Thursday, March 7, 2013 campustimes.org / page 5 Opinions EDITORIAL cartoon EDITORIAL BOARD Expand SafeRide off campus Currently, SafeRide, an SA funded program, transports students to and from any of the following locations: ITS, Carlson, Todd Union, Hillcourt, Southside, Riverview and the UR Medical Center. From the hours of 11 p.m. to 4 a.m., this service is vital to the student body, as travelling outside during this time is or feels unsafe, regardless of Bluelight phones and group travel. With an increasing number of students living off-campus, SafeRide should be expanded to include the area covered by the Gold Line shuttle.

This area, considered by the University to be a place for extra safety precautions, is also an off-campus living area close enough that students do not necessarily need a car to com- mute to class. While the Gold Line runs until 12:30 a.m. Monday through Wednesday and 1:30 a.m. Thursday through Sunday, this time frame excludes students who certainly will be staying in the library later to finish their work.

Those who say that students living on-campus deserve access to the benefits of SafeRide because they pay for it, are correct; however, students living off-campus also pay. It is funded by the University, meaning all students pay for the service, therefore all should alex kurland / staff illustrator have access to it.

EDITORIAL observer Moreover, to calm the clamor that this expansion, once started, will not cease, SafeRide should only expand to the Gold Line neighborhood.

Spring break: professor style

at some point in everyone’s lives, their parents have revealed that (spoiler alert) Santa Claus doesn’t exist and there is no fairy who sneaks into kids’ rooms at night to reward them for losing teeth. The biggest shock of all: Teachers have their own lives separate from bestowing knowledge upon their students, making im- possible exams, and offering office hours. They don’t all live at school when they leave for spring break either.

While Twitter, Starbucks, and other material sacrifices seem to be making the most buzz among the Lenten faithful, Newman Catholic Community Father Brian Cool explains that not all Lenten sacrifices are so trivial. “I really suspect most people give up something they keep… personal,” he said. “They look at their character and their deci- sions and seek a deeper change.
