N 1 MI Fditar This lAsuc Friday, January 13, 1939 THE WAY OUT WITH INCREASING demand, being made upon this College for admission hoe each yeal, it is betonung more and mole evident that some thing must soon he done to lase the quota of the freshman clus , , if the College rs to continue promoting the tntelest , , of the, Commonwealth— for which it was created and to, nhich it exists roday. No one I Ceoglll7Pi thi, fact mac than does the College itself Thus it was that last Septembei —when a new PWA-GSA building giant was vemnb7nd by Penn State, a giant which would have !nought among other things two men's dm mitmies—the College announced its intention to inmease the freshman quota annually I'm 'he next thiee years until the entne student body numbered approximately 9,500 Tjus, of (muse, WOW be an inmease of 1,000 students lieu, The Collegian immediately pointed out that such a tremendous Increase in, the, student body would precipitate a perplexing housing problem in town and that unless the . College moved to build additional housing facilities, students would be forced to suffer the consequences that would inevitably result from overcrowded housing con dltions—density, unsanitary and unhealthy con ditions, and above all rising room repts caused by the fact that the demand was greater than the supply 'Podgy, the Collegian publi , ,hes the results of its house-to-house vey of among conditions --coveting the entit e hot ()ugh of State College The results pt rive the Collegian's contentions IC=i3 THEY SHOW, tot instance, that their will he Loom , tot only 219 additional students downtown next. yeai —fat below the 2,100 which the 'College had visualind last Stptemher t They show that of the 1,000 workmen iepot edly to tome at the {•resent time, only 174 ate ac tually living m State College Appiconmately 800 are looming outside of State College—in Lemont, in Bellefonte, in the Bali ens—because tow rents ate telatively Mewl in State College They show that the timid toward I net easing room tents is becommg mote evident as a natural testa of the demand-supply intriciple They show, too, that overcrowded conditions n many houses make way I'm unsanitaly and unhealthy envnonment and Ming about intolet able t uling , , by landlords who take the "what-the r-ain't-no-competitton" attitude All this as a dangerous indication for the fit lute, dangerous because it shows that with In creased demand for rooms come rising rents, greater independence on the part of some land lords, and therefore less choice to tha matter for the students who must live downtown ON THE BASIS of these results, then, the Collegian pi esents the following v ecommendi !ions to the Sennt2 Con - 101e° on Student Wel fare and the College administtation First, If the quota of the freshman class must be increased, the increase should not be more than 100 The Collegian, despite its hope that this, Col lege could admit all quabied applicants, would meter not to have 'he freshman quota incleased i at all at this time There will be, as the survey shows, Loom foi an additional 319 students noit yeai But this does not mean that the College should go out and 'no ease the fi eshman quota to fill up that number of looms It would be healthier for the , •tudeits, the College and the town as a whole To have the supply of rooms greater than the &mond In this way, students in least have some Owe in the matte!, little though it may be Cm tamly, townspeople who utter decent housing facilities at decent rates would have nothing to feat And townspeople who do not have deem): facilities to offm at decent ales should hot he given the ()ppm Lundy to as come any "take-a-ai -leave-it" attitude Second, the College and the Borough should cooperate in setting up standards for all room ing houses in State College, covering heating, lighting, fire hazards, adequate toilet and sanita tion facilities, etc. The Borough Board of Health has the authority to do this. Third, the College through authority vested by law in the Board of Health should inspect all houses in the Borough before the beginning of each semester and publish—as it has a legal right to do—an approved list of rooming houses for the guidance of the students. Thus, despite the fact that the courts have ruled blacklists illegal, the College could serve the same puipose by .muttting from the list those houses which do not live . up to the established standards—which is - stiictly legal. Fourth, the College—when it seeks to gain ad. ditional funds from the state—should forget for the moment the need for Increased educational facilities and place greater stress bpon the need for housing and other social facilities. In this way, the College can show its sincerity in promoting the interests of the Commonwealth and the welfare of the students.
