The buses operate from the corner
of Lubbock and Bizzell streets from
7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
C.E. Oates, chairman ol the
Shuttle Bus Committee, said it
takes a bus about 20-30 minutes to
complete each route. Oates said a
bus comes by each stop every 12 to
13 minutes. Riders indicated these
times were generally correct.
Although times vary with the
amount of traffic, one can expect to
travel from Krueger Hall to the west
campus in about 10 minutes via the
red route. The trip takes 15 minutes
or less on the green route.
The intra-campus shuttle bus is
funded with student service fees.
Oates said the program costs ap
proximately $32,000 a semester to
operate.
A ridership survey last spring
showed an average of 1,422 riders
on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fri
days, and 1,146 riders on Tuesdays
and Thursdays. Oates said it is too
early to determine fall term usage.
The green route travels in a
counter-clockwise direction to Zac
hry, the College of Veterinary
Medicine and the west campus.
Then it goes to parking lots 56 and
61 on the west campus, the Univer
sity Center and back to Krueger
Hall.

Although the original infection
can be handled by medication, little
can be done to stop the body’s attack
on itself. Rheumatic fever contrib
utes significantly to heart disease,
says researcher David McMurray.
Apoprpximately 10,000 cases of
fatal rheumatic fever are recorded
each year, about 10 percent of the
total number of reported ca$es.
At Texas A&M, McMurray is
using the capillary system of the
small dialysis machine to study the
immune response of animals ex-

streptococcus, which pass from the
bacterial culture through the
dialysis membrane into the blood.
By isolating the blood flow,
McMurray and colleague John
Quarles hope to separte early anti
gens and antibodies from those that
occur later in the disease.
Findings may give a key as to just
when the body begins its damaging
immune response, which bacterial
products are important and what
might conceivably work to correct
the problems.
The approach is unique, McMur
ray feels, because the anti-body-
antigen relationship occurs naturally
in the animals and is not artificially
induced by chemical means, the
method in some research.
