Panel opposes shuttle-bus service
The Student Senate Services Committee last night voted to oppose a plan that would establish a night buslethe bus on campus.
"We don't think it is just or fair to students," Charles Lawhorn, chairman of the committee, said of the plan that would restrict night campus parking.
The shuttle bus plan was originally proposed by a subcommittee of KU's Parking and Traffic Board. The proposed shuttle bus would circulate from parking lots south of Robinson Center to the main entrance, where it might night would have been required to purchase a night parking permit
Lawnhorn said the parking board should be concerned with the "outrageous costs" of various parking fines, rather than developing new parking plans.

Some recruiting offices are receiving more calls Marine actions spark new interest in enlistment
By SUSAN WORTMAN Staff Reporter
INTERNATIONAL situations like the those in Beirut and Grenada tend to increase national patriotism, Whitfield said. Patriotism is, in part, the reason behind the increased number of phone calls in the Marine's office.
National patriotism, sparked by military action in Grenada and Lebanon, has increased the number of calls to Marine recruiting offices.
Sgt. Steve Whitfield, Marines public affairs officer in Kansas City, Mo., said that nearly 50 people had called this week to inquire about enlisting.
"Once a Marine, always a Marine," is really true. "Whitfield said." "Most of the men feel a need to come back. They know they are needed."
"I did the same thing myself I got out, but I came back in 1980 during the war."
"Patriotism is always there, but they just don't see it at first. Usually people associate it with radical conservatism. But you have to believe that, they 'respond to the call'," he said.
Although the number of calls has increased, the number of men recruited has remained about the same.
"It is not like you run down and get a rifle. We do have a screening process and we want good quality men in the ranks," Whitfield said.
Whitfield said he did not think the men who were calling were afraid that the draft would be reinstated, but that they had a sense of pride toward their country.
"They are young, male and of the right age. They think that enlisting is the right thing to do," he said.
OTHER LOCAL recruiting offices of the armed services have not seen an increased number of inquires.
An Air Force spokesman in Lawrence said that he had not noticed an increased number of inquiries since Marines were attacked in Beirut, and the number of casualties on the island of Grenada Army recruiters could not be reached for comment.
Lt. Karen Roach, Midwest public affairs officer for the Navy, said the number of inquiries last week was about the same as usual.
"We haven't noticed any flurry of activity," she said. "We have not been run over with people and they haven't been knocking on our door."
After the Iranian crisis in 1980, Roach said, the number of enlistments from the Midwest increased.
"When the hostages were released, people were so proud and happy about their return that we got quite a few more," he said. "A national intulsion of patriotism." she said.
But Roach said, office jobs received more phone calls from the relocation agency.
