The center maintains an up-to-date listing of available housing in the Bryan-College Station area, including apartments, houses, duplexes and trailers, and periodically surveys price list ings in the area. Roommate locator services are provided by the center along with roommate sessions which are designed to help students find com patible roommates. A pamphlet, “You Are Your Roommate’s Roommate” is published by the center to serve as a guide to the sessions. Students experiencing problems with room mates can receive counseling from the staff at the center, which can be beneficial since the Student’s Legal Adviser is unable to represent a student against another student in roommate disputes. When students encounter problems with landlords, the center can advise the students on their basic rights as tenants on questions concerning such matters as maintenance and leases. The center also sponsors programs on va rious types of problems from budgeting to security. A program is being developed to keep off-campus students who live at home with parents better informed of University activities. In helping to fight the high cost of driving a car to campus, the center also handles a car pool referral service for students living in close proximity of one another. > Legal advisers offer free consultation to students By BERNIE FETTE Battalion StafT You really believe you’ve been cheated. You think you may have a case against a business. You and your landlord could really use some good legal advice — but there’s one problem. You’ve got no cash. It’s just these types of situations that come to the attention of the Student Legal Adviser’s office. The most common questions brought to Jim Locke and Dan Usiak, the office’s two attorneys, concern landlord-tenant problems. But the great majority of those problems never end up as law suits, Locke said. “Students usually represent themselves in J. P. (Justice of the Peace) or small claims actions,” Locke said. “Our office advises the student on his chances in court.” Locke said the advisers are not allowed to appear in court with the students in any criminal proceedings but they may help the student arrange a defense. The Student Legal Advisers will not advise in any cases of student-against-student disagree ments because they believe it is unfair. Nor will they represent a student against Texas A&M University, but they will help guide the student in resolving problems with a particular department of the University. When a student wishes to pursue any action the attorneys may advise private counsel, Locke said. Locke said that in most cases, whenever those actions do end up in court, the student is at least partially successful. “It’s highly unusual to get all of what may have been initially sought,” Locke said. “But about 90 percent get at least some settlement. to appeal a ie recipient feelil warranted, isj* registered andiit cles. ,f I must be filed ty Police willii elate of the violali ) don’t comply >n rules evoked andcMlJ un driving a vel ijCampiis Names lyi David L.
