� RC Situation
+
* The 4-6 Second Year Privilege
o Consistency is lacking, mainly in the female RCs. 
+
** It�s a senior priv based on GPA because � not known. Happened before Sam was around.
? Certain Rules are really inconsistent because they�re not clear or different depending on the RC.
+
** If it�s because the 4.0s are more responsible �. No.
The Shoe Policy � from the lab to the lounge is okay, right?! We just need the shoes with us.  That�s what we were told last year.
+
** Senior privs  - Can they say glad your back! Sam will talk to the staff about it [when?].  
o Don�t be that worried about it. 
+
what they�re
o Part of it is intent. If a student is teasing �hehe I have my shoes�� Then no. You�re in trouble, kid.
+
* Change senior experience to not being like a 1st year with different classes.  
� 7:30-8 sign in and then going to the station. Reasoning: Because now we know you�re in the building. Is it that much of a difference to check the sign-out sheet to say where we went after 7:30?
+
**Goal: weekend extended curfew.  
o To look into it.
 
4-6 ? 2nd years
 
o It�s a senior priv based on GPA because � not known. Happened before.  
 
o If it�s because the 4.0s are more responsible �. No.
 
Senior privs  - glad your back! Sam will talk to the staff about it [when?].  
 
o Change it to not being a 1st year with different classes.  
 
o Goal: weekend extended curfew.  
 
? It would help if we had a reason behind the rule. And the one (or few) real reasons.
 
? Some RCs treat some people better than other people.
 
? Some RCs treat everyone better than other RCs do. 
 
? We hear, �We�re so busy,� but we don�t ever see what they�re doing.  What are the RCs duties?
 
o Locking myself out of my room. I knocked on Lisa and Cassie�s doors and no one answered. Then I took a shower, got out, called their rooms, and knocked on Lisa�s door again. This was about 10:30 A.M. I called the RLO and they said they�d send someone up. 15 minutes later (ish) I called again and they said they would send someone up� 10 minutes later (ish) Sue comes up stairs, unlocks my door, and
 
o Michelle � called Beth to quickly unlock her door.  Beth, sounding sleepy and in her room, called another RC to try to get her in.  Jerry told her to come to the RLO.. uh.. no clothes� Eventually makes it to the RLO.
 
o Alex Bradford dropped her keys down the elevator shaft.  Lisa said he�d get Winston to help.. and she�s like, �No. They fell.�  So she got sent to Sue to get a replacement fob. She might have to pay because they won�t let her go downstairs with maintenance to get them.  Lisa refused to help with the problem.
 
o Lisa asked me to do a favor for her � to look for someone on 4th floor. She ended up getting distracted and we separated.
 
o Adventure Week incident � one of the 1st year students was having problems (sobbing, Niharika sat with her, she started to hyperventilate).  They tried to get help.  Neal, �Call Lisa.� And he wrote the number on the post-it, gave it to Aman (instead of just calling it).  Went the Beth, went to Cassie= �Call Lisa.� Found Lisa in her room, �What do you want? � I�ll be there in 15 minutes.� 20-ish later, she gives orange juice to the girl, calls mom [didn�t happen before], Lisa told her to take a nap and left.  Way to care.
 
o The Way We�re Treated
 
? Handling of Rules:
 
� VP Office in HS:  �Tell me what happened first.�  Dr. Jennings generally does this, but we don�t get the same kind of treatment with all of the RCs, possibly the majority.
 
� Instead the RCs tend to act hostile and assume we�re guilty.  The way it�s handled is commonly bad. 
 
o Cassie/Lisa outside of 2nd yelling at Cameron and I. 
 
? Some treat us like we�re equals.  Others go on a power kick. 
 
? Sam�s e-mail:  They should be able to trust us, right? Why don�t they show it?
 
o Let�s Fix The Problem!!!
 
? Have a meeting with the RCs and a student board
 
? We�ll be more respected if we don�t go to Sam first. Sam can know, but he doesn�t necessarily have to come.
 
? �You don�t respect us.�  - They�ll try to prove us wrong. 
 
? Let�s keep this a consistent thing so the RCs don�t go back to their same habits.  Make this a new committee or change one.  Res Life? Or change of AIC.  Discussion of problems should not be a part of the SGA meeting because we�re not able to speak as freely.
 
� Driving Situation
 
o At 5 the RLO takes over. Whatever RCs are not off or in the RLO should be available to drive.
 
o The point of having the new system = 1-on-1, etc. Not happening.
 
? Other reasons for the new system? Sam says: to make it easier. Overtime, it�ll be like amazon.
 
o �Since you�re not allowed to have cars, we�ll drive you! No problem.� = Orientation
 
o Bad Situations: 
 
? RCs told a student was sick and needed a ride to Wal-Mart for medicine.  Story�s not usable anymore because of the confusion.
 
? Girls walking back from wal-mart when it was dark, catcalls, called RLO, no one would come pick them us. �You�re okay.�
 
? Many other little ones.
 
� Our Rules/Policies
 
o Consistency (see above)
 
o Reasoning behind some of the rules � we would like them! 
 
? If we know why it�s important, it�s more important to us
 
? Examples:
 
� Piggy Backs � because you�re a CL.
 
 
o Please tell us when we are written up
 
? Andy � Late for lit, etc. Hears about it in the meeting with Sam
 
o Can we go to the station between 10-10:30 with privs?
 
? It all depends. For those allowed to be out after curfew, yes.
 
� Student Government Association � Get more involved with the introduction of rules and policies. This would stop the �make a rule� and then it fails and then make another rule� etc. 
 
  
The RCs are supposed to be available from 4-12 about.
+

In the day time, handle your problems in the RLO.  It gives the RCs a time off.
