SALE OF STUDENT
TICKETS OPENS
Reduced Rate of $8.50 is Price Set
For Season's Sport Events;
1 Large Sale Expected
Student tickets for the sport events
of the 1927-28 season went on sale
this morning at the student activities
office in the Coliseum. The office
will remain open until 5 o'clock this
afternoon giving all students an op
portunity to purchase a season ticket
at the reduced rate of $8.50.
Football tickets only are included
in the book given out at the student
activities office today; the stub of
the book may be exchanged later in
the season for another book contain
ing tickets for basketball games and
other athletic events.
Many organizations are planning
to secure seats in a block. This may
be done by a representative of the
organization presenting a list of the
members desiring seats in that block.
The ticket sale this year is ex
pected to surpass that of all other
years because of the many more stu
dents in school this year and because
of the many big games on the home
field. The price of $8.50 is a great
saving to the students, as single ad
missions to the athletic events
total around $25.00. Twenty
five hundred seats are reserved for
students.
Freshmen Will Have Opportunity To
Meet Prpminent University Officials
Why should freshmen attend the
formal initiation and convocation
held in their honor?
The Freshman Convocation is a
tradition whdeh the university holds
every year. In the first place it gives
the new students a chance to get ac
quainted with each other. With such
a lrge group as there is this year,
it is almost impossible for the fresh
men to know each other. At such
meetings ss the Freshman Convoca
tion they become more or less ac
quainted.
It is at the convocation that the
new students become acquainted with
the duties to be theirs while attend
ing the school. Talks on discipline
and scholarship are given, and the
principles advanced are worthy of
attention.
Chancellor Burnett, Dr. Condra,
Coach Bearg, Coach Schulte, and
the various assistant coaches and
captains are introduced, giving the
freshmen knowledge of who these
men are. The new student will later
become more or less intimately ac
quainted with these men and to
know who they are in advance will
prove helpful.
At Freshman Convocation the stu
dent organizations are presented to
