Packed like sardines, breathing down each others' necks, students anxiously wait until the squeal of the bus' tires will grind to a halt and they can squirm their way off the bus, onto solid ground and into the open air. Buses have seemed much more crowd- ed this year, and one potential explantion for the increase in riders could be the increase in the price of parking stickers this year. When students riding the bus were asked if they thought the increase in parking sticker price was one of the rea- sons that buses were so crowded this year, most students agreed. "Yes, the new ticket price has to do with the overcrowding of buses because people just don't want to pay for it," said CINDY TlNKERJsluff pholonrapher junior Kristen Petro.
