14 years after medical marijuana law took effect, patients still can’t buy it legally

Kōkua Hawai‘ i Foundation receives EPA Environmental Award

It’s been 14 years since Hawai‘i lawmakers made medical marijuana legal, but patients in need of the drug are still having difﬁculties because there are no legal ways to buy marijuana in the state. Due to the fact that State lawmakers did not change Hawai‘i’s law to legalize the sale of marijuana, medical marijuana patients have to grow their own plants. But buying marijuana seeds to plant is still illegal in Hawai‘i. Public hearings will be held in the next few weeks to discuss new laws to establish a “statewide dispensary system for medical marijuana.” Source: Hawaii News Now

The Warrior Recreation Center has been on campus security’s radar recently, as three incidents of identity fraud and one incident of harassment were reported this week. Sarah Rice, community program manager for the Department of Safety, is advising students to not lend their IDs to fellow students to

use for services – examples include paying for food, catching the bus or using the Warrior Recreational Center. “Don’t give out your ID card to anyone,” Rice said. “Not only because it constitutes theft of services, but also because it can potentially cause a student to get in trouble with the university.”

Bley-Vroman: ‘I hadn’t thought of doing this’ But faculty say he’s been interested in administration before

SHANE GRACE / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

When he is not in Hawai‘ i Hall, Robert Bley-Vroman rings bells at St. Andrews Cathedral in downtown Honolulu. ALEX BITTER EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

When he ﬁrst started college, Robert Bley-Vroman was a chemistry major. Then, after taking a required German course, he decided to change his area of study to Germanics – an area that includes tongues related to modern German. “I discovered that there was a relationship between chemistry and grammar,” he said in an interview with Ka Leo. “Elements of a sentence combine together in the way that atoms combine to make molecules.” Now, the former dean of UH Mānoa’s College of Languages, Linguistics and Literature (LLL) is leaving that academic background for the next year to take the chancellery vacated by Tom Apple, who was ﬁred in July. BALANCING THE BUDGET

Bley-Vroman assumed the position on Sept. 1. Foremost among the challenges the former chair of UHM’s Department of Second Language Studies faces is balancing the campus’ budget and thawing a hiring freeze instituted over the summer to control spending. Part of the cause behind Mānoa’s ﬁnancial problems, the chancellor said, was the reliance on reserve

funds to balance each year’s budget. “It’s as if you notice that you used to have $10,000 in your bank account last year and now you have $8,000, and the next year you have $6,000 and the next year $4,000,” Bley-Vroman said. “You’re not broke yet, but clearly, you need to stabilize.” Reductions in Mānoa’s sources of revenue and increasing costs, such as budget cuts made by the legislature and collective bargaining agreements, are beyond the university’s control, he said, even though they have a large influence on the budget. Other expenses, such as the $15 million renovation of Edmondson Hall and its biology facilities, were one-time costs that won’t continue to weigh on the budget, he said. Building off of his predecessor’s Campuswide Conversations, Bley-Vroman said he plans to hold a public forum on the budget later this semester. Right now, he said, he is working with other administrators familiar with the budget, including Vice Chancellor for Administration, Finance and Operations Kathy Cutshaw, to come up with a presentation that explains Mānoa’s financial issues. Aside from the budget, Bley-Vroman said he wants to make sure the academic environment at UH remains “collegial,” something he says he noticed when he first came to the Second Language Studies

department in 1987. “Every morning, some faculty member would stroll down the hall and say ‘coffee time’ and people get together and we would talk about articles we had read or things we wanted to do,” he said.

responsibility to go down a path, and there is no alternative but to do so.” Still, he did not dismiss the idea of seeking the permanent chancellor position. “I take things one day at a time,” he said. “I’ve told my college that I

“(As chancellor), he might bring people together and address some of the issues.” -NOEL KENT PROFESSOR OF ETHNIC STUDIES

“That impressed me very much. I think we really need to aim somehow to create that.” DRIVEN TO LEAD?

Speaking to Ka Leo, the chancellor emphasized that he was a last-minute selection in the wake of Apple’s ﬁring. “I really hadn’t thought of doing this,” he said of being chancellor, echoing an email he sent to LLL faculty shortly after UH President David Lassner appointed him to Mānoa’s chancellery Aug. 14. In that message, Bley-Vroman said he doesn’t plan on serving as Mānoa’s chancellor for more than two years. He also said he did not ask to be appointed to the ofﬁce. “I did not seek this position,” he said. “There are a few occasions in life where one feels that one has a

plan to be back in the fall, (but) one never knows what the future holds.” Bley-Vroman served as chair of the Mānoa Faculty Senate (MFS) during the 2005-2006 school year. His tenure as the senate’s head saw a few key decisions at the Mānoa campus, including overseeing the selection of Economics professor Denise Konan as interim chancellor. As chair, Bley-Vroman also mediated a debate over establishing a University Afﬁliated Research Center (UARC) for the U.S. Navy at UH. The center, which was ultimately approved by the Board of Regents in September 2007, was unpopular among members of the senate. Noel Kent, a professor of Ethnic Studies who served on the MFS Executive Committee with Bley-Vroman, said he proved to be an able

mediator during the debate. The proposed center was the subject of several senate meetings during Bley-Vroman’s term, according to senate minutes. “It was a hot issue,” he said. “He mediated it thoughtfully, very intelligently. (As chancellor), he might bring people together and address some of the issues.” Kent said he didn’t know then whether Bley-Vroman aspired to become chancellor, but he was interested in the deanship of the College of Languages, Linguistics and Literatures while he was on the senate. “He was very interested in becoming dean,” he said. Robert Littman, chair of UH’s classics program, said he was happy to hear Bley-Vroman had been selected for the interim chancellor position and would like to see his former dean stay on as the campus’s permanent chancellor. “He listens, he gets things done,” he said, pointing to Bley-Vroman’s role in securing a grant for UH’s Persian Language, Linguistics and Culture program, which launched its ﬁrst classes last fall. As dean, Littman said Bley-Vroman also advocated for faculty looking for funding for their own research. “He seems to be an advocate for the faculty,” he said.

ASUH candidates mend ties after election squabble Nishihara, Nguyen say they’re over spring’s complaints

MEAKALIA PREVICH-LIU / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

The 102nd ASUH Senate is headed by President Stephen Nishihara. Martin Nguyen, who ran against him for presidency, is charing the External Affairs Committee. MATHEW URSUA STAFF WRITER

Even after a months-long quarrel over broken rules, unofficial voter drives and alleged conflicts of interest, ASUH’s president is working with his one-time accuser Martin Nguyen. Stephen Nishihara, now the president of ASUH, said he doesn’t like the ugliness that comes with politics. “I find it distasteful,” he said. Winning the presidential election by a margin of 16 votes spelled the beginning of Nishihara’s challenges. As he turned his attention to the presidency, Nishihara came face-toface with complaints and accusations from runner-up Nguyen. Nguyen alleged that Nishihara and his running mates abused their positions to get an unfair edge in the race, and that they violated ASUH rules and regulations in doing so. Nguyen’s complaints sparked an investigation into Nishihara’s E-Team coalition. The investigation culminated in a committee’s decision to mandate Nishihara and other E-Team members write letters of apology.

April’s ASUH election saw candidates form coalitions – groups of students creating virtual political parties, each with its own message and platform. Nishihara, who won the presidential race, was a part of the E-Team coalition . In late April, after Nguyen complained, Nishihara told Ka Leo he wasn’t guilty and denied Nguyen’s allegations. Nishihara also said that the elections results were official because the votes were ratified, and that the people spoke their minds. “We conducted our campaign accordingly to the rules,” Nishihara said, “People will see what they want to see, find what they want to find. Fact of the matter is that the people’s voices were heard, and their votes were cast.” Nguyen said becoming president – something that could have happened starting with Nishihara’s ouster – was secondary to his other objective: to ensure future elections are fairer. Nguyen said he was trying to show ASUH candidates-to-be that they couldn’t get away with

breaking the rules. “I didn’t want a precedent to be set that people can use these backdoor actions to get ahead of other parties,” Nguyen said. “I knew becoming president was going to be a long shot, but my number one goal was to stop the precedent.” “Being president was on my mind, but I didn’t expect it,” Nguyen said In early May, E-Team candidates penned their letters to apologize for breaking the rules.

when he was a senator for the College of Engineering, but that his proposals were shot down. Nishihara said many ASUH members opposed him because they felt that elections rules should be open to interpretation by the chair. Nishihara said he wanted to foster an environment where the rules weren’t constantly changing due to different interpretations. “Those affected would be the ones running for ofﬁce,” he said.

“We acknowledge our differences, but we’re moving forward to serve the students.” – MARTIN NGUYEN SPRING ASUH PRESIDENT ELECTION RUNNER-UP

Nishihara acknowledged that the trial council – known as the triers of facts – might revisit the issue because the letters weren’t sincere enough. Nishihara said his letter was sincere. But he also said that writing is subjective. “I can’t please everyone,” Nishihara said. Nishihara said he pushed to change elections rules last year

Now, nearly a month into the semester, both Nishihara and Nguyen say their relationship is amiable. Nishihara said there’s always room to grow as a leader, and that this year’s senate has been successful because of the team effort from everyone on the executive board to the ofﬁce staff. “I know (Nguyen)’s a smart guy and a hard worker, which is why I

placed him as committee chair of external affairs. Our willingness to work together for the betterment of our constituents and to best represent ASUH is what has helped bring us to a point where we are now on a professional and personal level,” Nishihara said. “What we do is not about us, but those that we serve.” Nguyen, now an ASUH senator for the business college, said he gets along with Nishihara. “I’ve known Stephen for a while, we went to high school together,” Nguyen said. “We both walk away shaking hands. We acknowledge our differences, but we’re moving forward to serve the students.” Over 830 cast their votes in the four way race between Nishihara, Nguyen, Ryan Mandado, and Priya Rashid. The top three candidates in April’s presidential elections each had around 30 percent of the votes. Rashid came in fourth, bringing in 12 percent of the votes. Nishihara won by a margin of 16 votes, bringing in 262 over Nguyen’s 246.

Hello Kitty is a British girl, not a cat BRIAN CHEUNG STAFF WRITER

It’s not a new discovery that Hello Kitty is not a cat, according to anthropology Professor Christine Yano. Sanrio, Hello Kitty’s creator, told Yano that Hello Kitty is not a cat but a girl. According to KHON2, this news shocked Hello Kitty fans everywhere. “I think people are more surprised when they hear the news because it is not a new discovery that Hello Kitty is not a cat,” Yano said in a phone interview. “Sanrio created her story for decades.” Sanrio never considered Hello Kitty a cat. According to the company’s website, Hello Kitty is “a bright little girl with a heart of gold” who lives outside London with her family and friends. A GIRL OR A CAT

Yano made this discovery when she

submitted a script she wrote, describing the character as “Sanrio’s iconic cat” for an exhibition on Hello Kitty’s 40th anniversary. “Sanrio designed Hello Kitty as a British girl. She is a character. But she is not a cat. Even she looks like a cat, but she acts like a two-legged creature,” Yano said. “Kitty is a name; it’s not necessary (for Hello Kitty) to be a cat. Sanrio never designed her as a cat.” Sanrio has had a detailed story for Hello Kitty for decades. According to Sanrio’s Characters Timeline, she was born on Nov. 1 and is a daughter of George and Mary White. She is “tall as ﬁve apples and as heavy as three.” She has a twin sister named Mimmy and a boyfriend named Daniel Starr. She even has a pet Persian cat named Charmmy Kitty.” “Hello Kitty has kept her popularity through generations since the 70s, but people care less about the whole story behind her,” she said.

The exhibition on Hello Kitty’s 40th anniversary will be held at the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles from Oct. 11 through April 26. According to Sanrio, the exhibition will show the evolution of Hello Kitty through a mix of rare and iconic pieces. It will have lectures, panel discussions and workshops to explore facets and to provide hands-on activities related to Hello Kitty. HELLO KITTY SCHOLAR

Yano has been studying Hello Kitty since 1998 as part of her professional focus on Japanese popular culture. “It is interesting,” Yano said. “(Hello Kitty) is part of my study ﬁeld. Especially since she is a longtime fashion icon in Asia and America.” She published her research last year in a book titled “Pink Globalization: Hello Kitty’s Trek across the Paciﬁc.” According to KHON2, she interviewed different Hello Kitty fans in her book, and con-

cluded that Hello Kitty was created with a great deal of ﬂexibility and creativity. She said Sanrio wants to emphasize the creative background story of Hello Kitty, which has been established for a long time, but hasn’t been well known by her (Hello Kitty) fans. As an anthropology professor, Yano is interested in how popular cultures are constructed and sustained, along with their interaction with nationalism and globalism. She speciﬁcally focuses on Japanese music and is currently researching enka, a genre of Japanese popular music. She is a visiting professor from Harvard’s Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies for this academic year and teaches an Asian American studies class. SHE’S NOT A CAT

UH Mānoa students had mixed reactions regarding the news that Hello Kitty was in fact not a cat.

Louis Laurito, a mechanical engineering major, said that he still thinks that Hello Kitty is a cat. “She looks like a cat. I never thought she’s something else,” he said. He said he heard about Yano’s book on the character but is not aware of what it talks about. “I saw her everywhere,” he said. “I think she’s just a cute cat from anime. I’m shocked.” However, some people didn’t pay much attention to it. William Wang, an Asian studies student, was confused when he heard the news, but added that Sanrio has the right to explain its reasoning. “Sanrio produced Hello Kitty. The ofﬁcials can make up any stories as they like,” Wang said. “They can even (say) Hello Kitty’s dad is a skunk. … Hello Kitty is just a character. Even though she’s popular, I’m not concerned if she’s cat or other species. The designer can make her anything.”

Kim seeks to build natural disaster preparedness in Hawai‘ i MEAKALIA PREVICH-LIU ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

The National Domestic Preparedness Consortium (NDPC) needs to better understand the natural disasters likely to strike Hawai‘i, said the group’s new chair. Karl Kim, who was approved for a three-year term as chair of the NDPC, said the program could make improvements in recognizing the need to “connect science, technology, culture and deep understanding of the people of Hawai‘i.” The national center has trained 1,680 ﬁrst responders and emergency managers in Hawai‘i alone, and more than 12,000 across 200 plus cities in the U.S., according to Kim. Despite this number, he believes that more needs to done in Hawai‘i. “Train more students and residents,” Kim said. “Develop more courses. Increase enrollments in our UH Disaster Management and Humanitarian Assistance (DMHA) program. Make disaster resilience an imperative.” BEING PREPARED IN HAWAI‘I

Kim said the focus of NDPC is natural hazards on coastal communities, islands and territories, and remote isolated places. Future plans will focus on Hawai‘i and the research that’s been done about different types of hazards such as volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis and coastal storms like hurricanes. “A lot of our work involves making the connection between the science and policy, but also, very importantly, the culture and the ways in which communities have managed risk,” Kim said in a phone interview. With Hawai‘i as prone as it is to storms during the hurricane season,

Kim believes that disasters are “peakable” moments that can reveal what works and what does not work, in terms of disaster preparedness measures. “I think we need to go through different types of stress tests – so preparing for disasters but also how we respond to disasters, and how we recover from disasters, will help us become more resilient and more able to handle future events,” he said. The latest notable storm that passed the islands, Hurricane Iselle, which later downgraded to a tropical storm, particularly affected the Puna district on the Big Island, leaving quite a signiﬁcant impact on Puna residents, Kim added. “The time it hit the Puna region it was just a tropical storm, but it could have been much worse,” he said. “There were thousands of people who lost power,

The fallen trees were one of the major problems during the storm that caused cascading effects, he said, as there were blocked roadways, downed power lines and loss of pumping ability for water. “It should have been a wake up call to deal with the invasive species,“ Kim said. “Part of the research and the work that we’re doing involves looking at this invasive species and looking at these shallow root trees and the hazards that they present in these types of wind conditions.” TRAINING FOR DISASTERS

In the event that a natural disaster does occur, Kim said that there are classes in which a person can participate in order to know what to do in a high-risk situation.

“A lot of our work involves making the connection between the science and policy, but also, very importantly, the culture and the ways in which communities have managed risk.”

gram and is worth a 16-credit graduate certificate. The many perspectives from fellow classmates give insight into how diverse the program can get. “We have some students who are coming from many different undergraduate degrees from the sciences, social sciences and policy sciences,” he said. “Then we have some international students who bring their experiences from their countries, primarily from the Asian-Pacific region. We also have in-service training, people who have jobs or positions related to emergency management and disaster management, and they want additional credentials and certifications.” Kim also leads and teaches in the Emergency Management Institute (EMI), which is part of FEMA. “They have an executive academy, so we do a one-week long training program in which we have senior

leaders from across the country involved in emergency management, and they come from private corporations, state governments and some federal response agencies as well,” he said. “We do that every year. And it’s challenging because our center is a national center, so in addition to Hawai‘i, we have the responsibility for training across the country.” Kim said in order to reduce disaster risk locally and nationally, people must learn from them and see them as teachable moments, while being aware that we live in one of the most hazardous places in the world. “We need to share our local knowledge and experiences with other communities … refocus our attention on the University of Hawai‘i to work more closely with our state and local communities and build resilience,” he said.

the large number of homes that were damaged, the number of trees – especially the Albizia trees – that fell down.” Since the storm, Kim said the NDPC, along with the UH Sea Grant, have gone to Puna to both map and document the damage that occurred in the Kapoho area and other regions that were most severely impacted. “Part of what we’ve been doing is looking at strategies for hazard mitigation and for reducing the risks of harm that are associated with this type of storm,” Kim said.

“We developed for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) the ﬁrst tsunami class and trained many people across the state on planning for hurricanes,” he said. “The other courses that we have are rapid damage assessment and disaster communications. We also did FEMA’s ﬁrst social media class, which is a really important class in terms of how people share different information before, during and after disasters.” According to Kim, the DMHA program is a fairly young interdisciplinary pro-

UH Mānoa graduate student Kelly Park was one of 30 participants in the Mosaic Taiwan Fellowhsip.

Mānoa graduates study diplomacy in Taiwan fellowship ESPERANCA DE DEUS SANTOS LOPES CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Kelly Park has always been passionate about international affairs, and this summer she spent three weeks in Taiwan discussing issues of democracy, conﬂict with China and diplomacy as part of a fellowship. “It was an important and eye-opening program to hear from the government ofﬁcials who talked about the importance of keeping the economic relationship between U.S. and Taiwan,” Park said. “Having the understanding about it actually helped me with my research on trade.” Park, a graduate student in the campus economics department, was one of two University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa students that participated in the fellowship. The Mosaic Taiwan Fellowship is a three-week program for 30 young American leaders and professionals who are interested in global affairs. The president of Taiwan, Ma Ying-jeou, working with Taiwan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, initiated the program, according to Park.

“It is a very interesting program where the fellows would meet with government ofﬁcials and young leaders in Taiwan to discuss issues

of mutual concern, by emphasizing the cross-cultural connections and friendships,” said Bruce Lin, the deputy director general of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Ofﬁce (TECO) in Honolulu. A GLOBAL CONNECTION

Meeting some of Taiwan’s ofﬁcials such as former Vice President Wu Den-yih and some ministers and mayors allowed the program participants to expand their understanding of the country by learning about its history, people and traditional Chinese culture. The ofﬁcials also shared their understanding of what Taiwan means to the U.S. and what their

what is happening around the world. “It is so different of what we read or hear from news before, about what is going on in the world, until I experienced and had interaction with them and talk about it – get the real side of their story,” Park said. “It was a fabulous opportunity. I was able to make connections with the participants and Taiwanese diplomats.” This experience has motivated her to study Taiwan, its government, people, and its international relations. “In my mind, I feel that I built a connection between Taiwan and (the) U.S. Also, it got me thinking about what I can do to help pro-

mote their relationship. Hopefully, I can learn to think as an economist that could see things with different lenses,” Park said. “I would like to continue focusing on studies about international relations.” LEARNING ABOUT THE CULTURE

Some of the trip involved going to remote areas of Taiwan, Park said. “We got to travel to many places in Taiwan. We met the tribes in the east, also in the north of Taiwan. The tribes are called Bulau Bulau tribes,” Park said. “We took a separate Jeep car up to the mountain. Then we walked up to 30 minutes, and we found villages there. They allowed us to expose to their culture, their way of living and the organic farming. They offered us a four-course meal that they had produced. We got to do the singing and dancing. We also practice their hunting skills. It was great.” According to Park, it was significant when they were shown how the tribes survive and how they preserve their way of living. “The experience that I learned in Taiwan made me realize about

keeping identity,” Park said. Park said students should apply for next year. “I think that … a lot of students at UHM that are expertise and have strong skills more I have,” she said. “It will be beneﬁcial for them to have more participants to participate in such a well-put together program.” Mānoa alumna Jasmine Asuncion also participated in the program but could not be reached by Ka Leo for comment. According to Lin, the program would like to have more Hawai‘ i students apply for the upcoming year’s fellowship. “These new generations of the U.S. might become the U.S.’s leaders in the future,” Lin said. “As we need candidates that have leadership skills, also have the experience of working and have interest in learning about Taiwan.” All expenses will be covered by Taiwan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The application of this program can be downloaded at mosaictaiwan.net.

Kānewai Community park reconstruction to end in May CHRISTIE GORA CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Since the spring, Kānewai Community Park has been closed for reconstruction, but its improvements are estimated to be complete by May 2015. According to the city’s Department of Design and Construction, there are contracts for reconstruction improvements and mitigation,

but a new swimming pool may also be constructed as the current one, which has also been closed since the spring, has existing metal objects. The park is located next to the campus’ Hawaiian Studies building as well as the student dorms. Its amenities include two tennis courts, a swimming pool, a baseball and softball ﬁeld, basketball and volleyball courts, a large grass ﬁeld,

a swing set and public restrooms. “I honestly think it should open again,” sophomore Kristina Leon said. “The Kānewai Community Park isn’t secluded and there’s not another park (nearby). … It’s really far, especially when it’s close. Parks actually bring people together and if they have one close by, it gives room for people to see each other. I know for generation wise, nobody goes out often, so if they had the

(Kānewai) Community Park actually open, then more children would become active.” According to the city’s design and construction department website, it will cost an estimated $1.4 million to ﬁx the park’s retaining walls. Other improvements will also be made to the park in regard to its landscape and irrigation. The total cost of this work is approximately $3 million, according to the

city department of planning and permitting website. The park’s basketball and volleyball courts, along with its play structure and lighting system, will also be reconstructed, costing about $900,000, according to the city department of planning and permitting.

GAME OF PHONES: song of business and social network

ANTOINETTE RANIT / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

HUI-LIN LEE CONTRIBUTING WRITER

This month, a variety of new smartphones arrived on the market. The iPhone 6 was released a week ago, with a larger screen, a faster A8 chip and a slimmer look. Samsung, the Korean technological giant, responded to Apple by releasing Galaxy Alpha and Note. Many of these mobile devices will make it to our campus, and they will become integrated into our lives. However, with the recent security crisis surrounding the cloud service, we must consider other risks of using a smartphone. Some regard smartphones as convenient devices for communication. But for most, the smartphone business and its proliferation of social applications have caused revolutionary changes. In the twentieth century, a talented archaeologist V. Gordon Childe claimed in his book that “man made himself” and that humans “progress” by changing economic patterns. From this perspective, we may consider the use of smartphones as a new revolution, reshaping our subsistence, networks and identity. NO MORE JOBS

The use of new technology can transform human subsistence and economic structure. The smartphone is one of the most success-

ful products in human history, in regard to its high popularity, proﬁt and replacement cycle. According to Gartner technology research, worldwide smartphone sales reached 968 million units by 2013. That is about 13 percent of the world’s population shopping for smartphones. Moreover, smartphones are profitable for companies that produce them. Information company IHS Teardown reports that a Galaxy S4 LTE version costs $241 to build while the sale price is $700. And as smartphones become embedded with functions such as

work opportunities, and Kodak offered more than 140,000, according to The New York Times. In contrast, Apple employed only 43,000 people in the U.S. in 2012. A more striking example occurred when Instagram was sold for a billion dollars to Facebook in 2012, and there were only 13 employees. Jobs that can stay in our nation are ﬂowing overseas to take advantage of lower wages and cost of production. Apple’s contract assembler Foxconn hires more than one million factory workers in China to produce most of the world’s iPhones and iPads.

While jobs are important, smartphones have transformed something even more essential to humans. a camera, radio and game consoles, many jobs that once created devices with functions that smartphones now have are being affected. There is no right or wrong about the evolution, but the problem with the smartphone business is that those who lost their jobs cannot replace their jobs with new ones. As the smartphone business creates proﬁts, the industry does not reciprocate with more jobs in America. For instance, companies such as General Electric provided 400,000

The Wall Street Journal noted in 2012 that at Foxconn’s plant, Chinese employees have 12-hour shifts and work six days a week, while earning less than $17 per day – a wage that is not possible under American labor laws. President Obama, at a dinner in Silicon Valley, asked Steve Jobs if the iPhone could be made in the States. Steve Jobs answered, “Those jobs aren’t coming back.” Rather than providing jobs for Americans, Steve Jobs contributed to

America’s unemployment rate. SO CLOSE YET SO FAR AWAY

While jobs are important, smartphones have transformed something even more essential to humans. Childe argues that human beings built social networks as the next revolutionary step. The use of smartphones has transformed social networks, but in a paradoxical way, people seem to be connected by smartphones but are not. By using smartphones, people can share their information on apps like Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp and Twitter. However, scholars have noticed many side effects of “sharing” too much. Last year, Forbes reported that Facebook users frequently felt jealous when their “friends” posted photos. Such negative feelings result in a “spiral of envy” as individuals use posts for self-promotion. Also, social apps may downplay networking instead of facilitating it. A post on wall or a tweet does not promise communication. We assume that our friends will read our posts, but, in real situations, most of our Facebook friends do not see them at all. Moreover, a “like” does not mean they really like it. Although smartphones enable people to stay connected, they can also in turn distance them from reality. We are not in touch with real peo-

ple, and the images take away from real dialogue. Thus, viewing such images can make people feel isolated. Furthermore, I doubt the posts on social apps can represent one’s personality in real life. Do we update what we want others to see, or do we update what others want to see? I am afraid many of us often do the latter unconsciously. We prefer to post those fun photos that can contribute to the “spiral of envy,” as if creating illusions about our lives, or, what’s more, a personality that only exists in cyberspace. In the end, people can only express their cyber identities by images or tweets under a 140-character limit, instead of making in-depth statements for a complicated human being who is holding the smartphone. DO SMARTPHONES IMPROVE OUR LIVES?

The smartphone is a revolutionary invention to human economy and social networking, but I am worried the negative impacts it casts on the job market and social networking. I’ve witnessed how the smartphone and all of its beneﬁts become important parts of our campus and classrooms, but many of our students use smartphones without knowing their impact on society.

‘Operation Protective Edge’ protects none BRAD DELL FEATURES EDITOR

War crimes have been committed in Gaza, and we have chosen to ignore them in optimism for the recent cease-ﬁre signed by Hamas and Israel. However, if we look back at history, it will not last. If we do not address the root of the issues, and the war crimes that have arisen from these issues, there will never be peace between the two entities. A HISTORICAL CONFLICT

The Gaza conflict is rooted in history as far back as 1948 with the Zionist movement when more than 400 Palestinian villages were destroyed and 700,000 Palestinians were expelled in the process of creating modern-day Israel. With Palestinians being relegated to second-class citizenship and never receiving repayment for what was lost, the animosity toward Israel has lasted to this day. Founded in 1987, a Palestinian Islamic militarist faction named Hamas has been bent on liberating Palestine from Israeli occupation. Since 2001, it has launched rockets at Israeli cities from the 139-square-mile Gaza Strip, just south of Israel. While Israeli casualties are usually small due to the low quality of Hamas’ weapons and the anti-missile dome Israel possesses, Israelis live in constant fear of the rocket attacks. In retaliation, Israel has blockaded Gaza since 2007. In a report to the United Nations Human Rights Council, a panel of five independent U.N. rights experts declared the seven-year blockade of the Gaza Strip to be a “flagrant con-

travention of international human rights and humanitarian law.” Explosive conflicts have occurred between Hamas and Israel in the past decades, each more devastating than the last for the innocent populace caught in the crossfire. Due to a build-up in tensions and the killing of three Israeli teenagers by Hamas, Israel attacked again. For 50 days, from July 8 to Aug. 26, Israel launched “Operation Protective Edge” to halt rocket fire from Hamas and destroy its military infrastructure through airstrikes and ground invasion. THE ISRAELI COST

The New York Times reported that Israeli intelligence conﬁrmed the deaths of 341 Hamas operatives out of the total 16,000 militants. This statistic begs the question of whether “Operation Protective Edge” even made a dent on Hamas’ operations and if it was worth the casualties and resources expended. The 341 deceased Hamas militants came at the cost of 50 days of operations and nine billion shekels (U.S. $2.5 billion), according to Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon in an economic conference in Tel Aviv. In their body count, the Israeli Defense Forces claim that 66 Israelis (four civilians) and one Thai national were killed due to retaliatory attacks. THE GAZAN CASUALTIES

With one of the highest-funded militaries in the world exerting all of its force into a single city, Gaza quickly turned into a blood bath. In a Gaza Emergency Situation Report ﬁled on Aug. 28 by the United

Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA), the Palestinian death toll was stated to be 2,104 total losses, with 1,462 being confirmed civilian deaths, with more confirmations in the process. The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that as of Aug. 20, 10,224 Palestinians, including 3,106 children, 1,970 women and 368 elderly, have been injured by the attacks. Living conditions are also heavily impacted. Over 108,000 citizens with destroyed or severely damaged homes will require long-term shelter, according to UNOCHA. The Gaza

2,104 Electricity Distribution Corporation also reported that as of Aug. 28, Gaza experiences power outages, on average, 20 hours each day. Additionally, the Coastal Municipalities Water Utility reported that only 10 percent of the population in Gaza receives water, and only for six to eight hours. The devastation caused in the city will take years to undo, especially with the sanctions placed on building materials and medicine thanks to the blockade. THE CHILDREN

If a child is above the age of six, he or she will have lived through three major operations on their home by Israel. With around 900,000 of the 1.8 million citizens packed into 139 square miles being children, they are always at risk of becoming casualties in attacks.

knowledge of human shield tactics being employed. Gaza seems to see Israel as the more evil of the two with 94 percent being satisfied with Hamas’ military performance in confronting Israeli forces and 78 percent being satisfied with its defense of civilians in Gaza, according to a poll conducted by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research from Aug. 26 to 30. Hamas’ influence on the people of Palestine must be recognized. Israel must learn that by punishing all of Gaza’s civilians, it is only breeding more Hamas operatives desperate to exact vengeance. Israel’s aggression proves Hamas right: The PalesTOTAL PALESTINIAN DEATH TOLL IN GAZA tinians do have something to fear ACCORDING TO THE UNITED NATIONS and to fight.

The UNOCHA Gaza Emergency Situation Report states that at least 495 children were killed in the 50-day conﬂict. The Palestinian Ministry of Health reports that of the 3,106 children injured, an estimated 1,000 will have a permanent disability and 1,500 are currently orphaned as a result of the attacks. Additionally, the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) estimates that “373,000 children require direct and specialized psychosocial support.” UNICEF’s Gaza head, Pernille Ironside, stated, “The physical and psy-

OFFICE FOR THE COORDINATION OF HUMANITARIAN AFFAIRS

chological toll that the violence is having on people is almost indescribable. … We see children killed, injured, mutilated and burnt, in addition to being terriﬁed to their core.” TWO VILLAINS

While the Israeli forces seem to be the only villains here, Hamas also shares the blame. Had they not instigated the conﬂicts through kidnappings, rocket attacks and open declarations of plans to dismantle Israel, there might not be cause for such measures on Israel’s part. Hamas’ willingness to use locals as human shields is also disturbing. If they were truly ﬁghting for their people, then they would protect their people. However, their brutality does not cancel out Israel’s attacks on schools and hospitals despite their

NECESSARY ACTIONS

The illegal blockade of Gaza must end. The world cannot stand by while 1.8 million residents struggle to survive in an open-air prison. The Palestinians must be allowed to import food, medicine and resources to rebuild their city. However, the U.N. should exact stricter measures to prevent the smuggling of weapons into Gaza. The international community needs to recognize the inhumane conditions in Gaza, as well as condemn and deal out consequences for the war crimes committed by Israel and Hamas. Resolutions must be passed to allow for more official international monitors to observe and mediate in future conflicts. We must keep our eyes on Gaza and assure that the casualties are not forgotten in the international court. We cannot let this conflict continue.

Islamic State a direct result of US military intervention ROMAN KALINOWSKI STAFF WRITER

With the second brutal beheading of an American citizen this week by the Islamic State (formerly ISIS or ISIL), the world is waiting to see what the U.S. and NATO response will be. Through its aggressive foreign policy over the past decade, the U.S. has created its current adversaries, including the IS. RAPID ADVANCE

The Islamic State seemingly appeared out of nowhere to carve out a caliphate state straddling the border of Iraq and Syria, the size of neighboring Jordan, but

has its roots in the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq. The “caliph” of the IS, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, was a former high ranking member of Al-Qaeda in Iraq who worked closely with Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. After al-Zarqawi’s death by U.S. bombs, al-Baghdadi took control of the group. When U.S. combat forces withdrew from Iraq in 2011, Al-Qaeda in Iraq was renamed the Islamic State of Iraq, or ISI, and was composed of mainly Iraqi ﬁghters, contrasting Al-Qaeda in Iraq, which was largely composed of foreigners. ISI, Sunni fundamentalists, continued attacking Shiites in Iraq and then moved into Syria at the onset of its civil war.

INTO SYRIA

Because Bashar al-Assad and his government are Alawite, a subsect of Shia Islam, they were a great rallying call for the ISI, which renamed itself ISIS to represent its larger territorial goals. One of the strongest recruiting tools of the Islamic State is the Sykes-Picot Agreement of 1916, which created arbitrary borders from the former Ottoman Empire. The U.S. and its allies, such as Saudi Arabia, have been giving weapons and supplies to certain moderate Syrian rebel groups, with no way to track their ultimate destination or prevent their use by extreme rebel groups. When ISIS invaded Mosul and nearby villages

in the north of Iraq, they were able to pilfer millions of dollars in U.S. weaponry from the poorly trained Iraqi army. NON-INTERVENTION

Regardless of original intentions, U.S. military actions against Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and Libya have done nothing but pour more gasoline on the fire. While former dictators Muammar Gaddafi of Libya and Saddam Hussein of Iraq were guilty of war crimes and by no means benevolent leaders, Libya and Iraq have seen unprecedented chaos. Recently, Tripoli was captured by a second group of rebels, and fighting has only increased since

the death of Gaddafi. Iraq never saw such levels of sectarian fighting under Saddam either. The thousands of casualties caused by both manned and unmanned bombers during regime change deepens local hatred of the U.S., inciting more youths to join extreme organizations such as the IS as a means of fighting back. The U.S. needs to use this as a learning experience for similar events in the future. Military actions might not always be the solution. The U.S. needs to refrain from military diplomacy to stop making more enemies such as the Islamic State and pursue more peaceful means of persuasion.

THE MANY ASPECTS OF TATTOOS The cultural and artistic side to modern-day tattoos BRITTANY NAKAMOTO CONTRIBUTING WRITER

For many, tattoos are forms of artistic or cultural expression. For others, tattoos are more for visual appeal. They have become prominent in the American culture and are found in many parts of the world. But many still view them negatively. The ancient Egyptians used them, and today many parts of the world use ink to represent ancestry and culture. People in America often use them for similar reasons, but they have also transformed into social stereotypes. Sometimes, people say that having them can make one look tough or even intimidating. Even when applying for jobs, large tattoos must be covered in order to look “professional.” But what makes them un-professional? Is this due to some of the negative stereotypes that have been built around them? Tattoos are found in many cultures, especially in Paciﬁc Island

culture. They are often called “tribal tattoos.” In Papua New Guinea, women have tattoos that show whether or not they are available for marriage. In America, it is common for people to have the name of their significant other tattooed. Sleeves have also become popular among men and women in the U.S. When did tattoos become more for visual appeal is the question. It may be that they have always been used to convey hidden messages or to display a beautiful design, or that gradually over time people began to notice their visual appeal. But regardless of a person’s reason for getting one, they should be admired. Often, tattoos hold personal, artistic or cultural importance.

“The pill; the morning-after one, the emergency one; condoms; spermicide; the thing that goes inside the vagina, the metal coil thing, or does that go in the arm; female condom; there’s talk about a male birth control pill coming along; getting the snip, a vasectomy; that’s all I can think of at the moment.”

“Ruined” tells the story of women who have lost their sense of dignity in the midst of conflict in the Congo.

‘Ruined’ promises to unsettle viewers Kennedy Theatre’s ‘Ruined’ to be both dark and illuminating NICOLYN CHARLOT SENIOR STAFF WRITER

Kennedy Theatre’s ﬁrst production of the semester will be “Ruined,” a dark play that will open eyes to some of the harsh realities that occur in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). The plot is set in the mid-2000s in the DRC. While the primary focus is on a small town, the backdrop of the production is a war-torn environment where soldiers and rebels rape and abuse women because they feel that it is their right and that women are the spoils of war. The vast majority of girls are raped by the time they turn 13, and many young women are considered “ruined,” or brutalized to the point where they are in severe physical pain and their families and villages no longer want them. These are the girls that Mama Nadi, the madam of a brothel, takes in. Mama Nadi provides food and shelter for ruined women, but her source of income is forcing the women to prostitute themselves. Both government and rebel soldiers frequent the brothel, and Mama Nadi is frequently seen switch-

someone who still wants you no matter what you’ve been through.” While Mama Nadi’s character begins as a shrewd businesswoman, Christian helps her find love again, even after the various atrocities she experienced caused her to shut out her emotions. “This is one of those issues that we may not feel personally responsible for, in fact, we feel very far removed from it,” said Lillian Jones, who plays Mama Nadi. “Maybe we could reprioritize and focus on “It’s like a train wreck. It’s so disturbing and things.” Apostol noted that one of the horrific but you have to keep watching.” characters in the play asks the – TROY APOSTOL question, “How can men be this DIRECTOR OF ‘RUINED’ way?”, a statement which could ignite discussion of sexual violence. “To me, the main focus is that “That’s maybe the biggest thing that may be difficult to comprehend that’s impacting our cast – that – many of the ruined women are men can do better, all of us, even we’re telling actual stories, and so “safer in a whorehouse than walking today in this time, how we treat we want to represent that truth- the streets. … It’s just crazy, and when women, we can do much better,” Apostol said. fully and honestly, even though it’s you see that, it hurts even more.” “Ruined” will not be a lightDespite the production’s heavy heartbreakingly disgusting and terrible,” said Troy Apostol, an M.F.A. tones, there are bright spots.

However, there are also people and according to Love, “(Christian’s) ability and love are brought into who live in the DRC who claim that main purpose (is) to show that even the open, and audience members this play does not portray a com- though a woman has been ruined, are free to interpret the show as plete picture. Apostol noted that there is still hope for love, there is they please. While “Ruined” is not ing political allegiences in order to charm all her customers. Escalating tensions, a material necessary for building digital devices is discovered near the brothel and brings everything to a head. Lynn Nottage, the playwright, spent time in the DRC collecting stories from women in refugee camps. Many of the events that take place in “Ruined” are based on those stories.

while some may question its accuracy, “these evil things do happen in that part of the world and other parts of the world.” “It’s like a train wreck,” Apostol said. “It’s so disturbing and horriﬁc but you have to keep watching to see how it all plays out because it’s that emotionally engaging.” Quantae Love, a ﬁlmmaker who plays Christian in the production, points out one aspect of the play

necessarily meant to be educational, it is intended to give people an introduction to what life is like for those who live in the DRC and similar environments, and to broaden perspectives. “This is one of those plays that gets under your skin,” said Love. Due to the subject matter, “Ruined” is recommended for mature audiences only. MORE INFO

Making fresh cheesecake every day, Otto Cake transforms simple tastes into homemade masterpieces. You can never go wrong with any slice, with ﬂavors ranging from blueberry, lilikoi and peanut butter chocolate chip, all the way to Chinese almond cookie and chocolate caramel bacon. The menu changes daily, but the satisfaction remains the same. At $5 a slice, it’s the perfect dessert. With Otto Cake now located in Kaimukī, you can’t miss their red building and sidewalk sign when passing by. Although the building is on the smaller side, the interior gives a welcoming feel with popping colors and friendly staff. Otto Cake is a must for cheesecake lovers. If you’re not a fan of cheesecake, Otto Cake offers other desserts and drinks. Choose from coffee cake, brownies, strawberry ginger lemonade, cupcakes or a hand-crafted chocolate espresso shake. Whether you take it to go or eat inside, you’ll never be disappointed. One thing to remember when stopping by: cash only.

The meals at Hale Aloha and Gateway cafeterias are both a blessing and a curse. Incoming freshman and transfer students are instantly amazed by the all-you-can-eat buffets that both cafeterias share, but quickly learn that it gets incredibly old eating at them day after day. With repeating recipes and downright bland taste at times, students often become bored or even dread going to the cafeteria. Below is a guide to add a little zest to on-campus dining: BURGERS

The typical hamburger served on campus is one of the dullest items on the menu. Instead of adding mustard and ketchup, try this alternative. Order a veggie burger from the cook. This may take a few minutes to prepare, so grab the rest of your food while you wait. Once the burger is ready, head over to the sandwich bar and add any desired

toppings to the burger. Feeling adventurous? The addition of ranch or Caesar dressing from the salad bar creates a truly delicious concoction. Bacon bits also give the burger another reward for your taste buds. SALAD

Want salad, but unhappy with the salad bar choices? Make an average salad with the given toppings, then walk to the sandwich section and ask for chicken and other unique additions. It’s annoying to have unevenly distributed salad dressing. Another great hack for salad enthusiasts is to grab a second bowl and place it on top of a prepared salad. Using both hands, begin to violently shake the contents as you release any anger that you have toward your difﬁcult classes. After a few seconds of shaking, the dressing will be evenly distributed throughout your salad. Getting takeout? Use your drinking cup for a to-go salad. You can use it as a shaker, too.

THE PB&J

When preparing an ordinary PB&J, remember all of the treasures that lie within the ice cream zone of the cafeteria. A creative mind can use this zone to their advantage to tweak the most common sandwich known to man and rocket its taste through the roof. A great example of this is the following: typical PB&J, marshmallows, sprinkles and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Before you shove this masterpiece into your face, there is one last step: Stick it in the panini grill. This is the ultimate icing on the cake and will deﬁnitely turn the heads of peers. ROOT BEER FLOATS

This dessert is always a viable and often overlooked option for students who grow tired of the basic bowl of ice cream. It’s as simple as ﬁlling a glass halfway with root beer (or any other soda) and dropping in the ice cream ﬂavor of your choice. EXTREME ICE CREAM SUNDAE

Is chocolate syrup not enough?

The extreme ice cream sundae may satisfy the ultimate sweet tooth. Any ingredient you please can go into this delight: ice cream, chocolate syrup, caramel syrup, chocolate chips, sprinkles, peanut butter and cereal. While cereal doesn’t normally go into sundaes, it deﬁnitely ups the taste and texture. The type of cereal is entirely up to your preference, but many popular combinations are Fruity Pebbles and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. PEANUT BUTTER CUP SURPRISE

Grab a small bowl of peanut butter and add Oreo cookie crumbs and sprinkles for a strange, but awesome snack. SORT-OF-FRESH-BAKED COOKIES

The cafeterias’ cookies are acceptable but they’re deﬁnitely not phenomenal, especially when they’ve been sitting out for hours. For a fresh-baked taste, place a few cookies in the conventional oven when you get home.

Video game fashion for the everyday woman

BYTE-SIZE REVIEWS

SAMMI BAUMGARTNER SPECIAL ISSUES EDITOR

Fashionistas search every nook and cranny of magazines and websites in order to find inspiration for their wardrobes. But those are the most conventional ways of learning fashion, and a magazine can only do so much before it begins to look like the next one … and the next one … and the next one. You get the point. For those looking to push the boundaries of fashion in a rare way, look no further than the list below featuring five of the best-dressed female characters in a video game. Because video game designers aren’t limited to just fabrics, they have more creative control than fashion designers, which makes these unique outfits one of a kind. You won’t be able to find these designs on Harper’s Bazaar.

MIRROR’S EDGE

Zelda/Sheik

Nobody pulls off urban chic like Connors does. The red accents of her shoes and gloves add just the right amount of flair to her black and white runner wear. Plus, her A-line bob adds a fierce quality to her personality. Achieving Connors’ effortless look is as simple as finding the right black shirt to match the right white pants, and then adding red sneakers, such as Vans or Converse. If you’re girlier, but still love this look, try a white blouse and black skirt with red heels.

THE LEGEND OF ZELDA

Zelda is best known for her ﬂoorlength gowns with impeccable embroidering and jewel tones. Her princess look is timeless and girly. In contrast, her masculine image as Sheik is for the more fashionably daring. The blue jumpsuit has evident hand stitching to create a vintage-grunge look and allows for easy mobility. While wearing a gown calls for the right occasion, you can channel Zelda by opting for crèmes and jewel tones in your everyday look. If you want to look edgier like Sheik, knee-length boots are a necessity.

Sophitia

Jade

Samus Aran

SOUL EDGE

MORTAL KOMBAT

METROID

Any woman that can pull off looking like an angelic warrior should earn a spot on all fashion lists thanks to their ability to convey both beauty and power. Sohpitia’s loose-ﬁtting white dress gives her an innocent look, yet she pairs the dress with a chunky belt and gladiator sandals that say “don’t mess with me.” Her armband is also a unique accessory that not many can pull off. To achieve this look, start with a simple dress then add heavy jewelry like armbands and big earrings. Make sure to add shoes, like Sophitia’s gladiators, that make a statement.

Jade certainly knows how to evolve her style and it is her daringness that puts her on this list. As the years go by, we find Jade wearing less clothing and flaunting more skin. She understands that her skintone and black hair only match with certain colors, so she sticks to emerald, which flatters her well. You too can find colors to complement your hair and skin tone. If you have light hair and dark skin, neon colors work best for you. However, if your hair and skin is light, opt for pastels and muted colors.

It doesn’t get any more haute couture than Samus’ many suits. The giant shoulders, cinched waistline and breastplates push the boundaries of fashion and dare women everywhere to go boldly where no woman has gone before. Even Rihanna sported metal heavy shoulders on her most recent cover for Vogue Italia. Similarly, you can sport a Samus-inspired outﬁt in a pantsuit and blazer with heavy shoulder padding.

Let’s face it, cell phones have become the dominant tool for just about every aspect of daily life. Now, with the help of the “My Homework” app, students can have an accessible hub for all of their school information without the hassle of carrying around a physical planner. Is your phone overfilled with notes and calendar reminders? If so, this app is perfect for you. To set up the app, you need to input your class schedule. There are many details to fill in, including teacher, time, days of the week, building, room number and start date. Although it may seem tedious, filling each section out will only benefit you in the future. Once your class schedule is finished, you can add an assignment by clicking the plus symbol on the top right corner. Besides the due date, you also can include a short description of the assignment and place a priority level. There are two ways to view assignments: as a priority list and as a calendar. You can also set reminders, which will notify you at the specific time requested. While the app does have a slight learning curve, users will quickly realize that “Homework Planner” is incredibly efficient at keeping things simple. RATING

‘ARTafterDARK’ pairs paintings and parties DANIELLA REYES STAFF WRITER

A club scene isn’t the ﬁrst thing that comes to mind when one thinks of the Honolulu Museum of Art. However, once a month the Museum lights up its courtyards and throws one of the best parties around. “ARTafterDARK” is held from 6-9 p.m. on the last Friday of the month, January through October. It’s a chance to enjoy great food, live entertainment and art with a young, fun-loving crowd. ATMOSPHERE

The Museum of Art has several courtyards, all of which are strung with twinkling lights and feature entertainment ranging from slackkey guitar to a live DJ. I was deﬁnitely not expecting the crowd that poured in starting from 6:30 p.m. By 8 p.m., the main courtyard was packed with people eating and

drinking as the music blasted from the DJ booth. Anywhere outdoors was a glorious and chaotic mass of people, many in their mid-twenties and dressed to the nines. The indoor galleries, meanwhile, were havens of quiet to allow guests to enjoy the different

Every dish featured local ingredients and was of the ﬁnest quality. I sampled the beef poke bowl, which consisted of seared strip loin tossed in togarashi-and-cane sugar seasoning, and the mini laulau with lomi tomatoes and rice. Both dishes were plated artfully

Anywhere outdoors was a glorious and chaotic mass of people, many in their midtwenties and dressed to the nines. varieties of art that the museum has on display. It’s nice to pop into the galleries once in a while to escape the noise and crowds. FOOD

The event was catered by The Grove and featured gourmet dishes like poi garden salad, ﬁsh musubi, mini laulau and beef poke bowls.

and looked delicious. I particularly enjoyed the beef poke which had just a hint of sweetness from the cane sugar. The laulau was ﬂavorful and the lomi tomatoes that came with it were fresh. Overall, the food was excellent, although the portions were quite small. Most items on the menu went for $9-10 a plate, which were a bit pricey considering

the portion size. As for drinks, the museum had multiple bars scattered around the courtyard offering beer, wine, and cocktails. If you’re over 21, you’ll be asked to show your ID at the entrance and will receive a wristband in order to buy drinks. THEME

Every “ARTafterDARK” has a different theme. The theme for August was “Art Deco Hawai‘ i” and guests were encouraged to dress “deco” in ﬂapper gowns and vintage aloha shirts. “Art Deco Hawai‘ i” is also a featured exhibit at the museum, which showcases a Hawaiian take on the Art Deco craze that swept the globe from the 1920s to the 1940s. Art deco in Hawai‘ i focused on the natural beauty of the islands, and was often used by advertisers to highlight the “paradise” of the Hawaiian Islands. The exhibit features

paintings, sculptures and works on paper to provide a look at an art movement rarely seen in Honolulu since its heyday. If you’re tired of the same old dorm parties or clubs, head down to the Honolulu Museum of Art on the last Friday of the month. Party with a vibrant crowd, eat delicious food and get cultured.

What’s playing on the radio today? A little different than most of her songs, Nicki Minaj’s new song, Anaconda, is bumping on all the Top Hit radio stations. Turn up the bass on this one on your way to school to keep up with the trendiest tunes.

Some people like Pandora, some like Spotify, but it seems the latest and trendiest way to listen to music today is Soundcloud. Through Soundcloud you are able to follow people who like music similar to you, repost songs that you like, and make a playlist for different occasions.

The trendiest way to drink your water now days is through an insulated water bottle. When you put hot/ cold water into an insulated water bottle, it keeps the water hot/cold all day long. They come in many different sizes and colors and are sold at almost every superstore.

Everybody loves having soft, clear skin. The latest way to keep your skin looking healthy as can be is with coffee scrubs. Several different individual businesses have started their own brand of coffee scrubs. They are made of coffee beans and usually mix with water to create a scrub that unclogs pores and promotes healthy skin development.

BEACH BAG MUST-HAVES Lauren Roxton Staff Writer

Sarong

A basic towel is bulky and takes forever to dry, but a cute sarong in patterns and bright colors is a far more convenient replacement. Generally sarongs can be bought in larger sizes but can be folded down to a smaller size so that they don’t take up all the room in your bag.

Lip balm

Having your lips chapped is zero fun. Bringing your lip balm with you allows you to refresh after the water and sun wash it all away. If you pick one that has sunscreen in it, it works double duty by protecting you and keeping you from having peeling lips all day. There are a bunch of scents and textures to choose from so try out a couple and pick the one that you like best.

Sunglasses

There is nothing worse than having a sticky body and having to wait to be home for relief. Packing some wipes in your bag can save you from being a salty sticky mess. Baby wipes or makeup remover wipes work well for a quick pick-me-up after swimming in the water all day.

Sunscreen

Sunscreen is important. Skin cancer is brutal and completely avoidable. Pick a sunscreen that you like, but make sure it has an SPF above 15. You want to protect your skin as much as possible so lather up and reapply. Sunscreen for babies can be used for your face and it doesn’t cause any irritation when it goes into your eyes.

Entertainment

Music, books, magazines, football. If you’re one of those people who don’t like to nap on the beach, bring something to entertain yourself! Something waterproof is preferable, but if not just keep it out of the water.

Baby powder

Annoying sand sticking to your feet? Get rid of it quickly by dusting baby powder on your feet. The powder dries the water that surrounds the sand, allowing it to fall right off your feet.

Bikini bag

After changing out of your bikini grab a plastic bag and put your bikini in it before putting it in your bag. This prevents all of your things from getting wet, and most bikini stores sell cute options made especially for your suits.

After-sun hairspray

A spray with argan oil hydrates your hair after a harsh day in the sun and salt water. A few quick sprays will soften your hair during the ride back from the beach and make it much more manageable when you shower afterwards.

A NIGHT ON THE (CHINA)TOWN A RECAP OF FIRST FRIDAY Hana Ah You Staff Writer

Any given Friday night provides no shortage of options for those who dabble in drinking and dancing, but on the ﬁrst Friday of each month, Chinatown is the only place to be. Lines snake along the sidewalks of North Hotel Street and Bethel Street as people wait to be let into the already-packed bars and clubs. The journey from one bar to another reveals the diversity that First Friday has to offer. Start the night at eleven44, the recently renovated old BambuTwo location. Techno music reminiscent of the 20th century is characteristic of the glistening club, and the dance ﬂoor is full of people trying to decipher the proper way to dance to the heart-pounding bass. White curtains drape over matching couches that lead to a lounge area with a more sophisticated atmosphere and tables perfect for holding any of the many tapas available for purchase (try IStockphoto Illustration

the vegetable samosas or the grilled beef skewers). A short walk and one will arrive at the hub of the First Friday experience, but not without a cultural stop along the way. Soul de Cuba cafe exists in its own area removed from the crowds of downtown. Peek a head in and get a taste of Cuban heritage with live music, courtesy of Afro-Criollo Sound, salsa dancing, art work and a vast menu. On the dance ﬂoor, couples young and old move in sync with each other to the bachata, reggaton and merengue music. Here the focus is less on guzzling drink after drink and more on gracefully moving with the music — a welcome change to the bent-over grinding in most clubs. However, if grinding is the goal, Chinatown will not be a letdown. Bar35, Manifest and The Fix are a few popular clubs in the center of all the First Friday commotion. Bar35 has food as well as drinks, a DJ pumping out old-school jams, an outdoor bar, lounge ar-

eas secluded behind curtains and a movie theater screen playing what appears to be a penguin documentary on loop (possibly to trick the mind into feeling the winter wind rather than the muggy air filled with the sweat of all the writhing bodies). Manifest has three bars and a dance floor to go along with the rotation of DJs and the art that lines the walls. The Fix boasts two separate spacious rooms to provide a choice of music to dance to, usually either hip-hop or electric dance music, and leans the most toward a club atmosphere rather than a bar. While each of these locations (and the many other available options) are open on a regular basis, there is not quite the same excitement that comes along with the crowds that religiously flock to Chinatown on the first Friday of the month. Those that miss the memo and go elsewhere on this fateful night are sure to be met with disappointment and an emptiness only penguins and salsa dancing can fill.

Jerrol Garcia-Williams and the Warrior defense held No. 25 Washington to 17 points in the season opener.

Replacing wounded Warriors Who will step up in the absence of Joey Iosefa and Jerrol Garcia-Williams NICK HUTH ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

The Warrior football team will be without star running back Joey Iosefa and defensive leader Jerrol Garcia-Williams for some time after both suffered injuries against Oregon St. Iosefa, who ran for 143 yards against Washington in the season opener, will be out for 4-6 weeks with a broken ankle. Garcia-Williams, who started both games this season as outside linebacker, is out for the season with a torn ACL in his left knee. “It’s very unfortunate that we’ve lost two extremely talented young men and terriﬁc leaders on this team,” head coach Norm Chow said after the injury news. “However, we are fully conﬁdent that others will step up and contribute in their absence.”

FAC TO I D S

Lakalaka, the sophomore running back from Punahou, hopes to ﬁll those big shoes in a more successful way than he did when Iosefa went down last season. “Now I know how it feels to start and now that this is week is going to be my time, I just have to execute,” Lakalaka said. The O‘ahu native played in 12 games for the Warriors last season, averaging 4.1 yards per carry as the team’s second leading rusher. He hopes that his off-season training

the void left by the team’s leading rusher, Moses knows that the games must still be played. “It’s football. Unfortunately, that’s a part of the game. You have to move on,” Moses said. “If they’re going to cancel the games because of injuries that’d be different, but they’re not.” A NEW DEFENSIVE LEADER

While Iosefa was the leader on the statsheet for the Warriors, the loss of Garcia-Williams signals a void in leadership on this sea-

“It’s football. Unfortunately that’s a part of the game. If they’re going to cancel the games because of injuries that’d be different, but they’re not.” – WAYNE MOSES ASSISTANT COACH

REPLACING THE WORKHORSE

When the Warrior football team lost Iosefa for seven games due to a foot injury in camp last year, the team went 0-7 with just 64.7 rushing yards per game to start the season. In his five-game return to the team to finish the 2013 campaign, the running back averaged 118 yards per game on the ground, including 154 yards in the team’s only win of the season against Army. The team agrees that there is no time to worry about the drop in production, or the effect that it might have on the offense. “We feel pretty confident,” Steven Lakalaka said. “We have to step up and fill those big shoes.”

will help him carry the load left to him in the offense, although not in the same way. “We’re going to run the same plays as what Joey (Iosefa) did, but I’m just going to do my style,” Lakalaka said. “He’s a power runner and I’m not really a power runner.” According to Wayne Moses, the team’s assistant coach in charge of the running backs, Lakalaka is ready for the burden. “He’s come out, come to work,” Moses said. “(Lakalaka) ﬁnishes his plays, knows his assignments, and I’m looking forward to seeing him play.” Regardless of who is ready to ﬁll

son’s improved defense. Despite his 14 career starts at outside linebacker and racking up 67 total tackles last season, the linebacker’s coach Kurt Gouveia feels that his loss will be felt in the mental side of the game. “Jerrol (Garcia-Williams) is a big part of our defense and he’s one of our leaders on the football team. Kids need to understand that someone needs to step up,” Gouveia said. “Somebody needs to accept the responsibility and try to pick up where he left off.” The junior linebacker started for the Warriors in their ﬁrst two games

of the season as the calming presence in their new 3-4 defensive scheme, which asks a lot of the four linebackers on the ﬁeld. “Hopefully, we don’t have that weak link, and I don’t think so. I think we’ve got smart guys,” Gouveia said. “I’m pleased about who is stepping up and who is accepting that role.” According to Gouveia, the man faced with accepting that role is Jeremy Castro. The freshman transferred to UH from UCLA after a single semester and sat out all of last season due to NCAA transfer rules. “He’s going to have to step up and become that person that everyone looks up to and he leads our defensive squad to what Jerrol (Garcia-Williams) was doing for us,” Gouveia said. Coming out of high school in California, Castro was a four-star recruit and the No. 40 prospect in the state according to rivals.com. “Jeremy has that potential, he’s got a lot of upside,” Gouveia said, “I get that he’s a freshman, hes young, he doesn’t know a lot about football, but with his heart and his determination I think we’re going to get that.” To echo the thoughts of coach Moses, Gouveia says the team will have to adjust quickly to replace the leaders on both sides of the ball. “We don’t have time to adjust. We don’t have time to bleed. We’ve got to work every day, every week to try to get better.” Gouveia said, “Because we’re not accomplishing what we set out to accomplish, which is winning football games, and we’re not doing that.”

DAVID MCCRACKEN SENIOR STAFF WRITER

The University of Hawai‘i football team hosted the Panthers of Northern Iowa at Aloha Stadium Saturday evening and enjoyed its ﬁrst taste of victory this season — winning by a score of 27-24. However, this win did not come against an equal FBS opponent; instead it was an FCS school, otherwise known as a Division II program. The Panthers (0-2) played their ﬁrst game of the season last weekend against instate rivals, the University of Iowa Hawkeyes. Although they only lost by one possession (31-23), the Panthers received $550,000 to go up against the Hawkeyes. They receive that amount because FCS programs are viewed as “guaranteed” wins by Division I programs; which makes the Warriors (1-2) victory over the Panthers that much less impressive. WOOLSEY WOES

The Warriors have struggled on offense so far this season, and the story was no different against UNI as quarterback Ikaika Woolsey was pulled from the contest with three minutes to go in the 3rd quarter after completing 14 for 30 passes for a dismal completion percentage. Woolsey actually mimicked his season averages against the Panthers, as he has completed a total of 55 passes out of 122 attempts for 631 yards with a completion percentage of 46.7 percent through three games. Woolsey did throw for a 15 yard touchdown pass to Harold Moleni in the second quarter against the Panthers to give his team a 10-point cushion, but the score was just his ﬁrst touchdown pass on the season through three games; not a statistic that signals offensive success.

Woolsey was yanked from the game after failing to convert a third down conversion and was replaced by Utah State transfer Jeremy Higgins, who ﬁnished the game with 3 for 6 completions for 37 yards. “I just felt like a change needed to be made,” Chow said. “Jeremy (Higgins) did a terriﬁc job coming in. He’s a veteran, he understands and he’s always ready to go.” DAVID JOHNSON IS A STUD

Coming off a matchup against the Hawkeyes where he ran for 42 yards and caught five passes for 203 yards, Panthers’ All-American running back David Johnson was going to be a handful against first year defensive coordinator Kevin Clune’s defensive front seven. After surrendering 164 yards on the ground to Oregon State last weekend, Clune and his defense had to cope with Johnson and they didn’t disappoint, holding him to 46 yards on the ground and keeping the Panthers to 1.5 yards per carry on Saturday night. Nevertheless, Johnson did add 73 yards on five catches against the Warriors including a 34 yard gallop on the sideline to set up a Panther’s touchdown in the waning minutes of the contest, leaving him with 119 yards from scrimmage. STEVEN LAKALAKA IMPRESSES IN ABSENCE OF IOSEFA

Warrior running back Steven Lakalaka ﬁnished the night with 32 carries for 124 yards, including a career long 30-yard touchdown run to lead his team on the ground and toward its ﬁrst win of the young season. “We told him that he needed to step up and we needed to have him,” Chow said. “We’re real happy to have Steven Lakalaka.”

The stat line was reminiscent of his teammate and fellow running back Joey Iosefa, Lakalaka proved his worth to Chow’s offense, particularly in garbage time as he carried the rock 12 times in the fourth quarter to wear down the Panther’s front seven and chew the clock down.

THE AUSSIE RULES

Hawai‘ i’s Swiss army knife, also known as Scott Harding, had a heavy workload against the Panthers on special teams, punting the ball 11 times for an average of 38.7 yards per punt. Harding’s unique rugby style of punting has been instrumental to the Warriors’ battle for field position this season, particularly on Saturday night where seven of his punts landed inside the 20 yard line along with a game-long punt of 64 yards. On the year, Harding has averaged 40.7 yards per punt and has pinned the ball inside the 20 yard line 10 times through three games. He is tied for third in the nation with 25 total punts, and fourth in the nation with 1,078 yards. Harding’s unique ability to pin the ball into the opposition’s side of the field with pace allows the ball to spin and bounce forward into the direction of the returning team’s end zone, which forces the returner to field the punt whenever he can. This was evident Saturday night when Harding’s 44 yard punt in the fourth quarter bounced off the turf and against the leg of returner Darrian Miller, which gave Ne’Quan Phillips the opportunity to recover the fumble for the Warriors at the Panthers’ 20 yard line to set up a crucial field goal. ////////////////////////// K a L e o O H a w a i ‘ i

WEEKLY ROUNDUP

WOMEN’S SOCCER After their 6-0 loss to No. 1 UCLA, the women’s soccer team fell to another Pac-12 team before finishing its sixgame home stand to begin the season. Although not by the same margin as against the defending national champions, the Wahine (3-4) lost to Washington State by a margin of 3-1 before hitting the road. Hawai‘ i found more success on its first road game of the season against Weber State. A game-winning goal from TJ Reyno in overtime helped the Wahine continue their success on the road since last season. Hawai‘ i finished its 2013 campaign with a winning road record for the first time in a decade.

The following is a collection of University of Hawai‘i athletic events from Sept. 7th-Sept. 13th.

NICK HUTH ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL Hawai‘ i (5-3) held a pair of three-set matches during the week with mixed results. On Thursday, the No. 22 Wahine faced Utah St. and were able to defeat the Aggies in straight sets. Tayler Higgins racked up 36 assists and Olivia Magill led the team with 13 blocks on a .632 hitting percentage. The Wahine went on to face No. 25 UCLA in the Outrigger Resorts Volleyball Challenge. In a tightly contested match, the Wahine fell in straight sets to the Bruins. The scoreline of each set was separated by only two points, as Hawai‘i lost 25-23, 25-23, 27-25. Tai Manu-Olevao helped the team in the close match with 10 digs and 13 kills. Hawai‘ i also welcomed back sophomore Nikki Taylor for the ﬁrst time this season against UCLA. After sitting out the beginning of the year with an injury, the 2013 all-Big West ﬁrst team outside hitter had three kills in her return. Her performance in the previous week led to Olivia Magill being named the Big West Player of the Week on Monday. So far this season, the Arizona transfer has led the team in kills with 90, and blocks with 48 on the season.

WOMEN’S TENNIS Hawai‘ i tennis player Cindy Nguyen was ranked No. 96 by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association on Monday as a sophomore. The Hawai‘i standout is the only player in the Big West to receive a preseason ranking. After the news of the Top 100 ranking, Nguyen was also selected to play in the 2014 ITA Women’s All-American Championships at the end of the month in Los Angeles, California. Nguyen is the fourth Wahine to attend the tournament under the tutelage of head coach Jun Hernandez. She also competed in the NCAA Singles Championship last season as a freshman when she was the highest ranked player in the Big West, which gave her an automatic bid to the tournament.

CROSS-COUNTRY The women’s cross country team hit the road last week for the first time this season in the UC Riverside Invitational on Saturday. The Wahine finished 23rd, with freshman runner Montana Martinez coming in first place for the Wahine, but 121st place in the invitational. Louise Mulvey and Hayley Musashi rounded out the top three performers in the six kilometer race.

BLAKE'S TAKE

MARK LOHDE / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

As the linebacker coach for Utah St., the Aggies led the Mountain West in eight defensive categories last season.

Clune comes from Utah State on a mission BLAKE TOLENTINO WEB SPECIALIST

For all the criticism Norm Chow’s offense has endured, it certainly had no help from the Warrior defense. Allowing 494.7 yards per game, last season’s defense ranked 117th out of 125 FBS teams in total defense. Despite a promising cast of young, talented players, the University of Hawai‘i defense struggled to put together consistent performances, routinely giving up big 3rd down plays. Despite scoring a respectable 27.4 points per game, Hawai‘i’s defense couldn’t help out its resurgent offense, giving up 30 or more points in 11 of 12 games. For all the issues fans held with the offensive staff, there was no doubt that the defense played a considerable part in holding back last year’s team. From total collapses in the waning moments of the UNLV and Wyoming games to the steady destruction at the hands of Navy and Utah State, Thom Kaumeyer’s defense wilted despite a strong front seven that included future NFL prospects like Brendan Daley. For all their talent, the Warrior defense seemed lost at times, unsure of their assignments, out of position on crucial plays. Kaumeyer’s time in Hawai‘ i came to a swift end. Drastic change was needed. For head coach Norm Chow, the perfect hire was a familiar face. The Utah State Aggies had spent the last season terrorizing the

Mountain West behind a vicious defense. With the Warriors fresh off of four straight games of scoring over 27 points and totaling over 40 yards, the Aggies defense had steamrolled UH that season, holding them to 10 points and 319 yards of total offense. One of the main parties responsible was linebackers coach Kevin Clune. “That was the best defense in the Mountain West, and I knew he was a very integral part of it all,” Chow said. “I’d known about

helped shape Clune’s own ideas, among others. “Most of what I’ve learned has come from a number of different coaches,” Clune said. “Coach Kyle Wittingham at Utah, I learned a ton from him. A lot of my linebacking style and a lot of my defensive philosophies come from him. ... Dave Aranda, came from here and was with Utah State for a year, he had his touch on things, so I learned a little bit from him. And Todd Orlando who was at Utah State last year, he came in and we

“I’d known about Kevin for a long time and liked the style of football that his defense presented.” – NORM CHOW ON CLUNE’S HIRING HEAD COACH

Kevin for a long time and liked the style of football that his defense presented.” Thus, Chow hired Clune, tasked with turning around a languishing defense in one off season. Armed with a brand new 3-4 scheme, Clune got to work. FULL CIRCLE

In an interesting twist, Clune’s hiring brought the Warrior defense back to pre-Chow days. After former Defensive Coordinator Dave Aranda was released, he landed in Utah State, where he helped elevate the former conference bottom feeder into a top 20 team. Aranda’s defensive philosophies

ran that Aggie defense and he had his personal style and put it on there. I’ve learned a little bit from every coach going all the way back.” Despite their performance last season, Clune already sees potential in the current personnel. “What we wanted was a vision here,” Clune said. “From that vision, it evolves with the players that we have. We have a great D-line, so what can we do with that D-line? We have some good corners with Nequan (Phillips) and Dee (Maggitt), so what can we do with these guys? We have a deep set of linebackers, so what can we do with those guys? We start with a vision on defense, and the play-

ers will make us evolve to what we actually see on Saturdays. And that will evolve all year long.” Thus far, the results have supported Clune’s belief that this iteration of the Warrior defense can become a productive unit. In two contests with Washington and Oregon State, The Warriors have ﬁelded solid performances. Against Washington, Hawai‘ i held their opponents to 336 total yards. It was the ﬁrst time since last year’s September 21st tilt against Nevada that Hawai‘i held an offense to less than 400 total yards. Against Oregon State, the defense gave up yards and points, but tightened up in the second half, allowing only 7 points after the break. For a team so used to second half meltdowns, it was an encouraging development. The players can see the differences too. “The schemes are totally different from last year,” said linebacker Julian Gener. “This defense is a lot more fun because I get to blitz from different places, we do a lot more coverage in zone so I get to be back in coverage and hopefully get some more picks. This one, I’m a lot more attacking downhill.” Utah State’s defenses had a reputation for disciplined play in contrast to Hawai‘i’s habits of losing assignments. Gener notices the improved focus Clune has brought to the team. “I think as a whole team, I think we want it more. Everybody wants it from top to bottom. I mean last year, sometimes you would feel like it was just, some people wanted it,

half the team wanted it, or three fourths. We were never ﬁring on a hundred percent, full cylinders, and not everybody wanted it.” SEASON OF SUCCESS?

Despite the promising start to his Hawai‘ i career, fans shouldn’t crown Clune the savior just yet. While he’s performed well in the early games, Clune still needs to field a consistently successful defense in a Mountain West filled with powerful offenses. He’ll also need to do it without the services of Jerrol Garcia-Williams, a veteran linebacker who is now lost for the season with a torn ACL. “You don’t (replace him),” Clune said. “He’s definitely a good talented player, so you don’t replace him, but guys gotta step up and we have to find the new guys strengths and weaknesses and evolve towards what those guys can do.” Whether Clune can rescue UH’s defense long term remains to be seen, but he’ll be the key to Hawai‘ i’s overall success, as the offense deals with developing raw quarterback Ikaika Woolsey while trying to replace injured running back Joey Iosefa, who will miss 4-6 weeks with a broken ankle. For now, he has the defense and the team, trending in the right direction after last season’s abysmal performance. If Clune can continue to generate positive plays with his defense, he could give Hawai‘ i a solid foundation upon which to build future success.

Finding the next step after the Ray Rice scandal

ILLUSTRATION BY NICHOLAS SMITH / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

Roger Goodell, NFL comissioner, faced a flurry of criticism from media pundits last week. JEREMY NITTA SENIOR STAFF WRITER

The sports world has recently been rocked by the scandal surrounding former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice. The former Pro Bowl star has been at the center of national media due to a video released by TMZ in regard to his domestic violence case with his wife Janay Palmer. Back in February, the running back ﬁrst found himself in trouble when a video was released of him dragging his unconscious wife out of an elevator in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Rice was able to reach a plea deal, receiving just a two-game suspension from the National Football League. The worst seemed to be behind him after his wife decided not to press charges. Rice’s punishment was widely perceived as very minor. Many believed that the NFL was trying to protect its players by sparing them harsher punishment. When star wide receiver Josh Gordon was found guilty of violating the NFL’s drug policy, he was suspended for an entire year, leaving many to question why the NFL was lenient

toward domestic violence compared to drug use. On Monday, Sept. 8, new video footage from inside the elevator was released, which revealed Rice throwing a punch that knocked his wife unconscious. After the new evidence was revealed, the Ravens terminated Rice’s contract, and the NFL suspended him indeﬁnitely. The new punishment was accepted by the general public as just, although overdue. Many analysts stated that it would be a surprise if Rice ever played professional football again, due to the negativity that is now linked to him. On social media, the outpouring of criticism against Rice was overwhelming. “The NFL should have zero tolerance for domestic violence,” Denver Broncos cornerback Chris Harris posted on his Twitter account. “There is never a reason for any man to be violent towards any woman.” “As players we must speak up,” Denver Broncos defensive tackle Terrance Knighton posted online in regards to domestic violence. But despite the nearly overwhelming sense of negativity about the scandal, there are some positives

NFL REACTIONS VIA TWITTER

that can be drawn from the chaos. Domestic violence prevention groups, such PAU Violence here at the University of Hawai‘i, were pleased with the action that the NFL took. “It’s pleasing to hear the NFL has

cated, famous, working class, celebrities, politicians, anyone. Cases like this that make headlines can be used as a learning opportunity. It sends a few messages. What happened here sends the strong mes-

“Anyone can experience domestic violence: rich, poor, educated, famous, working class, celebrities, politicians, anyone.” – LESLIE CABINGABANG PROGRAM COORDINATOR FOR PAU VIOLENCE

taken the steps they have to address domestic violence in the league and for the Ravens to have terminated Ray Rice,” said Leslie Cabingabang, the program coordinator for PAU Violence. “This is a strong message to the athletic community and to society in general.” Also, seeing the NFL hold an athlete accountable after seeing so many athletes seemingly “get out of jail free, was viewed as a refreshing change. “I think this is just one example of how intimate partner violence knows no boundaries,” Cabingabang said. “Anyone can experience domestic violence: rich, poor, edu-

sage that domestic violence is not tolerated. Even by a large organization that has a huge following.” But Cabingabang said that while the handling of the Ray Rice situation was a step in the right direction, more steps must now be taken to continue the battle against domestic violence. “Domestic violence is serious in that it is happening all the time,” Cabingabang said. “Nationally, one in four women are abused by their intimate partner in their lifetime. Keep in mind this number is just of the cases we know about. It doesn’t necessarily account for cases that are not reported or the number of

men that are abused. In my opinion, because it’s so frequent and we see it all the time, we minimize its impact.” Cabingabang ﬁnished by hoping that people will view this as a learning experience for the future. “While we see the impact and the emotions around all this, we have to keep in mind, domestic violence is happening all around us,” Cabingabang said. “The NFL can be used as an example that everyone needs to take a role. Holding people accountable for their violent behavior in addition to supporting survivors and education needs to continue, hand in hand. These are not isolated incidences. The conversation needs to continue. Actions need to continue. Support needs to continue.” Ray Rice received his ﬁnal verdict, with others still to answer for their role in the scandal as the story unfolds. Now comes the time for his punishment to inform and aid the next generation of domestic violence advocates.
