Atamian Earlier this spring, CSUF's Armenian Alumni Association sent out a questionnaire/survey to some CSUF Armenian-Americans to determine how the Armenian Studies Program can serve them better and vice-versa. The responses were encouraging in attitude and support, if not in quantity. The 11 questions on the mailing probed the concerns of the program, such as the need for more services, more courses, and general comments and suggestions. Some questions asked the individual what she or he could do for the program, such as provide field trips to packing houses, bakeries, museums, churches, agricultural facilities, etc., or delivering lectures. Other queries sought demonstrators, exhibits, or lecturers in the areas of literary readings, Armenian costumes, customs and heritage, sewing and baking, and other "Hye home economics." Material for the Armenian oral history project was solicited in the form of participation and interviews of first generation Americans of Armenian descent. Donations were sought for the establishment of an Armenian Stydies Program room on the CSUF campus due to the extremely crowded state that the Armenian studies office is in at present. Financial assistance for students in Armenian Studies courses was also sought, as in the form of scholarships. One respondent offered assistance in the legal field. Another offered the use of a one-half-hour slide show about William CTOnnBMOJTTE! We have no subscription rate. We have few advertisements. We try to serve many. If you appreciate this service to the CSUF campus, if you are of Armenian descent, if you feel that a culture should be passed on for future generations and for the enrichment and benefit of all, contribute to Hye Sharzhoom with money or advertising. We operate with very limited resources. Thank you very much. By contnbuting to Hye Sharzhoom you have helped to promote a legacy of cultural awareness that the Armenian and non-Armenian sectors of our student body at CSUF, our nation, and our world so desperately need. Saroyan. Others offered books and Armenian clothing forfexhibits. In the area of assistance that the program could provide, suggestions included holding Armenian classes in outlying communities as extension classes, adjustment for displaced persons of Armenian descent, and courses in history at night. One person suggested that the contributions of women, as those of men, be given adequate coverage within the context of the Armenian Studies courses taught at the university. Another respondent had a quite specific suggestion: to "get rid of the Hye that was responsible for the signs plastered all over town." The respondent said that this "backlash" hurt the Armenians, and that the individual was reputed to have been associated with the Armenian Studies Program of CSUF. The project and correspondence for the survey was handled by Florence Artenian and the Armenian Alumni Association of CSUF. At the Cabaret FRESNO "Come to the Cabaret" was the request of the CSU, Fresno, Armenian Alumni Association for the evening of Thursday, May 12. The Armenian Alumni Association (AAA) bought out the house at CSUF's John Wright Theatre for a special benefit performance of the Tony Award-winnning musical on May 12. Aside from offering a night of superb drama, the alumni group put together a photographic exhibit by one of California's leading artists. The exhibit/reception began at 7 p.m., and the curtain went up at 8:15 p.m. The CSUF Armenian Alumni Association was formed in 1980 to bring together Armenian graduates of the university and promote the Armenian heritage through the campus' Armenian Studies Program. Among its long-range goals, the group plans to pursue the establishment of an Armenian studies resource center at CSUF. The organization also intends to bolster its role as a liaison between the Armenian Studies Program and the San Joaquin Valley Armenian community. AAA members enjoy the wide range of privileges that accompanies membership in the general CSUF Alumni Association. The AAA claims the distinction of being the first constituent group of the general alumni body. Proceeds from the benefit performance will allow the AAA to broaden its service to the university. Theatre-goers were greeted by the photography of Hannah Barsam in the lobby of the John Wright Theatre. More than 30 color landscapes capturing the beauty of Yosemite Valley and other California sites were on display. Barsam also donated a piece of artwork for a pre- curtain raffle. There's ABit Of Armenia In The Bvcific Northwest. Nearly sixty years ago, Mark Balaba- nian and Armen Tertsagian settled in the orchard country of eastern Washington, where the fugged moun tains, fruitful earth, and clear dry air of the We na tehee Valley recalled their Armenian homeland. Amon their memories was'rahatlacom," the sweet, soft, rose and lemon confection they had loved as children. The two men decided to recreate that memory using the apples and apricots of their new home, and spent" many hours in the kitchen searching for the right recipe. Aplets And Cotlets. Delicious Gifts That Bring Warm Memories. Aplets and Codets are made today from the same recipe that Armen and Mark perfected in 1920; a blend of fresh fruit juices and purees, walnuts, and powdered sugar-with no preservatives or artificial flavors. Grapelets- TheTradition Continues. Inspired by rojig," another Armenian confection, descen dants of the Balabanian and Tertsagian families have more recendy created Grapelets, using the original recipe in concert with the sweet and tangy juices of the Concord grape. Over the years, our confections have become favorite holiday gifts on the West Coast, a family tradition even to those with no Armenian heritage.

The one other Armenian I met in Helena, Tony Jewett who directs a statewide citizen political campaign effort, has never mentioned to Bernie that he is Armenian. I had to wonder at the time: is this party . a sacrilege? But I concluded that it is not. Bernie and the other sponsors do it, they say, for fun, which impartial observers say it is. There is certainly nothing else going on in Helena to bring an awareness of Armenians to people there. The event has forced Bernie to learn something about his heritage, which he might not otherwise do. Lacking any real Armenians, he has created some out of thin air, and everyone seems to have a good time. In San Francisco or Boston it would be out of place, but in the rural northern states it is acceptable, and it is even an imaginative consciousness-raising event about Armenians for non-Armenians. Or at least it will be next year after I convince him to add some substance to the fun, now that people are warmed up to the idea. In 14 nights in Montana I only found Bernie, Tony and one full-blooded Armenian, though I later learned that the 1944 survey identified 35 Armenians in Montana, mostly in White Fish, where I did not go, and Helena. Rick Chilingarian is a 25-year-old Boston native. He was the sportscaster the last five years for KRTV in Great Falls, Montana. He was the last Armenian I talked to for seven states after leaving Montana (North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, and Iowa.) Ted Nace is a minister in Dickinson, North Dakota with the United Church of Christ. At one time he taught in Beirut where he knew Armenians. But he did not know of any in North Dakota, and went so far as to say that Armenians have steered clear of the freezing climates of the northern states since they are so unlike the homeland. The 200 Armenian households in Minnesota were to later conclusively prove him wrong about the climate factor. Nace's opinion about the lack of Armenians in the state seemed to be reinforced by a newspaper article about William Sherman. Sherman has spent a decade researching the ethnic origins of North Dakota's people, and is publishing a 150-page atlas now and is one author of a five-volume book to be published on the state's centennial in 1989 on their immigrant heritage. The article does not mention Armenians, but for any of you wishing to pop the Armenian Ques tion to him, he teaches at North Dakota State University in Fargo and is a priest at St. Michael's Catholic Church. The Tash- jian survey indicated 80 Armenians in North Dakota in 1944, mostly in West Fargo and Jamestown. As I pondered the fact that Armenians are few and far between in these states, I tried to identify the things that did attract Armenians to an area. Will Armenians not settle in places without certain significant cultural resources in the arts and economic characteristics? Perhaps they prefer to stay near other Armenians. Of all of the cold climate areas I visited in primarily rural states, Minneapolis-St. Paul had by far the greatest cultural life and technical industry. I decided that there are as many answers to this question as there are Armenians.
