Although it is on the opposite end of the spectrum of last week's student club, Commuter Council, the two do have a similar purpose: giving students on cam pus a voice in the affairs of the Col lege. The basic function of JRC is to oversee the individual hall councils found in the residence facilities on campus. Perry, Niagara, Lawrence, Almy, and Ohio Halls all have their own individual hall council; the three suites (Tiffany, Tigress, and Porcupine) are all represented by one hall council, as are the apart ments. Each hall council is made up of the four elected members of its executive hoard, and all the resi dents who regularly participate in hall council meetings and events of the particular hall or halls. The Joint Residence Council it self is comprised solely of the four executive board members that serve JRC. These hoard members have usually first served on the executive hoard of another hall council, or at least were very active with their hall. There are no specific prerequisites for candidacy, but it is desired that ACROSS Good day, Yves Sen.

Anyone who is active with his or her hall coun cil is considered a member of that council. However, JRC involves more than just the four e-board members; dur ing its weekly meetings on Tuesday nights, JRC meets with the presidents, or another representative, of each hall council. Others who are often present include RA's, residence coordinators, and representatives from Housing and Food Services, as well as from the Residence Life staff. JRC works closely with Linda Lombardi, the Di rector of Residence Life and the organization's advisor. During these meetings, JRC discusses the upcom ing events each council is planning, as well as any problems the halls are having. These problems may include any kind of maintenance problems, fund ing problems, or other residence life problems. The individual hall coun cils also go to JRC for additional fund ing. Each council is given so much money through Residence Life. but it can also get JRC money. However, JRC must approve of what the money is being spent on. JRC also sponsors some events in collaboration with other organiza tions. For instance, JRC was a main participant in the recent Cider Rock, All rights reserved 5 Pindaric 6 "The Molly Brown" 7 Go get 8 Man's jewelry 9 Perry's penner 10 Hoover, e.g. 11 Thiamine deficiency 12 Desiccated 13 Sports event 22 Heed 23 Legislative body 25 Cinder 26 Take first 29 Neighbor of Cuba 30 Sat. follower 31 Pigpen 32 Church gatherings 34 Dissemblance 35 Collegiate cheer 36 Used a foot pedal 38 Metric unit 41 Exist 43 Evanston's held in the apartment quad. Also, JRC is a key sponsor of the similar Spring Fever, held late in the spring semes ter. Other upcoming events include the Feed the Need food drive. In this charity event, several Behrend orga nizations are assigned three buildings on campus. In these buildings the organizations set up boxes, in which students and faculty may place do nated food items. In addition to these events, JRC will be a sponsor of the upcoming spirit stations. The day , before every men's and women's bas ketball game, a booth will be set up in the Reed Building to help promote school spirit and pride. Once again, the only students actu ally in Joint Residence Council are the four on the executive hoard: however, students are always welcomed and encouraged to join their own hall councils. Joining a hall council is a great way for the voice of the students to he expressed. JRC's Tuesday meet ings in Ohio Hall are not generally open to the public: the views of the public, however. can he expressed through the hall council representa tives. 01 .
