UH staff reported at 12:20 p.m. that a portion of the exterior wall on the seventh f loor of Saunders Hall had broken off and fallen to the ground. Campus Security found four pieces of the concrete exterior in the grass on the side of the building facing the Queen Lili‘uokalani Center and taped off the area for safety reasons. No one was reported injured, and damages were still being assessed at the time of the report.

At approximately 8:25 a.m., CS discovered that a portion of the Krauss Hall roof had been blown off by the high winds. The pieces fell on the Diamond Head side of the building near Sakamaki Hall, with damage done to the lead ridge cap that runs from top to bottom along the corner of the roof. The area was blocked off with red security tape as of Monday. Damage costs had not been determined by the time of the report.

An assistant professor reported at 10:14 a.m. that a fluorescent light fi xture began to make crackling sounds before bursting into flames.

The assistant professor turned the light switch off and aired out the smoke from the room. Upon inspection by an electrician, the ballast was determined as the source of malfunction. It was replaced; however, the flames blackened the ceiling and the plastic light cover.

CS received a report of property damage involving a wooden door and a plastic washbasin at the Jakuan Tea Hut. The reporting student first observed the damage on Jan. 5 – the washbasin had been moved and disassembled, and the door had a square hole broken out from the center. The cost for repairs is unknown at this time.

A smoke or heat detector near the rooftop laundry room malfunctioned twice in Hale Aloha Lokelani at 4:57 p.m. and 7:26 p.m. Full evacuations were performed both times with CS and the Honolulu Fire Department responding to the alarms.

The smoke detector in the main lobby set off another false alarm on Jan. 3 at 10:18 a.m., which led to an evacuation of the building again.

UH seeks ‘visible difference’ in facilities Chancellor Apple’s most common complaint at his second campus-wide conversation had to do with safety on campus and the condition of facilities.

Chipped paint, stained floors and mismatched furniture are common sources of complaint at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa; the classroom makeover project is looking to bring some relief to ailing buildings.

Two classrooms, Watanabe 113 and 114, were renovated during winter break as part of a larger effort to refresh classrooms that could use minor repairs. An outside contractor installed new flooring and whiteboards, painted the walls and created accent walls before the start of the semester. In addition to these changes, new furniture will be ordered, delivered and installed during the summer.

“One thing we all see very directly and fi rsthand is the state of the classrooms, so it wasn’t a particularly surprising suggestion,” Interim Associate Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Krystyna Aune said. “It [renovation] makes perfect sense for all of us. It’s relatively obvious – we hear it from students, graduate students, instructors, faculty, staff.”

AC A D E M I C E N V I RO N M E N T Renovations made to each classroom will vary depending on what is deemed necessary, but the ultimate goal is to provide a more effective teaching and learning space.

“Classrooms shouldn’t just be fixed chairs facing one direction with an instructor, but rather being able to move quickly and efficiently in teams, group space, breaking out and coming back together,” Aune explained.

A committee, which included the university scheduler and members from the Office of Faculty Development and Academic Support and the Office of Physical, Environmental and Long Range Planning, determined which classrooms would benefit the most from a surface-level makeover – usage and size of the rooms as well as the number of complaints were taken into consideration before making any decisions.

“The prioritization of the list came from a committee decision with the team of folks who know firsthand and get the calls,” Aune said.

C O N T I N U I N G R E N OVAT I O N If an underlying major problem was found, such as electrical system maintenance, the classroom was taken off the list for this project. However, rooms are still being slated for renovation during the summer as part of a different project.

“We really wanted to see a visible difference relatively quickly within the academic year,” Aune explained.

“Dealing with facilities and procurement, going out to bid and doing construction work, and if it involves electrical, then it really takes a long time.”

The UHM Outreach College is funding the project with a budget of $700,000 to be used for fl ooring, paint, ceiling tiles, white boards, chair rails, tables, chairs and tablet chairs. These funds are non-recurrent, but more money may be secured for makeovers in upcoming fi scal years.

This project has been in the making since summer 2012 and resurged after discussions between the Outreach College Dean Bill Chismar, Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Reed Dasenbrock and Chancellor Tom Apple.

Twenty-two rooms across campus have yet to be renovated as a part of this classroom makeover project. They will likely be completed in the summer, though the exact timeline has not yet been confirmed.

SAVE MONEY. FINISH COLLEGE ON TIME. Most students enter college thinking they’ll graduate on time. Unfortunately, that doesn’t happen very often. In Hawai‘i, on average, full-time students take 5.8 years to earn a 4-year degree.

This means more time and more money. At UH Mąnoa, you can save as much as $12,000 on a bachelor’s degree if you take 15 credits per semester and graduate on time. Besides tuition and fees, not finishing on time also costs you more in terms of lost income!

Back-to-school accessories K ARISSA MONTANIA Staff Writer With the holidays behind us, it’s time to start thinking about what’s ahead. With another semester comes new classes, schedules and looks.

Here are some accessories to add to your wardrobe.

L OA D O F F YO U R BAC K To update your fall wardrobe, the best way to start is by changing your bag. Don’t think that oversized purses are your only options for lugging around a lot – while still a popular choice, the more functional backpack is coming back.

Backpacks work better for heavier loads because they distribute the weight between your shoulders instead of burdening just one. Instead of generic zipper bags, canvas backpacks with a fl ap on the top and strings that tie at the bottom are both trendy and practical. They come in various styles, such as fl oral print or nautical stripes, and often have zippers and buckles on the outside to keep everything in place.

If you’re still hanging on to your purses, go for those with sturdy straps. Purses with bright colors and details such as tassels or studs help them to stand out as well.

LIGHT WINTER WEAR

EYEWEAR

Other essential accessories for your wardrobe are scar ves and hats. It can be difficult to wear scar ves in 70 to 80 degree weather, and the knitted wool can get uncomfortable when warm. Instead, tr y lightweight scar ves made of cotton or silk, which feel breezy and comfortable.

Headwear such as knitted berets or fedoras can provide a simple, casual look and can bring your outfit together. Since berets come in an array of colors, from a shade of cream and white all the way to the brightest blue, they allow you to mix and match with any outfit.

Keep your eyes protected from the sun with fashionable yet effective sunglasses. Aviators, with their sleek shapes and frames, are classic choices for guys and girls, while Ray Ban Wayfarers can keep you looking cool with thick frames in the heat. Cheaper imitations are also widely available.

Opinions LETTER TO THE EDITOR Green energy or green scheme?

Moloka‘i, the Friendly Isle, has been the focal point of a plan to build 90 windmills on the west side of the island. The Hawaiian Electric Company and Moloka‘i Ranch have joined Biological Capital, a mainland company, to construct these windmills to supply electric power to O’ahu. The federal government has promised tax subsidies, while Gov. Neil Abercrombie has indicated his approval of this plan.

As of the latest 2012 poll taken on Moloka‘i by I Aloha Moloka‘i, 93 percent of people disapprove of the windmill project. The windmills will require 17 square miles of undeveloped land, and a cable will need to be placed in the ocean to connect the windmills on Moloka‘i to O’ahu. The plan has continued to move forward despite community opposition and suspicion of the corporations behind it.

The people of Moloka‘i believe that the construction of the windmills will create irreparable ecological, social and cultural damage to the island. A few years ago, the people of Moloka‘i were told the project would not proceed if the community did not support it. The community spoke, yet the promises were not kept. Nobody denies that clean energy is needed, but the people of Moloka‘i cannot help but feel that this project is purely for the financial gain of a few. The health risks to humans and animals (e.g. cardiovascular, cancer risks) have been well-documented in the latest scientific studies published in The Honolulu Star-Advertiser, The Moloka‘i Dispatch and other national and international publications.

Alternatives lie in the reduced consumption of fossil fuels, and there are numerous, already-proven technologies such as individual solar power. Wind power has not proven itself as a viable, self-sustaining resource that can operate on its own without the benefits of tax incentives provided by the federal government. No wind project has ever been shown to decrease the use of fossil fuels, as diesel generators are needed to backup the windmills in periods of no or low wind.

Despite the questionable benefits for O’ahu, the guaranteed negative impacts for Moloka‘i are many, according to I Aloha Moloka‘i: “A 10-25 percent reduction of the West Moloka‘i property values and rental incomes; a 30 percent increase in electricity bills; destruction of many archaeological and sacred sites … construction impacts (dust, blasting, traffic jams, etc.) will be huge for years; turbines are very loud and can be heard for up to five miles; many birds will be killed; the cable will go through the Southern Moloka‘i Reef (the largest in the U.S.) and will impact the endangered Hawaiian monk seals, whales, dolphins and turtles due to the electromagnetic fields and construction.”

Because more than 70 percent of the residents of Maunaloa Town are below the poverty line with their main source of food coming from fishing and hunting from the lands that the windmills will be built on, their way of living will be demolished.

These windmills will destroy the natural habitats of the island along with the people living there. Moloka‘i is being given nothing in return for the construction of these windmills and will be left with an industrial wasteland. Moloka‘i is priceless, and if the people of Moloka‘’i don’t stand up for it, who will?

Awkward positions “My fiancé wants me to try new ‘positions’ in bed. I’m super shy even though he’s not the first guy I’ve been with, but I still can’t tell him that I’m uncomfortable with the things he’s suggesting. I can barely say the names of the various parts involved in the whole thing, let alone explain to him which actions make me feel weird. Nothing he’s saying would hurt me or anything, but I’m still embarrassed. I don’t want to tell him no because I like being intimate with him, especially since he will be my husband one day. How do I turn him down without turning him off?”

QUINCY GREENHECK Web Editor

You’re getting married, and marriage – just like every long-term relationship – requires effective communication. By being too embarrassed to give your opinion, you’re doing a disservice to your relationship, yourself and your fiancé. Simply put, you need to get over your shyness before you worry about what his reaction will be toward your unwillingness to participate. So, figure out what you’d like to say to him. Then write it down. Read it aloud to get comfortable hearing yourself talk about it. Then tell him. Take it by the horns; there’s simply no other way about it. Marriage requires dialogue to get st m ost p roblem ms. Initiat te one. past most problems.

A RIEL R AMOS Special Issues Editor

If you don’t feel comfortable, you need to tell him, and he should respect that. However, there needs to be a bit of compromise – especially since this is the man you want to spend the rest of your life with. Trying new positions doesn’t have to be an all-or-nothing approach. Warm up to each other and the idea of trying something new by getting over your shyness. Ask questions and talk about your wants, likes and dislikes when it comes to sex.

Remind your fiancé to be patient with you as you ease into being more intimate. Until then, you can make suggestions about trying another position if you don’t agree with the one he suggests.

Also, there is no embarrassment in learning your body and becoming more comfortable with yourself through masturbation or reading a few how-to’s. I would recommend Lou Paget’s “How to be a Great Lover” to start off. Paget is a certified American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors and Therapists sex educator and travels around the world to give seminars on relationships, sexuality and health.

Warriors from across the globe M ADDIE SAPIGAO Staff Writer The University of Hawai‘i men’s volleyball team searched near and far for its players this year. This included locals, transfers and international athletes from all around the world.

ON THE MARKS

Sophomore and Germany native JP Marks has been a key player for the Warriors. He played in all 27 matches last season as outside hitter and started for Hawai’i in its first two matches against BYU this season.

“It’s completely opposite,” Marks said. “People are so much friendlier here, so much more respectful; it’s nice. The whole atmosphere is more chill. The food and weather are completely opposite.”

Coming from afar, many of the international athletes only go home for winter and summer breaks, which are sacrifices that many of the Warriors make in order to play.

“When I was young, I moved a lot, and I lived in Thailand, too,” Marks said. “The experience to see different cultures and to meet people who see things a different way expands your horizon. And you realize that everything is different. [It] depends on who you are and where you are from.

There are different lifestyles. You just

have to respect everyone’s opinion.”

Marks was met with a familiar face when he came to UH. Anton Willert, the Warriors’ team manager and video coordinator, had previously coached Marks on the German junior national team.

ʻO U T S I D E ʼ H I T T E R S Two more international players who have been contributing to Hawai’i since last season are sophomores Brook Sedore from Canada and Johann Timmer from New Zealand.

For Sedore, coming to UH to play college volleyball has always been a long-term goal inspired by his father.

“I’ve wanted to come to Hawai‘i since I was a little kid,” Sedore said.

“My dad used to coach me when I was like 14 years old. He used to make us do these goals. One of the sections of goals was for longterm achievements. He showed me these goals a week before I left to Hawai‘i last year. My fi rst long-term goal was to attend the University of Hawai‘i on a volleyball scholarship.

Five years later, here I am. I never really heard about UH. I was just kinda grown up into it. My dad was always a fan of the university and the Hawaiian lifestyle, so he kinda directed me to achieve my goals.”

Sedore’s lifestyle is similar in

the volleyball aspect, but thee locals of Hawai‘i are different from what he is used to back home.

“The difference between tween home and Hawai‘i is the style yle of people that you interact with ith on a day-to-day basis,” Sedoree said.

“The culture of people in Alberta is kind of like a southern American kind of comparison. n. You could almost say I come from a ‘redneck’ style of living. ing.

[There is] a lot of hunting, ng, big trucks, motor sports, s, chewing tobacco and an n obsession for hockey.”

Meanwhile, Timmer’s r’s life back in New Zealand is quite similar to his in Hawai‘i.i.

“It’s been really easy,”” Timmer said. “The landscape is very ry similar to New Zealand with beaches hes and islands. Ethnicities are also very ry similar.”

Despite the differencess between home and Hawai‘i, UH’s coaching ching style may not be what many of the he international players are used too. Marks and Sedore both had technique-oriented e-oriented practices as opposed to those se that are more scrimmage-focused.

“It’s a dog fight every day in the gym to get playing time,” Sedore dore said.

Rounding out the international rnational players is a pair of freshmen, n, outside hitter Sinisa Zarkovic from Serbia and opposite Iain McKellar of England.

This season, DeAngelis averages 5.9 points per game and has a teamhigh 26 assists. Head coach Laura Beeman recruited DeAngelis and was pleased with her progress this season.

“She’s [DeAngelis] handled the pressure well,” Beeman said. “‘Mo’ didn’t get a ton of minutes when she was at LMU so to put her into a position where you’re a starting point guard: You’re going to get minutes.

man has seen her helping the other players as well.

“She [DeAngelis] teaches these girls how to study and how to be responsible in the classroom,” Beeman said. “‘Mo’ is a very good student. So to take her graduate classes as serious as she does, I think the girls look up to her not only on the court but off the court as well.

She’s a really good overall leader for us.”

You have to be a leader. She’s handled the pressure well. She had her good moments, and she’s had her not-sogood moments.”

But it was her work in the classroom that showed her maturity.

DeAngelis earned her bachelor’s degree in business administration from LMU in four years and is now in graduate school in UH’s educational administration program.

“As a grad student, [it’s easier to be on a sports program] probably because I have three classes and it’s easier to focus on basketball, but since I’ve done my undergraduate and I know what the balance of basketball and school should be – it’s probably easier for me,” DeAngelis said.

e

Monica “Mo” DeAngelis came to Hawaiʻi because she wanted a new experience. DeAngelis spent the last four seasons at Loyola Marymount University. She redshirted in the 2008-09 season and saw increased playing time in each of her next three seasons. As a junior, DeAngelis averaged 5.8 points per game in 15.8 minutes per game of playing time.

“I learned a lot of things in my career there, and I think I grew not as a player but more as an individual,” DeAngelis said. “I wasn’t satisfied with my three years at LMU. I wanted something more. I wanted a different kind of basketball program – a different set of coaches and a different set of teammates. [I wanted] basically a brand-new system and try to get a brand-new experience, and I think I

definitely got that here.”

And when DeAngelis came to University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa as a senior point guard, she inherited two leadership roles.

“It’s very tough to come in as a senior, especially when you don’t know anyone,” DeAngelis said. “You’re pretty much already expected to be a leader as a senior.”
