I was overwhelmed as I saw my roommates from Hong Kong came home with a mas-sive amount of chicken, so I asked them what they were going to do with all the chicken. Their answer: White Cut Chicken. Its the main food dish of the Cantonese for the Chinese New Year. Discovering that they eat this dish for celebration, I wanted to learn how to make it right away. After I succeed in mak-ing this dish, I learned that good food does not need to be hard and complicated to make. The chicken tastes very good and the recipe is cer-tainly simplest I have ever made. There is no need to put all kind of spices in the food. Simply using salt, ginger, garlic, and onion makes this dish tasty and enjoyable.Ingredients
One 4-pound broiler or fryer chicken 4 teaspoons salt 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger4 cloves garlic, peeled 4 quarts water 3 tablespoons chopped green onions WDEOHVSRRQVQHO\VKUHGGHGJLQJHU
3 tablespoons vegetable oil Methods
1. ,QDSRW ODUJHHQRXJKWRW WKHFKLFNHQbring about 3 qts. cold water, ginger, garlic, and 2 tsps. salt to a boil over high heat, cov-ered. Carefully add the chicken, breast-side up, adding more boiling water if necessary to com-pletely cover the chicken. Return to a rolling boil and boil vigorously over high heat, uncov-ered, for 5 min., removing any scum that rises to the surface. Cover pot and let sit off heat for 20 min.
2. Uncover the pot and bring to a boil over high heat. When the broth returns to a rolling boil, boil vigorously, uncovered, 3 to 4 min. Re-move from heat (Reserve the chicken broth for making soups.)
3. Place the green onions, ginger, and re-maining 1/2 tsp. salt in a small heatproof dish. In a small skillet, heat vegetable oil over high heat until hot but not smoking. Carefully pour hot oil over green onions and ginger. The oil will make a crackling sound as it hits the green onions and ginger. Serve chicken warm or at room temper-ature with green onion-ginger sauce.

Marching for change and quality on inauguration eve
As far away from the mainland as Waikiki seems to be, the atmosphere of promoting hu-man rights that surrounds the American holiday Martin Luther King, Jr. Day could still be felt. Jan. 19, 2009 marked a time of action along Waikikis well-known beaches and several thou-VDQGSHRSOHOOHGWKHVWUHHWVLQFHOHEUD-tion of unalienable rights.
If we do not act, we shall surely be dragged down the long, dark and shame-ful corridors of time reserved for those who possess power without compassion, might without morality, and strength without sight. Martin Luther Kings words were the theme for the 2009 MLK Day Parade in Waikiki.
Although we celebrate MLK Day every year, I think today is especially LPSRUWDQW EHFDXVH IRU WKH UVW WLPH LQour nations history, a black man will be sworn in as the president of the United States of America, commented Lauren Woodbury, senior in international cul-tural studies from Colorado. Woodbury marched in the parade and was happy that she could share her opinions through her participation in the days events, she added.
It was really cool. There were a lot of people there, said Emily Mearns, sophomore majoring in ICS. Everyone was looking to promote some form of equality and peace.
I [marched in the parade] to support the protection of communities along the North Shore from the dangerous affects of large scale development, said Whit-ney LeBlanc, freshman in exercise and sports sciences from San Diego, Calif., echoing the theme of the North Shore special interest group Defend Oahu Coalition. It was inspiring because it showed how it only takes a few to make a difference.
The parade, beginning at Magic Is-land and ending at Kapiolani Park, was OOHG ZLWK PXVLF IRRG FRPPXQLW\booths and people marching to support the cause of freedom and service.
That theme has become a very com-mon sight around Hawaii. Various groups were there in support of have rights and protection of Hawaiis land and culture.
We walked for the experience, Mearns said. And of course, to keep the country, country, she added, which is a slogan of the Defend Oahu Coalition.

Dancing BYU-Hawaii students stormed the stage of the McKay Auditorium at the conclusion of the Buckets and Tap Shoes performance
last Friday night, Jan. 23. During the groups encore, students who were already danc-ing in the aisle to the rhythmic sounds of drums, guitars and tap shoes rushed up to the stage. Some of the students were given instruments so they could express their own musical interests.
It was awesome seeing everyone rush up there and dance, Eliza Hokanson, freshman in international cultural studies from Wash-ington, said. She added, I wish I hadnt been sitting so far back and so far into my aisle so that I couldve joined them!
Buckets and Tap Shoes is described as a unique troupe of musicians, percussionists and rhythm tap dancers, in their biography on the Siegel Artist Management Web site. The Minneapolis-based group is comprised of brothers Rick and Andy Ausland, the prin-cipal dancers as well as the co-founders of the group, trumpeter Aaron Wiener, bassist Dan Ristrom, and drummer/dancer CJ Van-derpoll.
We work with some really good guys and talented musicians. Who else has guitar-ists that can move, trumpet players that can turn around when they play, and drummers who can tap? commented Rick Ausland.
The group has had many opportunities to perform internationally, touring countries
such as Russia, Finland and Ecuador. All of the group m e m b e r s agree that, so far, their week-long Hawaiian tour has been the most en-joyable.
R u s s i a was really cool. It was awesome see-ing the differ-ent culture ?FYXA]SYGERRHEPSXSJ6YW-sian people in Minneapolis, and it seems like Hawaiian people tend to stay closer to the islands WS]SYHSRXRHXLIGYPXYVIMRmany other places I love it here, the people are so nice. Russia was sweet, but Hawaii is probably my favorite, bassist Dan Ristrom said.
The show presented by Buckets and Tap Shoes is said to be electric and creates an atmosphere full of surprises that invites ev-eryone to join in, according to their biogra-phy. This atmosphere was felt by many of the students who attended their BYUH show. Amber Egbert, junior and visiting nursing student from BYU-Idaho, was one of the stu-dents who joined the on-stage dance party.
I had never seen that before. Artists

Thats why you should submit your work to the Kula Manu, joked Jonathan Marler, se-nior in English from Laie, and editor-in-chief of this years publication of BYUHs literary journal, the Kula Manu. The liter-ary journal is a choice out-let for those who possess talents in writing or art, he explained.
An English creative writ-ing course is offered every Winter Semester with the objective of producing this publication. Fiction, po-etry, essays, art and pho-tography are chosen from student, faculty, and com-munity submissions to cre-

time Jonathan has taken the course but he is well acquainted with the jour-nal. His mother, Professor Myrna Marler has been a part of the journals his-tory since she submitted her work in 1980.
It represents the lit-erary and artistic efforts of a variety of students and, at times, faculty.
Like sports, it is another venue to showcase the talents of the students on campus, said Marler, the journals advisor of 14 years.
The name, Kula Manu, is Hawaiian for Take Flight. And the pub-lication, which started out as a Xeroxed packet of papers in the 1950s, certainly has. Now pro-fessionally bound and packed with work of a high literary and artistic quality, the Kula Manu can be purchased on campus every winter for around $10.
Submissions are ac-cepted before Feb. 19 to the e-mail address: [email protected].
