More than half the tickets for the Aretha Franklin Family Weekend Concert remain unsold, and organizers say they have been purchased more slowly than expected. The tickets have been on sale to parents through the mail before they were opened to the general public two weeks ago. Dave Milberg, director of student life, said a little less than half of the $20 tickets, slightly less than 4,000, have been sold. “That’s a little low for now,” Milberg said. “I COLIN LANNING/Staff photographer expect it to pick up in light of all the radio ads that Sing it boys are out there.” Thaddeus Searcy, a sophomore business law major; Shawn Thompson, a freshman theater and art major; Kaleb Searcy, a Performances are being held on both Oct. 17 and junior speech communication major; and Clarence Searcy, a senior English major, sing and play the piano Thursday See TICKETS page 2A afternoon in the Alumni Lounge in the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union. 1,200 units sought next week during blood drive By SCOTT BOEHMER Bryan G.
