Higher fees: low priority for athletics Student attendance, enthusiasm lacking PAIGE TAKEYA AND A LEX BIT TER Senior Staff Writer and City Desk Editor When Travis Fallon was a University of Hawai‘i student in 2009, the idea of a student athletic fee wasn’t popular. Though athletics department officials floated the $50 a semester fee as a way to balance the athletic department’s budget and give students free access to games, the then-vice president of the associated students of the University of Hawai‘i saw little enthusiasm among his peers for the idea. “There was no student support to speak of,” he said. Now, as UH officials look at increasing that fee to close another budget gap, students are still apathetic about the fee and UH athletics in general, according to student attendance figures and those trying to attract students to games. In addition, some of Mā noa’s top administrators say hiking how much students contribute to athletics is low on their list of fi xes for lower campus’ fi nancial woes, behind options like increasing private donations and revenue from UH merchandise.

ʻE V E RY T H I N G I S O N T H E TA B L E ʼ Currently, M ā noa’s student athletics fee brings in about $1.4 million each year, according to UH M ā noa Chancellor, Tom Apple. Even with that revenue, the department is expected to fall short this year by $1.9 million — a deﬁ cit that would require an increase greater than double the current fee. Apple said such an increase isn’t the best way to close the gap, adding that he thinks it would be “extremely unpopular” among students. “But we should always look at it (and) look at how it is in comparison with other schools,” he said, referring to UH’s peer universities in the Mountain West and Big West athletic conferences, many of which have more expensive athletic fees than UH. Finding other sources of new income should continue to be the department’s priority — especially through fundraising and merchandising — with raising the student fee ranking as one of the lowest priorities, he said.

Getting more revenue from outside of the university is apt, he said, since athletics functions as UH’s connection to the rest of the state. “It’s more important to the community than it is to the student body,” he said. “I don’t think the student fee should be increased unless all the other sources are (exhausted).” But soliciting new donations may be tough: Total athletic fundraising has taken a hit during the last year and a half, going from just under $6.5 million in ﬁscal year 2012 to around $4.3 million in 2013, according to the UH Foundation’s two most recent annual reports. That trend is something the athletics department is working to reverse, according to UH Athletics Director, Ben Jay. He said the department is working with the UH

“We do the discoveries that help save lives, or help save the oceans or help save the beaches,” Apple said. “But athletics? It doesn’t rise to those levels, but it’s still important.” – TOM APPLE

Foundation and the university’s athletic fundraising organization, Ahahui Koa Anuenue, to meet with more potential donors around the state. Many of the people the three entities are targeting have never been approached by UH athletics before, but are willing to consider a gift, he said. “The comment I see and hear all the time in our ﬁ rst meetings (with new donors) is ‘We’ve just never been asked,’” he said. Jay said the department is also scheduled to take direct charge of UH’s athletic merchandising rights this summer, a move that he hopes will bring in an extra $500,000 to athletics that formerly went to UH’s general account. Although he said signiﬁcant cuts to the program would affect students and the range of sports offered at the university, the athletics director said he will ask individual programs to give unused funds back to the department this year.

“We are keeping our expenses low and (trytry ing) to generate as much as we can,” he said. “We’re looking for that positive cash ﬂ ow.” He also disagreed with Apple about the athletic fee’s reception among students. “(Athletics) is an important part of student life here,” he said.

FOSTERING STUDENT INTEREST When UH’s Board of Regents approved the athletic fee in July 2010, Mā noa’s administrators described it as an opportunity to increase students’ engagement with the university’s athletics teams. “The goal of this investment is for our students to beneﬁt from a strong, visible sports program that magniﬁes UH Mā noa’s image, along with encouraging greater student participation in athletic events,” then-Chancellor Virginia Henshaw said in a press release after the BOR’s vote. Vance Nagata, chairman of the Mānoa Maniacs, said his group has been working to do just that. He said the group, which plans and hosts activities at athletic events to encourage students to come, has seen modest year-to-year gains in student attendance for certain sports in recent years. The Maniacs also receive part of the 8 percent of the athletic fee set aside for student activities, according to the Student Athletic Fee Committee website. Nagata said UH doesn’t have the same dedicated fan base that mainland universities do because Hawai‘i offers students more year-round outdoor and athletic activities — making it less attractive to sit and watch a game. “You could go to the beach, go hiking,” he said. “There are a lot more opportunities here.” But he said the university does have the potential to catch up with its continental counterparts and that the funding provided by the student fee can help. Meanwhile, Apple said UH’s sports are a key part of the university and that funding them will remain ain a priority. p “We do the discoveries that help p save lives, live or help save the oceans or help save the beaches,” beaches Apple said. “But athletics? It doesn’t rise to those levels, but it’s still important.” rtant.”

6 ways athletics plans to fix the deficit

ANALYS I S

FOREC A S T

WHAT

Both Chancellor Tom Apple and Athletics Director Ben Jay are looking at different strategies to make the athletics department break even. With an almost $2 million deﬁ cit looming, these are the options on the table.

DII

TICKETS

STUDENTS FEE

“We’re revenue starved,” Jay said. UH is looking to get more lucrative TV, print and radio partnerships and renegotiate with Aloha Stadium. The department also gets full control of its merchandising efforts as of July 1.

One of the biggest revenue generators for the university is ticket sales. If football games managed to ﬁ ll 40,000 seats, the department would be “easily in the black,” according to Apple.

The $50 per semester student fee among the lowest in the country brings in $1.4 million for the department each semester, according to Apple and Jay. If the fee were increased to balance the current budget, it would have to more than double.

“The absolute doomsday scenario,” according to Apple, is a drop to Division II. Jay said that DII “makes absolutely no sense.”

Some of the school’s 21 sports may be at risk if cuts continue – particularly because Division I only requires schools maintain 14 men’s and women’s teams. Due to Title IX compliance, Jay suggested as many as 100 student-athletes could lose opportunities if the program shrinks.

One big Rainbowtique store is planned for Ward Center to serve as a convenient central location for UH gear. Jay foresees a larger selection and is hoping to see $500,000 net revenue in the ﬁ rst year.

Jay said that football is hampered by recruiting difficulties due to mediocre facilities. “If we’re successful in being able to get kids here and being able to recruit them, we can turn the football program around.”

Both Apple and Jay insisted that the student fee increase – while a possibility – is not one that anyone wants to see happen. Still, it remains on the table as a possible steady revenue stream.

Jay ruled it out as a possibility entirely, saying that UH would lose all the broadcasting beneﬁts of Division I while still maintaining travel and scholarship costs.

The department is trying to avoid heavier cuts by asking each team to cut budgets by 5-10 percent for the rest of the ﬁscal year. The budget may be as lean as it can get via cuts.

These are all deals that will be boons to the university, though they are dependent on corporate and community interest (and dollars) to truly be successful.

“That would be the best solution: a team that’s winning enough or exciting enough that we get bodies in the seats,” Apple said. Both men acknowledged, however, that fans won’t be persuaded unless the ‘W’s start coming in.

Raising the athletics fee only requires getting approval from the Board of Regents and holding hearings with other campus entities like the University of Hawai‘i and the Graduate Student Organization – though it would be unpopular with students, who protested the initial fee in 2010.

“I don’t believe the community would let that happen,” Apple said.

F U N D R AI S I N G

CUTS

Jay said the memorandum of understanding has been changed, meaning ‘Ahahui Koa A nuenue and other entities can expand different fundraising options. Of course, Apple points out: “In some cases, believe it or not, it’s just actually going around to ask.”

Both Apple and Jay claim that the depar tment has whittled costs down as much as possible to get the deficit as low as it is – any fur ther, and both University of Hawai‘i’s competitiveness and its student-athletes will be af fected.

UH is pursuing fundraising in earnest: Jay said 70 appointments with potential donors have been scheduled.

Big donations could keep the program aﬂ oat – if UH can make the sale. Individual philanthropists will be at the top of UH’s list.

THE PIG & THE LADY: Vietnamese food with a modern twist TONI WONG Contributing Writer The Pig & The Lady has been the talk of the town, and it’s no surprise why. Chef Andrew Le’s food is delicious, well-balanced and imaginative. Set in the heart of Honolulu’s Chinatown, The Pig & The Lady serves Vietnamese-inspired food with a modern twist for brunch (on Saturdays), lunch and dinner. Their signature dishes include Pho French Dip Banh Mi made with brisket that is slow cooked for 12 hours and a Thai basil chimichurri with dipping sauce. Their famous pho is also something to behold, having a deeply ﬂ avorful broth, which has a bit of heat, and homemade rice noodles. Occasionally, The Pig & The Lady also offers a special coursed menu, which is a great way to experience a wide range of dishes. For example, they offered a special Valentine’s Day six-course meal featuring foods both on and off their regular

menu, plus the option of drink pairings for each course. Those who seized this opportunity were treated to wonderful dishes including their charcoal-grilled pork belly topped with a fresh oyster in a tomato-yuzu water, Hamachi sashimi with fennel salad and a kaffir lime sauce, f luffy tofu fritters with a curry of fresh sprouts paired with roasted broccolini, and hand-cut noodles swimming in smoked bacon pho. For dessert, there was butter fried Coffee-Can Bread with chocolate gelato, kaya and fig jam, and fresh tarragon leaves. Each course was beautifully arranged and a feast for the eyes as well as the mouth. The Pig & The Lady serves a variety of crafted cocktails, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. The Lift cocktail consisting of rye whiskey, apricot and keawe smoke is especially enjoyable. The Golden Pig, which consists of champagne and fresh herbs over crushed ice, was also delightful. Recently, The Pig & The

Lady started serving brunch on Saturdays with a menu of dishes and refreshments just as enticing as their regular lunch and dinner menus. Their brunch fare includes both sweet and savory Dutch pancakes and their take on steak and eggs. Another favorite is the Egg PigMuffin, a playful dish consisting of a slow-poached egg in a savory muffin with bacon, onion and date jam. If you haven’t paid a visit to the The Pig & The Lady, be sure to put it on your list of places to eat. From their dramatic decor to their great service, everything about The Pig & The Lady is fresh and exciting. Rating:

HAWAI’I REVIEW STUDENT OF THE MONTH TA K E MO T O C A P T U RE S T H E E S S E N C E O F C H I L D H OO D I N JA PA N E S E T E M PL E M E MO I R S

COURTESY OF ELLEN TAKEMOTO

“Adding photography to lifewriting constructs an illustrative grammar that can bring about meaning,” Ellen Takemoto said. BR AD DELL Features Editor

Ellen Takemoto captured the eye of Hawai‘i Review with a piece titled “Ancient Stepping Stones,” an essay about childhood life in and around a temple that holds a plethora of significant memories. The autobiographical story has earned her the Hawai‘i Review Student of the Month award for February.

THE PERSON

Raised in Honolulu, Takemoto spent 25 years as an advocate for abused and neglected children, and is now working toward a master’s degree in public administration, as well as a certiﬁcate in management and humanitarian assistance in the department of urban and regional planning. “She is a caring mother, a practitioner of Japanese tea ceremony, and a musician, highly skilled with the traditional Japanese f lute, the shakubachi,” said Madoka Nagado, a Ph.D. student in English and Takemoto’s tutor at the University of Hawai‘i Writing Center. “She holds a black belt in judo and practices kendo. In what spare time she has, she energetically dedicates to volunteering in her community.”

THE WRITER Takemoto wasn’t chosen as Student of the Month for her activism or hobbies, , but rather for her ability as a writer. “Her writing immediately stood out to me for its poetic quality and rhythmic expressiveness.” Madoka said. Initially writing in Japanese earlier in life, Takemoto transitioned to English writing, speciﬁ cally poetry, during a harrowing point in her high-school years.

Her writing immediately stood out to me for its poetic quality and rhythmic expressiveness. – MADOKA NAGADO

“I’d write when it was quietest at night, but that was when my father got sick and his coughing made me stay up longer, and I worried about my mother’s health,” she said. “My father died by the time I was 16.” Takemoto finds herself most comfortable writing life stories. “Usually people ask me to write for them,” she said. “It’s a responsibility when you have to write about other people. I want to celebrate their lives. I want to bring out the best in them, but some-

times the best is the hardships. I enjoy having the responsibility and honor to be asked to write (about them).” Having listened to the stories of her mother and other who survived the explosion of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima, Takemoto said she would like to take on a future project that pays tribute to the tragedy. “As an offspring of a Hiroshima survivor, I also feel compelled to possibly write a ﬁctional account of the experience,” she said. “Although I was not born in that era, I was bonded to it by birth and inherited a ‘duty’ to correct the unspeakable man-made tragedy so that it never happens again.” Wanting to improve her writing skills, Takemoto found sanctuary in the UH Writing Center. Having grown up speaking Japanese and Pidgin, she previously felt unconfident in her writing. “(The UH Writing Center) really supports me and builds me up,” she said. “I think writing is what makes people succeed.” Nagado was the one who insisted that Takemoto submit her writing to Hawai‘i Review. Nagado said, “During one of our meetings, I found myself holding a copy of Hawai‘i Review, asking, ‘Ellen-san, do you know this? Why don’t you submit?’”

T H E S T O RY Takemoto’s Hawai‘i Review piece is a “reﬂective essay about growing up at a Japanese temple situated next to the Nuuanu stream.” “It touches upon how a deeper introspection can occur with the social constructs that blend together in Hawai‘i,” Takemoto said. The essay takes on an epic tone, as it draws from a range of years in her life, reﬂecting both on euphoria and loss in the life of a child. Takemoto said those years were her favorite. “It was the best time in my life, where I was up to all kinds of antics,” she said. The piece goes deeper than just storytelling, though, as it serves to provide commentary on culture. “It is a story of cultural exploration with features of how meaningful insight develops from the interactions that cut across from all generations, in both human time and sacred space,” she said. Takemoto wished to thank Nagado for her part in her success.

Keeping up with asuh

Gain skills in reading, writing, editing and communication. K RISTEN PAUL BONIFACIO Associate Opinions Editor During the general meeting held on Jan 29, the committee came to a consensus of supporting a moratorium on resident tuition increase at the University of Hawai‘i at M ā noa for the 2014-15 academic school year. This bill will temporarily freeze the tuition and allow the university to find alternative measures to fund education. There has been a growing concern about the access to higher education on the islands since the cost of tuition at UH has increased by 108 percent from 2006 -12. Enrollment last semester also dropped substantially compared to the previous year. Student Alexandra Roth testiﬁed at the meeting, saying, “If we have students who are dropping out because of tuition hikes or just because they can’t pay the tuition as it is now, I don’t think increasing the tuition is really going to make a positive impact on increasing our attendance and retention rates.”

Triumph over racism: the fight toward unity A MANDA BEATY Contributing Writer Most strive to be unique, to stand out from their peers and to make a difference. Yet, too often people condemn differences in others rather than celebrate what sets all of us apart.

HAVE WE NOT LEARNED YET? Racism and prejudices sprout from cultural differences. If I was raised in a different country, my customs and cultural background would be strikingly dissimilar to my customs now, and the culture I carry would have nothing to do with my skin color. So why isn’t skin color, one of the largest contributing factors in racism, viewed as any other physical attribute? Judging someone prematurely based on the color of their skin is just as absurd as judging by hair and eye color; incidentally, the world agrees it was unacceptable when a major leader in a world war measured people by their physical appearance 70 years ago.

PICTURE PERFECT HAWAI'I Every corner of the world suffers from racism, even the culturally mixed Aloha State. The controversy and tension surrounding “ha‘oles” and many other ethnic groups, including Hawaiians, is shocking. "Racism is the saddest thing that we have to deal with in this century,” said Moani, a Native Hawaiian and junior at University of Hawai‘i at M ā noa. Moani also revealed that from kindergarten to third grade, she attended a school primarily comprised of military children who made fun of her because she was “darker than them and had a bigger nose.” Racism affects Hawaiians and other ethnicities in Hawai‘i. To move beyond racism, communities around the world must stop the hate crimes, stop the teaching of racism and prejudice and start working together.

WHY? Take the opportunity to look at the prejudices and negative opinions you may have and ask yourself, “Why? Why do I have this attitude?” Racism and prejudices are formed through personal encounters and stereotypes, and they are a learned state-of-mind. Tanner Takata, a senior at UH, shares an openminded view on the delicate subject and believes everyone “know(s) what’s right and what’s wrong. … You shouldn’t pinpoint people for who they are.” He also said that he personally does not experience racism because of the large Asian population residing in Hawai‘i, but witnesses many ethnicities experiencing discrimination. “I don’t think it’s ever going to stop,” he said.

WORDS OF WISDOM The problem begins with prejudiced thoughts, which then results in treating others poorly based on those prejudiced thoughts. We need to change not only the way we think, but also how we act out toward others. Gandhi taught, “Carefully watch your thoughts, for they become your words. Manage and watch your words, for they will become your actions. Consider and judge your actions, for they have become your habits. Acknowledge and watch your habits, for they shall become your values. Understand and embrace your values, for they become your destiny.”

WORKING TOGETHER We have the power to change, and it begins with each individual to be a better example for the community and ultimately for the world. It’s time we work together as a state, as a nation and as a global community to see beyond the external appearances and overcome the preconceived notions about people. We can rise above the hate, the prejudice and the injustice for a more harmonious world.

A small dose

of excellence

one of hawai‘i’s smallest players becomes one of its biggest contributors Senior outfielder Kalei Hanawahine batted .357 with seven runs scored in the team's four-game sweep of Albany. SHANE GRACE KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

JEREMY NIT TA Senior Staff Writer @NIT TA _ JEREMY

Senior outfielder Kalei Hanawahine is not your average baseball player. It’s not just because he stands 5-foot-8 with thick shoes on, or that he often bats in a spot normally reserved for the biggest, strongest hitters on a team. Or even that he took a roundabout path to play in front of his home crowd at the Les Murakami Stadium. Hawai‘i’s starting right fielder has been making a name for himself ever since he first stepped on the baseball diamond, and in more ways than you may think.

T H E R E A N D BAC K AGA I N Coming out of Kamehameha Schools-Kapalama in 2009, Hanawahine was one of the best baseball players in Hawai‘i, claiming ﬁrst team All-State honors as a senior. But Hanawahine committed to San Diego early, and therefore was not heavily pursued by his hometown school.

Hanawahine played two seasons for the Toreros, but his love for Hawai‘i drew him back to the Aloha State, leading him to reach out to Hawai‘i baseball coach Mike Trapasso. “Coming back here, it was really a baseball decision too,” Hanawahine said. “I knew Coach Trap from back in high school, when he was recruiting. We had a bit of a relationship already, and he just said to come out and join the team. I had to sit out that ﬁ rst year, but I still was able to be a part of the team and work out with them.” Trapasso said that bringing the young outfielder on board was a bit against the norm, but he was willing to make an exception for Hanawahine. “Normally, we aren’t interested in the transfers that have to sit out for a year,” Trapasso said. “But in Kalei’s situation, it started with us knowing who he was as a person. We knew he was the type of young man that we wanted in our program, and right now we are really glad to have him.”

A N A B S O L U T E J OY When asked to describe Hanawahine, several terms often come up among peers and coaches, including character, hard work and leader. “It’s not just words, when we talk about how someone is as a person,” Trapasso said. “There really is meaning behind it, especially in the case of Kalei. Things like character, and toughness, and maturity. He’s a high-motor guy, and he’s always playing hard and really intense. He is one of those guys who plays the game the right way. He’s one of my favorite players that I’ve ever coached. He’s been an absolute joy to coach.” Hanawahine has been one of the more consistent hitters for the Rainbow Warriors, bringing versatility to the lineup. Hanawahine has hit all over the lineup in his two years at UH, batting everywhere from leadoff to last during the course of his career. “He’s a guy you can hit anywhere in the lineup, and that’s what is really good about Kalei,” Trapas-

so said. “He can hit in the middle of the order and be a run-producer, or he can hit leadoff and be a tablesetter. That is a really valuable guy to have, and going forward, it will be fun to watch him play.”

H OM E I S W H E R E T H E HEART IS Despite losing his starting job midway through last season, Hanawahine worked hard to earn his way back into the lineup. “Coming back, I wanted to come out and represent my friends and family coming out to watch me play,” Hanawahine said. “I gotta give them all the credit for helping me through all my struggles. I’m just glad that I was able to do well for all the fans here supporting.” Trapasso points to Hanawahine’s work ethic as a driving force to his success. “He was one of the guys who actually showed consistency, and then he got better as the year went on,” Trapasso said. “At the end of the year, he was one of our best hitters.

This year as a full-time starter, we had our question of if he could hit the left-handed pitchers. But he’s stayed strong against them, and that speaks to his work ethic and maturity. He wants to be out there, and he’s been working to stay there.” But for Hanawahine, the experience of a dream achieved has meant more to him than any statistics he could ever collect. “I grew up watching the ‘Bows and coming to games as a kid,” Hanawahine said. “It was definitely the dream, like it is with all kids. Growing up, I wanted to be able to play baseball here, put on the uniform and play for UH. Coming back has been completely worth it. There’s nothing that compares to playing in front of this crowd. “Just having my family here is what makes it special. Up in San Diego, they were able to f ly up to see a couple of series, but for them to be able to watch me here every week has been the best experience of my career.”
