.3 u. l-nh g4;--m-s- . 248 Dorm Names Spence Hall Inez Spence served as hostess of both a dormitory and the din- ing hall in 1956. In 1965, she became the director of women students for one year. Spence Hall houses 216 female students and was the first permanent residence hall, being occupied for the first time in 1968. Perkin Hall The Rev. and Mrs. Noel Perkin served as missionaries to Ar- gentina from 1918 to 1921. In 1926, Mr. Perkin became the di- ector of foreign mis- sions of the Assemblies of God. Perkin Hall is a 16 unit complex, con- structed in 1968-69, and houses the married students. Walther Hall Grace Walther was a former missionary to India. She served as the first dean of women students from 1955-1958. In 1958 she joined the Department of Education and Psychology.

He don- ated money for a scholarship as well as other programs. Krause Hall, the first men's residence hall, was occupied in 1970 and houses 216 male students. Scott Hall The Rev. Charles W. H. Scott served as executive director of the Department of A dorm by any other name Building personality e- can a dorm shape social life? eciding whether it's D Charles, Richard, or James for a boy; Spot, Rover, or Lassie for a dog; Lewis, Perkins, or Spence for a dorm, choosing a name can be difficult. Hours are spent look- ing into the history and char- acter of the name. Minds boggle with various combina- tions and thousands of sugges- tions. Tongues tire; from the endless repetition of the final two possibilities. Finally, par- ents proudly announce their decision, children settle di- sputes, and the Board of Directors selects the perfect name. The six residence halls, which bear the carefully select- ed names of men and women who served in various capaci- ties with the college and the Assemblies of God denomina- tion, have acquired their own personality and reputation. For example, Lewis Hall was unique in several ways. The newest dorm on campus housed four floors of girls and three floors of boys. The almost-equal co-ed dorm en- joyed exclusive use of the lobby, 24 hours a day. Added attractions included two 22- plus floors, one for the guys and one for'the girls, and an entire floor of psychology- department offices. Burgess Hall, also a co-ed dorm, contained one floor of guys and seven floors of girls. Debbie Highfill, junior said, Burgess has, a family-type atmosphere. Sometimes the RC. lresident counselorl has doughnuts for us on the desk. Just small things like that make it seem more like home. The guys on the floor are like brothers. Miss Highfill moved to Burgess from Walther Hall. Walther and Spence halls are the two entirely-female residences. The first floor lobbies provided a casual at- mosphere for boy and girl friends to talk, watch televi- sion, or studx. The second floor lobbies filled with soap- addicts during the afternoon episodes of such dramas as General Hospital or Days of our Lives. Krause and Scott halls housed only men. Competition and rivalry spirited the floors of each dorm during intramural games. More of the varsity athletes lived in Krause, creat- ing a stronger sports-oriented atmosphere, while Scott main- tained an average All-American reputation. . Students had a chance on 2 Friday evenings to discover for themselves the personality of each dorm. Second floor lob- bies were open from 7:30 pm. to 10 p.m., giving guys and girls the opportunity to visit and enjoy the unique environ- ments of each residence hag While Leigh Ann fulmer, junior, studies in the corner, Sharon Pratt, freshman, hold a quiet conversation on the phone in their room in Walther. Compensating for room- mates is an important part of dorm . .. life. gm.
