"They felt then* was a need to build houses for
people in a way that those who had money could
help those who dirHlot,’’ Mac Neil said
Habitat is supported by individuals, businesses
and churches who provide volunteer labor, man
agement expertise* and donations of money and
materials.
Since framing began on Smith's home in fune.
more than 75 volunteers have worked on her
house In addition to the donated labor, 15 area
businesses eac h contributed more than $250 in
money and materials.
Habitat keeps the cost of housing low by using
volunteer labor And each selected family must
put in "sweat equity" hours working on their own
home, another home or some other chore, suc h as
office work, for Habitat.
Gerald Keenerjjresident of the board of direc
tors of the Eugene-Springfield chapter said each
family accepted into the program has to put in 500
hours of work.
Families are selected based on their financial
need, willingness to become partners in the pro
gram. current housing situation and ability to
make house payments, Keener said.
"We look at the seriousness of the need, if the
physical condition of their house is bad or if then*
an* too many people living in one plac e." Keener
said "We also want to make sure they have the
means to keep up with payments "
When the house is c ompleted, the family gets a
nointerest mortgage that covers the ac tual cost of
the house*, insuranc e and taxes The homeowner is
responsible for such expenses as utilities and
maintenance The monthly house payments go
into a revolving fund to help build additional
Habitat homes.

It takes roughly a year to tH months from the
application time to the actual day a family can
move in. Keener said The process includes find
ing vacant land to build on and organizing the
funding process, labor and construction.
Smith said it was well worth the wait and the
work she put into it.
"It's like being pregnant." she said. "Once it's
over with, it's great. You know it was worth it.”
Keener said there are many more applications
turned in than Habitat can acc ommodate. Sixty
people applied for the chance to get the first local
house, he said.
"There's obviously a great need out there."
Keener said.
Although the local chapter has just three houses
under its belt, the 20.000th Habitat house will be
built this week as part of a blitz by the national
chapter in Georgia. MncNeil said more than 1,000
volunteers from the United States and as far away
as Canada. New Zealand and Ireland made the
journey to help.
Former President Jimmy Carter, a longtime sup
porter and volunteer for Habitat, is part of the
weeklong building effort that will result in 20 new
homes in Americus. Ga., by Sunday.
The local Habitat is completing work on its
fourth house and plans to build three new ones in
1903 Habitat will begin taking applications in
|uly. Keener said For more information, call 741

MEASURES
Continued from Page 1
Siomsan said she's had female
patients tell her they were raped
imt they could nut afford the STD
tests or they didn't want their
insurance companies to know
about the tests. These women do
want the tests, though, because
the women fear their assailants
gave them an STD
"It's a lot of worry for some
ImkIv to carry around." she said
The proposed measure for the
multicultural center asks students
if they w ill pay a one-time fee of
$2 45 per student per term for one
year If the measure passes. il will
generate $109,025 to pay for
remodeling ami start-up costs for
the center
Creating a multicultural center
has been <fis< ussed by students
for several years, Collins Puente
said. The center would serve as
a central location for minority
students to come together
Students of Color Building
Bridges, of which Collins Puente
is a member, released a list of
demands to the administration
last month for improving the
environment for minority stu
dents A multicultural (.enter was
among the group's long-term
demands.
"With the changes in the demo
graphics of the world, it's impor
tant to create an environment
where students of color have a
place where they feel comfort
able." Collins Puente said.
"Students keep putting forth
requests, and yet they are so
rarely being responded to by
administration." she said "For a
longtime, people have been say
ing they want a multicultural (ni
ter The time is now."
The proposed site of the center
would l)e next to Footnotes in the
KMU basement. Collins Puente
