Reconnaissance [hand drawing to right] Alighting Iowa City, your attention will be drawn immediately to the historic Old Capitol, once home of the state government, now administrative center of our University. Standing so stately in the center of the Pentacrest, it is symbolic of SUI life and tradition. To the west, nestled high on a bluff above the Iowa River, is Westlawn dormitory, the home of junior and senior student nurses. Nearby are the University Hospitals and Student Health Center designed to serve your medical needs; our football stadium; and the Fieldhouse. Down along the banks of the river stand the Art Building, University Theatre, Iowa Memorial Union, Library, and University Experimental Schools. At first sight everything looks big and puzzling - such a maze of buildings and, oh, so many people. You glance around and see a group of students walking nearby. They wave and you smile back. Iowa is large, but it is a friendly school, eager for new personalities and faces to enter its doors of opportunity. Coming back across the Iowa Avenue Bridge, we this time follow the "Turn Left" arrow and prepare to scout the northern sector of the campus. We take a swing up the hill by the Women's Gym and are able to catch a glimpse of the Chemistry, Law and Dental Buildings on the left. Further east stands East Hall, its corridors echoing with the lively chatter of speech pathology, psychology, and education majors. And from the Music Building next door resound the chants of aspiring musicians. Beyond the main campus shine the neon signs of downtown Iowa City. In this small, but friendly business district, you'll discover all the conveniences and services to suit a coed's needs. The two local banks will be most happy to advise and accommodate you in your financial matters, and most of the stores in the area cash small checks upon presentation of a student identification card - this is sent to you upon admission to SUI and is your ticket to plays, concerts, lectures and athletic events. In addition to the ever popular drugstores and sportswear shops, travel connections via the Rock Island Railroad, Ozark Airlines, and several bus companies are also available to you. More of the campus lies to the south of town, but there'll be plenty of time later to survey 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. 6
