The University is reacting to low student
attendance at men's basketball games by
converting 400 student seats to half-season
tickets.

This season is “one of the lightest distri<
butions we've ever had here.“ said Rodney
Stiles. student affairs officer. "The stu-
dents aren‘t picking up their tickets."

More than 3.000 student tickets have
been not be claimed for each home game.
Stiles said. "We have to fill those seats."
he said

Students still WIII have 6,500 seats. Stiles
said Students had been allotted 6.900 ticka
ets per game since Rupp Arena opened in
1976

The decision to sell half—season tickets
was made by the Athletics Office and the
Dean of Students Office, Stiles said. Acting
Athletics Director Joe Burch was out of
town and unavailable for comment.

Dean of Students Doug Wilson said half-
season tickets were a good idea,

Even though student attendance is way
down. administrators were reluctant to
take away student seats. Stiles said.

"We want to side with the students." he
said “We don't want to take them ltick-

etsi away from them." Students are better
fans because they make more noise and
create more excitement at games. Stiles
said.

Lines, lines

Students experience the headaches of registration system designed to take away long lines, problems with Add-drOp

By ELIZABETH WADE
Assistant News Editor

After having to stand in line for 112
hours to go through Adddrop yesterday.
Joyce Tiggelaar wasn't happy.

“I think the planning was really good for
registration but when you have add-drop
for one day it is not effictent for a school
the size of UK.” said Tiggelaar. a educa-
tion graduate student.

Tiggelaar wasn't the only student that
experienced long lines and frustration dur-
ing Adddrop yesterday.

Shortly after 9:30 am. the line for Add-
drop on the new computerized Student In
formation System extended through the
doors of the New Student Center. At 5:15
pm. the entire lobby of the New Student
Center was wall-to-wall with students wait-
ing in line.

Many students said they stood in line

anywhere from ~15 minutes to two hours
yesterday at the first computerized Add-
drop Students not only complained about
long lines. but they said there were other
problems.

“It is much improved. but it could still
be better. because there are still long
lines" said Mary Tackett. an allied health
professions senior. “I stood for two hours
in one line to drop one class,"

SIS was implemented to register stu-
dents by computer so they would have
their schedule when they left registration.
said Lana Dearinger. director of registra-
tion and scheduling. She also said the com-
puterized process would make Add-drop
and registration "almost one in the same."
In the past. Adddrop has been held in Me-
morial Coliseum.

SIS was used for the first time last fall to
register students for this semester.

Students said SIS was easier for i'cgis
tration than it was for Add-drop

"I liked it for registration. but I do not
know for Adddrop. because the computers
were down." said Harry Slierwall. an ace
counting junior

“This is horrible.“ said Iiebbic Wooluni.
a business freshman "I got all the way
through the line and ey cry class I needed
was closed "

Furthermore. students said they could
not get the classes they wanted because
after they went through the computer and
discovered their classes were closed. they
had to leave the terminal and reenter the
line for another chance

“In the coliseum. I just had to wait
around until someone dropped a class I
needed." said Angie Thomas. a finance Ju~
