Ms. Besecker also explained that Student Government was asked to halt its plans last year because the proposed center was a more "promising idea." Mr. Aug and Ms. Besecker both worked very hard with Mike Ilyinski this past year to make the Student Service Center ~lausible. The Administration is excited about this project. They look forward to offering yet another benefit to Indian Hill students.

It goes without saying that the Administration's concern about giving the students what they want should never be forgotten or ever again underestimated.

STUDENT OPINION

by David Johnson With the announcement of the Student Service Center at Tuesday's Board Meeting, many students will soon be appalled at the magnitude of the gift. (It has been financed by donations, making it a true gift.) The Administration, headed by Dr. Feltman, has been working ~on the project for almost a year and with the help of personal donations, the entire project will soon be underway. A crude analysis of the project shows that it seems to reach out to everyone - the Peer Counselors, the talk study hall victims, l and~most importantly, the average Joe who has grown tired of relax-

by Chad Christine The Indian Hill High School Administration reacted positively towards the Student Service Center. The Administration forsees no major problems with the future center, said Miss Kay Gieringer. "There's always the possibility of student vandalism but I hope that they will respect it." Ms. Besecker added, "they'd-be crazy to vandalize their own facility." The Student Service Center will not be used as any type of study hall or lounge for seniors or underclassmen. According to Ms.

Boston and the Board of Education voted unanimously in favor of the Student Service Center.

imately 130 feet by 30 feet, will be against the wall, facing t h e windows and benches. It will be composed of different sized hexagonal discussion rings or pods, the smallest holding six people, and including two larger semi-rings that can hold as many as several dozen students and that have a podium for speakers and audio-visual equipment. The existing student mural will be

moved. The Student Service Center will house a Peer Counselor faciity. The room, capable of housing 60 people, can divide into two small meeting rooms by a sliding partition. Connected to this room are several small closets for t h e storage of chairs. The Center will rest on a new flooring, a combination of gray tile and carpeting. Construction of the facility will begin in November; while both Ilyinsky and Horwitz keep close watch, several contractors will build the pods in their shop as the Peer Counseling Center is being constructed in the school. Ms. Besecker asserted that upon completion of construetion, there will be a "communitywide dedication-"

He then contacted Tom Horwitz, an interior designer, to help him design the Center and make plans for construction. "The pods are to be used all day long," explained designer Horwitz. Ms. Besecker added that they can be used by students "any time that students would use benches now." Though administrators are hoping that good student attitude will prevent damange t o the Center, Ilyinsky and Horwitz pointed out that they have designed the pods to be "as indestructible as

possible." The pods will be constructed by plywood covered with carpeting in a variety of colors. They have already made a sample and "kicked it around" - and it didn't break. Ilyinsky added that while he is doing what he can for the school, as to the success of the project, "It's up to the students." And he added that while he plans the tenter room to be a "home for the Peer Counseling group, it will belong to everyone." Ilyinsky said that much of the credit should go to Horwitz, who turned an abstract idea into a concrete and practical plan for a student facility. Ilyinsky has been working on this center for a year and as a final comment he stated, "It began as a dream, and now it's becoming a reality."
