The Student Senate would have to approve an increase to the current fee of $5.60. Eastern’s Board of Trustees also would have to approve the increase. Cox said the Student Senate would survey students before the fee was approved. The shuttle bus was shut down indefinitely just before Spring Break as administration and Student Government officials look for a new company to run the shuttle bus sys- tem. The old company, H&H Transportation of Charleston, mutu- ally agreed with the university to terminate its contract to run the two Panther Express buses in March because the company could not pro- vide the bus service at the price it bid. Adam Weyhaupt, senate speaker, said he is not sure how much of an increase will be necessary next year. “There’s a variety of options. Almost any option for next semester would necessitate an increase,” he said. “We hope to have all the options definite and ready to present to Student Senate by Wednesday night.” The university also has had diffi- culty reaching a contract with a transportation company for the / Assoc.

Now the company precedent may have been set. is saying it needs an addition- al $20,000 to finish out the rest of the semester and honor its part of the contract. That is a large sum of money. Unfortunately, the school could’t make up the difference and the bus company couldn’t continue to run its buses while taking a monetary loss. So the sides mutually agreed to terminate the contract. After all, it was the best thing for all parties involved, except for the students who pay $5.60 a semester and expect to be able to ride the Panther Express when they want. And what about the precedent this sets? With the growing number of construction projects and improvements going on around campus, there are sure to be plenty of bids for plenty of projects. What happens when one of those bids comes in way under what it should be, and the university gleefully accepts it? Maybe a few months down the road, the company comes to the university and says it needs more money. The university has no more money to give and the project cannot go forward without it. Will the sides mutually agree to part ways, or will the uni- versity scramble to pay it off? Either way, the university won’t win. If it follows the precedent set in this decision and termi- nates the contract, the possibility exists that bidders will con- stantly lowball their estimates and later cancel their contracts and work will never be finished on time, or at all, on campus. ticket office in the Martin Luther King Or the university could opt to try and dig up the money Education the only way Jr. University Union saying “For blacks from somewhere, taking it away from somewhere else.
