“There are specific steps one takes
when he has a complaint about re
pairs or maintenance,” Wooten says.
Hassle-Free doesn’t give legal
counseling or any type of legal ad
vice, Wooten said.
“The problems we deal with can
be from students or management,”
Wooten said.
Finding a Hassle-Free represen
tative isn’t much of a problem in
large apartment complexes, because
representatives post their phone
numbers and campus information on
bulletin boards at apartments.
But notices may be torn down or
become weathered.
Representatives are instructed to
deal with roommate problems, man
agement hassles, and even questions
about Q-drops and football tickets.
“Putting complaints in writing
takes more time, but it is the best
way to handle maintenance prob
lems,” said Wooten.
“I strictly show the student the
choices they have and the conse
quences of their actions,” Kling said.
“I do not act as an attorney on their
behalf. We advise and try to help
students resolve their problems in
the best possible way.”
Wooten gives the following advice
on how to survive in the “asphalt
jungle,” here:
• Be calm at all times when dealing
with apartment managers.
• Read and reread the lease to find
who is responsible for repairs.
• Make all complaints and requests
in writing and in duplicate; send a
copy and keep a copy.
• Wait a reasonable amount of time
before making a second inquiry.
• If repairs are not made, request a
written explanation and keep a dated
copy.
• if the manager won’t provide an
explanation, see Student Affairs offi
cials and make an appointment to see
the legal advisor.
• If the problem is with a roommate,
see a Hassle-Free representative
and work out the situation.
Breaking a lease creates more fi
nancial and emotional problems than
most students think.

English Department judges at
Texas A&M University are taking
entries for the second annual
Thomas F. Mayo Prize Essay Con
test. They will pick the best exposi
tory writer enrolled in English 103,
104, and 104H.
The $100 prize memorializes
Mayo, head of Texas A&M’s English
Department from 1944-52 and long
time college librarian. Mayo, one of
William Faulkner’s teachers and a
Rhodes Scholar, died in 1954.
Deadline for entries is Oct. 31.
They shouldn’t exceed 750 words.
Author of “Epicuris in England,
1650-1725,” Mayo first taught at
Texas A&M in 1916. He left to attend
Oxford University and serve in the
Naval Reserve during World War I,
but returned in 1921. He held de- ,

j While heart seizures can’t be pre-
| vented, help may be on the way for
.reducing the amount of their dam
age. Medical researchers at Texas
A&M University have studied a pre
viously little recognized factor which
magnifies damage to heart muscle as
the result of an attack.
Dr. Carl E. Jones of the College of
Medicine’s Department of Medical
Physiology is the head of a research
team studying cardiac nerve activity
in coronary occlusions.
The $100,000 project is being fi
nanced by grants from the National
Institutes of Health and the Texas
Affiliate of the American Heart As
sociation.
“It has been felt for some time that
sympathetic nervous activity may be
harmful to heart muscle following
the occlusion of an artery to the heart
(a heart attack),” Jones said recently.
“While drugs can reduce this influ
ence, the simplest and most definit
ive way to study its effect is to com
pletely remove the sympathetic
nerves to the heart.”
In performing this study, experi
mental animals whose hearts are al
most identical to the human heart
were used.
“The result indicated that follow
ing a long-term denervation, the
amount of muscle damaged by coro
nary occlusion was tremendously re
duced — reduced more than had
ever been realized with drug treat
ment, ” Jones said. “Not only was the
muscle damages less, but heart mus
cle contraction continued almost
normally. So, long-term denervation
had somehow protected the heart
against damage resulting from coro
nary occlusion.”

fects of long-term sympathetic nerve

removal, the researchers began ex
periments to define the reasons for
these effects.
“We know that following a coro
nary occlusion in humans, one of the
most important factors determining
the extent of heart damage is the
amount of blood flow to the affected
muscle from secondary channels
other than the occluded vessel —
that is, the amount of collateral blood
flow,” Jones said. “Therefore, we
reasoned that long-term removal of
sympathetic nerves to the heart may
cause an increased potential for col
lateral blood flow in the heart.
“Of course, our research is not
complete. New questions are asked
each time we answer one. The re
search is presently centered around
defining the means by which re
moval of these nerves leads to in
creased collateral blood flow. The
answers to such basic questions will
improve our ability to combat heart
disease.
