COUTRNEY TEAGUE ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

The Kaua‘i Community College (KCC) student newspaper, Ka Leo O KCC, will shut down operations at the end of this semester. Ka Leo O KCC, which first started in the 80s, according to Ka Leo O KCC advisor Carol Bain, was cut off from funding in 1992. Twenty years later, the paper returned thanks in part to a $4 per semester fee placed on students. After the paper’s revival in Spring 2012 with the offering of newspaper production lab class JOUR 285V, KCC has determined that journalism courses have not achieved sufficient growth and will no longer be offered. “Since there was no growth in the journalism program from its inception, we have had no choice but to discontinue offering journalism classes,” said KCC Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs James Dire in a memo to the KCC Board of Publications. According to the memo, when the program was presented to KCC’s College Council, it was with the understanding that the growth of the journalism classes and newspaper would contribute to one another – the program would attract a minimum of 10 students and the paper would eventually become self-sufficient with the help of advertisements and no longer require the student publications fee. “Frankly, I thought that they would be impressed that we were very consistent in putting out the paper ... with a very small staff,” Bain said in a phone interview. FALLING SHORT OF EXPECTATIONS

Journalism classes were reevaluated two years after their debut and student enrollment was far below the original projection, Dire said. The instructor was approved for a oneyear extension to improve enrollment rates, however there was no change.

“I was disappointed that there was no increase in the subsequent year in student interest in taking journalism classes,” Dire said in an email interview. He added that the UH system in its entirely was looking into low-enrolling programs to see if they could be improved or if they should be terminated. Still, Ka Leo O KCC editor Shaina Nacion felt that it wasn’t feasible to be a completely self-sustaining publication at their current rates, especially without an advertisement salesperson. Due to the lack of an on-island printing press, $7,000-$8,000 is spent on ordering issues annually, according to Dire. She said the ads bring in about $8,000 annually and

say, ‘Look I contributed to this, I have something concrete to show for my time here,’” Nacion said. In the memo, Dire said that student government must ﬁgure out how to fund the publication and continue without a journalism program, if the campus was still interested in having a newspaper.

ADAPTING TO THE STUDENT BODY A CAMPUS WITHOUT A NEWSPAPER

Though Nacion said the average student might not be affected by the shutting down of Ka Leo O KCC, she did think it would have an impact on student government and those actively involved on-campus. “In the past, we’ve had a few controversial articles where student government members came to the newspaper and had com-

the paper has always stayed “in the black” when it comes to their budget, though without the student fee, Ka Leo O KCC would be unable to print. According to Nacion, Ka Leo O KCC is the only publication at KCC ﬁnanced by the KCC Board of Publications. The paper is printed three times per semester and has a 1,000 copy circulation. Each issue has about two ads. Nacion said she understood why KCC would feel the need to eliminate the low-enrolling class, but wished the college recognized the newspaper for its other merits and allowed the publication to exist independently of journalism courses – like at UH Mānoa. “It would be better if they saw it a different way, as something valuable for students to show their work in and something that students could pass on to people and

plaints about the way student government was run,” Nacion said. “In the future, if there’s no way of checking your power, then people can just pretty much do anything.” Bain also felt that the lack of a newspaper would keep students from truly understanding the state of affairs on their campus. “Not having a printed, campus, student-produced newspaper is going to mean that activities are going to occur, events will happen, issues are gonna come up and our students won’t be kept informed – and whether that’s about tuition increases or new services that may be offered. ... All of that will be lost,” she said. Ka Leo O KCC also has a “Ke Kukui” section that publishes content written by students in the Hawaiian Studies program. Nacion felt the section added depth to the

Despite her interest in journalism, Nacion said she was skeptical that a newspaper at KCC would take off. “Personally, I feel that there’s not any demand for a newspaper here at the college because news travels so quickly that pretty much everything that we publish is either old news or almost old news,” she said. Instead, Nacion plans on presenting a new proposal to the administration for a publication that would use resources from the newspaper. She said her plan is less dependent on advertising sales and will aim to be self-sustaining in a year. In hopes of attracting more students, the publication would take on a magazine-like format and feature shorter content such as “blurbs and interviews” for those who wouldn’t be interested in reading a full-length article. “From a business standpoint, I can understand where [KCC is] coming from, and I would probably do the same thing. But I hope that they listen to the proposal that I have because I think it would be more supportive of students and less about business,” Nacion said. Bain was hopeful that Nacion’s proposal would be considered by KCC administration in order to continue the presence of a campus publication.

Bill asks for student employment funds Senate Bill 325 would fund 600 university student jobs NICOLE DAVIS SENIOR STAFF WRITER

The council holds events at the Sustainability Courtyard that encourage environmental awareness.

Sustainability to remain under VP for Academic Affairs Office NOELLE FUJII NEWS EDITOR

Although a bill that would fund and establish a sustainability office within the University of Hawai‘i system has died, UH is considering creating an office. “The bill dying suggests, states, that our request for general funds will not be kind of met this year, which happens,” Vice President for Administration Jan Gouveia said. “That doesn’t mean that the university still can’t do a lot in terms of formalizing an office and bringing a lot more structure to the program, which we intend to do regardless.” Senate Bill 707 would have appropriated about $500,000, or however much is necessary, from state general revenues in fiscal year 2015-16 and the same amount the following fiscal year, if needed. The bill, which was introduced by Sen. Mike Gabbard, failed to receive a hearing with the senate Ways and Means Committee before the March 6 decking deadline. AN OFFICE FOR SUSTAINABILITY

For Hawai‘i to be a global leader in sustainability, the university must lead the way, Gabbard said. The bill, which also had a house companion, House Bill 1206, would have funded three positions for a chief sustainability officer, system sustainability officer and an energy manager. In addition, there would have also been two part-time student workers, Gabbard said. Further details on the funding for these positions could not be received at the time of publication. According to Gabbard, the money was requested to identify opportunities to implement energy efficiency measures, to develop and implement sustainable funding strategies as well as indicators to measure progress, cultivate students’ pathways to develop leadership in sustainability and to track

and report progress on sustainability projects across the university system. He added that getting students involved is important because they would be involved with real-life situations, which tend to mean more. “Sustainability is important for UH,” he said in a phone interview. “And when you’re on an island in the middle of the Paciﬁc, it means we’re highly vulnerable to climate change impacts, such as rising sea levels, rising energy costs, biodiversity loss, watershed degrada-

462 respondents. It found that 67 percent of 2012 respondents indicated that their positions were housed in a sustainability ofﬁce, compared to 23 percent in 2010. SUSTAINABILITY CURRENTLY AT UH

tion and other challenges that our communities face. And so in my view, Hawai‘i has the potential to be a global leader in sustainability by connecting our deep indigenous knowledge of living in harmony with our lands to modern technologies, and I see UH as being a key part of these efforts.” He added that the main thing is that a serious conversation is taking place about sustainability in UH. SUSTAINABILITY POSITIONS AT OTHER INSTITUTIONS

According to the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education’s (AASHE) 2012 Salaries and Status of Sustainability Staff in Higher Education report, the average salary for a sustainability director or chief sustainability ofﬁcer at higher education institutions is $82,791. The average salary for a sustainability coordinator is $45,000. The AASHE report is based on the results of a 2012 study the organization conducted, which received

who are really interested in it,” she said in a phone interview. “But right now their energies aren’t really coordinated, and it’s having some sort of systemic position where it can be that interface point between the students grassroots effort and the administrative line of power. That is a really, really valuable point across any institution.” According to Gouveia, sustainability will remain housed under her ofﬁce since the bill died. Currently, the only position that supports sustainability is the interim system sustainability coordinator. “We no longer want to kind of do this on a volunteer basis,” she said. “And we want to be serious about the business of sustainability on our campus. So to do that we need to bring structure and formality to it, which we intend to do.” KA LEO MULTIMEDIA STORY Play Ka Leo’s audio story on this topic at: tinyurl.com/PlayKL

A bill that would provide the University of Hawai‘i with an unspecified amount to fund the employment of students on campus for the next two fiscal years continues to move forward. According to Senate Bill 325 (SB 325), its purpose is to “[appropriate] funds to the University of Hawai‘ i to pay student employees at new or expanded work sites on each campus.” The first version of the bill would have provided $2 million, which would fund 600 student jobs for the next two fiscal years through 2017. The Senate Ways and Means Committee on Feb. 25 had changed the amount given to be unspecified to facilitate further discussion on the matter, according to its report. SB 325 was introduced by Sen. Brian Taniguchi of Hawai‘i’s 11th senatorial district. He serves as the chair of the Senate Committee of Higher Education and the Arts and the vice chair of the Senate Commerce and Consumer Protection Committee. “The argument [is] that along with scholarships, student employment is a good way for students to help offset the cost of higher education. It allows them to stay on campus and to contribute to the departments or offices that they work for. It would also be a good opportunity for students to work because their employers would be university people who would understand the trials and tribulations of being a student and who could provide flexibility in scheduling,” said Sen. Taniguchi, in an email interview. THE BUDGET

The budget was based off of the previous amount of $150,000 that was allotted for 150 student employment jobs for a six-month period. This estimation is based off of an average of 4,000 student employees who work 12 hours per week, according to Jan Javinar, Interim Associate Vice President for Student Affairs. The bill states that UH spends nearly $22 million on student employees. The funding is received through both general and federal work-study funds, and tuition and fees.

tributions to the UH Mānoa community in all parts of the campus from the library, student services, research, academic departments, facilities and athletics,” said Wendy Sora, director of the Mānoa Career Center, in an email interview. Student employment is important for the overall functioning of the university, thus this bill is not only imperative for students, but also for the system of the University of Hawai‘ i, according to Sora. “I was a student employee on the Mānoa campus my freshman year. The contacts I made, the skill sets I gained remain with me today in my current role,” said Interim Vice Chancellor for Students Lori Ideta at UH Mānoa in an email interview. “I was very lucky to have amazing supervisors who were interested in my success as a student and as an individual. I am grateful for these experiences that have led directly into my current career.” She believes that student employment is a good venue for students who need funding for personal expenses or student loans and that the experience is an important milestone for students trying to branch out into the professional workforce. Ideta also said that the university would struggle without the assistance of student workers. “On-campus student employees serve as a large and talented workforce for our University of Hawai‘ i system. Our institution would have difficulty functioning at its high level without the myriad of student assistants and their daily contributions,” Ideta said. The Student Employment & Cooperative Education (SECE) is an online database where UH students may create a profile and shop for jobs across the entire university system. Once students locate jobs through SECE and are hired by the university, the pay for student jobs begin at minimum wage and can reach up to $16-18 an hour; depending on one’s qualifications (undergraduate, graduate, major, past work experience, etc.) “I feel like UH Mānoa has an amazing student employment services that all students should be utilizing. It’s great, it’s easy to use, and there’s just so many options to look for that pertain to the applicant,” said UH Mānoa student Isaiah Ledonne.

Claiming the jar Bill to give state more control over UH tuition monies

RAVEN BELLAMY SENIOR STAFF WRITER

A bill forcing University of Hawai‘i authorities to make an operational plan before spending leftover tuition and special fees monies will move on through the Legislature. House Bill 541 (HB 541), introduced by Rep. Isaac Choy, proposes the state general fund hold all revenue collected by each UH campus for regular, summer and continuing education credit tuition, tuition-related course and fee charges, and any other charges to students, except as provided by law. ”It’s inefﬁcient because [UH ofﬁcials] already have so much to do,” said Graduate Student Organization (GSO) member Bret Polopolus-Meredith. A BILL FOR AN ACT

Under the bill, UH authorities would have to make an operational plan, to be approved by the legislature, before spending leftover tuition and special fees. After that, the legislature would be in charge of allocating the funds to the university. The bill states that, “money from this fund will be expended to maintain or improve the university’s programs and operations.” ILLUSTRATION BY MAILI TAKAKI / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I  The tuition and fees special fund While the bill aims to gain transparency, critics say it would take long for all would work in conjunction with the campuses to become transparent. aggregated general fund, in which

naming a need for students to have QR skills.

A quantitative reasoning course may be added to the general education requirements for University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa students under a new proposal by the Quantitative Reasoning Work Group (QRWG). The change would make room for a quantitative reasoning (QR) course to better prepare students for situations outside of the university setting. QR is the ability to apply mathematical concepts to the interpretation and analysis of quantiﬁable information in order to solve a wide range of problems, according to the QRWG. “I think in today’s world quantitative reasoning skills are very important, for students’ professional lives and for their civic lives,” Monica Sitt-Bergh, co-chair for QRWG said. The QRWG was formed in 2014 in response to changes in the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) 2013 handbook

Answers to questions on the hallmarks of a QR course, timelines and possible models are all available in the FAQs portion of the QRWG website. As of now, two models have been created to implement the QR requirements at UH Mānoa. The ﬁrst model would take away a Foundations QR requirement and replace it with the Foundations Symbolic Reasoning (SR). According to the campus catalog, SR is a foundations requirement because the courses aim to develop symbolic techniques in the context of problem solving and the presentation and critical evaluation of evidence; these characteristics fall under the foundations goal of giving students skills to succeed in higher education and beyond. According to the model given in the FAQ, replacing SR with QR would allow students the same type of

KEEPING THE GEN EDS NEUTRAL

problem solving benefits, but with a more broad spectrum of application. The second model would be the same as the first, but would also replace one Writing Intensive (WI) requirement with a QR focus requirement. Focus requirements allow students to concentrate on a subject with more clarity and direction. The benefits of this change would be two QR courses, while not taking away from other requirements. Students are currently required to take five WI classes, but the change would decrease this number down to four. According to Peter Garrod, the General Education Committee chairman for the campus faculty senate, the change in requirements would have no effect on tuition, no impact on Science, Technology, Engineering and Math majors and only a minor impact on non-STEM majors. “We have always operated on the position that we would not add to the existing general education requirements but, keep them neutral. Meaning, if our committee were to propose a quantitative reasoning requirement,

money exceeding a certain dollar amount from the special fund would lapse to the credit of an aggregated general state fund. According to UH Vice President for Budget and Finance and Chief Financial Ofﬁcer Kalbert K. Young, there are approximately $40 million in unspent tuition and special fees monies currently. THE PURPOSE

HB 541 aims to gain transparency for future tuition budget spending. The bill’s proposal to have the legislature approve an operational plan made by UH budget ofﬁcials, takes a portion of the budget responsibility away from university and into the hands of the legislature. “Because the budget information is conﬁdential, people do not yet know the full effects of what we intend to do,” Choy said in a telephone interview. He added that the budget parameters in HB 541 will be released March 16. INEFFICIENT?

Last month at an Associated Students of the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa meeting, UH Mānoa Chancellor Robert Bley-Vroman said the thought the bill was messy. “The tuition special fund is almost at a negative,” said Bley-Vroman. “There are large reserves, but we would [also] propose a decrease in another general education requirement that would be equivalent so that the burden on students would not change,” Sitt-Bergh said. FEEDBACK AND PROCESS

“I think adding a quantitative reasoning requirement would be very beneficial to the vast amount of students that are coming into Mānoa campus because we are not all mathematically inclined [and] we would all be able to excel in our focus, without meeting requirements that might seem somewhat off point for our particular degree,” said Eldridge Shay, a freshman engineering student. The QRWG is currently in the process of collecting feedback from different areas of the university. The QRWG has contacted UH Mānoa faculty and The Associated Students of the University of Hawai‘i (ASUH) to inform them of the proposal to create this requirement. Some classes that might fulfill the needs of a QR requirement include a statistics course, a Hawaiian voyaging class or something involving historical changes in literary diction, said Sitt-Bergh. According to Garrod, the proposal has many stops before actualization. After being proposed by the QRWG it will go before the campus faculty senate’s General Education Committee, then to the Executive Committee, after that to the full faculty senate and finally, the chancellor.

not in the tuition special fund.” Young said that he and Bley-Vroman are supportive of HB541’s concept, but feel the bill is inefﬁcient, because transparency must be gained from each campus and then approved by the legislature. “It will create one more layer of complexity for all of the campuses,” Young said in a telephone interview. Polopolus-Meredith also says he is in favor of the bill’s intent, but believes gaining transparency from each individual UH campus is time-consuming and inefﬁcient. However, Choy says that even Bley-Vroman does not know HB 541’s budget information, and therefore cannot know the bill’s full effects. SUPPORT

The Fix UH Mānoa organization recently voiced its support for the bill on the Fix UH Mānoa ofﬁcial Facebook page. “There are so many things UH needs to do for us,” said a Fix UH Mānoa post on Feb. 28. The post said the bill is needed due to poor restrooms, art building walls that are in disrepair, as well as a lacking number of academic advisers. “This reduces access to advising and makes it longer and more difﬁcult to graduate,” the post said.

WASC ACCREDITATION

The University of Hawai‘ i, while not due for re-accreditation until 2021, must remain current with the WASC criteria, according the FAQs answers provided by QRWG. The 2013 WASC handbook named QR competency as a quality students should be able to demonstrate. UH Hilo and Hawai‘i Community College already have QR requirements for their students, according to a FAQs response generated by QRWG. Maui Community College is, like UH Mānoa, working on a QR requirement. Sitt-Bergh said that other universities across the country are also implementing QR foundation courses and that some of the information produced by these ventures is helping to create the plan for UH Mānoa’s own QR course. QRWG has used information from Colombia University, Dartmouth College and the Mathematical Association of America to help them build their own models for QR requirement courses as noted in, as stated in QRWG FAQs.

Lawmaker sues UH over sex survey KEON DIEGO CONTRIBUTING WRITER

State Representative Bob McDermott (R-Ewa-Ewa Beach-Ewa Gentry-Iroquois Point) ﬁled a lawsuit on Feb. 24 demanding the release of a University of Hawai‘i Pono Choices survey instrument. “[The sex education is] certainly not medically accurate; it contains a slew of medical omissions, and it’s certainly not age appropriate,” McDermott said. ONLY QUESTIONS

Seventh-grade students involved in Pono Choices are given a survey at the beginning of the program. Additional surveys are used as follow-ups as the students turn 12, 13 and 14. McDermott has attempted to obtain access to the survey questions since last summer. “I’m not asking for their results; all I want is the instrument. What are you asking these kids?” he said. McDermott has tried different methods to secure the survey questions, including the Freedom of Information Act, but has repeatedly been denied. PONO CHOICES

The U.S. Ofﬁce of Adolescent Health (OAH) distributes $105 million in grants to projects aimed at preventing unplanned teen pregnancies, among other consequences. In 2010, Pono Choices, created and managed by the Center on Disability Studies at UH Mānoa, became one of 20 projects funded by this program. The program is culturally responsive, as it provides information on preventing pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections in a “Native Hawaiian place-based framework.” The Department of Education (DOE) has twice halted Pono Choices’ operations and requested a revision to their curriculum. The program has been reprimanded for explicit les-

sons inappropriate for children and for medical inaccuracies, such as classifying the anus as genitalia. DISCUSSING ACCESSIBILITY

The survey questions are a government record and should be accessible under the Uniform Information Practices Act (UIPA). “All government records are open to public inspection unless access is restricted or closed by law,” the act said. Because the documents were released to the students, McDermott argued that they should have been released to the general public. However, if an organization chooses to deny access to documents, it must prove why this response is necessary or warranted. It is troubling to consider that children have been granted access to this document, yet adults, especially parents, have not. UH has denied McDermott’s requests, stating that “release of the instrument is being withheld in order to prevent disruption of the study.” The research project is set to be completed in 2016, and the DOE will determine the program’s effectiveness and continuation then. Dan Meisenzahl, UH media production and external affairs director, said the survey is completed on a voluntary basis with letters and consent forms sent to parents. Meisenzahl also explained that while the UIPA provides access to Hawai‘i public records, the survey is protected under the frustration exemption. “This part shall not require disclosure of ... government records that, by their nature, must be conﬁdential in order for the government to avoid the frustration of a legitimate government function,” according to the UIPA. WHAT’S THE BIG DEAL?

McDermott’s efforts have sparked a curiosity for the survey and the underlying question: Is UH trying to hide something, and if so, what?

‘Elect Her’ ASUH organizes event encouraging women to run for student government

The U.S. has more women than men, but only 20 percent of Congress comprises women. KELLY ZAKIMI, ROXIE KAMOSHIDA, KRISTA ANN LEE “ELECT HER” EVENT COORDINATORS

Throughout our nation’s history, the number of women in positions of political leadership has increased, but the number of women represented in political leadership nationally is still signiﬁcantly less than their male counterparts. In the 113th U.S. Congress, which convened in January 2013, there were only 99 female members of Congress out of a total of 535 members, equating to 18.5 percent of Congress. According to data from the Inter-Parliamentary Union in December 2013, the U.S. ranked 95th in the world for the percentage of women in its national legislature. There is a clear disparity between the number of male and female representation in political ofﬁce. Numerous studies, such as those from the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions, have shown that the presence of women in legislatures not only enhances the diversity of the representatives but makes a significant difference in what bills are introduced, especially in child care, education and health. Encouraging and empowering women to run for student government at the college level may increase the chances of women starting their political careers at an earlier age.

THE ASUH EXPERIENCE

Although student government does not exactly replicate the experience of being in political ofﬁce, one’s participation in student government is invaluable in gaining the tools and knowledge necessary for representing one’s constituents. The Associated Students of the University of Hawai‘i (ASUH), the undergraduate student government, serves as the voice of the students at the campus level, but many of our past student government members have continued on to represent others at a state and even national level. As a student government, ASUH offers many opportunities to enhance the student experience at UH. For example, we provide scholarships, research awards, grad test prep awards and funding to registered independent organizations every semester. We also discuss and vote on bills and resolutions that directly impact students. Most importantly, the ASUH is the students’ bridge between administration and state legislators. We work to ﬁnd more information about pertinent university and state issues and advocate as the student voice. Past senate resolutions include the encouragement of more walk-in voting locations (including more UH campus locations) and the support of the formation of the Hawai‘ i Future Caucus, a bipartisan group of state and county leaders 40 years old and under who will work together to increase government

openness and participation among young people through policy discussions between public, private and nonproﬁt sectors. Thus, the experiences, knowledge and skills gained from active involvement in student government are a stepping stone for those who may want to be involved in politics in the future. THE EVENT

“Elect Her” recognizes this link between student government and political office and serves to empower students, specifically female college students, to participate in student government. By engaging women in politics at the college level, the training hopes to equip women at a young age in order to increase female representation in the government in the future. This is the second year UH Mānoa is receiving a grant from American Association for University Women (AAUW) to fund “Elect Her.” The training offers an opportunity for students to network, demystify the campaign process, develop and communicate an effective message, reach out to their constituency and take the first steps in serving their peers. Students will also be able to listen to the experience and expertise of local leaders, who are great resources for learning leadership skills.

STA R T S Life advice from a Gay man, a Mormon, and a Harlot.

Dear Ladies and a Tramp, What does it mean when your partner doesn’t look at you at all while you’re having sex? Should this be a red ﬂag? Sincerely, Not Seeing Eye-to-Eye Dear Not Seeing Eye-to-Eye, You’re thinking too deep into things. As long as it’s satisfying, don’t complain. Sometimes it’s easier to be blind than to have perfect vision. Sincerely, The Blind Harlot Dear Not Seeing Eye-to-Eye, I offer you my dearest condolences because it sounds like your relationship’s sex life is dead. I believe that intimacy with your partner is one of the major components of the relationship. It is an opportunity for the two of you to connect emotionally. Just like in normal conversations, if there is no eye contact, there is no interest. If there is no interest, no emotional connection can be made. You can mention this to your partner and have an open discussion regarding the matter, or you can start looking for alternative options. Don’t see it as a red ﬂag, it’s more like a subtle shade of pink.

Sincerely, G-Man Dear Not Seeing Eye-to-Eye, I think having eye contact deﬁnitely makes things a little bit more intimate, but is it really a deal breaker?

Don’t fall for athletics ‘boost’ arguement ALEX BITTER EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

When the Manoa Maniacs asked the Student Athletic Fee Committee (SAFC) for $12,000 to pay for a prize website two weeks ago, the group’s representative on the committee said the request came at a critical time. “It’s about to take off, and it really can to take off,” Chairperson Genevieve Bradley said of the Maniacs, stressing that the group needed the money to reach its full potential. For the University of Hawai‘i’s athletics department, that argument is hardly new. In 2010, many of the department’s supporters lobbied for the creation of the $50-per-semester student fee, arguing that the department needed the cash to solve some of its greatest problems. “This should help the program get in the black,” then-Athletics Director Jim Donovan told the Board of Regents in July 2010. Others claimed the money would help to update outdated facilities and bring more students to games. In the years since the fee was approved, many problems have persisted. UH suffers from aged facilities that fail to woo potential recruits, and despite increases for some sports, student attendance at games remains ﬂat overall. With a proposal to increase the student fee to $75 on the horizon, the argument for additional funding remains the same: give us one more boost, and all our problems will be solved. However, given the student fee’s failure to produce the results promised in 2010, there seems to be little evidence that another boost will make a difference for the ﬁscally challenged department. Any such assurance that comes from the department should be taken with a wholesale-sized bag of salt. ABOUT OUR VOICE

UH smoking ban misses the mark Focus needed on those struggling with addiction

FILE PHOTO / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

More than a thousand colleges and universities have gone tobacco-free. JAKE TAYLOR CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The chancellor’s ofﬁce has approved a policy that, effective July 1, will ban smoking on University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa property. The new policy follows one enacted in Jan. 2003, which reduced the number of locations where smoking, the “inhaling or exhaling the fumes of tobacco or any other plant material,” was allowed. “The goal is to provide a healthy and safe environment for students, employees and visitors,” Chancellor Robert Bley-Vroman said in a written statement. NO HELP

People who smoke often start in college years, and reintroducing this policy will only be effective when there is increased support for smokers who want to quit. “Nearly all tobacco use begins in youth and young adulthood,” the U.S. Department of Health Surgeon General said in a report.

A campus-wide ban to protect nonsmokers from secondhand smoke doesn’t address the issue of young people smoking, and without enforcement, the ban will be ineffective. The 2003 policy prohibited

ATTEMPTS AT ASSISTANCE

Credit is due to Chancellor Bley-Vroman for incorporating language addressing this larger issue in the policy. The document dictates that the administration offer “pre-

A campus-wide ban to prevent nonsmokers from secondhand smoke doesn’t address the issue of young people smoking. smoking within 20 feet of university building entrances, exits or ducts; within 50 feet of any public transport pick-up/drop-off points and smoking in all courtyards, outdoor patio areas, lanais and breezeways. However, this policy is generally ignored, as students and university employees can be seen smoking in several campus locations. What would help is a concentrated effort to provide resources that members of the university community need in order to quit smoking.

vention and education initiatives that support non-use and address the risk of smoking.” It tells students to seek help through the Hawaii Tobacco Quitline. However, these feel like passive attempts at eradicating the habit of smoking. An article published in the journal Tobacco Control concluded that the introduction of nicotine replacement products (gums and patches) help reduce cigarette consumption, in addition to increasing cigarette prices. UH can purchase and distribute nicotine

replacement therapy (NRT) products. Providing nicotine gum or patches through Student Health Services (SHS) would help those interested in quitting and be a meaningful use of SHS resources. ACTIONS ELSEWHERE

One strategy employed by the University of Massachusetts Amherst, involves supplying university afﬁliates with vouchers for discounts on common NRT products, facilitating their use. Similar programs elsewhere have shown great success in reducing the number of smokers on campus. If this is the goal that the policy is seeking, then it needs additional follow-up to help students. Otherwise, those addicted to cigarettes will be displaced to less public areas, where they will have to deal with their destructive habit in increased isolation, and without support.

Carbon neutrality by 2050 University policy worth the cost, efforts LYNN NGUYEN STAFF WRITER

The University of Hawai‘i recently declared that it would soon implement a goal to become carbon neutral by 2050. UH President David Lassner signed and conﬁrmed the policy at the Hawai‘i Sustainability in Higher Education Summit. The plan will beneﬁt the university and increase students’ awareness regarding sustainable lifestyles. INTENT

The policy’s objective is for UH to use renewable energy sources more frequently. Different methods include reducing the university’s carbon footprint through purchasing local food or using transportation with less emissions. A sustainabil-

ity ofﬁce, curriculum and curriculum council will be implemented to help UH achieve its goal.

a ﬁnancial asset, the policy will also beneﬁt students by teaching them different ways in which they can reduce their carbon footprint.

OTHER COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES

Sustainability efforts often save money, which will help UH’s deﬁcit. This has proved true for other educational institutions who have decided to convert to less energy-dependent habits. More universities are beginning to shift toward sustainability. Boston College’s attempts to be more energy-efﬁcient has saved $650,000. Amherst College has recently constructed a cogeneration power policy to produce electricity and steam for campus and has also created a “Launched Book and Plow Farm” to provide 60,000 pounds of produce a year for faculty and students. Aside from being

TOO EARLY TO TELL?

Some may argue that it is too early in the process to determine whether sustainability efforts will be cost-effective, as the university is struggling to stay out of debt. However, Lin King, manager of Campus Recycling and Refuse Services at the University of California, Berkeley, stated that the university pays $70.47 per ton to landﬁll the trash but earns $80 per ton of recycling paper, saving more than $150. Although there will be initial expenses, once everything is implemented, sustainability will save the university money.

STUDENTS’ PERSPECTIVES

Students approved of UH’s carbon neutrality goal. “To be honest, it‘s about time. I hope they follow through and really stick to their promise and establish the right connections,” freshman Kealohi Maunakea-Forth said. Freshman Jenny Zheng agreed with Maunakea-Forth. “I think it’s important that we pursue sustainability here because preserving the supply of our resources is vital for a healthier environment as well as human development,” Zheng said. The hope to become carbon neutral by 2050 will beneﬁt the university and expose students to living more sustainable lifestyles with reduced carbon footprints. Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

SWIMMING AND DIVING TEAM EXCELS IN CONFERENCE TOURNAMENT AFTER CUT OF PROGRAM MENTIONED

NICK HUTH

When the women’s swimming and diving team became the first University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa program to win an MPSF Championship, some minds returned to the news that shook the squad in the previous week. “After we won, someone was like: ‘cut us now,’ and it was so funny,” freshman swimmer Kira Webster said. In a recently published report from the UH athletics department, it was stated that the reduction of programs was an option to save the school financially moving forward. One of the handful of programs in danger of being cut was the men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams. What was funny for the Wahine after the record-breaking conference performance was a concern for both players and coaches heading into the meet. “It was really weird to get it, especially right before conference because I feel like that was such a bad time, but it was also kind of motivation,” Webster said. “Because even if they were never actually going to cut it, we had to prove something to ourselves and everyone else.” The teams responded during the four-day tournament with performances that combined to give the Wahine a conference championship and the Warriors a third-place finish in the MPSF. At least one women’s swimmer or diver

made all-conference first team in 15 of the 21 events, including a sweep of the platform and one-meter diving events. “This was great for us because it gives people an opportunity to see that obviously we’re successful,” swimming head coach Victor Wales said. Wales, who was also named Swimming Coach of the Meet at the conference championships, led 32 of the Wahine to all-conference selections in his 10th season at UH, including four top finishes for the program’s relay teams. Although the news had subsided after a Board of Regents meeting eliminated the possibility of their program getting cut, Wales claimed that the news had an impact. “Obviously we went out and tried to send a message that we’re a program that’s important to this community, not only for what we do in the pool, but we had 31 girls on the roster and 28 of them were scholar-athletes last semester,” Wales said. “We’re getting it done not only in the pool but in the classroom and other places.” Wales claimed that both him and assistant coach Jennifer Buffin were still doing “damage control” following the news about the possibility of program reduction. He was able to talk to the team to quell concerns during training, but when parents and the swimming commu-

nity heard of the news, it was harder to contain. “I had the mother of our top recruit call me and say: ‘Oh I heard they’re dropping swimming, sorry to hear about that.’” The swimming and diving programs are one of the few teams that are available to cut according to athletics director Ben Jay, due to the requirements of being a Division I football school and the restrictions in place through Title IX. There are 55 athletes on both teams, and although they were notified quickly about the unlikely possibility of losing the program, athletics director Ben Jay claims that the success showed what the team was capable of. “That’s a great source of pride for them. Undoubtedly pushed by the even mention of the possible elimination of their sport. But they go out there and they fight every day. They like representing the state and our student-athletes really work hard at it. All they’re really looking for is the support. They want support from the department, from the university, from the state and from all the fans,” Jay said. Jasmine Alkhadi, who took gold and set new MPSF records in the 50 free, 100 free and 200 free last week, will make the most of her senior year at the NCAA Championships later this month after her scores were strong enough to qualify. This will be the first time that Alkhadi’s

times were fast enough for the championships, but assistant head coach Jennifer Bufﬁn claimed that making the NCAAs would be “icing on the cake” for Alkhadi’s distinguished career. Although considered one of the hardest workers by her coaches, Alkhadi said that the news brought out the ﬁre in her and her teammates. “We all knew it wasn’t true, but I think it was on everyone’s mind that we’ve got to show them we’re here to win and we’re an important part of UH athletics and they can’t just look over us,” Alkhadi said. “No, we’re champions and I think that helped to push us a little bit to show ourselves, the program, athletics, everyone in our conference that UH has what it takes to be champions.”

Alkhaldi was the only swimmer selected to compete in the 2015 NCAA Swimming & Diving Championships later this month due to her performances at the MPSF Championships. The senior from the Philippines set a trio of conference records when she took gold in the 50 free, 100 free and 200 free individual events while also helping the Wahine take four different relay victories.

The junior from Norway took gold in three diving events at the MPSF Championship, while also netting three automatic results for the NCAA Tournament. His victory in the one-meter, three-meter and platform categories were enough to add 60 points to the score total for the men’s swimming and diving team that ﬁnished in third place. Gismervik will be heading to the NCAA Championships where he hopes to improve on his third place ﬁnish on the platform from last year.

Webster earned four all-conference honors while being the only freshman to participate in the 200 and 500 meter freestyle finals. She finished fifth in the 200 free, third in the 500 free and second in the 1650 free. Webster also helped Hawai‘ i take the 800 meter relay gold. Head coach Victor Wales helped the freshman find success this season by placing her in a challenging training group.

After being named the 2013 and 2014 MPSF Diver of the Year, Harrison made her case for a third award after her performance in the conference championship. The junior took silver in the three-meter and platform event while taking gold for the second straight year on the one-meter. She’s set to join fellow Wahine Lauren Hall, Genevieve Bradley and Monica Gavaris at the NCAA Zone E Qualifying Meet this week. SOURCE: DAN WORDEN; SHANE GRACE / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

MEN’S AND WOMEN’S TENNIS The men’s tennis team played well against the University of Missouri-Kansas City, prevailing 5-2 at the UH Tennis Complex. In singles play, Hawai‘ i was able to win four of the six matches, then continued their success in doubles play, winning two of the three doubles matches. The women were unable to match the success of their male counterparts, as the No. 60 Rainbow Wahine fell 6-1 to No. 11 Michigan. After dropping both doubles matches, Hawai‘ i lost all but one singles match, which was won by sophomore Cindy Nguyen.

MEN’S VOLLEYBALL The men’s volleyball team knocked off No. 5 Pepperdine in four sets, 28-26, 22-25, 25-22, 25-18. The win gave sixth-ranked Hawai‘ i its seventh-straight win of the season, improving their record to 14-3.

SAND VOLLEYBALL The Rainbow Wahine started their season off with a bang in the Rainbow Wahine Invitational, as they knocked off top-ranked and defending national champion Pepperdine on the ﬁrst day. And in pool play, the tandem of senior Olivia Urban and Katie Spieler ﬁnished second, falling to Pepperdine’s Kellie Woolever and Kelley Larsen in the gold medal match.

SOFTBALL The Rainbow Wahine hosted the Outrigger Resorts Spring Fling tournament, with East Carolina, Longwood, Oregon State, and Utah all making the journey to the Rainbow Wahine Softball Stadium. After their opening game was cancelled due to rain, the ‘Bows earned a thrilling 8-7 comeback win over Longwood in eight innings, during which they came back from a 7-0 deﬁcit. They then kept their hot streak going against Oregon State the following day, prevailing 4-1. But Hawai‘ i fell ﬂat against Utah, dropping an 8-1 blowout.

BASEBALL The Rainbow Warriors dropped their ﬁrst game of the week against Pepperdine, as the Waves used a three-run home run in the eighth inning to earn a 10-5 win. But the ‘Bows bounced back in their next game, grinding out a 2-1 win over Baylor. Hawai‘i again battled through a gritty game the following day against Nebraska, but their late rally came up short, as they fell 4-3.

WATER POLO The University of Hawai‘ i women’s water polo team dropped a painful loss to Cal State Northridge in their Big West opener, falling 7-6. The ‘Bows rallied to tie the game at six with just ﬁve seconds remaining, but CSUN was able to ﬁre a shot in at the buzzer to seal the game. Senior Emily Carr and junior Paula Chillidia each scored two goals for Hawai‘ i.

Finding the formula GARRETT NEVELS

NICK HUTH SPORTS EDITOR

One and done. That’s the familiar fate that the Rainbow Warrior basketball team is trying to avoid in the upcoming Big West Conference Tournament. In their two completed seasons in the Big West, Hawai‘i has never advanced to the second round in the tournament. Dating back to the team’s time in the Western Athletic Conference, UH has only advanced to the second round twice in the last 10 seasons. What’s on the line for UH when the tournament begins on March 12 is an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. The team that wins the Big West will be the only program to participate in March Madness, which is comprised of 68 teams from all over Division I basketball. To play against the best of college basketball, the Warriors will have to do more than break the trend and advance past the first round. The team will have to win three straight games to earn the conference title, a feat that Hawai‘i has not accomplished throughout the regular season. “Every game is a game in itself and you can learn something from every game,” Jovanovic said after the team’s senior night loss to UC Santa Barbara. “If we play the right way and play as a team, I don’t think anyone can beat us.” Hawai‘ i wasn’t able to play the right way on Wednesday’s loss to UCSB according to Jovanovic. With the loss, the Gauchos became the second team after UC Irvine that Hawai‘ i lost both regular seasons against this season. UCSB and the Anteaters will be the second and third seed respectively when the tournament starts on Thursday. The Warriors currently have a 8-8 record in the Big West ahead of postseason play and will be the fifth seed. The team claimed that playing together will determine postseason success, acting head coach Benjy Taylor pointed to a number of things the team will need next week. “Legs, energy and we’ve got to hit shots and defend in the halfcourt,” Taylor said. The ‘Bows haven’t found the formula for consistency so far this season, but the team is confident that they can win when the stakes are highest. “We’ve just got to go back to practice and execute,” reserve guard Quincy Smith said. “We’ll be ready for the three games in Anaheim and we’re going to come back with Big West championship.”

Losing a leader Garrett Nevels says goodbye in his final home game as a Warrior DREW AFUALO STAFF WRITER

Showered in leis and hugs from loved ones, Garrett Nevels turned the ﬁnal page of his career at the Stan Sheriff Center last Wednesday night. Although his ﬁnal regular season game ended in a 98-90 loss to UC Santa Barbara, Nevels stood at center court; overwhelmed with the reception from the home crowd. “I didn’t really know what to expect, it’s just a great feeling to see their appreciation towards me,” Nevels said. “But really it’s me that appreciates them, just all of their support. I love it, that’s why I came here.” Starting off this season, Nevels saw action in 28 games with the Warriors, averaging about 31 minutes each game. He also had a shooting average of 39 percent, as well as a 32 percent three-point average – all of which, though impressive, seem to pale in comparison to his stats last year. Nevels scored about 13.1 points per game in the 2013-14 season and now averages about 10.5 points per game. When he arrived at UH Mānoa as a junior, Nevels was ready to compete, and started in all but one game last season. He led the team in made three-pointers and shot 41.3 percent from three-point range, recording the fourth-best single-season three-point average in Warrior history. His junior season was highlighted by a career high performance of 26 points against New Mexico State.

“He’s meant a lot to the program and deserved to end on a winning note,” head coach Benjy Taylor said. “Unfortunately that’s not what happened … But he means a lot to us and he’s got a lot of basketball left in him even after he leaves here. So we’re excited for him and want to get more wins for him.” Nevels was not only a star on the court, but in the classroom as well. When he attended Mt. San Antonio College (SAC) in Walnut, California, prior to committing to UH Mānoa, he earned a team-best GPA of 3.58. He also graduated with honors in 2010 from his alma mater Palisades Charter High School in Paciﬁc Palisades, California. Doing as well off

the court as he does on the court has not only inspired the community, but his teammates as well. “Losing Garrett is like losing leadership,” sophomore Stefan Jankovic said. “His experience is something that you can’t ever replace. We’re a pretty inexperienced team right now so losing him is huge.” Nevels is noted for his dedication and love of the sport. A first team all-conference selection as a sophomore at junior college, he averaged 19.8 points per game and led the team in rebounding with an average of 5.6 a game. Nevels shot 57.8 percent from the field and 81.4 percent from the free-throw line, helping lead Mt. SAC to its first ever

state junior college men’s hoops title in 2012. The senior left an impression on thousands of fans who watched from the seats of the Stan Sheriff Center, but his impact was felt more intimately by his teammates and coaches. It wasn’t a storybook ending for Nevels, but his legend with the program will live on. “My favorite Garrett Nevels story is him breaking his thumb and not telling me until after the game,” Taylor said. “But that’s him in a nutshell really. I just know whatever team or company gets him after us is going to have one heck of a guy.”

Eye on the prize Confident Wahine hungry for postseason success DAVID MCCRACKEN ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

SHANE GRACE / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

The Rainbow Wahine are currently riding a 14-game winning streak ahead of the Big West Tournament.

In Greek mythology, the Hydra was feared for being nearly impossible to defeat. When one head was cut off, two more would grow back. Similarly, the Rainbow Wahine basketball team has had key players go down with injury, yet have been able to stay the course thanks to strong contributions from the bench. “The best thing about our team is our depth,” senior forward Ashleigh Karaitiana said. “If one person is out, or cannot [play] or isn’t playing their game, we have someone who can step in for them.” The depth was tested this season, as preseason all-conference selection Shawna-Lei Kuehu missed two games and most of a third, while her backup Sarah Toeaina missed nine. Additionally, point guard Morgan Mason was unavailable for two games. Currently, Mason is still sidelined with an ankle injury with hope that she will be ready for the tournament. Kuehu and Toeaina have returned from injury and are re-established themselves in the team’s rotation.

to. But every time we need someone to step up to the plate, we have someone with that capability.” Hawai‘i has shufﬂed its starting lineup numerous times as well, with nine different starting lineups used this season. Junior guard Destiny King is the only player to have started all 28 games, while Karaitiana has started all but one. Developing chemistry was tricky at times due to the constant shufﬂing of lineups, but the team has gelled down the stretch. “Chemistry has been something we’ve worked throughout the year,” Karaitiana said. “I think it makes it hard for other teams to match up with us because of the versatility

The top-to-bottom depth of the Rainbow Wahine is truly impressive. Eleven players average at least 10 minutes played per game for head coach Laura Beeman’s squad. By comparison, each of the teams ranked in the top ﬁve on the NCAA rankings has ten players or fewer averaging double-digit minutes. Kuehu, who was a starter prior to her injury, has transitioned to a bench role along with Toeaina. Together, they have helped anchor the best bench in the Big West Conference, as Hawai‘ i’s reserves have scored 353 points in 13 conference games, an average of 27.2 points per game. “You never want injuries as a coach, and you try to manage minutes to keep people fresh,” Beeman said. “But our depth has allowed us to get more people on the ﬂoor, and rest some players if we need

But with everything on the line now, the team’s health now becomes even more important, and they know it. “We’re feeling good, but we know we have to be smart when we play,” Kuehu said. “We’re still going hard, because that’s what we do and what we’re supposed to do. But right now, we can’t be like, diving for loose balls if we’re not likely to get it or if it might get us hurt. We have to be smart, because we have to be healthy now.”

that we have on this team.” A lot of the success stems from the team’s rigorous practice sessions, which numerous players have described as being “harder than the actual games.” But the challenging practices have not only allowed the team to develop strong chemistry, but also steel itself physically and mentally for the stretch run. “If you practice hard, it’ll prepare you and have you mentally ready for the game,” Beeman said. “When you practice hard, it actually will make the games more fun and enjoyable.” As the team heads into the postseason, the effort and intensity that TOURNAMENT BREAKDOWN

‘We’re not done’ Those were the words said by Rainbow Wahine basketball head coach Laura Beeman in an address to the crowd at the Stan Sheriff Center after lifting the Big West Conference trophy. The ‘Bows beat down Cal State Fullerton on senior night as they honored their senior players, but the best way that the Wahine can send their seniors out is by continuing to win. With a 13-2 record in the Big West, UH stands atop of its conference with a number one seed going into the Big West Tournament next week. As a one seed, the Wahine will be granted a bye, meaning that they won’t have to play until Friday, March 13 against the lowest remaining seed in the tournament for a semi-final matchup. “The expectation doesn’t drop at all. We want to win,” said six-year senior Shawna-Lei Kuehu. “We want to do it the right way. We want to play team basketball, we want to continue to play Hawai’i basketball. We’re lucky enough to have that first seed right now and continue on that winning streak if we can but ultimately it comes down to taking care of us.” “Taking care of us” has been a slogan for the Rainbow Wahine basketball team over the course of 14-game winning streak, dating back to Jan. 10. Ashleigh Karaitiana, the starting forward and senior for the ‘Bows, echoes Kuehu’s expectation of this team, feeling that no other team can stop them. “This year, we’re gonna get it done,” Karaitiana said. “There’s no question about it. There’s nothing any team can do to beat us. If anything, if we do get beat, we lose because of ourselves; not teams beating us. We’re the only ones who can beat ourselves. What happens in the regular season, it doesn’t matter anymore.” The Wahine will have to play the waiting game until Wednesday to find out who they will play on Friday, but the team’s mentality going into the tournament shows that they aren’t taking their foot off of the gas pedal. “Nothing shakes these guys,” Beeman said. “They have a mission, they have a vision and they’re going to hold true to that. I don’t see anything knocking us out of that focus and vision. This is just a truly, amazing and unique group of young ladies.”

The last time a Shakespeare play was presented at Kennedy Theatre was in 2010, with “Hamlet” directed by Paul T. Mitri. DANIELLA REYES SENIOR STAFF WRITER

The small space of the Earle Ernst Lab Theatre is about to host Shakespeare’s “The Taming of the Shrew” this weekend. Directed by Kimberly Shire to complete her MFA in Directing Theatre for Young Audiences, this classic play has been adapted with a high school audience in mind. “The Taming of the Shrew” is the funny tale of Kate (played by Kyle Scholl), an unlikable and ill-tempered harridan who must ﬁnd a husband before her younger, milder sister can be wed. Petruchio (Timothy Callais) is the man who thinks he can solve Kate’s probelm, and embarks on a mission to woo and tame this “shrew.” Meanwhile, there is a competition to win Kate’s sister’s hand. Lovers, suitors and hapless servants all get mixed up in this witty story, as Petruchio and Kate realize that love can never truly be tamed. “I hope with this show that [audiences] walk away with their imaginations engaged and also thinking critically because the show talks about the role of women and how does that apply to our roles today,” said Margot Fitzsimmons, who plays Tranio and The Widow. Shire opted to direct “The Taming of the Shrew” due to a love of the Bard as well as an interest in bringing Shakespeare to Hawai‘ i high schools. A professor at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa had done a survey of local high school teachers, asking them what Shakespearean play they would most like to see performed live – and “Tam-

ing” was in the top three. Shire had previously directed the play in the 1990s and wanted to revisit the play with a new perspective. ADAPTING FOR YOUNGER AUDIENCES

Kennedy’s “Taming” differs from the original text in that it has been significantly edited in order to fit a shorter running time. The original text might is a two to three hour long performance, while Shire’s version runs closer to one and a half hours. Although the production is aimed at high schoolers, Shire says that wasn’t the intent while editing the play. “I wasn’t cutting it for teenagers in particular, I was cutting it more with the perspective that the modern ear is not used to a lot of Shakespearean text,” Shire said. “When Petruchio goes on and on about some Greek legends and stories that, in our modern audience, no one is going to recognize … I took those lines out.” The design of the play is also different from a traditional adaptation. Unlike the script, the look of the production was designed specifically for younger audiences. Instead of actors in Elizabethan costumes with realistic sets, the characters of “Taming” inhabit an abstract world of colorful costumes, minimalistic sets and even modern graffiti. The intent, Shire said, was to layer the new on top of the old. “The set will have a touch of antiquity that is layered on top of modern art, and the text itself is antique, but we’re presenting it in a way that is hopefully going to feel realistic to a modern audience,” Shire said.

FROM SCRIPT TO STAGE

Shire put her actors through a ﬁve-week rehearsal process, compared to the usual eight to 10 week rehearsal process that most UH Mānoa productions have. The intent was to have her actors be fresher and more excited about the material come opening night. “It’s like Shakespeare bootcamp,” Fitzsimmons said. “We’re living and breathing it.” Immediately upon receiving the script, Fitzsimmons began rehearsing lines with her sister. Memorizing Shakespeare’s complex text has been one of the biggest challenges for the actors, said Johnny Reed, who plays Gremio and Vincentio. “People know sections of Shakespeare … so they’re gonna know if you mess up,” Reed said. “Maybe not so much for [my] character, but for the actors playing Petruchio and Kate – the audience is gonna know.” Shire recognizes the importance of memorizing lines perfectly. “With a heightened text like Shakespeare, if you invert two words, you switch them around, it doesn’t sound right anymore and it trips you up,” Shire said. “The memorization really has to be solid and it has to work perfect … whereas with a modern text, it’s easy to paraphrase.” Shire hopes that “Taming,” one of Shakespeare’s most famous comedies, will entertain with its hijinks and witty dialogue. However, Shire hopes that it also starts a conversation about the role of women in Elizabethan society and in today’s society. “I don’t think ‘Taming’ can be a feminist manifesto,” Shire said. “But I hope it starts a dialogue about

how things can be different for women in the present.” Shakespeare’s plays have universal themes, and “Taming” hopes to tap into these themes to not only entertain but to also make people think. MORE INFO

THE PLAY’S HISTORY “The Taming of the Shrew” was written by Shakespeare sometime between 1590 and 1592. While most historians cannot agree on one particular source, the stereotype of the “shrewish” wife has been around for a long time in folklore. Shakespeare was most likely aware of these character archetypes and rearranged them to fit his story. However, the subplot of “Taming,” involving Kate’s younger sister Bianca, comes directly from Ludovico Ariosto’s “I Suppositi” (1551), where various suitors don diﬀerent disguises in order to woo the gentle maiden.

MCDONALD’S S H A M RO C K SHAKE

THE SIX PEOPLE YOU SEE AT THE MARKET IKAIKA SHIVELEY ASSOCIATE FEATURES EDITOR

ELLY ISHIHARA STAFF WRITER

St. Patrick’s Day is coming up, and restaurants have their special menu lined up for the holiday.For McDonald’s, it’s the Shamrock Shake. I did not know what to expect when I went to buy the shake. I only knew that it was supposed to taste minty. The Shamrock Shake ($3.13 for a small) is a vanilla-based, mint-flavored drink topped with whipped cream and a cherry. The taste of vanilla was so strong that I could barely taste the mint. The flavor initially reminded me of lime-flavored marshmallows. The first few sips of the drink tasted good, and the texture was not too thick nor too watery. With every sip I took, I became overwhelmed by the sweetness and was unable to finish the drink. An alternative to the Shamrock Shake is the Leprechaun Shake. The Leprechaun Shake is half-chocolate shake and half-Shamrock Shake. It may not be visually appealing, but it tasted amazing. The Leprechaun Shake was equally as sweet as the Shamrock, but most of the sweetness came from chocolate and not the vanilla, which made the drink more enjoyable for me. Everything else about the shake was the same as the Shamrock – the price, the size and the texture. Word of advice: When you order the drink, do not say you want the Leprechaun Shake because the McDonald’s workers may not understand, since the drink is not on the menu. Ask for a shake that is half-chocolate and half-Shamrock.

LEPRECHAUN SHAKE:

The Pre-Gamers

The Lurkers

Living on campus has its p perks. Not only do you get a few extra minutes to sleep in before class, but you are given a meal plan to keep your busy body going. These meals can be used in several places, most popularly The Market. Here is a quick rundown of the types of students you may encounter during your time at The Market.

Typically seen on a Friday night, these partiers line up at The Market for their night necessities. A typical basket includes: Gatorade or soda for chasers, pizza to absorb the alcohol, condoms that won’t be used and gum to freshen up the breath. The girls will most likely be dressed up in a revealing dress and heels for a night on the town and the guys with a button-up shirt and shoes.

Technically found outside The Market, these individuals are sitting on the green benches facing the entrance. Compiled mostly of guys, the group has both students and non-students. The reason for the group’s presence is for one of the following: They are utilizing their state of the art rating system for cute pre-gamers, who are waiting for a friend still inside The Market, or they’re waiting for someone to invite them to a party.

The Freshman

The Sweet Tooth

The Baller

The Meathead

The Market can be very intimidating for new students. For most, it’s the ﬁrst time living on their own, which means responsibility is required. Unfortunately, freshmen are usually not the most responsible. It’s a sight to see when an engineer major fails to calculate the number of meals he or she has left and go over by $15. The Market can be a cruel place where life lessons are learned. Lesson 1: Those meal points don’t replenish themselves once the new week begins.

When entering The Market, the ﬁrst thing visible is an array of delectable fruits and vegetables. However, this person will evade the healthy goods like an all-star running back to reach the center aisles where the S’mores Pop Tarts reside. From there, a quick pit stop at the f’real machine is required followed by the delicious candy gold mine at the register. Whether it’s from having the munchies or simply having a love for sweets, gorging on sweets can take its toll. These students may transform into a “meathead” as they go to the gym to shed off the extra weight.

You’re bound to see this individual on a Saturday night. Everyone knows what’s up when they see this person walk in. The fact that his 19 meals a week remains untarnished due to not eating on campus, this student has at least $50 in meal dollars to spend. The overpriced products are meaningless to them, as they purchase an entire case of Arizona iced tea and four pizzas. While they are living large in their single suite dorm, life will come back to bite them when their parents stop paying for their funds post-graduation.

You are guaranteed to see one of these individuals at The Market. With the opening of the new Warrior Rec Center, it seems that the number of gym enthusiasts has grown tremendously. These students’ baskets usually consist of Muscle Milk, proteins bars and peanut butter. Try not to stare at the guy’s awkwardly low cut tank, as the response “You admiring, brah?” will be thrown at your face. Gym rats can be easily spotted by the following: They are constantly looking at their reﬂection as they perform their best “Zyzz” pose, they reek of sweat and/or they are still listening to their workout playlist from the workout 30 minutes ago.

Amazon has been bringing joy to people’s doorsteps for over the last decade, and it now attempts to bring this same joy to the palm of your hand. Having an Amazon Prime membership gives you free two-day shipping and the newly improved “Amazon Music”. With a catalog of over a million songs, the music service quickly got my attention and praise. While the app works with a data plan, Wi-Fi is much quicker and offers fantastic audio quality. If that doesn’t have you sold, the inclusion of ad-free playback, unlimited skips and implementing your iTunes library will. As a multitasker, I love that the music continues playing while using other apps such as Snapchat, Instagram and Facebook. One of the most unique qualities are the lyrics included within the app. Rather than having just words, each individual line is highlighted as the song progresses, making it ideal for memorization or karaoke. You can even click a speciﬁc lyric line and the song will directly start from there. Music makes the world go round and the elimination of stores, online shopping or even illegal downloading makes life a whole lot simpler. “Amazon Music” has the perks of those other sources of music and then some. If you own an Amazon Prime subscription and don’t already have this app, I suggest you download it now.

This year, Imagine Dragons released “Smoke + Mirrors,” an album that makes you want to test just how loud your volume level can really get. “Smoke + Mirrors” is an album that mixes R&B, modern rock and some alternative. There is such a large variety of tunes that show up on this record, that you are sure to ﬁnd a song that will feel like it was made just for you. From the opening song “Shots,” I was thrown into an easygoing mood, exactly the vibe you’d expect from the band. It includes a catchy chorus that has been stuck in my mind for days, and drums that make me want to dance. The digital

effects thrown into this song keep it modern and interesting. Heavier guitar riffs can be found in “Friction,” alongside a strange ethnic sounding background. The singer’s voice gets aggressive and rough, while the background vocals serve as a rally cry. It is easy to get lost in this song. This track is deﬁnitely one that I will put on my workout list. “Trouble” is such a tasteful tune with a perfect upbeat rhythm and distinctive sound that I can picture myself listening to while driving along North Shore on a sunny day with the windows down and wind running through my hair.

Imagine Dragons, from Las Vegas, gained recognition in the music scene in early 2012 with the release of their album “Night Visions.” The album hit international success and slowly took over the radio waves with songs like “Radioactive” and “It’s Time.” Despite the fact that they were together since 2008, the band faced difﬁcult beginnings, releasing an EP in 2010 in Las Vegas. They got their ﬁrst big break after performing at the Bite of Las Vegas Festival in 2009. Interscope Records later signed them in 2011. After a temporary break following their hit album and singles released every several months, the band came back with a bang this year.

metaphorically confusing. However, with songs like “I Bet My Life,” you are able to really hear the core and beginnings of the band, while at the same time seeing just how much they have matured and advanced as musicians. The inspiring and punchy lyrics are put next to powerful drums that hype me up. Imagine Dragons have such raw and creative power they want to share with the world. Every track is unpredictable and you can hear the change of tone in the band as it grows older. The ethereal instrumental accompaniment on some tunes sit in juxtaposition with the expressive and memorable lyrics to create a truly accomplished and skillful album that seems almost natural.

GOLDSCHLÄGER AT THE END OF THE RAINBOW

GUINNESS ICE CREAM FLOAT

6 egg yolks 1 tsp. vanilla extract

2 cups heavy cream

3/4 cup sugar

1 cup sugar

1/4 tsp. salt

Caramel Sauce

1 1/2 cups Guinness

Drink

1 cup whipping cream

pinch of salt

Ice Cream

Cherry Coca-Cola

Drink

Goldschläger

Shot

Assembly: 1. Whisk together sugar, salt and egg yolks in a pot. 2. Add heavy cream and whisk. 3. Turn stove on to medium and whisk continuously for three to four minutes. 4. Use a candy thermometer to check the temperature of the mixture. When it is 170 degrees, it is ready. 5. Strain the mixture. 6. Add the Guinness and vanilla extract and whisk gently. 7. Chill mixture for four to six hours. 8. Once chilled, make the ice cream in an ice cream maker. Because of the alcohol, the mixture needs to be frozen in a container overnight to fully solidify. 9. Once frozen, add two scoops of the ice cream to a glass. 10. Mix the Cherry Coke and a shot of vodka in another glass and pour the mix over the ice cream.

If there are any ingredients leftover from the previous recipes, try a few of these classic cocktails and shooters: Guinness Shandy: Equal parts Guinness and lemonade. Black Velvet: Equal parts Guinness and champagne.

1/4 cup Irish Whiskey

Ice

Crown Royal Regal Apple

Assembly: 1. Evenly distribute sugar across the bottom of a pan and add water to just cover the sugar. 2. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. 3. When the mixture starts to become a dark caramel color, remove from heat and slowly whisk the cream and whiskey into the mixture until smooth. 4. In a shaker, add two shots of Crown Royal and one shot of Goldschläger over ice. 5. Shake until chilled. 6. Rim shot glasses with the caramel sauce. 7. Carefully strain Goldschläger mixture into shot glasses.

Blood of Satan: Layer 1/2 oz. each of Jägermeister, Goldschläger, Jameson Irish Whiskey and Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey in a shot glass, starting with the Jägermeister and continuing in the order listed.
