probably never complete their

vice-president.
Despite. the fact he will prob

Robert D. Baird '42, new presid

'for• the new All-College Cabinet
"to limit increases in student
fees, and investigate athletic
managerships to find if they are
being used as political footballs."
Baird, in addition to asking for
expansion of the co-operative
movement, urged all students "to
keep an eagle-eye open for graft."
Following the inaugural last'
night, Baird put additional stress
on of the topics in his inaug

would ask Cabinet to. take im

By JAMES D. OLKEIN
Alan G. Mclntyre '39, former
Collegian Feature Editor, arrived

exactly one month late for his
Interfraternity Ball date.
Mclntyre, who is an employee

"By the way," the ex-Penn
Stater said last night, "I was the
13th passenger to board the plane
at Palm Beach."
After it was out an hour, the
plane ran into a storm and was
forced down.

miles an hour when we hit. Wat

William B. Bartholomew '4l,

the low returns last night.
"If students understood the
full purpose of the Alumni Asso

we'd have a 100 per cent return.
It's up to the solicjtors to get
that idea across in these last

Health Service
Plans To Issue
Approved List
Inspection and rating of lodg
ing houses to begin at once has
been approved by the Board of
Trustees, President Ralph D.
Hetzel announced last night. This
action culminates a two-year
crusade for better housing pro
moted by eight student organiza
tions and prompted by the results
of a Collegian housing survey.
The inspection and rating will
be voluntary and will follow the
request of individual house
owners. Health Service employes
will act as inspectors and will
draw up an approved list of lodg
ing houses from their own data
and information supplied by re
liabel sources.
Individual surveys will include
not more than two visits a year
and will be confined to certain
set conditions. Standards will be
determined by Joseph P. Riten
our, director of the Health Serv
ice in collaboration with the Ad
visory Committee.
Mimeographed or printed cop
ies of the approved list will be
supplied to students and pros
pective students in interviews or
by mail. This service will be
handled by the Christian Associ
ation. It is expected that the
Daily Collegian will also carry
the listing in its initial pre-Col
lege edition next year.
Individual difficulties arising
between students and landlords
of approved houses will be
handled by either the Dean of
Men or the Student Housing
Board. Room contracts will not
be guaranteed by the College,
but efforts will be made to assist
both parties, to the contract in
the acceptance of contract con
ditions.
The Administrative Committee
is composed of A. R. Warnock,
dean of men; Joseph P. Ritenour,
director of the Health Service:
and Harry W. SeamanS, secretary
of the PSCA.
Student members on the Ad
visory Committee are Robert D.
Baird, president of Student Cab
inet; Ray F. Leffler, chairman of
Student Tribunal; John M. Byer
ly, chairman of the Student Hous
ing Board; Elden T. Shaut, pres
ident of the IMA; and Ross B.
Lehman, editor of the Daily Col
legian.
Faculty representation on the
Advisory Committee consists of

president in charge of business
and finance; A. R. Warnock, dean
of men; Joseph P. Ritenour, di
rector of the Health Service,
