CAMPUS PARTY TO MEET The Campus party will meet Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock in the Roland Parker lounge of Gra ham Memorial, it was announced yesterday by Chairman Jesse Ded mond. By Irwin Smallwood Student seating at football games, which became a point of hot controversy after the first home game last year, has been altered considerably for the 1947 season, it was announced yesterday by. Athletic Director Bob Fetzer, who said in making the announce- ment that he and the athletic depart ment hoped the changes made on the basis of student estimates for next fall would suffice. What might have turned into aa unfortunate student-athletic depart ment feud was averted when president of the student body Tom Eller, Tar Heel Editor Barron Mills, Legislature Member Charlie Long and Sports Editor Irwin Smallwood requested a conference with Fetzer and subse quently worked out a plan whereby students would be seated to the best advantage possible. Seats Begin on 50-Yard Line Important changes include the mov ing of the student section 600 seats over from where it started last year to the 50-yard line, and the installa tion of temporary bleachers above the concrete stands for all home games. Next fall, the student section will begin the middle of the section di rectly in front of the press box and continue toward the goal line until the stands are filled. For all five games next year, the sections which last year held approxi mately 1,000 will hold 1,500, thus put- 4 ting a maximum of students in the best seats possible. Student admis sion will be handled in the same way it was last year, with the holders of the passbooks exchanging the cou pons for reserved seat stubs at the gate. Students wishing to bring guests to ths games will be allowed to turn in their passbook coupon, pay the price of one ticket and secure two reserved seats as long as they last. However, they will not be able to do this until they are registered in school next fall and have their fall quarter passbooks. Ticket Sales July 1 reserved tickets for all home games will be put on sale across the counter in Woollen gym, and students will be eligible to buy them on the same basis as the general public. At present, season books are being sold at the Woollen gym ticket window. At the same time the student seat ing announcement was made, ticket officials at Woollen announced that all faculty members and University employees who are entitled to them should apply at once for their season tickets if they want them. If they are not secured by July 1 they will be thrown in the single game ticket pool and be sold on a first come, first served plan.

Mrs. Smith will play several solos in addi tion to furnishing background music for the entire show Thursday evening.
