ASO Activities
By Armen Aghishian
Staff Writer
With the commencement of the new
Fall 1991 school semester, the Armenian
Students Organization (ASO) began its
event-filled schedule of events. Spearheading the 91-92 school year are the
newly elected ASO executive members:
Khatchig Jingirian, President; Armen
Aghishian, Vice President; Pam Manoogian, Secretary; Arpi Ajamian, Treasurer; and Phil Garo, Historian.
The first event of the new semester,
held on September 5, was a general meet-
ingatRoundTablePizza. Questionnaires,
as well as membership forms, were distributed in order to not only recruit more
members, but to also acquire some input
into how to improve and expand the organization and gain closer ties to the members.
The ASO held its second general
meeting on Thursday October 10 at
Popolos Pizza. Upcoming events were
discussed.
On Sunday, October 13, the ASO
sponsored a "free" picnic held at CSU
Fresno's O'Neill Park. Over 40 students
attended the event. Khatchig Jingirian
served as "cook" - with other members
assisting.
On Sunday, October 20, the ASO in
conjunction with the ASP sponsored a
lecture given by California Congressman
Richard Lehman at Holy Trinity Armenian Church. Congressman Lehman has
longstanding ties with the Armenian
people, most recently witnessing the referendum vote in Armenia.
On Thursday, November 7, the ASO
held its third general meeting - this time on
campus. The revamped constitution was
discussed and plans for the future Christmas party were hammered out
From the week of December 7-14, an
"Earthquake Rememberence" will be on
display at CSU Fresno in the Harry Madden Library. The gripping series of pictures portray the harsh realities of the December 7,1988 earthquake. Students are
encouraged to see the pictures and "spread
the word."
On Saturday, December 7, the ASO
kept up with its tradition by celebrating
Christmas with a potluck style get together at Tanya Alikian's house. A gift
exchange made the evening quite interesting.
Many more exciting events are currently being planned for the next semester
and all members are encouraged to participate.

The following question was asked to CSU Fresno students:
Which stereotype of Armenians irks you the most and why?
Jonna Mechigian
Age: 21 Major: Psychology
"I don't particularly care for the stereotype that suggests that all
Armenians have big noses. As an Armenian, I have found that my nose
is fairly small compared to other people.
Gina Sislian
Age: 18
"It really bothers me that people repeatedly say that all Armenians have attitude problems."
Jason Shirinian
Age: 18 Major: Business
"The stereotype that all Armenians are cheap because the way
I've been brought up, I have never seen a cheap Armenian."
Katie Babigian
Age: 18
"I feel that there are many stereotypes of Armenians. Two that
really irk me however are that all Armenians have big noses and that all
they are is hair and nose."
Gina Jamgochian
Age: 19 Major: Business
"I don't like the stereotype suggesting that we are minorities."
Marshall Moushigian
Age: 21 Major: Business
"I guess it would be that all Armenians have big noses. It
doesn't really irk me, though, because it distinguishes Armenians from
"odars" in many cases."
Lori Garabedian
Age: 19
"One stereotype that bothers me is that Armenian women are
unattractive - that they have big noses, and that they have lots of facial
hair."
