The Budget and Finance Committee consists of four regents, according to its website.

Regents delay decision on slowing tuition hikes BRIAN CHEUNG STAFF WRITER

UH’s Board of Regents rejected a proposal to slow a scheduled increase in tuition at its Oct. 9 meeting, opting to wait until the state to approve the university’s budget next spring. Tuition at the Manoa campus would have gone up by two percent annually rather than the current 7.5 percent yearly increase under the plan. Instead, the regents said they will wait for the state legislature to approve the university’s budget for the next two years, a choice that will delay action on tuition until next May. UH President David Lassner drafted the university’s budget request for the next two years and updated the committee on the request at the Oct. 9 meeting.

“[Utilities] has been a major drain on tuition revenue,” Lassner said. He added that the university will request additional funding from the state government to maintain the increasing costs. Once the state approves the budget to cover the utilities, the board will consider dropping the current 7.5 percent tuition increase rate to 2 percent. UNANNOUNCED DECREASES?

The Board also decided that it will no longer notify students in advance to decrease tuition rates since the board’s Committee on Budget and Finance approved this at its meeting on Oct. 9. “Removing the advance notice requirement provides the administration and the Board (of Regents) with the flexibility to reduce rates based on up-to date budget infor-

mation,” said Joanne Itano, the interim executive vice president for academic affairs. The Board is still obligated to inform students when it raises tuition. A PLAN TO SAVE MONEY

According to the UH system operating budget request, a large portion of general funds will pay for the university’s utilities. Stephen Meder, UH Mānoa interim assistant vice chancellor for planning and facilities introduced a project to manage electricity usage on the campus. Meder said UH Mānoa is working with Hawai‘i Energy, a third-party energy efficiency program in the state, to update an energy benchmark and understand the energy landscape on the campus. He said it will help to monitor electricity meters and save

energy across the campus. He is also looking to set up a control system for internal lighting and air conditioning. “We should put more in educational mission, that’s why we did this project and try to take out the electricity cost. It should use for the future education,” Meder said. THE STATE’S FUNDS

According to Laurel Johnston, the director of the UH System Budget Office, general funds are appropriated to the university in a fixed amount. But tuition has to be charged by semester as it is variable and depends on situations. “Because community colleges have very little tuition, their budget has 30 percent from tuition and 70 percent from general funds. But for Mānoa, it is 50 and 50, because it charges more tuition,” Johnston said.

The university has to compete with other state agencies for funding, she said. While the amount of money UH receives from the state has gone up in the last few years, Johnston said it still hasn’t reached pre-recession levels. She said the governor could cut the amount of general funds after the Legislature has approved it, as happened in the recession period in financial year 2010 when the state government cut the general fund appropriation to $361 million, which is $62 million less than financial year 2009. UH will submit the budget request to the governor before he submits it to the Legislature in December.

UH explores condensed summer courses

LYLE AMINE / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

Summer sessions have numerous course formats, ranging in lengths from three weeks to 12 weeks. ERIC ANCHETA CONTRIBUTING STAFF WRITER

The Outreach College of the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa is exploring new options for condensed summer sessions. The idea is to make summer sessions more accessible for students by offering shorter, more intense courses. This will provide students with more time off over the summer break, said Harriet Abe, interim associate dean for Mānoa’s Outreach College. “The Outreach College is working to get more departments to offer these shorter intensive courses. With shorter terms, students are afforded the opportunity to conduct internships as well as complete other college courses,” Abe said.

resulting in greater, more enjoyable learning, Chismar said. The current structure of summer sessions goes back many years and was designed to allow two sessions in the 14-week summer, with one week free after the end of the

spring semester and before the fall semester. However, in practice, summer has many different course formats, including three, four, five, six, eight, 10 and 12-week courses, according to Chismar.

DEMAND FOR INTENSIVE COURSES

The Outreach College is responding to student – and faculty – demands for courses taught in an intensive format – three-credit courses taught in three or four weeks – according to William Chismar, dean of the Outreach College. “The format allows students to complete a course in a short time, freeing up the rest of the summefor other things. The intensity of the course, 2.5 hours per day, every day for three weeks, allows students to immerse themselves in a subject,” Chismar said in an email interview. An added benefit to intensive courses is that closer relationships are formed among students and between students and faculty,

ness major Brian Thewin. “Summer is supposed to be a time to relax from school and not jam our brains with intensive course. A longer term is best for those that want more time off,” Thewin said.

A BETTER SUMMER?

Some students are happy with the current summer course and don’t believe intensive courses are good for everyone. “The intensive courses will put more stress on the students outside of the classroom, which could lead to bad performance in the class,” marine biology major James Henry said. Another student has an opinion that is two-fold. Longer courses allow for more time off in between classes which gives students mo re time to enjoy their off time during summer, but for people that want to get their course done faster it is a good option, according to busi-

The Outreach College takes students comments and concerns into account when deciding on what works best for students and meets routinely to discuss new innovations for administering summer sessions, according to Ann Brandman, the college’s public information officer. “The UH at Mānoa was the host of this year’s WASSA (Western Association of Summer Session Administrators) conference. Discussed during the conference were new innovations such as utilization social media and course lengths,” Brandman said.

bring together different campuses and share fresh ideas on summer sessions, according to Abe. “WASSA allows administrators to come together and share ideas and the best practices of what works for students,” Abe said. Hosting the conference raised the visibility and status of UH Mānoa among other universities, Chismar said. “It gave UHM a chance to show its campus and the good things happening here. Participants were particularly impressed with the STAR system and the beauty of our campus,” Chismar said. INTENSIVE COURSES THIS PAST SUMMER

ducted a survey to receive student feedback, most of which was positive, according to Abe. Some intensive courses surveyed in the summer term were ART 400 (Special Topics: Painting Marathon), KRS 478 (Adapted PA in Early Childhood), FAMR 360 (Family Resource Management), THEA 476 (Puppetry) and BUS 314 (Business Finance). Students are not expected to see any immediate changes to how summer sessions are administered, and students are encouraged to complete end of course surveys to help the Outreach College better serve the student population, Abe said.

Medical school makes funding cuts manageable MAKING CUTS MANAGEABLE

success of previous research such as the world’s first cloning of a mouse,” Shelton said. She added that these efforts to bring in the extra funding not only help with the discovery of new scientific breakthroughs but also help JABSOM as the medical campus is required to be completely self-sustaining. All maintenance of the buildings, salaries of the faculty and other expenses must be paid for by JABSOM. UH Mānoa and the UH system also benefit as 50 percent of outside funding acquired goes to help fund the other campuses. RECEIVING GRANTS

Despite the John A. Burns School of Medicine’s (JABSOM) top funder receiving budget cuts, the school continues to maintain its forward momentum in the field of biogenetics research with help from its team of researchers and by using the money it is currently receving to build a self-sustaining research facility. According to a National Insititutes of Health (NIH) fact sheet, in March 2013, President Barack Obama signed an order that initiated a process known as sequestration for the institute’s fiscal year 2013 budget. This required the organization to cut its budget by five percent or $1.55 billion. This cut affected research in universities nationwide, and according to Talia Ogliore, public information officer for the Office of the Vice Chancellor of Research at UH Mānoa, dropped the amount received by University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa during the federal stimulus years from $68 million to between $40-$44 million a year since 2012. “In recent years, UH Mānoa has increasingly sought to diversify our funding sources for health-related research, looking for additional

opportunities with state, local and private health organizations and Hawai‘ i non-profits, many of which have medical missions,” Ogliore said in an email interview. According to Ogliore, this research funding has come from various medical facilities such as the Queen’s Medical Center, Kapi‘olani Medical Center for Women and Children and Kuakini Medical Center.

TALIA OGLIORE, COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER FOR THE VICE CHANCELLOR FOR RESEARCH 

The amount of funding JABSOM has received from the National Institute of Health has decreased since 2012 due to sequestration.

A grant awarded recently to the Institute for Biomedical Research comes from the Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) and is designed to help with the development of a robust, self-supporting institute. According to Shelton, this will only help to strengthen a strong staff of researchers that are constantly moving the departments forward. According to JABSOM Grants Specialist Tammy Ho, this $10.8 million grant will be used to bring on four new junior investigators and a senior investigator. This grant also gives the school the abil-

ity to expand the core services of the biomedical research lab, which focuses on reproductive biological research such as transgenic mice and in vitro fertilization. “Our researchers, per capita, have been incredibly productive and are able to continue to lasso grants, or expand existing ones, based on their performance, and also because we center our research on fighting health disparities,” Shelton said in an email interview. “Problems which affect some people in Hawai‘i disproportionately, such as diabetes or cardiovascular challenges, sometimes diseases which are of higher incidence in different cultures. As the nation grows more diverse, we are an ideal model of what the U.S. mainland will be like in a few decades.” According to Ogliore, JABSOM has a bright outlook for the future and sees this as an opportunity to grow and expand its research laboratories. A recent renewal of NIH’s RMATRIX grant, which will bring in $15.4 million over the next five years, will help to expand the research of health disparities of Hawai‘i residents, according to a JABSOM press release. The main goal of this grant is to learn why some of Hawai‘i’s residents live long lives while others struggle to survive past their fifties. Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

From Hawai‘i County to Indonesia, the National Disaster Preparedness Training Center (NDPTC) is making a global effort to share information that is relevant to communities across the world to become more resilient to disasters. “Our role is to share content, curriculum training and educational materials,” Karl Kim, chairman of the National Domestic Preparedness Consortium said in a phone interview. “We try to customize it or make it relevant for a particular place so that even though the material is made up and developed in the U.S., we have to make it suitable for use in Indonesia or the Philippines, where the systems of government are different, where the culture is different and the practices are different as well.” After traveling to Indonesia earlier this year and working with the Bandung Institute Technology, Gadjah Mada University and the Islamic University of Indonesia, Kim said the NDPTC exchanged information on issues related to climate change,

sea level rise and adaptation to different types of coastal hazards. Although the NDPTC is working with diverse cultures, the natural hazards common in Indonesia are similar to those prevalent in Hawai‘i. “They [Indonesia] have more than 100 active volcanoes and something like 17,000 islands, so because we share so many similar hazards, there are similar opportunities to exchange information to learn about disaster risk reduction,” Kim said. According to Kim, who is also a professor in the campus’s Department of Urban and Regional Planning, not only did they have the chance to share information and methods related to hazard and risk assessment, but it also allowed them to look at strategies for building communities to withstand the disasters. “It’s really fascinating in Indonesia too because they have so many volcanoes, and like Hawai‘i County, they have to learn how to live with the risk and how you do that,” he said. “Part of it is having a good connection between the science and the decision making so that people understand what the warning signs are of

the volcanoes, and what could be done to prepare or lessen the harm that comes from volcanoes.” The NDPTC works closely with scientists from UH Mānoa, Kim said, including Bruce Houghton, a professor of volcanology at UH who leads the volcano hazard class. “We look at the different types of hazards, threats and ways in which people can be harmed by volcanoes, lava, by projectiles or by volcanic gas,” Kim said. “Then we look at strategies for coping with these types of hazards, and look at detection and warning systems and evacuation planning.” A part of the work NDPTC is doing integrates urban planning into disaster risk reduction to not just

detect and have warning systems for the different types of hazards, but to know how to build communities to better withstand and quickly recover from disasters. Kim said a lot of the work focuses on how people measure and understand risk, which he described as “the likelihood times the consequences of the event,” as well as how they manage it. NDPTC can then both exchange and learn from this information. “What we’re interested in are the high consequences in that, where many people have the potential to be killed, injured or lose their homes,” he said. Currently, NDPTC is developing a “Just-In-Time” training class for

emergency responders and others in the community to support the state, local and county government on the Hawai‘i Island, where a lot of information is needed in the Puna district, Kim said. The NDPTC has done mapping work and is trying to advise and assist where possible in the severely impacted areas of the island. “It’s very timely if you think about what’s happening in Puna right now, with the lava advancing and living with it. That volcano has been erupting continuously for the past 30 years,” he said. “It’s really important to understand how people adjust to adapt to these kinds of hazards and risks, and that’s what we’re there to study.”

The protests in Hong Kong have been in the world’s focus in past week. The protests, which are collectively called the “Umbrella Revolution,” are more than a democracy movement: they’re also an explosion of political conflict between the People’s Republic of China-influenced Hong Kong government and its citizens. It was a show of dissent unprecedented in Hong Kong’s 17 years of rule under the People’s Republic. And as the protests continue, the struggle for Hongkongers will be harder and harder, but it willl not be enough. The struggle by the Hong Kong residents reveal the nature of the People’s Republic of China, and it is one that is not attractive. This conflict goes back to 1997, when Britain transferred control of Hong Kong to China. The event marked the beginning of a long struggle for democracy against the authoritarian China. FALSE DEMOCRACY

When the British government decided to transfer Hong Kong to the PRC in the 1997, Hongkongers demanded democracy and the right of self-government. At the time, the Chinese government supported the democratic activists. Beijing promised to give universal suffrage and democracy to Hong Kong, but it never clarified what kind of democracy would be given. The activists continued demanding universal suffrage for electing chief executives and the legislative council after Hong Kong transferred its sovereignty to China in 1997. Beijing approved a proposal for the general election of the chief executive in August, but it said only two or three candidates would be allowed and that they must be nom-

inated by a 1,200-member nominating committee. That committee is not elected by the people, and under this system, people can’t nominate candidates. They only vote for certain candidates who have been approved by the government. This is a false representation of the democracy that Beijing promised, and it is not what a real democracy looks like. People’s right to vote is controlled, and they won’t have a true election under the system set up by the PRC. Emily Lau, Chairwoman of Hong Kong Democratic Party (DPHK) said, “North Koreans get a vote, but that doesn’t mean it’s democracy.” A new leader who is elected by this system will claim him or herself as “elected by the people,” even though that’s not the case. Through this system, it may also make it hard for the democrats to fight against the Beijing-approved authority, since the government claims they are “supported” by the people. CPC’S BAD CREDIT

China’s communist party, which overthrew the Republic of China and has ruled the country since 1949, has a complicated relationship with Hong Kong’s democracy movement. After World War II, the British government restored Hong Kong and tried to establish a general-elected legislature to democratize the colony. However, the communists opposed the Britain plan. With threats from the Communists, British stopped the democratization and remained with the colonial government. The party denied their earlier actions, and pretended to support Hong Kong’s democracy development. The party promised to promote democracy in China and it earned the Chinese people’s trust in the 1940s, but the promises were never kept.

Today, the party is still infamous for oppressing minor ethnic groups and other dissenters in Mainland China. It is hard to trust an autocratic government that promises to give full democracy to Hong Kong. Furthermore, most of the party’s leaders do not have a political idea of liberalism. As an official said, Hong Kong’s leader must “love the country (China) and love Hong Kong,” and indicated some Democrats would not be acceptable to lead the city. The official even claimed that, “the central government [Beijing] is largest democratic group” of Hong Kong. This shows the party’s ignorance of democracy and liberty. It is very important to be tolerant and understanding with different ideas in a democratic society. The party won’t allow democracy because it doesn’t like those who oppose them. HONG KONG’S FUTURE

For a century and a half, Hong Kong was a British colony and enjoyed western-style liberties. Now, it’s become the subordinate of a communist state. This is Hong Kong’s problem today, and Hongkongers are concerned that “the city is dying.” The results of the protest are unpredictable. Protesters may win some changes, but the people’s voice is not strong enough to make the party give up control of Hong Kong. This should be a warning for the U.S. It shows today’s China is not a “peaceful rising” country. The U.S. government won’t help Hong Kong achieve democracy now, but we need to beware of Hong Kong’s development and the growing influences of China in the future.

Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

In August of this year, two Micronesian males disturbed the online community after posting a picture of themselves next to a dead sea turtle with its neck wide open. Although action has been taken to find out the identity of the two men, the focus needs to remain on how to prevent this from happening in Hawai‘ i. It was unethical for the two males to publicly post the picture on the Internet. They subjected viewers to the violence of the killing and it showed little sensitivity. There was a question of whether the photo was taken in Hawai‘ i or in Micronesia, but regardless of the location, the killing of a sea turtle was wrong. I have learned from my Micronesian mother that it is OK to hunt and kill turtles in certain parts of Micronesia, especially in the Marshall Islands. But under the Endangered Species Act, turtles cannot be hunted, bothered or consumed in Hawai‘i. KILLING TURTLES FOR THEIR MEAT

In 2012, Hawai‘i locals were advocating for the hunting and killing of turtles for their meat to be legal. The Association of Hawaiian Civics Club proposed the suggestion in February 2011, asking that “Hawaiian green sea turtles be reclassified as a ‘distinct population segment,’ and that this distinct population be considered for ‘delisting’ from the United States Endangered Species List.” Charles Kaaiai, a member of the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council and the civics club, discussed how he was raised hunting and eating turtles. He also argued that the turtle population has increased, and that federal laws may no longer be needed. Pacific Whale Foundation Conservation Manager Laura Campbell disagreed, reinforcing the fact that turtles are still in danger due to fishing nets and rising sea levels in our state. WHAT CAN BE DONE?

There are countless Environmental Protection Organizations at our fingertips to educate outsiders about the laws in Hawai‘ i. It is vital that outsiders know about the social, political, and economical laws. I believe this is important for anyone visiting another country. It is not meant as a restraint,

but as a way to understand the different cultures, and to learn to better accept the differences we come across. We can offer events at Hawai‘ i airports where foreigners are educated about the laws and ways to conserve and care for the wildlife here in our state as they visit. Pamphlets can also be handed out on the plane, and educational videos about local animals can be shown prior to landing. I believe that there are ways in which the public can be educated about important laws, and these ideas don’t have to pertain to only Hawai‘ i. I also believe that we cannot get angry at the two men and assume that people know what to do, even if it may seem obvious. “We can’t blame the two men because it is an accepted part of their culture to eat turtles. Here in Hawai‘i, there is a different mentality. I am an advocate for the protection of animals, but at the same time, how can we get angry if that is the culture they grew up in their entire lives,” Monica McConnell, a senior at the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa said. She also shared an experience she had with turtles. “I used to watch the sunset at the beach, and saw turtles on the beach that had died naturally. It is a big concern when turtles are killed by fishing lines or by humans. It becomes a different story,” McConnell said. The Micronesian men might not have been trying to offend anyone. But they may have intended to post the photo as an act of violence, in which case this should motivate others to inform the public about the environmental laws. Moani Terukina, a senior English major, was shocked by the actions of the two men, and believes in the protection of turtles and other marine wildlife. She leaves the situation with a thought-provoking idea: “We shift from survival mode for ourselves to helping other creatures of the environment to survive too,” she said. The men need to know that what they did was wrong. But there needs to be a mutual understanding that we are all different and come from different cultures. With this understanding in our minds, we will be able to move forward in a more positive light.

ANTOINETTE RANIT / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

The first person to be diagnosed with Ebola in the U.S. was able to pass through three screenings at the airport before boarding his plane.

Protection against Ebola starts with air travel ban Ensure the safety of our country before it is too late KRISTEN PAUL BONIFACIO OPINIONS EDITOR

After making headlines in February of this year, Ebola has been an isolated problem. But it was only a matter of time before the disease reached the United States. The first diagnosed Ebola patient in the U.S. reminds us that we no longer have the safety of distance and in jeopardy of a full-scale epidemic. It is critical that our government takes action to ensure the safety of the American public. A 21-day restriction on people who wish to enter the U.S. and originated from countries with an Ebola outbreak, along with an air travel ban on incoming flights from Ebola-stricken countries is needed to protect our country from this deadly disease. THE CURRENT PROTOCOLS

According to the exit screening guidelines set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), airport screening for travelers possibly infected with Ebola includes health questionnaires, observations for signs of the disease and checking for temperatures above 101.5 degrees Fahrenheit. Although these protocols might be effective in identifying potentially infected travelers, it only screens for people who exhibit noticeable symptoms. The incident with Thomas Eric Duncan, the first Ebola patient in the U.S.,

is an example of how the protocol is flawed. Having traveled from Liberia, Duncan was screened before departing his home country. According to Binyah Kesselly, the board chairman of the Liberian Airport Authority, Duncan passed through three screening checkpoints, where his temperature was taken each time. However, Duncan was able to pass through the checkpoints because at that time, he did not exhibit symptoms and his temperature was below 101.5 degrees. Duncan was also believed to have lied on the health questionnaire that was given to him.

If a traveler unknowingly came into contact with a person with Ebola just days before they decided to travel, there is a window of 21 days at most before they start showing visible symptoms. Meaning, they will pass every temperature screening at the airport. This was how Duncan was able to fly to the United States. Like him, any traveler can also lie on a health questionnaire knowing they will get detained if their answers will cause concern.

argument against the ineffectiveness of a travel ban on direct flights, is that Duncan did not arrive to the U.S. on a direct flight from Liberia. Infected travelers can book flight to the U.S. with multiple layovers bypassing any travel ban from direct flights. However, this can be addressed with a 21-day restriction on anyone who wants to enter the U.S. who departed from an Ebola-stricken country.

IS A BAN NECESSARY?

These restrictions sound selfish, but they are necessary to protect our country. It’s absurd to argue that allowing potentially infected people to enter the U.S. is a better option than regulating who enters the country. It’s evident that the current method of screening doesn’t work so something has to be done. Even if our country’s healthcare system is not the same as those in countries suffering from an Ebola outbreak, this issue has to be taken with the highest level of precautions. The incident with Duncan and other patients in the U.S. who could potentially have Ebola are not problems yet because they are few, but what if the infected become 30, 40 or 50 people? Will the U.S. be ready? With only experiment drugs available, it seems like we’re not.

PRIORITIZING WHAT’S BEST

Since the White House has not advocated a travel ban from any countries with an Ebola outbreak,

The current Ebola incidents are not a problem yet because they are few, but what if the infected become 30, 40 or 50 people? Will the U.S. be ready? Eight days after his arrival in the U.S., Duncan fell ill and was admitted to a Texas Hospital. Days later, the CDC confirmed that he was suffering from Ebola and died last week. If the U.S. continues to allow travelers from countries where the Ebola epidemic is persisting, the chances of another similar situation happening is likely. Furthermore, the current screenings at airports are pointless since the incubation period for Ebola is between 2-21 days according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which has the sole authority over concerns with air travel, has not imposed any restrictions on flights from Ebola-stricken countries on major U.S. airlines, besides the current screenings that have already been done. Opponents of a travel ban argue that it won’t work, and it will make it difficult to provide help to West African countries. However, if the U.S. wants to provide help, they still can. A travel ban will not make it impossible. Further fueling the

The average fatality rate for Ebola is around 50 percent, but can reach up to 90 percent. There are currently no vaccines available to treat the deadly disease. Over 3,000 people have died from the current Ebola outbreak. The current outbreak is the largest Ebola outbreak since the disease was first discovered. The countries most affected by the current Ebola outbreak are Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia. Ebola is transmitted through contact with bodily fluid from infected beings, dead or alive. The first Ebola outbreak happened in 1976. The RO, or the average reproduction rate of the disease per infected person, is two. A nurse in Spain became the second confirmed case of Ebola outside of West Africa. Over 7,000 people in West Africa have been infected with Ebola. British Airways and Emirates Air Line have stopped their flights to West Africa.

Some games are meant to entertain, while others are a tool to pass time. While “Dumb Ways to Die” is entertaining, its goal is to spread awareness on rail safety. Put together by Metro Trains in Melbourne, Australia, this public service campaign gained popularity following the release of a music video that has over 89 million views on YouTube. A year later, the app “Dumb Ways to Die” became available to the public. The music video that started it all can be found at the main menu, which includes a humorous tune. The app itself is as fun as the campaign is inspirational. Similar to games such as “WarioWare” or “The Impossible Quiz,” “Dumb Ways to Die” is perfect for any gamer with a short attention span looking for a challenge. Each mini game is about 15 seconds or less and shortens as you progress further into the game. Inw each stage, players will have to save the character from a “dumb” death. Completion of a stage will lead to anticipation for the next escape from death. Score is kept, encouraging players to replay to obtain a higher score. Each 200-point margin reached will unlock another mini game until all 18 are collected. The use of black humor and music reminiscent of a classic 8-bit side scroller keeps the game unique and replayable.

The exhibit looks at ancient culture and contemporary issues with one-of-a-kind pieces. DANA BREWER STAFF WRITER

The East-West Center opened its doors on Sept. 28 to a collection of Indian art that displays the narratives of folklore that stretches the expanse of both India’s cultural geography and history. The exhibit addresses narratives of ancient culture, as well as contemporary issues such as HIV. Many of these Indian storytelling pieces have never been viewed by the public, or have left their place of creation just for the exhibit. All of the art in the exhibit is detail-oriented and made from natural materials. “I think these are living traditions, and living traditions alter and refer to the past and they also look to the present,” Michael Schuster, curator for the East-West Center Arts Program. “And I think that’s particularly true in the continuity of these traditions – that’s what’s so gorgeous of them, so alive.”

It’s easy to imagine the different deities holding a conversation in the absence of an audience. For many, the art being displayed in the “Colorful Stories” exhibit is far from being just art. Each piece is in part – a deity, a lesson, a tradition, a story or a blessing. Within each piece, there is a narrative meant to be performed for an audience, based on the storytelling of the deities across the expanse of India. Colorful stories are exactly what one can expect to see at this gallery. Schuster decided what would be suitable for the gallery and helped to gather these pieces together – even contributing from his personal collection – to represent the vast cultures scattered across India. “They are done in a multiplicity of styles and forms and cultures, because all those cultures are different; some are narrative-performing cultures, some are Muslim, some are Hindu, some are Muslim-Hindu, some are women, some are only men,” Schuster said. “India

is a variety. It’s as different as England is to Spain – we are talking about a million people here.” The gallery offers a variety of information that a viewer may need to experience multiple times in order to digest everything on display. There are also many mediums used, from informative videos and carved wood to fabric textiles – hand-painted using dyes made from natural minerals. Before “Colorful Stories,” much of the artwork had never been displayed for public viewing. “I just think the exhibit is a wonderful example of how our gallery staff focuses on sharing living arts traditions from throughout Asia and the Pacific that would otherwise not be seen in here, in Hawai‘ i and often have never received exposure outside of their home areas,” Derek Ferrar, EastWest Center’s spokesman, said. To top off all of the detailed artwork, informative videos and comprehensive exhibit, there are many events happening throughout the semester. These include a talk on Oct. 5 by Gita Kar, a guest artist who “weaves oral narratives from India’s folk and epic traditions with the painted story songs from her heartland,” according to the East-West Center’s website. Some of Gita Kar’s artwork can be viewed for the first time at the exhibit. The opportunity to view the collection is free as are the events taking place.

Scratch Kitchen & Bake Shop A blend of homey ambiance with innovative cuisine

Scratch prepares each dish with local ingredients, adding a creative twist to everyday favorites.

JESSICA HOMRICH STAFF WRITER

While most new restaurants find it difficult to get their service and menu polished from the start, Scratch Kitchen & Bake Shop has the makings of a local favorite. Before dining at Scratch, I had heard mixed reviews about it, so I knew I had to try it out for myself. With brunch being my favorite meal, I was hoping that Scratch would hit the spot. Scratch is located in the heart of Chinatown. Each dish is prepared with local ingredients and from scratch right in their kitchen. AMBIANCE

Located near other small businesses, Scratch blends in on the streets of Chinatown. However, once inside the building, it feels like walking into another world. The building has a maximum capacity of 50 people, and the cozy interior has a homey feel. We arrived at approximately 11 a.m. It was busy, as customers flooded in for lunch rush. The

host was friendly, giving us an accurate wait time of 15 minutes while assuring us that the wait would be worth it. The waiting space was a downside for the visit. Providing only a small bench located in the doorway, most people had to stand or wait outside

MENU

Scratch serves a variety of options on their breakfast, lunch and dinner menus. They also serve a variety of beer, wine and cocktails to accompany meals. Their menu prices range from $7-$22 depending on the time of day.

Scratch’s menu items, friendly staff and cozy interior make it hard to not want to go back for breakfast every morning. until their table was ready. However, the wait wasn’t long for the small establishment. It also allowed for extra time to ponder the items on the menu before being seated. There was creative artwork made for scratch hanging on the walls, giving it its own personal touch. Our waitress was friendly and on top of things. She made sure to check on us, answer any questions and get us whatever we needed, but not to smother us while we enjoyed our meal.

My companion and I ordered from the breakfast menu, which is available to order from all day. We both ordered the B.L.T. Benny ($12), a delicious spin on an eggs Benedict meal. Plated with arugula, tomatoes and two crispy potatoes on the side, the B.L.T. Benny comes on an English muffin with bacon, tomato, arugula, poached eggs and hollandaise sauce. It’s enough food to share between two people but can also be eaten by one person. We also ordered the Pulled Pork Won Ton Posolé ($8) from the

lunch menu. It’s a chili-type dish for the spicy food lovers. It comes in a chipotle-lime crema base with slaw and tortilla strips on top.

TASTE

The B.L.T. Benny was one of the best eggs Benedict meals I’ve had. The flavors paired with the B.L.T. twist make the dish delectable and unforgettable. It was a creative rendition on a typical breakfast item. The Posolé was delicious, but I wouldn’t recommend pairing it with the B.L.T. Benny. The spiciness was a dramatic change compared to the flavors of the B.L.T. Benny. Though just scratching the surface as a new restaurant in Chinatown, Scratch’s menu items, friendly staff and cozy interior make it hard to not want to go back for breakfast every morning. Give it a try and order the B.L.T. Benny, you won’t be disappointed. Be sure to give their madefrom-scratch baked good items a try as well. The bake shop has scones, cookies, donuts and more.

When the song changes to Bruno Mars’ “Treasure” they pick up their pace across the ballroom floor. Another song change, and they again speed up their pace and clap to the beat of Pharrell Williams’ song “Happy” while jumping over the two clashing wooden sticks. These are the new beats and rhythms that are echoing through the walls of Hemenway Hall, the meeting place for the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Tekniqlingz Dance Crew. The Tekniqlingz Dance Crew was first created in 2008 through a dance workshop hosted by the UH Katipunan Club, a traditional and modern Philippine folk dance group that focus on encouraging more American youth to participate in creative arts and entertainment through dance. When founder and director Gabe Torno was still a member of the Katipunan Club, he created dance workshops to bring dance to Hawai‘ i’s youth. With his undeniable passion for dancing his dance workshops evolved into the Tekniqlingz Dance Crew. “I started dance workshops, which eventually led to a long term creation of the club mainly for the ultimate reason for preserving and promoting Filipino-American youth culture,” Torno said. “In reality, there are hardly any Filipino dance groups on the island of O‘ahu or

even in the state of Hawai‘i for that matter. I noticed that there was a need for someone or somebody or some entity that had to represent and step up, and that led to the Tekniqlingz Crew.” Although the dance crew often incorporates a variety of traditional folk dances such as tinkiling, carinosa, sakuting, pandanggo sa ilaw, itik itik and maglalatik into their performances they also perform more modern styles of dance inspired by hip-hop.

supportive and encouraging group of people has given me a boost of self-esteem.” “Not only have I gained a greater appreciation of my culture, but I have gained some amazing friends for life,” Tekniqlingz member Nichelle Soriano said. “It’s a hobby, a love, and when you bring in the whole cultural aspect and how we are helping showcase it to the public, there’s a great realization that comes through. For me, this realization is that I dance

“I thought it would be a unique experience since it was an integration of my culture into a world of hip-hop.” – CHARLES JARQUIO MEMBER OF DANCE CREW

When the dance crew is not performing on center stage, it often runs various dance workshops around the island and volunteer to teach young children the new moves they create. These workshops also provide more opportunities for children to learn about different styles of existing dances while also giving them a space where they can create their own moves. In addition to their club being a freestyle space for dance and creativity as well as one of service to their communities, the club has also helped strengthen the friendships between members. “I joined the October of my freshmen year back in 2012, and so far my time with the Tekniqlingz Crew has been an amazing experience,” Tekniqlingz member Joen Nalundasan said. “Being surrounded by a

with the Tekniqlingz as a testimony to my family, my culture, the past, the present and the future; it’s bigger than myself, and that in itself is what brings me the most gratification.” Like Nalundasan and Soriano, each of the other members have their own reasons for joining the dance crew. Ariel Del Rosario and Charles Jarquio, in particular, joined the dance crew because they both wanted to learn more about their cultural roots. Rosario first joined the club four years ago. “I was always interested in the Filipino culture, so that perked my interest even more,” Rosario said. “Growing up, I didn’t know much about my Filipino heritage. What I knew before joining the crew was mostly from online, family and

word of mouth. I got to know more about my culture from the various events that we partake in.” “I thought it would be a unique experience since it was an integration of my culture into a world of hip-hop,” Jarquio said. “Dancing with them has provided me with a learning experience in both dancing and my own cultural background.” Although some of the members of the dance crew have had some kind of professional dance experience, the club is open to anybody – both UH and non-UH students who have a passion for dancing. “In order to join, you don’t need to have any dance experience,” Torno said. “All you need to bring is an open heart and a willingness to learn.” Prospective members are not required to pay any fees upon joining. However, members must sign a waiver to ensure and be aware of the possibilities for injury throughout their participation in the dances. “Some of our past members have gotten injured,” Torno said. “However, we try our best to make all our dances and the environment as safe as possible.” Overall, each of the members find that joining the club opens the door to new opportunities to learn and grow as individuals, and they want their club to help pave the way for other students to gain new opportunities as well. Ever since the start of the dance crew, Torno has been both amazed and impressed by the supportive community that he has helped shape. “My experience has been won-

derful and I am happy that I have been able to create such an organization in and out of the UH Mānoa community,” Torno said. MORE INFO

Career Fair Preparation Checklist

Worthy internships: how to avoid being the coffee deliverer

DAVID HERMAN SPECIAL ISSUES EDITOR A good job is hard to come by. A good career, doubly so. It is common for a job hunter to face a dozen rejections without ever speaking to a prospective employer. The 2014 Career Fair presents an opportunity for students to connect with over 75 organizations. Within this Career Guide Special Issue, you’ll find a list of vendors, a map, program scheduling and several guides. Career Center Director Wendy Sora suggests preparing these four things to get the most out of your experience:

4

BRAD DELL FEATURES EDITOR Students looking to enter their career straight out of college will find that their degree alone might not cut it. The National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) released a poll in 2013 that said 63.1 percent of paid interns received a job upon graduation, compared to 37 percent of unpaid interns and 35.2 percent of graduates with no internships.

CHECKS

While paid internships provide the best chances of getting a job upon graduation, students often find that unpaid internships are their only option. There is danger in unpaid internships, though, due to employers not valuing free labor and sending interns to do mundane, unchallenging tasks like answering phone calls or fetching coffee. How do you make the most of your internship and avoid becoming the coffee deliverer in an office?

TO PREP FOR THE BEST

Prepare a copy of your updated resume. (Refer to the resume guide on pg. 18). Think about what questions you’ll want to ask potential employers about your intended career. Sample questions include: What kinds of qualifications and skills are your company looking for? Are there training programs I could benefit from in your organization? What are the biggest challenges I might face in this career? What’s a typical career path for these openings? Can you tell me about the work environment? What are the best reasons for working for your organization? Dress as if you’re going to a job interview. (Refer to the fashion guide on pg. 23). Eye contact, a firm handshake and a practiced introduction will set you well on your way.

HOW TO FIND THEM Internships, while not necessarily easy to obtain, are easy to find. The Career Fair on Tuesday, Oct. 21 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Campus Center Ballroom will be a great opportunity to meet with employers and network. Students can also visit the Mānoa Career Center to meet with a counselor or attend workshops on how to interview, build a resume and more. The Mānoa Career Center also has an online job listing called Student Employment and Cooperative Education (sece.its.hawaii.edu). “We have an online job system,” Sora said. “All the internships, co-ops and jobs in the system are all paid.” The Mānoa Career Center also checks the employers for legitimacy, Sora said.

RESEARCH BEFOREHAND The legitimacy of employers is checked due to the various scams that

make their way into the internship sphere. If an internship requires that you pay them first before starting, it could be a pyramid scheme or scam. Additionally, if an internship offers more money than an ordinary job would, it might not be legitimate. “If it looks too good to be true, you do need to Google them,” Sora said.

ASK QUESTIONS When at career fairs or when meeting with potential employers, don’t let them just interview you. Interview them as well. Ask for examples of what you might be doing as an intern, as well as what kind of commitments are expected of an intern at the company. If the employer seems hesitant to answer or is uncertain of specifics, then red flags should be raised. Know what you’re stepping into before accepting an internship.

KNOW YOUR EXPECTATIONS

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS

When you’ve finally found an internship, know what your expectations are before starting. Also know what the employer’s expectations are. Be mindful of what the expectations are of the employer,” Sora said. “You want to know that you’re coming in with the same expectations so it’s a good fit.” Don’t wait for the employer to tell you what their expectations are, but instead put what you want to gain from the experience up front. The employer may say no to your ideas, but at least those conversations will be on the table so you have no doubts about what is and isn’t possible.You shouldn’t only worry about your employer being disappointed in you, but should instead be worried about leaving the internship disappointed. Always be on the lookout for opportunities to grow, even if your internship isn’t connected to those opportunities.

Paid internships are the safer bet when choosing your learning experience, because they are more official and require mutual agreement “They should have more meat on the table because they know exactly what they’re paying for,” Sora said. “When it’s a paid internship, it’s an agreement.” Stories have spread across the nation of illegal internships or unpaid interns being taken advantage of by their employers. It is important that whether the internship is paid or not, interns know the guidelines set by the Department of Labor. “The Department of Labor has some guidelines, or criteria for employers,” Sora said. “But they don’t go out and enforce them.” Check dol.gov/whd/regs/ compliance/whdfs71.htm to learn your rights as an intern.

INTERVIEW STYLE GUIDE ELLISE KAKAZU STAFF WRITER

The lengthy process of writing resumes have paid off and you are suddenly called in for an interview. You hang up the phone and the anxiety of being drilled with questions sinks in. Although it is completely normal to feel nervous before an interview, it can be minimized by being prepared and feeling confident.

Dressing appropriately is a great way to boost your self-esteem and make you feel ready to conquer an interview. Although your appearance is an important factor that will be considered and remembered, personality is essential. Be sure to be yourself, speak clearly and do not forget to smile. If you remember these tips, then you will be on your way to landing the job of your dreams.

LYLE AMINE / KA LEO O HAWAII

Women’s guide

Men’s guide

The Grooming Think simple. An employer will want to see you, not layers of makeup during an interview, so make sure you keep natural. Try not to apply makeup that will be distracting; go for natural hues and a swipe of eyeliner.

The Grooming Think clean. Facial hair can come across as unprofessional and it may cause the employer to draw negative conclusions about your personality or work ethic. It is best to get a clean shave.

Tame that mane. Hairstyles that keep hair away from your face are the best options for an interview, because they will appear professional. If you want to wear your hair down, pin back a few strands to make your face stand out and not your hair. Get manicured. An interview is a great excuse to head down to the nail salon and get a little pampered. Try to keep your nails at an appropriate length and also stick to classic colors if you plan to add a coat of paint. The Ensemble Be covered and classy. It is all about balance when putting together an outfit. If you are going to wear a pencil skirt that shows a little leg, then it is best to wear a top that is on the conservative side. On the other hand, if you wear a top that shows some arm and a little skin, then you should pair it with dress pants. Go for heels. When choosing the perfect pair of heels, stay away from the one that you wear on a night out with your girlfriends. Go for heels that are classic and sophisticated. Also, make sure that you are comfortable wearing them; you do not want to be struggling or in pain during the interview. Less is more. When it comes to accessories, it is best to wear one or two items at a time. A pair of stud earrings can be the perfect way to accentuate your face while still looking professional. Other options are either a bracelet or a watch because it will complement any type of outfit without looking too busy.

Nail it. Be sure to cut your nails and make sure they are clean and even. There is a good chance that you will shake a hand or two, so it is a good idea that your nails are presentable and look well kept. Smell good. A scent can leave a positive or negative impression on someone. Make sure that you apply some deodorant and cologne to ensure that the employer will smell nothing but success. Pick a scent that is not too strong; it is best to go subtle. The Ensemble Go for a collared shirt. Look for one that is either black, white or grey, as these tones give off a professional vibe and also complements everyone. It is usually better to be overdressed than underdressed. Cover your legs. Pants are a must when going to an interview because they will make you look professional. In Hawai‘i, wearing long pants are a little bit of a hassle, but they will make a huge difference in your appearance. Put time on your hands. Adding some personality to an outfit is a little harder for men, but a watch is a great option. Sporting a watch tells your potential employer that you are conscious of your time, which is a plus. Pass on the slippers. A nice pair of shoes will be the perfect way to finish off the look. If you want to show a more stylish side, you can slip on some fashionable socks to give your look a more eclectic feel. Just make sure they is not distracting.

EDGY WAYS TO DRESS UP YOUR RESUME AVOID THE PRE-INTERVIEW JITTERS TRICIA KHUN STAFF WRITER You anxiously make your way through the hallway to go to your first interview. Your hands tremble and a dark puddle of sweat begins to form on your shirt. As you get closer to the interview room, you glance down at the resume in your hands to reread what you’ve written down as your only extracurricular activity and shake your head, wishing you had done more. Today’s world is more complex than ever and with the reliance on technology, the job market is becoming more competitive. Many students straight out of a four-year college are facing unemployment, not being able to get the dream jobs and careers they studied hard to get. Although getting a job is a nerve-racking experience, it can also be a positive one if you prepare yourself for it in advance. That means that you not only have to know how to dress for success, but you also need to make sure that you meet the qualifications that your employers are looking for while also demonstrating your own personal style. In order to prepare you for future success, here are some creative ways that can help you dress up your resume:

VOLUNTEER

HAVE A HOBBY Employers will often ask you at some point during the interview if you do anything other than attend classes, so including your interests and hobbies on your resume is excellent. It will also show employers that you are not only about the books, but that you are also a well-rounded person outside of school.

BLOGGING/VLOGGING Why not utilize the technology around you and create your very own writing blog and/or a “vlog” (video blog)? Technology is more accessible than ever today, so why not turn your passions into a reality? This will allow you to network with other people who share the same passions and help you to teach others about the issues you care about. If you are a movie fanatic, you can create a blog or create a YouTube channel about new movie releases and/or movie reviews. Here’s how to get started:

HOW TO BECOME A BLOGGER/VLOGGER: 1. Decide on what you will be blogging/vlogging about

Volunteer work is a great way to 2. Choose a platform – self-hosted showcase your skills to your employor free (some great sites for blogers.

It will also you, so don’t be afraid to incorporate allow you to build new friendships your skills and turn your passion with people from around the world. into a reality.

Another option is to learn a new language. Many universities, including UH Mānoa, offer an array of language courses – Hindi, Malay, Khmer, etc., so don’t limit yourself to a language you are already familiar with. Sit in a few classes before registering to see if that specific course interests you. For more information about additional language programs and courses offered on campus, check out the Department of Linguistics and Languages website: lll.hawaii.edu/.

ATHLETIC PARTICIPATION Show some university spirit and join a sports team on campus. UH Mānoa offers a wide selection of sports including, but not limited to basketball, football, golf, cross-country, sailing, cheerleading, swimming and diving. If you don’t want to play a sport professionally, an alternative option is to participate in a recreational, intramural sport. During this fall 2014 semester, the campus offers indoor soccer, flag football, basketball and coed volleyball. Visit the website of Student Recreation Services for more information on intramural sports programs: manoa. hawaii.edu/studentrec/ as well as the main homepage for student athletics and recreation: manoa.hawaii. edu/campus_life/sportsrec.html/.

CREATE OR JOIN A CLUB Joining a club on campus is a convenient and fun way to spend your free time when you’re not studying. It also allows you to network with other students who have similar interests. UH Mānoa offers a wide range of clubs that include major-related clubs, service clubs, religious-affiliated and Bible study groups as well as sports-related clubs and leadership clubs. For more information, visit either the Student Life and Development homepage at manoa.hawaii.edu/studentlife/studentorg/. On this website, there is a specific list of all the student organizations offered on campus – both chartered and registered independent organizations (RIOs). If you do not find any of the on-campus clubs interesting, you can always create your own club. If you are interested in doing so, visit manoa.hawaii.edu/studentlife/studentorg/rio/forming.php which includes a complete list of registration steps to form your own RIO club. You will be required to submit a RIO application and a constitution that lists the responsibilities and purpose of the club. You will also be required to attend a RIO orientation. Keep in mind that at least six members are needed to create a club. Each member must be a current UH Mānoa student.

STUDY ABROAD AND SUMMER

INTERNSHIPS Are you interested in learning a new language, continuing your language studies or just want to get away from the islands for a while? Then, studying abroad is perfect for you. The UH Mānoa study abroad program allows you to do some traveling in another country while also gaining university credits depending on which course(s) you choose. This will allow you to stay on track of your proposed graduation time while also providing you with a full immersion of the language and culture of your chosen country. The program offers semester, year and summer programs and an array of courses and countries to choose from. If you really want to go, but don’t have the finances to make your dream come true, the program offers a variety of scholarships and funding sources that can help you to finance your travel plan. For more information, visit the UH Mānoa Study Abroad Center website: studyabroad.org/. Another excellent option besides studying abroad is to participate in a summer internship in your field of interest. Recently, UH Mānoa has partnered with Princeton University and is now offering internships through the Princeton in Asia (PiA) program. PiA is an independent, non-profit organization that was founded by students in 1898 with the mission to serve students from

Today’s world is more complex than ever and with the reliance on technology, the job market is becoming more competitive.

around the world, providing them with an extensive exposure to a variety of workplaces and cultures. If you are interested in applying to PiA for the 2015-2016 academic year, visit this website for more information: piaweb.princeton.edu/for-applicants.

GET INVOLVED IN STUDENT POLITICS In addition to offering a range of registered independent organizations on campus, UH Mānoa also allows students to participate and be involved in student government. The main student government on campus is the Associated Students of the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa (ASUH). ASUH is comprised of different senators who are representatives of each of the university’s colleges found on campus. Each year, students run elections to vote for the next senators to form the university senate. Special elections also take place at the beginning of each semester if any positions are available. In order to run for the senate, you must have a GPA of at least 2.0 and you must also be a full-time (12+ credits), undergraduate student at the university. For more information, please visit: asuh.hawaii.edu/.

LEARN A COMPUTER SKILL (EX. PHOTOSHOP, VIDEO EDITING, SPREADSHEET, EXCEL) Although most courses at UH Mānoa require students to learn and use computer programs such as Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel, few students have time to actually learn the ins and outs of these computer software programs. So, why should you take some time to learn a new computer skill or take some time to continue learning more about a certain computer skill? This will not only help you in your professional career, but it will also help you stay up-to-date with the current technologies used throughout the world. If you feel confident in your knowledge and ability of using Photoshop, video editing or any other computer software, try to learn a new computer skill by either teaching yourself or taking a few classes on or off campus. The Pacific New Media Center at UH Mānoa also offers a number of different literacy workshops that focus on teaching both the public and university students literacy skills in writing, creative writing, communication, film and design. Visit their website for more information on free public talks and workshops: outreach.hawaii.edu/pnm/ Programs/HL2-PUBTALK.asp

KTUH DJ remembered Abel Pellegrino known for optimism and love of music

FADI YOUKHANA / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

The memorial for Pellegrino is located at the bottom of the stairs connecting lower campus to Johnson Hall B. ANGUSINA CAMPBELL CONTRIBUTING WRITER

If you had known Abel Pellegrino for even a short while, you would know he loved music. Colleen Conway attended Music 280 with Pellegrino, taught by Professor I-Bei Lin. “He was excited to be taking the music class, you know, to like learn more about it,” Conway said. “He was really passionate about music, he talked about producing music, and things like that.” The sophomore at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa passed away on Sept. 9 after he fell from the top of the stairs connecting lower campus to Johnson Hall B. He was 18. Pellegrino was known for being friendly and cheerful.

“He was just a friendly person to have, you know, especially during the first week of school, when you don’t know anybody,” Conway said.

other people and his optimism. “He was always so cheerful, always saying ‘hi’ to everyone, and always so nice and welcoming,”

“He was bound to be a really good DJ, a professional DJ.” – ROBERT CARLILE FREEFORM AND TRAINING DIRECTOR AT KTUH

“A small class like that, it’s kind of awkward, [but] he’d just come up and say ‘hi.’” Pellegrino graduated from Saipan International School in 2013 and attended UH Mānoa that fall. Pellegrino’s personality stood out to those who knew him. Students mentioned his friendliness toward

Los Angeles Community College film major Shane Jones said in an online interview. Jones attended Saipan International School with Pellegrino. Pellegrino was also popular around his friends, according to Robert Carlile, Freeform and Training Director at KTUH.

“The main thing I learned from Abel was to have an open personality,” Carlile said. Pellegrino lost his father to a stroke in June 2013, according to the Marianas Variety, a daily newspaper. That wasn’t the only tragedy in his life, as he had previously lost his mother. “Even after he lost both his parents, he was one of the happiest people I knew,” Jones said. “I always felt like he lived life to the fullest and chose to see the brighter things. I really admired him for that.” Pellegrino was known for his musical talents. He played the guitar and sang, and he had a YouTube channel with 60 subscribers and more than 5,000 views, where he did song covers such as Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky” and Rock Mafia’s “Big Bang.” He also had a blog. Continuing his work with music, Pellegrino was a disc jockey at KTUH radio, joining in spring 2014. “Out of the majority of the trainees that I’ve met, Abel really stuck out,” Carlile said. “He had a natural talent for talking, for expressing himself,” he said. “He was bound to be a really good DJ, a professional DJ.” “I think he was happy because he always put himself out there, always talked to people, wasn’t afraid to talk about his feelings,” Jones said. “Even if he was sad, he wouldn’t really show it, or he would joke about it. He never took anything to heart and was outgoing and nice no matter what.”

Cake Works is a tiny shop on South King Street that sells a range of baked goods, from croissants to cupcakes. Its most popular items, though, are the assorted French macaroons. These go for $2 each, an affordable cost for macaroons. Don’t forget to check in on Yelp! to get a free macaroon as well. The flavors in our box were Hawaiian Salt Caramel, Vanilla, Very Berry, Lychee, Orange Creamsicle and Strawberry-Guava. The best of the bunch was the Hawaiian Salt Caramel, with crunchy outer shells giving way to a creamy, buttery center. Strawberry-Guava was also good and tasted like real fruit, but the Very Berry macaroon was a little too berry and had an artificial sweetness. The Lychee macaroon was also a disappointment as it was too sweet and didn’t taste much like lychee. Besides the macaroons, we sampled the red velvet and peanut butter chocolate mini cupcakes. The cupcakes were underwhelming and too small for $1.65 each. Stick with the macaroons. The lady behind the counter was friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately, parking is difficult here. If you’re a UH student living in the dorms, I’d recommend a walk to the shop, not a drive.

Yoga class loosens muscles on a tight budget Donation-only lessons bring vinyāsa yoga to Mānoa DANA BREWER STAFF WRITER

With students’ hectic schedules, it’s difficult to find time to relax and stretch away the stress. Yoga classes can be expensive and far away. But what if there was an opportunity right on campus for only a dollar donation? Vinyasa flow yoga classes are now being offered to University of Hawai‘i

The class is carefully paced to give the individual time to move at their own rate. The class follows a schedule of relaxing, stretching, working the core and then relaxing again, allowing the work to sink into the body and mind. At the end, a dollar donation is left in a jar. Hussey welcomes all levels of students to her class and is understanding to those who may not have experience, taking time to

students outside of Kennedy Theatre, on Tuesday evenings from 5-6 p.m. For those with no yoga experience – yoga helps to strengthen your body, relax your mind and synchronize your breath. Vinyasa is a type of yoga concentrated on the synchronization of breath and movement – perfect for lightly working the core, learning to control breathing and releasing the anxieties of the busy, stressful college life. “We have a little community going on already,” class instructor Emma Hussey said. “We have a lot of regulars. I think that if anyone is remotely interested in stretching, some sort of strength, just unwinding or finding their breath, yoga is for you. ... Try a yoga class, it can do wonders for you.”

give individuals the attention they deserve. Hussey has been teaching yoga for five years and is certified through YogaFit. She also offers classes at Yoga Hawai‘i. “Yoga should be accessible for everybody,” Hussey said. “As a student, you’re busy and you’re often tight on cash, but yoga is a very important part of life. I think that by just having a donation of one dollar – every student can scrap together a dollar – and by offering a really nice outdoor class, it’s a great way for students to unwind and hopefully be more successful in their studies.” Emma Hussey can be contacted about her classes via email at emma.s.hussey@gmail.com/.

NO PARTY FOULS ALLOWED: IMPROMPTU PARTY ESSENTIALS

Hana Ah You Staff Writer

Miscellaneous items:

Don’t get caught having an impromptu party without these essentials.

Ping pong balls, table, playing cards: The drinking game possibilities are endless when the above three items are on hand.

You’ve invited a few people over, and a few more, and then some more. Suddenly, you come to the realization that you’re having a party. Project X. The party all other parties aspire to be. For years to come, freshmen will pass down ridiculous rumors about said party to each other. “I heard there was a giant pumpkin keg and the Hawai‘i 5-0 cast showed up and started mud wrestling in a bounce house...” Party planning is a highly paid profession for a reason, and while some of the best parties are spontaneous, being prepared can smooth the experience for hosts and guests. Here are a few necessities to have on hand for any last-minute party:

Fire extinguisher: You never know. Ice. Lots and lots of ice When the fridge is full, ice will save the day. Just dump a couple bags of ice into a (plugged) bathtub, add beer and bottles and it becomes an instant cooler.

Beer Always a must have. Too classy for beer? Then wine. Either way, buy in bulk. A keg says, “We mean business.” Do they sell wine in kegs? That’d be cool.

Limes and salt Chances are a bottle of tequila will make an appearance, and tequila is best taken as a shot with lime and salt.

Bottle openers: All is well until no one can find a bottle opener. Make sure to have both a corkscrew and a bottle opener, so people don’t start cutting their hands open trying to open a beer with a lighter. Paper towels: The occasional party foul is unavoidable, but no spillage is too daunting for a few paper towels. Alternatively, take the eco-friendly route and have a couple cloth hand towels nearby.

Chasers Chasers help the poison go down. Coca-Cola is a classic that pairs well with rum and whiskey, and Sprite goes well with vodka and other lighter alcohols. Cheap liquor can be improved by adding the right chasers, so stock up.

Cups No matter what games end up being played, cups (of the red plastic variety) are a must-have. No one wants to spend the whole night washing and rewashing the same ten cups for people to use, so splurge on a jumbo-sized bag and never be cupless again.

Water This is the silent lifesaver of a party. Water will stand by until the night winds down and people realize how much the alcohol they’ve consumed has dehydrated their body. Only then will water have its chance to shine and help those who forgot of its existence for an entire night.

Good speakers: No music, no party. Music is what makes a party inviting. What’s worse than no music? Inaudible music. Don’t be a tease; invest in speakers that will have your neighbors dancing all night long or calling the cops on you with noise complaints.

Taylor’s two roads to recovery Nikki Taylor has returned to the Wahine swinging with a new look after injury ANDREW SWITAJ STAFF WRITER

Whether an athlete undergoes a simple sprain or a more serious injury, there are always two sides of the road – a physical and an emotional – when returning back to the sport that they love. Nikki Taylor is one athlete who had to deal with the issues that come while recovering. Her nagging arm injury had left her out indefinitely when the season got underway, including the consecutive weekends of tournament play before conference season. However, not being able to play did not keep Taylor away from the team as she continued to encourage her teammates from the sidelines. Her recovery had a physical journey that was filled with treatments and physical therapy, but under-

standing where she was in her recovery and how far she had bounced back was the most challenging. “I feel the hardest thing about injuries is that of course they’re physical but a lot of it is mental,” Taylor said. In an effort to return back to the court as soon as possible, Taylor remained true to herself and her injury, understanding the problems of exceeding her limitations. Her continued belief and persistence of keeping a positive attitude despite being sidelined showed, as she endured extra sets of repetitions in regards to bumping and passing before practice. “The reps have really helped me get back in the game,” Taylor said, adding that she is grateful there is enough trust from her coaching staff to put her back in the game after recuperating from her injury. Head coach Dave Shoji understands the difficulties and risks

involved with incorporating one of his recently-recovered players back into the mix, especially against high-powered teams such as UCLA, which Hawai‘i faced earlier this season. However, now that she has recovered and is back in the lineup, Shoji believes that Taylor’s return “is going to spread out the offense more.” In Taylor’s first return back to the starting lineup for the Wahine, she was still apprehensive about the injury and unsure of where she stood in terms of her recovery. Although she was physically able to play, she struggled with the mentality of returning to the court. When an athlete first returns back to his or her sport after an injury, one of the thoughts that may be going through their head is the worries about reinjuring oneself in a similar manner. Beyond the scare of reinjury, there are many other elements that athletes deal with when sustaining injuries, including their psyche, self-esteem and a sense of identity. Whatever potential scare there may be, Taylor shows no sign of them on the court especially when sporting her new brace on her arm. The brace “feels good” according to Taylor, who previously had been playing with her arm taped and wrapped. “The physical aspect is definitely 100 percent recovered now,” Taylor

SHANE GRACE / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

Taylor started 26 games and was named to the all-Big West first team as a freshman

said. According to her, with the brace, the mental aspect is different as well. There are benefits as well as difficulties to playing with a brace. Many of the difficulties come because of the inexperience playing with it on. For Taylor the brace is “more restricting which is a good thing, but it is heavy and metal.” The bulkiness of the brace has sometimes even caught Taylor off guard, such as in practice when it has come back and hit her while blocking. However, it has helped Taylor recover mentally from her injury. “Now because of the brace the mental aspect is up to par with the physical aspect,” Taylor said. “Lots of times I do a lot of those ‘let’s go’

moments with a block or something with that nature where I worked hard on that play so it feels good. A lot of those ‘let’s go’ moments is to get everyone else pumped up because I’m already riled up” Now that Taylor has resumed her role on the volleyball court, the team has regained a bit of their moxie from last season. Although Taylor remains adamant that a single person does not give a team an identity, the team has meshed since her return. After falling out of the Top 25 earlier this season, Taylor’s return has helped the Wahine climb back into the national rankings at the end of September. Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

REC CENTER SPOTLIGHT

Carrying the load Jaymes Lozanida is a different type of student-athlete. DENNIS PALMA CASTILLO STAFF WRITER

In one swift and explosive movement, Jaymes Lozanida is able to snatch more than 86 kg (190 lbs.) over his head. The “snatch” is a weightlifting technique in which an athlete has to lift a barbell from the ground to overhead, with arms locked out, in a single continuous movement. The snatch is one of two weightlifting events that comprise the sport of Olympic weightlifting. It’s common to see Lozanida, a senior microbiology major and Olympic weightlifter in the 77 kg weight class, practicing this daily at the Warrior Recreation Center (WRC). “The good thing about Olympic weightlifting is that you get to tinker with your technique and you also get to measure your own progress,” Lozanida said. “I always try to challenge myself, even though I was feeling tired from classes, I’d still try to hit the same weight.” The second event is a lift called the “clean and jerk.” This is a composite lift that requires an athlete to “clean” the bar from the ground onto

their front rack, across their deltoids and clavicles. After the clean, the athletes must “jerk” the bar overhead by using explosiveness and speed to simultaneously lock their arms out and drop under the bar. With an athletics program here at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa that competes in the top division (Division I) of the National Collegiate Athletics Association, some may associate the term student-athlete” with only the students that play in major sports programs. Though you won’t find Lozanida walking around campus with a green Gatorade bottle on the side of his backpack, there is no doubt that he is a dedicated student-athlete, one who is passionate about his sport and his academics. He can be found working on his Olympic weightlifting technique at the WRC four or five times a week. He understands the rigors of the academic grind as well. During his sophomore year at UH, Lozanida took organic chemistry during a semester when he was taking five other classes. “Last year I took 19 credits per semester, so I maxed out on credits,” Lozanida said. “I would still try

to have a ritual where I’d go to the gym after classes. Monday through Friday, I’d still go to the gym.” The senior knows that a strong work ethic helps builds habits that become part of a person’s identity. “It’s about the driving force that you can do better, that you know in yourself that you’re capable of doing it, that’s what drives me to do Olympic weightlifting,” Lozanida said. “We try to get by day-by-day, by going to school, driving through traffic, but if we can focus on bettering ourselves every single day, then that makes life worthwhile.” Lozanida has competed in five sanctioned USA Weightlifting (USAW)

events since 2013 and he hopes to break his goal of lifting a combined total of 200 kg (440 lbs.) in the “snatch” and the “clean and jerk”. He will be competing at this year’s Hawai‘i Open, another USAW sanctioned event being held at the Ward Warehouse on Saturday, Oct. 18. “The best advice I have for people who are beginning [to Olympic weightlift] is to get your friends into it,” Lozanida said. “Because you can’t watch all the videos on YouTube, you can’t read all the books, you can’t look at all the forums, but if you guys collectively help each other out, there’s more growth that way.” Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

Hawai‘ i sophomore Cindy Nguyen has been playing tennis for about 13 years, all coached by her father, Tai. JEREMY NITTA SENIOR STAFF WRITER

Cindy Nguyen has only known one person as her tennis coach: her father, Tai. “He’s been my coach since I was a little kid,” Cindy said. “He knows me probably better than I know myself.” The sophomore star for the Rainbow Wahine tennis team grew up watching her older sister play, before picking up a racket herself at the age of six. Since then, she has become one of the integral parts of Hawai‘i’s high aspirations for the coming season. MEETING THE FAMILY

Tai Nguyen also coached Cindy’s older sister Mimi, who went on to earn four varsity letters at Michigan. According to Tai, Cindy grasped the game quickly once she started playing. “Sometimes she would just be around when her older sister was playing,” Tai said. “So I would take her with me down to the court. Sometimes, I’d give her a racket and let her hit some balls. Then, when she started playing she did well, maybe because she had watched her sister so much.” Tai, who is a native of Vietnam,

said that he actually is not a lifelong tennis coach, or even a longtime tennis player. “I was a runner, back in my home country of Vietnam,” Tai said. “I was a coach in track and field there before I came to America. But when I came to America, I had the opportunity to play tennis, which had never happened in my country. So I thought it would be a good opportunity for my kids, and so I started learning [tennis] myself.” And according to his daughter, it was an extremely worthwhile decision. “I love having my dad as my coach,” Cindy said. “He knows when I’m feeling tired, and what I’m dealing with in school and in my personal life, and knows how to incorporate that into our practices. Sometimes, we will butt heads. But I know that he only wants to make me better.” IN HAWAI‘I, WITH LOVE

According to Cindy, when she graduated from Millikan High School in Long Beach, California, coaches came calling, each trying to convince her to come to their college. But ultimately, Cindy chose Hawai‘i. While she jokingly referred to Hawai‘i as being “the perfect place to be,” another key reason

drew her to the Aloha State. “Coach Jun [Hernandez], when I came here on my recruiting trip, struck me as the kind of coach who would push you to be your best,” Cindy said. “But he really just reminded me a lot of my father. He truly wants you to do well and achieve your best. The atmosphere here was just so warm and genuine and friendly.” Hernandez, who has the second most wins as a coach in University of Hawai’i women’s tennis history, often engages with his players more in the way a father would, rather than simply as a coach. “That’s the culture that we try to have as a team,” Hernandez said. “I’m not here just to teach them forehands and backhands. They aren’t just student-athletes to me. We really are trying to make it feel more like a family. We work to trust and support one another and want the best for one another.” Hernandez also expressed satisfaction in knowing that his player views him as more than just a coach. “It’s really a great compliment, because you can tell that Cindy really trusted her father as her coach to make her better,” Hernandez said. “That she trusts my coach-

ing as well and to have her trust is really an important thing.”

FACTOID

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE

Last season, Cindy had one of the finest seasons ever for a Rainbow Wahine, when she became the first Hawai‘ i player to qualify for the NCAA Tournament, and did so as a freshman. Cindy, who enters the season as Hawai‘ i’s only nationally ranked player, is determined to improve this year. “Having a ranking is nice, but I don’t think it really shows things,” Cindy said. “Like, I think that for me personally, it’s nice, but I still want to be better. I still want to improve. I can’t be satisfied with where I am.” And the fatherly figures in her life certainly believe she can do it. “Oh I’m definitely proud of her,” Tai said. “But as a coach, I think I still expect more things out of her, because she went out in the first round of the NCAAs. But as a father, I’m proud of her for sure.” Hernandez agreed, noting they’ll be able to focus on what will make Cindy better this year. “She’s training as hard, but now we can work on the particular areas we struggled last year,” Hernandez said. “But the sky’s the limit.”

SOFTBALL

WOMEN’S GOLF

The Rainbow Wahine soccer team (6-7, 1-2) continued conference play on the road against UC Santa Barbara on the first of a two-game road trip. After falling behind 1-0 in the first half, Kama Pascua evened the score in the 63rd minute for her fifth goal of the season. Just when things looked like a stalemate, UCSB was able to snag the winning goal on a header off a free kick near midfield with less than a minute left in the match.

In its first tournament of the season, the women’s tennis team faced HPU in multiple matches at the UH Anuenue Invitational. The team won all but two of its singles matches, and in the doubles matches, the team won two out of three matchups against HPU. Paulina Petriskova and Sarah Gealer won 8-2 over their foes in the first doubles match, while Cindy Nguyen and Martina Kostalova won their matchup 8-5.

The Wahine softball team announced its schedule for the spring semester, in addition to the previously announced fall tournament that begins on Nov. 11. The Wahine open the season against St. Mary’s on Feb. 5 in the Oceanic Time Warner Cable Paradise Classic. The Wahine, who finished last season with a 22-28 record, also face Oklahoma, Washington and Virginia Tech in non-conference play.

Rain got in the way of the Edean Ihlanfeldt Invitational last week, but the women’s golf team was able to end the shortened tournament in 11th place. For the first time in her career, sophomore standout Izzy Leung did not lead the Wahine in scoring at the tournament. Nichole Cruz and Kelli-Anne Katsuda tied for 31st for the tournament, while Leung finished tied for 40th place.

BASEBALL The Rainbow Warrior baseball team announced its schedule for the 2015 season that begins on Feb. 15 against Oregon. NCAA Tournament regulars Oklahoma, Pepperdine and Arizona join the Ducks to headline the team’s non-conference schedule. In the Big West Conference, the Warriors are set to play the likes of UC Irvine and Cal State Fullerton, which both made postseason appearances last year. Hawai‘ i finished last year with a record of 22-31.

WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL In the first of two matches on the road last week, the Rainbow Wahine volleyball team faced Cal State Northridge on Oct. 10. The No. 21 Wahine fell in straight sets to CSUN to mark the first time UH was swept by a conference opponent since 2010. In the next match against Long Beach State, the Wahine were led by double-doubles from Kalei Greeley and Tai Manu-Olevao, but were unable to upend LBSU in five sets. Hawai‘ i (12-5, 4-2) were undefeated in conference play before last week’s losses.

IKAIKA WOOLSEY ON LOSING HIS STARTING SPOT

Hawai‘i responds from injuries and halftime deficit for first conference win since 2012 DAVID MCCRACKEN SENIOR STAFF WRITER

For the first time as members of the Mountain West Conference, the University of Hawai‘ i football team finds itself atop the standings. Hawai‘ i rallied from a 21-pointdeficit to defeat Wyoming 38-28, earning their first conference win of the season. Saturday’s contest against the Cowboys (3-3, 1-1) gave the Warriors (2-4, 1-0) their first conference win since 2012, snapping an eight-game conference losing streak. The victory over the Cowboys also signaled the team’s first victory against an FBS team since Nov. 30, 2013 when the Warriors defeated Army in the final game of the 2013 season. THE PANIOLO TROPHY STAYS HERE

Wyoming held a 28-17 lead with 2:02 left in the third quarter, but allowed Hawai‘i to score 21 consecutive points to end the game. With the loss, the Cowboys gave up possession of the the traveling trophy that goes to the winner of the game between the two teams every year in a lesser-known tradition. The Cowboys had won the last six meetings against the Warriors and have held the Paniolo Trophy since 1993. Last year, the Warriors lost a heartbreaker to the Cowboys at Wyoming in overtime by a score of 59-56. This time around, Hawai‘i was able to fend off Wyoming by a 10-point margin. This marked the largest margin of victory that Hawai‘i has had under the reign of head coach Norm Chow since 2012, when the Warriors

defeated South Alabama on Dec. 1, 2012 by a score of 23-7. AIR-RAID

The combination of Taylor Graham and Ikaika Woolsey at quarterback gave the Warriors their second-highest passing total of the season with 281 yards through the air. This marked just the second time this season that the Warriors offense was able to gain over 250 yards passing in a single game. The first was against the University of Colorado on September 20th when UH threw for 287 yards passing. Graham started his first game of the season Saturday, passing for 108 yards and a touchdown on 9 for 17 passing in the first half. Graham was injured on the last play of the half on a botched desperation pass play that resulted in Woolsey filling in for the final half of play. Woolsey ended with 173 yards and two touchdowns on 8 for 9 passing to make for his most impressive outing so far this season. GROUND AND POUND

Despite running back Steven Lakalaka leaving the game in the second half with a head injury, the rushing attack from the Warriors was the most successful that it had been all season. Lakalaka rushed for 76 yards before he was injured, which allowed sophomore running back Diocemy Saint Juste to rush for a career high of 135 yards on 17 attempts, including his first rushing touchdown of his career. As a team, Hawai‘ i finished with 232 yards on the ground; the

highest rushing yardage total of the season. Wyoming running back Shaun Wick averaged two yards less per carry against the Warriors than he has against every other opponent this season. However, Wick’s average per carry was still 5.0 yards against UH, which resulted in a 121-yard game on 24 carries, including a rushing touchdown to give Wick 610 yards rushing through six games this season to continue his campaign. SECOND HALF DOMINANCE

Hawai‘i’s defense has struggled in the first halves of games this season, as they have been outscored in the opening quarters of games 10757. In the second half, however, UH has outscored its opponents 80-49 in the final two quarters of play. Saturday’s matchup against Wyoming was no different. Hawai‘ i conceded 21 first-half points to the Cowboys, but seven of those points came off of a Wyoming defensive touchdown sparked by a UH fumble. In addition to scoring 21 points, Wyoming accumulated 224 yards of total offense in the first half. In the second half of play, the Warriors defense was able to hold the Cowboys to seven points on 98 yards of total offense. On eight defensive possessions in the second half, the Warriors forced four punts, two interceptions, a missed field goal and conceding just one touchdown.

Finding the silver lining How Spencer Hagan responded to career-ending injury

LYLE AMINE / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

Hagan was awarded the “Tiny Bates Award” for exemplifying outstanding performance and citizenship both on the field and in the classroom this past April. DAVID MCCRACKEN SENIOR STAFF WRITER

Football is a game of progression and sacrifice. Win or lose, consequences will arise. With every consequence, comes a lesson. With every lesson, comes growth and opportunity. On Sept. 15, 2012, Spencer Hagan came within a centimeter of losing his right leg. The stage was set for Hagan to make an impact on the field for the University of California Golden Bears football team. Taking the field against national powerhouse and then-No. 3 ranked Ohio State in a nationally televised game, the redshirt junior tight end was poised to leave his mark on the field. In the third quarter of the game, Hagan caught a pass from quarterback Zach Maynard and looked upfield as Buckeyes safety Christian Bryant lowered his body to make the tackle. The crown of Bryant’s helmet collided with Hagan’s right knee, bending it in a way no knee should bend. Hagan instantly knew something was wrong. “The first thought that entered my mind when it happened was ‘this can’t be happening to me,’” Hagan said. “‘This can’t be real.’ It was a surreal thing. I didn’t know that the injury would end my career or the extent of it, but once I found out about what really happened it was a harsh reality knowing that the doctors were giving me a ‘50-50’ chance of ever playing football again.”

An MRI revealed a torn Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), Medical collateral ligament (MCL) and meniscus in Hagan’s right knee. In addition to the severe ligament damage, the scan showed extensive damage to the exterior lining of his popliteal artery. If Hagan’s right knee bent back a few centimeters farther, the popliteal artery would have been severed and his leg would have required amputation.

ics from the University of California last fall. Hagan was given the opportunity to join the Warriors coaching staff after head coach Norm Chow received a recommendation from former California head coach, Jeff Tedford, who is currently the offensive coordinator for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFL. “Jeff [Tedford] and I go back a long way,” Chow said. “When Jeff called and recommended him [Hagan], that meant a lot to me,

“He’s a knowledgeable guy, he knows football, he knows a lot about the tight end position and he’s been doing a good job so far.” – JORDAN WYNN QUARTERBACK COACH

After undergoing reconstructive surgery in October 2012, one month after the incident, Hagan planned to go through rehab and come back to football. The reality soon set in that his football career as a player was over. “As time went on with rehab and progress, I actually practiced for the first few weeks of camp, and then I just realized that my knee wasn’t responding the way it used to,” Hagan said. “I felt in my heart that God was closing that door for me, and opening up another one; coaching.” At 23 years old, Hagan began his coaching career at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa after earning his bachelor’s degree in socioeconom-

and he’s been really good so far.” Being a graduate assistant on the UH football team takes a lot of dedication and work, something that quarterback coach Jordan Wynn knows a lot about. Last season, Wynn found himself in Hagan’s shoes as a graduate assistant in Norm Chow’s offensive staff, and sees promise in Hagan’s progression thus far. “He’s a knowledgeable guy, he knows football, he knows a lot about the tight end position and he’s been doing a good job so far,” Wynn said. Young and inexperienced as a coach, Hagan has much to learn according to Chow. “There’s obviously a lot more to

coaching an offense than just being a tight end and a player, but that’s just a progression that everyone will go through,” Chow said. Observing the first team’s red zone offense at practice Wednesday morning, Hagan has gained a fresh perspective on coaching and the life of being on the sidelines and not on the field. “It’s a great experience,” Hagan said. “This is my first coaching job and already I’m learning a whole lot about football, about coaching and about relating with players. Coach Chow has been a great man to learn from and it’s really providing me a great foundation and base for what I want to do in the future as a coach.” Looking back at the promise of the playing career he once had, Hagan has learned from the past and how to deal with hardships that challenge him in his new career. “You know, things happen for a reason,” Hagan said. “I don’t wish what happened to me on anybody, but it was a really crazy time in my life. I grew a lot, I learned about myself and how to deal with things, and I’m thankful for that time in my life because it allowed me to move on and conquer insecurities and fears that I had.” Hagan has overcome his injury and continues to overcome the hurdles of coaching, but has also had to adjust to a new life in Hawai‘ i with his wife, Breana Hagan. “At first, it was a tough transition when we first moved here because we didn’t have any family

or friends here,” Hagan said. “It’s beautiful here, but when you don’t really know anybody here, it’s difficult. Everything’s so expensive and close, everything is small, but now that we are in the groove of living here, it’s been really great. I’m really blessed to be here. It’s such an amazing place to live.” One thing Hagan knows for sure about Hawai‘ i is where he loves to spend his free time: in Kailua with his family. “It has my favorite beach,” Hagan said with a smile. “The water’s so clear and the water’s warm, and we really just like to get away and go to Kailua and relax and enjoy it.”
