Addressing an audience of about 25, Rutledge outlined the present Texas laws concerning lease con tracts and tenant rights. Addition ally, he outlined the procedures for settling lease problems. 'You’ve got to throw your weight around,” said Rutledge. He added CAU ON VS FOR UNIVERSITY CENTER Your own personal travel agency on campus 846-3773 TOWNSHIRE SHOPPING CENTER 1907 Texas Ave., Bryan 823-0961 BEVERLEY BRALEY UNIVERSITY TRAVEL that students aren’t being forceful enough when they have complaints about their apartments. Most of the students attending the meeting had complaints about present conditions in area apart ment complexes. These ranged from lease wordings to roommate disagreements. Rutledge, in response to a ques tion about a roommate moving out, said that he is presently drafting a form that roommates could sign to protect each other’s rights. The newly hired legal adviser said, “It usually isn’t economically feasible to take a complaint to court, it’s really just a matter of economics.’’ Many of the students present asked about the advisability of br inging court action against the apartment complexes because of tenant problems. Rutledge said that a lease need not be in writing if it covers a period of less than 12 months, contrary to popular belief. He also warned ol the problems of oral contracts. This was the first of several talks Rutledge has planned to inform stu dents of the laws. ( Campus briefs ] Beaumont awaiting Bell suit decision BEAUMONT, Tex. (AP) — The city council deferred action Tuesday on a Southwestern Bell Telephone Go. rate increase because of allega tions made in a sensational civil suit filed in San Antonio. The civil suit alleged that South western Bell keeps two sets of hooks — one for its own information and another to present when asking city councils for rate increases. The $26 million suit was brought by the family of T. O. Gravitt, former top Bell official in Texas, and James H. Ashley, a former high ex ecutive in the San Antonio Bell of fice. The Beaumont City Council stressed that its action Tuesday was no reflection on the company loc ally. Mayor pro tern Calvin Williams said the postponement mainly was for clarification in view of the atten tion centered on the San Antonio case. Williams said the city attorney will be asked to report to the council on legal aspects of the San Antonio court allegations in relation to the Beaumont rate increase application. The company is seeking an 8.5 per cent increase in revenue in the Beaumont metropolitan area. A consultant employed by the city has recommended that the increase he granted.

Tapestries GflG GIFTS Professor to discuss Indians Step the mwl circle: hartt The TAMU Geographical Society inaugurates a series of public lectures on Thursday evening, November 21, at 7:30 p. m., Geosciences 105, with a talk by Professor Campbell W. Pennington of the Department of Geog raphy. Professor Pennington will comment on the way in which the Tarahumar, the most important surviving remnant of aboriginal northwest ern Mexican Indians, utilize what they value as a resource. The Tarahumar number about 50,000, and more or less permanent contacts between Spaniard, mestizo and Indian for more than 300 years have failed to alter many aspects of Tarahumar life. To a great degree these Indians have remained geopolitically and culturally isolated from the main stream of Mexican cultural life. The landscape, agriculture, house types and manufactures will be discussed via slides taken during the past twenty years by Professor Pen nington.
