Storm causes wastewater spill There has been a 5,000 gallon sanitary sewer overflow from the Sand Island Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP), Honolulu City Department Environmental Services reported. Due to the heavy rains, it has overloaded a manhole connected to one of the main odor-controlling systems. It has sent thousands of gallons of uncompleted treated wastewater into a storm drain that drains into the Honolulu Harbor. The Department of Health has been notified and stopped water sampling due to the water. Signs will be posted Monday morning. SOURCE: HAWAII NEWS NOW

US DOE awards UHWO $14M UH West O‘ahu received $14.2 million in Title III funding from the Federal Department of Education to construct Native Hawaiian health and wellness facilities. The money from this grant is also to be used to further Native Hawai-

Ten million dollars is for the PIKO Renovation Project, which consists of building health and wellness facilities and programs that integrate Native Hawaiian values of well-being. The rest of the money will be given to the campus over a five-year period for the development of a PUEO Scholars Program that’s aimed at increasing the graduation and retention rates of Native Hawaiians.

Scientists fear Hurricane Ana’s impact on Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Hurricane Ana may have damaged isolated Northwestern Hawaiian Islands and the marine life that occupy them, according to Hawai‘ i scientists. Randy Kosaki, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration deputy superintendent of the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument, said that since these islands are very low, a big storm could possibly wash over these islands completely. Turtles are also dependent on these low islands because they use the islands as a nesting habitat. Kosaki also said that the coral reefs in the area of these islands may have been damaged due to the storm surf. Kosaki and his team are planning a trip to examine the area, but won’t be able to visit most of the islands until 2015. SOURCE: HAWAII NEWS NOW

Ottawa shooting suspect connected to jihadists in Canada The suspect in Wednesday’s Ottawa shootings, Quebec native Michael Zehaf-Bibeau is reported to have connections to jihadists in Canada. These connections also share a radical Islamic ideology, as at least one has gone overseas to fight in Syria. U.S. officials said Zehaf-Bibeau is a convert of Islam and was connected to Hasibullah Yusufzai through social media. Yusufzai is
wanted in Canada for traveling overseas to fight with Islamist fighters in Syria. Zehaf-Bibeau is believed to still have connections to other radicalized people living in Canada, according to two U.S. law enforcement officials. SOURCE: CNN
November General Election to determine mandatory retirement age for judges Voters will decide on a constitutional amendment that would increase the mandatory retirement age for judges in Hawai‘ i from 70 to 80 in this year’s November General Election. The current mandatory retirement age for judges in Hawai‘ i, including justices of the state Supreme Court is 70. This requirement has been in place since statehood in 1959. A similar constitutional amendment failed in 2006, and would have completely abolished a mandatory retirement age. SOURCE: HAWAII NEWS NOW

Ebola vaccine trials to begin as early as December Ebola vaccine trials could begin in West Africa in December, public health authorities said Friday, and could know by April whether the vaccine is effective or not. According to Marie-Paule Keiny of the World Health Organization, the trials in December would be a month earlier than originally planned. At least five other vaccines could enter human testing in the first few months of 2015. Participants in the trial would include health care workers in high risk areas, while a trial in Liberia would include others at high risk, like burial workers or family members caring for Ebola patients.

DOH confirms three new cases of measles in Hawai‘i
Three new cases of measles have been confirmed by the Hawai‘ i State Department of Health (DOH). One case was reported on Maui and two on Kaua‘i. The cases have no relation to each other, but all cases are unvaccinated young adults with recent travels to the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there has been 594 cases of measles reported in 22 states since January. Two of these cases were reported in Hawai‘ i in February, making a total of five confirmed cases in the state this year. SOURCE: HAWAII NEWS NOW
Ocean debris discovered on Kaua‘ i reveal possibility of mammoth tsunami risk
Massive marine debris discovered in a sinkhole on the island of Kaua‘i revealed that there has been at least one mammoth tsunami that struck the islands about 500 years ago, and that another could happen again. According to scientists led by Rhett Butler, director of the Hawai‘i Institute of Geophysics and Planetology (HIGP) at UH Mānoa, a wall of water up to nine meters (30 feet) high surged onto Hawaiian shores almost half a century ago. The massive tsunami was caused by a 9.0 magnitude earthquake off the coast of the Aleutian Islands. The new study examined deposits believed to have come from the extreme event using models to show how it might have occurred. SOURCE: UH NEWS

KCC newspaper resumes with new format Journalism class produces the content ABBYGAIL SADOY STAFF WRITER
After concluding the print production of its school newspaper, the Board of Student Publications (BOSP) of Kapi‘ōlani Community College (KCC) is revamping its student media instruction and publication with its online newspaper website “Kapi‘o Voices and Views.” “The Kapi‘o has been online since 2009-2010,” KCC BOSP chairman Dennis Kawaharada said in an email interview. “At that time, the journalism instructor thought that the future of news was online and that the college should begin phasing out print and publishing the news only online.” At the end of spring 2014, Kapi‘o published its last print issue due to low readership, according to Kawaharada. Printing costs for the newspaper were not justified as evidenced by the amount of copies left on newsstands around campus. In addition, KCC no longer offers JOUR 285, a course in which students were able to receive training in print production. According to Kawaharada, the course was last offered in fall 2008. CHANGES
Prior to this summer, Kawaharada asked Honolulu Star-Ad-
vertiser reporter and columnist Michael Tsai to teach JOUR 227, a publication-writing course. The biggest change from last semester is how its content is produced. Content for the website is provided by students, but all content will be curated by faculty and staff. “We agreed that the class would be used to provide introductory newswriting training,” Tsai said in an email interview. “My primary
He added that the mission of KCC’s BOSP is to “provide media for instruction and training.” “The college is offering JOUR 227 [Writing for Publication] to train students in writing and editing for publication,” he said. “The online Kapi‘o provides the media for this instruction and training.” Along with online publication, the board has introduced three new student journals that feature student writing in science and tech-

goal for JOUR 227 and Kapi‘o is to provide students with true-to-life, useful experience in news gathering, reporting and editing.” Although the class would serve as the primary source of material for Kapi‘o, all students on campus are welcome to submit work. “In addition to providing media for instruction and training, the BOSP mission is to showcase student talents and provide media for sharing information, ideas and opinions,” Kawaharada said.
nology, the humanities and social science, as well as works in creative arts. All students are welcome to submit materials. “The BOSP mission includes support of the college’s cross-curricular emphases,” Kawaharada said. An annual magazine showcasing the best student features and news writing is also in the works. LOOKING AHEAD
Since starting this new academic year, Kapi‘o has kicked into high gear.
LYLE AMINE / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
The Kapi‘o printed its last print issue on April 28.
“I believe Kapi‘o Voices and Views is off to a great start,” Tsai said. “The online publication is continually updated, allowing us to better respond to late-breaking stories and to offer much more content overall. It no doubt helps that we have some really fantastic young writers contributing their work.” With the start of a new year, Kawaharada predicts a productive publication. “Our hope is that Kapi‘o and other publications will be widely read by the campus community, as evidence of the high quality writing and art that the college’s students produce.” In regards to new goals, Kawaharada said a transfer pathway to UH Mānoa’s journalism program is their latest objective. “The plan is to replace JOUR 227 Writing for Publication with JOUR 250 Media Writing in fall 2015 and
articulate this required course with UHM journalism program, so that students at KCC can take the course and transfer the credits,” he said. As stated in the site name, Tsai hopes to continue Kapi‘o as a publication that respects and reflects students’ voices and views. “I would hope that our goals are the same every day: to practice responsible, relevant journalism to the best of our ability and to serve our KCC community,” Tsai said. “Every community benefits from access to timely, accurate information and an open forum in which to exchange ideas.”

UH West O‘ahu sees increase in enrollment, UH Mānoa and UH Hilo see decrease Decrease in UH Mānoa enrollment attributed to more students graduating
MĀNOA
UH Mānoa received more applications from potential freshmen, although it did experience an enrollment drop from freshmen who may have chosen to enroll at UH West O‘ahu or one of the community colleges, according to Roxie Mitsuko Shabazz, UH Mānoa Assistant Vice Chancellor for Enrollment Management and director of admissions. “Due to UH Mānoa’s success with increasing graduation rates and decreasing the time it takes to obtain degrees, we have fewer seniors since students are graduating more quickly,” Shabazz said.
The Mānoa campus’s overall enrollment still has the highest enrollment out of any of the colleges in the UH system. This fall, UH Mānoa had 19,507 students enrolled, according to the fall 2014 census.
Tracing the census back four years, the West O‘ahu campus has had a gradual increase in enrollment since 2010. The campus has seen a jump in enrollment from
ERIC ANCHETA STAFF WRITER
The enrollment census for 2014 shows a significant increase in enrollment at the West O‘ahu campus with a decrease at the Mānoa and Hilo campuses. According to data from the University of Hawai‘i Office of Institutional Research, the West O‘ahu campus saw an increase of 12.7 percent this fall, and both the Mānoa and Hilo campuses saw a marginal decrease in enrollment.
WEST O‘AHU
1,471 students in 2010, to 2,661 in fall 2014, according to the fall 2014 census. According to UH West O‘ahu chancellor Rockne Freitas, the campus is doing a number of things to increase its enrollment, including aggressive recuitment, transfer-friendly baccalaureate programs and a student-centered learning environment that encourages college persistence. The campus has also expanded its early admission and dual enrollment programs with high school students from Waipahu and Wai‘anae. "UH West O‘ahu also continues to enroll a large number of transfer students from the UH community colleges, which are seeing a significant increase in graduates," Freitas said. "We pride ourselves on working on articulation
agreements that allow community college students to seamlessly transfer to UH West O‘ahu." HILO
Although UH Hilo had a marginal decrease from 4,043 students in fall 2013 to 3,924 students in fall 2014, the campus is running recruitment efforts to target potentially new students. Some of these efforts include building better connections with Hawai‘ i Community College (HawCC) students, whose goals are to transfer to a four-year university, according to Donald Straney, UH Hilo chancellor. “We are reaching out near and far," Straney said. "We are connecting with students who graduate from Hawaiian immersion schools, hoping they see UH Hilo as a natural place to go for college. Further away, we are identifying international
locations where we can recruit students who can take advantage of what UH Hilo has to offer." In addition to building connections and recruiting international students, UH Hilo has a program in place with HawCC with efforts geared towards a seamless transfer into selected majors at UH Hilo, according to Straney.

Number of alcohol violations drop DPS clarifies definition of alcohol offense
SOURCE: FREEPIK; WSYSOP1021 / FLICKR
Possession of kegs and beer bongs in the dorms is a violation for student housing, but these offenses are not illegal. MATHEW URSUA STAFF WRITER
No hate crimes, fewer sex assaults and fewer alcohol law violations. That’s what the university’s latest report on crime and campus safety indicates. The report, which was released about two weeks ago, also showed an increase in motor vehicle and moped thefts. But the campus Department of Public Safety (DPS) – the department tasked with compiling the statistics and generating the report – said that the drop in alcohol violations may not have been caused by a decrease in offenses. NEW NUMBERS, NEW CRITERIA
The report’s alcohol offense numbers, which show a drop from last year, were compiled differently this time around. According to DPS Community Programs Manager Sarah Rice, the numbers in previous years included offenses that weren’t against the law, but constituted violations of housing policies. “When you ask someone for alcohol offenses, they’re going to give you every alcohol offense,” Rice said. “We were asking for this broad definition.” Rice wanted to make sure DPS was asking for the right numbers. She said that DPS clarified the definition of an alcohol offense. That’s when student housing officials provided them with the new numbers. “The requirements haven’t changed,” Rice said. “All alcohol
offenses were included in previous years’ statistics.” Rice said the interpretation changed. “We weren’t clarifying fully what those definitions were,” Rice said. For the years leading up to 2013, DPS included alcohol offenses that were logged by student housing services but didn’t always constitute violations of the law. For 2013, DPS weeded out incidents that weren’t illegal. “Student Housing gave me the info on liquor violations that would constitute a conduct code violation even if it isn’t a law violation,” Rice said in an email. Common source containers such as kegs and beer bongs are not allowed in student dorms, according to Student Housing’s Community Standards webpage, but these offenses are not illegal under state law. Rice, who compiled the nearly 40-page report, is new to the department. She started her position as the community programs manager earlier this year. Rice acknowledged most people looking at the charts would have no way of knowing that the drop in alcohol offenses resulted from the change. The report doesn’t say so. That’s because the department decided its explanations of what constitutes an alcohol offense – found in the report – were enough. NEW REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
This year’s report included statistics for offenses that weren’t included in previous years – among
them domestic violence, dating violence and stalking. The figures are included because of new reporting requirements. This year DPS had to compile statistics for new types of crimes, specifically ones that tend to affect women. It was mandated by the Violence Against Women Act. Reports like the one UH released are federally mandated for colleges around the country, and contain figures for alleged campus criminal offenses ranging from murder and assault to liquor and drug violations. HATE CRIMES STEADY AT ZERO
No hate crimes were reported over the previous three school years, according to the report. Hate crimes are divided into categories that include offenses
against race, religion, sexual orientation, gender, disability, ethnicity and national origin. While many are satisfied with zero hate crimes, others warn that there’s still work to do in preventing and addressing those kinds of offenses. Camaron Miyamoto, coordinator for UH Mānoa’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender student services group, said no one reported any hate crimes against the campus LGBT community in the last year. But for Miyamoto, that’s no reason to let his guard down. “One thing I always keep in mind is that we cannot assume because nothing was reported, some form of violence did not occur,” he said in an email. Miyamoto said that hate crimes are under reported, especially if the
victim thinks that telling someone might make the situation worse. Miyamoto said hate crimes have strict definitions and criteria. “Incidents where students are harassed or bullied for being gay, for example, will not be reflected as hate crimes,” he said. The numbers for other major colleges appear similarly low. For 2013, Auburn University in Alabama reported one hate crime. It was listed as an offense against someone’s sexual orientation or gender. Arizona State’s campus in Tempe, Arizona, reported no hate crimes for 2013. Still, Rice is pleased with the numbers. “I couldn’t be happier,” Rice said. “It’s really good to see the reactions from people.” Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

SOURCE: BETH FUKUMOTO CHANG
Beth Fukumoto-Chang graduated from UH Mānoa in 2006 with a bachelor’s degree in American Studies.
In legislative races, UH alumni find tough campaigns ALEX BITTER EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
When she got a part-time job at the legislature as a University of Hawai‘ i student, Beth Fukumoto-Chang says she was more interested in earning money than getting into politics. “[The pay] was $13 an hour, which was higher than anything else,” she said. Now, at the end of her first term in the State House of Representatives, Fukumoto-Chang, a Republican, is running for re-election for her Mililani seat against Marilyn Lee, the Democrat and 16-year veteran of the legislature whom she defeated in 2012. Chang is one of several legislative candidates in Hawai‘i this election who plunged into politics shortly after college with careers that included time at UH. Although some find themselves in competitive races against more seasoned candidates, they say their positions as political newcomers could bring new perspectives to the legislature. While they may not have realized their interest until later in life, two candidates say their experiences at the university helped nurture their interest in policymaking.
FROM POLITICAL NEWBIE TO INCUMBENT
Fukumoto-Chang, who worked for the news, features and campus desks at Ka Leo between 2002 and 2004, said most of her time outside of classes was consumed by the production of the newspaper. Even so, she said she wasn’t interested in covering politics. Even when she began working in the research office for the Republican minority in the State House, she said, the atmosphere didn’t demand that employees be polit-
of Confederate preachers during the Civil War to those of the religious rights in the early 2000s. The context for the analysis, she says, was the success of religious conservatives and moral-based campaigning in getting then-President George W. Bush re-elected in 2004. Looking back at the paper, Fukumoto-Chang says there are some moral issues, including Hawai‘ i’s high cost of living and social support for the poor, that Democrats have done a better job of capitalizing on in recent years, adding that
“I saw a lot of concerns people had were being ignored by the legislature, including education.” – CHRISTOPHER STUMP HOUSE DISTRICT 17 CANDIDATE
ical junkies. “There was room for people that weren’t always interested in politics,” she said. “[They thought] it might be a good thing to get new people involved.” It wasn’t until she returned to the office after getting a graduate degree in English at Georgetown University that she began to take a serious interest in politics. As a senior, she wrote an Honors Thesis that compared the sermons
Duke Aiona’s gubernatorial campaign has emphasized some of these topics. “It’s something that conservatives don’t focus on as much,” she said. “This year, we’re seeing Republicans capitalize on these issues.” While Fukumoto-Chang is the incumbent, her Central O‘ahu constituency has a history of sending representatives of both parties to the state legislature. In 2012, she
beat Lee, the Democratic incumbent, by almost five percentage points after Lee’s district was redrawn. A DEMOCRAT IN A STRANGE LAND
Less than a year after graduating, Christopher Stump decided to launch his first political campaign. Unlike Fukumoto-Chang, Stump, who earned his bachelor’s in political science in fall 2013, had extensive political experience before graduating from UH. In addition to serving on the senate of the Associated Students of the University of Hawai‘ i, he interned for the state’s public defender and directed outreach for the Young Democrats of Hawai‘ i. “I saw a lot of concerns people had were being ignored by the legislature, including education,” he said. This fall, Stump is challenging Gene Ward, one of the state’s strongest Republican incumbents, for the House District 17 seat. Stump doesn’t deny that Ward, who has been in the House of Representatives for 16 years – with an eight-year hiatus in-between eightyear stints – will be a difficult opponent to unseat. He says his main advantage is his focus on issues that appeal to a growing population of young adults in the district. Chief among those is education,
including what he calls a “failing” university system. Stump says the legislature’s reluctance to give additional funding to UH and its insistence on cutting its budget have forced the university to make up for the gap by raising tuition – a choice that he points out has the greatest negative impact on students. “They think that’s the best way to solve a problem,” he said. “That doesn’t solve the problem, that hurts the students.”

GOVERNOR NEIL ABERCROMBIE / FLICKR
On Election Day (Nov. 4), Hawai‘ i will elect a new governor and representative.
THE 2014
GENERAL ELECTION GUIDE COMPILED BY ALEX BITTER EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
A three-way race for governor, a neck-and-neck contest for the U.S. House of Representatives and a nationwide battle for control of the U.S. Senate. These are the races that will likely define the 2014 elections for Hawai‘ i voters. Whether you’re ready to fill out your absentee ballot or just remembered that Election Day is a week away, our voter guide is
here to help you make an informed choice about the most important statewide races of the year. Already registered to vote? You should have received a card in the mail telling you where your polling place is. If you need to confirm where you must go to vote on Election Day, use the Office of Elections’ polling place search function at: elections2.hawaii.gov/ppl/. If you’re reading this on Monday, Oct. 27, you may still be able to request an absentee ballot by mail. If you fill out the form at hawaii.
gov/elections/forms/absentee_ application.pdf and mail it to the office of elections in your county, you will receive an absentee ballot as long as your request arrives there by the end of the business day on Tuesday, Oct. 28. Mail-in absentee ballot requests must be received at least one week before the election. Once you receive your ballot, you can mail it to your county elections office or return it in person at either of the early voting stations or at a polling place
on election day. Either way, your absentee ballot needs to be submitted by the time polls close at 6 p.m. on Election Day. You can also vote early in-person at Honolulu Hale (530 South King St.) or Kapolei Hale (1000 Uluohia St.) from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Not registered to vote? The deadline to register for this election has passed, but there is some hope on the horizon for last-minute voters. Starting in 2018, voters will be able to register to vote on Election Day
instead of having to do so almost a month in advance. The new law will take full effect in four years to give state elections officials time to implement the proposal, Gov. Neil Abercrombie said after signing the measure into law on Jun. 30. Part of the phase-in will include a registration option at early voting stations for the 2016 election. Either way, registering to vote in Hawai‘ i should require less thinking ahead than it did this election.
What Hawai‘i’s gubernatorial candidates think the state should do about the budget problems at UH Athletics: “This really is a decision for the university president and regents to make. … I don’t believe you want the legislature getting in and trying to decide how much funds should be spent for that program.” DAVID IGE
“Asian companies love Hawai‘ i. I would love to secure their assistance with our athletic program.” MUFI HANNEMANN
“The problem we have at the University of Hawai‘ i is that the politicians insert themselves every time there is a little issue. … We have got to allow the leadership at the University of Hawai‘ i to root.” DUKE AIONA

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Dear Reader, I am a coward. I consider this one of my finer traits. I come from a long tradition of people terrified of the dark, the unknown, sharp things, loud things and creatures bigger than myself. It is through distaste for pain and terror that we as a species advance. The day that ancient man tamed fire, he discovered that through his ingenuity he could conquer previously inescapable fears. Then, as friends and family huddled around the safety and warmth of the light, a semi-sapient evolutionary afterbirth who wasn’t done scaring himself silly wandered back off into the darkness. He, my Halloween and horror-loving readers, is your ancestor. Halloween is horrifying. From what I understand of the holiday, this is intentional. I enjoyed Halloween well enough when I was a child, when Halloween was that time of year when my parents would let me wear my Ghostbuster jumpsuit outside the house. However, I am an adult now. I can wear my Ghostbuster jumpsuit whenever or wherever I want. Now all that’s left for me on Halloween is fright, and I’m not on board with that. Scrooge that I am, there are many writers here at Ka Leo who adore Halloween. Though I may consider Halloween the worst holiday, the writers have put together a Halloween issue that will make this the best, worst holiday possible. I have to hand it to Halloween, it’s certainly not an uneventful day. Across the island, there are haunted houses popping up (page number for article). On campus. there are shows and activities (page number for article). Halloween is a time of story-telling (page number), it’s a time for reminiscing (page number for timeline and best halloween), it’s a time to pretty yourself up (page number for makeup article), it’s a time of films, food and fun (page number for movies). So, go on, then. Enjoy your “haunted” houses, your diabetes-inducing debauchery and the dozens of Ebolathemed costumes that I predict will define this year’s Halloween scene. As always, I will be ignoring all this Halloween tomfoolery. I will treat the day as I would any normal Friday, dress in my evening finery, pour a tumbler of something barrel-aged in Kentucky and curl up on the bathroom floor like a dog on New Year’s Eve. Your editor,

The kraken is a sea monster famous in Norse mythology. It is believed that the creature could reach sizes well beyond a ship, with tentacles armed with savagely hooked suckers as well as large club feet. The kraken grabs ships of unsuspecting sailors, devouring them whole. Some scientists now believe the kraken is actually Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni, commonly known as the Colossal Squid.

‘MALEFICENT’ SHOWING
FALL FOOTHOLDS
The Campus Center Board of Activities is hosting two screenings of “Maleficent,” starring Angelina Jolie and Elle Fanning. “Maleficent” is a re-imagining of Disney’s classic film “Sleeping Beauty.” The film explores the untold story of Maleficent, legendary for crashing a baby shower and dooming the young princess to an early death by spindle. It tells this story from the antagonist’s eyes, as she grows from a young girl haunted by betrayal into a powerful sorceress hungry for revenge. The Board will be providing cheap food and drinks during the screening, with concessions opening 30 minutes prior to each showing.
If you’re looking for something to do unrelated to Halloween, why not check out “Fall Footholds” at the Earle Ernst Lab Theatre? The show features choreography and thesis work by UH students. This Friday, there will be a post-show wrap. After the performance, stay and talk with the choreographers, designers and performers.

There’s candy being bought by the bundle, costumes hanging on the rack and pumpkins being carved – smells like Halloween spirit to us. Everyone is looking for a good scare this Halloween. Whether it’s searching for the superstitious spirits of Hawai‘ i’s history or getting chased by the undead, Hawai‘ i has haunted attractions that will scare anyone out of their slippers.
DR. CARNAGE’S HOUSE OF HORRORS
HAUNTED PLANTATION During the day, Hawai‘i’s Plantation Village is a historical landmark that represents the cultural diversity and history of Hawai‘i’s plantation days. Around Halloween, however, the spirits of the Haunted Plantation lurk during the night. “Everyone brought their diverse cultures here when they were shipped to work on the plantation,” Noa Laporga, founder and operator of Haunted Plantation said. “That’s why Hawai‘i is a melting pot, not only of cultures, but of diverse superstitions as well.” This 11- to 12-house attraction has been around for nine years, making it one of the biggest in Hawai‘ i. Howling spirits can come out of any corner, shadow or roof, and patrons can expect to have one or two of them breathing down their necks. This year’s theme is “The Revenge of the Obake,” based on one of their earliest and most popular themes.
Feeding off everything from a fear of small spaces to spiders, Dr. Carnage’s House of Horrors in Windward Mall Theater’s parking lot hopes to make its patrons face their worst fears. According to Doug Farrar, co-creator of Scream 808, people will be thrilled by the horrors throughout the maze. “We’re taking haunted houses to a whole new level,” Farrar said on Scream 808’s website. “People will have to ask themselves if they have the guts to escape our finale in Dr. Carnage’s evil workshop.” The theme is based on a mad psychologist who uses the fears of his clients against them. The attraction has hosted about 10,000 people a year for four years. The indoor event will have a special “blackout” night on Nov. 1, where customers will walk through the haunted house with glow sticks as their only light. “It’s something that everyone has to experience,” Farrar said. “There’s something for everyone.” MORE INFO

2014 HALLOWEEN SPECIAL ISSUE
SO YOU’RE TRAPPED IN A HORROR MOVIE… AN N UNNECESSARY UNNECES SSA SS ARY Y SU SURVIVAL UR RVIVA AL GUIDE GUIDE
1. BE IMPORTANT OR UNNOTICED DAVID HERMAN SPECIAL ISSUES EDITOR
IF I CAN’T BE A CAMEO, DIBS ON BEING THE PROTAGONIST
I have no real advice to give to real people. Life is a complicated mire of bad odds and dice rolls. If I understood any of it to any useful degree, I’d probably be happier, or at least have a better-paying job. I do however have a lot of real advice to give to fake people. That being said, if you ever find yourself trapped in a horror movie, here are five tips to get you through the night safe and sound.
There are no good supporting roles in a horror movie. You need to either be in the spotlight or off-stage by the time the curtain rises. Take some time in the next few days to determine where your strengths lie. If you’re the boring sort, just keep your mouth shut and be a wallflower. If you bleed charisma, then maybe it’d be best to throw yourself into some background-establishing prologue banter. The main character and non-speaking extras typically have the highest survival rate. The important part is you commit early on to one role or the other.
3. HAVE A LONG BACKSTORY
4. LET EVERYONE ELSE DIE OFF
EXPOSITIONAL ARMOR, THE ‘ARABIAN NIGHTS’ DEFENSE
Don’t assume yet that you’re safe just because you’ve gotten yourself into a protagonist role. There can be more than one main character, and if it comes down to the core few of you, odds are someone’s about to make a noble, ultimate sacrifice. To avoid drawing the short straw, remember this: Loose ends can only be tied when you find the end of the rope. As soon as you realize something’s up, reluctantly bring up a private, self-defining story from your past that no one else knows about. It doesn’t even have to be true, it just has to be interesting, mysterious and endless. As the night goes on, reveal small, cliffhanger-ending sections of your tale. People with interesting backstories can’t die while their story is still unfolding.
SLENDER MAN
2. DRAG YOUR FEET ONLY THE WETTEST BLANKETS SURVIVE THE FIRE
When your friends come by to invite you to explore an abandoned and/or haunted locale, turn them down. You may eventually be forced to go along with them anyway, but what you’re doing here is forcing the plot to give you a nobler motivation. As a rule of thumb, be as reluctant as possible. Don’t go because you’re secretly in love with someone else who’s going. Don’t go because you want to prove how brave you are. Wait until the point where not going would make you a bad person, like if your best friend was begging you to come because it’s his last chance to hang out before he moves away, or if your little brother sneaks out of the house and you have to bring him home safe.
5. TELL THE MONSTER HURTFUL THINGS
SMOOTH, GORY SAILING
STAB IT WITH YOUR WORDS
Now comes the easiest part. Don’t try to escape and don’t try to kill the monster. Until there’s just one survivor, the monster is unkillable. So just let the dominos around you fall. You may be stuck in a murderous game of musical chairs but you’ve glued yourself to a recliner. Protagonists are established within the first 15 minutes of the movie; barring any unique twists, you really have nothing to worry about. Oh, but scream anyway, and have a miserable time of it all. It’s the polite thing to do in these situations.
You’re going to feel the urge to search for a weapon – maybe some magical artifact or some other way to finally kill the monster who slaughtered all your friends. Go ahead and search for it, but while you do, you’ll need to think of something corny to say right before you kill it. You trapped the monster in a burning house? Well, it’s still alive and now it’s on fire. You ran it over with a train? Flatter doesn’t always mean deader. Stop thinking of monsters as physical creatures that need to be destroyed. They’re literary creatures bound by the rules of terrible writing and clichés. A well-timed, cheesy one-liner is the only way you’ll end the terror. A nuclear bomb is less effective than a swift kick punctuated by a pun.

The look of this mysterious entity alone sends chills down the spine. His tentacle-like appendages and featureless white face entranceme his victims. If a person stares at Slender Man for too long, they will fall into a hypnotic state. Slender Man also has the ability to maneuver extremely quickly, which some pinpoint as a sign of teleportation. Little else is known about Slender Man, but we do know that he likes to prey on small children. Witness accounts suggest he prefers concealed areas such as dark forests and dimly lit alleyways.

How to throw a Halloween party
What was your best Halloween? COMPILED BY JENNIFER WONG CONTRIBUTING WRITER
DEANNA TOTAAN 2014 GRAD
“Craziest, interesting, fun Halloween was last year with my best friend. ... It was the parade in Waikīkī. I was Snow White, aka Snow Brown. Since we’ve walked the strip so many times, you know each year it’s the big parade with all the tourists and everyone, we’re like, ‘Okay, we’re going to make this quick.’ So he was like, ‘Let’s run the strip,’ and I’m like, ‘What? Are you serious?’ So he grabs my hand and there’s the cars in the traffic lane watching and flashing pictures, and on the sidewalk it’s the parade of people, and we’re running right on the street next to the sidewalk, and every couple blocks or so there’s a police officer. So we’re running and right when it’s about to be the police officer, we’d swerve into the sidewalk of people and go through the sea of people and go back on the sidewalk again. We did that for a good couple blocks from the beginning, middle, and towards the end of Waikīkī and turned around and did it from the opposite side as well. But it was a very memorable experience because my best friend was yelling out ‘Runaway bride! Runaway bride!’ It’s just something you don’t usually see. Even though there’s a lot of crazy things happening because a lot of people are drunk ... that’s the most memorable Halloween I’ve had so far. That was two years ago.”
The pumpkin that was outside my front door was no longer there where I left it. ROBERT MORAN SENIOR
DANIELLE ARAGON JUNIOR
“My best Halloween was when I was in high school. My best friends and I dressed as Minions, and it was my favorite because we were the cutest and everyone knew what we were. When we sat together we would talk like Minions and say, y’know, ‘Baboy! Baboy!’ It was so awesome! There was this other group that tried to dress as Minions, but they just wore Minion T-shirts. But my best friends and I went all out with the suspenders, goggles, everything.”
“I don’t remember how old I was – maybe seven or eight, but I was Princess Belle. This was best childhood Halloween memory because I got to be a princess and my hair was long enough to be put in a bun just like Belle. ... My favorite color is yellow so seeing me in a yellow dress is a 100 times cuteness!” “Once upon a time, little Philippe and his big sister were planning on going to a nice little Halloween party. It was going to be Philippe’s first Halloween party, you know, he was just in high school, whatever. It was going to be pretty fun, so Christine took me to her friend’s house before we went to the party just to pregame. After pregaming we were completely incapable of finding out where the party was. So we then continued to drive around the city of Austin, Texas, for the next 45, 50 minutes or so to then conclude we have no idea where our destination is. We ended up just going to Zilker Park and inviting a bunch of other people there and having our own Halloween party at Zilker Park. I knew maybe 10 of the 50 people who showed up. It was pretty big. ... I was dressed as a pumpkin.” “One year, when I walked home with my bag of Halloween treats from my teachers, I turned the corner onto my street and noticed a putrid smell. I looked, and in the middle of the street was a pile of orange mush surrounded by buzzing flies and an air of despair. I stood over it, turned right and looked up my driveway. The pumpkin that was outside my front door was no longer there where I left it. By some Halloween miracle, it rolled down the driveway and 20 feet into the middle of the road, where a classic Hilo-lifted Tacoma had turned it into vegetative road kill. Best Halloween ever.”

Who doesn’t get excited with Halloween events that are coming up? This holiday is usually celebrated by people of all ages. This is a great time of year to get together, and partying with friends is a must. There are a few steps to throwing a successful Halloween party. Below are a few tips to get things going: PLAN IN ADVANCE:
RAELYN BATACAN SENIOR
PHILIPPE BUSSE BIOLOGY MAJOR
Like any other party, this is essential. Come up with ideas of what kind of party that you want to host. Plan out the guest list, food, drinks, costumes, music and decoration. Send out invitations. You can use e-vites or Facebook to create an event and ask friends to RVSP. This way, you can give the details about the theme, location, time and the costumes. PICK A THEME:
Make a list and choose the best one according to your budget. Decide on a theme early – this way guests have an opportunity to show up in theme-appropriate costumes if they want. PICK THE AGE GROUP:
If the guests are in college, you might want to create an opportunity for everyone to get little wild. FOOD AND DRINKS: ROBERT MORAN SENIOR
Pick out some favorite recipes from the Internet. Serve drinks to the guests. Age-appropriate drinks of course. GAMES AND/OR MOVIES:
Pick games that they know how to play and want to play. Same thing for movies: Pick the one that they want to watch. Don’t go too far from the theme. OPEN UP THE DANCE FLOOR:
Save a room for dancing. Set up lights and music, and feel free to come and go as you please. Play the right tunes. Mix up fun and upbeat songs that will entertain guests. REMEMBER TO SET ASIDE A SAFE AND SECURE AREA:
Don’t make your guests worried about their bags and other valuable belongings. Have an empty room or closet prepared for their belongings. WEREWOLF

Depending on where you are in the world, these children of the night have many different myths and origins. Westerners believe that a werewolf is a cursed individual who shapeshifts into a beast during the full moon. A common (and potentially fatal) weakness for werewolves is silver. During the man-to-wolf transition, humans lose all sense of connection to humanity and feast upon livestock and people without discrimination. If survivors of a werewolf attack are bitten, then they too shall become cursed – slaves to the moon for eternity.

LAST MINUTE LOOKS LAUREN ROXTON CHIBBARO STAFF WRITER
Whether you’re a procrastinator, are way too busy to think, or just completely forgot that there is a holiday coming up: Halloween is on Friday and you better have a costume. Here are a few last minute costumes to throw together from things you already have in your closet.
Superhero
Where’s Waldo
You want to throw on as many colors as possible. Pick a green leotard, black cape, red shorts and blue mask and call yourself a superhero. If someone asks who you are tell them you’re still deciding on a name and ask for suggestions. Bonus points if you pick something like “stealing-candy-from-baby-preventor-man.”
For the people who don’t want to be found. Grab jeans and a redstripped shirt and top it off with a red-stripped hat and glasses. Run away from people when they say they have found you.
MOTHMAN
Life Hands You Lemons Everyone will understand. Life hands everyone lemons, so why not be life for the night. Grab a T-shirt and write the word “life” on the front. Bring some lemons out with you; you are officially life handing people lemons. Be sure not to throw them at people though, you don’t want to be life chucking lemons.
MONSTER MADNESS
Approximate size: Slightly larger than average man Diet: Unknown Film documentation: Mothman prophecies
Nudist on Strike
Cat Burglar
The opposite of the skimpy clothing Halloween costume. Throw on your normal clothes, or perhaps a nice tuxedo, then hang a sign around your neck reading “nudist on strike” everyone will stop to read your sign and get a chuckle out of your creativity.
All black everything. Put on a black leotard, with black tights, black cat ears and a black mask. Bring a bag with dollar signs on it and you’ve officially been indicted onto the cat burglar wanted list.

This supernatural being, which first appeared in West Virginia, made its fame in the late ‘60s. A humanoid moth-like creature, Mothman strikes fear into the few that have seen it. Accounts describe Mothman as dark gray or black with large red eyes that glow in the night. Disturbing components of the 1966 sightings include its connections to premonitions of the tragic Silver Bridge collapse that occurred a year after the sightings began.

ELPHABA, THE WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST AMBER DAVISON CONTRIBUTING WRITER
THINGS TO DO BEFORE AND AFTER ALL MAKEUP APPLICATION
BASIC MATERIALS
Wash your face: Use a gentle cleanser, toner and then moisturizer. Doing so before application gives you a nice, clean canvas to paint on, and doing so after leaves you a nice, clean canvas for next time.
• Face paint • Spray bottle filled with water • A variety of makeup brushes including foundation, eyeshadow and blush • Baby wipes for quick makeup removal • Q-tips for erasing mistakes • Headband for keeping hair out of face during application
Clean your brushes: I like to use baby shampoo. Don’t be afraid of cleaning and rinsing each brush multiple times. If you share makeup brushes, make sure to dip the bristles in 70 percent rubbing alcohol.

3
STEP 2
FOR THE WICKED WITCH, YOU’RE GOING TO NEED:
• Green face paint- The official one is MAC Chromacake in Landscape Green ($25), but feel free to use other green colors • Eye shadows- Dark matte brown, light matte tan and additional colors if you want • Lipstick- I recommend black, but other colors could work • Black brow liner • Black wig- If you do not already have suitable hair Estimated cost: Depends on your choice of materials, with the exception of the Chromacake, suitable makeup options can be found at the drugstore for cheap prices.
Apply another thin layer, respraying the Chromacake as needed. Let dry.
STEP 3 Elphaba has black lipstick on during part of the musical, so I paired black with some green eyeshadow. You can keep the lips green or do a black smokey eye. I also filled in my eyebrows a bit.
4
STEP 4
Estimated time: Approximately 40 minutes
STEP 1 Apply eye primer on your eye area to make your eye makeup last all night. Take the MAC Chromacake and spray with water. Use the foundation brush to put on a light layer. It is okay if your natural skin color shows through. You will want to take the color down your neck, under the neckline of your costume. Do not forget the back of your neck and your ears. Let dry. VAMPIRE
Contouring time: Here, the idea is to shade your face so the color looks more realistic. I used a dark matte brown eye shadow for shadowing and a light matte tan eye shadow for highlighting, both with a blush brush. Then, I applied the shadow to the hollows of my cheeks, the sides of my nose and my temples. After that, I applied the highlight to the tops of my cheeks and the top of my nose. (Study your face and figure out your bone structure.)

Next, style your hair or put on your wig and you are done. The Chromacake does not need a setter, so you are good to go. I recommend wearing gloves with your costume so you don’t have to paint your fingers.
This could also become Gamora from “Guardians of the Galaxy” by using a very skinny brush and yellow face paint. Using a reference image, copy the marks on her face as closely as you can.

Vampires, who have their origins in Transylvania, have been terrorizing the night for centuries. These nocturnal monsters feed on the blood of humans and spread their curse through these bites. Once individuals become vampires, they gain increased strength and agility, flight, the ability to shapeshift and eternal life – with a catch. A vampire cannot enter a home if not invited, nor can it tolerate sunlight, garlic, Christian icons, holy water or a stake to the heart.

There’s a theory that supernatural creatures become real when enough people believe in them. Years go by, and stories ferment. Time slowly blurs the line between myth and history. Then one day, life is born from legend, and not always for our betterment. If this is true, it becomes increasingly important for us to be able to distinguish truth from fiction. Consider this an exercise in that. Here are three stories of campus hauntings. Two were invented in their entirety by our writers, while one is an honest report. For those in touch with campus happenings, it shouldn’t be difficult to figure out. However, if enough people can’t separate the truth from the lies, there may be two additional things to be rightfully worried about in Mānoa.
NĀ PŌPOKI PAKALAKI IKAIKA SHIVELEY ASSOCIATE FEATURES EDITOR
As we all know, the university is littered with feral cats. However, there is a much darker matter at hand which has been told through the urban legend known as “Nā Pōpoki Pakalaki” or the unlucky cats. Although it is unclear where the cats originated from, common belief is that these animals all came from one cat long ago. Some even suggest that the cat is still present among the others on campus. Eyewitness accounts state they have seen a black cat that was much larger than the typical feline. Some believe it is the makuahine, or mother, of all feral cats at the university. With the thousands of spirits inhabiting the islands of Hawai‘ i, the legend states that some of these spirits – both good and bad – have latched onto some of these cats. Interactions with these cats are not advised, for a curse of bad luck may be placed on you. Some outcomes include reports of car accidents, financial problems and poor school performance. Many think that a few of the cat handlers that feed the feral cats have actually been cursed by the cats and are now trying to please them by offering food. One feeder denied this saying, “I only do this for my love of cats and I feel bad for these neglected animals.” When asked if he knows other handlers, Jonathan Kawasaki said, “I have never formally met the other feeders, as they tend to avoid contact with me for whatever reason.” The growing number of cats has become an issue on campus, which signifies why some cats have been resorting to cannibalistic activities. Several deceased cats have been found around the university, which could mean that the rise in competition is leading to these horrid acts. A common meeting place for a few dozen cats is substation M located between Burns Hall and Hale Mānoa. Legend states that only black cats are possessed by lost spirits. If one were to walk by late at night, the cats would stop and stare. Grad student Nicole Wilson expressed her experience on the matter. “When walking back from a party, I came across this group of black cats. ... It was very odd, because moments before I heard a cat screaming like it was in a fight, but when they noticed me all the cats stared motionless,” Wilson said. “I was so freaked out, I just ran to get the heck out of there.” While the large mākuahine cat has never been captured on film, it cannot be denied that there is something odd about the feral cats on the university campus.
NOTHING TO FEAR, BUT FREAR ITSELF ERIC ANCHETA CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The University of Hawai'i at Mānoa was built on one of the oldest ahupua‘a on O'ahu. The campus has been featured on numerous ghost tours and can be found on list of haunted places across O'ahu, and with good reason. Take into consideration the old burial grounds that were surely disturbed when the ground was broken and the foundation was laid for many buildings you see today. Our ghostly tale is taken out of history, and started in 1952. The Frear Hall known today by dormers on the Mānoa campus stands on what used to be known as the Mary Dillingham Frear Hall. The Mary Dillingham Frear Hall was originally built to house 144 women and was dedicated to Mrs. Frear. The Hall was in use until 2000 and sat empty for many years before being demolished sometime in 2006, and was re-opened as Frear Hall in 2008. Mrs. Frear was married to Walter F. Frear who served as a chief justice of the supreme court of the territory of Hawai'i in the early 1900s. Mrs. Frear was a regent for the University of Hawai‘ i and had a strong affinity with the Hawaiian communities on O'ahu. Stories of strange activities in Frear Hall are shared by friends and fellow dormers. Some students tell stories of a ghost still roaming the halls of Frear, according to a current resident identified as Brian. Before he moved into the dorms, his friends shared a story with him about the ghostly apparition that students call “Mrs. Frear.” The story was that she walks through the halls wearing a white dress, typical of what woman would wear in the 50s. She is said to be carrying a ring of keys. The ring of keys would have been used for the old-style dorm rooms but has since been replaced by a key card system. The story also says that when Mrs. Frear passes she leaves behind her a scent of perfume. “One night I was coming back to the dorm from a night out and I was getting off the elevator and I saw a lady pass down the hall to the right,” an anonymous Frear Hall resident said. He asked to remain anonymous because he doesn’t want people to think he is crazy. Recounting his night the anonymous resident said, “It was weird, I was the only person in the elevator and when I saw the lady pass she was moving fast.” When he realized he was on the wrong floor, one floor below where he needed to be, he decided to take the stairs. “I was pretty wasted that night but I decided to take the stairs up one more floor,” he said. “I saw the lady as I went right out of the elevator. She was going left down the long stretch of hallway. As I left she was gone. I didn’t hear any doors open or close, she was just gone. I remember a strong smell a perfume. Had it not been for the perfume I would have thought I was tripping.” Does Mrs. Frear really walk the halls of Frear Hall? We can’t say for sure, but if you think you see something ghostly and you smell perfume in the air then there is a strong chance you encountered “Mrs. Frear.”
THE SPALDING SPECTER DANIELLE KATE VALLEJO CONTRIBUTING WRITER
It’s a fact that UH Mānoa has some creepy bathrooms that no one would dare walk into alone, especially at night. As a student on campus, I can say that I’ve used a fair share of these bathrooms, and it’s true that they’re a bit eerie. But of all the bathrooms on campus, one in particular caught my eye: the women’s second-floor bathroom in Spalding Hall. My friend and I visited the bathroom together, and just being in there made us feel nervous. Although it was daytime, we couldn’t stand being in there for more than five minutes. After my friend and I left, she started telling me a story about a friend who had encountered something in that bathroom. After listening to this story, I didn’t know if I could believe it, so I asked her for her friend’s name and contact information to get the real details. But this wasn’t enough. I wanted to see if anyone else had experienced something in that bathroom. So I visited my brother’s old Ilokano teacher that had an office in Spalding, and he directed me to an Asian studies professor. These are their stories.
LEND ME A HAND Last semester, Joy Chan, 20, psychology major, was getting ready to leave school one late Wednesday evening after she accompanied her friend to visit her professor on Spalding’s second floor. Before leaving, she decided to use the bathroom that was near the stairs, but her friend urged her to use another. “I’ve used this bathroom before and always have gotten this feeling like someone’s watching me,” said Hawaiian language major Malia Smith. “It gives me bad vibes.” But Chan, thinking that it was all in Smith’s head, chose not to listen. Upon entering the bathroom, Chan said that it seemed “sketchy.” The walls had holes, the paint was coming off and the bathroom also seemed to double as a storage room. Various boxes, plastic storage containers and computer equipment were stacked behind two white boards, about 5-foot-5 in height, which served as dividers. Chan made a right and finally entered the five-stall bathroom area, and it was empty, humid and quiet. When she started using the bathroom, she heard a distinct noise. “It sounded like something banging against a metal shed door. It wasn’t a big bang; it was just a slight bang. I thought it was the wind causing it,” Chan said. When she finished using the bathroom, she waited a few moments before leaving the stall, then heard the same noise again. She finished up and rushed to wash her hands, but as she was drying them she heard it again. “Honestly, I thought it was the wind. But I saw that the window was shut and the main door was closed, and I started getting a weird vibe because there’s no way that
noise could be caused by nothing,” Chan said. As she made her way out of the bathroom, she thought she saw something out of the corner of her eye. She described it as a white shadow passing behind her and she stopped for a moment and heard the noise again. After completely turning around and facing the divider, she slowly walked up to it. Chan said she wanted to find the source of the noise because she didn’t want to seem crazy. So she placed her hand on the white divider on the right, noting that it was covered with a soft fabric. She gently pushed it but didn’t hear anything. Then she tried again, but this time gripped the hard wooden top and shook it vigorously, finally eliciting the noise. With a sigh of relief, she decided to leave the bathroom. She lifted her hand but felt a sudden weight on it. She tried to move, but the weight on her hand prevented her from doing so. “It felt like someone or something on the other side of that divider placed their hand on mine, but there was no one there. There was no hand,” Chan said. “I got the hell outta there.” Chan found Smith outside and confirmed that there was something strange about the bathroom, telling her that she never wanted to go to that bathroom alone. “I never thought that things like this actually happened until I experienced it for myself,” Chan said.
HIDE AND GO-SEEK Asian Studies professor Janice Wong had just picked up her 8-year-old daughter Katie from Saint Francis School up the hill from campus when she realized she had left a folder with her students’ papers in her last class, so she returned to campus to get it. She had planned to leave her daughter in the car because it wouldn’t take long to run to her class and grab the papers, but her daughter insisted she go with her. Wong and her daughter rushed up Spalding Hall to the second floor. This wasn’t her normal classroom, but she had switched rooms with another teacher for a bigger space for the day. Luckily for her, the doors were still unlocked; Department of Public Safety had not yet locked the main doors like they usually do. When she entered the classroom, her manila folder was on the desk. Grabbing it, she headed out. As she made her way out of the classroom and past the brown double doors, she decided to make a stop at the bathroom before setting off on her long drive home. “Once I entered the bathroom, I thought I read the sign wrong. Even my daughter asked me where we were,” Wong said. She took notice of how aged the bathroom looked, as well as the small storage space with the barrier-like
boards in front of her. But she continued walking into the empty stall area. Her daughter told her that she didn’t need to use the bathroom, so Wong told her to wait outside the stall. But as soon as Wong entered and began to use the bathroom, she could hear her daughter heavily stomping her feet. She assumed that her daughter was trying to hurry her up, but when she heard her steps become more distant she got a bit worried. She called out to her daughter, but her daughter didn’t reply. “It was after I called her for the third time when she finally responded. But she didn’t say anything; I could just hear her laughing.” Wong said. After hearing her daughter’s laugh, she became worried, wondering what her daughter was laughing at. She finished up in the bathroom and hurried out to get her daughter – only to find her in front of the white barrier. According to Wong, she watched her daughter point above the white border, jumping up and down, laughing. But there was no one there. “I asked my daughter why she was laughing, and she said that there was a lady playing with her, popping her head up and down from behind the board and looking at her,” Wong said, adding that she felt chills after her daughter told her that. Wong also stated that the light was on and she could clearly see that there was no lady visible. Feeling a bit uneasy, Wong guided her daughter back into the stall area, telling her to stay right behind her. She continued to wash her hands when suddenly her daughter started laughing again. “She told me that that the lady was playing with me now,” Wong said. Wong said she looked back to her daughter, who was smiling. Thinking she was just playing a joke, Wong shrugged it off. But as she turned back to face the mirror, she saw someone in the last stall poking their head out and looking at her. “That thing had big dark eyes. It was slightly looking out of the stall and at me,” Wong said. “After seeing that, I grabbed my daughter and ran out of the bathroom. I just wanted to leave.” According to Wong, this incident happened during her second year teaching at UH. She said that she heard of ghost activity that happened in buildings and such but didn’t really believe in it. “I definitely believe in that stuff now,” Wong said.

Before he moved into the dorms, his friends shared a story with him about the ghostly apparition that students call “Mrs. Frear.” The story was that she walks through the halls wearing a white dress, typical of what woman would wear in the 50s. She is said to be carrying a ring of keys. The ring of keys would have been used for the old-style dorm rooms but has since been replaced by a key card system. The story also says that when Mrs. Frear passes she leaves behind her a scent of perfume. “One night I was coming back to the dorm from a night out and I was getting off the elevator and I saw a lady pass down the hall to the right,” an anonymous Frear Hall resident said. He asked to remain anonymous because he doesn’t want people to think he is crazy. Recounting his night the anonymous resident said, “It was weird, I was the only person in the elevator and when I saw the lady pass she was moving fast.” When he realized he was on the wrong floor, one floor below where he needed to be, he decided to take the stairs. “I was pretty wasted that night but I decided to take the stairs up one more floor,” he said. “I saw the lady as I went right out of the elevator. She was going left down the long stretch of hallway. As I left she was gone. I didn’t hear any doors open or close, she was just gone. I remember a strong smell a perfume. Had it not been for the perfume I would have thought I was tripping.” Does Mrs. Frear really walk the halls of Frear Hall? We can’t say for sure, but if you think you see something ghostly and you smell perfume in the air then there is a strong chance you encountered “Mrs. Frear.”
THE SPALDING SPECTER DANIELLE KATE VALLEJO CONTRIBUTING WRITER
It’s a fact that UH Mānoa has some creepy bathrooms that no one would dare walk into alone, especially at night. As a student on campus, I can say that I’ve used a fair share of these bathrooms, and it’s true that they’re a bit eerie. But of all the bathrooms on campus, one in particular caught my eye: the women’s second-floor bathroom in Spalding Hall. My friend and I visited the bathroom together, and just being in there made us feel nervous. Although it was daytime, we couldn’t stand being in there for more than five minutes. After my friend and I left, she started telling me a story about a friend who had encountered something in that bathroom. After listening to this story, I didn’t know if I could believe it, so I asked her for her friend’s name and contact information to get the real details. But this wasn’t enough. I wanted to see if anyone else had experienced something in that bathroom. So I visited my brother’s old Ilokano teacher that had an office in Spalding, and he directed me to an Asian studies professor. These are their stories.
LEND ME A HAND Last semester, Joy Chan, 20, psychology major, was getting ready to leave school one late Wednesday evening after she accompanied her friend to visit her professor on Spalding’s second floor. Before leaving, she decided to use the bathroom that was near the stairs, but her friend urged her to use another. “I’ve used this bathroom before and always have gotten this feeling like someone’s watching me,” said Hawaiian language major Malia Smith. “It gives me bad vibes.” But Chan, thinking that it was all in Smith’s head, chose not to listen. Upon entering the bathroom, Chan said that it seemed “sketchy.” The walls had holes, the paint was coming off and the bathroom also seemed to double as a storage room. Various boxes, plastic storage containers and computer equipment were stacked behind two white boards, about 5-foot-5 in height, which served as dividers. Chan made a right and finally entered the five-stall bathroom area, and it was empty, humid and quiet. When she started using the bathroom, she heard a distinct noise. “It sounded like something banging against a metal shed door. It wasn’t a big bang; it was just a slight bang. I thought it was the wind causing it,” Chan said. When she finished using the bathroom, she waited a few moments before leaving the stall, then heard the same noise again. She finished up and rushed to wash her hands, but as she was drying them she heard it again. “Honestly, I thought it was the wind. But I saw that the window was shut and the main door was closed, and I started getting a weird vibe because there’s no way that
noise could be caused by nothing,” Chan said. As she made her way out of the bathroom, she thought she saw something out of the corner of her eye. She described it as a white shadow passing behind her and she stopped for a moment and heard the noise again. After completely turning around and facing the divider, she slowly walked up to it. Chan said she wanted to find the source of the noise because she didn’t want to seem crazy. So she placed her hand on the white divider on the right, noting that it was covered with a soft fabric. She gently pushed it but didn’t hear anything. Then she tried again, but this time gripped the hard wooden top and shook it vigorously, finally eliciting the noise. With a sigh of relief, she decided to leave the bathroom. She lifted her hand but felt a sudden weight on it. She tried to move, but the weight on her hand prevented her from doing so. “It felt like someone or something on the other side of that divider placed their hand on mine, but there was no one there. There was no hand,” Chan said. “I got the hell outta there.” Chan found Smith outside and confirmed that there was something strange about the bathroom, telling her that she never wanted to go to that bathroom alone. “I never thought that things like this actually happened until I experienced it for myself,” Chan said.
HIDE AND GO-SEEK Asian Studies professor Janice Wong had just picked up her 8-year-old daughter Katie from Saint Francis School up the hill from campus when she realized she had left a folder with her students’ papers in her last class, so she returned to campus to get it. She had planned to leave her daughter in the car because it wouldn’t take long to run to her class and grab the papers, but her daughter insisted she go with her. Wong and her daughter rushed up Spalding Hall to the second floor. This wasn’t her normal classroom, but she had switched rooms with another teacher for a bigger space for the day. Luckily for her, the doors were still unlocked; Department of Public Safety had not yet locked the main doors like they usually do. When she entered the classroom, her manila folder was on the desk. Grabbing it, she headed out. As she made her way out of the classroom and past the brown double doors, she decided to make a stop at the bathroom before setting off on her long drive home. “Once I entered the bathroom, I thought I read the sign wrong. Even my daughter asked me where we were,” Wong said. She took notice of how aged the bathroom looked, as well as the small storage space with the barrier-like
boards in front of her. But she continued walking into the empty stall area. Her daughter told her that she didn’t need to use the bathroom, so Wong told her to wait outside the stall. But as soon as Wong entered and began to use the bathroom, she could hear her daughter heavily stomping her feet. She assumed that her daughter was trying to hurry her up, but when she heard her steps become more distant she got a bit worried. She called out to her daughter, but her daughter didn’t reply. “It was after I called her for the third time when she finally responded. But she didn’t say anything; I could just hear her laughing.” Wong said. After hearing her daughter’s laugh, she became worried, wondering what her daughter was laughing at. She finished up in the bathroom and hurried out to get her daughter – only to find her in front of the white barrier. According to Wong, she watched her daughter point above the white border, jumping up and down, laughing. But there was no one there. “I asked my daughter why she was laughing, and she said that there was a lady playing with her, popping her head up and down from behind the board and looking at her,” Wong said, adding that she felt chills after her daughter told her that. Wong also stated that the light was on and she could clearly see that there was no lady visible. Feeling a bit uneasy, Wong guided her daughter back into the stall area, telling her to stay right behind her. She continued to wash her hands when suddenly her daughter started laughing again. “She told me that that the lady was playing with me now,” Wong said. Wong said she looked back to her daughter, who was smiling. Thinking she was just playing a joke, Wong shrugged it off. But as she turned back to face the mirror, she saw someone in the last stall poking their head out and looking at her. “That thing had big dark eyes. It was slightly looking out of the stall and at me,” Wong said. “After seeing that, I grabbed my daughter and ran out of the bathroom. I just wanted to leave.” According to Wong, this incident happened during her second year teaching at UH. She said that she heard of ghost activity that happened in buildings and such but didn’t really believe in it. “I definitely believe in that stuff now,” Wong said.

2014 HALLOWEEN SPECIAL ISSUE
FOUR DECADES UNEARTHED Costumes from the Ka Leo archive TRICIA KHUN STAFF WRITER
1975 FRANKENSTEIN
ELMER’S GLUE-ALL BOTTLE
Frankenstein first rose to prominence in Mary Shelley’s novel, “Frankenstein; or The Modern Prometheus.” In the novel, she describes “Frankenstein” as an 8-foot tall, hideous creation with translucent yellow skin tightly stretched across his body, hiding no veins. The story of “Frankenstein” was and still is an unforgettable classic of a monster that tries to assimilate into society, but is repeatedly shunned because of his not-so-beautiful appearance. Even though he is a hideous green monster in appearance, his sensitivity captures both the attention and hearts of those who meet him.
On Friday, Nov. 3, 1978, an article was written for Ka Leo’s 1978 Halloween issue. The article captured a costume of a “human-size bottle of Elmer’s glue” that was left on one of the campus lawns during one of UH Mānoa’s architecture department Beaux-Arts Ball events. The owner of the costume returned later to retrieve the costume.
1978 ARCHITECT IEOH MING PEI
1970
1980
On Friday, Nov. 3, 1978, another Halloween-related article was published. The article was about UH Mānoa graduate student Charles Lau, who won a prize for having the best individual costume at the Beaux-Arts Ball hosted by the campus’ Architecture department. Lau’s costume was that of the noted architect, Ieoh Ming Pei. Ieoh Ming Pei, often called the “master of modern architecture,” was internationally well-known for both his modern and cube-themed designs. He was also known for his use of combining traditional architectural patterns with simple geometric patterns. Evidence of his work still stands today and can be seen at the National Gallery East Building in Washington D.C. Other designs of his include: the Bank of China Tower in Hong Kong and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio, among many other designs.
SPIDER-WOMAN On Friday, Nov. 2, 1979, an article was published about Alias Mar-guerite-Bodine who had dressed up as a spider-woman and won the $50 grand prize at UH Mānoa’s 15th Annual Haunted House and Halloween happy hour costume contest at Johnson Hall.
1998
BIGFOOT
RAGGEDY ANN
PRESENT DAY
2000
Raggedy Ann was a character first created by Johhny Gruelle, an American writer. The books centered on the life of Raggedy Ann, a doll who had red yarn for hair and a triangular nose. After much success of the “Raggedy Ann Stories” since published in 1918, the fictional character was created into a doll. Besides the creation of a doll, other adaptations of Raggedy Ann followed and it eventually became a classic in today’s pop culture. Raggedy Ann even made its way into the National Toy Hall of Fame on March 22, 2002.
YEAR OF THE AFFORDABLE COSTUMES In a 2006 Halloween issue of the Ka Leo, an article gave students advice on how to create their own Halloween costumes that were both affordable and comfortable. One of the costumes that appeared in the issue included UH Mānoa freshman Angela Pena Gonsalvez who dressed as a tacky tourist. A Hawaiian shirt, a fanny pack and some khaki shorts. Altogether, Gonsalvez only spent about $13 - what is a better deal than that?

Perhaps one of the most famous cryptids of cryptozoology is Bigfoot. Sasquatch’s habitat is in woodland areas of North America, though many cultures in the Pacific Northwest have reported similar stories of giant men for centuries. This elusive creature is known for its oversized feet and strong, distinctive stench. It is also thought that Bigfoot is a primate, which corresponds with the intelligence that experts believe it possesses.

Cabin in the Woods (2012)
Red State (2011)
If you’re tired of the typical horror film, then this one is for you. Something of a modern-day “Scream,” this film pokes fun at the overly redundant genre that seems to lack originality. The premise is simple; a group of college students (including Chris Hemsworth) travel to a secluded cabin. From then on, the film plays with the quote present in the trailer, “You think you know the story. Think again.” “Cabin in the Woods” is half a satirical horror comedy with clichéd characters and half a terror masterpiece. Any fan of horror will fall in love with its clever writing and diverging plot by Joss Whedon While the film has more sci-fi element than most horror films, it doesn’t stray from scaring viewers. “Cabin in the Woods” is a must-see for any so-called horror fan.
The first horror film of director/writer Kevin Smith’s career, “Red State” intrigued most movie-goers. Upon its release, it quickly became a success as another defining piece of Smith’s resume. Centering around a lustful group of friends, “Red State” quickly becomes dark as the three best friends encounter a religious cult whose sole purpose is to spread the message of God through a sinister method. While there is much more to the story than stated, it’s best to go into the film blind to fully enjoy it. “Red State” has it all: disturbing family values and gore, as well as a new face of horror. Michael Parks as Pastor Abin Cooper is one of the most unsettling and chaotic portrayals of a realistic horror villain. With a fair amount of action, “Red State” will indeed entertain.

Evil Dead (2013)
The Conjuring (2013)
One of the most inspirational horror franchises made its triumphant return after a 20-year absence. Director Fede Alvarez, as a diehard fan of the past films, channeled his passion for the original film in creating one of the most terrifying installments in the “Evil Dead” series. Similar to its predecessors, “Evil Dead” focuses on five friends who discover “The Book of the Dead” in a mysteriously isolated cabin. After reading a passage from “Naturom Demonto,” the demons that inhabit the surrounding woods are summoned to terrorize the unsuspecting group who must fight to stay alive. Continuing the brilliance of the first three films, “Evil Dead” blends terror with art, creating one of the most beautifully-shot horror films in recent years. Not only does the film have flying crane shots and ominous cinematography, but the choice of practical effects makes the film visually pleasing. Jane Levy’s performance as Mia solidifies her as the new queen of horror, and will be scaring viewers for years to come.
Loosely based on true events, this film gained much attention and an overall positive reception. The film is entertaining and well-made, but it’s also haunting. The film begins with a family moving into a remote house in the Rhode Island wilderness. What seems like a blessing turns into a nightmare when they are haunted by a terrifying entity. Afraid for his family’s safety, Roger Perron (Ron Livingston) requests help from famous paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren (Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga). Once the Warrens arrive at the house, they come to realize that the entity is stronger than any other they have encountered before. The supernatural events that the family experiences are disturbing. These events remain in the audience’s mind well after the film ends, transferring that fear into reality. The house itself has an ominous appearance that coincides with the eerie surrounding environment. The suspense in the film is far more powerful than related titles such as “Paranormal Activity.” As one of the scariest films in recent years, it even finds a way to make people afraid of clapping.
EL CHUPACABRA
Over time, Halloween, (Oct. 31 holiday at summer’s end), has been reshaped by religion and politics, and has emerged recently more secular and commercialized. According to Investopedia, an online resource for investors, in 2012, Americans were expected to spend $8 billion for Halloween on things ranging from gift cards to candies to costumes. But the holiday of Jack o’ Lanterns, costume-wearing and haunted houses has its origins in the pagan ways of ancient Celts. IS HALLOWEEN A HOLIDAY OF THE DEAD?
According to the Ontario Consultants on Religious Tolerance, Halloween was never devoted to any god of death. Instead, an 18th century writer equated the Celtic God of the Dead with Samhain, which led Wicca to adopt it as fact. Wicca is a new incarnation of paganism that emerged in the mid- 20th century. “Identifying Samhain as a Celtic Death God is one of the most tenacious errors associated with Halloween,” the site says. “Modern-day Samhain is the day when many Wiccans believe that their God dies, later to be reborn.” Death was still a prominent theme throughout the holiday’s history and was viewed as a time to appease and seek guidance from spirits of the departed. THE CHRISTIAN CONFLICT
Paganism and witchcraft of a bygone era shine through in today’s incarnation of Halloween, which is why it’s contested by some fundamentalist Christians. In his booklet, “The Facts on Halloween,” John Ankerberg discusses the pagan origins of Halloween. His booklet is meant to help Christians decide whether or not to participate in the holiday. “The idea of trick-or-treating is further related to the ghosts of the dead in pagan, and even Catholic, history,” Ankerberg writes.

COMMUNICATING WITH THE DEPARTED
People have been trying to bridge the gap between the living and the dead throughout time. Despite the scientific advances that the 20th century brought, we have continued our quest to reach the souls of the departed. Thomas Edison did not stop at inventing the lightbulb and the phonograph. He tried to develop a device to communicate with the souls of the dead. He announced his project in October 1920. Some say the announcement was a hoax. Nikola Tesla, another pioneering inventor, is said to have been spooked by a serendipitous dispatch to the realm of the departed. A radio Tesla built started to sound off with what he heard as indecipherable human voices engaged in conversation. It was said that Martha Beckwith, the Vassar College folklore professor known for compiling Hawaiian mythology, drew parallels between the myths of Hawaiians and the folklore of the Celts.

Sightings of this mysterious creature predominantly occur in Central and South America, as well as along the southern U.S. border. Standing around 3-foot-4 on its hind legs, El Chupacabra is described as an alien-like reptile with big eyes and large fangs. El Chupacabra feeds on livestock, specifically goats. While the beast has never been caught, there have been numerous eyewitness accounts as well as unexplained livestock attacks credited to El Chupacabra.

DELICIOUS TREATS
SPOOKY VIDEO GAMES
HALLOWEEN MOVIE MARATHON
The Internet is a great resource for recipes. You could make “poison” toffee apples, candy corn fruit cups, pumpkin pancakes, spider web cupcakes, popcorn balls, Jell-O worms and more. Bonus points if your recipe is a dish from popular Halloween movies or shows, like Harry Potter Cauldron Cakes or Weeping Angel Wings from Doctor Who’s scariest episode ever, “Blink.” If you’re of age, why not make some creative cocktails? Again, the Internet is your best resource for this. “The Halloween Hpnotist” combines Hpnotiq with vodka and lemon juice, garnished with a blue glow stick, while “Jack O’Lantern” features cognac with a sliced orange on top, looking just like a pumpkin in a drink. Use corn syrup dyed with red food coloring to make drops of blood slide down your glass in a “Bloody Devil.” If you’re under 21, sit down with your favorite ginger-pumpkin-caramel-squash-spiced-tea-lattewhatever, and enjoy a Halloween movie from our list.
There’s a wide variety for gamers of every fright level. “Luigi’s Mansion” is a fun and entertaining game for Nintendo GameCube with a sequel on the Nintendo 3DS called “Dark Moon.” “BioShock” isn’t a Halloween story, but it’s an award-winning game that’s sure to creep you out and make you think. Grotesque, disturbing and wildly popular, “Silent Hill” is one of the most well-known horror games and great to play on Halloween. Finally, for more terrifying fun, check out “Amnesia: The Dark Descent” and be prepared to stay up all night.
Scary, silly, animated or live action, you pick. Pop some popcorn or your favorite snack and settle in for a night at the cinema. Here are some classic movies to get you started: “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” “The Addams Family,” “Beetlejuice,” “Ghostbusters,” “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” “Coraline” or “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.” For more horror movie recommendations, check out our article on new horror films to watch (p. 18). For a unique (and nostalgic) twist, you could marathon the Halloween specials of several TV shows. “The Simpsons” has done 25 Halloween specials, one for each year it’s been on air. Other TV shows include “Phineas and Ferb,” “Kim Possible,” “Danny Phantom,” “The Proud Family,” “Ned’s Declassified” and “Hey Arnold!” If all else fails, wrap yourself up in your darkest cloak and go lie in a coffin. Avoid the sun because you hate people and you’ve just turned into a vampire. Or, if you can’t think of anything else to do this Friday, start planning your Christmas celebrations. Happy Halloween.
MANANANGGAL
SCARY STORIES If you’ve got a creative brain and some like-minded friends, why not engage in one of the oldest traditions of Halloween: Telling each other scary stories and seeing who gets freaked out the most. Have a competition and see who can tell the scariest story. This simple yet fun game has led to the creation of monsters like Frankenstein and Dracula, so who knows what your twisted mind could come up with?

Free speech should not be zoned How the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa restricts the freedom of expression
FILE PHOTO / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
Students protest after a mural that addressed UH’s involvement in the construction of a telescope on the Big Island was painted over. REBEKAH CARROLL & MICHELLE TIGCHELAAR GUEST WRITERS
Over the past year at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, free speech for students has been a growing issue. Student groups have been clashing with administration over where, when and how they can exercise this fundamental right. The idea of “free speech zones” is troubling – students should not have to reserve their rights, but UH Mānoa has a policy that requires student groups to reserve these spaces. Last fall, hauMANA, a Mānoa student organization, was one of several groups that was permitted to paint a mural on the Campus Center construction walls in the week leading up to the Ka Leo Arts Festival. However, a portion of their mural was painted over as it contained a message protesting the construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope project being done on the Mauna Kea summit on Hawai‘i island. The reason given for painting over the mural? It was not a protected “free speech zone.” The land where the telescope was being built was leased to UH by the Board of Land and Natural Resources. The summit is a sacred place for Hawaiians, and the message called on the university to honor their commitment to being a “Hawaiian place of learning” – a central part of the campus strategic plan. FIX UH MĀNOA
In September, Fix UH Mānoa, a group formed following the controversial firing of Chancellor Tom Apple, chalked a simple message across the Campus Center stairs, “Fix UH Mānoa.” Despite being told that it would
not be removed, the group returned to campus the following morning to discover that the stairs had been power washed and their message scrubbed away overnight by Campus Center staff. The group worked with the Student Life and Development Office to resolve the issue, and the following week, was permitted to re-chalk their message where it remained for the rest of the week. The reason for the removal? The group had not properly reserved the “free speech zone.” On occasion, students handing out written materials at the Campus Center have been urged to stop their activities. For instance, also in September, students from the same Fix UH Mānoa group were asked by employees of Student Life and Development to stop handing out flyers about recent campus events and the objectives of their group. The reason why they were stopped? “Soliciting” is not allowed on campus. FREE SPEECH ON UH CAMPUSES
Restrictions on speech and expression exist on all 10 campuses of the University of Hawai‘i System. The Administrative Rules for the University of Hawai‘i state that “the president ... shall designate one or more appropriate public forum areas on campus where individuals may assemble and engage in public speech activities. ... When a location other than a designated public forum is utilized, the practices and procedures governing the place, time and manner of such activities is to be determined.” These restrictions have been in place since at least 1982, when the current version of the Administrative Rules was adopted. They were allegedly created to ensure that the orderly functioning of the univer-
sity is preserved. At UH Mānoa, the public forum areas are the tents in Hemenway Hall and the Campus Center Courtyards. Students who wish to use these spaces for acts of speech and expression need to reserve them in advance, on a first-come, firstserved basis. Students can only use these spaces during operating hours of the Campus Center facilities. As such, students are allowed to express their opinion, but only in specific places, at specific times and when they inform the university in advance. According to system and campus policies, “solicitation” is not allowed anywhere on campus, but what constitutes “solicitation” is not defined. The situation causes confusion, because according to the UH Mānoa General Provisions and the RIO Handbook, students can hand out printed materials, as long as they are informational, non-commercial and the distribution does not interfere with the orderly conduct of univer-
sity affairs. The rules are therefore ambiguous and can be arbitrarily applied. The lawfulness of UH’s policies was recently challenged at UH Hilo, when two students sued the University of Hawai‘i for violating their constitutional rights to freedom of expression. This January, the students – members of the Young Americans for Liberty chapter at UH Hilo – were handing out copies of the Constitution at a university event. They were told that they were not allowed to solicit students and that they should limit their expressive acts to the free speech zone, which had to be reserved seven days in advance. The lawsuit asserts that the University of Hawai‘ i system’s policies violate the First and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution. According to the lawsuit, “Laws that subject the exercise of First Amendment freedoms to the prior restraint of a license, without narrow, objective and definite standards to guide the licens-
ing authority, are unconstitutional.” By requiring advance notice and permitting, limiting free speech to a small public forum area and not clearly defining what constitutes “solicitation,” the UH System and campus policies restrict student expression. On May 15, UH Hilo adopted an interim policy on speech and assembly in response to the lawsuit. From now on, student speech and assembly will be permitted without prior notification, “in all areas generally available to students and the community.” Students will also be allowed to approach others on campus and to distribute non-commercial literature. In a statement, UH Hilo Chancellor Don Straney said that “UH Hilo is committed to the free and open exchange of ideas. The interim policy will ensure our students have that right while we continue our review of campus policies.” A LEARNING LESSON
ALDEN ALAYVILLA / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
The controversy surrounding the Hawaiian mural and the confusion around the chalking of Campus Center stairs indicate that free speech regulation at UH Mānoa is problematic. UH Mānoa should follow the example of UH Hilo by allowing students to express their opinion anywhere on campus, without advance notice. It should also exclude the spreading of informational materials from the definition of “solicitation.” Doing so would not only ensure that UH Mānoa’s policies protect students’ constitutional rights; it would also allow students to exercise the critical and free thinking that is a fundamental part of any university education.
Students and faculty expressed their distrust for the university by chalking the Campus Center stairs in September.

Tyler Strong was allowed to reunite with his family in Oregon after posting bail. DANIELLA REYES STAFF WRITER
How many of you have been keeping track of the story of Tyler Strong, a student at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa who allegedly raped an 18-year-old woman in Johnson Hall last month? Not many of you? That’s not surprising, considering that the usual security email students get informing them of incidents on campus never got sent out. This is a case in which the university failed to act according to protocol. On Sept. 21, Tyler Strong was arrested at Johnson Hall and charged with first-degree sexual assault. This means that the accused either “had sexual contact or sexual intercourse with another person without consent of that person and caused pregnancy or great bodily harm” or “had sexual contact or sexual intercourse with another person without consent of that person by use of threat or use of a dangerous weapon.” In other words, rape. COMPLETE MISHANDLING
So how did the university respond? According to Strong’s lawyer, Jeffrey Hawk, Strong will continue to attend classes as a freshman and has been moved to a different dormitory on campus. This is surprising, considering that there are still women living near his new dorm room. Does their safety count for nothing? Meanwhile, UH students did not get the normal security email notifying that a sexual assault had taken place – despite this being the normal protocol for every other reported sexual assault on campus. UH officials have said that the suspect was “captured and arrested, so he wasn’t
considered an immediate threat.” This shows a complete mishandling by the university. Not only did it fail to inform students, but Strong continues to live in UH Mānoa dorm rooms and continues to take classes on campus. The issue was taken lightly, as if
that we condone sexual assault, putting the health and welfare of students at risk for the sake of convenience,” UH Mānoa senior Alyssa Marie-Kau said. “Rape and sexual assault is never okay, nor is it justified. Once a person commits a crime of this heinous nature, one
Once a person commits a crime of this heinous nature, they violate the basic code of living in a society. the assault he committed did not leave lasting physical and psychological damage on anyone. How nice of UH Mānoa to pretend that nothing happened. I have enjoyed going to college here. I am grateful for the educational and personal opportunities provided by the campus. However, how can I feel safe at night knowing that a person who committed a felony is allowed to walk around campus freely? How can I feel safe when students were not informed of this incident by the university’s officials, but had to rely on third-party news sites? How can I feel safe when a man accused of rape could be living in my own dorm? NO JUSTICE
How the university handled the issue also does not give justice to the victim. Allowing Strong to continue with his daily routine gives the impression that UH Mānoa does not care about the students’ safety. The university is telling students that a rapist can commit a crime and still go to class in the morning. “It sends a message to the community at large and to UH students
violates the basic code of living in a society and should be stripped of their individual right to travel and their privileges at an institution. There is no justifiable reason that he needs to travel.” However, perhaps there is no reason to raise a fuss. Innocent until proven guilty, right? I’m a believer in the judicial system. I also believe that if Strong were accused of murder, robbery or any other felony, he would not be allowed to walk around campus and take classes as normal. Until then, I am strongly against the university’s policy of sweeping this issue under the table and acting like a heinous crime allegedly committed by one of its students never happened. The university mishandled this issue and it has added its name to a list of colleges that deals with sex assault inadequately and with intent to protect the alleged rapist – not the victim. There is a problem when a student can get expelled from school for plagiarism, but not for committing rape.

Every 51 minutes, a fatal driving accident involving alcohol impairment occurs in the United States, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. This is a result of poor choices by drinkers. Those who choose to consume alcohol need to make responsible decisions to not drink and drive. The consequences are irreversible, and there is never an excuse to drive while intoxicated. A SHAMEFUL INCIDENT
After the victory against Wyoming, the celebration of the Rainbow Warriors was short-lived after running back Joey Iosefa was arrested for driving under the influence the next morning. It is understandable that Iosefa and his teammates would be celebrating their victory the night before, but his irresponsible decisions are what cause fatal accidents that often involve innocent people. According to statistics by the U.S. Department of Transportation, more than 200 children under the age of 15 died in 2012 as a result of alcohol-related car crashes. It is a selfish decision to drive drunk knowing how dangerous it is, and it ignores the existence of others. The safety of other people is put in danger when an intoxicated individual decides to go behind the wheel. Although Iosefa did not get into an accident, it is not justifiable and fair that other people, who were following the correct rules of the road, were jeopardized as a result of his poor decision. His arrest is also shameful for the university and his team. These football players are the faces of the university who appear the most on the news and in newspapers. They need to understand the extent of their responsibility on and off the field.
Iosefa should have known and contemplated the possible consequence of his actions in reality and with respect to his future football career. He is one of the football team’s best players, who is included in the list of players vying for the 2014 Doak Walker Award – an award for the top college running back. His DUI arrest stains his image as a person and as a football player, and it hurt his chances of receiving the award. He may have been having fun because his team won, but that is not a valid reason. He should have known better. ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS
Today, there are many available services that cater to intoxicated drivers so that they don’t risk driving accidents. Iosefa disregarding these services further indicates that he made an irresponsible decision. Designated Drivers Hawai‘ i is a local service that operates to pick up intoxicated individuals and drive them and their vehicle home. Cab services are also just a phone call away, which he could have called that night. Other similar services such as Uber and Lyft also operate in O‘ahu, and he could have ordered a ride through his phone. Drinking is an enjoyable social activity, but it does come with the potential for fatal consequences. Having to ask to be driven home is not embarassing and it shows responsibility for yourself and for others. Putting other people’s lives and your own in danger, risking accidents, getting arrested and increasing insurance prices are the consequences of driving intoxicated. Remember, friends don’t let friends drive drunk.

Toga Beats UH professor and student create hip-hop that teaches Latin

”Toga Beats” began as extra credit and the secret recording of a lecture, but soon evolved into a full album. BRAD DELL FEATURES EDITOR
“Bō, bis, bit. Bō, bis bit. Bō, bis bit.” The seemingly random words are repeated by a deep, rumbling voice set to a hip-hop track. This track, which teaches the future tense endings of verbs in ancient Latin, is one of 30 in “Toga Beats,” an album created by a University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Associate Professor of Classics and his student. “Toga Beats” aims to teach ancient Latin through hip-hop. “Toga Beats” began as an extracredit assignment that was offered by Associate Professor in Classics Daniel Harris-McCoy to his Latin 101 class this past spring. “These poor guys had to memorize the darn [Latin tenses],” Harris-McCoy said. “So we were going over the future tense endings, -bō, -bis, -bit, and we were remarking on how musical it sounds. So I gave this challenge that if anyone wanted to put this to a beat, then go ahead and try.” Little did Harris-McCoy realize that Brendon Oshita, a junior studying biology, was secretly recording his lesson. “I wanted to give [the beats] that natural ‘ in-class feeling,’ so I recorded him teaching,” Oshita said.
“After class I told him, ‘I really want to do this extra credit. Can I just get a sample of you doing the future forms?’ And he did it. I just put the beats together on my computer. I took his vocals, chopped it up, and then lowered the pitch.” “I didn’t expect anyone to take up this challenge,” Harris-McCoy said.
cal, rhythmic quality to it. It’s interesting to see the ultra-modern and ancient side-by-side.” “Toga Beats” was created to be a study tool. Harris-McCoy believes that languages are best learned orally, rather than strictly by writing. “You’d probably feel like a huge dork, but I can imagine under the
“I feel like I sound absurd when I’m talking, so my part of the agreement was ‘make me sound cool,’ and he really did.” – DANIEL HARRIS MCCOY ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR IN CLASSICS
“It’s one of those challenges that, as a teacher, you kind of hope for the best, but Brendon turned out to be this incredibly accomplished DJ and rapper, and he said ‘I got this.’” Oshita said that the future tense track was created in just 10 to 20 minutes, and Harris-McCoy saw potential to take the music beyond his classroom. “When Brendon brought this in, I said ‘This is totally publishable,” Harris-McCoy said. “There may be things out there like this, but certainly not for classic languages like Latin. It gets stuck in your head like a song. It does have that lyri-
pressure of studying for a test, that listening to it, singing it, you’d probably enjoy studying Latin this way a lot more than repeatedly writing down terms on paper and just staring at that paper,” Harris-McCoy said. “Your brain shuts down when you’re writing.” Due to the potential as a study tool, Harris-McCoy sent “Toga Beats” to classics curriculum publishers. The track was picked up by Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers, Inc., a publisher of classics teaching materials. “We submitted it in late spring, and they already wanted [an album]
by August,” Harris-McCoy said. “I did all the rapping or singing and writing up the lyrics, then Brendon had to mix it down. We used the recording studio at the UH Center for Language and Technology.” Over the course of four sessions, each three hours, Harris-McCoy and Oshita created 30 tracks. The tracks correspond to all of the grammatical material in the order that the Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers, Inc. Latin textbook presents it, but it can be used for any Latin class. Oshita, who has been rapping since he was 12 years old, was well prepared for the challenge. “Making beats came along when I was about to start up college,” Oshita said. “I wanted to do it all on my own, and so I taught myself. I then developed my own style and applied it to this project.” All of the tracks were created with original instrumentals. The tracks feature “hip-hop flavor, slow jams and electronically-modified voices,” Oshita said. “He electronically-modified my voice,” Harris-McCoy said. Oshita believes that the project helped him achieve musical heights he wouldn’t have otherwise. “I really enjoyed working on this project with [Assistant] Professor Harris-McCoy, and I commend him for his organization and putting this all together,” Oshita said. “I never got to go far out with my beats like this, and it’s thanks to him.” The duo formed a bond beyond that of an average teacher-student relationship. “I’ve worked with a lot of students in the past in the form of teaching and student research and it’s always really gratifying,” Harris-McCoy said. “Usually a student-teacher relationship isn’t mutual, but this was truly equal and I feel that we combined our skills in a way that is truly unique.” The album was released by Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers, Inc. on Sept. 23. The album or individual tracks may be purchased at: bolchazy.com.
“Five Nights at Freddy’s” has taken the world by storm, with countless reaction videos on YouTube. This title, originally on PC, is now the number one download on the iTunes app chart. But, is the download worth the hype? The premise is simple; with animatronic animals and delicious food, Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza has become the preferred birthday destination for children. When the visitors and employees have gone home, mysterious activity occurs late into the night. The animatronic robots come alive and wander the halls of the restaurant. As the new night security guard of the popular pizza joint, you must survive the entire night (12 to 6 a.m.) as Fazbear and his friends make their way towards your location. This point-and-click game puts the player in a security room of the restaurant. A security camera system is provided to view the locations of the animatronics. Beware, the overuse of electricity will leave you vulnerable to attacks by the robots. Since there are no weapons in the game, the only defense is the doors to each side of the player that can be shut at anytime. This also uses electricity, so the more you close and open them, the more likely the limited power supply will run out. With jump scares, sounds of static electricity and ominously lit hallways, the game creates an eerie experience. Headphones will enhance the amount of terror due to the terrifying audio. This game is perfect for the Halloween enthusiasts looking for a mobile fright. RATING

THE CHOREOGRAPHERS AND DANCERS

Kennedy Theatre: Dancers push themselves to the limits in “Cash Variations.” ANGUSINA CAMPBELL CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Student choreographers and dancers will explore modern dance in this school year’s Fall Footholds at Kennedy Theatre. Through aerial dance, magic tricks and original music, students will portray a wide variety of themes that range from genetically modified organisms to family guardians, according to Jenny Mair, a second-year Master of Fine Arts (MFA) dance candidate.
FOOTHOLDS
Footholds is a semiannual (fall and spring) dance concert that showcases the work of undergraduate and graduate choreographers, senior dance major, Alexandra Hughes said. The performance will feature eight different thematic dances. “There is no common theme. It’s all very eclectic,” MFA candidate Wailana Simcock said. “It’s all very different parts of modern dance.”

UH choreographers explore modern dance
MONDAY, OCT. 27, 2014
“I have been dancing for 16 years,” Hughes said. “Looking back to my first dance classes as a child, I would have never imagined the progression I have made today. To be honest, at the age of five I had more interest in the stickers we got at the end of class than the dancing itself. However, throughout the years, dance has found a way into my being my identity. I am excited to share a small piece of my experience through Fall Footholds.” This will be Hughes’ 7th Footholds. This year’s Fall Footholds is particularly significant to her, as it will showcase her senior project for her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. “I’ve had a variety of roles; everything from hip-hop and classical Indian dance [to] performing blindfolded to running around with my pants hiked up to my armpits,” Hughes said. “My favorite part of Footholds is getting to warm up with the whole cast and crew before shows. We get to be silly and wild and then centered and focused.” By contrast, this is Simcock’s debut choreography piece in Footholds. However, he is no stranger to dance. “I have my own dance company named ‘Wai Company,” Simcock said. “When I first entered school three semesters ago, I already embarked on this project. In fact we performed a piece of this [at the] Edinburgh Fringe Festival [in Scotland].”
Mair has been participating in Footholds since last year, when she arrived at the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa.
energetic, mysterious dance in which the performers change timings of slow and fast paces along with a lot of jumping and floor work. ... It is exciting to watch.”
THE DANCES
There will be eight dances at Fall Footholds. Each dance will be approximately four minutes long, with the exception of Simcock’s, which will be about 12 minutes long. Simcock’s “Bananimal Dream” explores the issue of geneticallymodified organisms through dance theater and aerial dance. “I just want people to think about food. I just want people to just ask where the food is from, where it is grown, what’s in it,” Simcock said. “These basic questions, I think, really need to be looked at from a basic level.” Hughes’ “Cash Variations” portrays a man’s life “using four different bodies.” “This piece highlights the strength, finesse and agility of an all-male cast,” Hughes said. Mair has two pieces appearing in Footholds, “Future Remembered” and “In Between.” “I originally set [‘Future Remembered’] to a poem I wrote and then added music to the movement. It is a very personal work that the audience can take into their own lives and decide what it means to them,” Mair said. “‘In Between’ is a highly dynamic,
THE APPEAL
“Students, faculty [and] the public should come see this dance concert because it shows the original works of students here in this community,” Mair said. Hughes emphasized the importance of watching dance in person as opposed to the convenience of online mediums. “With the integration of social media into our everyday lives, viewing dance performances has become more accessible than ever,” she said. “However, there is something enchanting and inexplicable about watching live dance that cannot be captured through a video camera.” Given the wide variety of dancing at this year’s Fall Footholds, it is likely that everyone will find something to love.

The Turkey Pesto Melt ($7.95) has turkey, mushroom, red onion, Pestonnaise and Swiss cheese. KEN REYES SENIOR STAFF WRITER
The daughter plant of Fresh Café Kaka‘ako has rooted itself in downtown Honolulu and while it borrows from its mothership, it stands on its own feet among up-and-coming cafés in town. Located on Hotel and Nu‘uanu Street, Fresh Café Downtown is a prime spot for both business and party. This is where it differs from the Kaka‘ako location – the entire café is split into three bars: coffee bar, drink bar and dining room. The coffee bar (7-11 a.m.) is essentially where rushing commuters and early birds can flock in and
enjoy a hearty cup of coffee with pastries and other breakfast items. The dining room (11 a.m.-11 p.m.) feels more like your favorite casual restaurant with the addition of an outdoor patio. The drinks bar (4-11 p.m.) is where the businessman can trade his coffee for a glass of wine, giving a fresh feel to Chinatown’s nightlife. Compared to other bars, Fresh Café offers a friendlier vibe without sacrificing the ambiance of a party spot. Despite the new layout, the menu still features popular items from Kaka‘ako, such as the Turkey Pesto Melt ($7.95). This warm sandwich is light enough for convenience but heavy enough to satisfy. At
first glance, it looks overwhelming, but the turkey, pesto and cheese work well together. It is especially delightful on a croissant. As usual, Fresh Café never fails to make filling sandwiches, and the Turkey Pesto Melt is a testament of it. Innovation is also what Fresh Café is known for, both in regard to its design and its culinary creations. Their thin-crusted pizza speaks for itself. With a variety of toppings to choose from, The PopEye and The Philly seem to be the most eye-catching. However, The Philly ($9.95) has a lot more to boast about. Not only is it your classic steak and cheese combo, it also features some pizza
topping favorites – mushrooms, onions and peppers. The pizza itself is as good as a medium-sized pizza either for a famished individual or for a couple to share. Unlike other breads, the thin crust does not throw off topping proportions either. Crispy on the outside and soft throughout – just the way thin crust is supposed to be. While it could use an earthier, herb flavor, the steak and cheese is delicious as it is. Who came up with the idea of fried avocados ($7)? Don’t be fooled by the unique combination. Breaded all around, the textures of this appetizer come as a tease. The crunchy exterior does not pre-
pare you for the softness of the fruit. However, consuming it alone will simply not do. Try the Ginger Wasabi or Garlic Aioli dip with the avocado and allow it to show its versatility. The only qualm-worthy note about Fresh Café Downtown is how confusing it can be to enter the place as a first-timer, especially without knowledge of the different bars that comprise the café. However, this downtown plant is worth stepping out of your comfort zone for. The different dimensions of the café will lend itself to more prominence around downtown Honolulu in the future.

“Lihau’s Journey” will play at Dole Cannery A at 1:30 p.m. on Nov. 2 and at Koko Marina A at 8 p.m. on Nov. 7. CHANDLER BRUTTIG CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Adventure, spirituality and cultural reverence are illuminated in the short film, “Lihau’s Journey,” which will be premiering at the Hawai'i International Film Festival on Nov 2. University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa junior Leiomalama Tamasese Solomon stars as Lihau, a gentle-hearted yet fiercely intuitive hula dancer seeking to balance her cultural identity with modern day standards. The theme of this short film outlines the parallels between motivation and persistence and can be observed firsthand during Lihau’s personal quest to find “pono” – righteousness. By unraveling the complexities of modern-day standards through a physical journey that leads from the ocean to the
mountains, by abandoning commerce and social media, Lihau learns to connect the simplicity of the hula, the ‘āina (land) and her Hawaiian roots to her own inner spirit. On a smaller scale, Lihau is an individual who dares to change her distracted mindset while simultaneously strengthening her cultural roots. Yet on a greater scale, Lihau serves as a role model for all young people encountering their own journey from a cultural perspective and beyond. As modern-day standards may be interfering or changing traditional Hawaiian ideals, both Lihau and UH Mānoa student Solomon learn to contend with this occurrence in a similar way. Both women stay connected to their Hawaiian roots by dancing hula. “It is hard sometimes to feel completely connected to my Hawai-
ian culture in today’s fast-changing world, but hula is my way of staying connected to my culture and my kūpuna,” Solomon said. The challenge remains to keep the Beamer-Solomon 150-year hula legacy alive. In doing so, Solomon ignites her culture through the colorful and unique choreographies of her aunty, grandmother, great-grandmother and great-great grandmother. Together, generations within Solomon’s family share the role of kākau mo‘olelo (historian) “to preserve and perpetuate our method of dance in today’s society.” College student by weekday, cultural practitioner for a lifetime, Solomon is the inspiration behind the character of Lihau. Solomon’s mother, Malama Solomon, is “elated to have her daughter’s film premiere at the Hawaii International Film Festival, as Leioma-

lama’s performance culminates the hula legacy beyond what was expected.” Although hula is a dynamic dance representing ancient stories that evolve over generations, its true purpose is struggling to be recognized by the public. Solomon sees her film as a resource that will help to recover the true meaning of hula and stray away from its misrepresented commercialized view. “Hula is more than a tourist attraction. It is a living and breathing entity: It is a lifestyle,” Solomon said. To redirect the current perception of hula and reveal its true essence, Leiomalama emphasizes the significance of joining a hula hālau (school). A hula hālau not only establishes community and ‘ohana but enlightens dancers with Hawaiian cultural values. Solomon dances for her family hālau,
Beamer-Solomon Hālau O Po‘ohala - where hula dancers of all ethnicities are welcomed and taught with integrity by their kumu, Hulali Solomon Covington. Learning is by doing and participating; immersion within a hālau can bring enlightenment, cultural appreciation and identity. The concept of identity percolates over to “Lihau’s Journey.” Through motivation, patience and perseverance, Lihau gains a heightened confidence to project her Hawaiian identity in a modern society. This film not only demonstrates a connection between the timeless phenomenon of hula and an aging modern world, but also recognizes a young student’s triumph to preserve and perform an ancient art form.

An alcoholic milkshake is perfect for a horror movie marathon as you use blankets to block the terror. When the ingredients are measured out, combine them into a blender until a milkshake consistency forms. With a serving size of two, this treat is tailor-made to share with a significant other or even just a friend. Top it all off with a heaping pile of whipped cream and a light sprinkle of cinnamon to give an extra zest to this delectable dessert. This delicious treat can be made alcoholic and non-alcoholic.
A Halloween twist on the popular Angry Balls, this recipe adds a little kick to an already sweet cocktail. The only ingredients are a bottle of Angry Orchard Crisp Apple and a shot (1.5 oz.) of Goldschläger. A common claim is that the gold flakes in Goldschläger make small cuts in the throat to speed up the alcohol ingestion, hence the drink’s name. A slice of apple can be added for even more flavoring; just remember to check for razors.
The margarita is a renowned favorite for alcohol enthusiasts; however, it doesn’t really match a Halloween-themed party. Like most drinks, a little tinkering with ingredients can change this. For each glass, add a teaspoon of maraschino cherry syrup. Next, pour the instructed amounts of lime juice, tequila and triple sec into a cocktail shaker. Once the liquids are well- mixed with one another, carefully pour the contents equally among four glasses. Be sure to pour gently. Once poured, stab a straw/mixer through a cherry while adding a ¼ cup of club soda.
Key:
Non-alcoholic drink
For those individuals who are underage or prefer not to drink alcohol, here’s a fun way to make a bland drink extravagant. First decide what juice or fruit punch you would like to have. Grab two large bowls, one larger than the other. Pour the refrigerated drink of choice into the smaller of the two bowls. Pour water into a rubber glove ahead of time and place in a freezer. Once frozen, remove the glove to unveil a hand-shaped ice cube. Place dry ice in the larger unused bowl. Once water is added to the dry ice bowl, quickly place the punch bowl inside to sit atop of t h e i ce . T h i s w i l l g i ve t h e presentation a creepy witch’s cauldron. Alcoholic drink

The bull in the China shop
LYLE AMINE / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
Battaglia is the only returning starter from last year’s defense, which posted eight shutouts in 16 games. DAVID MCCRACKEN ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR
As her teammates walk off the practice field Wednesday morning, junior defender Lidia Battaglia takes her time as she limps toward the water cooler. Battaglia isn’t injured; she just plays a tough brand of soccer. “When I was first hired, I went to the Disney Showcase just two weeks on the job,” head coach Michele Nagamine said. “I flew out to Florida and there was one West Coast team playing there and it was Beach F.C. so I said ‘Well, I’m already here. Might as well check how they do against East Coast competition.’” One player who caught the eye of Nagamine was a 5’7 midfielder out of Santa Monica, California who controlled the game from the getgo. Her name was Lidia Battaglia. “Lidia just jumped off the page to me,” Nagamine said. “She was very clean and she connected all of her passes. I called her the bull in the china shop; she kinda bulldozed through people in the middle and I was like ‘Wow, this is a kid who’s gonna translate well on the next level.’ I started following her around, kind of stalking her a little bit at all the different tournaments, and it was a good match for all of us from the beginning.” To have the support and trust of her head coach left Battaglia struggling to find the words to express what it means to her. “It’s surreal,” Battaglia said. “I would have never expected this
type of encouragement from when I started here as a freshman.” When Battaglia arrived at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa as a freshman in 2012, she never expected to see the field so early and often. She definitely didn’t foresee herself playing as a central defender. “I came in as a center midfielder and didn’t expect to get much playing time,” Battaglia said. “I kind of got thrown into the center back role and kind of just developed my defending. It was kinda cool to get the type of recognition that I did
being the anchor of the defense, but also that of a mentor for her fellow teammates. “Personally, I look up to her as a role model,” freshman defender Paige Okazaki said. “In a couple years, I want to be in her position. I know that she has helped me out a lot since I came in because I didn’t feel too comfortable and felt like I was kind of out of my league, but she helped me get used to everything and everybody and really put me under her wing.” Battaglia took it upon herself to lead the young defensive line this season, and has seen her teammates step up in a big way. “I know that they’re all fully capable,” Battaglia said. “They’ve grown so much in the past 15 games, and Paige has got so much more to do but she’s already at that level. She’s gonna be amazing.” Nagamine felt that Battaglia was worrying too much about the new players that would step up to play in defense at the beginning of this season, and felt that she was putting too much of that responsibility on her shoulders. “She put a lot of pressure on herself because she knew she was our only starting defender returning,” Nagamine said. “She put pressure on herself to try and reshape the defense, and I think that the pressure was not very good for her at the beginning of the season. She kind of got in her own head and was not playing to her true potential because she was so worried about everybody else. But when she started to embrace the fact that the people around her were actually pretty good and it was just going to take some time, it all just became a part of the learning curve.” Battaglia is a physical and aggressive defender, according to many of the Rainbow Wahine that step onto the field. However, there

when I never even played the position before. In freshman year, it was a little scary. In the first couple games, I was playing with juniors and seniors and I was the only freshman. It was really scary. Now, I would hate it if coach [Nagamine] ever put me back there [in midfield] because I really love being a center back and playing that role.” Battaglia is the only returning starter from last season’s defensive line that saw three starting senior defenders graduate. The role that Battaglia plays for this young Rainbow Wahine defensive line isn’t just
is more to Battaglia than what appears in a box score after a 90minute match. “She’s a very intense person,” Nagamine said. “She brings a very competitive edge to our team, she hates to lose, she gets down on herself and she’s her own biggest critic. She’s very demanding and she’s constantly striving for excellence and she’s been just a blessing to have. I’m so glad that she ended up here. She’s really helped us reshape and reform our program over the last three years.” Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

UH defeated Cal Poly in straight sets in its return to action on Oct. 24.
No rest for the Wahine ANDREW SWITAJ STAFF WRITER
Although October is generally filled with connotations of pumpkins and Halloween, the Wahine Volleyball Team see the month in a different light. At the end of this month, the Wahine will be halfway through their conference play and will begin the second round of games against UC Irvine and Cal State Fullerton this upcoming weekend. October has been a strange month for the Rainbow Wahine. They had flight troubles to California earlier this month and Hurricane Ana cancelled their plans to host a volleyball clinic on the island of Moloka‘i. Despite the various events that led to a large gap in scheduling, head coach Dave Shoji has seen it all before. “It is part of the game having to go on the road every other weekend,” Shoji said. ”[It is] something we have to deal with but it’s not going to affect us really … [We] were set to play in Moloka‘i for a scrimmage but the hurricane forced [the team] to change that but they practiced anyways like any other day.” The break in the action probably could not have come at a better time for the Wahine as this season has been one plagued by injuries. Moreover right before the break, the Wahine had their 6-game win streak come to a halt losing consecutively on the road to CSUN and Long Beach State. Sarah Mendoza, the starting libero for the team, believes that the break will help the team refocus. “Coming back with two losses on the road gives us time to go over what happened and did not happen,” Mendoza said. The Wahine focused on fine-tuning skills and their relationship with each
other during the off week. Communication is one of the most important aspects in volleyball, according to the team, and it all comes down to building a relationship with the player on your left and right. “Once you feel confident being next to a certain person [on the court] you can start to build that relationship quickly,” Mendoza said. Besides fixing mechanics during practice, there are other benefits to have a pause of games for the team. “I think it gives us the time to individually work on our skills but also gives us a break where we can get back into the schedule with school,” Mendoza said. Although the performance of the players on the court may be important to many fans, the coaching staff of the volleyball team emphasizes the importance of schoolwork. Being able to catch up in school has other benefits besides pleasing the professor. “I think you definitely play better once you feel that all your school work is done and prepared for everything else,” Mendoza explained. “It gives us time to work as individuals and come together for the next game.” Although there are definite positives to a break in the action, Shoji is wary of the negatives that come with too much downtime between games. “You never really want to have too big of break but that’s just a quirk in the schedule,” Shoji said. “[But it] allowed us to heal up some injuries too which will help the team.” Shoji plans to undergo a midseason evaluation where “we might even see some changes” to the starting lineup, proving that nothing is set in stone for the Rainbow Wahine.

How Nevada sapped the life out of Hawai‘i’s homecoming DAVID MCCRACKEN ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR
Football is a game about points and possession of the football, which is where the Rainbow Warrior football team fell short on Saturday night against the Nevada Wolf Pack. BATTLE OF POSSESSION
Nevada (5-3, 2-2) dominated the time of possession battle against Hawai‘i (2-6, 1-2), winning by a margin of 37:26 to 22:34. “This is a typical college football game with a field position battle and a possession time battle and they took advantage of it and we didn’t,” Chow said. The Wolf Pack offense stayed on the field for the majority of the second half, accumulating over 24 minutes of possession juxtaposed with the Warriors five minutes and 18 seconds. “They just kept the football … We can’t score if we don’t have the ball,” Chow said. GROUND AND POUND
During their 24 minutes on the field for the second half, the Wolf Pack grounded out 190 of its 300 rushing yards after the halftime interval. Nevada running backs James Butler and Don Jackson combined for 163 rushing yards on 36 carries to set the mark for the highest rushing yardage total allowed by Hawai‘ i’s defense this season. “I feel like we came out a little flat in the second half,” Warrior linebacker Simon Poti said. “We should’ve came out with a
little more fire. They just ran the rock on us.” Running the “rock” for Nevada was quarterback Cody Fajardo, who accumulated 133 yards on 23 carries and found the end zone twice on running plays. “He’s a nice player,” Chow said. “He’s dangerous, he’s smart, he’s a nice young man as well, and we knew that he was going to be a factor in the ball game. We needed to contain him a little better than we did.” The Warriors surrendered 300 rushing yards to an opponent for the first time all season and have conceded 583 rushing yards in their last two outings. “This week we were kinda expecting him [Fajardo] to run the ball a lot but I feel like he did a really good job of just mixing it up; handing off, keeping it, just to keep us a little off balance but it’s something that we did work on in practice this week,” Poti said. “They kind of ground and pound sometimes. They do a pretty good job of just keeping the clock running and keeping their offense on the field.” Warrior running back Steven Lakalaka led his team in rushing for the second consecutive week, totaling 55 yards on 15 carries for a 3.7 yards per carry average. Lakalaka did score a touchdown in the dying moments of the fourth quarter, but has gone through a slump of late, rushing for a combined 189 yards the last three games; all of which have been against Mountain West Conference opposition.
Beyond the Score
LOSING GROUND
Hawai‘i jumped out to a 10-point lead in the second quarter against Nevada but surrendered 26 consecutive points until the dying minutes of the game. “We need to score touchdowns and not field goals,” Chow said. “Our defense played very well in the first half and that allowed us to get ahead of them.” Nevada has now beaten Hawai’i four consecutive times since their last loss to the Warriors back in 2010. The Warriors haven’t had much to celebrate on homecoming nights since Norm Chow took over as head coach in 2012, losing all three homecoming matchups during his time in charge. Quarterback Ikaika Woolsey didn’t have much success through the air against the Wolf Pack defense, finishing the game with 18 completions on 32 pass attempts for a 56 percent completion rate, nearly seven percent higher than his season average of 49.8 percent. “It’s extremely frustrating,” Woolsey said. “They’re [Nevada] kind of a vanilla defense; they stay true to what they do, they’re good at what they do. It’s us. It’s just us shooting ourselves in the foot.” “Coach said [after the game] we just need to learn what we need to learn tonight and we just need to focus on Utah State because we still are bowl eligible if we win the rest of our games and that’s something positive. We can go 7-6 and get to a bowl game and that’s not something that’s crazy or out of this world for us.”

In its season opener, the women’s swimming and diving team fell to San Diego State last Friday on the road by a score of 157-132. The highlight of UH’s performance came from freshman Kira Webster who won a pair of freestyle events as an individual. Although Webster won both the 500-and-1000 meter freestyle events, the team itself won six of the 16 competitions in the meet.

The University of Hawai‘ i women’s golf team finished the Rainbow Wahine Invitational in seventh place at Leilehua golf course. As a team, the ‘Bows shot 47-over-par for a 911 total score. Sophomore Izzy Leung led the way for the ‘Bows with a 10-overpar 222, good for 17th place overall. Three strokes behind her was sophomore Raquel Ek, who shot a 229 and finished in 22nd. Vanderbilt cruised to victory in the tournament, finishing a combined 2-under par for a 862 total, and 34 strokes ahead of runner-up Boise State.
After a 12-day layoff, the Rainbow Wahine volleyball team was able to bounce back and snap a two-game losing streak, breezing past Cal Poly in straight sets. After the ‘Bows cruised past the Mustangs in the first two sets, 25-17 and 25-18, Cal Poly put up a great fight in the third set. The Mustangs led for most of the final set, but Hawai‘ i closed strong, winning seven of the final eight points to steal the final set and the match.
Coming off a disappointing road loss to San Diego State, the Rainbow Warrior football team was looking to bounce back in its homecoming game against Nevada. But the Wolf Pack had other ideas, charging past the Warriors in the second half to hand Hawai‘i a 26-18 loss. It’s also the team’s third straight homecoming loss under head coach Norm Chow. Nevada racked up 274 of its 427 yards of total offense in the second half to overcome a 10-6 halftime deficit.
The Rainbow Wahine were officially eliminated from any chance of postseason play after falling to UC Davis 2-1 in their home finale. The loss put a damper on Senior Night, which honored six departing seniors following the match. Alexis Colacchio, Korinne Estrada, Ashley Haruki, Hayden Gibson, Krystal Pascua and Olivia Stanford will each complete their eligibility at the end of the season. Hawai‘ i will conclude its season on the road with matches against UC Irvine and Cal State Northridge.
The UH men’s basketball team was selected by media to finish fifth in the Big West Conference standings this season. The poll, which was released on Oct. 23, involved media members of the conference ranking the nine Big West basketball programs and where they would finish. UC Irvine was selected to repeat as conference champion as the team returns four starters from last year.

Reloading the guns New arms look to make quick impact
LYLE AMINE / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
Pitchers Kanani Aina Cabrales (left) and Brittany Hitchcock (right) are hoping to rejuvenate a pitching staff that struggled last season. JEREMY NITTA SENIOR STAFF WRITER
Last season, the Rainbow Wahine softball team struggled to a 22-28 record; their first losing season in 10 years. The team was largely plagued by an inexperienced pitching staff that was thinned by injuries and anchored by two young pitchers with a combined eight career starts. This season, the pitching staff has been fortified by a sophomore transfer and a redshirt freshman, and the hope is that they will be able to re-energize a unit that posted a 4.78 combined ERA. CLEARED TO FIRE
The first pitcher hoping to make an impact for the Rainbow Wahine was actually on the roster last season. When she entered fall camp last year, Brittany Hitchcock was poised to make a strong push for a starting job in the rotation as a freshman, but a back injury put her on the shelf. When she found out surgery was required, her season ended before surgery started when she redshirted. This year, Hitchcock is fully healed, and despite last year’s misfortunes, she is grateful for what she was able to gain as a redshirt. “I think last season was a true blessing in disguise,” Hitchcock said. “Sitting and watching, I learned a ton. I got to see what the coaches wanted from the players, or what players maybe weren’t doing last year. I got to see what I have to do, both on and off the field, and how to pitch and work
around batters, and just a lot of behind the scenes stuff. I feel I wouldn’t have been able to learn all this otherwise.” Still, the native of Huntington Beach, California, is eager to finally suit up for the ‘Bows. “I’m so excited,” Hitchcock said. “This is something I’ve dreamed of my whole life. Even just pitching a bit in a scrimmage made me more excited, because this is what I’ve wanted to do since I was 8 years old.” Head coach Bob Coolen, who expressed disappointment last season when it was announced that Hitchcock would miss the year, seemed excited to be getting her back this year. “Brittany returning to form is a main focus for us,” Coolen said. “Brittany brings a whole different dimension as a down-ball pitcher, and we’re hoping that she’ll be able to keep the ball in the ballpark. Plus, she throws a lot of strikes, which is something we struggled with last year.” FROM GEORGIA, WITH ALOHA
The other newcomer hoping to boost the team’s pitching is sophomore Kanani Aina Cabrales. Last season, Cabrales pitched for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, logging a 7-10 record with a 5.70 ERA.
