The blame for this situation does it rest with UNC. An allotment of 00 tickets to the visiting school is generous one. The blame lies ith the typically asinine ticket >licy of this university. We saw it last year with the eorgia football and Kentucky isketball games, and we are ieing it again now. The plain fact that, on the university's list of riorities, student interests rank sad last. I do not quarrel with the policy of iving Gamecock Club members tie first shot at tickets for away Dot ball games. Club members ontribute necessary money for fie operation of the athletic epartment.

Because nobody really gives a damn about the students at this university. It shows in the fee increase decision, the general attitude of the administration and the distribution of tickets to athletic events. Students alwavs finish last By the way, if you were planning on traveling to Athens to see the Georgia game, forget it. Those tickets are also gone. On the football field this year, things should finally be different from the past few years.
