Move off campus should
be planned, adviser sayL,
By Laura White
Reporter
Living off campus can be a gr eat
experience if its gone about in a
carefully planned and responsible
way, an off-campus adviser said
Tuesday night.
Nancy Thompson, from the
Texas A&M Off Campus Center,
talked about finding a place to live
off campus, dealing with leases and
choosing roommates to approxi
mately 50 students in a presentation
titled “Making the Transition.”
The Off Campus Center is a good
place to start finding information on
roommates and apartments, and it's
often an untapped resource,
Thompson said.
Locator services also are good
Mmrces of information on available
apartments, she said.
“You’ve got to be careful, because
sdtne locator services are free of
charge and some are not, but gener
ally) locator services are very, very
helpful,” she said. “You can give
them specifics about what you want
in an apartment and they can pro
vide you with a list of places they
think would suit your needs.
“Things to keep in mind are the
number of bedrooms you want, the
number of people living in the
apartment and the location to camp
us.”
A little research can help a stu
dent make the final decision about
where to live.
make sure you get everythin
writing and on the lease belort
sign it,” Thompson said.
“Walk around the complex and
talk to people already Living there,”
she said. “Ask them about the man
agement, the condition of the apart
ment and grounds and about the re
pairs they’ve needed. Also, it’s a
good idea to look in the Off Campus
Center and see if anyone’s registered
any complaints about the complex
before you sign a lease.
The lease is a legally binding
tract between you and your
lor d, hut also between you and
roommates, so you wanUopm
of thought into who youTegoi
live with before you signaleast
said.
“Keep a copy of your lease and
your apartment condition inventory
form, and also all repair requests in
writing so the landlord can’t mistak-
ingly blame you for something you
didn’t do - that can sometimes lead
to the management reporting you as
a had credit risk.”
“The important thing to remem
ber about a lease is that it is a legally
binding contract,” she said.
“Usually, two roommates
out better than three or four
are just fewer things to
about,” Thompson said.
Things to keep in mind
choosing a roommate include
habits, cleanliness, spending
and security consciousness,snes
“Some of those things mat
kind of tri vial, but whenyouli
pav an outrageous electricityt
cause your roommate never
the lights off, it blows up intoi
portant issue," she said.
“Promises made by management -
like for new carpeting in the apart
ment by the time you move in - don’t
always come through so you want to

Butler, 70, founder of the Aryan
Nations’ white separatist compound
in Idaho, testified in U.S. District
Court in a trial in which he and eight
other white men are accused of sedi-

replied, “I believe there’s a continual
warfare, yessir, going on in this
country against the white male.”
He defined it as “a propaganda
ir" and said the enemies of what
he called the white-Aryan race in

northwestern United States, the gov

Butler testified that he believes
that it is a biological fact that every
living thing needs a territorial im
perative to survive.

movement — Robert Miles, 63, of
Cohoctah, Mich., who leads The
Mountain Church of Jesus Christ,

Ray Beam Jr., 41, of Houston,
Texas, a former Ku Klux Klan
leader. Beam rested his case without
taking the stand.
