Rebekah Re d ne of the key aspects of life at Agnes Scott is the dormito- ries. These buildings be- come our homes for the four years of our stay at the school, so we would like for them to be comfort- able and beautiful. This year the ■enovation of two dormitories. Main and Rebekah, was completed and students had the privilege of living in a grand, Victorian setting. Twenty- five percent of the freshman class, as well as sophomores, juniors, and seniors call Rebekah Hall their home. Rebekah Scott Hall has a long histo- y. It was erected in 1906. Eighty ears later it has been rededicated. ?ebekah was the second perma- ient structure after Main. Before its completion the school had to turn students away for lack of room. The dormitory received its name from Rebekah Buchner Scott, the wife of 3eorge Washfngton Scott, the prin- ciple influence in the founding of Agnes Scott. Rebekah houses 51 student rooms, Rebekah Reception Room, a conference room, and the Admissions Office. The offices of Stu- dent Activities and the Chaplain are temporarily located there.

What ' s Missing R eturning students noticed it as soon as they returned to school fall se- mester in late Au- gust. Like a grin with a tooth miss- ing, the Hub had disappeared. In it ' s place was a muddy expanse where new grass was beginning to grow. The Murphy Vandler Building, or nicknamed, has changed roles many times. It started out as the Li- brary, then around 1960 it housed ASC ' s ONE T.V. and was the only place on campus where students were allowed to smoke. (Hence the name.) Most recently, it served as the only building that males were allowed to enter twenty-four hours a day. Many Scotties enjoyed sunbath- ing on the roof, playing pool, ping- Administration and students alike, that were present on campus when the actual breaking down occured re- marked that it was one of the saddest moments they had ever experienced. pong, or just hanging out with friends. The Hub was witness to such great events as the Exam Teas, latenight fire-drills, blood drives, Kyr- ios, and surprise birthday parties. Administration and students alike that were present on campus when the actual breaking down occured remarked that it was one of the saddest moments they had ever experienced. Feelings were mixed as one Scottie remarked I liked it, but they had to get rid of it since it wasn ' t safe. Most students miss the Hub, but are getting used to it not . being there. With the new openings of Main and Rebekah, many activi- ties have been relocated. (Except the latenight fire-drills, unfortunately they are still where the Hub used to be!) The space allows a better view of the library and more grassy areas for the students to enjoy. We also hope that the new student activity cen- ter will help fill the void for a place to relax and gather together with friends.
