Search under way for next astronomy director
COURTESY OF UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I
Gunther Hasinger, Robert McLaren, and Andrew Lawrence are the candidates for director of the University of Hawai‘i’s Institute for Astronomy (IFA). Information on each candidate is available at http://www.hawaii.edu/executivesearch/ifa/. JANE CALLAHAN Associate News Editor The search is under way to fi nd a new director at the University of Hawai‘i’s Institute for Astronomy (IFA). The three candidates vying for the position are from the international scientifi c and academic communities. This month they will take part in separate four-day visits to learn about the IFA facilities on O‘ahu, Maui and the Big Island, and will meet with various faculty, students, and community members.

The candidates are Dr. Gunther Hasinger, Dr. Robert McLaren, and Dr. Andrew Lawrence. “The position of the IFA Director is one of the most attractive positions in worldwide astronomy,” said Dr. Rolf-Peter Kudritzki, the current IFA director who is scheduled to resign on Dec. 31 after a decade in the position. The university created a search committee for the candidates, headed by Ian Taylor, Dean of the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology. Each candidate will hold a presentation which is open to the general public, students, and
faculty, and will take place in the IFA Auditorium. The presentations began Aug. 2 and are scheduled through Aug. 16. “(The purpose of the presentations is) to give some background on themselves, discuss their current research, the positions they’ve held, how they view the scientifi c landscape in the field of astronomy, as well as their vision for the future of the institute,” said Taylor. Taylor stated that the candidates will meet with many members of the UH community, including students, staff, administration and people from Maui and the Big Island. They will also meet with people from the community and representatives of the Mauna Kea management board. The complex and rigorous aspects of the audition “reflect the reality of the position and the responsibilities of the job,” said Taylor. While the number of total applicants remains confidential, four finalists were in contention for the position last week. The pool narrowed down to three after one candidate withdrew, for reasons on which the department wished not to comment.
T H E C A N D I DAT E S The candidates come from various academic and cultural backgrounds. Dr. Gunther Hasinger, whose open presenta-
tion took place on Aug. 2, is the scientifi c director at the Max Planck Institute of Plasma Physics in Germany. Dr. Robert McLaren is from the University of Hawai‘i, and is the Associate Director for IFA. His presentation is scheduled for Aug. 12. The third candidate, Dr. Andrew Lawrence, is the Regius Professor of Astronomy at the University of Edinburgh Institute for Astronomy for the Royal Observatory in Scotland. His presentation will take place on Aug. 16. UHM faculty referred to distinguished individuals in the scientific and academic community to recommend candidates. The position requires management of 200 staff and over 45 faculty members, educates over 800 students a year, has a $20 million annual budget and works with the government. In addition, the UH observatories will get two new, highly powerful telescopes. The search committee will receive feedback from people who meet with the candidates. Ultimately, the search committee makes a recommendation to the Vice Chancellor for Research in graduate education. “It’s not a vote; it’s a discussion between vice chancellor and the search committee, which looks at the strength and weaknesses
of the candidates,” said Taylor. The decision is based upon the scope of the analysis. Sarah Jaeggli, a graduate student in astronomy, talked about what she expects of the new director. “I would like to see the new director continue the work that (Dr. Kudritzki) has started, addressing the concerns of the community and getting local talent involved in the projects as much as possible.” Jaeggli continued, “When they are up and running, these (new) telescopes will make discoveries about the sun and the universe that we cannot even imagine, and everyone should be proud of that.”
L E GAC Y
Kudritzki’s tenure as director left behind several notable contributions to UH and the scientifi c community. “The institute has doubled in the number of employees and in extramural funding, has strongly improved the graduate program, the undergraduate teaching and the public education and outreach activities and we have succeeded to bring the largest and most important telescope projects to Hawai‘i,” commented Kudritzki, of the past decade’s developments. “IFA is in excellent shape,” he noted, “and has a fantastic future ahead.”

KA LEO O HAWAI‘I ANNOUNCES A SPECIAL ADVANCE SCREENING Wednesday, August 18 • 7:00 pm Ward 16 Theatres
ERENIA M ICHELL Senior Staff Writer The Student Activity Program Fee Board (SAPFB) at UHM is seeking to increase the current SAPFB fee because maintaining campus groups and activities has become more expensive. SA PFB will appear in front of various Chartered Student Organizations (CSOs) including the Associated Students of the University of Hawaiʻi (ASUH), Board of Publications ( BOP), and Campus Center Board (CCB) to discuss and seek sup port for the proposal. This Wednesday, SA PFB will meet with ASUH at their board meeting asking to increase the current student fee that funds campus groups and activities. Currently, UHM students pay a SA PFB fee of $2.70 per semester, a fee that has been in place since 1978. With an increase in the number of clubs on campus, not all clubs can re ceive money. The SA PFB would like to be able to fund all clubs at UHM that apply. SAPFB is proposing to increase the student fee to $11 a semester, an amount that was determined from working group meetings with departments, department chairs, and other representatives, while also considering the previous funding requests. According to SAPFB Chair Liana Kobayashi, the number came after lengthy meetings, and was
considerably less than what departments were actually requesting. “Our fee has been $2.70 since 1978, and we’ve never proposed an increase,” said Kobayashi. “Actually, it had dropped because previously it used to be $4.50, and it dropped to $2.70, which it has stayed at since ’78,” she continued. “The reason why we want to increase it is because we’ve been getting an increasing amount of applicants, and also we’ve had a few different working group meetings with faculty and staff from different resources and departments, such as theater, music, band, and art, so they come forward with numbers for us where they basically consider what they need in order to keep their departments functioning,” she said. “Originally the athletic department had approached us (to be incorporated in the fee), but we later found out that they were pushing forward with their own fee, which as you know did go through, so that’s why we removed them from our proposal,” she continued. Kobayashi said that the increase is to help support student organizations that have been repeatedly denied by the SAPFB, even though their programs were worthy and would have greatly enhanced campus life. “We just don’t have the funding to be able to help support them. Our budget is a lot less than ASUH, and we also fund graduate student organizations who don’t have any other funding
source,” she said. The proposed increase in student fees would go into effect in Spring 2011, pending approval. SAPFB is also hoping to receive support from CSOs. “I have contacted the different CSOs on campus and I’m trying to present at all their meetings, because we don’t want to proceed with this if we don’t have the support of the other leaders on campus, as well as with the student population in general,” said Kobayashi. Kobayashi will be presenting in front of ASUH this Wednesday, CCB on Aug. 23, GSO later this month, and the BOP at the end of September. The proposal comes at a difficult economic time, but the SA PFB firmly believes that much can be accomplished with sufficient funding. Students involved in campus clubs and activities know how important, and how far, a little money can take them. Jessica Yuen, a UHM student, is a member of numerous clubs, including the Pre-Med Association, the Regents and Presidential Scholars, and Mānoa Trailblazers. Yuen said that the increase is defi nitely necessary. “In the past it’s only been $2.70, while the other fees are much higher.” She adds that the clubs she’s involved in rely on funding from ASUH, fundraisers, club dues, and SAPFB. “I really like the goals of SAPFB, it helps us get money back to the clubs and it’s for a good cause,” commented Yuen.

On Saturday, Aug. 21, the series ends with a show by Ballet Hawaii, which dances to music ranging from Bach to Gershwin in a display of American dance. Arts & Minds is a program involving several core departments, including art, music, dance, and the Outreach College. Different art departments take turns hosting international talent with the goal of promoting cultural knowledge. Outside departments, such as architecture or language, also act in collaboration when applicable. A component of Arts & Minds, “Intersections,” brings from one to three scholars per semester, where the masters of trade hold public lectures, host workshops and critique student work. Making this possible is no easy task; the best artists come with high salaries. The faculty members of

The Keiko Fujii Dance Company will be performing Hana on Sunday, Aug. 15. the participating departments fundraise to facilitate the shows. “We have a $120,000 annual budget, which is meant to cover
everything from airfare, fee, and accommodations,” said Chan. However, things may change. “The arts department has been working with the student representatives to raise the fee from $3 to $12. That fee will be divided within the arts department to support programming and allow more money to go to programming that is organized by the students themselves.” “Right now we are soliciting feedback from students (about this proposal),” said Chan. She added that in the big picture, the increase in fee is not a huge difference. “It’s like what three espressos or two lattes cost.” In addition to more performances, the raised fee would also allow students free access to the shows. Tickets are $25 in advance, $30 at the door. For more information call 956 -8246.

Gays win this round C HRIS M IKESELL Opinions Editor
Late in the morning of Aug. 4, Zach Tepper’s phone brought him the news he had been waiting for: California’s Proposition 8 was deemed unconstitutional. Tepper, along with his colleagues at the LGBT Student Ser vices Center – found themselves one Tweet closer to full equality. “I felt really moved because I knew that when Prop 8 was passed, it really hurt,” said the 20 -year-old women’s studies major. Tepper had mixed feelings that night in Nov. 2008 when he found out that Propositon 8 had passed, because he was hopeful that the advent of President Obama would change things. “It was hard to understand how you could be so hopeful for these promises of change and then the same day have something so seemingly prehistoric,” said Tepper. “It seemed like an ancient decision.” Tepper noted that he has a lot of LGBT friends in California that were personally affected by Proposition 8, and he’s hopeful that the federal judge’s decision will be upheld. “We shouldn’t even have to decide if everyone should have civil rights,” said Tepper. “It’s a right for a reason. It’s not a privilege. It’s a fundamental human right to be able to love and let your love be validated and recognized within the state or government that you live in.”
O N T H E F RO N T L I N E S James Kendall, a 29-year-old web designer, and Bill Stivers, a 35-yearold systems administrator at the University of California Santa Cruz, make up two halves of one of the couples af-
California Federal Judge Vaughn Walker’s ruling striking down Proposition 8 as unconstitutional has reverberated across the gay community. But what does this partial victory really mean for the LGBT community in Hawaiʻi and California when it seems equality is still so far away? “I’m prepared to have my marriage annulled again,” Stivers said. “I’m prepared to have to go back and get married again. I believe that rationality will prevail. It could take fi ve or 50 years, but we’ll get there in time.” Part of getting married, Stivers explained, is wanting the same values that straight people want when they get married. “The kind of gay person who wants to get married is making an investment in society,” said Stivers. “Why would anyone want to discourage that?” And to Kendall, like many other gay men and women who want to get married, there is a palpable difference between being married and not being married. ”Before marriage, it was just the two of us. We kept each other afloat and above the water,” explained Kendall. “After marriage, the seas still storm, but we stand together. We’re safe. We’re stable. We hold each other because we want to, not because we need to to survive.”

fected by the fight over gay marriage rights in California. They fi rst married in 2004 when San Francisco’s mayor issued marriage licenses to gay and lesbian couples that February, but that marriage was invalidated by the California Supreme Court in August of that year. “We’d honestly expected the courts to put a stop to it the very next day,” said Kendall. “When they
didn’t, we got that glimmer of hope that maybe they’d actually rule in our favor. It wasn’t a big one, but it was still there. It was a blow to have that taken away after having that piece of paper for a few months.” When they found out about Judge Walker’s ruling, it was yet another twist in the rollercoaster track to civil rights. “We had it just long enough to know what we were fighting for,”
Kendall explained. Kendall and Stivers remarried in 2008 the day it was legalized, but there was always that fear – realized when Proposition 8 was passed – that their marriage could be annulled again at any time. Stivers found out about the ruling through a text from his husband. He’s hopeful as well, but he knows there could be more twists ahead In the fi ght for equality.
nah Miyamoto couldn’t react to that morning’s Tweets right away – she was busy teaching her 300-level Sociology of Gender class. But Miyamoto found that what she learned from the ruling would be eye-opening for her students. “Overall, ( Judge Walker’s) ruling is very much based on facts as opposed to conclusions of law,” she explained. That dependence on findings of fact as opposed to law, she said, means
that the Ninth Circuit Appellate Court will have a difficult time overturning the ruling. “Appellate courts can overturn fi ndings of law that they don’t agree with,” she
With substantive due process, even if they’re not equal, there isn’t an impact on the general public that would justify discrimination.” The backbone of this ruling, Miyamoto explained, is that these
Marriage does not mean acceptance fastest scenario, if the Ninth Circuit affirms the decision and the Supreme Court refuses to grant it a hearing, she expects the process to take at least another year. A lot can happen in a year, especially with a new governor. “Based on our history of civil rights, I actually do expect a period of resistance to judicially-declared equality,” said Miyamoto. “Our governor could, in fact, be promoting a resistance to it. It’s the moral equivalent of standing in
“Proposition 8 fails to advance any rational basis in singling out gay men and lesbians for denial of a marriage license. Indeed, the evidence shows Proposition 8 does nothing more than enshrine in the California Constitution the notion that opposite sex couples are superior to same-sex couples.” - Judge Vaughn Walker, Proposition 8 Ruling said. “But fi ndings of fact can only be overturned if they are found to be clearly erroneous. They have to be supported by the evidence on the record.” Miyamoto noted that the legal arguments of the case are based on two clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment – equal protection and due process – but that the latter is significantly easier to defend. “With equal protection, you have to prove that two people are substantially equal,” said Miyamoto. “But substantive due process says, ‘You know what, person A is, in fact, different from person B, but there’s no reason to discriminate against person A in favor of person B or vice versa.” Miyamoto points out that while segregation cases have traditionally focused on the equal protection clause, LGBT civil rights have a different focus. “In the case of equal protection, you’d have to prove that gays and straights are fundamentally equal.
are factual fi ndings supported by extensive testimony, in which both sides had the opportunity to call witnesses and question them openly. In the 138-page ruling, Judge Walker indicated that the plaintiff’s witnesses established factually that there was no substantive impact, which is what needed to be proven under the substantive due process clause.
H AWA IʻI I M PAC T But what may give people in the LGBT community in Hawaiʻi more hope is the possibility that the Proposition 8 decision could have a far-reaching impact - as far as Hawaiʻi or any other state in the Ninth Circuit. “For Hawaiʻi’s sake, if this decision is affirmed by the Ninth Circuit, it doesn’t have to be taken up by the Supreme Court,” she said. “In some ways, it would be better if it didn’t, because it would be faster.” Miyamoto says that under the

a schoolhouse door like Governor Faubus did in Little Rock, Ark., or (former Alabama) Governor Wallace grandstanding, saying ‘segregation now, segregation forever.’” But she also noted that if a governor sympathetic to civil unions were elected this year, the state could also file an amicus brief on behalf of gay marriage supporters, bringing up additional arguments to counteract Proposition 8’s defenders. That means that even with this victory, it’s still important to keep pushing even here in Hawaiʻi for civil rights for gays and lesbians. “We pushed for civil unions but we gave up our fight for the term ‘civil marriage,’” said Miyamoto. “But if we call it marriage, we know that’s it’s going to be marriage, and there will be no basis for discrimination.” “Don’t compromise. We’ve got a very strong hand. There’s just no reason to, as far as I’m concerned.”
ILLUSTRATION BY MATTHEW HELKER
L INDSY OGAWA Associate Opinions Editor Despite Federal Judge Vaughn Walker’s overturning of California’s Proposition 8, same-sex couples in other states and countries continue to struggle with human rights issues both from the government and its citizens. In 2010, Portugal, Iceland and Argentina legalized same-sex marriage. In 2009, Norway and Sweden did the same. And other countries, such as Netherlands, Canada and Spain have had legalized same-sex marriage for over fi ve years. However, every time a country approves or discusses same sex marriages, fundamentalists scream in pain as if attacked by one of Cupid’s jagged, poisonous arrows. This can be seen even in Hawaiʻi, where civil unions were vetoed in July. Ironically, the idea of marriage and love in this country bring notions of diamond rings and lovebirds. Yet in Senegal, 24 men were arrested at a party after officers found makeup, jewelry, and safe-sex materials in the house. In Madrid, two lesbians were violated in a restaurant, despite Spain having legalized same sex marriages in 2005. These incidents of violence then go further than talk of marriage. They enter a realm where it is okay to question humanity and allow hateful messages to continue to suppress, or even kill, those who stray from what is today considered the norm. While the possible overturn of Proposition 8 should be applauded, do not forget that there are a multitude of LGBT movements with varying agendas that go far beyond marriage. Do not forget about discrimination in employment, the abuse and killings of LGBTs, and lack of gay rights in the U.S. and internationally. Spain has showed that its legalization of same sex marriages did not end discrimination, but California’s bold move is a step towards acceptance and respect for all people.

Sophomore Skye Shimabukuru (Kaua‘i HS ‘09) is one of the candidates to fill a starting spot at forward for the Rainbow Wahine soccer team. RUSSELL TOLENTINO Sports Editor The Rainbow Wahine soccer team has high hopes for the year despite being picked sixth in the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) preseason poll. “We’re just going to take it as we’re the underdogs right now and basically we have nothing to lose,” senior midfielder Mari Punzal said. “Since we’re not expected to win, we’re just going to be that team that throws everyone off.” “Hopefully people underestimate us,” senior defender Chelsea Deptula said. “We can show them who we are as a team and how much we’ve grown the last couple years.” Last season, the ’Bows were 8-111 overall, 3-5 in WAC play and did not qualify for the WAC Tournament. “We knew we were going to be ranked low on our record from last year, so that wasn’t much of a shocker,” Punzal said.

However, Punzal and Deptula know what it’s like to be on top. In their freshman season in 2007, the team was 15-5-2, won the
the ‘Bows close the three-team round-robin tournament against the Wagner Seahawks at 5 p.m. Both matches are at the Waipio Peninsula Soccer Stadium and parking and admission is free. “We’re playing two difficult teams so it’ll test us from the getgo,” Punzal said. “We just want to come out strong.” The Rainbow Wahine lost eight seniors off of last season’s team including leading scorers Britta Bourne (10 goals) and Ambree Ako (7). The team has many players competing for the starting lineup, but the competition has been good for the team, according to Deptula. “There’s no set positions yet and everyone is still fi ghting for their spots,” Deptula said. “We have returnees that are battling and we have new people that are battling so it’s kind of going back and forth. But it’s good competition in practices because we push everyone to make them better.” The Tigers, who were 10-6-3
We knew what it was like to win the WAC and we want everyone to feel that feeling again... program’s first WAC title and made its first appearance in the NCAA Tournament. And like this year, the ’Bows were ranked low in the 2007 WAC preseason poll (fifth) before the season started, which keeps Punzal upbeat. “We knew what it was like to win the WAC and we want everyone to feel that feeling again,” Punzal said. “We’re due for another one ( WAC title) – that’s our main goal right now.” The team opens the season on Friday, Aug. 20, at 7 p.m. in the OHANA Hotels Resorts Shootout against the Pacific. On Sunday,
last season, have had the ’Bows’ record lately, notching one goal wins in 2008 (2-1) and 2009 (3-2). They return their top three leaders in goals in 2009 in junior Maricela Padilla (8 goals) and seniors Angelica Figueroa (6) and Kristina Wavomba (4). “We have friends that play on that team so it’s a fun rivalry. We’re all looking forward to it,” Deptula said. “Hopefully we’ll score some goals, keep the strong defense and we’re going to work together and focus on what we do each game.” Wagner was 3-13-3 last year and only scored 20 goals.
