Hawai‘i Five-0 films at UH Mānoa for upcoming episode TAYLOR MORRIS Staff Writer The hit TV show Hawai‘i Five-0 will bring publicity to the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa through an episode in the show’s second season. Though there has already been filming on campus, Hawai‘i Five-0 will also be at the UH Rainbow Wahine Volleyball game this Saturday. “This is a very big thing for the University of Hawai‘i on many levels,” said Tracy Orillo-Donovan, public information officer at UH Mānoa. Filming for the e p i -
sode has already taken place at various places in the Stan Sheriff Center and at T.C. Ching Field. These locations were necessary because the plot of the episode involves a UH Mānoa head volleyball coach. This is the fi rst time that the UH name and logo have been permitted clearance for use in a commercial television show. In order for Hawai‘i Five-0 to be affi liated with the university, it had to guarantee the university would be portrayed favorably. “We wanted to make sure that UH is projected in the most positive way,” stated Orillo-Donovan. In order to ensure this, UH worked
closely with Hawai‘i Five-0 in the production of the episode. OrilloDonovan said, “We were able to work with the producers, director and writers to make sure we were comfortable with everything.” With this special addition to the game, Saturday’s matchup may surpass the attendance record of any UH Rainbow Wahine Volleyball game in the last five years. The current record is 7,300, and 7,200 tickets had been sold for Saturday’s game as of Wednesday. The publicity may also help to improve future athletic recruitment. When recruiting athletes, UH coaches of all sports look to athletes on the mainland as well as Hawai‘i, so many of them were interested in learning more about the film-
ing. Being able to say that a popular television show like Hawai‘i Five-0 was filmed at an athletic event gives these coaches a selling point for potential recruits. “It gives it more of an edge,” said Orillo-Donovan. The show’s publicist stated that about 30 minutes after the game ends, Hawai‘i Five-0’s crew will begin filming. Anyone who would like to be a part of the “real” crowd shots and action shots of “acting” volleyball players is welcome to stay. Those who stay for the fi lming will have a chance to win raffle tickets and exclusive t-shirts. Hawai‘i Five-0 officials have expressed a hope to see a high-energy crowd clad in UH green. The rest of the episode was completed as of Aug. 29, so the scene at the game is the last to be shot. The episode is scheduled to air on Oct. 17 on CBS.

University of Hawai‘i football fans were surprised with a first look at a new promotional music video for UH at the game against Colorado University on Sept. 3. The video, titled “Lifestyles,” featured actual students and faculty members of the university. Meant to appeal to young people, the video features a catchy tune and shots of students having nonstop fun, whether in the dorms or all across campus. “It was super cute,” said freshman Julie Au, “It looked really professional; like they put a lot of hard work into it.” The video was put together by local production company 1001 Stories, which is run by a group of University of Hawai‘i Academy for Creative Media alumni. The company was hired by the Chancellor’s Office to produce this commercial as part of its recruitment campaign. A great amount of effort went into creating a polished

and professional look and feel for “Lifestyles.” Some of the shots were ver y difficult to film, such as one in which students danced underwater at the Duke Kahanamoku Aquatic Complex. The scene required almost 25 takes to perfect. The video has received consistently good reviews since its release. On the University of Hawai‘i YouTube channel, it has reached over five thousand views. UH is not the first university to employ promotional videos as a means of recruitment. Universities all over the world have been doing this for decades; however, most are focused less on student lifestyles and more on what the university can offer students academically. By creating a music video and veering away from conventional promotional videos, which are often shot lik epublic service announcements, recruiters are catering to the interests of the average student. “Making a music video instead of the standard promotional was a great idea, especially since
everyone in the video was so into it,” said junior Sandy Cavan. “This will definitely grab people’s attention and get them interested in all that UH has to offer.” “L ifest yles” is the latest promot ional adver t isement to be released. Others in the se r ies include “ Explore,” highlight ing Mānoa’s land, sea and space research facilit ies; “One Day,” feat ur ing the range of academic oppor t unit ies ava il able; and “A lways,” which fo cuses on the Nat ive Hawa iian st udent exper ience. “UHM has produced and aired a number of excellent commercials highlighting academics, research and cultural offerings,” said A lan Yang, associate vice chancellor for students and enrollment management. “ W hat we wanted was one highlighting students and the energy and vibrancy of student life at Mānoa. I think the new one, combined with the previously produced ones, presents UHM from a variety of perspectives and speaks to a variety of audiences.”

DAMIAN LYMAN N Contributing Writer ter John Maus is an interesting guy. He studied experimental music in California, ifornia, got a philosophy degree ee in Switzerland, and after fter a brief teaching stint nt at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa a couple of years back, he’s currently working toward a Ph.D. in political philosophy. That may seem like a full plate, but he’s also made time to become a critically acclaimed champion of dark, nostalgic pop music. “He got super inntense when he was into nto a topic, the way he’d gesture and grit his teeth,” eeth,” said former student David Hogan. “He asked everyone ryone to write down their three favorite bands on the fi rst day of class … but he never talked ed about his own musical endeavors.” Although his background is in experimental music, Maus realized the genre had already been taken to its logical extreme by composers like John Cage. So Maus headed in a different direction. “I take seriously that it’s perhaps our task as artists to make [music] an intensive use of a major language,” Maus said in an interview with theDRONE, an online music website. The major language he is referring to is pop music, and his newest album, “We Must Become the Pitiless Censors of Ourselves,” proves that he is fl uent. The album’s instrumentation is sparse, consisting of layers of synthesizers over a
JUSTIN NICHOLAS KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
drum machine and simple bass lines. No distorted trombones or bike wheels as rhythmic devices here – the album revels in the simple pleasures of chord change and melody. The album’s vocal delivery and production are the small fl airs that offer interest. Maus has a habit of turning the reverb and echo up to 11, and this makes for a very karaoke room-reminiscent fi nal product (in a good way). Vocally, Maus’ baritone borrows heavily from ‘80s goth, namely Ian Curtis of Joy Division. Maus also carries on that proud tradition of American rock singers sounding as if they have British accents. “Hey Moon,” a duet with songwriter Molly Nilsson, is a love song to the moon for lonely stargazers everywhere. Be particularly wary of “Be-
lieve r ” ; the set of major-scale “oh oh oh oh”s in the chorus will lodge itself in some deep recess of your brain and have you humming it for 72 hours straight. Some tracks, however, come a little too close to falling off the edge into 1980s kitsch territory. The synth arrangement in “Head for the Country” sounds like it could be the backing track to a Revenge of the Nerds montage. The album opener, “Streetlight,” brings to mind images of Pacman, but its garbled yelps create a kind of musical irony when contrasted with the bubblegum sheen of the music. “[I’m] looking for novel harmonies, a sequence of chords that haven’t been represented in any situation for a thousand years,” Maus said. “I mean, we can do this in silly pop music, this language that’s just dismissed by some people as merely reducible to the mechanisms of capital.”

side, an overweight man by the name of Gerry Boyle (played by Brendan Gleeson), sits idly. Farther down the road, the car overturns, and its passengers lie sprawled on the road. Boyle casually checks their pulses, and upon ďŹ nding them all to be dead, takes the drugs off of one of the bodies. The scene perfectly captures Boyle’s style of police work. However, once Boyle meets his counterpart, things get interesting. Evidence of an international drug ring is found, and FBI Agent Wendell Everett (played by Don Cheadle) is sent to help with the investigation. They’re polar opposites, which leads to both con ict and comedy. Riding in the car one night, Everett turns to Boyle and says, “I can’t tell if you’re really (expletive) dumb or really (expletive) smart,â€? and their dysfunctional partnership begins there. Boyle takes Everett to be the stereotypical African-American cop portrayed in American cop dramas. He assumes him to be from the projects of Atlanta, and becomes confused when he learns Everett actually comes from a privileged background complete with annual ski trips to Aspen, Colo. To this, Boyle replies, “I thought black people couldn’t ski ‌ or is that swimmin’?â€? Meanwhile, Everett is having his own troubles in the foreign country, mostly because nobody speaks English. He interviews locals in search of the suspects, but everyone ends up speaking only Gaelic.

the criminals are exchanging cash, the “Is it all there?” line we know from every crime drama is deployed, only to be mocked for 30 seconds or so. If you’ve seen the Will Ferrell comedy “The Other Guys,” it’s the same sort of satire, just a bit smarter.
Rather than being an over-the-top Hollywood production or an artsy indie piece, it’s a foul-mouthed, violent escape from the norm. As an American, I’m willing to admit that half of the jokes probably went right over my head. Even so, “The Guard”
is pretty (expletive) smart.

All bank accounts are not created equal TAYLOR GARDNER Opinions Editor “How does one put together a democracy based on the concept of equality while running an economy with ever greater degrees of economic inequality?” Lester Thurow “Shifting Fortunes”
The rich get richer; the poor get poorer. It’s an ugly truth Americans have been facing for centuries. Ranked the 39th-worst nation in family income distribution by the CIA World Factbook, America falls below nations such as Uganda, Nigeria and Kenya. According to the University of California, Berkeley, the top one percent of the U.S. population receives an average income of over $1.1 million, while the bottom 90 percent earns less than $32,000. The highestpaying jobs continue to experience rising incomes each year, while the lowest-paying jobs tend to remain stagnant in pay. In addition to this stark contrast in income at opposite ends of the spectrum, the middle class is increasingly disappearing. The income gap is becoming less of a gap and more of a chasm. The Constitution declares, “All men are created equal.” Few realize the significance of the word “created” in that sentence. Every person is entitled equality in birth, but it seems the equality ends immediately after. From the lucky “trust fund babies” to the unfortunate children born into poverty, it is evident that “equal” in America does not extend to economic equality. With the richest 10 percent of America owning over two-thirds of the nation’s wealth, how truly equal are Americans?
Despite opposing other various forms of inequality in America – such as racial, legal, political and gender inequality – Congress is seemingly indifferent toward economic inequality. This isn’t particularly surprising, considering the median net worth of Congress members is $912,000, compared to the median net worth of $120,000 for American families (based on 2009 Congressional Data and the U.S. Census). This
i s where economic inequality stops being a financial problem and becomes a political hazard. Even the lowest salary of a member of the House or Senate, $174,000, places members in the top 10 percent of Americans. Income inequality would be less of a problem if social mobility were widely achievable in American society. The ability to move easily between social class-
es would eventually result in an efficient allocation of labor and wages. Wealth would ultimately be independent of the wealth of the family generation before you. The American dream promises the possibility of prosperity and success to those
Nearly every mainstream political nominee tends to have previously accumulated wealth. Often, that personal wealth is used to run extensive campaigns in which additional funds are raised. Despite the fact that a poorer candidate would better fi nan-
cially represent the majority of America, the affl uent continue to win elections. America once believed in fi ghting for equality: equality of race, of religion, of gender, of opportunity. It is the former that faces the greatest inequality. Every American citizen does not share

who work hard and dream big, but t h i s simply isn’t the case. Unfortunately, there are obvious barriers restricting social mobility in America, which are particularly visible in politics.
an equal opportunity for success, and economic inequality grows into an ever-greater divide. Barriers to opportunity begin within the educational system. In addition to the poor quality of the average American education, there are substantial fi nancial barriers within the system itself. The cost of attending college has skyrocketed in America, pushing top-tier educations at private institutions (where graduates go on to earn top wages) out of reach for even the middle class. With access limited to those who can afford the extravagant tuition (or those willing to take on years of enormous debt), there arises a self-perpetuating upper class. Generally, only the wealthy can afford to obtain the expensive degrees needed to earn top wages. This born-rich-to-die-rich, born-poor-to-die-poor cycle must be broken. We need to strive to obtain equal opportunity for each of our citizens. The poor must be given opportunities to succeed and move upward through social classes. The education system needs to be reformed to allow greater access to higher education while also improving the quality of the education itself. At the same time, America needs to remove the safety nets that keep the upper class wealthy. Tax cuts and low estate taxes for the rich in the name of “trickledown” economics rarely seem to reach those at the bottom. In their book “In Growing Prosperity,” authors Barry Bluestone and Bennett Harrison identify the absurdity of this idea by stating, “If you pour enough wealth into the funnel at the top, those at the bottom eventually receive a little of the benefits themselves. One might ask, what kind of decent society requires making the rich that much richer to prevent everyone else from getting poorer?”

Hierarchy of hookups When confronting sex, it is usually best to categorize what type of sex you are having, and whether you are comfortable with its current status. What kinds of sex have you had, or are you currently having? For me, there are five discernable categories that outline types of encounters and the underlying issues that accompany them.
C H E AT I N G Easily the botthe totem pole, ing is com-
tom t of cheatmonly frowned upon by every facet of ssociety. Very little controversy contr exists on the ssubject of cheating. Nearly everyone deems deem the action unacceptable. unacce
O N E - N I G H T S TA N D S Usually defi ned as a sexual encounter in which neither participant has known the other for very long. For a one-night stand, neither person should have any intention of anything more than sex. According to The Sun, more than half of women regret the activity, while 80 percent of men feel positively about it. Whether you regret or rejoice in the act, know that a person promiscuous (or intoxicated) enough to hook up with another individual on the fi rst night probably has the capacity to do it with another person. Don’t try to make a relationship out of it, because there wasn’t anything special that night other than the drink prices.
EXTENDED HOOKUP Think of this as the equivalent of friends with benefits, only you’re not friends. This refers to occasional instances of casual sex, of-
ten referred to as “no strings attached,” “f*** buddy” or “booty call.” You wouldn’t call him or her to hang out, you don’t really want to be seen with this person, but you will call him or her when you’re bored, inebriated or both. If you’re getting called between the hours of midnight and 2 a.m., don’t let yourself fall into some misguided notion that the person calling you likes you as anything more than an object to serve his or her needs.
FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS Despite recent romantic comedies pertaining to this confounding encounter, in the real world someone usually falls (or falls harder) for the other individual. Consequently, jealousy emerges, emotions run tense, and the friendship suffers. This is not to say that friends cannot form a relationship; in fact, I believe the most lasting relationships begin as great friendships. But if you are friends and decide to hook up, you should wait to either commit to a monogamous relationship or just leave it as a friendship.
R E L AT I O N S H I P This is easily the hardest category, be-
cause emotions are involved. In purely sexual advice, make sure you keep yourr partner happy. You ou don’t need to give up your source of happiness ness at the expense of your partner, artner, but do what you can to keep eep both of you happy. If you make him m or her happy, he or she will be even n more willing to reciprocate. Keep curiosity, enthusiasm and an open line of communication ication in your relationship. I refer to this ass a hierarchy not because of the importance off t each t ype of hookup, but because of the level of emotions attached to each. If you are having emotional ties to a one night stand, you need to re - evaluate the situation for what it is, not for what you want it to be. Where are you in this hierarchy, and – more importantly – are you happy? Email your comments, suggestions and questions to opinions@kaleo.org.

If you are one of the few who fi nds the act acceptable, you are presumably the one cheating or the person aiding the cheating. Caution: if a person is willing to cheat on his or her former partner, he or she is likely to cheat on you later.

Rainbow Wahine set to compete in UNLV Nike Classic JOEY R AMIREZ Contributing Writer Las Vegas, Nev., is a place famous for unpredictable outcomes. The University of Hawai‘i’s women’s soccer team aims to take advantage of its setting as it takes part in the UNLV Nike Classic this weekend alongside teams from San Diego State, Seattle and UNLV.
UH LOOKS TO DETHRONE AZTECS The Rainbow Wahine (1-6) are set to play two games in the tournament. The fi rst will be against SDSU – the most dangerous team competing this weekend. The Aztecs (4-2-2) are led by 2009 Mountain West Conference Player of the Year Cat Walker. The redshirt senior has scored five goals this year after missing the entire 2010 season due to injury. Rainbow Wahine head coach Michele Nagamine commented, “We know she’s a good player, but we’re not going to deviate too much from our game plan.”
JOEL KUTAKA / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
Sophomore midfielder Crystal Fresquez fights for the ball during the Rainbow Wahine’s 6-2 victory over Hawai‘i Pacific University at the Waipi‘o Peninsula Soccer Stadium on Sunday, Sept. 11.
One would think the key to a Rainbow Wahine victory would be to take advantage of the A ztec’s first-year goalkeeper Rachel Boaz’s inexperience. However, the redshirt freshman’s 0.94 goals allowed average and 24 saves suggest otherwise. Scoring on Boaz will prove to be a challenge for a team that has been shut out three times this season. SDSU’s season is highlighted by its 1-0 victory over No. 24 Portland. The Pilots’ loss was their first of the season and cost them their No. 4 ranking. However, the Aztecs are relatively untested on the road, as they have played only once outside of San Diego (2-1 OT loss to California). SDSU will need to prove they can win in the desert as well as on the coast. Senior defender Brittani Lum said, “It’ll be tough, but I think we can definitely pull it out if we continue to play our game and just focus on ourselves.”
ʻBOWS VS. HOSTS The second match for Hawai‘i will be
against the hometown UNLV Rebels (2-5 1). The hosts have struggled through the beginning of their season, having been shut out six times in eight games. The Rebels’ sophomore goalkeeper, Kylie Wassell, has improved since her freshman campaign by lowering her goals against average down from 1.45 to 0.95 per game and recording two shutouts. However, the Rebels cannot expect to win without offensive production – an area they have faltered in. UNLV’s struggles have stemmed from a mere fi ve goals this season, three coming from a single match against OC Riverside. “We’ve got to take advantage of that,” Lum said. “Go at them and possess the ball, not give the ball away in the middle of the field.” Fans should expect the Rainbow Wahine to take advantage of the Rebels’ scoring woes while simultaneously channeling its offensive prowess, as displayed in its 6-2 victory over Hawai‘i Pacifi c (2-1).

‘Bows bounce back JOE F ERRER Associate Sports Editor
Put the confetti away, toss the champagne back in the fridge and cancel your reservations for New Orleans. Following their 40-32 loss last week to Washington, the Warriors will not go undefeated this year, and that might be the best thing that could have happened for them. “We’re all competitors and we hate losing and want to win every game,” said senior captain Richard Torres. “But we still have our goals of winning the [Western Athletic Conference] championship, making a bowl game and winning that bowl game.” With a favorable schedule, eight returning starters on defense and a Heisman-hopeful quarterback, the University of Hawai‘i football team had heard all about the prospect of going through the season with an unblemished record. “An undefeated season is something that everybody wants, but it’s defi nitely hard in a 14-week season,” said senior quarterback Bryant Moniz. Comparisons to the 2007 Sugar Bowl squad came pouring in this preseason, as the Warriors had been picked as favorites to win the WAC. Now that there is no longer a zero in the loss column, those comparisons are over, and the 2011 Warriors can focus on playing their best football for the remainder of the season. “We still have to continue taking it one game at a time,” said Torres. “[Even though we lost last week,] our goals aren’t out of the picture yet.” N e x t up on the Wa r r i o r s ’ schedule is a game
at Sam Boyd Stadium against the 0-2 UNLV Rebels tomorrow at 4 p.m. Next season, UNLV and Hawai‘i will be conference foes as the Warriors leave the WAC for the Mountain West Conference. Hawai‘i’s run-and-shoot offense hasn’t been where they want it to be so far this season, but the Warriors have relied on their strong defense to carry the team. Harassing opposing quarterbacks is high on the agenda for second-year defensive coordinator Dave Aranda. He has directed a unit that ranks fi fth in the nation with nine sacks in the fi rst two games. “When you have a good defense, it makes things so much easier on offense,” said Moniz. “If we don’t score we’re not worried, because we feel confident our defense is going to get us the ball back.” The pressure has come from all angles for UH as seven Wa r r iors have brought down the quarterback this season. The sack party has been led by jun i o r

defensive end Paipai Falemalu, who leads the WAC in sacks with 2.5. It’s been a rough season so far for UNLV. The Rebels lost their fi rst two games by a combined score of 110-24. The 110 points they have given up to their opponents is dead last in the NCAA this season. Stopping the nation’s topranked passing offense last year could prove to be problematic for UNLV’s frail defense.
Senior quarterback Bryant Moniz will look to shred the Rebel defense like he did in their meeting last year at Aloha Stadium. In the regular season fi nale, Moniz torched the Rebels for 409 yards of total offense and six touchdowns en route to a 59-21 Warrior victory. This marks the third straight year that the Warriors have spent some road time in Las Vegas. By now, the players consider it a home away from home. “It’s like another fall camp for us because we all get to be together for the week,” said Moniz. “I feel comfortable being out here getting ready for the game.”
