Now they're not so sure. A century-old bronze sculp­ ture of a famous Japanese peas­ ant philosopher, donated to the Winter Park college nearly half a century ago, is being sought by Okinawans who want it re­ turned to their island. The 200-pound statue of Kinjiro Ninomiya was taken from Okinawa when U.S. ma­ rines invaded the island - 350 miles away from the Japanese main islands - near the end of World War II. In march, Shizuo Kishaba, president ofthe Ryuk>jii-Ameri- can Historical Research Soci­ ety in Okinawa asked college executives for the statue. In exchange, he promised to give Rollins a replica. "Our culture was in danger of being erased," said Kishaba in a telephone interview from Okinawa. Kishaba has been leading efforts to preserve Okinawan history by recover­ ing artifacts taken as the spoils of war. But Rollins says they aren't ready to part with the statue - yet.

She suggested that it is possible the UNIVERSAL S Okinawans may not want the statue be­ cause it was most likely created on the main islands of Japan and delivered to Okinawa when it was annexed in 1879. Whether Okinawans view the statue as their own or as a foreign work is irrel­ evant, some Japanese historians said. "It may have been imposed upon the Okinawans, but nevertheless, it is a part of their history," said Tetsuo Najita, chair­ Hi _A-1 man of the history department and a Japanese history professor atthe Univer­ ¥MU sity of Chicago. "[The statue] is a good way for them to remember their past. Even unpleasant memories must be re­ membered." Furthermore, Najita said, the teach­ ings ofthe philosopher Kinjiro Ninomiya are well-known and respected through­ out Japan, including Okinawa. A peasant sage, Ninomiya preached self-sufficiency to farmers in the 1830s, urging them to become literate and fend j for themselves rather than depend on "big government," Najita said. Living the words that he preached, Ninomiya is often depicted as a youth reading a book, while carrying firewood on his back; the Rollins statue also cap­ tures him in this pose.

Songs like "Ritual," which deals directly with rape, and "Breed the Killer" show what kind of passion these guys have, and their feelings about problems of. today's society. They thrive on the social commentary blasting through their music. The slow hardcore sound of bands like 108 and Shelter mixed with Hip-Hop flavor and Rey Oropeza's anger makes up downset.
