Now, we could argue that she WAS complicit in crimes against humanity, but she didn't know what she was getting into when she signed up! Having said that, the RA position attracts a lot of douchebags, some of whom end up running for ASUO executive. The Animal House quote is priceless, considering that UO tour guides and recruiters are required to play up the UO's role in that film. The University totally uses it as a recruiting tool.

This is Nevada's third attempt to turn out the stoner vote. I moved to Eugene after the second try failed to pass by single digits. I supported these initiatives back home and have found the unspoken decriminalization here in Eugene to further enhance all the standard libertarian arguments in regards to decrim. Appartantly campus is the only place in Eugene where someone will give a shit if you burn a fatty. Nevada and Colorado have measures to decriminalize up to an ounce of marijuana.

Hey, I hated busting people for it just as much as the bustees hated getting their buzz killed, but rules is rules, and work is work. I can't tell you how many times I had to actually debate with residents over what "constituted" a bottle of alcohol, or find out how one "prepares for" a shower by walking out of the stalls fully clothed, towel in one hand and Febreze in the other. I can't speak for all RA's, but I know I never confiscated weed; that's supposed to be handed straight to DPS. I'm not going to say that all RA's are innocent of being on power trips. All I know is that I did it for the free room and board, and in order to keep that up I had to fulfill my duties. I guarantee you that's what you'll hear from many ex-RAs, or even current ones if you can find some who don't care about the rule they have that they can't serve as PR people for Housing.
