GLOBAL WARMING IN JAVAQ & A with a UH Mānoa Ph.D student

FEATURES

Serving the students of the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa.

EVELYN ASCHENBRENNER

Contributing Writer

Many University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa students walk by the APEC banner at the University Avenue and Dole Street intersection, but they might not know what the group is about, and that not everyone in the community supports it. APEC, which stands for Asia-Pacifi c Economic Cooperation, is an organization of 21 countries that meet yearly to discuss and promote certain economic and trade policies. This year, they’re meeting in Honolulu in mid-No-vember. The effects of these poli-

cies, however, are being protested by several groups across campus. “At this stage, we’re educating people about the negative effects of APEC policy before the leaders come in November,” said Nandita Sharma, an ethnic studies and sociology professor and member of activist group Eating in Public. “Our main goal is educational.” Last Friday, an information fair was held at Campus Center, followed by an anti-APEC march across campus. Organized by World Can’t Wait, the approxi-mately 15-member march included representatives from the American Civil Liberties Union, Revolution

Books and Eating in Public, a col-lective whose mission is to establish common areas within the capital-ist/state regime, such as commu-nity gardens. “There’s no accountability in the process,” said Gaye Chan about APEC’s mission. Chan is chair of the art and art history department at UH and a member of Eating in Public. “They speak to their cor-porate leaders about how to create more profi t for corporations.” According to pamphlets ti-tled “APEC SUCKS,” which were passed out at the information fair, APEC uses the term “free trade” as a code word for “policies that

give imperialist powers and mul-tinational corporations the ‘right’ to go into oppressed countries and take out whatever they want, with as few restrictions as possible.” “It creates unemployment and poverty, or an agenda that puts large government fi rst, [and] that goes against indigenous rights,” said Shane Lee, a UH senior in le-gal studies who was browsing the information fair. “I’m interested in social justice issues,” said Hector Valenzuela, a UH agricultural professor who took part in the march. “And this is

APEC sucks: campus protestfrom front page

The APEC Leaders Week Meeting will be held in Honolulu on November 12-13.For more information, see:

Members of local activist groups organized Friday’s protests partially in response to what they perceive as strong university support for APEC.

Rim.” There will be multiple coun-ter-APEC events in the upcoming weeks before the APEC visit. The protesters and informa-tion fair volunteers were particu-larly motivated because they feel that APEC is holding the meeting in Hawai‘i to avoid large protests such as those that occurred in Van-couver and South Korea, where APEC met previously. “The trajec-tory,” said Chan, “has been moving to more and more remote regions.” However, in an email statement about Friday’s demonstrations, Chancellor Virginia Hinshaw wrote, “When President Obama chose Hawai‘i to host APEC 2011, he said that he wanted the rest of the world to share our aloha spirit.” Eating in Public printed ban-ners and T-shirts, using recycled material, with the help of stu-dents. The T-shirts read “APEC PILAU” – pilau is a Hawaiian word for disgusting things – and were given away for free. Hinshaw’s email statement to Ka Leo about the anti-APEC event emphasized need for face-to-face

interaction and discussion to make progress. The chancellor called this face-to-face interaction “face-mail,” and said that “hosting APEC in November is our opportunity for ‘facemail’ on a global scale.” “UH Mānoa and Hawai‘i have, for many decades, had long, well-established and cordial relation-ships with these economies, as well as having many UH Mānoa alumni there. November’s meet-ing in Honolulu is an opportunity to strengthen our communica-tion and relationships with them,” wrote Hinshaw. “The university has been very supportive [of APEC], as noted by the sign in the intersection,” Chan said about UH. Regarding the event, she add-ed that she was told by campus of-fi cials that the chalk drawings on the ground around the anti-APEC booths were a safety issue. “When a group has a function, we want to support them as much as possible,” said Sarah Yap, direc-tor of Student Union and Campus Life Services. In the past, she said,

other groups have used chalk and not cleaned up afterward. Due to the construction on Campus Center, some types of displays, like balloons on hand railings, have been restricted, she said. Since there aren’t as many walkways, signs around railways can be a safety hazard. “We respect the right of free speech and the right to protest in an appropriate manner,” wrote Hinshaw.

The department formerly known as “Speech” wants students and the public at large to have a clearer sense of what is studied in its classes. As of this year, it has been offi cially renamed the Depart-ment of Communicology. “For 20 years it ’s bugged us, having the wrong name,” said Dr. Kelly Aune, chair of the department. Many people in the department felt that the term “speech” carried the wrong connotations. “It really indicates that we’re a skills department or something, and we haven’t been that for 25, 30 years,” said Aune. This led people to believe they knew what the department was about, when really they had the wrong idea. “We still do the public speaking classes, that ’s not going away, but the major – we no longer have to disabuse people of what the ma-jor is about,” said Aune. According to Aune, what the department does study is communication, but the problem has always been that there is already a School of Communications at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. To complicate matters, there was also a Department of Speech and Hearing Sci-ences that recently changed its name to Communication

Sciences and Disorders. The three departments are all part of the same academic fi eld, but they serve different purposes and have different emphases. After years of pondering this difficulty, Aune said that “What occurred to us eventually is that the word ‘communication’ really does cover too much. In the field of communication, you have everything from performance arts ... all the way up to neurological processing. It runs a bandwidth of methodology that goes from art all the way up to brain sciences, and yet all of those people call themselves communication.” The Department of Communicology eventually succeeded in making the argument for a more ac-curate and distinct name. “We’d like it to be a trend,” said Aune. “The entire field needs to take a good look at itself, and for the purposes of truth in advertising ... to help everybody understand what the field of communica-tion covers, it should have some names to represent what the individual focus areas are.” So what do they study? “Everything we teach and all the research we do is traditional social science, person-to-person communication,” said Aune. This includes persuasion, conflict, message processing, deception, interpersonal relationships, and all aspects of human communication.

University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa doctoral student Wendy Miles was awarded a Fulbright U.S. Student Program scholarship this semester to conduct research in Indonesia during the 2011-12 school year. Miles is studying the effects of greenhouse gases, as Indonesia is the third-largest producer of greenhouse gases in the world, behind China and the United States. Miles, originally from Kan-sas, studied in the UH geography department under the guidance of Dr. Krisna Suryanata, a political ecologist from the Indonesian is-land of Java. Miles has previously lived, worked and studied in Indo-nesia with a background in forest ecology, environmental conserva-tion, political economy, and strate-gic planning and management. Ka Leo caught up with Miles to better understand the work of a Fulbright scholar studying abroad.

Q. Can you give our readers an idea of what Indonesia is like?A. Indonesia is comprised of thou-sands of islands sprinkled across the equator between Malaysia and Papua New Guinea. Indone-

sia is the third-largest democratic government in the world and has the largest economy in Southeast Asia. The nation has a vast wealth of natural resources, and is con-sidered to be second only to Bra-zil in terms of biological diversity.

Q. Can you describe your liv-ing conditions in Indonesia?A. My living conditions have varied – from Wi-Fi and hot wa-ter to no electricity or running water – but have consistently been above average.

Q. Have you experienced cul-ture shock in Indonesia?A. More like cultural awe. The dances, music, art and architec-ture of Indonesia are mesmer-izing. The archipelago’s rich cultural diversity and history fas-cinate me.

Q. What exactly is your re-search on?A. I want to learn how environ-mental conservation efforts can be made more socially inclusive and benefi cial to people, while also becoming more effective at protecting species and ecosystems

My doctoral research is fo-cused on the potential infl uence of the carbon market on the forest conservation and local livelihoods in Indonesia.

Q. How might the emission of greenhouse gases impact the people of Indonesia?A. The number one concern is that greenhouse gas emissions are

leading to climate change, which could impact Indonesian people in various ways. Increased weather variability and changing rainfall patterns would impact agricul-ture. Warmer ocean temperatures would threaten coral reef systems and tropical fi sheries. Sea level rise would impact coastal commu-nities and low-lying islands.

Q. Can you talk more about the causes and impacts of defores-tation in Indonesia?A. The two immediate causes of deforestation in Indonesia are log-ging and land conversion for cash crops. Both of these activities are directly connected to global mar-ket demand. One unique aspect of deforestation in Indonesia is that almost all of the country’s forests are under the legal jurisdiction of the Ministry of Forestry, which leases concessions to multina-tional timber companies and oil palm plantations.

Q. Do you have any advice for fellow UH students that may want to study in Indonesia?A. Now is an ideal time to study in Indonesia. Under the “Higher Education Partnership” between President Obama and President Yudhoyono, our governments are trying to double the number of American students in Indonesia and vice versa by 2015. I recom-mend that students learn more about Foreign Language and Area Studies scholarships ... UH students interested in Indonesia should seek out their peers who have lived in or are from Indonesia and ask about their experiences.

TREVOR ZAKOV

Staff Writer

Here on Earth, humans con-tinue to play the role of the innova-tor. We have achieved more than any other species. We continue to explore as far as we dare to dream. For humans, space is the fi nal frontier. The Soviets sent dozens of dogs into Earth’s orbit before de-termining that space fl ight was pos-sible for humans. Small monkeys and chimps followed before the Soviets fi nally sent a cosmonaut, Yuri Gagarin. Since the fi rst man in space, hundreds more humans have ventured into orbit. Looking into the future, countless more humans should be able to travel in space. However, none of this future in-terplanetary trailblazing or scientif-ic exploration will be possible if we do not solve a sensitive issue – soon. Ladies and gentlemen, it is offi -cial: the upper atmosphere and thin layer of space directly surrounding planet Earth is a de facto garbage dump. It is hard to imagine any So-viet or NASA scientist foreseeing that, as space programs grew, trash would become one of the major con-cerns for future space travel. Today, every space mission is obligated to consider the tons of garbage fl oat-ing in orbit. Perhaps we should not be so hard on ourselves. Looking at

humankind’s already less-than-stellar record of handling waste on Earth, it should not be such a surprise that Earth’s atmosphere is accumulating manmade waste. This space junk fl oating around our planet includes old and new satellites, rocket booster sections, and other tools and materials from many previous space missions. In 2009, for the fi rst time in his-tory, two manmade satellites, trav-eling in two completely different orbital paths, collided. The speed of the impact was calculated to be 7.7 miles per second – 27,720 miles per hour. The U.S. Space Surveillance Network has acknowledged that this explosion created at least 2,140 fragments of satellite debris. Now, most of these rogue metal frag-ments are traveling at incredible speeds as well, a threat to anything that may cross their paths. The mayday scenario that Earth’s upper atmosphere is ap-proaching is called the Kessler Syndrome. NASA scientist Don-ald J. Kessler proposed that with the satellites placed in space each year and other accumulating space debris, one crash (like the 2009 incident) can lead to a chain reac-tion of similar collisions. Kessler Syndrome predicts a “pinball-ma-chine-type” or “bumper-car-type” series of crashes above Earth’s at-mosphere. Within a short period of

time, a percent of communicationssatellites could be wiped out by thegrowing wave of space debris. Satellite-tracking website Ce-lesTrak produces twice-daily re-ports on the probability of collisions.CelesTrak reports about 400 “nearcollisions” per week; a near collisionmeans that two objects in orbit aregoing to pass within 5 kilometersof each other. Currently, there arearound 3,000 new and old satellitesorbiting earth, and an additional8,000+ registered and tracked “otherobjects” revolving around Earth. What are we going to do? A fewinnovative ways are being devisedand tested in order to eliminatespace debris. Most notable wouldbe the use of highly powerful la-sers aimed at debris, which willeffectively alter the orbital trajec-tory of these objects. The laserswill either push objects deeper intospace, away from Earth, or movethese objects closer into Earth’slower atmosphere, where they willburn with atmospheric friction. The truth is that more satel-lites and related objects will con-tinue to be added at an increasingpace. There exists no regulatoryagency with even the slightestlevel of authority to force satellitecompanies or governments to doanything constructive, thus far.Let’s see how long it takes forKessler’s prediction to come true.

Graduate student Amy Hunley submitted this photo of the pond outside Krauss Hall, claiming it has “been neon green for two months now,” despite her numerous attempts to have the problem rectifi ed. “I have yet to fi nd who is responsible for cleaning the pond and am very disturbed that no one seems to care,” said Hunley. “Ka Leo is my last hope for jus-tice, and I can’t wait for the matter to be resolved.” Students may be appalled by the rancid smell of the pond as they pass, yet animals such as ducks and

turtles do not seem to mind, as they are often seen swimming in the putrid waters. Many of us have experienced similar problems related to general upkeep of campus facilities or in our own dorms. We cannot ignore the bad “personal hygiene” of our campus.

As students, we expect a lot from our university, including the basic cleanliness and maintenance of our campus. Few envisioned that things such as cockroaches, leaking ceilings, droves of feral cats and rusted, unstable handrails would become part of their col-lege experience. With the amount we spend on tuition, shouldn’t our school be better equipped to deal with these basic issues?

ETHAN PORTER

Senior Staff Columnist

Fellow college students, I have bad news and good news. The bad news: We are a key factor in the decay of America’s job market. The good news: It is not all our fault. Unemployment in the United States stands at 9.1 percent, and everyone has an opinion on who’s to blame. Some say it is the gov-ernment’s fault (both sides point-ing fi ngers at each other), others say it is business’ fault, while still others blame the media. Instead, the biggest contribu-tor to this terrible burden is actu-ally a paradigm shift in labor. In the business world, the workforce is shaped like a pyra-

mid, with a broad base of laborers and an upper echelon of manag-ers. The laborers are the support and foundation of the workforce. Fifty years ago, having a labor job was not a bad thing. Many of our grandparents worked either on plantations or in mills. They were proud to

have those jobs, and made ad-equate livings. Unfortunately, some management took advan-tage of the laborers, giving in-adequate pay and creating poor working conditions. Workers began to organize and strike, stopping production until the

managers gave them what they wanted. Large corporations re-alized it was easier and cheap-er to outsource labor to Third World countries, which shut down mills and destroyed small towns across America. But some unions became corrupt and hier-archical, and some bosses were

able to sway workers from them. In this struggle, our parents and grandparents fi gured out that the easiest way for us to be bet-ter off was to make sure we never needed labor jobs. And what is the easiest way to break into management? Get a

bachelor’s degree. By demanding equal access to higher education and insist-ing that everyone needs to go to college, we have destroyed the job market. Just think, in a land where everyone goes to school to become managers, who will they manage? This is driving college gradu-ates to find work in the labor sec-tor, where jobs are scarce due to the outsourcing mentioned be-fore. Many are turned away be-cause they are overqualified. How do we get out of this? I think the answer lies in farming. A perfect example for us to follow comes from Ma‘o Organic Farms in Wai‘anae. Ma‘o offers a two-year internship, where stu-dents are paid to learn farming techniques, attend Leeward Com-

munity College, build savings and practice the culture of Hawai‘i. Closer to home, students can learn taro cultivation at the Hawai‘inuiākea School of Hawai-ian Knowledge. All students are invited to attend its First Saturday events, where volunteers assist in caring for the lo‘i. We need to create more pro-grams like these to teach young adults how to cultivate the land. The local government can sup-port this by making sure these young farmers have access to necessities, like af fordable health insurance and housing, and encouraging gardening in all public schools. We can create a bright fu-ture for our youth and make our islands self-sustaining all at the same time.

By demanding equal access to higher educa-tion and insisting that everyone needs to go to college, we have destroyed the job market.

This weekend, Pearl Coun-try Club will play host to the third annual University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Student Life Facilities Golf Tournament. On Friday, Sept. 30, teams of stu-dents, faculty and community members will all make the trip out to ‘Aiea to compete for the same prize. The grand prize these part-ner pairs are playing for is a trip to Las Vegas to play in the 2011 National Collegiate Golf Tour-nament from Nov. 11-13. How-ever, the grand prize is not only given to one team – it is award-ed to two of the student teams. Sponsored by the University of

Hawai‘i Federal Credit Union, the winners will enjoy free air-fare, hotel accommodations, food and green fees. Participants are expected to arrive at the course at 10 a.m. for registration, while the tour-nament itself begins with a shot-

gun start at 11:30 a.m. Though sign-ups for the event have been closed, UH students were able to save roughly 66 percent of the cost for registration. Students of the university were required

to pay only $45 per player, while the cost for the general public was $130. As for the tournament itself, the round will consist of 18 holes and will allow a handicap of 10 percent of the team’s total (with a maximum of 24 shots for men

and 30 for women). The tournament is not only for the students’ enjoyment, but is also benefi cial for other reasons. Event co-planner Emily Morihara said, “It ’s a fundrais-

er to help with student fees, so the students are benefitting from it – and anyone else who goes to play. It ’s a really good deal to play.” The tournament is good for UH on many levels. It benefits the golfers of the school by pro-viding an opportunity to win an invite to a major tourna-ment, helps out students by assisting them with their fees and, lastly, it allows supporters of the school to enjoy a round of golf while knowing that their money is used in a way of which they approve.
