There is quite a need for housing for single and married students, Mollenkopf said, and students will benefit as businesses buy and develop investment properties. Jarmco, a brokerage firm, is helping to coordinate a venture on the south side of town for the Far West Capital Pocus Development Company. The new housing would include 6 units of 12 apartments with the capacity to house 4 people per apartment. Also planned for the complex is a major chain hotel consisting of 90 units, a convenience store, gas station, and restaurant, said Steve McClane, business consultant for Jarmco. Were hoping to attract the students during the year and the tourists during the summer, he said. Mollenkopf said, Jarmcos housing has some interesting technology planned. Jarmco hopes each unit will have access to the colleges computers for the students accessibility, said McClane. Also, the entire complex including the hotel and restaurant will be run on cogeneration a heating and cooling system that uses natural gas to power a diesel engine. The brokerage firm is raising funds for the $7,500,000 project through private investors.

The reasons for the direct exhange are twofold, said Ziegler. Our (book exchange) board isnt as effective as wed like it to be; it doesnt work as fast for the individual. Also, we realize books are expensive, and we want to help students save money, he said. A list of books required for spring quarter will be available at each schools selling area. SUSC promotes housing growth Graduate assistantships are available. Selective admittance policies insure a bright, inquisitive student body. $g.o Ziegler said he would like the next administration to continue with the book exchange. Both parties were in support of this. If it gets going, it will be a big event, he said. Hopefully this will set a precedent they will j i ! Jarmco plans to complete the complex by September, contingent on whether funds can be raised by the end of March, said McClane. There is a definite need in Cedar City for student housing. It is also an excellent location for the hotel and other facilities, said McClane. This year, SUSCs Resident Living officials surveyed 24 apartment complexes, asking owners and managers a series of questions concerning type of housing, vacancy, and rent charges. The survey revealed that in the community-9percent of single and family housing was full. Occupancy of housing was 88 percent. Most surveys only need 10 to 15 percent, we covered 50 percent of housing available, so we feel it is a very reliable survey, said Mollenkopf. The survey provides Resident Living with an idea of Cedar Citys housing status, said Mollenkopf. If housing is being filled to capacity, Resident Living invites contractors, both local and out of area, to invest money in student housing, he said. Housing is one of the cornerstones of a college if it is to grow. With the new university status there needs to be the perception that quality housing is available, said Mollenkopf. Mollenkopf said he does not feel that there is an overpopulation problem. With the change from a college to a university, many developers are encouraged to invest in housing projects, he said. But if the current projects do not come through, the housing situation may be tight, he noted. 4 FEELING STRESSED OUT?
