Off-Campus Housing program
is criticized for ineffectiveness
By Jacquie Long
Of the Emerald
The University’s Off-Campus
Housing program is embroiled
in controversy.
A service that’s not available
at every college, the Univer
sity’s Off-Campus Housing pro
gram was established several
years ago to help students with
a variety of housing problems,
from finding a new roommate to
learning a renter’s legal rights.
But now the effectiveness of
the Off-Campus Housing pro
gram is being questioned.
According to those who shore
its offices, the program’s ad
ministration has declined
noticeably in quality.
“Just watch how many peo
ple walk in for help when no
one’s here, or listen to how
many times the phone goes
unanswered,” said John
Dreeszen, ASUO finance coor
dinator.
“It’s difficult to conduct a
meeting in here if we’re con
stantly interrupted by someone
looking for Off-Campus Hous
ing,” Dreeszen added.
Julie Davis, ASUO president,
is also concerned about the pro
gram’s administration.
“There’s a lot of funding go
ing into that office, and it’s hard
to see why there’s rarely
someone in there,” Davis said.
“They’ve got work-study
money also, but I can’t see it’s
being used effectively,” she
said.

Michael Morrow, director of the Off-Campus Housing program,
feels despite complaints, the program is operating well.
Students who have used Off
Campus Housing services have
mixed feelings about the pro
gram’s administration.
“They were helpful when I
finally found someone in the of
fice, but it took a month before I
could even find someone there
to talk to,” said lames Nielsen,
a biology student who had ques
tions about his legal rights as a
tenant.
However, Susan Kissir, a re
cent University graduate, found
the program to be both quick
and effective. Kissir and her
boyfriend had continual pro
blems with their landlord and
went to Off-Campus Housing
for help.
“They told us the exact pro
cedure we should use and ex
plained the legal parts of our
problem,” Kissir said. “I was
really impressed with them,”
she said.
Michael Morrow, director of
Off-Campus Housing, does not
believe there is a problem with
the program’s administration. If
the office is frequently empty, it
is because of a lack of money, he
said.
Indeed, funding for the
organization is much less than
what it used to be.
From $5,000 for fiscal year
1983- 84, Off-Campus Housing’s
1984- 85 budget is down to
$4,326. a 13.5 percent drop.
According to Morrow the pro
gram has a budget that is about
30 percent less than what it was
four years ago.
As director. Morrow receives
only $75 each month and says
that amount is less than $3 per
hour for the amount of time he
spends in the office. "We do get
money for work-study too, but
it’s really hard to find qualified
students in the summer," he
said.
“For the dollars they spend, I
feel like this is one of the best
used programs on campus.
We’re like any college program;
we do what we can,” he said.
