XCVII ISSUE 74 THE UNIVERSITY Of HAWAI‘I AT MA¯ NOA www.kaleo.org Petition presentation lacks prez By Lisa Huynh Ka Leo Associate News Editor Despite reportedly being notified days in advance, University of Hawai‘i President Evan Dobelle was not in his Bachman Hall offices yesterday when the UH-Manoa chapter of Not in Our Name, a national anti-war organization, presented more than 400 signatures on a petition that asked the university to withdraw from any military involve- ment. UH Manoa Chancellor Peter Englert did show up to receive the petition, leaving a meeting to do so. “Where’s Dobelle?” the group of about 20 gathered in Dobelle’s anteroom asked at one point. Officials shrugged their shoulders, and UH spokesman Jim Manke said, “I have no idea.” Englert said: “I can say that I have listened to you right now and that I have received your petition and your signatures, and I will take them forward to the university.” NION member Liz Reese asked Englert what he thought about the stu- dent tracking program SEVIS (Student and Exchange Visitor Information System), to which Englert replied that he didn’t “know about it.” He later added he would look over papers in his office and follow up on the question. After numerous questions were asked of the administration about Dobelle’s absence and SEVIS, Manke said: “If you’re asking for a response, we will give you a response, but we cannot do that right now.” NION member Catherine Hatfield said that Dobelle was notified a few days before the presentation of the petition but did not respond. The petition made its way to Bachman Hall after a few days of solicitation by organization members to passerbys and spectators at yesterday’s International Human Rights Day Fair, which was held in recognition of the Dec. 10 United Nations International Human Rights Day. At the fair, musi- cians, speakers, poets and various orga- nizations took their turns at the micro- phone to speak against war in Iraq and human rights. “I call on the UH administration to do what is right,” said English associate professor Ruth Hsu. “They have already handed over the name of internation- al students — they should not have done that. They should be encouraging LisA HUYNH • Ka Leo O Hawai‘i debate about the situation, encouraging their students to speak up.” The International Human Rights Fair backed up an anti-war petition presented to the University administration yesterday.
