With thoughts of home on hls mlnd, Mike Fuchs enters the no. 11 bus. Below: Feet are one form of transportation common to all students. Here students are walking from the bus stop. msghfi 1 Transportation poses problems Tech is located on the near southside side of Milwaukee in the heart ofthe cities' original industrial area. Transportation to and from school becomes an important part of the students' day. Many use the Milwaukee county transit system. Unfortunately though some drivers of the bus lines shun the thought of picking up students. Towards the closing of last year, problems arose, and immediately the buses were infested with undercover cops. After a few minor fines and even some arrests,'the after school bus lines were once again a bit more peaceful. Parking is a big problem at Tech. The school is surrounded on three sides by small, polluted streets. Many of those who drive to school get here much earlier than is necessary and sit in their parked cars. Unpredictable snow storms create sloppy roads and heavily congest- ed streets. As the spring draws near, more students can be seen on their bicycles or motorcycles. Some living closer may even walk to school, and transportation becomes less troublesome. Student Life 27
