Published SI-Monthly by T he Western Kentucky State Normal School Vol. 4. BOWUNG GREEN, KY., JANUARY, 1921. No.5 • • THE ABOVE PICTURE WAS MADE FROM THE TOP OF A BUILDING IN J ONESVILLE. THE GIRl.S' NEW BOARDING HOME IS SHOWN ON THE HILL AND THE VILLAGE IN THE !<'QREGnOU!\'D. MANY ATTRACTIVE LI'l'TLE BlJiLDINGR iN THE CEDARS ARE NOTJHOWN IN THE P ICTURE. THE ROOMIN(; AND BOARDING· NUMBER OF NORMAL HEIGHTS The Mid-Wintcl' TCl'm begins on Tuesday, F ebruary 8th, at 9 :30 A. M. Hundreds of students will cnier at that time. If possible, students should be here on Monday, February 7th, for enrollment and classification. All students are urged to bring with them blankets, quilts, com· forts, towels, etc. This will lessen expense and aid in making effective arrangements for rooms. The Western Nonnalls working out every detail connected with 'e rooming and boarding problem. It is highly gratified over the mendous success which it has achieved along these lines. With Jper co-operation on the part of the prospective student, it believes vill be able to provide for rooming and boarding accommodations lOminal rates for every incoming student. The student, however, sfiould read every line of this issue of N onnal Heights and follow care-fully the suggestions made. The Girls' New Boarding Hottle is one of the greatest build-ings of its kind ever constructed in this country. It is a reinforced concrete and steel building, and is absolutely fire proof. It occupies a commanding position on Normal Heights and is modern in every respect. The parlor is 40x70 feet and will be handsomely equipped. A color scheme is being worked out that will be most attractive. Each student room will have two indoor Murphy beds which can be folded inside of closets during day, and also a day bed which will be very attractive. The day bed is equipped with a good mattress, modern springs, etc. It really adds attractiveness to the room during the day. The rooms are also equipped with a students' table 26x42 inches, a c1aiffonier, three chairs, a brussels rug 6x9 feet, and two closets. Three students will occupy each room and each studcnt will have a separate bed. It will be a handsome living room during the day and an un· excelled sleeping apartment at night. The building is heated by steam from a central plant, is lighted by electricity, has modern shower and tub baths, toilet arrangements, and other modern equipment. The landscape view from the students ' rooms is not surpassed in America. The room rent for three in a room per student per scholastio month is $6.50. i'his includes the expense for light ing, heating, baths, and other things. The school provides for the upkeep of the beds, in-cluding pillows, sheeting, pillow cases, and the laundering of the same, but the student must .furnish blankets, quilts, or comfol'ts. All are urged not to overlook th~ fact that ~hey are ~xpected to fu:nish such articles as they may deSIre for thClr beds WIth the excepbon of t~e articles enumerated above. Students are expected to care for theU' rooms. 1'be institution has also arranged for a limited number of doublc 'bed couches instead of the single day beds, which will offer four stu-dents an opportunity to occupy the same room. These students will have the samc advantages that any other tltudent bas and will be ex-pected to furnish the same articles. The only difference is the rate charged. A rate of $5.00 per student per scholastic month will be charged when four people occupy \he same room. Tbese rooms, like the others, will have indoor beds. The double bed sanitary couches can be folded in such a way as to make them attractive pieces of equip-ment during the day. The student rooms, even when four persons occupy them, can be made attractive living rooms during the day. One of the most modern qining rooms and kitchens that has,-ever been constructed, is located itt the basement of the new building. The building being located on a hill, makes the basement as attractive as any other story of the building. Plans have been worked out by which at least 800 table boarders can secure meals daily. A rate of $4.50 for table board .per week , .... jJl be charged all students who take their meals \ at this great central culinary department. A well pre-pared, wholesome, and abundant meal will be served. New kitchen and dining room equipment is bcing installed and the central culinary de· partment will be open for the fivat meal on Saturday, February 5th. A school laundry with modern equipment, including washers, a dryer, wringers, ironing boards, electric irons, etc., together 'With modern plumbing connections, are being installed in a large room in the basement of the new building. A small charge of fifteen cents per week per student will be charged for the use of the laundry. This a8~ sessment is made with a view of meeting a part of the actual expense for electricity, soap, and other outlays absolutely necessary. The amount assessed will not meet the actual cost for electricity and other items. No charge whatever is beUlg made for the cost of the equip-ment of the la'lUldry. A dose examination of the picture on this page will give you a very inadequate idea of The Village which bas been developed in the interest of the rooming and boarding problem. The picture was made from the top of a rcsidence in Jonesville. Many attractive little buildings in the cedars are not shown in the picture. The Village is a tremendous success. Many earnest st.udents are taking advantage of the same and are reducing their expense for rooming and boarding to a nominal rate_ A full dcscription of the Village, together vlith the financial arrangements, was published in the last issue of Normal Heights. Persons who have not read this description should send for a copy. For fear that some prospective student may overlook the state-ment published elsewhere in this circular, we repeat that every stu-dent who enters here should bring with her enough blankets, quilts, comforts, etc., to fW'llish one bed. The Western Normal has never enjoyed as briO'ht an outlook for a great piece of educational work as it does at this time. We have every assurance that the building will be finished equipped and every detail conn~cted with th.e ro~millg and boarding' problem ~vorked out by th.e op.enmg of the ],~ld-\Vmter Term. The attenoance at the pres-ent hme IS larger than It has ever been at this season of the year. The little chapter house, the dining room of the harracks etc. have been made into rooming quarters. They provide for many stu~ dents. The roof of the stone house on Normal Heights has been re-moved and the house made into a commodious and attractive two story residence. ' In ~d~ition to this, a pro-slate house and two permanent modern frame bm!dmgs have been constructed. The buildings will offer ac-commodabons for many students. A rate ranging from $4.00 to $6.50 per month per student will be charged for these rooms. The .la~ge ki~chen and dining room that is being ,installed in the new bmldmg WIU accommodate 800 table boarders. All students of the ~nstitution, regardless o~ th~ir rooming places, will have an op-portunIty to take advantage of this great central boarding place. Hundreds of teachers are making use of the opportunities of-fered by the Depar tment of Correspondence and Extension. COlle to the Normal if you can.
