How to get into classes that are full CAITLIN KURODA Features Editor Don’t let registration woes dampen your beginning-of-thesemester spirit. If you were not able to register for a class you need because it filled up, there is still hope – follow these steps to increase your chances of getting into the class or finding fitting alternatives.

1. C H EC K FOR EQU I VALE N T S This is your back-up plan should the other steps not work out, but search for alternative classes before exhausting all of your other options. If you’re looking to fill general education requirements, most of them can be satisfied with a number of different courses. You could easily substitute a new one for one that is full and also check to see if the same course or an equivalent is offered at one of the community colleges. If you can’t get into a class specifically required for your major, check to see if you can put it off one semester and take another class in the meantime. For example, Shidler College of Business requires its stu-

dents to take a number of business core classes, but many can be taken at any point during their time in the college. If students can’t get into a BUS 312 class, they can try for BUS 313, 314 or 315 instead.

2 . WA I T I T O U T If your class has a waitlist, register and get onto it as soon as possible before the cap is reached. There will be students dropping the class at the beginning of the semester – they may think the class is too difficult or have found a better class or time slot – and waitlisted students get the first chance to take those spots. If you’ve been put on a waitlist, check your email regularly because that is how you will be notified that you may register for the class, and you are allotted only a small window of time to do so.

3. E M A I L , E M A I L , E M A I L Let your plight be known. Email the professors and give them a good reason as to why you need to take their classes. Some profes-

sors are willing to give overrides, especially if you need their class to keep on track with your degree or need it to graduate. But go a step further – email the department heads as well, because if enough students are in the same situation as you, they may open up a new section of the class you need. Also email your advisor – they may be limited in what they can do to get you into the class, but they can voice your concerns to the department heads and offer alternative courses of action should you be unable to get your class.

4 . AT T E N D T H E C L A S S Even if the professor hasn’t replied to your email, sit in on the class for the ﬁrst week and talk to the professor about getting into the class after the ﬁrst meeting. This will allow the professor to put a face to your email, and they will be more inclined to give you an override or let you know when a seat opens up over a student who didn’t make an appearance. Attending the class also ensures that, should you be granted the opportunity of registering for it, you won’t be behind the other students. RIE MIYOSHI / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

If you are waitlisted and receive an email that a seat opened up, go to “Add/Drop” classes on MyUH, select “Register on web” and save changes.

SYLLABI

Instead of paying $2.50 every time you catch the bus, have your ID validated at the beginning of the semester and never worry about it again. You’ll also get free admission to athletic events, certain campus activities and the gym. When you put money on your validated ID, it can be used as a check card to purchase meals at Campus Center and Paradise Palms. Your validated ID also acts as a library card. Be sure to pay your fees right away so you can take advantage of these beneﬁts early on.

W hen I would receive a syllabus in high school, I’d glance at it and toss it to the side, never to see it again. However, I’ve learned the hard way that it is essential to keep them around in college because they include information such as a semester schedule, grading scale and office hours.

If I were only allowed one item in my backpack, I would choose a planner in a heartbeat. It’s especially helpful in finding classes on time during the first week of the semester, but can also be used to keep track of homework, meetings and events. I prefer to write everything down on paper, but there are plenty of nifty planner apps for smartphones as well.

HEADPHONES It’s handy to have a good pair of headphones around for those long walks to and from class. Remember to create good playlists and keep the headphones in a place where they won’t get ett lost. los lo

Unless you’re planning to carry around a netbook or laptop to your classes, be sure to have a notebook or folder paper and writing instruments. These come in handy when you need to jot down important information such as hints on what will be on the exam or changes to the syllabi.

KA LEO O HAWAI‘I Writing daily or we ekly to-do lists can keep procrastination at ba y, and gives yourse lf a sense of accomplishment wh en you work that ta sk off.

CAITLIN KURODA Features Editor The first weeks are the easiest part of the semester – classes are spent going over course syllabi and refreshers before getting into new material, homework loads are light and tests are a few weeks off. But this is no time to relax. Follow these work habits from start to finish for a productive semester with minimal procrastination.

K N OW T H E S Y L L A B U S

The first step to a successful semester is being informed. W hen your professor goes over the syllabus in class, pay close attention. If your professor doesn’t allot time for it, be sure to go over the syllabus on your own time. Take special note of grading (Do they curve? A re there plus and minus grades?), absentee and late policies (Do they accept late work? W hat procedures do you have to go through to have an absence excused?) and any big deadlines. K nowing how your professor manages the class will help you

to plan out the studying and effort that you need to put in to get the grade you want.

KEEP A PLANNER Using a planner is the best way to stay on top of all of your deadlines. Professors often outline the entire course – home work and project due dates, quizzes and tests – in their syllabi, so take the time to add these dates to your planner in advance. Make notes about what you need to work on for each week and plan the days that you intend to work on them. Check off completed tasks to keep track of your progress and yetto -be -completed assignments. It becomes increasingly difficult to keep up with your planner updates as the semester goes by, but doing so will ensure much-needed organization in a time when ever ything else seems hectic.

DO THE READINGS You may not enjoy it, but you must get into the habit of doing

your class reading. Get used to it early, so you can maintain the pattern later in the semester. You can only take in so much information at a time, so do the required readings little by little in a timely manner. That way, the night before an exam you can read for a refresher instead of tr ying to understand an overwhelming amount of material for the first time.

GO TO CLASS It may sound silly, but a lot of students don’t. Going to every class early in the semester means that you have a better chance of still going to that class in the later half, even when sleep may seem like a better option. Don’t just be in class physically – be there mentally as well. Listen to your professor’s lecture and actively take notes, engage in discussions and ask questions if there is something you don’t understand. Make your presence known, both for attendance points and to leave a positive impression on your professor.

After cramming for fall exams, you might have missed a couple of off-campus study spots because of the convenience of on-campus resources. Having two libraries is nice when you need to do some last-minute research or set a meeting place, but Hamilton and Sinclair Libraries are not the best locations for casual study. Sinclair is loud, hot and crowded, while Hamilton is the same but freezing. Campus Center is also noisy and busy most of the time. Fortunately, other options are located within travel distance by foot or by bus.

HOW TO BE A

ARM Demonstrate your talents by knowing what to say. If no one else raises his or her hand in class, then you need to volunteer an answer – the correct answer. Professors are cheered when someone speaks; it demonstrates that you did the readings and are absorbing the course material.

BRAIN The best way to make your professors love you is to – of course – be the best. Be the smartest person in the class, the best writer and the most eloquent speaker. Intelligence cries out to be rewarded, and turning in excellent work is what guarantees you the A in the end.

HUGE SUCK-UP

HEART

GIFTS

When your professors help you, thank them. A gesture like this seems small, but it can mean a lot to potentially jaded faculty. Announcing it in class may rub your classmates the wrong way, but dropping in a sincere “thanks so much for your help” at the end of an email or individual conference will score you points.

It may seem a bit too obvious, but baking treats and sharing can never hurt. Pay attention to what your professors’ tastes are – you don’t want to give them something they are allergic to. But don’t single them out by bringing a special gift: Keep things subtle by bringing enough for everyone and make sure you include your professor in the sharing circle.

BOOKS

COMPUTER

Coming to class prepared with all of your 20-pound textbooks in tow demonstrates that you are committed and interested in the course and its material, especially since most of your classmates will not be as diligent.

Professors and university projectors are mortal enemies when they meet in the classroom, so when they look at the class in despair and ask for help, you had better be the one standing up to fiddle with the technology. Your solving their technical mishaps saves time and helps keep lessons on track.

PAIGE TAKEYA Managing Editor

If you want an A and you’re willing to do just about anything to get it, then these tips will help your nose stay brown and keep your grades high.

Spring gaming releases PAIGE TAKEYA Managing Editor You may still be playing your Christmas gaming spoils, but the world will always need to be saved anew. This spring is clogged with high-proﬁle releases and gems and here are three recommendations to pick up.

ʻTHE LAST OF USʼ

Gain skills that will set you apart from other students graduating with your same degree.

Release date: May 7 Platform: PS3 Developer: Naughty Dog “The Last of Us” is a post-apocalyptic survival-action game. The modern world has been decimated by plague, and things have degenerated into a violent survival of the ﬁttest. You are Joel, a jaded man with a mission: Protect a young girl, Ellie, and get her out of the quarantine zone. The gameplay is tense and fast-paced, with enemies adapting their behavior depending on Joel’s actions, adding an extra layer of strategy to events. Naughty Dog have taken the cinematic look they perfected with the “Uncharted” series and created a world so visually lush yet dilapidated, it might even be mistaken for real life.

We are recruiting Advertising Account Executives forr ou fo ourr growing program.

Call for Applicants:

Mellon-Hawaiʻi Doctoral and Postdoctoral Fellowship Program

The Mellon-Hawai‘i Doctoral and Postdoctoral Fellowship Program is designed for Native Hawaiian scholars early in their academic careers, and others who are committed to the advancement of knowledge about the Hawaiian natural and cultural environment, Hawaiian history, politics, and society. Applicants accepted to the program as doctoral fellows receive $40,000 in support to complete their dissertations before accepting their first academic posts. Postdoctoral fellows receive $50,000 in support to publish original research early in their academic careers. Program information and application materials are available online at kohalacenter.org/mellon/about.html. Applications must be submitted by Friday, February 25, 2013. Award notifications will be made on Friday, April 19, 2013. For more information, please e-mail Cortney Hoffman at choffman@kohalacenter.org, or call 808-887-6411.

In a callback to FE7, you play a nameless tactician who assists the prince Chrom in defending his kingdom against a demonic threat. While this entry keeps most of the series’ mechanics intact, it adds in many of the features introduced but not retained in earliest entries: The skill system from FE9 and FE10 returns, as does the world map from FE8. Players will also be able to customize their tactician like an avatar and will play a more pivotal role in the story than in past games. There will also be downloadable content available, including weekly characters (including familiar faces such as Marth, Roy and Ike) and missions.

TIM M ETR A Associate Opinions Editor

“Les Misérables” is a British musical ﬁ lm directed by Tom Hooper, who also directed the Academy Award-winning ﬁ lm “The King’s Speech,” and is adapted from a musical by the same name, both of which are based on the novel by Victor Hugo. “Les Miz” is a story about injustice, love and redemption told through the life of Jean Valjean (Hugh Jackman) as he runs from Inspector Javert (Russell Crowe). The movie starts as Valjean is released on parole from a 19 -year prison sentence and continues on through his trials. He acquires his ward Cosette (Isabelle Allen, Amanda Seyfried) from Fantine (Anne Hathaway), a single mother

forced into prostitution. Cosette falls in ill-fated love with Marius Pontmercy (Eddie Redmayne), after which antics and an abortive revolution follow. “Les Miz” showcases the vocal talents of a unique ensemble cast. Anne Hathaway’s voice is a smoky siren’s call that portrayed Fantine’s despair in loss of love, while Russell Crowe’s rich baritone gave the role of Javert an extra air of command and majesty. Sacha Baron Cohen as Thénardier and Helena Bonham Carter as Madame Thénardier provided excellent comic relief and delight with their clear voices. But the film was not perfect. If you’re not familiar with “Les Miz,” be warned: It was made for an audience that is already acquainted with the story. Since the entirety of the film is sung,

the names of characters and some minor plot motivations get lost in the music. This made for a few awkward transitions between scenes and songs. Another unpleasant surprise was Jackman’s tenor; Valjean would have been better played by a stronger voice. Overall, “Les Miz” was a decent movie. The only major f law in the movie was the timbre of Jackman’s voice; anything else was minor in comparison. The entire cast did an amazing job conveying their roles, especially since their voices were captured live on set with only a piano accompaniment. It’s definitely worth a matinee showing.

When the Canadian Government released its Financial Action Plan for 2012, it announced that the Royal Canadian Mint would cease production of one-cent coins later in the year. The move to scrap the penny was based on several factors, including the denomination’s limited buying power and the high cost of producing the coins – each cent produced costs the government 1.6 cents. While cutting the cent is expected to save Canadian taxpayers money – about $4 million each year and $11 million when the government stops redeeming and melting the coins in six years – a new system of rounding for cash transactions to the nearest ﬁve cents may end up costing consumers and businesses a little more. Like Canada, the U.S. also faces a penny problem because each

After 71 years, a group of Christmas letters fi nally made it to their intended recipients in 2012. The holiday greetings were written by Nazi soldiers, then occupying the British channel island of Jersey during World War II, to friends, families and fi ancées back in Germany. Although the letters were collected for mailing by the German field post office operating on Jersey at the time, they never made it to Europe. When a long-time resident of the island approached the Jersey Archive with the letters six years ago, he claimed they had been given to him by a German official who ordered him to keep them safe. The letters have now been archived and translated by experts on Jersey. The next goal, says Stuart Nicolle of the Jersey Archive, is to return all of the letters to the families of the soldiers who sent them.

long time. New evidence suggests that cheese making may have been a common activity for the prehistoric inhabitants of Europe – 7000 years ago. A study published last year by a group of scientists led by a chemist at Bristol University in the United Kingdom examined a group of pottery fragments originally unearthed in the 1970s by a group of archaeologists working in Northern Europe. Peter Bogucki, an archaeologist at Princeton University and a member of the team that unearthed the fragments, said he suspected for a long time that the original vessel was used to strain curds from whey in the cheesemaking process. Residue analysis revealed that the fragments contained traces of ancient cow’s milk. The finding, Bogucki told NPR last year, was significant because the cheese-making process, which removes most of the lactose sugar from the culturing milk, gave ancient people the ability to consume dairy products when most humans were lactose intolerant.

Finding ‘A Place to Eat’ A full menu with prices can be found on the restaurant’s website. Pictured is the Island Karaage Chicken ($11). NATHAN ICHIRIU KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

NICOLYN C HARLOT Associate Features Editor

A Place to Eat is a restaurant that opened on University Avenue in September. Its helpful website made the food look enticing, so my friend and I were excited to try it.

ATMO S P H E R E

A Place to Eat has a clean, crisp air. The room is small but not cramped and has many large windows to let sunlight in. The smell of cooking food takes over from time to time, which deﬁ nitely helps to whet the appetite. The man who took our order was charming and eager to please. He was also the chef – and apparently the only worker on staff. He seemed slightly nervous but very curious to know how we liked our food. He asked us, as well as all of his other customers, if we were satisfied. His attitude fell somewhere between “honestly wanting to please” and “desperate for fulfillment.” The main dishes range from $10 to $12, reasonable given the amount and quality of food, but

the “alternatives” (the sides, from what I gathered), are $7 each, which seems pricey. Pictures of the food can be found both on the website and the wall of the restaurant.

FOOD I ordered the Island Karaage Chicken ($11), and my friend ordered the Tofu White Curry ($10). The food was served in take-out boxes, though we opted to remain in the restaurant. We also were given plastic forks and knives rather than silverware, which made cutting the tough chicken complicated. The chicken was good but nothing special. The skin was difficult to break with the knife but tasted fine. Though juicy and freshly cooked, it did not wow my taste buds. The curry, on the other hand, was deliciously sharp and tangy. It was a vegetarian dish, though it would have also worked well if the chef had decided to incorporate meat. My friend’s only complaint was that the tofu chunks were so big that they did not absorb the ﬂ avor of the curry.

VERDICT A Place to Eat is definitely that – a place to eat. Though the chicken wouldn’t win any awards, it was good, and the curry was more than worthwhile. The atmosphere is easy-going and breezy, and everyone in the restaurant seemed to enjoy their meals as much as we did. The chef was friendly though somewhat overzealous. It is also noteworthy that the restaurant is open every day from 11 a.m. to 12 a.m., perfect for nocturnal college students. This restaurant may not have revolutionized the way I look at food, but I believe its pleasant atmosphere and appetizing menu makes it worth another visit or two.

Quick and easy exercises to fight the holiday flab A RIEL R AMOS Special Issues Editor

WO R K U P A S W E AT I N T H E B E D RO OM

Daily exercise seems like an achievable goal in the beginning of the semester. As the days turn into weeks and the homework and projects pile up, motivation and time to exercise whittle down. With last year’s resolution to exercise recurring again this year, here are a few pointers on getting in some physical activity without having to rework your schedule.

Whether it’s when you wake up in the morning or before you go to bed at night, do some crunches. Place a towel or yoga mat on the ground and lay on your back. Do 10-20 reps of the following: Regular crunch: lift shoulder blades off the floor Reverse crunch: lift hips off the floor Double crunch: lift both shoulder blades and hips off the floor Left crunch: right elbow to left knee Right crunch: left elbow to right knee

B U R N A N D E AT S OM E C A L O R I E S Exercise in the kitchen: Do some standing pushups. To tone your arms and shoulders while you wait for water to boil, stand an arm’s length from the counter or wall and proceed to do pushups against it. The farther away you stand, the more difﬁ cult the workout.

JUMP, PUSH AND SQUAT AWAY THE JIGGLE Jumping jacks get your heart rate up for cardio. This simple exercise takes three to ﬁve minutes to do 10 sets. Do the following nonstop: 10 jumping jacks 10 pushups or 10 jump squats Repeat nine more times

Thinking about a balanced diet brings to mind the food pyramid we were taught in elementary school. However, the Department of Agriculture revamped the food pyramid and renamed it MyPyramid in 2005. Six years later, MyPlate was introduced to give a different perspective on how much of each food group you should be eating daily. The chart is daily recommendations for individuals who get less than 30 minutes of physical activity per day.

Snacks don’t have to be complicated to be tasty, and they don’t have to be expensive to be healthy.. For health-conscious students on a budget, frozen foods ods have much of the nutritional value of fresh foods ds for a fraction of the price. L ow-fat choices mayy seem to sacrifice f lavor and texture, but they also reduce calories and cholesterol. Using celery or carrot sticks instead of potato chips is a great choice, but if you must have something crunchy for your dip, pick a whole-wheat cracker that is high in fiber.

INGREDIENTS: 1 package (10 oz) frozen spinach 1 cup light or low-fat mayonnaise 16 oz light or low-fat sour cream ¼ tsp salt ¼ tsp ground black pepper 1 bag reduced salt pita chips, carrot sticks or celery

ESIMPRAIM / FLICKR 1. Defrost and drain spinach 2. Mix spinach, mayonnaise, sour cream, salt and black pepper. 3. Refrigerate for an hour.

TIPS: For added flavor, mince half an onion, a can of artichoke hearts or some bell peppers and mix it into the dip before refrigerating. Dips like this can be customized to any taste with spices and hot sauce if desired.

Best: “That which is the most excellent, outstanding, or desirable.”

You can make “garbage” nachos by adding leftover meat – shredded chicken or ground beef works best. Vegetarian snackers can use tomatoes or spicy tofu instead of meat products. Guacamole and sour cream should be added after the chips have been baked.

26 WELCOME BACK

A new day for Jay M ARC A R AK AKI Editor in Chief The University of Hawai‘i has needed a permanent athletics director since July 11, 2012, when then-AD Jim Donovan was placed on an indeﬁnite leave of absence following the Stevie Wonder concert debacle. And the direction they are going with the athletics department is with someone who knows how to handle ﬁ nances.

F O RWA R D T H I N K I N G Ben Jay comes to UH Mānoa after spending six seasons as the executive associate athletics director of ﬁnance and operations with Ohio State. He was in charge of Ohio State athletics’ $132.4 million operating budget – over $100 million more than Hawai‘i’s. “We have to make sure that the controls are there and make sure that you’re operating sensibly and make sure that you’re able to try and drive and build on as many revenues as you can,” Jay said. “We’re always gonna take a look at how you spend your money and

how you’re raising it. We think that there’s much untouched that’s out there we need to get to.” The Stevie Wonder concert fallout is still foremost on many minds, but Jay is insisting on moving forward. “With the Stevie Wonder concert, there are lessons learned,” Jay said. “Obviously when you read the report, there were errors. There were mistakes made – policies that might not have been followed. Again, we are going to look into every bit of that. But I don’t like to look back. I’m looking ahead, because as I said, every time there are things that happen. You learn from that episode. You learn from that mistake. And so the kind of things that I always call every day – we learn from the teachable moments. Instances like that are teachable moments, and that’s what we’re going to do.”

BUILDING SUPPORT Jay was ofﬁcially introduced as the new athletics director on Dec. 20 in a press conference at the

Stan Sheriff Center. Jay never spent more than a vacation in the islands, but is excited to call Hawai‘i home. “You get to work with a great bunch of people in a great program – that’s what brought me here,” Jay said. “It’s everybody’s dream who works in this business to be able to work at a top institution and in a great program. As I said, the landscape with the coaches we have, the support we have – I think it’s an absolute great place to be the athletic director at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa.” The expectations of an athletics director are exponential, but Jay wants one thing for our UH Mānoa student-athletes. “Overall, in the end, we are always going to work behind the scenes to make sure that we are providing them [st udent- at h let es] with the best exper ience p os sible,” Jay said. “I want them to feel like

they come here to play in whatever sport that they’re passionate about that they’re going to have the support of the administration, support of the student body and support of the fans – so we’re gonna make sure of that.” And the student body is something that Jay is enthusiastic about. Jay received the job offer to become the next UH athletics director, he ﬂew back to Ohio State for a pep rally to celebrate the Buckeyes’ 12-0 football season. “In my experience, I worked closely with the student body to make sure that they get involved and so especially talking with student leaders across campus,” Jay said. “What is it that we can do to help get the ‘fever’ going? And I think that’s going to be important. As we start to really build ‘Warrior Nation,’ it’s going to be looking to their leadership to help us get that support.”

LOOKING AHEAD But with his $293,000 annual contract slated for three years, his vision looks much further. “The vision for the program is to make sure that all of our programs are supported – that hopefully right now we are going to compete in the Mountain West in football. And we are in the Big West in most of the other sports,” Jay said. “Obviously, we have a great basketball program. We have a great women’s volleyball program – baseball, softball. We have the ability to win that conference.” Jay has a wife, Ling, and three children, Taylor, Olivia and Bryan. “The family’s having a great time,” Jay said. “They’re a little tired for all the traveling. We went house hunting [in December] and trying to ﬁgure out where the right home is for us. That’s always the toughest when you are doing these moves. [We are] trying to ﬁnd the right place, right schools for our kids.” Jay’s anticipated start date is next Monday.

Big West move for basketball M ARC A R AK AKI Editor in Chief

With two games completed for the UH women’s basketball team and three for the men’s basketball team, both are well underway in their first seasons in the Big West Conference since 1996. But what will the Big West provide for both? According to Rainbow Wahine head coach Laura Beeman, the Big West is huge for recruiting. “ You’re in California ever y other week. W hen they were in the WAC, they were going all over the country,” Beeman said. “So being able to recruit kids and say, ‘Hey, you’re gonna play in front of your families every other week,’ I think it ’s huge if they’re a California recruit.” As a first-year head coach, Beeman already saw the benefits of moving into the Big West. She brought in three new players from California and one from Nevada into this year’s ball club. Rainbow Warrior head coach Gib A rnold also agrees that playing in California will help his team. “It gets us into our recruiting hot bed, which is in South-

ern California,” A rnold said. “So people we’re recruiting will be able to come see our games. We’re going to be able to go out and recruit ever y road trip – spend a couple of days on the front end and the back end re cruiting, so that will help us in the long run.”

H O P P I N G OV E R T H E P O N D In the Western Athletic Conference, Hawai‘i needed to travel to places as far as Ruston, La., and Moscow, Idaho. Now in the Big West, all its opponents are in California. “The travel obviously is going to be a positive for us,” Arnold said. “One, we won’t have to miss as much school. Two, we’re able to fly into LA X and bus to just about every game from there. It’s gonna help with our stamina. Near the end of the year, we were still going to travel more than any other team in America by far – it’s not even close.” Rainbow Wahine junior forward Kamilah Martin, a Big West preseason all-conference team selection, agrees with Arnold. “It ’s kind of hard because we are the only team not in California, but it will be easier not

going back to L ouisiana. Just going to California will be a lot easier for us,” Martin said.

T H E C OM P E T I T I O N Getting into the NCA A Tournament is the goal for all teams entering their seasons. A nd be ing in a conference with good teams helps get there. “ The Big West has become a ver y competitive – more competitive than ever [as a] conference,” Beeman said. “R ight now, there’s only one automatic bid. I would hope that as time goes on and the Big West continues to beat some top -caliber teams, that we could maybe become a two-team conference going into the NCA A [Tournament].” On the men’s side, A rnold said that he needed to play against the teams in the Big West to determine if the competition level is higher than the WAC, but Rainbow Warrior senior center and preseason all-conference selection Vander Joaquim sees an advantage Hawai‘i has over the other teams in the Big West. “We’re big. From what I heard, it’s a mostly guard league,” Joaquim said. “We’re big and strong inside

the paint. We have to play to our advantage.” Martin feels that there are still quesuestion marks for the Rainbow Wahine heading into the Big West. “It can be a confidence booster, ster, or it can kill our confidence,” Martin said. “Coming ing into a new confernference, we’re definitely nitely unique to the conference, so we’ree definitely looking to come in confident and get some wins right off the e bat.” Both teams will culminate their inaugural gural seasons in the Big West with the conference tournament on March 12-16.
