U.C. Negotiates Release of More Yale Tickets

Student tickets for this Saturday's Harvard-Yale football game will go on sale again tomorrow morning, after negotiations between the Undergraduate Council and the athletic department.

Students who missed the October 21 deadline to buy $12 reduced-rate tickets will be able to go to the ticket office in the basement of Harvard Hall by Friday and "be considered as late applicants," said Director of Sports Information John P. Veneziano.

Rudd W. Coffey '97, the council member who negotiated the extension, said that while about 4,000 students have already ordered tickets, many missed out.

"This is a real big victory for the U.C.," Coffey said.

At last night's council meeting, members passed two other resolutions designed to follow through on the council's recent push for "school spirit."

In a resolution proposed by Richard A. Cole '95, the council unanimously agreed to sponsor a pep rally Friday evening in the Malkin Athletic Center quad.

"We're going to pass out song sheets, and the [football] coach is going to be there," Cole said. "It's going to be a real big morale booster."

The council also allocated money for security at its tailgate party before the Yale game Saturday.

In other business, the council unanimously agreed to administer a used book sale after exams in January.

Council members, will collect books at the Science Center and pay students 50 percent of the book's value, a price comparable to that paid by the Coop.

A few council members proposed selling the books for a profit.

"If we could get a little profit out of that, everybody's going to be better off," said Spyros H.Poulios '95.

But the council decided to re-sell the books next fall at no more than the price they paid.

"It keeps our book sale free of scandal," said resolution sponsor Jonathan P.Feeney '97. "This is a real service were supplying to a large number of students."

The council loaned itself $5000 from its spring grants fund to finance buying the used textbooks in January.
