S. A. Mcmanness of McManness Real Estate Rentals, said, "We do not have old, run-down houses. We've spent a lot of money fixing them up."
None of the McMannies tenants who were interviewed had any complaints about the building.
A student who lives on the 1300 block of Ohio Street said, "The wiring is cheap, really cheap. You can put 60 watt bulbs in bee, and that's the biggest."
The student said that when he moved in, he had to "clean up grime" in the apartments.
She said she was beset to spray for bugs while people occupied her apartments because the poison might cause health problems.
All tenants interviewed who lived in apartments owned by McManness complained about a bug problem in their apartments.
McManness said, "We spray in between the times people rent the apartments."
Fred J. Hageman operates Jayhawk Student Rentals. He refused to comment after office hours and couldn't be reached at his office.
One of Hageman's tenants said he hadn't had any trouble with bugs this year.
"As a matter of fact, the landlord volunteered to spray for bugs once a month. He started in January; the student said. "And they sprayed on my apartment apartment from Hagman for $225 a month."

"We become really attached to our students. I just think they're being very kind when they call something to our attention," she said. "We find them dedicated, serious students. There might be a few exceptions but they're very rare."
Mrs. McGogle said that she and her husband didn't feel any bitterness toward the police, but she was not.
although she said the city had cost her a lot of money.
"As far as the City Hall inspection goes, I don't think it can do anything and help us. After all, I think their primary aim is to see that everything is safe and in order," she said. "I think the city hall is getting into their pockets, so to speak," she said. "I think it helps us."
Students who live in McGonagle houses on the 1300 block of Ohio Street and who were interviewed all said they liked the McGonigles.
However, they also said the McGonigles were very slow to make repairs and often needed more attention.
Most of the students said the McGonigles tried to keep them happy, though.
Some of the houses near campus that are rented to students have been estimated to be $3,500 a month.
Pau Gump, professor of psychology,
said, tenants lose their sensitivity. That's
why housing lasts as long as it does. People
do not notice the conditions after awhile."

Mud Creek Plans
pursue plans other than channelization for accomplishing food protection along Mud
Protection from annual flooding and most major flooding could be achieved in the area north of the turpake, he said, through a program of stream management. This would entail keeping the stream clear of log jams, restricting channel improvements to ensure water flow was as possible and prohibiting dumping and tillage along land adjacent to the stream.
James L. Hurrick, president of the local chapter of the Sierra Club and an assistant professor of botany, suggested that local watersheds might be differences between the costs of maintaining food protection under the own environmental plan or be recommended by the Conservation Council.
Under the alternative plan, he said, the city could lease land between the levy and the creek back to farmers and, over the long term, be able to keep it open at a cost of right of way that the city and
drainage district will have to pay if they accept the Corp's recommendation.
He said he suspected that the channelization recommended in the original plan would probably be subject to greater erosion than the levy proposed under the alternative plan, and would consequently cost more in the long run to maintain.
The meeting began with several statements by proponents of channelization, including some pointed barbs aimed at other small groups that have opposed channelization.
Hambleton said that one of the purposes of the meeting for local officials was "to reiterate our intentions to make every effort we can to not implement Plan Seven (the alternative plan recommended by the Corps)."
George Faler, chairman of the Kaw Valley Drainage District, noted that the completion of construction of flood protection along Mud Creek was long overdue. He also pointed out the interruption of groups that really should not be allowed to comment in the matter."
The draiage district has no argument against the broad goals of the Audubon Society and other environmentist group, he said, but the district was "shocked" by the "adversaries" acts that were taken by the environmentalist groups to delay channelization.
The North Lawrence Improvement Association submitted a statement supplying the Board with its desire to have channelization along Mud Creek. It notes that the decision of the Corps to abandon that plan was "high irregular" and that the Corps planned and planning had already been put into it.
Gil Hahn, Rural Route 2, said he was "all (or channelization) and that he was "very proud" of it."
Hahn said his house, located south of the river to the east of Lawrence, had been flooded last October because of the negligence of the Corps and because of the delay that had been imposed upon the flood protection plans for both Mud creek and the south bank of the Kansas River by the objections of the environment groups.
