Mi - , Tom Quick hall and a counselor to the students. Managing the hall consist- ed of much unseen work. Papers continually flooded the resident counselors' desks, employees worked them day and night, and committee meetings created new pro- grams to be implemented. Serving as a counselor for more than 200 people was a full-time job. Some days lasted until 3 a.m. Surprises such as flooding toilets at midnight, severe illnesses at 4 a.m., or even popcorn parties during the late movie provided a break in the routine of locking the doors at curfew, checking rooms for missing persons, and reminding residents that quiet hours were in effect. The seven counselors had one purpose that they each strived for in their unique style. Helping students, in every aspect, was the common goal. Wayne Newcomb, RC 0f Krause Hall wanted the male RC-more than just a cola Double duty service as a resident counselor residents of the hall to learn to do more for themselves. Everything from doing their laundry to reading the various newsletters was part of the developing process. To help make the job a bit easier, each resident counselor had five to seven resident assistants. The assistants were responsible for being on duty some of the evenings, serving in the same capacity as the RC. Being a RC was a reward- ing experience when residents showed progress in their personal and social develop- ment. Barry Bowen, RC for Lewis Hall, knew fulfillment and success as he would see someone come as a new student and watch them develop. The excitement, the headaches, the joys, and the Ietdowns of taking care of more than 200 young people i was better than the fizz in any cola. 6' A 4 Tom Quick 226 Resident Counselors
