DuringthedaysoftheWatergatescandal, the Vietnam War and petrocks, students at the University ofHawai‘iatManoaburiedatimecap-sule in the yard of a Manoa Valleyhome, with the hope that the futureof its discoverers would not be sobleak. JohnZauner,whowitnessedtheuncoveringofthetimecapsule,said,“This(has)adifferentkindofvalue.Ratherthangoldandsilveranddia-monds, we have something of whattheywerethinkingbackintheearly‘70s.” In May 1973, the students ofNew College, UH’s attempt at analternative learning environment,buried their thoughts in an olivegreencanbehindamansionstudentscalledtheSpitzhouse.

that the people are left … with-out a mind of their own, and not

Time Capsule: Student poetry reflects the era

The Sun room in the manoa Valley inn once housed some of the students of new College.

ugly around here. A lot of concrete and a few trees. The only way is to ESCAPE! ESCAPE, ESCAPE, ESCAPE. But try to stay alive. A lot of hippies around and even they are sad!” Another student who introduced himself as Sid wrote, “Just letting you people know, that things today are getting bad and in your time will probably be worse. But we are power-less to prevent it because we are only human.” The students wrote these letters for a course called “World’s Future”.

They were told that the time capsule would be opened in 1985. A book entitled “New College: The Life, Death and Legacy of Yet Another Experiment in Innovative Education” speaks about the rise and fall of New College and explores the goals of the students who created the time capsule. The author, Arthur Goodfriend, wrote in the book that in 1965 some faculty of UH formed a Council of the Humanities to promote sociological studies and the arts.

Ghost ship proves less than terrifyingBy Ginny Gillette

Ka Leo Movie Critic

Rating: **Scale:Excellent = ****Worth the $ = ***A Renter = **Wait for it on TV = *

It’s the Halloween season, it is socially required that you eat a lot of candy and go see a scary movie. Ghost Ship may not be the scariest of the 2002 Halloween season, but its content is enjoyable. The movie begins with a gory tryst on board a luxurious Italian cruise ship called the Antonia Graza. This bisecting story thread plays out throughout the movie. Jump 40 years into the future. A topnotch salvage crew is clued in by a pilot (Desmond Harrington) to the discovery of a mystery ship adrift in the Bering Sea. Once there, the crew soon realizes this rusty old hulk is the legendary Garza. Capt. Murphy (Gabriel Byrne) recounts the story of its disappear-ance: “These Italian liners, they couldn’t com-pete for speed, so they built these floating art palaces instead. She was reported miss-ing on the 21st of May, 1962 off the coast of Labrador. Funny thing is, there was no dis-tress signal, no contact...she just disappeared, she was gone. Ever since that day, every cap-tain and his mother’s been looking for her, hoping that she hasn’t gone down.” They find the ship loaded; in more ways than one. It’s the mystery behind the ship’s reappearance that holds your attention to the end of the movie. The ship’s crew is tight. Besides the Captain, there’s First Mate Greer (Isaiah Washington), who’s to be married in a month, and technicians Dodge (Ron Eldard), Munder

(Karl Urban) and Santos (Alex Dimitriades), who act like clowns besides being good at what they do. Juliana Margulies plays Epps (formerly of ER fame) whose position on the crew is neb-ulous, but she does a decent job of making you forget the nurse and believe the rough, salvage crew persona. This was actually the kind of horror movie I like. There’s enough comic relief and ste-reotype scary stuff that it doesn’t make you throw your popcorn or totally creep you out. But is has a couple of nifty effects that make you think a little - and it doesn’t confirm your suspicions until later. There’s enough of the horror-genre cliche of blood and guts, but predictable enough to close your eyes. That is unless, of course, you WANT to see that crane hook hit the side of the head. There are good ghosts and bad ghosts. Which is which is not always transparent. Who they’re fighting against and why is not as obvious as the title would imply. Past and present blur sometimes. Isaiah Washington delivers a great line about cheat-ing being okay if the other person is not real. For the most part, the characters are real. They react naturally to the discoveries on board and don’t make any stupid moves that make you groan. They actually turn lights on before entering dark rooms. There are plenty of technical incongruities and they may be more apparent to people in a Hawaii audience than most places in the U.S. Being surrounded by ocean makes the most of local “akamai” about water and boat scenes. You could overlook the mistakes but that’s not nearly as entertaining as making fun of them. If you haven’t seen a scary movie yet this year, Ghost Ship is light. And I’d definitely recommend it for next Halloween’s rental list.

Time Capsule: New College revisited

The Council assigned Richard Rapson to be in charge of activities. He decid-ed UH should create a small college community on Manoa campus with a less structured approach to education. With the support of then UH president Harlan Cleveland and Dean for Academic Development Robert Kamins, Rapson’s idea came into fruition. Goodfriend wrote, from early on there were potential threats to the suc-cess of New College. The college was formed behind the back of the UH Faculty Senate, who only approved it after plans were underway.

manoa Valley inn guests look out onto the back lawn where the time capsule was buried in 1973.

Goodfriend also outlines other reasons for the colleges eventual fail-ure, including competition for funds, alleged presidential favoritism toward New College and envy. New College opened on Sept. 8, 1970. In a letter found in the time capsule, student Ken Ferber described the college as a liberated-awareness-child of the University that was a non-grade oriented, open-minded environment free from university restrictiveness. The experiment lasted for three years. It ended after a Faculty Committee Report which President Cleveland said was devastating. It’s official death was Aug. 9, 1973, three months after the time capsule was

buried. The imminent failure of the school along with national events were on the minds of the writers as they composed the letters and poems to the students of 1985. Wery said, “Hopefully, ... we’ll find some of these people. That would be exciting. I think they’d want to know whether we found the capsule or not.”

The quotes found throughout pages 1,2, and 8 are excerpts from letters found in the time capsule mentioned in this article. They appear as found, unedited for grammar or spelling.

“Today we see the dichotomy of Am. society. The majority is into capitalism

(self-interest) and the continuation of the status quo. The small (usually younger)

minority holds socio-political freedom and ecological concerns to heart. Who is “right” will be seen in your time ...

Are internal combustion engines still the bane of your time? Are flush toilets still wasting all that rich fecal matter? Have

Vietnams, Middle Easts, Ireland conflicts ended yet? Today France insists on nucle-ar testing yet; is it still happening? Has marijuana been legalized or are people still going to jail? Good luck folks.”

was named on defensive player of the week on Sept. 23.

University of Hawai‘i freshman striker Natasha Kai was named Western Athletic Conference offen-sive soccer player of the week on Monday. Kai netted five goals during the Rainbow Wahine’s final homestand last weekend, including her second hat trick of the season in a 5-1 vic-tory over the Boise State Broncos. In that match, she also finished one short of her own WAC record for

most shots in a game with 13. Kai also added two goals in the ‘Bows’ 5-0 shutout of the Nevada Wolf Pack. Kai now holds the Hawai‘i records for points (31) and goals (14) in a season. This was Kai’s third player of the week award of the season. She also earned the honor Sept. 3 and Oct. 14. Kai’s most recent honor is the fifth for UH this season. Sophomore central defender Jessica Uecker and freshman keeper Mahie Atay were named WAC defensive players of the week on Sept. 23 and Oct. 14, respectively. The Rainbow Wahine wrap up their season with matches at San Jose State Friday and at Fresno State Sunday. The ‘Bows then head to Houston for the WAC Championships Nov. 7-9.

(U-WIRE) TAMPA, Fla. — The University of South Florida reached a settlement with 12 former wom-en’s basketball players and coaches who sued the university. The plaintiffs alleged that head coach Jerry Ann Winters displayed racism towards her players, going so far as to segregate them in hotels and during team meals. Winters was later fired and USF athletic director Paul Griffin forced to resign after an alleged cover-up. The final settlement totaled nearly $300,000.
