Both ag, city campus
student opinion sought
on proposed project
Students on both the city and
agricultural campuses will voice
their opinions next week with re
gard to the proposal by the Student
Council that an institutionally
owned bus service should operate
between the two branches of the
school.
The intercampus bus committee,
headed by Arthur Hill and Iris
Johnson, requests city campus stu
dents to fill out the questionnaire
which is to be printed in Sunday's
paper and leave it in the box in
front of the Union sometime next
week. Agricultural students will
receive similar questionnaires thru
the faculty members of their col
lege, who are assisting with the
survey.
Representative Viewpoint.
"It is the committee's desire to
gain a representative viewpoint on
the proposal from both city and
ag campus students and faculty
members," Arthur Hill, co-chairman
of the project, declared.
The proposal of the council in
volves: 1. The assessment of a set fee
on those traveling between the
two campuses for tne dus service
during the semester, in place of
the fares, amounting in some cases
preliminary reports show to $20
that are now being paid by stu
dents of the agricultural college.
2. The arrangement of class
schedules on one campus on the
quarter hours, so that students
having successive classes on alter
nate campuses will not have to dis
rupt classes by leaving early or
arriving late.
High cost of transportation has
been a source of complaint ever
since the two branches of the uni
versity have been divided. Re-
