‘If I don’t get that done, I’m a failure’ Apple addresses faculty congress
In an Oct. 8 e-mail to the UH community, Apple stated, “I am here to advocate for the students, faculty, staff and alumni of Mānoa.” CAITLIN K ELLY Associate News Editor
University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Chancellor Thomas Apple believes that passionate students are driven students, and he made that clear in a faculty congress meeting on Oct. 17. His address followed a faculty senate meeting where a vote of no confidence for UH System President M.R.C. Greenwood was tabled.
VO T E S O F C O N F I D E N C E Apple encouraged faculty members to take a confidence vote on him if they felt it was appropriate. He remarked that when he goes to the State Legislature, he
wants legislators to know that it’s “faculty and staff speaking” as opposed to it being solely “Tom Apple” speaking. Apple went as far as to joke that a vote of confidence at the start of each faculty meeting would “keep him on his toes.” The Pennsylvania State University and University of Delaware graduate also discussed what he believed the role of the university faculty and administration should be. “At Penn State, even though it’s a great school, I never really found my passion,” he explained, “We’re entrusted with 17 and 18 year olds, and if we can help them fi nd their passion, then we’re doing our job.”

A N A LY Z I N G O U T R E AC H Apple sent out an e-mail to the UH community on Oct. 8, asking for their thoughts and suggestions on how the university could be improved. He discussed feedback from the hundreds of replies he’s received. Major concerns included campus infrastructure and security. He discussed bringing about a paperless initiative, where certain forms would become electronic for greater accessibility and speed in distribution. While he acknowledged that it would take time, he said, “If I don’t get that done, I’m a failure … We have to do it. I will not stop until we improve those processes.”

Academic rigor was another topic of discussion, as a common concern in e-mail responses was the lack of challenges and funding for students available to students. “I think a lot of the graduation problem has to do with fi nances, I think a lot of students have trouble taking 15 credits per semester because of the hours they’re working,” he explained, “I think if a student is not challenged and doesn’t fi nd a passion, they’re going to be more lackadaisical about going through the program.” However, he expressed optimism for the future. “The real thing I’m excited about is we are a far better university than people realize … I think the idea that students find their

Apple gave several examples of actions he has undertaken as chancellor, but he highlighted Hamilton Library as a visible accomplishment. The Chancellor’s Office has secured enough funding for Hamilton Library to be open on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. This funding will last until the end of Spring 2013. Apple will host a “CampusWide Conversation” on Monday, Oct. 22, in Kuykendall 101. The discussion will be open to students, faculty, staff and community members.

Plans for improvement DAVIN AOYAGI Editor in Chief The contentious Senate Resolution 07-13, pertaining to the Honolulu Rail Transit Project, encountered opposition by native Hawaiian groups with claims ranging from complicity with mass murder and genocide to criticizing the lack of openness of the Associated Students of the University of Hawai‘i. Senate Resolution 07-13 was introduced by Sens. Cassandra Belisario and Rio Kwon as a way to update a prior resolution that supported rail at a time when it reached UH Mānoa’s campus. “[Given] the current events, I just felt it was important to bring up now,” said Belisario.
ʻ I W I KU P U N A , G E N O C I D E A N D AC C E S S I B I L I T Y Several testifiers criticized the resolution for its support of rail, particularly due to the discovery of ‘iwi kūpuna, or Hawai-
ian ancestral remains, that has halted the rail project in a Hawai‘i Supreme Court mandate. “They’re [‘iwi kūpuna] not just bones. They’re our family, they’re our blood, they’re the people that gave birth to us,” said Camille Simon, a senior. Another testifier claimed that by supporting the resolution, ASUH senators were complicit in genocide. “Allow us, the descendants of the bones, to educate the [ASUH] Senate on its complicity with mass murder and genocide,” said an unidentified testifier, who went to the podium without being called upon. The same student then said that action will be taken on senators that voted in favor of the resolution. “The names of the senators that vote in affi rmation of this proposal will be dispersed publically and extensively in traditional and in social media,” he said. “We are makawalu. We are watching you. We are always watching you.” Other testifiers were opposed to the resolution due to a perceived lack

follow heated Senate resolution
of access. They explained that they were notified about the issue through senators that were opposed to the resolution and couldn’t find the resolution on the ASUH website. Some senators provided an alternative explanation. Belisario noted that the Senate followed proper protocol, but it just so happens that the resolution isn’t online.
TWO MINUTES, DISREGARDED
Because 14 testifiers signed up to speak, ASUH placed a limit of two minutes on each testimony. Several testifiers, however, disagreed with the two-minute limit. “When I mean respect ... [the testifier knocked on the podium to simulate the gavel] ... you do that to me, we have a problem,” said Kaleo Carvalho, a senior. ASUH President Richard Mizusawa told Carvalho that his time was up after two minutes, but Carvalho responded, “Nope. Don’t even say that either – to any of us, again.”
Following a warning by Carvalho that things would happen “outside” if ASUH attempted to follow the two-minute limit, two Campus Security guards were called to stand outside of the meeting room. One spectator brought up the two-minute rule after the testimony period was over and discussion among the senators had begun. “We’re gonna start timing every single [senator] and once it’s done, we can talk whenever we want,” said the unidentified female spectator. Mizusawa clarified the time rule for the senate. “For the Senate, there isn’t a time rule,” said Mizusawa. But the spectator cut off Mizusawa mid-sentence, stating, “Okay, unfair. So we won’t be fair either.” Sen. Heather Schulz attempted to explain why there is no time rule for senators, stating the senate’s responsibility is to come up with the best decision, taking as much time as necessary.
A TA B L E D R E S O L U T I O N A N D P L A N S F O R I M P ROV E M E N T S A vote was passed through the General Senate that tabled Resolution 07-13 on the condition that additional time be given for the student body to express their views through polls, hearings and other methods. This task was delegated to the external affairs committee, the internal affairs committee and any other committee deemed necessary. Some senators felt that the testimony may have inf luenced others in the decisions made. “Passion is something that’s really hard to get around. If somebody comes and they’re really passionate about it, you naturally listen to them,” said Kwon. “Their testimony was really effective, and it was a really good job on their part.” Other items that came out of open forum later in the meeting included the potential to provide the posting of resolutions and bills on the website, and actions to promote polling related to the issue of rail.

This is a major election year both nationally and locally: The president is up for re-election and Hawai‘i will be sending its first female senator to Washington D.C. Candidates on both sides of the aisle have built up their war chests in anticipation of the clash between Democrats and Republicans this year. But where do politicians get the massive amounts of money needed to fund their campaigns?

On the national level, former Governor Mitt Romney has collected $274 million. Romney accumulated $191,538,802 from individuals, while another $901,224 comes from PACs. He has received about $58 million in contributions under $200, and more than $137 million has been in contributions of $2,000 and up.
THE TREND Millions of dollars are donated to political candidates for their campaigns and millions are spent on things like advertising, signs, staff and events. This number appears to be rising annually, even with inflation being a factor. According to the Campaign Finance Institute, the average cost of winning a Senate seat in 2010 was $8,993,945, and the average House seat took $1,434,760 to secure. This is compared to $3,067,599 for a Senate race and $359,577 per House race in 1986 (actual cost without inflation). With inflation, those numbers are $6,103,099 and $715,401, respectively.

According to the Federal Election Commission, candidates receive money from donors categorized as individuals, political action committees, political parties, the candidates themselves and miscellaneous sources. Recently, attention has been given to the involvement of “super PACs” in funding politicians’ election campaigns. These are PACs capable of giving massive amounts of money to a candidate, and many have questioned the

After dating this guy for a month, we ended things on good terms. We’ve been hanging out a lot and became friends with benefits. Neither of us has verbalized wanting to be back in a relationship. We have a fun time when we hang out, but recently, he’s been doing couple-like things such as kissing my forehead or putting his arm around me when we’re out in public. We’re usually honest and forthcoming with each other. I’m getting mixed signals as to whether he wants to start dating again or not. I’m afraid that bringing it up will push him away if he doesn’t want to date again, and I really like hanging out with him. What should I do? QUINCY GREENHECK Web Editor First off, you should explore your feelings toward this guy before worrying about what will or won’t happen. Know yourself first. This will help you figure out how you want to navigate your friendship with him. In the case that you do want to have a romantic relationship, then take heart: His public displays of affection toward you are a good sign. It seems like he probably wants you to be his girlfriend. His kissing your forehead and putting his arm around you is telling of an emotional connection he’s developing with you. Pursue him back if it feels good. If, however, you decide you don’t want to date again, then you need to talk. There’s tension between the two of you that needs ou u tha at nee eds to be be resolved. resolvved.
A RIEL R AMOS Managing Editor You need to figure out how you feel about this guy. While you’re sorting through your feelings, see how this relationship progresses. Should you want to pursue a romantic relationship with him and he seems to be of the same mind (being more affectionate or wanting exclusivity), broach the subject. However, if you decide that you don’t want to date him, be sure to let him know, especially if the relationship is becoming more intimate. You don’t want to be accused of leading him on.

Get G Ge yourself tested Mixed signals STD FREE? YES NO MAYBE JACKIE PERREIR A Associate Opinions Editor My experience with sexually transmitted diseases has been positive. And by that I mean I have never had one. And neither have many of you, according to a 2012 study conducted by hercampus.com involving over 3,765 college students. I’m skeptical about this survey – and you should be too. Still, it serves as a reminder to preserve our own sexual health, and should not be a source of relief for students across the country. In this case, ignorance is anything but bliss.
D O N ʼ T T RU S T T H E N U M B E R S

As with any type of social research, inconsistencies are easy to recognize and expected. The survey is recent and includes college students from all over (girls ages 17-23 from 677 colleges across the country, guys ages 18-23 from 350). But STDs are a sensitive subject, regardless of whether or not the survey was anonymous. Who’s to say these students were even being honest? The fi ndings of this survey can be considered good news: It’s great that STDs aren’t running rampant on college campuses. This survey is helpful for someone wanting a general idea of college students’ stance on STDs, but it proves little use for each of us personally. That’s not to say it doesn’t hold some relevance. After all, a majority of us are
the same age as those surveyed and can relate to them on a social level. But the best way to get clear answers about those we’re involved with is simply to ask and to be honest about your own experiences. Conduct your own survey instead of trusting this one.
K N OW L E D G E I S P OW E R I also want to draw attention to a particularly alarming result: 100 girls claimed that they weren’t sure if they’ve ever had an STD, and 155 were unsure if they have one right now. The guys’ results didn’t have an “unsure” option when asked if they’ve ever had an STD, but 22 also were in the dark if they currently have an STD. That is truly scary. Not knowing for sure is extremely dangerous. Getting the right kind of medical attention as soon as possible is crucial in effectively treating an STD, so the sooner you know, the better. It’s also a matter of being courteous to your partner or past partners. Let them know so that they can get treatment. The moral of the story: Don’t be ignorant. Don’t mess around with your health. That stuff ’s important. Be aware and get yourself tested.

OFFENSE UH’s fl aws on the offensive side of the ball have been glaring this season as the Warriors consistently rank toward the bottom of the nation in most major offensive categories. Junior quarterback Sean Schroeder currently ranks last in the Mountain West Conference in completion percentage (53.8 percent), yards per attempt (5.4) and quarterback rating (107.8). Schroeder is also currently second to last in the conference in passing yards (1,804) and touchdowns (8). Meanwhile, the UH running game may rank just 107th in the nation with 106.6 yards per game, but there have been signs of promise. Last year’s featured running back, sophomore Joey Iosefa, is expected to return from injury soon. During Iosefa’s absence, freshman Will Gregory has risen to the occasion with 450 yards and 5.2 yards per carry.

The Warriors return to the field on Oct. 27 at Colorado State. Still, Hawai‘i must make major strides to improve its offense that averages just 287.3 yards per game (117th in the country).
DEFENSE The Warrior defense has fared just as badly. UH has failed to hold an FBS opponent under 35 points and has allowed 47 or more points in four games. Opponents’ running backs have hurt UH and its injuryplagued defensive line throughout the season as the Warriors have allowed not only 233.7 rushing yards per game, but also 23 touchdowns on the ground, which is the most in the nation. The UH red zone defense also ranks worst in the countr y as the Warriors have failed to

make a stand with their heels on the edge. Hawai‘i has allowed opponents to score 23 times in 23 red zone trips, while reaching the end zone on 21 of them and being forced to settle for a field goal on just two. However, the statistic that truly summarizes the Warrior defense thus far this season is its 42.3 points per game – ranking it second-worst in the nation.
SPECIAL TEAMS Despite dismal statistics from the Warrior offense and defense, the UH special teams have shone through – especially in kickoff returns. Junior cornerback Mike Edwards currently leads the nation in kickoff return yardage with 807. Edwards is also second in the country with two kickoffs returned for touchdowns and fi rst in the Mountain West with 31.0 yards per return. The field position aspect of the game has also vastly improved with the return of senior punter Alex Dunnachie. During his three-game suspension, UH averaged just 34.7 yards per punt. However, that number has improved to 47.3 since Dunnachie regained punting responsibilities.

‘Bows close out home schedule JONATHAN CHIN Staff Writer
It is crunch time for the Rainbow Wahine soccer team (6 -8 -2) as it heads into its last two home games in the Big West Conference against Pacific and UC Davis. The Rainbow Wahine have struggled in their return to the BWC, having lost four out of five games so far. UC Davis (7-6-2) faces Hawai‘i tonight at 7 p.m. in the Waipi‘o Peninsula Soccer Stadium. The Aggies come with a road record of 2-2-1. “Davis is a very disciplined team,” head coach Michele Nagamine said. “Their coach [Maryclaire Robinson] has been around for a while. She’s going to have her squad ready, and that is a concern because even though we play at home, when you find teams that play good on the road, there is a little bit of canceling out.” However, the team remains positive and optimistic taking on the challenge. “Our team really strives at home,” senior goalkeeper Kanani Taaca said. “We do a lot

better statistically at home than away. … Everyone is going to be pumped.”
SPEED BOOST On the other hand, Pacific (3-10-1) poses more of a threat for the Rainbow Wahine. The Tigers play a very aggressive game, leading the BWC statistically in yellow cards. This worries the Rainbow Wahine, who have fewer players to pull from. Nonetheless, the team has other ways to win games, primarily by using its opponent’s aggressiveness against it. “I think it works well in our favor. We’re a team that does well with free kicks,” Taaca said. “Chelsea Miyake can put a ball at the top of the circle into the eighteen and anything can happen. We make up for our size with speed. We’re there for the second ball, beating them with our speed.” Despite the Tigers’ less-than-stellar record of 0-4-1 in the BWC, the Wahine know not to take them lightly. “I think when you don’t have a win, I think
they look at us and think ‘that’s going to be our first win’ or ‘that’s the one we can win.’ People are always going to come out and play their best game against us,” Nagamine said. Hawai‘i plays Pacific on Sunday at 5 p.m. The game will be the last home game for the ‘Bows in the BWC and the last home game for the seniors of the Rainbow Wahine soccer team, as they will be celebrating senior night at the game. Taaca, Amber Fuller, Rachel Domingo, Michelle Nakasone and Christy Watanabe will make their last appearances in front of Hawai‘i’s home crowd.
