Parking problems With an estimated 800 stalls on campus available for over 7,000 reg­

istered students, parking will continue to be a big problem this semes­ter.

Parking on campus is limited to spaces designated by the school for student and faculty use only. No vehicle will be permitted to park in spaces reserved for handicapped without the proper sticker.

Parking in upper lot A, will only be available for KCC students with the required sticker obtained through the parking lottery. As of May 1, the vacant lot next to Leahi Hospital was closed.

According to Fred Hall, campus security, vehicles parked illegally on campus and vehicles receiving four or more citations will be towed without warning, and all traffic regulations will be enforced from the first day of class. Any vehicle obstructing traffic, parked in handicapped stalls or red zones or blocking fire lanes will be towed and assessed a $200 fine.

Provost Morton reminds students that an additional 100 stalls are available in the lower parking area near the vacant portables and that some parking is being offered at the Diamond Head Theatre; however, DHT parking rules must be observed or this too will be closed off to students. When using the theatre parking, students must park in the des­ignated stalls. Morton also recommends students to catch the bus, bike and carpool or walk whenever possible.

Campus connection The day after the Spring semester let out and throughout the summer,

phone service was being installed in Olapa and Kopiko. The good news is that this semester, offices and classrooms everywhere will have their own phones. Alas, no more answering machine mix-ups.

Different diplomas Starting this semester, KCC will offer students the option of apply­

ing for a Hawaiian language diploma in addition to their English lan­guage diploma, not as a separate option. The UH has made arrange­ments with Jostens- the company that prints the diplomas - to provide this service to all UH campuses. Also, beginning this semester, the charge for an application for graduation, including the diploma and case, has been increased to $15 for all University campuses. Therefore, students who want a separate Hawaiian language diploma will need to pay a total of $30 for each degree or certificate of achievement requested.

SSSO Open House Through the support of the Hawai 'i Interagency transition project,

KCC was recently able to acquire $10,000 worth of equipment to assist blind students and students with learning and visual disabilities. KCC now has a scanner which can scan text onto a disk with audio output of such material, and printed material can be scanned and printed in Braille through the Braille translator and printer. Students now have their own

·lab for their use. Computer time is by appointment with the Special Student Services office. In order to familiarize students with the new equipment, the Special Student Services department is holding an open house in 'llima 105B on Friday, Sept. 1 from 9 a.m. til4 p.m. Everyone is invited.

New Fee Increases A new non-resident fee will go into effect this Fall semester and

continue through Spring '97. The fee was passed during the 1995legis­lative session under Act 161 and will affect the entire UH system. U n­der the current law, non-resident community college students will be charged an extra 25 dollars per semester, while UH Manoa students will be assessed a 65 dollar fee .

Currently undergoing discussion are talks of raising the current user fe~s . Registration fees could increase from 10 to 15 dollars. Transcripts could cost three dollars to process instead of the current one dollar fee. Late and add-drop registration students could be assessed an additional five dollars, up from one dollar. And a new special handling fee of 10 dollars could also be implemented.

According to Mona Lee, dean of students, a public hearing is re­quired before having these fees implemented. Says Lee, the fee hikes won't take place until the Spring '96 or Fall '96 semesters.

Budget cuts liit KCC-By Estee Tanaka Kapi 'o Editor

With all of the University bud­get cuts going on, students are curi­ous as to how the cuts will affect them. Rest easy, Provost Morton said that this semester, there will be the same number of seats in a class and that the Fall '95 schedule will be maintained, but that's not to say what will happen next semester.

This semester, some classes were cut, but the number of seats in a class was raised, therefore there is the same number of seats being offered, and the classes that were enlarged will only increase by five students at the most.

The total budget cut for KCC was $1,079,224 butoutofthat, $325,000 was restored. The restored money will then be used to maintain the Fall '95 schedule and possibly hire some student help.

Provost Morton said that if any­thing, the lack of student help on campus will be the one thing that is felt the most this semester. Because of the budget cuts, there will be no more paid student help on campus. The only students that will work will be a part of the work study program. Because of this, there may be less workers in the office, longer lines in add/drop, and no more free tutoring in the LAC.

As far as tuition waivers, the dis­tribution of need based tuition waiv­ers will not change, however, the tuition waivers that have been given out for high grade point average may

be cul This semester, approximately 100 students were given tuition waivers because they have a high grade point average. "It's a nice in­centive to do good," said the Pro­vost.

Presently, tuition waivers are granted to senior citizens, members of the National Guard and native Hawaiians, but that may not be so in the future. The whole tuition waiver issue will be debated by the Board of Reagents and put into ef­fect in the Fall of '96.

Another big issue is tuition in­crease. "Community Colleges are underpriced and tuition should go up," said Provost Morton. He doesn't see an immediate hike, but he definitely sees one in the future. If there is a tuition increase, there will be a big one, not the five per­cent they were talking about, said the Provost. The money from the tuition increase will help improve the qual­ity and different types of classes of­fered.

On campus, the new semester will come in with a bang. On Aug 21, the first day of school, 933 will come down. For about three to four weeks, there will be lots of dust, workers cleaning up, and a severe shortage of parking, but once the dust c1ears, the empty space will be­used as more parking.

There are no plans that have been made yet about the destruction of the abandoned portables, and presently there is no money to do so. How­ever, once there is the money, that area will be cleared and made into student parking.

Signs have been put up around the center mall apologizing to stu­dents about the unsightliness, how­ever, plans for the center mall have not yet been solidified. The archi­tects have quoted $1.2 million for the building of a new and improved cen­ter mall, but since the cuts, KCC can' t afford that. KCC has asked the architects to cut their price by half, and they are still waiting for a re­sponse on that.

KCC's termite problem is also being looked at. Presently, the school has a contract with a consulting com­pany who is coming up with a plan to destroy those temutes for good. KCC will then ~ a testing site for new termite baits and other termite destroying medicine.

Next semester, KCC might have to reduce the number of classes by 40 or 50 seats. There :are two pos­sible areas that they have been look­ing towards to cut. The first area is Math 1 and English 9 and 10. These students may have to go to adult edu­cation classes if they are not offered here on campus. The other area is the second year classes. The prob­lem with those classes is that they suffer from small enrollment. In the future, classes numbered 200 and up may only exists in some depart­ments.

Presently, there are a lot of changes going on and not too many answers. There will be a meeting with the Board of Regent in Octo­ber to publicly debate tuition in­creases and other changes for the Fall '96 semester.

KCC'S new disruptive behavior policy By Ruben Byrd Staff Writer

With the coming of the new school year students should perhaps familiarize themselves with the Kapi 'olani Community College "Disruptive Behavior Policy." All students are mailed a copy of the stu­dent guidelines, where we get to learn important details like not bringing explosives onto the cam­pus, and that setting fires is bad. The guidelines are there to insure that nothing can get in the way of your learning experience, aside from the lack of parking and the fact that you can't get any of the classes you want.

The official parameters of what the school deems disruptive behav­ior are as follows:

Speech or action that 1) is disrespectful, offensive and or

threatening. 2) interferes with the learning ac­

tivities of students. 3) impedes the delivery of college

services 4) has a negative impact on any

learning environment, such as de­partment and staff offices, the Li­brary, the Computing Center, the Learning assistance centers, labs, clinical sites, service learning sites, etc., etc.

Well, you get the idea. KCC categorizes disruptive be­

havior in two grades: Serious and Minor. The severity of the two is pretty obvious.

"Serious and Dangerous Disrup­tion" is behavior that is perceived as being dangerous. Making threats of harm to persons or property, actu­ally inflicting such harm, swinging from the trees and other monkey-like behavior comprises this category.

Registration Problems? By the Coumeling staff Special to the Kapi 'o

Everything's closed! I don't know what to take ... Yes this can happen to you, but if it does, don't panic. The KCC counseling staff strongly sug­gests you do the following:

1. See a rounsdor to help you fmd alternate courses and make alternative educational plans.

2. Stand in the registration line again and again (but not during class time), you may be that lucky student

3. Be selective in what you take.

Register in courses for which you meet the prerequisite and reccomended preparation require­ments and for which you have an in­terest, students who just take anything to be enrolled have a high withdraw! and failure rate. You do not want to fmd yourself on academic probation.

4. Be Oexible about your class schedule. You may find the classes you want in the late afternoon, but be realistic._ There is no sense in regis­tering for a class ·that you can't attend on a regular basis.

5. Reapply now for the follow­ing semester. If there is nothing worthwhile to take, save your time, energy and money. Plan for a better opportunity next semester to register for classes you want

6. Benefit from the semester out of college.

Get a job. Career tryouts are valu­able educational experiences that help you fmd a focus for your college edu­cation and solidify career goals, if you are already working, increase your work hours to save more money so

-that you won't have to work as many hours the following semester when you return.

Take classes elsewhere, 1be adult Community Schools, part of the pu ~ lie high schools, offer wonderful re­view courses in math, reading and writing. In your semester off, learn to type or take a computer course. KCC's Office of Community Services offers a wide range of non-credit courses, and UH College of Continu­ing Education offers evening credit courses at $60 a credit. Check other Oahu community colleges, they may be still accepting applications for admission.

This sort of thing is so obvious that only a real bonehead would perform these kinds of acts, and since I'm sure that there are very few boneheads out there that would read an article enti tled "The KCC Disrup­tive Behavior Guidelines" we can probably skip this section.

The other, lesser grade ''Moder­ate Disruption" is behavior that is perceived as di sruptive , di's respcct­ful, offensive, and I or is tlu·caten-

ing. This includes speech or actions that create an atmosphere of hostil­ity, intimidation, ridicule or anxiety among students, instructors or staff.

Some examples of minor disrup­tive behavior:

Talking unnecessarily, and loudly. There you are trying to hear how Alexander pulled his hinder out of the fire, and defeated half the planet, when

"Eh, how was the surf yesterday?" "Flat, do you know who I saw?"

sounds from either side of you. Be­cause of this vital bit of data trans­fer, you miss the teacher giving a crucial bit of information that will no doubt be on the test, forcing you to read the book assignment and lose as many as 1.'5 minutes of valuable

'You're trying to rationalize man's inhumanity to pig and these two are playing touchy-feely ... '

sleep . lf I wanted to read to learn, 1 wouldn't be paying $300 to have educated people tell me things.

The love birds. There you are mourning the fate of the fetal pig you are currently sawing into little pieces when ... "giggle" .. .the sounds of hu­man biology intrude from behind you. I mean you're trying to ratio­nalize man's inhumanity t~ pig, and these two are playing touchy-feely, burning hormones faster that a '68 Impala burns gas. Don't these people have houses?

The KNOW-IT-ALL. The teacher pauses mid sentence to draw in a breath, and some goober who has decided that he is the bodhisattva of knowledge pipes up and throws in his two pesos. There you are, pre­cious class time ticking away while the know-it-all pontificates. Instead of the person with the doctorate standing at the front of the class, we get to have some guy, who, because he's read the "Art of War," thinks he has 20 minutes of valuable opinion to deliver to the class.

And you know who you are ... In most cases of less-than-cata­

strophic behavior the teacher may give a warning to the disruptive stu­dent. But depending on circum­stances and recunence of the prob­lem, probation, suspension and dis­missal are all possible alternatives.

For more information on the guidelines contact the Dean of Stu­dem Services Office, 'Ilima 205.

The 1995 Outstanding Education Award winner By Estee Tanaka Kapi'o Editor

For two years in a row, The Outstanding Vocational Educa­tion Award has gone to a KCC food service student, and to no surprise, this years winner is KCC student, Cherilyn Chun.

This past May, Chun gradu­ated with an associates in sci­ence degree in two fi e lds, patisserie and culinary arts and bas maintained a 3.6 grade point average.

Chun has also been the vice president for the Food Service of the Hospitality Industry Student Association in addition to the numerous internships and culi­nary programs that she has par­ticipated in during the breaks between semesters.

Chun has been qualified to in-

tern at prestigious hotels such as the Mauna Lani Bay, Manele Bay and The Hilton Waikaloa Village Hotel, with the knowl­edge and experience that she picked up in the Food Service program.

"I feel that hands-on learning, learning by doing, is the best and most effective teaching method available," said Chun, who be­came interested in vocational­technical education while en­rolled in Food Service at Pearl City High School.

Chun, who took top honors in winning the governors trophy for Best in show at last years Hawai 'i student Culinary Art exposition, will be attending the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York this se­mester.

An all American scholar By Tad Adachi Staff Writer

This past semester, KCC student Casey Cook was presented with the American Collegiate Association's All-American Scholar Award for her outstanding academic achievement during the 1994-95 academic year. Leon Richards, KCC's Dean of In­struction was allowed to nominate only one student per academic year to this Kentucky-based institution and Cook's name was chosen from an impressive few.

TheAll American Scholar Award

opens up a multitude of scholarship opportunities for which Cook is presently exploring. Cook, who is 31 years old, is presently entering her sophomore year and she holds an im­peccable grade point average of 4.0.

Cook, who returned to school after a 14 year hiatus, will attend KCC this fall semester and then plans to enter UH Manoa's early entry Doctor of Medicine program in the spring.

Casey Cook's achievements are an example that its never to late to follow your dreams, and it seems that her dream is on its way to being realized.

Applications are now being accepted for Fall Classes in Oriental Medicine toward

ciates degree in baking and pastry arts," said Chun, "My ul­timate goal is to be able to tour the country and learn from the worlds famous chefs. I will eventually return to Hawai 'i and become a chef instructor at one of Hawai 'i 's Community Col­leges."

"She certainly has the passion to learn and grasp as much in­formation and experience as possible in her field of culinary arts and patisserie," said Ron Umehira, assistant professor of the KCC Hospitality Education Program, and also the person responsible for nominating Chun.

"We are all proud of her ac­complishment thus far, but we know she has only scratched the surface as she pursues her per­sonal and career aspirations."

Cherilyn Clllln took home the Superintendent's Trophy witlz her patisserie creation "Fantasia" at the Hawai'i Student Culinary Arts Expo.

Personal Reflections

Once,

visiting any art

gallery was only a

shadow in my memory;

now, the Koa Art Gallery is

as familiar to me as my own

living quarters. More years 'than

I would like to admit to had

separated me from the academic

venue. Filled with apprehension,

yet with ambitious intent to expand

my knowledge, I enrolled in a class

in art history. I could liken myself to

a child eager to learn to swim, yet

afraid to first get his feet wet. After

the first plunge, I was fired with

enthusiasm. This led me next to

enroll in painting and drawing

classes, then later, religion, writing

and literature. I had so many voids

to fill.

When the need for voluntary gallery

attendants arose a few years ago, I

saw this as an opportunity to repay

the school for the riches I have

gained. Exposed to art the gamut of

which ranges from students' work to

creations of world-renowned artists,

what more inspirational environment

could I hope to find?

The shutters of my life have opened,

allowing in a wealth of new

experiences. What is significant,

too, is that in my role as student I

find that age is not exclusive; age

can be generic. Even if the physical

mine, the energy of my mind

compensates for that lack, and we

are indeed contemporaries.

Although my interest in painting still

runs high, in the art milieu my

aptitude will likely confine me to the

as the Koa Art Gallery occupies a

significant niche in the Koa Building,

so my experiences will find a special

be trav~ling the world via the Internet. With a World Wide Web viewer, their

journeys will be visual excursions to art galleries and artists' cyper-studios all

over the globe. In November, they will present their own computer art works

Traveling to New York is like going

abroad, maybe even to another

planet. During the Summer Session,

eleven students and the Koa Gallery

director and KCC instructor, David

Behlke left on the "Travel Abroad

New York City" class.

The class, Art 269-D was designed

to give students a travel and art

experience which few cities in the

world could give and New York does

it with all the brass in the horn

section. The group visited every

major museum and most of the

secondary spaces during their 2-1/2

weeks in the Big Apple. Broadway

and off Broadway productions were

part of the cultural immersion.

D on't be surprised if this se­mester your teacher tells you your research partner

for the class project lives some­where in Michigan.

Many changes are being made to the way classes will be taught. "Watch for differences in the way computers are being used at Kapi 'olani Community College, said HERN Institute facilita­tor and KCC instruc-tor, Judith

"You many courses that are

changing their method of delivery and many students who have newly acquired access and purposes for us­ing the Internet as a means to ex­tend their learning."

Twenty-six KCC faculty went through the two-week Hawai 'i Edu­cational Research Network Institute Surruner '95 Workshop which was held here from July 9-22. Approxi­mately 120 DOE and private school K-12 teachers and 55 higher edu­cation-Community College and University of Hawai 'i instructors participated.

Phil Bossert and Sharen Arakaki, co-principal investigators for the HERN project, and David Lassner, Director oflnfonnation Technology systems at the University of Hawai 'i, wrote the grant proposal to the National Science Research Foundation. As a result, the NSF awarded HERN $2.1 million for the three-year research project incorpo­rating the use of networked comput­ers to reform education in Hawai 'i.

Participants went through in­tense training. E-mail, video confer­ences, Talk (two-party conversa­tions), and MUDs (Multi-User Di­mension which allow several people to converse in real time) were cov­ered. Members learned to create pages on the World Wide Web, use interactive graphics tools, and tools like Gopher and Fetch to find and download information.

Keynote speakers talked about the ways technology will be able to change the way learning can be ac­complished in the classroom and the impact of the super information highway on society. Participants were shown projects created by stu­dents on the mainland

Each participant was placed into a ResourceTeam, a CollaboraTeam, and a ProjecTearn.

The Resource Team is develop­ing an on-line information source that will be made accessible to any­one who has Internet access. For in­stance, Health Science educators at KCC are collaborating with their colleagues on other islands to pub­lish a Web page with information about Health Education programs and job opportunities.

The Collabora Team gave educa­tors an opportunity to explore games and simulations as a learn­ing tool.

The ProjecTeam's task is to implement new and exciting learn­ing environments using on-line re-

sources and interactive nmltimedia. If you are interested in ''cbannel

The Nature of Tiffany Selections from The Tiffany & Co. permanent collection

By Estee Tanaka Kapi'o Editor -

Throughout America, the name Tiffany & Co. has always held a reputation of fine art and high standards. It was no surprise that on Nov. 24, 1992, when Tiffany & Co. opened in Ala Moana Center, Governor John Waihe'e pro­claimed the day "Tiffany Day" throughout the whole state of Hawai'i.

From that very first Tiffany day, Tiffany & Co. became in­volved with the Honolulu Acad-emy of Arts by donating items, designed by Tiffany, to be auc­tioned at the Academy's annual fund-raiser event-Kama' aina Christmas.

The Honolulu Academy of Arts has been selected as one of two museums chosen to display, "The Nature of Tiffany, Selections from the Tiffany & Co. permanent collection." This display shows the development of Tiffany & Co.'s designs and creations over the years.

The nature of Tiffany show­cases over 70 different silver ob-jects and pieces of jewelry, includ­ing Japanesque mixed met~l sil­ver, award winning pieces from World's Fair Expositions and jew­elry created by Louis Comfort Tif-

fany and other noted designers. Tiffany & Co., which was

founded in 1837, is famous for its nature inspired designs. This ex­hibit shows the firm's reverence for 19th century Japanese design which promotes the application of nature's beauty to the form and deco-ration of even the most utilitarian objects.

One of the items on display is the "Spider tray," a Japanesque style tray that took the Grand Prix Award for design at the 1878 Paris World Fair-the Paris Exposition Universelle.

World fairs at-tracted thousands of potential cus-tomers for Arneri-

smiths. On display is a silver and

enamel orchid brooch by G. Paulding Farnham, a graduate of the "Tiffany School." This brooch is so realistically designed that it could only be distinguished by the

World's Fair. Louis Comfort Tiffany, the

company's first official design di­rector and the son of Tiffany & Co.'s founder, Charles Lewis Tif­fany, contributes his well-known

stained glass lamps along with 12 jewelry de­signs that clev­erly entwine grape leaves, bit­tersweet vines and berries with techniques and materials such as enameling, un­usual gemstones and filigree.

Tiffany's use of different gem­stones in his jew­elry made him unique among the diamond-studded Edward-ian Era . The citrine and enamel necklace

leaves , is a classic example of Tiffany's designs.

A witty frog brooch by Donald Clafin shows Clafin's bold ap­proach to jewelry design in his in-

terpretation of real and fantastic animals. Master jeweler Jean Schlumberger contributes nature pieces that are described as thoughtful, precise and elegant.

Since the afternoon social ac­tivities of mid and upper class Vic­torian women centered around the tea time, matching tea service, which included tea pots, sugar bowls, cream pitchers and waste bowls were highly prized. The Grosjean & Woodward tea set merges excellence in design and craftsmanship with a Western in­terpretation of Chinese art.

The pieces that comprise The Nature of Tiffany have been pri­vately collected and bought from auctions, such as rare flatware like 'cherry forks' and 'pea servers' which date back to the 1860s when the table was set with expensive placesettings and courses were served in silver dishes by servants .

"The classical settings of the Honolulu Academy of Arts makes it the perfect venue for the time­less quality of the nature- inspired objects and jewelry of Tiffany & Co.'s permanent collection," said Paul Kurata, Vice president of Tif­fany & Co. in Hawai 'i.

The great HERN institute '95 set-up By Lianne Watanabe Staff Writer

While most of us were squeez­ing in as much fun and excitement as possible into the last several weeks of summer vacation, some of the faculty, staff, and students of KCC were working day and night to prepare for the HERN Institute Summer '95 Workshop. For the workshop, 12 KCC labs had to be linked to the Internet. What this means is each of the computers in those labs had to be physically wired to hubs and connected to data ports.

Approximately 300 machines were involved. In many cases, memory had to be installed, and when some of the memory did not arrive in time, other means had to be worked out. Programs bad to be downloaded, and equipment like computers, printers and scanners had to be moved in place.

A bonus of the workshop is that five labs will remain linked: 'Diahi 128 and 129, Kalia 102, Lama 101, and Lama 119.

It took about two weeks to set­up for the HERN workshop, but most of the work was done during the week. Students put in a lot of vol­unteer time, said Charles Aoki, Computing Center coordinator. Stu­dents and staff worked around the clock to get all the equipment ready. "Some nights we worked through the whole night and didn't get any sleep at all," Aoki said. He also said many of the students volunteered their time.

Aoki and his students and staff include computer specialists Nancy Roth, Yul Pyun and students John Engelhart, John Hirano, Todd Sato, Ethan Butterfield, Roy Tomita, Scott Tanaka, Kendall Mar, JoeLei, and Peter Chong. Pyun was in charge of networking all these computers. Roth also manned labs and installed

Linked and ready! Continued from page 5

"It was a brilliant workshop, a brilliant two weeks very well re­ceived by everybody. There was nothing but pure enthusiasm from the 20 other members from my groups," Flanigan said.

Head librarian, Terry Webb, found the workshop, "very intense

[and) very educational." Webb felt the project was well-designed and very well thought out by project di­rectors. "Everyone said the KCC s[aff did a heroic job providing sup­port, equipment, and expertise and helping everyone feel al home," he said. "I don't think it could have been done anywhere else."

much of the software used during the institute.

Bert Kimura, coordinator of the Educational Media Center, and his crew of students and staff provided assistance that ranged from picking up food and leis to doing graphics for name tags and brochures to set­ting up equipment for speakers and instructors.

That crew includes computer specialists Kenwrick Chan and Craig Shiroma; electronic engineer Gary Murakami; distance education spe­cialist Kelli-Good Goya; educational specialist Monte Hickock; elec­tronic technicians Reef Arnano, David Shiraki and Carl Matsui; and students Karl Naito, TravisOka, Yves Sakai, Tracy Cbagami, Jennifer Omn, Dawn Sueoka, Nathan Adams, Al Casinas, Allan Cris, Lenie Bolosan. Kyle Hamane, Helen Crowell. Blythe Sakashita, and Rita Pang.

Chan, Naito. Sakai, Oka,Amano, and Shiroma also assisted in the hardware configuration and software installation.

Wendy Kim-Messier designed the Institute T-shirt.

Break time for the crew. Yves Sakai, Reef Amano, Blythe Sakaslzita, Tracy Chagami, Karl Naito, Rita Pang and David Shiraki.

Kimura assisted with projects and produced a talk show on copy­right, while Chan taught several ses­sions on creating Web pages.

The HERN set-up was a second stint for Kimura, Naito, Chan,

Shiroma, Roth and Amano. This group spent aboi.Jt a week and a half setting up equipment for the INET '95 convention at the Sheraton­Waikiki June 27-30 and at the Pa­goda Hotel where delegates from several third-world countries were staying. They helped dismantle the setup Friday night , June 30, and dur­ing that weekend, and then reported to work at KCC to set up the labs before the July 8 opening of Hern.

After I-I ern, they again began the tnsk of returning boiTowed equip­ment and supplies and restoring the labs for the fall semester.

Pacific Island linages FiliD Festival This month, the Pacific islanders

in Communications, otherwise known as PIC, will wrap up its sec­ond annual Pacific Island Images Film Festival. The film festival which started Aug. 3, features films and videos produced and/or directed by indigenous Pacific Islanders on issues of importance to them.

"These are films that provide al­ternate visions and empower those whose cultures often seem silent in the clamor of the worshippers of the machine," said Honolulu Weekly's Bob Green about last year's festival.

This year, PIC will premiere two new documentary series, 'Tangata/ Tagata' and 'Storytellers of the Pa­cific,' and will also be showing 'Once were warriors,' the winner of 15 international film festival awards.

'Storytellers of the Pacific' is a edited version of a four-part docu­mentary series on the impact of colo­nization on indigenous peoples of the Pacific, including Native Hawai­ians, Chamorros, American Samo­ans, Australian Aborigines and New Zealand Maories. Each segment tells a story that illustrates how individu­als in their own indigenous commu-

Once Were Warriors By Estee Tanaka Kapi'o Editor

'"Once Were Warriors' is a dev­astating portrait of Auckland urban maori life," says the synopses of the movie for the Pacific Island Images fllm festival, but in reality, the movie is much more than that.

The movie begins with the main character walking the streets of her urban neighborhood, passing all of the

.daily hustle and bustle of an 'Ameri­canized' Maori neighborhood.

She then takes Us to her home and family: consisting of a violent, domi­neering husband; a wild, uncontrollable older son; a wise and sensitive daugh­ter, and the youngestofher family, a lost, scared teen boy. All of them doing their own thing, the best way they know how, to survive in today's society.

This movie is a vivid, all too real portrait of this family's pr:oblerns. The fighting and beatings are almost un­bearable, the confusion and tum10il is heartwrenching, and the pain ofloss and slow, tortuous realization of a dead-end situation is agonizing.

No matter what race or ethnicity, everyone will find something to re­late to. This IIDvie covers a number of issues prevalent in todays society: gangs, domestic violence, rape, death and love.

The title, 'Once Were Waniors', stems from the fact that in past times, the Maori were waniors, strong and

noble. This analogy compares how the Maori are perceived today lo what they used to be before.

Intense and strongly moving, 'Once Were Waniors' isMmitely armvie well worth watching.

nities have struggles against the ef­fects of different myths that have been created through westernization. The stories portray successes that native people have had in reversing the effects of colonization.

'Nga Puna Series: Koro's Hat' is a contemporary drama by one of Maori's upcoming writers, Debra Reweti. This is the story of Koro,

and how hats are part of the style of his generation. For babe, his grand­daughter, hats are a funny way of dressing up. This is a poignant story of love between an old man and his granddaughter.

'Aka Marp Kura: The investiture of mere maraer makea Nui Ariki' is a documentary that shows the con­tinued symbolisms of power and the

•

process of protest which continues to pas.s from one generation to the next. A thousand years ago, two re­nown se.afarers Tangi'ia and Karika conquered the island of Rarotonga and established the traditional social and political system of the island.
