President Shumway answers my first ques-tion with cheerful confidence: “The Poly-nesian Cultural Center and BYU-Hawaiiare among the great “come and see” insti-tutions of the Church,” he says. “Whensomeone says ‘Tell me what Mormonismis,’ all we have to say is ‘Come and see!’”

He is exuberant in defining the part-nered role of the two institutions: “Presi-dent McKay described BYU-Hawaii as a‘training center’ to embrace the people ofthe islands and Asia, and he mentionedby name the Chinese and Japanese. Somepeople think these statements are ‘justnice words’ but they are words which havebecome prophetic in a dramatic way.” Assister institutions, he avows, “The Polyne-sian Cultural Center and BYU-Hawaiihave, in the last 15–20 years, literally be-come what I call ‘Zion’s bridge to Asia.’

“We have had hundreds of official Chi-nese guests who have visited us over theyears from business, government and edu-cation, and who have come to know us.

We have become a point of credibility—theChurch is real to these people through thePCC and BYU-Hawaii. It is easier forthem to see how the purpose and personalblessings of the Church work through edu-cation and business—how they are tied to-gether to bless the students.” In this way,he notes, “BYU-Hawaii and the PolynesianCultural Center together are the perfectdisplay to Asian visitors. They can readthe Church, probe the Church, and under-stand the Church through their relation-ships and friendships with people at thePCC and at BYU-Hawaii.”

He illustrates this process with the ex-perience one Chinese alumni of the cam-pus and cultural center revealed to him of“the startling introduction” he encoun-tered when he first arrived on campus andwhich he described to the president as “amental and psychological adjustment.”

In his own words, the young man re-lated: “When I arrived in Honolulu, I hadbeen told I would be picked up at the air-

port, and, [accordingly] a driver met me.He put my bags in his car and opened thefront passenger door for me. Then hewent around to the driver’s seat and webegan the drive around the island to Laie.Along the way I discovered that he was asenior vice president of the PolynesianCultural Center—it was then that I real-ized I was in a different country, a differ-ent system, a different hierarchy.”

President Shumway smiles broadly inthe telling: “The young man continuedwith his story: ‘then I met PresidentMoore. He was so gracious and interestedin me. He invited me to walk with himthrough the grounds of the PCC. As wecame out of the building he noticed a pieceof trash on the ground and he picked it upand put it in the trash bin—then I realizedthat I was in a country where vice presi-dents are drivers and presidents are trashcollectors.’”

Cheerfully, President Shumway con-templates, “We can talk about love and the

Zion’s BridgetoAsia”

BYU-Hawaii president, Eric B. Shumway, is between meetings in his second-floor office in

the Lorenzo Snow administration building this morning. It is the time of day when

Hawaii residents wake early to clear blue sky, soft tradewinds, and mountains and sea of incred-

ible beauty. The office looks over green lawns and colorful gardens surrounding campus build-

ings, and the early-morning light sparkles in the leaves of palms swaying gently in the warm sun.

Aloha Spirit but these people come hereand feel it. They feel the Spirit of Christand call it the Aloha Spirit. It is very easyfor them to make that connection. Whatwe have here on the campus and at thePCC is a harmony of minorities and a ‘ser-vant leadership’ status of leaders.”

There is great interest in the countriesof Asia, he notes, “in having us prepare

men and women on oneyear internships and hav-ing them go back homewith new knowledge. Thisis a gift which we offerthem. We do it out of thegoodness of our hearts.Even if the Church doesn’tget into some countries for50 years it is still a worthyinvestment. The Chinesesense that the Aloha Spiritand leadership are directlyconnected to our ultimateconcern which is the prepa-ration of students for futureleadership in their homecommunities.”

Describing such visi-tors’ experience at thePCC, he observes, “TheChinese background andcultural heritage is the lensthrough which they see thePCC—and they see its mis-sion and activities relating

to themselves, not alien to themselves.When they come here they sense their im-portance as individuals. Our culture andeducation lifestyle resonates with them.The professorial caring, the compassionateteaching that goes on seems wonderfullycaring and impressive to them.”

For these and other reasons, PresidentShumway is vigorous in pursuit of his goalfor faculty, staff, and students together: “Iwant every person who is here from ourtarget areas of Asia and Polynesia identi-fied and brought into someone’s circle ofinfluence who can really help them. It’sabout mentoring, about sharing the gospel,the Aloha Spirit. We will reach to the peo-ple of these countries through these indi-viduals. They will become literal ambas-sadors of the experiences they have herewith us. Together BYU-Hawaii and thePCC are a center of learning, and many

Asians who trained here have absorbed theculture and the gospel then returned hometo become ambassadors of the Church—whether they are members of the Churchor not.”

His conviction matched by characteris-tic optimism and warmth, he personalizeshis vision of the university and culturalcenter partnership in the new millennium:“We must prepare our hearts for the com-ing year 2000 and beyond. We need, bothpersonally and collectively, to pray for andreceive a portion of President McKay’s vi-sion. His vision needs to become our own.We must be constantly renewed and invig-orated. We can’t be let down in front of ourstudents. We must learn about all thesePacific Rim countries and make contactsboth for placement and recruitment of ourstudents.”

As another group gathers to meet withhim, we conclude our visit and he shares aletter just received from a young studentfrom Hong Kong who worked in mediaservices while on campus. It reads in part:

“So many times I read, listened to, andeven worked on media which portray themission and vision of the university. Thosewords and ideas that flowed through myconsciousness were simply intellectualwords and ideas. They have now taken ona new life. As a student I sometimes satthrough classes and lectures that felt likenear death experiences. But at the sametime, how many times my soul has beentouched by the Master and his servants’hands! How many times my intellect hasbeen pushed and led to new limits. The fireof learning and the spirit—while at timesdimmed due to personal choices—will al-ways be there if we do our part. Of coursethere are challenges and difficulties in anycommunity and society, but what a won-derful blessing to be involved in such heav-enly work, to make a positive impact onyoung people of the Church while at thesame time making an earthly living.”

On this early morning of tropical beau-ty and warmth, as students cross the cam-pus outside it is easy to perceive thepromise in President Shumway’s inspiredvision as he encapsulates both the missionand spirit of the university with character-istic conviction: “This campus,” he quiet-ly affirms, “is dedicated to the internation-alization of the Church.” ■ Vernice Wineera

I N T H E FA L L O F 1 9 6 2 , Dr. Nephi Georgi and the Arts and Sciences faculty of the

then Church College of Hawaii (later Brigham Young University-Hawaii Campus) de-

termined to establish an annual lecture series designed to further the purposes for

which the university was established, namely expanding academic insight and teach-

ing moral values on a universal stage. With its establishment a local platform was cre-

ated from which new knowledge and vital issues could be discussed by a distinguished

member of the faculty, including key administrative personnel who had come through

the faculty ranks. By approaching the subject matter with intellectual courage and vig-

or the designated faculty member would exemplify the inspired leadership of David O.

McKay, then president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, under whose

hand the university was established.

On February 19, 1963, Richard T.

Wootton, then serving as the second

president of the school, presented the

first David O. McKay Lecture. From

this beginning, the David O. McKay

Lecture has become a campus tradition

which continues into the 21st Century.

One goal in selecting lecturers over the

years has been to honor faculty mem-

bers whose association with the univer-

sity has been extensive. Of the nineteen

original faculty members of The

Church College of Hawaii, seven even-

tually delivered lectures.

In 1981, two previous lecturers, Jay

Fox and Eric Shumway, jointly con-

ceived the idea of publishing the first

twenty lectures in a single volume and

Fox began the task of locating type-

scripts, transforming them to copy-

texts, and developing drafts suitable for

editing purposes. The project lan-

guished for a period before Jesse Crisler,

a BYUH faculty member, drew on Fox’s earlier work and began editing the first 30 lec-

tures while also recovering as many of the original sources as possible. Later, in 1998,

Crisler and Fox together renewed interest in the project with the support of Shumway,

now president of BYU-Hawaii.

The completed volume, almost 500 pages in length, includes the edited lectures,

sources, notes, bibliographies, and lists of illustrations as well as photographs and

short biographies of all presenters. It’s title, “From This Place,” is taken from an idea

expressed in the address given by President David O. McKay at the dedication of CCH:

“You mark my word, . . . from this school, I’ll tell you, will go men and women whose

influence will be felt for good towards the establishment of peace internationally.”

The volume’s cover features two photographs of President David O. McKay, one of

a portrait by Roscoe A. Grover in the BYU-Hawaii art collection, and the other of Pres-

ident and Sister McKay during an early trip to Hawaii. The book is available through

the BYU-Hawaii bookstore for $28.75. Orders may be placed over the Internet through

kamiyad@byuh.edu or by fax to the campus bookstore (808) 293-3598. ■ Lou Ann Crisler

opportunities and challenges as he as-sumes his leadership role at the dawningof a new millennium. “The ongoing chal-lenge as we move into the next century liesin remaking ourselves,” he observes, “howdo we respond to the complex world of ourvarious student constituencies? How dowe help every student be as effective and assuccessful as he or she is able to be consid-ering the backgrounds they come from?We need to be very sophisticated in help-ing all of these students.”

A university, he maintains, is “a placewhere we have a faculty, academics devot-ed passionately to their realm of knowl-edge who concern themselves in dialoguewith colleagues in their field around theworld, who also interact with the next gen-eration of students who are, in a sense,participating with the faculty in the gener-ation of this discipline of knowledge. Stu-

dents learn to abstract themselves fromtheir normal patterns of thinking andlearn to think about the world in waysthey never thought of before.” The chal-lenge for BYU-Hawaii, he continues, is“trying to build faith and testimony anddevotion to the restoration of the gospel.”

Dean Belnap senses that BYUH andother schools in the Church Education Sys-tem will play a unique role in the globaliza-tion of the church. He feels it is particular-ly exciting to see the interface between aca-demic knowledge and the growth of theChurch. “For example, how does a Mor-mon professional think about family ther-apy in this context? How about if we applythis to the dynamics of Japanese or othercultures? Here [at BYU-Hawaii] we canperform a very specific and exciting role asthe Church unfolds during this last dispen-sation. We do this by applying PresidentMcKay’s phrase about becoming ‘a livinglaboratory’ of what it means to be ‘Mor-mon’ in an international environment.

“How do you integrate your faith withyour secular knowledge on one hand, andhow do you translate that across languagesand cultures on the other? My hope is thatwe can become an avant-garde, cutting-edge institution that looks at issues rele-vant to globalization and international cul-ture from as many disciplines as possible,so that we then can contribute insights notonly to our students directly, but also tothe ongoing question of how Mormonismis going to look.” This, he notes, is a ser-vice that this institution can provide. “It’slike the metaphor of the leavening: BYU-Hawaii can be part of the yeast in thebread; it can provide some of the meaning-ful life of the church.”

Describing the strengths of the Collegeof Arts and Sciences, Dr. Belnap relates,“We are well situated academically to takeadvantage of our unique environment. Wehave a fanatical faculty who are devoted totheir disciplines and who are deeply con-cerned about their students’ welfare. Myconcern is how do we help support the fac-ulty so they can more effectively expandtheir own minds and, therefore, impactthe lives of their students?”

Noting various challenges facingBYUH graduates after they leave the influ-ence of this campus, he asks, “How do we

help the students learn and remember thatthe most important thing is to keep thecommandments and build their testi-monies as they move into more aggressiveenvironments? The safety net isn’t alwaysthere; challenges of a profession, familyand financial insecurity are ever-present.Our graduates need to meet these chal-lenges in a faith-filled way.”

Believing that it is within the missionof the university to guide students and pro-vide them with a facilitating environmentwhere each student can progress academi-cally, the dean is convinced that BYU-Hawaii is well-situated to accomplish thismission. “Laie represents Mormon expan-

Chinese language courses. Working with the Divi-sion of Social Sciences, the Continuing Educationdivision will convene a Pacific Islands conferencein May 2000, and also co-sponsor a number ofsports programs on campus with the Exercise andSports Science division.

With the explosion in communications tech-nology, opportunities for non-traditional educa-tion abound and global use of the Church commu-nications network opens new possibilities for indi-vidual students. In this way, while physical enroll-ment at BYUH is limited, there is no enrollment capfor Continuing Education. Another strength in theDivision is the natural attraction of Hawaii as adestination site. People are eager to experienceHawaii’s unique culture, and programs which re-spond to this desire are very popular.

Continuing Education also works in partner-ship with commercial entities, most recently withthe China Tourism industry, in hosting studentsfrom Mainland China for immersion into Americanculture. Associate Dean Bigbie confesses that thistype of program is severely limited due to difficul-ties in obtaining visas, but by continuing effortsshe hopes to secure more participation.

CES programs are modified for our specificarea. Especially for Youth, a popular BYU Provoprogram, will be coming to Hawaii in the year2000. The program will be reduced from oneweek to four days, and program costs will be heldto a minimum allowing students statewide to par-ticipate. Depending upon its success, Theresa en-visions the program expanding to become an in-ternational event with the potential to reachyoung people around the entire Pacific rim. The

LDS Women’s Conference will also be modified tofulfill local needs. Held in conjunction with thesame conference at BYU in Provo, two days ofkeynote addresses and sessions from the Provoevent will be aired by tape delay and integratedinto local sessions. Additionally, with the renam-ing of Education Week to Education for Daily Liv-ing Week, CES faculty will be able to participatealong with local faculty to meet specific communi-ty needs.

One of the more exciting innovations thatTheresa is implementing is the BYU Provo Divisionof Continuing Education registration system. Thiswill allow more rapid and efficient processing thusgreatly expanding the Division’s capability to servecustomers. State-of-the-art systems and excellentprograms now available to BYU-Hawaii are due tothe recent merger of the BYU and BYUH Divisionsof Continuing Education. Theresa’s office reportsto Dean Richard Eddy at Provo and Vice-PresidentOlani Durrant at BYUH. She sees this as a definitestep in the right direction and attributes the divi-sion’s increasing success to members of her staff aswell as her colleagues on the Provo campus.

Theresa envisions the Division of ContinuingEducation as an ever-expanding platform forgrowth, limited only by resources and time. Amother of five, grandmother of sixteen, and ReliefSociety president of her home ward, her new po-sition as Associate Dean of Continuing Educationis guaranteed to keep her busy well into the 21stcentury. ■ Lou Ann Crisler

sion in the Pacific just as Mexico repre-sents its influence in North America, out-side the United States. With six to sevengenerations of Church members in the Pa-cific now, the university can take advan-tage of its central location.”

Even with his new responsibilities,Dean Belnap continues his own researchin his areas of expertise, Mexico and Cuba,and is committed to publication projectsand international conference presentationson these subjects. Thoughtfully question-ing his new role as the century turns, heobserves with a smile, “My personal chal-lenge is how do I become as cosmopolitanas our students?” ■ Dianna Neal

Theresa BigbieContinuing Education

THE ASSOCIATE DEAN of Continuing Education,Theresa Kalama Bigbie, is a 19-year BYU and BYUHemployee and alumna. Theresa, who has beenheavily involved as president of the Laie Commu-nity Association since 1991, defines the mission ofContinuing Education as “education for everyone,anytime, anyplace.” She feels that people in gen-eral and Church members in particular are grow-ing more interested in education, and that Contin-uing Education’s challenge is to anticipate andmeet these needs by extending the spirit and ser-vices of Brigham Young University-Hawaii.

Bounded only by the resources and creativityof the staff, the scope of Continuing Education iswidening. Included in its responsibilities are de-gree and non-degree programs for non-tradition-al students, evening classes, remedial Math 90and 99, community education and all CES pro-grams including “Education for Daily Living Week”which is part of “Education Week”, “Super Espe-cially For Youth”, “Women’s Conference”, andyouth conferences.

In addition, Continuing Education works inpartnership with the Polynesian Cultural Centersupporting the Elder Hostel and Aloha Summerprograms, as well as with the School of Educationin sending faculty to the South Pacific to provideeducation courses to teachers in the Church Edu-cation System. Another partnership with the U.S.Armed Forces provides a program of intensive

G lassware glitters, silverware sparkles, the menu includes fresh home-

made bread, Cantonese lemon chicken, Mongolian beef, Mexican flau-

tas, American hamburgers, and an all-you-can-eat salad bar with dozens

of items. Is it a fancy North Shore restaurant? No. It’s the BYU-Hawaii cafeteria,

preparing another 900+ lunches. That’s around 3,000 meals a day during the school

year, all under the able direction of diminutive but energetic Doyle and Lola Walker.

By the turn of the new year the Walkers will complete eight years of service to BYU-

Hawaii and return to Idaho.

The Walkers came to campus in 1992 as a result of a series of coincidences which

told them that “the Lord wanted us here,” they reveal. While Doyle flew to Hawaii

to begin work Lola remained behind to pack up and sell their home. She joined him

in late August. Two weeks later Hurricane Iniki blew through the islands giving them

cause to wonder what they were getting into.

Besides being responsible for planning and preparing thousands of meals daily,

the Walkers also oversee the Seasider Snack Bar, the Plantation Store, Game Room,

and Cannon Center concessions; regulate all campus vending; provide meals for the

Hawaii temple; and cater numerous special events on campus. As catering leadwork-

er, Lola confers with the administration to plan and carry out banquets, receptions,

open houses, parties, and guest luncheons. In the past year she has coordinated as

many as seventeen events in one week. She notes, “our biggest challenge was the To-

gether for Greatness celebration, requiring five days of catering, including five events

for more than 900 guests.” ➤

Both are quick tocredit the operation of

everything to their staff.Doyle manages twenty-five

full-time employees and 140 part-timestudent employees. Early every morningthe Walkers greet students as they enterthe cafeteria for breakfast. “We love gettingto know the students and watching themgrow and develop,” Doyle says. And, hisworkers point out, he leads by example.When there is a spill, more often than not,Doyle is there to help with the clean up.“After all,” he says smiling, “I know wherethe mop is.” He also comments that he es-pecially likes to work on the dirty dish lineto see what the students are not eating, tofind out why they didn’t like a particulardish, and to change the menu accordingly.This caring style of management hasgained the Walkers permanent friendshipsamong the students they serve and workwith, and is a reflection of Doyle’s early ex-perience in the catering business.

His family has been in the restaurantbusiness since 1948 when they established

several Walker’s Cafes throughout south-ern Idaho. He recalls being fascinated as a

child by watching the cooks work and not-ing their satisfaction when they servedcustomers. His first eight-hour shift came

when he was 13 at a Pioneer Day pan-cake breakfast. The first shift cook

called in sick so Doyle came inearly and stayed the whole

eight hours, turning 35 gal-lons of batter into 6,000pancakes. He still loves tobake, and experiments

with bread recipes in his breadmaker at home every night then

gives away the fresh loaves the nextmorning to friends he meets on his

way to work.Doyle and Lola met while in high

school in Rigby, Idaho. Lola had stopped atReed Drug Store for a soda on her wayhome from school. With a twinkle in hiseyes Doyle tells how he found the walletshe left and used returning it as an excuseto ask her out. They are the parents of threesons, eleven grandchildren and one great-granddaughter. None of their sons has fol-lowed them into food service, but all havefollowed them to Hawaii for visits. One ofthe compelling reasons Doyle and Lola arereturning to Idaho is to spend more timewith their family and enjoy getting to knowtheir grandchildren as they miss sup-porting their grandchildren inschool and community sportsand other events.

In Doyle’s words, thebiggest challenge the Walkersface at BYU-Hawaii is “trying to meetthe needs of all the students and keepthem coming back.” Committed to theidea that no one will leave the cafeteriahungry, one of their innovations has beenan “all-you-can-eat” cafeteria. While stu-dents may select only one entree at a time,they may return for as many as they de-sire. The results of this policy have beenhappier and healthier students, a moreopen environment, and less waste.

The Walkers want students to feel that“control is the best thing you can have.”

Students can control every aspect of theircampus food service experience which gen-erally leads to healthier choices. Doylefeels one always “gets better results whenyou treat people like you would want to betreated.” And the results are evident in theway current students and alumni love theWalkers. As Chris Lowe, a student baker,explains, “they are the nicest managers Ihave ever had.” Past workers often bringtheir families back to meet Doyle and Lola,and a chorus of “Alohas” always greetsthem as they walk about campus.

Another food services challenge is howto deal with the diversity on campus; howto appeal to all ethnic groups by providingvariety in the menus. Mexican food seemsto be popular with almost everyone, andthe ubiquitous hamburger is a staple. TheWalkers have found that students fromMongolia relish the beef dishes, Cantonesestudents love the lemon chicken, and Poly-nesian students enjoy the sweet potatoes.For those with specific food needs, theWalkers provide special diets of vegetarian,lactose intolerant, and other menus. Theyalso carefully counsel with students whosuffer from allergies, often making specialindividual meals just for them. After all,Lola says, “these kids are just like ours.”

The work also has its ups and downs.Lola remembers the day 425 off-island stu-

dents unexpectedly appeared at the cafe-teria for lunch. She says, “things

were a bit hectic for a while andyou’ve never seen sandwiches

made so fast, but we managed tofeed them all.” Then, there was the

day the Banyan Room’s ceiling col-lapsed a half hour before a special lun-

cheon, burying carefully set tables andcenterpieces under inches of rubble. Lolachanged the venue to another room, mar-shalled her staff, and the luncheon wentoff on time with scarcely any glitches. An-other incident involved a student who wasmoving two 55 gallon drums of punch tothe ballroom. The food cart caught on thekitchen door sill and both punch and stu-dent ended up on the walkway. Uninjuredbut still lying prone, his first question:

Winter 2000 13

“Will we have to make more punch?” sentboth the Walkers and the catering staffinto gales of laughter.

In 1998 Doyle convinced his brotherand sister-in-law, Clyde and Alice Walker,to leave the Food Court at ZCMI in SaltLake City and join him in Laie. The ClydeWalkers came as LDS Church missionariesand immediately went to work in a newscheme. Doyle had been wanting to start asandwich bar but just hadn’t had the timeto get it organized, so Clyde and Alice es-tablished it. The huge loaves of white,wheat, multi-grain, herb and other breads,cut in thick slices and piled high with fa-vorite fixings, are a great success andamong the most popular items offered bythe campus food services staff.

Yet another improvement is takingplace under their management. Since hisarrival on campus Doyle has lobbied tohave the Marriott training kitchen becomepart of the university cafeteria and has fi-nally gained approval. Soon the existingcampus bakery department will be movedinto the top-of-the-line facility to producemore and better delicacies. This will alsorelieve general crowding in the fresh foodpreparation areas.

Hawaii has become home for bothDoyle and Lola. From their two-storied du-plex on Kamehameha Highway they enjoywatching the ocean for the rare and spec-tacular antics of whales migrating alongOahu’s windward coast. Lola recallsrounding a corner on the highway one dayand seeing her first whale in Kahana Bay.“I almost ran off the road,” she laughs.

Doyle served seven years on a BYUHstudent stake High Council. Lola servedfour years on a stake Relief Society boardand three years as stake Relief Society pres-ident, and in their many round-the-clockwork and campus activities, it is evident toall who come in contact with them thatthe Walkers share the gift of charity. Theirlove for the students is reciprocated as thestudents, often prone to homesickness,find surrogate grandparents in the genuinecaring the Walkers give them. For theirpart, they both express admiration for the

unique ways that BYUH students magnifytheir callings. In the Laie multicultural ac-tivities, “I soon learned that theIdaho/Utah way is not the only way to dothings,” Lola reflects.

Their BYU-Hawaii experience hasblessed their lives in other ways too, asLola asks, “Where else could we minglewith kings, princesses, heads of countries,and prophets and apostles?” In addition tothe thousands of students and specialguests they have catered for over their timeon campus, they have served PresidentHunter twice and President Hinckley morethan half a dozen times.

As they leave BYU-Hawaii they plan tospend time with their grandchildren beforeresponding to an invitation to assist withthe opening of food services at the BYUCenter in Nauvoo, Illinois. According toDoyle, no matter what the future holds forthem it will continue to include some as-pect of food service. “I eat and drink foodservice,” he says, beaming his widest “alo-ha” smile. ■ Lou Ann Crisler

14 Brigham Young University-Hawaii Campus

TOPTIERTHIS YEAR BYU-HAWAII was recog-

nized as a first tier institution by U.S.

News and World Report’s 2000 edition

of America’s Best Colleges. We were

ranked 14th among the 61 liberal arts

colleges in the 15 western states of the

United States. This ranking included all of the

public and private liberal arts colleges and univer-

sities from Alaska, Hawaii, Washington, Oregon,

California, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Mon-

tana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Okla-

homa and Texas.

The first tier ranking is important to us because it acknowledges the quality of the

education provided here in Laie. We have always known that this special campus has

provided a unique spiritual and cultural quality but this ranking verifies that the BYU-

Hawaii experience also provides academic quality. Robert J. Morse of U.S. News &

World Report states “But we believe it is possible to objectively compare schools on one

key attribute: academic excellence.” He discusses the ranking in the U.S. News publi-

cation. “It relies on quantitative measures that education experts have proposed as re-

liable indicators of academic quality.” What is most important to us at BYU-Hawaii is

that the rankings are based upon what Morse calls “our impartial views of what mat-

ters in education.”

The first criterion that U.S. News used to determine academic quality was acade-

mic reputation. On a five-point scale, we improved from 3.3 last year to 3.4 currently.

This reputation is determined by academic leaders in our 61 peer colleges and univer-

sities. Although we are ranked 14th overall, we are tied for eighth in academic reputa-

tion.

This reaffirms to us that our academic reputation has been growing over the years.

We have established a planning process within the university that has identified Key

Performance Indicators to measure our progress toward excellence. Many of these per-

formance indicators are also used by U.S. News to determine academic excellence. We

have become strong in several areas in addition to academic reputation. Our student se-

lectivity rank has improved from 11th last year to 1st this year. This means that our

student body continues to improve. This is especially im-

portant because we have been able to do this while main-

taining our cultural diversity. The university’s intention in

the future is to increase the number of foreign students on

campus while continuing to improve the quality of the stu-

dent body.

The Church has supported the university financially

and we continue to be thankful for that support. We have

moved from 4th last year to 3rd this year in financial re-

sources. This represents the total amount of money spent

per student without consideration for regional cost of living

differences. In a related indicator, our faculty resources rank

has improved from 56th to 36th overall. The financial por-

tion of the faculty resources indicator takes into account re-

gional cost of living adjustments and the high cost of living

in Hawaii severely restricts this variable for us.

Two areas where we need improvement are in our grad-

uation & retention rate and in our alumni-giving rate. The university planning process

has addressed our graduation and retention. As a result, many initiatives have been

implemented to improve and support the individual student’s progress toward gradu-

ation. The results of these efforts will become obvious in the next five or six years.

With patience we will see the ranking of the college continue to improve as more of our

students stay and graduate. Our alumni association is involving more alumni in fund

raising and the percent of graduates who have contributed to the university has in-

creased from 2% two years ago to 4% this year. We are currently ranked 50th in alum-

ni giving. This ranking is disappointing and certainly doesn’t represent what is in the

hearts of our graduates. Our goal is to increase our alumni-giving rate to at least 25%

of our graduates. We feel that this can happen in the next two years.

With this in mind, our goal is to be in the top ten in the next few years. The top

ranked liberal arts college in the west was Albertson College in Idaho, in the Midwest

it was Hillsdale College in Michigan, in the north it was Stonehill College in Massa-

chusetts and in the south it was Berea College in Kentucky. The number one ranked na-

tional liberal arts college was Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania.

BYU-Hawaii was the only university in Hawaii ranked in the top tier in it’s catego-

ry. The only other university in Hawaii that was in the same category was the Univer-

sity of Hawaii-Hilo. UH-Hilo was ranked as a second tier liberal arts college in the west,

although it was third of the 12 or so public liberal arts colleges in that category. UH

Manoa was in the third tier of national universities and Hawaii Pacific University and

Chaminade University were third and fourth tier respectively in the regional universi-

ty category. ■ Keith J. Roberts, Assistant to the President, Institutional Research and Planning

travelled Europe successfully securingworld trade in vanilla and other Tonganproducts.

In his personal life, William was a lov-ing father and devoted husband to Fane,his wife. He was a scholar of both secularand gospel studies all of his life, and de-lighted in intellectual exploration and dis-cussion. He had a clear vision of the mean-ing of life and our individual purpose in theSavior ’s great plan for the salvation ofmankind. William once said, “I believe wehave several missions in life. When one isfinished we move on to another. There aretimes when we do not fully understandwhen one mission is completed and anoth-er about to begin. Sometimes the Lordgives us a nudge; a helping push to get usstarted, but if we will listen to the “small,quiet voice”, if we are honest to thepromptings of our Heavenly Father, therewill be no uncertainties.”

He often expressed gratitude for his ex-perience as a student here at BYU-Hawaii,noting on one occasion, “BYU-Hawaii hasmade me realize that education, that intel-ligence, is not just the acquisition ofknowledge. At BYU-Hawaii I became muchmore aware of a need to be committed, notonly to the acquisition of knowledge, but tothe application of knowledge within the pa-rameters of service and truth.” Williamconducted his life of truth and service tohis family, his Church, his king and hiscountry with unquestioning certainty. Inthe Legislative Assembly of Tonga he is re-membered as a talented linguist, a capableperson with both excellent analytical abili-

ty and dry wit who “loved Tonga with tenderness, honored[Tonga] with respect, and cherished it with devotion.”

For his keen, inquiring mind and lifelong thirst for knowl-edge; for his loving service of his family and Church; for hisyears of work in service of his country and the people of Ton-ga; for his absolute devotion to his Lord and Savior; and for hisexemplary life as a representative of all of us at this universi-ty, Brigham Young University–Hawaii Campus is pleased topresent its December 1999 Distinguished Service Award toJames William Harris. ■

Pacific TourTWENTY-THREE BYU-Hawaii studentsperformed for audiences in Samoa, West-ern Samoa, and Australia over a 29-daytour this year. Three performing groups,the Jazz Ensemble, Pacific Power Hornsand Rhythm, and the Frontline Singersperformed in public schools, universities,concert halls, and an internationally ac-claimed jazz festival. They also held fivemusical clinics with area school children,and were featured on three radio inter-views and a TV show. The students pro-vided four different musical firesides formulti-stake areas in Sydney, Perth, Apia,and Pago Pago to capacity crowds of LDS youth at which everystudent on the tour was assigned to give talks and musicalnumbers. The programs also included area Church leaders.

Some highlights include the Sydney Darling Harbour JazzFestival where the BYU-Hawaii bands were the only non-pro-fessional groups invited to perform in a two hour 45 minutespot concluding with a seven minute synchronized fireworksshow accompanied by the jazz ensemble. The performancebrought rave reviews from both the audience and festival orga-nizers. Fireworks technician Sal Sharah commented he had“never seen a synchronized show turn out so well . . . the tim-

ing perfected with the last glowing burst,and the music so appropriate for such anevent.” He noted, “the whole audiencecould feel that something special was hap-pening up on stage during the entire per-formance.”

Many personal responses to the stu-dents, their spirituality, and their talentswere expressed by exuberant audiencemembers, particularly by inactive mem-bers and non-members alike. At the Syd-ney Town Hall, three generations of an in-active family were impressed by the quali-ty of the performance, its message, andthe gospel spirit they enjoyed, noting that“it got them talking about the gospel againin their home.”

Phillip Baker, Church Public Affairs Director for the Perth,Australia area commented “This jazz band tour has had agreater impact on the non-LDS population than any previoustour to the area, including the BYU-Provo Singers two yearsago and even the Tabernacle Choir a year before that,” notingthat “over half the audience were non-members, and manywere deeply touched by the performance.”

The 23 students gave 25 performances over their 29 daytour leaving audiences in three countries with an indelible im-pression of BYU-Hawaii, the Church, and the joy of theGospel of Jesus Christ. Mahalo nui loa! ■

Sports UpdateTHE WOMEN’S tennis team brought home BYU-Hawaii’sfirst NCAA Division II national title this past Spring. TheLady Seasiders capped an undefeated season by blitzing thefield at the national tournament in May, losing only one indi-vidual set during the tournament. It was the third consecutivenational championship for the team, the first two coming inthe NAIA.

The Seasiders also received several prestigious awards atthe tournament banquet. Head Coach David Porter wasnamed ITA West Region Women’s Coach of the Year and ITANCAA Division II National Women’s Coach of the Year. Fresh-man Petra Gaspar was named ITA West Region and NCAA Di-vision II National Rookie of the Year. Sophomore HelenaNordwall was named ITA West Region Play-er to Watch.

Petra Gaspar was also named a finalistfor the prestigious Honda Award given an-nually to the top female athlete in each divi-sion. Being named the finalist from NCAADivision II tennis recognizes her as the topplayer in the division.

Gaspar continued her winning ways dur-ing the ITA/Rolex fall season. She won theNCAA II ITA/Rolex national singles title andwent on to claim the “Small College SuperBowl” of tennis. The “Super Bowl” pits thewinners of each of the small college divisions(NCAA II, NCAA III, NAIA, NJCAA) againsteach other for the right to join the top 19NCAA Division I players in a tournamentafter the first of the year. Gaspar teamed with new doublespartner Tagifano So’onalole to win the same two titles in thedoubles competition.

In other Spring sports, the Seasider men’s tennis teamcompleted the season with a 23-7 dual-match record and nar-rowly missed a trip to the national tournament. Senior Wei-YuSu was honored as the ITA West Region and ITA NCAA Divi-sion II National Senior Player of the Year. The women’s fast-pitch softball team went from 10 wins the previous year to aglossy 30-18-1 record, which included an 18-game winningstreak.

This Fall the women’s volleyball team has been ranked inthe top two in the nation in every national poll and complet-ed the regular season as the Pacific West Conference Champi-on with a perfect 14-0 conference record. The Seasiders weretoppled in the conference postseason tournament by HawaiiPacific in five games, but both teams moved on to the NCAAII Regional Tournament.

Senior Arlete Silva became the all-timekills leader in Seasider history and seniorsetter Juliana Lima, who started the seasonas the all-time assists leader at the school,continued to add to her record.

The women’s cross country team justcompleted their most successful season everby taking fourth place at the NCAA II Pacif-

ic Regional Meet. The Seasiders finished third in the PacWestConference. The team featured no seniors so the future looksbright. The men’s cross country team did not fare as well butshowed considerable improvement over past seasons.

The men’s soccer team stumbled to a 3-7-1 record thisyear that was a bit of a disappointment after last season’s win-ning record. However, the level of competition the Seasiderstook on this year was significantly better than in the past andthe team is still making progress.

BYU-Hawaii’s only winter sport, men’s basketball, is setto tip-off another season and optimism is high with returningAll-American David Evans listed as one of the nation’s “SweetSixteen” Division II players. A highlight of the season will bethe second annual Pearl Harbor Invitational to be held De-cember 21–23. This year’s tournament will feature the storiedprogram of UCLA along with Colorado State, San Jose State,The Citadel, Maine, South Florida, Florida A & M, and thehost Seasiders. ■ Scott Lowe

PRESIDENT Eric B. Shumwaynotes that “Friends, alumni,students, and strangers haveopened their hearts freely tohelp secure BYU-Hawaii’s fu-ture in the form of scholar-

ships, learning enhancements, and theHawaiian Studies program.”

But, he maintains, “it wasn’t just fund-ing these priorities that has been so satis-fying. It has also been the opportunity tosee the university’s impact on donors, par-ticularly those who visited our campus, in-teracted with students, and learned howthe university is fulfilling its propheticmission set forth by President David O.McKay in 1955. That mission embracesparticularly the young people of the Pacificand Asian Rim countries, many of whomhave little hope of higher education with-out the financial support of the Churchand private donors.

“The capital campaign has given usmore focused reasons to ponder deeply theschool’s past achievements. We can seemore clearly its vast opportunities for thefuture as a training ground for Churchleaders internationally, as a major forcewith its companion institution, the Poly-

nesian Cultural Center, in pre-paring LDS young people to func-tion with competence, sensitivity,and an appreciation within themulticultural contexts worldwide.Unity in the faith and harmony incultural diversity are the centralcomponents to BYU-Hawaii’s ed-ucational experience.

“The capital campaign has linked usmore tightly to our sister institution,Brigham Young University, in Provo. Eachare seen more as a mainstream contributorto Church education and to the Church asa whole.

“Finally, the campaign has put BYU-Hawaii in closer touch with people ofgoodwill all over the world. It has tied usmore closely to our alumni and fosteredtestimonials regarding the value of theireducational experiences that have createda new vision and enthusiasm for the Lord’sfuture purposes.

“I believe we all have a greater aware-ness of our stewardship as a result of thecampaign. There is also a deeper sense ofpartnership with those whose investmentswill make the campus even a greater lightto the world in the 21st century.” ■

Lighting the Way for the 21st Century

A T I M E T O S H I N EUnlike many capital campaigns, Light-

ing the Way for the 21st Century is not

a means to an end, but rather the

means to a beginning. We know there

is much yet to be done, and although

we cannot see all that the future holds,

we can clearly see that today is a

defining moment in BYU’s history. In

celebrating a new beginning filled with

growing potential and great optimism,

it is a time to shine. It is a time to vig-

orously and more effectively share our

special light of hope with the world.
