Dorm Councils Hall Council Creates a Homey Atmosphere for Residents Under the leadership of Kris Boucher and Sheri Williamson, the 1988-89 Simmons Hall dorm coun- cil made life a little more fun for the residents of the women ' s dorm. Some activities that the dorm council organized were the Halloween wing competitions, a Christ- mas open-dorm, and some Easter festivities. Jean- nette Clark stated, The wing competition was fun to prepare for and fun to take part in, A sense of unity and comradery was felt by the participants from each wang as they got ready for the com- petition. By planning activities aimed at uniting the stu- dents, the Simmons Hall Dorm Council succeeded in making the dorm a little more like home. Lisa Rogers summarized, This year ' s council really did a good job on the events and getting both halls together for them. DORM COUNCIL 113

RA ' s Offer Unique Support and Encouagement to Each Other and Students Where could you find fifteen students who were able to act as mothers, give good counsel, and could provide a teirific sup- port group? If you answered on the Res- ident Assistant staff, you ' re absolutely right. The RA staff, under the direction of Wil- ie Hamlett and Mary Pomroy, effected some good results this year. Carola Lynch, R.A. on 2C Simmons shared, Everyone on staff was really supportive of each other. We realized, by working with other groups on campus, that we ' re not above any of them. Mary Pomroy, Women ' s Housing Director, expressed, ' The whole staff really bonded well. There weren ' t any person- ality conflicts withi n the group. ■The experience of an R.A. are the most interesting things. 1 played ' Dear Abby, ' for my wing all the time! ' declared Tracee Bennett. I didn ' t mind though. I just had to learn how to organize my time, and how to drop everything to go talk with one of my girls. Dan Kohn confided to us, Being an R.A. is a rewarding experience. It ' s chal- lenging, fun . . . There ' s never a dull mo- ment! But sometimes, it got crazy for these student leaders. R.A. class time was used to voice needs and cries for help. We ' d have prayer time during class, which would re- ally help me when I was weary and over- whelmed, remarked Carola Lynch. Sometimes we ' d sit together at lunch and just talk about our problems, responded Liz Loper. Through all the good times and the bad, this year ' s s taff remained united. Encour- agernent came and went freely. Willie Hamlett finalized things by saying, The resident assistants held up under all the pressure and made me extremely proud to be involved with them. R.A.
