Commuter problems to
By Lisa Noro
Is there enough gas in the
car? What’s the weather
forecast? Will there be a traffic
jam this morning? All of these
questions concern a large
number of students attending
school here -- the commuters.
Approximately seventy per
cent of students on Capitol
Campus are commuters. Many
drive from as far as Gettysburg
to as close as Middletown. Yet,
they all share the same gripes.
Some gripes include the ques
tion of whether there should be
a light on Rt. 230? Why does
Fruehauf have the right of way
in the rear parking lot? Is it
necessary to pay to park each
semster? Does the University
need that income? Where is the
official car pooling board?

of the Student Affairs Commit
tee, plans to provide just that.

willing and able to improve stu
dent life, but we can’t do it
alone. We need more student
impact.”
Commuting isn’t the only pro
blem Teske is concerned with.
“We would like students to
know that we can be a source of
information and not just a place
to air complaints.”
