k.. I oing places The Biggest Challenge May Be Getting to Class Let ' s face it, this is a big campus. People are always on the move. But how do they get from one place to the other? What is the best people- moving method? As far as I ' m con- cerned, walking is most efficient. Little did I know that many others feel just as strongly about their own personal preference in regards to transporting themselves! Here ' s what I found out when I spoke with some of you. There are many ways to travel around campus. The common means include bike riding, walking, and running. There are also some less well known methods, such as roller blades, skate boards, and piggy-back. Chris Scotti, an LSA senior, claims, I even saw a guy riding a unicycle across the Diag! Tempers of even the gentle minded flare when faced with the subject of bikers. They careen about, faster than any student has right, striking fear in the hearts of innocent pedes- trians. A slight miscalculation on the part of a mad biker may result in a collision. I got hit by a biker once. He ran right into me! explains Kim Bird, LSA senior. Luckily, Bird re- covered without need for hospitaliza- tion. Although biking serves as a quick way to get around, few bikers learn to avoid high traffic areas. Nicole Van Dyke, LSA freshman, states that biking is the best because it ' s the fastest way to get around. Since I ' m always late, it ' s perfect for me. You just have to remember to avoid the Diag between classes. Another point of contention is the University bus service to North cam- pus. Engineering junior Tim Puckett thinks, The bus A slight miscalcula- tion on the part of a mad biker may result in a collision. service to North Campus is pretty good. I ' ve never had any trouble with it. Jules Villareal, LSA senior, has a different opin- A ion. Those bus drivers are maniacs! The option of driving your own car is one exercised by a large number of students. However, Regina Caputo, LSA senior explains, Cars are use- less on campus! Even if you avoid all the pedestrian and biking obstacles, once you get where you ' re going, there is nowhere to put your car. The possibilities are endless. You must choose which mode is best for you. But please, in making your decision, consider the effect it will have on those of us on foot.
