Yard-Quad Shuttle Bus to Run During the Day by March 15

Yard-Quad shuttle bus service will be extended to the daytime, possibly by March 15, officials in the Dean's office announced yesterday.

The buses will leave the Quadrangle depot in front of Currier House for Johnston Gate in the Yard at ten minutes before and twenty minutes after each hour.

Buses will depart for the Quad from Johnston Gate at ten minutes after and twenty minutes before each hour.

Bruce Collier, assistant dean of the College, said yesterday the expanded bus service will cost an additional $15,000 annually.

The existing bus service, which runs from 3:50 to 1:10 a.m., costs the University about $60,000.

Barbara Rosenkrantz '44, master of Currier House and a member of the subcommittee on the Quad which negotiated the additional bus service, said yesterday she is "delighted" with the decision.

'Long Year's Work'

"It's the result of a long year's work by the CHUL," she said.

The immediate decision to move ahead with daytime shuttle service emerged from a series of CHUL meetings in late January and early February.

During the CHUL's last January meeting, the committee passed a resolution endorsing continued upgrading of facilities, including improved bus service.

The CHUL moved that an ad hoc subcommittee be formed to draw up specific plans for improved bus service.

That sub-committee formulated a plan last Wednesday. The group yesterday morning passed its resolution on to Dean Rosovsky, who approved it immediately.

The shuttle began operating as a security measure in 1973.

The daytime buses, however, will be running purely for the convenience of students and not because of any additional security problem, Collier said.
