Senate OKs continuation of rural aviation subsidies
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - The Senate approved a proposal yesterday to continue for another decade a $24 million program that subsidizes air service to rural communities in nearly three dozen states.
The proposal was endorsed on a voice vote as an amendment to legislation providing $15 billion to airports and air traffic control system.
Without the extension, the Essential Air Service Program will end next year. It was created in 1978 to prevent commercial airlines from pulling out of small communities in the wake of deregulation.
The House overwhelmingly approved a similar continuation of the program earlier this month.
Sen. J. James Exon, D-Neb.
pushed for a 10-year renewal and expansion of the program, calling air service the "lifeblood of our
medium-sized and smaller communities."
He said his measure also was designed to improve the quality of service provided under the program, encouraging more people to fly. The number of passengers on subsidized air flights has been declining since 1978, and Exon blamed the lousy service available in many towns.
To help improve service, Exon's proposal would require the use of twin-engine planes with at least a 15-passenger capacity and limit the number of stopovers a plane can make en route to a hub airport.
"If this legislation is not passed . . . service is not going to improve, service is going to continue to wind down and deteriorate," said Exon.
Sen. Nancy Kassebaum, R-Kan,
objected to the 10-year renewal, say-
ing it would expand subsidies and increase the program as much as $35 million or
$40 million a year. Exon contended his proposal would cost an additional $10-$15 million a year.
As an alternative, Kassebaum proposed a two-year renewal of the existing program, extending it to 1990, and a study on how rural aviation needs could best be met. Her proposal was defeated 57-37.
Kassebaum, the ranking Republican on the Senate Commerce Aviation Subcommittee, argued that high fares had caused the decline in air travel and questioned she questioned whether Exxon's proposal would solve that problem.
Because the program does not expire until October 1988, Kassebaum said lawmakers had time to issue more in-depth consideration.
The government spent about $24 million in subsidies last year for air service in more than 100 small towns in 35 states.

But Student Senate representatives at that meeting opposed making a bid to win the vote.
Krakow said, "We were able to get SenEx to table the issue for a couple of weeks to get more student input."
Khawar Ahmed, Jeddah, Pakistan senior, said, "I don't think two weeks is enough time for a student to find out he wants to stay in a class or not."

He said that each department that made changes was responsible for informing students about those changes in schools post those changes, he said.
"Every now and then, we will get a call from a professor saying his course was left out." The Thompson said. "We instruct us for to our class, and we will."

Joe VanZandt, coordinator of undergraduate advising for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said that he had heard of a couple of
course changes in the college
He said that when he was notified of a change, he taped up the information outside the advising center on the fourth floor of Wescoe Hall. He said his staff also relies on word of mouth and informed information about class changes.

VanZandt said that most advisors were aware of course changes. Students, to be smart, should let an older reader over their schedules, he said.
