The Cry for Ro oms.

The higher cost of living this
year is being severely. felt by a
large per cent of the students,
who must either forego this
years attendance or resort to
light housekeeping: There are
also large number writing for
.unfurnished rooms, demand
that cannot be filled. There is
likewise urgent need for the erec-
ton Of. a large fat, well. located
and arranged especially for stu
dent needs. With a caretaker
in charge and daily supervision
of the property, such a building
will be in ready demand by
worthy and progressive students
and return excellent yearly div
idends to the builder.
We understand that within
the past few days a gentleman
from California has been looking
over the situation with this en-
terprise in view. s t-..-

lodging houses for students was
taken some ten days ago, bu
