A new Snyder Hall at the end of McCarthy Mall is poised to be built over Henke Hall and will possibly open in 2018.

COVER STORY

Snyder in shambles Building faces safety violations and neglected repairs KEVIN HARRISON STAFF WRITER

Snyder Hall, home of the Microbiology Department, is falling apart. Stuart Donachie, chairman of the department, said the hall’s occupants have been waiting since 2012 for renovations that have been cancelled multiple times. He said the distilled water system is not of the chemical purity required for laboratory usage and that professors bring their own water from stores. In addition, there are frequent leaks, steam pipes are corroding and failing and its boiler was recently shut down. Dan Meisenzahl, UH spokesman, said Snyder Hall is a top priority for UH and that efforts are being made to build a new home that the Microbiology Department deserves. He said there have been a lot of false starts to ﬁxing Snyder Hall and those false starts have contributed to the lack of upkeep on the building. Jessica Chen, a junior microbiology student, said she is very unhappy that the building is falling apart and the decay of the building

plus lack of maintenance calls for more funding from administration. “As a microbiology major, I cannot say I am proud that Snyder Hall represents the Microbiology Department in its current state,” Chen said. NO PLACE TO SHOWER

One major issue is that the laboratory facilities lack safety showers, a violation of regulations set forth by the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The showers are meant for emergency use when someone is exposed to hazardous material. Donachie said the issue has been brought to the attention of university administration, even though they have not had a reason to use one yet. “The reason we haven’t had to use one is probably because of good safety procedures,” he said. “We wear masks, have training and maintain awareness.” Roy Takekawa, director of the campus Environmental Health and Safety Ofﬁce, said the labs have adequate safety equipment including an eyewash station, gog-

gles and gloves. “Safety showers are provided to be used in the event of a major incident involving a large exposure; based on our assessment of the types and quantities of materials used in these labs, such

LAB SAFETY

OSHA regulations require labs to be equipped with emergency cleaning facilities for the eyes and body. Donachie said Snyder Hall labs are Biosafety Level II, and in those labs, there is nothing that “will

an event would be extremely unlikely to occur,” Takekawa said in an email. James Douglas, a microbiology professor, said the Microbiology Department does not use corrosive substances in large quantities. However, he said that a shower would still be needed in case a ﬂask of organisms is dropped on or near people. Douglas said showers are still needed if something goes wrong. He said if an accident occurs, “you can’t take care of it with just a sink.”

kill you if you are a healthy individual.” Anyone whose immune system is compromised will be advised not to be in the labs. Donachie said safety showers are supposed to be in a hallway, easily visible and accessible. He compared the need for these showers to the need for seatbelts. One may not always use a seatbelt to save their life, but it is always good to have one on anyways. Donachie said they could theoretically conduct the lab classes in other facilities that have safety

showers, but those facilities would need a special cleaning appliance called an autoclave. “You can solve half of the problem moving the teaching, but there are no other teaching facilities on campus,” Donachie said. The other half of the problem is the research conducted in Snyder Hall. Donachie said those researchers, not all of them microbiologists, need safety showers too. “The fact of the matter is Snyder is an old building and it should have safety showers ...” Meisenzahl said in a phone interview. “The university, working with the College of Natural Sciences, is aggressively moving ahead with building a new building.” MORE INFO

BIOSAFETY LEVEL II Biosafety Level II means the facility is suitable for work involving agents that pose moderate hazards to lab personnel. Have you had a class in Snyder? Tell us about it @kaleoohawaii

Proposed budget to give back to students JENNA MIMAKI STAFF WRITER

Bill to increase mental health resources CODY NG/ KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

A community group will hold a Celebration of Life event on Tuesday to remember the lives of students and employees who recently died. DILLON ANCHETA STAFF WRITER

The campus counseling ofﬁce is understaffed when it comes to on-campus psychologists. “When the community in general looks at education, it’s just more about academics or extracurricular activities, and they don’t necessarily tie that with mental health,” said Kelly Zakim, president of the Associated Students of UH Mānoa (ASUH). “This is our way of really trying to help the individual holistically and not just through academics or extracurricular activities, but really getting to the other issues that are just as important.” She and other members of ASUH worked with the campus Counseling and Student Development Center (CSDC) to gather necessary statistics for what is now the current draft of House Bill 1703. It calls for the state to establish and allocate money for three full-time psychologist positions and one full-time case manager to ensure students receive psychological help as needed, in a timely manner. Nationally, it is recommended there is one licensed psychologist per every 1,500 students, according to the bill. UH Mānoa, with an undergraduate student population of almost 19,000, has seven. If the additional psychologists are added, the campus would have 10 full-time psychologists, compared to the 12 that are recommended by national guidelines.

As a ﬁrst year resident assistant Michaela Kalama is responsible for ensuring her residents have a safe and healthy living environment and agrees mental health is an important concern at the university. Students living on campus have the option to utilize live-in resident counselors. Over the last semester, Kalama has helped at least three students get professional counseling for some type of issue. There are small things that affect students, however, not everyone reaches the point of needing a counselor, Kalama said. “As far as students in distress or students being homesick or feeling depressed, I’ve had more than I can count,” she said, “...I’ve had a lot of students come to me for advice or things like that.” The CSDC, which is responsible for the live-in counselor services, offers a full range of services from therapy, relationship counseling and life management. CSDC psychologists and staff therapists have helped upwards of 1,300 students for over 8,000 hours of therapy yearly, according to Allyson Tanouye, a licensed psychologist with CSDC. For non-urgent cases, there is a wait list, Tanouye said. Clients may wait for weeks before being able to see a counselor or therapist. HB 1703 aims to reduce wait times by increasing stafﬁng and availability of psychologists. Around 30 people are currently waitlisted.

MENTAL HEALTH IN COLLEGE

THE BILL

Over 35 percent of college students across the nation reported that depression or depression-like symptoms made functioning difﬁcult, the bill said.

Although some believe the increased staff positions will beneﬁt the university, some question whether giving the university more money is the answer to the problem.

Sen. Sam Slom won’t ofﬁcially support or oppose the bill until it passes over to the senate with revisions, but he has been a long-time opponent of increasing funding for the university. “If we’re talking about three fulltime psychologists, we’re talking about a lot of money. But I tend to think that maybe college students are more resilient than we give them credit for,” Slom said. “ So in terms of priority, this would not be one of my priorities.” As a student resident assistant, Kalama agrees and believes UH could better manage its resources but feels more psychologists on campus is a worthwhile investment. “Paying attention to mental health is one of the most important things because if students aren’t healthy mentally and emotionally, they won’t succeed in school,” she said. “Increasing the amount of resources for students is only beneﬁcial and can not be detrimental at all.”

The campus faculty senate is proposing a new budget model that would be more responsive to the needs and demands of speciﬁc schools, colleges and organizations, according to its Committee on Administration and Budget (CAB). In 2014, Chancellor Robert Bley-Vroman put together a task force that consisted of representatives from the Associated Students of the University of Hawai‘i, the Graduate Student Organization and the faculty senate to produce a new budget model for the current ﬁscal year. OUT WITH THE OLD

The current budget model is based on historical need, in which cuts or increases are incrementally distributed to individual units based on revenue. The funds are less carefully appropriated, wherein the money does not go to areas that deserve it most, according to Kathy Cutshaw, the vice chancellor for administration, ﬁnance and operation. “Our campus as a whole unilaterally agrees that this new budget model is outdated,” Cutshaw said. Currently, these funds, which include student tuition, could pay for things at the university that the ordinary student may not utilize, according to David Chin, chairman of the Department of Information and Computer Services. The administration and CAB are producing two budget models. Both models are working towards more current and more responsive budget allocation, Cutshaw said. IN WITH THE NEW

Cutshaw said the new budget model needs to fairly distribute money to the programs or organizations based on their students’ needs. The CAB is currently working on a budget model that would increase transparency and accountability when it comes to the allocation of available funds. With the CAB’s model, students will be more equipped to track their tuition, according to CAB Chairman Mike Angelo. “The goal is to give the model that works best for the campus as a whole,” he said. “Ultimately we’re serving students and promoting instruction and research.” The CAB model would keep money ﬂowing to the most active departments. For example, if a department enrolls 500 students, those students’ tuition money would return to that department.

PROVIDING INCENTIVE

Chin said right now, colleges have no incentive to bring in students. Chin has had a 10 percent growth of students joining his department, but no reﬂective budget changes have been made to accommodate the inﬂux. When classes start to get full, he would raise the class size to accommodate these students, but that requires more faculty and more teaching assistants which the budget does not currently allow. “The incentive for the schools and colleges is to have more classes available for students, but right now, the case is actually the opposite,” Chin said. “But if you got all of your tuition back, there’s a built-in incentive.” ADMINISTRATIVE BLOATING

The current budget model allows administration to take money from the funding pool ﬁrst with schools and colleges appealing to try and

get more money. With this power, administration has the ability to increase its staff to the point where some positions may not be necessary, said Chin. “They’re not where the rubber meets the road,” Chin said. “They’re [administrators] not teaching the students. They’re not doing the research. They’re basically overhead.” With this CAB budget model, there will be a committee of faculty appointed by university deans and directors of the schools and colleges that decide how to allocate funds. However, while this model is still in the works, Chin feels it is unlikely that the CAB budget model will be approved because it would essentially take away funding from administration. “The only way to get this model to pass is through campus pressure,” he said.

Weed: a good alternative Recreational marijuana can boost Hawai‘i’s economy KENT NISHIMURA / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

Act 241 in Hawai‘ i would allow the state to establish medical marijuana dispensaries across the state. JACQUES BRUNVIL STAFF WRITER

Although once considered illegal and potentially dangerous throughout the United States, marijuana is slowly being shown in a positive light as more states legalize its recreational and medical use. Despite past studies showing marijuana to be detrimental to one’s health, new studies show that it is less dangerous than other substances such as alcohol. Marijuana legalization also has economic beneﬁts to both the

government and the people. Although Hawai‘i was one of the ﬁrst states to legalize medical marijuana more than 15 years ago, the state has been slow in building dispensaries for those need it. The state has fallen behind the times in legalizing recreational use. As more and more people struggle to keep up with the high cost of living in Hawai‘i, recreational marijuana may be what the local economy needs. BACKGROUND ON MARIJUANA USE

Similar to the 21st Amendment,

which prohibited the consumption and manufacturing of alcohol, the decades-long war on drugs has tried to deal with the epidemic of drug use and drugrelated crime throughout America. In 1971 and later in 1982, President Richard Nixon and then Ronald Reagan declared the war on drugs. Both administrations failed to deal with drugs as a medical and mental issue. Now 30 years later, many cities — including Honolulu — are ﬁlled with overcrowded prisons due to minor

include decriminalizing certain lowlevel drugs, like marijuana, both medical and recreational uses. Similar to the aftermath of Prohibition, politicians in the United States are starting to realize the many negative unintended consequences of the strict “war on drugs.” WHY LEGALIZE RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA

Oregon, Colorado and Washington are the only states that have legalized the recreational use of marijuana. University of Denver economist Jack Strauss found that two marijuana dispensaries in Colorado created 280 jobs and $30 million in total economic output between January and June of 2014. Marijuana possession arrests have decreased 84 percent in Colorado since 2010 as well, according to drugfacts.org. Since 2012, Colorado has seen a now $1 billion industry thrive, providing economic opportunities and a new source of funding for public services and resources. Considering our rich volcanic

Taxing marijuana would not only generate a lot of revenue but also allow Hawai‘i to be less dependent on the federal government. MARIJUANA’S BENEFIT TO MINORITIES

Despite the large economic benefits of recreational marijuana, the biggest benefit is helping disadvantaged minority communities. Studies show even though marijuana use is equal between the various races throughout the nation, minority communities still suffer harsher penalties and lengthier prison sentences even for minor drug offenses. The legalization of recreational marijuana in Hawai‘ i may help with prison overcrowding by setting free those with marijuana while also opening up new economic windows.

It goes beyond college students’ needs Why the increase in minimum wage needs to be re-evaluated CARLY YASHIKI STAFF WRITER

As a college student who works two jobs and paid minimum wage, it’s difﬁcult to put in so many hours and not receive much in return. The money is necessary for college students to buy textbooks and pay off student loans. However, raising the minimum wage is not good in the long run. It is possible that an increase in the minimum wage will result in fewer jobs and raise poverty rates. GETTING DOWN TO BUSINESS

The minimum wage in Hawai‘ i stands at $8.50 per hour and is estimated to increase to about $9.25 in 2017. Although this does not seem like a huge jump, the long-term effects of this increase needs to be looked at extensively. “At some point, it makes people unemployable,” Sen. Sam Slom said

to KHON. “That’s the really sad part, the unintended consequences.” The result of the minimum wage increase is divided into two resolutions: a temporary ﬁx or a longterm burden. Slom also indicated that the increase would only affect two percent of Hawai‘i’s labor force, forcing bigger local businesses to compensate for the high prices – ultimately spending more.

The increase of the minimum wage may appeal to 16-24-yearolds who are making minimum wage. This money was not intended to sustain one’s needs

and lifestyle but rather an initial way of transitioning into the work force. For college students, especially, it may be difficult to pay for necessities and for schooling. However, there are various employment opportunities on campus that pay well above the minimum wage.

Does speeding really kill? Hawai‘i’s snail-speed speed limits need to be raised

REESE KATO/ KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

Hawai‘ i was the last state to raise the speed limits after the repeal of the national minimum speed limit of 55 mph in 1995. BROOKE ALCURAN STAFF WRITER

Hawai‘ i has the lowest maximum speed limit of all the 50 states, according to speedlimits. com. Although certain sections of the H-1 and H-3 have posted speed limits of 60 miles per hour (mph), most rural freeways in Hawai‘ i have posted speed limits of 55 mph. The mantra “speed kills” has influenced legislative decisions in the state concerning how fast drivers can drive on Hawai‘ i roads. Speed can kill, however, speed variance and irresponsible driving are probable causes for a car accident. So, why are we still traveling at a snail’s pace on the freeways? Instead of lowering speed limits, Hawai‘ i should focus on ensuring that first time drivers can make better choices behind the wheel. THE TRUTH ABOUT “SPEED KILLS”

Researchers at the American College of Emergency Physicians’ Research Forum discovered in 2006 that “variance,” the difference in speeds between people driving on the freeway and the difference between the posted speed and the speed at which the roadway was designed, increases the risk of an accident. The study was based on fatalities and number of vehicle miles travelled on roadways from the New

York State Department of Transportation. Although legislators enforce speed limits lower than the design speed to protect drivers, researchers found that there was no clear correlation between drivers’ safety and the posted speed limit. When the state’s speed limit was raised from 55 mph to 65 mph, the study showed that absolute mortality decreased by 28.3 percent. Researchers advocate that speed can lead to a greater fatality rate for an individual, but

WHEN THE SPEED LIMIT WAS INCREASED FROM 55 MPH TO 65 MPH, THE ABSOLUTE MORTALITY RATE DECREASED BY

“speed variance” increases overall fatality rates. Therefore, a lower speed limit does not protect drivers and can even lead to an increase in accidents on the freeway. POOR CHOICES LEAD TO CAR ACCIDENTS, NOT NECESSARILY SPEED

Suppose you are approaching a bend at 60 mph on a slick roadway. You may hydroplane, lose control of your car and crash. Although speed is a factor in this accident, your poor decision to take on the bend at 60 mph is a stronger reason for the crash in

the first place. The ﬁve most frequent types of car accidents in America, as reported by insurance company Allstate, include rear-enders, hitting a parked car, hydroplaning, hitting wild animals and side-impact crashes. With the exception of hydroplaning, these accidents are not necessarily caused by speeding but rather the driver. By following stop signs, looking both ways and checking blind spots and mirrors, many car accidents can be avoided.

28.3

RAISE DRIVER’S EDUCATION STANDARDS, NOT SPEED LIMITS

In 2011, medhelp.org reported that although people from the ages of 15 to 24 comprise 14 percent of the population, they are accountable for nearly 30 percent of car accidents in the nation. If poor choices are the cause of car crashes, then teaching drivers how to drive more responsibly can lessen the number of fatalities on the roadways. The Hawai‘ i State Department of Transportation (HDOT) can be more responsible for educating these drivers by making driver’s education manda-

tory for all ﬁrst time drivers seeking to get their license. Currently, the Hawai‘ i State Department of Education has driver’s education programs for unlicensed drivers aged 15 to 19. However, a teenager seeking to obtain his or her license only needs to complete the course if they are younger than 18 years old. I have friends who, instead of taking the driver’s education course, saved money and took their driver’s license test when they were 18 and were not required to take the class. However, driver’s education helps potential drivers make better choices behind the wheel. The class covers why it is important to head check, stop and look both ways and many other things that can reduce a driver’s risk of getting into an accident. Because of the importance of these lessons, it should be mandatory for all potential drivers to take driver’s education. Making smart choices are important for everyone’s safety on the road. HDOT needs to realize that lowering the speed limit will not help drivers’ safety, but ensuring that every driver has the ability to make smarter choices will.

Junior Brendan Hornung was one of the three starting pitchers in the first matchup against New Mexico.

Pitching is key ZACH JOHNSON ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

Pitching makes the difference between winning a ball game and losing one. This was the case in the ﬁrst two games of the series between the University of Hawai’i Rainbow Warrior baseball team and the University of New Mexico Lobos, at Les Murakami Stadium this past weekend. “If they [pitchers] are not going to throw strikes you are not going to win, and that is a hallmark for us. Throwing strikes and pounding the zone, we just didn’t do that tonight [Friday],” head coach Mike Trapasso said. “That was the game, we battled on the offensive end, and played solid defense. It was just on the pitching.” During the ﬁrst game of the series, Warrior pitchers (Brendan Hornung, Lawrence Chew, Cody Culp) walked nine Lobo batters and fell behind in counts consistently. They allowed New Mexico hitters to tee up on fastballs, which lead to four extra base hits; including a leadoff homerun to UNM’s Michael Eaton. “The walks and pitching behind

in the count all night was the game,” Trapasso said. “I can stomach 11 hits, but you cannot have eight or nine walks. You are not going to win games by giving up freebees … [And] you can’t allow the double after you give

However in the ninth inning, with runners at second and third and two outs, Trapasso put in Casey Ryan. Ryan then promptly threw his ﬁrst two pitches in the dirt, allowing both runners to score and tie the game at three apiece.

If they [pitchers] are not going to throw strikes you are not to win, and that is a hallmark for us. – MIKE TRAPASSO HEAD COACH OF UH BASEBALL

up the four pitch walk.” Three of the six Lobo runs were scored after free passes were given up in the first game alone. In the second game of the series the Warrior pitchers (Kyle Von Ruden, Isaac Friesen and Kyle Mitchell) shut down the Lobo batters through eight innings, allowing one run on nine hits and five walks. “There was a lot of fans out, something clicked and I started ﬁlling up the zone,” Von Ruden said.” [I] got in a groove and got hitters out by contact.”

“That’s baseball, I brought in Kyle [Mitchell] and he did a great job. When it works everybody cheers,” Trapasso said. “And when you don’t, people get upset. Casey [Ryan] is a big part of us, I’ll do it again 10 times in that same situation because [Kyle] Mitchell does not ﬁt leftys as well as Casey [Ryan] does.” The game was then forced into extra innings and Matt Valencia came in to pitch for UH, throwing two scoreless innings with zero hits and two walks to pick up the win.

In the bottom half of the eleventh, pinch hitter Alex Sawelson singled home Marcus Doi, (who doubled to start the inning) to win the game for Hawai’i. Both games show the importance of having a solid pitching staff with a consistent bullpen. UH walked nine in route to a loss Friday, and New Mexico walked eight on Saturday. Offense might be flashy, but pitching wins ball games. The pitching staff for the Warriors will have to produce more outings like they did this past Saturday if they hope to win in the challenging Big West Conference. The Warriors ﬁnish their fourgame series with the Lobos on Monday Feb. 22 and will then head on the road for their ﬁrst California road trip. They are set to have a three game series against San Francisco, starting on Feb. 26. First pitch is set for 2 p.m. (PST).

On Thursdays and Saturdays throughout the Spring semester, when the team doesn’t play on the road, the University of Hawai‘ i men’s basketball team brings fans and students to the Stan Sheriff Center to cheer on their team, hang out with family and friends and most of all, have fun. HAVING FUN IS WHAT JAMIE SMITH IS ALL ABOUT

“As an undergraduate student at the University of North Carolina and graduate student at the University of Florida, college athletics was an integral part of my college experience,” said Jamie Smith, sports performance analyst for men’s baketball. “Going to basketball games is fun, and I don’t want any of the students at [UH] to miss out.” Smith is unlike any assistant coach in college basketball. His ofﬁcial job description is sports performance analyst for the Warrior basketball team, but he also carries the responsibilities of a director of basketball operations. But what’s not listed on Smith’s resume is that he is at the epicenter of the program’s attendance spike over the last few seasons. UH’s matchup against Long Beach State back on Jan. 31 was the program’s ﬁrst sold-out game since 2004. The average attendance at the Stan Sheriff Center this season is 6,854, 420 more fans than last season (6,434) and 437 more than the 2013-2014 campaign (6,417). Smith organizes the theme nights at home

games when he’s not working his day job, which usually doesn’t happen until the late hours of the night. “My work day often starts at 6 a.m. and sometimes doesn’t end until midnight,” Smith said. “It’s not uncommon for me to get back to the office from reverse trick-or-treating in the dorms, too exhausted to ride home to Diamond Head and I’ll pass out on the couch in my office.” Reverse trick-or-treating is a way for Smith and the team to bring students to the games. And it’s exactly what one might think. Going door-to-door dressed up in superhero outfits, characters from Star Wars or whatever the upcoming theme night may entail, Smith and the players visit the dorms to raise awareness for the upcoming home games and to encourage students to attend. A lot of work goes behind organizing these theme nights, similar to the amount of work it takes for the average person to throw a great party. “It’s a team effort, and there would be a really low ceiling to our success if our players didn’t buy into what we are doing. I may be the one that comes up with the ideas and designs all of the fun ground stakes, flyers, posters and jumbotron graphics that you see on campus, but it’s our players who dress up in costume for these pictures, and it’s their smiling faces that are the main focal point of these graphics,” Smith said. “When we go up to the dorms, it’s not me the students get excited about seeing; it’s our players. It really means a lot to our students to see our players making the effort to dress up in costume and going door-to-door to meet their fellow students.”

On game day, the players wear their uniform and the coaches wear Aloha shirts and slacks. It’s a tradition to be formal, especially on the sidelines. A matching outfit shows uniformity and cohesion, which is an essential aspect of any sports team. Especially for a basketball program that has faced adversity head-on and has become stronger because of it. Smith has two uniforms: his Aloha shirt and slacks, and his theme night attire. It’s common to see Smith with a clipboard on the sidelines in the first half of a game and to see him in the front row of the student section starting cheers and creating distractions for opposing teams in the second half. Smith has been a part of the men’s basketball program and has served under three different head coaches in four years. He’s the only holdover on the coaching staff in the past three seasons. In the final year of his contract at UH, Smith has made it a personal mission to make this season unforgettable. “It has been a huge challenge this year, and it has taken a lot out of me physically and mentally … at the beginning of the season, we set a goal of getting 1,000 students to a game. That would have seemed impossible four years ago, so to smash that target with 1,101 students at our Old Skool Rap Night game vs. UC Irvine was a huge accomplishment,” Smith said. “Sitting on the bench and seeing 1,101 students all

dressed in black, waving light sabers in unison was really satisfying.” What’s been satisfying for Smith and fans alike has been the success of the Rainbow Warriors this season, who currently have a twogame lead in the Big West Conference at 11-1 with an overall record of 22-3. “Team travel is my number one priority from the perspective of our team’s performance, so planning for our party themes has to wait until the end of the day when our players are asleep,” Smith said. “Our players love playing in front of a packed student section. When games are on the line, our student section brings a whole other level of energy. Our players feed off of this energy. Having a great student section also improves the overall atmosphere of the arena and increases the value of attending games for the rest of our fans who are entertained by the student section’s crazy antics.” What’s unique about this season, more so than the success of the team’s performance on the court, is how everyone is getting in on the fun. With this upcoming weekend being the last two home games of the season, Smith hopes to end the regular season and his tenure at UH with a bang. “We expect one of the biggest student turnouts at a University of Hawai‘ i game of alltime. I’m not sure if we can match the record 1,101 students that turned out for Old Skool Rap Night vs. UC Irvine, as it could be another sell out and student seats will be limited. Regard-

‘Street Fighter V’ struggles at launch IKAIKA SHIVELEY FEATURES EDITOR

With “Street Fighter IV” being regarded as one of the elite of the series, developer Capcom had pressure on its shoulders leading up to the launch of the highly anticipated “Street Fighter V.” To the players’ lament, it seemed that the game was pushed too soon. Along with the faulty servers, which make it difficult to utilize the online features, “Street Fighter V” feels like an unfinished product. Solo play against a CPU is non-existent in normal ver-

sus matches, as players can only use this option for local multiplayer. Thankfully, modes like Survival keep players busy until more content is released later this year. Another concerning element is the story mode – or lack thereof. Each character has a brief campaign, running from three to four one-round matches that are too simple for even the most casual player. Though these campaigns offer little challenge, the narrative element, told through comic style illustrations, sets a backstory for the soon to come cin-

ematic story mode. Arriving in June, the full campaign entails over an hour of cinematic content scattered throughout the matches. This comes to a relief, as the current story mode takes about an hour and a half for all characters combined.

Brazilian native who utilizes her “Matsuda Jiu-Jitsu,” which resembles that of Judoku and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu all encompassed by a shock of electricity. Rashid, a humorous yet determined fighter, has the ability to create gusts of wind that allow him to strike

Although the core elements of the game are sound, the residing issues negate the value of what would have been a perfect game. Indeed there are a few disappointing components to the game’s launch, but there are an equal amount of praises to give. The game’s adoption of the V trigger mechanic is a refresing addition. Varying by character, the V trigger can boost up hitrates, increase power to inflict more damage on opponents or become a combo extender. Increased by taking damage, the meter allows players to apply pressure while exiting a block much quicker. Just make sure to use the V meter, as it doesn’t carry over to proceeding rounds. In total, there are 16 playable fighters within the game, which include four new additions to the series. F.A.N.G., who is lanky in stature, utilizes an elusive movement that goes hand in hand with his poison infused nails (no pun intended), causing a prolonged effect on opponents. Laura is a

opponents from long distances. Lastly there’s Neccali. Described as the “Emissary of Gods,” Neccali is fearsome in both physical appearance and fighting style. With the goal to consume the souls of the toughest warriors, Neccali uses his brute force to send opponents face first into the pavement. “Street Fighter V’s” visual appeal is another highlight, as the 3D character models from “Street Fighter IV” have received a facelift into the current generation of consoles. Most characters are in top notch shape — excluding the overweight behemoth Birdie — the juiced-to-the-gills look has been toned down to a degree, offering more realistic character designs. When servers decide to work, players are able to utilize the Capcom Fighters Network (CFN), which attempts to be a haven for

the most hardcore of fans. The CFN allows users to share their saved gameplay to the world, which can be a benefit for those seeking to strengthen their skills. There’s an ability to follow specific gamers in which you can overlook their standings in the community. The multiplayer basics such as ranked matches are still present the in installment, which produce even more chances of triumph or failure. Although the core elements of the game are sound, the residing issues negate the overall value of what could have been a perfect game. However, with the promise of more modes and better servers, “Street Fighter V” will be the main destination for carpal-tunnel inducing matches. Ka Leo O Hawai‘i RATING

‘YouTube Red’ launches original series IKAIKA SHIVELEY FEATURES EDITOR

The evolution of “YouTube” has finally begun with its newest premium service. “YouTube Red” emulates services like “Spotify Premium,” where users have the ability to save content for offline viewing as well as eliminate the annoyance of ads. The offline viewing option comes in handy when traveling to a location without an internet connection. If you are camping and need to watch a fire making tutorial, you can download the video onto your device ahead of time. Other functions include background play, which allows users to use other apps without interrupting a video playing on a mobile device, as well as a subscription to Google Play Music. Though this service was released in October 2015, the Feb. 9 launch of “YouTube Originals” includes YouTubers Meg DeAngelis, Lilly Singh and Rooster Teeth. Each YouTube Original is a full feature-length ﬁlm that was funded directly by YouTube. As the year progresses, more ﬁlms, as well as shows produced by other content creators, will be available. PewDiePie, who holds a firm grasp as the top YouTuber with over 42,000,000 subscribers, is currently the only YouTuber with an Original series available to the public. “Scare PewDiePie”

is a roughly 20-minute episodic series, in which PewDiePie is thrown into a realistic adaptation of horror games. His popularity came from his reactions to terrifying games such as “Amnesia” and “Slender” but now branched into other forms of entertainment on his channel. The series brings him back to his horror roots, where he is equipped with a camera and sent on various missions in which he encounters actors and props with one goal in mind: scare PewDiePie. Having Robert

For the most part, PewDiePie’s reactions are real – as he’s known for not being the best actor. Even though PewDiePie is the most subscribed YouTuber, he can be socially awkward, which can explain his uneasiness. This element can be a downfall for less familiar audiences. However, his fan base, the Bro Army, will surely understand his personality and enjoy. The budget of the show is one great aspect, which from the teaser trailer shows that fans will be in for a treat as PewDiePie

Even though PewDiePie is the most subscribed Youtuber, he can be socially awkward. Kirkman, creator of “The Walking Dead,” as executive producer shows that YouTube is going all in to not only scare PewDiePie, but also entertain viewers. The first episode, titled “Level 1: Let’s play Doctor,” was a genius attempt to catch PewDiePie off guard. Viewers joined the secret as it was revealed that his microphone also had a heart rate monitor, which was shown at the corner of the screen during pivotal moments. The set-up was to trick PewDiePie into believing he was going in for a basic health check-up, but the plan goes awry once a deranged patient is on the run from security.

will face some heart-pounding moments. The $9.99 a month plan may not be ideal for most YouTubers, but it’s a price to avoid time consuming ads and to view the YouTube Original content. All in all, the service really depends on an individual’s interests and preferences.

JJ2 Bakery, a California-based bakery, opened its first Hawai‘i location on Kapi‘olani Boulevard. The bakery serves fresh bread, cakes, desserts, coffee and teas every day. JJ2 Bakery is located at the bottom of the Pacific Guardian Tower, right across Ala Moana Shopping Center. According to its website, JJ2 Bakery uses Eastern ingredients and French pastry techniques to create a blend of various cultures in their desserts. Although it has been open since November of last year, I only caught wind of the bakery last month from a classmate. On a Thursday afternoon, I decided to visit the bakery after class. Luckily, JJ2 Bakery is on an A bus route. Inside were lit cases of decorated cakes and desserts, and to the right are shelves of freshly baked breads, pastries and other desserts. To the left are white tables and chairs as well as booths for dine-in customers. In the right corner of the bakery was an open refrigerated case of packaged teas and cold kept desserts such as orange chiffon cake and vanilla filo cake rolls. At the time I came in, there were a few people dining and a couple people in line to order teas and pastries at the counter. The baked breads, pastries and other desserts on the shelves were wrapped up in individual packages with ingredient information and a list of other desserts on the back. At the top of the shelves was a row of freshly baked breads and other baked goods such as cream cheese

Danishes, marble cloud taro and meat lover’s bread. All the baked items were priced under $5. The desserts and cakes in the cases ran higher in price and you could have custom made cakes. JJ2 Bakery serves drinks such as fruit teas, milk teas, smoothies and coffee. It has a special tea menu that includes offers such as Oreo sea salt creamer milk tea and jasmine wintermelon tea. The drinks were priced under $5 and came in regular or large sizes. You can adjust the sweetness level of your teas from normal to less or half. The overall atmosphere of JJ2 Bakery was clean and simple because the selections were to the point and the cases were kept well lit and clean. It is open daily and is conveniently located to grab a drink and study, satisfy your sweet tooth or grab a cake for any occasion. RATING

Populated by more than 13,000 residents, Wai‘anae sits on the leeward coast of the island of O‘ahu. This town is located within the Wai‘anae Range, which is a remnant of what had been one of the two shield volcanoes on the island. Wai‘anae is home to several beaches and boat harbors, and Farrington Highway serves as the main town’s road that takes both residents and visitors south to Nānākuli and north to Ka‘ena Point.
