Students ready for Washington A-hWander 1; by.Donna Williams

Nine ICU students have a rare oppoitnnity that they are going to take advantage of. Nine stu-

.dents are going to see a part of Washington D.C. only political science students dream about.

The his€ory/political science department offers a, Flex in Washington D.C. every four years. Dr. Steven Graham, Poli- tical Science professor, has plan- ned the trip for quite some time. “Last spring I went to Washing- ton. I camped out in Andy Jacobs’ office and made phone calls. i made a preliminary list of 20-25 people and I am now Confirming those names,’’ said Graham.

On the list of 20-25 nimes, such names a s Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, CBS reporter Ph i l Jones, Senators Dan Quayle and Richard Lugar, Congressman

Airlines afford

by Rex Laing The time is nearing for the

mass riligration of college stu- dentsfromtheNorthemstates to head for one place: Florida. Whether i t Tampa, Orlando, Daytona Beach, of Ft. Lauder- dale the students come by the thousands.

“A lot of people call around Spring Break,” said All World Travel Agency travel agent Charley Mills. “College students seem to organize trips on their O w n . ”

The biggest thing on the minds of these students, besides the parties, is how they willget there a t the most economical’ price. With the recent airline price war- fare, prices can he very reason- able. The best price found for the airlines is a round trip ticket on Northern Cities Airlines for$158. The only catch is that you have to makereservations 30 days in adv- ance. If you can’t go yoh lose 25% of the ticliet price upon refund. The cheapest way to go without the 30 day reservation is on Flor- ida Express with a round trip price of$196. Themostexpensive wasafirstclassreservedflight on Eas t e rn Airlines which runs $696.

Some college students charter a bus and sell the seats on it. This transportation made ranges in cost from $75 to $150.

Once you figure out how to get toFlorida, thereis the problemof ahotel. Hotelsrange from the $25 a night place, which is lucky to have a black and white TV to the $120 a night on the beach acco- modations complete with pool and cable TV.-Mills says thqt rooms are.usually few and far between a t this time. ’

So if you are planning a trip to Floridamake sure to shop around and plan ahead to get the best bargain for pmr money.

Andy Jacobs, Washington Post columnist and ICU alumnus, Wil- liam Raspberry and embassies such as the Chinese, British and Sudan make the list.

Each student will select one person to do an in-depth report on and will brief the class on that person. Students will be graded . on the report and their journal which they will write in each day.

The students will he on campus the first week of Flex doing read- ing about the trip. On April 27 to May 14 they will be meeting with several officials and enjoying much free time to do as they please.

InWashington D.C., thegroup will be stayingat the4-H Center. They will carpool from Indianapo- lis to the Capitol Hill.

Graham sees t h e t r i p as a ‘liands onexperience in Washing-

ton with policy makers, federal government, lobbyist, party offi- cials, think tanks, staffs, journal- ists and broadcast persons.

He goes on to say one can “talk about federal government and Congress, but unless you actually visit Washindon. there are some things you can’t iearn.”

Dr. Graham is “looking for- ward to it (the’ trip): I think the 7 . . students are too.‘‘

Lisa Vanee, ICU freshman, is one of the nine students going on the trip. She said “the trip will be a good experience and a lot of fun.“ The political science mqjor says she is preparing for her trip by “buying new clothes!”

Other students eoine include: Dan Crook. Baki; Eibur, p a t % Glenn, Mike McQuillen, Julie Parrish. Kirk Smith. Michele
