Northern coeds turned to bicycles for campus transportation insisting that the exercise in bike riding had little to do with their decisions. Tree lined streets were not used by the same large number of students usually on the drag . A small car, although using more gas than a cycle, looks inviting when early fall showers hit the campus. Cycles, popular on campus for years, found easy access to parking. This cycle sports the new tag system introduced when the state's license plate manufacturer went out of business. - f gffzeil-5. -.1 1 of 4 .-4? -i,-,lb , f u 1 - , X ,- , - ,. , . A , -. .

Sflntroduction l Campus energy crunch calls out human power Even the energy crunch was seen on the Northern campus as more l ofthe commuters turned to lv smaller cars in place of those lf- gas-guzzlers. Although gas prices peaked at , near 60 cents at most local stations, Northern students found that cycles cut down on l monthly transportation costs and human power was even cheap- i er than horse power. Bicycles proliferated like weeds. As gas prices subsided many of the car pools, formed during the worst part of the energy crisis , were for the most partabandoned. l .l 3 , l .. nd -g gngni-.-g41i

Highway 60 received pri- mary coats of asphalt during the summer but. the road was not completed in time for fall classes. Tires from much of the heavy equipment used during the highway con- struction are unloaded on a siding at the Tonkawa railroad terminal. Heavy equipment prepares for the first layer of asphalt but rains soon un- did much ofthe progress. A familiar sign to North- ern's commuters is this one near the detour off the completed four-lane section of the highway from Ponca City.
