Time after time commuters found themselves On the Road Again — by robin rosenfeld= Some of them rolled out of their beds and climbed into their cars for a ten minute drive; others had to be out of bed before the sun warmed the highway. They were the commuters and their destinations were the classrooms. Commuting students had to contend with gas, car trouble, and bad weather. Usually, if they reached campus before 9 a.m. parking was not a problem. But if they rolled in much after that, the students had better have their comfortable walking shoes ready and waiting. Students that commuted to MU lived as close as 10 minutes to as far as two hours. And to some students, the ride to and from campus was a major drawback to their college life. You lose time recalls a Strasburg sophomore, I only have one class on Tuesdays and Thursdays and most of my time is spent on the road.” Carpooling is very much accepted in Millersvllle. For some Lynnebrook residents students take turns driving. My roommate drives one week, and I drive the next. It works out great. recalls senior Kathy Wright. Car trouble is a major problem that commuters have to think about. Another concern that they have to deal with is meeting people. The Student Memorial Center is the campus home for these travelers. They can eat, watch TV, or just sit around with other commuters. According to a Tanger junior, living in the dorms is much better than commuting. I get along great with my roommate and I have met so many more people. I also have more spending money since I don't have to worry about gas.” So whether it was 60 miles, or five miles, commuters made their daily drive to earn their college degree. ■ CL A common sight to all parking lots Is the commuter sticker located on the rear bumper.
