Housing hassles harangue helpless Apartments not always edens By LORI PETERSON Of the Emerald Everyone seems to be franti cally looking for apartments now, and what a relief it is for those who have already secured theirs for the year... or is it? Most students don't demand luxury in apartments anymore. Usually one is satisfied with walls big enough to stack stereo equip ment against and thick enough to keep the late movie confined to the apartment next door. Unfortunately rookies find first impressions of apartments aren't always lasting ones. The amaze ment of finding "a cheap, spaci ous apartment close to campus," is soon replaced by shock, when children literally appear from out of the woodwork and Tonka toy obstacle courses greet you on the stairway each morning. Veteran hunters, who also have signed their sanity away on a lease, lend sympathetic ears to stories of the newly taken tenants. The drama tic accounts are painless, amus ing and ail too familiar. Experiences range from sad to hilarious. While some stick it out in apartment dwellings, others seem to fear insanity and turn to com mune living. One tenant remembers moving into what seemed to be a relatively quiet and innocent single bed room dwelling. He relates "a young couple lived above me and an older man below, at night I could hear the bedsprings above me and the old man snoring un derneath. I used to go out for cof fee alot late at night." Another apartment tenant ad mits the apartment she moved into seemed spotless and three weeks later she says "we found that our shag carpeting was in fested with fleas."

There are subtle things one can look for. It is advisable to soout out the area for any three-wheeled vehi cles parked on the sidewalks or even by the swimming pool. They are usually accompanied by mini ature people. It is also a good idea to be suspicious of bowls sitting by doorsteps that seem to be put there for stray cats, but end up as locations for drooling german Shephards. Apartment hunting may be eas ily called an art. especially on this campus. For many rookies, the lessons still lie ahead, and maybe experience is the only way to learn the art itself.
