We were left in the cold
Letter to the Editor
I am writing this letter at 3 a.m. I just got back from Saint Mary's College. The only explanation I have for why it took me an hour to get back home is that the damn shuttle bus stopped early. Three Zahm guys, a Sorin guy, a Dillon guy, and I walked back through the falling snow, driving winds and arctic temperatures.
On the way back, we met a seemingly kind Saint Mary's College security patrolman who informed us politely that we were dedicated individuals. What the hell! Does he think that a bunch of guys just decided to take a stroll through hellish weather at two in the morning?
Then, after eating another doughnut, he informed us that he couldn't give us a ride of one block because he was only allowed to give Saint Mary's students rides. Then, he proceeded to drive in front of us at an obnoxiously slow speed, leaving just enough room so that we couldn't hang on to the bumper. So, all this having been said, I'm cold and wet and want to know why Transpo thinks that it can mess with the shuttle schedules on a whim. If anybody has an answer, pray tell.
