...they must have definitely decided to abide by the results of the allotment, for there can be no option as to accepting the assignments if their applications are successful. In this connection it should be clearly understood that, as the committee does not assign the rooms within a given group, men applying in groups must be prepared to allot the rooms among themselves, and furthermore, to stay together regardless of any difficulty which might arise over a slight preference in rooms or any other matter...
