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
through the College Opportunities Program are also gnen high pnorit) . 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. "I assume that they found housing ofT campus,,. she saic.J. While the initiative has been taken to increase student housing fac1lities on campus. the effort may have a hit a wall. According to Doris Ching, vice president for student atTatrs. funding for the additional student housing facilit} was included in the imtial budget the UH administration handed to the go'femor.

The 614-page textbook is required reading for his Marketing 331 class. 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 .

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. But I now feel some of the anger that Dr. Trask must have felt when she was targeted. It's scary and it really makes you angry.

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. DebAoki 1989 U H alumna
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.
