E-cigarettes prohibited in state buildings Electronic cigarettes are no longer allowed in state government buildings as the policy went into effect this month.

The policy is part of the state’s effort to keep public locations and workplaces smoke-free as tests show that vapors from e-cigarettes contain nicotine, toxic chemicals and other carcinogens, which are harmful like second-hand smoke from regular cigarettes.

A 2006 law prohibited smoking tobacco products in workplaces and places open to the public.

Security rebrand costs $24,800 Department of Public Safety, UH’s security force, gets a facelift MATHEW URSUA STAFF WRITER

New officer uniforms and decals for patrol cars are part of a fresh look for UH Mānoa’s security force that is costing the department $24,800.

The changes, which are part of an effort to rebrand the former Campus Security as the new Department of Public Safety (DPS), come as the university prepares to reign in spending in the face of an anticipated budget shortfall.

But the department defended the rebranding.

DPS spokeswoman Sarah Rice said the costs were covered by security’s operating budget and that the department didn’t ask the campus for additional funds.

“This was all within our normal spending throughout the year,” Rice said.

The uniforms, complete with new patches and badges, are part of DPS’s rebranding that started with a name change this summer and will end with new graphics for patrol cars.

DPS officers started wearing their latest uniforms two weeks ago.

COST OF IMPROVING

As with most university expenditures, the job of producing security officers’ new uniforms was put up for bid, and the lowest bidder got the job.

“It ended up saving us a lot of money,” Rice said.

For the new patches and badges, the cost was just over $1,000.

Rice said that timing has been good and that in some cases the rebranding coincided with the need for new logo items.

The department still has to update its vehicle graphics.

Rice said the department’s new insignia was designed by UH’s marketing department, and that the marketing department was able to print the wall graphics seen inside the security office. But the job of printing new vehicle liveries will likely have to be outsourced, Rice said.

Kathy Cutshaw. Vice chancellor for Administration Finance and Operations, said that the livery needs to be changed, as there were plans to add the emergency number 911 to the sides of patrol cars. Cutshaw said the cost for rebranding the vehicles would be about $12,000.

Last fiscal year, the department

had a budget of around $2,032,000.

Numbers aren’t available for this fiscal year.

BECOMING THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC UBLIC SAFETY

MORE THAN MARKETING

Rice didn’t want to call the changes an upgrade or a reboot, instead referring to it as a rebranding.

The department is more than a security force, and security changed its name to Department of Public Safety because the name better reflects the scope of what it does, according to Rice.

Public Safety is tasked with compiling reports and statistics. Federal laws require those reports. D.P.S. is also responsible for sending the emergency notifications known as UH Alerts.

Rice said the department promoted the new look to make sure people knew its name.

“Since we are the security force here, people do need to know our name,” Rice said, “We wanted to inform all of our stakeholders.”

Rice said the name change happened in July, months before the department issued a news release in mid-September that unveiled its newly designed patch.

NEW SQUAD CAR GRAPHICS: $12,000 UNIFORMS: $11,800 BADGES & PATCHES: $1,000 TOTAL: $24,800

The new uniforms arrived about two weeks ago, Rice said.

According to Rice, the officers were consulted about the uniforms and made decisions about the look and feel of the material.

“A lot of thought went into the uniforms, and they were consulted along the way,” Rice said.

Entrepreneur and real estate mogul Jay Shidler announced Friday he will donate $69 million to the University of Hawai‘i business college that bears his name.

Shidler pledged the money in a ceremony at the Shidler College of Business courtyard.

He will pay out the money over his lifetime and through his estate.

He said that part of the $69 million gift includes land beneath office buildings in major cities on the mainland. That part of the gift will provide a stream of revenue from the tenants of the buildings, which includes some land below Wake Forest University in North Carolina.

The gift brings the total Shidler has given to the college so far to $100 million. He has made smaller donations to UH over the past two decades.

“This latest gift will benefit Hawai‘i residents and businesses for generations. It will have a lasting impact on the Shidler College of Business, the University of Hawai‘ i and the state of Hawai‘ i,” said UH president David Lassner in a statement.

Shidler graduated from UH Mānoa in 1968 with a Bachelor’s degree in business administration. He went on to found The Shidler Group, which owns about 2,000 properties across the United States and Canada.

Campus needs to slow its rate of spending, vice chancellor says Costs continue to rise as revenue decreases KEVIN DENEEN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

On a regular basis campus administration and deans will sit down to make sure they have the resources they need to teach the classes and that their budgets are going to be healthy this fiscal year.

This is part of a school and college budget review that the campus began last week.

“There is much more interaction between administration and the deans, and how they are budgeting,” said Kathy Cutshaw, vice chan-

cellor for administration, finance and operations.

As the cost for operating the campus rises, UH Mānoa continues to spend more money than it receives.

“Overall funding [for the campus] with general funds, appropriations and tuition revenue is down since 2009,” Cutshaw said.

“UH relies heavily on money from the state and tuition dollars, to cover its cost,” Cutshaw said.

RECEIVING LESS MONEY

The campus fixed costs are increasing and revenue is decreasing.

Since 2007, Hawaiian Electric Co. rates have risen 45 percent on Mānoa’s utility bill, Cutshaw said.

In addition, this year the number of students enrolled in the campus decreased by about 500 students.

Student tuition dollars play a big part in the unrestricted funds used for faculty salaries and utilities.

UH Mānoa is currently spending more than what it has coming in; it also continues to spend its reserves.

The university has to sow down the rate of spending due to the decreased revenue, Cutshaw said.

She added that interim Chan-

SPAS receives seven Title VI grants for four years.

These grants help support international and graduate studies, in addi-

THE AMOUNT UH MĀNOA WILL RECEIVE IN THE FIRST YEAR ACCORDING TO SUTTON.

cellor Bley-Vroman has developed a budget cut committee. The committee will be looking at the campus’s budget holistically to see what steps need to be taken.

With less revenue dollars coming in and rising costs, UH Mānoa’s different schools are budgeting their spending. SPAS is one school that ended with a healthy budget last fiscal year, according to Cutshaw.

THE SCHOOL OF PACIFIC AND ASIAN STUDIES

SPAS needs approximately $5 million to operate efficiently, which it gets from general funds, tuitions and external grants, according to SPAS dean, Anderson Sutton.

“The school has been quite sucSOURCE: ANDERSON SUTTON  The dean of SPAS said the school has to be careful with its spending. cessful in bringing in grants from The school lost its outreach coordinator and will offer fewer sections of the federal government,” Sutton Pacific Island Studies 108 in the spring. said in an email interview.

tion to paying for partial salaries for staff and graduate assistants.

However, the grant program was cut by 50 percent at the national level four years ago due to the recession, but with the economy recovering, the grants have been restored to their full amount. The school has been successful in obtaining the grant for the next four-year cycle to help with funding.

“This is a good piece of financial news for us,” Sutton said.

The school recently lost its fulltime outreach coordinator, who also lectured a course called Pacific Island Studies 108.

SPAS is working to find a new coordinator but has been advised by administration not to hire unless for extreme needs. SPAS, like other schools, has a tight budget and is limited on spending currently.

“Some of us would say hiring a new outreach coordinator is an o extreme need,” Sutton said.

He added that most fall SPAS courses are still being offered but the school will offer fewer sections of Pacific Island Studies 108 in the spring.

“The effects we feel here in the School of Pacific and Asian studies, we have to brace and be careful with our spending,” Sutton said.

HOW THE CAMPUS GETS MONEY

UH Mānoa has a biennium budget process, where the university as a whole goes down to the state to ask for resources. The Board of Regents defines the budget that the campuses ask for and approves it.

The university uses a historical based methodology to fund the campus’ schools and departments, Cutshaw said. Each school receives the same amount as they did last year, and if there are any cuts by the state, each school receives their portion of the budget cut.

“They do not get tuition revenue according to what they might teach,” Cutshaw said.

According to Cutshaw, the campus also receives grants, but those are only given for certain purposes so they can only cover certain programs. She added that only a portion of them can be used to support faculty salaries.

Elevators on campus range in age with some being between 30-50 years old.

Campus elevators to recieve a lift NOELLE FUJII NEWS EDITOR

Last spring, history professor Karen Jolly was riding in one of Sakamaki Hall’s elevators when the elevator’s power went out, leaving her confined in the dark for more than half an hour.

Jolly was with another staff member, but this wasn’t the first time she had gotten stuck. During the same semester, Jolly’s elevator stopped between two floors when she was alone.

The elevators in these buildings are part of a group of 17 elevators that will be replaced in the second phase of the campus’ Elevator Modernization Project.

“This project was started because the elevators have exceeded their normal life cycle expectancy and are performing unreliably,” Stephen Meder, interim assistant vice chancellor for Planning and Facilities, said in an email interview.

The repairs come when many elevators on campus are already 10 to 20 years beyond their intended lifespan. Consequences of using such old elevators have ranged from extended wait times to faculty and students getting stuck in cabs for hours at a time.

The project should minimize the amount of trouble calls, Meder said.

“The UH Mānoa campus administration and Office of Planning and Facilities are spending millions of dollars to modernize the campus,” he said. “We are making it safer, more energy efficient and better operating.

This is happening on many fronts – from rooftops, through elevators, to renovating buildings and modernizing infrastructure.”

Since the incidents last spring, Jolly has taken the stairs to get to her fourth floor office.

CAMPUS ELEVATORS

There are approximately 94 elevators on campus, some of which are between 30-50 years old.

According to Meder, the typical lifespan of an elevator is between 20-30 years.

“That’s really scary, because I’ve been in some where they make funny noises, and I just assume that they’re up to date because it’s a school, right?” senior Tessa Peaslee said. “I hope nothing bad ever happens.”

Junior George Bonilla said he supports the project since elevator maintenance is a safety concern.

“If there’s any technical difficulties, they should fix it because that’s a hazard for students,” he

said. “It’s a safety factor, and it’s all about the students being safe to go to classes.”

The main factor that determines an elevator’s life span, according to Michael Plunkett, branch manager for KONE elevators in Honolulu, is the amount of use it gets.

“If it’s in a heavy-used area, it’s going to wear out a lot faster,” he said. “Just like a car, it’s not so much the years but the miles. It’s the same with elevators.”

Another thing to consider is the environment in which the elevator is installed.

“If it’s exposed to a lot of water, salt air, that type of thing, the elevators will wear out a lot quicker than if they’re inside a building where it’s basically sealed up,” he said. “In climate-controlled buildings, the equipment’s going to last a lot longer.”

The original design of an elevator also plays a role.

“Some elevators are better than others” Plunkett said. “I find that traction elevators, for example, are ones that have steel cables that move them up and down, tend to last longer than hydraulic elevators.”

MODERNIZING THE ELEVATORS

According to Meder, there will be

as many as five phases of the project as the number of trouble calls there are about them determines the elevators in each phase. Currently, 44 elevators on campus have been identified.

Since July 2012, Facilities Management has renovated 13 elevators on campus, including those at the Art Building and Bilger Hall.

That figure doesn’t include any of the 17 currently under repair.

General Obligation Bond Funds for Mānoa Capital Renewal and Deferred Maintenance projects are used to fund the project, according to Meder.

In March, Facilities Management plans to start work on 14 elevators, including some in Kuykendall Hall and Watanabe Hall.

Jolly said she looks forward to the new elevators but is concerned about how well they’ll function. The same day she got stuck in Sakamaki’s elevator a second time, she was told another person had gotten stuck in one in Moore Hall.

“That made me nervous because I thought well those are new elevators,” she said.

According to Meder, Thyseen Krupps, KONE, Otis, Schindler Elevator and Mitsubishi Electric maintain campus elevators.

“UHM is in the early stages of a decade of renewal,” he said. “We may be inconvenienced by the ongoing construction, but each new improvement moves us closer to the high-quality 21st century campus that our students, faculty, staff, alumni, visitors and the people of Hawai‘ i deserve.”

ELEVATOR TROUBLE CALLS

From Jan. 1, 2014 to Oct. 10, 2014, there were six reported instances where the elevator did not open when a rider was inside, according to information from the Work Coordination Center. This figure does not include situations where the door opened before a trouble call was placed and/or before service personnel responded.

Three of the instances occurred in the Sakamaki Hall elevators.

Five instances occurred during the spring 2014 semester, and one occurred during this semester.

Elevator problems should be reported to the Work Coordination Center at 956-7134 or to the Department of Public Safety at 956-6911 on weekends or after 4:15 p.m. on weekdays.

Regents OK in-state tuition for student vets Current students say change is key to building veteran community on campus ERIC ANCHETA CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The Board of Regents unanimously approved in-state tuition for veteran students, according to Jan Javinar, interim associate vice president for Student Affairs.

Because of the regents’ approval, the board’s policy on exemptions to non-resident tuition will be amended to include veterans of the United States Armed Forces who enroll at University of Hawai‘i within three years of their honorable discharge and those who use their GI Bill benefits, according to Javinar’s proposal. This revision is expected to take effect in the spring 2015 semester.

Student veterans have been key in lobbying for the change, according to Kenith Scott a graduate student at UH Mānoa.

“Approving this exemption is great not only for student vets but for UH. I believe this will increase the veteran population at UH now that they don’t have to pay out-ofstate tuition,” Scott said.

SUPPORT FOR STUDENT VETERANS

For veterans like Scott who are

long-time students at UH, there is a sense of pride to see the school support current and future student veterans. This is a big step in the right direction towards building a long lasting relationship with UH and veterans, Scott said.

The Student Veterans Organization (SVO) at UH Mānoa takes the approval of in-state tuition as a victory in the advocacy for student veterans across the entire UH system, according to James Henry, SVO president.

“When we left our home state to join the military we became veter-

approved this revision, Henry said.

According to Javinar’s proposal, veterans of the United States Armed Forces who enroll at UH within three years of their honorable discharge and those who use their GI Bill benefits should be able to receive a waiver of the nonresident tuition differential.

“The criteria is veterans who enroll in UH within three years of their discharge from spring 2015,” Javinar said.

Returning students can still meet the criteria as long as they were discharged within three years of

ans of the United States,” Henry said.

Henry is a U.S. Army combat veteran who served multiple combat tours with the 82nd Airborne Division. This revision allows veterans to attend a UH school without the penalty of being a non-resident. Most active duty members are moved around to multiple locations so this is a great deal that UH

the spring 2015 implementation of this proposal, according to Javinar.

In fiscal year 2013, the university waived nonresident tuition differentials for 1,853 active military personnel and/or dependents, which amounted to approximately $9 million, according to the proposal. In fiscal year 2012, 1,868 active military personnel and/or their dependents

received nonresident tuiton differentials, which amounted to approximately $8 million.

In fall 2013, 2,126 veterans – not including spouses and/or dependents – attended UH on military education benefits. Of those veterans, 286 were non-residents. In fall 2012, there were 2,077 veterans using these benefits and 219 were from out of state.

ADVOCATING FOR STUDENT VETERANS

“Next is focusing on the SVO and building the organization and our vets presence on campus,” Henry said.

The SVO, the campus’ sole veterans organization, advocates for student veterans across the UH sytem.

Recently, the SVO sat down with Sen. Mazie Hirono to discuss concerns related to veterans. Hirono serves on the United States Senate Committee on Veterans Affairs and the United States Senate Committee on Armed Services.

In the meeting, student veterans voiced their concerns on topics the group identified as priorities for student veterans. Some of the concerns were establishing a permanent veterans committee at UH, priority registration for veterans,

and having an established veterans resource center on campus.

As a member of the veterans affairs committee, Hirono would like to have an open dialogue with Hawai‘i veterans. Meetings such as the one with the campus’ SVO are important to keeping that communication flowing, according to the Hirono.

The meeting brought together outside parties interested in the dialogue between the student veterans at UH and the senator.

A representative from the Veterans of Foreign Wars Department of Hawai‘i, Ben Acohido, was in attendance as well.

“Our organization offers many services at no cost to all veterans and can advise student veterans on issues related to their GI Bill and VA-related health care,” Acohido said.

Veterans are encouraged to sign up for Senator Hirono’s newsletter for updates on news related to Hawai‘ i veterans.

Source of Watanabe smell still unknown ANGUSINA CAMPBELL CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The cause of a smell that led to the evacuation of Watanabe Hall on Oct. 13 is still unknown, according to Sarah Rice, the campus’s Department of Public Safety programs manager.

Roy Takekawa, director of the Environmental Health and Safety Office (EHSO), said that the smell was inconsistent with a natural gas leak because it dissipated and did not recur. He also ruled out the possibility of a chemical accident, owing to the lack of chemicals in Watanabe Hall.

Though the odor’s source was unknown, EHSO did not consider the smell a threat to safety, and after the smell dissipated DPS cleared the building that evening for re-entry. No Tuesday classes were cancelled due to the incident “because the smell went away,” according to Rice.

Though Watanabe Hall was cleared for entry, some were concerned that the cause of the odor had not been identified. Shigenobu Matsuno, an associate researcher and physics profes-

sor, expressed the importance of identifying the source.

“I think knowing the exact reason why it happened is the best thing we need to do,” Matsuno said. “That’s the only thing we can do ... [Or else] nobody can improve the situation.”

A SMELL IN WATANABE

Pui Lam, the physics and astronomy department chairman, reported the smell at about 2:40 p.m.

“I smelled it ... and I sent an email about it,” Lam said.

Mihajlo Kornicer, a postdoctoral research fellow, also detected the smell. He was in his office in Watanabe Hall at the time Lam reported the smell.

“People smelled it in the middle of the hallway,” Kornicer said.

Co-workers told him to evacuate the building.

Others, like Xiaowen Shu, a physics graduate student who was in Watanabe Hall at the time of the incident, and Rui Pereira, a physics postdoctoral student also in Watanabe Hall, evacuated the building following instructions in a mass email sent by Lam. After Watanabe Hall was evacuated, DPS closed the building, and

the EHSO conducted an investigation to find the source of the smell.

“We have no more control over those situations than anybody else does, so we just take the proper precautions that we can,” Rice said.

AFTER THE INCIDENT

Still, professors and students have stated that they felt safe

while in Watanabe Hall two days after the incident. They would, however, like the situation to be improved in the future. “[It would] be safe to have some alarm system,” Shu said.

Shu continued that an alarm would have been helpful in alerting people in the building who may have been unaware of the situa-

tion. Kornicer agreed with him. “I think, maybe, a better alarm system for everybody in the building, [to be able to] evacuate. That would be beneficial,” Kornicer said when asked what could have been improved about the situation.

Prostitution, mankind’s “oldest profession,” remains illegal across much of the world in 2014 to the detriment of sex workers everywhere.

World governments and the state of Hawai‘i need to accept the sale of sex between consenting adults and treat it like any other industry.

BLACK MARKET BLUES

Similar to illegal recreational drugs, the negative aspects of

sex work come primarily from the trade’s criminalization. Because sex workers are considered criminals in most societies, they may not trust the justice system enough to report crimes to police and are more likely to fall prey to violent customers.

According to studies conducted by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), sex workers have a 45-75 percent chance of experiencing workplace violence over their lifetimes.

The World Health Organization (WHO) recently reported “violence

against sex workers is associated with inconsistent condom use or lack of condom use, and with increased risk of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection.”

Prostitution is profitable because it illegality brings legal risks and the demand for paid sex far exceeds the supply of sex workers.

There are high costs associated with kidnapping, secretly transporting and forcing people against their will into prostitution.

If legal, the price of prostitution

Several countries around the world have tried legalizing prostitution to various degrees and generally get better results from more liberal policies. Germany legalized prostitution in 2002, and has not experienced higher rates of STIs among workers or the general population.

The average age of sex workers in Germany is 31, suggesting that young minors are not forced into the trade there. While high quality services are still pricey, a sex worker told Der Spiegel, a German magazine, that the average blowjob before legalization was around $55, but is now less than $20.

The Netherlands, New Zealand, Brazil, Portugal and Mexico have also had success liberalizing laws and reducing crime against sex workers while raising much-needed tax revenue. Registering with the

and you have likely passed by one without realizing it.

The problem with these parlors is that they operate in cash to avoid paying taxes to the financially distressed state of Hawai‘i. This undercover states means the work safety conditions inside are not regulated by a governmental body. Legalizing prostitution would benefit everyone involved except for the pimps and madams currently exploiting workers by offering protection.

Legalizing prostitution, could serve as a boost to tourism and increase the flow of cash and capital into the state while freeing up law enforcement resources. Hawai‘i already attracts millions of visitors each year, and legalizing — and taxing — this trade could pay dividends for the trade.

All-white club in the television industry The challenges of racial diversity in the media ABBYGAIL SADOY STAFF WRITER

The issue of racial diversity in the media has raised a few eyebrows in the last couple of decades. Fans and media professionals alike sparked debates about the current state of nationalities portrayed in television and movies. Changes are needed in the media industry for more racially-diverse actors.

IN THE TELEVISION INDUSTRY

Known for her colorblind casting, Shonda Rhimes, a screenwriter and director, thinks that racial diversity in television shouldn’t be an issue in 2014.

“I think it’s fascinating to me that we still live in a world in which

people truly believe that because someone is a different color than them, that they couldn’t relate to them or have a similar experience,” Rhimes said. “That’s the most bizarre thing to me.”

She previously criticized actress and producer Lena Dunham about her popular HBO all-white cast in “Girls”, after Dunham expressed that she drew from her white experience and would have found it tough to add a person of color.

It shouldn’t have to be a different story because the person was a different color.

As a fan of all of Rhimes shows such as “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Scandal,” and the newly debuted “How To Get Away With Murder,” I agree.

Although there may be a few char-

acteristic and cultural traits that can differentiate with an audience member, the experiences we have as human beings is colorless and can’t be defined or polarized by skin tone.

Characters are meant to be human first, and human experiences are transparent with whatever color household is watching the show.

Even “Saturday Night Live” recently received some flack. This fall marks the 40th season of the seasoned sketch comedy show, and with the rare mid-season hire of Sasheer Zamata the diversity between its cast members sparked a new fire. Zamata is the first African-American female performer to be hired since the departure of Maya Rudolph in 2007.

PERCENT

OF ALL DEBRIS ON U.S. COASTLINES IS PLASTIC BAGS.

According to the U.S. National Park Service, plastic bags take 10-20 years to decompose.

KRISTEN PAUL BONIFACIO OPINIONS EDITOR

Plastic bags have made our lives better. Shopping for produce has become easy and convenient. However, they are not often recycled.

Most end up littering the streets or in landfills. It is time that the United States limit our country’s use of plastic bags and find eco-friendlier alternatives.

A DANGER TO THE ENVIRONMENT

Plastic bags pose a great threat to the environment. According to the U.S. National Park Service, plastic bags take between 10-20 years to decompose. It’s not practical to recycle them, since they

are meant for one-time use.

Furthermore, the reason we use them is for convenience. It is something that we can live without. The trade-offs of being able to carry more things does not offset the fact that they will end up as trash in a landfill.

The total cost of the production of plastic bags also contributes to the pollution of the environment.

From obtaining the necessary materials, to getting them transported to facilities, the amount of energy used in those facilities to create plastic bags is substantial.

The facilities are not only using the world’s resources, but they are also producing products that are not beneficial for the environment.

ONE STATE AT A TIME

The plastic ban bill that was recently passed in California is a step towards a greener future for our country. The bill, which will take effect July 2015, will phase out plastic bags in all grocery stores throughout the state. With the largest population of the 50 states, the bill will make an impact.

Here in Hawai‘i, a similar bill has been approved and will also take effect in July 2015 for the island of O‘ahu. Changes were recently made concerning the definition of “biodegradable bags.” In the revised bill, biodegradable plastic bags will also be banned.

The other islands have already adopted bans, and Honolulu County

is the last county in our state to do this. Plastic bags have been banned in Maui County since 2011. Similarly, a law banning single-use plastic bags took effect January of this year for Hawai‘i County.

These other counties that have banned plastic bags are proof that plastic bag bans do work.

Many opponents of laws banning plastic bags argue that they will cost the jobs of those who produce the bags. However, there is always the option for these companies to transition to manufacturing reusable bags.

Included in the California bill is a $2 million loan for companies manufacturing plastic bags to help them switch to creating reus-

able bags. And although this aid may not be available for companies in states where plastic bags are banned, this should not overshadow the environmental impact that plastic bags have.

For our state, the plastic ban bill will protect our unique wildlife. Each year, our demands and our consumption of the world resources limit what will be available to future generations.

We need to realize that every decision we make affecting the environment has impacts that are long-lasting and irreversible. If one-by-one, each state bans plastic bags and if metropolitan cities adopt this law, the environment will benefit.

Television: is more diversity needed? from p.11

However, it’s a realistic depiction of relationships in America. The Coca-Cola ad in this year’s Super Bowl XLVIII sparked a shock wave after being watched by more than 100 million people.

In the ad, “America the Beautiful” is sung in eight languages, and both applause and outrage poured through social media. People tried to emphasize the false notion that English is the “official” language, when in fact according to USA.gov, there is no official language in the United States.

I found the controversy to be quite shocking and tiring at the same time. Do people not see interracial couples everyday? Do people only hear English spoken every day? It’s ridiculous, unrealistic and downright untrue.

America is a country of immigrants, a melting pot of cultures from around the world. Regardless if one was born in the U.S., unless one has only Native American roots, everyone has foreign blood in them.

AT THE BOX OFFICE

After the release of “The Hunger Games” in 2012, racist and hateful remarks flared from social media bashing the casting of an African-American actress to cast as “Rue,” despite being described as a “dark brown skin” girl in the book.

A study conducted by the University of Southern California observed almost 4,000 characters in the top 100 top-grossing films of 2013. The results showed that black actors were cast in only 14.1 percent of roles. This is only a 1.1 percent increase of black characters on the big screen than in 2007.

picture of the world,” the report said.

“In fact, nearly half of children under the age 5 in the U.S. are not white, which means that both the current and future audience for films is far more diverse than what is shown on screen.”

STRIVING FOR CHANGES

In today’s media world, I’m noticing diversity in different sectors such as talk shows and game shows. There’s a range of talk show hosts now from “The View,” “The Talk,” “The Real,” “The Steve Harvey Show,” “The Queen Latifah Show,” “The Wendy Williams Show” and

America consists of different cultures and I believe human stories in television and movies should be depicted as such.

Seventeen percent of films had no black speaking roles, while Hispanic actors played on 4.9 percent of speaking parts. Although demographics in the U.S. are changing, films “still portray a homogenized

“Live with Michael and Kelly.”

If people behind the scenes took the initiative to put forth a broader range of ethnicities, a more realistic depiction of the country’s population will be portrayed.

This fall, ABC announced three new shows depicting three different families with each show highlighting an actor of different ethnicity.

ABC Entertainment chief Paul Lee spoke at the Television Critics Association in July where he said ABC reflects the diversity of America.

Although ABC has received criticism that its aim to expand its demographics is due to its “fourth place network” status, Lee states otherwise. Its main goal, he says, is to tell honest stories and reflect America.

Because of her consistent blind casting, Rhimes is usually targeted to answer the question “Why isn’t there more diversity?” She responds, “Why don’t we ask some of the white guys – many of whom are lovely, wonderful guys who I know and who seem well – and ask them, because I guarantee that you would actually, probably do more to change things than asking me.”

Only speaking and talking about what is lacking in the media gains nothing. As an Asian-American woman, I have connected with characters from my favorite shows such as The Cosby Show and George Lopez.

I’ve heard a few of the same experiences being told by some of my favorite comedians like Katt Williams, Louis C.K., Aziz Ansari, Chris Rock and Jo Koy. America consists of different cultures and I believe human stories and experiences in television and movies should be depicted as such.

Just like laws and regulations, changes need to be made by those in charge. Shonda Rhimes doesn’t always like to talk about the issue of racial diversity in the media, simply because there shouldn’t be one.

As a creator, screenwriter and executive producer of multiple shows with her own production company, Rhimes would much rather continue telling stories and doing what she does best. She stated after being asked numerous times about the lack of races on-screen, “I couldn’t tell you, because I’m busy casting them.”

UH’s new class standing cutoffs are scheduled to take effect in Fall 2015. They will eliminate the longstanding disparity between individual degree requirements and university-wide policy.

Faulty UH system affects students’ success ANNABELLE LE JEUNE CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Starting in Fall 2015, incoming freshmen cannot expect to be promoted to the sophomore title unless they have completed 30 credits – an increase over the current 25 credits.

The University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa credit cut-offs for class standing confused students into believing they were on pace towards graduation and UH is only changing it now. It is not right for the university to only be addressing this issue now.

WHY THE CHANGE?

“The goal of this is to change the credit number to better align with the actual degree requirements and provide students with a more accurate indicator of their progress to their degree,” Susan Nishida, UH Interim Director of Academic Affairs said.

Students have been misled to believe they were on pace when they were actually behind. Under most undergraduate degree plans, students are halfway through their program – junior status, in other words – when they complete 60 credits.

The previous student standing plan for junior level, however,

was 55 credits, creating a disparity between a student’s degree requirements and their class standing under university-wide policy.

UH SYSTEM IS FAULTY

“I’m not really sure when the misalignment of the student credit cut-off for class standing and degree requirements happened or why it was never properly aligned before,” Nishida said. “The majority of peer institutions are following the 0-29 freshman class standing.”

Because there is no telling when or why this misalignment between the degree requirement and the class standing occurred, UH is

UH has made increasing its fouryear graduation rate a priority.

According to the 2014 U.S. News & World Report rankings, UH currently has a 19 percent four-year graduation rate. And after dropping ten spots, UH now ranks at 168 of 200 universities.

Despite the thousands of dollars UH has poured into ad campaigns like “Do It in 4” and “15 to Finish,” it may be the revision to the credit cut-offs that increases that rate.

UH LOOKS OUT FOR STUDENTS

The UH system does offer flat rate tuition. Since 2001, if a student decided to take more than 12 credits, the tuition price would be

Students had been misled to believe they were on pace when they were actually behind. finally changing it. But it is the students who have to pay for it – in time and money. If students follow the current credit cut off for class standing, taking 12 credits each semester, it would take at least four-and a-half years to graduate.

It’s good news that class standing will be uniform at all levels. The bad news is that it took UH this long to notice and change the system.

equivalent to taking 12 credits.

Essentially, taking 13-19 credits would cost the same as taking 12 credits, with exceptions such as class fees and online courses.

UH is making up for the previous misalignment and does not allow finances to be a burden. Administration encourages students to take up to 15 credits a semester, but it is just a suggestion. Out-of-state students taking more than 12 credits can save more than $1,000 per

credit. This means non-resident students can take 15 credits without having to spend an additional $3,000 on extra credits.

“UH gives me the opportunity to be successful without having to worry about the price tag. It rewards students who want to academically challenge themselves,” out-of-state UH student Adriana Uriarte said.

TIME COSTS MONEY

The largest disadvantage of the credit cut-off for student class standing is within financial aid.

For example, as a freshman, students are only allowed to receive a maximum federal loan of $3,500.

Sophomores are allowed to receive a maximum loan of $4,500. Previously, students at 25 credits would be considered a sophomore. Following the soon-to-be outdated student credit class standing standards could jeopardize a whole $1,000 in loans.

ONE MORE CREDIT MAY BE ONE TOO MANY

“Not all students can do it.

But the institutional resources office did studies on students following the 15 to Finish program. Follow-up studies showed that students taking 15 credits a semester did better than those who did not,” Nishida said.

Perhaps changing the class standing credit cut-off will encourage students to graduate on time.

However, what if the extra load of another class increases class failure rates? Taking an extra class for a full-time student and a parent means less time dedicated to their children or their study. Picking up three more credits a semester could easily equal three less hours of sleep per night for full-time and part-time workers.

Students may want to keep their class standing, but may have to sacrifice more of their time in clubs, exercise, hobbies, sports, socializing or more – all of which are great sources of mental stimulation. These sacrificed activities could build up stress and cause inattention in the classroom.

One thing is certain, the UH credit cut-off has been deceptive. Had it been aligned properly with the degree requirements in the beginning, students would not have to face these overwhelming obstacles.

Students would be able to finish on time, and the university would not be ranking so low. Though fault is blamed on the UH system, they are finally making efforts to properly lead their students to a successful four-year graduation.

SlutWalk demonstration in Toronto is challenging patterns of victim-blaming and slut-shaming surrounding sexual violence.

Preventing rape isn’t a job for potential victims Roofie-detecting nail polish perpetuates victim blaming LISA GRANDINETTI ASSOCIATE OPINIONS EDITOR

Talk about a new nail polish that can detect Flunitrazepam or “roofies,” a drug commonly known as the “date rape drug,” has been met with excitement. The invention by Undercover Nails seems like a helpful new way to help women prevent themselves from being raped.

Women are never responsible for their own rape and survivors of sexual assault are never “asking for it.” The new roofie detecting nail polish reinforces a pattern of victim blaming that is rampant in our patriarchical world and completely misunderstands the issue of sexual assault.

Although roofies are used in some cases of sexual assault, its prevalence has been inflated in the mainstream discourse about rape.

Alcohol is used more often than

However, rapists will target women who are vulnerable and get them too drunk to consent.

This means lowerclassmen are at greater risk, as they are less likely

to the 2006 report “An Examination of Sexual Violence Against College Women” from the Violence Against Women journal.

Another myth about sexual assault is that most of it is committed by strangers, which leads to the argument that roofies is the “date rape drug.” Staff at the UH Mānoa dormitories tell residents to be

aware of who is at a party, never let a drink out of sight and to not take drinks from strangers.

In truth, according to the 2005 U.S. Department of Justice report “Sexual Assault on Campus: What Colleges and Universities Are Doing About It,” 80 to 90 percent of college sexual assaults involve acquaintances, not strangers. This demonstrates why a nail polish to detect roofies is not the answer to the problem of sexual assault.

VICTIM BLAMING

The biggest obstacle to addressing sexual assault on campus and in society in a meaningful, effective way is victim blaming.

Instead of the responsibility of preventing rape being on men, women are given a never-ending, ever-changing list of precautions they must take to not get raped.

For instance, a clearly intoxicated young man near the dorms once told me I was “too hot to be out

this late,” suggesting if I was raped, it would be my fault because I should stay home at night.

Victim blaming is expecting women to carry mace and take self-defense classes. Victim blaming is responding to a rape victim by saying she was “asking for it” by getting too drunk, wearing a short skirt, or walking around at night by herself. Victim blaming is asking women to wear a certain kind of nail polish and swish her finger in every drink to prevent her from being drugged and raped.

Just like self-defense classes and mace, the new roofie-detecting nail polish was probably created with good intentions. That doesn’t make it the answer to preventing rape. Dismantling the culture of victim-blaming and educating men not to rape is.

The best places for quali-tea in Honolulu DANIELLA REYES STAFF WRITER

Prepare for trouble and make it bubble. Bubble tea (boba), has been in the islands for many years and shows no sign of slowing down. New bubble drink places are popping up everywhere.

Bubble drinks all feature boba, or tapioca pearls, and can range from fresh fruit smoothies to Taiwanese-style milk tea. Here’s a quick guide to the best bubble tea around Honolulu, perfect for the University of Hawai‘i student on the go.

MOST CONVENIENT

BEST VALUE

SHAKA SHAKA TEA EXPRESS

TASTE TEA

HANG’S FRENCH CAFÉ AND SMOOTHIE

DRAGON TEA

Shaka Shaka Tea Express just opened a new location in Puck’s Alley, right next door to Nijiya Market and Curry House.

Shaka Shaka Tea Express is only a few minutes away from main campus, and claims to use no powders, preservatives or fake sweeteners in its drinks. The menu ranges from coconut milk smoothies and piña coladas, to milk tea in all its varieties. They even give you boba at no extra charge.

Taste Tea is located just outside of Ala Moana, so it’s accessible by bus. It has a wide variety of milk teas and regular teas, as well as a large space for studying or hanging out with friends.

A medium milk tea goes for about $3-4. You’re also allowed to sample your drink before receiving it so that if you’re not fond of it, you can change your order.

Hang’s is located along Fort Street Mall and uses fresh fruit for most of its smoothies. The menu states clearly whether a smoothie is made with fresh fruit or with powder, so be sure to order the correct one. You can get creative with your drinks – why get a strawberry smoothie when you can get an avocado banana smoothie, or even a more unique smoothie with jackfruit, durian, lychee or soursop? The smoothies are also cheap, coming in at just under $4.

Dragon Tea allows you to select your sweetness and ice level, and encourages you to taste your drink beforehand. The boba is freshly made each morning so its texture is consistently good. The menu features no powders and its milk tea is said to be very authentic in the Taiwanese style. If you’re in the mood for fresh fruit smoothies, Dragon Tea got that as well.

MR. TEA CAFÉ

There’s nothing more convenient than a bubble drink place right on campus, where you can use your meal plan to pay. However, it only has Thai iced tea and iced coffee available.

Thanh’s uses fresh fruit and gives you a good amount of smoothie for what you pay, although their boba can be inconsistent – undercooked and hard at times or soft and mushy at others.

Located in Ala Moana, smoothies here are slightly more expensive at $5 and up. However, its smoothies are on the larger side and there’s a wide variety of fresh fruit available.

Drinks are inexpensive, and the café sells macaroons. Great for a quick tea break, but nothing outstanding.

Glass sculptor fires up UH Mānoa UH alumnus returns to share knowledge of kiln cast glass sculpting

DANA BREWER / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

A UH MFA alumnus Abildgaard returned 31 years later to teach glass sculpting techniques to current students.

TORI TOKUNAGA STAFF WRITER

“There’s always somebody working,” Mark Abildgaard said, referencing the board that students use to sign up in order to use the furnace.

To our left were students twirling and shaping rods of liquid molten glass. Abildgaard had been one of these students, using the same furnace he had helped build in 1983 during the four years he was here as a Master of Fine Arts student. Thirty-one years later, he came back to the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa from Oct. 6-10 to share new techniques and ideas with glassblowing students.

Mānoa. But then a visiting professor from UH told him about the new art building at the time.

“The facility was really great and as a graduate student, you get your own studio,” Abildgaard said.

This was important to him because there was such limited space to work on the mainland.

When he made the transfer to UH Mānoa, Abildgaard had to take Polynesian Art History to fulfill credits he could not earn in San Diego. “[San Diego] didn’t even have those [Polynesian] classes available; they taught western art,” Abildgaard said. “When I went through all those classes, it added extra time to my degree, but it was very important to see the differ-

“I think one of the most important things I can do is to come back to the university and give my time to share what I’ve learned for new students to have that advantage” – MARK ABILDGAARD

Starting off his education at San Diego State University, Abildgaard was an undeclared student. He explored sciences like geology and other subjects, but nothing captured him like the fine arts. [“I just kept coming back to the field of fine art because there were no rules,”] Abildgaard said. “It was open to personal interpretation and exploration, [unlike] a lot of the other disciplines [that had] set structures and guidelines.”

From this point, Mark never thought he would end up at UH

ent forms of artwork that were out there. So I started working with boat imagery and ideas of ancestors that have passed on and how you might represent that concept.

It influenced me later on.”

Abildgaard’s glass boat images display figures on top of a boatshaped piece.

“They are ... very simplified figures that represent people that have gone before me,” Abildgaard said. “As you get older, there’s a lot of people that you know that aren’t here anymore and how

those people influenced me.

Even though they aren’t physically here, there’s still a presence that I am trying to represent in an abstract way.”

His largest boat image piece weighed up to 200 pounds, which he said is the biggest he would like to go.

A lot has happened for Abildgaard and UH Mānoa between the 31 years of his graduation and his return. Returning as a guest artist, he got the chance to “show [the students] another way to work with glass” by casting it and making molds.

“I think one of the most important things I can do is to come back to the university and give my time to share what I’ve learned for new students to have that advantage,” Abildgaard said. In his day, there was no internet, nor tricks or developed techniques. “It was all trial and error.”

Abildgaard said that despite the tools of modern technology, “you still have to get in here and do the hard work. That part’s the same. It’s like anything you want to learn. Whether it’s practicing a musical instrument or learning to play the piano, you can’t just sit down and start playing. You need to put in the time.”

Aside from making glass sculptures, Abildgaard also teaches art classes at public schools in his district.

“I did spend quite a lot of time working in elementary schools because that’s the time when kids are sort of stepping out of themselves and trying different things as an individual,” Abildgaard said.

Abildgaard encourages the cre-

Kiln cast glass sculpting is when a mould is made to shape the glass into complete shapes.

ativity of children and even uses his own materials and kiln to fire up pieces the children make and bring with them back to the school.

As successful as Abildgaard has been over the years, he hasn’t forgotten how his education has contributed to his success. He “continually tips [his] hat” to assistant

professor Rick Mills, who teaches glass sculpting, and the rest of the art department for all that they have done and will accomplish.

UH Mānoa Debate and Forensics Society Debate club creates Pacific hub for dialogue

DANIELLA REYES STAFF WRITER

The recently opened Aloha Loop food truck near Sinclair Library is committed to serving healthy, sustainable and locally grown foods. Their menu consists of sandwiches and salads. They are working with Mala Mānoa Farms for the fresh produce in their dishes.

While I commend this food truck for their devotion to standards, I have to say that I was disappointed by my meal. The caprese salad ($10) consisted of tomatoes, basil, mozzarella and roasted pine nuts. While the salad tasted fine, paying $10 seems excessive for what is a plate lunch salad that I could make myself.

The California BLT ($8) sandwich was worse. Made of yogurt cheese, applewood bacon, avocado, lettuce and tomatoes, the only thing that stood out about it was how unsatisfying it was. Sourdough is a hard bread to work with because of its strong flavor, and the yogurt cheese only contributed to the overall sourness of the sandwich. Instead of being blown away by the freshness and quality of the ingredients, I was distracted by how tart it was. If you like your sandwiches tasting like unflavored Greek yogurt, this is the food truck for you.

I’d rather go to a place that doesn’t sacrifice taste for healthiness.

HARRISON PATINO / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

The debate society is not only a gathering place for VHS intellectual discussion, but for teams all over the Pacific.

HARRISON PATINO CONTRIBUTING WRITER

You might be suprised to learn that George Hall’s room 213 is the meeting place to discuss the most pressing current events of the day. It might be surprising to learn that this classroom is the meeting place for the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s Debate and Forensics Society.

“A pretty crazy ride,” is how third-year graduate student and newcomer to the club, Luke Hutchinson said.

As a team of dedicated debaters, the club has refused to let its sheer distance from the mainland hinder its competitive spirit.

The team has frequent bouts with Claremont and Hawai‘ i Pacific University’s (HOU) debate teams.

They have, and will, compete in the National Speech and Debate Association and the World Universities Debating Championships.

Thanks to the club’s persistent efforts in collegiate debate culture, UH Mānoa, in cooperation with HPU, is the seat of the Pan-Pacific

“It’s one of the few activities that can really test yourself intellectually - where you can really learn about yourself.”

– LUKE HUTCHINSON GRADUATE STUDENT / NEW CLUB MEMBER

Championship – a debate tournament that brings together the best and brightest in intelligent conversation half the world over.

Bringing together schools from Alaska, California, the East Coast and, as Hutchinson puts it, “all over.” The tournament most recently drew academic powerhouses Stanford University and Loyola Marymount University to discuss topics ranging from indigenous affairs and drone strikes to abortion and sex scandals.

A PACIFIC HUB FOR DEBATE

Even though these seasoned debaters are no strangers to travel for the sake of a good argument, the Debate and Forensics Society also acts as a host for intelligent debate for people all over the Pacific.

“I’ve made a lot of good friends,” Samira Fatemi, current team captain, said.

Following an interest in debate

A CLOSE-KNIT COMMUNITY

While still providing students with a challenging platform to hone their debating skills, the club has proven to be a place of community and friendship.

in high school, Fatemi joined the Debate and Forensics Society in 2011 and has since watched the club become more than just a gathering of bright minds.

‘A HIGHER PURPOSE’

With debates ranging from the pros and cons of going vegan to the pressing subject of U.S. foreign policy, the Debate and Forensics Society is offering more than just an opportunity to argue. “[Debating on important topics] makes you a better citizen,” Fatemi said. “It makes you more informed.

It helps you actually understand what’s going on in the world around you.”

Hutchinson agreed, saying that “ it’s one of the few activities that

can really test yourself intellectually – where you can really learn about yourself.”

Bringing up the team’s publicized debate at Shidler College of Business on the state senate’s recent consideration of freezing tuition last year, Hutchinson spoke of the more noble aspirations of the club, saying that “ it’s our way of doing a public service, of really bringing the debate to the public [and] to the students.”

In a world facing no shortage of controversial subject matter and ever-changing political and social climate, the Debate and Forensics Society will have its hands full in the coming years of competition.

And yet, at its core the club is still just, as Fatemi happily puts it, “a fun time [with] a lovely bunch of people.”

Outlast

The night air is beginning to cool, costumes fill department store windows, packages of candy are overflowing aisles. With Halloween just around the corner, it’s time to get into the ghoulish spirit. While a scary movie marathon may seem to be the ideal choice leading up to All Hallows’ Eve, some individuals are looking for a more immersive experience. This is where horror video games shine.

Below is a list of some of the most terrifying games to be released within the last five years. Just remember to have a buddy nearby, as these titles are frightening.

Perhaps the most popular title on the list, “Slender” pits players against the mysterious and terrifying Slenderman.

Players are equipped with only a flashlight to help maneuver through a pitch-black forest on a quest to collect eight pages scattered across the map. Once a page is collected, the terror begins as Slenderman begins to stalk you. Try to avoid his emotionless stare, for it will be the last thing you will ever see ... until you boot the game up again.

Dying Light

“Alien: Isolation” will have sci-fi and horror fans alike hiding their faces behind their blankets. Focusing on franchise character, Amanda Ripley, the game takes place in space, following her as she uncovers the mystery of an abandoned ship. We learn early on that she isn’t alone. Throughout the game, the Alien stalks her in one of the most frightening film-to-game adaptations. The Survival mode offers more of a challenge, as well as screams, as the monstrous alien hunts you down for its next meal.

Amnesia: Dark Descent CONSOLE: PC PERSPECTIVE: FIRST-PERSON

CONSOLE: PC (AVAILABLE JANUARY ON PS4 AND XBOX ONE) PERSPECTIVE: FIRST-PERSON

Have you ever wanted to be a world-class parkour athlete in the midst of a zombie apocalypse?

Thanks to developer Techland and Warner Bros., you can now live that dream, or nightmare, with “Dying Light.” The gameplay matches the parkour elements of “Mirror’s Edge,” so fans of the game should check this zombie survival game out.

With Oculus Rift integration implemented into the first-person survival horror title, “Dying Light” may be one of the most immersive horror games to date.

Never ending Nightmares

CONSOLE: PC PERSPECTIVE: FIRST-PERSON

While the sequel “Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs” was released last year, the original game is regarded as the better title. The protagonist Daniel is awake in a gargantuan mansion, having no recollection of how he got there. Not only does he experience amnesia, as the title implies, but the mansion is filled with puzzles and objectives that become more difficult as the monstrous inhabitants of the mansion begin to hunt.

SOURCE: FRICTIONAL GAMES 

“Outlast” has players taking control of an investigative journalist as they uncover a sinister plot in a psychiatric hospital. As Miles Upshur, players will explore a dilapidated facility with only a night vision camera to light the way. “Outlast” has been scaring gamers for the past year, but its popularity still hasn’t gone down. Full of demented scientists, mutilated test subjects and other terrifying patients, “Outlast” will be a reason to keep the light on at night, wincing every time you turn a corner.

CONSOLE: PC PERSPECTIVE: FIRST-PERSON

Slender

Although the game isn’t finished, it is still playable via Steam. The game begins on a plane plummeting towards earth. Upon crashing, players find themselves in a forsaken forest filled with a tribe of disturbing humanoid beings. This survival horror will not only test your durability in the wilderness, but also your ability to fight fear and keep your hands on the keyboard.

THE BYTE

As another Indie game on the list, “Never ending Nightmares” will give a new experience with its magnificently unique visuals that resemble drawings from a ballpoint sketchbook. This psychological horror game throws players into a character’s battle with inner demons and hallucinations as he explores a haunting estate with frights around every corner.

OCULUS RIFT IKAIKA SHIVELEY ASSOCIATE FEATURES EDITOR

Alas, the future of gaming is here. Virtual reality has always been the striving point for developers and gamers alike, and is expected to catapult gaming into the new millennium. Several companies have been experimenting with virtual reality, but with the help of a successful Kickstarter campaign, the Oculus Rift stands out from the rest of the virtual reality competition.

The headpiece of the Oculus resembles snowboarding goggles, with foam-like borders that fit comfortably on the face. This head piece is connected to a box which is then synced with a computer.

Having LED tracking, the Oculus is able to mimic 360-degree motion when users move their heads. Oculus also packs a high resolution screen that many other virtual reality kits lack. Although the Oculus has countless possibilities, it isn’t perfect. The cord it has can get in the way of things and limits mobility. As the name gets more popular to public, we may see updates that would fix this issue.

As of now, there are several demos that let you test the Oculus, as well as a few bigger game titles.

Horror games have become the leading genre in released games, as the Oculus can exploit the terror of a game by throwing gamers into the world. With a growing interest, high-profile game developers are starting to invest in the Oculus Rift, meaning we may eventually get leading titles playable on the Oculus Rift.

If you want to get your hands on it, you can pre-order the development kit for $350. This allows you to test several demos and playable titles, while also giving you the opportunity to develop your own game. It is rumored that a consumer version will be available spring 2015.

While the price is high, this immersive experience could lead us into the future of gaming and electronic entertainment.

Exclusive interview with ‘Fury’ military adviser SAMMI BAUMGARTNER STAFF WRITER

Although “Fury” may seem like a run-of-the-mill WWII movie packed with action and explosives, David Rae, one of the military advisers for the film, begs to differ.

Before serving as an adviser for “Fury,” Rae joined the British Army in 1991, which led to his tour of duty in Iraq in 2005 and becoming a regimental sergeant major during his last two years of duty.

With an exceptional amount of experience under his belt, there seemed to be no wiser choice during the production stages of “Fury. “ “A former colleague of mine who was captain in my regiment started this company called Soldier in Blue which basically provides military extras in films,” Rae said in a phone interview. “He gave me a call.”

During his first month, Rae and three others – two Navy Seals and another adviser – trained the cast, including Brad Pitt, Shia LaBeouf, Logan Lerman, Michael Peña and Scott Eastwood. Training was intended to bond the entire cast and give the five men the same mindset. The bonding worked, according to Rae. “I don’t know how much these guys worked together prior or worked together at all,” Rae said.

“They were broken down and built up as a team. It morphed into a tank crew on film. It sounds strange to say but it was good to see, it helped the director a lot to keep the cast close-knit.”

So how were these actors broken

down? For two weeks, the actors underwent technical drills, which led into the month-long boot camp.

Cell phones were not allowed, rations were consumed three times a day, there was PT in the morning, and all of this took place in dark woods where it was wet and cold.

Rae’s expectations were big and he thought the actors wouldn’t be able to stand up to them, but all five men proved him wrong.

“Not only did they take up everything in terms of training,” Rae said.

“But they wanted more from us, always asking for more.”

Pitt, 50, is scripted to be the leader amongst his comrades as “Wardaddy,” and his leadership skills really showed during the boot camp. Despite being the “older guy,” he pushed himself, according to Rae. Rae also mentions that his team knew that the cast was tired, wet and cold, yet they kept going – one of the reasons why “Fury” has a leg up on other war movies.

“Not to disrespect any WWII movies,” Rae said. “The directors obviously created detail; it was spot on, the clothing, the uniforms, there is a lot of historical facts that happened over the course of the war put in there. It gives more human side. Movies today haven’t really shown that war isn’t always romantic. The directors really stepped back and went a little deeper into what war is about – very authentic; you’ll see some great acting.”

“Fury” opened so you can see the work and judge for yourself.

‘Fury’ falls just short of perfection

SOURCE: DAVID RAE 

Brad Pitt plays the role of Don Collier, the man in charge of the crew depicted above.

NICK HUTH SPORTS EDITOR

The latest in a long line of World War II films, “Fury” features a grizzly group of soldiers, a wide-eyed rookie and Nazis doing terrible things. But despite the presence of standard war clichés, the film’s cast and powerful pacing lead to an enjoyable experience that falls just short of its target.

While World War II wound down, the story of a ragtag group of soldiers simultaneously heated up as they drove deeper into the heart of Nazi Germany. Set near the end of the war, soldiers are tired, injured and emotionally scarred. Director David Ayer showcases this by highlighting the effects of war throughout the film – whether it be as subtle as the silence shared among comrades-in-arms or as intense as children both killing and being killed.

On that note, the film does not shy away from the brutality that occurred during World War II. Combat is graphic and self-aware as visceral moments are often highlighted by the cinematography – which might cause some viewers to instinctually turn away.

Many of the gruesome moments are caused by the tank crew of “Fury,” also the name of the Sherman tank that the American soldiers drive around the German countryside. Don Collier (Brad Pitt) acts as the sergeant in charge of the war-torn bunch of soldiers.

The crew is later joined by Norman Ellison (Logan Lerman), a young typist that has yet to see the fierce lifestyle that other soldiers see everyday.

Joining the ex-clerk is religious sharpshooter Boyd Swan (Shia LaBeouf), whose faith is matched only by his ability to fire a cannon in a way that causes as much destruction as possible. Grady Travis (Jon Bernthal) and Trini Garcia (Michael Peña) act as comedic relief while serving valuable roles in the crew as the mechanic and driver.

Nobody on the crew, including Collier, is a role model – which makes the depiction of the wartorn group of soldiers believable.

They’re bullies, hypocrites and cowards, but they deal with their weaknesses in their own ways, while remaining loyal to each other.

The film’s strength is also its greatest shortcoming. None of the characters during the film set themselves apart from their archetypes. The rookie, the hero and the foul-mouthed mechanic all fit within the expectations of a standard war film. Although disappointing, the average characters do not detract from the film and allow the strength of the acting to shine through.

All roles are performed with surprising depth, with each soldier showcasing what makes each of them both human and inhuman. Especially interesting is Pitt’s character, also known as ‘Wardaddy,’ who has led the crew since the beginning of the war in North Africa.

Pitt’s performance is wellrounded and powerful – acting as both a disciplined war hero and a father figure for his crew – all while showing his own mental fatigue from the long war. The young Norman Ellison also steals the show, as the rookie makes the transition to

manhood by learning from the crew in his own way.

Although filmed well, the tank combat isn’t as interesting as infantry combat. Director Ayer should be commended for tackling the challenges of the historically dry tank warfare. Although some of the sequences get hazy, the film finds success by highlighting the individuals and the cramped pressure of those within the tank during the skirmishes.

The plot serves as just enough motivation to understand and embrace the well-acted characters, and although not a strong point on its own, the pacing of the film makes the story feel seamless.

The greatest triumph of “Fury” comes in its depiction of war and the soldiers that fight in it. The slight hiccups are overshadowed by the character development and camaraderie that drives the story forward into a complete experience that should find itself compared to other all-time great war films.

Grounded and pounded San Diego State runs over Hawai‘i SHANE GRACE / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

The homecoming game promises to break the trend of gradually receding attendance numbers since the home opener.

More at stake than the traditional homecoming DENNIS PALMA CASTILLO STAFF WRITER

With a conference opening win against rival Wyoming in Week 7 of their season, the stage is set for the Rainbow Warriors to establish their identity in the Mountain West Conference.

Hawai‘ i will be facing Nevada, which hopes to avenge its own homecoming after Boise State spoiled it in a 51-46 shootout in the beginning of October.

After its 20-10 loss to the San Diego State Aztecs, Hawai‘i will attempt to regain its footing in the conference against the Wolf Pack on Oct. 25.

Though they are 4-2 in homecoming games since 2008, Hawai‘i football has struggled under head coach Norm Chow. Hawai‘i’s two homecoming losses have come consecutively in the last two seasons, Chow’s first two seasons as head coach of Hawai‘i. Before Chow’s tenure, Hawai‘i won 4 consecutive homecoming games from 2008-11.

were still part of the Western Athletic Conference (WAC).

“Homecoming next week is a big deal because it’s here and we have to represent for our fans and do well in conference,” senior defensive lineman Beau Yap said. “It’s a rival from way back in the WAC so it’s gonna be a great game.”

The two teams first met in 2000 when Hawai‘i beat Nevada at Aloha Stadium, 37-17. Nevada would respond at home the next year with a win against Hawai‘i, 28-20. Each team would answer back for the next three years trading wins and losses until 2005.

During the 2011-12 season, which was the inaugural season for both teams in the MWC, Nevada beat Hawai‘i, 69-24.

The rivalry looks to continue its balance this year as Hawai‘i and Nevada have been averaging 23 points per game and 28 points per game this season respectively.

The Warriors are 7-7 against the Wolf Pack going into Saturday’s homecoming game.

REPRESENTING MORE THAN HAWAI‘I

RIVALS FOR A DECADE

Hawai‘ i has yet to beat Nevada since they both joined the Mountain West Conference (MWC) during the 2011-12 season.

Nevada is on a three-game winning streak against Hawai‘i entering their Week 9 matchup at Aloha Stadium. During that streak, the Wolf Pack has beaten them by a combined score of 142-61 for an average margin of victory of over 20 points.

Hawai‘ i’s last win against Nevada came in 2010 when Hawai‘ i won 27-21. The matchup between the Wolf Pack and the Warriors is a rivalry that can be traced back to when both schools

Traditionally, homecomings are glorified with celebrations of the football program. But there are no festivity plans for the Rainbow Warriors. This year’s homecoming game against Nevada is about winning and establishing themselves as contenders in the MWC. “We want to get two wins in a row,” senior defensive lineman Moses Samia said before the game against San Diego State. “It’s conference play we’re more worried about, homecoming is still important for the fans but we want to win two [games] in a row. It’s mostly business.”

Hawai‘i is geographically unique

for football fans because the closest professional football team is the San Francisco 49ers, over 2,000 miles away.

Players from Hawai‘ i understand the significance of UH football as their home state’s team.

“Besides playing for our team and family, we do play for the fans and the whole state of Hawai‘ i,” Yap explained. “We represent all of Polynesia, Australia, you name it because we have everybody from all around the world here and we represent them.”

With players like Scott Harding, born and raised in Australia, TJ Taimatuia, Joey Iosefa, Jamie Tago and Penitito Faalologo, who all hail from American Samoa, it’s evident that Hawai‘ i football is a team that represents not only Hawai‘ i, but Oceania as well.

DAVID MCCRACKEN SENIOR STAFF WRITER

The University of Hawai‘ i Rainbow Warriors tied the lowest amount of points scored by its offense all season and the lowest amount of points scored in a single game since 2013 this past Saturday night in a loss to the Aztecs of San Diego State by a score of 20-10.

INABILITY TO RUN

The Warriors (2-5, 1-1) have averaged 151.7 yards rushing per game this season, but ran for a season low of 90 yards as a team Saturday night in San Diego. Running back Steven Lakalaka, who was questionable coming into Saturday’s game against the Aztecs (4-3, 3-1), after suffering a concussion in the team’s victory over Wyoming, led the Warriors in rushing with 58 yards on 16 carries.

Lakalaka averaged 3.6 yards per carry against the Aztecs, falling short of his 4.0 average he had posted throughout the season.

Furthermore, Lakalaka has failed to surpass the 76 yards rushing mark in a game against Mountain West opposition totaling 134 yards combined in his past two outings against Wyoming and San Diego State. On 38 carries against conference defenses, Lakalaka has averaged just 3.5 yards per carry.

Lakalaka, Diocemy Saint Juste and quarterback Ikaika Woolsey ran the ball for a combined 25 carries against the Aztecs. This marked the lowest amount of rushing attempts in a game all season for the Warriors, and the lowest amount in a game since Nov. 2, 2013.

‘JUSTE’ WHAT THEY NEED

The only bright spot in the rushing attack was sophomore running back Diocemy Saint Juste, who carried the rock six times for 32 yards against the Aztecs for a 5.3 yards per carry average.

Coming fresh off of a career performance against Wyoming where he ran for 135 yards, Saint Juste has run for 167 yards against Mountain West opposition on 23 carries for a

7.2 yards per carry average in two games. Despite his success against Wyoming and SDSU, the sophomore was only allowed six carries for the game as Chow went with the more proven Lakalaka.

PUMPHREY PROVES HIS WORTH

The Warriors defense knew all about San Diego State running back Donnel Pumphrey going into Saturday’s game, but could do nothing to stop him. Pumphrey finished the game with 182 yards on 25 carries for a 7.3 yards per carry average.

The real story is that he ran for 118 of his yards in the fourth quarter against a visibly fatigued Warrior defense that was on the field for over 36 minutes, Pumphrey has now eclipsed the 1,000 yard rushing mark at the halfway point of the season and has become just the sixth running back in the entire FBS to gain over 1,000 rushing yards so far this year.

DEFENSE COMES UP SHORT

The Warrior defense has been stout in the first year under defensive coordinator Kevin Clune, but had its worst game defending the run since Clune took over. Ranked fourth in the Mountain West in rushing yards allowed per game before their matchup against the Aztecs, the Warriors defense surrendered 283 yards on the ground to San Diego State; more than double their average of 125.8 yards allowed per game.

UH’s defense did make its first defensive stop in the red zone this season when Aztecs kicker Donald Hageman missed a 31 yard field goal, but wasn’t able to stop the Aztecs on third down like it had done against other opponents this season tying a season high total of six first downs in a single game.

Hawai‘ i set a new school record with its 16th straight road loss Saturday night, breaking its previous mark of 15 straight road losses from 1995-1999. The Warriors have not won a road game under head coach Norm Chow, recording their last victory on the road on Oct. 29, 2011 against Idaho.

ANDREW SWITAJ STAFF WRITER

“Mintonette” is a game that everyone is familiar with in Hawai‘i, but may not realize.

In 1895 at the YMCA in Holyoke, Massachusetts, William G. Morgan invented the game called “Mintonette,” which was eventually named volleyball. The game has obviously changed from the time of its invention, and from the changes, the game has evolved to a point where it may be unrecognizable to Morgan.

Despite the changes that have occurred over the years there are still a few things that remain constant in the sport of volleyball. In practice, head coach Dave Shoji makes sure that the women’s volleyball team undergoes constant sharpening of their skills.

“The only thing we can do is constant repetitions,” Taylor Higgins said in regards to improving their game.

Shockingly enough, “Mintonette” was originally created for unathletic, elderly businessmen who would demand less physical contact than basketball, which was also being invented at the same time. The new sport combined elements of basketball, baseball, tennis and handball. During a

demonstration it appeared that the ball was being volleyed across the net and the sport was given a new name, volleyball.

The idea of seeing modern day players volleying the ball across the net is something that would be almost unbelievable as the game evolved into a more offensive style with the dig and spike. With the incorporation of the new rules, the sport began to take shape into its present state.

In the past two decades the sport has changed. From 1998, volleyball entered a new era of scoring, the rally point system. The new system meant that teams scored a point on

From the court, the most obvious changes to the sport of volleyball has been the rules, whether it has been on the indoor court or on the beach. However what many people fail to realize is the precautions that all sports incorporate with regard to player safety.

The Wahine have experienced some setbacks this year with the number of injuries that the team has sustained. But the safety of the players is one of the utmost important concerns of the volleyball coaching staff. Shoji understands the importance of having enough recovery time, and rehabilitation.

Another obvious change to the

Furthermore in 1996, the libero position was introduced giving an extra dimension to the backcourt defense, improving the length of rallies. The position also gave way to incorporate players who were not of a tall stature.

sport is the physical capabilities of the players. As a setter, Higgins has witnessed the change in volleyball even within her short career.

Although the sport can be played with leisure, it reaches new heights at the collegiate level.

“The tempo is a lot faster,” Higgins said. “[There’s] definitely a lot

1920: Rules were adjusted to limit teams to just three hits per side.

more athleticism with the hitters.”

The athleticism of players is constantly being challenged by coaches, and Shoji and his staff are no exception. From the use of technology, the capability for athletes to continue push the bar has constantly been improving.

For instance the involvement of a radar gun at practice to measure the speeds of serves in volleyball has caused the team to constantly be striving for a faster serve.

Volleyball is also analyzed to the point where coaching staffs have the ability to improve the technique of players on a minuscule level.

“I didn’t really get a lot of the technical things that I gets now so that helps me and what I’m doing,” Higgins said in regards to how the coaching styles have affected her over the years.

In a sport that is played with a high possibility for errors, many programs have incorporated technology that makes the window of error smaller. For the Wahine, they have target nets that would lessen the room for mistakes, according to Higgins.

The sport of volleyball has changed from the envisioned recreation sport that Morgan had intended it to be, but these changes have helped to create the sport the Rainbow Wahine love.

1937: The U.S. Volleyball Association was recognized as the National Governing Body for the sport.

1949: The first ever World Championships were held in Prague, Czechoslovakia.

1964: Volleyball is introduced as an Olympic Sport.

1975: Dave Shoji takes over as head coach of the Rainbow Wahine Volleyball team.

1979: Hawai‘ i women’s volleyball wins fourth NCAA National Championship.

1984: The U.S. wins its first medal in volleyball.

1987: Rainbow Wahine volleyball wins fourth National Championship.

1996: The Olympics added two-person volleyball as a sport.

Nick Huth Sports Editor THE CURSE OF FAME

SHANE GRACE / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

Senior running back Joey Iosefa started the season as Co-captain before the title was stripped from him last week.

BLAKE'S TAKE

Guilty until proven guilty Why fans and organizations need to rethink how athletes are punished BLAKE TOLETINO WEB SPECIALIST

The idea that athletes can get away with unscrupulous behavior due to their status is one that constantly works its way into the consciousness of sports fans.

There was OJ Simpson’s circus trial and subsequent exploitation of the case with his infamous book, “If I Did It.” Then there was Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice and his admittance into a pretrial intervention program that allowed him to avoid any legal repercussions – there are many examples where athletes seem to benefit from their status as public figures to dodge penalties.

While there are certainly controversial cases, athletes receive extra-legal punishment for their

transgressions. Whether they receive leniency in the courts is debatable, but many teams and organizations will punish players themselves, from fines to suspensions.

Last week, University of Hawai‘i running back Joey Iosefa was arrested for driving under the influence. In reaction to the arrest, UH promptly stripped the senior running back of his captain status before suspending him for three games. This follows a precedent set by Chow with past DUI cases on the team.

As with similar cases, there has been debate amongst fans on what kind of punishment Iosefa should receive in light of his arrest. Some have suggested that he should get off easy, citing that his importance to the team overrides his conduct, and that suspension is a minor punishment to a college athlete

who has already received the benefits of a scholarship.

Others suggested that Iosefa should be removed from the team.

In all cases, however, some punishment was expected to be meted out well before his court date on Nov. 10.

One question that hasn’t been asked is whether UH should be punishing him at all.

WASTED OPPORTUNITY

As a benchmark of the American legal system, when someone has a run-in with the law, that person is considered innocent until proven guilty. It is also unlikely that the person would lose his or her job over a misdemeanor.

case that serves as a cautionary tale for athletes who draw the ire of the law.

In June 2012, Hawai‘ i linebacker Alema Tachibana was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence, similar to Iosefa’s situation. He was suspended from the team indefinitely. Tachibana chose to fight the case.

While involved in his legal battle, Tachibana remained suspended by Chow until he resolved the case. By the time the case was dismissed, Tachibana had missed 10 games out of the 12-game season, having been effectively suspended for no crime. While Tachibana had

We should remember that they are normal people with normal flaws. Expectations for them should be no different than the expectations of peers.

Unfortunately for the athlete, suspensions such as Iosefa’s presume guilt, with no form of compensation upon acquittal. Should Iosefa be exonerated, his record will be cleared, but he will not get those three lost games back. He will have been punished for no crime.

While it is not likely that Iosefa will escape his legal battle unscathed based on the publicly available information regarding his arrest, there has been a recent

managed to clear his name, he still had lost almost a full season to his suspension, with no possible compensation.

Iosefa’s case will likely have a cleaner ending. With his threegame suspension having already been announced, Iosefa does not appear to be fighting the charges.

That, however, does not change the fact that Iosefa, like Tachibana, was judged and punished immediately without recourse.

Of course, the real reason that Iosefa was punished so quickly had little to do with Norm Chow’s indignation at the incident or any sense of moral duty by the administration.

The real reason why Chow reacts so quickly to such events, as so many others around the nation in similar positions do, is damage control.

Having a real or perceived criminal playing for your team is a public relations mess. That the justice system is already handling the incident often means little to the fans and sponsors who pay the bills.

Even in situations where no crime is committed, blunders by the players reflect poorly on the organization, which can have financial consequences. As public figures, every move they make is magnified, even in small markets such as Hawai‘i.

The NFL didn’t indefinitely suspend running back Ray Rice because it was disgusted by his abuse towards his wife. It tried to soften the blow, minimizing the punishment and giving Rice a second chance after the case ended favorably for Rice.

Had the public never seen the video, Rice would be playing now. It was only after the damning evidence became public that the league overreacted, at least according to their new rules mandating a six-game suspension for first offenders, in an effort to save face and protect its lucrative business deals. It was a prescient move considering how quickly sponsors bailed on the Minnesota Vikings after they attempted to reinstate Adrian Peterson following the surfacing of his own domestic abuse case.

Athletes, for better or worse, are celebrities. As public figures, every move they make is scrutinized.

They are seen as a separate group of people, with different lives than our own. When they fail, the sports world demands that they be punished, if only because they put their faith in them.

This is not fair to the athletes, much less student-athletes playing for the love of the game and an education. Fans are often disconnected from the spectacle on the field.

Yes, they are there for our entertainment. We should remember that they are normal people with normal flaws. Expectations for them should be no different than the expectations of peers. All too often, fans are happy to denigrate players for alleged misdeeds and coaches are all too happy to feed the cycle with hasty punishments to placate the fans desire for justice.

Perhaps, fans should offer the athletes the same luxury that is afforded to common people, and not presume guilt upon the first sign of trouble. Then maybe coaches wouldn’t have to punish guilty and innocent alike just to maintain the illusion that athletes are superior human beings.

SHANE GRACE / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

After Steven Lakalaka’s injury, Diocemy Saint Juste ran for 135 yards to help secure the victory over Wyoming.

Running Dry How injuries and Iosefa’s suspension has affected the running back position for Hawai‘i JEREMY NITTA SENIOR STAFF WRITER

With a trio of running backs returning from last year, the position looked like an area of strength for the Rainbow Warriors football team.

After missing most of last season with an injury, senior Joey Iosefa finished 2013 with a bang, rushing for at least 90 yards in each of the final four games of the season, including a 191-yard effort against Navy.

Sophomore Steven Lakalaka, who had gotten valuable experience filling in for the injured Iosefa, reported to camp in excellent shape, and was noticeably quicker in practice. Hawai‘i also returned speedy sophomore Diocemy Saint Juste who was slated to be the team’s featured kick returner.

So far, the ‘Bows have been trying to capitalize on what began as their biggest strength. Hawai‘i is one of the most run-heavy teams in the Mountain West, averaging 41 attempts per game, while ranking eighth in the conference with 151 yards per game, despite the two teams atop the conference, Air Force and New Mexico, running triple-option attacks, or systems that almost exclusively run the ball.

But after three months and six games, the ‘Bows are searching for answers at perhaps the most

important position of head coach Norm Chow’s offense.

Iosefa has again missed most of the season, limited to just two games with an ankle injury. Iosefa’s return has also been halted after being arrested for a DUI, which resulted in a three-game suspension.

Hawai‘i coaches and players refused to comment on Iosefa’s situation.

But in Iosefa’s stead, Lakalaka had been shining, ranking among the conference leaders in rushing, posting a pair of efforts this season that came in at over 120 yards. But Lakalaka was felled by a concussion against Wyoming, and with Hawai‘ i facing a short turnaround flight to play San Diego State, the possibility stood that Hawai‘i would be without its top two backs.

that he would play stands, but the workload he will receive is undetermined. Chow was noncommittal on how much can be expected from the sophomore, but remained optimistic that Hawai‘i will have its workhorse back against the Aztecs.

“We need to get Steven [Lakalaka] healthy,” Chow said. “I think that he’s gonna be healthy by Saturday and I felt that Diocemy [Saint Juste] played very well and it’s something that we were expecting from him. It’s taken awhile, but I also thought that Pareese [Joas] played well and we have to get him more reps. You know, he ran for a big play, but what people have to understand is that he has to block and catch the ball and all the other stuff other than just a running play.”

PREPARING FOR THE WORST

ALL THAT REMAINS

With questions surrounding the position, running back coach Wayne Moses is simply bracing for whatever happens next and answering those questions as they come.

“I don’t know,” Moses said. “Kind of just have to wait and see how it plays out. You don’t know how the game is gonna go, so you really just have to play and see how it all goes.”

Lakalaka participated in practice on Thursday, signaling that he had cleared concussion protocol and would at least make the trip to San Diego State, and the possibility

Regardless of whether Lakalaka is cleared to play against San Diego State, Hawai‘ i will likely turn to Saint Juste and Joas to help shoulder some of the load in its rushing attack. Saint Juste ran for a career-high 135 yards against Wyoming in place of Lakalaka, but has never been asked to carry the load for Hawai‘ i. Joas had a 14-yard run against Wyoming, but that was his first game experience of the season.

Saint Juste, who would likely see the bulk of the carries should Laka-

laka be limited, is hopeful for his opportunity to shine.

“Yeah this is my first real opportunity to showcase my abilities and what I can do while competing to keep my position on this team,” Saint Juste said.

Moses pointed out that Saint Juste and Joas are different styled runners from the more bruising tendencies of Iosefa and Lakalaka, but that the team has no choice but to trust the youngsters.

“Diocemy [Saint Juste] is a faster, quicker guy, Pareese Joas is more of a scat-back kind of guy but he’s got a little power too, so you know, everyone brings different things to the table,” Moses said. “We just have to take them all in and blend them all together to play with each other. [We] have to make it work.”

How the new Warrior defense has found its success KEOLA KALUHIOKALANI STAFF WRITER

Offense wins games, and defense wins championships. Unlike the University of Hawai‘i football programs past, defense has become the forefront of the team.

Record-breaking quarterbacks Timmy Chang and Colt Brennan were among those who played important roles in facilitating the run and shoot offense in Hawai‘i during June Jones’ tenure as head coach. In years past, the offense was key to the Warriors’ success and the defense, in many instances, held it back.

When head coach Norm Chow took charge of the Rainbow Warriors and began to transition towards a more traditional offense, the program entered a rebuilding process. After 3-9 and 1-11 seasons, the team looked to make strides on the field in 2014.

Hawai‘ i shut out the then-No. 25 Washington Huskies in the second half of the season opener and limited the Huskies to just 17 points on the game, faring much better against a ranked opponent than past Hawai‘ i teams.

It was not the offense that set the tempo in the narrow loss, but the defense. UH and its defense was one 91-yard touchdown pass away from holding UW to just 10 points and pulling off what would have been a season-opening upset.

With the arrival of defensive coordinator Kevin Clune and the switch from a 4-3 to a 3-4, the defense is now the strength of the team.

THE 3-4

The terms ‘3-4’ and ‘4-3’ represent the number of defensive lineman and linebackers on the field.

In the 3-4 there are three defensive linemen and four linebackers and in the 4-3, it is the opposite. Advocates for the 4-3 believe in establishing the line of scrimmage by matching up with numbers against the other team’s offensive lineman.

“The 3-4 naturally has a lot of fun things you can do with it,” Clune said. “You can bring pressure from a lot of places and put a multitude of coverages behind it. So it’s a fun defense and a lot of people get to do a lot of different things and I think that’s a good situation for these guys.”

Those who prefer the 3-4 ask a lot of the defensive line. They rely on three players to anchor down the

around so much. I get to play sideline to sideline. It really gets me active,” Gener said. “In a sense, it’s constructed chaos. It may look like it’s a mess out there, but everyone knows what’s going on.”

BY THE NUMBERS

The Warrior defense is averaging less sacks and tackles for loss per game than it did a year ago. Discounting the four times the defense got to the opposing quarterback in each of its games against Rice and Wyoming, then the gap is enlarged to two less sacks per game.

Senior starting defensive end and defensive captain Beau Yap has a theory for how those stats can be worse, while the defense improved.

“We attack the offense. We bring it on third downs and we can tell the quarterback is getting rattled. By the

“In a sense, it’s constructed chaos. It may look like it’s a mess out there, but everyone knows what’s going on.”

– JULIAN GENER STARTING LINEBACKER

line of scrimmage despite being outnumbered. This allows coaches like Clune to put more speed on the field and blitz from any number of positions, which creates problems for opposing offenses. This has made it possible for players, like junior linebacker Julian Gener, to thrive with 33 tackles so far this season.

“My favorite part about the defense is all the disguise and blitzing we do, getting to move

third and fourth quarter he’s letting the ball go really early,” Yap said.

This rattling of the quarterback is represented by quarterback hurries. Looking at QB hurries and sacks as a singular statistic, the 2014 Rainbow Warrior defense is getting to the quarterback almost twice as often.

With the added pressure, the Hawai‘ i defense has become one of the best units in the country in

key areas such as stopping opposing offenses from converting on third down and forcing them to bring out their punt team after just three plays.

The biggest improvement has been that teams are less effective at moving the ball and putting points on the board. The UH defense is a year removed from allowing 11 of its 12 opponents to score 30 points or more in a game. Ten of those same opponents were allowed to move the ball for over 400 yards, six of which put up more than 500 yards.

So far this season, Hawai‘i has only allowed Oregon State that much offensive success. On average, the Rainbow Warriors are holding teams to two touchdowns and more than 100 yards less per game this year.

SECOND HALF

The strongest part of this defense, thus far, has been what it does in the second half. The Warriors are only allowing teams to score one touchdown in the final thirty-minutes of play.

“When we get back [in the locker room] at halftime we talk, we lock kids in, and the kids when they figure out what’s going on, they play with more confidence in the second half. Mentally they’re locked in.”

No matter what the score has been at intermission, UH’s defense comes out and keeps its team in games.

“Coach Clune pretty much calls us out every halftime and we see what we can do in the second half to help out the offense and do what we gotta do to win the game,” Yap said. “He calls us out to keep

the energy up so that instead of us calming down and trying to get going again in the third quarter.

That way we just come out firing.”

ON THE SAME PAGE

When asked why the defense was so effective, every player touched on how active they were on every play and how every player on the field knew their responsibility.

Lance Williams, a junior linebacker shared this exact sentiment.

“Coach Clune gives us a scheme where we can be free,” Williams said. “We can be all over the field.

But the best part is that everybody is on the same page. When everybody is on the same page, the defense runs well and we’ve been successful so far.”

A 25 record is an ill representation of the season the Rainbow Warrior defense is having. Although the offensive scheme is in its third season, this defense is only in its first.

With a 1-1 record in conference play, things seem to be moving in the right direction.

“I throw a million things at them and I hold them them to a high standard. And I think they’ve done a fine job,” Clune said. “Now this evolution of this defense will always be continuing to grow and we still have to continue to grow every step of the way. Just because we did good stuff last week doesn’t mean we’re gonna just show up and expect things to happen this week.”

WEEKLY ROUNDUP

Oct. 12 to Oct. 18

MEN’S TENNIS In the USTA/ITA Regional Championships, the men’s tennis team saw a member reach the Round of 32 last Friday. Nils Schuhmann won both singles matches he played against players from Cal Poly and Grand Canyon respectively to advance in the tournament. Chas Okamoto defeated Nath Eshmade of UC Santa Barbara in the first round, but was forced to withdraw due to an injury – ending his tournament run. Schuhmann lost in the Round of 32 on Saturday to wrap up his tournament.

WOMEN’S SOCCER The Rainbow Wahine soccer team dropped a pair of conference matches last week to give them a 1-4 conference record to start the season. The first loss of the week came on Oct. 12 to Cal Poly in a 2-0 shutout on the road. The Mustangs (7-8, 2-2) scored twice in the first 20 minutes of action and was able to hold their advantage, despite Hawai‘ i trying to answer with 13 shots in the first half.

The second match of the week saw the Wahine return home to face Long Beach State on Oct. 16.

The game saw less action than against Cal Poly, with both teams combining for just 20 shots in the game. The 49ers (6-5-2, 2-1-2) struck first in the 28th minute, and when Hawai‘ i was unable to capitalize on a chance early in the second half, Long Beach State added a second goal to secure the victory. The pair of losses puts UH in danger of missing postseason play. The Wahine have just three matches left in the conference to climb back into the top four spots in the Big West.

MEN’S GOLF The men’s golf team opened its season at the Alister MacKenzie Invitational on Oct. 13-14. The team finished the tournament in 16th place with no Warriors finding themselves in the top 50 participants. Skye Inakoshi led the Warriors with a score of 222 over three rounds. The best round of the tournament came from Scotty Yamashita, who shot a nine-under 62 on the first day of the tournament. Despite his performance on the first day, Yamashita finished the tournament with an 80 and 84 on the final two days to end up in fourth place on the team.

SWIMMING AND DIVING

WOMEN’S TENNIS

The men’s swimming and diving team started its season against California that finished up on Oct. 17. The Bears defeated Hawai‘ i at the dual meet by a score of 159117, with UH winning six of the 16 events. In diving, UH found its main advantage with Amund Gismervik and Eric Klassen finding themselves atop the leaderboard in both events they participated in. To wrap up the trip to California, the team played Stanford and fell 179-106.

Similar to the men’s team, the Rainbow Wahine tennis squad found itself fighting for success in the USTA/ITA Regional Championships. Leading the Wahine last week was No. 8 seed, Cindy Nguyen, who advanced to the quarterfinals. The sophomore standout defeated the No. 9 seed from USC in straight sets in the Round of 16, but eventually fell to the No. 2 seed from Pepperdine in the quarterfinals.
