IT’S THAT TIME: If you’re confused about which way to change your clocks tonight: It’s “spring forward, fall back” and this is spring . That means if your body clock wakes you up at 7 a.m. Sunday, it will actually be 8 a.m. . . . Tourneau’s, the clock store at South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, actually did a survey to see what people would miss most with the time change. No surprise: That extra hour of sleep, 68% said. But another 21% said they’d miss that hour of quality time.

NEW LANDMARK? There’s an expansive, new white stone structure near Harbor Boulevard in Santa Ana that looks much like a Buddhist pagoda. But look closely; you’ll see the cross. . . . It’s the $5-million Vietnamese Catholic Community Center, already opened for some cultural events, though it won’t be finished until 1996. Says the center’s director, Msgr. Tien Nguyen: “Many have mistaken it for a temple, but the architecture is traditional Vietnamese. We hope it will become a landmark.”

EXPOSING NEW PLAN: For the first time, the fund-raising foundations of 15 Orange County school districts are combining efforts. The plan was formulated before the county bankruptcy, but school officials say it’s needed now more than ever. Says Elizabeth Thomas, spokeswoman for the joint venture: “As individual foundations, our fund-raising efforts could go only so far.” . . . First up: The new group will get a chunk of ticket sales at this weekend’s Kid’s Stuff Expo at the Anaheim Convention Center.

MUSIC TO LIVE BY: If your musical interests run toward Latin American harps, the name in that circle is Alfredo Rolando Ortiz, who has played them all over the world. Tonight he performs at the San Juan Capistrano Multicultural Arts series at the city’s regional library. . . . What does Ortiz list as his most important concert? New Year’s Eve, 1980--when he played the harp in the delivery room when his daughter was born.
