Prosecutor forum brings candidates to UH

Radhanath Swami, spiritual leader, to speak at UH LYNN NAK AGAWA News Editor

ILLUSTRATION BY WILL CARON

A LICIA PARTRIDGE Staff Writer Candidates running for Honolulu City Prosecutor will be on campus to speak in an open forum about their platforms and plans for the city today from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Campus Center courtyard.

Campus Center Board and the Mānoa Pre -L aw Association are hosting this event, with A SUH president A ndrew Itsuno moderating. Candidates Dar win Ching, Keith K aneshiro, and Don Pac arro are attending.

“There is certainly a lot of coverage on the gubernatorial and mayoral candidates,

and we wanted to give people the opportunity hear what the candidates for prosecutor have to say,” said Rich Kodama, Campus Center Board President.

With the primar y elections drawing near, the pressure to choose a candidate has increased and with little media coverage focusing on the prosecutor position, choosing one of these candidates could be dif f icult. T he Campus Center Board wants to help.

“We hope that this forum will allow UH Mānoa students as well as the community to become more familiar with the candidates for Honolulu City Prosecutor and, moreover, where they stand on the issues,”

Kodama said.

This event also aims to educate about the prosecutor’s position in government.

Currently no other forums are scheduled for other positions or candidates.

“Feel free to come ask questions, voice your opinions, and get more involved in the upcoming elections. This will be a great opportunity to learn about the role of City Prosecutor and gain a better understanding on the candidates’ platforms on various issues,” Kodama said.

Any further questions about this event can be forwarded to Rich Kodama at rtkodama@hawaii.edu

At 19-years-old, an age when most teenagers are starting college, Richard Slavin embarked on a trip across Europe, the Middle East, and India on a journey that would strengthen his religious beliefs and forever alter his outlook on life.

Slavin, now known as Radhanath Swami, has spent years meditating with yogis and mystics in the Himalayas. He has met Mother Teresa, the current Dalai Lama, and S. N. Goenka, teacher of Vipassana meditation, and other religious practitioners.

“What deeply impressed me about (Mother Teresa and the Dalai Lama) was their compassion and how they had dedicated their life to the service of others. In the case of the Dalai Lama, to his people who were living as exiles, and with Mother Teresa for the poor people, both poor in heart as well as poor in wealth.

“They dedicated their lives to uplift and give encouragement and hope to others,” he said.

Radhanath was born in Chicago to Jewish parents. He has studied Judaism, Christianity, Islam and other faiths he has encountered through his travels.

“The rituals, explanations and the customs of the various religions of the world obviously differ but the essence, the purpose and the goal of all of these traditions is very much the same. “(It’s) to become moral, to become compassionate, and to really connect to our relationship with God, to learn to love God, and be an instrument of that love in our life,” he said.

University, they’re in the room. When we’re not on the same page, they sit in the back of the room, or, worse yet, they’re not invited.

So that’s step number one.

Step number two is to make sure that funds that go for education, or are supposed to go for education are released for education, and they’re done in a timely basis; that raids are not being done for funds for education across the board. I pride myself that when I was the mayor of Honolulu we ran one of the best fi scal counties in America, if you will. We left it in better shape than I found it. Highest bond rating in the state, no negative watch, low risk auditee, clean audits — we saved money, we didn’t raid funds. All those things gave us high marks and we got rid of wasteful spending. I think that’s exactly what the next governor has to do with the President and the Board of Regents to make sure it’s run more like a business, where it’s transparent, open, and

Civil Unions: considers marriage as sacred to a man and a woman, but is willing to work with Legislature on extending rights to all.

Traffic: Behind the Honolulu Rail Project.

Homelessness: Wants to focus on preventing homelessness, plans to work with state agencies to create low-income housing.

Hawaiian Sovereignty: Supports Akaka Bill, willing to mediate talks for Native Hawaiians.

Public Education: Seeks fl exibility from unions, school board and administration to focus on the children.

Economy: 10-Point Plan including tourism, mass transit, and an audit of the State.

I N T E RV I E W: Ethan Porter: We at UH are feeling the crunch of budget cuts: teachers are being let go, class sizes are increasing, and tuition is getting higher every year. As governor, how do you plan on helping the University?

ETHAN PORTER / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Hannemann hopes to give the UH system president a place in the cabinet, if he’s elected governor.

Mufi Hannemann: First thing is to make the president (of the University) a full-fl edged member of the cabinet. Sounds like it’s easier said than done, but I really believe that unless the governor is committed to have the pres-

ident of the University of Hawai‘i and the Superintendent of (the Board of) Education as full fl edged members of the cabinet, then everything else is going to be just talk.

Because if you’re saying that the best

investment that you can make for our future is education, you’ve got to walk parallel with those two individuals. And I think we have been too willy-nilly with it in the past: when we get along with the President of the

ity, honesty and wisdom about life and love,” said Ruikar in an e-mail.

“After reading his book, I realized there is intense effort to reach that level of deep realizations. Believing everyone can benefit in their pursuit of happiness by learning from his example, I invited him to share his experience with the UH community at large and he graciously accepted the invitation. I hope many people take advantage of his talk here.”

Radhanath Swami is the author of the book “The Journey Home: Autobiography of an American Swami”. He will give a talk on spiritual ecology on Thursday, Sept. 16 at the UHM School of Architecture. Reception at 5, talk at 6:30, program till 8:30 p.m. Book-signing to follow. Admission is free and refreshments will be served. The Indian Student Association is sponsoring the event.

hanath and many of his humanitarian endeavors are based there. His spiritual headquarters is located in Mumbai.

“What really charmed me about India was its inclusiveness. I studied there with Christians, Buddhists, and many varieties of Hindus. I found, especially in India, that the essence of all great spiritual traditions is one—to love God and to be an instrument of the compassion of God in one’s life,” he said.

Radhanath spent his early years in India as a sadhu or wandering monk. After many years of travel and religious discovery, he returned to the United States to spread his faith. He chose a guru, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and further committed himself to the Bhakti faith.

Bhakti is a devotional yoga tradition that believes that people who are aware of their spiritual identity share the common purpose of reducing suffering in the world.

“In India I found the path of Bhakti, the path of devotion and love for God in the spirit of service to all living beings. I found that was the essence of the great spiritual traditions that I followed, and it very much transformed my heart,” he said.

A swami is a monk exclusively dedicated to God’s service. For that reason Radhanath Swami is celibate, abstains from intoxicants, has no property, and no bank account. He now resides in California and continues to share his faith with others.

“It is not necessary to do this. Some people become swamis and leave behind personal possessions and take such vows so we can give our full energy to try to uplift humanity,” he said.

“Spirituality is not a matter of changing one’s position in society but a matter of changing one’s heart. Transforming arrogance into humility, vengeance into forgiveness, selfishness into spirit of selfl ess service, hate into love, and we can do that from whatever position we are in society.”

“But some people like myself become swamis, or monks, for the purpose of giving our total energy exclusively to uplift human society,” said Radhanath.

Radhanath Swami will be giving a lecture on Thursday Sept. 16 at the UHM School of Architecture.

Radhanath has helped to bring community hospitals to India and has implemented the “Midday Meal” program, which brings vegetarian meals to impoverished children daily.

“One of the greatest reasons for illiteracy in India is hunger and children really can’t concentrate on their studies when they’re starving. Many children leave school to become beggars, which usually means (working) under some mafia boss or they go to child labor. The government asked us if we can help to keep children in school and really the most important thing is to feed them nutritious meals,” he said.

“The greatest challenge (facing mankind) is selfishness. From selfishness comes greed and egoism and it creates division and unnatural economic situations. The most important human virtue is compassion and spirituality is meant to connect us to our own eternal soul. This body and mind are like forms of dress that are covering our true essence, our eternal identity,” said Radhanath.

“The nature of that identity is full of happiness and it is eternal. When we connect to that, through our work we can express and give that joy from within. Rather than trying to grab joy from outside of us and take it into us for the purpose of happiness. That never works. Because what we need is to love and be loved and that love for God is within our heart and that love for all human beings is in our heart.”

“The purpose of yoga and religion is to reconnect to that spiritual essence within ourselves. We have to change the quality of our character and the quality of our consciousness and that’s the greatest challenge and need in the world, today and always,” he said.

Sachin Ruikar, PhD student in International Management in the Shidler College of Business invited Radhanath Swami to the university for a talk and book signing.

people know where every dollar is going to go for education.

E.P.: What is the biggest problem facing Hawai‘i today?

M.H.: Jobs, jobs, jobs. Too many people are worried out there; that their hours have been cut, that they are unemployed, that they may not have a long term job, that they may have to force their spouse to work, that they may have to get two or three more jobs, that they might have to ask their children to go to work.

There’s so much uncertainty.

We’re fearful of the future. I want to change that. I want to bring about my proven track record of being an administrator. An executive that knows how to work with the private sector to create jobs.

Rail is just one example. I have so many other ideas …

E.P.: Where do you see the State of Hawai‘i in four years?

M.H.: I believe that, should I be fortunate enough to be governor, we are going to make a lot of improvements in all the areas I’ve talked about. I’ve highlighted three areas: the economy, the education, and the environment.

I did that when I was the mayor of Honolulu, for four years we had an excellent report card, I won by 1300 votes, and by the time I was

ready to enter the second term, my approval rating had risen to 80%. That’s not me, that’s my team. One of the things that I can do is put together a great team.

Just like I did at the City, I can’t do it alone, I’m gonna put together one of the best cabinets that the State has ever seen. I have great optimism, because I have been an administrator, an executive and a manager.

E.P.: What is the most important thing you learned in college?

M.H.: The most important thing is no matter how much education you receive, even if it gets to the point where you get that one degree you always learn and realize what my father told me when I graduated from high school, with honors, and I thought I was on top of the world because I got into every college I applied to, my father grabbed me by the arm and said, “Son, you know nothing.” And that’s what I’ve grown to appreciate in life.

No matter how many accomplishments you achieve, recognition, or in the field of education.

Every time you achieve one thing, you always recognize there’s so much more to learn.

A nd unless you have that on-go ing thirst for knowledge you’re going to fall behind, you’re going to become complacent. This ver y tried-for-true phrase for everyone, education is a journey, not a destination.

Squid’s Sick Pick of the week: KTUH DJ SETH LILLEY’S WEEKLY MUSIC REVIEW

SETH L ILLEY Contributing Writer In an age of manufactured beats and auto-tuned vocals, electronica seems like the least likely genre for a classically trained jazz virtuoso

moods without making you feel like yo u ’r e missing s o m e t h i n g without the movie.

T h e album starts off with the dark and captivating “Knight Moves.” The song opens with four heavy piano chords, beginning the progression. Arpeggios slowly crescendo, surging forward out of the music one by one. A drum gives it a dance beat, and as the mood of the song rises, so does the percussion. The song hits the bridge, adding in a beautiful vio-

Gonzales does something special with his music and with electronica ...

to call home. And yet that’s exactly what you’ll find when you give this week’s Sick Pick a listen.

Prolifi c electronic artist Chilly Gonzales, born Jason Charles Beck, has put out 12 albums since 1996 (two of them under his birth name.) Gonzales began teaching himself piano at age three.

He draws infl uences from a wide range of genres, including classical, funk, disco and hip-hop.

Chilly Gonzales’ latest album, “Ivory Tower,” is the soundtrack to a fi lm of the same name, which Gonzales co-wrote and stars in.

Gonzales originally composed all the music as well. Even though it is a soundtrack, one cannot help but believe it is a stand-alone album: while many soundtracks feature instrumentals that are clearly used to punctuate and emphasize the mood of a movie, “Ivory Tower” expresses mult iple

lin melody and ethereal female vocals that give it a disco feel.

The amazing thing is that the whole album is essentially piano driven, letting Gonzales’ instrumental talent take precedence over the electronic beats. This is what gives Gonzales’ work an edge over most other electronica artists.

The album goes on to the catchy “I Am Europe.”

This time the beats are apparent

at the very beginning of the track, and Gonzales also throws in a little synthesizer as well. The song is punctuated by Gonzales’ breathy vocals.

Here, listeners hear the first lyrics, and they may be a little thrown off.

Gonzales goes for the abstract, using such prose as “I’m an imperial armpit sweating Chianti” and “I’m socialist lingerie/I’m diplomatic techno/I’m gay pastry and racist cappuccino.” If you are not a fan of what can only be described as a form of slam poetry, focus on the instrumental elements of this song instead.

The piano continues to rise in emotion as the synthesizer tapers off. Gonzales makes the proclamation “I am Europe!” The song pauses for effect, and with a chime, starts back into full swing, inducing involuntary foot-tapping.

Gonzales raps on the track “ The Grudge.”

The track is lyrically much easier to follow than “I Am Europe,” but the in-

strumentals are just as danceworthy. Probably the most classically inspired track is “Rococo Chanel” in which Gonzales actually uses a harpsichord.

“Ivory Tower” is an artistic, electrifying album. Gonzales does something special with his music and with electronica, adding elements of genres ranging from the early 18th century to the early 70s. The album was released in the U.S. on Sept. 6, but as always you can have a

listen to KTUH if you’d like some samples.

For Caldwell, Mānoa can be true ‘university town’ C HRIS M IKESELL Opinions Editor

Kirk Caldwell might have been born in Waipahu, but his legislative roots remain fi rmly planted in Mānoa.

“I represented Mānoa Valley for six years while I was in the House,” the 57 year-old acting mayor said. “I constantly dealt with issues like not having enough parking at UH Mānoa for kids, and then all the kids parking on the side streets, and all the residents complaining, ‘I can’t get in my driveway,’ ‘they can’t pick

can run, that means Caldwell is looking forward to a full ten years in his former boss’s offi ce.

But regardless of who the voters choose as their next Mayor, Caldwell said that students need to vote. Those who don’t are letting other people make their decisions for them.

“I just think they’re giving up their power,” said Caldwell. “Why would you do that? I don’t think any of us want to say ‘I’m giving my power over to you to decide things for me because I’m too busy.’

“People say they’re too busy, but it doesn’t take that much time. You can take the time if you make it a priority.”

up my gray bin because there’s cars blocking it.’”

Part of the solution was to subsidize TheBus fare for University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa students, something UH is doing now with the $20 mandatory U-Pass. But there is still a lot of work to be done.

For Caldwell, part of solving UH Mānoa’s transit problems is building more dorms to keep students from having to commute.

“We need to build more dormitories at UH so that we have at least a third of its population living on campus so we have a little urban village going on,” said Caldwell.

CHRIS MIKESELL / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Acting Mayor Kirk Caldwell plans to increase the dorm capacity of the UH Mānoa campus and install a 6-inch deep sidewalk infrastructure of high speed internet lines.

Of course, this ambitious vision for developing the university area requires three things. One part of the puzzle is funding dorm construction, which Caldwell intends to do by issuing bonds.

The second piece is rail.

“I want to have rail go to UH Mānoa,” Caldwell said. “It needs to go there, (but) I don’t think it should go into the quarry. It should stop by University and King.”

By planning for a larger population in the future – only 20 percent of the nearly 21,000 students attending UH Mānoa this Fall live on campus – Caldwell sees an opportunity to develop the UH Mānoa community into what he

calls a university town.

“Maybe the administration building should be where Puck’s Alley is today, or maybe where the old Varsity theater was,” Caldwell said. “You’re pulling kids down there, you have great stores, restaurants, bars, you’d be integrating the university campus with the community.”

The third piece of the puzzle for Caldwell is time – something he can only get if he is elected Mayor during the Sept. 18 runoff election.

If elected Mayor, Caldwell said that he intends to serve as long as possible. With the remaining two years of Hannemann’s term, and another two times he

Athletics’ new online ‘ohana

HawaiiAthleticsOhana.com is the University of Hawai‘i Athletics Department’s cost-cutting alternative to media guides that were being printed yearly for each sport.

The website launched last week. “We decided to focus our efforts on emerging technology through the internet,� said Derek Inouchi, UH director of media relations who headed the project. “We are able to reach a larger audience and promote our university, sports programs and facilities through this website.�

There are six links that give information on different aspects of UH athletics: The University, Sports, Academics, Facilities, This is Hawai‘i, and Community.

The University link gives background information about the school along with a virtual campus tour and links to admission information.

The Facilities link gives different facts about the construction and location of each UH

academic support and recruiting guidelines, etc. for those interested in joining UH’s programs. “It was our office’s summer project so we all basically had different roles in the creation of it,�

said Kara Nishimura, assistant director of media relations. “We still want to add more videos as well as upkeep and maintain the site as best we can.�

Nishimura said her favorite part of the website was the videos. “It gives people a different dimension at whatever program they’re interested in, rather than just what comes out of a media guide. Also, I like the fact that we now have everything in a hopefully easy-to-navigate site.�

Lauren Dobbins, a graduate student in the Speech Department, liked the website’s appearance, navigation and features. “ The university website should be modeled after this one because it is so easy to navigate,� said Dobbins. “Coming from out of state, it was interesting to see the different teams and facilities that the campus offers along with the pride that the school takes in athletics,� Dobbins continued.

Leisure Center an indoor and outdoor experience M ICHELLE WENGER Contributing Reporter

Students looking to meet new people, experience different activities and relieve stress should check out the Campus Center Leisure Program.

“We are here to provide opportunities outside the academic realm of UH,” said Andrew Johnson, the assistant director of the Campus Center Leisure Program.

T he center is located at Hemenway Hall Room 101 and provides dance classes, arts and craf ts, and indoor and outdoor recreation.

Students and faculty can also rent equipment, like surfboards and hiking gear, with a validated UH Mānoa ID and a Visa or MasterCard for deposit. Most equipment can be rented for under $40.

The center can also be a way for students to meet others with the

same interests.

“The hike leader wrote down that he thought everybody made a lot of new friends on the hike,” Johnson said. “We are about trying to provide opportunities for people to get to know each other and do it safely.”

Jake Kletzien, who graduated in Summer 2010 with a Master of Arts in second language studies, participated in a couple of activities with the leisure center, including surfing.

A fter he got to UH, K letzien needed something to engage in besides studying. He came across the L eisure Center through their website.

When he fi rst moved to Hawai‘i, surfi ng was one of his goals and he said the Leisure Center helped him accomplish that.

“It’s cool, because they drive you to the surf spot,” Kletzien said.

Transportation is provided for all off campus activities.

Kletzien also got his scuba certification through the Leisure Center. In the beginning there was a lot of sitting around for the in-class portion, but he said it was worth it when he got out in the ocean.

“I feel confi dent as a scuba diver now,” Kletzien said.

Kletzien also said he liked how convenient it was to rent out equipment, such as snorkeling gear, especially when he had friends and family in town.

There aren’t many limitations on where equipment can be used, but Johnson and his staff will inform renters of bad weather conditions or safety hazards across the island.

Sarah Smorol, a PHD. american studies student, asks for information at the Leisure Center.

The center provides UH students with activities such as dance classes and equipment, such a surfboards and hiking gear, which they can rent.

FUN IN THE SUN

Senior Theodora Lin learned about the Leisure Center’s classes through posters around campus. Lin is a new participant of the Tai Chi class, which started last Thursday night.

“It was very interesting and

great for beginners,” Lin said.

During her fi ve years at UH, she also participated in a belly dancing class which she wishes was still available this semester.

Ben Stein, a first year graduate student at UH, was also in the Tai Chi class.

He didn’t have any expectations going into the class, but enjoyed it and said he’d go back.

“It was pretty good,” Stein said.

Stein is also enrolled in a home brewing class, which started last Friday.

Lipyeow Lim, the instructor of the Tai Chi class, was excited about the outcome for his first class and said it was better than he expected.

Lim wishes there were more ways to get the word out about his class and the others offered at the Leisure Center.

Johnson said some classes fi ll

up quicker than others so he recommended signing up early for new dance classes such as Zumba or outdoor classes like sailing.

Some classes even offer different levels of experience, like hula.

“There are opportunities to learn more,” Johnson said.
