Sales
are high
By SHARON M. NEUBAUER
“Sold-out crowds” are expected
for the Villanova football team’s
home games this season, accord-
ing to Bill McDonough, director
of marketing and promotions for
Athletics.
Last year, all three of Villano-
va’s home games were sold-out,
and McDonough said that this
year all five are expected to do just
as well. The game against Buffalo
Oct. 4 marks the first home game
of the 1986 season, and McDo-
nough said that sales are going
great.

The athletic department expects sold-out crowds for the Villanova
football team’s home games this season.
“This year’s sales are ahead of
last year’s, and we expect a good
turnout for all games except
Ursinus, which is during Fall
Break,” McDonough said.
Head Football Coach Andy Tal-
ley is “very pleased” with the
football program and ticket sales.
According to Talley, the support
is “tremendous,” especially in a
rebuilding situation such as
Villanova’s.
Villanova is in its second year
of a four-year rebuilding program
and many of the teams played are
not familiar to the fans. Talley
said it is therefore often harder
for fans “to get psyched” for the
games. He said however, “There

Advisory system examined
By DANTE SCALA
Paul Mullen, secretary of Stu-
dent Government’s Department
of Academic Affairs, stated that
Kris Kreisel, the assistant secre-
tary of Student Government's
department of academic affairs
currently in the process
ing a Univ ity-wide
academic advisement
“to deter-
mine the areas of the University
in which advisement is lac ing,
both major-wise and colle
as well as possible methods “ot
improvin,
Mullen said that the Student
Government poll, which will be
worked on during the first semes-
ter, is being conducted in part as
a response to “ ... complaints
from numerous individuals that
they don’t receive any advisement;
that during pre-registration, they
don’t even see an academic advi-
sor, but just have a secretary that
brings in a schedule to be signed.”
While Mullen stressed that
“many students do get fine advise-
ment,” the quality of advisement
is “not uniform throughout, the
University,” and that there “ pos-
sibly is room for improveme:
Also, Mullen said that “possibly
23
during the first two years, more
advisement is needed.”
Academic advisement will be
“one of the priorities” of the
Student Government’s Depart-
ment of Academic Affairs this
year, he said.
Academic advisement differs in
each college. In the College of
Liberal Arts and Sciences, fresh-
men and sophomores in their fi
semester can go to the Rev. Wil-
liam McGuire, 0.S.A., and Dr.
Helen Lafferty for advisement in
Tolentine 113. After a student
declares his major, he is then
