A LVIN PARK Associate Features Editor Te Piringa Māori – the Māori program at the University of Hawaii at Mānoa – has been awarded a Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence for the 2012-2013 academic year, inviting one of the fi rst cohorts of a Māori language immersion program to teach at the university. Te Raukura o te Rangimārie Roa (or Dr. Raukura Roa for short) is among the few who are ethnically Māorian and speak Māori fluently. “I arrived in 2008 and have been trying to build the program ever since I’ve arrived,” said Mary Boyce, the Māori program coordinator. “So getting a young Māori
scholar who is ethnically Māorian will be great for the program.” The university hopes Roa’s expertise in traditional and contemporary performing arts will enrich the small program. Roa will arrive in early August and stay until mid-May. During the Fall 2012 semester, she will be teaching M AO 384, a course that will focus on Māori songs, kapa haka (a dance of the Māori people) and other performing arts. “She will be introducing students to various aspects of song, contemporar y music composition and the competitive world of kapa haka,” Boyce said. “Usually the course has a
language prerequisite, but we will waive it for next semester.” Roa will also be teaching IP 273 (D) in the fall, which is an Indo-Pacific language and culture course that focuses on Polynesia. Plans for what courses she will teach in spring of 2013 are not fi nalized, says Boyce, who plans to visit Roa in New Zealand in June to further discuss teaching options with her. According to Boyce, this is the first time that the university has applied for the Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence Program, but the endeavor was successful due to the support of other departments at UH. “I applied for this scholarship, but I had to get the support from
847 McCully St. Honolulu, HI 96826 (808)952-9253 www.motosourcehawaii.com
my department and dean,” she said. “They have been very supportive, along with other departments who were interested in working with Dr. Roa when she arrived here.” Roa will also be planning a series of public lectures and community outreach events, which will be announced in detail at a later date.

Progressive (potential) politicians:
sake of development. “I like to say the phrase ‘Republicrats’ because we see little difference between Republicans and Democrats [in Hawai‘i],” he said. Greens seem willing to take the liberal agenda a step further. “We support same-sex marriage in the state, and we don’t have that; we have civil unions,” said Nikhilananda. In 1992, Keiko Bonk ran for the 6th district on the Big Island as a member of the GPH. She won against an incumbent Democrat and a Republican. Since then, the Big Island has been a hotbed of green politics in the state. Nikhilananda hopes it will spread. “Obviously, we hope that we have some very strong candidates,” he said.
K ELSEY A MOS News Editor
Voters will have candidates from the Green Party of Hawai‘i as choices in all partisan races in Hawai‘i for the next 10 years, provided that Green Party candidates come forward to run in local elections. “Around the world, Greens have actually won offi ce,” said Nikhilananda, co-chair of the Green Party of Hawai‘i in a phone interview from Maui. State law requires political parties other than the Democratic and Republican parties to petition to appear on ballots. Petitions must have signatures from at least a tenth of 1 percent of registered voters in the last election. The GPH announced on May 19 that its petition to be included in the 2012 elections was successful, and because the GPH has successfully petitioned for the last three election cycles, by law it will automatically be included on partisan ballots until 2020.
ing for a candidate from the GPH, Monet Gregory, a freshman majoring in travel industry management, said she might. “Environmental issues ... are getting really fast growing,” she said. “So yeah, I’d really consider voting for them because all the stuff that’s just been going on lately … the [tsunami] debris and the [North Pacific] gyre ... they need to have more attention,” she said. Katie Nishikawa, a junior majoring in communications, was more skeptical. “Unless they … stood very fi rmly on an issue that I felt strongly about I don’t think, I’d vote for them, just because my vote wouldn’t be heard,” she said. Nikhilananda said that even if GPH candidates don’t win many positions in the next 10 years, “We would like green positions to become law and to become accepted.” “They probably honestly wouldn’t have a chance of winning this election, but the issues are growing,” said Gregory. “And the more people who know about it, the more likely that it will happen in the future.”

Honolulu has some of the cleanest air in the nation, according to the American Lung Association. Its recently released State of the Air report ranks American cities based on their annual and daily air pollution statistics. “It’s surprising, because I know that cars are checked for fuel emissions here, but you see so many trolleys and buses in Waikīkī and elsewhere in Honolulu that you would never have guessed that we have the cleanest air,” said an anonymous environmental studies student polled about the report. “Maybe the trade winds help carry our smog away.” This year, Honolulu came out fi rst for cleanest metropolitan area in the country for ozone (smog), as well as 23rd
for cleanest metropolitan areas in the country for annual particle pollution and 120th for 24-hour particle pollution (soot) out of 277 metropolitan areas. Last year, Honolulu was recognized behind Santa Fe as one of the two cleanest cities in the nation. Progress is due to the continued cleanup required by the Clean Air Act. The State of the Air is a progress report the American Lung Association conducts annually to show improvement made due to the Clean Air Act. Amended in 1990, the act outlines procedures and regulations for preventing spikes in air pollution and cleaning up the existing pollution in areas throughout the country.

MAILE THOMAS Staff Writer In 1982, a Chinese-American man named Vincent Chin was brutally murdered by two white auto workers at a time when the Detroit auto industry was experiencing massive layoffs due to work being shifted to automakers in Japan. His death sparked an outrage among Asian Americans and ignited a pan-Asian identity and civil rights movement, yet his name is almost unknown today. “Vincent Who?” is an Academy Award-nominated documentary that seeks to familiarize audiences with the name and story of Vincent Chin, asking “how far Asian Americans have come since the case and
how far they have yet to go,” according to the fi lm’s official site. The Associated Students of the University of Hawai‘i is hosting a showing of the film on campus this afternoon in the Campus Center Executive Dining Room, and afterwards producer Curtis Chin will lead a discussion on the legacy of the case. “The case is still relevant today when you consider the hatred in the world and how it often stems from negative feelings toward people based on their ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation and other differences,” said Kelli Miura, a member of the Asian American Journalists Association. Miura encourages all students to come view the film. “Students will definitely gain important knowledge

aboutt the th case,”” she h said. id “For “F some, the event may be the first time they’re hearing about what happened to Vincent Chin, while others will get a refresher and additional information through the Q and A panel.” According to Miura, the documentary should spark the interests of people in Hawai‘i specifically because of the large Asian population here. She explained, “ This film will help make them aware of the challenges Asian Americans faced in the past. “Asian Americans are still minorities on the mainland, and those who live in Hawai‘i may not be as familiar with the issues they have faced in the past and are currently experiencing.”
Screening and discussion with producer Curtis Chin Cost: $12 (includes refreshments) Where: YWCA Laniākea, 1040 Richards St. When: Tuesday, May 1; 5-7 p.m.

COURTESY OF JOEL GASPAR
On April 23, students and faculty at Leeward Community College were captivated by a 64-foot-wide and 8 -foot-tall mural facing Tuthill Courtyard. The mural was placed on the construction boards put around the Learning Resource Center while it is currently under renovation. “Every step is the destination” stretches across the center, while Pablo Picasso and C.S. Lewis flank the quote. “The inspiration of this quote came from our art professor, Alan Leitner,” said Joel Gaspar, a student and lead designer for the mural. “Failure shouldn’t be seen as a negative or dead end. Failures are just steps in the progression that you want to go. Keep striving, keep pushing forward. That’s what the quote means. It’s all a part of the journey.” Leitner, an American abstract artist who has taught at Leeward for over a quarter of a century, was instrumental in the organization and communication of the project. “This means a lot to us faculty. ... What makes this job so rewarding is seeing [our students] succeed,” said Leitner. “Out of my 27 years
as being a professor here at Leeward CC, this is one of the most significant accomplishments I was able to take part in.”
I N I T I A L P RO C E S S The start of the three-day mural process began two years ago with the idea of an expression wall from ASUH-Leeward senator JP Whitaker. “I don’t think the majority of people, students or faculty, know how hard it is to accomplish something like this. To them it looks as if it appeared overnight. Regardless of whether you like the composition, the style, the execution or the message, when you walk by the mural it’s a jolt to your eyeballs,” said Whitaker. The production of the mural began Friday afternoon and was completed late Sunday evening, totaling 20 hours of meticulous work. An overhead projector was used to transfer the 8.5 by 11-inch design onto the wall. Friday consisted of laying down the framework and sketching out the letters, lines and figures, in addition to taping down the letters of the quote with painter’s tape. On Saturday afternoon, the students sketched outlines of Pablo
Picasso and C.S. Lewis using house paint and brushes of different sizes. On their final day, the students finalized a second coat of splatters and drip marks to enhance the street theme.
FUTURE PLANS The students involved in this project hope to encourage faculty and students across the University of Hawai‘i System. “ This was never about us as artists, nor was it for fame or recognition. Our sole intention was to inspire,” said Gaspar. “ We hope this endeavor will get people excited, not just on our campus, but on others as well.” To see a video of the painting process, go to kaleo.org or scan below:

Timo Lee, more popularly known as DJ Timo, moved to Hawai‘i 11 years ago from Taipei, Taiwan. Music has helped her cope with the culture shock of immigrating to a new country and way of life, and her show on KTUH refl ects the power that music can have to comfort and change. Her show, “Afternoon Delight,” starts off slow with vocal indie electronic tunes from artists like Body Language, Electrelane, Hercules and Love Affair, and Little Dragon. Voices and lyrics mesh with synthetic textures, occasionally drifting into robotic rhythms a la Kraftwerk. As the afternoon progresses, the mood shifts toward the vibes of a sunset beach disco, with houselike electronica that keeps it classy without breaking into a rave’s excessive clamor. Active in Honolulu’s nightlife scene, L ee is a resident DJ at thirtyninehotel and L otus Bar and L ounge. For Lee, Chinatown means more than just a night out. She is able to find influence for her show through networking and being involved in the downtown scene. Partying out is her method of research. “I made a lot of friends through music,” she said. “We all liked the similar sounds and we’d go out and party – and now I’m DJing.” Although her radio show showcases music that wouldn’t necessarily fit the mood of peak hours at a club, her life, along with her show, has evolved beyond the party scene. “You’ve got to fi nd a balance of school and pleasure, but you gotta have fun,” she said. Catch DJ Timo’s show Thursdays from 3 to 6 p.m. on KTUH 90.3 FM or online at KTUH.org.

“Digging,” searching for new music, used to require hours of searching through record shops, thrift stores and flea markets. Now, everyday users can find new sounds easily on the Internet.
Of all the activities involved in DJing, few are as enjoyable as the payoff from a good dig. The feeling of fi nding new or perhaps rare, underappreciated music is something that is uniquely specific to digging. Not all DJs seem to enjoy digging as much as I do, but I think we can all relate to the joy of discovery. When interviewed for the movie “Scratch,” DJ Shadow said this about the art of digging: “I honestly feel like the people that dig don’t stop digging because it is a part of who we are. ...It’s not going to make a bad DJ good, but it will make a good DJ better.” Nowadays, DJs no longer need to dig for vinyls in thrift stores or wait weeks for a new vinyl to arrive at their local record stores. In the digital age, the common DJ can enjoy digging from the comfort of his or her home. With that in mind, I’d like to point out a few new artists, tracks or albums you should all be checking out yourself. In true DJ fashion, I won’t be giving away any of my secret stash – but there will still be plenty of good music to go around. Bassnectar dropped a new album this month called “ VaVa Voom.” If you like big, bass-heav y music, there really is no one better than Bassnectar at delivering enthusiastic party bass. Next up
there’s the lesser-known but amazingly skilled Tipper with his new album “Puzzle Dust.” It ’s a bit more of a sophisticated listen, but if you’ve got the ear for complex electronic music, Tipper is a treasure trove. Tipper is even one of the artists said to have inf luenced Bassnectar. If we are going to talk about good electronic music it is almost impossible for me to leave Pretty Lights Music out of the conversation. Housing numerous top-shelf artists, Pretty Lights Music has quickly established itself as one of the premier record labels in the United States. And the fact that you can download nearly 100 percent of its music for free via its official website means you have no excuse for missing out. While most people will focus on Pretty Lights itself, I encourage you to check out the label’s other artists too. In particular, try Gramatik, who just dropped another album this month. Called “Digital Freedom,” it offers an enjoyable mixture of mid-tempo electronic and glitch with a just a touch of hip-hop sensibility. So if you’re a neophiliac like me and you just need new music, don’t forget there’s more music made ever y day than you could possibly hope to hear in a lifetime. So don’t be afraid to dig around and experiment – and when in doubt, just ask DJ Fu Man Chu. I’ll be sure to point you in the right direction.

He said, she said Q: A few weeks ago I slept with this guy who, I later found out, has a girlfriend. I’m really not interested in trying to replace his girlfriend, but I find this guy really attractive and would not mind sleeping with him in the future. Would it be wrong of me to do that? Where does the responsibility lie when it comes to cheating?
FEMALE PERSPECTIVE:
MALE PERSPECTIVE:
In the game that you are playing, there are a few rules that must be kept clear. First let’s talk about the couple. They are either very progressive in their relationship, or someone is lying. If you’ve ever been in a long-term relationship, you learn what is crossing the line. Currently, sexual monogamy is the norm, and you and him having sex would be crossing that line. Unless they have had a conversation setting the boundaries of cheating for their relationship, it is hard to say if he was cheating. If the woman has agreed to them having an open relationship, then there’s nothing wrong with it. But odds are he is cheating. Secondly, let us address your behavior. I get it. I too have been tempted by a good-looking guy. But sleeping with him again, unless you can address if he has talked to his girl about it, is wrong and you are cheating. Also, be realistic: If he’d have sex with you while in a relationship, who else would he have sex with? You could be one of many.
Well, for starters, you might want to talk to him about it. There are myriad of ways a man and woman can have what we might identify as a “relationship,” and a great many of them don’t involve exclusivity when it comes to sex. That said, it’s also possible that he’s a bit of a cad and doesn’t mind hurting people. But before you jump to any conclusions, you may just want to have a simple conversation with him about the issue. You never know; you may be surprised to find out he has a great many lovers, but he’s not monogamous with any of them. If he gets defensive or refuses to talk to you about it, then you might want to consider heading for the door. If, however, you’ve already made up your mind to sleep with him but are just seeking some kind of external validation to go ahead, you won’t find it here. If you’re going to be a little on the evil side, you might as well own up to it. At least this way, if/when it comes back to haunt you, you’ll learn a valuable lesson about the rule of reciprocity.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Three cheers for Sarah Neal
Reactions to the Dalai Lama
This is to give applause to staff writer Sarah Neal. In her article “America is not post-racial,” she referred to the president of the United States as “a half-black man.” Hurrah for fi nally stating it correctly – half-black, as opposed to black man. I have never seen “half-black” used in newspapers and magazines, nor do people speak of him as such. But it is the absolute truth, and though our nation would love to profess it has elected the fi rst black man, in truth, it has not. Accuracy is of utmost importance in journalism, and I commend Ms. Neal for being authentic in her writing.
Much of Hawaiian culture is centered around music and ceremonial rituals. W hile I saw some of that going on, I do agree that the proportion of entertainment to the actual talks given by the Dalai L ama was absurd. I started to stream Sunday’s talk around 1 p.m., thinking that he’d start talking at 1:45 p.m., as scheduled. What actually happened is that the Dalai Lama appeared on stage, and then the musicians that had performed were invited back on stage while they waited awkwardly for His Holiness to drape them with white stoles. And then there were more people who continually blabbed, and all I was thinking then was, “Geez, get on with it.” I was a little disappointed in the organization and content of the event. I felt that it was a chance to show the rest of the U.S. and the world what Hawai‘i is about, but with a good portion of it highlighting musical celebrities and their performances, it just undermined the reason the Dalai Lama came to Hawai‘i. Additionally, it felt to me that perhaps the event organizers felt it necessary to have some “known” names in Hawai‘i to draw in a crowd, especially for the younger audiences. How superficial.

Warriors look for a stroke of luck M ARC A R AK AKI Sports Editor T.J. Kua is perhaps the most consistent male golfer in University of Hawai‘i program history. The senior from Līhu‘e has racked up yearly averages of 74.1, 73.9, 74.0 and is averaging 73.1 strokes per round this season. For the past two seasons, Kua has, far and away, led the Warriors. But this season, although Kua is maintaining a career-best scoring average, he is second on the team. Junior Cory Oride, also from Līhu‘e, is averaging a career best of 72.9. “I think [Kua feels] more relief than anything else – just the fact that there’s somebody else performing and putting up good numbers,” head coach Ronn Miyashiro said. “Cory [Oride]
pretty much played consistently well all the way through the year. His hard work is paying off right now. It’s been very helpful toward the team score.” A nd in this week’s Western Athletic Conference Championships, the Warriors will need solid play if they are to win the team title. Hawai‘i will head to the Rio Secco Golf Club in Las Vegas, Nev. The venue hosted the past three WAC Championships, so Miyashiro hopes that familiarity will help the Warriors improve on their tiedfor-7th fi nish last season. Joining Kua and Oride in Las Vegas are senior Jared Sawada and sophomores David Saka and Nainoa Calip. “The players will have a lot of experience coming to the golf course,” Miyashiro said. “We lost
Boise State, so there’s only eight schools. So we’re actually going out in twosomes, rather than threesomes. We’re excited, and we have a legitimate shot if everyone plays well.” And although Kua is second in scoring average, Miyashiro feels that this is Kua’s tournament to win. “This is his last WAC Tournament, and I know he has high expectations for himself,” Miyashiro said. “It’s the third time he’s played here. If he plays well, he has a legitimate shot at winning [the individual title]. “I think that’s the one thing about this year’s tournament. There’s no one outstanding person or team that’s gonna just dominate and walk away with this. You’ve got fi ve or six teams that have a legitimate shot at winning.”

JAYSON NAKASHIMA / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
The battle for the No. 1 quarterback spot continues into the summer between sophomore Jeremy Higgins (pictured) and junior David Graves. JOEY R AMIREZ Associate Sports Editor The University of Hawai‘i football team concluded its spring session on Friday night with a 3020 win by the defense in the 2012 “Spring Fling” scrimmage. The game, which used a modified scoring format, featured a late rally by the offense, but was a defensive showcase for the most part. “I think our offense is way better than they showed today,” said senior defensive lineman Paipai Falemalu, who sat out due to injury. “Today was just not their day, but they’re really capable of doing big things, and I’m excited to see them play.” The defense led 25-3 at the end of the third quarter and held the offense scoreless on 11 of its 15 total drives, while allowing just two touchdowns.
“I thought the defense played really well and offensively, obviously, we’ve got a ways to go,” said offensive coordinator Tommy Lee. “We threw a lot at them this spring, and I thought they handled it pretty well. Obviously they weren’t where we needed to be, but the disappointing thing tonight was basically the execution of [the] plays.”
T H E BAT T L E F O R F I E L D GENERAL One key uncertainty for the Warriors is who will replace Bryant Moniz as next year’s quarterback. Junior David Graves completed 5 of 16 passes for 42 yards and one interception and rushed for 31 yards on three carries. Sophomore Jeremy Higgins went 10 of 23 for 100 yards. Freshman Ikaika Woolsey was 4 of 5 for 70 yards with 23 rushing yards on four attempts. “There’s a battle going on there,” Lee said. “We haven’t decided anything there yet, but I would say the battle’s between Graves and Higgins.” Graves finished last season as the Warriors’ starter in the final two games. In 2011, he completed 63 of 110 passes for 768 yards and five scores while also rushing for 154 yards and five touchdowns on 30 attempts. Graves was recruited by
former UH head coach Greg McMackin to play in the runand-shoot offense. He is now adjusting to the pro -style offense being implemented by current head coach Norm Chow. “I need to get some timing with the receivers,” Graves said. “We’re running a whole new route tree than what we’re used to. I got a lot of old habits from the old offense we were running.” Meanwhile, Higgins was forced to sit out last year per NCA A transfer rules after spending the 2010 season at Utah State. “Every time Coach Chow sees us, it’s an audition. I’m just trying to make the best out of every play because it can go away like that,” said Higgins. “I can’t take a day off. I’ve got to prepare like I’m a starter.”
P R E PA R I N G F O R FA L L
With the spring football season officially over, the Warriors look to keep progressing despite not having any formal practice until August. “As a team, we’re going to work hard to get more in shape,” said Falemalu. “[The] fi rst game [is] at USC, so it’s a lot to expect out of us. A lot of people are seeing us as underdogs, so we’ve got to work that much harder to play better.”
