‘Restore the light’ with Brown Bags for Diversity K IM CLARK News Editor The Center on Disability Studies will kick off Brown Bags for Diversity at 12:30 p.m. today in the Architecture Building Auditorium. Brown Bags for Diversity is a festival that will showcase award-winning films today, Oct. 12 and Nov. 9. There will also be a speaker on Nov. 30. A discussion will follow each event. “What we are trying to do with this Brown Bag series is really to look at disability as a form of a diversity and to really expand the idea of what diversity is, to raise awareness about diversity issues from around the world,” said CDS special projects coordinator Chamaine Crockett.
E D U C AT I O N A L F I L M S Today’s fi lm is “Restoring the Light,” about a doctor who travels to Chinese villages to bring healthcare to the disabled. “Who Cares About Kelsey” will be shown Oct. 12, and it is about a young woman’s challenges throughout high school. The final film of the series, “ The Glass House,” shares the story of four girls in a rehabilitation center in Iran and will be shown Nov. 9. “They [the fi lms] portray disabilities from not just one point of view, but from many, so
it’s not just an academic talking about disabilities or an advocate talking about disabilities, there’s both,” said CDS academic and educational specialist Samantha Siscon. The Brown Bag series will conclude with a lecture about how to make the university accessible for all, Crockett said.
R A I S I N G AWA R E N E S S Crockett said the festival is meant to educate people and that many are unaware of issues because they often do not have the opportunity to interact with those with disabilities. “Our aim is to raise awareness, to build solidarity, and to really increase understanding of what diversity means,” Crockett said. “Diversity is beautiful – the concept is a beautiful thing –but 80 percent of persons with disabilities just in the U.S. alone live in abject poverty.” The Center on Disability Studies was established in 1988 and is a member of the Association of University Centers on Disability, which “focuses on education, research, and service activities which impact upon the quality of life of persons with disabilities in each state,” according to its website.
“Restoring Restoring the Light” Light focuses on Dr. Zhang Xubin, who runs a non-profit mobile eye clinic in China. COURTESY OF SAMANTHA SISCON

News Spring 2013 MA¯NOA UNDERGRADUATE POLITICAL INTERNSHIP PROGRAM Open to full-time UHM Juniors & Seniors
„
The Ma¯noa Political Internship Program was an integral part of my interest in law. Interning during the passage of Hawaii’s civil unions bill and helping deputies prepare their cases for trial provided a degree of insight into the creation and enforcement of laws that I couldn’t have gained in the classroom. It truly was a unique experience that I would recommend to all students. -Davin Aoyagi, Ka Leo Editor in Chief Intern for Hawaii State Legislative Internship & Prosecutor’s Office Internship

Warriors on the hunt M ARC A R AK AKI Sports Editor
The Warrior football team will begin its fi rst season in the Mountain West Conference against an old foe. Hawai‘i (1-1) welcomes former Western Athletic Conference rival Nevada (2-1) back into town this weekend. Wolf Pack head coach Chris Ault returns, featuring a unique offensive style. The pistol offense features the quarterback behind the center in a modified shotgun formation where the running back is directly behind the quarterback. “It’s always hard when you face an option-type team because a sign that they do so well with their offensive line is they get off the ball and they create space,” Warrior defensive coordinator Thom Kaumeyer said. “The pistol [offense] is similar to the option in that they’re reading certain things.” The Warrior defense must stop Nevada’s sophomore quarterback Cody Fajardo, who averages 246 yards passing per game and 116.3 yards rushing per game. “We’re going to try to do some things to eliminate the many options that they have,” Kaumeyer said. “Obviously we’re going to try and pressure some, play a lot of coverage. [We’re trying to] eliminate explosive plays. That’s going to be our attitude for the most part – you don’t want to give up two play touchdowns.” “It’s the agile quarterback,” junior cornerback Mike Edwards said. “You gotta contain him, but more importantly, we still gotta play our keys. Our eyes gotta be at the right place at the right time.” Warrior senior defensive end Paipai Falemalu saw this Nevada attack in

Injured Warriors Three key Warriors sustained injuries during Hawai‘i’s defeat of Lamar. The most costly injury was to sophomore defensive lineman Moses Samia. Samia has a torn right ACL and, according to head coach Norm Chow, will most likely be done for the season. “It’s a tough one for us,” Chow said. “That’s part of this crazy game we play and these guys are so big and strong nowadays that we need to close ranks and keep marching.” “We’re going to keep a three-man rotation with the inside guys, with [Siasau Matagiese], Haku [Correa], and [Geordon] Hanohano,” defensive coordinator Thom Kaumeyer said. “We’ll probably, at some point, move Tavita [Woodard] down there or Marcus Malepeai. And then we haven’t thrown out the idea to entertain Mike Andrade, who’s a freshman and possibly using him instead of redshirting. So we’ve got a few options.” Senior wide receiver Darius Bright also sustained a shoulder injury and sophomore running back Joey Iosefa sustained an ankle injury. Bright is expected to be out for a couple weeks, but Iosefa is expected to be available this week.

A slice of Paipai JOEY R AMIREZ Associate Sports Editor During his four years at Kahuku High School, Paipai Falemalu had won a state championship, been named an all-state selection twice, and was considered by most to be Hawai‘i’s top recruit. However, despite offers from mainland schools including California, Oregon State, and Washington, Falemalu chose to stay at the place he calls home. “I’ve always wanted to stay home and play football in front of my family and for the state of Hawai‘i,” said Falemalu. “I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to play all four years that I’ve been here, excluding my redshirt year, of course.”
K E Y P L AY E R The senior defensive end has found success in transitioning from his high school position of linebacker. Falemalu currently sits at 12th on the University of Hawai‘i’s career sacks list with 12.5. “I felt like I was just a freshman yesterday,” said Falemalu. “It’s been fun though. This year, so far, has been my favorite year.” Falemalu’s presence is felt when he brings down the quarterback, but he also makes an impact on his teammates’ performance. “Paipai is one smart heck of a D-end,” said junior cornerback Mike Edwards. “He can get off the edge fast, he’s tall, he’s lanky, and he gives us a lot of presence. As DBs, we’ve got a lot of confi dence having a guy like Paipai on the D-line.” This season, Falemalu has become the focal point of the Warriors’ defense – both on and off the field. He was named to Phil Steele’s All-Mountain West third team, selected to represent Hawai‘i at the 2012 Mountain West Football Media Day, and was chosen by his teammates to be team captain along with senior wide receiver Miah Ostrowski. “Personally, the guy can’t be any better,” said defensive coordinator Thom Kaumeyer. “He’s not just a good person – he’s got good leadership. He
demonstrates tr ates it on the field by what he does. Hee doesn’t go out there and talk a bunch. Hee doesn’t go out there and talk about how ow w good he is. He just goes out and plays yss well, and I think a lot of the team eaam respects that he doesn’t say saay much, but he does it byy his actions.” “It’s an extreme honor ho onor that I w was as elected a captain through my teamm-mates and a nd it wasn’t something om mething that the coaches appointed,” said Falemalu. “I rea ally respect ecct that and thank my teammates for electing in ng me as a leader.”

make him a rush guy, and [we] do some things to get him one-on-one. As a player, he’s been everything you want and everything we’ve heard about, so we’re extremely happy about that.” With his last season at UH unfolding, Falemalu has assumed greater personal responsibility and has expressed confi dence in his fellow Warriors. confidence “My personal goals [are] to just play the best I possibly can; try to stay in shape, stay injury-free, and just go out there and give it my all. You never know when it’s your last down,” said Falemalu. “I just want to keep playing for my teammates and be a playmaker. I feel that if we just continue to do what we’re doing – working hard in practice and showing up during the games – we’ll be a team to be reckoned with.”

Make an ‘a-green-ment’ CLAIRE BARROGA Contributing Writer
We as humans are obligated to protect the environment. At the most basic level of environmental awareness lies the simple and practical idea of recycling. Why can’t our university, with all its resources and manpower, place a few extra recycling bins at convenient and sensible locations on campus? Going green was, at one point, a goal for the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. The fi rst college of renewable and sustainable energy in Hawai‘i originated at the UH Mānoa campus. The university has received a grant to remodel Kuykendall Hall into a modern and efficient green building. Most current construction projects, from Gartley Hall to the recreational addition to Campus Center, are conducted with the idea of sustainability in mind. As a college that builds green, ignoring the option of recycling is silly. UH campuses on the neighbor islands prioritize recycling far more than UH Mānoa: For every trash receptacle that is placed on a campus, there is at least one recycling bin to accompany it. The UH Maui College is a leader in this move-
ment, setting up recycling bins wherever they made sense and posting newsletters encouraging students and faculty to recycle and protect the environment. It took a conscious effort to have recycling become part of a campus and island culture. Reducing waste means protecting native ecosystems and species from going extinct – an issue important to the state. Since Hawai‘i’s economy is driven by tourism, a selling point for the university is the notion of the paradise that we live in. This is not an environment that will remain beautiful if we are passive – we must make a conscious effort to maintain and preserve it. Recycling should be a daily task, but it will require the work and support of not only UH Mānoa administration, but also the students, who must focus on every opportunity to contribute to the cause. The university should create an example and lead the charge in protecting the environment. After all, we are working to build the greenest buildings and produce some of the best environmental lawyers around. We should use the practice of recycling to show our true aloha and do some honor to our school’s color.

Rethinking renovations SARAH NEAL Senior Staff Writer The renovated Campus Center is edging closer to completion. I’m excited to relax between classes in a redesigned courtyard, and it will be nice to have an updated recreation center that is more accessible than the current facilities available in lower campus. I know many of us have already taken advantage of the new Starbucks that opened up over the summer. Yet, as I sit in my classes, bombarded with construction noise, I can’t help but wonder if the priorities of the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s administration are mixed up.
R E PA I R S N E E D E D Every day I encounter carpets that haven’t been replaced in years, walls that cry out for a fresh coat of paint and ceilings with missing panels. We learn in classrooms with fl ickering fl uorescent light fi x-
tures that induce headaches and struggle to keep track of time in classrooms that feature broken or inaccurate clocks. We sit in desks that are falling apart, watching as broken desks gather in the back of classrooms. We stumble down uneven, pothole-ridden sidewalks and trip over curbs that need repainting. We’re cooled by air conditioning units that are rusting at the bottom and need ventilation maintenance. We watch as departments around campus lose their voicemail systems due to cost-cutting measures. We watch the list of available classes shrink as retiring professors are replaced with visiting professors and lecturers – if they are replaced at all. Each semester, I talk to students who have to remain in school longer than expected because a course they needed to graduate was full at their assigned registration time or not offered at all.
DAVID JORDAN / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
Campus Center renovations will cost an estimated $46.5 million in total. GET IT STRAIGHT These are things that prospective students care about when choosing where they will spend their four years of undergraduate education – and more, if they choose to get their post-graduate degrees from our school. UH Mānoa depends on high enrollment and out-of-state-student dollars, but the presentation of our campus borders on embarrassing; I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that some students discounted our campus due to the condition of some of our buildings. I’m not complaining about the millions

of dollars spent on what is sure to be a beautiful renovation, and it’s true that many other problems are going to be remedied in the near future. It’s also true that not every building is in such shabby shape, but for my English and ethnic studies degrees, I have spent most of my time in buildings that need serious attention. It would have been much more beneficial had the Board of Regents and the 2,500 students who petitioned for the Campus Center project addressed more pressing issues that directly affect the quality of our education before improving an already decent Campus Center.
