More than 5,500 University of Kansas alumni have returned to KU since 1970 as "Flying Jayhawks," a program of the KU Alumni Association which offers members economical prices on travel tours in the United States and abroad.
The upcoming trip is a "Football Holiday" from Sept. 14-18 in Las Vegas and Los Angeles and at the KU-UCLA football game.
The Flying Jahyawks program is open to all members of the alumni association who have joined in six months before any administrative assistant and administered assistant said last week.
Neuner, who is primarily in charge of the Flying Jayhawks travel program, said membership in the alumni association is not limited to graduates of KU.
ANYONE WHO HAS taken at least one class at KU is eligible for membership, in addition to friends of the University. Snores can join as associate members.
The alumni association pays only for the accommodations and travel expenses of the member of the alumni association staff, which acts as the host on the tour, she said.
Fees are $10 annually or $200 for a lifetime membership.
"The personal, one-to-one contact the host can make is invaluable because the Flying Jayhawks offer a way for alumni association members and the University to get together and strengthen their relationship by informing people on the trip what is currently happening at KU," Neuer said.

Funding denied by Commission
A request for additional funding by Children's Hour Inc., a Lawrence government-subsidized nursery, was denied by the school district at its regular meeting yesterday.
Mary Kay Palmquist, the nursery's director, asked for $6,000 toward remodeling its new building at 497 Maine St. She said the fire, health and safety improvements, estimated to cost $18,000 were needed for the nursery to be licensed by the state.
Palmquist said she would meet today with Ernest Coleman, federal funds consultant for the county, to discuss the possibility of receiving this fall the $4,000 in federal revenue-sharing funds allocated to the nursery for 1978.
TUESDAY NIGHT, the city commission gave $6,500 in community development money to the nursery; but the money will be awaived if the need of the needed 1,000 is fulfilled.
Beverly Bradley, county commissioner, said the county commission did not have the authority to close a business.
"we hope that what the city gave them last night, and their revenue-sharing funds for 1979 will be enough for they need," she said.
Dan Reeder, publication managing editor for the alumni association magazine, was the host for this year's recent tour of Scandinavia.
THE TRIP WAS August 7-18 and three-day stops in Copenhagen, Oslo, and
Palmquist said she also had considered putting a mortgage on the building.
"But we could only do this if we had the assurance that other funds were coming."
Children's Hour Inc. serves about 60 children. Until last semester the program was held in Jolliffe Hall on the KU campus, but this year it will claim the classroom space, Palmquist said.
Reeder said, "Two of the highlights were the Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen, which is the world's largest and oldest amusement park. It's a place where everything. A marinius costs $6 in Sweden."
optional side trips are offered on most of the tours. One of these excursions on the 'Scandinavian escapade' was a boat ride through the Sognefjord, the lowest deepest in the world. A pfd is a long, deep and in depth with sleep cliffs and slopes.
The Flying Jayhawks have ranged in ages from ten to the mid-raisedians and in almost every age.
NEUNER and the alumun association usually work with Alumni Holidays, a travel program.
"On the longer trips, we have more people in their mid-80s because of time and money, but our shorter vacations (such as the UCLA football game) are much more to members in their 20s and 30s," she said.
The new building was given to Children's Hour Inc. by an anonymous donor.

involvement. So there have been four to seven trips per year. Six are currently planned for
"Fairly often a trip that we offer is so popular that the number of requests mites another charter or at least partial charter," Neuer said.
This happened with the upcoming trip to the KU-UCLA football game.
THE FLYING Jayhawks filled their charter flight with 223 people, so Alumni Holidays helped book passage for 45 more on commercial flights which paralleled the race.
"The Football Holiday" trip begins with two nights in Las Vegas at Caesar's Palace. From there, the travelers fly to Los Angeles for two weeks before returning home with a football game and two optional sidetrips.

bar (now Ginny Lou's), 1009 Massachusetts St. Police were questioning Pictet about an armed robbery when he reportedly drew a knife. The pistol last was found to be empty.
Milton Allen, city attorney, said yesterday that a claim simply added the city to contempt. The judge ruled in favor.
The claim, which is not a lawsuit, was filed Tuesday by the family of Lawrence Picotee, who was shot during a struggle with three policemen March 5 in the Long Branch
Gardner trial Wednesday
Joseph Gardner, 22, who pleaded not guilty May 2 to the first degree murder of Margaret Maxey, 46, last winter, will stand trial on a lesser charge of aiding a felon, Douglas County Attorney Mike Malone said yesterday.
Malone said that the new charge was not the result of plea bargaining.
"This is what our evidence show is the prooner charge to go forward with," he said.
Maune announced at a press conference yesterday that he would soon file to replace the murder charge with the lesser charge and have a possible one-to-five year prison term.
The new charge is based on Gardner's alleged root in dispensing of Maxey's body. The change has been made to make the
in connection with Maxey's death. The guilty plea was entered after the court denied a defense motion for a change of venue. He was sentenced to from 30 years to life in prison and is now at the Kansas State Reformatory in Hutchison.
Joseph Gardner also is at the Kansas State Reformatory, serving from two to 20 yards for an unrelated aggravated battery conviction this spring.

treed say Gardner would be arraigned on the new charge either tomorrow or Monday. If Gardner pleads not guilty to the new charge, Malone said, the trial will last only a week.
"I just don't think the city would pay a million dollars." Allen said.
Should the claim be refused, Allen said, Picotte's family could law a lawsuit.
City commissioners referred the case to Allen, who said the city had six months to file a lawsuit against the developer.
"I wouldn't be surprised if it is all over by next Friday," he said.
In an investigation into the shooting, Mike Malone, Douglas County attorney, found no justification for action against police officers involved, and the case was closed.
However, Picotte's family maintains in the claim that he was "wildly and wanton."
