o you want to wait for the Tram or do you want to walk? "I just saw the Tram. It was

going the wrong way • let's walk."

Conversations like this took place every day at USO. While most students appreci– ated the convenience of the Tram, it some– times more of an inconvenience to sit around waiting for it. For most students, the answer to this dilemma was simple: if you happened to catch the Tram, great, • otherwise it was time to start pounding the pavement. The exception was a single one: rain. As long as rain was falling from the sky, you could count on the Tram being packed. The words "Maximum Capacity" seemed to take on a new meaning in this situation. This was a great way to become a lot more familiar with your fellow students. Stu– dents crowded as many as eight people into a single row of seats (which normally eat five), they sat on each other's laps, and many were able to ride "shotgun" with the driver. The Tram also benefited those students who arrived to campus too late to obtain a decent parking space on campus. Those students were encouraged to park up at the Vistas and then wait for the Tram to take them to main campus. Students seemed to ignore this advice, however, and the parking controversy continued.

Contemplating this difficult decision Is, for some students, Just a matter of which direction the USD Tram is headed.

"See you guyw later!" Thia student bids a fond fare– well to hia friends as they continue on their way aboard the Tram.

Bikes are definitely more convenient for many atu– denta. You _don't have to worry about a parking apace, catching the Tram or having to run to make it to clua on time! A_friend indeed ia a friend who will drive you to clua. Like other on-campus reaidenta who are often late to clua, these guyw find that a "friendly" chauffeur ie the only way to go!
