ANGEL RUSSELL Contributing Writer

The University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa announced last Thursday that it has been honored with a new national ranking of bicycle-friendly universities. This marks the fi rst time that the League of Bi-cycle Friendly America has given awards to universities. They an-nounced the Spring 2011 award at the National Bike Summit hosted in Washington, D.C. on March 9. The League of Bicycle Friend-ly America is a program that pro-motes bicycling for fun, fi tness and education, and works to educate America about the bicyclist com-munity. They hope that they can gain recognition for the cyclist community and help universities and businesses become more bicy-cle-friendly. Of the 32 universities that ap-plied, 20 of them were given hon-orable designations. The goal is to honor the universities that provide an exceptional environment for cy-cling and add to the cyclist commu-

nity within the university. Many students around the uni-versity bike as their main source of transportation. Amanda Murdock,

an art student at UHM, said, “Al-though I have a car, I bike to school every day, because the commute is easier and there is no fee for park-

ing your bike like there is ... to park your car. “It’s easier than walking, and I get my exercise in for the day. I

don’t have to worry about search-ing for a spot ... since there are bike racks by all of the buildings. The campus has made it very easy for me to get around on a bike.” Contributions from Cycle Mānoa, a student volunteer organi-zation founded in 2008, helped UH Mānoa gain recognition for being a bicycle-friendly school. The orga-nization consistently holds events and programs that are designed for the campus cyclist community. Recent innovations include free bike repairs for students in need. Cycle Mānoa also provides hands-on learning in bike repair and bike safety. Each semester, the volunteers hold a daylong bicycle sale for stu-dents who want a safe, reliable and affordable bike. At the sale in Feb-ruary, most of the bicycles were sold within the fi rst hour. The UH Mānoa BicyclingCommittee also helped UH earn the title. Its mission is to create an environment that will increase

bicycle use, with an emphasis on creating safer and more accessi-ble roads and paths, as well as im-proving bicycle resources on cam-pus. The UHMBC is also working on more biking programs for the student cyclist community. Ann Sakuma, from the Offi ce of the Vice Chancellor for Admin-istration, Finance and Operations for UH Mānoa, said that “bike ac-tivities have been increasing each semester, especially under the leadership of Cycle Mānoa.” In April, UH Mānoa staff, faculty and students will receive feedback from the panel of judg-es from the League of American Bicyclists. This will advise UHM how to become a more bicycle-friendly campus. Campus orga-nizations that worked with the

league include Mānoa Bicycling Committee, Cycle Mānoa, the parking offi ce, facilities, campus security and the planning offi ce. Sakuma outlined the initial process. “When the feedback is received, campus units involved in this endeavor will be gathering to review and discuss the comments, so that goals complement the univer-sity’s long-range development plans ... [as well as] can be established to improve the bicycle and pedestrian environment here on campus.” One UHM student cyclist, who asked to remain anonymous, is hop-ing that this new recognition will help implement more bike trails and racks for the cyclists on campus. “I really enjoy biking to school. It saves me time and money, since I’m not wasting cash on gas driv-

ing around trying to fi nd a parking spot.” The student said one area for improvement is the campus popu-lation. “Sometimes I do fi nd it chal-lenging riding through some of the paths, since there are always so many students walking, and I have to maneuver around them. “Although sometimes riding on the paths can be a little diffi cult, I can see why the school gained that honor. ... There are so many people who bike like me, and I didn’t see that back where I am from, so it’s cool to see that sense of biker com-munity here on campus.” Sakuma noted the university’s commitment to continuing im-provement. “Due to limited space at the university, having bike paths on campus is a challenge, but [it] will be a long-term goal.”

Imagine that you are unable to access You-Tube or Netfl ix because your Internet service provider decided to cut down on bandwidth. Or, imagine you can-not access Facebook because

your ISP does not want you pub-licly and privately complaining against ISPs. This is what Net Neutral-ity aims to prevent. We take for granted the privileges we have on the Internet, such as the free-dom to access whatever content we want and to share information. The Internet was created to allow sites such as Youtube to succeed based on their own merits. Comcast’s experimentation with peer-to-peer throttling in 2008 refl ected the greed of ISPs and prompted the Federal Com-munications Commission to cre-ate Net Neutrality rules. In late 2010, the FCC approved the “lite” version of Net Neutrality called the “Open Internet Order.” The purpose of the rules is to “preserve the open Internet as a platform for innovation, invest-ment, competition and free ex-pression,” according to the FCC. This would prevent content-banning and require ISPs to be nondiscriminatory in their send-ing of data. MetroPCS and Verizon sued the FCC in order to stop net neu-trality regulations. However, their opposition to the rules are due to their stake in the wireless busi-

n e s s , knowing that the FCC’s ap-

proval of the bill would pave the way toward wireless regulations. Commissioner Robert M. Mc-Dowell, who voted against the or-der, said it would face a “collision course with Congress.” And collide it did. Recently, the rules came across a roadblock in Congress. The House Subcommit-tee on Communications and Tech-nology disapproved of the rules by 15 ayes to eight nays. Republican Greg Walden insist-ed, “The Internet works pretty well. It’s the government that doesn’t.” Republican Fred Upton agreed: “There is no crisis war-ranting intervention.” In spite of these Republicans’ beliefs in the market regulating its own industries, it would be foolish not to question what ISPs may do without necessary regulation. We may be looking at a future where the free Internet and websites ac-cessed at whim are long gone. Some members of Congress may be uninformed of the im-plications of an unregulated In-ternet, especially when the age demographics of political players are considered. While it seems paradoxical, the Internet needs regulation now, to ensure a freer Internet tomorrow.

Little choices, chari-table calculations

LYNN NAKAGAWA Senior Staff Writer

It ’s diffi cult to donate time or money to charitable causes when so many of us work hard to make ends meet. I’ve often thought, if I sacri-fi ce $20 worth of coffee drinks,

or eat out fewer times a month, I can give to a cause that needs it more than I do. It can be diffi cult to make changes for a cause, but there’s also a joy in it. I decided to donate $20 to the Hawai‘i Foodbank by spending less money on food. To do this, I decided to make more of my own meals. From this, I discovered that a blender is a miracle worker, eating more vegetables can actu-ally increase happiness (as well as health), and that we don’t always

have to eat much to be satisfi ed. I know the realities we deal with. According to a cost of liv-ing calculator, living in Hono-lulu costs 66 percent more than the national average. The cost of housing is 147 percent above the average, and groceries in Hono-lulu cost 59 percent more than the national average. Many students work part time and still struggle. While my brother was unemployed for a

few months, he subsisted on tuna sandwiches and ramen. When I worked as a barista, it was unarguably a diffi cult job. I’ve had friends work similar jobs. Never underestimate how hard those in food service work; it ’s defi nitely a grind – and most of those jobs rely heavily on tips. Many of us have the privilege of discerning how we spend our dollars. We make choices every day, whether it is an extra beer, another top from the mall or the

latest electronic device. I don’t be-little those things – I understand the role they play in our happiness and culture. But the fact is, ab-staining from even the smallest of these purchases can enable us to make a donation (however small) to a good cause. It might not be for everyone. But I challenge myself in small ways because many don’t have a choice. Some are dependent on donations to improve their conditions. There are so many causes, and the world is full of suffering, but alleviating some of that by reallocating a few of our dollars is powerful. Being a student is about bal-ance. The choices that we make now shape us as the next genera-tion. We do what we can. Ideally, I would like to give more time and money to good causes. I’m limited, as many of my peers are, but it might be good practice to choose at least one and make a positive difference in a small way. It might be a one-time thing, or it could lead to a lifetime of giving what we can and being grateful for the things we have.

Take the trip up to the northeast shore and you’ll be hooked. Lanikai, in Kailua, is a small beach hidden behind an affl uent residential area with limited, somewhat hidden public access paths. Lanikai is home to warm, glassy, turquoise-blue waters and soft sand. Quiet dur-ing the week, Lanikai gets crowded on weekends. Continue past Kailua Beach Park onto A‘alapapa Drive, then turn left onto one of the side streets to fi nd parking and beach access.

From March 19 to 27, both the highly motivated and exceptionally underperforming student will have something in common: the need to get some serious studying done. But whether your goal is to fi n-ish a paper that’s due in May or to open your textbook for the fi rst time, there are a variety of Spring Break study schedules to suit your needs.

THE 9 TO 5 Treat your studying as a full-time job. From 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., focus exclusively on schoolwork. Study in half-hour to one-hour blocks and take fi ve to ten-minute breaks. After 5 p.m., clock out for the day and stop thinking about homework. Go to the movies,

treat yourself to a nice dinner, or fi nd another way to relax and re-charge your brain.

THE NIGHT SHIF T If your spring break day schedule is fi lled with surfi ng, stand-up paddleboarding or Poke-mon Black and White, then sched-ule yourself for the night shift. Between the hours of 5 p.m. and 1 a.m., concentrate on your home-work while making time for din-ner and TV breaks.

THE PART-T IMER If your academic needs are less urgent, work a part-time shift. Spend four hours each day on homework. Even if you aren’t trying to make up for past work this semester, the part-time shift is an excellent choice for the stu-

dent who wants to read or start writing the rough draft of crucial fi nal papers.

THE VACATION STUDIER If you have killer Spring Break plans and are taking a full -f ledged vacation, then it ’s unlikely you can devote eight-hour workdays to studying. In-stead, turn idle moments into productive time. Aggressively study while you’re waiting at the airport, on the plane, or staying up late because of jet lag. Plan to take one full day early in your vacation to get hardcore study-ing done. Regardless of your goals, Spring Break is an excellent op-portunity to either catch up or get ahead before the final stretch of the semester.

STUDY TIPSPLAN AHEADHamilton and Sinclair Libraries will be closed from Saturday, March 19 to Friday, March 25. Check out books or reference materials that you’ll need over break well in advance.

START EARLYDon’t wait until the last half of Spring Break to put your study plan in action. Start early on Friday night or Saturday morning to get momentum.

REWARD YOURSELFA balance of work, breaks and

fun is crucial to the emotion-al and mental health of any student. If you’re pulling an eight hour study shift, then be sure to plan rewards for your-self, such as watching mind-numbing TV shows or taking a nap.

BRAIN FOODIn the words of “ The Office” egomaniac Dwight Schrute, “If you wanna win, you gotta fuel like a winner.” Stock up on delicious brain-powering foods such as salmon, blueber-ries and almonds.

ELLISE AKAZAWA

Managing Editor You might not be headed to Mexico or Jamaica for Spring Break, but there’s no reason you can’t vacation like you are. Make the most of Hawai‘i’s beauti-ful beaches and tropical climate by rent-ing a beach house.

BEACH HOUSES VS. HOTELS Hotels , motels and hostels are f requent venues of choice for the col lege set . T he lower cost and ease of booking mean that these t ypes of accommodat ion are of ten bet ter suited to a student ’s budget and busy schedule. Beach houses, in contrast, can be signif icantly more expensive. Where beach houses win is in the better

value offered for your student dollar. Beach houses can offer a more private, secluded experience. Additionally, instead of eating out for every meal or subsisting on pack-aged convenience foods, beach houses often feature kitchens or kitchenettes which allow you to cook for yourself and your guests. You also don’t need to worry about expensive hotel park-ing or resort fees.

RESEARCH The f irst step to a beach house rental is to determine the number of people who will be staying. Rentals have a maximum number of guests, varying from two to 16, depending on the size of the house. But beware – the rental cost may not include man-datory cleaning fees, which can run

into the hundreds of dollars depend-ing on the length of your stay. Additionally, many beach houses have a minimum number of rental nights. This means you might not be able to score a house only for the week-end – you might need to rent it out for five to seven days instead.

F INDING AN AGENCY There are dozens of agencies specializing in Hawai‘i beach house rentals. Before you book, be sure you understand the f ine print. Is the de -posit refundable? What is the policy on damages? How much is the cleaning fee, and does it depend on the number of people in the house? It ’s advisable to actually speak to an agency repre -sentative and research the company’s customer rating online.

THE FACTS Many rental agencies do not like rent-ing to college students, based on Spring Breakers’ notorious party behavior. In fact, when contacted to comment on this story one rental agent laughed and then declined to offer rental advice to students. While you don’t need to advertise that you are a group of students, you should make every effort to follow the rules. As a group, discuss your ground rules and expectations before you set foot in the house. Ensure that each person agrees to pay for any damage that he or she incurs. Decide who will pay for the food, deposit and actual rental fee, and set a deadline by which people should be reimbursed. Ultimately, the key to a success-ful Spring Break beach rental is to do your homework, stay out of trouble, and have a great time.

Warriors trying to con-tinue winning streak

MARC ARAKAKI

Associate Sports Editor

Some players on the men’s volleyball team will enjoy a homecoming away from Hawai‘i. Junior middle blocker Jarrod Lofy, junior outside hitter Ian McKelvie and junior libero Troy Crutchfield are from the Long Beach, Calif. area, while seven other Warriors grew up in neigh-boring areas. The players from Southern California are looking forward to playing in front of their friends and families when the Warriors play the Long Beach State 49ers

this Friday and Saturday. “They come out to all the games [in Southern California],” Lofy said about his friends and family. “It ’s no different whether we’re playing [at] USC or UCLA [either].” But head coach Charlie Wade and his team don’t see this road trip as a vacation. “I love going home, but Coach [Wade] would say it all the time, ‘It ’s a business trip,’” Lofy said. “I don’t care who we’re playing or where we’re playing, I want to win. I know [Long Beach State] wants to win, and I know we want to win.” Wade explained why many volleyball players come out of Southern California. “Volleyball is a big deal there because you can play it all year-

round. It ’s a hot bed for volley-ball,” Wade said. But even though Lofy enjoys playing at home, he still has alo-ha for the islands. “It ’s just an awesome place,” Lofy said about the University of Hawai‘i. “Originally when I came out here, I wasn’t too sure if I wanted to stay or not, but every time I go home I realize why I love this place more. It ’s the culture. It ’s the people. I can’t say anything bad about it.”

ON THE ROAD The No. 10 Warriors (10 -9, 8 -6 Mountain Pacific Sports Fed-eration) will head out on their fi-nal regular season road trip after a four-game winning streak. They will play the 49ers this

week, then will head to Provo, Utah to play BYU on Thursday, March 24 and Friday, March 25. Both matches against the 49ers will be at 5 p.m. HST. No. 5 Long Beach State (10 -8, 8 -5 MPSF) is coming off of a four-set victory over Penn State. The 49ers were led by junior op-posite Jim Baughman, who put down a team-high 13 kills while hitting .478. “It ’s a tough road trip,” se-nior setter Nejc Zemljak said. “We’re entering two of the tough-est gyms in the country. We’re just going to make sure we come dialed in to practice and getting used to the gym, so we can per-form in the game.”

THE GREAT WALL OF HAWAIʻI This year, Hawai‘i has not

been known for its blocking. However, in last Saturday’s match against Pacific, Hawai‘i had 18 blocks in three sets – its highest block total of the season. “It makes the game pretty simple,” Wade said of blocking. “It ’s an easy way to score direct points. We like to think that our serving kind of helps get our blocking going. It puts our team in advantageous situations.” And for senior outside hitter Josh Walker, who averages over three kills per game, good block-ing lifts a load off his shoulders. “It ’s just us working hard all the way around,” Walker said. “We focus on trying to stop teams, and sometimes it ’s like ‘we’ll just play offense tonight.’ It ’s good that we can get both of them going at the same time.”

Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

2828 SSPORTSJAKE CAMARILLO

Senior Staff Writer

Senior Rainbow Wahine diver Emma Friesen has established herself as one of the University of Hawai‘i’s best in history. Since her freshman year in 2006, Fri-esen has won the 2008 NCAA 1-meter na-tional championship and Western Athletic Conference titles each season. In 2008, Friesen was the NCAA Wom-en’s Tri-Diver of the Year and a recipient of the WAC’s Joe Kearney Award, which is given to the conference’s top male and fe-male athletes. She is also a two-time WAC diver of the year. “I came when I was 17, and I really was just a kid ready for an adventure,” Friesen said. “I was the dinky little young fresh-man just trying to fi gure my way.” Friesen is on a quest to show that she isn’t fi nished just yet. She’ll have one more shot at a national championship this Thursday through Sat-urday at the NCAA Women’s Swimming and Diving National Championships in Austin, Texas. “I like to call it my victory lap because I’m a super senior now,” Friesen said. “I’m older, and it all happened really fast.”

OVERCOMING INJURIES UH diving head coach Mike Brown is high on Friesen’s career. “She’s been one of the most produc-tive athletes that we’ve [UH] had in almost any of the sports,” Brown said. “She’s been pretty amazing.” Friesen holds the highest point total for 1-meter diving in UH’s record book. But it wasn’t always easy for Friesen. The Vancouver, Canada native was forced to red-shirt the 2009-‘10 season with an ankle injury. “[It was] very, very, very diffi cult,” Fries-en said. “I don’t know any other way to put it. I’m still on the mend and on my way back.” But Friesen has handled the adversity well. “I’m very honored to have a reputation that allows me to have such great athletes and great people understand that it’s been a bit of a

rocky road,” Friesen said. “There’s been a lot of downs, and I’ve been really successful, but it hasn’t been without drama in between.”

The Rainbow Wahine diving program suffered in Friesen’s absence. “She was missed badly in that we didn’t

get anybody in the NCAA Championships last year,” Brown said. “It was good to have her at the WAC meet because we moved up to second from sixth place.” Senior diver Stephanie De Lima, who is also from Canada, saw Friesen’s frustrations. “It was hard to see that she actually struggled to go back to the level that she was at before,” De Lima said. “[But] she was just 100 percent positive. That just brings that positive energy to the whole team.”

ANOTHER T ITLE RUN Friesen took off Fall 2010 – which would have been her last semester of col-lege – to train for her return. “She worked pretty hard, but she couldn’t do a lot of things because of her ankle,” Brown said. “She got herself healthy and came back in really good physical shape.” Friesen’s return was successful. This year, she won her second WAC Diver of the Year award. She also captured her fourth WAC title in the 1-meter dive and second title in the 3-meter. “It ’s just showing that I’m not gone and I’m coming back,” Friesen said. “In the process of doing so, I’m starting to feel like a diver and an athlete again.” She earned a spot in this week’s NCAA Championships after qualifying in the Zone E Qualifying Meet last week. “To qualify again, it was great,” Fries-en said. “The thing about qualifying at that meet is you’re so stressed out, sitting there like, ‘Am I going to make it?’ “I’ve never been so nervous about a meet two weeks before.” Brown noticed Friesen’s stress levels rising, but believes Friesen will be fi ne. “She seemed nervous for the zone meet because it was a really intense meet,” Brown said. “Now that she’s in the nationals, she’s more calmed down and she’s ready to go.”

RITENBERG ALSO IN NCAAS Rainbow Wahine sophomore swim-mer Taylor Ritenberg will also compete at the NCA A Championships in the 200 breaststroke, 100 breaststroke and 200 individual medley.
