Housing
(continued from page 1)
McCullough says the cost of
living in married student hous
ing is raised because the build
ings are poorly insulated.
“We don’t have much insula
tion in most of the units,” he
says, “and there are huge win
dows in them. The walls are
made of concrete and sheet
rock so the cold and heat come
through like there’s no walls at
all.”
Nicolas says all the buildings
coniform to state and local
building codes in every way.
The Avenue “A” complex in
particular is designed so the
large windows face the prevail
ing winds, to help keep the
rooms cool in summer and re
duce the need for air-condition-
ing.
In addition, McCullough says
several of the complexes are
badly in need of renovation.
Four years ago a balcony fell off
one of the complexes and all the
others were removed as a pre
caution. Other complexes are
plagued with leaky roofs.
Nicolas says a one million
dollar renovation project, to be
gin some time in the summer,
will fix the roofs. Aiumihum
siding also will be added to keep
away bats which have been at
tracted to a building’s cedar fa
cade.
McCullough says the cost of
renovating is being passed on to
the tenants.
“I can see how they need the
money,” McCullough says, “It
was a mistake that someone
made eight years ago. What I
want is for them to be careful so
they don’t make anymore.”
McCullough says that in the
opinion of the Married Student
Apartment Council the Univer
sity is about to make another
mistake. McCullough says
changes proposed for the reno
vation of the Avenue “A” com
plex will not make it an any
more desirable place to live.

just take anyone off the street.
As they raise the rent, they’ll
have less and less tenants to
generate the income they need
to renovate.”
His concern is that the newly
renovated units will lie empty
and the present tenants’ rates
will have to be raised to make
up the difference.
“It used to be that you had to
sign up a year in advance,” Mc
Cullough says, “ and even then
you kind of took what you could
get. Now they’ll pretty much
Nicolas denies any vacancy

United Press International
BOSTON — A 90-minute
television dramatization of the
events surrounding the Big
Dan’s Tavern gang rape is be
ing prepared for national distri
bution in the fall of 1984, the
Metromedia Television Station
group said Tuesday.
The proposed docu-drama
would recreate the events of
March 6, 1983, in the now-
closed New Bedford tavern
where a woman was gang raped
on a pool table, said S. James
Coppersmith, vice president
and general manager of
WCVB-TV.
Four men were sentenced to
to 12 years in state prison
Monday for their conviction on
aggravated rape charges. Two
other men were acquitted.
The incident and trial at
tracted worldwide attention be
cause of what a prosecutor
called “an explosion of violence,
brutality and immorality.”
Coppersmith said the pro
duction also will look at the trial
and the reaction of the Portu
guese community who believed
the defendants were the subject
of ethnic discrimination.
The program will be pro
duced in conjunction with
Thomas McCann Associates.

Loans for
everything.
BrazosBanc loans money for nearly every
thing: cars, boats, real estate, businesses, travel,
education, expansion, inventory, emergencies and
plenty of other things. We loan money to nearly
everyone—even those families and businesses who
really need it.
Little businesses become big businesses
because of good ideas. Young families become finan
cially independent by learning good money manage
ment. During the early years, in nearly every case, a
banker helped when they really needed help.
If that kind of banking is what you need, bring
your dreams to BrazosBanc. We’d like to loan you the
funds you need to grow—even if you need it.
Even if
you need the
money.
