UNDER LEGISLATIVE WATCH A LEX BIT TER Associate News Editor

BIANCA BYSTROM PINO / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Following up on a promise to con-tinue investigation into the University off Hawai‘i’s policies and budget as a result of last year’s botched Stevie Wonder concert, Hawai‘i legislators plan to examine the costs and effectiveness of UH administrative policies along with general university spending during the current legislative session. “We have some responsibility as the ones who appropriate the money to the university to be sure that it’s being spent well,” said Sen. Brian Taniguchi, chair of the Senate Higher Education Committee. The continued scrutiny of UH leaders and practices is a reaction to last fall’s special committee hearings into the failed concert that prompted other questions from state senators and representatives, as well as the general public, about the state and effectiveness of leadership at the university. Although the hearings took place in October, the 2013 legislative session represents the first opportunity for legislators to take action and draft legislation based on the committee’s findings.

Bound for fun at ‘Boeing, Boeing’ NICOLYN C HARLOT Associate Features Editor Life doesn’t always go as expected, and Mānoa Valley Theatre’s most recent production, “Boeing, Boeing,” has fun showing just how wrong things can go. The lighthearted farce is a hysterical way to escape life’s daily toils by sitting back and enjoying the whirlwind ride of the life of Bernard, a Parisian architect with a clever scheme that winds up crash landing. Bernard spends his life balancing three beautiful airline hostesses who are all engaged to him but do not know about the others – whenever he is with one, the other two are up in the air or on layovers. He has successfully kept track of their whereabouts for years by using timetables, but a faster jet plane changes things. On the day an old school friend of Bernard’s comes to visit, all three ladies decide to show up as well, and the panicked reactions of Bernard, his friend and his somewhat loyal maid make for two hours of laughter and fun. Though I didn’t expect much when I went in, I quickly fell in love with many characters, including the cynical and smart maid, Bertha, who remained my favorite character throughout the evening – though she had some heavy competition. Each of the mistresses

has her own personality and quirks – the American is perky and eccentric, the French woman is sensual and temperamental and the German is loud and passionate, which is an understatement. The show is fast-paced and full of slapstick humor that stays strong until the curtain closes. Though most of the humor comes from crazy setups and actions, there are also several witty lines scattered throughout the play for those who prefer drier comedies. Children under the age of 14 are not permitted to watch the show, as there are several moderately sexual scenes. “Boeing, Boeing” is memorable and highly recommended to anyone craving a good laugh.

‘BOEING, BOEING’ When: Wednesday, Jan. 23 and Thursday, Jan. 24, 7:30 p.m.; Friday, Jan. 25, Friday, Feb. 1 and Saturday, Feb. 2, 8 p.m.; Sunday, Feb. 3, 4 p.m. Where: Mānoa Valley Theatre, 2833 East Mānoa Road Cost: $15 25 years old and under, $25 military and seniors, $30 adults Contact: manoavalleytheatre.com

“Boeing, Boeing” was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records in 1991 as the most performed French play in the world. COURTESY OF MALIA LEINAU

Educating coaches and students about effective conditioning K ENDRICK G O Contributing Writer Few people walk into a gym and know how to complete a proper clean, snatch, jerk or squat. The University of Hawai‘i Strength Clinic seeks to educate high-school coaches and other ﬁtness professionals who will help student-athletes lift and exercise with proper form. The two-day event, being held this weekend at the University of Hawai‘i at M ā noa, is also open for students to attend and d receive a ﬁ rsthand experience with th professional strength th c o a c h e s from around the country and staff from the Athletic Complex.

attracting high-school coaches, trainers and professionals who work with student-athletes. “Instead of having us coaching kids, we train coaches who can affect more individual lives,” Heffernan said.

SHARING THE EXPERIENCE Thomas Heffernan, a UH alumnus and the head UH strength and conditioning coordinator, started the clinic four years ago to give people in Hawai‘i the opportunity to take advantage of the same educational conference experience for strength conditioning on the mainland. “There are always these strength conventions on the mainland, but it costs a lot of money to get a ﬂ ight and pay other fees,” Heffernan said. “I wanted to provide this experience for the coaches in Hawai‘i because the state department can’t afford to send all of our coaches to the mainland to attend them.” With increasing awareness surrounding the safety of student-athletes, there is also increased attention on the professionals working with them. Because of this, the clinic aims at

Esteemed speakers of the event include U.S.A. Weightlift-

ing Hall of Famer EJ Kreis and Stanford University sports performance coordinator Shannon Turley. Other guest speakers include professors from the KRS department and representatives from the clinic sponsors. “The speakers will be educating based on their specialty so that students can learn the technical moves for Olympic movements such as a proper clean and jerk,” j , Heffernan said. “Many of the professionals from the mainfro land have told me m that this clinic is the cl best of its kind b in the country.” Money Mon one ey generated from the event is put toward repairing the Athletic Complex and allowing graduate assistants to attend other training conferences on the mainland. Graduate assistants and coaches attend conferences in order to attain certiﬁ cation and continue to provide proper training and ﬁtness education to student-athletes and those willing to learn to lift. Bringing in this article will allow students to attend the clinic for $50, which is $10 off regular student/graduate assistant rate and omits the $20 late registration fee.

Although he was not directly involved with the special committee’s work, Taniguchi said many of his concerns about UH’s management are related to the administrators themselves. In particular, the 19 -year veteran of the Senate is wary of the high salaries that many top UH officials are paid. Taniguchi explained that he understands the need of UH to pay more in hiring “the best” instructors, but wonders just how necessary it is for UH to participate in this competitive form of recruitment, which frequently involves outbidding other universities for administrators with millions of dollars. “When these kinds of salaries come up, and they have bonuses on top of the salaries, there is that sense of ‘Why are we doing this?’” Taniguchi said. He also wonders why the university has to settle suits “for people who don’t really do their job right,” as with former athletics director Jim Donovan,

who threatened to sue UH in the wake of the “Wonder Blunder.” On top of the high salaries, Taniguchi explained that the numerous individual positions, such as the vice chancellorships, make accountability and pinning responsibility for a particular decision hard. The senator said that defining and separating roles, especially for these other administrative positions, will be key as the legislature moves forward.

S L OW C H A N G E ? Despite the senator’s dissatisfaction with the university’s management, Taniguchi also admitted that change may be slow to come through the legislature. He said that while senators and representatives deal with public complaints about UH’s administration on a regular basis, they are actually in a bad position to take direct action on these matters. The managerial autonomy of the university from the rest of the state means that the legisla-

ture can only appropriate money for the UH System; any personnel decisions must be made through other bodies, such as the Board of Regents. Taniguchi expressed that it is unclear what sort of legislation could take form as a reaction to the issues at UH. “We may have to muddle along this way because that’s how things are set up unless we change laws,” he said. Looking forward, Taniguchi is reluctant to make any predictions about what will come out of the legislature this session related to the university. But he said that UH must not avoid answering important questions about how the university is run. “With regard to the incident itself, I can see where we probably need to put that behind us,” he said. “But I think it’s raised enough questions that the public as well as the legislature need some answers. ... Going forward, we need to say ‘How are we going to do this in the future?’”

COURTESY OF SHANTAL GUIRAO

Nursing alumna Shantal Guirao ranked ninth out of 215 graduating ROTC nursing cadets. CAITLIN K ELLY News Editor

Five and a half years ago, Shantal Guirao was a Waimea High School graduate on her way to pursuing a business de gree at the University of Hawai‘i at M ā noa. But a short stint in the hospital during her freshman year of college caused her to change her career plans. “The nurse who took care of me had such a tremendous impact on my experience because I did not like hospitals at all,” Guirao said. “I like how they really have such a personal relationship with the patients, much more than doctors. And I saw it as an inspiration for me to pursue a future career.” Guirao graduated from UH Manoa in fall 2012 with a bachelor’s degree in nursing. Upon graduation, she was recognized as

a Distinguished Military Graduate. This is awarded to the top 10 percent of graduating Reserve Ofﬁcers’ Training Corps cadets nationwide from all branches and majors. The rankings were based off of GPA, ROTC training, performance in a leadership assessment course, physical ﬁtness and extracurricular ROTC activities. “I feel really great,” Guirao said. “I really hope that I made my parents proud and hard work really does pay off. I’m hoping this is just the beginning of many accomplishments and milestones in my nursing career.” She attended UH on an activeduty nursing scholarship, which included tuition, fees, a book stipend, an additional monthly stipend, nursing supplies and reimbursement for licensing exam fees. In return, she will have to serve four years of active duty service as an Army nurse and four years of active reserve.

“There’s no greater reward than serving the people that serve for our country,” Guirao said. While in college, she had the opportunity to do a month-long internship at Brooke Army Medical Center in Texas. “I got to use so many skills that a lot of my peers in nursing school were not really exposed to yet,” Guirao said. It was there that her interest in emergency room nursing was sparked. She is now considering pursuing a master’s degree through the Army so she can become a nurse practitioner. “The skills I learned in ROTC are so applicable to real life, especially in nursing,” she said. “It’s [leadership is] such a big thing and is such an essential skill that you’re not born with but you can attain. And I believe I got a good handle on it through ROTC at UH.”

APPLE C I N NA MON MU F F I N S WI T H LEMON DRIZZLE Breakfast is an important meal, but it often takes a backseat when you’re dashing out of the door in the morning. Make this healthy muffin recipe during the weekend so it is ready for any busy weekday. Little sugar is needed because of the fruit’s natural sweetness, and the lemon drizzle over the top adds a tartness to satisfy morning hunger. You can substitute soymilk with nut milk, oat milk, coconut milk or rice milk.

INGREDIENTS: 2 small apples, diced 1 pear, diced ¼ cup powdered sugar ¾ cup whole-grain oat flour ¾ cup all-purpose flour 2 /3 cup unsweetened soymilk ½ cup unsweetened applesauce 2 Tbsp unsweetened coconut flakes 1 Tbsp lemon juice 2 tsp chia seeds 2 tsp ground cinnamon 2 tsp Stevia or sugar 2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS: 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. s. Spray muffin pan with nonstick spray, or line with muffin cups. 2. In a medium bowl, combine apples, pear, cinnamon and Stevia or sugar. Set aside. 3. In a large bowl, combine flours, coconut, chia seeds, salt and baking powder. Make a hole in the middle of the dry mixture, and add applesauce, soymilk and vanilla. Mix together, but do not overstir. 4. Fold in the apples and pears until evenly coated. Fill each muffin cup to the top with the mix. Bake at 400 degrees for approximately 20 minutes or until brown. 5. When muffins are cool, combine powdered sugar and lemon juice and drizzle over top. Serve immediately or keep refrigerated.

Kathryn Bigelow’s “Zero Dark Thirty” is an important film. Through its fictionalized narrative based on the aftermath of 9/11, this film dramatizes a decade of struggle that culminates in the death of Osama Bin Laden. This is not meant to be propaganda or exploitation of story; “Zero Dark Thirty” reflects the mood of a period in tension while it grounds itself in feeling as a challenging and thrilling film. Maya (Jessica Chastain), a CIA operative on the trail of Bin Laden, is the heart and inspiration of the film. Motivated to track a mysterious courier named Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti, Maya has to use her imagination and will in order to succeed. Chastain conveys Maya’s development under pressure and the toll that her job takes on her, as well as the bravery and strength that it requires. An early depiction of torture shows an extreme capacity for violence and brutality as an anymeans-necessary tactic to retrieve information. Although this scene has received backlash – the causal effect of the narrative suggests that torture was integral to the outcome – Bigelow assured critics in a recent Los Angeles Times article that her film is not an endorsement. Rather, she maintains that her film

recognizes that torture has been employed, though it may not have been the key to fi nding Bin Laden. Bigelow is more interested in moral consequences and examining how the lengths of human struggle and suffering can be horrific and compelling in nature. As “Zero Dark Thirty” progresses, with post-9/11 terrorist attacks ranging from London to Times Square appearing in real time, the intensity and surprise of the film increases, bringing a sense of urgency to Maya’s goal. Her certainty and confidence is what ultimately pushes for the mission that would end the manhunt, with the last part of the film portraying the Navy SEAL Team Six mission to infiltrate the compound. “Zero Dark Thirty” is an achievement in film reflecting reality. Bigelow guides you through tragedy and the chaos of a disheartening time of fear. The mission culminates in Maya’s reaction, and Chastain delivers a performance that imbues a profound feeling of relief, sadness, pain and exhaustion, a look questioning whether her trial and the death of one man is retribution enough for her or a nation. The tension displayed on her face will afflict and shake you enough to feel the same way.

More than a hundred new seats are now available at dining locations across campus as a part of an initiative to rebrand Student Dining Services to Mānoa Dining Services, in a partnership between Sodexo and Student Affairs. “We wanted something different, something sustainable,” Sodexo General Manager Donna Ojiri said. Dining chairs, tables and benches at the Campus Center Food Court, Taco Bell and Ba-Le at Mānoa Gardens were replaced with sustainable furniture during winter break. CCFC originally had seats for 253 people, which increased to 382 after the furniture replacement. Taco Bell now has 205 seats and Ba-Le has 114, resulting in 157 more seats for these locations combined. The purpose of the remodeling was to modernize the dining room with furniture that is good for the environment. The furniture comes from Baltix, a sustainable furniture company. The tables are made from a blend of soybean and corn biopolymer. The chairs at Taco Bell are colored grass green and each is made from about 111 recycled plastic soda bottles – this helped to recycle about 17,000 plastic bottles. The chairs at Ba-Le are made from wood, and the chairs located at the CCFC are made from wood and metal. The added benches are made from standard material, with the exception of the highly durable vinyl fabrics that were used. “We wanted to give each dining room a different personality ... to create different environments,” Ojiri said.

According to Eddie Robles, director of Student Life Business Services for Student Life and Development, the idea was to move away from cafeteria-style dining to more of a restaurant style. Funding for this project came from revenue generated by Mānoa Dining Services, which was split between Student Life and Development and Housing. There was no additional cost for replacing the dining room furniture with sustainable furniture, and the total cost for this project was about $390,000. This project is part of Sodexo’s Better Tomorrow Plan, which is part of its 14 commitments to promote a better world. Based on its commitment to “source and promote sustainable equipment and supplies,” Sodexo asked its vendors to include sustainable furniture in their recommendations. In addition to the new furniture, the Student Life and Development staff has started to replace the carpet at the CCFC and will also replace the carpet at Taco Bell. In the future, Mānoa Dining Services will look at artwork to decorate the locations alongside the new furniture. There are also plans to renovate the kitchens at Ba-Le, the CCFC, Taco Bell and the Hale Aloha Cafe. And students seem to like the changes. “I think it’s a smart move for UH,” senior Erin Yokote said.

The benefits of BRINTON R EED Contributing Writer

Chances are you have heard people talking about the health beneﬁts of buying locally produced food and about the poverty-enforcing consequences of shopping at “big box” retailers or eating at chain restaurants. What you may have overlooked is that when you buy from a local vendor, more of the money you spend stays in the local economy. This encourages local economic growth and community self-reliance. Some sources, including the Institute for Local Self-Reliance, report that anywhere from $.60 to $.75 of every dollar you spend stays within the community when you buy locally, but only $.15 to $.35 per dollar gets recirculated if you shop at big box retailers or chain restaurants. By shifting some of your regular spending toward local businesses, you can help the local economy grow, reduce the environmental impact of your purchases, improve your community and promote local culture, overall making Hawai‘i a better place to live.

BIG BUSINESS KILLS JOBS W hat about the jobs big retailers provide when they move into a communit y? It may be true that opportunities are created with the opening of a chain store, but these are t ypically low-wage jobs; over time, big retailers have a way of shutting down local businesses, and their presence can result in a net loss of local jobs. A study by David Neumark et al. in the Journal of Urban Economics show that when a Walmart opens its doors, retail employment drops by an average of 150 positions per county. Long-term, higher-paying local jobs enable people to earn and spend more money. This extra money circulating through the local economy

Environmentally, locally produced products mean less packing material and shorter travel distances, both of which reduce the carbon footprint of each purchase. Perhaps the most important beneﬁts of shopping locally comes from the fact that business owners usually live in the community and have a vested interest in maintaining the quality of life there. In contrast, “big box” stores are less likely to be conscious of environmental regulations and more likely to violate or exploit them.

K A M AʻA I N A C U LT U R E Small businesses are able to offer unique and innovative products and services based on local demand. Competition and diversity among such businesses result in a broader range of locally ﬂ avored consumer choices and become a

part of a distinctive character or culture of a community. Large chain retailers, on the other hand, offer products and services that are chosen by executives living in other places – you buy what they choose. Variety in products and services has been shown to increase tourism revenue and local entrepreneurship. We often buy at “big box” stores or chains because they are convenient, familiar and cheap, but ask yourself what the real cost of shopping is. Instead of using Home Depot for home repairs, drop by City Mill; when grocery shopping, give Foodland or a farmers’ market the nod over Safeway; and if you want to dine out, leave the Cheesecake Factory to the tourists and support local sustainability at Sweet Home Waimanalo. Buying locally helps define and preserve the cultural tastes and preferences of a community, so be an active member and contribute, even as a consumer, to where you live.

All in the family “I have been dating my boyfriend for nine months. I really like him, but my family can’t stand him. They’re always complaining about him, they don’t want him coming to our house, they don’t want me to go anywhere with him and they’ve made it clear that they don’t like him. I don’t have any intention of breaking up with him – in fact, I see us being together for a very long time – so how can I deal with their concerns while still doing what I want to do?” QUINCY GREENHECK Web Editor

A RIEL R AMOS Special Issues Editor

Family support and approval of whom we date is important because most of us are stuck with the families we were born into. With that in mind, it’s understandable that you’re concerned about your predicament. To start unraveling your problem, I’d reﬂect on all the criticism your family has made so far. Is any of it true? Can you see the logic behind their opinions? It is hard for lovers to be objective when it comes to judging the character of their signiﬁcant others, but try. Emotional attachment sometimes blinds us to what outsiders notice. Listen to what your family has to say, but make an honest evaluation of your boyfriend for yourself. If you think your family is unfair and that your boyfriend is a good match for you, then stay with him. If not, they may be on to something.

First off, is there a good reason why your family does not like him? Maybe you are trying to turn a blind eye to it. It is expected that family members will insist that you can do better. Getting your own place or living in a dorm is the easiest way to keep your family out of your business, but it is also costly. However, take the time to listen and critically analyze what your family is saying about your boyfriend. If your family is complaining just for the sake of complaining, then they will have to grow to accept your relationship as they come to realize that you two aren’t going to break up.

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION

How Google Maps can save the environment PHIL POTTER Contributing Writer

Like Chris Parnell in Saturday Night Live’s viral “Lazy Sunday” video, it’s likely that you’ve “hit up Yahoo! Maps to ﬁnd the dopest route” to your destination. As smartphones boasting GPS functionality permeate our daily lives, digital mapping tools have become more indispensable. Even so, many people are unaware of the key role that digital mapping has played in applications outside of our simple day-today navigation queries. Scientists have taken advantage of powerful geographic information systems – think Google Maps on steroids – to better understand our changing natural environment.

Science is spatial, and the majority of data we collect and analyze in the natural sciences has a “where” component. Viewing data from a spatial perspective unlocks secrets that can enhance our comprehension and understanding of processes at work.

I N P R AC T I C E Here are a few examples of how GIS is being utilized at UH Mānoa to tackle some of our most pressing environmental problems: Mark Chynowyth, who recently graduated with a master’s degree in natural resources and environmental management, used GIS to quantify the movement patterns and habitat selection of nonnative feral goats across a Hawaiian dry forest landscape. Feral goats are a threat to native plant and animal species and act as a critical barrier to ecological restoration of many island ecosystems. Using GIS software, Chynowyth was able to map habitat features and monitor feral goat movement with GPS collars. Under-

standing feral goat movements and their interactions with the landscape can help prioritize our conservation efforts in some of Hawai‘i’s most threatened ecosystems. Lisa Ellsworth, a Ph.D. candidate in fi re ecology, has used GIS to quantify the rates of land cover conversion since 1950 following repeated wildfi re events in and around two heavily managed areas at Schofield Barracks and Makua Military Reservation on O‘ahu. Ellsworth’s results demonstrate that conversion from forest to nonnative grassland significantly impacts current and future fi re risk. I also used GIS when calculating metrics, which quantified the patterns of growth of mangroves on the island of O‘ahu. Mangroves are a nonnative species in Hawai‘i that have spread rapidly and impacted local waterways, archaeological sites, native plants and birds. I interpreted these spatial metrics in a way that helps forecast the future trajectory of mangrove invasion and the impact of this growth on native water birds.

I T ʼS YO U R T U R N Geospatial technology continues to mature and evolve. Data is collected more frequently and at a higher level of detail than ever imagined. For example, Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) systems use airborne laser sensors to create a high-resolution proﬁle of ground features. These technologies can be used to create 3D models, estimate the ability of plants to help offset our carbon emissions or model the ﬂow of water across the Earth’s surface. Familiarity with GIS is becoming a marketable skill set in

the natural sciences. Introductory classes offered at UH Mānoa include: NREM 477 (GIS for Resource Managers), ANTH 477 (Introduction to GIS for Anthropologists), GG 461 (Geospatial Information) and PLAN 473 (GIS for Community Planning). The next time you’re looking up your house on Google Earth or mapping the fastestt route to the beach, step back and think about the powerful geospatial tools at your ﬁngertips and how you might use them to better understand the world around you.

Kamilah Martin shows commitment and determination JEREMY NIT TA Associate Sports Editor

When sports fans consider some of the greatest Rainbow Wahine to play at the University of Hawai‘i, names like All-American Judy Mosely and Nani Cockett often come to mind. But soon, these UH legends will have to make room for another player to join their ranks, and her name is Kamilah Martin. Martin, a junior forward out of Oakland, Calif., notched her 1,000th career point on a free throw in a 71-63 victory against UC Davis last week, becoming the 17th Rainbow Wahine to achieve that feat and just the sixth to accomplish it in three years of playing. “I actually didn’t know, because it was in the middle of the game,” Martin said. “Kanisha [Bello] came over to me and was like ‘Congratulations!’ and I was like ‘For what?’ And that’s when she told me I had hit 1,000 points. I couldn’t really celebrate it then because we still had a game to win, but after the team congratulated me, and the coaches congratulated me, so it’s great to get that achievement out of the way.” Nevertheless, her teammates did not hesitate to give Martin the praise they feel she deserves. “Scoring 1,000 points for any player is impressive, whether it’s in their senior year, their junior year or

any point in their career,” junior guard Sydney Haydel said. “For her to do it this early in her junior year is an incredible thing to have witnessed, and I can’t wait to see what else she does in the next season and a half.”

NOT ABOUT NUMBERS Martin did acknowledge the importance of her achievement but points to a larger goal that exists beyond her numbers. “I think just getting the 1,000 was special. … But for me, I’m not focused on stuff like that,” Martin said. “For me, it’s all about getting the wins.” This year, Martin has the Rainbow Wahine achieving those desired wins. Martin is averaging a careerhigh 16.1 points per game, third best in the Big West, and 9.6 rebounds per game, which is second best. Martin is also shooting a career-best with 51.1 percent from the ﬁeld, which ranks third in the Big West, all while playing a careerhigh 32.2 minutes per contest, sixth best in the conference. Most importantly, Hawai‘i boasts a 4-2 conference record, which is good for second in the Big West.

MO R E T H A N S TAT S Somewhat lost in the glow of Martin’s scoring prowess are two other statistics that Martin is excelling at. Also against UC Davis, Martin

grabbed her 303rd career offensive rebound, moving into second place all-time in UH history. Martin also sits just ﬁve total rebounds away from tying former UH standout Tanya Smith for third place in career rebounds. Despite the prestige that comes with scoring, these feats actually hold more value with Martin. “[The rebounding records] means more,” Martin said. “It’s what I do, and it’s my role on the team. I take a lot of pride in my rebounding.” “Mia really locks into a game, and when she makes a commitment to go and get a rebound, she is going to get that rebound,” head coach Laura Beeman said. “So having those kind of rebounding numbers says a lot about her character, her effort and her commitment to the game.” However, Martin’s stats do not reflect what her teammates value most about her. “I think that she’s going to walk away from this as a great teammate, having helped her teammates out and making them better,” Haydel said. “She’s going to be known for giving her all, day in and day out. She comes to play hard every day and helped us to all get better.” Hawai‘i (8-9, 4-2 Big West) returns home to face Cal Poly (10 -6, 4-1 Big West) on Thursday and UC Santa Barbara (6 -11, 2-3 Big West) on Saturday. Both games will be played at 7 p.m.

‘Bows look to make a ‘Golden State’ment JOEY R AMIREZ Sports Editor

Heading into last Saturday’s tilt with UC Davis, the Rainbow Warrior basketball team (10-8, 4-3 Big West) had won all four conference home games thus far in the season. However, the Aggies downed the ‘Bows 93-82, and now UH must play four straight Big West games far from home. “It was a tough one, obviously, to lose – one that you hope you could win, especially going on with four straight road games,” head coach Gib Arnold said. “But we’re going to have to take the challenge. We’re going to have to toughen up and make a run on the road.” Hawai‘i has struggled as the away team this season, evident in its 0-3 record on the mainland. This includes a pair of conference losses by four points apiece.

TA M I N G MU S TA N G S Awaiting the Rainbow Warriors in the Golden State is Cal Poly (7-9, 3-3 BWC).

The Mustangs began Big West play with three straight victories, including wins against Long Beach State and UC Irvine, who defeated the ‘Bows. Following that matchup will be one against UC Santa Barbara (7-10, 3-3 BWC), who is currently riding a twogame win streak.

ʻU P H I L L BAT T L E ʼ Initially the ‘Bows seem to have the advantage, given UCSB’s -4.5 scoring margin – second worst in the conference. The ‘Bows also hope to take advantage of the Gauchos’ league-low 4.5 steals per game, seeking to cut down on its conference – second worst 16.3 turnovers per contest. “We gotta continue not to turn the ball over,” Arnold said. “We got to pick up the intensity to turn other teams over and continue to do what we’ve done all year. We have rebounded, and we do share the ball.” However, UCSB has the services of sophomore forward Alan Williams to rely

WOMEN’S

on. The Phoenix, Ariz., native is almost averaging a double-double with 17.4 points (fourth in Big West) and 9.9 rebounds (leads Big West) per game.

ASCENDING RANKS Hawai‘i is currently tied for third in the Big West, behind Paciﬁc (10-8, 4-2 BWC) and Long Beach State (10-8, 6-1 BWC). But if the ‘Bows want to be No. 1, they will need to get their road act together – seven of their ﬁ nal 11 conference matchups are in California. “Boys can win at home, but it takes men to win on the road,” Arnold said.
