Rooms Are Wanted For College Boys
One of the first concerns of a young man leaving home for college is to find a suitable and comfortable rooming place. Central has no men’s dormitory, so the people of Pella provide rooms, aiding both college and residents. Enrollment is expected to rise, requiring more rooms than before. Those with rooms to rent should call the College General Office, phone 389, to list available spaces passed to students who select. As rooms are rented, report to the General Office to avoid unnecessary calls. Scarcity leads to too many students sharing rooms, which is discouraged except in unusually large spaces or where two boys share a room.
