              wrestling support lags students report inconsistencies with bus service by paul zimmerman student dissatisfaction with bus ser vice from main campus to the murray h goodman campus and the saucon mar . ried and graduate students smags housing results from overcrowding inconsistent departure times rudeness on the part of some of the bus drivers and student confusion concerning the purpose of the service according to sev eral student riders the use of a 14-passenger van instead of the 44-passenger bus explained jeff brotman 85 chairman of the campus life committee of forum xiv is a prim ary source of complaints brought to him about the service according to david neuschwander a graduate assistant and resident of smags there just isn't enough room especially late at night darlene archie 86 a sister of alpha gamma delta sorority said particular problems arise when sorority pledges have to travel to saucon valley for meet ings because these students are not resi dents of smags she said the bus drivers often bump them off the bus in favor of smags residents and those going to the goodman campus another sorority member reported particularly bad overcrowding when sororities throw parties on nights when the van is in use according to chris christian man ager of transportation services the forum has defined the service as intended to facilitate travel between the smags complex and the university's main campus for smags residents only because of this he said the service level is set in accordance with the needs of smags residents regardless of the amount of money provided the service should be run with smags residents receiving priority because they'll pay the bulk he said however brotman currently a resi dent of smags explained that the van fails to fill the needs of smags residents he explained five students were left behind after both the 10 p.m and the 11 p.m vans left monday night all of them were smags residents when informed of this christian indi cated that sporadic overcrowding was difficult to monitor and does not justify the expense of running the bus in place of the van if we see people being left behind happening regularly we'll run the bus he explained brotmari said that because the budget for next year has already been prepared it is too late to enact legislation in the forum for the 1984-85 school year to pro vide transportation to the valley for non smags residents he explained however that there is a definite need to look seriously into the transportation problem brotman explained that much of the problem is the result of non-smags resi dents misconception that they have a right to ride the smags bus what they fail to realize he pointed out is that the bus is funded almost entirely from smags rent and stops at the goodman campus and the top of the hill are merely as a courtesy the university essentially does not provide transportation to the goodman campus he said with this in mind brot man added i think there shouldn't be anyone who doesn't see the foolishness of using tuition dollars to pay off or main tain a multi-million dollar facility with out providing transportation to it when murray goodman made his gift i wonder if he was informed that hi tech high school location opposed by valley teachers by kathi moore and diane rosenbaum the university high school , proposed jointly by the university and the superin tendents of local school districts has been opposed by both the allentown and bethlehem education associations and the bethlehem area vocational technical professional association teacher's unions . the directors of the three groups noted that they are not opposed to the idea of a high technology high school curriculum rather proposals to remove qualified students from the high school to a cen trally located university high school are not satisfactory although the location curriculum and budget of the university high school have yet to be determined objections have been raised to the proposals the original proposal by the steering com mittee studying the feasibility of the uni versity high school included locating the school near the university according to

of a two-part series on student interest in univer sity wrestling by kathi moore wrestling has long been a university tradition enjoying much support from students faculty administration and the surrounding univeristy community since its beginnings in 1909 and since nationally acclaimed coach billy sheri dan began coaching the team in 1911 the engineers have gained a national repu tation not
