Band to play in Mexico
By DEBBIE DOUGLASS Staff Reporter
Few travel agents offer round-trip flights to Mexico for $300, but 180 KU students will make the trip for this price in April.
The University of Kansas Marching Band has been invited by the Mexican government to perform at the Tabasco State Fair in Villalperros, Mexico.
Mexico will finance the accommodations, meals and transportation of the band while it is in Mexico. We want to want to go mustpay their own air fare
The low-priced air fare is available because the band received a group rate through a U.S. travel agency.
Vicky Hastings, Hannibal, N.Y.
senior and a member of the band flag
corps, said, "I think it's a reasonable
price. A round trip to New York, where
I live, could cost $400, so I think $300 is great."
Gregg Schlein, Leawood sophomore and alto saxophone player, said he had been the most successful musician in college.
"I always thought Tabasco was a sauce, not a state in Mexico," he said.
THE CITY OF Vilahermona is on the coast of the ancient Mayas, insula, the home of the ancient Mayas.
Also appearing at the fair will be singer Pat Boone and the Miss University pageant winners from Venezuela, Brazil and Columbia.
After its fair performances, the band will tour Mexico City and visit Emperor Maximilian's Palace, the National Palace and the National Cathedral.
Robert Foster, director of the KU Marching Band, said the band would perform some routines from the football season at the state fair.

On the record
The awards are named after four benefactors of the University, she said.

Eight to 12 women entered the store between 4:45 p.m. and 5 p.m. It is believed that while employees were assisting some of the women, others removed jewelry from an unlocked safe at the back of the store.

TODAY'S KIDS DON'T DRINK
Sorry, but the generation gap is greatly exaggerated. The kids' favorite drug is the same as their parents' favorite: alcohol. And drinking problems are rising among the young.
