Paga 2/October 13,1981 -Dally Collegian Armenian exhibit brings culture to campus By Peter Scott Staff Writer An exhibit of Armenian architecture, said to be 'die most complete of its kind,* is currently on display In the CSUF Phebe Conley Art Gallery. The exhibit features the works of Armenian architects from the 4th to the 18th oen- tury. The Armenian Students Organization is responsible for bringing the display to CSUF. Funding for the exhibit came largely from a grant provided by the Associated Students. Other sponsors included the Armenian Alumni Association of CSUF and the United Armenian Commemorative Committee. Large photographs of Armenian churches placed on huge cubicles have been arranged throughout the gallery. Accompanying many of the photographs 'Many Armenians who see the exhibit are more confused..' are diagrams depicting the different structures and their varying architectural designs CSUF professor Dickran Kouymjian played a large part in bringing the exhibit to Fresno and, along with a gallery director Bill Minschew, was responsible for its current arrangement. The photographs are displayed in order of the structure's geographical areas. According to Kouymjian, one of the major purposes of the exhibit and the way it has been put together is "to present the audience an exhibit that gives the sense of i**y\g with the structures. This is done by such methods as placing pictures of ceilings high above the viewer and using cubicles to give a three- dimensional image, he said. Another intention of having the exhibit here, Kouymjian said, is to give Armenians living in the valley an opportunity to see t' ;ir culture. "There are Armenians in this valley who have been uprooted from the Ar menian environment for three or four generations since the Armenian "Genocide," Kouymjian said. 'Many Armenians who see the exhibit are more confused than non-Armenian- viewers because they have preconceived ideas of what Armenian culture is all about.' The exhibit was developed by a team of Italian and Armenian architectural historians in Milan, Italy. It has already been shown in France, Belgium, Portugal, Austria, Germany, Lebanon, Iran, Argentina and Italy. The exhibit came to the United States as a result of a joint effort of several university Armenian programs, including the CSUF group. According to the gallery booklet written by Kouymjian, the exhibit 'has been acclaimed throughout the world as a model of its kind, bringing to a western public a comprehensive view of the church architecture of an eastern Christian people, the first to accept Christianity as a state religion in the early 4th century. Perhaps one of the most vital intentions of the exhibit is to bring about an awareness of the decaying conditions of the ancient churches in Turkish Armenia. "The structures in Turkish Armenia are failing apart," said Kouymjian. "The people there are not only not taking care of the buildings, they are destroying them," hesaid. While the churches in Soviet Armenia and those outside the Turkish boundaries seem to be somewhat well preserved, those in Turkish Armenia are seen to be crumbling and, in many cases, near total destruction, he said Kouymjian said in many cases the Turkish people have attempted to destroy any signs of Armenian occupation since their mass executions and expelling of the Armenian people. An international organization, UNESCO, protects church monuments in many countries. The organization is unable to do this in Turkey, however, due to the government's refusal there Kouymjian said the hope is that enough pressure will be put on the govern ment to have something done about the situation. According to Kouymjian, as well as a number of additional sources familiar with Armenian architecture, Armenian architecture was the first form of architecture to acquire a unique national style. Armenian architecture had already perfected its various and complex forms by the 7th century, he said. The exhibit will be on display until Oct. 27 at the gallery, which is located between the Joyal Administration Building and the New Science Building.

Door to door solicitors create problems in the dorms By Peter Scott Staff Writer "Oh no, that guy's back again," said the RA (resident advisor) on duty at the Commons Hall desk. *l thought we told him not to come around here again.' The RA got on the telephone im- mediatefy to notify campus security officers. What was taking place was not exactly a crime, but was against dormitory rules and was definitely a nuisance to those who I ive there. Almost from the day the CSUF Housing Office opened the halls to students, there have been people around who see the area as a prime spot to peddle their goods and solicit their information or beliefs. Door-to-door salesmen and religious solicitors are not allowed in the dorms, but seem to appear everyyear. When asked later, the RA who spotted the salesman said that such ac tivity is frequent and most often a warning is not enough to keep the people away. Housing Director John Wetzel opposes door-to-door selling or soliciting in the dormitories and points out that it is not permitted. 'We do not allow door-to-door solicitation in the halls,' said Wetzel. He said it is not a big problem but it 'is always there * 'Students as a group are quite identifiable with certain products on the market and these salesmen see them as a profitable source,' said Wetzel. 'Items like Tupperware, glassware and magazines are common products of these unwelcome door-to-door salesmen.' Another area of concern to Wetzel is the door-to-door soliciting of religious materials. The Housing Office has the same policy concerning these groups. 'Our rules apply to religious groups soliciting in the halls,' said Wetzel. 'We provide tables for them to present New scholarship established by Delta Nu Alpha chapter A $250 scholarship for a student majoring in transportation and physical distribution management has been established at CSUF by the Fresno Chapter of Delta Nu Alpha, the professional transportation society. The application deadline is Thursday, Oct. 15 wfth the grant to be awarded by Nov. 30 to a student enrolled for 12 or more units each semester during the 1961-82 academic year. Dr. Skip Sherwood, CSUF professor of management and marketing, said the scholarship will be given on the basis of grade point average, motivation and leadership potential, and letters of recommendation. Applicants for the annual award also must be declared transportation and physical distribution management majors in the CSUF School of Business and Administrative Sciences. For further information and applications, contact Sherwood at 294-2215 or in Room 115 of San Ramon Building Five. Applications also are available in Room 125 of the McKee Fisk (Business) Building. their materials, but they can't go door- to-door. * The sales pitches of the door-to- door solicitors are often high powered and 'semi-con' tactics are even used in pushing the goods. Salesmen from dishware companies frequent the dormitories offering 'free mugs' and drawings for vacations to Las Vegas and other exciting vacation spots. The specifications of what is paid for and what is not are often left vague. ■ Many of these salesmen can get away with their activities because of certain clauses in the Housing Office's rules. 'We do allow solicitors if they arrange a meeting that will be done entirely in a person's room,* said Wetzel. "The meeting must be arranged earlier. Our policy here is that if there are any solicitors it is on an invitation basis only." Wetzel told of two 'salesmen* who approached him two weeks ago with *a great deal for students.' 'I had two guys approach me with a 'special deal.' They said they just happened to have 70 extra 54-piece glass sets,' said Wetzel. They wanted to know if they could sell the glass sets before they went horn to the Bay Area for the weekend,' said W_tzel. "I said no way.' 'It (door-to-door soliciting) happens every year,' said Wetzel. 'No matter hov. hard we try, the most aggressive ones always seem to come bade.' In past years courts have determined that hallways in dormitories are public areas and people should be allowed to walk through them if they are not causing a disturbance, said Wetzel. He added that although this has been established, the courts maintain that the halls are private enough far the Housing Office to make judgments on the activities that occur within the halls and the materials that appear on the bulletin boards in the halls. ' 'Some schools, Penn State is a good example, will not allow a salesman to sell a student an item unless he is in that student's own room,' said Wetzel. This means that even if the salesman has permission to meet in a student's room, he or she must leave to go to any other student's room who does not live there to sell an item. It is the Housing Office's responsibility to see that students are not subject to 'high pressure' sales pitches, said Wetzel. Weekend class offered in Oct. A weekend course on 'Introduction to Farm Appraisal' will be offered Oct. 23-24 through the Division of Extended Education at CSUF. Dr. Thorhas Cunn, a CSUF professor of agricultural economics, will conduct the class from 4 to 10 p.m. Friday, Oct. 23 and from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 24, in Room 115 of the CSUF Agriculture Building. Tuition isS43. The one-unit class will cover basic farm appraisal principles with application to California farms and is designed for persons with little or no background in agricultural appraisal. Participants will appraise local farm' properties including vineyard and open ground using market data, cost and income valuation approaches. A short field trip will be taken Saturday to look at a farm. For further information, contact the CSUF Division of Extended Education at 294-2549. », Dally Collegian-October 13,1M1 /PageS Civil rights activist lashes out at Reagan Civil rights activist Ann Fagen Cinger, in a CU speech Friday, lashed out at the Reagan Administration for making war 'thinkable.' 'Why is it,* Cinger said, 'that the one part (the defense budget) of the economy that must not be cut is the one that could destroy us all? 'That is the crisis in our society,' the Berkeley lawyer told a sparse CU lounge crowd that gathered to hear her noontime talk on defending civil rights. Cinger, the president and founder of the Meiklejohn Civil Liberties Institute, urged students to 'exercise the rights your forefathers and foremothers fought for.* This can be done, she said, by fighting the 'racism, sexism' and other problems that plague modern American society. Thes*. problems, along with the negative effects of the McCarthy era and the Cold War, have cheated students of 'your heritage,' she said. Cinger also encouraged students to study economics because, 'It matters what you think. *l think Karl Marx is boring,' she said, explaining her own experience with the study of economic theory. But she said that her research into economic history has taught her that 'liberty must be tied to economic security.* Cinger said that government programs like the endangered Social Security system help provide some of that security. 'Even Ronald Reagan, in the height of his stupidity, was smart enough...not to wipe out Social Security,* she said, referring to the president's current stance favoring the preservation of the financial ly troubled program. Cinger also defended affirmative action programs, saying that America's white, male-dominated society has proved that 'you don't know how to do it." Affirmative programs help lift the white man's burden of running society, she said. And if a man is passed over in an affirmative action hiring process, then it will prove 'character building,'Cinger said. Ginger's speech was sponsored by several campus organizations including the Department of Women's Studies, and the Students for Economic Democracy. She appeared Friday night at the Ted Wills Community Center far another presentation dealing with civil rights. Overseas program helps students explore options By Diane Drury Design Editor Not everybody loves to travel. But Teresa Kos is definitely 'one of those people.' She had to be, in order to get along during her year with the Overseas International Program in Denmark. 'You have to be open, willing to go over there and willing to accept everything," said the petite blonde. A business major, Kos was looking for an option. And Denmark provided one. With a major in international business, Kos believes her ventures provided her with a better cultural perspective. The trip has changed her ideas about her own country, "tt'sbecome much more positive,' she said. But the trip to Denmark not only provided Kos with a year of education and the European experience, it provided her with a job, when she returned. Kos now works for CSUF In the International Student Counseling office. Her boss, Rita Bawanan understands the travel bug. Bowanan, once a CSUF student, spent a year on the OIP in Mexico. And she agrees with Teresa' s opinions. 'When you have the opportunity to look at what you're used to, you appreciate it more. You don' t realize it till you leave,* she said. But both agree the experience is worthwhile. 'If I had the chance to do it again,' said Kos, 'I'd go tomorrow. I'd be on the plane,' she said. And it' s that enthusiasm whkh . helps the ladies in their job—that of helping to encourage other students who are bit by the travel bug and looking for an'option'to consider the OIP. The OIP Is the official academic program of the California State University and Colleges system. It offers students the chance to live with families or in schools in Brazil, Denmark, France, Germany, Israel, Italy Quebec, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru. Republic of China, Spain and Sweden. Requirements include enrollment at a CSUC campus, cumulative grade point average of 2.75 in most programs (with the exceptions of several which require 3.0), upper division standing and two years of college level foreign language study. The participant pays current home campus fees, transportation, Irving expenses and incidentals. Estimated costs for the program range from $3,405 for Mexico to $7,435 far Denmark. According to Bawanan, financial aid can be received during the program. The counseling office fas slated four slide presentations for interested students to view. A ten-minute slide presentation will be shown continuously Wednesday, Oct. 28 from noon to 2 p.m. in CU 308; Thursday, Oct. 29,11:30a.m. to 12:30p.m. InCU 308; Tuesday, Nov. 3,11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.ln CU 213; and Wednesday, Nov. 4, noon to 2 p.m. in CU 314.

The exhibit features the works of Armenian architects from the 4th to the 18th oen- tury. The Armenian Students Organization is responsible for bringing the display to CSUF. Funding for the exhibit came largely from a grant provided by the Associated Students. Other sponsors included the Armenian Alumni Association of CSUF and the United Armenian Commemorative Committee. Large photographs of Armenian churches placed on huge cubicles have been arranged throughout the gallery. Accompanying many of the photographs 'Many Armenians who see the exhibit are more confused..' are diagrams depicting the different structures and their varying architectural designs CSUF professor Dickran Kouymjian played a large part in bringing the exhibit to Fresno and, along with a gallery director Bill Minschew, was responsible for its current arrangement. The photographs are displayed in order of the structure's geographical areas. According to Kouymjian, one of the major purposes of the exhibit and the way it has been put together is "to present the audience an exhibit that gives the sense of i**y\g with the structures. This is done by such methods as placing pictures of ceilings high above the viewer and using cubicles to give a three- dimensional image, he said. Another intention of having the exhibit here, Kouymjian said, is to give Armenians living in the valley an opportunity to see t' ;ir culture. "There are Armenians in this valley who have been uprooted from the Ar menian environment for three or four generations since the Armenian "Genocide," Kouymjian said. 'Many Armenians who see the exhibit are more confused than non-Armenian- viewers because they have preconceived ideas of what Armenian culture is all about.' The exhibit was developed by a team of Italian and Armenian architectural historians in Milan, Italy. It has already been shown in France, Belgium, Portugal, Austria, Germany, Lebanon, Iran, Argentina and Italy. The exhibit came to the United States as a result of a joint effort of several university Armenian programs, including the CSUF group. According to the gallery booklet written by Kouymjian, the exhibit 'has been acclaimed throughout the world as a model of its kind, bringing to a western public a comprehensive view of the church architecture of an eastern Christian people, the first to accept Christianity as a state religion in the early 4th century.

It is the Housing Office's responsibility to see that students are not subject to 'high pressure' sales pitches, said Wetzel. Weekend class offered in Oct. A weekend course on 'Introduction to Farm Appraisal' will be offered Oct. 23-24 through the Division of Extended Education at CSUF.

She appeared Friday night at the Ted Wills Community Center far another presentation dealing with civil rights. Overseas program helps students explore options By Diane Drury Design Editor Not everybody loves to travel. But Teresa Kos is definitely 'one of those people.' She had to be, in order to get along during her year with the Overseas International Program in Denmark. 'You have to be open, willing to go over there and willing to accept everything," said the petite blonde. A business major, Kos was looking for an option. And Denmark provided one. With a major in international business, Kos believes her ventures provided her with a better cultural perspective. The trip has changed her ideas about her own country, "tt'sbecome much more positive,' she said. But the trip to Denmark not only provided Kos with a year of education and the European experience, it provided her with a job, when she returned. Kos now works for CSUF In the International Student Counseling office. Her boss, Rita Bawanan understands the travel bug. Bowanan, once a CSUF student, spent a year on the OIP in Mexico. And she agrees with Teresa' s opinions. 'When you have the opportunity to look at what you're used to, you appreciate it more. You don' t realize it till you leave,* she said. But both agree the experience is worthwhile. 'If I had the chance to do it again,' said Kos, 'I'd go tomorrow. I'd be on the plane,' she said.
