Students Facing Travel Problems
By CRAIG STOCK Kaman Staff Reporter
Neither delays, nor the energy crisis, nor re-routing, nor flight cancellations stays student travelers from the completion of their trips home. Unless they're going to Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Philadelphia . . .

Council Rejects Plan to Annex Nieder Acres
Marcia Goff, Route 5, was the apparent spokesman for residents in the Nieder
A proposal to annex Nieder Acres, southwest of the intersection of 31st and Iowa streets, met strong opposition last night at a hearing by the City Commission and was defeated, 3 to 2.
“You can offer us nothing we don't already have,” she said. “I think annexation of Nieder Acres is definitely unmet.” It isn't as sufficient. We don’t need your services.”
The city commission discussed annexation of the area in 1971, when it annexed a trailer court adjacent to the Nieder Acres development.
Residents of the area said they couldn't see any reason for the city to annex.

He said he had informed Nixon of his decision to quit. In Washington, a White House aide quoted Nixon as saying the president should cooperate with Rockefeller's new projects.
Rockefeller said he had become involved in the work of the Commission on Critical Choices for Americans and the National Commission on Water Quality.
