Snow in the I 960s, but between two quite different sciences: archeology and the technology ofremote sensing from space. After two days of deciphering each other' s arcane language, the archeologists managed to recogni ze how theirneeds could be met in part by the new technology's capabilities. The result was a plan for using space radar to advance the study of one of th e world ' s most magnificent archeological sites, the Khmer temples of Angkor in the remote jungle of northern Cambodia. The archeolo gists hope that a detailed ana lysis of radar pictures, taken of th e Angkor region by an American space sh uttle last October, will open th eir eyes to more ruins hidden in the jungle and will give them a better und erstandin g of the total environment that supported this sacred and admini strative capital of the Khmer civilizat ion from the 9th throu gh the 13th centuries. Man y of th e pal aces, temples, moats and waterworks were constructed at the time Europe was building its great cathedrals. " I came here mildly curious, and a little skeptical, " said Dr. Elizabeth Moor, a University of London archeologi st who is directing excavations at Angkor. "Now I' m quite excited. This is a new methodology. We can develop new research goals and new ways of looking at the site." Scientist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasaden a, Cal if. , where the imaging radar system was developed, came away from th eir encounter with archeologist with a greater awareness th at th eir technology has more potential uses, and eager users, than they had originally conceived. The primary purpose of th e experimental flights by th e National Aeronautics and Space Administration was to test the radar' s abi lity to monitor natural and human-induces environmental changes taking place on Earth. Dr. Diane L. Evans, chief scienti st of the radar project, promised to supply the archeologists with the raw data from which th e radar images were produced and adv ise them on how to filter and ana lyze the data to extract information not immediately obvious in the pictures. If a proposal for another shuttle flight with the radar is approved, she said, the needs of archeologists working at many places around the world would be carefully considered. Until now, the application of space imaging radar to archeology has been an afterthought. "There has been sort of a language and idea barrier between the radar people and their users," said Dr. Pamela Logan, science director of the China Exploration and Research Society in Altadena, Calif., which will be using the technology to search for ruins along the legendary Silk Road in the desert of northwestern China. The meeting, held at Princeton University, was the first formal attempt to bridge the gap between these two sciences. It was organized by the World Monuments Fund in New York City, which specializes in the conservation of architectural monuments, and the Roy al Angkor Foundation of Budapest, which conducts research at the Cambodian site. The J. M. Kaplan Fund, a New York philanthropy, supported the meeting as part of its new effo rts of encourage the application of new technologies to archeo logy. Interest in exploring the ruins of Angkor, covering 125 square miles, has increased after an interruption of two decades caused by warfare and civil strife. Some of the temples of brick, sandstone and limestone have fallen into disrepair, some being overgrown by jungle vines. Looting has occurred, and gunfire can still be heard in the hinterlands. The danger of land mines makes large areas inaccessible. Archeologists suspect that these areas contain evidence of settlements where the builders of the temples lives and also clues to prehi storic occupation, perhaps go ing back to 5000 B.C. More than 60 prehistoric mounds have already been identified, and villagers often dig up stone tools, but few of the mounds have been scientifically excavated. The centerpiece of the conference was the blowup of a color picture, which NASA scientists had just processed from radar data gathered in a shuttle pass over Southeast Asia. Targeting Angko r had been a last minute addition to the mission, after an official of the World Monuments Fu nd read a newspaper account and sent an urgent req uest to NASA. Huddling around the picture, arch eo logists saw all th e old fami li ar places. There was the principal temple complex, Angkor Wat, as a large green rectangle. It was surrounded by a moat in strai ght black lines. Dr. Moore pointed to Preah Ko, a cluster of ninth-century palaces 5 that to her "contai ns evidence of th e moment of change with the introduction of Indian culture" by the Khmer kings. Dark rectangles denoted the large reservoirs that some archeologists think were reflecting pools to accentuate the temple splendors, as well as sources of water for the people and for rice cultivation. A landscape architect could make out the courses of ancient rivers, now dry, and other geological features that could be important in understandin g regional development. "Angkor is all about water," said John H. Stuffs, program directorofthe World Monuments Fund. " It seems to be of paramount importance to understand the old hydrological systems, if they are to be properly restored. Water in th e old moats separated the outer world from those sacred precincts. And waterways were probably necessary to bring in the limestone for construction." Some of the archeologists came to the meeting with unrealistic expectation. No, Dr. Evans said, the radar could not directl y expose the presence of buried temple ruins. In deserts, the microwave signals can penetrate th e arid sand to depths of 15 feet, which has revealed ancient ri verbeds and apparent art ifacts in the Egyptian desert. But radar does not penetrate moist so ils, although surface textures and variations in vegetation record ed in the images could provide clue to where something is buried, especially if the images are analyzed in conjunction with aeri al or space remote-sensing surveys in visible and infrared light The space imaging radar system, tested on two shuttle missions last year, transmits pulses of mi crowave energy in three different wavelengths toward Earth and measures the strength and time delay of th e energy that is scattered back to the antenna. The returning signals can be read in ways to sho w th e shape and nature of the surface. A composite of the data is used to produce photograph-like images of the terrain and structures on it.

This requires not only a vast knowledge, but vision and imagination to move forward in the making of a culture. Therefore, if we believe ourselves to be leaders, and regardless of whatever field our experti se belongs to, or whatever political tendency we may associate with, we must center our energies on the reconstruction of this broken cu ltu ral center, and on the formation of a "modern" Khmer culture. We will be best served by opening ou rselves up to learn culture from a WORLD VI EW, and certainly we must understand fully the cu ltural activities of our immediate neighbors. Otherwise, we will continually run the risk of getting caught in the trap of " cu ltural coloni zation" over and over again. Khmer culture has flourished and receded many times throughout her history. This fluctuation in prosperity and in government has helped to bring about a series of changes within the culture over the centuries. In add ition, different ethnic gro ups have become influential at different times and there has been a broad scope of interaction with the peoples of other nations. Cultural richness is a kind of measurement of the happiness and harmony of a people. Each time it is lost, there is a national need to rebuild it. The people begin to restore, to preserve and to recollect the past, and moreover, they begin to develop a " new" tradition . This was seen to occur after the decline of the glorious Angkor Wat period . The outpouring of creative energy which came forth at this time is often referred to as a "rebirth" of the culture. In order to create a " modern" culture, we must first modernize the minds of our people and educate our children to see beyond the boundaries of the Khmer nation. After all, boundaries are continually changi ng anyway . About 2,000 years ago, the people of Kauk Th loak, an area which was }pproximately in the southwestern part of Cambodia, l:lecame a well-known cultural center which was in touch with other thriving cultures. The Chinese referred to this place as Fou Nan, and recorded its cultural diversity, invention and adv anced fa. cilities. Perhaps because of their seaport city of 0 Keo they were a center for commercial trade, _ and most importantly, a place where intercultural exchanges could take place. But, it should be pointed out that the people of Kauk Thloak or Fou Nan, had their own indigenous culture, and had a strong enough identity to counter-balance with the various commercial and cultural influences. Was this a " modern" culture which was begun by the people of Kauk Th loak? And what about the culture which thrived one thousand years later at Angkor? And more recently, did we really succeed in implementing intercultural elements in our curriculum structure in the study of world culture, after obtaining independence from the colonial French? Were we successful in our " open-door" mentality during the Democratic Kampuchea regime? And what happened to Buddhism during the reign of this regime? Were the people and our culture recognized properly at this time? The questions are essential to our healing as a nation, and necessary if we are to avert the repetition of the same miscalculations. We can now wonder what might have happened had we employed some Khmer futurologists, political scientists o r cultural leaders to foresee what has recently transpired in Eastern Europe. George Crumb, an eminent American composer, ~aid, " ... there are more people who see culture evo lvi g i~ ti.le: form of a spiral rather then in the form of an evo- ( · •. lution along a single line. " Well-known anthro- ll" polog ist May Ebihara, when addressing the issue of preserving "traditional" elements of Khmer culture at a conference in Washington, D.C. in 1985, stated : " One must also recognize that Khmer culture cannot be conceived of as someth ing frozen in amber like some fo ssil." And, when addressing the issue of Asian traditions at a conference in Hong Kong, composer/scholar Chou Wen-Chung said, " We must not think of it as quiescent water in a self-contained lake, whose immobile beauty inspires memories of the past and admiration for what has been created. No, let us see Asian esthetics as a flowing stream, which pushes forward irreversibly in constant response to an ever-changing environment and in eternal search for the future and in which the past lives in the present." Each time after the Khmer people have suffered some kind of cultural downfall , there has been a period when the people have exercised creativity and imagination to restore and to in vent new fo rms of tradition . Once again the Khmer people are beginning to interact with forei gn cultures, even before the nation is stabilized politically or economically. Khmer culture and education will now find new inspiration and energy from many sources both inside and outside its boundaries. We must develop a Khmer cu lture both withou t accepting everything from past traditions or abandoning it. The modern Khmer culture can be a tool to unify and harmonize a wou nded people, regardless of individual political tendencies, or past traumatic memories, just as it has happened throughout our stormy hi story. Once and for all , we must support a culture that belongs to our people and the future generations to come, at any cost. C ultural strength is something that all Khmer people are proud of, and something which has no boundaries in time, in economics, or in politics. Jfwe will be willing to stand on the other side of a " closed-door" mentality, we w ill succeed in developing a " modern" Khmer culture that includes everyone. For example, many of our vi llagers recogni ze and participate in the Khmer culture with much more sophi stication than many of our intellectuals, educators, arti sts o r politicians. We will successfully lead our own people on ly once we have succeeded in recognizing and in- However, we will have to go beyond the search for a thorough knowledge of the Khmer culture, and consequently the search for an " identity". Simply put, once one finds his or her identity, what is next? Our present position and attitude should include responsibility for the future generations and its culture. Again, we must direct ourselves toward the development of an educated Khmer people. This will be well worth o ur energies. How should this education take place? Cultivating the knowledge and interest in Khmer culture does not require that reinventi on of what had been created in the past. On the contrary, much of the effort ------------------8 �would go toward creating within mediums wh ich exist in the current and interacting with cultural elements which include the rest of the world . A modern Khmer culture wi ll be a part of a global vi llage, regardless of ideological pluralism. It will be important to strive for a curricu lum that is neither Khmer-centric, Euro-centric, America-centric, and so on. The implementation of the arts, religion and humanities should be a strong part of the curriculum, whi ch together with the sciences and technology can propel the Khmer nation into a truly " modern" culture relatively soon . There must be a balance between cultural education and knowledge and techno logical expertise. This will provide the youth ofour nation with a peaceful co nn ection to the rest of the world, and a basis on which individual economic strength can build. If a nation is strong on ly from a military or economic point of view, erosion wi ll eventuall y take places, as has been seen on this peninsula, and in other parts of the wor ld . The culture is a human invention which nurtures and feeds our people on both physical levels as well as spiritual ones. A nation which can sustain a state of prolonged unity through its cul ture, and not through a set of imported ideologies, will survive many changes and traumas we ll . If leaders insist on ignoring their nation ' s cu lture and the cu ltures of the world, they wi ll not succeed in obtaining the cooperation and support of their people. It is our cu ltural hi sto ry which defi nes us, which makes us timeless and which makes all people a world fami ly. The Khmer peop le have a strong need to find brotherhood and sisterhood with their own people and others around them once agai n. Making a com mitment to education in the arts and humanities will help to remind us all how much beauty and harmony exists w ithin us. At the turn of this century, the great French scu lptor, Auguste Rodin saw a performance by the Royal Khmer dance troupe when it visited France. He was deeply moved by the performance and said: "The Cambodians have given us everything that the past holds; their own past whi ch is equal to our own. We have li ved three days out of three thousand years ago. It is impossible to see human nature brought to such perfection. It was so only amo ng they and the Greeks." By Chinary Ung, D.M.A .

BayBank has loan officers who speak Russian , Spanish, Cam bodian, Portuguese and Vietnamese. BayBank said it is also working on making its automatic teller machines bilingual and will soon have Spanish on the screens. BancBoston Mortgaged Corp. said it has been actively recruiting bilingual loan officers and has on staff those who speak Spanish. Creole, Haitian, Cantonese, Portuguese and Polish, said Marian Sullivan, senior vice president ofresidential lending. It conducts seminars with interpreters and actively advertises those on foreign-language radio stations. It has materials on home buying in Spanish and Chinese. BancBoston said it has made its underwriting criteria more flexible in an effort to obtain more first-time buyers, and since immigrants are often first-time buyers, these guidelines benefit them , too. For example, it has changed qualifying ratios to 33 / 38, meaning a mortgage payment can be 33 percent of one ' s income and all debt can be 38 percent of income. It has also reduced the application fee to $125 from $350. Fleet Financial Group said its multilingual staff can speak Spanish, Chinese, Italian and Hatian. It offers home-buying seminars in churches statewide, realizing that many immigrants form roots in their new communities by identifying with their church , said Meg Pier, a Fleet spokeswoman.

Consumers are encouraged to attend a home-buying counseling course and upon completion, are eligible for below-market-rate mortgages, said Martha J. Vaananen, spokeswoman at MHFA. Call for updates course schedules. Simplifying Home Buying for Immigrants by Mary Sit, BOSTON GLOBE Staff Although foreign-born newcomers to America are becoming home owner's at a faster rate than US-born Latinos or blacks, barriers still exist for many who speak English as a second language . A recent study by the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies showed that immigrants between the ages of25 and 34 more than double their rate of home ownership- 54.9 percent owned homes in 1990, up from 24 .2 percent in 1980 .. Still , a recent national housing survey by the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) indicated that immigrants - more than native-born residents - feel the frustration of navigating through the confusing maze of house buying. Thirty-five percent of immigrants said " not knowing how to get started" was a barrier to home ownership, compared to 25 percent in the main sample ofrespondents. And immigrants were almost twice as likely to consider " discrimination or other social barriers" as deterrents to buying a house . The Clinton administration ' s nation housing strategy also acknowledges that language and cultural barriers can hinder home ownership. The US Department of lenders, mortgage insurers and home counseling agencies to increase home ownership . It has suggested that its counseling courses include information aimed at new immigrants, bilingual materials and diverse employees. Local lenders and nonprofit housing groups say they are beginning to recognize the importance ofreaching immigrants, a growing pool of potential home buyers. Here's an overview of what some are doing. Leaders. The Mortgage Bankers Association, which represents 2,600 members in real estate finance , said it is taking steps to encourage home ownership among minorities and immigrants . Its strategy includes: - Producing materials on cultural sensitivity and diversity training materials for mortgage lenders. - Promoting minority recruitment within the industry. - Encouraging the creation of minority-owned mortgage firms . - Distributing Spanish-language brochures on mortgage lending. - Working with HUD, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to make sure underwriting guidelines are more flexible and reflect cultural differences. BayBank Mortgage Corp. has produced home-buying brochures in six languages and conducts home-buying seminars every week during spring and fall selling seasons, said Roberta Sydney, senior vice president of BayBank Mortgage Corp. " We are very aware that these immigrant groups are growing in Massachusetts, and therefore are important groups to us . We ' ve covered the gamut in terms of the immigrant population that exist and are growing," said Sydney, adding Roboim 1,alok {c oconut shell danccl .

DIFFERENT INSURANCE COMPANIES 16 �Here are some of the rights guaranteed fo r all people in the US : The ri ght to freedom of speech, religion and press; the ri ght to a peace ful march; the ri ght to a fair judgment in the cou rt of laws ; and the right to eq ual educati on. With these ri ghts guaranteed immi grants and legal residents still have fewer rights than th at of a citizens. The Lowe ll Cambod ian constituents are cu rrentl y lacki ng the voting power needed to demand changes fo r the improvement of the city government. We, as Cambodians, must help to increase the number of reo istered voters if we are to have an impact on local, state and federal govern~1ent at all. The research o f last election on Cambodian voter turnout was more th an disappointing . It is very sad for me to say but the road fo r us to make the Lowell city government a re fl ective of our Cambodian population seems long and bumpy. It 1 up to us to change that. And we must start now! s It is so ironic that we, as Cambodi ans, after having been denied the ri ght to vote or be a part of our government fo r more than two decades in Cambodia, that when we have the freedom to do so in this country, we still remain shy and distance ourselves from any government participations. Illegal and legal aliens are the targets of criticism of today's social problems. The recent anti-immigrant and anti-minority sentiments have stirred a lot of attention for all of us. The proposed bill s to cut or e liminate social programs for legal aliens in the US is very di sturbing for us and fo r our immigrant communities. Lowell is a Cambodi an community and it is also an immigrant community; therefo re, the new laws currently under debate do concern us. The Lowell Cambodi an community needs government programs to support our refugee and immigrant population . The cuts will certainl y make our people suffer more. There are certain things we can do to slow down or stop what government is doing now and maintain these programs and services for our community . THE IMPORTANCE OF CITI ZENSH IP Do yo u know and understand the ri ghts and privil eges of a US res ident or a c itizen? The Uni ted States Constituti on guarantees many ri ghts and privileges fo r all people from all different ethni c and nati onaliti es, so long as they are residi ng on US soil. There are certain ri ghts th at are guaranteed for immigrants and other legal res idents. The other special category of rights are reserved for citi zens of this country. It is very important th at we recognize these special ri ghts. Most of our fellow Southeast Asians, particularly Cambodi ans, arrived in thi s country under the status of immigrants or refugees. We ' ve departed from our homeland to escape war and political persecuti on. Each and everyone o f us trul y crav in g fo r freedom and democracy . When we settl ed in this country, we wanted the same thing as other groups of immigrants or Americans. We seek and want the oppo rtunity to achi eve the so-call ed " American Dream". In the US, Cambodians were scattered all over the states as part of their resettl ement plan in thi s new land . For a long peri od o f time, people lost contact with one another. Bi ological family members were living thousands of mil es apart from each oth er, neighbors and family friends from the camps were no longer able to see each other to chat or consult, and unaccompanied minors were placed wi th Ameri can families and being raised as Americans. Durin g thi s important time, many of us begin to recognize th at the Kluner identity is beg inning to slip away . Identity crisis started to surface. T o initi ate a sense of pride and unity, Cambod ians started to network with each other thro ughout the United States and many o fus moved closer to our friends and families . Many of us just wanted to be closer to other Cambodians. Like other ethnic minorities living in the US , our gravi tati on toward our Cambod ian compatriots was a natural and comfo rting phenomena . Whether in Long Beach, Cali fo rnia, Providence, Rhode Island or Lowell , Massachusetts, Cambod ian co mmunities were sprouting up in large numbers and remain ali ve and well today. . A recent US census indicates that the Lowell Cambodi an popul ation is a bit over 18,500, with an equal number of families mov ing in as those who are movin g out. The number of Cambodians are almost a quarter of the total L_ well popul ation. With our large numbers, we should be able to stop the o city government from usi ng us as doormat fo r their political agenda. We must get involved. Cambodi ans are peopl e with a proud and unique heritage . Our culture and language must be maintained and preserved but at the same time, we must be civicall y responsi bl e as a US res ident or citizen. In order for us to be able to fully participate in the main stream American soc iety, first we must take the respons ibility of becoming an American citizen. It does not matter much how many Cambodians are living in Lowell : 10,000, 20,000 or half a million. Neither does it really matter how loud we can scream or curse among ourselves for the lack of services or because we don ' t like the new laws being proposed by Co ngress or state leg islature. Without the ci tizenship and the voting power, one cannot demand changes from hi s/her own government. Bei ng a US citi zen means many things to many peopl e. Voting, however, 1 the most common facto r fo r people wanting to be an American citis zen. Other ri ghts of citizens are the ri ght to travel in foreign countries with the American passport and if anythin g happen to you, the US government is responsibl e to get you back. Sponsoring relatives from one's native country is a_nother ri ght of a c iti zen. Many Cambodi ans are interested in sponsoring the ir loved ones from Cambodia; without citi ze nship one cannot do that. C iti zens of this w untry are abl e to obtain a federal or state government job; illegal or legal altens cannot. But the most recognizable and awesome power of all guaranteed by the US Constitution fo r a citi zen is the power to cast his/ her vote during elections. This ri ght is the foundation of the term "government by the peopl e". Immi grants and other legal residents are granted with certain alienable ri~hts under the laws. These ri ghts and privileges are protected by the Bill of Ri ghts (the first 10 Amendments ) of the United States Constitutions so that people can live and work in harmony. The two categori es of res idents, immigrant and legal resident however, does permit to have a voice in the government. But thi s does not mean that they have the ri ght to vote. I. We have to become more active in our community- make ourse lves visib le to the general popul ation (white majority) whenever issues arise th at concern us and our community. 2. Become an American citizen- if yo u' re not yet a citizen, reg ister fo r a citi zenship class; or if your need to poli sh yo ur English ski ll s, sign up for English as a second language (ESL) classes at the CMAA or at the Adu lt Learning Center. 3. Reg ister to vote. This is the most important thing one of us can do fo r our community in times of drastic changes in governmental policy. To sum it up, each and everyone of us Cambodian-Ameri can must make every effo rt to go out and vote during election, local, state, or nati onal. To ass ist Cambodi ans in the Merrimack Valley to become an American citizen, the Cambodian-American Voter League (CA VL) si nce it was establi shed in 1990, in cooperation with the CMAA have been ab le to provide citizenship classes to assistant our fellow Cambodians to become citizens. We will continue to provide this needed services for man y years to co me. The Cambod ian-Ameri can Voter League consists of all volunteers members and Board of Directors. We believe that our community is the fou ndati on of our culture and heritage . Community activism is our strength toward the progress o f our peopl e. We truly would like to encourage Cambodi ans to become American citizens. Currently, we have citizenship classes being conducted at the CMAA on every Saturday from IO A. M. to 12 P.M. Our community needs Cambodians to be citizens. Please stop by and sign up fo r classes. We can make the city of Lowell a better place to work and live. by Chuck Sari, Cambodian-America11 Voter League (CA Vl ) 17 �busy this quarter.

T he current goal of the M R WC is to teach the Cambodi an communi ty environm ental practi ces that have a direct impact on their dail y li ves. Issues of co ntinued contamin ati o n of the Merrimack River and its watershed need to be taug ht. T here are dangers in eatin g fi sh from the Merri mack Ri ver and its watershed even th o ug h they loo k fin e! Rebecca Markey, an Environmental Co nsultant from th e MR WC meets w ith a g roup of pee r leaders at the C MAA once to three times weekl y. T he peer leaders, incl ud ing Samoeun Sok, Ya Uy, Roath Ven, So phan Sok, Salin Nuth, C han Pen, Peuo T uy and Robin Douangchack are hi gh schoo l stu dents chosen to represent thei r communi ty fo r the outstand ing exampl e they prov ide. They, along w ith Buntha Path , a rep resentati ve from the CMAA and emp loyee of the Watershed, meet with Rebecca to increase their understand ing of local co mmunity invo lvement w ith g lo bal ram ifi catio ns. T he course of study invo lves river and watershed protecti on, waste water treat ment, safe household cleane rs, tree planting, organic gardening and w ildli fe protecti o n. T hu s fa r, th e peer leaders and environmental educators have planted three large o rn amenta l trees, ten ro se bushes and approx imately th irty pine seedlin gs at the temple in North Chelmsfo rd. T he seed lings were planted to provi de a screen and prevent so il eros ion o n th e hill side. Ted Diers, the Co un cil s Co mmuni ty Watershed Program Coordinator wants to teach the Cambodi an community how to become better stewards of the river, enjoy a greater qu ality o f li fe and protect themselves, as we ll as their enviro nm ent, from possible health ri sks. A survey w ill be compiled later thi s year to determine the level of enviro nmental knowledge o f the Cambodi an co mmunity in Lowe ll. If yo u are asked lo participate, please respo nd positi ve ly, as the result s w ill foc us o n areas for future work . Would you like g reater civic in vo lvement w ithin the c ity o f Lowe ll?
