More Chances to See Lady Gaga, Thanks to the UC

Gaga over Gaga? Well, put on your Poker Face.

Your chances to see the one and only Fame Monster in person have just gotten better.

Earlier this evening, the Undergraduate Council sent a campus-wide message to students detailing a chance to win a ticket to Lady Gaga's official launch for the Born This Way Foundation on Feb. 29.

While the Graduate School of Education opened its public raffle for the same event just yesterday, administrators decided that the UC TKTS program was the best avenue through which they could raffle off more tickets. This collaboration will give more Starstruck students the opportunity to attend the launch.

Already, this joint UC-HGSE surprise has amassed high amounts of attention.

"Everybody wants one," UC President Danny P. Bicknell '13 said, laughing.

Sign-ups have also been pouring in. Only six hours since the system went live, the UC has already received more than 1,400 responses.

Lucas G. Freitas '15, a Crimson photographer, said that he once spent six hours stalking Lady Gaga in New York. He signed up instantly for the lottery after receiving the UC email.

"I would literally scream out loud if I got in," Freitas said. "Some people just don't understand how amazing [Lady Gaga] is and how much she means to me."

Registration is open until 5 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 25, after which luck and probability take the reins.

As Bicknell and Vice President Pratyusha Yalamanchi '13 summed up perfectly in their email, "Just Dance because You and I are on The Edge of Glory!"
