Fgftfs and Study may offer
1975 South American charter
By Scott Svoboda
Students who have dreamed of - visiting
Europe or traveling to some exotic Asian port,
but thought it was like an epilog to "The
Impossible Dream" need dream no longer.
More than 500 students, staff and faculty at
UNL have traveled to other countries this year
under the auspices of the Flights and Study
Tours Office. More are planning future trips,
according to Cheryl Long, assistant director of
that office.
She noted that Flights and Study Tours
Office works with the University Extension
Division in arranging charters and study tours.
So far, all charters and study flights have
been to Europe.
"This year we had two charters in winter
and one is planned this spring," she said.
"In 1975, we plan to charter a trip to Peru
and Ecuador."
The South American trip would be
sponsored by the University Extension
Division, Latin American Studies and Flights
and Study Tours Office, she said.
Although no exact price has been set, Long
expects a savings of between 30 and 40
(over commercial fare) for the trip, a savings
offered with all study flights and tours. '
"The program saves a lot of people money,"
Long said.
"For example, the full commercial round
trip fare from Lincoln to London would run
over $800, and to compare this to the spring
University Charter Flight fare of $287,
demonstrates the savings available through the
chatter program."
Long mentioned three upcoming flight plans
a student could use.
She said the winter program will include a
2-package fare, or take credit courses through
University Extension.
"In spring things will be different," she said.

"Plans are not firm yet, but a third offering is
being formulated for a flight with a land
package without course credits.
The land package would

accommodations a discount.
Commenting on" an area travel-study
conference she attended in Minneapolis, Long
said she was impressed by how UNL's program
compared with other schools'.
"There were more schools with long-range
study programs, but none with as much variety
as our short-term study programs," she said.
Long said another purpose of tho conference
was to explore possible regional cooperation in
charter flights.
"A definite priority for this office and the
conference is to offer a two or three month
summer charter to Europe for students in
1975," she said.
She said all parties concerned were working
hard for this joint effort and things look
promising.
She said the South American trip is just one
program being looked at, while tours to Asia
also are being considered, according to the
demands for these places.
Long said the charter flights are open to all
UNL students, faculty and staff members and
their immediate families.-
"If a student's permanent address is still
with his parents," Long said, "then his parents
are eligible for the flight as long as the student
participates." '
She said registration for winter flights will
begin when the fall semester begins, but she will
place names on a mailing list for people
interested before that.
Registration for the South American trip
will be later, she added, but interested persons
can contact the Flights and Study Tours Office
in Nebraska Union 204.
