—The Daily Collegian Monday, Dec. 18, 1978 Beat ' Bama Blue Band members practice Sunday for the band's Sugar Bowl appearance True Pittsburgh commuter service starte• University Park Airport now•can provide full com muter service to Pittsburgh. As a result of the recently enacted Airline Deregulation Act of 1978, Trans Penn Airlines has been granted approval to fly all classes of passengers enroute from University Park to Pittsburgh. Until Nov. 14, Trans Penn was permitted to fly to Pittsburgh only those passengers with final destinations outside the state. Permanent rights to the route were owned by Penn sylvania Commuter, which flew the route on a sub contract from Allegheny Airlines. The deregulation act has allowed more airlines to compete along the same routes. Financial woes hurt Vietnam veterans Continued from page 1. . service was not voluntary they were drafted. Vietnam vets also say they are not being given the benefits other vets received before them. "Our fathers had it better coming out of World War II," Mike Kusaplos (12th-business logistics) said. "They were heroes. Today, everyone wants to sweep the Vietnam vet under the rug because it was an unpopular war." Veterans used to have their full tuition paid plus a stipend on the side. Penn State is one of the more expensive schools veterans can afford, and most seem to feel that it is also the best. The University has a Developmental Year program for those vets who feel they need some 'refresher courses before starting school again. Kusuplos also said the University would give him the "best looking diploma." The best part of the University's program, though, seems to be the Veterans Affairs Office and its director, Jack Swords.

"I'm pretty happy," Lambert said. Being able to fly commercially between University Park and Pittsburgh, Lambert said, "is still a well-kept secret." Trans Penn flies four daily round-trip flights from University Park to Pittsburgh during the week and two on weekends. Pennsylvania Commuter-Allegheny offers seven such daily flights. gotten through without Jack Swords. No matter what your problem is, Jack will help you." Veterans Al fairs provides the vets with an emergency loan when an individual•demonstrates a need. The loan can go up to $250, extends for three months and is interest free. It is beneficial when a veteran has not received his VA check on time or if he ha's had some extraordinary expense. But, Dunlap said there is still a long way to go in solving the problems Vietnam veterans have. The Vietnam Veterans Act has a provision that would set up a commission to study vets' problems. If this bill is passed, Dunlap Said, he feels it would "definitely be a good start" in solving vets' problems. Dunlap says he is sure that such a commission would find many more problems that still need to be solved. Vietnam veterans feel they have been forgotten by the federal government. They are„finding it difficult to get by financially, and feel the government is not being sympathetic. Lou Paris (9th-individual and family studies) sums up the veteran's attitude best: "It's like we are taking an elevator ride and the veterans are only getting the shaft." 1 celathing c eo.

This summer, the two airlines withdrew their respective legal challenged to each other's claim to the route and agreed to share the route. Lambert announced that Trans Penn has arranged joint fares with both Trans World Airlines and Eastern Airlines. The move, he said, has lowered the cost of flying to cities serviced by those two major airlines. He added that another joint fare agreement with United Airlines has been reached and will go into effect next March. In addition to Pittsburgh, Trans Penn flies to Baltimore and Atlantic City from University Park. —by Dan McKay JERUSALEM (UPI) A bomb planted by Arab terrorists yesterday ripped apart a bus crossing from occupied Arab territory to the Jewish sector of Jerusalem, wounding 21 people.
