Student interest and participation began
slacking off near the end of last semester.
Wade said, now only two or three people
remain active in the organization, The
organization was formed in spring, 1972.

The organization reached about 150-200
students last semester, Wade said, about
70 other students filed complaints against
their landlords with UKTRO.

“We didn't have enough power to help
some of them," Wade said, “but we did
manage to help about forty.“ They
talked with landlords, filed complaints
with the Lexington Building Inspector. had
buildings inspected and arranged legal
counseling for students whose landlords
refused to return deposits. Wade said.

“We also worked on a form lease which

If enough students attend the meeting
and are willing to work with the
organization, Wade said they hope to

bargaining with landlords.

“it looks like a union may be the only
way to really get anything done about
housing problems." Wade said.

A tenants' union is an organized group of
tenants living in the same building or
under the same landlord. “it‘s one
alternative we have for working for

reform outside of the system," he said.

This will be discussed and explained at
the meeting. he said.

“But unless more than a couple of people
show up. the meeting will be the end of any
type of campus tenants‘ organization."
