in industrial technology and presi¬
dent of the Amerasia Gub, shares -
Ng's concern over the increasing
trend of gang activity and ethnic
fighting.
Ng attributes the rising number
of incidents of Southeast Asian
gang fighting to being symptom¬
atic of the often "traumatic, diffi¬
cult adjustment made by Asian
refugees to American society."
"As long as someone has learned
something about Amerasian cul¬
ture, we have done our job," said
Nguyen. "The goal is to (foster)
peace at these functions."
Amerasia Week also features a
cultural diversity forum to be held
for the first time this year.
The forum, titled "Diversity
Among Southeast Asians," focuses
on variations in Asian customs. It
will take place on Tuesday at 1
p.m. in the Upstairs CafeteriaRoom
200.
Scheduled to make presentations
at the forum are Vinh Ngo, a Viet¬
namese, who is the health and safety
director at Fresno-Madera Red .
Cross; Aline Tea, a Cambodian
social worker; and Her Yan, a
Hmong CSUF graduate student

What Baby Boomers'
parents feared most
WASHINGTON (CPS)-Ifs
official. The rock 'n' roll genera¬
tion has taken over the White
House.
As President Clinton and first .
lady Hillary Clinton swooped
through 11 inaugural balls Jan. 20,
it became apparent to anyone
i watching the estimated 63,000
black-tie-reveles that this admin¬
istration was going to be different.
The saxophone-playing presi¬
dent delighted throngs at the inau¬
gurals balls by jamming with five
different bands. At the Arkansas
ball, he accompanied legendary
rock musician Benli. King, who
wrote the song, "Your Momma
Don't Dance and.Your Daddy
Don't Rock V Roll." Later,
Clinton hit a few.sour notes when
he joined Clarence Clemmons and
the E Street.Band on a version of
James Brown's "Night Train."
Clinton was self-deprecatory
about his ability, but Clemmons
said the president did all right. "If s
good to know that he has some¬
thing to fall back on in case this
presidency doesn't work out,"
Clemmons told reporters. _
During the campaign, Clinton
promised to return to MTV, and he
did. MTV"s Rock V Roll Inau¬
gural ball was one of the hottest
ticket events in Washington on in¬
augural night  j__	
Clinton and his wife showed up '
briefly at the music television
channel's party and told the crowd
that he still believed in the Rock
the Vote campaign that registered
so many young voters.
"I fought this campaign because
I want you to have a better future,"
he said before infoducing his wife
and daughter, Chelsea, who may
have bested her father in terms of
audience response.
The first daughter broke into a
wide grin as the frenzied crown
began to chant, "Chelsea, Chelsea,
Chelsea!"
Even Vice President Al Gore
danced (or at least tried to) with his
wife Tipper atone ball. And, when
the Gores showed up at the MTV
ball, the vice president worked the
crowd like he was still campaign¬
ing, o
Gore said the Clinton-Gore ticket
won the election because of young
voters like those who attended the
MTV ball or watched the festivi¬
ties on TV.
"We rocked the vote, all right.
