Athletic Ticket booklets may not be irreplaceable after all. Thomas D. Bolles, director of Athletics, said yesterday that he hoped some satisfactory means could be devised to provide new books for students who lose theirs.
Yet no immediate relief is in sight for students who already have no booklet. Applications for tickets to the October 5 football game against Cornell must be filed before 5 p.m. today in the class boxes outside the H. A. A. building on 60 Boylston Street, and only properly completed pick application in official envelopes will be accepted.
Need Sense of Responsibility
Bolles insisted that the department did not wish to penalize students unfairly, but he said that "some sense of responsibility" must be instilled in students. He thought that some arrangement might be worked out by which a substitute booklet might be issued after a passage of time. He suggested that a student might be required to pay for one ticket after losing his booklet. Then his free ticket privilege would be reinstated.
U.A.C. May Act
Bolles suggested that the Undergraduate Athletic Council, which he credited with originating the booklet plan, concern itself with some solution to the lost booklet problem. The U.A.C., composed of major sport representatives, usually captains, and representatives of minor sports, intramural sports, and managers, does not hold its first meeting of the year until next Monday night, at which time it may take some action.
Student Council Considers Problem
On Monday Night the Student Council directed its athletic chairman, Stuart L. Levine '58, to consult with Ticket Manager Frank O. Lunden about the problem, and to report back at its next meeting, which is also on Monday Sept. 30.
