University officials have estimated the project could generate about $900,000 a year for the campus. ``We would love to be under construction by next summer,'' said Elliot Mininberg, a Northridge professor and member of an independent corporation formed by the university to oversee the project. ``I don't think that we can beat that deadline.''

He is concerned it will compete with longtime businesses in the area. ``They need to take into consideration the surrounding community and the influence that their development has,'' he said. ``I want to be a part of the process. I would like them to listen to my opinion.'' CAPTION(S): 2 Photos Photo: (1) A guard patrols Cal State Northridge's campus area slated for a shopping mall and movie theatre.
