World-renowned independent fi lm director John Sayles will be on campus this month to talk with students and give screen-ings of his fi lms. Sayles has made several unconventional fi lms about American history, sometimes showing the grittier side of America’s past. One example of this is in “Amigo,” a fi lm about the Philippine-American War, which will be screening at the Univer-sity of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. He puts a strong focus on relationships. “My main interest is making fi lms about people. ... I’m not interested in cinematic art,” Sayles said. Sayles is also the new Inouye Chairman of Democratic Ideals at UH. According to uhfoundation.org, “chair holders

are selected based on their commitment to democratic ideals and the importance of public life.” Sayles will be giving a num-ber of talks and screenings of his fi lms on campus this month. Sayles has worked under the control of a studio once dur-ing the making of “Baby, It’s You.” The director prefers to have complete control of his fi lms, funding many of them by writing scripts for sale and through grants, such as a MacAr-thur Foundation Genius Grant that he received in 1983. Sayles has talent at immersing himself in the environ-ment of the fi lms he makes while doing his research so that every detail in the fi lm is perfect.

Contributing Writer

Asia and the Pacifi c have long appeared in German culture, ever since Germany’s coloniza-tion of the Pacifi c in the 19th century. “At the end of World War II, Germany was forced to relinquish its colonies in the Pacifi c,” said Christina Gerhardt, assistant profes-sor of German at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa.“That’s a long time ago, almost 100 years. The relationship between Asia, the Pacifi c and Germany predates colonization.” The Center for Korean Studies at UH Mānoa will host a two-day conference titled “Asia and the Pacifi c in German Culture” on Feb. 14-15 that will explore the depths of Germany’s relationship with Asia and the Pacifi c in matters of travel, trade, poli-tics, philosophy, literature and art. According to sophomore music major Cait-lin Cavarocchi, students have an opportunity to learn about German orientalism and Pacifi c his-tory during the two-day event. “It’s always cool to learn about other cul-tures,” Cavarocchi said. “As a student at UH, I think it would be extremely worthwhile be-

cause we live in a state, as well as attend a uni-versity, with a largely diverse community, espe-cially dealing with Asian culture.” Students are encouraged to attend this free event to gain a fresh perspective on Asia and Pa-cifi c cultures and their far-reaching infl uences on the world, according to associate professor of history Margot A. Henriksen. “I think that it would be very interesting for them (students) to learn about that,” Henriksen said. “I’m suspecting that not too many people would know about that. I think that people in Hawai’i really should learn about important en-counters that have taken place. … Not all are bad.” It’s important for the student body to edu-cate themselves on culture and the impacts it makes on society, according to Vanessa Maldo-nado, a freshman music major. “It’s important for us (students) to realize the impact culture can have on society, no matter how different the cultures may seem,” Maldonado said. The fi rst day of the conference will cover Ger-many’s connection with Pacifi c islands, such as Sa-moa, New Zealand and Tonga, and the infl uences that developed on the fi elds of art, anthropology and politics. Keynote speaker James Bade, profes-

sor of German at the University of Auckland, will headline day one of the conference followed by performances from the German Club, the Samoan Club and the South Asian Club, which will coincide with Aaja Nachle Hawai‘i Indian Dances. The Royal Hawaiian Band will hold a performance on day two of the conference with keynote speaker Doug McGetchin, a history professor at the University of Flor-ida Atlantic, immediately following. Mc-Gethchin will discuss “The Specter Haunt-ing German Orientalism: Edward Said’s Inf luence on the Study of Germans, India and the British Empire” with conference panels conferring about philosophies of In-dia as well as Southeast Asia’s relationship with literature and cinema. Professor Sai Bhatawadekar will give the endnote address covering the present and fu-ture of German Orientalism. All events are free and open to students and the public. Day one of the conference will commence from 9 a.m.-5:30 p.m., while day two of the confer-ence will host the Royal Hawaiian Band from 8-9 a.m. with the rest of the conference taking place from 9 a.m.-5 p.m.

Flowers are pretty, but why go for something that will certainly wilt when there are so many other, more creative ways to say “I love you”? If you want something fun, interest-ing and long-lasting, consider one of these alternatives.

ANCIENT ROMAN RING You don’t need to go to Europe to see a relic of the Roman Empire. You can buy one for your Valentine. Wearable rings from the Medi-terranean world of 1,500 (or more) years ago are inexpensive. While gold and silver pieces can fetch hun-dreds or thousands of dollars, a solid bronze ring can be had for under $100, with some as cheap as $25. For a little extra, pop for a piece with a pattern or glass bead — also original to the period — set into the bezel. Most antique dealers who sell these age-old items will stock a variety of rings for both sexes and

fi ngers of different sizes. Beware your source, though: fakes surface on Ebay and other auction websites. Your best bet is to do some research and buy your ring from a more repu-table dealer, such as one of the many on vcoins.com.

AFRICAN TRADE BEADS If you’re crafty, consider mak-ing your beau (or belle) a necklace, keychain or trinket from trade beads. While some are newly made under fair trade policies, others were made decades or centuries ago and were used by merchants in sub-Saharan Africa. Some were even worth the weight in gold in their heyday. It isn’t hard to fi nd a variety of beads to choose from. Some are large and colored with multiple hues, while others are small, deli-cate glass creations. Either way, grab some leather cord, pliers and a clasp for an easy but attractive gift. Beads are available online and at some markets on-island, with prices starting at a couple dollars each.

Get some fl owers. Yes, it may seem cliché to get your darling fl ow-ers, but do it anyway. In 2005, several scientists pub-lished a paper on the effects fl ow-ers have on mood. They found that presenting people with fl owers re-sulted in an immediate and strong positive reaction and that it is likely that more fl owers indicate increased happiness. Even among a group of participants known for being de-pressed, fl owers had a positive and sustained impact on mood. Both men and women reacted positively to the fl owers; so don’t think that this gift is solely for girls. Multiple theoretical explana-tions were given for these results. Perhaps the attraction to fl owers is simply a learned response due to their global popularity. Or, it is possible that people associate fl ow-ers with food and survival because human ancestors saw that fl owers predict a future supply of fruits,

nuts and berries. Another hypoth-esis is that fl owers directly en-hance mood through visual or ol-factory mechanisms. Regardless, the results are the same – people like to receive fl owers. But what fl owers to get? You can always go for the classic red rose, or you could try changing things up by fi nding a fl ower that has a special meaning behind it. For example, some believe that honeysuckle rep-resents the bonds of love, accord-ing to The Old Farmer’s Almanac. Sorrels symbolize affection, and oak-leaved geraniums stand for true friendship. If you search the web for fl ower meanings, you will fi nd fl oral symbolism to help you express your-self. Write a little note along with the gift to explain what it means and why you chose it – your special someone will appreciate the thought. So, don’t worry about being un-original – it’s a scientifi c fact that people enjoy receiving fl owers, and there are plenty of fl oral options out there to keep things interesting and meaningful.

LISA GRANDINETTI

Contributing Writer

When it comes to politics in Hawai‘i, issues are often discussed, but are rarely acted upon. Traffi c is getting worse. Jobs are limited. Our cost of living is the highest in the nation. Developers are threatening our land and livelihoods for their own benefi t. But even with this understanding, we do little to change the disheartening paths of our future. To attest to this, Hawai‘i has the lowest voter turnout in the nation. On top of that, in the 2008 election, Hawai‘i’s youth had the lowest voter turnout. Some people call this apathy, but such low participation in the democratic process has its roots in cynicism. If you ask people who don’t vote why they choose to do so, most will say it’s because they think their vote doesn’t matter – politicians will do whatever they want in offi ce. It’s not that people simply don’t care; we’ve only seen money-power dominate our islands. Although Hawai‘i has a rich history of activism, we’ve watched as banks and developers seize both our land and our jobs and silence the interests of local people. What we haven’t seen enough of is effective, organized opposition – essentially, people power. That’s where AiKea comes in. The AiKea Movement is a movement of working people, across different issues and communities, uniting to take back Hawai‘i’s future from big money. Hawai‘i’s people must stand in solidarity with one another because they will not win their battles individually. When we divide our communities and distract ourselves from the bigger picture, the oppressors are free to control us. It will take the collective effort of all groups to produce the effective people power we need to take back Hawai‘i.

STUDENT EMPOWERMENT What does this have to do with the what ’s going on at the capitol? This column will not be a report of bills and resolutions currently being discussed at the capitol, but it will be an attempt to change students’ attitudes so they feel that something can be done to change the gloomy future of Hawai‘i.

BILL 47 To start, there is City Council Bill 47, also called the Ko‘olau Loa “Sustainable” Com-munities Plan. This bill would develop all of Ko‘olau Loa, the entire northeast side of O‘ahu, which was originally designated by the O‘ahu General Plan as rural. Supporters of this bill tout jobs and housing, as does every other development plan. In reality, the jobs will be tem-porary or low-wage, and the housing will not be affordable to the average Hawai‘i resident.

MARCH WITH US Regardless of its alleged benefits, this development does not consider the inter-ests of Hawai‘i’s people, as it would destroy the environment of the area, encroach on Kuleana Lands, cause immense traffic and funnel more money into the pockets of rich developers. AiKea, Defend O‘ahu Coalition and those who call Ko‘olau Loa home will march from the Malaekana Cabins to Malaekana State Park to stop this development on Feb. 16 at noon. Help build people power and win this fi ght.

The No. 11 Rainbow Warrior volleyball team (7-4, 5-3 Mountain Pacifi c Sports Federation) came home with two more wins under its belt after sweeping No. 13 Cal State Northridge in two matches at the Matadome. The University of Hawai‘i team shifts its atten-tion this week to home matches against Cal Baptist. “I’d say we’re a little more con-fi dent after the sweep of CSUN,” sophomore libero Kolby Kanetake said. “The more important thing, though, is that we kind of realize what it takes to win matches on the road. I feel like we were much bet-ter prepared to compete than we were at UC Santa Barbara.”

LANCERS LOOK FOR ANSWERS

CBU (3-7, 2-6 MPSF) doesn’t have the best stats or records compared

to other teams that UH has run into. Senior setter Brett Anderson runs the offense and also leads the team defensively with 52 digs. Johannes Brink leads Cal Baptist with 95 kills and behind him is 6-foot-11 middle blocker Kristopher Johnson with 82. If the Lancers can pull off a win this weekend, it will be their fi rst away victory of the season. “We know their outside (Brink) is their best player, so we’ll probably be keying on him the most,” Kanetake said. “I think going into this match our mindset is mostly focused on our side of the net and what we need to do.” UH will have to play its game to defeat Cal Baptist. Offense from the middles will be key in opening the pins up for the outside hitters. Brook Sedore and Sinisa Zarkovic will need to be effi cient from the start. Hawai‘i has defense covered with Kanetake taking the reins and senior setter Joby Ramos running the offense. “(Senior) Nick’s (West) offense in the middle helps to free up the

pins and makes it a lot easier on them,” Kanetake said. “Nick also brings a lot of positive energy to the fl oor which give us a real boost.”

BLOCK PARTY In previous matches, the Warriors were able to take down teams with blocking from mid-dles Davis Holt and Taylor Aver-ill. West is back to the lineup and has proven successful for Hawai‘i with eight kills, one ace and eight blocks against CSUN.

Sophomore libero Kolby Kanetake leads Hawai‘i with 86 digs this season.

NICK HUTH

Senior Staff Writer@NICKSHOOPS

When Christian Standhardinger was informed that Cal State Fuller-ton scheduled the Rainbow Warrior basketball team as its homecoming game for the second-straight sea-son, he scoffed toward his teammate Brandon Spearman in shock. “They must like to lose,” Spear-man replied. “We take it as disre-spect when somebody schedules us in the homecoming games because you want to win your homecoming,” Standhardinger said. “I think we’ll get to the next level and hustle more because we don’t like to be disrespected as a team.” Hawai‘i spoiled the Titans’ home-coming last season, 77-75, behind 18 points from Standhardinger. The team also defeated UC Irvine earlier this season on its homecoming. “It’s good for the guys to play in front of a packed house,” head coach Gib Arnold said. “I think it plays to our favor when we’re playing in front of big groups of fans.” Spearman echoed his coach’s statements after Monday’s practice. “It’s defi nitely going to be

hyped up.”, Spearman said. “But we’ll be ready for it.”

ON THE ROAD AGAIN But before the Warriors face the Titans, they will face a UC Riv-erside team that they easily beat at Stan Sheriff Center. Arnold believes the Highlanders are playing much better since their last meeting, which ended in a 100-69 rout. Arnold also mentioned the

urgency that comes with the fi nal few weeks of the regular season. “Everybody’s feeling it right now, and everyone is coming down to the end,” said Arnold. “Everybody has to play their best basketball right now.” The ‘Bows will play four of their fi nal seven games outside of Stan Sheriff Center, and with a 3-3 record on the road, the Warriors are still learning how to win away from home. “I think we’ve kind of fi gured it out,” Standhardinger. said “I think on the last road trip we got the for-mula to win on the road.” Part of that formula will likely involve more scoring from the War-

riors, who have failed to reach their season scoring average in the last three games. Scoring on the road has proven diffi cult for UH recently, but the current slump has an expiration date according to Standhardinger. “Obviously it’s harder when you’re not at home, but we have too good of shooters to not be a good shooting team,” Standhardinger said. Although Hawai‘i has strug-gled to score, its upcoming foes

are struggling to win. The Warriors’ 16 wins this season trumps the combined 15 victories of Cal State Fullerton and UC Riverside. The Warriors

are currently fourth in the Big West conference and set to face the three teams above them in the waning weeks of the season. Spearman summed up the team’s simple goal on the road trip. “These are going to be two big road wins that we need, and that’s what we’re looking to do.”
