Complaint: Mizusawa violated ASUH constitution The president of the Associated Students of the University of Hawai‘i is also chair of a system-wide student governance group, but ASUH rules say he can’t be both at the same time. That’s the argument an ASUH senator is making in a complaint he filed with the student senate earlier this year. Sen. Ryan Mandado said in the complaint, which he filed with ASUH office staff on Feb. 24, that holding both positions is grounds for removing President Richard Mizusawa from office. Mandado is a candidate for ASUH president.

A ʻC L E A R , VA L I D ʼ C O N C E R N In the document, Mandado cites Article VII, Section 1 of the ASUH Constitution, which says that “no executive officer of the ASUH may hold more than one (1) elective or appointed executive office of a Board of Regents chartered organization at any given time.” According to the ASUH website, the student senate was chartered by the UH Board of Regents in 1912. Mandado goes on to cite an article of the constitution of the University of Hawai‘i Student Caucus, which describes the organization in part as a “system-wide student association charted by the University of Hawai‘i Board of Regents.” The caucus includes two members from each of the 11 student governments across the UH system, according to the organization’s website. The body meets about nine to 10 times each school year and includes students involved in government bodies at their home campus, according to a list of the caucus’s members. The ASUH constitution states that members can be removed for “violation of the provisions of the ASUH Constitution.” Mandado said that many senators know about the rule limiting an ASUH officer’s ability to serve on other organizations chartered by the Board of Regents. “Pretty much everyone in ASUH knows you’re not supposed to have multiple (executive) positions in organizations chartered by the BOR,” he said. He said he believes the violation is a “clear, valid” one. Mandado said he has yet to receive a formal reaction from ASUH and plans to take the issue to the ASUH Supreme Court if the committee’s decision disagrees with his complaint.

“Hopefully, (the court) will figure out that what I wrote was clear,” he said. Article V of the senate’s constitution gives the court “final jurisdiction” in questions about the constitution or ASUH’s by-laws.

I N T E N T VS . L A N G UAG E But President Richard Mizusawa said the senate has already made a decision on the complaint. Mizusawa said it may “look like” he is holding two confl icting positions, but that the article Mandado cited was meant to prevent one person from holding positions at BOR-charted organizations, commonly called Chartered Student Organizations, on the Mānoa campus. “The purpose of that was so that (someone) can’t be ASUH president and Board of Publications chair,” he said, giving an example. “It’s specific to the campus itself.” He said it is common for executives from other student governments at other campuses to serve as executives on the Student Caucus. “Quite often, you’ll have someone from the ASUH serve on the executive council (of the caucus),” he said. “Most times, the people who represent ASUH on that council are the president and another executive officer. You eliminate a lot of people if you don’t allow them to have dual positions.” Mizusawa said he became chair of the Student Caucus in May 2012, shortly after he was elected to his first term as ASUH president. “I wouldn’t have taken up the caucus executive seat if I knew it was in violation of our rules here,” he said. “(I thought) I could do more good and set a vision for our system students.” After the complaint was submitted to ASUH, it was forwarded on to the senate’s internal affairs committee, according to Mizusawa. Both the chair and vice chair of the committee declined requests for interviews, but they did release a copy of the committee’s written report on the complaint. The report, dated March 19, says “the University of Hawai‘i Student Caucus is not a Chartered Student Organization,” and refers to university policy defining a CSO as charged with “serving the entire student body on its campus.” Mandado said he disagrees with the campus-specific interpretation of the constitution, noting that the language of Article VII does not give any exceptions. “It doesn’t say that,” he said.

KAMMERRAKU : BR AD DELL Features Editor Professors are more than teachers; they’re masters of their craft. Five University of Hawai‘i faculty members and composers are proving this by premiering their cross-cultural compositions on two stages.

THE SHOWS On April 4, the UH Composition Program is hosting “Kyo-ShinAn Arts: New Music for Japanese Instruments” at the Orvis Auditorium on campus. UH composers Takuma Itoh, Chance Ogawa, Takeo Kudo and Donald Reid Womack are exhibiting an intercultural mix of music that incorporates Japanese instruments and Western-style classical composition. The music is being performed by shakuhachi (Japanese ﬂute) Grand Master James Nyoraku Schlefer, as well as koto and shamisen (Japanese stringed instruments) Master Yoko Reikano Kimura. The following night, UH faculty members Itoh, Thomas Osborne and Womack are taking their work to Doris Duke Theater as part of the Honolulu Chamber Music Series. The show, called “Kammerraku,” includes performances from Schlefer and Kimura, as well as the worldfamous Cassatt String Quartet. Additionally, the Cassatt String Quartet will perform the “Quartet in F Major” by French composer Maurice Ravel. “’Kammeraku’ is a portmanteau, a combining of two different words, in this case from the German word ‘Kammermusik’ (meaning chamber music) and the Japanese ‘raku’, which is one reading of the kanji for ‘music,’” Womack said in an email interview. “The word perfectly captures what we’re doing, which is combining instruments of two very different musical traditions, European and Japanese, in order to create something fresh, new and exciting. “Both of these concerts are the work of the music composi-

tion program, and are part of our mission as world leaders in intercultural composition.”

THE COMPOSITIONS Itoh will be performing his piece, “The Distance of the Moon.” The work is inspired by a short story of the same name by Italo Calvino. In the story, the earth and moon were once close enough that a ladder could be used to travel between the two bodies. Eventually, the moon began to drift away, making it difficult for the moon-crossers to make the journey. “I found the premise of the story to be a great representation of how I could approach a work that used both traditional Japanese instruments (shakuhachi and koto) and the string quartet,” Itoh said in an email interview. “Historically, these two sound worlds have rarely interacted in proximity, but in this work, I wanted to imagine a musical language that would allow me to freely mingle and hover between the two.” Although he has won many awards and has even been featured in NPR Music’s “100 Composers Under 40,” this is Itoh’s first piece written for Japanese instruments. Womack, winner of almost 100 grants, awards and commissions, has created a work for Friday’s concert called “Breaking Heaven,” which is “based on Bushido, the moral code of the samurai.” The piece is a trio for shakuhachi, koto and cello. For Saturday, he has put together a sextet with shakuhachi, shamisen and string quartet called “The Floating Bridge of Heaven,” which draws its influence from ancient Japanese mythology. “I used the idea of a floating bridge that connected heaven and earth as a metaphor for connecting the two musical worlds of these instruments,” Womack said. Womack has created more than 80 works, with about 30 of them being Japanese. Osborne composed a piece

Intercultural harmony brought to stage by UH composers

for shakuhachi, koto and string quartet titled “Window Seat.” “The piece is quite visual: It’s a series of musical portraits of sights seen out the window of an airplane,” Osborne said. “The music portrays the shapes of mountains, oceans and clouds, all seen from far above. It’s a musical journey that starts on the ground, ascends to 30,000 feet and then touches down again.”

Osborne has written numerous works drawing inf luence from all around the world and spent “2012-13 in Seoul, writing compositions that combine Western and Korean instruments. “I think people will be surprised by the music,” Womack said. “If you think Japanese instruments only play slow and boring music, you’ll very much ﬁnd out otherwise at these two concerts.”

Both of these concerts are the work of the music composition program and are part of our mission as world leaders in intercultural composition. – DONALD REID WOMACK

‘Edible Book Contest’ puts tasty tinge on literature

“Is graffiti art or vandalism?” K RISTEN PAUL BONIFACIO Associate Opinions Editor

Man on the

STREET

People debate whether graffiti is considered art or vandalism. Supporters of graffiti argue that, just like all other types of art, it is a form of street art that artists use to express their creativity. And with artists such as Banksy receiving international recognition for their graffiti work, graffiti has made an impact in the art world. However, some believe that it is nothing but an eyesore. Those who oppose graffiti state that it is vandalism that defaces public places. In the islands, it has become a major problem. According to a report by Hawai‘i News Now, the Department of Transportation spends about $50,000 cleaning up graffiti on Hawai‘i’s freeways and street roads each year.

The University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s Hamilton Library held its fourth annual Edible Book Contest on Tuesday. The International Edible Book Festival has been celebrated in libraries around the world on April 1 since 2000. The event was ﬁ rst held in France in 1999 as a tribute to French politician Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, who studied the science of taste. The event is a celebration of books, food and culture. Previous year’s winners have included many popular books such as the Hunger Games series. “Last year’s winner made a Mockingjay cake, and afterward, she was contacted by the ﬁlm company to make 300 cupcakes with the design for one of their parties,” Library Outreach Coordinator Teri Skillman said. Stephanie Welin, the lead advisor for the activities council, attended and has high hopes for increased student participation in next year’s event. “We are thinking of partnering with the library and having students make the cakes in Campus Center and supply them the ingredients, then bring the cakes over to the library,” she said.

She said she thinks the collaboration will help spread awareness about the event, and the Campus Center location will have good foot trafﬁ c. Organizers hope to replicate the success of other past student cooking events such as Chopped. Visitors could give either $1 or one canned good to cast a ballot and taste the cakes. All donations went directly to the Hawai‘i Foodbank. This year’s standout cake was a take on Eric Carle’s children’s classic “The Very Hungry Catepillar” designed by Kelly Yoshida. It won the public vote people’s choice award almost unanimously and won the judge’s prize for “Best Book in UH Library.” The other entry was of the 2014 UH Manoa Catalogue and was designed by student Soﬁ a Mustelin and won the “Most Book Like” award. As there were few entries this year, librarian and head of rare books preservation Lynn Davis put out a dish of Dove chocolate and titled it “Lonesome Dove” after the Pulitzer Prize-winning book and placed it next to copies of the cover. It was given the prize of “Best Use of Chocolate and Audible Arts.” The event attracted students, librarians and members of the public, along with visitors from a local elementary school.

“I believe it’s art. It’s a way for somebody to express their feelings that people can’t understand. It’s a way to get creative, and having people view it as vandalism is just suppressing their creativity.” Christian Gamponia Sophomore, Pre-nursing

“I think it’s vandalism. If they want to make it art, they can just put it on paper and draw it, and they can say it’s art. But if it’s somewhere where it’s public, it doesn’t make the public place look good.” Galen Slaughter Sophomore, English

“I don’t think of it as vandalism. It (graffiti) becomes an outlet to express yourself.” Abraham Kahale Senior, Social work

“I don’t like grafﬁti. I think it’s vandalism.” Rachel Randall, Senior, Human nutrition

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Why Stop At Booze?

The March 31 op ed by Ms. Takeya proposes to ban alcohol at University of Hawai‘i sporting events. I say, “Great.” But really, why stop at beer? I think we should also ban the pretzels, nachos and hot dogs. Maybe the sodas too. Because these things lead to cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure and diabetes. Just think, people can eat three hot dogs, a whole bowl of nachos with extra cheese and slug a forty ounce soda at one game. Then…Kanak Attack! As someone is walking by the stairs, God forbid, she may tumble down. As of yet, there has not been a junk food related disaster at any sporting event, but do we really need to wait until something bad happens before deciding to make a change? Many counties and states are making statements across the nation, and even New York now limits soda sizes, so a new approach is

not unprecedented. I say, nothing but raw kale and spring water at the games from now on. Or instead, we could enforce the code of conduct for our student body that is already in place, as it states, “Public intoxication is expressly prohibited. Use, possession, manufacturing or distribution of alcoholic beverages by any person under twenty-one (21) years of age is expressly prohibited.” (IV.B.13) If this rule is adopted, when someone is “publicly intoxicated” and either unable to walk or causing havoc, you could call the police and possibly an ambulance. And, as stated in the “Sanctions” section of the code of conduct, that person can go on academic probation or suspension. Rather than prolonging youthful self-indulgence, UH should act more proactively to craft responsible, knowledgeable and thoughtful citizens. BRYN VILLERS Graduate student

Sports Men’s volleyball faces longtime rival BYU in home finale

H AYLEY MUSASHI Associate Sports Editor @HayleyElyse With the top conference seed already in hand, No. 2 Brigham Young University heads to the Aloha State to combat the Rainbow Warrior volleyball team in Hawai‘i’s final homestand of the season, continuing the schools’ storied rivalry. Two teams with a fl air for the dramatic will face off for the fi rst time since a five-set defeat in last year’s Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Tournament brought the Warriors’ season to a close. In a season highlighted by fiveset thrillers, the Rainbow Warriors found themselves on the wrong side of the result in the 2013 MPSF tournament quarterfi nals. In a marathon that lasted more than two and a half hours, the ‘Bows fell in the fi rst set, fought back to take the next two, but were easily overtaken in the fi nal pair, giving the Cougars the 3-2 win.

No. 10 Hawai‘i (13-10, 11-9 MPSF) has not played at home since falling to reigning national champions UC Irvine on March 7 and 9. The Warriors now return from a pair of series against Stanford and Paciﬁc and their ﬁ rst bye week of the season last week. The Cougars (18-4, 18-2 MPSF) return to the court after claiming a four-set victory over UCLA last Saturday for their sixth consecutive win, clinching at least a share of the MPSF regular-season crown for the second consecutive season. The Cougars’ victory secured the top seed in the postseason and was the earliest

a team has clinched the top spot in MPSF history. For its performance, BYU will have home court advantage throughout the tournament. “We’re most deﬁnitely looking forward to getting revenge from a heartbreaking loss,” sophomore libero Kolby Kanetake said. “This is a great opportunity for us because we’re vying for a playoff spot, and we control our own destiny.”

N OW O R N E V E R With only four games remaining in the Warriors’ regular season, UH sits in ninth place in the conference standings and needs to ﬁ nish in the top eight to qualify for the tournament. However, Hawai‘i’s standing in conference doesn’t necessarily ref lect its strengths as team, highlighted by a pair of sweeps over Pacific two weeks ago, when the Warriors played without their top two hitters when Sinisa Zarkovic was given the night off and Brook Sedore came down with an ankle injury. The replacements stepped up and eventually went on to hit a .405 clip, making quick work of the Tigers. “The team’s attitude is to play every point like it’s our last, and of course to win,” junior libero Garrett Komisarek said. “We know it is going to be a battle against a very good team, and we are obviously the underdog, but we are ready to battle until the last point of the match. These last games are extremely important, and we know we have to win to make playoffs.”

BAT T L E AT T H E N E T The Cougars are led by two-

time All-American and 2013 MPSF Player of the Year Taylor Sander, who drilled 50 kills during the weekend, hitting .500 and recording a new career-high of eight block assists against UC Santa Barbara. With that performance, the 6-foot-4 senior garnered MPSF and Sports Imports/AVCA Player of the Week honors, the ﬁ fth conference and third national weekly honor of his career. Sander is currently second in the nation in kills per set with 4.7. The Cougars have swept the series in each of the past three seasons. Hawai‘i was last victorious in 2010, taking both matches in Honolulu. “Of course we would love to come out and sweep BYU in three, but we are both two very good teams, and it is going to be a very intense battle between us,” Komisarek said. “It all comes down to who wants it more and can execute at the right times. We’re ready to leave everything on the court.”
