Tour the Town [hand drawing of bus] At last you've reached the outskirts of our SUI campus and town. In the distance rises the faint outline of Old Capitol, our landmark of Old Gold tradition and the pride of a busy young student body. Move more slowly now and view the entire rolling landscape. To the west, nestled high on a bluff above the Iowa River, is Westlawn dormitory, housing student nurses. Nearby are the University Hospitals (including a Student Health Center to scare away your sundry aches and pains), our football stadium and Field House. Along the banks of the river stand the Art Building, University Theatre, Iowa Memorial Union, Library, and University Experimental Schools. Everything looks big and puzzling to you as a visitor; such a maze of buildings and, oh, so many people. You glance around and see a couple of students walking nearby. They wave, and you smile back. Iowa is large, but it is a friendly school, and you are soon to become a welcome part of its intermingled personalities. The stop sign is flashing green, so follow the "Turn Left" arrow across the Iowa Avenue bridge. Old Capitol amid the Pentacrest comes into clearer focus now. Take a swing up the Women's Gym hill, and you'll be able to catch a glimpse of the Chemistry, Law, and Dental Buildings on the left. Further east stands East Hall, with the hubbub of speech pathology, psychology, and education majors. And from nearby in the Music Building resound the chants of aspiring young musicians. Beyond the main campus shine the neon signs of downtown Iowa City. In this small, yet adequately large business district, you'll discover all the conveniences and services for a coed's needs. The two local banks will be pleased to advise and accommodate you in financial matters, and most of the stores in the area cash small checks upon presentation of a student identification card. (Students receive ID cards after school gerts under way to be used for plays, concerts, lectures, and athletic events.) In addition to the ever-popular drugstores and sportswear shops, travel connections for the Rock Island Railroad, United Airlines, and several bus lines are also available to you. More campus lies to the south of town, but there'll be plenty of time later to take in the Communications Center and Engineering Building. With these and many more things to see and people to meet, you've already decided to linger a while longer at SUI. Let's then be off to find a place to stay. 4
