An accidental politician Rep. Isaac Choy says he accomplished his goal of creating a conversation on UH’s budget crisis SHIWANI JOHNSON SENIOR STAFF WRITER

As the chairman of the House Committee on Higher Education (HED), there is not much that goes on at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa that state Rep. Isaac Choy does not know at least something about. The university’s budget crisis is an example of this. Choy – who represents District 23 encompassing Mānoa, Punahou, University and Mo‘ili‘ili, and has been in ofﬁce since 2008 – and his committee recently came under ﬁre from students and faculty after the introduction of his House Bill 555. The bill would have discontinued approximately 33 undergraduate degree programs because of their small number of majors. The bill was deferred on Feb. 5, but Choy said the bill served its purpose by starting a discussion about a matter — the university’s budget crisis — that needed attention. “A lot of times when people see problems they would rather just stick their heads in the sand and hide. Sometimes, as politicians we want to have a discussion. 555 is a great example [of that],” Choy said. The aftermath of HB 555 is exactly what Choy was hoping for: now, he said, students and faculty are aware of the performances of certain departments and administrators are thinking about ways to attract students and save money. CONCERNED AND INVOLVED

Due to his involvement with the university on multiple levels, Choy has strong opinions on the budget and management of UH. In an issue of his monthly Prevailing Winds newsletter in 2013, he likened the children’s story called “The Emperor’s New Clothes” to the management of the university. Choy acknowledges that UH has come a long way since that time, making efforts to assess the budget crisis and problems within the administration. He also acknowledges that the Legislature, in giving autonomy to the university, was partly responsible for these crises. “At the time I felt that book, that little book, was exactly how the university administration was,” he said. “They denied that they had no clothes on; they were in denial. Since that time, I think they are looking in the mirror and saying ‘Wait a min-

ute, I have no clothes on!’... The Legislature at the time was part of the problem. We were in denial too.” The overall improvement of UH, his district and the state as a whole are what Choy says he works for seven days a week. Linda Ichiyama, representative for District 32 and vice chairwoman for the HED, works alongside Choy and appreciates his work style and communication skills. “Chair Choy is very proud of the university and wants it to be the best that it can be,” she said. “He asks a lot of tough questions and puts forth some unpopular suggestions because he really feels that this a public university that should be accessible to everyone, and that it should be a university we can all be proud of.” ROOTS TO REPRESENTATION

Choy grew up in the district he now represents. He attended Mānoa Elementary, Robert Louis Stevenson Middle School and President Theodore Roosevelt High School. He graduated from high school in 1971 and joined the Marine Corps. After the military he went to San Jose State University, where he graduated with a degree in business administration. He came back to Hawai‘i and bought a building with his father where he opened his own accounting company. “I started my own business in nineteen-seventy,” Choy said. “It was called Isaac W. Choy CPA before [we sold it].”

Choy has introduced several UH Mānoa-related bills this session, including one that would establish an ombuds office.

A lot of times when people see problems they would rather just stick their heads in the sand and hide. – ISAAC CHOY STATE REPRESENTATIVE

Choy has gained experience through many avenues and said that the biggest thing he has learned along the way is problem solving. Over time he realized that there is not just one solution to any problem and that seeking out a solution that the majority agrees on is important. In the State House of Representatives, ﬁnding a solution through problem solving that the majority accepts allows for positive progress. He uses UH as an example of problem-solving. Recently, the Queen Lili‘uokalani Center roof

improvements have been made, even simple things like washing the eaves of QLC. Whatever difﬁculties that UH Mānoa has, Choy believes that the university is a valuable asset to the district. “The University of Hawai‘ i adds to Mānoa. When people talk about the University of Hawai‘ i they always say the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa. Mānoa is a special place,” Choy said.

AN ACCIDENTAL POLITICIAN

“I am so fortunate to be able to represent the people of Mānoa [District 23]. Mānoa is an older neighborhood and it doesn’t have all those infrastructure needs like [my] colleagues from Ewa Beach, or Waianae or Kapolei, those growing areas [have]. It’s a pretty stable neighborhood,” Choy said. That stability and the opportunity it allows him to focus on other state matters, it was never his intention to go into politics. “I was selected by the Democratic Party to run,” he said. “I had no intention to run, I didn’t ask my wife, the decision was made in less than two minutes. This is my eighth year. I’m really an entrepreneur. I’m a business manager. I owned my own ﬁrm. I love professional practice. That’s my life. As long I am contributing [to politics] I’ll stay. Once I feel that I’m not contributing I’ll leave.” This idea of constant contribution and progress is the way Choy lives his life. He said he would spend his perfect day working, and

at the end he would be exhausted from having accomplished something important. “My whole life I’ve worked,” he said. “I work seven days a week. At this age I’m not gonna change. I like to work.” For a man whose ideal day would be spent working, he occasionally takes time to enjoy the more pleasant aspects of life. In the 2014 October issue of his monthly newsletter, Prevailing Winds, Choy tells of his trip to Russia with his wife. Choy and his wife take an annual trip to someplace in the world. Choy uses Prevailing Winds as means of conveying his opinions and concerns to his constituents. “My whole philosophy in politics is I don’t expect everybody to agree with everything I do. In fact that’s an impossibility. But, I always thought I want to be what I labeled a good politician. And I thought a great politician made sure that his constituents knew exactly where he stood on issues. I use to Prevailing Winds [for that], ” he said.

Bill would create selective service requirement for UH ALEX BITTER EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Men interested in enrolling at a University of Hawai‘i campus or accepting a position within state or county government would first have to register for selective military service if a legislative proposal becomes law. Poised for a vote before the full state house, HB 52 and its companion in the senate, SB 468, would require all men to register with the national Selective Service System and provide evidence of that registration to UH in order to take classes at the university. While proponents of the bill say it will help men between the ages of 18 and 26 comply with federal law and open up career opportunities, others say it could do the opposite by limiting access to jobs and education at state and county institutions. Andrew Pepper, an attorney and state director for the U.S. Selective Service System who worked with State Sen. Gilbert Keith-Agaran (D-Wailuku-Waihe‘e-Kahului) to draft the bill, said it aims to increase Hawai‘i’s 73 percent registration rate and ensure that men in the state are eligible for federal employment and other perks that require it. Acknowledging concerns about selective service’s ultimate purpose — to create a reserve of men eligible for military service during a “national emergency” — he said the U.S.’s conclusion of combat missions in Iraq and Afghanistan in the last four years means a draft is unlikely in the near future. “There has not been a draft since 1972, and the U.S. just fought two major wars without conscription,” he said. “To not register is just a tragic loss of your benefits. Given the current situation, it seems very unfortunate.” Although the moratorium on women in combat roles was eliminated in 2013, the Selective Service System does not register women. In a statement on its website, though, the system says it is capable of drafting women “given the mission and additional modest resources.” Under federal law, men who don’t register for the selective service can face a felony charge, but that part of the law is rarely enforced, Pepper said, adding that the last time someone faced such a charge in Hawai‘i was during the Vietnam War. Since that conflict, legislation has created other consequences for men who do not register. In the 1980s, Congress approved bills that made registration a requirement

for men applying for federal ﬁnancial aid for college and federal jobs. Thirty one states have laws with similar consequences for non-registrants, according to the Selective Service System. While Hawai‘ i isn’t currently among them, a state law passed in 2001 automatically registers all men who apply for or renew a driver’s license. But using universities as a point of registration could slow the enrollment process for students, said Jan Javinar, interim associate vice president for student affairs at UH. “This would be yet another piece of paper or documentation that the applicant has to turn in,” he said of the registration. Pepper said the Selective Service System provides universities with lists of men who have registered, limiting their focus to students who have not yet registered. While the law would register college-bound and state-employed men, he acknowledged that others, such as men who get jobs in the private sector directly out of high school, may still not know that they need to register. “Most aren’t resisting, they just don’t know,” he said. While the senate version of the bill has been deferred by both committees to which it was sent, the house version, introduced by State Rep. Ken Ito (D-Kāne‘ohe-Maunawili-Olomana), has been passed by three committees in as many weeks. Only one lawmaker, State Rep. Bertrand Kobayashi (D-Wai‘alae-Kahala-Diamond Head-Kaimukī-Kapahulu), has voted against the bill. “It’s pretty sweeping when you start to talk about getting an education, getting a job and getting unpaid positions in [state] government,” Kobayashi said. “It’s overreaching in that it applies to many things.” Outside of paid state jobs, he said, hundreds of volunteer positions on state boards and commissions such as the State Board of Nursing could be expected to comply. Despite the wide scope of the proposal, proponents like George Okuda, a committee clerk for State Rep. Ito who is familiar with the bill, maintain that the measure is a plus for young men. “We’re not trying to limit them but help them to expand their opportunities,” he said.

As part of Apple’s settlement with UH, his salary as a chemistry professor is nearly $300,000 a year.

Apple back in the classroom The previous chancellor is described by faculty as optimistic NICOLE DAVIS SENIOR STAFF WRITER

After leaving his position as the UH Mānoa chancellor, Tom Apple is enjoying his new job and colleagues as a professor in the chemistry department at the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa campus. Apple has been working as a tenured professor since the beginning of Spring 2015, following his dismissal last July from his UH administrative position. He currently teaches four classes – two sections of physico-chemical measurements and one section of both professional ethics for chemists and theory of chemical bonding. “It’s refreshing to see students who not only work hard in the classroom, but in the professional ﬁeld as well,” Apple said. “They value their education because a lot of them are paying for this themselves.” Apple said it was “really fun” to be back working in a classroom setting and sharing his knowledge and experience with students. After leaving research and teaching for a decade, he said he has been very appreciative of the sincere welcome from the department, his colleagues and students. JOINING THE DEPARTMENT

KA LEO MULTIMEDIA STORY Play Ka Leo’s audio story on this topic at: tinyurl.com/PlayKL-1

Apple said he was welcomed by his colleagues and that he is excited to work with all of them. He is especially grateful to be included in a research study with chemistry department

Chairwoman Kristin Kumashiro. He is currently working alongside Kumashiro on a study about elastin – a vertebrate protein with biomechanics properties. Chemistry professor Craig Jensen felt Apple has made a great addition to the department so far and works well with other students and faculty. “He volunteers to teach classes and chair committees any opportunity he gets. He’s doing this all with so much enthusiasm and continues to be very optimistic,” Jensen said. Fellow chemistry professor Marcus Tius said that Apple has been very supportive of the department. “He has volunteered for a heavy undergraduate teaching load and he has contributed his service on committees, including the Departmental Personnel Committee and also the Graduate Recruitment and Admissions Committee that I chair,” Tius said in an email interview. “Especially at this time in the department’s history, when the total number of Chemistry faculty members is very small, his willingness to help out and to reduce some of the workload of his colleagues is greatly appreciated.” Apple said he is very excited to plan new classes to teach in fall 2015, including a possible studio chemistry class for engineers and an advanced freshman course, which would be dedicated to application of engineering materials and would feature technology such as nanotechnology and semi-conductors.

EXPERIENCE BEFORE MĀNOA

Another step towards being sustainable Executive policy sets carbon neutrality, energy efficiency goals LYLE AMINE / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

The Board of Regents’ sustainability policy dictated that the executive sustainability policy be established by the president’s office. NOELLE FUJII NEWS EDITOR

The university has once again moved forward on its path to sustainability with the signing of its executive sustainability policy on Feb. 26. University of Hawai‘i President David Lassner electronically signed the policy at the third annual Hawai‘i Sustainability in Higher Education summit on campus. According to interim System Sustainability Coordinator Matthew Lynch, this policy represents a clear stake in the sand. “The university has now formalized its commitment in its policy so that we are integrating sustainability into this institution through its very DNA,” he said. AN EXECUTIVE POLICY

The purpose of this policy is to further establish goals and metrics in areas ranging from operations to curriculum to campus engagement. “Every campus has the opportunity and obligation to embrace sustainability principles for all campus activities and to set databased performance measures to improve resource use efﬁciencies, increase the generation and use of renewable energy, and conserve state social, cultural, economic and environmental resources,” the policy states. In addition, the university is also in a position to increase and transmit knowledge in sustainability, and the policy encourages research on issues that affect campus and community sustainability. BECOMING MORE SUSTAINABLE

The policy dictates that the university becomes carbon neutral by 2050. According to Lynch, this can be defined as reducing first and then offsetting the university’s carbon emissions. “A university like ours with such a high energy use, has a significant impact on our environment,” he

said. “And human-caused climate change is advancing at an ever-increasing pace. So if we are truly to be stewards of our place, then it is upon us to take measures to protect the climate.” He added that UH is one of the largest users of electricity in the state, but whatever progress the university makes in reducing its energy usage helps the state to meet its own energy efficiency goals. The policy also asks that UH be 40 percent more energy efficient than its 2008 baseline. “Furthermore there are carbon emissions that are attached as a result of energy use. So by reducing our energy use, we can reduce our carbon emissions and get closer to carbon neutrality,” he said. Lassner believes becoming carbon neutral is an ambitious goal. “I believe it’s entirely possible the reason why we set it out as 100 percent carbon neutral is to put a stake in the ground,” he said. The policy also asks the university to establish metrics and reporting mechanisms to track water stewardship, fuel efficiency, waste management and sustainable food practices. What’s important about metrics,

Lynch said, is that what gets measured gets done. “Much of the operations section of the policy articulates these different focus areas that are important to us, and really tasks us with ﬁguring out what it is that we should be measuring and tracking,” he said.

draft of their plans by 2016. All the policies and plans would be living documents that evolve and adapt as conditions change, he said. Junior Nick Abarcar, a psychology major, thinks any time an organization has it within its power to set sustainability as a goal, it should do so.

If we are truly to be stewards of our place, then it is upon us to take measures to protect the climate. – MATTHEW LYNCH INTERIM SYSTEM SUSTAINABILITY COORDINATOR

“And once we can start to think about those metrics, again what gets measured gets done, and we can then start to think about the action steps that are needed to accomplish those goals.” The campuses have also been formally tasked with creating their own sustainability implementation plans. According to Lynch, given the pace the system-wide sustainability strategy has unfolded — in regards to the Board of Regents approving its policy in 2014 and last week’s signing of the executive policy — the campuses are on track to have at least a ﬁrst

“In the grand scheme of things, [sustainability] is basically saving the world because if we don’t make this a goal the world is going to die a lot sooner than it should,” he said. FORMALIZING GROUPS FOR SUSTAINABILITY

Currently, sustainability is housed under the system vice president for administration’s office, which deals with university operations. Vice President for Administration Jan Gouveia is the first executive administrator to be tasked with the responsibility of ensuring UH is meeting its sustainability goals, Lynch said. The policy formally establishes an office of sustainability under her direction. In addition, the policy establishes two councils: one sustainability council and one sustainability curriculum council. “The sustainability council is the formally recognized and sort of created group,” Lynch said. “All of this work prior to this point has been done by voluntary, adhoc, informal, passionate people who care about this stuff, who have not been mandated to do this, who have decided that this is so important that we’re going to take the time out of our LYLE AMINE / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I  schedules to make sure that it does.” The third annual Hawai‘ i Sustainability in Higher Education summit took This group would focus on operplace over the weekend with participants who came from across the state. ations issues and would advise and

report to the operations ofﬁce. The sustainability curriculum council would advise and report to the Vice President for Academic Affairs, Lynch said. “If we are to rethink our campuses, if we were to reimagine our campuses as living laboratories, then curriculum and operations should absolutely be in communication working together,” he said. “Because what an amazing opportunity we have to connect students with real projects on the ground in their own campus to be more sustainable, to help them reduce energy use, to reduce waste, to be better stewards of their water.” MOVING AHEAD

According to Lynch, UH is looking into ways to fully resource its sustainability goals. “The fiscal climate is currently very tight,” he said. “However, sustainability is something that can largely fund itself with some seed funding.” Other campuses that have similarly embraced sustainability at their cores have utilized and harnessed savings from energy efficiency measures to fund their other sustainability initiatives. “So energy efficiency is really the cornerstone of a good sustainability plan because it has a potential to become the economic engine that can drive all of the sustainability measures,” he said. He added that the university has potential to positively impact the communities it serves. “In my mind, the university has so much potential to not just reduce its energy use but to really be a catalyst for communities to go forth and pass sustainability as a milestone along the way to thriving, flourishing communities that live in harmony with each other and that steward their natural resources and restore health to both land and people,” he said.

Teachers can educate without formal training Priority should be improving student learning

GRADUATE STUDENTS NEED MONEY, EXPERIENCE

SOURCE: ISTOCK 

UH Mānoa graduate assistants must be proficient in English if they wish to teach. MCKARL MANUEL STAFF WRITER

Teaching effectively is a sign for students that the teacher obtained the training necessary to be successful in teaching. However, teachers do not always need to go through training in order to instruct. For some employers, it is more of a preference than a necessity. This is the case in schools where prior training is optional when applying as an instructor.

HIGH STAKES

Teachers serve as gatekeepers for students, helping them learn and checking to see if they qualify to move on to the next step. At the college level, this “next step” may be where the student graduates and moves on to the next part of his or her life. When a teacher specializes in a ﬁeld but does not have the training to teach it, it would not be a surprise if the teacher’s students were a little nervous for the remainder of the term.

One of the most important things to note about the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s instructional employees is that about one-third of them are graduate assistants. In addition to having a higher teacher-to-student ratio, classes may be taught by assistants who may not yet be qualiﬁed to teach. It is common for an instructor to not have a teaching degree, as many of the positions only require a doctorate in his or her given ﬁeld, but when it comes to teaching, evidence of success is what is necessary. There are openings in which the minimum requirement is a bachelor’s degree, yet applicants without that requirement may be considered if no teacher with such credentials applies.

While students are responsible for their own learning, that responsibility is shared with the

uate teaching assistants who are gaining experience. In addition to working on their doctorate, graduate assistants are already earning less from teaching than professors and instructors. Increasing costs to schools and drops in earnings will make it difﬁcult to stay in school. Not requiring formal training will allow graduates to stay and teach in school. ADJUNCT PROFESSORS NOT A SOLUTION

An alternative to saving money would be to hire adjunct professors, but that has its limitations. While adjunct professors are paid less by the school compared to tenured professors, adjunct professors are also tied to the school by contract. The school that hires the adjunct professor has to wait until the contract expires and can then refuse to renew the contract. Adjunct professors are also hired for speciﬁc courses in which faculty members do not specialize, in addition to being hired as a response to student demand. While adjunct professors have better beneﬁts over the other options, the damage that can be incurred by faulty professors is far more costly. JUDGING BY ABILITY

Having training serves to make the teacher look better qualiﬁed, but whether he or she is truly qualiﬁed is determined by how he or she teaches. If the teaching is ineffective, the fault lies with the teacher’s capability and not the lack of training. What do you think? Let us know @KaLeoOpinions

Dealing with the deficit Academics should not suffer for athletics ALEX RELOVA CONTRIBUTING WRITER

In the last 13 years, the University of Hawai‘i athletic department has ended the fiscal year in deficit 11 times. Gib Arnold’s Oct. 2014 firing may potentially lead to the department owing another $1.4 million, nearly the amount needed to get the College of Natural Sciences out of its deficit. With the UH budget crisis, several programs have been cut in order to save money. However, rather than cutting extracurricular programs, the university has proposed to trim higher education departments. The reduction of teaching assistants (TAs) would lead to both increased university unemployment and the

reduction of classes. Departments ranging from biology to women’s studies would be impacted from the proposed budget cuts. Graduate students would not only delay their careers but may be forced to pay more than $20,000 because their TA tuition waivers would be cut. The athletic department may be important to the university economy, but UH is primarily an institute for higher learning. The ahletic department must adhere to the standards of academic policy. Student-athletes are students ﬁrst and athletes second. Therefore, it is unethical for the university to allocate more money towards athletics when the purpose of the university is in jeopardy.

OUR VOICE

UH falling short in battle against sexual assault In the wake of a Title IX audit, the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa has emailed students a link to an optional course on sexual harassment. The program’s objectives page states it aims “to enable you to identify sexual harassment behaviors.” If UH was willing to pay $60,000 for the course, it could have explored a more direct program for combatting harassment that does more than help students “identify” implications of the term. In a Ka Leo interview, UH media spokesperson Dan Meisenzahl said the course was introduced so that UH would be in compliance. He also said that in Fall 2015, administrators could begin considering whether students would receive sexual harassment training and that no decision has been made. But why not now, and why is the training only optional? “Our efforts will be more effective if we have a shared understanding of what this commitment means,” UH President David Lassner said in a letter at the beginning of the course. Students cannot be expected to acquire this “shared understanding” if the university ignores those who dismiss the training. UH should mandate the course by threatening to place a hold on the accounts of students who ignore the initiative or state intentions to require future freshmen or transfer students to complete the program as part of the admission process. Schools like University of California – Berkeley, Louisiana State University, Ohio University and the University of Portland already mandate sexual harassment programs for all students, and UH should follow suit. True, the university has recently adopted the “yes means yes” policy, which encourages afﬁrmative consent. Still, UH cannot expect to discourage students from assault through such passive means. UH needs to take direct, immediate action against sexual violence – and if the issue is to resonate with students, it might take more than an emailed link to a voluntary course. ABOUT OUR VOICE

Children who kill

Discussing the age of accountability SOURCE: ISTOCK 

The 2005 Roper v. Simmons decision by the U.S. Supreme Court abolished the death penalty for minors. KEON DIEGO CONTRIBUTING WRITER

It is questionable to give criminal responsibility solely by age. Instead, consideration must be given to concepts that are involved with a child’s potential lack of comprehension and maturity. Children are often looked upon as innocent, ignorant and incapable of criminal intent, but it is uncertain whether this is the case. Although data released by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) show the rate at which violent youth crime occurs has been steadily declining since 2009, several cases over the past ﬁve years called into question the age of criminal responsibility. In the U.S., state law establishes the age of criminal responsibility. Currently, 13 states have ﬁxed minimum ages ranging from six to 12 years old. Those that have no set standard rely on the common law age of seven. Some see these limits as insupportable.

“A minimum age of criminal responsibility below the age of 12 years is considered by the Committee not to be internationally acceptable,” the United Nations’ appointed Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC) said in a general statement. HOMICIDE

In early February in Ohio, an 11-year-old girl was charged in the fatal beating of a two-monthold infant. The infant was sleeping over for the night, by request of the 11-year-old girl, her mother being close friends with the victim’s mother. The three were on a couch downstairs when the mother fell asleep. An hour later, she was awakened to ﬁnd her daughter holding the badly beaten infant, who eventually died during surgery due to extensive internal injuries. Ohio law prohibits the girl from being tried as an adult, but she can be sent to the state’s Department of Youth Services facility until she turns 21. Last year, in another instance

of a child charged with homicide, 10-year-old Tristin Kurilla of Pennsylvania is alleged to have beat 90-year-old Helen Novak to death. He grabbed a cane, placed it around her throat and punched her in the stomach and throat several times – provoked by Novak’s yelling and his loss of temper. Because criminal homicide is excluded from the state’s juvenile law, Kurilla was charged as an adult. TREATING CHILDREN AS ADULTS

It seems prudent to designate the age of responsibility when children are considered capable of sensing right from wrong. This guideline, however, fails to be indicative of an ability to take personal responsibility to the degree adults can. A child’s environment and experiences are also vital components of any decision regarding his or her criminal accountability. “The fair imputation of criminal responsibility requires knowledge of wrongfulness, understanding of criminality and its consequences

Pedal to the metal America’s inappropriate response to low gas prices JAKE TAYLOR CONTRIBUTING WRITER

It’s time to celebrate. Gas prices are lower than they’ve been in ﬁve years. There’s never been a better time to hop in your car and drive. While you’re thinking about it, now seems like a good time to upgrade to that bigger vehicle you’ve always wanted. With these fuel prices, you can ﬁnally afford it. The rumble of the Hemi is audibe. If that seems like a ridiculous response to discounted fuel prices, that’s because it is. However, this is how America responded at the end of 2014, and it’s a sad demonstration of how shortsighted some of us have become.

March 2009. Incidentally, the year before, 2008, recorded the highest ever price of oil per barrel at $136.29. With oil prices, extreme ﬂuctuations in a short period of time are common. There are many different reasons for the inconsistencies, including geopolitical disputes or the supply of reserves. The ethics of the issue arise from the method of extraction and whether a fossil fuel based society is something that our civilization can survive on. America currently has a misguided faith in hydraulic fracturing (fracking) and the corresponding amount of oil it has provided recently, disregarding any thoughts of planetary preservation. TOO MUCH FRACKING

REASON FOR FALLING OIL PRICES

At the time of this writing, the price of crude oil is $41.75 per barrel, the lowest it has been since

As of Oct. 2014, the North Dakota Department of Mineral Resources reported there are more than 11 thousand wells currently using

fracking to obtain oil and natural gas deposits from seams in the Bakken oil field many thousands of feet below the Great Plains. The United States produced just over nine million barrels of crude oil per day in Oct. 2014, more than 1973, mostly due to this method of extraction according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Fracking has several side effects. For example, the Natural Resources Defense Council found organic and inorganic contaminants in the wastewater that are “toxic to humans and aquatic life, radioactive or corrosive.” Some people near fracking operations can light their tap water on fire because chemicals have seeped into their watershed. Also, the United States Geological Survey attributed the fivefold increase in earthquakes in central U.S. to this method of oil extraction. Moreover, not only has the atten-

and [their] internalized moral appreciation of the quality of the conduct,” Dr. Claire McDiarmid said in an article. Treating children as adults suggests a disregard to their adaptable nature and potential to change. Fundamentally, such an action implies that they have the ability to make sensible, mature decisions. This expectation is not only premature, but also opposes the commonly held belief that an individual’s mind develops most signiﬁcantly in their teenage years. This belief is displayed by the current age requirements in handling a vehicle, drinking, renting a car or starting a bank account. However, prepubescent children are considered competent enough to fully understand and grasp the implications of murder, as it affects themselves and everyone around them. The issue of criminal accountability are complex and require an in-depth examination rather than a streamlined approach to disciplining children. tion on a heightened fuel supply detracted from the fact that transitioning to emission-free energy needs to happen immediately, but the production from these wells declines roughly 80 percent after three years. It is the shortest-lived method of drilling we have utilized and falls short of a reliable energy source for the future. IMPACTING EVERYONE

Falling gas prices are relevant now because Americans bought 17 percent more full-sized SUVs and pickups in Dec. 2014 than the previous year. General Motors reported increases of 42 percent in truck sales as well as 36 percent in SUVs and crossovers. People should consider the effects of their actions, which relate to the bigger picture. No one is isolated in this interconnected world. It’s important to investigate the motivations behind such a bizarre shift in something so important to society and with such enormous implications. Not doing so is to accept the inevitable consequences and to leave yourself no choice but to endure what comes.

What’s with those neon T-shirts everyone’s wearing? AMBER NUNN KHAN / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

The campaign began in Humboldt University in 1999 with “I agree with Tom.” AMBER NUNN KHAN STAFF WRITER

If you’re a student at the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa, then it’s hard to miss the students wearing bright yellow T-shirts with the words “I Agree With Cody” printed on them. They’ve been all over campus since Feb. 24 and will continue to be worn until March 5. Cru, formally known as Campus Crusade for Christ, is hosting an outreach campaign known as “I Agree With Cody” this semester with other Christian campus ministries to increase a campus-wide conversation about God and bring awareness to who Jesus is. It is meant to give people the opportunity to ask questions about God and other spiritual conversations that would otherwise be difﬁcult or awkward to talk about. “Sometimes, especially in college, there is fear of asking about

someone’s faith or spirituality,” said Kelly Zakimi, a student and member of the leadership team of Cru. “So we want people to feel comfortable and open to be able to do that, especially through hearing other students’ stories.” WHAT ARE THEY AGREEING ABOUT?

“It is based on the premises that ‘Cody’ believes that you can have a personal relationship with God,” Cru staff member Kimiyo Brown said. Cody Nakamori is a senior that has been a member of Cru since his freshman year at UH Mānoa and has been chosen to be the ﬁgurehead of the movement this year. “He was chosen because his presence on campus, his passion for people and his powerful testimony,” Brown said. “It’s called ‘I agree with Cody,’ but it’s not really about me,” Nakamori said. “It’s about God. It’s

really about God. It’s really about having a relationship and letting students know that they can have a relationship with Jesus, with God, through Jesus. That’s our main goal. Even though it says ‘Cody’ on the shirt, it’s really that the people wearing that, they have Jesus in their hearts.” Cru will set up a board that will allow people to share their thoughts and hand out ﬂyers in Campus Center until March 5. “Our goal is not to convert people,” Zakimi said. “But to help them to ask questions and to learn more. It’s about being in a safe environment for people to explore who Jesus is.” The campaign leads up to March 5 when Nakamori will share his story of ﬁnding God along with other students that will share their beliefs through song, dance and poetry in the Art Auditorium.

A NATION-WIDE CAMPAIGN

The campaign is inspired by other Cru groups that have done it on college campuses and say it has been effective in stirring conversation. Over 200 campuses have participated in the “I Agree” campaign since 1999. “It has been different on every campus. Some people have gotten really pumped about it and others got really angry,” Brown said. “The leader of the Atheist club on another campus stepped up and wrote an article questioning why everyone was so angry about it and why everyone was okay with the presence of a ministry, but not okay with them promoting it, when nothing changed.” Cru members are hoping to unite the different campus ministries and give ministry students the opportunity to take personal steps in their faith by coming out of their comfort zone and talking with their

peers about faith and other spiritual topics. “We just really want students to truly know the one true God,” Nakamori said. MORE INFO

UH to host tenth annual Relay For Life BRAD DELL FEATURES EDITOR

The 10th annual Relay For Life, a walk-a-thon fundraiser for cancer research hosted by the American Cancer Society, will take place at the Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Field this weekend. To celebrate 10 years of holding Relay For Life on campus, this year’s theme is “Decades,” and so event participants are encouraged to dress up in clothing from their favorite decade. While the relay is supposed to be fun, UH Relay For Life chairwoman and senior microbiology major Acasia Hokama said that the event is ultimately about cancer’s impact – commemorating survivors, supporting sufferers and memorializing those who have died. “[The relay] is a fun event, but also a good reminder why the ﬁght that needs to go on, and a time to

remember the people that you’ve lost,” Hokama said. “And to feel comfort from everyone else too – to know that you are not alone.” Participants can either attend the event and raise monetary donations individually or as a team. Teams are encouraged to have at least one person walking laps on the track at all times for the entire 18 hours of the relay to symbolize how cancer never sleeps. Tents will be set up for resting, and other campsites will be used for inflatables, dunk tanks, photo booths, concerts, Zumba, fitness boot camp and more. Volunteers and cancer survivors will roam the field and speak with those who wish to learn more about what it is like to live with cancer. The event isn’t only open to members of the University of Hawai‘i community – anyone can join. “A lot of people think that since

it’s a college campus we only get college students, but we actually pull in a lot of people from the community. It’s a good way to bring people closer,” said UH Relay For Life recruiter and microbiology senior James Miller. Many of the participants have had or are directly affected by cancer. Emily Cummins, the UH Relay for Life mission and delivery chairwoman, had cancer when she was 2 years old, as did her grandmother and friends from elementary school. “It’s definitely a motivator,” Cummins said. “To fight for those people and just give people a reason to fight. I personally can’t remember my own experience, but I know that it’s draining. People need a reason to keep pushing forward.” Hokama and Miller said that the highlight of the relay is the luminaria ceremony at night. Luminaria are paper bags that contain

candles and are decorated in the memory of someone who has been affected by cancer. The ceremony includes the lighting of the bags, and a silent lap in respect of those who fought, have been ﬁghting and have fallen to cancer. The bags can be decorated at the event, or purchased beforehand at relayuh.com. All money raised for the event will go to the American Cancer Society, from whom researchers can then apply for funding. Last year, $88,000 was raised. This year, the Relay For Life committee hopes to raise $100,000. As of March 1, $17,058.55 was raised, 45 teams were created and 290 participants signed up. The fundraising will not stop at Relay For Life this year. Hokama said that a Bark For Life is being planned for this summer, which is a “Relay For Life, but with dogs.” Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

This food truck has been at the far end of Legacy Path, outside of Krauss Hall, for a few years now. Featuring mainly Hawaiian foods, the menu offers plate lunches of kālua pig, teri chicken, chicken long rice and more. A full plate ($8-10) comes with two scoops of white rice and mac or tossed salad. The combo plate comes with two entrées, plus rice and salad ($10-12). For those less hungry, there’s a mini plate option with one scoop of rice, as well as side orders of the entrées. I ordered the lau lau plate ($10) with a side of haupia ($1.50). It seemed like a lot of food, but much of that was the ti leaves that wrapped the meat. The pork was tender and ﬂavorful. It was over-salted, but it went well with the white rice. The salad was disappointing, consisting mainly of a few leaves of lettuce drowned in ranch dressing. If your goal is to eat healthy, I suggest picking a different food truck. The haupia comes in two small sauce containers. It was creamy and tasted like coconut, but didn’t hold its shape well and was runnier than I preferred. It also had a slightly sour aftertaste, so it may not have been fresh. Service was polite and efﬁcient at preparing my food; however, I did have to ask for the correct change back. The meal was very satisfying, although I thought it was pricey for the amount of food received. I would have paid the same amount at a sit-down Hawaiian restaurant, so it was disappointing to be paying almost $12 at a food truck. RATING

Justin Yoshimoto: Engineer, researcher, leader UHM student honored as 2015 Hawai‘i’s Student Engineer of the Year MEAKALIA PREVICH-LIU STAFF WRITER

Electrical engineering student Justin Yoshimoto, who maintains multiple leadership roles in engineering projects and a 3.95 GPA, has been named Hawai‘i’s 2015 Student Engineer of the Year. Yoshimoto, who is in his last semester at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, was honored with the title by the Hawaii Council of Engineering Societies. Wayne Shiroma, professor and chair of the Electrical Engineering Department, said the Student Engineer of the Year Award is a prestigious one because all of the seniors who graduated in fall 2014 and the ones who will graduate in spring 2015 are considered. UH Mānoa has three departments within the college of engineering alone. “So out of all that, there’s maybe about 250 in that pool, and he was selected as the recipient of that award,” Shiroma said. “We’re proud of his accomplishments, and we’re very thankful for the engineering community for recognizing the excellence that UH Mānoa provides to engineering students.” Yoshimoto said he was surprised when he found out he won the annual award because he didn’t think he could compete against the other undergraduate engineer majors in the state. “My parents really pushed me in high school to be like ‘make sure your grades are good,’ and I guess that carried over to college in my study habits,” Yoshimoto said. “It was pretty hard juggling everything at once.” Since high school, he has had an interest in classes such as math and physics, which led him

to major in engineering when he started his freshman year in 2011 at UH Mānoa. “I really liked those [classes], and then I kind of realized I liked ﬁxing things and making things better,” Yoshimoto said. Yoshimoto began his freshman year as a mechanical engineering major, but after taking a program-

been involved with over the years at UH, he helped to start a drone program in the spring semester of 2014 at UH Mānoa for his senior capstone project called “UH Drone Technologies.” Yoshimoto played a more technical role than a managing one in the project and focused primarily on the programming for the drone control systems.

The completion of [Yoshimoto’s] project and the signiﬁcance it will bring to the university will be an everlasting memento. JESSE FINES VICE PRESIDENT OF IEEE-HKN

ming course related to electrical engineering, he realized he found more similar areas of interest in the electrical engineering department. PROJECTS: MICE AND DRONES

The first engineering project Yoshimoto worked on with two other group members during his sophomore year was known as the Micromouse Project. The process involved understanding circuits, building a robot, programming it to navigate through a maze and then seeing if it could find its way to the center based on algorithms. “It was the most satisfying because we started it, and then we ended it in one semester, and all the other projects I worked on were on a larger scale,” he said. “So it’s kind of hard to finish it all within a certain time frame – it was nice to see the work I did and then the results. I thought it was great, because we actually got to the center when we finished.” In addition to the many engineering projects Yoshimoto has

Upon finishing his senior capstone project, Yoshimoto said he has taken on a mentorship role during this last semester to help new students continue his work so that the project doesn’t die when he and others graduate. “We’re making a quadcopter drone for search and rescue,” he said. “It’s still in the beginning phases, but we wanted to make it autonomous — where it flies by itself — that’s the part I was working on.” Jesse Fines, a fellow student, said with Yoshimoto as the co-founder of the UH Drone Technologies project, the contribution the project brings to the engineering department will be inherited by future generations and will bring UH’s name into the field of unmanned systems. “The completion of the project and the significance it will bring to the university will be an everlasting memento he can be proud of as he reminisces about his early beginnings as an engineer,” Fines said.

LEADING ENGINEER AND LEADER

Yoshimoto is also the president of the UH Mānoa chapter of the International Electrical Engineering Honor Society (IEEE-HKN). He said this leadership role in particular is a change in the type of roles he usually takes on, as this requires him to be the head of an organization. “I’m in charge of coordinating all of the events for IEEE-HKN,” he said. “A lot of the things we do is community service and trying to help out the College of Engineering as much as possible. We also do fundraisers to help us fund our events, we have conference travel, and we do science, technology, engineering and mathematics outreach to elementary and middle school students.” Shiroma said IEEE-HKN only selects the top one-fourth of juniors and the top one-third of seniors for membership. Fines, who is vice president of IEEE-HKN, has worked with Yoshimoto on many of the club’s activities such as organizing outreach events at Hokulani Elementary School Brush Bot Workshop. He said it’s easy to work with him, as his decisions are very prompt and thoughtful and he is an “extremely intellectual” student. “It isn’t very hard to work with him because he is responsible and he carries more than his fair share of work on projects and activities,” Fines said in an email interview. “As a leader, Justin is organized and has the ability to delegate fairly. His attention to detail ensures that the projects that he oversees are done with care and professionalism.” What do you think? Let us know @KaLeoFeatures

Within the news selection are articles by top sports analysts, with content updated hourly. Some articles include a video, which plays within five seconds on my iPhone 5s when running on Wi-Fi. This fast response time ensures that fans can retrieve info on their favorite team within seconds. The app also gives you the option to share a story or video via Facebook or Twitter. By far, the best part of “SportsCenter” is the ability to highlight favorite teams. For one, it makes your personal teams easily accessible. The user also has the ability to add alert notifications for individual teams. There are notifications for breaking news, game start, scoring plays and final scores. If notifications become a nuisance, they can be turned off. With an immense amount of content posted daily and the ability to stat track, “SportsCenter” is a must-have for any sports fanatic. RATING

Q: It seems like you dabble in a variety of art mediums: ceramics, painting, jewelry, etc. Which is your favorite and why? A: “I enjoy a variety of mediums when constructing a new piece of art. After exploring other mediums, sculpture has captured my interest. Sculpture allows me to use any material to create the concept I hope to explore. Choosing different mediums and materials is an opportunity to attack an issue, subject or perception in an unconventional way.”

Q: What art classes at UH Mānoa do you recommend for those who are interested in art? A: “My initial recommendation is Introduction to Drawing (ART 113). Drawing is the foundation of all art, so a basic understanding of it is critical. If you can draw it, you can create it. Following that, consider taking introductory classes to explore other mediums in order determine which materials you like to work with. Introduction to Glass (ART 130) is an amazing class, and the professor, Rick Mills, is phenomenal at explaining how to critique art with a critical eye. Intro to Ceramics (ART 242) is also advantageous, in that you get the basic foundation for how clay behaves and how to work with it. Choosing classes is about ﬁnding which mediums and materials you like to work with, and then investigating from there.”

Brad Dell Features Editor

Q: After you graduate with an art degree, what is your dream job? A: “After graduating, I hope to investigate several different options. Graduate school is always a consideration. My dream job is to work with Weta Workshop or the Stan Winston School of Character Arts. Both are highly innovative special effects and creature creation companies. Weta Workshop was a part of the ‘Hobbit’ movies, and Stan Winston was a part of ‘Jurassic Park,’ ‘Alien’ and ‘Avatar.’ I also hope to volunteer with the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society as an advocate for the ethical treatment of marine life.”

Ikaika Shiveley Associate Features Editor

Q: Name some “artsy” things you have in your room right now. A: “My room has transformed into a studio workshop. It is saturated with past projects including 100 bronze sunﬂower seeds inspired by the Chinese contemporary artist Ai Weiwei, countless painted canvasses from exploring abstract contemporary art and a myriad of ceramic vessels, each testing new approaches to the capability of clay. Not to mention, the 18-foot pair of aluminum wings constantly scratching my TV.”

SELECTED POSTS

Q: What is your most favorite art piece that you take pride in? A: “I take pride in the metal casting and forging work I’ve been producing lately. I cast my face in bronze with a resin octopus tentacle emerging from my open mouth. While some might perceive it as disturbing, I’ve always been inspired by the octopus and its unique and bizarre attributes. While I knew it would make some people uncomfortable, I wanted to experiment with the idea of the octopus being representative of a part [of ] me. The piece is a conceptual manifestation of the relationship between the octopus and myself.”

COVER STORY

A NEW KIND OF RAP: THE REVOLUTION AND JAHN LION BRING SPIRITUALITY TO THE STAGE

Hana Ah You Senior Staff Writer

What does it take to get two upand-coming student rappers on stage at Aloha Bash? For Jonathan Neyland and Treyvon Love, that is the question guiding their actions for the next two months. The artists, known on stage as Jahn Lion and The Revolution, have come together in the hopes of changing the world with their music. Love and Neyland want to improve the local music scene, making it more friendly for artists who have trouble making it. “It’s hard enough just getting the look being a hiphop artist, a rapper, in Hawai‘i, let alone making Hawaiian music that everyone else is trying to make,” Love said. Love has played shows around town, ranging from Mānoa’s Got Talent to an album release party at Hawaiian Brian’s. The two played their first show together in Hilo earlier this month and will be going on their “Inter-island Music Tour 2015” in June. “As a kid, I was always a poet,” Love said. “I was fascinated with how words could connect. That’s where the roots started for me.” Neyland started as a backup rapper in Japan before moving to Hawai‘i and continuing alongside Love. He is now working with Love and producing his own music. “I’ve been doing this since freshman year, just trying to push it … just trying to grow,” Love said. Joining forces with Neyland was a natural next step, he said. Love described it as an attraction of energy. “Jon was always around and it came to really make sense, him doing music. He was always on stage with me,” Love said. What set the partnership in motion was Neyland breaking his hand.

“When he broke his hands, that switched his mindset to the music and that’s when he got serious about it,” Love said. Love’s music is heavily oriented towards rap with some melodies. Neyland introduced a reggae hiphop vibe, adding another dynamic to the artist’s stage presence. “He has the ability to do rap and then go into the chorus and I can just follow, or we finish each other’s sentences in the song. It’s that

that’s what our music is about.” In Neyland’s new mixtape, “The Awakening,” the two can be heard rapping about exams and going to the beach. “It’s really just about telling the people who you are as a person. … Who we are is who the music is,” Neyland said. “Everyone can have different religions. We’re all just trying to connect back to that sense of a greater being, greater power,” Love said. “Our spirituality, in a sense, really

quick,” Neyland said. “It’s like two brothers on stage rapping.” The two produce beats on the computer and while both dabble in playing piano, they are lyricists first and foremost. Before going on stage, the two like to meditate. “We like to freestyle on stage, but we like to have a message within that as well. Meditation always clears the mind,” Love said. “The revolution is the movement of us young musicians, young conscious minds, trying to come together and make it a better place.” This coming together is reflected in their performances. “It’s like three different sets,” Neyland said. “We’ll have times when it’s just my music, versus times when it’s just his music and transition to both of us at the same time.” Spirituality guides Love and Neyland’s music as much as it does their daily lives. “Music is a message. It really should be about your life – what you’re doing,” Neyland said. “Through meditation, through being a college student, through being in Hawai‘i. Through all of these experiences,

comes through the music. That’s what we try to put into the sound, into the words.” Love and Neyland want people to feel the music through their entire body. “I want our music to put you in a meditative state … a state of complete peace, complete happiness, complete joy,” Love said. “We want people to feel euphoric, awakened, conscious, happy, and that this is the best song, this is the future,” Neyland added. Most important to these young artists is the message. “I want them to understand the message: understand that we are trying to make a change in the world, trying to make a difference for the better, trying to open the minds of the people,” Love said. So why Aloha Bash? “This is something that I set my goals on, right from the very beginning,” Love said. “I kind of had it sent in my mind as a marker of my growth and success and then this year Jon came to me and was like, ‘We need to do Aloha Bash.’” Love and Neyland already have a

song in honor of the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa, and representing the school and the students at an event held on campus would be the perfect kick-off for their career. “We are the voice of the school,” Neyland said. “All the kids, that’s our main fan base,” Love added. After school, the two intend to launch We Always Return Records. “That’s what’s really driving us right now,” Neyland said. The plan is to move to Kapolei and build the label together, ultimately becoming the go-to guys for music on the island. Currently, Love and Neyland are working closely with Decibel Studios, the label that sent them to Hilo recently and is sending them on tour this summer. How do they do it all? “No sleep,” Neyland said. “It’s very difficult but it takes dedication.” “We’re balancing trying to be wise young men and evolve in that sense, but still being 21 and wanting to go out and party,” Love said. “I think that spirituality helps us stay focused.” “Overall, what I want people to feel when they hear our music is simply love,” Love said. “Not everyone believes they’re spiritual, but one thing that they can’t not agree with is love.”

The athletic department budgeted for $500,000 in postseason revenue last year but only received $154,049, partly due to UH football’s 4-9 season.

Beyond wins and losses Underfunding at the heart of continued UH athletic deficit, according to Jay NICK HUTH SPORTS EDITOR

The expected $3.5 million deficit next year for the UH athletics department is set to continue the trend of underfunding that’s led to a deficit in 11 of the last 13 years, according to a report released by the school earlier this month. “It underlines the fundamental problem,” athletics director Ben Jay said. “Structurally, we have not been funded to the level that everybody else is that we compare ourselves to.” The schools that UH compares itself to are those in both the Mountain West and Big West conferences. At the request of UH Mānoa Chancellor Robert Bley-Vroman, Jay compared the finances of the department with those other programs and assessed the university’s bottom line for last year and the future. Part of the report recognized that costs are expected to rise even further with new opportunities to spend on student-athletes through new legislation that goes into effect on Aug. 1. The increased spending allowance will enable schools to finance student-athletes with stipends fulfilling the complete cost of attendance, including books, fees and room and board. Although decided by larger conferences than the two UH belongs to, increased benefits for student-athletes at larger institutions such as those in the Pac-12, SEC and Big Ten will be felt through-

out Division I athletics. “Not all schools need to adopt, but the reality is this: It’s going to be used against you in recruiting. Coaches are already leery of that,” Jay said. “It’s already tough enough to recruit in Hawai‘i.” With the added cost of competing for recruits through the new student-athlete welfare initiative, Bley-Vroman and other leadership requested research on cutting athletic department programs. Multiple options were presented in the report, including the removal of the men’s volleyball, swimming, diving and coed sailing program. Various combinations of those cuts may lead to a potential savings of up to $1.4 million, which is not enough to balance the budget by itself. The student-athletes on those teams are also not receiving full scholarships, meaning that the removal of the programs will cost the school elsewhere. “The student-athletes that participate in those sports are in equivalency sports, so you’re taking away from the school in other ways. These are tuition-paying, room-and-boardpaying students,” Jay said. Jay claims that the ﬁscal struggles of the university does not come down to failure on the ﬁeld or a lack of facilities, but rather a lack of adaptation to the modern world of college athletics. “We have just not caught up with the times and the level of expense growth, and it’s not unlike the rest of the university,” Jay said.

“Expenses never go down. They grow each year. The cost of doing business grows each year. ... Every year there’s been a tuition increase it affects our bottom line.” ON THE FIELD

When the undefeated UH football team played in the Sugar Bowl against Georgia in 2008, the athletic department ended the year in a rare surplus. Although the War-

1.2

million

riors fell to the Bulldogs, it marked one of just two times the department ended the year without a deficit in the past decade. However, through a $4.4 million payout for the high stakes national matchup against Georgia, the success on the field only managed to mask the athletic department’s financial struggles. “Yes, the Sugar Bowl brought in money, but if we had not been in the 2008 Sugar Bowl, this department would have lost money,” Jay said. The surplus that year was $295,243, according to the university, meaning that without the selection to a Bowl Championship Series game, the department would have been nearly $4 million in deficit. The following year, it lost over $2.6 million to return to the trend

of deﬁcits that stems from underfunding, according to Jay. NO MAGIC BULLET

Football has statistically been the university’s biggest revenue sport, and two of the Warriors’ most successful seasons in the last decade coincided with proﬁtable years for the athletic department. However, Jay said otherwise when asked whether consistent football

success and a full Aloha Stadium would solve the department’s “critical” ﬁnancial state. “If we had 10,000 more paying fans a game, basically over that seven-game home schedule, you’re probably coming close to $1.4 to $1.5 million,” Jay said. “It just shows you that even 10,000 more fans doesn’t solve the budget deﬁcit.” Although a recent donation of $1.2 million to the athletic department will help limit the $3.5 million in expected losses in 2015, the school claims that fundraising is not the answer yet. According to Jay, the aim of fundraising should be to plan for program expansion and future endowments instead of day-to-day operational spending. The department has listed eight facility improvement projects that will cost over $40 million combined

if fundraising improves. The $1.68 million UH brought in from student fees last year ranked last among Mountain West and Big West schools. Although the enrollment numbers vary among schools such as San Diego State, Nevada and Boise State, raising the student fee $25, as mentioned in the report would only accumulate about $850,000. Bley-Vroman claimed that raising the student fee is an inconvenient option. “I would prefer to not have it raised. Any increase of fee would need a lot of support,” Bley-Vroman said. With only 23 of the over 300 programs in Division I athletics avoiding a similar deﬁcit like UH athletics, Jay claimed that many mid-major programs are facing the same need for more support from multiple revenue streams. “They’re not unique at all. There are many programs that are in the same or a very similar boat.” Jay will resign from his position this June, citing family reasons for his departure, and the university is hoping to have a list of ﬁnalists in March. He said that the report is an example of his continuing work to help the university progress. “I try to make sure that we get the resources for the student-athletes so they can succeed and they can compete, and I always thought that’s been my job. I’m hopeful whoever sits in this seat next feels the same way.” Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

DELAYED GRATIFICATION

In Hawai‘ i’s last three games, freshman guard Sarah Toeaina averaged 5.3 points and 3.3 rebounds off the bench.

Keeping things fresh A pair of true freshmen have emerged as key contributors for the Rainbow Wahine basketball team

In the Stan Sheriff Center, the horn sounds, and a pair of players check into the game for the Rainbow Wahine basketball team. Their names: Dalayna Sampton and Sarah Toeaina, both true freshmen. Neither is a starter. Neither possesses statistics that will stand out from the rest of the team. But people in the know, especially the coaching staff, understand the value that the two bring to the game. “Coming into the year, we knew we were going to have a veteran squad,” associate head coach Mary Wooley said. “We knew what they would bring. The freshmen were the wild cards. Their growth from when they got here until now has been tremendous. Their contributions have been a huge part of the success we’ve had this season.” STAYING READY

Early in the season, Sampton seemed to have carved out her niche on the team. The 6-foot-1 forward from Vallejo, California, had earned a key role as a reserve post player, contributing off the bench as a capable rebounder and defender. Her playing time consistently averaged around 15 minutes per game, and during that time,

she averaged around five rebounds per game. But after freshman center Megan Huff came over from the volleyball team, Sampton saw her minutes drop significantly as Huff earned her way into the lineup. Still, Sampton worked hard to stay ready to contribute if needed. “I feel like Coach Beeman has always had a plan for me; I just had to buy in,” Sampton said. “There was a point where she wanted something that I couldn’t completely offer. But I’m young, so I just took it and learned from it. I trust her plans, and I’m down for whatever she has in store for me.” Finally, after seeing her minutes diminish to the point where she sat out a handful of games, Sampton’s hard work was rewarded. Against UC Davis, the Rainbow Wahine fell behind 14-2 and the coaching staff summoned Sampton off the bench. In 13 minutes of action, Sampton chipped in five points and seven rebounds in a Hawai‘ i win, but her impact extended far beyond her numbers. “I told her directly that she was the main reason we turned it around in the UC Davis game,” said assistant coach Alex Delanian, who works with the team’s post players. “We were in a hole, and in her first possession on the court, she

grabbed an offensive rebound and also drew a foul. She came in and changed the tone of the game, and changed it in our favor.” When Sampton checked out of the game four minutes after subbing in, the ‘Bows closed to 16-11. Hawai‘i would go on to win 62-60. Looking ahead to the remaining games on the schedule and the upcoming Big West tournament,

Like Sampton, Toeaina saw her playing time diminish for a stretch of the season. However, her drop in action didn’t stem from another player’s emergence, but from a nagging leg injury. The injury would sideline Toeaina for over a month, and robbed the Rainbow Wahine of valuable depth behind all-conference wings Ashleigh Karaitiana and Shawna-Lei Kuehu. “She was miserable,” Wooley said. “She’s such a competitor, and to be on the bench and not be able to contribute to her team was really hard for her.” Still, the freshman never complained about her misfortune, choosing instead to attack her rehab program to recover quicker and using the time on the bench to learn as much as she could. “I would call it a blessing in disguise,” Toeaina said. “It opened my eyes a lot to everything in the court, and all the little pieces to better myself. It definitely made me hungrier; more hungry to thrive.” Prior to the injury, Toeaina had averaged a modest 4.6 points and 2.5 rebounds per game, but had established herself as a solid contributor and defender off the bench. When she finally returned after missing nine consecutive games, she didn’t play much as the coaching staff tried to slowly work her back into the rotation. In her third game back against UC Irvine, Toeaina finally returned to form. In 21 minutes of play, she collected eight points and five rebounds in a 75-37 blowout win. The Covington, Washington, native describes herself as a “tweener,” a player who can play both guard and forward, and credits the success she’s had this season to the outstanding wing tandem ahead of her on the depth chart. “I always try to put myself right in front of them, or right behind them

gotten the ﬁlm to watch.” “She came in as a competitive young lady, and from day one she wanted to compete and push those girls ahead of her,” Wooley said. “She probably takes more notes than anyone in ﬁlm study and scouting reports.” STAYING GROUNDED

With the Rainbow Wahine in the midst of an 11-game winning streak, it would seem easy for the team to fall into the trap of overconﬁdence, especially the freshmen. Instead, the team has embraced a grounded mentality, focusing solely on the next game ahead of them. “Coming into the season, we had the mindset that we were going to be able to win it all,” Sampton said. “Coach promised us that nothing was going to change, and that attitude and practices would stay the same, and they have. Nothing has changed with pressure, nothing has changed despite what the media may be saying. We expected this when the season started, and we’re happy that we’re living what we expected.”

the coaching staff is conﬁdent that Sampton will continue to be ready to contribute. “One thing that I’ve heard from every post player on our team is that Dalayna is the least fun player to go against,” Delanian said. “When she steps out there into a drill or a game, you will feel her presence immediately. She’s physical, active and energetic, and when she goes into games you can see that she’s just a great big ball of energy.” And there’s a good reason for that. “I’m not scared of anybody,” Sampton said. “Going against bigger post players doesn’t frighten me, because I’m going to go out there

I can’t give them enough credit, because of how hard they go in practice, and for giving me little tips and nuggets that have helped make me better.” But the coaching staff claims that Toeaina also deserves a lot of credit for her own growth. “She wants to learn,” Delanian said. “I remember that before the ﬁrst game, she brought in a scouting report of notes she had taken from ﬁlm of our opponent, and we all were wondering how she had

Aaron Valdes 5 points 5 rebounds 1 assist 20 minutes played

Valdes continued his recent shooting slump as he once again failed to break double digit scoring. He struggled to ﬁnd a rhythm and forced a few shots. Defensively, he fared better as he pulled down ﬁve boards in 20 minutes and ran the press well.

Negus Webster-Chan

20 points 4 rebounds 3 assists 35 minutes played

Webster-Chan hit six threes en route to seting a career high with his ﬁrst free 20-point game. He complimented his sharpshooting with a solid defensive game both in the post and on the perimeter. Only a handful of unforced turnovers hung over his day.

Negus Webster-Chan attempted the most shots on Thursday against Long Beach St. but also shot 50 percent from the field.

Stefan Jankovic 12 points 6 rebounds 5 blocks 26 minutes played

Jankovic didn’t take many shots, but he still put up 12 points, including a deep fadeaway jumper on an isolation play to beat the shot clock late in the game. Jankovic gave an impressive defensive effort with six rebounds and ﬁve blocked shots.

King of the 3-pointers Negus Webster-Chan holds momentum with career high of 20 points in game against Long Beach State DREW AFUALO CONTRIBUTING WRITER

In Nigerian, the name Negus loosely translates to “King,” and after leading Hawai‘i in scoring with a career-high of 20 points in Thursday’s game against Long Beach State (LBSU), Negus Webster-Chan, seems to wear that title proudly. Following two consecutive road losses, the team struggled to keep pace in the middle of the Big West Conference standings. Having tallied a total of 22 points collectively against UC Irvine and UC Davis, Webster-Chan was told to return to what he’s done best statistically. “They told me I had the highest shooting percentage on the team and that they wanted me to take more 3’s,” Webster-Chan said. “They also told me to be more selfish, so that’s what I’m doing for them.” Selfishness seemed to fit Webster-Chan well, considering six of the shots he made against LBSU were successful 3-pointers. Coming into his own with a confidence that was evident in his play, which he confirmed after the game. Webster-Chan was asked to make up for the continued absence of sixth man Isaac Fleming and the struggles of leading scorer Aaron Valdes, and according to his teammates, succeeded.

“I told him before the game, ‘Negus we need four 3’s from you tonight’ and you know him,” senior guard Garret Nevels said. “So he came out ﬁring and he was hitting it, so it was a big boost for us.” The Canadian native has been ﬁring on all cylinders lately. Tied

practice, and how I’ve expected him to play this season,” Nevels said. “So what a better time than now for him to start heating up. I’m all for it.” With the support of his teammates and head coach Benji Taylor, Webster-Chan seems to have found his footing and made his mark. After

with fellow guard Roderick Bobbitt, Webster-Chan holds the other highest successful 3-point percentage on the team. He also averages about 25 minutes per game as a starter, after sitting out all of last season due to NCAA transfer rules. Primarily a stronger defensive player, Webster-Chan held some of the highest amount of rebounds in several games against teams like High Point, Wichita State, Prairie View A&M and Cal Poly. Getting a chance to see his potential on the offensive end proved to be pivotal to the Warriors’ success over the 49ers. “He’s really playing how I’ve seen him play these past two years in

recovering from a reoccurring ankle injury and sickness, the starting guard is beginning to show Hawai‘i what he’s capable of. “I thought he would be playing like this right at the beginning of conference, but better late than never,” Taylor said. “I need him to be a little bit more cerebral out there … but overall I’m happy with how he’s progressing. He and [Stefan] Jankovic have been doing well and playing really good basketball.” With the help of Jankovic and Bobbitt, Webster-Chan has gotten the chance to step out more to showcase his 3-point shooting and rack up points for the ‘Bows; especially

with the absence of key players like Fleming, Mike Thomas and Valdes. As a graduate of Huntington Prep in West Virginia, the sophomore averaged 10.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 5.9 assists and shot nearly 80 percent from the foul line as a senior. He even finished his senior year season with a team that was ranked sixth in the nation by USA Today after going 29-2; a team that included current teammate Stefan Jankovic. However, it was Hawai‘ i and the Warriors that helped him to find that fire again. A transfer from the University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri, Webster-Chan only managed to average a total of 2.5 points and 2 rebounds per game while he played there. Making the switch to UH, along with the love and support from the crowd, seems to have helped his game and confidence when playing, “I always feed off the crowd, I think we all do,” Webster-Chan said. “It became a close game because we let up and once we got back into it and started working our way back up to a big lead, the crowd just started going crazy. That always just gives me more energy when I’m tired.” Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

SOFTBALL The Wahine began its weekend slate of games on Thursday against California, losing 12-4. The team’s disappointing result was short lived, however, as the ‘Bows were able to bounce back Friday by blowing out San Jose State 14-1, signaling the mercy rule. UH’s dominance at the plate continued into Saturday against Longwood as they defeated the visitors 8-3. The win gave UH back-to-back victories while tallying 22 runs in its last two games compared to its opponents’ four runs scored during that stretch.

The ‘Bows were at it again last week Thursday on the road as they defeated Long Beach State by a score of 47-46. The victory on Thursday marked the ﬁrst time since the 1997-1998 season that the Rainbow Wahine clinched the Big West Conference title with a 12-2 record in conference play. The clinch came in the form of the team’s 12th-straight victory; also the longest since 1997.

The Rainbow Wahine had a sucessful outing at the Mountain Paciﬁc Sports Federation Indoor Track and Field Championships at Demsey Indoor in Seattle, Washington. Rachel Toliver ran the 200-meter in 24.98 seconds, setting a new personal and school record in the process. Rainbow Wahine thrower Alex Porlier Langlois also bested a school record in the shot put event, capturing the bronze medal with a 16.03m throw.

The Warrior baseball team faced off against Pepperdine last week, winning the ﬁrst game of its series by a score of 15-8. Pepperdine would come back the following day on Friday to give the ‘Bows their worst defeat since 2009 by a score of 16-1. The ‘Bows had an opportunity on Saturday to take the series advantage, but were unsuccessful as Pepperdine edged out UH 2-0.

Nationally ranked No. 37 Stanford swept the Rainbow Warrior tennis team this past Tuesday, 7-0. The Cardinals took an early lead against the ‘Bows and never looked back, jumping out to an early lead in doubles play as they took down UH’s Marcel Chan and Kai Wehnelt and duo Felix Albert and Chas Okamot, 6-3 and 6-1, respectively. The Rainbow Wahine faired better than the men as they defeated Grand Canyon 5-2, but were dominated a few days later when San Diego State upended the Wahine 5-2.

CRAVINGTHE WAVE Surfers willing to brave the waves at Waimea Bay paddle out into rough territory. The beach is known for big waves and as the venue for Quicksilver’s “Eddie” surﬁng tournament. For many surfers, riding is more than a sport. It’s spiritual. Bumper stickers that read “Eddie Would Go,” the shaka and the “lingo” of wave riding are culture. But the moment of communion with the wave – that’s something every surfer lives for, and it’s transcendence.
