May graduates
should turn in
extra tickets
By NANCY LEHMAN
Cfoff XA/rifAr
wimi TI i noi
If students don't use all of their allotted graduation
tickets this May, they will be asked to turn them in for
redistribution among graduation candidates who want
extras.
"That's the way we've worked in the past," USC
Media Relations Director Debra Allen said.
The redistribution would be done by a lottery
method, so each potential graduate has an equal
chance of getting extra tickets.
So far, each candidate receives four tickets, one for
himself and three for guests. "That may change or
may not change," Allen said.
The final decision about ticket allocation cannot be
made until USC deals with White House security, Allen
said. The President and Mrs. Bush will attend the
May ceremonies along with composer Andrew Lloyd
Webber and actress Helen Hayes.
The number of tickets that graduation candidates receive
this year is nothing out of the ordinary, Vice
President of Student Affairs Dennis Pruitt said. He
said the final decision on tickets will be made in
April.
"There are a potential of about 2,500 students who
could graduate," he said.
Right now, there are 1,660 candidates for undergraduate
graduation, Diane Sanders of the Registrar's Office
said.
The capacity of the coliseum on graduation day will
be about 10,500 to 11,000, Pruitt said. The usual 180
tickets have been allotted to faculty, and 60 have been
allotted for the platform party.
Pruitt said he does know how many seats the press
will need, but that the presidential party would be relatively
small.
"It's going to be full," Pruitt said.
Beyond Bush's security considerations, the ceremony
will go as normal as possible, he said.
The Secret Service might not allow people to sit directly
behind the stage for security reasons, Pruitt
