Student section
–
They are most often associated with NCAA basketball and football games, but can be found in several sports in both college and high school. A student section is an important part of a schools fanbase, a student section can vary in size from dozens to thousands of people, and comprises current students, the schools marching band or pep band, and in some cases, recent alumni. The students often arrive and fill their designated section in the stadium before the rest of the fans, sometimes hours before the beginning of the game, and will usually remain standing throughout. Before, during, and after the game, the section performs a number of different group actions, including chants, songs, gestures, dances, some of these actions are passed down over generations, while others are completely spontaneous. The purpose is twofold, to energize the home team and crowd, student sections are well known for their role in college basketball, where the more intimate and enclosed venue allows the students to be seen and heard more clearly than in football. Several student sections have become an part of the game experience. One of the most well-known examples is Duke Universitys Cameron Crazies, one of the most notable student sections is the Orange Krush of The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, which combines school pride with altruism by giving back to the community. As of the conclusion of the 2012-2013 season, the Orange Krush Foundation has donated more than a total of 2.5 million dollars to local, state. The Ohio University O-Zone is well known for providing quite a formidable environment to most any basketball nemesis who visits the Bobcats imposing 13,000 seat Convocation Center in Athens, Ohio. The Show at San Diego State University was the first to ever use Big Heads as free throw distractions, other named student sections include the Izzone, the Oakland Zoo, and The Bench. At most schools, the student section will be on the end closer to the team bench. Football student sections are similar to those in basketball, but can be considerably larger and they are often situated in one or both endzones to allow the crowd noise to distract the opposing teams offense while in the red zone or backed up against their own endzone. Many football programs directly involve the student section as a part of the gameday experience, student sections can also be found at other school sporting events - including soccer, hockey, and baseball games - for both mens and womens teams

Harvard University
–
Although never formally affiliated with any denomination, the early College primarily trained Congregationalist and Unitarian clergy. Its curriculum and student body were gradually secularized during the 18th century, james Bryant Conant led the university through the Great Depression and World War II and began to reform the curriculum and liberalize admissions after the war. The undergraduate college became coeducational after its 1977 merger with Radcliffe College, Harvards $34.5 billion financial endowment is the largest of any academic institution. Harvard is a large, highly residential research university, the nominal cost of attendance is high, but the Universitys large endowment allows it to offer generous financial aid packages. Harvards alumni include eight U. S. presidents, several heads of state,62 living billionaires,359 Rhodes Scholars. To date, some 130 Nobel laureates,18 Fields Medalists, Harvard was formed in 1636 by vote of the Great and General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. In 1638, it obtained British North Americas first known printing press, in 1639 it was named Harvard College after deceased clergyman John Harvard an alumnus of the University of Cambridge who had left the school £779 and his scholars library of some 400 volumes. The charter creating the Harvard Corporation was granted in 1650 and it offered a classic curriculum on the English university model—many leaders in the colony had attended the University of Cambridge—but conformed to the tenets of Puritanism. It was never affiliated with any denomination, but many of its earliest graduates went on to become clergymen in Congregational. The leading Boston divine Increase Mather served as president from 1685 to 1701, in 1708, John Leverett became the first president who was not also a clergyman, which marked a turning of the college toward intellectual independence from Puritanism. When the Hollis Professor of Divinity David Tappan died in 1803 and the president of Harvard Joseph Willard died a year later, in 1804, in 1846, the natural history lectures of Louis Agassiz were acclaimed both in New York and on the campus at Harvard College. Agassizs approach was distinctly idealist and posited Americans participation in the Divine Nature, agassizs perspective on science combined observation with intuition and the assumption that a person can grasp the divine plan in all phenomena. When it came to explaining life-forms, Agassiz resorted to matters of shape based on an archetype for his evidence. Charles W. Eliot, president 1869–1909, eliminated the position of Christianity from the curriculum while opening it to student self-direction. While Eliot was the most crucial figure in the secularization of American higher education, he was motivated not by a desire to secularize education, during the 20th century, Harvards international reputation grew as a burgeoning endowment and prominent professors expanded the universitys scope. Rapid enrollment growth continued as new schools were begun and the undergraduate College expanded. Radcliffe College, established in 1879 as sister school of Harvard College, Harvard became a founding member of the Association of American Universities in 1900. In the early 20th century, the student body was predominately old-stock, high-status Protestants, especially Episcopalians, Congregationalists, by the 1970s it was much more diversified

Krzyzewskiville
–
Krzyzewskiville, or K-ville for short, is a phenomenon that occurs before major mens basketball games at Duke University. In simplest terms, it is the line for students wishing to gain access to the designated tenting games. It is often referred to as a ticket line. However, there are no student tickets, students are admitted from the line an hour, Krzyzewskiville is named for Mike Krzyzewski, often called Coach K, the much loved coach who has helped make Dukes basketball program one of the best in the nation. Showing up on Thursday for the Saturday tip-off, the fifteen friends set up four tents and they were quickly noticed by the rest of the student body, and by game time there were 75 tents in line to see Duke battle their long-standing rival UNC. The NBC news crew put them on the news. Their dedication was rewarded with an 85-72 Duke victory, and tenting in K-ville quickly became a Duke University tradition, the number of tenting games in a single season is determined by the Line Monitor Committee of the Duke Student Government. The UNC game is always a game but potentially there may be a second game where tent order determines seating. Months before the game, students begin to put up. As many as twelve people can occupy a specific tent group, as regulated by Duke Student Government, there must be a certain number of students in the tent at regular, periodic checks. From the beginning of tenting in early January for the first two weeks, tents of 12 must have 2 people in the tent during the day and 10 people each night. For the next two weeks, tents must have 1 person in the tent during the day and 6 people each night, for the final two weeks before the game, tents still must have 1 person during the day but only 2 people each night. The two weekend nights prior to the game are personal check nights, during each of the twelve tent members must be at the tent for 3 of 5 personal checks spread over the two nights. If a tent misses a tent check twice, it moved to the end of the line. If K-ville is at capacity and a waitlist exists at the time of the second miss. Tenters that lose their spot or non-tenters can, however, take their chances at the walk-up line, the walk-up line consists of couples, and one member of each couple must be in line at all times. People in the line are not guaranteed to get into the game. Tents must register with the line prior to setting up
