Title A name given to the resource Newspaper Article – Laundry Subject The topic of the resource The Breeze, periodical, newspaper, news, James Madison University, students, laundry, policy Description An account of the resource 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. 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.] Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource The Breeze Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived The Breeze Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available James Madison University Libraries and Educational Technologies Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 05-Sept-78 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource For information on publishing or citation of an item in a non-educational, fair use context, please contact Special Collections.
