University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa students are taking action to prohibit unsustainable products on campus. Volunteers have collected about 1,000 signatures promoting the ban of Styrofoam, and they will have a table in front of Jamba Juice this month to add more names to their petition. This campaign is similar to the Surfrider Foundation movement to ban plastic bags, which began at UH before it went statewide. The Surfrider campaign culminated with legislation to make plastic bags illegal by 2015. The goal of this petition is to gather 3,000 signatures pledging against Styrofoam use and present
them to Chancellor Tom Apple. “You need to start small, communal, local; this is just a starting point,” said Surfrider Foundation member Matthias Keller, who is leading the campus petition. Jamba Juice, L&L Barbeque and Ba-Le use Styrofoam products, and the group hopes to force these locations to switch to more sustainable material. This idea fits into UH’s 2011-2015 strategic plan, which states the need for “Mānoa to prioritize environmental, cultural and economic sustainability so we can become an international leader in this area.”
W H Y S T Y RO F OA M? Keller explained that Styrofoam is the “opposite of sustainability.” It is made from petroleum,
which is “a finite resource,” and as a finished product, it is not recyclable or biodegradable. Styrofoam often reaches the ocean, where it “doesn’t decompose” and instead breaks down into smaller pieces that can be ingested by marine organisms. Keller said that perhaps the most immediate danger posed by Styrofoam is its potential for negative health impacts on humans. “Studies have shown that it is a negative carcinogen, and that in hot food substances, chemicals are leached out into the product,” Keller said. “It has also been known to damage female reproductive organs.”

Francisco when a 10-year-old girl, Mia Hansen, started one on change. org that asked Jamba Juice to replace their Styrofoam cups, receiving more than 130,000 signatures. Jamba Juice responded to this petition by saying that they “expect to phase out the use of polystyrene [Styrofoam] by the end of 2013,” according to thegreeneconomy.com. Ba-Le has made changes by replacing their Styrofoam bowls, with a cardboard plant-based product that is recyclable and renewable. Keller, along with other volunteers, will be collecting signatures in front of Jamba Juice at Campus us Center every Monday and Thurssday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. As of Feb. b. 4, the petition gains approximately ly 200 signatures each day.

JUST FINISHED ‘30 ROCK’ Watch online Seasons 1-6 available on Netfl ix
After seven seasons, “30 Rock” aired its last episode on Jan. 31. The show followed Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) as she produced “TGS with Tracy Jordan” while juggling volatile characters like her boss Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) and actor Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan). Because of her stressful work schedule, Lemon tries and fails at everything from dating to staying in shape. “30 Rock” took us into the mind of Fey, one of America’s funniest women. Her running gags, ability to make fun of herself and plethora of guest actors, like Jon Hamm, will hook you into watching every episode. The show slowed a bit in the sixth season, but in its fi nal season, “30 Rock” came back strong, and the audience fi nally got to see life go Lemon’s way.
J U S T S TA R T E D ‘THE FOLLOWING’ Watch on TV Mondays at 9 p.m. on Fox Watch online hulu.com/the-following “The Following” tracks Ryan Hardy (Kevin Bacon), a former FBI detective put back on the force when a serial killer he caught years ago escapes from prison. Back to “write more,” serial killer Dr. Joe Carroll (James Purefoy) gains “followers” to help him carry out killings – designed around the works of his hero Edgar Allen Poe – and get revenge on Hardy. Bacon’s character is uncompelling and dull, but the “followers” make the show a must-watch. Throughout the story we learn each follower’s story and the reason they joined the cult. Because the followers are unaware of Carroll’s master plan, it makes the viewer tense and unsure who can be trusted or who will die next.
COMEDY CENTRAL
N E E D T O WAT C H ‘WORK AHOLICS’ Watch on TV Wednesdays at 9 p.m. on Comedy Central. Watch online comedycentral.com/shows/ workaholics “Workaholics” is 14 episodes into its third season. The sitcom follows characters Adam DeMamp (Adam DeVine), Blake Henderson (Blake Anderson) and Anders Holmvik (Anders Holm) – three men who are the bros who never fully grew up. Living together and working for a telemarketing company, the characters try hard to live as adults – it is their failure to succeed in this that keeps the viewer laughing. Other highlights are pot dealer friend Karl and coworkers Montez and Jillian. If this doesn’t sound intriguing to you, Google “Wizard Rap.” Just do it.

Armstrong is currently being investigated by the federal government for obstruction, witness tampering and intimidation.
Armstrong defeated testicular cancer and went on to win the Tour de France seven consecutive times. I believe that he single-handedly got America interested in a sport that, let’s face it, we just didn’t care about. He has a great story, and America loves an underdog. He’s overcome the adversity of illness and accomplished a lot in his life. To be honest, I could care less that he used performanceenhancing drugs. However, I do care that he lied while he carried the country on his back and started a foundation that raised millions of dollars to help others. He even went so far as to sue friends, teammates and colleagues who told the truth about him. Remember when everyone was wearing those yellow Livestrong bands? I never did. I never bought into it because I learned a long time ago that our heroes – especially our sports stars – are only human, which means they’re f lawed. Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, Barry Bonds, Tiger Woods – the list goes on. They are all held in the highest regard not because of their character, but because they can shoot a rubber ball or swing a piece of wood. Lance Armstrong stood for something more since his fame transcended sports; he stood for resilience and the desire to live and never give up. Forget about the steroids, which isn’t the issue
here – he lied to everyone. He made us believe again and then reminded us why we shouldn’t.
MO R E H U M B L E H E RO E S How many times have we worshipped athletes as heroes for no other reason than their physicality? Yes, their skills are somewhat impressive, but do these people take good care of their children and are they faithful to their spouses? Do they help others? Are they ethical or have they changed humanity for the better? That’s what I care about, and these are the marks of a true hero. I’m sick of the stigma of respecting sports stars. Most of my heroes are no longer living – people like Julius Caesar, Benjamin Franklin and George Carlin. The people I look up to now can’t dunk a basketball or run the 40 under 4.5 seconds; they are people of substance and character and have left a legitimate footprint on the world. They are people like Noam Chomsky, Ralph Nader and Richard Dawkins. They’re older, accomplished and haven’t let me down – at least not yet. Choose your own idols and don’t let society choose them for you. It doesn’t have to be someone famous either. Maybe it could be someone who is ethical, humble and charitable, or perhaps a parent or mentor – someone who means something to you. People are too quick to idolize sports stars – being able to catch a ball doesn’t make you a hero, and throwing it doesn’t make you a legend. Can we think twice when the next big thing starts breaking records and before we start worshipping these multi-millionaires who probably don’t care about us anyway? Let’s all take a deep breath, exhale and remember to choose who we look up to more carefully.

Nutritional advice for college student wellness
Four tips for Healthy living Eat good sources of protein Choose fresh produce
PHOTO COURTESY OF MARIA STEWART
CAITLIN K ELLY News Editor Though Dr. Maria Stewart has earned master’s and doctoral degrees in human nutrition, she had much to learn when she moved to Hawai’i in 2009. Stewart lived in the Midwest until accepting a job as an assistant professor at the University of Hawai‘i at Mā noa, and she immediately noticed a difference between the food culture of both areas. “When I moved here, probably my fi rst two semesters, I learned so much from my students,” Stewart explained. “In the Midwest, we eat a very meat-and-potatoes-type diet. There are huge differences, especially in the staple carbohydrates and with fruits and vegetables that are available.” These differences in diet prompted Stewart’s current research projects and also affect the advice that she has for college students in Hawai‘i regarding a healthy lifestyle.
S TAY I N G F U L L L O N G E R If you know you’re going to be stuck in class for hours without a chance to eat, Stewart recommends consuming good sources of protein.
Protein will keep you feeling satisfied for a longer period than carbohydrates, though both are essential to a balanced diet. However, the way that college students in Hawai‘i consume their protein may differ from their counterparts in the continental U.S. “If I were speaking to someone in Minnesota, I would be talking more about intake of meats like pork, beef, chicken and pretty much exclude fish,” Stewart said. “Here, we can get fresh fish at the grocery store, out to eat, at the deli; we eat it raw and cooked, so that’s a huge difference in protein sources.”
CHOOSE FRESH FOOD As a general rule of thumb, choose foods that do not come in a box or package. “Food without packages are going to have better nutritional quality,” Stewart said. “Not always, but a lot of times it’ll be less energy dense, meaning you’ll get more food and less energy, so you’ll feel fuller without eating quite as many calories.” You can also take advantage of fresh produce that is more readily found in Hawai‘i, such as mango and papaya, or more universal foods such as carrot sticks
or bell peppers. If you don’t like fruits and vegetables, don’t be afraid to dress them up. “A ranch dip, for example, will actually make some of the nutrients in our carrots get into our cells easier,” Stewart said. “So we’ll get more nutritional benefits if you dip your carrots in ranch than if you just ate them plain.”
S OA K U P T H E S U N It’s warm year round in Hawai‘i, which gives residents a unique opportunity to stay active. “In northern climates, when it gets to Februar y, you don’t want to go outside because it ’s snowing and miserable. Here we can go outside and paddle, run, cycle and surf, and we can do whatever we want outside pretty much all year round,” said Stewart, who enjoys hiking, swimming and cycling. She noted that it’s a rare sight in many large cities to see a wide array of people using public parks to exercise. “When you go out to Kapi‘olani Park in the morning and see how many people are out moving their body, it’s pretty remarkable, especially if you come from the mainland,” Stewart said.
Avoid boxed or packaged foods Exercise when you can

Anjali Shah is a home chef, but this makes the recipes that can be found on her blog easy to mimic and tasty to “normal people” – especially because all of her dishes are “husbandapproved.” Shah’s blog gives the term “picky eater” a new meaning: To eat healthier versions of not-so-healthy foods but still indulge in life’s great pleasures. The Picky Eater contains countless recipes that emphasize quick preparation, from breakfast and dessert to soups and sandwiches, as well as cultural cuisine from India, Italy and Asia. Shah writes out the steps to be short and simple and includes beautiful pictures to complement them. (4)

The first commercial sports drink was Lucozade, which was developed in England in 1953. CHASEN DAVIS KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
Many college students think that socalled “sports drinks” are the key to proper hydration and a successful workout. These products continue to increase in sales and popularity with young adults because of aggressive marketing outreach by the parent companies. However, who should be drinking these beverages and why? Knowing more information about these beverages may have you thinking differently about proper hydration.
and sport.” Some of the most popular drinks in this category include Gatorade, Powerade and Vitamin Water. Gatorade, one of the first sports drinks, was invented in 1965 specifically to aid college athletes who were practicing for extended periods of time in the Florida heat. They were not designed for the recreational athlete, but beverage companies saw the opportunity to profit by marketing to the general public. Professional athletes and celebrities made the drinks more appealing to the general public who wanted but did not actually need the drinks.

“High performance,” “sports,” “energy” drinks, or whatever you want to call them, are defined according to Human Performance Resource Center as “a beverage containing carbohydrates, minerals such as salt, vitamins and other supplements to help replenish f luids and nutrients used during vigorous exercise
Studies in many peer-reviewed journals show that proper hydration is important for successful performance by both professional and amateur athletes. Scientists have improved sports drinks to supply better f luid and nutrient composition. Because these drinks generally contain water, sodium, potassium, f lavorings and

some form of sugar, they can help athletes stay hydrated, exercise longer without experiencing fatigue, replenish electrolytes lost through sweat and boost energy levels by replenishing glycogen stores. But it is key to remember that sports drinks were invented for athletes who work out regularly and for intense periods of time. These products have no place in the diet of the average person. If you are sitting at home watching a game or having a drink with a snack or meal, you don’t need to have “high performance” beverages. The bottom line is that no matter what the commercials say, sports drinks just add excess calories to the average person’s diet. Generally speaking, these beverages have about 50 calories per 8 -ounce ser ving, but most people consume about 24 ounces in a sitting. W hen people consume 24 ounces, they get about 200 calories, 330 milligrams sodium, 90 milligrams of potassium, 290 milligrams of chloride and 42 grams of sugar (that ’s
10.5 teaspoons of sugar). Most people who drink sports or energy drinks would be better off drinking water. In terms of exercise and replenishing the body’s system, the use of these beverages is only warranted after at least 45 minutes of strenuous cardiovascular or aerobic activity, such as running, jogging or playing a fast-paced sport. Because we live in Hawai‘i, many people justif y consuming these beverages to overcome thirst and fatigue. However, there are better ways to replenish and nourish our bodies besides drinking a sugar y beverage to help quench thirst – homemade iced tea or coffee can be great choices. I add lemon slices or pineapple to my water as a low-cost and lowcalorie f lavoring. If you don’t exercise regularly or intensely, there is no need for special energy beverages. Let’s stop buying into the hype and leave these sport drinks to our Warrior athletes.

Warriors defend their rank on the road M ADDIE SAPIGAO Staff Writer Now ranked No. 13 in the nation, the University of Hawai‘i men’s volleyball team (4-7, 3-5 Mountain Pacific Sports Federation) has a target on its back. “This year, we are much more consistent; guys worked hard in the off-season and some of the new additions have helped as well,” redshirt sophomore middle blocker Taylor Averill said. “We have a much more tight-knit group.” UH has a familiar pattern going: They win at home and lose on the road. The next four matches will be on the mainland against No. 6 UCL A (8-7, 4-5 MPSF) and No. 1 UC Irvine (9-3, 6 -3 MPSF).

down then-No. 2 UCLA, and the Bruins have since dropped to No. 6. It was a huge feat for the Warriors after previously falling to No. 7 Penn State and No. 9 Ohio State. UH upset the Bruins in a fivegame match that gave hope to its fans for a better season than last year. The 2012 team set the record for the worst season in Hawai‘i men’s volleyball history by winning only seven matches and losing 20. “I definitely expect them to come back with a vengeance, and I’m just hoping that we can come out with more energy and intensity than them,” junior setter Joby Ramos said.

“We aren’t worried about rankings,” Averill said. “Rankings are just a result, not an incentive.” Despite their No. 1 rank, the ‘Eaters went on a three-game losing streak (USC, Cal Baptist, BYU), which proves they are beatable. “UCI is a great team ... and there is always a slight but more of a competitive edge when you are playing with guys you use to play with,” Averill said. “But we will treat it like every other game. I wouldn’t mind looking over the net and seeing some sad faces at the end of the night.”

Finishing what she started SYDNEY C HESTNUT Staff Writer There is no doubt that senior centerfielder Kelly Majam has been one of the most influential players on the Rainbow Wahine softball team. But it hasn’t been easy for the California native to leave her dent in the record book. “I never thought I would go to college and set records, which is amazing to know,” Majam said. “But for me ... I want to leave this program as someone that worked extremely hard and didn’t have anything left. I used up all my energy on the field.” From the beginning of her college career, Majam has had a tough road. In her freshman year, Majam started with a torn ACL that forced her to medical redshirt. “She had never really had a major injury until she tore her ACL,” head coach Bob Coolen said. “She had a whole year to reflect on, ‘What type of player am I gonna be?’ And then she came out, and she persevered. She worked her tail off to get to the best possible physical condition because she did not like sitting out a whole year.” In her rookie year, Majam came out on a tear, leading the NCA A in home runs (30) as well as being in the top five of the nation in runs (88) and slugging percentage (.919). She also set UH records for single-season runs scored and walks (44), and she led the team in batting average (.400). Defensively, Majam played fl awlessly with a 1.000 fielding average in 66 games. She was also the fi rst UH player to receive ESPN.com’s AllAmerican honors. Majam also led the ‘Bows to the 2010 College World Series in
Oklahoma. “One of my most memorable moments would be playing at the World Series,” Majam said. “It had been a dream of mine since I was 8 years old, or younger, to play at that stadium in front of all those people on ESPN, and I got to fulfi ll that dream and it was really awesome.”
D E F Y I N G S E T BAC K S After an all-star rookie season, Majam had high expectations as a sophomore. But she was thrown an unexpected curve ball heading into the 2011 season. “I was diagnosed with cancer over Christmas break in 2010-2011. I had radiation treatment, and then I went right back into season once I got back here,” Majam said. “That fi rst weekend I hit really good. It felt really nice for me – after going through all that medical hardship – to get back on the field and to show that I was still capable of hitting well and playing well.” Despite her setbacks, Majam put up some big stats for UH. She ended the season with a 1.000 fielding average for the second year in a row and led the team in doubles (11) and walks (34). Through all of her tough times, Majam’s dedication was her inspiration. “I thoroughly love softball,” she said. “It’s definitely a passion in me, and I’m a believer in Jesus and God, and I think that He put that passion in me for a reason. It was that passion to love the game and love it regardless of how I was feeling or how I was playing but just to enjoy going out there and playing.”
S E T T I N G G OA L S As a senior, Majam is in her fi nal season for UH. Despite all of her previous accomplishments, there is still one more
goal she hopes to conquer. “I want to hit 31 home runs,” Majam said. “That’s my goal. It’s a scary goal, but I’ve done it once and I want to do it again. I wanna go out as someone that fi nished what I started and hit just as good my freshman year and then after cancer. I still am a good player, and that’s something that I want to prove to myself and fi nish this program strong.” Majam is a constant source of inspiration for her teammates. She is living proof that dreams are achievable with hard work and dedication. “Kelly’s a great person,” freshman third baseman Alyssa Villalpando said. She’s always up, never down, always trying to pick everyone up.” Although she has had a prolific career, her stats are just numbers, and Majam wants to be remembered for more than that. “I just want to be known as someone that was loving and served my team as a leader,” she said. “I think a lot of people think that leaders should be someone that’s a ‘rah-rah’ person and gives the inspirational speeches every practice. But for me, I think leadership is being the last person in the dugout cleaning up and picking up the teammate that just struck out and encouraging them to get back out there.” Majam will always have a place in the record books, but the character she has demonstrated on and off the field will carry on through the lives she has impacted at UH. “Her legacy will be that she has made a lot of believers,” Coolen said. “It doesn’t matter what stature you are. She lives by example, she follows her faith and she’s a very humble person.” Associate sports editor Jeremy Nitta contributed to this story.
