ticket sale
By MARIANA HEREDIA
The Red & Buck
Selling your Georgia-
Florida tickets can be part of
a business. A big business.
Recently, students have
been offered the chance to
sell their Georgia-Florida
football game tickets for a
“guaranteed” SIOO. Students
can get more if the tickets
are in a block of at least four.
The flier advertising this
business targeted students
with enough hours to request
a ticket, but who were not
interested in actually going
to the game.
The flier said these stu
dents would be given $l4O on
the spot after yielding their
student IDs to the buyers.
These people would then go
to the ticket office and col
lect the tickets.
On Sunday, Georgia-
Florida game tickets were
listed for at least S2OO on
Craigslist.
The creators of the flier
declined to comment.
However, according to the
University Athletic
Association website, only
students are allowed to pick
up tickets for themselves and
for at most three other peo
ple with the use of student
IDs.
Tim Cearley, director of
ticket operations, said selling
the tickets is not against the
rules.
“It is not enforced or stat
ed in the policy of the stu
dent ticket platform. No
state law prohibits it either,"
he said.
However, he also said the
Athletic Association has
taken measures to prevent
the resale of tickets.
Particularly, they have made
student IDs the only way for
students to enter home

Feisty female foursome rides instrumental waves

If the boys of Hanson grew tes
ticles and started calling them
selves Ironic, you’d have
Incendiaries which actually is
an all female rock-persuaded
band.
The foursome is a powerhouse
of technical skill and unrestrained
vocals interlaced with melodic
instrumentation and hooks, a
sound that has come together
through a unique cast of women
—and a lack of talented male
candidates.

One week. One cat Eight
hundred dollars worth of gas.
These are the tools Blake
Lipthratt and Bradley Jones,
undergraduate students at the
University, used to get from
one end of the country to the
other.
The two friends auditioned
to participate in the Sears
Auto Center campaign
“Exploring My America: Road
Stories."
The campaign gave partici
pants $1,500 and money for
car maintenance to explore
America’s famous highways.
Among the roads were Route
66, the Appalachian Trail and
Coast to Coast, which stretch
es from Oregon to
Massachusetts.
Lipthratt and Jones were
on one of the three legs that
explored the cities and people
along Dixie Overland Highway.
The pair started in El Paso,
Texas, and finished in San
Diego, Calif. During their jour
ney which concluded at the
end of the summer the two
would upload videos, photos
and journal entries for others
to eqjoy and vote on.
“The landscape was barren.
It wels in the middle of the
desert, so we had to try to
make the best of it,” Lipthratt
said.
Both students, however,
agreed that what made their
stretch of the highway so
entertaining was not the scen
ery, but the people they met
on the way.
“Where we were [in Bisbee,
Ariz.J there were green road
signs but literally no paved
roads,” Jones said.
At this point, the two
stopped to get directions from
