Students go to Patrone's, save monev f By MARIA FRATUS Rlitinflf# aiti./ir uujlllOtf^ CUUUI Students are leaving campus to do their laundry because of the high-priced, often inefficient machines in the dormitories. The price to wash clothes on campus was raised from 50 to 75 ccuis in me ian occausc 01 electricity and water rates, according to Adair Long, South Area manager. The cost to dry clothes remained at 25 cents. Melvin Stroble, a biology senior, docs his laundry at Patrone Cleaners, a local laudromat, to save money and time. It costs 50 cents to wash and 25 cents to dry. "In Patrone's you get a good washer every now and then, but on campus I haven't run across a good one yet," Stroble said. "If the nrice was rnisrrl a nnart^r th* machines should be more efficient." The dryers on campus do not work as well as those in Patrone's, but cost the same, Stroblc said. "If you spend 50 cents in Patrone's, your clothes arc burning hot. If you spend 50 cents on campus, they are damp." By washing clothes in Patrone's, a student can save between 30 minutes and an hour ol c?r/>uu nuiv, onuuic saiu.

The Housing Af-fair will save students a lot of ime and hassle, said John Huffman, manager of Vhaley's Mill. "I think it is super and long over!ue.

"It's a real good way o let students who arc thinking about moving to ind out information and talk first," she said. "It's o important to make an educated move, not just ay 'I want to get out of here.'" By talking to representatives, students will realize exactly what to expect.

The Housing Af-fair will benefit managers of lousing complexes, because they will become aware )f students' needs, according to Huffman. "It helps ne market my product," he said.
