Hit the road Early morning on the highways one finds a steady stream of traffic on the roads converging on Ellisville. At 8:30 the traffic dwindles away and picks up again in the afternoon. All of the roads leading to Jones County Junior College are busy on school days. Back roads, major highways - all are used as students travel together in carpools, and some singly. Others come by bus. Each day 1625 student cars con- verge on the campus to search for parking places, while over 200 faculty and staff vehicles try to arrive first to find a convenient place near classrooms or offices. The buses run from the corners of the eight counties from which most of the JCJC students come, to and from Ellisville every day, carrying approximately 600 students from home to class and back again. Traveling long distances becomes a way of life, for many students who commute are determined to be in school, yet find it more economical to live at home or more convenient to live near their jobs. Sometimes carpools or commuting by bus engenders new friendships which may last a life- time. Learning to get along with others is neces- sary in the energy crunch which makes it neces- sary to save gasoline, not to mention saving money. Of course riding the buses is free. Riding the buses can be quite an experience. You may be sweltering from the heat or in danger of being blown away. On cold mornings blankets are often brought from home to keep from freezing. lt isn't all bad however - like the memory of the time you beat your opponent 540 to 20 in spades. Even though you would rather have brought the car, over 600 students ride the buses and it isn't all bad. Students may leave home an hour or more before school begins in the morning. They all find different means to spend the time . . . Listening to music is, of course, always a favorite way to pass the time, if you're lucky enough to ride with friends who enjoy the same music and the same radio station. Some students can get studying done while going back and forth to school. Often their cars are homes away from home. A look inside cars parked about campus discovers books, coats, tapes, tennis racquets, scarves, umbrellas, extra shoes, food, and other items. It may be relaxing, it may be time consuming, it may be boring, but twice a day for JCJC stu- dents who commute - it's hit the road time again!
