Honor Residence: A New Concept In
Residence Hall Living
An honor — without an “s” — residence
hall will be established at Mars Hill for
1979-80, using the Townhouses, accord
ing to housing director Jim Davidson.
The 48 spaces available will be open to
any student who applies and can demon
strate his/her commitment to the princi
ples of such a residence hall.
According to Davidson, it will be an
experiment in campus housing which
will be evaluated during and at the end
of the coming school year. If it proves
successful and appears to be something
in which students are interested, it
could be expanded in subsequent years.
The new residential arrangement is to
be distinguished from what is known on
some campuses as “an honors — with an
‘s’ — dorm.” That is a situation in which
only students with high academic aver
ages are eligible. High grade point aver
age will not be a requirement for assign
ment in the experimental program at
Mars Hill. The word “honor” in the local
title refers to the personal integrity of
the students involved rather than to their
academic skills.
The Townhouses segment of the Dick-
son-Palmer Complex was chosen for the
honor residence experiment because of
its dual level construction, which will
permit the housing of men on one level
and women on the other. The units
consist of eight-person suites with two-
person rooms and a common living room
and kitchen facilities in each suite.
The setting up of the experimental
program is the result of a proposal for
such housing initiated by a group of stu
dents led by Joe Knight, a rising senior
from Winston-Salem. The proposal
was thoroughly discussed and then
adopted by the Student Affairs Council in
February. It was subsequently presented
by the Student Affairs Council in Febru
ary. It was subsequently presented to
the administration and endorsed for a
one-year trial.
According to reports given last week to
the Administrative Team and at the
faculty meeting by Jane Holcome', dean
for student development, there will be
extensive faculty-staff involvement in
the honor residence hall through a
faculty advisor and an advisory board.
Also, a member of the housing staff,
selected by the director of housing, will
serve as live-in director at the Town-
houses, she said. All college rules will
apply in the honor residence.
As explained in the original proposal,
an honor residence is a group living
situation in which mutual trust and re
sponsibility are basic premises. It pro
vides a living environment for students
who are willing to pledge themselves
(by signing a contract) to “academic
excellence, beneficial social interaction,
and personal development.”
As explained by Dean Holcombe, the
honor residence to be established at
Mars Hill will be “a community of honor,
in which responsibility and rationality
are highly valued; and it will be an in
tentional community, in that each per
son involved will be expected to con
tribute consciously to the quality of life
in the hall.” It will be composed of
volunteers who deliberately choose to
live there and to participate in the kind
of residence hall programming -which
has been planned.
Forms on which interested students
may apply for assignment to the honor
residence are now available in the Hous
ing Office on the third floor of Wren
College Union.
Incoming freshmen who have been
awarded Appalachian Scholarships
will have priority in assignment.' Cur
rent holders of Appalachian Scholarships
and other students who are interested
in the type of living environment the
honor hall will offer are encouraged to
apply.
Final selections will be made by a
committee composed of students, faculty
and administrators from the applications
submitted. Each person selected will
live in the hall for the full 1979-80 school
year and may apply for a second year if
the program is continued.
