Stephanie Palubicki, Off-Campus Center coordina- ;or, says the staff will discuss what students can expect khen they move off campus. Students also will have the opportunity to ask any questions they may have. tudents need to know the specific things to look for n each lease, Palubicki says. Students are obligated by aw to f ulfill a lease. If the lease contains a joint liability jause, the remaining tenant will be responsible for the mtire rent. Palubicki says students are left in this situation more _ A h an most would like to think. This is one of the reasons | Cl he center has developed a roommate tenancy contract. Palubicki says each resident should fill out the te- tancy contract and each should receive a copy. This :ontract lists terms of the students’ agreement, includ- ng the period of the agreement; dollar amount for :ach resident’s rent, security deposit, and utilities; and he terms for moving out. But if this contract doesn’t work, the center of fers roommate mediation. “It starts them off, talking about things they need to liscuss,” she says. “Who’s going to make the decisions in he household? What if someone wants to bring seme me over at two in the morning?” The Off-Campus Center staff advises students to read their /eases, because, no matter how many leases a student may have read, all leases are not the same.

Students should look in their contracts lor clauses — about alteration guidelines, repairs and maintenance, subleasing or re-leasing, regulations, en try, landlord’s lien, rental escalation, joint liability utili ties, security deposit, description of the premises, and term of agreement. The Off-Campus Center stall also advises students to read their leases, because, no matter how many leases a student may have read, all leases are not the same. Students who need to find place to rent can go by the center for a list of available houses, apartments, du plexes, condominiums, rooms in homes, mobile homes and subleases. The center also provides a roommate lo cator service. Information about transportation also will be pro vided to students during these sessions. The cost of a shuttle bus pass during the 1984-85 school year was $44.50 per semester. Motorcycle permits range from $10 per semester to $30 per year, and parking permits for cars range between $ 10 and $60. The staff at these sessions also will be able to answer questions about Off-Campus Aggies, students’ legal ad visers, health services, mail, security, fee slips and bank ing or check cashing. “It has been really helpful in the past for people who have never lived off campus in Bryan-College Station before,” Palubicki says. “Students get a lot for spending about an hour and a half of their time.” to benefit from show By PAM COLEMAN Reporter A Texas A&M service club is help ing to put a little magic in the lives of needy people in the Bryan-College Station community by sponsoring a magic show Friday. “Faith in Action,” an A&M service club, will sponsor the “Stars of Mag ic” stage show benefitting the Brazos Valley Food Bank at 7:30 p.m. Fri day in the Bryan Civic Auditorium. Admission will be $5 a ticket, avail able at the door. Children under 12 will be admitted for half price. The show, which will last about two hours, will feature top magicians from around the state, including Kent Cummins, Mike the Magician, and the Great Scott and Judy. While the audience enjoys the magic and comedy, local needy fami lies will be helped through contribu tions to the food bank. Dan Warden, the coordinator of the Brazos Valley Food Bank, says the bank has been a dream of his since he first heard about food banks. Although the bank is rela tively new, it has already assisted 12 families and received about a dozen additional requests for help. The Brazos Valley Food Bank is a non-profit food distribution ware house system capable of receiving, storing and redistributing large S iantities of food to needy people in e community. It is part of a na tional food bank network designed to allow local citizens to take care of their own needs instead of relying on state and national funds, Warden says. Another goal of the food bank is to eliminate waste of edible food in the community by encouraging the food industry to donate surplus products to help feed the poor atid hungry of the community. Highlights of the magic show will include tire-eating demonstrations, levitating a person and sawing an au dience member in half. ggies to debate in national tourney By JUNE PANG Staff Writer s Avenues sp< section of planned, ness, the coi on an ordin -ate LoneStarfi sidential andc s.

[“The debaters have been spending 20 to 40 purs each week on preparing the debate since Bt summer when the topic was announced,” j aid Wayne Kraemer, debate team leader. “And I [that was in addition to regular school work they have to do.” ■ This year, the topic to debate is: “Resolved: ^mze.

In debate, the general topic is broken into sub- topics such as: • probing space to search for life on other planets, • land-sensing satellites, • or negotiations between United States and Russia on anti-satellite systems and ballistic mis sile defense. Each team has the same chance to be assigned affirmative or negative stands. The affirmative team decides the subtopic of every debate. The stand of opinions is not the issue. It’s how clearly the arguments are presented. A broad knowledge of the topic is important. “It’s like having to take another course,” Kraemer said about debate research. Other than that, good speaking skills, the abil ity to think dearly under pressure and good ana lyzing and reasoning skills are all necessary in a debate tournament, he said. Not every university can enter the national de bate tournament. Teartns are chosen for the na tional tournament in two ways. The top five fin ishers in each of nine district tournaments automatically qualify. Other teams are chosen by the national debate committee based on the re cords of applicants in two at-large selection rounds. A&M qualified as the fifth-place finisher in a district tournament in early March. The national debate tournament will include 62 teams, com peting in eight preliminary rounds. The top 16 debate teams will go to finals. The 16 finalists will then be divided into eight f iairs. The losers in the competition will tie for ifth place. The eight winners will compete in the next round. The four losers of the second round will share fourth place, and so on. Last year, the A&M team did not make it to the finals. This year, Kraemer said he is confident of going to finals but he is not optimistic about win ning. Too many universities have a long tradition of debate which enables them to accumulate ex perience that A&M does not have, he said. A&M has attended the national tournament only three times. kinko's A NATIONWIDE NETWORK OF ELECTRONIC PRINT5HOPS.
