Taking Trask to task M

any students' first perspective of a university is that of an eradicator of discrimination and prej udice rather tha n a ch ief offe nde r.

When the latter is the case, the victims a re compelled to bring attention to the situation and dispel the myths that foster such bigotry.

But when new myths are produced from inaccurate statements, over-emotional rhetoric a nd outright bias, a new level of intolerance emerges and creates more problems than it solves.

Such was the case with none other than guest speaker HaunaniKay Trask at the forum in the Campus Center on "Sex, Race and Lies: What the Administration Won't Tell You." If you had been fortunate enough to hear her particular critique ofthisverynewspaperyou're reading, you would've discovered that Ka Leo is, in her words, "a very bad newspaper" filled with "anti-local and anti-Hawaiian column s" and "doesn't address student concerns."

Not too long ago Trask was overwhelmed with sex paranoia in describing haole tourists as sexually repressed animals who voyeuristically d esire naked Hawaiian bodies found on the beaches a nd the Waikiki hula shows. Alth ough her remarks today embold greater maturity, her comments and actions toward Ka Leo exhibit a fierce regression into her primordial past.

First, T rask accused Ka Leo of fai ling to address student concerns. Whatever these concerns Trask may have had in mind, she chose not to specify.

Trask also d irected outrage at Ka Leo for printing two articles

by R icha rd Cohen a nd Joey Carter- two white men whom she accused of being anti-local and a nti-Hawaiian. Cohen, a writer for a national syndicate, did not once mention Hawaiians or locals but addressed the problem of blaming all whites for all the racial problems of society. Carter's article too k this a step further and urged people to deal with each other not according to race classifications but as com-

plex individuals. Sucjl a position would weaken Trask's carefully prepared agerxla, so as a result she panicked.

Where is it written that individuals cannot express their observations, their feelings, their very experiences of racism if they happen to be white and male? It's foolish enough for Trask to condemn such writers for merely expressing their opinions, but to condemn Ka Leo for allowing them the freedom toexpresssuch

Trask would come across as a lot more believable if she would spend her time actually fightina the system rather than pimping the system. What do I mean by this? How about Trask receivinr her education on the Mainlan6 a nd then vehemently disparaging the same country that supported and funded her research? Ho-w about routinely criticizing both Ka Leo and the Star-Bulletin as "bad newspapers" while eager 1 for interviews by both publica· tions and frequently submitting articles?

Now more than ever it's imper· ative for Trask to understand that white people are not her nemesis, but rather those who refuse to accept and treat other people as individuals.

The Civil Rights activists of25 years ago realized this and thus their motto was: "Judge me not for my color, but for what I can do." Ironically, the civil agitators of today turn full circle and say, "Judge me for my color."

Trask has already proven her· opinions is downright ludicrous. self to be a role model and spokes· Does Trask seek to infer that person for Native Hawaiians and racial prejudice toward whites, minorities everywhere - which especially white males, is justi- makes her all the more dangerous fied? J ust what are Trask's if her ignorance and hypocrisy motives-equality or reve nge? imminently transforms her speech· Does she intend to bring the races es into the inarticulate frustra· together, or instead divide the tions of just another attentionraces so she can satisfy her own seeking, lippy-extremist who at the very least feels disenfranchised. private agerxla?

Speaking as an individual who By far the most laughable and erroneous of her statements was was predestined to be a white when she dema rxled that "the male, I have great admiration for students should take over the all who are proud .of their ethnic newspaper." Anyone with the background and fight for their strength and the brain power to rights. I also know the difference flip through a Ka Leo copy can between respecting one's race and easily attest that the staff is com- exploiting it to deny the liberty of posed entirely of undergraduate others. and grad uate students, and the If Trask truly wishes to address newspaper gladly accepts contri- the grim social reaper known as butions f rom any and all faculty racism in a fair and just manner, then she should Jearn to take criti· members, including Trask.

Only one of the ten senior ed itors is haole, and hapa Grant Crowell, a sophomore in at that. So as hard as Trask may art, is a contributing cartoonist try to create the illusion of a and writer for Ka Leo.

Editorials and Opinions

Ka Leo criticism by Trask is unjustified Two weeks ago, the New Affirmative Action Coalition sponsored a forum on-racial and sexual discrimination in the University of Hawaii system. Haunani-Kay Trask, director of the Center for Hawaiian Studies and a panel member, exp ressed several valid points when addressing the university's hiring practices.

Unfortunately, Trask was not as consistent in her comments that pertained to Ka Leo 0 Hawaii, the campus newspaper. Trask criticized Ka Leo's coverage, citing Ka Leo's failure to cover student-related issues.

Ka Leo is the first to admit that there is always room fo r improvement. A primary goal at Ka Leo is complete coverage of all student-related issues. Unfortunately, this is not always possible.

The newspa per operates in the same manner as a ny business. It is limited by the same, if not mo re, types of restrictio ns, such as manpower, funding and resources.

Ka Leo tries to consistently cover the meetings of all UH policy making bod ies-meetings that de termine a ll aspects of student life on campus. Ka Leo has a nd still is followi ng the issue of sexual harassment. Ka Leo's editorials recognize student issues and fervently seek solutions. Ka Leo's pages have served and always will serve the university community.

Trask's other comments urging students to ta keover the paper fail to recognize that Ka Leo is ma naged completeJy by students.

This is a policy that Ka Leo a bides by religiously. Ka Leo'sstudent staff takes full respo nsibility forthe pa per's ed itorial decisions. No UH administrator(male, Caucasia n o r otherwise) may te ll Ka Leo what to pri nt or not to print.

Trask referred to Ka Leo as being managed by a "white-male hierarchy." Currently, there are ten senior editors atKa Leo, half of whom are women. We d o have a Caucasia n ed itor, but he is half-Sri La nka n. Supposedly, he is our token "white-male" member.

Dis! Trask would like to set he r own age nda for Ka Leo. So would USA ~ just about everybody else. onlya1 Fortunately, Ka Leo chooses to serve the student populace and WASJ not legislators, admi nistrators or faculty members who always nonvic Wh1 seem to know better. Ka Leo takes its responsibilities seriously.

Our writers a nd editors abide by a strict cod e of ethics, adopted by math the P( the America n Society of Newspaper Editors, to insure that inforshe or ma tion is correctly dessiminated a nd accurately comm unicated. sta nd Ka Leo would like to tha nk Trask for her insights. H owever, at throw this time, Ka Leo is neither a house orga n for the administration, a a path laboratory for the journalism department or free publicity for the Am faculty. Nor, in all respect, will it ever be Ka Leo 0 Trask. But Ka ti n ue Pinoc Leo will continue to inform those for whom Ka Leo truly servesKhon the students of the University of Hawaii at Manoa.

The current system. called ALOHA. will be replaced by UHCARL. which will aJiow ''the advent of networking to share resources and to be able to extend the hbrary's service capabilities locally. nat1onally and antemationally. ·· according to a memo released by Associate University of Hawaii Libranan Jean Ehrhom Mochida said this system switch was a " multimillion dollar change" and was needed because the company that installed the ALOHA system did not provide .. supeort to enhance the older system. • The memo stated. UHCA RL "will contain all the records from the ALOHA database plus approximately 350,000 addatlonal titles ...

Another special feature of the new system will be UnCover, wh1ch the memo defines as ·•a keyword index to tables of contents for approximately 10.000 journals." and " this on-line index to over I million articles mcludes some titJes before they have been published."

Mochida said the system is "supposed to be easier to use." but workshops. instructions and instructors at the terminals will help students adjust to the new way of book searching.

Victims unsure of filing assault charges against ' former athlete

by Sihl Chung l<.lleo ~nior Staff Wnter

A former University of Hawaii football player allegedly assaulted two females at the Hale Noelani apartments Sun-

day at I :30 a.m.

According to a Campus Security report, Larry Jones and two friends arrived at Noelani resident Riva C. Simmons' party uninvited around I a.m.

Simmons said she asked one of Jones' friends. a local male whom she did not recognize, to leave. " He said he was a friend of Larry's,- she said in an interview. She then told"Jones to ask his friends to leave. "Larry said, ' I have no control over my friends.· " she said.

The long lines at the Student Academic Services in Hawaii Hall haven't ceased since the start of registration five days ago. Although this scene seems familiar, this time it's a bit different.

Previously. the College of Arts and Sciences had three full-time advisers meeting with about 9,000 undergraduates.

This fall . five new advisers have been added to the work force in the hopes that these advisers - four fu iJ-time and one

part-time will relieve the advising strain.

Rodney Sakaguchi. director of the budget office, said the 1989 and 1990 state Legislatures appropriated about SIOO,OOO to fund four permanent positions.

The two appropriations will fund salaries, computer equipment and supplies, Sakaguchi said.

Je.anette Estes, Nancy Kayuk, David Smith, Barbara Watanabe and Margit Watts were hired over the last two months. This brings the total number of advisers to eight.

Kay Reynolds, the associate dean of arts and sciences, said the new employees are in intensive training under the direction of head adviser Joyce Settle, and they have been " participating actavely in the advising process."

Students allege discrimination Trask students say philosophy head was unfair to Trask-backers

by Meflla Ishikawa 1<.1 Leo Sfon•or Staff Wnrer

Fhe Uni-.ersity of Hawaii graduate students have filed complaints with the dean of stu· dents and have requested a formal investigation of Philosophy Department Chairman Larry Laudan·s supposed d is-

criminatory actions.

Antoinette Freitas. Douglas Margolis, Annette Mente, Manuwai Peters and G. Terry Young filed complaints charging Laudan with discrimination based on race/color and national origin.

They aJso feel they are being discriminated against because they are c;tudents of Professor Haunani Trask.

The students filed their complaints Dec. 12 in response to numerous stutements made by Laudan on KHPR radio. KITV Channel 4 news.

KHET tele'w ision, KHON Channel 2 ne\\S and to the Honolulu Advertiser and Star-Bulletin.

They stated in their complaints that Laudan had misrepresented and distorted Trask's statements, thus creating an intimidating. anti-Haw-.Uian atmosphere for students or Trask as well as others \\ho share the same political .. iews.

They also said Laudan had wrongly and irresponsibly characterized them as 'terrorists" and 'mongers of hate.'

They are seeking corrective action by means of a public apology from Laudan to them and other students of Trask .

Freitas. Peters. Margolis and Young ha'we requested an offi· cia1 public reprimand from the University o f Hawaii admin-

istration. Peters bas requested Laudan's removaJ from his position as chainnan of the philosophy department. ··1 feel that this antiHawaiian, pro-violence cam· paign that Professor Laudan is waging against native Hawaiians at the University of Hawaii is discriminatory because it singles us out as targets for threats and violence.·· Peters stated in his complaint.

While willing to discuss "larger issues,.. Laudan would not comment on the matter and said that .. while the ~rievance is under cons1dern 1 ::-m. 1t would be inappropriate ul discuss it."

Freitas. a graduate student in

Pacific Island Studies. stated in her complaint that Laudan ''is sending a message that if students don't agree with his way of thinking or if a student agrees with Professor Trask. then they do not belong on the university campus. This is intimidation!"

Margolis. a graduate student in political science, stated in his complaint that he was "harassed and intimidated" by Laudan at a Nov. 2 rallv at Sakamaki Hall by "publicly· declaring that my peaceful actions were ' terroristic' and a 'brand of r.tdicalism' that doesn' t belong on a university campus.

More security over concern of violence Manoa Garden had to close early due to 'skinheads' threats

by Frank Iverson Ka leo Reporrer

Concerns over possible violence from anti-\\ar demonstrators and counterdemonstrators ha'.e led to increased security measures on the university cumpus.

Campus secunty Ia t week increased the number of guard:. around the Army and Air Force ROTC buildings, according to ROTC instructor Capt. Bryan Stever.

An extra guard \\as added to Campus Security's usual tv.o-man patrol in the area because the state felt the buildings might be subject to vandalism and/or lire. Ste\er said .

Ste\er said UH ROTC buildmgs have been set on lire twice in the Ia t ~0 year:<>.

Once during the Vietnam War and once in 1986. Ste\er sa1d the motive for the 5\..~ond attack is not known.

Both buildings belonged to the Arm) ROTC. The first lire was set v.hen the ROTC buildings were on upper campus and the second after they had been

mo\ ed to lower campus.

Stever said funds for the extra guard are conung from the state. adding that it is <:heaper for the state to pay for C:\tra security than perhaps a new buildmg ln an unrelated security measure, Manoa Garden \\BS forced to close early last Thursday 11nd Frida) night after recei\ ing threau from "skinheads," according 10 manager Bridget A wong.

Av.:ong said the cafeteria recei\ed phone calls Thursday from people claimmg to be skinheads. threatening to " trash" the place. A wong said she su:;pected the skinheads might have v.:anted to attack Manoa Garden because of peace demonstrators who had gathered there earlier.

Manoa Garden regularly closes at 8 p.m. on weekdays but closed at 6:30 p.m . on Thursday and Friday to avoid possible vtolence. Awong .said . " I closed the place earlv to avoid an'!thing that might happen. i was also v.:,)rried about my staff and didn't need any hassles.- she satd.

Makana Chock, a bartender at Manoa Garden. said they did not recieve any further threats, and there was no dama2e done to Manoa Garden over the Y.eekend.

She al:.o said she thought the threats would stop be\.--ause protestors ha\e not been prominent at the Garden since last \\eek.

Those University of Hawaii students fortunate enough to receive on-campus housing this semester should thank their lucky stars.

According to James Burgoyne, director of student hou.~g. the number of qualified students for on-campus housing continues to e~ceed the space av-oiilablc.

He said students from neighbor islands and those of rural Oahu are given p~iority depending upon their location \lilth re peel to the UH campus. Along with geographical qualifications, the student housing office also operates on a first-come. first-serve basis when dealing wuh applications, R rro ne also satd tudents v.: ho enter t e v t"'"!'lt~ e:-o \ e the ~;ummer

Last semester the shortage of on-campus housing reached be~ond the unhersity communit). as visitmg students participating in the National Student Exchange Program found themselves sleeping on roll-away beds in dormitory study areas.

Laune Furutani. a~ signmcnt officer for tudent housing, said that some of the exchange student:; declined to sleep in the study areas.

GJen Muranaka was more fortunate. but from the look on his face it was apparent that he too was not a happy camper.

A junior in business. Muranaka paid SI:S6 for ..seven or eight"texts. .. It seems like J'm paying a lot, but there's nothing you can do about it except look for used books,"he said philosophically.

Muranaka said he plans on selling his books to lhe bookstore at the semester's end, only this time successfully. Last fall Muraoaka said he was thwarted in his attempts when new editions of the tellS came out.

Travel management student Lisa Chun looked for used books and found them. Yet, to her dis·

may she still spent $225.

"How do they expect us to pay?"she asked.

"We're just students."

While students cringed, University of Hawaii Bookstore director Wayne Fujishige empathized.

Fujishige said he understands the concern students have regarding costs, pointing out he was once in the same situation.

He said the bookstore "tries bard" to keep prices down but that prices are. for the most part, determined by the publishers .

Fujisbige explained the store is a self-support· ing entity not covered by the State of Hawaii's general fund.

"The State doesn't give us a whole bunch of money," he said.

As such. the bookstore is like any other business. A profit is welcome but not expected. He said breaking e ...-en is the aim.

Fujishige said a 20 percent markup is tacked on to book prices if the bookstore received a discount from distributors for freight. handhng and storage costs. 1f not, the store sells book at a suggested retail listing.

Either way, students would pay a price similar to that of the bookstore.

As for the grumbling. Fujishige suggested students look at the "overall perspective''-that the cost of textbooks is part of one's educational investment.

"They'll probably earn that money back in an hour,'' Fujishige said .

Mente. a graduate student in urban and regional planning. filed her complaint because ''his (Laudan's) remarks have made us targets for white hatred, open hostility and veiled sarcasm."

"The efreda of t.ud•'s iaflammatory remarks have been devastating. His irresponsible remarb are a wiJiful distortion meant to rally suppon for Laudan's aim to remove and sileoce Trask. But the effect has

been to encourage more racism against Hawaiians and locals both on and off campus," she stated .

Peters, a graduate student in Pacific Island studies, stated in his complaint that Laudan bas indirectly created an atmosphere of intimsdation for Trask's students.

"Now, I come to school everyday with a fear that 1, too, may suffer the same intimidation and investigations that Trask is now a victim of. It is a dear message to me that I cannot express my political views as a native Hawaiian without facing repercussions in the form of threats, administrative investigations. or worse, physical violence," Peters stated

Young. a gr.tduate student in history, stated in his complaint that his education at the University of Hawaii had been disrupted by Laudan.

"Dr. Laudan's recommendation that Dr. Trask be removed constitutes racial harassment against me on the grounds that my already narrow range of options for culturally appropriate role models of Hawaii leadership would be virtually eliminated on the Manoa campus," be stated in his complaint.

The complaints were ftled with Dean of Students Thomas Gething. Gething is presently attending the NASPA Conference and was not available for comment.

Letters to the Editor List en and talk I am writing in response to a contribution in Ka Leo ·s column "Letters to the Editor," Dec. 12. 1990. This is at least the second time lhat somebody proposed a comparison between the actions and attitudes of Haunani Trask and those of Adolf Hitler, and I will not reference either one of them. since I am not interested in singling out and attacking indi\iduals for participating in a debate that is obviously needed and urgent.

The comparison between Trask. and Hitler is. to say the least. cynical and misleading.

Hatler. in his megalomanic and sickening pursuit of a new world order. tried to expand the influence and power of an already 50\treign nation . The German people wath their underlying tendenc\ to obedience and Juenucliacal order followed him and his totalitarian machinerv through to th!! ''bitter end.:.

Ka Leo 0 Hawai'i

Friday, May 3, 1991

Letters to the Editor Mahalo Ka Leo I was pleasantly surprised to see Kaleikoa Ka'eo's column in Haw.Uian in Ka Leo la!>t Thursday, but even more pleased by the thoughtfuJ and supporuvc editorial on Frida¥.

1 oo often on this campus: as else" here an the state, there has been theorellcal support for the perpetuation of Hawaiian langua~ and culture and its concom.Hant value system, but reluctance to do anything practical to make that support real.

I apprectate Ka Leo's \loilling· ne~s to make a practical commitment to publishirig articles in Hawaiian, and I recognize that the decision mvolved putting aside any personal feelings of hurt and biuernes!'>.

You are probably right in anticipating criticism from some quarters, which may result in more pain to you and your staff. but rest assured that it is in a good cause.

As the massage lady said while she kneaded her client's muscles, ''Sore, but good sore, yeah'?''

Sometimes to fix things in the long run. we have to be uncomfortable for a while.

Opinion piece sparks campus 'hate' stickers Thank you for printing my article about eating meat, the environment and animal rights groups on Friday, April 26.

The truth must have offended someone because by Saturday, April 27, I had two ·•hate" stickers on my otT~ee door.

In light of the recent controversy about other "hate" leaflets on campus, referring to Dr. Trask and others, I thought it important to bring this incident to the campus' attention.

Based upon the criminal history of the radicaJ animal rights movement, I feel it necessary to look upon this incident as something more than a harmless "prank."

For example, on April 2, J989, animal rights activists b roke into and torched an animal facility at the University of Ariz.ona-Tucson - damage estimated at $100,000.

On July 4. 1989, there was a break-in and theft at a laboratory at the Texas Tech University Health Science Center in Lubbock. Equipment was

destroved and data v.ere stolen -- damage esumated between $50,000 to S70.000.

On April 16. 1987, the Veterinary Dtagnostic Laborato!Y at the University of California, Davis was destroved bv a fire set by animal right; activists; cost to replace this facilit) - S5 million.

Since 1981. accordmg to the National Association of Biomedical Research. more than 90 serious criminal acts have been committed by these terrorists: and not JUSt property crimes.

Animal rights activists target mdividuaJ researchers and their families with bate death

Will any of thi.., happen to me because I speak out against the radical ammal rights movement? l hope not.

Nothing wrong with Murakami but Smith ...

I would like to direct this letter to Broc Smith, the great art critic who cut down Jon Murakami in the April 25 issue ofK.a Leo. I must speak out and defend Murakami's comic strip. I think be is ooo of the best Ka Leo hu.

True, sometimes his stories are a little weak. but this happens to even the pros.

1 can't really comment too much on the writing side because I'm no writer. However. I have been a fan of Pidgin to da Max for a long time, and L can tell you that the similarities between theirs and Murakami's style are so slight, if not nonexistent.

You don't even have to study the two for two seconds to know there is a difference in style. Now, I'm not a very good artist, in fact I think I suck! But I'm getting tired of heanng people say. "I can do better

than that!"

Jt's a spineless comment unless it can be proven. Anyone can say, ·• I can do better than that," but how many actually can? The point is Mr. Art Expert, prove it!

I challenge you to do better.

Go ahead and submit an illustration or a cartoon! I don't

cally protest the infantile whining.'> of one Broc Smith in the April 24 issue of Ka Leo. While 1 realize that any journalist or artist csn benefit from constructive criticism. Srruth reaches a level of mean-spiritedness that belies the ktnd of maturity any college student should have, much Jess a junior in "liberal studies." lo his letter, Smith appears to be dissatisfied with Jon Murakami's handling of the -sensitive issue" of male bonding: some gobbledegook about "unspoken fraternities," "life and death issues. ., and ''honest and intelligent men."

What puzzles me is how a cartoon about burping could send this guy into a name~ng f.-otb. All r can say to that is: Lighten up! It's a cartoon, ferchrissake!

In a world filled with crass injustice!, I am utoUDded that Smith is so incredibly offended by b~ing (as if his body doesn't contribute any emissions to our environment) that be has taken it upon himself to defend the integnty of the male mystique by insulting Ka Leo cartoonists.

The life of a cartoonist has its frustrations and rewards. Nothing is more rewarding than having classmates, professors or even complete strangers compliment your work.

Meeting deadlines and taking criticism promotes profes· sionatism and artistic development. But I'm sure most artists would agree that the most annoying criticism is " I could do better."

1•m not against that sentiment. I've felt that way too. But at least I. and other Ka Leo cartoonists like Jon Murakami and Grant Crowell, made the effort to make it better.

Smith's beUvaching gets no sympathy from· me. H he feels be

can handle issues near and dear to his heart (like male bonding) better than anyone currently being published. I welcome his efforts.

Otherwise. he should keep his insensitive and vacuous charges to himself.

llea:rn and eat at same place Big mahalos to aU who attended the Graduate Student Organization Friends of University of Hawaii at Manoa Ubraries fuodraiser last Friday night. The party was a big success and was enJoyed by all.

We don't have an exact dollar amount to report, but it is certain that we dido 't raise the es-

timated S53 million required to build Phase lll of Hamilton Library.

Therefore, I bave a suggestion for AI Simone and the regents.

Hamilton Library is extremely short of study space. Right next door, Hamilton Snack Bar stands vacant and idle from 2:30 p.m. on.

Why not utilize this space and open it up for Hamilton over-

flow?

Students could spread out more and still have fairly handy access to Hamilton ·s coUection (something that is definitely lacking at Sinclairs' after hours study area), Any extra expense could even be passed on to Marriott: They could open a coffee and snack concession and make a bundle.
