On Aug. 20, eight students from the Ethnobiology So-ciety on campus became the largest UH student-led expe-dition to summit Mauna Loa, according to Coral Bielecki, the society’s vice president. “The program’s mission promotes the adventurous scientifi c exploration of land, sea, air and space by sup-porting research and education in the physical, natural and biological sciences through active pursuit of physical fi tness, health and well-being,” said Bielecki, who is also the club’s student expedition leader. Bielecki also noted that the students are also members

of the Xplorer’s Hawai‘i program, which was began by the Ethnobiology Society in spring 2013 with a backpacking service-learning trip through Haleakala. The students spent the summer preparing for the 45-mile expedition following the ancient Ainapo Trail. “Mauna Loa was chosen because it is the largest mountain in Hawai‘i, and we chose the most diffi cult, un-trodden trail for the challenges it provides,” Bielecki said. The trail, which was used by ancient Hawaiians to make offerings to the goddess Pele during volcanic erup-tions, reaches an elevation of more than 13,680 feet and is known for its unpredictable and fast-changing conditions. “We prepared by doing step test, hiking steep lo-cal hikes like Koko Head Crater and Peacock Flats with

weighted backpacks. We also ran and had to stay active all summer,” ethnobotany major Daisy Mae Dean said. Dean joined EBS about two years ago because of its diverse group members and the various ethnobotanical activities and projects the club offers. According to Bielecki, some group members logged more than 250 miles of hikes to get ready for the ex-pedition. Ethnobotany major Melissa Walker prepared by “working out three to f ive times a week and hiking eight to 16 miles every week at dif ferent hiking trails.” The expedition tested the students’ physical and mental strengths.

“Physical, mental and spiritu-al growth are a natural extension of your drive to reach the top,” Walker said. “Not only are you transformed, but you get to wit-ness the metamorphosis in your teammates as a result of their ris-ing to meet the challenge, too.” But the purpose of the expe-dition wasn’t just a challenge to prove the students’ strengths. During the hike, each student col-lected individual data and ideas for further individual studies. “We collected photographic data of fl ora, fauna and the geolo-gy of the area,” Bielecki said. “We documented weather and physi-ological effects of the altitude.” The Mauna Loa expedition is Xplorer’s Hawai‘i’s second expe-

dition, and the group has more planned for the future. “We are moving our focus from land towards the sea for an exciting ocean adventure for this school year,” Bielecki said. “EBS will also continue to host speak-ers, offer workshops, do service-learning activities and go on hik-ing trips throughout the year.” According to Dean, any UH stu-dent can join the Ethnobiology Society. “As long as they have an open mind,” Dean said. “It helps if they know a little bit about their natu-ral world, but it isn’t necessary because we like teaching people about ethnobiology and science.” To join or learn more about the society, visit ebshawaii.org or email ethnobio@hawaii.edu.

BANANA AVOCADO COOKIESBANANA AVOCADO COOKIESKELLY SLOAN

Staff Writer Avocados taste great in cookies. Yes – cookies. They’re typical-ly found in foods like salads and burgers, but they can also replace butter in baked good recipes. Avocados contain many important nutrients and monounsaturated fats, making them a healthier sub-stitute for the usual butter or lard used in baking. For your next rec-ipe, substitute half the amount of butter in your recipe for mashed avocado. The result: baked goods that are more moist, delicious and tender.

INGREDIENTS• 1 1/2 cup all-purpose fl our• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda• 1/2 avocado• 1 large ripe banana• 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar• 1/2 cup granulated sugar• 1 large egg• 1 cup walnuts, chopped (or ½ cup chocolate chips)

INSTRUCTIONS1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray.2. In a small bowl, combine fl our and baking soda.3. In a large bowl, beat together egg, avocado, banana and sugars, until smooth. Add the flour mixture and beat until blended. Stir in walnuts.4. Spoon dough onto cookie sheet. 5. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned. Let cool for 5 minutes. Remove from baking sheet and serve.

LAUREL LEMONTT

Contributing Writer

The University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa is lacking one thing: school pride. People are so tattered from study-ing all night, second jobs, family chores and personal drama that they have that “you’re dead to me” look on their faces as they shove past. What I am saying is, we should be thankful for our university experience. Our main goal here is to get a de-gree of some kind, and UH is here to help us along the way, like giving us that part-time job scanning documents in a smelly mail room or giving you a scholarship. There is a need for school spirit, and it can impact your career and your long-term success. Successful people have to be experienced and knowledgeable in their f ields, but it also helps when they have others that are also invested in their suc-cess. UH Mānoa gives you multiple opportunities and encourages you to pursue your passions. Along with the faculty, staf f and student programs, your peers also care about your success. They will be other young pro-fessionals that could help you get a job.

Being social and involved in the school helps the reputation of your school, in turn helping you. When you graduate and you are apply for jobs (trust me, I have been out of school for fi ve years), there will be opportunities to describe your education. If you can recall events, projects, clubs, games, classes or even school spirit, then that at-titude might be the key to that job offer. Most companies want to hire positive, energetic and supportive members for their team. In fact, the last thing employers want is a passive, disgruntled employee who will only complain rather than take action. Interviewing students shows different perspectives. When asked why there is a lack of school pride, biochem-istry junior Ray Smith said “Maybe it’s because the football team hasn’t had that many successes in the past year.” “More recruitments” was his answer for how to im-prove campus pride. On the other hand, political science senior Dorecca Le-ota noted, “School spirit sucks because they only wait until game day… when it’s supposed to be throughout the week. Make a pep rally … the fi eld is available every day and eve-ning.’’ When asked about funding, she replied, “This is a school from a small island, but hello, we are going against

the big boys, the mainland schools. If I were ASUH presi-dent, I would spend some money to bring the spirit of the Wahine and the Warriors out … motivate the students that are not from here … make them feel welcomed ... If they win or lose you still gotta support them.’’ The university is one of the more powerful entities in this state – with ownership of land, protection of natural resources and involvement in businesses. I’m grateful that the UH Mānoa, rather than a foreign entity, controls thoseresources. I think it is an honor to be a student at this pub-lic school – not private, not a state school, not a single reli-gious denomination, but a place where all are welcome.

They say that revenge is a dish best served cold, and the Rainbow Warrior foot-ball team is looking to cook up some ven-geance on Saturday in Reno, where the ex-pected high is 66 degrees. Hawai‘i (0-2) still feels the sting from last season’s 69-24 trampling by Nevada, which left Honolulu only after scoring the most points against UH at home since 1950. “They smashed us at home – that’s per-sonal for us,” said senior defensive tackle Siasau Matagiese. “They came out and they played a great game, regardless of all the inju-ries that we were going through and whatnot. Not to make any excuses, but they got after us last year. So this year we’re coming back, getting ready to get a little payback.” Adding to the tension will be those man-ning the Wolf Pack’s sideline. Nick Rolovich joined Nevada as its offensive coordinator last season after four years at UH as the OC and quarterbacks coach. In the offseason, former Hawai‘i star wide receiver Ashley Lelie, who had spent the past two years on the UH coach-

ing staff, bolted to join his former teammate as Nevada’s offensive quality control coach. “They’re so familiar with the team and what’s going on here that it should be a little bit of a rivalry out here,” said junior lineback-er Julian Gener.

WOUNDED WOLVES Despite the result in last year’s matchup and starting this season with double-digit losses, the ‘Bows have reason to believe they may win the program’s fi rst road game since October 2011. Junior quarterback Cody Fajardo, who passed for 220 yards and a pair of scores in last year’s matchup, remains at the helm of UN’s offense. However, he missed the Wolf Pack’s 62-7 throttling by No. 10 Florida State last week due to a knee injury and could be out against UH. “We played the game (against Ne-vada) last year, and I was surprised at how fast he really was,” Matagiese said. “It takes a lot of stress off our D-Line try-ing to contain the QB. We can play a little bit more free this game (and) not really worry about him escaping out.”

Junior quarterback Devin Combs started the game but is now out for the year with a torn ACL. Third-string fresh-man Tyler Stewart, who went 7-for-15 for 49 yards and an interception against FSU, could be the starter against Hawai‘i. Nevada head coach Bill Polian is even considering sacrificing freshman Dante Mayes’ redshirt to have more options in case Stewart underperforms. Even if Fajardo plays, his injury will be sure to limit his mobility, which is cru-cial in Nevada’s pistol offense and result-ed in his rushing for 1,121 yards and 12 touchdowns last season. But it is not just the air attack that con-cerns Nevada’s offense. One player that the Rainbow War-riors should be relieved about not seeing is running back Stefphon Jefferson. The current Tennessee Titan scorched UH’s defense last season with 259 total yards and a Mountain West Conference record-seven touchdowns. The third team All-American is diffi cult enough to replace, but Nevada’s top two running backs, Don Jackson and Kendall

Brock, both missed last week’s game with injuries, which resulted in freshman Chris Solomon being tabbed as the feature back. “We’re preparing like we’re playing against their starters,” said Gener. “They’re a Division-I football team for a reason. By no means they can’t compete.” While injuries are quickly derailing Ne-vada’s season, Hawai‘i is on the opposite side of the coin. It used last week’s bye to rehab injuries to key players such as sophomore run-ning back Joey Iosefa and senior wide receiver Billy Ray Stutzmann, who led returning ‘Bows in rushing and receiving last season. “It was crucial for us, especially be-cause we got guys that got hurt,” Matagiese said. “The bye week allowed us to recover, get our bodies back. It also allowed us a whole other week to game plan on Nevada.”
