Marlatt Hall is the only all-male dorm at Kansas State University. It is located on the West side of Kansas State's Manhattan, Kansas campus in the Kramer Complex parallel to Goodnow Hall.It is known for its large concentration of Engineering and Architectural students.[1] After the end of the Spring semester, all students move out and some return to live there another year, while others move on to live off-campus or at a fraternity.

History

It was named after Washington Marlatt, an early settler, minister and administrator of Bluemont Central College (later replaced by K-State).[2]

For many years Marlatt has been teamed up with West Hall for most campus events including homecomming events. This pairing won the overall homecomming award in 2003 and 2004 until it became apparent that West no longer wanted to be paired with Marlatt by placing the question "Do you want to be stuck with Marlatt Hall again next year?" on a 2004 questionare. Therefore in 2005 it was decided to switch to Moore Hall, which Marlatt has a better relationship with. In 2005 the overall homecomming award was won by the "Moore-Marlatt team."

Marlatt is known for being the most run-down of the dorms on K-State's campus, most directly due from scheduled renovations in the late 90's and early 00's being cancelled. Usually, this is explained by the administration as being due to other residents hall's renovations. However, now all other halls are renovated and construction has started on Jardine Terrace Apartments, still without any modifications to Marlatt Hall's lobby.[3] Many residents feel that this is actually due to lack of concern for the all-male residents' hall by KSU officials.

Marlatt Hall HGB and KSU ARH relations

While the KSU Association of Residence Halls strongly encourages the "student living quarters" to be referred to as residence halls in meetings(and in general), the Marlatt Hall residents and many members of the HGB refer to Marlatt as a dorm. This is due in part to many Marlatt Hall residents feeling they are treated unfairly in respect to the ARH and the other HGBs; therefore why should they need to follow "useless" guidelines.

Marlatt ARH representatives have been seen as principal antagonists of the ARH board over the last few decades, especially from around 1997 to 2003 and under the hall's presidency of Jim Stoutenborough.
