RA application deadline
for 44 positions nears
By Ann Portal
Oft* tww»W
Meetings continue today for students inter
ested in being a Resident Assistant at one of the
University residence halls next year.
Despite stiff competition and demanding time
requirements, about 125 students applied for the
44 positions last year. About 50 applications have
been received this year, according to Lou Vijaya
kar, area director of the Bean complex and ap
plications coordinator. Deadline for submitting
applications is April 12.
During the academic year, an RA receives
free room and board, a single room, free tele
phone service and a stipend of $160 (about $17
per month). In exchange, the RA assumes re
sponsibility for a number of administrative and
social duties within the residence hall, ranging
from locking and unlocking outside doors and
conducting room inspections to helping to plan
recreational and educational activities with dorm
residents
“I think the people that are applying for the
position need to exercise really good time man
agement," Vijayakar says. "It is a real special
relationship between the RA and the student "
The RAs are considered staff members of the
University housing department, and answer to
student managers and area directors who work in
each residence hall. Student managers already
have been hired for next year.
In addition to daytime duties, each Ra is
expected to work “duty nights" three or four
times a week. On those evenings, the RA must be
somewhere within the residence hall, which
provides some students with the incentive to
spend extra time on homework. Vijayakar notes.
Several RAs noticed a "remarkable" im
provement in their grades last term, he says
The housing department also will hire four
Resident Assistant Interns for next year The
interns will receive a free single room and tele
phone, but will be billed for board charges (about
$1,300). The experimental positions will help in
the large residence hails and allow the student
intern to receive good training toward becoming
an RA, Vijayakar says.
Applications are available at the housing
office in Walton Complex Applicants must attend
one of the three remaining orientation meetings
being held at 7 p m each of the next three nights:
tonight in the Bean West Conference Room.
Tuesday in the University Inn Main Lounge and
Wednesday (for intern applicants only) in the
Bean West Conference Room

YOUR
FUTURE
yo
Become an Air Force
navigator. _
The demand for navigators has never been
greater. And as technology develops, so will
the role of the navigator. More technical skills
will be required. Elaborate navigation and
electronic systems are being developed.
The navigators who operate these systems
are carefully selected and trained. They must
be able to do battle at supersonic speeds and
outwit a potential adversary. They must be
able to pinpoint their location over a vast
ocean. They are part of a team rich in tradi
tion and standing on the threshold of an ex
citing future.
This is your opportunity to be a part of that
future. Talk to an Air Force recruiter. Find
out more about your opportunities as an Air
Force navigator. The experience can change
your life. CALL ROGER or JIM
