Office schedulei
help for housini
About 50 students responded
Thursday to a help session on off-
campus housing, and Texas A&M of
ficials have scheduled another for
Jan. 11 to coincide with transfer and
new student orientation.
The sessions are designed to an
swer questions and give suggestions
on leasing, subletting or better pair
ing of roommates in off-campus
housing for the spring semester.
The target has been to handle as
many of the spring semester prob
lems as possible before the start of
the Christmas-New Year’s break.
The'student off-campus referral
center of the Student Affairs Office
is conducting the sessions. Morej
formation is available from the®,
ter in Room 106, YMCA Bui
They are trying to help i
campus students with as manyoj
tions as possible. The easiest, ti;
most overlooked, is roomnuti
swapping.
“Swapping is good because itj
less work for the students, andn%
agers are usually happy since!
doesn’t involve someone beingle{
behind to pay all the rent.’ssij
Debe McCandless, student direct
of the center.

Joe Car’ hits skids

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. —
Last spring a smiling young car
salesman calling himself Joe Car put
everything he had into printing a

"I used to be too
uncomfortable to do
much of anything when I
had my menstrual
period. It was like losing
at least three days every
month. Then, last year, I
switched to Tampax
tampons. Now I'm
always on the go."
Making every day
count is what Tampax
tampons are all about.
They eliminate chafing,
bulk and bulges. In fact,
once the tampon is prop
erly in place, you can't
even feel it's there.
And Tampax
tampons are uniquely
designed to conform to
individual vaginal con
tours. Which means
there's less chance of
leakage or bypass.
With Tampax
tampons you get a lot
more days out of the
year. And a lot more fun
out of life.
