Students planning on flying
home for the holidays may
want to purchase their ticket
sooner rather than later, as
ticket prices are increasing on
a daily basis.
According to a New York
Times article released last
week, Thanksgiving airfare is
rising nearly 6 percent weekly,
a percentage that is projected
to increase as the holidays
approach. The article also re-
ported that tickets purchased
for the most popular itiner-
ary, departing Nov. 25 and re-
turning on Nov. 29, increased
10 percent over the course of

Taylor said that finding the
location for the field was not
an easy task considering the
size of the campus but Mi-
chael Peterson, the director
of Physical Plant, said the
designated location will be
perfect for the plans.
But although the field may
look ready, it will not be able
to be used because the grass-
roots need to set in.
"We plan to have the field
finished before Christmas
break and ready for use
sometime in late March or
early April,” Peterson said.
The field will also not be
fenced-in like the regular
athletics fields. Those fields

The number of presumed
H1N1 cases reported is de-
creasing, said a St. Edward’s
University health official.
“The week of Oct. 12 there
were 23 cases while the
week of Oct. 26 there were
only six cases," said William
Pannabecker, director of
the Health and Counsel-
ing Center at St. Edwards.
“However, that does not
mean we won’t see a big
surge in cases.”
Since August, the Health
and Counseling Centerhas
identified 192 H1N1 cases,
said Pannabecker.
for several sports.
That flexibility will also
force the current basketball
court to be moved behind
in the parking lot between
Teresa Hall and the Satellite
Chiller Plant building, Tay-
lor said.
The Athletics Department
and Landscape & Architec-
ture committee are planning
to have an official grand open-
ing April 2010, assuming ev-
erything goes as planned.

St. Edward’s University is
creating a new intramural
field on the lawn in front of
Teresa Hall.
The $125,000 field, located
down the hill from the Mary
Moody Northern Theatre
and adjacent to Teresa Hall’s
sand volleyball court, will be
150 feet wide and 225 feet
long. The idea for an intra-
mural field was conceived by
the Student Affairs board
about two years ago, but was
not approved until late last
spring by the Landscape &
Architecture Committee.

nience,’’Taylor said."It will be
used longer and more often
than current athletic fields.”
Soccer, lacrosse, football
and rugby goals will be avail-
able at all times on the field,
in addition to some bench
seating which, according to
Peterson, will be placed be-
tween the current volleyball
court and the new field. Pe-
terson also spoke of another
amenity, a water fountain,
which will be located on the
north side of the field in the
general direction of East
Hall. No permanent lines
will be drawn on the field in
order to maximize flexibility
And, even though the
cases are decreasing, the
St. Edward's population
has experienced a slightly
higher percentage rate than
the nationwide average.
About 5 percent of the St.
Edward’s student body af-
fected by H1N1 is about 5
percent, said Pannabecker,
while the national rate of
students affected by HINI
is 2 percent, according to the
American College Health
Association.
Pannabecker believes
the higher percentage was
caused by the fact that more
students sought treatment
for their symptoms at the
St. Edward’s University
