Sierra Leone ends threeday Ebola lockdown A three-day nationwide lockdown was lifted from Sierra Leone on Sept. 21. It was issued in order to help stop the spread of Ebola. No one was allowed to leave their homes for three days, during which volunteers went door-todoor informing people of the virus. According to the Ministry of Health and Sanitation, more than 75 percent of the targeted 1.5 million households were reached and educated. Although this three-day lockdown has ended nationally, it will continue in hotspot communities across the country. SOURCE: CNN NEWS

Lunadong fossils support earlier modern human theory The discovery of two Lunadong teeth have led scientists to consider the possibility that modern humans came out of Africa earlier than originally thought. The teeth, discovered in a cave site located in Guangxi, southern China, were assigned to the modern Homo sapiens and may be as old as 126,000 years. Christopher Bae, a paleoanthropologist at UH Mānoa, says that these ﬁndings show that an earlier migration out of Africa took place 60,000 years ago. He also said that it suggests that the dispersion of humans out of Africa happened several times over a longer time period. SOURCE: UH NEWS

Report finds Ebola cases could pass 20,000 in two months

UH Mānoa mechanical engineer creates new cell By early November, the num- sorting method

ber of Ebola cases could surpass 20,000 if the rate of transmission is not reduced, according to a report by the World Health Organization. More than 58,000 people are infected and 2,800 people have died from this disease, according to the WHO’s ofﬁcial count. The researchers found that every person who gets infected in Sierra Leone infects about two others. This rate is slightly lower in Guinea and Liberia, the two other countries that are affected. Recently, the United States launched an effort to build treatment facilities in Liberia, an effort that will cost $750 million. SOURCE: WASHINGTON POST

A new method for sorting cells has been developed by UH Mānoa College of Engineering mechanical engineer Yi Zuo. The method is useful for studying bacterial cells and microalgae, and could also be used in any ﬁeld that needs to process a large amount of microbial samples. While today’s existing cell-sorting methods rely on single-cell analysis platform, Zuo’s method sorts different cell populations by tuning their solubility. It also relies on a measurement principle that sorts cells according to their surface free energy characteristics. SOURCE: UH NEWS

Lawmakers with the Hawai‘ i Women’s Legislative Caucus met with Honolulu’s chief of police Sept. 23 to discuss the domestic violence policy after lawmakers became interested in a video of an HPD sergeant hitting a woman and found out that no arrests or reports were made.

Students lose stipends to financial aid The campus is now collecting volunteer pay due to new accounting data NOELLE FUJII NEWS EDITOR

Students receiving financial aid up to their cost of attendance now have to pay back their stipends to the campus financial aid office. According to Jodie Kuba, director of Financial Aid Services, the ofﬁce has always asked students to report any ﬁnancial assistance – or any aid received because of post-secondary enrollment – they are receiving. That includes stipends from on-campus volunteer positions at Mānoa’s chartered student organizations, such as the Associated Students of the University of Hawai‘ i, Ka Leo and the Campus Center Board, which depend on hundreds of students and pay out hundreds of thousands of

to track most student funding. “Financial aid, at the end of the month, gets the Kuali report; we reflect their stipend as a resource and adjust their other financial aid accordingly, which may cause the reversal of their financial aid on the Banner SIS,” Kuba said in an email interview. “Now the student will owe the institution for the reversal of financial aid.” Robinson Bucaneg, a senior in mechanical engineering and a member of the campus’s Student Activity and Program Fee Board, is one student who is affected by this change. At the beginning of the spring 2014 semester, Financial Aid Services put a hold on his account for $400 and notified him that he owed the money. “I contacted the ﬁnancial aid

dollars in stipends each year. Kuba adds that if a student receives a stipend and his or her financial need is reduced, his or her aid that was based on financial need will also be reduced. Stipends are considered estimated financial assistance, according to the financial aid office. In fall 2013, the office began to receive monthly reports through the university’s Kuali Financial System that listed students receiving stipends and began adjusting students’ aid at that time. Approximately 12,000 students receive financial aid at Mānoa, according to Kuba, and roughly 10 percent of them receive stipends. According to Jill Shigano, a staff member for Student Life Business Services, approximately 265 students receive over $480,000 in stipends a year from the fiscal office. PAYING BACK STIPENDS

Stipends are paid through Mānoa’s fiscal office as a paper check. They do not go through the Banner Student Information System (SIS), which financial aid uses

ofﬁce and they proceeded to tell me that now they’re counting stipends as income,” he said. “I had to essentially pay back that money, which I thought was very odd.” After questioning financial aid, Bucaneg discovered that the policy had always been there, but the office has just started to enforce it. The money he owed was the amount he received in stipends the previous semester. “I don’t think they really made that policy clear. I don’t think they’re making it clear to everyone else,” he said, adding he never received notification that financial aid was enforcing the policy other than through his contact with financial aid. According to Kuba, the office has always asked students to report the resources they receive. The office then follows up with an email to them. The email states that if students receive other forms of financial assistance in addition to those in the office’s Award Offer – such as assistance from Kamehameha Schools, the UH Foun-

dation, stipends, fellowships and resident advisor stipends, they must notify FAS. Students may receive adjustments to their awards to reflect the increase in their resources, as mandated by federal regulations. “Failure to notify FAS may delay your financial aid disbursement and/or may require you to repay the university,” said the email that Kuba provided. A POSSIBLE WORKAROUND?

“We’re volunteering our time and the stipend is essentially supposed to be like a reward for the time we put in,” Bucaneg said. He doesn’t think stipends should be considered income, but if there’s no way for financial aid to change its policy, he thinks it should be made clear that a stipend could possibly jeopardize a student’s financial aid package. “If I knew that, then I wouldn’t have accepted my financial aid in full so that I wouldn’t have to pay it back later on. I would have been able to prepare for it, essentially,” he said. According to Kuba, if the stipend was used to cover additional expenses not already reflected in the student’s cost of attendance, the department that issued the stipend can provide a memo of expenses associated with the stipend. This would increase the student’s cost of attendance, which would allow the student to receive additional funding and possibly not affect the aid they already received. Students would not have to pay back any funds. “If the stipend does not have any associated expenses tied to it, the student would need to check with our office for options on increasing their cost of attendance,” she said. “However, increases to cost of attendance are limited.” Kuba added that the ofﬁce allows increases to a student’s cost of attendance for items such as cost for a computer, out of pocket medical expenses, childcare expenses, air fare travel costs for outerisland and non-resident students. “The student would need to ask what is possible and provide the necessary documentation/ receipts,” she said. According to Kuba, the number of times a student will need to pay back his or her sti-

pend depends on if that student informs the office ahead of time. “If the student tells us ahead of time the total amount of their stipends for the academic year, then we would only need to adjust once,” she said. “If the student does not inform us, we use the monthly Kuali report and if every month, the student receives a stipend and it affects their other financial aid, we will adjust each month accordingly.” Bucaneg said the office should have made this clear from the beginning. “I would’ve prepared for it or I would’ve just taken my stipend and put it on the side because I would have just known that oh, I’m going to have to pay this back anyway,” he said. “Part of me has even considered just rejecting my stipend and not receiving it at all just so I don’t have to worry about this in the future.”

UH Grad. finalist in National Geographic competition Graduate finalist in National Geographic competition Parcehta said that the cable is just over 300 feet long, which should be enough to make it to the bottom of the vent.

MATHEW URSUA STAFF WRITER

Carolyn Parcheta and her team of roboticists are on the hunt for $50,000 of National Geographic money to map volcanic vents on Hawai‘i Island in a groundbreaking way. Parcheta, a University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa alumna, spent last week shifting between second and third place in National Geographic’s Expedition Granted competition, where voters determine who wins $50,000 by voting for their favorite projects. Parcheta is up against nine other ﬁnalists. Voting was scheduled to close Monday just before 6 p.m. Hawai‘ i Standard Time.

LOSING MIGHT NOT SPELL THE END

FROM LOS ANGELES TO HILO AND BEYOND

Parcheta said $50,000 would be enough for her five-person team to take several trips from Los Angeles to Hawai‘ i’s active volcano, Kilauea. At Kilauea, they would use a wall climbing robot to capture three-dimensional, computerized images inside volcano vents. The robotics team consists of one California Institute of Technology undergraduate and three NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) employees. Parcheta, who got her doctorate degree from University of Hawai‘ i, has been doing postdoctoral work at JPL in Pasadena, California since February. “I’m working with a robotics team that specializes in rockclimbing robots,” Parcheta said in a phone interview. Parcheta’s team previously built as many as four robots that can climb walls. “They needed a field site to test. I needed a robot to climb walls,” Parcheta said. In May, Parcheta tested her robot on Hawai‘ i Island. She said it was an overall success, but that there were ups and downs. “I’m not an engineer and I made a few mistakes,” Parcheta said, “The robot didn’t move as good as I wanted it to. We had trouble getting data to the computer.” Over the summer, Parcheta and her team redesigned the robot. “It moves like we want it to move, and it can take better data,” Parcheta said. Michael Garcia, a UH geology professor, said there are many reasons to study volcanoes. “They’re a threat to people and property. They’re fascinating things. They’re a part of nature

and we’re curious about how they work,” Garcia said. Garcia said volcanology is useful. Volcanologists are working with civil defense ofﬁcials on Hawai‘i island, where lava was inching toward houses in Pahoa. “The volcanologists are trying to provide them with information on what they can expect,” Garcia said. Parcheta’s wall-climbing robot is just one of the new approaches volcanologists are using to learn more,

and scientists continue developing new tools to monitor volcanoes. One tool is infrared cameras. Garcia said their thermal images help volcanologists better understand the dynamics of lava ﬂows. “But volcanology continues to be an imprecise science,” he said. “No matter how good our tools are, we struggle with the moody personality of volcanoes.”

COMMON COMPONENTS FOR UNCOMMON ENGINEERING

The 3-D imager’s raw data will be backed up on an SD card and an Ethernet cable will enable a laptop computer to communicate with the robot. The technology used for the imager is similar to the Xbox Kinect device. “The robot needs to be steered by commands on the computer, which it receives over an Ethernet cable attaching the two,” Parcheta said.

Garcia said he’s been close to the erupting Kilauea. “I used to go there and spend nights,” Garcia said. “There’s nothing more spectacular than watching a fountain of lava 400 meters in the sky. It was a glowing torch you could see, smell and feel.” Parcheta remembers watching a National Geographic video clip as a sixth grader of someone taking a rock sample from a volcano. That’s when she realized she wanted to work near volcanoes. “I ended up becoming a volcanologist,” she said. The competition is tight, as she is up against other finalists with projects like “Sharing America’s Marrow,” which is a bone marrow drive seeking to cross all 50 states that could help cancer patients. Others include projects to save rhinos from extinction or mitigate poverty by giving needy areas bio-toilets for composting and sanitation. “I’ve certainly been up and down in the rankings,” Parcheta said. She said that there are one or two other grants she can apply for if she doesn’t win the $50,000 from National Geographic. “I don’t have many options,” Parcheta said. “My position as a postdoc limits what I can apply for.” Despite the lack of options, she is readying an application for another exploration challenge, this one through Foundation Mamont. She said other options include funding from National Science Foundation and NASA, but that those organizations usually look for larger proposals. “My team and I will figure something out because we are ready to test the upgraded robot, and we can’t until we find a way to get them there,” Parcheta said. Parcheta said win or lose, she plans to visit her alma mater Gateway High School in early December to deliver a series of lectures to tell them about volcanoes in exchange for help with voting and supporting the project.

Burns School of Medicine and transitioning to employees from my department,” Noffsinger said in interview with Ka Leo. “We’ll also have similar transitioning at the libraries. We hope to have that all completed by the end of fiscal year 2015.” The transition at the Kaka‘ako sites and the libraries will increase the number of positions for his staff. However, he’s unsure of the number of positions needed. “That number hasn’t been identified yet nor the type of positions,” he said. “(But) we’ll have more growth in the department from the change.” FILLING POSITIONS

Noffsinger said the department created two new positions in order to facilitate increased training of field officers and assist with administrative tasks. “We’ve created a sergeant position to really focus in on much of the infrastructure side of the department. That sergeant will help us with our process of accreditation our training function and other administrative tasks,” he said. “We’ve (also) been able to create a new captain position.” Noffsinger said the changes in these positions are self-funded by the department. “We’ve had the resources, so we’ve not had to ask anyone for additional financial support in doing these things,” he said. Noffsinger said the added positions give the department a clear delineation between administrative

staff and field officers. “The (captain and sergeant positions) focuses on developing our policies and procedures,” he said. “They provide the infrastructure for the field.” Noffsinger said the department is in the process of filling existing vacancies for field positions. “The core of the department in terms of security officers in the field has remained the same,” he said. “We haven’t had any increase or decrease in positions authorized for that.” Sarah Rice, community programs manager for DPS said in an email the UH Mānoa DPS consists of 51 department personnel: one chief, five administrative and support personnel and 46 uniformed staff. DEPARTMENT REBRANDING, COMMUNITY POLICING AND PARTNERSHIPS

Noffsinger said he was successful in working with the appropriate people on campus to change the name of the department from the University of Hawai‘ i Campus Security and Emergency Management Department to the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Department of

Public Safety. “That change was made to be more reﬂective of the depth and breadth of the services that the department provides for the community,” he said. “Over time we’ve grown beyond the traditional security organization. We also had a huge role to play within the year of emergency preparedness, emergency management, as well as the traditional security roles but other public kinds safety as well.” Noffsinger said community polic-

said. “Safety is everyone’s responsibility. It’s about problem solving, engaging the community and becoming a part of the process of safety.” As part of the policy, the department allocated one sergeant and two ofﬁcers directly into community policing services for the community on campus. Noffsinger said the department has a partnership with the University of Hawai‘i Women’s Center. “Sexual assault awareness is something the department needs

to be very engaged with the community,” he said. “We have a partnership with the Women’s Center to help develop some internal policies with my staff as well as with their staff in developing prevention awareness programming for the campus.” Leslie Cabingabang, program coordinator for Prevention, Warning and Understanding (PAU) Violence, said the partnership between the Women’s Center and the DPS is important for faculty, staff and students in regards to sexual assault and sexual violence. “In the instance that faculty or students are victims of sexual assault or violence, it’s important for the DPS ofﬁcers to be properly trained in the event of an incident,” Cabingabang said. SECURITY AUDITS

Noffsinger said the department will begin conducting site-speciﬁc security audits. “(We’ll be conducting these audits from) a physical security standpoint and an operational

security standpoint,” he said. Rice said physical security involves evaluating a particular building for security and safety. “This involves checking access controls (doors and windows properly close and lock), emergency lighting is present and adequate, any closed-circuit TV systems are in proper working order, etc,” she said in an email. “ The goal is to ensure that they physical security components meet the needs and best practices of building security.” Rice added that operational security involves working with building occupants to discuss safety and security from a user standpoint, including protocols and policies for safety. “Every building may have different practices depending on its size, layout, and staff, but our security audits provide personalized recommendations to meet the needs of the building/occupants,” Rice said.

Hamilton to wrap up flood restoration after 10 years Exhibit will showcase efforts ELY MADDEN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

An exhibit showcasing the restoration efforts of thousands of maps and photographs damaged in a devastating ﬂood nearly 10 years ago will be on display at Hamilton Library starting next month. The title of the exhibit, “Finding the Silver Lining of the Mānoa Flood” will be in two parts – one showing the process of the restoration, which will be held in the Bridge Gallery, and another showing the rare maps and photographs that were saved, which will be in the Moir Reading Room, according to Lynn Davis, head of the preservation department at the library. In October 2004, roughly 10 inches of rain fell in a 12-hour period causing the banks of the Mānoa stream to overﬂow and send a two-foot wall of water through the campus. Hamilton Library and the Biomedical Science building were hit the hardest with the water mark in the library basement reported at six feet off the ground. The water also caused a class of students to smash through the basement’s windows to escape the rising water, according to a 2004 Honolulu Advertiser article.

AFTER THE FLOOD

The Heritage Preservation, an institution that helps with the conservation of cultural heritage in the United States, reported that approximately 350,000 aerial pictures and rare maps were damaged and destroyed in the ﬂood, some of which dated back 400 years. THE RECOVERY

Davis has been leading the restoration efforts since 2004 and said her team has spent the last 10 years tirelessly working on this project. With the help of Belfor USA, a company specializing in disaster recovery, they have managed to restore 57,000 maps and around 76,000 aerial photos. Davis gives a lot of the credit for the success of what they were able to save to the measures taken by the library. “The actions that the library took from the beginning were very aggressive and responsible as far as making sure we would be able to care for and make available cultural property in the future,” shesaid. According to Everett Wingert, a geography professor, many people, including him and his wife, helped with the initial clean-up. They were there for six days carrying the damaged maps and photographs out of the library. He recalls that almost

lost, he sees this flood as a learning experience for the rest of the world. “After everything that was lost there ... map and photo libraries all over the world knew about that and it initiated a big process of preservation; scanning basically all of the materials in the map libraries,” Wingert said. “For example, the Boston Public Library created a machine to scan all of the materials in their map library after they learned of the flood.” Davis also prefers to not dwell on the destruction but instead see what has been created and to look towards the future. “Lots of really good things came out of this and that’s what I want to focus on: what’s been saved and what we’ve been able to accomplish. ...

Plans for flood mitigation still underway ZOE WINBURN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Although it’s been almost 10 years since the 2004 flood hit the University of Hawaii at Mānoa campus and the surrounding neighborhoods, plans for flood mitigation are still underway. The city, state, and campus have their own projects. “I would hope that the flood helps them understand how important it is to do maintenance on that stream regularly because part of the reason it flooded so bad is because, actually, they hadn’t been doing maintenance on it, at least not on a regular basis,” said UH English professor Christopher Kelsey, who was living in the valley at the time of the flood and saw its destruction. On Oct. 30, 2004, an intense thunderstorm hit Mānoa Valley. The rain gauge at Lyon Arboretum in Upper Mānoa Valley recorded 3.72 inches of rainfall in one hour. The National Weather Service considers anything above .30 inches per hour heavy rain. IMPROVING WOODLAWN BRIDGE

The State Department of Land and Natural Resources’ ‘Woodlawn Bridge Improvement Project,’ which is currently in the design and planning stage, aims to improve the water capacity and ﬂow at the Woodlawn Bridge. The planning state is anticipated to be completed late next year but the construction schedule is not set at this time,

according to DLNR public information specialist Deborah Ward. During the 2004 flood, the Mānoa stream overflowed at East Mānoa Road and Woodlawn Drive bridges, due to debris blockage, which reduced the bridges’ capacity, according to a 2006 report put out by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) in the aftermath of the 2004 flood. “Much of the area that got

flooded downstream of Woodlawn Bridge, including the University of Hawai‘ i, was not identified as a high risk area on FEMA’s maps,” Ward, said. “It is therefore important that property owners along stream channels and drainage ways understand their responsibility to keep the drainage ways on their property clear and to refrain from storing or dumping vegetation cutting or other debris into these drainage ways.” However, even without bridge blockages, according to the 2006 USACE report, the Mānoa stream in its current form does not have “sufﬁcient channel capacity” to

then be used to create a Chief of Engineer’s Report. To move on to construction, they will have to send the Chief of Engineer’s Report to Congress and then gain congressional authorization for construction, which is not guaranteed. Construction is also complicated by the fact that the land is owned by multiple entities. “Maintenance is key,” said Gary Brown, a long-time Mānoa resident. “Hawai‘ i is notorious for not setting up a regular maintenance program for a lot of its public works projects.” “For the stream, even if they drenched it once, they would have to come back and check it preferably yearly before our regular storm season. You don’t want to wait till a storm comes by every couple decades and you’re totally caught off guard.” According to the 2006 Army Corps study, the flood caused an estimated $5 million dollars in damages to 120 homes in the surrounding area and $80 million in damages to the UH campus. CAMPUS WORKS TO PREVENT A SIMILAR EVENT

The biggest blow to UH Mānoa was the flooding of the Hamilton Library basement, which destroyed maps and irreplaceable documents. According to the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, the ﬂooding was caused by the moat constructed around the

JANUARY 2007

library’s foundation, designed to let light enter into the basement. The moat has since been filled to prevent a similar disaster. UH has also been implementing other measures to protect the rest of campus as well. Since 2004, UH has had the Woodlawn Bridge water level continually monitored by Campus Security (now the Department of Public Safety) staff in cooperation with the U.S. Geological Survey according to Janet Gillmar, the campus landscape architect. New buildings are also contributing to making the campus flood-protected. The new IT building, which opened in January 2014, was designed to produce no added surface run-off water by making pavement alongside permeable and parts of its roof absorb rainwater, according to Gillmar. “The roofs and pavement already built over the years on campus and in the watershed above campus pose a challenge,” Gillmar said. To combat this, the campus is contemplating relief drains above campus leading to Mānoa Stream. A drainage master plan has been submitted to the city for approval, specifically designed to add relief drain lines to prevent a repeat of the campus flooding in 2004.

Ku‘ i club hopes to maintain well-being SOURCE: KAWELA FARRANT / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I  Members are required to volunteer for four hours a semester, according to the club’s website.

JENNIFER WONG CONTRIBUTING WRITER

At the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, a group of students and a faculty adviser established a group called Hui Ku‘i ‘ai o Mānoa – the first of its kind on campus. They want to accomplish the seemingly simple task of pounding kalo (taro). “I first was inspired to found this club almost two years ago when a friend who had been a member in Kamehameha Schools ku‘i (pounding) club brought me over to Daniel Anthony’s house. Daniel founded local small business Mana Ai and non-profit Hui Aloha ‘Ᾱina Momona,” Hui Ku‘i ‘ai o Mānoa founder and UH Mānoa student Kawela Farrant said. “(He) taught me to ku‘i for the first time. I didn’t know it at the time, but I was already inspired to make ku‘i ‘ai (pounding taro) a part of my life and to share it with others.” That friend was UH Mānoa student Beau Shishido who first learned to ku‘i when he was 16 years old. A RESTORED CONNECTION

While pounding kalo started as a way for Shishido to live a healthier lifestyle, he gained more than he expected from the experience. “Ever since (I started to ku‘i), I have been taking every opportunity to learn about my culture and every opportunity to live by my culture,” Shishido said. Shishido and Farrant have been working together to build a solid foundation for the group. Though the club is new, it has already managed to recruit members like undergraduate student Aleka Lyman who ﬁrst learned about the RIO through her Hawaiian language classes. “Being a Native Hawaiian who was born and raised in Hawai‘i, I’m shame to admit that I have only had the pleasure of pounding my own kalo once,” Lyman said. She explained that pounding

kalo was a way for her to reconnect with her culture because it was “one of the ﬁrst times that (she) truly felt Hawaiian.” Shishido and Lyman’s experiences with ku‘i ‘ai have changed their lifestyles in more ways than one. Shishido explained that because ku‘ i is a long process, it allowed him the time to reﬂect. “I would use the downtime of ku‘i to think about my culture, and the things I would think about, I would try to venture out and do them,” he said. Since doing so, Shishido has been actively growing his own foods in his backyard and says that he now tries to eat more food from

rity) is a precarious situation for the people of Hawai‘ i, and if we are serious about our long-term survival, we need to do something about it,” Farrant said. For others, like political science professor Noelani Goodyear-Ka‘ōpua, ku‘i ‘ai is not only a way to be more self-sufficient, but serves as an important means of re-establishing her relationship to the culture and the community. “I feel it is important to reconnect with Hāloa and what better way to do it than to ku‘i the ‘ai that we put into our own bodies,” Goodyear-Ka‘ōpua said. “By re-popularizing the practice of ku‘ i ‘ai, we are helping to support local, family farmers who grow kalo. To ku‘i your own ‘ai is to feed your body and your soul.” Goodyear-Ka‘ōpua is the club’s adviser and first met Farrant as a student in her POLS 302 Native Hawaiian Politics course. She says she and Farrant had similar goals and dreams for the future. “I think a lot of what (Kawela and I) both value about Hawai‘i resonated. We both believe that increasing local capacity to produce our own food in a sustainable manner is important,” Goodyear-Ka‘ōpua said. Its first step is to grow and produce its own food. While the process may be long, with a clear goal in mind, members of Hui Ku‘ i ‘ai o Mānoa have aspirations to expand their vision for the future. “My dream for this club is to teach people about the Hawaiian culture and if there is something that

the ‘āina (land). For Lyman, ku‘i ‘ai has become a multi-layered experience of physical, mental and spiritual fulﬁllment. “Physically, I will be feeding myself and my ‘ohana nutritious and delicious mea ‘ai (food). Mentally, I’ll be gaining a better understanding of the way that our ancestors lived by learning and using traditional techniques used in food production. Spiritually, I will be feeding my na‘au with the ‘nutrition’ that it needs,” Lyman said. DREAMS OF A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

While its connections are deeply rooted in its culture, the group’s mission is to “promote ‘ai pono (wholesome eating)” not only on campus but in the community as a whole, according to Farrant. He hopes to promote the “consumption of locally and sustainability-grown, healthfully-prepared food” in order to achieve the club’s mission of a wholesome lifestyle. But Farrant also has a larger goal in mind – it’s not just about cultural awareness, but about survival. “(Food sustainability and secu-

As part of that learning, Farrant says that they are working to host a board- and stone-carving workshop during winter break so that members will be able to ku‘ i their own kalo using equipment that they made themselves. Currently, the group plans to get its kalo from Hui Aloha ‘Āina Momona but eventually hopes to partner with Ka Papa Lo‘ i o Kānewai since a key portion of the club is based on mālama ‘āina (caring for the land). But until then, they will continue to ku‘ i in order to improve the personal health of the UH Mānoa community and the ‘āina. GET INVOLVED

Oceanography professor David Karl spoke on Phosphorus pollution in the ocean on Sept. 25 as part of Waikīkī Aquarium’s Distinguished Lecture Series.

UH professor speaks on dangers oceans face IEVA BYATAUTITE STAFF WRITER

One of the biggest problems the oceans face is an overwhelming amount of phosphorus being washed into the ocean from fertilized farmlands, said Oceanography professor David Karl, Ph.D. “We are worried about plastic bags (polluting the ocean), and while plastic is an issue I wouldn’t say it’s a ﬁrst order of issue. Nutrients are more important,” Karl said. “These issues are so complex and there is so much noise surrounding it. People don’t want to admit the facts and sometimes they don’t even know the facts.” Karl, who is also the director of the Center for Microbial Oceanography, spoke to a large crowd that packed into the Mamiya Theatre at the St. Louis School on Sept. 25. His lecture was titled, “The Contemporary Challenge of the Sea: Science, Society and Sustainability.” A HARMFUL ELEMENT

Phosphorus is a chemical element needed for the conversion of light energy to chemical energy during photosynthesis. It started being used heavily during the Green Revolution as a fertilizer for crops. Due to its high demand, phosphorus supplies are now running low, and the majority of it has ended up in the oceans, according to Karl. “This led to phosphorus pollution in our waterway. The excess phosphorus caused the creation of blooms in fresh water and coastal marine environments. And now we have a different problem – we are running out of phosphorus,” Karl said. A depletion of the Earth’s phosphorus supply is alarming because there is no industrial source of phosphorus. “What’s in the planet, in the rocks, is all we have. This is a crisis

that very few scientists, policy makers or the general public is tracking,” Karl said. A POSSIBLE SOLUTION

Karl and his team are working on a solution – one that would address phosphorus depletion crisis, the phosphorus ocean contamination problem and promote sustainability. The cool water air conditioning project would pump up cold, deepsea water from the ocean ﬂoor. It would then be used in a heat exchange, and the cold water would be pumped through the buildings of downtown Honolulu. This process would save energy and fresh water and it would also capture the excess phosphorus resting in deep water. “If this project is successful, we could recover the phosphorus and reuse it for fertilizer, industry, we could even sell it to maintain our research enterprise,” Karl said This is currently an ongoing project on campus, and so far, there is no prediction on whether the project will be successful, according to Karl. Norma-Jean Driscolli, a Leeward Community College student interested in oceanography, enjoyed the lecture but felt it was compact. “There was so much he talked about that I didn’t even know. Before the lecture, I was only aware of the issues very vaguely,” Driscolli said. Karl ﬁnished his lecture urging people, especially the younger generation, to seek solutions and not be afraid to step out of boundaries and comfort zones. “So do not be afraid to dream,” Karl said. Especially the younger people in the crowd, you have your whole lives ahead of you and you can make an impact on your lives and the lives of your children.”

Why Adoption Doesn’t Work for Feral Cats KRISTEN PAUL BONIFACIO OPINIONS EDITOR

Feral cats at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa campus can be traced as far back as 1998. Although capturing and having them put for adoption appears to be the best solution, it is not the most ideal. The current protocols that the university has already implemented with authorized personnel are already sufﬁcient in addressing the issue. LIVING IN THE WILD

Unlike stray cats, feral cats have lived their entire lives outdoors. Feral cats have a difﬁcult time adjusting to an environment that is enclosed and sheltered. And even if the cats on campus have been left and abandoned, most have adapted to a lifestyle in the outdoors. Furthermore, feral cats are not accustomed to close social interactions with humans. Feral cats have lived in the wild, and they

TRAP-NEUTER-RETURN

The most ideal method for manging feral cats is the Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) method. The idea is that the feral cats are captured, neutered and returned to their natural environment. This method ensures that the cat will continue to live in the environment it is familiar with while controlling the population. The TRN method has been advocated by nonproﬁt organizations such as the ASPCA and the Alley Cat Allies. The Human Society also endorses the method, charging $25 per cat, and has programs that sell and loan traps to catch the cats for sterilization. On its website, Alley Cat Allies state, “A feral cat’s home is where he has spent his entire life. Feral cats form strong bonds with one another and with their home territory.” ASSISTING OVER INVADING

The program is entirely managed by volunteer cat colony managers, and the Buildings and Grounds Management Department provides necessary materials for the care of the cats. The program also does not

We (buildings and grounds management) help to mediate communication between authorized cat colony managers and the broader community,” said Roxanne M.

Since the program is reliant on volunteers, it is hard for the program to keep track of the status of the feral cats on campus, but it is a required that the cats are spayed and neutered. “It is a requirement that the cats are spayed and neutered, but it takes time," Adams said. "It’s a requirement that they (the volunteers) are actively trapping. If they have unsprayed cats in their colony and we see them, it’s a call to the cat colony manager. ” The feral on campus cats have become a part of the university. And with an estimated population of about 250-300, capturing them will be difficult, time-consuming and expensive. The costs to get the cats neutered are paid by cat colony managers themselves, with help from nonprofit organizations that do the procedure. Although it is difficult, something is being done for these cats, and is the most reasonable option. If opponents of the feral cats are afraid of diseases, the neutered cats have received a complete physical exam and update on any shots. Furthermore, if fear of diseases is the concern, attention should be focused more on the countless birds walking and their droppings on tables throughout campus inches away from your food.

In relationships, polyamory a choice ROMAN KALINOWSKI SENIOR STAFF WRITER

More than 19 states including Hawai‘i have legalized gay marriage in the past decade due to increased public awareness and changing social views on what constitutes a romantic relationship. While this is great news, Americans are still strongly opposed to the idea of romance between more than two people. Here are a few guidelines on experimenting with ethical non-monogamy, or polyamory. NOT JUST WILD ORGIES

Polyamory comes from the Greek words for “many” and “love” and refers to maintaining loving, intimate relationships with more than one other person. While sex is generally a natural part of romance, poly-

amory is more than just hooking up with various people. Swingers contrast with polyamory, focusing on sexual encounters over close relationships. Love isn't scarce like natural resources and doesn't diminish as people are added to a relationship. Each relationship is unique and can have many or few rules, depending on the people involved. For instance, "polyﬁdelity” refers to a closed group of three to four individuals who may cohabitate over an extended period of time. Another group of polyamorous people may have a "condom contract" with each other – specifying under what conditions a new person may be added to the barrier-free group, if at all. Regular testing for sexually transmitted diseases after new partners enter the relationship is important and free in the state of Hawai‘i.

Condom or barrier use is also a good idea for new partners. While there is nothing wrong with traditional monogamy, it's historically been presented as the only option in life. In reality, there exists a diverse spectrum of relationship possibilities to explore beyond the typical single, dating and married option. HONESTY AND JEALOUSY

ous problems before they start by reassuring participants that their needs are being met and that everyone is comfortable. Polyamory doesn't permit the ability to “cheat” on a partner at any time, as cheating implies deceit or dishonesty. If anyone involved isn't fully informed of and consenting to the existence of the other participants, then it's not truly a polyamorous relationship.

The most important aspect of polyamorous relationships is honesty between partners. Jealousy can be a destructive force in all relationships, romantic or otherwise, stemming from fear of the unknown – fear that a lover may leave or that one is insufﬁcient. Open and frank discussion about topics like goals, desires and sexual boundaries can solve seri-

Last year, California Governor Jerry Brown signed a bill into law, allowing children to have three or more parents or legal guardians to reﬂect changing family structures. This is progress, but the status of households with multiple adults is ambiguous in the other 49 states. Furthermore, children could poten-

tially be separated from the persons they know as parents. Marriage of more than two people has been outlawed since the federal case Reynolds vs. United States of 1878. The Supreme Court ruled against a Mormon Church leader, creating a two-year prison sentence and a $500 ﬁne as punishment for the “crime” of marriage between more than two people. With the spread of the Internet, like-minded polyamorists have been able to ﬁnd each other and share both positive and negative experiences online. This is a unique time in human history where love is consensual, marriage is not arranged and basic human rights are written into law – where real people can continue to explore the uncharted boundaries of love.

Is UPASS worth it? RIO KWON GUEST WRITER

At $30 per semester, all undergraduates at the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa are eligible for the UPASS, an attachment to the student ID card that gives undergraduates unlimited access to the Honolulu city bus system. The City and County of Honolulu recently proposed to increase the mandatory $30 UPASS fee to $50 at the start of spring 2015 and to $75 at the start of spring 2016. As undergraduates at the University of Hawai‘ i, should we start getting used to our tuition and fees being increased? According to Commuter Services,

there are approximately 5,700 parking stalls available on the Mānoa campus, and with an approximate total enrollment of about 20,000 students, the need for parking on campus is quite obvious. We can’t ask the administration to build more parking stalls, and many students – approximately 60 percent of undergraduates – rely on TheBus as their primary mode of transportation. A survey conducted by the Associated Students of the University of Hawai‘i (ASUH) revealed that approximately 90 percent of undergraduates support having the UPASS. Forty-one percent of the students polled, however, are unwilling to pay more than $30 per

semester and only 13 percent are in favor of increasing the fee to $50 per semester. Raising the UPASS fee to $50 in spring 2015 and then to $75 in spring 2016 would make it difﬁcult for 60 percent of undergraduates polled in the survey to travel to and from school. ASUH has passed Senate Resolution 04-15: In Support of a More Favorable UPASS Student Rate on Sept. 3 at their General Senate meeting, and ASUH is currently in negotiations with the City. During a time when tuition is being increased and the ﬁnancial burden of attending college is weighing more heavily than ever before, raising a fee that so many

students rely on is not in the best interests of those whom the UPASS was supposed to benefit the most – the students. I do recognize the need for the City to make sound financial decisions, and having unlimited access to the bus for a $75 fee is still a bargain. But proposing to raise this fee so suddenly and without student input not only sets a poor precedent for arbitrary and unilateral actions by the City, it also alienates a significant base of people who are in favor of the City’s UPASS program. Much is said about the importance of education, of ensuring that the cost of a college education remains affordable and accessi-

ble. The UPASS fee may seem minute and insigniﬁcant, and a $75 fee frankly might not even seem to be that much money anyway. But this issue with the UPASS is about more than just money and politics – this issue is about ensuring that the City supports the students’ endeavors to attend college at an affordable price. This is also about ensuring that student voice is heard and not marginalized. So is the UPASS worth it? The answer, I believe, is an absolute yes.

The Ofﬁce of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA), along with its Community Engagement Team, has been promoting its most recent endeavor, he Hawaiian Patriots Project. The project aims to strengthen kānaka maoli voices of both the past and present, featuring four short videos of kānaka maoli students from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, who give voice to the words of our most courageous aloha ‘āina – Hawaiian patriots. Four patriots are featured in this project: George Helm, Alice Kamokila Campbell, James Kaulia and Pi‘ilani (from the story of Kaluaiko‘olau). It was through these patriots that myself and many others were inspired to strive and make a difference for our people. Our past is important, and we must look back to our ancestors if we are to move forward into the future.

The idea for this project stemmed from a course taught by Dr. Noelani Goodyear-Ka‘ōpua, with the goal of helping students explore political paths for our lāhui. This class is important because it teaches you the foundation for

It allows you to create your own opinions and ideas and share it with others in an intellectually safe space. As we learned the speeches of these great patriots, we were not only learning what was going on during that particular era, but we were given a platform in which we could inspire other people to speak their voice. These speeches have reminded us that we as a people have been quiet for too long and we cannot remain idle for any longer.

Whether kānaka maoli or not, it is important for all of us to look to the islands for the tools we need to survive in this ever-changing world. We must look to our kūpuna for direction on how to live our lives because they have helped shape us into who we are today, and we reﬂect them in our every action. In this journey, we

must remember that our kūpuna are always with us, walking alongside us in every step we take. By bringing new life to their words, we honor their legacy and acknowledge all the hard work they have done for our lāhui. We are also placing our kāhea (call) to seek their wisdom and guidance as we attempt to advance our generation in the most pono way possible. These speeches are more than just words on a piece of paper. They are inspiration for us to pūpūkahi i holomua – to unite to move forward. We must come together rather than be divided. It is the love for this ‘āina and love for our lāhui that has helped bring new life to our culture when it was on the verge of extinction. It was the teachings of the past that have helped us perpetuate our language, culture and traditions. It was kūpuna like James Kaulia, George Helm, Kamokila Campbell and Pi‘ilani, who paved the path for us to follow. We have heard their voice. Now it will be up to us to follow their lead and live aloha ‘āina. Will you answer their call?

Ferguson protestors use “Hands up! Don’t shoot” gesture to protest police brutality and the murder of unarmed Mike Brown.

Ferguson’s righteous uprising: no justice, no peace TINA GRANDINETTI CONTRIBUTING WRITER

On Sept. 1, Ka Leo published an article entitled, “Ferguson’s true offenders: the protestors.” In a comfortable university community, the author’s aversion to violence led him to place blame on the people of Ferguson without engaging in any real political analysis. It should be no surprise. We are all taught to fear violence – and people of color, for that matter. We are also taught that police and their weapons – even tanks and guns – are meant to protect us. But if this summer taught us anything, it is that Ferguson’s real offenders are racism, class exploitation and the militarization of civil society. As Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “A riot is the language of the unheard.” Rather than point ﬁngers at the people of Ferguson, we must begin to listen. RACISM

While the death of Michael Brown was the catalyst for the Ferguson uprising, it is important to remember that a movement of this size and intensity does not grow from one isolated event. In fact, Brown was one of four unarmed black men who died at the hands of the police in one month. Brown’s death triggered such a visceral response because it was

reﬂective of American society’s impulse to view young black men as a threat and to grant impunity to those who shoot them down. The people of Ferguson were not protesting solely against one death, but against the pervasive view that black lives do not matter. While the more privileged among us are protected by the police, men and

of people of color, but in their lives as well, because racial violence often takes the form of economic marginalization. Understanding the Ferguson uprising, let alone any race riot in U.S. history, demands that we critique not only race relations, but also an economic system that continually leaves black communities behind. As magazine editor Robert Stephens II writes, “We live in a context “A riot is the of white supremacy and neoliberal capitalism, where race-neutral pollanguage of the icies are being used to maintain unheard.” class exploitation and racial hierarchy, and any overt attempts to – MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. address racism are being dismantled or disregarded.” It is not surprising that the corwomen of color are deﬁned as those whom we must be protected from. porate media focused on the proThat mentality was evident in the testors’ destruction of private mainstream media’s obsession over property while downplaying the whether Brown was a good student destruction inﬂicted on human on his way to college or a thug who bodies over the course of the Ferguson uprising. robbed convenience stores.

their own people, civilian populations become the enemy. When institutionally racist police forces become militarized, communities of color become war zones.

MILITARIZATION

NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE

When outrage over race and class exploitation erupted in Ferguson, the response of the St. Louis police revealed a growing threat to our civil liberties in the U.S. Robert Bruce Ware, like many other journalists in Ferguson, witnessed St. Louis police fire tear gas and rubber bullets on a peaceful protest. “Before the standoff,” he wrote, “the protesters had been marching peacefully. A local church group walked behind them, singing hymns and handing out flyers that quoted the Bible on justice and mercy.” Faced with the downscaling of U.S. operations in the Middle East, the military-industrial complex has increasingly profited from the militarization of domestic police forces. Last year, the Pentagon handed nearly $4.5 million worth of surplus military equipment to local authorities, and since 2002, the Department of Homeland Security has provided over $35 billion in grants to local governments for the purchase of tactical gear, armor and military vehicles. When local police use weapons meant for enemies of war against

In the opening paragraph of his Sept. article, Bonifacio wrote of Ferguson, “As the city recovers and life for the neighborhood returns to normal, a lesson can be learned from this event – anger is not the solution for justice.” This was perhaps his biggest misunderstanding, for the people of Ferguson do not want their neighborhood to return to normal. The violence of the rebellion was a way to disrupt the structural, economic, political and physical violence that has for too long deﬁned their “normal.” And while anger is not the solution for justice, it is often the ﬁrst cathartic step toward political consciousness and movement building. In addition to “Hands up; don’t Shoot,” Ferguson protestors chanted the mantra of many social justice movements, “No justice, no peace.” Peace without justice is subjugation, and this summer, the people of Ferguson reminded us of that.

Kennedy Theatre’s ‘Blithe Spirit’ promises to be a scream

Ikaika Shiveley Associate Features Editor

Ghostly hijinks are afoot in the first of Kennedy Theatre’s mainstage productions this season, just in time for the Halloween season. “Blithe Spirit,” opening Oct. 3, is a sharp, witty comedy about a novelist who is haunted — literally — by the spirit of his first wife. Unsurprisingly, his present wife isn’t too happy about this arrangement and a clash between the physical and spirit world ensues. Written by Noel Coward and directed by University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa theatre professor Paul T. Mitri, the show is something that might be new to most local audiences: a comedy that relies more on something humorous because of its ridiculousness to the viewer. The play is set in England, 1941. The production strives to be as authentic to the time period as possible, right down to the lavish costumes and posh accents. Charles, played by Timothy Callais, is a fussy author writing a novel about a homicidal medium. He decides that the best way to get inspired is to actually invite a medium into his home to do a seance. Enter “happy medium” Madame Arcati (Sharon R. Garcia Doyle), who accidentally summons the ghost of Charles’s first wife Elvira played by Kyle Scholl. Chaos ensues when Charles realizes that he is the only one who can see Elvira, leading to what promises to be awkward scenes between Charles, Elvira and Charles’ present wife, Ruth (Karissa J. Murrell Myers).

“Blithe Spirit” has been a hit on Broadway as well as London’s West End. Myers says that it is the quality of the writing that makes it so appealing. “It’s incredibly well-written (and) incredibly funny ... The story is woven together so well and the characters have some amazing one-liners,” Myers said. The actors are no strangers to comedy. Callais won a Po’okela award for his performance in Kennedy’s last mainstage show, “The Very Persistent Gappers of Frip.” Myers was in Kennedy’s recent “Big Love” and “Uncle Vanya and Zombies.” The show is a classic British comedy, sharp and quick-witted with plenty of comedic banter between characters. Part of its charm is that it appeals to a wide audience, something that Mitri was very aware of when directing the play. His goal is to give theatergoers something beyond the typical theater experience, to make them laugh through forms of comedy that they might not be familiar with. “This show is really for anyone,” Myers said. “We’ve especially geared it towards Hawai‘i audiences.” Showcasing the best of UH Mānoa’s Department of Theater and Dance, “Blithe Spirit” is sure to entertain. It isn’t the type of play to ask the bigger questions or have a moral at the end. Instead, the audience is encouraged to leave their cares and worries at the door, and simply have a good time.

‘Upside Reverie’ explores escapism Dance, original score complement performance

Local actors say they’ll make British commedy a good time for all DANIELLA REYES STAFF WRITER

MONDAY, SEPT. 29, 2014

TRICIA KHUN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa’s Department of Theatre and Dance will open its 2014 Late Night Theatre season with “Upside Reverie,” a 45-minute dance concert directed by M.F.A. Dance candidate Mareva Minerbi. The performance will feature a combination of original music as well as a compilation of unique video projection designs and contemporary dances by choreographers and performers Sami L.A. Akuna, Faith Im, Ruby MacDougall, Minerbi and Camille Monson. The performance consists of a series of individually choreographed vignettes. Within each of these vignettes, each choreographer utilizes a different approach to capture the overall theme of escapism through the idea of dreams. Minerbi said that she has always been very much interested in the variety of ways people escape from the chaos and the current realities of everyday life, which prompted her to choose the theme of escapism. m. “Whether you have ave a bad day at work or are being ng given some bad news and you u just want to unwind and drink a cup of coffee,

you are escaping,” Minerbi said. ”We are all escaping. That idea is very interesting.” Minerbi also wanted to explore the manners in which people escape. “I not only wanted to understand the different ways people escaped, but I also wanted to understand some of the things that caused people to do so because I think it is important to temporarily break away from one’s reality,” Minerbi said. “It’s necessary. It’s an important catalyst for change, although it’s also a big risk not dealing with the present.” WHERE FANTASY MEETS REALITY

The performance addresses some of the heavy, yet subtle, social conﬂicts that currently exist in contemporary society. To lighten the overall tone, a mixture of dreamlike music and a few humorous moments will be utilized. This dreamy effect will allow audiences to fully immerse themselves and be participants in questioning the idea of what it means to escape. The performance will take the audience to a place where fantasy meets reality. The performance will also showcase the different ways dance may be used to calm and reshape reality. Many people, both the young and

the young-at-heart, consider dance as another form of self-expression. “Dance is an international language that not only uniﬁes diverse peoples and builds a sense of community, but it also provides a space where people can be creative and experimental,” Minerbi said. In addition, dance can be used as a form of meditation or exercise to release the daily stresses and pressures from work, school family responsibilities and other interpersonal relationships. PERFORMERS TAKE ON “ESCAPISM”

Although most of the choreographers and performers have some kind of professional dance experience, they still found it somewhat difﬁcult to accurately capture the nature and essence of escapism. This was especially challenging considering the time constraints of getting the production set up. “Much of the production lineup is still being sorted out and all the choreographers and performers are still doing last minute rehearsals,”

said Akuna, a dancer in the performance. “So far, we’ve had three weeks of rehearsal and when we do have rehearsals, not everyone is present on the same day which is somewhat challenging. At this point, it’s difﬁcult to see the big picture of what the entire show will actually look like.” However, Minerbi says that “when under this much pressure and not given a lot of time, it forces you to come up with quick solutions.” Through all the sweat and hard work in a short amount of time, Minerbi and the entire production team continue to remain hopeful. The production team wants to use the Kennedy Theatre stage as a platform to showcase each of their creative processes. They also want it to be a platform for additional exploration and experimentalism— to go beyond the conventions of the existing styles of dance and to broaden, as well as to question, both their own and the audience’s senses of the meaning of escapism. Minerbi deﬁnes the production as being “collaborative, conceptual p and experimental.”

LIVIN’ IT UP WITH LASSNER

The life and times of the UH president Passions paved the way to presidency for David Lassner LILIAN CHENG / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

On June 2, 2014, Lassner became the fifteenth president of the University of Hawai‘ i system. BRAD DELL FEATURES EDITOR

David Lassner didn’t dream of being an administrator when he was a child. Instead, his passion was found in computers and learning. However, it was because of these two passions that he ended up becoming the UH System president. “I never imagined that I would be president of a university,” Lassner said. “Even two years ago. STIRRINGS OF CAREER GOALS

Lassner was born in 1954 in Stamford, Connecticut to a family of two native New Yorkers and an older brother. From there, he moved to Rochester, New York, then Brockton, Massachusetts before settling in the south suburbs of Chicago where he lived from sixth grade until the end of high school. Lassner attended public schools for the duration of his education. He became editor of his high school paper, was active in the drama club, debated around the state of Illinois with a team and was an avid hiker due to his involvement in the Boy Scouts. “When I was in graduate school at the University of Illinois, I did imagine becoming a college professor,” Lassner said. I thought I would finish a Ph.D., then probably teach somewhere. My dad retired as a professor of social work so I observed the lifestyle of university work.” It was at Lassner’s high school in the early ‘70s that he discovered a mini-computer that was shared by five high schools. He took a class that taught him about programming, the first step in a long history of working with computers. FROM ECONOMICS TO COMPUTERS

Lassner went to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign to pursue a bachelor’s degree. He eventually received an economics degree, although this wasn’t his original plan. “I found myself as a senior without a major and I determined, by looking at the requirements, that

if I took eight economics classes in my senior year I would be able to graduate on time,” Lassner said. His interest in computers was sparked again while still at the university. “One of the guys in my calculus class dragged me over one day to the computer lab on the campus where they had invented a computer used for teaching and learning called Pro-

Illinois while physically at the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa, and found that he wanted to stay. “I’ve been here 37 years,” Lassner said. “People come here and it either grabs them or it doesn’t. It grabbed me.” Lassner said both Hawai‘ i’s physical and professional environments are what have kept him on the island.

“So I got invited to come to Hawai‘ i on a one-year contract. This was in 1977 and I never made it back.” – DAVID LASSNER UH SYSTEM PRESIDENT

grammed Logic for Automatic Teaching Operations (PLATO),” Lassner said. “This is 1972, pre-PC, pre-Internet. It was a network computer with terminals that were very graphic with touch screens. I was entranced and I started taking computer classes.” Lassner was soon convinced to seek a master’s degree in computer science, believing that it would “come in handy in my future some day.” FINDING ROOTS IN HAWAI‘I

In his ﬁrst year of graduate school, Lassner found himself working on the PLATO computer system. Fujio Matsuda, the president of the UH System at the time, was an MIT-trained engineer who decided that computers would be integral to education systems. Matsuda sent a team from UH to visit the leading national projects in computer-assisted teaching and learning. When the team returned to UH, they pitched the idea to work with the PLATO computer system. “When they decided to get started, they wanted someone who had experience with it to come, and there’s no one cheaper than a graduate student,” Lassner said. “So I got invited to come to Hawai‘i on a one-year contract. This was in 1977 and I never made it back.” Lassner ﬁnished his master’s degree through the University of

“I’ve just been so fortunate,” Lassner said. “A lot of people who live here have to make professional compromises, but I have had great jobs. UH has been a great place with great ﬁelds that allowed me to grow professionally and personally all these years.” TAKING THE UNBEATEN PATH

Lassner began his doctorate in communication and information sciences while working as a contractor. After three years of renewed contracts, he was given an entrylevel staff position. “I came up on the staff track, which is pretty unusual for a university president here or anywhere,” Lassner said. “I was an APT – computer specialist – until 1989. Then I was appointed the director of Information Technology.” Lassner also taught, both online and in person, for four different departments despite never being a faculty member. “I had the most fun with a computer science class in the early ‘80s where I taught four computer languages in one semester to learn algorithms,” Lassner said. “Then I taught an M.B.A. class on electronic commerce around 2000 or so when this stuff was taking off. Since it was just then becoming popular, it was a lot of fun to learn about it and teach it at the same time.”

CLIMBING THE RUNGS OF UH

Lassner has been involved in numerous organizations such as the Maui High Performance Computing Center, the Paciﬁc Disaster Center, the National Science Foundation and the Hawai‘ i Education and Research Network. Through networking with academic organizations, Lassner feels he is better able to strategically run the school system. “I got involved in organizations mostly to learn,” Lassner said. “Most of what we have to do in the university is faced by the same challenges and obstacles as all other universities ... (We) learn from their problems and bring those experiences to UH so we don’t have to make the same mistakes.” In 1994, Lassner was given responsibility to create the IT organization that is now ITS. Formerly, it was composed of four different organizations, so he was tasked with connecting them. He also focused on the IT program at UH Mānoa. “The new IT Center (at Mānoa) was my baby and passion for many years – working with the university and legislature and learning how to put the money together and then making sure it got built on time, on budget,” Lassner said. While he was the Vice President for Information Technology and Chief Information Ofﬁcer in the summer of 2013, Lassner was contacted by the Board of Regents following President MRC Greenwood’s resignation. “They asked me if I was willing to be interim president (of the UH System),” Lassner said. “I will say I was not my first choice but I was willing to be considered, so I let them know.” After serving for nine months, Lassner was nominated to be the permanent president of the UH system. “People were comfortable with me as interim and I got good feedback,” Lassner said. “I was told that they were looking for an interim who wasn’t interested in applying

for the permanent president. And that was me. It was not one of my career goals.” When nominated, though, Lassner felt that it would be “reasonable” to give the Board the option to hire him. “I do have a lot of passion for this place,” Lassner said. “I’ve given my whole career here, I got my Ph.D. here, I studied here, I taught here. I really believe UH is the single most important institution for the state, so if the Board thought I was the best person for the position, then I would do it.” FACTOIDS

Kathy Masunaga’s passion is pie. From comforting, savory chicken pot pie to sweet, rich chocolate strawberry pie – and every other kind of pie in between – you name it, this creative baker has made it. Other pies include bacon mac-and-cheese, guava chiffon, stuffed raspberry, apple crumb and a Thanksgiving dinner turkey pot pie. The menu changes daily, depending on what ingredients are on hand. The pies cost $8 and make for a satisfying lunch. Sweet Revenge makes the pies from scratch using real butter and fresh, local ingredients. Go to the truck early if you can, as pies consistently sell out fast. You can also get on Sweet Revenge’s delivery list to get hot pies delivered every Wednesday. Revenge might be a dish best served cold, but if you’re Sweet Revenge, it’s best served as a warm, delicious pie.

CONTROLLER IN ONE HAND, DRINK IN THE OTHER Ikaika Shiveley Associate Features Editor

ALOHANIGHTS.COM • WEB UPDATES

Partying has always been an essential part of life for some students, but sometimes it becomes repetitive and even dangerous. A night out on the town can lead to both an empty wallet and rash decisions. For legal drinkers seeking to drink without leaving the convenience and safety of their dorms, video games and partying go hand in hand, if you know how to combine them. Here is a list of video games that, when combined with drinking, produce a great night of laughs, fun and friendly competition. Although these drinking games are fun, they should be played cautiously. Remember, drink responsibly and legally. MATERIALS FOR ALL GAMES

Beer, a bottle for shots (if needed), the video games, an ID proving you’re 21 and at least two friends.

‘MARIO KART’ Platforms: Nintendo 64, GameCube, Wii and Wii U

‘MARIO PARTY’ Platform: Nintendo 64, GameCube and Wii

‘SUPER SMASH BROS.’ Platform: Nintedo 64, GameCube and Wii

Preference: “Mario Kart,” “Mario Kart Wii” or “Mario Kart 8”

Preference: “Mario Party 8”

Preference: any “Super Smash Bros.” version

Since its 1992 debut on the Super Nintendo, “Mario Kart” has become one of the most popular racing titles with its imaginative courses and outrageous weapons. The drinking game for “Mario Kart,” more famously known as “Drunk Driver,” has been a staple at video game parties. To play, all that is needed is a pack of beer (usually a cheaper brand like PBR, Bud light or Coors), and any version of “Mario Kart” available. The objective of the game is simple: Start drinking at the start of the race and be the ﬁrst to pass the ﬁnish line with an empty can of beer. As you know, drinking and driving is irresponsible and dangerous, but only your virtual characters will be in danger.

Another Mario spinoff, “Mario Party” is a title that resembles a board game with dozens of mini games throughout the course of play. A fun drinking twist is to make all other players take a shot when someone receives a star (what you receive when you win a round). The game generally takes 40 minutes to one hour to play through, so make sure you have enough to drink. Players beware: Friends will quickly turn into mortal enemies through this extremely competitive game.

Any “Super Smash Bros.” title will do for this drinking game. Give every player a beer to start off the game. Players must take a drink when: their player dies, a Bob-omb hits them, they obtain a hammer or star, a water Pokémon appears or an opponent’s name is being chanted. If you accidentally kill your own character, you must drink double. At the end of the match, the loser must throw away empty beer cans and reﬁll drinks.

‘ROCKBAND’ Platforms: PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii

‘WII SPORTS’ Platform: Wii

‘MORTAL KOMBAT’ Platform: PS3 and Xbox 360

Preference: “Rockband 3”

Preference: Only one version.

Preference: “Mortal Kombat 9”

One of the greatest party games of all time, “Rockband” allows you to release your inner rock star. There is no official drinking game for this title, so casual drinking through a song is sufficient enough. Although most will avoid the microphone in the beginning, liquid courage will soon take over as everyone fights to perform their rendition of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody.” If you really want to add some extra flare, force the player who makes the entire band fail a round to take a shot.

What was made to get the whole family involved in gaming has quickly turned into a party favorite. With baseball, tennis, bowling, golf and boxing, “Wii Sports” has reeled in average sports enthusiasts for the last eight years. Since all the games have one winner, the loser(s) have to take a shot or chug a beer. For more intense drinking, players can take a shot every time an opponent gets a strike in bowling. The same can be done when a player knocks down their opponent in boxing.

Need to settle a beef with a friend? Pop in “Mortal Kombat” and fight to the death (only in the virtual world, of course). Try the two-on-two mode for maximum enjoyment. Each player is given a beer and must finish it before they are allowed to kill the other player. However, players can only drink when their partner is playing or if their controller is placed on the floor. Another fun mode is “Test Your Luck,” which randomizes settings that can either hurt or help each player.

Bills Sydney takes the hotcake Waikīkī breakfast restaurant butters up customers with ricotta cheese pancakes

SOURCE: WRONG WAY 

‘WRONG WAY’ IKAIKA SHIVELEY ASSOCIATE FEATURES EDITOR

SOURCE: BILLS HAWAII 

Bills began in Australia and has expanded with locations in the U.K., Japan and South Korea. TORI TOKUNAGA STAFF WRITER

At the far end of Waikīkī’s Beachwalk Avenue near its intersection with Kalākaua Avenue, hides one of O‘ahu’s dining treasures. Australian chef Bill Granger has chosen O‘ahu to harbor the first Bills Sydney Restaurant in the United States. Although they’re known for their ricotta cheese pancakes and creamy eggs, the restaurant also hosts guests for casual lunch or dinner. As my dining partner and I walked into the restaurant, we were greeted by a cordial hostess. We swept past pastel-colored walls and furnishings that were complemented with retro-patterned wallpaper that made for a homey living-room feel perfect for any Instagram post. Booth seating lined the room, as well as a high stool bar for those who want a graband-go breakfast. As we entered the dining area upstairs, a light smell of flowers and potpourri (similar to that of a Pier 1 Imports store) hit us. The dim lighting, floor-to-ceiling windows, high walls and large bamboo fans made

for a classy beach house vibe. Opting to dine inside, the hostess led us to our table in the corner of the restaurant and turned us over to the waitress. The waitress ﬁlled our glasses with water and answered our various questions about the menu. I decided on the salmon salad with coconut caramel dressing ($14), and my dining partner ordered the veal and pork ragù with pappardelle, tarragon, lemon and Parmesan pasta ($18). When the salmon salad hit the table, the ﬁrst thing I noticed was the wide range of garnishing. The piece of salmon, about the size of a deck of cards, peeked out beneath the jungle of Thai basil, onions, orange slices, coconut shavings, green beans and chunks of cucumber. The salmon was glazed with a sweet coat of sauce, cooked to the point where chewing was optional. The veal and pork ragù came tossed with thick noodles garnished with tarragon, lemon and pappardelle. This gave it a unique twist but steered it away from the gamey taste that usually follows veal. My favorite part of the dish was the thin meat sauce

that had a subtle hint of lemon. I was expecting a stewy sauce, but it ended up being quite light. I would consider ordering this dish for myself the next time I decide to dine at bills. The waitress recommended that we order the ricotta cheese hotcakes with banana and honeycomb butter ($14) for dessert as it’s a favorite among customers. She warned us that diners often think the hotcakes are undercooked, but that it is only because of the melted ricotta cheese in the interior. I took the waitress’ warning into consideration while taking my ﬁrst bite, and I could see what she meant. But they were certainly delicious. The plate came with three decently sized pancakes about the size of an appetizer plate. The honeycomb butter glittered with bits of hard candied honey clusters that offered a unique crunch. The hotcakes had slices of ripened bananas and a thin, sweet syrup. I felt as though the meal was a bit too pricey for the amount of food received. The quality of the food was delicious, but it does require a certain set of taste buds. Those who are willing to rethink the deﬁnition of a traditional pizza,

pasta or salad will love bills for its creativity and cultural twists. I will make it a point to return to bills for breakfast for those ricotta cheese pancakes. Bills’ combination of service, ambiance, and food was excellent. TIP

Since Waikīkī oﬀers little parking, it would be wise to either park in the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center and validate by buying a $10 item from one of the various vendors, or park in one of the surrounding hotel structures. RATING

Want to put the pedal to the virtual metal and race like a pro? Now you can with Jared Bailey’s racing app, “Wrong Way Racing.” The gameplay is self-explanatory, with the goal being to obtain the highest lap streak without colliding with oncoming cars. There are three track types: NASCAR loop, inﬁnity track and off-road track. Each track has two lanes, making it easy to avoid a crash. To maneuver between lanes, players must tap the screen while keeping a constant eye out for opponent cars which switch lanes frequently. As the lap count rises, rival cars begin to pick up speed which increases the difﬁculty. The lack of music may seem like the app’s downfall in the beginning, but it becomes a blessing in the higher levels: With the distraction of music subtracted from the equation, you will be able to better focus on the visual element of the game to avoid crashes. The combination of pixel graphics and subtle 8-bit sound effects induce the nostalgia of vintage race games. “Wrong Way Racing” puts your hand-eye coordination to the test and makes for an addictive gaming experience.

In her win at the OSU Invitational, Leung opened play with a five-under par 67. DENNIS PALMA CASTILLO CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Izzy Leung’s drive from the tee box is only matched by the drive to succeed in her golf career. Born in Toronto, Canada, and raised in Hong Kong, she graduated from Sha Tin College in 2013. Now a sophomore on the University of Hawai‘ i’s women’s golf team, Leung is a balanced athlete who takes competition seriously but knows when to have fun. “She’s a lot of fun,” teammate Nichole Cruz said. “Every time we go and play you can guarantee a laugh, but I don’t know what goes on, there’s like a switch. When tournaments come around, she’s on her game.” Leung has been on her game often in her young career. She’s led the Wahine team in every tournament that she’s played in, including those as a freshman. “Izzy is happy-go-lucky and very easygoing,” women’s golf coach Lori Castillo said. “She is very respectful of others and enjoys the company of her teammates. Izzy is also very competitive and takes her work on the course and at practice very seri-

ously, even though it may appear that she is having too much fun. It is her personality and she can switch it on and off from serious to laid back quite quickly. I think

“I hit far for my size,” Leung said. “I drive the ball well.” Her skills have transferred well to her performance on the golf course. At the very early stages of

“Every time we go and play you can guarentee a laugh, but I don’t know what goes on. When tournaments come around, she’s on her game.” – ISABELLA LEUNG this relaxes her and the people around her.” Her strong work ethic, competitive nature and ability to balance golf with life have a lot to do with her long experience in the sport of golf. Leung picked up her first golf club at 8 years old, and she credits her father for showing her the importance of having the discipline to hone her craft. “My dad got me into golf,” Leung said. “He’s not that good though. I can beat him now.” While skilled enough to defeat her father, according to Castillo, one of Leung’s best strengths as a golfer is her ability to strike the ball long and straight.

her career, Leung had a taste of competition on the international level. In September, she participated in the World Team Amateur Golf Championship where she represented her home of Hong Kong. “I was definitely very happy that my golf association picked me to represent Hong Kong, I was honored,” Leung said. “I was able to play with world No. 1 (Brooke Henderson of Canada) and that was a great experience for me.” Her coach recognized the importance that international play can have on a young golfer. “Competition makes you better,” Castillo said. “The more you

push yourself at the highest level, the more learning takes place and thus more confidence is acquired. A player uses her successes as fuel for future events. Leung was fortunate to play with the number one female amateur golfer at the World Team Amateur and was able to see that level of play and incorporate it into her game.” Leung recently found victory at UH’s season opener, the Oregon State University Invitational, where she was the only player to finish the tournament under par. Capturing the invitational made her the first UH champion since 2006. “I was kind of shocked to be honest because I didn’t think I played that well,” Leung said of her performance at the OSU Invitational. “I’m happy because this is my first college win and I’m glad to get it out of the way.” But Leung’s life wouldn’t be complete with just golf and competition alone. Her fierce competitiveness can be compared to her fierce love for food. “Every single time we go travel, she (Leung) requests barbecue,” Cruz said. “So every single trip we have barbecue.” She also loves açai bowls from

Bogart’s Café and going to the beach in her spare time. Despite being recruited by other programs, Leung decided to come to UH because it gave her the opportunity to play golf on a scholarship and go to a school with a strong marine biology program. Leung’s favorite athletes are professional golfer Adam Scott and tennis star Roger Federer. She looks up to her older sister as a role model and has high aspirations to become a professional golfer one day. “I was going to see during my senior year how well I’m playing before I decide if I should turn pro on not,” Leung said. “Plan B, I’d like to do research on marine mammals mostly. Dolphins are my favorite.” The future of the UH women’s golf appears to be bright and competitive with their star being a sophomore. When asked about the impact she wanted to have, Izzy Leung wants to be thought of as, “The awesome Asian that kicked everyone’s butt.”

Family matters Two generations of UH volleyball excellence come together in alumnae match.

SOURCE: UH ATHLETICS 

Chanteal Satele (2010-11) took the court with her mother LeeAnn (1981-84) for the first time in the annual alumnae match. JEREMY NITTA SENIOR SPORTS WRITER

Rainbow Wahine volleyball fans got a brief glimpse into UH lore during Saturday night’s alumnae match. During the second set, Lee Ann Satele checked into the game to serve, while her daughter Chanteal Satele looked on. In an instant, the 26 years that had separated their careers vanished, as both represented the Rainbow Wahine on the court of the Stan Sheriff Center. “It was an honor, playing with these ladies and people like my mom, who were part of the people who built this program and were a part of those national championships,” Chanteal said. “I mean, she’s the true star. It was an honor to take the ﬂoor with her.” Lee Ann, better known to Hawai‘i fans as Lee Ann Pestana, was a member of the Rainbow Wahine teams that won back-to-back championships in 1982 and 1983. Lee Ann was more of a role player on a star-studded team that included All-Americans Deitre Collins, Joyce Ka‘apuni and Kori Pulaski. Chanteal had a more prestigious individual career than her national champion mother. After a pair of strong seasons at Saint Mary’s College, Chanteal transferred home to Hawai‘ i, where she quickly earned a starting position as an outside hitter. Chanteal went on to earn all-WAC ﬁrst team honors as both

a junior nior and an nd d a senior, sen enior, and an was an integral that made al part parrt of teams tea the NCAA AA tournament. tou GROWING AMONG LEGENDS

Lee Ann and Chanteal are both a part of a Satele family that has become familiar among UH fans. Lee Ann’s husband, Alvis, was a former football star for Hawai‘ i who went on to play professionally. Chanteal’s older brothers Brashton and Liko also had careers as members of the UH football team. Chanteal’s cousins, Samson Satele, Hercules Satele and Mel Purcell also all were former Warrior stars. Alvis Satele, the patriarch of the family, was a standout linebacker for Hawai‘i from 1981 to 1984. After brief stints with the Chargers and Redskins, Alvis played two years in the Canadian Football League with the Calgary Stampeders and the BC Lions. Brashton Satele, Chanteal’s older brother, followed in his father’s footsteps as a star linebacker for the ‘Bows from 2005 to 2009. After going undrafted, Brashton played on the practice squads for the Oakland Raiders, New York Jets and Dallas Cowboys. Another of Chanteal’s older brothers, Liko, also played for the Rainbow Warriors, as a defensive lineman. While he did not post the individual accolades of his father and brother, he was a key part of the team’s rotation during his career from 2008 to 2011. He was also a member of the 2010 team

that was the last UH team to make a bowl game. Chanteal is the youngest member of the Satele family, which consists of ﬁve children, but is the only daughter. For people outside the family, it seemed only natural that she would grow into a standout volleyball player like her mom. But Chanteal said that there

DEVELOPING THE NEXT GREAT SATELE

Once Chanteal began playing volleyball, she did so under the watchful eye of her mother. “Oh yes, she coached me a lot,” Chanteal said. “We had some rough spots, but she really helped make me who I am today. She was always really tough on me, but really I knew it was only because she saw

was named to the HHSAA Division II State All-Tournament Team. She also was named to the All-State team both years, and was twice named ILH Division II Player of the Year. And when she got to UH in 2010, her similarities to her mother surprised head coach Dave Shoji. “They are amazingly similar in the way they play volleyball,” Shoji said. “I can’t believe it’s genetics. They have the same mannerisms, they basically played the same position, they were about the same height; just everything about them is very, very similar. It’s amazing to me how that can happen.” LOOKING TOWARDS THE FUTURE

was never any pressure to play the sport her mother had excelled at. “She actually never inﬂuenced me to play volleyball,” Chanteal said. “She never pushed me to play volleyball, it was just something that I wanted to do, and she supported me in doing it. I never actually knew a thing about her playing volleyball here until I got older, so when I did it was pretty cool.” Still, there was excitement for Lee Ann when Chanteal approached her about taking up the sport. “I was ecstatic,” Lee Ann said. “The ﬁrst thing I asked her was if she loved it. She was nine years old and I asked her, ‘Do you love it?’ And she told me, ‘Yeah Mom, this is what I really want to do.’ So when she told me that, I was very happy.”

the potential in me. I knew never to take it personally, but it was kind of hard.” “Yeah, I held her to higher standards,” Lee Ann said. “I didn’t know it at the time, but I did. I held her to a standard of work ethic and effort, and pushed (Chanteal) to work hard. Those were the things were all I ever asked of her. Now when I look back, I see that I was so hard on her, but yet, the work ethic she has now has made it all pay off.” The work that both parents put into Chanteal’s game paid off. At Word of Life Academy in Hawai‘i, Chanteal was a four-time letterwinner in volleyball and won multiple titles, including the ILH Division II Championships as a sophomore in 2006. As a junior and senior, Chanteal

Saturday’s alumnae match marked the ﬁrst time that Lee Ann and Chanteal played together on a court. The pair believes it will not be the last time, and look forward to attending more alumnae matches in the future. “This is the greatest place anyone could play volleyball,” Chanteal said. “There’s such a great support system from the state.” “It’s awesome to be here with the women again, and to be a part of what really is a sisterhood,” Lee Ann said. “You look around and see such beautiful people and players inside and out. And to be able to take the court with my daughter; that was just amazing.”

WEEKLY ROUNDUP The following is a collection of University of Hawai‘ i athletic events from Sept. 20-Sept. 27.

MEN’S BASKETBALL The Rainbow Warrior basketball team announced that its annual Green/White scrimmage will take place on Oct. 4 at 10 p.m. The scrimmage will give fans their ﬁrst look at this year’s team, as they play against each other at the Stan Sheriff Center while also competing in a dunk contest at halftime. Hawai‘ i will be showing off a group of newcomers mixed in with returning letterwinners like Isaac Fotu and Garrett Nevels. Admission to the scrimmage is free and will begin shortly after the Rainbow Wahine volleyball match against UC Irvine. An autograph session with fans will also be held at the conclusion of the scrimmage.

WOMEN’S SOFTBALL The Rainbow Wahine softball team released its fall schedule on Sept. 24 and announced the return of the annual Kama‘aina Tournament. Hawai‘i will host Chaminade, BYU-Hawai‘i and UH Hilo from Nov. 7-8 for a six-game preseason tournament. The tournament will be followed by an alumnae game on Nov. 15. The Wahine are returning 13 players from last year’s team which ﬁnished last season with a 22-28 record.

WOMEN’S SOCCER The Rainbow Wahine soccer team wrapped up its four-game road trip against Montana last on Sept. 21 before heading home to begin conference play this week. Hawai‘i (5-5) was able to outlast Montana 2-1 with goals from Sonest Furtado and Ashley Haruki. Montana attempted 13 shots in the second half to get back in the game, but the Wahine were able to hold on for their third road win in four games. Storm Kenui was also named Big West Defensive Player of the Week for her performances on the road. The multi-talented midﬁelder ﬁlled in for injured defender Lidia Battaglia against Montana which helped to solidify the UH defense. Hawai‘i wrapped up the week with a 2-0 victory in the alumnae game on Saturday.

WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL

MEN’S FOOTBALL

After defeating Northern Arizona for the second night in a row, the Rainbow Wahine (10-3) volleyball team hit the road for the ﬁrst time this season to begin conference play. Hawai‘ i climbed back into the national rankings before facing UC Davis, and behind a season-high performance by Kalei Adolpho, the Wahine were able to sweep the Aggies in the ﬁrst match of conference play. Following the game against UC Davis, UH travelled to UC Riverside on Saturday. The now No. 25 Wahine defeated UCR in three straight sets by the score of 25-12, 29-27 and 25-19. Kalei Greeley and Tai Manu-Olevao both recorded double-doubles on the night.

Hawai‘ i announced a new home-and-home series against the University of Massachusetts last week. The series involves a pair of games in the 2016 and 2017 seasons with UH hosting ﬁrst before heading to Amherst, Massachusetts in the following year. This is the ﬁrst time that the two teams will meet after Massachusetts became a bowl-eligible FBS program in 2013. This will also be the longest distance travelled for the Warrior football team in its history at 5,008 miles between the two schools.

Big West Conference preview Wahine soccer looks to add to winning streak in conference play DAVID MCCRACKEN SENIOR STAFF WRITER

The University of Hawai‘i women’s soccer team is set to open up conference play after returning home from a 12-day road trip that saw the team win three of its four matches, including a two-game winning streak. The Rainbow Wahine (5-5) open up Big West play next weekend against Cal State Fullerton (2-5-2) and UC Riverside (4-2-2) and look to build off last year’s performances against Big West opponents. The Rainbow Wahine posted a record of 3-4-1 in the Big West last season, finishing fifth in the conference with an overall record of 8-81. The 2014 Big West Preseason Poll, voted upon by the conference’s head coaches, selected the Wahine to finish fifth again this season, out of a possible nine teams. Through 10 games this season, UH owns a .500 record but according to head coach Michele Nagamine, the best has yet to come. “I’m really happy,” Nagamine said. “I’m excited to see them play when it really counts. I think we have been tweaking a lot of things and it’s taken us a little while to get our rhythm but we are in a good place right now, even despite some pretty critical injuries.” UH had already lost star forward and all-Big West First Team selection Tiana Fujimoto for the season after undergoing foot surgery in July. But recently, they’ve also been without the services of junior fullback Lidia Battaglia, who wasn’t able to take the field against Montana in the team’s 2-1 victory. Available for the conference matchups next weekend, however, is sophomore midfielder, Storm Kenui. She is enjoying a successful campaign thus far, and is tied with Sonest Furtado for the most goals scored (4) for the Rainbow Wahine so far this season. Renowned for her tenacity and ability to defend all areas of the pitch, Kenui was awarded the Big West Conference Defensive Player of the Week award a week ago. “It kind of caught me by surprise,” Kenui said. “I didn’t really think that much of it actually, because there are other players in this conference that I feel are a little better than me. I just feel like there are other players better than me who could’ve and should’ve got it.”

Kenui may not have thought much of the honor, but coach Nagamine felt that the award and praise was well deserved. “I’m not surprised at all,” Nagamine said. “She was fantastic. I call Storm my Swiss army knife because she’s always going to be my utility tool and she just does everything for our team that needs to be done. You want to go into battle with somebody like Storm; she’s going to be able to support you and assist you in any way that she can and that’s what makes her such a good player.” Another young player for Hawai‘i that has stepped up to ﬁll in the goal scoring void left by Fujimoto is a freshman forward. Despite her youth, Furtado has scored four goals, tied with Kenui for most on the team. “It’s kind of exciting,” Furtado said. “I know that I have high expectations and I just want to play for my teammates and just do whatever I can when I’m on the ﬁeld. Just trying to have everyone’s back and score as much as I can.” Although only a freshman, coach Nagamine has been waiting for Furtado to come into her own. “The only thing about Sonest Furtado, is that I’m surprised it took this long,” Nagamine said. “She’s has this ability since she was at club and in high school and it took her a little while to get used to this speed of play but I think she’s hitting her stride now.” Hitting her stride can only be a positive sign for the Rainbow Wahine heading into conference play, and Furtado seems more than capable of accepting the challenge head on. “We’re pretty hyped,” Furtado said. “Coach (Nagamine) has been

telling us that we’ve been doing really well and I think that we’re really motivated to get our ﬁrst win in our ﬁrst conference game and to play well and I think we’re going to win.” Conference play is always a physical battle, and having experience

games this season, scoring three goals including an overtime winner against Seattle University earlier this month to capture the Ohana Hotels and Resorts No Ka Oi tournament title. Tied for third on the team in scoring, Pascua feels that her teammates are ready for the

tough road ahead. “We’re deﬁnitely more comfortable with each other and as a team,” Pascua said. “We’re young, especially our backline, but everything seems really good now. I think it’s going to be good.” With a young team that’s full of energy, there has been great competition within the squad which was something that was not lost on coach Nagamine as she spoke to her players after Wednesday’s practice. “The people who are in the starting lineup, the people who are coming off the bench, need to understand that they have that opportunity to compete,” Nagamine said. “It needs to start here at training. You know, you’re not going to get the beneﬁt of the doubt by dogging it in

training. Dogging it in training gets you bench time, not ﬁeld time.” Field time is the only thing that matters to the players, especially heading into the two-game homestead next weekend. The Rainbow Wahine will play their ﬁrst Big West match of the season against Cal State Fullerton, who defeated UH last season in overtime by a score of 2-1. The second match of the homestead will be against UC Riverside, who also defeated the Rainbow Wahine 2-0 last season. The match against Cal State Fullerton will kickoff Thursday, Oct. 2 at the Waipi‘o Peninsula Soccer Stadium at 7 p.m., and the match against UC Riverside will take place on Sunday, Oct. 5 with kickoff at 5 p.m. Admission is free and open to the public.

Time to improve Warrior offense looks for consistency during extended break

SOURCE FREEPIK; MARK LOHDE / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

Ikaika Woolsey has a 45 percent completion rate with a single touchdown this season as a starter.. NICK HUTH SPORTS EDITOR

When asked about where the Warrior football team (1-3) was during its only bye week of the season, wide receiver and special teams standout Scott Harding winced and shook his head before answering. “We’re not happy, obviously we’re not satisﬁed with where we’re at,” Harding said. “The four games that we’ve played, we had a chance to win them all and we only came away with one. We could have been 4-0 or 3-1, so we have some work to do.” As part of an offensive unit that has scored touchdowns on only 35 percent of its possessions in the red zone, Harding believes that the team’s struggles boil down to scoring points. “As an offensive team, we’ve got to do better,” Harding said. “We’re not putting up points for our team to win so it’s on our offense to put some points up next week.” MAKING THE PLAYS ON DEFENSE

As the leader in tackles for the improved Warrior defense, linebacker Julian Gener had a more positive outlook on the Hawai‘i season thus far. The margin of defeat for the Warriors has never reached double digits this season – a situation that occurred in three of Hawai‘i’s ﬁrst four games last year. “It’s a good sign, of course it’s not a great sign but it’s a good sign,” Gener said. “We’re in the right direction, but we have to learn to ﬁnish games.”

Contrary to Gener’s comments, the Warriors are outscoring their opponents 45-21 in the second half of their four games this season. When playing from behind, the Hawai‘i defense has allowed just a single touchdown after halftime. The only time that the Warriors had a lead to protect was against Northern Iowa, which was also the only time that the defense looked vulnerable at the end of games. “We want to play like it’s 0-0 or play like we’re down no matter what. When you’re playing without a lead and you’re down, of course you’re

Hawai‘i has scored this season have come off a turnover. “We just have one mindset and that’s to stop their offense. Whatever our offense puts up we have to make sure they score one (point) under that,” Gener said. GETTING IN THE END ZONE

Hawai‘i is third in the Mountain West in ﬁrst downs this season, signifying a success at moving the chains that Harding noticed as team captain after the loss to Colorado. But touchdowns in the red zone have been a problem for the team since

“Well this week’s just all about trying to get better as a team. We’re working on Rice but it’s more about getting ourselves right than worrying about Rice.” – KEVIN CLUNE DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR

trying to make a play,” Gener said. “But when you’re playing with the lead sometimes you get a little cautious.” When trying to “make a play,” the Warrior defense has directly contributed to the scoreboard in a positive way. Hawai‘i has outscored its opponents 46-14 in points off turnovers this year. Considering that the team has only had three interceptions, three fumbles and a blocked kick, the offense has been able to turn the defensive success into opportunistic offense. Over half of the points

Joey Iosefa was injured against Oregon State. “Our defense did really well in the second half to stop them and for some reason our offense couldn’t convert in the red zone, and it killed us in the end,” Harding said immediately after the game in Colorado. Among all Division I teams this season, Hawai‘i is tied for first in total field goals made with 10 alongside Arizona, Virginia and Ball State. The Warriors racked up four field goals against Colorado for their only points of the day, but were unable

to get across the goal line in three appearances in the red zone. The ﬁrst downs and ﬁeld goals haven’t directly led to success for the Hawai‘i offense, with them falling all the way to ninth in points scored in the Mountain West after the 12-point effort against the Buffaloes. Gener, who’s racked up 25 solo tackles from the linebacker position, hopes that the offense will come. “Whatever the offense can do for us, we’re grateful for and we’re just going to have their back no matter what,” Gener said. “We can’t really put anything on them or blame them if things aren’t going right; we just have to keep playing like it’s 0-0 every time.” The bye week is also a time for coaches and players to work on minor improvements instead of focusing on a game plan for the game against Rice on Oct. 4. “Well this week’s just all about trying to get better as a team. We’re working on Rice but it’s more about getting ourselves right than worrying about Rice,” defensive coordinator Kevin Clune said. NEXT GAME
