Mondale blasts ‘2 Americas’
Reagan: Program works
United Press International
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. —
President Reagan, ackowledg-
ing that the spirit of the Labor
Day holiday is marred because
millions of Americans are out of
work, said Saturday that unem
ployment must be curbed care
fully with long-range policies.
In his weekly radio address to
the nation, made outdoors in the
gravel driveway of his moun-
taintop ranch, Reagan said un
employment “has been gaining
on us for years,” but that on this
national holiday weekend nearly
100 million Americans do hold
jobs.
“That’s a terrible word, ‘un
employed,’” Reagan said. “It
means hardship, uncertainty,
frustration, helplessness.
“Many who are unemployed
feel caught up in something they
don’t understand and over
which they have no control. And
they are right. It’s not the fault
of the laid-off fellow in Detroit
that he’s out of work.”
Reagan said his economic
program “marks a decided tur
naround from government tax
and spend policies of the past
four decades” and said there are
signs his austerity management
program “is beginning to work.”
In a' nationally broadcast
Democratic response to Reagan,
Sen. Joseph Biden of Delaware
did not address the unemploy
ment issue but called for a
Cabinet-level office to combat
crime with federal money.
And former Vice President
Walter Mondale delivered a
paid radio address broadcast in
several cities to attack the presi
dent’s policies as having divided
the nation into “two Americas”
— one for the rich and the other
for the poor.
In his speech, Reagan said the
nation faces the test of whether
it has “the will and determina
tion to hold our course” — a
clear warning to a vacationing
Congress that when it recon
venes Wednesday it must act on
his veto of a federal spending
bill.
He said the $14.2 billion sup
plemental appropriations bill, if
allowed to become law, “would
drive up spending once again.
I hope we can work together
to develop a more responsible
bill.”
Some 19,000 Internal Re
venue Service workers — and
perhaps others — are to be out
of their jobs this coming week
due to Reagan’s veto, made on
grounds the bill contained too
much money for domestic prog
rams.
The Labor Department
announced Friday that the na
tion’s unemployment rate re
mained steady at 9.8 percent in
August, a figure which meant
10.8 million Americans were
officially out of work.
Reagan said the unemploy
ment problem was the result of
several decades of government
bungling.
‘I guess what I am trying to
nem ploy-
point out is that our unemploy
ment problem is due to more
than just the present recession,”
he said.
“We must not only work our
way out of the recession; we
must adopt policies that will sti
mulate economic growth and
create new jobs for the increased
numbers entering the job mar
ket. This is the goal of our eco
nomic recovery program.”

The Off Campus Corner —

Inside
Connection
Approximately two-thirds of the Aggie student popula
tion lives off campus. Many off campus students tell us that
they don't know about campus events and express the
need for a "connection” between themselves and campus
life.
This connection is provided for you each month in the
"Off Campus Comer." This column is sponsored by the
Off Campus Center in the Department of Student Affairs
and Loupot's Bookstore. The "Off Campus Corner" will
contain articles and tips regarding off campus living such as
information on security deposits, preleasing, apartment
security and roommates. The column will also provide off
campus students with information concerning campus
events and activities.
As you read the "Off Campus Corner" each month, we
would like to encourage you to submit any questions,
comments, or ideas that you may have. We invite you to
bring your ideas by the Off Campus Center in Puryear Hall,
directly across from the YMCA Building, or give us a call at
845-1741. Feel free to call or come by Monday through
Friday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.
At the end of each semester,
many students express com
plaints about their security de
posits. These deposits usually
range from $50.00 to $200.00
per person. If you do not take
the precautions necessary to
insure the return of your de
posits, you may have a lot to
lose.
Most of these requirements,
which are identified in your
lease, must be met approxi
mately 30 days prior to the
"move-out" date. However,
there is something that you, as a
tenant, can do now. This step
involves completing a move-in
condition form, or move-in in
ventory. This inventory sheet
reflects the actual condition of
each room in your apartment
upon move in.
After completing the move-
in condition form, be sure to
have the apartment manager
sign it, and keep a copy of the
document for your files. You
don't want to be charged for
something, such as nail holes
in your living room walls, just
because you failed to write it
down. This will also provide
proof of the apartment's origi
nal condition if a discrepancy
arises when the time comes for
you to move out.
So to help insure the return
of your security deposit, com
plete a move-in condition form
today!

the desire to meet people and become involved in campus activities. The Off
Campus Center in conjunction with the Off Campus Aggies and several area
property management companies would like to give you a chance to meet
your neighbors and become involved. During September and October,
several parties will be held at various apartment complexes within the
Bryan/College Station area. These get togethers are designed specifically for
incoming freshmen who want to meet fellow students, listen to music, and
have some fun. If you're interested in having a good time, you should make
plans to attend the Fish Night in your area. Check the Off Campus Calendar

the perfect solution. On Wednesday, September 8, from 11:00 a.m. to 2

feature various local musicians. Students are encouraged to bring a sack
lunch and listen to the music. In case of rain, the musicians will perform in
the MSC lounge. (Due to University rules, brown bags are not allowed in the
MSC.)
IT'S ELECTION TIME AGAIN! Apartment president elections will
be conducted on Thursday, September 16 for all students interested in
representing their apartment complex through Off Campus Aggies. Becom
ing the president of your complex is a great way to get involved. Contact the
OCA cubicle, room 216 MSC for details or call the Off Campus Center at 845-
1741.
Loupot's Off Campus Comer is sponsored each month by
Loupot's Bookstore at Northgate as a service to Texas A&M stu
dents. Stories and artwork are provided by the staff of the Off
Campus Center.
