NU Code To Affect
Ail Student Houses
E. W. Simpson, director of the
University Division of Environmen
tal Health, has announced that
University health and sanitation
officials are presently devising a
"minimum housing standards"
code which will eventually give
the University, not the city, stu
dent housing jurisdiction.
Simpson will present the finished
code to the Board of Regents some
time early in 1958 for their ap
proval after he has met with or
ganized student groups to discuss
the proposed housing standards.
University organized houses, co
operatives, dormitories, and all
rooming houses approved for stu
dents will come under the ruling
of the housing code.
A specific ruling from the Board
of Regents Rules gives the hous
ing code its authority. Student
housing which does not comply
with the code's stipulations may
be declared '"off limits."
Last year when the housing code
was first discussed with Univer
sity organizations rumor had it
that extensive revisions in pres
ent fraternity and sorority facil
ities would result from active en
forcement of the code.
According to Simpson the code
is trying to revise rules to meet
existing conditions or require only
minor changes.
The date for required conform
ance has been postponed until 1965.
The reason for this change, Simp
son stated, is the expense entailed.
Specific items in the code will
be stricter sanitation standards for
