DAVID JORDAN / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
K IM CLARK News Editor On Monday, Sept. 24, the State Senate Special Committee on Accountability called University of Hawai‘i administrators and affiliated attorneys to an informational briefing regarding the failed Stevie Wonder concert. Individuals that were called into the briefing included Dennis Chong Kee, an attorney for the firm Cades Schutte LLP, Robert Katz, of Torkildson, Katz, Moore, Hetherington & Harris, UH System President M.R.C. Greenwood, former athletics director James Donovan and UH Board of Re-
gents Chair Eric Martinson. “ We want to get the information that has not been learned,” Sen. Sam Slom said in a phone inter view. “ W here is the $200,000 or more? W hy have we not gotten it back or will we? A re there other practices the university has engaged in? “This is neither a witch hunt or a white wash,” Slom said. “We have a great deal of respect for the great things the university has done, but these things have gone unattended for a while, and while the Senate does not want to micromanage the university, we have several responsibilities ourselves.” Slom said that appointing the

BOR and appropriating money to the university are among those responsibilities. UH Mānoa Chancellor Thomas Apple will be among the next set of witnesses, with Martinson and Greenwood returning, to testif y to the State Senate in a second hearing. Former Chancellor Virginia Hinshaw was asked to testif y, but she will be out of town during the meeting. Slom said the Senate has a Q& A from her stating Greenwood violated NCA A requirements by representing UH in the Mountain West Conference. Martinson was told to bring information regarding the
amount of money the failed concert is costing taxpayers to Tuesday’s meeting. “ We want to make sure ever yone is on the same page,” Slom said. “ There’s really no excuse for what happened. They’ve never wired cash money before.” DAVIN AOYAGI Editor in Chief contributed to this story The State Senate Special Committee on Accountability will hold its second hearing at 1 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 2, in Conference Room 211 at the State Capitol. A third hearing will take place on either Oct. 4 or Oct. 10.

R A L P H L AU R E N Ralph Lauren created bright and bold looks for spring. Many outfits emphasized f loral elements, solid-colored separates and vibrant striped patterns. Suprisingly, black dominated the rest of the collection. Femininity and masculinity were showcased with fitted tops and f lowing bottom dresses with f loral details and broad-shouldered blazers coupled with black ties. Almost every piece was accented with a black top hat or solid-colored beret and small scarves, incorporating European chic to the entire collection.

Designers Mark Badgley and James Mischka created an assortment of earthy and dream-like separates and dresses for their spring display. The inspiration behind their serene, floral-filled collection was the 1935 film adaptation of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” which captivated the designers and prompted them to create clothes influenced by Hippolyta and Hermia. There were ensembles of tulle, lace and sheer throughout the array of gowns and bustiers. Blush, ivory, and gold were reoccurring colors.
Oscar de la Renta showed off a diverse collection this year, putting out conservative yet chic pencil skirts and youthful rompers. The opening look had a touch of edginess with a bright latex top, but each look had a different element, whether it was intricate lace on a blouse or fl oral-detailed embellishment. The vibe of the show was fresh, as de la Renta showed his taste for colors in a palette that ranged from crimson red to eggshell white.
Kate and Laura Mulleavy took a very unconventional route for Fashion Week with a medieval-esque feel for their pieces and the essence of a couture warrior. The sister duo made each ensemble look like fashion armor: Strong geometric shapes were patterned throughout their floor-skimming skirts and oversized shirts. The high slits and the turtleneck shirts combined with tight bustiers were daring – but it worked.
CHRISTIAN SIRIANO Ballet was an influential factor in Christian Siriano’s readyto-wear collection. The “Project Runway” season four winner incorporated an aesthetic of light feminine pieces and sleek drapery. Unlike Siriano’s previous avant-garde collections, his current collection contains wearable tops, blazers and pants. Key colors were pastels of pink, blue and purple.
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

Donovan’s testimony suggests Regents violated policies A LEX BITTER Staff Writer Testimony from the State Senate hearing regarding the Stevie Wonder concert mishap suggests that the Board of Regents may have violated its own policies when assembling a hiring committee to replace former head football coach Greg McMackin in late 2011. The testimony, given by former athletic director Jim Donovan and BOR Chair Eric Martinson at Monday’s six-hour hearing, hints that the BOR was involved in selecting members of a search committee charged with fi nding McMackin’s successor – a role that is not permitted by the BOR’s bylaws.
D O N OVA N S P E A K S The first allusion to a violation came early in Donovan’s testimony as he described a meeting with University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Chancellor Thomas Apple about the renewal of his contract as athletic director. Donovan said he acknowledged that his conduct during the search for a new football coach may have affected his reputation among top UH administrators. “… I told him [Apple] on July 5, ‘I figure I may have irritated some people above me in the chain of command during the football search,’” Donovan said in response
to a question on from Sen. Donna Mercado Kim, chair of Special Committee on Accountability. Donovan an went on to sayy that, shortly y after the selection of a hiring ring committeee began, Martinson told him that the he group would consist of four our individuals – a decision n he opposed, since it compromised mpromised his responsibilities ities as athletic director. or. “I [was as supposed] to be responsible onsible for essentially the he search and making the he pick and I can’t even select anybody on the selection ection committee … I’m going to be dictated who they are … I was very upset about that,” Donovan elaborated. ated.
At that point, acting UH System President Linda Johnsrud told him that the selection committee would be limited to six individuals, and that Donovan should “stop pushing” for more appointees. “In every other selection [of a selection committee] that has ever been made … at the university, the athletic director picked the selection committee,” Donovan told the Special Committee, adding later that, even though he had spoken with other university faculty who advised him that the Regents’ action was outside of the board’s jurisdiction, he went along with the plan anyway.
ʻ YO U B E T T E R D O W H AT YO U ʼR E T O L D ʼ
“ They’re the Board of Regents, so you better do what you’re told,” Donovan said.
P O L I C Y RU L E S Under Chapter 1, Section 2 of the current BOR policy, the Board is responsible for university policy decisions, but they “must not concern themselves directly with the administration of the University, or individually or take part collectively, in administration.” That power is reserved for the president, vice presidents, chancellors, and other members of the university administration. After Donovan’s testimony, Kim pressed Martinson on whether he felt he was exempt from this policy. “I don’t believe so,” Martinson responded. Later, in defending the BOR’s use of power, he commented that, despite his concern over the Regents’ observance of this policy, it was only his responsibility to follow the regulations put forth. “You can only put the policies down. We just have to abide,” Martinson said.
After discussing the matter with BOR OR support staff, Donovan said aid that he was permitted to o add two of the three members that he had ad originally chosen en for the committee, mittee, though thee four appointed by PHOTOS BY DAVIN AOYAGI / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I the BOR would remain. Eric Martinson will hold his position as Board of Regents chair until his term ends in 2014.

Public relations criticized in Wonder hearing CAITLIN K ELLY Associate News Editor In the midst of the Stevie Wonder fiasco, the role of the university university’ss public relations team has been called into question. After a six-hour x-hour legislative hearing on Monday, Board ard of Regents Chair Eric Martinson expressed ressed his disapproval of the public relations ions team at the University
I think the execution and our public relations portrayed us in an unfavorable light. I think we handled that poorly.
FAC U LT Y A N A LY ZE U H PR T E A M Faculty in the UH Mānoa School of Communications had their own take on the issue. “[The public relations team at UH Mānoa is] particularly strong, I think, at telling the good news stories about the University of Hawai‘i,” said media ethics lecturer Peter Rosegg, who also serves as a senior spokesman at Hawaiian Electric Company, “But it may not be the best at dealing with crisis communications [and] helping to see this incident as the general community sees it, not as the administrators and insiders at the University of Hawai‘i see it.” Communications department chair Thomas Kelleher felt that the UH PR team may have also been underutilized throughout the Stevie Wonder fi asco. “I think utilizing PR people effectively would mean having them as decisions are made, rather than after decisions are made to try to basically just be reactive,” said Kelleher.
“All too often, what happens with public relations people [is that] their hands are kind of tied behind their backs because they don’t have a say in the management decisions.” Kelleher also commented on the Hawai‘i Hall press conference where former athletic director Jim Donovan and Stan Sheriff Arena manager Rich Sheriff were put on paid administrative leave. “I do recall … at the time it did seem like some of the media relations were
hasty and not particularly well thought out,” said Kelleher, “In general, it’s good to be open … That’s still what’s coming back as an issue now [for UH administrators].”

The second firm, Torkildson, Katz, Moore, Hetherington & Harris, was hired to redact sensitive information from the 57-page report produced by Cades and Schutte. Attorney Robert Katz was present at the hearing on behalf of Torkildson, Katz, Moore, Hetherington and Harris and presented the Senate committee redacted and un-redacted copies of the investigator’s report. “Dennis Chong Kee was hired to do a factfinding report. His purpose, his mission, his service was simply to find out what happened and report it. We were retained then, to advise the university on what should be done with that report … specifically … what should be made public,” said Katz.

thought a second fi rm was needed to redact documents from the fi rst. Sen. Donna Mercado Kim, chair of the Senate Committee on Accountability, however, felt that the redacting of the documents were obtrusive. “According to Senator Kim, redacting the names from the contracts was altering public documents that were intended to be public,” said Nitz.
We were retained then, to advise the university on what should be done with that report … specifically … what should be made public V I O L AT I N G S U N S H I N E L AW Nitz also stated that the two attorneys did not seem to be prepared for the briefing, as one of them appeared to have followed inadequate instruction and the other did not seem to know Hawai‘i law, specifically Act 92. Hawai‘i State Act 92 is the Sunshine Law, which requires state and county boards to “conduct meetings as openly as possible,” according to the Hawai‘i Office of Information Practices. During the hearing, Sen. L es Ihara Jr. questioned Katz regarding his knowledge of Act 92. “You know, or should know, that public records and public contracts and who the government, the state and the university contracts with, is public record. And yet you redacted these names off these public documents,” said Ihara.

JONATHAN C HIN Contributing Writer The Big West Conference season looms ahead for the Rainbow Wahine soccer team (5-3-2), but first they hit the road for a game against Cal State Bakersfield on Sept. 28 at 4 p.m. The match against CSUB will mark UH’s last non-conference game before making their longawaited re-entrance in the Big West Conference at 3 p.m. on Sept. 30 at Cal State Northridge. “Our plan was to win every game. Every pre-season game and every conference game,” said sophomore midfielder Krystal Pascua. The Roadrunners carry an overall record of 3-7-1, but the ‘Bows are not looking past their fi nal non-conference match. “What we’re trying to focus on is the fact that Bakersfield is a team that does not have a winning record,” said head coach Michele Nagamine. “But if you look at some of the teams they’ve played, they’ve played some really good teams. We’re expecting a good game.”
F O RG E T T H E N U M B E R S Following UH’s match against Baskersfield, CSUN (3-3-3) will welcome the ‘Bows in their fi rst conference game. The Matadors rank tied for last
in the Big West with just eight in nine games. However, junior goalkeeper Cynthia Jacobo makes up for it by leading the conference in save percentage (.910), goals against average (0.61), and shutouts (4). UH hopes that its conferenceleading offense will have enough firepower to best Jacobo. The ‘Bows lead the Big West in points averaged (5.20) and goals averaged (1.90). “I don’t think someone’s standing should dictate how they play on the field,” said senior goalkeeper Kanani Taaca. “I’ve played Northridge in my college career. I know how they play. They are a really good team, and I think we gotta come out firing all cylinders and show them what we got.” This road trip will be the second one this season for Hawai‘i. It also marks the first time UH will participate in the Big West Conference since 1985. Hawai‘i holds a record of 1-3 for road games, having dropped its last two against Washington State and Eastern Washington. “Like [women’s volleyball head] coach Dave Shoji said, ‘UH teams suck on the road’ and we are no different,” said Nagamine. “We struggled more than most of our sports on the road. We’re just gonna try and go up there, learn from our last road trip, and start the conference with a bang.”

UH, BYU take rivalry back to Provo JOEY R AMIREZ Associate Sports Editor Norm Chow may be the current head coach of the University of Hawai‘i football team, but there will always be a part of him that remains in Provo, Utah, with Brigham Young University. Chow began his coaching ascent at BYU. In 1973, he began his career as a graduate assistant and worked his way through the ranks until he became the team’s offensive coordinator in 1996. Four years later, he would leave BYU for the same position at North Carolina State. Despite spending nearly three decades with the Cougars, the Warrior’s head coach does not plan on making his return to Provo an emotional one. “Well, a lot has gone on since then. This is the fourth team I’m going back with, so that part doesn’t mean much,” said Chow. “But that part is over with now. I know very few people there. I was of a different era, if you will.”

a record of 244-91-3, which included a 17-4 mark against rival Hawai‘i. Now, Chow is on the opposite sideline, leading a UH team that trails in the all-time series 20-8. Both teams are hungry for a win as they square off at 2 p.m. HST today. BYU (2-2) is hurting from back-to-back losses to Utah (24-21) and No. 24 Boise State (76). Meanwhile, Hawai‘i (1-2, 0-1 Mountain West) hopes to rebound after allowing a school home record in its 69-24 loss to Nevada. “We’ve got a tough opponent this week,” said junior quarterback Sean Schroeder, who was recently named co-offensive captain by Chow. “We can’t afford to live in the past and we’re moving on. We’re focusing on BYU 100 percent.” One of the few silver linings in last week’s loss was junior cornerback Mike Edwards, whose 390 kick return yards place him second-most in the country this season. Edwards, who leads the team with 14 tackles, was also named a captain this week by Chow. “[We have been] coming out and practicing hard every day and putting it behind us,” said Edwards. “Last week is done, so I’m not even thinking about that game anymore. We just want to rebound and continue to work hard and do what we do: Execute and listen to our coaches.” Meanwhile, it is a mystery as to whom the Cougars are going to start at
quarterback. Head coach Bronco Mendenhall plans to make a game-time decision on whether to go with senior Riley Nelson, who has been nursing a back injury, or freshman Taysom Hill. “In order for us to go out there and be on the field and execute at our highest level, we just go to do what we do. And doing what we do just means practicing hard, working hard, [and] going out there and executing – no matter which quarterback’s out on the field.” said Edwards. “Honestly, they’re both pretty good quarterbacks. We prepare the same way each week. We can go out there and get the job done.”

Last season BYU and UH played for the fi rst time since 2002, and the Cougars came out on top 41-20 in Honolulu. But the Warriors are not using the sting of last year’s defeat as motivation. “It’s just like any other game,” said senior wide receiver Jeremiah Ostrowski. “Coach always says ‘Everybody’s faceless names’ so that’s the way we got to approach it.” Although Hawai‘i has given BY U problems in the past, something they have never done is win in Provo. Dating back to 1951, the Cougars have won all eight games in Utah by an average score of 34-18. “I honestly believe that we can do it,” said Edwards. “It’s been a great week in practice. Our coaches still believe in us [and] we still believe in each other. Not only that, but we’ve picked it up a step. Don’t be surprised if we go up there and get the fi rst win in Provo.”
