Four Loko critics bring alcohol safety to forefront LYNN NAK AGAWA News Editor The caffeinated alcoholic beverage Four Loko has gained notoriety and popularity among college students and is reportedly equivalent to four or more beers in a single can. According to Teresa Rawlings of Brief Alcohol Screening & Intervention for College Students (BASICS), it is the combination of alcohol and caffeine that presents the danger. “We looked at a study of alcohol and caffeine that showed that students are twice as likely to get alcohol poisoning and engage in other risky behaviors because of the combination,” she said. Students who consume drinks like Four Loko in a ﬁ ve-minute period, or similar short time frame, are likely to experience higher blood alcohol content and “be at much higher risk for alcohol blackout,” she said. The drink has been termed “blackout in a can” but some students feel it’s about moderation. “It wasn’t that bad,” said Naquan Gavin, a 21-year-old UH Mānoa student. “All these stories you’re hearing come from people trying to drink three or four. (The drink tastes) disgusting, actually.” Another 21-year-old, who wished to remain anonymous,

agreed that the taste was “really bad. It was horrible.” He fi nished the drink in the time frame of an hour and “felt really jittery and couldn’t sleep.” “I didn’t really get sick but I didn’t feel well,” he said. However, mixing the drink with other alcohol and engaging in risky behavior such as attempting to fi nish the drink in a short period of time puts students at risk for alcohol poisoning, blackout, and other negative effects of alcohol. Capt. Dawson of the UH Mānoa campus security said, “I think that Four Loko was involved in at least two (of the sex assault cases this year) but that can’t be confi rmed.” This month, a student living in Hale Wainani reported that a man she initially met on the internet had sexually assaulted her in her residence hall room. The suspect was identified and is not believed to be a UH Mānoa student. On Oct. 24, a Hale Noelani resident reported that she was sexually assaulted in her dorm room. The assailant was someone she knew. The case was dropped when the victim declined to cooperate with police. In September, a resident of Frear Hall reported that an intoxicated acquaintance forced his way into her room and fondled her against her will. He was arrested shortly after.

In August, an employee was walking to her car late at night from lower campus and was followed by two males who forced her back to her ofﬁce and assaulted her. “If there’s any message — it’s drink responsibly. Don’t drink too much that you can’t take care of yourself, get behind a wheel, or end up having to be taken to the hospital,” said Dawson. Rawlings said the program works with students who have broken student-housing policies regarding alcohol consumption or students who are self-referred to the program. BASICS is located at the Queen Lili‘uokalani Center for Student Services. The program offers two sessions. The ﬁ rst is a one-on-one session with an ADEP (Alcohol & Other Drug Education Program) counselor to assess the person’s drinking pattern. In the second session, the student receives personalized feedback on their drinking and/or drug habits and how it compares to other University of Hawai‘i students. The ADEP counselor will assist the student in setting goals to reduce the risk of developing future problems and maintain low-risk habits.

Breaking through the night DANNY R HEY ACIDER A Staff Writer

Stop breaking stuff. This includes pushing, kicking, punching, and hitting things with other things. The most recently damaged item I found was right outside of the Gateway Cafeteria on Saturday. A cigarette ashtray made of rock, around 3 to 4 feet in height, lay in pieces on the ground next to the benches. A couple of weeks ago, a UH dorm student broke the glass window at Hale Aloha Cafeteria. Some students think it’s cool to knock over magazine stands along the Dole Street sidewalk. Magazine and newspaper stands that are supposed to provide us with dry and clean material to read are now covered in grafﬁti. I remember it clearly: while walking down Dole Street with a group of friends, two students who were drunk kicked a magazine stand onto the sidewalk. After ob-

serving the dents in the stand and the bulk of magazines scattered on the sidewalk and road, the two laughed and walked away. There are many other things you could do on a weekend night. I hear Black Ops is a fun game. Making paper airplanes, baking cookies and even homework are good choices. My hope in these suggestions is that students will treat UH facilities with a little more respect. But if it is anger that leads

you to breaking things, then take something calming, like yoga or tai chi. Video games that involve explosions may also help with your need to break things. I’m going to keep it real, though. Society has taught college students that they are supposed to have the times of their lives before they enter the real world. Try not to mess with the belongings and property of others when having your fun.

nightlife night lifeguide guide Fun for the under-21 L AUREN WATANABE Contributing Writer Amid Honolulu’s myriad 21-and-over nightclubs and bars, it can be difficult for those under the age of 21 to find fun, legal things to do late at night. Aside from teenybopper dance clubs, options for under-21s seem sparse. However, after a quest to seek out some of O‘ahu’s alternative venues, you can be sure that what this town lacks in quantity, it makes up for in quality. Whether it a boisterous, upbeat party or a cool, tranquil relaxer, there is something for everybody to enjoy, even for those under the drinking age.

For those interested in a night ﬁ lled with fun and games, bowling may be just the activity you have been looking for. Set back on the third ﬂ oor of ‘Aiea Shopping Center on ‘Aiea Heights Road sits one of ‘Oahu’s few remaining bowling alleys. With a subdue store sign and modest entrance, this place may seem like your typical, smelly, run-down bowling alley. But, don’t let their exterior fool you, ‘Aiea Bowl is home to some ballin’ nightlife. Open from 9am to 2 a.m., with the exception of Wednesdays when the alley closes an hour earlier, ‘Aiea Bowl is a great place for some friendly competition amongst fellow schoolmates any day of the week. With fully equipped, state of the art bowling facilities, ‘Aiea Bowl is designed to accommodate large parties and even a live DJ to keep games rolling. If the lure of a full-blown bowling party does not convince you to head out, then their prices will. Open bowling prices range from $3.50 to $4.50

per game depending on holidays and primetime weekend spots, and cosmic bowling prices are set at a standing price of $25 per lane per hour. Keeping in mind the tight budget of most college students, ‘Aiea Bowl offers weekly specials that ease the twinge of ﬁ nancial pain that accompanies spending a night out of the dorms. Offers include the “Playground,” ‘Aiea Bowl’s standing Monday night special where everyone 18 and older with a valid college ID can bowl for free from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. This special includes cosmic bowling, food, drinks, and guest DJ’s to keep the night fueled. A nother special, “Her Way Thursdays”, invites all ladies 18 and over to free bowling. Hosted by Pink Pineapple Entertainment, “Her Way Thursdays” includes pupu and drink specials, prize giveaways, and live DJ, Brandon L ee. Since all this bowling is bound to work up a mean appetite, ‘Aiea Bowl boasts The Alley, a down-

home kitchen with an upscale twist. Late night chow specials that will keep you on top of your game include Garlic Fries, Fried Calamari, Boneless Kalbi, and The Alley’s famous Oxtail Soup. A nice departure from your ordinary nightclub, ‘Aiea Bowl is perfect for your group of friends to get up, ditch the schoolwork, and let out some steam in a place where balls are guaranteed to roll.

S E N O R F RO G S Still looking for late night fun but not interested in the drive out to ‘Aiea? Then look no further than the bustling streets Waikīkī where you can hop on in to the notoriously chaotic, Senor Frog’s. Located in the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center on Kalākaua Ave., Senor Frog’s is a place where if you walk by too quickly, you may miss its setback entrance.

With dining tables surrounded by blaring televisions, a plethora of arcade games, and never-ending conga lines, Senor Frog’s is the perfect place to forget your troubles for the night, toss on a sombrero, and have a wild time.

But if your school and work schedule has you drained and you prefer a more calm, tranquil late night retreat, the following places are sure to soothe your weekly aches and pains from the inside out. You would not guess it, but The Honolulu Club, where executives and business offi cials prefer to sweat off the workday, is home to some of Hawaii’s best live jazz. Mondays through Fridays from 5:00pm to 9:00pm, this gym opens its doors for the public for an opportunity to kick back, relax, and experience live jazz in a chic, trendy setting. As a bonus, The Honolulu Club, situated on Ward Avenue, offers free valet parking for those attending the $5 jazz sessions. The bar and lounge’s dim lighting and undulating jazz, transports listeners to Georgetown’s infamous jazz clubs without the steep price of a plane ticket. This lowkey setting also makes The Honolulu Club fi ne for fl ying solo or for bringing a close group of friends. “Jazz Wednesdays” are especially popular, when both local and visiting jazz musicians serenade crowds to tunes such as “Fly Me to the Moon” and “Moondance”. And if in need of something to tantalize your taste buds as much as the jazz tunes stimulate your ears, The Honolulu Club’s Chef Joey Julian serves up mouth-watering small plates that will keep you happily munching along with the music.

Just a few blocks from the beach and Kapiolani Park, the “Health Bar” is friendly to those fresh from the water or from a run. On every night excluding Mondays, Fridays, and Saturdays, the Health Bar is open from 10am to 12am to what are called, “‘Awa Nights”. On ‘Awa Nights, the Health Bar transforms from its bright, tropical layout and dims its lights to serve ‘awa to a crowd that ranges from local businessmen to the average surfer. ‘Awa, the Hawaiian word for Kava, is the squeezed pulp of the kalo root which is added to water to create a unique drink native to the Polynesians. Those who consume the Health Bar’s ‘awa’s can experience its relaxing effect and slight numbing sensation of the mouth. ‘Awa is also said to be a powerful healing drink that boosts the immune system and combats free radicals. ‘Awa Nights also include rotating local musicians including

So even if you’re not quite 21, that does not mean your nights have to boring. As you can see, there are a variety of under-21 options to suit any taste at any time of the night.

The Cask Room of Brasserie Du Vin is used for wine tasting events and private parties. WILL CARON Editor in Chief For college students in search of a classy way to spend the evening that won’t break the bank, the Brasserie Du Vin offers wine tasting at an affordable price. A “brasserie” is a relaxed, French-style, often open-air restaurant that serves a limited menu (sometimes a single dish of the day), as well as smaller side dishes. The word also loose-

ly translates to “brewery” and brasseries usually serve a widerange of alcoholic beverages, especially wines. Though there are some differences between Du Vin and the southern French brasseries on which it is modeled, the relaxed atmosphere, beautiful setting and delicious food will make it hard to tell the difference between a Hawaiian evening and a late, French afternoon spent enjoying good wine. The wine tasting takes place

and moule-frites (mussels in a creme sauce with french fries). The wine vendors that conduct the wine tasting are knowledgeable and generally very helpful at explaining which of their wines pair well with various foods, so feel free to ask questions. Expect to spend approximately three hours at Du Vin for the wine tasting. Afterwards, you can enjoy the full bar offered in the main restaurant or “Salon,” or enjoy the other bars and restaurants located in the downtown area. Besides the “Tasting Tuesdays,” Du Vin also features “Sessions @ Du Vin” every Wednesday night, See Wine tasting, page 12

Serving up sweet love ROBERT C HOY Staff Writer

If, after catching a movie, or having a romantic stroll on the beaches of Waikīkī with your date, you find that the two of you are struck with hunger pangs, then the following venues for dessert should help wind down your day and fill your stomachs with more than just butterfl ies.

S H O KU K U D O JA PA N E S E R E S TAU R A N T & BA R Address: 1585 Kapi‘olani Blvd. Hours: Monday-Thursday, Sunday 11:30 a.m. - 1 a.m.; Friday-Saturday 11:30 a.m. - 2 a.m. Shokudo, conveniently located near Ala Moana Center, is most famous for its honey toast. This mammoth tower of cubed Japanese white toast is drizzled with honey and topped with vanilla ice cream. This dish be-

gins at $7.45, but other variations like chocolate, caramel and strawberry, are available for a nominal fee. If you’re looking for something lighter, they also serve shaved ice in various ﬂ avors like grape, mel-

on, lychee and green tea. You receive a large bowl with a mountain of shaved ice and one scoop each of azuki beans and vanilla ice cream. No matter what you choose, you will be waited on by attentive staff and served in a trendy, though potentially noisy, environment.

J J F R E N C H PA S T RY Address: 3447 Wai‘alae Ave. Hours: Monday-Thursday, 9 a.m. - 9 p.m.; Friday-Saturday, 9 a.m. - 9:30 p.m.; Sunday, 12:00 p.m. 8:00 p.m. In Kaimukī, not far from the UH campus, there is a small restaurant just past Sacred Hearts Academy. Though they serve dinner, they are renowned for their award-winning desserts. In the display case are various desserts, many of them featuring distinctive geometric shapes, for under $5. A musttry is their chocolate-raspberry pyramid,

The décor is an eclectic mix of French and Asian inspired elements, with a large Eiffel Tower outline over an archway and paper lanterns dotting the restaurant.

BIG CITY DINER Address: 3569 Wai‘alae Ave. Hours: Monday-Thursday and Sunday, 7 a.m. - 10 p.m.; FridaySaturday 7 a.m. - 12 a.m.

Just down the road from JJ French Pastry is Big City Diner. Although cheap eats with generous portions usually comes to mind when one thinks of this restaurant, they also have a surprisingly good dessert selection. Their “Big O Sundae” (priced at $7.99) is a colossal dish consisting of three scoops of vanilla ice cream from Bubbies, Oreo cookies,

whipped cream, macadamia nuts, chocolate chips, and vanilla and chocolate sauce. Big enough to feed an army of starving college students, you’d be lucky if the two of you could ﬁnish the whole thing without having to be taken home in a wheelbarrow. A more calorie-friendly option is their fresh island fruit sorbet, starting at $3.99 and going up to $6.99 if you want a papaya to go with it.

Fresh Cafe hosts a wide variety of bands, festivals and b-boys jams. NOELANI A NDERSON Contributing Writer Open from 7 a.m. through 1 a.m. daily, Fresh Café is jamming from morning to night. Located off Ward Avenue at 831 Queen Street, Fresh Café is unique to Honolulu’s late night scene in a number of ways, including the diversity of its events and the type of crowd it draws. Tuesday nights have jazz sessions with no cover, and ﬁrst Thursdays feature slam poetry competitions. Hip-hop evenings, DJ’s from far and near and local b-boy jams are regularly scheduled. Fresh Café’s daytime happenings are equally interesting: donation yoga, t-shirt stenciling workshops, a pop-up boutique and a monthly farmers market featuring local products. Fresh is the type of place that has something for everyone and is

particularly suitable to the university student. Students on a budget or for those who have regular cravings for vegan treats and espresso. Among its other amenities, Fresh Café also offers free wireless until past midnight. They also serve fresh, wholesome food like homemade penne pasta, and have a baked goods case full of yummy treats, including vegan options. Last weekend, Fresh Café was the base for the 7th annual Girl Fest Hawai‘i, a festival of activities that seeks to prevent violence to women through education and art. By day, Fresh hosted the art, spoken word and comedy workshops. After sundown, it transitioned to a poetry spit ‘n’ spin party as well as a closing night celebration of Girl Fest. The closing celebration featured bands, comedians and KTUH DJs. Girl Fest is just one of the organizations Fresh collaborates with to

Three seconds to conceal your party

2 DAVIN AOYAGI Managing Editor

1S T S E C O N D During the fi rst second, the owner of the dorm room should begin hiding the other partygoers. If the number of partygoers exceeds fi ve persons, the owner of the dorm room should cry, as the situation is unsalvageable. If there are fewer than fi ve people present, the owner of the room should encourage them to hide around the room. Typically, hiding under the bed or in a closet are good strategies for avoiding R A detection. If these options are not available, encourage your guests to hide under the bed sheets or hide under a stack of school supplies. While this is occurring, make sure you do not turn off your loud party music, as the music is vital towards masking the screams of people desperately trying to hide.

3RD SECOND Shut off your loud music. This is now recommended because you will need to utilize your eloquent and unmatched speaking abilities, and music may hinder such skills. Glance in a mirror before opening the door to make sure you’re fully clothed and that your eyes are not bloodshot. If they are bloodshot, speak with your eyes closed. Pretend that you just woke up after a long nap, and that the only way you can sleep is by playing loud music.

2ND SECOND During the next second, the owner of the dorm room should be hiding illicit items. This includes but is not limited to: air conditioners, pets, marijuana and alcohol. If the owner is engaged in fornication, he or she should immediately cease in the act and begin to get dressed. Being shirtless is acceptable and can sometimes aid in your escape from consequence.

DAVIN AOYAGI Managing Editor Sometimes, it’s the things that are missing that count the most. From the outside, the Movie Museum, tucked away behind the rear entrance of a

humble white brick building on Kaimukī’s Harding Avenue, appears to lack the glamour of the more ostentatious theater chains. There are no neon signs, no tiki torches, no grand mezzanines to be seen beyond the entrance. This comparison is not the aim of

Dwight Damon, owner of the Movie Museum. Instead, his purpose is to, “promote quality ﬁ lms in a theatrical setting which makes the ﬁ lm experience more enjoyable for the viewer.” When asked about other theatres such as Ward and Kahala, he said, “I’m not in competition… [Movie Museum

is] a supplement, an addition to the fi lm exhibition in Hawai‘i.” Despite the unifying approach towards movies, it’s hard not to compare the Movie Museum to other theaters. Gone are the ubiquitous movie theater snack bars – Movie Museum patrons instead have the option of bringing their own food and beverages. This includes drinks of the adult variety, an advantage that won’t be lost on those from the college demographic. But don’t think that drinking beer with your movie means you have free rein to be rowdy – a conversation at the front of the lobby can often be heard by those trying to watch the fi lm, a fact I became aware of when I tried to interview regulars outside of the viewing area, who quickly shushed me into compliance. Another thing to keep in mind is that the Movie Museum requires reservations. Seats are usually unavailable on a walk-in basis, so those who want to pay the theater a visit may want to plan accordingly. The seats, however, are large and leather-covered, a stark contrast to the cheap fabric of movie theater seats. While the film selection at the Movie Museum is limited to second runs, this gives patrons a chance to experience films they may have missed in the multiplexes in an atmosphere that is more than accommodating. For theater-goers who can overlook – and appreciate – its shortcomings, this secret Kaimuki film spot offers a unique and pleasant experience with a sophistication that belies its exterior – an experience that is definitely worth the $5 discounted price of admission.

TA N TA L U S As soon as you head up Tantalus Drive, the smell of ginger ﬁ lls the air and vines droop from trees. Secluded and green, this is a good way to feel like you’ve left the city without actually leaving the city. As you drive to the top of the seemingly never-ending road, there are several scenic viewpoints that are marked by signs. Stop at each one to get a different angle of the sprawling metropolis below you. This is a perfect idea

for a night with a full moon. Plan on being around just a few other parked cars with couples who had the same idea. There have been incidents of crime in the past (beer bottles and cigarette butts litter some of the roadsides) so stay in the car if you plan on being there a while.

K AYA K I N G O F F T H E E A S T SHORE Renting a double kayak will cost about $30 a person, but its well worth the experience. Kayak out to the bird sanctuaries in the small islands outlying the windward coast. The Mokulua islands

off Lanikai offer pockets of crystal blue pools in which two people can ... do whatever it is they want to do in such a place. There’s also a lava tube you can go to, which runs about 30 meters into the island (ask for directions from the kayak rental employees). See birds who quietly eye you as you enter their territory, while hiding away their eggs. The beautiful surroundings paired with accomplishing the physical feat together are ingredients for a bonding day trip. Do not attempt this outing without a guide unless you are in good shape and only attempt this trip in calm weather.

which features live music from various local artists. The show starts at 7 p.m. and has no cover. Street parking is possible, but difﬁ cult. The Chinatown Municipal Parking Garage off of Beretania puts you close by and will only cost you a few dollars for your wine tasting experience.

O U R FAVO R I T E W I N E S 2007 Juan Gil, from Jumilla, Spain: a dry, red wine with slight, fruity hints of berries, ﬁ g and tannins. High alcohol content (15 percent). A balanced

wine that is exceptional with full-bodied cheeses like Manchego. Also works well with the baked brie. Retails from $15-$20 at most wine shops, though in Hawai‘i it may be pricier. 2009 Sofa King Bueno, from Chronic Cellars in Paso Robles, California: a blend of Petite Sirah, Syrah and Tempranillo, this wine has a lot going on including some bold, fruity ﬂ avors and generally works well with the fresh ﬁsh of the day, which has enough body to hold its own with the rambunctious red wine. Retails from $20-$25 on the mainland.

Sports bars easy on your pockets Varsity offers the cheapest drinks. The Varsity also serves burgers, pizza and sandwiches for under $10.

JOE F ERRER Senior Staff Reporter Watching your favorite team at a sports bar where the food is good and the fans are excited is an experience. Luckily for University of Hawai‘i students, there are sports bars close to campus that are fun and inexpensive.

T H E VA R S I T Y The Varsity is a great spot for sports fans that don’t have deep pockets but still want to enjoy the game in a spirited atmosphere. It’s located at Puck’s Alley on University, which is just a ﬁ ve minute walk from campus. You can watch UH football games without heading to Aloha Stadium. Also, fans can watch UFC ﬁ ghts at the Varisity, although you may want to get there early because it pushes the capacity limits and becomes standing room only. It has a full bar with over 60 beers on tap, which will cost about $3 to $5 each depending on specials. On Thirsty Thursdays, the JOEL KUTAKA/ KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Alyse Rutherford watches as Devin Longfellow aims her puck during a late night game of table shuffleboard at The Varsity.

The Varsity Open daily 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. (808) 447-9244

B U F FA L O W I L D W I N G S Need to keep up with your fantasy football team? Buffalo Wild Wings’ 44-inch high-deﬁ nition television screens allow you to watch multiple games at once. It’s located across the street from the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Waikiki. If you have an empty stomach, be sure to grab some grinds while you’re there. They serve burgers, wraps, ribs and onion rings for about $10. And you can’t mention BW W without bringing up their buffalo wings, which you can choose to douse in any of their 14 signature sauces. If you love hot wings, you have to try the Blazin’ Challenge. Contestants are given six minutes to devour 12 wings covered with BW W’s hottest sauce, Blazin’. Not only is the sauce hot, but contestants are not allowed to have drinks or ranch

sauce to numb the pain or wipe the sauce off their lips. If you complete the challenge, you win a free championship Tshirt as well as get your picture on the Blazin’ Challenge slideshow. The record for the fastest time completed was 12 wings in 13 seconds. Good luck beating that one.

G I OVA N N I PA S T R A M I If you have a few extra bucks to spend, head to Waikiki to check out Giovanni Pastrami on L ewers Street. This place costs a little more than The Varsity or BW W, with meals ranging from $15 to $20. According to owner Bob Bach, Giovanni Pastrami has the largest breakfast menu in Waikiki and is served all day. You can get your Loco Moco ﬁ x no matter when your team is playing. There is also free pizza offered during happy hour, which is daily from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. They give a complimentary slice of pizza with any other purchase.

’Bows to battle Bears JOE F ERRER Senior Staff Reporter

Mafua: OVERCOMING ADVERSITY from back cover

with the conﬁdence she was becoming a leader at the same time.” And despite how far she’s come, Mafua’s early struggles keep her humble. “I don’t wanna ever feel like I’ve arrived,” Mafua said. “I have so much room to be better.”

E N D O F A R A I N B OW Ka‘aihue, who is close friends with Mafua, said one thing unique about Mafua is her laugh. “She has the loudest laugh. If we’re ever out and somebody cracks a joke, Dani’s laugh will carry the joke on for another 20 minutes,” Ka‘aihue said with a smile. “Dave’s always like ‘Shh’. He

doesn’t want to get embarrassed.” Tomorrow, Mafua and Ka‘aihue will play their last home game at the Stan Sheriff Center against Idaho at 7 p.m. They will be honored following the match. “I feel like I’ve just graduated from high school,” Mafua said. “I don’t even know where time went.” Mafua said that being a Rainbow Wahine is one-of-a-kind. “There’s nowhere else in the country where you can play in front of more than 6,000 people on a single night and on top of that, them know the game and understand the concept,” Mafua said. She also said playing for UH is a privilege.

“It’s like a platform, being able to put on this jersey and represent not only the school, our family and yourself, but also the state,” Mafua said. “We’re the only (Division I) school in the state. And when we can go out and compete against big-time schools on nationally televised games, that’s a platform for us to (show) what we’re about.” Mafua said this year’s team is the closest it’s ever been in her ﬁve years in the program and she is happy to be an older sister to the younger players, helping them any way she can. “She’s leading by example,” Shoji said. “She comes to practice every day with a good attitude, al-

ways looking to improve herself. “She’s set a really good standard for practice and the young players can see that,” he continued. “That part of her game has always been there and it’s a trait that is desired by our coaching staff. We love those kinds of kids.” And fittingly, her humble advice to her younger teammates comes straight from her own experiences as a freshman: fight for your dreams and be your own person. “Keep battling, keep pushing yourself, hold the next person accountable and be the player that you want to play next to,” Mafua said.

Mafua set her own standard

It’s not easy living up to other people’s expectations. That’s why Dani Mafua eventually set her own.

ʻB I G S H O E S T O F I L Lʼ When she fi rst came to the University of Hawai‘i as a freshman in 2006, it was senior All-American setter Kanoe Kamana‘o’s team. Kamana‘o, who graduated from ‘Iolani, was the local star of the Rainbow Wahine volleyball team, the standard of excellence at her position – and a tough act to follow. “I knew I had some big shoes to fi ll following Kanoe,” Mafua said, “and a lot of expectations.” The 5-foot-10 Mafua, who redshirted her fi rst year, also played behind senior Cayley Thurlby, who was Kamana‘o’s backup. “My redshirt year was a little rough,” Mafua said. “It was so intimidating having two seniors battling it out and me, a redshirt, trying to fit in the reps the coaches wanted me to do.” The tests continued the following season. Although Mafua was the starting setter in the 2007 opener against Michigan State, she struggled in the game and finished the rest of the match – and year – on the bench behind sophomore transfer Stephanie Brandt. “It was very humbling,” Mafua said. Although initially discouraged, Mafua used the adversity as motivation. “I don’t think I would have been as driven to work as hard if (head coach Dave Shoji) kept me in the whole match,” Mafua said. “I used practice time and the offseason to better myself physically, mentally and emotionally. I wasn’t going to let her beat me again.”

H E R OW N VO I C E Mafua won the starting spot her sophomore season but not without being compared by fans to Kamana‘o and Olympian Robyn Ah-Mow, another former localborn setter that played for UH. Senior libero Elizabeth Ka‘aihue said some fans would give Mafua advice on how to improve. At ﬁrst Mafua felt pressured to be just as good as her predecessors, but she eventually realized she was her own player and person. It was the turning point of her career. “At the beginning it was a little overwhelming but I grew into it,” Mafua said. “I’m a different person. I’m here to work as myself, not be someone that was here before. I deﬁ nitely think I’m stronger physi-

cally and mentally from where I started in ‘07 and I grew a lot more thicker skinned.” Ka‘aihue feels Mafua, who is in her third year as a starter, found her own voice. “Robyn and Kanoe were amazing (but) Dani has carried her own,” Ka‘aihue said. In 2008, Mafua set UH to an Elite Eight appearance in the NCA A Tournament and a Final Four last year – the program’s ﬁ rst since 2003. This season, the ’Bows are ranked No. 3 and are aiming for its ﬁ fth national title. She’s won her share of awards too. Mafua was an AVCA Honorable Mention All-American last year and is a two-time all-Western Athletic Conference selection – and will likely earn a third honor this season.

Mafua will also finish in the school’s top ten in assists and assists per set. Not too bad for a player that didn’t set full-time until her senior year at Mid-Pacific Institute and her fi nal year with her club team. Mafua, who is from Kapolei, primarily played outside hitter but following a mainland tournament her junior year, Shoji offered her a scholarship as a setter. Shoji felt Mafua could develop into one because of her touch on the ball and her athleticism. “It took some time but she eventually became a really good setter,” Shoji said. “I’m not sure how she felt about it, but I was confident that she could become similar to the really good local setters that we’ve had.” Mafua was excited to become a ’Bow, but also surprised.

“I wasn’t sure how well I’d ﬁt into this program. I had no idea I was up to the standards of being part of this tradition,” Mafua said. “(But) I took a serious step in being a committed setter, understanding the game through the setter’s eyes.” Shoji said Mafua was dedicated to become a setter that could lead the team to a title. “She’s always been a hardworker,” Shoji said. “It was a process for her because she had to learn the techniques (and) even after learning the techniques she still really wasn’t a setter.” But Mafua learned on the job. “The more she played, the more she got better,” Shoji continued. “She got more conﬁdent and See Mafua, page 7
