AARON HUNGER

Staff Writer

As the opening of another semester comes upon us, we need to all take a breath to ap -preciate what it is we do as a community around the univer-sity, including the t imes stu-dents may feel inconvenienced. We often become embroiled in daily functions. The hours of work that go into every element of the university’s community often cause us to lose sight of some of the unnoticed oppor-tunities that we are af forded as university citizens. When I say “university citi-zen,” I mean any connection to the university that may be as sim-ple as a discount at a store when showing a student ID. As you walk onto the campus and see the construction of our new student recreation center, you may become frustrated with

the inconvenience and want to avoid the campus, but remember that we are all here for that same reason. Every person who does something at UH Mānoa is con-tributing to the growth of knowl-edge at this institution. You may be standing next to one of our country’s best athletes and not even know it . You could be standing next to one of our many award-winning faculty members and not recog-nize them. Smile and remember that you’re in Hawaiʻi, one of the most beautiful and unique places on this planet. Instead of feeling fl ustered by the construction, get involved on campus. Hang out and have fun. We will learn to live with the new construction. If we all just come here to work, then it’s just another business where student equals product. We cannot allow our-selves to become that. We have to slow down and smile.

44 SS PORTS

Team has lost four in a row

MARC ARAKAKI

Associate Sports Editor

After a 9-3 start, the Rainbow Warrior basketball team has hit a skid at the start of Western Ath-letic Conference play. Hawai‘i put up a f ight on the road at Utah State, only losing to the conference favorite by eight points (74 -66). However, they’ve lost their last three WAC games by over 15 points and are now 0 -4 in the league. Head coach Gib Arnold at-tributed a lot of his team’s recent woes to a lack of leadership and

winning attitude. “We talked about leadership. We talked about changing the program from a losing program to a winning program,” Arnold said after their loss to Boise State on Saturday. “And I got too many guys who are used to losing and accept it. It ’s unacceptable. We need to expect to win and we need to expect to win together.” Arnold said the hard thing about having a winning attitude is that you can’t teach it. “There’s got to be a point where you expect to win,” Arnold said. “And that’s the toughest thing to teach. I don’t think there’s a book for it or a drill for it. It kind of just has to happen. And once it happens it’s a pretty beautiful thing.”

UP NEXT Hawai‘i (9-7, 0 -4 WAC) will travel to Las Cruces, NM, to play the New Mexico State Aggies on Thursday at 4 p.m. HST. They then head to Ruston, La., to play the Louisiana Tech Bull-dogs on Saturday at 3 p.m. HST.

“I want (the team) to come together on the road,” Arnold said. “I think the team felt a little pressured coming back home and maybe the road would be good for us in that we can bond and just concentrate on the task at hand.”

NMSU (8-9, 2-1 WAC) is com-ing off of an 80-68 victory over Fresno State at home Saturday night. The Aggies were led by se-nior forward Troy Gillenwater, who shot 7-of-12 from the fi eld, scoring 19 points. Gillenwater was right at his season average at 19.3 points

per game, which leads the team. Louisiana Tech (9-8, 0-3 WAC) host the San Jose Spartans on Thursday before hosting the ’Bows. The Bulldogs are led by senior guard DeAndre Brown and junior guard/forward Olu Ashaolu.

Brown is averaging 16.4 ppg and Ashaolu averages 15.3 ppg.

AMIS MAKES RETURN Senior forward Bill Amis, a native of Oklahoma City, Okla., is back after being sidelined by a stress fracture. Amis sat out 10 games before returning to the court on Thursday against Idaho. He appeared in 29 minutes, scoring six points. Amis played 29 minutes against Boise State and notched seven points. “We need to get him back to full strength,” head coach Gib Ar-nold said of his tri-captain. “If we get him back to full strength, then he’s going to help us. He’s not quite there yet though. But he wants to be and that’s half the battle.”

Arnold hopes ’Bows build winning attitude on roadArnold hopes ’Bows build winning attitude on road

I got too many guys who are used to los-ing and accept it. It’s unacceptable.

Today’s birthday (01/12/11). It’s time to come out of your shell. The world is your ocean. Take care of it, explore it and share it. Keep it free of clutter so you can swim more freely. Your career is important. Your space -- your ocean, your environment, your community -- is even more important. To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

Aries (March 21-April 19) -- Today is an 8 -- People tend to avoid change and the unfamiliar. Change can be good, though -- especially today. Rearrange your space and love it.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) -- Today is a 7 -- If you can’t get what you need close to home, look for it elsewhere. Traveling may suit your wandering spirit anyway. You’ll find what you’re seeking.

Gemini (May 21-June 21) -- Today is a 7 -- Save a little for priorities. To determine them, ask yourself, “Do I really need this?” Anything you can choose to live without is like money in the bank.

Cancer (June 22-July 22) -- Today is a 6 -- Budget what you have for what you’ll need. Your creativity and analytical nature may conflict with one another, so schedule the time and then get out the paints.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Today is a 5 -- Be practical. Today you make a good impression. Feed your inspiration by traveling, even if it’s just a walk around the block. This time away allows for new perspective.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Today is a 7 -- Practice delegating work. Today and tomorrow are good for travel, or for learning a new skill. Get in touch with a family member and appreciate them.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Today is a 7 -- You’re overly practical today. Balance that with a creative community project or by playing with kids. They remind you how to give and take without consequence.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Today is an 8 -- Put all your focus and energy into a new project. Either finish it or get into the completion phase. Plan the celebration for later.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Today is a 7 -- A conflict can be resolved, but don’t venture far, and keep money in pockets. Use communication skills online or by phone. You’ll be glad you spoke up.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Today is an 8 -- Strive for perfection. It may be there all along. Business interferes with pleasure. What if you could mingle both so that work and play were interchangeable?

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Today is a 7 -- All may not go as planned. Conserve resources, even if abundant. Who knows what’s next? A mirage appears on the horizon, and something gets revealed.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Today is a 6 -- You tried something, and it didn’t work. You can convince others to do it for you instead. Agree to keep expenses down for mutual benefit.

Warriors open season with Outrigger Invite

MARC ARAKAKI

Associate Sports Editor

The start of 2011 brings a new attitude for the Warrior vol-leyball team. “We just know so much more about ourselves,” second-year head coach Charlie Wade said. “We know what we got, we know who can score, what we do well and (are) just more familiar with each other. “That’s a real strength,” he continued. “Who we are and what we are is clearer to us (this sea-son) and that adds some confi -dence to what we’re doing.” Hawai‘i fi nished 2010 ranked No. 4 with a 19-10 record. The Warriors reached the semifi nals of the Mountain Pacifi c Sports Federation tournament before bowing out to eventual national champion, Stanford. Wade’s first year was excep-tional, considering the Warriors were only 9-18 the season before he took over. “We made a nice run last year,” Wade said. “We know we can beat really good teams so we absolutely know we got a chance to be in the hunt. We got a little taste of it last year and we just want to keep going.”

OPENING TOURNEY The Warriors, ranked No. 5

in the AVCA poll, will open 2011 by hosting the 17th Outrigger Ho-tels Invitational, Jan. 13 to 15 at the Stan Sheriff Center. The Warriors open with No. 14 Ball State on Thursday, fol-lowed by No. 10 Penn State on Friday, and then concludes with No. 8 UCLA on Saturday.

All Hawai‘i matches are sched-ule to start at 7 p.m. “One of our goals every year is to win the Outrigger Hotels Invita-tional,” Wade said. “It’s going to be a premium fi eld and the rankings don’t matter as much as we get a chance to play three real quality op-ponents and play them at home.”

KEY PLAYERS Headlining the returning starters is the reigning sophomore opposite hitter Jonas Umlauft, the reigning AVCA Newcomer of the Year and fi rst team All-American selection. Umlauft led the MPSF with 5.29 kills per game and 5.97 points per game. Senior outside hitter Joshua Walker fi nished eighth in the MPSF with 4.97 kills per game and was a second team All-American. Senior setter Nejc Zemljak, an all-MPSF honorable mention selection and junior outside hitter Steven Hunt also return.

“It ’s huge,” Wade said on having four returning starters. “That ’s part of why we really are pretty confident in what we have. We got four guys that have played a lot and have played at a really high level.” Matt Rawson (middle block-er), Ric Cervantes (libero) and

Steven Grgas (middle blocker) were the remaining three starters from last year’s squad, but have used up their eligibility. Wade will look to senior Bren-non Dyer and freshman Shane Welch to shore up the middle po-sition. Nick Castello, from Hono-lulu, is expected to start at libero. “Brennon Dyer has played a lot for us,” Wade said. “Shane Welch, who’s a 6 -foot-10 fresh-man from Florida, figures to con-tribute quite a bit.” With three new starters on the court, Walker will use this week as a springboard to prepare for the long journey throughout the season. “We want to get our tendencies down on the court,” Walker said. “We just want to just get consis-tent as far as making adjustments in the game because Ball State isn’t going to play the same way as Penn State so we got to make those transitions every night.”
