To the Editors of the CRIMSON:
At the Christmas recess of 1963, two Harvard freshmen chartered a Greyhound bus to Chicago, charging each rider $25.85 round trip. They made the cost of their own trips only.
This year the H.S.A. took over the bus charter business, and charged $54.00 round trip. A call to Greyhound reveals that the cost of chartering a bus (with toilet) to Chicago and back is $1300. There are 39 passengers. It all works out to $22.22 each.
The H.S.A., then, makes slightly over $800.00 on each bus, Isn't that a little too much? John L. Gerdes '66 Herbert L. Meltes '66 John J. Walsh '66
P.S. Greyhound charges only $60.12 round trip.
