Campus foods’ origins

SOURCE: JJ-WALSH/FLICKR 

The Campus Center Food Court is run by Mānoa Dining Services.

ASHLEY ADRIANO CONTRIBUTING WRITER

From the farm to the kitchen to your plate, the food on campus does not travel far.

The mural behind the forks and napkins in the Campus Center food court shows that 30 percent of produce comes from local farms in Hawai‘i. But Donna Ojiri, general manager of SODEXO on campus, said they want to increase that number.

“Currently we purchase about 30 percent local products from Armstrong and Hansen,” Ojiri said. “Our goal is to increase that amount as appropriate.”

Ranging from 11 farms on O‘ahu to

five on Maui, three on Moloka‘i, and 22 on the Big Island. SODEXO works with over 50 farms across the state.

SODEXO, a national company that runs Mānoa Dining Services, works with other local vendors including Meadow Gold, Hansen and HFM Foodservice. Their primary food vendor distributor is Hansen for groceries and meats, and for produce they work with Armstrong Produce.

“Basically we have SODEXO approved products and brands, however being in Hawai‘i there is a lot more variety,” said Lana Hudson, marketing coordinator for Mānoa Dining Services.

However, where our food comes from and how it is grown are not

necessarily related.

“We do not focus on ‘organic produce’ because we would prefer to purchase tomatoes that are grown here in Kunia from Sugarland Farms instead of purchasing ‘organic produce’ from California or Mexico,” Ojiri said.

Companies like Armstrong provide the school with local first produce to help increase the percentage of local products.

The food options on campus also include food trucks. According to Andy Lachman, manager of Food Services, the majority of the trucks partnered with food services are local businesses. Lachman said that trucks are chosen based on

The University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa is focusing on modernizing the campus with new classroom designs.

According to UH spokesperson Dan Meisenzahl, the university has taken a new approach when it

comes to renovating classrooms.

UH Mānoa is redesigning its classrooms to cultivate collaboration and presentation.

“We’re trying to repurpose and consolidate areas to support the priority programs that addressed facilities’ needs through flexible and adaptable space management,”

Meisenzahl said.

According to UH News, the university system is proposing a new $1.2 billion capital improvement strategy, which focuses on modernizing classrooms, offices and laboratories, while addressing its deferred maintenance backlog.

“Under the 6-Year Capital Improve-

their reputation and if they fit into the campus environment.

Other restaurants like Starbucks, Jamba Juice, Ba-Le and Pizza Hut adhere to national standards of food quality and production.

HOW DINING IS MANAGED

The dining system at the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa is split between Mānoa Dining Services and Food Services.

Mānoa Dining Services’ retail locations include the Campus Center food court, Jamba Juice, StirFresh, Starbucks, The Market, Ba-Le and Simply To Go. It runs the residential dining halls Gateway Café and Hale Aloha Café and

ment Projects (CIP) Plan approved by the Board of Regents at its November 17 meeting, as buildings are renovated or replaced, classrooms and laboratories will be redesigned and recreated into quality learning and teaching spaces,” a UH News story reported.

The University of Hawai‘ i is engaged in a new way of thinking by adopting new practices and developing an academic facilities plan and a six-year CIP plan.

Sakamaki Hall at UH Mānoa was the first learning facility to undergo these renovations. The classrooms feature furniture that allows for multiple seating and standing options. The walls of the rooms have been replaced with whiteboards in order to provide ample writing space.

Meisenzahl wants to refocus space by redesigning classrooms.

He added that the university wants students to feel comfortable to participate and communicate.

“First of all [the classrooms are] sustainable, it’s energy efficient, and that it sets an example for students when it comes to energy efficiency. Second of all, is it an open space, where it promotes this 21st century thinking of how education should be,” Meisenzahl said.

Ashley Seidel, a senior majoring in

include the food vendors at the Stan Sheriff Center as part of its operations.

The Food Services side of operations is partnered with Auxiliary Services and includes Paradise Palms and all the food trucks on campus. Auxiliary Services are a part of Campus Services and include Commuter Services, Fleet Services, Mail Services and University Housing.

“All of our food comes from approved food sources that are monitored and audited for food safety. We hold the licenses for Starbucks, Jamba Juice, Ba-Le and Pizza Hut. Those operations follow the national brand standards,” Ojiri said.

English at UH Mānoa, said she has benefitted from the classroom renovations made in Sakamaki Hall.

“I have always been a timid and shy person when it came to participating in my classes, but with these new classrooms, I feel more comfortable voicing my thoughts and opinions, because everyone is contributing to the discussion,” Seidel said.

According to Jan Gouveia, the UH vice president for Administration, the university is striving for a modern campus that demonstrates a new 21st century way of thinking.

“Instead of traditional classrooms lined with rows of single desks, flexible furniture with various seating options can be utilized to encourage small group discussion and dynamic learning configurations,” Gouveia said.

Reed Dasenbrock, former vice chancellor of Academic Affairs at UH Mānoa, believes that these classrooms encourage students to communicate and participate.

“It’s really a different kind of space, in which you are invited to participate, you are invited to be active, and the old classroom has really been turned inside out,” Dasenbrock said.

Tackling marijuana myths BOBDORAN / FLICKR 

The state of Hawai‘ i approved its first two dispensaries in February of this year.

DAVID BUBBINS STAFF WRITER

Last November, seven states legalized marijuana either for recreational use or for medical use. This brings the grand total of states that have legalized marijuana to 26, and at least 14 others have taken steps to legalize it in some way. It seems like legalizing marijuana is becoming more popular, but a Gallup poll shows 40 percent of Americans do not believe it should be legal.

Many have arrived at this opinion without conducting research to back-up their arguments. As a result, many repeated arguments can be debunked through a simple Google search. The following outlines five main arguments against marijuana and why they are wrong.

5. IT IS ILLEGAL FOR A REASON

This is true, but the reason why it is illegal is ridiculous. After the case of Victor Licata, who claims that he was under the influence of marijuana when he murdered his entire family with an ax in 1933, many politicians used his crime to pass the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937. This eventually led to the Controlled Substances Act of 1970, which effec-

tively made marijuana illegal on the federal level.

The issue with this argument is that insanity is not one of the effects of marijuana. Tetrahydro-

effects to the body.

In the early 2010s, researchers discovered that synthetic marijuana was linked to delirium, confusion, agitation and violent behavior. This

Alcohol and prescription painkillers have shown to be worse than marijuana, despite being 100 percent legal . cannabinol (THC), a prominent chemical compound found in marijuana, is known for decreasing reaction time. The 1951 propaganda film “Reefer Madness” claims that marijuana users experience high bursts of energy that lead to high levels of aggression. In reality, the only way a person feeling the effects of THC will ever be aggressive is if someone takes away their munchies.

4. OTHER WAYS TO EXPERIENCE MARIJUANA’S EFFECTS

Synthetic marijuana was conceived as a loophole, a legal way to duplicate THC by creating a brandnew chemical that simulated its effects. The problem is that the effects of the synthetic chemical are over ten times stronger than THC, causing unpredictable health

led to the death of David Mitchell Rozga, who shot himself in the head with a hunting rifle. It was later reported by his friends that he smoked synthetic marijuana about an hour before he committed suicide. Soon afterwards, the Synthetic Drug Abuse Prevention Act of 2012 was passed, effectively banning synthetic marijuana.

3. MARIJUANA IS ADDICTIVE

Marijuana can be addictive and withdrawal symptoms can range from loss of appetite to increased anxiety. Researchers at the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) have also shown that those who are under 21 have a higher chance of becoming addicted, hence laws that have made marijuana legal in some

states have restricted usage to people who are 21 or older.

However, researchers have also shown that marijuana users are more likely to become addicted to other drugs like nicotine and alcohol – those who do get addicted to nicotine are usually chain smokers, who only account for nine percent of adults who use it. If that is the case, then why are alcohol and tobacco legal?

2. MARIJUANA IS A ‘GATEWAY DRUG’

The gateway drug hypothesis states that taking seemingly harmless drugs can lead the user to use other drugs. Gateway drugs do exist, but, according to NIDA, marijuana is not one of them.

Many studies have shown that those who use drugs were addicted to other drugs that are chemically similar. An example of this, in recent years, is the connection between heroin abuse and addiction to prescription painkillers. Many who abuse one abuse the other, as the two are chemically similar.

Marijuana, on the other hand, does not give the user enough of a reason to move to harder drugs, because it is not as addictive as

prescription painkillers and, other than the illegal synthetic marijuana, there are no other drugs that mimic the effects of THC. 1. THOSE WHO WANT TO LEGALIZE MARIJUANA JUST WANT TO SMOKE IT WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS

I am for the legalization of marijuana for recreational use, but I would never use it. It is for the same reason I avoid smoking tobacco or drinking alcohol; I don’t want to put that stuff in my body.

But even though I do not have any desire to use it, I still think others should be able to if they choose.

The reason why over 60 percent of Americans believe that marijuana should be legal is because all the reasons why it should be illegal do not add up. Alcohol and prescription painkillers are shown to be worse than marijuana, despite being 100 percent legal. Because this is a scientific truth, we now have to choose between two options. Either we ban these two drugs as well, or we legalize marijuana on a state and federal level.

ENGLISH AND HISTORY MAJOR GRADUATED SPRING 2016

EDUCATION MAJOR GRADUATED SPRING 2016

WHAT GRADUATION WAS LIKE Because I had concrete plans after graduation, the end of my undergraduate career felt much like the end of a normal spring semester.

Rather than take summer courses or volunteer at a courthouse, however, I spent my Summer 2016 on vacation and taking some time off from work and school. I found that taking this time to recuperate and rejuvenate was essential to my mental health, as I didn’t want to enter law school already burnt out from four years of undergrad that I tackled straight out of high school.

WHAT EXPECTATIONS SHE HAD FOR AFTER GRADUATION I had expected everything to fall into place after graduation. For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to attend law school, so I thought I would suddenly feel fulfilled in all aspects of my life – boy, was I wrong.

Getting into law school and beginning my coursework for it didn’t fulfill me in the way I thought it would — but, to be clear, it has satisfied me in many ways — and I found myself struggling to latch myself to a new long-term goal all throughout my first semester.

WHAT SHE WAS FEELING I was mainly feeling excited for law school, but I also felt an inexplicable sadness and feeling of emptiness. Sadness in the sense that I missed the field of study and atmosphere of undergrad, and emptiness because I knew I would be flung into a whole new environment that I was not familiar with.

ADVICE FOR THE NEWEST CLASS OF GRADUATES The best piece of advice I could give to a new grad would be to focus on the now while simultaneously planning ahead for the future. One of the law professors, Professor Ken Lawson, gave a speech to my entering class during orientation and he told us that in the past he was so “stuck on getting ‘here’,” but “here” never comes. You’re always reaching for a goal and you’re building up all this anticipation for it, all this hype, but ultimately there are many other aspects of life that are important, so when you finally reach that goal, you may not feel as complete or in the same way as you thought you would.

WHAT SHE’S DOING NOW I am currently a first-year law student at the William S. Richardson School of Law. I will be interning at the Hawai‘i Circuit Courthouse in the criminal division this summer, and after I graduate I hope to become a public defender.

WHAT SHE WAS FEELING I felt very blessed from the beginning, to be teaching at my school.

I’ve been able to work with amazing coworkers and administration, who have my back and are always teaching me new things. This job has made me brave and taught me to have confidence in teaching.

WHAT SHE’S DOING NOW Currently, I am a part time elementary PE teacher and I tutor part time as well. My PE job also includes classroom support for teachers, advising junior police officers (jpo) and advising student council.

WHAT EXPECTATIONS SHE HAD FOR AFTER GRADUATION I never expected that I would be working part time so that definitely changed my post-grad expectations.

I thought I would easily find a full time teaching position, but there was a lot more to it. Teaching is definitely one of those professions where people want teachers with experience, but make it difficult for new teachers to get the experience they need. Again, finding a teaching job in the DOE is being in the right place at the right time.

ADVICE FOR THE NEWEST CLASS OF GRADUATES It’ll be very easy to want to relax after graduation and not work for a while and that’s a good thing, but don’t relax for too long. With teaching, any position you can get goes toward your resume, teaching portfolio and overall teaching experience. If you are hoping to get hired at your student teaching school, try to work as a summer school teacher so the principal and vice principal can see you teach on your own. Don’t be afraid to introduce yourself to administration and other teachers because it shows them that you can be taken seriously. Finally, cherish the time with your student teaching class. I was so sad to leave my students. I came back to visit a few times before graduation and even after. Those students left a mark on me and I believe they made me into the teacher I am today. Don’t worry about what others think. Some people may find the perfect fit job before you, but believe me the right job is worth waiting for.

Final group project success without the stress

SOURCE: FREEPIK

RALPH ARISTA SENIOR STAFF WRITER

If you have ever had to work in a group to finish a project, chances are you have run into problems like bad time management, unfair division of work and the typical group member who barely contributes anything and expects the equal credit. Do not fret, follow these simple tips and you will find yourself finishing that project stress-free.

CHOOSE GROUP MEMBERS WISELY

COMMUNICATION IS KEY

SCHEDULE MEETUPS

GOOGLE DRIVE COLLABORATION

If your professor allows you to choose your own group members, do so with caution. Though your first instinct may be to choose your close friends in class, ask yourself if they will be an asset to the group or if they pose as an obstacle. While choosing friends is not a bad idea, you need to take into consideration how that person will function with the group as a whole.

In cases like this, one must find classmates who can produce quality work, have good time management and can work well with others.

Many group projects begin with splitting up the work. But if you don’t speak up, you could be stuck doing research when your skills are a better match for the media side of the project, making a PowerPoint or creating a video to go with the written portion.

At the start of the assignment, be sure to voice what part of the project you would like to be in charge of – do not just sit by and wait for a job to be assigned to you. If a member of your group is left with a job they deem difficult but you find easy, offer them some advice as to how to get it done or ask to switch roles.

Another major problem with group projects is time management. While some group members choose to make the most of the time until the deadline, others tend to wait till the last minute resulting in lower quality work.

To remedy this problem, schedule periodical meetups with the entire group to get an update on everyone’s progress, whether it be in-person or in a video chat. If you are stressing about all the work you have to do to get your part of the project done, take a break with your entire group. If work is not being done, it would be better to take time to relax and tackle the project later.

Google Drive is a system that includes applications for writing documents (Docs), making graphs (Sheets) and crafting presentation (Slides). Unlike the Microsoft suite, Google Drive includes a feature that works well for group projects.

With Drive, as long as a document, graph or slide is shared with all group members through a Google email, all group members can edit the document. All edits are recorded, noting the time of revision as well as who made the edit. This ensures that no member of the group can claim to have contributed their fair share of work without doing it.

TOP 3 TO WATCH

EMILY MAGLIO

01

Middle blocker Emily Maglio has made an impact on the Wahine volleyball team since her freshman year. In her junior year, she was able to achieve a record of 238 kills with a hitting percentage of .400. She consistently led the conference in hitting percentage in the 2016 season and has also accumulated 246 blocks over her three-year career. She has been a key player for the Sand ‘Bows as well, playing on the team for two years on the top three courts. In her senior year and under a new head coach, Maglio is expected to be a team leader in the stats and for her teammates.

KELLSIE GLEASON

02

A forward for the Wahine soccer team and transfer from Auburn University, Kellsie Gleason has shown what she can contribute to the team. Over the course of her high school career, Gleason scored 118 career goals and broke her school’s record by making 44 in her senior year, and she has brought that talent with her to Hawai‘ i. At an imposing six feet, she stands out on the field. In the 2016 season, she made 16 shots with nine of them on goal and played for a total of 564 minutes. Gleason started for four games, but was a contributing player in all 17 games of the season.

DRU BROWN

03

Fresh off a Hawai‘ i Bowl victory, the first bowl game visit since the 2007, the University of Hawai‘ i Rainbow Warrior football team has high hopes coming into the 2017-18 season. Although there is some new talent coming in, there are some returning players slated to steal the show. Quarterback Dru Brown will be returning as a junior. In the 2016 season, he saw action in 13 games, three of which he played the relief before appearing in the final 10 as a starter. He completed 209 of 335 passes and is said to be the starter for next year’s offense. Since the Warriors have been struggling with the quarterback position the past few years before Brown, this may be the boost Hawai‘ i needs on offense.

WHAT TO DO WITH ‘USELESS’ DEGREES

KEVIN HARRISON / NEWS EDITOR

Theatre, English, Psychology and Sociology: We all know someone majoring in one of these so-called “useless” fields, or we are one of these people.

It can be disheartening to be one of these majors and read about the importance of STEM fields and how

everyone should be an engineer or make the next great medical discovery. The humanities and social sciences do not get as much attention as these areas, but these degrees still offer rewarding careers.

ENGLISH

PSYCHOLOGY & SOCIOLOGY

English degrees train students in two important skills: reading and writing. Employers need people with strong writing skills, and this is where that English degree can come in handy.

English, along with humanities and social science majors, statistically score as well on the MCAT as biological science majors, according to the American Association of Medical Colleges.

English majors do well on the LSAT and typically fare well in law school admissions with an 80 percent admission rate, according to the Law School Admissions Council.

Psychology careers depend on whether you earn a BA or a BS. A BS is generally better if you want to pursue an advanced research study in the field. You can still do that with a BA, but the BS is geared toward further studies. This can lead to a research or instructional path, if you can find an institute to work with.

That being said, counseling certifications do not require a doctorate, so you can go that route and be a counselor.

For both Sociology and Psychology, there are also options for careers in human resource management, law, state and federal government, and institutional management. To be successful in these fields, however, would require a graduate degree.

T H E AT R E

TEACHING OPTIONS

Theatre degrees are useful valuable in the creative market. However, pairing that degree with a minor in business or economics allows you to get a job in a theatre or film company on the operational side.

Of course, there is the opportunity to teach and the option of being an acting coach. If you specialize in technical theatre, you could start your own business building sets and props.

This is probably the most obvious choice, but teaching is an important, in-demand job.

Currently, according to the Washington Post, the U.S. is short 60,000 teachers, and that number could go up to 100,000 by next year.

Schools at all levels need intelligent people trained in the humanities and social sciences to give their students the best possible educational experience. A fifth grader needs English, history and art classes, while a college student needs all of this and more.

Breathe in, breathe out Five things to keep you sane

KATIE ALMEIDA / ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

The end of the school year is a stressful time. Juggling finals, summer plans and what to do with your immediate and distant future are on your mind. Having a social life and getting enough sleep is not an option.

The stress keeps building and building. But before you stress too much, try these tips on how to relax.

Breathe

Yoga

Work out

Meditate

Nap

Breathing is something we all need to do, and we take it for granted.

Controlling our breathing can ensure our systems are running properly, which is beneficial to our overall health. Taking a few minutes to breathe deeply and slowly can ensure that your brain is getting enough oxygen, slow your heart rate and calm you down, allowing you to perform at your highest ability.

Practicing yoga has many of the same benefits of controlled breathing, as breathing is a large part of yoga. Yoga has the added benefit of working your muscles and improving balance. Yoga can help you relax and feel energized. There are different types and skill levels, so you will need to find the right fit for you.

If you are a busy-body and hardly slow down, you can still find ways to relax. Working out allows you to clear your mind as your focus is directed to the task at hand. The health benefits of exercise are undeniable. You will be happy when you give your body what it needs.

Meditation is another activity that forces you to focus on your breathing. The key part of meditation allows you to relax your muscles and clear your mind. No more thinking about all that you have been trying to get done, give yourself a few minutes to let it all go.

If all else fails, let your body heal and restore with a nap. Let go of your responsibilities and all that you have to get done for a few hours. Napping can give you a new outlook on a concept you have been struggling to study or fresh eyes to revise that final essay.

TIPS TO NAIL THAT FINAL PRESENTATION KEVIN HARRISON / NEWS EDITOR

Whether you love them or hate them, at some point you have to give a presentation. If you are having anxiety attacks just thinking about presentations, you might want to keep these things in mind.

01 BE INFORMATIVE

Learn how to maximize the benefits of college students’ not-so-secret weapon: caffeine ANGELINA SPENCE / ASSOCIATE OPINIONS EDITOR

The ultimate goal of a presentation is to inform your audience. Do not waste your time or theirs by giving them pointless information.

However, you should still have fun, engaging presentation that is still informative.

02 DO NOT BE DISTRACTING When you are presenting, do not distract your audience with too many animations or pictures on your slides, or the wrong slide background. You may not care if your classmates get distracted, but

FUELING FINALS WEEK

It is finals week and you have two 10-page papers, two exams and a tedious presentation all neatly packed into one hectic week. Admit it, we all procrastinate at some point and are subsequently forced to push out ten pages of literary magic in less than 12 hours.

It is important in these scenarios to maximize our productivity. One

way to do this is by consuming caffeine. Caffeine can reduce feelings of tiredness and promote alertness, but if consumed excessively, caffeine can be addictive and present adverse side effects like migraines and insomnia.

However, caffeine can be an invaluable tool if consumed only when necessary. Finals week is one these times.

SOURCES OF CAFFEINE if your instructor does, then you have a problem. Also, do not fidget, play with your hair or adjust your clothing. Those unnecessary body movements can be distracting as well.

310mg

160mg

03 KEEP IT SHORT AND DO NOT READ ILLUSTRATIONS BY BRYE KOBAYASHI / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

This depends on your instructor. Some want a transcript of your presentation plastered on the slide, others do not. Always check with your instructor about how many words to include per slide, and ensure that your audience can read the text.

If you are going to put dozens or hundreds of words on your slides

and then read off of them, you might as well just give your audience an essay; it would be easier and faster for everyone.

There is a certain amount of security that comes with reading off of the slides, but it makes your presentation boring to sit through.

04 BRING NOTES While you should not read off your slides, there is no shame in having some presentation notes.

Most people do not expect you to have everything memorized.

A tip for presentation notes: copy

and paste your slide text onto a document and under each bullet point, add additional information you want to include. This keeps you organized and helps you avoid reading directly from the slides.

The most common method of consuming caffeine is through a good ol’ cup of joe. Compared to energy drinks, roasted coffee boasts the most amount of caffeine per serving.

A 16 oz. cup of Starbucks Pike Place has 310 mg of caffeine. Meanwhile, energy drinks like Monster and Rockstar contain 160 mg of caffeine. If you drink a cup of coffee, you will maximize your caffeine intake while avoiding the sugar found in energy drinks.

A I6 oz. Monster affords you over 200 percent of the recommended daily intake of sugar. This high

sugar content is what causes you to crash after downing an entire can of Rockstar.

Coffee may be the go-to for caffeine, but it can also vary in nutrition and caffeine. Besides roasted coffee, coffee shops offer a variety of espresso drinks. One ounce of espresso has 64 mg of caffeine, but espresso drinks are usually diluted with milk and sugary flavored syrup.

While espresso is stronger than roasted coffee, espresso drinks contain less caffeine and more calories per serving.

OPTIMIZING CAFFEINE

05 USE GRAPHICS TO YOUR ADVANTAGE People like pictures, so if you can find a graph or an image to better represent the information or point you are trying to make, use it. If you

cannot find one already made, try your best to make one yourself.

06 MAKE EYE CONTACT AND SPEAK CLEARLY Wow, you actually read past the heading. Okay … You do not have to make eye contact with every person in the room, nor do you have to make sure the people in the next building over can hear you. Just look at your instructor and look to the right and left of your audience for two seconds each, rinse and repeat and voilà, you just faked your way through eye contact.

As far as volume is concerned, that depends on the room of your presentation, the size of your audience and your normal speaking voice. A general rule is that the volume of your voice should increase and decrease proportionally to the size of your presentation room and your audience. For example, if you are presenting in a classroom for 50 people, you should be louder than normal.

Part of receiving maximum benefits from caffeine consumption is figuring out what works best for you.

Everyone reacts differently to caffeine. Some people can drink three cups of coffee a day and feel amazing, while others drink one cup and become jittery. If you are especially sensitive to caffeine, opting for a tea or a small espresso drink may work better for you.

Even if you are not sensitive to caffeine, consuming coffee in moderation has been shown to provide cognitive benefits.

In an excerpt of his book “Caf-

feine: A User’s Guide to Getting Optimally Wired,” published online

by Business Insider, Chris Chatham advised a 20-200mg dose of caffeine an hour for improved cognitive functions. Consume half of your grande Pike Place within an hour and you are set.

Habitual consumption of caffeine can lead to a caffeine dependence and withdrawal symptoms if you attempt to stop. To avoid these adverse effects, consume caffeine in moderation and sparingly – your health will thank you and so will your wallet.

Tips for living on the mainland Life is different on the continent NICOLETTE SMITH / STAFF WRITER

If you have lived in Hawai‘ i your whole life like 66 percent of UH students, you may be looking into moving to the mainland to experience life outside the islands. Last semester, I lived on the mainland for an extended period of time. The following are tips I have for those looking to make the move.

Check the weather every morning.

Unlike Hawai‘i, the climate on the mainland can drastically change on a daily basis. Though it was warm on Monday, you might need to bundle up on Tuesday. When it is sunny, it could also be cold outside.

Get to know public transportation.

The mainland has far more ways to get around than Hawai‘i, whether it be by train, subway, or monorail. Although it can be confusing at first, learning to use your area’s public transportation will save you money in the long run.

Do not be afraid to get lost.

While looking up exact directions to your destination is time efficient, lacking knowledge of where you are going enables you to see places you otherwise might not have. Just remember to exercise caution when you are in an unfamiliar neighborhood.

Be wary of strangers.

In Hawai‘i, we count of friendly interactions with unfamiliar people because the islands are so small and filled with the aloha spirit. On the mainland there are a greater number of people and as a result, more people who may have the ill intentions.

Go to public events.

Go to professional sports games, concerts and museums. These are the top three things harder to attend here in Hawai‘i compared to the mainland.

To find upcoming concerts, the Bandsintown app is a great way to keep track of when your favorite artists are playing near you. To save money, museums often have a set time or day for free admission. To get maximum value at sporting events, go to games on the weekdays when tickets tend to be cheaper.

Travel.

It is so much easier and cheaper to travel within the continental U.S. Take a roadtrip over the weekend to a nearby major city or state. If you don’t have a car, use the Amtrak train to travel quickly.

To save money, use the Megabus or similar chartered bus services.

Use Yelp.

Where is the best coffee in town? What do people do here for fun? How far am I from the nearest grocery store? These are questions that Yelp can answer. Yelp is especially helpful for finding hole-in-the-wall eateries that you may not have heard about or underground places where the locals hang out.

Respect other cultures.

Respect other people’s cultures while holding strong to your own. Every place has its unique culture. People consume other tpes of foods, enjoy different hobbies and communicate in other manners depending on where they are from and how they are raised. Be sure to respect other people’s way of living, even if you do not understand or agree. At the same time, avoid believing that you have to conform to the place’s culture in order to fit in. It is possible to find balance in upholding your culture, while respecting the culture of others.

Eat, walk, eat.

There are many food joints on the mainland that are unavailable in the Aloha State. Be sure to try as many places as possible, but remember that in many places on the mainland you cannot always work off the food by hiking or surfing after. A good way to incorporate exercise into the week while also learning about your new home is to walk shorter distances rather than drive or use the metro.

Make the best of it.

While there are states and cities that have vibes similar to those of Hawai‘i, the truth is that Hawai‘i and its people are a unique result of mixing cultures in the islands. If you find yourself sad or experiencing a major culture shock, you can still make the best of your time on the mainland. Find likeminded people and do things you enjoy that you cannot do in Hawai‘ i, and it will make the experience of living away from home far more rewarding, even if it is temporary.

DIY: Money lei

STEP 3)

Using the creases you just made as a guide, fold the bill at the crease. Alternate between folding toward the front of the bill and the back. The bill should look like an accordion when you are finished.

Go all out with lei this year and create them at home ANGELINA SPENCE | ASSOCIATE OPINIONS EDITOR

W H AT Y O U W I L L N E E D

Graduation in Hawai‘i is made a bit more exciting by the local tradition of lei giving. Graduates are stacked with flower lei, yarn lei and candy lei. And almost every graduate will receive a few money lei for good luck.

When you buy a money lei you have to pay for the dollars used in it along with the lei maker for their services. If you are on a budget this graduation, but still want to wish your ohana a prosperous future, consider making your own money lei at home by following Ka Leo’s step-by-step guide.

STEP 4)

• Four to five feet of ribbon • At least 15 dollar bills • Tape • Scissors

Grab the bill in the center and fan out the dollar so that it takes on a circular shape. String the ribbon through the gap between where the edges of the dollar meet. Tape the edges of the dollar together. Repeat on the other side.

STEP 1)

STEP 5)

Fold your bill in half, lengthwise. Repeat this two more times.

Try your best to match up the sides.

After the ribbon has been strung through both gaps, double knot the ribbon to secure the dollar.

STEP 6)

Continue this for the rest of the dollars until you have filled the ribbon. You can space out the bills based on your budget. If you have less money, space the bills out farther. Or, if you are feeling generous, bunch them up closely.

Tie a double knot at the end to finish off your lei.

STEP 2)

Unfold the bill, it should be divided into eight equal parts.

5 things to do before graduate school DAVID BUBBINS | STAFF WRITER

If you are aiming for either a master’s or a doctorate and you have a great GPA, high GRE marks and your recommendation letters are fantastic, that does not guarantee that you will get accepted. Most professors who look for graduate students are only looking for the best; one will have to perform above what is required in order to get accepted. Even if you do get accepted, there are still a few things that one should do before you start your graduate work. These are five things that everyone who is intending to go to graduate school should do.

#5 - TAKE A VACATION

#4 - CONDUCT AN ADDITIONAL RESEARCH PROJECT

#3 - DETERMINE WHERE THE MONEY IS COMING FROM

#2 - APPLY FOR INTERNSHIPS

#1 - MAKE CONNECTIONS

Even though this is not connected to graduate school, this could potentially be your last chance to do this. Before I entered graduate school, I always wanted to go to Los Angeles, and it was one of the few places in the U.S. that I had not been to. After I got accepted to University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, the first thing that I did was set up a vacation to L.A., because I figured that I might never get to do that again.

Since I started graduate school, it has been non-stop work year round.

I have not even had a chance to explore much of Honolulu. So if you want to vacation somewhere, just for a week, go there.

For most majors, one is required to perform what is known as a “capstone project” in order to graduate. If you want to get accepted to graduate school, do another. These research projects can take the form of an independent study, or just simply teaming up with a professor.

Many professors who look at graduate applications are looking for a student who has experience outside of the classroom. Additional research projects give the impression that you have the ability to perform research for a professor that no one else can.

There are many options to pay for graduate school, including assistantships, fellowships, scholarships and student loans. But getting funding is difficult, and options could be limited. That is why one should map out plans B through Z just in case plans A through Y do not come to fruition. The University of Hawai‘i has a listing of all the scholarships one can apply for. When all of these plans fall through, consider applying for a FAFSA.

Remember when I said that professors want to see experience outside the classroom? Internships qualify as experience, and they can be more important than research projects. As a meteorology major, I was surprised by how little the major focused on weather forecasting. It was not until much later that I learned that internships exist as a means to take what one has learned in the classroom and apply that to the outside world.

People who look at applications take this to heart, and if they see good marks on your transcript and how the knowledge you have gained can be applied to the real world, you are more likely to be accepted.

The most important thing that everyone should do is make connections. This could be in the form of an email, or by introducing yourself at a conference. Whatever you do, you need to make sure that professors are familiar with you. That way, when you turn in your application, they are familiar with who you are, which increases your chances of getting accepted into a graduate program.

SPAM JAM 2017

FOR ALL THE SPICED HAM LOVERS OUT THERE

KATIE ALMEIDA ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

The 15th annual Spam Jam was held on April 29 in Waikīkī to celebrate one of Hawai‘i’s favorite foods: SPAM. This an opportunity to try SPAM in a variety of flavor combinations and the event assists non-profits. The Hawai‘ i Foodbank, Waikiki Community Center and the Visitor Aloha Society of Hawai‘i all benefit from donations from SPAM Jam. Shutting down Kalākaua Avenue, restaurants such as Eggs ‘n Things offered food like SPAM lau lau and SPAM mac and cheese bites. Buho Cantina added a Mexican theme to SPAM with SPAM tacos. Wai‘olu offered a beef wellington with SPAM porcini duvelle and SPAM pho.

Noi Thai Cuisine made a special pineapple and SPAM fried rice and SPAM with cashew nuts.

Kona Grill also offered their own version of SPAM fried rice and other unconventional SPAM creations like SPAM egg rolls and SPAM corn dogs.

Besides the food, merchandise was available to advertise your love of SPAM year round. Small mementos like key chains, headphones, dolls and refrigerator magnets were available along with wearable souvenirs like sunglasses, slippers and T-shirts.

Live entertainment was set up on three separate stages. The Outrigger Waikiki Stage in front of the Moana Surfrider Hotel was hosted

by Brother Wade and featured bands such as Maunalua and Henry Kapono and Duke’s Band.

The Shops of Hawai‘ i Stage had emcee Aaron Mikami and provided entertainment like EMKE and Manoa DNA. The final stage, Duke’s Stage in front of the Hyatt Waikiki, featured Billy V as the emcee for several hula halau that performed.

SPAM is more than a food in Hawai‘i, it is a cultural marker that we claim as our own even though other states may seem to look

down on it. Hawai‘i eats more SPAM than any other state – almost seven million cans a year. SPAM was celebrated by thousands of people — roughly 25,000 — in this annual festival.

Jasmine Yi / Ka Leo O Hawai‘ i  Vendors offered samples of SPAM varieties such as portugese sausage and hot and spicy.

 Jasmine Yi / Ka Leo O Hawai‘ i The Outrigger Hotels and Resorts created a canoe replica out of SPAM cans.

COURTESEY OF UH ATHLETICS 

Hannah Zalopany (No. 13) with her teammate Amy Ozee won with a 21-19, 21-13 win over Saint Mary’s during the First Foundation Easter Classic Friday at the Clarence T.C. Ching Complex.

A natural leader Junior Hannah Zalopany zaps the competition KATIE ALMEIDA ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

Hannah Zalopany, called “Zap” by her team, is a junior on the Sand ‘Bows beach volleyball team.

Originally from Kaua‘i, Zalopany moved to Washington when she was 11 and cultivated her volleyball career as an indoor player when she came back to the islands for summer visits.

“I came to the indoor camps at UH for my, for like three summers, I think it was my sophomore year and my junior year and my senior year,” Zap said. “That’s why I chose to come back here, because it was like coming home for me. It was a really easy decision as soon as they offered, I couldn’t help but say yes right on the spot.”

She was recruited for the beach and “thrown in the sand” by former Sand ‘Bows head coach Scott Wong.

“I really only started beach when I got to UH, technically,” Zap said.

“It’s been a long ride, but it’s been very, very fun and I’m always learning something new everyday, which is cool for me. A lot of the girls have played for years now so they have a lot of experience under their belts but I’m kind of just learning still even though it’s my fourth year.”

While this is Zalopany’s fourth

year and she will be graduating, she still has a year left of eligibility.

“I graduate in a couple weeks in my undergrad, I’m doing social work,” Zaps said. “I actually just got word that I was accepted in the master’s program for social work, so I’m going

school and our state and my family and myself.”

As someone who has contributed to the team for so long, Zap lends her wisdom to the younger players.

“I think I naturally kind of fill that roll, but I never like to take that to

Everybody on the team is a leader in some way and in a different way, whether that’s one of our freshmen or one of our seniors, everybody can lead this team in their own unique way.

– HANNAH ZALOPANY UH MĀNOA JUNIOR

to be continuing here. I’m going to play my fifth year next year and I’m going to do my master’s here at UH for social work too.”

Volleyball is one of Zalopany’s passions, and one she plans to keep in her life.

“I love volleyball, I’ll probably continue to play it here and there, but I’m not sure as far as a professional career,” Zap said. “That takes a lot of time and dedication and whatnot and I’m kind of the person that is ready to get my life going. Right now I’m just enjoying the moment, enjoying playing for UH, representing our

an advantage or push any limits with that at all,” Zap said. “I mean, we’re in college, we’re responsible adults here, but I feel like our team has been a really good team this year and it’s been easy for us to create this unified group that we have. Everybody on the team is a leader in some way and in a different way, whether that’s one of our freshmen or one of our seniors, everybody can lead this team in their own unique way.”

During this season, Hannah has had two partners on the fifth court with different personalities and

playing styles. In collegiate beach volleyball, only 10 women on a team of 28 get to compete to contribute o the points needed for the team to win.

“I think it’s definitely bettered my game and it’s been fun being able to play with different people because I love all my teammates,” Zap said.

“Anybody that I’ve played with, it’s just been a lot of fun and it’s helped me get to know them better, things that they like and what I can do to help them succeed as a player also.”

On this court, Hannah and her partners are responsible for scoring one of the first points for the team. The momentum either begins or dies with them.

“Whenever I think about our performance and I think about the obstacles we had to overcome, I just think of our team as being so resilient,” Zap said. “We’ve been pushed down so many times and we’ve had a lot of breakdowns with injuries and whatnot and losses and I feel like everybody’s just bounced back in a very strong way.”

Her partners, Norene Iosia and Amy Ozee, were both freshman.

“Norene and Amy, so that’s also my point there,” Zap said. “They, as freshmen, have shown leadership within their class and they have stepped up and worked really hard

to prove that they can compete at this level and play in our top five flights and they both deserved to play in that position 100%. Everybody deserves to play in that position, but they have particularly put in the time and the work to get to that point. Even though they’re younger, they definitely push me to my limits also in a very positive way for volleyball.”

Big dreams born in the backyard

UH ATHLETICS 

UH baseball held off the University of San Francisco with a 3-2 victory with all bases loaded in the fifth, extending their game lead to two runs.

KRISTEN KUMAKURA STAFF WRITER

It all started in Seattle, Washington, at just four or five years old, playing whiffle ball with his dad. Born and raised in Bainbridge Island, Dylan Vchulek grew his passion for base-

ball in his backyard throwing a ball with his dad. From that point, he went into playing little league and soon it was baseball all day, everyday.

Now a junior at the University of Hawai‘i, Vchulek plays on the baseball team as an outfielder. According to Vchulek, playing for Hawai‘i was a

dream come true. After multiple family trips to O‘ahu and Maui, and hearing many stories from his dad about living in Hawai‘i, Vchulek knew he wanted to be apart of the Hawai‘i experience somehow.

“Well I knew my dad loved Hawai‘i,” Vchulek said. “He lived here a couple years out of high school. He decided to come and visit and then just didn’t leave and he fell in love with the place. . . . So I knew Hawai‘i was a really great option for me, and when they made an offer there was no way I could say no.”

Before being recruited to play for Hawai‘ i, Vchulek played at a junior college, Bellevue College in Washington. His first season at Bellevue College, he led the Northwest Athletic Conference (NWAC) in hitting as a first-team all-conference pick, hitting .395.

“They [Bellevue College] helped me grow up pretty fast and helped me realize the ins and outs of baseball,” Vchulek said. “Now at Hawai‘ i, it’s a dream come true to play at this level.”

Playing for the University of Hawai‘i baseball team was something Vchulek could not give up when the opportunity came around.

However, he gained something more than just a starting position on that team, he gained lifetime friends.

“I’d say we get along like a broth-

erhood, every guy on this team has each other’s back . . . they like each other on and off the field,” Vchulek said. “When it comes to practices and games, we have a great time but we know when to be focused.”

Vchulek said that during their downtime the team heads to the beach. Some players, including Vchulek, are already planning summer trips when the season is over.

Besides hanging out with friends, Vchulek likes to visit his family when he can. His family is his support system and being away from them to play baseball in Hawai‘ i has been difficult. Fortunately, Vchulek has a close family and they come to visit him multiple times during the season to cheer him on.

“One of my favorite things to do is visit family because my family gets along very well and we’re close,” Vchulek said. “I’m very fortunate to have them, they came to visit me three times this baseball season.

They are able to come to my apartment and hang out with me for awhile and we always go out to a good meal and that’s pretty special to me.”

Growing up loving sports, Vchulek hopes to call games one day with his communications degree. The top three sports he hopes to work with in the future are basketball, baseball or football.

“I hope to look into sports radio,

game analyzing, I just love sports in general and want to work in that field,” Vchulek said. “I love watching sports and following the best athletes in the world. I grew up doing that, so something to do with that.”

Vchulek’s big dream is still to play in the Major Leagues. His favorite team is the Seattle Mariners.

“I grew up watching Edgar Martinez and Ken Griffey Jr. I just grew up around baseball pretty much my whole life. That’s the ultimate dream right there,” Vchulek said.
