What is the Reason?
"The Club will strive to foster a close relationship among its members, introduce the University community to the libertarian philosophy, and encourage the intellectual discourse of political issues among members of the HPU community."
From preamble of the RC-Constitution
The namesake of the Reason Club is the Reason Foundation which publishes Reason Magazine.
This magazine is available at HPU's Meader Library, 5th Floor.
AT the Student Life Office you may request to see the Reason-Club Constitution ,
and you may have photocopies made.

Libertarian Party
The Libertarian Party (LP) of Hawai'i meets on the first Tuesday of every month in the conference room of the
Columbia Inn restaurant at 645 Kapi'olani Blvd. (When you walk in the main entrance, the conference
room is to the left.)
You do not need to be an LP member to attend these meetings, but if you would like to join the Party, attending
a meeting is a good start. Chair Roger Taylor can be reached by e-mail at rogert@pixi.xom
The state LP publishes a monthly newsletter, Hawai'i Libertarian , and the national LP publishes the monthly LP News .
You may subscribe to both of these periodicals without becoming a LP Member, but the price is the same as for membership: $25. (a lower
student rate can be negotiated). The primary difference between membership and subscription is that as a member you have to sign a simple
statement of principles.
If you have cable, you may tune in to Channel 54 ('Olelo) on Sunday evenings from 9.00 to 10.00pm and watch a prerecorded Hawai'i LP meeting or other Hawai'i LP event.
