Spring break traveling on the rise
By MARY SEXTON Staff Reporter
In two weeks, most KU students won't think twice about dropping their pencils and pens, shelving their books and taking off for parts unknown.
This departure from the normal academic conscientiousness will begin March 11 — the first day of spring break.
And this year the cold weather and improved economic conditions have prompted more students to take off for a week of diversion on beaches or ski
Travel agency officials said yesterday that more students had already booked flights for this year's spring break than had booked flights last year.
"WE'VE SEEN A large increase in travel this spring," said Ann Walter, office supervisor of Maupintour Travel Service. 900 Massachusetts St.
"We certainly expected things to slow down as things filled up for spring break," she said. "We expected just to
be handing out tickets by row. But it's just not slowing down," she said.
Walter said that the increase this year was due to the economy. But she said reduced fares had also helped the travel business.
For example, flights to Florida are selling for as little as $90 for a one-way
Maggie Liebert, a travel agent for Sunflower Travel Service, 704 Massachusetts ST, also said that the weather was more than ideal, "adds more students to travel this spring."
"People are really ready to get to warmer weather," she said.
Walter and Sharon Watts, ticket agent for Greyhound Bus Lines, 1401 W. 6th St., said that some of the most popular places for travel during spring break were Padre Island, Texas; Fort Scott skis resorts in Colorado and Mexico.
Gene Wee, program advisor for Student Union Activities, said that this year's SUA trip to Padre Island was designed to allow other company offers packaging
dems.
"Everything is pretty normal for the Padre trip, people just signed up later this year," he said.
deals.
But this is the first year that the SUA won't charter a bus to Padre Island.
The annual spring trip to Winter Park, Colo., is not doing as well as in the past, he said, and some openings are still available for the trip.
RADRE ISLAND HAS only 1,000 permanent residents, but during spring break the population swells to about 85,000 to 100,000 people, she said.
Denise Bryce of the Padre Island Chamber of Commerce, said that the spring break period was a hectic time of year.
Bruce Laster, research analyst for the Broward County Tourist Development Council in Fort Lauderdale, said that, during the peak of spring break, more than 50,000 students and tourists flooded into town.
Because different schools scheduled different times for spring breaks, the spring break rush lasts for several weeks.
Residents call for awareness of city's history
By the Kansan Staff
Lawrence residents need to learn their city's history in order to preserve its historic character, a group of Lawrence residents agreed recently at the Lawrence Public Library after a slide show about the history of Law-
An audience of about 60 Lawrence residents offered their suggestions at the show and how to improve
historical awareness in Lawrence. The group was responding to a slide presentation by Dale Nimz, a Lawrence graduate student of American Studies.
Nimz has spent about a year compiling and studying information about historic sites in Lawrence. He is studying Lawrence history as part of the requirements for a master's degree.
Nimz told the audience, "Preservation and restoration has been going on in Lawrence, but it is not organized
During a forum after the slide show, Nancy Shontz, a Lawrence city commissioner, said, "I hear an attitude that I would like to work on good and anything old should be replaced
across the citv."
Nimz's presentation showed the chronological progression of Lawrence buildings, beginning with the first Lawrence building near the now 600 block of Massachusset Street — and ending with an aerial view of Lawrence today.
