"We want The Oakes to be a quiet place to live . . Lyndon Fuller, who has been co-chairman of the University Association of Apartment Dwellers this year, said the housing shortage also allows landlords to get away with charging high' rents and maintaining poorly built apartments. "The majority ot apartments around here are poorly insulated," he said. A lot ot them don't meet Chapel Hill and Carrboro housing code requirements, and students can use these requirements to get things done, such as having screens put on all windows." One Chapel Hill housing inspector, Don Phillips, said most Chapel Hill apartment complexes are in fairly good shape, but added some of the older complexes may be in violation of housing codes. "Some tenants are afraid to bring problems to the owner's attention," he said. "If a tenant calls a Chapel Hill building inspector, he will definitely check out the problem immediately." Since misery loves company, it may help to know that N.C. oiaie ana j-uite umversiucs "aw. simai vf picky beceus of the housing shortage' problems. .Barbara Meade, Laurel Ridge manager Like UNC, N.C. State had around 800 people closed out of mnMAndy dorms this year, N.C. State Director of Residence Life Chuck Oglesby said Raleigh is growing fast and rental property is growing slowly," he said. "Many apartments don't really want students, and by allowing only one adult per bedroom, they make it almost impossible for a student to find a place." -1? urham' rents are increasing and landlords are doing away with short-term leases, said Cecil Givens, director of off-campus housing at Duke. "Some apartments are charging an astronomical damage deposit for students up to $600." Givens blames the housing shortage on skyrocketing housing costs, which he said are forcing more people to live in apartments instead of buying houses. But unlike UNC, Duke manages to accommodate everyone who wants to live in dorms, Director of Student Affairs Barbara Bushman said. "We've never closed anyone out " she said. It doesn't look like the housing situation in Chapel H ill is going to improve much in the near future, University housing officials have contacted a private developer in hopes he will build more student housing, but nothing definite has been decided. If someone is refused an apartment because he is a student, legally he has no recourse. Federal law prohibits housing discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin, but it doesn't mention age. Carrboro Mayor Robert Drakeford said recently Carrboro may want to consider adopting a local ordinance against discrimination on the basis of age, occupation or class. But state Rep. Patricia Hunt of Chapel Hill said she doubts any such legislation could be enacted. "I'm not sure you can require people to rent to just anybody," she said. If a student is having trouble finding an apartment now, it may be because he is trying to get housing too soon. said Lydia Lewis, the University's housing off-campus coordinator. "Most apartments have a 45-day notice policy, so landlords don't know what they'll have available until 45 days before a tenant moves out," she said. One apartment complex now being built in Carrboro may help ease the housing crunch a bit and it does allow undergraduates. Tar Heel Manor, on N.C. 54 Bypass, will have 190 units when it is finished in the fall, said Cassandra Poole, a rental agent for th complex. A handbook which wijl come out on April 18 may also help students cope with landlords. The Association of Apartment Dwellers is printing a booklet explaining the best way to deal with landlords. It includes a dummy lease and the housing codes of Chapel Hill and Carrboro. Avoid waiting lists sublet your apartment By CINDY BOWERS Staff Writer Subletting your apartment is an ideal way to avoid the hassles of waiting lists and last-minute "housing panic," but horror stories abound. What if the summer tenant skips town and leaves you with unpaid rent and utility bills, or a damaged apartment? Before a tenant even considers subletting, he should check his lease to see if his landlord allows the practice, said Dorothy Bernholz, a Student Legal Services attorney. Some leases require the tenant to get his landlord's written permission to sublet. A tenant who is subletting should think of himself as the summer tenant's landlord, Bernholz said. He should have the subletter pay a security deposit and sign an agreement which clearly spells out responsibility for rent, utilities and any damages to the apartment and its contents. Model leases, availble at the Student Legal Services office in the Carolina Union, are helpful in drawing up such an agreement, she said. A tenant should rent an apartment to someone he knows or make a prospective tenant supply references, one student apartment-dweller advised. Last summer, he rented his apartment to someone he found through a newspaper ad, and the summer tenant still owes him for the unpaid rent and deposit, he said. Repeated call and even legal action have not succeeded in getting the summer tenant to pay. . Betsy Bobbit, manager of Old Well Apartments, said none of her tenants has had any major problems from subletting his apartment. The Old Well office keeps a list of tenants who want someone to sublet their apartments for the summer. Bobbit suggested having telephones disconnected, as they can be put in the summer tenants name instead of the regular tenant's. It's an inconvenience, but it may save trouble later, she said.

Frankly, we had our doubts. Which is why we made sure Stroh Light would be more than just another light beer. It has one-quarter fewer calories than our regular beer per twelve-ounce serving, but it s specially brewed to give it a real beer taste. It's far richer and mellower than you'd ever expect with a lot of body, and a generous, long-lasting head. Try new Stroh Light.
