Low priority points now have
two benefits; air-conditioning
and a dishwasher.
Talmadge Court, the new off-
campus housing, is open for
residency this year. Talmadge
is located one-half mile from
camp1,1s and
will
house 37
Marist students.
Martin Rule, assistant direc-
tor of housing and residential
life,
said Maris( needed
Talmadge Court to help house
some of the students· who did
not receive on-campus housing.
"There were around 150 stu-
dents whose priority points
weren't high enough to be on-
campus," said Rule.

'Talmadge
Court was purchased because
it
is close to campus and was
available at the best price."
Rule said Talmadge Court
has been redone to accommo-
date the students.
"We',ve repainted the rooms,
installed the token· ring, put in
new furniture and put in a new
fire alarm system,'! said Rule.
"It's all brand new stuff.
There's even air-conditioning
and a dishwasher."
Rule said the rooms have one
or two bedrooms, with double
occupancy in each room.

Talmadge Court, the new off-
campus housing, is open for
residency this year. Talmadge
is located one-half mile from
camp1,1s and
will
house 37
Marist students.
Martin Rule, assistant direc-

said Maris( needed
Talmadge Court to help house
some of the students· who did
not receive on-campus housing.
"There were around 150 stu-

weren't high enough to be on-
