Wednesday, February22 1984AThe Battalion/Page 5 <s ?As, head residents ''Have good benefits \ LESLIE MARTIN Reporter Biren Specht has an impor- fttlob. She listens with an at- Intiveear, attends mixers, con- the noise level of her jghDors, locks doors and Hliiles fire drills. And that’s ilybart of it. jSpi'dit is a resident adviser. Spc cht, and the other resi- jntadvisers here, have a num- :r S)f other duties which in- ude checking dorm residents Hd out, scheduling floor Mings and enforcing dorm ^(ations regarding cooking isitation privileges. She must also be on duty one hi a week and two weekend Jits each month. During that ■ Specht must be in her join and available to handle problems that may arise. In ■al, she and the other RAs - e responsible for whatever $ lesion in their, and all other sideiice halls. But along with the work iIms many benefits. Packer Fieri, an RA in Ho- 1 Hall, says,“When I am on K 1 have to enforce quiet and this gives me a me to study.” Working with people and gaining work expe rience are also advantages of his job, he says. Another bonus is the pay. RAs work between 10 and 25 hours a week and receive a sal ary of about $ 1,000 a semester. Any student who has lived in a dorm for at least one semester can apply, if the student has an overall grade-point ratio of at least 2.25, is a sophomore or higher, and has leadership qual ities. “We’re looking for students who are honest and open and have good communication skills,” says Nyla Ptomey, hous ing programs supervisor. Applications may be obtained at any of the area housing of fices at the beginning of each semester. Interviews are held before mid-semester. Head resident advisers also serve dorm residents but in a different capacity. Head resi dents oversee the RAs in the dorm and meet with them once a week. They are advisers to the dorm council and the Judicial Boards. A big part of their job is submitting paperwork such as dorm occupancy reports, plans for upcoming activities, and maintenance orders to the area office. The position was originally intended for graduate students but this year six undergrad uates are among the 28 head residents. Applicants must meet the same requirements as resi dent advisers and accept re sponsibility for all dorm activ ities. Denise Heitcamp, one of six undergraduate HRs, says one of her duties is dealing with sticky problems that no one else wants to tackle. “One night I had to single- handedly stop 20 men from having an underwear run through our halls,” she said. Joe Woulfe, head resident for Schuhmacher Hall, is a graduate student from Buffalo, New York. Like other HRs, his room rent is paid, his out-of- state tuition is waived, and he makes about $2,000 a semester. Flyers and applications for head resident positions are sent to schools all over the nation to encourage graduate students from other states to attend Texas A&M.
