WHEREAS,  for the UNC v. NC State game, there are 2,850 seats reserved, all of those were

allocated to campout participants, per the decision of the Senate Campus Community Committee; and,

WHEREAS,   due to differences in opinion, Vice Chancellor Tom Stafford sought to reduce the allotment of tickets available to those who did campout to 1500 students, with the other half being reserved for the online ticketing system; and,

WHEREAS,   given the proximity of the event – approximately 10 hours – this action, if followed through would have had severe consequences for the 3,200 students planning to campout; and,

WHEREAS,  after notification that there was a distinct possibility of halving the campout

allotment, the persons responsible for planning campout began negotiations with Dr. Stafford and eventually secured the original allotment; and,

WHEREAS,   campout, despite the above problems, was a success, with 2800 students all getting tickets for the UNC v. NCSU basketball game; now, therefore be it,

RESOLVED,   that the Student Senate recognizes the work of the Campus Community   Committee and many others working to make the 2008 campout one of the largest ever; and be it further,

RESOLVED,  that the hours put into events of this nature often goes unnoticed, but it is the commitment from dedicated people that makes all organizations, especially such as Student Government, successful; and be it further,

RESOLVED, that we all reflect and learn from both the positive and the negative events to

make future campouts a success.
