The newest dormitory on campus, North Hall, was opened in 1965, and holds 53 men. The head resident is Mr. William C. Dunn, Jr. North is unique in its possession of the only color tele- vision on campus, and the popularity of the TV was evidenced last October when “The Great Pumpkin” was featured. President of North this year was Dale Bala. He was assisted by Doug Gehrke, vice president, and by Dick Leighninger, secretary-treasurer. Other House Council members were Terry Leight and Larry Slightom. This year North Hall was the recipient of a trophy awarded to dormitories with high grade point averages. North competed with Graham for the cup. North also received second prize in the Homecoming decoration contest. In February, an open house was held, fol- lowed by a house party with entertainment and door prizes.

Honor dormitories were an experiment in 1966-1967. In order to accommodate more women students at Blackburn, the College rented and bought two good- sized homes in town. Together the honor dorms hold 23 women, selected on a volunteer basis. The women are on their honor to follow women’s dormitory regulations in regard to hours, overnights, and out-of-town permissions, and there are no head residents. Men students are permitted into the parlors of each house. Weathering Heights, the name of the larger house, is located on East First North Street.
