Informing black high school and com¬
munity college students and their parents
that CSUF has the capacity to meet their
educational needs was the goal of the,
Black Student Recruitment Conference held
on campus Saturday.
Eddie Adams, a management specialist
in the CSUF Personnel Office, said he
wants to sec area students enroll in CSUF
to "train local kids in the area" and "lo
create a vested interest in the community."
Kelvin Darrough. a sophomore at Ed¬
ison Computech, attended the conference.
Darrough said he wants to major in com¬
puter science at CSUF "partly because il is
close lo home."
Richard Ford, dean of the School of
Health and Social Work, said, "The goal of
.the  program  is  to  point  the  kids  toward
college." Besides simply pointing students
in the direction of college, the conference
provides an idea of how to prepare for
college. /
The workshops are planned to fulfill the
different needs of three groups of
prospective students: ninth and tenth
grader, eleventh and twelfth students and
community college students.
The topics covered included curriculum
planning, admission requirements, the
I transfer, process and financial aid. There
was also a special workshop for parents of
college bound students to furnish them
with information about financial resources
available and the importance" of providing
emotional support for college students.
Ivy Roberts, senior Administrative Law
Judge with the California Unemployment
Insurance Appeals Board, was the keynote
speaker, and Dr. Fitzalbcri Marius. a local
physician and teachers, was the motiv¬
ational   speaker.   After   Roberts   spoke   in
me afternoon, a career fair was held in the
/Residence Dining Hall.
Marche' Holland, a sophomore at CSUF,
said she had attended the conference as a
high school student in 1984. 1985 and
1986. Holland said the conferences gave
her and idea of what to expect from
college, they were beneficial in meeting
application requirements, financial aid and
early registration deadlines. "The motiv¬
ation speakers and wo/kshops also helped
to decide on college," she said
The conference was sponsored by the
CSUF Ethnic Studies Department and the
Black Progress Alliance.
Adams described the Black Progress
Alliance as "an umbrella organization for
black students" that has replaced the Pan
African Student Union. It is composed of
representatives from black student organ¬
izations on campus. -_

of the southwest comer, knocking over 10
feet of chainlink fence at the northeast
comer of the football practice field, on the
stadium grounds.
The pursuit ended just north of the
Barstow Avenue frontage road on
Millbrook Avenue. The driver abandoned
his vehicle and ran into a residential
neighborhood. A backup officer chased
him for a short distance, but lost sight of
the fleeing man.
Based on the description of the driver,
it was initially believed he had been
involved in in an earlier minor injury hit-
and-run accident on Maple Avenue between
Alluival and Nces Avenues, approximately
one mile north of Herndon Avenue. A
check with Fresno Police revealed the
abandoned car did not match a description
of the one that fled the earlier Maple
Avenue incident
No keys were found in the abandoned
car and it had not been reported as a stolen
vehicle. A registration check showed it
registered to a Fresno resident
Two witnesses of the Cedar and Barstow
crash described the driver • to police
investigators as a causasian male in his
60s, wearing red attire, according to a
Fresno Police Department report Both
• witnesses- said they could identify the
driver if they saw him again.

Melikian should think, not react before
thinking.
Mr. Melikian is obviously dis¬
playing his selfishness on the views he
wishes to be printed. He connotes that
the "feminist art show" is absurd.
Negative point after ridicule, after
disapproval, is what Mr. Melikian
represents. Of course, various letters
will respond to his irrationally worded,
unmerciful criticism. Mr. Melikian is a
man with his idea and he has a right to
state his thoughts through any form of
communication. However, if he is
brutal in his attack, he should face the
brunts of response.
As long as he wastes his reactionary
mmamm
scorn,    Mr.    Melikian's    energy    will
become extinct

Feeling better?
Dear Editor.
This message is for Ed Melikian:
Get well soon.
Sincerely,
