UH Mānoa, UC Berkeley researchers map DNA’s first chemical bonds Researchers from the University of Hawai‘ i and the University of California, Berkeley, have recreated conditions that could have formed the first chemical bonds of DNA. Scientists from U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (Berkeley Lab) and the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa have published a paper that cosmic hot spots, such as those near stars, could be environments for the creation of nitrogen-containing molecular rings, key components for the building blocks of DNA. “This is the first time anyone’s looked at a hot reaction like this,” said Musahid Ahmed, scientist in the Chemical Sciences Division at Berkeley Lab. To recreate these cosmic hot spots, Ahmed, UH Mānoa professor of chemistry Ralf Kaiser and their team of colleagues used a device called a hot nozzle to simulate the pressures and temperatures in stellar environments of carbon-rich stars. The team discovered that gas first used in the hot nozzle transformed “into one made of the nitrogen-containing ring molecules called quinolone and isoquinoline, considered the next step up in terms of complexity.” Kaiser said the experiments provide evidence that the key molecules of quinolone and isoquinoline can be synthesized in these hot environments and then be ejected with the stellar wind to the interstellar medium – the space between stars. “Once ejected in space, in cold molecular clouds, these molecules can then condense on cold interstellar nanoparticles, where they can be processed and functionalized.” Kaiser said. “These processes might lead to more complex, biorelevant molecules such as nucleobases of crucial importance to DNA and RNA formation.”
Preparing for a new budget model Starting in a couple of months, the campus will allocate tuition to the colleges and schools based partly on the number of students they teach, the campus vice chancellor for academic affairs said May 5. Reed Dasenbrock spoke during the campus-wide conversation led by Chancellor Robert Bley-Vroman. The focus was on how the campus will move forward given its current fiscal situation. State funding for higher education has decreased dramatically since 2009, Bley-Vroman said, leaving the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa campus with a $60 million decrease. “We were not particularly quick to adapt to this new reality,” he said during the conversation. Bley-Vroman said that campus committee that has worked on researching and selecting a new budget allocation model has agreed on an interim model in less than a year.
“For us, it’s actually a radical change. It really is a huge difference,” he said. “It develops a philosophy of where tuition is, it’s not a simple matter, but tuition is being returned in some way that’s proportional to where those students are.” In addition, Dasenbrock said, the committee has also agreed on a phase one model, which the interim one would transition into, possibly in 2016. According to Bley-Vroman, the campus is not expecting a big increase in state funding. “We certainly did not succeed in getting tremendous increase this year in legislature,” he said. “So I think it would be unrealistic to assume that that’s going to increase.” The result of decreased state and public funding, according to Bley-Vroman, is that the campus has tens of millions of dollars less than it used to have to spend. “The idea has been to try to reign in spending enough so that things are relatively stable over the next couple of years so we don’t have to worry about going broke tomorrow and to use that period to begin the difficult task of reassessing where we are and where have to go in the future,” he said. He hopes that things will be more stable next year, giving the campus more time to think. But, that depends on two things: radically reigning in expenses and the current five-year tuition schedule not being completely reversed. He said conversations need to happen. “I will say that however we move forward, there are couple prerequisites: one is that faculty have to be clearly involved. The other is that ... most of those decisions are at least partly determined by the fields in question,” Bley-Vroman said.
Graduate students open scholarly articles to everyone Scholarly articles written by graduate students on campus are now available to anyone worldwide. According to a UH news release, the Graduate Student Organization (GSO) voted on April 23 to include the existing faculty Open Access policy, which would require students to make their articles available through the campus online repository ScholarSpace. GSO students worked with Hamilton Library to make this happen. “With the passing of this policy, UHM graduate students will now have free and open access to their work forever,” Heather Frey, GSO executive committee council chairwoman said, in the news release. “Often times graduate students are so consumed with getting their work published they do not consider the rights they are giving away. ScholarSpace will help protect graduate student’s rights to access their work even after it is published.” Campus faculty committed to making their research and scholarly works available in 2010.

Hawai‘ i moves to ban powdered alcohol ANDREAS LEVERS / FLICKR
Palcohol was created to satisfy the founder’s desire for a lightweight alternative alcohol. BIANCA SMALLWOOD SENIOR STAFF WRITER
The Hawai‘i Legislature has banned the sale and use of powdered alcohol, or Palcohol, with the passing of House Bill (HB) 348. According to developer Lipsmark LLC’s website, Palcohol was created by Mark Phillips and is a powder form of alcohol in which the consumer can mix the substance with water to make a beverage. The site goes on to say that when used as directed, the mixture is the equivalent to a regular mixed drink. HB 348’s companion Senate Bill 550 was introduced by Senators Glen Wakai, Lorraine Inouye, Gil Riviere, Sam Slom and Brian Taniguchi. The bills state that no person can consume, purchase or sell powdered alcohol in the state. If any-
one were caught with powdered alcohol, they would be found guilty of a misdemeanor. Testimony in favor of the bill’s

passing cited concerns of use by youth, perhaps in capsule form or through insufflation. ALCOHOL ON CAMPUS
While the legislature wants to ban the mixture before it gets to Hawai‘i, people such as Sarah Rice, Department of Public Safety community programs manager said in a phone interview that although
been alcohol-based offenses at UH Mānoa, powdered alcohol has not been an issue. “We had one underage drinking offense in 2014 at [the] Stan Sherriff Center and so far this year we’ve had one underage drinking offense at the baseball field during a game,” Rice said. “Otherwise we’ve had no other reported alcohol offenses.”
UH Mānoa Student Housing Director Michael Kaptik said in an email interview that while there have been no powdered alcohol related instanced on campus that they are aware of, if students were to be caught with the product, the repercussions would be the same as if it were a regular alcohol product. Rice also said that she thinks the substance would be hard to trace if it were ever used by a student. “If someone was using powdered alcohol … it would be so hard to know,” Rice said. “We don’t know what it smells like, I imagine it’s different in some ways, who knows what those ways are but you can usually tell when someone has alcohol.” ACROSS THE NATION

Graduate works open to the public RAVEN BELLAMY SENIOR STAFF WRITER
Graduate students at the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa will have free access to their work under a motion approved by their governing body on campus. In addition to allowing all UH Mānoa graduate students free and open access to their work forever, the motion, passed by UH’s Graduate Student Organization (GSO) will make graduate work available to the public. GSO approved the motion April 23, which requires students to make their scholarly articles publicly available through UH Mānoa’s online repository, ScholarSpace. “Often times graduate students are so consumed with getting their work published they do not consider the rights they are giving away,” said GSO Executive Academic Chair Heather Frey, in an email interview. “ScholarSpace will help protect graduate student’s rights to access their work even after it is published.”
OPEN ACCESS
Open Access stands for unrestricted access and unrestricted reuse, according to POLS.org. A similar policy allowed Mānoa faculty Open Access in December 2012. That year, Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Reed Dasenbrock said in a memorandum that UH’s commitment to Open Access ensures access that is digital, free of charge to the user, free of most copyright restrictions and is disseminated over the Internet. “The Internet gives us the opportunity to bring research information to a global audience at virtually no marginal cost,” UH Mānoa Librarian Jennifer Beamer said. “This has resulted in a call for a new framework to allow research results to be more easily accessed and used – the call for Open Access.” According to Beamer, the current research communication system is restrictive because research results are not available to the full community of potential users. The only people who have access to costly databases are those that attend the university.
“Over the past decade, Open Access has become central to advancing the interests of researchers, scholars, students, businesses, and the public – as well as librarians,” Beamer said. Open Access requires authors to give the country a nonexclusive license to exercise the copyright of their students and faculties scholarly articles as long as the authors are attributed and not sold for a profit. Graduate students and faculty can opt-out of Open Access by signing a waiver. PROTECTING PUBLISHING RIGHTS
According to Frey, most American universities retain the copyright on all works of their students and faculty members, a fact most people are unaware of. “Most graduate students do not realize they are releasing all copyrights, i.e. ownership, when they sign publishing contracts,” Frey said. Frey said that this policy gives graduate students the ability to put their work (before it is published) into an Open Access
database where they can access it indefinitely. SCHOLARSPACE
Researchers at UH have made their works available in the UH Mānoa ScholarSpace Open Access repository. According to the 2012 faculty Open Access Policy, ScholarSpace is the institutional repository for the UH Mānoa and is an online, open-access archive of the university’s scholarly output. “It is made available to the communities here in Hawai‘ i that need it most, and allows greater visibility for our research worldwide,” Beamer said. Institutions that support research are increasingly implementing policies that require researchers to make articles that report on research generated from their funding openly accessible to and fully useable by the public and the communities that would not otheriwse have access to this research. What do you think? Let us know @KaLeoOHawaii
Carolina and Vermont have already moved to ban Palcohol from being used and distributed, the company states on their website that they feel that state legislators are limiting the people and businesses who want the product’s freedom of choice. They also said that the ban is not about public safety as the legislatures claim it to be because if it were, liquid alcohol would be banned as well. Some concerns that state Legislatures have is that people may use it in other ways such as snorting the powder or combining it with other alcoholic products causing people’s health and safety to be at risk. They are also concerned that it may affect restaurant and bar businesses. Ka Leo O Hawai‘i MORE INFO
FOUR PRIMARY COMPONENTS TO ENABLING OPEN ACCESS ▪ Open Access Publishing: Articles are free to all interested readers, and the publishers place no financial or copyright barriers between the readers and the article. ▪ Digital Repositories: Authors deposit their research articles into digital archives which enable readers to freely access and fully reuse the article text. ▪ Effectively Managed Author Rights: Authors of a research paper control content distribution. ▪ Local, National and International Open Access Policies: Institutions that support research can implement effective policies that that support making Open Access to scholarly research articles the default mode for their researchers.

hitting anything that could damage the sub, Kerby said. As Pisces V reached the bottom, the sonar stopped working so he was blind. “As a long time pilot you develop this sense, so we went old school,” Kerby said. He added that prior to sonar, a submarine pilot would have to look around slowly and carefully by seeing with the naked eye. Without the sonar, he was able to see the hangar door sitting at the bottom of the ocean floor. He went on and found the hangar and conning tower sitting on its side completely intact. This is the area where he had also found the submarine bell. “This is a great find for UH, but the I-23 would be the ultimate find,” Kerby said. The team’s survey also included a video of the submarine’s hanger and conning tower.
UH finds missing mega-sub bell
COURTESY OF TERRY KERBY
The I-400 submarine was sunk at the end of World War II. MARCOS DUPREYIRAOLA STAFF WRITER
University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa submarines found a missing Japanese World War II era mega-submarine bell that was lost almost 69 years ago. Director of Facilities and Submarine Operations for the Hawai‘i Undersea Research Laboratory (HURL) Terry Kerby said that finding the bell from the I-400 submarine, sunk in 1946 by torpedoes from the USS Trumpetfish, was a great find for his team. “It was remarkable to find the I-400 sub bell since we did not know where it was,” Kerby said.
LOCATING THE MISSING BELL
HURL used its Pisces IV and V submarines to locate the missing bell, which was once hung on the submarine’s conning tower and served the purpose of sounding alert. The World War II-era Imperial Japanese Navy mega-submarine was in discovered December 2013 by a HURL and U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) team. Kerby worked with Hans Van Tilburg, the maritime heritage coordinator for the Pacific Islands Regional Office of the National Marine Sanctuaries Program (NMSP) with NOAA, to survey the
SAPFB updates official documents KEVIN DENEEN SENIOR STAFF WRITER
The Student Activity and Program Fee Board (SAPFB) revised its charter proposal and general criteria documents to be more up to date with current policies and titles at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. On May 5, the board approved both the charter and general criteria documents with all amendments proposed. SAPFB Chairperson Robert Green said in an email interview that the documents will go through internal channels to be signed off by the director of Student Life and Development (SLD), the vice chancellor for students and the chancellor. The documents will then be ratified and SAPFB will be governed by these documents.
OVERDUE CHANGES
Green said during an April 30 public hearing that the operating documents are still the same as they were in 1982 and were last revised in 1990. SAPFB is going through and making corrections to a lot of UH organizations names and titles of officials at UH. “It’s one of these things were the can just got kicked down the road even more, so we are trying to be more proactive and trying to get it finalized,” Green said during the meeting. Green said the previous documents contained a lot of typos and some antiquated language. The documents also contained obsolete practices that have not been revised since the early 80s and 90s. Green also added that the documents have been lacking information on how and why SAPFB functions the way it does.

The I-23 submarine’s mission was to come to O‘ahu and stay hidden 10 miles south of Pearl Harbor and report on weather and ship traffic, Kerby said. The I-23 was there on Feb. 14, 1942 and transmitted signals eight times until Feb. 28 before it

was never heard from again. He said there is no report of anti-submarine warfare in the area so the sub must have had some type of failure. The I-23 is still out there with 96 people on board and it would be great to bring closure to the families, Kerby said. A LACK OF FUNDING
For Pisces IV and V to go out into the water it costs $48,000 a day, Kerby said, adding that HURL has been having issues in getting funding for dives throughout the years. “It is important that those artifacts that have been found need to be monitored,” Kerby said. He added that many companies that want to search the ocean floor don’t want to pay to go to sites where there’s a chance of them only finding rock formations, rather than artifacts. He added that the program ran out of money in 2012. In 2013 UH put the HURL submarines up for sale and laid off part of the crew. Kerby has been piecing together sub dives with NHK, NOAAs maritime heritage program. This had been keeping the program going but it cannot be sustained this way for too long, he said. “Sen. Inouye believed that Hawai‘ i should be the leader in the western Pacific in deepwater explorations. He gave us a chance to show what we could do with a sub operation,” Kerby said. He believes that it is important to have this capability here in Hawai‘i. What do you think? Let us know @KaLeoOHawaii

El Niño prediction breakthrough Scientists create a program that can predict seasonal climates up to three years CLIMATE SAFETY / FLICKR
The UH Mānoa SOEST department is making breakthroughs with climate prediction software. NICOLE DAVIS SENIOR STAFF WRITER
Scientists from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa have coordinated with scientists from Japan, Australia and California to create a computer simulation that can predict climate changes up to three years. “I began working on this project about five years ago, when I was working in Japan. Then when I moved to UH Mānoa, I continued to work on it here with the university,” said Yoshimitsu Chikamoto, postdoctoral fellow at the International Pacific Research Center. Until now, there has been no software available in the scientific community that would be able to predict what climate changes would look like up to three years. A total of nine scientists collaborated together to create this computer simulation. Thanks to this new simulation, precautions can be taken ahead of time before large climate changes happen. “Our international research team, spearheaded by Yoshi Chikamoto,
worked on this study for about one year, but the original climate model simulations date back a few years,” Axel Timmermann, professor of Oceanography at UH Mānoa said. The model simulations were conducted on supercomputers in Japan and generated a large amount of data that the group had to analyze. “Teasing out from terabytes of digital data that tropical climate variability is partly driven by the Atlantic and showing that this interactions leads to some enhanced predictive skill on timescales of several years was an interesting challenge for all of us,” Timmermann said. He added that developing the software was “an interesting challenge” for all those involved. THE BENEFITS
Chikamoto said the climate prediction software will be helpful for estimating weather problems such as the California drought. California is a large supplier of food and produce for the Hawaiian islands and the current
drought the state is facing will directly impact Hawai‘ i’s ecology. Chikamoto explained that the computer simulation that he and his colleagues created will be able to provide information in the
Precautions can be taken ahead of time before large climate changes happen. future about the status of the California drought, so Hawai‘ i’s ecology can adapt. EL NIÑO
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), El Niño is a climate phenomenon where warm ocean temperatures occur in the Equatorial Pacific. El Niño can cause weather consequences across the entire globe. Timmermann said that the El Niño can affect Hawai‘ i’s rainfall
and wave conditions considerably, depending on the type, and influence other storms across the globe. “An El Niño Modoki can develop into a classical Eastern Pacific El Niño, which influences rainfall and wave conditions in Hawai‘ i considerably,” Timmermann said. “This is in fact happening right now.” He added that the El Niño Modoki conditions that Hawai‘i had in March and April 2015 transition into an Eastern Pacific El Niño, mostly likely causing enhanced rainfall in summer and drought conditions in winter. Timmermann said that with this study, scientists can predict for the first time one particular flavor of El Niño several years in advance. Chikamoto also noted that understanding and predicting the El Niño can benefit Hawai‘i because the change in sea levels that occur during the El Niño can have detrimental effects on the coral reef ecosystems in Hawai‘ i.

New proposal supports reducing student debt But measure seems unlikely to pass this year HENDRICKS HICKS CONTRIBUTING WRITER
A resolution that supports efforts to make higher education more affordable still awaits hearing by a congressional committee. United States Sen. Brian Schatz introduced Senate Resolution 143, which supports efforts that ensure students will leave college debt free. Each state will be provided support for investments that will reduce the cost of education and increase financial aid so that students don’t have to take on debt. “A higher education is the best way for people to move up the economic ladder, but the rising cost of college in Hawai‘i and across the country has made it harder for students to earn a degree and
get ahead,” Schatz said in a press release. “Our message is clear: we need to do more to make college more affordable for all students so that they can graduate without debt holding them back.”

Senate Resolution 143 also plans on reducing current student debt, which is currently at $1.14 billion dollars, according to Federal Student Aid, more than double what it was less than a decade ago. On govtrack. us, the bill is currently projected to has zero chance of being agreed to. “The federal government, states and schools all have a role to play in cutting the cost of college,” Schatz said. “This is a problem we can solve, and we can start by working to make sure institutions receiving

Center, the leading cause for students not to re-enroll were due to tuition and fees not being affordable. “I don’t think my tuition dollars are used properly. I honestly don’t think we need to spend so much money on administration,” Iliana
Argyris, a freshman in mechanical engineering, said. “You can get a great education from a community college which is more affordable.” Some univerisities are now offering their course work online for free. Some examples include Yale, MIT, Stanford and Harvard, though they are not worth any credits. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, college graduates with a bachelor degree earn 60 percent more than compared to a high school graduate, and are 58 percent less likely to be unemployed. “A college degree is worth it because the job market is really competitive and favors people who have degrees over people who have a lot of experience and no degree,” Argyris said.

Aloha Bash should still go on Though the Campus Center Board Activities Council (CCBAC) at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa called the end-of-the-year celebration off for various reasons, the board could have called upon student resources to support the show instead of canceling the event altogether. The Aloha Bash has been happening with impressive consistency since its 2004 debut. However, Sarah Yap, director of Student Events and Campus Life Services, said in an interview with Ka Leo that the show would be unable to go on. She did not go into detail about the reasons for the concert’s cancellation. As recently as March 9, though, CCBAC had even set a tentative CHONG JIN date of May 8 for the send-off.

Making amends State should reimburse wrongly imprisoned
SOURCE: ISTOCK
2013 was the year with the greatest number of exonerations on record: 87. LEGAL DEVELOPMENTS
Hawai‘ i is one of twenty states that do not provide compensation to wrongfully imprisoned inmates. Lawmakers, however, are looking to change that. House bill (HB) 148 seeks to provide compensation and services to the wrongfully convicted and follows federal law in promising at least $50,000 compensation per year of incarceration. HB148 and the deferred SB145 have been met with opposition from the Hawaii Paroling Authority (HPA). In its testimony, the state agency says the measure would cause a “chilling effect” on pardoning because of the increased cost. HPA also challenges the provision included to provide lifetime health care along with monetary compensation on the grounds that it would be too expensive.
It’s telling that even opponents of the bill do not dispute that compensating those who have languished in jail due to miscarriage of justice is the right thing to do. Their objections relate to the effects of the proposed legislation – its impact on state budget and consequently on the decisions made by state officials. A MONEY-SAVING MEASURE
In the long run, however, giving this sort of compensation could be the smart budgetary choice. Many states only compensate former inmates if they agree not to sue the state, and if Hawai‘ i follows their example, the state will avoid lawsuits that could potentially cost millions of dollars each. A compensation policy will also have a beneficial effect on prosecu-
tors and police, encouraging them to be more honest and thorough. Juries don’t make multimillion-dollar damage awards just for getting the facts wrong; those cases tend to involve misconduct and negligence, a far too common problem in our justice system, and one that we should act to minimize. Reducing false convictions in the first place is surely superior to pardons and exoneration, which themselves cost time and money. The net cost of compensation is less than it appears at first glance. Released prisoners often lack easy access to jobs and health care, which means they would be relying on government social services. Indeed, newly freed inmates are likely to have many immediate needs for their compensation money, which means that money will function as a government stimulus. JUSTICE SHOULD BE SERVED
Whatever the economic effects of the measure, however, the heart of the issue is still that people have been harmed by losing irreplaceable years of their lives. They have missed opportunities, given up on dreams and relationships. Our justice system has actually dealt them an injustice. In the long term, the ideal solution would be to put fewer people in prison in the first place, and to change our society so we have less crime and incarceration. The U.S. has the second highest incarceration rate in the world (after The Seychelles), which means that 200 other countries are examples of what we could do better. But until then, there is nothing to be gained from being heartless to the innocent.

Is the parking structure fire safe? Mānoa’s outdated fire extinguisher tags raise concerns This is having it backwards. It makes no sense for the office of FSP to know that all the extinguishers work while the general public is unaware fire extinguishers past their expiration date or marked “unsatisfactory” are actually functional. The pennies that FSP saves are not worth students’ anxiety over basic safety regulations. “Getting in and out of [the parking structure] can get hectic sometimes. This would be the worst place for a fire,” UH Mānoa student Joshua-Michael Tomiyama said. “If I had to let my car burn, because I didn’t know that the tags were lying, who would pay for it? The school?” Tomiyama, who often parks in the structure near the athletic complex, became concerned after hearing about the outdated tags. Others are worried too: the KHON2
report was initiated by an anonymous tip on their website. The reality is that people expect fire extinguisher safety tags to indicate the date the devices were last inspected regardless what FSP thinks they are for. FSP nevertheless is clear that those who park in the structure are expected to know how to operate the extinguishers, as evident from signs in the building. The structure is unfortunately one of the several areas on campus fire trucks wouldn’t be able to access, so such knowledge on the part of its users could be potentially life-saving. The policy can also be found on the UH Mānoa Environmental Health and Safety Office (EHSO) website. Ironically, the fire extinguisher training video the site links to has been down since Nov. 17,
2014, adding another issue that the FSP has failed to update. Following the report, EHSO director Roy Takekawa issued a statement assuring of FSP’s annual inspection and tagging of about 2,500 portable extinguishers at Mānoa. “The fire extinguishers that were reported to have expired tags had undergone testing, but had not completed the entire inspection and replacement process,” Takekawa said. He also said that by April 13, all fire extinguishers throughout campus were updated with current inspection tags. Even though the tags are now replaced, it doesn’t excuse the fact that they were neglected for so long. UH students and staff have the right to know whether or not fire extinguishers work.

Spending a day in the beach with a drink in your hand is one option. HANA AH YOU STAFF WRITER
Anyone is capable of wasting precious study time, but it takes a true (rainbow) warrior to procrastinate in a way that elicits feelings of fear, envy and high-blood pressure in fellow classmates. As a seasoned procrastinator (who once wrote a 16-page paper in the final two hours before it was due), I am taking it upon myself to pass on my wisdom to the next generation of procrastinators. Here are suggestions for when studying is the last thing you want to do. 1. Day-drink your way around the island while spending all of your money. Take a sober designated driver and start the day at Wai‘olu at the Trump International Hotel infinity pool. Migrate to RumFire in Sheraton Waikiki and feast on kalua pork nachos paired with a carafe of ginger lilikoi mojito. Hit up Kahala Hotel & Resort to sip from a pineapple and jump off the floating dock. End the day at Surfer The Bar in the Turtle Bay Resort with hurricane fries and calamari to soak up some of the booze. Extra points for replenishing with a glass of water. 2. Spring clean. Pick up everything off of the floor, throw away trash, do the dishes and make your bed. Go through notebooks from the school year and recycle used papers. Go through the closet and get rid of things that don’t fit or has not been worn in the past year. 3. Read an entire book series. Suggestions: “Harry Potter,” “The Lord
of the Rings” or “A Song of Ice and Fire” (inspiration for the “Game of Thrones” television series). Never stop reading. Choosing to do school-related reading does not count as procrastination and will be seen as a lack of dedication to the task at hand. Alternatively, read every book in an author’s collection. Suggestions: Stephen King, Agatha Christie or R.L. Stine. 4. Learn party basics and avoid embarrassment at the next shindig you attend. Ask YouTube how to shotgun a beer, do a keg-stand, play Oasis’ “Wonderwall” on guitar, twerk, open a wine bottle with a knife or breathe fire. 5. Go to cooking school and learn how to make a five-course meal. Have a sit-down dinner party for friends and family and then drop the class before it is finals week and you have to procrastinate within your procrastination. Procrastination inception is only for those of the highest skill-level, and should be attempted with the greatest caution. 6. Challenge yourself to complete an entire series on Netflix. This is the big leagues now, so be ambitious. Finishing the 13 episode-long first season of “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” is not an accomplishment to be proud of. Strive for something more like “Dexter,” “Lost,” “Supernatural,” “Grey’s Anatomy” or “Doctor Who.” The goal is to forget what it feels like to not be watching Netflix. Ka Leo O Hawai‘i
2. What class will your hardest final be in? A. Some gen ed that I never showed up to. B. I’m only taking one class. C. I can’t decide, they are all just as bad. D. O chem. Hopefully the third time is a charm. 3. Which word best describes your major? A. Fun B. Dream C. Confusing D. Hell 4. How do you handle the day after drinking? A. Must sleep all day. B. What’s a hangover? C. Work can’t get in the way of this party animal. D. I just never stop drinking. I don’t want to deal with anything. 5. What was the highlight of your school year? A.

Finals week doesn’t seem to be too much of a struggle for you this year, and that sounds like something to celebrate. Get yourself a mai tai and start your finals feeling refreshed – you completed a semester and deserve it. The vitamins from the orange juice will help energize you after the long night of studying partying you had. MOSTLY Bs - CROWN ROYAL Your success and luck this semester is envied by all your friends. You deserve to give yourself a break but you’re still going to give your all until your last final. Treat yourself to a glass of Crown Royal on the rocks before finals to calm your nerves while your friends continue to scramble and cram.
MOSTLY Cs - WINE You experienced quite a lot this semester, which means you might experience your first all-nighter during finals week. Have a glass of wine before to take the edge off, but not too much because you need to study. Try a glass between every final! Aren’t there studies that say wine is good for you or something? MOSTLY Ds - BACARDI 151 Sounds like you’ve had a rough semester, and finals week is no exception. You don’t have time to pregame for too long so how about a shot of Bacardi 151. Rum containing 75.5 percent alcohol will do the trick. You deserve a break from school, and that break may be found inside of a glass bottle.
2015 FINALS AND GRAD SPECIAL ISSUE

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Dear Reader, This is it, guys. We have completed yet another school year. For those of you who are finishing your first year of college – congratulations, you did it. Things only get worse from here. For those who are finally graduating – congratulations, you did it. Things only get worse from here. We still have to slog through finals week, but then we will be released into the liberating summer months. Some will have internships, others will job hunt and still others will binge-watch their lives away on Netflix. I think we all know who is making the right choice. Alas, these five days of finals will be long ones, and some may not be certain of what they will be doing with their sunny summer days. Once again, we here at Ka Leo are here to help you. By procrastinating on our other work, we here at Ka Leo have put together the final special issue of the school year. This guide will serve a variety of purposes, ranging from suggesting summer events to providing study strategies. Although finals week is brutal, we want you to look and feel your best during these trying times, even if that equates to sweat pants and 12 cups of coffee. We also want to help those who are entering the “real world” by giving tips on what to do during an internship, or how to handle living on the mainland for the first time. Ultimately, survival is up to you, but we will try to assist you with this guide as best we can. To give you a taste of what is available in this issue and online, here is a preview of some of our articles in the Finals & Grad issue. “Fill in the Blank” will help you figure out what to do with a gap year, should you choose to take one. “Project X Grad Party” is useful for those throwing a graduation party. For those of you moving away, or who know people who are leaving, “Keeping in Touch after Graduation” will give you tips on how to keep in touch. If you are trying to think of new ways to keep your mind from exploding while studying, “Being Relaxed and Productive” provides several relaxation pointers.

THE GLOBAL TRIAL
STUDENTS AROUND THE WORLD ARE STRUGGLING WITH FINALS CHRISTINA YAN ASSOCIATE SPECIAL ISSUES EDITOR
The annual ritual of last minute, high anxiety cramming for finals season, only complete with the smell of coffee and Red Bull, has finally bestowed itself upon students at the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa. While students prepare for their last exams until the fall, students around the world are facing the same stress during their final weeks at school. Finals season is taxing for everyone around the world, not just for students at UH. The fact that universities around the world invite therapy dogs to campus during exam times as a stress reliever speaks for itself.
AUSTRALI A
GERMANY
Australia’s undergraduate program is a minimum of three years of full-time study. Just like in America, students often get a study week before exams that can last until June. The examination period can stretch from just a week to an entire month depending on when finals are scheduled. However, students often don’t know their timetable for their exams until around the ninth week of the semester.
While each final exam varies distinctly with one’s major in Germany, the typical examination period relies more on papers than exams. Exams are often given in the first year, then students transition into writing more and longer papers in their second and final third year. However, if given exams, students often also give presentations in class as well as write papers during their semester break.
CHINA
Chinese students are often seen in the last few weeks of college studying furiously at libraries and cafes around their campuses. With no study week or break before finals, students have class until the last week before exams. Students are often required to take hand-written exams, with 1000s of characters, in a twohour period. These final exams make a huge impact on whether students pass their courses, as they count for 60 to 70 percent of students’ grades. Often, the final exam and one other paper are the only evaluated parts of students’ efforts in a course.
U NIT ED STAT ES
E NGLAND
The United States holds final exams at the end of each semester or quarter period. Typically universities will give students a week, referred to as “Dead Week,” to prepare for their exams. While finals may give students a sense of fear, not all grades are dependent on those scores, with some exams only being around 25 percent of a student’s grade. Although professors often tell students to not procrastinate throughout the year and to avoid writing essays the night before, they then expect students to finish an entire paper in two hours during final exams.
In England, students do not take exams each semester; instead, finals are cumulative and do not begin until May. Students have a month long break before the exam process to study for classes from the fall and spring. After the break, the examination period lasts for a month with students preparing final projects, exams and papers. This system works well in England because every student retainins and uses the information he or she was given throughout the entire year. All classes pertain to students’ majors, as England has no general education courses. Students in England’s university system are only in their undergraduate for three years.

Finals are here. Now is the time to ask the important questions. The important questions are not, “How much coffee should I drink before my final?” or “What am I doing with my life?” No. The most crucial question that one should ask before embarking on this week of awful is, “What am I going to wear to my finals?”
FASHION FINALS FOR
INTIMIDATION IS KEY
NICOLYN CHARLOT SPECIAL ISSUES EDITOR
You didn’t study much, but that’s okay. Dress up in professional clothing and walk into class like you already have a successful internship that you need to get to after you ace this exam. Everyone else will be so threatened by your outfit that they will panic and do poorly. Even if you don’t do so hot on the exam, your grade will be saved by the curve produced by your professional attire.
COMFY COMFY ALTER EGO Wear a tuxedo to your final. You are Bruce Wayne. You do not need to worry about your grades because you are a multi-billionaire who owns his own corporation and is also Batman. Grades are insignificant compared to crime in Gotham. Prioritize. Ladies, you are also Bruce Wayne, so wear a tux. Or a bat suit.
You studied in sweatpants and the T-shirt that you may or may not have ever washed. You have not changed in days. You may never change. You don’t know anymore because all you know is how doomed you are for your exams. Why should you bother changing? It won’t matter anyways. Just show up to your exam in the one outfit that makes you feel comfortable, and hope that it will be there to comfort you when you learn your GPA the next week. It probably won’t, but the thought is nice. Don’t worry about your classmates judging you for wearing sweats to your exam — they’re too focused on their own failures to care.
LISTEN TO SCIENCE Context-dependent memory is the phenomenon when a person is better able to remember information when he or she is in the same context that he or she learned the information in. In other words, take the exam in the same type of environment you studied in. Some may interpret this as studying in silence if taking the exam in silence, or hoping that the exam will take place in the regular classroom. Or, instead, why not wear the same clothes to your exam that you studied in? For the best results, anyone with a Friday exam should wear the same outfit all week, that way the memories triggered are strong, just like the body odor you will have.

A GUIDE TO RESCHEDULING YOUR FINALS ANGUSINA CAMPBELL

ABOVE THE LIMIT
SCHEDULE CONFLICT
LEAVING EARLY
Some professors may be sympathetic if you have more than two finals on the same day, so talk to them and see if something can be arranged. To avoid this problem next year, compare your class schedule to the final exam times. Professors are more likely to work with you if you take initiative to change your final exams early in the semester.
Since exam times are scheduled according to class start times, a time conflict is uncommon. However, certain classes like business, oceanography and math have common finals, given at an arbitrary time, and you might have two or more exams that start at the same time or overlap. If this is the case, meet with your professors or email them to reschedule your non-common final(s).
Your last final is on Thursday, but you could only get a flight for Wednesday. Professors are more likely to let you reschedule an exam if you take it earlier than everyone else. Try to find classmates in the same predicament as you and contact your professor as a group. The more people that are unable to take the exam, the more likely he or she is to accommodate your request.

THE FINAL COUNTDOWN CHRISTINA YAN ASSOCIATE SPECIAL ISSUES EDITOR
For those who need a little indie and electronic playing in the background while they’re studying; this mix should help you not only power through those hours, but feel better in the end. If indie and electronic isn’t the way you would typically go, listening to any Hans Zimmer soundtrack should do it.

THE CAPPUCCINO It is difficult to describe a cappuccino. A cappuccino is a dry latte (a latte with extra foam). This gives it the creamy richness you need, and the caffine you crave. However, I would describe it as a middle-aged, tweed-jacketed individual reading Mark Twain in the afternoon rain. As these two descriptions suggest, a cappuccino can be sipped in leisure at the library during a study group, or chugged prior to a grueling final. For me, the best cappuccino is small, extra dry, 140 degrees and with whole milk.
What’s your drink of choice? Your coffee drink of choice, that is. Are you looking for a punch in the face that gets your blood pumping and muscles working no matter what you are putting your body through? A quad-shot Americano perhaps? Or maybe you go classic hardcore and drink dark roast black like a champ? Whatever drink you choose to keep you caffeinated, you will be drinking a lot of it during finals. There are multiple locations on campus to slake your coffee thirst and many creative ways to make that special drink enjoyable. Below is a list of both classic and new ways to enjoy liquid gold.
THE BLENDED-ICYSUGARY THING Most coffee shops have a version of the Starbucks Frappuccino. The drink probably comes in multiple versions of chocolate-caramel-strawberry something. It is great for hot weather or a special treat, but, unless adding a shot, the drink is likely mostly sugar and not much caffeine. If a sugar rush is your thing, I recommend a drink of this nature.

THE LATTE
DOUBLE SHOT VANILLA CHAI LATTE
As a barista, I can tell you two things about a latte. First, it is the simplest of all espresso and milk combinations, being that it is exactly that, espresso and milk. Second, any other combinations of milk and espresso are just lattes with a different ratio of milk, foam, sweetened additive, and sometimes a different cup. Milk softens the bitterness of espresso, while effectively delivering caffeine, creating a larger drink and producing a longer enjoyment experience. Lattes are good, hot or cold, and they are perfect for long library hours. I take my latte with whole milk, 160 degrees, double shot in a medium mug with a bit of brown sugar.
In the world of baristas, a chai latte with espresso in it is known as a dirty hippie. The person who recently turned me on to this particular beverage is far from being a hippie, though his drink choice might say otherwise. This drink makes me feel like my inner child took a trip to a place with elephants and flowers for Christmas. In other words, I’m bouncing all over the place, giggling and enjoying being alive. This drink provides a way for me to stay awake and create a short-lived place of happiness while I slowly lose my mind during finals.
ESPRESSO
THE REST
Straight espresso is good for bursts of energy, like right before an exam you feel confident about. The drawback is the inevitable crash, making the drink useless for long stretches of mental exercise. Also, a good shot of espresso is hard to come by. A large number of factors contribute to a good shot: time since roasting, water temperature, extraction time and quality of the bean. If effect, not taste, is what you are concerned about, choose espresso.
Drink what will help you stay awake for finals. Besides the classics, there are many other ways to drink coffee. Mochas (or adult hot chocolates, as I call them) are good, hot or iced. Cortadas, café con leches and pour-overs are excellent ways to consume coffee. There are non-caffeinated options, as well. For example, you could try a hot chocolate (extra whipped cream, extra chocolate and as big as possible, thank you very much.) Tea is also an option, and both caffeinated and non-caffeinated options exist. I recommend Earl Grey, a black tea with a hint of bergamot, which gives it a smooth spicy flavor.

KEEPING IN TOUCH AFTER GRADUATION
CARPE ANNUM MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR LAST YEAR
FILE PHOTO / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
IVY LEI STAFF WRITER
Graduating from college is one of the biggest accomplishments in life, but it comes with many painful goodbyes. Luckily with our technology-driven culture, keeping in touch with college friends is a piece of cake. While you may not talk as often, it’s crucial to realize true friendships aren’t defined by how often you communicate. Nonetheless, maintaining long-distance friendships does require effort from both sides. There are various ways to keep in touch, and below are several suggestions for success in maintaining friendships over distance and time.
SOURCE: FREEPIK
SNAIL MAIL OR SEND PACKAGES While handwriting a letter or sending packages may seem a little old-fashioned in our technology-dependent society, going the extra mile shows that you put more thought into maintaining a valuable friendship. Handwritten letters undoubtedly have more sentimental value than text messages. Packages can be a reminder of how well you and your friends know each other.
VIDEO CHAT OR VIRTUALLY HANGOUT For many people, simply liking statuses and posting short comments here and there is not sufficient to maintain emotional closeness in a friendship. If both sides are willing to prioritize the friendship and work through any time differences, then setting a time to video chat via Facetime, Skype or ooVoo once every week or month will help keep you updated on each other’s lives. This can give you the laughs and encouragements you need. The website rabb.it allows you to simultaneously video chat and virtually hang out together online.
UTILIZE SOCIAL MEDIA Through the use of sites like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, you can receive updates about each other’s lives. Exciting and major life events are usually publicly announced these days. Even if you don’t have time to call and chat for hours, you can spare a few minutes to read a status and maybe even write a comment to let them know you’re happy for them from afar.
HAYLEY MUSASHI STAFF WRITER
It may seem too soon to be planning for your graduation, but time flies when you’re in college. Making the most of your final months can really make all the difference as you prepare to walk across that stage.
TAKE IN YOUR SURROUNDINGS
MAKE CONNECTIONS
INTERNSHIPS
Many people appreciate the unique beauty Hawai‘ i has to offer. However, for those entering the job market or going to the mainland, the days during which we are free to romp these stunning landscapes are numbered. Traveling to a neighbor island for an extended weekend is a great way to explore beyond the familiar island of O‘ahu.
In your final year of school, it is of the utmost importance to get your name out there in your respective job market. As O‘ahu is such a tight-knit community, it is vital that you begin to build relationships, because whom you know can be just as useful as what you know. Your classmates could eventually be your coworkers, so make sure to stay on good terms and don’t be afraid to reach out and ask for advice.
We are all slaving away and scouring through our textbooks to make the grade, but many employers look at a prospective employee’s experience more than his or her transcripts. Employers want to know that you can thrive in a work environment and have gained the necessary skills to excel in your field – a classroom setting does not always provide that experience. Apply for as many internships related to your field as possible.
FIND YOUR PASSION
PUT TOGETHER A RÉSUMÉ
HAVE FUN
You’ve spent the last several years and thousands of dollars taking these stressful courses with a career plan in mind, but do you actually know what you want to do? Graduation day is fast approaching, but what comes next? Go over your options, whether they be traveling the world, heading straight into the workforce or moving back home with your mom and dad.
Take a moment and think about all you accomplished during your college career. Look back on everything relevant that you were involved in that is relevant to your career goals and write down what you remember. The Mānoa Career Center holds several excellent seminars on how to write a stellar cover letter and résumé, and the staff is willing to help you create one that will help you stand out from the crowd.
PLAN A REUNION Ultimately, a long-distance friendship will still be different from one within close proximity. Planning a reunion requires effort because it challenges both sides to plan and save money for the trip. However, being reunited with a good friend is a wonderful experience because you have learned to not take proximity for granted. Agree to visit a place you both have always dreamed of exploring together, and take pictures (especially embarrassing ones) so you can spam each other’s Facebook walls for the upcoming birthdays you may not be celebrating together. REMEMBER
There may be times when you feel that it would be a little weird to start a conversation with someone you haven’t spoken to in ages, but sometimes a simple hello will lead to a deep heart-to-heart Skype conversation or a lunch date the next time both of you are in the same area. Either situation provides an opportunity to realize there are indeed bonds that can never be broken by distance or time. SOURCE: FREEPIK, ZURB, DANIEL BRUCE / FLATICON, EGOR RUMYANTSEV / FLATICON
This is probably the last time in your life your body can survive on a balanced diet of Flaming Hot Cheetos and beer, so don’t feel guilty about doing what makes you happy. Live in the moment, make new friends and do the things you’ve always wanted to try but never got around to doing. These are your final months of freedom, so enjoy them while you can.

MOVING FROM PARADISE 101
WHAT TO EXPECT ON THE MAINLAND
ILLLUSTRATION BY LAUREN TABOR / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
ALYSSA LISHMAN STAFF WRITER
Those who were born and raised in Hawai‘ i know it all too well: the feeling of wanting to “get off the rock.” If you are brave enough to take the journey to the mainland, here are a few tips you should remember. You must be prepared to experience the culture shock of your life. Hawai‘ i really does have its own way of going about things. Walking down the street or going to 7-Eleven for a quick Slurpee? In Hawai‘i, you will most likely see somebody you know and end up having a conversation. People holding doors open for you? Sure, that sounds normal, but don’t count on it always happening on the mainland. Mainland residents are not mean, but the
overall attitude in the continental United States is not consistent with that found in Hawai‘i. The “aloha” that you grew up loving will vanish. On a campus, in a work environment or with close friends, you may find the same camaraderie that you associate with the islands. However, do not expect everyone to stop in the streets just to catch up. The weather will be unlike anything you’ve experienced, so you’ll need to purchase an entirely new wardrobe. Remember learning about the seasons in grade school, but never noticing a change in the weather around you? Now you will get to experience winter. While this may seem appealing to some, it can be crippling for those who have never experienced weather below 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Shopping for new winter clothes is expensive,
but is necessary if you want to survive. You’ll have to somehow manage a journey to classes or work in thick layers to ensure that you don’t become an icicle. Spend the money and invest in a high quality jacket to shield you from the cold. Temperatures can be as low as zero degrees in the winter, but during the summer they can shoot up to 100 degrees, if not higher. When picking a location to potentially live in, be sure to educate yourself on the winter and summer climates before you make up your mind. If you think Hawai‘ i has cultural diversity, wait until you step foot on the mainland. You will be shocked at how many different cultures you will witness in the first five minutes getting off the plane. Be sure to go out and experience as much of the cultural diversity
as you can. Try new things, go to new restaurants and participate in festivals and gatherings. Many of your colleagues will come from diverse backgrounds, and you may be able to learn something new about a different culture every day. Although Hawai‘ i is a great vacation location and thus a hot spot for meeting many types of people, the mainland is larger and allows for travelers from all over the globe to roam more freely and without as many crowds. The lower cost of living will leave you — and your wallet — feeling a bit happier and more satisfied. Hawai‘ i is an expensive place to live, especially for college kids who don’t make a lot of money. It can be stressful to find a place to live and pay rent, buy groceries, pay for household supplies and still have

come off, and the parties have ended – your undergraduate years are finally over. Now what? For many, graduate school is a priority, yet it can be pricey and applications take time to prepare. Other people may desire a little time off before committing to serious jobs. For students with a gap and no plans, do not fret, there is something for you.
Maybe your gap year does not consist of saving money because you have enough saved. If this is the case, travel to a different state or country – just go somewhere new. Apps like Airbnb offer cheap rates at bed and breakfasts in different parts of the world, and Allegiant Airlines offers flights from Honolulu starting at $100.
Four years (sometimes more) of undergrad can take a toll on one’s body. Now that school is over, there are no more late nights of studying and snacking on junk food. You have an entire year to work out consistently to get your body in tip-top shape. Try one of many hikes offered on O‘ahu or even yoga – you’ll feel the difference right away.
BECOME THE NEXT MARK ZUCKERBERG
GET AN INTERNSHIP
LEARN OR TRY SOMETHING NEW
Zuckerberg is famous for creating Facebook, one of the most popular social media sites today, and he didn’t finish his undergrad. As a sophomore dropout, Zuckerberg is now worth billions. If he could start a website without a degree, you can definitely do it with one. If you’ve ever dreamed of launching a startup, a gap year is the perfect time to do so.
At this point, résumés are important, so start building yours up by getting experience through an internship. If you have a year off, look into interning with a company in your field. Chances are working in your area of interest will be worth more than a piece of paper certifying your bachelor’s degree. A gap year may seem like a long time, but 12 months can fly by quickly; freshman year seems like yesterday. Remember to make the most out of the short amount of time you have.
Even though your undergraduate education is over, that doesn’t mean you have to stop learning. If there is a language you wanted to learn but didn’t, consider taking coures on the side or private lessons. If you’ve always wanted to become a part of a sports team, try club volleyball or football. Maybe you’ve been itching to learn how to paint or maybe you’ve been dying to swim with the sharks. Whatever your interest is, do it.

money to allow yourself some fun. On the mainland, there will likely be a Dollar Tree, 99-cent store or another inexpensive store within a 5-mile radius of your location. Many items can be found in these stores, from toilet paper to shampoo and conditioner, to wrapping paper and even food. These stores will be a lifesaver when moving into a new apartment and paying bills by yourself. These tips will help make your transition to the mainland easier. Leaving this small rock can be difficult, but once you are able to sustain yourself in a larger and sometimes tougher world, you will be better prepared for anything life decides to send your way.

5 WAYS TO USE YOUR COLLEGE DIPLOMA
KEN REYES SENIOR STAFF WRITER
“Welcome to the real world” is the underlying message behind the diploma every college graduate receives. Sure, you’ve earned a bachelor’s in some obscure field or finally achieved a prestigious doctorate in who-knows-what, but at the end of the day, it’s just a piece of paper that proves your education in fancy calligraphy. Some graduates actually hang their diplomas on their walls, but there are more practical uses for that piece of paper. Here are five wise and creative ways to make the most of your college diploma.
TONY WEBSTER / FLICKR
SAMMI BAUM ALOHA NIGHTS EDITOR
There is a crowning moment in every college student’s life that he or she will remember for the rest of his or her life. Perhaps yours happened during your first year dorming on campus when a fire alarm sounded at 3 a.m., which led to a make out session in the parking lot. Or it could have been during your junior year in the library when you mastered the theory of AC/DC. Or maybe, just maybe, yours hasn’t happened yet. Although it seems like there is no time for this so-called moment of glory, do not fret, there is a solution. Throw the Project X of graduation parties. If you don’t have a single golden memory from your time at UH, throwing an epic party will make the cut. Because this party will essentially mark the end of your time at Mānoa, there is no reason you should hold back on anything. Go all out.
1 3 5 7
2 4 6
Sell your soul on eBay for some cash, and then spam the Twitter accounts of major DJs like Steve Aoki or Calvin Harris until one of them agrees to come play a set at the party.
Rent a venue big enough to host all of the 2015 graduates and their guests. Kaka‘ako Waterfront Park has been home to raves in the past and is an ideal candidate. Other options are to take it to the streets of Chinatown to celebrate block party style, or to party on one of the many beaches on O‘ahu.
Create an event page on Facebook and make it an open invite so that friends of your friends can invite their friends and so on. Utilize all other social media platforms like Instagram and Twitter to spread the word of the party. If needed, figure out a way to use the campus email listserv to spread the word to all students.
Purchase minor necessities to have at the party. These include a bounce house, chocolate fountain, prime rib station, transportation to and from campus, 15 kegs of beer, a full bar with top shelf selections, bartender and celebrity appearances.
Hire cops as your bouncers. Hiring cops almost guarantees you won’t get arrested for the party you’re throwing. Also, this will keep all students under 21 out. Who do they think they are, anyway? This party is for those with bachelor’s degrees only.
Book plane tickets to Las Vegas as party favors for the first 50 people who RSVP. Just because the grad party is over, doesn’t mean the celebrations have to stop. Join these special 50 on their flight and continue the festivities in the city of shotgun weddings, blackjack and regret.
Stay in Vegas forever. Seriously. You could work as a party promoter after the huge stunt you just pulled. After this night, any club would hire you. Give yourself a round of applause and then take Vegas for all it’s worth.
Always party responsibly. This is obvious, but this step serves as a reminder.
Lunch mat
Handmade boomerang
Hate leaving crumbs and coffee mug rings all over your expensive mahogany tables? Look no further. Your diploma’s hard cover makes the perfect lunch mat for plates of every size and shape. You might even be able to squeeze in a little dessert cup and a glass of champagne to celebrate your school-free days.
Heads up, handy and creative people. If you want to impress your Aussie friends, look no further. With the right tools (extra-sharp scissors, duct tape and an optional handsaw) and the right attitude, anyone can turn a stiff, rigid diploma into a fun boomerang. Use acrylic paint, glitter glue and stickers to decorate. Note: effectiveness and return not guaranteed.
Coffee filter
Sleeping pad for your pet
In case you run out of coffee filters due to that morning rush to your new administrative job in town, the parchment paper used for your diploma serves as an excellent strainer. Congratulations, your coffee will now taste like success and hard work. One-time use only.
Cats will sleep on anything they find lying around. Boxes. Your newly-washed and vacuumed carpet. The top of a refrigerator. Forget those $500 fur-lined beds. Set your diploma down in an isolated part of your living room and before you know it, little Kitty will be curled up and lulled in a blissful afternoon nap, thanks to your years of effort.
Blackout/redaction poetry Why waste the beautiful calligraphy on your diploma? When you feel depressed due to post-scholastic nostalgia, or finally find the creative sparks that eluded you throughout college, just grab a Sharpie and redact away. Your poem might be the next one hit wonder on Tumblr. Having 500,000+ notes is something you can add to your résumé, right?
Of course, there are many more ways to use your college diploma. Dollhouse roof, iPad cover, receipt holder, baking paper, cutting board – the possibilities are endless. It is one of the most versatile objects you will own in your lifetime. However, if you insist on leaving it hanging, you will miss out on exploring the creative and practical functions of a diploma.

TIPS FOR FINDING AN APARTMENT

NOELLE FUJII NEWS EDITOR
Finding an apartment was not as simple as I thought it would be. Going into the search, I knew I wanted to find a place with multiple bedrooms before the semester ended. I did not know that the search would be so tedious, with apartments I had my eye on being swept up and rented out in a matter of days. My first tip is to start looking for a place right away. With the semester ending, there will be many postgrads — and continuing students who choose not to dorm — doing the same thing. Start your search on apartment listing websites, such as Trulia and Craigslist. In Honolulu, most renters appear to post their vacancies on Craigslist, as opposed to other sites like Trulia and Zillow. On the mainland, it seems to be the other way around. Some listings could be scams, so be careful. If you are concerned about this, one option would be to go through a real estate agency. Many agencies in Hawai‘i have property managers who handle rental listings. In my opinion, going through property managers is more secure since you know they are certified and are aware of the laws. One site for this is hicentral.com; members of the Honolulu Board of Realtors post all of the listings. You can also ask friends and family for recommendations about where to look, or to find out if they know of any renters who may have available apartments. If you’re not from the island, this can be especially useful. Be sure to also set requirements for what you want out of an apartment. Do you want the place to have two bathrooms or two bedrooms? Will you need parking? How much are you willing to pay each month for rent? Be aware that some rentals do not include utility
costs like water and electricity, so you may need to budget for those costs as well. Once you find a place you like, go check it out as pictures can be misleading. When you get to the apartment, look around for any damage to the building or inside. Also ask any questions you have. If the fridge provided is old, will you be receiving a new one? Since bugs are common in this tropical state, who pays for pest treatments if there is an infestation? If you like the place, I recommend filling out an application and have it ready to submit at the showing. If the apartment is in a good neighborhood and is available at a decent price, assume there will be competition for it. You never know how fast an apartment can be taken off the market. Rental applications can take only a day or two to process and an offer can be given right after. If you don’t get the place you want, however, don’t be disappointed. There will always be new listings popping up. CHECKLIST

When I got my first part-time job, I was excited about taking a leap into adulthood – convinced that I was finally on my way to independence. But when the manager handed me tax forms, I had no clue where to start. In an act of desperation, I called my mom who patiently
objectively difficult – the problem is that younger people are unfamiliar with certain life acts. Being given the opportunity to ask questions about W2s, or learning what to look for when renting an apartment would save students a lot of future hassle if they were educated about these matters beforehand. “I don’t understand why it’s required that we take second-lan-
If [a second language] is required then they [the university] should at least provide me with another class that’s more applicable to everyday living. – DEIDRA MOORE ANTHROPOLOGY JUNIOR
walked me through the paperwork. So much for independence. I felt confused and angry that I was entering adulthood knowing the Pythagorean theorem inside and out, but was completely unaware of something as basic as how to fill out a W2. For many students, entering college not understanding simple concepts such as filing for taxes, acquiring insurance and basic loan organization is challenging. Many find themselves using the Internet, phoning a friend or playing the guessing game when it comes to filling out certain paperwork, and those methods are only reliable to a certain extent. What if students didn’t have to scour unreliable websites in order to learn these basic skills? If schools required one course that focused on life skills, students would be better prepared to handle real world situations. Designing a syllabus around common skills that everyone should possess would not be difficult, especially if students were given the opportunity to suggest topics before the course was created. Many of the subjects that students would like taught are not
guage courses, but not a life skills class,” said Deidra Moore, a junior studying anthropology at the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa. “If [a second language] is required then they [the university] should at least provide me with another class that’s more applicable to everyday living and will benefit me on a higher level.” The course would not have to be a huge weight on students. It could be pass/fail, and freshmen would be required to take it during their first or second semester of school. Students would be graded based on attendance and completion of short assignments such as dummy tax forms or apartment applications. Every semester a different professor from each college could teach the course. Professors would not get tired of teaching the course, as there are many professors within each college who could take turns. Furthermore, by having a professor from each college available, students would be able to take the class alongside those with similar interests. Certain portions of the class could be tailored to the interests of students in similar fields, such as the units on finding
a job or whether or not graduate school is worthwhile. “Shidler has something like that; it’s a class on personal finances, FIN 301,” said Robinson Nyugen, a senior majoring in business. “It’s major restricted, but it would be a pretty useful class for everyone to take.” Some might argue that a course like this is not academic, or that it would provide information that should be taught by parents. The latter is not always the case, and many courses that are not considered traditionally “academic” are taught regardless. Many schools aim to aid in the development of well-rounded individuals, and that requires much more than students knowing how to divide fractions, breeze through five-page papers on “Hamlet” and being able to dissect worms. Not all skills can be taught using a textbook, so it is time for educators to take a look at the current curriculum and make adjustments. “I wish there was a class like that I could’ve taken,” said Tylor Garcia, a senior graduating with a BA in psychology. “I’m not ready for the ‘real-world’ like dealing with taxes, buying a car, so on. A basic class on life skills would’ve been really helpful.” A life skills course would prepare students for the “real world,” making it useful for years to come. This class would not be difficult to implement, its syllabus would be simple, students would appreciate the knowledge and all of the information conveyed would be practical. The University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa should take a course like this into consideration, as there are few downsides and the benefits would be long lasting. Of course, I am also sure that employers will appreciate the decrease in college students who give dumbfounded looks when asked for tax information. Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

Volunteering changes Peace Corps hopes new requirements will encourage more students to apply to work abroad

strategies to aid in foreign relations and diplomacy.
Although the Peace Corps is half a century old, it’s seeing a growth in applications thanks to what the organization describes as an easier application process. Recent changes allow prospective volunteers to choose a desired country to serve in, serve in their country of origin and serve as a couple – whether heterosexual or same-sex. “It’s no longer just teaching English to middle school and high school kids, but teaching people how to use the internet and how to promote their business through social media,” said Grace Macruder, Peace Corps Hawai‘i representative. “It’s teaching biology and getting girls interested in math and science. As development needs change, Peace Corps is rising to meet that need.”
THE NEW GENERATION OF VOLUNTEERS
THE PEACE CORPS
Since its establishment by John F. Kennedy in 1961, the Peace Corps has evolved into an organization that transcends borders, offering new volunteer openings in health, agriculture, environment, education and youth and economic development. “Volunteering experience is varied from a typical rural experience or it can be a really high-tech experience based on your skill set,” Magruder said. “The only two requirements are that you are 18 years or older and you are an American citizen.” In Hawai‘i, the Peace Corps history began with a training program developed from 1962-1972 through which 7,500 volunteers were sent to Hilo, Hawai‘i. The Hawai‘i training facility was considered an ideal location due to climate and diversity in culture and was used until 1971 when in-country training for volunteers replaced the need for facilities. Today, the Peace Corps community is made of more than 215,000 current and returned volunteers that served a total of 140 countries. The organization has not faltered in employing new, constantly evolving
Peace Corps volunteers decide where they will volunteer, a change that Magruder stressed will greatly affect the Peace Corps. The regions that volunteers can choose from are Africa, Latin America, Eastern Europe, Asia and Central Asia, the Caribbean, North Africa, the Middle East and the Pacific Islands. Volunteering opportunities can vary from rural to technologically advanced based on skill set. Currently, urban assignments like business development, computer technology or teaching at the university-level are more prominent in
Hawai‘i because everyone here has a connection to a different culture.”
liam S. Richardson School of Law, Magruder is involved in one of the two graduate programs available to volunteers that have many available benefits. The Coverdell scholarship was just recently added to the law school, making it one of more than 80 universities in the United States and is available to all Peace Corps volunteers. Volunteers get lifetime eligibility, full tuition remission and stipends. Master’s International is a Peace Corps program tied with more than 90 academic institutions that allows volunteers to serve while pursuing a graduate degree. This program does not offer scholarships but offers many academic and financial benefits like student loan deferment or cancellation. “Peace Corps provides that area and the opportunity to explore the world,” Magruder said. “And then when you get back, Peace Corps volunteers have what’s called a non-competitive eligibility or NCE.” NCE is a hiring status that provides greater access to volunteers with minimum qualifications applying to U.S. Federal Government agency positions. After service, all volunteers are given a three-month readjustment allowance.
COUPLES IN THE PEACE CORPS
BECOMING A GLOBAL CITIZEN
There is a difference in applying as an individual and applying as a couple. Volunteers can serve with their spouses on assignments if they have the proper documentation – a marriage license or an affidavit. Couples must also qualify for the same sector, health coverage and specify that they are applying as a couple, Magruder said. The most recent change is that same sex couples can now serve in the Peace Corps. For volunteers, serving in the Peace Corps will be the catalyst to greater career candidacy along with many other benefits. These benefits are earned, though, as the minimum amount of service is two years.
For those interested in taking the next step towards the Peace Corps, a competitive selection process must be expected as more options are accessible to potential volunteers. As the official Peace Corps recruiter for the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, Magruder encourages applicants to volunteer locally and invest time learning a language through classes in order to better improve their chances. Magruder also encourages writing down even the slightest bit of qualifying information when applying, including previous jobs or hobbies. “Things that people assume are gonna be really impressive on a resume actually aren’t weighed the heaviest, and things that they think are not that big of a deal end up really shining through,” Magruder said. As with any life-changing deci-
VOLUNTEERING IN YOUR COUNTRY OF ORIGIN
Through a more inclusive approach, the Peace Corps hopes to further erase stereotypes and break social borders. Before, volunteers with prior citizenship in foreign countries could not volunteer in that country after obtaining American citizenship. In a more-inclusive approach for both volunteers and the countries involved, volunteers can now serve in their country of origin. “People who have ties to a particular place want to bridge that exchange and go from the U.S. and take the resources they’ve had here and help develop their homeland or this land that they’ve got a connection to,” Magruder said. “I think that’s really important, especially in
If you’re not set on a particular country, leave yourself open to surprises and say that you’re willing to go anywhere. – GRACE MAGRUDER PEACE CORPS HAWAI‘I REPRESENTATIVE
the Peace Corps, Magruder said. In addition to flexibility in choosing assigments and regions, volunteers can create their own clubs or programs through secondary assignments so long as they suit the needs of the community. Magruder said that she worked with small businesses in West Africa to strengthen product development, qualify control and marketing by arranging trade fairs and assisting with social media platforms. Though, as a return volunteers, Magruder said that her experience not choosing her location was more fulfilling than she originally hoped for and encouraged applicants not to be fearful of trekking into the unknown. “I tell applicants if you’re not set on a particular country, leave yourself open to surprises and say that you’re willing to go anywhere,” Magruder said.

With finals rolling in, there are few things more comforting than a warm bowl of soup. Bac Nam is a small hole-in-the-wall restaurant on South King Street that offers authentic Vietnamese cuisine, including the classic bowl of pho. Run by a husband and wife team, the vast menu includes dishes like spring rolls, crab curry, green papaya salad and much more. Pho is one of the cheapest items on the menu, with a regular size costing $6.95. The regular is more than enough for two, but there’s also a large size available. Meat options include rare beef, chicken or beef balls. Whenever I go, I order the regular size pho with beef balls. The pho broth is rich and aromatic without being overly salty, while the beef balls and noodles add the right amount of texture and flavor. You get generous amounts of beef and noodles for a comforting, satisfying dish. The soup comes with a plate of basil leaves and bean sprouts, so add however much you desire. The decor isn’t flashy and there’s a small seating capacity, but prices are reasonable and the owners are friendly. It’s also BYOB and near the Blaisdell Arena, making this a good pre-show dinner spot. If you’ve only had pho from the Bale on campus, do yourself a favor and try Bac Nam. RATING

The grilled chicken bowl with various toppings was true to it’s description, but could use more flavor. STEPHANIE KIM CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Hawai‘i has been absent of a Chipotle-style Mexican restaurant until this past month when Oahu Mexican Grill (OMG), opened its doors and offered a simple, affordable and almost identical menu to Chipotle right down the road from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. The setting is casual, contemporary and small, seating less than 15 people. There are two restrooms, one for men and one for women. The restaurant seemed like a place to grab your meal and go. OMG offers a simple menu similar to Chipotle, a chain restaurant specializing in burritos and tacos, and the pricing is reasonable. You can buy an entrée, not including sides or a drink, for under $10. To order, you wait in line while the staff takes your order in an assembly line fashion, passing
down your order to each section: the filling station, topping station and to check out. There are a variety of customizable entrees: burritos, tacos, salads and bowls. Fillings include chicken, steak, carnitas, barbacoa, roasted veggies and bean and cheese, plus toppings such as rice and sour cream. The majority of the toppings are free, but it’s extra for guacamole ($2) or extra meat ($4). In addition, they serve a kids’ menu and sides like chips and salsa, rice and beans. The pricing of the entrees is based on the filling you choose: the grilled chicken ($8.25), grilled steak ($9.25), kalua carnitas ($9.25), barbacoa ($9.25), roasted veggies ($8) and the beans and cheese ($6.50). I ordered a bowl, a burrito without the tortilla, with grilled chicken marinated in a chipotle sauce, all the free toppings, choosing the Spanish fried rice over the cilantro-lime rice. The grilled chicken
alone is true to its description, giving off a smoky taste, but stands just at that. It had nothing else contributing to the smokiness, making it taste bland. With all the toppings I chose, it made for a satisfying meal. Each topping complemented one another, from the Spanish fried rice to the corn salsa and the fireroasted chipotle sauce. My companion ordered a burrito with the barbacoa, which is slowcooked braised beef in a mildly-spicy chili blend, all the free toppings, and the cilantro-lime rice. The barbacoa was well-seasoned and had a slow-braised taste – all the spicy chili was blended in. The only suggestion: a little more sour cream. According to its website, OMG serves quality ingredients from the freshest produce: homemade salsa and guacamole, local and grassfed beef, pork from Niman Ranch, and meats that are all-natural, ste-
roid-free, hormone-free and antibiotic-free. The service at Oahu Mexican Grill is what you can expect of any restaurant in its opening month: a little nervous and jumbled, ensuring that customers are happy with what they ordered. When I stepped through the door, I observed two people before me that had mixed up orders, but the staff apologized and offered more filling to make it up to them. They were also hesitant at serving the toppings and ended up skimping on a lot of them. I would come back to this restaurant to try out the different styles of entrees and see how well they progress after their first month jitters. It may not be authentic Mexican food, but it will be the closest I can get to a Chipotle on this island. What do you think? Let us know @KaLeoFeatures

NOT JUST A CHERRY ON TOP W AYS TO I M P R O V E A C L A S S I C T R E AT
You scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream. There is a good reason behind all this screaming. Ice cream is delicious. However, if you eat ice cream plain or use normal toppings such as hot fudge or whipped cream, you have not unlocked the true potential that it holds. Believe it or not, whether you get the Meadow-Gold value tub, the Dreyer’s half-gallon or the Ben & Jerry’s pint, there are ways to make your ice cream taste even better.
LAZY GRAHAM/OREO CRUST
CANDY TOPPING
PEANUT BUTTER
JAM/JELLY
Bubbies, on Coyne Street, is famous for its ice cream pies and delicious Oreo crusts. For those who like the variety of textures in their ice cream diet but are too lazy or poor to buy ice cream pies, lazy crusts are your new best friend. Smash Oreo cookies or graham crackers into crumbs and sprinkle them onto your ice cream. This is a decision you will not regret.
There are many ice cream flavors that mimic some of your favorite candy bars. Want to make your own? Put your favorite candy bar in your ice cream. Chop your Snickers, Twix, Reese’s and Milky Ways, and sprinkle a generous helping of the good stuff on top of your ice cream.
The taste of a peanut butter milkshake is almost good enough to bring you to tears. However, the price of peanut butter milkshakes are high enough to bring you to tears. Instead, mixing peanut butter with vanilla ice cream is a delicious and affordable substitute.
For those who get the strawberry sundaes at McDonalds, this one is for you. Drizzle your favorite jam, jelly or preserve on top of your ice cream to give it that extra fruity flavor. You could also add fresh fruits if you happen to have any, but jams are easier to store and last much longer than fresh produce. The next time you scoop yourself a bowl of ice cream, think about what you have lying around. Never settle for great. Shoot for amazing. Bring out the best in that bowl of ice cream.
CEREAL
Here is another suggestion for those texture lovers. Sprinkle a handful of your favorite cereal on top of your ice cream, giving your dessert a delightful crunch.
HOT COCOA POWDER
POTATO CHIPS
Sometimes you have a strong craving for chocolate paired with a large amount of vanilla ice cream. Your craving could be satisfied instantly with a simple packet of hot cocoa. Simply mix the cocoa packet with vanilla ice cream for your chocolate-y treat.
Want to add some texture and crunch to your life? When you desire a crunch and a bit of salt, chips are a convenient topping. Common chips brands that work well with ice cream include Lays and Kettle chips. For some extra sweetness, coat the chips in chocolate.

YO U R S P R IN G C LE A N M A K E U P B AG It may be hard to let go of the makeup that you have splurged on, but it is important to take care of your face first. Take the life expectancies of makeup into account you’re sifting through your makeup bag. EYESHADOW Replace powder shadows every three months to avoid transferring bacteria from the product to the eyes.
AT A R E P RO D U C TS T H P LU R G E WORTH THE S
While you can find cheap options of makeup at drugstores and Walmart, there are some products that are worth the splurge. Products that are worth the splurge are often made with materials that last longer and are better for your skin. By being better quality, they’ll show up not only better on your face, but in pictures as well. ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS TINTED BROW GEL & BROW WIZ ($22, $21) Using a smear-proof brow gel achieves more defined looking eyebrows to frame your face. It’s also a celebrity favorite amongst the Kardashian Klan.
MAC LIPSTICK ($16) Russian Red & Media have a fan-following amongst customers. The lipsticks are priced a little more than drugstore products, but last forever.
EYELINER Whether it’s liquid, pencil or gel, eyeliner should be replaced every three months as well. Pencils will last longer than liquid if you continuously sharpen them, but the pencil is officially dead once it develops a thin white film.
LIPSTICK Replace lipsticks and glosses after a year, but toss it if you’ve been sick. The lipstick has gone bad when it gets hard or no longer spreadable.
MASCARA Switch up mascaras every two to three months to avoid redness and itchiness in the eye.
MAKE UP FOREVER HD MICROFINISH POWDER ($34) When you buy an expensive setting powder, you can sometimes skimp on pricey foundation. Make Up Forever’s Microfinish Powder is translucent and works for all skin tones and doesn’t dry out skin.
FOUNDATION The majority of foundations are water-based, so bacteria love them. Once the seal is broken, foundation can last six to 12 months. Keep foundations out of moist environments, such as your bathroom, and away from heat, as those conditions can encourage spoiling. Applying expired foundation can cause irritation and breakouts.
CONCEALER Concealers in either powder or stick form can last up to two years. Toss it when the shade starts to shift away from the original coloring.

BENEFIT COSMETICS THEY’RE REAL! PUSH-UP LINER ($24) When buying a precise liquid eyeliner, you don’t want one that will smear over time. Benefit’s 24 hour long lasting liquid liner is conveniently waterproof and won’t budge unless you wipe it off with makeup remover. It also won the 2014 Best of Beauty and Beauty Breakthrough Allure Magazine Award.
DIOR DIORSHOW WATERPROOF MASCARA ($25) This waterproof volumizing mascara lengthens eyelashes to a new extreme. This cult favorite was inspired by Dior makeup artists who would use plush toothbrushes to coat models’ lashes backstage for volume.
iment and a learning process on our faces. Sometimes you buy a product and after only one use you realize that you’ve wasted your money. Whether it doesn’t blend well, or it isn’t as pigmented as you’d like, money spent on makeup could be wasted. You should always be cautious of what products you are applying to your face, so taking care of your products is important too.
R THOSE P RO D U C TS F O ON A BUDGET
Often, people fall under the impression that in order to look like a million bucks, you’ve got to be willing to spend it. Although you may feel the need to splurge on select beauty products, there are many products that you can find for a decent price, that still do the trick.
E.L.F ULTIMATE EYE SHADOW PALETTE, 144 PIECE ($15) Containing more colors than you can name, this palette is easily the perfect go-to for dressing up for any occasion. Ranging from neutral colors to bold vibrant colors that give you a 90s-esque vibe, you’ll have a color to go with nearly anything.
L’ORÉAL TRUE MATCH SUPER BLENDABLE LIQUID FOUNDATION ($10) Paired with the perfect concealer, this foundation has just the right amount of coverage that is sure to leave your skin looking natural and dewy.
BODY SHOP TEA TREE CONCEALER ($5) With a simple swipe and dab on the desired area, you can easily hide a blemish. Not only does this concealer give you light coverage with a natural glow, but it also treats blemishes with each application.
E.L.F. COSMETICS 12 PIECE BRUSH SET ($12) With all of the basic brushes makeup enthusiasts should have, this brush kit is perfect for beginners, or anyone looking to expand their brush collection at a cheap price.
ARDELL FASHION LASHES ($3.50) Face it, long-lush volumized eyelashes are a must. The kit comes with a simple step-by-step tutorial on how to apply eyelashes. So, whether you slap on falsies for a night out on the town, or use them for an everyday look, this is a must-have.

For most students without a car, the bus is a primary mode of transportation. With bus passes being “free” to students, it makes for a cheap alternative to driving. Unfortunately, the kinks and traffic make travelling by bus difficult. The Bus, the Hawai‘i-based bus company, has an app titled “Da Bus” to address such issues. When opening the app, users are given the option to find or search for a nearby bus stop. Using location services, the app pinpoints your location. Operating on Google Maps, the app has the option to view through satellite as well as the less detailed “map” option. Sometimes, the map will show the entire mainland U.S., and it is tedious to zoom-in and re-locate the Hawaiian islands. Selecting a specific bus stop brings up the schedule of incoming buses. The accuracy of this depends on whether the bus has GPS, which is usually only on the newer models of the buses. If GPS is available, users are able to track the selected bus through its route. This doesn’t negate that a bus can come earlier or later than expected as the GPS can be inaccurate in weak signal zones. Overall, “Da Bus” gives me mixed opinions. When it works, the app is handy, but the instances it refuses to cooperate, I pull out my hair in anger. If you depend on the bus to get around, I recommend you download the app – just be prepared to get frustrated.

It’s been nearly 30 years since the third installment of the “Mad Max” franchise made its way into theaters, but the wait is over. “Mad Max: Fury Road” has a new face as Tom Hardy steps in for the role of Max who was previously played by Mel Gibson. In this dystopian world, oil has faded from existence, creating an apocalyptic world. In the film, Max is captured by a group of thugs and must escape to help Furiosa (Charlize Theron) travel across the desert. Practical effects
become less common in films as the years progress, but for writer and director George Miller, it’s a must. The innovative action sequences showcased in the trailers proves that CGI isn’t the only way to make an entertaining film. With the May 15 release, this film is the perfect getaway once the semester is finished.
Perhaps the most anticipated movie of the summer, “Jurassic World” continues the beloved franchise where 2001’s “Jurassic Park III” left off. Taking place 20 years after the first film, the movie focuses on the park, which is under the control of a new company – Masrani Global. The park has now been open for some time, with millions of visitors a year. But like any corporation, greed has caused Masrani Global to experiment for more revenue. This results in the creation of a new hybrid dinosaur, the Indominous Rex, which escapes its enclosure.
Chris Pratt portrays Owen, a dinosaur researcher who specializes in raptors. With the threat of the dangerous Indominous Rex at hand, Owen must track down the creature before more destruction and deaths occur. Although the film is being released over a decade after the last film, expect to see many nostalgic factors within “Jurassic World,” including the original T-Rex.
With 2014 being a Pixar-less year, the animation studio returns with its first of two films this year. “Inside Out” focuses on a young girl’s, Riley, emotions as she moves from the Midwest to San Francisco. These emotions are depicted as individual characters including: Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust and Sadness. From the released trailers, the emotions appear to fight for control of Riley’s mind. Amy Poehler, Bill Hader, Lewis Black
and Mindy Kaling offer their voices in this animated Disney film, making it another star-studded cast.
Marvel has been riding the success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) since its debut of “Iron Man” in 2008. The MCU’s second chapter, Phase 2, will be coming to an end with the final Disney-affiliated Marvel film of 2015: “AntMan.” Although casual movie-goers may not be familiar with the hero, his long comic history dates back to 1962. In the film, Paul Rudd takes the lead as Scott Lang, a criminal turned hero who is given a suit to become the Ant-Man. The suit
allows Scott to shrink down to the miniscule size of an ant but increase his strength tremendously. Even with the departure of the talented Edgar Wright, the film still contains a humorous side that fits with the MCU.
Already a hotly debated film for the summer, “Fantastic 4” has caused an uproar from hardcore comic fans who are angered by the changes of the film. This frustration stemmed from Johnny Storm being African-American despite his sister Sue Storm being white. However, the most recent trailer reveals that Sue storm is the adopted sister to Johnny which cleared up confusion. An additional change is that the four members teleport to an alternate universe instead of traveling via spacecraft.
20th Century Fox may be trying to separate itself from 2005’s failed “Fantastic 4,” which suffered critically. This grittier iteration, while controversial to some, looks to catapult the franchise back into the spotlight as well as giving the care and respect that this superhero team deserves.

Meeting Matlin The new athletics director’s path to Hawai‘i and what he hopes to achieve
FILE PHOTO / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
Although he’s new to the position, Matlin feels that he can turn UH athletics around.
By the time David Matlin officially took over as athletics director at the end of April, he had already hired a new men’s basketball coach. Aside from his first major decision at the helm of a department expected to report more than a $3.5 million deficit this year, Matlin says the school faces a larger choice than the ones that lead to wins and losses. “I think the biggest challenge we have for ourselves is that we have to define who we really want to be,” Matlin said. “There’s so many missions in collegiate athletics – it’s about student-athletes, it’s about education. They say it’s like a business but it’s not just a business. It’s
more complex than that.” Because of that complexity, Matlin has decided to not only meet with department advisors, but also two student-athlete representatives from each of the 21 programs on campus. Some players brought lists of potential improvements while some brought stories of why they chose UH, but many of the meetings reminded Matlin of the power of the state. “The fact that we’re Hawai‘ i’s team is a great advantage,” Matlin said. “People care here.” Yet the career that placed him at his “dream job” at UH wasn’t one that began in collegiate athletics or Hawai‘ i, but instead Major League Baseball. Inspired by his father’s career in baseball, Matlin graduated with a degree in economics from the University of

After earning a full-time position with the team, Matlin was happy, but his life was at a turning point. “I loved it there and had a lot of opportunities there and I thought I was going to spend my entire career there,” Matlin said. Throughout his time with the Astros, Matlin anticipated a career as a nomad, moving from team to team in MLB. That was until his wife wished to return home to Hawai‘ i to start a family. From that point he realized another path was available for him. “Maybe there’s another way. Maybe you go pick a place you want to make home, and then you make the best of it there,” Matlin said.

Nittany Lions conquer Warriors in NCAA play-in Loss ends first tournament appearance for ‘Bows since 2002 HAYLEY MUSASHI STAFF WRITER
In its first 20-win season in nearly ten years, the University of Hawai‘i men’s volleyball team concluded its run Tuesday, falling to Penn State in four sets in an NCAA play-in match. The Warriors fought for survival after finding themselves down two sets in the match. A strong showing in the third frame would force a fourth and drama-filled set. The fourth set saw eight lead changes and 20 ties throughout; neither side allowing more than a three-point differential. The ‘Bows staved off three PSU match points, but a UH attacking error ultimately gave the Nittany Lions the 27-25 victory and ended the team’s season. Along with team accolades, five Warriors were awarded both allMPSF and all-American honors.
Considered one of the best middle blockers in the nation, senior Taylor Averil earned his second First-Team All-America honors for the second consecutive year, ranking second in the country in hitting percentage (.483) while averaging 1.30 blocks per set. Averill was also elected to the all-MPSF First-Team. Senior Brook Sedore was elected to the Second-Team after earning an honorable mention nomination last season. Sedore was selected to the all-MPSF first-team along with Averill. Junior Sinisa Zarkovic and sophomore Jennings Franciskovic made the honorable mention list for the first time. After sitting out an early portion of the season, Zarkovic returned to post a pair of double-doubles and concluded the season with 15 matches in double-figure kills. Kanetake finishes the season at
third-best in UH rally-scoring history with 305 digs. The libero also ranks fifth in the nation in digs per set and was named to the all-MPSF second-team along with Franciskovic and Zarkovic. Franciskovic finished sixth in the nation in assists averaging 10.82 per game. In a thrilling match against perennial rival Pepperdine, Franciskovic posted a conference-leading 70 assists that propelled UH to a five-set win over the Waves. Though the ‘Bows were predicted to finish middle of the pack in preseason polls, the Warriors far exceeded expectations, sitting atop the AVCA Coaches Poll for five straight weeks, finishing second in the MPSF regular season and maintained a 16-match winning streak, the team’s longest since 2006.

BLAKE'S TAKE
Terminal velocity How Don Bailey wants to restructure the Rainbow Warrior offense
FILE PHOTO / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
Don Bailey spent four years as the offensive coordinator for Idaho State University in the FCS. BLAKE TOLENTINO WEB SPECIALLIST
New Hawai‘ i football offensive coordinator Don Bailey wants to go fast. “Three plays a minute. Twenty seconds,” Bailey said when asked what his optimum pace would be. “Three plays per minute is about what Baylor does. I know we were at 2.86 plays at Idaho State per one minute in clock, real clock.” It’s a lofty goal for the Rainbow Warrior offense, which had failed to produce anything of note in the past season outside of former starting running back Joey Iosefa’s heavy workloads. Loftier still when considering that Bailey is working with a team that has spent the last three years immersed in the traditional West Coast Offense that head coach Norm Chow brought with him, an offense filled with many complex concepts and plays. Of course, speed is not Bailey’s only goal. He wants to maintain control, quickly adding that he would only be maintaining that break neck pace for portions of the game. They can, after all, only go as fast as their execution permits. The significance of Bailey’s desired pace is not only that he expects the offense the play faster, it’s a sign of greater change in both the offense, and the coaching structure of the team. A CHANGE IN VELOCITY
“First downs lead to touchdowns,” Baily said. “That’s our philosophy.”
It’s a notion that seems obvious; moving the ball is the most basic purpose of the offensive unit. Bailey’s words mean more when viewed in the context of what Hawai‘i had accomplished in the past season. As offenses go, the Rainbow Warriors didn’t make much of an impact on opposing defenses. Scoring 20.9 points per game, they ranked 108th in the nation. They averaged 364.4 yards per game, good for 98th in the country. As for Bailey’s prized first downs, the ‘Bows were mediocre, producing only 254 first downs over 13 games to place 76th in the NCAA. Hawai‘i lacked an identity and failed to consistently generate yards or points. Meanwhile, Bailey was orchestrating an Idaho State offense producing record numbers. His Bengal offense finished the season averaging 40.3 points per game and 562 yards per game. Had they been a Football Bowl Subdivision team, the Bengals would have placed in the Top 10 nationally in both metrics. Lending credence to Bailey’s philosophy, ISU gained 335 first downs despite playing one less game. The first step to achieving that level of success comes from adaptation. Bailey exists in a fluid state, a reactionary to his surroundings. He believes that versatility is important to having a successful offense. “You have to adapt the offense,” Bailey said. “So it’s really not about ‘the scheme,’ it’s about your scheme but adapted to your players.” “Everything is about multiplic-
ity now a days, and that’s where the game’s gone,” he said. BEYOND THE NUMBERS
Bailey isn’t just a new hire. He represents a major change in the way of Chow, and not just because he’s opening up the offense. Bailey contradicts many of the philosophies Chow has instilled in the Rainbow Warriors. Where Chow
eral tactics according to the players instead of teaching players to play a certain way. “Right now we’re just trying to get an understanding of our talent and matching what they can do, what they can’t do, and putting it all together,” Bailey said. “Yeah, we want to be able to attack downfield and run the football and control the ball as well.”
Right now we’re just trying to get an understanding of our talent and matching what they can do, what they can’t do, and putting it all together. – DON BAILEY OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR
has always favored a traditional play book with answers for every defensive look, Bailey’s expected pace will require the offense to go in a different direction. Keeping everyone on the same page in a faster paced offense is a challenge. Maintaining synchronicity within a fast moving offense requires a different approach, as can be seen by how an offense distills itself during a two minute drill. “Make it simple,” Bailey said. “They gotta play as a unit.” Bailey wants to run an adaptive attack, tailoring his final offense around the strengths of the players. Unlike Chow, one of those who contributed to the development of the West Coast Offense, Bailey does not have a distinct philosophy, preferring instead to change his gen-
Bailey doesn’t consider himself locked into any particular preferences for how his offense moves the ball. Despite running a balanced offense at Idaho State, featuring a 54/46 split of passing plays to running plays, he credits his players for driving those decisions. “You have to have guys too, but at the same time, but again, what’s balance? Balance to one guy could be 70 percent pass to 30 percent run with who you have. So a lot of it has to do with who you got, how it all comes together and who can make plays,” Bailey said. However, none of these shifts in offensive philosophy are as important as the shift in the coaching dynamic that Chow created when he chose Bailey. Bailey is the first offensive coordinator the coaching staff
has had since Tommy Lee in Chow’s inaugural season. For the first time in two seasons, Chow has relinquished the play calling duties. It’s a sign of Chow’s maturation as a head coach, an admission that one man cannot do everything by himself. On the surface, Bailey’s hiring can be seen as an attempt by Chow to rejuvenate a plodding offense with fresh ideas. More than that, however, the move is an attempt change his identity as a head coach. For three years, Chow had been resistant to change. He demanded control of the offense, often electing to call plays from the field instead of having a coordinator or assistant make the calls from the booth. In those three years, the offense has lacked consistency and potency. After three years of attempting to force a solution, Chow is adapting. Giving Bailey a chance to run things his way is a new direction from Chow, and one that could pay off in a big way. For his part, Bailey is confident that he can work with Chow’s concepts to produce something special. “[Chow]’s a very experienced guy in terms of offense,” Bailey said. “We still do some of the things that he’s done here in the past and some of my background matches that with him, but for the most part, I’m calling everything.” The move to give Bailey the reigns of the offense is an experiment for Chow. If successful, not only will the offense move faster, but the whole program will also move in a positive direction.

EAT OR BE BEAT The struggles of living the lifestyle of a student and meeting the demands of an athlete
SOURCE: ISTOCK
The typical athlete needs 1,000 more calories per day than the average person, and some athletes eat up to 8,000 calories per day. MAGGIE MORRIS STAFF WRITER
For college students, it is often difficult to eat well, the student-athletes of the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa are no exception. They face the same problems as they are also feeding their other half – the athlete. While many college students do not have the luxury of buying fresh food, choosing to pay for the cheapest meals over the generally pricey whole foods tends to be the most realistic option for many of students at UH. Living off a cheap junk food diet may work for some college students but for athletes, it is not an option. “At times, I eat about four times a day because I have a high metabolism and run around a lot in practice. I cook at home, I live off campus in my own apartment and some of the boys come over and we just cook together,” Warrior football linebacker Lance Williams said. For athletes like Williams, maintaining top physical strength and giving the body the necessary nutrients is crucial. Whether it’s after practice or before competition, different sport programs try to feed its athletes meals in order to lighten the financial burdens of food shopping. “They have a breakfast buffet for us after 6 a.m. workouts on Monday, Wednesday and Friday,” men’s golfer Chad McLay said. “I’m not as conscious about my diet as I should be because I don’t have the money, but I snack on trail mix a lot.” Keeping up with high intensity training without the essential nutrients can be harmful to the body. It becomes not a matter of how many meals a day an athlete needs to consume to refuel the amount
of calories that are burned within each training session, but rather an awareness of meeting the bare minimum nutritional requirements in order to condition the body. “I stick to my diet and just don’t eat a lot of sweets, don’t drink a lot, don’t eat of a lot of ice cream and stuff like that. I focus on carbs and protein, that’s my diet,” said women’s swimmer Jasmine Alkhaldi. “We work out so much so we have to be aware of what we eat.” Eating large, healthy meals to
a stipend to athletes. Since April 15, 2014, the NCAA approved new rules granting Division I student-athletes unlimited meals and snacks which would allow schools to provide athletes meals accordingly. “We grind the kids and they’re burning up to six, seven or eight thousand calories a day so they gotta consume at least that to maintain,” football strength coach Gary Beamer said. “It’s tricky, especially in the summertime when we can’t feed them … It’s harder
old days. So it’s not unheard of, and that’s the ultimate symptom of nutrient deficiency is dying.” For athletes, it is important to know what the training stresses are, what types of goals are made in order for their bodies to transform, ways to build muscle and if there is a need to lose fat. Not only is it emphasized to focus on what to eat, but also knowing what to avoid becomes equally as important. “Never drink alcohol. Alcohol is a poison. It’s everything that you
don’t want in a substance,” Beamer said. “Number one, you drink it and it always comes with poor choices. Number two it’s going to dehydrate you. Number three, it will impede muscle proteins ... so I would say to student-athletes everywhere, stay away from alcohol, it’s not worth it. It’s going to make you significantly underperform to your athletic potential.” The success of a completed tackle or a faster lap in the pool begins with breakfast and ends in dinner.

They’re burning up to six, seven or eight thousand calories a day so they gotta consume at least that to maintain.
“I eat a lot of meat and carbs actually, like I’m half Asian so I love rice and bread and a lot of meat to keep up with the day. I love red meat.”
– GARY BEAMER FOOTBALL STRENGTH COACH
replenish energy levels is the price of what it takes to be a top athlete. At the same time, the price of food demands just as much from the pockets of student-athletes. “We do feed our kids dinner every day of practice and the dinners are balanced nutritionally. Baseball players throughout history have just an awful diet based on eating just McDonald’s for an entire season of minor league baseball because that’s all they can afford,” baseball head coach Mike Trapasso said. “Our kids for the most part work on that themselves and that’s honestly something in the future that I think that I need to do a better job of.” In 2014, then-Connecticut basketball player Shabazz Napier claimed he would go to sleep starving most nights. Shortly after the interview, the NCAA made major changes to its rules regarding the limitations of three meals a day or
because there are kids who don’t have a lot of money and they’re college students, but they have to be really proactive about their nutrition habits.” Every sport requires different strategies that calls for a specific type of athlete, and for every athlete, there are many specialized training stresses that rely on specialized dietary needs in order to perform at the highest level. “Step one, meet essential nutrition needs, vitamins, minerals, proteins, essential fatty acids. About 45 nutrients and if just one of those essential nutrients are lacking or low, you won’t have a problem for a while,” Dr. Alan Tichenal of human nutrition said. “But eventually those bags of chemicals will drain and then functions that are dependent on it won’t work right and in extreme cases, people even died from nutrient deficiencies in the

“I eat breakfast after morning workouts. My options are rice, potatoes, bacon, corned beef hash and sausage. For lunch I’ll get a burger or sushi from campus center or maybe pizza hut from campus center. My dinner tends to be meat, preferably steak, and pasta.”

“I like pasta, chicken with pasta, I try stay away from rice because it makes me feel heavy. ... I drink a lot [of] sports drinks and a lot of water, and just stick to the basics.”

“What I do is I wake up and have breakfast, just have eggs or a bowl of cereal. For lunch I’ll usually pack a sandwich and some chips and bring it to school with me. Throughout the day I’m snacking on protein bars. For dinner, usually steak or chicken.”

Sweeping for the seniors Wahine softball wins final game for the seniors while earning sweep
JEREMY NITTA / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
A grand slam from Keiki Carlos was the highlight of Senior Day. JEREMY NITTA ASSOCIATE WEB EDITOR
The Rainbow Wahine softball team saved their best performance of the season for the end. The ‘Bows earned their first series sweep of the season, sending out their senior class as victors. “It’s everything I thought it was going to be,” senior catcher Kayla Wartner said. “To be able to get this third win today, and earn a sweep that we haven’t done all season is pretty awesome.” Senior Day began early, when Justine Tjaden, the team’s graduating manager, was honored and threw out the ceremonial first pitch. Tjaden, who saw her career ended by a rare blood disease in high school, has served as the team’s manager for the last four seasons. The ‘Bows then got to work. In the second inning, second baseman Tayana Mata put Hawai‘ i in the lead with an RBI single to score third baseman Rachel Lack. Mata’s hit was followed by backto-back walks to Dori Ann Sugai and Kayla Wartner. Keiki Carlos then emptied the bases with a grand slam, the first
of her career, and gave the ‘Bows a 5-0 advantage. In the fifth, Heather Morales launched a solo home run to make it 6-0. Leisha Li‘ili‘i picked up an single after her, before coming around to score on Ulu Matagiese’s RBI double.

Meanwhile, freshman pitcher Brittany Hitchcock was keeping the Aggies off balance all day. She shut down the Aggies through the first six innings before UC Davis broke up the shutout bid in the top of the seventh. Following the game, the ‘Bows honored their four seniors: Justine Tjaden, Jordan Burton, Kayla Wartner, and Leisha Li‘ili‘i. “This is over; it’s done,” Burton said. “The completion of my four years here of being a Rainbow Wahine, I’m just so grateful I got to spend it with these amazing girls
