How W By ALYCE YOUMANS Staff Writer Hearings by the Civil Aeronau tics Board beginning Wednesday in Washington may in large part decide the fate of youth fare cards issued by domestic airlines. The hearings are the last step toward answering a complaint made in January 1966 by the Transcontinental (Trailways) Bus System. Those involved in the case will file exceptions, briefs and oral arguments. Then the board will consider the case and make a final decision. If the board upholds an earlier examiner's decision, the discounts will be discontinued. Thomas P. Sheehan, chief coun scI for the rates division of the Bureau of Economics of CAB, saidl that '[railways had filed con plaints against both the standby and reserved seat youth fare plans that are used by domestic air lines. CABH dismissed these com plaints. ill YOU A Gamecoo Hut, Sheehan added, the bus -ompany requested that the U. S. Court of Appeals review the Ioard's action. Trailways also appealed CABH's dlecision to permit military fur lough fares and family fares. Al though the court has allowed con tinuation of military furlough fares, the question of family fares has not been decided. "As a result of the court's deci sion in August 1967, the board in stituted an investigation to deter mine the lawfulness of both the ,tandby and reservation youth fares," Sheehan said. This January, the hearing ex aminer issued a decision, Sheehan said, finding that "both types of youth fares violated the prohibi tion against unjust discrimination rontained in the Federal Aviation Act of 1958." th Far( k Report I'he examiner concluded that ;ince the act requires equality of reatment, special fares could not e limited by age. The discounts )f one-third to one-half are given to persons from 12 to 21. Still CAl did not ban youth fare liscounts. Sheehan said the board issued an order "staying the ef rect of the examiner's decision and indertaking to review the entire proceeding." One report claimed that of the 24 airlines offering discounts, 14 rpposed the ruling and 10 either supported it or didn't comment. Ilut none of the five airlines contacted by The Gamecock com. mented. Trailways also withhelk comment, but USC students wer( not so quiet. Almost 31,000 of the 14,300 havE homes outside South Carolina Many of those contacted said they Fare? would either not be able to re turn home as often or would have to resort to slower and less expen. sive means of transportation. Kathy Sulimowicz said, "I guess I won't go home as often because the bus ride to New York is just too long." Another student, IBarbara Wert. added that al:hough she would prefer to travel by plane, she might be forced to travel by train. Ron Btates said he would travel by plane regardless of the cost. "I really don't think the buses will get much more business if youth fare plans are discontinued. The complaints are ridiculous." IRobtrt Morman of the State Bank and Trust Co., the Univer sity's travel representative, said that since the University charters plans for athletic team travel the main problem would be the one third increase in travel costs for the debate team. University representatives in various student associations would 'also be affected. qu 40 Staff Photo by Chief Photographer Chuck Keefer Youth Fare Cards -Coming Or Goiig? NIT Tickets?

Organizational meetings of sev en of the 100 short courses were held last week. Scottie B a r n e s, chairman of the committee, ex plained, "The reason for the delay is the substantial response. We ninated and have a 2.25 GPIR or better. "Character and leadership will also be taken into consideration in the final evaluation by the board," Salane said. The student who is selected for the office of president will select a vice president with the approval of the board and will serve until after the spring elections.
