16 frhisue Wo rk, work, wo rk: the challenge for R.A.s Throwing trouble-makers out of fifth story windows, vetoing administrative edicts, leading freshmen into spiritual maturity, and earning seven dollars an hour are some of the things which Resident Assistants would like to be doing, but aren't. Instead R.A.s find themselves wrapped up in duties far less quixotic and, hopefully, more utilitarian. One of the R.A.'s major res- ponsibilities is to person', the Scots' Desk, which each does for an average of five hours per week. While at the desk the R.A. answers telephones, enter- tains students, keeps peace and fa little bit ofl cleanliness in the lobby, and keeps amazingly alert for the possible emergencies, such as broken arms and toilets. The R.A. on duty is also provided with keys which make available to him or her all stu- dent rooms, the Great Hall, the front office and an elevator. If a student is agog about anything, he or she should check with the R.A. on duty. That R.A. will love the attention. Up in the barracks, the R.A. faces a slightly different prob- lem: the preservation of tran- quility, which can, occassionally, seem a futile task. In addition, the R.A. tries to be available to fellow students for whatever problem they might have, be it psychological or merely mech- anical. An R.A. is also called upon to be a type of spiritual director as he or she strives to organize worshipful chapels for his or her respective section once every other week. Though the R.A.s can't meet every need, they have been known to pull strings, and they do make it their business to Hknow the angles of Covenant College. R.A.s have to appease their bosses, too. When not struggling with the tyrannical demands of Resident Directors Mary jane F ree- man and Duane Cory, they are running errands for Assistant Dean Carl Henning and Dean jim Thorne. Then, once a week, the entire group meets to try to straighten out the seemingly mangled Covenant living situa- t1on. These are the present Resident Assistants: Kathy Armes, ajuni- or from Kenya, East Africa, Michelle Heerdt, senior from Glenside, Pennsylvania, Gary Helrigel, a senior from Albion, Michigan, Jon Labman, junior from Yardley, Pennsylvaniagjoe Moore, senior from Beaufort, North Carolina, John Parrish, junior from Wilton Manors, Flo- rida, Guy Porcella, a senior from Iowa City, Iowa, Liz Reed, senior from Miama, Florida, Linda Shafer, sophomore from Lexington, Virginia, Pat Strat- ford, a senior from Burling- ton, North Carolina, Nancy Tufts, a senior from Pineville, Louisiana, and Phil Vierling, a junior from Newark, Delaware. How should a person react to the official person known as an R.A.? Don't be intimidated. Deep down, beneath their raised eyebrows, stern chins, and threatening stances, dwell bro- ken hearts, anxious to serve. R63-HY -Guy Porcella f
