apartment complexes are located
from one to five miles from central
campus. Although the rental costs
are only slightly lower than those on
central campus, most of the build-
ings are new and have swimming
pools, recreation areas, and other
advantages. Average monthly rental
rates for this type of housing is
currently $170-$250 for a one-bed-
room apartment; $220-$300 for two
bedrooms; and $260-$350 for three
bedrooms.
Apartment hunters should ask
several questions during their
searches:
" Are all lease provisions legal?
" Is remodeling underway or com-
pleted?0
" Are public areas in good condi-
tion?
" Is there enough parkihg space?
" Is a resident or general manager
always available?
* How clean is the apartment?
* Does the apartment need re-
pairs?
" Is the lease for eight or twelve
months-!
" Who pays for utilities?
" Is there hot water twenty-four
hours a day?
" Is the apartment close to shop-
ping areas and the campus?
Williams warns that landlords are
increasingly placing heating meters
in individual units so the tenant
would have to pay heating costs. She
said it is vital that the tenant "pays
special attention" to this before
signing a lease.
BE PREPARED to pay a sum
equivalent to two-and-a-half months
rent before signing the lease. There

As an alternative for the student
who is tired of dorm life but fears the
hassles of an apartment, fraternities,
sororities, and cooperatives are the
most economic alternatives.'
For the forty-two fraternities and
fifteen sororities on campus, which
are regaining popularity, prices for a
room and three-meals-a-day board
plan average $170-$215 per month.
For those interested in living at one
of the twenty-two Inter-Cooperative
Council Co-ops on campus, rates
average $145-$155 per month, which
includes three daily meals. "
THERE ARE several distinct "stu-

rental housing.

to about Fifth St. is a district of older
frame and brick houses, many,9f
which are for rent as apartments.
This area, which includes several
houses which have been designated
city historic sites, is fairly quiet
away from Division Street, and. js
populated largely by graduate stu-
dents. Rents are higher closer toold
St. Joseph Mercy Hospital.
South of campus along Forestqnd
Church Streets is a mix of modern
apartment complexes, frame houses,
and fraternities. Southeast of 4lYis
area are residential dwellings ard, a
number of older rental houses.
For about five blocks east of Wash-
tenaw Ave., several rental houses
can be found between Geddes and
South University. North of Geddes
and near the Intramural Building~are
several squat, square apartrment
buildings.

A series of open hearings were held to
engender student comments on the
distribution requirements last term,
but the only students to attend were
members of the committee. Rosenberg
noted that because students didn't get
involved in the decision-making
process, an impression is conveyed that

co-workers will examine leases for
illegal clauses and give apartment hun-
ters other advise.
Williams said the best way for a per-
son to find out about an apartment is by
word of mouth-knocking on doors and
talking to current tenants.
WILLIAMS acknowledges the
pressure students face when scram-
bling for apartments and signing leases
so early. She advises them not to con-
sider a roorpmate merely as somone
who helps pay the rent. Most city leases
contain joint-and-several clauses,
meaning that a person. can be held
liable for a roommate's portion of the
rent if the roommate leaves school or
doesn't pay his or her rent.
Beginning in March, the Off-Campus
BHonsing Office will have roommate
matching books available. These books
contain listings which can help students
looking for roommates.
they don't care. She feels this might be
an influence on the committee.
CLOKE NOTED that the present
plans A, B, and C "arose in an era
which was much more liberal." The
trend now, he said, "is tending more
towards tightening things up." Stechuk
has said, "the fight now is not for new
reforms, but to hold on to those things
that were won in the '60s."
Still, all the committee members
agree that the proposals are "in a state
of flux" and that more debate and com-
S ik ely
promise will occur before any final
decisions are made.
Nissen said he believes that a final
proposal should be made before the
Faculty Governing Board by the end of
the term and that the new requirements
should take effect for the class entering
next fall.

you, telling
us how
to run our
business?.
It takes a lot of confidence to come
fresh out of school and begin telling us
how to do things.
On the other hand, it takes an un-
usual company to provide the kind of
environment where that can happen; but
that is exactly the environment you'll find
at Scott Paper.
We constantly search for people
who have the ability to respond to chal-
lenge and think for themselves, those
with the initiative and desire to seek al-
ternatives, the skill and courage to con-
vince others that there are better ways
and who aren't afraid to express their
ideas."
