Your New Home... After moving into the dorm, you'll soon find that not all knowledge comes from books and class lectures. The moment you walk into your room and say hello to your roommates, your education of learning to live closely with others in dorm life begins. Whether you live in Currier Hall, Burge Hall, Kate Daum House, or Carrie Stanley Hall, you'll find ample accommodations for studying, sleeping, and socializing. Helping hands will be awaiting your arrival at the dorm. Movable carts and racks are supplied on which you can load your belongings. Head to the elevator and to your new home! You and your "roomies" can divide drawer and closet space, and we've often found it necessary to purchase a small lingerie chest in Iowa City (which saves transporting it). A preview of a three-person room: a single and a bunk bed, lavatory, study lamps, and pillows and blankets. Walls are color-coordinated with the draperies and bedspreads. Sheets and pillowcases are provided weekly, and in the basement of the dorm are coin-operated washing machines and dryers for the rest of your laundry. Space is also reserved for drip-dry cottons and nylons. During the day and early evening the Currier Snack Bar and the Carnival Room in Burge are open for meals and snacks. For those hunger pains at midnight and study breaks, vending machines offer fruit, popcorn, soda pop, ice cream, and so forth. Just around the corner from your room is a kitchenette. On the main floor of Burge Hall and at the Currier Information Desk are canteens selling candy, magazines, stamps, shampoo, and even providing cleaning delivery service to the downtown cleaners. Look for typing and recreation rooms equipped with electric dry irons. You will also find lounges for studying and socializing. It takes a few weeks to completely explore the dorm facilities. Opportunities abound for participation in dormitory-sponsored social, cultural, and political spheres. You'll be able to take part in float building, intramural sports, and interdorm dances. Assistance is always needed in editing the house newsletter or planning an art exhibit. Dorm government is divided into units according to respective houses for adequate representation. An adviser, who is a senior or graduate woman, lives on your hall and awaits your arrival. She is the person who will aid with problems and help you get settled. Her door is usually open for questions or just for talk. Nurses are on duty in the dorms when Student Health is closed. As you can see, the residence halls and services are equipped to meet your needs. 8
