GUEST EDITORIAL

Hafa Dai

Hafa Dai is the traditional greeting on Guam. Several years agomy family and I embarked together on a great adventure. I accepted theposition as Dean of Student Affairs at the University of cuam, 9,000 mi-Iesfrom home. Although my in-laws only forgave me upon our return "nearerto home", Guam was a good experience for all of us. I know that I wasforever changed by the cultural experiences I had, both personally andas a professional. I'd like to share several of my experiences with you.

Guam is really the cultural melting pot of the Pacific. The popu-lation consists of "mainlanders" (that's us), native Guamanians (calledChamorros), Filippinos, Koreans, Vietnamese, Chinese, a smattering ofother cultures, and a wide variety of Micronesians. The University hasas its service area Guam, the Northern Marianas and Micronesia.Micronesia means "little islands", and the name really fits. Micronesia's2,L05 islands (whose land mass is only about 1,000 sguare miles) arescattered across three million square mlles of the equatorial pacific.This is an area comparable in size to the continental U.S. with a landmass one-twentieth the size of Rhode Island. The result is difficulttravel-, little communication, and profound cultural differences betweenisland groups. The Micronesian students at the University formed aboutLV/" of the student body, but took up at least 75% of my time. It isthis group that present€d the most intense cultural challenge to pro-fessionals on Guam. For this reason I'd like to share with vou some ofmy experiences with these gentle, fascinating people.

Truk is one of the most interesting places in Micronesia. It is ascuba diver's delight, since over 46 ships of the Japanese Imperial Fleetlay sunken, intact, on the lagoon floor. The people are equally interesting.I had come to Truk to recruit students. I was in the glzmnasium of Moenhigh school expounding upon the nuances of higher education. About 200 boysand girls were seated in front of me paying special attention only becauseI was about to give away a T-shirt. I called the winner's name, ?Dattractive young Trukese girl from one of the outer islands. She wasdelighted. I held out the shirt and told her to walk up to me to get it.The room went from smiling, clapping pandemonium to absolute dead silence.The girl's eyes met mine, and I'1I never forget the look on her face.She looked like a child who desperately wants something, but is afraid toapproach iL. As f held out the shirt, she began to crawl on her handsand knees toward me. I was dumbfounded, and frankly had absolutely no ideawhat was happening. I was finally rescued by a local teacher who cameover and whispered to me to take the shirt to her. A simple solution yousay. Agreed, but at that point I was too shocked to think clearly. WhenT did hand her the shirt, she broke into a big grin and the studentsbegan to chatter and laugh again. I later learned, that it is a socialtaboo for women from the Trukese "outer islands" to be physically higherthan their male relatives from the central islands. l{hen the man sits,

Guest Editorial (Cont. )

she must sit. If the man lays down, she must do so also. In the gymsituation the girl could not stand up without violating a strong localcustom. I later learned that this particular problem is most seriousin classes, especially upon entering and leaving, being called to theblackboard, etc.

T{re second situation I would like to share with you happened inPonape, drl island some claim to be the loveliest on earth. I would notdisagree. It too was a simple thing, let it made a profound impressionon me. I was in the center of the capital city of Colonia when I sawsomeone I knew well walking about I00 feet ahead of me on the road. Icalled loudly to him to get his attention. l1y Ponapean friend turnedaround, and I could see right away that he was very embarrassed. Thelocal people who had heard my call had briefly paused and given myfriend a knowing smile of pity. I learned a hard lesson that day. Yousee, Ponapeans do not raise their voice to each other except as a parentto a child, usually as punishment. In essence, I had insulted my friendin the worst sort of way, since we aII value being treated as adults.

I share these two stories not only because they are interesting,but because they brought home to me, rather forcefully, the need to besensitive to cultural differences. I had many other such experiencesin the Pacific. Such local cultural factors as the overwhelming impor-tance of the extended family unit, the vital social importance of sharing,and local superstitions were brought home to me in similar situations.f\rvo common themes thread their way through all of these experiences. First,I was shocked and genuinely unprepared for what happened. I was insensi-tive, one of the greatest sins for a counselor. Secondly, I'rTl embarrassedto admit that my.preparation was not what it should have been. I shouldhave knowh that cultural differences would exist and sought out advicefrom knowledgeable others. I didnrt, and I paid the price. The factthat I was a "mainlander" who "didnrt know any better" may have explainedmy insensitivity to the local people, but certainly does not justify itto me. To be frank, prior to my experiences in the pacific, I reallythought I had developed sensitivity. After all, a Ph.D. in counselinEand fifteen years experience are worth something. Right? Well, myexperiences in the islands taught me a bittersweet lesson. I became muchmore culturally sensit j-ve, both personally and professionally. AlthoughI am no longer interacting with people from such exotic places, I havefound the lessons I learned to be valuable right here in the U.S. of A.People are different, and cultures are different. Sensitivity is the key.Although as a counselor, I knew this in my head, I now know it in my gutand my heart. I hope my actions as a counselor and human being willreflect this sensitivity.

As they say in Guam, si yuus masse. Thank you.

Commission X Newsletter

The Chair's Conments

Tlhis newsretter could be called "pre-convention News". As animportant component of ACPA it seems appropriate that we highlightthe upcoming convention in Baltirnore and the special events andprograms in which Commission X will be involved.

In addition you will find information on the individuals nominatedfor the directorate. I am irnpressed with the quality and. the committmentof these individuals. Since we had exactly four nominations for the fouropenings there will not be a need to vote on these individ,uals. Ehedirectorate will meet in Baltimore to act upon these nominations.

Within this nehtsletter you will find information on the jointactivities of NAFSA and the International Relations Committee of AAcDwith our cornnission. fhe purpose behind, this is to nrake you aware ofthese events and to solicit your involvement and, participation asappropriate.

This is the last newsletter that I will speak to you from as thecommission chair. Dr. PauI Marion of the University of North Carolinasystem will assume the leadership role over the next two years. As youwill recall, Dr. Marion was elected by the membership last winter andwill serve for the next two years. l{is replacement wilL be elected aschairperson-elect this time next winter and will assume lead.ershipin 1985.

During my tenure I have attempted to build'a found,ation forCornmission X to grow from. Toward, that end and with the help of asupportive directorate we have:

1) Re-established, the directorate.2) Published a quarterly newsletter with guest ed.itorials and commission

3)4)5)

6)7)

particular. The recommendation goes on to emphasize the need forACPA to provide leaoership in sensitizing U.S. students and r'acu']tyto international i.ssues anC perspectives, as well as in meeiing theunique needs of students from o't,her couniries siudying in the U.S.
