the University Athletic Asso

four home games South Car
olina. Kentucky. Tennessee
and Auburn. Under the pro
posal students will be charged
$1 per game for a reserved
seat. Smith said Students
must purchase reserved tick
ets to get into the game, he
added Since the Tulane game
is played before registration,
a separate reserved seating
arrangement is being devel
oped (or this game, he said
During the week of each
home game a student will go
to a specified location and
redeem his coupon lor a reser
ved seat ticket One student
may pick up anothers reser
ved seat ticket, but a limit
will be placed on the total
number of tickets that one
person can pick up. Smith
continued
Details on the procedure
for picking up tickets will be
finalized later, but is antici
pated that students will begin
picking up tickets on Wednes
day or Thursday before the

iors being given the opportun
ity to pick up their tickets

A student will be able to
turn in his date's coupon for a
reserved seat along with his
own Guest tickets will be sold
at a specified time as usual.
Smith continued.
For group seating, ihe
president of the organization
desiring to sit together will
take all of the organization's
coupons to the athletic de
partment and have the cou
pons redeemed for a block of
reserved seats
When a student exchanges
his coupon for a ticket his ID
card will not be punched, he
will need only his coupon for
the particular game The stu
dent will be admitted to the
game on Saturday by both his
ID card and his reserved seat
ticket
A detailed explanation of
the reserved seating system
will be released later when
plans for picking up tickets
and admission to the Tulane
game are finalized. Smith
said

Course Changes
By JIM BAIRD
Members of a faculty committee are considering pos
sible changes in the curriculum of the Franklin College
of Arts and Sciences
One of the changes being
Jiscussed would allow arts
and sciences students more
choice in fulfilling degree
requirements, according to
the committees chairman.
Dr W J Payne, head of
Ihe department of microbio
logy Also, the bachelor of
science program may be
changed to include more math
and science courses, he added
The committee is examin
ing the rumculum as the first
step in an "in-depth study of
the college of arts and sci
ences.'' Dr Payne said
Formed by Dean Boyd Mc
Whorter last fall to obtain an
evaluaUon by the faculty of
every aspect of the college,
the committee is serving only
in an adivisry role. Payne
emphasized
When it reaches its conclu
sions on the curriculum dis
cussion. the committee will
present its proposals to the
dean, who will then present
them to the faculty for ac
ceptance or rejection Payne
said that the committee
should finish discussion of the
curriculum by the end of the
year
Dr Payne said that the
committee may recommend
that the dean keep a commit
tee of this kind on call at all
times for advice whenever he
needs it.
An unusual aspect of this
committee is that the mem
bers are elected by the fa
culty. but the chairman and
vice chairman are appointed
by the dean When it con
cludes the curriculum discus
sion. the committee will
examine the organizabon of
