TEN PERCENT INCREASE IN RENTS DUE IN FALL OF '45

With scarcely a week remaining for the selection of room-mates and the singing of room contracts, came the announcement this week by the University Business Office that a ten percent rise in rental prices would go into effect with the fall term.

The lengthening of the semesters from 16 to 18 weeks necessitated some adjustments in rents charged. Calculations show that the ten percent raise will keep the rentals at a level slightly below prewar scales.
