Bus plan doesn't fulfill promises

We don't ask for much. A bus service in working order is certainly not too much to ask for. Several years ago, IU Student Association proposed a brand new bus plan, which involved a universal bus system every student could use.

The Majestic Star sits still in the ice-covered water of a marina in Buffington Harbor in Gary, Ind.
