The Off- Campus Center staff telephones as many as 70 apartment complexes in College Station and Bryan every two weeks to determine the number of vacant units available. ‘‘Right now it looks like there definitely will be an excess of hous ing in the fall, Rees said. This, however, does not mean that students will get their first choice of an apartment, house, dup lex or mobile home. Margie Isabell, a representative of Marcal, Inc., said there are no fall vacancies in the 756 College Station and Bryan units managed by Mar cal, Inc. To find out about off-campus housing that is available, Rees said students should stop by the Off- Campus Center located in the Puryear Lounge across the street from the YMCA building. The Off-Campus Center keeps updated lists of vacancies in 70 area apartment buildings, Rees said. In addition, the center maintains a card file listing of duplexes and houses available for this fall. The center also can assist students looking for roommates, Rees said. Students fill out a card listing name, address, class and housing Apartments in College Station vary greatly Battalion photo by Pat O’Malley This is one of the less expensive models. needs. The cards are then filed by class standing and sex. Any student may come by the center and search through the cards for a roommate, Rees said. During the summer, the center compiles lists of people searching for roommates and mails them to every student who filled out a roommate card. Rees said the cen ter mails about 1,000 of these lists every month during the summer. “This way, every student should have a roommate by the beginning of fall classes,” she said. ‘‘But, for those who don’t they should stop by the center. ” In addition to the housing and roommate lists, the Off-Campus Center also publishes the “Off- Campus Living Survival Manual.” The manual contains tips on how to get along with roommates, how to choose an apartment with transpor tation alternatives in mind, the ins and outs of leases and security depo sits, and some estimates on the cost of off-campus living. Students also are encouraged to volunteer for the Hassle-Free pro gram sponsored by the Department of Student Affairs through the Off- Campus Center, Rees said. Hassle-Free is an information and referral service maintained by stu dents living off-campus. Students representing the various apart ments, duplexes and mobile homes in the area are trained to act as liaisons between other off-campus students and apartment residents and managers, Rees said. With the increased number of students living off-campus this fall, Rees said Hassle-Free needs more student representatives. Applica tions for Hassle-Free representa tives can be picked up at the Off- Campus Center and will be distrib uted during fall registration, Rees said. Hassle-Free training for the fall is planned for Sept. 7 and 8 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in Rudder Tower 504. OfF-campus living, in apartments like this, of fers luxury for those willing to pay the price. Some other apartments do not live up to ex pectations. Battalion photo by Pat O’Malley Man uses T-shirts, posters in anti-smoking campaign Los Angeles celebrates 100th year trying to limit ‘adult entertainment’ United Press International LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles ibserved a different kind of anniver- iary the other day — KM) years of tying, mostly unsuccessfully, to tamp out or control the world’s )ldest profession and its satellite ac tivities. The City Council took note of the centennial by making yet another attempt to limit “adult entertain- nent. ’’ It passed an ordinance prohibit- ng sex-oriented enterprises within K) feet of each other or within feet of any religious institution, chool or public park. The aim is to catter these activities throughout he city instead of allowing them to 'roup in a “combat zone” or red- ight district. A century ago, in July 1878, an mendment was passed by the iommon Council — precursor to he present City Council — in a vain fat to enforce an 1874 ordinance, “hat ordinance was the first to name nd prohibit “houses of ill-fame and irostitution in certain parts of the ity.” At first the City of the Angels saw ittle attempt to control vice by imerican authority after the 1848 ictory in the Mexican War. Possibly the most disreputable on he U.S. frontier, the tough and iolent pueblo passed few measures o control individual conduct. Ordi- lances that managed to pass re erred to misbehavior in a conve- liently vague fashion. Growth and prosperity in the 870s prompted an editorial “de- ency” campaign by the Los Angeles Star. Inspired citizens pro- ested immoral conditions. Encouraged by petitions, the Common Council approved a vice control ordinance in 1874. By law, brothel-keepers and streetwalkers were ordered to move outside the central business area to the streets along its edge. Later amendments tried unsuc cessfully to push the redlight district farther away or to prohibit it al together. Sin continued to skirt the Plaza until 1909 when the wide-open days came to an end. Bawdy houses were closed and scarlet women were scat tered by a city “good government” reform campaign. Vice was no longer openly toler ated by authorities. Instead, it went underground and flourished illeg ally. After the 1965 Watts riot, hustlers abandoned the central city areas for Hollywood and circulated through the suburbs, vice officers report. Massage parlors boomed in those regions until an April 1976 ordi nance forced them to meet police commission licensing standards. Many establishments assumed disguises to escape regulation. In August 1977, a one-year moratorium banned the opening of new massage parlors along with adult bookstores, arcades and theat ers. This gave the City Council time to draw up its present ruling. Officials are reportedly more hopeful than usual the new, “anti combat” zoning regulation will pre serve city neighborhoods from this old and entrenched form of “adult” blight. United Press International DETROIT — Michael Farkas is using catchy T-shirts, memo pads and posters in his campaign to con vince young people to kick the ciga rette habit. The items show a gasping smoker, with a bilious green face and shock ing pink tongue. A cigarette hangs from one side of the drooping mouth and smoke surrounds the face. “Personal Pollution, Who Needs It?” reads the accompanying mes sage. Farkas, 35, a Livonia, Mich.,life insurance salesman who . stopped smoking a year ago, launched his personal campaign after seeing statistics that showed a rise in the number of youthful smokers. “In recent years, there has been a shocking increase in the number of young people — teenagers and even younger — who smoke, he said. The T-shirts and other items were created to catch the eyes of young sters. “All kids buy T-shirts,” he said. “They might not listen to lectures or pay attention to statistics, but they wear T-shirts and notice posters. “I’m not trying to tell anybody how to behave, but it is unbelieva ble how much better I feel since I quit,” said Farkas, who has spent $1,000 so far in his campaign. “I want to get up on the rooftop and tell everybody how wonderful it is. “If I can get that message across to just one young person, I will feel well repaid for my efforts.” Farkas, who played football while a student at the University of De troit, said he quit smoking when he became volunteer assistant football coach at Livonia Bentley High School in suburban Detroit. “At that time, I was smoking quite heavily,” he said. “The idea of my never having a cigarette terrified me. ” He used “aversion therapy” to quit cold turkey. “I concentrated on the repulsive aspects of smoking: the way you smell, the cost, how it was affecting my wind and my general physical well-being,” he said. “Every waking hour I reinforced in my mind the image of how much better off I’d be if I quit smoking. In his campaign to see youngsters quit smoking and prevent others from taking the first puff, Farkas wants to see the T-shirts sold in area high schools.
