  • Annual Report 2014
    UNIVERSITY OF GUAM UNIBETSEDÅT GUAHAN Society of Emeritus Professors & Retired Scholars The Society’s Eighteenth Annual Report (2014) Compiled by Cynthia B. Sajnovsky, Professor Emerita of Music, Secretary, SEPRS UOG SEPRS An Overview of the Society’s Eighteenth Annual Report (2014) I want to highlight the vitality that members of the Society of Emeritus Professors and Retired Scholars (SEPRS) have shown in numerous academic, research, and service activities. For many of the UOG community – but not all – their awareness of professors emeriti and retired scholars is “out of sight, out of mind.” Yet this report demonstrates how retired faculty continue to help the University achieve its mission for our community and the region. You can locate specific faculty which are listed alphabetically, and in- time we plan to insert a “search-link” function so you can easily click on a name. SEPRS has 53 current members, of whom half live on Guam (26) and half live off-island across the nation (27). Some of us show the affects of our age, yet3/4ths (38) are active members who participate in the Society’s quarterly meetings, donate to the University, or at least report their activities. In 2014, using IT teleconferencing video technology, we have had five (5) off-island members regularly join and participate in the Society’s quarterly meetings held in Emeritus Hall on-island. So what do these retirees do? Well nearly one-third of the members listed in this report are teaching and mentoring university students. For example at UOG that includes Filomena Contoria, George Kallingal, Lourdes Klitzke, and Milagros Moguel, and off-island take a look at Joyce McCauley.

  • Cook Islands 3
    COOK ISLANDS 3 Cook Islands Population: 14,000 Land area: 237 km2 Sea area: 1,830,000 km2 After frequent contact by Spanish, British and French explorers from 1595, Cook Islands was named by Russian cartographers in the early 1800s in honour of the British Captain James Cook. Cook Islands was formally annexed by New Zealand in 1900 and gained independence in 1965. The country is self-governing in association with New Zealand and Cook Islanders have rights to New Zealand citizenship. About 50–70,000 Cook Islanders live in New Zealand and about 10,000 in Australia. Potential of Cook Islands tuna fisheries The Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) estimated a total allowable catch (TAC) for the Cook Islands Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of 44,000mt for the surface fishery (purse-seine and pole-and-line) and 6,000mt for the longline fishery (Chapman 2001). A surface fishery has not been developed1 but there is a small longline fishery; the maximum annual catch (3,004mt in 2004) has remained below the TAC. This started out mostly as a distant water access fishery, but since 2000 distant water access has been banned as part of a domestic tuna industry development policy. The southern fishery is seasonal (particularly yellowfin), apparently affected by water currents, sea surface temperatures and algal levels in the waters (Mitchell 2001). In the southern fishery, the best months are August and November, with low catch months from January to March (MMR 2004). It is commercially viable to fish only from May to November (York, pers. comm.).

Sovereignty, Self-Determination and the South-West Pacific A comparison of the status of Pacific Island territorial entities in international law A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Laws at The University of Waikato by Charles Andrew Gillard The University of Waikato 2012 iii ABSTRACT This paper compares the constitutional arrangements of various territorial entities in the South-West Pacific, leading to a discussion of those entities‟ status in international law. In particular, it examines the Cook Islands, Niue, Tokelau, Norfolk Island, French Polynesia, New Caledonia and American Samoa – all of which are perceived as „Territories‟ in the international community – as a way of critically examining the concept of „Statehood‟ in international law. The study finds that many of these „Territories‟ do not necessarily fit the classification that they have been given.
