Part B:
Q31-35: Telephone conversation about student housing.
* Good morning. Housing office. How can I help you?
* Hi. I'm calling about the new subsidized low-cost housing for graduate students.
* are you aware that it's only available to married graduate students and their families?
* Yes. I think my wife and I may qualify since she's still in graduate school. But I was wondering whether there were any other requirements.
* Well, unless you have more than one child, you have to have a combined annual income that's less 15,000 dollars.
* I'm working as a part-time research assistant so that's no problem. But right now we're living with my wife's parents. Does that mean we have to include their income too?
* Not necessarily. Why don't you stop by our office so I can give you some forms to fill out and explain everything in more detail.
* That sounds like a good idea. Would tomorrow morning be all right?
* The afternoon might be better. It can be pretty crazy around here on a Friday morning.
* All right then. I'll try to make it in the afternoon. Is there anyone special I should ask for?
* You can ask for me, Susan Davidson. Or my assistant Bill Brown.
