Students go

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

By MARIA FRATUS

Students who want to move off campus can make 1
their search for the perfect home easier by going to r
the first annual Housing Af fair today in the Russell 1
House ballroom. t
Representatives from local apartment complexes
such as Whaley's Mill, Hampton Park, St. Andrews t
Apartments and Spanish VMlas Apartments will be \
there between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. to show students c
alternatives and answer their questions, according a
to Rosemary Broadway, coordinator of OffCarr?nn<;

University housing and a storage company will i
also be there, and members of South Carolina Elec- t

assist students in their move off campus, Broadway s
said. s
It is spring tradition for students to start looking
for a place to live for the fall, Broadway said, c

In the past, Off-Campus Student Services has
iclped students find housing off campus by keeping
istinus of available anartmrnt*; hnnw? rnnmc nnrl
iccded roommates. But this is the first time they
lave had an official medium to inform students of
heir alternatives, Broadway said.
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.
Students can sit down in a sane environment
md make a decision."
Students will be informed of all options and

according to Broadway. "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. Students' expectation", about
nunvy, ica*cs> ?nu living conditions are oiten
inrcalistic, Broadway said. Students need to know
ibout the "reality of moving into the real world."
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. "We want to preent
our product in the most pleasing way and get
tudents to come see us."
