CAMPUS LIFE 12 - Saints be praised: South Hall to be named Submitted by Student Life Carroll students, staff, faculty and alumni forwarded 93 sugges tions of names of saints for Carroll College to consider in naming the campus' newest residence hall. The naming of South Hall after a saint follows the Carroll tradition of naming campus residences. Dr. Jim Hardwick, Vice President for Student Life, was impressed with the number of sub missions and the rationale submit ted for many of the suggestions. \Many Carroll community mem bers nominated saints who had connections with education, teach ing or students,\ said Hardwick. Examples include St. Thomas Aquinas, patron saint of universi ties, students or scholars; St. Giovanni Bosco, who worked with students to help them find places to meet, work and play; and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, who founded the first free Catholic school in the United States. Hardwick reported that some submissions by students offered a commentary on student life. One nominator suggested that South Hall should be named for St. Anthony, who you can pray to when you lose items, because \col lege students lose stuff all the time in their messy rooms.\ St. Michael the Archangel, one nomi nator offered, would protect stu dents who live in South Hall from getting sick. St. Joseph Cupertino was noted as being a poor reader and writer. • Cupertino was offered as a good intercessory for students who struggle with their academics. St. Raphael the Archangel was noted as not only being the patron saint of guardian angels, but was also the saint to turn to protect you from nightmares. St. Jerome was considered to be an example of a saint \who overcame a misspent youth.\ Hardwick found that many students clearly kept the stu dent experience in mind when sug gesting saint's names for the build ing. The role of South Hall at Carroll College prompted suggestions of some saint names. St. Lucia, the patron saint of eyes—\the light of the body\—would signify that South Hall represented a part of the vision of the future of Carroll. One student nominated Blessed John the 23rd to represent Carroll College's education of students on \openness to the Lord's work in modern society.\ St. Sophia Hall, one nominator suggested, would reflect that \with age comes wis dom\ to represent the role of jun iors and seniors on campus. One student suggested that the patron saint of Montana, Our Lady of the Pines, would be an appropriate name for the building. Carroll community members also suggested both living \Saints\ and recently deceased members of the faculty. Hunthausen Hall was suggested to recognize the contri butions of Archbishop Hunthausen to Carroll College. Rev. Gene Peoples was nominated as a living saint to consider in naming the new campus residence. Deceased faculty Fr. Dan Hillen and John Downs were cited as individuals who would inspire future residents of the building. One nomination provided a triple rationale for naming the building St. Thomas Hall: recog nizing the self-doubt of St. Thomas the Apostle; acknowledg ing the brilliant theology of St. Thomas Aquinas; and noting the contributions of college president Dr. Thomas Trebon to the vision of Carroll. Future church hierarchy was also noted as St. George was proposed in recognition of the naming of Bishop George Thomas, a Carroll alum, as the new bishop for the Diocese of Helena. Hardwick stated that a summary of all of the nominations will be submitted to a selection commit tee. A total of 38 saints were nomi nated in the process. The selec tion committee, which will consist of Carroll students, staff, faculty and alumni, will make the selec tion in May. Hardwick expects to have the new name on the building when students arrive in the fall. Borro: All-male no more BY EAMON HANSEN Staff Reporter Change has made its way to Carroll College throughout the years. Borromeo Hall is the last building on the Carroll campus to make the change from a single-sex dorm to a co-ed dorm. Column The ironic part of this change is that Saint Borromeo was the patron saint of seminarians. I can’t think of many seminaries that admit female occupants. This change has upset some of the residents of Borromeo. Many people that live on floors that are changing from male to female have expressed undeniable resentment towards administration for making these changes. “The brotherhood of the ONLY Carroll fraternity will be lost with the coming of girls,” says Kevin Harrington, a sophomore at Carroll. Change is inevitable. Change itself may be received warmly or not, but once the change has occurred, a byproduct is created. The byproduct of this change could be that everything works out, but it also could be that everything goes terribly awry; time will tell. Recent eviction notices cause conflict BY KEILA DAVIS Staff Reporter Unless you are severely unruly, you would never expect to receive an eviction notice on your dorm room door. But that is just what the residents of St. Charles Hall found on their doors the day before housing sign ups. The pleasantly worded notice simply stated that residents of St. Charles Hall would not be eligible to sign up for their same rooms next semester. Column According to Luk e Fortune, Director of Community Living, the decision to change St. Charles Hall into a sophomore dorm took place last year as a result of Guadalupe Hall becoming a first- year dorm. The administration needed somewhere to house the sophomores who would no longer be able to live in Guadalupe Hall. The problem most students have with the change is the lack of housing options. Junior and senior students that want to live on campus are forced to live in either South Hall or Borromeo Hall. “I think that since living in St. Charles is cheaper than living in South Hall, we should have that option here at Carroll,” said Jenny Klaja, a sopho more business major and resident of St. Charles Hall. In the coming school year, a single-occupancy room in St. Charles Hall will run students $1,715 per semester. A single bedroom in a four-person suite in South Hall will cost $1,980 per semester. That is a difference of $265 a semester. “The new building was expensive to build but provides a lot of amenities that many students can’t get off campus for free,” Fortune said. He pointed out that the suites are furnished and come equipped with cable, Internet, and utilities. The problem behind the recent housing changes was that they were misguided. The goal was to make campus living a more posi tive experience and to make students want to live on campus beyond the required two years. But I am afraid that the changes may have just added to the problem. Many students feel that they are being forced to live in the newly erected South Hall. It seems to me that the administration should consult students before any more housing changes take effect. There has already been discussion behind the changing of Guadalupe Hall into a first- year dorm and its questionable success. Just because it works at other schools doesn’t necessarily mean it will work here at Carroll. Carroll College is a unique school with a unique sense of community. My concern is that segregating the classes will do harm to that sense of community. The students of Carroll should be able to live together and interact with one another, not be isolated according to their year in school. Although the administration had good intentions, they failed to look at the big picture. Current hous ing changes not only take away our choices, they also take away our sense of community and fellow ship. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 28, 2004 VOLUME 87, NO. 7
