Student ticket policy needs revision

Editor:

I was one of many students who waited outside the McKale ticket office early this morning because we were told we could get basketball tickets, (because lottery winners don't always go to get them) by a McKale ticket office employee. Some students were there since 7 a.m. After a while out came a guy who told everybody that they were only selling to people on the alternate list and that maybe next Monday they'd sell to other students. Many students got quite angry, I guess the ticket people think that students enjoy standing in lines. When one student asked to see the man's supervisor he said that all of his supervisors were on vacation. What a joke.

All we are trying to do is see are beloved basketball team, even though you give us the worst seats in the building and the worst games of the year (UCLA isn't in the student package, imagine that). The whole system is crazy, why you don't put them up for sale at one time, like they do at Duke is beyond me. Oh yeah, Duke likes their students to get involved, I forgot.
