...wished to get a ticket to the Harvard-Army hockey game. The only notice of the time of the ticket sale was put on the door of their building a day before the sale. If I hadn't accidentally gone by there I never would have learned of it, and missed out completely. Well, I waited in line for 45 minutes and was tenth in line. Did I get a good ticket? No. My sent was at the far extreme end of the sidelines--behind the net--on the Army side! Is this the best the HAA can give...
Today, I went to get a ticket for the ECAC hockey games. There was no notice of the ticket sale anywhere except on the door. It had been put up there only that morning. They were to go on sale at 3 p.m., but the line began forming at 1:30 p.m. By the time the windows opened the number in line far exceeded the meagre supply the HAA had for us.

...came to the office with what he said were ticket requests from the players. He had to knock on the door for three minutes before they even answered him (Wadaya want?).

It cares nothing about the students--the team's most loyal, vocal, and knowledgeable supporters. Why can't the ticket agency be completely separate from the HKA? It would then be less susceptible to the blatant graft which now exists. Why can't the students get a better and fairer deal? If we can't run it ourselves we can at least investigate it. Where is the Student Council (or whatever...
...nomination in 1958 was blocked by a political friend turned foe: Philadelphia Democratic Boss William Joseph Green Jr., 52, the rosy-faced, soft-spoken son of an Irish saloonkeeper. It was Green who first helped Dilworth toward public office; in 1951 Dilworth was part of a reform ticket that ended 67 years of corrupt Republican rule in Philadelphia. But Green soon came to consider Blueblood Dilworth too independent, and a bit of a snob to boot; and Dilworth had little feeling for Old Pro Green's brand of politicking. After Dilworth became mayor in 1956, Green feuded with...
