James Madison University Thursday, September 9,19*2 Vd.60 No.3 Commuter wants more bus service _ By JAMES DENERY The Commuter Student Commit- tee is working to expand JMU bus service to areas of high student population. A CSC study is trying to map those areas, CSC busing Chairman Ben Gar ret t said. Gar ret t said he did not know when the study will be finished or when the bus service might begin. Last April, Garrett sponsored a bill of opinion in the Student Government Association that called for university bus service to "all ma- jor apartment complexes with a large student density." The bill was passed unanimously by the 13 members of the CSC and by the SGA Senate, 31-2. The proposal called for the bus that now stops at Presidential Apart- ments to include Litton Apartments, Shen Rock Apartments,. Liberty Square, and Park Apartments. It called for the Howard Johnson's bus to include Squire Hill Apartments, Deer Run Apartments and Devonshire Townhouses.
