    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[This article in The Breeze discusses the transition to self-service laundry. Since the opening of the school, student laundry had been cleaned by school-hired personnel. At first the service was free, but before discontinuing laundry services in 1978 the school was charging students $27 a year. Automatic washers and dryers were added into dormitory spaces to compensate for the discontinuation.<br />
<br />
Similarly, as early as the 1960s, dormitories were equipped with “electric irons and ironing boards,” in each kitchenette, giving students “no excuse for you to not look like a ‘slick chick’ when you leave your dormitory.” [Quote from: “Listen Freshman,” Booklet, ca. 1960s.]]]></dcterms:description>
