Administration tells
fans to keep off seats
SEATS from page 1
Stadium bleachers, Anderson
said. Another 4,000 non-students
pay $175 each to sit behind the
students for the football season.
Students buy their tickets for
half-price, and all 72,000 tickets
in Memorial Stadium have been
sold for fall football games. The
3,500 students who sit in East
Stadium are unaffected by the pol
icy because no non-students sit
behind them.
Curt Ruwe, president of the
Association of Students of the
University of Nebraska, said stu
dents now have control over
whether they keep their seats or
not.
Ruwe co-signed the flier with
Athletic Director Bill Byrne,
encouraging students to stand in
the foot wells.
During a meeting of the chan
cellor’s cabinet last spring, Byrne
told the chancellor and other uni
versity officials that he planned to
move student seating to the top of
South Stadium this fall, Ruwe
said.
Ruwe said he was upset by
Byrne’s announcement during the
meeting.
“There’s a very good shot he
could have moved them without
our knowledge,” Ruwe said. “I
just about saw my whole presiden
cy go by the wayside.”
But ASUN and James Griesen,
vice chancellor for student affairs,
asked Byrne to compromise with
students instead of moving their
seats without warning.
Ruwe said compromising was
his only choice to keep student
seats from moving this fall.
But Byrne promised by signing
the flier that he will not propose
another move of student seating
next year if students comply with
the flier’s request, Ruwe
said.“He’s held to this,” Ruwe
said.
Group urges students
to back sports teams
FURY from page 1
for each athletic event they
attend. Those points add up to
earn Husker apparel, tickets and
better, closer seats at next year’s
football games.
Boe said students would get
their priority seats when they
apply for tickets next year. By that
time, all their attendance points
from this year will be counted.
As another perk, HuskerFury
members are guaranteed seats at
football games that normally
require a student ticket lottery,
such as the migration game and
bowl game, Boe said.
Stacy Lint, a freshman
accounting major, said she decid
ed to join HuskerFury because
she “was just interested in getting
involved in sports events” and
heard about the club through her
University Foundations class.
HuskerFury is based on an
organization at the University of
Illinois called Illini Pride. The
group is more than 10 years old
and has 1,000 members.
Two years ago, the University
oi Illinois taught other schools
how to start similar groups.
Swanson was there, and has been
planning HuskerFury every since.
Representatives from 12 other
universities also attended the con
ference to start similar clubs.
Boe will meet with anyone
who wants to be a member of
HuskerFury in the Nebraska
Union in three weeks.
Information about the club and
the meeting will be announced in
the Daily Nebraskan.
Once the club is started, Boe
wants to hand leadership over to
students by electing a president,
vice president, secretary and trea
surer for the club.
To become a member of
HuskerFury, students can register
at the Athletic Department or
through the campus mail.
Members do not have to pay the
membership fee when they regis
ter, but can pay later when they
find out more about the club, Boe
said.
Swanson said the club hoped
to enlist 500 members this year.
