COURTNEY TEAGUENEWS EDITOR

The University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa plans to continue under-taking new sustainability projects in the system’s effort to become net-zero by 2035.

House Bill 1509 — now Act 99 — was signed by Gov. David Ige last week and calls upon all UH cam-puses to implement energy-sav-ing infrastructures with the help of government funding allocated for green-energy projects in 2013. UH is expected to measure its cur-rent energy usage and submit an annual report of progress and altered plans to meet the goal for the next 20 years.

The bill states that its purpose is to “maximize student tuition savings by establishing long-term commitments to reduce energy.”

“The University of Hawai‘ i is the higher education epicenter of the state and the region and ... we teach [sustainability], we do research in these areas, we need to live by these principles,” said Steve Meder, interim asso-ciate vice chancellor of Planning and Facilities at UH Mānoa, in a phone interview. “We need to incorporate this not only because we’ll reduce the amount that stu-dents have to pay to keep the lights on ... but also because it’s our responsibility.”

Matthew Lynch, sustainability

coordinator of the UH system, said that while becoming net-zero would take collaboration, he felt the net-zero goal was feasible.

“I think that we’re certainly up for the challenge and that [Act 99] is an opportunity for us to rise to the occasion and show our leadership in this area,” Lynch said in a phone interview. “With the pace of tech-nology development these days, I certainly think it’s possible.”

HB 1509 was one of four energy bills Ige signed that intend to increase Hawai‘ i’s effi ciency across the state.

INCREASING EFFICIENCY AT MĀNOAThe fl agship campus of UH uses

around 80 percent of the system’s total energy, according to Meder.

While he said a net-zero goal 20 years from now was “totally feasible on certain buildings,” Meder felt that others — particu-larly energy-intensive laborato-ries — would require UH Mānoa to develop energy both on- and off-campus, since more roof space is needed to produce enough solar energy. A large renewable energy farm that could carry close to UH Mānoa’s energy load built near the West O‘ahu campus, he said, could be a viable solution to the prob-lem of a lack of space for solar panels on campus.

Though UH Mānoa continues to expand and is now approaching eight million square feet of occu-

pied space, Lynch said the campus has still been able to decrease its energy usage.

The new Kuykendall Hall plans were designed to be net-zero long before the bill was signed. In fact, Meder said that the building plan

was even noted in an earlier draft of the HB 1509.

Plans for the renovated Klum Gym will be designed in a similar fashion to that of Kuykendall Hall and will include solar panels, day-lighting and other energy-effi cient considerations, according to Meder.

He hopes both facilities will be done in fi ve years.

SETTING A STANDARDMeder deemed climate change

“the looming issue of the 21st cen-tury” and stressed the importance of setting standards in the commu-nity and leading by example.

“I do think the goal is ambitious, but I don’t think it’s unachievable,” Meder said.

In addition to the use of more mainstream energy-saving mea-sures such as the implementation of LED lights, solar panels or control

systems that reduce lighting and air conditioning in empty or bare-ly-fi lled classrooms, Meder makes it a priority to evaluate the natural qualities a piece of land has when assessing building designs.

An associate professor at UH

Mānoa’s School of Architecture and the director of the Center for Smart Building and Community Design at Sea Grant, Meder takes into account factors like natural light and air fl ow so as to avoid wasting money or resources when plans come to fruition.

“This goes beyond engineer-ing effi ciencies and takes archi-tectural design into looking at the building as a whole organism rather than just a bunch of sub-systems like lighting and electri-cal,” Meder said.

By 2035, Meder anticipates new technological advances that will make fuel and water conserva-tion more effi cient and help con-tribute to the net-zero goal. All of these factors and others will con-tribute to a building design and performance standard that will be drafted for UH buildings with Act

99 in mind, according to Meder.“In our vulnerable state, in these

islands in the middle of the Pacifi c, it’s really about survival, and weneed to be able to demonstratesurvivability and sustainability – not only to the students, but as an institution; it’s our responsibility,”Meder said.

Like a two-sided coin, Lynch said the generation of renewable energy and energy effi ciency were bothcrucial to becoming net-zero.

He said getting people together was the “fundamental challenge” in the struggle to tackle climate change.

By allowing students hands-on interaction with viable solutions such as the recent installation of 1,232 InteliSockets, or energy-mod-erating sockets, at UH Mānoa, Hilo and Windward Community College,Lynch believes such projects will create opportunities for students to better gauge their energy usage.

“We need all types of different tools and technologies to be able to help us realize our full poten-tial in terms of energy savings. We want to be adaptive and responsive to changing needs,” Lynch said.

A 10-CAMPUS COMMITMENTIn addition to UH Mānoa’s sus-

tainability efforts, Lynch saidstrides are being made at cam-puses throughout the system.

Leeward Community College and the Hawai‘ i Institute of Marine Biology at Coconut Island are working on solar photovoltaic proj-ects, which turn solar energy into usable electricity. UH Maui Col-lege is entering the next phase of its parking lot solar panel project, which will both generate energy and provide shade to vehicles, according to Lynch.

He also said Kapi‘olani Commu-nity College engineering students were underway with a solar energy project of their own.

If the InteliSockets pilot proj-ect at the three campuses provessuccessful, Lynch said there wasa possibility the sockets would be installed at other UH campuses to conserve energy.

A ‘REVOLVING’ BUDGETLynch said that “green revolving

funds” are a big part of UH’s sus-tainability efforts and are commonin higher education institutionsacross America.

A green revolving fund, he explained, provides funding for an energy-saving project that in turnhelps fund another through the fi nancial savings reaped from an earlier project. These funds oftenhave three- to fi ve-year year pay-ment periods and see a 20-40 per-cent return on income.

Calling the funds “exciting,” hesaid green revolving funds had “potential to be a catalyst” forother sustainability-related proj-ects over time at UH.

COVER STORY

Page 4: 2015, June 22

TOM LINDERSTAFF WRITER

Shell Allure, a collection of Hawai-ian seashells, is now permanently on display at the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa’s Sinclair Library.

Amateur shell collector Jim Fen-ske contacted UH Mānoa Botany Department researcher Michael Thomas, a curator working with the UH Natural History museums, over two years ago to offer his assort-ment of over 150 species of marine mollusks for public display. Fenske, an active scuba diver in the 1970s, assembled his collection while div-ing near the Kame‘ole Beach Park II area on Maui.

“Many of these specimens are endemic, meaning they are only

found in Hawaiian Islands and nowhere else in the world,” Thomas said. “Today, some of the species have become increasingly diffi cult to fi nd due to the coastal development and environmental changes that have occurred in the past 50 years.”

CHOOSING A HOME It was important to Fenske that

the collection be displayed in a UH Mānoa library to be used as a bio-logical reference in the future.

“After having them for more than 40 years, I decided a better use would be to offer them to UH. I’m glad I made that decision and that you are able to witness this incred-ible display of biological diversity,” Fenske said.

Thomas prepared the exhibit

with Tom Klobe, a former director of the UH Art Gallery and a nation-ally recognized exhibition designer. Thomas and Klobe were assisted by Museum Studies intern Jason Foberg, who developed the exhibit

design, along with the labeling for the exhibit. Undergraduate curato-rial assistant in biology Reko Libby also played a signifi cant role in species identifi cation.

“Public libraries provide excellent

spaces [for] the public exhibition of natural history collections, where we can demonstrate the connec-tion of biological specimen based data to the published research and literature,” Thomas said.

INCREASING ACCESSIBILITY In addition to providing a public

place to display natural history col-lections like the Shell Allure exhibit, Thomas plans to digitize the collec-tion and display it online. This will

allow it to be available for a wider range of research and instruction. However, digitization isn’t limited to just shell collections.

“UH is leveraging Natural Science Foundation funding to complete the digitization of the university’s fl owering plant, lichen, algae, fungi and insect collections to provide the public with not only the dataassociated with specimen labels,but also photographs of everyspecimen,” Thomas said.

He felt that creating online digital databases for the future is an essen-tial step in studying current and future natural history collections.

“Providing greater access willhelp to ensure the long-term useof these unique museum specimen collections,” Thomas said.

RAVEN BELLAMYCONTRIBUTING WRITER

UH Mānoa received praise from an accrediting association in numerous academic areas, follow-ing an interim report.

Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) Vice Presi-dent Barbara Gross Davis noted immense progress and praise from the Interim Report Commit-tee’s review panel in a letter to UH Mānoa Chancellor Robert Bley-Vro-man on June 1.

A GOOD IMPRESSION“The Panel was extremely

impressed with UH Mānoa’s

Interim Report; it was well struc-tured, clearly focused, compre-hensive, and self-refl ective,” Gross Davis said.

In the letter, Gross Davis said the Interim Report Committee noted signifi cant progress in four aca-demic areas including student learning outcomes; retention, grad-uation and completion rates; stra-tegic planning; and Hawaiian Place of Learning.

The committee acknowledged Mānoa faculty’s involvement in developing, aligning and assess-ing student learning outcomes, as well as its well-crafted assessment process.

According to Gross Davis, the

panel praised UH Mānoa’s strategy to bolster retention, graduation and completion rates with committees and councils, clarifi cation of four year degree plans, identifi cation of curriculum blockages, improve-ments in housing and fi nancial aid, and a philosophical approach to help all groups graduate.

She also added the university has made progress in implement-ing the 2012 task force report rec-ommendations that supported UH Mānoa as a Hawaiian place of learning, citing an increase in the of degrees granted to Native Hawai-ians and an increase in Native Hawaiian faculty.

“The program enhancements in

the curriculum are positioning UH Mānoa as the leader in the study of native languages, culture and his-tory of Hawai‘ i,” Gross Davis said.

ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT“We’re not just working for great

accreditation reports, we’re work-ing on so many different fronts,” UH spokesman Dan Meisenzahl said. “We’re going to improve in every area that we can possibly improve.”

Meisenzahl stated that there is still much work to be done. Accord-ing to him, UH is hoping to greater improve graduation rates, upgrade facilities, keep tuition affordable, and changing curriculum to match the changing world.

“As the world changes we need to change with it,” Meisenzahl said.

WHAT IS WASC?According to the associa-

tion’s website, WASC is one of six regional accrediting associations in the United States that recog-nizes schools that meet a certain level of quality, in accordance with established, research-based WASC criteria.

The association’s accreditation process serves schools located in California, Hawai‘ i, Guam, the Com-monwealth of the Northern Mar-ianas, American Samoa and the Federated States of Micronesia.

KELCIE MURPHYSTAFF WRITER

The Offi ce of Student Affairs at the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa “encourages diversity and global awareness, character develop-ment, and campus and community engagement.” We are a school of opportunity, service, understanding, and it would only make sense if we value equal rights for all, regard-less if they live in our community or elsewhere.

UH Mānoa should lead the way among American universities and show support for Palestinians in their opposition to Israel. Students should encourage the Associated Students of the University of Hawai‘i to petition for a divestment pro-posal from the Israeli occupation. As a school and community, we can show that opposing oppression with pen and paper is the only long-term option for equality and justice.

When homes and schools and defenseless mothers and children are killed, it’s not war, but murder. Horror stories of children growing up in discrimination, poverty and fear of violence cannot be a value UH shares. Our school should act on these injustices.

WHAT IS BDS?The Boycott, Divestment and Sanc-

tions movement (BDS) is gaining force. BDS protests the Israeli occu-pation of Palestine, and the continu-ous murder of Palestinians, whether in Gaza and the West Bank or in the diaspora. Although it took off in 2005, it wasn’t until recently that it made an impact on media coverage.

Targets of BDS are also compa-nies benefi tting from the occupa-tion. These include pharmaceutical industries, crowd control weapons providers, arms contractors, heavy engineering machinery industries, and chemical plants on the Jordan River and Dead Sea.

Nobel Peace Prize laureate Des-mond Tutu endorsed a boycott for the Israeli occupation as early as 2002. Seven of the 10 University of California campuses followed suit over the last decade: Riverside, Santa Cruz, Davis, San Diego, Irvine, Los Angeles and Berkeley.

POLICY OF VIOLENCEIt’s apparent the Israeli govern-

ment has no intention of working for a two state solution, let alone grant basic human rights for Pal-estinians.

“[We] won’t divide Jerusalem … we won’t withdraw from land,” Prime Minister Netanyahu said in March.

Israeli lawmaker Ayelet Shaked called for the genocide of Pales-tinians and received nearly 5,000 Facebook likes. Minister of Defense Moshe Ya’alon called the Pales-tinian threat “cancer-like.” Deputy Defense Minister Eli Ben-Dahan said Palestinians “are beast, they are not human.”

Israeli settlements and expan-sions in the West Bank have long been declared illegal both by Israel

and international law, in respect to the Fourth Geneva Convention. The occupation has little concern for proportionality, or the Red Cross guidelines for acceptable con-duct during war. The Human Rights Council at the United Nations has found that Israel systematically vio-lates such considerations.

BDS IS NOT ANTI-SEMITISMMany Jews, particularly young,

secular, and reform ones, back the BDS movement, claiming there’s nothing more Jewish than support-ing human rights and dignity.

“As a Jew who was taught that to live the moral teachings of my tradition, I must call out injustice when I see it, I have been proud to be a part of this global move-ment for justice,” said Ilana Rossoff, a regional organizer for the Jewish Voice for Peace.

We can’t redefi ne anti-Semitism for political purposes. Throwing the term around avoids the issue of Israeli policies and only scares people from saying things that would label them as anti-Semites.

WHAT ABOUT ARAB RESISTANCE?Israel would welcome more Pal-

estinian violence as opposed to the

peaceful dissent of BDS, protests and journalism, so it could justify the harsh policies of occupation.

Yes, it is correct to say that some Palestinians commit horrid crimes against Jews, Zionists and Israelis. It is correct to say that people fl ee-ing a Holocaust deserve a place to live. It’s also true that it would be very diffi cult to be an Orthodox Jew walking down the streets of Cairo or Ramallah. There is no question that anti-Semitism is alive and well, and there are crimes against Jews daily.

But it is also correct to say that fi rst committed fi rst crime is the occupation itself. It is correct to say that Palestinians live in a state of terror every day. It is cor-rect to say that basic human rights are denied to Palestinians. Most

recently, there was even a bus seg-regation proposal, reminiscent of the U.S. Jim Crow law; fortunately, it was canceled soon after its imple-mentation. To say that there is no xenophobia against Palestinians in Israel would be foolish.

OUR ROLEU.S. foreign policy does not ben-

efi t from a Palestinian state. It’s interested in money and plagued by lockstep, while allowing illegal arms trade, but it’s unmoved by the call for true democracy and human rights. If democracy was a pivotal role in “the Western state of the Middle East,” there should be no problem letting Palestinians vote.

America is overall distant from Israeli violence in the occupied Palestinian territories. President Barack Obama even said that Pal-estinians “are not the easiest of partners.”

Such circumstances leave pri-vate citizens, NGOs, non-prof-its, and now universities to fi x the wrongs. So, rather than work-ing around the bureaucracy of the government, let’s take a small but impactful move to divest from the Israeli occupation and support equal rights for all.

Baseball fans, your eyes might bleed Royal Blue this summer. As the Major League Baseball 2015 All-Star Voting is in process, one team con-tinues to dominate the ballots even after the league decided to toss out 60 million of more than 300 million votes – the Kansas City Royals.

According to the most recent update, eight Royals players are still on top out of the nine spots open for voting. These players are: (C) Sal-vador Perez, (1B) Eric Hosmer, (2B) Omar Infante, (SS) Alcides Escobar, (3B) Mike Moustakas, (OF) Lorenzo Cain, and (OF) Alex Gordon. The only spot that hasn’t been royally occupied is the third outfi eld posi-tion. Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels, who was both last season’s AL MVP and All-Star MVP, is second behind Cain in the outfi eld with more than fi ve million votes.

Looking at each player’s statistics and numbers, several of the Roy-als players are not even doing as well as the players lagging behind in the voting. Take a look at Perez – he is currently hitting below .230. On the other hand, Infante’s sea-son has not been as great as the current runner-up, reigning AL bat-ting champion Jose Altuve of the Houston Astros, who’s .718 on-base plus slugging percentage is way above Infante’s pitiful .511 (worst OPS in the league). Not to men-tion, Detroit Tigers power slugger Miguel Cabrera is boasting an aver-age above .340, putting Hosmer’s .297 performance to shame.

Despite the fact that not all the Royals vote leaders are deserving of their positions, can they be at blame over their domination?

The All-Star voting outcome has always been in the fan’s control.

It is the fans — not the players, managers or league — that have the say in which players gets to fi ll each of the nine starting posi-tions available. Every fan voting is allowed up to 35 votes per day

for each position. While some are speculating that the Royal hijack-ing could be an actual hijacking job within the system (thanks to therecent hacking of the Astros’ sys-tem), MLB offi cials simply blame it all on the eagerness of Royals fansaround the country.

According to chief executive of MLB Advanced Media Bob Bowman, who was interviewed by Yahoo’s Jeff Passan, “We don’t really trum-pet it because if someone thinks they’re getting away with it, they’ll try to again.”

Passan also spoke with Infante, who simply expresses his gratitude to his fans.

“I have to be happy,” Infante said to Passan. “The fans vote for me. I’m happy about that. I can’t con-trol that. I’m happy because if I’m there, the opportunity to go to the All-Star Game is great.”

Though Hosmer, who could verywell take the fi rst base position with his decent performance, alsomarveled at being atop the polls.

“If I’m Miguel Cabrera, I’m look-ing at myself like, ‘Are you kidding me?’” Hosmer also said in the inter-view. “Miguel is a candidate andshould be the starter.”

Regardless of who the players think is deserving of the All-Star slots, they can only nod to what the fans want.

This brings up the question:should the players and managershave a part in deciding who gets to star in this midsummer classic?

Maybe the league should take this into consideration for the 2016 All-Star game. After all, this game is not just an exhibition of MLB’s most popular players – what’s at stakeis the World Series home-fi eldadvantage. For the Royals, whichis projected to be another playoffcontender, an American League win could stack up to their advantage in the long run.

So if you are dissapointed with the turnout so far, take the advice of Royals manager Ned Yost: “Getout and vote.”

Summer has offi cially kicked off, but what do you wear now that you’re studying sweats from this spring are safely secured back in your closet? This guide can help you make the most of the various trending patterns and have you looking your best this summer.

The fi rst thing that people look at when they see you is usually your head.

For guys, the summer holds the oppor-tunity to wear colorful caps and studded earwear. Since the Fourth of July is com-ing up, why not capitalize on the trend by wearing U.S. colors: red, white and blue?

These colors match almost anything and there are no shortage of colors on these colored caps found at PacSun or Lids. For earwear, colored studs are the new trend. You could match a red cap with white studs and still fall in line with the Fourth of July theme that’s so popular. For ear fashion, chains are all the rave this sum-mer. Try accessorizing any outfi t up with pretty fl oral or brass chains found at Icing or Claire’s along your ear for a daring sum-mer look.

For girls, one of the more popular trends this summer are boldly-shaded fl oral headbands. These headbands have bold colors such as fuchsia or aquama-rine and stand out especially well in the sun. They are perfect for any summer con-certs or parties you’re attending this sum-mer and will match lightly-colored outfi ts.

If you’re looking for headbands that won’t break your wallet, check out Icing for all your accessory needs. If you want more pricey jewelry that has one-of-a-kind designs and lasts longer, try check-ing American Eagle Outfi tters or Hollister.

The type of shirt you wear is import-ant in the summer and is usually one of the fi rst things people notice. Therefore, it’s important to fi nd the right patterns for summer amidst all the other styles.

For guys, graphic tees are very popular. Red, black and light and dark blue colored tees are especially trending this sum-mer. Graphic tees and tanks with Hawai-ian prints have also always been popular during this time. PacSun, T&C Surf and Prototype have some of the best graphic tees on the market and each of those stores also sell caps, so feel free to mix and match.

For girls, there are even more choices, and therefore, there are multiple trends for tops. One trend that is sure to never go out of style each summer is patterns. The hottest patterns being sold this sum-mer are tribal, U.S. and fl oral. Camis and halters are the top choices and can match any high-waisted skirts or shorts. Cropped crochet and lace are the most popular fabrics this season because of their cozi-ness and wide array of style choices.

Finally, for the girls who don’t want the stress of mixing and matching items, there are rompers that provide a cohesive look using little effort. All of these styles can be found for low prices at Forever 21 and Aero-postale. They can also be found at Hollister, American Eagle Outfi tters and PacSun for a higher price.

Shorts, shorts, shorts. Hawai‘ i summers always start off warm before getting hotter. To prepare yourself for the heat, do your-self a favor and wear cool clothes.

For guys, that means cargo shorts on land and board shorts for the beach. T&C Surf has a wide variety for both and has occasional sales that will give you the chance to grab the best ones and go. Denim shorts are also the perfect choice for a carefree summer look. PacSun also has a wide variety of shorts that are basic but more expensive. For girls staying with the Fourth of July trend, red, white and blue shorts with the American fl ag pat-tern are popular right now. These shorts are diverse and will easily set you apart because of its classic design. The shorts can also work well with all kinds of differ-ent tees that you can use year-round.

If you’re not into graphic shorts designs, then the classic faded denim shorts are also a great wear for the summer. Both of these shorts can be found at Forever 21 for a decent price or at American Eagle Outfi t-ters or Hollister for a bit more money.

If you want to wear something comfort-able yet stylish, fabric shorts have grown in popularity over the past few years with numerous new patterns to style up a blouse of your choice. These new fab-ric patterned shorts can be found both at PacSun and Hollister and are an option for upping your summer style.

An outfi t is never complete without a good pair of shoes that are both comfort-able and able to make a statement. The classic Vans shoes are a must have for the summer whether you are hiking, traveling or just having a night out in town. They come in many colors and can be used for any occasion.

For guys, I would recommend Vans Sk8-Hi shoes in darker colors that can match any of the tees you decide to use. For ladies, check out the Vans fl oral col-lection of shoes that are feminine, com-fortable and that match the skirts or the shorts that you choose to wear. For those who want to wear shoes with a bit of a bang, check out Vans’ new collection of cartoon print shoes. These include color-ful images of classic pop culture charac-ters in various styles. They are bright, loud and hard to tear your eyes away from.

With all of these style tips, you’re bound to be the center of attention this summer. It’s always good to step out and face the day with confi dence and fl air. So be ready to step out in style because this summer will be a memorable one. By following this guide and dressing it up, you are sure to be remembered.
