Lawyer gives talk

on leases, tenants
Student lawyer Robert Rutledge
answered complaints from student
apartment dwellers in an informal
talk on lease contracts and tenant
rights Tuesday night.
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

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.

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.

Two world conferences on food and population, in Bucharest and Rome
have failed to come up with any positive solutions to these problems.
TAMU is now going to take a whack at it Monday when the “Population
Growth and World Food Supply Conference” opens on the TAMU campus.
The conference under the auspices of the Tropical Studies Program was
initiated by faculty and students aware ofTAMU’s contribution to world food
production.
A guest speaker will keynote the conference. Milo Cox, recent senior
official for the Agency for International Development, will speak on “Ap
proaches to the Solution at 3 p.m. Monday on the third floor of the Rudder
Tower.
The conference begins at 1 p.m. Monday with registration on the third
floor of the Rudder Center. There is no registration fee.

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.
