Some residents to get
help with December bill
By KARL PALLMEYER
Reporter
Managers of several apart
ment complexes say they will
help students who have re
ceived unusually high electric
bills because of the record cold
in December.
The heat in many complexes
was turned on during the cold
snap, even though most of the
tenants were away on Christmas
vacation, to protect pipes and
indoor plants.
Assistant Student Legal Ad
viser Matthew T. Nancarrow
said one group of students has
told him they plan to file a suit
against its complex. Nancarrow
would not give the names of the
students or the complex and, as
of last week, no such suit had
been filed in Brazos County.
Nancarrow said the complexes
have a responsibility to share
the cost since turning up the
heat protected the property of
the apartment owners.
A Battalion reporter sur
veyed 44 apartment complexes
in College Station. Of those sur
veyed, eight said they would be
willing to help tenants on an in
dividual basis if they would
bring in their bills. They did
not, however, specify how much
help they would give their ten
ants. The others gave varied an
swers, such as:
• They turned up the heat
only in vacant apartments.
• They only turned up the
heat if the tenants called and
asked them to.
• They asked the tenants to
turn up the heat before they
left.
• They pay all utilities, so it
doesn’t matter.
• They drained the pipes to
prevent freezing.
• They left the water run
ning in the pipes to prevent
freezing.
Casa del Sol Manager Shirley
Hernandez says most of her
tenants were glad that their
heat was turned up. The pipes
above one apartment had burst
and flooded the apartment be
low, so the tenants realized the
danger, she says. She says the
electric bills are higher, but the
tenants were content to pay a
little extra for electricity rather
than trying to replace posses
sions that could have been dam
aged.
Pete Burkett, property man
ager for Metro Properties, says
that by turning on the heat, his
company has saved the prop
erty of both the tenants and the
landlords. Metro, which con
trols Aurora Gardens, Scandia,
Sevilla and Taos apartments, is
willing to help its tenants if they
bring the bills to their apart
ment manager’s office and ask
for an adjustment, he says.
The managers of Brook-
wood, Cripple Creek, Planta
tion Oaks and Tree House
apartments also say they will
help their tenants if they ask for
an adjustment.

New England losses have
Mondale fighting in South
United Press International
Walter Mondale, fighting to
come back in the South from his
New England reverses, wdn en
dorsement Wednesday from
the first family of civil rights in
Atlanta and attacked the rights
record of surging Gary Hart.
Mondale, seeking to shake
off Hart’s third victory in seven
days — a runaway in Vermont’s
non-binding “beauty contest”
primary Tuesday — got the
public support of Coretta Scott
King and Martin Luther King
Sr., the wife and father of the
late civil rights leader.
The former vice president
took the occasion to charge that
Hart had a blemish on his civil
rights record — a May 15, 1979,
vote not to restore an embargo
of Rhodesian chrome.
“I fought to reimpose that
embargo, and my opponent
voted to prevent the reimposi
tion of that embargo,” he de
clared. “There’s a difference, a
deep difference in our commit
ment to this most profound is
sue.”
Mondale said later he was not
charging that Hart has an anti-
civil rights record, only that “it’s
a question of intensity and com
mitment.”
He also defended meeting
with Alabama Gov. George

Wallace, once the nemesis of
civil rights. Mondale said Wal
lace has accepted the change in
the South “in good grace” and
“he’s said himself he made a
mistake” about his segregation
ist past.
Hart, who campaigned
among union workers and stu
dents in Birmingham Wednes
day, responded to Mondale’s at
tack, saying, “I don’t think that
the negative Mondale campaign
is going to work because Fritz
Mondale doesn’t believe it him
self.
“Fritz Mondale ... knows that
I am as committed to civil rights
as he is; he knows that I have
just as deep feelings for human
needs and needs of this country
as he does.”
In Washington, a spokeswo
man for Hart said his staff was
not clear what vote Mondale
was citing, but a review of
Hart’s record showed he "con
sistently” supported the em
bargo in a dozen votes on the is
sue.
Hart produced a landslide in
Vermont Tuesday following
earlier wins in New Hampshire
in Maine. With all votes
counted, he had 51,703, 71 per
cent. Mondale got 14,896, or 20
percent, and Jackson, now in
peril of losing federal matching
funds, 5,677 or 8 percent.
In campaigning Wednesday,
John Glenn, all but the forgot

1984 Democratic presidi
nomination, picked up
may be the highesi-ranl
