Rooms for Rent
President Truman's Jackson day statement, "My friends in Congress must choose now between legislating for the veterans and legislating for the real estate lobby," was prompted by a request of the national association of real estate boards for a 10 per cent ceiling price increase in apartment rents where it can be shown that there has been a marked operating cost increase.
This request, directed at the house banking and currency committee, is one more sign of pressure against the government's policy to prevent runaway inflation. Some groups also advocate lifting all rental ceilings.
If the increase is allowed, it no doubt will be reflected in Lawrence apartment rent although it is hard to see how they could so any higher
Although it is hard to determine violations without inspecting each apartment, the fact is well established that proprietors of some student rooming houses are not observing O.P.A. ceilings.
Three main factors are considered in determining a fair rental price—the number of rooms, the general condition including the size and furnishings of the rooms, and whether or not they have been rented previously.
The last factor is the one element that provides a loophole for many apartment owners. Present regulations state that the first rental rate shall be the ceiling for that apartment or room.
Because of the greatly increased demand, many home owners are renting apartments for the first time and so are able to set whatever price the market will stand. With the present high demand, some of those rates have reached exorbitant proportions.
Granted, there is another side. In many instances, Lawrence homes have experienced a great turn-over in ownership during the past few years. The new owners have paid highly inflated prices for them, with the result that they are demanding high apartment rents to secure a fair return on their investment.
The University housing bureau reports that many people of Lawrence have been very co-operative in providing rooms at reasonable rates, considering today's increased cost of living. It admits, however, that there are undoubtedly violations.
Students who do feel they are paying unreasonable rates for rooms have one immediate effective recourse. They may go to the housing bureau where some rooms at reasonable rates are still listed.
In fact, unreasonable rates can be forced down only if students are sufficiently interested in their own affairs to report suspected violations to the O.P.A. and check at the bureau for better rooms at lower prices.
There are very few empty apartments, and here again it is up to the individuals concerned to take corrective measures wherever rates are too high. However, as long as the present apartment shortage exists, renters are even more reluctant to report violations to the O.P.A. for fear of ending up without any apartment.
It is regrettable that there is no O.P.A. bureau in Lawrence. If it were only a matter of going downtown to report an offense, rents could probably be held more in line. But with the nearest office in Topeka, the O.P.A.'s influence is not felt so strongly.
It is hard to tell just what the condition will be next fall, but there is every indication that things will be looking up; rents will probably not rise unless a ceiling increase is allowed.
There is even a good chance that rates will decrease. The planned University housing project and additional Sunflower Village facilities are expected to accommodate whatever increase in enrollment there will be and should also result in bringing rental rates down.-LF.
News that American people will be forced to eat less wheat and fats was received with relief by freshman women who picked up 10 additional pounds in their first semester.
Shortly after he had set out to prove that Americans will donate to any "cause," a Memphis, Tenn., man collected $11 for the "Widow of the Unknown Soldier."

Dr. Gloyne, who received his M.D. degree at the medical commencement held two weeks ago, is believed to be the first doctor of medicine to give a piano recital in Kansas City.

While at the University, as an under-graduate, Dr. Gloyne studied piano with Dr. Carl A. Preyer, professor emeritus of piano.

They got along on a hoosestring Current Gamma Phi's and Sigma Nu's enjoyed everything about the wedding of Helen Pepperell and Bob Fairchild in Wichita last weekend—they hope their two alums can say the same.
I will take two. Joan Woodward, Pi Phi, was delegated to explain to members of Sigma Chi—seated at dinner—about tickets which were on sale to a dance. After her little oration Bud Eisenhower rose to ask if there were any questions the men would like to ask before they thanked Miss Woodward and let her go.
But I'm all right. In the midst of a party in a popular nook of K. C.'s union station, Ginny Larson, Chi O, and date, Dick Hodges, Sigma Nu, made a startling discovery.
After the reception a former GPB prexy, Dorothy Chapin Smith, carried the newlyweds' bag to the car and stood holding it while the Fairchilds were off and away in a shower of rice.
There was silence for a minute, and then Mike Windsor raised his hand. "Say," he said, "do you have a date for this thing?"
Said Dick, "You're from Kansas City, aren't you?"
"Your dad's a doctor, isn't he?" "Yes."
"Yes."
"You live in a big white house on
a corner, don't you?"
You can't win. George MacCarthy is one returned veteran who has received his share of attention since becoming a Jayhawker. One of his first campus excursions took him to a Corbin open house where an inmate scurried up to him, grinned coily, and said, "Come on, pretty boy, let's dance."
“Well, then—we’re third cousins!”
His ego was considerably deflated a day later when a Chi O in Brick's pointed his profile out to her sorcery sisters and screeched, "He looks just like that little skunk in the Walt Disney pictures."
