K ELSEY A MOS Senior Staff Writer University planners and transportation coordinators are trying to get input from skateboarders about transportation and safety on campus, but they’re having trouble fi nding a group that represents the skateboarding community.

“It may be that they don’t want a group that represents them, but it would be actually pretty helpful ... if there was, because then that group could give us input on facility changes that would be helpful and ... safety issues,” said Crysttal Atkins, transportation demand management coordinator for Commuter Services.

Atkins and others are hoping to start a conversation about needs and safety with the skateboarding community by inviting them to today’s “Halloween on Wheels” BikeUHM event. Skateboarders, as well as cyclists and people considering using alternative transportation, are encouraged to attend.

C H A N G I N G AT T I T U D E S “I feel like it’s kind of frowned upon at the moment,” said Jack Deguzman, a freshman marine biology major who skateboards regularly on campus.

On the day Deguzman spoke with Ka Leo, he’d already been yelled at by a Campus Security officer while skateboarding to class.

“He’s like, ‘You’re not allowed to be

in this area; you have to pick it up.’ A lot of the campus, like the sidewalk... aren’t available for usage, and the bike lanes too – you’re not allowed to use [them],” Deguzman said.

But when Ka Leo spoke with Atkins and her co-workers, they all insisted that skateboarding is a legitimate mode of transportation and even a preferable alternative to cars.

“From the broader picture, the whole state is trying to reduce its dependence on fossil fuel,” Atkins explained. She said she is hoping that skateboarders will form their own group, similar to Cycle Mānoa, and aid Commuter Services in its mission to promote greener transportation that also alleviates the demand for parking around campus.

Atkins acknowledged the diffi culties for skateboarders. “There’s not a place for skateboards ... in most jurisdictions, they’re really not allowed ... that’s a problem because they are a form of transportation for a number of people, so recognizing that, and recognizing that there are some safety concerns when you’re trying to mix everybody doing different things, is really kind of the basis of why we’re saying, ‘Let’s have a conversation,’” she explained.

CAMPUS SECURIT YʼS STANCE Sgt. William Okamura of CS traced the acceptance of skateboarding back to former Chancellor Virginia Hinshaw’s inclusion

INPUT ON THE MASTER PLAN Asked if he thought a group representing skateboarders on campus was a good idea, Deguzman said yes without hesitation.

He also said he’d like clarifi cation about where he’s allowed to skate on campus. “There’s not really a clear boundary,” he said.

Campus Planner Kevin Griffin of the Office of Physical, Environmental, and Long Range

Planning works on the Landscape Master Plan for UH, which will help determine how people move around campus in the future. Griffin said that although bicyclists have been able to review drafts of the plan, skateboarders have not.

“We don’t necessarily need to talk to a driver to understand how cars move around campus, same with bicycles in a way ... with skateboarders, it’s somewhere between walking and biking, right? So what do they need and what’s acceptable ... what unique needs do they have for the campus?” Griffin asked.

A S K AT E FAC I L I T Y O N L OW E R C A M P U S? There have been suggestions that UH build an on-campus skate facility.

“I don’t know about a skate park, certainly the idea comes up ... I don’t see why not ... within certain parameters. I know the university is always concerned about liability, so I would be remiss if I didn’t say that there are liability concerns,” Atkins said.

Griffi n responded that a skate facility might be appropriate on lower campus near the athletic facilities, but said that athletics handles the landscape planning for that area and would need to be involved in plans for a skate park.

of skateboarders in the Move with Aloha campaign. “That was pretty much an invitation for them to ... skateboard on campus. Previous to that, basically they weren’t accepted or weren’t looked at as a means of transportation,” Okamura said.

Okamura acknowledged skateboarding as a cheap and portable means of transportation for students and said he thinks the majority of skateboarders, like the majority of drivers, are conscientious. “The percentage of bad is small, and usually that is highlighted more,” he said.

W hen asked how skateboarders can contribute to safety on campus, Okamura suggested “being aware of the places to ride and times to ride. During class breaks, when there’s high traffic in the mall – I don’t think it ’s a good time to ride at that point,” he said.

GAVIN GOTO / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

The first Brown Bag presentation in 2012 featured Dr. Kamana Beamer and Dr. Jonathon Osorio regarding notions of place and relationships with the landscape.

CAITLIN KURODA Features Editor In an effort to connect students with academic leaders, cultivate success in various fields of research and stimulate interest in Hawaiian culture, the last installment of the Native Hawaiian Student Scholar Brown Bag Series will be held on Friday, Nov. 2.

“The purpose of the Brown Bag series is to provide the opportunity for students to learn more about the current academic leaders in various fields,” explained Lindsay Kido, student chair for the event, in an e-mail interview.

The event is put on four times a year and each installment features a presentation by a different fellow from the Mellon-Hawai‘i Doctoral and Postdoctoral Fellowship Program.

Kido feels that anyone can benefit from attending this event, from Native Hawaiians and underrepresented ethnic groups to those interested in Hawaiian culture or thinking of pursuing higher degrees and conducting research. This specific Brown Bag is geared towards Hawai‘i’s education system, a focus of presenter and 2008 -2009 doctoral fellow Nalani Sing.

F E AT U R E D F E L L OW Sing recently retired from the Department of Education after serving as a principal, school renewal specialist and teacher.

Her presentation will center on her doctoral research on public elementary school principals and highlighted essential leadership characteristics that are associated with Hawaiian values. This study was driven by her belief that it is the kuleana, or responsibility, of school leaders to provide their students with learning tools and opportunities in a “culturally and academically rich” environment.

“As a school principal, I realized that in order to make a difference and gain the trust and respect of my faculty, students, parents and community, it was important that I had a clear vision about how I was going to lead my school, and that my actions and decisions were grounded in Hawaiian values that I believe in,” Sing said in an e-mail interview.

ʻA SA F E S PAC E ʼ The Brown Bag event also strives to give students an opportunity to speak and relate with scholars who have gone through much to reach their current positions in the academic world.

Sing elaborated on her own struggles while doing her doctoral re-

search. “When I was chosen as a Mellow-Fellow, I made a commitment to complete writing my dissertation that year. This was a challenge that I had to address immediately in order to balance the other kuleana in my life. …

There were many sacrifices that my family and I had to make that year, but we worked through it together.”

Sing hopes that students will feel inspired by her personal journey and gain a sense of confidence in achieving their own goals.

Kido emphasized that students who attend the event have the chance to “‘sit and kūkākūkā’ [discuss] with the presenter. This provides a safe space for questions and comments.

We have come to understand that this allows more depth and personal connection in the conversations. …

One of the special things about the NHSS Brown Bag sSeries is that it brings people together.”

Opinions

The price of education lingers CLAIRE BARROGA Contributing Writer The federal government should pay for higher education to relieve student debt, create more opportunities for students to be desirable in the job market and produce a more educated democracy.

The childhood question, “ W hat do you want to be when you grow up?” Comes with re plies such as doctor, dentist, teacher and others. But what do these replies have in common?

Most of them require a degree.

Unfortunately, with education budget cuts and the rising cost of tuition, this results in students either dropping out due to unaffordable tuition fee, or possessing student loan debt years after establishing their careers.

DROWNING FROM THE START PA PAY T O G ROW The federal government currently offers financial services through FA FSA, including Pell Grants, Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students and Perkins loans. Unfortunately, Pell Grants are becoming increasingly difficult to qualify for, as the government remains cash-strapped.

W hile taking out loans to help pay for college seems like a great idea, a student who is taking care of his or her finances for the first time may be drowned by debt.

The average debt of University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa graduates in 2011, according to projectostudentdebt.org, was $17,447, with only 38 percent of graduates gradually paying off that debt. Some students do not even get the opportunity to obtain their degrees due to financial compromises.

Do you y support pp the Honolulu rail transit project?

According to Chronicle of Higher Education, 60 percent of the 20 million Americans attending college take out loans.

If the federal government did pay for higher education, this pa would encourage students to purwo sue their dream careers without su the th fear of financial burden. It would also display how highly edwo ucation is valued in this country. uc It may also strengthen our democratic process. Henry Girde oux, ou a founding theorist of critical ca educational pedagogy in the United States, claimed the goal Un of education is to create citizens who wh have the skills required to survive in a society fi lled with su norms that the general public has no agreed were appropriate. Giroux ag explained that “progressives all ex across the country must reclaim ac the th importance of educating all students with the knowledge, stu skills and values they will need in sk a democracy for the responsibilities tie of learning how to govern.”

If the government pays for higher education, we are like hi ly to see immediate benef its for fo societ y.

Middles get set for post-season

MARC ARAKAKI / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Sophomore Kalei Adolpho (right) leads the team with 1.10 blocks per set.

M ARC A R AK AKI Sports Editor Middle hitters Jade Vorster and Kalei Adolpho rank No. 1 and No. 2 in the Big West in hitting percentage.

However they only average 2.10 and 1.52 kills per set each, while the Rainbow Wahine lead the conference with 14.19 kills per set.

In order for Hawai‘i to dominate the conference and go deep into the NCA A Tournament, they must spread the offense.

HARD HITTER HARTONG “It all starts with the pass, though, and I try to go to them [middles] as much as I can,” junior setter Mita Uiato said. “I just try to distribute it more so that blockers don’t just key on [Big West kill leader and junior outside hitter Emily] Hartong.”

Hartong has been Hawai‘i’s workhorse all season, putting down 4.60 kills per set. She also picked up her third Big West Player of the Week honor for her performance last week on the road.

Still, Vorster feels that going to Hartong repeatedly may be come predictable. “ There are only so many solid shots, and on top of that they looked at us before, so yeah, they’ll expect it – and they’ll put two blockers on her,” Vorster said. “At the same time, she jumps so high and she’s got such a great arm and she’s so athletic that even when they do try to predict it, she’s really hard to stop.”

WO R K I N G I N T H E M I D D L E As a redshirt freshman, Vorster tries to contribute all she can for the Rainbow Wahine.

“I just try to work really hard and do what I can. Mita can’t set us every ball. As long as we’re there and open for Mita, she is trying to get us the ball,” Vorster said. “We both work really hard to be available in transition.

We’re up – and when we’re up, we’re not only making ourselves available but making the outsides available. It’s just getting up and trying to have a quick arm.”

With just six conference matches remaining before the NCA A Tournament, look for Uiato to set the middles to be successful.

“As we go along, the teams are going to get bigger and they are going to be smarter,” Uiato said. “We have young middles, so just working them in and getting them more comfortable throughout the season will help a lot.”

Scoring student rewards: Attend UH games M ARC A R AK AKI Sports Editor Attention students – the University of Hawai‘i Athletics Department is planning initiatives to reward you for attending sporting events.

“We want our students to come out and support us,” Rainbow Wahine basketball junior forward Kamilah Jackson said.

“A great crowd really gets us going. The more people we see, the better we play, so that’ll be really good once students start to come.”

Students who attend the most UH ticketed sporting events by showing their validated IDs will win prize packages provided by the athletic department in UH’s new “Student Rewards Program.”

Ticketed events include women’s volleyball, football, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s volleyball and baseball.

Winners will be chosen by the UH ticket office after checking a database at the end of every month, starting in November and ending in April. The number of winners will be determined by how many prizes are made available by UH corporate partners and other sources.

S TA R T T OMO R ROW The program officially begins tomorrow with Hawai‘i’s volleyball match against UC Santa Barbara. First serve is set for 7 p.m. at the Stan Sheriff Center.

“Our students have been re-

ally supportive,” Rainbow Wahine volleyball junior setter Mita Uiato said. “Our games are really lively and really fun. We really appreciate our student section. We go to a lot of other places, and they don’t have a lot of student support. I like the student reward thing, but they’ve [the students] always been supportive.”

Following the volleyball match, the men’s basketball team will make its season debut with an exhibition match on Friday at 7 p.m. vs. Hawai‘i Pacific in the Stan Sheriff Center.
