Bachelor’s degree in public health to start next semester NOELLE F UJII News Editor The Office of Public Health Studies will be implementing UH Mā noa’s fi rst Bachelor of Arts degree in public health next semester. “This is kind of a new thing,” director of the Office of Public Health Studies Jay Maddock said. “We’ve seen, in the last 10 years, that public health programs across the country have been starting bachelor’s degrees in public health, and they’ve been really popular with students. So it’s really just a rethinking of public health education and starting it earlier in the student’s academic career rather than later.” The degree will encompass 36 major credits including public health core and elective courses as well as nine related credits in courses like calculus, Math 140 or higher, a statistics course and Psychology 100, according to Denise Nelson-Hurwitz, who will be teaching Public Health 201, Introduction to Public Health, in spring 2014. “The bachelor’s in public health is really focusing on how do we improve the health of populations,” Maddock said. “So this is looking at things like how do we improve clean water, improving health policy, improving health behaviors.”
A BAC H E L O R ʼS I N P U B L I C H E A LT H According to Maddock, the students who come into the degree are going to learn a variety of skills relating to public health. “They’re going to learn how to work with people to help them change their behaviors,” Maddock said. “They’re going to learn about the policy aspect and how
to work with the legislature to change policies to make them healthier. They’re going to learn things about environmental health and how we have sustainability and how we promote a clean environment and how that’s been going on for generations. They’re also going to learn about epidemiology, which is looking at epidemics in populations.” Maddock said students will be able to start the degree program as early as their freshman year. The Office of Public Health Studies has already been teaching some of the courses required for the degree, with some of them dating back fi ve years. These courses include Introduction to Public Health, SeminarGlobal Public Health and Introduction to Epidemiology. Michelle Tagorda, a pre-health adviser and graduate student, said Introduction to Public Health is a course for students to see if they’re interested in the field. “It’s a great exploratory course too for students that are just, you know, who may or may not be sure if they’re interested in public health, but it’s a great chance for them to really divert into getting the kind of concepts that they would need,” Tagorda said. Tagorda took classes in public health as an undergraduate. According to Maddock, these courses will now apply toward the degree. “In general, a degree in public health gives you a nice macro-scale perspective to healthcare,” Nelson-Hurwitz said. “So whereas in medicine and nursing you work one-on-one with a patient, public health really gives you that broader perspective to how healthcare works, how health in general works and really gives more of a community feel.” ISMAEL MA / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

date accreditation recommendation requirement for specific programs. He said each new program development begins with a request for permission to plan from the campus administration. “Permission may be granted or denied based on a set of justification criteria,” Gee said. “If granted, the planning proceeds from the proposing academic unit, go through review and defense approval at the school or college level, similarly at the campus faculty council/senate level, up to the campus administration, then to the senior administration (vice-president for academic affairs & human resources and the president’s office) for approval review before the new proposal may be channeled to the Academic Affairs Committee of the BOR.” He said the task of the committee is to “vet all proposals to ascertain that procedures have been duly followed and that the programs are fully justified by their proposers and relevant campus administrators.” “Given the fiduciary responsibilities of the BOR, denial may occur, though rarely, if a new program has no apparent demonstrated need, cannot be adequately funded, there are questionable overlaps or replication of existing programs, or does not seem to comply with a campus academic direction or system mission,” Gee said.
MASTER’S OF GEOSCIENCE DEGREE
Starting in spring 2014, students will be able to apply for the new master’s of geoscience degree that was approved at the Sept. 4 Board of Regents Academic Affairs Committee. The degree will be implemented in fall 2014, according to Garrett Apuzen-Ito, Ph.D., a professor in the Department of Geology and Geophysics. “(The) new degree is a professional masters in geoscience, and we’re abbreviating it as the MGO,” Apuzen-Ito said in a phone call. “That is, (it) emphasizes more applied work and those would be for students who want to do a higher degree and go and work at federal agencies or state agencies or an industry and
apply it to science. It’s a professional degree.” According to Apuzen-Ito, geoscience is the interactions of water and atmosphere with the solid earth. “Geosciences would be … sciences related to the study, primarily, of the solid earth,” Apuzen-Ito said. The degree requires 30 credits hours of graduate-level courses offered through the Department of Geology and Geophysics as well as upper-level undergraduate courses. “Those particular undergraduate courses emphasize, again, more applied work in industry,” Apuzen-Ito said.
Apuzen-Ito said students can also take courses in other related departments. “It’s designed for students who have a variety of backgrounds,” Apuzen-Ito said. Apuzen-Ito said the idea for this degree was conceived about six years ago. “We conducted an alumni survey, and we got lots of feedback from alumni and from other professionals in the field,” Apuzen-Ito said. “ And more recently, it’s been more heavily pursued, probably over the last two years, so the formal submission to request to plan for the degree went in, probably, maybe close to two years ago.”

The Descent (2005) IK AIK A SHIVELEY Staff Writer Sarah (Shauna Macdonald) decides to reconnect with her closest friends on their annual adventurous getaway. As the six women travel deep into the wilderness, they come across an uncharted cave. Once they descend deep into the caverns, they become caved in and must plummet even further into the abyss in search of a way out. As fear and disorientation begin to set in they discover that they are not alone. Cinematography is a key element of this film. Because they are trapped underground, natural light is limited; therefore, flashlights and flares become a main source. The occasional night vision camcorder is also used as a channel for moviegoers to be put directly into the film, giving a narrow field of vision and adding to the terror.
FEAR VERDICT “The Descent” is excellent at keeping viewers tense after the characters enter the darkness. The claustrophobia that’s experienced in the film transcends into the seats, making audiences extremely uncomfortable. Just as the claustrophobia sets in, the terror increases drastically when the blood thirsty inhabitants emerge.

The gray mask of online anonymity
The Huffington Post will no longer allow anonymous accounts on its site. CHASEN DAVIS KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
K EN R EYES Senior Staff Writer A can of gray spray paint, a cardboard mask, a few comments and perhaps a pseudonym are all it takes to become an anonymous contributor online. In the age of a tech-savvy society, the shadow of online anonymity has given users the freedom to express their thoughts and ideas without being recognized or judged by their identity. It has become a universal norm in various news, social networking and forum websites. However, though anonymity provides the masses liberty to speak their minds, it turns ugly when it becomes a platform for cyber-bullying and online bashing. A nonymity generates a lack of accountability and an air of cowardice in a person if it is abused.
WHERE DOES IT EXIST? There are different levels of anonymity: One form utilizes the use of a pseudonym, a false name, and another type uses no identity at all. In news sites such as The Star Advertiser, The New York Times, CNN and FOX News, there are readers and subscribers who go by pseudonyms as they
participate in a variety of discussions under the comments section of stories. On social networking and forum sites, anonymity and pseudonymity have become a norm in interactions between users. Tumblr, a popular blogging site, has a feature that enables users to send messages under anonymous identities. Question-and-answer sites like Formspring and Ask.fm accommodate users’ disguises as well.
T H E RO L E O F T RO L L S “Trolls,” also known as “f lamers” or “online bashers,” exist in the comments section of news stories, anonymous messages and forum threads. These people spark up heated discussions by throwing in “f lamebait” to solicit angry responses from others. Often, comments spark debate about sensitive topics such as gender, race, religion and politics. Whether “flamers” do it for entertainment purposes or to intentionally damage relationships, being anonymous gives them liberty to laugh and or cause confl ict behind a screen without being identified. Cyber-bullying is another negative outlet for anonymous users on social networking sites. Hate messages and attacks have been linked to teenage suicides such as the death of a 12-year-old girl in Miami a few weeks ago.
According to The New York Times, the victim was cyber-bullied through Facebook, Ask.fm, Kik Messenger and Voxer; the bullying prompted her to jump off a platform at an abandoned cement plant. While some may brush off these kinds of attacks, trolls and cyber-bullies have made a serious impact on the way we interact.
L AC K O F AC C O U N TA B I L I T Y Using anonymity online has become a nuisance to users who experience online bashing, and it clearly proves to be a problem for victims of cyber-bullying. A lack of accountability is an excuse for users who abuse the ability to remain unidentified online. “ Trolls have grown more vicious, more aggressive, and more ingenious,” said Jimmy Soni, managing editor of The Huffington Post media group. “As a re sult, comment sections can degenerate into some of the darkest places on the Internet. At Huff Post, we publish nearly 9 million comments a month, but we’ve reached the point where roughly three quarters of our incoming comments never see the light of day, either because they are f lat-out spam or because they contain unpublishable levels of vitriol.” In August, The Huffington Post announced that it would start banning users
from creating anonymous accounts on its site. That policy has been implemented this month. “From its earliest days, The Huffi ngton Post prioritized investing in its community. We wanted to create a positive environment for people to have a real conversation with each other,” Soni continued. Some criticized HuffPost, arguing that anonymity has its value and place in the online world by providing freedom to express ideas and concerns without fear of being condemned either by society or by the government. “What we should all fear is what too many in power want to see: the end of anonymity entirely. Governments, in particular, absolutely loathe the idea that people can speak without being identified,” said Dan Gillmor, who wrote a piece for The Guardian in defense of anonymity. While people have a right to free speech and a right to stand up for what they believe in, they should govern what comes out of their mouths or, in this case, out of their fingertips. Not all anonymous users are masked heroes. Some of them may be, in fact, trolls in disguise. It is easy to get caught up in fl ame wars or in sending hate mail anonymously. But it takes more guts to own up to one’s actions and speech and take off the crackled, gray mask called anonymity.

“My mother works for the federal government, so she could get affected by the shutdown. She said she would have to go to work without pay. It is not fair for her to have to go to work even though she is not getting paid. It is the government’s fault for not figuring out their fiscal policy and their budget limitations, not the workers. Pay should not be lost.”

Rainbow Warriors hungry for start of season JEREMY NIT TA Associate Sports Editor The Rainbow Warrior basketball team officially tipped off the 2013-14 season with a three-hour practice that covered everything from layups to inbounding defense. Hawai‘i, coming off a 17-15 record and a 10-8 fi nish in the Big West, is preparing to get its second season in the Big West underway. “I want to play for championships,” head coach Gib Arnold said. “We obviously want to be Big West champions and get a chance to play in the NCA A Tournament and experience March Madness.” This season, Hawai‘i may have the firepower to do so. UH returns four letterwinners from last year’s squad, including Big West fi rstteam selection senior forward Christian Standhardinger and coBig West Freshman of the Year Isaac Fotu, another forward. Also returning are seniors Brandon Spearman and center Davis Rozitis. “This is the most I’ve ever had, in terms of returnees,” Arnold said. “I feel that we have a veteran team, even though we are very young. I think we’re going to rely a lot on Christian, Spearman, Isaac and Davis to help the young guys catch up to speed. But I think those guys are going to be up to the task as leaders.” Hawai‘i also has a strong group of newcomers this season, highlighted by junior guard Keith Shamburger, a former standout from San Jose State who leads a group of new guards. “I think an emerging strength is going to be the athleticism of our guards,” A rnold said. “I feel this is the most
athletic group of guards that I’ve had. A lthough they’re unproven, I really like them, and I think we have a chance to be much quicker than we were last year. A nd if we’re quicker, then we’ll be able to get af ter people more defensively.” But one of the players A rnold has perhaps the highest hopes for is Fotu, who made an instant impact last season as a true freshman. Fotu, who averaged 10.1 points and 6.2 rebounds a game last season, is being encouraged by A rnold to take charge more this season. “He’s very productive and extremely unselfish,” Arnold said. “A big part of his transition to the next level will be to become a dominant offensive player. I think it’d even be okay if he takes a few bad shots. I think it’s time we give him the freedom to do that. I don’t remember him ever taking a bad shot last season. “Sometimes, it ’s about those guys being hungr y and (forcing) the issue a little bit. I think that he’s that good, and I have no problem with him stepping into that role.” In addition to the returnees, Arnold also has high hopes for his entire squad in general. “That’s every coach’s dream and goal to make the postseason, but wins will take care of themselves if you do the little things,” Arnold said. “So my emphasis will always be on getting them fundamentally sound, playing together. We’re going to be defense fi rst, with a ‘team wins’ mentality. I think we really need to step up from last year defensively. I think if we can play better defense, then we’ll see a lot more wins this season.”
Senior forward Christian Standhardinger led the Rainbow Warriors with 15.8 points per game last season. ISMAEL MA KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

‘Bows take their show on the road M ADDIE SAPIGAO Senior Staff Writer
Confidence is something that the Rainbow Wahine volleyball team (13-1, 2-0 Big West) isn’t lacking. After going four-for-four in preseason tournaments and sweeping Cal State Fullerton (76,0-1 BWC) and UC Riverside (112,0-1 BWC) this past weekend, the ‘Bows are going into their fi rst conference road trip with high hopes and expectations. “We played well on the road in Wichita, and that was pretty far for us to travel with that being said and done already,” senior outside hitter Emily Hartong said. “We are capable of going in just a short fl ight and playing well.” Hawai‘i will travel to California to play UC Irvine (9-7,0-2 BWC) and Long Beach State (87,1-1 BWC). Starters like Hartong and senior setter Mita Uiato are from Southern California, so the Rainbow Wahine have an even greater incentive to win. “It is really exciting going back to your hometown and see people who you grew up with that come and support,” Uiato said.
Last year, UH won both matches against LBSU. At home the Rainbow Wahine swept the 49ers with ease, but in Long Beach, the ‘Bows were challenged and dropped a set. LBSU’s lone senior Delainey AignerSwesey leads the 49ers in offense with 214 kills and is second in digs with 174 behind LBSU libero Tyler Jackson with 175 digs. “For the girls that were here last year, knowing that we went to fi ve with them at the (Walter) Pyramid, it is a little harder to play there,” Uiato said. Hawai‘i was victorious against UCI in both matches last year. Just like LBSU, the ‘Bows crushed the Anteaters at home in three sets but struggled at the Bren Center in Irvine. The ‘Eaters took the Rainbow Wahine to fi ve sets, but eventually lost in the fi nal frame 15-10. The Anteaters are led offensively by senior Aly Squires with 200 kills and 167 digs. Leading UCI defensively is freshman Arden Davis with 177 digs. “It’ll be different in their atmosphere in their own arena, but I don’t think those kind of elements really affect us that much

as long as we are bringing the energy and communicating on the court,” Hartong said. The Rainbow Wahine have had impressive away records in years past, and this year shouldn’t be any different. But the ‘Bows can’t let their guard down when playing LBSU and UCI on the road, as both teams
will be looking for revenge against UH. Currently leading the Rainbow Wahine is Hartong with 220 kills and 136 digs. Following behind her is junior middle hitter Kalei Adolpho with 113 kills and 40 blocks. Uiato has tallied 529 assists and 26 kills, while senior libero Ali Longo leads defensively with 209 digs.
