CA LSTATEThe Michigan Daily - Thrusday, October 23, 19 niversi Express offers ride to weekend game 97 - 7A By Margene Eriksen Daily Staff Reporter While some students may be scrambling to find a ride to the foot- ball game Saturday, others are trav- eling in luxury. University Express, a new bus service for students, is 0utting down on the stress of finding des. "University Express is a luxury bus that works like a limousine. It picks people up where they live and takes them exactly where they need to go," said Daniel Ward, who founded University Express. University Express makes runs from Thursday to Monday most weeks, but may run more often dur- ing the holidays. *Students using the service can be dropped off anywhere in the Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids and East Lansing areas. "University Express wasn't my only alternative for getting to the game this weekend, but it is proba- bly the easiest," said LSA first-year student Ryan Venhuizen. "I didn't have to bug anybody for a ride. It's really convenient and that makes it worth it." Ward said he started the luxury bus service after seeing tired stu- dents driving home on the weekends. He also wanted to ensure that stu- dents like his daughters would have convenient transportation. "I went to college and I know it's hard to get places when you're a stu- dent. I have three college-age girls, one at U of M and one at Berkeley and they and their friends are always scrambling to find rides," Ward said. "One of the hardest things is to get rides to other campuses and home. When I see students driving on the highway and trying to stay awake. I want to yell, hey get on the bus!" Ward said Saturday's Michigan- Michigan State football game has sparked more calls than ever for his 14-passenger bus since he started University Express. ie has publicized the service through fliers and business cards around campus. "So far, I haven't had to turn any- one down. Many of my calls are last minute though. I'll get people who will call me on the bus begging for a ride and I'll say I'll be there in 20 minutes," Ward said. "I can only make one run to the game Saturday since it's just me though." LSA first-year student Kimberly Roers said she plans to take University Express to Saturday's game. "I hate riding Greyhound. I hate uncomfortable seats. Ward says he has blankets and pillows and that sounds like a cool thing," Roers said. University Express and Greyhound have roughly the same rates, but some students said they like the safety of door-to-door ser- vice. "You feel very safe - it's not a bus of crazies. Daniel is nice, he talks with you. There are magazines, he'll play your music, it's fun and it goes quick," said LSA first-year stu- dent Carissa Swanger. Ward's favorite music: Ani DeFranco, Natalie Merchant and the Dave Matthews Band. So far, the University Express ser- vice is comprised o onl one us with Ward ils the driver. Wrd aid he hopes to expand wlhen the serice starts paying for itself. Ward says he tries to make the ride as comfortable for students ;ind their families as possible. The bus has carpeting, cloth seats, pilous. large smoked glass x indos and blnkets,. "Its a very casual nd relkned atmosphere. I haxe a cell phone on board so if w e're running Lte, peo- ple can make calls if they need bo," Ward said. One student said Ward goes out of his way to make it an anyt hing but ordinary bus ride. "While I was on the bus, (Ward) got a call to pick someone up. This meant that another girl was going to be delayed so he bought her Burger King so she wouldn't get hungry," Swanger said.

The change means the state will not challenge compacts that have allowed 14 Indian casinos in Michigan to open. But state officials said Kelley's ruling could be used by some other group to challenge the legality of the seven com- pacts in place. And four tribes who have signed compacts with Gov. John Engler face a compacts valid Schools expelling troublesomle,-. students to increase safety LANSING (AP) - Legislation to Smith (D-Detroit).

Earlier, the Senate approved and sent to the House bills that allow assaulted students to traisfer to another district, encourage thegas of uniforms and establish charterschols solely for troubled youths. higher hurdle for approval in the Legislature -- one that the tribes might try to argue is too high for federal law. Kelley issued an opinion Tuesday that said gaming compacts must be approved by the Legislature as bills rather than as resolutions. Bills have to have a majority vote of all representa- tives; resolutions can pass with a majority vote of whomever attends that day. His opinion has the force of law unless challenged in court. After saying Tuesday that the opinion applied to all compacts, Kelley's office issued a clarification yesterday. It said the opinion does not cover the approved compacts because they were made as part of a 1993 federal court settlemnt between the state and the tribes. "The opinion issued yesterday does not invalidate the seven pre-existing compacts," Kelley's office said in a statement. "However, absent court intervention, the opinion does apply'to all future gaming by tribal-state tom- pacts entered into under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act."
