Karinne Marcum, in her Poland Hall room, is currently going through the selection process to become an RA next semester. When asked why she wants to become an RA the London, Ky. sophomore said, "I like to explain it with a lyric, 'In order to live we must give our lives away'." She says the lyric, from a song by the band Reliant K, helps her convey why. "It's a service job, giving your life to the students living in the residence hall. I'm a Christian. The whole base to that is to love by serving others." JULIA WALKER THOMAS/HERALD
