'Cliffe Picks Young Faculty Couple As Head Residents of Moors Hall

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Jan L. Perkowski '59 and his future wife Doris L. Kell will take over as Head Residents of Moors Hall next September, becoming the fourth young Faculty couple selected to head a Radcliffe dormitory in the last four years.

Perkowski and Miss Kell, to be married this spring, will replace Mr. and Mrs. David M. Bevington, Head Residents of Moors for the past two years. Bevington, currently instructor in English, will leave Harvard next Fall to become assistant professor of English at the University of Virginia.

"We're happy with the way young couples have worked out as dormitory Head Residents," Francis R. Brown, Dean of Residence and Student Affairs, commented yesterday as she announced the appointment of Perkowski and Miss Kell. "We want to continue this very successful experiment wherever possible."

She noted, however, that it is "out of the question" to increase the number of Head Resident couples at present. There are "physical limitations" in all the dorms but Comsteck, Barnard, and Moors, Dean Brown explained.

Perkowski, who received his A.B. in Linguistics and Slavic, is now a teaching fellow in Slavic. Miss Kell, a former geology major with a 1959 A.B. from Wellesley, has studied at Juilliard School of Music.
