VE T'S HALL Veterans Hall, which was built in 1947, is just a memory now. It was torn down in Ianuary to make room for a parking lot tor the residents of Arkansas Hall. Previously, Vets Hall was two women's dormi- tories in Iacksonville. It was removed from the lack- sonville Ordinance Plant, where supplies were con- structed during the war. The cost of moving the dor- mitories from Iacksonville to ASTC was S85,000. The two dormitories were combined into one, which housed 122 men. Vets had an automatic sprinkler system inside in case of fire, and in addition to residence rooms, a laundry room, refreshment and recreation center, and television lounge were provided for the WINGO HALL student residents. The cost of removing Vets from the campus was 33500. The area where Vets was will be partly a parking lot and partly lawn space. This space for the lawn and the parking lot will be completed in the summer. Wingo Hall, located on the southeast corner of the campus, is a residence hall for married students. It was constructed in 1935. The building consists of one, two and three-room apartments. The hall is named for one of the founders of ASTC, Otis T. Wingo. Mrs. Nolen Irby serves as hostess of the residence hall.
