BRIDGING THE GAP
ANOTHER STEP toward the sueessfpl qpd
constructive solution of the pressing, housing
problem was taken Wednesday night when a half
do2en groups, representing every section of the
student body, established by unanimous action a
Student Housing Board
What specific functions the Housing Board will
serve have not as yet been outlined. What is m
om taut for the present, however, is the fait that
a Housing Heald such as this can serve. primal
ily as a focal agency wheie all students may and
can file all theta complaints in all confidence, an
agency which can lender invaluable service as a
liaison gioup between students and townspeople
and adininistiation.
• And what is most important of all Is the reali
zation that after all these years we now, have a
student body which Is becoming increaslngiy
aware of i ts problems and Its responsibilities, a
student body which Is gradually being welded
into a powerful, moving force behind the enlight
ened iradeiship of conscientious studiet repre
sentatives
Under such circumstances, therefore, it was
only natural to expect that when a legal hotly
like the Board of Health, which has authority
untie' qale laws to regulate housing condttions
within this borough, minces to do so, the students
,hould take their own welfare into their own
ha nds
SOME TOWNSPEOPLE, of course, will quake
in then boots at this reawakening of the student
body. These, however, should be in the maim ity.
For the Crlegian hopes to reassure those towns
people who supply decent liv.ng conditions at de
,.eni pines that they have nothing to fear
In fact, the Collegian's housing campaign i,
alined not so much at raising the standards of
all Imase , , as it. is to bring the laggards up to the
•.1 amid' ds of the better houses in town
In th,s way, we can attack the 'problem,from
two entirely deffeient angles' We can promote
the welfare of the students by setting up regula
tions that will make available to . them the best
living conditions at the price they are willing to
pay And at the same time we can prpmote the
welfare of the townspeople by, eliminating unfair
competition from landlords who wpuld fall to
comply with these regulations
As foe competition flora the College, the Col
legian does not believe any assyrances-aie neces
...ley on this point Poi the entire past history of
this College shows that even when
,dormitories
have brut built, townspeople have not, suffered
In'fact, the College counts'upon housing students
in town and when it builds doimitories the usual
pi ocedine has been to inciease student enrollment.
lirindiu to fill up the available rooms—in town
as well as on campus
It is foi these reasons, then, that, the Collegian
once again "Presses its most fervent wish that
townspeople who are far-sighted enough to real
lie that their welfare is intimately tied up with
welfare will join hands with the students
and the College and make possible that cooped a
tive %milt which Is so vitally necessary to keep
