H-R Bus Blasts Off

Starting tonight, you can flip your Cliffie a dime, dump her on a bus at Lowell, and go back to bed. If you don't have a Cliffie, you can ride the bus--which one student called "a jolly-up on wheels"--until you catch one.

A heated and lit yellow school bus will make two complete circuits an hour between Hilles and Lowell from 6 p.m. to 1 a.m. every night, except Sunday. If the bus can pay for itself, or has only a small deficit between now and Christmas vacation, it probably will run the rest of the winter. Harvard is underwriting the cost of the three-week trial period.

With the ride costing ten cents each way, the bus will have to take 560 passengers each night to break even.

Dr. D. Michael Gill, senior resident of Whitman Hall who originated the idea, took the bus on a trial run at 7 p.m. last Tuesday. The bus made a complete circuit, including stops, in less time than will be necessary in order to stay on schedule.

Gill said that the bus may get off schedule during its first hour--from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m.--but that it will be able to catch up easily.

Extra Trip

The last run of the night will be at 1 a.m., from Harvard to Radcliffe. When faced with the prospect of Cliffies being placed alone on the last bus, Gill said, "We might be able to add on an extra trip to the schedule on Friday and Saturday nights to bring the boys back home."

The bus will leave Lowell House at the base of Holyoke Street, on every hour and half hour from 6 p.m. to 1 a.m., stopping at the Lampoon, Widener Gate, the Busch-Reisinger Museum, along Oxford Street, and on Shepard Street in front of Hilles.

Leaving Hilles every 30 minutes from 6:15 to 12:45, the bus will stop at the Fogg Museum, Lamont Library, the corner of Dunster Street and Mass Ave., and finally at Lowell House. of the briefs submitted by the State and the defense. It will hand down its decision between 30 and 60 days from today.

Baird successfully challenged similar laws in New York State before entering Massachusetts. He heads the Parent Aid Society in New York which gives advice on birth control and on abortions.

In 1967, Baird was arrested before a crowd of 2500 people in Hayden Hall at B.U., after repeatedly challenging policemen. The Roxbury District Court declined jurisdiction over the case and passed it on to the superior court.

There, Judge Donald Macaulay found Baird guilty. Bellino chose to present no defense and requested that the laws' constitutionality be ruled upon by the state supreme court.

The superior court will sentence Baird only after the supreme court hands down its decision. The brief Belliro submits today will be the first statement of Baird's case by the defense.

Baird also spoke at Harvard and challenged policemen to arrest him for distributing information about birth control. He was not arrested and has not been prosecuted on that charge
