Instead, they stood there, seeming to have authoritative chips on their shoulders, and insisted on glaring at particular students as they passed. Now maybe I am wrong and the RA attitude that they all seem to possess when duty calls is part of the job requirement. But let's face it, no one is intimidated. The RAs walk among us every day, as fellow students, as our friends, and as people we can turn to in time of crisis. I'm sure they hate fire drills just as much as the rest of us do.
Some students think the decision was uncalled for.
I supposed we could all give the RAs a break, considering that they have their superiors too and aren't excused from putting up with fire drills and angry mobs. After living in G-K for three years, I consider myself an expert at these fire drills. I'm used to the way these things pan out. Still, I remain invisible and observe the effects of such events. RAs are becoming increasingly annoyed with the foolishness of false alarms, and students displaying the potty dance in the courtyard are coming closer to mass revolt each time.
