Express route added
VET SCHOOL
Shuttle route modified
By KIPP SHACKELFORD
Battalion Reporter
The Texas A&M intra-campus
shuttle bus system, which recently
added a new (Blue) express route,
has modified the Red and Green
routes, which have been operating
for a year.
The routes are intended to facili
tate student transportation from the
area west of Wellborn Road to the
main campus.
This semester, the University
administration established uniform
class times for both the main and
west campuses, eliminating the past
half- hour lag between classes. This
leaves the student only 10 minutes
to get horn one side to the other,
and the Blue Route was established
in an attempt to ease that rush.
The Blue route requires approxi
mately 11 minutes for a complete
run. It has only three stops, one
being west of Wellborn Road near
the Kleberg complex. The two east
stops are on Houston Street, one at
Lamar Street near the MSC, and
the other at Jones Street near the
Health Center.
For the past year, the intra
campus system has consisted of only
the Green and Red routes, which
transport students from an area near
the Commons across Wellborn
Road. However, construction work
being done on pipelines between
the agriculture buildings, west of
Wellborn Road on the south side of
Highway 60 from the Veterinary
Medicine School, has slowed the
Green route down. For this reason,
the two routes will be modified be
ginning Jan. 29, in an effort to reduce
passenger waiting time.
The two routes will be combined
into a loop route, with two buses
running the pattern. The buses will
be known as the Green route when
running in a counterclockwise di-
serving tlie finest

sandwiches, & jazz

rection from the Kleberg Center via
Rudder Tower, Krueger Hall, Zach-
ry Building, and to the Veterinary
College. In the clockwise direction
the route will be known as the Red
route and will run from the Veteri
nary College via the North Gate
Post Office, Milner Hall, Krueger
Hall, and the University Police
Department to the Kleberg Center.
It takes 22 minutes to get from
the Kleberg Center to the College
of Veterinary Medicine. From the
stop at Krueger Hall, it will take
about 10 minutes to reach either
end of the routes.
The west-bound Red route will
not serve the South shuttle bus on-
campus stop, in front of Rudder
Tower, as before, because people
who use it now are close enough to
walk to and ride the Blue route.
However, on the return the Green
route will serve parking lots 56 and
61, on the west side of Wellborn be
tween the agriculture buildings and
the new baseball stadium, and the
South on-campus stop.
Service will begin at 7:30 a.m. at
the Krueger Dorm stop, with one
bus going in each direction from
that point. The last bus will leave
each end, stopping at the Veterinary

faculty and staff may ride the buses
free.
The cost of running the buses is
about $400 per day or $32,000 per
semester.
In charge of planning the routes is
the University Shuttle Bus Opera
tions Committee, which is ap
pointed by the University president
and chared by E.C. Oates of the
Department of Student Affairs.
Oates said he believes that the
modifiction of the routes will be
successful. “Compared to the origi
nal Red and Green routes, this
combination route will shorten the
distance in terms of miles, as well as
time,” said Oates.
Oates feels that the Blue route
seems to be working well so far.
He said the city is planning to in
stall another traffic light at Wellborn
Road and Joe Routt Bouldvard, a
change that should reduce travel
time for the routes.
The intra-campus bus service is
running on a trial basis. In April, the
Operations Committee will make a
recommendation as to whether it
should continue in use.
“My opinion is that as long as
classes on either side of Wellborn
are scheduled with only 10 minute
breaks in between, there will have
to be some form of transport
provided,” Oates said. He said that
there will be an even greater de
mand for the bus system when the
medical college is built near the
veterinary school.
The Shuttle Bus Operations
Committee consists of six staff
members and three students. The
student body president recom
mends the names of students who
wish to work on the committee.
Oates said that students on the
committee monitor usage and de
mand of the bus system in order to
help improve the route, and try to
make sure that the service conforms
to student schedules and need.

Doctor says pain
in head reah too
United Press International
BALTIMORE — Chronic pain is one of the most perplexing medi
cal problems because it can be caused by virtually anything and a
Baltimore psychiatrist says it often either originates or ends up in a
patient’s head.
Dr. Nelson Hendler, who operates a pain and stress clinic for
chronic sufferers, believes there is more of a link between physical
and psychological maladies than many doctors are willing to recog-
“The head bone is connected to the rest of the body,” he said.
And he says many people — whether they endure chronic
headaches, muscle pains or internal aches — all too often are simply
not believed by their physicans.
“Unfortunately, a lot of people are relegated to the purgatory of
psychosomatic pain,” said Hendler, an assistant professor of
psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University.
One of the maladies often unrecognized by doctors because it does
not show up in measurable form on X-rays or test results is the
headache, said Hendler.
“Headaches are the worst treated disorder in the United States,”
he said. “There’s no such thing as just a headache. There are about 60
types.”
Headaches often are triggered by physical problems that people do
not link with the pain, said Hendler. He noted, for example, that
certain types of foods — or even sexual intercourse — have been
diagnosed as sources of headaches.
Headaches and other chronic pain, such as muscle spasms, also can
often be manifestations of stress, Hendler said.
“This is the most stressful society man has ever lived in,” he said.
As with other disorders, chronic pain, whatever its form, must be
properly diagnosed to be treated, but diagnosis is not easy since the
cause of the pain can be “anything from purely physical to purely
psychological,” Hendler said.
He said finding a cause that defies physical diagnosis requires tak
ing an extensive case history of the patient.
Once the cause of chronic pain or stress is determined, the condi
tion can be dealt with, but not necessarily cured, the psychiatrist
said.
Drugs can be prescribed, he said, but harmful side effects can
develop.
