Dorm Room Rent Approval by Nittany dorm council of the administration’s revised plan for rents on dou ble rooms occupied by one man is a prime ex ample of the kind of cooperation that will help s to make everyone’s life at Penn State easier and more amiable. Were some of the other stu dent-administration problems that arise settled as easily, there might be better feeling all around and a less tense atmosphere in which to live. AT FIRST GLANCE, the administration plan to raise the rent on men living alone in double rooms seemed to be extreme, yet it cannot be denied that those mem have—through no fault or merit of their own—greater privileges for the rent paid than men with roommates. It was largely the fact that they themselves were not responsible for their living alone in double rooms that prompted the intense feeling gener ated. Under the new plan—already accepted by one of the three men’s dorm councils—there will be no rent increase for those men who signify that they will be willing to accept roommates if roommates can be found. Rents will be raised only for those who refuse to accept roommates. Of course, the new plan will not be balm for every man involved. Some, no doubt, will that the rents for those who refuse roommates are too high—they are above the rates for single rooms. Perhaps the administration also can restudy the rental structure with a view to possible downward .revision. Now that the Nittany council and the ad ministration have' got together on a plan for settling the issue, it is to be hoped that the other councils will go along with what seems to be the best solution to a rugged situation.
