Junior Wendy Kieffer, an RA in the
Bean Complex, said she thinks waiting
to make hiring decisions until appli
cants complete part of the training
course will help ensure the right people
get the job.
"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."
Freshman Cynthia Karpowicz, who
lives in H.P. 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.

COKE
continued from page 1
attention it has received.
"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

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.
