Council members also made a positive step toward solving the Civilian junior, senior and grad uate seating on Kyle Field by send ing their recommendation to the Student Senate. They suggested that the. Senate allow Civilian juniors, seniors and graduates to be given colored tickets for the classes. These tickets would be in five sections, four of which would be torn off at each of the four home games. The specifically marked tickets would be taken up at the classes’ ramp entrance and given back if a student wanted to leave the ramp for some reason. The fifth section of the ticket would name the ticket and include the student’s signature. These would be used in addition to regular season tickets.
