"Passages," a play about the Southeast
Asian refugee experience featuring a cast of
Hmong, Vietnamese, Laotian and Chinese
actors, is returning to CSUF on Thursday at
7 p.m. in the Satellite Student Union.
The play is one of several events sched¬
uled for Amerasia Week (March 1-6), a
celebration of Asian and Asian American
cultures in California. - - .
"Passages," adapted for the stage by CSUF
student Kimberly Chin, examines the cul-
~^\
tural and language barriers faced by Asian
refugees upon their arrival in the United
States. The play was first presented in the
spring of last year.
"The stories were so powerful and mov-
. ing that I could only read one "at a sitting,"
said Chin, director of the play, regarding her
initial exposure to the work she-adapted for
the theater.
"All of us, should know about the South¬
east Asian culture and what these people
have endured," she said
"Wfe never hear anything about what the
government does not want to reveal. It is
kind of a hidden history," Chin said.,
According to Chin, there are more than
53,000 Southeast Asians living in Fresno.
The annual CSUF Amerasia Week kicks
off at 10 a.m. Monday in the University
Student Union Rooms 312-314.
Beth Renge, a native Fresnan and fea¬
tured speaker at President Clinton's eco¬
nomic conference in Little Rock last De¬
cember, will address how the Clinton ad¬
ministration relates to Asian Americans.
Her business, Renge Securities, is one of
the rfation's first 100 percent Asian Ameri¬
can, woman-owned municipal security firms.
Franklin Ng, coordinator of the Asian
American Studies program and professor of
anthropology & CSUF, said, "The event
offers more than entertainment. It is a form
of public service. Not only do we promote
intercuitural communicationamong the dif¬
ferent Asian groups, we also provide an
opportunity for the larger community to
learn about the Asian mosaic in California."1
Ng has been the faculty adviser for the
Amerasia Club since 1975.

affordable education
By Tom Zulewskl
Staff-writer
The fees, they are a-risin'.
And some students are very SCARED
and Concerned about it as an ever-increas¬
ing fact of life in the CSU and UC systems.
From March 6 through March 8. SCARED
(Student Coalition Against Real Educational
Disaster) will join forces with Concerned
Students, a group based at UC Santa Cruz,
for a rally at the State Capitol in Sacramento.
The rally is being targeted' at (he Califor¬
nia Legislature to lobby for quality and
affordable education for everyone.
One of the leaders of UCSC Concerned
Students, Nadya Rosen, said the group was
formed last fall to fight against fee hikes and
cuts to student services. Their focus has
changed this semester (quarterafthe UCSC
campus).
"This quarter, our priority will be to get
more funding fqphigher education.-.We're
lobbying for more money, but not trying to
pit ourselves against other social services."
Like. SCARED. Concerned Students at
UCSC tried their own form of non-violent
protest |ast Jail, conducting a sit-in at the
executive vice-chancellor's office. Riot po¬
lice were summoned that day and 11 arrests
were made. *
"They (police) used clubs and mace on
some of the protestors and did it without
provocation," Rosen said. "It was a scary
situation." \
Concerned Students also has a group

Two honorary degree candidates selected
Newly formal committee makes
first recommendations for
honorary doctorate recipients
By Jennifer L. Davis
Staff wrtier ,
.The newly formed Committee on Honorary Degrees has
made its first recommendations for degrees to be conferred
during commencement this spring. *
The committee, which consists of members of the Faculty
Awards Committee, was formed last spring by the Aca¬
demic Senate after prompting by President John D. Welty.
The degrees are awarlled by the Board of Trustees of the
CSU system each year. They accept up to two nominations
per campus.
"This program allows the
university to recognize out¬
standing people for their ac¬
complishments," Welty said.
The committee met last
November to set up a nomi¬
nation deadline, and they
issued a letter to the campus
community explaining the
criteria for awarding" the de¬
grees.
The nomination deadline
was Jan. 29.
The- committee has se¬
lected two names, which were forwarded to Welty.
Welty, will choose to send one, two or none ofthe names
to the-Board of Trustees, which will decide whether to
award honorary degrees to the nominees.
The nominees, could be awarded a doctorate of Letters,
Gonzalez
Humane Letters, Laws, Fine Arts or Science.
i Alex Gonzalez, provost and vice president for Academic
Affairs, serves as the chair of the committee.
"There's a lot of people who have and who continue to
contribute to the university,"-Gonzalez said. "It's important
for the university to do this."
Four other faculty members and the Vice President for
Development Lynn Hemink, also serve on the committee.
Roberta Asahina, professor of journalism, finds work on
the'committee to be very satisfying.
"I look at the word 'honorary.' That's what's important,"
- Asahina said.
Asahina disagrees with the viewpoint that honorary de¬
grees are "bought degrees," awarded to those who give
financially to the institution.
"Our committee does not' look at it like that. It's not a
i degree that's purchased," Asahina said.
