"Trenching In" Now that you have had a quick drill on the physical setup of Iowa City, it is time to find your new living quarters which will soon be "your home away from home." Rooms open to undergraduate women include those in Burge and Currier Halls, approved private homes, and sorority houses (open only to upperclassmen). The fun of group living is awaiting you. If your destination is Burge or Currier, the staff is looking forward to meeting you at the main desk. At the unloading docks of either residence hall you will find movable racks on which to hang clothes and carts to carry your belongings by elevator to your room. There you will meet your new roommates! Together you can divide up the drawer and closet space and start making yourselves at home. Your room will be equipped with single or bunk beds, study desks and lamps, attractive draperies, and bedspreads that are color-coordinated with walls and floors. You and your "roomies" will probably want to add your individual touch to the room. The simple courtesies of cooperation and sharing are important to keep in mind, as you will share the telephone in your room, the combination-lock mail box, and the sewing machines, ironing facilities, washers, and dryers which are in constant demand. Extra dorm conveniences you'll appreciate include self-service elevators, clean bed linen once a week, and room cleaning service twice a week. At the main desk in Currier and in a small store in Burge you may purchase small personal items and send your laundry out to the local cleaners. Automatic washers and drying units are found in the basement of each hall. If you bring along appliances such as electric coffee makers, steam irons, or popcorn poppers, they are to be used in the kitchenettes or pressing rooms on each of the floors. In the pressing and recreation rooms, vending machines contain milk, soft drinks, and other refreshments to be enjoyed during study breaks. Numerous cheerful lounges, typing rooms, and a small library, provided by either dorm, are ideal for studying. During certain hours, male visitors may be entertained in the ground-floor lounges. Nourishing meals are served in the dining rooms three times daily, except for Sunday night when the cooks are given a rest after a scrumptious noon dinner. Between-meal hunger pangs vanish at Currier's snack bar with its variety of tempting foods. The Carnival Room in Burge serves hungry coeds and their friends, couples on coke or study dates, and groups seeking pleasant surroundings. 6
