Ohhhh geez!! yes yes Krug Hall is where I used to reside. I hated that dorm. I would say.. we had 20 (guessing) fire alarms in 1 semester. but I had a GREAT time though..
Now the names have changed.. and things have changed.. I have no clue what's there on the campus anymore.  |
Yes, Gallaudet changed the dormitory names to Ballard North and Ballard West.
I haven't been to Gallaudet for a while. Some of my friends works at Gallaudet keeps me up to date about what goes on w/ the campus, so and on.
Like Shel said, Gallaudet changed it's name shortly after the murders. From what I know - according to my friends - they said that Gallaudet felt that it would be in the best interest of the University to change it's name and to start anew.
In my opinion, The university should not have changed it's name because it was named after 2 historical figures in the deaf community. On the other hand I do understand that Gallaudet wanted to do the best and to help the students/parents/staff/faculty and alumni to cope with the murder, rather than be reminded of what happened.
