Conversation with the chancellor

Chancellor Virginia Hinshaw gives her thoughts on UH’s present and future K ELSEY A MOS News Editor

LAW OF THE BIKE LANE A free class teaches road safety and rules for cyclists

Chancellor Virginia Hinshaw met with Ka Leo editors and reporters in December to discuss a broad range of topics, from the athletic fee decisions of last summer to the growing importance of private funding during a period of declining state support.

Hinshaw, who is planning to step down from her position by the end of this school year, said momentum and sustainability are her main concerns for the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s future.

“People have just really transformed many activities and programs, and I like to give them credit for it and highlight it. ... Keeping that sense of momentum and movement and excitement is so critical, and if we don’t deal with the sustainability issue, there won’t be much reason for that excitement,” she said.

HOPES AND FEARS Looking back at her time in office, Hinshaw cited accreditation, the growth of a culture of partnering across schools and colleges, and the continuing struggle with updating facilities as a few of many milestones.

“I think UH Mānoa right now has tremendous momentum,” she said. “We’ve made a lot of progress in the last fi ve years.”

When asked about her hopes and fears for the future, she said, “I don’t want to lose that sense of momentum, and I want to maintain that sense of urgency about

GREENING UH On sustainability, Hinshaw spoke about how Hawai‘i is wellplaced to be a national leader in the green movement.

“We have to do it to preserve our environment, conserve our resources and become independent,”

Hinshaw said. “I would not like to see a reversal of that – that to me would be very disheartening.”

Her commitment to sustainability for UH Mānoa includes plans for photovoltaic systems, like those recently added to Sinclair, and a project to renovate Kuykendall Hall, which is currently in the planning stages and awaiting funding.

“We cannot go back, we must

Athletics and funding from front page

Andrew Itsuno in an article run

by Ka Leo last summer. Itsuno had claimed that the chancellor’s offi ce was uncooperative with the student-run athletic fee working group. He further claimed that Hinshaw waited for the members’ terms in offi ce to expire before making a decision about what was to be done with the fee money that was to be returned to students.

“I respect people’s perceptions because that, in their mind, is reality,” said Hinshaw in response. “I have a very different perception of that issue.”

In addition, she said she had to make a decision due to a limited time frame.

“In this case, there were many meetings about the athletic fee and I had a time frame … come to a resolution, give me recommendations from this group, by this date,” Hinshaw said.

She said she felt discussions had gone as far as they could, and that it fell to her to make a decision so that things could move forward.

Speaking about the issue, Hinshaw shared a little of her own leadership philosophy.

“You have to give folks ample opportunity to put their issues on the table, and then there’s some that simply probably aren’t going to be resolved,” she said. “And so there has to be a decision so people can go forward. … If you leave people in maybe land, that’s the worst place to be.”

She said she spent “a lot of time on that issue,” and thought “it was a very important step forward for a number of reasons,” listing increase in student participation and community and stabilizing the athletics department’s fi nancial situation as two such important reasons.

When asked about how much student input really goes into decision-making at UH Mānoa, Hinshaw responded, “I’m a big believer in student input because I think it really helps you make better decisions … and even though

the students may disagree with my decisions, I have the responsibility of explaining.”

She added that she includes student leaders in her Mānoa executive team meetings.

“Where I’d like for students to be more engaged – I’ve extended an invitation to have ... ASUH and GSO [Graduate Student Organization] leaders come in [to Mānoa executive team meetings] to give their priorities for the school year,” she said.

I M P O R TA N C E O F AT H L E T I C S When asked whether UH Mānoa can afford its current football program, Hinshaw responded that she is a “strong advocate for athletics.”

“They didn’t have athletics for women when I was growing up, so I come from a different history,” she said. “The reason I’m an advocate for athletics is because I have great respect for the lessons athletes learn and also fans learn: that you win and you lose and you keep on going. And to me, that’s the most important life lesson.”

She listed many of the benefits of athletics in general, including teaching discipline, bringing the community together, marketing the university, and attracting private donations for both athletics and academics.

“I always hope that 40,000 people will come to my virology lecture – and it’s really good – but I thought the chance was slim,” she joked.

She also said this is a way to connect with the community and engage it with the university. But there are challenges.

“Here, two of the fi nancial challenges are the fact that we don’t own a stadium and the fact that we should get more income from that stadium. ... Most institutions own their own stadium and they get their income. The second is we have a high travel cost,” she explained.

Even with these obstacles, Hinshaw expressed her belief that athletics is essential. “It’s a

more diffi cult situation here, but I think we can do it and I think it’s important to do,” she said.

P R I VAT E F U N D I N G

When asked about the trend toward private funding for public universities, which some fi nd troubling, Hinshaw explained her view that private giving is a good thing.

“If you look across the U.S. ... state funding has decreased enormously. It started on the mainland before it hit here as much, but we’ve certainly seen it the last three years,” she said.

The sources of funding are now tuition, research dollars (which are very specifically directed) and private funding. Because of her commitment to keeping tuition from rising so high as to prevent access to the university for most students, private funding is becoming more and more important.

“Private giving with no strings attached, I think, is a wonderful investment in our future. And most of these are scholarships, so they’re investments in students to research and pursue their careers. … These are gifts that will give us that margin of excellence for the future,” she said.

Hinshaw did not respond directly to the issue of funding from Monsanto, but she explained that private funding has to be carefully evaluated.

“I guess you could imagine some scenarios, and I’ve been in situations where we haven’t accepted a gift because it had strings attached to it,” Hinshaw said. “There are things you have to be very careful about. The foundation does a great job … we’re very attentive to that aspect.”

Hinshaw said that in a nostrings-attached situation, it is the institution, not the gift giver, that decides how funds will be spent.

“They [private donations] make a lot of activities possible that we aren’t going to have based on our general funding … having lost 26 percent in the last few years from the state,” she said.

Cycling through campus Starting this Saturday, the Hawai‘i Bicycling League will host Commuter Cycling 101, a safe cycling course that will be held at Moore Hall every weekend until April 29. According to Chad Taniguchi, executive director of HBL, this is the fi rst time these classes have been offered. They are free and will be taught by 15 University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa students certified by the League of American Bicyclists, which listed UH Mānoa as one of the nation’s most bikefriendly universities last March.

Daniel Alexander and John Yeh, project managers and recent UH Mānoa graduates, applied for and received $6,000 from the Student Athletic Fee Committee to help fund the course training and provide free bicycle light sets for all UH Mānoa students who sign up. But they’re not stopping there. “UH is the center of the activity, but we’re going to radiate out from there,” said Alexander.

HBL also received a $29,645 grant from the Department of Transportation. Over 175 prizes worth a total of $2,750 will be given away throughout the course. Along with the bicycle lights, the prizes will

‘Walk, Bike, Drive’ A one-hour course called “Walk, Bike, Drive” will be offered in late January to go hand in hand with Commuter Cycling 101. “Walk, Bike, Drive” is intended for pedestrians and drivers as well as bicyclists, focusing on the skills and knowledge necessary to sharing the road. The course will have “general education on how to keep yourself and other people safe,” said Alexander. For more information, go to www.hbl.org.

Aside from the obvious safety benefits, Taniguchi hopes the course will encourage more students to take a healthier route by riding bicycles. “Everything in life has risks; driving around in a car and not exercising also has risks,” he said, “Statistics show that the rate of getting heart disease is about 10 times the rate of getting killed in a bike crash.” That being said, he urges all cyclists to remember to wear a helmet.

The two-hour course will begin inside a classroom, where instructors will teach basic rules such as lane positioning and safety checks.

Taniguchi explained that many cyclists hold the common misconception that they must ride at the right side of the lane at all times: “95 percent of people don’t know the law that as a cyclist, you have a right to ride in the middle of the road,” said Taniguchi. “The law (HRS291C-145) allows for your own safety to ride in the middle of the lane when it is too narrow.” Other rules of the road will

TREVOR Z AKOV Staff Writer The term “Gypsy” carries a very distinct and powerful connotation. For many people, the fi rst association linked with Gypsies is their nomadic lifestyle. Unfortunately, Gypsies have been unfairly stereotyped. Seemingly no amount of good press can remold the reputation of Gypsies, more correctly called the Roma people.

Numerous sources, in addition to modern DNA tests, have pinpointed the origins of the Roma people to Northwestern India. Roughly 1,000 years ago, the Roma migrated west because their homeland was raided by Muslim invaders. Over the years, the Roma migrated farther away from their homeland in search of a better life. Sadly, their arrival to each new land brought with it a whole new set of trials and hardships administered by local governing populations.

The Roma’s faced a truly medieval reception upon arriving in Eastern Europe. Immediately perceived as dark-skinned aliens, the Roma were enslaved throughout the Byzantine Empire.

Roma groups who ventured deeper into Europe over the next several hundred years faced growing hostility. Somewhat ironically, the region known today as Romania was notorious for its hostility toward the Roma people; Roma people were enslaved for over 500 years in this part of Europe (the practice was finally outlawed only in 1856).

Since their departure from the Indian Subcontinent 1,000 years ago, the Roma have always been in the crosshairs of governments of the lands they inhabit.

Some of the most heinous treatment infl icted upon Roma people includes the abduction of their children and physical disfi guration in order to make them easier

to identify – cutting off women’s ears and branding their skin, many times on their foreheads.

Roma groups in Europe continue to confront xenophobic dogmas. Hate crimes directed at Roma people continue to this day. Perhaps most despicable crimes occurred during World War II, when Axis governments carried out genocide plans that specifically targeted the Roma. Innumerable eyewitness accounts attest to executions, or to Roma people being enslaved and literally worked to death.

An estimated 200,000 to 1.5 million Roma died under Axis control. Their own version of the Holocaust, commonly referred to as the Porjamos (meaning destruction in some Romani dialects), is yet another dark chapter in Roma history. Unfortunately, this is either conveniently ignored or completely unheard of by most other people.

Today, Europe still appears medieval in its treatment of the Roma.

Most notable is French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s 2010 purging of over 300 Roma encampments throughout France. The camps were demolished, and hundreds of Roma people who had overstayed tourist visas were forced back to their homelands.

In Bulgaria, a conservative estimate suggests that as little as 5 percent of Bulgaria’s population is comprised of Roma people. Last year, ethnic violence erupted in several of Bulgaria’s cities after hate crimes were carried out on both sides between native Bulgarians and the local Roma communities, often linked to well-organized crime rings.

The Roma people have been marginalized ever since their exodus from India a millennium ago. It seems that they will continue to receive unequal treatment as long as misconceptions and ignorance precede them.

tical categories. The Rainbow Warriors lead Nevada in scoring (73.2-69.1), free throw percentage (.692-.635), field goal percentage (.445-.439) and rebounding (39.0-36.6).

“Now we go on the road, obviously, you’re trying to win two, you’re hoping for a split,” Arnold said. “It’s tough. We gotta get mentally strong now and then get prepared for two really tough road games.”

M ARC A R AK AKI Sports Editor

The emergence of post players Vander Joaquim and Joston Thomas as an offensive presence has excited head men’s basketball coach Gib Arnold.

Joaquim and Thomas scored more than half of Hawai‘i’s points Saturday night to give the Rainbow Warriors the 8269 win over San Jose State in their Western Athletic Conference opener.

“Those big guys came through,” Arnold said. “You look at that stat line between those guys: 47 points and 22 rebounds.

That’s a great night between your 4s and 5s. [I’m] proud of those guys. It was one of those nights where our normal shooters were shooting it well, but not lighting it up.”

Mature youth lead the way

With just four seniors and two juniors on a 22-man roster, Warrior volleyball ďŹ elds a young team.

And two of its youngest helped ďŹ ll the Warriors seven-man starting lineup against UC San Diego last weekend.

Freshmen Johann Timmer and JP Marks started on the outsides in place of former Warriors Joshua Walker, who used up his eligibility, and Jonas Umlauft, who returned to his native Germany.

In two matches, Timmer racked up 12 kills hitting .241. The Auckland, New Zealand, native also aided on the defensive end with 10 digs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to see him play that well because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been hurt and out most of the ďŹ rst semester,â&#x20AC;? head coach Charlie Wade said of Timmer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a nice jump, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always known heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a nice arm, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to see him play at a nice level.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Johann Timmer played huge amounts of beach [volleyball] and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been playing volleyball for-

ever â&#x20AC;&#x201C; like thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all he is,â&#x20AC;? senior middle hitter Jarrod Lofy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great volleyball player.â&#x20AC;?

Marks, a native of Schwerin, Germany, added 11 kills in two matches and three aces to go along with nine service errors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a good player,â&#x20AC;?

Wade said of Marks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s played at a high level â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a little neurotic from the service line, but he can ďŹ x that.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;JP has a great set of eyes,â&#x20AC;? Lofy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great player in general. And both of them, they may be freshmen, but that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re inexperienced. All that experience that they built up over the years will show down the road.â&#x20AC;?

Sophomore setter Sam Biscaro, who sets the offense, has a huge amount of trust in the two. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both [are] really good, really talented players,â&#x20AC;? Biscaro said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They just need a little bit of time to come to their own and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be really nice surprises for the remainder of their careers here.â&#x20AC;?

BA L A N C E D AT TAC K The presence of Timmer and

Marks on the outside, as well as sophomore newcomer Nick West in the middle, allows the Warriors to compete with a balanced attack to complement kill-leader Steven Hunt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From a middle position, if I start making kills or West starts making kills, that allows our pins to open up as the middle blocker commits with us. That makes it easier on everyone else,â&#x20AC;? Lofy said.

UP NEXT Timmer, Marks and the Warriors will take their 1-1 record into the 18th Outrigger Hotels Volleyball Invitational, tomorrow through Saturday. Hawaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i will play SpringďŹ eld tomorrow, Lewis on Friday and UCLA on Saturday.

All matches will begin at 7 p.m., and UH MÄ noa students will be admitted free with a validated ID. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have another week to prepare,â&#x20AC;? Lofy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we had crushed them tonight [Saturday], it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have exposed any ďŹ&#x201A; aws. This allows us to see whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wrong, what we can ďŹ x and where to make adjustments.â&#x20AC;?
