Edmund Randolph (insert), 1753-1813, was a member of the distinguished Randolph family of Virginia, in whose honor the residences were named. He attended to the College, was the first Attorney General of the U.S., and also served as Secretary of State.

Flexible Housing for the Future New Randolph Residences Open Up The plowing and pounding across from the Commons finally subsided this fall with the completion of the Ran- dolph Residences, a residence village of SIX buildings, designed to provide new architectural alternatives to the changing and varied social living needs of the stu- dents, as quoted from the pamphlet dis- tributed at the dedication on Oct. 11, Jack Morgan, Associate Dean for Resi- dence Hall Life, put It more simply: The Randolph Residences will provide flexi- ble housing for students in the future. Five of the six buildings provided accom- modations for 238 students, Giles and Pleasants were delegated mainly for sorority women while their houses were under renovation this year; Page and Harrison, coed dorms with single rooms, housed upperclassmen; and the two- bedroom apartments in Cabell were occupied mainly by graduate students. The remaining structure, Tazewell, was used as an activities center, the only building on campus providing such facili- ties specifically for the residences of a complex. Although occupants encountered some minor inconveniences upon mov- ing in (card key systems were still inoper- able and many permanent doors had yet to be installed), most seemed more than satisfied with the spanking new accom- modations. Air-conditioning was prob- ably the most frequently mentioned plus And though many were initially dubious about the location, a lot of students discov- ered they actually liked being close to the cafeteria and new campus. — J.B. ■ The very first residences of second floor Page Carole King, Jen Zulli, Naomi t oore, Janice Pickrell, and Lynn Stallings make cozy quarters of a single on the hall. — Photo by Lori Friedrich 24 Randolph Residences
