Editor Tho Citizen:- Wo tho students of tho Brigham Young University tako tho opportunity of spreading a few truths around to tho people in outsldo, towns. There hnvo been false reports floating nbout concerning con-cerning the accommodations of students who come to school. Somo of them arc not very anxious about an education, nro easily discouraged and of courso tho first thing they think of Is "home," the hnck man Is ordered nnd away they go with their trunks. 1 hey have given up nt tho first little obstnelo which has como in their nttempt to get settled. It has been rumored that thcro are not enough boarding places to accommodate accom-modate students. Whyl there aro cries all over ihe city 'IKparders WsntwLT, ThWU.wwttglTrewB, , f or., aklh m WWWWefArirffc8iryf';JT-fuiar' prices are concerned they aro aa reasonable rea-sonable on could bo expected, under such conditions as are surrounding us. Somo havo said that you could not get board and lodging for less than fivo dollurs per week. This is not tho case. Tho highest price pnid la four dollars for first class rooms nnd bonrd near tho University. Tho average price is threo dollars and seventy-five cents. Tho fnrther tho distance for walking, the cheaper the price. Tho members of tho Faculty hnvo done all In their power to mnko tho studenta comfortable und to provldo for nil needs.
