A letter from the Editor in Chief Aloha and welcome back to school! I hope all of you were able to enjoy the paradox that makes a great summer - relaxing and exciting, lazy and fun-filled, safe and maybe a little daring at times. Now that it’s time to get back to the grindstone, I know your semester looks bleak.

But fear not! Ka Leo will be there with you every step of the way. When you fail your midterms, we’ll be there; when you write a brilliant research paper, but no one seems to “get it,” we’ll be there; and when you just need a shoulder to cry on, yes, we’ll be there.

In all seriousness, we probably won’t be there for that last one, but Ka Leo means “the voice,” and it is the voice of the student body that our name refers to. We are here to represent you and to ensure that you do have a say in what goes on this year. To that end, we have altered our goals to better conduct the paper that you deserve. We have decided to focus more on breaking news and web updates; play a much more active role in the reporting of campus events, student government and the UH administration’s decisions; and we have created the new position of investigative reporter to find out what decisions are being made that could affect you, and to report both on the process and the outcome so that you can stay informed. Knowledge is power, and what is a more appropriate setting for that principle than a research institution like ours?

There are a few other changes to Ka Leo that have occurred over the summer. The first is our move from our old building in front of Campus Center, which is being demolished to make room for the Campus Center expansion project, to our new office located in Hemenway Hall, behind Manoa Garden and Ba-Le. So come stop by and say hello! We’re open every weekday and are always looking for more staffers.

The second change is that we will no longer be printed by the Honolulu Star-Advertiser. When the Star-Bulletin bought the Advertiser, it also took up many of the Advertiser’s contracts, like ours. Because of the higher volume of contracts, The Star-Advertiser doesn’t have the manpower or press availability to print our paper three times a week. As a result, Ka Leo will now be printed on Maui and flown to O‘ahu the night before the papers are put out on the stands.

So although our summer was hectic, stressful and challenging at times, it was also fun, exciting and just a little daring. We look forward to serving you throughout this academic year and we hope you enjoy this special welcome back issue of Ka Leo O Hawai‘i.

Ongoing makeover projects improve Mānoa campus, community On August 14th, students helped to beautify the area around Campus Center and Hemenway Hall.

DAVIN AOYAGI KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

JANE CALLAHAN Associate News Editor

With school back in session, prepare to see groups of people in neon green shirts. It’s not a new fashion statement, but the signature garment of the volunteer project dubbed Mānoa Makeover.

“The response has been great.

We’ve always had volunteers will-

ing to help the campus. Volunteers — students, faculty, staff, alumni and community members, enjoy these events as social and bondbuilding activities,” said Chancellor Virginia Hinshaw.

Since its conception in March 2008, the project has seen hundreds of volunteers give back to the university and community.

The idea was to create a volun-

teer program, through the chancellor’s offi ce and in partnership with the Landscaping Advisory Council, that focused on campus improvement. The fi rst project was the planting of monkeypod trees on Dole Street.

Roxanne Adams, landscaping manager, said the trees “had been on the long-term plan forever.”

The initiative expanded to largegroup campus cleanups, facility paint jobs, and botanical manicuring.

The most recent makeover took place last April, in celebration of Earth Day. Volunteers renovated the Varsity Gate entryway outside of Stan Sheriff Center.

They planted shrubs and groundcover to the area.

Efforts outside the Mānoa campus include the T.A.G. or “Totally Against Graffiti” endeavor.

Volunteers painted over graffiti in the lower Kaimukī, Mōili‘ili, and McCully areas. This involved several other community service groups such as Circle K and

Kaimukī Interact Club.

The campus community can see the long-term effects from the efforts of those two years ago.

“The monkeypod trees along Dole Street have grown signifi cantly since we planted them two years ago, like the dramatic changes at Varsity Gate, and the plantings near Hawai‘i Hall maintained by the College Opportunity Program, to name a few,” said Hinshaw. “We all enjoy the longterm improvements every day.”

Hinshaw stated that Mānoa Makeover “partners with UHM staff in these projects so [that] suitable plants and flowers are chosen for planting in appropriate sites and are maintained.”

On Saturday, Aug. 14 at 8:30 a.m., volunteers painted, cleaned, and gardened in the Hemenway Hall and Campus Center areas; the project made possible by American Savings Bank and the Offi ce of Student Life & Development. Sometimes, the university

also receives funding from grants, such as the Kaulunani grant that was used for the Varsity Gate makeover.

Adams points out ideas for future projects are already in development. Landscaping is working on organizing a replanting of the Queen Lili‘uokalani Center for Student Services ground floor courtyard, in conjunction with the College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources who will look at new palm introductions for the landscape.

There are also plans for a new potential gathering area that would be called Art Building Café or Textile Garden between the art building and Miller Hall.

Even though projects have been completed, current volunteers are still needed for their upkeep. According to Adams, one of the problems becomes maintenance during the establishment period of these new planting iniSee Makeover, page 7

Hamilton Library reveals newly renovated ground floor JANE CALLAHAN Associate News Editor

COURTESY OF HAMILTON LIBRARY

The effort to restore Hamilton Library has been a huge undertaking, and has finally been completed after six years. This initiative has been celebrated on Aug. 22nd, with a grand opening of the renovated ground floor.

In October 2004, heavy rains created a moat around Hamilton Library, funneling gushing waters past steel security doors and into the building.

Lynn Davis, head of the preser vation department of Hamilton Librar y, described the night she watched thousands of books being demolished by the f lood and what she saw as “a large -scale disaster.”

“I was at a party in Waikīkī, came home around 9:30 p.m. and had several messages on my machine [about what was happening],” she said.

“By 10 p.m. I was walking through the library in complete darkness, and it was like a sea of mud. It wasn’t until 1:30 a.m. that we went home to assess our options. We were back at 6 a.m. and by 4 p.m. we were loading docu-

ments into freezers.”

Freezing the documents was the best way to salvage the irreplaceable maps and photos affected by the water. By freezing the documents, mold is hindered from growing and further damage by handling is reduced.

“I’m talking about tens of thousands of maps. We had to make a decision,” said Davis.

“We had to identify the most important materials that could still be recovered, which were maps of Hawai‘i and the Pacific, as well as aerial photographs.”

Despite the staff’s actions, some materials were lost from the catalog forever. In the days following the fl ooding, photographs and archives were found scattered throughout the surrounding area.

Six years later, the recovery process is near complete and the damaged structure has been rebuilt. On Sunday, Aug. 22, Hamilton See article, page 8

tiatives. “We are hoping to hire student help to assist us in our efforts,” said Adams.

Students can take initiative and propose their own ideas for makeovers. Although no students have brought forward an idea, Adams said, “We would be very interested in their input.”

Students who study within certain disciplines can apply their education to Mānoa Makeover projects as well. Those studying anything from botany to art can offer their skills in the process. “(Disciplines with) designing, planning, organizing, super vision, and implementation all come to mind,” Adams said. “ We have worked with architecture and engineering students to design, build and install outdoor furniture and walkways and pathways.”

COURTESY OF HAMILTON LIBRARY

Library had their grand opening of the renovated ground fl oor that included a one-time showcasing of some of the rare maps that were almost lost.

Davis says the most fascinating thing about seeing the maps on display is the living history found in them. “These maps go back to the late 1800s, and if you know Hawai‘i history, you know that many changes happened. In 1893 the government was overthrown, and in 1899 there was a major fi re in Honolulu,” Davis added. “When you look at them, you learn something.”

To take people even further into the story of the library’s recovery, visitors were taken into the on-site lab where 15,000 maps were treated. The “sneak peak” breaks down the painstaking process of document recovery and preservation. This type of lab at UHM is one of two in the Pacifi c; the other is in New Zealand.

Not all valuable documents were treated on campus. The extensive damage to some of the materials required the university to hire the services of Balfour, a document recovery company in Texas.

Outsourcing the recovery of 43,000 maps, as well as the cost

of the service, took the biggest amount out of the reconstruction budget. The maps were mailed immediately following the disaster, and the treatment was completed in January 2007.

The total document recovery cost nearly three million dollars, which came from insurance money, state money, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). FEMA did not become involved until the following February. Their observations of how the crisis was handled led the university to receive national recognition from FEMA. “We weren’t in a rush to get those documents back because in the meantime we had nowhere to put them,” said Davis. Computers, bookcases, and other resources besides archives had been damaged as well, leaving little opportunity to organize new resources.

The fl ood drew attention to natural disaster preparedness.

“The year after this, Katrina happened. I think America woke up to disaster prevention,” Davis said.

Preventive measures involve “fi re insurance maps”, which are made by insurance companies in several U.S. cities. Improvements were made to the ground fl oor and stream, to mitigate the impacts of

a potential fl ood. These efforts involved the state, county and federal government.

Davis is also involved in educational programs providing disaster preparedness instruction. She received a grant for establishing training programs in the Western territories, which include United States’ West Coast, Samoa and Guam.

In 2009, the program yielded positive results. Davis explained “I did training in Samoa in 2008, and the next year there was a tsunami there, which hit a collection in a library on one of the islands, and everyone who worked there knew what to do.”

The recovery effort, however, continues. “We still have 3,000 to 5,000 maps to work on,” Davis clarified. Despite the road ahead, Davis is happy with the restoration. “To be able to walk in these areas again is such a relief,” she said.

The grand opening occurred between 2 to 4 p.m., and tours were conducted starting at the circulation desk every 15 minutes. The event was hosted by Paula Mochida, interim librarian and coordinated by Teri SkillmanKashyap, events and communications planner.

Athletics fee approved by BOR LYNN NAK AGAWA News Editor

The UH Board of Regents overwhelmingly approved the athletics fee at its meeting on July 15.

The regents heard from 18 speakers, 11 opposed, six in favor, and one asking the board to seriously consider the fee’s implications.

The BOR approved the fee with 11 in favor and three opposed. Artemio Baxa, Chuck Gee and John Holzman voted against the fee. The remaining regents, Carl Carlson Jr., Michael Dahilig, Clifford Dias, Mark Fukunaga, Dennis Hirota, Howard Karr, James Lee, Eric Martinson, Ramon de la Pena, Teena Rasmussen, and student representative Matthew Williams, voted in favor. Volleyball coach Dave Shoji was the only UH coach to give testimony. Shoji was in favor of the fee and is hopeful it will generate increased student turnout at games.

Andrew Itsuno, the Associated Students of the University of

Hawai‘i (ASUH) president, also gave testimony at the meeting.

“It’s not whether we support UH athletics or not, we all do. It’s about holding the administration accountable to the same process other university bodies are held to when proposing fees,” said Itsuno at the meeting. “I humbly ask that you vote no to the athletic fee.”

ASUH has opposed the fee on the grounds of timing and lack of student consultation and support.

A survey conducted by ASUH last year showed that 77 percent of the students surveyed were opposed to the implementation of the fee. The survey was conducted through the University of Hawai‘i Information & Services Portal (MyUH) and polled 11,000 full-time undergraduates.

The athletics department plans to meet with ASUH, the Graduate Student Organization (GSO) and other student groups for recommendations on student seating and how the fi ve to eight percent of the revenue designated for students will be spent. For this

purpose, a new Student Athletic Fee Committee will be formed.

Itsuno says ASUH plans to fight for better student-designated seating.

“A lot of the seats allocated for students are in places where students don’t want to sit, such as the end zone at football games,” said Itsuno. “It’s like that for volleyball and baseball too. We’re going to work hard to get better seats so students can support the teams,” said Itsuno.

The fee, $50 per semester, will be implemented on Jan. 1 but free admission to games may begin in September. Students will have free access to home games with a valid student ID. The fee is projected to raise $2 million annually, $1.85 million of which will be spent on expenses directly related to student athletes and not on compensation and benefits for coaches or staff.

A life’s worth can be measured by the legacy one leaves behind. On the morning of June 21, the University of Hawai‘i lost one of its most influential legacies. Affectionately referred to as “CJ,” a reference towards his time as Chief Justice of Hawai‘i, William S. Richardson impacted many lives.

R ichardson was one to do things first, establishing the first and only law school in Hawai‘i after a long and successful career of legal innovation.

E A R LY C A R E E R

Born in 1919, Richardson grew up through major world events, some of which he became an integral part of. He fought in World War II in the Army Air Forces as a platoon leader in the Philippines under the 1st Filipino Infantry Regiment, for which he was later inducted into the Infantry Officer Candidate School Hall of Fame. He

CJ Richardson leaves influential legacy pushed for, and saw through, the establishment of Hawai‘i as a state in 1959.

Richardson would tell stories of running barefoot in Kaimukīī as a child. He attended Roosevelt High School and went on to earn his degree from the University of Hawai‘i, to which he would return after acquiring a law degree from the University of Cincinnati in 1943.

Upon returning to the islands, Richardson quickly began to build upon a legal career that would later benefit Hawai‘i for decades to come. He became chairman of the Hawai‘i Democratic Party in 1956 for eight years, and then served as Lt. Governor under Hawai‘i’s first elected governor, John Burns. Richardson was the first person of Hawaiian descent to be elected to that office. This eventually led to his tenure as a Chief Justice in the Hawai‘i Supreme Court for 16 years.

“C J ” During his time as Chief Justice,

Richardson was dedicated to Hawai‘i and its people. UH law professor John Van Dyke explained that Richardson “was so effective in combining Aloha with wisdom. He understood that Hawai‘i was a state that would face unique issues, and thus focused on laws that would address the state’s individual situation, particularly regarding land and water issues.”

His rulings include that lands created by lava fl ows belong to the state and that beaches should be open to the public.

“His rulings fostered the sense of community cultivated by the ancient Hawaiians and exuded a respect for the beauty and richness of Hawaiian lands, as well as reflected the ancient Hawaiian way of life,” said Van Dyke.

REALIZING THE DREAM A long-time advocate for the establishment of a law school, Richardson saw his dream come true in 1973, when he retired from his posi-

tion as Chief Justice. He was a constant presence in the law school, his commitments ranging from visiting classes to keeping an office, fostering the school’s growth until his death.

Richardson could present no better evidence of his love for the university’s law school than with the celebration of his 90th birthday. In lieu of a standard birthday party, Richardson chose to throw a fundraiser for the law school.

“He gave up what turned out be his final birthday party to help the school and students he loved so much,” said Sen. Daniel Akaka in a statement.

The school Richardson built loved him in return. University of Hawai‘i president M.R.C. Greenwood remarked that Richardson’s legacy will live on “through the many graduates who earn their degrees” from the university’s law school.

Dean Avi Soifer stated that Richardson’s “legacy will live on through the multiple ways that he influenced and changed the law in Hawai‘i and also

by all those he touched personally.”

Cynthia Quinn, director of communications and external relations at the law school, can attest to the lasting effect of Richardson’s legacy.

“I returned to the law school to do my part to continue the legacy he built, so that others have a chance like I did — all because of CJ.” Van Dyke felt Richardson’s ideals helped shape the law school in its excellence. “His focus on environmental issues and the rights of Native Hawaiians has defi nitely influenced the law school, and now we have an excellent Environmental Law Program and the Ka Huli Ao Center for Excellence on Native Hawaiian Law,” said Van Dyke.

While certainly a mover and shaker in the legal community, he was a remarkable person in his private life as well.

“He carried out his commitments in every walk of life,” said Quinn, referring to his time as a Kamehameha Schools trustee

M ARIANA MONASI Staff Reporter In early June the No. 16 seeded Rainbow Wahine softball team (50 -16) finished an unforgettable season with a 1-2 record in the program’s first NCA A Women’s College World Series ( WCWS) in Oklahoma City, Okla.

“I just want to thank this team for taking me on the journey of a lifetime. It was an incredible ride this year. It was unbelievable,” said head coach Bob Coolen, who has guided the program to nine NCA A appearances in his 20

years with the program. “ Twent y- eight days on the road with these ladies and not once did they falter,” he continued. “ T hey played to their best.

It was a great year for us.”

EUGENE, Ore. – University of Hawai‘i’s Amber Kaufman became the school’s fi rst track and field national champion in 26 years after winning the high jump at the NCA A Outdoor Championships on June 9 at the University of Oregon’s Hayward Field.

Kaufman, a multisport star who was also an AllAmerican in volleyball, cleared 6 feet 1.25 inches (1.86 meters) and beat out Arizona’s Elizabeth Patterson. Patterson, who defeated Kaufman at the NCA A Indoor meet in March, cleared 6 feet (1.83 meters).

“I feel amazing, this is something I’ve dreamt about and the one thing I’ve wanted as an athlete,” Kaufman said.

“I couldn’t be more excited. After the field was cut to four, I felt I had the edge. I didn’t have any misses and the other girls had one or two. I definitely felt loose out there and knew I had the advantage when the bar moved higher.”

The event was delayed for more than a half hour due to heavy rains in the area. Kaufman passed on the opening height and then cleared 5 feet 9.25 inches (1.76 meters) and 5 feet 10.75 inches (1.80 meters) on her fi rst attempts. The field of 24 was whittled to four and among the remaining competitors were Kaufman, Patterson, UC Santa Barbara’s Jane Doolittle and Nebraska’s Epley Bullock.

At 6 feet (1.83 meters), Kaufman and Patterson cleared on their attempts and Doolittle missed on all three. Bullock missed her fi rst two attempts before

passing to the next height, where Kaufman easily fl ew over the bar at 6 feet 1.25 inches (1.86 meters).

Bullock was eliminated after her miss and Patterson missed on her fi rst attempt before deciding to pass to the next height of 6 feet 2.75 inches (1.89 meters).

With the championship on the line, Patterson missed on her f inal t wo attempts giving K aufman the championship.

“I’m extremely happy for her,” head coach Carymn James said. “She had to be so mentally tough due to the weather conditions and to wait around for so long – her fi rst jump didn’t occur until an hour and 15 minutes into the event. She also had to stay warm and focused through the length of competition. I’m just so happy. She deserved it and I’m so happy for University of Hawai‘i who hasn’t had a national champion in 26 years.”

UH’s last track and field national champion was Gwen Loud, who won the long jump at the 1984 outdoor championships. Loud and Kaufman are the only track and field national champions in school history.

For Kaufman, the gold is her third medal in as many national championships. She captured the silver in March at the indoor championships and took bronze at the 2009 outdoor championships.

Yoshikawa, who was f ighting back tears, said she’d re member the unit y of this year’s team the most. “ We are a really close team.

We had prett y much no drama at all,” she said. “ We backed each other ever y single time.

“It ’s been really, I guess you could say, life - changing,” said A guirre, who was also in tears. “ W hen you have a team that ’s as close as we are, it shows on the f ield. T he chemistr y that we have really brought out the best in all of us as players and just as people in general.”

“It’s been a wild ride,” she continued. “We’re all sorry to see it end this way but we know that we went out with a bang and we really put our best foot forward.”

T his year’s team shattered the previous program (84) and NCA A single -season homerun record (134) with 158, including three in the WCWS by Yoshikawa (t wo) and A guirre (one). Eight of the nine starting hitters had atleast 11 homeruns.

T he team also broke school

records in most runs scored (488), most runs batted in (449), most doubles (92), most walks (185), most strikeouts (358), most home runs (158) and most hits (578).

Freshman center f ielder Kelly Majam, led the nation with 30 homeruns, which also set a school and WAC single season record. Her 81 runs scored and 44 walks were also school single -season records.

T he ’Bows also won both the Western Athletic Conference and regular season championship for the f irst time. T he team’s 19 -1 WAC record was also a program best.

Junior third baseman Melissa Gonzales (first team) and Majam (second team) were selected to the Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-America teams. The two are the program’s eighth and ninth

All-Americans and finished tied for the team lead of 60 RBI. T he R ainbow Wahine swept the WAC awards. Coolen was named WAC Coach of the Year, freshman shortstop Jessica Iwata was the player of the year, Kelly Majam was the freshman of the year, and sophomore Stephanie R icketts was the pitcher of the year.

Iwata, Majam and Ricketts were joined by junior designated player Jenna Rodrigues and Gonzales on the all-WAC fi rst team and senior fi rst baseman Amanda Tauali’i was named to the second.

Gonzales, Rodriguez and Majam earned f irst team NFCA all-West Region honors while Iwata and R icketts were named to the second team.

T he team’s success has already helped recruiting, according to Coolen - specif ically

with local players.

“It ’s opened up the eyes of a lot of young ladies at home, who now want to stay home.

It ’s been tougher and tougher to keep local-grown players at home,” he said. “ This journey has brought out a lot of e -mails from local players who now see we have reached the level that they want to play at,” he continued. “I am ver y pleased by what we are getting as far as the athletics from all over the country and just the recruits that have started to look at us as a power to reckon and that bodes well for us.”

“I want to thank ever ybody for following us and all the alo ha and support from the fans,” Tauali’i said in her video blog on the Universit y of Hawai‘i athletic Web site.

“It’s been a wonderful season.”

Scott Pilgrim vs.

The Reviewers

MONDAY, AUG. 23, 2010

13

C HRIS M IKESELL Opinions Editor

If fi lmgoers can learn one thing from “Scott Pilgrim vs. The World,” it’s that sometimes the past can come back to bite you in the ass.

It’s just that in Scott Pilgrim’s case, the teeth – and the fi sts, swords, and fi reballs – are quite real.

Pilgrim, played by perpetual geek actor Michael Cera, has likely been described as a slacker by most every other fi lm reviewer on the planet, but with good reason. Pilgrim is between jobs, he shares an apartment (and a mattress) with his gay roommate Wallace (Kieran Culkin), and he’s awkward with women.

Yet most reviewers stop examining Scott Pilgrim’s precious little life there. That’s a shame because there is more to Pilgrim than the video gameinspired effects that punctuate his life.

Pilgrim begins the fi lm not just as an awkward geek, but also as a guy unable to do the right thing in his relationships. He fi nds himself juggling both a 17-year-old Chinese Catholic school student named Knives Chau (Ellen Wong) and the technicolorhaired girl of his dreams, Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead).

Pilgrim and Ramona may be perfect for one another. Pilgrim’s got just as many relationship battle scars as Ramona, but the only way he can learn just how bad he’s treating women is to be confronted with Ramoma’s deadly emotional baggage – seven evil exes, to be exact.

Ultimately, that’s the appeal – Scott Pilgrim is the flawed protagonist for the nerd age. Some people don’t get it – they can’t get past the pixelated graphics and the unfamiliar sound effects.

Pay those people no heed – Scott Pilgrim is not for them, and never was.

What may surprise fans, however, is the amount of effort that went into keeping the Scott Pilgrim fi lm faithful to the source material.

Everything from the authentic dialogue to the frenetic editing pace to the art direction of the movie looks, appropriately, like it’s been ripped

c a n you

PHOTO MCT CAMPUS

straight out of a video game.

Plus, you wouldn’t think just by looking at Michael Cera that he’d be capable of performing a decent fight scene, but in a story focused around the surreal brawls between Pilgrim and his seven would-be assassins, director Edgar Wright does a good job of making sure the action is intense enough to hold the interest of martial arts fans.

Fans of the books may be dismayed to fi nd out where the fi lm deviates from Brian Lee O’Malley’s original six-part graphic novel. Like its comic-book fi lm brother, “Watchmen,” however, the changes are plausible and ultimately for the better.

But the look, the feel, the sound and the sensibility of Pilgrim’s world is something that could very well be a litmus test for the video game generation.

Either you get it or you don’t – and judging by the reactions of many reviewers who seem alienated by the very idea of a movie like this one, their age is showing.

That’s just Scott Pilgrim’s world. It wouldn’t be Scott Pilgrim without it.

Final Verdict: Scott Pilgrim is a fi lm for the video game generation – outsiders may not get it, but it’s still worth experiencing if only to get a perspective of our world. Solid A.

Smartphone site makes bus travel better C HRIS M IKESELL Opinions Editor

Trying to figure out what to do with that shiny new U-PASS that came with your validated student ID? You might want to try planning a bus trip with your cell phone.

TheBusHEA, a website that allows users to track city bus arrivals using real-time GPS data, can be accessed by anyone with an internet-enabled phone while waiting at a stop to fi nd the next 25 buses set to arrive there.

Most experienced HEA users know that the site, now entering its second year online, can look up bus data when given the cross street, but there are often multiple stops at each corner of an intersection or on different sides of the same street.

What HEA users may not know

is that they can easily look up the schedule of a bus stop once they know the stop’s ID number.

Try checking out these bus stops using the HEA site:

U N I V E R S I T Y AV E N U E Sinclair Circle (stop 983) is the main terminal for the A Express, a limited-stop route that stretches from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa to Waipahu, making stops throughout Downtown, Chinatown, Kalihi and Pearl City.

Just makai of Sinclair Circle is stop 297, serviced not only by Route 18, which can take you to Ala Moana Center, but also by Route 4 returning from Waikīkī.

It is also where Route 6 stops when returning from Ward Center at night.

Look toward the mountains from Sinclair Circle instead and

you will fi nd stop 413 on the other side of University Avenue, near YogurtLand. Head there if you’re looking to catch Route 6 to Ward Center or Ala Moana Center, or Route 4 to Waikīkī. You can also catch Route 18 from here, which travels past the dorms to the Market City Shopping Center.

DOLE STREET Stop 861, just a few steps from the three statues fronting the parking structure, is the last Dole Street stop Route 6 services during the day before turning onto EastWest Road on its way to stop 862.

That same stop 861, along with stops 2100 and 2101, will also allow you to hop onto Route 18 to get to Market City Shopping Center, which services the area about once an hour.

Stop 3674, a bench within

GRAPHIC ILLUSTRATION CHRIS MIKESELL/ KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

sight of the “Gate of Hope” orange pipe sculpture in front of Holmes Hall, is the most convenient stop for residents of Gateway Hall to catch Route 18 to Ala Moana Center since Route 6 doesn’t come back in the town-bound direction through the UH Mānoa Campus.

T H E BAC K ROA D S

Besides stop 862, Route 6 also stops at the East-West Center (stop

863) as well as across the street from Paradise Palms Cafe and Moore Hall at stop 864. It also stops across from the Business Administration building at Stop 865 before leaving campus and heading onto the hillsides of Mānoa.

Remember that Route 6 does not stop at any stops between 861 and 865 late at night or when the UH Mānoa campus is closed.

Get Involved with ASUH DAVIN AOYAGI Managing Editor

Students interested in getting involved on campus and student government should consider joining the Associated Students of the University of Hawai‘i. According to the ASUH website, “The Associated Students of the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa (ASUH) is the undergraduate student government representing all full-time, classified, undergraduate students at the Mānoa Campus. ASUH was chartered by the University of Hawai‘i Board of Regents in 1912 and is now in its 98th year of serving and representing students.”

ASUH currently has 24 vacancies, with 14 seats vacant from the College of Arts and Sciences, two from Shidler College of Business, one from College of Education, one from the School of Architecture, one from the School of Pacific and Asian Studies, one from the Hawai‘inuiakea School of Hawaii Knowledge, one from the school of Travel Industry Management, one from College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources, one from the School of Ocean, Earth Science, and Technology, and one from the College of Health Sciences and Social Welfare.

Students who belong to those schools and are interested in running can stop by the ASUH offi ce during the fi rst week of school and pick up election packets. According to Anna Koethe, ASUH vice president, “Once they fi ll out the packets and turn them in by the deadline students will be able to vote for them during the special election period in fall.”

The benefits of joining ASUH include an in-depth knowledge of situations affecting UH Mānoa and the experience of student government.

Students looking to get involved in student government should apply for ASUH. DAVIN AOYAGI Managing Editor For many students looking to get into a good graduate school or a good job, extracurricular activities and community involvement may be a deciding factor in landing those opportunities. UH Mānoa offers many opportunities to get engaged both on and off campus.

REGISTERED INDEPENDENT O RGA N I Z AT I O N S (R I O S) R IOs are essentially campusbased student clubs and are a great way to make friends. With groups such as Circle K International, Peer Mentor Ohana, and Sustainable Saunders, community service projects are not hard to come by. Furthermore, other R IOs such as the Pre Medical Association and the Pre Law Association offer advice, help and networking opportunities for those interested. R IOs allow students to polish their résumés as well as prepare themselves for their future careers. For a full list of R IOs, visit http://www.hawaii. edu/caps/rio/list.htm.

CHARTERED STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS (CSOS) Unlike RIOs, which rely on member fees, CSOs are organizations that allocate monies collected from student fees. There are six CSOs on campus: Associated Students of the University of Hawaii (ASUH), Graduate Student Organization (GSO), Board of Publications (BoP), Broadcasting Communication Authority (BCA), Campus Center Board (CCB), and Student Activity Program Fee Board (SAPFB).

These six CSOs offer leadership opportunities for interested students, and carr y large amounts of responsibility that will look good to any employer or selection committee. Above all, the experience gained from your time in these CSOs or the programs that they operate will build positive traits for future careers. For more information on the CSOs, go to http://w w w. hawaii.edu/caps/cso/cso.htm

SERVICE LEARNING PROGRAM (SLP) The Ser vice L earning Pro gram offers access to informa-

DAVIN AOYAGI / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

From Oct. 27 - 30, the University of Hawai‘i system is offering free collection, disposal, and recycling of e-waste at six campuses.

DAVIN AOYAGI M ANAGING EDITOR Computers, televisions and cell phones are crucial items that help us conduct our daily lives. But with advancements every day, new technologies will continue to replace old Motorola R A ZRs and clunky laptops. This electronic waste, or e-waste, often has the potential to leak hazardous materials into landfills and the ground.

According to a recent article

by Las Cruces Sun-News (N.M.), “Car, camera, computer, cell phone and power-tool batteries... are also called lithium-ion, leadacid, nickel-cadmium, zinc-air batteries. These batteries contain toxic heavy metals …(that risk leaking) into our landfi ll.”

These toxic commodities are also rarely recycled. The Environmental Protection Agency states that 26.9 million televisions, 205.5 million computers, and 140.3 million cell phones were thrown out

in 2007. Only an estimated 13.6 percent of those were recycled.

The United Nations Environment Programme has said that, “Some 20 to 50 million metric tonnes of e-waste are generated worldwide every year.”

In response to this risk, many companies are offering programs to assist consumers in recycling their e-waste.

C O M P U T E R M A N U FAC T U R I N G C OM PA N I E S Many computer-manufac turing companies have recycling programs, including Acer, Apple, A SUS, Dell, Fujitsu, Gateway, Hewlett-Packard, and L enovo. T hese programs pro vide consumers and businesses with environmentally friendly options for the disposal of their used products. Some companies even of fer trade -in or credit as incentives. For more information, see: http://hawaii.gov/ h e a l t h/e n v i r o n m e n t a l/w a s t e/ sw/hedr p/PDF_ Document s/Re cyclingPlansSummary.pdf

HAWAII E-WASTE COLLECTORS: Locally, there are many companies that recycle e-waste. These companies include: Environmental Transport Group, HA ZTECH Environmental Services, Island Recycling, Pacifi c Commercial Services, Pacifi c Corporate Solutions, Pacifi c Environmental Corp. (PENCO), Recycle Hawai‘i, and EnviroServices and Training.

Mobility and weight are two factors to consider. Generally, netbooks are the most portable devices, sometimes weighing between 3 to 4 pounds. Notebooks on the other hand, tend to be slightly heavier, and are usually between 5 to 7 pounds. Laptops are the heaviest, weighing between 8 to 12 pounds. The choice in mobility and weight for the college student is usually key, as taking a laptop or notebook to lecture may be a cumbersome endeavor.

C O M P U T I N G P OW E R A lighter and more mobile laptop however, usually has far less computing power than a notebook or laptop. The Intel Atom 250 and 450 processors for example, have far less power than the Core2Duo, the i3, and the i5 processors found in notebooks and laptops. Netbooks also lack in hard drive space, RAM, and graphics capability. In short, netbooks are good for surďŹ ng the web and typing up documents, but shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be used for photo and video editing.

Notebooks and laptops have the potential to do the tasks that netbooks cannot. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important however, to have relatively powerful components. DDR3 RAM, an i3, i5, or i7 processor, and a decent graphics card (one that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t integrated) are factors to consider.

BAT T E RY L I F E

High-powered laptops tend to be batter y burners, and as such of ten run on six to eight cell lithium-ion batteries. One can estimate that there will be a charge bet ween one to three hours on these t ypes of computers. For netbooks, a three - cell batter y can last up to three hours, while a six- cell batter y can last bet ween four to eight hours. Purchasing a larger, extra batter y may help students keep their computers on during long school days.

PRICE

One of the most important considerations for college students is price. Netbooks tend to range between $200 -$400, notebooks between $400 $800, and laptops from $800 -$2,000. The compo nents that students wish to include account for the large price range. Furthermore, certain brands have higher build quality than other brands. For example, E -Machines and Acer are both known for being â&#x20AC;&#x153;budget brands,â&#x20AC;? and thus having a lower build quality.

For example, ult ra low volt age laptops of fer longer bat ter y li fe, greater mobilit y, and st ronger specs than a netbook. T hey are, in essence, a hybr id of a netbook and a notebook.

They say every picture tells a story. For the tattoo artisan, creativity is expressed through body art - where each image reveals a little about its bearer.

Perhaps more pronounced than simple words, this ancient art has existed in various forms for more than 2,000 years as a significant method of communicating - culturally and spiritually.

For a newly minted tattooist, like Jose “Chino” Ayala, the single most important part of picking a design is the meaning behind it.

Ayala, a lifelong artist, was persuaded to pursue his love of art by a friend who gave Ayala his first tattoo kit. “I had already come up with all these designs that I wanted…within ten minutes of receiving my kit I was hooked,” grinned Ayala, “I picked up the gun and just kept working until I had finished my first self-tattoo.”

Like many tattoo artists, Ayala believes that a person’s tattoo should hold some special meaning. “One of my first tattoos was this Samurai battling the octopus,” he confided, “It talks about all the struggles I have had to overcome in my life.”

“Then,” Ayala points to yet another image, “the Shark reminds me to always be vigilant.”

It is believed that the word “tattoo” is derived from the Tahitian and Samoan word, “tatau”, and the Marquesan, “tatu.” This form of expression was first described in logs kept by Captain James Cooke from 1768-1771. Unlike their Polynesian neighbors, who were able to maintain this specialized craft, missionary influence during the early 19th century eradicated tattooing in Tonga.

As with many indigenous peoples, native Hawaiians employed a monochromatic method of tattooing, “kakau” (for mourning individuals) or “uhi” (celebratory markings), as part of their social practices - reserving the most elaborate of designs for the ali’i (royalty). Preparing ink using plant materials or the ashes of burnt kukui nuts, native artisans hand struck each design with bone and stick

23

implements, expertly forging images into flesh.

Depending on their social ranking, men’s tattoos often covered their entire bodies, while women’s tattoos were mostly confined to their hands or lower arms. Besides operating as a social indicator, tattoos were also applied to the tongue of a woman, as a sign of mourning. Unlike the proliferation of “hula girl” figures that adorned the biceps of many early sailors, tattoos often provided details about the person’s life and family lineage.

Drawing upon nature for inspiration, traditional Hawaiian tattooist Keone Nunes invokes culturally significant themes through the use of geometric patterns.

Nunes, a frequent lecturer with the Hawaiian Studies department, creates images representative of the native birds, plants, and sea life vital to Hawaiian culture.

In Hawaiian society, it was the males, predominately the kahuna, who were trained as masters in the art of tattooing - utilizing both literal and figurative images as part of their work.

Unlike today, where many customers tell the tattooist what they want, the traditional tattoo artisan was not only responsible for what images were created, but also who could receive a tattoo. This control was necessary to maintain not only cultural and spiritual rituals, but also the social hierarchy integral to native Polynesian society.

Masters were held in high esteem, often living under the patronage of their clientele and highly compensated for their artistry.

A letter from t he editor...

Communication has certainly evolved; from its preliterate days of art carvings, to the innovative use of digitized communication - utilizing the internet to reach a global audience.

Ka Lamakua, as online sister publication to Ka Leo, represents not only the seventh grail of communication, but also, the alternative and creative source of information at UH MÄ noa.

According to acclaimed photo essayist, Ansel Adams, â&#x20AC;&#x153;No man has the right to dictate what other men should perceive, create or produce, but all should be encouraged to reveal themselves, their perceptions and emotions, and to build confidence in the creative spirit.â&#x20AC;?

This spirit is kept alive by the many talented artists and contributors that comprise the Ka Lamakua family, whose collective efforts work to keep the creative fire burning, through provocative and thoughtful insights of life.

Light, fire, and heat are often used as symbols of thought and innovation, and we hope that, by drawing on the genealogical heritage of the great chief Kalamakua, and the symbolic heritage of the Hawaiian people, weâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the students of UH MÄ noaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;can follow in the great tradition of Hawaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great creative thinkers.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to freedom of expression and the creative fire that burns within us all.

clientele and highly compensated for their artistry.

Tattooing, as an art form and a means of communication, has come full circle from the days of drunken sailors, finding diversity in a new base of clientele.

For UH junior, Lindsey “Mikey” Freitas, the act of getting a tattoo was not only aesthetic, but symbolic. “My first tattoo is very special to me,” said Freitas, pointing to kanji lettering on his right bicep, “I got this with my brother as a bonding experience and I think of him every time I look at it.”

Freitas, who is majoring in history and religion, laughed when he spoke of the “curse of the tattoo.”

“They say you never want to get your boy/girlfriend’s name tattooed on you…it’s a sure sign that you will break up,” he said.

UH senior Marica Centeno recently received her very first tattoo. The image, which wraps around her left hip/thigh, includes a musical bar with notes to music that she wrote herself - including one special note, hidden within her groin.

A business management major, Marica is also a flautist and writes her own music, “My own tattoo is very special - it represents all that I have been through in my life and how I have worked to overcome the limitations and obstacles by rising above them.”

For Ayala, an artist who is just embarking upon his journey as a tattooist, every image should have meaning.

“The way I grew up I have seen a lot of crazy stuff…and tagging was only for outcasts.” Ayala’s voice softened, “I wanted to express myself as positively as I can and still be true to my art form…everyone has a story and their tattoo should tell their story.”

26 Rediscovering Home Base

By Chelsea Tokuno Contributer

The University of Hawai‘i’s Beau Press stopped running three years ago. Since then, I’ve been a student at this school, and never once have I given more than a passing thought to the sturdy, blockish building that sits between the former Ka Leo headquarters and the bookstore. I never bothered to consider the purpose or function of a building that once housed the Beau Press and its massive press machine—a machine that produced 15,000 copies of each issue of Ka Leo before it was shut down in the summer of 2007 and sold to a stranger in California.

This structure is known as Building 6. Built in 1915, it is one of the oldest buildings on campus, second only to Hawai’i Hall. With almost a century under its belt, it has seen numerous occupants. Building 6 was once part of the engineering quadrangle before it was adopted in the 1970s as the new location for the press. Departments, faculties, student organizations, the Hawai‘i Review, and Ka Leo all looked to the press and its student operators to produce the latest flyers, brochures, issues, and publications.

It was cheaper back then to do all the printing on campus. Ironically, by 2007, it was cheaper to ditch the independent printing and outsource Ka Leo to The Honolulu Advertiser. A tragic combination of expensive maintenance fees and worn excuses to preserve the press led to the Board of Publication’s decision to unplug the press and sell it.

After bouncing from California to Canada, it now resides somewhere in the bowels of Kansas, leaving its

former lodging Building 6 as little more than an empty shell.

I missed the days of Beau Press by a month, coming in as a freshman just after the press had made its exit. But some students might remember the press and how Building 6 was not just built to inspire some kind of failed intrigue. Those curious enough to take a peek inside of the strange, warehouse-like building would have seen the huge metal apparatuses whirring tirelessly, and the student operators working steadily. Maybe they knew that Building 6 held a full-fledged press operation that had been developed over the span of forty years. And those who actually worked as press operators and student workers can recall the community that formed around this production.

Located in the heart of campus, Building 6 was the perfect home base for student workers as they sprawled across chairs to nap during breaks, swung by between classes to drop off bags and books, or simply hung out. In its heyday, the building witnessed the camaraderie of students working together to pump out issue after issue, flyer after flyer. It was an unofficial, apprentice-like program, in which mentors trained students in the trade of printmaking. Looking at it from a slightly romanticized perspective, I think it is safe to say that Building 6 was a clubhouse of sorts, the home base, and the hangout for a community that was invested in seeing campus publications thrive. And when there was a press sitting right at their fingertips, the operators, writers, and Continued on page 28

Over the summer, Ka Leo began a series of investigations into how money is spent on the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa campus. In the course of this investigation, a question arose as to whether UHM students really understood the university’s complicated organizational structure.

In an effort to educate the student body on this point, Ka Lamakua is publishing this organizational chart of the top UH System Executives and UHM Executives. The chart includes their official titles, names, salaries as of August 2010, and (when appropriate) the number of free athletic tickets each executive received from June 2009

– June 2010, as reported to the State Ethics Commission. Together with the Board of Regents, who do not receive a salary, UHM Executives received complementary athletic tickets with the total worth $13,593 during the period of June 2009 - June 2010.

Those gift disclosures can be found at the State Ethics Commission website at: http://hawaii.gov/ethics/giftdisc. A digital version of UHM’s Organizational Chart can be found here: http://www. manoa.hawaii.edu/ovcafo/neworg_ charts/index.html.

The salaries of all UH Faculty and Administrators are publically available at: http://www.hawaii.edu/offices/eaur/ govrel/reports/2010/ under “Annual Report on Salaries.”

editors experienced the reward of watching their combined efforts come together. These individuals got to see their ideas and collaborations solidify into something tangible.

However, money and required maintenance work overruled nostalgia and the desire to keep all aspects of Ka Leo’s production within the realm of UHM. Once Ka Leo started cutting back on issues and the press became more detrimental to the school budget than anything else, the press got the boot.

While the partnership with the Advertiser gave Ka Leo readers more aesthetically-pleasing issues of the school paper, the whole process of collaborating with editor, writer, and press operator became less…whole. No last-minute adjustments can be made once the issue is processed and in the hands of the Advertiser’s press operators. There is less chance for good, steady communication between outsourcing and the editor.

Three years later, Building 6 has been half emptied of its machinery and the relationships that had been built around it. Only a few gallery gigs and maybe a student-run event or two have kept it occupied. Building 6 will be knocked down before it hits its one-hundredth birthday in order to make way for the recreational center that will replace the engineering quad.

For me, it is a bittersweet story. I have underrated this campus for all three years that I have been here, looking at UH with little enthusiasm for its campus life and seeing the campus itself a sorry mish-mash of buildings hobbled together over the years. But these buildings have more to them-- the campus is a collection of diverse constructions, each with a community attached and a story behind it.

So long as we stay curious and eager to peek inside the next strange, deserted-looking building we find on campus, there are stories to be found there.

On Friday, August 27th, the Hard Rock Café in Honolulu will be rocking out in memory of the legendary Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Stevie Ray Vaughan, a singer/ songwriter and one of the best guitarists to ever rock the earth, met an untimely end at the young

age of 35 in a helicopter crash 20 years ago. He left the world too soon, just after beating drug and alcohol addiction.

Vaughan’s success in these personal battles reaffirmed his passion and dedication to not only his music, but to his fans as well. This

passion, coupled with his amazing talent, has made Stevie Ray Vaughan the renown rock-and-roll legend he is today.

31 Ka Lamakua presents action-packed new web comic

By Will Caron Contributor Like many other things including newspapers, journal entries and your social life, comics have been transitioning from life in print to life online. Popular web comics like Penny Arcade, Player V.S. Player and Starslip have shown that a workable career can be made out of creating art, posting it and then letting people see it for free. Though this may not make sense at first, companies like Youtube, Face-

book and Twitter have all made fortunes using the same advertisment-based business formula.

Ka Lamakua is a perfect example of this shift from print to online media - in all forms, including comics. To that end, Ka Lamakua presents a new online comic coming this Fall semester.

THE S TTORY ORY Three years after Kensuke Ishida lost half his family in an attack by the terrorist, Amon, a chain of assassinations heralds the return of Interpol’s most wanted criminal.

Amon once again targets the Ishida family, this time coming after Kensuke himself. But the terrorist spares Kensuke’s life, instead leaving him with strange, new powers, bizarre visions and an intense desire for revenge.

Amon must be stopped, but Kensuke’s visions increasingly point him towards a myster y of biblical propor tions; one that could change the world forever.

“The First Born” is an original comic written and drawn by Will Caron. The first issue is scheduled for release at the end of September.

Hannemann fails to make the grade with UHM students C HRIS M IKESELL Opinions Editor

Gubernatiorial candidate Mufi Hannemann might want our votes – but he isn’t winning hearts and minds here at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa.

It ’s standard practice to put out mass mailings of political ads during an election year, but Hannemann’s most recent mailer has backfired. In it, Hannemann says that he would make a better governor because – among other things – he went to Harvard instead of going to UH Mānoa, like his primary opponent, Neil Abercrombie, did.

But better how, exactly?

That ’s what people like ASUH president A ndrew Itsuno would like to know.

“You’re hiring the person, you’re not hiring their background,” said Itsuno when asked about Hannemann’s comparison.

Itsuno said he didn’t think Hannemann’s dig at the state’s fl agship public university sent a very good message to UH students.

“In Hawai‘i, to say some thing like that, to a lot of peo ple who rely on the Universit y of Hawai‘ to go through college, it doesn’t send out a ver y positive message,” he said. “I think it ref lects on Hannemann, that he would say something like that. I don’t think it ’s the mes sage he wants to send out to a lot of his constituents.”

This could be a growing problem for the Hannemann campaign, especially considering that UH Mānoa is expect-

“In Hawai‘i, to say something like that, to a lot of people who rely on the University of Hawai‘i to go through college, it doesn’t send out a very positive message.”

– Andrew Itsuno, ASUH President ing almost 20,170 students to return this week for fall classes less than a month away from his Sept. 18 primary election.

A nd behind every student, there’s usually a parent or two sending their kids through college here for their own reasons.

“I probably would spend more going elsewhere, but this is a

little bit cheaper because there’s no outside expense such as travel.” This, from Manu Kawahiki, a 55 -year-old Hilo mother who helped her son Kekoa move into the dorms last week during the Mānoa Move-in.

Kekoa was born and raised on O‘ahu, but moved to Hilo with his mother seven years ago. He

had the choice to go to either UH Hilo or UH Mānoa, but Kekoa decided to come here to major in Hawaiian Language.

“So far I still have faith (in the school), but he’s the one that chose it,” said Kawahiki.

The decision didn’t come See Hannemann, page 33

FROM THE C A N DIDA T E S We asked both the Hannemann and Abercrombie campaigns to respond to the educational comparison between the two candidates made in the Hannemann mailer.

33 Hanneman from page 32

“The campaign mail out was absolutely not intended to disparage University of Hawai‘i students, faculty, staff and alumni,” said Hannemann campaign spokeswoman Carolyn Tanaka in an e-mail statement. “Mufi Hannemann has been a major supporter of the University of Hawai‘i. He knows that as the state’s only public institution of higher education, UH is critical to the education of Hawai‘i’s people, is the center for research and innovation as well as professional development.”

“Neil Abercrombie traveled 5,000 miles from his hometown to become a teaching assistant at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa,” said Abercrombie campaign spokeswoman Laurie Au in an e-mail statement. “He received his master’s degree and Ph.D. from UH and is proud to call himself an alumnus. In the state Legislature and the U.S. Congress, Neil championed numerous pieces of legislation in support of the university and students. Neil has dedicated his entire adult life to education, and UH holds a special place in his heart. Neil Abercrombie believes in our UH students, faculty and staff, and has a plan to ensure that everyone with the desire has the ability to get a world-class college education right here in Hawai‘i.”

cheap – Kawahiki said she is spending $20,000 a year to send Kekoa to UH Mānoa.

But after spending that much money, Kawahiki said that seeing Hannemann make that kind of comparison – saying that UH Mānoa isn’t good enough – seemed unfair.

“He’s not saying too much for the University of Hawai‘i yet he chose to be the politician for the state of Hawai‘i,” said Kawahiki.

Staying fit at UH Mānoa A LEX ANDR A AGUIRRE Staff Reporter Becoming a body builder, playing in weeklong sport tournaments, or hiking Waialua Ridge daily may not be what every student wants to do to stay in shape.

The priority of being fit and exercising is different for every person, but as college students, it’s important to know what’s available at the University of Hawai‘i - Mānoa and decide what works best for you.

FITNESS CENTER Lifting weights can help to relieve stress, release energy, bulk up or train. The Student Fitness Center provides equipment such

as benches, free weights, elliptical machines and bikes.

“I love the workout machines at the gym because they are easy and quick to use and they usually work out more than one muscle so you get a compound workout,” junior business manager Andrew Morachel said.

The center is located on the ground floor of the Stan Sheriff Center.

“I like that it is close by,” Moranchel said, “As a college student, sometimes you don’t have all the time in the world to go to a gym that’s off campus especially if you just want a quick stress– reliever session before a test, or something like that.”

For admission into the fitness center, students must have a validated student ID. Students must also

bring a towel (12”x16” minimum), wear covered shoes, and cannot sport sleeveless shirts, hats or visors.

“The thing I like most about the training room is how compact it is,” said senior Kanani Pu’u-

35 Warren, who is majoring in Medical Technology. “I like that everything I need is in one place.”

RUSSELL TOLENTINO Sports Editor August must be a fun time for Rainbow Wahine volleyball head coach Dave Shoji.

Not only does the month mark the beginning of a new season, but it also means he gets another shot at the program’s fifth national title – and first since 1987.

And after last season’s NCA A Final Four appearance, you can bet he’s been itching to go, although a repeat of last year’s success wont be easy.

All-American outside hitter Aneli Cubi-Otineru, middle blocker Amber Kaufman, and defensive specialists Jayme Lee and Stephanie Brandt fi nished their eligibility last season while junior outside hitter Stephanie Ferrell transferred to Florida.

The fi ve accounted for 53 percent of the team’s kills, 74 percent of the service aces, 40 percent of the digs, and the seniors provided leadership on and off the court.

Staying fit from page 35

The center also allows students to check out athletic equipment (like tennis rackets and basketballs) and has information on times when students can use the UH tennis courts, track and pool.

“I enjoy the variety of sports and activities that intramurals offers,” Pu’u-Warren said. “I don’t know where else I could go to participate in fl ag football or four-on-four volleyball.”

Besides exercise, intramurals also gives students a chance to make new friends.

“With the intramural center, students are able to get the team atmosphere that they might otherwise miss out on while at college,” athletic department trainer Kenny Esquivel said.

“You can go and join in on a

team and play with people who have the same interests as you,” Moranchel said, “and it doesn’t really matter if you’re good or not because everyone is there to work out and have fun.”

Brochures with all events and services are located on the second fl oor of the athletic complex.

LEISURE CENTER The Leisure Center, which is located in Room 101 of Hemenway Hall, provides outdoor and indoor recreation.

Students with a valid UHM ID and a MasterCard or Visa Card (for deposit) can rent out equipment such as surfboards, hiking gear and tents. Arts and crafts activities are offered, as well as lessons in guitar.

Warren, Moranchel and Esquivel said that they wished the Leisure Center was better known.

“Most people don’t know that the cost for rentals is usually under $40,” Moranchel said.

T he list of activities, class es and equipment is listed on their website.

D O E S E X E RC I S E F I T I N T O YO U R L I F E? Although working out may not seem vital to survive college, physical condition could affect the quality of your experience there.

“The Freshman 15 is real,” stated Pu’u-Warren. “It is very important that students use the resources that the school is providing and to try and stay fit during the school year.”

“Relatively speaking UH has a small student body that resides on campus,” Esquivel said. “More innovative ways are going to have

to be made in order to reach the students who live off campus.”

But even the simplest things, like walking or biking to and from classes can keep the blood moving for UH students whether they live on or off campus.

Pu’u-Warren said it comes down to the student’s choice.

“Everyone has the time to stay fit whether they are a part-time student with a full-time job or a fulltime student taking a lot of credits,” she said. “If you care about yourself, you will make time to take a 20-minute walk, make a trip to the weight room, or take a night to participate in the intramural tournament.”

Moranchel suggested that students look at their schedules and make time to be active.

“Mark down what things you have to do and differentiate them from what you like to do on each day,” he said. “You are able to see all the things laid out and are better

able to take care of your priorities.”

“Make it a priority to partake in some sort of physical activity and make time for your activity just like anything else in your day,” Esquivel said. “Personal satisfaction needs to rank just as high as all of the activities you need to do for school.”

Smith persevered to success K IYOMI UEDA Staff Reporter If at fi rst you don’t succeed, try and try again.

That’s exactly what Spencer Smith did in the early years of his football career.

KEEP ON TRYING Smith, a senior safety on the Warrior football team, began playing football when he was in the sixth grade – although he didn’t see the field very often.

“I never got to play my fi rst year in football,” he said. “I rode the bench except for the certain amount of plays that every kid had to play.”

After that fi rst year, Smith switched from football to basketball, where he started every game.

Despite his newfound success in basketball, Smith said he was still bothered by the fact that he hadn’t started in football, so he gave it another shot when he reached eighth grade.

“The same thing happened,” he said. “I never got to play again, I would take a knee somewhere on the sideline and wouldn’t move the entire game unless we were up by at least 30 points.

“I almost quit.”

However, Smith didn’t give up and instead, began working out when high school started. His perseverance paid off and he started for the varsity team in his freshman year at Carlton J. Kell High School in Marietta, Ga.

HARD WORK PAID OFF During his four years in high school, Smith participated in both football and wrestling. He was named the Cobb County Defensive Back of the Year, as well as his team’s most valuable player.

“Going into my senior year in high school I knew I had to make a splash in recruiters’ eyes so I could continue playing football,” Smith said.

He graduated from high school in 2006 and joined the Warriors as a redshirt freshman in the fall.

JOEL KUTAKA/KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Senior safety Spencer Smith recorded 52 solo tackles last year for the Warriors. He was named to the all-WAC Academic team the last two seasons and graduated last semester with a degree in sociology. He is currently taking graduate school classes for a master’s degree in special education.

“I came to UH because I fell in love with Hawai‘i on my recruiting trip. The people, coaches and players made me feel comfortable,” Smith said.

“Plus, why not experience a real college experience, I got to move away from home and had to make it on my own. I knew that it would only make me stronger after I was done with college.”

Smith’s best friend, Jon Dwyer described him as, “a warrior and the biggest competitor you will ever meet. He wants to win, period.”

The two have known each other for the last 10 years. Dwyer, a running back from Georgia Tech, will begin his rookie

season in the NFL with the Pittsburgh Steelers this year.

“Spencer is the biggest prankster you will ever meet,” Dwyer said. “He is one of the best guys I have ever met.”

Smith’s performance for the Warriors has improved every year.

Last season, he started every game and recorded 52 solo tackles. He had three games with 10 or more tackles and his career high (12) came against Idaho.

Smith is joined at safety by senior Mana Silva, who was also a starter last season.

“They’re veterans, they’re proven and they’ve played in big games before,” said associate head

coach Rich Miano, on his secondary. “We only expect them to get better; they’ve got to work hard and they’ve got to make plays.”

Smith, a senior leader on this year’s team, hopes the Warriors will rebound from last season’s 6 -7 record.

“I’m looking forward to playing with my brothers on the team and surprising a lot of people who have already counted us out of WAC (Western Athletic Conference) contention,” Smith said. “We have a good team, but it’s an unknown team.”

the classroom, earning all-WAC academic honors his sophomore and junior seasons. As a fi fth-year senior, Smith has already graduated with a bachelor’s degree in sociology.

This fall he plans to take graduate classes in order to earn a master’s degree in special education.

After this season, Smith will try out for the NFL, but if that doesn’t work out, he wants to become a teacher and a coach at his high school.

Dwyer believes Smith can make it to the next level.

“He is a hard worker and one of the smartest players. He is always watching fi lm and studying his opTHE FUTURE In addition to his performance ponents,” Dwyer said. “He plays on the field, Smith works hard in with a passion; he is a leader.”
