Average monthly rents have risen by as much as $10 over the past live years. SKA was formed less than a year ago to draw up model leases, rate off campus apartments, and provide legal advice on housing to students. It was also conceived as a pressure group, for lower rents and decreased terms on leases. Since Michigan instituted a tri mester calendar, most students are in town only eight months a year; they lake a substantial loss when they sign the standard one year lease and are then unable to sublet for the summer. Other Studies Beyond the question of rents, S1IA has done extensive studies in tlie areas of building code revi sions, parking facilities, apart ment zoning and fraternity, soror ity and dormitory zoning. So far, however, Us proposals have re ceived little attention from either realtors or the city council. tine city council member sug gested that students would have to “show their political power” before they would get a hearing. SIIA responded with letters to tlie university’s 13.000 graduate students, asking them to register to vote in Ann Arbor. The letters were endorsed by numerous other student organizations, including the Interfraternity Council, the Young Democrats and the Young Republicans. Registration was made more difficult by an ‘‘intent’’ clause in the Michigan voting laws. The only absolute requirements arc that a person be 21, have lived in Michigan for six months and Ann Arbor for at least 30 days. These requirements met, voting rights arc determined by a state ment of “intent" as judged by the city clerk or a board of ap peals. in its letter to graduate stu dents, SI IA noted that students were "more likely” to be con sidered eligible to vote in Ann Arbor if they remained in Ann On May 14, 21, and June 3, the Selective Service System Is administering to high school seniors and college undergraduate and graduate studehts the Selective Serv ice College Qualification Test.

Students would not necessarily be disqualified, the letter said, if i they paid out-of-state tuition, were i unsure of future residence, de i pended on their parents for sup i port, or were single. Attendance at the university does not fulfill the residence requirements, it was noted, and the whole matter was essentially one that could be decided only by the clerk on indi vidual cases. Thirteen hundred students reg istered in a 10-day period. Al though a small proportion of the 18,000 who voted in the last elec tion ,their power was concentrat ed in three of the city's five wards. A Republican party campaign let ter called the registration of "nearly 1,500 voters” a "most dis turbing trend.’’ “Show of Force” SHA did not, however, endorse either party or specific candidates. "This was merely a show of force,” SHA President Robert Bodkin explained. With the election over^ SHA plans to present its program for an integrated City- University Housing Program to City Coun cil. The proposal, drawn up in connection with local developers and housing commission members, advocates revision of some of the building codes, a change in zoning laws for some areas to allow high rise apartments, and a change in the land-usage laws to allow fam ily and medium-rise apartments in other areas. SHA also plans a pamphlet on student legal rights, an investiga tion into university acquisitions and leasing rights, and the estab lishment of a mediation board. 23 Privies Later' Creston Creekers Celebrating '75th' The Diamond Jubilee, celebrat inn the 75th anniversary of the founding of Creston Creek Col lege, is being celebrated this week by a number of “transplant ed" students now attending the University.
