After a ""Hawaiian greeting"" by Dean Orielle Murphy, Dr. Walter Williamson discussed the effect of the influence of Orien-tal and Occidental cultures on the family life of the youth of hawaii Yor those who missed the first Convocation of the year, a Hawaiian greeting consists of placing a lei over the head of the visitor, hugging him or her and kissing the recipient wmnly. Dr. Williamson explained that. because he could not find a native Hawaiian to demonstrate the greeting, he had acquired the next best thing: a native Californian. Dr. Williamson introduced his subject by discussing the various temtions visitors to Hawaii exhibit toward the warm greetings given to all by the Hawaiians. Because of the many diverse cultures from which they hope to build a better state, Hawaiians are very open-minded, ference and regional conferences at 1 a cost of over thousand dollars. Bob argued that ""we spread our-selves too thin by giving considera-tion to issues of many and varied complexities without the pre-requisite means of thorough in-vestigation we touched upon friendly, and warm-hearted toward all, he said. Dr. Williamson, who was on I much and completed very little."" a year's leave of absence to teach at the University of Hawaii, limited his talk to the roles of the father, daughter, and religion, and the attitude toward other races which he found in the homes of Hawaiians of Oriental ancestry. His informants were 41 of the students at the University of Hawaii. He noted that these students, be-cause they were so eager to learn, did so much extra work that he had to request them not to work so hard. The father plays a very dominant role as the head of the family, he said. While this role varies from a strict authoritarian one to a gentle and understanding attitude, he ex-plained, most of the students en-joyed a happy home-life, regardless of the hardships and the usually large number of children. The role of the daughter, Dr. Williamson said, is a subservient one in Oriental societies. This re-sults in a lack of female initiative and self-confidence.
