In a prepared statement, Nixon said he was not i n v o l1v e d in nor aware of the Wateragte cover-up but acknowledged giving orders on at least two occasions that later helped cover-up efforts. r" Nixon warned that some present i- vestig-tions threaten to uncover sensitive national security information that isn't related to the s c a n d a 1, inchuding still . secret details of a scuttled plan to gather intelligence throsgh burglaries.

TROUBLED TRAVELERS Snags plague UAC flights By GORDON ATCHESON At the end of the summer, the Univer- pity Activities Center (UAC) will sever its relationship with Vacationers International Agency (VIA) because of the company's allegedly unethical practices. While UAC and VIA have received few complaints about their charter service in the past, the cancellation and rescheduling of numerous flights this summer have. produced an outcry from irate travelers. A DAILY investigation into several such complaints revealed, VIA's rather check- ered history, topped by a strained relation- ship with UAC, denial of landing rights in Great Britain, and one charter flight which apparently never existed. VIA processes all UAC flights, and- covers such details as contracting of planes and handling of financial matters for each flight. A $20 administrative fee is levied on all UAC-VIA air passengers, with VIA re- ceiving 60 per cent of the fees, with UAC retaining 40 per cent as pure profit. UAC-VIA'S communication problems surfaced dramatically last spring when the price per person on a flight to, Acapulco was raised $40 one day before departure. Charter contracts allow UAC-VIA to raise flight prices as much as $50 to re- duce the resulting financial loss if flights are not filled to capacity. Apparently the Acapulco plane was only booked to two-thirds capacity. NICHOLAS- VARTARIC, VIA treasurer, said UAC authorized the charter despite the low number of people going, UAC President Chris White, however, contends UAC did not realize any problems existed until a passenger complained to them about the $40 surcharge. "The decision should have been a joint one, but we were not informed," White said. Vartaric claimed VIA should have sur- charged each passenger nearly $80 and consequently the agency lost money on the flight. While acknowledging that the price in- crease was perfectly legal under the con- tract, White termed the maneuver "not ethical in my mind." LAST DECEMBER UAC was denied the right to charter any VIA-processed flights which would land in England. At that time a series of Christmas flights were sched- oled to arrive in-London. Shortly before departure, the flights had to be re-routed to Amsterdam: The British Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) denied landing privileges because a spot check of two previous flights ar- ranged by VIA (then called Students International) revealed several persons on See CANCELLED, Page 11
