Bus Service This Week for Meade Heights Walking a mile is little to ask a student who is interested in an ed ucation, but during the Winter Term it will be a long, cold hike from Meade Heights to the Administra tion Building. One solution that has been offered is to hire a bus to run between the residence areas and the classroom building. This problem is not a new one, but there has been .no long-term opera tional solution. In 1967 a shuttle bus was operated between the Uni versity Apartments, which housed all female resident students, and the dining hall. The bus was run by students hired by the school. Discussion has been carried on for nearly a year in the current situa tion and an attempt will be made to start a bus service for students dur ing the week of October 12. It will cost ten cents a ride to or from Meade Heights. Students are re quested to carry correct change in order to expedite boarding the bus. Stops will be made before and after class, The Meade Heights stop is the permanent shelter at the corner of Weaver and Mars Drives. If the driver can make enough money from the students who ride the bus the first week, it will be run for a second trial week with consid eration of a permanent schedule. Interested students must ride the bus during this first week or there will not be a bus during the Winter Term, when students really need it. In the event that this experiment does not work, other suggestions will be considered. Ideas offered by stu dents have been that the University purchase a bus or hire students to run a taxi-like service. Some people feel that the stqdent funds already in the hands of the administration should be used to subsidize a bus. Many other opinions will be discussed if the present trial run fails. Students are encouraged to ride the bus. Giving it a chance will save the trouble of looking for new solu tions later.

I had hoped I could get to the beach today. I’ve been trying not to get myself too down these days. Playing at the cof fee house helps me alot. I had breakfast with my cousins from Washington thank God Frank didn’t start talking about the great Spiral Agnew again. For a man with all his education he sure can be blind some times. Brodbeek and Weidner keep popping into my thoughts. I have to write an article about Meade Heights for the newspaper I think I’ll just write about what it meant to me. How beautiful it look ed in the snow, spring, and fall. How the boys tied skis on the back of a VW and skied round Meade Heights one snowy morning, how one night after a kegger 65 kids piled on a con vertible to the point where you couldn’t see the car. I remember how it looked when I took walks a round when I was crying and down, I remember how it looked when I was happy; like one Sunday morning when Mirka and I washed the car and Mirka kept blowing the duck caller. The night Dennis and I car ried two huge pots of spaghetti sauce to Bernie Abad’s for the dinner laughing the whole time because of how absurd it looked and Dennis cracking jokes all the way. I recall one night in May when I took a bi cycle ride at 2 in the morning all I could hear was the clicking of the English bike and the rustling of the r£ ee ?ir. * low dra b everything was in the Winter when it rained for weeks I used to call it Monsoon season. One night it was raining very hard, we were having one of the worst thunder storms, the electricity blew out for almost 5 hours, and I dis covered some black students be candlelight, I really got into their humor and how they acted among themselves something that white kids just didn’t have. Dennis, Mike and me and two students from Phils, really had a good time. Three hundred people a week must have passed through that door. The best party we ever had was the night after the talent show. We invited a band back who played nothing but Polish polka music. I danced the polka with Abe Spizor and everyone gathered around and clapped. It was a bit of the old country in Meade Heights. We had Mass in our house and we had war in our house but still Meade Heights remained after all to be a reminder of Past, Present, and Future.
