Local group rallies for human trafficking bills
RITA COURY / RITA COURY PHOTOGRAPHY /MCT
Today’s rally at the state capitol building aims to raise awareness among legislators about human trafficking. A LICIA D. PARTRIDGE Senior Staff Writer
“Hawai‘i is one of fi ve remaining states that has not passed a state law effectively addressing human trafficking as a felony offense while protecting the victims,” said the Director of local organization, Pacific Alliance to Stop Slavery (PASS), Kathryn Xian. PASS and its supporters are rallying together today, on the
opening day of the Hawai‘i State Legislature at the capitol building, to raise awareness and advocate for three proposed bills related to human traffi cking in Hawai‘i. “This rally is not only about the bills, but for the survivors of sex and labor traffi cking in Hawai‘i,” Xian said. At the rally, Xian explained that supporters will gather in front of the building at 10 a.m., wearing PASS shirts and waving signs for
the cause. Selected supporters have been asked to give a written and/or verbal testimony to the members of the legislature. “The issue of human traffi cking is very personal to me because I am considered a traffi cking victim,” said PASS activist and HPU undergraduate student, Jenna Clark. “I hope that today will make a statement [to the legislators] and raise community awareness about human traffi cking.”
The proposed bills include: a sex trafficking bill proposed by the Women’s L egislative Caucus package, a sex trafficking bill by the Honolulu City Prosecutor Keith Kaneshiro and a labor trafficking bill proposed by Sen. Suzanne Chun Oakland. Numbers have yet to be assigned to the bills. “We support the Women’s Caucus bill and we support elements of the prosecutor’s bill but
are holding off on full support ‘till we see the propsal,” Xian said. “We are glad to hear that the prosecutor is supportive of this issue.” In 2003, Washington was the first state to pass a law criminalizing human trafficking and had the most stringent law in the country, according to the Washington State Attorney General. Since then, all but four states have passed state-level human trafficking laws: Massachusetts, Wyoming, West Virginia, South Dakota and Hawai‘i. Hawai‘i is the leader in combating sex tourism after a man from ‘Aina Haina was found running a sex tourism business from his home. In May 2004, the Hawai‘i State Legislature passed HB 2020, making it a felony offense, with a sentence of up to five years in prison, to sell or offer to sell travel services for the purpose of engaging in prostitution. Hawai‘i is the first state to specifically criminalize the activities of sex tour operators. Although Hawai‘i was a pioneer in this aspect, PASS argues that the Hawai‘i’s current statutes are problematic because they place both victim and patron in the same criminal category, making it diffi cult for HPD to recognize prostitutes as victims. These statues carry heavy societal bias, criminalizing victims as prostitutes while the traffi cker is only charged with a misdemeanor offense. Finally, they are not preventive, so action cannot be taken until the offense happens. “We have been saying for the past fi ve years that the laws should be victim centered,” Xian said. “The laws need to go after the traffi ckers more strictly.” See Human trafficking, next page

Human trafficking from previous page
W H AT I S H U M A N T R A F F I C K I N G? Human traffi cking is defi ned by the United Nations as “The recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of persons, by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation.”
A B O U T PA S S PA S S was started in 20 09 by X ian af ter six years of human
traf f icking advocacy. PA S S works holistically to combat human traf f icking, building alliances with public interest le gal ser vices, non-governmental organizations, churches, nonprof it communit y organizations, domestic violence shelters, educational institutions and law enforcement. It also teams up with national organizations for support. PASS is firmly committed to ending human trafficking, which it defines as “the modern-day form of slavery,” and advocates for the stricter prosecution of pimps and johns.

Don’t be blue, avoid the flu M AY SALCEDO Staff Writer
Flu shots are being offered to students and faculty at the UH Health Center, so you can rest assured that this semester will be safe and sniffle-free. The fl u doesn’t pose much risk to young adults – the majority of the 3,000 fl u-related deaths every year are elderly fatalities, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This is because the immune systems of the elderly are more depleted than those of young adults. Dr. Paul Patek, an immunologist and UH faculty member, recommends the vaccine for everyone because of its minimal side effects and its ability to either shield an individual completely from the disease or lessen the severity of fl u symptoms.
WHO SHOULD GET THE FLU SHOT? -People 50 years of age and older -Children 6 months of age and older -Pregnant women -People with chronic conditions -People who live or work in college dorms, apartments, medical facilities, etc.
I M P L I C AT I O N S O F T H E F L U SHOT Because the f lu virus undergoes yearly rapid mutations, a person should get the seasonal f lu shot every year. Note that
although the f lu shot guarantees immunity of certain virus strains, it will not guarantee total immunity since the virus changes form every year; there is still a chance that one will contract another type of f lu. Remember, H1N1 is an entirely different strain from the seasonal fl u and requires a different vaccine. According to Dr. Patek, H1N1 is more dangerous in young adults, so it is recommended for them to get this shot as well.
SO WHY SHOULD I GET THE FLU SHOT? Getting the f lu shot still increases your chances of being immune to the f lu virus when it comes around. It also pre vents your friends and family from getting the f lu since your now-immunized body acts as a “shield” between them and the virus. Dr. Patek recommends that “the best way to protect the elderly is by immunizing the children around them.”
W H Y I S E V E RYO N E S O WO R R I E D A B O U T 30 0 0 F L U - R E L AT E D C A S UA LT I E S? Although the seasonal fl u is nothing but a highly contagious, severe version of the cold, immunologists are ner vous about the genetic shif ts that the many forms of the virus are able to undergo. T he H1N1 f lu virus, which was only transmitted be -
t ween pigs, was able to mutate into one that is transmittable from human to human. Since this mutation mirrored that of the bird f lu virus which led to the 1918 pandemic, it ’s no wonder microbiologists were quite ner vous. In fact, the f lu pandemic of 1918 killed more people in one year than the bubonic plague of 1347-1351 did in four years. “ W hen the virus transmits from chicken to human, then it ’s a little scar y. But when it starts transmitting from human to human, then we have an epidemic and that ’s go ing to be a huge problem,” Dr. Patek says. In addition to the fl u shot, you should also take active approaches to avoid spreading the virus: 1) Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water for at least 30 seconds. (Try singing “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” while you’re doing it. Not only does it span the required time it takes for sanitation, but it also makes for a catchy tune in the bathroom.) 2) Do not share any drinking glasses, utensils or food with other people. 3) If you do have the flu, cough or sneeze into your sleeve where the elbow bends. (Expending your little nasties there instead of on your hands makes

A fresh look for spring H AIYA SARWAR Associate Feature Editor
This spring, less is more. One of the major looks for this season is minimalism. Tyson Joines, who works in public relations with Hawai‘i’s newest fashion magazine Disfunkshion, says simple is sexy. “Minimalism is about deconstructing looks to the bare minimum – whatever that may be. For a girl, that may be black leggings and a button-down shirt, and for guys that could mean skinny jeans and a plain white V-neck T-shirt. A girl can pull off a wellstyled look without looking drab by picking the right pieces of clothing for the occasion, weather and body shape. Those are three very important things to remember, no matter what look you are
going for.” The look brings together the relaxed luxuriousness of the French Riviera with the edginess of New York. The refreshing simplicity is a statement in itself. Small touches of accessories are the key to glam up your look. To achieve the look in a casual, comfortable way, here are some timeless key pieces to buy: 1) Straight-leg jeans: The return of a looser pant leg is fi nally here. The great thing about straight leg jeans is that they are so much more fl attering than skinnies. They are also effortless to wear. Check out the Armani Exchange for jeans that fit more comfortably than a glove – more like a mitten. Hollister and American Eagle offer a wide variety of less pricey alternatives. For some
extra pointers, darker denim is the thing this season. And as always, white denim is in for spring! 2) Fisherman’s sweaters: Remember those simple, chunky sweaters your grandma used to wear? They’re back, and they’re here for the young this time. An oversized, cable-knit sweater captures the cozy, natural look. It will also be sure to keep you warm on rainy days in spring. These timeless sweaters always come back in style and a good quality one is well worth the money. 3) White tops: Imperfection in size is the key to updating these classic pieces. An easy, breezy, oversized white tunic or cropped top will serve you See Spring fashion, next page

Spring fashion from previous page
throughout spring and into summer. 4) The LBD: Audrey Hepburn’s little black dress will be eternally stylish. The classic, fitted cuts were all over the spring runways. But you can also make it edgy with modern pleats, or cuts such as dolman sleeves. 5) Bracelets: Simple bangles and
bracelets are a great way to add sparkle and shine to your look. Gold, bronze and copper tones look gorgeous with whites and heather brown outfits. Bright colors, on the other hand, add an element of funkiness. In the words of Tim Gunn, “Make it work.” Express has a great collection of pieces to glam up any girl.
But money can’t buy the most important thing in this fashion look: conf idence. As cliché as it sounds, ma ximized conf idence is the key to the minimized look. “Minimalist style can and should be achieved effortlessly. I believe it’s based half on actual style, and half on attitude and how well you pull it off,” Joines said.

SHANE MOORE Staff Writer How much do you really know about the inner workings of the United States federal government? Thanks to a recent report by WikiLeaks, an international whistleblowing organization founded by Australian journalist Julian Assange, thousands of cables between United States diplomats and various foreign representatives have been released to the public. In many cases, they were met with harsh criticism, both domestic and international. The startling reaction to WikiLeaks’ reports by both federal officials and various corporations calls into question transparency within our government and how such hostility towards freedom of information has developed. The prosecution of WikiLeaks over the benign cables in their most recent leak may very well result in the end of whistleblowing journalism. The released cables have implicated the United States in various questionable activities, including espionage within the United Nations and mismanagement of U.S. contrac-
tors involved in child prostitution in Afghanistan. The leaked cables also revealed corporate protectionism, backroom politicking by U.S. diplomats and criticism of foreign leaders. Notable in these leaks is the lack of any information which could directly threaten American lives, either at domestic or international levels. WikiLeaks has revealed no critical military operations, nor has it compromised any aspect of homeland security. Many of the released cables simply put the United States in an awkward position on the international diplomatic stage, and only by exposing the government’s own questionable behavior. Nevertheless, the response to WikiLeaks’ whistleblowing has been largely hostile. Various U.S. federal officials have labeled WikiLeaks as a terrorist organization, operating with the intent to damage foreign relations; Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called the leak “... an attack on the international community ... the conversations and negotiations that safeguard global security and advance economic prosperity.” Sen. Mitch McConnell called Assange a “high-tech terrorist.”
Is this really a fair analysis of WikiLeaks and its reporting? Assange has provided a rare insight into the political machinations of American foreign policy, an issue that should not be covered with black ink in a government “by the people, for the people.” It is expected for any government to employ some level of secrecy in their operations regarding national security, but not to cover up embarrassing incidents involving their diplomats. Secrecy should not be the first line of defense in a nation that declares freedom of speech. It cannot be denied that these cables have damaged relations between the United States and its foreign allies and associates. However, relations were already sabotaged by the unscrupulous activities of United States dignitaries. To think that there would be no other way for the international community to discover these secrets is naïve at best, especially in this age of free-flowing information. If journalistic activity in the interest of government transparency on basic foreign issues is considered terrorism, what level of openness can we expect from government?

WILL CARON Editor-in-Chief
We all know weed is going to get smoked. In fact, some of the people reading this are probably already baked and it may not even be lunch time yet. So why not legalize it? It could conceivably cut gang violence, lessen the economic hold cartels have over America’s drug habits and bring the states some muchneeded cash through taxation. It isn’t hard to fi nd a drug dealer on campus, and the fi rst one I encountered, Mr. P, is certainly not shy about what he does — except for, you know, that whole illegality issue. “People who hustle weed smoke for free, basically,” reasoned Mr. P. “It’s the higher-ups who would have to worry — that’s where the money is.” Another dealer, Mr. K, told me that if weed were to be legalized, his business would most likely dry up, leaving him with
no option but to find an alternate means of income. “I probably would just end up going out to grow [marijuana] ... I could make money off it selling to legal distributors [or] illegal — whoever wants it,” said Mr. K. “I’m not really about hard drugs,” he continued. “I keep it to natural hallucinogens at max. I don’t like chemicals. It’s bad for you.” The irony of that statement aside, Mr. K and Mr. P were eerily nonchalant about the prospect of their weed trade taking a hit should the herb go legal. “I’d probably just end up pushing hallucinogens — ‘shrooms probably,” said K. “I don’t make a profit off of weed,” confessed Mr. P. For him, it’s about meeting people and using the weed as a social tool. And at the same time that he’s not making a profit from weed, he’ll fl ip $300 worth of mushrooms for one of those aforementioned “higher-ups.” “If you want to make money,
get a job. Hustling is fun. It’s a game. You can make money if you want ... [but] the way I see it, [marijuana] is the scrub of the game. You can make bank off of pills, coke, crack, ice.” If weed were legalized, consumption would rise, American growers would make a profit and students would be much more likely to fall asleep in class. But the real stor y is that drug dealing wouldn’t end. It would simply evolve. Weed would no longer need to be fl ipped by dealers, because people would have legal access to it. Instead, dealers would concentrate on selling mushrooms, ecstasy, speed, LSD, cocaine and meth to a population that would have already crossed through the gateway that seperates casual potsmoker from hard-core ice-head. The dealers certainly don’t seem worried. Take it away, Mr. P: “Man, if weed were legalized, I’d get a prescription right away and smoke fat all day long.”

Rainbow Warriors return home JOE F ERRER Senior Staff Reporter
There’s no place like home. But it was a sweet win for the Rainbow Warrior basketball team on the road last week. Before Saturday’s 56 -48 win at Louisiana Tech, the program had not won a game on the road since the 2008-2009 season. “It feels good,” said senior forward Bill Amis. “This was the biggest game of the year so far.” With the win, not only did the ’Bows end their 17-game road losing streak (which dates back to the 2009 season), but it also kept them out of last place in the league standings. After a promising 9-3 start to this season, UH was off to its worst start in Western Athletic Conference play since 1986, opening with a 0-5 record. The Rainbow Warriors return for two games this week against
Fresno State (7-9, 3-3 WAC) on Thursday night and San Jose State on Saturday. Both games begin at 7 p.m. at the Stan Sheriff Center. “We just gotta fi gure it out,” said Amis, who is coming off a 22-point and 12-rebound performance against La Tech. The ’Bows will have to figure out how to contain freshman Kevin Olekaibe if they want to beat the Bulldogs. Olekaibe, a six-foot-one-inch guard from Las Vegas, leads the team in scoring (10.9 points per game) and assists (1.9 assists per game). For Hawai‘i, six-foot-teninch sophomore center Vander Joaquim is second in the conference with 9.2 rebounds per game and is the only ’Bow to start all 18 games this season. Junior shooting guard Zane Johnson is the team’s leading scorer in his fi rst season as a Rainbow Warrior. He leads the team in three-point percentage
(.400) and free-throw percentage (.899) as well as minutes played per game (32.5).
vs Fresno State Thursday at 7 p.m.
vs San Jose State Saturday at 7 p.m. Both games at the Stan Sheriff Center. Students get in free with a validated UHM ID.

Wade said, on playing at home. “Certainly we are excited to get back in front of our fans. I hope it does matter.” Stanford lost two All-American starters from last season in Kawika Shoji (‘Iolani ’06) and Evan Romero. The pair ended their careers with a national title, but the Warriors know that this isn’t the same team from last year. “You can’t replace seniors,” senior outside hitter Joshua Walker said. “You can’t replace that in one year. We know they’re a good team but it’s a different team from last year.” Stanford’s roster still features six players from Hawai‘i, including Brad Lawson (‘Iolani ’08) and Erik Shoji (‘Iolani ’08). Lawson was named last season’s AVCA National Player of the Year. Both Shojis are the sons of Rainbow Wahine volleyball head coach Dave Shoji.
RIGHTING THE SHIP The Warriors are coming off of a winless Outrigger Hotels Invitational, losing to Ball State, Penn State and UCLA. Starting 0-3 isn’t what Hawai‘i expected, so they will make some changes this week. “We’re not going to do the same thing, that’s for sure,” Walker said. “We got to work a lot harder in practice, so when we go out in games it’s more expected, instead of it being in shock that we’re not playing at a high level.” Zemljak is trying to be as optimistic as possible. “It was a good wake-up call for us,” Zemljak said. “We got to take it for what it is and learn from it. Maybe those losses will bring out some positives, because it definitely exposed a lot of things that we need to work on,” he continued.

Avoiding the Cardinal sin Warriors begin conference play
last week, Biscaro appeared in all three matches and notched nine sets. “I’m just trying to learn from [Zemljak] as much as possible, and from my coaches as much as possible,” Biscaro said. “If I get in to play that’s great, it’s a good experience. But whatever it takes to help this team.” Zemljak has mentored Biscaro and is confident that he will be able to take over the reins next year. “He’s a great player,” Zemljak said of the 6 -foot-5 -inch Biscaro. “He’s got some height, too, which is good for a setter, and he’s got great talent potential. I’m not even going to talk about him for next season. He’s going to be a pretty significant part of who we

The Warriors will shift their focus to conference play, but it doesn’t prevent them from looking ahead to next year. Senior setter and f loor captain Nejc Zemljak has started for Hawai‘i the past two seasons, but his replacement has already been chosen. “Sam [Biscaro] is going to be a real good player for us,” head coach Charlie Wade said. “ We got him penciled in to be the starting setter next year and we’re going to get him in as much as we can this year.” With that in mind, Biscaro, a redshirt freshman, will try to make the most of his playing time this season.

SPIKING FOR REVENGE
No. 13 Hawai‘i (0-3), who dropped eight spots in this week’s AVCA rankings, will begin the Mountain Pacifi c Sports Federation play by hosting two matches against the defending national champions No. 2 Stanford (4-0). Matches will be at the Stan Sheriff Center on Friday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 5 p.m. The Cardinals defeated the Warriors three times last season, all in Palo A lto, Calif., and now Hawai‘i has a shot at them at home. “I hope it’s an advantage,” See Men’s volleyball, page 11
