The director of "Transit Services," which drastically reduced its services to students living off-campus this year, would like us to believe that the revamped Escort Services is safer, better and more efficient. In reality, however, the University is in a financial stranglehold and desperately needs students to live in its dorms. Therefore, the "new and improved" Escort Services is an incentive for off-campus students to occupy empty rooms on campus and pump money back into Penn's coffers. Indeed, it poses a threat to many. So, who is going to win this fall? Mainly SEPTA and taxi drivers. JULIAN BASHORE Wharton '94
