The Student Court Is not ready
to make any decisions on the
legality of David Nlkssarlan's
and Susan Good's hold on their
legislative offices.
"The court is Involved ln determining Its procedures," said
Associated Student Body President David Price Hi. "Whether
we're golns to see anything coming out of the court this fall on
the Issue, I really don't know."
The members of the court have
met twice since their appointment two weeks ago.
Sharon Weber, a designated
non-voting representative on the
court, said they received a "complaint" from student senator
David Davenport which introduced
the Good-Nlkssarlan Issue. In
summation, the complaint said:
•The office of legislative vice-
president is constitutionally vacant, and should be declared so."
'They didn't receive that until yesterday (Wednesday),* said
Weber.  "Right now they've Just
reviewed their judiciary rules
and procedures and the Internal
working of the court."
Student Senator Richard Carrillo, one of several students who
helped circulate petitions against
Good and Nlkssarlan, had nothing
to say about how he expects the
court to decide. 1 don't want to
make a statement until the court
makes a decision," he said. "We
are Just waiting for the Student
Court to listen to our grievances."
The court will meet for the
third time Monday, Dec. 8, at
4 p.m.

Consumer comment
Landlord gets fat on your money
by Jane Raggett
In Investigating some of the inequalities ot the landlord-tenant
situation Students (or Consumers has discovered a virtual firebomb ln relation to the cleaning deposit situation.
The question to be answered is this: What actually happens to
your.cleaning deposit money after you have made that payment at the
beginning of the year? .
The money used for the deposit cannot be utilized by the tenant
but It can, however, be utilized by the landlord. Once in the hands
of the landlord, he Is free to Invest that money ln many different
areas and thus make money off your money.       ^.
A perfect hypothetical example of this situation would be Mr. Jones
who owns a 100 unit apartment complex. For each apartment there
Is a $25 security deposit plus a $25 cleaning deposit, total deposit Is
$50 per apartment. Mr. Jones then has $5,000 ln deposit money to
Invest.
^^    ;   $300 FBOM TENANTS
If be places this money In the bank at a 6 per cent Interest rate
he ,1s earning $300 off of bis tenants. This may not sound like very
much money, but ln the long run, It is very possible that a landlord
could make a lot more money than this.
Consider an apartment owner who has several 200 u>ilt apartment
complexes. If he were to require you to pay your first and last
month's rent when you move ln, your apartment owner has the
interest-free use of your last months' rent money for a whole year.
Imagine if you pay $150 a month rent. At 6 per cent Interest, your
apartment owner Is making $9 off of you. If he Is making $9 off of
you, Imagine how much he Is making off 200 apartments — he is
earning $1,800. TheseJ figures are appalling. We can no longer
stand by and watch ourselves being taken advantage of. The time to
act Is now. ^
40 PER CENT RENT
According to the 1970 Fresno County Housing Census, almost
40 per cent of the population ln Fresno County rent their housing
unit (they do not own It). If 40per cent of Fresno County's population
pay their first and last month's rent at the same time or make
cleaning and security deposits, or even Just a deposit for a room
key, the amount of money the apartment owners, home owners, etc.,
are making Is astronomical.
Students for Consumers Is asking why has legislation not been
passed ln California to do away with this mass rip-off. The answers
have yet to be found. However, Students for Consumers is launching
an all-out investigation on this matter.      s
We have discovered that Pacific Gas and Electric, which requires
a $45 deposit before turning on your gas and electricity, now applies
to your account the 6 per cent Interest which they have earned off
your money. A spokesman for the company told us, "We do this for
our protection, because we're using your money."
APPEARING
Pacific Telephone also refunds your accumulated 6 per cent
interest on your phone deposit. Once again, we may ask: "Why do
tenants not get the 6 per cent Interest that is by all rights theirs
from the cleaning and security deposits and last month's rent payments?"
Someone Is definitely getting fat off our money and It certainly
Is not the tenant. If any action Is going to be taken, tenants are going
to have to organize.
Students for Consumers i is looking for anyone Interested In helping with this investigation. This is a fantastic opportunity to meet
. your Congressmen,, your Senators, your representatives and many,
other people. You hare a chance to become Involved, to help with
an Investigation and the promotion of legislation that will change
the housing situations of all renting tenants ln California. Drop by the
second floor of the College Union, room 305A to volunteer your
help.
