Ritenour Says Old
Rules Need Revision
Inspection of rooming. houses
for students has been temporarily
halted after several houses had
been investigated this summer, Dr.
Joseph P. 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.
