Faculty survey shows 27% have been physically threatened

By Ropati Hebenstreit

Over one-fourth of the faculty at KCC reported situationsinvolvingphysical threats and a significant number of faculty, at least occasionally, are in potentially violent situ­ations, a KCC Faculty Senate survey of 126 members found.

HCC responded to a duplicate poll on their campus and the results were similar to those at KCC. Overall, 31 percent of HCC faculty reported being threatened compared to 27 percent at KCC.

Almost one third of the respondents at KCC had personally experienced a physical threat. Of those threatened 87 percent of the incidents involved students, 3 percent fac­ulty and 10 percent involved non-students, non-faculty on campus.

The survey also showed that 88 percent of the faculty felt that the campus is a safe place

Some of the comments raised were no visible security lights, insufficient security and lighting in the vicinity of Bldg. 933 and 923, street persons on campus frightening students, screaming and using foul lan­guage, threatening messages on voice mail, having to get tO their car in a deserted park­ing lot with a carload of people drinking, threats of broken limbs because a student couldn't learn chemistry and a male wan­dering around campus in the early morning hours following students into classrooms and handing out old news papers.

The Faculty Senate's report recom­mended that teachers at KCC should receive periodic updating on how to handle/defuse threatening situations and reduce the likeli­hood of becoming actual victims of vio­lence.

Chad Ikei wins big, breaks three records

By Lauren Hayashi

Chad Ikei broke three world records at the 14th Annual World Record Breakers . Powerlifting Meet on March 5. He lifted 390 lbs. on the squat event and 292 at the bench, breaking two teen world records. His cumulative total was llOllbs., giving him a third world record.

The meet started around 8 p.m. and went on past midnight. "It was a tiring meet,'' Ikei said. He said things were rushed, and it was hard to warm up in the back room. The 18-year-old KCC student was disappointed with his performance; he had hoped to bench 308 lbs, deadlift 451lbs., and reach a cumulative total . of 1171lbs.

On the squat event, Ikei opened with 363 lbs, then lifted 390 lbs, but missed 401lbs. He benched 292 lbs, then tried 308 lbs,

which he missed. "That'smybestlift, too," Ikei said. "I can't believe I missed that one." In the deadlift event, Ikei lifted 418 lbs, but missed 446 lbs twice.

Ikei first started lifting weights in eighth grade; by ninth grade he was lifting every day. At 5'2" "I never liked being called 'small," he explains.

Now, Ikei wor~ out six days a week. "It's fun. I guess I'm in love with the sport. It keeps me busy and relieves stress," he says. "And it makes you feel good about yourself when you accomplish your goals."

Ikei is starting Olympic lift training with the help of Tommy Kono, a former Olym.;. pic gold medalist Ikei's present goal is to go to th~ Olympic Festival, place first there, then qualify for the Olympics.

"I'm not sure which year," he laughs. "But soon, I hope."

Eligibility requirements to change for Student Congress officers

By Ropati Hebenstreit

KCC Student Congress voted to amend the constitution in a special meeting last week. After debating three recommenda­tions made by a committee reviewing the constitution, a third requirement, limiting access of office positions in the Student Congress by club presidents was dropped and two requirements were passed:

1. A cumulative GPA of at least a 2.0 at the time of election.

2. Have completed at least 12 credits at

this college or at another UH campus. The rationale behind these requirements

was, fli'St, that a student should be at least an average academic student in order toes­tablish credibility in the eyes of the stu­dents at KCC.

Secondly, the committee felt that the completion of 12 credits will qualify the candidate to accurately represent the stu­dents interests due to exposure to campus operations.

An open hearing is scheduled for March 24, 9 a.m. in Ohia Room 101.

Problem: Father takes little Kawika to the zoo. Kawika is especially attracted to the 1erce alligators who lie exposed in the shallow water of a circular moat The moat is 6 feet eep. In the center of the moat is a concerete island, which is exactly 11 feet from the outer ge of the moat Little Kawika gets out of hand and flings his teddy bear onto he island He · es his head off, so his Pa decides to do something about the situation. Scurrying around,

ather finds a 9 foot plank and a 10 foot plank, but nothing to tie or bind them together, and o nails either. However, with the aid of the pieces of wood, he somehow contrives a way

retrieve the teddy bear 11 feet away. How did he get the teddy bear?

Winner Name: Gilbert Chew.

Describe your thinking: The objective is to cross the moat without

being caught by the alligators. The moat is 6 feet deep, but "the alligators lie exposed in the shallow water" of the moat. This means that the moat is not filled with water. The alligators do not float, but lie on the bottom of the moat, if they floated they would not "lie exposed in the shallow water of the moat" There must be about three feet clear­ance above the range of the alligator's jaws.

The moat is 6 feet deep and 11 feet wide. We try to cross the moat using two pieces of wood: one 10 feet long, and another 9 feel long. Obviously, we cannot lay the 10 foot board across the 11 feet wide moat horizon-

tally, so we lay it diagonally, One side of the 10 foot board will touch the side of the moat where Kawika is standing and the other side of the ten foot board will touch the middle of the moat Next, we take the 9 foot board and place it so that it touches the 10 foot board

. and the side of the moat on which the teddy bear is lying. Now Papa can walk on the portions of the board that are above the range of the alligators. Thus, he can cross the moat safely.

Answer: Assumption: The board would not slip on

the bottom of the moat because it would be wedged into slime and slidge. Father puts the 10 foot board and the 9 foot board diagonal to the bottom of the shallow moat He steps on the parts of the wood that are out of the reach of the alligators and crosses the moat abOve the alligator.

Key to the Problem: The alligators lie exposed in the shallow

water. They might not reach above 3 feet fmm the bottom. The moat is not full of water but is shallow, leaving the alligators exposed. The moat is 6 feet deep. The moat is 11 feet wide. The wood pieces are 10 foot and 9 foot long.

Winner Name: Colette Honda

Describe your thinking: Obviously either of the two boards could

not be used to span the distance if used by themselves. The distance could not be short­enedand the boards could not be lengthened Therefore, there should be a method to combine the two without using nails or tools of any kind.

Answer: Assumption: The area's diameter was not

so great that the board could not sit on the curve of the outer edge. Place the shorter board 1. So that the middle is lying over the pond. Next, lay the 2nd board 2. on the middle of the board 1. and place the other end on the island.

Key to the problem: Distance and length of boards are given

and this is not a variable. Therefore there should be a way in which to place the two boards to reach the island.

Land use controversy over Diamond Head Information and letters compiled by Tiana Johnsen

The ongoing saga of the proposed film studio continues. It all began in 1974 when the State of Hawaii fl.I'St purchased the land from the federal government. Over the years theState has repeatedly promised KCC that theleases to different television production companies would be temporary, that the school could have the land back for its facilities. Now the University of Hawaii says KCC has no use for the property and has turned the site over to the State for a ftlm studio facility.

The State of Hawaii and various land departments, congressmen, senators, students, and the community disagree about the best use for the property.

The funds appropriated by the state to build a film studio on the comer of 18th A venue and Diamond Head Road will expire at the end of the summer. The state has stepped up its campaign to get approvals from the neighborhood boards and other agencies.

Below you will find a time line of events reflecting the ftlm studio controversy beginning in 1974.

Along with the time line is a reprint of a letter to the edito written by James Swain, a third generation cinematographer, which appeared in the March 1990 issue of the East Honolulu News. The second article is a transcript of an editorial by The Outdoor Circle, a 78 year old non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the beauty of Hawaii. It was aired on KHPR. Both are reprinted with the permission of the writers.

Anyonedesiring more information on this controversy or wishing to help oppose the building of a film studio at Diamond Head, call Mike Molloy at 734-9282.

Viewpoint ·on Diamond Head and film studio The Outdoor Circle has always been

concerned with the preservation of Diamond Head, the symbol of the land and people of Hawaii. What better time than now to show our love for Diamond Head by getting back to basics- The basic preservation of our state and national monument

The present controversy swirling around Diamond Head and its development as a permanent fllm studio has overlooked five major principles of public policy. To assure the preservation of Diamond Head, these principles must be addressed. What are they?

1. Diamond Head Special District Ordi­nance:

Legislative mandate since 1970 directs the city and county of Honolulu to protect Diamond Head through zoning controls for the wban lands surrounding the monument

2. Zoning: The city's land use zoning ordinance only permits motion picture and television production studios in limited and intensive industrial districts. There is good reason for this. · International film experts

delclare that the fllm industry is a manufac­turing process that by necessity involves construction, demolition, trucking and chemical processing. A permanent industy needs a film lab close by to develop what is shot daily. DothepeopleofHawaii want our Diamond Head Special District to become

halls, public schools and post offices. Again, a permanent fun studio is clearly excluded by this definition in city land use ordinances.

4. Precedent for preservation: Without a doubt, Diamond Head has been set aside as a special management area. The proposal to -expand a temporary film studio into a per-

"The proposal to expand a temporary film studio into a permanent one is inconsistent with the city general plan, school designation and residential zoning."

an industrial area? We don't think so. 3. Public use: According to the city's land

use ordinance: "public uses" must be those which are purely a function, activity or serv­ice of government. What's more, structures which are leased by government to private enterpreneurs are excluded from public use. Example of permitted structures for public use are libraries, base yards, satellite city

manent one is inconsistent with the· city general plan, school designation and re­sedential zoning. Ifs as if we're throwing out a 25-year history of commitment to pre­serving the uniqueness of Diamond Head when we overturn this precedent. .

5.Governor Ariyoshi 's declaration of the temporary nature of the Diamond Head film studio in 1982: According to this declaration

of public policy, the state would explore alternative sites for the location of a perma­nent fllm industry, until it fmds a site suitable for all parties.

The Outdoor Circle wishes to remind our community of the importance of these five principles of public policy. While we under­stand that the film industry want their indus­try close to Waikilci, we also need to remind the public of the costs of convienience and that certain principles are at stake here. We believe that sacrificing the lands surround­ing Diamond Head is too great a sacrifice for the people of Hawaii. Not just a local neigh­borhood issue, the preservation of Diamond Head is everyone's responsibility.

Let's take the time to think about these five principles. Preserving Diamond Head is the best possible gift to the land and people of Hawaii.

Using part of the KCC Campus is not the answrz to the movie lot problem. KCC is already two and one half years ahead of projected head count and will need the land itself for further growth. If the movie indus­try is granted the land it is _using on a perma­nent basis now, it could become at best the present location for a movie studio that can provide 3 stages for one show only.

Besides it only costs $27 a foot to build warehouse space at $100 a foot a stage 100 X 200; 50 feet high should only cost $2,000,000.

Those who reason that a location furthrz out will require too much time on the road are not realistic. In the Los Angeles area, it is not uncommon to drive 40 miles one way to the studio or location. There is really no place on the island that is too far. Every major studio in the Los Angeles area was built in the boonies, only to have homes, offices and stores grow right up around it

Zen calligraphy reveals .inner light

By Patrick Reagan

The Reverend Hosokawa Dogen Roshi, Abbot, Daihonzan Chozen-ji disliked reli-

- gion as a boy. By the time he finished college with a degree in electrical enginee~­ing he had decided to become a monk. As IS

cus~mary. he eventually succeeded his fa­ther as priest of Zuiko-ji, a Rinzai temple in the Hyogo Prefecture of Japan.

In 1974 Hosokawa Roshi began training as a Buddhist monk under the guidanCe of Zen master Omori Rotaishi, at the Setai-ji monastery in the Y amashi Prefecture. In 1987 HosokawaRoshi was invited to Hawaii by Tanouye Roshi to become the Shike (abbot) of the Chozen-ji temple. Tanouye Roshi then became theKancho(archbishop ), and Omori Rotaishi retired.

Hosokawa Roshi is now the Shike of Chozen-ji and the Zen master in charge of Zen training at the temple. He practices the style of calligraphy which ~as founded b.y Omori Rotaishi known as Hitsuzendo. Hi­tsuzendo emphasizes the energy. or /dai, which the calligrapher transmits to the ink. Zen training is a crucial element of Hitsu­zendo calligraphy. To qu~te Omori Roshi, "Hitsuzendo is the brush that absorbs and projects the practioner's state of mind; Zen is to function wholeheartedly in the present time and place, free of all smallness of mind; and Do is the Way of continuous practice. Unity of all three elements must be ob­tained."

A typical demonstration of Hitsuzendo begins with a bow. Omori Ro.taishi el~ rates ''The bow is more than JUSt showmg res~t towards the brush, ink and paper; it is a denial of self,aleapinto the Absolute ... What existed before the bow is no longer here, only Buddha is present."

Omori .Roshi's description continues, "After charging the brush with ink, breathe in as if you are inhaling heaven and earth while slowly raising the brush; this instant is known as konton kaiki. Konton kaiki is the place from which all things emerge, the place of our original face before our parents were born. The stroke originates and returns to knoton kaiki. When writings spring forth from the true konton kaiki the effect is dra­matic-Gochiku termed that quality "eter­nal energy" because it can be felt even in pieces of calligraphy hundr~ of y~ old."

"The clarity of the Bokld, the kun m the ink indicates the level of the artist's insight. BoW is not only seen with the eyes, it is sensed with the hara, the physical and spiri­tual center of one • s body. Bokld reveals the calligrapher's inner light When a Zen cal­ligrapher pours his or her spirit into each stroke, every line becomes a vibrant force. Zen and art are intricately related. Zen, the rejection of all limitations, is symbo~ by the Buddha, an entity free of all restrictions. Zen art is the expression of the · Buddha mind."

By Lynn Freeman

The American Samoan Community Col­lege Swing Choir will visit KCC to help kick off The International Festival and Confer­ence. This is the Swing Choir's second tour of Hawaii ,the last was in March 1986.

The tour, which is organized by their government, usually comprises shows at Sa-

. moan Churches and organizations. This year · there will be numerous occasions for the public to see their performances. Bob Engle, Director of the Maile Aloha Singers, feels hearing them is a must: "They are terrific, I'm really impressed with them."

Their show consists of four parts: Tradi­tional Samoan, Modern Samoan, American

P.opular, and Classical. The director of the choir is Bob Lewis .

The students in the choir are usually in­structors for their church choir which is a huge accomplishment considering the Sa­moan church choirs are usually 120 +(adult) members strong. Marly students also go on to get music degrees. The preferred school is UH Hilo because the atmosphere is similar to that in Samoa.

The chorus will be performing here at noon in the Ohia Cafe. They will also be at the East West Center on Wednesday, March 21 3 p.m. and 8 p.m., and at the Ala Moana Centerstageat lOam. Theirlastappearance here in Hawaii will be in Hilo at the Intercol­legate Choir Festival.

Beatrice Krauss, foremost authority I .

on Hawaiian plants to speak at noon By Marc Kalish

'The Plants ofHawaii'' will be the subject of a lecture by Beatrice Krauss Wednesday, noon in Ohia ·Auditorium. According to Krauss, who is considered the foremost au­thority on plants in Hawaii, the ancient Hawaiiansdependedalmostentirelyonplants for their survival. Food, clothing, shelter, tools and medicine were made entirely from plants and trees by the Hawaiians. In addi­tion plants and trees were used in religious ceremonies andalsotomake boats and homes. Plant life thoroghly permeated all facets of ancient Hawaiian life.

According to Krauss, the ancient Hawai­ian Kahuna or "Medicine Man" relied al­most entirely on plants to make his medi­cines. The Kahuna spent 15 years in training before he was actually allowed to practice medicine. During those 15 years he learned how different plants reacted in mixtures and how they affected people. "Today, there are no true 'Kahuna' surviving," Krauss said sadly. They have all been lost over the years.

However, there are people who still use many of the ancient concoctions today, in­cluding Krauss herself. Just recently mod­em science has begun to look to the remnants of this ancient knowledge in hopes of redis­covering these medicines.

On an agricultural level, the ancient Hawaiians were the most advanced fanners on the globe, according to Krauss. Although they were blessed with fertile soil, plentiful rain and sunshine, it was their agricultural methods that were exceptional. Many of these methods are still being used today. A

As a child of an agriculturalist in Hawaii, Krauss was exposed to plants at an early age. Throughout her childhood she was always fascinated by plant life. After re­ceiving her Bachelor's and Masters degrees from UHManoa, Krauss went into pine­apple research and experimentation.

After retirement, Krauss began to study ethnobotany in Hawaii. During the past 20 years, Krauss has been teaching and lectur­ing on the role and importance of plants in Hawaii and continues to do so today.

Rubilite Johnson to speak on Kumullipo, Hawaiian culture

By Dave Leffler

Rubilite Johnson author of the book ''Na . Inoa Hoku," and Hawaii's foremost author­ity on the "Kumullipo" (the ancient Hawai­ian creation chant composed of nearly 2000 lines) will be speaking here on campus in Ohia Auditorium, March 21 at noon.

The lecture will focus on Johnson's work on the "Kumullipo," and the recent rebirth of Hawaiian culture. ·

Ever since the first voyage of the Hoku­lea in 1975, there has been a rebirth of Hawaii history and culture throughout the state, and the ancient Kumullipo plays a major role in this rebirth.

The Kumullipo is the Hawaiian version

of how the world was created, and how eve­rything came into being as we know it It is the "Book of Genesis" for the Hawaiian people.

Throughout the centuries the Kumullipo has been passed on by each generation only through chant There has ~n no written ac­count, until now. Johnson has devoted most of her life to studying ~waiian language and culture.

Johnson, who was born on Kauai learned Hawaiian first from her family. "My grand­parents were from Puna, Niihau, and Molokai," she said. "I learned appreciation ofHawaiiana through them." Johnson earned her Bachelor's degree at the University of Hawaii.

A look at the Marshalls, Micronesia By Patrick Reagan

KCC instructor Dr. Louise Pagotto will give a brief talk on "Language Puzzles: origins of languages that do not seem to fit their geographic locations," Wednesday in Ohia Auditorium.

Dr. Pagotto first became interested in the South Pacific culture and language after spending more than four years on the island of Papua, New Guinea during the early 1970's. Her first two years were spent as a volunteer working with the Canadian equivalent of the Peace Corps. Mter a brief return home to Canada, she returned to New Guinea as a full time student.

Dr. Pagotto received her Ph .. D. in lin­guistics from from UH Manoa and special­izes as a grammar syntactician. Her specific area of interest is Marshallese, the official language of the Marshall Islands.

As a linguistics expert, Dr. Pagotto uses the vocabulary and sound systems of exist­ing languages and attempts to reconslruct languages that have been lost or of which no written records exist. Language systems can usually be traced back through history much life a family tree. Ideally this language tree would support accepted theories of .cultural migrations, but this is not always the case. Certain cultures like the Yap of the South Pacific seem to have no cultwal or linguistic relation to their geographic location. Dr. Pagotto will offer her theories on the Yap and other puzzling cultures.

Along with Dr. Pagotto, will be several

other experts on Micronesia and the Marshall Islands. Ishmael Lebehn, director of the Land Grant Program of the College of Mi­cronesia, will speak on Micronesian myths. Tony DeB rum, former Cabinet Minister for the Marshallese government, will talk about changing relations between the Marshall Islands and the United States. Alfred Capelle, who is the co-author with Tony DeBrum of the Marshal lese/ English Dictionary, will speak on Marshallese legends. Patrick Lang, an official from the Department of Educa­tion, will speak about education in the Marshall Islands.

Micronesia slide presentation looks at health concerns, culture By Paula F. Gillingham

A slide presentation about Micronesia · will be presented by RolandW. Clements

and Marcia L. Armstrong from the Allied Health Departinent here at KCC. They par­ticipated in a project funded by the United States Public Health Service through the University of Hawaii School ofPublic Health there. Through 1988 and 1989 they studied ways to provide short term technical training in five Paciftc Island Nations. ·

Clements heads the Radiology Technol­ogy Deparunent, and Armstrong is the Pro­gram Director of the Medical Laboratory Technician Program. Training in Radiology Technology, Laboratory Technology and Facility Maintenance were emphasized.

One of the places they visited was the Republic of Palau, an island nation in the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands. These

· ' islands are part of the Western Caroline Islands, and are furthest west of all the terri­tories. The Trust Territory itself encom­passes three million square miles, includes two thousand islands distributed over an ocean expanse the size of the continental U.S. The total land area of all the islands combined is equivalent to the area of Maui (730 square miles). Of the two thousand islands, only 130 are inhabited with a total population of 135,000.

When an educator travels to these geo­graphically remote areas, it is important that the curriculum developed is significant to that island, their situation and their particu­lar needs. An attitude of "help them to help themselves" is the most practical approach, Clements explained. The educator must ask himself: ''What do you want me to do for

you?" as opposed to "This is what I can (want) to do for you."

Palau, like other islands in the territory has its own folldoreandapproach to medical care. Witchcraft, magic, spirits, tabus and healers mixed with a heavy dose of Catholi­cism comprise their medical lore; and the local healer has considerable rank in the society. The visiting educator should be ac­cepting of the healer. That person may pro­vide a practical and therapeutic atmosphere to the villagers which may be conducive to their learning from him, Clements said.

Health care professionals that visit these islands need to be concerned with the social structure of the villagers and the clans in order to show respect and proper behavior. Micronesian men do not cry out in pain, as it is considered a sign of weakness, and the people in general do not complain about any ailments until they are seriously ill. It is therefore hard to diagnose diseases there, especially those that have been brought to their islands by the white man. Tubercu­olosis and other infectuous diseases are pre­ventable, except for the poor hygienic and sanitation conditions that harbor them. A high infant and maternity mortality rate, malnutrition and diabetes are common.

For the last forty years, the U.S. has been there subsidizing these people, but their efforts thus so far seem to be doing more harm than good, Clements said. Diet changes from fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh fish and chicken to canned goods (even tuna caught on their own shores, sent to the mainland for processing, and returned for consumption) have changed their diet into a '1unk food habit." There is little fresh water available for consumption, and the natives

have taken to drinking Budweiser as a liquid mainstay.

It appears that with the influx of these habits the natives, through no fault of thier own, are now dealing with high rates of juvenile delinquency, adolescent suicides, and alcohol abuse. Dependency upon U.S. subsidies has innocently created a despon­dency among the population. Many millions

· of dollars have been pumped into these is­lands but little effort has been attempted to guide the Palauans and other Micronesians towards self-dependency, self-efficiency or a positive attitude toward self -determina­tion.

There is a serious shortage in primary healthcare workers. Trained medical staff retire at a faster rate than replacement ~­sonnel can be generated. Lack of running water and sporadic electricity also contrib­utes to the inefftcencies of the medical care available.

These are obstacles that Clements and Armstrong hope to teach the islanders to overcome. By providing them with the education they need to help themselves, they will help create an appreciation for the new technology of the modern medical world Even if the old traditional habits and super­stitions remain, the standard of life will be improved.

The government leaders of Palau know that theirs is a strugglirig third world nation. Medical technology lags behind there and only recently has the U.S. been able to help them make progress in that area. With more programs such as these made available, the Palauans and other Micronesians will be able to provide for themselves the medical care that has up until now been deficient.

Fiery Sam Slom assails taxes By Alissa Coleman

Some of us are trying to do something about the recent tax increase proposal, Sam Slom told the audience last Monday, and he hopes that more people will take the initia­tivr. He is speaking out, hoping to eliminate economic illiteracy.

OneofHawaii's most outspoken business advocates, Slom said "Business is under atttack," here in Hawaii and we must do something abo·~·.· · it

The president of Small Business Hawaii was invited to speak Monday on campus about the general excise tax, the recent pro­posal for mass transit, business tax and the general business climate here in Hawaii.

"It is interesting what economic illiteracy does. The increase to 4 1(1 percent is not a 1(1 percent increase. It is a 12 1/2 percent increase," said Slom.

Slom said that the state of Hawaii is sitting on a state tax surplus, and the legisla­ture is proposing to increase the state tax even more.

"We are the. only state in the union that has a general excise tax, and if you don't learn anything else, learn that this tax has never been, is not now and never will be a sales tax." said Slom.

Slom explained that the general excise tax is really a gross income tax on every business transaction, every product, every service and every intennediary transacation that takes place.

"We are the only state in the union that has a general excise tax, ' and if you don't learn anything else, learn that this tax has never been, is not now and never will be a sales tax."

This is the only state in the union where you pay to get sick, and you pay to die," said Slom. This means that Hawaii, being a service economy, has been and will continue paying tax on top of tax on top of tax.

"Money Magazine has called Hawaii 'a tax hell." Mostly because we are the most taxed state in the union, we have the third highest per capita debt, we have the greatest increase in governmental spending and governmental intervention in the market place and in the community of any state in the union," said Slom.

Slom said that we have developed in Hawaii a situation where we are a no fault society. "If the kids cannot read, it is no­body's fault We have no fault abortion, no fault divorce, no fault auto insurance and no fault means that there is no responsibility," said Slom.

"I believe that every individual needs to be responsible for their own decisions, whether those decisions are right or wrong for them, or whether or not I would choose those decisions," he said.

Slom said that money is being taken out of the private sector. The cost of the state legislature is 30 percent more than it was last year. The argument presented by the govern­ment is that this is the cost of paradise.

"The business climate here in Hawaii is often confused with the beauty of the place. It must be realized that the business climate

is the taxes, unemployment compensation tax, workers compensation tax, prepaid health care, temporary disability tax, unioni­zation, and also the attitude between the businesses and the government and the com-munity ," said Slom. ·

''The problem is this is not paradise: we have been taxed for a long time, and we have not done anything about it," Slom said.

The rapid transit system and the increased tax will not solve any traffic problems, ac­cording to S lorn. He then asked the audience if they have seen the recent commercial now being played to promote the rapid transit system.

"The monorail that passes by is the monorail from Disneyland. I fmd it ironic that this is a Mickey Mouse system that is being promoted. Sure it is a neat concept, but as with the Bart system on the mainland,

people in general do not use it," said Slom. "The legislature is planning to first of all

raise the taxes and then try to hijack money from the federal government. The folks who are giving you this Mickey Mouse system are going to do a Mickey Mouse job because the minimum of construction time is six and a half years, and they will eliminate the bus system, except to use it to bring people down to the monorail. The monorail will be going in a very narrow quarter and will be trav­elling at 14 to 15 miles per hour, estimated by their own figures," said Slom.

Slom said that many people want this system for a variety of reasons, all of which make sense. They have their own arguments.

"We cannot blame these people, we must get mad at where these policies are coming from," said Slom.

There may be no end to the problems. However. Slom is still optimistic.

"We still have plenty of opportunities out there, we should all be . concerned about education. The leadership for educational change will come from business, because of all the things that have changed, the thing that has changed the l~t is government." said Slom. ·

Small Business Hawaii is trying to estab­lish leadership. He believes that the only way we are going to get ahead of these problems is to fmd people with special inter­ests who are willing to take a stand.

"Get invoived, do your homework and take a stand. Be consistent, live your life and live your beliefs based on what you believe . What you want as your special interest, for your future and for the future of Hawaii .. "

Students dance for rainforests By Ann M. Cabreros

Twelve KCC students are performing a dance called "Indefmitely Green" in Lee­wardCommunityCollege's5thAnnualMod­em Dance Festival, Saturday, March 3.

This is KCC' s third year of participating in the festival. Other schools involved are LCC, UH Manoa, and UH Hilo. Every year

, LCC hosts a special guest. This year's guest is David Landis, formerly of Mark Morris Dance Company.

"Indefinitely Green" makes an environ­mental statement about the destruction of the rain forests. KCC dance instructor Mimi Wisnowsky , who choreographed the piece, said, "Our environment is a vital part to our life, and we should be made aware of its misuse." She is directing the group and making the costumes.

The dancers are students from Wisnowski' s dance appreciation and begin­ning modem dance classes, fall and spring semesters. The students volunteered their time for the production and have been re­hearsing three to four hours per week since February. Some of the students have never participated in a dance production before. Thestudents are from Guam, Turlcey, Viet Nam and China as well as Hawaii.

The festival will be held atLCC theater at 8 p.m. Tickets are $4 for students.

College choirs head for~.~Hilo

- I ·· ByLynnFreeman ~. E Himeni Kakou, Hawaiian for "let's all

sing" is the theme of this years Intercolle­gate Choir Festival which will take place on Hilo from March 23-24.

The festival was founded in 1976 by Bob Engle, KCC music instructor and Maile Aloha Singers director. Six choirs from across Hawaii and one from Samoa will participate in this year's festival.

The festival started out at Kapiolani Bandstand with each choir singing a set, then everybody singing together. Over the years the festival has grown with seminars and conferences on topics such as, "Music Copyright." The festival this year will have a special emphasis on Samoan music.

Included are the Maile Aloha singers who raised the money to go from their Christmas performances. The festival is a non-competitive event. "The whole festival is fun. None of the colleges are in it for the competition," says Engle.

Mo betta slack em: ·a history of slack key ByDonAweau

Slack key guitar began in Hawaii in the early 1800's with the import of the guitar by the Spanish, Portuguese, and Mexican cowboys who were hired to help the Hawai­ians handle the overpopulation of cattle. Relaxation after dawn-to-dusk cattle drives included singing and the soothing strum­ming of guitars around the campfire.

As horses and cattle became an impor­tant part of island life, the paniolo (Hawai­ianized version of the word espanol mean­ing Spanish) became a familar sight From their peers, these Hawaiian cowboys learned how to ride, rope. and play the guitar.

When the cowboys left their guitars behind, the Hawaiians retuned or "slacked" the strings to suit their own music so it could be played in a solo style. Soon, the innova­tive islanders _were improvising on the in­strument. A unique Hawaiian form of gui­tar-playing known as slack key or kiho' alu wasfonned.

Slack key guitar is characterized by the use of complex hammer ons and pull offs, which mimic the yodels and falsettos com­mon in Hawaiian singing. What makes kiho' alu special is the technique of playing the melody on the higher pitched strings while playing an alternating bass line on the lower. This gives the music a richness and depth of tonal quality. All these techniques enhance the feeling of aloha, joy, or longing which the songs express. Sometimes all of these can be felt in the same song.

H music brings out the lifestyle of a culture, then slack key is the mirror of the Hawaiian people- open, warm, gentle, and receptive. Like American blues, it is a very flexible music and the players can play as tbcy feel each time.

Gabby Pahinui began recmting in 1947.

His influence and his prolific expansion of guitar techniques led toward the guitar being played and recognized more in Hawaii as a solo instrument In the older style, the guitar was mainly used to accompany songs, and the words were the most important thing. Pahinui was the prime influence for keeping slack key guitar from dying out Pahinui 's interpretation of the popular song "Hi 'ilawe". endures as a classic in Hawaiian slack key music.

In 1973, Raymond Kane bec8me the first performer to present an entire solo concert of slack key music. His perserverance in staying with a clean style of playing, instead of folloWing the mainstream trend of Ha­waiian music, led to national recognition.

In 1987, Kane, a retired shipyard worker at Pearl Harbor, became one of only 11 people in the nation to receive the National Heritage Fellowship Award The ceremony, held in Washington D.C., culminated a love affair with the guitar that was sparked in the 1930's when he was just nine years old.

Kane • s father had a fishing crew based at Nanakuli Beach on the leeward side of Oahu. One day Kane heard music coming from a tent on the beach. He asked who was play­ing and a Hawaiian man, a paniolo who used to work at a ranch in Makua, answered. The man lived on the beach and had no house. The next day. Kane asked him to teach him slack key, but the man was reluctant. So Kane struck up a deal with the man. He would catch fish and swap them for lessons. This is how his love for slack key began.

One day, in 1988, a boy came in to ask Kane to teach him. His name was Bobby Moderow. Now Moderow is an apprentice with a program run by the State Foundation of Culture and Arts. The program, headed by Lynn Martin, encourages young people to learn &om their elders.

Bobby Moderow plays his slack key with his mentor, Raymond Kane The two have been together since 1988.

The program gives Moderow and Kane money for travel and miscellaneous ex­penses such as guitar strings, ~uipment Kane and Moderow were recently recorded and interviewed by the program. Their work gave a perspective on the history and music of slack key andean be found in the National Archives in Washington D.C.

Moderow feels slack key is the standard on which all Hawaiian music is based and it is a unique style indigenous to Hawaii. The starkness of slack key. one man and one instrument, is what makes the music spe­cial ..

He has perfonned often for charity. the American Business Woman's Association and Honolulu Boy's Choir. Moderow was featured with Kane on the TV show Portraits

of Paradise, and he perfonned at the Slack Key Festival held at McCoy Pavilon held by the City & County of Honolulu.

Moderow began his musical experience at home, where Hawaiian music was always played. He also joined the Honolulu Boy Choir where he learned the mechanics of music and was exposed to an audience.His love for Hawaiian music led him to a stint with Melveen Leed and eventually to Kane.

His plans for the future include a docu­mentary of slack key and the life of Kane.

Moderow will be featmed along with MahinaKauakahi (Makaha Sons ofNi'ihau) on campus March 21. He hopes students will be there to enjoy the nahenahe (sweet) sound of kiho'alu and come away with an appreciation for it

500 join for music, aloha for the Aina By Susan Garrard

People of many different backgrounds and ages attended the Aloha Aina Concert, but what they all had in common was a concern for the environment and aloha for their aina.

The audience was subdued until the arri­val of the Pagan Babies, a nouveau reggae band, late in the afternoon. Their melodious beat got some in the audience to their feet Prior to their arrival, o.ther musicians fo­cused on music with a social message. It was reminiscent of concerts 'of the sixties sans the drugs and alcohol.

The Aloha Aina concert held last Satur­day from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. was sponsored by 30 different community organizations

who in some way focused on land issues. Five hundred concert goers came to An­drew's Amphitheater on the UH campus to listen to the music, visit the various commu­nity organization booths, listen to the speak­ers, and sign petitions for their favorite cause.

The Sandy Beach Initiative Coalition and the Protect Kaho'olawe Ohana groups were the main sponsors. The focus of these groups was the land, and the subject was presented from many perspectives. Subjects from Ha­waiian Sovereignty to protest against Geo­thennal development were touched on in sometime emotional pleas by the various guest speakers.

The overall impression created by the various community organizations was one of urgent need; that the Hawaii of the future,

Works to be presented include two tap dances: "Ain 'tMisbehavin "'to the music of Fats Waller and "Tapwater Suite," an a cappella number. Dancers include Jo Ayers, Cheryl Feagins, Peggy Heftel­Wilson,FabienneHerold,LucindaKeller, Violet Mangene, Mary Moscovic, Laura Ogasawara and Alexandra Trofka.

Rapoza-Johnson will dance two so-

los, one choreographed by Earnest Mor­gan to the music of Olomana ( "Ku 'u Home 0 Kahalu'u.") Rounding out the program will be a duet co-choreographed by Rapoza-Johnson and Darrell Sugita.

Rapoza-Johnson was born and raised in California, although her roots are in the islands. She began taking hula at age four. She moved on to musical theatre and eventually recieved a Bachelor of Arts in dance from San Jose State Uni­versity. She was a fo~ding member of Mobius Stageworks.

She has choreographed and per­fonned with Danceworks, Dances We Dance and Hawaii State Ballet. For more infonnation, call Karen Miyake at 734-4203.

if current trends persist, could be "a superfi­cially nice place to visit but no one could live here."

Initiative and the preservation of the land go hand in hand as they did at theAlohaAina Concert. Participants were encouraged to register to vote and sign petitions to attract the government's attention to various con­cerns. There was also a petition drive for the fonnation of a new political party called The Green Party. Their focus is on the environ­ment and other socially redeeming issues. Information on issues was readily available, and the groups' presentation of their causes showed the depth of their concern and their thorough research.

Photographs of the geothennal devel­opment at Puna Rainforest are quite star-

tling. These are the pictures not nonnally seen in the daily news: a huge deforested rectangle with a crane like drill looming in the center. The booth attendant infonned concert goers that this was the first of many rectangles on the Puna landscape that would eventually take the fonn of a huge honey­comb. This honeycomb effect would cut off pieces of the forest eventually resulting in a domino effect of extinction.

Many groups sported the preamble to the Hawaii State Constitution in their literature. The rights of the people to "control our destiny, nurture integrity and preserve the quality of life that we desire," was empha­sized by the Aloha Aina Concert It was a commitment to oontinue to protect the land and the rights of the people.

"Da Kine" acting is fine By Darryl Chinen Learning how to act is the lesson taught

in Kumu Kahua's "Da Kine." Written by Leigh C. Kim, it is the story of Ross Lee, a Korean boy from Pittsburgh who comes to Hawaii to live with his Uncle Chuk.

James C. K. Pestana does a great job playing Ross Lee. The transition between being a narrator and an actor is excellent He makes one laugh even when he's being humiliated. Tremaine Tamayose, famous · writer now actor, is Uncle Chuk, crotchety, stubborn, tough yet sensitive.

The story is well written. It is a piece of local culture which is compared to main­land ways but showed the similarities of people everywhere.
