BY JEFF KEMPF

I magine, it’s Saturday morning,
the Lucky Charms are beckon
ing for milk, and, Oh no!, the
carton is empty.
A quick run to the grocery
store would solve this problem,
but wait, there is no car to get
there.
This may sound like a night
mare, but luckily those individu
als with a car do not have such
problems.
With a vehicle, a person is able
to be free and spontaneous and
get things done whenever duty
calls.
What about those who do not
share in the joy of owning a car?
Buying groceries and getting a
haircut is a hassle, and many day-
to-day activities, taken for grant
ed by the car-owning public, are
seen as distress for those who are
vehicle deficient!
The automobile has been
viewed as a life saver since its in
ception by Henry Ford in the ear
ly 1900’s.
Ford had a dream that every
American could enjoy driving
around in assembly line Model-T
cars.
Somehow, his idea of econom
ically priced cars for the average
American was lost over the years.
Surprisingly, even in the ’90s,
many college students are with
out a car.
They must rely on the physical
fitness of their two legs or the
pedal and gear machinery of a bi
cycle to reach their destination.
For some, the only feasible way
to travel to school is by bus.
Amanda Wade, a sophomore
management major, said she tried
the bus system to get to class, and
later gave it up.
“I had to get to the bus stop 10
minutes early because you never
ClRINO CU»!
knew what time the bus was com
ing,” Wade said. “I would ride the
bus, but I would get dropped off
20 miles from my nearest class.”
To some students, the Texas
A&M bus system may not be that
reliable, but it is better than walk
ing and is the only option for a
student if campus is too far from
home.
Other activities such as off-
campus volunteering, are perti
nent to college students.
Many students interested in
volunteering time and effort, find
they are limited because they are
without a car.
Nathan Smith, a sophomore
biomedical science major, said he
thought he had the no-car prob
lem solved.
“I am glad to be on campus
right now because everything is
so readily available, but the main
problem I face is trying to volun
teer,” he said. “Since, 1 don’t have
a car, 1 must volunteer on other
people's schedules.”
Classes and on-campus activi
ties may come to an end with the
close of the day; however, social
events are always happening
around the clock.
Heather Zoric, a freshman gen
eral studies major, said she hates
being so needy with her friends
and their car.
“After joining a sorority, it has
been hard to always depend on
and find a ride to Monday night
meetings,” she said. “1 find the
same two people are always dri
ving me around and trust me, 1
know they would rather be doing
something else.”
Fortunately, there are a few
remedies to the depression of not
