Local Student Jon O., a devoted Shuttle Driver at Bethel University, was recently let go from his position late Sunday evening. The decision had been forecast months before with repeated complaints of aggressive driving, poor music selection, and off-beat jokes to shuttle passengers. After hearing the decision Jon O. had this to say, "Yeah I'm pissed, that was my best opportunity to talk to freshman girls." The most recent complaint came from a group of Juniors taking the shuttle to Fountain Terrace last Thursday. Bryan S. recounts the situation, "We had just finished up a group project and were eager to get back to Fountain so we could get some much needed rest. After waiting outside for the shuttle for several minutes, all we wanted was the shuttle to be warm so we could heat up our chilled bones, but when we got in the shuttle we soon discovered that Jon O. had the Air Conditioning turned on when it was a cold -4 degrees outside. I filed a complaint as soon as I got home!" Many speculate Jon O. was driving the shuttle that night with the Air Conditioner on to prove he's tough as nails.
In one filed complaint, Jon O. is reported as trying to play chicken with other vehicles to further prove his toughness to younger members of the other sex. In the complaint Junior Jen P. is quoted saying, "Jon decided to turn on 93.7 the X and start driving in the wrong lane. After the oncoming cars swerved out of the way, Jon decided to go head on with a guy on his 10 speed Schwinn. Jon won and proved nothing more than he isn't all connected upstairs. It was a traumatizing experience." Authorities said the man on the bike is still living, but has lost the use of his legs.
