Lack of qualified^ drivers
Buses overcrowded
By MARY COX
Reporter
Students are complaining about
the crowded conditions on the shut
tle bus, but those conditions soon
will change, John Lake, Texas A&M
University manager of bus opera
tions, says.
“It takes a good two weeks to
make adjustments and changes,”
Lake said. “We have to consider the
overall picture.”
Lake said the beginning of each
school year presents new problems.
This semester the shuttle bus system
faced congested traffic conditions as
well as a lack of qualified drivers. It
was necessary to revise the shuttle
bus schedule for more efficient serv
ice, Lake said, but it still takes time.
Lake said changes were necessary
for Southwest Parkway, Munson
Avenue, Anderson Street, Lincoln
Avenue and Villa Maria Road routes
this fall.
The route changes eliminated ex
cessive costs and time consumption.
Lake said. By altering routes and
avoiding the congested traffic on
Texas Avenue and Harvey Road,
the bus operations office is trying to
ensure better safety.
Another problem the bus opera
tions office faced is the lack of qual-

Majority of Aggie students
conservative, Republican
By JERRY OSLIN
Reporter
The vast majority of students at
Texas A&M are politically conserva
tive! and show it by voting Republi
can, says Dr. Richard Stadelmann,
former election accuracy chairman
for the Republican Party in Brazos
County.
In the last 18 years the lowest ratio
of students in precinct 20 voting Re
publican has been 3 to 1 and the
highest has been about 7 to 1, Stadel
mann said.
Precinct 20 is the part of Texas
A&M bound by Texas Avenue, Uni
versity Drive, Wellborn Road and
Jersey Street but excludes the dorms
on the northwest side of campus.
The conservative votes of students
has made the difference in a number
of local elections, Stadelmann said.
According to Brazos County clerk
Frank Boriskie, off-campus students
also are largely conservative. The

Couple held for trying to sell infant for $50
United Press International
GIDDINGS — A man and a
woman were held without bond
Thursday on charges of attempting
to sell an infant for $50 in a Gid-
dings parking lot, Lee County au
thorities said.
Sheriff Joe Goodson identified
the couple as Ana Gomez, 20, and
Roberto Cortez, 23.
i Goodson said authorities were
questioning the couple through an
interpreter to determine if the baby,
which appeared to be 5 or 6 months
old, is their own or might have been
kidnapped.
Authorities were called Wednes
day night after a woman said she was
approached in the parking lot of a
Wal-Mart store by a couple who of
fered to sell the baby for $50.
Washington County authorities
arrested the couple about 30 min
utes later.
Goodson said the car they were
driving had been stolen earlier in
Austin. They also face charges of car
theft.
The baby, which appeared to be
in good health, was turned over to
the Texas Department of Human
Resources.
Goodson said the couple told offi
cers they were f rom Mexico, but had
lived and worked in Austin and
Houston.

ified drivers, Douglas Williams, as
sistant manager of bus operations,
said.
Douglas said 30 percent of the
drivers expected this fall did not re
port for work. A total of 200 em
ployees is expected after training
more drivers this week, he said.
“We have the buses, we can pro
vide the service, but not overnight,”
Williams said.
While some students have legiti
mate complaints about changes in
the shuttle bus system, Lake said he
still would match the Texas A&M
shuttle bus service against any other
college system in the United States.
have many apartment complexes are
going to have a high Republican
turnout because of the students that
live in those apartments, Boriskie
said.
“We don’t participate in any kind
of ‘blanket’ registration of students
because we know the majority of stu
dents are conservative,” Young
Democrats president Gary Young
said. But off-campus students are
not as conservative as on-campus
students, he said.
