Students organize getaways
By CECILIA MILLS Staff Reporter
Finding a trip for spring break can be a hassle, but several students have found ways to make it profitable.
Carol Masterson, Baldwin senior, is earning a free vacation — and possibly one for her fiancee — by working as a promoter for a Chicago company sponsoring a trip to Dayton Beach, Fla., during spring break.
For each student booked on the trip, Masterson earns a commission. And for each 40-person bus she fills up with travelers, she earns a free trip.
Masterson said about 70 people had called about the $179 bus trip to Daytona, and 30 people had paid their bills by the deadline for paying the $179 bus.
George Fraser, New Glasgow,
Nova Scotia, Canada, special student
and Masterson's fiancee, has been
helping Masterson recruit vacation-
ers through posters and contests. The
two have organized a "Surf's Up"
party at Gammons, 9 W. 21st St.
A waterfront A, a West Coast company will help sponsor an evening of beach videos and T-shirt giveaways.
FRASER SAID HE and Masterson had been looking for part-time work
when they saw a classified ad in the Kansan for a campus representative to sell spring break trips. Masterson answered the ad.
Fraser called hotels in Florida to confirm the security of the company, and Masterson said they felt confident about the trip.
"The Better Business Bureau said it was an excellent company," she said. "The Chamber of Commerce in Chicago had they never had a complaint."
Masterson said she got into the travel business to make a profit. Other students in the business just want to travel for less.
Mike Nuffer, Lawrence freshman, and his friend, Jeff Hutchison, 2119 Quail Creek Drive, wanted to go skiing but weren't able reserve a condominium by themselves. So Nuffer and Hutchison made an agreement with Maupintour Travel Service, 900 Massachusetts St.
"WHEAT IT ALL set up before we went to Maupinport. "Nuffer said, "but we couldn't get condos. I guess backing to it would little bit of backing to get them."
The March 19-5 trip to Copper Mountain in Colorado costs $350.
Jane Hopkins, a travel agent for Maupintour, said that between 10 and 15 people had made their arrangements so far. Feb. 1 is the deadline for reservations. Unless 35 people
sign up for the trip, it will be cancelled.
“It’s the first time that I know of that a group of boys has come in,” Hopkins said. “They’re getting their work done.” A list of a lot of work and a lot of effort.
Group tours are cheap because of the discounts given on bus tickets, ski lift tickets and condominiums. Hookins said.
"We had to help put the money, but that is all returned or goes toward the WAU." Nuffer said. "Behind that and WAU, we had to come up with about $4,000.
"AS LONG AS I can go skiing it's worth it
Two other students said they had planned a ski trip to Colorado for March 9-16 because they could get cleaner rates with a group.
James Loo and Patrick Hourigan,
both Colorado Springs, Col., sophomores,
devised a package for $350 that includes everything except food.
Loo said that most of the 25 or 30 people that had signed up were in sororities or fraternites.
"We've gone around to most of the houses," Loo said. "We're not trying to make a lot of money, we'll just get cheaper prices."
The price includes discounts, and Loo said that he and Hourigan probably would get free trips if they could fill the bus with 40 people.
