Shuttlebus Q A Session At SWT To Discuss Plan
Southwest Texas State University students will hold a brief Q A in the Student Center at 1 30 p m on December 3 to discuss a proposed shuttlebus system. The plan would serve SWT areas in San Marcos and satellite lots with service every seven minutes during peak times and every thirty minutes otherwise. A six dollar semester fee would finance the service ahead of a spring 1976 vote.
