Getting to Manhattan: The nearest major airport is Kansas City.  If
you fly USAir, it is possible to extend your ticket with a round-trip
connection between Kansas City and Manhattan for $30 (you are advised
to get your boarding pass on the first check-in).  Otherwise, the
connection costs around $100.  Two companies (Travellers Express and
RoadRunner) offer minibus shuttle service between Kansas City
International airport (gate 51 + pickup at all the terminals) and any
place in Manhattan for around $30 each way ($50 for a round trip).

Lodging: There are several hotels to serve you.  Ramada Inn
(913-539-7531) (across the street from the university), Holiday Inn
(913-539-5311), Days Inn (913-539-5391), and the Best Western
(913-776-4711).
