MAY 9- 1900Fudd10 Rent Hike: In Men's ] Attempt To Equa Become Effectivf There will be an increase in i semester for most of the room administrative officials. Rent to the highest fee now paid N Preston and Maxcy colleges. The reasons given for this officials was not that rent controls had been removed, but that it was desirable to make all room fees uniform. The standard three room suite consisting of two small bedrooms and one large outer room were for merly occupied by two students and their fees were $20.50 each semester.- Now there are two stu dents In each of the outer rooms as well as one in each of the smaller rooms making a total of four in the original two party suites. The fees for ,these is now $80.50 each or a tal of $122, a 300% in crease ove the $41 paid a few years ago. With the new raise each suite will bring in a total of $162, or a 400% increase. Administration officers state that the rooms in the smaller dormitories are equally as desir able as those in Preston college and that the school has gone to great expense to repair these smaller buildings. Some authorities claim that pres ent fees are out of line with fees charged at other schools. N. C. Teams Lose To U.S.C.

The topic was the same as that debated by the other teams. Their oppon ents were Hurshell Keener and Herbert Yates.
