of the fi nancial pressure from these domestic abuse shelters.” The Junior League of Honolulu is a women’s organization that works to improve communities through volunteer work. The organization admits new members twice per year, and the current new group of approximately 30 women must create a service project as a requirement for admission. The new members decided to focus their project on serving domestic violence shelters after one new member, Marci Lopes, educated them about budget cuts and the conditions many women face when entering a shelter. Lopes is the program director for all of O‘ahu’s domestic abuse shelters, and is in charge of visitation services. The group’s goal is to raise a minimum of 1,000 pillows, which will be enough to sustain O‘ahu domestic abuse shelters for one year. “We just really want people to come by, even if they can only donate one pillow,” said Schwarz.

“People aren’t environmentalists until it affects them,” stated Nicole Ferguson, president of Sustainable UH. Student groups such as the UHM Sustainability Corps, Student Organic Farm Training, Sustainable UH and the O‘ahu Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation have been working to help make the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa campus sustainable for everyone. One of these initiatives is First Green Friday, taking place today from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Sustainability Courtyard. Maureen O’Malley, the co-chair of the UHM Sustainability Corps, is heading the event. “[The] plan is to make the whole campus more sustainable ... [to have] students working on proj-
ects,” said professor Tony Kuh, chair of the electrical engineering department. These groups are working to improve communication between students, faculty and administration on sustainability issues. They are also working to provide feedback opportunities for faculty and students and to get more students engaged in sustainability projects with real-world applications. Various organizations and departments within UH Mānoa have also put together the Kukui Cup challenge, a three-week sustainability competition involving more than 300 freshmen in the residence halls. The Student Organic Farm Training group has been working on getting food-producing plants planted around campus. There had previously been issues with the initiative, but now there is a system for what happens with the food produced. Sustainable UH is currently working to reduce single-use plastics on campus. As a part of that initiative, it worked with Andy Lachman to bring in a chilled and fi ltered water-refi lling station to Kuykendall Hall via the locally based company Flo Water. The station will give students an affordable alternative to traditional bottled water while also cutting down on disposable water bottle use. It cost UH Mānoa no money and is the fi rst part of a potentially larger network of stations. According to Tyneski Quintel, an intern with the Surfrider Foundation, group members will be circulating a petition to ban plastic bags from campus at First Green Friday. The foundation’s current campaign is called Rise Above Plastics. “It’s about getting all of these people to work together,” said Sam King, co-chair of the UHM Sustainability Corps. Part two of this column will cover administrative actions and plans for sustainability at UH Mānoa.

Hawai‘i residents have it easy when it comes to picking out an autumn day’s outfit. Here, the worst wardrobe mistake we can make is forgetting an umbrella on a rainy day. Hawai‘i fashion trends can be largely attributed to the weather and “toned-downâ€? attitude in Hawai‘i, which brings about a certain comfort level, according to Jasmine Fernandez, a University of Hawai‘i at MÄ noa student and intern at the Smithsonian Asian PaciďŹ c American Program. In Washington, D.C., forgetting a jacket or coat is a source of misery when the temperature drops to the 40s, especially for an islander used to a tropical atmosphere. Citizens of D.C. have mastered the art of layering on chilly autumn days with coats, blazers, boots, scarves and the occasional beanie or pair of gloves. Here are a few comparisons of the campus fashions at UH MÄ noa versus Trinity Washington University, a liberal arts women’s college in Washington, D.C.

I’ve never seen so many people in suits, let alone people in suits running.

My best friend Emma is a new type of doll from Mattel called “Protestant Barbie.” She comes complete with a deluxe Bible, cross necklace and l d W WJD bracelet, purity ring sold separately. I am Skipper, because I “skipped” believing in God. When I came to the realization that I was an atheist, the person I was most concerned about sharing this with was Emma. Emma went to church every Sunday and Wednesday, prayed multiple times a day, made an effort to follow God’s law and tried her best to convert others to Christianity too. Since I didn’t believe that Emma’s celebrity crush, God, was even real, I was obviously worried about her reaction. Last summer, I finally told her my secret. “Emma, I don’t – I don’t really believe in God,” I told her. Expecting some kind of terrible thing to occur, like an earthquake, a fl ood, a sunless day in Hawai‘i, I was surprised to fi nd it was not that big of a deal to Emma. “I believe in God,” was all she said. Later that summer, Emma started seeing a boy named Chad. This was a big deal to her, because she had never dated a boy before, and most of her Christian friends hadn’t either. Confused and torn about her
beliefs and desires, she turned to her (Christian) friend for advice. The three of us were hanging out at a coffee shop one day when Emma asked her friend to talk in private, outside. I wondered why she wanted to talk to her friend without me present. The two went outside to talk. They talked about Emma’s struggle between wanting to date a boy and also wanting to keep up her relationship with God. I suppose I wouldn’t have had anything to add to this conversation, and Emma’s friend did. Of course, there were obvious differences between Emma’s friend and me. For one, she read the Bible and I read “ The God Delusion” by Richard Dawkins. But in a larger sense, I thought that the main difference between Emma’s friend and me was that Emma could tell me things that she could not tell other people. This day proved that the truth was contrary to my beliefs. Or, perhaps Emma preferred talking to her friend because that friend was a Christian and thus they shared the same lifestyles and choices – ones I didn’t possess. It was in that moment I knew that the relationship between a Christian and a Christian was
going to be a lot stronger than the relationship between a Christian and an atheist. That was when I realized my friendship with Emma may always be rocky because of our varying viewpoints on religion. And, well, that sucked. Religious views, like political standpoints, culture and heritage, are a large part of identity for most people. And at an age when we young adults try to “fi nd ourselves” and what we believe and don’t believe in, I felt as if the self that I was finding would not fit in with the self that Emma was fi nding. But the following week, Emma and Chad had gone on another date. After Emma came home, she called me to tell me about it. I was surprised by this because I thought that Emma wasn’t going to tell me anything about her relationship with Chad, because I wouldn’t understand why her dating him was confl icting with her also dating God. “I think I want to kiss him,” she said. “Why are you telling me this?” I asked. “Well … I couldn’t talk to my friends at the church about stuff like this,” Emma said.

Men and women on po porn “PORN IS
like to see and thus are given just that. When it comes down to it, most men want to feel empowered and in control. Period. Porn is visual and geared toward men for the sole purpose of physical arousal and stimulation. It lacks the artistic quality present in literature and other forms of entertainment. Written erotica, however, tends to be more like porn’s nice little sister. Erotica (it even sounds feminine) tends to be written by women and read by women. It generally involves more realistic encounters and a relationship that develops with depth, resulting in an intimate connection. It evokes an emotional response in the reader, which may be what attracts women to the genre. As great as this can be for some women, it does little for most men – and for obvious reasons. A pornographic movie is about a spontaneous and quickly moving encounter. It is about the mailman having sex with the mom that answers the door, the gardener that slips in after the husband leaves for work. Thus, it is about fantasy, enabling an escape from en the typical routine. th But is it really our fault? Bu Some point to biology as So the t he cause of this phenome have examined non.

I watch porn from time to time. It t ypically involves videos I’ve made with previous partners, but occasionally, I’ll find something else. W hen I do, it is more of ten than not some thing degrading toward women. So why do so many of us men enjoy this sort of filth? My guess would be because men are visual creatures, pornography appeals to us. An overwhelming majority of porn seems to be made for men by men. We have an idea of what we

This points to why men often like the encounter instead of the buildup, and why many women prefer intimacy. It also alludes to why men can be aroused by an encounter with a complete stranger, while most women prefer a deeper connection before sex. Secondly, humans have used visual cues throughout our history to identify potentially fertile mates. Youth has always been regarded as “better” because of the assumption of higher fertility potential and minimal previous encounters. This could be the reason the most popular porn typically involves young, voluptuous females. Porn is here to stay. It has existed for centuries and will continue in some form or another. In the end, it comes down to the individual, and is better in moderation. Author Erica Jong stated her thoughts on porn when she said, “My reaction to porn films is as follows: After the first 10 minutes, I want to go home and screw. After the first 20 minutes, I never want to screw again as long as I live.”

Music has changed considerably over time. Centuries ago, Mozart and Beethoven swept listeners off their feet with symphonies and concertos. A hundred years ago, ballroom dancing led Americans into the Roaring ’20s, followed by show tunes, swing, and eventually the birth of rock and roll, funk, Motown, disco, ’80s ballads, grunge and then whatever you would like to defi ne as music over the past 20 years. Contemporary music, particularly what has developed in the last two decades, has become increasingly harder to categorize because of a seemingly exponential increase in music genres. It seems that as quickly as new music genres appear, they are eclipsed by the next hot variety. Needless to say, what’s hot today almost certainly won’t be the music of choice tomorrow. Connoisseurs of music will agree that there is a defi ning moment in music history that serves as the dividing point between talented music and the modern blah which has reigned supreme over the past 22 years and three months, to be exact. This infamous moment occurred on July 21, 1989 – a day that will forever live in infamy. On this date in history, a popular musical group called Milli Vanilli was performing in Bristol, Conn., during a stop on tour for its album “Girl You Know It’s True.” On stage, while performing the song of the same name, the audio track began to skip because a tape recording had jammed. The fallout from this mishap began the process that suggested that Milli Vanilli was a music fraud. Shortly thereafter, the raw truth came out. Fans were appalled that Milli Vanilli

Milli Vanilli, fronted by Fab Morvan (left) and Rob Pilatus (right) was formed in Germany in 1988. The group won a Grammy in 1990, but it was revoked after the discovery that Morvan and Pilatus had not actually recorded the vocals on their award-winning record. chose to lip-sync its songs instead of singing them live. The band had its 1990 Grammy Award for Best New Artist revoked. The bad news didn’t stop there; it was eventually revealed that lead singers Rob and Fab were not even the genuine voices behind Milli Vanilli’s unique sound, nor did either of these men write their own music. Within a few months, Milli Vanilli had melted away into hip-hop oblivion. Milli Vanilli trumpeted in an entirely new era: today’s popular, mainstream music. The presentation of Milli Vanilli to the general public was just a tiny white lie

concerning who actually sang the songs being performed. Nonetheless, this fundamental variance resulted in a paradigm shift for the entire music industry on every level imaginable. The rules of the game changed after Milli Vanilli. Prior to Milli Vanilli, musicians were held to an extremely high standard of competency and professionalism. It would have been unimaginable to hear a band like Van Halen or a pop star like Michael Jackson use “behind the curtains” lead singers, nor would anyone have attempted to give a concert and use a backup track.

Clearly, the standards for what is considered “quality music” have plummeted. The past 20 years mark a low point in music; even when cavemen beat mammoth skin and sticks around their campfires, theirs was a music more pure and enjoyable. Music consumers of today should not be surprised about the lack of good music available. The blame lies entirely with consumers who celebrate people like Britney Spears, a singer who became popular in spite of the very obvious fact that she did not write or compose her own music. Since Milli Vanilli’s inaugural lip syncing fiasco in 1989, there have been numerous other groups following suit. Ashlee Simpson, younger sister of the more famous Jessica Simpson, was blatantly caught lip -synching several years back while performing live on SNL , yet she did not receive the same wrath from her fans that Milli Vanilli had received for the exact same crime. Seemingly all music leading up to Milli Vanilli was original. Today, music has devolved to the point where the only prerequisite for stardom is that the musicians look likeable enough to tour and perform, as exemplified in almost all boy bands or Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus. Milli Vanilli shattered the psyche of music lovers everywhere because of its revelation of the ugly truth. Surprisingly, after the truth was revealed, instead of seeing an industry go through a self-examination, which would return music to high standards of professionalism and accountability, the industry began to experiment further with what generated bigger sales. It was in this sales-driven sprint that the door was opened to a fl ood of modern-day music that is laughable, at best.

Aggies come marching in, Warriors prepare for ‘shootout’ JOEY R AMIREZ Staff Writer At fi rst glance, Utah State and its 2-5 record seem to be nothing more than a speed bump in the University of Hawai‘i’s (5-3) road to the 2011 Western Athletic Conference Championship. But that may not be the case, and Hawai‘i will have to be wary. “We’ve got to be really sound on our tackling. Got to limit their big plays,” said senior safety Richard Torres. “It’s going to be really key to get them down early.” The Aggies are undoubtedly one of the most explosive teams in the WAC – perhaps even in the country. In fact, despite its lackluster record, Utah State has actually outscored its opponents 251-195. Also, its 35.9 points per game surpasses even UH’s 34.2. Utah State is led by 2009 and preseason All-WAC running back Robert Turbin (918 total yards, 14 touchdowns). Despite being injured for the entire 2010 season, Turbin
has rebounded with 6.6 yards per carry as the nation’s No. 24 leading rusher. What should be the Aggies’ weak point has actually turned out to be a strength. Although a true freshman, quarterback Chuckie Keeton has surpassed the expectations in Logan, Utah, this season (1,376 total yards, 14 total touchdowns, one interception). Unfortunately for Utah State, its defense has not had the same success on its side of the ball. Opponents are averaging 27.9 ppg against the Aggies – a trend Hawai‘i hopes to build upon. For the Warriors, senior quarterback Br yant Moniz (2,707 total yards, 26 total touchdowns) will once again lead the charge. T he No. 8 leading pass er in the NCA A will need to electrif y his of fense from the beginning to avoid be ing over whelmed by Utah State’s equally potent of fense. “We have an expectation to score every time we have the football, and if we
don’t do that, then we didn’t meet our expectations,” senior wide receiver Royce Pollard said. As for UH’s special teams, they seem to have solved the problems that faced their field goal unit. Despite only converting 50 percent of field goals and 82 percent of extra points through the first seven games, it appears to be back on track. In last week’s matchup with Idaho, the field goal team was successful on all three of its attempts, including a 47-yarder by freshman placekicker Tyler Hadden and the game-winning three-yarder by senior placekicker Kenton Chun. Such heroics may be needed again this week. Four of the Aggies’ five losses have been by one score – meaning those at Aloha Stadium could be in for a nailbiter this Saturday. It will take a valiant effort on all sides of the ball to put away this Utah State team that might have been undefeated were it able to pull away in such close contests.
The Warriors cannot afford to overlook this team. The Aggies are capable of hanging with anyone, anywhere. What else do you expect from the WAC school that was four points away from taking down defending national champion Auburn?

Gaining back the offense K EVIN FOX Contributing Writer Last week against Idaho, the Warrior football team’s 16-point performance was the lowest point total Hawai‘i had put up since a 42-7 defeat at Boise State last November. Fortunately, the defense was able to hold the Vandals to 14 points. “[The lack of offense was because of] really good defensive play by Idaho,” offensive coordinator Nick Rolovich said. Hawai‘i (5-3, 3-1 Western Athletic Conference) managed 338 yards through the air, as well as 21 fi rst downs, but also committed three turnovers. Senior wide receiver Royce Pollard racked up the most receiving yardsof the game with 151 on 10 receptions. Sophomore wide receiver Billy Ray Stutzmann scored the only Warrior touchdown of the day. Hawai‘i is known for a more prolifi c passing game (averaging 2.5 passing touchdowns per game) than ground attack – but

Senior wide receiver Royce Pollard and the Warrior offense will look to solve their problems against the Utah State Aggies tomorrow at Aloha Stadium. rushing for only 15 yards in Moscow, Idaho, is not going to cut it. The Warriors averaged 115.6 yards on the ground prior to playing Idaho. Hawai‘i’s only lower
rushing total came at the hands of UNLV’s defense in a 40-20 loss in September in which the Warriors only managed 6 yards. “[The Warriors] weren’t able
to run the ball like we wanted to,” Rolovich said. Pollard and junior wide receiver Jeremiah Ostrowski demanded improvement.
“It was kind of a sloppy affair,” Pollard said. “We just need to execute more. We had a lot of mistakes and fortunately we did enough to win. We defi nitely could’ve played a better game. It falls on all of us. “I believe in our team. I have faith. I don’t see any reason we can’t go undefeated for the rest of the season. Being a senior, I have high expectations for everybody. I put those three losses [total] on my head.” The Warriors played against Idaho in the 16,000 seat Kibbie Dome. “[This resulted in more] crowd noise, [and] not hearing the snap count,” Ostrowski said. “We’ve just got to execute more as a group, as a unit. [The] line needs to block, receivers need to run their routes, [the] quarterback needs to get the throws in. Being at home will help us a lot. “I see us winning ever y game. We know what we can do and what we’re capable of – [but we will focus on] taking them one at a time.”

JOE F ERRER Associate Sports Editor Redshirting can be a good option for young athletes who lack experience coming into a college program. Redshirting is when a college player chooses to sit out every game of the season in exchange for an extra year of eligibility. They do everything that is asked of college athletes – watch ďŹ lm, practice and work out with the team – but do not play in the games. Typically, a player’s redshirt season would be his or her ďŹ rst year with the team. The idea is to have the athletes spend a year yea focused solely on improving and learning the playbook. Since the NCA A only grants athletes four years of eligibility, an extra year to adjust can really help out a player’s career. However, during the course of a season, players
can abandon their redshirt status in exchange for an opportunity to play right away. Freshman receiver Trevor Davis abandoned his redshirt status. Davis and the Warrior coaching staff had planned to have him spend the season following around senior Royce Pollard and learning what he could from the ďŹ ve-year veteran. But the coaches knew Davis could be called upon this season to contribute. “I didn’t come in thinking I was going to play automatically,â€? said Davis. “I knew we had a lot of good receivers, so I was looking [forward] to just following behind Royce [Pollard] and just watching was doing out here.â€? what he w

Freshman wide receiver Trevor Davis gave up his redshirt status to play in Hawai‘i’s homecoming game on Oct. 22. Davis is listed to start this weekend at the “X� receiver position.
“As a young guy, the numbers worked that way where it was a good opportunity for him to sit for a year, but if he was good enough, he was going to play,â€? said offensive coordinator Nick Rolovich. Davis’ opportunity came on homecoming night, against New Mexico State. With starting receivers Pollard and Darius Bright hampered by injuries from earlier in the season, Rolovich had a feeling that Davis was going to get his ďŹ rst taste of college football. After sophomore receiver Allen Sampson went down in the ďŹ rst half with an ACL injury, Davis’ number was called. “I wanted to go in there and be an actual reliable receiveer and be able to get a couple passes,â€? said Davis. “I wanted to help my team do well and be a part of my team.â€? And help he did. In the fourth quarter, the 118 -year-old broke loose down the sideline, caught d a 40 -yard bomb from quarterback Bryant Moniz te and took it down to the an one-yard line, setting on up u a touchdown on the next play. th great,â€? said Davis. “It felt gr “It was a pe perfect pass.â€?

I didn’t come here not to be a team player; I came here to be a team player.â€?
