Some students called it crazy and worthless. Its picture was featured on freshman recruitment posters.

West Virginia University ' s Personal Rapid Transit system is the most mod- ern transit system in the world. The PRT, Phase II, was completed during the summer of 1979. Even though the system caused many problems now and then, it did a good job of trans- porting our 19,000 student body. Towers residents found transportation to be a lot easier with the opening of the Towers Station. Football games would not be so enjoyable without a little help from our cheerleaders. Our little Mountaineer always showed the crowds that Mountaineer spirit had no age limit. 851172 Our World 3
