This was a major theme of the discussion at the Hawaiian Islands Science Cafe, held Jan. 26 at the Kamakakūokalani Center for Hawaiian Studies. The event was open to everyone and sparked debate about what Hawai‘i should do for alternative energy sources. “It’s a good chance for everyone to get to know their peers, talk story and learn more about what’s going on in Hawai‘i,” said Katie Kamelamela, a botany Ph.D. candidate and one of the organizers of the event. “We’re going to try to do these cafes once a month or so, to give everyone an opportunity to meet new people and spark some ideas.” Many students and faculty came to enjoy pupu and ‘awa, but stayed for a‘o aku a‘o mai: an open forum with community members, researchers, students and outreach coordinators after formal pre-

sentations that encouraged dialogue on renewable energy, wind resources and social justice in Hawai‘i. Other student organizations are educating the public on world environmental issues. The Ecology Club will be hosting an environmental film series this semester one Wednesday out of every month. The first is on Feb. 8 and will feature “BAG IT,” an award-winning documentary about the impact of plastics on society. It will be shown against the wall in the Sustainability Courtyard (weather permitting) and free food will be provided by Da Spot. In case of rain, it will be held in HIG. HI Sci is a UH Mānoa Native Hawaiian graduate student-driven initiative targeted at raising awareness and interaction between Native Hawaiians, the UH Mānoa student body, administration, affiliates, the Hawai‘i community and members of the Hawai‘i science community.

All dried up DAVID TER AOK A Staff Writer Krauss Hall Pond was drained over winter break after a controversy surrounding the green color of the water. After research found the coloration to be from cyanobacteria, and not green dye as previously stated by Facilities and Grounds officials, an inquiry into the pond’s stability found the drainage, pump, and filtration systems were malfunctioning. An independent contractor was called in to pump the water out.

According to Barbara Watanabe, an academic adviser for Student Support Services, the turtles and fish are being taken care of by a Krauss Hall administrator. “There used to be about over 20 ducks here, but they flew away. Now there’s only four,” she said. Despite this, Watanabe still sees students hanging around the building all the time. “Around lunchtime, it [is] crowded.” Student Support Services hopes to take over maintenance for the park after it is renovated, so the students can help

keep it clean. The pond has not had a caretaker since the eviction of the Outreach College in summer of 2010. Skateboarders began to use the pond after it was emptied. Within a day of this development, Facilities filled the pond with gravel to prevent further damage. “ The future plans for the pond are to slightly alter the profile to improve circulation, install a new drain line and pond liner, and install new pumps and filters,” said David Hafner,

assistant vice chancellor for Facilities and Grounds Management over email. “ We are in the process of purchasing the ser vices of an outside contractor who specializes in ponds to do the work by the end of the semester.” The oldest wooden building at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, K rauss Hall was first built in 1931, then expanded in 1947. The pond was part of the expansion and has been home to frogs, cats, turtles, fish and ducks over the years. SHINICHI TOYAMA / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

‘Cop Out’ not a cop out

Police parody d ddances bbetween t h humor andd piercing i i violence il ‘without ‘ ith t missing i i a beat’ A LVIN PARK Associate Features Editor

PHOTO COURTESY OF J. WINSKYE

Following Kennedy Theatre’s main stage production of “ The Genteel Sabai,” the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s Late Night Theatre will present “Cop - Out,” a dark comedy written by acclaimed playwright John Guare. The play is comprised of two storylines involving police officers reflective of popular film genres. One storyline is about a hard-nosed cop who gets caught up in an unlikely romance with a protester. The starcrossed lovers soon find themselves dealing with typical hardships. The second storyline revolves around a cop named Arrow who is a parody of over-the-top Film Noir detectives. This storyline provides much of the comedy to the script. Perhaps most unique to the play is the fact that all seven characters portrayed in “Cop-Out” are performed by two actors. Tyler Nichols plays both police officers, while Josephine Calvo plays the remaining five roles, including the female protester, a legless hobo and Marilyn Monroe. “John Guare has given us a wonderfully tight script,” said Joe Winskye, an MFA directing candidate and director of the play. “This creates a fast-paced show where no strokes are wasted in the telling of our story.”

While directing “Cop-Out,” Winskye strove to differentiate between perceptions of police officers, as either heroes or villains, and the reality of a flawed, vulnerable man who just happens to be a police officer. This, in turn, laid the foundation for the production to turn from dizzying to endearing in a seamless fashion. “It ’s been a pleasure to work with such a committed team,” he said. “Ever yone is completely committed to bringing this amazing stor y to life.”

“Cop-Out” Where: UHM’s Earle Ernst Lab Theatre When: Feb. 3, 4, 10, and 11 at 11 p.m. Tickets: $10 regular; $8 UH faculty/staff, seniors, military and students; $5 UHM students with validated ID.

‘Sabai’: rare randai Starting today, a performance combining singing, talempong music, acting, dancing and storytelling, along with fasttempo pants-slapping percussion beats and silat (Indonesian martial arts), will be running at Kennedy Theatre. Adapted from the Minangkabau ethnic group in West Sumatra, this rare Indonesian theater form, called randai, will be presented in the Department of Theatre and Dance’s production of “The Genteel Sabai.” “Randai showcases unusual stories from a very interesting and often overlooked ethnic group within Indonesia,” said director Kirstin Pauka, professor of Southeast Asian Theatre. The production will present audiences with the spectacle of randai right from the start. As the play opens, 14 dancers

march in slapping their pants, making a deep, hollow sound. “The Genteel Sabai,” a direct translation of original play “Sabai Nan Haluih,” is set in Sumatra and tells the story of female protagonist Sabai. Pauka noted how this play differs from m conventional randai. “Sabai is a rather uncommon type off role in the sense that she is a female refi ned d character that takes on the challenge off avenging her father’s murder, a role moree typically taken on by male characters in other traditional tales,” she said. In collaboration with Pauka, two professional instructors, Musra Dahrizal and Jasrial Jamaluddin, have been working with student performers for over six months to perfect the intricate form. Pauka hopes that “The Genteel Sabai” will foster awareness of the diver-

sity of performing arts in Southeast Asia. “I hope the audience will genuinely enjoy the dynamic and exciting performance style, learn about Minangkabau customs and stories, and discover new favorite songs to listen to,” Pauka said.

The band performs as the opening act for Andrew Bird’s concert at Hawai‘i Theatre. COURTESY OF STEPHEN AGUSTIN

DAMIAN LYMAN Staff Writer Stephen Agustin has bounced around various Hawai‘i rock outďŹ ts in recent years. The current and arguably best incarnation, Stephen Agustin and the Fourth Wall, released its ďŹ rst album, “Motion and Rest,â€? last month. The concept of “the fourth wallâ€? refers to Denis Diderot’s implied fourth wall of a theater stage that separates the audience from the actors. That’s a pretty heady reference, especially for a band name, but it does serve as a fair caveat. Song titles like “Reductio Ad Absurdumâ€? and “The Eternal Returnâ€? are cherry-picked from the wonderful world of academia. “Well, I don’t have a college degree myself. I have like, two years of community college,â€? said Agustin. “I try to write songs that can be meaningful without having to look up all the references.â€? This is real college-boy music. So cue up Wikipedia and keep up, because it’s worth a listen.

“Motion and Rest� is interesting from a standpoint of song sequence. It attempts the “Queen’s Gambit,� putting the album’s catchiest song, “The Big Bang Phenomenon,� right smack dab in front. “The Big Bang Phenomenon� makes sense as the album opener because it doesn’t really correlate with the rest of the album, and bands often throw in these types of songs as openers and closers. The song itself is a no-fuss rocker, as opposed to the more subdued folk fare of the rest of the album. The G-sharp to A to E chord change (see Radiohead’s “Creep,� and Weezer’s “Say It Ain’t So�) tends to be a breeding ground for memorable melodies, and Agustin upholds the tradition well. The persistent, head-bobinducing drive of the snare chugs alongside the straightforward down strokes of the guitar, and Agustin does a good job balancing a sense of frailty with a sense of vitriol in his vocals. The album’s lyrics are full of time-honored metaphors and imag-

ery. It’s a world of ghosts, mirrors, knives and bottles of wine, vague enough for listeners to take away their own interpretations of meaning. Cleverly, Agustin tempers his cryptic musings with a few emotional lines. “Crave a clean slate, but you’re always dirtying up the glass / ’Cause it hurts bad to have no hand in what will pass,� he coos in “Reductio Ad Absurdum.� True to form, Agustin draws inspiration for lyrics mainly from other works of art. “There are personal things that are the cause of the lyrics,� Agustin said. “But I kind of want to go far further than that by trying to see the conditions through a lens of trying to make it something that’s bigger than me, and I think books help me do that.� “Motion and Rest� is available at music.sa4w.com. If you still prefer tangible forms of music delivery, the CD version is available at Hungry Ear Records in Kailua. If you are frightened of digital technology and/or one of those people who just loves “warm tones,� a vinyl version is due to be out at the end of February.

SAR AH NEAL Contributing Writer Recently, Congress attempted to pass some dangerous legislation without drawing attention from American Internet users. These bills, the Stop Online Piracy Act and the Protect Intellectual Property Act, included language that would have allowed for massive Internet censorship. The most noticeable protest took place on Jan. 18, when Wikipedia and Reddit staged blackouts, Google protested with a bold Google Doodle, and other popular websites notified the public of the pending legislation with opposition banners on their pages. Once attention was called to SOPA and PIPA, the American people reacted. Representatives in Washington were inundated with phone calls and emails. In just one day, the number of legislators opposing the bills ballooned from 31 to 101 representatives. The success of these protests floored me. It’s just too bad that the protests essentially boil down to this: we were afraid the government was going to take away our favorite toy, and we had to stop it.

DAVID BERKOWITZ/FLICKR

I’m not trying to trivialize the danger that loomed in the SOPA and PIPA legislation. They could have infringed on free speech and hindered the spread of vital information among the American public. But is this really the most important issue facing us today? What about our legal rights? Aren’t these just as important, if not more so, as our right to access the Internet? Apparently not. Dozens of freedom-stripping laws have been enacted in the years since 9/11, and we have neglected to stop the passing of these items. Just 18 days before the opposition to SOPA and PIPA took shape, President Barack Obama signed a defense bill that effectively allows for the indefi nite detention of American citizens accused of assisting America’s enemies in the War on Terror, and requires the detention of non-citizens accused of the same who are apprehended on American soil. Putting aside the morality of detaining non-Americans indefi nitely – because that discussion opens up a whole new can of worms – this removes one of the most important rights the people of this country possess. Where was our outrage then? Did we not bother to read up

on this important information because it is boring, or complicated, or has no direct impact on our daily lives (yet)? Were we unaware because we were too busy updating our Facebook statuses, watching ridiculous videos on YouTube and recirculating memes to read any actual news that week? Or have we become so complacent, so used to these increasingly Orwellian laws passing, that we really do need our favorite websites to take drastic actions before we bother to pay attention and react to the laws that govern and control all of our lives? The protests surrounding SOPA and PIPA serve as reminders that we have voices with the power to control our government officials. A fter all, they work for us. We should seize the opportunity given us by these protests and start reacting to proposals that encroach on our freedoms (maybe we could start with the dubiously named Protecting Children from Internet Pornographers Act of 2011, which will require Internet providers to track and store all of your Internet information – including your bank account information). Let’s use this momentum to our advantage, and continue to oppose laws with the potential to harm us with the vigor we used to retain our online freedoms.

Special Sneak Preview of

Humans, like other animals, need to procreate. So it is logical that even in ancient times, some form of marriage was taking shape. But now, far removed from the days of the caveman, humankind has taken huge strides to arrive where we are today. Therefore, one blaring question sticks out: why is marriage still practiced? Marriage, as an institution, initially ser ved as a pragmatic tool for maintaining and sustaining social order. Yet some time in the past 100 years in the U.S. and similar countries, marriage has gone through a metamorphosis. The perception and overall function of a 21stcentur y A merican marriage is drastically dif ferent from marriage throughout thousands of years of histor y. The entire course of Western civilization has been shaped by marriages. K ingdoms throughout Europe formed alliances

and gained their territories through the simple unification of a prince and a princess. The effects of marriage as an institution affect us still today. In many areas, the U.S. has been the world’s trendsetter for modernization. Yet, with respect to marriage, the U.S. is setting an ugly trend for divorce statistics. Numerous sources state that nearly 50 percent of all marriages in this country end in divorce, whereas the divorce rate in India is not even 2 percent. The fundamental change which has taken place is that marriage is no longer viewed as a straightforward business arrangement, but as a fantasyland scenario in which people are told to search for their one true love. Divorce rates are rising, probably due in large part to Hollywood’s distortion of reality and role model marriages – K im Kardashian’s lasted only 72 days. One cornerstone element of marriage that endured for millennia but has mysteriously disappeared is the practice of paying a dowry and bride price. For those

tury not 21st-cen compatible

unfamiliar with these practices, unfa a dowry is the money, goods or land that a woman brings to her husband and his family in marriage, and a bride price is the money paid by the groom and his family to the bride’s family. The disappearance of paying a dowry and bride price can be directly linked to society’s push toward egalitarian practices and equal rights for women. But in the case of Kim Kardashian and her husband, the payment of a large dowry and bride price might have proven pivotal to ensuring the longevity of their marriage. Both sides ďŹ nancially committing large sums of money to each other is a clear signal of dedication and being “in it for the long run.â€? Marriage has historically functioned like a business transaction, and not just a love story. Perhaps the prenuptial agreement is our society’s quick fix to the antiquated practice of a dowry and bride price.

During National Signing Day on Wednesday, the Warrior football team gained commitments from four transfer players, as well as 14 high school seniors. Head coach Norm Chow will look to a few transfers to contribute early. “Obviously we want the junior college players to [contribute right away] – they’re two years older and they only have 20 games to do it in,â€? Chow said. “Clark Evans, our tight end; Ronnie Fields, our safety; and Mike Milovale, our offensive tackle – we are going to need them.â€? Despite having just a month to put together a coaching staff and a recruiting class, Chow credited the support he has received. “It’s been hectic – there’s so much to be done, but it’s been fun,â€? Chow said. “The people around here have just been generous with their time and information. We’ve put together a nice staff and did some nice recruiting.â€? Of the 18 recruits, Chow and his coaching staff were able to secure ďŹ ve players from Hawai‘i, with the rest coming from the mainland. “It’s been hard. But wherever you go, you try to keep players at home, and then you try to go out and get players to come,â€? Chow said. “Historically around here, a majority of the players leave. That’s what has to be changed.â€?

Road trips

new experience p for volleyball y freshman

MARC A RAKAKI Sports Editor

NIK SEU/ KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Senior outside hitter Steven Hunt will lead a young team into Stockton, Calif.

“Wake up at 8, get breakfast, make sure you’re running, get conscious. Usually around 12, we go in and just serve and pass to prepare for the game physically, and right after we usually do video. And then right after that we eat lunch and then digest all the information until we go to the game,” said senior middle hitter Jarrod Lofy of a typical Warrior volleyball game day on the road. The biggest difference from playing at home, according to senior libero Nick Castello, “[is] just the whole routine of day-to-day things.” “ We have our whole day planned, and it ’s not like you can just do whatever you want and just show up to warm up,” Castello continued.

“ W hen you go on a road trip, it ’s not just fun time – it ’s business.” With 10 freshmen on the roster, traveling on the team’s first road trip of the season last weekend took adjustments. “Here you have the hometown vibes. And you go there – it’s totally different,” freshman outside hitter Brook Sedore said. “It’s a different experience for us [the newcomers]. It’s hard to win on the road.” As the team prepares for its second road trip of the season this weekend, a game against Pacific in Stockton, Calif., Sedore said he will do a few things differently. “[I will] focus on schoolwork more at the start of the week,” Se dore said. “A nd then get your mind into that, ‘yeah, we’re going to the mainland.’ You gotta really get your mind and body into it.”

THE OPPONENT

Pacific isn’t your typical Mountain Pacific Sports Federation powerhouse, having gone 7-81 in conference matches the past four seasons. Although the Tigers have stuggled recently, they will display a 3-5 record heading into their series with Hawai‘i. “I don’t feel any sort of pressure no matter who I’m playing,” Lofy said. “I don’t care if we go to BYU at BYU. There is no more added pressure no matter what type of team it is. You have to go in and respect anybody.” No. 14 Hawai‘i (4-5, 1-3 MPSF) will play No. 12 Pacific (3-5, 1-2 MPSF) on Friday and Saturday at 4 p.m. HST. “There shouldn’t be any added pressure because of what they’re doing. It’s about taking care of business on our end at the end of the day,” said Lofy. “If we do what we need to do, there is nobody who can get in our way.”
