Although the student center has

his head spinning, i.: t^e least.
There has been a process, however. It all makes sense.
At the beginning of last year,
Steve Berzansky, '88-'89 ASCBC
president, formed the Student
Center Planning Committee, asking Dr. Hal Caddel: to be chairman. The steps this committee
were to take were numerous, but
their goals were simple: u■■■•'** a
student center, and make it like
the students want it.
Once their goals were established, it remained to discover
how that was to be done. There
needed to be a process -a series of
steps-which would bring the student center into being. The following is a summary of the steps
taken by the Planning Committee thus far:
1. Find a location.
Before knowing anything about
cost or style, the committe had to
decide where it was going to be
constructed. The options discussed ranged from a new building, to separate trailers, and included places like the ceramics
lab, the copy room, the basement
of the library, and the language
lab of the main building, which
was their final choice. According

2. Discern student needs.
Soon after Dan Pryfogle took
over for Berzansky as student
head of the committee, a survey
was put out to the students, asking them what they wanted in
their own student center. The
most common answers in terms
of theme were '50s and/or nostalgic CBC. The committee put together a design for the center
which was a mixture of both,
trusting the students' responses to
be representative.

Habitat celebrates landmark
By Jeanine Bourcier
Staff writer for The Banner
"Habitat for Humanity, Riverside is about to celebrate a milestone," writes affiliate director
Nisa Baty in a recent newsletter.
That milestone is the completion of Habitat's first home,
which was started last fall. Habitat for Humanity is a non-
denominational Christian organization devoted to providing
homes for families that live in either substandard housing or are
without a home.
This is also the first home in
Southern California to be completed by Habitat for Humanity
International. It is hoped the
Avila family can move in by the
end of March.
The $50,000 house ended up
costing only $5,500 through donated help and supplies. All the
landscaping and furnishings were
supplied by the Board of Realtors
to kick-off their homeowner's
week. The rest of the work and
supplies were provided by volunteers.
The Avila family had an active
part in the construction of their
home, working alongside the volunteers. Mrs. Avila also provided food and drinks for those working. "George Avila was a real
inspiration to us," said Baty,
"even though he is quadripalegic,
he always wanted to help work
on something." Baty also stated
that the community became involved with the house and helped
make the Avilas feel welcome.
On Sunday, April 29, Habitat
will be sponsoring a 10K walk in
honor of the completed house and
See Habitat, p. 5
Monday thru Thursday, the library will sponsor an auction.
The auction will consist of Encyclopedias and other reference sets.
It will be a silent auction in
which the students place a silent
bid, with the highest bid on
Thursday at 2 p.m. earning the
set(s).
Wednesday will be known as
"Grace Day," a day that students
can bring in overdue materials
free of charge.
On Thursday and Friday the library will hold its book sale in
which books will be sold at 35
cents an inch. Each day there
will be a new selection of books.
"The book sale is a good opportunity for the students to build
their own personal library. There
