History 151 Professor Liam Kelley is one of the top-rated professors from University of Hawai’i at Mānoa on the website. Kelley teaches and specializes in Southeast and mainland Asian history and is currently researching popular religion in the late-19th to early 20th-century Vietnam. Many students don’t think that professors check their ratings, but they are mistaken. “Professors look at it too,” Kelley said. With an overall rating of 4.6 out of 5 from 63 raters, it ’s clear that Kelley deserves the score, thanks to his passion for what he teaches.

ʻPROFESSORS LOOK AT IT TOOʼ “There are a lot of people who just think history is boring,” he said. “(Col-lege is) the last chance to get them to think maybe history isn’t boring. I think some people get surprised that it isn’t quite as bad as they thought it was.”

COMEDY MEETS ANTIQUITY Students on the website describe Kel-ley as “fun,” “hilarious” and “interesting.” “I include humor,” he said. “I try to look for things that are interesting to us today and put in weird humor. You just do the unexpected, but the next sentence you keep going with the nor-mal information.”

Kelley also captivates his students with PowerPoints that include colorful slides and various sound effects. Be-cause he has a degree in Russian and loves comedy, he often incorporates his Russian accent into lessons. “A lot of times I think I must have the sense of humor of a 12-year-old kid; it ’s like history from the perspective of an immature 13-year-old,” he said. “But the core, the information is there.” Students have shown their love for his humorous style of teaching, as said by one RateMyProfessors com-menter: “Entertaining, always makes class fun. (Kelley) threw candy at us while ‘Dancing Queen’ (was) playing in the background.”

HOW HE GOT HERE Kelley didn’t always want to be a professor. With an undergraduate de-gree in Russian, he never thought he would be where he is today. “I was always afraid of history,” he said. With so much reading and information to absorb, he was intimidated at fi rst. “When I left college, I vowed to stay away from academia forever,” he said. “I just couldn’t stand egghead professors talking to themselves.” However, something eventually drew him into the world of history and teaching. Kelley said that after he got his Rus-sian degree, he became bored and felt like he was no longer learning as much as he could. The idea of teaching slowly began to fascinate him. He realized that if he was destined to become a teacher, he had to teach a subject he was interested in, and he eventually got his degree in history. “I think the best part is that there is so much stuff that ’s so fascinating that people just don’t know about,” Kelley said.

“At some point in time, someone’s jaw is going to fall when they realize something they didn’t know.”

ʻKEEP LAUGHINGʼ Kelley has too many favorite memo-ries from teaching to just choose one. “Best memories? It ’s all a blur,” Kelley said. But he does appreciate all of the great comments he gets from his students. He particularly loves the ones from students whose opinions of history are now changed forever.

“You know, when a student says ‘I always hated history, and now this total-ly changed my view of things’,” he said. If Kelley could say anything to the students who have had him, it would be to “keep having fun” and to “keep laughing.”

Ka Leo is dedicating a profi le series to some of the top-rated professors at the UH Mānoa, using RateMyProfessors.com as a benchmark for whether professors de-serve the spotlight. For those who aren’t familiar with Rate-MyProfessors, it is a website that gives stu-dents the options to search for a professor by school, then allows them to read and leave comments about professors. Students can rate professors from 1 to 5 in helpfulness, clarity, easiness, hotness and overall quality.

I try to look for things that are interesting to us today and put in weird humor. You just do the unexpected, but the next sentence you keep going with the normal information.

After noticing circular, yel-low spots on the leaves of his cof-fee plant, a farmer contacted Uni-versity of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s Scot Nelson via a mobile app called the Plant Doctor. Nelson and Michael Melzer, both faculty at the College of Tropical Agri-culture and Human Resources, discov-ered that the symptoms were new and had not been reported anywhere else in the world. They then determined the dis-covery of a new variety of pest. “The diseased trees seemed to be in okay health, so I doubt it is a fa-tal disease to the tree,” Melzer said. “However, none of the berries were harvested from the diseased trees. They were all dried up like raisins.” According to Nelson, the ca-pacity of the virus to cause a dis -ease and its link to any symptoms

on the leaves or berries has yet to be determined while the team con-tinues its research. “The shape and color of the symp-toms for this new disease differ distinct-ly from the symptoms caused by every other coffee pest in Hawai‘i,” Nelson said. “The spots on the leaves associ-ated with this emara-like virus are circu-lar and pale green and having rings or etched, semi-circular grooves.” Emara viruses are specifi c to plants and transmitted by eriphyid mites. Eriphyid mites are invisible to the naked eye and considered plant parasites. Although the new disease exhibits emara-like symptoms, the connection between the two has yet be determined, according to Melzer. “Emara viruses are a relatively newly found group of viruses that have not been well-studied, but so far it looks like they have a fairly narrow host range,” Melzer said. “If this is an emara virus, I would be

surprised if we found it in crops oth-er than coffee or close relatives.” The Plant Doctor, the app the farmer used to report the disease, was created by Nelson for plant disease diagnosis. “My goal in creating the Plant Doctor app in 2011 was to allow users to apply smartphones on site to sub-mit image samples to receive rapid, interactive diagnosis and pest man-agement recommendations,” Nelson said. “Since 2013, I have provided diagnostics and management recom-mendations to about 1,200 users in 41 countries and 42 states in the USA.” According to Nelson, the damage caused by the disease to coffee plants is under investigation. Although its full impact to coffee farmers and cof-fee plants is yet to be determined, it could be dangerous. “Since action is being taken ear-ly, we hope this will not be a serious threat to coffee growers,” Melzer

said. “The worry is that if no action is taken and the disease is allowed to spread, it could become a much more serious problem as there are few remedies for viral diseases.” Growers are advised to iso-late the plants if they’re infected. Growers should also avoid trans-porting cuttings, cherries, leaves or other plant material from them to another site to prevent the virus from spreading. “A notifi cation was sent out to coffee growers statewide asking them to be on the lookout for this dis-ease,” Melzer said. “To the best of my knowledge, nobody else has reported seeing the disease. We plan to do fol-low-up surveys in the coming months to see if we can fi nd it elsewhere.” Farmers who discover similar symptoms are asked to contact Nel-son via email or the free Plant Doc-tor app, which is available for iPhone and Android users.

The genocide of Rohingya Mus-lims in Myanmar is being orches-trated. As they experience countless acts of violence from anti-Muslim Buddhists, the media murmurs, and the world merely lets out a small sigh. Where is the uproar? Where is jus-tice for these minorities living in this small Southeast Asian country?

THE SPARK Approximately 1.3 million Ro-hingya Muslims reside in Myanmar, many descending from families that have lived there for generations. For-tify Rights, a non-profi t human rights organization, confi rms severe viola-tions of the Rohingya’s human rights, and the United Nations recognizes them as “one of the most persecuted minorities in the world.” Despite their long-term resi-dence in the country, more than 700,000 Rohingya still remain state-less, as the 1982 Citizenship Law cat-egorized them as “foreign residents.” They have also been prohibited from freedoms such as practicing Islam, traveling freely and marrying whom they please, and Regional Order 1/2005 restricted them from having more than two children. Burmese-Buddhist nationalism has been on the rise, with the “969” movement – led by Buddhist monks – preaching intolerance toward the Rohingya. This ideology is set in the belief that the Rohingya Mus-lims are invaders of the land. This

anger in the 90 percent Buddhist population paired with an authori-tarian Buddhist political force has led to vast outbreaks of violence across Myanmar. According to Myanmar’s am-bassador, the major violence began with the rape and killing of a Bud-dhist girl by three Muslims in May 2012. A month later in June, about 300 Buddhists attacked and killed 10 Muslims in a bus. CBS reported that since 2012, the Rohingya have seen consistent outbreaks of fatal violence that have killed hundreds and left 250,000 displaced.

GOVERNMENT- SPONSORED ATROCIT IES On June 13, 2012, “a government truck dumped 18 naked and half-clothed bodies near a Rohingya dis-placed person camp outside of Sittwe, the state capital. Some of the victims had been ‘hogtied’ with string or plas-tic strips before being executed,” ac-cording to Human Rights Watch. On Oct. 23, 2012, Buddhists at-tacked a Muslim community in Yan Thei village, according to Human Rights Watch. Five mosques, six ma-drassas and 642 households were burned to the ground. The small amount of dispatched police, who were present during the event, were accused of disarming Muslims who attempted to defend themselves. In the daylong massacre, at least 70 Muslims were slaughtered, with 28 children – 13 un-der the age of 5 – hacked to death. Furthermore, enraged by the killing of a monk, Buddhists turned

their eyes to an Islamic school. On March 21, 2013, 36 Muslims-most of them teenagers and not involved in the monk killing- were massacred by Buddhist mobs. The students ran for help to the police, who merely looked on as they were killed, accoding to the Associated Press. On May 18, 2013, the United Nations confi rmed two recent, sepa-rate massacres, in which at least 48 Muslims were killed, although the government denies it. However, the violence is not exclusive to Muslims; those who dare assist them also face assault. In March, CNN said the offi ces of international aid agencies in Sittwe were attacked for allegedly being biased toward the Rohingya Mus-lims. And in February, Doctors Without Borders were also banned from treating Rohingya.

REMOVE THE BLINDS Ironically, news of the May 2013 massacres arose as Myanmar hosted an Association of Southeast Asian Nations event that celebrat-ed the distance the nation has gone since ending its military dictator-ship two years ago. Myanmar President Thein Sein has been saluted by the inter-national community for his political and economic reforms, with eco-nomic sanctions enacted during the Burma dictatorship lifted by Presi-dent Barack Obama on July 11, 2012. In the same speech that he lifted sanctions, Obama stated that new sanctions could be put in place for

“those who undermine the reform process, engage in human rights abuses, contribute to ethnic con-fl ict or participate in military trade with North Korea.” Myanmar’s products are now allowed to be imported to the U.S., and “The Obama adminis-tration is allowing U.S. companies to do business with Myanmar’s strategic oil and gas industry, which has been a key source of income for the regime,” said Phil Robertson, deputy director of Hu-man Rights Watch in Asia, in an interview with CNN.

We have evidence of “hu-man rights abuses” and “ethnic confl ict,” yet we pat Myanmar on the head like proud parents. The Genocide Watch has a spotlight on Myanmar, and yet American media has chosen to treat the situa-tion as second-rate news. We need to address the injustices that are being faced by people throughout the world. We should not stand by while innocent people are slaugh-tered and their human rights violated by a nation that becomes increasingly respected by the in-ternational community.

Six straight losses at home can certainly mess with a team’s mentality. Hawai‘i fi rst baseman Marc Flores charac-terized it as “frustration for us, personally.” And the past two weeks have certainly reeked of it, especially in the Rainbow Warriors’ latest series defeat against No. 4 Cal Poly.

BOILING BLOOD Untimely hitting, hasty defense and inconsis-tency within the bullpen have all contributed to the two consecutive sweeps UH (14-19, 2-7 Big West Conference) was hammered with. While the bats were able to generate some necessary hits, the team saw defeat in the midst of production.

These losses have taken a toll on some fans, who refused to hold their tongues Sunday afternoon while the game was drawing to a bit-ter 8-3 defeat. But the jeers were one-sided, as head coach Mike Trapasso expressed that he couldn’t care less about their taunting remarks. “When they start turning on our players, we just shut them down,” Trapasso said. “That’s the alcohol talking, and that’s their prerogative. “If they’re going to be drunken idiots and yell at our kids, go ahead and have that ... It shows what a small person that you are when you’re doing that.”

SCHEDULING BLUES While some of the players acknowl-edged their costly mistakes, they did not let it shake their spirits. “We made mistakes here and there, but

we stuck with them the whole time,” senior shortstop Austin Wobrock said. “It was ex-citing to see the fourth-ranked team in the nation and that we’re hanging with them.” It’s diffi cult to solely blame the Rainbow Warriors for their recent defeats. Cal Poly, along-side an also-victorious UC Irvine, are two of the best teams in the Big West Conference. “There’s no fi nding it because we have it,” Trapasso said. “This is our team that scratched and clawed and played a great team.” He also stressed that though this hump may have set them up for a bumpy ride, his players will be fi ne. “If not, then it’s my fault for overschedul-ing,” he said. “We’ve just bit off more than we can chew.” On the fl ip side, it seems that the team has maneuvered the rocky road well.

“I believe that our coach put this sched-ule together not because he wants us to getpounded on, (but) because we can hang withthese guys,” Wobrock said. “We just didn’tcome out on top this week.” Despite the losses they’ve collected, Trapasso made sure there was a balance kept inthe art of forgetting and refl ecting. “Some losses, you just have to forgetabout it and toss it out,” he said. “But some, you really have to refl ect on it and learn fromthe mistakes you’ve made.”
