the intersection of Evergreen and
Ogden streets, Maple and Main
streets and Howard Street and
West Poplar.
In an earlier interview, nursing
sophomore Beatrice Paiz said she
did not like the new route.
"The route to the campus is
longer, and it takes longer to get to
class," Paiz said. "The old routes
were faster."
Paiz also said the route took
more time when the shuttle was
full, which she said was most of
the time.

longer route, so it takes longer to

In response to shuttle van rid-
ers' complaints that the new
routes take longer, Route 1 has
been modified to include a second
stop at Chance Academic Center.
Because Chance lies in the mid-
dle of the route, an additional stop
reduces riding time by half, cam-
pus police Lt. Derrick Patten said
March 19.
Students at the stops on
Howard and Maple streets, Poplar
and Howard streets and Ogden
and Evergreen streets are taken
directly to Chance.
The driver then completes the
route and drop off riders at
Dewey and Bellmap places or at
Chance.
The routes were changed
March 5 as part of improvements
to the shuttle system recommend-
ed by Student Government.
Other improvements will
include two larger, handicap-
accessible vans, expected to be
available by the fall semester.
Alamo Mobility Inc., a San
Antonio company, was awarded a
$91,364 contract at the Alamo
Community College District
board of trustees meeting March
20 to provide two 18-passenger
vehicles.
Route 1 now has two campus
stops at Chance and one stop at
Belknap and Dewey places. It also
stops at Howard Street and West
Courtland Place, and East Locust
between Main Avenue and Ogden
Street.
Route 2 has a campus stop at
the child development center and
at faculty parking Lot 21 between

Shuttle driver Mary Jane
Casarez, employed by the tempo-
rary agency 4/K, Inc./Cross/
Trainers, Inc., said that if the shut-
tle becomes full, she takes the rid-
ers to Chance and continues on
with the rest of the route.
"It's a little hectic sometimes,"
she said. "But we cannot do any-
thing about it."
The shuttle runs from 7:45 a.m.
to 3:45 p.m., Monday through
Friday.
"I'm here by 7:30 a.m. If the
motor pool (personnel) doesn't
see me, they know something is
wrong," Casarez said.
She said she leaves at 3:50 p.m.
"I like to take an extra five min-
utes just on the safe side for the
students."

She said, "It didn't
have anything to do
with threatening some-
one, because that
couldn't be proven by
the police reports.
"After I left, it was
up to the committee to
ask questions and give
him a chance to
respond."
Louderback said the
decision against him
was hypocritical
because the student code also pro-
hibits "chemical-dispensing
devices," which includes Mace.
He said Mace was sold to students
for self-defense by student devel-
opment at the end of his
Orientation to College course,
SDEV 170.
Executive Vice President
Robert Zeigler said March 23 that
Mace is prohibited only when
used as an offensive weapon, not
in self-defense.
Louderback said, "Evidently, I
was a danger to this campus. They
wanted to make an example of me
to the student body."

The suspension of radio-televi-
sion-film sophomore Matt
Louderback, who threatened
another student with a knife, was
upheld by a disciplinary hearing
March 22 after he appealed the
decision.
Louderback said
Wednesday that he
will take the matter to
a civil court and is
seeking legal counsel.
He said, "They're
not making a wise,
prudent decision
because they don't
understand what this
could turn into."
He said he was not
trying to get the sus-
pension lifted but said he wants
his Pell grant and student loans
paid back, "and I'd like an apolo-
gy-"
Louderback was suspended
March 7 after an argument with
radio-television-film sophomore
Chris Claire Feb. 21 outside Room
203 of McAllister Fine Arts Center.
Louderback said Claire threat-
ened to cut his throat, and he
drew the knife to protect himself
but did not attack Claire.
The knife was a 3-inch lock-
blade, a knife which violates a
City of San Antonio code prohibit-
ing lock-blades of any length.
