Good science or misinformation

GE class looks at why people believe faulty logic

A

new GE 120 course entitled “The Psychology of Unscientific Thinking” is helping students develop as wise consumers of information in an age of misinformation, according to Associate Professor Boyd Timothy, who teaches the new general education course.

“The major purpose of this course is for students to further develop as wise consumers of information through expanding their critical thinking and scientific skepticism skills in this age of misinformation,” said Timothy.

Together the class examines claims that can be addressed using the scientific method and the students are expected to develop and defend their own perspectives after examining various pieces of evidence on different topics.

“We’ve been looking at a lot of cases where people try to sell things and we see if the science behind them is true, like the balance bracelets,” said Emily Hoy, a freshman from Virginia who will transfer to another school after attending BYUH to study Spanish language.

Since this section of GE 120 is covered by the Psychology Department, a unique additional focus is for students to gain a scientific understanding of why humans have a natural tendency to harbor misconceptions about the world.

Timothy also added, “Our goal is to learn about the cognitive process involved in why people think superstitiously, fall for snake-oil salesmen, believe in implausible conspiracies, defend rather than correct our own bigotries, and why we tend to not accept scientific evidence that contradicts our preconceived or preferred beliefs.”

“It’s really a lot of fun trying to figure out different ways to test things and how everything works,” said Zoe Welliver, a senior from Canada studying communications. “It can be complicated, but it’s a good challenge.”

For Hoy, the class has taught her ways to think more critically of things. “Within the first week I already learned how to think more deeply and critically of things. I just tend to think a little bit more about things now.”

Timothy’s final hopes for the class is that students will learn how to avoid the pitfalls of unscientific thinking in their future, and thereby serve others more effectively.

The class is part of the Inquiry and Engagement section of the new GE requirements.

Ancient Bible manuscripts digitized

Students say access to them is extraordinary

BY RACHEL REED

T

he British Library in London and the National Library of Israel announced a joint project that will digitize and publish one of the oldest surviving Hebrew manuscripts of the Bible online, according to the Associated Press.

This manuscript dates back over 1,000 years. The manuscripts will be available online in a few years, according to AP.

Not only will this Bible, called the Gaster Bible, be available, but 3,200 other rare Hebrew manuscripts will be available at curious people’s fingertips, according to AP. The British Library and National Library of Israel will digitize the entire manuscript collection, one of the largest and most significant in the world, said AP. Both libraries have also partnered with other libraries with Hebrew manuscript collections across the world, reported AP.

Manuscripts in the collection date back to the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. They contain Hebrew literature, Bibles,

prayer books, biblical commentary, and texts on the Kabbalah, according to AP.

“It’s astounding to me,” said Teri Lee Bixby, a junior studying history with an English minor from New York. “Stuff like this happens and nobody really grasps the gravity of the situation. It’s crazy that what’s only been available to locate in Israel and Britain will now be available to the world.”

Kaliki Unga, a senior studying history with a minor in psychology from Hau’ula, said, “I think it’s great that they were able to collaborate together and digitize such a rare collection for everyone to access. Lots of research and new discoveries will be made with this collection by people all around the world.”

A lot of work will go into this project to bring manuscripts to user-friendly websites. “I know first hand how much work goes into selecting, digitizing, and creating user-friendly space where people can easily access it,” said

Unga, “having worked with our own University Archives and Internet Archives, one of the biggest online libraries on the web today.

Digitizing collections as rare as those Jewish documents must have taken a lot of manpower by trained professionals, and probably cost thousands of dollars. People don’t realize how much actually goes into digitizing books and then hosting it on a public domain. I’m sure they weren’t able to digitize everything they wanted just because how [of] much money it would’ve cost.”

Despite the writing being in Hebrew, students have expressed the desire to take a good look at the manuscripts.

“Whenever you go to a world history museum, you can’t read any of the languages that it’s in,” said Bixby. “But it’s still really awesome to just be a part of it and to be able to see an artifact that existed thousands of years ago, and just think of the people that wrote on it and the people

living around them and their whole lifestyle back then.”

Some of the manuscripts online will be available to scholars who can do new research and discover new information. “The information that may come from these manuscripts could change history,” said Unga. “That’s the most exciting part about new research being discovered and shared with everyone. It gives everyone a chance to do their own research and draw their own conclusions, instead of relying on one person or source and their opinion, that just so happened to be published in a popular high school history book used across the world.”

With the progress of technology, things like this project could be brought to life and more research can be done. Christine Burgess, a junior studying English from New Hampshire, said, “I think we live in an amazing era where we have access to all these things that people couldn’t even imagine.”

PRESIDENT Learning from the Past, Looking to the Future

P

resident John and Susan Tanner have started their administration at BYU-Hawaii with plans to learn all they can about the university and to build upon the strong foundations of their predecessors. “We’re committed to serve and that means to serve the people in the university and to the community,” said Sister Tanner. “We want to build positive relationships with the people of the community. We want to be seen as people who are willing and ready to give all we can to make a good spirit that is here.”

President Tanner admitted his love of teaching and learning, saying with a smile, “I’ve had some wonderful church callings, and the callings and the jobs that I love most are teaching. That’s what I really love to do.” Though he has had a lot of experience with administrative jobs that have prepared him to be President of BYUH, he said, “... who I really am is a teacher, masquerading as a president. I love to learn. I’m alive when I learn. It feels exciting to me to learn new things and to teach them to others.”

The Tanners have started to adjust to life in Laie, slowly learning how to pronounce street names and where they go and feeling the importance of the community. “Laie is especially important as a place,” said President Tanner. “It’s a place of refuge. It’s a place of gathering. But above all it’s a place where a temple of God has been established, and that anchors our spirits. That is what we should look to as a university committee, and as individuals, for setting, helping us know who we are.”

The Tanners are learning more about the importance of Hawaii in their own families. George Q. Cannon, who translated the Book of Mormon into Hawaiian, was Sister Tanner’s great-great grandfather.

Sister Tanner also discovered that her grandfather was a missionary in Hawaii and attended the Laie Temple dedication. President Tanner’s grandfather also served a mission in Samoa, and translated the Book of Mormon into Samoan. “I know this is a little far afield from Laie, but we sense the history of the place,” said President Tanner. “We’re grateful for that.”

Sister Tanner was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, and grew up on a dairy farm surrounded by family, while President Tanner was born in Salt Lake City but grew up in South Pasadena, California with 13 siblings.

After he finished serving a mission in Brazil, he went to BYU in Provo and met Sister Tanner. President Tanner initially wanted to become a lawyer but discovered he enjoyed English far more. “As I was writing a letter to law school, I decided I didn’t really want to go to law school. I wanted to continue to study English and teach. And so I ripped up my law school letter and decided to apply to graduate school,” President Tanner said.

He was accepted to U.C. Berkeley, and after careful prayer, he and Sister Tanner decided to attend, despite the lack of jobs.

To get through school, President Tanner worked various jobs cleaning married student’s apartments, flipping hamburgers at the

Cougar Eat, and working with the Honors program at BYU. At Berkeley, he worked as a night watchman and taught freshman English classes. “We both felt like this is what we should do, but we didn’t know how it was going to work out,” said President Tanner. “Our motto was from the song from John Henry Newman, ‘Lead, Kindly Light.’ There’s one line that means a lot to us, and it was, ‘The distant sea, I do not ask to see one step enough for me.’ And that one step enough was our theme.”

After receiving a doctorate in English, President Tanner taught English at Florida State University in Tallahassee before going to back BYU where Sister Tanner got her degree in humanities.

Both President and Sister Tanner have served the church throughout their lives. President Tanner served as bishop and stake president, mission president in Brazil and in the General Sunday School Presidency. Sister Tanner served as General Young Women President from 2002-2008. “When I talked to the incoming students the other night,” said Sister Tanner, “I talked about Nephi being called to build a ship. He never built a ship before and he didn’t know how but he went forward in faith trusting that the Lord will help him.”

Sister Tanner wrote in the margins of that story experiences similar to Nephi’s great task, such as becoming a mother, General Young Women’s President, writing a book, becoming a mission president’s wife, “and now, leading a university. These are ships that I’ve never built before, but when we got to the mountain and ask the Lord to help us, he does.”

President Tanner has shared his hope for the university. “I think that there’s a possibility in this community to be a Zion community,” he said. “Really, that’s the kind of thing I want to emphasize in my administration. We’re kind of a temple of learning, and we should look to the temple. The community looks to the temple with that sense of communion as Latter-day Saints. Become that kind of university; a Zion university. Zion people.”

THE KIWI COUPLE

BY R ACHEL REED

Roberts say if you put the Lord first, everything works out For new senior missionary couple Elder Mike and Sister Christine Roberts, Hawaii is like a second home. Originally from New Zealand, the Roberts moved to Hawaii so he could receive his Ph.D. in Japanese Linguistics from University of Hawaii at Manoa in the ‘90s. Now they have returned for their mission. “We thought we were very blessed we were able to come back,” said Sister Roberts.

Sister Roberts volunteers as a nurse in the health center and helps out with Title IX in the evening. Elder Roberts helps with teaching and curriculum development and also works in the area of policy review and development in Administrative Services.

The Roberts knew each other from a very young age. “My husband’s family was the second family baptized on the North Shore of Auckland in the 1950s, and my family was the third family to be baptized - so we grew up together,” said Sister Roberts.

“Growing up,” said Elder Roberts, “her brother was my best friend in church, and he was a bit younger than I was. She was kind of like an older sister, just a year older than me. Because we both liked dancing, we used to go to church dances together but there wasn’t anything between us.”

They were both engaged to other people when Elder Roberts left for his mission

to Japan. “Her engagement was broken off by her when she realized that this guy didn’t want to be active. He was just being as active as he wanted to be so he could marry her in the temple,” said Elder Roberts. “I was in the mission field when I got a ‘Dear John.’”

Elder and Sister Roberts became engaged one month after Elder Roberts returned from the mission field. He proposed after a date night in which his mother, brother and brother’s wife were present. “We talked half the night about different things,” said Elder Roberts. “We were talking about some things and the topic changed to how many children would we want to have, and I suddenly realized we weren’t talking hypothetically, we were talking about us. That’s when I said, ‘Maybe, before we talk about children we should talk about getting married.’ She looked at me and said, ‘Really?’ And she didn’t say no, she said, ‘When?’”

The Roberts married in August of that year, after a three-month engagement.

Elder Roberts went to school and became a schoolteacher when Sister Roberts became a nurse.

At the age of 28, Elder Roberts was called to be mission president in the Japan Tokyo North Mission. “I’d never had a position of senior responsibility in the church, like stake president or bishop or anything like that,” said Elder Roberts. President N. Eldon Tanner interviewed Elder Roberts on the phone and

asked him if there was a reason he could not accept the calling. “I thought about the fact we had only just moved into a new house, we had no money whatsoever, I had this obligation to the school for another two years, I could think of all sorts of reasons why it would be inconvenient, even ill-advised to accept if you didn’t believe in the church, but my mind went blank.”

They accepted the calling and had their third child three months before going to the MTC in Provo before going to Japan.

After he was released from service as a mission president, Elder Roberts served as a bishop and a stake president. He later was called as an Area Seventy in April 2008 and oversaw the Pacific Region, where he served for five years. Elder Roberts described that calling as “very spiritually rewarding, and very tiring.” Sister Roberts said, “We were 59, and it was almost time to think [about] selling the house and going on an mission. He got called to be an Area Seventy and he said, ‘Will this do?’ And I said, ‘That will do for five years.’”

After they were released, they came to Hawaii to serve on campus where they work with students and faculty. Though they have had tough jobs, their faith in the Lord stays strong.

Sister Roberts said as she observes students growing up, she reflected on her journey growing up with her husband, and raising a family. “I see people doing it now... knowing it’s hard to do. It's true that if you put the Lord first, everything will fall into place for you.”

oday I want to make a case for an attitude towards history that can help us develop empathy here in the present,” said BYU-Hawaii history Professor and University Archivist Matt Kester during the annual Convocation titled “History and Empathy” given on Aug. 6 in the McKay Auditorium.

Kester said, “I am suggesting that there is something deeply cathartic and human about extending an olive branch to someone who sees the past, and thus the present, differently than we do.”

Katie Grayson, a senior majoring in international cultural studies from Texas, said, “It’s important to develop empathy for other people’s versions of the past. That was my favorite part of his talk.” Kester suggested people should develop the ability to understand a version of the past that is different from their own.

Kester explained, “There is no history for history’s sake.” History is used to answer questions such as “Who am I?” and “Who are we?” He also said, ”History becomes stories for living.” Kester added how people and societies use history as a tool to unite and justify their understanding of why the world is the way it is.

About 200 BYUH students attended the Convocation as well as faculty and staff members. Jacob Moss, a junior majoring in music from Oregon, said, “I enjoyed Brother Kester’s talk. It actually made me think of my history and things that have happened in my life.” He also said, “I really liked the section about the bomb on Japan because he talked about conflicting history and how it was not necessary for both parties of the conflict.”

Kester explained, “Developing empathy for people long dead is actually not particularly difficult. Developing empathy for people who occupy the world with us in the present day is quite another matter...we often find ourselves in situations where reasonable people look at the same events and interpret them in vastly different ways.”

Part of the lecture was on a 1995 Smothsonian exhibit of the 1945 nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. There was conflict over the exhibit when veterens, politicians and others had different ways of fitting the incident into their understanding of the world at that time.

Referring to the sesquicentennial anniversary of the Laie, Kester finished his lecture by saying, “As we celebrate our history, let us strive for empathy.”

After being in Shanghai, China on an internship with the American Managing Association for a few months, Shipeng “Troy“ Ni said he learned “how to interact with people in a business setting.” A senior from China majoring in international cultural studies, Troy said his peacebuilding classes were “a huge help. I prepared myself to see others as people.”

Troy interned for approximately three months at AMA due to a recommendation from Arbinger. AMA partners with Arbinger, a consulting and training company that “helps people and organizations achieve breakthrough results through a profound change in mindset,” according to Arbinger.com.

The peacebuilding courses Troy took at BYU-Hawaii helped him prepare for better relationships. He said, “I was able to witness a lot of miracles like with the relationships between my colleagues. They told me after the first week I was the first intern they were interacting with. I guess in the company, the intern world and staff world are two different worlds.

They don’t really talk, laugh or joke around.

There is a rank, but I went in, made a good impression, broke the norm and we became good friends.”

He said his classes even helped with his roommates in Shanghai. “When I moved into the house, the three other roommates never talked to each other. They lived in the same apartment but different rooms. They would say ‘Hi,’ but that was it. So when I went in I just started thinking about seeing people as people and being tolerant. I started doing stuff with them like making meals for them and that was a game changer. It started at the point where no one talked to each other and then by the end, we all became best friends.”

While interning at AMA, Troy had the opportunity to go on a business trip with C. Terry Warner, co-founder of the Arbinger Institute, and Robert Morley, director of Arbinger Global Strategy, to Beijing and southern parts of China. Troy said, “They came to China to visit their clients and promote their Arbin-

ger seminars. AMA sent me to accompany them their entire trip. The American Training Magazine held a forum and a lot of training consulting companies went. It was a platform for companies to learn and customers to come and look at their products.”

His main role for the two-week trip was to ensure Warner and Morley were comfortable and everything went smoothly. Troy said, “Everything was already pre-arranged, but I was there to coordinate if they missed anything. I was able to translate as well. We went to the Great Wall of China and shopping.

I was pretty much their assistant.”

He said his internship at AMA was basic. “I would go into the office at 9 a.m. and start doing normal AMA work like student survey collection. I collected data and put it into a more sophisticated form for the teachers to understand. I was also sent for Arbinger, so I did double the work. For Arbinger, I did a lot of translation of films and videos.”

Lady Seasiders ready to bounce back

BY MATTHEW ROB ERT S

F

all is here, school has started, and once again it’s time for the BYU-Hawaii Lady Seasiders to take to the soccer pitch for their 2015 season. The Lady Seasiders started practice Monday, Aug. 10, and will have a couple weeks to prepare for their season opener in an exhibition game against Westminster (Pa.) on Aug. 25.

Last year’s season was marred by a lack of discipline in the closing minutes of the game and a lack of experience. After the disappointing four-win season, the Lady Seasiders will look to rebound and show that last year was merely a fluke.
