Researcher creates lava flow FB page
Thousands evacuate after Philippine volcano alert
FRIDAY, SEPT. 19
Sand Island homeless camp lease approved
UH Hilo’s Mark Kimura created a Facebook page to show the effects of and property damaged by the Puna lava flow. Kimura is a postdoctoral researcher in the geology department at the campus. His page includes graphics detailing how the flow could isolate the Puna District from the rest of the island. Kimura thinks if the lava covers Highway 130, the county would have to re-open the Chain of Craters Road, which could increase commute times for Pahoa by another hour and ten minutes.
The Philippines’ most active volcano, Mount Mayon, has spewed large amounts of lava down its slope, causing thousands of villagers to evacuate, officials said. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology raised the alert level to “critical” after glowing rocks shot out from the summit and dozens of low-frequency volcanic earthquakes took place. Its label as “critical” means that the volcano could possibly erupt within weeks.

U.S. to oversee response to Ebola outbreak
Report: Hawai‘ i has worst highways in nation
Scotland votes to stay in United Kingdom
Up to 3,000 military personnel will be dispatched to West Africa in an effort to respond to the Ebola outbreak that has killed more than 2,000 people. The effort is called Operation United Assistance and could cost up to $750 million. It includes expanding training and treatment facilities as well as helping to accelerate transportation of needed equipment, supplies and personnel.
A new report by the Reason Foundation says Hawai‘ i has the worst-performing highways in the nation. It was also reported that Hawai‘i has the least cost-effective highway system. Congestion, deficient bridges and pavement conditions were among the other factors the report cited for Hawai‘ i’s low ranking. The group says Hawai‘ i spent $90,000 on administrative costs for every mile of state road. They say those high costs could be draining money away from road repairs. Other states, such as Texas, had administrative costs as low as a few thousand dollars per mile.
Scotland will remain part of the United Kingdom following a historic referendum vote Sept. 18, as a majority of voters rejected the possibility of Scotland becoming an independent nation. More than 4.2 million people registered to vote on the question: “Should Scotland be an independent country?” For the first time, the vote was extended to 16- and 17-year old’s living in Scotland. Nearly 110,000 people younger than 18 have registered to vote. Almost 790,000 people applied for a postal vote, which is the largest volume of registration for postal votes ever in Scotland.
A Hawai‘ i board has approved the lease for a temporary homeless camp on Sand Island. City officials said the lease should be put into action in two or three months. They hope for a center where homeless people can access medical services. Some area residents and companies are worried about security, but officials will equip the camp with two guards who work around the clock. SOURCE: HAWAII NEWS NOW

Albizia removal project begins
The Institute for Biogenesis Research received $10.8 million from the National Institutes of Health to continue its research on reproduction and developmental biomedicine. The institute was the first to clone a mouse and developed methods to produce transgenic mice, rabbits, lambs and pigs that glow green under black light. The institute’s founder, Ryuzo Yanagimachi, created assisted reproductive methods, such as intracytoplasmic sperm injection, that are used around the world.
Lyon Arboretum is working to remove 12 Albizia trees to prevent the loss of other endangered plants growing below the extensive trees. The Albizia is harmful to other plants because of its large size. The tree’s wood is weak and prone to breaking. Their branches are large and long and can easily drop without warning. Once the trees are removed, Lyon Arboretum will replant other tree species that will provide better benefits to visitors and the University. To avoid planting species like the Albizia, plants will be looked over by the Hawai‘i-Pacific Weed Risk Assessment prior to planting. Removal of the Albizia trees will start in late September and will be completed in Feburary 2015.

#FixUHManoa was sprayed on Kuykendall Annex. The words were rechalked on Campus Center Sunday night.
Students express their message again GSO feels Mānoa needs to be fixed NOELLE FUJII & MEAKALIA PREVICH-LIU NEWS EDITOR & ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR
After having their message removed from the front steps of Campus Center the first time, a group of students has once again chalked a message: Fix UH Mānoa. Students from the campus Graduate Student Organization (GSO), along with other students, wrote the words (which were determined at the time Ka Leo went to press) Sunday evening in an effort to share their message with the campus community. “We feel that essentially we need to fix UH Mānoa; we (need) shared governance, we need to fix any barriers to shared governance, we need transparency,” GSO Vice President Rebekah Carroll said in a phone interview. “Faculty, staff, students, we’re the key stakeholders. Particularly students; there are 20,000 of us that administration is responsible to. And being responsible to us means, listening to us, and across college campuses shared governance is a cornerstone to how a campus should be run.” GSO had chalked its message last Monday night, but it was taken down due to a miscommunication with the overnight crews, according to Carroll.
“We’ve been discussing what happened with (Student Life and Development) SLD. We’ve been in contact with them,” she said. “And then because it was washed down before, obviously, before our reservation, it something much too large to put back up the next morning…. We feel that because it was washed down before 5 a.m. nobody saw it, which means that what we were trying to express and share with the campus community wasn’t seen.” Sunday’s message will be up for as long as GSO’s reservation of
has been trying to improve transparency and accountability and shared governance on the campus. THE FIRST CHALKING
Bonnyjean Manini, interim director for SLD said at ASUH’s meeting last Wednesday that she was present on the night of the chalking at the recreation center at 9:30 p.m. when the chalking had started. She said she wasn’t aware that GSO was going to be writing “Fix UH Mānoa” in chalk. “I saw a cluster of the student
“… we (need) shared governance, we need to fix any barriers to shared governance, we need transparency.” – REBEKAH CARROLL VICE PRESIDENT OF GSO
the free speech zone is good for all day, according to Carroll. GSO sought permission from another student organization to keep the sign up through Thursday and it was approved. The loosely-formed group of students and faculty that wrote the message, according to GSO President Michelle Tigchelaar, shares the name “Fix UH Mānoa.” The group
and full-time employees standing around and I could sense that they were concerned about the chalking,” Manini said. “My immediate response was to go there to support that the chalking not be removed and that student voice be represented in the Campus Center, whether or not we agree or disagree with it as the workers of Student Life and Development.”
She said when GSO left, she let maintenance know about the chalking that had occurred, as work shift changes took place. “We have people that work 24/7, so there are shift changes that are happening. I called to say, ‘Be sure that shifts will know overnight to not wash down the stairs, to let it stay,’ “ she said. Manini added that she contacted GSO as soon as she discovered the chalk washed away in the morning. “I emailed GSO immediately, the people that I had seen the night before to communicate to let them know,“ Manini said. “They didn’t come to me, I went to them to let them know, ‘I’m sorry, but it was washed out, I’m going to find out what is going on,’ and all yesterday we’ve been in communication by email.” Manini said there’s no established protocol in SLD’s maintenance unit for chalking. “... It’s just suppose to be washed down,” she said. “I plan to address this protocol because I feel like that’s where one of the issues is, where they just assume that they have to wash it down immediately to clean up the facilities so that it’s nice, but in this case it caused a real challenge cause the student voice was erased.”
ASUH REACTS TO FIRST CHALKING
ASUH senator Martin Nguyen introduced a resolution Sept. 17 condemning the lack of accountability and transparency in response to the chalk incident. The resolution was not passed at the meeting as many senators wanted numerous amendments. Senators said they wanted a clearer picture of what they were voting on, Nguyen said, and the student body ultimately decided to table the motion until its Oct. 1 general senate meeting. “We will present a version of the bill, typed and printed out to the senate where they can have a better understanding of what their voting on,” Nguyen said. “From what I feel, everything we needed to talk about in principle was there, it’s just there were a few senators that didn’t understand what they were voting for.” MORE INFO

Growth predicted for student jobs State economic data, higher wages both part of strong outlook
24,370 RETAIL SALESPERSONS
COURTNEY TEAGUE CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Some of the most common jobs held by college students will see an increase in positions into next year in Hawai‘ i, experts say. The state Department of Labor and Industrial Relations (DLIR) recently released its annual Occupational Employment and Wages in Hawai‘ i report in August, which states the top five largest occupations of 2013 were retail salespersons, office clerks, cashiers, waiters/waitresses and combined food preparation and serving workers positions. These occupations held the top five spots in 2012 and even in 2008, the largest occupations remained similar with registered nurses replacing waiters/ waitresses. “Those occupations are always going to be in demand as they are among the largest occupations in the state and always have large numbers of openings … We anticipate annual food service openings to number over 5,000, retail sales openings about 2,500 annually and office clerks about 500 annually until the first quarter of 2015,” according to a statement from the DLIR’s Research and Statistics Office. The DLIR was unable to comment on the status of UH students in these industries; however, according to Hawai‘i’s employment dynamics released by the U.S. Census Bureau last September, college-aged people 19-24 employed by these sectors in Honolulu
14,440 OFFICE CLERKS
County account for 20 percent of the workforce. “Basically, it seems like the data are a confirmation that younger people occupy lower-skilled jobs and occupations, as a generalization. It’s important to remember that there are fewer of them, as a share of the population, than there used to be,” Paul Brewbaker, an economist with TZ Economics, said in an email interview. Every year, jobs that students typically occupy accompany others, such as laborers and janitors, to make up the lowest-paying jobs on the entire list, and averaged an hourly wage of about $11 to $15. “The employer will pay the minimum he needs to, to get an employee with certain skills,” Peter Fuleky, an economics assistant professor at UH Mānoa, said in an email. Still, he suggested that students often have an advantage in seeking those part-time jobs. “College attendance may signal desirable qualities (reliability, diligence) of the job seeker to the employer,” Fuleky said. The DLIR’s occupational employment report relies on data collected from the state’s Occupational Employment Statistics Survey, which represents 78 percent of employed residents. PROJECTED TO GROW
The Hawai‘i Labor Market Dynamics report, released by the DLIR in September 2013, breaks down the state’s workforce by factors such as county or industry, and compares Hawai‘i to other states. It analyzes
14,380 CASHIERS
data in an effort to keep track of yearly economic developments and to anticipate probable future trends. In it, the DLIR projects that the accommodation/food service and retail trade industries will be among the top growing for both the short- and long-term future. According to the research and statistics office, most of these jobs require minimal training and have a large turnover. “One would assume that because food service, office jobs and retail opportunity is increasing, there would be more demand for students in those positions,” Bill Kuntsman, a spokesman for the DLIR, said. Natasha Lee a UH student and
13,800 WAITERS AND WAITRESSES
to open up seven new restaurants starting 2016, Lee said. Lee has observed that there are several new restaurants set to open in Waikīkī. “There will definitely be an increase in job opportunities with all the new restaurants opening up,” Lee said. MINIMUM WAGE
In May, Gov. Neil Abercrombie, encouraged by President Barack Obama, enacted legislation that will raise Hawai‘i’s minimum wage over the course of the next four years, starting in 2015. “Employers might say, ‘Oh, we can’t afford to hire more people.’ But if you look at real world
“One would assume that because food service, office jobs and retail opportunity is increasing, there would be more demand for students in those positions.” – BILL KUNTSMAN SPOKESMAN FOR THE DILR
Chili’s of Waikīkī waitress, believes that the outlook will be positive for workers in her industry. As a part of the Ohana Waikīkī West Hotel, Chili’s is in the process of being bought out by the Queen Emma Land Company and is currently scheduled to close in February. It will then be replaced with a new restaurant as part of the hotel’s complete renovation. This is part of a larger expansion operation by the Queen Emma Land Company, which alone plans
behavior, that’s not necessarily true,” Kunstman said, adding that employers use strategies to compensate for increased wages they have to pay. These wages also give them more incentive to provide training for workers. “In the public, I think there’s some misperceptions on wage rates, but I think the impact on students will be positive,” Kunstman said. Fuleky held that while the scheduled minimum wage raise might

FOOD PREPARATION WORKERS
help contribute to a higher demand run, for new workers in the long run change immediate effects of this chang would favor potential employees with previous experience. Since more people may be motivated to look for a job, this would mean employers would first look for candidates with a higher level of training, which would improve their efficiency, he explained. “If productivity increases, it may offset some of the negative impact of the higher labor cost on the profitability of firms,” Fuleky said. Lee agrees with this theory. “I think (the wage increase) will help (the business) because servers will want to work more, although it’s a bigger expense for the restaurant,” she said. “I guess you could say the hiring process will be tougher since the new restaurants will have competition.” Having a more specialized staff, according to Lee, has contributed to a greater sense of unity throughout the workplace. She acknowledged that this has led Chili’s to be very selective with their hiring process. She added that people don’t tip well at her restaurant – another reason students currently in or entering the food service industry might especially look forward to the pay raises. Fuleky noted that the online marketplace will likely eliminate the need for some retail jobs. “Although, food service and office jobs may be more resilient, companies are increasingly relying on temporary or part time workers,” he said.

Campus still under review for possible Title IX violations

UH Mānoa is one of 78 institutions that have pending Title IX sexual violence investigations, according the to the OCR. ERIC ANCHETA CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The U.S. Department of Education Office of Civil Rights (OCR) continues to examine the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa during its open Title IX investigation for possible violations of sexual violence and harassment complaints. The OCR will present its first draft of findings to the campus this semester, but has not specified an exact date of response, said Dr.

Lore Ideta, campus Title IX Coordinator for Students. The investigation was launched May 2014, following a review by the OCR in April 2014. LOOKING INTO THE CAMPUSES
When asked for comments about the investigation, the office responded to Ka Leo with its May 2014 press release. “The Department will not disclose any case-specific facts or details about the institutions under investigation. The list includes investigations opened because of complaints received by OCR and those initiated by OCR as compliance reviews. When an investigation concludes, the Department will disclose, upon request, whether OCR has entered into a resolution agreement to address compliance
triggered by a complaint, but rather an evaluation of how the campus is adhering to the guidelines set forth by the Title IX. All institutions that receive federal funds, including UH Mānoa, are subject to a proactive review at anytime. “I also want to make it clear that a college or university’s appearance on this list and being the subject of a Title IX investigation in no way indicates at this stage that the college or university is violating or has violated the law,” Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Catherine E. Lhnamon said in a May 2014 press release. The goal of a Title IX investigation, according to the press release, is to ensure that the campus is in compliance with the federal law that demands that students are not denied the ability to participate fully in education and other oppor-
tunities due to gender. The UH Mānoa Office of Gender Equity supports all campuses within the UH system, and this investigation reviews compliance within all campuses. “Under the leadership of the Office of the President, UHM (UH Mānoa) is working closely with all campuses of the UH system to ensure compliance in issues related to Title IX,” Ideta said. In the meantime, UH Mānoa continues to improve its policies, procedures and training protocol on all issues and, in particular, those pertaining to gender violence and sexual misconduct, Ideta said. LEARNING IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT
Noelle Pahk, a senior at UH Mānoa, said it is important for students to attend classes in an environment free from discrimination. “Hawai'i is considered ‘the melting pot’ of the Pacific and I believe that no student should ever feel ashamed about the color of their skin or cultural background,” Pahk said. “UH provides a lot of accessible resources for students to get involved with, such as clubs or programs, in order to create a safer environment.” Students are encouraged to visit the UH Mānoa Title IX Office of Gender Equity page for more information on Title IX. The Title IX webpage lists student and faculty rights and gives guidelines for how to file complaints. Other resources are available such as the DOE Office of Civil Rights, and Know Your IX (a privately run non-profit group).

UPASS rate to increase in January 2015 MEAKALIA PREVICH-LIU ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR
The mandatory UPASS bus fee could increase as much as $170 in January. Whether or not the University of Hawai‘ i and the city Department of Transportation Services (DTS) reach an agreement to renew the bus pass program, the current $30 fee will go up next year. Eric Stoetzer, a planner in the public transit division of city DTS, said the current rate given to UH students was an “extremely good fare rate” compared to other riders who have to pay by month. The proposed increase would be used as a way to make bus pass rates reasonable for every TheBus user. “We feel like we need to establish fair policies for TheBus and all the users, whether they’re paying an adult fare of $60 a month – we’re trying to make it more equitable,” Stoetzer said in a phone interview. “It seems like for the students especially on the mandatory system at UH, that we were over-subsidizing what we were giving.” Although the UPASS hike was first discussed at an ASUH general senate meeting on September 3, Stoetzer said DTS has been considering the increase since the end of the Spring 2014 term. “This kind of came about towards the spring semester and it was too late to do anything to get that student involvement at that time, so the best thing for their plan (then) was to extend the agreement for 2014 and then see what happens after that,” he said. AN INCREASED FEE
ASUH Senator Sean Mitsui, who presented a senate resolution in support of a “more favorable” UPASS student rate, said he does

How much students will pay in January depends on whether the current UPASS agreement is extended.
not see how increasing the bus pass would be more “equitable.” “What we have is a really great deal, but under our contract there are special terms,” Mitsui said. “Us being a collective group of customers, we have a large population. We’re really trying to fight for people on both sides of the aisle: people who utilize the bus pass and who don’t utilize the bus pass.” DTS will be surveying the students this semester. They hope to get information to decide whether to renew the mandatory system or not. He said the bus pass hike from $30 this semester to $50 in the Spring 2015 will be a way of meeting between the two costs. “Somewhere between 81 percent or higher of UH students in the mandatory program pick up their bus pass, and that enables them to go anywhere they want all seven days of the week,” Stoetzer said. “Instead of paying $60 a month, they are paying a lot less. We feel that by increasing it to be halfway between a U-fare, which is $30 a month, and an adult fare which is $60 a month, that’s a fair rate” In regards to a further increased UPASS rate after the Fall 2015 semester, Stoetzer said the $75
rate shouldn’t change until Honolulu’s light rail system is running. MANDATORY VS. OPT-IN BUS PASS
While the opt-in pass is available as an option to students of participating schools, the mandatory pass is offered through an agreement between DTS and the university. The opt-in bus pass fee, which excludes institutions such as UH Mānoa and Chaminade that have agreements with DTS for a mandatory program, is also expected to increase in January 2015. “There’s the mandatory program, and that’s something we have with UH Mānoa and also with Chaminade,” Stoetzer said. “ASUH has an agreement with us. Every single one of the 16,000 students will pay $30 this semester, and they’ll all be eligible to pick up a UPASS, and that’s something we wanted to increase.” Stoetzer said at institutions where the opt-in bus pass is available, such as Leeward Community College, Windward Community College, and Hawaii Pacific University, pay around $150 per semester. In January 2015 it will be raised to $200. These bus passes are valid for five months. “We have to have that agree-
ment in place, and it is in place this fall, but after that there’s nothing,” Stoetzer said. “It will, in all likelihood, revert to opt-in, come January 2015.” If the UH Mānoa mandatory UPASS program were to not go through for next semester, Stoetzer said the Mānoa students would have to pay the $200 opt-in rate. The Honolulu City Council sets all bus fares except for U-PASS fares, which are set by DTS, according to Stoetzer. Breene Harimoto, a Honolulu city council member and chair of the Transportation Committee, said all bus fares fund the operation cost of TheBus, including gas and maintenance. He added that cheaper rates encourage students to ride the bus. “We’re teaching the young folks to get on the path of public transportation instead of driving,” Harimoto said in a phone interview. Harimoto said although the council has yet to consider the rate increase, he thinks it’s important to make it affordable for young people to ride the bus. “I think there’s lots to be said for making sure the younger generation grows up with public transit,” he said. “The more affordable it
is, the more students will form that habit of riding public transit.” Harimoto said the proposal still has to be negotiated, as DTS waits for a response from the UH administration. “DTS made an offer to UH, and they’re waiting for a response. The next thing that needs to happen is that response,” Harimoto said. “Whatever recommendation there is from DTS, it’ll come to the city council for a final approval.” As time ticks down until the semester is over, Harimoto said students should be involved in the process. “Right now it’s between the city DTS and UH administration,” Harimoto said. “We only have a short time left, and that’s why I emphasized UH students need to make their desires known to the UH administration.” While some disagree about the program being mandatory, Lauren Brady, a student who used to attend UH from 2006-2011, remembers when the UPASS was first made available. She said she used the bus pass on a daily basis. “I don’t see why they would have to change it. I think if they push it to $75, that’s a bit unfair,” Brady said. “I think they should just stop now and leave it at $50.” MORE INFO

Regents to consider veteran tuition waiver UH will also look at other ways of serving veterans, VP says ERIC ANCHETA CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Recently-discharged student veterans may have access to non-resident tuition fee waivers if the Board of Regents approves a new policy at its Sept. 25 meeting. “If passed, this policy will take effect immediately for implementation in the Fall 2015 semester,” said Jan Javinar, UH Interim Associate Vice President for Student Affairs and a Serving Veterans Task Force member. He added that the policy will take time to be implemented because system-wide changes need to be made in order to facilitate it.
SERVING STUDENT VETERANS
The policy to provide student veterans access to non-resident tuition fee waivers was one of 18 recommendations the UH system’s Serving Veterans Task Force made in its final report that was submitted to UH President David Lassner. The group, which concluded in April, held six meetings since it convened in November 2013. During those meetings, the group discussed current topics affecting student veterans such as veteran transitioning, post traumatic stress disorder, non-resident fees for veterans, improved veteran services on campus and veterans resource center. The group’s recommendations were made to help better facili-
tate veteran education and support services for student veterans across the system. According to the task force’s final report, three of those recommendations were emphasized and noted as priorities: implementing system-wide non-resident tuition differential waiver for recently discharged veterans, establish an ongoing ‘UH Serving Veterans Committee’ to continue the work begun by the task force and establish a physical presence on each UH campus. LOOKING AHEAD
UH will create a “Veterans Services Committee” to convene sometime in October 2014, to address establishing a committee to con-
tinue the task force’s work. The committee will consist of 10 board members, all of whom will be appointed by one of the 10 chancellors from each campus in the UH system, student veteran representatives from each campus, as well as community reps, Javinar said. The “Veterans Services Committee” will be charged with addressing the remaining recommendations in the Task Force report, Javinar said. According to Itagiapili Williams, president of the Student Veterans Organization (SVO) on campus and a member of the task force, the group had an impact on the campus. “It is positive that there was a task force to begin (with) that made recommendations to create a healthier,
more streamlined, and efficient UH (system) for the veteran(s), but the job is incomplete,” he said. Recently discharged veteran and transfer students echo the concern of the task force on not having an established veteran resource center, Kristen Haley, SVO member and sophomore at UH Mānoa said. “I don’t think a lot of people understand how hard it is to transition from (active duty) military to (a) student or even a civilian job. The worst part was definitively adjusting which I still am,” Haley said. “A vet center and the Student Vet Organization would greatly improve the transition for prior military students and set them up for success in the future.”

Students should be encouraged to take classes outside of their requirements to be exposed to new materials.
Confused students are the happiest students Finding your passion through discovery and experience ANNABELLE LE JEUNE CONTRIBUTING WRITER
At the age of 18, young adults can vote, play the lotto, go to jail, sign up for the military and serve. Therefore, at the age of 18, young adults are expected to be capable of narrowing down their interests to one. In the midst of experimenting with friends, relationships, socializing, literature, culture and education, adolescents are asked to choose their career before they even know what their options are. Students should be encouraged to embrace all of their interests and be exposed to new material beyond their immediate reach before they make a decision. DISCOURAGED STUDENTS
“If I knew what I wanted to study from the beginning, I would’ve had my bachelor’s degree by now,” said Kira Stephens, a 23-year-old University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa student. After studying business at California State University Channel Islands, Stephens took a leave of absence and got her aesthetician’s license. She originally studied business, switched to the practice of aesthetics, then to dental hygiene and is now in holistic nutrition as a dietician. Stephens decided to return to school to take prerequisite courses soon after working as an aesthetician. “I wasn’t sure what to study,” Stephens said. “But I knew I wanted to do more with my life.” Growing up with a nutritious diet and fresh meals prepared from scratch, Stephens was accustomed to well-rounded dieting. “I always had this fixation on living a healthy lifestyle,” she said. “When I found out I could study nutrition, it just made sense. I didn’t know there was a field for that.”
The pressure to choose a single major to study in college is greater than any other pressure. It is perpetuated by friends, adults, family, educators, coworkers and even strangers. The pressure to experiment with drugs by peers or the pressure to have sex by hormonal
time was infinite. Students should take classes because they want to; show enough determination and money will not be a problem. At the age of 18, young adults behave as if their time was limitless, so why not apply this attitude to their education and future?
We as students need to have fun with our education. It’s the only way we will feel motivated to learn. youths are not as ubiquitous as the pressure to decide the path of one’s future. Graduating high school, some students know more about Kim Kardashian and Justin Bieber than they know about themselves. Why limit a student’s field of study to just one major? CONFUSION KNOWS BEST
“I started studying architecture because that’s what my mom did,” said Arthi Reddy, finance and international business student. “I have a passion for design. Yet, I felt like I didn’t belong there.” “After two years of enduring architecture at her home university in Hyderabad, India, Reddy made a bold decision to study abroad. During the 11th and 12th grade years in India, students pick between two streams of study: math, physics and chemistry; or math, economics and commerce. Reddy chose to study the latter. While taking electives in economics, Reddy found herself drawn to finance. Education can be enlightening if it is geared toward our interests or if students are allowed to experiment with new classes and school clubs to discover an interest. Students need to learn to live as if
College courses can be expensive. It is practical and cost effective for students to gear themselves towards a particular course of study as opposed to taking extra time, money and work to actually find what they are passionate about – or find what they are not passionate about. Most higher education graduates end up in a career unrelated to their investment in classes. It’s okay to be confused. One of my high school teachers once told me that “you learn most when you are confused.” REMAINING OPEN-MINDED
While conversing with my previous English professor, Gary Davis of Miami Dade College, I told him about my desire to achieve and accomplish many things, as well as my concern about not being able to shorten my list of studies. As a seeker of knowledge, adventure and discovery, I hope that journalism can be my gateway into all that inspires me. Professor Davis told me about my dilemma: “What a wonderful curse. You have so many interests that you cannot decide on one. Don’t ever let anyone tell you to limit your options. Some middle-aged
people still don’t know what they want to do, and here you are with too much to choose from.” We as students need to have fun with our education. It’s the only way we will feel motivated to learn. Experience and expand. Learn and laugh. If we live as if our time is limited, we would all go into the “safe” careers without any aspiration. Fields such as art, English, music and philosophy would be forgotten. Playing it safe makes for a gradually unsatisfying future. “If I listened to everyone else and studied business, I would have been unhappy,” Stephens said. “I have no regrets with all my previous schooling. If I didn’t go through all those steps, it wouldn’t have led me to where I am now. I know this is where I’m meant to be.” When students are not allowed or encouraged to explore, there is a lack of motivation. It’s not just the price or limited types of classes offered. Students who are confused about what they truly want to do often settle on business, accounting or hospitality. However, in my experience in higher education, I realized that many of the resources offered are not handed to me or flashing in neon lights. It is my responsibility as a determined student to network, join clubs that may or may not relate to my interests and to take advantage of the events and seminars held on campus. The students who decide to get passing grades and never take the opportunity to learn beyond their boundaries are missing out on the true values of education. “You always use something somewhere,” Reddy said. “My education is not wasted, it’ll always be useful for me.” Reddy stated that she has bene-
fitted from starting off with architecture. Though she no longer studies architecture, she applies what she has learned to enrich her life. APPROACHING THE FUTURE WITH UNCERTAINTY
“You have to remember that nobody starts where they end. You start where you start and work your way from there,” Professor Davis said. “I never finished reading a book until I was 19, and now I have my Ph.D. in American Literature. Don’t compare yourself to the experts; that’s not fair.” I quit the race to compete against the professionals. I simply do not have the proper training yet. The pressure to compare my two years of higher education to my professors’ years of experience was overwhelming. It is this masochistic mentality that veers students toward their comfort zone. If they are willing, students must challenge themselves to help embrace and determine their interest in unknown fields. That’s how education should be received. “I know this is what I want to do; I just need to explore my career path more. Find my niche,” Stephens said after years of schooling and finally deciding on dietetics. At 23, Stephens can envision her life in this field, while still being open to exploring and discovering other areas of expertise. Maybe she will be a private consultant, a health coach or even use her business background to open a health food café. This is how we should approach our future. Students should not feel that it is necessary to know what they want to do in college and life. The future is unpredictable, and what you think you enjoy today might change in the future.

Littering problem by resident halls GRACE BROWN CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The increasing amount of litter in and around the residence halls is getting out of hand. As each weekend passes, it seems the amount of litter is increasing and is not being picked up. Residents living in the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa campus need to make a change in litter habits. THE LITTER
REIS SHIMABUKURO / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
Requiring students to partipate in mandatory cleaning days is one option to alleviate the litter problem.
Everything from old beer cans to toilet plungers can be found abandoned in and around the residence halls’ grounds. “It is disgusting to walk up the stairs and walk over people’s old food that is all over the stairs,” sophomore Cameron Kraus said. “I believe students should be responsible and pick up their trash.” Junior Kaylee Fernandez who lives in the residence halls recalled a situation from the previous weeks in her building. “There is too much litter; it is disgusting in Hale Noelani,” Fernandez said. “I have walked past a dirty toilet seat outside the elevator over a dozen times and it still has not been picked up. This makes the dorms look repulsive.” “There is a lot of litter in the lounges in the towers, but it is the job of the residents who litter to keep it
clean,” said freshman Mai‘Ana Artero. Residents acknowledge that it is their responsibility to keep the residence hall clean, yet there is still a huge litter problem. HOW CAN THIS PROBLEM BE RESOLVED?
Kraus mentioned that he thinks there needs to be more trash cans, and that they need to be more accessible. Another student who did not want to be named but is a junior and resident of Frear Hall said, “Resident Hall Association (RHA) should put on clean up days.” Living in the residence halls is like being part of a community. In any community, it takes both the leaders and the inhabitants working together to have a clean environment. There are many students that care about the cleanliness of the residence halls and surroundings grounds; it just takes everyone working together to care about their environment. If everyone would take five minutes and pick up some litter, the entire situation would improve immediately. Also needed is leadership from RHA to create initiatives that will encourage and inspire the students living on campus to no longer litter. If the RHA needs to implement strict regulations, then it ought to be done.

Questioning transparency in search advisory committees ‘Fresh eyes’ needed to solve problems REBEKAH CARROLL CONTRIBUTING WRITER
In recent weeks, transparency has become a growing concern to campus governance groups at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. Whether discussing the selection process for the new president, which, according to some, lacked an acceptable candidate pool, or the controversial firing of Chancellor Apple, student and faculty leaders are calling for the administration to involve campus governance groups when making decisions that directly affect those of us here on campus. Many student leaders have stated that the hiring process for Chancellor Apple was open and valued, and that the selection committee asked for the involvement of stakeholder groups by way of representatives. While it is true that the search committee did have representatives from different governance groups, the establishment of the Search Advisory Committees remains an opaque process; how
these committees are established is important to consider. Who serves on them? Are key stakeholders and constituency groups being properly represented? Is there room for improvement in the composition process? A FAMILIAR REPRESENTATIVE
Following the announcement of the departure of Vice Chancellor for Students Francisco Hernandez, the Office of the Chancellor requested nominations for a graduate student representative to sit on the Search Advisory Committee (SAC) for the new Vice Chancellor of Students (VCS). The Graduate Student Organization (GSO) submitted two recommendations for potential committee members, but due to scheduling conflicts, one of the nominees was unavailable to serve on the committee. GSO was informed that the remaining nominee had served too recently on another SAC and was deemed ineligible to serve. GSO then submitted two new names and one of the second-round nominees
was selected to serve on the SAC. Shortly thereafter, an announcement was made that the SAC had been finalized. The GSO was surprised to see a representative had been selected to serve on the VCS SAC after having recently served on other committees, including the Presidential Search Committee only a few months prior. Because their initial nominee had been disqualified from serving for this very reason, GSO wrote a letter seeking an explanation of the decision to accept this nominee that should have not been eligible to serve. Additionally, the GSO requested a copy of the policies that determine who serves on SACs. In response to the written inquiry, the Office of the Chancellor stated that they had no purview over the committees on which the repeat representative had previously served since those were not organized by the Chancellor’s office. This came as a surprise, as the Chancellor’s office would have been aware of the representative’s
service on those other committees regardless of their involvement in the selection process. Furthermore, the response did not fulfill the request for a copy of the policies governing the composition of SACs. Accordingly, the GSO was unsatisfied with this response because it did not address key concerns, and the GSO has since written a follow-up letter requesting more information.
also less transparent. In order to represent the broad range of interests and opinions across campus constituencies, these committees must have variety. If committee members with the same viewpoint and outlook are consistently selected, then it stands to reason that the same types of candidates with the same perspectives will be selected. A CALL FOR NEW REPRESENTATIVES
LACK OF TRANSPARENCY
As it is necessary to have the input of stakeholders to ensure a quality candidate pool that will then be drawn from to serve the UH Mānoa community, how representatives for Search Advisory Committees are selected is crucial. If it is true that having the same person serving on multiple committees does hinder the search and selection process, then this needs to be true across the board. If, instead, the SACs are able to cherry pick those that sit in on the selection process, then the entire process becomes compromised and
We need solutions to problems that the current administration has been unable to correct. This means fresh eyes on the situation, yet the search committee coordinators keep returning to the same representatives, hoping for better results. This is not a sound strategy for moving the campus forward. The GSO is pushing for more information on this issue and has repeatedly requested that the Chancellor’s office provide a copy of the guidelines that govern the process by which SAC members are evaluated and selected. To date, no policy has been provided.

For this school year, our team of experts chose “superheros” as the theme for the issues after superheroes, hence the usage of the Hulk on this cover. In a nutshell, we want these issues and guides to help you have a “super” year. The island of O‘ahu is jam-packed with a wide array of eateries, from ethnic cuisine to local grinds to simple sandwiches. No matter what you find yourself craving, there is an establishment for you. Despite the small size of the island, finding a place to eat can be difficult, especially if you have no idea where to look. Have no fear, though: the Ka Leo Dining Guide is here to assist, so you’ll never go hungry. Within this guide, you’ll be able to find the perfect place to get the top ten dim sum eateries, what an açai bowl is and how to make one and even what type of food you are (who doesn’t want to know that?). Using this guide throughout the semester to aid your cravings will be a wise decision indeed. The only thing our dining guide lacks is actual food; if we could make that happen, trust me, we would! Have a wonderful culinary journey around the ‘āina, my peers. Happy tasting!
COFFEE
MORNING GLASS As a typical college student, I consume an average of fifteen cups of coffee per day; therefore I am picky in my espresso and drip preferences. I still have yet to find a place that creates better coffee than Morning Glass. Every cup is perfectly balanced in its coffee to milk ratio and the espresso is rarely burnt. My personal favorite is a half cinnamon and half caramel cappuccino with soymilk. A huge plus is that Morning Glass is located near campus so you can easily get a coffee fix that isn’t Starbucks. ADDRESS: 2955 East Mānoa Rd. HOURS: Mon-Fri: 7:00 a.m.-4 p.m.; Sat: 7:30 a.m.-4 p.m.; Sun: 7:30 a.m.-1 p.m. CONTACT: 673-0065 WEBSITE: morningglasscoffee.com
MEXICAN
LUIBUENO’S Luibueno’s is underappreciated, in my opinion, because it is located close to another Mexican food competitor. However, I prefer the former for the extensive menu that touches close to my home in Arizona. Try the Pollo Deshebrado (shredded chicken) burrito with a glass of the homemade horchata (cinnamon milk). Delicious. ADDRESS: 66-165 Kamehameha Hwy HOURS: Mon-Sun: 11 a.m.-12 a.m. CONTACT: 637-7717 WEBSITE: luibueno.com
JAPANESE
MARUKAME UDON There is a reason the lines to Marukame stretch out and around the building: the soft noodles and tasty broth are enough to keep tourists and locals coming back for more. If you prefer your udon with more pizzazz like I do, try the niku (beef ) udon with a soft-boiled egg. For sides, Marukame offers a wide variety of tempura and musubi. ADDRESS: 2310 Kuhio Ave. HOURS: Mon-Sun: 7 a.m.-9 a.m.; 11 a.m.-10 p.m. CONTACT: 931-6000
CHINESE
WON KEE Although all the dishes at Won Kee are desirable, especially the ginger chicken, I prefer this seafood restaurant for its fresh dim sum. Won Kee offers the usual char siu buns, mochi rice and shrimp dumplings, but never serves the food cold and the dim sum carts are always nearby. Plus, the restaurant is affordable for those of us on the college budget. ADDRESS: 100 N. Beretania St. HOURS: Mon-Sun: 8 a.m.–9 p.m. CONTACT: 524-6877

GUIDE TO TIPPING IKAIKA SHIVELEY ASSOCIATE FEATURES EDITOR
VERONICA FREEMAN ALOHA NIGHTS EDITOR
Don’t get stuck in a restaurant without knowing a few tips about how to act properly. Be it at a picnic table outside of a food truck or a five-star restaurant in Waikīkī, make sure you can impress in any situation.

Napkins go on your lap
Close your mouth while chewing
Cut, don’t rip, your food
Use ‘Excuse me’
Whether the restaurant you are in has linen, cotton or paper napkins, it is common etiquette (and practical) to place the napkin on your lap. Your dining companions will be spared the sight of your dirty napkin, and it will prevent any embarrassing clothing stains if you drop food on your lap by accident.
No one is interested in seeing the food that you ordered in mashed-up form. If you are in the middle of telling a compelling story, hold off on eating until you’re done or pause long enough to chew your food before continuing. Drink lots of water and make sure your food is cut up well enough to avoid any other chewing and swallowing problems.
Even if we are descendants of cavemen, there is no need to pull at your food. The art of holding your fork in your non-dominant hand and cutting your food with your dominant hand is crucial for fancy dinner situations. But a restaurant doesn’t have to be fancy for you to know that cutting your food into small pieces makes for easier eating and shows off good manners.
Though some were raised with the words ingrained in them and some were not, it is an important sign of respect. You can use “excuse me” or “pardon me” when trying to get a server's attention, when asking for an item across the table or when excusing yourself to go to the bathroom.

Women should order first
If your food arrives first, wait
Good posture is important
Utensils go on your empty plate
A good server looks to the women to order before the men at the table. If the person waiting on your party is not obvious about who is to order first, men, it is your job to look to the women at the table and signify that they should go ahead. Even in take-out situations, remember to let the girl stand in line first to order her food. This makes it easier to pay, since the last person ordering food generally pays.
It can be very confusing when plates arrive at different times at a dinner table, especially when it is a large party. Common courtesy is to wait until all members of the party have received their food. Though you may be drooling over your steak, chances are they’ll appreciate the self-control.
While you may not maintain good posture in an 8 a.m. lecture hall, it is important to sit up straight in a restaurant. Sit a comfortable amount of space away from the table, not so close that you’re hugging it, but not so far away that you have to extend your arm fully to reach your plate.
Whether it’s a special occasion or simply wanting a night off without dish duties, eating out is always a great choice. While tipping isn’t mandatory, it’s a courteous gesture to the workers who may have low wages and encounter hectic shifts. Here are a few tips on how to tip during your next restaurant visit. How much should be tipped depends on the overall experience at the restaurant. Generally 15-20 percent of the bill is considered a reasonable tip for adequate to great service. If you can afford it, a larger percentage is recommended if the server goes above and beyond to please guests. If you are a regular at a restaurant, you can create positive relationships with the servers by giving tips 15-20 percent or higher. For bad service, a lower percentage such as 5-10 percent is acceptable. It’s highly advised to leave a tip, even if the service is completely horrid because some restaurants also divide tips between busers, food runners, and other behind-the-scene positions. Not only will tipping benefit struggling workers, but it will also give them an incentive to strive harder, resulting in a better experience for customers.
HANDY TIPPING APPS TIPNSPLIT TIP Procypher Software $0.99 This app works best for large parties because it allows the tip to be calculated into the total amount, then divided by however many are in the group. Usually servers dislike splitting the bill on their own because it is a hassle, but if you do the math for your server, he or she will leave happy and so will you. TIP BUCKET Brand ERP, LLC $0.99 Tip Bucket works for both you and the server. The app breaks down the logistics of a server’s shift, like the total amount of the bill, the tip rate, the tip out and the hours worked. This way, you will be able to view the difference your tip truly makes.
When you are finished with a meal, place your utensils on your TIP CALCULATOR % plate to signify that you are done. Skol Games LLC Forks go tongs-side up. This allows Free your waiter or waitress to clear your plates without needing to ask This app allows you to input your bill amount and the number in if you are finished or not. your party to generate an ideal tip amount for everyone. If you’re on budget and prefer your apps without a fee, Tip Calculator % is the right choice for you. SOURCE: FREEPIK; DIDRIKS / FLICKR

Diamond Head Cove Health Bar
Ono Seafood
Leonard’s Bakery
Waipuna Sushi
With its convenient location, the Diamond Head Cove Health Bar offers a variety of delicious and healthy treats, but it is most known for its açaí bowls. The bar offers three different types of fruity snacks: Da Cove Bowl (smallest), Da Mana Bowl and Da Hawaiian bowl. Rich and filling, Da Hawaiian Bowl is the newest açaí bowl on the menu and includes pa'i'ai (poi with no water) along with the açaí blend. Besides açaí bowls, the health bar offers a variety of juices, smoothies, omelets and kava, the traditional Hawaiian drink.
Located on Kapahulu, Ono Seafood is known for fresh poke. Make it a plate lunch with a side of rice, macaroni salad and lomi salmon for every local’s favorite meal. Ono Seafood is the best place to hit up after a long surf session because it’s a takeout restaurant. Keep this in mind in case you’re hoping to eat in. The menu includes a variety of poke including shoyu ahi, Hawaiian-style ahi, miso ahi and wasabi ahi. Ono Seafood also offers all of these flavors in the tako (octopus) poke. Although the place is primarily take-out, it does offer very limited outdoor seating.
Located on Kapahulu near the UH Mānoa campus, Leonard’s Bakery is loved by locals because of its famous malasadas — pieces of dough that are coated in sugar and cinnamon and deep fried to perfection. Some even come with your choice of a special filling, such as custard, chocolate and coconut. Besides malasadas, Leonard’s also offers personalized cakes, pastries, cookies, pies, pāó dōcé and several different kinds of bread wraps. Every treat is hand baked, and the prices are reasonable. When stopping by, remember to have some cash handy because of the $5 credit card minimum.
Waipuna Sushi specializes in seafood. Waipuna Sushi is located conveniently in Mānoa, right across the street from Serg’s Mexican Kitchen and is famous for its mouthwatering sushi rolls. One reason that this eatery is so beloved by locals, especially young ones, is because it’s delicious and close to the UH Mānoa campus. One of the most popular rolls on the menu is the Dragon Maki, which includes unagi (eel), cucumber and avocado, is rolled in rice and nori (seaweed). The layers and the colors of the dragon roll are supposed to resemble a dragon. Not only does the menu offer individual sushi rolls, it also has a separate menu for party platters. Some of the most popular party platters include the Mini Holiday Platter and Renee’s Holiday Platter. The menu also includes a variety of bento options and a few choices of salads and noodles. Besides the Dragon Maki, the Dynamite Maki is also popular.

Plantation Iced Tea? SAMMI BAUMGARTNER SPECIAL ISSUES EDITOR
In Hawai‘i, there is no such thing as cold weather — most days are sweltering hot, which means the drinks are always cold. A popular and refreshing beverage to cool you off on these hot days is a Plantation Iced Tea. If you’re new to the island, the name may be unfamiliar. Here is the 411 on the popular island drink. 1. Plantation is the name of iced tea with pineapple juice, similar to the South’s sweet tea or Arnold Palmer’s with lemonade.

Island Style BBQ North Shore shrimp trucks When heading to the North Shore to catch some waves or hit the beach, you will drive past a variety of mobile shrimp trucks in the Hale‘ iwa area. Locals love these spots because they are so plentiful and conveniently near the beach, so you can enjoy your lunch while watching the surf. The two most popular shrimp trucks are Macky’s Sweet Shrimp Truck and Giovanni’s Shrimp Truck. Giovanni’s shrimp truck is one of the top ten most popular food trucks in the country. They both offer a wonderful variety of shrimp dishes. Besides these two, there are at least four or five other shrimp trucks along the street side of Hale‘iwa. Hours vary, but there is always at least one of them that is open each day.
Side Street Inn
Los Chaparros
The Side Street Inn menu says “local style comfort food,” and that food is exactly why it is loved by locals across O‘ahu. It has a fourstar rating on Yelp and is famous for its Hawaiian-style dishes. Popular dishes include fried pork chops, spicy fried chicken and the kim chee fried rice. Since it has a sports bar, it also has a spectacular drink menu. If you’re looking to relax, watch a game and enjoy some local food, stop by Side Street Inn on your next day off, grab a beer and enjoy.
One of the most beloved Mexican restaurants on the island is Los Chaparros located in Mo‘ili‘ili. It’s most popular for its house salsa, as well as its chimichangas and the LC Fiesta burrito. Although the restaurant doesn’t open until lunch time, the restaurant has breakfast burritos to enjoy any time of day. Los Chaparros offers a small variety of delicious traditional Mexican desserts including flan, strawberries and cream chimichangas, bread pudding and banana flautas with ice cream.

Try an açaí bowl KELLY SLOAN STAFF WRITER
Açaí, pronounced AH-sigh-EE, is a palm tree that grows in the northern area of South America. Its berries have been used for medicinal purposes for centuries, but now it has become very popular as a health or super food. The açaí berry, like other berries, is very high in antioxidants. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), “Several decades of dietary research findings suggested that consuming
greater amounts of antioxidant-rich foods might help to protect against diseases.” You can buy chocolate-covered açaí berries, açaí in fruit juices such as V-8 Fusion or açaí cookies. One way to increase your intake is to make smoothies or get the trendy açaí bowls. Açaí bowls have become a popular treat around the world, especially in Hawai‘i. This antioxidant-rich food provides the body with energy, vitamins and minerals. Açaí bowls

STAY-IN DORM RECIPES KELLY SLOAN STAFF WRITER
Cooking and being creative in the kitchen is a good idea for many reasons: It allows you to enjoy dining at home, which is good if you’re on a budget. It can also be therapeutic. When cooking at home, you can control how you prepare a meal, which is difficult to do when dining out because you can’t control everything that happens in the back of the restaurant. Cooking at home with friends and family is a great way to socialize. Who’s not in a good mood when chopping vegetables for a salad or mixing together ingredients for the best ever chocolate chip cookies? Here are some fun recipes to get you back in the kitchen or to give some inspiration; they will satisfy every taste bud, food craving and more.

Well-known to college students, Tropics Tap House serves up everything from mojito wings and pizza to grilled romaine and poke. A variety of beers, beer cocktails (the Dirty Bastard is a favorite), wine and cocktails are served nightly. Sunday after 6 p.m. is Industry Night, with 50 percent off all alcohol (except scotch) and pizza. All drafts are 25 percent off. Tuesdays bring $1-2 tacos and $3 margaritas and Dos Equis, and there is always a game or two or three playing on the many TVs. If none of the above are appealing, then there are plenty of games to choose from, like darts, shuffleboard, pool and foosball.

Anna O’Brien’s, located next to the Japanese Cultural Center, brings a taste of Irish culture to the island. There are the consistent Comedy U Wednesdays (featuring local comedians from around the island), Thumpin’ Thursdays and Sweet Reggae Sundae, but the two-story pub also has special events, featuring artists ranging from The Deadbeats to Chris Thomas King. There are always specials on Pabst Blue Ribbon and a different whiskey featured each month; this month’s is Jameson Gold Reserve (for $10) and Jameson standard (for $4). Disclaimer: Smoking is allowed downstairs, so stay upstairs if a smoke-free environment is preferred.
With a goal of providing sportsrelated entertainment to the masses, RB follows the sports bar theme. Games include pool tables, darts, video games and, on some nights, beer pong. For those who are less about gaming, karaoke is available, as well as live music. When it comes to food Rock Bottom has a full menu, including salads and wraps, fries and fried rice, pizza and wings and local favorites – all of which can be washed down with a pitcher of beer.

HAYLEY MUSASHI, STAFF WRITER
Living in a warm, tropical climate, both locals and tourists alike often find themselves in need of a cold, refreshing treat to tame the rising temperatures. And while shave ice is a dessert commonly associated with the state of Hawai‘i, its origins span the Pacific Ocean and nearly one hundred years. The origins of the shave ice we know today can be traced to the age of the booming sugar plantations in Hawai‘i, according to Hawaiishavedice.com. Migrating to the islands
in search of opportunity, Japanese immigrants brought with them a frozen dessert that would ultimately be known as our modern day shave ice. Known as kakigori in Japan, shave ice is believed to have originated in the city of Yokohama, Japan, but soon grew to popularity all throughout the country during the 1920s. As the sugar plantations began to die off, a number of the Japanese immigrants who remained in Hawai‘i opened up convenience stores and began selling the unique treat.
ANTOINETTE RANIT / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
Initially, shave ice was only prepared and sold on Sunday to accommodate for the only day of rest the plantation workers were given; however, as the immigrants began to open up shops, demand for the shave ice increased and an industry was born. Shave ice has spread throughout the globe and is known by different names and variations, but a stay in Hawai‘i would not be fulfilled without a trip to your nearest shop.

MATSUMOTO SHAVE ICE A must-see on any tourist’s visit to O‘ahu, what used to be a small grocery store in 1951 has become known as the primary definition of Hawaiian shave ice, and is what most competitors are compared to. Established in 1951, the store now produces nearly 1,000 shave ice per day during the summer months, and visitors can gaze upon the shop’s walls adorned with the photos of celebrities who made the same journey to historic Hale‘iwa town. WAIOLA SHAVE ICE With three locations in the Honolulu area, and one conveniently located on Kapahulu Avenue, Waiola Shave Ice has become a local favorite for those who aren’t willing to make the trek to the North Shore. An O‘ahu institution, Waiola’s offers a plethora of toppings and flavor combinations that is sure to please.

Dim sum for everyone Top dim sum restaurants around O‘ahu
TIEN AUSTIN / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
DANIELLA REYES STAFF WRITER
Whether you’re a local or a tourist, you’ve got to partake in one of O‘ahu’s most popular culinary traditions at least once. Originating in Southern China, dim sum can now be found in many places around Hawai‘ i. To many, the sight of those metal carts full of piping hot bamboo steamers is almost as comforting as eating the dishes themselves. The best restaurants for dim sum are mostly in Chinatown, but there are a few gems that can be found closer to campus. Here are the top places to eat dim sum:
Waimalu Chop Suey Unfortunately for those who live far from town, there aren’t a lot of options. Waimalu Chop Suey is a small restaurant in Waimalu Shopping Center in ‘Aiea, and while they are mostly known for their regular Cantonese dishes, their dim sum is good as well. Service is polite and the food is fairly priced, so I’d recommend this place if you’re absolutely craving some siu mai (pork hash) or har gau (shrimp dumplings) but aren’t anywhere near Honolulu and can’t bear to face the traffic just for a few manapuas (char siu bao).
Golden Palace Seafood Restaurant
Harbor Village Cuisine
From the outside, Golden Palace looks like your typical Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. They make that mark by featuring prices are significantly cheap for dim sum staples. You get what you pay for unfortunately, which means some dishes might not be as high quality as other restaurants in Chinatown. However, Golden Palace is recommended if you’d like to try many different dim sum dishes at cheaper prices than usual.
Harbor Village Cuisine is unique on this list because instead of selecting the dishes that you want off the cart, you simply order them off a menu. The food is made-to-order and is guaranteed to be freshly made. The menu isn’t large, but they have all the usual suspects like siu mai, har gau, mochi rice and more. This restaurant can be found in Hawai‘i Kai as part of the Koko Marina Shopping Center, so there’s ample parking. However, prices are higher here, so if you’re kama‘aina be sure to show your ID as you can get a 10 percent discount on your dine-in or takeout order.
Don’t expect a sit-down meal at this place: They’re a working factory, not a restaurant. Order your food at the counter and watch as the workers in the kitchen make your food right in front of you. There isn’t a lot of variety to their menu, but there is high quality dim sum made fresh. Manapuas (char siu bao) are their main selling point – warm, large buns containing a hefty amount of savory pork. They also have pork hash (siu mai) and other dumplings available, all at very cheap prices.

Fook Lam Seafood Royal Garden Happy Days Jade Dynasty Restaurant Chinese Restaurant Seafood Restaurant Seafood Restaurant Fook Lam is one of the many restaurants in the Chinese Cultural Center and boasts a recently renovated dining area and large picture windows that overlook the water. The food, while slightly costlier than average, is tasty and they give large portions of dim sum. Their xiao long bao (Shanghai dumplings) are particularly good here as they serve a lot of them and are freshly made. Service is typical of what you’d find in Chinatown -- the servers speak at higher than usual volumes and are particularly eager to push food onto your table. Stay cool, describe what you want and remain polite but firm; it’s all just a part of dim sum culture.
This restaurant, located on the third floor of the Ala Moana Hotel, is easily accessible by any bus that goes to Ala Moana Center. Parking is also readily available on the mall side. However, because this restaurant is in a hotel, you can expect their dim sum to be some of the priciest on this list. You get what you pay for, however, and that is high-quality dim sum served in a sophisticated, elegant setting more formal than many places on this list. Royal Garden is good for taking visitors to Hawai‘ i, as you can work off some of that food after lunch exploring the shops at Ala Moana Center next door.
Happy Days gets a top spot on our list as it’s the closest restaurant to campus and one of the most affordable. It’s a good place to take those who haven’t had a lot of dim sum experience, as the waitresses are used to the college crowd and will let you view their carts and pick out dishes that you might want. The dim sum is consistently good, although this spot is popular with locals and the restaurant can get very crowded during lunch hours on weekends. If you don’t have time for a sitdown lunch, Happy Days offers discounts on take-out dim sum: 15 percent off your order if you pay with cash and 10 percent off if you pay with credit card.
Char Hung Sut
Jade Dynasty is located on the fourth floor of Ala Moana Center in the Ho‘oikipa Terrace. It’s convenient for those who are already shopping at Ala Moana and want to get a traditional dim sum lunch. However, portions are smaller than usual, and because this restaurant is in the mall, it is slightly more expensive. The dining area is very sumptuous and service is polite and friendly, which may be something of a rarity in Chinese restaurants. The crowd is usually a mix of tourists and locals. Jade Dynasty is a good place to bring visitors to Hawai‘ i or large groups, as they have many private rooms that can be used for parties.
Mon, Wed-Sat: 5:30 a.m.-2 p.m. WEB: charhungsutrestaurant.com
Legend Seafood Restaurant
Chances are if you stop by Legend Seafood, you’ll be greeted with a bustling restaurant and a long line of people waiting outside the door. This restaurant is one of those that you should come during non-peak hours. It’s a spacious restaurant but often gets filled to the brim with large numbers of local families. They have one of the best and biggest menus of dim sum, so be sure to try as many new dishes as possible if that’s your thing. This restaurant is located in the Chinese Cultural Center, close to Fook Lam. The setting is fancier and the prices are higher, so if you’re not into waiting for a table you might want to try out some of the other restaurants in the Center. MORE INFO

ASIAN DINING ETIQUETTE How to feast in the Far East
LILIAN CHENG / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I .
CHINESE
JAPANESE
For those new to Hawai‘i, the culture can be quite the shock, especially if you hail from places around the world without a strong Asian influence. If you haven’t noticed by now, a majority of Hawai‘i’s population is Asian. Even if you have lived in Hawai‘i for years and grown accustomed to the culture, there is always something new to learn. When it comes to dining, Asian cuisine is flavorful and around every corner of Hawai‘ i, but before you enter one of many establishments, there are some rules you should become familiar with.
1. Before you start to eat, make sure the eldest person at your table has the first bite. 2. Make sure your napkin hangs in your lap at all times by tucking a corner underneath your plate. 3. Do not leave your chopsticks on top of your dishes unless you are finished. Your server will assume you’re done and clear the dish if chopsticks are left on top. 4. You can slurp, spit out small bones and lift your bowl to drink soup or to eat rice. These practices are uncommon in America, but are traditional to the Chinese. 5. Don’t be afraid of the Lazy Susan, or rotating surface in the middle of the table. These are used to easily pass food from person to person.
1. Give proper thanks before you dine by saying, “Itadakimasu.” 2. Learn how to use chopsticks, which are essential for most Asian dining. Start off with wooden chopsticks because the grip is much firmer than plastic or metal. Once you’ve mastered using this utensil, you can move on up. Do not point your chopsticks while talking to someone or at food, do not rub your chopsticks together and do not stab your food in order to lift it. 3. If provided with a wet towel before dining, use it to only wash your hands. 4. Only pour soy sauce into a bowl for dipping, not onto your food. 5. If you slurp your food, this means you are enjoying the meal. 6. Do not waste your food; finish everything on your plate. 7. For drinks, make sure to refill your elders’ glasses whenever empty – no one should have an empty glass. Make sure you don’t pour your own drinks.
FILIPINO
KOREAN
VIETNAMESE
1. Wait to take your seat until the eldest have been seated, and wait until the eldest has taken their first bite before you take yours. 2. Eat at the same pace as everyone – do not rush or linger, so everyone finishes at the same time. 3. Blowing your nose at the table is taboo. 4. Koreans do not hold their bowls of rice and soup when eating. 5. Always acknowledge the host, if there is one, before and after the meal.
1. Traditionally, men get served first. 2. Always have both hands on the table. 3. Use chopsticks in the same manner as the other ethnicities. 4. Leave a little food on your plate, even after you’ve had your fill.
SAMMI BAUMGARTNER SPECIAL ISSUES EDITOR
1. It is traditional to eat with your hands in the Philippines, so if you aren’t offered any utensils, you’ll know why. 2. If you are offered more food and do not want any, make sure to leave food on your plate so those around you don’t refill it. 3. Sharing a table with strangers is customary; just treat the table like a separate one and do not engage with others at the table.

BELLYFUL OF LATE NIGHT EATERIES LAUREN ROXTON ALOHA NIGHTS STAFF WRITER
It’s past midnight and you’re starving - but you want something more than just instant ramen or Zippy’s. Here is a selection of late-night eateries that don’t sacrifice quality in the wee hours of the morning.
Shokudo Japanese Restaurant & Bar Two words: Honey Toast. Shokudo’s signature dish boasts numerous toppings and flavors and is a crowd favorite. Along with bountiful desserts, it has a number of dinner options to satisfy a wide range of desires. The Lobster Dynamite Roll is a crowd-pleaser, but try your sushi along with crispy rice for a nice change of pace to traditional sticky sushi rice. The lounge environment sets a cozy stage for great late-night dining.
Side Street Inn Side Street Inn’s comforting atmosphere is great when you want home-cooked food late at night. Its specialty, fried rice, comes in different savory varieties. Lilikoi baby-back ribs add a sweet interpretation of the traditional BBQ style. The menu has many options, there is something for everyone, which can only be a good thing at this family-style establishment.
Downbeat Diner and Lounge With Downbeat’s lounge and dinner menu, you can choose your level of dining right off the bat. This vegan-friendly restaurant can make any of its menu items with a meat substitute. The menu has a wide range of options, including the popular Carnivore burger and apple fritters, if you want something to satisfy those late-night sweet cravings. They also have a Chunky Monkey milkshake — even the name is enticing.
Restaurant Epic
Liliha Bakery
This restaurant truly is “epic.” Located in Chinatown, this casual, clean restaurant is perfect for those late-night first friday food cravings. Its escargot poppers add an upscale flair to the fusion restaurant’s menu. If you’re in the mood for something to drink, try Epic’s distinctive lime-flavored mojitos. Fried mac-and-cheese balls are also a hit with people who want something a little less adventurous.
If nothing else, come here just for the delicious desserts. With very limited seating, you might have to wait, but it is worth it. The sweet rolls and house-made jelly will satisfy you from the start, and the waffles are buttery and crispy, especially with another helping of delicious jam. If you’re looking for something non-breakfast, try Liliha Bakery’s loco moco, perfectly cooked and served extra hot. Always order a coco puff after you finish; you won’t regret this deliciously sweet pastry.

Kimukatsu With endless miso soup, what could go wrong? Kimukatsu’s specialty is a Japanese pork cutlet called tonkatsu. Select flavors and dipping sauces to decide what you would like to accompany your meal, including garlic, cheese and black pepper. If you want to avoid fried foods, you can opt for a tasty veggie dish or sushi.

Sweet Home Cafe
Lucky Belly
A Taiwanese hot pot spot is great when you want something warm late at night. Sweet Home Cafe has numerous soups and fresh ingredients for you to choose from, and along with your meal, you can get a shaved ice dessert topped with condensed milk on top. Plus, the restaurant is BYOB, so there is no worries that they might not have.
This Asian fusion spot has small plates bursting with flavor. Open late enough to visit after (or during) First Fridays, this place is always packed, and for good reason, given its unique takes on traditional dishes like oxtail dumplings or beet salad. Lucky Belly’s signature Belly Bowl, ramen with pork belly and bacon, is its take on traditional ramen.

Mānoa Medieval Combat Club creates comradery

The warrior swipes at her opponent, striking her sword upon his shield. The shieldbearer recoils from the hit, leaving his leg vulnerable to a cut to the knee. He falls to the ground, deflects another slash and is felled by a dagger in the back from a third fighter. This is not a scene from a true battlefield: It’s what’s happening every week in front of Holmes Hall at UH Mānoa, where the Mānoa Medieval Combat Club fights. Formed five years ago, the club meets every Thursday from 3 to 6 p.m. to engage in friendly combat with cloth-covered foam swords, flails, daggers and decorated shields. The weapons have been passed down from the original founders of the group, said Mary Campany, club president and English major senior. The club aims to provide a means of exercising that transcends the usual training routines. “It’s a great workout and it’s really fun because I feel like I’m in ‘Game of Thrones’ or ‘Kill Bill’,” freshman
Jeane Bracken said. “I think it’s awesome. It lets me release the energy from a stressful week.” “You learn to move parts of your body that you never knew were movable,” Shin Yamaguchi said. Yamaguchi is an alumna of UH and has been in the club the longest, having joined in Spring of 2011. “I joined because I wanted to practice something related to martial arts,” Yamaguchi said. “Now I’m still here to assure that rules enforced in the past are not changed.” Rules are heavily emphasized in the group. A waiver must be signed, the rules must be understood and new recruits must fight two practice duels before joining the club. In order to “kill” a fighter, participants have to score a direct hit on two parts of the body: the limbs or torso. If an arm is hit, it must be placed behind the fighter’s back. If a leg is hit, he or she must fall to the ground in a crouched position. Needless to say, the club has drawn eyes due to their prominent practice area being on an open lawn across the street from Johnson Hall. This visibility has turned out to be the Mānoa Medieval Com-
bat Club’s most effective recruitment strategy. “I was walking past and saw people using the sword and I said, ‘Oh dang, that’s so cool’,” said Bracken, the club’s newest member. Even the club’s president was drawn in by observing the group in action. “Much like other people, I walked past and thought it was interesting,” Campany said. “We are very visible.” There are about 15 active members, with six to eight showing up to each practice, according to Campany. Dustin Miller, a club member who does not attend UH, and alumnus Yamaguchi are proof that the club is not exclusive to those attending school at Mānoa. “There aren’t many organizations like this on the island,” Miller said. “This is my hobby and I need people to fight with, so this club is great. I feel welcome here.” The members of the club don’t restrict their relationships to being combative partners. Between duels, members are found chatting and laughing with each other. “I love the people,” Campany said. “They’re a lot of fun. It’s fun
to fight, but the witty banter is my favorite part.” The Manoa Medieval Combat Club does not require that members have previous swordplay experience and welcomes all who are interested to attend one of their practice sessions. MORE INFO

Verde’s mission is to serve quality burritos made fresh in front of you for a reasonable price. However, their on-campus location struggles to make it seem that way. If you’re looking for a quick graband-go between classes, the earlier you eat the better. The line starts getting longer and the list of ingredients that make up the burritos starts getting smaller. They tend to run out of most of their ingredients around 1 p.m. As the staff begins to run out ingredients for burritos, so does their patience, as does the patience of students wanting to order. Verde’s on-campus stand serves their freshly-made burritos outside of Saunders Hall. The types of burritos range from breakfast burritos to lunch burritos containing chicken, steak, al pastor, barbacoa, soyrizo and vegetarian fillings. For an extra charge, you can include guacamole and/or sour cream in your burrito as well. The lunch burritos come with rice, pinto beans, lettuce, salsa and pico de gallo. The chicken and steak burritos are by far the best, especially when you get them with the works (sour cream and guacamole). Add a little spice by getting the mango salsa in your burrito, and you won’t be disappointed. Both card and cash are accepted.

UH faculty member finds music ‘key’
Bichuan Li overcomes hardship of childhood, becomes world-renown pianist
ABBYGAIL SADOY STAFF WRITER
University of Hawai‘i Mānoa faculty member and pianist Bichuan Li has garnered reviews ranging from “flawless” and “superb” to “extraordinarily beautiful” from her performances around the world. After performing on four continents, the world-renowned musician has made it her mission to provide her students and aspiring musicians the same opportunity. BACKGROUND
Born and raised in Shanghai, China, Li came to Hawai‘i in 1982 in pursuit of a new life. Not knowing English, it took her four months to pass the required TOEFL test for international students. Two years after graduating with a master’s degree in piano performance, Li became part of the UH Mānoa music department faculty in 1986. “Teaching is always something that is a very rewarding experience,” Li said. In addition to being a lecturer, Li takes extra time out of her schedule for private one-on-one sessions. Some of her past students have been winners in numerous piano competitions. Li has devoted time as president of both the Honolulu Piano Teachers Association and Hawai‘i Music Teachers’ Association from 1998 to 2000. “It’s always good to do something to give back to the community,” she said. Despite being worried because of the language barrier, she and her colleagues gave concerts and brought international artists to perform in Hawai‘ i. THE HARDSHIPS
Despite a master’s degree and an impressive international résumé, Li never had the opportunity to attend middle school or high school. Because of the Cultural Revolution in China, there was not a school to attend.
The Cultural Revolution was a sociopolitical movement that took place from 1966 to 1976. China’s then-leader tried to enforce communism by eliminating capitalist, traditional and cultural elements from its society. School and music were among those elements. “That was the time they took away my piano, burned all the music; we were kicked out of our house, and we weren’t allowed to go to school,” Li said. “Life at that time wasn’t like ‘Are you able to play piano?’ it was ‘Can you survive?’” Eventually, the government allowed one child in a household to stay back. Being the oldest and only female child, Li was able to stay with her parents while her brothers worked in the countryside as farmers. In the city, she found a job as a cashier in a local restaurant. “This restaurant was like a low-class McDonald’s. Every day I started work at 4 a.m., for 10 hours,” Li said. Her dream for a better future never faltered. “I didn’t accept that fate. I thought to myself ‘If there’s any way to get out of this, I will try’.” TURNING POINT
The revolution eventually dissipated and the schools and universities were reopened. Even without a middle school or high school education, Li was able to apply to Shanghai Conservatory after the 10-year hiatus. Her application was denied again and again. “It was hard to get in. Think about it. Four-thousand people applied; they only accepted 32. Out of the 32, only three were pianists,” Li says. In 1978, she was accepted to Shanghai Teachers College (now Shanghai Normal University) with the highest scores. Her name was published in the newspaper. “That was one of the happiest times of my life because I thought ‘I’m finally out of that restaurant and now I can be a musician,’” Li said.

“I want to help music students, especially international music students, achieve education and achieve their dreams.” – BICHUAN LI UH MĀNOA FACULTY MEMBER AND PIANIST
With her fresh opportunity, Li knew she couldn’t take it for granted. She practiced about eight hours a day, even using candles in the evening to work. “We were eager to learn,” Li said. “We could finally sit in a classroom. Without having this for 10 years, and then realizing you can come back, it was really a dream come true.” She sought to take full advantage. “At that point I was like ‘I don’t have anything left, music is the only thing I still have,” Li said. After graduating from the university, her father wanted her to live to her highest potential. “He didn’t want us to have a lot of political problems. The govern-
ment kicked us out of our house and gave us little money for our whole family, with people threatening to put my father in jail,” Li said. Soon after graduating, her father took early retirement and asked his brothers and sisters in the U.S. to sponsor her and her brothers. She arrived in Hawai‘i in 1982, graduated with her masters in 1984 and became part of the faculty in 1986. LOOKING BACK AND LOOKING AHEAD
Today, Li teaches in the classroom and in the studio as well as giving live performances. She was able to keep her passion and discipline for her art, which she says is the key to her happiness. “I think maintaining the pas-
sion has given passion to my students because majority of my time is teaching now,” Li said. She knows discipline is key. “What I try to do is get up at 6 o’clock, so by 8, I already have two hours of practice,” Li said. Her greatest accomplishment, she says, can’t be measured. “When I think of myself of being a cashier and then to this point, it’s pretty amazing,” Li said. “I think that is my biggest accomplishment: I’m doing something I love to do. I’m never going to be real, real rich, I’m never going to be one of the dot com people. It’s something that I’m happy to do and something that I want to do for a long time.” Even though she’s come a long way, she feels she has more to do. “I think about how hard it was when I came through,” Li said. “I want to help music students, especially international music students, achieve their education and achieve their dreams.”

A HiBlend of healthy treats HiBlend defies the stereotype of tasteless health food while serving local products.
[ALL PHOTOS] KEN REYES / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
HiBlend is located on 661 Ke‘eaumoku St., Ste. 105 A. KEN REYES SENIOR STAFF WRITER
HiBlend Health Bar & Café may look like a hole in the wall, but just a sip or bite could leave one wondering why one ever thought that in the first place. Located in Samsung Plaza on Ke‘eaumoku Street, HiBlend was founded with a vision to promote healthy lifestyles by serving local and organic products to its customers. Your local hippie friend or health-conscious buddy may talk up any place that calls itself a health bar, but HiBlend is one such establishment worth visiting. MENU
HiBlend offers a wide array of fruit bowls, smoothies and drinks, alongside sandwiches, salads, wraps and coffees. While its products may tilt on the pricey edge, the fact that its ingredients are organic and/or locally grown compensates for the amount dished out. The Tropical Trip smoothie ($6.25), which consists of kale,
mango, pineapple, spinach and almond milk, is one of the crowd favorites. While the combination might sound too green for some, it is definitely what every smoothie afficionado must try. The smooth flavor of almond milk certainly complements the mango and pineapple, and the greens are surprisingly crisp without a taste of bitterness. While not as popular as Tropical Trip, the It’s All Berry smoothie ($6.25) rivals the greens with a suave, purple combination of cherries, blueberries, strawberries, apple juice and coconut milk. While the assortment of berries is not all that unique, the milk is what gives this drink a boost up the smoothie pedestal. For those who want to fill themselves up a bit more, the Dragon Bowl ($8.75) is a must-try. While açai has always been a more popular pick, the dragon fruit, also known as pitaya, delights the taste buds as well. While its taste is unique, it does feature your average açai-bowl toppings like straw-
berries, blueberries, kiwi, banana and honey. Don’t forget the toasted coconut shavings and granola, which add to its texture. It might be a pain in the wallet to dish out a crispy 10-dollar bill for this bowl, but its large portion size will leave you without any regrets. Even though HiBlend’s specialty lies in its drinks, its sandwiches bring about a satisfaction to lunch hunters around the area. The smoked salmon and bacon sandwich is served with cream cheese, red onions, tomatoes, butter avocado and spinach on unbleached sourdough bread with your choice of house dressing (Hint: The roasted garlic dressing is delicious.) alongside mixed greens with light balsamic dressing. Sounds overwhelming? Wait until you take a bite. The moistness of the salmon and the crispy texture of bacon complement their companions well, even if the sandwich may be a little creamy for some. HiBlend also serves health shots. The Zinger ($2.50), a concentrated blend of apples, lemon
RATING
and ginger, will leave your sinuses feeling clear without knocking you out with its flavor. AMBIANCE AND SERVICE
While HiBlend is a quaint, little shop that may not be seen by the average commuter, it has a way of making you feel at ease. The wooden textures in the shop add to the earthy ambiance and feel – rightfully so of a health bar. The most unique aspect of its atmosphere is the hanging mason jar lights, which gives the room a warm glow without too much glare. Its employees also contribute to that comfort a customer experiences in the shop. They are friendly and service-oriented. But just a fair warning to those in the lunch-hour rush, do not expect fast-food style service at HiBlend as each item on the menu takes time to craft and serve. But that has not really stopped anyone from enjoying HiBlend and what it has to offer to a growing community of health food lovers here on O‘ahu.

People may imagine a stadium full of testosterone when someone utters the words “football game,” but in reality a lot of ladies come out to support their team as well. For women, it can be a little more difficult to figure out what to wear for games because one does not wish to totally forgo her fashion sense. Here are easy tips that will help the ladies gear up for upcoming games and look cute. SOURCE: FREEPIK; ISTOCK; / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I SOURCE: BETAWORKS ONE

“Two Dots” is a game that will kill time while simultaneously giving your brain a workout. The simplicity alone gets any avid phone user hooked, along with its addictively fun gameplay. The goal of the game couldn’t be more straightforward. All the player has to do is collect the corresponding colors given at the beginning of the level with the given move set. To do so, slide your finger from one dot to another of the same color. The connection must be in the same row or column, so no diagonal moves are allowed. However, you can connect as many of the same color as possible. Also, if you reconnect to the line formed, say for instance a square, all dots of that color on the play board will disappear, giving you extra points. There are also power-ups that become extremely helpful when stuck. With only five lives given and a difficulty that gradually increases, players must choose their moves wisely. If all five lives are lost, it’s not the end of the word. A regeneration period of 20 minutes begins upon the loss of a life, forcing the player to wait before playing again. Adding to the overall experience, “Two Dots” is aesthetically pleasing, with subtle color pairings that balance one another. These color choices make the game pop out of the screen, resulting in eye candy to gorge upon. The serene instrumental music is another positive component, putting the mind in a state of relaxation despite the pressure caused by the game’s difficulty. In the end, “Two Dots” effortlessly strays away from other “time killers” by stretching the brain without sacrificing entertainment.

Once you buy your favorite University of Hawai‘ i T-shirt, you might cut it up. Do not destroy it, but customize it and make it your own by being creative with your cuts. If you have no experience with cutting T-shirts, then browsing through YouTube videos is a must. Practicing on an old shirt is always a good idea, just in case you make a mistake.
.
Many games are held during the day, which means you will get a little sweaty. Opting for your favorite pair of black or jean shorts is a smart idea. Wearing white shorts can also be an option, but if you decide to go that route you must be very careful to not get it dirty in the aisles of rowdy college students.
#4. COMFORT OVER EVERYTHING
#3. REMEMBER ‘A’ FOR ACCESSORIES .
.
Hair accessories are an effortless way to make an outfit appear more put together and feminine. Headbands can help aid in your fight against the heat while also keeping you looking good. In Hawai‘ i, the practice of putting a flower in one’s hair is slowly fading away, but it is time to bring it back. Rocking a flower behind the ear is a beautiful way to display your representation of Hawai‘ i and its island spirit. Remember that putting a flower behind the right ear means one is single and placing it on the left side signals that one is taken or married.
#5. NEVER LEAVE YOUR BAG Girls usually do not go anywhere without their purse in hand, even at sporting events. A tip to keep in mind when choosing the right bag is to make sure your bag is as small and easy to carry as possible. Crossbody bags are the perfect style because they do not need to be carried by hand and are harder to lose. A brown or black bag would be the perfect complement to one’s outfit.
#2. GO THE SHORT ROUTE
.
Go for comfort when it comes to footwear because you will be standing and walking around frequently. Sandals of any style will do because most people won’t even be paying attention to feet during a game. Do not wear a colored sandal such as blue or red, as it will clash with the university’s colors and make the outfit look unbalanced.
#6. FACE PAINT .
A girl can still wear makeup to a game, but the key is to not overload. Swiping on a coat of mascara and eyeliner is a great way to go because it will not look overdone. If you want to look a little more glamorous, add some neutral, toned eyeshadow. For a more festive feel, incorporating green eyeshadow to your eye makeup will increase spirit points. Do not cover your eyes in bright green shadow; just add a few touches of a dark green hue to the outer corners of the eye for a smoky look. These tips are a good starting point when gearing up for the upcoming games. There are no rules to dressing for a sports event; just remember to be comfortable and confident when showing your school pride.

Jonathon Franklin Hawaii Pacific University graduate, originally from Texas
You might have heard their symphonic sound drifting toward you as you ate your lunch in Campus Center, passed them on the streets of Waikiki performing original works or even got a chance to chat with them after a performance on stage. They are Streetlight Cadence, a quatro of Manoa and Hawaii Pacific University alumni who have found success in Hawaii and far beyond. The band has what every major group from the Beatles to Mumford and Sons has maintained: an incredible sound, an intense passion for what they do and an overflowing amount of boyish charm. The band consists of four members: Jonathon Franklin on violin and vocals, Jesse Shiroma on accordion, Brian Webb on cello, and Chaz Umamoto on guitar. Each is classically trained, though not all of them play the same instruments they started on. Shiroma originally played piano and Umamoto, Webb and Franklin all play the violin. Webb said his change from violin to cello was about finding the instrument that suited him best. “If I’m not the best I don’t want to be doing this. So then I switched over to cello,” he said. The boys laugh and joke amongst themselves like they’re the best of friends, and essentially, they are. It’s a familiarity surprising for a band whose memebers found each other on Craigslist. In 2009, Franklin received a scholarship to play in the Hawaii Pacific University symphony with a workstudy. Soon he found he had no money for food and needed a job with flexible hours. He began performing on the streets of Waikiki and, after several ups and downs, posted an ad on Craigslist for fellow musicians. “We have to clarify when we say we found them on Craigslist, it was in the musician section,” Shiroma laughs. They met Umamoto at an open mic night and Brian was a cellist in the HPU orchestra, they both soon joined. Nearly five years later, Streetlight Cadence stands before you. Over the summer, the band toured the East Coast of the United States, spreading their music along the way. The memories evoked from the trip seemed to be filled with nothing but excitement, satisfaction and complete appreciation. “It was a month-long joy ride,” Shiroma says who beams and laughs with almost every comment. “I think there is a misconception with bands that you go out on the
road and you fight a lot, which can be true, but surprisingly for us, we really don’t have those meltdown moments,” Umamoto said. The other band members agree and all in all it appears to have been a thoroughly enjoyable trip. Facebook fans were able to follow along with the excitement of the tour with almost daily updates. Funny photos of the band members, giving reasons why people should house them and heartfelt photos of band performances, allowed for their fan base to share the fun. There was even an incident in which their van caught on fire. Though it appeared to be a joke, the band assured me that it was a real event, saying, “We sprung up and threw all of our stuff out of the car.” The fatigue and long stretches of road seemed incomparable to the great time they had. As far as handling school along with band practice, it appeared to be less of a burden than one would suspect. “(It was) nice to have something, just this one thing, once a week, that was an escape from the grueling world I was immersed in, and I think music is the thing that actually got me through college,” Umamoto said. All four members graduated from college in recent years, and the ominous future and talk of signing with a label peppers the conversation. As far as signing goes, the band is quick to clarify their original intention. “That wasn’t our intention at first (to sign with a label), Franklin said. “We said let’s do it our own way, as far as we can … but it can only take us so far.” For those days when they really begin to question their life decisions, they turn to fan mail. Many of their fans are tourists who see the band perform on the streets of Waikiki. The band recalls emails that encourage them to continue playing, emails from fans saying that, despite paying money to see other famous artists in Hawaii, the free performance the band gave on the street was their favorite. The band generally doesn’t fear for the future. “We’re hoping for one day that it pays as much as all those jobs that we could’ve gotten with our degrees,” Franklin said. “A couple of us have already turned down real professions that pay $50,000 a year.

LAKALAKA CARRIES THE WORKLOAD
For the second consecutive game, Warriors running back Steven Lakalaka surpassed the 100 yard rushing mark, totaling 123 yards on 19 attempts for an average of 6.5 yards per carry. Through two games as the lead runner for the Rainbow Warriors, Lakalaka has averaged 4.8 yards per carry for 247 yards on the ground. Despite the success on the ground for the sophomore running back, he has scored one touchdown this season, which is a stark contrast to Joey Iosefa’s four touchdowns in the first two games before injury.
Consolation Prize
CLUNE’S DEFENSE STEPS UP IN SECOND HALF
The Rainbow Warrior defense stepped up in the second half against Colorado after conceding 14 points in the second quarter. Defensive coordinator Kevin Clune’s defense didn’t allow Colorado a single point in the entire second half, holding its opponent to 138 total yards of offense. Hawai‘i has lost its three matchups against Pac-12 opponents this year, but has only lost by a combined total of 18 points in those contests – including two second half shutouts against Washington and Colorado. In the second half of all three games against Pac-12 opponents, UH has only surrendered seven points to its opposition.

COLORADO BUFFALOES
QUARTERBACK CRISIS
SPECIAL TEAMS ARE ESSENTIAL
Warrior kicker Tyler Hadden had a career day against the Buffaloes, kicking four for four on field goal attempts to score all 12 points for his team. Hadden came up one field goal shy of the all-time UH record for most field goals in a game set by former kicker Reinhold Stuprich against Brigham Young on Sept. 14, 1974. Fresh off his Mountain West Special Teams Player of the Week award last week, UH punter Scott Harding had another successful day on special teams, punting nine times on Saturday including five punts that landed inside the opponents’ 20-yard line. Harding has now punted the ball a total of 34 times through four games this season for the Rainbow Warriors; an average of 8.5 times a game. If Harding continues at this
rate, he will set the all-time record for UH in punts attempted in a season (102) and for average punts per game (8.5).

RAINBOW WARRIORS
The University of Hawai‘i football team played its third Pac-12 team of the year Saturday afternoon against the Buffaloes of the University of Colorado. This signaled a record number of times in a single season that the Rainbow Warriors have faced off against Pac-12 competition. The last time the Warriors travelled to Boulder, Colorado to face off against the Buffaloes was in 2010 – where UH fell 38-13. The Warriors did have the historical advantage against the Buffaloes going into Saturday’s fixture, winning the last matchup in 2011 at Aloha Stadium 34-17. Hawai‘i’s alltime record against Colorado was 2-1 before Saturday’s 21-12 loss. The Warriors have struggled on the road under the reign of head coach Norm Chow, losing all 13 road games during his tenure at UH. However, the Warriors haven’t just struggled away from Aloha Stadium under Chow. They have lost 15 consecutive road games dating back to 2012 when former head coach Greg McMackin led the Warriors to a 6-7 record. Since UH began scheduling non-conference road games each season back in 2002, the Warriors have limped to a 3-15 record, recording its only wins at UNLV (2007), Washington State (2009) and Army (2010).
subpar play, completing 10 for 24 passes for 64 yards before he was pulled during the halftime interval for Higgins, whose first pass of the game went for 32 yards. Higgins could not build off the early success he experienced in his first drive, finishing the game with 66 yards on 4 for 17 passing before fracturing his right hand. The injury made way for Ohio State transfer Taylor Graham to make his season debut. Graham threw for 25 yards on 3 for 5 passing, including an interception late in the fourth quarter that sealed the Warrior’s fate. Combined, the three quarterbacks threw for 135 yards on 17 for 46 passing, for a completion percentage of 36.9 percent. Through four games this season, Hawai‘ i quarterbacks have thrown for just one touchdown pass, coming from Woolsey last week against Northern Iowa.

WEEKLY ROUNDUP
Nick Huth Sports Editor
WOMEN’S SOCCER
The following is a collection of University of Hawai‘i athletic events from Sept. 14-Sept. 19.
The Wahine dropped their first game of the week after a two-goal lead wasn’t enough on the road against Idaho State. Hawai‘ i’s early lead wasn’t sufficient in the 5-4 shootout that saw both teams combine to take 35 shots. The four goals from the Wahine were the highest in a game this season. The offense continued later in the week as a strong defensive performance allowed Hawai‘ i to top Eastern Washington 3-1. Hawai‘ i allowed just six shots from its opponent, compared to the 18 shots that they allowed against Idaho State. Storm Kenui scored her fourth goal of the season to give her the most goals scored this year for UH.
MEN’S TENNIS Carter Lam and Nils Schuhmann won on the final day of the Napa Invitational over Pacific University in the team’s first action of the preseason last week. The senior duo was the only winning group from Hawai‘ i on the weekend, as they dropped all singles matches against Pacific foes on Sept. 14.
WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL The Rainbow Wahine defeated the University of San Francisco in four sets last Sunday before dropping an exhibition match to the Japanese professional team, Toyota Auto Body on Wednesday. In its first week as an unranked team since 1992, Hawai‘ i dropped its first set against USF before rallying for the victory. After the USF game, Olivia Magill and Sarah Mendoza were named to the AllTournament team in the Outrigger Resorts Volleyball Challenge.
SWIMMING Hawai‘i athlete-coach duo Jasmine Alkhadi and Jennifer Buffin are set to go to South Korea with the Philippine national team to compete in the 2014 Asian Games. Alkhadi will be swimming in the fly and freestyle events at multiple distances, as her qualification campaign for the 2015 FINA World Championships begins. This is the junior’s second appearance at the Asian Games after her recordbreaking performance for the Philippines in 2010
MEN’S BASKETBALL WOMEN’S GOLF
The Hawai‘i men’s basketball team announced its final schedule, including an appearance in the Gulf Coast Showcase on Thanksgiving weekend. This is the first time in 20 years that the Warriors will play on the East Coast. In the second year of the tournament, Hawai‘i is one of five competing teams that won 20 games last season. The appearance was announced after Washington State and Hawai‘ i cancelled their scheduled meeting this season. The other two preseason tournaments the Warriors will play in are set to take place in Hawai‘ i.
NICK HUTH SPORTS EDITOR
Izzy Leung continued her follow-up to her record-breaking freshman season by winning the Oregon State Invitational by three strokes last week. Despite leading the Wahine in every tournament as a freshman, the win at the Trysting Tree Golf Club was the first in her collegiate career. Leung took the lead on the first day with a 5-under 67 and held her lead for the rest of the tournament. SOURCE: SHANE GRACE / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I; FILE PHOTO / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I [2]; UH MEDIA RELATIONS

Aussie rules: from Australian to American football, Scott Harding is one interesting punter
FILE PHOTO / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
Harding was drafted by the Brisbane Lions in the Australian Football League in 2005. DENNIS PALMA CASTILLO CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Although he’s from “The Land Down-Under,” Scott Harding is not one who’s flown under the radar. As senior captain on the University of Hawai‘i’s football team, Harding has been a standout player whose versatility has earned him a lot of time on the field playing various positions. As a punter, wide receiver and punt returner, Harding has a broad range of football skills. His versatility is so well-known that even opposing coaches have taken notice. Ahead of the Week 4 matchup with the Warriors, the University of Colorado head coach chose to take the time to talk about Harding in a pregame press conference. “One thing I’ve never seen before in college football, and I don’t know if you all have ever seen it before, their punter, Scott Harding is also their punt returner,” Mike MacIntyre said. “He also plays receiver. So, that’s a very intriguing story for me to see that.” Despite the attention, one wouldn’t have guessed that UH’s versatile star was just selected as the Mountain West Special Teams Player of the Week while also
being one of five players selected this week to the Paul Hornung Award watch list. His humility is a reflection of a mindset that puts team success ahead of his own. “It feels good,” Harding said after earning the award. “It’s a good individual honor I guess, but we won which is the main thing. I’m glad the team was able to pull together and get our first win at home.” His mentality and desire to win is a sentiment not only reflected by him but also a feeling that is respected
“He (Harding) works hard. He’s one of the older guys so he knows what it takes to get the job done. … We’re happy to have him. He plays everywhere on the field so a guy that’s so versatile and has knowledge of the game, we couldn’t ask for anything more,” Stevenson said. Part of Harding’s maturity is a result of being one of the oldest athletes on the team. His route to becoming a UH student was unconventional. After graduating from high school, Harding played
“He’s mature, he can handle pressure, he’s very accountable and dependable.” – CHRIS DEMAREST SPECIAL TEAMS COORDINATOR
and embraced by his coach. “He’s mature, he can handle pressure, he’s very accountable and dependable, (and) is very important to me as a special teams player,” special teams coordinator Chris Demarest said. One player that is tasked with defending Harding in practice, Taz Stevenson, appreciates what Harding does for the team – despite not working with him during the games.
in the Australian Football League for six seasons, and the skills he learned as a rugby player translated well into American football. “Catching, and obviously the punting, that’s why I’m able to punt the way I do, and just the commitment and the discipline … to be able to lead the team,” Harding said. Along with his maturity is an understanding of what he needs to work on to become a better player and leader. He’s a good example
to others because he has a strong work ethic, according to teammates. Harding says that during practices he likes to “try and work on every skill … whether it’s route running, catching punts, or kicking.” Being an athlete is only one aspect of Harding’s dynamic life. Harding isn’t only a hardworker on the field but in the classroom as well. The senior captain is a business major with an emphasis in entrepreneurship. Once his playing days are over, he hopes to one day run an organization. Balancing school and athletics is no easy task but he manages to do both while maintaining a 3.0 GPA. Harding hopes to be one of a few other trailblazers who encourage other Australians to come play football here in Hawai‘ i. “When I got here, there was Alex Dunnachie and another lineman so hopefully UH can start a pipeline to Australia,” Harding said. Between football and school, Harding likes to spend his free time at the golf course and on occasion, in Waikīkī. As an example of how he’s embraced the Hawaiian lifestyle, his favorite local food is spicy ahi poke bowls. “I love ‘em and can eat it every day,” he said.

Kalei Adolpho on playing two sports and having family as an inspiration ANDREW SWITAJ STAFF WRITER
Kalei Adolpho’s hitting attack has been dubbed the “Moloka‘i slide” for its ability to electrify the crowd in dire situations. However, her play style is not the only thing that separates her from other players. As many college students come to realize, time is a fleeting resource. Somehow, there never seems to be enough hours in the day to balance school work, employment and social obligations. As a dual-athlete in both Wahine volleyball and basketball, Adolpho knows the importance of time management as it pertains to both her studies, and her participation in University of Hawai‘i athletics. “Sometimes there is not enough time,” said Adolpho about the obligations in her life. “(But) you don’t get better unless you put in work, and work takes energy, and energy takes time.” Her obligations as both a volleyball and basketball player can be difficult, but her coach is aware of the life Adolpho leads. “She’s been a two-sport athlete for three years and it’s been frustrating not having her full-time but she’s a great player to coach. She works hard, plays hard. She’s a nice kid,” head coach Dave Shoji said.
