The North Shore Jam shook Haleiwa · tewn wtth t!le sounds f three bands on Sunday,· April 5.

Held at the old Haleiwa Theatre, the concert was sponsored by 98 Rock as a fund-raiser to restore the theatre. · The crowd was very mellow and happy, in spite of the late start of the cor)cert. But with $1.98 admission and lots of cheap beer, on a beautiful Sun­day afternoon on the North Shore, the crowd couldn't help but be con­tent.

The event turned out :to be worth waiting for. The Dragons started off the afternoon with a set of original tunes that got the theatre rock in'.

Next, the New Wavers had their chance, with music from The Squids, one of Hawaii's best known new wave

A total of 101 works inCiucfing ceramics, painting, sculpture, drawing

· ·and photography will be exhibited. The show will be judged by Carol

Langner, manager of the very exclu­sive "Following Sea" at Ala Moana. · Her decision will determine which works will be awarded the various prizes. -

Three awards will be presented, $25

P(lradise! · bands. The Squids· played a variety of new wave tunes that got the crowd off thei,: seats allP on to th.e dance flo r.

The crqwd kept dancing and the . beer kept coming while they waited

for the ·headlrners of the afternoon. The closing band was. the well known

rock band, Teazer. Tookie and the boys, Jim, Stan, Bob, and Rich; kept the crowd on their feet with many popular hits as well as songs from their new album, "Hard As A Rock".

The dance floor took up steadily larger portions of the lower level of

' the theatre, where all the seats had been removed.

Teazer kept the North Shore Jammin' til sun·s.et, and the crowd left the old, once beauHful theatre after a full day of b~er and rock and rotl, and rockin'· in Paradise.

· Recently, it .has been learn.ed that V.ietnamese refugees· in the ~an Fran­cisco area have been catchmg dogs and cats in the public parks to supple-ment their diet. · ,

The practice of eating dogs. and cats is common in the Orient and Pacific Islands. A few years ago luaus offering ilio(dogs) as their main course were 'very .popular.

The fact that many people eat dogs and cats does not soothe the feelings of many upset Americans; even San Francisco residents were shocked over the immorality of the incidents. Even San Franciscans, who one might think that nothing could ·shock them anymore.

Practically speaking; animals are animals, so what is the difference be­tween a cat and a cow, other than the fact that a cow doesn't rub against your leg and purr? To the Vietnamese refugees, there is no difference between pets. and farm animals when they are hungry.

The question ~ost Americans should ask is "whose dog was it?"" or "Why weren1 t the refugees getting enough to eat?" instead of "How could some one eat a dog?"

Wel1-fed Americans don't know how it feels to be hungry. They can't sympathize with a man who is forced to eat a dog or cat.

Of · course the dog-napping will have to stop. Parks cannot be pre,­serves for hungry immigrants. But branding people as barbarians just because their culture .does not make the same distinction between pets and food-animals is ridiculous. It must be very hard for the immigrants to live without meat when dozens of meals are fr:olicking in the park. ·

Taking dogs from the park is wrong but .so is judging another person's culture. In the future, I hope that agencies will look into the problems , of the refugee and try to solve them. Meanwhile, Americans must learn to act with a little more compassion and understanding, and a little less ethno­centricity.

donated by the Associated Student Body, · an additional $25 ·donated by Friends of the Fine Arts, and one pur­chase award by the Provost.

No work will be , sold on the premises, but information will be provided to enable buyers to deal directly with the artist. Students whose work .have been accepted will be asked to attend the show.

The exhibition will be on view during normal mall hours: Fr,iday: M.ay 1, 10 a.m. - 9 p.m. Saturday: May 2, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Sunday: May 3, 11 a:.m ......... 4 p.m.

. The 't~gisf'ature Witt vote ton~h't on $2.051 million in capital-improvement project funds for the KCC Ruger Campus.

The Conference Committee agreed upon $664,000 for design money and $1.387 million for con­struction of the first increment.

The green light was gi~en to start the architectural design phase of the Kapiolani campus at Diamond Head, by Matsushita and Associates. This was made possible by the acceptance

of the Envrronmenta' tmpact. State­ment by Governor George Ariyoshi.

The Governor stated, "My accept­ance of the statement is an affirma­tion of the adequacy of that state- · ment'1

, but also· added uThis EIS will be a usefu·l tool in the process of deciding whether or not the action descri~ed therein should or should not be allowed ~to prqce.ed and does not constitute an endorsement of the propqsed a~tion."

Pioneer Chicken-Kahala Mall I'm sure most of you are well

acquainted with Pioneer Chicken, but you may not have tried the new Strips-n-Chips. This meal consists of three small pieces of deep fired chicken and a bag of fries. The chi_cken itself is rather ordinary, but the Hawaiian barbeque -sauce they serve with it is great. This sauce could make shoe leather palatable. But even with the great sauce, this light snack is no~ worth $2. ·

Patti's Chinese Kitchen-Ala Moana Center

In my opinion, Patti's js- one of the best buys on the island. ~or only $2.75 you can have yourchoiceofrice or noodles and two meat dishes. Selection might be a problem be­cause of the variety of meat dishes

·available such as beef broccoli, char siu, and roast chicken. Patti's not only has great tasting food, but they dish it out with a shovel (not really): rf you're into Chine·se food, head on down to Pa-tti's.

FORUM Where is YOUR ss ?

Year after year students are required to pay a $5.00 Activity Fee, while never being told what activities will be offered. The Student Government has the responsibility of distributing the fu_nds equally so that there will be balanced sports, activities and publi;.. cation programs.

Lanai. The amount for May Day Acti­vity is not included in the above figure.

Taking it in Stride In regards to spprts, a total of $9,415

had been set aside. Only $6,325.47 was spent up until April 26 for Inter­Community College Golf, Volleyball, Basketball and Mini-Olympic games held at U.H. Manoa. This year Kapio had hoped to share

with th¢ students of KCC how jour­nalism and art could enhance _pub1i­carion that ·underwent bitter criticism at the beginning of the semester for being blase and unprof~ssional.

In this light 'Kapio has attempted to motd together a well-working staff and an informative paper. While the plant may grow with supporting roots, writers and editors behind the scenes contributed ideas and man­power , to aid Kapio's own destrny. With foundational support, Kapio has been -able to meet the criteria set upon us by Student Government.

Unfortunately, when Student Government was grading and judging Kapio's workln-the beginning of the semester, those delays did not leave enough time for .the formal bidding procedure required by the State_ for any C0!1tract in excess of $4000.

Kapio has sudden[y been left with a lack of funds as we come to the d_ose of this semester, and as a result this last paper is only four pages~ If an agreement had been made early enough in the year regarding Kapio's status, a contract could have been signed in excess of the inadequate $4000. -· What seems so ironic is that after-all

this time of working to s~t new goals and to improve a paper that Student Government felt was inadequate, what reaiJy has changed? Is it any dif­ferent now when you approach a stu­dent. gov~rnmep.t offker to ask a spe­cific question 1

Kapio had to pay for something brought about frqm a group· whose ideas then and now appear disor­ganized and conflicting; a group whose overall workability together consists of whispers of dissatisfaction.

Is Pidgin, English 1 · For a student at Kaplolani Commu­

nity College, it all begins with aplace­ment test, a requirement before a stu-_lent may register for his English or math course. For those students who place in the level of English-100, the course may be more than they bar­gained for.

English 100 at KCC is an expository writing class dealing primarily with / comparisons of languages. Those in­dude the language of pol.itics, adver­tising, and Hawaiian English versus standard English·. If the student is not familiar with pidgin, he will have diffi­culty with this course. English 100 has oeen designed for those people who have been raised on the Islands. Stu­dents coming in from the Mainland are placed at a disadvantage because most of them have never heard the word pidgin, let alone speak i.t.

Many people attending college, especially adults, want to further their education to get ahead in life, either to obtain a higher position, or to make more money. In .any case, Hawaiian English is not advantageous.

English 100 is a required course for any type of a degree. Although there are other sections of the course that in_clude Pidgin, one does not know which is the Hawaiian English at the time of registration.

Pidgin is a part of the Islands, and therefore, should remain here. How­ever, just like slang words s·uch as 11ain't," it should not be taught in school.

Mary Zaharis

ability together consists of whispers of dissatisfaction. Let us hope Student Government and their advisor have a nice summer break, but hey, start early, get to really know each other and try to do it right this time!

Kapio hopes you've found some­thing out from reading the paper,a.nd while another semester ends, a new phase begins. It would be great to continue what has been started; and so if there are ~ny closet writers out there, or just students who would like to get jnvolved, we welcome your support. Kapio ·fs what people put into-it, a representation of student life and a combination of eager minds and working bodies. Let's do it again. ·

The total compiled-figure of$48,605 with which Student Government be­gan the year 1980-81, has been di­vided among Activities, Publications for: Kapio and Sports. Each divisio_n re­ceived a total of 32%,18% and 19% re-

- spectively~ Student Government re­tained the remaining 33% as a source of emergency funds. ,

The amount set aside for Activities was $15,590, out of which $3,581.07 has been spent at the time of this writ­ing. This also includes a sum of $1,276.91 spent on the llikai Spring Dance which brought in as income of $93.

All in all this event was regarded as a success in terms of student partici­pation as compar~d to other such events held at the KCC Pensacola

The Kapio budget had been ap­proved for $6000 a year. Out of this money practically all has been uti­lized for printing, student help, photography and postage.

After all has been said and done, Student Government Se·nate still lands-up with a tremendous $17:,645 to spend. Only 3,237.07 - ha~ been uti­lized for various workshops and other significant meetings.

Therefore an estimated $19,143.61 has been spent out of the grand total. Isn't it possible for Student Govern­ment to organize a wider variety of activities? The year 1980-81 may be running out ... but there's always

. KCC Student Survey: Purposely Misleading 'I On April15, 1981 an article written

by Rachel Perry appeared on the front page of the Kaimuki-Kahala Sun Press. The headline which states, 11 KCC Students Reject Campus Move Plans, Cobb Survey Reveals," .as well as the open.ing paragraph of the story

whkh says, 11Most students attending . KCC Pensacola campus prefer to stay put rather than move to the Diamond Head site at Fort Ruger, according to a survey of KC.C students," !s to say the least;-exfreme y~m•sfeadmg. How can .a headline of this nature exist in light of the fact that Senator Cobb claimed the major fallacy in this ·survey is its size? Only 6% of the surveys given to the KCC student government were returned.

The article failed to mention the

fact that out of 181 Sl:Jrveys submitted, not all the questions were answered. There are percentages given that do not properly represent the total -number of answered questions.

The survey which was conducted by the student government on behalf of Senator Cobb did not even have a question which asked students that if they had a choice, where would they prefer the development of KCC's new campus to take place, Diamond Head-Fort R~r or Pensacola.

Maybe a simple straight-out ques­tion such as this would not have pro­duced the desired results sought by certain individuals or, on the other hand, maybe' _the survey- was not worded in a manner which coincided with its original intent of obtaining a balanced and unbiased poll of stu-

dent's opinions and concerns for the future development of KC_C's new campus. Question 7 on the survey came the closest to achieving this objective by as.J<ing, 11Which KCC campus do you prefer to attend"? The response showed 76 students pre­ferred Pensacola, 93 Diamond Head and 12 had no answer. Students

_answering the survey could have very easily interpreted this question to mean, 11Under the current situation, which campus do YC?..l! P:.:.r.::.ef:..::e:..:..r..._.!:o:::..__~~~ atten . -----

After reading the questions pre­sented -on the su,rvey and. seeing the manner in which some were worded, it is not hard to conclude that there are more fallacies to the survey other than its size.

Feiffer's People: (1 tor) Ronnie Charm, Mary's Bernard and Superman. You won't want to miss meeting them! . '

Drama Class Comes to Life By Stefi n McCargar

The buzzer sounds and suddenly the chapel is filled with voice and energy. There's Bernard, the nerdy guy who never gets the girl but keeps on trying anyway. There's Harold Swerg, a gifted athelete who only wants to be a filing cler~, and Ronnie Charm-, the Hollywood movie star turning politician.

There's a lusty love scene in which two giggling lovers ~mbrace and slide behind a wall in total darkness. Sud­denly a round of 110H GODS" and 11 IT1 S WONDERFUL" are heard makin-g it dear that they are

11jnvolved." When they are finished, Bernard tells Joyce that he loves her and Joyce exclaims, 110h Bernard, why did you have to ruin it!"

There's also a tramp and a foreign artist who wants to be a shoe sales­man. These people are a bit neurotic, a bit off the wa·IJ, a bit pathetic, and a bit like you and me. They sing and· dance, they laugh· and cry .. You'll find these characters and much more in the Drama 222 production of 11Feiffer's People."

11Feiffer's People" is a satirical review and 11 nOt the regular run-of­the-mill play,,. according to drama instructor Sandy Perez. It is 'not a play

with one main story but rather short skits and sketches Josely united by a central theme. The writer, Jules Feiffer, is a cartoonist who has taken his best cartoons and made them come to life. Feiffer likes to hit on the absurdity of things in life and he pokes fun at the game playing we all do. 11 lt makes very serious comments about the type of society we live in/' says Perez.

The play -js full of wit and humor ~nd good . fun. Join them May 1 at noon and May 4 at 8 p.m. in the Chapel off Monsarrat Avenue. There is no admission charge but donations will be accepted at the door.

New P.E. Classes Offered·

As a result of a stud~nt opin,ion poll on .possible ·new physical education class additions to KCC's curriculum, the administration has added the ~ist of new classes. .
