Ken Russell, with the Off-Campus Center, said the presentations are designed to inform students of po tential problems when moving from a dorm to an apartment. “Students need to know what they will be facing when they move off campus,” Russell said. Tne program, offered twice each year, will emphasize what students should know about a lease, how to choose a roommate and how to lo cate a place to live, he said. “Our program is there to aid the student,Russell said. “This is the first time that the presentation will be held in the fall. We need to be fair to the student who will be moving off campus between semesters. “Most students move off in the spring, but in-coming transfer stu dents or students who have their own reasons for moving off campus have a right to this information. For as many students there are as many reasons why they move off campus.’ 1 Because of these reasons, the seminars will feature a question and answer period. “After the presentation, there will be 45 minutes in which the audience may ask questions," Russell said. “These will be answered on a per sonal basis since the speaker is also an off-campus student/’ contract or that there could be con flicts with roommates. Besides preparing for poteii conflicts with roommates, the “ Campus Center advises students I thoroughly inspect and examinetl* places where they might live.

And you don’t have to worry about not using all of the coupons because you pick the coupons of your choice.” venture, he also sees it as a businesj opportunity. Barry Rudd, a member of ENVE, found out about Empire Unlimited, a company in El Paso that sells cou pon books. The company buys a manufacturer’s overflow of cents-off coupons and puts them in a catalog. The company then distributes the catalogs to its representatives in cit ies across Texas: Rudd says the process begins with a catalog of more than 2,000 cou pons. The catalog is divided into dif ferent product sections. A person picks out $30 worth of coupons, fills out an order form and sends it into the company, Rudd says. “Young people want to malt money now, ’ he says.“We have ik| ability and the skills now. Thai 1 what the entrepreneur spirit doeslt people.” Every month the person will re ceive an order form, he says. The person can either change his original order or simply return the form.
