Ritenour, director of the College Health Service, revealed yesterday. "Because landladies do not know existing standard require ments and sanitary conditions are not satisfactory in the homes of those inspected, a new list of es sential, detailed standards must be drawn . up and presented," Dr. Ritenour said. - Landladies complain that they are not familiar with the housing inspection program and its re quirements, but they are willing to cooperate, he explained. The inspection will not be continued until minimum rules are estab lished. The College Health Service, Student Housing Board, and the Senate Committee on Student Welfare were joint spopsors of the inspection, which followed a three-year drive to improve room ing conditions in State College. Dr. Warren B. Mack, head of the department of horticulture, is chairman of the Senate committee. Danger of high rents which may result from improvement of rooming houses has acted as a check to drastic action by the Col lege or the Student Housing Board, according to John M. Bi erly '4l, former preSident of the board. The Student Housing Board was organized in 1939 and was recog nized as an official medium in seeking better housing standards for independent men. With the supervision of the Senate Committee on Student Welfare, a housing inspection pro gram was proposed and accepted last year by Dr. Ralph D. Hetzel, president of the College. Inspection of the houses was to have been made by the College Health Service. An approved list was to have been published in The Daily Collegian and in the annual list of rooming houses by the Penn State Christian Association. Plans for the new standards will be organized late this month, Dr. Ritenour said. 106 Counselors To Aid In Freshman Orientation One hundred and six upperclass student counselors have the re sponsibility, in a series of Fresh man Week meetings, of explaining Penn State to freshman men.
