THE THK18HIK
Football Tickets test :
To Go On Sale Soon
For each game of the 1951 football season, whether at
home or away, each blanket tax holder will be allowed to pur-
chase one guest ticket at the regular price, announced G. T.
McBride, Associate Dean of Students, yesterday.
This guest ticket will be mutilated upon sale, and the
ticket holder must present him-
self with a blanket tax holder
to gain admission. Blanket
taxes are non-transferable and
must be presented to be punch-
ed whenever used.
At home games, the holder of the
guest ticket will be allowed to sit
anywhere in the student section,
without regard to ticket designa-
tion; it will thus be possible for a
student and his guest to sit to-
gether at home football games.
In order to sit with his guest at
games away from home, the stu-
dent must, using his blanket tax,
obtain his ticket and the guest
ticket at the same time.
Tickets for all games will be avail-
able at the Gymnasium Box Office
the first two weeks of the school
year, September 24-28 inclusive and
October 1-5 inclusive, with the ex-
ception that tickets for the Clem-
son and LSU games will be avail-
able only September 24-28 inclusive.
The Gymnasium Box Office will be
open from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Tickets will not be sold in the
Lounge as before.
For all games except Clemson,
Texas, and SMU games, guest
tickets will also be available during
the week preceding the week of the
