Strategy key in bank contest
By VANESSA HERRON Staff Reporter
Five KU graduate students who advanced to the finals of a national banking content last week could week banker Isaac Manhattan Bank a run for its money.
The students are officers of a mythical institution called the Jayhawk State Bank, and they are the only finalists who are not professional bankers, Nancy Buschman, assistant professor of business, said yesterday.
THE BANKING GAME, called the

The KU team was one of the eight teams to advance to the finals.
"They're all excited about making it to the finals," Buschman said. They've been in and out of my office all along, talking about new strategies."
One of the members said he was even more excited about the possibility of winning the top prize, a trophy and a free trip to New Orleans.

students were informed approximately two weeks before the spring break trips to Padre Island, Daytona Beach and Winter Park last summer. They would pay an additional fee because of an unexpected bus fare increase.
Last summer, the officers of the Jayhawk State Bank had five-hour meetings at least twice a month—all for one hour of credit.
There were personal benefits. "You can learn everything in academic terms," he said.
THEIR STRATEGIES were then fed to a computer in the Maryland office of the Business and Management Foundation, the consulting firm that provides the machine for a week, the machine delivered a financial statement and strategy rating.
"I couldn't guess how many hours they worked for that one hour of work."
NEXT WEEK, the students will meet to plan their final strategy. Dcoursey said it probably would include an innovative 5 percent saving rate that stunned the competition in the first two rounds.
"Our strategy has improved in every round," Buchman said. "We have as a whole a good work ethic."
and buying advertising. They tried to beat the other banks in their hypothetical consumer market.
However, DeCourse said that the course was worth all the work involved.
THE TRIP to Padre Island, originally priced at $165, was increased by $17.41 or 10.6 percent; the trip to Daytona Beach, originally priced at $192, was increased by $19.86; the trip to Winter Park, originally priced at $215, was increased by $10.75 or 5 percent.
The SUA Travel Committee is negotiating with three bus companies in hope of gaining a guaranteed fare so the cost of the Christmas and spring break trips does not increase as it did last year.
However, he did not expect another price increase before Jan. 1, he said.
"The spring break trips are the ones that have a greater chance of an increase." Eden said.
Negotiations with Continental Trailways, Greyhound and Jefferson Lines, Inc., a Kansas City, Mo. based company, have reached an impasse with the Elden, SUA professionals in Idaho and an "unresolved problem."

Eden said that SUA wanted the companies to guarantee bus fares for student trips, but that all three had refused to do so.
The chance of a significant increase for the Christmas trips to Cozumel, Mexico or Breckenridge, Colo. is doubtful, he said.

The Getaway trips that SUA has scheduled for the Renaissance Festival in Bonner Springs, Kan., a Kansas City Royals baseball game, the Winfield Bluegrass Festival and the State University be affected because they are scheduled before the Sept. 1 increase, he said.
Transportation usually accounts for 20 to 30 percent of the trips' total cost, but, because of the fare increase, it accounted for 35 to 40

SUA seeks guaranteed bus fares
Students who signed up for the Padre Island or Daytona Beach trips were sent letters explaining the situation and were given the option of canceling and receiving a refund, Eden said.
Last year Continental Trailways verbally agreed to a set rate with SUA, but later backed out, he said.
SUA HAD NOTHING to back its claim because Trailways said its new rates had been filed with the State Commerce Commission, he said.
Students were not able to cancel if they had signed up for the Winter Park trip because there was a clause built into the contract stating the student was obligated to pay the 5 percent increase, he said.
