Alternatives to the cafeteria included the Coffeehouse, Bronco Corral, and Down Under. l S FAMILY R00 by Trish Keady - t 2:00 p.m., jill returns once again to Benson, this time for lunch. On the way, she and a couple of friends meet Dave, who is on his way back from class. Hi, Dave! We're going over to Benson. Care to join us? Cafeteria food? Blech! l'd rather warm a cherry pop tart on my iron tonightf, Entering Benson, they stop in the lobby to chat with jim, who is selling bedtime stories, courtesy of fifth fIoor Dunne. Creati Heres my dollar. I'Il have one for my roommate. That's right, Campisi. Thursday night? Perfect! Bronco is crowded, so jill just grabs a pastrami sandwich and diet Coke to go, all credited to her SAGA meal plan. Since it's raining, they go downstairs to the post oflice. Cot any mail? Yeah, Nffzmziwk and a letter from Mom. Why? What'd you get? MCI bill and a letter from B of A. I'm overdrawn again. It's that stupid Versatel card. I never know how much money I have! Later that afternoon jill escapes from her gregarious roomie and settles herself in Shapell lounge to catch up on some serious reading. Glancing at her watch, she remembers she has to stop at the bookstore for a scantron sheet and a card for her brothers birthday. Then she has to meet Sarah and Michael in the Swiss Air Lounge, adjoining the coffeehouse, to go over their notes for tomorrow's Bio quiz. Studying goes well, so the three decide to break for dinner in the coffeehouse and make plans for tomorrow night's entertainment. Over chicken burritos, they decide on Comedy Night in the coffeehouse, with a quick game of pool afterwards. As they return to someones room for a private party, they grab a few snacks at the Down Under con- venience store. Returning to her room later that evening, jill needs more sustenance for an all-night ses- sion in front of the typewriter. so she and her roomie break out a six-pack of Diet Coke, purchased that morning at Down Under, and pick up the phone for Wild Pizza. Turning to her beloved roommate, jill exclaims. Oh, my Cod! I forgot to pick up my readings at Campus Ministry for next Sunday! Some days I swear I spend half my life at Benson. Don't forget your meeting for CalPirg in the afternoon. Thanks, Tracy. Remind me to check my horoscope while I'm over there. I bet it says some- thing about a large white build- ing on the corner of Santa Clara St. and the Alameda figuring prominently in my busy schedule. Whether one is eating, buying, working, or playing, Benson Center is, without a doubt, the hub of activity at SCU. SCU's Family Room

After undergoing a major renovation that took two years, Benson became better equipped to meet the needs of the SCU community. The game of foosball requires coordination, speed and dexterity on the pan of teammates, David Londono and Mike Corpuz. Benson's new game room also offered other games, such as pool, ping-pong, and video games to students. Student Life .ln 1
