Turtle paraphernalia sparks fire at Frear Hall

Just hanging out

At 12:26 p.m., a fire alarm was activated at Frear Hall. The cause: a heat lamp caused some objects in a pet turtle’s cage to overheat and smolder. The turtle wasn’t harmed.

SUNDAY, MARCH 1

At 9:33 p.m., campus security officers responded to an indecent exposure case at Campus Center. A man watching television at Campus Center had his genitals hanging out of his shorts. It appears he was not aware of it, and after campus security arrived the man remedied the situation.

Vehicles broken into at faculty housing Two vehicles were broken into at the Wa‘ahila Faculty Apartments.

One of the vehicles was a gray sedan, and someone went through the glove box, taking sunglasses and a spare key to the vehicle. The right side passenger window was broken. The second vehicle was a white sedan, and a duffle bag containing baby clothes was taken. The passenger side rear window was broken. The break-ins happened between 10 p.m. and midnight.

Men flee from campus security at Hale Aloha Lokelani At 4:39 p.m., campus security officers responded to reports of males possibly taking items from the Hale Aloha Lokelani bike rack. They fled the scene as officers arrived.

They stole it At 4:54 p.m., a male reported his skateboard taken near Frear Hall.

He was talking to two men he didn’t know before deciding to leave his skateboard with them. They said to come back and get his board, and the man responded by saying that it’s not like they were going to steal it. He left. When he came back, the men and the skateboard were gone.

Flier on fire At 11:23 p.m., a fire alarm was activated at Hale Aloha Lokelani.

It appears someone lit a bulletin board flier on fire. Charred paper remnants were found on the floor next to the bulletin board.

Finance committee to cut $72M from UH

Hanabusa to speak at Kuykendall

A panel will cut $72 million from the University of Hawai‘ i budget for the next fiscal year, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported.

The House Finance Committee’s draft of UH’s budget “ includes $369 million in general funds for the 10-campus system, a 16 percent decrease from the approximately $441 million the university had wanted,” according to the report.

The panel elected to give UH a lump sum. House Finance Chairwoman Sylvia Luke said the lump sum will allow UH for “a truer form of autonomy.”

“While this is a drastic change from the past, we will be working with the university to see if this provides better flexibility, as well as accountability, to work through its fiscal issues more effectively,” Luke said in a news release Wednesday.

According to the report, UH President David Lassner welcomed the lump sum but said the cut could hurt university operations.

“We will continue to advocate for the funding requested in the Board of Regents budget request, which will enable us to continue to provide affordable, comprehensive, high-quality public education on all islands,” Lassner said in the report.

Former Congresswoman Colleen Hanabusa will speak in Kuykendall Hall Thursday as part of a political science class.

The appearance, which will take place in Kuykendall 203 on March 19 from 12 noon to 1:15 p.m., is part of an introductory political science course being taught through UH’s Maui College. The speech will be open to the public.

A democrat, Hanabusa represented Hawai‘ i’s first congressional district from 2011 until earlier this year.

In August 2014, she narrowly lost a primary race for the seat formerly held by U.S. Sen. Daniel Inouye.

Before running for congress, she served in the state senate, rising to the presidency of that body in 2007.

ASUH reveals plans for sustainability mural The Associated Students of the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa (ASUH) last night introduced plans to fund a mural that would be painted on campus.

Sen. Ryan Mandado, introduced ASUH Senate Bill 47-15 at a general senate meeting, proposing to sponsor the painting of a mural in the sustainability courtyard, to be revealed on Earth Day, April 22.

“The mural ... will send a powerful and inspiring message to the many generations of students that would pass through,” Mandado said.

The proposed painting would depict a scene of renewable energy, recycling and the growth of edible foods. However, a sketch has not yet been drawn up.

“The mural is expected to last 40-50 years, and is meant to reflect UH’s ongoing efforts and potential ... to reach its goals of carbon net neutrality, zero waste, and local food self-sustainability,” Mandado said.

Mandado requested a total of $2,000 for painting services, and said a company would be hired to paint the mural. He said they have some companies in mind, but cannot announce names just yet.

Once the sketch is completed, it must be reviewed and approved by ASUH executives before any further action.

Accuser in UH Mānoa rape trial won’t testify in court A woman who is accusing a former UH Mānoa student of rape will not testify in court, according to a stipulation presented in Circuit Court Friday.

The defendant, Tyler Strong, 19, agreed on a stipulation that his accuser, a student of UH Mānoa at the time of the incident, will not appear in court to testify or be cross-examined by Strong’s lawyer. “[Tyler Strong] and the State agree that a certain witness doesn’t have to come to court testify,” Circuit Court judge Randal Lee said. “In lieu of the person actually coming to physically testifying, you agree to the testimony by way of an agreement.”

Under the same stipulation, penile and vocal swab samples from Strong were obtained by HPD on Sept.

21, 2014, and presented as evidence. Additionally, vaginal and vocal swabs samples from Strong’s accuser were obtained by a doctor at a sex abuse treatment center on the same date and will also appear as evidence.

In court Thursday, Strong’s lawyer Jeff Hawk said the sex was consensual, the accuser was drinking alcohol the night before and the victim reported the incident upon request from the her friend. “[She] went to Tyler’s room knowing full well what was going to happen. He had sent her a text saying, ‘Come over baby, I want to give it to you’, and she came. She came over in her underwear and a tiny little top at 5 a.m.,” Hawk said according to a Hawaii News Now report.

However, prosecutor Kristen Yamamoto said the 18-year-old accuser “expected some kissing and cuddling” and did not expect Strong to pin her.

“Even when [she] was telling him, ‘Please, just stop. No, I don’t want this.’ Crying. Trying to struggle and squirm away from him.” Yamamoto said. “She still can’t move.”

The trial will reconvene Monday in Circuit Court.

Earbuds a risk for hearing loss Improper use of earbuds may cause hearing loss for 1.1 billion young people, international report says NICOLE DAVIS SENIOR STAFF WRITER

The World Health Organization (WHO) released a statement that warned youth may be experiencing hearing loss through the improper usage of in or on-ear music speakers or ear buds.

About 1.1 billion teenagers and young adults are at risk, according to a WHO press release. The organization also found that 360 million people, or over five percent of the world have “disabling hearing loss” and about half of all cases could have been prevented.

WHO data also indicated nearly half of the teens and young adults aged 12-35 are exposed to unsafe levels of sound.

UH’S CLINIC

The University of Hawai‘i Speech and Hearing Clinic (UHSHC) collaborates with the University of Hawai‘i John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM), in performing research studies. According to its site, its mission is to “provid[e] speech, language, and hearing services to the

Hawai‘i community.”

The clinic on Ala Moana Blvd. utilizes multi-disciplinary methods and perspectives to provide diagnoses outpatient therapy for both children and adults. UHSHC provides services for screenings and treatments for prevention of hearing loss in the future.

At a safe dB a person can listen to his or her MP3 player for a maximum of one hour and 15 minutes a week. However, if one uses a MP3 at it’s maximum level, it exceeds the safe 100 dB, and should then only be listened to for no more than five minutes a week.

Hearing damage from noise exposure can be prevented – so turn down the volume or use proper hearing protection.

– EDSON HIROHATA AUDIOLOGY COORDINATOR AT UHSHC

Amy Lower, clinical manager of UHSHC, broke down the logistics of how people listen to earbuds.

An MP3 player at half volume is approximately 100 decibles (dB) sound pressure level (SPL) and a maximum weekly time limit would be one hour and 15 minutes. An MP3 player at full volume, however, is about 115 dB SPL. A recommended maximum weekly time

Dr. Edson Hirohata, assistant professor and audiology coordinator at UHSHC, said that additional exposure could permanently damage the ear.

Berenberg has practiced medicine in Hawai‘ i since 1983.

JACQUES BRUNVIL CONTRIBUTING WRITER

University of Hawai‘i Cancer Center professor Dr. Jeffrey Berenberg was recently honored with the 2015 American College of Physician Laureate Award in Hawai‘i.

The Laureate Award honors those Fellows of the American College of Physicians in the Hawai‘i Chapter who have demonstrated by their example and conduct an abiding commitment to excellence in medical care, education or research, and service to the community and the American College of Physicians.

This award is the most prestigious

honor bestowed to a chapter member at the local level.

“I was surprised because there were so many worthy people. I didn’t think I would be singled out,” Berenberg said. “I was surprised and honored ... particularly because some of the most distinguished physicians in Hawai‘ i have been recognized in the past.”

For over 30 years, Berenberg has been involved in clinical trials and data management, according to his profile on the UH Cancer Center website. At the age of 72, he is healthy and continues to work with his patients and students.

Berenberg also thanked his col-

leagues for their role in his winning the award.

“They’ve allowed me to work in a exceptional environment,” he said.

“We all work together and it’s really made me into the physician I am today.”

EFFORTS IN THE COMMUNITY

Berenberg serves as the medical director of the clinical and translational research services at Tripler Army Medical Center and is a professor at UH Mānoa with the Cancer Prevention Program.

He is the principal investigator for the Hawaii Minority-Based Community Cancer Program and

Hirohata said that damage to the hairs cell results in a type of hearing loss known as sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), which can be caused by aging or noise exposure.

“The effects of SNHL include inability to hear certain sounds and distortion of sounds (e.g. speech can sound unclear even if made louder).

Hearing loss from noise exposure can be prevented,” he said. “Hearing damage from noise can be prevented – so turn down the volume or use proper hearing protection.”

munications director, and the lack of information is alarming to some students.

“I find that when I’m working out, I turn my volume up to maximum levels. That must not be good for my hearing. They should definitely do some studies upon that to provide concrete statistical data that it really is a problem,” UH Mānoa student Traci Oba said.

STUDENT KNOW HOW

“I know that listening to my earbuds at high volumes are bad for my hearing but I don’t know how bad it is,” UH Mānoa student Victoria Camarista said. “I would really like to see the university conduct some studies to see the level of severity. And also I want to know what a safe volume is, and a safe time length too.”

The UH system is currently not conducting any studies, according to Tina Shelton, JABSOM com-

the Southwest Oncology Group.

Berenberg is also the director and chair of the Protocol Research Monitoring Committee along with moderator of the Clinical Research Advisory Board.

Berenberg aims to improve access to cancer clinical trials for underserved communities and health care delivery to cancer patients by utilizing advances in personalizing precision medicine.

“I want to expand my work with medical students and physicians in training to give them the opportunity to learn more about clinical trials, be involved in clinical research, and mentor them in those activities,” he said.

Before going into medicine and receiving his medical degree at the Boston University School of Medicine, Berenberg was drafted into the United States Army and served active duty under the Army Medical Corps for 30 years. He retired from active duty in 2010 with the rank of a colonel and continues to work with the Army as a civil-servant at Tripler Army Medical Center.

Associate Director of the Cancer Center and fellow professor, Dr. Brian Issell, described Berenberg as “an extraordinarily strong ally as co-worker, physician and friend in building the University of Hawai‘i’s contributions to the highest possible level of cancer care in our state.”

He said the two have worked together since 1988 and in that time,

many doctors specializing in cancer have been influenced by his career.

“His commitment to the continuing education of Hawai‘ i’s cancer care providers and the training of new physicians have been exemplary,” Issell said.

As a UH Mānoa professor, Berenberg works with students from all classes. Currently, he offers an elective for first-yearstudents on clinical trials and an elective for fourth-year students in hematology and medical oncology. As a graduate professor, he teaches clinical skills preceptor for firstyear medical students.

Originally from Brookline, Massachusetts, Berenberg has found home and happiness in Hawai‘ i by working diligently with patients, students and colleagues alike.

“I decided to stay in Hawai‘i because I really enjoyed working at Tripler. We are able to work closely with nurses, pharmacists, other physicians and physicians-in-training to provide highly advanced and compassionate care for our patients. I also have really enjoyed participating in teaching and clinical research at the University of Hawai‘i Cancer Center and medical school.”

During his free time, Berenberg enjoys traveling along with collecting Chinese yixing teapots and other ceramics.

UH website makes groundwater research public Data will help researchers manage fresh water KEVIN DENEEN SENIOR STAFF WRITER

A state audit from 2007 recommended that Noelani and Wainani apartments be demolished

KA LEO EXCLUSIVE

New dorms in the works Data will help researchers manage fresh water COURTNEY TEAGUE ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

New dormitories could be on the way for University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa students if early-stage plans developed by campus housing authorities are implemented.

Student Housing Director Mike Kaptik said that the program would “ideally [build] something new first” and then consider tearing down and replacing buildings in the Hale Wainani and Noelani complexes.

The area on lower campus near the pond and practice field — the “Quarry site” — is being considered along with land around Campus Center at Dole Street and University Avenue.

In total, the three projects would cost an estimated $268 million that would be funded by Student Housing Services and not out of tuition.

Student Housing also hopes to expand parking availability by expanding the current lot near Hale Noelani and building a new structure near the corner of Dole Street and University Avenue. The program estimates the new structure would cost around $22 million.

In a statement, Kaptik stressed that the projects are in early stages and housing must seek feedback from multiple parties, including administration, before the office can move forward with anything.

“We are very early in the process and there is no time table at this point,” he said. “We will work very diligently to move the idea of new and renovated housing further.”

Eventually, when the program is able to begin working out the specifics of their design plans, they intend to look into water and energy-efficient options for new complexes.

Though Kaptik said it was unlikely that so many beds would ultimately end up being built, the current plans could accommodate up to 2,873 students. Still, if there were demand, he said there could be room for growth to add beds to make accommodations for additional students.

DOLE/UNIVERSITY SITE

By building dorms nearer to the heart of campus, Kaptik hopes to create “more of a living and learning environment” to better integrate residential housing with the campus community so that the area “feels more alive 24/7.”

He said the lower levels of the building would be unoccupied by students and would feature rooms that could serve as classrooms, study rooms, or even food stores.

“One thing I noticed is that more students in the apartments are on a meal plan,” Kaptik said.

For this reason, food stores would likely cater to students on a meal plan. He said sub sandwich, pizza or even burger restaurants have been tossed around as ideas to fill space in the lower levels of dormitories.

Student Housing also may use one of the buildings they hope to build at the site for graduate students and families.

UPDATES TO HALE NOELANI AND WAINANI

The renovated complexes would be farther away from the Mānoa stream and would feature both mid and low-rise buildings.

“We believe they are approaching the end of their lifecycle and we would like to replace a significant portion of the complexes,” Kaptik said of the complexes, which were

built in the late 1970s.

As an additional measure of security for students on the lower floors, Student Housing is looking into methods such as key-activated doors or elevators to make front doors less accessible than they are currently.

Student Housing will seek feedback from students in order to determine the style of suite, and numbers of bathrooms and kitchens each room will have.

QUARRY SITE

The lower campus structure would have an entrance off of the Hale Aloha Courtyard. Currently, the mock-up features a top-floor lobby and is built “upside-down” with living spaces on the lower floors, according to Kaptik.

To address safety concerns, he said the area near the field would feature better lighting.

SEEKING FEEDBACK

At an ASUH general senate meeting on March 4, Kaptik presented dorm plans for feedback. Through the planning process, Student Housing plans to seek feedback from other students and groups such as the Graduate Student Organization (GSO) and stressed that many conversations would still have to occur with administration before any details would be finalized.

When they are ready to seek opinion from residents, Kaptik said Student Housing will reach out to students.

During his meeting with ASUH, Kaptik said Student Housing has spent nearly $140 million on residential buildings since 2007.

Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

The Hawai‘i Institute for Geophysics and Planetology has developed a website to make data on groundwater and geothermal resources accessible to the public.

The objective for the website is to bring together UH research with data on groundwater and geothermal resources that is collected by the Hawai‘i Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) and Department of Health (DOH), University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Geochemist Donald Thomas said.

According to Thomas, groundwater data goes back 100 years or more and is not very accessible to the public. The website formats the past and current data that is more easily accessible for people who want to learn more about geothermal resources.

“Ultimately what we would really like is to have a system were people can go in and understand more about the groundwater system,” Thomas said.

He added the first phase of the Hawai‘i Groundwater and Geothermal Resource Center (HGGRC) website is to analyze the data to see how sources of groundwater have changed over time due to climate change or urban development and how they should be managed in the future.

Both the data and information on the website have been generated by Hawai‘ i Institute of Geophysics and Planetology scientists since 2010.

The HGGRC website provides searchable map displays that show what is to come for groundwater and geothermal energy data.

HUMU‘ULA GROUNDWATER RESEARCH PROJECT

One project connected to the website, the Humu‘ula Groundwater Research Project, focuses on researching the groundwater resources on Hawai‘i Island.

The project’s researchers will drill two holes on the grounds of the Pōhakuloa Training Area (PTA), in the center of the island, to depths of 6000 to 6500 feet from the surface. The goal is to reach the point where the fresh groundwater and the ocean’s salt water meet and take rock core samples for future scientific study.

The research also helps the mil-

itary evaluate whether the water table underneath PTA is enough to support facilities there.

The drilling of the Humu‘ula project is funded by the United States Army and the National Science Foundation.

PEARL HARBOR AQUIFER

Another important source of groundwater that the website tracks is the Pearl Harbor aquifer. The layer of porous rock that collects water is one of the major sources of water for O‘ahu, providing 100 million gallons of fresh water per day.

Changes in the chemical content of the aquifer are trackable on the website. For example, the salinity of water pumped by some wells in the eastern section of the Pearl Harbor aquifer has risen in recent years.

USGS states it is important to understand how much fresh groundwater in the Pearl Harbor aquifer can be developed for future needs.

THE FUTURE

“It will take us many years to be at a point to have a full understanding of the groundwater system,” Thomas said.

According to Thomas, ultimately, the goal is to ensure that everyone in Hawai‘i has adequate drinking water and that future generations in the state will have clean drinking water. Thomas added that by understanding the groundwater system, more people will understand how urban development can affect them.

Understanding how water is stored and flows in the ground allows scientists to plan for emergencies that could affect the water source, such as a chemical spill.

“We have the urban environment of Honolulu with the potential for contamination and we don’t really know where a containment spill will occur,” Thomas said.

18 is the new 21

Don’t lower the legal drinking age

Change will reduce binge drinking, fake ID-related crimes SOURCE: ISTOCK 

In 2011, 20 percent of Hawai‘ i’s high school students drank alcohol before age 13 “for the first time,” according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

LYNN NGUYEN STAFF WRITER

A beer may seem like the perfect way to unwind after a stressful week, or day, of school. However, as Hawai‘i’s legal drinking age is 21, many college students, often averaging between 18 and 22 years old, are unable to enjoy these beverages legally. Although many people believe that the drinking age should be lowered to 18, the law should not be changed, and the drinking age should be kept at 21.

BRAIN DEVELOPMENT

Underage drinking negatively affects the brain. The brain doesn’t fully mature until one is in his or her early to mid-20s, according to Addiction Info. Consuming alcohol under the age of 21 hinders the development of the teenager’s frontal lobe. The frontal lobe has many important functions such as emotional regulation, planning and organizing. Underage drinking interferes with the frontal lobe’s regular development, which may lead to higher likelihoods of alcoholism, greater chances of risk-taking, decreased decision-making abilities and depression, Addiction Info said.

According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), “the effects of repeated alcohol consumption during adolescence may also be long-lasting. Studies in humans have detected cognitive impairments in adolescent alcohol users weeks after they stopped drinking and a different pattern of brain response to tests of memory than among non-abusers.”

Underage drinking also has detrimental effects on academics.

Several sources reported higher likelihood of poor grades.

BUT EUROPE DOES IT

Many argue that the citizens of European countries are doing fine despite having a lower legal drinking age than America. In fact, many believe that the high legal drinking age in America is the cause of binge drinking, claiming that it is the “mystery of alcohol” that drives curious teenagers to drink. Besides, other countries with a lower drinking age don’t seem to have any more drunk driving incidents or alcohol poisoning cases than America.

However, a higher drinking age of 21 does seem to play a significant role in protecting teenagers from dangerous situations. When the U.S. raised the national legal drinking age to 21 in 1984, alcohol-related car accidents and teenage drinking decreased, according to a study by William DeJong and Jason Blanchett. New Zealand lowered its alcohol purchase age in 1999 from 20 to 18, causing a spike in drunk driving accidents among teenagers, the study said. Rather than preventing underage drinking, lowering the drinking age resulted in more damage.

PROGRAMS AT UH MĀNOA

Although approximately four out of every five students in college drink alcohol, according to NIAAA, students need to be better informed about the dangers that can occur as a result of drinking. The University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa offers programs to help educate students about the consequences of alcohol, one of which is the Brief Alcohol Screening & Intervention for College Students (BASICS) program. Students may also get counseling at the Queen Lili‘uokalani Center (QLC).

Because of the many negative effects of underage drinking, despite popular opinion, the drinking age should not be lowered to 18.

ROMAN KALINOWSKI SENIOR STAFF WRITER

The United States remains one of 11 countries where an 18-year-old cannot legally purchase, consume or possess alcohol in public. In an effort to combat binge drinking and catch up with the laws of the rest of the world, America needs to lower the minimum drinking age from 18 to 21.

HISTORY OF THE LAW

Desperately needing more recruits to win both fronts of World War II, President Franklin D. Roosevelt lowered the military draft age to 18 from 21, also traditionally the minimum voting age. The slogan “old enough to fight, old enough to vote” quickly became popular among 18 to 20-yearolds. The youth voting rights cam-

Binge drinking is less prevalent among 18 to 20-year-olds in countries with relaxed attitudes toward alcohol. paign took off in the 1960s, as young people being drafted to fight in Vietnam had no control over their destiny because they couldn’t vote for different politicians or political views.

In 1971, the 26th Amendment to the Constitution was ratified by the states and signed into law by President Nixon.

At this point, 18-year-olds could not drink alcohol but could legally go to war and vote, and many states lowered age restrictions on alcohol to age 18.

AT HOME AND ABROAD

By 1984, campaigns by groups such as Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) were finally successful in their efforts to raise the drinking age to 21. To induce the states to comply with 21 as the new legal minimum drinking age, the federal government threatened to withhold highway funds to those states still serving 18-year-olds. While MADD cited an increase in driving fatalities among teens between 1971 and 1981, it is difficult to tell if the relationship is causal or coincidental.

Alcohol is a regular part of life in most countries around the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) reported that 12 years is the world average age for first consumption of alcohol, while 80 percent of 15-year-olds worldwide regularly consume alcoholic beverages, according to Potsdam.

Parents in Europe and elsewhere expose their children to small amounts of wine on holidays from a young age, which demystifies the substance. As a result, binge drinking and associated ills, such as alcohol poisoning, drunk driving and date rape, are significantly less prevalent per capita among 18 to 20-year-olds in countries with relaxed attitudes toward alcohol than to the United States.

FAKE IT ‘TIL YOU MAKE IT

With the growth of the Internet over the past decade, fake IDs have become easier to make and purchase online. What was once exclusively an American college dorm room industry has largely been outsourced to China, with over 1,700 fake IDs intercepted by U.S. Customs in the first half of 2011, compared to 10 in the previous year.

Recent advances in photo-editing software, mobile cameras,

anonymous Internet capabilities and printing technology have cut manufacturing time from several hours per ID to under 20 minutes.

Eighteen to 20-year-olds purchase majority of fake IDs because they can look the part; however, some 16 and 17-year-olds attempt to for the alcohol and nightlife.

A new ID costs anywhere from $80 to $300, depending on group discounts, with $150 on average.

Domestic producers of fake IDs get raw supplies, such as state-specific holograms from Chinese factories and use sites like Reddit and Instagram to show off their recent work and reviews, according to Business Insider. Reddit has a page specifically dedicated to making, selling and buying false identification. The IDs are shipped to customers using standard post, often hidden inside cheap paintings, manuals, shoes or other small items.

Fake IDs can also be found on dark websites, which protect the anonymity of the source, like Silk Road 2.0 and its many spinoffs. More expensive US, UK and EU passports are also available on these dark sites from $1,200 to $2,500.

ID THEFT

If a criminal has someone’s credit or debit card and personal information, they can assume their identity using a fake ID and proceed to withdraw all of the money in the victim’s bank account. Criminals can also open new credit cards with stolen information and proceed to accumulate charges. Thankfully, consumers are not liable to their credit card companies or banks for the majority of fraudulent charges, as long as they are quickly noticed.

Lowering the drinking age to 18 can only benefit the youth of America and society as a whole.

UH missing mark on sustainability Despite Sustainable UH’s committment to spreading awareness about wasting resources, the group needs to reevaluate what it is actually doing make the university more sustainable.

At a meeting with the Associated Students of the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa (ASUH) on March 11, Sustainable UH requested a resolution calling for a $2,000 mural featuring renewable resource use to be painted in the Sustainability Courtyard.

The mural, Sen. Ryan Mandado said, would “send a powerful and inspiring message” to students in years to come.

However, aren’t there more powerful and inspiring things that could be done in the name of sustainability with such a sum?

Although a senate bill that would have appropriated around $500,000 for the creation of a UH sustainability office died, a formal office might not be necessary. A much cheaper and simpler solution might be to begin making obvious changes around the Mānoa campus.

Every day, students trudge through muddy pools created by overzealous sprinklers, take a midday stroll through a Campus Center building with many lights on or shiver in classrooms with polar air conditioning.

Is it possible that the members of Sustainable UH aren’t aware of these issues?

Little things adding up to unnecessary financial and environmental burdens ought to take priority over largely symbolic gestures such as fussing about immediate divestment from fossil fuels, a painting or creating an office when a group already exists.

As representatives of the flagship campus of a state known for its environmental and renewable resource efforts, it seems ironic that Sustainable UH has been unable to make more changes on campus.

Cronyism in Hawai‘ i’s politics Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard appoints old friend to Chief of Staff PAVEL STANKOV ASSOCIATE OPINIONS EDITOR

At the end of February, Hawai‘ i congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard appointed her third Chief of Staff, politically inexperienced Kainoa Penaroza. This dangerous act of cronyism may bring negative consequences to local politics. It opens the door to abuse of power, misrepresents Hawai‘i and signifies an alarming departure from separation of religion from government.

The qualifications of 30-yearold Penaroza are not impressive, considering his position as second-in-command to a U.S. House Representative. He volunteered for Gabbard’s successful bid for the State House in 2002 and worked as a coordinator in her recent campaigns – for the city council in 2010 and the congressional seat in 2012 and 2014. Penaroza’s LinkedIn profile also listed experience as health-food business sales manager and founding and owning a Kailua-based clothing company.

Penaroza’s hire came months after the departure of previous Chief of Staff Jessica Vanden Berg, which suggests it was not a spontaneous decision. However, the reason he was hired is in question: Penaroza and Gabbard grew up in the Science of Identity Foundation (SIF) community, an outgrowth of the Hare Krishna movement.

BAD PRECEDENT

Penaroza’s appointment is neither the first nor the only instance of favoritism in local politics, but it’s the most flagrant case in recent history.

Cronyism is a brand of favoritism defined as “partiality towards friends and associates.” Gabbard’s decision signifies that it’s acceptable to have longtime friends as official advisers regardless of their actual expertise. In politics, this is a recipe for disaster.

As chief of staff, Penaroza is a gateway, a confidante, a main adviser and a behind-the-scenes deputy to the congressperson.

It helps if the chief of staff has a record of successful campaigns and political management.

Chief of staff is usually a position which one has to gradually advance to. Compare Penaroza with Gabbard’s previous Chief of Staff Berg, who was senior adviser to Sen. Jim Webb, D-Virginia, or Mark Takai’s chief adviser Rod Tanonaka, whom

Takai inherited from predecessor Colleen Hanabusa.

With a large responsibility comes a large paycheck. According to analysis by the Sunlight Foundation, the average annual salary for the position five years ago was $136,920.

Many people in Hawai‘ i and Washington, D.C., would do well in Penaroza’s place. Gabbard seems to have traded experience for loyalty, despite that hiring a figurehead does away with the checks and balances of a transparent democratic system.

HAWAII AIR NATIONAL GUARD / FLICKR 

Gabbard was elected for the first time in 2012.

REPRESENTING HAWAI‘I

ULTERIOR MOTIVE

Politicians have to be mindful of the image they create for their districts. It’s true that Hawai‘ i is a small community, and personal relationships are crucial. However, this doesn’t mean we can’t find the right balance between sincerity and professionalism.

A longtime friendship is hard to ignore, and, provided both parties are prepared to do their job, it may strengthen them as a team. However, for that to happen, their skills should complement each other.

There is no indication that anything similar can happen because

“Kainoa brings to the office a unique, down-to-earth and resultsdriven style of leadership,” Gabbard said in her administration’s press release, the only official comment on Penaroza’s appointment.

Down to Earth is also the business venture most closely related to the environmentally friendly Gabbard dynasty. The vegetarian store chain is among the most generous donors to both Mike’s and Tulsi Gabbard’s campaigns and is run by the SIF community.

The organization has had long-standing aspirations to pro-

– BART DAME LIBERAL COMMENTATOR

of Penaroza’s lack of experience.

“He’s not in [Gabbard’s] league,” said Tim Lussier, former Communications Director of Charles Djou For Congress, calling the decision “the biggest blunder of her career.”

Lussier also pointed out that both Gabbard and Penaroza have refused to appear publicly and discuss the appointment. This defensiveness adds to the overall bad first impression. “[Gabbard] should be able to proudly show off her new team leader,” Lussier said. “Instead she ducked the media and refused to answer questions about him.”

Pretending as though the appointment hasn’t happened offends the intelligence of Hawai‘i’s voters. It’s also uncharacteristic of Gabbard’s nationally recognizable profile: The congresswoman is a frequent guest of political talk shows from Fox News to MSNBC, and keeping silent on her most important staff member makes us think there’s something wrong.

mote its members to political office. Shortly after its inception in the 1970s, SIF incorporated the political party Independents for Godly Government. Kainoa’s father Bill Penaroza was its state chairman and ran for Tulsi Gabbard’s current position — Hawai‘i’s second congressional district — against Daniel Akaka in 1976.

SIFs has advanced successful candidates like Maui State Sen. Rick Reed, Maui councilman Wayne Nishiki and State Sen. Mike Gabbard himself, whose anti-LGBT views aligned closely with the movement’s ideology.

Bart Dame, liberal commentator and acquaintance of SIF founder Chris Butler before he refashioned himself as Jagad Guru, is especially worried about the intensity of allegiance to the sect.

“Tulsi had a very unusual upbringing in a very tight-knit network of people who shared an unusual perception of the outside world,” Dame said. “The fact [that

Gabbard] feels it is important that she have someone who shares that secretive background instead of someone with professional qualifications indicates one way in which her affiliation with the cult is undercutting her ability to serve her constituents competently. She is elevating personal loyalty above professional competence.”

While Tulsi Gabbard’s official story is that she is a Vaishnava Hindu, at least one Indian source attributed her allegiance to Butler. Dame pointed out that Gabbard revealed her Hindu identity, albeit in the more “orthodox” Vaishnava tradition, only after winning the Democratic primary in 2012, facing the sure victory against homeless Republican candidate Kawika Crowley.

Penaroza’s hire is a red flag that a religious group is exerting powerful influence on Hawai‘ i’s politics and our representation at the capitol. Separation of religion from government is woven into the fabric of American politics, and the push for representation from the religious circles around Chris Butler is alarming.

GABBARD’S DECISION?

One counterargument would be that Penaroza was hired at Gabbard’s discretion, and if he fails at his job, people will vote against the congresswoman. This, however, would be an expensive mistake. The responsibility of any elected politician is to do what is in the best interest of the people. Friendships should not trump allegiance to the common good. If we can’t restore people’s trust in a merit-based government, how can we begin to address social justice?

ILLUSTRATION BY LAUREN TABOR / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

There is always one complaint everyone has on the tip of their tongues before spring break: “I can’t fly home – the amount of money I’m spending for a week isn’t even worth it.” However, there are ways to getting around paying that four-digit price tag.

Studies show that flying on Tuesdays can also be the best day to fly for less. Of course, Fridays and Sundays are more expensive to travel on.

What day to buy:

What time to fly: It’s a bit of a sacrifice, but flying the red-eye will definitely shave off a fair amount of your ticket price.

Catch that 4 a.m. flight and drink some ZzzQuil – it’ll be fine. Other flight times that are often priced lower are flights at lunchtime or dinner. You might have to deal with an overnight layover, but in the end it’ll all be worth it when you’re back in your own comfy bed and not the dorm’s version of one.

Honolulu International Airport to Los Angeles International Airport Nonstop, $645 

Many major cities have a smaller, secondary airport. It’s the airport that many of the cheap budget airlines fly into because

As students, we have a huge advantage with airfare. Sites like STA Travel and StudentUniverse often have deals with airlines to offer cheaper tickets. I once bought a ticket from England to California for only $800 for Christmas Eve that left at 6 a.m. and arrived in California at 9 a.m. – not too shabby. We also have the typical websites to use like Expedia, Kayak and Travelocity. Kayak offers a great app called “Explore Tool” which allows it to view the airport you choose and see which routes have the cheapest fares.

Google Flights also has a similar feature that you can use through your search bar. International sites like Skyscanner or Momondo will also help booking cheaper flights.



How to fly:

Sites to use:



Airlines typically announce their deals on Monday evenings (also the most expensive day to buy tickets), so by the time 3 p.m. rolls around on Tuesday, all the airlines are scrambling to match the deals of competitors. Sometimes, calling the airline and talking to a ticket agent can also get the price reduced.

Sunday is also one of the best days to buy airfare. According to a Texas A&M University study, weekends are the best time to book airline tickets. This is due to airlines lowering their fares to attract leisure travelers. Prices to locations like Las Vegas, where people visit all days of the week, don’t often change much throughout the week.

Which day to fly:

smaller airports charge smaller fees. If you’re trying to fly to Los Angeles, instead of flying to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), fly into Long Beach.

Trying an alternative route can help as well. While on the way to a foreign country, sometimes stopping in another can help save you big bucks rather than flying direct.

Another tip when purchasing plane tickets is to include more than one stop. This can be a little inconvenient, especially with a carry-on, but it often makes your plane ticket significantly cheaper.

The airline you fly with will also be a huge factor in how much you’re paying. In Europe, companies like Ryanair and EasyJet are widely known as the least expensive way to fly intercontinental and intra-European. In the states, our budget airlines are primarily limited to JetBlue Airways, Frontier and Spirit Airlines, which don’t fly to the islands. In Asia, Air Asia had a huge drop in fares so you could buy round-trip tickets from Beijing to Melbourne for $341 and Kuala Lumpur to Ho Chi Minh City from only $29.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Dear Reader, Ah, yes – the spring. This is the season of flowers, midterms and allergies. The season we barely recognize as a season, just like all of the others, because we live in Hawai‘i. However, there is one thing that stands out in the spring, especially for college students utterly drained of hope and ambition – spring break.

Summer is close, but never close enough, like a carrot dangled in front of an exam-laden donkey. This mini-vacation is a blissful skylight in the awful tunnel of spring semester.

Alright, enough of the depressing similes; I know why you’re really here. You’re bogged down with the last stretch of school and you haven’t gotten a chance to plan what you’ll be doing for those nine glorious days. Don’t worry – we’ll take care of you. Within this gorgeous issue of Ka Leo, there are numerous articles that will help you decide what to do next week.

Peruse our pages both in print and online and all of your spring break related concerns will disappear (unlike your ALEX BITTER / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I  course load).

For those of you interested in traveling during your vacation, there are a number of handy articles. “Outer Island Odyssey,” is useful for those wanting to explore away from O‘ahu, while “Spring Break Getaways” will prove beneficial to those wanting to venture beyond the state. For those staying on the island, “Beach a Day” will give you ideas for O‘ahu adventures. If you feel like expanding your mind a little, learn about the history of spring break in, “The History of Spring Break,” or discover some new books to read with, “Best of the Books.”

We also provide articles on sports to try, events to attend, suggestions for cramming homework into the first and last days of break, and several fabulous playlists for a variety of settings.

Spring break is almost upon us, dear reader. I hope that this guide will be of assistance to you as you scheme adventures or strategize the maximum amount of sleep and Netflix you can squeeze into a week. The semester is long and hard, and there is still more to come. Even if you have plenty of work to finish over break, do take some time to recharge yourself during this oh-so-glorious week. You deserve it.

headquarters, and what started as a crowd of roughly 15,000 students, soared upwards to 370,000 over the next 20 years. Thanks to the efforts of a lone professor, spring break gradually turned into the party animal we know it to be today.

THE HISTORY OF SPRING BREAK

Response

Who is responsible for making spring breakers into party animals?

KEONI ERICKSON / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

Waikīkī has been a popular party destination since the first resorts and tourist attractions were constructed there at the beginning of the 20th century.

KEON DIEGO STAFF WRITER

Once a year the season of rebirth occurs. Along with the blooming flowers and melting ice, students are rewarded with a mid-semester calm, a period of rejuvenation – spring break. This cultural phenomenon is widely welcomed as the slow trek towards summer continues; it is essentially a taste of what is to come. A spirit of lively renewal is often the theme that accompanies spring break’s image of stretching beaches, road trips and wild parties.

This is how it has come to be known, but what of the tradition’s origins?

Early days Spring break and its humble beginnings can be traced back as early as the 19th century when wealthy college students would venture to the coast seeking refuge from their enduring academic lives. The idea of traveling became embedded in spring break culture as the next century rolled in with the invention of cars, and thus the birth of the “road trip.”

The next crucial point in spring break’s history occurs in 1928, in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, where the state’s first Olympic-sized pool was built.

Because of the significant damage done to the city by a hurricane and the growing popularity of competi-

tive swimming, the Casino pool’s construction was meant to attract visitors.

In 1935, Colgate University’s swimming coach Sam Ingram saw an opportunity to whip his athletes into shape after the winter holidays and utilized the Casino pool to do just that. The local businesses sensed a potential for revenue from these trips, rightfully so, because within the next two years, the College Coaches’ Swim Forum was formed.

This conference hosted hundreds of swimmers and coaches from across the country, along with their friends who tagged along.

This annual trip to the sunny shores of Ft. Lauderdale continued into the 1950s.

Trending As the story goes, Glendon Swarthout, an English professor at Michigan State University, joined the throngs of students southbound, where he found the inspiration to write “Where the Boys Are”. This comingof-age novel, eventually adapted into a movie, told the tale of four midwestern students travelling to Ft. Lauderdale for spring break. The impact of Swarthout’s 1960 novel forever changed the tradition of spring break, transforming it into an American rite of passage for college students and further solidifying it as a cultural phenomenon.

Southern Florida from then on became known as spring break

Spring break is here, which means that you don’t have to worry about waking up early or finishing your essays. But wait, you have nothing planned and you don’t want to stay

Do you love listening to the symphony?

Great! Are you interested in Cirque du Soleil? Even better. We have just the right performance for you to attend. Cirque de la Symphonie is a two-in-one production where audiences can enjoy cirque perform to live music by Hawaii Symphony Orchestra. Cirque de la Symphonie has been touring all over the U.S. and is finally making its way to Hawai‘i in March.

Tickets are normally sold for $27, but students can buy tickets for $13 the week of the performance at the Hawaii Symphony Orchestra office.

Here’s an event for all you foodies out there: Eat the Street. Eat the Street happens every last Friday of the month and features 40 food trucks and vendors in Kaka‘ako. For March, Eat the Street will be centered around Japan and one of Hawai‘ i’s favorite foods – musubi. Look around at all the food trucks and see the unique and different takes that each vendor has for Japanese food.

One of Hawai‘ i’s biggest events on O‘ahu is Kawaii Kon, a three-day anime convention for Japanese animation and manga fans. Kawaii Kon started back in 2005 and is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. If you love anime and manga, this is the perfect place for you to go. Kawaii Kon is best known for cosplayers (costume players) and die-hard anime fans. These cosplayers prepare all year long to create their costumes for this big event. If you decide to step foot into this anime convention, be sure to keep an eye out for the elaborate and amazing costumes. You might run into your favorite anime character.

The less desirable aspects of spring break began to emerge in the 1970s, as partying became an untamed affair. The surrounding communities hosting the herds of students grew a sensitive awareness to their rampant behavior. Themes of alcohol, sex and the free nature of adolescence plagued the local beaches and hotels. Soon enough, these locations fell victim to the spring breaker madness and commonly suffered property damage. So much so that by the 1980s, laws were enacted with the intention of calming the tempest of college parties – like “The National Minimum Drinking Age Act.” Cities eventually shied away from wanting to be known as the “spring break capital” because of the troubling aspects tied to them. This label was passed around in a hot-potato fashion so that Florida is now home to many different spring break hotspots including Daytona Beach, Panama City, Key West and Miami South Beach.

Spring break is holy to the college student, whether to catch up on sleep or to make the pilgrimage south; it is highlighted and triple-underlined in every student’s calendar.

You’ll have to watch the show at Diamond Head Theater to find out the rest of the story.

Finishing spring break homework in two days It’s time to keep that promise to yourself – finish your homework early this break.

AIKO MURAKAMI STAFF WRITER

SHANEIKA AGUILAR / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

Spring Break procrastination tips ANDREW BAKER STAFF WRITER

Great job champ, you’ve done it now. It’s the end of spring break and you have done none of the homework assigned to you. It’s Sunday night and you’ve got just over 12 hours to get two essays and three handouts done. Now what? Panic? Cry? Give up? Not a chance. Here is your quick and dirty guide to getting your work done fast.

Prioritize Figure out what absolutely has to be done now and what can wait a bit. If you’ve got one paper worth 30 percent of your grade, and another worth five percent, work on the one weighted more first. Don’t spend all your time working on small stuff and ignoring the big important projects.

Stay organized A messy workplace will not help you concentrate. Eliminate outside distractions and clean up the area around you.

Arrange your notes and any other work materials you may need and focus on the task in front of you.

Take breaks You are not going to do yourself any favors by writing while tired or distracted. This doesn’t mean slack off and forget about work, it means take five minutes every half hour or so to recharge.

There is a trick that can help you focus called the Pomodoro Technique. Basically, you set a timer for 25 minutes and work nonstop during that time. When the timer rings, take a five minute break. This is called a pomodoro. Every three or four pomodoros, take a longer, 15-minute break. This helps keep you focused and on task without overworking yourself. If possible, get a mechanical timer because the constant ticking will serve as a reminder to stay focused.

Now that you’ve got these tools, it’s up to you to save yourself. Just remember to focus, work hard and maybe do your work earlier next time. Good luck!

With spring break almost upon us, there is no doubt professors will see this as a time to pile on the homework.

They think that vacations are meant to provide time for extra work when, in reality, they are missing the point of a vacation altogether. Unfortunately, this allocation of homework is not under our control, and the assignments are destined to come whether or not we want them or not. The good news is that spring break is a whole nine days long if you include weekends. If you devote just two out of the nine days to homework, you can be wild and free for the rest of break.

However, there is a problem. The average college student will not be able to concentrate well enough to completely finish his or her work in the first two days. In order to power through your homework early in the break, follow these tips.

The first day is a trap Many will fall into the “first day off” trap and never come back to do their work. Of course, it is a understandable instinct to think you can give yourself a break on the first day as a sort of celebration, but it is a trap.

Once you get a taste of that sweet freedom, it grabs you and never lets you go. Before you can blink, it will already be Sunday afternoon and you will not have completed a single minute of work. While you are in the studying mode, keep on going until all of your work is finished.

You have no friends … for a day Let your friends know about what you want to do. When they insist that you can at least take your first day off, refer to “The First Day is a Trap.”

Eventually, if your friends care about your academic success, they will leave you alone to study. Maybe they will even follow your example so you and your friends will all be able to freely do as you all please for the remainder of the break. Getting work done is much easier without constant distractions and invitations from your friends.

Improve the quality of your spring break “Finishing your work early for spring break allows you to fully enjoy yourself without feeling guilty about having fun while there’s still work that needs to be done. It also makes spring break more satisfying knowing that you worked hard to deserve that break,” said Kimberly Chun, a civil engineering major at UH. Spring break is a joyous time amidst the monotony of the spring semester, but you still have to complete your homework. Your break will improve tenfold without the constant nag of assignments in the back of your mind. Plan correctly, stay disciplined, and get all your work done quickly so your break can be filled with worry-free fun.

Make it and break it Create strict, periodic breaks for yourself. Allow yourself a specific amount of time each break and do not extend it. Use that timer app on your phone to allow yourself 30 minutes or so to browse the Internet, grab a snack or watch television. However, once it rings, head straight back to work.

Plan and execute You need to make a plan. You need to literally grab a piece of paper and write down a plan. Having that concrete, tangible schedule written out will encourage you to actually stick to what you intend to do.

Write out your plan in pen so there is no easy, markfree revising. As you steadily proceed with your plan, you can have the satisfaction of crossing completed projects off your schedule until nothing remains.

BEST FOR SNORKELING

This playlist won’t make you fall asleep, but it won’t make you get up and dance, either – it’s a nice middle ground. Hook your phone up to speakers and enjoy a playlist that can fill the silence at the beach while you and your friends are trying to relax after a rough week.

BEACH

DANIELLA REYES SENIOR STAFF WRITER

Life’s a beach, so why not spend your spring break on the sand?

Here are seven great beaches, each with their own fantastic appeal.

A DAY BEST FOR SWIMMING

WA I M E A B AY Located on the North Shore, this wide, clear bay is calm in the spring and summer, with a soft sandy bed that is perfect for swimming or just relaxing in the water. Get there early in the morning to grab a parking spot and make sure that Waimea River isn’t currently feeding into the bay – otherwise expect murky water and poor visibility.

O‘ahu’s reefs aren’t as healthy as those on the outer islands. However, Hanauma Bay, O‘ahu’s first Marine Life Conservation District is good because of the large amount of fish you’ll see, which are used to visitors. Otherwise, go to North Shore, where you can find Shark’s Cove, a protected inlet that is home to plenty of fish and a few live corals. Remember to never feed the fish or step on anything that you think might be coral.

BEST FOR SCENERY

H A L O NA B E A C H Also known as Cockroach Cove, this is one of the smallest beaches on this list. It’s also one of the prettiest. This beach, featured in the movie “From Here to Eternity,” boasts turquoise waters and cliffs that rise on either side. Park at the Halona Blowhole and head down, then walk along the rocks to get a great view of the South Shore beaches.

BEST FOR SUNSET

KO O L I NA B E A C H Any west-facing beach is great, as you can watch the sun set over the water anywhere. That said, Ko Olina is our pick because of all the things you can do before sunset.

This beach is made up of a handful of man-made lagoons great for swimming and snorkeling. There are hotels nearby, most notably Disney’s Aulani resort. Explore the shark and manta pools at the Ihilani resort, or soak up the Disney atmosphere at Aulani. Bring a picnic and enjoy your dinner on the grassy areas of the lagoons as you watch the sun set.

BEST FOR SOLITUDE

Y O KO H A M A B AY This beach is on the westernmost point of O‘ahu, featuring the Wai‘anae Mountains in the background and white sand that extends for about a mile. The bay doesn’t get many visitors because it’s all the way on the West Side, past Wai‘anae and Kapolei. The waves do tend to get big here, so check the surf report before snorkeling or swimming. If the swell is too big, there’s a trail at Ka‘ena Point for some great ocean views.

BEST FOR SURFING

SUNSE T BEACH Spring is one of the most consistent seasons to ride the waves, as the North Shore swells are tapering off and the South Shore swells are getting bigger. Sunset Beach on the North Shore has waves small enough for surfers of varying levels. Sunset Beach has about a dozen different reef breaks and one of the longest stretches of rideable surf spots in the world. The water is clear and in the springtime the crowds are smaller, making this beach a shore decision.

BEST FOR PEOPLE WATCHING

K A I L UA B E A C H

The beaches on the south side are great for people watching, including world-famous Waikīkī Beach. However, if you want to a place that’s less crowded but with equally interesting clientele, head to Kailua. It has a mix of tourists and locals, all looking to have fun in the sun. Spread your towel on Kailua’s half-mile of sandy beach or relax on the grassy recreation area and soak up some views.

UTER ISLAND ODYSSEY

MAUI SHIWANI JOHNSON SENIOR STAFF WRITER

If I could recommend one place to visit for spring break I would say, “Go to Maui.”

Maui is the home of my heart and I miss it every day. It is a slow-paced, country-feeling kind of island; the beaches are pristine, the hikes are incomparable and all the people only want to relax. You are more likely to see a lifted Toyota 4Runner or an old beater than a new car. Everyone knows everyone and they all know the best places to surf, hike or just cruise. As a Maui girl not going home for spring break this year, maybe I can share some of my favorite places and you can enjoy them for me.

RED SANDS BEACH

BIG ISLAND

This beach is on the east side of the island, smack dab in Hāna town, although it is tucked away. The town itself is pretty small, but all of Hāna covers a pretty long stretch of the backside of Haleakalā. Located just past Hāna Bay, Red Sands is a short hike down and around the cliff side. The trail is loose and gravelly with few handholds, so be careful. The hills surrounding Red Sands are red and you’ll know you have reached the beach when you see the tall black rocks that enclose the small bay. The water is dark blue and crystal clear. Sometimes the current is strong, so don’t get too close to the bay opening. Some consider clothing to be optional here.

‘ĪAO VALLEY

NICOLYN CHARLOT SPECIAL ISSUES EDITOR

Hawai‘i Island is one of the most scenically diverse locations in the state, making it the perfect spring break destination. Doing every available activity on Hawai‘ i is near impossible in a lifetime, let alone a week, so to help you plan your outer-island adventure, here are some of the highlights of the state’s biggest island.

PĀHOA If you are itching to see some of the youngest rock on the face of the planet, Pāhoa is currently the place to be. While viewing live lava is highly unlikely, you can stop by the Pāhoa transfer station to see some of the damage from recent flows. Aside from volcanic activity, the town of Pāhoa has a variety of shops and restaurants worth exploring, as well as a large farmer’s market on Sundays. A final stop near Pāhoa is Alahanui Park, located around 15 minutes outside of the town. It has a geothermal hot spring worth taking a dip in so long as you don’t have any open wounds.

HAWAI‘I VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK Exploring lava tubes, feeling heat from steam vents, and inhaling the stinky smell of sulfur will make your experience at this National Park unforgettable. One can spend multiple days here, but if you must limit yourself, squeeze in a couple hikes (Kīlauea Iki and Mauna Ulu are favorites) and see the glow from Halemaumau crater’s 520-by-690-foot lava lake at night.

Ranger-guided hikes and activities are free, so if you want to learn a little about the native plants and animals, Hawaiian culture and the volcanic landscape, stop by the Visitor’s Center to get more information.

MAUNA KEA The peak of this sometimes snowy mountain is the highest point in the state, making for great views and potential sunrise and sunset viewing opportunities. While the altitude makes breathing challenging for some (take time to acclimate, especially if going to the summit), the thin atmosphere provides an ideal stargazing opportunity. Coming here at night will show you exactly why those controversial telescopes are being built atop this volcano – there are few places on earth where you will find a view of the night sky with this much clarity.

SOUTH POINT Also known as Ka Lae, this location is not only the southernmost point in Hawai‘ i, but in the entire United States. This is a place worth checking out, even if only for the bragging rights. However, you will also be treated to great oceanic views and there are some popular cliff jumping spots as well. The nearby Green Sand Beach, given its color by the mineral olivine, is also worth visiting.

POST-A-NUT OFFICE In Ho‘olehua is a spot called the Post-A-Nut Office, where you can mail a coconut either to other islands or to the mainland. You enter the small post office, pick out a coconut, and the sales clerk will show you where to write the address. Shipping three coconuts costs an average of $11.55, but the coconuts themselves are free of charge. You have the option of decorating them as well. It‘s a great way of bringing a bit of the island back home.

KALAUPAPA LOOKOUT You can visit the Kalaupapa Lookout, which is located in Pālā‘au State Park and overlooks the northern side of Moloka‘i. From this viewpoint, you can get a glimpse of the historic peninsula, which was used for many years to provide a haven for people who suffered from Hansen’s Disease. There are several nearby plaques that describe the history of Kalaupapa as well as the people most actively involved during the time of the outbreak, including Father Damien and Mother Marianne.

HĀLAWA FALLS Hālawa Falls is a great hike that you can go on and you are allowed to swim in the waterfall at the end. However, there is more to the experience than just a fun trek and a swim. In 1946, a tsunami hit Hālawa.

If you are lucky, you may get to talk to ‘Anakala Pilipo Solatorio, who lived in the valley when the tsunami struck. He and his son Gregory now lead tours to the waterfall, which is 240 feet tall. You have to get permission or go on a tour to go see the falls, but once you are there, you are able to learn more about the history of the valley and the culture of the people of Moloka‘i.

KAMOI SNACK-N-GO Kamoi Snack-n-Go is a shack in Kaunakakai, Moloka‘i that serves ice cream made with fresh ingredients. They offer many Hawai‘i-inspired flavors, including Hawaiian mudpie, poha berry and purple sweet potato. This place is a great snacking spot, especially on a hot day.

This state park has a particularly bloody history; King Kamehameha I fought to gain control over Maui here in the 1790s. You wouldn’t know that by being there today, though.

On the north side of the West Maui Mountains, ‘Īao Valley is quiet, vibrantly green and characterized by a winding stream and an almost constant vague cloudiness. Depending on how you feel, you can walk the short trail that takes you on a quick tour of the valley or you can hop into ‘Īao Stream. The fresh water comes from the rainfall that collects at the valley’s summit. There are guava trees along the stream and you might even see some fish or shellfish. It can be cold, so I recommend bringing a jacket.

MĀKENA BEACH Also known as Big Beach, Mākena is a long stretch of beach with three entrances, located on the south side of Maui. It is at the end of Kīhei and past The Shops at Wailea. The ocean here is deep and the waves can get big, so be careful if you have small children with you. The water is always a clear aquamarine and you can see Kaho‘olawe. Mākena is called Big Beach because if you climb over the cliff at the west end you will find Little Beach. I won’t tell you what goes on over there but, if you do decide to go the other side, you should know that clothing is optional.

BAMBOO FOREST/COMMANDO HIKE If you are planning on going to Hāna, or if you have a day just for adventure, this place is perfect to stop at and explore. Past Ha‘ikū and Twin Falls, you will see the bamboo trees starting to line the mountainside. You can find parking by a red gate and the entrance is nearby. Hike into the trees and find streams, waterfalls, mini valleys and some cow fields. It feels like you are in a jungle, but in a safe-no-predators-because-we-live-HI kind of jungle. Whenever I feel like daydreaming, this is the place I think about. I recommend a bathing suit, some hiking shoes and a towel.

POST-A-NUT OFFICE In Ho‘olehua is a spot called the Post-A-Nut Office, where you can mail a coconut either to other islands or to the mainland. You enter the small post office, pick out a coconut, and the sales clerk will show you where to write the address. Shipping three coconuts costs an average of $11.55, but the coconuts themselves are free of charge. You have the option of decorating them as well. It‘s a great way of bringing a bit of the island back home.

KALAUPAPA LOOKOUT You can visit the Kalaupapa Lookout, which is located in Pālā‘au State Park and overlooks the northern side of Moloka‘i. From this viewpoint, you can get a glimpse of the historic peninsula, which was used for many years to provide a haven for people who suffered from Hansen’s Disease. There are several nearby plaques that describe the history of Kalaupapa as well as the people most actively involved during the time of the outbreak, including Father Damien and Mother Marianne.

HĀLAWA FALLS Hālawa Falls is a great hike that you can go on and you are allowed to swim in the waterfall at the end. However, there is more to the experience than just a fun trek and a swim. In 1946, a tsunami hit Hālawa.

If you are lucky, you may get to talk to ‘Anakala Pilipo Solatorio, who lived in the valley when the tsunami struck. He and his son Gregory now lead tours to the waterfall, which is 240 feet tall. You have to get permission or go on a tour to go see the falls, but once you are there, you are able to learn more about the history of the valley and the culture of the people of Moloka‘i.

KAMOI SNACK-N-GO Kamoi Snack-n-Go is a shack in Kaunakakai, Moloka‘i that serves ice cream made with fresh ingredients. They offer many Hawai‘i-inspired flavors, including Hawaiian mudpie, poha berry and purple sweet potato. This place is a great snacking spot, especially on a hot day.

This state park has a particularly bloody history; King Kamehameha I fought to gain control over Maui here in the 1790s. You wouldn’t know that by being there today, though.

On the north side of the West Maui Mountains, ‘Īao Valley is quiet, vibrantly green and characterized by a winding stream and an almost constant vague cloudiness. Depending on how you feel, you can walk the short trail that takes you on a quick tour of the valley or you can hop into ‘Īao Stream. The fresh water comes from the rainfall that collects at the valley’s summit. There are guava trees along the stream and you might even see some fish or shellfish. It can be cold, so I recommend bringing a jacket.

MĀKENA BEACH Also known as Big Beach, Mākena is a long stretch of beach with three entrances, located on the south side of Maui. It is at the end of Kīhei and past The Shops at Wailea. The ocean here is deep and the waves can get big, so be careful if you have small children with you. The water is always a clear aquamarine and you can see Kaho‘olawe. Mākena is called Big Beach because if you climb over the cliff at the west end you will find Little Beach. I won’t tell you what goes on over there but, if you do decide to go the other side, you should know that clothing is optional.

BAMBOO FOREST/COMMANDO HIKE If you are planning on going to Hāna, or if you have a day just for adventure, this place is perfect to stop at and explore. Past Ha‘ikū and Twin Falls, you will see the bamboo trees starting to line the mountainside. You can find parking by a red gate and the entrance is nearby. Hike into the trees and find streams, waterfalls, mini valleys and some cow fields. It feels like you are in a jungle, but in a safe-no-predators-because-we-live-HI kind of jungle. Whenever I feel like daydreaming, this is the place I think about. I recommend a bathing suit, some hiking shoes and a towel.

ROAD TRIP PLAYLIST

Daytrippin’: O‘ahu style

CHRISTINA YAN ASSOCIATE SPECIAL ISSUES EDITOR

This playlist is for those who need to relax on that coastal drive-by or need some music to amp them up on their way to the mountains.

There’s something for everyone here to get you through that long drive.

So it’s spring break and you have time to do something adventurous. What are you going to do? Are you going to call in some pizza and marathon “How I Met Your Mother” for the 50th time? Maybe you will switch it up and watch “Mad Men” instead. My suggestion is to be ambitious. In other words: cram as much of this beautiful island into one day as you possibly can.

To prove to you that it can be done, I decided to take a day trip around the entire east side of the island.

Mode of transportation: ‘07 Mustang GT (The car is owned by my friend Andre, who has agreed to “work” with me).

Supplies for the day: Hiking shoes, lightweight jacket, bathing suit, Hydro Flask, camera, hat, sunscreen, towel and dining attire.

Goal: From sunup to sundown traverse the east coast of O‘ahu taking in as much as I possibly can.

Hanauma Bay

Dave’s Ice Cream Parlor

Diamond Head Crater

Diamond Head is one of my favorite close-to-town, touristy, easy hikes, especially in the morning.

Be aware that this also is a favorite destination for busloads of eager, camera-bearing tourists. The hike takes an hour at most, up and back.

The path is mostly paved; the top has stairs and a rest area. Pictures from the top are definitely worth the effort.

Teddy’s Bigger Burgers Kailua

Bogart’s Cafe

Bogart’s Cafe is a tiny little cafe on Monsarrat Avenue with a large menu and a long line. The cafe is known for its breakfast bagel and açai bowl. Bogart’s only takes cash – so don’t bring your card unless you are using it to withdraw cash from the ATM three stores down.

The parking lot for Hanauma Bay is almost always full, so get there early.

Hanauma Bay is a nature preserve, so everyone is required to watch a nine-minute educational film about the bay and the wildlife in it. The preserve keeps a list of names, and if you’ve seen the film within the past year you don’t have to see it again.

Afterwards, you can walk or, for a small fee, be shuttled down to the bay. Butterflyfish, Humuhumunukunukuāpua‘a, Moorish idols and other fish live within the bay. I screamed bubbles when a Parrot fish the size of a 7-year-old swam under me.

7

Lanikai Juice Kailua

I used to live in Waimānalo when I went to elementary school and I stopped here to see if the malasada truck I remember was still there.

It was not, so I opted for another childhood favorite: shaved ice. I got cherry, watermelon and lime topped with sweetened-condensed milk. It was so good, I wondered why I don’t eat shaved ice more often.

8

The best thing about Teddy’s, besides the onion rings, is the selection of burger sizes: Big, Bigger and Biggest. I opted for a Bigger blue cheese burger, and added grilled onions, bacon and avocado with a side of onion rings and would recommended it to you. Andre got a Bigger Kailua burger, also very good.

On the verge of a food coma, we headed to the beach.

9

Byodo-In Temple

Waimea Bay

Less of a beach and more of the sandy area in front of rich peoples’ beach houses, Lanikai is perfect for sunny weekend days with the family. The water is clear, the view of the Mokes is always awesome and the vibe is relaxing. I decided to take a short 40-minute nap before Andre and I walked down the beach to take pictures.

Hale‘iwa Joe’s

King Years & Years God’s Whisper Raury New Dorp, New York SBTRKT ft. Ezra Koenig

* In place of all these songs, any Childish Gambino song will work. **In addition, our Editor-In-Chief highly recommends the Polish National Anthem for its upbeat tempo and rhythm.

Now before you judge me, you should know that I can eat as much as two grown men without any thoughts of guilt. My excuse for the delicious mango-papaya-yogurt-honey smoothie was the energy boost I added to it. The menu at Lanikai Juice is extensive and enough to entice everyone from the health-conscious peckish to the nutrient-deprived borderline starving.

This non-practicing Buddhist temple is nestled beneath the Ko‘olau Mountain Range. After crossing the Japanese-style bridge, you come to a small courtyard complete with a koi pond, rock garden, black swans and Buddha statue. You can ring the bell, make an offering or purchase handmade Japanese calligraphy.

The drive down the east coast of O‘ahu takes you through Kāne‘ohe, Lā‘ ie and North Shore. There are many places to stop and grab a bite to eat or just sit and take in the view. The best place for sunset is Waimea Bay. If you just want to relax, you can watch the sun go down and lie in the sand.

Dinner is the most important meal of my day. I like Hale‘iwa Joe’s for its local feel mixed with casual elegance. Also, the restaurant has a covered outside seating area near the harbor. The resturaunt always has a fresh fish selection. However, I opted for the pork chop this time, which paired well with a glass of wine.

MOVIE MARATHONS FOR SPRING BREAK

Need something to keep you occupied over spring break, or just want to get back into reading for fun? Picking a book that captivates you and keeps you turning the pages all night long can be difficult to find. Many people who stop reading for fun do so because they cannot find a book worth their time. The four books below are from different genres and are short so you don’t feel the need to commit too much time.

IKAIKA SHIVELEY ASSOCIATE FEATURES EDITOR

Spring break is here, which means over a week of free time is upon us.

Let’s face it – most students are too lazy to go to the beach or take on a strenuous hike every day. Instead, why not stay home and relax with the help of your television? Rather than spending hours binge-watching shows on Netflix, try giving a movie marathon a shot. Here are a few suggestions for some ultimate movie marathons:

‘Yes Please’

‘The Outsiders’

Author: Amy Poehler Genre: Memoir

Author: S.E. Hinton Genre: Young Adult

‘Harry Potter’ Films: 8 Runtime: 19 hr. 38 min.

Chances are you’ve already seen all the films, but why not do it again?

While it may be difficult to sit through all eight films in one sitting, there’s nothing like watching the actors grow from adolescents to adults. The nostalgia factor alone will be a highlight, but the blend of brilliant storytelling, fantastic visuals and a talented cast makes for a truly magical experience.

‘Lord of the Rings/Hobbit’ Films: 6 Runtime: Theatrical 17 hr. 12 min. Extended 20 hr. 21 min.

This past December marked the end of yet another respected franchise.

For those who haven’t yet witnessed the masterpiece that is the “Lord of the Rings Trilogy,” it is time to take part in movie history. But don’t stop there, as “The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies” is set to release on Bluray March 24, making for the possible inclusion of the Hobbit trilogy in an epic J.R.R. Tolkien marathon.

This novel is exactly as one might expect it to be: raw, funny and jam-packed with juicy stories from one of comedy’s favorite women. “Yes Please” is a glimpse into the life of Amy Poehler, starting from her humble upbringing to her unlimited success on the famous television show, “Parks and Recreation.” Every page offers fans an inside look at her first experiences with improv, her hard work and dedication, as well as how she managed to snag an awesome team of friends on Saturday Night Live. The novel is more of a conversation with Poehler because she writes exactly how you’d expect her to speak. This book is nothing but laughs on every single page, with an occasional life lesson thrown into her hilarious story. If you need to kill time and want to learn how to take life a little less seriously, “Yes Please” is a must-read.

“The Outsiders” by S.E. Hinton is a classic that is never too late to read. Following the story of Ponyboy Curtis and Johnny Cade, readers experience the hardships of love, stereotypes and poverty. After a night that takes a turn for the worse, Ponyboy and Johnny are forced to flee the safety of their homes and take refuge in an abandoned church far from home. They experience gang violence, as well as the difficulty of deciding what is morally and legally right. The level of gang violence is high as the story unfolds to one last big brawl between the Greasers and the Socs. This novel is short, but it has the potential to change readers’ lives.

‘The Jurassic Park Trilogy’

‘The Martian’

‘Jurassic Park’

Films: 3 Runtime: 5 hr. 49 min.

Author: Andy Weir Genre: Sci-Fi

Author: Michael Crichton Genre: Sci-Fi

A personal favorite of mine, the “Jurassic Park Trilogy” is the epitome of a true summer blockbuster. Breaking the barrier of CGI and animatronics technology, the original “Jurassic Park” sparked imagination in children and adults alike. With the sequel “Jurassic World” coming this June, what better way to prepare than by watching the franchise from the very beginning.

‘Indiana Jones’ Films: 4 Runtime: 7 hr. 5 min.

As one of the greatest cinematic characters created, Henry Walter Jones Jr. (Indiana Jones) has captured the essence of going to the movies. Not only do moviegoers want heart-pounding action that suspends the limit of belief, but they also want a truly lovable character. As of recent, rumors have begun to spread that a new actor will wear the fedora and bullwhip, which means fans are left with only these films to enjoy Harrison Ford’s masterful portrayal of everyone’s favorite archaeologist.

‘Marvel Cinematic Universe’ Films: 10 Runtime: 20 hr. 44 min.

With the release of “Avengers: Age of Ultron” quickly approaching, spring break offers the perfect opportunity to either catch up or relive the awesomeness that is the Marvel Cinematic Universe. From 2008’s “Iron Man” to 2014’s “Guardians of the Galaxy,” the series is filled with eye-popping action, humor and an overall entertaining experience.

This novel follows the life of astronaut Mark Watney, who is unknowingly left on Mars after a freak accident.

His crew assumed he died in a giant storm that forced them to leave Mars. However, Watney is alive and well, but stuck with no form of communication with Earth.

Watney is forced to use the limited resources available on Mars’ surface to ensure survival and to find a way to let his crew and everyone on Earth know that he is alive and needs help. An absolute thriller and one that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page, “The Martian” also does an amazing job making difficult subjects like chemistry, science and botany seem more interesting and understandable. Weir worked closely with NASA throughout his lifetime, and he demonstrates his knowledge in this originally self-published novel. Individuals of any age can appreciate this book, and it was featured on the New York Times Best Seller’s List for many weeks.

Who doesn’t love dinosaurs? Character John Hammond creates what he believes to be the ultimate resort: Jurassic Park, a park which features special genetically modified creatures from the Jurassic age.

The scientific side of the story alone is enough to pique one’s interest, but throw in dinosaurs loose on an isolated island and things cannot get any better.

This novel is not just a hit with the paleontologists and mathematical geniuses of the world; it keeps all readers wondering and asking for more until the very last page. Readers can root for their favorite characters to survive and their least favorites to get eaten along the way. Crichton packs this excitement into every page, which seems like a lot until you discover all of the ups and downs that come with dinosaur drama. The idea behind this book might not be as far-fetched as you think; scientists may one day have the technology to bring back dinosaurs.

ULTIMATE FRISBEE

PAINTBALL

Emulating football, ultimate frisbee is a popular obscure sport in Hawai‘i due to its simplicity and minimal equipment required. Teams can play on fields as they attempt to pass a frisbee into the endzone. The most important rule is that players cannot run with the frisbee and instead have to pass their way to victory. All it takes to play is a frisbee and an even number of friends to play with.

Games are often played on the corner of campus near Sinclair Circle, but are also played on parks all over the island.

Paintball involves teams playing basic war games that use athletic prowess, teamwork and strategy.

Although gear and ammunition can be expensive, rentals often last for an entire day to let people get their money’s worth on a weekend.

Those with a few interested friends can find a relaxed atmosphere at the paintball facility on the military side of Bellows where the field consists of trees and makeshift buildings. People looking for a more structured game can check out the Hawai‘i All-Star facility near the airport, or Paintball Hawaii in Kapolei.

DISC GOLF

FIELD HOCKEY

Although there are many ways to use a frisbee at the beach or at a park, disc golf is a chance to turn a hobby into a sport. Organized in a similar way to normal golf, players throw discs of various weights toward holes that are usually metal baskets with chains to catch the discs. These discs can be picked up at a few sporting goods stores on the island, and most people use three different discs for long, medium and short distance throws.

The University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa has a marked course that is only open on Sunday mornings. While, students with a car can head out to a more structured course at Turtle Bay on the North Shore, any open park with noticeable landmarks can serve as a makeshift place to play.

Field hockey takes the basic rules of hockey and places it on grass, something that Hawai‘i has plenty of.

Teams of 11 players use sticks to pass a small ball across a 100-yard field in an attempt to score in a net smaller than a soccer goal. Field Hockey in Hawai‘i is the only field hockey group on O‘ahu, and they organize games on Saturdays through their Facebook page. Similar to soccer and basketball, smaller numbers of people can play on any field with makeshift equipment and goals to get an idea of what the sport is about.

Pricey spring break activities

ANDY CIORDIA / FLICKR 

ANGUSINA CAMPBELL OPINIONS EDITOR

College students are notoriously short on cash. However, if you have been saving money, or this is your last semester, this spring break could be perfect for an expensive adventure.

SWIMMING WITH DOLPHINS Sea Life Park offers a “Dolphin Royal Swim” ($249.99) and a “Dolphin Swim Adventure” ($184.99) daily, based on availability. Book your appointment on the website and arrive 30 minutes early. Bring a towel and swimwear, and make sure to wear biodegradable sunscreen.

Participants must sign a waiver and a liability release. The program is 45 minutes long, but the actual swimming lasts for 30 minutes. This activity is not recommended for pregnant women or those with back or neck problems. The Dolphin Royal Swim is available daily at 9:30 a.m., 11 a.m., 1:45 p.m. and 3:15 p.m. The Dolphin Swim Adventure is available daily at 10:15 a.m., 11:45 a.m., 1 p.m. and 2:30 p.m.

SKYDIVING

HELICOPTER TOURS

Book a tandem skydiving excursion for you and a friend. Skydive Hawaii has jumps from 12,000, 14,000 and 20,000 feet. Students are eligible for a 12,000-foot jump at $125. If you jump on your birthday, you get a free T-shirt. Discounts are available if you make your reservations on their website three days in advance. The jumps cost about $100-$175, and the 20,000-foot jump costs $995.

See O‘ahu from a different perspective. Makani Kai Helicopters offers sightseeing trips over iconic parts of the island, including Pearl Harbor, Sacred Falls, Aloha Tower and Ko Olina. You can choose between open seating and first class, which is nearly $20 to $30 more. Prices start at about $135 online and cost up to $1,850 for a private party of six at maximum.

RESTAURANT

BOAT TOUR

Upgrade from the cafeteria by dining at La Mer, one of the Halekulani Hotel’s restaurants. This French restaurant uses local ingredients and is open from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Long-sleeved collared shirts or jackets and evening dresses are required. Make your reservations on their website, where the menu is also available. La Mer offers a tasting menu for $195, and wines range from $12 to more than $400.

A three-course meal costs $110 and a four-course meal $145.

Under the Sea Hawaii offers a sunset cruise at $249 per person. Participants can snorkel and watch the ocean wildlife through the glass-bottomed boat. Food and beverages are provided, as well as music. The program lasts for twoand-a-half to three hours.

STOP, LIFT AND LISTEN SHIINA LOSCIUTO STAFF WRITER

Every spring break, or maybe every break, we promise ourselves we will get our bodies beachready. We do live in Hawai‘ i, after all. This spring break, why not try out this playlist at the gym?

It starts out calm for a warm-up and then works up to the intensity you desire. From Fergie to Fall Out Boy, this can make a workout feel like a party.

2015 SPRING BREAK SPECIAL ISSUE

27

College students spend most of their time at school trying to be as efficient and organized as possible. With quizzes, assignments and projects due every week, it’s important to have a plan to get through the semester. Spring break is no different, except that there are no quizzes, assignments or projects. Doing nothing can still be enhanced by a basic set of plans and preparations.

Stretch your sleep schedule Students often add a couple hours to their sleep schedule by not having to wake up for an early class, but true experts find more ways to spend time dozing off. Sleeping during the day can be an adjustment, but naps can be one of the most enjoyable parts of a wasted spring break. Avoid caffeine because there are no assignments to do or exams to study for and make sure large meals are eaten in the middle of the day, so a nap can follow the big lunch. When school starts again, finals will lead to enough late-night study sessions, so enjoy the sleep while you can.

Pre-emptive procrastination

THE PLANNER’S GUIDE TO

Nothing ruins a spring break faster than the dread of assignments due when school resumes. For those who have things due the first week back, it’s wise to hit those assignments head-on at the beginning of break or before the break begins. It’s common to put assignments off until the Sunday before school starts again, but it will be much easier to sleep and watch Netflix without due dates to think of.

PLANNING NOTHING

Stock up

NICK HUTH SPORTS EDITOR

Anyone who is spending most of his or her time at home over the break needs to make sure that he or she stocked up on favorite snacks for the countless hours of binge-watching and playing video games.

Nothing limits the fun of doing nothing over spring break more than running out of your favorite food and drinks. Spend a few hours at a local grocery store to load up on anything you’ll crave over the next seven days. Be sure to focus on comfort food, including things to eat cold or warm so that you’re prepared for different weather or times of the day.

Organize your queue Netflix is one of the top priorities for students who want to wind down during spring break, and the most complicated part of a person’s planned laziness is the queue. Before the break begins, spend some time coordinating the shows that will absorb the week before school resumes. Place the most time-consuming shows at the start of your queue so you have plenty of time to finish them. Break up your list with documentaries or films that aren’t as involving as “Breaking Bad” or “House of Cards.” Your queue should reflect the order in which you want to waste your break.ue should reflect the order in which you want to waste your break.

Regardless of plans or strategies to maximize the time before school starts up again, the best way to spend spring break is up to the individual. Taking naps can be relaxing, but some people prefer to spend eight hours a day playing video games. Whether you’re going to be active or not over break, it’s important to spend it how you want to because it will recharge you for the rest of the semester.

BEST PLACES FOR SHAVED ICE IVY LEI CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Waiola Shave Ice

Shimazu Store

Ice Garden

People never fail to name Waiola when listing best shaved ice places on O‘ahu, and Waiola has now expanded locations. Its original store opened in 1940 and has been serving what many consider the most amazing shaved ice for decades. They offer a wide range of flavors, from traditional options like watermelon and raspberry, to exotic ones including Li hing mui and Thai tea. Wailoa also features sugar-free syrup, which is a plus for those who have restricted diets.

The shaved ice texture at Shimazu is rougher than other locations, so people who prefer crunchier ice tend to place Shimazu before Waiola. Shimazu offers over 50 different flavors. Less common flavors include red velvet creme, crème brûlée, milk tea royale and mojito. They offer creamy haupia as a topping, which also allows you to get a plastic holder with no extra charge. The portions are humongous, especially if you order “The Larry,” which is the extra-large.

Ice Garden offers a different experience from the other locations; the ice isn’t as fine, but is still fluffy enough to offer a pleasant experience with each bite. The most famous option is their #7 combo, which is a classic milk shaved ice with condensed milk, pudding, and mochi balls. Even those who choose not to order the #7 often come out of Ice Garden with one of the store’s popular homemade toppings – mochi balls or pudding.

Ailana Shave Ice & Café

Uncle Clay’s House Of Pure Aloha

Hidden away in a building next to the Bank of Hawai‘ i near Ala Moana Center, Ailana is the most underrated shaved ice place. The strawberry milk flavor is a must try, especially since it is unique and isn’t offered elsewhere. The syrup is homemade and so fresh that the strawberry seeds are visible. The store’s other syrups are also thicker than other places.

What makes this place stand out from all the other shaved ice locations is Uncle Clay. Not a single soul has anything negative to say about him, and chatting with him while enjoying some of O‘ahu’s best shaved ice can brighten anyone’s day. The syrup is homemade so the flavors taste fresh and the portions are gigantic.

Spring break

ILLUSTRATION BY LAUREN TABOR / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

There is always one complaint everyone has on the tip of their tongues before spring break: “I can’t fly home – the amount of money I’m spending for a week isn’t even worth it.” However, there are ways to getting around paying that four-digit price tag.

Studies show that flying on Tuesdays can also be the best day to fly for less. Of course, Fridays and Sundays are more expensive to travel on.

What day to buy:

What time to fly: It’s a bit of a sacrifice, but flying the red-eye will definitely shave off a fair amount of your ticket price.

Catch that 4 a.m. flight and drink some ZzzQuil – it’ll be fine. Other flight times that are often priced lower are flights at lunchtime or dinner. You might have to deal with an overnight layover, but in the end it’ll all be worth it when you’re back in your own comfy bed and not the dorm’s version of one.

Many major cities have a smaller, secondary airport. It’s the airport that many of the cheap budget airlines fly into because

As students, we have a huge advantage with airfare. Sites like STA Travel and StudentUniverse often have deals with airlines to offer cheaper tickets. I once bought a ticket from England to California for only $800 for Christmas Eve that left at 6 a.m. and arrived in California at 9 a.m. – not too shabby. We also have the typical websites to use like Expedia, Kayak and Travelocity. Kayak offers a great app called “Explore Tool” which allows it to view the airport you choose and see which routes have the cheapest fares.

Google Flights also has a similar feature that you can use through your search bar. International sites like Skyscanner or Momondo will also help booking cheaper flights.



How to fly:

Sites to use:



Airlines typically announce their deals on Monday evenings (also the most expensive day to buy tickets), so by the time 3 p.m. rolls around on Tuesday, all the airlines are scrambling to match the deals of competitors. Sometimes, calling the airline and talking to a ticket agent can also get the price reduced.

Sunday is also one of the best days to buy airfare. According to a Texas A&M University study, weekends are the best time to book airline tickets. This is due to airlines lowering their fares to attract leisure travelers. Prices to locations like Las Vegas, where people visit all days of the week, don’t often change much throughout the week.

Which day to fly:

smaller airports charge smaller fees. If you’re trying to fly to Los Angeles, instead of flying to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), fly into Long Beach.

Trying an alternative route can help as well. While on the way to a foreign country, sometimes stopping in another can help save you big bucks rather than flying direct.

Another tip when purchasing plane tickets is to include more than one stop. This can be a little inconvenient, especially with a carry-on, but it often makes your plane ticket significantly cheaper.

The airline you fly with will also be a huge factor in how much you’re paying. In Europe, companies like Ryanair and EasyJet are widely known as the least expensive way to fly intercontinental and intra-European. In the states, our budget airlines are primarily limited to JetBlue Airways, Frontier and Spirit Airlines, which don’t fly to the islands. In Asia, Air Asia had a huge drop in fares so you could buy round-trip tickets from Beijing to Melbourne for $341 and Kuala Lumpur to Ho Chi Minh City from only $29.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Dear Reader, Ah, yes – the spring. This is the season of flowers, midterms and allergies. The season we barely recognize as a season, just like all of the others, because we live in Hawai‘i. However, there is one thing that stands out in the spring, especially for college students utterly drained of hope and ambition – spring break.

Summer is close, but never close enough, like a carrot dangled in front of an exam-laden donkey. This mini-vacation is a blissful skylight in the awful tunnel of spring semester.

Alright, enough of the depressing similes; I know why you’re really here. You’re bogged down with the last stretch of school and you haven’t gotten a chance to plan what you’ll be doing for those nine glorious days. Don’t worry – we’ll take care of you. Within this gorgeous issue of Ka Leo, there are numerous articles that will help you decide what to do next week.

Peruse our pages both in print and online and all of your spring break related concerns will disappear (unlike your ALEX BITTER / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I  course load).

For those of you interested in traveling during your vacation, there are a number of handy articles. “Outer Island Odyssey,” is useful for those wanting to explore away from O‘ahu, while “Spring Break Getaways” will prove beneficial to those wanting to venture beyond the state. For those staying on the island, “Beach a Day” will give you ideas for O‘ahu adventures. If you feel like expanding your mind a little, learn about the history of spring break in, “The History of Spring Break,” or discover some new books to read with, “Best of the Books.”

We also provide articles on sports to try, events to attend, suggestions for cramming homework into the first and last days of break, and several fabulous playlists for a variety of settings.

Spring break is almost upon us, dear reader. I hope that this guide will be of assistance to you as you scheme adventures or strategize the maximum amount of sleep and Netflix you can squeeze into a week. The semester is long and hard, and there is still more to come. Even if you have plenty of work to finish over break, do take some time to recharge yourself during this oh-so-glorious week. You deserve it.

UH Productions (UHP) is hosting its annual UH Spring Film Challenge this semester with a twist – instead of the usual 72-hour time limit, the challenge will take place over all seven days of spring break.

The challenge is open to all University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa students, whether a film major or not, to make the best film that they can within certain criteria.

“The Spring Film Challenge is a challenge that UH Productions puts out for the students to allow us to give back to the students and to get them to participate in film,” said Kyle Kosaki, general manager of UH Productions.

The theme for the challenge will be announced at the challenge’s kickoff party on March 18.

UH Production will decide on a prop, line and character that must be used in all challengers’ films.

Any kind of equipment may be used to film an entry, from iPhones to camcorders.

“I personally like it when people have [a] really small budget, but their content or the jokes they say are funny,” said executive producer of UH Productions Alana Bombino.

“It makes up for not having good equipment. So people shouldn’t be worried about not having equipment because even if they have their phone and they’re just really creative with their content, then it shouldn’t matter.”

There’s nothing better than grinding on a poke bowl after a long day under the Hawaiian sun. A heap of warm white rice topped with imperfect cubes of poke is the best post-surf, diving, tanning, hiking snack around. Here are four different restaurants that continuously serve delicious poke that please many across the island.

Poke is also made with octopus.

PA‘INA CAFÉ

FOODLAND

Fresh Catch has some good-quality fresh fish. There aren’t many locations around the island, but the most convenient is the one on Wai‘alae Avenue, only a one-minute drive from campus. Fresh Catch serves poke along with plate lunch options, too. It has a cool set-up inside where you order at the counter, pay for the poke by weight and then wait at the picnic tables. The atmosphere is local and laid-back, which complements their amazing food. I had the “Spicy Hawaiian” which was a spicy poke mixture with some imitation crab, limu and onions; nothing less than amazing.

The next time you’re heading back from Makapu‘u, Sandy’s or China Walls, don’t forget to stop by Pa‘ina Café in Koko Marina Shopping Center. There are seven different types of poke to order and countless savory and spicy toppings to add to your favorite bowl.

Some of the popular toppings are tempura flakes, kim chee and taegu (all at an extra cost of $.50). It has a special Hawaiian poke bowl with kālua pig, lomi salmon and your choice of poke; it’s phenomenal.

The bowls can get a bit expensive here, but the fresh cuts of fish are worth it.

Ono Seafood is a family-owned shop located on the busy street of Kapahulu. Snug in the corner of a busy bank parking lot, it’s easy to miss this hole in the wall if you aren’t on the lookout. The sweet ladies behind the counter make your poke bowls to order, and the result is nothing short of perfect.

The rice is topped with a signature shoyu, garlic and oyster sauce before the fresh poke is added. It has a wide variety of different types of poke, and they’re all delicious.

Foodland is a family favorite for poke in Hawai‘i. It’s convenient due to its multiple locations located all over the island. It has a wide variety of different types of poke to choose from and consistently make quality poke bowls. Maybe the best part about Foodland is the price of its poke bowls – it’s always $6.99 per poke bowl, and you really can’t beat that price for fresh fish. My favorite type to get here is the California poke, which is a blend of spicy poke mixed with cucumbers, avocados and imitation crab.

This dessert spot has been open for a few years at the building next to Burger King on Beretania Street.

Frost City stands apart from the typical shave ice and ice cream establishments near campus.

Frost City’s menu includes Hong Kong-style milk tea, soup desserts and snacks, but its main offering is “frost.” Frost is a dish similar to local favorite shave ice, but it is served as finely shaved layers of ice piled together. To make the frost, fruit is made into juice and frozen into large blocks of ice, which are then shaved. Popping boba, mochi and fresh fruit accompany the frost.

Flavors include strawberry, haupia, nutella and coffee ($4.75 for small, $6 for regular). Premium flavors like lychee, watermelon, lilikoi and durian are available, starting at $5.95 for a small size.

When Frost City first opened, all its flavors were the same price, so it was disappointing that the mango frost, a premium flavor, was more expensive. I ordered a small, which was enough for two people. The mango flavor was sweet but not overpowering, and the frost was light, so I didn’t feel I had overindulged. The sides offered with mango frost included chunks of pineapple, honeycomb cereal, mochi and strawberry popping boba, all of which complemented the fresh taste of the mango.

Service was efficient and pleasant, bringing the order within five minutes.

The place was clean and although I went on a Friday night around 7 p.m., it was almost empty.

Overall, I enjoyed the mango frost and will be back to order different flavors. However, it can be expensive, so I would recommend going occasionally.

A HYPOTHETICAL NIGHT OUT WITH TUCKER MAX Hana Ah You Staff Writer

With spring break fast approaching, those who desire a night to remember may channel the power of Tucker Max. A self-proclaimed “asshole” and challenger of social norms, Tucker Max is a name that sends shivers down the spines of feminists everywhere. The king of the fratire genre, Max is worshipped by men and women and despised around the world. His career launched in 2006 with his book “I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell,” followed by a movie of the same title and three books of similar content.

Unfortunately, Max is no longer 25 and reckless. Now just shy of 40 years old, with a baby, a new

start-up publishing company, several websites and countless investments, Max seems to be living the life of a mature adult. As of November 2014 Max was even set to be married to fiancée Veronica Pike, but there has not been a wedding yet.

This settled-down post-fratire Max would no doubt disappoint in the going-out department, and a night that previously would have ended in tears, reckless sex or a night in jail, now might end in boredom and a discussion about wise investing decisions.

Most people, unaware of what Max has been up to these days, have immortalized him as the 25year-old asshole he represented in his books. Max was the man

It is spring break and college-aged Tucker Max takes a month off of school with his friends to spend in Hawai‘ i. A chance encounter results in exchanged numbers, but not before Max has had the chance to break down the self-esteem of every woman present and offend all others.

Enchanted by the opportunity to check “Hawaiian Girl” off his to-do list, Max agrees to a night out, but only if there is the guarantee of hot girls for his friends.

Girlfriends in tow, the night begins at his hotel. Upon arrival, Max and his crew are three bottles deep and throwing every visible item out of the hotel room window while chanting harassments at passersby.

Any look of horror in reaction to this behavior will be met with name-calling, and at this point, one of the girlfriends who blindly agreed to this night will get upset and leave.

Once it is time for the pre-game to transition to a public venue, all hopes of a responsible night can be forgotten. It is spring break, after all, and Max is on a mission to hit on as many bikini-clad college women as possible. This will surely be accompanied by a routine guessing of bra size and pin-pointing of insecurities.

The night will escalate proportional to the amount of alcohol Max ingests. Street corner prostitutes will be tormented, strippers hassled and a general disrespect for women revealed. In the improbable chance that Max encounters a little person along the journey, say goodbye and longingly watch him wander off with her.

Max will proceed to invite five women back to his hotel after which sloppy, blacked-out sex will occur. Meanwhile, his friends will have wandered off and gotten arrested, their calls from jail made in vain as Max is too preoccupied to bail his best friends out.

The next morning he will ask why anyone is still in his room, and then toss everyone and their belongings into the hall, slamming the door behind them.

Overall, a night with Tucker Max will consist of feelings of regret and will be followed by a long session with a counselor during which life choices are discussed.

Imagine that all interactions with or near Max include intense and consistent use of profanity.

REALITY

Present day Tucker Max sits on the couch in his Texas home watching football while furiously live-tweeting (@TuckerMax) the game. Earlier he had suggested staying in rather than going out to a bar, since he can no longer party like a 25 year old.

Arrival brings the image of Max heckling at the television with his baby, Bishop, in one arm and a beer waving in his other hand. His greeting will be quickly followed by a strong suggestion that someone fetch him another beer.

The rest of the night is spent vying for Max’s attention, unsuccessfully.

The sole consolation comes from the opportunity to explore what can only be assumed to be a giant house, since Max is part of countless entrepreneurial ventures, websites and investments.

Whatever attention he does offer will be in the form of inspirational business quotes like, “Behind almost every inconvenience is a new business waiting to be born. Alain de Botton.” Other topics of conversation include humbly reminding the room that he is a three-time #1 New York Times Best Selling Author, followed by a full dissertation on his new publishing company, Book In A Box. (Which is actually really cool. Check it out.)

The night will conclude when his wife arrives home and wonders why there is a stranger on her couch (assuming he went through with the marriage).

Overall, a night with Tucker Max will consist of feelings of regret and a longing for what used to be.

TIPS FOR PARTYING WITH TUCKER MAX • Negativity is seen as a direct • Never challenge him invitation to belittle, harass shot-for-shot; he will win and generally embarrass unless it is whiskey. He is allergic to whiskey and will lose. said Negative Nancy until she leaves in tears.

• A sharp tongue and an • Have a good lawyer offensive sense of humor are key to gaining respect and acceptance from Max and co.

GAME 2

Roderick Bobbitt picked up his 100th steal of the season in a crucial moment during the championship game.

‘Bows fall short in final DREW AFUALO CONTRIBUTING WRITER

away from finishing it but we will get better and we will come back.”

In spite of doubt and criticism, the Rainbow Warrior basketball team fought their way to a spot in the Big West Conference championship, only to fall to UC Irvine Saturday night.

This past weekend, the annual Big West tournament at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California was packed with fans from all over the conference. The Warriors faced off against teams such as Long Beach State and UC Davis, and surprised everyone with their tenacity, having beaten both in their quest to the finals.

“My hat is off to Irvine, they are a very good ball club and very well coached,” acting head coach Benjy Taylor said. “We were 8-10 minutes

Hawai’i started their trek to the top by opening the tournament with a game against the Long Beach State Forty-Niners. The ‘Bows came out strong, picking up a 12 point lead with only three minutes into the first half. LBSU refused to fall behind however, making sure to close the deficit and tie up the score six times during the course of the game.

Offensively, though, the Warriors were firing on all cylinders. Overall they had 36 points in the paint and 33 bench points, simultaneously forcing 13 points off turnovers. Starting guard Garrett Nevels also led the

GAME 1

team with 17 points, as well as sophomore Aaron Valdes with a total of 14 points during the game, inevitably helping to clinch the win for the Warriors over the Forty-Niners, 79-72.

Remaining focused was not a problem for the Warriors, as they pulled off another close win over the UC Davis Aggies the next night.

Although the points were not as impressive as before, Hawai’i still managed to get 22 points in the paint, 19 bench points and a forced 11 points off turnovers.

The real talent came through in the team’s free-throw abilities. The ‘Bows tallied an impressive 75 percent completion rate for the team.

Junior Roderick Bobbitt also led the team with a 14 points, with freshman Isaac Fleming adding 13 points off the bench as well.

A late block in the second half by Valdes on Big West Player of the Year Corey Hawkins helped seal the deal for the 65-68 win over the Aggies.

“I think a lot of people didn’t expect us to do what we’ve done so far,” Bobbitt said. “I know it’s a shock to the world. But we do it for Hawai’i … so we just wanted to put a show on for our state.”

No one expected us to be here, but we stuck together as a team and made it this far. We had a great season.

– GARRETT NEVELS STARTING GUARD

“It feels great to win on the first day,” Nevels said. “But at the same time we have to remain focused and get ready for tomorrow, because we did not come here just to win one game.”

GAME 3

Having reached the tournament final for the Mountain West Conference, the Warriors faced the UC Irvine Anteaters for the title of Big West Champions.

David McCracken Associate Sports Editor

The game started off strong for Hawai’i, rushing to a solid 14-4 lead in the first half. Valdes led the team with 17 points, with Nevels right behind him with a total of 14. Bobbitt recorded six points, six assists and one steal, giving him 100 total this season. This makes him the fourth Big West player to record 100 steals in a season.

The Anteaters eventually worked their way back into the game in the second half however. After UCI tied the game up, it snowballed from there as the Warriors struggled for the rest of the game. UCI then pulled ahead with four minutes left in the half, a lead they would hold until they finished with a 67-58 win over the ‘Bows.

“It is a game of runs and they made their run at the right time,” Taylor said. “…We need to work on our interior presence a little bit, but we are young, we will get better.”

Even though the Rainbow Warriors were unable to bring home the trophy, they still managed to make it further than many critics anticipated. They also had two players, Bobbitt and Valdes, get named to the Big West All-Tournament Team.

The players felt the disappointment because of their loss, but continue dto hold their heads high.

“Of course I wanted to go to the tournament and win the championship, but at the same time, we had a 22-win season,” Nevels said. “No one expected us to be here, but we stuck together as a team and made it this far. We had a great season.”

Curtain falls on Wahine’s season DAVID MCCRACKEN ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

The 15-game winning streak for the Rainbow Wahine basketball team was snapped Saturday afternoon in the Big West Conference title game as the ‘Bows fell to Cal State University Northridge (CSUN) 67-60, finishing second place in the tournament.

The No. 1 seeded Hawai’i (23-9, 14-2 BWC) were given a bye through the quarterfinal round of the tournament before playing Cal State Fullerton in the semi-finals. On March 7, the final game of the regular season, the ‘Bows defeated Fullerton 61-38 at the Stan Sheriff Center. In the semi-finals, however, Fullerton came out and played with an intensity that wasn’t there when they played the Wahine on senior night a week earlier.

Fullerton tested the grit and mettle of UH until they ultimately fell to the ‘Bows 73-64 in a game that was decided by the Wahine’s ability to shoot free throws down the stretch. Shawna-Lei Kuehu was the catalyst for the Wahine, scoring 12 of her 18 total points in the second half of play. It took an 11-0 scoring

run by Hawai’i in the final stages of the second half to escape with the victory over Fullerton to seal the team’s place in the Big West Conference game against CSUN. CSUN were the last team to defeat Hawai’i on Jan. 10 of this year before the Wahine began their 15 game winning streak; the longest winning streak for the program since the 1997-1998 campaign. UH jumped

The Wahine had their best statistical season under the helm of head coach Laura Beeman. out to an early four point lead in the opening stages of the game before turnovers began to plague the ‘Bows. Hawai’i never had the lead in the second half after going into the halftime interval trailing 27-20.

Struggling to claw its way back into the game, UH committed 18 turnovers juxtaposed to CSUN’s nine.

The only bright spot for the game for Hawai’i was the play of its freshman reserve center, Megan Huff,

who posted a double-double with 16 points and 14 rebounds. Huff shot 60 percent from the field and grabbed 10 offensive rebounds for the game.

Huff, who also plays volleyball during the fall semester for the University of Hawai’i, registered eight more offensive rebounds than the second-most player for Hawai’i as Shawna-Lei Kuehu was able to grab two offensive boards for the game.

CSUN clinched its second consecutive Big West Conference title while receiving an automatic bid for the NCAA tournament. Hawai’i, on the other end of the spectrum, will not receive a bid for the NCAA tournament and will instead have to wait for an invitation to the Women’s National Invitational Tournament (WNIT). UH will know whether or not they have received a birth into the WNIT midnight ET on Monday, March 16.

The Wahine had its best statistical season under the helm of head coach Laura Beeman, who was awarded with the Big West Coach of the Year Honors this past week. The program’s 23 win-season marked the most wins in a single season for the Wahine since 2001 when the

SHANE GRACE / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

The Wahine defeated Cal State Fulerton in the semifinals before facing CSUN

‘Bows had a 23-8 record on the season. To put things into perspective on how successful UH was this season, the program went 17-14 last season, winning 10 of its 16 conference games in the process. Saturday’s title game against CSUN was

also the first time that the Wahine had reached a conference title game since the 2001 campaign.

Behind the serving line Warrior volleyball dishes out the lowdown on different serving styles

DIFFE DIFFERENT E R ENT TYPES OF SERVES ANDREW SWITAJ STAFF WRITER

FLOAT SERVE

SHANE GRACE / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

UH ranks 18th in the nation in aces per set with a 1.34 average.

ANDREW SWITAJ STAFF WRITER

Whether it is a float or a spin, the serve is one of the keys to winning a game of volleyball. Despite the many forms of the serve that take place behind the line, each player has one thing in common, a routine.

“A lot of the serve is a routine.

In basketball, you shoot a free throw and a lot of the guys go back, and they spin the ball. It is a lot of the same thing in volleyball as I go back behind the line and go through my routine and aim for a specific spot and just serve,” senior captain Taylor Averill said.

Every routine for a player is different. Whether it means bouncing the ball, spinning it or taking a deep breath, the routine allows the player to remain focused when going behind the line.

Although serving can be paralleled to free throws, there is still more that can be said about knowing when to dish out a specific type of serve.

“I switch between the jump serve and the float to mix it up and stir up the pot. I try to float it really quick right when the referee blows the whistle, just to try to catch them off guard,” Averill said.

Even though a quick float serve may keep the opposing team on its toes, many times throughout the match it makes more sense to use a higher percentage serve to just keep the ball in play. For the Warriors, it depends on a couple of things: which player is in the front row and the other team’s offensive style.

“When we’re blocking well and Davis Holt is in the front row I have

to just try to get the ball in because he is such an incredible blocker,” Averill said.

Floating a ball during a serve is one way to achieve a higher percentage, but the other way is to take a little bit off of a jump serve.

For senior outside hitter Scott Hartley, knowing the type of offense helps him determine how to serve behind the line.

“We’ve done a really [good] job scouting teams lately and against opponents where we know where they’re going to set; that’s a moment when we know we want

the offensive attack. Even though it may be of a lower percentage, if the ball goes in it puts pressure on the opposing team.

“There might be a team where they’re diming [passing] balls and they have five options on offense; that’s when you want to serve your 70 mph ball,” Hartley said.

When a player goes on a serving run, the opposing coach may call a timeout to try and rattle or ice the player behind the serving line. The importance of remaining focused and going through the routine increases even more for the player.

I don’t want to go balls to the walls, [which is a] high error serve because as long as I keep the ball in we have a better chance of getting the point.

– SCOTT HARTLEY OUTSIDE HITTER

to keep the ball in,” Hartley said.

“Because we have a good enough blocking team where we know we can slow them down.”

Brook Sedore, Hendrik Mol and Hartley have all been known to serve the ball over 70 mph in the practice gym, but that still does not mean that every time they go behind the line the audience will get to see that high-speed serve.

“We still want to keep a decent serve in but I don’t want to go balls to the walls, [which is a] high error serve because as long as I keep the ball in we have a better chance of getting the point,” Hartley said.

However, the high-powered serve can still be effective against teams, especially those that are potent on

“Before a timeout or a normal serve during the game or after a side out, you don’t really need to think about it because your body is already adrenalized and you’re already warmed up,” Hartley said. “After a timeout, you haven’t jumped for a couple of minutes and your body is not as connected as usual so you’ve got to really emphasize the contact point in your serve.”

When playing against Pepperdine last week, Hartley noticed that he would rush through his routine whenever the Pepperdine coach called a timeout to try to rattle him. “[There was a] couple of times I missed the contact point in my serve because I wasn’t as focused

and I wasn’t going through my routine as much so I was hitting the ball lower than I should have,” Hartley said.

The contact point in a serve is what normally decides how the ball will find itself on the opposing end. A strong contact point with a firm wrist helps the ball float with no spin. However, a strong contact point with a snapping of the wrist means that there will be more topspin on the ball. The height at which the ball makes contact with the hand also helps determine the angle at which the ball is driven.

A coach calling timeout is not the only way to rattle a player behind the serving line. At an opposing gymnasium, the atmosphere for the Warriors can be filled with distractions, with the opposing fans heckling the servers. There are several techniques that players can use to block out all of the distractions.

“It takes a little time, and it comes of age. We practice with people yelling or talking to me or constantly try to distract me. But, when you go back to serve and you focus on something small and you’re really focused, you end up blocking a lot of it out,” Averill said.

The main theme remains the same throughout the different situations of serving. Keeping a solid routine can help a team succeed from the serving box.

“I think it helps to learn mentally to keep every repetition the same and try not to think about the score, the situation or having the coach ice you like that. It’s about keeping the same routine and going back there behind the line and serving the ball in,” Averill said.

A higher percentage serve where the server tries to limit the amount of spin on the ball. It can be difficult for passers to pass with the use of their forearms and can force them to set the ball off of the serve. This serve has a much faster approach than other serves and can move in unpredicted ways because of the lack of spin on the ball. Often used when the server wants to keep the ball in play. Look for Taylor Averill or Davis Holt behind the service line.

JUMP SPIN SERVE Tends to be a lower percentage serve where the server focuses on creating topspin on the ball to force the ball down at a faster speed. Although it has a more predictable pattern than the float serve, at higher speeds the serve can be more detrimental, forcing the opposing team to make quicker decisions in their passing. With an added jump, the serve becomes like an attacking motion.

Often used to put pressure on the opposing’s team offense. Look for Brook Sedore, Scott Hartley, Sinisa Zarkovic or Kupono Fey behind the service line.

HYBRID SERVE Has the toss of a jump float serve with the ball movement of a spin serve. The serve can be linked to that of a change-up pitch in baseball and can catch the players of the opposing team off guard. Previous Warriors volleyball player Nick West had this serve.

UNDERHAND SERVE A serve made for beginners where the contact of the ball is below the shoulder of the server. The underhand swing allows the ball to be lofted in the air and allows new volleyball players to easily achieve good contact with the ball.

The men’s volleyball team was in action this past week with a two game homestead against Hope International. Friday’s matchup saw the Warriors sweep the visiting side 25-15, 25-14, and 25-14. Saturday’s rematch was much of the same story as Friday, as Hawai‘i was able to get away with dropping the second set to Hope International with a four set victory, 25-12, 21-25, 25-10, 25-17.

The Rainbow Warrior baseball team opened its four game series against the University of Oklahoma this past Thursday night, losing by a score of 5-1. The Sooners were able to play stellar defense as they allowed just one run on a solo-home run from UH’s Kaeo Aliviado, who had then hit a home run in four consecutive games. UH was able to rebound on Friday, unending the Sooners in a gritty 2-1 victory.

Saturday’s game went down to the wire until the Sooners were able to take the game out of UH’s reach in extra innings, defeating the Warriors 8-5 in a 12 inning game.

The ‘Bows had a busy week at the Rainbow Wahine Softball Stadium as they played every day since last week Tuesday. The Wahine shutout East Carolina 5-0 to begin their week before losing 3-2 to Western Illinois in a failed last-inning comeback effort. The Wahine attempted to rebound from the loss on Thursday against Virginia Tech, but were once again unable to muster up enough offense, losing 3-1.

Unfortunately for the Wahine, their losing streak would only continue through the weekend. UH lost its third straight game to St. Bonaventure by a score of 2-1 Friday evening, and also dropped Saturday’s rematch against Virginia Tech 1-0. The Wahine’s four game losing streak saw them concede nine runs while only scoring four runs during that stretch.

The Rainbow Wahine tennis team was upended 6-1 by Southern Methodist University last week Thursday as SMU’s Dasha Sharapova and Vaszilisza Bulgakova pounced on UH’s Cindy Nguyen and Klara Pribylova, 7-5, while UH’s Martina Kostalova and Rebecca Faltusz fell to Holly Verner and Hristina Dishkova, 6-4.

However, the Wahine were able to win on Saturday for Senior Day, as UH edged Big West opponent Cal State Fullerton, 4-3. It was the final home match for two Rainbow Wahine – Martina Kostalova and Rebecca Faltusz.

THINGS TO DO OVER

SPRING BREAK

PHOTO ESSAY BY SHANE GRACE ASSOCIATE PHOTO EDITOR

 Hike on the Makapu‘u Tomtom

trail above Makapu‘u and the Sea Life Park. The Tomtom trail is named after the two Tom’s who discovered it: Tom McGuire and Tom Cadle, who rediscovered the trail that connects Waimānalo to the Ko‘olau Summit.  Bodysurf at Makapu‘u or Sandys,

two of the best body surfing places in O‘ahu. Sandy’s is known as one of the state’s most dangerous shore breaks according to TripAdvisor.

Jump off Spitting Caves or  China Walls. While you're there, try to see if you can spot a few whales.

Make sure to bring some sunscreen, there's no shade over here.

Go for a drive along O‘ahu’s  beautiful east side where you can see sights.
