PAGE FOUR iditotial Opinion. «• r ■ r— * Service Asked Holidays i Bus Easter j For By passing a transportation' bill,; the Undergraduate -Student Government has taken'-a concrete step toward ,•I . ‘ e providing a long-needed service to. students—cheaper, direct transportation to the largest cities in the Common wealth. 1 ! ; The sponsor of the bill has estimated that USG-spon spred buses will cut two hours fromj the travel time and $2 from the cost of commercial buses between here and Philadelphia. j Time and money savings for other parts of the state will be somewhat less, depending on the distance to be 1 traveled. Although the services proposed jis the transportation bill will greatly aid many students] USG doesn’t expect to provide it until the end Of the term. Bus companies have indicated; that many students have already inquired about transportation for the Easter holidays. This is'just one indication, that many students will be leaving campus for the religious holidays, next week. .j, - t Therefore, we suggest that USG! investigate the possi bility of providing bus service to. and from Pennsylvania’s major cities next weekend. USG President Dennis Foianihl should appoint a person to head the bus service at tonight's USG meeting, :mnd this appointee and his committee should begin work *1 once to set up this bus service. Such a limited service during the unofficial vacation would not only serve students, but would also provide student government with an excellent opportunity to test student response and evaluate the program before the mass’exodus at the end of the term. _ -• A Student-Operated Newspaper 51 Yean o} Editorial Freedom Satlg (foU*stan Successor to The Free Lance, est. 1887 Pablbhed threaten DnllrO,, mernln* Oaring thr ,nr.

I refer directly to the com pletely ' Inappropriate name lags jrhich flap so dispairingly frpm the lower edge ot the paintings now on exhibit in. the Pollock area.
