1 he administration original!) plana
ed to stop housing residents in
Mckinzie Hall beginning at the end of
the 1981 fall semester
Hecause the residents expressed
their desire to staj and there was no
place for those girls to m ne the dorm
will remain open to residents in
delinnclv said McCaleb
The residents expression of their
desire to sta) was net a protest at mist
the adminstration said McCaleb but
more of a plei not to shut dnvn their
home
I hex said we d rather sta) in this
dorm with these people than live in the
newest nieest dorm if that meant hav
int to split up said McCaleb 1 his
is lundamenta! to Chnstianitv
patience and forgiveness at work can
make a difference
Durham said the motto for a Chris

10 16 where Jesus said Christians
should be as shrewd as snakes but in
nocent as doves He said Christian
businessmen need to know their
business w ithout allow ing it to corrupt
their hearts
Durham spoke about four elements
needed to establish God honormt
credibilit) on the ob proper attitude
towards authorit) willmtness to show
initiative consistent unfaihnt intcgri
l) and a commitment to exeellcnce
A Christian businessman must
research a topic well so that he can
find impracticahties in an unethical
proposal He must then artue against
it not because it is unethical but
because it is not practical Durham
said
