Price Executive Director A combination of airline and airport interests has chal- lenged with apparent success what communiry members had understood was an important compromise reached earlier by the FAA's Land Use Compatibility Study Group on the issue of setting noise impact thresholds for residential land uses. Tr questioning the presumed consensus at a meedng of .ne panel June 20, representatives of the Air Transport Associadon (ATA), the Air Freight Association (AFA), the Airports Council International-North America (ACI- NA), theNationalBusinessAircraftAssociadon (NBAA), and the Massachusetts Port Authority all joined in an effort previously led mainly by FAA alone to undo an agreement community members thought the body had reached at ameetingMarch 3 in San Diego, CA. Disputes over what actually happened in San Diego have divided the group several times over the nearly four months since that meeting. The mission of the study group is to recommend ways to encourage land-use compatibility around the nation's commercial airports. At the California session, the group had seemed to agree that there was a need for further study of a possible new approach to the controversial problem of noise impact thresholds. That approach would have involved setdng the threshold at DNL 60 dB for new residential develop- ient while leaving it at 65 dB forexisting residential uses (See the April and June NOISE Newsletters). On several occasions since the San Diego meeting, FAA representatives who provide staff assistance to the panel JULY 1994 have tried in various ways to waterdown this understand- ing. In doing so, they seemed to be acting mainly in behalf of airports and airlines; who share with FAA a concern that lowering the noise impact threshold would greatly increase liability exposure for noise damages. However, the memhers of the study group who represent airports and airlines had not made much of the issue : ��inseZves .�rio: the� Jur:e� 20 m�ating. _ � When fhey did speak out on Juril 20, the united challenge left community members isolated and outnumbered and seemed to end any hope that the �study group would advance a meaningful recominendadon on the noise threshold dilemma (the group is nearing the end of its work and is shaping final recoinmendations). ' . I Communides generally feel that any report pretending to address issues of land-use. coriipatibility must confront the threshold problem. The threshold is the measure of adverse noise impact on resideriaal living. Most commu- nities believe the threshold traditionally used is too high and thus establishes a noise impact zone that is both too small and fails adequately to reflect the actual adverse effects of noise. � I i Dorn C. McGrath, director of the George Washington University Insritute for Urban Development Research, and NOISE Execurive Director Charles F. Price were alone in trying to fend off efforts by the other members of the study group to change language in a draft outline of the panel's final report relating to the threshold issue. (Other community members of �the group - NOISE First Vice President Sharron Spence% a city council member from Grapevine, TX; Charles Scaggs, a member of the (continue on page 2J Ju1y x�s4 � � - . ��_� � Page twa , � _,�, �" s COMPATIBILITY PANEL In ather action, the stud ��" y graup reconfumed its support �Continued from fron page.) for the idea of a new federal grant pragram that would affer funds to 2ocalides for Iand-use compadbility p' Loudoun Caunry, VA Board af Supervisars; and Gearge ning around airports.

Study group members dis- cussed ather legislative orprograrnmatic strategies which In making the challenge, the majority oi the studygmup seemed to be willing far the regart to say only that the 65 dB threshold deserved further study. They resisted men- tion of a possible 6Q dB standard for new development - one of the foandations af the San Diego accord • and also taok sharp issue with Ianguage pmposed more recent�y by McGrath that would have advocated a more flexible use of the DNL metcic to reflect iocai circumstances. As the dispute wenc on, the majarity focased their oppa- sition more on the McGrath language and less an the San i}iego statemen� But the incident only confirmed grow- ing suspicians by communiry members that the stady graup has Iost its capacity to maurtain any compromise that departs from the traditional positions of the partici- pating airport and air carrier interest gmups. The San Diego "consensus", while it seemed to represent a gaod- faith effort by all participants.to move the debate abaut the noise threshold to different and higher grvund, has pmved unable to withstand pressures over dme fmm inrlividual airpart opera#ors and others who feaz the cansequences of the two-threshold idea. FAA and the airport and airline members of the study group now contend that the San Diego consensus never occurred and that cammunity members have consistently overstated what was achieved at the March session. Mounring the chaitenge to the cammunity members on June 20 were John Meenan of ATA, Steve Alterman of AFA, Betty Desrosiers of Massgart, and to a somewhat lesser extent, E. H. (Moe) Haupt of NBAA and a staff representative of ACI-NA. The wittingness of community members to endorse the study group recommendatians now depends on how ihe June 20 discussion is reflected in a redraft of the report outline which an FAA consultant is now preparing. The redxaft will be reviewed at the next meeting of the panel in early August. might be pursued to secure enactment af the provision.� The new grant program would make compadbility plan- ning funds available anly from the AIP noise setaside. The planning would have to be dane by grantee commu- nities joindy with the airport operator. The study group also heard a presentation by a represen- tative of the FAA, chief counsel's office about the extent to which FAA can give binding assurances to localities about air operadons. Enforceable agreements among �ommunities, airport aperators, and FAA are increas- ingly mendoned as potential solutions to land-use Cpm- patibiiity problems, and the panel had asked for a presen- tation by F.AA on the extent to which it could offer binding cammitments. ' = � ` � However, the presentadon dealt only with a cantroversy curnendy under way regazding expansion af Sky Harbor Airpart at Phoenix, AZ. Fhoenix and its neighboring cammanity of Tempe have asked F.AA to give the cities assurances that naise mitigation flight procedures they have agreed to as a part of a new nznway project at Sky Hazbor will never be changed. After lengthy discussion it was agreed by study group mem6ers that the Phoenix-Tempe case was not a goad model for general application because af the insistence by the Iocaliries that the flight procedures be.permanent. Instead, it was felt, binding agreements need a mecha- nism requiring consuita,tion and joint planning among alI parties in advance of any changes in procedures that rnay become necessary over dme. 199� CALIFORNIA.

The notice is only the first step in a camplicated process whereby FAA decides whether a rule change is wazranted. "This is a very important matter," says Gerald A. Silver, president of the hameowners' group, "that wiii bring real noiserelief to millians of residents living near the nation's >'� » atrports. , The pedtion for the rule change was prompted by naise fmm low- flying helicopters from Van Nuys Airport impacting the communides ofEncino, Benedict Canyon, Sherman Oaks, Studio City and Valley Villag�. T'he copters conduct sightseeing tours, real estate cara.van fly�ys to show homes to praspective customers, and other short- distance business travel. " The requesteci rule change would require that, except when necessary for takeoff ar landing, non-emergency helicopters aperated over a congested area must maintain an aititude of S00 feet abave their highest obstacle within a horizontal radius of 2,0(}0 feet; helicopters operated over non-congested areas must mazntain an altitude af 500 feet abave the surface; and those operated over water or sparsety-paputated azeas must not approach closer than 500 feet to any person, vessel, vehicle or structure.

Mendota Heights approves action lan to battle air ort p p by Bill Wagner The city of Mendota Heights has opened a new front in its ongoing battle to pressure the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) and the Federal Aviation Administra- tion (FAA) to adopt procedures that result in less aircraft noise. This time, city officials have fired off a multi-point, long-term "airport action blue- print" that was recently approved by the Mendota Heights City Council. The blueprint is designed to induce MAC and the FAA to give ground on a series of airport noise is- sues. If they do not get satisfaction, city offi- cials say that they may be forced to seek litigation. The problem in a nutshell, according to proponents of the blueprint, is that Mendota Heights incurs more than its fair share of air- port noise. "The issue for us is equity," said J. Scott Beaty, chair of the Mendota Heights Airport Relations Committee. "I think they probably prefer that aircraft take off in this direction, rather than St. Paul or Minneapo- lis, because Mendota Heights is less densely, populated. We don't really feel that we're getting equity out here." According to Beaty, the blueprint urges MAC to drop its plans to construct new run- way space at Minneapolis-St. Paul Interna- tional Airport. Mendota Heights officials claim that the runway expansion plan would only compound an already acute noise prob- lem in the city. In addition, the plan calls for MAC to help institute mandatory nighttime takeoff regu- lations by November of this year, and for the implementation of non-simultaneous takeoff procedures that Mendota Heights officials hope will lessen the amount of aircraft noise over their city. The committee would like to name a Men- dota Heights resident to MAC by sometime next year, and wants to see the conversion to quieter Stage I[I aircraft by the year 2000. This conversion is already being phased in by federal authorities, but Mendota Heights officials fear that implementation will be al- lowed to lag. The airport plan also urges the city to look into the feasibility of a legal challenge to cur- rent air-noise distribution. The Mendota Heights City Council is slated to arrive at an assessment of that option by next summer. The blueprint also seeks council approval for the installation of sound insulation in Mendota Heights schools. The aggressive action plan comes on the heels of an August 5 ruling by the Minnesota Supreme Court that reversed a lower court decision in the battle between MAC and Min- neapolis airport noise opponents. The Supreme Court upheld MAC's contention that federal law pre-empts state noise stan- dards with respect to aircraft (see related story). Some supporters of the Mendota Heights airport action plan are now soft-ped- aling support of the city suing MAC as a r� sult of the Supreme Court ruling. Aircraft noise has continued to plague com- munities surrounding the Twin Cities airport. "I don't know that (litigation) will be a top priority," said Mendota Heights City Coun- cilmember Jill Smith. "But it's always one of your tools." Smith, however, affirmed her endorse- ment of the main body of the airport action plan. "I think all the things the committee is pursuing are worthwhile," she said. Smith also urged Mendota Heights residents to write their legislators in order to spell out the city's problems regazding aircraft noise. Unlike in Mendota Heights, Beaty said, p.lanes taking off over Minneapolis make turns about a mile into the f(ight so that noise gets distributed more evenly over the populace. "They don't do that out here," he said. "They don't make turns until they get over Inver Grove Heights. And they want to take off over the Mendota Heights-Eagan Corridor whenever they can." Beaty added that MAC has not abided by an agreement made in 1992 to route non-si- multaneous takeoffs over the [-35E/I1194 cor- ridor to take some of the pressure off of Mendota Heights. "They have not been do- ing this," he said. "Three months ago, the city sent a letter to MAC and they have not responded." Bob Stassen, deputy executive director for MAC, said that the FAA has an agreement with MAC to try to keep all outbound flights within the Mendota Heights-Eagan corridor within the first 3 miles after takeoff so they don't immediately turn into residential areas. He said the FAA has comp(ied with the agreement for the most part, except for occasions when safety concerns require air- craft to be farther apart when taking off on parallel runways. "We've reached that agreement with the FAA and we assume they're doing the best they can," Stassen said. "With those excep- tions, the agreement is being honored as far as we know " Stassen said that the recent Minnesota Supreme Court ruling was not good news for communities seeking noise remedies. "It would seem to me that it would make it more difficult to sue MAC," he said.

This crassing pattern was designed to keep planes away from the residentiai areas of the city anTl out over the In- terstate 494 and Interstate 35E intersectton. To this day MAC has aot put this plan into opera- . tton. The city wrote to MAC over three months ago inquiring as to ' w.hy it has c►ot implemented the proced�e and MAC has not respdnded. The Mendota Heights/Eagan coriidor is� MAC's noise abate- ment solution. The new noise monitoririg system (ANOMS) proves this. Whenever the weather allows them to use the corrldor they will. Whenever the winds become calm enough to allow planes to take off to the southwest over the corridor they do.�This is why we get so many IIyovers d�u►g the early morn- ing, evening and night time hours. MAC has refused to imple- ment a nighttime curfew on in- coming and' outgoing aircraft. . Rather, they have asked the airlines to "voluntarily" comply with a nightHme curfew to not fly between the hours of 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. Many other airports' around the county have these curfews to Erotect their com- munities from noise pollutioa;;• during these hours.

The current takeoff pro- cedures for the Eagan/Mendota Heights corridor, which protects a specffic neighborhood com- munity south of I-494, were established in 1973. I do nnt (ufow the exact number of takeoffs and landings at the airport in 1973 but I think it would be safe to say it is at least l0 ttmes gieater now than it was ther►.

Many of the Men- dota Heights communitIes which are currently being bom- barded by aircraft noise pollu- tion had people llving there long before jet aircraft came along. MAC's defense is to tell the public that all the complaints are coming from new developments within the city. This just isn't tnle. MAC doesn't tell the publlc tlsat the number of jet aircraft has also imxeased dramaticaUy and that this has re.svlted in ma�y more hours per day that jets are ustng noth parallel runways and subse- quently repeatedly flying over Mendota Heights, Sunfish Lake and Inver Grove Helghb. • By aow all Mendota Heights residentis stiaild have received a magnet wifh the MAC noise complaint phone number on it. What I think we must do, and why I think the magnets and phone calls to MAC a;e impor- tant, is: 1. Make the call (726-9411> when airplane noise is botherIng you.

The resolution attempts to provide some background on the Federally mandated Stage III conversion schedule along with some background on the contract renegotiation talks currently underway between the State of Minnesota, the MAC, and Northwest Airlines. Once the resolution is adopted by the City Council, it would be forwarded on to the MAC, key legislators, and the appropriate State agencies working on the renegotiation process.

The City is worldng hard on tlus issue for a number of reasons important to the whole community, not only to benefit those who live in the "noise corridor" area. Some of these reasons include: �$ Preservation of Tax Base - Realtors have reported to the City that some homes in the noise corridor area �flave required abnormally long periods of time in which to sell. Also, some residents who have sold their homes in the noise corridor i ea have reported lower than expected sale prices. Assuming these lower prices are reflected in the Dakota County j Assessors records, the overall tax base of Mendota Heights could suffer. A decrease Have You in the mazket value of the homes in the noise corridor could shift a larger share of the overall tax burden onto property outside the noise corridor.

We lived near Dulles Airport in Washington, DC, for five years. We were about 8 miles from the airpo�t and loved every minute of our stay there. The planes came in very low and drifted over the houses. Sometimes, we would go out on a Sunday morning and watch them take ofF or come ln. They always stayed at a 1ow altitude and quietly (as quiet as something that large can be1) drif�ed over our neighborhood. We were sold on living near an airport: it was not only fascinating to watch the giant birds approach Dulles, but also convenient to live so close to a transportation hub. , , f �) So, we had no regrets whatsoever about buying a house in Mendota Heights near the airport- at least not until we actually moved in. We have been here since July 14th and these have been the mast nerve racking weeks we have ever experienced. The jets are obviously throttling up over the neighborhood attempting to gain altitude as quickly as possible. By the time they hit our house (about 5 miles from the airport), they already are at least at 3 times the altitude of the planes which were leaving Dulles and screaming for more speed and altitude. If the pilots tried, they probably could not get any more noise out of those engines than they do over Mendota Heights. It was so loud tonight that my wife could not tiear me talking to her from only 5 feet away. This type of noise is dangerous and unnecessary. I Would it be worthwhile to find if there are any special policies or regulations in effect around Dulles airport which reduce aircraft noise? If so, what would it take to have those policies implemented at MPS? If there are no policies, then perhaps the airline which uses the facility as a hub is to blame. United was the carrier at Dulles and they might�have set the tone for good neighbor relations. We noticed that nearly every one of the aircraft which was screaming over our house tonight was a Northwest Airlines carrier. Does Northwest have any policies concerning noise abatement? If we had known that living near MPS was going to be such an unpteasant experience, we would not have bought a house in Mendota Heights. You expect some amount of noise from the airpo�t, but the noise levels from the jets buzzing Mendota Heights are way above what is either necessary or healthy. It would be absolutely wondertul if we could turn MPS into another Dulles with the planes quietly drifiing over the neighborhood instead of throttling up for 1 � i � �� dela Chen � CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS �� • August 19, 199 TO: Airport Relations Commission Members FROM: Tom Lawell, City Administr SIIBJECT: Discuss Recent MPCA Complaint Emissions Aircraf t DISCIISSION i The City was recently contacted by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) regarding a complaint they received on July 26, 1994 from an individual who resides in the Lexington Heights Apartments complex located at 2330 Lexington Avenue. The complaint alleges that aircraft flying over the area are emitting some type of fuel or chemical which is damaging the exterior,�finish on vehicles parked outside. Mendota Heights Police were also called to the scene to investigate the incident and a copy of their incident report is attached. I� In contacting the City, the MPCA suggested the matter was one of local concern only and that we should be resporisible for investigating and resolving the complaint. If indeed aircraft are discharging corrosive by-products into the environment, clearly the matter is not of interest to Mendota Heights alone. As� a result, the attached letter was sent to the MPCA asking for their continued assistance in this matter. We are currently waiting the hear back from the MPCA and the Commission will be kept up to date on any progress. � , •MENDOTA HEIGHTS P�L1�.E.�EPARTMENT OFFENSE/INCIDENi{REPORT � PE OF OFFBNSE/TNCIDENT OFFICER O` �, Damage to Property Tillery #2228 �' LOCATION OF OFFENSE/INCIDENT GLN DATE/TIME OCCURRED 8 N 2330 Lexington � Unknown Unknown � c C-COMPWINANT Code Name Resident A $ p V-VSCTIM = o w-wiTNess C'�� 2330 LeX].rigtOri N L R-REPQRTIt70 P1tRT C I n s N ' T � CASE FILE � 942223 1ATE/TIME REPORTEA �� 7126J94 2312 „ dress Phan Make Year License State $ EST.

The iricident involves a complaint lodged by a Mendota Heights resident contending that the products of combustion being emitted by aircraft arriving and departing the Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport (MSP) are causing permanent dama.ge to the exterior finish of his automobile which is stored outside at 2330 Lexingtan Avenue. �� We at the City of Mendota Heights are greatly concerned by this report of hazardous material discharge within our,�City. If indeed the aircraft operating in and out of MSP are sul?jecting our residents to chemicals powerful enough to permanently corrode automobile paint, we could possibly be dealing with a public health concern which needs immediate attention. jl � Your recent letter indicates that this concern falls into the category of a"local matter" which would best be handled by our office. Given the broad implications of a possible finding that airport operations are causing public health problems for those residents living in close proximity to MSP, we respectfully disagree with this determination. The City has no control or enforcement authority over the Metropolitan Airports Commission. As such, we must rely on the expertise and authority of your agency in order to investigate and remedy this hazardous material incident.

Improvements ma.de during these periods would help minimize air noise disruptions at night, on weekends, and at sporadic times during weekdays. ; For these reasons, the pursuit of modified non-Simultaneous take-off procedures at MSP is a key part of our Airport Noise Plan of Action. �� i As we have discussed before, in January 1993 the MAC approved a modified aircraft departure procedure to the southeast of the airport in an attempt to minimize residential overflight during periods of low air traffic. These procedures were to be reviewed and implemented by the FAA shortly thereafter. Nothirig was ever heard further from the MAC or the FAA and the procedures� were never implemented. The Commission has previously discussed this ma.tter at length and in March, 1994 a letter was sent to MAC Executive Director Jeff Hamiel inquiring into the status of modified procedures. To date no reply has been received. II On August 16th I attended a MASAC Operations Committee meeting at which MAC staff inembers Richard Keinz and John Foggia and FAA Tower Chief Bruce Wagoner were present. During the discussion I raised the issue of the modified non-Simultaneous,I departure procedure and was informed that MAC had forwarded the procedure to the FAA for review in early 1993. Upon review of the proposal, the FAA concluded that the modified flight tracks would''� adversely impact several homes in the area and therefore the proposal would need an Environmental Impact Statement prior to implementation! �� I expressed to those present our displeasure and frustration regarding the timeline associated with implementing the modified procedures. In addition, I highlighted the fact that we have been kept completely in the dark regarding the status of the issue and that our specific written request for such an update has been ignored for over five months. In order to fully document the ordeal, I again requested a written reply from MAC describing the status of this issue. In addition, I believe a similar letter should be requested from the FAA as they appear to be the agency holding up the implementation of the procedure at this point. ��. ., ��.�L1L C�ity o� 1Viendota Heights �� March 9, 1994 Mr. Jeffrey Hamiel Metropolitan Airports Commission 6040 28th Avenue South Minneapolis, NIlJ � 55450 Dear Mr. Hamiel: I am writing to you on behalf of the Mendota Heights City Council and the Mendota Heights Airport Relations Commission. It has become increasingly evident to the citizens of Mendota Heights that aircraft departing Runway 11L frequently and unnecessary overfly areas of our City which are predominantly residential in nature. Current departure procedures clearly do.not utilize the freeway/industrial corridor to its fullest potential. �� . As you will recall, in January 1993 the N�C �,approved a modified aircraft departure procedure which would establigh distinctly different procedures for simultaneousl and non- simultaneous departures off runways 11L and 11R. Of�particular concern to Mendota Heights was the promise to route aircraft departing runway 11L during non-si.multaneous operat�ions on a heading of 118 degrees (runway heading). Based on our observations, it is evident this procedure has not been implemented at the airport. � �' I would appreciate receiving from you a update on';this issue which ia of the greatest importance to our City Council and City residents.

Everybody wants it. Trouble is, nobody wsts the government to run ik Our health is too important to put into the hands of camp l e t e s t r a n g e r s. E s p e c i a ll y c om plete governmental strangers. So let's start off small. Let's start off with universal lawn care. This way, we don't risk our necks. We just risk the edging along the driveway. Under universal lawn care, the government takes care of 100% of our lawns for five years. We'll see how they do. And what it costs. If they fail, well, it isn't exacdy a matter of life-and-death,. right? If they fail in universal health care it is, indeed, a matter of life-and-death. Mosdy death. Under universal lawn care, the president will appoint a Secretary of Lawns to his cabineG The Secretary ofLawns will perform much as the Secretary of Housing dces— hopefully without as much of the crime, corruption, drugs, deficits and iilth, of course, that we find in public housing these days. Regular routes will be established, much as with the Postal Service. Federal Lawn Service wcks will motor around to all the residences and public places in the United States. , Once a week�r more, if necessary—the U.S. Lawn Service will come to your house and cut yoar grass, trim azound the trees, plant flowers and even put in a litde vegetable garden if you like. They'll fertilize, trim trees and lilac bushes, put those litde rocks around the base of your maples, even water during � �Spells. All this will be free. . It will be the same for the rich and the poor, the yoang and the old, the frail and the hardy. Everybody loves a nice lawn. ` If bigger problems develop—a retaining wall collapses or you need to r ve �a stum�no problem. U.S. Lawn Servicerepresentatives will come to you�e and attend to you most d'ue lawn needs with the same speed and efficiency you'd expect if you went to a medical emergency room to patch up an unanticipated dab of intemal hemorrhaging. Butan infestation of inch-worms is not quite as serious as aplague. The federal structure, after all, has not demonstrated itself to be exacdy a crackerjack outfit when it comes to curing our ills and saving our money. With Universal Lawn Care, we can give them a few years to practice. If the marigolds crap out on us in mid-summer, it's no big deal. But if we crap out in mid- summer, well, that is a big deal, indeed. � We can call on ULC for annual checkups of our snapdragons and to stake our tomatos for us. ULC will manicure the estates of the Rich and Famous or pot a philodendron in the meanest tenement in the Bronx. � After five years, if it works and we the public aze satisfied with the results, we moye up an even more critical notch: � Universal Caz Care. Everyone in the United States is entided to a smooth-running automobile. It is a God-given right and a downright necessity. America runs on an internal combustion engine. The president at Uus stage will appoint soR of a Surgeon-General-Motors. Regular oil changes, new filters, tire rotation and new windshield wiperblades will be installed free of charge every few thousan� miles. If a caz poops out, federal tow trucks will come day or night to haul it away. They'll even provide a loaner. . Surely Universal Car Care will be cheaper and less complicated than, say, Universal Medical Care. After all, slapping in a new transmission is a mere bag of shells compared with, oh, replacing a lddney or quadtuple heart bypass surgery. And if it fails, the government can replace your car with a fresh one. Can't do that with your body. Not even an iuy bitty eyeball. After lawn care and car care aze provided free of charge, then we can step- ladder our way to a federalized health system that will make us all happy and in the pink. My problem is that I rather like the health care system we have now. Relying on the federal system� to improve it is rather like asking a six-year- old to clean a northern pike. He'll be eager to do it, but it's going to be ugly.

Allen has been deputy commander of the 8$th Army Reserve Command and is one of a handful of officers pramoted to that brigadier generai r�tnk this year. While serving in Vietnam during the I9bOs, Allen was decorated wich the Dis- tinguished Flying Cross, two Air Medals for Valor and the Purple Heart. Foltowing his active duty taurs, he moved to St. Paul as an NWA aviator and began his Army Reserve career. In his 26 years with the reserve, he has commanded an aviatian maintenance company, a 1,300-person ground mainte- nance battalian, and a material manage- ment center as well as served in various staff positions. Allen was a distinguished gradnate of Army ROTC at the University of Texas in El Paso, then went an active duty. �Ie pilated an�attack halicopter in combat tours in Vietnam with the lst Cavalry Division and the 9th Tnfantry Division. , "We've built the Army Reserve from a hollow force� outdated equipment to a ready-ta-d force which is an integral part of our natianal defense," he said. a star atuact�an at tne 1�rmy Keserve here is Brigadier Gen.

Approximately 30 SAS hotels in Den- mark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Ku- wait and Beijing, China will now be re- named RadissoMSAS hotels with new signage and logo identification throughout the properties. This process is expected to begin within 30 days. An additional SAS , International Hotel now under conswc- tion in Hanoi, Vietnam, is also expected to be a Radisson/SAS hotel when it opens in 1996. The agreement dramatically expands Radisson's presence in Earope while pro- viding SAS International Hotels with the strength of a global hotel industry brand. It joins SAS with Radisson's reservations and markedng systems and links the com- panies in the areas of operations and sales plus the development of future RadissoM SAS hotels in Europe and elsewhere. Juergen Bartels, president of Carlson Hospitality Group, Inc., the parent com- pany of Radisson Hotels International and Kurt Ritter, president of SAS International Hotels, stated that the agreement combines the strength and expertise of each organiza- don to create a powerful advantage in the global industry competition. Offi� of both companies said the agreement dces not involve a change of ownership or equity interests of either organiza' n.SASIntemationalHotelswill in B elgium. The agreement may be subjec to approval by various govern- mental agencies. The hotels will become part of the Radisson worldwide system including res- ervations services from the company's acclaimed "Pierre" system which offers reservations technology with a special focus on services and systems to generate busi- ness from travel agents worldwide. The agreementgives SAS Intemational Hotels an exclusive right to develop Radis- son Hotels within Europe. Company offi- cials said their goal is to add 60 hotels by the year 2000 bringing the total number of hotels under the Radisson/SAS brand to approximately 100 in Europe. `The compa- nies will also cooperate in the areas of operations, training, direct sales, promo- tions and public reladons with the goal of providing seamless service to customers seeking thecomfortof aglobal brand offer- ing consistenthigh quality hospitality serv- ices. Current and future Radisson/SAS hotels in Europe will be under the overall responsibility of the SAS Intemadonal Hotels organization. SAS Internadonal Hotels will terminate its formal coopera- tions with Swissotels and Radisson will terminate its agreement with Movenpick Hotels. "This agreement represents a landmark event in the continuing globalization of the travel industry," Bartels stated. "The key locations of SAS Internadonal Hotels plus the company's expertise and knowledge of the European market, adds important new strategic strength to theRadisson organiza- tion," The addidon of the 30 new Radisson/ SAS hotels brings the total number of hotel locations in the Cazlson Hospitality Group to 335 in 39 countries. The Carlson Travel Network recently joined with Paris-based WagonlitTravel to form Carlson Wagonlit Travel, the world's largest business travel management com- pany backed by a$10.8 billion travel net- work with more than 4, 000 travel agency locations in125 countries. Carlson Companies also includes Cazlson Mazketing Group. Its Europe sec- tion provides Eurobonus frequent flyer program for SAS Airlines.

AUGUST 18,1994 t � - KIfS H s D � In fa e o e s f orf wesf Major cosmetic surgery has been or- dered for the DC-9 fleet of Northwest Airlines as it installs �noise-reducing "hush kits" onto the engines of 40 air- planes. � The work will be done at the Atlanta maintenance base at a cost of $60 ' million. The DC-9-30s with Pratt & Whimey , engines can be modified with these kits to ', comply with anti-noise standards that ' must be in force by the end of the century. Work will start in 1995's second quar- ter. • The agreement is between NWA and United Technologies (Pratt & Whitney) and ABS Partnership. NWA has the option for as many as 90 mor;, kits. � As part of the upgrade, interior� will be completely renovated. President John Dasburg said the airline relies on the DC-9 more than perhaps any otherairline.The100-seatshort-haulplane � is the keystone to its new strategy of feed- into its hubs from regional destina- �s. � Dasburg said about half of Northwest s flight departures are DC-9 trips. John Kem, senior vice president-op- ons and Northwest's chief safety cer, said the DC-9 " is the most reliable aircraft we own a with the best maintenance reliability of any aircraft type in Northwest's system. It has an extremely well-built and sturdy airframe that has been tested by McDonnell Douglas to more than 208, 000 pressuriza- tion cycles. "The 40 hush-kitted DC-9-30s...wi11 give us years of reliable service at a very low cost," commented Mickey Foret, ex- 0 ecutive vice president and chief financial officer. "In an airline world where low fix:d capital cr�sts become more and more es- sential, Northwest's decision is highly creaave and extremely cost-effective," said Robert Wagenfeld, managing part- ner of ABS. "In addition, the pmgram offers significant relief for the noise-im- pacted communities that Northwest serves." The revitalization will add up to 15 years to the life of the planes.

It's St. Cloud State University. The school has some 400 students en- rolled in a variety of aviation programs, with actual flight inswction taking place at the S� Cloud airport's Aero Club and Wright Aero, Inc. "There are several advantages to con- tracting the flight inswction," explained Ken Raiber, who coordinates the aviation program in the university's Department of Technology. "First, it builds a good part- nership between education and industry. And, second, it is easier for us to react to changing needs." It's also an economical way for the students to pursue aviation careers. Those getting the bachelor's degree and the nec- essary flight instruction hours can expect to spend $35,000 to $40,000 at St. Cloud State. Other programs outside Minnesota will cost $84,000 to $90,000. "Yau do not need a degree w become a professional pilot," Raiber emphasizes. "You can become a professional pilot just as well without one." ' But, he noted, a bachelor's degree in aviation beuer prepazes the aspiring stu- dent for otherrelated careers, in addition to giving stronger qualifications as a profes- sional aviator. "S eventy per cent of our graduates get a job in the area they aze looking for," he estimated. He said wannabe pilots often will serve a year or two as inswctors or working for an airport before progressing on to a pilot job with a commuter airline. This can require the student to pay another $10,000 to take the commuter line's safety program. This is followed by a relatively low-paying period before the pilot can find a position in the cockpit of a major airline. Students go into the business with their eyes open, knowing it is cyclical in nature. "But if they stick with it, they will get a job," he said. Their training may lead to other fields of non-pilot work as well, such as airport management, flight dispatch work, instr�c- Continued on Page 9 A classroom in the sky is only part of the excitement for these two aviation educators at St. Cloud State University's unique bachelor's degree program.

"They are mainly non-traditional stu- den[s," said Gus King, executive vice president and d'uector of 'the St. Paul campus. "They know what work is like." National College knows what higher education is like. With the main campus based in Rapid City, S.D., the 53-yeaz- old instituaon has branches in six cities around the nation, including the S� Paul branch. This campus is located just south of the State Fairgrounds at�1380 Energy Lane. National College's unique Applied Management program transfers up to 60 credit hours from military training, vo- cational, technical and specialty insatu- tions. "In most schools, you start out as a freshman," said Academic Dean George Roedler. "Most of our students don't start out at ground-zero." "We're a career-oriented, degree- Ung college," King .stated.

King related that most of his students attend evening sessions, even though National College also offers a wide selec- tion of d�y and Saturday classes. "The majority of our students work and have families. We try to meet their needs by having classes when they can take them. We're willing to work with the students." Using standards set by the American Council on Education and others, National College recognizes the lrnowledge gained through more practical, on-the job learn- ing, transfers up to 136 credits from other colleges, and gives studen�s credits where credits aze due. National College awards both bachelor and associate degrees in Computer Infor- mation Systems, Business Administration, and applied Management; plus a diploma in Computer Information Systems, and an associate degree and diploma in Travel and Tourism.

W ' �l o e e e o ork�n A f vl g g s � � The new Bachelor of Applied Business degree at the University of Minnesota is "education you can take to work" and it's as.handy as the parking at Inver Hills Community College. That is because the new degree is of- fered cooperadvely by Continuing Educa- don and Extension at the University and at Inver Hills. It is designed especially for working adults. • The students working on this degree are likely to be people in the workplace who were uncertain about their formal educa- tion, said Victoria Mikelonis, the faculty d'uector for the program and a University professor in rhetoric. "They are people who couldn't imd a curriculum that fit their interests, that had applications for their careers," she said. In the spring class that Prof. Mikelonis taught, called Communicating for Results, she met the motivated, pragmatic students the degree was designed to serve. "They're serious, they see the immedi- ate value, they're not afraid w ask ques- tions, and they're looking for informadon they can use. The classroom isn't just a place for conveying information. It's an azena for exchanging knowledge. The students think right along with you and bring in real-� examples &om their jobs." . She said the'teacher becomes a coach, a co-learner and a guide: "They wan don and guidance, but they don't wan spoon-fed." Lead adviser for the degree is Bazb Krantz, CEE counseling department staf- fer. She said the students are interested in a university program but "they're also look- ing for the convenience of taking classes near the'u home or work." This makes the Inver Hills campus ideal for south suburbanites and airport person- nel. It is a real plus for adult and part-time students, Krantz said. ,Most students enter the program with two yeazs of college so the new degree program also represents a key opportunity for community college students to con- tinue their studies, she said. "The advising staff and instractors at Inver Hills have been very cooperative and very responsive," she continued. "Jeff Greenwood of their advising office and the faculty in the business area have puta lot of effort into preparing their students so they can go right into the Bachelor of Applied Business program," she said. The associate degree in business at Inver �Hills meets all the prerequisites for the bachelor degree program.�Stuaents also may sadsfy prerequisites at the University or other accredited schools. Core courses aze offered evenings at Inver Hills and address real-world busi- ness issues. Students bring their work experience to the class and discuss and apply them in courses such as problem- solving, small-group dynamics, leadership, and quantitative skills for decision-mak- ing. Additional courses emphasize tradi- tional business and management issues— accounting and finance, operations, hu- ictoria Mikelonis, faculty director for the Bachelor of Applied Business degree offered at the University of Minnesota and through Inver Hills Community College, says the course bf study is for people seeking direct application of knowledge for their careers. . . man resources and mazketing, for example. Courses will be taught by University fac- ulty and by approved faculty from other insdtutions, including Inver Hills, as well as some adjunct faculty from business or govemment.

The course work is focused with two- thirds of the credits in required courses. Students that come in with two years of college and have finished the prereq�isite courses can complete the B.A.B. degree in about three to four years of part-time atten- dance. Adult learners often look for student- centered services, and the B.A.B. provides the help they need.

The revised schedule has the airline building a maintnenance facility in Duluth and a reserv center in Chisholm, with substantially fewer employees than first promise In e�ge, the MAC has made a 30-year, $270-million loan to the airline. The loan was made when the airline was stivggling for financial survival. The no - ern Minnesota bases—originally perceived as an engine overhaul base in Hibbing and a Airbus ntenance base in Duluth—was to have employed up to 1,500. The revised p n calls fc� employees by the year 2001. Collateral for the loan is being changed as well, and will be subject to regular revisi n checks every two years.
