Chancellor Hinshaw to step down K ELESY A MOS News Editor

Chancellor Virginia S. Hinshaw has announced her intention to step down from her position as chancellor in July 2012. The announcement came Wednesday in an email statement sent to the faculty and staff of the University of Hawai‘i at MÄ noa.

She wrote, “This is an opportune time for me to announce my decision to transition out of my role as chancellor during July 2012, to allow sufďŹ cient time to complete a search for a new chancellor.â€? No clariďŹ cation on why this is an opportune time was included, but she said she would be ďŹ nishing out the 2011-12 school year. “I would like to wish the chancellor well in her ďŹ nal year at UH MÄ noa, and the best of luck in whatever the future holds for her.

Her departure comes at a crucial time in the MÄ noa campus’ development, but I am positive that those at the forefront of these changes will help the new leadership of our campus transition into their role

smoothly and effectively,� said ASUH president Anna Koethe.

Hinshaw’s current appointment ends on June 30, 2012, leading some to speculate that her decision was related to the renewal process. Director of women’s studies Meda Chesney Lind said, “Her contract was up for renewal at the Board of Regents level, so I guess this is a response to that situation. ... It’s a natural time for her to think about, ‘should I stay or not?’�

Others, however, speculate that Hinshaw’s decision was a preemptive move. “She probably lost the conďŹ dence of [UH System President M.R.C.] Greenwood and the Board of Regents. She probably assumed they weren’t going to renew her contract, but I can’t prove that.

So I assume this is a way for her to bow out gracefully,� said Faculty Senate Executive Committee chair Bob Cooney. “It’s something either personal on her level or something between her and the system,� he speculated.

Cooney explained that

Virginia Hinshaw, who was appointed chancellor in July 2007, will step down in July 2012 at the end of her five-year term.

he is concerned about “intrusion on the part of the system into the affairs of MÄ noa, and control of various things that should be under the chancellor’s ofďŹ ce.â€? “So whether this is part of a continuing takeover by the system, I don’t know. The less accountable the people who are running the university are, the more problems there are. That’s really the whole reason we went back to having a chancellor,â€? Cooney continued.

Lynne Waters, associate vice president of external affairs and university relations, countered these claims, saying, “Chancellor Hinshaw did not actually have a contract. She had an appointment from the Board of Regents.

You will note it was for a period of ďŹ ve years. It was Chancellor Hinshaw’s decision to announce her departure at this time and with enough time to ensure the best transition possible for the incoming chancellor.â€?

When asked if the renewal process was a factor in her decision, Hinshaw instead cited strategic reasons for leaving the university next year. “Many upcoming projects will take 5-10 years to accomplish, so I believe UH MÄ noa will beneďŹ t from having leadership stability and continuity during that time. Bringing in a new leader next year will enable the campus to build on the current progress and ensure a positive trajectory for the years to come,â€? she said. “President Greenwood completely supported her decision and appreciated the concern she showed for UH MÄ noa by making that time available to university leadership to search out and ďŹ nd her replacement,â€? said Waters.

It is too early to speculate as to who will replace Hinshaw, but the process of picking a new chancellor will end with a

decision by the Board of Regents.

Cooney stated, “I think the faculty represent one of the most diverse and independent voices within the university, so I would hope they would have the largest role in that process. I think for students, they need to be active as well, if there’s a coherent view of where they want the university to go.� “Stability is something that all of us ... really welcome, so I’m more than a little sad that she’s announced her departure, because it means we have to go through another administrative change,� said Lind.

Hinshaw’s announcement email detailed the work she has done during her time at MÄ noa, including WASC reaccreditation, the renovation of residence halls, the construction of new buildings, increases in ďŹ nancial aid, the advancement of the Hawai‘inuiÄ kea School of Hawaiian Knowledge, the opening of the Center for Microbial Oceanography and other advancements. “I’m sad to hear that she’s leaving for a number of reasons,â€? said Lind. “I thought it was wonderful that we had a university president and a chancellor who were both women. Both of them came in at very tough times economically, for the system and the campus. I think she’s done a remarkable job given the difďŹ cult issues she had to deal with. There were a couple of stumbles early on, but I think the last couple of years have been remarkably positive.â€?

In her announcement, Hinshaw also spoke fondly about her time at MÄ noa. “I have enjoyed the MÄ noa Experience each and every day – working with and learning from our diverse community full of the aloha spirit – and that has created exciting progress in areas critical for the future of UH MÄ noa and Hawai‘i.â€?

Information Technology Services sent a warning email to the UH community following an increase in fraudulent email.

UH Mānoa target of spamming scam JANE CALLAHAN Senior Staff Writer In the midst of a lawsuit from alumni resulting from a previous University of Hawai‘i data breach, students and staff at several UH campuses must now be on the lookout for a new cyber threat: phishing.

“We have sent a warning to all people on campus – a broad warning – because we noticed a huge uptick in people who were responding [to bogus emails],” said Judi Ito, an information security offi cer at UH Mānoa.

Whereas the previous information leaks were a result of accessing a database system, the new scammers pose as UH’s Information Technology Services, contacting individual members for their email passwords and dates of birth under what appears to be an offi cial university sender.

The hacker will then log in to the victim’s email account and generate thousands of spam emails that advertise random products.

A Ka Leo staffer received an email signed “UH webmail services” which included direct links to the UH website and asked for the student’s password.

Many other students and faculty got the same email, which read, “Your email account will be upgraded to a new enhanced webmail user interface provided by hawaii.edu.” This type of email is particularly threatening, as students and staff have received legitimate notices from ITS regarding the migration of email accounts to Gmail.

The hackers sent several rounds of emails before the university alerted the campus.

“We didn’t correlate that to a huge increase in phishing messages until later,” explained Ito. The timing, said Ito, seemed orchestrated. “I think the phishing campaigners are getting smarter. They will target a large population of incoming people, [like] students at the beginning of a semester, because people think they need to do these kind of upgrades with the new year,” said Ito. “Students who are new, and See Email security, next page

coming from all over in the confusion” will likely not think twice about answering a request from administration.

ITS does not know how many university members received the fake emails, or the number of phishing emails that were sent out.

When asked if these phishing scams could result in identity theft, Ito responded, “Probably not, because the hackers that we have seen were strictly spammers who want to send out mail. There’s money to be made. ... The more they send out, the more money they can make.”

Currently ITS uses a system called PureMessage, which is designed to recognize spam email, including other suspicious emails. According to the ITS website, the program “uses a variety of spamdetection methods to analyze mail message contents. Some of the items PureMessage looks for are missing subject lines, or questionable phrases in the subject line or body of the message.” The university uses several other detectors to create a blackballed

list of spam servers compiled from other databases. The site reports that in 2007, nearly 4.3 million spam messages were blocked per day as a result of the software, and that number has steadily risen.

If ITS sent out alerts every time phishing scams were attempted, inboxes would be fl ooded. Warnings of phishing attempts were posted on the UH ITS page for fi ve days in July and four days in August.

“It’s more a matter of user education. We don’t want to send out an alert every time because it will fall on deaf ears. We are trying to get people a little bit more aware of these issues,” said Ito. Ito clarified, “We will never ask for a username or password in an unsolicited email, meaning you did not initiate the contact.” She added that one should always look at the sender’s email address; in this case, the sender was not a hawaii.edu email.

“Students tell me that just after they hit the ‘send’ button, something doesn’t seem right,” Ito said. “They should follow that intuition.”

TAC K L E BOX These phishing emails claim to be from UH, stating that in order to “validate” or “upgrade” your account you must send personal information such as: • your UH username or email account • password

• date of birth, social security number or bank account info Do not respond to such emails.

Tuition hikes K EL SEY A MOS News Editor

The Board of Regents met on Maui yesterday to review three proposals for tuition hikes that would take effect for the entire UH system after the Spring 2012 semester.

The Star-Advertiser reported Wednesday that the plans suggested by the administration could raise tuition by up to 46 percent.

According to Lynne Waters, associate vice president of external affairs and aniversity relations, Thursday’s meeting was just one part of a

long process that will eventually establish a new tuition schedule to replace the current one, which will expire in spring of 2012.

With Thursday’s meeting behind them, the next step will be to take the plan to the community for feedback and refinement. This will involve meetings on all 10 campuses throughout the state and over the Hawai‘i Interactive Television Service, the statewide distance learning network.

Then the Board of Regents will vote on a new tuition schedule in the fall.

The Welcome Back Bash will feature local bands like Kapena and a student fair for organizations and vendors.

EMI A IKO Contributing Writer The Welcome Back Bash, an event to welcome incoming and returning University of Hawai‘i at MÄ noa students, will be held this afternoon, starting 4:30 p.m. in the Hemenway Hall Courtyard near Sinclair Library.

The event will kick off the new school year, featuring free entertainment from local bands Kapena, Beach 5 and Inity Collective. Prior to the concert, there will be a student fair with various student organization booths and vendors promoting food, games and exclusive giveaways. Admission is free to all students with a validated UH MÄ noa ID. “Although we’ve hosted the Welcome Back Bash every semester, this particular event is going to be different and special from previous years,â€? said Grant Ponciano, of the Campus Center Board Activities Council, which is responsible for organizing events at UH. This will be the first time the Welcome Back Bash will include a student fair, which is intended to spur interaction between students and the UH environment.

Though in past years the Welcome Back Bash has been a late-night event, Ponciano worked to extend the hours, hoping to reach out more to the freshmen. “I hope it adds to welcoming students back on campus on the ďŹ rst weekend of a new semester,â€? said Ponciano, who wanted to provide more

than just free live music.

Freshman Erica Nakagawa, a nursing major, said, “I might stick around to check it out, since I am in school on Friday afternoon. It ’s good that it starts early.�

Following the fair at 7 p.m., local reggae band Inity Collective will start off the live concert. The band’s unique name comes from Inity, which means “being together as a group� in Jamaican street talk.

Band member Rexie Adlawan said, “I’ve watched the past Welcome Back Bash performances, and it is really cool to be on stage with prestigious bands that I listened to when I was growing up.� Adlawan is currently a UH student majoring in childhood education, and will be graduating this December. “This event is going to be a special and memorable one, especially because it will be the last time [for me] as a student. It is a thrill to be on the stage.�

The second performer of the evening will be Beach 5, a reggae band made up of Christian Yrizarry, former member of the band Ho‘onu‘a, and former UH football player Sani Apuakehau.

The night will finish off with Kapena, a veteran island-style band specializing in contemporary reggae-tinged music. “I am planning to go with my friend to check out the music,� said Huynh Tran, a freshman majoring in engineering. “It will be a great first college experience, to hang out with my friends and to meet new people.�

‘Apes’ rises to the top

NICKPETTIT/FLICKR

NICK WEBSTER Special Issues Editor Earlier this summer, I awoke to a text message from a friend that read “Lolololololol new planet of the apes movie.” It wasn’t until I saw the trailer for the now-released reboot of the 1970s franchise that I realized what was so funny.

The film stars James Franco (fresh from his less-than-memorable hosting of the Oscars) as Will Rodman, a scientist, and seeks to explain the origins of the primate domination shown in previous installments. The film looked ridiculous.

Turns out, “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” is a pleasant surprise.

Franco is a fairly consistent actor, and while he’s not required to do a lot in this film, no one will be complaining about his performance.

However, the real performance comes from a man the audience will never actually see on the screen.

Andy Serkis plays Caesar, a genetically-engineered chimpanzee adopted by Rodman after his mother was killed in a struggle at the laboratory. Most would not recognize Serkis if they were to see him, but he’s undoubtedly been a big part of at least one film you’ve seen recently. Motion capture technology allowed Serkis to play Gollum in the “Lord of the Rings” franchise, as well as King Kong in the 2005 film.

Serkis portrays a convincing

chimp with very human qualities and the audience will leave feeling compassion for his character, even at the cost of their own species in the narrative.

The majority of the fi lm follows a fairly predictable plotline but flows evenly. Rodman balances fi nding a cure for his ailing father, played by John Lithgow, and raising Caesar. While attached to his caretakers, Caesar eventually wants to experience life on the outside. He ventures out, and, as expected, gets in trouble.

In the meantime, Rodman begins a romance with a veterinarian from a local zoo, played by Freida Pinto. Most will find the progression cliché, but for some reason, it just works.

The end of the fi lm effectively sets up the potential for several sequels without pulling a cliffhanger.

We’re given a sentimental ending that both provides reasoning for the rise of the chimps and the demise of the humans. “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” is bound to exceed expectations.

VERDICT “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” is solid B-movie fare. Minds won’t be blown, but they won’t be disappointed either.

Japanese culture takes center stage in ‘Old Tokyo’ dance is said to spread good luck by warding off bad spirits. “Just as with the Chinese lion, it is considered good luck to be ‘bitten’ by the lion,� Chang said. “Therefore, people try to entice the lion to bite them by offering flat bills of money.�

In conjunction with the festive lion dance, there will also be performances by the Taiko Center of the PaciďŹ c Youth Group and the Kenny Endo Taiko Ensemble. “[Audiences should] expect to hear quality music, see a fabulous lion dance, and witness the talent of one of the top folk artists in Japan,â€? Chang said.

A LVIN PARK Features Editor The East-West Center hopes to evoke memories of history and cultural aesthetics with their performance of “Lion Dance and Music of Old Tokyo� at the Imin Center this weekend.

During the Edo era of Japan, Edo (later renamed Tokyo) was the center of government power, economy, social life and traditional Japanese culture, and has been described as the heart and soul of the Japanese people during that period.

In ref lection of this, the concert will include Edo Bayashi (festival music of Edo), Kagura Bayashi (shrine music) and Edo Kotobuki Jishi (Edo-era traditional lion dance).

The show will also feature Tokyo-based musician Kyosuke Suzuki, who is one of Japan’s leading Edo Sato Kagura (festival and shrine music/dance) artists as well as one of the most in uential Tokyo-style lion dancers.

As a graduate of the Japanese National Music University, Suzuki is a musician proďŹ cient in western woodwinds, piano, shinobue (bamboo transverse  ute), and

TREVOR Z AKOV Contributing Writer The 2011 academic year has ďŹ nally arrived, and in just these past few days, the MÄ noa campus has undergone the metamorphosis from a relatively quiet summer site to a once-again vibrant environment of busy people and bright futures. The campus is now ďŹ lled with many diverse individuals and groups from all walks of life, from all over the world.

For most of us here, this academic year is not our â€œďŹ rst rodeo.â€? A lot of us have already been through the shocks of freshmen orientation, moving in, meeting new people, familiarizing ourselves with the campus layout, and, most importantly, beginning to understand the daily rhythm and expectations of college life.

and personal development, and dozens upon dozens of extracurricular activities so that you can connect with students who share similar interests and hobbies.

The ďŹ rst few weeks on campus are a very hectic period of time where all newcomers look around to ďŹ nd their niches, their cliques, their spheres of in uence – their comfort zones.

But I must ask, please do not begin to set up shop already. These ďŹ rst weeks are formative. But this is exactly where social barriers and personal “wallsâ€? originate.

Especially if you are a freshman or transfer student, you must never forget one of the main factors that probably contributed to your decision to come to UH: it is an incredibly diverse and accepting university.

Ask anyone who has already been through college what they would do differently if they could go to college all over again, and certainly the most common response would be that they all wish they had explored more across campus, engaged themselves more – gotten out of their comfort zones.

Ask many of these same people what they regret most, and it would probably fall along the lines of them having prematurely formed their own little worlds, thereby justifying in their own minds why they found no time to meet new people.

With all the opportunities UH has to offer, every member of the student body is doing him or herself a great disservice if they fall victim to the simple excuse of not wanting to expand their network of friends and acquaintances across campus.

These students may end up regretting their inactivity, but by that time, it will already be too late.

So here’s a ďŹ nal word of advice to start on the right foot: next week, Campus Center will play host to the Registered Independent Organization involvement fair. I strongly encourage all students, new and old, to come

by Campus Center and take full advantage of the information provided by these student-led entities. Get involved in the hobbies you are interested in. And please, try a club or activity in which you would not normally show interest.

‘Bows looking for first ‘W’ of the season JEREMY NIT TA Staff Writer In her ďŹ rst game at the helm of the Rainbow Wahine soccer program, the team fell short of delivering victory number one for Michele “Budâ€? Nagamine.

Hawai‘i surged ahead early on a goal in the seventh minute by senior defender Brittani Lum, but failed to carry the momentum into the second half, allowing three goals by Washington State’s Eileen Maes.

The ‘Bows fell, 3-1. “We played a stellar ďŹ rst half,â€? Nagamine said. “We just played too fast and got tired. We deďŹ nitely made youthful, inexperienced mistakes, but we kept up with a very good team, and we did not get outclassed.â€?

Sophomore defender Crystal Fresquez has a positive outlook for the team. “We can learn from our mistakes,� said Fresquez. “But our mistakes weren’t that bad – just stuff we need to clean up.�

Senior midfielder Lauren Ho and the Rainbow Wahine look to bounce back this weekend as Hawai‘i hosts the ‘OHANA Hotels and Resorts No Ka ‘Oi.

LINGUISTICS 100 CRN 74633

Up next for the Rainbow Wahine (0-1) is the ‘OHANA Hotels and Resorts No Ka ‘Oi. The Rainbow Wahine will play North Dakota State on Saturday at 7 p.m., followed by California on Sunday at 5 p.m. NDSU and the Golden Bears will open the tournament on Friday at 7 p.m.

All matches will be played at the Waipi‘o Peninsula Soccer Stadium. Admission is free.

NDSU (1-0) is coming off of a 1-0 victory against Northern Iowa last week. Senior

midďŹ elder/forward Morgan DeMike scored the team’s only goal.

California (1-1) will come to Honolulu after falling to Pepperdine and defeating San Diego State last week. The Golden Bears ďŹ nished last season bowing out of the NCAA Tournament to the Duke Blue Devils in the ďŹ rst round. “The learning curve is going to be steep for this team,â€? Nagamine said. “But we’re going to learn really fast. Our team is young, and we’re going to get better just by playing in these games.â€?

Fresquez’s optimism stretches beyond the tournament. “The two teams are very good,â€? Fresquez said, “But we’re conďŹ dent that our defense can stop them and get the ball back. We are all on the same page now, and we’re all working hard together. We can win the WAC [Western Athletic Conference] easily.â€?

Senior outside hitter Kanani Danielson will lead the Rainbow Wahine this week as Hawai‘i opens the season with the Chevron Rainbow Wahine Invitational.

M ARC A R AK AKI Sports Editor “[We’ll need to] be as good as we can early, then keep improving,” head coach Dave Shoji said.

This task takes preparation.

“We’re just going to try to make sure [we] know who we got, who’s on the court and just make sure our chemistry on the court is the greatest we can have,” senior outside hitter Kanani Danielson said.

FIRST TOURNAMENT Preseason No. 10 Hawai‘i will

host the Chevron Rainbow Wahine Invitational this weekend.

The Rainbow Wahine will open the tournament with San Francisco on Friday at 7 p.m. and then face the Wichita State Shockers on Saturday at 7 p.m.

The ‘Bows will conclude the tournament with the Arizona Wildcats on Sunday at 5 p.m. All matches will be held at the Stan Sheriff Center. UH Mānoa students get in free with a validated ID. Hawai‘i ranked No. 1 in attendance last season at the Division

I level, and for the newcomers, it will be the fi rst time they play a match in the Stan Sheriff Center.

“I know I’m going to be nervous because it will be my first time in the [Stan Sheriff Center],” freshman outside hitter Jane Croson said. “[There will be] so many fans ,so hopefully I’ll be ready to go.”

SCOUTING THE OPPONENTS San Francisco will come to Honolulu after fi nishing 2010 with a 5-22 record. The Dons are led by sophomore outside hitter Malina

Terrell, who led the team last season with an average of 2.82 kills per set.

The Wichita State Shockers will enter the 2011 season after fi nishing last season with a 21-8 record and a spot in the NCA A Tournament. The Shockers are led by senior outside hitter Camri Zwiesler, who led the team last year with a 3.69 kill per game average.

Arizona fi nished last season 20-11 with wins against PAC-10 powerhouses Washington and Oregon. The Wildcats are led by

senior outside hitter Courtney Karst, who averaged 2.78 kills per set last season.

“We have the same outlook [to] just come in and, no matter what the team is, to play our best,” sophomore middle hitter Emily Hartong said. “We know what we can do, so we’ll just see how they play against us.”

The Rainbow Wahine welcomes the challenge early in the season.

“It will be good for us, for ever yone to get a taste of what playing against good teams are,” junior defensive specialist Emily Maeda said. “ That will re ally help us to see how we are and how we measure up against good teams. It will bring out the competitive side because [during fall camp] we just [played] against each other.”
