ASUH recap: Peace Corps, riots and the GRE KEVIN HARRISON NEWS EDITOR

The Associated Students of the University of Hawai‘i (ASUH) have voiced their support for a Peace Corps Prep program at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa and their opposition to post-presidential election riots.

Established in 2007, Peace Corps Prep programs, according to a resolution passed by ASUH’s general senate, are programs in which students prepare for potential Peace Corps service through existing curriculum. Upon completion of the program, students are awarded a certificate from the Peace Corps.

Jannah Dela Cruz, vice president of ASUH and introducer of the resolution, argues that UH has a history of commitment to service and exposing students to international and cultural practices.

Her resolution also calls for the Prep program to be partnered with the Spark M. Matsunaga Institute for Peace and Conflict Resolution.

She also argues that by preparing students for Peace Corps service, the program is giving them more post-graduate opporunities.

According to the Peace Corps website, Peace Corps Prep programs are supposed to help students develop the Corps’ “four core competencies” which are sector-specific skills, foreign language proficiency, intercultural competence and leadership skills.

Universities with Prep programs include Purdue University, American University, Tulane University and the University of Virginia.

and Senators Shanda Delos Reyes and Micah Leval introduced a resolution, which was passed, in opposition to the riots that occurred in the wake of Donald Trump’s presidential victory, despite none having occurred in Hawai‘i.

GRE

ASUH’s committee on Undergraduate Academic Affairs also announced that it has awarded $3,591.12 to 12 undergraduate stu-

dents for them to purchase graduate test prep materials. The greatest amount awarded was $497 and the least was $149.49.

OTHER ASUH NEWS

The senate’s finance committee is also reviewing a bill to appropriate funds for their AS(YOU)H events in January 2017. These events are set up for ASUH members to meet with the student body and hear their concerns while providing food and

prizes. Currently, the bill is asking for $4,000.

ASUH is reviewing a resolution introduced by Senator-at-Large David Enriquez, Hinshaw, Leval and Delos Reyes commemorating exiting-State Senator Sam Slom for 20 years of public service.

Slom represents District 9 which includes Hawai‘i Kai, Kuli‘ou‘ou, Niu Valley, ‘Aina Haina, Wai‘alae-Kahala and Diamond Head. He was the state Senate’s only Republi-

can member and was defeated in November by Stanley Chang.

The senate’s internal affairs committee has completed its review of a complaint filed against Senator David Labrador which calls for the senator’s removal from ASUH. The committee decided that the complaint will advance to a hearing.

The complaint alleges that Labrador has neglected to perform those duties of an ASUH senator that pertain to attendance.

GradesFirst program looking to expand KEEGAN OHTA INTERN

GradesFirst, an academic program used by the Athletics department at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, may be expanding into more departments.

GradesFirst is a program that can be viewed by students and professors, helps the student to set up appointments with advisors or counselors and allows students to see their grades and get notes from their professors. UH Athletics has been using this program since Spring 2013, but is now looking to expand from athletics to other departments.

Ronald E. Cambra, assistant vice chancellor for undergraduate education, was involved in setting up GradesFirst for Mānoa athletes.

“GradesFirst had been one of the first companies that had come in and had specifically identified athletes as a population they wanted to work with,” Cambra said. “After they discovered how successful the programs, we’re starting to think in terms of upper campus.”

Statistics compiled by Garrett Clanin, an academic advisor for the athletics department, show that before GradesFirst, of the 17 semesters prior to it, only one semester had a student-athlete cumulative GPA of 3.0 and above.

Since GradesFirst’s implementation, every semester has had a student athlete cumulative GPA of 3.0 and above.

“Just this semester, the Mānoa Advising Center is using their first-semester freshmen cohort of exploratory students,” Clanin said.

“They’re starting to use it, as well as SOEST [School of Earth Science and Technology] are using it with about 120 students.”

Clanin also noted that the Mānoa Advising Center and SOEST will start using the GradesFirst program in from Fall 2016.

Ever since GradesFirst started in 2013, student athletes have had a very positive attitude towards the

program, Clanin said.

“I think they like it and appreciate it,” Clanin said. “Especially in terms of getting feedback from these progress reports on how they’re doing at any given point in the semester.”

Robyn Morioka was a track and field athlete at UH Mānoa and is now a graduate student here.

Morioka said that before GradesFirst, she and her teammates would have to wait for practice to get grades and results from the professors.

“Ever since GradesFirst, you’re allowed to make appointments online, view your progress reports, and make tutoring appointments, so it’s just a lot more convenient,” Morioka said. “It’s a

huge improvement.”

Morioka also said she would “absolutely” recommend GradesFirst to other students.

“I think the progress reports really do help out in the semester, so it will help other students out as well,” Morioka said.

Although expansion is being looked at right now, Cambra said it is currently in a testing phase.

“Right now, we’re using basically incoming freshman and new students in different colleges,” Cambra said. “If the program works, it will be to the point where we start making it available to the other colleges and other grade levels.”

My Bit: Standing Rock stands tall REESE KATO / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

‘Aha Aloha ‘Āina is a coalition of over forty Native Hawaiian organizations whose mission is to ensure the best possible governance of the Hawaiian people.

BROOKE ALCURAN OPINIONS EDITOR

Sunday, Dec. 4, was a monumental day for the Standing Rock Sioux.

After months of protest (including violent standoffs with law enforcement), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers decided to halt the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL), and look into alternative routes.

The decision is not only a win for the Sioux tribe, whose land and water would have been affected

by DAPL; it is also a win for nature conservation and the rights of other indigenous peoples.

Protecting the environment and the rights of indigenous peoples are intertwined. If construction of DAPL continued under Lake Oahe in South Dakota, construction workers could have potentially run over

sacred Sioux burial sites. The completed pipeline could also pose a threat to the cleanliness of Standing Rock Indian Reservation’s drinking water source.

Here at home, in Hawai‘ i, environmental conservation and respecting indigenous rights should be as important as they are at Standing Rock. Indigenous values and cultures can be used in informing government officials

about how to better protect local environments.

Honolulu hosted the 2016 International Union for the Conservation of Nature’s World Conservation Congress last September. Participant Joseph Kuali‘i Lindsey Camara joined this year’s event to shed light on how indigenous ways of life inform interactions with the environment.

“If you look at the [. . .] kumulipo,

the [Hawaiian] creation chant, [. . .] man is created last, as the lowest organism, whose job is to take care of the rest,” Camara said.

When it comes to looking for better ways to protect Hawai‘ i’s ecosystem, the best solutions may come from indigenous peoples, who have inherited the knowledge of and respect for their lands over thousands of years.

Could hope for America fall upon ballot recounts?

All eyes are on Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania DAYVA ESCOBAR STAFF WRITER

Following the early November presidential election results, there is significant controversy regarding its validity. The primary verdict of fault falls upon claims of ballot hack calling many to pull forth request that measures be taken for a recount to take place.

This theory falls upon an incident where earlier this year, US intelligence agencies blamed the Russian government for leaking emails stolen from senior Democrats in an attempt to influence the US election. We also know that someone — likely the Russian government — tried to hack voting infrastructure in Ukraine to change the outcome of the election there, leading to the

serious possibility that the Russian government could have used their hacking capabilities to alter the election. The possibility of the Russian government altering the most recent election is likely considering that under current law, election officials in most states don’t perform even basic checks to make sure that the results have not been modified by malware.

The first vital step in contesting for higher security in the ballots is for the Clinton campaign to request recounts in all swing states. While it’s not certain that the election results come down to a conspiracy like that of the Russian hackers, it is still possible; the only way to know is to request a recount.

Traditionally, recounts have been viewed as an extreme step that

should be taken only in the event of a razor-thin result like we saw in Florida in 2000. But in today’s era of hackable voting systems, these checks need to become routine.

It’s the only way to ensure that foreign governments or other malicious parties can’t tamper with the results of US elections.

A recount would not only bring assurance that the election was genuine, it would also enhance public confidence in the election, especially during a time where there is such great controversy and residual anger tied to it.

However, downfalls play out when considering the likelihood of Clinton requesting a recount.

Doing so may not be in the people’s favor since, throughout her campaign, she stressed the impor-

tance of accepting the election results. Skeptics worry that if Clinton were to request recounts without any tangible evidence that the original count was wrong, it could legitimize conspiracy theories and ultimately undermine confidence in the election result — and the democratic process more generally.

What these skeptics fail to acknowledge is that foreign hacking of the American voting system is a huge threat that needs to be accounted for. Recounts should not be an optional investigation left for extreme cases, it should be a routine protocol of every election to assure America’s faith in the voting process and the safety and validity of our voting system. By requesting a recount this year, Clinton would help to set a precedent that integ-

rity checks should be a routine part of the election process.

Despite how divided America is today and regardless of the probability of a presidential recount, we must keep faith in our American values. While I have personally been disheartened by the election results, I realize that if I allow ourselves to become bitter, sad and angry, I will only be feeding the negativity of which we are so defeated by. In this time especially, we need to stick together. We need to stay kind, stay warm, stay hopeful. Perhaps our new president cannot make America great, but citizens can.

Growing pains Rainbow Warrior basketball team attempts to recreate last season’s success RASHAWN WONG SENIOR STAFF WRITER

The new-look University of Hawai‘ i basketball team came into the season with low expectations despite notching a program-best 28 wins last year. In his debut season head coach Eran Ganot led Hawai‘i to a Big West championship and won a game in the NCAA tournament.

Hawai‘i is returning only one regular playing rotation holdover from last year’s team in Sheriff Drammeh. This year’s team features 10 new players who all joined this program despite a looming postseason ban and scholarship reduction penalty for violation of years past during the Gib Arnold era.

“It’s no secret there but we try really hard to balance that because you can’t use that as an excuse or your cooked right off the bat.

You sit there and find a way,” said Ganot. “No one is going to feel bad for us that we lost. No one is going to feel bad for us that we’re in this situation. We gotta get tough everybody and we gotta find the things we have to work on and continue to develop the things we the things we have been succeeding at.”

The Rainbow Warriors did receive refreshing news back in October, regarding the NCAA’s decision to reconsider the sanctions against them. But it won’t mean much if they don’t learn how to play with one another and get through the growing pains.

However, the ‘Bows are off to a 4-3 start and have suffered disappointing home losses to SIU-Edwardsville and Troy.

One positive aspect of this year’s team is graduate transfer Noah Allen, who previously played for UCLA. The senior is averaging 16.3 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game, all team-highs.

GABRIEL ESTEVEZ / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

Home losses to SIU-Edwardsville and Troy have been the biggest letdowns to UH’s season so far

“You always want more, Noah is going to have to carry a load and one of the biggest challenges going into this year was whether he would embrace more of an offensive responsibility. He is ahead

of the curve in that regard to be honest,” said Ganot. “Now can he handle playing more minutes, defending the other teams really good players? We’re throwing a lot at him, we’re going to continue to

push him and that’s the deal with your best player. You have to handle more of a load on all ends, leadership as well.”

Ganot has leaned on the core of Allen, Drammeh, and forwards

of the ball, and know what you’re doing,” said Ganot. “So we have to find more guys that are doing that.

I have to do a better job coaching them. We’re in it, we’re 100 percent in it, let’s go.”

No one is going to feel bad for us that we lost. No one is going to feel bad for us that we’re in this situation.

– ERAN GANOT HEAD COACH

GABRIEL ESTEVEZ / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

UCLA transfer Noah Allen leads the ‘Bows with a team-high 16.3 points per game.

Jack Purchase and Gibson Johnson early on in the season. However, he’s tried different starting lineups featuring guards Leland Green and Brocke Stepteau, and at times has used rotations with as many as 11 players.

“You need to develop your bench, you need to trust your bench, but you can always play if you defend, rebound, take care

This season, Hawai‘ i has a team full of different personalities and raw talent. With Allen being the only active senior on the team, the ‘Bows have the potential to grow and get back to the success it had in the past moving forward.

The Rainbow Warriors have already doubled last season’s win total of three.

Hawai‘ i Bowl bound UH will face off against Middle Tennesse on Christmas Eve MORE INFO

DREW AFUALO SPORTS EDITOR CHRISTIAN SHIMABUKU ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

The University of Hawai‘i Rainbow Warrior football team received their first bowl invitation since 2010. The ‘Bows will take on the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders in the Hawai‘ i Bowl on Christmas Eve. “It feels pretty exciting, we get to play with our seniors one last time again,” defensive lineman Meffy Koloamatangi said. “It’s just another chance to put on the pads again since the past few years, we’ve had to take them off.. It just feels fun to go back outside and practice.”

This is the Warriors’ seventh appearance in the Hawai‘i Bowl and their first since the Greg McMackin era. In 10 overall bowl appearances, UH has a 5-5 record and has gone 3-3 in the Hawai‘i Bowl.

MTSU is making its first appearance in the Hawai‘i Bowl. It is their third bowl game in four years and tenth appearance overall. The Blue Raiders finished third in the Conference USA’s East Division with a 5-3 confer-

ence record and went 8-4 overall, one of their victories a 51-45 road triumph over Missouri of the SEC. The Blue Raiders won six of their first eight games before quarterback Brent Stockstill suffered a broken collarbone. He also happens to be the son of MTSU’s head coach, Rick Stockstill, who is a former Florida State quarterback.

Additionally, MTSU receiver Richie James ranks third in the FBS in receiving yards with a total of 1,463 and is 15th in receiving touchdowns with 11. The Blue Raiders average approximately 40 points a game compared to UH’s average of about 26 points per game.

In his rookie season, head coach Nick Rolovich came into the year with a new coaching staff and a new mindset for the Warriors. After a 3-10 record in 2015, UH maintains that the goal was to work better as a team and towards a common goal: getting to a bowl game.

“The biggest thing is that the ‘H’ will be seen on Christmas Eve by recruits, by fans, by supporters, by the nation,” Rolovich said. “For a few years now, there’s been no ‘H’ in the postseason and now we know that Christmas

Eve, people will be watching Hawai‘i play football again and I think that is a good sign for our program.”

“He couldn’t promise anything, you know? Nothing was promised,” defensive back Jalen Rogers said of Rolovich.

“He just did a good job in making everyone believe in the goal.”

The Hawai‘i Bowl is set for Dec. 24 in Aloha Stadium. Prices range from $20 to $45 for adults, $15 for senior citizens and $15 for youth. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. HST.

WHAT TO DO AROUND O‘AHU IF YOU’RE UNDER 21

ERYN YUASA / BUSINESS EDITOR

It can be hard to find a good nightlife scene if you are under 21 years old. The drinking age aside, here are some fun things to do around the island if you are underage.

KARAOKE

NIGHTCLUBS

CONCERTS

RESTAURANTS

Karaoke has a strong presence in the O‘ahu nightlife scene. Air Park Karaoke Lounge is located nine minutes away by car from the university and is a popular spot to go for underage college students looking for a good night out.

Air Park offers 11 private karaoke rooms of varying sizes, which are useful for birthday parties and other group events. Your group can choose from over 120,000 songs that are updated monthly.

Outside food is allowed, but all drinks must be purchased inside. If you are under 21, you are allowed to book a private room at your convenience, except after 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

Located at Boda Café, Honey remains one of Hawai‘i’s only 18 and over nightclubs. The club is open seasonally and usually hosted as a fundraiser by an organization here on campus. When Honey is open, it runs on Friday nights from 10 p.m. – 2 a.m. and features local DJs and producers.

The club gives out various prizes through costume and dance contests, including gift cards to the UH Mānoa bookstore. Racesauce Events, the company that hosts Honey, also promotes for LITT – none-night-only events at Ginza Night Club for the 18+ crowds. Normally, Ginza is restricted to ages 21 or older, but for a few nights a semester, it opens its doors for the underage club goer.

Hawai‘ i is a place where bands from all across the world stop by to play concerts. Concerts are either hosted for all ages or those 18 years or older, depending on what type of music is playing.

Most rap and electronic dance music concerts are restricted to those 18 or older.

Concerts on O‘ahu are normally held at the Republik, located next to Ala Moana shopping center and a quick ride away from campus.

Upcoming concerts include Garth Brooks, Miguel, of Mice & Men, and Jhene Aiko.

For birthday parties or just a fun night out, Hawai‘i has a good restaurant scene to spend the night. One of the most popular places is Shokudo Japanese Restaurant & Bar, which is open every day for lunch and dinner and is located right next to Ala Moana. Shokudo is famous for its honey toast dessert and Japanese cuisine.

If you are looking for happy hour deals, you can check out restaurants such as Gyukaku, which has locations in Kapi‘olani and in Waikīkī, as well as multiple places on the west and central side of the island. Its happy hour runs all day on Mondays, as well as 8:30 - 10:30 p.m. from Sunday through Thursday and 8:30 - 11:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. They offer a premium all you can eat deal and do-it-yourself BBQ options.

Four boozy adventures Looking for places to go before you head home for winter break?

CHRISTINA YAN | SPECIAL ISSUES EDITOR

Students may complain about the lack of things to do on campus during the weekends, but just miles away from UH are plenty of options to keep you entertained.

Whether it is dancing the night away or exploring the high seas, there is something new to try out there.

CHINATOWN BAR HOPPING

BOOZE CRUISE

BEER SAMPLERS

WAIKĪKĪ

One street that has it all, North Hotel Street between Smith Street and Nu‘uanu Avenue may be what you need for your Friday night. Start off at Lucky Belly or Fête to get your munchies on before starting the night. Once the clock hits 10 p.m., head on over to the selection of bars and clubs available on North Hotel Street. Looking to do some karaoke? Smith’s Union Bar is there for you. Want to dance the night away, at least until 2 a.m.? The Manifest, Nextdoor, or Bar 35 are located just across the street from each other. There is a little something for anyone who does not want to spend extra money on Uber bouncing from place to place.

Get a group of friends together and head on over to Waikīkī to board the Na Hoku II Catamaran. This booze cruise is only $40 for an open bar, which is known for their maitais. You can also find Coors Light, wine, champagne, rum and vodka, just ask and you may receive. Want to go a little heavy with the vodka or the juice? Just make sure to tip your bartenders when you disembark from the cruise. The first catamaran leaves at 11:30 a.m. and lasts about 90 minutes.

The most popular option is the sunset sail that shoves off at 5:30 p.m. Make sure to come 30 minutes before the boat leaves to check in and get settled. Tied right in front of the Sheraton Moana Surfrider, listen for the conch shell as the boat arrives and departs.

Do you want to hang out with friends and talk while being able to actually hear the person? Try out some local breweries and get yourself a beer flight. Most of them change what is on tap once in a while so there is always something new to try.

Thought you only liked IPAs? Try a stout that the bartender can recommend and see if you might just change your mind. Close by campus, Beer Lab HI is a craft beer brewery and tasting room right on University Avenue.

Brew’d Craft Pub on Wai‘alae Avenue offers beer flights with beers costing around $3-4, if you go for the 16 oz it will be about $7-9.

They offer beers from here, California, New Zealand, Belgium and more. Watched a movie at Ward and not ready for the night to end? REAL, a gastropub in the Ward Farmer’s Market, is open until 2 a.m. and offers beer flights for $4-5 a beer.

If all else fails, there is always something to do in Waikīkī. Grill up some burgers and have an ice-cold drink at Fort DeRussy Beach Park. Afterwards, watch the Hilton Hawaiian Village’s fireworks.

On Lewers Street, you will find Waikīkī staples, Kelley O’Neil’s and Moose McGillycuddy’s, both open until 4 a.m. Want something a little more intimate? In Between Waikiki offers daily drink specials and karaoke in a space with only a dozen or so seats. Been a long night and are craving something to fill up your stomach? Walk to Wailana Coffee House, open 24/7, for some pancakes and finally some water. Sobered up? You can call an Uber and head home to your comfy bed. You deserve it.

ORDER IT YOURSELF, MAKE IT YOURSELF

STOP SERVING

Drinking: it is a college right of passage and a sure-fire way to blow through your bank account.

But drinking, like most things in life, should be done safely and responsibly in order for you to continue to enjoy it. These are some drinking safety tips to make sure your night out avoids a trip to the hospital or worse.

Never accept drinks or have drinks made for you by someone you do not know. It does not matter how broke or drunk you are or how hot he or she is; if you do not know them well, do not take a drink from them. Even if you are on a date, and it is your third or fourth time out with that person, do not take a drink from them.

If someone does get you a drink and you do not know them, insist that they got it wrong or that you have had too much already. If that does not work, then spill the drink, apologize and tell them you are done for the night.

As I have said before, bartenders stop serving people at a certain point because they legally have to. People at house parties are not bound to those rules, so, if you are at a house party, do your best to keep track of how much your friends drink and stop them before they reach their limits.

If you are the one serving the alcohol, watch for people who have had too much and cut them off when they reach that point. It does not matter how hilarious it is to watch them drunk-dance across the house or if you are waiting for them to take their clothes off; stop serving them.

It may ruin some of the fun if you cut someone’s drinking off, especially a friend’s, but cutting them off can save their life.

DO NOT LEAVE IT ALONE

ALCOHOL POISONING SIGNS

BRING/TELL A FRIEND

Whether you are at a house party or a nightclub, never leave your drink alone. If someone wants to date rape you and they could not order you a drink, they might wait for you to leave your drink alone so they can put a roofie in it.

Leave your drink with a friend or ask a bartender to hold on to it for you behind the bar. The best thing to do if you do have to leave your drink is to finish it.

Alcohol poisoning is not likely going to be a problem in bars or clubs unless you swipe drinks from other people.

However, it is a danger at house parties where there are no regulations. That said, these are the signs of alcohol poisoning to watch out for, according to the Mayo Clinic: confusion, vomiting, seizures, slow breathing (less than eight breaths a minute), irregular breathing (a gap of more than 10 seconds between breaths), blue-tinged skin or pale skin, low body temperature, or if someone is passed out and cannot be awakened.

If someone is seizing, turn them on their side and do the same if someone is vomiting. Also remember to call 911 if someone exhibits any of these symptoms.

Like hiking, drinking is not something you should do alone or without telling someone what you are going to do. Bringing a friend keeps both of you accountable for how much you drink.

However, if you are drinking because you are sad, invite a happier, more sober friend to drink with you to reign your drinking in.

If you insist on drinking alone, tell someone reliable where you are going out to drink and that if you do not contact them by a certain time, they should come down and find you.

Drinking with a friend is especially important at house parties because at bars, the bartender will stop serving you if you have had too much to drink; someone watching the booze at a frat party may not be so courteous.

Aside from keeping you from drinking yourself into a coma, a friend can bail you out of uncomfortable situations with drunks and watch your drink if you go to the bathroom.

NIGHT LIFE SPECIAL ISSUE

FIVE STEPS TO KEEP YOUR NIGHT GOING

JARIN MORIGUCHI / ASSOCIATE FEATURES EDITOR

All-nighters shall be feared no longer. This is college, live your life and do not let the party end just because the sun went down. Here is how to become a no-sleep champ in five foolproof steps. Follow these tips and you will not have to worry about being a slave to sleep during a night out with friends.

How to effectively pull off an all-nighter

STEP 1

STEP 5

PREP WITH CAFFEINE, THE RIGHT WAY

DO NOT SLOW DOWN

PUSH THROUGH THE ‘I’M DYING’ STAGE

RE-CAFFEINATION

ENJOY THE NIGHT

If you know that you will be out late, preparation is key to being sure that you will still be partying hard at midnight. Drip coffee takes around 45 minutes to fully kick in. With this in mind, do not wait until you are already hanging by a thread to consume your caffeine.

Plan your coffee schedule ahead of time so that you do not crash as soon as you hit your party stride with ease. An easier alternative to coffee is heading down to your local store and grabbing an energy drink.

Throughout the night, there may be times where you find yourself waiting around for something to happen.

During these intermissions, be sure not to get too comfortable. Go on your phone, stalk your crush on Instagram, go outside and let out a few long shouts or do anything to keep you from getting into that comfy, complacent mindset. Once you feel ready to go to sleep, it can get really hard to continue partying. No one wants to be the one who knocked out first.

Chances are this is just your body telling you that it is exhausted and needs rest. Resist by all means necessary. Do not listen to your body. We get it, your anatomy is just looking out for you.

No one else is slowing down and neither should you. Push through these phases of extreme fatigue. Once you get through the climax of the “I’m dying” feeling, everything you hear becomes 10 times funnier. One thing to keep in mind: have someone else who is more awake drive you to your next destination.

Now back to the caffeine. You have to be smart with your caffeine intake.

When you start to hit the “I’m dying” stage is when you need to pound two large iced Americanos and do 15 jumping jacks. Fifteen is the amount of jumping jacks to get your blood pumping without tiring you out.

Be sure your Starbucks card is full and ready to go. Download their app so you can be ready to re-fuel with just one scan of your phone.

Lastly, do not let your caffeine schedule and your body’s natural instincts distract you from why you are pulling an all-nighter in the first place. Enjoy the night out with your friends. Feel free to let loose and have a little fun.

Download the Uber app to get where you need to go without having to worry about who is sane enough to drive. Try not to get pissed off at your friends during the “I’m dying” phase. They are probably suffering right alongside you.

If everyone else sees that the party is continuing, they will be more inclined to get pumped and join you.

DAY TO NIGHT MAKEUP ERYN YUASA | BUSINESS EDITOR

If it has been a long week at the office or at school, folloW these tips to get your makeup look from day to night so you can enjoy your night out.

DAYTIME LOOK

NIGHTIME LOOK

I like to keep it simple and neutral for daytime, especially when working in an office. I always start with the face first, and I like to say that when you are buying makeup, things that go directly on your skin (foundation and concealer) are the things that you invest in.

I bought a Try It Kit from Urban Decay from Sephora’s 20 percent off VIB sale and I love it.

It comes with four different trial size primers, and it helps you keep your makeup on all day.

I used Urban Decay’s Naked Skin Foundation with Benefit’s Boi-ing concealer and topped it off with E.L.F.’s translucent face powder. My eyebrows are courtesy of Anastasia’s Dipbrow in chocolate. Dipbrow is an eyebrow product that beauty gurus are praising for its strong look and long last (I can swim with dipbrow).

On the eyes I used Primavera from the ABH Modern Renissance Pallet on my inner corner and lids, and then I buffed it out with Burnt Orange in the crease. I lightly lined my eyes with Kat Von D’s Ink Liner and applied light mascara.

When transitioning makeup from day to night, my biggest tip is to go darker. In this case, I darkened the eye look using Radar from Urban Decay’s Naked Smoky on the outer corner, and then the darkest color, Black Market, to line the outside of my eyes. This pallet works well for nighttime makeup because it gives the colors for a classical smokey eye.

Whenever I go out, I like to line my waterline with black pencil liner because it sharpens your eyes and gives them more definition.

Any pencil liner can work, I pick up the most cost-friendly option at the drugstore.

I like to contour with Anastasia Beverly Hill’s Contour Cream Kit. You have to be careful with this product, or with cream contour items in general. Even though this was the lightest pallet, the brown can still be pigmented if you use too much or if you do not blend it out enough. The highlighter I used is Becca in Opal and it is a buildable product to your liking.

PRODUCTS USED:

I save the lips for last, and when going dark, I stick with Kat Von D’s Liquid Lipstick.

Vampira was the first dark lipstick I bought, and I feel like I tend to lean towards it when I am going out. It is good to find a dark lipstick that matches the undertones of your skin, whether you have more of a cool or warm skin tone. Liquid lipstick has an efficient drying speed and stays all night, but it can be more difficult to apply than regular lipstick.

This transition look took me less than 15 minutes to create, and most of the products are small enough to carry with you to touch up throughout the night. I highly recommend using setting spray when you are done with your makeup (like Urban Decay’s All Nighter Setting Spray) to make sure your look lasts all night. Makeup really is about being creative and having fun, so make sure to tailor the look to what makes you feel best.

You plan to go out tonight, but you do not have enough time after school or work to go back home to change your outfit. The lack of time may be stressful, but your style does not have to suffer. Here are four ways to take your look from day to night in the matter of seconds.

PHOTOS BY: SAMANTHA IHA-PREECE / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

JEANS AND A TOP FOR A CASUAL NIGHT OUT Everyone loves the jeans and a top look. It is cute, casual and comfortable, but not quite “nightlife” ready. Take a pair of blue jeans and a blue top then add a biker jacket to give it that extra edge. This will keep you warm and looking cool. Style it with a statement piece, like a matching blue bracelet, and you are off on a casual night out with your friends.

WORKING TO WORKING IT You have spent all day at the desk and are dying to go out for drinks and dancing with your friends tonight. This green blazer and green strapless dress can transition you from work attire to a workingit-on-the-dance-floor attire in just a few seconds, leaving you more time to get your groove on. Complement the outfit with a statement piece, like a gold bracelet, so that you can shine like the star you are.

9-5 TO WINE AND DINE

BLACKED OUT BUT NOT BLACKOUT

The best thing about a gray long sleeve blazer dress is that you can hide another look under it. You are at work, and no one will ever know that tonight you plan to wine and dine. Hidden under there is a white off-the-shoulder long sleeve dress. These are flirty, flattering and hides your arm-pit stains just in case the date gets a little hot. Pair it with a statement piece like a white watch so you always know what time it is.

If there is one color that works well throughout the day and night, that color is black. Here we have a pair of black pants, a black sequin crop-top and a black blazer right over. When your work is done, and it is time to party, all you have to do is drop the blazer and add a black sequin skirt. Add your statement piece, like a shiny bracelet or matching black watch. Party safely and drink responsibly, your outfit might be blacked out but we do not want you to blackout.

Safety tips for a night out

1. IF THEY ARE YOUR FRIEND, DOUBLE CHECK If you go out with a friend or five, and you think one of them is drunk, but you are not sure, there is a way to tell. If you have them stand up from a seat and walk toward you and stop them, their eyes will keep swaying if they are drunk.

It does not matter how good a friend they are to you or how OK they seem, if those eyes do not stop moving when the rest of the body does, call a cab or an Uber and send them home.

KEVIN HARRISON \ NEWS EDITOR

Drunk people; maybe you have interacted with them before, maybe not. Keep these useful tips in mind when interacting with the inebriated.

2. DO NOTHING

3. TELL AN EMPLOYEE

4. LIE

5. SCREAM

If you encounter a drunk person, see them across a bar or club, or even hear them talking, do nothing. When a person is drunk, the frontal lobe of their brain, the part in charge of decision making, is impaired, so if you do anything that rubs them the wrong way, the situation can get out of hand quickly.

If you have to interact with a drunk for whatever reason, bring someone with you to push you out of the situation if it gets out of control.

If there is a guy or a girl in a bar or club that is making you uncomfortable in any way, tell an employee whether it is a server, bartender or doorman. Do not point at someone in a bar; it can make them defensive or agitate them.

If the drunk person continues to bother you, close out your tab and leave. If they keep you from doing that, grab an employee.

Maybe you want to avoid bugging an employee about an obnoxious drunk. If that is the case, lying may work.

If someone keeps hitting on you, tell them you are having a bad day; if they continue to do it, tell them you are not into their gender. If the two previous lies do not work, text someone reliable to call you and pretend that it is important; it works even better if that person is in the same place as you or nearby and then they can physically pull you out.

If you are a good actor, fake crying or having a fake tantrum can make the situation awkward enough for them to leave, and if they are feeling noble and try to help you, you can use the fake crying as an excuse to use the bathroom and you can duck out on the way.

This is by no means the recommended first option when interacting with drunk people. However, if you find yourself in a situation in which none of the above tips help, scream as loud as you can.

It may embarrass you, but screaming draws attention to the situation and employees and other customers are going to investigate why you are screaming, which is when you can tell them what happened.

AVOID TEXTING YOUR EX KATIE ALMEIDA | SENIOR STAFF WRITER After a night out, bad decisions are bound to happen. Whether it is from drinking, peer pressure or the adrenaline rush of a good time, getting the courage to message that person that you know you should not is a real possibility. Here are a few apps to prevent you from making a mistake you will wake up to regret.

DRUNK TEXT SAVIOR

DRUNK LOCK

DRUNKBLOCKER

[$0.99 FOR IOS]

[FREE FOR ANDROID]

[FREE FOR ANDROID]

This app will enlarge the contact photo for whomever you are trying to contact as well as make the text of the message much larger and easier to read.

A warning meter will let you know when autocorrect has had to take the wheel too many times or when you are letting your anger get the better of you with the amount of cursing you use.

There are also features, such as saved messages, so you can type what you want when you are drunk and save it to send in the morning, audioplay to hear what you have just typed out loud and saved messages so you can review everything that you sent the night before and plan on how to carry out damage control should you still decide to send those messages.

Drunk Lock can do more than keep you from your messages, it can keep you out of your Snapchat, Facebook, and Twitter too. When you open the app, you set what level of math problem you would like to solve, ranging from easy to college level. Once you have activated Drunk Lock, you need to solve the math problems in order to unlock your apps.

An important feature is that emergency calls can still be made while the app is active and there is a time feature so you will not try to solve a math problem all through the next day to get into your phone.

This app works by taking all of the contacts that you set as “risky” and replacing the actual numbers with random digits, so you avoid accidentally calling that ex you loathe or your former best friend. If you really want to still go forward with the call, you have to pass the app’s sobriety test before it will let you proceed.

This app also offers a timer, so at a certain time the next day, you will get all of your contacts back without having to pass any tests. This is helpful for people who have difficulty getting into their phones and using it properly when their drunk spell is over.

Drinking foods:

TIP:

More than just peanuts KEVIN HARRISON / NEWS EDITOR

First of all, eat before you go out drinking because drinking on an empty stomach leads to greater alcohol absorption, meaning you will get drunker, quicker. Unless that is what you want. However, it is good to keep your stomach as full as possible throughout the night to slow down the alcohol absorption.

SALTY THINGS

SLIDERS AND TACOS

FRUITS

PIZZA

Alcohol, for the most part, comes from sugar, so it is good to balance the sugar content of alcohol with something salty such as french fries or onion rings. If the bar or club you are at serves food, order a large basket of something salty.

Pretzels also make for good finger food because you can break up pieces as you drink your beer or cocktail.

Sliders or tacos are often fatty, and will keep you fuller, longer. They also take longer to eat than just a basket of fries, so you might be drinking at a slower pace too.

If your wallet allows you to, order the largest amount that you can so you have something substantive to eat throughout the night. Make sure not to overeat, though.

It may be hard to get your hands on a fruit salad at a bar or club, but if you are at a friend’s house and they have some strawberries or pineapples, eating those may lessen the effects of a hangover because of their high water content.

You should, theoretically, be drinking water as you drink alcohol to prevent a hangover, but eating water-rich foods can help too.

This does not really have a lot of practical purposes like the other foods listed, but pizza goes well with many activities and drinking is no exception.

Pizza is fatty and will keep you full. If where you are drinking does not sell pizza, ask if they will let you bring your own food and you can order the pizza to where you are. If not, some Safeway stores are open 24/7 and you can buy frozen pizza from them.

How to Clean Up

After-Party Spots, Spills and Stains RALPH ARISTA SENIOR STAFF WRITER

After a night full of fun, laughs and drinks, the last thing anyone wants is to worry about the afterparty mess. Follow these easy steps and you can end your night stain and odor free.

REMOVING ALCOHOL STAINS AND ODORS:

First, mix two cups of warm water and one cup of cleaning detergent. After soaking a cloth in your cleansing mixture, lightly blot the stain and allow the cloth to soak up as much of the alcohol as possible. Then, prepare a secondary mixture using one cup of white vinegar and two cups of warm water. Soak another cloth in the vinegar mixture and continue to blot the stain. Not only will the vinegar help to remove the stain, but it works well in neutralizing the odor of alcohol. Finally, with a dry paper towel, dab the stain again and allow the remaining liquid to be soaked up.

CLEANING RED WINE STAINS:

If you spilled red wine, you need to first work quickly and blot the stain from the area using a dry cloth/paper towel, soaking up as much of the wine as you can. Then, blot with another cloth soaked in a mixture of one tbsp dishwashing soap, two tbsp vinegar and two cups of warm water. Now, soak a third cloth in cold water and blot over the stain again, then dry up any excess liquid with a dry paper towel.

Red wine can also be cleaned up with baking soda and white wine. To do so, pour a small amount of white wine over the stain. The white wine helps to dilute the red wine and makes for easier cleanup. Then, dab the area with a dry sponge to soak up the alcohol. Next, mix two tbsp of baking soda with enough water until you reach a toothpaste-like consistency. Lightly spread the paste mixture over the stain, cover it with a clean cloth, then place a heavy weight on the cloth and

leave overnight. The baking soda should soak up the moisture from the stained area and form clumps on the surface the next morning.

Vacuum up the remaining clumps and if any white residue is left behind, just wipe it up with a wet towel.

wet wipe. Do not try to clean the vomit with just the wet wipe; while this will help to clean the area, the smell of vomit will mix with the stench of the disinfectant and linger.

CLEANING UP VOMIT:

If you partied too hard and you are left with a puddle of vomit at the end of the night, you first need to scoop up all the chunks and dispose of them quickly.

When cleaning up vomit, it is important to always be wearing gloves as vomit is slightly corrosive and is a hazard if it comes into contact with your skin. Then, with a paste mixture of two tbsp of baking soda and one tbsp of water, vigorously scrub the affected area with a sponge or cleaning brush to help remove both the stain and neutralize the odor. After the area has been thoroughly cleaned with the baking soda, wipe up any remaining residue with a disinfectant

All the rave Going out means more than just bars and clubs MORE INFO

and acceptance at raves.)

It should be noted that a prevalent aspect in raves is the use of ecstasy.

While not everyone does it, you will probably encounter people that are on it. Those who go to raves just for the drugs are a poor example for raving, as raves in general are about the music more than anything else.

RAVING IN HAWAI‘I

ERYN YUASA / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

EDC Las Vegas, an EDM festival, drew an average of 106,000 attendees in 2012.

ANGELINA SPENCE STAFF WRITER

Do not be mistaken in believing that the only places to go out with friends in Hawai‘i are bars or night clubs. There is another avenue of partying in Hawai‘i that one might overlook: music festivals, commonly called raves.

WHAT IS RAVING?

Rave culture revolves around

electronic dance music (EDM), and a phenomenon known as PLURR, which stands for peace, love, unity, respect and responsibility. At these events, people come together because of a shared love for the genre and to get lost in the drops DJs bring to the stage.

Ravers range in their knowledge of the genre; some have just discovered EDM while others have been raving for years, (but, regardless there is a common theme of love

The two major entertainment groups that organize EDM events in the islands are Wonderland and Electric Palms. Wonderland hosts outdoor events with a few headliners at the Hawaii Country Club in Kunia, while Electric Palms usually hosts a single headliner at the Republik, a nightclub located near Ala Moana.

Electric Palms hosts a few events a month. For the most part, the DJs are lesser known, but they do have some big names every once in awhile. Earlier this year, they hosted the Chainsmokers at the Republik, and tickets sold out within hours.

While Electric Palms usually hosts smaller events at the Republik, they also host an annual outdoor event.

Their upcoming outdoor event will be in February 2017, and the headliner will be Steve Aoki.

Meanwhile, Wonderland holds

the same events, Digital Wonderland, Summer Wonderland, Haunted Wonderland and Winter Wonderland – showcasing different DJs at each event.

For UH Mānoa students, Wonderland provides a shuttle service from the dorms to Hawaii Country Club for an extra fee. Otherwise, to drive from Mānoa to Kunia is a 30 minute drive.

For those looking for other means of transportation, Uber is another way to avoid driving while intoxicated and risking your life, but be wary of surges.

While bars and nightclubs, like the District for example, are exclusive to those who are 21 and up, Hawai‘i’s music festivals invite everyone over the age of 18 to come and have a good time. That being said, for those who are 21, they sometimes allow alcohol at these events.

Wonderland now has a new BYOB policy, but there is a limit to the number of beers and the quantity of hard liquor you can bring in.

Both entertainment groups offer a unique experience for Hawai‘i residents to enjoy EDM. The most important thing to remember is to have fun and let go when you go to an event, there is no room for judgment at raves. Be safe and have fun.

What happened to the rave culture?

Combatting the negative stigma of festival events

ERYN YUASA / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

Coachella averaged 99,000 attendees daily in 2016, driving up to $700 million in economic activity in the Coachella Valley area.

ERYN YUASA BUSINESS EDITOR

I dread hearing the get-to-know you questions that ask about your interests and hobbies. It would be a little easier if I had a hobby that was simple to say. Most of the time, I will tell people that I like to hike or go to the beach.

But if I had more free time, there is no doubt that I would spend it at a concert. It is more difficult to be a concert lover in Hawai‘i. Due to the separation of the islands from the rest of the world, we do not get as many artists that incorporate our state into their tour dates. However, that has not stopped my friends and I from attempting to see our favorite

bands live. I have been able to see over 50 artists of different genres in the past three years.

There is nothing inherently wrong about liking to go to concerts and enjoying live music. However, the negative stigma tends to come into play when we reference music festivities that include the electronic dance music (EDM) genre.

EDM started with the disco movement in the ‘60s and ‘70s, and has grown in popularity over the last few years with producers and disc jockeys such as Zedd, Calvin Harris and Tiësto at the helm. Concerts that include this type of music are also referred to as “events,” “festivals,” or, my least favorite, “raves.” With these words come the negative stereotypes of the typ-

ical rave-goer, and a lot of that has to do with the incorporation of a substance culture.

Hawai‘i hosts a few raves a year, and based on experience, a lot of the concept of going to a rave has been integrated into drinking or substance use. This can take on a dangerous path when you look at the sheer volume of people who attend these events, which forces people to battle heat and dehydration to hear the music. Alcohol is usually sold at these events to those over 21, but for the younger crowd who cannot yet purchase alcohol, the use of LSD and ecstasy is growing in popularity.

There have been substance-related deaths in the state of Hawai‘i,

as recent as the death of 20-yearold female at the annual Haunted Wonderland event in October 2014.

This is not a problem that is isolated to the islands. The negatively-viewed rave culture is everywhere; I cannot even say the word concert without people grimacing or shaking their heads.

The rave culture should not be a synonym to a drug or substance culture, because there is more to it than that. There is a concept in the EDM crowd that has been going around since the ‘90s: the Peace Love Unity Respect Responsibility, or PLURR. This philosophy is the reason why I still enjoy going to concerts.

In April 2016, I attended one of

the biggest music festivals in the United States – the Chainsmokers set at Coachella. There is nothing like the feeling of being in a crowd, screaming out the lyrics to your favorite song and feeling a connectedness with the people around you. When you are listening to live music where you love the DJ, feel a sense of unity in the crowd and take the responsibility to respect the people around you, that is where being at an event really feels worth it. It feels like you are a part of something bigger, and that is what music has been doing since the beginning of time.

I am a concert person, and I hope one day I can share that love without the stigma.
