UH schedules tenant conference Saturday
Carter to cut
students' Social
Security benefits
President Carter's proposed
1980 budget may leave some
Rice students concerned about
the financing of the rest of their
college educations. One cut in
federal spending is the
proposed end of Social
Security benefits to college
students. Another cut which is
also potentially restrictive to
Social Security recipients is the
lowering of the age limit for the
youngest family member from
18 to 16. Parents would receive
no Social Security benefits
after the last child became 17.
Students who might be
affected adversely by this
proposal should voice their
feelings to their Senators and
Representatives soon.
Congressmen and women
maintain offices in their home
districts as well as in
Washington. ^Letters, tele-
grams should be sent to both
offices for maximum effect.

A major conference to train,
inform, and organize tenants
will be held in the Congres-
sional Room of the University
of Houston University Center
on Saturday, January 27. The
event, which will last from 10:00
a.m. until 5:00 p.m., is
sponsored by the Texas
Tenants' Right Association
(TTRA).
Perhaps the biggest
conference of its kind ever held
in Houston, the Tenants'
Conference will feature
workshops led by the most
successful tenant organizers in
Texas. Topics on the agenda
include training sessions on the
rights of Texas tenants under
present law and how tenants
can organize to become more
vocal, and a discussion of
current legislation concerning
renting and leasing in Texas.
TTRA, with members in
several Texas cities including
Houston, has taken an active
interest in the upcoming
legislative session and was
influential in the writing of
House Bill 215, introduced by
Ron Walters of Houston.
The bill expands the
definition of the recent
Warranty of Habitabi lity
clause in rental agreements to
include remedies for tenants
whose warranty is not granted
as well as protection from
retaliation by landlords.
TexPIRG, which endorses
House Bill 215, is also
attempting to have legislation
introduced amending the
security deposit law. The
TexPlRG proposal would give
tenants interest on their deposit
and would provide safeguards
for deposits while they are kept
by landlords.
Many off-campus students
may find that more informa-
tion on tenant organization
could help them solve their own
housing problems. The TTRA
conference is open to the
public. For further informa-
tion, call Debra Danburg,
person-to-person collect at 512-
475-5627 (in Austin).

problem-solving applications book.
The versatile TI-55 calculating system
is packed with the features and func-
tions you need to handle almost any
mathematical operation, from loga-
rithms and trigonometry to advanced
statistical problems. Thirty-two steps
of programmability add new dimen-
sions of accuracy, speed and ease to
performing repetitive calculations and
"what-if" analyses. You just teach the
TI-55 a series of operations and it per-
forms those steps for you.
For more help in making quantita-
tive decisions, the
TI-55 comes with
the Calculator De-
cision - Making
Sourcebook, a $5.00
value. The book, 140
pages of easy-to-
understand, real-
life applications,
P«cMon MWdng
Sourcebook
3SS333S52F
shows you how to use the power of
statistics, financial math and program-
mability in analyzing relationships in
data, verifying quality and perfor-
mance, measuring change, forecast-
ing trends and projecting returns... in
short, how to make better decisions,
today and tomorrow. Calculator and
book combination, only $50.00*.
Slimline TI-50. A powerful, stylish slide-rule
with new Constant Memory™ feature.
The pocket-portable Slimline TI-50 is
today's most powerful liquid crystal
display (LCD) slide-rule calculator. It
has 60 functions including common
and natural logarithms and six trigo-
nometric operations that can be per-
formed in three angular modes (de-
grees, radians or grads).
Seven built-in statistical functions
make it easy to "boil down" large
amounts of data so you can perform
accurate analyses and draw reliable
conclusions.
Two constant memories retain their
contents even when the calculator is
turned off, so frequently used con-
stants and other basic values are at
your fingertips when you need them.
TWo miniature batteries provide
over 1000 hours of operation in normal
use; Tl's APD™ automatic powerdown
feature helps prevent accidental bat-
tery drain by turning off the calculator
after approximately 10 minutes of
non-use. With imitation leather wallet,
$40.00".
Slimline TI-25. Slide-rule power at a small
price.
Economy and value go hand-in-hand
with the Slimline TI-25, a pocket-
portable LCD scientific calculator that
has what it takes to handle advanced
math. It provides the most-needed
slide-rule functions. Trigonometry in
degiees, radians or grads. Plus basic
statistical power, too: Mean, Variance.
Standard Deviation.
Three levels of parentheses can
handle up to three pending operations
to make your work easier. Four-key
memory allows you to store and recall
values, add-to memory contents and
exchange stored and displayed
numbers.
The TI-25 goes far on a pair of min-
iature batteries —includes APD™ cir-
cuitry. Vinyl wallet included, $33.00*.
