Starting next semester, all resident assistants will be required to attend one of two mandatory meetings once a month for training, said Bill Schnackel, director of hous- ing and dining. “Training is always an issue,” Schnackel said. “A year ago we decided we had to find a time everybody had for training.” RAs will be required to meet from 3 to 5 p.m. one Thursday a month or at another meeting time which has yet to be determined, Schnackel said. All Thursdays have to be free, said Amanda Zuber, a senior speech communication major and RA in Pemberton Hall. In addition to the one all-campus meeting, all the other Thursdays are staff meetings, she said. The RA meeting is in addition to the RA class. The idea for a mandatory meeting was discussed last year, and it was decided to be optional for the fall semes- ter because of class conflicts, but mandatory for the spring, he said. “We showed some leniency, but for spring semester we need to meet,” Schnackel said. A couple of the current RAs had a conflict with the Thursday meeting time, so for the spring semester 2001, the housing office is trying to work out an arrangement to accommodate everyone, Schnackel said. For those stu- dents who had problems, they are going to designate another meeting time, he said. “We think we’ve been able to work it out,” he said. “I don’t know of anybody who has to resign because of class conflicts.” One RA said the idea is a good idea, and the principle Matt Shivers / Staff photographer behind it is something to be looked into; however, she does not agree with the mandatory meeting.

Faculty, staff, admin- istration and the students are all responsible for the combined effort that earned Eastern this prestigious position among America’s institutions of higher learn- ing. As vice president for student affairs Lou Hencken said, “Eastern is more than buildings, it’s a people.” It also gives us a break from the negativity that has plagued the campus in recent months. It’s hard to dis- parage a seventh-place finish out of 123 competitors. In addition, it also provides a reference point to the current state of the campus. If we’re seventh-best right now, and we have a gutted library, the lowest paid fac- ulty in the state, a dropping enrollment and a temporary administration, imagine how good we’ll be after all of these situations are resolved. In the next two years, many campus upgrades should be completed or under way, including the food court, a beautiful new entryway to Old Main, Ethernet and vari- ous other renovations in the residence halls, a more sta- ble group of administrators, a new baseball field and a state-of-the-art library.

By Shauna Gustafson City editor

Construction on Ninth Street and Lincoln Avenue has been finished by the city and now only awaits work from the Illinois Department of Transportation. “Our job is done on Ninth Street,” said Bill Riebe, city manager. Riebe said all that is left to be completed on Lincoln Avenue is traffic loops at stoplights and lane lines, which are both to be handled by IDOT. “I think everything went very smoothly,” he said. “I think all parties involved should be commended.” Greg Idleman, construction field engineer for IDOT, said the depart- ment is hoping to finish the majori- ty of the work on the Lincoln Avenue project by the end of the week. Idleman said all IDOT had left to do was to stripe the road and contin- ue adjusting manholes, which is what the department is currently working on. ‘We are hoping to get that Laura Stange / Staff photographer wrapped up fairly soon,” Idleman said. “I know it was quite an incon- A car drives down Ninth Street Monday.
