Setup Changes at Oliver
A unique concept of student-staff relationships is forming at Oliver Hall, according to Mrs. Sandy Hewitt, resident director. Together with the challenge of forming a new hall government, she has experienced a broader contact with the hall's staff members.
"A special feature of the dorm," Mrs. Hewitt said, "is that it is primarily freshmen. We told them that since the hall was to be their home for a while, they could create a government for it."
Hewitt. Mrs. believes the challenge will bring more students who would be generally in a role in running a residence hall
"There has been some student response," Mrs. Hewitt said, smiling. "The teacher has hoped. A group of students has met already to teach out ideas and work on writing."
The primary purpose of this group was to prepare a suitable
Geodesic City To Be Erected At Lake Perry
Instant City, city of geodesic designs, will be built at Lake Perry Saturday by architecture 30 students.
Ninety-five students will attempt to build shelters at the lake that will withstand the elements of rain and snow. They are necessary for a weekend camper.
The students are limited to a $5 to $10 budget in building their shelves. Fount Smiths, design department, said "The main purpose for this venture is to get the students their resources and do more with less. The purpose for Instant is to show the student to test his design
hall constitution for resident approval and to set a time for the election of officers.
The staff role is unique, Mrs. Hewitt believes, in that the resident assistants (R.A.'s) will know the people and their relationships with residents.
The R.A.'s will initiate programs in the Oliver government in the Bay Area to assist residents. The R.A.'s role has been broadened to take on a more active role in the residence hall. An R.A., for instance, could organize an organization of organizational matters or in making plans for a specific event.
Mrs. Hewitt believes this will help facilitate communication between the residents and the staff.
"Our idea of R.A. roles in actively participating is good. The R.A.'s will still do counseling, with but their new status, their function will be more valuable than before. But this is in the working stage and most of the roles are not defined yet."
The student reaction to the new government concept is generally favorable. But even in the new administration, it continues constitution and the broadening of the R.A.'s role in participating in more hall affairs, apathy still can be a dominating factor in changing the new government concept.
Residents feel a big problem in student participation is the lack of information from formation committees. Consequently, only a handful of Oliver's residents have been placed in forming the new government.
"If a student misses a meeting, said Ted Gordon, Lake City. Can you feel left out of things. It comes to two points. Every student could participate if he wanted to but people just don't know about the school."
Jay Tedford, Minneola law student and an R.A. at Oliver
doesn't think apathy has hurt the organization of the government. He believes a concentrated effort is more important and worthwhile, more important and worthwhile.
"We tried to aim at something different this year," Tedford said.
"During the formation meetings the kids would ask us What do we do? and we would tell them flatly 'What do you do' with their chance to experiment and create what they felt was needed."
Tedford said forming the new government would be a valuable educational process which would benefit residents tremendously.
"It was a hard thing to do," he said. "But it think it proved worthwhile to learn how to come together without knowing each other before and iron out differences."
"People have probably been waiting around to see what we were going to do, so after the hall meeting we have there much greater participation."
