Dr. ROGER GREEN, a distinguished archaeologist who is a leading figure in the study of Oceanic prehistory, will teach at the University of Hawaii during the academic year 1981-82 as Visiting Professor, Pacific Islands Chair in Anthropology, Department of Anthropology.

Dr. Green currently occupies a professional chair and is Head of the Department of Anthropology at the University of Auckland. Previously he held a position as Anthropologist at the Bishop Museum.

Dr. Green has had extensive field research experience in Polynesia and Melanesia, including studies in Hawaii, New Zealand, Mangareva, Mo'orea, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, and the Solomon Islands.

Among the honors that Dr. Green has received are the Captain James Cook Fellowship, the Royal Society of New Zealand, and the Eldon Best Hedal, Polynesian Society.

MR. JAMES V. MAKASIALE, DIRECTOR EHC PACIFIC ISLANDS DEVELOPMENT PROJECT

Mr. JAMES V. MAKASIALE has been named Director at the EWC's Pacific Islands Development Program. Mr. Makasiale, a citizen of Fiji, was an E\,TC grantee and UH graduate in the 1960's. In 1970, he became a senior agricultural officer in the eastern division of Fiji. Five years later he went to Suva as Fiji's director of extension services, returning after a year to Levuka as district commissioner, central division. Since 1979, he has been the district commissioner, central division.

TRANSLATION PROJECT GERMAN ETHNOGRAPHIES OF MICRONESIA

The December, 1979 issue of the newsletter reported that Pacific Islands Studies and the Social Science Research Institute (SSRI), U.H., had entered into a joint project with the Historic Preservation Office, U.S. Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands to prepare quality translations of the volumes of the Ergebnisse der Sudsee Expedition 1908-10 edited by C. Thilenius. During the 1979-80 year, Ms. RUTH RUNEBORG translated the one volume on the Marshall Islands and the three volumes on Ponape. This project has been funded again by the Historic Preservation Office and Ms. BETH MURPHY has replaced Ruth who returned to the mainland. Beth is polishing the completed translations and will be working on translations of the two volumes on Kosrae during the 1980-81 year.

USP/UH EXCHANGE PROGRAM

As reported in the last newsletter, a student/faculty exchange program has been initiated between the University of the South Pacific and UH Pacific Islands Studies Program. The following item pertaining to the exchange appeared in the February 19, 1981 issue of USP's Information Bulletln.

The Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Professor Roger Hopkins, has just returned to the Laucala Campus after a period of four weeks on the Manoa Campus of the University of Hawaii. Opportunity was taken during part of this time to have discussions regarding the USP/UH link with Chancellor Durward Long, Andrew In, Dean of Education, Chick Gee, Dean of the School of Travel Industry Management, the Dean of the College of Law, Marvin Anderson, and other colleagues in related areas. The Pacific Island Program, under the Director Dr. Robert Kiste, remains an important point of contact in the link arrangement. This programme now finds its horne in the recently-established Center for Asian and Pacific Studies (CAPS) under its new director, Dr. Stephen Uhalley.

As had been anticipated, while Professor Hopkins was at Manoa the USP staff and students under the exchange scheme arrived, as well as staff undertaking graduate work under other awards. USP representation in the discussions facilitated the settling-in process and concluded in a luncheon attended by Mr. Sadaquat Ali of the School of Natural Resources, Miss Helen Chow and Mr. Susil Bhan of the University Library, and Mr. John Tangi and Mrs. Taiaopo Naseri, exchange students.

Discussions were also held with officials of the East­West Center in particular with the Dean of Student Affairs, Ms. Surni Lakey and her Assistant, Mr. Mike Harnnet.

PIP M.A. EXAM April 11

The written M.A. examination for graduate students in Pacific Islands Studies has been scheduled for Saturday morning, April 11. Approximately ten students are slated to take the examination. They have been holding weekly review sessions, and to date, they are inviting area specialists to assist them with sessions. To date, the following have given them a hand: Dr. LEONARD MASON, Professor Emeritus; Dr. STEPHEN LEVINE, Visiting Professor from Victoria University at Wellington; Dr. }1ICHAEL HAMNETT, EWC, and Dr. MACU SALATO, Scholar-in-Residence, Pacific Islands Studies.

RUSSIAN MATERIALS PACIFIC COLLECTION

HAMILTON LIBRARY

The Pacific Collection of the University of Hawaii systematically acquires materials through purchase and exchange materials that relate to Russian activities and scientific interests in the Pacific. (More details can be found in the survey, "The Russian Collection at the University of Hawaii," Honolulu: 1980, by P. Polansky- available from Ms. Patricia Polansky, Hamilton Library.) Russia's presence in the Pacific Ocean dates from as early as 1648. Russia's first contact with Hawaii was in 1803, and was primarily a result of Russian round-the-world voyages and affairs of the Russian American Company in Alaska. The Pacific collection holds the major Russian voyage accounts either in the original or in reprint. There are also collections of Russian materials on the Pacific at the Bishop Museum, at the University Library in Sydney and in the Turnball Library in New Zealand.

In an attempt to identify what the Russians have written about Hawaii and the South Pacific, a bibliography was prepared by Patricia Polansky entitled Russian writin8s on the South Pacific area: a preliminary editio~--fHonoluTu~l ... /4~- -Un:lve-rsity of Hawaii, Pacific Islands Program, Misc. vJOrk papers 1974: 5). This bibliography was expanded as a result of Polansky's research trip to the Soviet Union in 1977, and a final edition will be annotated and published by G.K. Hall in the future. Of the 824 items listed in the preliminary edition, about 85% of the material has been acquired. Polansky's research grant allowed the microfilming of 32 titles (7300 pages) about the Pacific from the Lenin Library in Moscow.

BEST PAPER AvJARDS INSTITUTE FOR POLYNESIAN STUDIES

The Institute for Polynesian Studies announced that the winner of the 1980 Best Paper Award for graduate students is Mr. DONALD SHUSTER, of the University of Hawaii. He has been awarded $100 for his paper, "Dimensions of Shinto in l-1icronesia During Japanese Rule, 1914--1945."
