Since 1993, Safe Rides has been providing the Elon student body an invaluable service by offering late-night transportation Thursdays through Saturday. While Safe Rides is currently able to transport just under 2,000 students a month, there is a rising trend in demand resulting in wait-times that consistently surpass three hours. During the 2016-2017 academic year Safe Rides has already successfully integrated an additional sedan to the fleet, yet even with the additional vehicle it has become evident that on nights with minimal volunteers and high call rates, it is a hardship to maintain timely transportation. To help diminish such delays, and to ensure that Safe Rides is providing the best possible service with the goal of protecting the well-being of Elon University’s student body, Safe Rides is actively pursuing the acquisition of a new six-passenger van. With the addition of another six-passenger van (increasing our six-passenger fleet to 3), there would be greater efficiency and a substantial increase in the number of Elon students Safe Rides is able to transport each night.…

For centuries we have seen our family unit only one way; with the father going off to work, and the mother staying home with the children. All the way back to the beginning of humans it has been this way. Lately however, this is all changing. With women 's lib came the "new woman". She wants to do everything a man can do including having a career. The only problem is, there is no one to stay home to raise the children if mom goes off to work. The need for daycare has risen sharply as more moms are choosing to work rather than stay home. As a result, the family unit is growing apart. According to the National Association of Child Care Resource and Referral Agency, over 20 million children ages 0-12 are in full time child care this year in the United States. Many of our children are now spending most of the day away from their home and family, and because of this, are not able to experience the values of close family bonds that our grandparents and great-grandparents had. If we wish to preserve our family ties and bonds, we should take steps toward bringing the family unit back together. The first step should encourage families to let children stay home with mom when they are young, and not put them in a daycare.…
them good opportunities? In reality the businesses are taking advantage over people who live in conditions were the amount of money the children could possibly earn could be detrimental to the families income.

This is unfortunate because in reality many people would agree that this type of business structure is a bad thing. This style of business is great for…
