February 1, 2007 MEMORANDUM TO: Texas A&M University Students SUBJECT: Aggie Basketball Tickets All of us associated with Texas A&M University are obviously pleased by the tremendous success of the Aggie basketball team. Unfortunately, it became clear to everybody involved with last night's failed ticket pull that demand for tickets has overwhelmed our traditional means of distributing them.

From AggieAthletics.com: **UPDATED** STUDENT TICKET PULL INFORMATION 1. There will be a random lottery system to select which Texas A&M Students will receive tickets to Monday's Men's Basketball game against Texas. 2. All students that have a sports pass option that includes basketball AND have pulled a ticket for least one Men's Basketball home game this year will be automatically entered into the lottery.

5:45 Rose Belzung is one of six students who arrives early to pull tickets for Monday's game against the University of Texas. Belzung has a broken clavicle and a third-grade separation in her shoulder.

Given the continued westward growth of the Texas A&M campus and the immense amount of traffic flow that exists, the University is considering building two additional railway grade separations or underpasses beneath the railroad tracks, said Charles Sippial, vice president for Facilities at A&M.

Junior wildlife and fisheries science major Russell Martin orders his Aggie ring Wednesday afternoon. Although excited about ordering his ring as a junior, he is disappointed he must wait until April for ring day.
