Carbone resigns as director of UH Cancer Center ALDEN ALAYVILLA AND ALEX BITTER WEB EDITOR AND EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

The head of the University of Hawai‘i Cancer Center has resigned, a UH official confirmed Friday. After five years as director of the center, Dr. Michele Carbone resigned at a Friday afternoon faculty meeting. In a statement released Friday, Carbone said he was leaving the position to focus on his research. “There are cycles in my life,” Carbone said. “Now my focus is on finding a cure for cancer.” Jerris Hedges, dean of the John A. Burns School of Medicine at UH Mānoa, will serve as the center’s interim head. Carbone said of his replacement “the cancer center will be left in good hands for the time being.” UH Mānoa Interim Chancellor Robert Bley-Vroman said in a statement that Carbone’s resignation was effective immediately and was a decision that would allow him to “return to his faculty position and devote time to his research.” Bley-Vroman said Carbone played a “critical role” in building the center and securing it as one of 68 National Cancer Institute-designated centers in the country. Carbone’s full statement reads: “It has been a great privilege to lead the cancer center since December 2008. I am proud of what we have accomplished working together with our faculty, UH leadership, supporters in the community, and with our Consortium partners. “There are cycles in life. Now my focus is on finding a cure for cancer. “I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished in the past 8 years. We have today an excellent cancer center, one of only 68 in the country with an NCI designation, and we have a state of the art research building in which all of us work. “The faculty here is excellent. I think everything is here for this cancer center to become one of the

best in the country. We have to continue to work hard, we need to have the support of the community, and of the Legislature. “Jerris Hedges is a good friend to all of us and a personal friend of mine. I trust the cancer center will be left in good hands for the time being.” Bley-Vroman’s full statement reads: “Dr. Michele Carbone has resigned his position as Director of the UH Cancer Center so that he can return to his faculty position and devote time to his research. I would like to acknowledge the critical role that Dr. Carbone has played in developing the Cancer Center to where it is today one of only 68 NCI-designated cancer centers, with an excellent faculty. We are grateful to Dr. Carbone for his essential leadership that led to the construction of our new Cancer Center building, which is considered one of the most beautiful and functional research buildings in the country, and for establishing a consortium partnership with the Queens Medical Center, Hawai‘i Paciﬁc Health, Kuakini Medical Center, and the John A. Burns School of Medicine in order to improve the delivery of clinical trials to Hawai‘ i cancer patients. “A successful cancer center is essential to the health of the people of Hawai‘i and to the contributions that Hawai‘i can make to the world. “Under Dr. Carbone’s leadership, we have made great progress toward our dream of a world without cancer through research, education, and care, and we are in an excellent position to do even more. “I have asked Jerris Hedges, Dean of the John A. Burns School of Medicine, to assume responsibility as Acting Director of the UH Cancer Center. “I would like to express my personal thanks to Dr. Carbone for his service as Director of the Cancer Center, and to wish him great success as he returns to the faculty.”

Fix UH Mānoa is a group that includes students, faculty and staff that work to improve the quality of the campus.

Faculty, students demand budget reform Group wants new budget model that allocates based on what units bring in NOELLE FUJII NEWS EDITOR

Although teaching assistant positions campus-wide are safe for next semester, a group of students and faculty are still lobbying for the university to use a new budget model. Since its Nov. 17 rally, the group Fix UH Mānoa has been advocating for a budget that would distribute funds based on student enrollment. For three days, the group sat in at the Campus Center courtyard to raise awareness about the campus’ fiscal situation. “We want there to be a dynamic allocation so that if there’s increased teaching, increased enrollment, then the units, the colleges that are having that increased enrollment get an increased amount of funds to increase their costs associated with the increased enrollment,” Bret Polopolus-Meredith, Fix UH Mānoa secretary, said. The group wants the chancellor to meet its demand of a new budget-allocation model by December. “We understand that there’s a budget task force, but their timeline is too slow,” he said, referring to the task force’s goal of recommending a new process for the allocation of general and tuition funds in January. According to Kathy Cutshaw, vice chancellor for administration, budget and operations, the campus is currently spending its reserves – which have gone from $99 million in fiscal year 2011 to $13 million in fiscal year 2014 – as a result of spending more than what it brings in. This school year, the schools were asked to only spend what they were allocated to balance their budgets.

BALANCING THE BUDGET

According to College of Natural Sciences (CNS) Dean William Ditto, based on standard accounting practices, the college expects to run in the black even though it is not reducing teaching assistant positions. Ditto could not be reached by the time of publication to elaborate. Earlier this month, faculty and teaching assistants in the CNS were informed that the number of teaching assistant positions would be reduced for the spring semester, according to Polopolus-Meredith. He said that positions within the Biology department would decrease from about 40 to 25. According to Ditto, cutting teaching assistant positions was only part of a “worst-case scenario” he projected if the college didn’t balance its budget. “It really was just one of the multiple scenarios that we go through all the time,” he said. “It’s how we do budget planning to move forward.” But he said the worst-case scenario for Spring 2015 would be cutting ﬁve to 10 teaching assistant positions throughout the entire college. “Even the worst-case scenario is we were just trying to balance it,” he said. “If we just really had to look at trying to make signiﬁcant cuts and anticipate cuts in the fall and all the rest, the worst case scenarios would have been about that.” The college – which has a budget of approximately $20 million a year, not including the $30 million it brings in from research – employs approximately 150 to 180 teaching assistants, depending on the given semester. A little over $three million dol-

lars a year is allocated for these salaries. The college also generates approximately $20 million a year in tuition alone but receives about $3.5 million. According to Ditto, the college’s fall budget in the fall depends on a variety of factors, for example a new budget allocation model. “That’s really a university discussion.” he said. “We haven’t established our budget for next year.” CONCERN FOR TEACHING ASSISTANTS

On Nov. 19, Chancellor Robert Bley-Vroman issued a statement, reiterating his commitment to preserving campus-wide teaching assistant positions for next semester. “The graduate students have my assurance that none of them is at risk of losing his or her job because of any near-term budget action that has been proposed,” he said. “Likewise, we remain committed to ensuring that core/required course availability will not be negatively impacted by the decisions that are being considered today.” He added that the campus is experiencing real ﬁnancial pressure, but it is working to improve budget transparency with clearer data. Richard Coleman, a teaching assistant for the biology department, thinks that the move of the upper administration is a good one, but it still doesn’t resolve anything for Fall 2015. “Although we were given assurance that there won’t be cuts on the magnitude that was given in the early stages of this current crisis, the actual numbers will remain uncertain until the budget model is selected which will occur in the

next few weeks,” he said in an email interview. He added that there are at least nine marine biology students who did not receive a teaching assistant position. However according to Ditto, that is due to an overenrollment of marine biology students. They are in discussions with the administration to ﬁnd other options. The number of teaching assistants hired is determined by the number needed to cover undergraduate courses, Ditto said. In his college, most of the course demands is in laboratory sections of courses. “We are committed to providing enough seats in lab sections to accommodate all the undergraduates that want to take any of our undergraduate courses,” he said. “At this point, we have hired the number of TA’s needed to meet this

demand. If student demand for a course expands unexpectedly, we will hire additional TA’s to meet that need.” Marguerite Butler, an associate professor in the biology department, also thinks the campus’ budget situation needs to be resolved. “They are still holding units to balancing their budget by the end of next year and so that means that cuts didn’t occur next semester are going to be intensiﬁed the following year,” she said. “It’s just kicking the can down the road.” Butler added that there was a lot of confusion when students with teaching assistant positions and faculty were told the number of teaching assistant positions would be reduced. continued on p.06

Budget committee explores allocation models based on output from page five

“Certain faculty were told they weren’t going to be able to have TA’s, that the students of those faculty were not going to get support and so they just counted how many that would be,” she said. “But it was really like ... just a really every day the situation was changing because no one had any clear direction as to what the bottom line was.” LOOKING INTO BUDGET MODELS

According to Cutshaw, the current budget model is historically based, which means that the new budget is based on the previous year’s budget. “It’s not based on metrics, such as how many student semester hours they teach, it’s not based on how many faculty members they have, it’s not based on any formulaic distribution of funds,” she said. “It’s based simply on history. You had this last year; you get this next year.” Since the campus is currently spending its reserves, a budget committee formed to look at

options for permanent budgeting of the campus’s resources based on output, such as degrees awarded. “It could be based on student semester hours, or it could be based on number of graduate degrees; it could be based on a lot of outputs. That’s being discussed by the committee,” Cutshaw

done them have taken years and years to implement them because they’re complicated,” she said. A POSSIBLE BUDGET MODEL

On Nov. 19, the campus faculty senate approved a resolution encouraging the adoption of a budget model that values trans-

“Cuts [that] didn’t occur next semester are going to be intensiﬁed the following year.” – MARGUERITE BUTLER ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR

said. “And percentage that would go back to the units is what we’re playing with now.” Currently the 14-member committee – consisting of the four vice chancellors, four deans, faculty members and representatives from ASUH and GSO – is looking for an output to use for allocation, but it still has to investigate the models it’s considering before rolling them out. “Other universities that have

parency, accountability, equity and predictability. According to David Chin, chairman for the department of Computer and Information Sciences, the Responsibility Center Management (RCM) model aligns resources with the units that generate them. Chin gave a presentation on the model to the faculty senate at their Nov. 19 meeting. At the University of Florida, which has adopted this model, its different revenues – state gen-

eral funds, tuition revenues, indirect cost recovery and leverage and strategic initiative funds – go into responsibility centers, which can be departments, colleges or schools. According to Chin, the model has multiple versions, including one that goes down to the departmental level and another that goes only to the college or school level. Each responsibility center would receive a large percentage of the revenue it generates, and each center would get to keep leftover funds at the end of the year. The responsibility centers would pay their proportionate share to support the support centers, including areas like student services, academic support and general administration. According to Chin, another aspect is subvention of the model, which is like a tax on revenues that all responsibility centers have to proportionally pay. This would be used to fund strategic initiatives both at the university and college levels. “Our concerns about the level of

allocations right now and the lack of reasoning for those allocations seem to be well addressed by the Responsibility Center Management model,” Polopolus-Meredith said. He also likes that in addition to programs receiving allocations to cover costs, the model gives incentive to improve the programs and increase enrollment. However, there is still concern on how the campus administration will handle a new budget model like the RCM. “So because there’s no actual guidelines or requirements, I don’t have any faith that the current administration will actually implement that kind of model in good faith because it’s too vague,” Butler said. “I am personally in favor of something that tracks costs and rewards positive productivity, but I am afraid that … there’s going to be lip service to saying they’ve adopted it but they’ll just basically just ﬁgure out a way to keep doing what they’ve been doing.” Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

Engineering students create energy efficiency technology Team receives mentoring from local sustainability companies NOELLE FUJII NEWS EDITOR

In an effort to address the state’s need for energy efficiency, a team of engineering students is developing software that monitors and analyzes the energy usage of household appliances. “I think there’s a big growing industry for energy efficiency,” electrical engineering graduate student Andy Pham said. “Especially in Hawai‘ i. You pay electricity bill, but it’s really high price right now. We feel there’s a need for it.” The team, called LoadX, participated in the Pacific Asian Center for Entrepreneurship’s (PACE) Breakthrough Innovation Challenge (BIC) and received a $250 prize. The three-member team had been mentored by two sustainability-related companies – Energy Excelerator, which works with select startup companies looking to solve energy challenges in the state, and Ulupono initiative, an investing firm that uses investments to improve the quality of sustainable life – to help them with their business pitch. LOADX’S ENERGY EFFICIENCY SOFTWARE

The team’s software uses the data that’s already available on an energy monitoring system to save energy. “There’s smart plugs commercially available that monitor and

can shut off your circuits for appliances, and the idea is our company would suggest smart plugs and then we would interface our possibly, well, ideally, our free software, to their device,” electrical engineering graduate student Nick Fisher said. The software, which integrates into a mobile app, will help homeowners save energy. “We wanted to make it easier for people to see what kind of energy loads their appliances and stuff,” electrical engineering senior Kenny Luong said. According to Pham, the software makes “the dumb home appliance smart.” “For example, if your fridge is not fully closed, the software would track based on the pattern of your usage, and notify you, ‘Hey, your fridge is open,’” he said. The software can also monitor the energy usage of a water heater. “The program will watch your energy usage and notify you that the hot ready is ready for shower instead of you waiting randomly,” Pham said. “Of course water heater have reheat cycle so LoadX will, based on learning your behavior, cut off those reheat time, which mean you save energy.” He added that the team is trying to provide a low-cost alternative solution to save energy. In the future, they hope to give away their software for free.

Murray Clay, managing partner for Ulupono Intiative and one of the team’s mentors, thinks this idea’s time has come. “It is starting to be applied at the commercial and industrial level but there doesn’t yet seem to be a cost-effective home solution,” he said in an email interview. “If they can crack that problem, they could have a compelling business offering.”

According to Lee, two coaches, who came from the business community and volunteered their time, were assigned to each team to mentor the students.

THE CHALLENGE

The goal of the BIC is to showcase the innovation that’s happening at the university, according to Krystal Lee, PACE program manager. “This is a way to showcase those type of innovations and ideas that

The team was able to see Energy Excelerator’s

nine startup companies pitch to and meet one-on-one with representatives from various companies such as Hawaiian Electric Companies, UH, the Hawai‘ i State Energy Office and Hawai‘ i Energy. “She has experience in this field that we’re trying to go into so she can give us tips … and ideas to help us in that market and in that sector,” Fisher said. “Just meeting her is nice to know because Energy Excelerator funds future energy-type companies. So just allowing PACE and introducing us to them could be a future business venture to enter into Energy Excelerator in the future.” Clay said he enjoyed working with the team. “They’re motivated and open to new ideas and approaches,” he said. “I haven’t had the chance to work with engineers in a while [usually finance folks and lawyers] so that was refreshing. I hope they were able to get some useful business insights from our session.” The best advice the team received, according to Fisher, was to find a niche that its software can address in the market. “We come from engineering background, and we think we have to have these amazing ideas, but sometimes amazing ideas fail in the market,” he said. “We hope to continue to work on it.” Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

Nine percent of campus affiliates reported bicycling as a mode of transportation in the campus’s 2011 transportation survey.

City may implement bikeshare program by end of 2015 Study finds Honolulu well-suited for bike sharing, recommends stations KEVIN DENEEN STAFF WRITER

The University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa could see new bikeshare stations by the end of 2015. The estimated time is tentative, according to Honolulu Bicycle Coordinator Chris Sayers. Under the city’s bikeshare program, students will be able to commute to Waikīkī and Chinatown from stations on campus. According to Cathleen Matsushima, manager for the campus’ Commuter and Fleet Services, the university has not yet determined the number of bikeshare stations there will be on campus, who will oversee the program and whether there will be a student payment plan. However, a tentative location is planned between the Warrior Recreation Center and the Art Building. She added that the department is waiting for approval from the City and County of Honolulu. “If this project moves forward, it would become a pivotal component of UHM Commuter Services’ Alternate Transportation Program, which encourages sustainable modes of commuting for students, faculty and staff,” Matsushima said in an

email interview. “UHM Commuter Services is interested in assisting the city in whatever way we can.” SHARING BIKES AROUND THE CITY

Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Associates was hired to complete a bikeshare organizational study for Honolulu. The consultant firm is internationally recognized and committed to developing transportation systems that promote sustainablity and accessiblity, according to its website. Nelson\Nygaard’s findings and recommendations were that Honolulu is well-suited for a successful bikeshare program. The consultants also suggested to administering a nonprofit model and to go big and dense with the bike stations, according to the city’s Bringing Bikeshare to Hawai‘i January 2014 presentation. After the study, Nelson\Nygaard recommended that the city to go big and dense for the first phase of the program, 180 stations with 1,700 bikes accompanying them, according to the presentation. A single-day pass will likely cost around $5 to $8 for the future program, according to Sayers. In 2012, the city created a bike-

share-steering committee that became Bikeshare Hawai‘ i, according to its website. The organization will be responsible for overseeing the program in Hawai‘ i. The nonproﬁt will work with public and private partners to manage the launching and operations of the bikeshare system. The non-proﬁt helped bring in all the funding sources such as the City and State Departments of Health, which have brought in millions of dollars as well as Ulupono Initiative, an organization supporting sustain-

BRINGING BIKESHARING TO THE CAMPUS

Students at UH Mānoa are glad to hear about the new program. “Sometimes me and my friends walk to Waikīkī and feel it would be faster to bike,” said Jamie Agor, a junior studying nutrition. Cody Jelsma, a freshman studying liberal arts, thinks the program would be a fun way to commute and seems affordable. Through the program, students will be able to rent a bicycle through a public network. Bikes

A single-day pass will likely cost around $5 to $8 for the future program, according to Sayers. able practices, which is contributing approximately $300,000 for the developing program. Administrators with Bikeshare Hawai‘ i will oversee the stations and bikes. A management team will help balance the number of bikes at each station, according to Sayers. Revenue will come from consumers using the bikeshare program.

will be available at various stations and users may make pointto-point trips, according to the Honolulu Bikeshare organizational study ﬁnal report. The Honolulu Bikeshare program has proposed to employ a credit or debit card-based online payment for monthly and annual subscriptions, according to its ﬁnal report. Daily and multi-day subscriptions

will be available through kiosk systems. For the annual and monthly subscribers, a fare card or key fob will be provided. For all other subscribers, a unique code will be provided to dial into the docking station. A PILOT BIKESHARE PROGRAM

In 2011, the city launched a $100,000 bikeshare pilot program in Kailua called Hawaii B-cycle. The program was funded by the State Department of Health’s Healthy Hawai‘ i initiative, according to its website. Kailua was chosen because of its high population density, commute distances and ﬂat topography. The program charges ﬁve dollars a day to use one of its bikes. After the initial half-hour, all riders are charged $2.50 for every halfhour they possess the bike. This is intended to encourage shorter rides and the return of the bikes to the stations, so they can be shared by other users, according to the program’s website.

Campus looks for other ways to increase tuition revenues ERIC ANCHETA STAFF WRITER

The university’s budget needs to be tuition driven, according to Mānoa Chancellor Robert Bley-Vroman. He, along with Jeff Portnoy, UH Board of Regents (BOR) member, Ron Bontekoe, UH Mānoa professor and Faculty Senate chairman and Stephen Nishihara, Associated Students of the University of Hawai‘i

and people speaking,” he said. “We heard today about 700 people signing a petition. I may agree or disagree with the petition, but when’s the last time 700 people at the UH got together and signed anything?” UH Mānoa graduate students created the petition in response to hearing that teaching assistant positions would be reduced for the fall semester. Portnoy said protestors who testiﬁed before the Board of Regents at a meeting on the Leeward Community College campus were more focused on proposed policy changes than they were during testimony given after Apple’s ﬁring in August. “I think things have changed now [the testimony] wasn’t as emotional as previous testimony,” Portnoy said.

UH Mānoa is looking at other ways to increase its tuition revenues. Aside from going to the legislature for more money, according to Bontekoe, the university can try and tap into students from other states like California. “Something else that is underway at the moment… is the recognition that it is time for us to take stock in how our university is supported so a budget allocation model needs to be

(ASUH) at Mānoa president, participated in Civil Beat’s Civil Cafe, titled “What’s Ailing UH?” on Nov. 20. “With respect to the budget, we are in a very difﬁcult situation,” Bley-Vroman said during the cafe. He said in terms of percentages, about the same amount comes in from general funds and tuition. Together, they make up about half the university’s budget. According to Bontekoe, part of the reason for the campus’ budget situation is spending on infrastructure projects such as the new Information Technology building, which opened in January.

He added that buildings are falling apart. “There is a serious backlog in maintenance,” Bontekoe said. “A lot of money goes into building things, but not much is put into maintaining them.” The passing of Senate Bill 2682, which requires that UH BOR members and other entities not mentioned to publicly disclose their ﬁnancial records led to the resignation of four BOR members – Saedene Ota, Carl Carlson, Tom Shigemoto and John Dean. Portnoy said he did not agree with the new law. “It’s a bad law. We lost four regents all of whom are extraordinarily qualiﬁed because they had their own reasons they chose resign,” Portnoy said during the cafe.

As part of Fix UH Mānoa’s Nov. 17 rally, the group put an out-of-order sign on the monument on East-West Road.

Although Portnoy said the board lost members that are ﬁnancial-savvy, the board will still be qualiﬁed to advise the university on its budget situation. CAMPUS PROTEST

For the majority of the last week, students, faculty and staff protested against teaching assistant cuts and called for a budget reform. The group Fix UH Mānoa led the protest and called for a budget allocation model that distributes funds to colleges based on what they generate

in revenue, according to a previous Ka Leo article. Bley-Vroman doesn’t think student protests are necessarily a bad thing or an issue, and he was not disturbed at what some people are considering unrest. Portnoy shared this similar thought in regards to the student protest of the abrupt ﬁring of former Mānoa Chancellor Tom Apple. “I won’t comment on Apple. Frankly, I think it’s time we move on. The one good thing that may have come out of that is protest

Civil Beat reporter Nathan Eagle moderated the cafe. “The purpose of Civil Cafes is to foster talks around hot issues, so it only made sense to have a Civil Cafe around what’s happening at the university,” Mike Webb, Civil Beat sales and marketing director, said in an email. Topics for discussion included UH’s fiscal budget woes, its maintenance repair backlog, the student protest over the firing of Apple and newly implemented financial disclosure law for members of the UH’s BOR, according to the event release. Several live audience members and online viewers who asked questions expressed frustration over the budget crisis and the administration. According to Webb, Civil Beat serves as a neutral medium for the community to come together and discuss these topics in the hopes that something significant will come of it.

Memorial held for UH Mānoa Latin Professor Kendall Inada MEAKALIA PREVICH-LIU ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

When Kendall Inada graduated from ‘Iolani High School and began his freshman year at the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa, he wanted to take an advanced Latin language course immediately. However, Robert Littman, professor of classics, doubted that a student with only high school experience in Latin could succeed in advanced classes. He gave Inada a Latin passge and asked him to translate it. “He translated it perfectly,” Lit-

tman said. “He was the best student in the class, and I think Kendall is the best Latin student we’ve had in Hawai‘i in my 43 years teaching here.” A memorial service was held for Inada, a UH Mānoa Latin professor, in Moore Hall on the eveningi of Nov. 19. Approximately 40 students, faculty and friends were present to give their condolences and share memories of Inada, who passed away Nov. 4. Littman said Inada’s greatest trait was his ability to inspire others. “People learn from their peers, and I know so many of you students

are inspired by Kendall, and by his love of Latin, and he passed that on to you,” he said. Caitelin Maile, a student of Inada’s, helped organize the memorial and said that the service was a way of honoring him. “I thought it was important that we get a chance to say goodbye and let go, and he was really important to all of us. He was more than just a teacher – he was our friend. He was special to a lot of kids,” she said. Maile said she had Inada as a teacher for ﬁve years, but he hadbeen teaching for at least 10 years. One of her favorite traits of Inada is

how he cared about the students. “He was one of those few teachers that really care about their kids,” she said. Chad Hui-Peterson, classics club president and a student of Inada’s, said it’s important to remember what he meant to all the students. “It means a lot to make sure that Kendall’s memory stays alive, especially at UH, where he dedicated a lot of his life here with his students, and as you can see, the students felt a strong connection with him,” he said. At the end of the memorial, attendees gathered outside Hamil-

ton Library to release balloons with messages to Inada. Maile said the messages served as a way of letting go and expressing what they wished they could say to Inada. As a tribute to Inada, students left messages on a board in the shape of Batman, a nickname given to him by his students, to be displayed on his ofﬁce door. One of the messages read, “He was the hero we needed, not the hero we deserved.”

A crowd shows up to protest outside Walmart in Roeland Park, Kansas as Black Friday shoppers were out seeking bargains.

Save Thanksgiving: a case for unions LISA GRANDINETTI ASSOCIATE OPINIONS EDITOR

Working families across America are struggling to survive, and this Thanksgiving, corporations are proving yet again that they don’t care. In an attempt to maximize profits, big box corporations are opening their doors for Black Friday on the day of Thanksgiving. To solve this issue, among countless others, we desperately need a comeback of labor unions. BLACK FRIDAY PART ONE

First, Thanksgiving is a racist holiday commemorating not a peaceful shared meal between Native

Americans and pilgrims, but the violent massacre of 400 Pequot Indians, including children. The name originates from Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, William Newell, proclaiming, “From that day forth, shall be a day of celebration and thanks giving for subduing the Pequots.” However, as it has come to be a day to spend with our families, sharing a meal and giving thanks, working people and families deserve to partake in the festivities as well. Many employers, especially of smaller businesses, observe the holiday, giving their workers the chance to spend the weekend reconnecting with their families, but big box cor-

MAN ON THE STREET

porations such as Walmart and Target are working very hard to take this opportunity away. Among other stores opening on Thanksgiving Day, Walmart, Sears, Macy’s, Target and Kohl’s will be opening at 6 p.m., a typical time for Thanksgiving dinners; Big Lots will be opening the morning of Thanksgiving at 7 a.m.; and Kmart will be opening even earlier at 6 a.m., effectively turning Thanksgiving into Black Friday part one. It is partly the responsibility of shoppers to think critically about these to-die-for sales and consider their participation in the oppression of Black Friday, or rather Black Thursday, workers. However, the

“I’m

noticing a lot of money goes to administration. I’m guessing we could at least distribute that money elsewhere.”

Rather than cut TA positions, what can UH do to save money?

more concrete solution to this problem is giving workers power by letting them organize into unions. UNIONS ARE THE ANSWER

In an age of anti-unionism where unions have either been dismantled or taken over by the business-minded, most prescribe to the common belief that workers have no power in the workplace. Without unions, this belief stands true, but it has not always been this way. When unions thrive, the community thrives because being part of a union means being able to demand respect, just wages and beneﬁts from employers. Being part of a union means having the power

Lisa Grandinetti Associate Opinions Editor

to collectively bargain. Even being outside of a union when the majority of workers are unionized means your employer must compete with the union standard. Unions are also what make strikes possible. Relating to Thanksgiving, this is the most powerful tool workers could use to demand their employers be respectful to their family values. Unfortunately, when workers are not part of a union, they have no protections from being ﬁred for participating in a strike. This severely limits workers’ leverage over their employers. Despite the dangers of striking without a union’s protection, Walmart workers across the country from 1,600 stores are planning the largest Black Friday strike in history. As part of a larger struggle to demand $15 an hour and fulltime work in order for employees – comprised of mostly women who are also often the heads of their households – Walmart workers are using the opportunity of Black Friday to demonstrate their value in the workplace. After all, without the workers, businesses simply could not function. What we as a community must do at this point is support the workers in whatever way possible – joining Black Friday protests, supporting the protesters’ purpose and boycotting corporations who refuse to treat workers as human beings. In the end, we must challenge the oppressive anti-unionism ingrained in our proﬁt- and growth-obsessed culture. If we allow the continued deterioration of labor unions, our community will continue to suffer. Saving Thanksgiving is just one small part of the larger issue of the loss of worker power, but in the long run, we must demand the right of workers to organize into unions in order to put an end to employers’ monopolizing power and dehumanization of working people.

In search of a cool treat that you can get on campus? Try OnoPops, popsicles made in Hawai‘i with fresh, organic ingredients. The flavors have local twists, like Guava Chiffon, Pineapple Li Hing, Mango Honey Cream or Kona Latte. There are also more adventurous flavors like Caramel Shoyu, Mango Habanero-Lime or Ume-Thai Basil. The popsicles are locally sourced, with the Lilikoi Cheesecake using ingredients from Naked Cowgirls of Wai‘anae Dairy. Ono Pops has either a water base, resulting in a refreshing, light popsicle, or a dairy base, giving the popsicle a creamier texture. Some of my favorites are Lilikoi 50-50, which is similar to an orange creamsicle but has the sweeter flavor of lilikoi, and Pineapple Vanilla. Kona Latte is great for when you’re craving coffee in hot weather. All of the flavors have the tang of real fruit, with none of the artificial-sweetener taste that you sometimes get with popsicles. You can get Ono Pops at several farmer’s markets around the island, as well as at most grocery stores ,including Whole Foods and Down to Earth. The price varies depending on where you buy them, but at The Market, they’re around $4 each and $9.99 if you buy the pack of four. The popsicles are rather pricey, considering how much you get, so make them an occasional indulgence instead of your daily dessert. RATING

Chef’s Tasting Plate ($15): ahi (tuna), crab cake, shrimp and aspic jelly, oyster and shrimp pancake. HARRISON PATINO STAFF WRITER

As food becomes an ever-emerging part of our generational growth, the art of ﬁne dining seems to have been lost in the transition. Kaimukī’s Café Miro, a testament to the long-standing tradition of a higher-standard meal. Situated on Wai‘alae Avenue, Café Miro is within an arms reach of the neighborhood’s more established eateries; Town and Kaimukī Superette are a 30-second walk from the café. Though at ﬁrst glance the ban-

ner of “French/Japanese Food” ﬂying over the restaurant might seem jarring, the execution of the blend of French and Japanese cuisine worked. Japanese seafood staples such as Hokkaido scallop ($28) and ahi (tuna) ($12), are served either panfried with sea urchin tomato sauce or served sliced thin as a carpaccio with wasabi mayonnaise and a fresh mixed greens salad. Café Miro also offers a classic gourmet feel, with traditional French bistro favorites such as Duck Conﬁt with a Fond de Canard sauce ($28) or prime rib in a red wine reduction

$30 for dishes like Spiny Roasted Lobster Tail ($24) and Kona Abalone ($28). Entrées typically cost around $25 to $40, not including the pricey option of adding foie gras and trufﬂe sauce. However, the price is wholly justiﬁed. All of the food is delicious and well-executed – both a culinary and visual delight. The duck was tender and cooked to perfection, complemented by its scored, crispy fat layer. The chicken, moist and juicy without a trace of pink, was served with a ratatouille and string beans. Café Miro’s prime rib, ordered rare was juicy and red, and the foie gras I ate between courses was rich. The appetizers are wonderful. The mozzarella and prosciutto salad ($15) was enough for two people, while the garlic butter oysters ($15) could have served as an entrée of their own. The servers are knowledgeable and attentive, and have taken the time to learn the menu inside and out and provide excellent service in between courses. The décor is

ever-expanding food scene. Though the price is hefty, it’s worth it. You don’t feel as though you’re swindled out of your money for a subpar dining experience. The food is delicious, and the restaurant emits a calm luxury. Though you’re coming for food, what you get is an experience.

Ziegler teaches World History to 1500, The History of the Holocaust, Nazi Germany and 20th Century European History. BRAD DELL FEATURES EDITOR

Herbert Ziegler played among the ruins of post-war Germany as a child, saw the Berlin Wall being built and traveled the world. Some̔ how he ended up in an ofﬁce chair in Sakamaki Hall at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, surrounded by vintage World War II posters, with boxes upon boxes of ﬁles and hundreds of books – a couple written by himself. Ziegler sits tiredly in his chair as an associate professor with a doctorate in history and prefers not to speak of himself or his accomplishments. Once history or family is mentioned, though, he gets an excited energy.

War II made the history relatable for Ziegler, and he found an interest in 20th-century Europe, Nazi and Holocaust history. “I remember growing up among ruins, really,” Ziegler said. “Berlin was bombed out ... All the men in my family at the time had fought in the Second World War, my grandfather fought in the First World War. So I heard things from them. There was an immediacy there. I mean, my family lost virtually everything. There was a constant reminder and connection to that time period.” Ziegler hopped between the United States and Germany for his college education, majoring in history after a “brief ﬂirtation” with science. While ﬁnishing his dissertation for his doctorate degree, he

He stood out among the competition because of his use of statistics, specifically quantitative methods, in analyzing history. “Most historians will tell you they became historians because they hate math,” Ziegler said. “I was not one of them ... I was hired here to teach graduate students how to do quantitative analysis, and that lasted a few years, then that field kind of went out of fashion, so to speak. Since then, historians have returned to where they used to be with, "'We don’t like numbers, we’re historians.'" His skills in statistics came in use when he was given the opportunity to spend a year at the Berlin Document Center to study 2,000 personnel files for the Schutzstaffel (SS), the Nazi elite troops. After assigning codes to various names,

LIVING THE HISTORY

History was always a passion of Ziegler’s. “It was my geeky aspect when I was a little boy. I would go to the library and look at the history sections for both kids and adults. It’s a long, long, long love,” Ziegler said. When he wasn’t studying it, he was living it. Ziegler remembers going to a swimming lake in Berlin as a child, only to ﬁnd the street blocked by barbed wire. “We said, ‘What the hell is going on?’ And that was the day, April 13, 1961, that the Berlin Wall was built,” Ziegler said. “I guess I increasingly sound like some old guy because I can tell personal stories when I lecture. Like ‘Oh, I remember when the wall was built; I remember the day Kennedy visited Berlin.’ Things like that. So I talk like some old fart, reminiscing about the old days.” These ﬁrst-hand experiences and the legacies left behind by World

In very quiet ways, he's providing a very digniﬁed and lovely message about carrying on through difﬁcult times. –MARGOT A. HENRIKSEN PH.D., WIFE, COLLEAGUE

found himself working in Georgia’s Department of Health. Starting out with computer work in Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter’s ofﬁce, he soon became the Director of Health Statistics for the state of Georgia for about nine months. “I became so disillusioned with government work,” Ziegler said. “I realized that most people didn’t care what they were doing so much, as long as they got a promotion.” A HISTORIAN OF NUMBERS

With a newly earned doctorate in history, Ziegler landed a job at the University of Hawai‘i in 1980.

attributes, levels of education and other factors, Ziegler wrote a statistical analysis of the SS leadership titled “Nazi Germany’s New Aristocracy: The SS Leadership, 1925-1939,” published in 1990. “Princeton University just decided to reissue his [book], which is quite the honor,” said Peter H. Hoffenberg, Ph.D., UH associate history professor, in an interview. “It’s a very important study, and it’s still referred to all the time.” Ziegler was also responsible for the creation of the Holocaust history course at UH Mānoa and has contributed to the Holocaust Edu-

cational Foundation. His interest is not only restricted to just Germany or Europe. Ziegler also teaches world history and co-wrote a textbook with the late historian Jerry H. Bentley, Ph.D., titled “Traditions and Encounters.” Ziegler hopes to one day write a demographic history of the world. ONE OF THE BEST

Despite his contributions to research and remembrance, Ziegler still ﬁnds time to teach. “I like teaching – a lot. I try to make connections between research and teaching,” Ziegler said. “I don’t think they’re mutually exclusive. I think that professors should integrate research into their classes.” One might think that his continuous research and teaching of Nazi and Holocaust history might depress him, but his humor is still intact. “He’s notorious for his sense of humor, and for taking cigarette breaks in the middle of lectures,” Hoffenberg said. Ziegler has found popularity with his students because of his humor among other things. “He’s super intelligent and incredibly funny, and I ﬁnd him charming. I see him charm people all the time,” said Margot A. Henriksen, Ph.D., wife and colleague to Ziegler, in an interview. “As a professor, he’s one of the best,” Hoffenberg said. “His reputation as a lecturer is superb.” The professor is not one to let obstacles get in the way of his job. Ziegler went through radiation treatments and surgery last fall, prompting him to take sick leave for the semester. Despite this, he has continued to teach since then. “I think it’s admirable that he is

still teaching and trying,” Henriksen said. “In very quiet ways, he’s providing a very digniﬁed and lovely message about carrying on through difﬁcult times.” HIS GREATEST ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Alexandra, Ziegler and Henriksen’s 24-year-old daughter, is Ziegler’s “pride and joy,” Hoffenberg said. “I know him as a responsible dad who loves his daughter,” Hoffenberg said. “Very, very much loves her.” “He’s a fabulous father,” Henriksen said. “I think he tries to give her the advantages he didn’t have growing up.” Out of all that he has done, Ziegler considers marrying a “wonderful woman” and raising a “beautiful daughter” to be his greatest accomplishments.

2014 SHOPPING GUIDE SPECIAL CIAL ISSUE

THE SHOPPING GUIDE LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Dear Reader, Twenty years ago, in third grade, I traded a bag full of carrot sticks for two packages of gushers. Anyone who knows anything about elementary school food economics understands what a good deal this was. It was the deal of a century, and every purchase or exchange I’ve made since has paled in comparison. Those were the golden years of shopping. A child knows only the value of the things that they want, and that value only goes as far as that child’s desire. Today as an adult, I know no value, only prices. My buying habits follow not what I can afford, but what I can get a good deal on. For 60 percent off a 4k 55-inch TV, would you pepper-spray the shopper in front of you who had taken the last one? The critics out there may complain that the health of a fellow human being is worth more than $1,200 in savings. On Black Friday, we celebrate, we bleed and we sacrifice, not to save money or get great deals, but rather to be worth more than what we are said to be worth. We live in a civilized society, knowing the limits of what we’re allowed and disallowed by law. While there are those who will break the glass ceiling through luck, ingenuity or passion, there still remain those who are forced by statistical necessity to be below average. Shopping can be desperate and ugly if we look at it too closely, or if companies set us against each other with limited supply sales, so let’s be shallow. We’re trying to find the best life we can. Within this guide, you’ll find many tips and suggestions that could help you during the shopping season. Find out where to find antiques and boutiques (p. 19-20), where and how to find cheap buys (p. 26) and if shopping online is better than shopping in person (p. 16). Your editor,

THE PROS AND CONS OF

BUYING ONLINE

ADD TO CART

vs.

BUY NOW

SHOPPING IN PERSON

MEAKALIA PREVICH-LIU ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

As the holidays fast approach, people will be starting on their Christmas shopping lists as early as Halloween. In addition, the Black Friday following Thanksgiving will have even more shoppers running after bargains. both in stores and online. This is the time to question whether that sale is really worth the extra effort of driving to the store or if you should just buy it online. Shopping is supposed to be an enjoyable experience, so here are some things to think about before your next shopping extravaganza to help make that experience a little better.

PROS You can shop for things you like from the comfort of your bed. You don’t need to drive anywhere or pay for transportation to get there. You don’t need to compete with the intense vibes of other shoppers who want the same shirt as you. You can avoid harassment and won’t have salespeople in your face trying to sell you perfume that smells like anything but roses. You have an unlimited amount of time looking at stuff and judging products.

PROS

You have the ﬂexibility to go from one site with all your favorite things, and then go to another store you love in a matter of seconds.

Once you’re at the department store, there’s no turning back (unless you actually don’t have money and everything looks awful).

You get to choose exactly what you’re going to buy, rather than a random person retrieving the shirt and packing it for you.

You have the ability to look at different prices, and to choose which one better suits your budget.

You have the opportunity to try on clothing and you can make sure that pair of jeans ﬁt just right.

You can look at product reviews before making a big purchase.

You can make shopping an event and a bonding experience by catching up on some quality friend time with someone who you haven’t seen in a while.

What you see is actually what you will get. If you make a mistake in the size or bought the wrong color bag, you can go back as soon as you can to return it.

As long as you have a device and Internet connection, you can shop and look at stuff you might want to buy whenever you feel like it.

You can take home the merchandise right there and now, instead of having to wait two to four weeks for the post ofﬁce or FedEx to ship it to your door.

You don’t need to pay for any shipping costs, just the actual merchandise. You have the chance to stop being a hermit and to get out and have fun.

CONS You don’t get to physically touch and try on what your about to spend so much money on. You have to pay for shipping costs that make your purchase seem way more expensive than its worth. You have to deal with different policies when shopping on various websites, such as the return policy which could take weeks. You don’t know really how reliable the website will be in terms of providing you quality products. You have to call certain people if something goes wrong with your order and you’re not able to ask questions to people that would normally be there to help you on the spot.

CONS Online binge shopping is a very real thing when you aren’t using cash to pay its easier to use a credit card and to go on an unwanted shopping spree when you can’t see your money disappearing. You experience the anxiety that comes with every push of the keyboard when inputting your credit card number and other private information – be careful and on the lookout for identity theft (especially during the holidays!). You miss the whole traditional shopping experience.

You have to deal with frustrated shoppers who can’t ﬁnd what they’re looking for. You’ll feel pressured to buy something because you came all that way to do that. People will monitor everything you’re doing and try to sell you stuff. You have to get out of bed to go shopping. You have a time limit because department stores have real closing hours.

You don’t have all the options you could have when shopping online, and you have to be content with what the store has available. You have to wait in long lines at your favorite department store.

If you’re tired of giving gift cards and don’t know what else to get, this selection of presents may help. Buy vast quantities to stash in your closet for all occasions.

SOME EFFORT JOHN EWALT / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

Stores that offer an eclectic mix of items, such as Antique Alley (above), offer the most possibilities for holiday gifts.

Knick knack your budget back Antique stores can yield great gifts on a budget

ALEX BITTER EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Tired of standing in hours-long lines at department stores? Wishing your gifts stood out a little more from what everyone else is buying this holiday season? Instead of shopping with the crowd at chain stores, try hitting an antique shop. These curio-ﬁlled stores are great if you are looking for comic books, old glassware or a random white elephant gift. Many antique stores also offer more possibilities for shoppers on a budget than malls or department stores. MORE CLUTTER, MO’ BETTAH

If the store is crammed wall-towall with full glass cases, trays and shelves, you’re in the right place. The best antique shops have retail spaces that barely ﬁt their inventories. Not only do they tend to be less costly than better-organized stores, it’s also more fun to browse through stores jam-packed with old stuff. Once you ﬁnd the right shop, your gift options should be almost endless. Many antique dealers buy their inventory from auctions, estate sales and individual sellers, bringing together an often eclectic

range of antiquities. Some shops have speciﬁc focuses (aloha shirts, for instance) while others will stock knick-knacks ranging from World War II posters to jewelry.

Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

A gift card or Money Maze puzzle box ($6 to $20) adds variety to the generic. Your friend will spend more effort opening the box than you did preparing the gift. If you can’t afford to spend additional money, just fold the money into origami. Cute, cheap and creative.

LESS EFFORT

Board games

PICK YOUR PRICE

Forget the manufacturer’s suggested retail price: Antique shops tend to be the Wild West of pricing. While store owners often have their own prices on items, most are open to other offers (try talking the price down at Walmart). Haggling is standard practice in antique stores, but it’s also courteous not to suggest too low a price. If you’re looking at a gold or silver pendant, for example, don’t offer the dealer less than the value of the precious metal in the object. If you have a specific gift in mind – a camera for your photographer friend, for example – you may want to do a little research ahead of time to figure out what price is reasonable by the time you get to the store. Along with listings on online websites, guides such as the Antique Trader and Miller’s Antinques and Collectibles provide printed catalogues for specific types of antiques, from cameras to old bottles.

JOHN EWALT / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

Board games are perfect for those impromptu parties. A travel-sized board game, like magnetic chess, is even better for those moments when you’re bored and your phone is dead. With prices as low as $5 or less, this gift won’t leave you strapped for cash.

BEAUTY BOUTIQUE TEXT AND PHOTOS BY GABRIELLE PANGILINAN STAFF WRITER

In the world of fashion, boutiques are small independent businesses that specialize in certain fashion merchandise at highend prices. Products are either locally made or sourced from other states and countries. Intead of appealing to the mass market, boutiques strive to set their own image that caters to a group of consumers. Loyal customers like to ﬁnd brands and other products uncommonly seen in popular retail.

Bamboo Sky

Lily Lotus Lily Lotus in Kaimukī and Kailua has clothing for inspired living with its luxury yoga wear and resort lifestyle. This boutique designs and constructs most of its apparel on O‘ahu. The beautiful dyed fabrics you’ll see are made in the U.S. Its handcrafted jewelry is locally designed.

Bamboo Sky is a locally owned bohemian chic boutique on Kamake‘e street. It offers a unique collection of contemporary women’s fashion, as well as accessories and jewelry. Mounted on a wall section is a collection of designer shoes sorted by bold colors and details. Exclusive brands are brought here from L.A.

Patty’s Closet

-$ 5

Patty’s Closet carries six sizes in each style (two small, two medium and two large) so that it constantly brings in different merchandise. Each piece of jewelry and clothing is a piece of art. The handbags are also unique in design. There are three locations on the island: Mililani, Pearl Highlands and Windward Mall. Each store is visually merchandised differently with themes, so selection varies.

SeaLove Vantique

Sugarcane

SeaLove is the ﬁrst boutique in Hawai‘i to go mobile. You can ﬁnd it near the shores of Sandy Beach, North Shore and even at the Night Market. It’s convenient for any girl who forgets her bikini or cover-up.

Sugarcane is a boutique in Kaimukī inspired by island beaches with its shell and glass jewelry, beach bags and totes, and ocean knickknacks. You’ll also ﬁnd other items such as baby apparel, Kahala organic skin products, vintage milk glasses and tea sets.

Highly anticipated products that will ruin your life ALDEN ALAYVILLA WEB EDITOR

I like stuff. We all like stuff. Here are five items to look for that might possibly ruin your college career, your job and your life. Let’s face it — technology, gadgets and films are some of the reasons why we miss birthdays and procrastinate on essays. But hey, watching a movie during class satisfies our need for self-gratification.

Google Glass

‘Guardians of the Galaxy’

Apple Watch

ON BLU-RAY

Combining technology with eyewear, Google Glass gives wearers a reason to look pretentious and gives them that “I’m-betterthan-you” sort of feel. But seriously, if you have $1,500 to waste, why not dump your money on these slick glasses? Information on Google Glass is displayed via voice commands: To activate, wearers tilt their heads 30 degrees upward and say, “Okay glass.” Once activated, wearers say a command; examples include, “take a picture” or “record a video.” Google Now, Google Maps, Google+ and Gmail are default applications. Other apps include facial recognition, photo manipulation and translation apps. You can share information to social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. The number of Google Glass is limited. The product is in beta and is only available by request. Google says the general consumer release date is unknown.

If you like piña coladas, have enough of them and enjoy space movies, then you’ll love the special features included in “Guardians of the Galaxy” on Blu-ray. The features will have you glued to the screen so long you might neglect work, class and other important obligations or anniversaries. Yolo. One of the main features of the Blu-ray is a series called “Galactic Adventurer,” which features behind-the-scenes videos of various locations. But wait, there’s more: There will be at least ﬁve deleted scenes that will end viewer speculation. Yippy. It’s set to be released Dec. 9 and is priced around $22 on Amazon.com.

‘Dawn of the Planet of the Apes’ Project Morpheus ON BLU-RAY

Sweet, sweet Apple has once again proved that any gadget produced by the company sells. Although the touch-screen display on the watch might be too big for fingers, at least consumers will now be able to tell time without taking their phones out of their pockets or bags. Convenient. Compatible with iPhone 5 and newer models, the Apple Watch is able to receive calls, iMessage and SMS texts and can track fitness level. It can do everything an iPhone can do, but on your wrist. Wow. Two things that might entice consumers to buy the $350 watch are its viewfinder and walkie-talkie functions. The spying capabilities with the device are endless. Seriously, though, don’t spy on others. It’s illegal in most instances.

One of the scariest films involving genetically-modified apes capable of ripping humans apart with a smile, “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” on Blu-ray will satisfy your desire for a masochistic, sadistic, bloodthirsty foreshadow of the future. A special feature on the Bluray has Andy Serkis (Caesar) and director Matt Reeves elaborate on themes such as conflict and survival between humans and the apes. Other features that will make you go bananas are deleted scenes, interviews and an alternate ending featuring concept art. “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” on Blu-ray is priced at $22.52 on Amazon.com and will be released Dec. 2.

The Oculus Rift gives gamers a chance to be exposed to the world of virtual-reality gaming, while giving them motion sickness and alienating them from face to face contact with co-workers and loved ones for weeks on end. There is one shortfall with the Oculus Rift, however: It is limited to computers. Sony, however, will change that sometime after 2014. Project Morpheus is the codename for Sony’s virtual reality headset that is set to be compatible with the PS4 console and Playstation Vita. Shuhei Yoshida, president of SCE Worldwide Studios, said Project Morpheus has a display of 1080p resolution with a 90 degree ﬁeld of view. Included in the headset, Yoshida said, are accelerometer and gyroscope sensors built into the unit as well as PlayStation Camera which accurately tracks head orientation and movement. As far as sound, the headset will feature 3D audio that emits sound from all directions. Yoshida said consumers won’t spend $1,000 to get their hands on the headset.

GIFTS FOR THE STEREOTYPES IN YOUR LIFE THE SCHOLAR

THE GEEK

BRAD DELL FEATURES EDITOR

1. INDIANA JONES HAT Many scholars aren’t physcially active. But one thing they all agree on is that if they were to adventure, it would be Indiana Jones style. Jones is a role model for all nerdy scholars, being the perfect blend of cool, handsome and, of course, smarts. Boost your favorite scholar’s self-esteem and buy him a hat like Jones’ iconic one. Just skip out on getting him a whip. $28.03-59.99 on Amazon.

3. A MARBLE BUST OF APOLLO Every scholar has a trusty desk that they work on each night, slaving away on their papers and free-time research. What better way to decorate their desk than with a cheap marble bust of Apollo, Greek god of knowledge? It’s sophisticated, cool looking and may comfort pagan scholars. $38.95 on Amazon.

2. ANTIQUE-LOOKING PARCHMENT Scholars write a lot. A whole lot. Change up the boring old paper by getting them really old paper. Writing on parchment gives a satisfaction that modern paper doesn’t, and whatever is written on it looks 10 times more important. Purchase a fountain pen or quill along with it, and remind your favorite scholar that his or her homework might not be accepted if it’s turned in on parchment.

• Fancy pen • Tweed jacket • Book ends (the things that hold up books) • First print edition of their favorite book • Library tote bag • Shirts with major-related slogans • Their favorite coffee or energy drink

Back in the day, an admirer of comic books, video games, fantasy or other obscure genres was referred to as an egghead, dork or even a nerd. Today, the label has been replaced with geek. Rather than rejecting this term, the geek community has embraced it with open arms. Geek culture has now become mainstream, as other social stereotypes have shown a large afﬁnity for it. With the holidays coming up, sales around the web are beginning to rise. Whether you are a geek or shopping for that special someone, this list highlights some of the best gift ideas around.

2. HAN SOLO ICE CUBE TRAYS What better way to keep your drinks cold than with one of the coolest characters in ﬁlm history? For $9, this gift is perfect for stocking stuffers or as a small addition to a larger gift. Gift receivers may say “I love it,” setting up for perfect comeback, “I know.”

1. FLUX CAPACITOR USB CAR CHARGER “Great Scott! My phone is about to die.” Whether you have experienced this ﬁrsthand or know someone in great need of a USB charging unit, look no further. The Flux Capacitor is able to generate 1.21 gigawatts of electricity into two devices simultaneously. It also has an on/off switch which lights up the system, to transform any “Back to the Future” fan’s car into the famous time-traveling Delo-

Many people automatically assume that every scholar is geeky, so they also assume that every gift should have to do with science ﬁction or fantasy. While this notion may be true for many scholars, it’s probably safer to buy items that pertain to their major or study habits. The following gift ideas might not work for everyone, but perhaps they’ll spark some inspiration.

GIRL

1. WALLET An everyday essential for a man, a wallet says a lot about his style. Every man is different when it comes to handling his money, so the wallet they choose is no different. Whether a money clip, bifold or slim wallet in black, brown or color, this tricky gift is always a crowd-pleaser among men.

3. MAKEUP Makeup is the perfect gift for any girl. Receiving a new tube of mascara is like becoming a new person. It makes that planned night out in town all the more exciting. Top off the gift of makeup with a cute and subtle lipgloss or lipstick for the perfect combination.

2. TIES Every fashionable guy loves a fashionable tie. For an everyday tie, go with something simple and plain that can work with numerous button-ups. Go with bow ties for the more special occasion and the skinny ties for a fancier, formal black tie event. A man can never have too many ties.

4. HANDBAG Simple and chic, every girl loves to have an array of handbags in her closet. For special occasions, get her a small clutch for the essentials. Swapping out the styles to accompany each of her outﬁts, a crossbody bag, satchel, shoulder bag, tote, mini wallet or accessory will be great.

Shoes/underwear ●

Nobody likes getting these for Christmas, but everybody needs shoes and underwear.

●

Walmart for cheap underwear, shop at Macy’s or go online for high-quality underwear. Victoria’s Secret, La Perla and Princesse Tam Tam are good places for women’s underwear.

BEYOND THE GENERIC: Headphones

We’ve all been there. Your generic kitchen knife only lasts a few cuts before getting rusty and dull, your $2 headphones break the third time you use them and your $20 shoes are falling apart. Here’s where to get quality items at a reasonable price.

Buy shoes designed for different activities. Don’t let the price turn you away. Once you know your shoe size and your favorite brand, you can do all your shopping online. Shoes aren’t hard to ﬁnd, but ﬁnding the right pair will take some time.

Shopping for quality goods ANGUSINA CAMPBELL STAFF WRITER

●

Walmart has a variety of headphones: earbud, ear-pad or full-sized styles. You’ll most likely ﬁnd something you like.

●

Go to Radio Shack for brands like Koss, Skullcandy or Beats. Prices range from ﬁve dollars to over $300. Remember that you get what you pay for.

●

Ross sells pots, pans, wafﬂe irons and more. Snoop around the kitchen aisles for some cooking utensils.

●

Macy’s dinnerware is on sale, and you can buy individual pieces. Mix and match brands and colors to brighten up your dorm room.

Williams-Sonoma is always a good bet, if you can afford it. Stock up on stainless steel appliances and Star Wars-themed cookie cutters here. Certain baking pans cost less than $20.

It’s not being cheap; it’s being smart FADI YOUKHANA MANAGING EDITOR

As the calendar year comes to an end, the shopping season is upon us. Initiated by Black Friday and continued by Christmas gift shopping, consumers can easily squander earnings. However, with a bit of planning, you can buy any desired product at a cheaper cost. Writer’s note: Prices of example products vary according to location. Taxes are not considered while comparing prices.

Thrift shops The best way to save on shopping would be to take advantage of the different thrift shops on the island, like Goodwill, The Salvation Army, Savers and UH Mānoa’s own thrift shop. Cheap buys such as books, kitchen utensils, ofﬁce supplies, bags and clothes can be found at a fraction of their regular price.

ACTIVE WEAR

BOOKS

MOVIES

Ross vs. Sports Authority

Barnes and Noble vs. Shirokiya Book-Off

Netflix vs. DVD or Blu-Ray

Sports Authority is a spot for athletes to buy equipment, protective gear and active wear. The store is diverse and well-organized. However, the prices can be steep for a college student’s budget. For the price of one active top at Sports Authority, you can buy three active tops of various brands at Ross. An orange Adidas active top costs $40 at Sports Authority. At Ross, you can ﬁnd a red active top for $12.99, a gray Avata active top for $9.99 and a white Adidas active top for $12.99. While Ross gives its consumers discounts, it lacks product organization by brand and consistency. In order to take advantage of Ross’ prices, one must be patient in sorting through multiple racks of clothes and be prepared to visit different locations.

Books are common for consumers during the shopping season. For casual readers, book shopping can be intimidating, and consumers can easily waste money. Barnes and Noble is a cohesive store for book lovers. However, the prices at Barnes and Noble can be high for college students. In comparison, locations that offer book sales such as Shirokiya Book-Off, will have discounts at a considerably cheaper price. For example, a copy of Suzanne Collins’ “The Hunger Games” costs $10.99 at Barnes and Noble. For the same price, you can get “The Hunger Games” and a copy of Dan Brown’s “The Da Vinci Code” at Shirokiya’s Book-Off. To save money, a consumer must be prepared to sort through shelves of books. Speciﬁc books may or may not be found. However, the savings will warrant the amount of work required.

With the availability of online movies, one would think that buying movies from stores is outdated. However, seeing one of your favorite movies on a shelf can be tempting. Consumers need to be aware that buying DVDs and Blu-ray is an easy way to throw away money. For example, the popular “The Avengers” movie (HD version) is listed at $19.99 on Amazon. For less than half the price, you can get a month’s subscription to Netﬂix. The popular movie streaming site provides users with hundreds of movies and TV shows, including “The Avengers.” The downside to Netﬂix is that users don’t get to own the movie. Also, while the online site contains a diverse collection, it does not include every movie produced.

I was very happy because I was trying to figure out how I was going to pay for my car after I got my license. I was planning to buy my own car, but my mom surprised me with it. It’s special because it’s my first car, it’s from my mother and it’s probably gotten me through a lot of things throughout my life, such as getting to school and work. I still have it and use it.”

“My grandparents paid for a trip for my entire family to go on a cruise to Mexico during Christmas two years ago. … I got to experience different things with my family and I got to bond with them, so that was fun. Family is what made this gift worth it, because I don’t usually get to see them too often because it was my senior year of high school … so it was like our last time to spend Christmas as a family before I came here [to UH]. A lot of my family work really often so having a week together was pretty good, pretty fun.”

TRISTEN THOMAS SOPHOMORE ART

“The greatest gift I ever received was an art kit that my mom got me a few years back. She got it for my birthday when I was 13. That’s what pretty much pushed me more to study art and become an artist. I draw all the time now and every time I start drawing, it pushes me back to my family and makes me think about them. … I didn’t ask for the art case, she just gave it to me and I was really happy about it. She knew that I liked art; she would always help me. … I still have the art kit. I use it but I don’t have it with me right now. It’s back home. It was too big to bring with the rest of my stuff.

DEBT THREATENS TO DOMINATE GRADUATES’ FINANCIAL FUTURES

SOURCE: ISTOCK 

Many students will still graduate with significant debt at 60 percent of what the average student makes after college. HARRISON PATINO STAFF WRITER

Although the holiday shopping season is upon us, many students won’t be in a position to join the good-obsessed frenzy thanks to the money they already owe. FACING THE FACTS

The graduating class of 2014 was the most indebted in history, and with the way the country’s current education system stands, that trend doesn’t show any signs of slowing down. Currently, the average nationwide debt coming in is well over $30,000 and is only expected to rise according to the Honolulu Star-Advertiser. Now, there’s good news and bad news to this. The good news: Hawai‘i is currently the best state in the country in terms of lowest average student debt (around $17,000) and lowest amount of students graduating with student debt according to the Honolulu Star-Advertiser. Go Bows, right? Well, not exactly. Just because Hawai‘i is the best place to tackle student debt, doesn’t mean it’s not a problem. Regardless of how well Hawai‘i is doing with student debt, many will still graduate with signiﬁcant debt that often comes in at 60 percent

of what the average college graduate makes after college according to the Wall Street Journal.

though admits “not very strictly.” When asked about the possibility of opening up a credit card, Keller

$30,000

What do we make of this? The obvious culprit here is the tremendous cost of college in the United States. Though it may be obvious, the tuition crisis is another political argument entirely. What can be asked, however, is how does this generation deal with that kind of ﬁnancial burden? It’s a bleak conversation to have, and it’s one that resident assistant Megan Keller has to have too often. UNCERTAINTY IN THE FINANCIAL WORLD

“I don’t know. I can’t afford college – even with in-state tuition I can’t afford college. At all,” Keller said. Keller, a junior at University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa who became an RA because of the beneﬁts of the job, says that she’s unsure about her ﬁnancial future outside of college. “I watch my money,” she said,

ﬁnancial problems wouldn’t be uncommon or out of the ordinary for a returning student.

AVERAGE NATIONWIDE DEBT ACCORDING TO THE HONOLULU STAR-ADVERTISER

seemed pessimistic. “I don’t trust myself with credit cards, I don’t know how they work. My parents told me to stay away from it.” “I think it’s really unfortunate that we never learned how to take out a loan or maintain credit or lease a house. They didn’t teach any of that in high school,” she said. Going on to discuss her future, Keller painted a devasting future of post-college debt. “I’m taking out student loans right now and I don’t even know how much I owe or how I’m even going to start paying it off once I get out of school,” she said. This sort of ﬁnancial uncertainty paints a grim picture for college students in general. The saddest part is that this level of ﬁscal burden is by no means uncommon for students two or three years into their college experience. Tara Harms is a track athlete whose

Except Harms isn’t a returning student – she’s an incoming freshman who’s already accepted the certainty of falling into debt. OUT OF THE GATE

“I have to [take out a student loan]. My parents had issues with their credit and couldn’t take one out, so it’s up to me,” Harms said. When asked if she had any prior knowledge in managing independent ﬁnances, Harms admitted, “Without [my parents] I’d be so lost. No one ever really helped me out with that sort of thing.” Harms wasn’t optimistic about the future, either. “It doesn’t feel good. My mom [who is 39] is still paying off hers. I know that she’s struggled to pay for it, sometimes personally.” So if the problem of managing college ﬁnancing comes down to being underprepared for it, then

the question this generation has to ask is clear: “What next?” According to Professor of Accounting, Thomas Pearson, the steps to tackling student debt is more insight than action. “Some students have not prepared to really understand their ﬁnancial [situation],” Pearson said. “There’s always opportunities to look for.” “Some should realize there’s a lot of scholarship opportunities out there – Jay Shidler at the college has really helped grow the scholarship program.” On the road most students embark on to college, however, Pearson was less optimistic. “It’s failed,” Pearson said. “I think high school should include some practical life planning,” he said. “It’s very tough to introduce a new subject into the high school curriculum.” Whether the problem of student debt in this country is a matter of managing personal ﬁnances, playing with the cards you’re dealt with or just stepping, cautiously, into the world of adulthood, the clear takeaway is this: Until the system is changed, student debt is going to be a problem in America for a long, long time.

The culture of Thanksgiving has evolved over the years. Traditions have changed and today, Black Friday has become one of the busiest shopping days in America. Although the holiday has diverged from its simpler traditions, the Black Friday frenzy is just a step towards modern traditions. Anyone familiar with Black Friday in America knows how crazy it can get. Barricades are put up, long lines of people crowd front doors and masses of people rush from store to store. Seeing a multitude of people out and about early in the morning is interesting, and I find a sense of appeal to the chaos. With malls playing Christmas music, and the temperature nice and cool in the early Friday morning, there is a feeling of festivity in the atmosphere. But it’s understandable how this might not be appealing to some. Being surrounded by a group of frenzied shoppers isn’t for everyone. Having worked in retail on Black Friday last year, I’ve experienced how it felt like to work on the most dreaded day for retail employees. I watched as people bumped against one another and the sales floor littered with hangers, shirt inserts and messy clothes. The craze during the Thanksgiving holiday for sales and product discounts is a reflection of how profit-driven the holiday has become, and I’m not disagreeing with that. However, it shouldn’t be seen as the death of old traditions. It’s not challenging to replace the customs that Thanksgiving was built upon. Furthermore, Black Friday shopping has a great impact on the economy. According to

Pinnacle of American regression

the National Retail Federation (NFR), about 20-40 percent of annual sales for retailers happen during the holiday seasons. And although consumer spending on Black Friday has dropped in 2013 compared to 2012 by more than a billion dollars, it is still higher than it was three years ago with an increase of $5 billion from around $52 billion in 2011 to around $57 billion in 2013, based on statistics from the NFR. Today, the thought of Thanksgiving is not without the image of Black Friday shopping and how it is celebrated as a combination of old traditions with modern traditions. However, I’m not an advocate for lining in front of stores early Thursday evening to get the best deals on merchandise. Thanksgiving is still about getting together with friends and family and having a traditional dinner. Going out should come early Friday morning – after the Thanksgiving dinner. Incorporating old traditions with newer traditions isn’t complex. Let’s not look at the unique frenzy that happens every day after Thanksgiving as forgetting and losing the old customs of Thanksgiving, but moving forward and embracing new traditions.

ALEX BITTER EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Aside from the Fourth of July, you would be hard-pressed to find a holiday more emblematic of the United States than Thanksgiving, what with the hearty turkey dinner and football on T.V. It’s more than a little ironic, then, that it has come to share a weekend with Black Friday – a day that, while now rooted in national tradition, has come to represent America’s economic and cultural regression. While Thanksgiving has evolved into a day for appreciating the things one already has, Black Friday represents the pleasure of seeking more material possessions. Even the evolution of the term “Black Friday” suggests this. Originally used by police officers in mid-20th century Philadelphia to describe the chaos caused by throngs of shoppers heading to stores the day after Thanksgiving, the term was later recycled by public relations representatives to refer to the sales, not the crowds. By the 1980s, the association with shopping was well-established. Some companies even began to play off of a rumor that the Friday was so named because it was the first time in the year that retailers operated in the “black” – that is, made a profit. (If that were true, then neither the sales nor the companies that put them on would exist). While the holiday shopping season has become a boon for American retailers, all that shopping contributes to some larger economic problems. Buying children’s toys, discounted tablets and four-dollar crock pots helps tilt our trade balances with the countries that produce these goods, namely

China, even more in their favor. Indeed, imports to the U.S. from China bulge by billions of dollars each year in the months leading up to Christmas. As a result, all those Walmart, Target and Best Buy purchases contribute to an already gargantuan trade deﬁcit with the People’s Republic. Last year alone, the U.S. imported $318 billion more in goods from China than it exported to it, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. That gap is worrying, since it means that more money is leaving the country as opposed to being spent domestically. Bad trade practices aren’t the only consequence of our Black Friday frenzies. Responding to the diehard shoppers who camp out for hours ahead of time – and in chilly temperatures, if you live on the mainland – many retailers have been starting their big sales earlier each year. This year, a variety of big names, including Best Buy, Macy’s and RadioShack, are offering sale deals in-store as early as 8 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day. That’s bad news for their employees, many of whom would have been assured an uninterrupted Thanksgiving a decade or two ago. Instead, these workers will have to spend the holiday working in a degradation of blue-collar work. Moreover, it signals that the Black Friday tradition is eclipsing Thanksgiving. After all, who has time to sit at home and eat when there are $150 laptops at your nearest big box store? This holiday, enjoy your trade-negative, Thanksgiving-killing shopping, if you want. Just remember: it’s changing our country, and not for the better. Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

BLACK FRIDAY SURVIVAL GUIDE

Attics are depleted of dusty ornament boxes, ﬁgures of clay appear in living rooms and the alluring yet tranquilizing sound of Michael Bublé resonates throughout the halls. What better way to celebrate the love of family, generosity, goodwill and a season of joy than by trampling over others to get the best deal on limited items that you don’t need, For some, Holiday shopping is their sole reason for existence, so prepare for war as you partake in an epic battle. This is a guide that will prepare you for the most forsaken battleground known to man “Black Friday.”

IKAIKA SHIVELEY ASSOCIATE FEATURES EDITOR

Possible Assailants

A stern hold on emotion

There are a few individuals you may encounter along your travels to obtain the best deal. Some may be threats, while others are simply just another body to crowd up the lines.

The war fronts that present themselves on Black Friday will test shoppers physically and mentally. From barricades formed out of Walmart employees to lines that travel around the perimeter of the store, there is a lot to endure. Let’s face it: there are so many deals available on Black Friday, it’ll be near impossible to capitalize on everything. Strong willpower and mental insight will keep you from breaking down. Prepare to be disappointed on what’s marketed as one of the most joyous of days.

The friend that doesn’t want to be there This poor person would have rather spent his Friday sleeping in while eating Thanksgiving leftovers. Now, he’s being dragged by his friend out of obligation, while simultaneously ﬁghting a massive hangover. As they lay defeated and abandoned by their so-called “BFF” they regret not sticking to the life-size-cut-out-on-rollerblades plan they thought of the night before.

Martial arts skills Shoppers get territorial during Black Friday, so precautions must be taken. Whether you are apprehending a cart thief or standing your ground as you hold the last HD television, knowledge of martial arts will aid you. It’ll be difﬁcult for your opponents to grab a desired item out of your cart with both arms pinned behind their back.

The irresponsible mother Mommy dearest is here, and she’s ready to play dirty. The fact that she brought her seven kids, including a newborn, is a red ﬂag. Although she has put her children in danger, each one is given a speciﬁc job to aid her in strategically covering the entire store.

The brains

The gear

Chances are this guy or girl has opted to stay home. Deciding to stick to Cyber Monday was the best idea they could ever have, as they avoid the hectic horde of shoppers. Maybe next year you should adopt this trend.

The proper attire should be planned out depending on your strategy. For instance, if you predict a large but slow-moving crowd of shoppers, steel toe boots are advised. The odds of having your toes stepped on by others is high during Black Friday, and these armored shoes will give you protection when faced with the animalistic tendencies of holiday shoppers. Running shoes are another option, especially if you plan on weaving in and out of trafﬁc. Knowing parkour (free-running) is also a plus, as previously viewed obstacles become short-cuts to your destination. With a large number of people, things can get quite loud. As the doors open during the midnight hours, something resembling the stampede scene from “The Lion King” occurs. A simple pair of ear plugs can negate the sound of broken glass, bones cracking and the crushing of dreams. Just remember to be aware of your surroundings since sound has been eliminated from your senses. Bringing a camera is always a smart decision. Whether it’s from your phone or an actual video camera, this tool will deﬁnitely help in a court of law with the possible lawsuits that may arise from the rambunctious event. Having footage will also convey to future generations the true horror that was Black Friday 2014.

The camper This individual has been waiting in front of the store since last Black Friday ended. The fact that they didn’t obtain the hot deal of last year has made them more determined than ever. Fueled off of turkey, gravy and pumpkin pie this shopper will run to their one specifc item. They pose no threat unless you are going after that same product that has a limited count in the store.

Final Thoughts

With the all the bloodshed, tears, broken relationships and other tragic events that come with Black Friday, just remember it’s for an important reason: to get that 90-inch 4k television with Wi-ﬁ and a coffee maker. Happy holidays and a happy new year.

MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTIONS

ONLINE GIFT CARDS

People enjoy reading magazines, but they are reluctant to pay for them. Here’s where you come in, helping to keep print journalism alive and providing ﬁller for your buddy’s coffee table or bathroom. Go on Amazon instead of the individual magazine sites; prices are cheaper, and it’s easier to manage.

Going to the mall becomes increasingly miserable as it gets closer to Christmas. That’s why the Internet exists: to make your life easier. Nearly all major retailers sell online gift cards delivered via email to the friend or family member of your choice. Send them one from Starbucks, Forever 21 iTunes, etc. Where there’s a wireless connection, there’s a way.

TIP: Entertainment Weekly ($30 on Amazon) is good for anyone who likes pop culture, particularly movies and TV shows.

TIP: You can usually time when your gift is notiﬁcation email will go out, but remembering some people don’t check their email on Christmas, so think strategically about when to send.

PEARL HARBOR MEMORIAL ANNIVERSARY PARADE DEC. 7, 6 P.M.-8:30 P.M.

IOU COUPONS If you’re a person of integrity, promise a future gift. “I will take you out to dinner at CPK,” you can tell your friend, legally sealing your vow with a contract, coupon or whatever other creative method you choose. TIP: Keep in mind that In order to be sweet, you have to promise something that beneﬁts your friend, not yourself. If your favor is that they do you a favor, think again.

CONCERT TICKETS Movies are a weekly phenomenon, but people plan for concerts months in advance. If you can think of a band your pal has been dying to see, grab the tickets now, and present the receipt early. Ticketmaster. com, showtix4u.com and jointherepublik.com are good places to search. TIP: You can buy more than concert tickets in advance, look for comedy, theatre or sports if you can’t ﬁnd anything interesting.

“The Theory of Everything” released at Consolidated Kahala 8 on Nov. 21.

A peek behind the scenes of ‘The Theory of Everything’ An interview with producer Anthony McCarten and actor Eddie Redmayne TRICIA KHUN STAFF WRITER

Ka Leo was able to participate in a conference call with the producer and screenwriter of “The Theory of Everything,” Anthony McCarten, and the actor who portrays Stephen Hawking in the film, Eddie Redmayne. The film tells the story of one of the world’s most renowned minds and astrophysicists, Stephen Hawking, and that of his wife, Jane Hawking. Based on Jane’s novel, “Travelling to Infinity: My Life with Stephen,” the film adaptation captures the compelling love story between them as they go beyond the limits of both mind and body. The two-hour film is directed by James Marsh and is produced by Tim Bevan. ‘NOT JUST THE BRILLIANT MAN IN THE MOTORIZED WHEELCHAIR’

McCarten was not only fascinated with Hawking’s scientiﬁc work, but by Hawking’s mental and physical strength, as well as his positivity and witty sense of humor. “He has illuminated physics for the world, and there is a sense of the profound in all his work,” McCarten said in a conference call. McCarten was later introduced to producer Lisa Bruce after com-

pleting multiple drafts of the screenplay. Before reading it, Bruce “[knew] of Stephen Hawking only as the brilliant man in the motorized wheelchair who communicated via a mechanical voice-activated device.” “A lot of people don’t even think about Stephen Hawking’s domestic life, much less know that he walked and talked, and they certainly don’t know that he fathered children,” Bruce said, according to ﬁlm notes provided by Focus Features. “When you look deeper into his life, you see so much more than just the genius: You ﬁnd a father, a husband and — under it all — an eternal optimist.” BECOMING STEPHEN AND JANE

During casting, McCarten wanted to hire “an actor who could show the audience a man evolving over 25 years, going from being fully functional to having the use of only a few muscles.” Having already been familiar with McCarten’s script and having worked with some of the producers of the ﬁlm in other works, Eddie Redmayne was later chosen to portray Stephen Hawking. In order to prepare for his role, Redmayne spent months immersing himself into the world of the Hawkings by researching and visit-

ing Motor Neurone Disease patients at a clinic. He also worked with vocal coach, Julia Wilson-Dickson, and movement director, Alex Reynolds, who helped him to coordinate his movements throughout each stage of the disease. “I felt I had the responsibility of portraying this as a real condition,” Redmayne said in a conference call. “It was truly amazing to watch his evolution as he captured the many layers of both the Stephen we think we know as well as the man behind the image,” Bruce said. As for the role of Jane, filmmakers needed an actress who could meet the emotional and psychological demands that the story required. “All at once, she needed to convey what it was like to love someone who is suffering from a debilitating illness as well as the burdens on her as a lover and on her career,” Marsh said. Felicity Jones was eventually chosen for the role. Similar to Redmayne, Jones was moved by the Hawkings’ story. Months before filming even began, she researched the life of Jane and had the opportunity to meet her. “I was in awe of her determination. She is someone who never gave up,” Jones said, according to film notes provided by Focus Features. “She dedicated her life to

Stephen, but at the same time, retained her own sense of identity.” A NEW OUTLOOK ON LIFE

Redmayne and McCarten have found working on this film to be a very rewarding experience. “How Stephen has managed to live every second of every minute of his life as passionately and as fully as possible has been a great inspiration for me,” Redmayne said. “We forget that we only have one shot at this, and so really trying to live fully is what I’ve taken away from all of this – that is my theory.” “One of the most gratifying things was when we finished making the film,” McCarten said. “Stephen Hawking came to see it. When the film finished, he had tears coming down his cheeks.” Stephen Hawking then provided what McCarten thought to be a great gift – his mechanized voice for the film. Jane Hawking also came to see the film that was based off of her book. “[When] Jane Hawking saw the film, she said she felt like she was floating on air, so this felt like the end of the journey.”

In a world where technology has become increasingly complex and decked with unnecessary features, Canva shows that a program can stick to the fundamentals and still be comprehensive. Canva allows users to create posters, infographics, freestyle designs and more. Design experience isn’t necessary, as the program comes preloaded with hundreds of templates, photos, illustrations and fonts to tinker with. Constructing a visual begins with the selection of a “canvas” (preset size of working ﬁeld) and a template. Templates include background images, banners, logos, infographics and fonts. Alternatively, the user can skip the template and freestyle their work with the available assets. While the number of stock images and illustrations are in the hundreds, there is also the ability for users to upload their own images to use within Canva. Once the images and text are selected on the canvas, each element can be altered, dragged, rotated, resized and blended. Canva designs can either be shared with a link, exported as an image or PDF, or sent to Facebook or Twitter. The program is free to use, but does feature visuals which cost less than $1. The payment is only due once the Canva is published, so users are free to experiment with all elements. Canva is simple, but it is delivered beautifully. The workspace of the program isn’t cluttered, is aesthetically pleasing and there isn’t a steep learning curve due to an extensive tutorial. The program is sometimes prone to glitches, but none that are debilitating. This user-friendly program can churn out professional-looking designs, even if the user doesn’t have an art degree. RATING

Warrior Rec Center’s Zumba classes Fitting for all types of students TORI TOKUNAGA STAFF WRITER

Over the years, Zumba has spread across the nation, combining Latin dance-based movements and upbeat music. The exercise-dance trend has made its way to UH Mānoa’s Warrior Rec Center (WRC) as a free class for all students, faculty and those who have a validated UH ID or pass for the center. Everyone on campus is encouraged to participate in these classes. “Zumba is geared toward everybody … from kids to 99-year-olds. I mean, they teach classes for little kids, too. This is not a kids’ class, but anyone can take it and modify it to their own level,” said Amanda Lewis, one of the instructors for the WRC class. Lewis has just started teaching at the WRC, but has already seen attendance rise over the past couple of weeks. The numbers have been “ramping up from four to ﬁve [people] to 15 a class,” but even though

the numbers are rising, she thinks more students should be taking advantage of this opportunity. “I think there’s probably a lot of people out there who would love to come to Zumba who maybe don’t know [about it] or haven’t tried it yet,” Lewis said. “A lot more people could be coming.” All of the instructors at the Warrior Rec Center have to be certiﬁed

“I thought it was good. I liked [Amanda] … I’ll deﬁnitely come back. I love the music.” The music played in the class has a mixed set list of today’s hip-hop, pop hits and some Latin beats that are easy to dance to. UH Mānoa sophomore, Shayna Makapuai has attended three classes off the island and attended one class at the WRC. Makapuai said that this class, compared to the others she has been to, is “much faster and high-energy.” There are Zumba classes held around the island at various elementary schools, public parks and dance studios, but when making the decision of where you should take a class,

This means they have to ignore the processed banana chips lying next to their freshpicked bananas.

survive. It’s difﬁcult to compare when you put the Paleo Diet into context,” Shovic said. The human body relies on carbohydrates for a source of energy; the brain depends entirely on carbohydrates. Some carbohydrates are stored in the liver, which will be used if there is not enough from the diet. The initial weight loss from the Paleo Diet is thought to be seen from the breakdown of water stored with carbohydrates in the liver.

PALEO PROBLEMS

The introduction of diets is often due to marketing. “There are several hundred diets out there. Someone decides to write a book about a diet and make money off of it,” Shovic said. The Paleo movement was founded by Loren Cordain, author of “The Paleo Diet,” which thousands of people have purchased and even more have followed. “You may see the results you want if you are on the Paleo Diet. It depends, really. You can overeat on anything. Even on the Paleo Diet, if you have too many calories you probably won’t lose any weight,” Shovic said. It was not the intention of the cavemen to create a weight loss program. They hunted, they gathered and they moved on. Though it is simple and appealing, the Paleo Diet has results like any other diet: You snooze you don’t lose, weight that is.

WHY IS PALEO BACK?

LORD-JIM / FLICKR 

The Paleo Diet is supposed to emulate what a diet would have been like 26 million to 10,000 years ago. ANNABELLE LE JEUNE STAFF WRITER

So easy a caveman can do it – the Paleo Diet. WHAT IS THE PALEO DIET?

The name refers to the Paleolithic era, also known as the Stone Age. But why the sudden craze of people in the 21st century seeking the same meal plan as a caveman? “The idea is that if we eat like our ancestors did, we would be healthier,” said Anne Shovic, University of Hawai‘i

at Mānoa Director of Dietetics. The Paleo Diet involves eating like hunter-gatherers before the introduction of agriculture, approximately 10,000 years ago. Foods approved for the Paleo Diet include, but are not limited to: grass-fed meats, ﬁsh and seafood, fruits, vegetables, eggs, roots, nuts, seeds, avocado, coconut and oils. The Paleo Diet excludes the consumption of sugars, dairy, legumes (i.g. peanuts), salt, potatoes and reﬁned foods.

PALEO BENEFITS

Sugary and salty food components are addictive and cause excessive eating. “The Paleo Diet diminishes this addiction,” Shovic said. “The high protein intake found in meats will help satisfy the appetite, and a person will likely not feel as hungry.” The diet is limited to the foods that the hunter-gatherers were able to ﬁnd. Preparation is easy, as a result of the set ways and speciﬁc methods of eating each meal. Dieters don’t have to hunt their

The greatest health risk of the Paleo Diet is the lack of dairy products. Sources of dairy such as cattle and goat were not always around for cavemen. Paleo advocates claim that the calcium balance of bodies can be achieved by eliminating dairy. A lack of calcium can lead to bone thinning and to diseases such as osteoporosis. The human body was not made to deal with the availability of food, but with famine and survival mode. Back then, people tried to hold on to every calorie due to the high caloric loss just by hunting and gathering. The Paleo Diet works for those who are willing to exert the same amount of energy their cavemen ancestors did. Otherwise, there may be a surplus in consumption, which will cause unwanted results. “People back then did not live past 30. They were just trying to

#3DSidewalkArt

#TheMiddlePart

Over the years, technology has allowed artists to express themselves. One of the newest trends, 3-D sidewalk art, creates the illusion of 3-D objects on 2-D surfaces. Artists like Edgar Mueller portray images such as ice caves or cliff ridges just by using some chalk and the sidewalk as his canvas. You are most likely to ﬁnd this type of art work in big cities such as San Francisco and New York City. Keep your eye out for this trend when traveling.

Much like many other trends, this one seems to have found its way back into the 21st century from the 90s. This hair style was popular for girls and guys with long hair about 15 years ago. It’s simple, easy and causes people to focus more on your facial features rather than the placement of your hair. Throughout the years this style became less popular and we started seeing more girls with their hair parted from the side. Now, we are seeing this hair style come back, as history does repeat itself. Try out the middle part and tuck your front hair behind your ear for an innocent, yet sexy, look.

Oh Captain, My Captain Martina Kostolova, the heart of the Rainbow Wahine tennis team.

Kostalova has been dominant in conference play for the Rainbow Wahine, recording a 16-2 record during her first three seasons on the team. JEREMY NITTA ASSOCIATE WEB EDITOR

Senior Martina Kostalova of the Rainbow Wahine tennis team isn’t one to draw attention to herself. Native to Vysoké Tatry, Slovakia, Kostalova mans the No. 3 slot in both singles and doubles, Not a position that garners large amounts of media attention. However, inside Kostalova’s 5’5 frame beats a strong heart, one that prompted teammate Sarah Gealer to describe her as “the hardest worker on the team,” and one that the team hopes will lead them to a Big West title.

“I wanted to be a skier,” Kostalova said. “But after a few practices, the coach disappeared, and nothing was going on. And then Kate’s dad started taking her to play tennis, and after a while more kids started signing up with him so my parents signed me up to play tennis too.” Despite the somewhat unconventional methods through which Kostalova wound up in Hawai‘ i playing tennis, she has no regrets

“The experience of being in college and playing sports is great, but I feel I am really fortunate to have been able to do it in Hawai‘i.”

COMING TO HAWAI‘I

Kostalova’s journey to Mānoa, as well as her path to playing tennis, happened almost by accident. Kostalova knew what she wanted to do in her future after high school, but she wasn’t sure where it would take her. “Before I even started high school, I knew I wanted to go to college in the U.S.,” Kostalova said. “If I didn’t turn pro, I wanted to go to college because that was a way to continue to play tennis.” A childhood friend of Kostalova, former Wahine tennis player Katarina Poljakova signed with Hawai‘i while Kostalova was still in Slovakia, paving the way to Mānoa. “My friend Kate was on the team before, and we grew up together,” Kostalova said. “She came here ﬁrst, and also, her dad was my coach, so that’s how I wound up here.” Kostalova’s decision to play tennis happened largely by circumstance.

record of 58 wins and 37 losses in singles play, and 42 wins against 41 losses in doubles. Last year, Kostalova hit her stride during the Big West season, running off a perfect 6-0 singles record in conference play, part of a 10-match win streak in singles. In doubles, Kostalova notched an 11-12 record, playing most of her matches with newcomer Gealer. Gealer, who went 9-8 as Kostalo-

of what it has reaped. “The experience of being in college and playing sports is great, but I feel I am really fortunate to have been able to do it in Hawai‘i,” Kostalova said. “A lot of people save money for years to be able to come here for a holiday, and I get to be here and go to the beach whenever I want.” REPPING THE WAHINE

Kostalova’s career got off to a great start when she arrived at UH in the fall of 2011. “My freshman year, that was the year we won the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) Championship, and I had a chance to help clinch it for us,” Kostalova said. “So that was a great year.” Since then, Kostalova has enjoyed her career as a Rainbow Wahine. Prior to this season, Kostalova had collected a career

va’s partner, had high praise for her senior teammate. “She is very reliable,” Gealer said. “You know for a fact that she’s always giving 100 percent and that she is someone who will never give up. As for her game, her style is very consistent. She is someone who you know will always be steady, whether she’s at the net or behind you at the baseline.” Kostalova’s ﬁnal season hasn’t gotten off to the start she had hoped for, opening with a 2-4 mark in singles and a 1-3 record in doubles. But she believes the problem isn’t in her play and will be remedied quickly. “I really wanted to do well, like better than in previous years,” Kostalova said. “But I think that it was holding me back a little bit. I think I was putting a little too much pressure on myself. I wasn’t doing

well, but I’ve told myself that things can’t get any worse. And after that, I started to have more fun, and things got a lot better.”

FACTOIDS

LIVING THE HI LIFE

Off the court, Kostalova and the other Rainbow Wahine can be found hanging out together in their self-proclaimed family. “We’re a small team you know, so because of that, I think that we are even more close with each other,” Kostalova said. “All the girls get along really well. We see each other so often, in weightlifting and practices and whatnot, but even so, we always end up hanging together in free time.” And according to her teammates, Kostalova is as good a friend as you can ﬁnd. “Marty, off the court, is really like how she is on it; you know she’s reliable,” Gealer said. “If you need her, or if you need someone to talk to, she’s always there and gives you her insight and opinion. She’s honest about everything, but she does things that are in your best interest. Plus she’s fun, of course.” Kostalova will complete her athletic eligibility after the spring and will spend one more year at UH to complete her degree in Travel Industry Management. Even with the end of her time as a Rainbow in sight, Kostalova is hopes that her time in Hawai‘ i is just beginning. “With Travel Industry being so big here, I’m hopeful that I’ll be able to ﬁnd a job here and stay,” Kostalova said. “Staying in Hawai‘ i that would be perfect.” Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

JOEY IOSEFA RUNNING BACK

Invictus How the Warriors sent off its seniors in glory DAVID MCCRACKEN ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

The University of Hawai‘i Rainbow Warriors offense ran over the University of Nevada, Las Vegas Rebels this past Saturday night, accumulating 348 rushing yards as a team; the most rushing yards in a single game for the Warriors since 2009. The Warriors rushing attack led UH to its second consecutive victory and fourth of the season; the highest number of wins head coach Norm Chow has ever had in a single season. Coming into Saturday’s matchup against UNLV, the Warriors averaged 135.4 yards a game with a 3.5 yards per carry average. Against the Rebels, the ‘Bows totaled 348 rushing yards on 65 attempts for a 6.2 average yards per carry; all season highs. In contrast, UNLV rushed for 51 yards on 26 attempts, sporting a 2.0 yards per carry average against Hawai‘i despite averaging 129.5 yards a game and 3.5 yards per carry as a team on the season.

touchdowns. In addition to his two rushing touchdowns against UNLV, Iosefa also threw for a score which allowed his fellow senior teammates to go out in winning style. “It feels good. This is all we want as a senior, to go out with a [win],” Iosefa said. “We still have one more [game], but it’s still a great feeling.” Iosefa’s 219 yards marked a new career high and the sixth best rushing performance by a Rainbow Warrior in the program’s history. He was just behind former fullback Wilbert Haslip for ﬁfth place all time, falling two yards short of Haslip’s rushing performance back in 1977 when he rushed for 221 yards against the University of Idaho. Iosefa wasn’t alone in his production, however, as Saint Juste ran for 81 yards on 11 carries for a 7.4 yards per carry average, including a 52-yard touchdown gallop down the sideline. Saturday’s game marked the second highest yardage total of the season for Saint Juste, and he is now second on the team with three rushing touchdowns on the year.

RUN JOEY RUN

MVP: MOST VALUABLE PUNTER

The Warriors were led in rushing by senior running back Joey Iosefa, who celebrated his final game in Aloha Stadium with a career performance, totaling 219 yards on 35 carries with two rushing touchdowns. His 35 carries tied the UH record for most rushing attempts in a single game that was set by Nu’u Fa’aola on Nov. 30, 1985. It was the second time this season that Iosefa carried the rock at least 30 times in a game, but marked the first time that he has rushed for 200 yards all season. Iosefa was the first Warrior running back to rush for more than 100 yards since Diocemy Saint Juste ran for 135 yards against Wyoming on Oct. 11, and leads all Warrior running backs with nine rushing

Warrior punter Scott Harding met his match against UNLV punter Logan Yunker. Both punters were on the pre-season Ray Guy Award watch list, and have been able to dictate the opposing team’s ﬁeld position all season long. Harding punted eight times this past Saturday, pinning the ball inside the 20-yard line on two occasions while Yunker punted nine times, pinning the ball inside the 20 on ﬁve occasions. Combined, both punters amassed 683 yards on 17 punts. While Yunker’s performance provided a silver lining for the Rebels in what was a tough loss, Harding has been the spotlight of Hawai‘ i’s success this season. He now has 81 punts on the year, just one punt away from tying Chad Shrout’s

record of 82 punts set back in 1998 for the most punts in a single season in UH history. In addition, Harding has also pinned the ball within his opponent’s 20-yard line a total of 32 times this season. Through 12 games, Harding and his special teams unit has only allowed a total of 30 yards on punt returns; ranked third in the nation.

“It’s never been about me and it’s always been about the players. To know the feeling that they have as they see their parents, loved ones, and friends on the ﬁeld, it means all the world to them.” NORM CHOW HEAD COACH

Beyond the Score

VICTORIOUS CHOW

The Warriors said farewell to 22 of its seniors on senior night, and their teammates gave them an early graduation present: a win. Winning on senior night has been a consistent element of Chow’s tenure, believe it or not, as he is 3-0 on UH senior nights. “It’s great that we got the [win],” senior defensive lineman Moses Samia said. “There’s no better way to go out than like that. We gotta fight and never quit and we showed that today. I’m happy for the seniors, that we got a victory on this field for our last home game.” Chow has now won back-to-back games for the first time since 2012, his first season at the helm of the football program. This does mark, however, the first time that Chow has been able to guide his football team to a victory on the road, and then carry that momentum into a home victory. His record is 8-28 over the course of three seasons. Eleven of those games have been decided by one possession, but Chow has lost seven of those games. Saturday’s win over UNLV was the just the fourth win decided by one possession in Chow’s time at UH. In his career against UNLV, Chow is 2-1 with his last victory against the Rebels coming almost exactly two years to the day, on Nov. 24, 2012.

When not working at the Warrior Rec Center, Bain benches 315 lbs.

REC CENTER SPOTLIGHT

Aaron Bain believes in process and progress DENNIS PALMA CASTILLO STAFF WRITER

He can bench 315 lbs. without breaking a sweat at the Warrior Recreation Center (WRC). But there’s much more to Aaron Bain than just the guy who works out at the WRC. He’s an intellect with a methodical approach to ﬁtness and health. “I program my own workouts,” Bain said. “But I do a lot of reading and a lot of trial and error. I’m able

where you had to be there in the Aloha Stadium to see and feel what was going on,” Bain said. “The whole vibe and energy of the state was simply something else at the time. No matter where we went people were showing a ton of love and support, even on the mainland people would be coming out of the wood works to come and show support.” In 2008, his last year playing for UH, he appeared in all 14 games and earned Most Valuable Player honors

to assess what happened, evaluate and learn from the process.” For all of the aggression Bain has to exert to execute a heavy lift, he’s nice and approachable. There’s no “who can curl more” contests when you’re working out around him. Bain is all about smiles and good gym etiquette. “Being born and raised here, I wanted to make sure that I gave back to the place I came from,” he said. “I love working at the WRC and with the students on campus.” He doesn’t brag or mention his accomplishments, although he’s had an active history at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. Bain was a member of the Rainbow Warrior football team from 2005-08. He appeared in eight games during Hawai‘i’s 2007 season, the year the team went undefeated in the regular season and played Georgia in the Sugar Bowl. “The 2007 season was unbelievable. It’s just one of those things

for UH in the Sheraton Hawai‘i Bowl after setting a career high with eight catches for 109 yards and two touchdowns against Notre Dame. He finished his UH football career with 62 receptions, 718 yards and nine touchdowns. “I learned the foundations of strength and conditioning here at UH Mānoa during my undergraduate career as a football player,” Bain said. “I first trained with the bodybuilding mentality all throughout high school, and when I hit college, my whole mindset changed. It then became about transitioning the strength you have in the gym to produce on the field at a high level.” Though Bain’s playing career for UH is over and he’s already completed his bachelor’s degree in sociology, he still has unfinished business here at UH. Bain is currently working towards his master’s degree in higher education with an emphasis in educa-

tional administration. He’s also an employee of the Student Recreation Services Department serving as operations coordinator. Though he doesn’t compete in any sports now, Bain still has the work ethic and dedication to stay ﬁt and healthy. “I simply train to train,” he said. “I like pushing myself physically. My approach has always been to view everything from an athlete’s perspective. In that sense, I’m able to lay out my goals, establish a training regimen on how to succeed, and go about work with the mindset with the mindset of how to go about ‘winning.’ At the end of the day, even if I don’t ‘win,’ I can still learn and move on growing from those experiences as a better individual than I was yesterday.” FACTOID

For Morgan Mason, it was only a matter of time before she exploded onto the scene. The crowd was deathly silent at the buzzer when the Rainbow Wahine basketball team defeated the Denver Pioneers last week Sunday in Denver, Colorado. Led by Mason, the Wahine took the air out of the building. Scoring the final 12 points in the fourth quarter, in a career-high 23-point performance, it was evident that Mason had stepped into the spotlight. She felt more comfortable in her development not only as a basketball player but as a leader for her team. “I just feel a lot more confident on the ball this year,” Mason said. “Last year, I was trying to get to know people, and I had to play around specific people. This year, as a senior, I’ve become more of an offensive threat, but over the summer, I worked on my leadership skills and being able to talk more, which has really played into my game this season.” Last year was Mason’s rookie season with the University of Hawai‘i women’s basketball program but in reality, she was a 5'9 junior transfer out of Mt. San Antonio College. Mason played her freshman and sophomore seasons at Mt. San Antonio College in her hometown of Los Angeles, California. She helped lead the Mounties to back-to-back state championships and conference titles. As a freshman, she was named Most Valuable Player at the state tournament and the Mounties ‘Rookie of the Year. In 2013, Mason averaged 6.2 points and 3.8 rebounds while averaging 23 minutes per game in 30 appearances for the Rainbow Wahine. “Last year, it was all about the game pace,” Mason said. “It was a lot faster than I expected coming from JUCO. But because I got better conditioning and adjusted to the game, it’s been a lot easier this year.” Rainbow Wahine head coach Laura Beeman felt that Mason didn’t hit the ground running in her first season at UH, but has steadily improved over the course of a year. “That’s what you want when you bring a junior college player in,” Beeman said. “They have to be an impact player and they have to continue to get better. It’s about the tangibles

and the intangibles and she has done exactly what she was supposed to do in the off-season. Now, she’s a real viable part of our team.” As of this past Saturday, Mason has averaged 12.7 points and 6.3 rebounds in 28 minutes per game in three games played. Due in part to her play, the ‘Bows were 2-0 for the first time since the 2002-2003 campaign and are 2-0 on the road for the first time in the program’s history. Because of her efforts on the court for the ‘Bows against Colorado State, Mason was awarded the Big West Women’s Basketball Player of the Week honor, the first time she has received it in her career. “It was a shock,” Mason said. “It was coach [Beeman] who actually told me first so I was pretty surprised.” To Beeman, however, she was less shocked than Mason about the award, as she has watched Mason blossom as a player and as a senior on her team. “You know, it’s all the things that you can see, and all the things you can’t see,” Beeman said. “The stats, they don’t lie; 23 points, seven rebounds, four assists; you can see that on paper. Even someone who doesn’t understand basketball knows that this young lady had a great game, but it’s all the things that aren’t on the stat sheet … it’s the composure she has when the ball is in her hands, it’s getting into her teammates to pick up and go and keep your composure, and it’s really those things not on the stat sheet that really paid off for us this past weekend.” As Mason continues to improve as an offensive threat, her leadership abilities will be tested throughout the course of the season. Mason is pleased that she has helped her team to a 2-1 start, but she is even more optimistic and excited for what the future holds for her and the ‘Bows for the rest of the season. “I see this season being so amazing,” Mason said. “We’re gonna push through so many boundaries and limits against other teams that I don’t think people are ready to see what we have. We have so much depth from everybody across the board. If [opposing teams] scout one person, then another person can go off on the next night. It’s gonna be amazing to be watch.”

You don’t know Beau Hawai‘i’s defensive leader on success and earning respect

LYLE AMINE / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

Yap leads the Warrior defense with 3.5 sacks this season. KEOLA KALUHIOKALANI STAFF WRITER

In a rollercoaster of a season filled with emotional highs and lows, injuries, tough breaks and financial woes, defensive lineman Beau Yap has been a pillar of consistency for the University of Hawai‘i Rainbow Warrior football team. “Since day one he’s been one of our best players,” position coach Lewis Powell said. “He’s become one of my favorite guys. He’s versatile, he can play end, linebacker and even nose guard. One game two years ago, he played 117 snaps. That’s the most snaps I’ve ever heard of one kid playing, especially on the ‘d-line.’ It’s pretty intense the things that go on down there in the trenches. But he did his job, he didn’t complain. That’s just how Beau is.” Earlier in the season in UH’s loss Nevada, the Warrior defense was on the field for almost 25 out of a possible 30 minutes in the second half. Rather than give in to fatigue, Yap played with more energy. “It’s just my nature; never giving up,” Yap said. “Just trying to do what I need for the team. When the games on the line, we gotta get more hungry to get to the ball.” Fellow defensive teammate and senior safety Taz Stevenson had further praise for the captain. “He’s a great leader, a great captain of the squad,” Stevenson said. “He shows it in the game. His energy is unstoppable. From watching film, he was the only guy left going 110 percent in the fourth quarter trying to finish the game no matter what the score was.” EARLY DAYS

A native of Hawai‘i, Yap graduated from Kamehameha schools before arriving at UH Mānoa. At

Kamehameha, Yap lettered in three sports: football, wrestling and track and field. Yap came out of high school highly recruited as the 2009 co-defensive player of the year, allstate selection and member of the Kamehameha Warriors HHSAA state championship team. However, he did not commit to Hawai‘ i first. After first committing to Baylor during his recruiting visit there, Yap visited UH and Oregon State before finally calling the Hawai‘ i coaches to inform them that he wanted to continue his playing on the islands, following in the footsteps of his father, Boyd Yap. Boyd Yap led the Kamehameha Warriors to an Interscholastic League of Honolulu title in 1978 and an invitation to the O‘ahu Prep Bowl where the team came short of what is widely considered the old Hawai‘i State Championship. The following year, Boyd transferred to Kaiser High School where he ran over 1,000 yards at the running back position and was crucial in Kaiser’s victory in the 1979 O‘ahu Prep Bowl. Boyd was named to the all-state team in his senior year and continued his career at UH Mānoa. “I think the biggest thing he had an effect on was my work ethic,” Yap said. “He pushed me and taught me how to be a hard worker, a good player and just to have the right attitude.” MOTIVATION

Not many people would consider a 6’2, 260-pound grown man, small. However, in a sport that continues to glorify physical measurables of height, weight, speed and strength, and deify those who ﬁt “the football mold,” Yap is undersized. “Because of my size, I like to compare myself to James Harrison or Elvis Dumervil because we’re

all the same height level and have the same disadvantages,” Yap said. “They’re great players, and I would love to be as good as they are.” The three players share another thing in common. They all wear the number 92 on their jerseys when they take the ﬁeld.

YAPPIN’ ABOUT BEAU WHAT IS IT LIKE TO COACH BEAU?

RESPECT OF THE TEAM

One of the players Yap has developed a close relationship with on and off the ﬁeld is fellow senior defensive lineman Moses Samia. Yap and Samia were rivals in high school. Samia, a product of St. Louis high school, says that those feelings of rivalry are long gone. “We still go at each other when St. Louis and Kamehameha play, but that’s my brother right there,” Samia said. “Now that we’re at the college level, none of that matters. We talk about it sometimes when we bring up the good old days, but Beau’s a good guy.” Playing next to a player like Yap gives Samia the motivation and drive to continue to work hard. “He does good and I feed off of him,” Samia said. “He’s pretty much the anchor and the star of our defense. Where he goes, we all go. He’s an awesome leader.” In any aspect of life, no one truly knows you like your opponent. One of Yap’s opponents on a daily basis is former NFL offensive lineman Chris Naeole, who happens to be the current offensive line coach for the Warriors. However, Naeole had nothing but praise for the defensive end. “Beau is smart, ﬁrst and foremost,” Naeole said. ‘He’s a smart player, high motor. He’s never gonna quit. He’s a leader and guys will follow him. I love watching the kid practice and play every day. So I’m excited every time I see Beau.” Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

LEWIS POWELL DEFENSIVE LINE COACH

“It’s like coaching a coach. From day one when we got here the kid has had the best work ethic. He knows what to do, it’s like having a coach out there. It’s awesome and we’re going to miss having him when he leaves after this year. All he does is the right thing. As we’ve been going he’s becoming a more vocal leader.”

WHAT DOES BEAU BRING TO THE TEAM? “He’s a great leader. He does his job, he does what he’s supposed to do, he’s a captain and he makes sure that everyone is on top of it. When times get rough and times get hard, he’s right in there trying to get us up.” BENNETTON FONUA LINEBACKER

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT BEAU NOT BEING VOCAL? “His actions speak for themselves. He lets his play do all the talking. You have guys that use their voice and others that use what they do. Beau is that guy that leads by example.” MOSES SAMIA DEFENSIVE LINEMAN

WHAT IS SOMETHING THAT IRRITATES YOU ABOUT BEAU? “His glasses. When he wears his glasses to lift sometimes I look at him and I’m like ‘what is Beau wearing right now.’”
