We asked our friends and families to help us name what makes life on Maui so superlative; the resulting compilation—from startling natural wonders to secret spots, treasured recipes and local traditions—revealed just how lucky we are. Use the following pages like a treasure map to the essence of this irre - sistible refuge. We whittled our lover’s litany down to thirtyish—some obvious, some whimsical choices—not listed in order of importance. After all, is it really possible to determine whether a Hawaiian honey - creeper ranks higher than a moonbow? We aimed for a balance of the ancient and up-and-coming, the budget-minded and high falutin’. We hope some will be new to you—a chance to fall in love with Maui all over again. Golden sand.

    Moonbows overYosem te By Donald W. Olson, Russell L. Doescher, and the Mitte Honors Students The rainbow occurs by day, and it was formerly thought that it never appeared by night as a moon rainbow. This opinion was due to the rarity of the phenomenon: it was not observed, for though it does happen, it does so rarely. The colors are not easy to see in the dark. The moon rainbow appears white. — Aristotle, Meteorologica, about 340 BC More than mountain Few sights evoke such spontaneous delight and wonder as a late- afternoon rainbow bursting into view in the eastern sky after a air and daytime spring downpour. Even before it appears, you sense that it might, and you keep a lookout. Maybe you once fancied fi nding a pot of scenery beckon gold where the colorful arc ends. Yet how many of us have seen a rainbow at night? While this is a visitors to Yosemite fairly rare event, nature lovers as far back as Aristotle knew it was National Park each possible for a bright Moon, like the Sun, to produce a rainbow.

Shepherd Dean, Scripps College of Communication 3 Abstract POTRATZ, RACHEL M., M.A., November 2007, School of Telecommunications WHEN IS REALITY REAL?: YOUTH PERCEPTIONS OF MTV REALITY PROGRAMS (125 p). Director of Thesis: Norma Pecora This thesis examines how college freshmen relate to the personalities and content on MTV reality programs. Drawing from current theories about how viewers relate to television such as realism perceptions, identification, wishful identification, and parasocial interaction, this project looks takes a qualitative approach to understanding the particular relationships that exist between young viewers and the content and young casts of MTV reality programs. Eight college freshmen at a Midwestern university were interviewed about their perceptions of MTV reality programs, particularly Real World, Laguna Beach and The Hills. Additionally, a survey of 78 students was conducted in an introductory telecommunications course. It was found that judgments about the realism were based primarily on the students’ use of comparisons with their own lives and experiences. Additionally, knowledge of production processes played a role in realism perceptions. It was also found that students engaged in parasocial interaction and used reality television to learn about the world.
