Fair offers chance for students
to learn about off-campus life
Representatives provide insight on apartments!
By Laura White
Reporter
Approximately 45 apartment rep
resentatives displayed information
booths yesterday in Rudder Exhibit
Hall at the fourth annual Housing
Fair.
The fair, sponsored by the Texas
A&M Off-Campus Center and Off-
Campus Aggies, gave students the
opportunity to visit with several
Bryan and College Station apart
ment representatives as well as rep
resentatives from furniture rental
companies, the Bryan and College
Station utility companies, the Office
of Students’ Attorney, A&M Bus
Operations and University Food
Services.
The Bryan-College Station rep
resentatives presented a well-pre
pared forum for the housing fair, ti
tled ‘Avoid the Mad Dash.’
Apartment representatives brought
photographs and displays of their
complexes and floor plans. Price
sheets were available for students to
compare rates and options on va
rious locations and candy was pro
vided as incentive for the people
who stopped by the tables.
One of the most innovative at
tempts at recruiting apartment ten
ants was the limosine service pro
vided by Tamespoint Properties to
transport interested students to and
from their complex for a look at
what they had to offer to prospective
leasees.

Pamela Runyon, right, property manager for
Jamespoint Properties, relates the benefits of liv
ing in the Sausalito apartment complex to A&M
students at an information booth at the Housing
Fair Wednesday. The fourth annual fair was at
Rudder Exhibit Hall, and representatives from
more than 45 apartment complexes had informa
tion booths.
The students who visited the
housing fair gained knowledge that
may have been unknown or not un
derstood beforehand, and the ma
jority of people who attended the
fair had good comments about the
fair’s effectiveness and the informa
tion they obtained.
“The housing fair was definitely
worth my time,” Gary Dotzler, an
electrical engineering major from
Bryan, said. “Being able to see all the
apartments together in one place
was really convenient . . . even
though it took us awhile to get
through all the tables, it is going to
save us a lot of time in the long run.”
Margaret Chow, a graduate stu
dent from Los Angeles, said she got
a lot of information from the rep
resentatives. “We still have to go look
in person at the apartments we’re in
terested in because not all the places
had pictures of the apartments, but
the housing fair has helped us nar
row our choices and it’s going to save
us a lot of time.”
Representatives that sponsored
apartment complexes in the booths
at the fair also thought that the event
was a worthwhile venture for in
forming the students and gaining
prospective tenants who were defin-
ately interested in apartment living.
“Being represented at the housing
fair is a good way to generate busi
ness,” said Derrick Jones, a junior
sociology major from Spring rep
resenting Stonewood Village Apart
ments. “It makes people more aware
of our apartment complex and its
benefits, and we are likely to sign a
lot of new leases as a result of being
here today.”
Betty Davidson, manager of West-
gate Apartments, agrees with Jones.
