UH students study languages on State Dept. scholarship Selective award focuses on critical languages

DREW DEBRO STAFF WRITER

While many students spent their summer at the beach, Mānoa student Jarrod Brown spent 50 hours a week learning Indonesian, an experience he described as “intense.”

“Imagine if you had an average of 50 hours a week of structured language learning to return home to your host family who spoke only the target language,” he said.

Brown, a Ph.D. candidate who studied in Malang, Indonesia, was one of three Mānoa students that participated in the U.S. Department of State’s Critical Language Scholarship Summer Program.

Elaine Clayton, public affairs specialist for the United States Department of State, says the program offers intensive summer language studies in 13 critical languages from Azerbaijani to Chinese with beginning, intermediate and

advanced levels.

Ryan Mandado, another scholarship recipient, said the Mandarin Chinese program he participated in was rigorous. Each day, he was required to follow a strict schedule to improve his language skills. His classes lasted for four hours each day – two hours of listening and speaking and two hours of reading and writing. The classes were taught in the language by native professors.

“The program had a language pledge to only speak Chinese, and we had a three-strike policy, so that if we were caught speaking English three times we would be sent home,” Mandado said.

Even though the program was challenging, Mandado said he benefited from the language partner component, which assigned scholarship recipients to a language partner who was typically a college student in the country.

Scholarship recipients would attend hour-long daily sessions with their

Participants are also expected to continue their language study beyond the scholarship period and apply their skills in their future careers, according to a department press release. “(The program offers) undergraduate and graduate students opportunity to engage in “...if we were caught speaking English three the intensive, group-based language immersion programs, which help times we would be sent home.” them develop fluency in their tar– RYAN MANDADO get language and gain knowledge STUDENT of the host culture and the communities they live in,” Clayton said. social issues in America and China guages and he continues to pursue According to Mandado, the Ameriand what college students are doing mastery of both on campus. can Councils for International EducaUH Mānoa student Tamara Luthy tion administered the scholarship’s now to help with these issues.”

ASUH wants to slow UPASS rate hike Senate approves resolution opposing city’s two-year plan MEAKALIA PREVICH-LIU ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

The resolution also stated that ASUH conducted a survey via MyUH Portal during Fall 2013, which collected 1,386 student responses.

responents said they use TheBus as their primary mode of transportation and the increase in the UPASS fee could negatively affect the campus and the surrounding community.

ASUH senators passed a resolution Sept. 3 in support of a more favorable UPASS rate as the city proposed to increase the cost of the student bus pass for starting in the spring.

Senate resolution 04-15 addresses the city-proposed two-year UPASS from the current $30 fee to $50 a semester at the start of Spring 2015.

Another increase of $75 a semester would take place at the start of spring 2016.

“It’s too sudden,” said Senator Sean Mitsui, who introduced the resolution. This is the last semester that it’s going to be $30, right FILE PHOTO / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I now it’s like crunch time. “Then it’s The cost of a UPASS for TheBus, a required purchase for all UH going to go up $50 and $75.” undergraduates, would double under a proposal from the city.

Mitsui said he first became aware of the new UPASS contract last semester. THe draft contract was introduced by the city in May. Mitsui said ASUH and students need to act quickly to fight the increases.

“It’s really time sensitive,” Mitsui said. “For the people who are for it, a lot of them would say it’s one of the main great perks of being a UH Mānoa student. $30 for a bus pass, that’s a really great deal – no doubt UPASS is one of the good fees that’s here to stay.”

ASUH senators unanimously agreed on the resolution at the meeting, but College of Arts and Sciences Senator Rio Kwon said the resolution was too broad, adding that he wanted the resolution to suggest a specific dollar amount instead of saying it’s too

much money.

“Its quite a steal compared to paying $60 a month, so I didn’t really want to go against them and say, look, it’s $75, you are totally ripping us off, but I wanted to keep it a little bit more broad,” Mitsui said, responding to why the resolution used the broad wording. The goals, Mitsui said, is for the city to see the students’ perspective and keep the UPASS at the same rate.

“At the end I hope the success of the UPASS continues and we could maintain a quality relationship with the people who provide the UPASS for us,” Mitsui said.

The city could not be reached by Ka Leo for immediate comment.

MAKAKILO BRUSH FIRE FLARES UP AGAIN

STUDENTS RECEIVED FREE BOOKS AS PART OF 15 TO FINISH

UH MĀNOA LAW SCHOOL WELCOMED LARGEST INCOMING CLASS

US AND ALLIES BACK SYRIAN REBELS TO FIGHT ISLAMIC STATE

A wildfire in Makakilo, which was caused after two 7-year-olds played with a lighter, started up again.

James Todd, Honolulu fire captain, said high winds are what caused the fire to flare up, and no homes were evacuated.

Ever since the fire first erupted, firefighters continuously returned to the area to try and extinguish it.

It charred about 1,000 acres.

Taking 15 credits a semester led a group of students to receive free textbooks this fall as part of the 15 to Finish UH Bookstore Promotion.

The promotion encouraged incoming freshmen to take 15 or more credits per semester to graduate on time. Freshmen who earned at least 30 credits last academic year and were in good academic standing were eligible to receive free books. A total of 19 students across the system were selected.

Winning students were able to save hundreds of dollars, and the UH Bookstore plans to continue this promotion.

The William S. Richardson School of Law at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa campus welcomed the largest incoming class in its 41-year history.

According to a UH press release, the class size for the full-time program this fall has almost doubled in size from a year ago, with 99 incoming JD candidates this year compared to 53 last year. The law school also enrolled 24 students in its evening part-time program, another seven candidates in the LLM (Masters of Law) program, seven students in its new advanced JD program – six transfer students and two visiting students. The fall 2014 entering class stands at a total of 145 students.

“We are very excited to have so many students taking advantage of our personalized instruction and our relatively low tuition,” said Dean Avi Soifer, dean of the school of law.

“They can expect the rare experience of a rigorous legal education that students actually like. And the word is out that our students actually support each other and that they can expect to get challenging legal jobs.”

President Obama said Friday a new NATO-directed coalition could reach out to Syrian rebels as proxy fighters to battle Islamic State militants.

The potential outreach is part of an international coalition created to conduct a multi-layered battle against the Islamic State and could mark a significant shift in Western intervention inside Syria. Tactics will stretch beyond the battlefield such as trying to disrupt its recruiting and financial networks.

The coalition is made up of 10 nations and was forged during the two-day NATO summit in Wales. It represents an extreme attempt to undercut the Islamic State factions controlling parts of northern Iraq and Syria.

This comes after the heightened threat from the group, drawing international condemnation for brutalities that include mass killings and the beheadings of two American journalists.

WEB EDITOR 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,” she 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.”

Cat caregivers coming to campus a problem

ALDEN ALAYVILLA / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

MEAKALIA PREVICH-LIU ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

The head of the University of Hawai‘i Feral Cat Management Program says the university needs to crack down on unauthorized cat feeders.

According to Roxanne Adams, director of buildings and grounds management, the issues are with people who don’t follow protocol and do not sign up with the group of authorized cat caregivers.

“The real issues we’ve had are not with people associated with the program, but with people not associated with the program and are not following the protocols. They feed in areas they shouldn’t be feeding,” Adams said. “We have incidents of someone feeding on the rooftop, people feeding on ledges and the second and third floor of three story buildings ‒ which is dangerous for both the feeder and the cat. Those are the issues I think we have more often than not.”

Feeders who are not authorized don’t know the harm that it can cause for the cats, Adams said.

The cat caregivers don’t feed next to cars, and when other people not involved with the program feed them there, cats are more likely to get run over.

“The cats can either get ran over or they crawl up into engine compartment and get caught up when the car gets started,” Adams said.

“That’s not good for cats, and that’s not good for people.”

The guidelines, she said, specify that authorized people can only feed in certain areas and explains how food given to cats should be

distributed while on UH campus.

“You lay your food down, the cats come and feed, you pick up any extra food cause it leads to roaches, ants and rats, and you need to keep the area clean,” she said.

“If they (authorized feeders), are not following those procedures, it’s easy for us to remind them because we’ll see the evidence in those locations and quickly call the manager and say, ‘Hey, we’re having issues over here, please talk to your assistants and make sure your following the rules.’

And it gets taken care of. For those not associated with our program, it’s hard for the department to contact them and let them know what the program is trying to do. This is why we want you to stay within the guidelines.”

NEED FOR A COUNT

Although one of the main issues the program faces is unauthorized users feeding cats, the last count of all cats on campus was taken almost three years ago, where the number ranged between 250-300 cats.

“That’s the part that we’re not really clear of because we have two different numbers,” she said.

“We used to have a graduate student that helped us take census numbers and we just don’t have the funding. Her numbers were different from our county managers numbers and we don’t know if we’re double counting or if they’re not counting enough, but the numbers are lower than our graduate student numbers were.”

UH Mānoa student Courtney Teague believes that the estimates are low.

“I think that they should have more accurate statistics if they’re

going to make claims like that, and try and do something about it because I’m pretty sure that they saw my own observation that there’s more than 300 cats,” Teague said.

The numbers are more accurate when the cat managers or assistants do it, Adams said, because the same cats that feed in the area

Program brochure, Adams says, while informing them that they are welcome to join the program and should contact the office.

After three warnings, affiliates of the university which include faculty, staff or students can expect security to send a notice to their department head letting them know that

“We have incidents of someone feeding on the rooftop, people feeding on ledges and the second and third floor of three story buildings” – ROXANNE ADAMS DIRECTOR OF BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS MANAGEMENT

will show up and they will know when double counting occurs.

Adams plans to address the issue of data organization this semester, and wants to start creating deadlines for the four cat colony managers and 14 assistant managers to turn in their colony counts.

POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS

Each of the cat colony managers as well as assistants will get an identification tag and wear it around their neck. The tags will be labeled either cat colony manager or assistant manager underneath their name.

“They wear these when they feed, and we’re working with security now because part of our procedures and policy is that if you are not part of our program, security will come up to you and talk to you,” Adams said. “So we had to have a way to identify them.”

The first time that security catches someone that’s not a feeder, they will give him or her a copy of the Feral Cat Management

the dean or director needs to take action due to them disregarding the policy. If the person is a non-affiliate, they will be considered trespassing and will not be allowed on campus.

“It’s (the policy) been in our brochure for a long time, but we didn’t make steps towards it,” Adams said.

“So we finalized it this summer and we’re moving it forward.”

Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is also an option that Adams is considering as a solution to tracking the cats on campus.

“We thought about doing some kind of RFID tagging, but we don’t have the labor hours to do that because we would have to trap, and then we would have to be able to read the tag,” Adams said. “So we have been trying to think of ways to do this and develop it, but we haven’t really come up with a good way.”

Despite the program having a RFID reader, Adams says she hasn’t been able to find the time or assistance to do it.

“You have to slip a noose around

the cat’s neck to get the reading, so it’s a little bit more intense instead of just standing out there counting,” Adams said. “It takes a little bit more effort.”

Cat caregivers also have the responsibility to pay for all the food for their specified colony, as well as costs of possible flea infestations or any medication needed.

BUDGET CRUNCH

With the university being in budget constraints as it is, Adams believes it is not a priority to have money on the side for campus cat issues.

“If we were putting money into this, I think the taxpayer would not be happy, but we’re here as an educational facility for the future leaders of our state and maybe even our country, and that’s not one of our main goals or main mission,” Adams said.

Karie Mikasa, UH Mānoa student, said she personally does not mind the cats.

“I don’t see what’s wrong, as long as people with allergies aren’t affected by it,” Mikasa said.

However, Adams believes that the program is at its best it’s ever been.

“It may not look that way when you’re just walking on the street at six in the evening and you see all the cats, but we have a better handle on the cats than we’ve ever had before,” Adams said.

“Now it’s just collecting the data to show there’s a census. We have a really good group of people who are educated and understand the real issue around homeless cats; this is my first really good experience with those who choose to feed cats.”

JABSOM research examines Ebola relative Zaire Ebola strain the focus of the study Fadi Youkhana Managing Editor

The most severe outbreak of the Ebola virus has claimed 2,105 lives causing countries to declare lockdown and forcing the World Health Organization to declare a state of emergency.

“Much needs to be done to bring together the reality of outbreak response and actual delivery of vaccines and therapeutics,” said Axel Lehrer, assistant professor at the Department of Tropical Medicine and Medical Microbiology and Pharmacology at John A. Burns School of Medicine. “We therefore need to prioritize our efforts on the nuts and bolts such as simpler, rapid and reliable diagnostics as that has been identified as a consistent weakness in the current outbreak response.”

Lehrer has been working on filovirus vaccines since 2003. A filovirus belongs to a virus family which causes severe fever in humans and nonhuman primates. The Ebola virus belongs to this virus family.

“The entire family of filoviruses causes severe pathology, so a preventive vaccine needs to protect against at least three viruses: Zaire Ebola virus, Sudan Ebola virus and Marburg virus,” Lehrer said.

Lehrer and his colleagues are attempting to optimize the final vaccine candidate to raise the level of protection against Zaire Ebola virus.

“Our main development path is focused on Zaire Ebola virus (coincidently also the virus responsible for the currently ongoing outbreak in Western Africa),” Lehrer said.

“Although the virus is not considered a threat to the United States, three American doctors have returned to the United States from West Africa to receive treatment after being infected

by Ebola while working with humanitarian organizations.”

Aid workers Kent Brantly and Nancy Writebol were infected while treating patients. Both were treated and have recovered. Physician Rich Sacra was air lifted from Liberia to Nebraska for treatment after being exposed to the virus while delivering babies at a hospital in Liberia.

“The inter-connectedness of the world via air travel could make it feasible that an introduction via an early stage infected person

could occur,” Lehrer said.

According to Lehrer, most of the filoviruses are endemic to Africa.

“This most likely means that the Pacific region does not have an immediate threat of a naturally occurring Ebola virus outbreak,” Lehrer said.

Researchers have yet to prove the manner through which the virus initially appears in humans at the first stage of an outbreak.

However, it is widely believed that the first patient is infected via contact with an infected animal. Transmission then spreads to other humans via direct contact or exposure to objects that are contaminated.

Ebola’s high mortality rate, 91 percent, has prevented patients from recovering.

“In settings with poor hygiene (especially also in medical facilities), the viruses are very dangerous as sick patients will shed a lot of virus and the viruses are very contagious if not neutralized,” Lehrer said.

The White House asked Congress on Sept. 5 for $30 million to pay for the Center of Disease Control and Prevention’s efforts to counter the outbreak. The $30 million is an addition to the $58 million already in place to help the developmental and manufacturing of vaccines.

New reports surfaced on Sunday of a monkey vaccine which gave the monkeys a “long-term” immunity to Ebola. The experiments were conducted by the National Institute of Health and showed that the monkey’s immunity could last for at least 10 months. The human trials have only been limited to the U.S., but plans are to extend the vaccine trials to the U.K. and Africa.

The virus was first identified in Guinea and then began to spread

into neighboring Sierra Leone and Liberia, forcing the local governments to take several actions including shutting down air travel.

“Sierra Leone and Liberia are countries that have recently experienced civil wars,” Lehrer said.

“Therefore their infrastructure as well as stability and order are compromised and basic medical care has been poor.”

Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Gabon, South Sudan, Ivory Coast, Uganda, Republic of the Congo and South Africa have had confirmed cases of Ebola and have been listed by the World Health Organization as countries that could risk exposure to the disease.

The outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has claimed 31 deaths, but researchers believe that it is unrelated to the West African outbreak.

Mānoa among most affordable colleges in the West

ALEX BITTER / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

NOELLE FUJII NEWS EDITOR

The University of Hawai‘i Mānoa campus is the fifth most affordable public college in the West, according to a list by Great Value Colleges.

With a net price of $11,345 a year, the campus is described as “affordable,” which the website defines as having a net price below $22,000.

Net price is the total cost of attendance at a college without a financial aid package.

“We are delighted to see the Great Value Colleges recognize the

superior value offered to the citizens of Hawai‘i by UH Mānoa, rec-

to the citizens of Hawai‘ i, and this confirms our success in achieving

ognized as the fifth most affordable public college in the West,” said Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Reed Dasenbrock in an email. “Our primary goal is to offer a superior education at an affordable price

that goal.”

To find the most affordable colleges in the Western region – comprised of states from New Mexico to Washington to Hawai‘ i – Great Value Colleges created a list of

the regionally accredited institutions and then narrowed down the schools that met its definition of affordable.

The website also collected data on eight quality indicators: 6-year graduation rate, freshmen retention rate, student-to-faculty ratio, percentage of classes entrusted to graduate assistants, average entrance ACT score, number of campus organizations, number of academic programs, and Forbes ranking.

Points were then assigned to each school based on performance

in each category.

The Mānoa campus received a quality ranking of 22.

California State University-Long Beach ranked as the most affordable public college with a net price of $8,169 with the University of Washington ranking second with a net price of $9,559.

According to its website, Great Value Colleges seeks to help students find affordable colleges. Its rankings are based on public information from third-party sources.

Grad is first Saudi woman to earn Mānoa Ph.D. Away from home, Omar forms Islamic society NOELLE FUJII NEWS EDITOR

Having received a Ph.D. from the University of Hawai‘i Mānoa’s College of Education, Hana Omar is the first woman from Saudi Arabia to earn such a degree from the campus.

“It is an honor to be the first Saudi woman who earned a Ph.D. from UHM. And I hope to see more Saudi graduates from UHM,” Omar said. “ … (The) College of Education (COE) at UHM is one of the top 100 in the U.S.. People think when you study in Hawai‘ i, you are in vacation.”

Omar decided to study educational technology for her doctoral degree when she was attending the

University of Pittsburgh. She originally wanted to study political science and then computer science before deciding on education.

“One of my friends knows a professor in the field of education. She asked him and he recommended this major and he explained that having a degree in educational technology will be very beneficial for Saudi Arabia,” she said. “He explained that there is a demand in the Middle East for (a) new field like this.”

She also received an interdisciplinary certificate in disability and diversity studies from the COE, according to a UH news release.

Omar said the COE doesn’t focus only on education but also on building a competitive leader with

various skills, such as social, educational or other professional skills.

While attending UH Mānoa, Omar found the faculty to be encouraging and the environment supporting.

But when she first arrived, it was

zation to create an environment, based on Islamic principles and values, for the academic, social and spiritual needs of Muslim students or those interested in Islam, and to encourage learning and discussion about Islam amongst members and

hard for her to meet people from the Middle East and Islamic countries, so she started the Islamic Society at UH Mānoa for her and other students to do so.

“I decided to form an organi-

the community at large,” she said.

She also started the organization to begin an interfaith dialogue.

“Of course, it is important for anyone to feel home away from home. For me, I met many people

through the organization and now I have friends from different countries and I learned a lot from our activities and members,” Omar said. “I really enjoyed my time in the Islamic Society.”

Omar believes UH is a good place for international students.

“UH is a perfect environment for an international student,” she said. “I discovered my true me because I spent more time with people from different cultures.

Also, all the professors are great and they taught me not only to be a successful student but also to be independent, more social and to be a leader. My life in Hawai‘ i is an unforgettable experience. It’s totally different from my culture.”

She used it in an issue of The Woman Rebel and was then indicted for violations of the Comstock Law.

Most of these methods of birth control can be found at a Planned Parenthood clinic. Planned Parenthood, as mentioned in the history of birth control, is a great resource for information and services regarding birth control and general information about issues surrounding sex. I encourage anyone with questions about sex or birth control to visit her nearest Planned Parenthood clinic or visit its website.

To all the birth control users out there, be informed of your rights.

Have no shame for your sexuality or your desire to have absolute control over your bodies and your futures. Most importantly, know that you’re not alone in the alienation that women must undergo to simply protect what is rightfully theirs – what is rightfully ours.

HOBBY LOBBY

If you’re not convinced of the existence of a “war on women” and their rights to control what they do with their bodies, you may have missed all the media coverage of the Supreme Court’s decision in the Hobby Lobby case earlier this year – not to mention hundreds of other legislation.

Five men of the Supreme Court decided an employer – in this case the Hobby Lobby – could refuse to cover contraceptives for women.

tic of the group, group as sex is a natural and inevitable part of humans – except for those who identify as asexual. The pill, IUDs, condoms and the morning-after pill are the most convenient. For those who want more long-term contraception, the implant, the shot and the ring are the best options.



With the Republican Party’s “war on women” coming down on reproductive rights, it is no surprise that students, including those at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, aren’t aware of all the options they have for contraception.

one named d six, and Simon – who is from Australia health covstralia where h erage is much more advanced than the U.S. – was able to name eight.



The decision meant that the Hobby Lobby had the right to force their religious beliefs on the hundreds of women who they employ.

Contrary to the beliefs of libertarians and right-wingers, the issue at hand is not the risk of our government becoming a “nanny” state, nor is it a threat to religious freedoms. It is about robbing women of their right to make their own decisions about their bodies and futures.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote in a scathing dissent, “Contraceptive protection is something every woman must have access to, to control her own destiny.”

Accountability, consequences needed for police CIARA KAHAHANE CONTRIBUTING WRITER

A white law enforcement officer shoots a citizen dead and claims that he was just doing his job. Common people, especially those of color, watch in horror as the offender is later acquitted of the crime.

This story isn’t new. It has been repeated for centuries. Michael Brown’s case in Ferguson is just a recent example.

The same story has been told here in Hawai‘ i. The verdict in the second trial of Christopher Deedy was announced a few weeks ago — it found the federal agent not guilty of murder.

Police officers throughout the nation are being questioned for their on-the-job behavior. Police departments should consider re-evaluating their protocols, to ensure that their police force are doing what they are supposed to be doing — protecting citizens.

THE RACE ISSUE

Here in Hawai‘ i, Deedy claimed that he acted in self-defense, having been warned that some Hawaiians have a negative attitude towards governmental officials.

However, the purpose of law enforcement officials is to ensure the safety of not just part of the population, but all of it.

In New York City, the stop-andfrisk law targets blacks and Latinos for police stops and street interrogations. According to the New York Civil Liberties Union, in 2013, 88 percent of New Yorkers frisked as part of the program were innocent.

Only 11 percent of those stopped were white. It seems as if discrimination is still evident.

Suspicious-looking individuals – urban youth, the homeless, Hawaiians and other minorities. Otherwise, drugs, alcohol, or gang-related offenses may be suspected and offered as justification for their arrest or death.

NIGEL PARRY / FLICKR 

COST HOW TO COPE

Stricter sentences for police officers and other law enforcement or government officials must be implemented. If morality won’t stop their trigger fingers, the fear of some greater repercussion must. A few decades in prison on a murder charge may inspire a police officer to think twice about “self-defense.”

But the biggest object in these cases is proof. When the officer’s word stands against that of eyewitnesses, judges seem to lean in favor of the officer. Unfortunately, their dead victims cannot speak.

The question is then how genuine, unbiased evidence can be obtained.

One suggestion voiced lately is mandating that officers wear cameras.

The cost of this technology, both monetary and otherwise, could be

The average taxpayer pays the wages of a police officer and benefits from their service. The taxpayer acts as both customer and employer. Good police service is keeping the citizens safe, and, under no circumstances, gunning down an innocent.

If the citizens are willing to put

such as those happening now might continue.

Complaints about the intrusion on a police officer’s privacy or freedom must be taken with a grain of salt.

From the counter of a Shell station to one at Tiffany’s, many employees conduct their day’s work under a mechanical eye.

Police should be no exception.

SATISFACTION

In retail, many employers also hire secret shoppers or mystery customers who visit to ensure that the workers are doing their jobs properly.If the police departments adopt a similar approach, the propriety of police behavior could be better assessed.

Many Mānoa students pay taxes on income from part-time or fulltime jobs. We are the customers who bank roll our law enforcement officials. We have the right to judge their performance, and the only way to judge that performance is with reasonable transparency in the dispensation of justice.

Our money should pay to keep us satisfied. Moreover, it should pay to keep us safe.

In air travel, courtesy is the best policy KRISTEN PAUL BONIFACIO OPINIONS EDITOR

For anyone familiar with air travel, news about two passengers on a United Airlines flight fighting over leg space will not come as a surprise. Traveling has gotten worse over the years, and personal space has become an issue. But regardless of any situation, travelers should abide by one of the unwritten etiquettes of flying — courtesy for other passengers.

Air travel is a difficult experience since travelers often get caught in awkward situations and may be unsure of how to handle them. From

getting up while your seatmate is sleeping to determining who owns the armrest, flying comes with its own set of etiquettes. Passengers must remember that the best way to handle a conflict is with respect and consideration for other travelers.

THE KNEE DEFENDER

At only $21.95 plus shipping, the “Knee Defender” seems like a bargain for travelers wanting to protect their legroom from passengers in front of them who wish to recline their seat. The device is placed on the legs of the tray table, preventing the seat from reclining.

According to gadgetduck.com,

the site that sells the device, having enough leg room is important for in-flight exercise to protect against deep vein thrombosis, a form of blood clot in the lower leg section.

The Federal Aviation Administration does not ban the knee defender, but companies such as Hawaiian Airlines, Delta and United Airlines do prohibit its use.

Having traveled multiple times, I am aware of how limited and tight airline coach seats can be. But it is selfish to install devices such as the knee defender without the consent of the other passenger being affected.

I understand how problematic traveling can be for anyone over 6 feet tall, but it’s not difficult to politely ask the passenger in front to not recline their seat. If they refuse, asking the flight attendant if it’s possible to find

another seat is another option.

And if leg space is a concern for a traveler, airlines such as American, US Airways, Delta and United offer seating areas that offer up to 5 inches of extra legroom. It’ll be an additional cost, but it’ll provide more space.

HASSLES OF TRAVELING

In my traveling experiences, I would find it rude to recline my seat, especially if I see that the person behind me looks uncomfortable. I look at the situation of reclining your seat as a matter of the golden rule. I would hate it if someone in front of me reclined their seat, so why would I do the same to someone else?

However, it would be upsetting to discover that a passenger installed a device that prevents me from reclining my seat without my permission.

But a compromise could be agreed

upon between two passengers arguing over leg space.

Air travel isn’t what it used to be.

Gone are the days when flying was an exciting experience and traveling was an adventure in itself. It has lost its prestige and it has become a hassle. Getting through long security lines, taking off your shoes, belt, wallet, and any liquids from your bag, plus the airline & baggage add-on fees, make traveling today an unpleasant experience.

If passengers want to make the most out of their travel experience though, being courteous towards other passengers will go a long way.

Getting into an argument over something on an aircraft is stress that nobody wants.

Average time for service at the Honolulu DMV was 19.01 minutes

Ebola demands attention

DMV needs to deal with long lines KRISTEN PAUL BONIFACIO OPINIONS EDITOR

The Department of Motor Vehicle offices on O‘ahu are notorious for their long wait times.

If you’ve visited any of their offices, you’re familiar with the long lines. Those wait times have become problematic, and it’s about time for the department to do something about it.

An audit released in August and requested by the Honolulu City Council states that the Motor Vehicle, Licensing and Permits Division (MVLP) “did not consider the long lines and long waits as valid concerns” and that “ its priority was on correctly processing driver licenses and identification cards, and efficiently completing each transaction.”

Indeed, the MVLP’s priority should be on correctly processing each transaction, but the agency shouldn’t be limited to this. Its customer service needs to go beyond performing the most basic tasks.

WHAT CAN BE DONE?

Ever since my first visit to the DMV, I’ve encountered long lines. Going there wouldn’t be a problem if getting my license or state ID renewed didn’t take two to three hours. Even if driver’s needed to get these identifications renewed once a year the rarity of such visits shouldn’t be a reason to not address the problem.

There are different possible solutions that the department can consider. Those suggested by the audit include waiting areas with magazines and televisions and engaging with the customers.

When I’ve visited the DMV, workers would only approach the line to check your documentation, and they seemed really

unfriendly. Smiling and making small talks with the customers waiting in line would not be a bad thing.

Although these might not reduce the wait time, they are suggestions that the DMV should consider to make the experience for the customers better. A friendlier atmosphere would make the DMV office more bearable.

It seems inconsiderate that customers are expected to stand in line and wait, sometimes for hours. The first-come, first-serve approach could be addressed in a different manner.

Installing a number-pulling system is worth another try, this time with security to keep people from taking numbers and selling them to other people. There are numerous service providers throughout the state that do this.

IT’S TIME TO WAKE UP

Waiting times to secure reservations are typically three months.

Those relying on walk-ins for their driver’s test wait in line for days, often camping outside of the DMV building. It’s not fair that by the time they take their road test, they’re tired, hungry and unable to perform at their best.

The DMV can see how problematic the long lines are becoming for customers, yet they are refusing to accept that fact. With their lack of effective customer service, a majority of O‘ahu’s residents are affected.

Their current protocols may get basic tasks done, but they are not efficient. Locals will continue to get upset, and the DMV needs to find a solution. Long lines can be addressed through experimenting with new ways of customer management and determining which ones are effective. ////////////////////////// K a L e o O H a w a i ‘ i

EUROPEAN COMMISSION DGECHO / FLICKR 

According to the World Health Organization, Ebola has killed 2,105 people in West Africa’s outbreak..

JASON SASAN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Epidemics are nothing new to our civilizations. Remember SARS in Asia and Canada, bird flu in China and swine flu in Mexico. These viruses have been affecting our world for centuries. With the outbreak of Ebola, there’s another infectious disease winding its way through Western Africa, and it demands to be taken seriously.

THE OUTBREAK

With more than 3,500 confirmed cases across five different countries, the numbers are enough to cause concern. However, the devil of this particular outbreak is in the details – and they paint a grim picture.

Ebola, which currently has no vaccine or cure, has a high mortality rate of 50 to 60 percent. Several vaccines and treatments are in the works, but though some show promise, none will be ready until next year at the earliest.

According to the World Helath Organization (WHO) the death toll for the current Ebola outbreak that began five onths ago has surpassed 2000 deaths. The organization also states that this is the most widespread outbreak of Ebola in history.

Even when facilities are available, there’s no guarantee of safety.

Over one hundred medical personnel have already died while treating patients, some of them prominent figures. Sierra Leone’s foremost authority on hemorrhagic fever, Dr. Sheik Humarr Khan, along with several of his colleagues, were among them.

If trained professionals – experts

in their field wearing suits designed to shield the body from exposure – contracted a disease they know more about than anyone else, addressing this issue should be a priority.

RESISTANCE

Yet, in some areas affected by the outbreak, the disease isn’t the only danger responders face. Fear and ignorance among segments of the local population have already hindered the efforts of health workers.

100+ A few weeks ago, a treatment center in Liberia’s capital, Monrovia, was stormed by an angry mob.

Club-wielding citizens forced open an isolation ward, releasing its Ebola-ridden patients back onto the streets, where they’re free to infect more of the capital.

Furthermore, there are reports that some, far from being concerned about the virus, believe it’s a government scam.

Indeed, this is somewhat of a common sentiment in the region.

According to some locals, Ebola isn’t even a real disease.

Theories abound that the government is seizing people infected with malaria, euthanizing them and spreading false information in order to garner sympathy and international money.

Among knowledgeable locals, Ebola’s reputation can still make treatment a difficult proposition.

Differentiating the illness from other fevers found in the area isn’t always easy, introducing a level of uncertainty. There are some avoiding treatment centers altogether, concerned that if they don’t have Ebola yet, they’ll surely contract it seeking help.

Families with relatives clearly affected by the outbreak are also hesitant; it’s well known that bodies of the deceased are disposed of, and families fear that admitting a family

MEDICAL PERSONNEL THAT HAVE ALREADY DIED TREATING EBOLA PATIENTS

member to a clinic could be the last time they’re ever seen.

ACT BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE

While a reliable treatment for Ebola is far off, there are other diseases in the region that can be easily treated but still claim many lives in Africa. In 2012, according to the World Health Organization, over half a million people succumbed to malaria, most of them in Africa. An estimated 1.2 million died due to tuberculosis the same year, while worldwide, over 100,000 people perish annually of cholera.

These numbers are sobering. But let’s use them to do better, both in preventing new terrors and eradicating old ones. Let’s not allow Ebola to reach the same level as these other diseases. And, let’s hope that in the future, it doesn’t take a fresh and scary name to draw attention to a region stricken by treatable diseases.

Re / Charting UH exhibit explores technology’s place in ceramic art

Many of the ceramics were hand-crafted, while others were created through digital means.

BRAD DELL FEATURES EDITOR

As an art form, ceramics transcends different historical periods and cultures.

“Re / Charting,” an art exhibit at the UH Mānoa Art Gallery, explores the medium and how it is putting a new twist on this ancient art.

THE EXHIBIT

Viewers of the exhibit step through the gallery doors and are exposed to a collection of ceramic

pieces placed upon elevated wooden platforms.

In a glass case at the front sits three ancient pottery vessels provided by the John Young Museum of Art – an 11th Century Korean funerary jar, a 15th Century Thai kendi vessel and a bronze Chinese ritual vessel dating as far back as the 17th Century B.C.E. Beyond lies the collaborative work of SUNY New Paltz Assistant Professor of Ceramics, Bryan Czibesz and the newest member of the UH Mānoa Art Department, Assis-

While Spangler prefers handcrafting his pieces, Czibesz specializes in using 3-D printing technology to produce his work.

“The historical objects we chose are to be interpreted as prime objects,” Spangler said. “These objects, valued for their provenance, are used as cultural markers. ‘Re / Charting’ exploits this history, utilizing both traditional methods and new digital tools to reinterpret our points of origin. The resultant work presents a spatial map of objects, transformation and re-contextualization from these three points of origin.”

The use of both traditional and digital methods to create the ceramics is a focal point for the exhibit. (“Re / Charting”) refers to the use of digital tools in the context of the very old, very direct technology of working in clay,” Czibesz said. “We hoped to utilize new digital tools to chart the territory between

The ceramicist’s other work focuses on machinery that explores prosthesis and kinetic art. Interactive pieces demonstrating this passion are also at the exhibit and were built by hand.

“My father is an engineer, so I grew up with tools, machines and a workshop environment,” Czibesz said. “This fostered in me an interest in working with my hands, so as I decided what career path I wanted to pursue, I went from engineering to architecture to art to ceramics.”

new questions are provided for us,” Czibesz said.

The question of how ceramics have changed with time has been on Spangler’s mind since his college days. In his sophomore year, Spangler was given an assignment to take an image of a historical vessel and translate it into clay. Months later, he was able to hold the original vessel in his own hands.

“In handling this pot, it was surprising to feel how different my interpretation was of the actual object,” Spangler said. “It was a profound moment for me.”

Years later he said, “Re / Charting” allows him to explore this moment and its meaning. Spangler and Czibesz stretched this exploration even further by adding the question of how the move toward digital and mechanical means of creating ceramics has changed interpretation.

“Art and technology are implicitly tied and continue to shape and inspire one another,” Spangler said.

“Existing and developing technologies will always be a catalyst to influence how the arts are taught, created, viewed and marketed – in some instances, transformed – in relation to the transition to a digital society.”

THEMATICS

“(Spangler and I) are both the kinds of people who are curious about questions and find that the more questions we ask, the more

MARKET RUNDOWN Makiki Farmers’ Market brings healthy eats to the community

TINA ROGERS CONTRIBUTING WRITER

There are many farmers’ markets to choose from, thanks to Hawai‘ i residents’ appreciation of buying local. For those living on and around campus looking for fresh produce, craft items

and cheap, ready-to-eat foods, the Makiki Farmers’ Market is the place to start. The atmosphere is laid back, with the residents and vendors’ greeting each other as though they’re at a neighborhood block party. There are a number of tables available at the center of the market, which is a prime

location for people to relax, eat, drink (BYOB) and catch up with friends. Unlike some markets, it’s also a friendly place for owners’ dogs to interact with one another.

The Makiki Farmers’ Market is small compared to others in Honolulu such as the Blaisdell or Kapi‘olani Comminunity College Farmers’ Markets, but it still has vendors and food stalls that are worth visiting. Ono Pops has joined the group of vendors, along with a popcorn tent and a few other booths that show up from time to time.

My personal favorite vendor at the market is Olay Thai, which has a delicious pad thai ($9.50) covered in their house-made special sauce, as well as various curries.

Sweet Revenge, another vendor, offers an assortment of unique mini pies that have delicious flavor combinations such as chocolate strawberry and Thai chicken.

While the $8 per pie price tag may seem steep to some, they are worth the price, especially the lemon crunch pie which is comparable to the famous Aiea Bowl Crunch Cake. Booths serving tacos, local fare and Korean barbecue for a reasonable price that rivals many restaurants may also be found.

Besides the food stalls, there are also the standard fresh produce vendors who have some beautiful products like bell peppers, various squash and mirepoix basics. These are cheap, healthy options for students looking to cook fresh meals.

All in all, the Makiki Farmers’ Market is a real gem with delicious food, cheap vendors and a supportive community that brings the farmers’ market to life.

MAKIKI FARMERS’ MARKET LOCATION Parish Church of St. Clement 1515 Wilder Ave. HOURS Every Thursday 5 p.m.

PARKING Parking seems to be the only pitfall.

Street parking is the only choice and finding it can be quite challenging in Makiki. Parking two blocks away next to Punahou School is recommended, or near the Makiki District Park. For those traveling from campus, take Wilder Avenue towards Punahou School, and the market will be on the left side of the street.

The exhibt includes a variety of traditionally turned and 3-D printed ceramics.

Artists blend old and new styles from page 15

Czibesz said that the goal of the exhibit is not to decide whether using technological or traditional methods are best.

“I look at it this way: We invent machines – and any tools, really – to satisfy needs,” Czibesz said.

“Using them to their strengths and using the right tool for the right job is the most important thing. For me, there are things that are quite simply easier and more enjoyable to do by hand. I try not to allow the allure of new technologies get in the way of that.”

Themes such as “authorship, authenticity and the slippery

boundaries between convention and invention” are referenced to by the placards placed on the exhibit walls, but both ceramists believe that gallery viewers should draw their own interpretations when walking through “Re / Charting.”

COLLABORATION

The two artists have been collaborating since 2010 thanks to their shared interest in the intersection of art and technology.

“Bryan Czibesz and I both remain fascinated with how technology, which is constantly in

renewal or transition, continues to transform the timeless tradition and production of ceramic work,” Spangler said. “Professor Czibesz and I work in very different ways utilizing different tools to express our ideas, while sharing similar interests in materials, artistic production and developing technologies in the field.”

All of the ceramics featured in “Re / Charting” – with the exception of the ancient vessels – were created by the two ceramists.

“We both had a hand in each one, which was a revelation both in the way we were using material and also in the way the end result – the objects themselves – looks,” Czibesz said. “The objects are quite unlike anything we have done before.”

King’s Hawaiian opens a new food truck to benefit KCC SHELBY DELL STAFF WRITER

This month marked the debut of King’s Hawaiian new food truck at the Honolulu Night Market in Kaka‘ako.

The Hilo-born company, founded in the 1950’s, has been in Honolulu since 1963. Their original sweet bread recipe has become a popular product in the islands and on the mainland.

Run by the Kapi‘olani Community College culinary program’s staff and students, the truck will be on campus at KCC for lunch hours during the week.

The menu changes daily, and there were four items available at the Honolulu Night Market. I tried The Portuguese Bean Soup ($6), Bahn Mi Sliders ($7) and King’s Hawaiian Fried Ice Cream Roll ($5).

The Portuguese Bean Soup has a thick tomato sauce base and a bit of a zesty kick to it. Unfortunately, the beans were overcooked and it lacked vegetables. While the soup tastes like it could have come from a can, it does come with a delicious side of grilled sweet bread.

The Bahn Mi Sliders are an interesting variation on the classic concept of sliders, with a patty mix of pork, shrimp and vegetables. The meat patty tastes of shrimp and is a little spicy, similar to a seafood-style breakfast sausage patty.

My favorite part of this entrée is the pickled vegetables served on top, which adds a tangy twist to an otherwise boring dish. With the portion size of two sliders, the food is worth the price, but if you are will-

ing to shell out a few extra dollars, you could get something with better quality at another truck.

For dessert, I had the King’s Hawaiian Fried Ice Cream Roll.

Although it is aesthetically appealing, the dish is disappointing due to the soggy outside layer of corn flakes, which makes the frozen “haupia anglaise” filling less desirable. The saviors of this dessert were garnishes of fresh berries, chocolate sauce and whipped cream.

The best part of the experience is the food truck itself. Not only is it clean, but it also has two flat screen televisions mounted on top that

feature a live feed of tweets and Instagram photos from customers using their hashtag (#khfoodtruck).

Despite the addition of technology on the truck, its design echoes the classic orange and beige packaging of King’s Hawaiian products, which is a smart use of branding.

While the menu could use some work, the truck is beneficial to KCC due to the revenue it brings to the school. Both the company and the culinary program seem very open to feedback at this time and said they hope to improve their recipes over time.

WORD ON THE STREET

What are your thoughts on the Re / Charting exhibit? bit?

COMPILED BY JESSICA HOMRICH STAFF WRITER

“I found this exhibit quite impressive. From the types of materials used in Brian Czibesz’s large-scale pieces to the intricate and delicate ceramics on display by Shawn Spangler, the exhibit installation as a whole is very capturing and it’s interesting.”

KRISTEN KERCH Senior, Fine Arts

“This exhibition has a wide range of pieces of art. There are engineered mechanical installations that seem to juxtapose the ceramic pieces which is really interesting. Hope to find out more about it.”

CHASE KOMAKORA Junior, Architecture

“I think it’s awesome that a CNC machine (3-D printer) was used to develop crazy looking art pieces.”

ROY TAKEMURA Senior, Second Language Studies

“…the meticulous detail that went into each piece in this exhibit demonstrates the artist’s keen eye and patient nature. The choice of glazes highlight and bring to life the artwork … the kinetic aspects to the larger pieces brings the audience in and invites their interaction.”

The creator of “Flappy Bird,” Dong Nguyen, has returned from his hiatus with the new app: “Swing Copters.”

Similar to his last project, “Swing Copters” is an arcade game that is set in an 8-bit environment. Players take control of an unnamed character with a helicopter hat, and try to ascend to the highest level possible.

While the goal seems simple, the actual deed couldn’t be more difficult. As players fly higher, platforms with swinging hammers fill the screen. To make matters worse, the controls are extremely challenging to master. To maneuver, all that is needed is a tap on the screen to switch the character’s direction (left or right). Switch directions too soon or too late, though, and the character will run into a wall or platform. The simplicity of the game mixed with the cult controls frustrates, with difficu getting past the first plateven g posing a challenge. Given the form p fact th that the game is so difficult, becomes incredibly addicting; it bec adding a high replay value.

The game is available for free on iOS and Android devices.

POP POP DONUTS KUMU KAHEA THEATRE 

The play takes place in a Catholic all-boys school in the mid-1980s.

‘ Shoyu on Rice’ is filled with thematic flavor ANDREW BAKER STAFF WRITER

Rice is a staple of every Hawaiian household. So is shoyu. Put them together and you have a meaningful play that explores what it means to belong while maintaining a humor that appeals to locals.

Set in 1982, Kumu Kahua Theatre’s comedic coming-of-age production by local playwright Scott Izuka explores friendships and the struggles of fitting in both during high school and beyond.

The struggles are exemplified by two of the main characters, high school senior Stan Ono and his English teacher Cathy Decker.

Ono struggles with the woes of life and love as he tries to balance his friends, his schoolwork and his newfound girlfriend. Meanwhile, Decker, freshly arrived in Honolulu from Kansas, struggles to fit in with her fiancé’s parents. Alternating between the two story lines, audiences can draw parallels between the teacher and student as both struggle to adapt to expectations

and attempt to overcome their own personal obstacles.

The play is a stellar showcase for local talent. Ryan “Oki” Okinaka shines as Stan, portraying a perfect mix of awkwardness and confidence that is typical of high school students. Kimo Albarado and Shawn Vasconcelles, who play Stan’s friends Michael and David, do a fantastic job of recreating the atmosphere of an all-boys school, combining constant irreverence with a cockiness that reveals itself when surrounded by friends.

Bronte Amoy provides a counterbalance to the boys as Stan’s girlfriend, Sarah Chun. She is sweet and friendly, but also has secrets from the past to hide. Her character also works to provides some of the most emotional moments in the play.

As Cathy, Joanna Mills also proves a suitable foil to the homegrown local boys. Her crisp American accent with a slight southern twang stands in sharp contrast to the pidgin accents that most of the other characters exhibit. In partic-

ular, she is set against her soonto-be mother-in-law, played by Kat Nakano. Their differing views on life and love form a great deal of tension and serve to highlight the differences in their respective cultures.

It is really Jim Aina who steals the show, though. As Cathy’s fatherin-law to-be, he plays the rascally old local man perfectly. His humor and wisdom prove to be the heart of the show.

In addition to the great actors, the setting adds considerably to the show. While the scenes within the school are timeless, everything else screams 80s. Ono rocks a side ponytail and scene changes are accompanied by a varied soundtrack that includes Journey and The Human League. The time period is fun without ever being distracting or off-putting.

Well-written and humorous, but with a deep message and a good heart, “Shoyu on Rice” is a fantastic show and a must-see this season.

The red- and white-striped stand cannot be ignored. It’s not because of the high-tech donut fryer or the friendly staff, but the smell. An irresistible, mouth-watering aroma of fried dough, heated sugar and glazes wafts over passerby, drawing them in with the persuasive power of a Siren.

Pop Pop Donuts began gracing O‘ahu’s festivals and markets in 2012. While the fried dough is scrumptious on its own, the innovation of the donut stand lies in its glazes. Rolling out new flavors with every new event, Pop Pop Donuts has created dozens of concoctions, from spicy Nutella to strawberry cheese cake to honey vanilla. Toppings are also often added, ranging from bacon bits to rainbow sprinkles.

Serving miniature donuts at $3.50 for half a dozen and $4.50 for a dozen, the stand is easy on the wallet, which is always a positive for broke college students with a sweet tooth. Just beware of the Freshman 15, new students.

The urban market takeover Farmers’ markets have long been a way for local vendors, performers and artists to display their products and talents.

Recent years have brought a new type of market to the O‘ahu night scene: the urban market.

O‘ahu is now home to markets like the Honolulu Night Market, Eat the Street and Art + Flea.

These markets incorporate much more than the fresh fruits and veggies typical markets have to offer and bring emphasize the art community, local food and crafts people across the island.

ART + FLEA

EAT THE STREET

HONOLULU NIGHT MARKET

Every last Thursday of the month, local vendors of handmade, self-grown or vintage jewelry, apparel, art, music, food and more gather at Ward for the pop-up urban market that began in 2010. Each event has a different theme; last month’s was “House Party” and included a live DJ. Next month’s event is “Petfest” and attendees are encouraged to bring along a four-legged friend. Vendors vary each event but often include Moon Collective clothing, Mistprint hand drawn artwork, Crappy Kids, a clothing company that features a very specific bodily excretion (Read: Pikapoo) and Luna Amante home decor.

Presented by Street Grindz, the last Friday of every month is all about food. The best local food trucks and street vendors bring the many tastes of the island together in Kaka‘ako. Following the basic structure of other markets, Eat the Street has a different theme each month. The most recent event centered around the idea of “breakfast for dinner” and featured dishes including: ham and cheese cupcakes from The Girls Who Bake Next Door, breakfast mac and cheese from MunchieZ by Sweet Pea Cafe and deconstructed Portuguese sausage and egg musubi from Uncle’s Kitchen. In between the regular monthly events, Eat the Street also has events around the island. Sept. 6 is Keiki in the Kitchen at the Honolulu Zoo, and the 13th is Eat the Street: Garlic in Mililani.

Also in conjunction with Street Grindz, the Honolulu Night Market takes place on the third Saturday of every month.

Featuring many similar food trucks and vendors as Eat the Street, the night market adds more live music, performances, art and fashion and often has a special twist each month. September’s market is partnering with PRESENT Project with the theme “Left My heART in Kaka‘ako”.

A recent addition to the market is the King’s Hawaiian food truck, bringing with it Bahn Mi Sliders and a Fried Ice Cream Roll, among other dishes. The usual vendors include: Impressed Juice, serving cold pressed juice in Mason jars: The Firm HNL, Art Truck Hawaii and Uncle’s North Shore Gourmet ice cream – try the Mango Tango ice cream sandwich.

“

We were younger and our souls would intertwine...

- “Fly Away”

”

There is tons of talent here in Hawai‘i.

Dustin Pacleb is a young singer/songwriter from Mililani with an acoustic, alternative style. His songs are very emotional and passionate, but not without variety. It’s common to find musicians with songs that all sound very similar (Mumford and Sons is a prime example), but Pacleb does not have this problem. His songs range from soft and slow to upbeat and even inspirational. One of his slower songs, called “Fly Away,” is an acoustic piece heavy on the guitar. Pacleb has the perfect voice for this genre, and showcases that in his songs with genuine, melancholy lyrics. In contrast, a more solemn tune is the song “Keeps Me Alive.” This song has a little more depth as far as instruments go, with drums and even some soft electric guitar.

While it may fall in the category of typical love songs, it doesn’t lack Pacleb’s personal touch. Lastly, “Something Crazy” has a

head-bobbing beat, but features a hopeful message. The song focuses on the personal problems that everyone faces at one time or another and the issue of reaching out and coming together. It is an uplifting song, and perfect if you’re having a rough day and need a pick-me-up. These few songs only begin to cover the great talent that is Dustin Pacleb. For more songs, check out his EP on iTunes called “Of Love And Simplicity.” Happy listening!

SHANE GRACE / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

Woolsey’s 30 incomplete passes marked the first time since 2007 that a UH quarterback threw that many incompletions.

Incomplete game DAVID MCCRACKEN SENIOR STAFF WRITER

The second game of the 2013 football season was against the Beavers of Oregon State University, who dominated the University of Hawai‘ i Rainbow Warriors 33-14 last season. The storyline was very much the same until the fourth quarter of Saturday’s game against the Beavers, as the Warriors fell behind 38-7 after three quarters of play. Beaver quarterback Sean Mannion threw for 300 yards and three touchdowns on Saturday, compared to his 372 yards thrown and four touchdowns last season.

For all the hype surrounding new defensive coordinator Kevin Clune’s 3-4 system, the Warriors were only able to muster up two sacks for a loss of 12 yards, a fumble recovery, and one interception Saturday. The Warrior’s defense last year gathered two sacks for a loss of 19 yards and one interception against the same opponent. Although Clune’s defense conceded 464 yards to Oregon State tonight, it was an improvement from the 508 yards given up in 2013.

WARRIORS ARE A GREAT SECOND HALF TEAM

Last week against the University of Washington, the Warriors surrendered just 105 yards on defense in the second half on nine UW drives that resulted in nine punts.

Against Oregon State, the Warriors held the Beavers to just 101 yards in the second half on eight drives, with six of those drives resulting in punts and one of them resulting in a fumble recovered by Hawai‘ i. Through two games this year, the Warriors have a combined total of 206 yards allowed on defense in the second halves of their games while only surrendering seven points.

The Warriors offense, despite its inability to score against Washington, collected a total of 388 yards through the second halves of their

games this season, scoring 30 points after the halftime intervals.

Hawai‘i has outscored its opponents 30-7 in the second half of games thus far this season.

WARRIORS ARE A TERRIBLE FIRST HALF TEAM

For a defense that knows how to finish a game off, it certainly doesn’t know how to start one.

Against Washington, Clune’s debut as defensive coordinator started poorly, conceding 238 total yards to the Huskies while surrendering 17 points in the first half.

Against Oregon State the Warriors imploded, conceding 381 total yards and giving the Beavers 31 first half points. Clune’s defense has given up 619 yards to its opponents in the first half of games, and has given its opponents 48 points in the process.

“Overall it was the mental part.

That’s how they jumped on us,” said junior linebacker Lance Williams.

“They tested our corners, and we knew they were going to do that.”

Fortunately, the Warriors offense does well when the defense does well. On the flip side, it also struggles mightily when its defense does the same.

To be fair, UH quarterback Ikaika Woolsey led his offense to 10 points in three red zone trips in the first three drives of the game against the Huskies last Saturday. The first quarter was quite successful for the Warriors, but Woolsey was unable to muster up any more offense for the rest of the first half, as his offense gained 71 yards on 18 plays in the second quarter of play, including a missed field goal attempt from 40 yards. Against Oregon State, Woolsey enjoyed none of the success in the first half like he did against Washington.

“No matter what is going on you have to stay positive,” Woolsey said.

“No one does well in a negative environment.”

Scoring seven points through the first two quarters and register-

“We did a lot of things right and we had a lot of fight and heart in this game. But like coach said, there’s those couple mistakes that can ruin a whole game for you.”

ing 108 total yards of offense, the Warriors were unable to move the chains against the Beavers, suffering five three-and-outs in the first half of play. The Warriors have been outscored by their opponents in the first half of games this year by a margin of 48-17, while being outgained in total yardage by a margin of 619-387.

FLAGS, FLAGS AND MORE FLAGS

Young football teams make mistakes and learn from them. If Saturday’s game against the Beavers gave any indication to the future of Warrior football, there will be a lot of head-shaking and disbelief from its fans.

The Warriors were flagged 12 times for a total of 108 yards against OSU, including a pass interference penalty that resulted in the nullification of a defensive interception that gave the Beavers a first down on the Warriors goal line, resulting in a touchdown.

“Sounds like a broken record, but we played hard. ... But we really need to learn how to play smarter. We can’t make the mistakes we made against a good football team like this,” said head coach Norm Chow.

Offensive lineman Brendan Urban had a particularly rough outing, as he was responsible for four penalties that resulted in a total of 25 yards including a holding penalty on a third-and-15 play in the final minutes of the fourth quarter that resulted in a 10-yard penalty.

CROSS-COUNTRY The Wahine cross-country team completed its first meet of the season on Saturday morning at the Kaneohe Klipper Golf Course, finishing fourth with 95 total points on the five kilometer course.

The following is a collection of University of Hawai‘ i athletic events from Aug. 30th- Sept. 6.

The top finisher for Hawai‘ i was Montana Martinez, a transfer from North Dakota State that finished 19th. Hayley Musashi and Louise Mulvey finished in the Top 25 to round out the three leading performers for the Wahine.

The competition was comprised of five schools, with University of Alaska-Anchorage taking first place in the competition behind lead-runner Beatrice Decker.

WOMEN’S SOCCER Hawai‘ i (2-3) faced defending national champions UCLA last Friday in front of a record attendance of 3,175 fans at the Waipio Peninsula Soccer Stadium.

NICK HUTH ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

Unfortunately, the top-ranked Bruins were able to show why they were the champions last season when they defeated UH 6-0. The loss marked the worst home defeat for the Rainbow Wahine in the program’s history.

FOOTBALL In addition to their game against Oregon State in which they fell 38-30 this last weekend, the Warriors are set to match up against the Beavers again in both 2019 and 2021. The series will be homeand-home and will allow the teams to continue the series that began in 1924. Oregon State is 7-3 against Hawai‘ i throughout the series, and last season they defeated the Warriors 33-14 in Oregon.

WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL The No. 20 Hawai‘i volleyball team competed in the Hawaiian Airlines Wahine Volleyball Classic last week and finished the week with a 2-1 record.

The first match on Thursday saw the Wahine facing New Mexico, in which Hawai‘i (3-2) defeated the Lobos in four sets. Despite dropping the first set 24-26, UH was able to rally to win three consecutive sets to take the match.

On Friday, Hawai‘i matched up against No. 22 Oregon in a five-set duel. The Wahine were down two sets early on, but seized momentum in the third set and almost completed the comeback. The Ducks were able to hold off the ‘Bows in the final set, as they won 15-8.

The Wahine were able to defeat St. John’s in four sets in the final match of the week. Olivia Magill finished the match as the leader in both kills (15) and blocks (12).

THE LEGEND

How Dave Shoji’s career has gone beyond wins and losses

ANTOINETTE RANIT / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

ANDREW SWITAJ STAFF WRITER

The love for volleyball runs deep in the veins of many island inhabitants. Indeed, fans in Hawai‘i frequently find themselves more enamored with volleyball than other sports, including football.

There have been multiple factors that caused the love for the sport, but few can argue against the tremendous success that Dave Shoji has brought to Hawai‘i as the head coach of the Rainbow Wahine.

To talk about women’s volleyball in Hawai‘ i without mentioning Dave Shoji would be impossible. His constant presence over the program has been highlighted by his stoic demeanor that so many fans have become accustomed to seeing over the years. As Shoji enters his 40th season as the head coach of the Wahine, his illustrious career has been a phenomenon filled with countless accolades, awards, praise and overall success.

Shoji’s road to becoming a legend began when he was the setter at UC Santa Barbara, where he earned several honors as a player.

The transition between player and coach seemed an easy one for Shoji, as he has always been attracted to athletics. ”I was fortunate to play in college, and I just wanted to remain in athletics and that influenced me personally,” Shoji said.

But taking over a young Hawai‘i volleyball program at 28 years old

in 1975, few expected the coach to bring so much success to the fledgling team.

In his first four years as head coach, Shoji led the program on two marches to the national championship. He brought the school’s first national championship in 1975.

Shoji would transform the young program into a national powerhouse that would go on to win several national titles.

Shoji has also produced quality players that have played for the U.S. national team. Most notably, Kim Willoughby and Lily Kahumoku helped Hawai‘i reach the semifi-

other teams, but it doesn’t make it a point to make that an excuse,” Adolpho said.

The list of Shoji’s awards over his 40 years is long – he is a member of the AVCA Hall of Fame, 11 time conference and nine time region Coach of the Year and was inducted to the list of all-time great coaches

by USA Volleyball in 2002. Last year, Shoji became the winningest coach in NCAA women’s volleyball, reaching 1,107 wins on Sept. 6, about one year ago. But with every year and award that Shoji has received, the expectation to perform well has also increased.

“He really knows what he is talking about and he has seen it all, he has seen every situation.”

– KALEI ADOLPHO SENIOR CAPTAIN

nal of the NCAA tournament three times in a row.

“It is definitely an honor,” said senior captain Kalei Adolpho about playing under Shoji. “He really knows what he is talking about and he has seen it all, he has seen every situation.”

With players that have been so dominant in the past it is difficult not to make comparisons to previous years. But his honesty about the team and his players has been a mainstay of Shoji’s style.

“He understands where we are as opposed to last year and

“Everyone expects us to win and there is a lot of expectations, so there is pressure on us as a program to do well,” Shoji remarked.

“There are good things and there are things that are tough to live up to. But it is good pressure, you want that kind of pressure on you as a coach, you want that sense of urgency and that’s why we keep doing this.”

The pressure that Shoji refers to has pushed him to keep improving the team to the best of his abilities.

Although the awards and honors are a strong factor in determining

the success that Shoji has had at Hawai‘ i, his definition of success is not determined by a win-loss ratio.

The progression of his players on and off the court is one of the key elements that have led to his status in Hawai‘ i.

“I personally like to see our players progress as players and as people and as students. We have almost a 100 percent graduation rate, and that is something very important to us,” he said.

Shoji has been an inspiration to generations of volleyball players who have come out of Hawai‘ i, acting as a fatherly figure and providing young players with guidance in countless clinics and programs over his 40 years. Perhaps it is not the fact that Shoji has won so many games that has sparked the state’s love for volleyball, but instead his ability to inspire and work with future youth of Hawai‘ i.

His children are a testament to his success with the younger generation, as they instill the same philosophy that Shoji has brought to the volleyball program.

“My sons have been around sports all their life and they’ve come to practice as youngsters,” Shoji said. “They probably got their skills around same time the team got their skills, and that has carried true to the national team which is very amazing.”

FOTU ENERGIZES NEW ZEALAND NICK HUTH ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

New Zealand advanced beyond the group stage in the FIBA World Cup in Spain after an 18-point performance against Finland from University of Hawai‘i standout Isaac Fotu.

The 67-65 victory gave the team, also dubbed the Tall Blacks, a chance to advance from Group C in the tournament depending on other results on the final day of the group stage. When the Dominican Republic fell to Turkey shortly after, New Zealand officially advanced to the knockout round.

In the nation’s first three games, Fotu was averaging just over 14 minutes per game, with the team losing all three matches. Yet in New Zealand’s final two games, Fotu averaged about 25 minutes per game as the nation earned the two victories necessary to advance.

The impact that Fotu had on New Zealand’s tournament success is even more unlikely given that he is just one of five collegiate athletes in the tournament.

Fotu has been the most efficient player on the team so far, with the forward averaging 9.2 points per game on 61 percent shooting alongside 5.2 rebounds per game.

Men’s basketball coach Gib Arnold is in Spain to oversee Fotu’s tournament, and he has been impressed with the junior’s play so far in his development. ‘’He can be a dominant rebounder, and for how big he is, he’s got phenomenal footwork and can put it on the floor,” Arnold said in an interview with Fairfax Media in Bilbao.

Being one of the youngest players in the tournament has been a learning experience for Fotu.

“It’s been great for my game and I’ve learnt a lot just playing against older, more experienced guys,’’ Fotu said in an interview with Fairfax Media. “It will be a good transition going back for my junior year, and I’m definitely going to be better for it.”

New Zealand was knocked out of the tournament by Lithuania on Sunday morning. The Tall Blacks outscored the Lithuanians in the final three quarters, but were unable to complete the comeback required after falling behind 23-9 in the first quarter.

Fotu finished the game with 11 points on 4 of 7 shooting.

There isn’t a stronger bond than that of family.

Family demonstrates togetherness and love for one another, which is something that the University of Hawai‘ i women’s soccer team knows a thing or two about.

The Rainbow Wahine soccer team is a family; sisters in arms assisting each other on the field as well as in everyday life. However, there may be no greater example of sisterly love that is more evident and essential to the team’s success than that of midfielder Krystal Pascua and forward Kama Pascua — who are actually sisters.

“She’s my best friend,” Kama said. “We played and hung out together in high school and now here in college. It’s just been a dream come true.”

Kama Pascua, currently a sophomore for the Rainbow Wahine, really has been living her dream.

Along with playing with her best friend and sister, Kama has been a standout player for Hawai‘i and crucial to the team’s success.

Named to the Big West All-Freshman team last season, Kama has only begun to scratch the surface of her potential as a player and continues to blossom under head coach Michele Nagamine.

Kama’s older sister, Krystal, is currently a senior and captain for the Rainbow Wahine. Named an All-Big West honorable mention and also to the Outrigger Hotels & Resorts Soccer Classic All-Tournament team last season, Krystal has built off the momentum of her junior season and translated it to

“It was relief,” Krystal said. “I saw it happen in my mind before I kicked the ball to be honest.”

Krystal may have scored the winning goal in the game, but it was her sister who gave her the assist.

“I knew that Kama was going to pass it to me, and that I just had to shoot it. I saw Kama with the ball and was just like ‘Kama! Pass the ball!’,” Krystal said.

Someone who had a front row seat to the action was coach Nagamine, who also felt nostalgic watching the Pascua sisters’ chemistry

“We played and hung out together in high school and now here in college. It’s just been a dream come true.”

– KAMA PASCUA

on-field production, as recently as last Monday’s overtime thriller over the Seattle University Redhawks.

In the opening seconds of the first overtime period, Krystal hit a stunning strike into the roof of the net, giving her team the victory and first back-to-back win of the young season.

carry onto the field.

“It was so nice to be able to see them get a goal like that and see them finish that strongly for their team,” Nagamine said. “They are two of the hardest workers we got, they’re super passionate, and they’re always engaged so for the game to end like that, it really was

like poetic justice.”

Born and raised on O‘ahu, both Pascua sisters starred for ‘Iolani School and saw instant action as members of the Rainbow Wahine roster.

The on and off-field chemistry between the two sisters is a special one, and neither of them is taking it for granted.

“Being able to connect with her, it’s surreal,” Kama said. “It’s like a dream, being able to play and connect with her on the field. Yeah, it really is a dream come true. Last year, she (Krystal) assisted me in the last minute of a game and it was the greatest feeling ever.”

As it is Krystal’s senior season this may be the last opportunity for the Pascua sisters to play on the same field together for the same team, which is something that Krystal has realized looking forward.

“We’re embracing every moment,” Krystal said. “Every time we go out there, we try to make our connection as strong as possible and honestly, we’re just enjoying every minute of it.”

RAINBOW WAHINE VOLLEYBALL Outrigger Resorts Volleyball Challenge preview

HAYLEY MUSASHI SPORTS EDITOR

The No. 20 Rainbow Wahine volleyball team (4, 2) looks to continue their preseason success this weekend as the ‘Bows play host to three other top-notch squads in Utah State, UCLA and San Francisco as part of the Outrigger Resorts Volleyball Challenge.

Last season, Hawai‘i claimed the tournament title, overtaking Portland State, Northwestern and Arizona.

This year’s competition looks to be just as formidable as tournaments past since all three schools bring experience, confidence and success.

UTAH STATE

UCLA

UNIVERSITY OF SAN FRANCISCO

The Utah State Aggies (3, 3) will look to carry the momentum of their successful 2013 campaign into the preseason, hoping to accumulate their third 20-win season in a row.

The Aggies concluded last season with a 20-11 overall record and 12-7 record in the Mountain West Conference.

As second-year members of the MWC, the Aggies are poised to be top contenders in the league tournament this season spearheaded by a quintet of talented and experienced seniors.

Utah State has ten letterwinners returning, including four starters and the primary libero from last year.

The USU offense is anchored by the group of seniors – setter Paige Neves, libero Ashlan Rogers-Court, outside hitter Rachel Orr, middle blocker Kaitlyn VanHoff and outside Jamaica Alisa.

The Bruins (3, 2) return to the Stan Sheriff Center poised to continue the storied rivalry between two perennially nationally ranked teams.

In the AVCA Preseason Coaches Poll, the Bruins received the 36th-most points (23), one of nine Pac-12 conference teams to earn votes in the initial rankings. The three other nationally ranked opponents UCLA will face are No. 1 Penn State, No. 11 Illinois and thenranked No. 17 Hawai‘ i.

Last season the Bruins finished 15-15 overall with a 6-14 Pac-12 record.

The Bruins fell in their latest visit to the Aloha State last year in a straight sweep handed down by the ‘Bows.

The University of San Francisco Dons (5, 1) return to the court with a vengeance after missing a post-season berth in 2013 with a fourth-place conference finish.

With their eyes set on the NCAA Tournament, the Dons will be looking to their two European superstars – middle blocker Valentina Zaloznik and opposite/outside hitter Anja Segota to lead the way to the Big Dance.

Zaloznik was named West Coast Conference Player of the Week for Sept. 1 after a thunderous outing where she threw down 13 kills on 14 attempt for a .929 attack percentage, good enough for a USF school record.

The Dons lose starting libero Rebecca Kopilovitch, leaving a void in the pivotal role.

USF finished the 2013 season with a 13-5 overall record and a 9-9 record in the West Coast Conference.
