Many Ohio State fans expected to attend

While most University of Arizona students aren't expecting to be smelling the roses come January, it hasn't hurt ticket sales for the first home football game of the season against Ohio State University, said Darlene Caselan Sprigg, director of ticket operations.

"I anticipate we'll be sold out," Sprigg said.

Long lines of students waited outside the ticket windows on the south side of the McKale Center yesterday, leaving only single tickets remaining in the students' section.

"Students have been coming out pretty crazy since Tuesday," Sprigg said.

Today in history: Thursday September 7, 2000

In 1664, without resistance, Dutch Gov. Peter Stuyvesant surrendered New Amsterdam to a British naval force under Col. Richard Nicolls, thus effectively ending the Dutch colonial presence in the New World. With the departure of the Dutch, the name of the promising settlement on lower Manhattan was changed to New York.

In 1776, the world's first submarine attack occurred when the submersible craft American Turtle attacked British Admiral Richard Howe's flagship Eagle in New York Harbor during the Revolutionary War.
