NICOLYN C HARLOT Associate Features Editor This Sunday, the University of Hawai‘i Art Gallery and Commons Gallery will feature the work of more than 20 graduating B.F.A. students in “PAUSE: Bachelor of Fine Arts Exhibition 2014.”

Most students in UH Mā noa’s Department of Art and Art History seek a Bachelor of Art degree. However, some students choose to spend extra time in college, often a year, in order to earn a Bachelor of Fine Art degree. At the end of each spring semester, these B.F.A. students display their work in UH Mā noa’s art gallery, where the public can come and view their pieces. B.F.A. students create their artwork during a class in the spring semester, and their work is always focused on a specific media area, such as painting or ceramics.

“They really represent the best that the Art Department has, the ones that have stood out in some way and/or the ones that are the most committed,” said Brad Taylor, associate professor of art.

Across from UH Mā noa’s primary art gallery is another gallery, which will feature the group work of students receiving B.F.A. degrees in graphic design. The graphic design students are the ones who came up with the title “PAUSE,” which is about the reflection of artists and contemplation of viewers.

THE CLASS Three professors who specialize in a range of media areas teach the course that the B.F.A. students take together during the spring semester.

This gives students the opportunity to receive critiques from a wide variety of perspectives, rather than just from individuals in their own field. Students also give critiques to their peers, and everyone is encouraged to interact as much as possible.

“I think just maybe some of the most important input that they get is from their friends and colleagues,” Taylor said.

“You need to learn how to accept and be able to give critiques because it’s a huge part of what art is these days. … Just being able to honestly talk about work is a really important thing, and it helps you develop your (own) work as well,” said Matias Braun, a B.F.A. senior in ceramics.

Braun explained that taking the class is like taking a crash course in what it is like to be a practicing artist. He learned things he would not have necessarily been taught in the B.A. program, such as how to make artist statements and the ability to prepare work for an exhibition.

T H E WA L K - T H RO U G H On May 2, the gallery will provide the public with an opportunity to do a walk-through with some of the artists. During this time, many of the B.F.A. artists will be given time to discuss their work and give viewers a more in-depth idea of what each piece is about.

“You get an insight that you would not get otherwise,” Braun said.

This walk-through will also give viewers a chance to ask the artists questions about their work.

While the walk-through is an excellent way for the public to learn more about the pieces in the gallery, it is also a valuable experience for the artists themselves. B.F.A. students are encouraged to develop the ability to speak about their work verbally and to write about it in artist statements, not just to create it.

“It’s another way to communicate information and provide another layer to that system, and it’s something that artists have to do,” Taylor said.

For those who are unable to make it to the walk-through but would like to know more about a piece, there will be an artist statement with infor-

mation next to each artwork, as well as the name of the artist. Faculty will also be able to provide contact information of the artists for those who are interested. Many students keep their pieces after the exhibition, but others sell or dispose of the work, depending on the circumstances.

C U L M I N AT I O N

“PAUSE” is the culmination of the work the B.F.A. students have done throughout the semester. On Sunday there will be an award ceremony for students in the Department of Art and Art History, and multiple B.F.A. students will be recognized there.

Though it has been a challenging process for all of the students working toward B.F.A. degrees, there are central goals to the process.

“With a B.F.A. you really have to dig deep. …

It just pushes you that much further, and you get that much more out of it,” Braun said.

“We’re trying to help these people develop as artists, and we’re doing everything we can to set them up to be successf ul profes siona l ly,” Taylor s a id.

Saturday, closed; Sunday, 12-4 p.m.

Student payment, bid services fixed at UH after Heartbleed security flaw filippo.io/Heartbleed

ILLUSTRATION BY KARI NOE / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

A LEX BIT TER Breaking News Coordinator Creators of online services that are used to make payments to and manage bids for contracts at the University of Hawai‘i have patched their systems after the university discovered it may have been affected by the Heartbleed bug.

The services were two of a handful that UH offi cials determined may have been impacted by the security fl aw in encryption software OpenSSL. Each of the affected services has been fixed during the last two weeks – an action that one university technology security expert says has limited the risk of exposure for personal information.

Researchers at Google discovered the fl aw in the widely used, open-source software earlier this month.

N O M A J O R S E RV I C E S A F F E C T E D Despite the use of OpenSSL on thousands of servers around the world, UH Information Security Officer Jodi Ito said only a few of the university’s online services were affected by the bug.

On the most commonly accessed services, such as Google@UH email and the main financial system, personal information was never vulnerable, she said.

“A few specialized UH services … had the vulnerable version of OpenSSL installed and (were) fi xed immediately,” she said. “Only a small subset of the UH community used those services and were asked to change their passwords.”

Among those services that contained security holes are SuperQuote, an electronic procurement system used to manage bids for goods and services that UH requests, and ITV Video-On-Demand, a website that allows students to review past interactive video class sessions.

TouchNet, a software used for one entry to the student account website, was also among the affected programs, according to a list compiled by UH’s Information Technology Services.

All sites with software that included the flaw have been fi xed, and users of those services should change their passwords, according to ITS. That recommendation comes even though important data, such as financial information, was never at risk, Ito said.

“Personal information was not used by those services and therefore was not exposed,” she said.

Other UH-related websites that do not store personal information online, such as the site of the University of Hawai‘i Professional Assembly, were not affected by the bug.

Though the bug had a minimal effect on the university, UH Computer Science Professor David Chin said the security problem could have been much bigger.

He said only a small portion of the systems that use OpenSSL were affected by the bug, but that scope wasn’t immediately known when researchers initially announced the flaw’s discovery.

“When I first heard about this, I was really scared,” he said. “I was prepared to change all of my passwords.

If it had affected every website that uses SSL , that would have been catastrophic.”

Chin said the incident’s implications, both locally and around the world, have provided a teachable moment for some of his department’s faculty. “(They’re) talking about this in class,” he said.

To fi nd out if a website you use has been patched, go to fi lippo.io/Heartbleed.

Be smart about STDs He po‘e aloha ‘āina anei kākou?

AUBREE M INAK AMI Contributing Writer

Na Kainoa Tengan

As a Planned Parenthood of Hawai‘i volunteer, I’ve been surprised at how many people have their facts completely backward when it comes to getting tested for sexually transmitted diseases.

Some people think getting tested is painful, time-consuming — or not even necessary. However, none of this is true. In fact, getting tested is easy and quick — and anyone who’s sexually active should get tested regularly.

A S E R I O U S T H R E AT STDs are a real threat to young people’s health. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, half of the 20 million people diagnosed with an STD each year are under 25, even though young people, ages 15-24, represent only 25 percent of the sexually active population.

The CDC also states that young people also account for the largest percentage of new HIV infections in the U.S. each year. In its 2012 report, 70 percent of all newly diagnosed chlamydia cases were among people under 25. The Hawai‘i Department of Health also found that Hawai‘i has the sixth worst chlamydia rate in all 50 states.

B E P ROAC T I V E Getting yourself tested for STDs is one of the most important things you can do to protect your health. STDs, if not treated, can lead to serious health outcomes such as increased risk of cervical cancer and infertility.

Rapid Human Immunodefi ciency Virus tests can provide results in 20 minutes from a swab inside the mouth. For other tests, all that is needed is a urine sample.

There are no needles necessary.

You can’t tell by looking at someone if they have an STD. Many people don’t even know

CDCNPIN.ORG/GYT

Hawai‘i has the sixth worst chlamydia rate in the U.S., according to the Hawai‘i Department of Health. they have one. This is because many STDs cause no symptoms.

MedlinePlus, the National Institutes of Medicine by the National Library of Medicine, reports that about 70 percent of women and 25 percent of men with chlamydia have no symptoms. On average, people with HIV don’t develop symptoms for 10 years. So the only way to know your status definitively is to get tested.

The good news is that most STDs, including HIV, are treatable, and many are curable. The sooner you know your status, the sooner you can get treated. Not all medical checkups include STD testing — so unless you ask to be tested, don’t assume you don’t have to.

BE SMART Getting tested is important for your sex life. Because many STDs show no symptoms, you or your partner may have an STD from a previous relationship and not know it. You can take care of yourself and your partner by talking about getting tested before getting intimate.

Some conversations may seem awkward to have, but they’re important for protecting both you and your partner’s health.

Consistent and proper use of condoms provides the best protection against STDs. Although they do not provide 100 percent protection, they are much safer. And to advocate for this safe practice, the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa holds a condom fair each year on Valentine’s Day to promote safe sex. Condoms are also provided at Student Health Services year-round.

Keep yourself healthy by making STD testing a routine part of your health care checkups — it’s a basic part of taking control of your sex life and staying healthy in the long run.

For more information, contact your local Planned Parenthood health center for STD testing, treatment and information to help you take charge of your sexual health.

‘Bows look to stay perfect in Big West tournament JOEY R AMIREZ Sports Editor @Joey_ _Ramirez After winning just once in its first nine matches, the Rainbow Warrior tennis team looked to many like a sinking ship.

But just one month later, the ‘Bows have proven to be more iceberg than Titanic, going undefeated in league play to capture their first-ever Big West Conference regular season title.

“It can get you down when you’re losing a few weeks in a row, a few matches in a row,” said senior Jonathan Brooklyn, who is 9-6 overall but 4-0 in conference play. “But you have to build up that resilience because without that you’re not going to be able to win conference anyway. It’s definitely character-testing and character-building at the same time.”

Despite such a rough beginning, Hawai‘i’s record did not reflect its true potential. In fact, head coach John Nelson intentionally crafted a merciless schedule that featured six ranked opponents and six road tilts in UH’s first nine matches.

“I really have never worried about a win-loss record as a coach,” said Nelson, who is 98-137 in 11 years at UH. “I’m more about the development of the players. I’m not surprised they did it. I was proud of them.

“We always play the best – anyone that will play us. We play the top teams in the country every chance we get.”

Nelson’s scheduling paid off as Hawai‘i grew from its experiences against the nation’s best. The ‘Bows (7-11, 4- 0 BWC) blazed through Big West play, steamrolling Cal Poly and UC Riverside 6 -1, while grinding out 4-3 wins over UC Davis and UC Irvine.

COURTESY OF UH ATHLETICS

Senior Jonathan Brooklyn holds an 18-3 conference record in his UH career.

Despite his team’s perfect conference record, Brooklyn claims that Hawai‘i has yet to live up to its dominant potential. He sees this weekend’s Big West Tennis Championships as an opportunity to thrash the league’s other teams, rather than simply beat them.

“I knew we could win every match,” he said. “I was actually surprised we were so close with Irvine and Davis. …

Instead of 4-3, we should be beating them 5-2, 6-1. And I know we’re very capable of that in this tournament.”

H E L L O B RO O K LY N Brooklyn has served as the catalyst for UH’s success this season, not only with his flawless Big West record but his ability to come through with the match on the line.

With his team trailing 3-2 against UC Davis, the Hillingdon, England, native pushed past Alec Adamson in three sets, which allowed Hawai‘i to steal victory in the doubles matches.

But Brooklyn’s fi nest moment came against UC Irvine’s top player, Ryan Cheung. Brooklyn dropped the first set but rallied to set up a decisive third frame with both teams tied at three and the Big West title on the line.

“The crowd goes crazy,” Nelson said. “Their team’s yelling. They act like they’ve won the match. It’s four-all in the third. And Jon stepped up and won eight points in a row. Four points in a row to break them and four points in a row to serve out the match to win.

“He’s aggressive by nature. He wants to come after people.

He moves forward, uses time well. He uses pressure well. He doesn’t sit back and let it happen. He’s gonna make it happen.”

Brooklyn, who is undefeated in his last eight Big West matches dating back to last season, is fueled by the opportunity to save his team from defeat.

“That’s what you practice for,” he said. “There’s nothing better than coming through (in) a close match. Whenever it gets close, I always feel like I’m the favorite.”

The regular season crown in hand, Brooklyn now turns his focus to Indian Hills, Calif., where a scathed UC Davis team waits to avenge its one-point loss to Hawai‘i. Still, he is anything but nervous.

“I think we definitely have the potential to beat them a lot quicker this time than before,” he said.

And if Brooklyn’s prophecy comes true, the ‘Bows will find themselves playing for the Big West Tennis Championship crown and a berth in the NCAA Tournament.

“I’d say we’re def initely the best team here, and we def initely have the potential to do that,” Brooklyn said. “ We’ve just gotta go out there and just play our own game and do the best we can. A nd the results will take care of themselves.”

Football concludes spring ball with Warrior Bowl scrimmage DAVID MCC R ACKEN Senior Staff Writer The past two weeks of practice for the Rainbow Warrior football team have been intense, to say the least. Scuffles, punches thrown and trash-talk from the defense reiterated by the offense could mean only one thing: Spring football has come to a close, and it’s finally time to strap on the helmets and get ready to lower the boom.

The Rainbow Warriors will finish its month of spring practice with the annual intrasquad Warrior Bowl on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. at the Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex.

The level of anticipation to get this upcoming season underway has been evident so far this spring, as the players are pumped up to engage in full contact with one another and show off to the public and students what they’ve been working on since the curtain fell last season.

“I’m looking forward to it,” sophomore quarterback Ikaika Woolsey said.

“I think we accomplished what we wanted to do, and I think we have a good grip on the playbook, and we just try to get better, which is something that we all strive for.”

The offense has had its ups and downs throughout the spring but came on strong the last couple of practices, much to the delight of head coach Norm Chow.

“It was fun today, and it was very competitive,” Chow said. “On offense, we tried to mix things up today to see what would happen, but it was nice to see how they responded like they did.”

Chow mixed up his offense and his play-calling due to the lack of progress they were making against the new 3-4 defensive scheme, which has given life to this year’s defensive corp.

“We’ve taken a lot of strides,” defensive coordinator Kevin Clune said. “It’s

just about playing with a level of consistency on every snap. Saturday is gonna be a good, fun day where a lot of players will come out and show a lot of good things and have a lot of people come out. The students should be out here supporting.”

T he scrimmage is especially exciting for senior linebacker Julian Gener, who missed Hawai‘i’s f inal nine games with an elbow injur y.

“I’m very excited,” he said. “Being out, being hurt last season hurt for me big time.

With Coach Clune and this defense, we’re ready to create some havoc out there with the athleticism and skill that we have.”

Student support hasn’t been the Warriors’ area of strength – especially regarding attendance at home games last season, where herds of empty orange seats in the student section were visible.

“I think it’s always important to have the young people and students to come because

they (the players) need support,” Chow said.

“People are waiting for us to be good to support us, but I think that it’s the other way around. I think that they should support us so that we can get better.”

UPCOMING GAMES Warrior Bowl When: Saturday, 3:30 p.m.

Where: Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex Cost: Admission is free.

Students will be able to sign up for the Spring Fling halftime contest from 2-3 p.m.
