1,700 Clemson tickets SG hnnps t< annual tick By Tammy Kilpatrick Staff Writer Seventeen hundred tickets to the USC-Clemson football game go on sale to USC students at 8:30 a.m. Monday at the coliseum. Each student is allowed to buy only one $10 ticket. Each student must present his own student identification card. Leon Parrott, chairman of the Student Government Athletic Committee, which will supervise the pickup, said students may begin camping out for tickets at 11:30 p.m. Saturday. Students attempting to camp out before that time will be turned away by Campus Police. "We (SG) want to be able to run it from the very beginning, and we want to be able to run it orderly," Parrott said. HE STRESSED that students camping out must sign the Student Government list at the table on the Greene Street side of the coliseum. Those signing the list will be obligated to follow Student Government rules during the pickup and must be stamped with a number. After 1,700 people have signed the list, Parrott said, Student Government will turn away other students to prevent problems like those in 1978. A few alternates will be allowed tn rpmain with thp warning that thev mav not receive tickets. At the 1978 pickup, too many students camped out, and there were problems when students learned the 2,200 available tickets were not enough to go around. Student Government hopes this year's limited pickup list will solve the problem. CAMPERS WILL be routed around the coliseum, making control easier.

"Hopefully nothing major will come up. When you get 1,700 people together, there's bound to be some problems. FOUR PORTABLE toilets will be Drovided for campers. The number of student tickets was cut from 2,200 to 1,700 because the allocation from Clemson decreased from 15,000 to 12,000. "It really seemed like a fair percentage to me," Parrott said. Most of the 12,000 tickets will go to Gamecock Club members. Others will go to the football team and other organizations. Student Government received 100 tickets, including one for each of the 50 advocates, Supreme Court and the president's cabinet. Each member of Student Government may pick up only one ticket by paying $10 and presenting his ID. 1 The senate voted Wednesday to allow Mortar Board to buy two tickets if any are left over from the Student Government allotment. Remaining tickets will be returned to the general student fund. The Mortar Board tickets, if received, will be used in a ! drawing to raise money for a USC graduate student scholarship. y be awarded Nov. 1 . originally awarded grants do November." ; not accept them.
