This year, the MSU Athletic Department has put in a new system where .LdleN,t people will need a valid ONE/CAT Card to obtain a ticket that will be moni tored by a scanner. @the Rec Center · Each student will be able to pick up their ticket at one of three locations: tlie Ask Us Desk, the cashier's office at Miller Dining Hall, and the main ticket office at the Fieldhouse. Every student who is enrolled in seven or more credits will be eligible for this ticket opportunity, and once your card is scanned once, it will not be able to be scanned again for another ticket f fop, &f opcorn opportunity. The bottom line is, students will only be able to obtain one tn t t! illa, ticket for each home football game and the computer will show when each card has been used. ~uu1ueuuaru, too1.1Sow1111y, uuti, These tickets can be picked up beginning on Monday at any of the loca tions.
