Extractions: By CYNTHIA FUREY For about an hour a day, KABC-TV anchorman David Ono has to put on his serious face while reaching millions of people in the Los Angeles area who want the local news. But off camera, in between working on stories and reading the news, it's no-holds barred for the man who knows that all work and little play can make for a dull person. "My job as a role model is to drink a whole lot and avoid any responsibility," said Ono, jokingly. "No, really, I always believe that you just have to do your job. As a member of the media and as a person who's known, you do have to act responsibly. You're not going to be a bad person, because eventually, that*s going to catch up with you. But it doesn't mean you can't have your fun." Ono launched his career in Dallas at KXAS-TV, at KOSA-TV in Odessa, Texas and at KDBC-TV in El Paso - all after graduating from the Universtiy of North Texas. In 1993, he made his big move to California, where he started in Sacramento at KOVR-TV. It was during this time he became involved in the Asian American Journalists Association.

Extractions: The Import Racing Phenomenon in the Epicenter of California, USA It started as a joke, to write a research paper on "rice rockets" for my graduate seminar class while I was at Stanford. I mean why not? My professor was so old, he couldn't care less what we wrote about. I've seen the Asian guys and girls hanging out at AMC Mercado Movie Theaters in Sunnyvale and In-N-Out Burgers in Milpitas with their souped up Honda's and Integra's. Being from LA, I knew something about "Imports" but never did I imagine that the Import scene could be so deep. So what started as a joke developed into my master's thesis. Who would have ever thought that you could get away with writing about Import cars for your master's thesis at Stanford? This article is a small part of my thesis. I present the Import scene as a unique Asian American youth subculture. I bring out the ways in which "Asianness" is asserted-a claim to Asian influence and origin of the Import subculture. My interpretation of the Import scene comes from hanging out with a specific car team in the Bay Area, which I will keep anonymous. I also attended many of the Import car shows in both Los Angeles and the Bay Area and visited many of the related websites. It is important to look at the Import subculture, made up predominantly of Asian American (including Pacific Islander) males from 16-25 year of age in a larger context of youth culture in the United States. The act of modifying the look and performance of the car has a long history in American culture. You have your white males and their "hot rodders," who modify, race and drive American cars (or "muscle cars") such as Mustangs, Chevrolets, and Impalas. You also have Latino males with their "low riders." This Import subculture shared among many Asian American youths may be viewed as an extension of a larger, male dominated, car-based cultural phenomenon. Yet, the members of the Import scene will argue that it is uniquely Asian in its origin and influence.

Extractions: Photo: Glenn Pike Doug Clarke, Yves Yacinthe and Salvatore Genovese were once again recognized as the best interlibrary loan department in New England. t's the type of job that is largely unknown to the general university community. But Northeastern's interlibrary loan department is making a name for itself nevertheless. The three-man office this summer was honored for the second time in three years as the InterLibrary Loan Department of Year by the New England Library Network, or Nelinet. "This is indicative of the dedication and team effort that this group puts forward," said library dean Alan Benenfeld. The staff - Salvatore Genovese, Yves Yacinthe and Douglas Clarke - was chosen for the honor by its peers from about 500 libraries that use Nelinet. "It's very gratifying, because this is one of the few pieces of feedback we have with the libraries we work with," Genovese said. The department, which exchanges books, articles and various documents with other libraries, fields most of its requests through an on-line service. "That makes it tough to gauge how people feel about our service," Genovese said. "This shows that they do appreciate our work." The interlibrary loan staff won the same honor in 1993-94. Paul Champion , chair of physics, delivered a lecture, "Real Time Observation of Heme Protein Vibrations Using Femtosecond Coherence Spectroscopy," at the Gordon Conference on Vibrational Spectroscopy in Henniker, N.H.
