In commenting on the change in room rents A. C. Hanford, dean of the College, said yesterday, "It is a well-known fact that the quarters in the Houses are much more attractive and comfortable than the rooms which upperclassmen formerly occupied, and there is no question that the student receives more for his money. Nevertheless, the financial condition of students has changed so much in the last two years that it has been difficult for many of them to pay for these better quarters.
"As the Student Council points out, the great majority of the resident upperclassmen desire to live in the Houses, but the existing prices for rooms have made it difficult for them to do so. It is, therefore, especially gratifying to know that a plan has been worked out whereby the average room rent per man will be lowered and readjustments made between the different Houses to be effective beginning with the year 1933-34."
