5. About students and non-students living together 2. About house meetings When you live in an approved student home, you share the home with other students, and the resident family only. The house director is permitted to rent to students only, unless, in exceptional cases, the Housing Division gives her special permission to do otherwise. Moreover, if members of the resident family live on the same floor, and share the bathroom with students, they must be of the same sex as the students. There is supposed to be lounge space available for holding weekly house meetings in all approved student homes. REGULATIONS Y O U SHOULD K N O W O N HEALTH A N D SAFETY . . . 7. About utilities There should be enough heat in each study room so that you'll be comfortable from seven in the morning until eleven at night, during the heating season. "Comfortable" means between 68 and 72 degrees at knee height. There must also be enough ventilation and proper control of relative humidity. You should be able to have hot water from 6:30 in the morning until 10 o'clock at night. 2. About safety inspections All approved homes are expected to live up to state and city regulations on safety, so that your life and property will be protected, and fire hazards eliminated. The house director has to get certificates of safety approval from the right city authorities if her house is to be approved. There should be an inspection for fire safety once a year. 3. About the disposal of refuse Coffee Time at the lllini Union Coffee House Cafeteria You are requested to get rid of any refuse you may have accumulated by putting it in fireproof baskets or cans that the house director must provide. 4. About student illness REGULATIONS Y O U SHOULD K N O W O N SERVICE . . . ?. About telephones The house director is required to provide a phone for your use. At the same time, you are supposed to be reasonable about using it. It is all right for her to have a pay-station phone. Rules about when you may use the phone, how long you may talk, and how you are to pay for long-distance calls should be posted where everyone can see them. In case of emergency, a phone must be available at any hour of the day or night. 38 If you can't attend classes because of accident or illness, your house director is supposed to report the matter to the University Health Service right away, unless a local doctor has already examined you and has made arrangements for you to be taken care of in a local hospital. This rule is necessary so that the University will be certain that you receive medical care immediately, and that the other students in your house will be protected. If you should go to McKinley Hospital (that's the University hospital), the staff will try to let your house director know within twelve hours after you enter. 39
