While walking on the pathway next to Bouke on the way to the Thomas building Wednesday, I and many other pedestrians were yelled at by an irate driver. I assume he was angry that the crowds were preventing him from getting to his destination, but it was between 9:55 and 10:10 a.m., when a lot of students are switching classes. This incident brought one thing to mind: the importance of mutual respect when it comes to transportation on campus. President Spanier, at last Friday's Board of Trustees meeting, said university-wide enrollment is up about 6.5 percent from last year, with University Park attendance over 42,000.

The rise is evident, with campus walkways, the HUB and downtown streets more crowded than ever. In order to avoid people getting angry about the slow pace of the people in front of them or the bike that nearly runs them over, every one must learn to be respectful and work together to make things run more smoothly. If you are walking, stay to the right. If you are biking, bike only on designated areas and get off when you hit an area that is crowded. If you are driving, try to avoid campus during class hours or come to terms with the fact that you will be moving slowly. We go to a huge school that is forever growing - but transportation hasn't yet reached the point where it's unmanageable.
