• TODAY - THURSDAY •
In 1914, when President Sparks
established the Health 'Service,
the Dispensary was located in the
old English Composition, Building
near the tennis courts, now known
as Beecher House. Dr. Ritenour
came to Penn State'ln 1917 to head
the service.
A frame isolation house, pieced
together from Devil's Den and
Angel's Retreat Dormitories, was
used to quarantine communicable
disease patients. With one nurse
as an aid, Dr. Ritenour treated ap
proximately 2,000 cases that year,
while regular physical examina
tion of students was conducted
spasmodically. •
In 1927 the Potato Growers of
Pennsylvania donated the major
ity of the funds . for the Infirmary,
opposite Grange Dormitory: When
the remodeling, of Old Main was
begun, the College physician
pleaded for , a new location of the
Dispensary in the basement where
it is now located.
From one nurse for 2,000 cases
in 1917, the College Health Serv
ice has accumulated a staff of 6
physicians, 11 regular nurses, 3
clerks, 5 maintenance workers,
and has treated 50,000 students
with 640 being hospitalized.
In May, 1939, the first plan for
free hospitalization was intro
duced to • the Student Health
Board. It was submitted to the
Board of Trustees in June of the
same year but was not approved.
Sections of the plan, which called
for the College to employ a staff
surgeon and permitted staff phy
sicians to answer calls from stu
dents in town, were eliminated,
and it was approved by the Board
on January 26, 1940. By this
plan students do not have •to pay
the $2.50 a day for hospitalization
formerly required. The health
fee was raised from $5 to $lO year
ly, but students are now .permit
ted to stay at the Infirmary and
still have the services of a town
physician at approximately the
same cost.
Infirmary cases have dropped
since this new plan has gone into
effect. Dr. Ritenour believes this
is • due to the fact that since the
free hospitalization plan has gone
into effect, students avail them
selves of the health service where
no direct cost is involved, and
many ailments are discovered be
fore complications involving hos
pitalization set in.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
../he Women
Should Teachers
Stand In Corners?
The traditional feature about
the man who bites a dog has been
paralleled by a situation which
has arisen in women's dormitor
ies this Summer.
Coeds in campus dorms have
found it necessary to request Sum
mer students to abide by dormi
tory regulations. The majority of
these new students are teachers,
accustomed to maintaining disci
pline in schoolrooms.
Reasons for the request, we feel,
are plain. Everybody's cooper
ation is needed to have any sem
blance of "quiet hours" or to en
force closing hours.
One noisy "bull session" can
keep a whole floor from studying.
One person coming in late neces
sitates a student checker work
ing overtime.
Freshman coeds, just out of high
schools, have been particularly
upset by the situation. Accus
tomed to looking to teachers for
guidance, the frosh are amazed
at the nightly disturbances caused
by the Summer students. Screams
of laughter, blaring vics, and
noisy halls render both study and
sleep impossible.
Student checkers feel that per
sons guilty of ignoring closing
hour regulations do so because
they are unfamiliar with the
rules. To clarify the situation,
WSGA representatives are meet
ing this week with Summer stu
dents.
that
authorities
that visiting students were in
formed that they would share
dorms with College coeds. Per
haps they were unaware of the
obligations which this , would en
tail. Perhaps they have not re
alized the necessity for coopera- .
tion. Perhaps they feel that coeds
are just trying to, exert authority.
Regardless of the reason for the
Summer students' thoughtlessness,
we hope for an immediate change
both in attitude and action. .
Dames To Sponsor

Forum Reveals
`ldeal Woman'
Freshman coeds found out what
to do and not to do last night at

of Men and women's judicial com
mittees, spoke on the topic, "The

men still had good old fashioned
ideas about coeds and wanted
good sports, intelligent conversa

fact that too much paint was "out"
and neatness important.
Miss Sykes said that being phy-•
sidally and mentally fit arid join,
ing in activities Tere the things
that counted most from the wo
man's point .Of view. .
The meeting was opened with
worship services conducted by the
worship committee, and then Miss
Sykes and Mr. -Ridenour spoke.
Their speeches were followed by
questions from the coeds. Mar
garet L. Chapman '46 led the
group in singing.
