Better rapport is aim of RA council
By TIM FOARDE
Battalion Reporter
Texas A&M resident advisers
have created an RA council to
serve as a forum for RA problems
and experiences, to improve com
munication with administrators
and to program social activities for
RAs.
The Department of Student
Affairs employs over 150 graduate
and undergraduate students to
work in University residence halls
as resident advisers. RAs are re
sponsible for administration, dis
cipline, counseling and social di
recting in the residence halls.
Lisa Campana, a senior
accounting and management stu
dent, chairs the RA Council. She
is an RA in Clements Hall.
Campana said the Council has
one voting representative from
each dorm, but encourages all RAs
to participate in council meetings
and activities. Council members
meet semi-weekly and all officers,
committee chairmen and project
heads serve on a voluntary basis.

Council is to promote good rela
tions between RAs,” Campana
said. “There will be an emphasis
on programs like RA retreats, RA
exchanges and guest lecturers.”
The Council will work to im
prove relations between residents
living in dorms on the north and
south sides of campus, Campana
said. RAs will be able to exchange
ideas, get to know each other and
discuss issues concerning their
jobs.
In addition to uniting the RA
staff, Campana said, the Council
will help the RAs communicate
with the Department of Student
Affairs.
“We want to open the channels
of communication on the staff
level and between RAs and the
administrators,” she said.
Ron Blatchley, director of stu
dent affairs, said the Council has
potential as a liasion between the
RAs and administrators.
“It certainly will be valuable as a
tool for input and feedback for the
department when there is some
thing of interest or concern to the
students in the halls or the RAs in
general,” Blatchley said.
“Basically I think it will provide
organized social functions for RAs
to get better acquainted with each
other,” he said.

Disaster services group
plans for local calamities'
by TOM SOLOMON
Battalion Reporter
If floods, fire or tornadoes come
to the local area, some residents
plan to be prepared.
The Disaster Services of Red
Cross will hold an organizational
meeting at 7:30 tonight in 501
Rudder Tower.
Brazos County badly needs an
organized disaster readiness prog
ram, said Marti Nix, chairman of
the board of directors of the Bra
zos County Red Cross.
“Our community has grown
tremendously in size,” she said.
“With the students in session nine
months out of the year it even
grows more.”
Civil Defense is involved with
evacuating and setting up minimal
shelter for people who are eva
cuating. But, Nix added: “We
have no strong, organized struc
ture that will function when a dis
aster happens in this community. ”
Nix cited the possibility of a rail
road derailment as one disaster
that Bryan-College Station should
be prepared to handle.
“What happens if we have a
derailment and a couple of che
mical cars break open, and we
have noxious gases?” she asked.
“Just think of what is going to hap
pen to the University area.
“If we have no effective way of
getting people off campus in a hur
ry and getting them some place
where they can stay in the mean
time, we re going to have a big
problem.”
Disaster Services of Red Cross
would provide the organization
will supply the necessary ita
such as food, shelter and clotlj™'
to disaster victims until then
get situated again.
Anyone interested in disasl
readiness is asked to come tot
meeting, Nix said.
“What happens if we
have a derailment and a
couple of chemical cars
break open, and we have
noxious gases? Just think
of what is going to hap
pen to the University
area. If we have no effec
tive way of getting people
off campus in a hurry and
getting them some place
where they can stay in
the meantime, we’re
going to have a big prob
lem. ”— Marti Nix, Bra
zos County Red Cross
chairman.

“We’re setting up this meet
to involve as many people as
can,” Nix said, “whetherthey
professional people such as I
men and policemen, who to
be involved in a disaster anra
or just the average college studa jr of tl
who realizes there’s a problemi ter, is
wants to help.”
People who have first aidsh , lc
like cardiopulmonary resusdi s
tion will be invaluable to i
group, she said.
Students also can be veryvi n *
able. The group needs voluntf
that can type and learn how
needed to coordinate relief should
other disasters occur. The group
out the forms that are nece Jia! eve
when a disaster occurs. Studn e UniVl
can help in the shelters duriofi l '® mi
disaster by passsing out saiil
wiches or keeping the children

“It’s just really importanll

“There’s no sense waiting
