Rattling past the record
ASSOCIATED PRESS
**Jackie Bibby set a Guinness World Record by sitting in a see-through bathtub with 87 rattlesnakes in Dublin, Texas. Bibby spent about 45 minutes in the tub shattering his own record by 12 snakes. The snakes were not defended and still contained their venom Bibby said, but none of them bit him.**

What do you think? BY VANESSA CUNNINGHAM
JESSICA COX
Olathe freshman
"Maybe KU could add some buses to the system. I don't ride because I don't trust the buses. I don't want to be late or miss any of my classes."
WHAT DO YOU THINK WOULD IMPROVE THE KU BUS SYSTEM?
ALEX WARD
El Dorado sophomore
"There's not a whole lot anyone can do about it. It would be nice to have more buses, but I don't think that anything will necessarily fix the problem."
STEVE RAMSDELL Lawrence junior
"No system is perfect, but it would be helpful to have more buses for the morning and more for the early afternoon since that is when most students have class."
IBARI EZEKWE Kansas City senior
"The buses are generally on time, but I think that certain places like McCollum have more buses than other places. They're not equally divided. There needs to be a balance."
