For those of you who have one of these people for a head resident or R.A., and haven't seen them for the past week, there is a reason: they are interviewing candidates for resident advisors. The week before Spring Break, anyone interested in becoming an R.A. filled out an application which was reviewed by the Residential Life Staff and the newly appointed Head Residents. After Spring Break, the applicants signed up for interviews with the Head Residents in the halls they were eligible for and wanted to be an R.A. in. This past Saturday, April 3, a workshop was held to let ihe Head Residents observe the candidates in situations similar to those faced by an R.A. The applicants were split into groups, facilitated by current R.A.s, so individuals were easily identified. There are 85 applicants who are all trying to fill one of the 20- 30 openings in Residential Life. Resident Advisors are people who are there to help out students with personal and academic problems, they a'so provide ptog- rams within and between the hails to promote unity and personal growth among their residents. They arc also the people who must enforce the rules of Stetson, as well as keeping up the physical and emotional well being in their hall. The basic requirements for a Resident Advisor position include maintaining a 2.2 GPA, being of the sophomore level or above, having lived in the residence halls for a minimum of one semester. The position is a paid one, and is for a term of one year in which the student can have no other major position on carnpus. The applicants are chosen by the Head Residents, who wiSi be doing their interviews this week. The final staff will be announced on Tuesday, April 14. We will be doing more in- depth intervies with (he head residents, but due to the inter- viewing process they are unavailable.
