and partying brought eager students to Lesboro winter to camp out for basketball tickets. In order to get the highly demanded tickets, students listened to WKNC for the camp out call. When the announcement was made, students had thirty minutes to prepare their groups and camping needs for the run to Reynold ' s Coliseum. Once the students arrived at the campsite on the North side of Dunn Avenue, monitors registered groups for their assigned places in line. The monitors had 35-40 groups to assign to four lines, the first 40 groups got sideline tickets. A single group, which had to have at least half of its members present at all times, could get a maximum of 14 tickets including those for guests. As the students settled into the campsite, the campers attempted to get some sleep for the long weekend ahead.. Students were given 24-60 hours to rough it on the road. The next day the partying began. The open air allowed students to drink, study, and listen to music. Sleep was hard to come by because of the cold hard ground and the festivities. Students often argued about by how much N.C. State would defeat its opponent. This year students built fires in the trash cans to ward off the chills only to see Public Safety put them out the next morning. Frequently, campers would make food runs to fast food restaurants and campus C stores, unless they packed a picnic lunch. As the hours passed on, the cold, tired, and hungry students hoped that the box office would open soon. At 5:30 am on the day of the sales, the students had to stand in line at the window with their All Campus Cards in hand and wait until distribution began at 7:00 am. At last, tickets were given to awaiting campers. Then the waiting was over, and it was time for students to attend the gameand prepare for the next long wait. What dedication!
