PI II! Men ' s Residence Hall An important step toward the expansion of Butler University was taken with the addition of the Men ' s Residence Hall located at 629 West Hampton Drive. Costing approximately $1,000,000, it was the first such building on the Fairview campus and preceded a women ' s dormitory which the University started this spring. The building and the men residents are under the direct super- vision of Dr. L. Gray Burdin, Dean of Men. His aids are Mrs. Avanelle Atchinson (left), office manager; Herb Dixon (left), resident advisor; and Jack Bowers, second-floor counsellor. The dorm has rooms for 278 men students and three counsellors. At the present time, 166 men are living there, representing 18 states, the Philippine Islands and the Canal Zone. Each room has facihties for two men with rsvo lounge-type beds, double desks, lounge chair, night table, three lamps and double clothes closets. The hall also has a fully-equipped game room and a lounge, which is the largest single area in the dorm.
