Search is on for seven more female RAs for fall semester
By Christine Reinolds Kansan staff writer
The student housing department needs seven more female RAs for Fall 1990.
"I don't know where the women leaders are," said Jean Morrow, student housing assistant director for staffing. There are 55 resident assistant jobs for women and 43 for men.
Morrow said they had no problem meeting the number of RAs needed last year.
Shelley Koch, McCollum Hall RA, said she was surprised that more women were needed.
"Since the job is more interacting and counseling, I thought that women would be interested," Koch said.
Morrow said that of 145 applicants for residence hall jobs, 72 were cut. Of the 73 accepted, 59 will be RAs. The others accepted will be assistant residence hall jobs in a academic program coordinators.
The department will use 53 of the new RAs and 38 returning RAs. Six male RAs who were accepted were used, and four others would be used if jobs become available.

Morrow said that becoming an
RA required a minimum grade point average of 2.5, completion of at least 30 hours and some group living experience. Applicants apply in December and then interview and attend a problem-solving session.
"We look for communication skills, leadership experience, confrontation and helping skills." Morrow said.
Applicants who are rejected can apply again if they think they can fare better the second time. Morrow said some people who reapplied were hired.
