"I think that's definitely beneficial be cause in the past there were some direct hires that really shouldn't have been there, "she said. Kieffer said she is also glad current staff members help in the interviewing process because they are aware of the qualities necessary for the job. When she applied, the hiring process — especially the group interview — was a challenge because there were so many applicants, Kieffer said. "You're in this room full of leaders and you have to try to stand out some how," she said. But she added that it is a good oppor tunity to get experience applying for jobs in general. Sedgwick agreed the process is a good opportunity for students who may not have applied for many jobs. "Even just the chance to participate in the group interview is a growth oppor tunity," he said. Sedgwick said one of the most diffi cult parts of the job is enforcing policies among fellow students. Junior Will Seiler, an RA in McAlister Hall, said residents do break the rules at times. He said his most interesting expe rience so far was when staff members found a sofa on fire in a trash bin out side his hall. "That just kind of made for a crazy night "he said. But overall, Seiler said he has enjoyed his job. "My favorite part about it is getting to meet all sorts of people," he said. "It's also been rewarding to know that I've helped people."

Barnhart Hall, said she ap preciates the residence-hall staff mem bers and their attempts to make resi dence life enjoyable "RAs do try to help build the com munity, "she said.

"They taste similar, but I've heard more bad publicity about Coke," said senior Taylor Casey, a Pepsi lover. Casey said she first started avoiding Coke when she received an e-mail that used corrosive images to discourage Coke consumption. For example, the e-mail stated that Coke can be used to clean rust off a car bumper and dissolve a T-bone steak in two days. "After that e-mail, I never drank Coke again," Casey said. Random e-mails are not the only bat tle tactic in the cola wars, however. Rick Bronson, a Coca-Cola Bottling Co. driver of 12 years, was fired from the company after purchasing a Pepsi Premier Travel 1011 Harlow ] 747-0909 |Student Travel Experts during his shift, according to http://www.cnn.com. Someone ap parently spotted the uniformed Bron son drinking Pepsi and notified the company. Despite such instances, Costello said he considers both companies to be hon est and fair in their business practices. Coke is still dwarfed by the selection of Pepsi colas and products on campus, however, taking up less than two of sev en refrigerator cases in Erb Essentials. Pep si also owns Frito-Lay snacks, beverages such as Aquafina, Gatorade sports drinks, Tropicana juices and Quaker Foods. However, Costello said people should expect Coke, and other compa nies, to make a comeback eventually. Contact the business/science/ technology reporter at caronalarab@dailyemerald.com.
