Free car, tuition up for grabs at State game The Michigan Marketing Department plans to have its biggest campaign yet at the Michigan-Michigan State basketball game Tuesday. Michigan Marketing Director Tom Brooks said his department will give several fans a chance to win a free Michigan tuition or new car at halftime. Contestants selected from the crowd will have to make a free throw and then a half-court shot to either pay for tuition or drive away in an automobile. Michigan will also give away 5,000 free headbands, giving supporters a chance to idolize Michigan freshman Jamal Crawford, who wears a headband every game. Pom-poms, 3-point cards and other promotional items are in the works. Brooks encourages all fans to wear maize for the game. Hockey fans will have an opportunity to grab one of 2,500 free maize t-shirts to be given away at Yost Ice Arena this Saturday, when Michigan faces Ohio State in its only game of the weekend. Tickets for the 7 p.m. game against the Spartans are sold out. The Feb. 13 Indiana matchup sold out last week, while only about 500 tickets remain for Ohio State on Feb. 6. All tickets cost $12 and $15. Students can pick up tickets at the Michigan Ticket Office next to Yost Ice Arena on State Street. - Mark Francescutti Originally on page 9A in the 1-26-2000 issue of the Daily.
