companion and welcome critic,
and Karen Deorian was a never
complaining and always delightful
workhorse. The camaraderie
was special and some of those
friendships endure to this day.
In what ways has Hye
Sharzhoom changed since your
time as editor?
From a production standpoint,
technology has changed
everything. Gone are the days of
the typesetting machine, pulling
strips of special photographic
paper from an expensive washing
machine-sized contraption and
then cutting and pasting it all
together on a lighted board. Back
then we had to be draftsmen as
well as journalists! Computer
programs today allow for more
creativity, better graphics,
greater flexibility, easier editing.
Substantively, many factors have
influenced its content-the growth
of the Armenian Studies Program,
the independence of Armenia, a
larger, more diverse, and more
involved Armenian student body,
and of course, the availability of
information with the advent of
the internet.
In your opinion, what does it
take to be an effective editor?
Vision. The editor should
give balance to Hye Sharzhoom
by presenting various aspects of
the Armenian community, both
on campus and off, to make the
newspaper appealing to a greater
audience. Strong writing. The
newspaper should reflect the
language competence, analysis
and elements of style that are to
be expected of college students.
Poor grammar is inexcusable and
lackluster prose will bore and
disappoint the reader. Ability to
delegate. To focus on her duties
as an editor, she must be able
to bring the talents of many
individuals together and allow
their energy to be reflected in the
publication.
One final note: I have followed
Hye Sharzhoom's evolution since
my time there. Year after year, the
editors and staff put together an
excellent newspaper in which the
Fresno community should take
great pride. You have done an
outstanding job of showcasing the
successes of the ASP and ASO,
keeping up with current events,
and presenting the richness of our
culture and heritage. I am very
encouraged with the activism and
energy of the Armenian students
at Fresno State. Keep up the good
work!

edition of Hye Sharzhoom.

The Life and Times of Kara Dervish"

Mashtots Professor of Armenian Studies, Harvard University
Kara Darvish (Hakob Genjian) was an
Armenian Futurist poet who lived and
worked mainly in Tiflis, Georgia, before and after World War I. He wrote
several novels and manifestoes, but is
best known for the "postcard" poems
he distributed at cafes and outside cinemas which proclaim his cosmopolitan
and revolutionary credo and experiment
with odd typefaces and experiment with
incantatory nonsense words in Armenian, dipping also into the Armenian mythological past.
