HOPE undertakes
house construction
By Matthew Hart
Senior Staff Writer
For three years, University
HOPE (Housing Opportunities
through Education) lias done more
than give construction majors field
experience. They have worked
upon their acronym and attempted
to change the lives of those off the
campus as well as on.
HOPE is a California State Uni¬
versity, Fresno program that has
provided housing for underprivi¬
leged families. The homes are built
by an all-volunteer staff from start
to finish, and many of the materi¬
als are donated from local organi¬
zations.
The program, which is a chap¬
ter affiliate of the international pro¬
gram Habitat for Humanity, also
gives Fresno State students a
chance to gain hands-oit'experience
in the field they have been study¬
ing for years.
Mike Orth, a senior construction
management major, is responsible
for all construction at this year's
site.
"It's a great experience for me,"
Orth said. "It's a bunch of small
parts coming together to help the
whole community."
Orth said that a good thing to
come out of his work in the organi¬
zation was the sense of completion.
The house being built now is right
across from the house built last
year.
Orth said it is a boost to look
across the street and see what he did
last year.
University HOPE began three
years ago as the local chapter of
Habitat for Humanity, which ac¬
cording to Don Romsa on the
HOPE board of directors, is the
fourth largest home builder in the
world. That year they built, a one-
room house for an elderly woman.
After the house was done, the

which must have a low temperature to operate properly,
aids in the transferring process from the larger tank into the
