court — the Frank Erwin Special
Events Center in Austin.
Meanwhile, Old Dominion
dropped to No. 2, though the Mon-
archs received 20 first-place votes
and 1,112 points.
No. 3 Long Beach State received
two first-place votes and 1,067
points, just ahead of No. 4 Louisiana
Tech, 17-0, which jumped from
sixth to fourth with 12 first-place
ballots and 1,063 points.
The Lady Techsters, who are the
last unbeaten team in Division I, will
travel to Long Beach State Thursday
night for a game that will be critical
in terms of the top eight seeds in the
NCAA tournament.
Georgia, which received the re
maining first-place vote, stayed fifth
with 9/3 points. Northeast Loui
siana, whose unbeaten streak was
ended by Louisiana Tech in over
time last week, fell from fourth to
sixth.
Mississippi stayed seventh, while
Ohio State exchanged places with
Southern California and moved a
step up to eighth. It is the highest
ranking ever for a Big Ten team.
The two-time defending NCAA
champions’ drop to ninth is their
lowest position in the rankings since
March of 1981. The Women of Troy
also were placed in danger of leaving
the top 10 for the first time in Cheryl
Miller’s career after losing at home
to San Diego State 61-59 Monday
night.
Auburn completed the first half
of the list by remaining 10th.
No one was banished in the sec
ond 10. The teams occupying those
positions are No. 11 Western Ken
tucky, No. 12 Penn State, No. 13
Texas Tech, No. 14 Washington,
No. 15 Virginia, No. 16 San Diego
State, No. 17 Kentucky, No. 18 St.
Joseph’s, No. 19 Oklahoma and No.
20 Memphis State.
Texas Tech and Washington
reached all-time highs for their re
spective programs.
The second 10 last week were
Western Kentucky, Penn State, San
Diego State, Texas Tech, Kentucky,
Washington, Virginia, St. Joseph’s,
Oklahoma and Memphis State.

making progress on their degrees
and graduating. That statistic
makes us more satisfied than any
game victory could ever do; I
think it's a real tribute to the type
of athlete we have here at Notre
Dame.
“As I said before, this school is
a special place,” Heisler contin
ued. “We feel the key to having
athletes who feel that they ‘be
long’ at Notre Dame lies in the re
cruiting. The type of athlete we
want and who will be happy here
is not the type of athlete that will
be impressed with fancy dorms
and fancy food. In fact, the
dorms here, for the most part,
are rather small and plain.
“But the athletes that come to
Notre Dame are attracted by the
quality of education they receive
here. A Notre Dame diploma
means a lot to these guys.”
Heisler said, despite the
school’s illustrious football his
tory, the legacy most important
to the administration and coach
ing staff is vocational rather than
athletic.
“Unlike almost every other
major university in the country,
we don’t have a list of our former
players that played or are playing
in the pros,” he said. “We would
much rather publish a list of play
ers that have gone on to become
doctors, lawyers and productive
members of society. That would
be a lot more to our credit than a
guy who chose to display his God-
given talents here until he moved
on to the pros.
“We are not a pro-football
prep school and I don’t think we
ever will be,” Heisler stated.

After you sign on the dotted line
This time of year many A&M stu
dents have placed their “John
Hancock” on an apartment lease
for the first time and many stu
dents that signed their lease
months (or years) ago have for
gotten exactly what that contract
meant. These are a few tips and
reminders to make life easier
after one has “signed on the dotted line.”
The Basics
1) Keep a copy of the lease signed by you and the landlord. The
lease is the most important set of rules to follow if you have a dis
agreement or misunderstanding with your landlord.
2) Make a checklist of conditions of the apartment and furniture
when you move in. Sign the checklist and have your landlord sign it
also. Keep a dated copy of the checklist for defense in any dispute over
deductions for repairs when you move out.
3) Keep your rent payment current as required by your lease. You
should not withhold rent for any reason, since that could result in evic
tion and liability for payment of the remaining rent.
Taking Care of Repairs
1) If the lease requires the management to make repairs, give your
landlord a written notice (a work order filled out by the management is
not sufficient) requesting that specific repairs be made. Make a dupli
cate copy and have the manager sign both copies. Be sure to keep a
copy for your files, ft the manager refuses to sign the request for re
pairs, send the notice by certified mail. This costs about $1.50 at any
post office and includes a returned receipt showing that the manager
received the notice.
2) If the lease does not include a clause that covers repairs, the law
most often requires the management to repair conditions that
materially affect the health and safety of the ordinary resident. Write to
inform the manager of the needed repairs, and keepLa dated copy.
3) Submit a second written notice if repairs have not been made or
if there is no reponse within a reasonable time. In your second written
notice, indicate your intent to terminate unless repairs are completed
within one week’s time (this time period may vary from lease to lease).
Getting Your Security Deposit Back
The requirements for return of your deposit are outlined in the se
curity deposit section of your lease. These requirements are usually as
follows:
1) Give written notice of intent to vacate at least 30 days prior to the
ending date of the lease.
2) Occupy the unit for the entire lease term.
3) Clean the apartment in accordance with the move-out cleaning
instructions.
4) Pay all rent according to the terms of the lease.
5) Give your landlord your forwarding address in writing.
You must fulfill all of these requirements for your security
deposit to be refunded. When you are ready to move out,
make an appointment with the manager to jointly inspect
the apartment and compare the condition of the unit
with the Move-In Condition Inventory form that you
completed at the beginning of your lease term. Have
the manager sign and date the Move-Out Condition
Inventory form. Keep a copy for your records. If you
feel there may be a discrepancy, you may also want to
take photographs to prove the apartment’s condition.
The owner is required by law to return your security deposit within
30 days or to provide you with an itemized list of deductions. If your de
posit or the list of itemized deductions is not received within 30 days,
notify your owner/manager and request an explanation. If you are un
satisfied with the response, then contact the Student’s Legal Advisor
located in Bizzell Hall or contact the Off Campus Center located in Pur-
year Hall.
