Mizuno seeks more input from UH students, elected or not

Vice House Speaker Mizuno is a 1986 graduate of UH Mānoa and a former football player. CAPITOL. HAWAII.GOV

A LEX BIT TER Associate News Editor New legislative scrutiny of planned tuition hikes across the University of Hawai‘i system has prompted one lawmaker to call for increased student involvement in decisions on university-related issues, both at the state and student government levels. In a statement released late last week, State House of Representatives Vice Speaker John Mizuno indicated a desire to collaborate with and hear from UH students on tuition increases and other issues. In particular, Mizuno cited the New Leadership Slate, the main opposition party in the current ASUH election, as a group capable of better engaging UH Mānoa’s undergraduates. “As the leader of a diverse and talented group of young student leaders called the New Leadership Slate, I am confident that [NLS presidential candidate] Ian [Ross] and his team will seek to better engage the 14,000 undergraduate student across the Mānoa campus,” Mizuno said in the statement. “I look forward to working with Ian and other UH students on exploring ways to lower the skyrocketing student tuition hikes and improve overall student life.” In part, Mizuno’s statement reflects an understanding between him and the Mānoa junior that began three years ago. Ross first met Mizuno in 2010 and kept in touch with Mizuno and met with him during the years. Ross and Mizuno both believe that stu-

dents have more of a reason than ever to get involved with university issues, such as tuition, that affect them. “What you’re seeing is massive issues and a massive need to ﬁgure these issues out, and then the students’ voice being smaller than ever within this,” Ross said. “This is a time

Why are the students getting punished for wasteful spending? for students to stake out their claim and being able to stand up for themselves in this … period of transition.” Ross would like to foster more regular meetings with legislature as ASUH President and build stronger working relationships with lawmakers. However, Mizuno emphasized that the statement did not constitute an endorsement of Ross or his running mates, but was rather a broader call for greater involvement by the student body in the debate about university issues. “I am willing to work with any UH student,” he said, adding that students need not be elected ofﬁcials to approach or participate in debates such as that over the Board of Regents tuition increase schedule. Mizuno said in a phone interview that while the BOR may have been sluggish in its response to claims of redundant spending, he and his col-

leagues are determined to eliminate “wasteful” expenditures. “The legislature can always audit,” he said. In reaching that end, Mizuno said that students should not be left behind; when the legislature reviews policies that have a direct impact on students and the quality of their experience, students have every right to get in on the debate. He added that topics such as the tuition increases that the Board has approved, which vary between 5.5 and 7.5 percent for each of the next four academic years, are opportunities when more input and questioning from students are needed. “Why are the students getting punished for wasteful spending?” he asked.

Correction Athletics Director Ben Jay asked that his statement on his department’s strength and conditioning program be clariﬁed. The story, printed Monday, stated that UH athletic trainers and coaches do not put enough emphasis on basic strengyh and conditioning. In fact, he said, the university’s two strength and conditioning coaches “do a great job for our student-athletes.” The main issue with UH’s strength and conditioning program, Jay indicated, is that it lacks adaquate facilities and equipment to serve the university’s 19 teams. “You can’t serve our student athletes with what we have,” Jay said.

You, SHE and I need to talk

SAR AH NISHIOK A Opinions Editor There are some shocking developments in India: Three students at the Sri Ramaswamy Memorial University in Chennai have designed a bra that delivers electric shocks to any would-be rapists who attempt to harm the lingerie’s wearer. The three engineering students came up with the idea as a response to a high-proﬁle gang rape in Delhi in December 2012 and their own surveys on sexual harassment in women’s hostels. While this product may sound like a needed remedy in a country that is outraged by the mistreatment of women, powerful undergarments are not a solution for broader gender violence in Indian (and American) society.

The new lingerie apparatus is called SHE, which stands for Society Harnessing Equipment and protects the wearer by shocking attackers up to 82 times with up to 3,800 kV of electricity. SHE is also equipped with a global positioning system sensor and can alert parents and police of the attack in real time. It is clear after the aforementioned incident in Delhi – where a woman was gang raped on a public bus and died as a result of her injuries – that women in India face daily threats to their integrity. The inventors of SHE do not claim that it will stop rape in India, but they do recognize that state action to protect women has been insufﬁcient. “Since the lawmakers take ages to come up with just laws and even after that, women are unsafe. Hence, we have initiated the idea of self-

defense which protects the women from domestic, social and workplace harassment,” the students wrote in their project proposal.

IS SHE RIGHT? In February, India’s President Pranab Mukherjee issued an ordinance that allows convicted rapists to receive the death penalty. Note that the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2008 that even if the rape resulted in a murder, sentencing rapists to death is cruel and unusual punishment under the 8th Amendment as long as there was no intent to kill the victim. Celebrity news blogger Perez Hilton praised SHE, saying, “It’s fantastic that people are taking strides to make sure that everyone can feel safe at all times.” SHE does not address the causes of violence against women. Like pepper spray, pocket-knives, concealed carry weapons and martial arts training, an electriﬁed bra can only stop violencein-progress, not prevent violence from happening. Allowing convicted rapists to receive the death penalty does not stop rape, either. No real equipment can harness or restrain society: Women and men should be able to feel safe in public without needing to wear special underwear. We need to continue protesting against sexual violence, raising awareness and acceptance of survivors’ needs and demanding better responses from the state and each other. We cannot rely on pieces of clothing to protect us. After all, the question we should be concerned with is “Why did he assault her?” and not “What was she wearing?” or “Why wasn’t she wearing SHE?”

No-Smoking Campus Petition! Relay For Life is planned by the Registered Independent Organization called Colleges Against Cancer. Our CAC has taken upon the American Cancer Society mission of advocacy by issuing a petition in favor of UH Manoa executive to adopt a smoke-free policy on its campus. It is commonly known that smoking cigarettes are the leading cause of the development of lung cancer and secondhand smoke is also a factor in causing lung cancer. Regulating smoking outdoors is important because of two factors in Hawaii: trade winds and warm temperatures. Cigarette smoke rises and then descends until the air is saturated with secondhand smoke and trade winds constantly push the smoke into people standing nearby. To fight back against cigarettes and lung cancer, we have gained the support of the current President of the Associated Students of the Unviersity of Hawaii (ASUH), Richard Mizusawa, as well as the Health from the Health Promotion Chair of University Health. The ASUH officially took a stance last year to support a policy to make our campus smokefree. Some senators have also taken the initiative to help in getting signatures of fellow students who are also in support of a smoke-free campus. Richard has told us in an online interview, “I also hope to work with Chancellor Apple and the UH Administration to see if we can collaborate on this topic to get all parties involved to move this forward.” He hopes that our petition will start a conversation to moving towards being a healthier campus and finds it personally important as a student to adopt a policy that promotes healthy living for all. Richard also shared with us, “I want to ensure everyone is not only satisfied with their education, but also their student life on campus where they should feel like they are “home.”

When speaking to Kristen Scholly, the Health Promotion Chair at the University of Hawaii at Manoa Health Services Health Promotion office, she shared the passion that her office had in seeing a completely tobacco-free campus. “On a campus like ours, 20 feet doesn’t really mean anything”, says Kristen referring to our university’s current policy which resembles the state-wide policy on cigarette smoking stating that smokers must remain at least 20 feet away from a building. When asked about her opinion on designated smoking areas, she emphasized that inefficiency of designated areas. When smokers are in a small area surrounded by other smokers, the air quickly because saturated with a concentrated amount of cigarette smoke, which puts everyone in that area at a much higher risk. The message is simple: a healthy campus is a happy campus. By adopting a policy on tobacco at UH Manoa, we can create an environment conducive to learning and good health. We hope to advance this issue to Chancellor Apple by presenting our petition at Relay For Life to him. If you are interested in signing our petition, visit our table at campus center, ASUH, or the Health Promotion office. If you would like to join the cause against tobacco, contact the Community Partnership for Health and Fresh Air, group of students, faculty, and outside community groups at freshair@hawaii.edu or look up the Supporters for a Tobacco-Free University of Hawai’i on Facebook!

CANCER ARTICLES

JABSOM Makes it Personal The hard-working students and faculty at the University Of Hawaii John A. Burns School Of Medicine continuously show their passion towards serving their community in many ways, and tomorrow they will bring that compassion with them to Relay For Life. Many have expressed their excitement joining in on a great cause and for some; the event holds a much more personal meaning for them. Kris Kawamoto and Nicolas Villanueva are both four year medical students who are due to receive their M.D. degrees in May. In addition to the everyday struggles of a medical student, both have also faced challenges in their lives due to their own battles with cancer. Nicolas, a Hepatoblastoma cancer survivor expressed that his experience growing as a cancer survivor helped him to realize his dream of caring for patients who were diagnosed with the disease. It was in medical school where he met Kris, who was diagnosed with Breast cancer in her first year of medical school. Both Kris and Nicolas, who are team captains for the JABSOM Relay For Life team, understand the importance of Relay For Life events, which dedicate many of their funds towards cancer research. They are grateful for the American Cancer Society and thank them for being a part of their success in their own battles against cancer. Dr. Virginia Hinshaw, former Chancellor who is currently a professor at JABSOM, is a big supporter of Relay For Life as she is also a breast cancer survivor. Hinshaw, who has spoken at the opening ceremony of Relay For Life 2012, will return on Saturday to deliver another inspiring speech! She encourages everyone to join this important cause as it is a wonderful opportunity for the school to come together as one `ohana to support cancer survivors and their caregivers and to generate resources to support new advances. All who have experienced cancer are welcome to join Dr. Hinshaw and other survivors and their caregivers in the opening lap of Relay For Life! The planning committee would also like to give a big mahalo to Tina Shelton, the Communications Director and Legislative Coordinator, at JABSOM who is also a cancer Survivor. She has done so much to spread awareness about our event throughout the medical school! Our partnership with the medical school, its students, and faculty has been invaluable to us. Join JABSOM, Dr. Hinshaw, and hundreds of other participants at the 2013 Relay For Life tomorrow!

Athletics participation They can run, they can throw, and they can Relay! Relay For Life, which is in its eighth year here at UH Manoa, was started by student athletes as part of an initiative by the Student Athletic Advisory Committee (SAAC). Their dreams of fighting cancer at UHM have been achieved with every year in which the event grows and raises more funds and awareness. We asked two student athletes about their experiences with Relay For Life here at UH Manoa. Jori Jasper is a member of the UHM women’s softball team and the president of SAAC. For the first time, SAAC decided to have Hawaii Athletics participate in the 2013 Big West Coin Drive Competition. For the entire month of February, the schools in the Big West Conference raised coins in support of their favorite charity and the highest fundraising school was able to donate their funds and 25% of the other schools’ funds to that charity. Hawaii Athletics won this year’s coin drive with $11,000 total! They were able to donate that amount, as well as 25% of the other schools’ funds, for a total of around $18,000 to Relay For Life of UH Manoa! Jori shared with us her excitement on being able to leave a legacy with the event that was started by her committee eight years ago. When we asked Jori why student athletes should be involved, she shared that “everyone knows somebody who has had cancer, do what they can to raise money” and also to “show the community how much athletes care about them.” Jori is also on the women’s softball team here at UH Manoa alongside Kelly Majam, a senior as well as a thyroid cancer survivor. Last year, Kelly and her teammates rushed from their softball game over to Ching field to participate in the opening ceremony and opening lap of Relay. Clad in pink jerseys to spread awareness for breast cancer, the softball team proudly walked together in the survivor’s lap along with other cancer survivors. Kelly shared with us that the survivor lap was her favorite memory from Relay. It was a very special experience for her as there were many people of different ages and people that didn’t know each other walking in the first lap, but they all shared the same connection with each other. She also admitted that she enjoyed showing off that she was a survivor to the crowd lining the track to cheer her and other survivors on. That experience for Kelly would not have been possible without Relay. Kelly also elaborated on the importance for student athletes to be involved because of the media spotlight that they have and can use to spread awareness for a great cause. She also has a personal appreciation for everything that the American Cancer Society and Relay For Life does and feels very special and humbled by her experience.

Take a trip to ‘Thread Hell’

Your university releases a new Housing Guide!

COLLECT A KA LEO ISSUE APRIL 24, 2013

The angura movement was student-led and originated in 1960. PHOTO COURTESY OF KENNEDY THEATRE

BEN SAUNDERS Staff Writer

It’s highly uncommon to hear the phrase, “I want to go to hell.” Kennedy Theatre’s last main stage performance of the semester, “Thread Hell,” is a product of famed contemporary playwright Rio Kishida and delves into a modern-day hell found in our own societies in its ﬁ rst-ever English language iteration to be featured at the University of Hawai‘i at Mā noa beginning this weekend. The women in “Thread Hell,” named after cards found in the Japanese card game hanafuda, work in a silk-spinning factory that becomes a brothel at night. The women have no recollection of their lives before the factory until a woman named Cocoon appears and begins to free them from the owner’s control.

Lanki co-translated the play alongside translator Keiko Tsuneda, thus bringing the ﬁ rst-ever English language version of Kishida’s show into being. The play combines traditional elements of Japanese drama (similar to those found in the theatre forms of noh and kabuki) and contemporary elements that can be found in all manner of western plays. Adding to the novelty of this particular presentation of “Thread Hell” is the assistance and guidance of Ryoko Hina and Hitoshi Suwabe, actors from the original production and associates who worked with Kishida until her death in 2003. In addition to helping the director, Hina and Suwabe indulged the show’s cast in a series of workshops to give their input on the process and to give the actors the opportunity to learn from the best.

A C O L L A B O R AT I V E EXPERIENCE

The angura (“underground”) movement, from which “Thread Hell” originated, has “a rawness and a youthfulness about it,” said director Colleen Lanki, an alumna of the Asian theatre program who has returned as a visiting artist.

A key element in the show, as Lanki explained, is the idea of a dynamic ensemble cast, in which all the characters work together to tell a story. Although gender distinctions are a key part of the show, the cast strives to act as a single unit, in

which each action that a character takes is a reaction to one another, to create a world in which no character can make it on his or her own. “This has been a very different rehearsal process,” said Leah Koeppel, who plays Cocoon. This commitment to an ensemble cast led to as many people as possible being included in each rehearsal to augment the idea of the cast as a single, living unit. “Thread Hell” deals with mature themes and is not recommended for viewers under the age of 14. While the play was written as an exploration of the identity and role of Japanese women in the 1930s, the issues it addresses remain relevant even in today’s American society.

Thread Hell When: April 12, 13, 18, 19, 20; 8 p.m. and April 21; 2 p.m. Where: Kennedy Theatre Cost: $5 UH Mānoa students with validated I.D., $13 students, $22 seniors, military and UH faculty and staff, $24 general admission Contact: hawaii.edu/kennedy

M ADDIE SAPIGAO Senior Staff Writer The No. 14 University of Hawai‘i men’s volleyball team (916, 8-14 Mountain Paciﬁc Sports Federation) travels on the road for its last matches of the season. The team plays the unranked UC San Diego Tritons (7-20, 4-18 MPSF) for a chance to make it into the MPSF playoffs. These two matches are crucial for the Warriors because a loss in even one of them means their season is ﬁnished. UH must win both matches this weekend and Cal State Northridge must lose to No. 2 Long Beach State to make an appearance in the playoffs. Eight teams go to the MPSF Tournament and seven have clinched tournament appearances already: BYU, UCI, Long Beach State, UCLA, Pepperdine, Stanford

and UC Santa Barbara. Hawai‘i is coming off of two losses against No. 7 UCSB, which resulted in a four-set loss and a sweep on Senior Night. This road trip will test Hawai‘i in one of the biggest challenges in its season: winning away matches. UH has won just one of its 10 matches on the road. UCSD is ranked last in the MPSF and is currently on a fourgame losing streak. Its only wins this season came against USC, Cal Baptist and UCSB. The Tritons have won half of their home matches and have a similar problem to UH when it comes to road trips. San Diego has won one out of 11 away matches. Hawai‘i’s offense is run by junior setter Joby Ramos, who has 867 assists. Recently, there has been a

change in offense for the Warriors. Sophomore outside JP Marks and freshman outside Sinisa Zarkovic led UH at the beginning of the season. As the season continued, sophomore opposite Brook Sedore and junior middle Taylor Averill have made their way to the top of the kill leaderboard. Zarkovic continues to lead with 322 kills with Sedore, Marks and Averill following. The Tritons’ offense is led by junior setter Mike Brunsting with 540 assists. USCD kill leaders are senior outside hitter Carl Eberts with 271 and sophomore opposite Cheyne Hayes with 192 kills.

UPCOMING GAMES UH at UCSD (April 12 and 13) All matches are at 7 p.m. PT
