Fear causes canceled trips
United Press International
The threat of terrorist vengeance for the recent U.S. air attack on Libya has prompted school officials nationwide to cancel student trips overseas as well as within the United States.
States.
In New Haven, Conn., the Vale Glee Club canceled its four-week European tour because of terrorism fears, group director Fenno Heath said.
"The idea of a large, visible group of Americans being advertised all over Europe didn't appeal to me," he said.
About 65 glee club members were scheduled to leave for Norway on May 27 for a tour including stops in Germany, Germany and the Netherlands.
The cancellation decision was made last week with the concurrence of student leaders, said Heath, who is also a professor at Yale University.

But Smithsonian spokesman Al Rosenfield said that overall, few groups have scrapped scheduled trips to the popular complex of museums.
For example, of 200 trips set last week for the Air and Space Museum, only four were cancelled. Two groups called off trips scheduled at the Museum of Natural History.
Rosenfeld said those who canceled did so because of the increased fear of terrorist activity. The museum, however, has made recent efforts to

such threats for all of us. In Bettwsley, Ohio, the 14-member senior class at Bettwsley High School opted for a trip to Hawaii rather than a trip to Paris and London for spring break.
That school district, the state's smallest, has a 15-year tradition of senior-class trips to Europe, South America, Mexico and elsewhere. But, the airport shoot outs in Rome and Vienna on Dec. 27 made them change their plans.
"We're just country folks here. When the kids saw this on television, wisdom won out," Superintendent James Kelley said.
