            1.   Previous history of office space use by the group, i.e.,
                 has the group made effective use of the space or has the
                 privilege been abused.
            
            2.   Relative need one group has vis-a-vis other applying
                 group(s), and whether groups have alternative space
                 available.
            
            3.   Size of group, i.e., how many members?
            
            4.   Beneficiaries of the group's programs or activity, i.e.,
                 number of non-members benefiting.
            
            5.   Longevity of the group, i.e., the group must have been a
                 registered campus organization for at least one year prior
                 to making the request.
       
       B.   At any time, group(s) may be required to give up their assigned
            space, if, after a Finance Board hearing and recommendation to
            the Director, Activities Planning Center, the Director decides
            that this action is warranted.
