That is the *nix way (and thus Darwin way), actually. One user can't create files for another user, so the correct method is to log in as the Admin user, and create a .cshrc file in the Admin user's home directory. And, for your reference, the Admin home directory is "~Admin", not "~/Admin". A "~" on its own means the home directory of the user you're logged in as, so when you're logged in as Staff, "~/Admin" would translate to /Users/Staff/Admin -- a directory called "Admin" under Staff's home directory. On the other hand, if you do "~Admin", no matter who you're logged in as that will translate to /Users/Admin.
