the Drrp South, the Southwest and the
West.
Now. with a primary win in his column,
the challenger has the headway to make
sure his campaign gets to those states. He
has demonstrated he can heat Ford, and
that is important psychologicalh and finan-
csaOy.'There is nothing like a victory to
bring out the political checkbooks.
Reagan fundraisers can point to these
North Carolina figures:
Reagan 1Q1.448 or 52 per cent of the
vote.
Ford 88.924 or 4fi per cent.
No preference, which means uncommit
ted delegate^, 3.345 «a 2 per cent.
That won Reagan 28 Republican
nominating votes. Ford 25. with one un
committed.
Nationally. Ford now has 206. Reagan
81. It will take 1,130 votes to choose the
COP nominee.
In the Democratic primary, the results
were:
Carter 321,066 or 54 per cent.
Wallace 209,807 or 35 per cent.
Jackson 25.698 or 4 per cent.
No preference 22.585 or 4 per cent.
Cdafl. former Sen. Fred R. Harris and
Sen. Lloyd M. Bentsen of Texas, a cam
paign drop-out. trailed ifi*that order.
Carter captured 36 convention votes, to
put his national total at 167. Wallace got 25.
which made his total 86. The magic number
at the Democratic national convention will
be 1,505.
Ford won five primaries in a row before
Reagan stopped him in North Carolina.
The President had expected a close race
in North (amilina. hut he expeeted to win,
so naturally he is disappointed." said White
House Press Secretary Ron Nessen.

Kkectrical rates, like occupancy rates,
fluctuate wildly. As a result, the last four
apartment complexes built have had indi
vidual meters installed, Martell said.
Then* is no charge for the installation of
electrical meters but the cost of wiring is
alNHit $150 per apartment. The use of sepa
rate meters prevents thrifty students from
suffering from higher rates because of their
neighbror’s wastefulness, say apartment
ow-ners.
A similiar situation exists in laibbock.
where the apartment industry is affected by
the influx of Texas Tech students. The
apartment association there has 170 mem
bers and represents 200 complexes. An as
sociation spokesman said most owners four
to five months ago decided to install sepa
rate meters in their complexes.
Many apartment owners in College Sta

new utilities contract proposal .to the Col
lege Station City Council two months ago.
Tin* contract would raise present rates 30
per cent.
In addition to electrical hills, some stu
dents may be paying a separate rent for
furniture. Several smaller apartment com
plexes only have unfurnished units. If a
student has no furniture, or only a few
pieces, he or she may rent some from one of
two local furniture rental companies
One company charges $29 per month for
a set of furniture for a one liedroom apart
ment, $42 for a two liedroom apartment
and $55 for a three bedroom apartment.
In College Station, apartment owners
cover their annual costs from September to
May when occupancy rates are as high as 90
per c-ent. During the summer, occupancy is
usually around 50 per cent. Thus, apart
ment expenditures must he covered
through higher rents during the high occu
pancy period, the owners reason.
According to information .gathered hy
the Student Affairs Office, rent has in the
past have increased eight per cent each
year. General estimates for next year s
rents list a range ol $ 160 to $230 per month
for a one bedroom-one liuth apartment. For
a two bedroom one* hath apartment, the
range is $175 to $260. For a two bedroom-
two |>ath apartment, the range is $220 to
$.330.
Beginning the second week in April, a
daily list of all vacancies in the various
apartment complexes will he posted out
side room 108 in the YMCA Building.
An apartment locator and placement
service are listed in the Bryan-College Sta
tion telephone directory. Their services to
apartment hunters are jtree. However, a
commission is paid to the locator and
placement services by local apartment
owners.
