BUSES. B a tcC ROLLERBLADES The tremendous increase in student population has not afforded an increase in the number of buses on campus. To avoid the seemingly overcrowded bus line, students are now riding bicycles and walking to class. Students walking between classes perceive buses to be both few and far between, but adament bus riders will wait 15 and 20 min- utes for their bus. Unfortunately, these buses are, all too often, so congested that even the students fortunate enough to occupy a seat, sit shoulder-to-shouider. In petition, many students have taken their plea to the streets, The buses are so crowded that I pre- fer to walk even when it rains. Be- sides, the exercise is great. — V c f e Flutter walking and riding bicycles. Too tired to combat the eager bus rid- ers congregated around the bus stops, students have forgone their right to ride. Looking on the bright side, the exercise was great. The campus is now undergoing construction of new commuter lots to better accommodate stu- dents. These new lots will deter parking services from selling per- mits for non existent spaces. With the new availability of parking spaces, the most stressful concern of students rests on the tension filled traffic jams on Mil- ledge Avenue. 16 TRANSPORTATION n Kahn This year it was necessary to add an- other bus to the Milledge route as well as alter the route of the Family Housing bus. It now runs through central campus.

FITN tAe FUTURE Popular sports this year were speed walking, aero- bicizing, and cycling. For those who were not able to find the exercise sys- tems to their liking, they were able to join local clubs. Two clubs were popular among students. Member- ship at Downtown Athletic club and O ' Malley ' s was high, each had well over 2,000 members. Though the gyms were crowded, the streets were just as crowded with runners, walkers, and bikers. Tanya Turner and Erica Gould ac- companied each other on a daily three mile run. Turner said she ran to get in shape and lose weight. She enhanced her exercise pro- gram by eating healthy meals.

Wilder practiced four hours a week because it made her feel good about herself. It makes me feel like I ' m doing something good for my body, she said, It gives me a more positive self-image. Some students, such as Mi- chael Oliveri, found he preferred a relaxing game of tennis to running or lifting weights. When Scott Kee- ble was asked what kind of fitness routine he had, he replied, I walk to class. Walking to class re- mained one of the most common forms of exercise on campus. 18 FITNESS Molly Turner Scoff McDonald.
