BYU-Hawaii's prophetic blessings rest on worthiness, honor

In the first devotional address of 2004, President Eric B. Shumway urged students, faculty and staff who are among the "blessed few who partake of this wonderful enterprise" to live so they are worthy of the trust church members place in BYU-Hawaii and its prophetic promises.

Reminding the university family of President David O. McKay's "amazing prophecies" about BYU-Hawaii, President Shumway also focused on the admonitions and warnings that accompanied them:

"All of us here today are part of the sweep of those prophecies," he said. "As in the case of most prophetic promises, the fulfillment thereof is based upon the worthiness and the righteousness of those who attend this school, those who teach and work here, and those who graduate from here."

"For example, a burning testimony of the gospel is an expectation, even a condition of employment at this campus," President Shumway continued. "Elsewhere, President McKay and other prophets have confirmed that every subject taught on this campus should be studied under the lamp of the Gospel of Jesus Christ."

"They all confirm that students on this campus should have an unmistakable guarantee that their teachers are loyal to the Church and have an abiding, life-directing testimony that Jesus Christ is at the head of the Church, that his prophets and apostles direct the affairs of the kingdom of God under his guidance and inspiration."

President Shumway reminded the audience that when President McKay dedicated the university's new physical plant in 1958, he also left an important message for the single students: "To me the most impressive, satisfying thing in all the world is a group of [young men and women] inspired with the determination so to live as to be worthy and true to their future spouses," the prophet said.

"Brothers and sisters, the law of chastity that President McKay speaks about is a fundamental principle of happiness. It is a principle of order and stability and sacred honor for both men and women," President Shumway said, adding that "chastity also includes the protection of the mind from the images and the language of pornography."

He stressed that "one of the most important allies of chastity is modesty, particularly modesty in our daily dress," as prescribed by the BYU-Hawaii Honor Code. "Of course, the honor code covers an important spectrum of gospel standards, total honesty and fairness. There is a strong prohibition against smoking, drinking, gambling, kava parties, violence, drugs, sexual relations outside of marriage, the viewing of pornography. If these are your unrepented vices, then BYU-Hawaii is not for you."

President Shumway chose to be even more explicit, using photos to show that "boys who let their hair hang over their ears and collar, sport little tufts of beard under their lip or chin, hang out with four days growth of beard, or let their baggy pants hang low almost to the 'fall off' position," are not in standards. "Many try to hide their long hair under caps," he said.

He told the young women who are "enamored with the fashion which features hip-hugging pants and skirts with the blouse coming just barely down to the belt, this is out of standards and is not to be allowed on campus." Again using photos, he pointed out such blouses ride up, baring skin, when the women bend, sit and raise their arms. "In many cases, they don't even have to raise their arms," he continued. "Or girls who wear blouses and pants so tight they are all exposed and can hardly breathe, or their cleavage shows every time they move or shrug their shoulders."

"Also let me remind everyone that when you sign the code of honor to attend BYU-Hawaii, that means you are on your honor to keep these standards on campus and off campus," President Shumway said. "Occasionally we see a few students — men and women — in short-shorts with tank tops and backpacks on their way to Honolulu. Apparently they think that the dress standard is only for campus. That is not true."

"Unfortunately also, there are a number of campus coeds who have made a reputation as the BYU-Hawaii bikini girls. Bikinis are a violation of Church standards and the BYU-Hawaii honor code, or any kind of swim wear that accentuates and reveals the body in inappropriate ways, whether you are male or female."

Consequently, President Shumway asked all departments, counselors, academic advisors and University offices to politely not serve students, if it is clear those students are out of standards. "Even first-time violators should be reported to the Honor Code office, again when it is clear that they fully understand the standards but simply violated them. A second confirmed violation will generally mean suspension from school."

President Shumway emphasized that the standards apply to everyone on campus. "Otherwise, I believe, we make a mockery of our standards and violate the trust that prophets, seers, and revelators, and the Savior himself have placed upon us as we partake of this wonderful environment which has been blessed so much from the tithing dollars of the Church and has been given so much of the confidence of our Brethren."

He added he is convinced "the vast majority of our young people, men and women, want to live the standards of the Gospel. You want to be worthy Latter-day Saints. You want to be set apart from the world in the sense that your standards, your morality, your commitment, and your love of the Lord will reflect in what you say, in what you do, in how you treat others, how you support the standards of the Church and our living prophets. Surely we must all be the best we can be."

"Could I invite all of us to take the honor code seriously, including the dress code. Would you young women be willing to go through your wardrobe and sort out those clothes that are not appropriate or blouses that are too tight or that come barely down to the belt, and set them aside or discard them. As suggested by our campus Relief Society presidents, a blouse or sweater ought to come a good four inches below the belt in order to give you freedom of movement with exposing yourselves inappropriately. Make sure your swim wear, both male and female, is modest. Anything that approximates bikini wear is not appropriate and in violation of the honor code."

Returning again to President McKay's 1958 devotional address, President Shumway said that controlling the "language of criticism, condemning, fault finding, bickering...anger and insult" were important areas of self-mastery and self-control:

May the beauty of [this place] merely be a symbol of the beauty of your characters. This must be a moral town with no hatred, no backbiting, no fault-finding, that you may love and live in peace so the people who enter [here] will feel that there is something different here from any other [place] they have ever visited, and that isn't imagination.

"This admonition should go down into our hearts like fire," President Shumway said, noting that too many times we allow "little things to make us angry or irritate us. We get upset, we say things that hurt, we retaliate, we attack any little annoyance."

"Anger and irritation and contention are of the devil. That's why Christ has taught us to forgive quickly, be kind and be patient. Do not allow feelings of hurt or humiliation to be expressed in anger," he continued. "You see, words hurt. Angry looks hurt. They are like death sometimes. Therefore, make up quickly, reconcile, make things right. Apologize — even on your knees, if necessary — especially married couples. That's the Lord's way."

"Of all places, in these sacred institutions of higher learning — the temple, BYU-Hawaii and the PCC — we must be cleansed of the passions and the cruelty that undermine the prophecies and promises that will carry us forward."

"I testify, brothers and sisters, that as the Church is the only true and living church on the face of the earth and an instrument of profound good in the world, so is this campus at the heart of the Church's mission to train and prepare generations of men and women who will help advance the cause of Zion across the earth," President Shumway concluded.

 

President Shumway reports BYU-Hawaii's 'midterm' progress

In his mid-year report on Jan. 21, President Shumway asked the University 'ohana (family) of faculty and staff members to "double, even quadruple" their efforts "to do the very best we can" in preparing for the golden jubilee in 2005.

"The Jubilee is not simply a standard or routine celebration dictated by a calendar," he said. "It is a time to reflect deeply and ponder seriously what the Lord hath wrought in this place in which you and I are a living part."

President Shumway noted the recent visits of a princess from Thailand, the Cambodian ambassador to the U.S., and a large entourage of government leaders and media specialists from Taiwan — all who were "deeply moved by what they saw on campus and at the Polynesian Cultural Center.

"I have spent 30 years learning English, and if I spent another 30 years learning more English I could not find words sufficient to express our feelings of appreciation for BYU-Hawaii and the Polynesian Cultural Center, and the way you have treated us," said Director General Lin, representing the Taiwan foreign affairs minister.

The president explained he mentioned these visits as "small examples of what is almost routine and ongoing for us, because it is important for us to reflect how this place affects those who come here. They do feel a special presence. Call it the spirit of aloha or the spirit of Christ or the spirit of mankind. We must never forget that this spirit must always be the fruit of our own goodness and righteousness. It is the spirit of the Lord that will not not always strive with us or be with us unless we are worthy."

As he did in his recent report to the CES Commissioner and the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees, President Shumway also noted the following points of BYU-Hawaii's recent progress:

• For the fifth year in a row, BYU-Hawaii has been highly ranked in U.S. News and World Report's comprehensive national survey of undergraduate institutions, and sixth-best overall in the survey's western region. "This past ranking was reported on the front page of the Star-Bulletin, an important statement in a gentile environment about the value of this church institution of higher learning," President Shumway said.

• "This fall semester we had the highest number of international students in the history of the school. We are up in Hawaii, and our efforts to gradually reduce U.S. mainland students are being rewarded," he continued, pointing out only 88 mainland students were admitted in the fall as opposed to 588 new freshmen from the mainland five years ago.

• "We graduated our largest number of students last year, achieving this goal nearly five years earlier than we projected.

• The WASC accreditation committee accepted BYU-Hawaii's proposal after its first reading and discussion in the first round. The committee chairman wrote, "Congratulations. I will share with you that your proposal and Berkeley's are the best proposals I have seen in three years, and yours is the best written and the best presented. You have effectively raised the bar for others."

• As charged by Elder Richard G. Scott, chair of the Executive Committee of the Board, BYU-Hawaii has focused on providing the "premier learning environment for English communications"; and President Shumway urged that all faculty, staff and students "must be trained and committed to participate in this essential learning environment."

• As part of its "return-ability" objectives, BYU-Hawaii has reorganized and is reinforcing its career service programs. "Included in this is a requirement that every student on this campus, after he or she achieves junior status or 60 credit hours, must submit on file a career plan. Obviously, one of the newest pieces to this plan is the in-country internship experience," he continued.

  "For a faculty member, it is not enough to teach a great class from day to day, or to be an encourager of a student as he or she passes through a course. Our job personally and collectively is to help the student complete his or her program and to graduate and to find a suitable placement. Faculty need to be connected with the world of work and/or graduate school. We need to fill our vocabulary with solid, current information about job possibilities. We need to be competent and persuasive in our letters of recommendation, our e-mails to friends and other contacts about students."

  President Shumway also turned time to Meli Lesuma, who is working to establish internship programs, and Kim Austin, the new director of Career Services.

"As we prepare for the Jubilee and as we execute all of the wonderful activities planned for a year-long celebration, we must be able to do this without guile and without hypocrisy. That is, we must be living examples, even witnesses, of the prophetic destiny of this school," President Shumway continued, reiterating many of the points he raised in his Jan. 8 devotional address (as reported above).

But, he added, too often we are like Laman and Lemuel. "We hear the voice of prophets. We are in the presence of apostles, prophets, seers and revelators. The spirit speaks to us in our prayers and in sacrament meetings and in temple sessions, but still we remain unaffected."

"Brothers and sisters, if there was ever a time that we should do better, be more conscientious and keep the commandments with greater consecration, I pray that we can do so," President Shumway said, listing five answers to a key question posed by Elder Dallin Oaks: "How are we to achieve the prophetic destiny as a fully anointed university of the Lord?":

1) "We must understand this University's role in the Kingdom of God. It is not just another place to work or go to school."

2) "We must be worthy in our individual lives."

3) "We must be fearless in proclaiming the truths of the gospel of Jesus Christ to our students, to each other, and to all others."

4) "We must be exemplary in efforts understandable to the world."

5) "We must seek and heed the inspiration of God in the performance of our individual responsibilities."

As President Gordon B. Hinckley did in the recent worldwide training session, President Shumway raised concern about the growing destruction of pornography. "Now I bring this up because there must be no misunderstanding among us that engaging in explicit pornographic media, printed or digital or otherwise, is in violation of Church standards and the honor code of this University, and will constitute grounds for immediate suspension."

In concluding, President Shumway said, "I believe that BYU-Hawaii has played and will yet play a significant role in the unfolding of the kingdom across the world, especially in the training and nurturing in preparing the young men and young women who the Lord has called to this place."

 

Math professor, former dean, retires after 37 years

Jack V. Johnson, a BYU-Hawaii mathematics professor for the past 37 years and a former University administrator, retired as of Jan. 1 and is looking forward to writing and resuming painting.

"This was my first job teaching. I came in 1966 when the campus was only eight years old," reminisced Johnson, a former BYU-Hawaii associate vice president of academics who also served as the first full-time dean of the College of Arts and Sciences.

Originally from Preston, Idaho, Johnson earned his undergraduate and graduate degrees from Idaho State University. When he started looking for a teaching position, he recalled, "I had applied at five different locations, and could have gone to four of them. The Lord made it clear to me through the witness of the Holy Ghost that I was supposed to come here."

One of the reasons for that decision became clear to him after he'd been in Laie for two years: Johnson married Cassandra Hom ('70, Mathematics), a CCH student from Honolulu who had taken three math classes from him. The couple now has seven children — all of whom have attended or are attending BYU-Hawaii. Sister Johnson is still an adjunct faculty member in math at BYU-Hawaii.

Johnson is a familiar figure to many, even if they never took a math class from him, as he zips around campus and the community in his motorized wheel chair. He explained the wheelchair is the result of his gradual "downhill slide of muscle strength" ever since he was a baby.

"My parents took me to a specialist when I was 18 months old. They were told I wouldn't live for more than a year." His parents took him to other specialists, "and we tried a lot of different things over the years, but every single diagnosis was different. They didn't know what I had. When I was in junior high school we sort of gave up."

Still, Johnson didn't let his handicap stop him. For instance, at Idaho State he won the dormitories table tennis singles championship; and the first year after he arrived in Laie, he and the late Richard Coburn, a friend from Idaho State and a CCH math colleague, took the dormitories table tennis doubles championship, at a time when the game was very popular.

"I started using a motorized wheel chair in '85 when I became division chair. I felt like I needed a way to get around the widespread departments," he said, adding that after he broke his leg in 1993, he was no longer able to walk or stand. "The fact of the matter is I would have probably been in a wheelchair within a year anyway."

Johnson feels his disability has actually helped him in some ways. "If you're different, then people notice you. What you do with that attention will determine how they feel about you, and how much they learn. I don't really think it affected the quality of my teaching, but I think it affected my students' attitudes for the better."

Asked to reminisce a little more, Johnson said "there have been fabulous changes on campus over the years. We have grown and matured so much. I firmly believe that we're a finer institution. I think things get better every year."

Johnson also said he especially recalls "the period of time when we were just breaking into relationships with China. I'll never forget the time President [Elliott] Cameron went back to his office and had two messages: One was to call Salt Lake and the other was to call the White House," he said, explaining the Premier of China wanted to visit BYU-Hawaii after meeting with President Ronald Reagan in 1984.

He added some of his students, especially from his earlier teaching years, "became and remain very dear friends."

At 62, Johnson said he also felt inspired that it was time to retire. "I had the feeling that I'd been released," he said. "Ecclesiastes says it well: There's a season for all things. There was a time for me to teach. There was a time for me to be an administrator. There's a time for me to retire. I have no regrets about stepping down and retiring."

"I have about three books I want to write. I want to do a teaching newsletter every quarter to my family, giving them parenting and marriage tips. I want to get back into my genealogy, and I want to start painting again, which I haven't done since I got married," Johnson continued, noting he works mainly in oils.

"BYU-Hawaii has been a wonderful place to work. As far as I'm concerned, it's been perfect," Johnson said. "If some wizard had come and said to me, Jack, you could have any job you want, I would have said I want this one right here."

 

Basketball: Seasiders break into NCAA II top-25, rank 2nd in region

For the first time this season, the BYU-Hawaii Seasiders — who have won 14 straight as of press deadline — made it into the NCAA Division II Bulletin's Top-25 list on Jan. 20, premiering at number-22. The Siders, with their 15-2 record, are the only team from the Pacific West Conference to appear in the poll this season.

The Seasiders also ranked second, behind Cal State-San Bernardino, in the NCAA II's first regional poll, which was released Jan. 21. BYU-Hawaii Sports Information Director Scott Lowe indicated the "regional poll ultimately determines which teams will receive bids to the NCAA II tournament in March."

In pre-season play, BYU-Hawaii defeated Humboldt State, the top-ranked team in the nation, and went on to defeat three Division I teams in December. They have not lost to a Division II opponent this year, with their only two losses this season occurring last November to Division I Hawaii and Colorado State.

Last year the Seasiders climbed as high as number-12 in the poll, before ending the 02-03 season with a first-round loss in the NCAA II tournament.

Most recently, the BYU-Hawaii men edged HPU 70-69 on Jan. 22 in the final 14 seconds of play. Earlier, the Sider men defeated Chaminade, 70-66, following just a two-point lead in the final 30 seconds of the game. In another close win on Jan. 10, Jake Chrisman nailed an 18-foot jump shot off an inbounds play with just six seconds to play to lift the Siders to a 91-90 victory over Montana State-Billings.

BYU-Hawaii sophomore guard Shawn Opunui recently
took over the national NCAA II lead with a 56.8 three-point field goal percentage. Opunui, who is from Orem, Utah, also ranks 26th nationally in three-pointers per game with 3.1. He is sixth in the Pacific West Conference in scoring, averaging 18.9 points per game.

Water polo star claims third All-American honors
BYU-Hawaii men's water polo star Vanja Kalabic received First-Team NCAA II All-American recognition from the
Collegiate Water Polo Association for the third consecutive year. He also received Honorable Mention on the All-Division Team.

Kalabic, a junior from Belgrade, Yugoslavia, scored 75 goals this season for the Seasiders, averaging 3.4 goals per game as he led BYU-Hawaii to a 15-7 overall record and a 16th-place finish in the national rankings — the highest in their three-year history. The Seasiders, who finished fifth in the WWPA tournament, are expected to return all but two seniors next year and finish even better.

Lt. Col. James "Junior" Niumatalolo ('84, Social Work) was recently transferred from the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., to the U.S. Pacific Command at Camp Smith in Honolulu, and enjoys living back in Laie for a couple of years. Junior, who was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant in the Army through the UH ROTC program when he graduated from BYU-Hawaii, has completed 20 years and plans to serve at least until 2009. His career has taken him all over the world. "I love being back in Laie," he said. "It's a special place to live. People here just don't appreciate the time they have in Laie. I wish I could take them to other places so they could see how nice the blessings are for the people who live here. My education at BYU-Hawaii has given me the core values. When you're talking with people, you can be a strong influence for a lot of good things to happen. Also, working at the Cultural Center with all the tourists who came, we had a better education and experience."

1990s

Joel Chibota ('92, Information Systems) and his wife, Rosita, who are originally from Zimbabwe, have been living in Salt Lake City, Utah, for almost a year.
