Art can be free speech, according to Roger Fonseca from the American Civil Liberties Union. “Free speech is anything that tries to get a message across,” Fonseca said. “Yes there’s free speech, but you can limit it reasonably.” On Tuesday morning, about 80 people gathered in front of HauMĀNA’s mural by the Art Building to pro-test for their right for free speech and against the devel-opment of telescopes on Mauna Kea. Words that were painted on the mural were covered because they did not

match the design that was approved to be painted. “We’re on a university,” Hawaiian cultural practitio-ner Andre Perez said. “We’re talking about free speech to express our politics and our cultural values. And that includes protecting our sacred mountain.” HauMĀNA is a student movement for “aloha no ka ‘āina,” or “love for the land.”

FREE SPEECH “The First Amendment protects speech that is con-troversial, speech that is unpopular, speech that is pro-vocative, speech that is critical,” said political science professor Katharina Heyer.

According to Heyer, students at the university have fairlybroad freedom of expression rights. “On the other hand, the university also has the right to maintain the proper functioning and order of the universi-ty,” Heyer said. “So they have the right to place limitations on the freedom of expression.” Heyer said the limitations the university places on free speech have to be reasonable and content-neutral. Reason-able includes making sure the acts of free speech are not disrupting the functions of the university. Content-neutral means the university should not be interested in the content of the speaker or the speaker’s message.

According to UH Mānoa’s Practices and Procedures Governing Time, Place and Manner of Public Speech Activities, the Campus Center Forum can be used for public speech activities on a fi rst-come-fi rst-serve basis, with the proper clearance from the Campus Center Scheduling Offi cer. These activities can be conducted as long as the activities are conducted in an orderly manner and do not interfere with classroom construction, offi ce or student privacy, study conditions, meetings and ceremonies, pedestrian or vehicular traffi c or other functions of the campus. Sound amplifi cation equipment can be used in the designated public forum area as long as it does not interfere with the campus’ educational functions and affairs. Board of Publications chairwoman Rebekah Carroll said the Ka Leo student newspaper is avail-able for free speech.

The right for free speech on campus

According to Heyer, the uni-versity designates free speech venues on campus. “But once the university desig-nates spaces, then they are bound,” Heyer said. “Their restrictions have to be content-neutral. They have to be necessary for fulfi lling the university’s mission.” According to Matthew Nagata, president of Campus Center Board, students have the right to assemble. “Students have the right to as-semble, but if the rally or event were to be held in a ‘reservable’ space in the Campus Center complex, we would ask that the organizing party contact Campus Center Meeting and Events Services to reserve the space,” Na-gata said. “If a group were to occupy a reserved space without a reservation, the group could be asked to leave.” According to Nagata, campus administration has the right to disperse any event that causes a disruption to normal operations or poses a threat. “As with any gathering, per UH system’s policies, campus administration has the right to disperse an event that causes a disruption to normal operations or poses a threat to health or safety,” Nagata said.

THE MURAL WITH A MESSAGE According to Nagata, the con-struction company owns the con-struction barriers that were paint-ed for the Ka Leo Arts Festival and has delegated the responsibility of managing and governing postings on the exterior of the boards to the campus, which delegated the responsibility to the CCB.

On Saturday afternoon, Ka Leo requested that the painters of the mural cover the painted words, “UH cannot be a Hawaiian place of learning while leading the desecration of Mauna a Wākea. Hey UH, be accountable… Be a Hawaiian place of learning… Stand with the people… Stop the desecration. Stop the thirty meter telescope!” The painters refused and were told the words would be

covered if they didn’t cover them. For the construction barriers to be used for the festival, Ka Leo had to ask for approval by the CCB. “As part of the standard CCB proposal process, Ka Leo includ-ed eight sketches of the proposed murals as well as some logisti-cal details to CCB,” Nagata said. “The CCB evaluated the proposal, including the provided sketches.” The Facilities Management com-mittee recommended the proposal to the General Board, which approved the eight sketches as submitted for exhibition on the barricade walls. “There was concern about vandalism and maintenance, so we were given some guidelines that we had to follow,” Board of Publications chairwoman Re-bekah Carroll said. “And one guideline did state that what was painted had to match the ap-proved design.” The words on the mural were

painted over with the Ka Leo Arts Festival information, which was a stipulation of all of the murals. “The CCB just asked that mu-rals be painted and maintained in a matter consistent with the ap-proved sketches,” Nagata said.

MAUNA A WĀKEA According to the UH Institute for Astronomy website, Mauna Kea hosts the world’s largest astronomical ob-

servatory, with telescopes operated by astronomers from 11 countries. There are currently 13 working telescopes near the summit of Mauna Kea. “Because of the high altitude (14,000 feet) and the clear, stable at-mosphere above the mountain, Mau-na Kea is the best site in thw North-ern Hemisphere, and among the two or three very best sites in the entire world for astronomy,” said Günther Hasinger, astronomer and director of UH’s Institute for Astronomy. “Con-struction of the 30-meter telescope is expected to begin next year.” The university has a lease from the state for all the land within a 2.5 mile radius of the site of the UH 2.2 meter telescope, which is essentially all the land above 3,700 meters elevation except for the portions that lie within the Mauna Kea Ice Natural Area Reserve. The leased land is known as the Mauna Kea Science Reserve.

In June 2000, the Board of Re-gents formulated the Mauna Kea Science Reserve Master Plan, which establishes management guidelines for the next 20 years. Management of the summit area is now the responsibility of the Office of Mauna Kea Man-agement in Hilo.

PROTEST AT TRACTS ALL Law student Kevin Argote at-tended the rally with his consti-tutional law class. “This is a constitutional law issue, and so our professor al-lowed us class time to come out here,” Argote said. “We came as a group to come watch the First Amendment in action.” He believes it ’s good to keep dialogue on issues like this open. “There are a lot of legal issues that a lot of us can see here, but I think overall it’s to see that people are active and passionate about these issues,” Argote said.“It’s very heart-ening to see that everyone wants to get their voice out and heard.” Student Ka‘ili Rattley said she attended the rally to support the claims the artist of the mural made. “I support the claims that the artist is making that it ’s not ok that the school, UH Mānoa, who claims to be a Hawaiian school and a place for Hawaiian learn-ing, that they desecrate and they silence Hawaiian students and people of Hawai‘i’s voice in the issues that they’re participating in,” Rattley said.

Features Editor When we were kids, Halloween was the ultimate game of make-believe. It was a chance to bring our imaginations to life; to be whomever – and what-ever – we wanted, if only for one day. In the spirit of our childhood selves, here are some of the Ka Leo editors in their glory days.

Twenty-eight days after the outbreak of a rage virus, Jim (Cillian Murphy) awakens from a coma to fi nd himself in a de-serted hospital in London. As he ventures through the empty city, he discovers what caused it when he encounters the infected. Director Danny Boyle used dig-ital video cameras, giving the fi lm a gritty documentary look. These DV cameras were essential for keeping the budget low, as well as giving a frenzied effect on high-speed mo-tion such as the running infected. The cinematography throughout the fi lm, most noticeably when Jim is exploring the abandoned city, is beautifully shot. Scenes like this make audiences believe that Jim is the last human on earth. What separates “28 Days Later” from other zombie fi lms are the infected. Unlike past zom-bie fi lms, these creatures can in-fect others by spitting blood, and they can run. The fact that they sprint with such rage and agility is vividly frightening.

All forms of art – such as painting, dance, singing and writ-ing – are potential before they enter the political sphere. In this way, art is social by nature and is a means to engage people by reflecting reality, informing, of-fering a critique and subverting our understanding of current sys-tems. Ultimately, art is created within a certain context. With the heated issue this week regarding the painting over of a mural created by students, Ka Leo has been a target of an-ger and protest. From the start, the process for Ka Leo to allow students to paint murals was bu-reaucratic with guidelines and restricted freedom. Every year, in preparation for the Arts Festi-val, Ka Leo offers space for doz-ens of student groups and artists to paint on to promote the event. Specifically, the canvases on the construction barriers around campus belong to the Campus Center Board and were not in-tended as spaces for free speech, but rather as opportunities to showcase creativity and talent.

THE EFF ICACY OF ART While a portion of HauMĀNA’s mural was paint-ed over, that part spoke with a specif ic political agenda. Art should very well provide a forum for discussion – whether it ’s in a classroom, exhibit or personal spaces – and the covering up of the mural’s text was the uni-versity’s way of saying that this wasn’t the right place for the conversation to take place. The message may have been directed to the university, but the audience – whether that be individual students, administra-tors or the campus community

at large – would come to receive that protest in a glance. What then is the efficacy of a mes-sage when it is only received in passing moments? Can this stop viewers and empower them to be accountable, to “Stop the desecration,” to “Stand with the people” as agents for change? These may be cynical questions, but it should be the art itself that stops viewers and arrests their imaginations. Provoking deeper thought is how art ’s creativity makes strong impressions that cause viewers to question the intent of an artist. Attention has been focused on the erasure of words rather than on the success of the art itself. It ’s ironic to think that, through its absence and the ac-cusations of censorship, the reaction of the public and news coverage has indeed amplified the message and brought more attention to the issue at hand.

WHOSE VOICE I S I T ANYWAY? The protest on Oct. 15 proves that the community cares about voice and the message of the mu-ral, but with it came individuals questioning Ka Leo’s mission as “The Voice.” Ka Leo’s edito-rial integrity lies in verifying information, presenting mul-tiple sides and taking objective stances as well as presenting opportunities for any student to highlight events, cover news and express opinions in things im-portant to them. By condemning Ka Leo in re-action to the mural being covered up, are students claiming that it hasn’t done its duty as a news or-ganization? The reality is that Ka Leo had no choice but to follow the board’s request. The true shame is that the echoing backlash Ka Leo received has been rooted in cyni-

cism and recursive blame toward organizations. It is necessary to recognize that this reactionary blaming of Ka Leo does not seek to understand both sides, let alone do research in the same way Ka Leo’s articles are written. Perhaps these students pro-testing are the same readers who saw Ka Leo’s coverage of an ASUH meeting where sup-porters and opponents testified concerning same-sex marriage. Ka Leo also helped to publicize a Hawai‘i Language Roadmap initiative to promote a multi-lin-gual workforce in our state, pre-viewed the ‘Ā ina Forum hosted by Native Voices that focused on land rights and kuleana and informed students that the Ka Papa Loi Kānewai has received funding for a cultural resource center. Perhaps these students know that some of the most ac-tive scholars, leaders and fellow colleagues in their community utilize Ka Leo as a vehicle to ex-press their voices because these kinds of stories make significant contributions to the community, which speaks volumes more than a comment to “like.” Essentially, what is truly being silenced in this recent controversy is the path to f ind-ing answers to real problems such as how the university can be more accountable, how it can stand with the people and how it can end desecration of lands. Rather than align with one side of students over another and in-stead of lamenting what ’s been done, let us change the conver-sation to one based on solutions, whether it ’s on your own or through Ka Leo. Ka Leo is not simply “The” voice; it is a collec-tive of ideas, passions and agen-das in the students that express them, and those students can always include you.

As the season winds down, the annual Rainbow Wahine alumnae match will be un-derway, and fans can catch a glimpse of Hawai‘i star volleyball players of the past and present. This weekend, the ‘Bows will go up against former All-Americans such as Lau-ren Duggins, Kanoe Kamana’o, Victoria Prince and Robyn Ah Mow-Santos, who helped mold a foundation of success for

years to come. These athletes have shown great power in defense and offense behind the net. A game like this serves as recuper-ation and a time to touch up on things that can make the team better. “It takes the edge off your team, but it ’s a good time to get back in the practice gym and not just worry about the opponent,” head coach Dave Shoji said. After a loss against UC Santa Barbara, this game against former faces of UH may be what the ‘Bows need. Although they

beat Cal Poly in straight sets the next day, the Rainbow Wahine still feel the sting of their loss to the Gauchos. Learning from mistakes is a key part of development among teams, but this alumnae game will also be beneficial as the ‘Bows move forward. Holding a 16 -2 record in the final weeks of the season, the players plan to use their excitement about the match to improve. “There’s always a pressure to win, but it’s more of a fun game,” senior outside hit-

ter Emily Hartong said. “We’re not really too worried about scouting the other team.” The ‘Bows will push to keep the level of intensity, while the alumnae will be looking to avenge a four set loss to the varsity last year.
