Clark Says Area
'No Fire Hazard'
Russell E. Clark, director of
housing, said yesterday that Pol
lock 1 Circle and Nittany dorms
are not fire hazards.
He said that the recent fire in
Moffatt hall had been caused by
an oil burner in a maintenance
shop in the basement. The rea
son that the fire had been so
severe, he stated, was the amount
of inflammable material which
had been temporarily stored
there.
Furniture, bedding and other
furniture and materials taken
from the vacated dorms in Pol
lock and Nittany were stored in
the dorm while a suitable storage
place was being constructed.
He said that up until the time
of the fire, maintenance men had.
been working on a storage room
in Irvin hall where the materials
could be stored in safety.
