Despite Frontier fall area prices won't rise

Although a few Lawrence air travelers were inconvenienced after Frontier Airlines halted all flights Aug. 24, local travel agents say the airline's failure probably won't affect the cost or availability of air travel.
"Obviously, anytime an airline with upwards of 17,000 passengers a day ceases operations, there's going to be problems," said John Novotny, manager of Maupintour Travel Service, 831 Massachusetts St.
But most travel agents said they thought that the loss of Frontier would not affect ticket prices.
"There is enough competition in most of the markets that Frontier served," Novotny said. "With deregulation as it exists today, there will always be room for someone to make a go at it."
But Sandy Strand, a travel consultant for Sunflower Travel Service, 704 Massachusetts St., said fares to certain cities, such as from Kansas
City Mo. to Denver, might increase.
City, Mo., to Denver, flight increase. Frontier, based in Denver, had offered a low fare from Kansas City to Denver, prompting other airlines to lower the fare, she said. Originally, the fare had been $39 one-way, but the fare increased over the last few months, she said.
Andy Strasser, vice president of Ports Unlimited Travel Service, 601 Kasol drive, said he thought any increases in fares would stem from higher fuel prices and a need for more maintenance.
Strasser said the Kansas City to Denver flight had been underpriced because of price wars. Because Frontier offered fares to some places for less money, its failure might force some travelers to pay higher prices.
In some cases, the difference in price could be as much as $100, she said.
Ruth Hughes, owner of Holiday Travel Service, 2112 W. 25th St., said travelers on Frontier had to pay for amenities offered by the airline.

'Fallen Angels' opens season
Curtain rises on theater changes
By ANDREA FULLEN Special to the Kansan
While the curtain has been rising and falling on productions for eight years at the Ottawa Municipal Auditorium, Barry Tucker sees this year's season as the beginning of a new act for the theater.
Tucker, who has been the auditorium's director for only one month, said he intended to recruit shows, lectures and concerts that would be more appealing to the KU community.
"What we want to do is become the cultural hub for Ottawa and Franklin County and become more known to the University," he said.
"In the past our advertising has been pretty limited, but now we are branching out. We're doing the same basic advertising we did in the past locally, but now we're putting a larger emphasis on KU."
However, with the auditorium's increased publicity, attendance at KU performances will not be threatened. The concert series includes Concert and Chamber Music Series.
"The more frequently people attend performing arts events and have a positive experience, the more likely they are to attend our events." Davis said
One event which could interest more people in KU performing arts is tomorrow's performance by the Basilique du Sacre-Byrne Theatre at the auditorium.

The results are far from what they expected in the Rep's production of Noel Coward's comedy, "Fallen Angels," to be performed at 8 p.m. tomorrow in the auditorium.
The performance marks the beginning of Ottawa Municipal Auditorium's 1966-87 fine arts season and is the premiere performance of the Rep's national tour of "Fallen Angels."
The play takes place in England during 1925. Although it is one of Coward's lesser known works, "Fallen Angels" represents C.S. Lewis' novel "the line humor about the art deco age," said Bob Thatch, a Rep promoter.
"Fallen Angels" was first produced by the Rep last winter.
KANU is co-sponsoring "Fallen Angels." Tucker said he hoped to see other University organizations playing a similar role.
Tickets for the Rep's Ottawa performance may be purchased at the Town Crier bookstore in Lawrence or at the auditorium's box office. They are $6 for KU students and $12 for adults.
Tucker said the proximity of the auditorium to the KU campus and the variety of performances that would be offered would attract students.
Other performances in the series will include：“Mostly Broadway,” a revue of Broadway showtunes by two
New York City opera singers on November 18; the Trio Cassatt, a string ensemble from the Saint Louis Symphony, on March 4. Mr. Jack Ward and Ms. Gayle Ward on March 20; and "Bulava," A Ukrainian Cossack Ensemble on April 27.
But the auditorium's offerings won't stop with the fine arts series, Tucker said.
"It's really a multi-purpose center. We'll be running everything from country-western to rock-n-roll, to speakers to probably a Miss Ottawa pageant," he said.
Both an equity and non-equity theater, the auditorium will present lectures, concerts, and theatrical performances by professional touring companies, community theater groups and local schoolchildren. Tucker said.
He also said the auditorium would be available for community use.
Built in 1921, the 840-seat auditorium was closed in the 1960s. Buoyed by community support, the theater was renovated and reopened in 1978.
"Some of the community movers and shakers got together to try to save it, and they got enough support to pass a city bond issue," Tucker said.
The theater receives financing from the Mid-America Arts Alliance, the Kansas Arts Commission and a local Ottawa trust fund for the humanities.
