Graduation - reply to Susan

I understand your frustration, been there myself for various family members over the years. However, I can't fault the district for only issuing two tickets for an indoor graduation. There is only so much room. How is fair to all the kids if the ones with divorced parets get four? Most local colleges do this the same way - unlimited numbers if held outside, limited to 2 if held inside.

I can't think of anyplace locally where they could hold it inside in the AC and accomodate all the people. I don't know how big a graduating class is at Butler, but even SRU with classes of about 800 can't accomodate everybody in any building - they have to limit tickets too.

Besides, do you want your tax dollars being spent to rent a huge facility for this? It's not cheap.
