Glasnost tested by Armenians
By Lois Henry
Staff Writer
Glasnost is being put to a tea by the people of the
Armenian Republic, who held massive demonsiratiofis.
strikes and school boycotts last week in a show of support for the annexation of Karabagh.
The protests were centered in Yerevan, capital of the
Soviet Armenian Republic.
An estimated 200,000 people gathered Wednesday in
from of the Yerevan opera house to demand a meeting
of the parliament to address the question of Karabagh.
The demonstrations ended Saturday, only to be resumed
Wednesday.
Professor Barlow Der Murgrdechian, acting director
of CSUFs Armenian Studies program, said in a press
conference Monday the recent protests are die largest reported demonstrations in Soviet Armenia.
He said the reasons for the widespread demortstratioris
are unclear, but with the newfound freedom offered by
Glasnost, Armenians are now able to openly discuss issues. He added for the last six to seven months
Armenian newspapers have been addressing the question
of Karabagh.
What the Soviet Union will do about the various
nationalities under its domain is seen by Der Murgr-
dechian as the most pressing question Soviet Union
General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev is now facing.
In a prepared statement, Der Murgrdechian noted the
protests were a man i f csiaiion of ethnic, historic and geographic ties which bind the region of Karabagh to
Armenia. Karabagh was given to Soviet Azerbaijan, a
sister Soviet state with strong Turkish ties, by Josef
Stalin in 1923.
Der Murgrdechian stated Armenian diaspora, Armenians dispersed throughout the world, joined in the
call for a resolution on the Karabagh issue. He said the
diaspora also want resolutions of related issues such as
the right of Armenians to return to their occupied lands
in Armenia and restitution from the government of
Turkey for lives and lands lost as a result of the Armenian genocide by the Ottoman Turks.
Trifc statement demanded "the legitimate concerns of
the Armenian people must be met"
Der Murgrdechian added that his biggest fear about
the demonstrations was that the Soviet government
might misinterpret the protests as being anti-Soviet,
which he assured were directed solely at the Karabagh
annexation issue.
Karabagh is a mountainous region located just inside
the Azerbaijan border, about 1,700 sq. miles with a
population of approximately 170,000 of whom 80

Coe named Professor of the Year
By Linn Nguyen
Stag Writer
After 22 years of service, William C.
Coe has been named Outstanding Professor for 1988 at CSUF and will be the
campus nominee for statewide honors
later tins spring.
William C. Coe
Coe, along with 19 candidaies from the
California State University system, will
be considered by the Board of Trustees for
the Outstanding Professor of the Year
award presented annually to two faculty
members in the system.
Coe's candicacy in this year's state
competition is a result of his hard work
and contribution to this school, according
to Dr. Alex Gonzalez, chairman of the
Psychology department. He along with
other faculty colleagues, got together to
write letters of endorsement for Coe.
Gonzalez supported Coe because he believes lhat Coe is one of the most
productive members in the school. He
said, "It was very easy for me to nominate him because for me. he is an
outstanding member and a positive role
model. He works extremely hard and is
respected by his colleagues."
Gonzalez continued with his praises by
pointing out that Coe has held important
positions with the American Psychology
Association as well as having been honored by the APA as a fellow. Coe has
also contributed important works and
research to the history of psychology, behavior modification and hypnosis.
Coe said his family is happy thai he is
receiving the honor and he echoed the
same sentiment. "I feel very pleased. I
feel like after 22 years of hard work I'm
finally getting recogruzed."
For a person who has spent most of
his life teaching what he now loves, one
would assume that his earlier ambitions
would include psychology. But it didn't.
In fact, Coe attended different universities
and held different jobs before deciding thai
teaching psychology would be a part of
his life.
A native of Hanford, Coe graduated
from Hanford High School in 1948 wiih
honors. He then attended Stanford Univer--
sity for two years before joining the Air
Force during the Korean War.
Ii was his admiration for his father and
jet airplanes lhat gave him tbe incentives
to join the Air Force. He was awarded the
Distinguished Hying Cross and the Air
Medal with one oak-leaf cluster for his
performance in the Korean War. He said,
"My father was a fighter pilot in World
War I and II so I joined and during the
Korean War 1 flew jet airplanes."
After ihe war, Coe decided on attending
the University of California at Davis
where he received his bachelor's degree
with highest honors in General Agriculture.
From there he worked in the heavy
equipment business for three years, which
he said was physically exhausting, and in
the process almost wrecked him and his
marriage.
It was the realization that he needed
help that made him come to Fresno where
he sought psychiatric help and was eventually motivated to go back to school, this
time for a degree in psychology.
"[The psychiatrist] was wondering why
I didn't do something different because I
was articulate and smart...and ] was
wondering why he was getting paid all
this money for one hour's work," recalled
Coe,
He then decided to devote all his time
to studying and making it a "full-time
job." He attended CSUF for one year in
which he finished all his undergraduate
work. He received a Ph.D. in psychology
for clinical study in record time from ihe
University of California at Berkeley in
the two and a half years.
