No, 4-H was this gorgeous old rock house--looked kind of like the ADPi House--right behind the DG House, I believe. Until about the 80s, girls who lived there would serve as the staff there and pay off their tuition that way. It really helped a lot of women and there was huge competition to get in. Most of them were Home Ec majors.

Several years ago, the U said they were going to tear it down and there was a huge outcry. They backed off and then one summer day when almost everyone was gone, they came out with bulldozers and ripped it down as quickly as possible. They lost a *lot* of College of Agriculture alum support over that one.

Carnall, of course, is the old dorm over by Old Main that's now some kind of campus B&B. It was a dorm until maybe the sixties and my grandmother was the housemother for years before she got married!

An expensive B&B too. (at least by Arkansas standards)

And rumors are flying that the person who did this created a bomb and then shot the bomb with a shotgun. I'm not sure how terribly plausible that is, but that's the current rumor.
