Hundreds Attend “Open House” of ISew Women’s ResidenceMore than one thousand people flooded the campus recently to go through the new women’s residence hall, which was opened to the public for inspection for the first time. This modern edifice, constructed at a cost of approximately $400,-000.00, is one of the best-equipped buildings to be found on any campus.All student rooms are furnished with maple-colored metal furniture, while the suites which are provided for staff and faculty personnel are furnished with modern pieces. The corridors, done in a restful green shade, are wainscoated in knotty pine with a hard-rubbed finish. There is an abundance of storage space on each floor.Realizing that an adequate supply of pure water is healthy as well as satisfying, each floor has two drinking fountains of pure, cool water. Another health asset is the equipment for purifying and cooling the air. Both of these facilities are electrically operated.Provisions are made for the residents to do their personal laundry in service rooms- located on each floor, where metal racks for drying clothes are provided.An infirmary, with private bath, is located on the third flooi^An unusual feature is the three dimensioned mirrors with shadow-less lighting which are located oneach floor.The color scheme of the rooms and of the bathrooms on each floor is different. A reading room and lounge, available for small residence corridor parties as well as for group meetings, is located on the top floor.The ground floor houses a residence laundry cdtTtaining a Bendix and stationary tubs; an attractive lounge with adjoining kitchenette where students may entertain guests, dance, relax and play, and facilities for a six-unit beauty lounge.Upon completing the tour through the new building, guests were escorted to Crogman Dining Hall, where they were served refreshments by women members of the faculty and wives of some of the male faculty members.Credit for the tastefulness of color scheme and the attractive furnishings of the hall is due to Mrs. James P. Brawley and Mrs. Phoebe Burney.
