RITENOUR You occupy a unique position in State College Not only me you President of the State College Boat(' of Health but you me also Dnectoi of the College Health Seiviee You ate a member of the, College Senate Committee on Student Welfare. Therefore, Doctor, in you are vested the health Jleztinies of approximately ,12,000 persons—hu man being, like youi.elf, Doctor. You must rec ognize that yours is a gi ave desponsibility With baffled alarm we have scanned your state ments. And with more baffled alarm we view your. attitude toward the housing crisis in State College , They are; Dbctor, incompatible and Incongruous with those positions of responsibility you hold.' You're ne‘ei gone through some of the loom leg houses in State College, - Doctoi Ritenout We hsve You've never seen conditions—dirt pan scked to Poors, filthy wallpaper, cage-like room., bathrooms which ate cesspools of disease You've novel seen these, Doctor, at else you wouldn't say that the Boind of Health would make inspections of inclining houses only if iequestetc by the pro- pi !Mot You wouldn't cay, Doctm, that "you can crowd oix studenb; into one room but if there are no menaces to health, the Boni d or Health Lan do nothing" You wouldn't tell us, Doctor, that,it's all a mat te? of the ,tudent being old enough to know what he's taking, that it's all a matter of supply and demand _ We're souy to disillusion yo'u, but the stu dent teeny hasn't any choice, Doctor He'll take, what he can get, and what he can get in. most instances is not what he wants He's accustomed bette things at home, Doctor He knows what he's taking, and he has to take it And under what conditions, Doctor, are hundreds of students going to live until your supply exceeds the demard? Is it all so hopeless as you say-it'is?' Was It because of the "hopelessness" of the situa tion that nothing was done about your 1936 survey? The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Doctor, lodges in the Board of Health tremendous and necessary powers According to Article XXXVIII, Section h of Pennsylvania Borough Law it shall liCthe duty of the Bond of Health to "enforce the laws of the Commonwealth, the regulations of the State Depot tment of Health, and to make and enforce such additional rules and regulations to prevent the introduction and spread of infectious ni contagious diseases" Section 7 of the Article reads "Said board of health shall have the power .. to enter, at any time upon any premises in the borough . . upon which there is suspected to be any Infectious or contagious disease, or nuisance detrimental to the public health, for the purpose of examining,and abating the same " You have it in black and white, Doctor You must, realve that those proprietors whose homes do not conform to health standinds would not in vite_inspection. It's human nature, Doctor As President of the State College Rood of Health, as Dnectoi of the College Health Service, as a member of the College Senate Committee on Student Welfare, the Collegian calls upon you, Doctor Ritenom, in the name of, students and tight-thinking catrzens of State College, torecon suler before it's too late —E R MUCH ADO' ABOUT - NOTHING Several persons have called the Collegian's at tention to an incidental situation tegayding .. the time at which single athletic events in Rec Hall are scheduled. NVhy, the ,Collegian has been asked, are single events peisistently booked for 8 p m when they might Just — as easily begin at 7 p m 9 As fai as the Collegian in concerned, the whole „ti 'fling matter is eveiy bit as broad as it is long foi the benefit of those individuals who in sist that single events should start at 7 p m, the, Collegian has gone to the tiouble,of finding out Just why the Athletic Association schedules these events fat 8 o'clock him e's,why• I—Since bowl, and wrestlers must weigh in fioin foul to five hours before, each meet, and cince they must eat sometimebetvieen the„bout and weighing-in ceremonies, iLis only fair for ' them to have sufficient time to test between meal and fight time 2—Visiting, teams me often late in arriving, and that extra , hour of lest is the least courtesy that can be extended them Then too, plaiing,so soon after eating, is not the best thini;for iny athlete This IR especially true in basketbfill. , - 3—The Athletic Association is making - an ef fort to standardize the time of games so as not to confuse either public or student body. And . . 4—By scheduling events at 8 p m , the Athletic Association feels that the after-dinner, catch-as catch-can scramble for seats on the part of spec tators Is elimmated.-12. L.
