-+ !!? - . w ' .ft Transportation by Charlene Blum Squeak!!! The familiar sound of screeching brakes signifies the buses are on the job servicing the entire campus and surrounding areas. Monday through Friday, there are 13 buses which run different routes, operating daily from 7 a.m. until 6 p.m.. The routes are designated by name, color and number. I ' d rather ride the bus than take my car, because of the convenience of being dropped off right in front of my classroom, said Lori Beth Landry, who rides the bus every day. Sometimes it gets really crowded, but I get to meet a lot of people that way. LSU Director of Parking, Traffic and Transportation Gary Graham spent his first year as director analyzing the bus system. In 1983 it was reorganized in an attempt to get more service to the populous student areas. Graham said he needs to know where bus ser- vice is needed most, and he welcomes any stu- dent input. We will always try to work things out for everybody, he said. 20 Campus Life

T P o QCMAPMW POUCN lKjNO SAAWANfc NO VOOD ck DWU1 1 . NO WttHOS . mm tMii TFANK YOI by David Hawkins Raging bicyclists, incumbent walkers, painted lines on parking spaces that move, buildings that shift, clocks that speed up and rabid squirrels. These are but a few of the perils that await the new student at LSU. These conditions were once thought to plague only freshmen, but a recent study has shown that anyone may fall aprey to them. Bicyclists may be the most deadly of these scourges, whisking along at perilous speeds, try- ing to dart in and out among walking students. But then there are those one-way streets going in the wrong direction they require you to be born at their point of origin, because no known street will take you there. And did you ever park in a space next to a curb and come back later to find that the lines had inched their way to their rear of your car? Other inanimate objects that maneuver themselves are buildings. Thomas Boyd Hall and Thomas Atkinson Hall do this a lot; commo n rebuttals to these situations are, But it was Thomas somebody! Here we have a few problems in the life of a newcomer, but no easy step-by-step answers on how to overcome them. That ' s what you ' re at col- lege to learn about! Campus Life 21
