? Stephen Mills is turning the tenet of capitalism on its head. The School Art & Design senior has designed a shelter on wheels, which he calls the Homeless Utility Vehicle (HUV). Fueled by foot power, the modest mobile home is made from bicycle wheels, plywood and metal, encased in pliable plastic covering.
