I'm sure whoever thought up the notebook for the beginning of the line last year thought it was a good idea, too.  That didn't stop those sketchy guys from grabbing the notebook and running away with it.  Don't underestimate people's greed to get better seats.

I'll amend that "us" to posters on ELF, then. :-)

1) i wasnt asking for the location whatsoever. actually, thinking critically on my concern, it probably doesn't make a difference even if plenty of people knew, as long as (a) CU makes the date early enough that the whole world won't want to get there even earlier and (b) athletics and cupd enforce the no-waiting-around beforehand rule. that being said, i was never advocating a leak, nor investigative work. the whole process will work only if there is no pre-line, and i have alot of confidence that they have gotten it right this year.

2) more important was my other concern- how do graduate students integrate into the purchase process, being that there are 2 lines, each with #s 1-100 in common

3) THE LIST was a good idea for a period of time, until people started getting pissed off at #400 or so. consequentially, i found myself chasing the asshole that stole the list out of my hands. the whole idea of the list was that if students could solve their own concerns amicably in such a way that avoided a 4:45 violent rush and had some form of meritocracy (to be fair, the first 50 kids were there since thursday morning), things would be better off. the chase was more symbolic than anything- just the fact that things came to the point where a student uprising was necessary signified that students no longer favored the system.

I'm guessing that the graduate students will have a different pool of seats to choose from than the undergrads like a couple rows in A, B, D, E or something of that nature.  I doubt they would make a whole graduate student section.

No new information, but here's the Daily Sun article regarding the procedure:

Calgari: You know what I am talking about, don't play dumb. ::innocent::

Mike '04:  I think you should spend your time worrying about how the line will work at the Harvard box office (traitor).  We should go to Foxwoods one of these days, give me a ring.

Certain seats are being reserved for grads in sections B, D & G.  The seats in B & D represent columns, not rows.  For example, seats 1 & 2 in all rows of D.  They are also being allotted the "sitting" portion of section G.
