tory and medicine cabinet, a telephone, shelves, study desks and lamps, pillows, and gay draperies and bedspreads that are color-coordinated with walls and floors. A weekly linen service will provide you with clean sheets, and you can take care of the rest of your laundry in the coin-operated machines in the basement of the dorm. If you are hungry, explore the Currier Snack Bar and the Carnival Room in Burge Hall. There are vending machines nearby for midnight snacks, and each unit has a kitchenette where you can make popcorn or coffee and heat canned foods. The Burge store on first floor carries items like candy and cookies, stamps, pens, and shampoo, and it will no doubt save you many hurried trips downtown. As you explore your dormitory's facilities you will discover typing and recreation rooms, ironing rooms equipped with electric dry irons, and lounges for studying and special meetings. Not only will group living in the U of I's residence halls provide you with excellent facilities, you will also have the opportunity to participate in dorm projects, such as your house newspaper, float-building, intramural sports, and student government. The dorms are large, and so dorm government is broken down into small units. An adviser, usually a senior or graduate student, works with each unit and lives with these girls. Your adviser's room will be in your hall, and she will be waiting to meet you when you arrive. She was chosen for the job of adviser because she is a good student, responsible, and mature, and you will find that she can help as you get settled into college life. Your adviser is prepared to aid you with problems you may encounter in your new environment. If you have a question about courses, dorm regulations, or just want to talk, she is the one to see. If she can't answer some of your questions she may refer you to the residence hall counselors, who will be ready to assist you in any way possible. The Student Health Center is available to take care of your medical needs, one of the many services that University students receive. Student Health functions as the "family doctor" to U of I coeds, and is assisted by the nurses in each dormitory who are on duty whenever Student Health is closed. Like the other aspects of your college life, the residence halls and the various student services are designed especially to meet your needs. Some girls may choose to live with families in Iowa City, where they will be under the same University regulations as other students. They, too, may find the facilities that are suited to their needs and tastes, and will have a chance to participate in special organizations with other students living off-campus, such as Town Men-Town Women. Traveling Clothes When you pack to come to The University of Iowa, travel light and fill the remaining part of your suitcase with ambition and enthusiasm. You need little other than your own good taste as a guide. Don't exhaust your total budget on new clothes, because all the clothes you have now will be like new to the U of I campus. We've never seen them! A campus this size features a wide variety of styles and dress. It isn't necessary to have lots of clothes; except for casual skirts and sweaters you'll need only a few items from each category of dressy dresses or suits, formals, and coats.
