Housing Office
Gives Rides, Too
By TOMMY HOLBEIN
Battalion Staff Writer
“It may sound strange, but
whenever a campus organization
needs transportation, they usually
come to the Housing Office to get
it,” said Allan M. Madely, assist
ant Housing Office manager.
Madely said this was accomp
lished through “Operation Bus,” a
system through which the Hous
ing Office offers transportation to
clubs teams and other organiza
tions wishing to make trips.
Four Station Wagons
“At present, we have four sta
tion wagons and one 12-passenger
bus at our disposal, which are
stored in the Department of
Buildings and College Utilities,”
said Madely. “We charge eight
cents a mile for using the station
wagons and 12 cents a mile for
the buses. The Housing Office
pays all expenses for the trips out
of this charge.”
“Usually, the vehicles are used
by judging teams on their fre
quent trips to contests and their
respective departments pay the
charges on the transportation,”
said Madely. “We almost always
have at least several of them in
use and quite often all .of them
are rented at one time. For ex
ample, we have had as many as
four station wagons in Chicago
together on one trip.”
Have Traveled Far
“The longest distance one of our
vehicles has traveled, has been to
Portland, Ore., made by the Range
and Forestry Club, vdiich traveled
there between semesters in the
12-passenger bus,” said Madely.

He said that the bus has been to
Washington, D. C., on several oc
casions and at least once or twice
each year, the vehicles are used by
judging teams to go to Chicago.
Madely said the vehicles must
be driven by staff members and
can only be rented to groups con
nected with the college.
“Operation Buses” began after
World War II when the freshmen
were quartered at Bryan Air Force
Base and needed transportation to
and from classes,” said Madely.
“At this time, the college had
four 32-passenger buses, but the
need for these diminished. Even
tually, they were put to other
service in the college system and
several of them are still left and
in use today,” said Madely.
In 1948, the first 12-passenger
bus was ordered, and in 1952, two
more were specially made by a
firm in Arkansas which specializes
in turning cars into these buses,
said Madely. He said another bus
was purchased by the college in
1959.
