Week's eveote to. raise alcohol awareoess
By CHRIS HELMS
Staff Writer
A slate of activities marking this
year's National Collegiate Alcohol
Awareness Week will end Thursday
with a drive to make UNC dry for a day.
Sponsors of this Thursday's "Zero
Proof Day" hope to get 15,000 people
to pledge abstinence from alcohol for
the entire day, according to Chris In
man, member of the D.E.L.T. A. Squad
(Drug Education Leads To Alterna
tives). As of Sunday, Inman estimated that
3,100 students, faculty and staff had
signed the pledge. The D.E.L.T.A.
Squad will be in the Pit from 1 1 a.m to
Applicationsavailable for resident' 'assistant posts
By CATHY APGAR
Staff Writer
Resident assistant applications for
the selection of RAs for January 1990
are available from area directors in
residence halls and at Carr Building.
Applications formid-year positions,
which became available last Wednes
day, are due by Nov. 3, 1989. Applica
tions for fall 1990 RA positions are
available now also but are not due until
Dec. 19, 1990.
Selection of mid-year RA's will be
announced Nov. 20, and selection for
fall 1990 RA's will be announced Feb.
19.
Both the mid-year and fall position
application processes involve filling
out an application and interviewing,
but the mid-year process is more infor
mal than the fall process, said Lydia
Newman, assistant director of Univer
sity housing.
Applications for mid-year positions
are given to area directors, who choose
which applicants will be interviewed,
Newman said, About 20 to 30 applica
tions usually are turned in, and about 1 0
to 15 positions are usually open.
New RAs will replace graduating
seniors and those who are not perform
ing satisfactorily or no longer wish to
be RAs, Newman said.
In the fall, about 250 applications are
turned in and about 100 positions are
filled. There are a total of 200 RA
positions at UNC, and the turnover rate
is about one-half each year, she said.
In the fall hiring process, applicants
must attend an RA orientation pro
gram, where they learn about the RA
position and the selection process and
University begins preparations
for spring 1 990 preregistration
By JENNIFER PILLA
Staff Writer
Advisers and deans have begun
preparations for spring preregistration
with the passing of the Oct. 1 1 deadline
for students to drop fall courses or
declare them passfail.
Appointment books for sophomores
were made available Oct. 9 in the
General College office in Steele Build
ing. Sophomores can make appoint
ments with their advisers and turn in
preregistration forms from Oct. 16
through Nov. 3.
Freshmen will be able to make ap
pointments to preregister starting Nov.
1 for Nov. 6 through Nov. 21. Students
not in the General College can check
with their respective departments for
preregistration information and turn in
preregistration forms Oct. 30 through
Nov. 3.
Spring course directories were de
livered Friday and can be picked up in
the basement of Hanes Hall.
Jim Kessler, a College of Arts and
Sciences adviser, suggested that jun
iors and seniors visit their departmental
offices and make appointments to talk
with their advisers.
2 p.m. today through Wednesday tak
ing pledges, said Inman. He also said
pledge cards would be available at other
Alcohol Awareness Week events.
Other activities began last Friday
with a alcohol-free happy hour at Play
ers bar and dance club and will con
tinue with an information table in the
Pit today, a discussion with former UNC
football standout Steve Streater tonight
and "Mocktail Madness" in the Union
Cabaret Wednesday.
Julianna Cruz, assistant area direc
tor for Cobb-Henderson-Joyner, said
the alcohol-free happy hour at Players
was a success since about 100 people
turned out for the second annual event.
sign up for panel interviews. The first
interview in January is an individual
meeting with a present RA.
The next interview is with a panel of
staff in each of the areas during late
January and early February. Some
candidates may have a follow-up panel
interview if more information about an
applicant is desired.
The housing department requires
several qualifications for RAs, as the
application booklet outlines:
Upperclass standing is required
because of the added knowledge and
experience acquired in the University
setting. Second-semester sophomores
are considered for mid-year selection.
A 2.3 grade point average is man
datory because the demands of the job
require a solid academic foundation.
G.P.A. appeals can be made for the fall
selection process, but not for the mid
year process.
Residence hall living experience is
required so that students will have an
awareness of the environment in which
they will be working. Living in a resi
dence hall at the time of application is
not required.
Sensitivity, flexibility, and the
ability to embrace diversity is required
so that an RA will be equipped to work
with the entire University community.
Leadership potential is vital, since
RAs serve as models for residents.
Willingness to accept responsibil
ity for the position as an RA, as well as
personal commitment to self-development,
is desired.
Newman advises students who want
to become RAs to be themselves and to
be honest about who they are, what
"Students need to come in and see
us to make sure they're on track,"
Kessler said.
General College adviser Joy Justus
said students should be prepared before
they meet with their advisers. "Stu
dents should take the time to look
through their majors manual and at
least get an idea of what they want to
major in."
Heidi Neiswender, also a General
College adviser, agreed. She added that
students should plan ahead and pay
attention to perspective requirements
because appointments are scheduled at
10-minute intervals.
While General College advisers say
appointment slots are growing scarce,
many students said they were not aware
that appointment books were already
available.
Freshmen and sophomores were sent
letters informing them of the preregis
tration schedule, and fliers were posted
in the Steele Building and Hanes Hall.
This left many other students to rely on
word of mouth.

(the spring course directory). That's it
that's about all I've heard about it,"

year, with housing areas sponsoring the
different events.
Resident Assistants from Stowe and

Sophomores Francis George, from Wrightsville
Beach, and John Sams, from Winston-Salem,
said Stephen Edwards, a junior from
Aurora.
Most advisers agree it is too early to
tell if many students will have to go
through drop-add, scheduled for Jan.
11 and Jan. 12. Advisers do expect
many students to participate in drop
add to pick up particular courses and
change or drop classes that conflict
with their schedules.
Advisers in both the General Col
lege and the College of Arts and Sci
ences believe there will be the usual
rush for popular courses and courses
that students need to fulfill their Gen
eral College perspectives, especially
the philosophy perspective.
"Students have a tendency to pick
the same classes," Justus said.
Donna Redmon, associate registrar
in charge of registration and student
faculty services, said it was early to tell
if classes would be overcrowded.
Advisers cannot gauge the demand
for certain courses until the first week
in December, she said. The University
may then make adjustments in the
number of professors and classes of
fered for a particular course.

panel, described by Cruz as "a Phil

will offer mocktails prepared by resi

said Cruz. The event, to be held from 8
