After his first university-wide forum on Monday, Chancellor Thomas Apple said that he is impressed by the feedback that he has received from students and faculty, and that he hopes to work with the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa community to develop solutions to the issues they raise. “I wanted to get a feel for what people were thinking about,” Apple said of the meeting in a Wednesday interview with Ka Leo. Apple, who is halfway through his first semester as chancellor, hosted his first “Campus-Wide Conversation” in the Kuykendall Auditorium. The goal of the town-hall style meeting was to help Apple understand some of the concerns that faculty and students have about the university. In an Oct. 8 e-mail sent to students and faculty, Apple asked

for feedback and suggestions on how the university could improve “communication and campus unity.” The responses to his request were incredible. In the weeks since his e-mail, the chancellor claimed he has received hundreds of messages from students, faculty and others associated with the university. What’s more, he added, many were speciﬁc in their suggestions for change and expressed a clear concern for the university. “Many are really, really thoughtful,” Apple stressed. “I can’t tell you how impressed I am.”

FAC I L I T I E S A N D S A F E T Y One of the main themes that emerged was discontent with the condition of facilities, including buildings and landscape, on campus.

The peeling paint, dilapidated furniture and dusty air vents common in buildings like Kuykendall Hall were specifically referenced. Apple suggested that such a state of disrepair is unacceptable. “You’re not inspired to do your best work [in these facilities],” he said. Apple acknowledged that this, like many of the other issues raised, would take time and the involvement of the whole UH community to solve. He also discussed possible ﬁrst steps that could be taken, such as dividing up the current campuswide maintenance team into smaller units that could focus on the repair needs of individual buildings. He also noted that improvements are already being made, with plans to renovate 24 classrooms over winter break.

Apple also said that many other comments raised concerns about the safety of the campus and the effectiveness of current security measures in keeping students safe. The former University of Delaware provost pointed to the great success of on-campus security cameras and lightly armed campus police at other universities in the United States, suggesting that such methods should be considered in a public discussion on campus safety. While Apple acknowledged that these new tactics may not appeal to everyone, he also noted that such methods fit in with his larger goal of creating a more active campus. “A well-lit, well-patrolled and safe campus will be more lively and attract more people,” Apple added.

AT H L E T I C S TA L K Apple was also questioned by a student about the athletic department’s attempt to book Stevie Wonder for a fundraiser concert and whether any individuals in the UH hierarchy would be held accountable for the $200,000 lost. Apple said that, at its base, the failed concert consisted of “people trying to do the right thing and generate some money.” He went on to say that the department still needs more money than it is currently allocated. “We have an underfunded athletic department,” Apple stated. The chancellor noted that while he does believe the department requires more funding than it receives at present, he does not support additional funding from the university itself, especially in the form of any athletic fee increase on students. Instead, Apple maintained that the department should look for other external sources of funding to supplement its current $29 million annual budget. In particular the department should focus on increasing donations from corporate sponsors by offering perks, such as corporate viewing boxes at the Stan Sheriff Center, to companies that donate to UH athletics. Apple also mentioned the prospect of an extra $26 million a year in revenues should UH ever join the Paciﬁc-12 Athletic Conference.

F E E D BAC K Attendees at the Monday meeting were varied in their reaction to Apple’s handling of their questions. Aharon Fleury, a junior marine biology major, felt that Apple understood his concerns about academic rigor and standards at the university. “Academically, I think he understands that the school needs a huge leap to get ahead,” he said. “He’s a very academic type of chancellor.”

At the same time, though, Fleury admitted that Apple’s comments and suggestions regarding campus facilities and sustainability left something to be desired. “I think he needs to walk around campus a little more.” Annie Hollis, a second year graduate student purusing a master’s degree in social work, asked the chancellor about UH policy on sexual assaults and security and shared Fleury’s pessimism. “For the chancellor to say, ‘I don’t know; join a committee’ is pretty dissatisfying,” Hollis explained. Both Fleury and Hollis said that they would sign up for task forces on issues related to their concerns, which the chancellor has pledged to set up as a way of “moving the issues forward.”

LESSONS LEARNED

Apple said that he learned the importance of listening to the concerns of the educational institution’s community during his time at UD, where he held public forums on a regular basis. “You can’t be a great leader without knowing the issues,” he observed. He said that he would like to inaugurate the tradition here and looks forward to hosting another meeting around Thanksgiving, as well as others next semester. For Apple, helping students ﬁ nd their passion is paramount to this open communication. As the university moves forward with making changes, he said, there must be a focus on developing students’ interests into occupations that fascinate them after their college careers are over. To that end, he explained, UH needs to brand itself as a university that students are proud to attend. At the same time, Apple pointed out that this is a far cry from the mentality among many current students and alumni – one he says is epitomized by this declaration: “For college, I just went to UH.” “I want to get the ‘just’ out of there,” Apple said.

Gangrene is an infection from bacteria left unchecked. It requires immediate medical attention, ranging from antibiotics to amputation. The University of Hawaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i at M Ä noa suffers from similar septicity. But our condition is Greenwood, not gangrene. The informational briefings held at the Hawaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;i State Legislature on Sept. 28 uncovered the symptoms of an ill university. The violation of NCA A policies and the $1.1 million lost as a result of hiring various law and public relations firms and the reappointment of Jim Donovan are all signs of a serious infection.

M.R.C. Greenwood to the MÄ noa Faculty Senate. T hat motion was tabled indef initely. But in a report to the Senate, its Committee on Administration and Budget said that they were â&#x20AC;&#x153;deeply troubledâ&#x20AC;? by an overall lack of consultation with faculty on issues ranging from the development of the 2013-2015 budget, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;15 to Finishâ&#x20AC;? program and the hiring of 50 new research faculty, all done without regard for schools, colleges and departments.

The second treatment requires the Board of Regents amputating the most visible sign of rot from the university system by firing Greenwood. This would be costly as her contract is not up until 2015, and firing her sooner will result in a severance package that could amount to millions. However, the costs of inaction may be more severe. As ethnic studies professor Noel Kent said in his testimony at the Board of Regents meeting he held on Oct. 12, â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a credib credibility gap a mile wide â&#x20AC;Ś The curcu rent president should be given give her walking papers: She has h discredited herself.â&#x20AC;?

Sting like a ‘Bee’man M ARC A R AK AKI Sports Editor

It is the start of a new era for Hawai‘i when the R ainbow Wahine basketball team takes the court tonight. Laura Beeman begins her first Division I head coaching stint tonight against the University of Hawai‘i at Hilo in an exhibition game. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. at the Stan Sheriff Center. Admission is free for all UH Mānoa students with valid IDs. “The girls are very excited. I know they are going to be very nervous. We’re putting a lot ot of new stuff in and we have a lot of expectations,” Beeman said. “Bottom line, they want to play good basketball so people come ome back, win or lose.” Beeman came to Hawai‘i after spending two seasons as an assisssistant coach at USC. Prior to that, she was an assistant with the Los Angeles Sparks of the WNBA. But the position that Beeman cherished the most was spending g 15 seasons as the head coach of Mt. San Antonio College in California. rnia. “We had great success. When you win four state championpionships, that’s fun,” Beeman said id of coaching at Mt. SAC. “Being able to see the growth and the change ange of the players because it was monumental change, you can see ee a young lady as a freshman and d by the time she left, you could see the changes in her personality ty and her ability to play. “ To be a part of helping a young lady open a door into a great future was really exciting.”

“The difference with the BCS level [USC] and here – those young women would go two and a half to three hours hard and stay in and get extra shots. There’s a passion. They wanted to play at the next level – they weren’t going to be denied. I don’t know yet if this team has that. Do I think they’re capable of that, yes I do. But because I want them to have it, doesn’t mean they’re going to have it. “If they turn that corner, then we are going to be very good. That’s kind of what we are dealing with right now … do we want to be great? Or do we want to continue to be okay?” okay? said Beeman. And Beeman’s offensive and defensive philosophies have changed from the previous staff. “I didn’t watch a lot of ﬁ lm [from last season] because it’s a completely different system than what I run. Offensively, I want to push the tempo when we can – push it and not turn it over,” Beeman said. “I like to run continuity offenses and throw in a sprinkle of pro-sets once in a while. Defensively, I want to get after people. I want to take them outside

their comfort zone – make them make mistakes [and] make them get their timing and rhythm of f. A nd also mix it up from zone to man.”
