_____________THE MICHIGAN iDAILY ThEgsDAY, SE New Catholic Chapel At WiLliam And Thompson St. ROOM RENT S SHOW NO INCREASE__THIS YEAR Although the supply of rooms avail-c able does not exceed the demand by as large a number as at the beginning1 of the second semester last year, there1 has been no noticeable increase int the room rent for students, according to Dr. Frederick Wahr, assistant to} the dean of students. In very few cases has the sum asked for either single rooms or suites been increased.1 This condition is in marked contrast to that of last year when rents were raised 50 cents higher for double rooms, 75 cents higher for suites and $1.00 higher for single rooms. Rooms continued to be listed Satur- day and Monday, and it is the opinion' of Dr. Wahr that the increased en- rollment in the University will be tak- en care of by the larger number of rooms available., Fletcher hall, the new men's dormitory, will accommo- date 30 students but only approxi- mately half that number have taken rooms there so far. The rooming contracts drawn up by Dean Joseph A. Bursley and used last year are being provided again and all students engaging rooms are urged to sign them. The contract binds the student to hold the rooms for one se- mester, other contracts being provided for the first and second semester. American Stidy at Berlin Berlin-(By A.
