CAITLIN K ELLY News Editor Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi of Burma, who has been recognized for her efforts to move her native country toward democracy, wants to empower youth to take part in the peacemaking process. “To this generation of young people in high schools and universities, with your computer and social media skills, you are ideally placed to share ideas and projects with each other and with the world,” she explained. Suu Kyi came to Hawai‘i to receive the Hawai‘i Peace Award and to speak at the Rotary Global Peace Forum, the second in a series of three conferences sponsored by Rotary International. The first conference in Berlin began in November and the final conference will take place in Hiroshima in May. This was her first visit to the islands and the second time in America since being released from house arrest in 2010.
people of Burma are lacking basic resources like fresh water and food. Inadequate funding of health care has led to high child mortality rates and tens of thousands of deaths every year from common communicable diseases. “The large majority still has to depend on state hospitals, which do not currently provide free services, so the poorer you are, the poorer your health is bound to be,” Suu Kyi said.
E D U C AT I O N As a graduate of Oxford University, Suu Kyi recognized the importance of proper education in a peaceful world. She explained that years of military dictatorship have left the children of
Burma at a disadvantage. “Like health care, education is another critical component for long-term peace building and nation building processes,” Suu Kyi said. “Education is the key to the future, particularly the future of a country like Burma; the young people in Burma do not have the same educational opportunity as those in other parts of the world.” W hile Suu Kyi was living in England, she was appalled at the number of people who would not utilize their education to participate in the democratic process. “If you don’t use your vote, you don’t use your democratic rights and are failing in your democratic responsibilities,” she said. “And everybody has a responsibility to uphold the kind of On society that they want

to live in, so I would urge everybody to take their vote seriously.”
ʻG E N U I N E WA R MT H AND KINDNESSʼ Though Burma is thousands of miles away from Hawai‘i , she believes that the two areas are similar in certain respects. “We benefit from a rich diversity of ethnic groups, our traditional culture is one of hospitality and warmth,” Suu Kyi said. “We have experienced a period of extreme suffering and are in need of healing. We can look to Hawai‘i’s progress as a beacon of hope to ourselves.” Suu Kyi marveled at the harmonious interactions she observed on a regular basis in the Aloha State. “This [Hawai‘i] is one of the most racially diverse places in the world,” she said. “In fact, there’s no majority, everyone is part of a minority. As I’ve already found, there’s genuine warmth and kindness in every day relations.”

H E A LT H C A R E The dismal state of the health care system in Burma was a topic of discussion, and Suu Kyi believes that student can help. “While talking about health care, I thought that there would be students that would like to contribute generously to our project to try and renovate the Yangon General Hospital so that our public can get better health care: genuinely free health care,” Suu Kyi said.

Long before she won the Nobel Prize or led demonstrations against the Burmese military junta, Aung San Suu Kyi was the daughter of Aung San, the father of modern, independent Burma and the country’s unofficial prime minister immediately after World War II. In July 1947, when his daughter was two years old, Aung San was assassinated by forces related to a former colonial prime minister. The killing marked the beginning of a series of confl icts that continue today. “Since we achieved independence in 1948, there never has been a time when we could claim that all the country was at peace,” Suu Kyi said in her speech to the Peace Forum on Saturday. Suu Kyi attended Oxford University where she earned a bachelor’s degree in philosophy, politics and economics. Her productive life as an academic was interrupted when she was forced to return home after her mother suffered a stroke in March 1988. Her extended stay in the country coincided with the resignation of General Ne Win, who had ruled Burma since seizing power in a coup d’état in 1962. The resignation threw the nation into turmoil and led to protests by citizens. Suu Kyi decided to step in as an opposition leader, touring the country against the government’s wishes. She called for free, multi-
party elections while the military used force against citizens and ordered Suu Kyi into house arrest, where she remained until 1995. During the next two decades, Suu Kyi was reordered under house arrest three times. Despite the urging of junta officials that she leave the country, Suu Kyi remained, aware that she would not be allowed back in if she left. In 2011, Burma’s military regime announced that opposition parties would be allowed to contest a limited number of parliamentary seats. The following April, Suu Kyi, along with a handful of other NLD candidates, prevailed in their races. While they currently hold only a small fraction of the seats in parliament, their caucus represents the largest opposition force in the country’s legislative chamber since the establishment of the military government. While the political progress in Burma during the last few years has been hailed as a sign of progress, Suu Kyi maintained that her nation’s government has a long way to go before being truly democratic. “We have not been able to develop the trust and understanding necessary to remove the causes of conf lict,” she told Rotary’s Peace Forum. e

Nainoa Thompson studied wayfinding under Mau Piailug, a master navigator from the island of Satawal in Micronesia. NICOLYN C HARLOT Associate Features Editor This past weekend, University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa alumnus and president of the Polynesian Voyaging Society Nainoa Thompson discussed his plans for peace, environmental preservation and the future of navigation at the Rotary International Peace Forum. The journeys undertaken by the voyaging canoe Hōkūle‘a have allowed Thompson and his crew to interact with many cultures around the Pacific. However, this led them to wonder what they should focus on next, and they realized that future generations were most crucial. Thus, Thompson and other navigators decided to go on a three-and-a-half year voyage around the world to visit different cultures across the globe.
F U T U R E P R E S E RVAT I O N Thompson emphasized the importance of children in maintaining a sustainable future. He hopes to educate youth around the world and inspire them to love and protect the environment. He will also teach those on board ancient navigation techniques that have been passed down for generations and need preservation. Thompson said that 40 percent of
the crew must be under the age of 30, so it is certain that there will be young people left to teach. “The need to turn over leadership is vital; that succession of leadership is crucial to the ability for us to maintain and strengthen our values,” Thompson said. There are hopes that 30 percent of the crew will be educators who will be able to share the knowledge they learn on the voyage with their students. “An outreach teacher, in a lifetime, might reach 3,000 kids,” fellow navigator Jenna Ishii said. “So if we can inspire one teacher to have that love to care for the earth, then maybe that’s our way forward.”
MAKING CONNECTIONS The Hōkūle‘a voyage will go through 22 of the 46 marine world heritage sites, and crewmembers will talk to people about what they are doing to preserve their oceans. “We can’t save the oceans by ourselves, but what we’re going to do is support the people who are saving the oceans and doing the work for us. … We want to know what other people around the world are doing to perpetuate their voyaging tradition, their seafaring tradition and how they connect to the ocean,” Ishii said. Hōkūle‘a will be accompanied by an escort boat, Hikianalia, to
ensure the crew’s safety because there isn’t any modern technology on Hōkūle‘a. Hikianalia is powered by solar panels, wind and electric engines. It is larger than Hōkūle‘a and equipped with technology to help with navigation and to keep in contact with the outside world. Hikianalia’s eco-friendliness is representative of the overall mission to preserve the environment.
A VOYAG E O F P E AC E The mission that Thompson wants to complete with his voyage is to educate future generations, preserve the environment and collaborate with other organizations that support the same cause. The Rotary Club became involved when the Hōkūle‘a was being strengthened for its long journey. Many Rotarians wanted to make the voyage more than just a trip around the globe – they wanted it to mean something. Thus, the Rotary Club decided to help by getting the Hōkūle‘a crew in touch with people at the locations they are visiting to further spread their message of peace. “We needed the community to rebuild Hōkūle‘a, but what happened was Hōkūle‘a rebuilt the community. ... We’re stronger than we’ve ever been,” Thompson said.
To be honest, there is no J.J. Dolan. There’s a J.J. and there’s a Dolan, but that’s another story. The important thing to know is that we serve up
damn good handcrafted pizza & hand-poured drinks at one of the finest establishments in Chinatown.

PARAMOUNT PICTURES / MCT
JOSEPH H AN Associate Chief Copy Editor While Oscar contenders have their time in December – sticking around in theaters and some making reappearances for more audience attention this year – studios release fi lms like “Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters” to take advantage of the slow box office weekend. Following in the soon to be hackneyed tradition of adapting fairy tales like “Snow White and the Huntsmen” (and the upcoming “Jack the Giant Slayer”), this fi lm fails to innovate and spoofs the source material, indulging in its own lack of seriousness to the point of boredom. Having escaped from and killed a witch during their traumatic childhood, Hansel ( Jeremy Renner) and Gretel (Gemma A rterton) turn their woes into a vocation for killing witches. Don’t expect a deep psycho -
logical investigation into their motives and desires to hunt – it ’s just what they do. They are most needed in a village where children have been disappearing, and the majority of the film chronicles their investigations and confrontations against make-up -laden witches. Renner dumbs down from other roles (“Hurt L ocker”, “ The Town”), and hopefully his paycheck will allow him to star in better films. Other than shouting each other’s names and standing next to one another with weapons slung across their shoulders to convey a sibling relationship, co -star A rterton doesn’t pair well with Renner to make a compelling duo. Famke Janssen plays the big bad witch Muriel with a plan for immortality, which requires sacrificing children on a blood moon and a secret ingredient that reveals the answer to the siblings’
mysterious backstory. Hansel prefers to ignore their past, but the revelation isn’t surprising. Fights are lost, heads are decapitated and crushed and a final confrontation with lots of bullets and death serves as the not-so-exciting climax. For a film that ’s rather short in runtime, the predictable plot and violence drag along. An amusing joke with Hansel involves an insulin shot that he has to periodically take because he ate so much candy as a kid. In this way, the film is just like the witch’s house: Something that promises to satisfy through overabundance but cages and leaves you feeling sick. It’ll be difficult to recover from unless the antidote is avoiding this film and seeing another movie altogether.

Nomophobia Fear of not having your cellphone VERONICA F REEMAN Contributing Writer The world is infatuated with technology, and while it was once only for wealthy adults, there are now kindergarteners with educational tablets that look like iPads. All it takes is a trip to an electronics store to realize the change: Specially made “child-proof” cases for tablets and kid-themed smartphone cases that appeal to eight year olds are available almost everywhere. A study conducted in September 2012 predicted, “By the time Ohio University’s class of 2016 graduates, about 90 percent of college students in the country will own a smartphone.” With social media tools such as Twitter, Instagram and Facebook supplementing texting, phone calls and email updates, phones are important in students’ lives. Despite this infi ltration of technology into daily life, smartphone usage in class have different rules depending on the teacher and the course, and it has become an issue between professors and students that needs to be addressed.
AC A D E M I C I N C O N S I S T E N C Y The eMarketer reported, “This year, it is expected that in the U.S., smartphone users will spend 23 billion minutes each month on the mobile web.” At Ball State University in Indiana, a recent survey showed the use of smartphones among college students rising from 29 percent in 2009 to 69 percent in 2011. Smartphones have become “immediate fact checkers,” according to New York University Professor Aria Finger. As the world adapts to updating technology, a failure to adapt is clear in the confines of the classroom. In this setting, it is often up to the discretion of the professor whether to allow students to use their mobile phones, but more often than not this is banned. Still, there are mixed messages. An increasing number of students have constant Internet access in classrooms across America, giving them the ability to look up class announcements and reference works. Although rules that prohibit phones are emphasized at the beginning of the semester, instructors themselves are sometimes lenient when they ask students to look up defi nitions or pull up paper drafts.

LEVI VILORIA / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
According to a Pew Research study last year, more than 200 million Americans own mobile phones.
Even with all the benefits of smartphones, they are an easy distractions for the bored student. “If you have 150 kids in a class, there will be some kids zoning out,” Finger said. “You don’t want an entire class of … students looking in their laps [at their phones].” Vassilis Dalakas, a marketing professor at California State University-San Marcos, agreed: “I used to think that [the students] are adults and they can make their own choices. But it got to the point of being distracting, not only to the person using it but to multiple people in the classroom.” The University of Hawai‘i has no campus-wide cellphone rule other than restricting their use in the libraries. As a smartphone user myself, I fi nd that I’m easily distracted in class by Instagram and text messages, but I’ve found that if I am eager enough to learn, I’ll put my phone away. Perhaps this kind of behavior singles out those who are willing to learn the material and are thereby more likely to pass the class in the long run. However, a campus-wide policy should be instated to eliminate any confusion between professor and student, similar to the policy on plagiarism. Students need to know exactly where they stand and what the consequences will be for their actions, instead of having to fi gure it out on their own with every class they take.

‘Stand’ing above the competition JOEY R AMIREZ Sports Editor It has been a shaky year for the Rainbow Warrior basketball team (11-9, 5-4 Big West), and no player exemplifies that more than junior forward Christian Standhardinger. The 6-foot-8-inch transfer has put together many of the University of Hawai‘i’s memorable performances this year. However, he has struggled to provide encore performances. Standhardinger scored 27 points in the season opener against Maryland-Eastern Shore. The next game he scored 11. He shot 8-of-10 from the field versus East Tennessee State and followed up with a 3-of-11 mark against Ole Miss. The German had 13 rebounds in UH’s victory against UC Irvine, but just three in the ensuing loss to Long Beach State. “I’m always going to the offensive glass and defensive glass every single possession,” Standhardinger said. “If I come up with it because it flies in my hands 16 times like last game, I’m happy and everybody says, ‘Wow,
he’s an amazing rebounder. Why doesn’t he do that every game?’ “In some other games, the other team may get hot and make everything or we make everything or that ball doesn’t fly in my direction,” he said. “Then I come up with five rebounds, and people say, ‘Well, he didn’t even rebound at all.’ I’m consistent in the terms that if you watch the tape, I’m going to every single rebound.”
C O N S I S T E N T WO R K As Hawai‘i prepares to face UC Riverside (5-15, 2-6 BWC), Standhardinger has a new opportunity. The Nebraska transfer dominated in UH’s 78-73 victory against UC Santa Barbara last Saturday as he set new careerhighs with 31 points and 16 rebounds. “It’s about winning,” Standhardinger said. “We all knew that we really needed that win, and I just tried everything I can do to win the game. … It was easier than it seems because I got such amazing teammates and we played amazing defense. I don’t want to even mention
stats because if you just watch the game, you just see how everybody’s all in and goes hard.” After dismantling UCSB, Standhardinger now resides in the Big West’s top ten in scoring (14.7 ppg, 10th), rebounding (7.3 rpg, seventh), steals (1.3 spg, 10th) and shooting (48.6 percent, 10th). “It’s easy to work hard for a week,” Standhardinger said. “But it’s very hard to work hard for four months. In the middle of the season, when it [gets] tough and you get worn out, I just keep working hard and keep working on my shots, and I’m happy that I could help my team with a performance like that.
