OUR VOICE

Student media needs a fee increase Support student voices The value of student media programs in college ranges far from just providing job opportunities.

Student media at the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa in particular serves as a voice for the campus and surrounding community.

This fall, the four student media programs at UH Mānoa are applying to become “leaner and meaner” by restructuring and increasing the current student media fee.

The current plan calls to officially merge the programs under a single chartered student organization, the Student Media Board, and to increase the current fee from $16 to $38 over two years.

The fee proposal provides desperately needed funding and allows student media programs to consolidate operations and oversight.

A survey to gauge overall interest in student media and support for the fee increase proposal can be found at surveyshare.com/s/ AYAIZGB. In 1983, the Board of Regents established a $13 fee for the Board of Publications, the chartered student organization governing Ka Leo O Hawai‘ i and Hawai‘i Review.

In 1987, a similar $3 fee was established for the Broadcast Communication Authority, the chartered student organization governing KTUH and UH Productions.

Despite drastic shifts in program structure, program costs and the media needs of UH students, these fees have not changed since the fall of 1988.

1988 was a pivotal time in music and history. George Michael’s “Faith” started the year on top of the Billboard Hot 100 and Poison’s “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” closed the year in top position. The Iron Curtain was beginning to disintegrate as Warsaw Pact countries started to allow freer travel from the west. Full-time tuition at UH Manoa was $1,090 and a gallon of regular, unleaded gas was $1.08. Some things cost less in 2019: a Macintosh IIx started at $7,769 unless the user opted to include an à la carte 40MB hard disc for an additional $1,600.

In today’s currency, a Macintosh IIx would cost over $20,000.

In 1988, Ka Leo O Hawai‘i, the biweekly campus newspaper, was printed daily. Program cuts made to operate with the same budget since 1988 are not limited to printing; decreased personnel, deferred equipment repair, absence from professional conferences, and the merging of the Board of Publications and Broadcast Communication Authority have also resulted from program cuts.

The student media programs serve as platforms for student

voices and allow students to engage with the community. Students may reach out to any of the four programs if they have story ideas and events they want to see covered. For example, Ka Leo and UH Productions cover every UH football home game by producing a video and article recap online.

If a student wrote an original piece or poem, they can submit it to Hawai‘ i Review for potential publication in its literary journal.

Students who are interested in podcasts can pitch KTUH ideas.

Student media also has an award-winning Mānoa Now app, an essential for UH Mānoa students.

The app features services that may come in handy for a student: the ability to track the locations and pick-up times of TheBus and Rainbow Shuttle, a campus event calendar, job opportunities and UH ID deals. For those on the go, you can also read Ka Leo, listen to KTUH and watch UH Productions videos.

These organizations are the one place that guarantees a venue for students, faculty, administrators and the greater Mānoa community to communicate not only to the campus but to the community as well. Any student can join the media programs; all majors and class standings are welcome.

A diverse team supports each program; business majors are able to work on budgets and management, while computer science majors are able to work on systems operations and the website. Students can also take on roles that do not necessarily match their major.

These programs are opportunities to learn leadership and professionalism with guidance from advisers and professionals in each field.

Students are given the responsibility to solve complex problems, similar to what they will encounter in their careers, in an environment designed to enable growth.

New Life Science Building continues construction this fall

CASSIE ORDONIO / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

The new Life Science Building is expected to be completed by February 2020. The new building is located between Hamilton Library and Moore Hall at the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa.

GENEVA DIAZ INTERIM NEWS EDITOR

Classes taken from the College of Natural Sciences and the Pacific Biosciences Research Center will resume use of their current facilities as the Life Science Building continues construction for another year.

The nearly $50 million designbuild project with Layton Construction Company LLC and design consultant Group 70 International was expected to be finished by spring of this year.

According to University of Hawai‘ i spokesman Dan Meisenzahl, contaminated soil at the location delayed the project and the new completion date is expected for February 2020.

The university began work on the four-story building during the spring of 2017 to provide 45,000

square feet of new laboratory and office spaces for UH’s biology, microbiology and botany departments as well as its Pacific Biosciences Research Center.

The Life Sciences Building is the university’s first design-build project—an integrated delivery process that maintains a single contract for both the design and construction of the project with a fixed cost.

Design-build projects are more likely to be completed on time and with fewer cost overruns than the typical design-bid-build process.

“It is a construction best practice widely used on the continent for a couple of decades now that UH has recently adopted, one of the first state agencies to do so,” Meisenzahl said.

The original cost of the Life Sciences project was $49.5 million.

Chlordane, a termite pesticide, was widely used in Hawai‘i until it

was banned in 1988.

UH processed a dozen change orders worth a total of about $4 million to deal with the contaminated soil. The university ordered its contractor to remove the contaminated soil and bury it under the parking lot at Kennedy Theater, a plan that was approved by the state Department of Health.

The contractor was able to bury the soil 20 feet deep at Kennedy Theater but would have been required to dig a pit more than 40 feet deep to dispose of the soil beneath the Life Sciences site, according to the report. UH finished the soil remediation project last summer.

Meisenzahl said the additional money for dealing with the contaminated soil might come from a specific budget request to the Legislature or could be drawn from a lump sum

that is budgeted for maintenance and modernization of UH facilities.

The chlordane concentrations at the building site exceeded a state threshold known as the Environmental Action Level.

Eric Sadoyama, remedial project manager with the DOH’s Health Hazard Evaluation and Emergency Response Office, said the chlordane concentrations found at the Life Sciences building are typical of sites that were treated with termite pesticides.

Some samples taken from the soil under the Life Sciences Building contained five times more chlordane than allowed by the EAL, but Sadoyama suggested that short-term exposure to the contaminated soil would not be a problem. He said a chlordane concentration exceeding EAL levels does not mean there is an imme-

diate concern to human health. It would take excessive and prolonged exposure to contaminated soil before noticing any health effects, he said. $60 million has been earmarked for the Life Sciences building so far, including $5 million for any future change orders. That $5 million has not yet been released by the state Department of Budget and Finance, according to Meisenzahl.

University officials have also spent more than $170,000 to make changes to the original design of the building to accommodate a “virtual lab” that they hope to add later.

Meisenzahl said that the lab will be “an immersive virtual reality environment with ultrahigh-resolution display walls” but also said that the preparation of the space will allow for flexibility in case there are any design changes.

QLC will have its first all-gender restroom CASSIE ORDONIO MANAGING EDITOR

University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s Queen Liliuokalani Center is expected to have its first all-gender restroom for Fall 2019 after a survey conducted earlier this year revealed that a majority of the faculty, staff and students of the building were in support of the project.

“We are honored to provide our campus community a safe space that honors all gender identities and expressions,” Interim Vice Chancellor for Students Lori Ideta said. “Given the departments and support services the Queen Lili‘uokalani Center for Student Services provides, it was important for us to not only provide outstanding support programs but also spaces where our students feel safe and welcome.”

The survey was conducted from January 23 to February 8 by QLC psychologist Kevin Tomita in collaboration with Ideta and Assistant Vice Chancellor for Students Sabrina Uganiza.

The survey reported that out of the 95 respondents, 85% were supportive of the all-gender restroom.

Questions asked in the survey were if occupants of QLC knew what an all-gender restroom was, their comfort levels, opinions and a list of places in QLC to build it. The survey provided comments for any concerns or additional comments.

“The survey was conducted in order to get a sense of individuals that occupy this building,” Tomita said.

“Specifically people who are working in the building. The reason why we wanted to do that in terms is to figure out where people are at in terms

of the creation of the multi-celled restrooms to see if there are any concerns that people had or preferences or any myths to be debunked. That was our baseline to make sure that we’re taking people’s perceptions into consideration.”

QLC’s all-gender restroom will be a multi-stall restroom that will replace the third floor men’s restroom. The construction is to be completed for the first day of the fall semester.

WHAT IS AN ALL-GENDER RESTROOM?

On July 17, a public presentation was held at QLC to present the survey and its findings for the all-gender restroom.

An all-gender restroom is a restroom that is inclusive to people of all genders and does not differentiate by gender or sex.

The survey revealed that 93% of the QLC respondents knew what an all-gender restroom is, and 64% said they have utilized one in the past.

UH currently has nine all-gender restrooms through the campus and 20 restrooms are single-celled, having only one stall.

“The single-stall restrooms are easy to convert into an all-gender restroom because you just throw a sign on it, and you can use it,” Tomita said. “But sometimes people have concerns about the multistall restroom just because of the set up. They’re worried about people being attacked.”

However, according to the Transgender Law Center, the Human Rights Campaign and the American Civil Liberties Union, there is no statistical evidence that all-gender restrooms are any less safe than

gender-specific restrooms.

The survey and UH policy state that no person should feel pressured into using an all-gender restroom if they don’t want to.

UH policy states that a person can use any restroom for any gender they identify as.

“I’m excited that we’re finally going to have a multi-stalled all gender and deeply encouraged that it will be at QLC because this is for all students at UH Mānoa,” Camaron Miyamoto, director of the LGBTQ+ Center, said.

CHAVONNIE RAMOS / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

The Mānoa Faculty Senate votes on a resolution to endorse the proposed School of Travel Industry Management and Shidler College of Business merger with reservations on Aug. 21.

ASUH to host TIM/Shidler merger informational session with UH officials Students expressed lack of consultation regarding the merger CHAVONNIE RAMOS EDITOR IN CHIEF

During a special meeting on Aug. 21, the Associated Students of the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa urged the Mānoa Faculty Senate to halt its vote to approve a resolution which endorses the School of Travel Industry Management and Shidler College of Business merger with reservations until students are brought into the conversation.

“Students felt censored as they tried to voice their opinions regarding this merger,” ASUH President Landon Li said at the MFS meeting.

Because of this, ASUH is holding an information session on Aug. 28 at 4:30 p.m. in the Architecture Auditorium Room 205. Shidler and Interim TIM Dean Vance Roley and Provost Michael Bruno will be giving a presentation on the impacts of the merger proposal and taking questions from students in the audience.

ASUH passed Senate Resolution 03-20, which condemned the lack of student consultation throughout the TIM and Shidler merger process.

UH Mānoa junior Maria Calso said in a written testimony to the MFS that no student or TIM faculty member had any answers regarding the merger.

“This striked a red flag for me,” Calso said. “How could the two schools merge if there is no set plan?

What will happen to the students?

The TIM faculty? It angered me to see a decision being made without having a clear plan in hand.”

Roley said that he was puzzled about the comments that students were censored, and that he did not know any specifics.

TIM and Shidler officials said that TIM students were invited to an informational forum regarding the merger by former interim TIM Dean Thomas Bingham on Nov. 14, 2018.

The students were notified by Student Services on Nov. 1 through a TIM school monthly update, and as a standalone invite on Nov. 14.

The forums were held from 12:30-1:30 p.m. and 3-4 p.m. one week prior to the last day of exams before finals week for Fall 2018.

ASUH said that student attendance at the forums was low because students were studying for exams.

“Although the merging could take place, I am highly against the event,” TIM senior Eisei Shigeta said in a written testimony to the MFS. “I will not agree to the standards that the faculty and staff could be teaching and will not take any opportunity that the school has for me in the future because of the merging event.”

ASUH urged the university to revise UH Mānoa policy M3.101, which outlines that the unions of affected employees and the Senate Executive Committee of the MFS will be given 45 days to review and

comment on the reorganization proposals and receive responses to concerns, to include ASUH as one of the consultatory bodies for reorganization proposals.

“Students are the largest stakeholders on this campus,” Li said. “If we’re not here for students, what are we here for?”

The Board of Regents chartered the ASUH in 1912 to be the student voice and to serve as the consultatory body to the administration for student concerns.

THE TIMELINE

TIM and Shidler split into two separate schools in 1992 due to concerns about control of curriculum and resources of the TIM School.

Efforts to recombine the schools date back to 2009, and was proposed again in 2017 in a meeting among chancellors, the Shidler and TIM deans and UH President David Lassner.

TIM started as a department of hotel management and tourism within the College of Business in 1961, and became its own school in 1966. This was due to the tourism industry becoming more popular in Hawai‘ i and the opportunities it gave students wanting to focus on the industry.

In a previous Ka Leo interview about the TIM and Shidler Merger, Bruno said that the TIM school has good faculty that can lift the current

reputation of the school, but is in need of new leadership. “(Tourism) is the number one industry in the state,” Bruno said.

“We, that is David Lassner, myself and others, believe that in order for TIM School to achieve its full potential, it should have the benefit of working with the business school in taking advantage of the business school’s existing relationships, their connections, their access to resources.”

The merger was originally expected to take effect on July 1, but was tabled until Fall 2019 during the MFS’ May 8 meeting. The MFS proposed a resolution to endorse the reorganization with reservations during its first meeting in September.

The MFS held the special Aug. 21 meeting to vote on the resolution because the Senate Executive Committee found out that Roley had a previous commitment from Jay Shidler, in which Shidler would donate $2 million to TIM to support research opportunities for the faculty if the merger was done by July 1.

Roley asked for an extension, and part of the deal was to hold the special meeting and have the merger take place by Sept. 1.

Shidler agreed to delay the funding and to also fund the TIM faculty summer salaries.

In the meantime, Bruno appointed Roley as the interim dean of TIM as of July 1.

At the MFS meeting, 42 voted in

favor of a resolution to endorse with reservations the proposed reorganization. Eight voted against the resolution.

Dan Spencer, a TIM professor, said that the faculty thinks it is a “good thing under the circumstances.”

“We’re not thrilled about losing our independence and autonomy, of course,” Spencer said. “But on the other hand, we’re not thrilled about continuing in the situation we’ve been in over a decade, which is, a long succession of interim deans, some of whom, who weren’t even in our field.”

The TIM school did not have a set dean since Walter Jamieson left the school in 2008.

Michael Cooney, associate researcher at the School of Ocean and Earth and Science Technology, said that the MFS resolution should be tabled until the students are consulted. Cooney highlighted that the MFS senators should think about the student voice, and that if the merger does not produce what students want, the students will go to the competitors.

“We’re completely missing that UH Mānoa has to reinvent itself in this very competitive market,” Cooney said. “We have to always have the student customer, I think, as the very first well of our awareness.”

The new recombined TIM school will be led by a new associate dean within Shidler.

Welcoming Michael Bruno as provost Defining the position

CHAVONNIE RAMOS / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

Provost Michael Bruno poses for a portrait.

CASSIE ORDONIO MANAGING EDITOR

There is no such thing as a normal day for Michael Bruno. His day includes back-to-back meetings with deans, faculty senate, student leaders and other university leadership. This is on top of being a scuba diving instructor.

Bruno juggles multiple responsibilities because he serves as provost at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, however, he doesn’t take all of the credit.

“I have a fantastic team,” Bruno said. “It really begins with that.

We’re really lucky to have an amazing group of deans that oversee the various colleges. I have never worked with a more professional group of deans, and I’ve been in academia now for 33 years.”

After serving as vice chancellor for Research and Academic Affairs, Bruno began the provost position in April as a part of the university’s reorganization. Under the new leadership structure, there is no chancellor for the college.

“My initial reaction was excitement at the prospect of helping to create something that had never existed here before, and working with a fantastic team of vice chancellors and deans to fashion out of this position a real opportunity to make a lasting change at the university,” Bruno said. “Positive change that can really improve the student’s experience on this campus so bring in a real way bring a world class research into the classroom and invite students from the classroom into the laboratory, onto the ships, onto the field with

our faculty—that has to be one of the real outcomes of this.”

But provost differs from his previous position–it’s a complex role.

A provost is the top person in charge of education. Bruno’s responsibilities deal with internal relations

the reality is that in today’s world we’re talking about the arts and humanities or any of the sciences and engineering,” Bruno said. “Real progress happens at the boundaries between disciplines not with any one discipline. When we talk about

The provost oversees all aspects of academic pursuits including both teaching, research, scholarships and the academic environment.

– MICHAEL BRUNO UH MĀNOA PROVOST

of the university, which include anything academic as well as budget affairs. One of the goals for a provost is to ensure that the university recruits and retains undergraduate and graduate students.

Bruno will collaborate with the university’s president, in addition to academic deans, faculty senate, vice chancellors, student leadership and other academic leadership.

He is in charge of academic priorities for the university and allocating funds to carry the priorities forward.

Bruno would summarize it as “the provost oversees all aspects of academic pursuits including both teaching, research, scholarships and the academic environment.”

GOALS IN PLAY

It’s a short-term goal, but Bruno said breaking down barriers at the university will lead to long-term success.

“We’re embarking now on trying to break down those barriers because

design, we can’t just talk about architecture and engineering. We have to look at the arts and some of the sciences. We have psychology and other departments that can come to design from a human perspective and human behaviors.”

Though his title is provost, Bruno’s previous work while he was vice chancellor of research and academic affairs continues the four overarching goals: to become a native Hawaiian place of learning and an indigenous serving institution, raise student success, advance research and build a sustainable and resilient campus environment.

The draft that was presented in January at UH Mānoa’s town hall meeting is going through a new draft that is near completion. The next town hall meeting will be sometime in September.

TRADING ONE ISLAND FOR ANOTHER

Bruno grew up in a predominantly

Italian neighborhood of northern New Jersey. His father is of Italian heritage, while his mother is Irish.

English was not the primary language in his household, which made it unique for Bruno because he started learning new languages as one of his hobbies.

He is one of five siblings, while his father is one of 13.

“I had a very special childhood,” Bruno said. “By the time we were growing up, we had 100-plus cousins. All of them living in the same neighborhood. We grew up with ready-made baseball and basketball team–anything anybody wanted to do.”

Not only is he a first generation American, he is also a first generation college graduate, which he relates to many students at UH. “I know we have a lot of students here who are in the same position,”

Bruno said. “Immediately for me coming here was a special thing for me to recognize. I appreciate that and the responsibilities that come with that.”

When he met his wife, who was a professional opera singer, they easily connected because of their strong relationship with family values.

“That was another thing that struck us when we moved to Hawai‘i is that in a lot of ways the Hawai‘i emphasis on family and extended family. It’s kind of a throwback to the kind of childhood I had.”

Other companies, including BeastGrip for smartphones and Canon camera, will be on the guest list for this year’s show. From September 5-8, Ric Noyle will be producing the event at McKinley High School and the Neal S. Blaisdell Center.

PhotoCon is a photo convention that appeals to creators of all skill levels.

“It’s designed for all levels of photographers and videographers,” Ric Noyle said. “I’m interested in attracting both professionals, amateurs and anybody that is like minded in the creative world.”

Prior to his event, photographers and videographers would need to

travel to other states or even other countries such as Germany for Photokina or to Las Vegas for the Consumer Electronics Show to view, or test out prototype gear.

B&H will be hosting a night photography workshop as well as some other camera companies such as Canon, Phase One and Red Digital Cinema.

“One of the things that Red Cinema brings to the table or to the screen is the quality of their imagery is so fine that they are really showing us that you can pull a still and get a good size image out of it,” Ric Noyle said.

That is considered to be amazing since pulling stills from a frame

would normally result in low quality images. With Red Digital Cinema coming to PhotoCon, who knows what other major companies will want to fly here to see what PhotoCon is all about.

One of the most well-known underwater housings in the underwater photography industry is AquaTech. AquaTech has been designing high quality underwater housing for SLR’s, DSLR’s, and has now released an underwater housing that is built for Apple iPhones called AquaTech AxisGo that has been making some noise here in the islands. The AxisGo system is an underwater housing designed for the Apple iPhone 7, 7 Plus, 8, 8 Plus, as well as the more recent iPhone X and XR. AquaTech will hold a workshop on Friday Sept. 6 in the Neal S. Blaisdell Pikake Room. The guest speaker for the event is professional videographer/photographer Zak Noyle. Zak Noyle will be talking about how he prepares for each shoot that he has as well as going over his understanding of tide charts, ocean swells and other conditions that can be life threatening. He will also be sharing some videos that were not only recorded with a Canon camera that had an AquaTech housing, but will also be showing some video that he has done using the AquaTech AxisGo for iPhone.

The other exciting thing about attending PhotoCon is that an attendee can be hands on with some of the equipment. One company that could possibly stand out is BeastGrip. BeastGrip has been designing video and camera rigs to take smartphone photography to another level.

Ric Noyle explained, “One of the companies that are coming is called BeastGrip. They make a universal lens adapting rig that you can put multiple lenses onto a smartphone. I’ve been using it quite a bit. Its quality is extraordinary and my iPhone does a great job as a camera already, but what this does is it takes this to an upper level that I have never imagined.

For instance, if I really wanted a wide angle, I can do a pano on my iPhone, but with their lens, their wide angle lens, I get a spectacular true professional quality wide angle. Then they have a 3x (zoom) extender and you can do a portrait, instead of coming right up to the persons face you are doing a portrait, you can be back at a comfortable distance and get a really incredible headshot. The clarity of the glass that they are using is extraordinary, I think that’s going to make a difference. Plus the feel of what they made is incredible. When you touch it, you’ll feel it before you use it and go, ‘this really feels good,’ so iPhone photography will be at PhotoCon, we will certainly have that.”

PhotoCon looks to be one of the most anticipated events for content creators of all abilities ranging from hobbyists to professionals. PhotoCon will provide workshops to talk to professionals, and businesses that for a long time could only visit the B&H website will now be able to talk to people who work for the store.

For more information, visit photoconhawaii.com. Registration costs $100, but students can register for a discounted price of $25 and must present a valid UH ID at the event.

107th year of ASUH Members of the student senate share their take on student government and their plans COURTESY OF ASUH 

Moving to its 107th year of serving the full-time undergraduate population on campus is ASUH, the Associated Students of the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa.

The members of this year’s senate say they joined ASUH to get involved, make an impact and represent students.

“ASUH is like a group of big brothers/sisters who looks after their little brothers/sisters which is the 10,000+ classified undergraduate

students,” Raiyan Rafid, senator for the College of Arts and Sciences, said in an email interview. “When the little ones are in trouble big ones protect them.”

Rafid is also the chairperson of the Finance Committee, whose plans for this semester is to help fund student initiatives and ideas.

As for this year’s student body President Landon Li, he wants to ensure that student input is ingrained into changes that will directly impact students.

“If you are not at the table, you are on the menu,” Li said.

Vice President Starshine Chun plans to work on the various concerns brought up by students like mental health services and representing part-time students. She hopes to get funding from the State for the Counseling and Student Development Center.

“The CSDC serves the mental health and career counseling needs of students, faculty, and staff at UH Mānoa and is composed of interrelated programs adhering to a whole-person, developmental philosophy and approach to service delivery and program planning,”

according to the CSDC about page.

Student government in college is different compared to student government in high school. In high school, student government is like a planning committee where members coordinate assemblies and prom. In college, greater things are involved.

“ASUH operates as an actual legislative body that has and creates its own budget, advocates on behalf of students to administrators, gives out funding to students, and also plan events,” Li said. “In the ASUH you have an actual seat at the table with

officials who want to gain insights on the student opinion.”

Sheena Carmela Juliano, chairperson of the Undergraduate Academic Affairs Committee and senator for the College of Education, wants to spread attention to scholarship funding this semester.

“We definitely plan to get our scholarships more heard throughout campus because we want to help fund you!” Juliano said in an email interview.

What’s that smell?

The mysterious funky smell comes from two trees at UH Manoa

ZACHARY OGLESBY / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

A skunk tree by Sinclair Library, one of two on campus.

CASSIE ORDONIO MANAGING EDITOR

It’s not a tree for most backyards.

Some may check to see if they have stepped in dog feces, and others cannot indicate where the smell is coming from.

The culprit: Sterculia foetida, also known as the skunk tree.

There are two such trees planted at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. One tree is located near Sinclair Library, while the other is by the Architecture School.

“This is a unique tree for the campus,” Emeritus Horticulturalist Richard Criley of the Department of Tropical Plant and Soil Sciences said. “We’ve got a campus herbarium, and it has a lot of unique trees. This is one of the types that calls attention to itself.”

It’s obvious how the tree got its name. In Latin, “stercus” means dung, and “foetidus” means foul smelling.

The skunk tree, which originated from India, has flowers that release the stench to attract pollinators such as flies. The tree blooms once a year, and the last time it bloomed was around May this year. The flowers are yellow and cup shaped with red around the rims.

At the peak of the blooming stage, the stench will last for three weeks. When the flowers age, they fall off and the odor decreases.

“The trigger for flowering is prob-

ably day length, so when it comes out of the short days of winter or goes through the longer days of spring,” Criley said. “The day length reaches a longer period of light which signals the tree that it is time to flower. We’ve got a lot of things that are sensitive to the length of day even though we’re in the tropics. Day length here in Hawai‘ i is only about a three hour difference between summer and winter, but that’s still enough for plants to have a clock mechanism.”

Criley said he had students ask him every semester where the smell was coming from. Some students would come from different parts of the campus to ask what the odor is.

UH Mānoa public health major Joy Gaceta works at the front entrance of Sinclair Library. She would also get students asking her what that smell was, but she could not give an answer.

“Whenever it rains the scent is much stronger, and I didn’t know where it was coming from,” Gaceta said. “It was just a funny smell to me. At first I thought it was trash.

This is an open space, so when it would be hot and humid the stench would linger in. I didn’t think it was appropriate for students.”

But the skunk tree is not the only plant that stinks on campus.

Outside of the Hamilton Library entrance, there is the Baker’s shower tree. It’s more recogniz-

able when it blooms in the spring, and it’s easily mistaken for a cherry blossom tree.

After it blooms, the seed pods fall off and release a funky odor.

WHY IS THE SKUNK TREE HERE?

At 23 years old, Joseph Rock arrived in Honolulu, Hawai‘i in 1907.

He was appointed as a UH faculty member in 1911.

Intrigued by Hawai‘ i’s plant species, the self-taught botanist was responsible for creating the university’s first herbarium. Rock brought 500 species of trees, including the skunk tree.

Today, the university’s herbarium is still critical for the study of plant species.

In 1975, the state Legislature passed the Exceptional Tree Act to recognize the beauty of trees in Hawai‘ i, creating the Arborist Advisory Committee. Each county in Hawai‘i has a committee, and their responsibilities include preserving trees that fall under the characteristics of an exceptional tree.

What makes a tree exceptional and worthy of preservation is that a tree or grove of trees has to have historic or cultural value, but age, rarity, location, size, aesthetic quality and other factors are also considered.

The skunk tree is one of the trees listed as an exceptional tree, which means it shall not be cut down or defaced.

Culturally Independent in South Korea Visiting Naminara Republic

 KAILANIANNA ABLOG / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

According to Korea Times reporter Shim Hyun-chul, ‘jangseung’ are wooden totem poles that mark village boundaries and can also be used to protect against evil spirits.

KAILANIANNA ABLOG OPINIONS EDITOR

Hawai‘i is made up of eight main islands, with more landforms underwater. Many places in the state are tourist spots, such as Hanauma Bay on O‘ahu and Punalu‘u Black Sand Beach on Hawai‘i Island.

South Korea also has its share of tourist attractions, though few may know that, like our state, the peninsula has its own islands - 3,358 of them, according to a 2017 CNN Travel article. While in South Korea, I found myself on one of these isles: Nami Island.

I did not think I was going to a culturally independent republic.

According to its official website, Nami Island, formally called Naminara Republic, declared cultural independence from the Republic of Korea and follows its own diplomatic and cultural policies. It was also declared a “UNICEF ChildFriendly Theme Park” in 2010.

The website also states that the island was founded by Minn Byeong-do, who began to take care of the land by initiating the planting of foliage. People who helped in the planting and cultivation of Naminara are considered “Naminarians,” or citizens of the island.

AN ISLAND OF THEIR OWN

Those who know of Nami Island probably watched or heard of the 2002 Korean drama “Winter Sonata,” which was filmed there.

According to Visit Korea, Nami Island is a halfmoon-shaped land mass that formed due to the construction of Cheongpyeong Dam in Chuncheon, 63 kilometers away from Seoul. The island is named after General Nami, who served King Sejo during the Joseon Dynasty.

Being more of a Korean pop fan than a K-drama fan, I had no knowledge of Nami Island prior to arriving in South Korea. When the opportunity arose to visit it via a SeoulPass tour, two friends and myself jumped at the chance. Like any visitor would, I expected an adventure-filled afternoon on an island.

GETTING TO NAMI ISLAND

Having gone with a tour group, my friends and I traveled from Seoul to Gapyeong Wharf before taking a round trip ferry to the island.

Those with cars can drive to the wharf, but must pay a 4,000 won parking fee. If parked for longer than 12 hours, an additional 1,000 won will be charged every 60 minutes. Shuttle buses from “Insa-dong/Nadaemun” and “Myeong-dong/Jamsil” are available. Prospective visitors can also take the subway by riding the ITX train’s Gyeongchun Line.

According to Nami Island’s website, visitors must pay for a visa; this covers the republic’s entrance fee and ferry fare. “Regular” tourists must pay 13,000 Korean won. Those 70 years

and older, as well as middle to high school aged students, pay 10,000 won.

Children three years to elementary school age, and those who visit after 6 p.m. (March to December) or 7 p.m.

(April to November) give 7,000 won.

For adrenaline lovers, a zipline to Nami Island is 44,000 won. This includes the island entrance fee and a ferry ride back to the wharf.

SIGHTS AND ACTIVITIES: A BRIEF RETELLING

BY THE FORMERLY MOTION SICK

I did not fare well on the way to the wharf thanks to motion sickness. Despite the ill-state, the time spent on Naminara was not wasted.

After getting off the ferry, visitors are free to walk around the island.

There are walking trails that people can follow that will take them through the center or along the coast of Naminara. The center road, “Korea Pine Tree Lane,” has trees lining either side of it, which serves as a neat photo op for travellers.

Due to the summer heat, a sprinkler system was set up in the trees, allowing passersby to be sprayed with water as they walked beneath the foliage.

According to Naminara’s official website, there are other walking paths scattered around the island, including “Gingko Tree Land,” known for its yellow ginkgo leaves in autumn, and “Cherry Tree Lane,” popular with visitors in spring.

We also walked by a handful of other island attractions, such as

the “Picture Book Library,” where young children can enjoy Nami’s collection of literature, and the “Nami Island Handicraft Studio,” where artists partake in various forms of creative expression including ceramics and woodwork.

Various gift shops are set up along different paths. Memorabilia such eco-bags, salt shakers, postcards and Snowman plushes (Naminara’s mascot) can be purchased, alongside other handmade crafts and snacks. Restaurants (with one serving Halal food) and cafes are also available.

Those who fall in love with Naminara can check into Hotel Jeonggwanru, whose rooms were each decorated by different artists. The hotel’s reservation page states that, for regular rates, room prices range from 119,000 to 169,000 Korean won.

Along the river, bungalows and cottages can be reserved as well. Bungalow “regular” rates go between 200,000 to 380,000 won, while cottages go from 149,000 to 229,000 won.

Additionally, Nami Island is home to various animals, such as rabbits, deer and peacocks, who roam around the island freely.

most memorable. For one, it was the first destination I’ve visited in which I was physically ill (and managed to push through). More notable, however, was the island’s history. Although Naminara was formed as a result of construction, it has developed into its own cultural republic where visitors can appreciate its beauty.

This reminded me of home. The Hawaiian Islands hold their own gems that locals and tourists alike can enjoy. While every place offers different experiences, each moment presents learning opportunities for one to understand a place’s history and value progress made in recognizing cultural significance.

If there is anything I hope readers of this column will take away, it’s this: while travelling, do not merely appreciate the superficial fun a new place or experience offers. While tourist brochures promote the beauty and “Instagram-worthy” areas of a city, do not forget that each place has its own unique facets. The true beauty of travelling is having the ability to partake in a country’s culture and history, enjoying the joyful aspects as well as respecting the points that may not be so “vlog-friendly.”

REMINISCING ON THE ISLANDS

I returned to the islands on Aug. 22 from my study abroad semester in South Korea. Out of the places I have visited, some mentioned in previous installments of “Ka Leo Abroad,” Naminara Republic has been one of the

Hawai‘ i vs Oregon State Preview

MARCEL SARAGENA / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

Rainbow Warrior senior wide receiver Cedric Byrd (6) finished with 224 yards and 4 touchdowns against Arizona on Aug. 24.

JONATHAN CHEN SPORTS EDITOR

Fresh off of an exciting season-opening victory over Arizona, the University of Hawai‘i Rainbow Warrior football team (1-0) will get a week-long break, before welcoming their second consecutive Pac12 foe, the Oregon State Beavers, to Aloha Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 7.

The Beavers and the ‘Bows have quite an interesting recent connection. Following the 2017 season, Oregon State successfully poached two members of Hawai‘i’s coaching staff.

Former UH defensive coordinator Legi Suiaunoa and receivers coach Kefense Hynson both left the ‘Bows program to join Oregon State’s coaching staff, and Sept. 7 marks their first return to Aloha Stadium on the opposing sideline.

Suiaunoa joined Hawai‘i in 2016 as a defensive line coach after five seasons serving the same position at the University of Montana. After an excellent season for the defensive line, Suiaunoa was promoted to the defensive coordinator position for the 2017 season. While in Montana, Suiaunoa served on the staff with Hynson for three seasons. Under Hynson, who was an excellent recruiter, the receiving corps was transformed into one of the team’s top units, led by a 1,000 yard receiver in Marcus Kemp. Kemp earned all-Mountain West honorable mention under Hynson that season.

The week 3 tilt will also see the return of former Hawai‘i special teams coach Jake Cookus, who last

coached for Hawai‘i in 2015. Led by Cookus and former punter Rigoberto Sanchez, who is now with the Indianapolis Colts, the UH special teams unit ranked sixth nationally in net punting yards. For his efforts, Sanchez was named to the Ray Guy Award Watch List that season.

Despite not facing each other in 2018, there was some controversy between the two teams that season. During the ‘Bows’ spring camp, recruiting packets from Oregon State were sent to several unnamed Hawai‘i athletes. The packages included invitations to the Beavers’ spring game, and were sent directly to the University of Hawai‘i.

“My apologies for our players not being able to attend your Spring game,” head coach Nick Rolovich tweeted. “Ours was the same day, bad timing. Quick question, in the 203 years of coaching, none of you realized you couldn’t actively recruit another school’s players? Sent to campus? #leakydam #sloppybeavers” According to the NCAA transfer rules, “An athletics staff member or other representative of the institution’s athletics interests shall not make contact with the student-athlete of another NCAA or NAIA fouryear collegiate institution, directly or indirectly, without first obtaining the written permission of the first institution’s athletics director…”

Following Rolovich’s tweet, Oregon State was assessed an NCAA secondary violation, akin to a “slap on the wrist” which barred the Beavers from recruiting the players in

question in the event of a transfer.

Back to matters of this season.

Oregon State returns four all-conference honorable mention players in running back Jemar Jefferson, Isaiah Hodgins, Trevon Bradford, and special teamer Andre Bodden, as well as oft-injured sixth-year senior quarterback Jake Luton. In eight healthy games and five starts, Luton finished with a 62.5 completion percentage for 1,660 yards and 10 touchdowns.

McDonald was pulled in favor of redshirt-freshman Chevan Cordeiro.

With the game on the line, Cordeiro led the team on back-to-back scoring drives to clinch the game. Cordeiro finished with 58 yards passing and 1 touchdown.

The running backs also appeared to have trouble hanging on to the ball. In limited action, running backs Dayton Furuta and Fred Holly III each lost the football after what appeared to be long first down

Okeke each netted their first career interceptions, while defensive lineman Manly Williams showed great effort on a chase down tackle of former Heisman candidate Khalil Tate on a potential game winning run. Following the game, defensive coordinator Corey Batoon was awarded the game ball by Rolovich.

Prior to the Arizona game, it was announced that linebacker Penei Pavihi would miss the 2019 season with a right knee injury. Pavihi was set for a big role in the defense.

Linebackers Solomon Matautia, “The team believes in both quarterbacks. They’re Jeremiah Pritchard and Paul Scott fully prepared when they get in the game. They are among those expected to help fill the void left by Pavihi. Center believe in the system.”

The University of Hawai‘i Rainbow Warrior football team won a shootout against Pac-12 opponent Arizona, 45-38, on Aug. 24 at Aloha Stadium.

UH’s last win against a Pac-12 opponent was a 28-20 home win over Colorado in 2015. UH had lost vs. Cal (2016), at Arizona (2016) and at UCLA (2017) since then.

Former UH and Arizona head coach Dick Tomey, who died this past May, was honored prior to the game and at halftime. Former players from Hawai‘i and Arizona were on the field to join the Tomey family, who were honorary captains and stood at midfield for the opening-game coin toss.
