According to Campus Security Captain Alberta Pukahi, the campus community can help prevent thefts on campus. Here are some tips for faculty and students:• Campus departments must make sure their doors are locked when they leave, and students must remember to either secure or take their belongings with them. • Dorm residents should lock their doors whenever they leave.• Invest in good locks for your bikes; U-Locks and cable locks are highly recommended not only to secure, but also to serve as a deterrent for possible thieves. • Never leave out your belongings. The value of your property surpasses any amount of hassle it takes for you to secure or bring your things with you.

The Campus Security offi ce is located at 1951 East-West Road. Offi cers can be reached at 956-6911. For Campus Security’s Es-cort Service, call 956-SAFE. A map of the emergency call boxes on campus can be found at: hawaii.edu/uhmle/resources/PDFs/CallBoxes20100803.pdf.

Campus Security is warning students to secure belongings as theft on campus increases near the holiday season. According to Campus Security Cap-tain Alberta Pukahi, the increase in theft is normal during this time of year. Pukahi explained that Campus Security normally sees an increase in thefts right be-fore the holiday season and at the start of the semester. With an increase in population, there is an increase of property on campus. “It ’s a known fact that school is in ses-sion community-wide outside of UH as well, thus boosting the threat to students and their property,” Pukahi said. Seeing that these t imes of the year are the most popular opportunit ies for thieves, Campus Security wants stu-dents to be aware and pay more atten-t ion to their belongings. “The biggest risk is when you leave your property unattended,” Pukahi said. “Take responsibility for your property.”

CAMPUS SECURITY Statistics from the Campus Security clery log reveal that from Jan. 1 to Oct. 1 of this year, there have been a total of 151 thefts, 29 of which were bike thefts. “Although bikes are a popular theft item, this year has seen a dramatic decrease in bicycle thefts, mainly due to increased se-curity and community awareness,” Pukahi said. “This time last year, the theft rate was almost double what it is this year.

“Night after night offi cers are patrol-ling, working hard,” Pukahi said. “Offi cers are diligently locking up and patrolling, increasing security on campus which is a direct result of the decrease in the thefts.”

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT Between Oct. 1 and Nov. 9, there have been 21 cases of general thefts, most occur-ring at the Athletics Complex. Pukahi high-lighted that stopping crime does not only in-volve efforts from Campus Security, but also the campus community. “We really want people to call if they need help or see something,” Pukahi said. Pukahi and the Campus Security staff ask that both faculty and students contrib-ute to stopping crime on campus. Witness-es must call Campus Security if they see suspicious activities. Some thieves have been caught from tips Campus Security re-ceived from the community. “We’re here to help the university community,” Pukahi said. Campus Security has replaced 10 call boxes with working phones and a newly add-ed camera feature. The call boxes are taller with a blue light at the top that will fl ash when used with a direct line to the Campus Secu-rity offi ce for faster assistance. “I think it’s pretty awesome that Campus Security is just one phone call away,” senior Bree Foster said. “If you’re feeling scared or don’t want to walk home through campus, there’s the campus escorts. ... They’ll pick you up and take you back to the dorms of wher-ever you’re going, so you’ll be safe and not walk through the sketchy dark areas.”

You know it ’s a good show when an audience member gets a dissolved cook-ie dumped in their lap. The UH Mānoa theater department continues its 2013 Late Night season in the Earle Ernst Lab Theatre with a new production unlike what audiences may be accustomed to. “Queens of the Night” is an original show by Alex Rogals and Louise Hung, with Rogals contributing his direct-ing talents as well. “Queens” takes a simple premise and runs with it in a fast-paced, but endearing comedy abundant in physicality and attempts at French accents.

WE THREE QUEENS “Queens of the Night” is a drag show with depth. Set in pre-war France, the story is a

touching one: Two sisters are brutally mistreat-ed by their boss, the fearsome Madame, and have only each other to “lean on.” The show is based off of a real-life French double murder, and as such the play has a serious tone to it in spite of the antics onstage. The show is pre-ceded by a series of musical numbers by Amy Alyssa and Karissa Murrell Myers (known as “Kitty London”), which helps the audience get into the proper mindset for the spectacle about to unfold. Two men and one woman are playing three female parts. While this sounds like the lead-up to a bad movie or a Shakespear-ean drama, the setup is credible due to the talent of those on stage. The leading men are invested in their roles to the point that they have their very own alter egos. Christine is not played by Michael Do-nato (last seen on the main stage in “Big Love”), but by the glamorous “Eclaire de la

Malasada du Chocolat”; and rather than be-ing portrayed by Harold Wong (also seen in “Big Love”), Christine’s sister Lea is played by “Cookie Fortune,” while “Kassandra Dur-ham” (otherwise known as Serina Dunham of Rakugo fame) plays the Madame. Although playing drastically different roles from what anyone would expect, these three actors prove comfortable enough in their new skins to make “Queens” believable.

FRENCH IMMERSION Sticking with the precedent set by the Lab Theatre’s previous offering, “Wild Par-ty,” “Queens of the Night” attempts to bring audiences into the fold and convince viewers that they are actually watching a live show in a café somewhere in France. In addition to audience seating, there are additional chairs and tables set up so daring theatergoers can get even closer to the ac-

tion of the stage. By opting for the up-close and personal seating, audiences can expect to become part of the show itself, as actors break the fourth wall in unforeseeable ways. Whether drag shows are your thing or not, “Queens of the Night” is every bit as entertaining as it is ridiculous and is cer-tainly worth checking out.

Long live the queens: Long live the queens: ‘Queens of the Night’ ‘Queens of the Night’ at Kennedy Theatreat Kennedy Theatre

“Queens of the Night” has some sexu-ality and violence and is recommend-ed for mature audiences. The show starts its second weekend with an 11 p.m. showing on Nov. 22 and another 11 p.m. show on Nov. 23.

Hawai‘i has a vigilante roaming

its streets, waging war against the “plague” of home-

lessness that has hit the islands. While one traditionally thinks of

a vigilante as being outside the law, this particular man helps create the law.

Five-term Hawai‘i Representative (D) Tom Brower has ruthlessly destroyed up to 30 shopping carts used by the homeless for carrying possessions in the past two weeks with his trusty sledgehammer. “If I see shopping carts that I can’t iden-tify,” Brower said to the Honolulu Star-Ad-vertiser, “I will destroy them so they can’t be pushed on the streets.” One might judge this as being harsh, but he’s at least kind enough to remove the belongings from the cart before brutally smashing them, proving that littering isn’t his priority issue. Brower also holds a disdain for those sleeping in the streets. “If someone is sleeping at night on the bus stop, I don’t do anything,” he told the Star-Advertiser. “But if they are sleeping during the day, I’ll walk up and say, ‘Get your (butt) moving.’”

IN HIS DEFENSE Brower noted that he’s “disgusted” with homeless people, and this is his way of dealing out justice. He explains, “I got tired of telling people I’m trying to pass laws, I wanted to do something practical to help clean up the streets.” Brower ad-mits that he’s not “100 percent comfort-able” with his actions, but he feels what he is doing is right for the state. “I don’t want to be threatening to any-body,” he says. “I think it ’s threatening to steal things and then walk around with them like it ’s their own.” Evidently, Brower believes it ’s okay to smash things that don’t belong to you, though.

HOMELESSNESS EPIDEMIC Homelessness is admittedly an issue in Hawai‘i. We have the largest homeless popu-

lation in the country at an estimated 17,000 displaced people. According to the Homeless Service Utilization Report: Hawai‘i 2013, the Shelter and Outreach Programs served a to-tal of 13,639 individuals statewide. Lawmakers have attempted to address the issue, with legislation like the July 2013 Resolution 13-116, in which the Honolulu City Council considered programs to create hygiene centers for the homeless to bathe in, use the restroom and wash clothes. They had even taken extreme measures, as seen in the planning to provide $100,000 over the next two years to homeless for a one-way ticket off the islands which was later dropped in August.

HAMMERING IN THE POINT If Brower was going around suburban areas and smashing houses with bulldoz-ers, the common Hawai‘i resident might have more empathy for what the homeless are going through now. With the growth of widespread fi nancial instability, not every-one is able to afford housing in Hawai‘i’s im-possible real-estate. As a society, we must cease to perceive emotional differences between the home-less and the general population. Homeless man Edward Ferreira told Hawai‘i News Now that “To see someone banging on stuff like that, it was very scary for me.” Brower’s irrational reactions instill fear among the homeless community and en-courage acts of violence toward the thou-sands facing homelessness. Brower might even be getting himself into trouble. Connie Mitchell of the Institute for Hu-man Services said, “There are some people who are not that stable and maybe drug-affected that could really react to him.” Brower needs to realize that if he has an issue with the homeless population, he should focus on the issue from behind his desk - mak-ing laws. Executive director of Mental Health America of Hawai‘i, Marya Grambs, sums it up nicely: “His message to the public is that it’s okay to commit acts of violence against home-less people, against vulnerable people. It’s okay for vigilante justice.” When addressing Hawai‘i’s homelessness, perhaps Brower should take up new tools and build shelters instead.

JOEY RAMIREZ Sports Editor

Most athletes tend to avoid contact after recovering from an injury. But Joey Iosefa has greeted the physicality of foot-ball head-on, oftentimes literally. After running the ball just twice in Hawai‘i’s first eight games due to a foot injury, the junior has emerged as UH’s primary offensive threat. In the past two weeks, Iosefa tied – and then broke – the Rainbow Warrior record for most carries in a game with 35 and 37. Despite the amount of brutal hits that have come with such a workload, Iosefa maintains that slowing down will only hurt him in the long run. “I never worry, just go full speed at all times,” Iosefa said. “You get less injured if you go full speed. If you go half-ass, there’s an opportunity there for you to get hurt be-

cause you’re not going full speed when other people are going full speed.” With Iosefa injured, Hawai‘i established a pass-heavy attack that only ran the ball 36.6 percent of the time. Since his return, that number has rocketed up to 57.3 percent. “He’s a warrior,” senior wide receiver Chris Gant said. “He’s got people hang-ing off of him, people still banging into him and stuff like that.” While Iosefa’s stamina is the key to bearing such a heavy load, the effi ciency with which he runs has been a crucial factor in earning him so many carries. Iosefa ran for at least 150 yards in both of UH’s past two contests for a total of 341. Prior to his return, the Rainbow Warriors combined to run for 307 yards as a team in their previous four games. The ‘Bows also hadn’t had a 100-yard rusher since Iosefa ran for 106 against Colorado State in last year’s Homecoming game (Oct. 27).

“We were lacking some depth at the run-ning back position,” Gant said. “Now that he’s back, it sets us right.” “It ’s just the way I play,” Iosefa said. “It ’s the way I bring it to the offense. I just love to compete. It ’s all about me compet-ing, not the opponent.” After receiving bruises across his body from taking so many hits during games, Iosefa practices with caution to avoid an in-jury that could risk losing playing time. “I practice full speed, while at the same time being smart,” Iosefa said. “I listen to my body. I don’t wanna push it (and) get hurt again.” Iosefa, a Pago Pago native, credits his American Samoa upbringing for much of his fortitude. “One thing I learned back home is mental toughness,” Iosefa said. “The way the culture is, the way living is down there, is hard.” While the Warriors averaged only 2.4

yards per carry during Iosefa’s absence, the bulldozing running back has pounded opponents for an average of 4.7 yards ev-ery time he runs the ball. “We talked about it, but I’m not sure they understood how good Iosefa was,” said San Diego State head coach Rocky Long after his team’s 28-21 overtime victory against UH last Saturday. “You can say there is a 6-foot, 250-pound running back over there that is going to run over you if you don’t wrap up. But you don’t realize that in practice.”
