Slow migration-game sales
surprise NU ticket manager
From Staff Reports
NU’s ticket manager knew this
year's student migration game would
be held south of the Nebraska-Kansas
border.
But John Anderson didn’t expect
ticket sales to go south, too.
As of Wednesday night, Anderson
said, the ticket office had received ap
plications for only “a couple hundred''
of the 800 tickets allotted for the stu
dent migration game. The game will
be against Kansas State University in
Manhattan, Kan., an Oct 5.'
“This comes as a big surprise,"
Anderson said. “Considering how fast
the season tickets sold out we figured
this game would go the same way.*
The ticket office began accepting
applications for migration game tick
ets Thesday morning. Applications are
due today by 6 p jtl
r1 —
Anderson said he couldn’t imagine
why ticket sales had been so slow this
year.
Anderson said this year's $35 tick
ets cost the same as those for last year’s
game against Colorado, which was a
game that saw its ticket allotment sell
out early. Ticket prices for each year's
migration game are set by the home
team, Anderson said.
‘‘Nebraska always seems to be a
high point an their schedule," he said,
“and they sometimes charge a little
more than they do for usual games."
Any leftover tickets not sold to stu
dents will go to athletic department
donors, Anderson said.
“I'd rather see the tickets go to the
students," Anderson said. “This a great
opportunity for than."
Ticket applications can be picked
up and filled out at the NU ticket of
fice, 117 South Stadium. Tickets will
be distributed on a lottery basis.
The temptation of sweets Jind
snacks sometimes is hard to avoid,
and for some students, so is the in
famous “freshman 15.”
But there is hope for those who
want to maintain a healthy lifestyle
and their waistline, too.
The University Health Center is
offering two special programs to
help students learn how to safely
shed extra pounds—permanently.
The Active Way to Weight Con
trol class, which begins Monday,
focuses on gradual, permanent
weight loss, healthy choices and
healthier lifestyles.
“We discuss good nutrition, ex
ercise, fat intake, behavior modifi
cation, body image and a lot more,”
said Karen Miller, registered dieti
tian fa* the University Health Cen
ter and Campus Recreation. “The
class isn’t a Band-Aid approach. We
cover everything.”
Freshmen generally gain weight
because they are less active in col
lege than they woe in high school
but still eat the same amount of
food, Miller said.
Depression, boredom and stress
can also cause weight gain.
“Food is the number one cop
ing mechanism for stress,” Miller
said.
The Active Way to Weight Con
trol course consists of1040-minute
sessions from 12:10-12:50 pan. or
4:00-4:40 pjn. at the University
Health Center. The cost is $30 for
students and $35 for faculty and
staff.
Class-participants must have a
medical evaluation prior to begin
ning the program. Free evaluations
are available to students at the Uni
versity Health Center.
In addition to the course, a new
weight-related discussion group is
forming for both men and women
who have questions and concerns
about their lifestyle.
“The discussion group is a safe
place where people can come to talk
and ask questions without feeling
pressure to lose weight,” Miller
said.
Kris Stenberg of the Women's
Center will co-lead the class with
Miller. Stenberg offers counseling
to the program while Miller pro
vides nutritional information and
facts.
“Many times eating patterns are
tied to emotions, so I’m there to dis
cuss those issues,” Stenberg said.
The discussion group begins
Sept. 19,12 pja-1 pjn. in room
338 of the Nebraska Union.

program contact Karen Miller at
