The dryers have two temperatures - permanently wrinkled and baked to a golden crunch." "Now, now, it can't be all that bad," he consoled. This could be a typical conversation between two new students in their first excursion to the campus laundry. Although some complained over the dryers that got so hot the size nine jeans came out size five and the white pillow cases that were transformed into a dingy yellow, the laundry proved itself to be a helpful and convenient Essner, Antllony ............
