Off-campus housing abundant;

Students looking for living space
for the summer or fall will have bet
ter luck off-campus than on. Apart
ment space for the summer or fall is
abundant, while on-campus space is
scarcer than ever.
More than 1,300 apartment units,
many with three bedrooms, are va
cant for the fall, Brenda Anderson,
assistant Student Development
Coordinator, said. She said
additional room is available because
many students have apartments but
need roommates.
Off-campus housing is even more
bountiful for the summer because of
the fewer number of students regis
tered.
This summer only six of the 31
dorms on campus are being used.
The four men’s dorms that are open
are full, but some space for women
is still available in Mosher Hall.
Even more space may be available
on campus during the second sum
mer session, as enrollment is ex
pected to be lower.
The opposite is true about on-
campus space for the fall.
“Were full,” said Ronald Sasse,
manager of the A&M Housing Of
fice. As of April 3 when on-campus
space was assigned, all 8,400 places
were taken, and 4,800 students
were put on waiting lists. Cancella
tions may have reduced this list by
as much as a third by now, Sasse
said.
However, there are also fewer
spaces available than last year.
Legett Hall will be closed next year
for complete remodeling, decreas
ing space for civilians by 178 places.
This leaves only 6,000 spaces open
for civilians this fall.
Residents challenge
nursing home study
United Press International
DALLAS — A statewide investi
gation of nursing home care has
been challenged by relatives of one
nursing home patient who charged
that officials of the Texas Depart
ment of Health used “gestapo tac
tics” in an early morning inspection
of Fireside Manor Nursing Home.
The Texas Nursing Home As
sociates Inc. Monday filed the suit
on behalf of the relatives. The suit
asks State District Judge Charles
Storey to prohibit inspections in the
middle of the night. Named as de
fendants were an assistant state at
torney general and five Department
of Health employees.
“The defendants used gestapo
tactics, were rude, abrupt, officious
and condescending toward the staff
and patients,’ during the 2 a. m. in
spection, the suit said.
The suit charged that the team,
escorted by a uniformed Dallas
police officer, awakened sleeping
patients and disturbed the staff.
It described the visit as an intru
sion and claimed it was offensive
and disturbing to patients who were
“awakened by strangers rifling their
personal belongings.”
The visit was made after a routine
inspection of the home was con
ducted under Health Department
director Lewis V. Allen.
Reports attached to the petition
said Assistant Attorney General Bill
Flanary’s team reported finding wet
and soiled beds, missing tiles in the
bathroom, roaches in the basement,
a medication room unlocked by an
aide, some patients without (nurse)
call buttons and a “terrible odor.”
The defendants are expected to
file a response to the charges .
