By DAVID VANKER A student said yesterday that he and his roommates will sue the University if the lease they signed for a triple in South Quad is cancelled. The lease incorrectly lists the price of the dorm roofn as $2,194.46. A letter from the housing office to LSA freshman Joseph Roberts and over 100 other students who signed leases for dormitory triples states that the proper amount is $2,452.10 and asks that the students sign new leases by April 3. If a new lease if not signed, the letter says, the incorrect lease will be cancelled. ROBERTS SAID yesterday he had spoken to an attorney to discuss possible legal action. "We have a binding contract," Roberts said. "We purchased the lease. We weren't aware that was an incorrect price." Jonathan Rose, an attorney at Student Legal Services, said the Housing Office may be bound to the original lease if the students were unaware that the amount on those leases was incorrect. Roberts said he talked to Housing Information Director Leroy Williams yesterday. "He said they're going to void the leases April 3 whether or not we've signed the new lease," Roberts said. But Housing Advisor Marlene Mantyk said the University would not automatically cancel the leases. "We '11 definitely contact the students to see if they had enough time to respond or if they just forgot." She added, however, that the letter indicates the housing office would void the lease of any student who refuses to sign the new lease. The letter, dated March 22, states "In the event you are unable or unwilling to pay the amount set forth in the corrected lease, please notify us immediately. The previously executed Residence Hall Lease showing the mistaken amount will be voided and returned to you." Roberts, however, said he and his roommates would sue the University if the lease which they signed is cancelled. Mantyk said any lawsuit against the Housing Office would be referred to the University's legal counsel. University attorney Roderick Daane refused to comment on the incorrect leases and said he was not aware of the situation.

Reagan m WASHINGTON (UPI) - President Reagan, saying he is the real target of Democratic attacks on Edwin Meese, admitted to throwing his reading glasses and using "unprintable language" when he watches TV reports on the subject. "Sometimes I get mad," Reagan said in an interview published Friday in Gannett newspapers. "Look, I'm the guy they're after with their demagoguery. Well, all right then, come after me." NMEESE, A top White House aide nominated by Reagan to be attorney general, was criticized during Senate confirmation hearings for receiving financial aid from men who later got government jobs. Because so many questions wer'e raised on that issue and others, Meese asked the Justice Department to seek a special prosecutor to investigate all the charges against him, hoping the move would clear the way for his eventual confirmation. Reagan said that when he watches television reports on. Meese, "Sometimes, I get mad." He said his aides tell him that once in a while when they see him "throw my glasses .. . ad' about Meese attacks 'Look, I'm the guy they're after with their demagoguery.

The nine student, faculty and ad- ministrator members of the council will take student input from those present and relay that to the University's executive officers, according to Daniel Sharphorn, who has been largely responsible for organizing the logistics of the hearing. The low turnout at two previous forums on the code led the council to experiment with the special method of encouraging students to attend the meeting. He also said that the random-sample method would help ensure that a representative sample of students will attend the hearing. AT A FORUM held at the campus chapel in mid-February, only 15 people attended, and at a teach-in sponsoredc by "No Code" earlier this month, only about 45 people were present. "It was decided that it was ap- propriate to get more student input in a more structuredwform. The other two forums didn't work so well, so we decided to try something new. People are much more interested now," Shar- phorn said. Both Sharphorn and Eric Schnaufer, vice president of the group "No Code" have been invited by the council to sit on a panel at the hearing to answer questions about the code. SCHNAUFER, a graduate student who has been one of the most vocal op- ponents of the code in recent months, said that the University council's long delay in holding the hearing indicates that the University administration is not genuinely interested in student opinion. they know I'm angry." THE PRESIDENT said his response to those making charges against Meese is, "Quit picking on people who haven't done anything wrong and who actually have made a sacrifice in order to serve in government, and try to destroy human beings the way they are." Reagan said he used "unprintable language for a minute or two" when he saw a television report this week that Meese had failed to relinquish jade and gold cuff links he received from South Korean officials last November. Under federal law, government of- ficials cannot keep any gift worth more than $140. The White House Gift Unit has decided the cuff links that Meese and 11 others received were worth $375. REAGAN noted that a number of those who received the cuff links kept them, apparently thinking the jewelry was not worth more than $140. "But I also learned that you can eat yourself up with anger," he said. "I'd rather eat them up.'? Reagan also questioned the wisdom of making government workers subject to so many rules. In another development Friday, an aide to Sen. Howard Metzenbaum, (D- Ohio)'said the senator may be coming under attack himself for his criticism of Meese's nomination as attorney general.
