Festival offers art, food, culture By Sharlene Kaya

The Office of Community Ser­vices is offering a fall festival of Food, Art, Culture and Recre­ation .

Art classes include photogra­phy, ceramics, painting, interior design, drawing, raku firing, fab­ric design, calligraphy, Ikebana, discovering antiques, T'ai Chi Chuan, and holiday decorations. Prices range between $35 and $45.

There will also be timely semi­nars on holiday desserts and ap­petizers. A portion will be dedi­cated ~o Japanese cooking, such as New Year's menus. Cooks from surrounding restaurants will demonstrate.

According to Randall Francisco, head of the Food, Fine Arts and Recreation section, most of these classes will be held in the evening to accommodate working people.

Francisco stated that these classes have a good variety of · people signing up who are· inter­ested in taking the courses not for a degree, but for personal interest. He is proud of seeing the program grow in the way it has.

"Th~ purpose of this whole idea is to give people something to tie­in with the theme of autumn and all the different holidays that are celebrated," Francisco said. We want people to be able to come and enjoy the beauty of the whole campus, it's excellent facilities and instructors."

Other offerings include a senior citizen's program called "Elder House" which will run for a week and is designed for persons 60 years and older. These seniors will learn about Hawaii, its his­tory and its people, by visiting museums. In addition, they will listen to lectures, sample food,

and spend a day and night in Waikiki.

The program will utilize the Interpret Hawaii program which is in partnership with the Hawaii Visitors Bureau and coordinated by Glen Grant.

Another event planned cele­brates the Chinese people and their culture. It. correlates with their Bicentennial, which is next year.

An arrangement affiliated with Kansai University of Osaka will provide Japanese students with an opportunity to use the English they have learned. There will be classes on English conversation, which intends to expose students to American (including Hawaiian) culture.

Thrashed by dust and wind By Felicia May

Last week as a student walked along the black-topped walkway which borders the gravel parking lot, a gust of wind picked-up a cloud of red dirt. The girl stopped and covered her face with some papers she was holding.

This dust devfl . picked up . so much lose dirt that it was impos-

sible to see what was on the other side.

As it engulfed her, the student slowly disappeared in it and it seemed to grow taller and wider.

Then it started to move towards the area between Kokio and Koa. Students who moments before had stood mesmerized, now ran for cover.

But just as quickly as . it had

materialized, the dust devil disap­peared leaving it's assaulted victim disheveled and gasping for breath.

Video displays damaging eyesight By Guy Brandwen

By the end of the ·century, over three-fourths of the population will have had interaction with computer video displays. With such a large amount of computer interaction in our future I must ask: "Will there be any ill effects?"

I sit many a night, punching away at my home computer terminal. Sitting in a darkened room, bathed only by the glow of the computer monitor's light through my dark sunglasses. Why?

The images seen on computer· terminals, although seemingly solid, are redrawing themselves many times per second right before your eyes. Think of it as animation. Anything that appears ·to move on the screen is actually being redrawn many times per second.

For proof of this theorem, turn your head away from a computer screen so that it can only be seen through the corner of your eye. You will notice a flicker, almost the same way a flourescent bulb stays lit. That is your retina catching the monitor as it re­draws itself.

By now you have probably come to the conclusion that looking into a computer screen is not good for the retina. (I hope you have at least figured out why I wear the sunglasses; if not, stop reading and begin agai·n.) All of

my friends who use computers haven't the slightest care about eye damage although most have been mysteriously befallen with poor eyesight. · Often, ~ hear

people telling me to sit more than five feet away from the television. (Something passed down from parent to child of the television age.) Whether or not it is correct, it seems almost impossible to operate a computer without being more than a foot from the screen.

Many computer users today are discovering premature eye problems because of the extensive

computer use. But for most, their careers come first. As for myself, I would rather wear glasses and be a computer user than be a broker with a heart problem.

Organizations like the : communication Workers for America have been formed to prot-ect t-he- 1\ealth: of~ workers who use monitors. The results, through collective bargaining, have been less than effective.

Many companies don't feel a need to have computer safety rules in the work place. The government seems to support that

feeling when it released a report on VDT studies. The study came to the conslusion that "it depends on how you adjust your chair" while other independant tests have proven that the video displays cause miscarriages.

What can you do to save our eyes and your love affair with your computer? Until a "safe" display can be created ...

1. Purchase a glare-screen that ·will fit over your computer screen to reduce a percentage of the glare. Recommendation: a glare­screen glass even though it might cost a little more. Example: ComputerLand of Hawaii--$29-$42.

2. Remind yourself of the damaging effects on your eyes and try to stay as far away as possible from the screen.

3. Avoid working for long periods of time in front of the screen. If it cannot be avoided, take a break every hour just to look around.

Gettr~gltha~ct;~~iie~p~eAE ·· By Edwin Quinabo

Most people link massages to a filthy room in a downtown alley with a name like the "The Passion Pit". Surprise! The Physical therapist Assistants class gave free massages to students and staff in late August and early September at KCC. However this massage session was purely legitimate.

Besides the three day hands-on lesson, PTA students were evaluated on their performance by volunteers. Those who took advantage of this offer would have to pay almost fifty-dollars if they sought professional help elsewhere.

Each thirty minute session consisted of four different types of strokes: effleurage, petrissage (kneading), friction and tapotement. Each stroke has a different purpose and technique. For example the tapotement stroke is done to stimulate the muscles by using the chop method. this style is usually done on athletes.

However, students must be

excepted to the second year of the program based on a professional interview and their grade point average. They would also have to obtain a CPR and First Aid certificate. "The second year is divided into two challenging semesters. But the hard work will pay off after graduation with job options at hospitals, clinics, health spas, and handicap centers," Kolone Scanlan said.

"A massage is another way of stretching muscles. It relaxes and relieves body pain. It also reduces swelling," instructor Barbara Yap said.

The free massage helped promote the two-year PTA program. In the first year students work for their Associate Degree. The second year is designed for . training skills in technical work; massage, wheelchair mobility, electrical muscle stimulation and so forth. They even assist . in community clinics.

The play -was very interesting. As I watched, I could imagine what the 19th century would have been like.

Panel looks at Iran-Iraq war By Michael P. McMaho~

The responsibilty for the eight­year Iran-Iraq War must be shared by the countries which armed the adversaries including the United States, 1srael, and the Gulf states which armed Iraq a:1d the black market dealers who armed the countries, according to a panelist who participated in a symposium about the war.

The panelist, Tehranian, felt 'the regional conflict could be in­terpreted as a war by proxy since the $17 billion of arms came from outside the two countries to con-tinue the war. ·

The panel, held at UH Manoa, was televised on the Diamond Head Campus.

The participants of the sympo­sium were Ibrahim Aoude, liberal studies advisor at Manoa and a lecturer at KCC; Professor Yas­masa Kuroda of the Political Sci­ence Department at Manoa; and

, Majid Tehranian Professor and Chair of the Department of Com­munication. The moderator, was Assistant Professor of Communi­cations Farideh Farhi.

An overview of how recent history of the war originated was presented by Tehranian. In 1975 Iran and Iraq signed a treaty over a disputed waterway, the Shatt al Arab. Iraq's leader Saddam Hus­sein was forced to sign the treaty enforced by then Shah of Iran Reza Pahlavi. When hw was eventualy overthrown by the Ay­atollah Khomeini, Iraq used the ensuing turmoil to reject the treaty outright and prepare for war against Iran.

Aoude who was in Baghdad, Iraq in 1978 had friends in the Ba'ath government who were concerned with Khomeini's revo­lution in Iran.

The Ayatollah wanted to spread Islamic fundamentalism through­out the Arab world and overthrow Hussein in Iraq.

Iraq wanted to be the power in the region and expand into Shatt al Arab to develop its oil fields and have more access to the gulf.

The gulf states which feared for their own existence, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, backed Iraq with financial support.

Tehranian stated that the media mainly focused on the religious aspect of the conflict. It never really pursued who sent the weapons to the region.

Now that a cease fire is in ef­feet after 8 years of war, Aoude pointed out that the international companies and gulf ·states are ready to step in and help rebuild the two war-torn economies.

The general consensus of the speakers was that we all bear re­sponsibility directly or indirectly for the events which took place either by complicity or plain ig­norance of the situation.

As the symposium concluded, moderator Farideh Farhi noted that the American media also seems to be biased towards Israel and portrays the Arab world as barbaric and terroristic while largely ignoring their cultural and historical contribution to the world.
