Concerning announcements

To the Editor: I am writing regarding the editorial policies of your nupepa Ka Wai Ola O OHA. Today, there are many issues, activities and events happening among various Hawaiian organizations. Your nupepa ean and does play a very important part in keeping the Hawaiian community and its readers informed. Unfortunately it is very noticeable that many groups and activist individuals are not given this forum to include their views; (as different as it may seem from OHA trustees) to announee their meetings and events, so the community ean make a more informed ehoiee regarding important issues. I suspect that there is a growing trend toward what seems to be censorship and discrimination. The tendency to reflect middle-of-the-road-groups, views (mana'o), is also apparent. lf this is true, then it is a sad commentary; for I am sure the Hawaiians want an open dialogue and to remain informed on important issues. I would like to encourage OHA to support diverse opinions and ideas for the welfare of the community. Ke Aloha No, Tom Kanani Mauloa Maunupau Editor's note: Ka Wai Ola O OHA will print notices of meetings and events, however it ean not print what is not received or received too late. Deadlines are carried on page 2 of every edition.
