Ka Punahou (Student Publication)

Description

DescriptionAdd in a summary of the history of Ka Punahou

Ka Punahou has a long tradition of covering important events both on and off campus, all from the student perspective. In early 1942 student journalists covered the attack on Pearl Harbor and the subsequent military takeover of Punahou campus. Stories included a move to UH campus as well as rule changes, including certain allowances for the female students to wear pants to school so that they could run faster in the event of another air attack.

In later years, student journalists covered a visit from Martin Luther King Jr in 1959, Punahou student reactions to the September 11 attacks in 2001, as well as a chapel speech in 2005 from the newly-elected senator from Illinois, Barack Obama.

Other noteworthy, though perhaps less historic topics include the theft of $50,000 in carnival funds from a safe in the Sullivan building in 2003, and a controversial chapel in 2004 where some students openly protested the political nature of the chaplain’s message.

The paper has changed over time. In the early days students sold ad space to local businesses to cover their printing costs. This practice eventually became unnecessary when the school allocated funds in the budget for printing and other expenses. Later volumes began to make space for artwork, and eventually photos.
