UH astronomer aids in discovery of Earth-like planet ERENIA T. M ICHELL Senior Staff Writer
Astronomers, including University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s Nader Haghighipour, could say the stars were aligned for them when they recently discovered a planet with the capability to hold liquid water, similar to Earth. The planet was discovered on Sept. 29 with the use of telescopes at the W.M Keck Observatory on the Big Island of Hawai‘i. Haghighipour, an associate astronomer at the Institute of Astronomy here at UHM, worked with a team of scientists from themainland. Steven Vogt from University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) and Paul Butler of the Carnegie Institution of Washington led the team. Others included UCSC associate research scientist Eugenio Rivera, and Gregory Henry and Michael Williamson of Tennessee State University. The team met up about every two to three months on the Big Island when they were granted time to do their research

The discovery of this new planet was made possible by the W.M. Keck Observatory, located on Mauna Kea, Hawai‘i. at the Keck facilities in Waimea. The team announced that the planet, nicknamed “g,” is of Earthlike size, and is orbiting a nearby star, named “Gliese 581,” at a distance that places it in the star’s “habitable zone.” This habitable zone means it can hold liquid water on its surface,similar to Earth. This also means that it can be
considered a “potentially habitable” planet. According to Haghighipour, habitability depends on many factors, such as fi nding planets with the same mass, size and surface temperature as Earth. Finding a planet with liquid water and an atmosphere are among the most important elements. “We have not seen many of
these planets. We do not have this technology. We use our computers and models to represent what we see,” said Haghighipour. “What we can say is that it’s similar to Earth, it is not unlikely for the planet to have the potential for life on Earth.” What is Haghighipour’s guess for finding more potentially habitable planets?
“It is really hard (to say). The conditions require many things. Current technology can’t answer that. The discovery of this one (planet) shows that our strategy was successful on focusing on small stars and planets. I’m reluctant to put down a percent- it would not hold any scientific value,” said Haghighipour. With the discovery of planet “g,” Haghighipour says this has been the biggest breakthrough in his area. He and his team are reluctant to pronounce this as the “first habitable planet,”however, and that they haven’t discovered a planet with aliens. “It’s just a planet with the capabilities to hold liquid water, and is similar to Earth,” said Haghighipour. “Stars like our sun are in (the) billions out in the galaxy. Many of them have planets like our solar system. In the context of our galaxy, billions of galaxies are out there - we can just imagine how much out there is like our own,” said Haghighipour. “Compared to what is out there, we are just a tiny, tiny spot.”

Peace felt project creates international connections LYNN NAK AGAWA News Editor
To participate in International Peace Week, Art 238 students created felted artwork to send to New Jersey and received artwork from the Netherlands. In addition to learning felting techniques, students of the ďŹ bers class researched and learned more about the communities they came in contact with. “The students (created) ‘tools’ for peace, using this as an opportunity to share experiences in Hawai‘i with our national and international partners while learning about other communities,â€? said Mary Babcock, assistant art professor and ďŹ bers chair. The artwork they sent to New Jersey resembled tools. Emily Sewell, a third-year ďŹ bers student enjoyed participating in the project. “Felting can be paralleled to peace making,â€? said Sewell. “Similar to peace making, it takes a lot of time and effort to make the pieces. “The project made me more aware of what an artist can say as a world statement. It’s good for the art
community to be exposed to different aspects of art, and this was a good way

town called Loppersum. Babcock said they received a book of felt artworks from the group of peace artists as well as unexpected surprise cookies. “The cookies went over really well; we basically got a care package,� said Babcock. The students sent back macadamia nuts. The information the class sent to their peace partners included topics such as the value of Hawai‘i, what ho’oponopono is, and a description of ancient healing traditions of Hawai‘i. “(The project) seemed to really bring people up to be creative and work with one another. Because it was a gift, there was a different care that was put into the ideas and creation of the piece,� said Babcock. Sewell agreed that it was good to give back instead of creating artwork for herself. The mission of the Peace Felt 2010 project is to “promote peace and connectivity among nations, loving kindness among individuals, and gratitude in our hearts and our consciousness.� The exchange was conducted in conjunction with International Day of Peace on Sept. 21.

Fair offers students involvement options C HRISTA BALINGIT Contributing Writer
The annual Student Involvement Fair provides students with information about various extracurricular organizations and the opportunity to become more involved. “Getting involved in your community is very beneďŹ cial. It helps you connect. It helps you succeed academically. It opens you up to resources. When getting hired, employers will hire people they already know,â€? said graduate student Michelle White, who is an educational administrations major working to help set up the fair. “It helped me feel connected. I’ve gotten to know people I hope to work with someday,â€? she continued. White interns at the Student Life and Development OfďŹ ce (SLDO) and has beneďŹ ted from her attendance at previous years’ fairs. Sponsored by the SLDO, Chartered Student Organizations (CSOs), and Registered Independent Organizations (RIOs),
the fair is designed to recruit students in a fun atmosphere. Expect music, food and prizes for students interested in joining one of the many organizations the University of Hawai‘i at MÄ noa has to offer. There are currently six CSOs on campus, including the Associated Students of the University of Hawai‘i, Board of Publications, Broadcast Community Authority, Graduate Student Organization, Campus Board Center, and the Student Activity and Program Fee Board. Student fees help to support these six organizations, so students are strongly encouraged to participate. CSOs and RIOs will be available during the fair to explain what they have to offer. Currently there are more than 200 active RIOs that provide leadership, public service, and activism opportunities for students wishing to become more involved. There are also organizations involving religion, ethnicity, culture, service, academics, advocacy, sports
and social activites. Student Life Services Associate Mike Kockler, who is in charge of putting the fair together, highly encourages students to get involved in the community. “I would like to see as many students as possible get involved. We wish to create the awareness of the different things that happen on campus,â€? Kockler said. “The fair gives them an opportunity to participate in organizations where students can personally beneďŹ t as well as serve others.â€? Students who wish to pursue certain interests will ďŹ nd the Student Involvement Fair a good place to do just that. If a student can’t ďŹ nd an organization that interests them, they are welcome to start a new organization.

Gothic whimsies and dangerous doodles abound in ‘Musings of Mystery’ JUSTIN NICHOLSON Staff Writer The University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Art Gallery is currently showcasing works by the king of doodling, Edward Gorey (1925-2000). This exhibit is a must-see for anyone that has a tendency to sketch random objects on a notebook when spacing out. Be careful when looking closely at the textures Gorey creates with a pen, because you will realize what is achieveable during your professors’ lectures, and you might never tune out an instructor again. Gorey illustrates strange-looking people, animals (especially cats), odd creatures that he makes up, and gothic images of subjects

in perilous situations. These drawings are usually accompanied by a humorous or nonsensical caption that is said to mock Victorian writing. He is known as an illustrator more than a writer, but there is something to be said for his ability to make eerie images appear funny in very few words. An international audience celebrates Gorey’s legacy; his works are available in 15 languages. He is in a rare class of artists that is able to appeal to many demographics — from children to rock stars. Gorey’s influence on music ranges from writing lyrics and designing an album cover for the punk rock band The Freeze, to collaborating with the London-

based cabaret band The Tiger Lillies on the Grammy-nominated album “Gorey End.” A Gorey cult following exists in the gothic music scene, and the jazz composer Michael Mantler wrote musical adaptations of Gorey works for one of his albums. There are many artifacts from Gorey’s diverse portfolio at the UH Art Gallery: posters from the 1977 revival of the play “Dracula” (where Gorey worked as the costume and set designer), Gorey’s hand-stitched dolls of his creatures, the animated intro to the PBS series “Mystery!“ and hundreds of illustrations. Gorey’s body of work inspires multiple art forms. All age groups adore it, and many cultures appreciate it. Anything so universally liked must contain some sort of universal truth.

Capturing the waves: the photography of Colin McGillivray H AIYA SARWAR Staff Writer Bodyboarder Colin McGillivray decided to turn his love for the ocean into a career of artwork. “I actually started to get into photography in high school; it was around the time when I first started bodyboarding. I thought it was crazy to be able to capture pictures of waves,” said McGillivray. A 20 09 Universit y of Hawai‘i at Mānoa graduate, McGillivray discovered his passion for photography in
high school. Inspired by bodyboarding, he began his journey to capture the beaut y of what he experienced in the waves. “I realized that no one wave is ever the same, and to capture that particular moment in time, with all of the ocean’s power and beauty, was what I wanted to do,” he stated. “I started out just shooting here and there and only really shot from land; it wasn’t until I got into college that I broke my bank and went all out into water photography.” Looking through his collection, his passion for the sea is
evident. He has created mesmerizing shots capturing the magic of waves and wave-rider culture. In fact , the photos t ake indepth r isks both literally and f ig urat ively. His photos indi cate a deeper underst anding of the sea, because they cap t ure perspect ives that only an exper t could see. “The purpose of my photography is to be able to capture moments in time that never occur again,” McGillivray explained. “To see that one barreling clean wave just breaking perfect for that split second, and then poof,
it’s gone, never to occur again in the same manner - to capture that moment in time and be able to share it with not only people that are familiar with the ocean but the general public. Being able to show everyone the beauty that is all around us in Hawai‘i that sometimes is seldom thought about or seen is amazing.” Though McGillivray’s main focus may initially appear to revolve around waves and wave riders, this action photographer’s passion for taking pictures follows him wherever he goes. His works range from a vari-
ety of sports to a variety of people. While at UH, McGillivray shot a range of unique and emotional sports photos for Ka Leo. His talent and disposition for capturing unforgettable images are evident in every photo he takes. But as the photographer said, “I think that photography is about constantly learning. Even if you think you know it all, there is still some other angle or technique that is just waiting to be learned.” Check out McGillivray’s collection at: http://www.colinmcgillivray.com/

WEDNESDAY, OCT. 6, 2010 Ansel Adams once said that “A photograph is usually looked at - seldom looked into.” What you hold in your hands is a collection of stories, ideas, beliefs, perspectives, feelings, thoughts and memories from some of Ka Leo’s staff photographers. While I have asked each of them to present and interpret their photos, I believe, as my grandfather once said, “A good photograph speaks for itself.” Each photograph will “say” something different to each person, and that’s the awesome thing about photos and art in general -- the experience is different each time you view it. While we as the photographers may do our best to portray what we see, or “hear” at the moment, it could be interpreted very differently by someone else. So I encourage you, viewer, to not just look at the photographs in this Visual Issue, but look into them, and to listen to what each photograph has to say.

WEDNESDAY, OCT. 6, 2010 “Yellow fish” I spotted this Commerson’s Frogfish at Kahe Point, O’ahu the first week of September. I was diving down to get a closer look at what I thought was the brightest yellow coral I had ever seen, but to my surprise, the yellow coral turned out to be a frogfish. Frogfish are barely recognized as fish. Most snorkelers pass them over without a second glance, believing them to be rocks or coral. I can’t imagine the number of times this has happened to me.

“The Orange Cowrie” After waking up for a sunrise snorkel, I was surprised to find a multitude of Flamingo Tongue Snails right on the reef behind the resort in Grand Cayman. The orange and black on the shell is actually part of the snail. I didn’t realize this until I touched one and the orange and black spots retreated into the shell! The shell itself is white with a tinge of orange and resembles a cowrie shell.

12 M AY SALCEDO Contributing Writer From the direction of the bowl to the angle of your hand, the tea ceremony involves rituals that implement precise execution of each movement. The washing and wiping of the bowl has a stepby-step procedure and is done according to tradition during the Japanese tea ceremony. Diane Chen, a student involved with the tea club, explained a few exceptions. “Once you get past the stepwise fashion, there’s room for artistic expression,” she said. Before the tea is offered, sweet desserts are usually eaten to counteract the bitter flavor of the tea, so that both flavors merge harmoniously on the palate. The host never faces the guests during the preparation; instead, the host looks to the garden outside. Even the guests must sit perfectly still in toe-numbing positions on tatami mats. Self-discipline is required to remain seated the entire time while watching the host prepare tea. “Ichigo ichie” or “one time,

quette. Thin tea is taken from the top leaves of the tea plant and has a slightly powdered consistency that is weaker in fl avor than thick tea. Thin tea is served at afterparties and social events that promote conversation but still require tea-ceremony etiquette. The Japanese Garden is tucked away behind the East-West Imin Center. Walk down the stone-paved pathway and you’ll find yourself at a cottage tucked behind green flora. Cristina Giesse, a teaching assistant for the tea class and active member of the club since fall of last semester, said that the cottage was purposely built there because tea-houses are always built away from houses and other buildings so that one can get away from the “dirty world.” “There’s a lot of aesthetic appreciation going on at the moment,” said Giesse, during a practice tea ceremony. In addition to weekly tea ceremony practices, the club pairs up with the Japanese Cultural Center at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
to serve tea-lovers from Japan at an event called the Summer Seminar. The club also holds a tea ceremony for New Years called “Joyagama.” This event is by invitation only and the students prepare and serve thin tea. Following the event is the Jan. 12 ceremony called “Hatsudatte” or “fi rst tea serving,” where thin tea is served to guests who come back after the Joyagama. Classes are also offered for credit and provide in-depth analysis of culture and history through the practice of tea.

Gender roles of empowered women A RIEL MONISMITH Contributing Writer In the eyes of society, a woman who tries to seize power for herself is dangerous. Our society still has gender expectations, and instead of being serious contenders in the realms of business and politics, women are often objectified. Despite the advancement of women’s rights and perception that women and men are equal, women still do not receive equal pay for the same work, are the primary victims of gender violence and sexual assault, and are objectified by the media to no end. Of course, there are women who become powerful and successful due to their intellect and work ethic. However, women who assume the responsibilities associated with a power position are monitored more closely than men. The expectations of these women are to act in a more “masculine” manner. For example, when Hillary
Clinton ran in the Democratic Party’s presidential primary in 2008, she received a disproportionate amount of media attention regarding on gender. Some worried that as a woman, she might be too “emotional” to be an effective leader. In terms of visual appearance, the less-feminine aesthetic adopted by Clinton, as well as many women in politics, was commented on. Many constituents thought she was a “bitch” or a “dyke,” simply because of her short hair and pantsuits. What those constituents did not seem to realize is that whether or not anyone will admit it, a woman is forced to assume a more masculine image in order to be taken seriously. Will anyone take a woman in a sundress with perfectly coiffed hair seriously if she walks into a boardroom meeting? My guess would be that the members of the board would start making coffee requests. “Legally Blonde” tells the story of a “girly girl” attending

law school in fluorescent pink outfits with a miniature Chihuahua in her purse. The character, Elle Woods’ exaggerated, stereotypical feminine mannerisms demonstrate how ridiculous it truly seems in the eyes of society for a woman to be a part of such a traditionally mascu-
line institution. Elle Woods and Hillary Clinton both exemplify women who are no less capable, and no less deserving of respect than their male counterparts. The more feminine woman is ridiculous for attempting to be taken seriously, and the less femi-
nine woman still comes off as too harsh to be trusted. Theoretically, society has embraced feminist principles of equality, but in practice, a woman must downplay her gender in order to even have a fighting chance in traditionally male-dominated arenas.
Hillary Clinton is an example of an empowered woman being in the spotlight due to her gender. NRBELEX FLICKR
