THE EVENING MISSOURIAN : TWELFTH YEAR COLUMBIA, MISSOURI, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 21, 1920. NUMBER 275 FOR GIRLSIS ACUTE Women Students' Housing Problem Is Still Unsolved Despite Efforts. HOUSES FOR SALE Requests From All Over the State Cannot Be Filled, Says Miss Dobbs. The question of housing girl stu dents in the University for the next term is becoming more serious each day. With the large registration of women that seems to be inevitable for the fall term, the situation appears at present to be grave, and possibilities for its Improvement not jet discerni ble. Miss Ella V. Dobbs, acting adviser of women, said today that letters are coming to her from all parts of the state, asking for rooms for the next term. Yesterday morning, alone, she received six such Inquiries, and the day before a similar number of calls, none of which she can answer satis factorily, for she has no lists of rooms available. She sajs that at present, she is working on rooming and boarding house lists, but that it is still impor tant that all women who Intend to Veep either roomers or boarders for the next year, hand in their lists as soon as possible. Houses Held Until Aufust L It is true that In Columbia many houses are for sale, and the owners refuse to rent rooms for fear a possi ble sale might be thwarted. Most of these houses will be for sale until Au gust 1 and if not sold by that time, the owners will rent the rooms indi vidually. It is hoped then, Miss Dobbs said, that the intensity of the housing problem will be, to a certain extent, relieved. The Y.W.C-A. Is working hard to find rooms for girls, especially fresh men, but despite the plea It made two weeks ago, that lists of vacant rooms be filed immediately, the response has been poor, and today the organization is in no better position to help the girls who are seeking rooms, than It was at that time. Mrs. J. T. Rosa, who has had charge of the Practice House of the depart ment of home economics, has some statistics on co-operative housing and offers her assistance to any girls in terested in such a plan as a solution for the scarcity of rooms. Co-operative Housing Suggested. Co-operative housing is of two kinds, that for girls alone, and the other for families. The latter, Mrs. Rosa thinks is the more difficult, since few families are altruistic enough to live co-operaUvely. The problem for girls is more sim ple, she says, but much loyalty and caution is necessary. Particularly, the girl who has the responsibility for managing the affair must be permit ted to exercise authority and keep the respect of the girls. At first, the question of furnishing the house is an important one, but It is possible, in Columbia, to rent hous es already furnished; hence the ini tial cost. Is done away with. The girls can do most of the work them selves, and labor cost can be a small Item. Light and heat have proved. In the houses studied, the greatest sum, aside from the cost of food. The chaperon ought to receive her room rent free, but a salary, or board, is not necessary. An interesUng budget Is that of the Practice House, for last May. Mrs. losa suggests that an average of $10 a month, for each month In the year, be set aside for the cost of heat There were ten persons In the Prac Uce House, a chaperon and nine girls. The comparison of household costs is as follows: General Rent $40.00 Water and Light 12-10 Gas 6.75 Telephone 2-5u Laundry and cleaning 8 09 Total for house 78.84 Average for Individual .. 7-88 Total food . . 136.92 -X13.69 2L57 8.10 29.67 Individual Food Tood and shelter Labor, at 30c hour . Total, a month . There is a possibility, however, Mrs. Rosa said, of running into greater ex pense In co-operaUve housekeeping than Is necessary, if a careful watch Is not kept of every account. On the whole, however, the plan has proved economical. Mrs. Rosa said she LWouId be glad to explain the plan to tiny girls who are interested.
