University of Virginia Library

RESIDENCE HALLS AND OTHER LIVING ACCOMMODATIONS

The University realizes that it is difficult to make social contacts in a
short summer term and for this purpose maintains a social program under
the direction of a general hostess at Madison Hall, whose aim is to promote
friendships amongst students and provide opportunity for recreational activities
for both men and women. Those students who live in the dormitories
of the University naturally have more social contacts.

1. Students living in the University dormitories are given excellent
accommodations at the lowest possible cost.

2. Meals can be obtained at cost at the University Commons which is
not operated for profit. Last session the charge was $32.75 for the term of
six weeks and $27.50 for the second term.

3. Students are convenient to the Library, class rooms, and Clark Hall,
where lectures are held during the Institute of Public Affairs.

4. Opportunity to act as Host or Hostess is given from time to time
to those who are interested.

5. It is possible to go to one's room between classes and rest or study
as all class rooms are nearby. Students living in the Halls have private
living rooms where guests may be received.

6. Deck tennis and croquet courts are provided on the grounds.

7. Each dormitory has a student host or hostess and student government
is maintained.

8. Rogers and Peters Halls are reserved for graduate students.

Each student who makes a reservation in the dormitory should read very
carefully the information given below:

1. Applications for rooms in the dormitories must be accompanied by a
retaining fee of $1.00 per person, the remainder to be paid on arrival at the
University to the Secretary, Peabody Hall.

2. Keys for the rooms will be available at the Summer Quarter Office.
One dollar deposit is required for keys to the Halls and a twenty-five cent
deposit for all keys to Ranges and refund will be made only when key is
returned by person paying deposit. Each student should be prepared to pay
in full for the room in order to secure his or her room key. It is preferable
that a check be sent in advance so that the student may have a receipt to
present for the key. Checks should be made payable to the University of

Virginia and sent to the Secretary of the Summer Quarter, Box 1337, University,
Virginia.

3. Rooms will be ready for occupancy June 12, noon.

4. If a room is not claimed by the first day of instruction, and no notice
has been received by the Secretary, the reservation will be cancelled and the
room rented to another person.

5. The right to occupy a room is not transferable, so that it is not possible
for any student to hold a room for another person. If the occupant's
name does not appear on the room book at the office of the Summer Quarter
no reservation is considered made.

6. Individual preferences in regard to roommates will be complied with,
when possible, and for this reason it is urged that the name of roommate and
his or her address be given when application for reservation is made. If this
information is not given the Secretary will assign someone to fill the vacancy.
This is important in the event one wishes to select his or her roommate. There
will be a charge of fifty cents for any person changing an original assignment.

7. Each occupant of a dormitory room must provide pillow, linens and
whatever rugs or curtains may be desired. Cooking is not allowed in the
dormitory. The University has a very limited number of pillows which may
be rented but students are requested to bring their own if possible.

8. Mail should be addressed to the room number with the name of the
dormitory and it will be delivered in mail receptacles in the hallway for
ordinary incoming mail. Registered and insured mail for the Halls will be
delivered to the Manager's Office, Venable Basement, and from there to the
addressee.

9. Students who wish to remain for the Second Term of the Summer
Quarter should sign up for the rooms at the Summer Quarter Office. Those
who wish to occupy the same room for both terms should make reservation
before July 15. After this date reservations will be considered in order of application.

10. Refund for retaining fee sent in prior to opening of session will not
be made if request is received after June 5. No refund will be allowed for key,
pillow or bulb for the First Term if returned to the office after noon, Saturday,
July 25 and no refund will be allowed for the Second Term unless key, pillow
or bulb is returned by noon, August 29. Each student must call in person for
refund.

11. Students must vacate rooms reserved for the First Term only, by
noon, Saturday, July 25 and the second term students must vacate not later
than noon, Saturday, August 29.

Regulations in the Dormitories.—Each Hall and the Lawns will have a
committee in charge selected by those rooming therein with the student hostess
as chairman (there will be a student hostess living in each Hall and on the
Lawns) and this committee will arrange for entertainment and recreation, and
enforce regulations made by those rooming in the buildings, subject to the
rule of the Administration.

The Administration of the Summer Quarter requires that women students
dismiss men guests and be in their rooms by 11:30 at night, except Saturday
night when they will be permitted company and leave until 12:30 without permission.
Permission for leave after this time must be obtained from the
hostess in charge of the Hall.
