Warriors look to fold Cards JOEY R AMIREZ Associate Sports Editor

“Here’s to Hawai‘i’s victory! Here’s to each valiant one!”

This is how the University of Hawai‘i fo ot b a l l t e a m’s pract i c e ended Tu e s d a y – with the Warriors singing the “Co-Ed Fight Song” together. “ That’s our fight song, and I made them memorize it before we could eat dinner at [fall] camp,” said head coach Norm Chow.

CLIPPING CARDINALS Coming off of a bye week, the Warriors’ (0 -1, 0 - 0 Mountain West) only game experience thus far has been a 49 -10 loss at USC. As they make their home debut, they face a less heralded opponent than the current No. 2 Trojans.

Lamar (1-1, 0-0 Southland) was thrashed by Louisiana-Lafayette in its season opener by a score of 40-0. But a week later, the Cardinals responded by delivering their own 31-0 beat down against Prairie View A&M. “We’re just treating them like another team and giving them the respect they deserve, but mainly we’re just focusing on what we’re doing,” said Harding. “Everyone’s been waiting to get back on the field and play another game. We’re ready to go and can’t wait to put some points up on the board.”

The Warriors will get its first chance at playing at A loha Stadium this season tomorrow against Lamar. K ickoff is set for 6 p.m.

“We can’t wait to play in front of the home crowd,” said sophomore receiver Scott Harding.

“Hopefully we get a ton of students there, which could make a huge difference for us. They’re right behind us and will make a hell of a lot of noise for us. We hope we put on a show for them and get a win.”

sion teams like Hawai‘i, junior quarterback Sean Schroeder, who spent three years at Duke before transferring to UH, and the rest of the team refuses to treat them as such. “ We [Duke] lost two times to FCS schools [Richmond in 2009 and 2011] so we don’t take any opponent lightly,” said Schroeder.

“I don’t care if they’re in the FCS or whatever. It’s really about us.

Coach always preaches that it’s about us doing the right things and if we’re able to move forward and do the right things then good things should take care of themselves.”

FBS teams have fallen to FCS opponents eight times in two weeks so far in the season. This includes fellow Mountain West Conference members Colorado State (22-7 vs.

North Dakota State) and UNLV (1714 vs. Northern Arizona).

In comparison, only two FBS schools have lost against FCS teams during the first two weeks of last year.

“I’m not concerned about that; I’m concerned about our team [and] making sure we’re ready to play,” Chow said. “Everybody in college football has a good program. That’s not the reason we’re going to try to get ready. We’re trying to get ready for us.”

As for the Warriors, they have not lost to an FCS opponent since 2004 (35-28 vs. then-FCS Florida Atlantic) and have won 10 of their last 11 games against FCS schools.

“It’s pretty clear that there’s some good sides in the lower division,” said Harding. “We’re not taking Lamar lightly whatsoever.”

In one room, a female student reported that her and her roommate’s laptops had been stolen from their desks. In the other room, a male student reported that his laptop had been stolen from his desk. Both incidents involved the suspect entering by cutting a vertical slit through a locked screen window. The case was referred to Student Housing Services.

Humanitarians return home CAITLIN K ELLY Associate News Editor

Nine students and faculty members from the University of Hawai‘i at M ā noa’s nursing and engineering programs have arrived home after participating in Pacific Partnership 2012, the largest humanitarian mission in the Asia-Pacific region.

This partnership has been put on by the United States Navy since 2004, following the Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami.

The U.S. Naval Ship Mercy, a Military Sealift Command hospital ship, carried military and civilian members who were responsible for providing aid to Indonesia, the Philippines, Cambodia and Vietnam. It docked in Hawai‘i on Sept.

2 and will return to home port in San Diego on Sept. 14.

“We were part of the NGO [non-governmental organization] group so we were the volunteers that had all kinds of faith-based charities, we had medical-based charities that came on board, and then we had all the people from the host nations: patients, doctors, and nurses that were coming to learn from our experts on board,” said school of nursing and dental hygiene instructor Gary Glauberman. “So it’s just like a fl oating United Nations of

people all there to help out on this humanitarian mission.”

FA S T J O B S Four faculty members and three nursing students from UH M ā noa were responsible for education outreach by providing information about hand-washing techniques and practices of public health through conferences.

Two graduate engineering students partnered with the Construction Battalion to work on basic infrastructure projects, such as the building and renovation of medical clinics and schools. Water filtration was also a large part of the project, as the engineers worked to construct slow sand water filters, which are a more effective way of purifying water from natural sources.

The UH members had to complete their projects in a short time, as the ship was in port at each country for about two weeks.

“It seems like the things we were doing was go in, help do something, then leave and you don’t get to check back on them,” said environmental engineering graduate student Gabriel El-Swaify. “You don’t know if they’re adapting the principles you taught them.”

Civil and environmental engineering graduate student Monique Wheeler agreed, saying, “It was in and out in every single port and when you’re focusing on water, that’s kind of impossible; you need a lot more time.”

Participants found the time constraints frustrating but saw it as a chance to grow. “I learned a lot about cross-cultural exchange, I learned a lot about being patient and waiting and, if things don’t go according to plan, just being flexible,” El-Swaify said.

Though their visit was brief, it was enough to open participants’ eyes. Glauberman explained, “[The health professionals were] working in such low-resource environments; it’s difficult for them to do the things they know how to do without the supplies they need, the money they need and the facilities they need. They’re very highly trained; it’s just hard for them to do their job.”

Expand your artistic horizons at M.I.A. JOSEPH H AN Staff Writer People often have artistic and creative needs to express that go suppressed. Seeking to release that pressure, the M.I.A. Art & Literary Series is an open and welcoming place without boundaries to creativity, a venue where people can inspire or entertain in surprising ways and expect the same in return. The series returns on Sept. 17 at 7:30 p.m. at The Fresh Café.

“If you’re looking for something different, or you want to get to know your community a little better, people should embrace our contemporary culture here,” said Jaimie Gusman, director of the series and Ph.D. candidate in English at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa.

P E R F O R M E R S F ROM A L L OV E R

LEVI VILORIA / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Performers at the Sept. 17 event include Lucie Lynch, Andy Godefroy, Julia Wieting and Keala Francis.

According to the Mixing Innovative Arts website, the series works to bridge the gap between the academic and artistic community. The event is open to anyone who wants to write.

“Individuals are coming out from different kinds of communities and sharing their work,” Gusman said.

International, national and local artists gather in a collaborative environment, learn how to write through various writing exercises and impart different forms of art – including poetry, fiction, music and performance, among others – to receptive and interested people.

According to Gusman, audiences get pumped when work is performed in such a way as to grab attention and impart life. Participants take the stage and read their work – their performance being just as important as the content itself.

BIG DREAMS Since its 2008 start at Mercury Bar at Chinatown – when only a handful of people would show up – M.I.A. has increased in size and merit. It has been voted best literary event for the second year in a row by Honolulu Weekly readers – and Gusman anticipates that it will evolve even further.

Gusman hopes that the series will transition into being non-profit.

“It wouldn’t be just an event series or just be workshops. My big dream is to give Honolulu a place: a literary house to come to learn things, and go to readings and be exposed to the

different things that people in our community are doing.”

“Since Jaimie Gusman organized M.I.A ., the literary scene has become more vibrant and more available to the community,” said graduate student Keala Dickhens, who is performing at the next event, in an email interview.

Dickhens continued, “I think the word ‘literary’ can be off-putting or sound specific to a ‘high-brow’ or academic audience. What M.I.A. does is show that ‘literary’ is community-based, living from the voices that we hear every day with our friends and family.”

“We are a community of artists that have no boundaries.” Gusman said.

“Whoever you are, you’re welcome.”

Waste not: Americans must rethink their lifestyle R AFAE AFAEL BERGSTROM Contri Contributing Writer

A Natural Resource Ecology and Managem Management research te team tackled a taboo subs ject recently, deciphering cipher c on n ne c tions betw between a rapidly expandexpaanding i human human population l ti and d clili mate change.

Solutions olutions often appeared ared to be more regionally dependent than global.

W hilee the

growing number of people on the earth affects the planet, the impact and necessar y changes var y for each continent, countr y, city or even the individual.

In the United States, where birth rates have mostly stabilized, the greatest contributor to climate change is our religion of consumption: Americans overuse everything from processed foods to throw-away electronics, oil and more.

Studies show that we would need five Earths’ Earths worth of resources to support our o production of – aand addiction to – things if the t he entire human hum man population consumed at U.S. levels. levels .

You might protest that China or India far outpace our population growth, and that their use of coal and accelerating consumerism is more threatening, but considering that we import their cheap goods and rely on their lenient environmental standards, the “I know you are. But what am I” excuse is a childish cop-out.

If the U.S. wants to claim greatness, it’s time to start acting like responsible adults and lead by example with educated restraint over greed and desire.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Media’s idea of a “perfect woman” existing in the world concerns me. There are many variations of women, and the individualism of a woman needs to be the proclamation of beauty. It is unfair for women to have to keep up with these unrealistic terms of beauty that will forever change if left in the hands of the media.

Undoubtedly, many women look to the media for justification regarding their appearance. Rather than the media uplifting one theme of women, the media should celebrate all women. There is no such thing as longevity in beauty; rather, it is what exists within that will keep you forever beautiful. In the immediate future, I would like to see women of various cultures, economic standing, age and sex as powerful examples of beauty in mainstream media.

By building the “perfect woman,” you’re steadily breaking us down and sending a message that we will never be enough. Remember beauty comes in all different shapes and sizes, so be careful of what you leave out of the equation.

ing urban design with efficient mass transit, green building and energy technology, stronger policies to compel lifestyle changes, and an environmentally educated public infused with a respect for tomorrow.

In developing African nations like Niger, fertility rates are as high as 7.5 children. Their material consumption is minimal, but as these developing countries seek firstworld living standards, the burdens of development on already scarce natural resources will be exacerbated. Solutions on this scale might focus on women’s education –concerning birth control and family fa planning – and empowerment.

Regional differences aside, as the ultimate solution as we surge towards 10 billion Homosapiens on the pl planet lanet is complicated.

Should governments dictate family size like China has in the past? Should we form a global posse to shut down McDonalds?

Should we expect that our technological genius will bail us out of this predicament?

Awareness is a beginning.

The next step is understanding that no matter where you live, with this many people already here, your small-scale actions have large-scale consequences.

So bring your own bags to the grocer y store and look peo ple in the eye, because this isn’t a partisan issue to be squabbled about by elitist congressman– it ’s a global issue of humanity and the finite resources that sustain us.

Doing it the Harding way FAR FFA A R FFROM HOME

TY L ER I SONO Staff Writer

NIK SEU / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Sophomore wide receiver Scott Harding caught three passes for 43 yards and a touchdown in UH’s 49-10 loss to USC.

Few can claim to be as versatile to the Warrior football team as Scott Harding. The Australianbor n sophomore played four dif ferent positions during the Warriors season opener at USC. Harding returned punts, kicked punts and received Hawai‘i’s lone touchdown pass from quarterback Sean Schroeder.

“Scott ran a great route – set it up perfectly, stuck the safety and the of fensive line of fered great protection, and it was easy to get it in there,” said Schroeder.

Harding proved to be the Swiss army knife of the Warrior offense.

“He is an awfully talented young man and he can handle a lot of dif ferent positions, and we need that versatility,” said head coach Norm Chow.

H Hard Harding grew up in Brisbane, Austraalia and graduated from Australia, Angliccan Church Grammar School.

yards. Harding also played slot receiver against UC Davis last season, one of many positions that he plays this season.

“I feel like I learned a lot last year and especially this fall and spring training camps,” said Harding. “I’ve taken it all on board and the coaches asked me to do the four positions, and I’m really loving it.”

With the suspension of normal starting punter Alex Dunnachie from a DUI arrest over the summer, Harding has taken up the role of punter as well. He demonstrated his versatility by kicking with both the right and left leg.

“I’m absolutely loving the responsibility I have to the team now,” said Harding. “There is so many ways I can [influence] the game and I love that.”

Although Hawai‘i fell in its opener, he was happy about scoring a touchdown.

“I figure it was a great thing for the whole team and the whole of Hawai‘i ‘cause it was the first touchdown of the year,” said Harding.

“It was a great drive from past the 20 [yard line] and we drove it all the way up and finished it with a touchdown. The team couldn’t have been happier and showed the fans here in Hawai‘i that we have a good football team here, that we can compete and [that we] can compete with some of the best players.

“On a personal level, I’m going to keep doing what I’m doing with the four positions until they tell me to stop. I know our punter Alex Dunnachie will be back in a few weeks’ time, so he will take the punting back and take some weight off my shoulders. I hope to score a few more touchdowns, keep returning those punt returns and help the team in any way I can.”

Chow reaching out for student support M ARC A RAKAKI Sports Editor “ This is what the university is for – it’s for the student body,” head coach Norm Chow said. “We are trying to get everybody out. I honestly know that fans will support a good football team and we gotta put a product out on the field that they can be proud of.”

The team’s product is yet to be known, but the university is working to get the awareness of the football team out to the student population.

Throughout the week, the university has conducted two pep rallies – at the Gateway Cafeteria as well as Campus Center – and other initiatives to increase student attendance for this weekend’s home opener against Lamar.

There was a noticeable decrease in student attendance at last season’s football games. Hawai‘i’s opener against Colorado brought in 2,144 students while the Warriors’ Thanksgiving weekend game against Tulane brought in 224 students.

For junior quarterback and Duke transfer Sean Schroeder, he’s seen a trend in other schools with higher student attendance.

“It starts when the student body starts to buy in to the team,” Schroeder said. “ Then I think we need to reciprocate that. We’re very thankful for all the support that we get.”
