Students飞翔 to Chicago, San Francisco and many other American cities could save as much as 30 per cent on the cost of their round-trip coach tickets if they use SUA's travel service, Tim Watson, SUA travel committee chairman, said yesterday.
Many airlines offer a special group discount for round-trip coach tickets with very few restrictions binding their use, Watson said. However, it does take a certain number to make a group, and that's where the SUA enters the picture, he said.
A CARD WITH A student's name and the destination and date of the flight he would like to take is filed in the SUA office, and regular efforts are made to coordinate several students' destinations and dates, Watson said.
Then, Watson said, the staff would try to find at least 10 students, the lowest number eligible for the group rate to Chicago, who could take the same flight.
ALTHOUGH THE STUDENTS must fly into Chicago at the same time, Watson said, each student may return whenever he wants.
According to Hal Eden, SUA programming assistant, flying with the special group rate would cut the cost of a round-trip coach from $73.73 to $67.33, a savings of $30.
Watson said students wishing to take advantage of this service should immediately fill out a card in the SUA office. He said it was difficult to reserve spaces for groups if students waited until a week or two before they wanted to leave.
Response to SUA organized travel opportunities has been mixed. Watson said.
Patrons has been mixed, Watson said. So far this semester, he said, two trips into Kansas City to athletic events have been poorly received. But he said he thought the team's performance cooled reception to one.
The Kansas City Chiefs and Green Bay Packers game on Sept. 8, attracted only 25 people, he said. The bus could have held 35-50 passengers.
A trip to the Kansas City Royals plays the Oakland A's was cancelled a week before the Saturday game, he said. Since Kansas City did so poorly in Oakland, Watson said, he thought students lost their interest in seeing them last weekend.
He said he thought SUA trips for the remainder of the semester would be more
Although they haven't been any formal opinions about names and specific purposes, I should probably include them.
Manuel Moore, acting chairman of the steering committee for the new group, said that the new black student union would be a "clearinghouse for all campus activities that related to the activities of black students."

"It will act as an advocate for black students, provide possible leadership and coordinate all activities of black students," Moore said. "Black student organizations," Moore said.
Oct. 11, a charter bus will go to Worlds of Fun, in Kansas City, Mo., which is having an Oktoberfest celebration, he said. The trip will cost $12.25, which includes the cost of the bus, the amusement park admission and Oktoberfest coupon booklet worth $2, he said.

She said that the group would be trying to have more black students in campus and community.
The biggest goal of the new group, Diane Pendleton, steering committee member, said, is to unite the black students at the University.

George Fulgham, also a steering committee member, said this black student organization wouldn't be exactly like the old BSU and wouldn't have the same name.
Thanksgiving break was in the planning stages. He said it would probably center on theater attractions in the city, and include options to attend one or all of three plays and a musical scheduled to be in Chicago during that time.
Again this Christmas, he said, SUA would sponsor a ski trip to Colorado. This year facilities have been reserved in Jacksonridge, he said, and the trip will cost $125.
Watson said the Thanksgiving trip was new this year, representing a return to tradition and a sense of apprehension of ease.
HE SAID THE OLD BSU was a "reec-
problems the group merely re-treated."
The trip, which will be Jan. 3-9, 1978, will be made by bus, he said, and will include accommodations for four days and nights in condominiums four blocks from downtown Breckenridge, equipment rental and lift tents.
Right now, he said, the price of the trip is $75 for transportation only and $135 for transportation and accommodation in an acre-owned Home Store, a dormitory-like student hotel.
Also being planned is a bus trip to New

"The new black student union will act more as a watchdog organization," he said.
Watson said he'd talked with some professors who would be willing to devise a program of directed studies which would incorporate the trip.
City over Christmas break, Jan. 3-13,
1976, Watson said.
Author of BE HERE NOW, is one of the leading spiritual teachers in America today. Ram Dass will give a public lecture Friday; September 26, at 7:30 p.m. in Hoch Auditorium on the KU campus, Admission is $1.50. The Box Office will open at 6:30 p.m. If you prefer not to wait in line for tickets on Friday evening, advanced tickets may be purchased at The Plannery in the United Ministries Center at 1204 Oread, 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m., Wednesday through Friday.
Students could begin studies on theater or the arts before the trip and attend art exhibits or broadway rehearsals for credit while they were in New York City, he said. Watson said that if enough students wanted to fly, arrangements could be made, but the price of the trip would increase at least $100.
Everyone is welcome.
