Athletics ‘signifi cant’ for economy, UH study suggests

The University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa Athletics Department is “signifi cant” to Hawai‘ i’s econ-omy, providing millions of dollars and hundreds of jobs for the state, according to a UH study.

The study, prepared by the Shidler College of Business, covered the economic impact of Mānoa’s athletics department for fi scal year 2013-14. It said the athletics department gen-erated $66.1 million in spending, which in turn generated $127.6 million in business sales, $36.9 million for Hawai‘ i workers, $7 million in state taxes and generated 864 jobs.

“Spending by [UH Athletics] on hotels for visit-ing teams created income for hotel workers and suppliers and owners,” the report said. “This income was then spent again in the economy. We call this the ‘multiplier effect,’ and in this study we measure these impacts.”

In addition to the athletics department’s $35 million budget, student-athlete and visitor spending as well as organizations such as Ahui Koa Anuenue, Na Koa, UH Bookstore and several others generated the $66.1 million in spending.

Each dollar of such spent of goods and services resulted in $1.98 in Hawai‘i business sales, $0.53 of additional income for Hawai‘i workers, $0.10 of state taxes and 14.01 additional jobs in Hawai‘i.

UH investigating basketball pot-smoking incident

University of Hawai‘ i Athletic Director Ben Jay announced that the athletic department is looking into an allegation that marijuana smoke in hotel rooms assigned to members of its men’s basketball team was the cause of $500 in cleaning fees.

The incident occurred during Hawai‘ i’s last road trip in Riverside, California. The ath-letic department then received the bill for the cleaning fees.

“I’ve been apprised of an incident in the hotel, but I can’t comment further,” Jay told the Hono-lulu Star-Advertiser Tuesday.

In one of the players’ assigned non-smoking

rooms, a smoke alarm alerted security staff. A manager at the Riverside Marriott Convention Center declined comment.

According to the Marriott’s website, there is a “room recovery fee for guests who do not com-ply in order to cover the extensive cost of restor-ing guest rooms to a smoke-free condition.” UH reported that the fee is $250 per room.

Jay declined to identify the occupants of the room in question, due to privacy issues. He also declined to reveal the number of players involved in the case.

Head Coach Benjy Taylor also declined com-ment on the investigation.

According to the Student-Athlete Handbook, the department may drug test athletes and sus-pend those found to be in violation.

UH associate vice president leaves for Texas

A University of Hawai‘ i system spokeswoman has left her position to seek a communications position in Texas, according to a UH release Thursday.

Lynne T. Waters, UH system associate vice president for external affairs and university relations, will start her position as vice presi-dent for university communications for the Uni-versity of Texas at Arlington on Feb. 27.

“Her dynamic approach to communications at the university has resulted in advancements on many fronts, especially video and social media,” said UH system President David Lass-ner. “Lynne will be greatly missed by the Uni-versity of Hawai‘ i. We know she will do well in her new role, and we wish her the best.”

During her tenure at UH, Waters directed the branding and launching of the Hawai‘ i Inno-vation Initiative. She also contributed to the marketing and branding of the university’s recruitment program.

“The University of Texas is getting a highly competent and respected professional as well as a very caring and ethical person,” said for-mer Hawai‘ i Gov. Ben Cayetano. “Texas’ gain is Hawai‘ i’s loss.”

UH coach inducted into St. Louis Baseball Hall of Fame

University of Hawai‘i Rainbow Warrior baseball head coach Mike Trapasso has been inducted into the Greater St. Louis Baseball Hall of Fame, according to an announcement Thursday.

“This is a great honor knowing how tremen-dous of a baseball city St. Louis is,” Trapasso

said. “So many great players and coaches have come from there. When people hear the name St. Louis they think of baseball because it is such a great baseball city.”

Trapasso, who is entering his 14th season with UH, led the ‘Bows to a 45-17 record in 2006and brought them to the NCAA Division I Base-ball Tournament that season – the fi rst time the ‘Bows played in the NCAA regional in 13 years.

That same year, he was named National Coach of the Year by the National Baseball Founda-tion and was a fi nalist for the College BaseballInsider National Coach of the Year award.

He has been the recipient of the Western Ath-letics Conference Coach of the Year on three dif-ferent occasions — 2004, 2006, 2012 — has an overall record of 382-360 with UH and recorded eight seasons with 30 or more wins in a season.

Trapasso played at Jefferson College and pitched in the 1984 College World Series. He played three years in the minors, reaching low class A with the St. Louis Cardinals.

UH law school, Peace Corps to launch fellowship program

The University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa William S.Richardson School of Law in partnership with the Peace Corps will launch a program, offering graduate scholarships to Peace Corps volun-teers “who completed degree-related intern-ships in underserved American communities,” according to a UH news release Thursday.

“The Coverdell Fellows Program gives returned volunteers the chance to build on their classroom experience by sharing their unique knowledge and skills with local orga-nizations in need,” said Hessler-Radelet Carrie, Peace Corps director.

The Paul D. Coverdell Fellows Program will offer selected fellows $3,000 per academic year in academic aid and will give them the oppor-tunity to pursue a juries doctor degree.

“The William S. Richardson School of Law is well suited to host and educate Coverdell Fel-lows because we are an unusually small yet exceptionally diverse law school community with programs focusing on international law and the law of Asia and the Pacifi c as well as on American, indigenous and environmental law,” said Avi Soifer, law school dean.

Fees to increase for dental, nursing students Curriculum adjustments, less state funding spell higher costs for students

SAMANTHA FEYEN / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

The fee for dental students has not increased since its implementation in 1999.

M O R E I N F O

● The School of Nursing and Den-tal Hygiene professional fee was implemented in 1999 at $500.

● The nursing fee increased to $1,000 in 2006.

● Under the proposal, undergrad-uate nursing students would pay $2,000 per semester for a maximum of six semesters.

● Under the proposal, undergrad-uate dental hygiene students would pay $1,000 per semester for a maximum of six semesters.

The amount of funds from the state Legislature have decreased $60 million in the last fi ve years.

SHIWANI JOHNSONSTAFF WRITER

The School of Nursing and Den-tal Hygiene (SONDH) is expecting to increase students’ fees due to changes in curriculum, a large defi -cit and support for services already in place to aid students.

The fee will increase from the current $500 to $1,000 per semes-ter for dental hygiene students and $1,000 to $2,000 per semester for nursing students.

“As a public university [and] as a land grant university, affordable edu-cation is the most important thing,” said an Meisenzahl, media spokes-person for the University of Hawai‘i system. “Unfortunately, under the current budget constraints, the real-ity was they needed to impose this fee increase.”

WHY THE INCREASE?According to Meisenzahl, the

increase in fees comes from a change in curriculum and the need to support resources offered to students without increasing the already sizable defi cit at SONDH, all in a decreased income environ-ment for UH Mānoa.

”The amount of funds from the state legislature have decreased $60 million in the last fi ve years,” he said.

Proof of this can be seen in the UH system’s increase in tuition on its different campuses, from UH Hilo to KCC. At SONDH specifi cally, money is needed to pay for the style of class, being lab classes.

“The curriculum change included more lab work, more clinical work; which meant more staff, more faculty and the school had to cover those increases. Unfortunately, it resulted in this fee,” Meisenzahl said.

A lab class is longer than the aver-age class, ranging from three hours to eight hours for SONDH students. With the increase in time comes a decrease in class size; for example, one teacher to six students.

In the clinical fi eld, a smaller class size improves the interaction between the teacher and student, which benefi ts the education each student receives. SONDH has made up for the smaller class size by hir-ing more teachers with the curric-ulum change, going from a staff of 74 to 82, according to Meisenzahl.

Besides the change in curricu-lum, money is needed to sustain resources created to aid SONDH stu-dents. One such example of student services is the Translational Health Science Simulation Center, located on the fourth fl oor of Webster Hall.

The Simulation Center utilizes state-of-the-art equipment to guide students through real-life situations, which are monitored by teachers and staff, and the use of real-time

data and observation techniques allows the students to receive con-structive feedback. The Center allows SONDH students to become acquainted with the hospital envi-ronment, as well as the more per-sonal aspects of clinical work.

According to UH News, the Department of Theater and Dance and the Department of Nursing have created a partnership through the Simulation Center called Health-

CAST. Theater students and nursing students act out hospital situations, which prepare students for future doctor-patient interactions.

NO BACKSLIDING SONDH has a $1.6 million defi -

cit, according to Hawaii News Now. This, in part, comes from the need to stay up-to-date with the demands of the clinical fi eld. It is considered separate from the defi -cit of UH Mānoa as a whole.

According to Meisenzahl, all schools and colleges within the UH Mānoa system have been impacted by reduced budgets. Although $30 million has been raised through tui-tion increase to cover the universi-ty’s budget, it still falls short of what the university needs. Because of this,

schools and colleges within UH have needed to look for other ways to cover expenses.

Meisenzahl also said that this increase will also ensure that the school does not raise its shortfall. He assured students that 100 percent of the fees collected go to SONDH.

A NEEDED FEE “It’s unfair that even though it’s

our last year, we will still have to pay the fees. We are basically pay-ing for everyone that comes after us,” said Alyssa Harada, who will be completing her last year in the nursing program when the fees are implemented.

The suddenness, as well as the quantity of the increase raised questions and concerns from stu-dents in both schools. In an inter-view with Hawaii News Now, students questioned the decision to implement the increase all at once versus in increments, which would make it easier for students to understand and afford.

Meisenzahl said that incremental implementation had been consid-ered, but with the need to support faculty increase, clinical work and more, SONDH could not afford to space out the increase in revenue.

“As soon as this became appar-ent, in early fall of 2014, the Dean of the Nursing School met with every nursing class, met with the student board of Dental Hygienists and had been explaining why this was nec-essary,” he said.

The dean of the Nursing School,

Mary Boland, was unavailable for comment on the topic of the fee increase.

The SONDH fee increase has yetto be implemented, according to Meisenzahl. It is being reviewed by the UH Mānoa Offi ce of Student Affairs. Afterwards, it has to be approved by the UH Mānoa Chan-cellor, the UH system president and the Board of Regents before itbecomes offi cial.

DREW DEBROSTAFF WRITER

With a desire to more consis-tently align himself with a party that represents his political and philosophical beliefs, Rep. Aaron Ling Johanson switched from the Republican to the Democratic Party in December.

“As a college student at Yale, I wanted to be different, and when I started my career here in Hawai‘ i, I intended to take a that alternate path, go against the political grain and run as a Republican,” Johan-son said. “I fi gured it would give me maximum independence, but in the longer moments that come along, one has to ask themselves if any organization they belong to accu-rately refl ects their beliefs.”

Johanson represents Hawai‘ i’s 32nd district (Aiea, Moanalua, Fos-ter Village, Fort Shafter).

SWITCHING PARTIESJohanson announced his intention

to switch parties on Dec. 29. Accord-ing to a Hawaii News Now article, following his reelection in 2014, all eight Republicans in the state House were unable to hold their meetings because some wanted to replace Johanson as minority leader, claim-ing he was “too collaborative” with the Democrats.

According to Johanson, reactions from fellow politicians, with a few exceptions, were relatively positive.

“My Democratic supporters expressed considerable happiness, Independents did the same and even Republicans have told me,

‘We’re voting for you, we wish you were still a Republican but you’re still the same person,’” Johanson said. “The real barometer will be during the next election; it’ll be up to the voters as to whether they want to retain me or not.”

Johanson claims that he was

driven from the state Republican Party because he observed a lack of acceptance for ideologies differ-ent from the party’s own.

“I spent quite a bit explaining why not taking a statesmanlike approach was the best, most con-structive way to engage govern-ment, and there were others who wanted a much more combative, oppositional tone because they felt that it was more appropriate to play the role of the loyal opposi-tion,” Johanson said.

Johanson believes the state of Hawai‘ i’s political and cultural diversity and local customs dictate that aiming for common ground is better-received than relentlessly pursuing one’s own policy ideas.

But don’t take Johanson’s word for it – the representative encourages young people, students in particular, with an interest in policy develop-ment and government to get involved at the legislature by any means nec-

essary to help them more accurately gauge their ideologies.

“College is a great time to exam-ine those beliefs, I would say get involved at the legislature, get involved in people’s campaigns, see whether you agree with them or not and see what it’s like to be

politically active. It’s easy to cling to political platitudes and plat-forms; it’s different when you actu-ally have to argue a specifi c policy or see what its effects, both pos-itive and negative, will be on real people,” he said.

Originally from Montana, Johan-son moved to Hawai‘ i at the age of six and is an alumnus of Moanalua Elementary, Middle and High School and went on to graduate with hon-ors from Yale University in 2002 with a Bachelor of Arts in History. He went on to occupy distinguished positions within the federal gov-ernment, including Deputy Chief of Staff of the U.S. Mint and Associate Director of the White House Offi ce of Presidential Personnel.

In 2012, Johanson returned to Hawai‘ i to run for state represen-tative, defeating Democratic chal-lenger Eleanor Lei Sharsh with an approximate 30 percent margin. In 2013, he was elected House Minority

Leader and trumped Sharsh once again in the November 2014 elec-tion, this time with a margin of nearly 44 percent.

THE STATE’S TOP PRIORITIESAs a member of the House Com-

mittee on Labor and Public Employ-ment, Johanson lists homelessness and addressing the cost of living in Hawai‘ i as top priorities going into the new legislative session.

“People universally feel like poverty is a problem, but it often doesn’t get a lot of attention, even though those issues are typi-cally the root causes of the things that do receive attention. So in that sense, it’s important to com-municate the need for things like opportunity and increased access to education, ... the things we more visibly see,” he said.

Johanson sees the development of early childhood education as a proactive strategy to build informed and educated citizens out of the next generation that are self-suf-fi cient and prepared for the aca-demic and professional world.

“Education is very important in a person’s ability to better them-selves and increase their access to economic opportunities,” Johan-son said. “That’s something we can do as a state is to ensure all peo-ple have access to that opportunity later in life to pursue the type of life and career that they want to,” Johanson said.

To ensure that every resident of Hawai‘ i is provided with access to high-quality early education, he urges the inclusion of teachers,

rather than lawyers or education specialists, in the process of educa-tional policy making. To this effect,Johanson is co-sponsoring House Bill (HB) 780, a bill that wouldrequire at least one board mem-ber to have taught over fi ve yearsof K-12 education prior to election and appointment to the Hawai‘ i school board.

“I was a proponent of the schoolboard and now we get a lot of peo-ple who are great at education management, but it helps to havethat classroom experience when a person is serving as that managerof the department of educationso that that perspective is repre-sented,” he said.

Rep. switches parties because of beliefs

MATHEW URSUAPHOTO EDITOR

UH’s student senate voted down a measure Jan. 28 that would have eliminated the senate’s invest-ments in fossil fuel companies.

The decision comes two weeks after the University of Hawai‘i Board of Regents (BOR) authorized a task force to study withdrawing invest-ments in fossil fuel companies and as universities across the country eye similar moves.

Associated Students of the Uni-versity of Hawai‘i at Mānoa (ASUH) struck down the divestment bill fol-lowing 45 minutes of testimony. All of those who testifi ed during the meeting were in favor of divestment.

“It’s kind of ridiculous that our student government is actively opposing positive change,” UH Mānoa student Mark Ryan said after testifying before student senators.

The senate passed another bill, introduced by Sens. Krista Ann Lee and Sean Mitsui, which allows ASUH’s fund managers to invest in all legally tradable stocks and bonds, including those for oil companies.

About six and a half percent of ASUH’s portfolio consists of invest-ments in energy companies, accord-ing to a Merrill Lynch investment adviser present at Wednesday’s meeting.

Faced with two opposing res-olutions, student senators voted to pass the bill that supported investing in legally tradable stocks and bonds – a move some sena-tors believe will keep ASUH’s fund strong for years to come.

Others, including Mitsui, said divestment would require ASUH to revise its approach to investment.

“It was very irresponsible for us in trying to fi gure out what would be a good investment strategy during this meeting,” he said on Facebook after the meeting.

Wednesday’s decision pits ASUH against the university’s regents, who approved a task force to study divesting from fossil fuel related stocks at a meeting early January. That decision followed a divestment petition that was signed by over 1,000 people and 18 people testify-ing in person before the board.

Before voting began, senators

heard testimony from around 10 students. Many called for ASUH to divest its portfolio — valued at around $8,253,382 — from fossil fuel companies and to act more in favor of sustainability.

UH Mānoa student Mark Ryantestifi ed in favor of divestment.

“We all know that fossil fuels are a huge contributor to climate change. The evidence is there,”Ryan said.

Ryan said he understood whyASUH voted the way it did, but dis-agreed with the decision.

“I can understand; it’s just igno-rance. The world that they know in there is business and economics;the world that we know is environ-mental justice,” Ryan said.

Ryan said ASUH’s divestingwouldn’t affect the multibillion dol-lar oil companies much, but wouldstill send a message.

Graduate Student Organization President Michelle Tigchelaar, who also testifi ed Wednesday, said that divesting would enable ASUH tobring its operational practices inline with its mission.

The real barometer will be during the next election; it’ll be up to the voters as to whether they want to retain me or not.

With fl u season underway, Hawai‘ i residents and the UH Mānoa campus have seen an increase in the number of fl u cases.

“The weekly absolute number of cases is roughly 4-times greater than we typically see over the course of the year, but not unusual for this time of year,” said Andrew Nichols, Univer-sity Health Services Mānoa (UHSM) director, in an email interview.

Anticipating a “worse than normal” fl u season, UHSM ordered an ample supply of fl u shots last summer.

Hawai‘i tends to experience a rel-atively late fl u season compared to places on the mainland, according to Nichols. UHSM anticipates that the fl u season will stretch well into the spring semester but it is prepared to meet the demand for services cre-ated by campus fl u cases.

According to Hawaii News Now, emergency rooms, urgent care clinics and private physicians are

all working with a higher volume of patients who have the fl u.

FLU IN HAWAI‘I According to Deputy State Epide-

miologist Dr. Melisa Viray, every fl u season has had an increase in fl u cases. While the most common ill-ness being recorded is infl uenza, a small amount of other respiratory illnesses are also being logged.

The Hawai‘ i State Department of Health (HDOH) monitors infl uenza and other respiratory pathogens

throughout the state. Its reports are reliant on sentinel health practi-tioners, the State Laboratories Divi-sion, private laboratories and the Offi ce of Health Status Monitoring.

According to the latest report, which collected data from Jan. 4 to Jan. 10, outpatient visits related to infl uenza are lower than the previ-ous week. A total of 12,492 speci-mens were tested for infl uenza type A and type B during the 2014-2015 fl u season, which started in Octo-ber. Out of the 12,492 specimens tested, 1,595 were found to be pos-itive. The two most common age groups to test positive for infl uenza were 5-24 years of age and 65 years of age and older.

The HDOH has come up with an infl uenza watch as part of a com-prehensive infl uenza surveillance system and to prevent the spread of contagious respiratory diseases in humans.

PREVENTING THE FLUTo avoid contracting the fl u, Viray

suggests getting a fl u vaccine, regu-larly washing hands and staying at home for at least 24 hours if sym-toms of the illness appear.

According to the University Health Services Mānoa’s website, the clinic offers fl u shots to avoid getting infl uenza and other respi-ratory illnesses. Students can walk in and get service Monday, Tues-day, Thursday and Friday: 8:30 a.m. - 12 p.m. and 12:30 p.m. - 4 p.m. and Wednesday 8:30 a.m. - 12 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. - 4 p.m.

Vivian Wei, a senior majoring in communications, got her fl u shot at UHSM four months ago.

“I felt sick for a week after the shot, but have not got the fl u since I got the shot,” she said.

Avree Ito-Fujita, a senior study-ing creative media, had a case of the fl u three weeks ago.

“I went to my doctor and he said it was the fl u, but did not elabo-rate on it,” she said. “I believe the vog [volcanic smog] made it worse.”

Flu outbreak in Hawai‘ i

FADI YOUKHANAMANAGING EDITOR

Last October, a broken air con-ditioner left the microbiology lab on the fourth fl oor of Snyder Hall humid and uncomfortable.

Department chairman Maqsudul Alam heard about the problem and visited the sweating students to apologize. They appreciated his sincerity and sympathy. When the students returned to class the fol-lowing week, a new air conditioner was installed.

“He would go far out of his way to help, regardless of whether you were a high school student looking for a science fair project, an under-graduate who needed help with microbial physiology or a fellow professor with any of a range of sci-entifi c or other questions,” associ-ate professor Stuart Donachie said.

Alam passed away on Dec. 20 at Queen’s Medical Center after suffering from liver cirrhosis. He was 60 years old.

“Max was a brilliant scientist and a man of creativity. He was truly a great leader,” said William Ditto, Dean of the College of Nat-

ural Science. “I am so grateful to have known him during my time here at UHM.”

Ditto described Alam as a “fan-tastic” department chair.

“It was his mixture of integrity and intellect that impressed me fi rst, but later he became a true trusted friend and colleague. He will be sorely missed.”

Donachie, who knew Alam for 17 years, described him as a driven

scientist who brought big projects to the University of Hawai‘ i.

“When he had a new idea or a plan, he would grin while spelling it out step by step. Then he would clasp his hands together, look right at you with a big smile on his face, and ask what you think,” Donachie said.

Alam, who hailed from Farid-pur, Bangladesh, was laid to rest at Kāne‘ohe Muslim cemetery.

“He’s a really loving and dedi-

cated husband and a responsible dad,” his widow Rafi a Hasina said. “He wanted to help people. He was always thinking about humanity and what ways he can try to help.”

According to his collegues, one of Alam’s greatest accomplishments as a scientist was his leading role in decoding the jute plant genome sequencing.

“Dr. Alam really had a passion for research; anyone who came into

contact with him could immedi-ately feel this. His mind was always working 24/7,” Ph.D. student Jenni-fer Saito said.

“Late-night emails or calls to discuss some idea that popped into his head were normal. Even during the last conversation I had with him in the hospital, he wasn’t concerned about himself but rather about the progress of each project we were running.”

Back in 1998, Saito fi rst met Alam through a Microbiology 130 course. According to Saito, Alam’s enthusi-asm was the main reason that led her to study microbiology.

“Dr. Alam was so energetic and always on the go. He had a no-non-sense attitude and was not afraid to speak his mind even if it would sometimes rub people the wrong way. He could be tough at times, but many of us were fortunate to see his fun side too,” Saito said.

Prior to his time at UH, Alam worked as a researcher and taught

at Moscow State University, theAcadamy of Sciences in Moscow,Germany’s Max Planck Institute andWashington State University.

“He [also] established theAdvanced Studies in Genomics, Pro-teomics and Bioinformatics (ASGPB)for UH, discovered a novel myo-globin-like protein in the ancientbacteria (Archaea), completed thegenome sequencing of the trans-genic papaya,” said Shaobin Hou,Ph.D., who knew Alam since 1992.

In addition to his 20-year careerat the University of Hawai‘ i andhis time in Russia, Alam workedwith scientists in Bangladesh andwas the director of the Center forChemical Biology at Universiti Sainsin Malaysia.

“He was a great scientist, mentorand friend,” Saito said. “He taughtme a lot over the past 12 years,not only in research, but also lifein general. I will be forever grate-ful for all the opportunities andsupport he has given me. His lastpiece of advice was to enjoy lifebefore it’s too late.”

LEILEI JOY SHIHCONTRIBUTING WRITER

At its fi rst meeting of the year on Jan. 8, the Board of Regents (BOR) Budget and Finance Committee unanimously voiced support for divestment from fossil fuels. The conversation continued with the full board on Jan. 22 addressing the appointment of a task group and reviewing BOR policies on invest-ment and sustainability.

Climate change is the most important issue of the century. In his 2015 State of the Union address, President Obama affi rmed that no challenge poses a greater threat to future generations than climate change. Just months prior to that, the Pentagon reported that climate change is the greatest threat to national security.

Divestment acknowledges this by purging endowments and pension funds of fossil fuel investments and takes the fossil fuel industry to task for its culpability in the cli-mate change crisis.

The BOR encountered diversity of support behind fossil fuel divest-ment receiving 477 pieces of writ-

ten testimony. The parallel efforts of students, faculty, staff, alumni, community and groups such as 350.org Hawai‘ i and Sierra Club O‘ahu and student groups Sustainable UH and Graduate Student Organization (GSO) also refl ect the reach of the impact of climate change.

The conversation about climate

change is important for Hawai‘ i because rising sea levels, intensi-fi ed by more frequent and stron-ger tropical storms, are capable of fl ooding our shorelines and homes. Rising temperatures threaten eco-systems of both surf and turf, put-ting Hawai‘ i’s already fragile and endangered native species at fur-ther risk. Whatever else we pri-oritize in the state — tourism, economy, seafood — is moot in the face of climate change, which will negatively impact all of the above unless we implement global and

local agreements to curb carbon emissions.

Cities like San Francisco, Califor-nia; Providence, Rhode Island and Oxford, England have divested from fossil fuels, as have 20 colleges and universities.

Here at home, UH’s own GSO passed a resolution in support of

divestment, with zero members vot-ing against.

But UH Foundation may be resis-tant. Echoing common misconcep-tions about fossil fuel divestment, the foundation has suggested that removing fossil fuel investments from current commingled funds would be an insurmountable chal-lenge, which would not be able to sustain investment growth rates. Investment management compa-nies, on the other hand, offer green and socially conscious mutual funds to meet the growing demand

of forward-thinking investors.Bank of England Governor Mark

Carney warns that fossil fuel assets will be signifi cantly devalued if we reach a global deal to tackle cli-mate change. Such a deal seems closer every day, with the United States and China recently announc-ing a historic climate change agreement that will curb carbon emissions. There is nothing secure about investing in fossil fuels.

Several studies have quantifi ed the fi nancial impacts of divesting from fossil fuels, fi nding, in aggre-gate, no evidence to suggest that a fi nancial portfolio would either incur signifi cant risk or improve-ment of endowments.

Real examples complement these analyses. Scientists tracked the endowments of three univer-sities that have already divested: Sterling College, Naropa University and the Foothills-De Anza Colleges in California. One year later, in the fi rst and third cases, their returns and endowments grew; in the sec-ond, there was neither a negative nor positive change in portfolio.

The Rockefeller Brothers Fund, run by heirs of an oil fortune, have

invested in the future and aban-doned fossil fuels by divesting their $860 million fund from fossil fuels. In May 2014 Stanford University also announced the divestment of its $18.7 billion endowment of stock in coal-mining companies. Our own distinguished Regent Helen Niel-sen said she herself had divested years ago.

Notably, the Mission and Pur-pose of the University of Hawai‘ i,the UHM Strategic Plan (2011-2015)and the UHM Sustainability Policy (2012) all contain commitments to clean energy and sustainability.

The University of Hawai‘ i is theepicenter of intellectual leadership in the state and is thus poised forfostering the success of future gen-erations. The sooner we free our-selves from fossil fuel dependencein every form we can, the more secure our economic and environ-mental situation will be, and thegreater the benefi ts we will reap while minimizing the local impactsof climate change. The endowmentshould be an investment in thefuture, while fossil fuels belong in the past.

Last month, a high-ranking Hono-lulu Liquor Commission employee Dexter Suzuki sent a controversial joke to his co-workers: a cartoon of a hooded person carrying a base-ball bat with the caption “Shopping in Ferguson? Let’s go Christmas shopping.” Following a complaint by an African-American employee, the agency took disciplinary action against Suzuki.

The offended person did an unfor-tunate disservice to the noble cause of equality and raising awareness of America’s still-rampant racism.

RACIAL INJUSTICE“You come so far in civil rights,

and you would think people will respect people’s ethnicity, and then this happens,” attorney Daphne Barbee said for Hawaii News Now.

It is interesting that the story was

worded in terms of racial injustice as though it was clear the perpet-uators of the Ferguson lootings belonged to a particular ethnicity.

“Racial and ethnic violence

everywhere has a history of being stoked by the kind of vicious ste-reotypes the cartoon expresses,” University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa Ethnic Studies professor Noel Kent said. “It is both insulting and threatening to people who feel at risk of being racially profi led and assaulted by police and vigilantes.”

As we can see from both the video and the still, the cartoon does not depict an African-Ameri-can person. If there is any race in the (admittedly bad) drawing, it’s a

light-skinned one. This oversensitivity is admittedly

defensible because black Ameri-cans are routinely victims of preju-dice and microagression. The events

at Ferguson from August 2014, along with a barrage of similar incidents, demonstrate the racial profi ling and outright violent discrimination against African-Americans by the many communities’ police forces. This is wrong.

However, such racial oversensi-tivity is petty in Hawai‘ i for two rea-sons: One, our tolerant and diverse state is far removed from the dan-gers exposed by these events on the continental U.S., and two, it may be virtually impossible that the

person who sent the cartoon – him-self a minority on a national scale as a Japanese-American – ascribed any racial signifi cance to the draw-ing. We may question the good taste and judgment of the car-toon, as it sanctions looting (and, frankly, is not a very good joke), but an underlying racist statement in it seems far-fetched.

Here may be the most harmful outcome of this overly sensitive issue – by getting offended, the person implicitly acknowledges that the looting in Ferguson was perpetuated only by African-Amer-icans. Based on this evidence, one may conclude that they did it because of their ethnicity and not because of anger-induced anti-so-cial sentiments, thuggish personal-ities, poverty, crowd psychology or other reasons.

Because there is nothing in the cartoon that speaks directly of eth-nicity, those who see one in it must be basing their judgment on tan-

gential evidence – the hood, the baseball bat and the caption. Tosee racism in the cartoon’s senti-ment is also to acknowledge theperipheral objects and the captionare characteristic of African-Amer-icans. Essentially, by becoming offended and complaining, the person identifi es African-Ameri-cans with these thugs. Sometimesplaying the race card may backfi reembarrassingly.

Huffi ngton Post recently released a video from which we can see all sorts of demographics looting a small convenience store in Fergu-son. Being a thug doesn’t come with an ethnicity but with a combina-tion of upbringing and social situ-ation. The person who got offended by Suzuki’s email is denying us this realization. This is unfortunate in our contemporary world because one important part of transcending racism is transcending self-vilifi ca-tion and victimization.

MCKARL MANUELCONTRIBUTING WRITER

Comedian, black pride activ-ist, and actor: Bill Cosby is well known for all of these roles. How-ever, recently, his name has been used in another context – Bill Cosby, the sexual offender. It is

hard to believe the comedian has done everything he is accused of. It seems suspicious that he was never caught despite allegedly committing predatory behavior throughout his career and that many of his victims spoke out 30 years after the alleged crimes.

THE MANTo this day, we know Cosby for his

many roles and his stand-up com-medy career. An actor and come-dian, he was one of the titans of 20th century American comedy. He has entertained the nation since the 1960s and has not yet shown any signs of stopping. But recently, Cos-

by’s career has experienced some bumps on the road. More than 20 women have come forward to claim the comedian is a sexual offender, with the earliest allegation going as far back as the 1960s.

However, the most important question is if Cosby is a sexual predator. The possibility exists, yet as long as it remains a possibility and not a certainty, Cosby deserves the benefi t of the doubt. Even when considering the overwhelming num-ber of witnesses, their persuasive

power remains questionable due to the lack of additional evidence.

COSBY’S CAREERCosby has denied each of these

accusations, and evidence to be provided with the intention of defending him is still pend-ing. However, with accusations of

assaults as far back as the 1960s, the comedian is still telling jokes and making shows. More than 40 years later, he remains. If the alle-gations are true and Cosby’s sexual assault history is nearly as old as his career in showbiz, then either the man is very skilled at hiding it, or he is no sexual predator. How

skilled in hiding can a public fi gure like Cosby be? Perhaps Cosby is not in jail because he is not a criminal.

EMPTY ACCUSATIONSIn addition, many of the supposed

victims’ chances to incriminate the predator were lost when they did not accuse him immediately.

“It never occurred to me to go to the police,” philanthropist and Huffi ngton Post writer Cindra Ladd said. “Other than my roommate, I did not discuss that night with anyone for 36 years.”

I don’t believe it is possible for the thought of speaking out against Cosby to never occur back when the events were fresh in Ladd’s memory. In this case, as in many others, there is no persuasive evi-dence to make the accusation into something more substantial.

Other allegations have been shown to be false. Recently, Las Vegas stripper Chloe Goins accused Cosby after a number of other women did. However, the come-dian has evidence that he was thousands of miles away when the alleged crime happened.

It is also interesting that manyof the Cosby accusations — whichwere all from the 2000s — accusehim of committing crimes in the1970s. Even for more recent cases,the lack of evidence could proveto be incriminating in its own wayfor his accusers. If they cannot fi nda way to prove Cosby is a sexualpredator, he could simply wait forthe accusations to pass.

Despite efforts to indict the77-year-old actor, he remains defi -ant and continues his shows andstand-up routines, although withmixed results. More than 1,000 peo-ple attended his stand-up at theBuell Theatre in Denver on Jan. 17,according to the Denver Post. At thesame time, there were dozens of pro-testers outside led by women’s rightsattorney Gloria Allred; the crowd car-ried signs like “Rape is no laughingmatter” and “Shame on you.”

LOYAL FANSDespite everything going on out-

side the theater, Cosby’s supportmade it diffi cult to believe allega-tions against him exist at all, asmany of the protesters declaredtheir love for his shows.

Still, the doubt among many ofhis fans remains. “It’s unsettlingbecause he was America’s fatherfi gure,” Paul Landry said in theDenver Post. “But too many womenhave the same story.”

Perhaps the most unsettling partof these allegations is how peoplehave responded to them.

Cosby is an infl uential man in apowerful position. However, eventhough he has so far remainedsafe from all the allegations, Cos-by’s career has darkened. What willhappen to him remains to be seen.

Racial oversensitivity can be self-defeating

As long as the possibility of Cosby’s guilt is not a certainty, he deserves the benefi t of the doubt.

The Islamic State (IS) has cap-tured at least 23 hostages since its rise to power, The New York Times said. Some were released while others were killed. Making ransom payments recovers hostages but funds terrorists, while non-negoti-ation fails to save lives but keeps countries from helping IS.

TO RANSOM OR NOT Britain and the U.S. refuse to

negotiate with IS, while France, Spain and others have ransomed their citi-zens, The New York Times said.

“Our policy is that we don’t pay ransom; we don’t give conces-sions to terrorist organizations,”

Deputy White House Press Sec-retary Eric Schultz said. “This is a long-standing policy that predates this administration.”

However, with the deaths of Americans James Foley, Peter Kassig and Eric Sotloff; as well as the cap-ture of British citizen John Cantlie, non-negotiation has been counter-productive to rescue efforts. Britain and the U.S. should choose alterna-tives other than silence.

“British and American govern-ments thought they could do it dif-ferently than every other European country,” Cantlie said to Fox News. “They negotiated with the Islamic

State and got their people home, while the British and the Americans were left behind.”

In contrast, 15 of 16 other coun-tries’ hostages were freed for ran-som out of 23 total IS hostages reported by The New York Times.

PRISONER SWAPBefore executing Japanese citi-

zen Kenji Goto, IS demanded a pris-oner swap in exchange for Sajida al-Reshawi, a failed Islamic suicide bomber currently held prisoner by Jordan. Jordan agreed in exchange for IS releasing a captured Jorda-nian air force pilot. The U.S. has refused to conduct any such nego-tiations with IS.

“How is what the Jordanians are talking about doing any different

than what the United States did to get the release of Bergdahl, releas-ing prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay to the Taliban?” a reporter said to Schultz at a press conference.

The incident referred to is the May 2014 release of fi ve Taliban prisoners in exchange for prison-er-of-war Bowe Bergdahl, a U.S. Army soldier captured by the Tal-iban in 2009. Several complaints have been made as to why the U.S. made no such move for American journalist James Foley, whom IS exe-cuted after two years of captivity.

Schultz explained why the swap had been negotiated, citing the pres-

ident’s policy as commander-in-chief “to leave no man or woman behind.”

“The Taliban is an armed insur-gency; ISIL is a terrorist group, but we don’t make concessions to ter-rorist groups,” Schultz said. “This was a winding down of the war in Afghanistan, and that’s why this arrangement was dealt.”

It is unclear if the prisoner swap will be successful, as Jordan has refused to free its prisoner until it receives proof that the pilot is still alive.

Jordan has also threatened to execute its IS hostages if its pilot is killed. As this situation is ongoing, it is uncertain whether this tactic will be successful.

RESCUE MISSIONSThe U.S. has unsuccessfully

attempted to save hostages sev-eral times. On Jan. 1, two missions to rescue the Jordanian pilot and other hostages failed, International Business Times said.

The attempt to rescue JamesFoley was also a failure, NBC News said, as the hostages had beenheld in another location.

From this evidence, rescue mis-sions are ineffective, and alter-natives should be exercised. Alternatively, the U.S. should increase efforts to carry out suc-cessful missions through increase of manpower, arms or intel.

THE LEAST OF MANY EVILSMeeting ransom demands may

be the most successful way ofrecovering hostages, but retalia-tion, rescue missions and non-ne-gotiation minimize the help that countries may provide IS through making payments. Countries willhave to decide if saving lives is worth funding terrorists.

On Jan. 28, the Associated Stu-dents of the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa (ASUH) voted against popu-lar student opinion when the sen-ate rejected a proposal to divest its portfolio from fossil fuels.

ASUH has a stock portfolio of its own valued at over $8 million, some of which is invested in energy companies.

While the student senate exer-cises discretion regarding its pri-vate stock portfolio, ASUH may have overstepped its boundaries by dic-tating student tuition be spent against student interests.

At the executive committee meet-ing, ASUH designated 45 minutes for testimony on the bill regarding UH’s divestment from fossil fuels. All who testifi ed supported divestment.

SUFFICIENTLY REPRESENTED?Senators are not required to vote

according to student opinion and may vote according to public opin-ion or their own judgement.

“[ASUH] is the undergraduate student government representing all full-time, classifi ed, undergradu-ate students at the Mānoa Campus,” the ASUH website says. “We work to bring issues of the student body to the attention of university admin-istration, faculty, staff, community groups and government offi cials to implement change and improve-ments for the student body.”

Based on that statement, though, ASUH should be expected to rep-resent student opinions, especially since a $5-per-student fee partially funds the senate. Further, ASUH should advocate on behalf of pop-ular student opinion – particularly if bills involve controversial topics such as renewable energy and cli-mate change.

It’s also worth considering, as mentioned in the bill ASUH struck down, that the state of Hawai‘i is particularly susceptible to the effects of climate change, so students here might be inclined to take fossil fuel

investments more seriously.“Hawai‘ i is the most fossil fuel

dependent state in the US – nearly 90 percent of the state’s energy is derived from fossil fuel ... [and] Hawai‘ i is extremely vulnerable to climate change and sea level rise,” the bill said.

In a June 2014 budget state-ment, ASUH defi ned the budget’s intended purpose as using received funds “ in a manner which fulfi lls the mission of [ASUH] in provid-ing for our constituents, and espe-cially the fi nancial objectives of the 102nd undergraduate senate.”

If ASUH is an organization intended to represent the student body and is funded in part by the student body, it seems question-able that ASUH would act “espe-cially” according to the will of its members.

COMMUNICATION AND INVOLVEMENTIf additional controversies are to

be reviewed, perhaps ASUH should make a greater effort to publicize its executive agenda. At present, site users must scroll to the bot-tom of a lengthy page to view the agenda in relatively small font.

Perhaps ASUH should also con-sider providing a more accessible calendar where site visitors can easily fi nd meeting dates as well as agenda items for the general and executive legislation. This move would likely encourage greater stu-dent participation and awareness.

Granted, ASUH posted the agenda beforehand and opened the fl oor to outside opinion. How-ever, if its meeting information is diffi cult to fi nd, and the wishes of all those who provide testimony are ignored, this may not serve the stu-dents ASUH claims to represent.

As a student government, ASUH should consider the community it represents, and if it advocates for “transparency,” it should exemplify this goal through clearer commu-nication.

ASUH should increase communication, representation

One of the most respected Noh actor families, members of which have been certifi ed by Japan as “Liv-ing National Treasures,” bring the Noh play “Kiyotsune” to the Univer-sity of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa this week.

Described as Japan’s masked dance-drama, Noh is a masterful blend of song, music, dance and pow-erful emotion. According to Kenneth E. Lawrence, who received a degree for Master of Arts in Asian Theatre from UH Mānoa in 2003, “Noh is a blurring of identities, of time and space, of dream and reality.”

Lawrence married into a family of licensed performers of Noh in 1990. From 1989 to 1996 he worked at the National Noh Theatre in Tokyo as a correspondent for the Japan Center of the International Theatre Insti-tute, where he studied the move-ment, music and chant of Noh.

The play, “Kiyotsune,” to be per-formed in excerpt at the Orvis Audi-torium, is a masterpiece of Zeami (1363-1443), called by as many as the Shakespeare of Noh. This play, like many in the Noh repertoire, is based on historical events and tra-ditions. In a civil war that raged in 12th century Japan between two clans, the Heike clan ultimately fell from power and was decimated.

“To pacify the ghosts of the fallen warriors, traveling musicians sang songs for their tortured spirits,” Law-rence said. “The lyrics of these songs were collected and refi ned in an epic, ‘The Tale of the Heike.’ Zeami [later] took many of these stories and made them into [Noh] plays.”

The play may have been writ-ten in the late 14th century for the Japanese warrior class, but Law-

rence assures that “Kiyotsune” “ is told in a very ‘modern’ way.” Per-former Munenori Takeda said, “The story is profound but easy to fol-low. It is romantic, exciting and heart-wrenching.”

The titular character and actual historical fi gure, Kiyotsune, returns to the world of the living as a ghost after drowning himself, driven to despair in face of his clan’s utter defeat. Meanwhile, his wife is tortured by a memento he sent, and when Kiy-otsune’s spirit appears before her in a dream, she vents her resentment over his choice of suicide.

“[‘Kiyotsune’] is dreamlike,” Takeda

said. “The blurring of reality and dream allows the performer to express the overwhelming sorrow of the characters.”

The pathos of the play emanates from the anguish both husband and wife feel, separated by death. Lawrence calls attention to a single line in the play, which translates as, “A memento serves only to increase agony, not allowing even a moment

of forgetting.” Zeami thus forces the viewer to experience several feel-ings alongside the characters, mak-ing “Kiyotsune” “real, universal and timeless.”

Pay special attention to the con-cluding dance sequence, which both Takeda and Lawrence describe as a major highlight.

“It has an inner strength and sor-row that is particularly devastating,” Takeda said.

Munenori Takeda was born into a prestigious family of Noh actors belonging to the Kanze School, which can trace its roots to the 14th century. His father, grandfather and

several uncles are all certifi ed as “Living National Treasures” in Japan. He fi rst performed on the Noh stage at the age of two and appeared in more than 100 performances a year while also giving workshops, semi-nars and presentations.

Even for those familiar with Noh, the theater form’s very nature makes each performance unique and not to be missed.

“Noh performances are like snowfl akes, rarely performed the same way more than once,” Lawrence said. “They aren’t jam sessions, but they also aren’t rehearsed. [Rather, each performer, from the actors to the accompany-ing musicians], is expected to know his part inside and out, polished and perfected.”

It is the effect of this unity of dif-ferent aspects that make Noh more than a traditional performing art. Recalling how he felt when he fi rst went to see Noh performances in Japan, Lawrence said, “It was like a strange dream that haunted me, and haunts me still.”

By coming to see “Samurai War-rior on the Noh Stage,” Munen-ori Takeda hopes that “people will be able not only to experience this unique art form, but to glimpse the universal through a particularly Japanese window.”

It wasn’t until consoles like the Atari and Nintendo Entertainment System that gamers got their fi rst true gaming experience at home with the blend of music, space and innovative gameplay. “Spirefall” aims to bring this same magic into the palm of your hands, but does it rise up as a new age classic, or does it fall to the wayside?

From the moment the play but-ton was tapped, I felt an over-whelming sense of nostalgia and excitement. The modern 8-bit music or “chip-tunes” alone are a reason to keep playing.

The game is a platform in which players take control of a cat that has the ability to maneuver left, right and jump. With no end to the game, the goal is to achieve the highest score possible.

Situated on a cylinder map, the cat will either rise or fall to its death. Numerous obstacles such as spikes, fl amethrowers, fall-ing hammers, robot enemies and more fl ood the playfi eld to compli-cate things.

Each playthrough includes three lives. If players still have lives when they die, the game will restart at the point where they left off. Cat food is also “littered” through-out the map, which can be traded in for an extra life once 200 have been collected.

While “Spirefall” may seem like a regular game to the aver-age person, its eye-popping visu-als, addicting gameplay and stellar music threw this avid gamer back into his 12-year-old past.

Are electronic commuter boards the new means of transportation for university students? Matthew Joseph Kievlan, owner of The Best Yet Company, thinks so. He believes that commuter boards are not only easy to ride, but easy on the envi-ronment and almost guaranteed to get you to your destination faster than a car.

Kievlan is a former U.S. Navy diver and strongly believes in a healthy lifestyle. He fi rst came across and bought a commuter board at an Aloha Stadium event.

“I used it for a few months and decided [that there was] no way I could not share this with everyone,” Kievlan said.

Now, he is the only person licensed to sell this electronic board in Hawai‘ i.

By riding e-commuter board, he said that it is not only fun, but freeing.

“I call it the gift of freedom because you’re freed from the car hostage status that you achieve when you get stuck in traffi c or [if ] your moped gets stolen. … You can carry this in your arm into class just like you would your laptop,” Kievlan said. “It creates so much

liberty in your life to not have to deal with the parking issues. I’m able to live a simple life [that is] actually way more fun than the 3,000-pound city life.”

The company ran a trial on the actual effectiveness of this trans-portation. They raced the board from Shidler Business School to 9th Avenue and Kaimukī against two girls who were driving.

“I just had to stand on my board and start skating. … I didn’t have to fi nd parking once I got there and I made it, like, 10 minutes before they did,” Kievlan said.

At this point, they thought there had to be a mistake, so they tested it against the car again. This time, the e-commuter board beat the car by fi ve minutes from 9th Avenue and Kaimukī to Ala Moana Center.

Not having to pay for gas, on-campus parking and walk-ing from lower to upper campus sounds like a dream come true. Now here’s the catch: A board costs about $700 in-store. As a college student, $700 is a lot of extra shifts and microwavable meals. Although, if the cost of gas, car maintenance and parking passes are factored in, the commuter board could calcu-late out to be a good investment.

Riding the board won’t have you

breaking a sweat. Since the board is controlled by a handheld remote, no pedaling is necessary.

“You save your workout for the gym and smile on the road,” Kiev-lan said. “You save the environment without sweating for it as much.”

Kievlan also said that the board is not very hard to ride because it “ is safer than the skateboard and a completely different animal than a skateboard. It takes a special per-son to skateboard, but anyone can ride the commuter board.”

I had a chance to ride the e-com-muter, and it was as smooth as they claimed. The ride was very differ-ent from a skateboard where you do not have as much control. With the palm-sized remote, the rider

can move the board both forward or backwards, depending on which way you slide the lever. Speed can also be controlled, so no more hit-and-runs or awkward stops in the middle of campus. Bumps are not a problem.

“The board is so powerful, it just chews that stuff right up. It’s crazy,” Kievlan said.

Lindsey Nelson, a sophomore, also had the opportunity to try out the board. When asked about the ride, Nelson said, “ it doesn’t require as much effort” compared to the longboard he was riding at the time. He did not think he would purchase an e-commuter “with [his] income, but if [he were] rich, for sure.”

Rules of the road on O‘ahu versus the mainland

Driving HI

HI TIMEThe speed limits in Hawai‘ i begin at 25

mph, which is nearly half of the limits on the mainland. Mainland drivers need to learn patience to get around town; it is easy to spot mainland drivers by their tailing methods – perhaps these drivers believe a higher speed will be reached by riding someone’s bumper. If lucky, a high speed of 65 mph can be reached on the highway with no one on the road. For locals travel-ing to the mainland, 90 mph is a common highway speed, and can be scary for many fi rst-timers; be cautious.

NONEXISTENT LANESOn the mainland, lanes are prominent

and cars steadily ride in one until need-ing to switch over. In Hawai‘ i, it is common to see cars drifting in and out of a lane – not because all Hawai‘ i drivers are bad, but because there is limited space on the roads for parking purposes. If a car drifts into another lane, it is from fear of sideswiping a parked car.

LEFT TURNING WHENEVERWhen making a left turn, it is safest to wait

until oncoming traffi c has passed to avoid a side collision. In Hawai‘ i, left turns are taken whenever a driver pleases; it is up to oncoming traffi c to stop for anyone wishing to turn left. Although the shaka can be used in this situation, most drivers remain angry and use a plethora of expletives.

IGNORING THE BLINKER Although it is taught to use a signal

when merging from one lane to the next, this rule does not apply when driving in Hawai‘ i. Spatial awareness is of utmost importance on the road in case somebody in the right-hand lane decides to make a turn without signal-ing. Rear-end collisions are common because of this mistake, but every-thing is fi ne with a shaka.

MOPED PACKINGWhile speed limits on the mainland are

higher than those in Hawai‘ i, mopeds are close to nonexistent due to a top speed of 50 mph. Driving a moped is popular on the island because of the effi ciency to get from point A to point B. Do not be surprised by a moped with two (sometimes three) people packed on it.

Hawai‘ i is unique in its culture, and anyone who has traveled back and forth between the mainland and the islands understands this. For those who have yet to experience both, there are several differ-ences in food, speech, music and driving. Although it is assumed that the rules of the road are common throughout the United States, Hawai‘ i has developed its own unique set of practices.

THE SHAKAMost commonly used after cutting

somebody off, missing a stop sign or moving lanes in traffi c, the shaka is a friendly way to apologize for belligerent driving. If the shaka is not used after a mistake, lock all doors.

With these dif-ferences in mind,

be respectful of the road routines in each

state. Driving is dangerous and breaking the rules

can lead to serious injuries. Always drive with aloha.

Priscilla Stafford Medeiros, an Academy for Creative Media (ACM) graduate from University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa, worked as a production assistant (PA) on the feature fi lm, “Big Eyes,” in September 2013.

“I was really excited [about working on “Big Eyes”], especially because everyone knows [director] Tim Burton,” Medeiros said.

Burton is best known for direct-ing movies such as “Beetlejuice” and “Edward Scissorhands.” Many people think he is strange and quirky because of his movies, but

Medeiros said he’s not what peo-ple imagine.

“He was quite normal,” Medeiros said. “He’s very focused and ded-icated. ... He would joke around with the actors, talk to them and enjoy the time, but he’s a very focused man.”

One of Medeiros many jobs as a PA was to check on the extras, which included signing them in and make sure they had their hair and make-up done. Not only was she in charge of the extras, but of the actors as well. She made sure they were comfortable, let them know what was going on and which scene they were going to fi lm.

This meant that she had the opportunity to work and meet with the stars of “Big Eyes,” Amy Adams and Christoph Waltz. Medeiros described both of these actors as being friendly and humble people.

“They didn’t act like super-

stars. They were real people, and I respect that a lot,” she said.

Adams won Best Actress at the Golden Globes for her role in “Big Eyes,” beating Julianne Moore, Emily Blunt, Helen Mirren and Quvenzhane Wallis. This is her sec-ond Golden Globe award and sixth Golden Globe nomination.

Medeiros shared that it was an honor being able to work with Tim Burton, and see his methods and how he works.

Since graduating from UH Mānoa, Medeiros has worked on numerous television shows and movies such as “Hawai‘i Five-O,” “Lost,” “The Hunger Games” and “Jurassic World.”

Medeiros said that although studying fi lm at UH gave her an idea of what it would be like in production, she was still amazed when she set foot on an actual fi lm set.

“The scale is very different. We have a crew of maybe 15 people at school, going to a crew of 60 to 100 people in production,” Medeiros said. “In school, [the teachers] talk about how everyone has a job and responsibility that carries on to the big production. Everybody has a part to play.”

Medeiros’ production life began in March 2009 during spring break. One of her friends was interning on “Lost” and told her that they were looking for PAs. Medeiros was only supposed to work on set for one day, but ended up working for fi ve days.

After graduating from college in December 2009, Medeiros con-

tacted the assistant director of “Lost” and received a full-time position on the set. Through work-ing on the television show, she made connections with people in the industry. Medeiros stressed the importance of having a good repu-tation on set.

“Hawai‘ i is a small island and community, so word of mouth is important. If you have a good rep-utation and reference, word will go around,” Medeiros said.

After working as a production assistant for four years, she had enough days to join the Director’s Guild of America and was accepted in 2014. She now works on set as a second assistant director.

“[I love] the different kinds of peo-ple I get to meet, and the fact that there’s something new every day. Every day is different, so I really like that [about my job],” Medeiros said.

The most recent feature fi lm she worked on was “Jurassic World,” which was fi lmed here on O‘ahu, Kaua‘ i and New Orleans. Medeiros was given the opportunity to fi lm in all three locations.

“No matter what, don’t think that you’re going to go in as a producer, director or a writer,” Medeiros said. “Be willing to start from the bot-tom, to start as an offi ce produc-tion or an offi ce PA. Be willing to work hard.”

Q: Describe your art in three words?“Romantic, abstract, curious.”

Q: If you could paint a portrait of anyone in the universe and have it hung in his/her house, who’d it be and why?“Joanna Newsom. Everything about her and her music is so ethereal and she has such a natural, earthy beauty that’s so captivating. I’d paint her in the woods, surrounded in wood-land creatures or wild fl owers. Maybe some strange curiosities and artifacts. I feel these would compliment her [and even my own] aesthetic.”

Q: Between being a mother of three, a photographer and a painter, what do you enjoy spending your free time doing?“I love being on the beach in the sun, or sticking my nose in a book. I love wandering around Maui on adventures and snug-gling my loved ones close.”

Q: If you could create any color and name it, what would it be? Describe that color.“I’d name it Aria. It’d be the color of the feeling you get when you look at the person you love. More passionate than red, warmer than yellow or orange, deeper than any blue.”

Based on a true story, “Big Eyes” is a drama directed by Tim Burton, starring Amy Adams and Christoph Waltz. This compelling movie revolves around Margaret Keane (Adams), an artist whose paintings were greatly admired by many in the 1950s. However, her life takes a turn when her husband (Waltz), steps in and takes all the credit for her work.

Making a good snack can be a challenge in college. If you live on your own, ingredients and appliances can be in limited supply, and the odd hours at which you eat means going shopping isn’t conve-nient. Whether you’ve gotten home from Chinatown at 4 a.m. or are in the middle of a raucous dorm party, here are two recipes that make use of limited resources and require minimal culinary skill.

LATE-NIGHT SNACKS

SAN CISCO OFFERS

RELATABLE RHYMES

PAPA B’S CHEESY RAMEN

1 package of instant noodles (microwave or stovetop)¼ cup sliced or grated cheese2 tablespoons milk½ teaspoon saltParsley or other dried herb

If you’ve got a hankering for some mac 'n' cheese but don’t have the powdered cheese or elbow-shaped pasta, this cheesy ramen is a practical substitute, especially if the only appliance in reach is a microwave.

Following the instructions on the package, prepare noodles without provided fl avor packet. Drain the water from the noodles. In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine the cheese and milk. Microwave for one minute or until the cheese has melted and add salt to taste. Combine noo-dles with the cheese mixture and garnish with parsley or other herb of choice if desired. Serves one.

SHAKE-AND-MAKE TACO

1 one-ounce bag of nacho cheese chips¼ cup taco sauce 2 tablespoons shredded cheese blend2 tablespoons refried beans3 tablespoons shredded lettuce2 tablespoons diced tomatoes

No cooking is necessary for this recipe, and many of the ingredients are easy to fi nd near campus (or at the on-cam-pus cafeteria). The most conve-

nient aspect of this snack is the cleanup: Just throw the bag away when you’re done. Open bag of chips and add let-tuce, tomatoes and taco sauce. If desired, warm refried beans and cheese before adding those ingredients. Close bag and shake to mix. Use a fork to mix addi-tionally if needed.

This is a situation we've all found ourselves in at some point in our lives, and if we’re lucky enough not to have had this awkward encounter, it’s bound to happen in the future. These are also the oh-so-relat-able lyrics of a song popularly known as "Awkward" by the indie pop-rock band San Cisco. San Cisco is an Australian band formed in 2009 and released its debut album, "Golden Revolver," two years later in 2011. The band consists of guitarist and lead vocalist Jordi Davieson, guitarist

and vocalist Josh Biondillo, bass-ist Nick Gardner and drummer and vocalist Scarlett Stevens.

Although they have not yet pro-duced an array of albums and songs, the music San Cisco cre-ates is largely diverse in its sound and plays on many dif-ferent moods. Their tunes are always relatable and it’s incred-ibly easy to fi nd the right sound for your exact mood when listen-ing to San Cisco. Below are a few personal favorites by the band. Their com-plete selection can be found on Spotify.

NICK HUTHSPORTS EDITOR

With the removal of former head coach Gib Arnold, the Rain-bow Warrior basketball program’s adversity-fi lled season hit another milestone when the NCAA sent the school a notice regarding a num-ber of violations that occurred under Arnold.

The Notice of Allegations, which was released publicly on Satur-day afternoon by the Offi ce of the Chancellor, outlined the results of the in-person investigation that began in March. The NCAA was ini-tially notifi ed by UH in January, when an altered admissions doc-ument was found and reported by the athletics department.

The NCAA claims the initially reported document was “know-ingly altered” by former assistant coach Brandyn Akana in contrast with the principles of ethical con-duct. Akana, who was removed last October alongside Arnold, also gave an iPad to a men’s basketball player between December 2012 and January 2013. Akana’s denial of the

impermissible benefi t was deemed a Level I violation by the NCAA.

Violations are rated by investiga-tors on a four level scale, with Level I violations signifying a “severe breach of conduct,” and serving as the worst violation possible. The

violations levied against the univer-sity contain three Level I and four Level II violations that were found in the 10 months since the investi-gation began.

“We take these allegations very seriously,” Chancellor Robert Bley-Vroman said. “As a member of the NCAA, we are committed to following the rules and to main-taining the highest standards in all of our programs.”

The violations date as far back as 2010, when former director of bas-

ketball operations Scott Fisher par-ticipated in impermissible coaching sessions at Arnold’s instruction. Fisher claimed in an interview with the NCAA that he was instructed by Arnold to avoid coaching the team when media was present, and also to to not report the sessions to the school’s compliance offi ce.

The notice also reported a num-ber of both aggravating and mitigat-ing factors regarding the university’s involvement. The NCAA recom-mended that the hearing panel con-sider the program’s compliance with the investigation, as well as the 45 self-reported minor violations, serve as mitigating factors. The report also mentioned the removal of Arnold and Akana as potential mitigating factors, as the two former coaches were responsible for the majority of the allegations listed.

However, the investigators also noted a number of aggravating fac-tors that may be considered when the hearing begins. In addition to the multiple Level I violations in a four year span, the NCAA noted the school’s violations that occurred in 1976 and 1977, as well as the pattern

of noncompliance within the basket-ball program as factors that should be considered during the hearing.

Beyond the release of the letter from the NCAA, the school stated that offi cials are not allowed to comment further as the investiga-tion moves forward to the next step.

“According to the NCAA process, the next step is that UH and named individuals have up to 90 days to respond. Then the NCAA enforce-ment staff has up to 60 days to reply. We expect a hearing before the Committee on Infractions to be held in approximately six months,” a representative from the university said in a release.

Meanwhile, the Warriors are coming off a road loss to Long Beach State to give them a 3-4 con-ference record after a 12-4 start to the season.

“It’s time to move forward, one way or another,” acting coach Benjy Taylor said after Arnold’s removal in Octo-ber. “The teams we’re playing against, they could care less about all this.”

JEREMY NITTAASSOCIATE WEB EDITOR

“Pessimistically optimistic.”That’s how head coach Bob

Coolen of the Rainbow Wahine soft-ball team described his outlook for the upcoming season. Hawai‘i, com-ing off its fi rst losing season since 2004, struggled to fi nd consistency all season. The team’s 22-28 record marked the lowest win total in Cool-en’s tenure as coach.

“Last year, we were putting at least three true freshmen into full-time starting roles and putting two new pitchers on the mound as well, one being another true freshman,” Coolen said. “Once things started to go downhill, there was no chance for us. So if you’re asking me if we’re going to be better, then sure, I’d like to believe we’re going to better than last year.”

According to Coolen a lot of things went wrong. All throughout last season, Coolen lamented over the team’s lack of reliable pitching, which was the driving force behind the team’s issues.

“The team became very indi-vidualistic last year,” Coolen said. “Players were playing for them-selves and not for each other as a team. Some players did well at the beginning and faded, while others took half the season to fi gure it out. In a lot of our road games, we were in winnable games. But there was no belief in the pitch-ing staff to get us a win. And that

feeling transcended to the rest of the team, and that’s when we saw things fall apart.”

This year, another batch of new-comers will enter the fray, but Coolen is hoping that a handful of returnees will provide the team a steady anchor for the upcoming season.

PITCHINGBefore last season, Coolen raved

about his two talented freshmen pitchers: Heather Morales and Brit-tany Hitchcock. However, before the season began, Hitchcock was shelved

by a back injury that cost her the season and forced her to redshirt. Morales was then forced to shoulder the pitching load without Hitchcock, and the results were disastrous.

“We overused Heather last year,” Coolen said. “She wore out down the stretch. But last year’s pitchers didn’t have that competitive fi re on the mound. They went out and pitched, but didn’t have that burn to carry the team to victory. That’s why we didn’t ever have a number one pitcher.”

Hitchcock, a native from Hun-tington Beach, California, is back

to full strength and has quickly established herself as the leader of the pitching rotation. Coolen has already named her the starter for the opener against St. Mary’s.

“It was about getting myself fi t again,” Hitchcock said. “I think that all the offseason team workouts we had were really benefi cial, and I’m ready to go out there and kick some butt.”

Coolen also brought in Georgia Tech transfer Kanani Aina Cabrales, who brings starting experience from her lone season as a Yellow Jacket. Coolen has named her as the team’s

second starter, and Hitchcock is opti-mistic that together they can remedy the pitching woes.

“I think the fans are going to see a different atmosphere out there, especially from the pitching,” Hitch-cock said. “I know we’re going to have power and movement from our pitchers, and between me and Kanani, I think that we’re going to do a good job taking control when we’re on the mound.”

OUTFIELDThe outfi eld was able to main-

tain some consistency, with fresh-

man Lindsey Willmon starting all 50 games in center fi eld and soph-omore Keiki Carlos starting 45 of 50 in right fi eld. However, left fi eld was something of a constant shuf-fl e, as Coolen attempted to ride the hot hand at the third outfi eld posi-tion. Additionally, neither of the set starters were able to produce consistently. Willmon’s produc-tions faded down the stretch, and Carlos’ hitting fl uctuated between dynamic and nonexistent as she tried to shoulder a bigger load from a slumping UH offense.

This season, Willmon will be used in a utility role, as Coolen plans to rotate her at catcher. He also has shifted former catcher Kayla Wart-ner, a senior, into the outfi eld and has raved about prized recruit Rachel Lack from Australia.

However, Carlos, the team’s lone returning constant in the outfi eld, will need to return to the outstand-ing form she showed as a freshman instead of the inconsistent play she showed as a sophomore.

“I think that for Keiki, she realizes that this year there are better play-ers on the fi eld with her,” Coolen said. “That’s going to take pressure off of her and allow her to relax and just focus on playing right fi eld. Now, she can focus on making the catches and plays she missed that have dogged her during the fi rst couple of years and allow her to become a good right fi elder.”

Carlos, a local product from nearby Mid-Pacifi c Institute, seems

more interested in what lies ahead for herself and the team, rather than the struggles from the past.

“I think that as a young team, we had fl aws, at least in terms of game sense and getting on the same page,” Carlos said. “But the chemistry with the team is different this year from last year. We all have a common goal now, and we’re more focused. We know what we have to do and what we want to achieve this season.”

INFIELDAmidst the turmoil that swirled

in the outfi eld and pitching staff, junior fi rst baseman Leisha Li‘ ili‘ iwas perhaps the lone bright spotin the chaos. The local slugger from Castle High earned fi rst-team con-ference honors by leading Hawai‘ i in nearly every hitting category, including an impressive .401 bat-ting average. However, her bril-liance was often wasted due to a lack of consistent support.

“Leisha hit over .400, but not many people knew she did because once teams fi gured out that the rest of our lineup was inconsistent, teams stopped throwing the ball to her,” Coolen said. “This year, we’re hoping that by putting good hitters around Lei-sha and by getting our pitchers to believe that we aren’t going to give up a ton of runs, then we’re going to be in a lot of ballgames.”

Li‘ ili‘ i, who is known as a quiet producer for the team, had little to say about the struggles of last sea-son. However, the senior who had only known success as a Rainbow Wahine before last year is hop-ing that she can help return the team to its former glory in her fi nal go-around.

“I’ve come to a semi-realiza-tion that this is my fi nal run,” Li‘ ili‘ i said. “It hasn’t fully hit me that it’s over after this, but I’ve made some adjustments in the offseason for myself, and I’m gonna be going all out this season.”

WHAT TO EXPECTThere appears to be a lot to look

forward to this season. A team that was largely dependent on its youth should return a year better and a year wiser. However, Coolen believes that some of his young

returnees will provide the leader-ship that was lacking last year.

“Last season, our seniors wanted to have a good senior year, but didn’t play to their abilities and got frus-trated with the way the season was going,” Coolen said. “That’s not what you want from your supposed senior leaders, but that’s what we got.”

“This year, our leaders on the fi eld have been Brittany and Keiki. Those two, along with Kayla, were named the team captains. But those two both have that belief that you need from your captains.”

The team will need that lead-ership, as their preseason slate includes matchups with perennial powerhouses Oklahoma and UCLA. However, the team’s new leaders are more than ready to lead Hawai‘i back to relevance.

“I want those top teams,” Hitch-cock said. “I feel that’s going to show us where we’re at. And it’ll help us in the long run with rankings, because

it’ll let us show that we can competewith the best teams.”

Carlos said it a bit more bluntly.“We have nothing to lose,” she

said. “This will give us confi denceand show where we are versus therest of the nation.”

The Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex cost $16 million to build over four years. Now, that fi gure could be well over $20 million.

In a follow-up from a previous Ka Leo report, the Clarence T.C. Ching Complex will undergo further con-struction, particularly the track and artifi cial turf fi eld. In the begin-ning of January of this year, Uni-versity of Hawai‘ i athletics director Ben Jay consulted contractors from Beynon Sports Surfaces to examine the track and fi eld facilities.

Beynon is a sports surfacing company that created and ren-ovated tracks for the University of Oregon and the University of Southern California. It also worked with Ohio State University when

Jay served as the assistant athlet-ics director, prior to his time at UH.

“They came in the fi rst week of January and took a look at our

track,” Jay said. “The current track is beyond its useful life and needs to be replaced. The last thing we want is athletes getting hurt running on the track.”

Along with replacing the 13-year-old track, Jay wants to renovate the artifi cial turf fi eld and replace it with natural grass in an effort to bring Rainbow Wahine soccer games back to the UH campus.

However, the price of this ambition could be more than $4 million.

“Before looking at the track and fi eld on the campus, we gave Ben

an estimate of $3.7 million,” Greg Logsdon, Beynon’s vice president of sales, said. “That was before, however, Ben told us that the fi eld needed to be natural grass and have a suffi cient drainage system put in place.”

Ripping up the artifi cial turf and replacing it with natural grass isn’t that simple. There needs to be a sub-structure implemented under-

neath the fi eld to allow for drainage and irrigation before the natural grass can be put down, Jay said.

Currently, Logsdon is back on the mainland calculating the new esti-mated price of renovation for the complex. The complex, according to Logsdon, has a lot of work that needs to be done.

“There is a crown on the fi eld that needs to be dug up, and there also an issue with the width of the fi eld,” Logsdon said.

The complex’s fi eld is approxi-mately 10 yards too short in width for collegiate play, rendering it use-less for the Rainbow Wahine soccer team to even practice on.

“I’ve talked to our soccer and track coach about what is happen-ing with the complex because I want to bring soccer back to campus and make the track safe for its athletes,”

Jay said. “The track conditions aren’t dangerous, they’re just not ideal.”

The $3.7 million estimate is sub-ject to change, according to Logs-don. He said that it will take a few weeks to fi gure out, but he is confi dent that the matter will be resolved in the coming months.

Jay is unsure of whether or not the new estimate will be more expensive than the original $3.7 million, but adds that there is apossibility that “more costs will come on top of that.”

Likewise, Logsdon believes that the estimate will rise due to new obsta-cles that have been put in place.

When asked for an idea of whatthe new estimate would be, Logs-don said, “I’m working on it. But right now, I’m afraid to say.”

BASEBALLUniversity of Hawai‘ i Rainbow Warrior baseball head

coach Mike Trapasso was inducted into the Greater St.Louis Baseball Hall of Fame this past Thursday. Trapassohas a 382-360 record during his tenure at UH, including aNational Coach of the Year award back in 2006 when theWarriors posted a 45-17 record en route to an NCAA Divi-sion I Baseball Tournament appearance.

Last Thursday also saw the Warriors get picked to fi n-ish seventh in the Big West Conference in a preseasoncoaches poll. Hawai‘ i earned eighth place in the Big Westlast season, posting a 6-18 conference record. UH has a17-36 record in two seasons since joining the conferenceand has never fi nished higher than seventh place.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALLThe Rainbow Wahine basketball team continued its winning ways

this past Thursday against Long Beach State, defeating the 49ers by a score of 72-64. The Wahine were led by Shawlina Segovia who scored 14 points while registering 14 rebounds en route to their fourth con-secutive conference victory.

The streak extended to fi ve games on Saturday when the ‘Bows ran over Cal State Northridge in a 64-49 victory. It marked the worst defeat for CSUN all season but also marked the longest winning streak for the Wahine since the 2006-07 season.

MEN’S BASKETBALLIt was a busy week for the War-

rior basketball team. Action kicked off this past Thursday when the ‘Bows defeated Cal State Northridge on the road, 84-73. UH’s West Coast road trip continued Saturday against the Long Beach State 49ers as UH let go of a fi rst-half lead to fall to the 49ers 65-50.

The loss to the 49ers wasn’t the biggest blow of the day for the Warriors, however, as the NCAA letter of allegations against the program was released to the pub-lic. The letter cited seven allega-tions against the men’s program, spanning over the tenure of for-mer head coach Gib Arnold. The program has 90 days to respond to the allegations, which included three Level I violations (the most severe) and four Level 2 violations.

MEN’S VOLLEYBALLOn their fi rst road trip of the season, the War-

riors lost their opening match against the Ant-eaters of UC Irvine in straight sets this past Wednesday, falling 16-25, 22-25, 21-15. However, the ‘Bows were able to avenge its loss and defeat the Anteaters for the fi rst time all season in their sec-ond matchup on Saturday as the Warriors beat the Anteaters in four sets, 25-22, 25-19, 24-26 and 26-24.

The No. 6 ranked ‘Bows will now look to return home and play the undefeated No. 2 ranked USC Trojans on Feb. 4 at the Stan Sheriff Center.

WATER POLOThe ‘Bows faced ranked UCLA and Indiana on the

opening day of the Stanford Invitational at Avery Pool in Stanford, California, Saturday. The Bruins crushed the Rainbow Wahine in UH’s fi rst game, scoring 2-2 in the fi rst quarter, 4-1 in the second, 2-0 in the third and 4-1 in the fi nal for an overall score of 12-4.

The second match against Indiana saw UH up by one point after the fi rst two periods, 5-4, with both teams tying the third period, 1-1 and UH edg-ing Indiana 4-3 in the fourth for a fi nal-score win of 10-8.

TRACK AND FIELDThis past Saturday saw members of the team

break one school record and seven personal bests. Senior Zhane Santiago led the way for the Rainbow Wahine in the 60-meter hurdles where she was the top collegiate fi nisher, setting a per-sonal record and UH record time of 8.51 seconds in the qualifying round. In the fi nals, she fi nished 1/100th of a second behind Olympian Sharon Day-Monroe to fi nish third.

Senior thrower Alex Porlier Langlois set a new personal record in the shot put, heaving a 50-7.25 mark to beat her 45-10.5 mark set back in 2013. Freshman Montana Martinez also made some noise for the Wahine as she ran the eighth fast-est mile time in school history with a 5:07.65 mile.

DENNIS CASTILLO STAFF WRITER

Vincent Santabarbara is a bas-ketball maniac.

You’ll likely fi nd him at the War-rior Recreation Center (WRC) basket-ball court running a pick-up game of basketball during the evenings.

“I go four times a week,” Santabar-bara said. “I usually run [play] with a friend of mine. If I go alone, I play with some of the familiar faces I’ve met through playing there. Normally there is a signup board where you can sign you and your team’s names and they’ll run games according to who is next on the board.”

Santabarbara understands how versatile playing basketball can be for him. Basketball not only fulfi lls his love for the game as a partici-pant, but it also gives him an ave-

nue for staying active and hanging out with friends.

“I always played basketball out-side of school,” Santabarbara said. “I feel that it is important to stay active and play sports because it helps maintain your body’s strength and overall health. The healthier you live, the easier small tasks in life become. Playing sports like bas-ketball is a fun and exciting way to stay active. I also love when my gym buddies come out to play. It gives us the opportunity to eat and hang-out afterwards. We love going to all-you-can-eat Korean barbecue after a intensely competitive game.”

Like most gym afi cionados, Sant-abarbara has seen his fair share of other gyms and basketball courts, but the WRC is his favorite.

“I’ve played at many differ-ent courts across the island, but

the games at WRC are top-notch,” Santabarbara said. “You can expect a good game every time you run. There’s always great players and fast-paced action. The WRC was worth the wait. Everything is high-quality and new. It has almost all the necessary equipment any gym-rat would need. I do wish it had a sauna, though. It’s great that it’s on main campus; it gives me the opportunity to stay on campus and wait for the traffi c to die down.”

Even though Santabarbara ran track in high school, his true love for sports has always been rooted in basketball.

“I grew up watching Kobe Bry-ant,” Santabarbara said. “During his prime, he dominated over any other player he matched up against. He’s the greatest player of his era. I emulate my game after his. I played as much as I watched. I was always playing ball growing

up. I played almost every night for all four years of high school with my close friends. Basketball binds us together and it’s why we’re still close now. I have a lot of memo-ries from being on the court, and there’s more to be made here at the WRC.”

Even with the demands of being a full-time economics major and employee at the media lab here at the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa, Santabarbara still fi nds the time to

keep up with the NBA.“The Golden State Warriors look

to be the strongest in the West, but I believe the Dallas Mavericks should not be overlooked,” Santabarbara said. “I think once the Cleveland Cavaliers fi gure things out, their chemistry issues, then they’ll win the East. They seem to be clicking now, and I think it’ll be them and Golden State in the fi nals.”

HAYLEY MUSASHISTAFF WRITER

Being a high school prep star in Hawai‘i can present many chal-lenges for young athletes looking to hone their talents at the next level. The most prominent may be the decision to compete for the univer-sity their home state worships or broaden their horizons and leave the comforting confi nes of island life.

As two of the best athletes in the sport, USC volleyball players and island natives Micah Christenson and Larry Tuileta will surely have a sweet homecoming when they return to the Stan Sheriff Center this weekend.

Christenson, now a senior at USC, was heavily sought after by collegiate programs during his senior season at Kamehameha Schools Kapālama where he was a dual-sport athlete, exceling in

both volleyball and basketball. No stranger to accolades, Christenson was named to both all-state and all-conference teams in high school several times, VBM’s all-American

fi rst feam and Fab 50 list and was named Gatorade Hawai‘ i Player of the Year in 2010.

In his time with the Trojans, he has been a four-year starter and served as team captain for the past three years.

Micah isn’t the only Christenson Hawai‘ i sports fans are familiar with. Both of Micah’s parents were standout collegiate athletes at the University of Hawai‘ i - Hilo, where

his father played basketball and his mother, Charlene, was a two-time All-American and three-time national champion on the volley-ball court.

Regarded as one of the best set-ters in the world, Christenson has dominated the collegiate sea-son the past three years and has seen his meteoric rise take his tal-ents to the national level. In 2013, during his debut with the U.S. Men’s National Team at the NORCECA Continental Championship, he was named both Best Server and Best Setter. Most recently, he served as the primary setter for the U.S. Men’s

team en route to their victory in the 2014 FIVB World League.

One of the most high profi le recruits to come out of Hawai‘ i in recent years, dual-sport athlete Larry Tuileta will make his fi rst trip back to the islands since signing with the Trojans last year.

Tuileta, a 6’3”, 205 lb. freshman, excelled as a high school athlete at Punahou, where he was a three-time all-state fi rst team performer in both volleyball and in football as a quarterback.

Prior to his high school gradua-tion, Tuileta had indicated that he would accept a volleyball schol-arship at Hawai‘ i and then walk on to the football program under head coach Norm Chow. However, much to everyone’s surprise, USC made a late offer and Tuileta ulti-mately accepted - committing to both sports.

The Honolulu native went on to

explain that his decision to leave the islands was a way for him to be able to grow up as a person and experi-ence a life away from the place where he had always been comfortable.

As a volleyball prep star, Tuileta led Punahou to its third straight state championship during hissenior campaign, en route to earn-ing all-state and all-ILH Player ofthe Year awards.

He also competed for the USAVolleyball Boys Junior National Championships while playing for the Ka Ulukoa club team. He led his team to championship titles for six consecutive years.

While the fans of the Universityof Hawai‘ i men’s volleyball team are as competitive as they are ded-icated, it is without a doubt that these two will be shown the aloha spirit when they take the court.

During winter break, I fl ew home to the beautiful Big Island of Hawai‘ i. The moment anyone lands on Big Island, every-thing seems to slow down. The tallest building probably doesn’t exceed 12 stories. From several spots on the island, fi ve vol-canoes are visible, including Haleakalā on Maui. It’s unreal. I could drive 30 minutes in any direction, and I would end up in an entirely different environment. Where else in the world can someone stand on top of a snow-capped volcano and look down at a sunny, 80-degree beach?

The sand is real, unlike Waikīkī beaches, and the
