Travel service entertains alumni
By RGBIN SMITH Staff Reporter
The University of Kansas Flying Jayhawks will take to the air in six days to visit New York City, and then they will sail on a boat to KU's first football game of the season.
"More than 4,500 persons have traveled on 6% different trips sponsored by the Alumni Association, and 27% of program began in March 1970." B. J. Pattet, assistant director of the Alumni Association.
In the past, the Flying Jayhawks have traveled to KU football and basketball games, fown to Europe and taken cruises through the Panama Canal and Mediterranean sea and down the Nile. The Association Assn sponsoring 10 trips abroad this school year.
On the morning of the game the Flying Jayhawks will fly to Pittsburgh, where they will be given a lunchon, and stay overnight at the local Hilton.
While in New York, the Flying Jawahires will stay at the New York Hilton Hotel for three nights, attend a welcome party and see two roadwalk plays.
PERSONS DEPARTING from Kansas City International Airport will pay $499 for the package. Those departing from Wichita will pay $319.
"I think that our travel program is one of the most successful in the nation," Pattee said. "We've done a tremendous compromise between our alumni—something intangible that makes making travel easier."
According to Pattee, 50 percent of the
people who travel with the group have been on Flvine Javakhwours before.
"I don't think there is one main reason why people keep coming back," she said. "We just offer trouble-free travel with a hotel that we have something in common: KU."
Dick Wintromite, director of the Alumni
Camp, always sold our KU people just like
getting together with other KU people. All
our programs have a good deal of variety
with different courses.
"I would classify KU at the top, as far as selling out the tour programs and the variety of tours that are offered," Gannon said.
According to Sally Gamon, vice president or operations at Alumni Halloween, the flying acrobat is the largest "groups the agency handles. Alumni Holiday serves more than 40 colleges and universities."
THE ALUMNI Association uses Alumni Holiday travel agency, Chicago, to help plan and arrange the tours.
“KU seems to have a very unique situation in their following,” she said. “For some, these are the only trips they take now.”
Pattee said that the Alurani Association's hosts try to keep everyone busy, organized and satisfied.
"People who aren't satisfied, don't come back, I guess," she said.

"I thought the Alumni Association did a great job with the tour but I did have one problem—culture shock," he said.

Ambler calls for calendar change
BY HAROLD CAMPBELL
Country club week at the University of Kentucky could be cut in half if a suggestion from David A. Amble, vice chancellor for student affairs, becomes reality.

darts to clinician rcvity.
Criticizing the college, though, was just one of Amherst's suggestions discussed at a meeting of College of Liberal Arts and Sciences department heads yesterday.
He also suggested adjusting the school calendar, to allow three days for winter breaks, and six weeks for final week for finals instead of the present 13 days and scheduling finals for two hours.
"Most students have little to do during the week, and freshmen, who are already pre-employed, have very little to do." Schultz, Bob. *deep* of the College of
"I’m concerned about the length of time between the opening of residence halls and the beginning of classes—a full nine days," Amber said yesterday.
Robert Cobb, dean of the College of
Liberal Arts and Sciences, said in the meeting he believed country club week created an "anti-intellectual" atmosphere.
"A WEEK with nothing to do just before classes begin does not create an atmosphere for learning." Cobb said.
Glen Marzot, director of the department or geography and meteorology, said he did not expect to find him associated with country club week. Instead, he said, country club week was a season for him.
However, he said he would not oppose shortening the period between the opening of residence halls and enrollment.
Another of Ambier's suggestions mentioned "tightening-up" the school calendar to start the school year later and end it earlier.
For instance, his plan suggested cutting out the day between the last day of classes and finals and dropping the Monday holiday after Easter.
ANY CHANGES in the school calendar, though, eventually would have to be approved by the Board of Regents, Cobb said.
Amber said, "There are a lot of wasted days in the calendar that are not needed and are costing us and the students a lot of money."
"Anything to make enrollment better is great," he said. "It was certainly no fun sitting in the field house during enrollment days in days instead of spreading it out to three."
However, Amber suggested making fall enrollment three days instead of two. For instance, she said that "very complicated," Marotez said changing the fall enrollment to three days would make it easier for students.
Cobb said the proposal involved changing only fall enrollment because of the high temperatures students and teachers members must end during August.
