Jmmm Many scholarships available for students interested in Armenian Studies With the recent 40% fee in¬ creased that was approved by the state earlier this year many stu¬ dents have felt the crunch in pay¬ ing for their college tuition: While some students joke that winning the California Lottery is their only way to afford school, many stu- dents do not realize that there are a variety of scholarships available from both CSU, Fresno and out¬ side sources to help them fund their education. , Specifically for students of Armenian descent or with interest in .Armenian Studies, there are two main sources for scholarships for the 1993-1994 semesters.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR maaammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ■ ■ I 1 DearEditor I have enclosed a donation for your newspapei. I think Hye Sharzhoom is a very fine newspaper as 11 gives young students an opportunity to express them¬ selves on Lmportant .Armenian issues. Thank you. Sincerely yours, Richard Deimrjian Morag a, California DearEditor: I was completely shocked and ut¬ terly disappointed after reading the October 1992 issue of Hye Sharzhoom. As editor from Fall 1990 to Spring 1992,1 tried to establish a newspaper that would be accessible and enjoyed by all people—not just aArmenians. All of die progress that I had made has. unfortunately been set aside by revert¬ ing back to 1920's Armenian type of politics (read the article "Overview" on page 1 if you don't believe that politics is why the ASO is currently faltering). First off, Hye Sharzhoom was es¬ tablished for tbe students of CSUFresno. It is a student newspaper. It was not meant for Armenians in San Francisco or Armenians in Lebanon and, above all, it is not part of the ASO. The A.SO and MHye Sharzhoom" are separate en¬ tities'and are funded separately. Aside from the editor andjadvisor, only three other names appeared in the staff box— and it is the opinions of just these people that are now evident throughout tbe paper and not the opinions ofthe major¬ ity of Armenians on campus. As editor, I received (andean look through the "Letters to the Editor" sec¬ tion of past issues—incidentally miss¬ ing from this issue) compliments re¬ garding tbe paper and die different segments that I had established to ap¬ peal to what the majority of the people wanted to read. Tbe "Hye Profile," which profiled a successful .Armenian ofthe community and the "Campus Hye Profiles," which asked Questions to different Annenian students and .Armenian Trivia, light-hearted edito¬ rials and commentaries, were all miss¬ ing from this latest issue. Understand that I took over as editor because it was something I felt I could contribute positively towards. I am proud of the fact that I was always able to get willing and competent stu¬ dents to work on my staff—this recent issue has just two staff writers. My articles were in no way im mature— and anyone who believes they were immature is definitely lacking in in te 1- ligence and a sense of humor. A reason why so many Annenian students go through CSU Fresno with¬ out participating in the ASO is maybe because they don't want to be associ¬ ated with the "politics" of this organi¬ zation. Most of the Armenian students of CSU Fresno (except for the few "cultural elite") are more .American than un-American. If you want to get more students involved, stop trying to constantly create problems and focus¬ ing on just aArmenian activities. This is net a ki.ock on Armenians—read any of my past articles and you will clearly see that I strongly advocate being .Ar¬ menian. Yet, if you want more panic i- paoon, have events and activities that people will actually want to participate in , Again, the Overview" article oh page lis truly discouraging to see. If the individual writing it wanted to achieve a truly one-sided, biased, and untrue ar¬ ticle, he definitely accomplished what he set out to do. _v And another thing, if you want to compare the current Hye Sharzhoom with the Hye Sharzhoom of last year, that is perfectly fine with me because i am proud of the professional look and substance the paper had when I was editor. Here's a suggestion—why not ask students of .Armenian 1 Aand Arme¬ nian Studies classes which one they prefer? / Sincerely, Jeff Ahronian, former editcr of Hye Sharzhoom Editor's note: This edition of "Hye Sharzhoom" is under new editorship. Mr. Ahronian's letter refers to the pre¬ vious issue which had a different editor. Advisor's Note: In response to the letter of former editor JeffAhronian the following points must be made: . I) Hye Sharzhoom was started by members ofthe ASO in 1979 and ASO members have been actively involved in the newspaper since. Hye Sharzhoom was started so mat the students on this campus would have a voice not only on this campus but in the community at large, whether in San Francisco, Leba¬ non, or anywhere elstln the world. That is why it is the largest circulation Arme¬ nian student newspaper in the world. %2)Thearticlesin Hye Sharzhoom reflect the opinions of individual stu¬ dents and the diversity that they repre¬ sent. If Mr. Ahronian would attend ASO meetings he would see that there are no 1920's (?) politics as usual, but rather a group of students addressing the concerns of their generation. The ASO has always been an open and neutral forumfor students to exchange ideas. 3) The article in the last issue of Hye Sharzhoom, "An Overview of ASO," was an article written by a non- Armenian and first published in the Insight campus newspaper and then reprinted in the Hye Sharzhoom. It reflected the opinions of those inter¬ viewed although it did nor present a complete picture of the situation, but rather discussed issues which were dealt with last year. 4) As to Mr. Ahronian's sugges¬ tion to solicit responses from students regarding their views of the current versus past issues of Hye Sharzhoom, readers should know students from Armenian Studies classes who wrote letters containing unfavorable com¬ ments about Hye Sharzhoom were not published by Mr. Ahronian. Hye Sharzhoom will continue to reflect the diversity of student opinion on the Fresno Suite campus. Letters to Hye Sharzhoom can be sent to The Annenian Studies Office, CSU, Fresno, Fresno, CA 93740-0004. , *.*■■&**•• 1 / j. ••r-?^<*-V ^ -••*>•" '•• . - - ^\:^v,,\^\ l|H ! 3 > ' .
