said that his schedule, combined
with the limited shuttle service,

^ ^McBride said, "If you can catch
it, you're lucky. It left at 4:30 p.m.

Nowak said that a friend of

problems like this that make it hard

he said. f
Brown added that as soon as
the individual came forward (he
came forward on his. own), the

division a lesson, as well. "The
lesson was that maybe it's not a

Brown was surprised that the
students were so discontent and
outspoken to the newspaper.
"They have always,fromday

they put together a 'hit list' of all
their concerns. It was a pretty big
