the Lady Lions have. They swept a doubleheader at Geneva College last Thursday. They won 19-2 and 6-2. Since then
they've pulled out the brooms and swept doubleheaders against Notre Dame of Ohio and Washington and Jefferson College.

Seating policy regarding students has changed
Press Release
Football '93
and administrative committee
found that there were several
potential causes for the blocked
seats and aisles. First, the
student seating area is unassigned
"festival" seating. Second, a
number of recent alumni
routinely migrate from the
reserved seating area to the
student section in order to sit
with their friends. Third, not
enough ushers were available to
keep the aisles and ramps clear.
After several meetings, the
committee made the following
recommendations: devise a
system that would provide day-of
game reserved seating in the
student section; increase the
number of ushers in the student
section and prevent migration
from other arms of the stadium to
the student section.
The new process of day-of
game reserved seating provides
individual students and groups the
opportunity to sit with friends on
the day of the game and change
that location for each of the home
games. Several steps are required
for the procedure.
First, the University will mail
student season coupon
applications. If you are a
returning full-time, transfer, or a
readmitted student for the fall
semester 1993 at Behrend, you
Reserved seat tic ets
will be mailed to the

individual for

will be mailed a student coupon
application to your permanent
home address no later than May
26. If you do not have an
application by June 1, contact the
Athletic Ticket Office at (814)

You should respond to the
application immediately, as
season coupons will sell out
early based on the history of this
sale.
Second, applications are
processed on a first-come first
served basis. If all season
coupons are allocated when your
application reaches the Ticket
Office, your check will be

Third, you will receive a color
coded coupon for each home
game based on your semester
standing; you may redeem the
coupon for a reserved seat ticket
prior to the day of the game
using the procedures listed below.
Two weeks prior to the game,
if you have a group of 20 or
more fellow students who want
to be seated together, you may
