SUAB seeks lower bus fares,
questions “cheating” ruling
If the Student University Affairs Board has its
way, students could be paying less to ride Lane
Transit District buses.
Recent fare increases and area economic
problems have apparently forced students to use
other means than riding Lane Transit District
buses to get to school. LTD now wants to offer
three monthly passes for $36 to students, faculty
and staff good for rides anywhere in the Eugene
Springfield area. Gale Graham, 1981-82 chairer,
told the 1982-83 Board.
At it's May 7 meeting, SUAB proposed that
LTD subsidize $5 of each pass while the Univer
sity kicks in an additional $4. This would amount
to an average cost of 30 cents a ride rather than
the present 50 cents.
"Lane Transit has offered this program to the
students at Lane Community College and it has
been very successful,” Graham said. "We asked
if it would be possible here and they said ‘sure.’ ”
SUAB also decided to distribute ridership
questionnaires in faculty mailboxes, at the SUAB
booth in the EMU and at the LTD bus stop across
I
from University Bookstore to help determine the
amount of support the reduced fare program
would receive.
"It would certainly be a logical move on the
part of the University to see if busing will reduce
parking problems on campus,” Graham said.
LTD used to sell more than 500 monthly
passes to students before the last rate hike, he
said. Now it sells around 300 passes.
The only thing holding up the reduced fare
program is the University administration, Graham
said.
Graham also told the new members a ques
tion has been raised whether faculty can give a
failing course grade to students guilty of
academic dishonesty. The University Assembly
recently approved a resolution allowing instruc
tors to give failing grades to all students caught
cheating on tests.
“We’re not against punishing the person for
cheating,” Graham said. “But we are aginst using
grades as a form of punishment.”
