Study finds ADHD increase linked to high air pollution levels Attention Deﬁcit Hyperactivity Disorder may be on the rise due to high levels of air pollution. Researchers at Columbia University’s Center for Children’s Environmental Health found that children exposed to high levels of air pollution during pregnancy were ﬁve times more likely to have the disorder by age nine.

The women killed and injured were part of a sterilization surgery “camp” who were each paid 1,400 rupees ($23) to go through the surgery. Indian health officials created sterilization drives to control population growth. They pay or persuade women to take part in the surgery in unsanitary conditions. Four local health department officials have been suspended due to the deaths and injuries. District officials are creating an investigation and expect the results of by Wednesday. SOURCE: CNN

ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi releases audio statement against Western powers. The Islamic State (ISIS) group militant leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi released an audio statement Thursday, asking disciples to “erupt volcanoes of jihad everywhere.” According to a monitoring organization known as the SITE Intelligence Group, the statement posted online would be the ﬁrst indication that the militant leader is still alive, after rumors that he was killed last weekend in American airstrike.

Militants of Baghdadi have seized large areas of Syria and Iraq and have created a major new confrontation with Western powers led by the United States.

Cryptowall ransomware attacking Hawai‘ i small businesses Cryptowall, a form of ransomware, has attacked at least two dozen small businesses in Hawai‘ i since October, according to the Honolulu Police Department. The virus launches into a user’s system via email, and can look like a normal business email asking to see the attached information for your business. The virus will encrypt all the data on the computer as well as others in the network. A code following a countdown clock will appear on the screen after being clicked on, and will demand from the user to pay a ransom ranging from $500 and up. Users are advised to take precaution against the virus by doing things such as a routine backup for the computer and never opening unfamiliar emails or links. SOURCE: HAWAII NEWS NOW

Islamic State group to make its own currency Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, leader of the Islamic State (ISIS) terror organization, has ordered its followers to start making its own coin currency. Islamic dinar’s purchasing power would be its weight in gold, silver and copper. This comes after ISIS seized large areas of Iraqi and Syrian territory earlier this year and proclaimed a caliphate on lands under its control. It has also sought to implement its harsh interpretation of Islamic law, or Sharia.

“College students are maintaining their own budgets and making purchases for themselves, so they hold a lot of buying power,” Kōkua Hawai‘i Director of Program Development Natalie McKinney said in an email interview. “Switching from single-use plastics to resuables is one way to become a conscious consumer. You actually end up saving money by carrying a reusable water bottle.” Kōkua Market also donated glass Mason jars for the event. “It’s doubly important that it comes from the students because when your peers talk about a project or an initiative and they show how it can be done, it’s much more powerful than someone else,” Lynette Larson, Kōkua general manager, said in a phone interview. “We have even more of a responsibility because we are an island and where does all of the waste go?

UH group to host plastic-free week

Thirty-two million tons of plastic waste were generated in the country in 2012, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. NOELLE FUJII NEWS EDITOR

THE ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS OF SINGLE-USE PLASTICS

Sustainable UH will host its ﬁrst plastic-free week in Campus Center this week. “Our mission is to facilitate a permanent attitude shift among the student body to understand that it is possible to reduce their single-use plastic waste and have more sustainable choices and sustainable living practices,” Rachael Roehl, a member of Sustainable UH, said. “It’s very simple and students can do it too.” The student organization will table across Jamba Juice from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day except Thursday.

According to John Valera, an environmental planner from the state Department of Health, the Deposit Beverage Container Program collected over 247 million plastic containers – made of type 1 and 2 plastics – statewide in ﬁscal year 2014. In addition, more than 123 million plastic type 1 and 2 deposit beverage containers were not redeemed at redemption centers that year. Plastic doesn’t biodegrade, Sustainable UH member Robert Hennessy said. “It just breaks down into smaller particles,” he said. “It doesn’t ever disappear and so that gets into

the food chain. And you have ﬁsh eating that and people eating ﬁsh and so on and so forth, as well as pollution at your favorite beach.” The student organization will have one table of games for students to answer questions about plastic pollution and sustainable living, according to Roehl. In addition, the group will also put up whiteboards, one of which will have statistics on plastic pollution, and another for students to write their sustainability ideas on. The group will be giving out reusable water bottles, utensil sets and T-shirts, according to Hennessey. Kōkua Hawai‘i donated reusable water bottles and tote bags that will be given away throughout the week.

ecosystem and we see the ﬁrsthand effects of what plastic pollution does.” A LONG TERM GOAL

Prohibiting single-use plastic is a long-term goal for the group, according to Hennessy. “We’re planting a seed for change,” he said. “In the future, deﬁnitely, that will be, it’s going to be implemented at some point.” But for now, the group hopes its plastic-free week will have an impact. “You can’t underscore the importance of getting people to switch over,” Hennessy said. “The problem is it is convenient to get a plastic water bottle or to get your plastic utensils, but it’s one of those things, it’s not in your backyard yet as far as seeing the effects of the plastic waste, but it’s there and it’s really important that we really push that awareness for a week at the very least.” Roehl thinks a lot of students care about the environment and

UH hopes to get more students using reusable options, such as reusable water bottles and utensils. “It’s important to reach out to students because this is the future, the people who are becoming educated and possibly going into politics or economics and making important decisions for future businesses, and the more sustainable decisions they could make, the better off our planet is going to be,” Roehl said. “Especially in Hawai‘i where we have such a beautiful marine

Mānoa, system need to plan together, VC says Dasenbrock proposes that Mānoa adopt graduation rates, innovation MEAKALIA PREVICH-LIU ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

Reed Dasenbrock, vice chancellor for academic affairs, plans to link the University of Hawai‘i Strategic Directions for 2015-2021 with the UH Mānoa Strategic Plan. “We are creating a Mānoa strategic plan and we believe that it’s going to be more effective if it ﬁts in well with the system strategic plan because then there’s no conﬂict between the two plans,” Dasenbrock said in a phone interview. “We would adopt the system strategic directions and we would adapt them for Mānoa’s use.” The new plan, which is still a work in progress, was presented to the Associated Students of the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa last

week Wednesday, Nov. 12, and then to the Strategic Planning Committee the following Thursday, Nov. 13. The Mānoa strategic plan, a separate document, is not connected to the UH system’s strategic plan, Dasenbrock said, which has caused confusion among people who don’t understand the difference between University of Hawai‘i and the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. “What we want to try to do is to actually map the system strategic plan and the Mānoa strategic plan so that they are a lot more in sync,” he said. “We don’t want them to be conﬂict.” The system’s strategic directions would be used as a reference point to begin with, he said, as the system’s directions do not specify what Mānoa will do in response.

UH’S STRATEGIC PLAN

The UH system strategic plan has four directions, the ﬁrst one known as the Hawai‘ i Graduation Initiative. According to Dasenbrock, UH Mānoa is making progress for enhancing student success and trying to do more with retention and graduation rates. “President Obama has set the goal of 60 percent of young adults having some sort of post-secondary credential by 2025, and this is a way of Hawai’i trying to do our part,” he said. The second direction, the Hawai‘ i Innovation Initiative (HI2), is to make sure that Hawai‘ i has a vibrant research economy. “The University of Hawai‘ i is a huge, robust research enterprise. We’ve done a really good job here building a research university, but

we haven’t done nearly as good a job ﬁlling out an economy,” he said. In addition, the plan will focus on the 21st Century Facilities (21CF) direction and upgrade for classrooms and buildings around the Mānoa campus while having a High Performance System of Higher Education will help to deﬁne Mānoa’s role in the UH system. “Hawai‘i is one of the only states in which all of higher ed is in essentially one system, and there are advantages to that and challenges as well,” he said. “So high performing system is really about trying to make things work better across the campuses.” ALIGNING THE TWO PLANS

According to Dasenbrock, the strategic planning committee has

just begun to talk about aligning the two documents. “We don’t have anything like a complete proposal,” he said. “This is something that is changing as we have more conversations; it’s certainly not final.” Dasenbrock said there’s nothing in the UH system strategic plan to disagree with, but that it will be relatively easy to come up with concrete Mānoa directions that match and fit in with the overarching systems strategic directions. “What we’re envisioning is coming up with two Mānoa initiatives for each system strategic direction,” he said. “So roughly eight major things that we want to try to do in the next five years and their pretty much going to be common sense kinds of things – then the work begins.”

Campus housing still needs renovations, officials say COURTNEY TEAGUE STAFF WRITER

Despite a longstanding need for renovations to its living facilities, UH Mānoa Student Housing Services (SHS) has no plan for immediate action. Although a State audit released in 2007 found UH Mānoa housing facilities did not sufficiently provide for the safety and security of students, SHS has yet to begin many of the much-needed repairs to their complexes. “The [Noelani and Wainani] apartments need to be modernized,” Michael Kaptik, director of student housing, said in an email interview. According to Kaptik, SHS is currently in the process of reviewing its complexes for potential renovation. He confirmed the review, which began over summer, is expected to conclude by the end of this semester. In 2007, a visiting team of consultants picked to evaluate by the Association of College and University Housing Officers International deemed both Noelani and Wainani “unsafe and a publicity nightmare.” They recommended the apartment complexes for demolition. SHS was unable to find and provide a copy of the report. “An audit conducted at the time [was released in 2007, conducted in 2006] did recommend demolition, but there were no recommendations as to what would replace the apartments. Replacing the apartments while building and renovating … would have increased

costs signiﬁcantly,” Francisco Hernandez, UH Mānoa vice chancellor for students, said. Campus Director of Communications Diane Chang declined to comment on where housing was on the Chancellor’s list of priorities, but maintained “the welfare of students and the entire campus community is always a top priority.” PILIKIA SYSTEM UNDER MAINTENANCE

A 2006 survey conducted by the University of Hawai‘i showed students living in the campus apartments were consistently more likely to be dissatisﬁed with their living circumstances. The survey also showed that students ranked pest control, room maintenance, and

because it breaks or just doesn’t work from the start, and when you ﬁll out a pilikia there is really no telling if somebody will come to help you or not,” Frances Donnelly, a resident of Hale Noelani, said. She said that her oven hadn’t worked since she moved in, and despite ﬁlling out multiple pilikias, nobody had come to survey the damage. She recalled her experience living in the lowrises last year before the department ordered all window screens be bolted down – people could pop open the screen and crawl in through the window, and burglary was a serious concern. Donnelly believes that the best way to repair the apartment com-

condition of appliances and furniture among their areas of least satisfaction in residential life. According to Dana Yoshimura, associate director of operations at SHS, the Pilikia system is undergoing maintenance in lieu of “a new work order system” and cannot provide past statistics at this time for comparison. Yoshimura was able to conﬁrm that in fall 2014 alone about 2,000 pilikias have been responded to by staff. “Things don’t work, not because of operator error … It would be

plexes would be to completely renovate or possibly even to demolish them as a first step, like in the Frear project. “Doorknobs are rusty, floorboards are falling off, paint is definitely chipped, there’s just a lot … You’ll just find things throughout your daily routine. Like if you need something, it won’t work,” she said. PREVIOUS HOUSING PROJECTS

Kaptik noted that close to $140 million has been spent on several phased projects dedicated to improv-

ing housing facilities since 2007, and impressive progress has been made. None of these completed projects, however, included the school’s only two apartment complexes. Despite the numerous needed repairs in existing complexes, Hernandez confirmed that SHS is currently partnering with a consultant firm to “review options, consult with students and develop proposed alternatives” in their quest to expand facilities and make room for more students. “The number one priority for student housing is to provide better housing options for our students. Those options need to include improved accommodations through repair, maintenance, renovation,and new buildings,” Hernandez said. Though Kaptik declined to comment about whether or not any significant repairs were scheduled on any of the nine complexes SHS manages, he said, “SHS is constantly evaluating and monitoring the repair needs of Student Housing properties.” Donnelly stressed the importance of having a comprehensive student housing program that stays on top of issues at a school where so many students are from out of state and depend upon finding local housing options. “If your student housing isn’t welcoming or accommodating to the demographic of your student body, why would they come to this school? This is where they live, this is where their life will be for four years,” she said. continued on p.08

City law currently prohibits sitting or lying on sidewalks in Waikīkī.

Bill would bring sit-lie law near campus ALEX BITTER EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

A bill approved Nov. 14 by the Honolulu City Council would expand the city’s ban on sitting and lying on sidewalks to areas around the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa. The council approved Bill 48 with a 7-2 vote. It now goes to Mayor Kirk Caldwell for consideration. The bill comes two months after the council and the mayor approved an initial ban on sitting and lying on sidewalks for Waikīkī. That measure and the debate leading up to its passage received national attention, with advocates for the homeless declaring the bill an attempt to criminalize homelessness. If Caldwell approves the extension, it will apply to areas around UH, including most of Kapahulu Avenue south of Waialae Avenue and the area under the H-1 freeway on Kapi'olani Boulevard. Council member Ann Kobayashi, whose district includes the area around the university, said she supported the bill because of complaints she received from constituents about people lying on the sidewalk making it difﬁcult to walk. “Seniors are afraid to walk on the sidewalks, and children are reluctant to go [to the local library],” she said. Council Chairman Ernest Y. Martin said the council’s consideration of the bill represented a “sad day” for the council. Anticipating the bill’s passage, though, he encouraged the mayor to take additional action by approving the expansion of the ban. “What this body has done is far more than what the state has done,” he said. “The mayor must use the tools that have been given to him.”

Campus apartments have yet to be modernized, housing director says MORE INFO

from page 6 STATE AUDIT OF SHS

In 2007, a management audit of campus housing conducted by former State Auditor Marion M. Higa held that the university needed to take several steps to ensure the safety and security of students residing on campus. The survey was conducted as a response to concerns shared by both legislators and members of the UH Mānoa community alike that the student housing was in a serious state of disrepair. “We found that conditions in the dormitories and on campus do not meet the Board of Regents’ standards for housing and are not conducive to student academic achievement or individual growth and development,” the report concluded. Hale Noelani, originally built in 1977, and Hale Wainani, built a year later in 1978, were both found to be inadequate by the State’s review team. In the audit, Noelani was recommended for demolition, and Wainani was cited for numerous repairs that endangered student safety. Prior to 2011, Johnson Hall was found to be unsafe for living conditions due to its lack of a proper sprinkler system in the event of an emergency. Originally constructed in 1952, Frear Hall was expected to last for over 75 years. However, the report credits an insufﬁcient maintenance program with the building’s demise at only 54 years. In 1997, the building was forced to shut down as a housing complex due to “ inoperable sewer and electrical systems” and was razed in 2006. Frear was recommended for demolition because it would be more cost-effective to replace the entire building than to complete all backlogged repairs. Also due to inoperable electrical issues, International Gateway House, built in 1962, was forced to shut down in spring 2004. The audit found that between the unlivable bedrooms in both Gateway and Frear, SHS lost approximately $400,000 in earnings. Rather than expand development, auditors maintained the university’s top housing priority should be thorough improvement of existing facilities. The audit found that the school had failed to properly account for replacement and maintenance costs, resulting in $45 million dollars of overdue projects. “If the maintenance practices that led to these sub-standard conditions are followed in the future, Mānoa’s new Frear Hall … will likely face a similar destiny,” the audit concluded. MAKING PROGRESS

Since the completion of the 2007 State audit, Kaptik explained that SHS has taken on several projects to address many of the issues pointed out by Higa’s team. UH Mānoa enlisted the help of

Out of the nine residence communities SHS oversees, there are only two apartment complexes.

American Campus Communities (ACC) — a major developer, owner and manager of campus living facilities — and reopened the newly renovated Frear Hall in Fall 2008. ACC developed the Frear property; however the school opted to maintain ownership of the campus grounds. Over a two-year span, all of the Hale Aloha freshmen towers were reconstructed. Originally constructed in 1970 and 1971, the towers were almost 40 years when they were renovated. During the ﬁrst phase of 2008, Hale Aloha Ilima and Hale Aloha Mokihana were shut down and reopened in Fall 2009. During the second phase of 2009, Hale Aloha Lokelani and Hale Aloha Lehua were closed and completed in fall 2010. In fall 2010, Johnson Hall was closed down for repairs. First built in 1958, it was one of the ﬁrst residence halls built for UH Mānoa. In fall 2011, the renovated Johnson Hall was open to the public. International Gateway House, initially constructed in 1962, has been the most recent of SHS’s completed renovation projects. Shut down in

Fall 2011 for construction, Gateway was completed in Fall 2012. “Through these projects, 60 percent of UH Mānoa’s on-campus housing has been signiﬁcantly improved,” Kaptik said. He believes when the review of housing complexes is complete, the evaluation will provide “a good framework to determine how to move forward” with complexes still in need of repairs. POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS FOR BETTER MANAGEMENT

In the development of the Frear project, ACC was able to complete construction on a $71 million dollar budget – a feat that even the State had initially deemed implausible in their audit. ACC is part of a growing market dedicated to providing services for improvement of collegiate housing communities such as construction, development, ﬁnancing and management. It also specializes in the privatization of student housing – essentially the acquisition of university property and its management thereafter.

The privatization of student housing by public universities has become a popular trend in recent years. According to the ACC’s website, “advantages typically include more efficient delivery timeline, lower total developmental cost, … professional expertise, [and] management and operating efficiencies.” ACC has privatized numerous residential developments for schools nationwide such as the University of Michigan, Oregon State, Texas A&M, USC, Arizona State, the University of Colorado and Princeton. “Privatization of some or all of the UH Mānoa housing services was considered at the time the campus was finalizing the plans to build Frear Hall,” Hernandez said. He explained the school ultimately opted to continue oversight of their own facilities in order to maintain lower rent costs that would only be possible by “operating student housing within the university’s not-for-profit structure.” Kaptik said that he was unaware of any plans the university has to consider privatization at this time.

Going gluten Is a gluten-free diet just a fad?

GABRIEL ESTEVEZ / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

The food and beverage industry catering to those interested in gluten-free foods has increased by 44 percent from 2011-2013, as a result of the popularity of going gluten-free. AIKO MURAKAMI CONTRIBUTING WRITER

American society has been obsessed with dieting ideas and crazes. The recent gluten-free craze claims to rid a person of everything from fatigue to fat. However, advertisements touting the gluten-free labels fail to mention the truth behind the trend. To the average person, going gluten-free is not meant to be. GLUTEN CONFUSION

Gluten is a protein found in grasses and grains like wheat, rye and barley. It is a protein that is difﬁcult to digest. Sometimes it won’t digest even in a functioning digestive system. Those who can’t digest the protein are diagnosed with celiac disease, a non-celiac gluten sensitivity or gluten intolerance. According to an article in the Harvard Health Letter, those with non-celiac gluten sensitivity or celiac disease experience symptoms such as diarrhea, fatigue and constipation. For few, a gluten-free diet is a necessity. But in society, many lack an understanding of the gluten issue.

“I don’t know much about the gluten-free diet, but I think that people that choose to live gluten-free typically have a health issue that forces them to live gluten-free,” said Jonathan Teraoka, a business major at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. The common misconceptions surrounding the subject hide the facts about gluten. Our society has a way of taking something appli-

A Pennsylvania State study found that parents reported that a gluten-free diet seemed to improve symptoms of autism in their children, including “hyperactivity, temper tantrums, problems with eye contact and speech skills, and physical ailments such as skin rashes and seizures for certain groups of children.” However, when University of Rochester researchers conducted

ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL FOUNDATION OF CELIAC AWARENESS, 83 PERCENT OF AMERICANS WHO HAVE CELIAC DISEASE ARE UNDIAGNOSED OR MISDIAGNOSED WITH OTHER CONDITIONS.

cable to a small percent of the population and advertising it as a trend. THE TRUTH ABOUT GLUTEN

Looking at the advertised beneﬁts of a gluten-free diet, one can ﬁnd claims of the diet’s ability to drastically improve fatigue, bowel issues, autism and weight. It would be wrong to deny these claims, but it is also wrong to say these things are true.

a four-month, double-blind, placebo-controlled study on 14 preschoolers with autism, they “found that a strict gluten-free, caseinfree (GFCF) diet had no discernable effects on autistic behavior patterns, attention, sleep and other symptoms.” The effect of this diet on autistic patients is questionable. Conﬂicting research evidence shows that further research is needed to make a deﬁnitive conclusion on the effects

of this diet on autistic individuals. Furthermore, according to the National Foundation of Celiac Awareness, “83 percent of Americans who have celiac disease are undiagnosed or misdiagnosed with other conditions.” This statistic suggests that even those who are allergic to gluten might not even be aware that they are. Those who claim that a gluten-free diet improves their quality of life may be part of the small percent of Americans who actually need this gluten-free diet, and the rest may just be joining the bandwagon. COSTS OF THE GLUTEN-FREE LIFESTYLE

Deciding to go gluten-free is a difﬁcult choice because it cannot be cut out of a diet. Gluten is found in bread, pastas, cereals and soups. Many gluten-containing products contain other essential vitamins and minerals. Substitute products often lack these essential vitamins and replace gluten with starchy and sugary substitutes. Going gluten-free would require research to know which gluten-free foods have suitable nutritional value and a strong willpower to stay

on the diet. The diet can be costly since many gluten-free products can also be double or triple the price of their regular counterparts. It can drain you mentally, physically and economically. IF IT ISN’T BROKEN, DON’T FIX IT

For those with digestive systems that are unable to process gluten, this diet is part of life. For autistic people who might benefit from the diet, the research findings are conflicting. Without a medical reason for the gluten-free diet, “there’s probably no benefit,” Massachusetts-based dietitian Tricia Thompson said. This means that for the average American, the time, effort, money and risks that come with trying to be gluten-free outweigh the unproven benefits of the diet. If you can eat gluten, take advantage and eat your heart out. Food is one of the best things in life; cutting it out when it isn’t necessary is a waste of time.

Creating safety for women online and on campus LISA GRANDINETTI ASSOCIATE OPINIONS EDITOR

If you’re a woman in cyberspace or in any space that addresses feminist topics on the Internet, you could have predicted the inﬂuence of rape culture on the comments left on “The alleged freshman rapist,” published online on Wednesday, Oct. 29 on Ka Leo’s website. What this article attempted to bring to light is that UH’s policies for handling sexual assault are inadaquate. As a school and as a community, we must create more space to discuss preventing sexual assault.

arguing for feminism, men taking revenge on their ex-girlfriends by posting their private sex tapes without the woman’s consent, and the proliferation of rapists threatening to upload videos of their attack as blackmail to keep victims quiet. The Internet allows us to dehumanize those on the other side of the keyboard. Women and others who are marginalized often suffer most as they are already targets of dehumanization in the real world. Although free speech must be protected, the freedom of hate mongers must be curbed. In the era of experimenting more than ever before with the parameters of free speech, we must also

UH currently puts the responsibility of preventing rape on potential victims, with Public Safety escorts, emergency call boxes and self-defense classes. UH also puts much of the responsibility of bringing perpetrators of sexual assault to justice on the shoulders of the victim. Services for victims are provided by the Women’s Center; however, there are currently no education or prevention programs. One step that UH could take is to require all students upon entering the university to participate in an interactive orientation about consent, respect, rape culture and preventing sexual assault.

INTERNET TROLLS TARGET WOMEN

Poet Patricia Lockwood faced harsh backlash in reviews of her book “Motherland Fatherland Homelandsexuals.” Men were critical of her writing. However, in a critique of Lockwood’s book, Mallory Ortberg explained how Lockwood was being attacked because of her poems’ subjects. Women’s writing is suppressed in order to silence women-speciﬁc issues like rape. While many comments dealt with the article’s ambiguity about the facts of the Tyler Strong case, others dissmissed the general subject of preventing rape on college campuses. Women don’t have the space to express their unsafe feelings on campus, and these comments serve as proof. An opinion that goes against or challenges hegemonic discourse is likely to be attacked. Anita Sarkeesian is a prime example of this weeding out of feminist thought. In response to her speaking out against the pervasive themes of violence against women in video games, Sarkeesian was bombarded with death, rape and terrorist threats. Most recently, she was forced to cancel a talk at Utah State University because a particularly angry troll threatened a mass school shooting targeted at her and women attendees. Other examples of women being targeted by Internet trolls include threats to release nudes of Emma Watson after her speech at the UN

We must acknowledge the value of moderated forums as safe spaces for people to express unpopular sentiments. acknowledge the value of moderated forums as safe spaces are necessary for marginalized peoples to express unpopular sentiments without being bombarded by trolls. OUR UNIVERSITY CAN DO BETTER

Creating safe spaces for women and other oppressed groups is important outside of cyberspace, too. UH Mānoa fails to prioritize the effort to make campus safer. Not only does UH mishandle cases of sexual assault, the university’s actions on the topic are solely reactionary. Our administrators and those responsible of the safety of students are far behind in the national effort to research the issue and educate the campus in order to prevent sexual assault. For example, Vermont’s Middlebury College is combating the issue by publishing reports that examine the factors that keep victims from reporting suspected cases of rape. Instead of remaining reactionary, UH could follow in Middlebury’s footsteps and uncover the nuances of sexual assault on campus. After all, you cannot take steps to solve the problem without understanding it.

Providing these programs would involve fully funding ofﬁces on campus such as the Women’s Center. Surely, sex assault prevention programs are a better use of money than a losing football team. If you are not yet convinced of the need for such emphasis of rape-prevention efforts, look no further than one of the comments posted on the Facebook page: “Yawn. He can do (what) he wants to do. Everyone knows (expletive) in college do wild (expletive) and get embarrassed about it and don’t want own up to it so they call rape. Pffft gtfo here with that noise.” This comment was later edited to change one of the expletives into “girls that are promiscuous.” Ignoring the issue, pretending sexual assault does not exist, questioning survivors of rape or failing to acknowledge its pervasiveness is not going to solve the problem. We must educate ourselves to push back on rape culture. We must organize as students, faculty and a community to demand the administration to put more meaningful efforts into preventing rape on campus. We can do better. Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

Readers respond: ‘The alleged freshman rapist’

COMPILED BY ALEX BITTER EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Ka Leo has received numerous comments from readers regarding an opinion article published in Oct. 27 issue. Below are a few of those comments, selected for publication by Ka Leo’s editors and edited for grammar and style. We have issued a correction for the article, noting that it failed to fully acknowledge that Tyler Strong’s guilt or innocence has not been established by a court of law. He has been charged with ﬁrst-degree sexual assault and will face a jury trial in November.

This story, whether timely or not, speaks to a larger issue. If sexual assaults are not appropriately handled and things continue as is, then what are rapists and victims supposed to think about themselves? Anonymous via kaleo.org

Innocent until proven guilty, sure. But rape is a big deal. It's an even bigger deal if someone is trying to reach out and ask for help to get justice for the wrong that was done to them. I'm glad an article such as this is written. It clearly is a topic that needs more discussion around it. The guy should not be allowed to go to classes, much less live on campus where his victim could possibly run into him or where he could possibly select another target. As a female, I would not feel safe if any person, regardless of gender or sexual orientation, was accused of rape. That puts others and myself in danger. Too often there are stories about men in universities raping women and yet still go to class like normal and can still participate on the football team and other school activities. It disgusts me. How can these rapists still represent their institution? It sends a deeper message that this behavior is okay — that it's okay to rape. And it disempowers the victim.

I ﬁnd the lack of responsibility on the part of the University for allowing this kind of negativity and persecution of a young man to be deplorable. The attitude across the United States has put the negative focus on young men only. Nowhere does this article mention the rights of this young man or the fact that he may not be guilty at all. As a female who attends this University, I can attest to the many, many young women who are regularly looking to ﬁnd a guy that they can hook up with. Not to mention the amount of partying and alcohol that is regularly allowed in our dorms, only to have those responsible for monitoring this look the other way. Really? This is all his fault? What about the young woman? What do you know about her? Did she set him up? Is she another girl going after a guy, and then changing her mind later on? Did she get mad at him? I can speak to this because I see it. For you to automatically make the statement that you did about his guilt and safety of other women? Did you ever think he is possibly a victim? You are a perfect example of why it is always the guy’s fault, even when it isn't. I do not support assault or rape of anyone, but let's have all the facts. And, what if he is proven innocent?

LUCY’S LAB CREAMERY

New Orleans pianist John Cleary opens Atherton season

DANIELLA REYES SENIOR STAFF WRITER

Lucy’s Lab Creamery is a tiny shop near Ward Centers in Kaka‘ako, featuring a rotating menu of seven ice cream ﬂavors at a time. The interior is cozy and welcoming with employees happy to give out samples. During my visit, they had ﬂavors Earl Grey, pumpkin spice, Nutella, salted caramel, Fruit Loop vodka, bacon whiskey and honey lavender. If you’re tired of the traditional ice cream-in-a-cone format, try the pan de creme – ice cream and strawberry or guava jam combined in a sweet bread roll ($4.75), a unique spin on an ice cream sandwich. Earl Grey tasted just like its tea form, but far more pleasant on a hot day. Although bacon whiskey and Fruit Loop vodka were unorthodox and delicious, I chose the dependable salted caramel. It was smooth and creamy, with Hawaiian salt added by hand to my scoop. Very satisfying, but a little too sweet with the caramel overpowering the salt. Next time, I’ll go for the bacon whiskey, which had real bits of savory bacon to complement the bite of the whiskey. The shop charges $1 an ounce, with about three ounces per serving recommended by the shop for one person. Go for the pan de creme and enjoy the carb-and-cream overload. Plus, a portion of the shop’s proceeds go to breast cancer research. Indulge and feel good about yourself at the same time. RATING

Atherton jazz concert victim of circumstance

Brad Dell Features Editor

The Atherton Performing Arts Studio 2014-2015 Winter Season opened on Nov. 7 with a jazz performance by New Orleans pianist John Cleary. The show was pleasant, but it fell victim to circumstance. THE ATHERTON

With the Atherton close to Ala Moana Shopping Center, college students can grab dinner and a show. It has an enjoyable atmosphere, and at $15 a ticket for students, the concerts are affordable as well. The Atherton is a small studio covered in wooden tiles and located through a side door of the Hawai‘i Public Radio Plaza. The Atherton houses 75 people, which makes for a more intimate concert experience.

middle-aged and elderly audience, but I didn’t recognize any of the songs. I appreciated the music, but I didn’t feel the same connection to it as the woman I saw mouthing along. The average student may not connect with the music because of the unfamiliarity. However, the Atherton will host classical, folk and Hawaiian concerts throughout the season, so students can pick a night that is playing a genre of music best suited to their taste. THE SINGING

Cleary’s vocals competed with his piano playing. In one of his introductions, he said he was used to playing in loud bars, which was quite evident. Sometimes he forced his voice to be louder and sang off-key, which detracted from the piano’s sound. In the studio, his singing was out of place.

THE ORGANIZATION

OVERALL

Instead of following a concert program, Cleary introduced each song before playing them. He would often start another song immediately after ﬁnishing one, which made the performance feel rushed.

The Atherton is pleasant, in a convenient location and affordable. However, it may not be practical for students who live on campus and can buy $8 tickets from Kennedy Theatre or Orvis Auditorium. The concert seemed marketed to an older audience, and the studio’s quiet atmosphere didn’t suit Cleary’s style. Having viewed only one concert, it was difﬁcult to get an accurate picture of the Atherton, but I do not recommend it for college students.

THE PIANO

The ﬁrst act was a bluesy jazz, and the second act included slow and peppy songs. Cleary played well, but blandly, using the same ﬂourishes in each piece. Cleary performed New Orleans jazz that seemed familiar to the

into designing and creating the horrors. There were also several points in which shadow puppetry was used, which I thought was yet another efﬁcient way to deal with the size issue. Most of the humor in the show was clearly directed towards an elementary school audience. Many laughing points focused around silly words, farts, and clownish movements. In the scene where Sophie and the BFG are watching dreams together, it is clear that they are observing the ideals of sleepyheads under ten years old. However, I personally wouldn’t mind if my math professor started to dance instead of teaching class, so that particular tidbit would likely resonate with a college audience. FOR THE ADULTS

the play was appealing to its age range.

Kennedy Theatre’s second main stage production of the season, “The BFG,” was, without question, written for children. While I enjoyed the show, I found myself questioning whether it was the best type of piece to perform on a college campus, where target audience members might find the humor a tad immature. However, based on the giggles of the many children surrounding me in the audience, it was apparent that

The vast majority of the show involves the use of puppetry (especially for the girl, Sophie), and elaborate masks (for the evil giants). Using puppet humans to emphasize the size of the giants was effective, and oftentimes charming. The evil giants’ costumes were quite terrifying, and I wish they had received a bit more stage time, as it was clear that someone put a great deal of time and effort

Kennedy’s ‘The BFG’ is a show for kids

MONDAY, NOV. 17, 2014

The point in the show in which I felt truly out of place was when Sophie and the BFG started to dance to a song of fart (“whizzpopping”) noises. Every child in the audience burst into laughter, and I had to keep from cringing. Yes, it was a children’s play, but a fart song was a bit too immature for me to handle. Another huge hit with the kids was when the Queen of England called the Queen of Spain, who was dressed as a ﬂamenco dancer and had an over-the-top accent. I believe that children’s plays should be sprinkled with jokes that appeal to adults, to keep older audience members from rolling their eyes too often, and I feel that “The BFG” did not have enough adults jokes in it to satisfy me. However, the few that were in there, such as a well-timed “Psycho” reference, were excellent. At 60 minutes, the performance was shorter than I expected it to be. When the play ﬁnished I couldn’t help wondering if that was it. Every scene happened quickly, and I felt

as if something was missing. Although the book of “The BFG” is not particularly long, I felt that the play breezed through scenes much quicker than necessary. Despite my qualms, there were many parts of the show that I enjoyed. One of the main pluses was that it was a healthy dose of nostalgia. I haven’t read Roald Dahl’s book since elementary school, so when the word “snozzcumber” popped up, I felt a rush of happy childhood memories. I also thought that Joe Abraham, who played the BFG, did an excellent job delivering all of Dahl’s silly words and the giant’s signature speech pattern. However, I am not sure if people who never read the book will be as entertained by these scenes. I also thought the relationship between the BFG and Sophie was warm, and I was particularly fond of their moments together while hunting for dreams. Furthermore, although most of the humor was primarily targeted towards kids, a few jokes weren’t entirely too immature for older audience members. I, too, found myself giggling at foolish words and the absurdly posh palace residents. FOR EVERYONE?

I enjoyed watching “The BFG,” but it was too childish for me to truly appreciate. I am not sure if it is the perfect production for college students, especially those unfamiliar with Dahl. Still, it was funny, and there were moments for all ages scattered throughout. So, if you feel like bathing in nostalgia, taking your child or younger sibling to a play or giggling at some youthful humor – go see this show. Otherwise, you won’t be missing too much by skipping this production.

TREND SCOOP

Sunrise shells The ssunrise you’ll want to sea all day long ng AMBER KHAN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Editor’s note: Trend Scoop is a new series that investigates various trends through research and interviews. The recent burst in the popularity of sunrise shells has taken the fashion world by surprise. Everyone wears them, everyone has them and everyone is “urchin” to get their hands on them. “They’re colorful shells that you normally ﬁnd on the beach if you are lucky,” recreational deep sea diver Brent Ching said. “They’re

easily identiﬁed because of the contrast between the sand and the shell. The shells look like a sunrise.” The shells, which are often made into stylish jewelry, can be found in almost any local boutique, with prices ranging from $20 to $2,900. The price is determined by color, size and the quality of the shell, and the value has only gone up over the years, Ching said. Rare colors like blue, green and albino shells that are made into trendy jewelry tend to be priced higher. Common colors like yellow, orange and red tend to be cheaper. Nevertheless, all sunrise shells are

desired among the fashionably literate, regardless of color. In recent years, the shells have gained popularity as fashion accessories. People wear them as elegant jewelry, statement pieces or something to spice up a boring outﬁt. They contain natural beauty with a unique, aesthetically pleasing twist. The shells go well with the boho look, the beachgoer look, or with simple jeans and a cute top. “I like to wear them because they can either dress up or dress down my outﬁt by adding a little bit of color with a nice contrast to my tan,” said Natalie Nation, a food science

and human nutrition student. “I don’t know why they’re so popular, but everyone seems to love and wear them,” Sand People sales associate Theresa Brittain said, “But they really are crazy popular. We even had one sell for $490. They always sell, no matter how high the prices are.” The shells are more than just trendy accessories, though. Sunrise shells, also known as Decatopecten noduliferum or Langford’s pectpecten, are small scallops of class Bivalvia. They are native to Hawai’i‘s waters and were once considered to be sacred to the ancient Hawaiian

people. Hawaiian legends indicate that royal families ordered those who found the shells not to wear them – only the ali‘i (royalty) were allowed to. Today, the hunt is on for everyone. Divers, drifters and even entire families comb the beaches for these trending shells on a daily basis. The shells that are the most intact are made into bling. Shore, they’re hard to find, but you just have to look in Pacific areas and you shell find them.

Yik Yak is becoming an essential social media app to have for college students. The app was created by college students to be used by college students. Yik Yak allows students to post 200-character, anonymous “yaks” about topics of their choice, while also showing messages from other students within a two-mile radius from the user’s location. Students who have the app can also “upvote” or “downvote” posts, much like on Reddit. Yik Yak allows students to post anonymous messages that they might otherwise not post if they were posting on social media with their names attached. As a Yik Yak user, one is not judged by whom they are, but by the content they provide. If you’re looking for events around campus or off campus, Yik Yak is a great source to have. Some messages might share where a dorm party might be, or offer ticket sales to events happening in the Honolulu night scene. Some concern has been expressed about the app due to its anonymity. I appreciate the steps that Yik Yak has taken to address these concerns in its Terms of Use, reserving the right to remove inappropriate posts or report them to the police. Hopefully, this will keep the app free of major scandals. Yik Yak is a great way for students to express themselves and their thoughts on what is going on around them without the fear of being judged. RATING

Shaloha’s slogan is, “Middle Eastern cuisine with a Hawaiian twist. DANIELLA REYES SENIOR STAFF WRITER

Shaloha’s name combines “shalom,” a traditional Hebrew greeting, with aloha, and the restaurant’s cuisine echoes the sentiment perfectly. It is Middle Eastern street food with a Hawaiian twist, featuring local produce and fresh-baked breads. ATMOSPHERE

Located on Wai‘alae and Third Avenue, Shaloha is a hole-in-thewall takeout place near Subway and across from St. Louis Drive-In. The restaurant is simple and unassuming, with one large table and a wraparound counter that makes the place cozy if you’re eating in. The menu is written on a large chalkboard, and if you’re unfamiliar with dishes like schnitzel or shakshuka, there are helpful explanations included. TASTE

The menu is limited, but it does have a variety of vegan, vegetarian and meat options. Dishes ordered include the shawarma ($9.57), schnitzel ($9.57), pita chips ($5.74) and for drinks, the lemonana ($2.87). UH students get a free side with their order when they show their ID, so I got the tabouleh ($5.74). The shawarma is chicken grilled in “special seasoning,” served in a

pocket of pita bread with vegetables. It’s similar to a Greek gyro. The chicken was slightly overcooked and dry, but the spices and fresh vegetables made it overall tasty and surprisingly ﬁlling. The schnitzel was slightly more enjoyable because of the spicy sauce that came with it; however, both dishes

The sandwiches came in fluffy, soft pita bread that was some of the best I’ve ever had. were packed with so much flavor and sauce that it could be overwhelming at times. The sandwiches came in fluffy, soft pita bread that was some of the best I’ve ever had. Tabouleh, which I’d never tried before, turned out to be a vegetarian dish made with tomatoes, parsley, onion, lemon and more. Although very fresh, it was on the sour side and not very enjoyable. The lemonana (mint-infused lemonade) was deliciously refreshing and tasted like it had just been made. The mint was not overpowering and added a cool aftertaste. The favorite of the night was

deﬁnitely the pita chips. I enjoyed the pita bread in the sandwiches, but the chips took it to another level. Crunchy on the outside and pillow-soft on the inside, they were sprinkled with zaatar, a tasty Middle Eastern spice composed of dried herbs and salt. The chips were paired with hummus for an addicting treat. If the shawarma hadn’t been so ﬁlling, I wouldn’t have been able to stop eating them.

bles. They made a perfect complement to the pita chips, the highlight of the meal. I’d visit Shaloha just for the pita chips.

SERVICE

The server at the counter patiently explained each dish to us and offered some recommendations. When we belatedly remembered the UH discount, she cheerfully added it on at the end of our order. If you stand at the counter, you can watch your pita sandwiches get ﬁlled with plenty of vegetables. The food was prepared within 15 minutes, although it might take longer during the lunch or dinner rush. Occasionally, a server checked on us to see if we were enjoying our meal. Other than that, there wasn’t much service to speak of: Shaloha is a no-frills-takeout place where the main priority is to get you your food quickly. VERDICT

CAMPUS CRUISING TIPS, TRICKS AND TURF

IKAIKA SHIVELEY ASSOCIATE FEATURES EDITOR

Every semester, there seems to be a progressive rise in skaters. But is it just a fad? One reason people skate is to save time when commuting to class. Since parking isn’t the easiest thing to come by in Hawai‘i, especially on the Mānoa campus, skating is an option for getting to class. For some, the main reason they skate is simply the joy they get while riding their trusty board. Whether it’s a skate deck or a long board, there’s no other feeling like the sense of exhilaration, adrenaline and freedom when gliding through the cement jungle. Since the Z-boys (Lords of Dogtown) rushed

Similar to driving a car around pedestrians, a skater has the responsibility to be as safe as possible in a crowded area. Being aware of your surroundings is crucial when skating through campus. It’s imperative to have full conﬁdence when it comes to controlling your board. If you are new to skating, it’s advised to practice in an open space so you can learn how to control your board. Collisions on campus between pedestrians and skaters aren’t the rarest of occurrences. It’s grown a habit to instinctively blame the skater. However, depending on the situation, both individuals could be at fault. Normally, when people see an oncoming skateboard, their initial reaction is to move out of the way. This is a sure way to cause a collision. Moving left or right can

throw off a skater who is trying to predict your current pathway. Most skaters know their board and abilities like the back of their hand. If they can safely maneuver through a situation with ease, they will. The best thing a pedestrian can do is to continue their path as if the skater wasn’t there. If you are skating through rushhour trafﬁc between classes, you must choose when it’s appropriate to skate. You never want to be the person who everyone looks in disgust at as someone who might cause an accident.

“I feel that the stereotype applies to a small population of skaters,” said senior Lika Fujihara, who regularly skates. “It is unfair to apply this stereotype to anyone that skateboards.” Fujihara said that this stereotyping doesn’t keep skaters off of their decks. “There are pros and cons to any hobby, but you’ll stick with it if you like it enough,” Fujihara said.

calls for your right foot in front.

Frear Hall path The hilled walkway that goes from Frear Hall to Hale Aloha is another popular spot for those who live on campus. The downward slope creates enough momentum to practice carving and reverts, without the danger of gaining overwhelming speed. Just remember to watch out for other students commuting to and from class.

The Market Skaters can always be found practicing their ﬂip tricks off of the green ledge on the side of the Market. While the road is somewhat rough, the speed bump acts as a miniature pyramid that is great for a little extra air time.

LEARNING TRICKS

Like everything else, practice is key to mastering skating. If you choose to have a regular skate deck, a large amount of time must be dedicated to the hobby in order to learn tricks. The best way to learn tricks is to hang out with skaters, as a majority of them are more than willing to give their tips. Another option is to watch YouTube tutorials, which go in depth with the aid of slow motion. One of the beauties of skating is there are no rules, so creativity is welcomed. Just remember, skating can be dangerous.

SUDDEN DOWNPOUR While heavy rainfall offers the island lush green forests, it’s a skater’s worst nightmare. Here are two reasons why you should not skate when rain is present: First, rain causes the ground to become incredibly slippery. The board’s grip may become nonexistent, which causes hydroplaning. If the fear of crashing doesn’t convince you, the fact that the rain can destroy your board may. Second, water is a skateboard’s worst enemy as it can lead to rusted bearings and trucks.

FABULOUS IN Veronica Freeman Senior Staff Writer

You’ve just gotten off of work and your friends have called; they’re headed to a last minute party and are on their way to pick you up...Right now. When you’re running late it’s hard to even think about getting dressed, or worry about your hair. Don’t let time get the best of you. Here are some easy tricks to make you look like you put in more effort than you actually did.

A bit of gel goes a long way If you don’t have a buzz cut or a hairstyle that naturally ﬁxes itself, having a bit of gel on hand is ideal. Use only a pea-sized drop of gel or less. You want to be sure to evenly distribute the product. A few strokes through your hair with your hands or a brush is perfect. If you feel you need more gel, use sparingly. Girls love the look of soft hair, not hardened spikes.

FIRST DATE TIPS Evangeline Cook Aloha Nights Editor

DO’S

Do the Blair Waldorf A headband is one of the most classic moves in the book but it’s still perfect for when you’re running late. Grab a hairbrush and get rid of all the tangles, or if your hair is curly, just leave as is. Get out your most fabulous headband and pull it straight back or style accordingly. The Gossip Girl character, Blair Waldorf, was known for perfecting a good headband by placing it on top of her hair instead of using it to push back her hair as is typically done. In this case, being a copycat isn’t always a bad idea. isn

Open the car door. Hey, gentlemen. When you’re picking up the princess, be sure to open the carriage door for her on your way to your elegant date. Ladies love it. It shows that you’re a true gentlemen and actually care enough to do such a selﬂess gesture. It’s the ﬁrst impression– make it a good one.

Be yourself, seriously. This is probably one of the most valuable ﬁrst date tips. Be yourself. Don’t pretend to be somebody that you aren’t and don’t make things up about yourself just to seem cooler. If you plan to have any further dates with this person, the unfolding truth would cause major trust issues and would be a horrible way to start something out that could have been wonderful. Keep it real.

Let him pay. Don’t be silly and ask at the end of the meal if you should pay. If the guy had the guts to ask you out on a date, he should have the money to pay for your meal. That’s what a date’s all about. Keep it simple. Instead of awkwardly shrugging, say thank you and smile.

Low pony, high pony, any kind Lo of ponytail It It’s obvious that a ponytail is a quick fix, but adding an accessory q takes it from basic to stylish in one easy step. Hair cuffs can be found at most hair or superstores. Look for one in a simple metallic finish; either silver or gold works best. When you’re running late, just slip it on over the top of your hair tie and it’ll perk up any standard look. Bedhead Girls on street style blogs spend hours trying to get this look. If your hair has been up all day you might as well rock it. Add a drop of texturizing cream (found at most drug stores) to the palm of your hand, rub around for a moment as if you were applying lotion, then run it through your hair. Rubbing the product on your hands first ensures the product is evenly distributed. Stay focused on your ends and be careful not to get too much on your roots. Flip your head a couple of times and you’re good to go.

DONT’S

Don’t go to a movie. First dates are all about getting to know each other. It’s all about figuring out if you actually want to go on a second date with this person. You definitely should not go to a movie for a first date. Why? You don’t get a chance to talk to each other at all, besides in line for the popcorn. It leaves things awkward and unsure. Instead, go to dinner, a concert or even a picnic – just not a movie.

Don’t talk about your ex. Unless your date asks, do not bring up your ex, this is unﬂattering. It causes your date to think that you still have some sort of connection to your ex, which is an uncomfortable topic for a ﬁrst date. First dates should be fun. If the situation should get serious down the road, then bring up the sticky stuff.

Don’t have sex. It’s the ﬁrst date after all. If the mood is right and the stars are shining perfectly into her pink lip-gloss, then by all means kiss her. But, if you are in any way thinking of taking this seriously and building a relationship, sex on a ﬁrst date is a big mistake. This is a clear indicator that you want a completely different kind of relationship. Don’t make it easy. Stay classy. Go on another date.

Physically, people like Blake Muir shouldn’t exist. He is a physical anomaly. At 6’5” and 300 pounds, he helps anchor the line of Baylor University’s high tempo offense. Despite his heft, Muir moves with rare agility that creates matchup problems for opposing defensive players. Muir’s blocking and protection alongside the rest of Baylor’s offensive line has been a consistent presence for the top offense in the country. That Muir arrived to start for one of the best programs on the NCAA is an accident. Initially playing for the University of Hawai‘i, Muir’s journey to the top of the college football world followed an unlikely path.

his eventual landing spot. Muir’s chances of landing an offer from good schools were slim until a coach from another interested school suggested he switch to the other side of the ball. “I had a bit of interest here and there,” Muir said. “Then one coach said that I might make a better offensive lineman. I hadn’t really thought about it too much, but then after a little while, and playing offensive line a little bit back home, I kind of realized that might be the place for me. I actually got the choice of playing defensive line for SMU or offensive line for Hawai‘i. I chose offensive line just because I

HAWAI‘I DAYS

The end of the 2011 season signaled the end of Muir’s time on the islands. Former head coach Greg McMackin’s ﬁring initiated a thorough coaching purge by incoming head coach Norm Chow. Gordy Shaw was among those who lost their jobs. Muir now faced the prospect of playing without the coaches he had initially committed to. Though Muir would start all 12 games of the 2012 season at left tackle, he became disenchanted

“It wasn’t the same Hawai‘ i I chose to go to originally.” – BLAKE MUIR

COMING TO AMERICA

Muir was not always highly regarded. As an Australian prospect, interest from schools in the U.S. was lukewarm, despite the physical tools Muir possessed. “There’s only eight teams, and it’s all club based too, so it’s got nothing to do with school or anything,” Muir said. “It’s very small, almost like a cult following.” The American football scene in his hometown of Sydney was small, leaving him off of most recruiter’s radars. “The recruiting process for Australians are very difﬁcult, and not having many connections makes things unlike the process for any high school player,” said Muir’s former strength coach, Peter Upham. Originally a defensive line prospect, Muir didn’t draw any interest from the University of Hawai‘ i,

FORMER UH OFFENSIVE LINEMAN

felt that in the end I could probably make a better offensive lineman in the long run.” Muir ended up choosing Hawai‘ i for the opportunity to improve as an offensive lineman with former line coach Gordy Shaw. Shaw had history of coaching impressive lines at the University of Minnesota before arriving at UH. Muir embraced the opportunity to further his career. Though no scholarship was available until the 2011 fall semester, Muir decided to leave for Mānoa a full semester early to demonstrate his commitment to the coaches. He worked full time in a Sydney liquor store to help foot the $20,000 out-of-state tuition. Though he would redshirt his

with the new regime. At the end of the season, Muir surprised coaches and fans alike by asking for a release from the program. “I just wasn’t happy,” Muir said. “I played the whole season and I didn’t feel I was getting the satisfaction out of playing as I should have. I just felt like if I was going to continue playing that I needed to make a change, and it had to be at that point. “When the coaching staff changed, a whole lot of things changed at that time. It wasn’t the same Hawai‘ i I chose to go to originally. It just made things different. Nothing against how it is now or when I decided to leave, it was just different to how I originally thought it was going to be in

Hawai‘i,” Muir continued. “Because I saw Coach Shaw as a man of integrity, I felt like he had my best interests at heart and he would allow me to reach my potential as a football player. That’s what drew me to him and Hawai‘ i in the ﬁrst place.” Though Muir was unhappy with his situation, he still felt it was a good experience. Despite claims by Chow that Muir left because he had no friends on the team, Muir enjoyed his time at UH. “I enjoyed my time there. I made a lot of friends,” Muir said. “It was a very positive experience for me.” BAYLOR

Despite Hawai‘ i’s disappointing offensive output, Muir’s talent drew interest from numerous schools as soon as he became available. One of them, Baylor jumped to the top of the list immediately. “I had quite a few choices. It was a lot easier to get recruited after I had played a little bit,” Muir said. “I had a strong connection with the offensive line coach, Chris Clemmens, and the rest of the coaching staff felt that they were coaches you could really play for.” Baylor also had a major advantage in the battle for Muir’s services after they extended an offer to his brother, Sean. Muir and his brother both chose to play for the Baylor Bears. “I like it,” Muir said of Baylor. “It’s a little more personal than I’m used to. The classes are smaller. The campus is very nice.” On the ﬁeld, things are different too. At Hawai‘ i, he played on an offense that struggled to break 3,500 total yards on the season en route to a 3-9 record. With Baylor,

Muir stepped into a starting role at left guard for one of the most feared offenses in the NCAA. Sporting a Top 25 rushing attack, Baylor has already produced 5000 yards of total offense in just nine games while leading the entire nation in scoring with 50.1 points per game. This success has allowed Baylor to ascend to a top 10 ranking in the College Football Playoff poll, giving the team a chance to make its first Football Bowl Subdivision playoffs in history. “A lot of it has to do with our athleticism,” Muir said. “We’re fairly big for an offensive line, but we’re able to move around the field quickly. That tends to put the defense on their back foot and you can tell during games that when we start moving the ball, we just get on a better roll. It goes back to the tempo we run. Once we can get moving, the defense starts to get tired.” Muir is unlocking his potential as an offensive lineman. Muir hopes his continued success can lead to bigger things, namely, an NFL career. With his size, strength and quickness, as well as his strong performances against Big 12 competition, Muir could become the first former Hawai‘i offensive lineman to get drafted since Samson Satele was picked in the second round of the 2007 draft. It may hurt Hawai‘i fans to think about lost talent such as Muir, but the former Warrior’s accomplishments are a bright spot in a lost season, even if he now wears the green jersey of a different university.

WITH INSIGHT FROM COACH MICHELE NAGAMINE

MOST VALUABLE PLAYER

STORM KENUI

MOST VALUABLE PLAYER

KRYSTAL PASCUA Pascua started in 16 games this past season in midﬁeld as a forward. She tied third on the team with four goals scored and tied third on the team with two assists. Pascua led the Rainbow Wahine on and off the ﬁeld. When Tiana Fujimoto was unable to participate this year due to injury, Pascua was left to assume the responsibility to put the team on her shoulders. Coach Nagamine: “Krystal had a couple of game winners this year too and really led us as a team. She was kind of the mother hen of the group. But what Krystal represented for us, her leadership, her dedication, everyone would just look to her to guide them. They were both really outstanding for us this year.”

Kenui started in every game this past season in midﬁeld and defense. She led her team in scoring with six goals and tied second on the team with two assists. She became the focal point of the Rainbow Wahine offense even though there were two games where she had to play as a central defender. Coach Nagamine: “Storm led the team in scoring and she led the team in just about every stat and she scored some pretty big goals for us too. Her value I really can’t put a price tag on, but I think statistically yes, Storm is in that category.”

KRYSTAL PASCUA

STORM KENUI

MOST IMPROVED PLAYER

ASHLEY HARUKI Haruki started every game in midfield this past season where she scored one goal and registered two assists. She finished her soccer career with her best season to date. Coach Nagamine: “As far as impact wise, I think I’d have to go with Ashley Haruki. Last year, she was in and out of our starting lineup and played multiple positions, but this year she owned that center midfield position. So when I look at the improvement from last year to this year, the senior class kinda pops out on me.”

ASHLEY HARUKI

FRESHMAN OF THE YEAR

PAIGE OKAZAKI Okazaki started in every game this past season in central defense as a freshman. She had a rough start to her season but stepped up when her team needed her in the Big West Conference play at the end of the season. Coach Nagamine: “When it came to consistency and minutes played, I think that Paige is in that category. She played almost every minute of every game and steadily improved throughout the season. The defense often gets overlooked because they don’t have the same kind of stats as the offense does. There was a couple times where she cost us in games, but there was also a couple times where she saved us at the end of the year. I think her making mistakes early on was all a part of the learning process of being a freshman and getting thrown into the ﬁre, so to speak.”

PAIGE OKAZAKI

LIDIA BATTAGLIA

DEFENSE PLAYER OF THE YEAR

LIDIA BATTAGLIA Battaglia played in 16 games at central defense this past season, missing two games due to suspension. She played her junior season for the Rainbow Wahine as the only returning defender from last season and became the leader of the team’s young defensive line. Coach Nagamine: “Lidia has been the anchor of that defense all season. I think that Lidia improved steadily throughout the season and we had two really good games to end the season, having shutouts in both games, and I think that her understanding of how she could make the people around her better was something that she really wanted to embrace at the end of the season. She was by far our most experienced defender, having two years of starting under her belt, and I really do think that she embraced that role of being a leader and I think that she did a great job.”

The two blocked field goals were the first for UH since 2011.

Better to be lucky than good How the Warriors got away with a victory against San Jose State DAVID MCCRACKEN ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

The University of Hawai‘i Rainbow Warrior defense shut out the Spartans 13-0 Saturday, but UH’s offense continued to struggle; accumulating only 240 yards of total offense which marked the team’s lowest offensive output since Sept. 7, 2013 against Oregon State. To put that in perspective, the San Jose State University (SJSU) Spartans totaled 462 yards of total offense against UH in a game where they scored zero points. TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES

Warrior quarterback Ikaika Woolsey threw for 150 yards on 9 of 16 passing with zero touchdowns and one interception against the Spartans for his third lowest passing yardage performance of the season. Woolsey totaled 15 yards passing in the second half while attempting just three passes in the ﬁnal two quarters of play with zero attempts in the entire third quarter. Hawai‘i’s rushing attack didn’t provide much more ﬁrepower than the passing offense did, accumulating 90 yards as a team on 40 rushing attempts for a 2.8 yards per carry average. The team’s 2.8 yards per carry average was the lowest average per attempt the Warriors have registered all season and the lowest since Nov. 12, 2013 when UH posted a 2.4 rushing average in a 47-10 loss to Utah State. The Warriors have failed to average 4.0 yards per carry as a team since their victory against Wyoming

on Oct. 11. Speaking of the Wyoming game, Hawai‘i has also failed to feature a running back that has ran for more than 68 yards since then. The Warriors were led by running back Joey Iosefa in rushing yards for the second week in a row as he totaled 68 yards on the ground. Since his return to the lineup two weeks ago, Iosefa has totaled 132 yards and scored two touchdowns in two games. Iosefa’s rushing touchdown against the Spartans marked the sixth time he has found the end zone this season for UH, leading all other running backs on his team. In fact, Iosefa has about three times as many touchdowns as any other running back for Hawai‘i despite playing in four games this season. WORST TO FIRST

The Warriors have turned their defensive red zone struggles around this season. Through the first five games of the season, the Warriors sported the worst red zone defense in the Mountain West Conference (MWC). The defense allowed its opponents to score 13 touchdowns and two field goals on 15 trips to the UH red zone, giving opponents a 100 percent conversion rate. Fast forward to Week 11 where the Warriors now own the number one red zone defense in the MWC with a 77.5 percent opponent conversion rate, while forcing five turnovers in the process. On the flip side, the Warriors offense converted 3 of 3 on red zone opportunities against the Spartans on two Tyler Hadden field goals and a rushing touchdown from Iosefa.

However, SJSU were held to just 25 percent on fourth down conversions against UH as they were 1-4 on fourth down, turning the ball over on downs three times while on Hawai‘i’s side of the ﬁeld. Through 11 games, the Spartans own the worst turnover rate in the MWC where they have committed a dismal 24 turnovers on the season while forcing its opponents to commit just 13 turnovers during that span. Although Hawai‘i won the turnover battle Saturday against SJSU, the Warriors have the third worst turnover rate in the MWC, ranking 10th. UH has committed 22 total turnovers and is tied with the Spartans for committing the most fumbles in the conference with 11.

Outside of a few outliers, Rainbow Wahine freshmen spend plenty of time cheering from the bench.

Fresh faces for the future The challenges and benefits of a team with seven freshmen ANDREW SWITAJ STAFF WRITER

The Rainbow Wahine volleyball team has seven freshmen-one more than the maximum number of players allowed on the court for each team. There are subtle differences between athletes at the high school and collegiate level, especially pertaining to Division I athletes. As a result, the freshmen of the Wahine volleyball team have had to adjust to a more rigorous and driven athletic curriculum. Kendra Koelsch, Clare-Marie Anderson, Megan Huff, Gianna Guinasso, Emily Maglio, Kalei Greeley and Savanah Kahakai headline the 2014 freshmen class for the University of Hawai‘i Rainbow Wahine volleyball team. Their development this season has had an effect on the starting lineup and depth of the team. Wahine head coach Dave Shoji believes that the freshmen have adapted well to the collegiate level and can contribute to the success of this season. “All the back row players are ﬁne,” Shoji said. “They can go in and play.” By learning the challenges of the college game, the freshmen have

been able to take it upon themselves to perform better and compete for spots on the team, even against the more senior members of the team. Savanah Kahakai and Kalei Greeley, both of whom are freshmen on the team, have enjoyed the abnormally large number of freshmen and believe that the bonds they

be willing to put in the time and effort in order to truly become better at their sport. For instance, the number of repetitions done during practice are vastly higher at the collegiate level than at the high school level. The saying “practice makes perfect” is taken to heart on the volleyball team, as Shoji forces his squad to

“We’ve bonded really well from camp and everyone has been able to get along together.” – SAVANAH KAHAKAI FRESHMAN

have made have created a strong team chemistry. “We’ve bonded really well from camp and everyone has been able to get along together” said Kahakai, who has had to make the transition from left back position to more of a libero role. Although there is an obvious difference in athletic and physical prowess at the collegiate level, another aspect that the seven freshmen must have that cannot be taught is the passion for the game. The will and drive of an athlete must be strong; they need to

run repetition after repetition until the drill is done right. “I feel that we need a day every week to work on skills so, we touch on all types of skills during practice,” Shoji said. Each repetition is valuable for each player, but more so for freshman athletes as it gives each player experience in certain situations. Playing on the road is a challenge for college athletes and it is imperative that freshmen learn and prepare as soon as possible for this so that they can further better themselves while

improving the team in the process. Nikki Taylor has done her best to inform the new players about life on the road as an athlete in an attempt to prepare her teammates for away-game atmospheres. “They need to remember that a lot of times you enter that away gym, you are the opponent. They do their research so they know a lot about you,” Taylor said. Because of the immense difference in speed and power that is required in collegiate volleyball from high school, players must undergo taxing training requirements designed to develop the players’ power, explosiveness, quickness and flexibility, just to name a few. Without the drive, it is difficult for volleyball players to develop into world-class players and meet the standards set by Shoji. Another difference in the collegiate game is the mental aspects of Division I volleyball. Specifically, there is a psychological adjustment that needs to take place from what freshmen were used to as seniors in high school. When coming straight out of high school to play for a college team, freshmen often make mistakes that could have been easily fixed with more experience. Many of the volleyball freshmen

have switched roles from their high school positions and therefore need time to gain experience in the roles. Nevertheless, Shoji is optimistic about the progress his freshmen have made thus far. “I think Greeley has played well all year and she has made the adjustment to Division I,” Shoji said. “[Megan Huff] has taken some time for her to get used to it.” Greeley’s transition has been a delightful surprise for Shoji and his staff, as she has continued to play well this season. Greeley attributes her success to the time she spent during this past summer assimilating herself into her new home in Hawai‘ i. “I am glad that I had summer to adjust,” Greeley said. “By the time fall came along, I was more adjusted and felt more at home.” The freshmen development this season may appear to be a slow process for fans, but it is imperative to the growth of the program. Although Greeley thought the transition was “a little rough at ﬁrst,” she believes that the team is coming along, which will guide the team for further success in years to come. “I really like this freshmen class,” Greeley said. “I’m excited for our senior year.” Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

Nov. 9 to Nov. 15

CROSS COUNTRY The Rainbow Wahine cross country team wrapped up their 2014 season on Friday at the NCAA West Regional Championships. Freshman Montana Martinez was the top ﬁnisher for Hawai‘ i, placing 175th overall with a time of 23:14.7. Martinez has now been the top ﬁnisher for the ‘Bows in all eight races this season. Arizona State’s Shelby Houlihan captured the individual title with a time of 19:31.6.

MEN’S BASKETBALL The Rainbow Warrior basketball team used strong second halves against both Arkansas-Pine Bluff and Cal State Bakersﬁeld to start the season 2-0. Hawai‘ i used a 21-0 run against Arkansas-Pine Bluff to turn a onepoint halftime lead into an 80-51 lead with less than seven minutes to play. Against Bakersﬁeld, Hawai‘i trailed 34-28 at halftime, but a 15-0 run in the second half allowed the ‘Bows to steal another win. The 2-0 start advances Hawai‘ i to the championship game of the Outrigger Resorts Rainbow Classic. The ‘Bows will face North Carolina’s High Point on Monday at 11:59 p.m.

SOFTBALL

The Rainbow Warrior golf team concluded its fall season with an 11th place finish at the Ka‘anapali Classic Collegiate Invitational. On Nov. 9, the team finished with an 888-stroke total in the 13-team field. Sophomore Pono Tokioka had a strong showing, shooting a final round 3-under 68 to finish in a tie for fifth place. Tokioka, who competed as an individual, finished 5-under 208 for the tournament. For the team, sophomore Skye Inakoshi had the best individual score, tying for 24th with a 217, while senior Brian Lee finished with a 220 and in a tie for 36th.

The Rainbow Wahine opened their season in thrilling fashion, earning an overtime victory over Colorado State. Hawai‘ i had a slight 29-28 lead at halftime, but fell behind in the second before a late rally pulled them close. Junior guard Destiny King hit a clutch pair of free throws to force overtime, and later hit another pair to seal the win. King ﬁnished with a team-high 14 points and 10 rebounds, while senior Shawna-Lei Kuehu added 12 points and 11 rebounds. The ‘Bows continue their road trip against Denver on Sunday.

The Rainbow Wahine defeated the Alumnae squad by a score of 11-1 on Saturday, concluding their fall slate of games. After the two teams exchanged zeroes in the first three innings, the Rainbow Wahine scored five runs in the fourth, and tacked on another in the fifth. The Alumnae got on the board in the bottom of the sixth, but the current squad reignited offensively in the bottom of the inning, tacking on five more runs for the final margin of victory. Freshman Brittany Hitchcock earned the win, throwing four scoreless innings with three strikeouts. Offensively, the ‘Bows were anchored by sophomore Heather Morales, who went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBIs. SHANE GRACE / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I; FILE PHOTO / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Every game’s a party NICK HUTH SPORTS EDITOR

In the University of Hawai‘i men’s basketball preseason opener, the team welcomed an exhibition-record audience with over 500 students. The theme of that night was “Green Night,” where fans were encouraged to wear green attire to the game, and the Mānoa Maniacs gave away green T-shirts at the pregame tailgate. As a remnant of Gib Arnold’s tenure with the program, Hawai‘i has boosted its student attendance behind a planned partnership between the team and Mānoa Maniacs. Former performance analyst Jamie Smith was the bridge between the two groups. “The Mānoa Maniacs are going to have a huge impact on this year’s success,” Smith said. “They have made a huge commitment to men’s

basketball this season by earmarking a signiﬁcant proportion of their budget to men’s basketball.” Attendance dropped in each of the three straight losing seasons under Bob Nash, the previous head coach before Arnold’s arrival in 2010. When Arnold inherited Nash’s Warriors, they were coming off a 10-20 season and a rare losing record at home. In his ﬁrst season with Hawai‘ i, Arnold helped the team to a 14-5 home record, and the average attendance increased by 684. As part of the plans for both men’s basketball and Mānoa Maniacs, we’ve compiled the planned theme nights for the rest of the season.

Learning lessons The Warriors respond to adversity in regular season opener NICK HUTH SPORTS EDITOR

After a shaky start to its season opener against Arkansas-Pine Bluff, the Rainbow Warrior men’s basketball team turned a poor shooting performance in the first half into an offensive outburst in the second to win 85-57. Even as the team enjoyed its victory, acting head coach Benjy Taylor mentioned that the team was less experienced than its opponent on Friday night. “We’re one of the most inexperienced teams in the country. We have one starter returning,” Taylor said. After a controversial preseason and a rapid coaching change, Hawai‘ i defeated Division II opponent Hawai‘i Pacific 62-55. But when the Warriors finally opened their regular season, they responded from a difficult first half to pull away after halftime. Hawai‘i exited the first half of its season opener with just a 33-32 lead, but bounced back from its 33 percent shooting effort to outscore UAPB 52-25 in the second half. “We needed to see some adversity and needed to keep our composure and come out and do what we needed to do in the second half,” Taylor said after Friday’s game. FINISHING STRONG

After a relatively narrow victory against HPU, the Warriors hosted their ﬁrst Division I opponent since losing its head coach and

star player, Isaac Fotu, and shot only 33 percent from the field in the first half. Hawai‘i wasn’t helped by the delayed start time, which was caused when Cal State Bakersfield and High Point played a game that went to an unlikely fourth overtime period. “I didn’t handle it well and our team didn’t handle it well,” Taylor said, regarding the one hour delay before the team’s season opener. The team mentioned that they tried to stay calm in the locker room, but when they finally got on the court, Arkansas-Pine Bluff implemented a high-pressure defense that forced Hawai‘i into 11 turnovers. “We had a slow start, but we’re not going to blow teams out in the first five minutes,” Aaron Valdes said. Valdes, who finished the game leading the team with 28 points on 11-of-15 shooting, kept the Warriors ahead with 11 points in the first half before helping to set a tone with five quick points to begin the final period. FRESH FACES

After sitting out all of last season due to NCAA transfer rules, Negus Webster-Chan saw his first action as a Rainbow Warrior on Friday night. He finished with 16 points and eight rebounds in his first action since transferring from Missouri. “It took me a full year to get back on that court and feel that energy from the fans – it was amazing. I couldn’t ask for a better place to play,” Webster-Chan said.

Webster-Chan was forced to adapt to a new offensive system and being on the court with his teammates for the first time. When Mike Thomas, the forward that led the Warriors in scoring against HPU, got into foul trouble, Webster-Chan picked up the slack. Thomas finished with zero points in just 13 minutes, while the Missouri transfer racked up 29 minutes on the court. Indian Hills Community College transfer Roderick Bobbitt also played his ﬁrst regular season game in a Hawai‘ i uniform. As the starting point guard, Bobbitt played the most minutes on the team while adjusting to a new role. There were some growing pains, according to Taylor. “He was frustrated and I got a little frustrated with him, but at the end of the day he had 11 [points] and 7 [assists]. I expect so much more from and he expects more from himself,” Taylor said. “But the thing I love about him is that he does a lot of different things to win basketball games.” The team continued its season with two more games in the Rainbow Classic against High Point and Cal State Bakersﬁeld, but in its opening game, Taylor hopes that they established a mentality that he’s been aiming for. “If we can continue to be tough and continue to have a ‘never die’ mentality, I still think we can win some games while learning some lessons.” Ka Leo O Hawai‘i
