'TIS THE SEASON... TO TRAVEL.

AMERICANS ARE TAKING TO THE ROADS,
RAILS AND SKIES IN DROVES.

TRIPLE "A" SAYS AN ESTIMATED FIFTY-ONE
MILLION MOTORISTS WILL TRAVEL THIS

HOLIDAY SEASON...

AND PAY AN AVERAGE OF ABOUT TWO-DOLLARS
AND TWENTY CENTS A GALLON FOR

SELF-SERVE REGULAR GAS WHEN THEY FILL
UP-- THAT'S ABOUT 40-CENTS MORE THAN
THEY

PAID A YEAR GO.

THE AIR TRANSPORT ASSOCIATION ESTIMATES
U-S BASED AIRLINES WILL CARRY

THIRTY-FIVE MILLION PASSENGERS BETWEEN
DECEMBER EIGHTEENTH AND JANUARY SECOND.

WHEN THOSE FOLKS ARRIVE AT THE
AIRPORT... THEY'LL FIND SOME NEW
SECURITY

SCREENING PROCEDURES IN PLACE...

THE TRANSPORTATION SECURITY
ADMINISTRATION SAYS SCREENERS ARE
STEPPING-UP

RANDOM PASSENGER CHECKS AND CONDUCTING
MORE THOROUGH PAT-DOWN SEARCHES.

IN ADDITION, SOME SHARP OBJECTS WILL BE
ALLOWED ON AIRPLANES INCLUDING SMALL

SCISSORS AND TOOLS.

we actually started it over
thanksgiving, we had approximately in
place to do a

lot of new training in time for the
thanksgiving holiday and we wanted to
have

these additional measures in place for
the busy holiday season. we think these

changes make an improvement in the
security system we have and we wanted
to

roll it out as soon as possible so it
would have immediate effect.

ONE GUIDELINE FROM THE T-S-A REMAINS
THE SAME - DON'T WRAP YOUR GIFTS BEFORE

YOU FLY. SCREENERS MAY NEED TO OPEN
THEM UP FOR INSPECTION AT SECURITY

CHECKPOINTS.

ACCORDING TO TRIPLE A, DESPITE
INCREASES IN TRAVEL COSTS, THE NUMBER
OF

AMERICANS EXPECTED TO TRAVEL DURING THE

ALMOST TWO PERCENT FROM LAST YEAR.

The worker was taken to the

in Charlottesville.

Dave Leitao has lost another
player.

Donte Minter is leaving the
program for personal reasons, and is
not expected to return.

This leaves the Cavaliers with
just 8 scholarship players,

Without walk-ons, the Wahoos
couldn't scrimmage.

Minter is a junior and hadn't
played yet this season.

As a Freshman he played in all 31
games for the Cavs, averaging over 5
points per game, and over 2 rebounds.

Minter even started 3 games for
Pete Gillen.

Last Season was a struggle for
Minter, playing in only 18 games due to
injuries.

At 6- 8 Minter was supposed to
provide size and bulk for U-V-A this
season.
