LONDON (AP) — Another Battle
of Britain is raging but it’s not about
warplane dominance over the skies.
This fight concerns jetliner space on
the ground.
United Airlines’ bid to fly into
Heathrow, announced last month, is
expected to intensify the struggle for
landing spots at one of the world’s
busiest airports.
The competition over which air
lines can fly to Heathrow is likely to
be raised between the U.S. and Brit
ish governments, which are cur
rently reviewing their air services
agreement, the British Department
of Transport said.
When United announced Oct. 23
it had purchased most of Pan Ameri
can World Airways’ British air
routes for $400 million, the buyer
asserted Pan Am’s slot at Heathrow
was part of the deal.
But since 1977, the British gov
ernment has barred any new airline
from entering crowded Heathrow,
and might force United to fly into
Gatwick and other British airports.
American Airlines was told to go
to Gatwick when it bought Trans
World Airlines’ Chicago-Heathrow
route in a $195 million deal last year.
“We certainly don’t think they
(United) have the right to operate
out of Heathrow,” Lizann Peppard,
an American Airlines spokeswoman
in London said.
American has indicated an inter
est in buying the Pan Am routes at a
higher price than United is paying,
but Pan Am and United say their
deal is sealed.
Many international and domestic
airlines want slots at Heathrow,
which is 20 miles west of London
and served by the London subway
system. Gatwick, 27 miles south of
London, links up with the British
Rail train network.
Heathrow has more shops, restau
rants and other amenities, and of
fers far more connecting flights than
Gatwick, primarily a center for char
ter flights.

said.
“It was Richards’ campaign to lose
but Williams lost because of the cam
paigning and media coverage that
did not portray him in the best
light,” she said.
Hurley says that when analyzing
elections, it is important to make a
distinction between controlled and
uncontrolled campaigning.
Controlled campaigning is ads put
out by candidates while uncontrolled
campaigning is what the press re
ports about the candidate.
A student participating in the dis
cussion said negative ads in the gu
bernatorial campaign did not play a
main role in the outcome, whereas
negative responses by Richards and
Williams in news stories did.
Leighley also gave her obser
vations of the media’s effects on elec
tions. She said negative campaigning
always has occurred during elections
and it is a major factor in campaigns.
But Leighley said negative ads do
not always work if people already
identify with a party.
Leighley said other factors besides
negative campaigning need to be
looked at, such as party identifica
tion and if candidates are men or
women or incumbents. Different de
mographic groups also must be con
sidered.
Leighley also said images have
been portrayed by candidates in
campaign ads.
To explain the use of symbols in
commercials, Leighley cited how one
candidate in the past was shown on
TV playing checkers with toy sol
diers. The candidate then knocked
the soldiers off the board with his
arm to symbolize how he wanted to
decrease military spending.
