Rooms Available for Men Must Be Filed at Y.M.C.A.
Inspection for Fall Term Makes Early Listing Necessary
Persons having rooms or apartments which they desire to rent to men students of the University for the fall session should call at the headquarters of the University Rooming bureau, 121 Fraser, phone 380, and have their rooms officially listed before Sept. 1, according to an announcement made by Sam R. Carter, secretary of the University Y.M.C.A. in charge of rooming facilities for men.
It is necessary that the rooms be listed before that time in order that they may be inspected before the opening of the fall term. It is also necessary in order that copies of the official university room leases may be sent to the landlady. The University rooming bureau assumes no responsibility for disagreements between students and landladers when no lease is signed. The lease is merely a written contract agreeing on the price of the room and the rental for a full semester.
The official regulations for men's rooming houses are listed on the reverse side of the lease. There are only two rules proposed by the housing committee. The first is that the proprietor is expected to furnish light, heat, shelter, comfort and cleanliness at a reasonable cost so that the student may have the right home surroundings in which to do his school work happily and comfortably. The second is that the student is expected to conduct himself as a gentleman at all times.
