Accreditation is a students’insurance that U.S. colleges areoffering academic programs thatmeetnationalcollegestandards. “It is a necessary condition toattract local and international stu-dents, facultyandextramural fund-ing,” said Dr. F. Dewolfe Miller, aprofessorofepidemiology. The UH School of PublicHealth Sciences and Epidemiologyrecently celebrated the accredita-tionof theirMasterofScienceandMaster of Public Health graduatedegreeprograms. “Iwasjustjumpingandflying,IwassohappywhenIwitnessedthe

After the School of PublicHealth Sciences closed in fall of2000, the faculty went through thestrenuous process of campaigningfor the school to re-open as anaccreditedprogram.

program within 2,400 miles that is accredited,” said Dr. Beverly Keever, a journalism professor. “This decision will have pro-found effects on our school, but we must do the best with what we have,” Dr. Jeffrey Ady, Associate Professor and Chair of Communications, wrote in a letter to the faculty on Oct. 2. The accreditation of the journal-ism undergraduate program allows the department a national standard of 40 credits, which gives the curricu-

lum more writing intensive courses that “will train students to be the best journalists in the world, espe-cially with the diverse population in Hawai‘i,” according to Keever. A non-accredited program will decrease the prestige and funding of the journalism department, but could open doors to the multicultural aspects of the media and the anticipa-tion of trends because Hawai‘i is “the center of the Pacific Rim’s media and journalism,” according to Ady.

For certain departments, accred-itation is “a regressive nature of stan-dards” that limits the modernization of the curriculum. “Accreditation represents shackles,” said Ady. The communication and jour-nalism departments are questioning the effects of crossing over from the 20-year-old traditional ACEJMC’s standards to a non-accredited pro-gram where the curriculum repre-sents cutting-edge material evident in today’s media.

“Newspapers already train peo-ple in technical skills, we want stu-dents to be critical thinkers,” said Ady. The journalism faculty’s divi-sion over the debate of re-accredita-tion after 2004 has led them to one agreement: they must find out what is best for the students. “This is too important of a deci-sion, it does not represent the stu-dents, they are voiceless,” Keever said.

trying to get across is that these “tal-ented and beautiful girls are going to be engineers.” The documentary will follow the team through grad-uation and will culminate in the World Solar Challenge in Australia in November of 2003. Until then, the girls are taking it one day at a time. They have entered the design phase of the second car and are busy plan-ning outreach programs designed to reach young girls, particularly those in elementary school. Jenny Witkin, a senior computer engineering major, describes how excited she was to be approached to join the project. “Building (the car) is such a huge task, especially

considering none of us knew how to do it beforehand,” she said. “But it’s the outreach aspect of it that’s the true challenge — getting through to young girls ... letting them know they can achieve goals.” Whereas the Nerd Girls did not necessarily have female engineer role models, the future generation of women engineers will. “Just the fact that (the Nerd Girls) are there will pull (the younger girls) in,” Witkin said. The outreach meetings, which will be geared towards young girls, will mainly consist of presentations of the solar car. Senior Megan Schwartz, who works with children every week for the Tufts Literacy Corps, says that the outreach dimension of the pro-gram will give the Nerd Girls the extra “oomph” they need during the week, and that the excitement they glean from the kids will help carry them through the project.

funds,” said Keever. After petitioning for the posi-tion to be replaced by another journalism professor, the Dean of Social Sciences, Richard Dubanoski, rejected the campaign and placed the journalism program in jeopardy for re-accreditation by giving the posi-tion to another department. “We are the only journalism

Since this was the girls’ first experience with building a solar car, they decided that it would be wise to create a preliminary “learning vehicle.” Panetta said that the recent wave of reality TV shows triggered her idea for the formation of the Nerd Girls. She says that these shows imply that a woman must be beautiful to compete successfully. “I want every-one to know that if you pursue an education in engineering, you will be successful,” Panetta said.

was fun. The ladies were very knowl-edgeable and they got me in and out really quick.” The second fitting was in the actual costume itself. Many actors had differing opinions about how much they liked their costumes. Williams complained that his costume “looks like a loud clown suit, with the col-ors yellow, orange, green, red and white included in his costume.” On the other hand, actor Sarah Messina liked her costume and described it as “black fishnet stockings with holes in them and over that I have very short shorts, like denim shorts. I have san-dals. On top, I have a super-padded bra, with a green tank top over it ... shredded.” After weeks of rehearsals, and less than a week before opening night, it was time for “tech rehears-als.” Normally, people do not look forward to this type of rehearsal because it involves a lot of standing around and waiting to make sure the lighting music cues are correct. However, this rehearsal was perhaps the most enjoyable for the partici-pants. The actors and dancers had to run through the entire play, but because the acting was unimportant for tech rehearsal, many actors were improvising with their lines and hav-ing fun with it. Since the play already revolves around the theme of sex the actors were sticking to the theme and adding more dirty jokes and sexual innuendos to their dialogue and movements.

Abstinence a statement in play

ANDREW SHIMABUKU • KENNEDY THEATER

Actors in “Lysistrata” (clockwise from top): Amy Joy Matsen as Lysistrata, Kristy Miller as Myrrhine, Stephanie Kong as Lampito, and Cindy Beth Davis as Kalonike.

By Christine HittKa Leo Staff Writer

With skimpy costumes, techno music and a fraternity house as a set, “Lysistrata,” directed by Glenn Cannon, is sure to make you laugh out loud and drool for more. Amy Joy Matsen, who stars as Lysistrata, successfully leads a cast of memorable characters including Lampito, Kalonike, Myrrhine and Kinesias. “Lysistrata” is about a world where men are the authority, so women take charge by denying the men what they desire most — sex. Cannon describes the play as “a sex-comedy,” raunchy, but contemporary. “Lysistrata” is funny, but it tack-les modern problems that exist in this country and, for that matter, around the world, including impending war. Cannon said “Lysistrata” is “a prime example of women’s lib in 411 BC. At that time period, women were third-rate citizens, not even second-rate, and so here is an opportunity in terms of women’s lib at its high-est form thousands and thousands of years ago.” Cannon has been acting and directing for 44 years now, 33 years in Hawai`i and 10 years on the main-land. He had just finished directing “Oklahoma!” at the Army Community Theatre when auditions began for “Lysistrata.” Cannon’s interest for directing “Lysistrata” was sparked by reading a translation of the play done by Kenneth McLeish. “I read this particular translation that we’re using and that excited me to do the play,” Cannon said. “I was looking for something, first of all, that had a strong female cast because there are not a lot of males available, unfortunately.” There were two types of audi-tions, a regular audition and a dance audition. The regular audition con-sisted of readings from the play. During these auditions, Cannon asks himself, while looking for actors, “Does the person seem to come close to the character as I have pictured

the character?” and, “How skilled is the actor?” Everyone who came to the regular audition was required to also come to a dance audition. With seduction being a prime weapon in this play, erotic dancing was encour-aged. Cannon says Amy Joy Matsen, who he has cast as Lysistrata, “is quite skilled. I’ve worked with her before. She’s been in several of my classes over the years and she’s an actress with wonderful energy, intel-ligence and emotional life.” Matsen’s previous production was last spring’s “Crimes of the Heart” in which she played the role of Meg. She says, “I love working with Glenn. I’ve learned so much about myself, and about theater, over the past couple years of working with him. What I like most about Lysistrata is her courageous backbone and strong will. She is an extremely pas-sionate person, like myself. She has helped me realize my own strength as a woman.” Rehearsals began soon after the roles were cast. Every night at 6:30 p.m., the cast gathered at Kennedy Theatre’s main stage for rehears-als. Rehearsals stretched until 9:00 p.m., but occasionally ended at 10:30 p.m. The rehearsals consisted of run-throughs where the director stopped the actors to clean things up. Actor Andrew Valentine describes rehearsals and acting for a Main Stage performance as “a lot of work. You really have to let go of yourself and allow the character to come alive in the process.” Rehearsals were a great chance to make friends and create new memories. Matsen describes the most memorable moment during rehears-als: “For all of us it was watching the erotic love scene develop upon the rickety bed between Myrrhine and Cinesias!” She said “A must see!” Each cast member had to par-ticipate in costume fitting at least twice during the weeks of rehearsal. Measurements were taken religiously in order to ensure the players fit into their costumes. Actor D. Omar Williams describes his experience: “It
