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.

New to Lifeline this year, these energetic students fit right into the group. Randy Stacks goes over homework with his en- thusiastic Lifeline group. Lifeline leaders doing what they do best: having Program Offers Growth, Gives Life to Campus. LifeLine leaders played a signif- icant role in assisting the new Cal Baptist students with their transi- tion to our college community. During orientation week, each leader and their group participated in various events, which included the Mt. Rubidoux walk and Wor- ship, an Angels vs. Red Sox game and the New Student Retreat at Victory Ranch (more commonly know as fly paradise ). During the semester, the groups met for class and seminars. Outside the regular class schedule, groups could be seen playing sardines and Scruples. Other actives includ- ed pizza parties, rock climbing, and dinner with their advisors. The 1988 program has gone through several changes including adding the use of a book to the class. The book was added to give more structure and direction to the class said Anthony Lammons the director of Lifeline. Lifeline has proven to provide a rewarding ex- perience for both new students and the leaders. Debby Browing com- mented, My experience this se- mester passed all my expectations! I felt really blessed to have such a good group. They truly grew to- gether emotionally and spirtually. Robert Hendricks shared about his group, As a leader it was ex- citing to watch the new students come from different family back- grounds, cultures and locations. They all pulled together adjusting to tiieir new community family. Lifeline this year was a reward- ing experience for all. It was a time of learning to be on your own, de- veloping your own identity and making life long friends. LIFELINE 117
