Edmondson Hall Revitalized
Last August’s blessing ceremony
marked a milestone for the College
of Natural Sciences— a $15 million
renovation to Edmondson Hall
(named after zoologist Charles
Howard Edmondson), home to the
Department of Biology.
“We have a state-of-the-art biology
department with now a state-of-theart biology building,” said Natural
Sciences dean William Ditto. “It’s a
rebirth for the University of Hawai‘i
at Mānoa life sciences.”
“It’s a moment of pride,” agreed
Steve Robinow, the interim chair of
the UH Mānoa biology department.
“We can walk students and faculty
and families through here and
show them what we have and
be really proud of the learning
environment we get to provide
their children.”
The four-story, 42,000 square foot
building features nine teaching
laboratories for undergraduates, and
two 5,000 square foot research labs
for faculty and graduate students.
Lab storage and staging areas, office
space, and meeting room were
also renovated.
“What you don’t see by just looking
at the building and the facilities is
how creative the curriculum is now,
how creative the research is that’s
going to be done in that building,”
said Ditto.
The next step is a $35 million
renovation to the adjacent Snyder
Hall, where the microbiology
department is located. When it is
completed, Snyder and Edmondson
will be called the UH Mānoa
Center for Life Science Research
and Teaching.
Steve Robinow, Fred Kamemoto and Ernie Reese (professors emeriti, Zoology), Bill Ditto, and
Christopher Womersley (professor, Biology) attend the blessing.
“This is important to the entire
university and the people of
Hawai‘i,” said Ditto. “This is
the future.”

Elizabeth Kolbert
Michael J. Balick
New Yorker science writer and highly acclaimed author
Elizabeth Kolbert presented “Man, Nature, and Climate
Change, A Conversation with Elizabeth Kolbert. Staff
writer for The New Yorker since 1999, Kolbert speaks
passionately about the realities of environmental catastrophe
and what can be done in a time of epic changes to our
planet. Following her groundbreaking series “The Climate
of Man,” published in The New Yorker, she received
prestigious awards from the American Association for the
Advancement of Science, National Academies of Sciences,
Sierra Club, and Lannan Foundation.
Distinguished ethnobiologist and conservationist Michael
J. Balick is the Vice President for Botanical Science and
the Director and Philecology Curator for the Institute of
Economic Botany at The New York Botanical Garden.
For nearly three decades, Balick has studied relationships
among plants and people, working with traditional
cultures in tropical, subtropical, and desert environments.
Her recent books, Field Notes from a Catastrophe and
The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History, continue
her hard-hitting, investigative science writing. Drawing
upon personal tales of those most affected by global
warming, she writes of threats to people near the poles
and in the Pacific, and the examples of lost civilizations.
Speaking of the ethics of her work, Kolbert says, “If
there’s not a moral dimension to potentially leaving a
totally impoverished planet to future generations, all
generations, I don’t know what would be.”
He is a specialist in the field known as ethnobotany,
working with indigenous cultures to document their plant
knowledge, understand the environmental effects of their
traditional management systems, and develop sustainable
utilization systems, while ensuring that the benefits of such
work are always shared with local communities. He has
conducted international expeditions to carry out fieldwork
in countries including Belize, Costa Rica, Egypt, Haiti,
Israel, Jamaica, and Peru. Balick is also a prolific writer,
authoring or contributing to countless books and other
printed publications.
These public events are made possible by the late Dr. Dai Ho Chun through his estate gift, which established the Dai Ho Chun
Endowment for Distinguished Lecturers at the UH Mānoa Colleges of Arts & Sciences. Dr. Chun was a distinguished and
visionary educator. These lectures are also sponsored by the College of Languages, Linguistics, and Literature, with additional
help from the Dai Ho Chun Endowment Selection Committee and Mānoa: A Pacific Journal of International Writing.

Message from the Deans
Dear Alumni and Friends,
Ke Kumu ‘Ike provides a great opportunity to share news
about the Colleges of Arts & Sciences. There are many ways
to derive information, but we believe that the printed word
remains an important and more personal way to stay in
touch with you in comparison to other means. Thank you for
continuing to welcome it into your homes and businesses each
fall and spring for over two decades.
Ke Kumu ‘Ike has uniquely and consistently served as the
deans’ voices, along with those of many others. This particular
issue, like similar ones that have preceded it, is especially
meaningful to us because the Philanthropy section lets us
express our appreciation for your generous contributions
to both our individual colleges and to the overall academic
unit of Arts & Sciences. Your gifts to the Colleges of Arts &
Sciences inspire all of us who care about higher education in
the State of Hawai‘i and for the people of Hawai‘i. Virtually
all aspects of our colleges are positively influenced by private
support, collaboration, and partnerships. You are the reason
that Colleges of Arts & Sciences are able to expand and
enhance the educational opportunities and experiences of
today’s students. You are the reason that the arts and sciences
advance research, service, and instruction at UH Mānoa,
making curriculum offerings excellent that would otherwise
have been just adequate.
Every day as deans we are reminded of the impact you make.
We see research and scholarship in and out of the classroom,
academic excellence, upgraded facilities, and many other areas
that would not be possible were it not for your assistance.
Your concern about the quality of the university and its future
humbles us. We are especially proud of your loyalty and
dedication to the Colleges of Arts & Sciences. Many of you
have donated to the colleges since the inception of a concerted
development (aka fundraising) program. We may not have had
the pleasure to meet you in person, but we certainly know
who you are.
We applaud you. From the Colleges of Arts & Sciences
Alumni Association board of directors and its members, to
the tens of thousands of graduates throughout the world, Arts
& Sciences’ ohana is special. Just as your contributions have a
lasting legacy, our gratitude and appreciation endure, as well.

President’s Message
Aloha e CASAA Ohana,
I’m writing this during the season of giving and thinking about why people give.
There are all kinds of reasons, but often it’s because we have received. Giving is
mutually rewarding—the recipient feels good and the giver feels even better. I am
grateful to have been both recipient and giver.
In my senior year in high school my father passed away. He was only forty-four,
and my widowed mother, only thirty-seven. My sisters and I were devastated.
As we matured, we would come to understand that our mother dealt not only
with grief, but also with the daunting challenges (not the least of which was
financial) of raising three children. Today, many families face similarly or equally
difficult situations.
Though the word “philanthropy” may not have been in my vocabulary back then,
it certainly was a part of my adolescent experiences. Thanks to the generosity of
strangers, I received scholarships to help pay for tuition. I learned that companies
and people like your selves had funded scholarships for worthy students in
financial need. As I grew older and wiser, my appreciation for these gifts also
grew. It is the reason that I, along with my sisters, chose to establish our own
scholarship endowment in my parents’ honor.
My passion to provide assistance to students increases each year. Perhaps it is
because I see how much it now costs to earn a college degree. I remember that my
$100 scholarships would pay for tuition and some books. Today, it won’t even pay
for a single book in some cases. The crippling debt that many students graduate
with is unfathomable.
Please become a member
of CASAA and be a part
of this special UH Alumni
Association chapter.
To join, you can call
808.956.4051 or go to
UHalumni.org/join.
Perhaps my passion is the result of seeing first-hand how generous people are when
provided the chance to give to others. Case in point—last fall, in recognition
of CASAA’s 20th anniversary, our dedicated board set forth the goal of raising
$20,000 for the CASAA Scholarship Endowment through our signature wine
pairing dinner. It was a lofty goal, and quite frankly, the catchy phrase of
“$20,000 in 20” was appealing. Well, we missed our mark—the dinner raised
$22,225! CASAA friends not only met expectations, but also exceeded them.
Please enjoy a brief photo recap on the following page.
Thank for you putting CASAA in the satisfying situation of being both a giver
and a receiver, just as I was. We give scholarships to students because we receive
your support. It’s that simple, and I am truly grateful.
A hui hou and aloha pumehana,
, BA ’64

CASAA’s Scholarship Support at Work
An excerpt from the travel report of graduate student Michi Sweeney
who received a 2013 CASAA Academic Opportunities Award
As a recipient of the Spring 2013 CASAA Opportunities
Award, I was able to use this scholarship to cover a
portion of the travel expenses to present my research
project, undertaken from 2012–13 through the UH
Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program
(UROP), at the World Futures Studies Federation
conference held in Bucharest, Romania in June 2013.
The conference celebrated the 40th anniversary of the
federation, which was founded in 1973 in Paris, but
conceptualized in Bucharest in 1972. The conference was
held at the Bucharest University of Economic Studies,
in the beautiful Aula Magna Hall—the very same venue
Sweeney on nutritional deficiency in Hawai‘i
that the WFSF founders met at when the federation
was envisioned in 1972. The anniversary conference
theme was Global Research and Innovation: Transforming
Futures, and in attendance were more than 100
participants representing a variety of institutions from six
continents. It was both inspiring and humbling to glean
from and interact with the conference participants.
To be able to participate in a futures conference, I had
to shift my focus from looking at nutritional deficiency
in Hawai‘i as a social issue in its present state, to
considering how it can be prevented in the future(s). The
presentation I gave at the conference summarized the
present barriers to food security that were illuminated
by the UROP research project, and introduced the need
for alternative solutions to address this social issue, as
current interventions such as the Hawai‘i Foodbank
and SNAP do not prevent nutritional deficiency and
subsequent chronic diseases. The process of preparing
for this conference caused me to question whether I
should focus my continued personal and academic efforts
towards intervention or prevention. I was confronted
with the possibility of either equipping myself and
others with tools to make better consumer choices in
the current food system, or becoming equipped with
tools to create a different food system altogether. As a
result of this process, I have chosen to focus on social
transformation that serves to prevent a social issue, rather
than attempting to solve social problems after they’ve
been created.
Yee Receives Lifetime
Achievement Award
Barbara W. K. Yee (’74 Psychology) was awarded the
American Psychological Association’s James Jones
Lifetime Achievement Award during the organization’s
2013 national meeting in Honolulu. The award was
presented by APA’s Minority Fellowship Program for Yee’s
longstanding and distinguished contributions to the field
of racial and ethnic minority psychology through teaching
and training.
Yee, a developmental psychologist, is a professor and
chair of the Department of Family and Consumer
Sciences in the College of Tropical Agriculture and
Human Resources. Her research bridges immigration,
acculturation, gender issues, health literacy, and lifestyle
practices. She has followed Southeast Asian immigrant and
refugee families since the fall of Saigon in 1975, studied
immigrant women from the Philippines and Mexico,
and looked at generations of Native Hawaiian and Pacific
Islander families.

Female Creepers
Endangered
Persian Program Begins
The Persian Language, Linguistics and Culture Program
was recently established, made possible through a grant
from and in partnership with the Roshan Cultural
Heritage Institute. Support for Persian graduate studies is
an integral part of the new program.
Two Roshan institute graduate fellowships for students
of Linguistics and Second Language Studies will be
awarded. A fellow must be a degree-seeking graduate in
Linguistics or Second Language Studies and participate
in research.
Only 22 to 28 percent of the remaining adult population of
the endangered Hawai‘i creeper (Oreomystis mana) found
in the southern portion of the Hakalau Forest National
Wildlife Refuge are female according to research published
by biology professor Leonard Freed and cell and molecular
biology professor Rebecca Cann. This raises concerns about
the birds’ ability to continue to propagate the species.
Fellows will also be expected to participate actively in the

Both male and female Hawai‘i creepers are olive green and
have a short, straight gray bill and black mask. The birds are
endemic to the Island of Hawai‘i. Creeping up and down
koa and ‘ōhi‘a tree trunks and along the underside of larger
branches, they feed on insects living under loose bark.
From 2001 to 2007, Hawai‘i creeper population declined
by 63 percent throughout a 3,400-hectare open forest
area at Hakalau Refuge on the windward slope of Mauna
Kea, according to trend analyses by Freed and Cann. The
scientists observed the male-biased sex ratio along the
elevation gradient in a formerly high density section of the
forest. Freed and Cann pin the sudden and rapid decline
of Hawai‘i creepers on food limitation associated with a
surge in local numbers of the Japanese white-eye (Zosterops
japonicus), an introduced bird that competes with the
creeper. Food limitation was indicated by lower mass,
stunted bill growth, and shorter legs of young creepers, as
well as changes in the timing and duration of molt of both
hatch-year birds and adults. These changes, along with
lower fat and loss of fledglings, point to starvation as the
cause of the Hawai‘i creeper collapse.
“We know the creeper is in serious trouble, and we
urgently need to increase adult female survival,” Freed
said. “At a minimum, this will include controlling
Japanese white-eyes. Also, captive breeding may be
necessary to produce females that can be released into the
wild to restore the adult sex ratio.”

Persian is the official and national language of Iran,
and standard Modern Persian is spoken in Tehran, the
capital of Iran. The Persian language belongs to the West
Iranian language group, a subgrouping of Indo-Iranian
languages, which are part of the Indo-European language
family. The two dialects of Persian are Tajiki and
Dari, which are spoken in Tajikistan and Afghanistan,
respectively. Persian culture has produced thousands
of literary works and exquisite ancient art including
architecture, intricate tile works, finely woven carpets,
painting, pottery, calligraphy and modern art, including
cinema and music.
High-Energy Physicists Predict New Family of
Four-Quark Objects
An international team of high-energy
physicists says the discovery of an
electrically charged subatomic particle
called Zc(4020) is a sign that they have
begun to unveil a whole new family of
four-quark objects.
The Beijing Spectrometer (BESIII)
collaboration, which includes
scientists from UH Mānoa, previously
announced the discovery of a
mysterious four-quark particle called
Zc(3900) in April 2013.
“While quarks have long been known
to bind together in groups of twos or
threes, these new results seem to be
quickly opening the door to a previously
elusive type of four-quark matter,” said
Frederick Harris, a professor of physics
and astronomy and a spokesman for
the BESIII experiment. “The unique
data sample collected by the BESIII
collaboration has continued to yield
a stream of clues about the nature of
multi-quark objects.”
The recent breakthroughs by the
BESIII collaboration have come
about through a dedicated study of
the byproducts of the anomalous
Y(4260) particle.
Using the Beijing Electron Positron
Collider (BEPCII) in China, scientists
tuned the energy at which electrons
and positrons annihilate matter to
4260 MeV, which corresponds to
the mass of the Y(4260) particle. The
BESIII collaboration used this method
to directly produce and collect large
samples of the particle’s byproducts,
or decays.
This experimental method allowed the
BESIII collaboration to first observe
the Zc(3900) and then the Zc(4020).
Also recently spotted in the decays
is the electrically neutral X(3872), a
particle that has been experimentally
established for more than 10 years, and
has long been suspected to be a fourquark object.
“The year 2013 has so far been
an exciting one for the BESIII
experiment,” Harris said. “Using decays
of the Y(4260), a family of four-quark
objects has begun to appear. While
the theoretical picture remains to be
finalized, more and more clues are
suggesting that we are witnessing new
forms of matter. And while a new ‘zoo’
of mysterious particles is emerging, it
seems a new classification system may
soon be at hand to understand it.”
About the BESIII Experiment
The Beijing Spectrometer (BESIII)
experiment at the Beijing Electron
Positron Collider is composed of about
350 physicists from 50 institutions in 11
countries. U.S. groups include Carnegie
Mellon University, Indiana University,
The University of Minnesota, The
University of Rochester, as well as
physicists in the High Energy Physics
Group, in the Department of Physics
and Astronomy at the University of
Hawai‘i at Mānoa.

measured in the detector subsystems as they travel outward. The lines radiating out from the center of the detector are the many cables carrying signals to
the digitizing electronics. The blue iron endplates which act as the flux return for the strong superconducting magnetic field are approximately 15 feet high.

Graduate Student Protecting Endangered Species
Botany graduate student Seana Walsh
has been awarded the Eloise Gerry
Fellowship from the Sigma Epsilon/
Graduate Women in Science National
Fellowships Program to continue her
research on a critically endangered
Hawaiian plant endemic to Kaua‘i
and historically to Ni‘ihau—the
‘ōlulu, or “cabbage on a stick” plant,
Brighamia insignis.
The plant is considered one of
the most unusual in the Hawaiian
flora. In the wild, only one individual
16

is thought to survive, clinging to a sea
cliff along Kaua‘i’s Nā Pali Coast.
Using a small set of cultivated B.
insignis plants under the care of staff
at the National Tropical Botanical
Garden’s Limahuli Garden on
Kaua‘i, Walsh will observe the
plants during the day and night to
determine if any local pollinators
are visiting its flowers. If no wild
pollinators are found, handpollination may be the only way to
ensure its continued survival.
