the cardinal, and home phone number should be

These students prove that walking is not the only way to get around
campus. As the campus expands and students look for faster ways to get
to class on time, Lamar may have to consider some measure to protect
those students who still prefer to “foot it." Perhaps stop signs in the
quadrangle?
