JANE CALLAHAN

Associate News Editor

At the head of the table in a crowded room in Burns Hall at the East-West Center, there sat a man with what should be a strangely familiar face. After all, his grandfather’s portrait was in many textbooks in America. Dr. Arun Gandhi, grandson of Mahatma Gandhi, stopped at UH Mānoa on Wednesday to de-liver his lecture “Non-violence: A Means for Social Change.” The talk was particularly aimed at discussing peace in light of the recent events in the Middle East and North Africa. “We are a culture of violence,” Gandhi said, “by controlling other people through fear.” He cited the supply of nuclear weapons that can be found in 25 nations. “Now we don’t know how to control them. ... We have terrorists and we don’t know how to fi ght them. It’s a very dangerous situation.” War, he said, is not the an-swer, because it perpetuates a cycle of violence. To know peace, one must understand violence. He focused on how people’s dependence on each other as hu-man beings, regardless of their nation, is stunted by nationalism. “It ’s fi ne to be proud of our nation, but not letting the rest of the world go down the tubes. We are connected; what happens to the rest of the world will happen to us. We will go down the tubes

with them, superpower or not, whether we like it or not. “People say ‘we live in peace’ just because there is no fighting in the streets. We are in a mate-rialist society. There is selfish-ness for a better job, more money. Materialism brings out the worst in human behavior. We forget the people [who] are left behind.” He explained the danger of passive violence, which ranges from wasting resources to dis-criminating against others. “Physical violence is the result of passive violence. It generates an-

ger in the victim.” Gandhi grandfather experi-enced an act of discrimination in South Africa, where he was removed from his train for sitting in a white-only car. Outraged, he told other Indians of his experi-ence. “They all shrugged and said, ‘it happens all the time, that’s how things are,’” Arun Gandhi re-called. “My grandfather realized that by accepting the discrimina-tion, the Indian people were op-pressing themselves.” The talk was sponsored by the Gandhi International Institute for

Peace, which has an offi ce in Hono-lulu, and the We Are One Founda-tion, which is a non-profi t organiza-tion that promotes “global healing by sharing education.” Proceeds from the fundraising events will go to the We Are One Foundation. Born in South Africa in 1934, Arun Ghandi lived with his grandfather for a year and a half just before India achieved its independence in 1947. He worked as a journalist for the Times of India for three decades. He went on to establish the Gan-dhi Institute for Nonviolence in

Memphis, Tenn. For the past two years he traveled the world, dis-cussing strategies for peace. In 2009, he embarked on a Europe-an tour, and in 2010 he was part of the Global Exchange Organi-zation’s “reality tours.” Through the GEO program, he returned to India to retrace the footsteps of his grandfather’s life. The East-West Center was the first stop on Gandhi’s five-day trip to O‘ahu. Other locations in-cluded talks for HPU, ‘Iolani, the state capitol, the Gandhi memo-rial statue in front of the Honolulu Zoo, and a fundraiser dinner at Himalayan Kitchen in Kaimukī. Gandhi has scheduled talks with media and institutions in Hono-lulu up to four times a day. During his career, Arun Gan-dhi has produced four books, nu-merous essays and compilations of Mahatma Gandhi’s work. He has set up several social programs, with the goal of allowing the poor of India to build a foundation for future security. He tells the story of one such project he undertook in 1970, in Bombay (Mumbai), India, which was based on the idea that char-ity should be given out of compas-sion, not out of pity. Arun Gandhi and fi ve other participants gathered 800 people

On Wednesday, Dr. Arun Gandhi (right), grandson of Mahatma Gandhi, gave a lecture on attaining peace at the East-West Center. The seminar focused on ending physical violence by ending passive violence. The room was full, with people outside in the hallway straining to hear.

SETH LILLEY

KTUH Correspondent

You know a band has cojones when it chooses a ridiculous name just to see how far it can get with it. Such is the case with STRFKR, which is actually the stylized ver-sion of the band’s offi cial name, mi-nus some vowels and a C. Go ahead, sound it out. STRFKR’s style is indie-electronica, one of those ambigu-ous genre crossovers that basi-cally means “kind of indie-rock sounding with more synthesizer and dance beats.” The band was formed in 2007 with Joshua Hodg-es on vocals, keyboards, guitar and drums; Ryan Biornstad on guitar, keyboard, vocals and turn-tables; Shawn Glassford on bass and keyboards; and Keil Corcoran on drums, keyboards and vocals.

You’ll notice again the predomi-nance of multi-instrumental musi-cians within the band, allowing for versatility during a live show. STRFKR’s new album, “Reptil-ians,” shows off the band’s ability to combine sounds. Many indie-elec-tronic bands feature house-type instruments along with traditional rock staples, but STRFKR does it very organically. The album begins with “Born,” a nostalgic track start-ing off with an acoustic guitar chord progression before adding drum machine beats. Though the album is distinctly dancey, it retains an im-portant element of musicality. You can listen to it and enjoy it on an ar-tistic level; that’s far more than you can say for a lot of dance music. Other notable tracks are “Death As A Fetish,” which sounds like a combination of Beck and We Are Scientists, “Hungry Ghost,” which samples an unnerving seminar on death, and the title track “Reptilians,” an indie-rock groove with heavy synth. The whole album has an

air of blitheness, making it in-credibly easy to listen to. The one tarnishing attribute of the album is that it doesn’t do any-thing new. Sure, it shows a slight maturation of the band’s sound, but it doesn’t do anything to dis-tinguish itself from other groups doing the indie-electronic sound. I could get the same creativity and listenability out of DVAS’ “Society” or Sufjan Stevens’ “Age Of Adz” – the same synthesizer, the same acoustic guitar rhythms, the same dance beats. It’s a great album, don’t get me wrong, but there isn’t anything new. STRFKR’s evocative name and strikingly orchestrated songs are sure to earn them a place in indie-rock royalty. “Reptilians” shows how any idea can shine when well executed. Hopefully their tour brings them to Honolulu, and you can see a few of the guys in drag. “Reptil ians” will be released on March 8 and runs around $10. Available for preorder on iTunes now!

THE VARSITY SPECIAL NICK WEBSTER

Staff Writer

Can you remember the fi rst time you saw “Dumb and Dumb-er” or “There’s Something About Mary”? I haven’t seen either in years, but I can remember several hilarious scenes from both. The directors of those two fi lms, Peter and Bobby Farrelly, are back with “Hall Pass.” How does this fi lm differ? It’s extremely forgettable. Starring Owen Wilson as Rick and Jason Sudeikis (from “Saturday Night Live”) as Fred, the story is about two husbands given a “hall pass,” or a week off from marriage, in which they can do whatever they like. Comedic

genius? Nope. The plot fl ows as expected. For the fi rst part of the week, Rick and Fred spend their time eating at family restaurants and not meet-ing women. Their wives (played by Jenna Fischer and Christina Applegate), on the other hand, are spending a weekend in Cape Cod, becoming increasingly unfaithful with a baseball team and its coach. If you’ve seen the trailer for this fi lm, you have seen the best lines it has. Fred’s pickup lines, such as “How much does a polar bear weigh? Enough to break the ice” and “Do these napkins smell like chloroform?” are funnier in the pre-view than in the context of the fi lm. The whole fi lm, in both script and

acting, feels incredibly forced. There really is no standout performance or scene in this fi lm to save it. Scenes that should bring some sort of emotion fail, and the lack of chemistry between characters only adds to it. The Farrelly brothers’ fi lms typically feature physically and mentally handicapped charac-ters. No one is handicapped in “Hall Pass,” and without anyone to make fun of, the directors struggle to be originally funny.

THE VERDICT A comedy without any memorable jokes, “Hall Pass” simply tries too hard.

‘Hall Pass’ is excused‘Hall Pass’ is excused

After being nominated for 12 Academy Awards, “The King’s Speech” received four, including Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Direc-tor and Best Original Screenplay. It deserves all of the accolades, and then some. If you haven’t seen it yet, there is no better fi lm to see. This historical drama about England’s King George VI (Colin Firth) opens with the protagonist, then known as Prince Albert, Duke of York, addressing a large crowd at a stadium. Due to his stammer, the prince is unable to get his words across to the crowd. The resulting awkwardness and embarrassment leads his wife Elizabeth (Helena Bonham Carter) to seek treatment for her husband. After their physician’s methods fail,

the prince turns to Lionel Logue, an Australian speech therapist played by Geoffrey Rush. The relationship starts out rough. Logue does not show the usual respect given to a royal, which completely throws off the temperamental prince. Albert walks out and later delivers an-other stammer-fi lled speech over the radio. The prince then listens to a re-cording from the session, which Logue insisted he make. To both Albert and Elizabeth’s astonish-ment, through one of Logue’s methods, Albert reads an entire paragraph from Hamlet cleanly. Albert and Logue begin daily therapy sessions. They make great progress, and Albert be-gins to open up to Logue about his personal life. Logue becomes Albert’s therapist for much more than his speech, and the two be-come good friends – Logue being the only common man that Albert really knows.

The twist comes when Albert’s father, King George V, passes away. Albert’s older brother becomes king, but he abdicates the throne in order to marry a twice-divorced American woman. The last thing Albert wants is to be king, but he accepts the re-sponsibility and is crowned King George VI amid the controversy. As if circumstances weren’t stressful enough for the king, shortly after his coronation, Eng-land declares war with Germany. Needing to address the empire, his stammer comes back. As air-raid sirens blare, Logue arrives to help him deliver “The King’s Speech.”

THE VERDICT If you want a story about over-coming disability and the devel-opment of an unlikely friendship, “The King’s Speech” is the movie to see. Firth effectively portrays the frustration of someone with a communicative disorder.

The University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Department of Theater and Dance presents the premiere of Love2 at Kennedy Theatre, written by graduate playwright Siobhán Ní Dhonacha. The tale takes viewers through the lives of four couples – and a hopeful single – whose lives intertwine. Dhonacha’s characters make decisions that will inevitably affect one an-other, regardless of their sexual orientation. “All kinds of relationships are in the play ... This play rep-resents a variety of situations that we will fi nd ourselves in, whether we are gay or straight,” Dhonacha said. “It’s honest.” The characters are left with a choice: express their sex-uality and endure the possible social disapproval, or contain it, living in fear, neglected by their peers. Love2 plays with relationship themes of infidelity, longing, sexuality, love and friendship. Decisions the characters make throughout the play refl ect the choices made by individuals every day. Sometimes they hurt, sometimes they help, but the play shows that it is always important for people to be honest about their lives.

Just because it technically isn’t Spring Break yet, doesn’t mean you can’t start celebrating. Kick off party season right with Spring Harvest at the Waterfront tonight at 6 p.m. This ragamuffi n concert will feature Tribal Seeds, a hit reggae band from California. The band has built up its name opening for major artists like Matisyahu, Da-mian Marley, and UB40. They’ve also been featured at many ragga-muffi n festivals and toured as far as Mexico and Aruba. Most popular for its past songs “Beautiful Mysterious” and “Dark Angel,” the band adds a dark twist to the head bopping beat. In fact, their sound is almost like a rock and reggae fusion – like a mix between J BOOG and Rebelution. Their latest album “The Harvest,” debuted at num-ber five on the Billboard’s Reg-gae Charts, featuring their new-er hits “Garden” and “Vampire.” The “spiritually driven” group

credits their musical inspiration to legendaries like Bob Marley, Steel Pulse, and Midnite. Also performing will be Ai-pohaku, Rootikal Riddim, Father Psalms, and Cease Fyah. But this party is more than just some pas-sive musical experiences. The event originated as a celebration for Oahugrown Clothing’s business success. And as all Coors Light-sponsored events go, get ready to rage! This event will be open to ev-eryone 18 and up. In addition to the concert, there will also be a booth of tra-ditional local food by Kumu‘ola, a non-profi t Hawai‘i organization.

Imagine using an app on your iPhone or Droid to scan a code which takes you to a website. This code could be placed on a food item, leading to a webpage that lists the food’s ingredients. The code could also link a printed newspaper article to a more in-depth article online. The technological innovation of Quick Response codes makes this a reality. According to fastcompany.com, “A QR code is a 2-D barcode that can be scanned by a smart phone’s camera and transfer information.” This redefi nes the notion of how information can be contained in a limited space. This technology is far from new. The Pittsburgh Business Times re-ported that “QR codes ... were devel-oped in 1994 by the Japanese fi rm Denso Wave Inc. for use in the man-ufacturing setting to keep track of inventory and other information.” The growth of QR codes is related to the spread of smart phones. The website internetretail-er.com noted the remarkable sale of smart phones: “For [2010], ven-dors shipped a total of 302.6 mil-

lion smart phones worldwide, up 74.4 percent from the 173.5 million smart phones shipped in 2009.” The process of creating a QR code is simple: Websites such as bit.ly offer to create QR codes from a provided URL. This QR code can then be attached to any-thing from brochures to newspa-pers, taking up a smaller amount of space. As with any new technology, there are kinks to work out. Some QR code reading apps may be able to read some codes, but not oth-ers. This lack of standardization means that it will take time for the technology to be fully adapted.

One question is whether print quality affects the code’s read-ability by smart phones. Another question is whether this technol-ogy is a mere fad. Regardless, there is no deny-ing that this new technology cuts costs and has revolutionary ef-fects. After all, the apps needed to both read and create these codes are free. These bar codes blur the lines between the digital world of lim-itless information and the real world where space and money play a role. To organizations like businesses and student newspa-pers, QR codes have potential.

This week’s two-game match-up against the Pepper-dine Waves is important for more than just conference play. It may set up Hawai‘i’s future. With less than two months away from the Mountain Pa-cific Sports Federation playoffs, Hawai‘i and Pepperdine are bat-tling for tournament berths. Hawai‘i is currently seventh in the MPSF standings, while Pepperdine is a step behind in the eighth spot. At the end of the regular season, only the top eight out of 12 teams will earn a spot in the

MPSF Tournament. “Every game in our league is huge,” head coach Charlie Wade said. “Every match is signifi cant. But obviously you’re looking at two teams that fi nished near the top last year, and certainly we’re hoping to do the same this year.”

RETURN HOME No. 10 Hawai‘i (6 -9, 4 -6 MPSF) hosts the No. 9 Pepper-dine Waves (5 -7, 4 -7 MPSF) on Friday and Saturday at the Stan Sherif f Center. Both matches are set for 7 p.m. “We’re stoked to be back. It seems like it ’s been a long time,” Wade said. “Pepperdine’s [had] some struggles early on in league

play, but they’re really talented and well-coached. It should be a really competitive weekend.” The Waves are coming off of a three-set sweep over the Cal State Northridge Matadors last Friday. Sophomore opposite Maurice Tor-res led Pepperdine with 10 kills, while sophomore outside hitter Beau Vandeweghe added nine kills, hitting .500. Pepperdine head coach Marv Dunphy, who is in his 28th season, said the Warriors are experienced. “They’re a really good team and [have] lots of good volleyball athletes,” he said. “They are fi ve or six guys that have been there. They’re going to be right there with anybody at the end of the year.”

The Rainbow Wahine softball squad is back from a 12-day, 11-game road trip and is prepared to make changes. “Hopefully we can make some minor adjustments on the things that have been beating us, and those are the things that will win ball games,” head coach Bob Coolen said. The No. 14/16 ’Bows (12-4) posted a 7-4 mark on their trip, but lost their fi nal three games of the Cathedral City Classic in Palm Springs, Calif. But this wasn’t the first time that the ’Bows have started strong on a road trip but failed to finish strong. Last season, the team lost three of their last four games on a two-week road trip after winning five of their first six. Coolen may change the sched-ule next year. “It’s just a matter of reassess-ing that 12-day road trip. Is it worth it?” he said. “Two years in a row,

we’ve done the same thing. We’ve tanked, in that we’ve gone 1-3. So it’s not really benefi cial to do that [road trip] in the long run.”

ʼBOWS LOOKING TO REBOUND This weekend’s Bank of Hawai‘i Invitational Tournament will give the team an opportunity to get back on track. The Rainbow Wahine will fi rst face St. Bonaventure, who will make their season debut ver-sus the ’Bows on Friday at 6 p.m. On Saturday, they will play South Dakota State (0-9) at 3 p.m. and Weber State (4-4) at 5 p.m. The teams will play each team once. On Sunday, they will be seeded for the next round. All games are at the Rainbow Wahine Softball Stadium. Admis-sion is free.

F INDING THE STARTERS The team is still in search of regular starters at the bottom of the batting order. “We need to get an eighth [and] ninth hitter out of the lineup,

because right now we’re only hit-ting one through seven,” Coolen said. “Eight, nine is a mystery.” One player that has solidifi ed her spot in the lineup is sopho-more shortstop Jessica Iwata, who currently leads the team in runs (19), hits (19), home runs (8), runs batted in (15) and slugging percentage (.833). But Iwata said she is concen-trating on wins, not numbers. “I try not to worry too much about individual, and try to focus more on what I can do to help the team,” Iwata said. Coolen attributes Iwata’s suc-cesses to experience. “This year, she knows she’s not often sitting on the bench,” Coolen said. But despite questions to be answered and adjustments to be made, the team is prepared to get back to their winning ways by us-ing their heads. “We’ll work a lot on the mental aspect of the game, and therefore the physical aspect will fall into place,” Iwata said.
