Ticket, Independents Vie in Election
By DF BRIE MORGAN
Hurricane Assistant News i dtlor
One organized ticket and two independent candidates will vie for 18 open senate seats in this fall’s Undergraduate Student Body Government elections.
Junior Frank Jimenez and sophomore Jody Brown are the campaign managers for "Spirit,” the unopposed ticket for the election. The name was chosen because the group is excited about what it is doing Jimenez
said.
“We wanted something that related to the students this year," added Brown.
Although the ticket is unopposed, two positions are being challenged by independents Michael Moritz, sophomore senator, and Adam Rabinowitz, freshman senator.
“If I didn't run, no one would have to campaign," said Moritz. "I think I have just as good a chance as anybody else.
"I think the general public feels annoyed when they're bothered by members of a ticket," he said. "They're not really representing the students, they’re not doing it for the students."
Brown stressed that running with a ticket has advantages. "You form a whole platform and ideas get going,” he said. "One idea leads to another."
“Running on a ticket unites people. It forms a good channel to get information out to the people what you plan to do if elected," said Jimenez. "But we never want to discourage independents from running. If they show an interest in student government, then there will always be a place for them to get involved.
"Our country's system is run on tickets between Democrats and Republicans," said Jimenez. “This way we get more responsible voting."
Running on a ticket requires a fee to aid in campaign costs for T-shirts, fliers, posters and pamphlets.
As of now, neither the ticket's budget nor its platform has been formed.
“It should be a clean election," said Brenda Smith, advisor to the Elections Commission. “We hope that everything runs smoothly." Smith also commented that even though some seats are unopposed, students are needed to come out and vote.
The election polls will be stationed in the Student Union Breczeway and the Memorial Building Oct. 30-31. If necessary, run-offs will be Nov. 2.

Travelers suffer	airlines difficul es
By SANDRA JARAMILLO

Increased competition among airlines since the industry was deregulated in 1978 has henefitted a large number of bargain-hunting travelers.
Unfortunately, many airlines, both large and small, have literally collapsed under the weight of financial problems, forcing passengers to change airlines because of flight cancellations and/or occasionally making the validity of purchased tickets questionable
Of three randomly-picked travel agencies in Miami, none would recommend travel on some of the newer, low-fare airlines without some hesitation
"People are just very price-conscious," said Paul Bennett, leisure department manager of Ameri-Travel International "They should be wary of these carriers Quite often what happens is that people are left with a piece of paper worth nothing “
In general, if an airline declares bankruptcy, a passenger who bought a ticket with a credit card can be reimbursed Otherwise, the customer's money is lost unless he has insured the ticket, the bankrupt airline makes restitution or another airline accepts the ticket
The situation has become particularly risky for passengers holding tickets from bankrupt airlines or ones in the process of reorganization of their finances since last year, when the airlines started pulling out of a multilateral interline agreement sponsored by the American Society ol Travel Agents.
This agreement provided that it
an airline were to go bankrupt or have other problems, other airlines would accept the previously bought tickets.
Continental Airlines, who supported a move toward bilateral interlining, started the pullout when it filed for reorganization under Chapter XI of the bankruptcy laws a year ago
PeopleExpress, which has been operating for about three years but which just started operating in Miami last month, does not interline with any other company, according to Erie Bandur. a reservations sales associate for the company.
If a flight cancellation occurs for any reason, passengers are placed on the next available flight If that creates an impossible situation for a passenger, a free round-trip ticket to anywhere in the United States that the airline flies is given to the passenger, Bancur said
The airline that has been suffering problems recently, according to agents from Wizard Travel, Continental Travel and Ameri-Travel. is Arrow Air Robin Ma-tell. a spokesman for Arrow Air, vehemently denies that the airline is having financial difficulties.
Beginning Oct 1. service to several cities, including Tampa and New York, was suspended. Matell explained the move as a restructuring of scheduled operations to emphasize service to the Caribbean
"I think the travel agencies react with a knee-jerk reflex |after a similar situation with Air Florida and Braniff| The reason we're taking this step is because we have no intention of becoming a casual-
ty of fare wars and their crippling yields, and we have no intention of being victimized by extensive competition in key markets." said Matell.
Meanwhile, Roz Soltz, group manager of Continental Travel, said that the agency had received a

Bennett said that his agency had not received any type of official notification from Arrow Air concerning their flight cancellations "The whole thing was done in a
"Historians enjoy doing history, and we hope to communicate the enjoyment of history to our students through the unusual content of this course." said Stein.
Bush and Stein will employ feature films with well-known actors such as Marlon Brando and Anthony Quinn extensively, along with literature and slides Oral history, which is "an exploding new field." according to Bush, will also be used in the course and will consist of interviews with particular people. as well as information on their background
