to 15 people). Registration for camp out will close at 6 p.m. on
Sunday, February 5. Group members must verify their membership as

The deadline for verification is 6 p.m. on Monday, February 6. ALL
group leaders must then print out the form with all verified members and
submit to the Student Government office in Witherspoon 307 between 3p.m.
and 9 p.m. on Monday, February 6. If there is a conflict with this time, a
group may turn in the form early, but not late. Please do not put the

How Line Order is Determined: After forms are
received all the eligible groups will be numbered. All the numbers will be
put in a computer to be placed in a random order. The last group who will
be allowed to campout will be indicated on the posting. The order of camp
out will be posted on this page. On Friday at 4:00 p.m. the winning groups
will be allowed to setup for campout. Only groups that are guaranteed
tickets will be allowed to campout. All other groups will be placed on
stand by. The first line check will occur around 7:00 p.m. If any group is
kicked out the next group in line will be contacted and have one hour from
contact time. There will be two attempts at contact; if no contact is made
the next group in line will be contacted. The group that is next in line
will be placed in the position on the group that was kicked out.

ok. when the hell is campout actually going to be? I keep seeing different things. Whitehouse said the 17th in the technician and I also saw the 17th in the verification email. Someone needs to make up their damn minds.

1/31/2006 3:32:33 PM

I'm gonna bank on the 17th. I signed up today

1/31/2006 5:22:30 PM

ticket website has it up for the 10th

1/31/2006 6:07:15 PM

so half the members of the group must be present at all times? For some reason I thought just one........

1/31/2006 6:28:01 PM

I think campouts suck ass. You really can't do anything about that besides bullshit around. Then when its all over with, you still get shitty ass tickets behind the goal, and others get front row student tickets from the lottery......

1/31/2006 6:34:29 PM

to the best of my knowledge, everyone from the maryland campout has ticketes on the sideline.

Tyler Durden should really have done the obligatory "you do not talk about campout" line of jokes.

1/31/2006 6:50:01 PM

group of 7, signed up, im ready

1/31/2006 7:08:06 PM

we've already got nine, good to go

1/31/2006 7:09:55 PM

well, I'm going to trust Scott here on this one, since originally when the 7 people in the room decided on which games to do campout for, we were told it would have to be on the 10th. In fact, that last campout was a week later than what Athletics suggested it to be.

I'll assume the 10th, since that's what the ticket website says. Assuming it's on the 17th, I can't go. I imagine some others are on teh fence based on the dates as well.

Oh, and to respond to the technician viewpoint the other day----athletics didn't decide when campout would be. There were 7 students in the room, and 2 people from Athletics. We decided based on what games we had to chose from, when the other games were, and completely forgot about the super bowl --well, we didn't forget, i just thought it was a week later...

So, students get to pick when campout will be, not athletics. They just go along for the ride and pay for the pizza.

If you'd like to make suggestions to your student senators in the campus community committee, there's always the option of a third campout if you all want it.

1/31/2006 7:30:49 PM

Group of 7 in baby! Atsur's Army!

1/31/2006 7:31:01 PM

Its going to be on the 10th, we couldnt decide which date for longest time and we had documents that said both dates, he cut and paste from the wrong one.

And the first rule of campout is, you do not talk about campout

and SG is going to impeach me, again

should I get re-elected, do campout and get impeached every year until I get my Master's?

What do you think?

1/31/2006 8:03:23 PM

haha, I saw that today and laughed my ass off
then I read this:
http://students.ncsu.edu/senate/bills.php?lid=100&s=05
and laughed even more

1/31/2006 8:23:47 PM

haha. Go for it Scott. SG needs some serious help.

^ Now that's funny right there. I don't care who you are.

i am ready to campout and will be there.that is all.

1/31/2006 11:44:10 PM

Its the 10th~

1/31/2006 11:48:50 PM

campout is retarded and that bill was hilarious

1/31/2006 11:49:58 PM

dont have time to read this all, but might someone have room for at the most 4 and at the minimum 2 people in their campout group?

1/31/2006 11:55:35 PM

Are you a bitch?

2/1/2006 12:00:04 AM

Campout will be on Friday, February 10th.

2/1/2006 12:01:53 AM

okay

2/1/2006 12:03:00 AM

someone should name their group "go back to brokeback mountain"

2/1/2006 12:11:15 AM

Some of my people are stupid and can't decide, talking about it's to far in advance, whatever they are stupid, and I will be at campout and yes so will four square!

2/1/2006 1:00:30 AM

if you need a couple people to fill in, let me know

2/1/2006 1:49:08 AM

^^ lol, the return of four square

awesome

2/1/2006 3:29:27 PM

i don't get why they can't just give campout spots to as many people request them up until the point when they're out of student tickets entirely -

if enough kids sign up for campout, then there should be no lottery at all for carolina tickets, just give the seats to the kids who cared enough to show up to campout

why put a limit on the number of tent spots

2/1/2006 5:59:30 PM

some people just logistically can't go to campout, for whatever reason. it may have nothing to do with "caring"

2/1/2006 6:01:40 PM

then logistically they shouldn't get tickets

They have to put a limit on it because the disaster campout there were 4 times more tents then tickets

2/1/2006 6:08:58 PM

but the truth is that there hasn't been that big of demand since...
until students start signing up for campout in mass quanitities, it won't be the sole way of giving out tickets because over 1500 would go unused

and the logic that you may throw saying that without an alternate distribution from campout demand woudl go up for campout spaces is flawed, because it's been tested and failed

2/1/2006 8:39:02 PM

it hasn't been tested....the best tickets have never been given only to campout

2/1/2006 9:00:58 PM

^ Exactly. I bet if it was stated that only campouters would get lower-level tix, the demand for campout would go through the roof.

2/1/2006 9:33:13 PM

i like the way you think

2/1/2006 10:34:29 PM

Thats not fair to people who work, rite?

2/1/2006 10:53:33 PM

Not a student anymore but this confuses me. so whats the point in camping out? alcohol isn't allowed at campout? Barrell fires aren't allowed either? You can get tickets w/o having to camp out? whats the point? no fun allowed at all. sounds to me like just allot of people hanging outside in the middle of winter just for the sake of being cold. hell, if you guys want to do that just pitch in a yard on brent road and you can drink up.

This, my friends, is exactly why campouters need to get absolutely AWESOME seats. I got awesome seats w/ Maryland, but I didn't have a PROMISE that I would as a result of camping out. A promise of those awesome seats would at least give us a solid answer to that very question.

Cook out runs and Four-Square are the highlights of the night now...

2/1/2006 11:18:45 PM

damn college was so much more fun in the '90s when you were not tared, featherd, and rode out of town on a pole for drinking a <gasp>beer.

I'm sure somewhere in my posts I have said this before....If you campout, you get priority seating...meaning lower level seats go to those who campout first, and then they throw in the rest of the tickets to the rest of the seats...

This isn't a hard thing to understand, and it was this way last year too

2/2/2006 1:22:45 AM

"and it was this way last year too"

Tell that to those who camped out for 300-level seats then. And yes, indeed it happened.

If it's 100% this year that campers get priority seating, awesome, but I hadn't seen that written in stone 'til now.

2/2/2006 7:51:11 AM

my understanding was the reason for 300 level before was that there aren't 1000 floor seats, so after a certain number they have to start putting student up top (SWPC gets a good portion of floor seats right off the bat)

2/2/2006 8:15:58 AM

how many people are they actually lettin campout for this one?

statefansnation.com has a good article on campout back in the day and how much fun it was for underclassmen to hangout on campus, meet others they normally wouldn't and generally have a good time.
2000 wasn't the only year that couches got burned, I think the administration got pissy b/c of furniture being burned form inside buildings... I hope these first steps go somewhere towards what campout used to be...

2/2/2006 10:09:34 AM

hope the forecast changes...or else we could be in for some *interesting* weather:

2/2/2006 10:50:11 AM

ah hell

2/2/2006 11:07:14 AM

haha. snow my ass. It's way too far off to have any clue as to what the weather will be.

2/2/2006 11:46:26 AM

ok since the Student Government and all the old people at NCSU have tried to take away some of the craziness associated with campout, i think its only proper that we try to restore the past next Friday night.

oh, and im bringing a trash can painted UNC blue and beating it for 24 hours straight. maybe that can become a tradition. if not, i'll still beat it in my tent.

PS: others are welcome to beat it in my tent as well
