I 1 Union travel agency closes unexpectedly New U.S. commander for forces in Afghanistan 0 'U' officials: unclear whether space will be filled by fall By STEPHANIE SHENOUDA Daily StaffReporter Among the numerous chang- es the coming year will bring to the Union, the branch of the STA Travel Agency located in the basement of the Union has unexpectedly closed its doors. STA is largely involved in helping students plan trips and book flights for vacations and study abroad. Michigan Union Director Susan Pile said the closure was STA's decision and the Univer- sity had no say in the matter. "Corporate decided to close eight locations nationally, and this was one of the decisions that they felt they had to make," Pile said. "They didn't disclose their reasons for doing so, but we can only speculate that it had something to do with the productivity of the location." There are 14,000 to 15,000 retail travel agencies today compared to the 34,000 in the mid-1990s, according to Pho- CusWright, a travel research firm. Because this decision was so sudden, the University hasn't yet contemplated options for filling the space. Pile said they are unpertain at this time if they will have another com- pany renting the space in the fall. "It's unfortunate that this happened, obviously," Pile said. "But it's a corporate decision, and they are well within their rights to do that." Both the Unionlocation and STA's corporate offices could not be reached after several attempts for comment, and the University doesn't have any data on student use of the business. LSA senior Emily Schapka booked two flights to France and Germany. with STA. She said she had shopped around online to compare prices, but was satisfied with her expe- rience with the travel agency. Schapka said she believes that she saved both time and money using the agency, but that the real value came from having her own agent, espe- cially when she had to switch the dates of her flights to France. "When I realized I had a conflict with the dates of my trip, it was so much more convenient to talk to the same person," Schapka said. Last week, unknown pranksters posted a sign near the former location of STA suggesting that Chick-fil-A would fill the space. How- ever, union officials said the signs were a hoax. Marine Gen. Dunford will lead war's final strech KABUL, ' Afghanistan ,(AP) - Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford took charge of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan on Sunday as the coalition enters its final stretch of the more than 11-year- old war. The new commander faces daunting challenges, including making sure Afghan government forces are ready to take control and orchestrating the withdrawal of foreign forces during the next 23 months. Dunford, who will likely be the last commander of the U.S.-led international military coalition, succeeded Marine Gen. John Allen, who oversaw the buildup of governmental security forces and dealt with a series of setbacks - from Quransburned ataU.S.base to a spike in deadly insider attacks that killed international troops. "Today is not about change, it's about continuity," Dunford said during the handover ceremony at the coalition's headquarters in Kabul. "What's not changed is the growing capability of our Afghan partners, the Afghan- national security forces. What's not changed is our commitment. More importantly, what's not changed is the inevitability of our success." The change in command comes at a critical time for Presi- dent Barack Obama, who may use Tuesday's State of the Union address to announce a timetable for pulling out the remaining American combat forces by the end of 2014 and plans for a residu- al U.S. force post-2014. Dunford faces the challenge of overseeing the drawdown of about 100,000 - foreign troops, including 66,000 from the United States, and helping the Afghans counter insurgent groups, includ- ing the Haqqani network, that show no sign of compromise. The Haqqani network, based in Paki- stani tribal areas near the Afghan border, has ties to al-Qaida and is thought to be responsible for many attacks on U.S. and Afghan forces,.including the recent spate of so-called insider attacks. Dunford also must help Afghanistansecure its nextpresi- dential election in 2014 - the first ballot since the U.S. invasion that will not include President Hamid Karzai as a candidate. "Much work lies ahead," Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, said at the ceremony, which was attended by senior Afghan and U.S. military officials. Karzai did not attend. Relations between the United States and Pakistan have greatly improved in recent months after a series of visits to Islamabad by Allen. Allen has worked to patch up ties after they hit historic lows following a border airstrike in late 2011 that killed two dozen Pakistani soldiers. Allen took Dunford along last week to Islam- abad when he paid a farewellvisit to the chief of the Pakistani army, Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani. Allen has been nominated to lead NATO forces in Europe after being exonerated in a Pentagon investigation of questionable email exchanges with a Florida woman linked to the sex scan- dal that led CIA Director David Petraeus to resign. Allen, 59, of Warrenton, Vir- ginia, was the longest serving commander of U.S. and coali- tion troops in Afghanistan so far. Nearly two dozen generals have commanded troops from the United States and other nations in the coalition since the American invasion in late 2001 - with'six U.S. generals, including Dunford, running both commands in the past five years alone. Afghan Defense Minister Bismullah Khan Mohammadi applauded Allen's military cam- paign against the insurgents. "The efforts and the role played by Gen. Allen to apply military pressure against the Taliban and terrorists through joint special operations have led to the death and capture of many terrorists and Taliban leaders," Mohamma- di said. The operations, he added, allowed Afghan forces to expand their control'across areas heavily influenced by the Taliban. Obama said last month that the Afghans would take over this spring instead of late summer - a decision that could permit a speedier withdrawal of foreign forces from Afghanistan. Allen said he told Dunford "our victory here will never be marked by a parade or a point in time on a calendar when victory is declared. This insurgency will be defeated over time by the legit- imate and well-trained Afghan forces that are emerging today and who are taking the field in full force this spring." Allen, however, has acknowl- edged that the Afghans still have work to do to become an effective and self-sufficient fighting force. But he said a vast improvement in their abilities was behind a decision to accelerate the time- table for putting them in the lead nationwide this spring when the traditional fightingseasonbegins. Although the Afghan secu- rity forces are almost at their full strength of 352,000, persis- tent violence and insider attacks against Americans and other for- eign forces have raised concerns about whether they are ready to take on the fight bythemselves. Dunford has to deal with "nav- igating the drawdown, keeping a sense of calm before (Afghan) presidential elections" and main- taining progress against insider attacks, said Michael O'Hanlon from the Brookings Institution in Washington. "Then, of course, there's the issue of gradually working more closely with Paki- stan." Much depends on the U.S. negotiating a bilateral secu- rity agreement with the Afghan government that includes the contentious issue of immunity from Afghan prosecution for any U.S. forces that would remain in Afghanistan after 2014. ------.
