Center helps
with housing
problems
By Mary Hedgpeth
Reporter
Moving into an apartment for the
first time is a big step, but Texas
A&rM’s Off Campus Center provides
services to help students make the
move a little easier.
The center, in Puryear Hall, pro
vides off campus information to as
many as 3,000 people every month,
said Kristen Sayre, center coordina
tor.
“We inform students of the differ
ent types of off campus housing,”
Sayre said.
Houses, apartments, mobile
homes, duplexes, rooms in homes
and condominiums are a few options
available, Sayre said.
The center provides a price list of
available housing in Bryan-Collegf
Station. It also supplies tenant cr ■
tracts, sublease agreements “
apartment condition forms. . T • ,

men , security and explanations of
l e ..e contracts, Sayre said.
Students wishing to avoid a bad
apartment experience can request
the resident reaction file, a compila
tion of complaints and praises of lo
cal apartments.
The center also operates a room
mate referral service.
“We don’t find roommates for
people, but we have a system where
they can do that themselves,” Sayre
said.
The center has cards that provide
detailed information on the likes,
dislikes, habits and preferences that
will help students choose a compati
ble roommate.
The center also helps students
with roommate conflicts once they
move in.
“We try to help them find ways to
deal with the situation,” Sayre said.
The center also conducts the
Freshman Contact Program at the
start of the fall semester.
The program orients incoming
freshman to the off campus experi
ence and allows them an opportu
nity to meet other off campus stu
dents, Sayre said.
“About 33 percent of the fresh
men lived off campus last year,”
Sayre said. “We feel they have the
biggest adjustment to make.”
The center’s services are available
to everyone.
“We even get calls from profes
sors who have questions,” Sayre said.
“We are a resource for the commu
nity as well as the students.”
The center also can help students
deal with landlord difficulties, she
said.
“While working with students on
landlord problems, we try to inform
them of their rights and responsibili
ties as a tenant,” Sayre said.
Helping students obtain security
deposits after they have left an
apartment is a problem the center
deals with too, Sayre said.
“In most cases, it’s just a process of
educating the students on what to
do,” she said. “But sometimes it is a
problem with landlords, and we
send the students to legal advisers.”
The center sponsors programs
throughout the semester on tenants’
rights, budgeting strategies and off
campus security.
The “Survival Manual,” a guide
published by the center, answers
questions dealing with off-campus
life.
Hill to discuss subpoenas with committee
AUSTIN (AP) — Supreme Court
Ihief Justice John Hill plans to meet
Friday with members of a House
committee that fried to subpoena
tvo associate justices, the panel’s No.
2member said Thursday.
IjState Rep. Smith Gilley, D-Green-
ville, said, “I think it’s going to be a
general information-gathering mee-
K-”
iCommittee chairman Frank Te
jeda, D-San Antonio, has said his
committee is investigating allega
tions of possible high court impro
priety in handling a request by law
yer and campaign contributor Pat
Maloney Sr. to transfer two cases
from a San Antonio appeals court.
But Gilley voiced unhappiness
that the House Judicial Affairs Com
mittee, of which he is vice chairman,
issued subpoenas for Justices C.L.
Ray and William Kilgarlin in connec
tion with that investigation.
The subpoenas should not have
been issued and the committee
should not be involved because the
State Commission on Judicial Con
duct is the proper forum for such in
vestigations, he said.
Gilley said, “If I was either one of
those judges, I would take those sub
poenas and throw them in the trash
can.”
