The Michigan Daily - Thursday, February 21, 1985 - Page 3 DORM RAISES 'FARM CROP' S.udents train for RA iobs By ANTHY PAPISTA e In baseball, young aspiring players are sent to the minor league's farm teams to gain practice and experience in the dame. At Alice Lloyd Dormitory, aspiring resident advisors are also sent to the minor leagues. No, they don't want to be ball players. Instead, these sophomores who are interested in becoming resident ad- Visors prepare as student advisors. WHAT IS THE difference between an SA and an RA? Not much in terms of work and responsibility, according to Alice Loyd's student advisor office. Only 18 Pilot Program sophomores are eligible to become student advisors. They undergo a complete training process pefore fall classes begin and are responsible for 30 or 40 residents each. They handle a variety of dorm dilemmas such as noise problems, roommate difficulties, and academic and social problems. Unlike RAs, these students don't. receive free oom and board. ACCORDING TO DAVID GIVENS, an Alice Lloyd SA, the job's voluntary status "keeps (it) pure" from people seeking he position for monetary reasons. SA privileges are limited to first room pick on the hall. They also get free Pilot Program T-shirts and caps. THESE STUDENTS recently received recognition from. the University's housing department. This means that SAs can apply early for RA positions in other dorms without having to compete with the regular applicant pool. SAs are a "farm crop" for potential RA jobs, said Kim McIntyre, an SA McIntyre and half of the currenSAs are seeking RAjobs. JAMES MARSH, an SA who is applying for an RA position, 41 J said that he has "enjoyed the position of working with residents." However, he added that next year, his job will be even more attractive because he'll get paid "for doing the same thing." "I am a people-oriented person and feel that being an SA has been very rewarding," McIntyre said. "Just directing people to the best pizza place in Ann Arbor is appreciated by residents." She added that SAs and RAs make dorm life less lonely for residents. However, being an SA isn't always fun. "SOME PEOPLE think we do nothing," said Cindy Palmer, an SA. And according to SA Brian Binder, it is especially difficult for sophomores to "manage being a peer, counselor, and ad- visor all at once." Theoretically, student advisors are on duty at all times, but unlike resident directors, resdient advisors, and resident fellows, they are not obligated to hold specific dorm hours. ACCORDING TO CLARE CORRY, an SA's duties are "to help freshmen get settled in and facilitate, the transition to college, to coordinate hall activities," and to behave as role models for residents. Most SAs share their hall responsibilities with RAs and resident fellows. "The Pilot Program necessitates responsible sophomores to serve as go-betweens for students and faculty," said Bill Knox, an Alice Lloyd resident director. "(SAs) don't always earn recognition for their work," said John Scanlan, a resident fellow. He said the most successful SA is one who can "combine his or her interest in the Pilot Program with social and intellectual concerns."

"It was their decision. I can't make their decision for them," Shapiro said of the jury which found the three women guilty of trespassing. "THIS ISN'T the time to discuss this," Shapiro added. But he said he would speak with them about military research sometime in the future, and promised to contact Kock, who had ben trying to reach him. When asked how many more students would have to go to jail before he would reconsider the University's policy on military research, Shapiro said he "preferred not to think of it in those terms." "One has to learn that one's own views are not always going to be agreed upon by the rest of the population, but that doesn't mean that they're not listening," he added.

Shapirowas not in his office when the group came. 'Marx told Susan Lip- schutz, an assistant to Shapiro, that PSN had tried for over a month before their trial in January to speak with the president about their, complaints, but "he said he was always too busy.", Shapiro suggested the group make an appointment with him after spring break, Marx said but "unfortunately, that's too late for two of us n y PSN members who attended yester- day's sentencing said Aronoff asked Judge Elden if she could sing her final statement. The judge refused, but said she could read the words to a song she composed. Daily reporter Sean Jackson filed a report for this story. "KEEP FIGHTING for what you believe in," he told thecrowd. They yelled back, "We will." The supporters then walked through the Law Library and the Un- dergraduate Library singing peace songs, making a stop between the two buildings to- learn how Kock and Aronoff were doing their first night in jail. Jonathan Ellis of Canterbury House, a local peace activist, said he had just spoken to the women on the phone. "They said that they feel strong and happy that they made the decision to go to jail," he said. EARLIER IN THE DAY, 10 protesters went to Shapiro's office in the Fleming Administration Building to show their support for the three women.

Quad bomb threat By STEVE HERZ and THOMAS HRACH Some West Quad residents said last night they were upset at not having been told of a bomb threat in the dorm early yesterday morning. At approximately 2:30 a.m., an unknown male phoned a West Quad resident advisor and said the building would be blown up in 20 minutes. ACCORDING TO JOEL ALLEN, supervisor of housing security, stan- dard procedure for any bomb threat in a residence hall dictates that all residents must be notified of the threat. The decision to evacuate is left up to the individual. West Quad staff members began to notify the residents of the threat but several stopped when police and security officers checked the building and found no bomb. According to Allan all residents should have been notified immediately that there had been a threat. "I did advise all of my residents to leave the building," said Marc Wer- nick, an Adams House RA. But other RAs said they had not notified all of the residents on their halls when the 20-minutes had passed and security officials had concluded the threat. was a hoax. For these two reasons they said they decided against spurs mixe waking the rest of their residents. Building Director Alan Levy said he was not informed of the threat until he came into work yesterday morning. He added that he should have been called. Many West Quad residents were irritated by the lack of warning in some halls. Heidi Harpowiski, an LSA sophomore, said she definitely would have evacuated the building if she had been notified. "I'm pissed off," said Robin Gold- stein, an LSA freshwoman. "I would've slept anywhere but here." "I THINK the entire quad should have been evacuated," added Jim Doyle, an LSA freshman. d reaction "If the staff did their job properly, they would have notified all the residen- ts," said Allan. "But all I've heard from West Quad is that the staff did a good job." In response to a rash of bomb threats at Stockwell dormitory two years ago, housing officials decided not to evacuate dorms when threats are received. At the time they said the new policy would reduce bomb threats because the person making the threat would'see no visibile effects. Instead dorm employees are sup- posed to alert each resident to the situation and leave the decision up to the individual. Students 'play' world leaders in mock arms talks (Continued from Page 1) forward to the March session. SPECIALIZING ON international relations and strategic studies, Dina Zarren is well-prepared to take on her role as Secretary of State. "I have been reading literature on arms control, past arms control, and articles which Shultz has written in or- der to establish a pattern which I can carry over into the simulation game," she said. Facing Zarren across the negotiating table will be Sunil Malhotra, a fresh- man aerospace engineering student, who will play Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko. PLAYING GROMYKO may pose a few problems, Malhotra admits, because his views to not coincide with those of the Soviet official. "I'm not a passivist, but I try to take the non-violent approach," he said. "Gromyko,, on the other hand, is a har- POLICE NOTES Wallets, watch taken A wallet containing $5 in cash was taken from the men's locker room at the Central Campus Recreation Building Tuesday, and two wallets and a watch worth a total of $165 were reported stolen from the CCRB's main gym that evening, according to Leo dliner who is probably the antithesis of what I believe." A key issue the group plans to debate is space weaponry and the Reagan ad- ministration's controversial Star Wars defense system. Chapter president Shelly Loomus, a senior political science major, said Pugwash plans to publish the game results. "At the end of the simulation game, we hope that each student will know their character well enough that we'll be able to get some sort of idea what will be needed to get some sort of suc- cess in the real negotiations," Loomus said.
