Jeff Hall named Rainbow Wahine volleyball assistant coach

High school prospect to play for UH football

The University of Hawai‘ i women’s volleyball coach Dave Shoji announced a new associate coach for the Rainbow Wahine volleyball team on Monday. “Jeff Hall has all the qualifications we were looking for in an associate coach as well as head sand coach,” Shoji said. “I’ve had the opportunity to see him first hand work with the men’s team and I think he’ll bring the same energy and mindset to the Rainbow Wahine. He’s done everything we expect from our associate coach from recruiting to film analysis to game planning, and is very proficient in the practice gym. He will be a great asset to both programs and we look forward to a smooth transition.” Jeff Hall has been the men’s volleyball associate coach since 2011. He fills a vacant position left by Scott Wong. Hall will also be head coach for the sand volleyball team. Hall came to UH from the University of the Pacific, where he spent three seasons (2007-09) as assistant coach for the men’s program. Hall also served as assistant coach for UC San Diego men’s and women’s teams from 2004 to 2007 and was the men’s assistant at Grossmont College in San Diego from 2000 to 2004. At Pacific, Hall was the Tigers’ Offensive Player of the Year in 1993 and 1994. He also was an all-conference player at Orange Coast Junior College and Park College in Los Angeles.

One of the state’s top high school prospects will play for the University of Hawai‘i football team, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported Sunday. Campbell High’s all-safety Solomon Matautia has accepted a scholarship from UH and will sign a letter of intent with the Warriors on Feb. 4. “Hawai‘i has always been my team ever since I was a little kid,” Matautia said in the report. “When I was a kid, I remember everyone asking me: ‘Who’s your favorite team?’ I always said ‘Hawai‘i.’” Matautia was named to the Honolulu Star-Advertiser’s All-State ﬁrst team the past two seasons and received a 3-star rating from Scout.com, according to the report.

Hawai‘ i to receive federal grant to protect water supply, native forests Hawai‘i’s native forests and drinking water supply will be protected with a federal grant, the Associated Press reported Wednesday. According to the state Department of Land and Natural Resources, the grant “will supplement funds already appropriated by the state legislature,” in the report. The state allocated millions of dollars in 2013 to remove invasive species and plant more native trees. In addition, the funds pay for fences to keep animals from grazing. The state plans to announce the grant details at a news conference on Wednesday. The state said “restoring forests is the most cost-efﬁcient way to absorb rainwater and replenish groundwater,” according to the report.

Football announces three signings for spring Head football coach Norm Chow has announced the signing of three mid-year signings who will be eligible to compete in the fall, according to a Hawai‘i Athletics press release. Wide receiver Dylan Collie (El Dorado Hills, California), defensive lineman Sione Kauhi (Wilsonville, Oregon), and linebacker Russell Williams (Elk Grove, California) will join the Rainbow Warriors in the spring semester. Collie and Kauhi both will be returning from two-year church missions. Collie redshirted at BYU in 2012 before leaving on his mission. He earned ﬁrst-team all-league and all-Metro honors at Oak Ridge High School in California, and was recruited by several Pac-12 schools, signing with BYU. Collie has strong football bloodlines through his brothers Zac and Austin, as well as his father Scott. Kauhi was a tight end and defensive end at Wilsonville High School in Oregon. Kauhi, who also was a standout basketball player, was a second team all-league tight end and honorable mention all-state defensive end as a senior. Williams comes to UH from Sacramento City College, where he ﬁnished second on the team with 77 total tackles (63 solo), including 11.0 for loss, and averaged 7.0 tackles per game. He also tallied six sacks, two forced fumbles and two pass breakups. In high school, Williams was a multi-dimensional player, manning several positions including quarterback.

Sand volleyball program signs two players The University of Hawai‘i sand volleyball program has signed two players for spring and fall 2015, according to a Hawaii Athletics report. Heather Boyan, the 2014 Conference-USA Tournament’s Most Valuable Player, will join the team this spring, while Ari Homayun, a member of Elite Volleyball Club in California, will be part of the team in fall 2015. “[Boyan] had a lot of success as a middle blocker at Western Kentucky and is transitioning onto the sand nicely,” assistant coach Michelle Meyer said in the report. “She is a gifted athlete and we’re looking forward to seeing how she develops in the sand.” A native of Munster, Indiana, Boyan ﬁnished

Mariota declares for NFL Draft Oregon junior quarterback and 2014 Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota has filed paperwork making himself eligible for the 2015 NFL draft, according to a report from Oregon Athletics. “After meeting with my family I have decided to forego my final year of eligibility and apply for the 2015 NFL Draft,” Mariota said. “I cannot thank Coach Kelly, Coach Helfrich, Coach Frost, the rest of the Oregon coaches and the support staff enough for molding me as a person, player and student-athlete.” Mariota was a three-year starter for the Ducks, compiling a 36-5 record as the starting quarterback. This season, he was the consensus national player of the year in college football, and led the Ducks to the 2015 College Football Playoff National Championship game. He became the second quarterback in school history to lead Oregon to three postseason wins, and was the first three-time first-team all-Pac-12 quarterback in conference history. “It’s been an honor to watch Marcus develop over the last four years, and I’m excited to see what his future holds,” Oregon coach Mark Helfrich said. “He’s given this program everything we could have asked, and he’ll be the standard by which others are judged. Mahalo.” Mariota is widely considered to be one of the top prospects in this year’s draft. In his final year at Oregon, he became the first player in Pac-12 history to account for 5,000 yards of total offense in a single season (5,224), and became the first player in FBS history to finish a season with a plus-50 ratio of touchdowns (58) to turnovers (seven). “The support I received from the University, the city of Eugene and Duck fans has been tremendous,” Mariota said. “I will always remember the great times and support I received. Once a Duck, always a Duck.”

COVER STORY

Revised speech policy in early stages at UH Mānoa

FILE PHOTO / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

UH’s reevaluation of its policies on speech and expression comes after events such as an October 2013 protest over the censoring of a mural (above) on campus and a lawsuit at UH Hilo last year. MEAKALIA PREVICH-LIU STAFF WRITER

UH Mānoa is in the early stages of ensuring its free expression policy matches rules at the UH system level. According to Dan Meisenzahl, the media spokesperson for all UH campuses, there are no speciﬁcs developed yet, such as a timeline for when UH Mānoa will implement campus-speciﬁc guidelines based on UH’s Free Expression on University Campuses. Meisenzahl said the policy, which took effect on Dec. 1, 2014, is complicated to administer. “It involves so many different facets of the campus and the larger community, and so they’re really in the process of making sure that all the right people are at the table to develop this policy,” Meisenzahl said in a phone interview. FREE SPEECH ON UH CAMPUSES

Executive Policy 10.206, titled “Free Expression on University Campuses,” is supposed to set policies regarding speech and other expressive activity on University of Hawai‘ i campuses. Speciﬁc details in the policy identify locations for free speech, such as assembly areas: open areas, sidewalks, walkways or internal streets or other similar common areas. The UH Mānoa Administration, Finance and Operations unit is overseeing the initial steps in the process, Meisenzahl said. At some point, though, he said the effort could end up at Student Affairs. “At this early stage, they’re the

ones who are handling the initial planning process,” he said. “Now, who ends up writing the policy, who has that responsibility, where that lies, I can’t tell you 100 percent. The system policy is already written, though, so it’s just a matter of tweaking whatever Mānoa needs to tweak.” UH Mānoa is considering various ways to address the newly revised policy. For example, the campus may designate one or more forum areas at Campus Center Courtyard or make available one or several community bulletin boards in locations for posting noncommercial student materials. “And there are already some of those [bulletin boards] that are currently available,” he said. “Some

not already in place, appropriate constituents at the different campuses will have to implement them. Meisenzahl said some of the groups that would be involved would be student affairs, facilities and campus security. “At some point, too, it’s going to be graduate students and undergrads, whatever the different groups may be as we move forward are going to have a say in the process and starting out the policy,” he said. “Right now, the policy is pretty clear about what needs to be done, so, obviously, the ﬁrst steps are to make sure that UH Mānoa and all the 10 campuses have to follow the policy that is in place and [that it’s] being followed.” One of the additions to the

We’re going to try to do things better, whether its educate students or whatever it might be, and this is obviously an example of that. – DAN MEISENZAHL MEDIA SPOKESPERSON FOR ALL UH CAMPUSES

of the things that UH Mānoa is looking at is noncommercial student speech assembly and distribution of noncommercial literature in areas that are available to students in the community without having to apply for permission — those are all of the things that they [UH] support and that are already in place — and establishing a voluntary dispute resolution process.” The systemwide executive policy’s speciﬁc guidelines are to be followed by each campus, and, if

revised policy states that the chancellor will, among other guidelines, establish a voluntary dispute resolution process where campus community members who believe their free speech rights are threatened may immediately communicate their concerns to designated campus administrators. This dispute resolution plan has yet to be thoroughly outlined at UH Mānoa, but Meisenzahl said a place where opposing parties can go to to resolve their differences without it

escalating can only help. “This isn’t, by any means, being viewed as a burden,” he said. “This is a part of university life and not just this policy, but everything that we do at the university systemwide. We’re going to be constantly adjusting policies – we’re going to try to do things better, whether it’s educate students or whatever it might be, and this is obviously an example of that.” NEEDS FOR A FREE SPEECH CAMPUS POLICY

Bonnyjean Manini, Interim Director of Student Life & Development, oversees the operations and student leadership development opportunities at the Campus Center complex. Manini said she supports the executive policy as written, but if a free speech campus policy is created, it would be beneﬁcial if it addressed chalking, as chalking is not addressed in the current policy. “Since the Fix UHM chalking, we have been able to coordinate chalking at the Campus Center complex. This has been done effectively without damage to our facilities, when the groups worked with our staff,” Manini said in an email interview. “I hope a campus policy will make it clear whether chalking will or will not be allowed on campus.” Manini added that she is not at this time in support of chalking on the walls at Campus Center due to possible damage of the paint, and is concerned about incidents where students have used charcoal and Cray-Pas in the buildings. “These substances are more difﬁcult to remove than chalk and leave

shadowing on the surfaces,” she said. “Moreover, in one incident, a student expected our department to provide the chalk.” If chalking is allowed on campus, Manini said she would like to see it allowed on stairs and ﬂat surfaces, but not walls, with the expectation that the student or group work with the appropriate staff to determine the length of time the message would be up until it is washed off. The chalk used by the student or group engaging in free speech, she said, must also be nontoxic and purchased by the participants. “I would want said policy to explicitly state that other substances besides nontoxic chalk cannot be used,” she said. “Finally, any damage caused, whether intentionally or unintentionally, would need to be taken care of at the expense of the student or group.” Stephen Nishihara, president of the Associated Students of the University of Hawai‘ i (ASUH), said the revised executive policy of UH’s commitment to free speech allows for some details to be set in stone. However, Nishihara said the policy will not be deﬁnite because it depends on each campus’s chancellor. “Whether this will help all students in the system is dependent on what is set forth by each chancellor,” Nishihara said in an email interview. “If there are any changes, at least there is an obligation within each chancellor to let students know.” What do you think?

Innovative skateboard rack makes Campus Center debut COURTNEY TEAGUE ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

UH Mānoa students are now able to store and secure skateboards in Campus Center Courtyard, thanks to the addition of a specialized rack this semester. “[The goal was] to provide a safe and secure location for those that skate to the Campus Center complex to leave their boards,” said Associate Director of Student Life Business Services Shawn Kyono in an email interview. The skateboard rack, located near the existing bike rakes past the end of Legacy Path, can hold up to 14 boards at a time. To use, the board is placed between two U-shaped bars attached to a post equipped with slidable rings around each bar, allowing the user to insert a lock. “I would usually hide my skateboard somewhere around, so [the skateboard rack] would actually be pretty helpful,” UH Mānoa student Ana Delostrico said. Kyono added that the unit was also installed in hopes of keeping “safer facilities” by potentially avoiding hazards caused by unsecured skateboards in walkways or under tables. “[The skateboard rack] was based on a need. It was just something that we saw that students could use and really beneﬁt from,” said Student Life and Development (SLD) assistant project manager Heidi Neidhart. According to Neidhart, the zinc-

plated rack is known as the “Spartan 14” and manufactured by the California-based Boardloch Brand Products. Kyono conﬁrmed the cost of shipping and delivering the rack was approximately $1,400. Installation of the rack was completed just prior to the beginning of the spring semester and was funded by a Campus Center account, said Neidhart. She claimed the process was a

Though Delostrico tends to keep her board on her person when on campus, she plans to use the storage unit while visiting the gym. “We wanted to provide students with an option to safely secure their skateboards, especially when we started with the [Warrior Recreation Center]. ... They don’t allow skateboards in the Rec Center, so it’s giving them an option to safely secure it and keep it nearby,” Neidhart said.

relatively quick one since Campus Center paid for the rack and mounted it on their own grounds. Signs posted around Campus Center encourage students to purchase locks at the bookstore and warn users that “unattended” skateboards will be conﬁscated. According to the signs, facilities can be contacted for retrieval of skateboards left in the rack. A SOLUTION FOR WRC ATTENDEES

The Warrior Recreation Center’s (WRC) entry requirements listed on their site state that skateboards are banned from the facility. Neidhart notes that, for students visiting the WRC who prefer to skateboard, the new rack will allow them to store their board before they enter the building.

UHM explores moving courses to Outreach College

POSSIBILITY OF ADDITIONAL RACKS

The location was speciﬁcally chosen so that more racks can be added next to the original, if they appear to become popular among students, according to Neidhart. “If we see good use of the current rack, we will deﬁnitely consider adding more around the Campus Center complex,” Kyono said. Neidhart added that other racks built around the courtyard would likely be placed to accommodate students entering from other directions. Kyono was unaware of any plans the university may have to add skateboard racks outside of Campus Center. What do you think? Let us know @KaLeoOHawaii

the opportunity to take outreach courses year-round instead of in-person classes to better accommodate their academic and extracurricular schedules. According to College of Social Sciences (CSS) Dean Denise Konan, the UH College of Arts and Social Sciences Academic Services, speciﬁcally CSS, has

worked very hard to offer a curriculum that would support students in their degree attainment [and] also attempted to offer attractive electives. Due to staff shortages in some ﬁelds — like journalism — we have not been able to offer as many sections as we have in previous years due to budget con-

straints,” Konan said. After taking two online classes last summer through the UH Outreach College, UH Mānoa student Rashawn Wong was disappointed with his experience. “Based on my experience, I wouldn’t want to take [an online course] again, but with the way things are going right now I probably will,” Wong said. Wong said he still would choose an in-person course over a course taken online. “Online courses take too long or become way too easy to grasp or understand, and they’re more expensive,” Wong said. According to the Ofﬁce of the Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs (OVCAA), registration for online courses will likely be handled directly through the outreach college. “The OVCAA tends to not be involved in the actual course scheduling,” said Reed Dassenbrock, Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs. Outreach College has declined comment on the issue.

Cracking down on counterfeit permits Stealing parking spaces proves difficult for some who use counterfeit, altered permits MATHEW URSUA STAFF WRITER

 [PHOTO ILLUSTRATION] CALEB HARTSFIELD KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Disclaimer: do not use as a pass.

Several drivers have tried to avoid UH Mānoa’s parking fees by counterfeiting or altering permits, according to the Department of Public Safety (DPS). DPS incident reports show that from late October through the end of last year, at least 11 cases of altered parking permits were reported to the DPS. In many cases, people observed to have used forged or altered permits had their cars towed. According to incident reports, some violators used overlapped

stickers or labels on placard numbers and barcodes to make them look valid. Others used pens to alter dates and other information on the placards. In one case, a parking guard identiﬁed an altered permit because the permit numbers on both sides of the placard did not match. The latest case, last week Monday, Jan. 12, involved someone who had taped a sticker reading “spring” over the word “fall” on a pass that was only valid last semester. DPS Community Programs Manager Sarah Rice said that the altered permit was a faculty and staff parking pass, but did not indi-

Courtney Teague Associate News Editor

cate whether or not the driver was a faculty or staff member. Rice said after the person returned to their vehicle, the altered permit was confiscated. Campus Judicial Services — the department tasked with reviewing cases and later penalizing violators — could not be reached for comment. UH Mānoa student Taylor Purvis said she understands why people would counterfeit a parking permit after paying the $5 parking fee daily last semester. Though Purvis had tried to obtain a semester-long pass this year, she was told they had sold out and instead opted to purchase a single-month pass. According to UH Commuter Services’ website, altering a parking permit comes with a minimum fine of $25, which increases to $35 if it isn’t paid within a week. Parking in spots reserved for those with disabilities fines are as much as $250, while the costs of the remaining infractions range from $15 to $25.

UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I AT MĀNOA / FLICKR 

Bley-Vroman announces search committee for new UH athletics director University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Chancellor Robert Bley-Vroman announced in a release Tuesday an eight-person search advisory committee that will select a new athletics director. “We are looking for a leader capable of excelling in multiple areas including community outreach and partnership building, with the dual goals of continuing academic achievement of our student-athletes while putting UH’s 21 teams in the best possible position to win,” said Bley-Vroman said in a release. “We also need someone with the ability and agility to lead UH during this complex and important time in the evolving

national collegiate athletics landscape.” Chairing the committee will be Warren H. Haruki, President and CEO of Grove Farm Co. and Chairman and CEO of Maui Land and Pineapple Co. He’s joined by: • John Dean: Chairman and CEO, Central Paciﬁc Bank, • David Ericson: Faculty Athletics Representative and Professor, College of Education, UHM, • Elizabeth M. Ignacio, MD: Surgical Director, Queen’s Center for Sports Medicine, • Marilyn Moniz-Kahoohanohano: Assistant Athletics Director, Intercollegiate Athletics, UHM, • Amanda Paterson: Director of Compliance, Intercollegiate Athletics, UHM, • Allen Uyeda: President and CEO, First Insurance Co. of Hawai’i, Ltd. (Retired), • Kelley Withy, MD: Professor, UH John A. Burns School of Medicine. Current director Ben Jay announced his resignation Dec. 9, stating his departure was for “family reasons.”

UH, USC researchers discover sulfate-eating microorganism Researchers from the University of Hawai‘i and the University of Southern California have discovered a species of sulfate-eating microorganism 200 miles off the coast of Washington, according to a report from the LA Times. “It’s about ﬁnding signs of life never detected before; be it on Earth, Mars, Jupiter’s ice-covered moon Europa or elsewhere,” Jan Amend, a microbial geochemistry professor at USC, said in the report.

Found at the edge of the Juan de Fuca tectonic plate, the microbes consume sulfate “to oxidize decaying biological material that sinks to the bottom of the sea,” according to the report. The team of researchers drilled corkscrew-like holes 150 to 350 feet into ocean ﬂoor and used aquifer water to pump samples. The project is funded by the National Science Foundation and the NASA Astrobiology Institute.

Advisory council submits finalists to fill Board of Regent seats The list of finalists for two Board of Regent seats for five-year terms has been sent to Gov. David Ige, according to a UH news release. The Candidate Advisory Council submitted the list of four finalists to fill one City and County of Honolulu seat, currently occupied by Regent Chuck Gee, and one Maui County seat, currently held by Regent Helen Nielsen. The selected finalists will begin their terms on July 1. Finalists for the City and County of Honolulu seat: 1. Peter S. Adler 2. Maralyn A. Kurshals 3. Michael T. McEnerney 4. Russel S. Nagata Finalists for the County of Maui seat: 1. Sherrilee K. Dodson 2. Vincent R. Linares 3. Anders F. Lyons 4. Helen F. Nielsen 5. Ernest K. Wilson The appointment of these seats is subject to confirmation by the state senate. The terms of interim regents Simeon Acoba, Dileep Bal and Peter Hoffmann are also subject to confirmation by the state senate.

Three-planet discovery paves way for atmospheric study, UH scientists say Researchers part of the Kepler Mission, which include University of Hawai‘ i scientists, have discovered a three-planet system that paves the way for atmospheric studies. “We’ve learned in the past year that planets the size and temperature of Earth are common in our Milky Way galaxy,” said UH astronomer professor Andrew Howard. “We also discovered some Earth-size planets that appear to be made of the same materials as our Earth, mostly rock and iron.” If the scientists ﬁnd that these nearly Earth-size planets have thick, hydrogen-rich atmospheres, they will learn that there is not much chance for life. “A thin atmosphere made of nitrogen and oxygen has allowed life to thrive on Earth. But nature is full of surprises. Many extrasolar planets discovered by the Kepler Mission are enveloped by thick, hydrogen-rich atmospheres that are probably incompatible with life as we know it,” said Ian Crossﬁeld, the University of Arizona astronomer who led this study. Data from the Kepler telescope last week, indicated that the three planets are favorable for atmospheric studies because of their close orbit to the bright star, EPIC 201367065, according to a release from the UH Institute of Astronomy. “Erik Petigura on our team found the transiting planets in the data from Kepler last week, on January 6th,” Howard said. “We then shifted into high gear and conducted many observations with telescopes on Earth [two on Big Island] and did lots of analysis to prove that the planets are real and to characterize them.”

iDecide Hawai‘ i is a result of a Health Resources and Services Admnistration grant awarded to Cheryl Albright in September 2014.

Website aims to increase organ donation awareness iDecide wants to build student involvement and education at UH, other universities SHIWANI JOHNSON STAFF WRITER

With more than 400 people in Hawai‘ i on the waiting list for a life-saving organ transplant, iDecide Hawai‘ i, an organization dedicated to informing college students about organ donation, is promoting its cause at the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa campus through social media and a new website, with the opportunity to win money and prizes. Cheryl Albright, the principal investigator of iDecide Hawai‘i, as well as a professor and researcher at the UH Mānoa School of Nursing and Dental Hygiene, is working with her team on campus to involve and eduacte students. “We are basically trying to increase awareness of organ donation after death. This is a federally funded study designed to educate via social avenues,” she said. iDecide is funded and supported by the federal Department of Health and Human Services, with the purpose of increasing undergraduate awareness about transplants and organ donation.

ORGAN DONATION

According to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) website, interested donors can register online or in person at the DMV. This will be noted on state driver’s licenses and state IDs.

You don’t want to throw away paper or cans, why throw away an organ? – CHERYL ALBRIGHT PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR OF IDECIDE HAWAI‘I

According to Albright, the process of collecting and transplanting organs is complicated due to race or certain medical traits. “Organs are actually very rare. You have to have a medically matched person,” she said. There are two types of organ transplants: living donations, where an individual can give an organ to another living individual, and donation following death, where a person receives the organ of a deceased donor. According to Albright, there is much more to the process than

want their organs back or transplant recipients fall in lover with a loved of the deceased. A lot of these urban legends are promoted by TV and movies, Albright said, adding that these myths scare people away from the idea of donation. iDecide hopes to counteract this type of negative view. IDECIDE

Garrison Carter, a Spanish major at UH Mānoa, notes his choice to be an organ donor on his driver’s license. He doesn’t often think about donating organs, but he made his

choice because it saves lives. In Hawai‘i alone, almost 400 people are on a waiting list for organ transplants, according to the DMV website. Albright says that in America, around 125 thousand people are in need of transplants. Despite the need for transplants, there are not enough organs to meet demands. Albright admits that the subject of death is tricky. She says that students should think of it as recycling. ”You don’t want to throw away paper or cans, why throw away an organ?” she said. The iDecide website has other aspects besides simply informing students about what it means to donate an organ. It also contains a resource page with information about other subjects that pertain to organ donation, such as sociology, history and psychology. Albright hints that it is perfect for general education students looking for a topic to write about. The social media aspect of iDecide allows students to acquire awareness while also having fun. Students can go down to Campus Center every week, where an iDecide booth will be located, and take

a picture and post it to Instagram with a hashtag for iDecide. Creating a YouTube video or submitting an assignment for any class pertaining to organ donation will also enter the student in a prize drawing. IN THE FUTURE

Albright says that within the next couple of semesters, iDecide will branch out and promote organ donation on other campuses throughout the state. By 2016 iDecide will be at Hawai‘i Paciﬁc University and the University of Hawai‘i at Hilo. Albright hopes more people will make the choice to be an organ donor, or at least become more knowledgeable about organ donation.

OUR VOICE

LEGISLATURE IS PART OF UH’S BUDGET PROBLEM When the legislature meets on Wednesday, it’s likely to be the beginning of another troubling session for UH. Already, hearings at the capitol have made it clear that lawmakers are hesitant to allocate new state funding for the university system. In light of fiscal problems with the UH Cancer Center, they’re particularly reluctant to allocate more money than they did last year to the Mānoa campus. At a Jan. 15 hearing, for example, Senate President Donna Mercado Kim questioned UH President David Lassner about what the university was doing to raise more of its own funds “instead of just coming to the Legislature every year and saying ‘We need more money,’” according to the Star-Advertiser. But saying UH is asking for “more money” isn’t quite accurate: cuts to state funding, both in the recent and more distant past, mean UH is just trying to retrieve some of the money it has lost. Cuts to state funding are nothing new at UH. Since 1987, state money has gone from just over 53 percent of the university’s total revenue to 40 percent in 2012, according to data compiled by the Chronicle of Higher Education. The data also shows how support declined after the start of the economic recession in 2008, just as enrollment began to increase, many of whom were turning to Hawai‘i’s public university to reinvent themselves in the weak economy. Holding UH’s leadership accountable is a necessary task, but how many times can Kim and her colleagues cut funding to the university in one session and chastise it in the next for requesting “more money?” The Legislature, after all, is a large part of the reason why UH is so cash-strapped in the first place. We don’t condone the high administrative salaries or the approaches UH has taken to projects like the Cancer Center. Surely, at least some of the decisions, such as relying on the cigarette tax as a stable source of income, were bad assumptions that have also contributed to the current financial mess in ventures like the Cancer Center. This session, though, it’s up to Kim and other lawmakers to avoid jumping to similarly poor conclusions. With UH’s bread-and-butter programs and departments severely strapped for basic resources, this isn’t the time for lawmakers to be so indiscriminate in their assessment of what’s worthy of funding at the university.

UH WRONG TO LEAVE STUDENTS OUT OF AD SEARCH The eight-person search committee charged with finding Mānoa’s next athletic director announced last week continues a common mantra: for UH, athletics is the front porch of the university and an essential part of maintaining a good relationship with the community. Although the committee does include a variety of community members, particularly business leaders, it left out a key group of stakeholders. Since 2011, students have paid $100 every year to prop up a financially failing athletic department. Their money isn’t all students contribute to UH athletics. In 2012, the athletic department established a group devoted to bringing more students to the stands at games. By creating the Manoa Maniacs, the department acknowledged how valuable student engagement with UH athletics is. Despite all of that, students have no representative on the committee that will determine who will lead the athletic department. Students have been included on other high-profile search and selection committees: ASUH President Richard Mizusawa was a member of the committee that selected UH President David Lassner last year, for example. After the athletic director search committee was announced last week, UH spokesman Dan Meisenzahl said the university wasn’t trying to spite any group with its choice of members. That may be so, but even if including a representative of the students never crossed the minds of those crafting the group, that is a problem itself. Student support, both financially and emotionally, has never been more important to the program. ABOUT OUR VOICE

Say ‘yes’ to legalizing gambling in Hawai‘ i in 2016 Measure would benefit island’s economy, tourism ROMAN KALINOWSKI / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

Because gambling is currently illegal, Hawai‘ i receives none of the billions the U.S. accrues in gross gambling revenue. ROMAN KALINOWSKI SENIOR STAFF WRITER

As attitudes toward gambling have become more relaxed, games of chance have been legalized in 48 of 50 U.S. states. In election year 2016, Hawai‘i and its politicians should follow suit to improve O‘ahu’s economy. UNDERGROUND ECONOMY

“Most economists believe outright prohibition leads to an underground economy,” University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa economics professor Sumner LaCroix said. The extent of the black market in Hawai‘ i, which includes gambling, is estimated to be from one to 10 percent of the 2013 state gross domestic product (GDP) of $70.11 billion. However, that revenue evades local and state tax-

ation, as illegal businesses have little incentive to follow other laws or business standards. NO CAN ENFORCE BAN

Prohibition of alcohol was repealed due to popular opposition after politicians realized they did not have the money or manpower to effectively enforce it. Similarly, in Hawai‘i, cockﬁghting, sports betting, video gambling machines and backroom card games are available to locals and tourists willing to track them down. In November, three Honolulu men were arrested for allegedly operating a gambling house that grossed $109,000 over three months, complete with seven gaming machines and a backroom baccarat table. Society tolerates alcohol yet forbids other equal, if not less damaging, vices: gambling, recreational

drugs such as marijuana and the selling of sex. Alcohol has been legal in the U.S. except for a brief prohibition from 1918 to 1933, despite ﬁndings from the National Institute of Health that alcohol contributes to the deaths of an average of 88,000 people annually. DOING IT RIGHT

Hawai‘ i would be unwise to attempt becoming the Las Vegas of the Paciﬁc. However, if implemented correctly, legal gambling could boost the local economy. While gambling problems such as addiction and shifting disposable income between businesses exist, the beneﬁts far outweigh the costs. The American Gaming Association reports that gross gaming revenue for the U.S. increased by almost $10 billion to $37.34 billion in 2012, of which Hawai‘ i’s businesses and

government received nothing. If legal, residents of Hawai‘ i would likely spend more of their disposable income at home instead of Las Vegas. Tourists would probably not come to Hawai‘ i solely for gambling, as there are far more established casino vacation destinations. However, gambling would generate tax revenue and employment opportunities as an additional form of tourist entertainment. Hotels featuring casinos would likely undergo renovations to offer gambling, leading to an increase in construction and hotel jobs. Legal gambling would attract additional international cruise lines to Hawai‘i while providing established local cruise lines with additional entertainment options.

LEGALITY IN HAWAI‘I

There have been several attempts to legalize gambling in Hawai‘i, but none have received enough political willpower to succeed. Most recently, House Bill 2788 was written in 2012 to establish a single casino in Waikīkī, but failed to receive enough votes during the election year. Now, lawmakers are considering the legalization of online gambling along with 10 other states. Attempting to enforce prohibition of vices such as gambling, recreational drugs and sex sales wastes tax revenue and police time while simultaneously increasing violence and criminal proﬁts. People over 18 have full control of their bodies and may consume anything or pursue any activity that does not harm anyone else or their property. Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

Department of Public Safety upgrades worth the cost LYNN NGUYEN STAFF WRITER

Despite thousands of dollars spent upgrading Campus Security into the Department of Public Safety (DPS), University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa students frequently receive emails reporting indecent exposure, sexual assault and chronic moped thefts. Although the changes seem like a waste of money, they may contribute to safety on campus. DPS ASSETS

Rice said that the changes were necessary, as they reflect DPS’s expanded community roles. The two major innovations were new uniforms for campus security officers and decals for patrol cars. According to Vice Chancellor for Administration Finance and OperMATHEW URSUA / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I  ations Kathy Cutshaw, officers were DPS has factored the $25,000 it is expected to spend into its budget. allowed to choose the appearance

and material of their uniforms. New decals on security patrol cars will include the number “911” in addition to the DPS emergency number. A WASTE OF MONEY?

Ka Leo previously reported DPS is expected to spend a total of $24,800 for the upgrades: $1,000 for new ofﬁcer patches and badges, around $11,000 for new uniforms and $12,000 for redesigning the patrol cars. These changes could be considered as unnecessary as UH Mānoa has several budget issues, including an inability to afford mortgage payments on the cancer center, budget cuts for the law school, nursing school and College of Natural Sciences as well as buildings that need renovation. Since the university is dealing with budget issues and backlogged maintenance, spending money for

911 decals seems redundant when the vehicles already have DPS’s emergency number. JUSTIFIED EXPENSES

However, DPS community programs manager Sarah Rice explained that DPS’s operating budget covered the expenses without additional money from the university. “This was all within our normal spending throughout the year,” Rice said. Rice said the new uniforms are more cost-effective than the previous ones. The new decals will provide clarity during emergencies. While people can call DPS, the department does not have emergency response capability, so the community is encouraged to call 911. Although the recent DPS changes seem unnecessary, they beneﬁt the UH Mānoa students and faculty and are affordable for the school.

COVER STORY

What caused the Charlie Hebdo Attacks Why we should criticize bad ideas and how the terrorists undermined themselves

 SOZIALFOTOGRAFIE / FLICKR

While known for its portrayal of the prophet Mohammed, Charlie Hebdo also lampooned Jewish and Christian subjects. PAVEL STANKOV ASSOCIATE OPINIONS EDITOR

Back in October comedian Bill Maher was under fire for stating the obvious: Some cultural institutions are worse than others because they allow violence to be propagated as a part of a doctrine. The topic was extremist Islam in the context of freedom of speech. “It’s the only religion that acts like the mafia that will f***ing kill you if you say the wrong thing, draw the wrong picture, or write the wrong book,” Maher said. Otherwise well-meaning people interpreted that as bigotry and gross generalization and blamed the comedian for everything from racism (as if Islam was a race) to insensitivity and ignorance. But they missed and keep missing one key point: Institutions (like Islam and other religions) are human inventions that people can choose and abandon. That is why it’s okay to criticize and make fun of them. Two weeks ago, Maher’s words were confirmed by a horrendous act of vile religious extremism when Saïd and Chérif Kouachi nearly decimated the editorial board of satirical French magazine Charlie Hebdo. Al-Qaeda in Yemen later claimed responsibility for the terrorist act. Political correctness aside, the attack has everything to do with Islam. If it didn’t, its perpetuators would not be so unambiguous in their message “Allahu Akbar!” and give so clear an indication of what they are about avenging the apparently very insecure prophet Mohammad. Nope, they yelled neither “Down with Western imperialism!” nor “Give us a chance to integrate in French society!” They were men on the well-defined

mission to get to those 72 virgins up above. Islam killed again because people who follow the doctrine killed again and justiﬁed the act with their faith. Verses authorizing violence in no uncertain terms abound in the Quran and scholars of Islam often have to go to great lengths to explain we are misunderstanding what the religion of peace really means: jihad is an internal struggle, and the heads ISIS regularly chops off are just as much an abomination to Allah as to any mentally stable human. Good luck trying to explain that to

makes a crucial point: There is a difference between the people and the belief. Of course, a very small number of Muslims condone violence like the Charlie Hebdo attack. But it would be a mistake, nevertheless, to try to look for the primary cause elsewhere. “Islam is to blame, not Muslims,” Behlilovic says. And we can’t forget that two of our heroes in the Charlie Hebdo story were Muslim. Lassana Bathily is a 24-year old Malian who hid six customers and a baby in a walk-in freezer during the kosher store siege. Right after the attack, he said to a French TV channel: “We

It’s not a question of Jews, of Christians or of Muslims. We’re all in the same boat. – LASSANA BATHILY MUSLIM GROCERY CLERK WHO SHELTERED SEVEN PEOPLE FROM THE ATTACKERS

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, head of ISIS. We ought to get off the high horse of sophisticated religious scholarship and appreciate the lack og understanding most believers have. Understandably, the thought is not nice, but it has the advantage of reﬂecting reality. For most people, what the scripture says is no ordinary text and without error or fault in all of its teachings – also known as inerrancy. And things that boast with inerrancy are not big on inviting critical thinking. Like all institutions based on authority, Islam exists because it precludes challenge, criticism and freedom of speech. “This is permeated and exacerbated by the Muslim religion,” says Adnan Behlilovic, a Hawai‘i Paciﬁc University student majoring in diplomacy and military studies. Born in predominately Muslim Bosnia and Herzegovina, Behlilovic

are brothers. It’s not a question of Jews, of Christians or of Muslims. We’re all in the same boat; we have to help each other get out of this crisis.” He gets it. Behlilovic points out to the other — police ofﬁcer Ahmed Merabet — who, like his executor, is a French-Algerian. “There’s a distinct allegory here,” Behlilovic says. “One is a champion of justice and one is a champion of injustice. You have the terrorists but you also have the legal system.” This tells us that the problem is deeper than a “clash of civilizations,” or a struggle between a Muslim Middle East and a secular Europe. It’s a struggle between dogmatism and human progress and it’s just as cosmic as the terrorists understood it to be. The Charlie Hebdo attackers ﬁred their bullets against a set of values: democracy,

peace, equality, individual rights and freedom of speech and consciousness. The terrorists were, however, ultimately cutting the branch they were sitting on because these values are universal. The values of secular humanism happened to arise in Europe, but that need not make them Western. They are for all of us because we are equal. It is symbolic that the attack happened on French soil, since France is the cradle of democracy and egalitarianism that all death cults despise and the bastion of free speech that gave us Voltaire. But all of this was perhaps an accident of history. Our awakening to egalitarianism and political freedom could have happened in the Middle East during the 12th century when the Abbasid Caliphate was the center of science, philosophy and education. Last week, we gathered more evidence supporting what many are afraid to think out of fear of committing some mental crime: Islamism is not compatible with the democratic values of our contemporary world. It’s not compatible with equality and mutual respect and it is not an adequate mechanism in fostering a better future – one where all humans ﬂourish. In a statement following the attack, author Salman Rushdie, himself prosecuted for blasphemy by Iran, unequivocally defends the right to free speech as a cornerstone of contemporary secular civilization. “Religions, like all other ideas, deserve criticism, satire, and, yes, our fearless disrespect,” he writes. Religion is just a corpus of ideas for three main reasons: we are not born having one and we can leave

the one we are socialized into, it could be wrong, and it’s separable from the rest of culture. To put it crudely, we can have falafel without jihad. But not all sets of ideas are created equal. Whereas most have left the tactics of violence and intimidation in previous centuries, there is a glaring exception we should stop pretending not to see. Charlie Hebdo was equally irreverent to all religions, but its team was not massacred by angry Catholics nor was its ofﬁce stormed by the Jewish mob. We shouldn’t therefore respect all ideas and we should admit that some are worse than others. If it was not a set of bad ideas that made the 9/11 hijackers crash two planes full of people into the World Trade Center, just what was it? And unlike states that we can’t choose and can have no signiﬁcance to our moral lives, religion is a matter of choice. And Islam is the religion that acknowledges it perhaps most forcefully: “There shall be no compulsion in religion,” the Quran says. Ultimately, for this world to be a peaceful place, we have to treat all ideas without double standards. Let’s not be cowered by those who try to impose blasphemy laws on our liberal modern societies. We cannot allow religious censorship into a century that began with humanity decoding its genome. But we shouldn’t be pessimistic, either, because minds are more powerful than guns and freedom of speech is the kind of universal right that inevitably trumps medieval bullies.

SEA LIFE Home to numerous native species as well as a few invasive aliens, the waters of Hawai‘i are full of marine life. That being said, there are a few species that should be avoided or taken with caution. Fireworms: These pink devils may look harmless, but a simple touch can have you yelling in agony. The neurotoxins that ﬁreworms produce give a burning sensation that lasts a few hours, so be sure not to touch them. Sea urchin (wana): One quick glance and you can tell these echinoderms are not so nice. Mostly immobile, these invertebrates utilize their articulated spines for protection and movement. Some urchins have painful venom. Be sure not to step on any, as their spines will break off and are difﬁcult to remove.

A startup guide to snorkeling IKAIKA SHIVELEY ASSOCIATE FEATURES EDITOR

SWIMMING ENVIRONMENT ABILITIES While the pristine, blue waters give the appearance of bliss, the ocean is a harsh place. Being aware of one’s surroundings is another tip that shouldn’t be taken lightly. Chances are you’ll be snorkeling in a location with fish, which means fishermen may also be present. To determine if a spear fisherman is around, just look for a floating buoy or flag in the area. If there is one, give them their space. It’s respectful, plus a spear sticking out of your body isn’t fun. Murky water can ruin your snorkeling trip. Not only does it make it difficult to see oncoming reef or rocks, but it can also conceal a much larger problem – sharks. While not all species attack humans, the murkiness of the water can potentially confuse a shark and make it take a bite out of your ‘ōkole.

To fully enjoy snorkeling you will need to be an adequate swimmer. This doesn’t mean you need a swim cap and a swimming speed that rivals Michael Phelps, but you should be able to tread water for several minutes without difficulty. Each location throughout the island differs from the next, which means a variety of abilities must be acquired to explore each. If you get easily tired out by swimming short distances, it’s advised to stick closer to shore or to shallow reefs. Another important skill is being able to hold your breath. While a snorkel allows divers to breathe as they float on the surface, it doesn’t help in any way once submerged. The ability to hold one’s breath allows snorkelers to dive further down and observe whatever may lie on the seafloor. To build up your lung capacity, practice holding your breath for 30 seconds or more during your time on land, whether it be in the shower, laying in bed or even in organic chemistry as you try to avoid breathing in chemicals. Taking a breath and exhaling for a few seconds more than usual before inhaling again is one technique. As you continue this process, gradually begin holding your breath for a longer period than the last.

On O‘ahu, there are several perks that offer great conditions for outdoor activities: favorable weather, breathtaking scenery and beautiful beaches. One of the most popular activities is snorkeling. Exploring the native marine life of the islands has become a hobby for some, especially for marine biology students on campus. However, enjoying ocean life isn’t restricted those who study it academically. This guide, will give tips for individuals who have been contemplating snorkeling, but don’t know where to start.

Eels: If you snorkel in a rocky or reef region, approach crevices or holes with caution, as an eel may be inside. While eels don’t go out of their way to attack, they may strike with their sharp teeth if they feel threatened. Cone snails: The shells of snails may be visually appealing, but be sure it isn’t a species of cone snail before picking it up. Depending on the species, these creatures have a venom, which can be deadly. Gloves can protect against some, but caution is still advised.

EQUIPMENT If you don’t already own snorkeling equipment, it’s time to invest if you choose to snorkel on a regular basis. There are many varieties of masks and snorkels sold through retailers, and they have a broad range of prices. For the best help, visit a dive shop, which is usually found near beaches. Equipment can also be found at Walmart and other similar stores. Remember to avoid cheap equipment, as they may break within a few uses. Make sure the snorkel you choose has a cover over the opening, which will prevent splashed water or waves from entering your air source. Although fins aren’t necessary, they aid in movement. With fins, snorkelers can cover ground at a quicker pace with less energy exerted. Longer fins give extra power with each kick. Avoid boarding fins (these are short), as they are used for quicker motions rather than fluidity. Dive gloves are also a must if you choose to interact with the marine life. Not only will gloves give you extra grip on slippery rocks, but they are also perfect for protecting hands from jagged reefs and marine life.

DA SPOTS

TIP: Spit in goggles and rub to avoid them fogging up quickly.

Kewalo’s: Wanting to swim less while snorkeling? Kewalo Basin, located near the docks of Ala Moana, is tailor-made for shallow exploration. Being a heavily rocky area, reef boots are a necessity. Thankfully cheap boots can be found at any sports retailer, costing an average of $10. Filled with invertebrates, this spot is not only a marine biologist’s Shangri-La, but is also a frequent destination for Mānoa’s Zoology 475.

Waikīkī: Waikīkī is tourist heaven, as the waters are ﬂooded with surfers, stand up paddlers, water bikes and a few other activities. It’s also a fantastic place to learn how to snorkel. Mostly protected by reef, the Waikīkī waters are safe from most predators. Small, shallow reefs are scattered throughout Waikīkī’s shore, making for endless possibilities.

Lanikai Beach: This prime destination, located on the east side of O‘ahu, has become a regular snorkeling destination for locals. Lanikai generally isn’t too crowded snorkeling-wise. With an abundance of reef communities, this spot is perfect for those wanting to spend several hours reenacting a “Blue Planet” episode with David Attenborough’s voice echoing in your head. The depth ranges between three to 25 feet, depending on the location, which makes it a great location for any level of swimmer. Sea turtles are commonly found grazing along the reef, as well as hundreds of other species of marine life.

TIP: Strength in numbers. Always have a dive buddy for safety.

MANGA MONDAYS

‘Onepunch-Man’ A hilarious story about a hero who saves the world with a single punch

SOURCE: VIZ MEDIA 

HENRY MA STAFF WRITER

Most of us are used to the common formula of storyline where both the good guys and the bad guys are evenly matched in terms of strength, not knowing who will come out as victor in the end. But what if there was a manga in which the good guy is so overly powerful that every fight he gets into ends with just a single punch from his godly fists? The manga “Onepunch-Man” was originally a webcomic created by an author known as ONE back in 2009 that gathered an enormous amount of attention. The series had gotten so popular that renowned manga artist Yusuke Murata – known for his work in the popular manga “Eyeshield 21” – contacted ONE to collaborate and remake “Onepunch-Man.” With the brilliant art of Yusuke Murata and the hilarious mind of ONE, came one of the most popular mangas in Japan. The manga was nominated for the 2014 Manga Taishou Award. So what is “Onepunch-Man” about and how is it different from the rest of the mangas out there? Two words: One punch. The main protagonist is known as Saitama, an average guy living a life in a world full of dangerous monsters constantly plaguing the human race. To combat this threat, an organization of heroes was created to fight against those who wished to destroy the world. Problem is, the heroes aren’t doing that well, as the monsters are gradually

starting to get stronger. This isn’t a problem for Saitama, however, as he ends up showing up at the last minute to ﬁnish off the monsters in an instant. The storyline is great, as no one in the manga can really acknowledge Saitama’s strength given his average appearance. It’s just so refreshing to see a typical guy humorously beating up menacing-looking enemies with such ease. It’s true that, the storyline gets really predictable because any bad guy that comes in the main character’s way just gets utterly destroyed, but it’s also what gives the manga its unique charm. The manga mixes serious and downright funny scenes throughout the story. I was literally rolling on the ground laughing from all of the humor that this manga provides. The only real annoyance I had with this manga is that it updates extremely slow on the Internet, so you will have to wait a great amount of time before the next chapter to come out. If you absolutely can’t wait to see what enemy Saitama will pulverize next, you can read ONE’s original version of the manga, which is a couple hundred chapters ahead of the remake. Just don’t mind the drastic change of artwork between ONE’s and Yusuke’s version, because the original webcomic series wasn’t necessarily praised for its artwork. However, it’s not always about the artwork, but more about the storytelling that ONE delivers.

‘Do you even lift?’ ‘No.’ Gym tips for those who don’t go to the gym AIKO MURAKAMI STAFF WRITER

Now that UH has finally opened its Warrior Recreation Center, you can finally start that new workout regime you made for yourself months ago. Or maybe you can actually stick to that New Year’s resolution and hit the gym to lose some pounds. All you need to do is walk in. You can think about walking into that grand building that upped tuition all you want, but just thinking about it will never make it happen. Taking that first step can be hard, especially if you happen to not have that “gym-going” image. Like everything else in life, going to the gym can be made easier if you approach it correctly.

go is early in the morning. Open at 5:30 a.m. on the weekdays, you can have a reasonable amount of time at the gym when it is almost empty. Just keep in mind that around 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., people start to trickle in. POWER IN NUMBERS

The saying is true; there is power in numbers. Going to the gym with friends allows you to take a bit of familiarity into foreign territory. If you are going for your ﬁrst time, bringing friends may be a good idea so that they could show you the ropes if they are already experienced. It is always nice to have a guide when you enter uncharted lands. Aside from showing you around

Daily, 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. is the rush shift. So if you go earlier than that, it’s less crowded. – ALICIA CHANG WARRIOR REC CENTER WORKER

KNOW THE BEST TIMES

The Rec Center can get annoyingly crowded. “[It is empty on] holidays and breaks, but it’s really crowded after holidays and breaks,” said Alicia Chang, a student at UH Mānoa and worker at the Warrior Rec Center. “Daily, 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. is the rush shift. So if you go earlier than that, it’s less crowded.” If you were reluctant to even step foot in the gym, chances are that you would rather have it empty as opposed to jam-packed. If your schedule allows it, the best time to

the building, experienced gym-goers can guide you through exercises and help you ﬁgure out what exercises to do. Making a solid routine is way more beneﬁcial and useful than just wandering in and defaulting to the elliptical all the time. During the exercises, they can encourage, push and correct you. Sooner than you know it, you will become one of the experienced ones, ready to take your other friends to the gym. If you and your friends all happen to be new to the gym, then at least you can all go through the new expe-

rience together. When you know you are not the only one going through a new, tricky situation, it somehow makes you feel a little bit better. IT’S ALL ABOUT MINDSET

One last tip that works for any part of life is to have a good mindset. Do not be afraid to go to the gym: There really is no reason to be afraid. You could be a brand new gym-goer and go alone at 5 p.m., and if you have a good mindset, you will be ﬁne. No matter who you are, as long as you have good etiquette, others at the gym will not give you any trouble for being there with them. We are not in a teen drama movie; nobody will walk up and start to bully you for coming to the gym. The most people can do is judge a little bit in their heads. No matter what you think, judging does absolutely nothing to hurt you unless you allow it to. Walk in to the gym like you have every right to be there, because you do. If you go in thinking “I can and I will” every day, nothing can stop you. If you want to go to the gym, it is as simple as swiping your ID and bringing a towel. Do not let imaginary stares and looks stop you from pursuing a healthier lifestyle. If you are not able to change that mental switch and push yourself to go, try going with a friend or two to comfort yourself in a new situation. Also, come at relatively empty hours if you feel uncomfortable with too many people around. Make use of our new facilities and live a better life. Go to the gym. Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

It’s rare to find an app that is unique from the rest, especially when it comes to puzzle games. But Oink Games’ game, “MUJO,” is just that. The objective is to use offensive tiles to defeat opponents that do not attack back. The screen is filled with an 8x7 layout of tiles, which is composed of offensive tiles (swords), XP tiles and a few others. With a series of at least three of the same tiles, the player has the option to tap one of the tiles to collect its power, or hold the tile to condense all connecting tiles and produce a higher valued block. Condensing tiles is the ideal strategy when combating strong enemies. With a Greek mythology theme, players will encounter gorgons, cyclopes, minotaurs and dozens of other monsters. Players are also able to use three Greek gods, each with their own specific ability. What makes “MUJO” fun is that it is a mix between an innovative puzzle game and a role-playingstyle combat. While the enemies refrain from fighting back, their ability to heal after each turn adds even more of a challenge. Combining simple gameplay with challenging levels is a feat that is difficult to achieve, yet “MUJO” finds a way to do so.

“Selma” hurts. It hurts and wants viewers to keep that hurt even after the end credits. While the ﬁlm takes place in the past, it provides commentary for the present. Director Ava DuVernay takes viewers to one of the bloodiest battlegrounds of the Civil Rights Movement – Selma, Alabama, in 1965. Martin Luther King, Jr. (David Oyelowo) is deep in his campaign against racism, and the strains of battling an intangible force are beginning to show on him. King’s booming speeches to the public displays his invincibility, whereas his tired words in private reveals his humanity. This ﬁlm isn’t looking to paint a portrait without

blemishes as his imperfections are exposed for all to see. Despite King’s ﬂaws being revealed, the fruits of his efforts show why the man is so praised. It is in the privacy of his living room that we see his motivations for the plans he brings to the back rooms of the revolution, and it is in these back rooms that we see why the battle on the streets was fought in the manner it was. “Selma” reveals the thinking of both the leader and the movement. The cast is large, and each character reveals a different facet of the revolution – elderly men, women, white men and women, men with hatred for whites, men with hatred for King, men with hatred for Malcolm X. While these differing qualities threaten to cause rifts, the

However, the scenes that show the crimes against the black community stomped out any positive emotions. The spontaneity of the brutality was heart-stopping, and the shock didn’t leave me for some time – not even after I had left the theatre. The battle for equality was onesided. The scenes of unarmed, fleeing demonstrators being chased down like animals by men astride horses are a microcosm for the helplessness of the black community in the face of unjustified prejudice at the time. At some points, real footage from 1965 was used, which

was just as powerful as the dramatic representation of the protests. “Selma” has a timely release, with scenes of men and women stumbling through tear gas and a young, unarmed man being shot by a police ofﬁcer. It is clear that the emphasis on such scenes was deliberate – an attempt to parallel the silver screen with television screens bearing news of the Ferguson, Missouri riots and other protests across the United States. The connection couldn’t have been made more obvious, with Golden Globe-winning “Glory” playing at the end credits – the lyrics dropping reference to Ferguson. DuVernay doesn’t want to leave audiences in Selma when there is a Ferguson in our time. Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

CANDLES

BARBELLS IN EXCESS OF 25 POUNDS EACH

Having a romantic evening without candles can be tricky. While some students opt for battery-operated candles, these often lack the aromatic scents needed to set the mood, so why not purchase some boring battery candles, and then place them on top of heavily scented bath salts and soaps? Go to a store with the sweetest scented bathing supplies you can ﬁnd, purchase several dozen bars of soap, and then line your room with them. Once your room has successfully been covered in perfumy delights, place the fake candles on top. It will be like having normal scented candles, except without those pesky ﬂames. Your beloved date will feel right at home.

Many people enjoy working out within the comfort of their own dorm room (especially those who enjoy the ambiance of their soaps and smartphones). However, after a while, 25 pounds doesn’t seem like enough. Luckily, the ﬁx for this is easy. Determine the weight of the barbell you want (let’s say 30 pounds), then ﬁnd two barbells that add up to that weight (15 and 15). Scotch tape them together, and voilà – a barbell of the appropriate desired weight that is technically not a single barbell. Plus, the clear tape will blend in with the weights much more than duct tape would.

For those who dorm, many of Student Housing Services’ rules feel inconvenient. Plenty of students desire 40-gallon ﬁsh tanks to house lobsters, or feel that halogen lamps truly provide the best illumination for studying. Alas, not only must these students forego their desires in order to abide by the rules, they must also survive without excellent alternatives for their wants. While there may not be hope for those who crave a 40-gallon lobster tank, there are substitutions for some prohibited items. Here are some of the items prohibited at the dorms and what you can use instead.

OPEN FLAMES

ALCOHOL

Even with your room full of soap and battery-operated candles, you may still feel the urge to see flames. Luckily, there are many candle flame, campfire and lighter apps available for smartphones. In order to feel as though you are surrounded by fire within the comfort of your dorm room, purchase around 20-30 smartphones, and then download various flame-related apps. Prop up the smartphones around your room and turn on all of the fiery apps that you acquired. For the full effect, do this in May or August, turn off all of your fans, shut your windows and cover yourself in a blanket – it will feel as if you were surrounded by real fire. While the phones may be expensive, the wonder of being surrounded by flames in a dorm room is priceless.

Restrictions on alcohol in the dorms can be complicated, so it is important to read up on what is and isn’t allowed. However, one thing is certain – you cannot drink it if you are under 21, and getting caught with it will get you into big trouble. But, if you feel the need for a drink, then you may turn to kombucha. So long as it is less than 0.5 percent alcohol, anyone can purchase it. Fill your room with kombucha, and keep empty kombucha bottles around to show your peers just how much you have consumed. By drinking your weight in kombucha, you may begin to feel a little buzzed. It’s either the alcohol, the fact that you drank way too much liquid or the vapors from your fragrant soaps ﬁnally getting to your head. One way or another, you’ll feel great because you will have implemented so many excellent alternatives to prohibited dorm items.

AIR CONDITIONERS OR CEILING FANS (IN UNITS WHERE THEY ARE NOT PROVIDED) Although being surrounded by faux flames may be fun on some days, there are others that are simply too hot to handle. On such days, the majority of dorming students either pine for AC or go visit friends in Frear Hall. One or two little desk fans won’t cut it. But for those who desire a cooler room, but don’t want to break the rules by installing prohibited cooling units, there is a better way. Purchase several power strips, and then plug them all into each other in your room. Next, buy as many fans as you can possibly fit into your dorm space (Pro tip: A roommate’s bed is always a convenient place to put more fans), then plug them into the aforementioned power strips. Make sure you don’t overload the system – that would be unwise. Turn them all on their maximum speeds at the same time. Approximately 30-40 fans will suffice to create a wind vortex powerful enough to feel way better than a ceiling fan or an AC unit. Soon, your friends in Frear will be visiting your room to cool off.

Rainbow Wahine find positives in first conference win JEREMY NITTA ASSOCIATE WEB EDITOR

Entering conference play, the ‘Bows had high hopes after going toe-to-toe with some of the best teams in the country. Instead, the team dropped a pair of games to open conference play against two opponents expected to compete with the ‘Bows for the conference title. But the Rainbow Wahine were finally able to get on track against UC Riverside (UCR), holding on for a 69-58 victory. “I think this win was very important,” junior guard Destiny King said. “We’ve been experimenting with different lineups, so getting some chemistry has been huge. Also, getting Shawna [Kuehu] back into the mix is important.” Things didn’t begin well for the Rainbow Wahine. After a scoreless start that stretched over the first three minutes of the game, senior guard Shawna-Lei Kuehu entered the game off the bench. Kuehu, the team’s leading scorer and rebounder, had missed the last two games due to injury. But while Kuehu showed signs of rust in her first action, she was able to spark the ‘Bows defensively. Over

Hawai‘i continued to struggle to connect, but Riverside was able to finally find the basket. With 10:17 left in the game, UCR’s Brittany Crain drilled a three-pointer to give UCR its first lead since the 14:49 mark of the first half, 47-44. But Hawai‘i was able to finally find some rhythm, sparked by senior forward Ashleigh Karaitiana. After UCR took the lead, Karaitiana scored eight of Hawai‘ i’s next 13 points to help Hawai‘ i reclaim the lead. Karaitiana’s outburst helped reignite the Rainbow Wahine at both ends. While Hawai‘i connected on six of their next seven shots, they also forced UCR to miss five straight. “Ashleigh had the task of defending one of the best scorers in the country [Crain] for 35 minutes,” Beeman said. “And I think she did a wonderful job making things difficult for her.” “It was just my defensive assignment,” Karaitiana said. “I don’t care who my assignment is. I will respect the player I’m guarding, when I’m given my assignment. I’m going to try and be as coachable as possible and do what I have to do.” In regards to her offense, Karaitiana was equally nonchalant about

a two-minute span, Hawai‘i forced four UCR turnovers, and converted into 7-0 run to burst ahead 14-8. The ‘Bows were also able to hold UCR scoreless for over four minutes. Hawai‘i struggled through a 2-of11 stretch to close the half, but Riverside was also finding it difficult to score, making just one of eight shots to finish the first half. As a team, Hawai‘i shot 33.3 percent, largely in part to their hot streak midway through the half. Riverside shot a dismal 25.9 percent from the field, but was able to remain close due to Hawai‘ i’s struggles from the field. Hawai‘ i led 30-26 at the end of the first break. “We’re hitting our stride defensively, but offensively we still will take some time,” head coach Laura Beeman said. “Execution has been the buzz word for us lately. We will always come out and play hard. We believe we will never be out-executed. It’s just a matter of executing what we have to do.”

her personal achievements. “I’ve been in a bit of a drought lately, so it was great to finally see my shot go through the net,” Karaitiana said. “But coach has been really encouraging about it, just telling me to hold my form and square up, and I was able to do that tonight.” From there, Hawai‘i surged to the finish, forcing Riverside to miss eight of their final 10 shots to cruise to a 69-58 win. King poured in 17 points and grabbed nine rebounds to lead Hawai‘ i, while Karaitiana scored 13 of her 15 points in the second half. Hawai‘i also dominated UCR inside, outscoring them 28-16 in the paint, and outrebounding them 49-30, including an 18-5 edge in offensive rebounds. But the big story of the night was the hope that the team has finally turned the corner, both health-wise and performance-wise. Kuehu’s return obviously served

as a reason for optimism following the win, albeit a bit tempered. “Shawna is still kinda a day-today thing,” Beeman said. “If she feels good, then she’s going to play. If she needs to come out, then we have to take her out. Right now, a lot of it is just her getting her strength back. But what Shawna brings when she’s on the court is added composure. What a lot of people don’t know about Shawna is how important her rebounds are. She doesn’t get a lot of big rebound numbers, but what she does do is get the rebounds that prevent offensive rebound opportunities. We gave up a lot more offensive rebounds at Northridge

and Cal Poly because we were missing Shawna’s ﬁve to nine rebounds a game.” Also, Beeman pointed towards the leadership that the team has received with Kuehu unavailable. “Destiny has really come on as our leader out there,” Beeman said. “That’s important, because she’s always been our voice out there, but now she’s using that to lead.” After a pause, Beeman chuckled as she summarized the growth of her junior guard. “Destiny has had to learn to lead differently,” Beeman said. “Leaders have to be able to be hard on you, but give you the love after. We say that Destiny is the type that will

hit you in the face as a leader, but leaders have to give you an icepack afterwards. Destiny is learning to give that icepack now.”

The Rainbow Warriors fell to UC Riverside in their ﬁrst conference road game on Saturday. The 66-62 defeat marked the second straight time that Hawai‘i lost its conference road opener. Stefan Jankovic led the team with 17 points in his ﬁrst start of the season. Isaac Fleming scored 15 points off the bench, but it wasn’t enough to overcome a career-high 22 points from UCR’s Steven Thornton. The team was without Garret Nevels and Negus Webster-Chan, who were both injured.

The Rainbow Wahine tennis team upset No. 29 Kentucky in its ﬁrst dual match of the season this past Tuesday, the team’s ﬁrst win against a ranked opponent this season. The Wildcats took the early advantage in doubles play, but the Wahine rallied in singles competition after being down three points to one. UH’s Viktoria Malova, Cindy Nguyen, Martina Kostalova and Paulina Petriskova won all their matches to come from behind, winning by a four- to three-point margin. However, the Wahine were no match against No. 25 Mississippi on Friday night, losing by a score of 6-0. Only one UH player, Sarah Gealer, was able to play into the third set, but lost to Mississippi’s Iris Verboven. Nguyen, Malova, Kostalova, Petriskova and Rebecca Faltusz all lost in two sets.

The University of Hawai‘ i women’s basketball team earned its first Big West Conference win of the season this past Saturday night against UC Riverside, winning by a score of 69-58. The ‘Bows were led by Destiny King, who flirted with a double-double, scoring 17 points alongside her nine rebounds. Ashleigh Karaitiana also reached double digits in rebounds, securing nine boards to go along with 15 points. Hawai‘ i improved to a 9-7 record on the season while improving its conference record to 1-2. The Rainbow Wahine shot 31.3 percent from the field, which was also the same field goal percentage as UC Riverside. The difference in the ball game was the 3-pointer from UH who scored 24 field goals from long range, compared to the 18 makes from deep by UC Riverside.

The Warrior volleyball team upset No. 3 ranked UC Santa Barbara (UCSB) in four sets, handing the Gauchos their ﬁrst loss of the season this past Friday night. The Warriors won the ﬁrst two sets of the match 25-23, 25-23 but dropped the third set 24-26. The ‘Bows were able to hold off UCSB, however, winning the fourth set 27-25. The victory over UCSB comes after release of the most recent AVCA Poll this past Monday that saw the Warriors rise to No. 9 nationally. UH improves to a 4-1 record on the season while winning their conference opener against the Gauchos.

BLAKE'S TAKE

Dropping the ball The university’s lack of conviction on the Benjy Taylor situation doesn’t make sense

NICK HUTH / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

In his first season as head coach, Benjy Taylor has beaten teams from the ACC, the Big Ten and the PAC-12. BLAKE TOLENTINO WEB SPECIALIST

Since the dismissal of former men’s basketball head coach Gib Arnold, interim head coach Benjy Taylor has rescued a program from the edge. In the wake of the incident, Taylor took over a team that began hemorrhaging players, providing stability and identity to a program left shellshocked by the administration’s sudden action against its former coach. With little support from the administration, a team that had barely played together and waning commitment from new recruits, Taylor was thrust into a situation that set him up for failure. Taylor responded by overcoming nearly every trial in his path. That Taylor managed to rally a team whose lack of trust in the University of Hawai‘i athletics department was made public through the media is no small feat. Taylor took the sense of betrayal that he and his players both felt and focused it into a unifying bond. He won the following of his veterans and convinced an anxious Isaac Fleming to stick it out for at least a year. Despite the short notice, he managed to reach out and assemble a new staff of coaches with previous stops at Baylor, Marquette and UCLA. Taylor won over the fans with his frank answers to tough questions

and his open criticism of the handling of the changeover. With the fans searching for answers, Taylor pulled no punches in his discussion of the situation and his own future with the program. Arnold had always been a master salesman to the fans, spinning tales of the grandiosity awaiting the program just beyond the next season. Taylor instead leveled with the fans who responded to his open-

the most non-conference wins ever in a season and the team’s highest ﬁnish yet in the Diamond Head Classic. Taylor was thrown to the lions by the administration. He responded by winning over the players, fans and opponents. Why is it then, in light of such improbable success, that the university continues to drag its feet regarding his future?

Halfway through the season, Taylor still hasn’t been extended, nor have any other names been announced as candidates. ness under the shadow of an NCAA investigation. Perhaps most importantly, Taylor has produced on the court. Despite installing new schemes just weeks before the start of the season, Taylor’s squad has outpaced expectations, taking big wins from power conference schools en route to a 12-4 non-conference record. Even before the departure of Arnold, Isaac Fotu and Sammis Reyes, few predicted such strong performances against 2014 NCAA tournamant teams. With just one returning starter, one could be forgiven for expecting a slow start as the players learned their roles and developed chemistry. Instead, they garnered

Halfway through the season, Taylor’s team still hasn’t been extended, nor have any other names been announced as candidates. OBSTACLES OF HIRING PROCESS

Current athletic director Ben Jay is a lame duck whose successor has yet to be chosen. The search for a replacement has impeded the search for Arnold’s permanent replacement. In addition, Hawai‘ i law requires any state ofﬁce opening to be advertised for one month before a successor can be chosen, artiﬁcially extending the process. On the surface, those two realities complicate the situation. However, they are poor excuses when exposed to closer scrutiny. In

the case of Jay, he was never the ﬁnal word to begin with, as all contracts had to receive the approval of upper campus. Upper campus could have stepped in at any time to expedite the process. As for the month long wait, few realistic candidates would be responding to the advertisement at the start of a new season. The real obstacle is that those in charge haven’t taken Taylor seriously yet. The administration has already extended an offer. It also happens to be an offer so insulting they might as well have tried to pay Taylor in magic beans. They reportedly offered Taylor a one-year extension as the interim head coach. Paying $190,000, the offer being only $5000 more than the minimum allowed to be paid to Taylor’s position. Britney Spears showed more commitment when she married Jason Alexander for two days. No one expects the university to throw Arnold’s old salary at Taylor after half a season. But the average salary of men’s basketball coaches in the Big West is $205,430; surely Taylor deserves at least as much after such a successful non-conference season amidst turmoil. If the university isn’t prepared to offer a competitive salary to its successful coach, it should not expect that coach to want to stick around, especially considering the lack of trust following Arnold’s surprise dismissal. If they intend on

ﬁnding a new coach, the university should afford Taylor respect and signal their intentions instead of lowballing him. In this era of college sports, continuity is more important than ever. It takes time to build a program and develop players. Recruits won’t commit to play for a coach that won’t be there next year. If the university is serious about supporting its athletic teams, it needs to step up and decide now. If they won’t retain Taylor, they need to start vetting candidates. If they want to keep Taylor, they need to reward him for his results with a real offer. What the university does now will affect the program for years to come. Taylor’s future (or lack thereof ) with the team will affect the commitments of new recruits, as well as that of current players. The possible consequences are no doubt weighing heavily on an athletics department seeking to minimize risks after years of dwindling football attendance and a recent NCAA investigation. Regardless of the consequences, however, UH needs to come to a decision soon. They owe it to the fans, they owe it to the players and they owe it to Taylor, all of whom have put up with more of M̄anoa’s mismanagement of its athletics for far too long. What do you think?

Gone so Clune The departure of Kevin Clune and what he did for the program DAVID MCCRACKEN ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

After one year with the Rainbow Warrior football team, Kevin Clune is leaving the program to become the defensive coordinator at Utah State. Clune, in his one season as defensive coordinator for the Warriors, changed the culture of the program on the defensive side of the ball. Changes began back in April during spring football practices. As players struggled to get back into game shape, Clune revamped UH’s defense, changing the scheme from a 4-3 to a 3-4 defensive front. Clune held his players accountable, not allowing any player to take a break on any given play. Competition became a necessity; scholarship player or walk-on, it didn’t matter to Clune. The expectation was to win football games, something that has come sparsely during head coach Norm Chow’s tenure with the program. With Clune in charge of the defense, however, winning became a possibility in 2014 when one of Hawai‘i’s historical weaknesses became its strength. Clune’s defense held opponents to 12 less touchdowns than it did in 2013. Hawai‘i’s defense also improved by allowing 12.0 points per game less under Clune than it

had done in 2013. Even in games that were lost, praise was given to the defense for its ﬁght and grit, especially in the season opener against No. 25 Washington where the Warriors narrowly lost 17-16. Overall, Hawai‘i improved to a 4-9 record last season compared to the 1-11 record in 2013. There was much scrutiny entering this offseason concerning the status of Chow and if he would be ﬁred or not, but losing Clune wasn’t an expectation. The news of

The news of his departure was a blindside hit to the program, as the team must once again search for a new leader. his departure was a blindside hit to the program, as the team must once again search for a new leader on the defensive side of the ball. Clune will return to his old stomping ground of Utah State, where he served as the linebackers coach for ﬁve years prior to his time in Hawai‘i. In a way, Hawai‘ i is not saying goodbye to Clune as Utah State is a part of the Mountain West Conference, so it possible that UH will face off against the Aggies next season. Perhaps the more disturbing note of Clune’s departure

Rainbow Wahine battle through tough start to 2015 JEREMY NITTA ASSOCIATE WEB EDITOR

The Rainbow Wahine tennis team’s start to 2015 was not an easy one as they opened with matches against three nationally ranked opponents, No. 2 Duke, No. 7 California, and No. 29 Kentucky. After losing the ﬁrst two against California and Duke, Hawai‘i was able to prevail against the Wildcats, knocking off Kentucky With the match tied at three wins each, junior Paulina Petriskova came through for the Rainbow Wahine, knocking off Kentucky’s Edmee Morin-Kougoucheff 7-6 (4), 4-6, 6-4 to clinch the win for Hawai‘i. The ‘Bows got off to a poor start

is that UH is once again left with the reality of losing yet another talented defensive coach to a bigger program, as seen when the Warriors lost Dave Aranda to Wisconsin when Chow took over. According to the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, Clune has agreed to a two-year contract with the Aggies worth an estimated $200,000 annually. At UH, Clune was paid an annual salary of $160,000 on a twoyear contract with a mutual option for a second year.

against Kentucky, losing the doubles point after Kentucky took three of the first four matches to clinch the point. Things continued to go badly when singles play began, dropping two of the first three matches to be pushed against the brink of defeat in the first-to-four wins dual match. But with their backs against the wall, the ‘Bows were able to finally turn things around. Senior Martina Kostalova got the turnaround started in the No. 3 singles match, fending off Kentucky’s Mami Adachi in three sets. After breezing through the first set 6-2, Kostalova dropped a tight second set tiebreaker. But

Clune is departing alongside Daronte Jones, who is leaving an assistant coach position with the Warriors to coach the secondary at Wisconsin. Amid the uncertainty and instability of UH athletics and its struggling football program, Hawai‘ i is now left even more dazed and confused than it was at season’s end.

the ‘Bows’ captain regained composure to cruise to victory in the final set, 6-1. On the No. 1 singles court, sophomore Cindy Nguyen was engaged in a nail-biting first two sets against Kentucky’s Nadia Ravita. The two split the first sets in a pair of tiebreakers, with Nguyen taking the first and Ravita claiming the second. But like Kostalova, Nguyen dominated the final set, coming away with a 6-0 win. More importantly, Nguyen’s win tied the dual match at three wins apiece.

tational in Lahaina, Maui. The invitational featured a pair of top-10 teams in No. 2 Duke and No. 7 California. The top-ranked teams lived up to their billing in the tournament, handily defeating the Rainbow Wahine on all three days of play. On day one, the ‘Bows were only able to claim two victories out of 18 matches played. The doubles pair of junior Paulina Petriskova and freshman Viktoria Malova earned a comeback victory over Cal’s Karla Popovic and Stephanie Lin, 6-4. The duo fell behind early 3-0, before storming

With the victory on the line, Petriskova came through in the clutch, fending off MorinKougoucheff to seal the victory. That left things in the hands of Petriskova on the No. 5 court. Petriskova battled through a ﬁrst set tiebreaker for an early lead, but was unable to hold the momentum, dropping the second set. With the victory on the line, Petriskova came through in the clutch, fending off Morin-Kougoucheff to seal the victory. The Rainbow Wahine opened 2015 in the Rainbow Wahine Spring Invi-

back to win six of the next seven games. In singles, senior Martina Kostalova picked up Hawai‘i’s lone singles victory, knocking off Lyann Hoang 7-6 (4), 6-2. But the Rainbow Wahine were unable to come close in any other doubles matches on day one. Sophomore Cindy Nguyen and junior Sarah Gealer came close in their singles matches, but neither was able to prevail.

Hawai‘ i fared no better on the second day of the tournament, as they failed to win any of their matches in both singles and doubles. After dropping all three doubles matches, the ‘Bows had opportunities to win a pair of singles matches, as Nguyen and freshman Klára Pribylová each pushed their matches to three sets. But after claiming the first set, Nguyen was unable to fend off Duke’s Ester Goldfield, who came in ranked 87th nationally in singles. Pribylová’s match fared the same, as she dropped the final two sets to Cal’s Hoang. Things got worse on the final day of the tournament. Once again, Hawai‘i was unable to claim victory in any of their matches. The Rainbow Wahine were dominated in doubles play against Cal, as they were shut out in two of the three matches played. In singles, Hawai‘i’s luck wasn’t much better. None of the ‘Bows were able to take a set off their opponents. The closest any player came was in senior Rebecca Falusz’s match, where she forced a second set tiebreaker against Cal’s Lin, but was unable to prevail. What do you think? Let us know @KaLeoSports
