CRUISIN AROUND ON CAMPUS Before college, transportation was easy. If you didn't have your own car, your mom and dad would let you borrow their cars. But when you turned the tassel on your high school graduation cap you stepped into a two-foot- ed transportation world you nev- er imagined. Getting around on campus was harder than you thought, Student Life 29

THERE ARE MANY POSSIBILITIES Freshman and sophomore years when you lived on campus, walking to tlass waszn't that far, but who wanted to walk to class at 8:00 in the morning. The thought of it made you roll over and turn off your obnoxious alarm. On the weekends, getting to parties was difficult too. Because it was illegal to have a party in the dorms you had to travel to off-campus parties. Places like Towne Court and Papermill, where ju- niors and seniors were partying without the regulation of RA's, were difficult to get to on foot. Despite the hastles, us- ing walking as your primary transpor- tation was eventually accepted. Classes and parties really were not that far away, but when you're used to driv- ing to high school and around your ho- metown, walking required some adjust- ing. Then, as if you had forgotten the hastles, you decided to live off-campus, junior and senior vear. Some lucky stu- dents didn't have to worry about living a few miles from campus because they got cars, but for most, it was time to read the bus schedule, The Blue Bird's ran from one end of the University to the other including the outerlying apartment complexes. The bus stops ranged from the incredibly convenient to downright idiotic and irrational, When the weather was nice, walking was a great way to get some fresh air and exercise, but beware of crossing the street on campus. It took a keen eye and swift feet to cross South Col- lege Ave, Dodging motorists was a tal- ent only perfected by daily practice. It seemed drivers never remembered the basic rule of thumb that pedestrians have the right of way. If you wanted to share the streets with these cars you could bike to class. Riding a bike was a lot faster then walking and no more comfortable than squishing onto a crowded bus. So, even though vou might have thought life without a car was unthinkable, walking, riding the bus and cyeling made it possible to travel around campus. 30 Student Life
