Student Housing Resident assistants provide more than floor supervision The Residence Halt Association (RHA)t formerly the Inter-Dormitory Council, is a group of elected students who promote dormitory programming. This year, RHA sponsored the film “Grease” and organized get-acquainted sessions afterwards in the dorms during the first week of school. The organization also sponsored a book exchange, an escort system for nighttime security on campus, the Dorm-of-the-Semester Award with a traveling trophy and the Activity of the Month. Each dorm was given $150 to program an inter- dormitory event one month, such as a street disco sponsored by the Centennial Towers East and West, a square dance sponsored by Martin Hall, a Halloween disco by Mantor Hall and a chili feed with door prizes sponsored by Men’s Hail. Together with the ARA Committee, RHA sponsored other events including a pumpkin carving contest, a fruit basket raffle and a Las Vegas Night. -by Sarah Donohoe Because the Kappa Sigma Pi sorority has no house, this greek member studies in her dormitory room (Photo by Deb Goodwin).

I M resident assistant is one of the most important students living in the dorms when looking for a source of information and or conversation. Each year, new resident assistants are chosen by applying for the job, and then are interviewed by the housing staff. There are 38 R.A. positions to fill each year as well as 15 student assistant jobs. Students are selected by means of their grade point average and activities but most of all their personalities and their ability to handle any given situation. It is the R.A.’s duty to watch over the dorm and its residents. Most of the problems R.A.’s must deal with are removing members of the opposite sex after visiting hours, preventing alcohol from entering the dorm and trying to keep a somewhat sane atmosphere in their dorm. In payment for all their effort, the R.A.’s receive a waiver for their room and board at fee payment. --by Denise Harrington R. A. Jayne Walmstey shows her job can be fun (Photo by Jane Bell).
