Clinton emphasizes engagement in Asia-PacificClinton emphasizes engagement in Asia-PacificEMI AIKO

Associate News Editor

U.S. Secretary of State Hill-ary Rodham Clinton delivered an hour long speech, “America’s Pa-cifi c Century,” at the East-West

Center on Thursday, advocating to expand U.S. economic engagement and diplomatic ties in the region. “The 21st century will be America’s Pacifi c century, a pe-riod of unprecedented outreach and partnership in this dynamic and consequential region,” Clinton said in her address to a crowd of over 250 invited guests. “Just as our engagement has already delivered results to people in the [Asian re-gion], it has and will continue to de-liver results to American people.” This was Clinton’s fi rst public appearance after arriving in Ho-nolulu to attend the leaders’ meet-ings for the Asia-Pacifi c Economic Cooperation. She has spoken

twice previously at the East-West Center.

REACHING OUT TO ASIA Clinton emphasized that this is a time of se-rious economic chal-

lenges, and that she is well aware of American concerns. While some may question reaching out to Asia and instead think it is time to scale back, she stated, “This thinking is under-standable, but mistaken. What will happen in Asia in the years ahead will have an enormous im-pact on our nation’s future, and we cannot sit on the sideline and leave it to others to determine our futures for us.” Although the Obama adminis-tration embraced the importance of the Pacifi c region from the very be-ginning, Clinton said it was critical to seize new opportunities, as Asia and the Pacifi c have nearly half of the world’s population, several of the largest and fastest-growing economies, and some of the busiest ports and shipping lanes. Clinton also said, “One of the most important tasks of American statecraft over the next decade

will be to lock in a sub-stantially increased

investment – diplo-matic, economic, strategic and oth-erwise – in this region.” She also men-tioned some of the challenges in this region, which include military buildups, con-cerns about pro-liferation of nu-clear weapons, natural disasters and the world’s worst levels of

greenhouse gas emissions. “The war in Iraq is winding down. We have begun a transi-tion in Afghanistan. … We have reached a pivot point,” Clinton said. “We now have redirected some of those investments to opportunities and obligations elsewhere. And Asia stands out as a region where opportunities abound.”

ʻEAST MEETS EASTʼ The guests included both current and former Hawai‘i lead-ers such as former Gov. George Ariyoshi, Sen. Daniel Inouye, and Gov. Neil Abercrombie, as well as heads of Pacific island nations, senior U.S. military officials and UH officials. “This is not East meets West or East versus West. This is East meets East. This is the Asia-Pacifi c region. APEC represents an opportunity for Hawai‘i to position ourselves as an anchor in that region,” said Aber-crombie, who said he was pleased to see that focus is now back on Asia and the Pacifi c. “I think Hawai‘i [will] have a role to play, either in economics or in politics.” After the APEC summit, Clin-ton will be traveling, the Philippines and Thailand, and is scheduled to return to Washington on Nov. 19. “This was an excellent speech; it was an in-depth speech,” Univer-sity of Hawai‘i System President M.R.C. Greenwood said. “I believe that she gave it today for the rea-son of shaping and letting folks know, on her way to these other countries, what it is that we are se-rious about. I congratulate [her] on her wonderful speech here.”

As rush hour traffi c was com-pounded Thursday by the arrival of Chinese President Hu Jintao for the Asia-Pacifi c Economic Co-operation, indigenous and activist leaders of the Pacifi c were already gathered at the Church of the Crossroads for the second day of the Moana Nui 2011 Conference. Speakers from Hawai‘i, Guam, Okinawa, South Korea, Japan, the Philippines, Rapanui and the main-land U.S. focused on the topics of militarism in the Asia-Pacifi c re-gion and protecting native rights under globalization.

INDIGENOUS PEOPLES AND THE ENVIRONMENT Victoria Tauli-Corpuz, a Fili-pina activist who works with the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, spoke about how the traditional knowledge of indigenous peoples “is a precondi-tion for sustainable development.” She showed maps of how in-digenous lands and environmen-tally protected lands often line up, because indigenous peoples in the

Philippines are the ones fi ghting for environmental protections. “[It’s] ... not because govern-ments protected [them]; it ’s be-cause indigenous people fought against governments, fought against corporations,” she said, to applause from the crowd. The theme of environmen-tal stewardship was echoed in many of the other presentations concerned with militarism and, among other things, its negative environmental impact. Chamorro poet Craig Santos Perez, for example, read a poem about the endangered Microne-sian Kingfi sher, native to Guam.

IMPACT OF GLOBALIZATION “I was shocked to fi nd out there is no report on globaliza-tion’s impact on Hawaiian peo-ple,” said Native Hawaiian activist and lawyer Mililani Trask. According to Trask, as global-ization and neoliberal business practices extend their reach, the ef-fects are overwhelmingly negative for the health and economic welfare of indigenous peoples around the Pacifi c. Trask spoke about the ex-ample of the Maori in New Zealand.

“When globalization moved, the fi rst country to embrace it whole-heartedly was the government of New Zealand,” she said. The coun-try privatized public industries ex-tensively, with bad results. “Not only did they lose control of critical segments of their own community, but they began to see a very extreme and negative im-pact on Maori people,” said Trask. Trask also emphasized the impact of globalization on health, which is something she said is often overlooked. As a case study, she cit-ed New Zealand’s export of mutton fl aps to other island nations of the Pacifi c as food for aid. Mutton fl aps are a waste meat product that is only 2 percent meat and mostly fat. Fiji and Samoa have fi nally banned mutton fl aps due to the work of in-digenous doctors, churches and women’s organizations. “I support demonstrations, but I think that organizing with women, churches and others is the way to go,” said Trask.

In a Nov. 11 speech at the East-West Center, Vietnamese President Truong Tan Sang expressed his support for global trade agreements and continued cooperation between the United States, Vietnam and oth-er Asia-Pacifi c nations. “We are living in an interde-pendent world. Globalization and rising developments in science and technology are opening up new po-tentials for profound cooperation among our neighboring econo-mies, big and small,” Sang said. “But such a situation, more than ever before, requires us to join hands to fully grasp the opportuni-ties and rise up to the challenges.” The president repeatedly em-phasized negotiation in his speech, often making references to the Viet-nam War and the stabilizing talks that brought the United States and Vietnam into reconciliation. “This is about the future. And I think it is im-portant for us, right now, to keep the good momentum for the strength-ening of relations between our two

countries in the upcoming years. … Vietnam always views [the United States] as a very important partner of strategic signifi cance. And I be-lieve that on both sides from the U.S. and Vietnam, we all want to take our relationship to the next level. That is absolutely in line with the aspira-tions of our two countries,” he said. Sang explained that many of the issues that continue to affect the United States, Vietnam, Japan and other Asia-Pacifi c nations affect the global community as a whole. “Security issues like religious and ethnic confl ict, and nontradi-tional issues like terrorism, poverty, food security and climate change have become more complicated, requiring us to work together. Viet-nam has been actively participat-ing in its capability in settling such global issues,” the president added. Sang also said that over the last decade, Vietnam’s economy strengthened tremendously, en-abling the country to sustain a growing middle class. Industrializa-tion and greater international coop-eration, he said, allowed Vietnam to prosper. “In the Asia-Pacifi c region,

peace, cooperation and develop-ment remain the dominant trend despite all the economic challenges and underlying uncertainties.” As Sang wrapped up his speech, he offered to answer questions from the audience and the press. Al-though the event’s organizers had intended for Sang to only answer a couple questions, he eagerly of-fered to answer all of them. A few questions addressed whether Vietnam intends to move from a single-party to a multi-party system. “I think that every country and people have the right to select their own political institution, so I do not criticize other people’s politi-cal systems,” Sang said. “As Presi-dent Ho Chi Minh once said to [the Vietnamese people], it doesn’t mat-ter which political system [a nation] follows as long as it brings wellbe-ing and happiness to the people. It should be noted the Communist Party of Vietnam has established relations with 220 political parties across the globe, including noncom-munist parties. Thanks to social stability and integration, we have more friends and less enemies.”

As the Asia-Pacifi c Economic Cooperation meetings at the East-West Center wound down over the weekend, traffi c began to show signs of normalizing. But even as things went back to normal, many students expressed frustration over the security checks and in-creased traffi c to and from the uni-versity during the event. “In regards to APEC, I thought it was a total inconvenience,” re-plied Kenji Yamazaki, a resident advisor in the Hale Aloha ‘Ilima freshman tower. “It was really, re-

ally diffi cult to get parking, and overall, I just thought it was a huge nuisance for most of the students.” Yamazaki and many other University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa students had speculated that APEC would create what was referred to in California as “Car-mageddon.” But traffi c directors and booth operators around East-West Road and Dole Street said traffi c was slow, but smooth. “[Because of the APEC meet-ings] we have to stop everyone that comes through here,” Mark Masalosalo said. Masalosalo di-rected traffi c and checked IDs for entering traffi c during Vietnam-

ese President Truong Tan Sang’s speech on Friday. “We have to stop everybody, even people walking or on motorcycles, but all the traffi c’s been going smooth for now.” Although the additional security measures were unpleasant for some, most students did not complain. “Even though it wasn’t too fun getting delayed, I understand that it ’s for a good reason,” said Cam-eron Nicholl, a freshman. “There are some pretty important people that were here, so security is just trying to be a little more cau-tious.” The APEC events went as planned, and there have been no safety or security incidents.

COURTESY OF REESE MORIYAMA/KENNEDY THEATRE

ELEANOR SVATON

Contributing Writer

The original production of “Okla-homa!” opened on Broadway in 1943 and ran for “a stunning 2,212 performances, a re-cord that lasted for 15 years,” according to dramaturg Yining Lin. So, what’s the big deal with this show? And, how does play di-rector Lurana Donnels O’Malley’s production differ from others? The answer: this show has something for everyone, especially in the hands of a director dedicated to “taking it beyond the clichés inevi-tably engendered by its success.” “I hold the musical in such high regard,” O’Malley wrote, “that it has always bothered me when people offhandedly use it as an example of ‘feel-good’ fl uff.” “Oklahoma!” – ostensibly a love story – has its share of bright-ness and laughs, but the happy moments are punctuated by dark humor, violence and tragedy. The lead couple, Karissa J. Mur-rell Adams (Laurey) and Brandon Gregory Martinez (Curly), are well matched in voice and style, with Adams taking the tough-girl stance to Martinez’s “aw shucks” sincer-ity. The character of Laurey comes through when Adams is dancing, especially in the dream dance, a through-the-looking-glass sequence where Laurey’s deepest fears and desires are revealed, choreographed by Harmony S.L. Aguilera. Martinez and Garett T.K. Ta-keta (Jud Fry) have one of the most commanding scenes of the show. In the threateningly comic number “Pore Jud is Daid,” Martinez re-veals Curly’s manipulative side. Ta-keta shows Jud to be a lonely man, angry at the world that treats him like dirt. With the aid of lighting designer Ray Moschuk, the audi-ence can see Jud’s wounded hu-

manity in “Lonely Room.” Martinez and Taketa succeed at going deeper than standard hero/villain roles.

Com-edy shines in this produc-tion, with Brittni Michele Shambaugh’s Ado Annie cheerfully celebrating frenzied passion and pretty-talkin’ men. Her bright-est moments are when she’s paired with her two beaus, creating a comedic love tri-angle. Ali Hakim (played with smarts and an unerring command for comedic delivery by Walt Gaines) and Will Parker (en-dowed with a loyal and true character by Robbie Johnson) vie for Ado An-nie’s affection. The cast performs well, par-ticularly in singing and dancing. Michelle Johnson (Aunt Eller) and Michael “Donut” Donato (An-drew Carnes) bring character and comedy to the musical number “The Farmer and the Cowman,” a catchy song about putting differences aside and standing as a community. John-son’s Aunt Eller is a convincing ma-triarch, while Donato’s Judge Carnes comes through as a softie who listens to whatever Eller tells him. Instead of a realistic framework for the show, scenic designer Don-ald Quilinquin created an artistic

impression of setting, using slats of wood hung at different angles. The sparseness of material combined with the use of hard lines and edges allows for ambiguity while indicating both the tangible and the abstract: a house, rolling hills, clouds, a map of the U.S., and rays of sunlight are variously and simultaneously suggested. In the end, the show brings together banners that represent “Indian Territory,” the Oklahoma Territory and statehood in a way that both answers and raises questions. While the musical’s storyline is resolved, the larger narrative about the formation of the United States is only hinted at. The success of “Oklahoma!” lies in the balance of different el-ements, resulting in one complex and cohesive presentation.

Were your Nov. 9 issue on the Asia-Pacif ic Econom-ic Cooperation a student paper for a f irst-year under-graduate course, it would receive a failing grade. The “A slacker’s guide to APEC” was truly slacker material. Cutting and pasting from a series of govern-mental and APEC websites is lazy work and hardly counts for sharing the basic facts of APEC. These web-sites are not unbiased ref lections of reality but the po-sitions of governments and of APEC and should not be treated as a source of facts.

The three (out of ten: 30 percent!) of the articles focus-ing on APEC interns demonstrate poor journalistic skills: not digging deeper into the relationship between APEC, the UH and APEC interns is a missed opportunity. The spread on “Voices on APEC” is also lazy. Instead of doing your own research, you rely on the websites of the organizations or scant quotes from some of the groups’ rep-resentatives. Again, bad journalism. Lastly, Taylor Gardner, in the piece on “What’s in a name?,” seemingly has no understanding of irony. It is ironic in a piece in

which the slogan “APEC Sucks” is criticized for being juvenile, the author makes no effort to actually engage in the serious dis-cussion whose absence is so lamented in the article. This issue of Ka Leo is a shocking display of the poor journal-istic skills and standards at Ka Leo. The writers putting it togeth-er ought to have researched – and reported – on the substance and consequences of APEC and not just taken the lazy way out.

ETHAN ‘ONIPA‘A PORTER

Columnist

Due to recent events, I would like to take this opportu-nity to tell a story about social justice. In 1931, a woman named Thalia Massie (age 20), the wife of a United States Navy officer, left a Waikīkī night-club alone. We do not know the true events of that night, but a few hours later, Massie was found with bruises on her face and a broken jaw. She told police that she had been kidnapped, beaten and raped. At the same time, five young local men were involved in a car crash on the corner of King and Liliha streets. The men were brought repeatedly to Massie’s hospi-tal room where, after changing her story multiple times, she identified them as her assailants. The news rattled the islands. Despite the lack of ev-idence, including the contradiction that the locals were far from Waikīkī during the attack on Massie, Rear Ad-miral Yates Stirling Jr. and Grace Fortescue pushed the story into headlines.

Stirling was the commander of the 14th Naval District, based in Honolulu, and his racial bias against Asians and kānaka maoli are evident in his writing. Fortescue was Massie’s mother, a niece of Alexander Graham Bell and cousin-in-law of the Roosevelts. Both used their positions – one as a military leader and the other as a socialite who knew who to talk to – to make sure that everyone thought that the fi ve local men were guilty. Ben Ahakuelo (20), Henry Chang (22), Horace Ida (24), Joseph Kahahawai (20) and David Takai (21) were nearly immediately put on trial. After the longest jury de-liberation in Hawai‘i history, the jury could not reach a consensus. The young men were released. The mistrial caused an uproar. Ida was grabbed off the street and beaten by a car-load of sailors. On Jan. 8, 1932, Fortescue; Massie’s husband, Thomas; and Albert Jones and Edward Lord, two men under his command, abducted and beat Kahahawai in an attempt to get a confession out of him. When he did not cooperate, he was shot. The group decided to dump his body near Koko Head, but on the way were intercepted by a Honolulu police offi cer and arrested for murder.

The local and mainland press went crazy. Words such as “honor killing” made headlines. In a country where dark-skinned men were routinely hunted down and hung on the premise that they had been eyeing white women, the fact that Fortescue and compa-ny would be put on trial was practically unheard of. Clarence Darrow, famous for defending a Tennes-see teacher who broke the law of teaching evolution in his classroom, took the case to defend Fortescue and the group. Despite the evidence against them, the group was only convicted of manslaughter, and they were sentenced to 10 years of hard labor. But the sentence was commuted. On May 4, the guilty party was summoned to the offi ce of Gov. Lawrence Judd, where they drank tea for an hour in the presence of a sher-iff and were then released. Eighty years ago, justice was denied to the family of a murdered young man. The purpose of law is to ensure that everyone guilty of a crime, no matter his or her standing, is equally punished. When the crime is purposefully ending an-other person’s life, we must make sure that justice is served. Do not repeat history.

As much as we attempt to move forward with science and technology, humans are tied to a tradition of storytelling. One story stands above the rest, literally: the tale of Bigfoot. Not confi ned to a specifi c region or country, Bigfoot is renowned worldwide. It seems that nearly all regions of the world share the myth of a giant, furry humanoid. Bigfoot has many aliases, including Sas-quatch, Yeti, and Skunk Ape. The fascination with Bigfoot transcends all socioeconomic barriers. People from many different back-grounds all fi nd common ground in their con-viction that Bigfoot roams among us. In fact, the Bigfoot trend has such an avid following that Animal Planet currently airs a show called “Finding Bigfoot,” which follows a team across the U.S. and Canada as they visit and interview people who claim to have seen Bigfoot. Decades ago, the Bigfoot phenomenon was in full force in the Pacifi c Northwest. Skamania County, in Washington, passed a law in 1969 that made it a felony to kill “such

creatures.” Not to be outdone, Whatcom County, Wash., passed a unanimous resolu-tion declaring the county to be a “Sasquatch Protection and Refuge Area.” And before packing up to go to Oklahoma City, the NBA Seattle SuperSonics’ team mascot, Squatch, further ingrained the myth of Bigfoot into the loyal fan base at each home game. The biggest surprise is that not one per-son has been able to capture or interact with a Bigfoot. Bigfoot hunters insist that Bigfoot is extremely smart. If this is true, why is Bigfoot still living in the woods, scared of all possible external contact, and living with no amenities whatsoever? The answer is simple: Bigfoot does not exist. As much as we would like to see irrefut-able proof for Bigfoot, it ’s not happening. This inconvenient fact doesn’t stop people from fi lling their lives with everything Big-foot. The Bigfoot Field Research Organiza-tion claims to be the oldest and largest group solely dedicated to covering everything about Bigfoot that is relevant and timely. The Himalayan Mountains of central Asia are the epicenter for Yeti myths. But as Heru-ka Zangpo, a Shidler MBA student from Bhu-tan, stated simply, “I have never seen a Yeti.” Some of the most avid Bigfoot believers

seem to have gone off the deep end. The latest embar-rassing example is the hoax by Rick Dyer and Matthew Whitton in 2008. Through a on YouTube, these men claimed to have discovered the cadaver of a dead Sas-quatch, and even received $50,000 from Searching for Bigfoot, Inc. Mounting pressure from Bigfoot devotees and media ultimately forced these men to deliver the body, covered in ice, as proof. In the end, the hair was false, the feet were made of rubber and the head was completely hol-low. The hoax is the latest in a long series of deceits. Humans will forever be enticed by the story of a super humanoid roaming the wilderness. Although the Bigfoot phenomenon serves to raise awareness and create more interest, the fact remains that no le-gitimate, credible evidence has ever been provided which confirms the existence of a Bigfoot anywhere on this planet.

If you’ve ever dreamed of being on national television, to -night ’s the night for you. The Rainbow Warrior bas-ketball team will once again par-ticipate in ESPN’s College Hoops Tip-Off Marathon, which calls for an 11 p.m. tip-off against Cal State Northridge tonight at the Stan Sheriff Center. All UH Mānoa students get in free with a validated ID.

PROMOTIONS The first 1,000 people through the turnstiles will re-ceive a reusable tote bag, and Outrigger Hotels and Resorts will host its “Shoot for the Loot” contest at halftime. Also at half-time, all UH Mānoa students with validated ID will have a chance to win a hotel stay in the “Outrigger Hotels Half-Court Heave.” The fan with the best ESPN ac-ronym sign will win an interisland

airline ticket. However, signs must be smaller than 4 feet by 3 feet.

EXHIBIT ION GAME The Rainbow Warriors are coming off of a 62-56 victory Friday night against the Hawai‘i Pacifi c Sea Warriors in the team’s only ex-hibition game of the season. “Our best basketball is still ahead of us,” head coach Gib Ar-nold said. “We showed that we have a long way to go, especially on the offensive side. We strug-gled at times, offensively, to re-ally get into a fl ow. Overall it was a little sloppy, as expected in the fi rst exhibition game, but I think the team will grow from it.” Senior guard Zane Johnson led all scorers with 21 points, with junior center Vander Joaquim add-ing 12. But it was freshman guard Shaquille Stokes who stood out in his debut as a Rainbow War-rior. Stokes put up 11 points and a team-high four assists. “We were probably a little over-hyped coming into the

game,” Stokes said. “We wantedto do a lot of things that we knowwe can do. It’s going to be totallydifferent when [tonight] comes.” Arnold agreed, but wants tosee Stokes grow immensely asthe season progresses. “Shaq’s going to be a really, re-ally good player,” Arnold said. “Buthe had some freshman moments[on Friday]. He didn’t shoot it aswell as he can and did some thingsthat got us in trouble offensively.But I’m a big believer in Shaquille,and he’s going to be just fi ne.”

LESSONS LEARNED Despite pulling out a closegame against HPU, the RainbowWarriors aren’t panicking yet.The ’Bows realized they havemuch to improve on. “It’s all on the defensive end be-cause the offense will come, espe-cially this early in the year,” John-son said. “Just talking on defenseand always being in the stance, weall fall victim to that one – just box-ing out and fi nishing the plays.”

Senior outside hitter Kanani Danielson was named Ka Leo’s player of the week for her perfor-mance in Hawai‘i’s two victories over Louisiana Tech and New Mexico State. Danielson racked up a team-high eight kills against LA Tech and 11 kills against New Mexico State. The victory over the Aggies marked the end of Hawai‘i’s conference regular season and culminated with the annual Senior Night festivities. Danielson joined Chanteal Satele and Alex Griffi ths in their fi nal regular season matches in the Stan Sheriff Center. “It’s a great accomplishment to say that I’ve made it through Senior Night,” Danielson said. “All things come to a good end. … It’s exactly what I wanted and I’ve enjoyed every moment.”
