FLOATOPIA SAMMI BAUMGARTNER Special Issues Editor

SAMMI BAUMGARTNER / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

AMAN SHELL/ KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

In 2011, the first Floatopia in Hawai‘i was thrown at the Ala Moana Beach Park, where students attended in masses. “Imagine a floating world in the ocean,” said a spokesperson for Project K, the group that put together Floatopia for the past three years. “Think of all your friends going into the ocean with floaties. No rules, anything goes.” The event, also known as Floatilla, originated in Santa Barbara, Calif., and is popular throughout the United States. The idea is for students to come and

have a good time, according to Project K. This year, Project K and Floatilla Hawai‘i claim to have something new and exciting planned, but the only way to find out about the party is through word-of-mouth and exclusive Facebook invites. This is to prevent police enforcement interference. For the past two years, the Honolulu police have made their presence known during spring break in Waikīkī. It is easy to determine where the party is going to be, especially when students are traveling in groups with floatation devices. Safety – for students and tourists – is a priority of HPD. Despite heavy enforcement, students will still attend the event, and Project K understands this. The group strongly discourages drinking and driving, underage drinking and having open containers. Project K wants the experience to be the best part of spring break for students; therefore, maintaining a low profile is key. If everyone attends with a responsible mindset, then the police will not have to get involved. Aside from keeping the cops at bay, various other details are taken into consideration while planning. An unpopulated beach, DJs and transportation are all factors that Project K considers during the beginning stages. This year, transportation and a DJ are being considered, but nothing is set aside from the date: March 22, 2014. Project K wants the event to be a safe and “epic rager” for everyone. If you plan on attending, drink responsibly and make good decisions.

Make your spring break meaningful NOELLE FUJII News Editor

Spring break can be more than partying all day and night. Imagine going on a hike to a waterfall or traveling to another island. There are many things that one can do with a week free of school; here are some ideas to help give your break a purpose. HIKE There are hundreds of trails in the Hawaiian Islands, and spring break is a perfect time to explore. If you’re sticking around O‘ahu for the week, set a goal to find a hike you’ve never done before. If you’re new to hiking, start easy with Mānoa Falls or the Lanikai Pillboxes. Both hikes can take up to a couple of hours, depending on how fast you go and how long you want to stay, but there is a rewarding view once you reach your destination. If you’re more experienced, try the Pali Puka hike for a view of East O‘ahu.

TRAVEL Looking for an adventure? Island-hop to Maui, Kaua‘i or the Big Island to broaden your options. Make it your mission to travel around the island and try something new every day. Go to Hanalei Bay on Kaua‘i to snorkel and relax in the sun or take a helicopter tour of the waterfalls of West Maui. Going to another island can be refreshing, especially where there’s no big city or frustrating traffic. Switching up islands can be the type of peaceful break you need after a long semester. VOLUNTEER If hiking isn’t high on your interests list and travel is out of your price range, try giving back to the community. Take this week of free time as an opportunity to volunteer for various organizations and events. The Hawaiian

Humane Society is always looking for extra help. Volunteers are required to work a three-hour shift every week for a minimum of three months, but what better time to start than during break? You can also volunteer for the Honolulu Habitat for Humanity, which builds houses every Saturday for low-income families. Other opportunities to help the less fortunate include Lanakila Meals on Wheels, a provider of more than 250,000 meals a year to people with disabilities, or the Hawai‘i Food Bank, where your help can be accompanied by a donation of canned foods. Setting goals for yourself is a great way to give your break a purpose. Take some quality time to yourself and explore nature. Lend a helping hand to your community to give yourself a feeling of accomplishment at the end of your break. Don’t laze around your room all week. Go out and get going.

‘Staycation’: O‘ahu’s best resorts for spring break

Spring into

fashion

ANTOINETTE RANIT / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

B R AD D ELL Features Editor

With air fare so expensive and the break so shor t, it’s of ten dif ficult for students to leave the island. Thankfully, O‘ahu is known for hosting some of the world’s best hotels and resor ts. Turn your planned vacation into a “staycation” by staying at one of these top-rated hotels.

THE NORTH SHORE EXPERIENCE Turtle Bay Resort To get the ultimate Nor th Shore hotel experience, stay at the Tur tle Bay Resor t, between Kahuku and Kawela Bay. Situated on a small peninsula, the three-winged hotel provides an ocean view from almost ever y window. The hotel was featured in “Forgetting Sarah Marshall.” The resor t owns 840 acres of land and boasts miles of beach right outside its doors for guests to spend the day. Suites and beach bungalows are also of fered for an extra charge. The resor t also

includes fine dining, pools, a spa, tennis cour ts and two golf courses that are of ten used in tournaments. While not cheap, Tur tle Bay Resor t is the only resor t of its kind on the Nor th Shore.

RELAXATION IN SERENITY JW Marriott Ihilani Ko Olina Resort & Spa Located on the Leeward Coast and sitting next to the Kohola Lagoon, Ko Olina is a getaway from the bustle of busy island life located half an hour from Honolulu. The open atmosphere of the resort offers refreshing ambience, with the smell of the sea wafting into the lobby through its plantation shutters. With 13 floors, many of the furnished rooms offer excellent views of the ocean and surrounding coast. The lagoon presents a beach experience with small waves, allowing less confident swimmers to enjoy the waters. Ko Olina focuses on providing a relaxed stay with access to adventure via the nearby marina used for sailing and diving excursions.

CONNECT WITH YOUR INNER KID Aulani Disney Resort Also located in Ko Olina, Aulani is one of the newer hotels, brought to O‘ahu in 2011. While Aulani integrates Hawaiian culture and tradition into its theme, it also includes the magical touch of Disney with movie decorations throughout the resor t, as well as characters in costume wandering throughout the grounds. The resor t includes a spa, restaurants, a pool complex with two slides, a lazy river and an ar tificial snorkeling lagoon. Rooms come in four types and are designed to convey the Disney tone without sacrificing classiness. Aulani makes it clear that the resor t is a paradise for kids and adults alike. BEACH AND CITY BALANCE

Hilton Hawaiian Village Beach Resort

waiian Village is situated in the midst of Waikīkī. The resor t is almost a village with almost 3,000 rooms, a spa, five pools, 20 restaurants and dozens of shops. Guests also have walking-distance access to the rest of Waikīkī. With imaginative pool designs, starlight lū’aus, beachfront and weekly Friday firework shows, visitors get their money’s wor th.

LUXURIOUS LIVING Kahala Hotel and Resort Resting at the foot of Diamond Head is one of the hidden gems of Hawai‘i hotels – Kahala Hotel and Resor t. Due to its residential location, reviewers have noted, “You’re so close to Waikīkī, but it feels like you’re on a private island.” The hotel is best known for its luxurious decor and ser vices. The rooms are furnished with ivor y and coffee tones and have hand-woven rugs and poster beds. The peaceful atmosphere is complemented with a soothing spa and breathtaking views. The resor t has won many awards for its excellence.

Exploring your backyard: mini-road trip guide for O‘ahu 9

BRAD DELL Features Editor Many residents of O‘ahu crave long road trips on the Mainland due to severe cases of “island fever.” While a road trip around O‘ahu might not be as long, the wise planner can definitely see and do just as many interesting things as they could in a weeklong road trip on the Mainland. Take advantage of O‘ahu’s attractions and scenic roads this spring break with this mini road trip guide. 1. Waikīki Beach: Load up on snacks at one of the numerous local ABC stores in Waikīkī and be sure to buy disposable cameras to document the trip. 2. Halona Beach Park: Check out the blowhole near the scenic road. Also keep an eye out for whales and watch bodyboarders tackle the fierce waves of Sandy Beach in the distance. 3. Kailua: A beautiful beach community with some of the best-looking water in Hawai‘i. Check out some of the unique shops surrounding the coast and watch windsurfers and kitesurfers take advantage of the windy location. 4. Nu‘uanu Pali Lookout: Travel down the Pali Highway to the lookout, perched between towering mountains and overlooking the O‘ahu coast thousands of feet below. The drive to and from the lookout is breathtakingly beautiful. 5. Kaneohe Bay: Drive along the highway and pass Kaneohe Bay, popular for its sandbar and amazing scenery. 6. Valley of the Temples: Visit the replica of the ByodoIn Temple from Uji, Japan for a serene experience while visiting the peacocks and koi that reside there.

Road trip time without stops: Approximately four hours. 7. Kualoa Ranch: Any film buff would love to visit Kualoa Ranch to tour the location that has been featured in several award-winning Hollywood films. It has a spectacular mountain range encompassing it as well. 8. Giovanni’s Aloha Shrimp: Hungry yet? Get a taste of Giovanni’s famous shrimp in Kahuku while travelling toward the next destination.

9. Sunset Beach: Known for its high surf and of course, great sunsets, Sunset Beach is one of the best beaches to visit when driving along the coast. 10. Waimea Bay: Yet another local-favorite beach, Waimea is usually swimmer-friendly and is known for “The Rock,” a cluster of rocks that stands 20 to 40 feet high and provides a jumping point for daredevil visitors.

11. Mokule‘ia Beach: For a fairly secluded beach experience, drive a bit farther along the coast and experience the silent beauty of Mokule‘ia. Watch skydivers parachute down to the nearby airfield, or go stargazing at night.

12. Hale‘iwa Town: Hale‘iwa provides the perfect beach town experience with wooden buildings, a plethora of surfers, exotic shops and delicious dining opportunities. Be sure to get shave ice from Matsumoto’s.

13. Dole Plantation: Take the trip through central O‘ahu, and visit Dole Plantation. Try out some of their pineapple treats, like the famous Dole Whip, and see which of your friends can complete the Pineapple Garden Maze first. 14. Tantalus: For the best sunset view, drive up the long, windy roads of Tantalus until you reach the lookout. The view overlooking Honolulu never ceases to amaze visitors. Have your camera ready. 15. Waikīkī: Ditch your car and explore the exciting nightlife of Waikīkī. Be sure to check the Ka Leo app to see which restaurants offer UH deals to get a discounted dinner.

SURFING YOUR WAY THROUGH SPRING BREAK BRIDGET KITSON Contributing Writer

Whether you are an avid surfer or just starting out, with classes out for spring break there will be plenty of time to ride the waves. Here are a few tips to help you find the tide and get the most out of your break. Waikīkī is close, but is guaranteed to be over-crowded during break. There are plenty of other great surf spots around the island that aren’t too hard to find. Sandy

Beach Park is a short drive away, and even if it isn’t an ideal swimming beach, the waves can make for a nice ride. Since winter is ending and spring is approaching, the south shore is going to start seeing good swells, and the west shore still has some nice waves. The Diamond Head Lighthouse is shielded from the trade winds by Diamond Head, mak-

ing for a steady stream of smooth waves. To surf the legendary Banzai Pipeline at North Shore, take a trip up to Ehukai Beach Park. North Shore is still seeing a few swells, but that won’t last all spring. Before you leave, find out where the best waves will be. Make sure to check how the waves are hitting the shore you’re headed to so you are prepared. Nobody wants their

day ruined by flat waters. Ka Leo’s app has an up-to-date surf report that you can check out before you head to your favorite spot. No matter what level surfer you are, there are plenty of spots on the island where you can find waves just your size. Remember to use good judgment and be safe. Make the most of your break, and go find those beautiful spring swells.

Enjoying the break without ever leaving your home FADI YOUKHANA Associate News Editor Stress from school, work and other struggles of college can push some students to stay indoors to relax during spring break. Staying indoors, however, does not have to be dull. Here are some activities to explore during the break: WATCH SPORTS March Madness can be the main feature during spring break for basketball fanatics. This year’s NCAA Tournament is predicted to be exciting because of the number of teams that could be crowned champion. With the playing field being relatively equal, underdogs have a higher chance of advancing deep into the late rounds.

KINSEY JUSTA / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

VIDEO GAMES For video game enthusiasts, spring break offers an opportunity to explore new games. Some of the most anticipated games to be released during spring break include “Diablo III: Reaper of Souls” Collector’s Edition, “Titanfall” and “Dark Souls II.”

WORK OUT The mind is under constant challenges from school, and sometimes the rest of the body falls behind. A week without school is a perfect opportunity to refresh the body via workouts. Simple aerobic exercises can rejuvenate the body’s health and fitness. Or, take this chance to start a daily routine, such as Insanity.

NETFLIX/TV The vacation from academics represents an opportunity for entertainment lovers to catch up on their favorite show(s). Taking advantage of free time to relax and watch movies and shows is a cozy way to enjoy spring break from indoors.

HOME IMPROVEMENTS Remodeling and home improvement projects are physically demanding and require a time commitment. However, with spring break around the corner, projects to improve rooms, bedrooms, apartments and/or houses are an effective change of gear from textbooks. At the end of break, your renovation will be visual proof of your productivity.

COOKING During the regular school routine, students often don’t have the time or resources to try new recipes. Spring break represents the leisure time necessary to explore different cuisines. Students can also cook large portions of food to save in the freezer for the busier days throughout the rest of the semester. KINSEY JUSTA / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

READING While some students will stay away from reading during the break, others will prefer to pick up a book or two and enjoy recreational reading. Most of us have a list of books that we would like to read if time permitted. Assigned reading for class can put a damper on reading for fun, but spring break can provide the opportunity to do so. According to Barnes & Noble, popular new releases include “The Future of the Mind” by Michio Kaku, “Killer” by Jonathan Kellerman and “I am Malala” by Malala Yousafzai. Go to page 17 for more recommendations.

WRITING When was the last time you sat down and wrote for recreational reasons? Writing is a good way to relieve stress and express thoughts that may not be suitable to be spoken. Write a story or a poem for a good change of pace from transcribing notes in the classroom.

Books to expedite your travels

NICOLYN CHARLOT

Associate Features Editor

ʻInto the Beautiful Northʻ By Luis Alberto Urrea

ʻNakedʻ By David Sedaris

ʻThe Princess Brideʻ By William Goldman

ʻProdigal Summerʻ By Barbara Kingsolver

“Into the Beautiful North” is a story about a quest, but not the stereotypical type with dragons and swordfights. This novel is about a young woman named Nayeli who works at a taco shop in a small Mexican village. Many of the men in her town have travelled to the United States for work, leaving the town vulnerable to drug traffickers. After seeing the American western “The Magnificent Seven,” Nayeli decides to travel north in order to find seven men, including her father, to protect and repopulate the village. This gripping story has beautiful prose, heart-wrenching moments, dark humor and wit. Not only is the plot engrossing, but it also addresses issues surrounding the United States/Mexico border. This is a tale that will make your own travels pass swiftly.

This collection of essays, written by award-winning comedian David Sedaris, will keep you engaged for hours, plane or no. Sedaris reflects upon his dark memories with both humor and sharp wit, conveying relatable self-analysis. Many of the essays involve Sedaris’ younger years, such as “A Plague of Tics,” which describes his experience with Tourette syndrome as a child. “I Like Guys” depicts Sedaris’ realization of his homosexuality and the struggles he faced because of it. The collectionʻs eponymous essay “Naked” is an amusing and engaging piece about the time Sedaris spent at a nudist colony when he was older. There are more than 15 essays in the book, each one with its own unique charms and witticisms which guarantee entertainment for all readers.

You’ve probably seen the movie, but have you read the book that inspired it? “The Princess Bride” is a classic tale of romance, adventure and fantasy. It is the story of farm girl Buttercup and her true love Westley, and the many adventures and people they encounter during their time together and apart. Though the plot is similar to that of the movie, picking up this novel is entirely worthwhile because of Goldman’s sharp humor and the wonderful details that were unfortunately excluded from the film. Even if you already know how it ends, this book is undoubtedly a page-turner, and it will make any long flight breeze by.

Entwining the lives of three individuals living in a small farming community in southern Appalachia, Kingsolver brings to life themes of independence, love of nature and human desires. One plotline focuses on Deanna, a biologist staying in an isolated cabin where she keeps track of the coyotes in the region. Her seclusive lifestyle is turned upsidedown by a young hunter she meets in the woods. Another plot line features Lusa, a woman originally from the city, who married a farmer and now faces the challenges of subsistence farming. Garnett, the central figure in the third narrative, is an elderly man who strives to preserve the American chestnut tree, despite difficulties with his neighbor. These three characters have rich lives that draw the reader in, and by overlapping their tales, Kingsolver produces a beautiful and meaningful story that is an ideal read for spring break.

REVIEW On the day prior to returning to school, go over material that was covered before spring break to refresh your memory. Reviewing content before returning to class will help you keep up the next day. It is also a good way to discover if you fully understood some concepts.

REGISTRATION Registering for next semester must be kept in mind, as registration dates are coming up soon. Schedule talks with academic advisors early after spring break in order to beat the rush of students trying to get last-minute advising. Furthermore, if you plan on attending summer school, registration for classes has already been made available to UH Mānoa students. If you are graduating next semester, make sure to check that all the requirements and paperwork have been fulfilled so you don’t have any unwelcome surprises.

Back to school so soon? How to get back into the swing of things after break ends FADI YOUKHANA Associate News Editor Taking a break from academics is necessary in order to keep the mind rejuvenated. However, we must be able to recover and return to the classroom setting to prevent the semester from going down the drain. Here are some helpful tips to keep up with academics after spring break:

ASHLEY AHN / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

MIDTERMS Classes that include midterms will probably have one or two more before finals. Midterms after spring break and before finals are crucial to keeping or bringing up your grade. In some cases, it can make or break you. Since some of the material was interrupted by the break, spend some extra time studying for these midterms. PAPERS Unlike midterms, papers and essays can be stressfree if procrastination is eliminated. If you have papers due in the next month, finish a complete draft early in order to reduce the amount of homework in April and May. Finish as much as possible now so tasks don’t pile up during the end of the semester. Prevent extra stress by planning ahead.

RESOURCES If you are struggling in a class, the time to rescue your grade is now. The last thing every student wants to do is depend on a final in order to pass a class. Use professors, teaching assistants and other resources to get help early on. There are tutoring stations across campus that are open for help. Bilger Addition 209, Sinclair’s available tutors, the Writing Center in Kuykendall 415 and the Nagatani Academic Center are some of the facilities available for students who seek academic help.

PRIORITIZE Some classes are weighted more heavily on the gradepoint average than others. Thus, the heavier the class, the more time you should dedicate to it. Classes that are three or four credits should receive a higher priority than those for one or two credits. Furthermore, classes that you are struggling in should be at the top of the list.

20 The don’ts of spring break Staying healthy during spring break NICOLYN CHARLOT Associate Features Editor

DON’T GET BURNED Having an entire week free from school provides the perfect opportunity to go to the beach. However, even if you are desperate to work on your tan, don’t forget to protect against the ultraviolet rays. You don’t want to fry on your first day off and be miserable for the rest of your vacation. Even if you aren’t going to the beach, it is worth dabbing on a bit of protection if you plan on spending time outside for hiking, jogging or other activities. DON’T BE CONSTANTLY HUNGOVER Spring break is a time for parties, but you don’t want to be stuck with a raging headache for the hours between frivolities. Drink lots of water, and know what your limits are. If you must, attempt “tried-andtrue” hangover cures (if any exist), but prevention is best. Be smart when you drink, and you will have plenty of fun during spring break, unlike those who will waste too many precious hours hanging over a toilet. DON’T BE LAZY Though one may be tempted to sleep away the week, it would be wise to only spend a few days on rest. Get some Zs in, but then get up and get out. There are plenty of things to do during spring break, and you don’t want to waste any opportunities. Go to the beach, explore a new hike, take a skydiving lesson or read a book – there are many alternatives to lying in bed or catching up on Netflix. You don’t want to realize too late that you’ve wasted your break doing nothing, so avoid idleness. DON’T FORGET SCHOOL No, it isn’t fun to spend your entire spring break doing homework, and that should not be the case, but donʻt ignore the existence of school, either. Although it is easy to spend the majority of your vacation procrastinating, try to get some work done ahead of time so you will feel guiltfree when you are out having fun. Perhaps dedicate that first Saturday or Sunday to completing assignments and preparing study guides for upcoming tests so you will be more liberated for the remainder of the vacation. The initial days won’t be ideal, but the result of a relaxing and relatively workfree break will be worthwhile.

TARYN SHIMIZU Staff Writer Spring break is an opportunity to get outdoors and enjoy the island. However, health often takes a lower priority during the break due to preoccupations like time spent partying or at the beach. No matter what activities you take part in during break, keep your body happy with these health tips. Protect your skin: While at the beach, it is a common goal to soak up the sun and get a tan. People often forget to put on sunscreen and wear hats to prevent skin damage that can cause cancer. Catch some Zs: With the recent surge of midterms, many students are suffering from sleep deprivation. It’s important to get an average of seven to nine hours to improve overall health. Fatigue, headaches, weight loss or gain and reduced brain functioning are side effects of sleep deprivation. If possible, a short nap can help re-energize your body for the rest of the day. Stay hydrated: Whether it’s hiking or going to the beach, it is always important to bring a bottle of water. Staying hydrated is key to feeling good and having a good time. Water can also help with boosting metabolism and preventing overeating. Balance partying with other activities: Others may spend the break staying out all night with friends and grabbing a few drinks. Although having time to de-stress and socialize with friends can contribute to a healthy lifestyle, it is important to have balance. Going

out may not be ideal for your health. Take a break from partying and use the opportunity to start an exercise routine. Get moving: Sometimes students feel that there isn’t time for exercising, but the benefits make it worth the extra effort in the long run. Free membership at the University of Hawai‘i’s Fitness Center is available with a valid student ID. Free weights, cardiovascular equipment and other equipment are available. You could also get involved with intramural sports. Students can sign up to play basketball, flag football, indoor soccer, volleyball and softball. Eat healthy: With genetically modified foods rising, organic food is always the best option. Red Ginger Health Café, Pit Stop Food Truck and HiBlend Health Bar and Café are great options for organic food and a healthier choice, and they are all close to campus. It is your choice to live a healthy lifestyle, but many assume that it’s inconvenient, time consuming or expensive. It is the choices we make now that will affect our future. Start off small: A few minutes of working out or replacing soda with water will make a difference. It always helps to have a friend to encourage the journey to a healthy lifestyle, so grab a friend and get started.

“What’s the craziest thing that’s happened to you during spring break?” SAMMI BAUMGARTNER Special Issues Editor AUSTIN COEN/ KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Wet and wild EVANGELINE COOK Staff Writer

Sean Williams Sophomore Philosophy “I went camping for a week, and whilst I was camping, that whole rainstorm – the 40 days and 40 nights thing – happened. I was up to my knees in mud. We left on day three.”

Kelsey Wong Sophomore History “I was wearing a strapless bathing suit and I was under the water, and when I popped out, I threw my hands in the air – but my bikini top did not follow me out.”

Kiana Pascua Senior FAMR “I went through irrigation ditches. There’s this tubing ride where you sit in a blow up, inflatable tube with lights on your head and you go through the irrigation ditches.”

Looking to complement your spring break with a party? Sometimes being the host of a party can be overwhelming and take all the fun out of it. This guide will help you ease the stress and throw a successful spring break party. Step one: Make a team. Don’t dive into this on your own. Get together with at least four or five of your close friends. Make a project out of it. Give everyone in the group an assignment for them to focus on. From now on, you guys are a team: a party team. You’re in it together to celebrate a funfilled week in the sun. Step two: Pick a location. Think outside the box -– not your average backyard barbecue with a couple of your close friends and some beers. This spring break you must go above and beyond. Throw a party that everyone will be talking about next semester. You could host a large beach party at Lanikai beach. The widespread sand and sweet touch of the ocean is inviting enough to attract a crowd of willing partiers.

cheapest rates on renting an inflatable water slide for a day. Put your money together and set the slide up in the middle of the beach. Most importantly, be ready to have the time of your life.

Step five: Potluck. Make things a little easier for yourself. When sending out the invitations, make sure to include that it is a potluck. This way everyone will bring their own dish to the party, and you won’t have to worry about catering food or spending unnecessary cash.

Step six: Drinks. Everyone pitch in. Don’t leave one person hanging to buy all of the drinks; instead, have all the people that are planning on drinking pitch in to one big fund. Then you (the party planner) and your few close friends can go pick out your favorite drinks. Or make it even easier and tell everyone to bring their own. Disclaimer: If you are of age, remember that it is illegal to have open containers of alcohol in public. Keep this in mind when selecting a location, and don’t drink and drive.

Step seven: Music. Get a DJ or rent a small sound system from ACE Hardware. Get the party team together and create the ultimate party playlist that will have the crowd dancing all day and night.

Step three: Talk to people. Talk among your friends and see what day works best for most people, then plan accordingly. Create invitations or send out a mass text to all of your friends, including a location, date, time and what to bring.

Step eight: Get the party started. Greet everyone as they show up. Show them where to put the food and where they can find drinks. Make sure everyone is happy and introduce people who don’t know each other. Finally, take some time to kick back and relax. You’ve done all you can; don’t spend the whole party worrying about whether everyone is having a good time.

Step four: Water slide. If you want people to talk about this party for years to come, then it’s time to invest in a water slide. Your average spring break party consists of some martinis and an inflatable pool. This spring break, we’re ready to get wet and wild. Get your party team together to find the

Step nine: Make sure everyone is safe. Most importantly, make sure every one of your guests has a safe ride home. Ensure that nobody gets left behind, including yourself. Go home, drink some water, sleep it off and prepare to deal with a hangover the next morning.

27 Cheerleaders perform at football, basketball and volleyball games. GAVIN SHIGESATO/ KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Hawai‘i cheer team seeks new members JOEY RAMIREZ Sports Editor Eight years ago, head coach Mike Keolaokalani Baker put together a video for the University of Hawai‘i cheer team intended to encourage more students to try out. Featuring an array of complex stunts, it may have been a bit too impressive. “It scared everybody away,” he said. “Everybody thought you had to be a finished product to be at the University of Hawai‘i, like it was a professional team or something.” “It (had) like over 400,000 views in a short amount of time, and that year we had the lowest number of (auditions).” Now, with tryouts approaching for the 2014-15 season, Baker stresses that the stunts seen in the video come with practice, and those that want to audition do not need prior experience. Similarly, being a seasoned cheerleading veteran won’t guarantee anybody a spot. “People who bleed green tend to be in

the program the longest. They make it all the way through,” Baker said. “If they’re just competition-oriented only, a lot of times it doesn’t always work out.” “Having that heart and that passion is one thing. Skills and all that can come later,” said Leeann Nguyen, who is rounding

1990s, recalls having a partner who would be hard to miss on today’s squad. “I thought I was 5’10, until she told me she was 5’10,” he said. “Then I realized I was 5’9 and a half.” Though Baker says an athletic background helps for male candidates, it does require a

out her final year of cheering for Hawai‘i. “A lot of teams across the nation, they just think of competition, competition, competition. They don’t really think about the athletic program or the school.” Unlike other teams, Hawai‘i does not have a height limit for female cheerleaders, but recently most have been five feet or shorter. Baker, who cheered for Hawai‘i in the mid-

few adjustments, ranging from smiling during performances, “so they don’t scare people,” to more drastic changes. “In some other sports, if you’re not quite focused you miss a basket. … But at a practice, if you miss something it may not be a big deal,” Baker said. “You can’t just miss a girl like you miss a basket.” However, both Baker and Nguyen agree that

the experience of being on the team is worth the focus and work required in practice. “When I first joined right out of high school, I was very shy and conservative,” Nguyen said. “I’m still a little bit of an introvert, but when I’m out in front of the fans, I really just do my thing. With the fans supporting us back, it just makes it much easier to be out in front of thousands of people.” Baker also said that tryouts will encompass that same spirit of support. “A lot of teams across the country, it’s very much like the ‘Bring it On’ movie. They’ll be eyeballing each other and this and that,” Baker said. “That just doesn’t work in Hawai‘i.”

28 How athletes feel about playing during spring break HAYLEY MUSASHI Associate Sports Editor Spring break is a time for college students to let loose and enjoy their last moments of freedom before cramming for their upcoming exams, but for some athletics teams, the term “break” is not in their vocabulary. Training day in and day out, most athletes are accustomed to spending their free time either in the weight room or on the field, so spring break becomes more similar to a training camp due to the extended availability of the student-athletes. Instead of complaining about early morning practices or leaving the Aloha State for competition, many of these student-athletes relish their time away from the island. “I don’t mind leaving for spring break because I’ve never had a spring break,” senior baseball player Jerry Kleman said. “Baseball season is always during spring break, and since we live here in Hawai‘i, it’s kind of like we are always at a spring-break destination.” After playing four games against Alabama-Birmingham the first weekend of break, the Rainbow Warrior baseball team

heads to Santa Barbara for a four-game conference series. For some athletes, such as freshman track and field runner Caitlyn Foss, competition on the mainland is a time when they are able to see friends and loved ones who would have otherwise not been able to see them until summer. “I am really excited about traveling to Las Vegas during spring break,” Foss said. “Even though I’ll be away from the warm, sunny weather in Hawai‘i, every opportunity to travel and compete is worth taking, especially when knowing my family will be there to support me. The Rainbow Wahine track and field team will keep themselves busy during break by traveling to their first outdoor meet of the season at University of Nevada, Las Vegas. While the men’s Warrior volleyball team has a bye week during spring break, the squad will utilize this opportunity to prepare to close out the regular season and send their seniors out with a win the following weekend. “I made a commitment to be part of a Divi-
