The service wilj run at hourly intervals throughout the campus area and have scheduled pick-up and drop off siteS between fi p ro. and midnight daily. It will dif fer'from the previous system of accepting individual calls, with drivers going door-to-door throughout the evening "We felt that the other system was gettinK a bit out of hand." said Sgt. Marjorie Bigelow, of Campus Security. The service became so overloaded that Campus Security was traveling almost ItH) miles every night to pick up and deliver those who called for a ride, Bigelow said. The new van will seat a total of 12 people, which Bigelow said makes more sense than picking people up one-by-one. Originally, the program was meant to provide in dividualized service for students who had to travel alone at night and were concerned about their safety. But Bigelow said she feels many people began abusing it because of its convenience. "It got to the point where many people were just calling for rides, but weren't necessarily afraid for their personal safety," she said. Campus Security will continue to escort women in emergency situations. regardless, of.the time. Bigelow added, saying that her,officers main concert! fa Still safety; : . o“ • ., ,Walking gkorts wiH also continue to be prpvided ° V by members of the Lambda Chi “Alpha fraiernity. in con-.: junction wifbdampus security. . „ •• ” • This service, offered Monday through Saturday from 5 p.m. td 8 p.m;,.is usually quite busy, said Jeff Stonel vice president of the fraternity. "We average between 6 to 8 a night and on foot that works out to be cpiite a few escorts." Stone said. Meanwhile, the ASUO is still making plans to im plement a similar shuttle service of its own. which they hope will eventually replace the one now offered by • Campus Security. "We hope to have our escort service in place by winter term," said Debra kester. ASUO state affairs coordinator. Finding a source of funding for the project is a pro blem, however, and is holding up progress. Kester said. Campus Security approves the idea of an ASUO shuttle and would eventually like to see the ASUO take responsibility for all shuttle service on campus. "We’d be delighted if the ASUO was successful and took over the whole operation," Bigelow said. "We are not in competition with the ASUO ser vice," she added. “We need all the help we can get."
