THE MANSION Sophomore Julie Hoskins and Junior Patty Gaskill began their one year tenure in May 1985 as co-curators of the Campbell Mansion and among their responsibilities was giving tours to visitors. The two women treasured the privacy that came along with living in the Mansion ' s apartment, but they admitted there was an adjustment period. They were afraid at first of the haunted house sounds which were not helped by friends coming out to the secluded house just to scare them. Julie and Patty explained that although it is a requirement that the curators be Disciples of Christ, they need not be reli- gious studies majors. The two found the experience a good opportunity to meet new people and develop good communica- tions skills. This was the first year women were given the chance to act as curators and they were glad to have been the ones. :i -, ' ALEXANDER CAMPBELL Here lived the leading influence in America ' s largest Indigenous religious movement.
