The final walk JEREMY NIT TA Staff Reporter

Every season, a class of Rainbow Wahine seniors walks out onto the Stan Sheriff Center court for the last time. On Feb. 25, Rebecca Dew, Courtney Gaddis, Carlotta Mingo and Breanna Arbuckle will play in front of their Hawai‘i fans for the last time in a game against Nevada.

“This group of seniors was not recruited by us,” said head coach Dana Takahara-Dias. “But this group bought into our system and our program wholeheartedly and did everything we ever asked of them.”

The seniors iors expressed gratitude for the lessons essons they’ve learned and friendships they’ve hips they e ’ve formed in their time as Rainbow Wahine.

“It’s been en a different experience than I thought it would be, but overall I think it’s been a great experience,” ience,” said Dew. “I wouldn’t exchange hange it for anything.

When it’s alll over, I’m proud to have ve put on that Rainbow w Wahine jersey.”

“I was just happy to be home

playing for a place that I love,” said Gaddis. “I told myself I was going to do my best any chance that I got and keep improving every year.”

“I think playing for the Wahine has made me a lot more mature,” said Mingo. “It has given me a lot of new perspectives on my life.”

“I’d rate my career as a perfect 10,” said Arbuckle. “I loved being here and the people around me.”

THE NEXT STEP After their careers are complete, each senior has a different career path set ahead of them.

Gaddis, a graduate of Kalani High School, is awaiting word on if she has been accepted into medical school.

She said she is looking to forward becoming a

physician and doing some pediatric work. Gaddis transferred from Whitworth College and joined the Wahine as a walk-on in 2008, a fact that brings her near to Takahara-Dias.

“I have had an affi nity and fondness for Courtney Gaddis,” said Takahara-Dias. “Our beginnings as walk-ons are very similar. As a walk-on, she had to prove herself every day, and she has exceeded all our expectations.”

Like Gaddis, Mingo’s athletic career will come to an end after this season. Mingo, a native of Mahaica, Guyana, has some work to do before she graduates, as she has aanother an other semester of school comt to plete. But she said she is

going to try get into the workforce after graduation.

“Carlotta Mingo is such a valuable asset to the team,” said Takahara-Dias. “She never once pouted or complained or was negative when she didn’t get the playing time. She knows that her job is to work hard day in and day out, and that is what makes her special. She has been such a joy and an inspiration to coach.”

Arbuckle, on the other hand, has received a lot of playing time as one of the greatest defenders and shot-blockers to have ever played at Hawai‘i.

Hawai i. The native of Chandler, Ariz., hopes to play overseas after her career is mothdone, or follow her er’s footsteps and become a coach.

“What we’ll miss most is her sense of humor and her ability to keep everyone in check,” said Takahara-Dias. “She has been a joy to coach for that reason. …

Yes she can certainly ball, but she’s brought so much character to our team.”

Like Arbuckle, Dew hopes to continue her athletic career after graduation. Dew, a native of Auckland, New Zealand, is a member of the New Zealand national team, which has a shot at one of the fi ve remaining spots for the 2012 Olympic Games in London.

“Rebecca been a fourRebecca Dew has b team, but that year player on this team has not stopped her ffrom being workers on the one of the hardest work “Even team,” said Takahara-Dias.

Takahara-D taken some of though others have tak her playing time, she has h become a First Team Academic All-American for four years, the fi rst Wahine basketball player to do that.

So despite everything, e become very she has be successful.” success

Getting a degree in four years is fi nancially ideal. So why do many students at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa take longer to graduate? Ka Leo asked students to share how the UH Mānoa system is working – or not working – for them. Look out for future articles on counseling, getting classes and graduating on time at UH Mānoa.

Fire aftermath Information safe from lower campus fire EMI A IKO Associate News Editor

Even after a week, nearby residents continued to smell smoke from the debris of a stubborn blaze that destroyed the fiscal management and procurement office building on lower campus.

As the fi re investigators determined that the fi re was unintentional, the damaged structure was cleared for demolition on Tuesday.

According to the investigation, an electrical wiring malfunction produced heat inside the walls before fi re broke out and ignited combustible material.

“The key element [was] the metal layers that created channels for the fire and the heat of the fire to move through [the walls]. … The fire actually extended up on the roof to spread laterally but wasn’t showing,” said Honolulu Fire Captain Terry Seelig.

The 30 -year-old wooden building was a system-level fiscal

office, serving all 10 University of Hawai‘i campuses. Many students and faculty were concerned about payroll and student loans.

But officials assured students that all data can be retrieved.

“We were glad to find out that we lost nothing that we can’t recreate, either reconstruct or original documents that are preserved electronically. So we ended being in a lot better shape than we thought we were or might have reported on Sunday [Feb. 12],” said Lynne Waters, vice president for external affairs and university relations.

P R I VAC Y C O N C E R N S Although payroll and loan information was backed up in the computer system, some students raised questions about security codes and how the personal information was kept.

“We treat that as any fiscal office. We are very careful with

Documents such as original promissory notes associated with student loans were kept in fireproof cabinets and were recovered undamaged.

“We worked closely with the fire department, and once we were able to bring these out, we had Campus Security on the

ground immediately to protect the information,” said Waters.

“Chain of security was kept, basically so that information was protected and not lying open for the general public.”

The fi re caused $1.5 million in damage to the building and contents. But Waters said “insurance will cover a good portion of it.”

Selling out?

DAMIAN LYMAN Staff Writer

WWW.KALEO.ORG

Just over a decade ago, there existed an ever-present fear of your favorite band “selling out.�

At the beginning of the 2000s, there was a sudden inf lux of ads that used Ramones songs. Vonage, AT&T, and the A lvin and the Chipmunks video game all took advantage of its iconic pop -punk sing-alongs. Diet Pep si used “Blitzkrieg Bop� in a commercial where a group of CGI Pepsi cans danced in a refrigerator. Of course, Ramones fans lamented this onslaught. The term “sellout � was f lung around with abandon. Today though, this label seems out of touch and a little naive.

Since the days when companies sought the coveted hippie demographic with far-out music and ad design, the synergy between counterculture music and mainstream advertising has been a rocky one with fans. In 2012, however, much of the old indie-band wariness of corporate hand-shaking has disappeared.

For its high-proďŹ le Super Bowl ad this year, “Vampire Party,â€? Audi used the track “The Killing Moonâ€? from underrated 1980s indie band Echo and the Bunnymen.

M83 released an epic album of arena-synth with last year’s “Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming.� The crowning achievement of the album, “Midnight City� is one of 2011’s best rock singles. Naturally then, Victoria’s Secret used the song to sell underwear.

“I’m not going to make tons of money with my music because it’s hard, because I don’t sell a lot of albums,�

M83 singer Anthony Gonzalez said in an interview with avclub.com. “Obviously, when I ďŹ rst composed the song, I really didn’t have the bras and panties in mind.â€?

Gonzalez’s ďŹ nancially pragmatic approach to marketing seems to have become the norm in 2012. Phoenix’s instantly recognizable single “1901â€? was bought by Cadillac last year and helped launch Phoenix’s marginally famous career into the mainstream.

Indie pinup girl and perpetual quirk machine Zooey Deschanel is now the voice of Cotton: The Fabric of Our Lives.

The new “reach whoever, however� ethos makes sense, of course.

The music industry is a victim of the digital age, like every other industry on Earth – except technology. The romantic notion of getting $1 million to do your ďŹ rst album after landing a big record deal has given way to more guerrilla tactics.

Even known bands have adopted the new ethos. Neon Indian, who has enjoyed a surge in popularity in recent years, released a song on Mountain Dew’s Green Label Sound.

Mountain Dew as a product might be the antithesis of rock ’n’ roll, but as lead singer A lan Palomo pointed out to pitchfork. com, it ’s up to the fan to draw distinctions. “I think the bands that say ‘yes’ are the ones that are ďŹ guring out how they can even do this,â€? Palomo

said. “But I think anyone that would like the music for what it is should realize that I’m not telling you to clear that sweet ramp and then have a swig of some energy drink – although that image in my head is pretty hilarious.�

COURTESY OF KELLY ANDREWS

The UH Symphony Band/Wind Ensemble will give their first performance of the season at Pearl City Cultural Center M AILE THOMAS Contributing Writer The University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s Symphony Band and Wind Ensemble will kick off the new season with its first performance of the new year this coming Sunday.

Both of these ensembles feature far fewer students than would normally be found in bands and orchestras. “The reduced number of students makes the individual responsibility much higher,” said Jeffrey Boeckman, director of bands.

David Blon, the new marching

band director and associate director of bands, will be conducting the Symphony Band. This is his fi rst semester at the university, where he leads the band in practices three days per week. “They have worked hard,” Blon said. “They’re going to give a good performance.”

Guest conductor Dennis Kaneshiro, director of bands at Kalani High School and a UH alumnus, will lead the “The Washington Post March.”

“The program consists of mostly Western music with some original music for winds,” said Blon. Boeckman, who is also new

to UH, will conduct the Wind Ensemble. The theme for its performance will be “The Eastern Gaze.” “[The program] will be comprised of how three centuries of Western composers conceptualized the East,” Boeckman said.

One of the composers, Evan Ziporyn, wove together two poems – one Chinese and the other American – in his work “The Ornate Zither and the Nomad Flute.” Maya Hoover, a mezzo-soprano singer and also an assistant professor of voice at UH, will be featured in this piece.

Blon and Boeckman are both thrilled about the recent revival of the Hawai‘i Symphony Orchestra. “I’m very excited and looking forward to it,” Blon said. A trumpet soloist from the orchestra will teach master classes at UH, giving UH trumpet players the chance to improve their skills.

The middle option?

A ILIA HOPKINS Contributing Writer At this point in my life, I am way too poor, gay, female and educated (though they may just add up to the same thing – beware liberal education!) to lean conservative. And yet regardless of my perceived socioeconomic and/ or psychosexual status, I believe there are some less personal reasons why Santorum isn’t a good option for president.

Take, for example, Santorum’s stance supporting torture, Santorum’s stance on increasing military occupation in the Middle East, or Santorum’s stance on cutting funding for Pell Grants, which for many of us young Americans is our way out of a military career and occupation of Middle Eastern countries.

And just when you thought Dan Savage’s 2007 smear campaign did enough to spotlight Santorum (when Santorum likened gay sex to bestiality and pedophilia, activist/columnist Dan Savage, with the help of bloggers, created “Santorum” as a sexual neologism for a frothy byproduct of anal sex), Santorum ups the ante all by himself.

In a forum with Plano, Texas, voters last Wednesday, he warned that a new women’s health regulation would lead to decapitating Christians.

“When you marginalize faith in America, when you remove the pillar of Godgiven rights, then what’s left is the French Revolution … a government that will tell you who you are, what you’ll do and when you’ll do it. What’s left in France became the guillotine,” said Santorum.

“Ladies and gentlemen, we’re a long way from that, but if we do follow the path of Presi-

Yet no one is completely rational.

In his book “Predictably Irrational,” behavioral economist Dan Ariely recounts stumbling across an advertisement for The Economist one afternoon. According to the ad, you could get a paper subscription of the magazine for $59, a paper-and-web version for $125, or a web-only for $125. Why would anyone order a $125 web-only version when you could get the web-and-paper version for the same price? The answer: “Next to the $125 webonly version, the $125 paperand-web version is a no-brainer. Of course I’ll go for the combo if it’s the same price as the single.” And that’s when Ariely realized the marketing trick. By inserting a choice no sane person would consider, people are compelled to bypass their initial choice – the cheaper paper version – to shoot for the most expensive.

This happens in politics as well. I grew up in a state that elected – four times in a row – a notoriously corrupt governor because we preferred a crook over a white supremacist.

Seriously, those were our choices.

So Ariely’s insight resonates with me. Decision-making, especially in elections, is relative, not purely rational. So will his rational inconsistencies actually hurt Santorum’s chance at the Republican nomination?

For a while I viewed Santorum as a completely useless middle option.

Now that his campaign has caught momentum, I find myself asking – is this a useless middle option that CHRIS WARE / MCT people are willing to buy?

dent Obama and his overt hostility to faith in America, then we are headed down that road.”

That’s right. Separation of religion and state leads to the guillotine, folks. Because we all know how supporting women and their health only leads to disaster (or at least a thinly veiled penis-lopping metaphor).

Aside from being historically ass-backwards, Santorum’s metaphor betrays a certain, how do you say, insanity.

‘Bows hope to ground Seahawks from back page

SHINICHI TOYAMA / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

UH takes on Wagner College on Thursday night.

P RO B L E M S O N T H E MO U N D

THE BATTLE FOR MOMENTUM

The main problem for the Rainbows has been their sudden lack of defense.

In the first two matchups of the Oregon series, UH gave up four runs in 21 innings. However, in the final pair of games, it surrendered 26 runs in 18 innings. “ We have to work on pitching better,” said Trapasso, “ We’ve got two starting pitchers returning and then after that it ’s see what happens.”

One bright spot on UH’s pitching staff is senior right-hander Matt Sisto, who kept his opponent scoreless for seven innings in the Rainbows’ season opener against Oregon. The ’Bows ace also recorded five strikeouts while only giving up two hits.

Sisto will be on the hill for UH to start the first game of the series on Thursday.

This series will prove to be crucial for both teams involved.

On one hand, the ’Bows will be looking to prove that their series with Oregon was a fluke by dominating a far less-heralded opponent.

On the other hand, Wagner will hope to start their season on the right foot by collecting a few wins against an opponent while playing as far away from their home state of New York as possible.

In spite of his team being on a threegame losing streak, Trapasso is confident that the Rainbows will finish this year on a high note. “ We’ll get better,” Trapasso said. “ This team’s going to continue to improve and by the end of the year, this is going to be a good club.”

Rainbows look for a change-up against Wagner JOEY R AMIREZ Associate Sports Editor After beginning their 2012 campaign against a nationally ranked Oregon squad, the Hawai‘i baseball team (1-3) is seeking a significantly better result against a much different opponent.

“From here, we just have to improve and learn from our mistakes and get better,” senior right fielder Zack Swasey said after losing to the Ducks on Monday.

This Thursday, UH hopes to right the ship in a five -game series against Wagner College.

Although the series against

Oregon was disappointing for UH, it will serve as an advantage against their next opponent.

W hile the Rainbows were gaining experience by playing the No. 27 team in the nation, Wagner was still concluding their preseason.

“I hope we can learn from here and get better,” said Swasey, “ They haven’t had that chance.”

S E A H AW K S P R E PA R I N G FOR FLIGHT W hile the ‘Bows are hoping to win their third straight conference title, Wagner is heading down the path of redemption.

The Seahawks finished

sixth in the Northeast Conference last year and are looking to return to their 2009 form when they last won a conference championship.

Unfortunately for Wagner, the path back to the NEC Tournament will prove to be an uphill battle as they have been picked to finish in seventh place.

However, Hawai‘i head coach Mike Trapasso insists that the team is not overly concerned with what kind of team their opponent is.

“It’s less, this time of year, about who you’re playing and more about what you’re doing,” Trapasso said. “So we just focus on ourselves.”
