I can let me go dig out that copy
Ok I couldnt find issues #1 but I have several copies of the official program from EXOTICON "95 The Tiki manifesto is right inside the front cover.

TIKI MANIFESTO

TIKIS ARE BEING DESTROYED AND LEFT TO ROT AT AM ALARMING RATE
THE LOSS OF TIKI IS A LOSS TO OUR SOCIETY

THE PAST TWO DECADES AS SEEN WHAT QE CALL THE DEMISE OF POLYNESIAN POP

IT IS OUR MISSION TO PRESERVE ANY AND ALL REMAINING ELEMENTS FROM THE POLYNESIAN
POP ERA OF THE MID 1950'S TO THE MID 1970'S

WE ALSO RECOGNIZE PRE TIKI EXOTIC ELEMENTS AS PRECURSORS TO THE TIKI ERA AND POST POLYNESIAN POP ERA ARTIFACTS AS EXTENSIONS OF THE TRADITION.

REDISCOVERY AND PRESERVATION OF THESE ELEMENTS AND ARTIFACTS IS ESSENTIAL AND WILL BE EXECUTED AT ALL TIMES TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITY

WE WILL NOT REMOVE OR OTHERWISE HINDER ANY ELEMENTS IN THEIR ORIGINAL SETTING
UNLESS THOSE ELEMENTS ARE IN INHERENT DANGER

NOR DO WE ENCOURAGE TE AGREEBLE SALE AND/OR FRIENDLY REMOVAL OF THESE ELEMENTS
FROM THEIRORIGINAL SETTING. LIKE NATURE WE BELIEVE THESE ELEMENTS TO BE FOR PUBLIC ENJOYMENT.

REMOVAL AND PRESERVATION OF ELEMENTS FACING IMMIENT DANGER IS NOT ONLY
CONDONED , IT IS ENCOURAGED

TO REMOVE TIKIS AND OTHER ELEMENTS NOT FACING DANGR IS TO TRAMPLE UPON ALL
EXISTING MORAL AND ETHICAL CODES. BESIDES THAT ITS BAD LUCK

WE INTEND TO CREATE A FRUM FOR SHARINGPAST AND CURRENT INFORMATION REGARDING
ANY SORT OF TIKI CULTURE. ALL INFORMATION WILL E DISPURSED IN AN EFFORT
TO PROMOTE GROTH OF CURRENT TIKI CULTURE.
