Student Housing Services address sexual assaults Two recent sexual assault incidents in the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s student housing complexes have raised questions about the safety of the university’s dorms and apartments and the ability of current security measures to prevent assaults in student housing. The assaults, which occurred within a week of each other, were both reported to Campus Security three to four days after they were alleged to have happened. In one case, a student claimed to have been assaulted by multiple perpetrators on the evening of Sept. 22 while in a student housing apartment. The other, which occurred in an on-campus residence hall in the early morning hours of Sept. 29, is reported to have involved a non-student perpetrator, according to information released by CS. In both cases, reports were filed with the Honolulu Police Department.
S T U D E N T H O U S I N G SA F E? While sex offenses on UH Mānoa’s campus are not limited to student housing, the majority of such incidents in the last few years have occurred in the dorm and apartment complexes. According to a recent report compiled by CS, 17 out of the 25 forcible sex offenses reported to CS from 2009 to 2011 occurred in the dorms or other residential facilities on campus. Bryson Yee, a sophomore physics major and resident of Frear Hall, said his dorm appears to be a safe, secure place. Citing the use of security cameras in the communal areas of Frear and the building’s key card entry system, Yee explained that the multiple layers of security present do put him at ease.
Kitchen
At the same time, though, he questioned just how effective these measures are in preventing assaults of any kind. “It’s still not difficult at all for one to simply walk into the building and get to any floor with the help of some courteous strangers,” Yee said. Meghan Higa, a freshman and resident at Hale Aloha ‘Ilima, agreed. The zoology major acknowledged that getting into her dorm is easy for both non-students and students who live in other dorms. Many residents are courteous, she observed, and are likely to hold the door open for those trying to get in. She added that, on some occasions, she has even seen resident advisers managing the front desk at ‘Ilima unlock the door for non-residents. Still, Higa said she feels safe living in her residence hall. “In general, there are lots of people around if something happens … I feel pretty safe,” she explained.
P E O P L E YO U M AY K N OW Associate Director of Housing Nick Sweeton said one factor makes preventing sexual assaults in the dorms particularly challenging. “The vast majority [of sex assaults] are occurring between people who know each other. It’s rare that they occur between strangers,” he said. With the stereotypical “stranger jumping out of the bushes” a true anomaly, Sweeton said there is a limit to how useful traditional security measures in the dorms are in preventing sexual assaults, since the victims themselves are often the ones that bring the would-be perpetrators into the residence halls. Sweeton also maintained that, while assaults such as the two most recent ones may lead some to question the safety of the university’s dorms or

apartments, students are actually safer living on campus than in privately owned facilities. The owners or residents of off-campus housing complexes are not obligated to report or publicize any assaults that occur on their property, according to Sweeton, who pointed out that CS and Student Housing Services are required to follow up on any report of an assault that they receive, including notifying housing residents and the public. For that reason, he said it sometimes seems “that the issue [assaults] is more prevalent on campus than off.” In preventing those incidents that do occur, though, Sweeton said he believes that the most effective tool is the education of residents, especially with regard to the use of alcohol, something he thinks is a key factor in many sexual assaults. “Students should know their limits, and be around people [they] trust,” he said.
ʻA S S AU LT S A R E P R E V E N TA B L E ʼ Sweeton acknowledged that more information still needs to be gathered about how safe students feel in student housing complexes in order to fully address the concerns of students about issues including the risk of sexual assaults. To that end, he said SHS will be conducting an online assessment for students to complete about how safe they feel living in their dorm or apartment complex. The assessment will be available online from Oct. 28 to Nov. 6. Sweeton said he hopes the survey will allow SHS to direct its future education efforts toward the students who feel the least secure in their housing. “We want to get information. [These] assaults are preventable if certain steps are followed,” he said.

SOESTkeeps SOEST keeps CAITLIN K ELLY Associate News Editor The fine line between a joke and sexual harassment is easily blurred, and the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology is out to make it clearer. “We want to get at the root cause and we want to stop sexual harassment before it may begin,” said SOEST Associate Dean of Academic A ffairs Charles “Chip” Fletcher. SOEST is one department that is taking part in sexual harassment and bullying training on campus. The training is mandatory for faculty, staff and students within the college and is expected to take a full year to be completed. Other departments have also taken part in this training, including the college of social sciences and the college of arts and humanities.
KNOWLEDGE IS KEY
According to Fletcher, the training has been in the works for a few years. While he acknowledged that there are instances of sexual harassment at the university and in SOEST, the training is not in reaction to a particular incident. “It’s taken three years before we’re fi nally able to do this, so the idea that this training is in reaction to any particular case of sexual harassment just doesn’t fit with the history. It’s something that the dean’s office has wanted to do for many years,” he explained. Gender Equity Specialist Jennifer Rose has already conducted training for some departments in SOEST. Her sessions gave information about resources available to victims and required participants to think of what they would do in hypothetical situations of sexual harassment.

harassment at bay There have been mixed reactions on the training, as it does occur at a hectic time of the year for many students. “It was an hour and a half on a Friday … it was a little bit inconvenient, but at least this way it makes our entire department look really good because our whole SOES T college is going,” said K imberley Mayfield, a senior in the global environmental science program.
ʻFOR STUDENTSʼ PROTECTIONʼ Oceanography Department Specialist and Undergraduate Chair Jane Schoonmaker responded to inquiries through a mass e-mail sent out to the department. “Harassment, bullying, intimidation and behaviors like that aren’t exclusively at the university. So that’s what I tried to explain; it’s really for students’ protection,” she said.
O
Schoonmaker has been a professor at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa for 31 years and has since seen a change in response to sexual harassment. “I’m in a field that’s dominated by men. So in many years of my career, there have been very few other women faculty or in the student population. And frankly, years ago we kind of just used to roll our eyes and say ‘Oh God, there he goes again,’ and ignore it.” Though she has never personally experienced a severe case of sexual harassment, Schoonmaker explained that people have made inappropriate comments towards her. However, she’s observed a change in people’s reactions to them. “I think in our culture it’s become more of an issue that people recognize and are just really willing to talk about,” Schoonmaker explained.

Sansone agreed, saying, “I’ve been in universities for 40 years, and I will say that the attitude on campuses is so much better these days. The defi nition of what is acceptable and what isn’t acceptable is much clearer. The tolerance level for unacceptable behavior is far stricter than it ever used to be.”
SINCE SANDUSKY
Faculty at UH Mānoa cite recent nationwide events as an additional reason for action, one of them being the recent Jerry Sandusky trial. Sandusky served as an assistant football coach at Penn State, and was arrested on charges of sexually abusing eight boys across a 15 -year pe riod. The U.S. Department of Education also reiterated the importance of Title I X in a 2011 dear colleague letter. Title I X is a law that people generally associate with gender equity in school athletics programs, but it covers any type of sexual harassment or discrimination. “Ever since the Penn State episode happened, university campuses across the country are critically aware of the need for all members of their community to have training with regard to recognizing what sexual harassment is, knowing what to do if you witness it, knowing what to do if you have been a victim,” Fletcher explained.
Resources UH Mā noa does not tolerate sexual harassment and retaliation against individuals who report it. The complete policy can be found at hawaii.edu/offices/eeo/policies. php?policy=sexual_harassment. If students feel they have become victims of sexual harassment, they can contact Gender Equity Specialist Jennifer Rose in QLC 210.

Dir. Alexander Bocchieri
Ten films by students of the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s Academy for Creative Media will screen during the Hawai‘i International Film Festival’s ACM Night tomorrow at 6:15 p.m. Check out these words from some of the student-directors regarding their films and filmmaking.
ʻE M I LY AT 2 :30 ʼ Dir. Kristin Kouke
Niko Rivas plays Emily in “Emily at 2:30,” a woman used to routine and solitude. COURTESY OF KRISTIN KOUKE
How did you get the idea for this film? This film was actually an extension of a much shorter film I had completed the semester before. I had a very specific image of how I wanted the film to open, and what visual motifs I had wanted to experiment with, and the story just grew from there. It had gotten a lot of positive feedback and I felt like I just wanted to explore this character even more. How did you settle on the film’s title? I chose the title “Emily at 2:30” since the film is centered around the protagonist’s appointments with her therapist.
Why did you choose film as a hobby? There is something extremely satisfying about making something for other people to enjoy. Film is like that. … We make these movies with the hope that people will feel something when watching them. Where did get your idea for “Ion Ninjas”? The idea came from my childhood memories of watching the “Power Rangers,” and just all of the television in the 90s. I wanted to make something as a tribute to all that terrible television I grew up on.
ʻM I N D S E T ʼ Dir. Reynolds Barney What about your fi lm do you consider special? My film has these dream sequences that happen, so the viewer will often not know what is real and what is just happening in the protagonist’s mind. There are also some quick fight scenes, which is a bit different from most ACM shorts. I try to incorporate someone getting punched in the face in all my films.

dreams at HIFF’s ACM Night ʻKAEʼ
we had to choose an ‘ōlelo no‘eau [Hawaiian proverb] and produce a five-minute fi lm centered around it. One of the options was “aia no ka pua i luna” [meaning] “the flower is still on the tree.” It … gives compliment to an elderly lady, for despite her age, she still retains her beauty. And that instantly made me think of my great-grandmother and her inspiring life, fiery attitude and loving heart.
Dir. Lana Dang How was casting for this fi lm done? Ikaika [Morgan, who plays main character Joe] is one of my good friends and I chose his real daughter Shyloh [Morgan] to play his onscreen daughter. Choosing friends and family to act in your movies is highly discouraged but I chose to do it anyway. … It helps them to be more natural on camera if they are not so intimidated by strangers watching them. … I still had to train them, but half of the work of a director can be done just by choosing the right cast.
COURTESY OF LANA DANG
ʻTHE HUNTERʼ (ʻTLAMICTIHQUETLʼ) Dir. Zimran Lucero
What is it that you love so much about fi lm? I believe fi lmmaking is a powerful medium and my goal is to create fi lms that will make a difference (even if just slightly) and help share the amazing stories our culture, world and people have to offer.
What are some special things about this fi lm? I got in touch with a professor in Mexico who is dedicated to translating the Nahuatl language. He helped translate the lines for the fi lm, so that the language would be correct. … It’s my personal philosophy that actions speak louder than words. About three-fourths of the fi lm is just actions. The audience should read the actions rather than just listening to dialogue … and hopefully walk away feeling something different.
How did the idea for “Ka Pua” come to you? For my indigenous fi lmmaking class,

When they land on a space, the color dictates what type of task they must complete, and should they fail, a penalty (usually involving moving back a number of spaces) is given. The instructions may sound ordinary, but wait until you actually play to be the judge of that. The tasks fall into five categories: Stuntz, Showbiz, Quizzle, Rulez and Scatterbrainz.

Many students may be familiar with the popular game Apples to Apples, where players must choose the card in their deck (cards feature famous people, places, concepts and things) that best fits the given adjective card. The player judging the round picks the card that they feel goes well with the adjective, and the owner of the chosen card is the round winner. Cards Against Humanity follows the same concept but adds astounding levels of foul language, obob scene imagery and distasteful references. With cards that have phrases like “golden showers,” show howers,” “being a
motherf—king sorcerer” and “Glenn Beck convulsively vomiting as a brood of crab spiders hatches in his brain and erupts from his tear ducts,” the easily offended may want to stay away from this game. If you can handle its inappropriateness, Cards Against Humanity could be the best game you’ve ever played. Download it for free or purchase the box edition for $25 and bring it out at a large party (family parties not suggested) for round after round of guilt-ridden laughter.

Don’t be a drone DTN NEWS / FLICKR
Drones are also used in civilian life in firefighting and infrastructure research. ROMAN K ALINOWSKI Staff Writer By the year 2020, as many as 30,000 unmanned aerial vehicles could be patrolling United States airspace, including its borders and major metropolitan areas. Privacy and the right to a fair trial, among other constitutional rights, will be under attack by their presence. UAVs, or drones, represent a new frontier in battlefield and law-enforcement technology, allowing police and military personnel to survey and eliminate targets from miles away. President Barack Obama’s signature drone-strike program has been the subject of much debate. Unmanned drones have great surveillance and offensive capabilities and have been used to successfully kill militants in places like Afghanistan, Iraq and Yemen. But while the strikes are militaristic in nature, they aren’t approved by Congress – the only body capable of declaring war under the Constitution. Instead, the president can use drones to authorize military intervention, bypassing many of the checks on his power.
F O R G O O D O R F O R BA D? Drone strikes do much more harm than good. A handful of key terrorists have been killed in the remote war at the cost of hundreds of civilian casualties. America receives negative backlash for its use of drones from millions in foreign countries. The recent riots and attacks at U.S. embassies in the Middle East are the result of our undeclared military interventions in the region for the past 11 years. The YouTube video “Innocence of Muslims” was just a catalyst.
UAVs flying over American airspace would not be popular among citizens once they realize their right to privacy has evaporated and that they can be subdued at a moment’s notice. The actions of the CIA and the Obama and Bush administrations haven’t gone unnoticed by the American Civil Liberties Union. The ACLU filed a lawsuit this year against the CIA and Pentagon after Anwar al-Awlaki, his son Abdulrahman and Samir Khan were killed last year in two drone strikes in Yemen. All three were American citizens, and none received any of their constitutional guarantees to due process, trial by jury or an attorney. Being struck by a missile from a predator drone is cruel and unusual punishment. While al-Awlaki was a suspected terrorist, his son and Khan were only guilty of associating with him. As an American citizen, al-Awlacki should have still received trial and a sentence in court.
TA K I N G AC T I O N To ensure that the federal government doesn’t take away your liberties, check the records of your elected representatives before the upcoming election and tell them how you feel. Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney has said that he would increase military spending, while Obama has shown no signs of slowing down his current program. The only presidential candidate who differs is Libertarian Gary Johnson. He would cut military spending immediately back to 2003 levels and end foreign offensive interventions. As Benjamin Franklin said, “Those who sacrifice liberty for freedom deserve neither.”
Put your money where your mouth is SHAYNA DIAMOND Opinions Editor Campaign money would be better spent on charities and causes than on promoting campaigns themselves. With wealth, the economy and taxes high on the issues list this election season, you’d think that both parties would be ver y careful about how they’re spending their cash. Spending some of what’s been raised towards the actual issues being addressed – like helping veterans or the impoverished find employment or better jobs – are great ideas. This, unfortunately, isn’t happening. Instead, money is being spent on advertisements for the campaigns. According to the New York Times, a total of $300.7 million remains “on hand” between both parties as of Sept. 30. President Barack Obama, the Democratic party and Priorities USA Action Super PAC hold a total of $130 million, while former Governor Mitt Romney, the Republican party and Restore Our Future Super PAC hold $170.7 million. But this money isn’t being used for the causes that the candidates claim to stand for. It’s being used to promote their campaigns in incredibly expensive advertisements.

When the elections are over, the money spent on ads is gone. There’s nothing left of the process, regardless of the winner. There’s only the pieced-together footage, which does nothing to help our nation. But if Obama and Romney were to put their money where their mouths are, then once the elections were over, there would be something left. Charities would benefit permanently from contributions rather than campaigns. They would prove that they’re willing to do whatever they can to help with these problems and that they intend to make real progress with them, even if they lose the election.
U S E I T F O R A R E A L C AU S E
With voter attention at least in part on campaign cash, spending this kind of money to help with the issues that the candidates strongly believe in would be a better way to promote said campaigns to the public. I can’t imagine having that kind of money at my disposal, much less running for office. But if I was truly determined to use the political stage to help the nation, then I would be donating the money to the causes that I cared about, trusting that the act would spread my message and prove my dedication better than any advertisement could.

Manu-Olevau breaks the ‘Tai’ Freshman provides ‘lift’ for Rainbow Wahine MARC A RAKAKI Sports Editor
Three weeks ago, Tai ManuOlevau planned on redshirting in her freshman season on the Rainbow Wahine volleyball team. But after No. 2 kill leader sophomore Jane Croson was suspended indefinitely, head coach Dave Shoji called upon on ManuOlevau to fill the void.. “In my head, I was like, ‘Oh yeah. I am accepting ting it. I am going to redshirt,’â€? rt,’â€? Manu-Olevau said. “But when everything went down I was like, ‘Oh, now I gotta start trying to ďŹ x my mindset.â€? And Hawai‘i’s No. 1 kill leader is encouraged by Manu-Olevau’s play. “You kind of feel a little relaxed and then all of a sudden, ‘Oh, I’m starting.’ It’s a pretty big transition,â€? junior outside hitter Emily Hartong said. “She’s adjusting to it really well.â€? The decision to redshirt is difďŹ cult and Manu-Olevau had to weigh out its pros and cons. “The beneďŹ ts of redshirting are you can focus on yourself as a player,â€? Manu-Olevau said. “The beneďŹ ts of not redshirting are you get to play. You get to play for a crowd. I kinda wanted to preserve my redshirt. But then it all came to be there for the team.â€?
GA M E - T I M E E X P E R I E N C E Manu-Olevau made her ďŹ rst appearances in Hawai‘i’s road trip at Cal Poly and UC Santa Barbara two weeks ago. And then she got her ďŹ rst start in the Rainbow Wahine’s four-set victory over CalState Northridge last week. “Tai did everything we thought do,â€? Shoji said. “She made she could do errors but we got some freshman fres a lot of offense out of her. I thought she handled herself thou very well being that this was the ďŹ rst start she’s had. She gave us a lift [last Friday].â€? Manu-Olevau put down Ma 11 kills hi hitting 273, second only to Hartong’s 21. “I just wanted to play and whatever happens, happens,â€? Manu-Olevau said. “And it happened like this, so [it’s] deďŹ nitely a boost of conďŹ dence.â€? But Hartong knew from August that Manu-Olevau could perform at a high level. “I love it,â€? Hartong said. “I thought she should’ve come out of her redshirt at the beginning of the season because I knew she was a player that could come in and was conďŹ dent enough. It’s nice to see her out there.â€?

T H E W I N N I N G M E N TA L I T Y It may have been Manu-Olevau’s skill that prompted Shoji to put her in the lineup, but it may be her championship experience that could push Hawai‘i through the NCAA Tournament in December. Manu-Olevau (Punahou ‘12) and the Buffenblu captured the 2011 high school state championship over thensix-time defending state title holder Kamehameha-KapÄ lama. Manu-Olevau said, “Losing to the same team, it was nice to ďŹ nally beat them. The team that we had that year was just owing. It was beautiful. It wasn’t just me. It was the team.â€? And the conďŹ dence ManuOlevau gained will help the ‘Bows throughout the rest of the season. “You come back knowing that, ‘Yeah, I can play this game.’ I can move it around. I can do these things. I did it before so why not do it again?â€? Manu-Olevau said.

Hartong said, “We were always switching, so I wouldn’t really say she took over a speciďŹ c role but maybe a combination of some of our right-side players in general.â€? “She started at opposite [last Friday] and that’s the goal that we’ve been priming her for,â€? Shoji said. “I thought she performed in all phases of the game. “She’s also pretty good on the left so that’s still not out of the question. In the next week or two at practice, we’ll give her a shot to win the job on the left. It will be really hard for her but it’s something that she can handle.â€?
Manu-Olevau and the Rainbow Wahine take the court tomorrow against UC Davis (7 p.m.) and on Saturday against Pacific (7 p.m.). Both matches will be at the Stan Sheriff Center and validated University of Hawai‘i at MÄ noa students get in free.

Peter Chi: fighting till the end M ARC A R AK AKI Sports Editor
“Peter” Frank Chi would have turned 20 today. But his life was taken too soon. On Oct. 6, Chi passed away due to an apparent cardiac arrest. “We’ll all know it’s his birthday,” University of Hawai‘i swimming coach Victor Wales said. “Everyone will tell him ‘Happy Birthday.’” The team is spending today traveling to face Arizona on Friday and Saturday. But Wales recalled celebrating Chi’s birthday last year. “We do birthday swims. What we do as a team is we line the whole team up,” Wales said. “Everyone gets a kick board and creates the biggest

Last year he was laughing and got to the wall on the other side and [yelled], ‘Oh, I’m so tired,’ and then swam back to the other side. But Peter made it feel like it was your birthday every day. “You know that one friend you have, when you have a bad day and you call and by the time you fi nish and just laugh and forget why you’re having a bad day – that’s a conversation with Pe Peter.”

Because obviously my job is to coach people past them – to get a breakthrough, physically and mentally; to get them to do things that they didn’t think they could do,” Wales said. After Chi went down with his fi rst cardiac arrest in January of 2011, Wales battled with Chi. “That was tough. It was really tough between me and Peter when he first started coming back,” Wales said. “When you’re a swimmer and you go one day without swimming, it just doesn’t feel right. And then to go months without swimming and then to go months being told, ‘Hey, you get your heart rate up, I don’t know what’s going to happen.’ So there was a line there that Peter had to figure out where it was.

However, after Chi hi swam in his first meet following ing his rere cover y back in November mber 2011, he wanted to push even en harder. “Then Peter didn’t dn’t care where it [the line] was,” s,” Wales said. “He wanted to be better. He wanted to be good. He wanted to help the team. And his passion n for swimming overwhelmed med everything else. And at that point I had to say to myself, ‘Hey, you can’t n’t be afraid.’” And Peter’s sister Shaaron Chi was grateful forr Wales’ determination. “I’m very appreciative of that because without him allowing ng Peter to do what he wantanted to do, he wouldn’t n’t have been able to enjoy joy swimming as much as he did at UH,” Sharon Chi said. “Victor Wales iss not just a coach to them; m; he’s kind of their uncle. Coach Wales was there from m when he first started swimming ing at UH and through the hard rd times. I
remember he came when Peter was first in the hospital.”
TA K I N G A S T E P F O RWA R D Leadership is vital in any sports team and Chi was that guy for the Rainbow Warriors. “In sports, you don’t follow the guys who talk a lot. You follow the guys who get the job done. And Peter was the kind of guy that you follow by example,” Wales said. “I mean, what are you going to tell Peter? ‘Oh, I’m tired, you go in this one. I don’t feel good.’ The guy was dead – literally comes back to life. [He] comes back – outworks you, out-hustles you, gets better grades in school, shows up every day not knowing when the last day’s gonna be.

I don’t care how big an obstacle it is. There are no excuses. Peter basically lived with a no-excuses mantra,” Wales said. “Maybe you haven’t been motivated to do it, but all it takes is that fi rst step and the fi rst commitment to try something. Peter is a great story for people who are looking for a reason to get off the couch, get to class, look for a job, whatever it is.”
C H I ʼS L E GAC Y And the team is going to carry on Peter’s legacy this season. “The The guys have talked about it a lot,” Wales said. “And even ten minutes after I told them what had happened, they were just rallying around [saying] ‘This one’s for Peter. There’s no excuses this year. We’re going to t do this for Peter.’” “It really honors his memory and his spirit and love for swimming,” Sharon Chi said. “He always pushed himself to be the best that he could be. If he was in the same position, he would be doing exactly the same. He lives on in their determination and perseverance.”
