FOR CHEAPER T

II behooves the people OF Laramie as
a whole to carefully study the problem
of giving lower rates for board and
lodging to students who come from
over the state to attend the university.
There is no question but that a num-
Der have been influenced to 90 to
other institutions because of the
cheaper fare o~btainable. With poor
parents this Is natural. State pride
cannot overcome a lean pocketbook.
The executive committee and Presi-
dent Merica have taken up this matter
In earnest and will endeavor to make
1t possible to live at Laramie as
cheap as at any western college. The
rate for board and lodging at the girls
dormitory has been fixed at $40 per
month. which Is very reasonable. IL is
the purpose to aid the boys In every
way, so that they may also get accom-
modations that will be entirely salts
factory and at the lowest possible
cost. They Will be assisted in organ
izing a club or clubs, a building for a
dining han will be secured, provisions
win be bought in Wholesale lots, a COM
petent manager will be secured and
every effort made to put the manage,
ment on a basis that will insure good
fare at a rate entirely within the
mean OF all,
The basis established by the board
in taking care OF the girls at the DOR
mitory and the rate at the boys club
will very naturally fix the rate to, a
large degree elsewhere In the city. OF
course 1t Is not to be expected that our
townspeople will exert themselves to
take care OF university students for
nothing, but by assembling a number
OF them together they may be cared
for at q profit without making the rate
%prohibitory.
Laramie a we'll afford to take hold
OF this matter through every channel
promising better conditions. The
commercial club could aid, and citizens
generally should give the matter
thought, In order that the solution Of a
somewhat dificult problem may be
satisfactory.
