toward peace came from other

Editor:
In response to Tuesday’s arti
cle on the “Shuttle Scuttlebutt”
I would like to answer your ques
tion “Is it really worth it now?”
If one-third of the 15 per cent
of the students using the buses
would otherwise drive cars to the
campus we are keeping 800 cars
off the parking lots. The more
buses we get the more room we
who live on campus will have
to park.
I would much rather pay the
small portion of my student serv
ice fee to the shuttle bus system
than pay eight or twelve dollars
for parking tickets simply be
cause there was no proper park
ing space.
Thus I believe the portion of
the 85 per cent not using the
buses who live on campus are
benefiting. Much of the student
services fee goes to the commit
tees of the MSC Directorate, but
no one has said anything about
abolishing the Great Issues Com
mittee, Political Forum, or the
BAG because not everyone at
tends the programs.
Putting aside the argument of
who benefits and who waste
their money there are many peo
ple, especially here at Texas
A&M, who care about helping
their fellow students and their
school. If the off-campus student
body, which comprises a tre
mendous hunk of A&M, needs a
shuttle bus system, let’s give it
to them.
If its better for the university
traffic, let’s do it. If the shuttle
bus is leading the university to
a long range traffic solution
which it supposedly is, “let’s go
ahead on.”
If help is needed why let them
cry for help for a few more years
until cars can be eliminated from
the campus; let’s get it on right
now.

We hope you will print the off-
campus students’ views of the
Senate Approves
(Continued from page 1)
approval.
Considerable dissention was
drawn from the clause in the by
laws which said student appeals
to the group could not be won in
case of a tie.
After a suggestion to take the
rule from the committee by-laws
and vote on it separately, the
Senate voiced its approval to the
by-laws. The Senate never did
reach an agreement for the de
cision of cases and failed to pass
an amendment which would have
allowed the committee chairman
to vote only in the case of ties.
As a result, the judicial com
mittee can not operate at all until
the Senate can agree on a solu
tion.
In new business, the Senate
approved a resolution calling for
studies of a day care center for
children of off-campus students.
The center is presently expected
to be in the Our Saviour Lutheran
Church.
Wade Seidel also asked the
Senate to study a resolution
authorizing money from the park
ing facilities fund to be used to
purchase a portable radar unit,
purchase more speed limit signs
and paint stripes for pedestrian
crosswalks.
In other action, the Senate ap
proved the appointment of gradu
ate student Jim Behling to the
Judicial Committee. Behling fills
a vacancy created by the resigna
tion of a previously appointed
student.
The Student Services Fee Allo
cation Committee was announced
and approved by the Senate.
Scott Steffler, Don Webb, Mark
Blakemore, John Nash, Steve
Eberhard were approved and
Virginia Ehrlich appointed chair
man. The group will make
recommendations throughout the
year on fee distribution.
new shuttle bus service. It seems
certain groups are upset with the
fact that they never use the
service, and feel that if they don’t
get their share then no one else
should either.
Well, the Biology department
bought a new scanning electron
microscope this summer, and we
may never get to use it. The
Chemistry department might de
cide that it would be best for us
not to have a class in the new
wing.
Does it make sense that no
body else should get the privi
lege of using the building? Of
course not. If Aggies of the past
were so self-seeking as those
that oppose the shuttle bus serv
ice, we would be sorely lacking
in student services.
Besides, the bus is a pollution
preventer. Most off-campus stu
dents live at least two or three
miles from an apartment or
ex-
our-
house, so if their classes happen
to fall at different hours, then
that makes two or three more
cars spewing exhaust and creat
ing (it was created when we got
here) the parking problem. More
parking tickets, more bicycles on
the walkways, more pollution,
etc., can be the only result of cut
ting back on the shuttle bus serv
ice. We were thinking of
panding the bus service
selves.

I have just had the unfortu

between the Chemistry building
and the Library.
