News Do you think UH should invest in weather control?

NO MORE RAINBOWS (LITERALLY): UH RECEIVES GRANT TO CONTROL WEATHER PAIGE TAKEYA Managing Editor

“I would love it if it stopped raining so randomly all the time in Mānoa. If we can do it, then we should do it.”

Anita Goodman Ph.D. candidate English “The flooding around campus is really bad for the environment. As long as we do it right, I think it will be okay.”

Kerri Oki Sophomore Business “This is crazy. Are you sure this is a real thing?

I’m pretty sure this is a gigantic lie.”

Dickson Yamada Junior Korean

Rainbows are disappearing from more than baseball jerseys at the University of Hawai‘i. UH has received a $3 million grant from the Federal Science Bureau to invest in a series of wind turbines that will power campus – and keep rainclouds at bay.

“The technology is very new and experimental,” said Margaret Figaro, associate head of the FSB. “It has enormous potential to save fragile ecosystems and stave off global warming, and given its huge environmental impact, I just can’t think of a better place for it to start than at the University of Hawai‘i.”

The grant includes a $500,000 allocation toward building a series of wind turbines on the roofs of several UH buildings – including the yet-to-be finished IT building as well as Saunders and POST. As these turbines spin, they will generate electricity for the buildings and allow the university to control – to a limited degree – wind and cloud patterns.

“It seems crazy – I know it does,” said Beatrice Satonaka, an associate professor in the meteorology department. “But it really works. … We’ve done some early tests, and we are actually able to alter cloud movements in the immediate area.”

Satonaka explained that the concept is based in part on cloud

seeding, a technique commonly used to encourage precipitation during droughts.

“What this technology allows us to do is a kind of reverse-cloud seeding,” she said. “The turbines generate enough power so that we are able to aim with an unparalleled precision at clouds, shoot certain kinds of particles at them – they’re these carbon particles – and yes, dissipate them before they can precipitate.”

The particles, which Satonaka declined to elaborate further on, will be harmless for humans and wildlife – the effects for UH will be immense.

“Imagine this: If it’s raining before a softball game, say, we can actually adjust the turbines – assuming we’ve built enough of them, of course – just blow the clouds away.

We can manipulate the weather to a degree that no one has ever been able to before,” Satonaka said.

NOT ALL SUNSHINE Environmental groups have protested the new technology, claiming that manipulating the weather will have worse consequences than a little extra drizzle for UH. “It’s just ridiculous. I don’t believe … that we should be messing with the weather. Who knows what could happen? Is it worth the possible consequences?” said Leon Wallace, a member of Natural Breezes, an anti-weather modification group

that gathered in response to the FSB’s research.

“What if you blow a cloud away, and you cause a hurricane somewhere else? I just … I can’t see this ending well at all,” Wallace said.

Figaro dismissed Wallace’s concerns, pointing out that traditional cloud seeding has had no documented impact on rain patterns, and that this project should mean more of the same.

“We’ve done extensive testing, and we continue to look into this. We take this very seriously.

And we believe that there is no chance of harm to Hawai‘i or its ecosystems. If anything, this will help. This will make drought a thing of the past,” Figaro said.

Some commented that the news comes at a perfect time since the university has just dropped “Rainbows” as the moniker for its male athletic teams.

“It works out so well,” said athletics department spokesperson Candice Johnson. “We’ll be able to keep the athletes dry and keep our marketing strategy intact. It works out for everyone; it’s just a really great thing overall for the university system.”

But Satonaka cautions that the technology is still at a very early stage and that students shouldn’t look for clear skies too soon.

“What this grant does is give us the opportunity to invest,” she said. “It’s not a reality just yet.”

One Direction heads to Stan Sheriff Center

HARRY 20.7 percent VERNON BRYANT / MCT

One Direction were chosen over The Wanted, Big Time Rush and Jaden Smith to perform at UH. CAITLIN K ELLY News Editor Five breakout stars are headed in One Direction: the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa.

The English-Irish pop band will take the stage at the Recreation Center’s grand opening in fall 2013. The Recreation Center was the second of three phases in the Campus Center renovation project, which began in summer 2008.

Since the capacity of the Campus Center made a concert there impractical, it will be held in the Stan Sheriff Center instead. The boys will be making a special trip from California for the event before beginning another tour in Australia.

“We’re really looking forward to this event and are grateful for the concert promoter who approached us with this idea,” one Campus Center employee said.

University officials were approached by a UH alumnus-turned-concert-promoter who was frustrated with the large amount of construction projects taking place on campus. The promoter felt that putting on a concert would be the best way to celebrate the completion of one project and raise funds to move the next one along.

All proceeds from this project will go toward ensuring that the third phase of the Campus Center renovation project, which includes

renovation and upkeep, is completed on time.

Tickets will go on sale June 18, with prices beginning at $40. They will be sold on a first-come, first-serve basis, and 11,000 tickets will be made available. Anticipated ticket sales of $440,000 will easily cover the $200,000 deposit that has already been made, leaving $240,000 for phase three.

One Direction made its claim to fame after placing third on “ The X Factor.” Since then the group has released an album entitled “Up A ll Night,” which was the fastestselling debut album of 2011 in the United K ingdom. “Up A ll Night ” also debuted at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200.

Who let the cats out?

UH Mānoa’s new mascot

ER

FOOTBALL

SOCC

The University of Hawai‘i at M ā noa has a new mascot: the wonderful, adorable and easy-to-maintain cat.

A lthough officials have not divulged what breed of cat the mascot will officially be, they have narrowed it down to Persian or Scottish Fold. “ The administration really took in to consideration what people enjoy about the campus, so cats were the obvious choice,” said student coordinator Curtis Soo. Expecting some backfire from alumni and students, UH M ā noa has set up programs that will start in Fall 2013 to show how great its new mascot really is.

Students in the pre -veterinar y medicine program at UH M ā noa and the he athletics department are teaming up to give healthy cats away way as prizes at athletic events. Students nts will f ind cats on campus and treat reat them, making sure that they live longer and healthier lives. Once ready for gif ting, the athletics tics department will take each h cat, name them af ter a UH M ā noa athlete and give them away throughout games. s.

“I love cats – they look nice,” said junior Blair Peterson afterr hearing about the prizes.

Before the football players storm torm the f ield at games, they will let out a pack of 30 cats collected from dif ferent parts on campus to create an intimidation factor.

Each cat will be dressed in football ball attire and auctioned of f at the end of the game to raise f unds.

T he R ainbow tique will now be called alled

the Cat Closet and will feature re new merchandise. “ There are cats ever ywhere,” where,” said freshman Kelly Pepperman. “It ’s great.”

The Cat Closet is now holding olding a contest for T-shirt ideas. Each constant will be eligible to win the grand d prize of a free cat, a year’s supply of litter ter and their T-shirt sold at the Cat Closet..

A LEX BIT TER Associate News Editor Honolulu will vie to host the Summer Olympic Games in 2024.

The bid, announced at a press conference held Saturday evening at the State Capitol, is the first time that the city has put itself forth to host a major international sporting event.

“When we took a look at the cities that had hosted the games in the past, as well as those that are bidding to host [future games], we kept seeing the same names – Paris, London, Tokyo, Los Angeles and others,” said Lufi Rannemann, chair of the newly formed Honolulu Olympic Committee. “We said to ourselves, ‘Why are these cities hogging the games?’ Sure, they all have experience with successfully putting on the Olympics and other large events, but that doesn’t mean that they should get the games again and again.”

ʻA N O N - T R A D I T I O N A L C H O I C E ʼ Rannemann, who announced Honolulu’s bid along with Mayor Pete Carasile and Governor Neal Aberomby, noted that recent host city selections made by the International Olympic Committee have deviated from traditional choices in Europe, North America and Japan. “[The IOC] took a risk by selecting Beijing for the 2008 games, and they will bring the Olympics to South America for the first time by way of Rio de Janeiro in 2016. If the IOC is interested in making a non-traditional choice for 2024, we think Honolulu is the city to beat,” he said.

Fulfilling part of the requirements to become a candidate city, HOC released a written proposal outlining the numerous aspects

of the city’s bid to host the Olympics, including the games’ slogan, “Win Choke Medals.”

If selected, Honolulu will be the smallest island and most geographically isolated city to ever host the games, according to the HOC’s written proposal.

Honolulu 2024’s organizers don’t see that as a detractor, though. They said Hawai‘i’s location makes it “the ideal place to foster the Olympic spirit, physically distant from many of the conflicts rocking the world today.”

In addition, the committee said games offer an excellent opportunity to showcase some of Hawai‘i’s own athletic traditions. The current bid calls for several stamina-testing island pastimes to be included in the games, including canoe paddling, surfi ng and waiting to catch TheBus. The architects behind the bid also have ideas for the opening ceremony.

“A hologram of Braddah Iz performing would be pretty cool,” Rannemann said, referring to one of Hawai‘i’s most internationally recognized musicians of the last 20 years. “It worked with Tupac, after all.”

ENVISIONING VENUES One of the main concerns that HOC members sought to address with their announcement were questions about whether Honolulu would have the infrastructure, including stadiums and other competitive venues, to host the 29 sports slated for the 2024 Olympics.

“Actually, Honolulu already has many of the venues it needs for these games,” HOC

Win Choke M edals

O‘ahu 2

City announces bid to host 2024 Olympics Building and Development Director Ryan Ninaai said.

Ninaai suggested that Aloha Stadium’s current 50,000 seat capacity, just 30,000 shy of the 80,000 seats of London’s Olympic stadium in Stratford, could be expanded and used for track and field events, as well as the opening and closing ceremonies.

Other facilities around Honolulu could be expanded and upgraded as well, Ninaai said. In particular, he cited the Neil S. Blaisdell Center and the historic Natatorium salt water pool on Waikīkī as ideal venues for the Olympic volleyball and swimming competitions, respectively.

The current draft proposal also asks for UH to lend facilities to the Olympic effort, with plans to improve the Stan Sheriff Center for basketball and add 10,000 new dorm rooms to the campus to create an Olympic village for the athletes.

“All of these venues would need some work to get them up to Olympic standards, but the cost of these renovations is a fraction of what building new stadiums from scratch would cost,” Ninaai said. “Plus, I have some colleagues who could give the city a really good deal on the work contracts.”

Q U E S T I O N S F ROM T H E P U B L I C After the unexpected announcement, some Honolulu residents expressed doubt about their city’s ability to host the games.

“Traffic, traffic everywhere,” exclaimed one woman upon learning of the bid. “If the city pays me to stay in my home like one of those Mayan doomsday people and not leave for three weeks, then it might work. Otherwise, I don’t believe anyone has time for that.”

Others questioned the ability of Honolulu’s current athletic venues to support Olympic-sized crowds.

“I’m not sure that the stadium could handle that many people,” said Nate Gonahaapen, a UH volleyball fan at Saturday’s game against UC Santa Barbara, referencing the Stan Sheriff Center.

“I can’t ever recall seeing this stadium more than two-thirds full. Personally, I’m afraid the stadium’s structure has gotten used to being so empty most of the time that a full house would bring the place down,” Gonahaapen said.

Even if Honolulu’s bid for the summer games is unsuccessful, Rannemann said that does not mean that Hawai‘i’s Olympic hopes should fade.

“If you’ve ever been to Volcano or K amuela on the Big Island, you know how cold it can get in the winter there,” he said. “I mean, all we need is a little snow on Mauna Kea, some indoor ice rinks, and a few thousand hotel rooms, and Hilo Winter Olympics of 2026 will be in the business.”

Rannemann said the slogan “Pray for Snow” has already been selected for that campaign.

TUMBLR

University of Hawai‘i Confessions has topped 11,000 likes on Facebook – more than half of the university’s undergraduate and graduate student population.

While the page’s eyebrow-raising anecdotes and condemnation of furry boots have gained the attention of many, not everyone is satisfied, Ka Leo included.

As such, Ka Leo has begun its own Facebook confessions page.

Ka Leo Confessions encourages confessions of any kind. However, you will fi nd that there is no link to an external website to anonymously submit your confessions to. If you want to submit a confession, you must post it to the page’s wall – just as when you post on a

friend’s wall, your name will be displayed next to what you write.

Anonymous confessions serve only as entertainment at the most. Too often on University of Hawai‘i Confessions and the lesser known University of Hawai‘i Proposals Facebook pages do people anonymously confess their love for another or express a simple desire to get to know someone attractive in their class better. In most cases, others speculate on who could be responsible for the confession, and names get thrown around regarding the addressee, but nothing else happens.

Similarly, students anonymously post about their problems with the university, whether it be people setting off the dorm fi re alarms late at night, skateboarders on the sidewalks, unfair professors

or the quality of the university’s athletics program. Hiding behind the secrecy of the Internet also makes slander of fellow peers, faculty and staff possible.

K a L eo Confessions aims to make things happen. If you want to tell someone that you’d love to take them out on a date, post it and let your identit y be known – the worst that can hap pen is that your of fer will be de clined, but at least you’ll have a def inite answer instead of hop ing that your confession will be seen and understood by the person that it was meant for.

If you are unsatisfied with anything about UH Mānoa, express it with your name attached.

Ka Leo is interested in hearing what students think about our school in its current state, and

these opinions could eventually be voiced to the school administration through written editorials in the print edition. Take credit for your thoughts and initiatives.

Confessions regarding vandalism, public indecency and actions against the university’s student conduct code and academic integrity code are also welcomed.

These will be turned over to the appropriate fi gure of authority, whether it be the dean of your college, campus security or the Honolulu Police Department.

The hawtest styles for spring

JACKIE PERREIR A Senior Staff Writer

PA PAC Y (1) Move over Benedict, there’s a new pope in town – no, not Francis, but you, fashionista. Crosses are everywhere this spring – rings, leggings or tops – but the way to truly show your style (and devotion) is to go the extra mile with a papal tiara. Pair it with a robe and an some white ballet fl ats, and you’re ready for a night on the t town or to chill poolside at the Vatican.

BLUDGEONING It’s a rough world out there, and fas fashion designers know it. That’s why this season they’ve equipped equippe us with pieces that double as battle gear in the form of spikes and an daggers on the tops and shoes. Your shoulders, collars and pockets of our favorite top friend said something that rubbed you the wro wrong way? Rub her the wrong way, and utilize your weaponry.

N E O N (2) This season it’s time to get your ne-on. Stocking S up on neon pieces can be expensive, so to get the look you w want, don’t break the bank but break something else – glow sticks. They come in packs of yellow, pink, green, blue and purple. Simply take the stick and karate chop it to get that nice gooey money-saving stuff inside, th then place a dab here orr there on your clothes or even your skin.

S L O T H S (3) Enough with YOLO, it’s now time for LSDW (“Live (“Liv Slow, Die Whenever”), henever”), sloth. So it’s only fitthe sentiment that belongs to none other than the almighty almi ting that we honor the sloth this spring – in fact, consider itt sloths’ spring. never be worn Sloth fur is extremely rare and should nev rn because sloths pretty, so you are created to sit there and look pretty u won’t stores.

Features Warner Brothers releases plans for ‘Justice League’ JOSEPH H AN Associate Chief Copy Editor Although at fi rst keen on waiting for reception from this summer’s “Man of Steel,” Warner Brothers has announced Ben Affleck as the director of the upcoming “Justice League” film.

Production will begin as soon as Affl eck fi nishes polishing the awards that he has received from his previous fi lm, “Argo.” Once again, Affl eck will act alongside his duty of sitting in the director’s chair.

“Affl eck thinks those chairs are great,” said Warner Brothers entertainment representative Alexi Luther at a press conference held in the early hours of April 1. “We’re excited that he agreed to play Aquaman in this DC universe, and you’ll see him with blonde hair. Defi nitely going to make a splash.”

While Henry Cavill is slated to return as Superman, the question of who will play Batman has always lingered after Christopher Nolan’s trilogy wrapped up last year. But Christian Bale has confi rmed his involvement.

“He said that he wouldn’t do it again, but after ‘The Dark Knight Rises,’ Christian started limping, his beard grew

out and he complained that his back hurt,” Luther said. “Christian wants to wear the suit again and not just hang around – it was a pit of reluctance that he had to climb out of, figuratively. The world didn’t just get the actor that it needed, but the one it deserved.”

Although recently announcing a hiatus from acting himself, Ryan Gosling has been cast as The Flash, and Luther stated that he refused to pass on the opportunity.

“Gosling thought he needed a break after starring in so many fi lms, but one thing that he realized as an actor is that he loves going fast,” Luther said.

“From being a stuntman driver to a motorcycle bank robber, Gosling didn’t need to run from acting – what he really needed was to act like he was running, which is what he’ll do.”

Perhaps the most prominent announcement surrounding this fi lm is Nicholas Cage’s casting as Martian Manhunter.

“I think Cage has never really belonged to this world,” Luther said. “His presence is otherworldly, which is why we know that he will bring insight to this character.

“This film will give Marvel a run for their money,” Luther said.

Fans react after George Lucas announces a new Star Wars spinoff starring Jar Jar Binks.

TISH WELLS US NEWS / MCT

George Lucas announces more ‘Star Wars’ spinoffs BLAKE TOLENTINO Web Specialist Hot on the heels of recent news regarding new Star Wars movies following such famous franchise characters as Han Solo and Boba Fett, George Lucas has announced that even more spinoffs are currently in development.

Sources within the Lucasfi lm corporate offi ces have been hinting at additional fi lms since the original spinoffs were announced.

While a number of names have been hitting the rumor mill, it has been confi rmed that both Jar Jar Binks and Lando Calrissian will be the stars of new trilogies independent of the main Star Wars saga in an offi cial statement released early this morning.

“Due to the initial positive reactions to the reveals of Lucas’ imminent cinematic adventures, he has determined that now is the time to put the microscope on even more timeless characters that are ever y bit as deser ving of their own movie as fan favorites,” said Lucasfilm

media executive Jason Porkins. “ The first of these will focus on events surrounding two other popular characters in Jar Jar Binks and Lando Calrissian, respectively, but others are currently in the works.”

The knowledge of the new movies has sparked furious responses from the notoriously vocal Star Wars fan base.

“Why can’t George Lucas just stop destroying the franchise?” bemoaned a distraught Twitter user going by the name H4nSh0t1st. “Jar Jar Binks was the absolute low point of the franchise.”

“It’s like Lucas took the very essence of my childhood and fashioned a toilet out of it before binging on 7-11 Taquitos,” said a YouTube commenter named Bubba Fett.

Despite the initial uproar, Lucasfi lm appears unfazed.

“At the end of the day, its Lucas’ franchise, and he’s going to do what he wants with it,” Porkins said. “The fans can complain all they want, but they’re probably still going to show up at the theater on opening weekend.”

Details of the movies are currently scarce, but leaked early drafts of the Jar Jar script seem to indicate that the movie will follow the titular character as he attempts to outwit two intergalactic police officers after being framed for murder.

Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan have expressed interest in the project.

“Tucker is used to playing LAPD and was in ‘The Fifth Element,’ so it makes sense to him that he could play SpacePD,” said Tucker’s agent Jim Cart.

Likewise, not much is known of the Lando Calrissian project, but Tyler Perry appears to have been offered the role. Perry is also rumored to be playing the roles of Chewbacca, Emperor Palpatine, Lando’s love interest, and somehow the Millennium Falcon itself. This has yet to be confirmed, as all attempts to contact Perry have been answered by a cranky old woman whose only response thus far has been yelling, “Ain’t nobody got time for that,” and hanging up the phone.

Concert review: Stevie Wonder at UH NICOLYN C HARLOT Associate Features Editor

It ’s not every day that a person as famous as Stevie Wonder makes an appearance at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa.

Last Friday, the long-anticipated Wonder concert fi nally took place at the Stan Sheriff Center.

Students fl ocked to the Center and fi lled the stands. We were eager to see the show for a number of reasons, partially because it had been in the news an unusual amount for a concert and also because it was putting everyone’s $100 athletic fee to good use.

The stadium was full, and ever yone was bubbling with excitement as the awaited hour approached. I noticed athletics director Jim Donovan speaking to people and shaking hands – ever yone was pleased with him for having organized the show.

A few minutes before it started, he walked onto the stage in front of the closed curtains and gave a brief speech. He was pleased with the $2,000,000 that had been raised for the athletics department by all Mānoa students.

He also thanked Marc Hubbard and Sean Barriero, Mr. Wonder’s highly respectable promoters, for their help in the planning process. Unfortunately, they had both fallen ill that night and were unable to attend the event.

Once the speech was fi nished, Donovan walked off the stage, and things went quiet in anticipation of the curtains opening.

Until that point, I was having a great time, and my friends and I were excited, but the concert took a turn for the worst before it even began. When the curtains were finally pulled apart, all that remained in the center of the stage was an empty

chair. I half expected Clint Eastwood to walk out and give a speech.

We waited for several minutes before M.R.C. Greenwood came on stage and informed us that there were some technical difficulties. For such an amazing and exciting event, I was surprised to hear how nervous she sounded.

A nother 10 minutes passed before Greenwood returned to inform us that there had been a minor miscommunication several months ago, and that Wonder was, in fact, not actually coming.

We were also informed that our tickets would be refunded and that ever yone should look to ward the future and completely ignore the events of the evening.

After I left the stadium, I interviewed a few people about the show. “ Well, I’m disappointed, but I am sure I will soon forget about it,” one student said. “University politics bore me and I only contribute an annual $100 to athletics, so why should I care?”

A nother student looked puzzled when I asked what he thought, and he answered, “ There was a Stevie Wonder concert? Seriously? I thought this was a volleyball game.”

Overall, the response to the situation was negative, as many students were upset that they had squandered an evening that could have been spent studying for midterms or getting wasted.

I am deeply disappointed in this lack of a concert. However, many students are certain the upcoming hologram Michael Jackson concert will be much better.

R ATI N G:

THE PERFORMERS Stevie Wonder did not perform at UH, nor was he even in Hawai‘i.

He had nothing to do with the concert at all.

Animal smuggling:

beary dangerous

Though this appears to be a friendly koala, this is actually a drop bear which has been held in captivity since 1997, when it mangled nine people.

G_KAT26 FLICKR

TIM M ETR A Associate Opinions Editor

We all know that Australia is the deadliest continent on Earth, but what you might not know is that the exotic animal smuggling industry could be bringing a delightful addition to a habitat near you. Smuggling wildlife is a multi-billion dollar industry, third in line behind drugs and human trafficking, and it can have disastrous, unforeseen consequences.

D RO P P I N G T H E BA L L

The problem is that illegal collectors have difficulty distinguishing between various Australian fauna. Take the koala, for example: They appear to be cute and cuddly, so they are in regular demand as exotic pets even though they smell horrific. The problem is

that koalas look exactly like their larger, omnivorous cousin, the drop bear. Drop bears are extremely dangerous; a large male can easily kill an adult human and make short work of the body.

Typically, drop bears are not a problem for Australians. Their preferred food is eucalyptus, just like the koala. The oils in the tree have a narcotic effect on both koalas and drop bears, so they are generally mild in temperament and behavior. Also, the salty stench of yeast extract products like Vegemite seems to have a repellent effect on drop bears; the taste certainly cannot be the reason it’s a national breakfast food. The real problems usually start when there isn’t enough eucalyptus to go around.

F I E RY D O OM The aforementioned oils have another side

effect besides getting marsupials stoned: It’s highly combustible. Wild fires can quickly turn into firestorms, burning down large swathes of forest. The loss of feeding grounds can cause starvation in koala populations but not drop bears. In an environment where there is not enough eucalyptus, they will soon start to hunt for alternative food sources. After every fire affecting eucalyptus forests in Australia, there is a rise in the number of missing hikers and campers, as well as an increase in “animal attacks.”

W H Y S H O U L D YO U C A R E? Thanks to the age of exploration, eucalyptus has been introduced around the world, and it has done especially well in California and the Pacific Northwest. Another thing that does particularly well in California is rich people with more money than

sense, some of whom like to collect exotic animals. Every so often the media reports escaped lions or tigers, and there’s even a big cat refuge in Texas that cares for animals that are discarded once people realize how dangerous they are.

What the media doesn’t report, however, is the growing population of drop bears in the western United States. All it would take is one good disaster like the 1991 Oakland Hills fi restorm, and there will be an epidemic of animal maulings and missing children.

Hawai‘i has a large population of eucalyptus trees, and all it would take is a couple of wealthy people to acquire an adorable pair of “koalas,” and next thing you know we have yet another invasive species on our hands.

This time, though, it’ll be more dangerous than snails or coqui frogs.

Do you like cats?

THE CAT QUESTION

For as little as $10 0,0 0 0 this univerersity can proomote cat-care and well-being by providing food and clean water fountains for our feline friends. A single automatic water dispenser costs about $100 and can be hooked up to a standard outdoor hose faucet. If placed in shady areas, these water dispensers would have minimal impact on the campus’s water use but would offer our cats safe and clean drinking water. One or two fountains for dogs might be possible, but $100,000 could provide 10 permanent water stations, 2,000 pounds of cat food and pay for the spaying, neutering and anti-fl ea treatment of our resident cats.

In this economy, doesn’t it seem ridiculous to spend $100,000 on stray cats? Yes, it does, but this university honestly cannot afford to spend more. I know it seems heartless to limit our aid to a mere $100,000, but if we must choose between giving some help and letting these animals fend for themselves, I think the answer is clear: We need to help.

Enough is enough: This cat problem must come to an end.

Poll RESULTS

Members of the UH Mānoa community, we can no longer ignore the growing feral feline fiasco burdening our campus and our hearts.

I am talking about ut the stray cats along Maile Way, behind Sinclair Library, by the he Korean Studies Center and around round the lower campus dormitomitories. These cats avoid areas eas with high human foot-traffi c, but they crawl under every portable building, every trailer and every edifi ce’s overhang to form colonies that are hard to remove. They sit around, covered in dirt and fl eas, darting in and out of bushes and under cars. They avoid human contact, but we humans cannot avoid the smells of urine and feces that they leave behind to mark their territories.

The cats live, breed and die in and around our place of learning, and I have had enough.

Feral cats live short lives – 3 to 5 years, as opposed to a 12 to 15 year lifespan for indoor cats in a good home. Such short life expectancy can be the result of diseases such as feline leukemia (which is spread by a virus and is therefore contagious), kidney disease, rabies and common infections that are made worse by the feline immunodefi ciency virus. On top of these threats, wild cats can also be hit by cars, attacked by dogs or other cats or can simply starve to death. Cats who take shelter in sewer drains also get stuck and drown during fl ash fl oods.

There are some on-campus shelters for these cats; they are painted green and are poorly maintained. While I do see some kind souls feeding these poor animals, this is not enough – to avoid kidney disease, cats need fresh water and shady places to rest.

Our university spent $200,000 on a Stevie Wonder concert to benefit the athletics program. What about our kitty program? Athletes can take care of themselves, but our feline friends need help.

UH announces Warrior ice hockey team JOEY R AMIREZ Sports Editor

In an unforeseen move, the University of Hawai‘i Athletic Department announced the addition of ice hockey as the school’s 22nd intercollegiate sport.

The team, which will be known as the “Ice Warriors,” will begin competitive play during fall 2013. Despite not being known for having much of a hockey following, new UH head coach Jonas Kiprusoff has high hopes for the development of the sport in the islands.

“Having a team at UH will expose fans to a new game that I think they’ll immediately enjoy,” Kiprusoff said. “A fter all,

ace in Aiea, at least for the upcoming season. “ We are currently working toward building an on- campus stadium,” K iprusof f said. “If our program is to be taken se riously by the other teams, we will need to have support from our students. A nd the only way to get that is to have an arena here at UH.” Currently, there are no plans to renovate Stan Sheriff Center to be able to house a hockey team.

“It is a lovely venue, but does not suit our needs,” Kiprusoff said. “We must have a new arena if we are to compete with the best teams in the nation. I am

When we saw that UH added sand volleyball as a sport, we thought, ‘Why can’t we do the same with hockey?’ when you really think about it, is there that much of a difference between hockey and surfing?”

Kiprusoff, who is known for his patented Flying V offense, put together a tentative roster featuring 12 players, including co-captains Börje Lundqvist and Kealoha Ka‘aukai.

“We have been waiting for this opportunity our entire lives,” Ka‘aukai said. “When we saw that UH added sand volleyball as a sport, we thought, ‘Why can’t we do the same with hockey?’”

“Hockey is much different here,” Lundqvist said. “I’m excited about this team and coach’s Bombay-style offense. But I’ve never seen a player score a goal in board shorts – until now.”

The home rink for the UH’s newest sport will be the Ice Pal-

aware of a few dormitories and libraries that could be sacrificed so the land could serve as a place for stadium construction. But playing hockey at Stan Sheriff?

That would just be silly.”

The Ice Warriors may also serve as a pioneer for more sports to join the lineup of UH athletics. Proposed sports for the 2015 school year include women’s hockey, curling and figure skating. “ This team will open new doors for UH,” said Josef Blitzer, president of the Hawaiian Winter Athletics Committee. “We’re still crunching numbers, but I think it’s safe to say that the university’s budget is prepared to accommodate man-made snow for our bobsled team to practice on Koko Head.”

The Ice Warriors will join the Oceanic Hockey Association, which includes the University of New South Wales, the University of Guam and the defending OHA champions, Fiji National University.

UH will open up the 2013 season with a nonconference home matchup against defending NCAA Division I national champion Boston College. “ That doesn’t matter to us,” Ka‘aukai said. “It could be the Chicago Blackhawks or Soviet Union for all I care. We’re ready for the challenge, and we are gonna kick some ice.”

UPCOMING GAMES UH vs. Boston Eagles (Sep. 30 and 31) UH vs. Fiji Icicles (Oct. 5 and 9) UH vs. Aotearoa Polar Bears (Oct. 21) All matches are at 7 p.m. in Ice Palace.

Jim Tressell

JEREMY NIT TA Associate Sports Editor In a surprising move, the University of Hawai‘i has hired former Ohio State head coach Jim Tressell as the quarterbacks coach for the Warriors football team.

Tressell, who has compiled a 229-79 record as a college coach, has some history with current UH athletics director Ben Jay, who also worked at Ohio State before coming to Hawai‘i.

“Jim has proven himself to be a winner at the college level, and we are very happy to have him joining our ‘ohana here at M ā noa,” said Fred Fredrickson, representative of the athletic department.

Tressell’s hiring has yet to be formalized but was announced this morning at a press conference held by the athletic department.

“We’re thrilled to have someone like Jim Tressell come to the University of Hawai‘i,” Fredrickson said. “I know that his experience and expertise will benefit our program immensely.”

Tressell also has yet to sign a contract, which must be approved by UH President M.R.C. Greenwood.

While at Ohio State, Tressell signed current UH quarterback Taylor Graham to play for the Buckeyes.

Graham, who transferred to Hawai‘i after Tressell resigned as head coach, is pleased to be working with the man who originally recruited him.

In his tenure at Ohio State, Tressell led the

Buckeyes to seven BCS bowl games, including three National Championship games. In 2002, Tressell led Ohio State to the BCS National Championship. Tressell also won six Big Ten titles at Ohio State.

Tressell hasn’t coached since leaving Ohio State in 2010, but is grateful for the opportunity given to him by head coach Norm Chow and the athletic department.

“He’s [Tressell] happy to be coaching again,” Fredrickson said. “Hawai‘i is probably one of the nicest places in the world to coach, and he has a ton of respect for Norm Chow. This will defi nitely beat the cold winters in Ohio.”

Chow seems equally excited to have a coach of Tressell’s caliber on his staff.

“Jim Tressell is exactly the kind of coach Chow wants on his staff,” Fredrickson sa id. “He knows how to get the most out of his players, and Chow thinks that he’s going to pay dividends for Taylor and our other quarterbacks.”

The hiring of Tressell comes as a bit of a surprise, as the team has already begun spring practice and seemed set with their coaching staff. But Chow, who said he had been in contact with Tressell for the last few months, couldn’t pass up the opportunity when Tressell said he was interested in a coaching position.

Tressell will be the third new coach for the Warriors, joining offensive coordinator Aaron Price and offensive line coach Chris Naole.

Book review: ‘The Diary of A. S. Potter’ PAIGE TAKEYA Managing Editor

One year after its surprise April 1 announcement, “The Diary of A. S. Potter” has proven itself a worthy successor to the “Harry Potter” series. Though the novel is a departure from the classic Potter formula, it will win a new legion of fans and distinguish Albus Severus from his father’s legacy.

The novel, written in a fi rstperson diary format, follows Albus Severus over his fi rst year at Hogwarts – where, in a surprise twist, he is sorted into Slytherin instead of Gryffi ndor. Though he is at fi rst ashamed and devastated to have diverged so far from his father’s legacy, he soon adapts to his circumstances and begins to thrive.

The new narration style is at fi rst jarring, as Albus Severus’ voice tends towards the whiny in the fi rst half of the book, and series veterans may wish that the third-person narrator of the original books would return. But as Albus Severus grows, so too does his writing style, and readers will love the sharp-witted Slytherin by the end of the novel.

More importantly, “ The Diary of A. S. Potter” goes a long way towards rehabilitating the tattered reputation of Slytherin house. Though the main series depicts Slytherins almost universally as despicable and untrustworthy, this novel paints them in a less biased light. The renowned craftiness of the house is celebrated here.

Albus Severus’ best friend is Scorpius Malfoy, and the two defy the legacy of their fathers.

Though they lack the laissez-faire attitude of the Marauders and the self-righteousness of Harry’s gang, this Potter and Malfoy are easily the sharpest and quickestwitted of the bunch. More is revealed about wizard culture in this book than ever before.

Readers wondering about the fates of other characters in the series need not worry: everyone, including Harry, makes an appearance. The other children characters may well be more interesting than their parents – Teddy Lupin will be a fan favorite – though the book does slog on in its encyclopedic accounts of what became of dozens of side characters.

While interesting to the hardcore fan, this level of detail feels out of place in Albus Severus’ diary. There’s no reason why he would be so interested in the fates of Fay Dunbar or Millicent Bulstrode, yet he devotes pages to them. It feels like Rowling combined the Potter encyclopedia project with this novel – an effect that makes the book inconsistent.

Fans who protested Albus Severus’ strange name choice might be pleased to know, however, that he prefers to go by the nickname Sev. “The Diary of A. S. Potter” should be on stands at your local bookstore now and retails for $41.
