Archaeology Lecture
October 21, 7:30pm - 8:45pm
Manoa Campus, Art Auditorium
“DRAGONS OF THE NORTH: THE WORLD OF VIKING LONGSHIPS” an illustrated lecture by
Dr. John Hale , Professor of Archaeology at the University of Louisville.
Viking ships are among the most remarkable artifacts in the entire realm of archaeological discovery, dominating European history for the three centuries between 800 and 1100 AD. As warships they terrorized coasts from Scotland to the Mediterranean; as trading craft they ventured down the rivers of Russia to Byzantium, and as vessels of exploration and colonization they crossed the open Atlantic to Ireland, Iceland, Greenland and ultimately America. Yet all these amazing achievements were accomplished by open, undecked ships with a few oars and a single square sail.
The 19th century witnessed dramatic finds of royal Viking ships in Norwegian burial mounds along Oslo fjord. More recently, underwater archaeologists have recovered virtually intact Viking ships from harbors in Denmark. The most ambitious project in the field of experimental archaeology has involved the reconstruction and sea trials of many Viking ship types. John Hale has traced the ancestry of Viking ships all the way back to sewn-plank canoes of the Scandinavian Bronze Age, and shows the links between these remarkable ships and the watercraft of the Pacific and central Africa.

An Edward Gorey Film Festival--"Dracula"
October 24, 3:30pm - 5:30pm
Manoa Campus, Art Building Auditorium
"An Edward Gorey Film Festival" is part of a series of events held in conjunction with the exhibition "Musings of Mystery and Alphabets of Agony: The Work of Edward Gorey" on view at the University of Hawai'i Art Gallery. Edward Gorey was inspired by the vast range of books and films that he voraciously consumed from silent classics, mystery, thrillers, and pop culture. The films selected include his favorites such as Louis Feuillade’s "Les Vampires" and Alfred Hitchcock’s "The Lady Vanishes." Others were selected for similarities that can be seen in the characters, stories, and dark humor. Each film is preceded by a short educational presentation.
"Dracula," directed by John Badham, (109 min., rated R) Universal City, CA: MCA Home Video, 1986. Cast: Frank Langella, Laurence Olivier, Donald Pleasence, Kate Nelligan.
Notes: From the novel of the same title by Bram Stoker. Based on the stage play by Hamilton Deane and John L. Balderston. Executive producer, Marvin Mirisch; screenplay, W.D. Richter; music, John Williams; special visual effects, Albert Whitlock.
Summary: Throughout history Dracula has filled the hearts of men with terror and the hearts of women with desire. This stylish new production of the classic gothic horror tale stars Frank Langella, repeating his electrifying award-winning stage performance as the blood-thirsty Count, and Laurence Olivier as the devout vampire hunter Von Helsing who is Dracula’s nemesis. A great cast, fine direction, and a superbly atmospheric musical score make this the ultimate Dracula.

The Value of Hawai'i Teach-In Series
October 28, 12:00pm - 1:15pm
Manoa Campus, Kuykendall 410
What do we value about Hawai‘i? What are we willing to do to protect what we value?
Thursday, October 28 Ka ‘Āina: The Land, Preservation, Health, and Politics
Join us for an opportunity to meet and talk with a large number of The Value of Hawai‘i contributors in a special 5-week teach-in series for the UH Mānoa campus, organized by the UH Mānoa Chancellor’s Office, and in celebration of the many contributions UH faculty make to our larger Hawai'i community.
How did we get here?
Three-and-a-half-day school weeks. Prisoners farmed out to the mainland. Tent camps for the migratory homeless. A blinkered dependence on tourism and the military for virtually all economic activity. The steady degradation of already degraded land. Contempt for anyone employed in education, health, and social service. An almost theological belief in the evil of taxes.
At a time when new leaders will be elected, and new solutions need to be found, the contributors to The Value of Hawai`i outline the causes of our current state and offer points of departure for a Hawai`i-wide debate on our future.
Speakers for October 28
1. Sara L. Collins (Historic Preservation) 2. Henry Curtis (Life of the Land) 3. Dana Naone Hall (Historic and Cultural Preservation, and Politics) 4. Deane Neubauer (Political Science) 5. D. Kapua‘ala Sproat (Ka Huli Ao, William S. Richardson School of Law) Co-sponsored by the Center for Biographical Research, the Hawai‘i Council for the Humanities, and the UH-Mānoa Chancellor’s Office.

"Chasing Rainbows: The Film" Panel on Civil Unions
October 29, 6:30pm - 8:30pm
Manoa Campus, School of Architecture Auditorium
"Chasing Rainbows," a new feature documentary film produced in Hawaii, will have its World Premiere at the Hawaii International Film Festival on October 16th at 7:30 p.m. and October 21st at 3:30 p.m. in Honolulu.
The 85-minute film explores the battle over civil unions in Hawaii, same sex marriage in California, and other aspects of the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) lifestyle including family, faith, and societal issues.
"Chasing Rainbows" is not a typical feature documentary. It’s educational, humorous, edgy, even raw at times and incredibly informative, featuring prominent psychologists and clergy, families, students and people on the street from both sides of the issues.
The film includes sound bites from President Barack Obama and other people in Hawaii, California, and Washington, DC. The film is the centerpiece at the public forum moderated by Dan Boylan and hosted by The William S. Richardson School of Law, the Psychology Honor Society and the Hawaii International Film Festival.

Michelle Schumann on Piano

Fantasies and almost-Fantasies
As part of a 15-city tour, pianist Dr. Michelle Schumann will be performing a solo recital in Orvis Auditorium on the UH Manoa campus.
Winner of the 2006 Hodges Contemporary Piano Competition, Schumann will present traditional Fantasies by Bach, Mozart, and Chopin interspersed with Fantasies and ‘almost-fantasies’ by John Corigliano, Philip Glass, John Adams, Fazil Say, and David McIntyre — contemporary works written since 1975.
Schumann’s pianistic ‘stylings’ morph one piece into the next creating a seamless thread from beginning to end. Of a recent recording, Fanfare Magazine described Schumann’s playing as “sensitive, flexible, and tempestuous,” and her performances have been called “irresistible, smart, and captivating” by the Austin American Statesman.
