Saturday Studies May Be Hampered

CART transit will not be taking students who use weekends to study to campus this weekend due to the home football game this Saturday, Sept. 12, said CART bus driver Shirley Bosscawen.

The buses typically run from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturdays. High traffic and closed roads during gameday causes the buses to stop operation for all home football games, Bosscawen said.

OU student Jenny Atteberry said she will have to find alternate means of transportation to campus in order to study. "If I have to, I'll just try to find a close [parking] spot and pay [to park]," she said.

CART transit will not operate to campus for a home game against Tulsa, Saturday Sept. 19 and also for two Saturdays in both October and November.
