Stalking Awareness Month brings social media to spotlight JANE CALLAHAN Associate News Editor

Several campus organizations came together this January, which is National Stalking Month, to say “Stop following me.” It’s the slogan for PAU Violence’s campaign, which aims to spread awareness of cyberstalking, cyberbullying and harassment. Leslie Cabingabang, the program coordinator for the PAU Violence Program, said that “with the increase in the use of technology to stalk, this event will educate our students about various issues related to stalking and social networking safety in general.” The event, which was sponsored by a grant from the National Department of Justice, saw the distribution of several hundred T-shirts to students, but in a way that required their active participation. “In order to get a T-shirt, students had to think of a quote related to safe dating or stalking awareness, write it on the white board and take a picture of themselves with it,” Cabingabang said. She added that the photos would be used in awareness campaigns held throughout the year. Cameron Miyamoto, who runs LGBT Student Services, was one of the volunteers at the table. “There’s stalking and harassment on this campus just like there is on any other college campus,” Miyamoto said. “This event is really getting the message out, and I’m glad that UH is at the forefront of these efforts.” Cabingabang deﬁ ned stalking as “a course of conduct directed at a speciﬁ c person that would cause a reasonable person to feel fear.” The most common scenario found in cyber harassment is between people who know each other; roughly three out of four stalking cases involve persons who have

Today’s technology and social media sites have rendered stalking easier to execute and, arguably, harder to prevent. It falls more and more upon the individual to protect himself or herself in an age where information is much more readily shared. had some form of personal relationship prior to the offense. In 30 percent of cases, victims are stalked by an ex-boyfriend or -girlfriend. Jodi Ito, the Information Security ofﬁ cer with Information Technology Services, said that she had seen stalking scenarios occur between student and faculty and employer and employees.

Ito said it is important to “understand the risks that accompany these technologies.” The 2007 case of Megan Meier, a teenage girl who committed suicide after she was harassed by a peer’s mother through MySpace, was one of several cases that led state and federal governments to act upon such tactics.

Kayla Dziwalski, a junior in social work, was a victim of cyber bullying. “I’ve been bullied through Facebook and MySpace.” Dziwulski detailed the escalation of events, which started with a classmate sending disturbing private messages through social media networks. The bullying progressed outside of the Internet, when Dziwulkski’s car

was keyed and a rock was thrown through her windshield. “I tried to get a restraining order but I couldn’t, because the judge said that the girl hadn’t threatened to kill me,” Dziwulksi said. This was before clearly outlined laws were passed in 2009 See Stalking, next page

regarding cyber harassment. Hawai‘i State Law 711-1106, along with similar federal laws, led to a decrease in harassment via the Internet and other modern technologies. Such an offense is now classiﬁed as a petty misdemeanor. Cabingabang said that like other forms of interpersonal violence, stalking involving UH students is now referred to law enforcement. She noted that “if the stalker is a student, the Judicial Affairs Committee is notiﬁed.” Zach Yamabe, a sophomore in engineering, said that a female friend of his is currently experiencing cyber stalking, but feels she can “do nothing about it.” “She blocked her ex-boyfriend on Facebook, but he still goes to (mutual friends’) pages to see what she’s up to. He even asked other people for her class schedule this semester,” Yamabe said. While sites such as Facebook can increase the amount of personal information displayed on the World Wide Web, Cabingabang said that privacy is possible. “Be aware of the kind of information you share online as well as in your daily life,” she said. Facebook offers members the chance to “check in” at places they are currently visiting, such as cafés, airports, and clubs, in order to let people in their social network know where they are. “I don’t do that,” said Dziwulski. “It just gives

someone a chance to ﬁ nd out where you are at all times, and that’s dumb.” Many students agreed that some users post too much information on their social networking sites. J.P. Bulaquena, a sophomore in business, said, “People update their status with things like ‘I’m eating lunch.’ Who cares? We don’t need to know everything.” Bulaquena said that in order to further protect personal information and images, it is a good idea to “untag” oneself in online photos, adding, “screen everything you put out there about yourself.” Nikki Gutley, a junior in marine biology, said that even though she belongs to Facebook, she isn’t worried about her privacy because she posts very limited information. “My proﬁ le is set to ‘friends only,’ and I don’t post just anything. I like to keep my public appearance to others as classy as possible.” Gutley added that in this day and age, younger people “don’t seem to take their privacy seriously.” Miyamoto said his own approach when placing information online is that he “imagines everything as if it were a press release.” He agreed that “having Facebook is a fun thing” but reminded students to remember “that information is very public.” The next cyber harassment awareness event will take place on Tuesday with a talk by Jodi Ito in Campus Center Dining room 203E at 12:30 p.m.

State budget talks reveal financial strain SAM K ING Investigative Reporter According to interim budget director Kalbert Young, quoted in the Star-Advertiser, Governor Neil Abercromie budget presentation to the legislature will be delayed until March. That sounds bad, since the Legislature is only in session until May. However, as far as UHM is concerned, it is not a big deal at all. The reason for this is the political maneuvering that is government budgets. According to Kathy Cutshaw, UHM Vice Chancellor for Administration, Finance and Operations, UH administrators are not worried about the delayed budget because the Lingle administration already turned in a budget for 2011-13, as required by law. The issue, as Rep. Gene Ward put it, is that “he hasn’t put the Abercrombie stamp on it.” “We think we have got to give him some time to tweak,” Rep. Ward continued, “because he’s got a huge spending category without revenue sources to come up with $800 million of projected deﬁ cit for the next six years.” The question for Rep. Ward is where all the revenue is going to come from. “There are ticket items which he is going to have to have in the budget … what are some of these revenue enhancement options that [Abercrombie] say[s] [he’s] going to make? And he said, ‘well, we’ll get back to you on that.’” Both Rep. Ward and Sen. Sam Slom are concerned about all the spending the governor wants to add to the Lingle budget. “We had Congressman Abercrombie for 10 terms, 20 years,” Senator Slom said, “and if you look at his record he was one of the biggest spenders that we had, he was big on earmarks, and if he brings that same philosophy to

the state which is already on its knees economically, we will not see a major recovery.” Sen. Slom also believes the Council on Revenue’s numbers are overly optimistic. The Council on Revenue sets the baseline for how much the state can budget by forecasting how much the state will receive in tax revenue for the year. “One of the reasons the visitor industry has improved is because there has been a lot of rate cutting. But if you look at the rest of the economy, construction industry is in the tank, small businesses, which represent 98% of all business here, are hurting … The bottom line on all of this is that our economy has not turned a corner and with new taxes coming and with new employer mandated benefits, it is going to be into at least 2012 before anyone seriously considers hiring on a major scale. Most of the hiring has been done in the government,” said Slom. One example of hiring in the government is the governor’s office itself. “ The Lingle administration was told by the House finance committee and Senate budget committee that ‘your budget will be cut down to bare bones because we don’t know who is going to win the election…they didn’t want it to be a Republican,” Rep. Ward said. “Right now there is one staffer in the Lt. Governor’s office and I believe three in the Governor’s office. They don’t have a budget to do anything. So there has got to be an emergency appropriation to make [the governor’s office] operational. Vice Chancellor Cutshaw does not feel that UHM is threatened. “The legislature and the governor are big supporters of higher education,” said Cutshaw. Even See budget, next page

if the Legislature and the governor cannot work out a budget, UH system is still accounted for in Lingle’s budget, which is currently law. The big difference between Lingle’s and Abercrombie’s budgets will be the programs Abercrombie attempts to add. As Rep. Ward put it, “[Abercrombie’s] imprint [on the budget] is going to be very costly. He wants to bring the prisoners home, he is giving extra money for the [Government Employee] health fund, we’ve got hospital system in deﬁcit … the rainy day fund has been depleted … almost completely.” At the Legislature on Wednesday, the UH system showed up to justify its budget requests to the legislature. It was a who’s-who event of top UH system chancellors, vice chancellors, assistant vice chancellors, presidents and vice presidents. Senator Jill Tokuda did ask the UHM Chancellor one question about the UHM athletic program: “What’s the plan … ” for making it profitable? Hinshaw’s response: “Jim [Donovan] has a very laid out plan for what our projections are … We’ll make sure to get that to you.” She did have an upside for the leg: “ There is some relief because we managed to pass a long-overdue fee ... ” One can only assume she meant the athletic fee, although she did not specify.

UH will need all the support it can get if it is to avoid the axe from Abercrombie. Sen. Slom summed it up, saying, “Our new budget director came from the private sector in Maui and he said he’s never seen anything like this. I asked him if he thought he was prepared for it and he said he thought he was, until he found out how bad it really was … People can spin it, but when your name is on the front door, you have a lot of responsibility … but up to this point, I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt.”

Aural stimulation coming at you live

PHOTO COURTESY OF TYSON PARKS

Tyson Parks, also known as Bearmod, has gained popular following for his live performances which incorporate both aural and visual stimualtors to put on a show for the audience. A LIK A PFALTZGR AFF Staff Writer

Among an electronic sea of silicon stylists, adjunct funk-practitioners, and wannabe mash-bangers, Tyson Parks, also known as Bearmod, has managed to separate himself from his constituents by combining abstract electronica with hyper-active polyphonic rhythms, resulting in performances that simultaneously demand and condemn every sense in rapturous awe. This Saturday night, in conjunction with Space & Sound, Parks will be bringing his blend of futuristic folly to Nextdoor Cinema Lounge and Concert Hall, marking his ﬁ rst performance in Honolulu. And though he currently resides in Canada, his roots lie ﬁ rmly in Hawaiian soil, as he grew up on the Big Island in the lush city of Waimea. “I started out doing really

low-ﬁ, minimal stuff, in the vein of Sixtoo and other Ninja Tune mainstays,” Parks said. After re-locating to Montreal however, he fell in with the artists he grew up idolizing, working with Sixtoo on live performances and quixotic documentaries. He began to carve out a niche for himself as an audio/visual performer. These days, they’re one and the same. Space & Sound, the collective that organized the show, is a young promotional group with a penchant for abstract electronica. Founded by former KTUH DJ’s Trav15, Anne Nguyen, Faults, Elonius and Vezzen, they’ve brought down two high proﬁ le musicians since their inception in 2009. “We are dedicated to supporting and exposing new art and music to our local community, aiming to push the limits of visual and aural performance and experience,” said Nguyen, who’s

responsible for the subdued promotional posters the group has come to be known for. T heir most recent show was held at Mark ’s Garage, and featured painter/musician Teebs, a member of the highly venerated Brainfeeder label. T he exhibit showcased Teebs’ hand-painted art work, as well as his soulf ul blend of beats. Starting this promotional group has had unforeseen beneﬁts as well, such as befriending the artists they look up to. DJ Faults said, “When Teebs was down here, we showed him the island, the people and our cultural predilection for diversity – be it visual, aural or biochemical. He was a humble kid, and we still keep touch via e-mail. We’d like to work with his contemporaries in the future, and eventually expand beyond the realm of electronic music, showcasing

bands that we feel are pushing the oversaturated sonic-encased spectrum we ﬁ nd ourselves in. ” Living in Montreal has afforded Parks the opportunity to work with glitch luminaries such as Laser Sword and Lunice. His hyper-kinetic, super-synthetic auditory assault is surpassed only by his kaleidoscopic mélange of derelict visuals. “I use Ableton Live for both my visual and sonic shows, creating a precise sense of synergism,” said Tyson. According to their website, Ableton Live is a computer program used for “recording, production, beatmaking, remixing and live performance.” Opening for Bearmod will be fellow Big Island native DJ Packo, whose recently released “Aquadust II” mix is garnering mass praise from critics and dubstep aficionados alike.

Glitch is a genre that’s hard to pin down, as it’s innately suspended in a state of perpetual malleability. The style that Tyson is rooted in, Bay Area crunk, fuses deep bass and caustic synths. His high octane shows have been known to invoke diastasis between heart and mind, redolent of an epileptic ﬁt sans the pain and paralysis. Often boisterous, borderline superﬂ uous, yet undeniably groove-inducing – it’s safe to say that bodies will be in full swing.

BEARMOD Where: Nextdoor Cinema Lounge and Concert Hall, 43 N Hotel St Honolulu, HI 96813 When: This Saturday at 9 p.m. How Much: Ten dollars at the door.

Three games to boost your speaking skills DAVIN AOYAGI Associate Opinions Editor The pressure and stress that occur during an interview may result in occasional stage fright and loss of words for some students. Because the interview is crucial in the hiring process, practicing and developing speaking skills is critical to future success. While games may be helpful, basing your communication upon L337speak when going to an interview may be unsuccessful. Stating that you’d like to “pwn” the other ofﬁ ce “n00bs” is a sureﬁ re way not to be hired. By modifying board games and activities to better utilize speech, students can enter an interview with professional speaking skills.

MO D I F I E D A P P L E S T O APPLES Students may be familiar with the traditional game of “Apples to Apples,” where one person will

pick a green adjective card per round. The other players who have ﬁ ve red cards with nouns or verbs have to pick the card they feel is most appropriate for the green adjective card. The individual who has chosen the green card acts as a judge, picking out which red card he or she likes the most. “Apples to Apples” debates work slightly differently from regular “Apples to Apples.” While individuals still take turns drawing green cards, the other players pick one random red card from their hand. They then have to reveal the card and provide an impromptu explanation about why their card is the most related to that adjective. For example, in a recent game played with friends, I connected my red card “River” with the green card “Scary” by attempting to explain how the Holy Roman Emperor Barbarossa drowned in a river on his way to lead the Crusades.

Needless to say, I didn’t win that round. Nevertheless, this game boosts quick thinking and promotes speaking skills that are necessar y to win a round – or own an inter view.

MAFIA This game is a guaranteed way for students to have fun, provided that everyone is committed to playing their roles. While there are different ways of playing the game, the version that I’m most familiar with involves a Narrator who will go to great lengths to describe the setting and the fate of all players in the game. The Narrator will usually appoint one to two people to play as Mafi a, and then appoint a Sheriff and a Doctor. Each round, there is a “night” period where the Mafi a will point at the person they’d like to kill, the Sheriff will point at the person he/she suspects is the Mafi a, and the Doctor will point at the person they’d like to save. All of this happens in secre-

cy, due to the fact that people in these roles each open their eyes only when it is their turn. The players who have not been appointed to a special role become Townsfolk. The Townsfolk will usually awaken (open their eyes) when the “day” pe riod occurs to be greeted with a stor y by the Narrator about how one of the villagers was murdered by the Mafia. The Townsfolk will then discuss who they suspect is the Mafia, and hang one suspect per day round. With enough players and commitment, the game can easily become an intense experience where Townsfolk desperately plead “not guilty.” This game helps—indeed, prompts individuals to practice their speaking skills as their “lives” may be on the line throughout the game.

D I P L OM AC Y Rumored to be Henr y K issinger’s favorite game, “Diplomacy” is considered by some to be the greatest strategy game of all time. The traditional game is set in Europe, with each player picking a great power of the early 20th centur y. Each nation has a specific

number of armies and navies laid out in strategic positions at the game’s start. Rounds are divided between a discussion phase and an action phase. During the discussion phase, players communicate amongst themselves to negotiate how to best compromise on issues. At times, two players will walk into a private corner to discuss a plan to sabotage another player, while at other times players will not be trusted due to backstabbing too often. These discussion phases can take up to an hour or more, depending on the intensity of the game. After the phase is done, players then write orders for how their troops should move. It is in this action phase that players can observe whether their negotiating efforts paid off. “Diplomacy” is not for everyone. It can take up to two or three days to ﬁ nish a game, and at times friendships are destroyed as a result of backstabbing. With these three games, students can develop articulate speaking for the future. In a competitive market, developing any skill allows an advantage, one that should not be taken lightly.

Chicken soup for the immune system L INDSY OGAWA Opinions Editor

Flu season began just in time for Hawai‘i’s fi rst week of school, and runny-nosed students and faculty are running to doctors and drug stores for remedies. But despite recent 21st -century inventions that include fl ying cars and 3-D holograms, no one has found the cure for the common cold or fl u. Americans spent $3.6 billion on over-the-counter medicines in 2009, according to Mintel International, a market research fi rm. Americans have spent a few million more on prescription antibiotics. But research on over-thecounter (OTC) and prescribed medicines has found little proof of their effects on viral infections. “ There is no good evidence for or against the effective ness of OTC medicines in acute cough,” said a 2008 study pub lished in the Cochrane Review. The study obser ved adults and children who were given cough medicine and a placebo. The re sults were inconclusive. Multisymptom medicines have also gotten a bad rep in the past few years, with many saying a person should not take a cough syrup that claims to help a long

list of symptoms when all they have is a runny nose and cough. Both OTC and multisymptom medicines must be closely observed when distributed to children. Doctors advise that infants and children under two years old not be medicated unless advised by a professional because these medicines may result in lifethreatening side effects. Vitamin C, echinacea and zinc are also popular ways many try to prevent and end colds. The New England Journal of Medicine found that echinacea has no effect on rhinovirus, and that zinc found in nasal sprays may actually affect a person’s sense of smell. As for vitamin C, doctors say a person who consumes enough vitamin C daily may have a shorter cold, but it will not prevent one from catching a cold. Since vitamins are ineffective in preventing colds, researchers are unconvinced that Airborne, which consists of 17 vitamins, is effective. No actual studies have been performed on the product, in or outside of the company. And of course, there are antibiotics. When that pesky cold just won’t give, people run to the doctor to be prescribed something stronger than cough medicine and orange juice. But as with other ailments, antibiotics have no effect

on a common cold because antibiotics attack bacteria, not viruses. Antibiotics may prove to be the unpleasant ailment of all. They are expensive, and often come with nasty side effects like diarrhea, yeast infections in women and rashes. So what can we do to knock the stuffi ng out of a cold? First of all, to prevent colds, common advice still holds true. Getting vaccinated for the fl u, frequently washing your hands with soap, exercising and getting enough sleep will help build up the average person’s immunity from colds. Nasal sprays, while they do not shorten the duration of a cold, can shrink blood vessels, relieving a stuffy nose. Acetaminophen and ibuprofen can reduce fevers and body aches. Rinsing your nose with saline, using a humidifier and drinking liquids can help to break up mucus. And of course, there is chicken soup, which has been proven to help reduce symptoms for colds.

TSA checking out our bibadees E THAN WARREN PORTER Staff Columnist

Aloha, readers! Welcome back to a new semester and a whole new bunch of knots in my bibadees. Like many students, I traveled during this past break. In Hawai‘i, traveling means flying. Since the demise of the Superferry, even going to a neighbor island means packing your suitcases, asking your cousin for a ride to the airport, and hopping on a plane to your destination. But something

new was added to the hustle and bustle of air travel this season. While a majority of flyers will go through the standard take-offyou r - shoes - a nd -wa l k- t h rough the-beeping-metal detector routine, some 10 to 20 percent of travelers are now “randomly selected for additional screening.” I happen to be a frequent “random” person, having been “randomly selected” the last ﬁ ve ﬂ ights I have been on. A few years ago, additional screening meant security would

unzip and go through my luggage after it went through the X-ray. On my trip this break, before both of my flights, I was given the choice to go through a full-body scanner or have an officer pat me down. The full-body scanner peers through clothing to see what a passenger may be hiding. Using millimeter wave technology, it produces an image of the passenger nude. There is still speculation on how harmful the waves are to the human body. The alternative to going through the body scanner is to have a Transportation Security Administration officer pat you down. The officer runs his hand over every surface of the passenger’s body and then has his gloves wiped and scanned for potentially dangerous chemicals. This includes running the hands in the waistband, on the chest

and up the inseam to the groin. As I stood in line, getting ready for my second feel-up in one trip, I looked around at the rest of 10 to 20 percent random travelers who had been herded away from the rest of the crowd. There were whole families, some with young children, scared and looking for guidance from one another. Fathers were consoling their families, telling them it was just a quick picture. I wondered how they felt about the TSA ofﬁcers looking at their wives naked. I wondered how they would feel if their children got cancer from that “quick picture.” When our line ran out of bins for the X-ray, a man grabbed a bin from another line. “You put that back,” yelled a TSA ofﬁ cer, as if she were addressing a prisoner. What happened to innocent until proven guilty?

Rainbow Wahine senior Stephanie De Lima was the WAC Diver of the Year in 2010. F U L L O F MOM E N T U M The Rainbow Warrior and Rainbow Wahine diving teams captured each event in a dualmeet against the University of Wisconsin last week. Senior Emma Friesen returned to the women’s diving team after taking a year off recovering from an injury. Friesen captured the women’s 1-meter diving event with a score of 282.6 and junior Daniella Nero captured the 3-meter title with a score of 310.3.

In 2008, Friesen won a national title at the NCA A Championships in the 1-meter. “Most of our women’s team is diving very well,” Brown said. “[Emma] is doing very well.” On the men’s side, junior Thomas Rugg captured both the 1-meter and 3-meter diving events with scores of 306.3 and 306.8. “Thomas has been improving his performances lately and will be battling [teammate] Douglas Cohen for top spots tomorrow,” Brown said.

ter dive with a 331.8 point total. Brown described many characteristics that he stresses for the success of his team. “[Divers need to have] talent, strength, bravery, agility, spatial awareness, consistency, determination, balance and lots of creativity,” he said.

Brown wants divers to get creative Hawai‘i hosts Rainbow Diving Invitational M ARC A R AK AKI Associate Sports Editor

The University of Hawai‘i men’s and women’s diving teams will focus on creativity this weekend in the Rainbow Diving Invitational. “We are using this meet to try a number of more difﬁ cult dives that the divers have not tried in meets yet,” diving head coach Michael Brown said. “It’s a good time to expand their repertoires.” The Invitational begins today at the Duke Kahanamoku

Aquatic Complex. The men’s and women’s 1-meter will begin at 2 p.m. and the 3-meter event will start at 3 p.m. Joining Hawai‘i in the field are Drury University and Colorado College. “ The teams competing in this meet are in Hawai‘i for their Christmas training,” Brown said. “Drury is the best Division II swimming and diving team in the country and Colorado College is a Division III school.” “It’s not a real even match, but last week we had some good competition from Notre Dame, Wisconsin and Harvard,” Brown continued.
