Alcalá 1992

' 'I

t's got just about everything you could ask for." Julie Otero, Freshmen

The University Center acted as a main place of congregation for students on cam– pus. It has always been a place to eat, a place to study and a place to "hang out" all rolled into one. It was also a place to gather news and other information. Whenever there was something new going on in the world, you could count on a television being set up somewhere in the UC to tell us about it. On the day that Magic Johnson announced he was HIV positive, there was a crowd of over fifty people gathered around a TV just outside the deli. When the U.S. hockey team played for a medal in the 1992 Winter Olympic Games, everyone was glued to the big-screen in the Grille. The UC met almost every need the average college stu– dent had. Activities ranged from music-listening and bands to guest speakers, town meet– ings, movies and comedians. Its rooms were also available for other student meet– ings. Students were able to utilize the qui– et study lounges, the computer lab, the music-listening lounge and the game room. The UC also housed a number of important offices, such as Student Affairs, Associated Students, Residence Life, Din– ing Services, Operations and Student Or– ganizations.
