Arafat's departure time baffles Beirut observers
By United Press International
BEIRUT, Lebanon/The best-kep secret in the Palestine Liberation Organization is when PLO leader Yasser Arafat had leave Beirut.
PLO officials refused to comment on the timing and manner of departure of Arafat, the guerrilla organization's most valuable asset, as its fighters were being scattered throughout the Arab world to start a new and uncertain phase in PLO history.
"We can't say when he'll go," one PLO official said. "In fact, I don't even think we know."
Before the evacuation began Saturday, setting in motion a two-week trail of gun salutes and tears, word was that the PLO leadership would leave after all the fighters scheduled to depart had left.
Now most observers expect Arafat, the PLO's leader since 1969, to leave Beirut before the end of the evacuation. Most believe that for
security reasons, he will slip quietly away rather than depart in a blaze of publicity.
"If there is a great man," one banner said, "it is Arafat. History will bear witness."
Recently Arafat has been infrequently seen in public, although his image has been hung on every departing truck and held in the hands of hundreds of departing fighters.
The balding, ever-smiling leader has not seen his fighters off at the assembly point near PLO offices in Fakhani, preferring quiet meetings with them the night before their departure.
At least six of the 15-member PLO executive committee were outside Lebanon when Israeli troops crunched over its southern border
The highest-ranking PLO officials to leave so far have been Hani el Hassan, a top advisor to Arafat, and Ali bin Jaber, an internal security force, "Squand" 17.

Flocks of flying Hawks visit foreign lands
By MATT SCHOFIELD Staff Reporter
They float, they fly, they travel around the world. They are the Flying Jayhawks, a group started by the University of Kansas Alumni Association that offers trips around the world to its members.
Staff Reporter
The purpose of the Flying Jayhawks is to bring KU alumni back in touch with the University and other alumni, said Donna Neuer, assistant director of the Alumni Association. She said she had gone on six of the group tours since becoming a member of the Alumni Association.
"The trips are fun because there's the element o, all the travelers having an interest in the University of Kansas." she said.
The Alumni Association organizes
A two week boat tour of the Seven Seas, which leaves Sept. 3 from Kansas City, Mo., costs $4,125 for a couple to visit. The Seas quarters the cruise offers, she said.
about 10 trips a year for alumni, she said. Past destinations have included Europe, Mexico and the Soviet Union. The prices of the trips range from
Neuer said one worker from the Alumni Association usually accompanied each tour to organize parties for the guests.
The prices of the trips range from $1,000 to $3,500 per person, she said.
B. J. Pattie, associate director of the Alumni Association, said she had taken 11 trips with the group and thought the trips offered members a lot of freedom, making it more enjoyable than other packaged tours.
"It's kind of nice to be working in Athens," she said.
"The trips are planned," she said,

plans. People are free to do whatever they want on the trips."
Pattee said the trips had been extremely successful in generating interest in the Alumni Association, turning previously inactive alumni into some of the group's most active members.

The Flying Jayhawks started in 1969, Pattee said, when the association had an overload of requests for a trip to the Orange Bowtie to see KU play Pennsylvania State University. Because of interest in an organized trip, the Alumni Association decided to offer one to Hawaii in the spring of 1970.
o Hawaii in the original book Neuner said the first trips included
Later, the Flying Jayhawks began taking 10 or 12 trips a year instead of just three or four, dropping the number of people on each trip to about 40. They also start taking commercial flights and scheduling Inns in dayslays Inc., of Illinois, which also schedules tours for other universities.
Sponsored by the Student Assistance Center
The Alumni Association sends trip brochures to all members and many alumni who are not members, she said. The Alumni Association also makes the trips.
