Ann Arbor does have a persistent housing shortage. Moreover, every school year at least oue building is condemned over winter break. Many students in Ann Arbor feel their land- lords' main objective is to make a profit and not to provide decent liv- ing. Most students call the AATU after crises or moderate problems have already occurred. The AATU is now trying to educate students and renters before problems arise. They are beginning to offer workshops in University residence halls and throughout Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti.

The AATU advertises their semi- nar will provide many useful tips and valuable information to first and even second and third-time renters. For example, Chusid said one thing student renters often don't know is that a landlord must have a Certificate of Occupancy (CIO), which is legal authorization that the building is fit for humans to live in. If they don't, state law says the ten- ants do not have to pay rent until the landlord acquires one. Chusid offers two pieces of advice, one practical and one philosophical - The first is to "get and do every- thing in writing." The second is "to know your rights are the backbone of getting what you are entitled to, and seek out information so that you can fight." The Ann Arbor Tenants Union is located in the Michigan Union. Their office is room 41 56.

In fact, the very thought might conjure up strong feelings of either loyalty or1 you who have never heard of this controver- sial book, let me explain. The full title is "The Rules: Time-Tested Secrets for Capturing the Heart of Mr. Right." That in itself is quite telling, as is the picture of an engagement ring on the cover. The book is hatred. For those of Gina Hamadey State of the Aits funny (men don't like sarcasm!) and, my favorite, wear your hair long only. This is not the extent of it. No, no. There are exactly 35 rules in this book and, as if that wasn't enough, a whole other book called "The Rules II." Chapter by chapter, the authors elaborate on each rule. They recount false stories of Melanies and Bettys, some "Rules" girls, some not. (The "Rules" girls, of course, always get their man while the "Rules" breakers end up desolate and alone.) Despite this bad writing and utter stupidity of content, many women take "The Rules" very seriously, adapting the mantra to their dating lives. Of course, many don't. Feminists and self-respecting women in gener- al, whom the authors call "modern, career-oriented women who have been MBA-trained to 'make things happen"' (suggesting that's a bad thing) find the stifling rules offensive to women. There is an undertone of sexism running throughout these rules. For instance, the authors rec- ommend reading the newspaper and books because "men want wives who can fulfill them mentally as well as physically and emotionally." God for- bid a woman may want to read for other reasons. Most men haven't heard of the book. I suppose "Rules" girls want to keep the origin of their mysterious- ness a mystery. One man who was familiar with the book called it "intensely disturbing." I'm sure most men would share this sentiment after finding out they are being toyed with by the women they are dating in such a methodical fashion. Some guys went so far as to write a rebuttal in their defense. It is a parody of "The Rules," poking fun at the book's brainless authors and husband-hun- gry audience. Based on this, one might assume that if men had a similar dogma of rules about dating, women would be just as dismayed. On the contrary. Ever seen "Swingers"? It has just about an equal cult following, arguably more outrageous claims, rampant sexism, and everyone loves it. I love it. The difference between the two is the presence of subtl casm in "Swingers" that is trag lacking in "The Rules." Sarcasm intended or not, men actually take this movie lite Men who, like "Rules" girls, only one thing in mind. As you have already guessed, it's not riage. These guys act like "the in the rated-R movie rather tha PG-13 movie."

The funny thing is, women of all ages are read- ing it and swearing by it, claiming that these rules work miracles. Do I find it scary that a book found in the self-help section has attracted so much attention? Yes. The basic gist is this: Play hard to get. But it is not nearly as vague. "Rules" girls must wait days before returning calls, end these calls after after 10 minutes, refuse a Saturday date if asked after Wednesday, be mysterious and ladylike rather than i Paco de Lucdc & Septel Friday, November 19, 8 p.m. Hill Auditorium Paco de Lucia, one of the two masters of flamen guitar appearing on UMS' season, brings the fire the ancient Gypsy art back to Ann Arbor.
