dents that can afford it. Those
student who move away from
the campus area are opening up
older housing near the Univer
sity for other students." Chupa
said.
The apartment building
boom is also expected to slow
down the rising rental rates in
the campus area. Rent has in
creased 42.84 percent since
January 1987, and 8.21 percent
from September 1989 to Sep
tember 1990. according to a
study done by Duncan, Morgan
and Brown. Real Estate Ap
praisers.
The ongoing study focuses
on 711 units in the campus area
in 38 different projects.
‘‘When the new apartments
are completed, it will almost
put a cap on what people will
be willing to spend. The ques
tion is, will someone pay about
$550 for a two bedroom older
apartment near campus when
they can pay the same amount
for a new apartment with a lit
tle less accessibility to the
school," said Tom Morgan, of
Duncan. Morgan and Brown.
"I think they (apartment
owners) are realizing this and
are becoming more hesitant to
make significant increases in
rents because it could go be
yond the affordability range."
said Morgan.
The survey showed that aver
age rental rates for the campus
area are: S275-S325 for a studio
apartment; $350-400 for a one
bedroom apartment: $525-$560
for a two-bedroom; and
$700-750 for a three bedroom.
"In the long run, I cun see
the rent stabilizing, but it won't
go down. 1 think it will stay in
the 4-6 percent increase range,
which is just a bit higher than
inflation. It is going to be a lot
more indicative of a stable mar
ket.” said Morgan.
As for more apartments in
the campus area. "There are
just no other available proper
ties for independent companies
to build on," said Morgan
"The only other option I see is
for the University to materialize
a plan to build more housing
on-campus."

Students fill dorms
By Tammy Batey
Emerald Reporter
Residence halt move-ins went “remarkably smooth.” said
Marjory Ramey. University Housing director.
As of Friday, 3.028 students had moved into residence halls
with 35 more expected to arrive later through the High School
Equivalency Program
Ramey estimates the official tuition count, which will be in
by the fourth week and will account for students leaving the
dorms for various reasons, will be about 3.010, an average fig
ure.
The no-show rate has improved from 10 percent in past
years to about five percent. Ramey said, attributing this im
provement to the $200 pre payment fee juniors and seniors
are required to pay to reserve a room in a residence hall.
Priority for dorm housing is given to freshmen, although
freshmen are not required to reside in the dorms. Ramey said.
The department usually has no problem placing students in
special interest dorms. Occasionally students are placed in ac
ademic pursuit dorms when they don't want to be, while oth
er students who requested those dorms are not placed there.
Ramey hopes this problem can be alleviated in years to come
"This problem occurs because of no shows. Many students
use reserving a room as a hedge if they can't find other hous
ing. We'll try in years ahead to fix that so we can assure all
students of a room,” Ramey said
Students waiting for dorm rooms are currently living in
temporary housing including unused staff rooms. Ramey
saiil. These students will bo placed in dorm housing as it
opens during the first few weeks of school Housing becomes
available as students drop out of the University or find off
campus housing.
The alcohol policy in the dorms remains the same, howev
er, the policy will las more strictly enforced this year. Parties
involving alcohol are not allowed in residence halls. Ramey
said, adding that in the case of a party, the tenants will be
held responsible and will be reprimanded without warning.
The department has also taken steps toward the recycling
effort.
“We removed the paper cups from food service and re
placed them with plastic mugs to allow them to take out a
beverage if they want one." Ramey said
As well, the department set up covered barrels in the base
merits of residence halls so students can recycle paper. Ramey
said. The three barrels, for white bond, colored bond and
computer paper, represent the department's effort to encour
age recycling. The barrels were approved by the fire marshall
and are “set up and ready," she said, adding that she believes
the department had to take action first to prompt students to
follow their lead.
Family housing has no vacancies and a waiting list has
been compiled.
