PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS By MARY JOE SINGH I’m one of those hardy souls who go through college with an egg turner in one hand and a Shakespeare book in the other. I’m a “Mrs.” facing the problem of being both a housewife and a student as I did two years ago when I was first married, I de cided to tackle them one at a time before trying them both. It was a good idea too, because when I was a housewife I had the student problem conquered, and when I was a student I had the housewife problem solved. At any rate my husband, a State College student, and I were married just before my junior year at Meredith. We thought it wise that I become acquainted with the art of cook ing (I was somewhat like the bride who couldn’t boil water) before returning to school; so I didn’t come back to school the first semester. The culinary difficulties mani fested themselves in burnt bis cuits, burnt chicken, burnt peas, and burnt everything. I never undercooked anything. Most couples have to wait some time before owning their Drop in or Call RAINBOW FLORIST for your FLORAL NEEDS Phone 7646 home, but we began married life with our own little cottage, an economy-sized three room house in West Haven on the State Col- iege campus. The day we moved in we possessed one wing-back chair and a white Persian cat named Lady Macbeth. It was an interesting life. Having no hot water or a bathroom, we shared the community bathhouse with about fifty other couples. We were willing to try to overcome this handicap, but the lone cold water faucet we did have froze at the first hint of cold weather, the diminutive bedroom never got warm, and we had to lean forward every time we went from the kitchen to the bedroom because there was only half a door, half of the house having been attached to the other half on a steep hill. And I never did get used to trudging up that long hill in the cold chill of early morning to take a shower. And try packing twenty people into the matchbox-sized living room. After we acquired more furni ture, we had to move it out of the living room so the people who came to see us could squeeze in.
