OUR VOICE

Presidential shock and awe How the political spectrum should respond to the Trump administration Donald J. Trump is following in the footsteps of his predecessors, playing the greatest political threecard monte trick on Americans, and rarely anyone, maybe not even him, is taking notice.

The news cycle over the past week has covered the many angles — and many stories — of the tragedy in Las Vegas. On Wednesday, Oct. 4, 2017, Republican senators, including John Cornyn (R-TX), Ron Johnson (R-WI), and David Perdue (R-GA), announced their potential support for a bill banning bump stocks, which the shooter used to maximize casualties.

While the main media narrative drove in circles around the events in Las Vegas, the Trump administration did a few things with little fanfare.

On Friday, Oct. 6, 2017, Attorney General Jeff Sessions released a memo that announced that any government action would be considered illegal if it “ … compels an act inconsistent with … or substantially pressures the adherent to modify [religious] observance or practice.”

The memo followed the Trump administration’s release of two documents of “final rules,” which instructed the departments involved in enforcing the Affordable Care Act to heavily favor requests for exemptions from individuals citing “religious beliefs or moral convictions.”

Two days earlier, Sessions also issued a memo addressing U.S. attorneys, rolling back former Attorney General Eric Holder’s directive to include gender identity in the definition of gender pertaining to anti-discrimination in public sector employment, thereby reinterpreting the federal government’s enforcement of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Heavy executive action following a news cycle dominated by scandal or disaster is similar to Canadian author Naomi Klein’s theory of disaster capitalism, or “orchestrated raids on the public sphere in the wake of catastrophic events,” which she outlined in her 2007 book “The Shock Doctrine.”

In it, Klein bases disaster capitalism on the philosophy of economist Milton Friedman, who later formatted the tactic for political use, but first outlined it in his 1962 book “Capitalism and Freedom,” where he observed that “only a crisis — actual or perceived — produces real change.”

Some of Klein’s support for the popularity of this tactic discusses the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and the concerted efforts of conservatives and the Bush admin-

istration to reform the Louisiana education system. The phenomenon, however, is not new to the 21st century.

In the aftermath of the Bay of Pigs Invasion in 1961, President John F. Kennedy signed an executive order expanding the House Un-American Activities Committee’s right to inspect excess profits and estate tax returns, and following Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor in late December of 1941, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066, which authorized the internment of Japanese Americans.

While America — and a majority of the mainstream news cycle — is focused elsewhere, the Trump administration is able to advance its agenda, avoiding much of the public discussion and debate that should accompany decisions that impact anyone under the jurisdiction of the American government.

The lesson of the 2016 election should have been that everyone in the United States has a voice.

No matter where anyone lies on the political spectrum, there is an inherent value in a representative democracy that has critical debate and discussion with those voices.

By letting President Trump and misleading media narratives distract from the necessary civil discourse, the public creates an environment that silences itself.

HEAD FAKES ACCOMPANY ACTION

Donald Trump knows the power of media, particularly social media.

A 2016 Pew Research study found that 62 percent of individuals get at least some of their news from social media: 70 percent of Reddit users, 66 percent of Facebook users and 59 percent of Twitter users responded that they get news on that platform.

With that audience of consumers, any narrative that dominates the news cycle, and by extension the news feeds of the majority of social media users, wields incredible influence. Donald Trump knows, from considerable experience during the election season, that a controversial tweet or a comment during a speech is likely to get a large amount of coverage.

Whether intentional or not, the president regularly creates the circumstances that his administration can take advantage of to be unilateral in its decision making and effective in its execution.

The past week was an outlier for certain, as the president was not responsible for the Las Vegas shooting, but the recent example of his speech to supporters of

Alabama senator Luther Strange wherein he discussed football players taking the knee caused the ensuing week’s news cycle to circle around the issue.

In the week that followed, the Trump administration published an executive order on Monday, Sept.

25, five days after it was signed, that announced the imposition of sanctions and a trade embargo on North Korea.

The White House also published a presidential proclamation on Wednesday, Sept. 27, three days after Trump signed, announcing its intention to step up security protocols and look into what “additional information would be needed from each foreign country to assess adequately whether their nationals seeking to enter the United States pose a security or safety threat.”

Another example is an early one: when news broke that Acting Attorney General Sally Yates was dismissed by Trump after refusing to uphold the president’s first travel ban. That, combined with the news of an executive order that would deny sanctuary cities federal funding, dominated the cycle on Monday, Jan. 30, 2017.

In that same week, the White House released executive orders and presidential memos that created expedited processes for environmental reviews on infrastructure projects, reduced regulations for domestic manufacturing and ordered the creation of a plan to defeat ISIS in 30 days.

Slate reported in May that the plan, which had been submitted by Defense Secretary James Mattis in February, still had not been looked at; the Washington Post followed in June with a story about a Pentagon plan similar to former President Barack Obama’s plan; and the Washington Examiner led with a headline on the morning of Saturday, Oct. 7, that read “ISIS is losing badly. Should Trump or Obama get the credit?”

When the Slate article was published, the dominating story was about the president’s displeasure with the House’s American Health Care Act, which had recently been passed. Health care still dominated the public sphere discussion a month later when the Post wrote its report.

Without social media and mainstream media narratives, potential topics for the civil discourse get buried under the more popular headlines.

WHAT TO DO NOW

In Alexis de Tocqueville’s 1835 book “Democracy in America,” he

wrote, “I know of no country in which there is so little independence of mind and real freedom of discussion as in America.”

A 2015 study published in Science — a research journal published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science — found that 20 percent of liberal Facebook users and 18 percent of conservatives have friends with different ideological alignments. Living in these social media bubbles can be dangerous for one’s ability to begin a dialogue.

A study published earlier this year in the Journal of Economic Perspectives found that only 13.8 percent of respondents considered social media to be the most important or trusted source of news. The results indicate that while the majority of people get some of their news on social media, they do not always trust that source. It would seem that, according to data, people are somewhat aware of our echo chambers, but the next step is to do something about it.

In his opening monologue at the Academy Awards earlier this year, Jimmy Kimmel gave some sage advice: “If every one of you took a minute to reach out to one person you disagree with, someone you like, and have a positive, considerate conservation, not as liberals or conservatives, as Americans, if we would all do that, we could make America great again, we really could. It starts with us.”

Tearing down the walls that keep us ideologically secluded requires a desire to do so. Popping our bubbles means developing compassion and understanding for people with different backgrounds and different opinions. Building a community starts with reaching out and engaging.

Jimmy Kimmel is right: it starts with us. We are reaching out to you to engage in the civil discourse. Are you ready to make your impact?

Campus Hunger Hidden in plain sight SURELY A. WALLACE / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

Between 2006 and 2017, the percentage of food secure students increased just one percent, from 55 to 56 percent.

JOANNIE DOBBS, PHD, CNS CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The cost of a college education is increasing. The College Board’s Annual College Survey found that the cost of a college education plus basic on-campus living expenses at public four-year institutions has increased by two to four times since 1976. For many students, this increase imposes a substantial burden that makes it more difficult to meet basic living expenses such as food costs, resulting in food insecurity (FI).

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) ranks food security on four levels: secure, food insecure without hunger, moderate and severe FI (both of which involve hunger).

A person who is food insecure without hunger generally has adequate calories but lacks the essential nutrients needed to function and stay healthy. By contrast, food insecurity with hunger means that a person feels hungry multiple times within a month without the financial resources to buy food.

MĀNOA FOOD SECURITY

In 2006, a University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa survey, which used the USDA food insecurity questionnaire, showed that 21 percent of 408 randomly selected students were food insecure (15 percent without hunger and six percent with hunger). Additionally,

one in four students were also at risk of becoming food insecure.

In 2017, students were contacted via email and asked to complete a survey using the same food security questions and new ones that proposed potential solutions.

Nearly 600 UH Mānoa students completed the survey, and their responses indicated that 44 percent of respondents were food

What is food security? The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) defines food security as having a“consistent, dependable access to enough food for active, healthy living.”

insecure. Although the response to this survey was small and cannot claim to be representative of UH Mānoa as a whole, more than 200 students expressed food insecurity with moderate or severe hunger.

The survey’s data also showed that hungry students suffered more from loss of interest and health issues including ADHD, depression, sadness, loneliness, anxiety and anger.

Health and emotional issues related to hunger can negatively affect a student’s education – including a student’s ability

person’s identity. A 2014 research study published in the British Food Journal found that shame appeared to be the most prominent emotion expressed by food bank receivers.

Van der Horst and co-authors also indicated that “shame can be a very private emotion.” This may be one reason why food insecurity on campuses often goes undetected.

If a person is hungry and does not have adequate financial resources, they are not likely to share their situation with others, especially peers.

How long will it take to solve food insecurity at UH? This is a question that will remain unanswered.

The results of the 2017 Mānoa survey indicate that solving hunger is a complex community issue and will require long-term community solu-

tions. It is also clear that food insecurity is not strictly a Mānoa issue, but is affecting other campuses as well.

UH system President David Lassner and Vice President for Academic Planning & Policy Don Straney recently convened a meeting on food insecurity systemwide to discuss existing programs and best practices.

The new challenge will be to develop creative solutions that are built on win-win partnerships both within, as well as, outside of the UH community.

College hunger in Hawai‘i SURELY A. WALLACE CONTRIBUTING WRITER

When you ask incoming college students to describe what they think their college experience will involve, hunger is not usually part of the conversation.

THE HIDDEN COST OF COLLEGE

It is no secret that living in Hawai‘i is expensive. Basic needs, such as housing, utilities, food and transportation, cost more here than other places in the U.S. According to data from the Council for Community and Economic Research, living expenses in Hawai‘i are 67.1 percent more than the national average.

When you add educational expenses into the mix, running out of money for food becomes a reality for many people.

Campus-wide surveys across the nation, including those at the University of Hawai‘i (2006), the City University of New York (2011) and the University of California system (2016) have consistently demonstrated one thing: of students surveyed, the prevalence of food insecurity with hunger on college campuses is at least 20 percent, or one in every five.

But if food insecurity is such a serious issue, why is there a lack of open discussion?

Stigma and shame may have a lot to do with it. Joannie Dobbs, PhD, the nutritionist who conducted a 2017 UH Mānoa food insecurity survey, indicated that “many food insecure survey responders commented about how they felt they had to make excuses when they could not join their friends for lunch. This also led to an increased loneliness.”

BEYOND STEREOTYPES

Both children and adults who are food insecure feel shame about their hunger. Research articles in the Journal of Nutrition, Journal of Sociology and Journal of Social Science and Medicine discuss stereo-

types that blame individuals for being poor and the subsequent stigmatization of hunger.

The Population Reference Bureau, in a study entitled “American Attitudes About Poverty and the Poor,” reported that about half of the Americans they surveyed believed that a major cause of poverty was a “lack of motivation.”

Social attitudes that trivialize poverty and hunger dismiss the struggles of students who are going to college to work toward a better future for themselves and for their families. Destructive stereotypes focused on overspending or laziness blame students for their hunger without considering the real issues.

UNDERSTANDING STUDENT HUNGER

The City University of New York reported in its 2011 study that students at the greatest risk for food insecurity were low-income, financially independent (living off-campus/not with family), caregivers (supporting children/dependents), over age thirty, are in fair to poor health and/or working more than 20 hours a week. Students with these additional family, work and

FI without hunger students decreased by half, down from 24 to 12 percent.

Three-quarters of food insecure students receive financial aid, with half on Pell Grants and two in five taking out student loans.

Additionally, the Wisconsin HOPE Lab reported in a 2014 study that low-income students who qualify for financial aid are more likely to struggle with poverty, food insecurity and drop out of school due to financial challenges.

The statistics are overwhelming. But if students are working and receiving financial aid, why is there hunger?

The answer is not simple. Possible key factors are the increasing costs of living and education, a student’s non-traditional status and the decreasing purchasing power

financial challenges are called “non-traditional students.”

In 2015, the U.S. Department of Education reported that up to 75 percent of U.S. undergraduates now meet at least one criteria of “non-traditional” status.

Three-quarters of college students work, according to the 2016 study “Hunger on Campus: The Challenge of Food Insecurity for College Students.” Half of financially independent students are at the federal poverty limit.

of financial aid.

For instance, according to a 2013 Congressional Budget Office report, the purchasing power of a Pell Grant was 72 percent of in-state tuition for public institutions nation-

wide in 2012 – barely one-third of its purchasing power in 1980.

BREAKING THE STIGMA AND SHAME

Difficulty in obtaining adequate, affordable and nutritious food makes higher education needlessly difficult. In February 2017, U.S. Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Ed Markey (D-MA), Patty Murray (D-WA) and Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) discussed the need to address increasing food insecurity on college campuses throughout the nation. This holds true for the University of Hawai‘i as well.

Food insecurity on our campus is very real. We might think of the college experience as a journey toward a better future, but the landscape of education has clearly changed.

If you know someone who is food insecure, be understanding of their situation. If you are food insecure, know you are not alone.

There is nothing shameful about being hungry. And almost no one is immune to becoming food insecure – unplanned situations can pose unexpected obstacles to the road ahead. So perhaps when we talk about the college experience, hunger should be a part of that conversation.

SCIENCE AND CULTURE ARE NOT MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE Reducing the Thirty Meter Telescope to a binary is inaccurate ANISH PATEL / FLICKR 

The BLNR’s approval decision was reached after it determined TMT would not damage historical sites or otherwise harm the environment.

MARK LADAO NEWS CORRESPONDENT

While there is much disagreement about the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT), there is one thing both sides agree on – it should not be reduced to a “science versus culture” binary.

“It’s a trope to sell to the public,” said Kamanamaikalani Beamer, an associate professor at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s Center for Hawaiian Studies, suggesting that it undermines the complexity of the TMT. Paul Coleman, a native Hawaiian and astronomer at the Institute for Astronomy at UH Mānoa, agreed.

“It’s very simplistic and it’s very inaccurate,” he said. “It’s an easy way to polarize society. You can say it’s us against them. It’s science against indigenous culture.”

“I think political issues are easier when you reduce them to simple binaries,” said Jon Osorio, Interim Dean of Hawai‘inuiākea School of Hawaiian Knowledge. “I absolutely do not believe it is that simple.”

THE TELESCOPE

Astronomers’ initial idea to build an extremely large telescope with a lens larger than 20 meters started in 2000, with the expectation to expand the capabilities of astronomy.

Different locations were considered, but eventually Hawai‘i’s Mauna Kea was chosen as the site to build the telescope. Many astronomers, Coleman included, believe the attributes of Mauna Kea — its altitude and isolation in the Pacific Ocean being two of them — make it the best place on the planet to do astronomy.

Coleman believes the TMT would be the premiere tool, and Hawai‘i the premiere place, to do astronomy for decades.

The construction of the TMT, which would cost $1.4 billion, was interrupted several times in 2014 and 2015 by protests. In 2015, the Hawai‘i Supreme Court ruled that the building permits did not follow due process, so construction was halted.

On Sept. 28, the Board of Land and Natural Resources (BLNR) approved the Conservation District Use Permit (CDUP), giving the go-ahead to build the telescope for the second time.

THE BINARY

Substantial coverage of the controversial telescope focuses on the “science versus religion” binary.

Several large, national news organizations have leaned on the idea that Mauna Kea is sacred land as the main argument for the anti-TMT camp when they covered the issue.

After the most recent approval of the TMT, even the BLNR extensively covered how the TMT does not interfere with cultural and religious practices.

“The TMT site and its vicinity were not used for traditional and customary native Hawaiian practices conducted elsewhere on Mauna Kea,” the BLNR said in a statement after the CDUP was approved. “No credible evidence was presented that the TMT would somehow be worse from a spiritual or cultural point of view than the other observatories.”

Visual representations of Hawaiian culture and religion are common in protests against the TMT. Focusing on religion and science is important for both those in favor of and against the TMT. But both parties disagree with focusing on just these two issues because it implies that Hawaiian culture is anti-science.

“To say that Hawaiians are anti-scientific is really to have a poor understanding of what Hawaiian religious and spiritual practices are based upon,” said Ty Tengan, an associate professor in the Department of Anthropology at UH Mānoa.

Tengan’s focus, in part, is on cultural politics in Hawai‘i. “In actuality, much of indigenous thought and belief is very scientific in the sense that it’s based on observations that are testable. Hypotheses are drawn up about how certain phenomenon in the environment work … that is at the core of indigenous beliefs.”

Osorio said, “Our kinds of sci-

ences do many of the things that western … science does and follows many of the same kinds of understandings.”

Coleman said that science is a major part of what it means to be Hawaiian.

“The reason a Hawaiian is a Hawaiian is because of astronomy,” he said, describing how Hawaiian ancestors reached the islands using the stars to navigate the Pacific Ocean. “If you’re Hawaiian, one of your ancestors stepped on a canoe in the south Pacific, went for 30 days in the open ocean, and landed here in Hawaii.”

However, both sides see the binary working against them. For those supporting the TMT, attacking it is easy and newsworthy; for the opposition, the binary further

THE REAL PROBLEMS

Some of the disagreement regarding the TMT comes from the type of science it represents.

“Hawaiians — the protectors — are not against science. They’re against bad science that’s being done in a harmful way,” Tengan said.

Such “bad science,” from the perspective of those against the telescope, is in part unsustainable.

According to the Worldwide Indigenous Science Network, indigenous science is distinguished from western science in that “data from [indigenous science] is not used to control the forces of nature, but instead is used to find methods and resources for accommodating it.”

Osorio, on an episode of “Insights” on PBS Hawai‘ i in 2015,

To say that Hawaiians are anti-scientific is really to have a poor understanding of what Hawaiian religious and spiritual practices are based upon.

– TY TENGAN ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF ANTRHOPOLOGY

imposes the idea that indigenous cultures are primitive ones.

“If you go against the TMT, lay down in front of a bulldozer, you make the cover of the New York Times,” Coleman said. “Astronomy is low-hanging fruit – it’s something everyone’s interested in … If you’re against it, you bring your cause to the forefront, at least in the entertainment industry.”

Tengan, on the other hand, says simplifying the platform of those against the TMT to religion or culture further promotes indigenous cultures as “less than” the West, not scientific or of a lower level of civilization.

“These beliefs were constructed to facilitate the appropriation of native lands and the conquest of native peoples,” he said. “That entire worldview is what still persists in different ways to the present, in terms of a depiction of the native as backwards.”

pointed to Hawaiian navigation as an example of sustainability found in indigenous ways of science.

“The science of navigation doesn’t just involve astronomy – it involves an intimate knowledge of winds and currents and waves and swells,” he said. “It involves really a holistic knowledge of how the world operates.”

Tengan described such “bad science,” which in many cases is Western science, as not being able to use the resources of an area sustainably. This points to a degrading global environment as one of the consequences of not using natural resources responsibly.

“Progress is always seen as this thing that moves forward,” he said.

“Most indigenous religions and beliefs understand that there’s an important return that is involved and cycles that are part of the environment, that are part of the relationship of living sustainably on the land.”

Coleman sees the TMT itself as

something that is in line with such sustainable science.

“It’s going to be a closed environment. Once you put it there, it doesn’t affect the rest of the environment. All the materials that are taken in have to be taken out …

It’s what you call a zero-emissions facility,” he said.

For others, the primary issues are not about the differences in the way science is done. Economic opportunities for Hawaiians, proper and legal consultation with the community and the history of colonialism in Hawai‘ i are among the other aspects that some urge others to focus on.

For Osorio, more important is how the TMT and all the other telescopes were approved – that is, based on the assumption that the telescope will be built despite opposition from the community.

“The initial attempts to build [the TMT] paid no attention whatsoever to Hawaiian community opposition,” he said. “Who knows whether an understanding could have been reached? They didn’t try.”

Others see the TMT as another demonstration of colonialism and the idea that indigenous cultures are primitive. Kaleikoa Ka‘eo, an associate professor of Hawaiian Studies at the University of Hawai‘i Maui College, said of those who support the telescope, “They try to create this idea that they know how to civilize the world.”

Keahi Warfield, president of Perpetuating Unique Educational Opportunities (PUEO), a non-profit that focuses on providing educational opportunities to Hawaiian communities, sees the TMT as an opportunity.

“I’m more interested in the career opportunities that will open up for our community,” he said. Warfield believes that the joblessness in Hawai‘i — and on the Big Island, in particular — contributes to drug use and domestic violence within the local community. Even the building of the TMT, Warfield thinks, will provide career opportunities.

That is exactly what Honolulu’s Board of Water Supply has just announced it will do to Ha‘ikū Stairs, otherwise known as the “Stairway to Heaven.” As a result, Honolulu Magazine listed the Stairs as one of Hawaii’s most endangered historic places.

No one disputes that the stairs are a magnificent recreational, engineering and educational resource, that their views are awe-inspiring or that, if re-opened, a properly managed Stairway to Heaven would be a huge source of pride for the people of Hawai‘i. So, why has the city allocated $500,000 to prepare the environmental impact statement for their removal?

And that is not the only expense.

It would cost from $2.5 - $3 million to tear out the stairs. This is after spending $1 million to repair the stairs in 2002. Government usually spends this kind of money to fight society’s ills. So it is hard to believe that this governmental initiative is fighting beauty,

inspiration and tranquility. Hikers risk fines and arrest because the stairs are currently restricted. Imagine lifting heaven and earth to prevent people from exercising, and you begin to see how truly problematic this is.

Why has it come to this? Because the government sees the Stairs as a nuisance to eliminate, rather than a treasure entrusted to them as public stewards to protect and enhance.

Everything that has happened over the last 15 years has flowed from this attitude and mindset. Without a change in direction, the stairs will be gone before you can say “I wish I had stepped forward to fight this.” Don’t let it come to that. Too many things have happened in our country in just the last year alone because people thought someone else was going to stop it.

Right now the stairs are closed to the public, and those who climb them are subject to a $1,000 fine and/or up to six months in prison. And the city recently stepped up their enforcement significantly. We are certainly not encouraging you to go out and climb them. We are encouraging you to join us and get them re-opened for legal access.

The good news is that similar efforts have been met with success in the past. In the 1990s, a group of property owners lobbied

for the demolition of the High Line, a 1.5-mile-long abandoned viaduct of the New York Central Railroad.

The demolition was already scheduled when the Friends of the High Line were formed and it was saved.

The High Line is now a city park and has nearly 5 million visitors annually.

Now, we are facing a similar situation with the Stairway to Heaven and, just like with the High Line, we have the opportunity to make a difference. If we succeed, much awaits you.

The 18-inch wide “path” is bolted into the ridgeline, which is barely wider than the stairs themselves, and is often wrapped inside a cloud. The stairs are not a hike for beginners, but they are an integral part of the Hawaiian landscape. When a cloud blows by on its orographic ascent, a stunning, almost 360 degree view of the island unfolds in front of you.

For those wanting more, there are trails at the summit that take you all the way to Moanalua Valley on the other side of O‘ahu.

The good news is that re-opening the Stairs is simple to accomplish, with a minimum of neighborhood disturbance. For example, vehicular access through Ha‘ikū Road (which skirts the neighborhood) could be restored, and hikers would drive straight up to the former Coast Guard

station parking lot. The city could turn management of the Stairs over to a non-profit agency or ecotourism company, with safety and interpretive information for hikers on natural, World War II, Hawaiian history and cultural features of the valley. With a two-tier admission pricing (residents and non-resident), using a conservative figure of 250 days per year of climbing to allow for inclement weather, the stairs would more than pay for themselves at only 80 hikers a day. With the help of volunteers, this space could be converted from what the city calls a public nuisance to a thriving public space.

The Friends of Ha‘iku Stairs will be holding a public meeting for volunteers and friends in October. We need volunteers to write op-eds like this, help manage our website and Facebook page, assist in our fundraising drives, participate in rallies and otherwise show the city that they cannot tear down the stairs without a fight.

We have lost so much of the quality of life that made Hawai‘i a paradise. Now we have a rare opportunity to bring some of it back. Our economy could also benefit in the process, without the environmental cost of another hotel or shopping mall.

We offer instead beauty, nature and a real adventure.

The Friends of Ha‘iku Stairs, who

have been working to reopen the Stairs for 30 years, will be holding a public meeting for volunteers and friends to make sure this does not happen. Please join us!

A NETFLIX ORIGINALS ROUNDUP RALPH ARISTA FEATURES CORRESPONDENT

Less than two months into the new semester, it is likely that homework, late-night study sessions and exams are already making you wish the school year was over. Whether you are looking for a sitcom, drama or thriller, check out one of these Netflix original series to help you forget your start-of-the-semester blues.

01 FULLER HOUSE

SOURCE: IMDB.COM

A sequel to the classic ‘90s sitcom series “Full House,” “Fuller House” is now in its third season and focuses on the lives of D.J. Tanner-Fuller (Candace Cameron Bure), Stephanie Tanner (Jodie Sweetin) and Kimmy Gibbler (Andrea Barber) as they try to navigate life with kids of their own.

For fans of the original series, “Fuller House” delivers hours of nostalgia, dropping in references to the girls’ lives on “Full House” and appearances by special guest stars when you least expect it. One of the most notable of these is Stephanie’s “bad-influence” friend from high school, Gia (Marla Sokoloff), who has grown into a charity-drive supporting soccer mom with a teenage daughter of her own. My desire to test myself on how many references I could remember

got me hooked on the series.

Although it is refreshing to see how these long-beloved characters deal with contemporary problems, the constant mention of current trending topics like Uber, Tinder, Apple and even Donald Trump make it feel as though the writers are trying too hard to convey that this is a sequel set 20 years after the original series ended.

Their constant allusions to Netflix feel as though they are sending not-sosubtle words of praise to the streaming service. And much like many TV sitcoms today, some of the comedy is dry, relying on predictable punchlines and wacky antics to get a laugh out of the audience. They do, however, manage to add a few clever jokes that had me genuinely laughing.

The original series, “Full House,” premiered in 1987.

02 THE DEFENDERS Marvel’s “The Defenders” is the amalgamation of several Netflix Marvel series. “The Defenders” brings together Matt Murdock/Daredevil (Charlie Cox), Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter), Luke Cage (Mike Colter) and Danny Rand/Iron Fist (Finn Jones) from their own individual shows to form the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s crime-fighting team. While one would expect the gathering of several dynamic personalities in one series to cause conflict or deflect screen time from one character to another, this is not the case for “The Defenders.” There is no denying that the main cast has great chemistry that makes for an interesting dynamic within the team. The fight scenes,

which usually pit the team against hordes of company suits trained in the art of ninjutsu, are always exciting to watch. Luke Cage and Iron Fist work particularly well together, a special homage to the characters’ teacher-mentor relationship in the comics, while Daredevil acts as a vigilante for justice and is the only one out of the team who is constantly looking for a way to conceal his identity, which results in a few laughable disguises.

But the most interesting of the group is Ritter’s character, Jessica Jones, whose undercutting of the other members and use of her normal sarcastic drawl brings forward her brilliant and witty portrayal.

The villains, however, leave much

to be desired. In the first season of this miniseries, the team takes on a group known as “The Hand,” whose vague intentions as a villainous organization left me confused as to what they were trying to accomplish as their final objective. It did not help that the writers chose to cast Sigourney Weaver as the organization’s leader – her bland and forgettable performance did not add any bite to the ruthless villain she was meant to portray. Not even the reintroduction of Elodie Yung as Elektra, whose character was by far the most threatening enemy for the Defenders to face this season, was enough to overshadow the lack of villainous quality in “The Hand” as a whole.

03 MASTER OF NONE



Written by Alan Yang and Aziz Ansari, who also stars as the series’ main character, “Master of None” is loosely based off Ansari’s real-life experiences. It is a heart-warming series that will have you rooting for his lovable, underdog persona, Dev. The main selling point of this series is its unpredictability. You really cannot get a grasp of the story in the first few episodes as the plot often rambles on, which really gives viewers the incentive to keep watching. And while that might sound like a bad thing, I find myself cheering Dev on, watching and waiting to see what choices he will make next. “Master of None” is a series that lends itself to binge watching, as the episodes generally end on cliff-hangers that find Dev’s relationship and/or professional life hanging in the balance, and the viewer wondering where Dev is going

to end up in the next episode.

It is also extremely refreshing to watch a contemporary comedy that addresses issues of race, gender, sexuality and the general struggle to find happiness in life in such a light-hearted way. Over the course of two seasons, fans see Dev struggle to make it as a serious actor who is constantly being typecast as a “stereotypical Indian” character, Brian struggle to find a connection with his old-school Chinese father and Denise struggle to come out to her conservative parents. And while all of these hardships might make the show sound like a downer, every episode is packed with laughs. And if you won’t take my word for it, take it from the critics – “Master of None” took home the award for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series at the 2017 Emmy’s.

Aziz Ansari began his career in stand-up comedy and later transitioned to TV and film.

04 FINAL FANTASY XIV: DAD OF LIGHT

SOURCE: IMDB.COM

The show is based on a video game franchise that has sold 130 million copies since 1987.



A Netflix Original import from Japan, the eight-episode series “Final Fantasy XIV: Dad of Light” is based on a true story and tells the heartwarming story of Akio Inaba (Yudai Chiba) finally trying to bond with his emotionally distant, recently retired father (Ren Osugi). As a child, Chiba’s character was never close to his father due to his father’s hectic work schedule. But when the two finally find the time to spend together as father and son, they discover their shared love of the game Final Fantasy. Fast forward roughly 15 years, Akio and his father have gone back to their awkward father-son relationship. But when his father decides to retire, Akio takes the opportunity to try to reconnect with his father by bringing him back into the game they both love. However, he chooses an unconventional way to do so: approach his father in the game and go on fantastical adventures, but conceals his identity to prevent any awkwardness from getting

through. While this may sound like a needlessly complicated plan, the plot makes for comedic — and sometimes cringe-worthy — situations that are charming and relatable for any gamer.

Though the series may seem like a drawn-out advertisement for the game franchise, “Dad of Light” finds touching moments that will leave viewers applauding Akio’s plan to bond with his father. The director’s ability to flow smoothly from live action shots to in-game shots without creating a disconnect in the dialogue is truly impressive.

As an import, many of the cultural notes and cues in this series may be difficult for those not familiar with them, or those disinterested in reading subtitles, to understand. The series also makes heavy use of the common terminology of gamers, which might also make it difficult for anyone who does not play video games. But try not to let these faults prevent you from watching this Netflix Original. The story, in its entirety, is touching and the comedic moments are well-timed and cleverly executed – you might even shed a tear by the end of it all.

CHEER

MARCHING BAND

Everyone who has ever been to a UH game knows just how much excitement our cheerleaders bring to each and every event. But did you know that the UH cheer team scores victories of their own? In January, the squad competed at the 2017 Universal Cheerleaders Association College National Championships and ďŹ nished in seventh place. Also, UH cheerleading saw three students graduate last Spring, with Bachelors degrees in Botany, Psychology and Entrepreneurship.

The UH Marching Band can trace its history back to 1923, when it was an 18-member band made up primarily of drums and bugles that entertained fans at football games and pep rallies. Today, the marching band is comprised of over 215 students in drum, horn, saxophone and euphonium sections, among others.

Performing pre-game and halftime shows for every UH home football game, the marching band provides the soundtrack for the Warrior experience.

RAINBOW WARRIOR DANCERS

Sharing history with the marching band, UH’s six pep bands are rotating groups of marching band performers who play at women’s volleyball and men’s and women’s basketball games.

In the same way they do for football games, UH’s pep bands bring fun and excitement to the Stan Sheriff Center. Each spring, UH sends a pep band to play during the WAC Conference Basketball Tournament.

The color guard, which performs with the marching band at every UH home football game, provides the non-musical, visual and theatrical aspects of the band. Their contributions to pre-game, in-game and halftime performances help to round out the total fan experience and make the game what it is. The color guard occasionally travels with the band for road games, most notably for the 2008 AllState Sugar Bowl in New Orleans, LA.

The UH Rainbow Warrior Dancers are one of the most versatile groups on campus, performing at pep-rallies, football games, basketball games and out-ofschool appearances. Currently comprised of 19 talented dancers, the Rainbow Warrior Dancers perform in hip hop, jazz and cheer routines, among others. Their style and choreography make the games that much more fun and exciting. This group also throws free T-shirts to fans at many games.

Upward Movement Warrior football head coach Nick Rolovich continues to make his mark on the UH community SOURCE: UH ATHLETICS 

Rolovich is the 23rd head coach of the Warrior football team.

ANGELINA SPENCE INTERIM ISSUES EDITOR

Whether it is reaching out to fraternities to improve student turnout at home games or crafting elaborate scholarship reveals, Head Coach Nick Rolovich is always finding a way to boost Hawai‘i football. Now in his second year, Rolovich hopes to continue what he calls the “upward movement of the university” by both gaining the Warriors more wins on the field and strengthening the entire UH community.

A NEW DIRECTION

It did not take Rolovich much time

to settle into his role as head coach.

In just his first season he led Hawai‘i to finish second in the West Division of the Mountain West Conference, their best finish since joining the conference. Under Rolovich’s leadership, the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa football team also attended, and won, their first bowl game in six years. Considering all of the Warriors achievements in the 2016 season, it is apparent that Rolovich was what this football program needed after years of unimpressive performance.

Rolo’s effectiveness in turning around the Rainbow Warriors can be attributed in part to his offensive expertise. Out of his 15-year coach-

ing career, Rolovich has spent 11 years shaping the offense of various college football teams, either as an offensive coordinator or a quarterback coach.

Before being hired as head coach, Rolovich was the offensive coordinator and quarterback coach at Univeristy of Nevada from 2012 to 2015.

Using this experience, Rolovich was able to fulfill the desire for a better Warrior offense. For the second time in Warrior football history, the team managed a 1,000-yard rusher and a 1,000-yard receiver.

Despite the improvement in performance last year, Coach Rolovich is hesitant to find comfort in last year’s highlight reel.

“Our team needs to reevaluate what our plan is this year. I’m not sure we didn’t get comfortable in last year’s season,” Rolovich said.

Part of reevaluating their strategy means realizing the different expectations heading into games this year, according to Rolovich.

“We have a target on our back this year. People have a little bit more respect for Hawai‘i football than they did last year. So people are approaching us differently. We have to be better than last year just to do what we did last year,” Rolovich added.

Rolovich recognizes that while last year’s season wvas an improvement from previous seasons, there is still room for further improvement in the Warriors’ game.

A COACH AND A MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY

SOURCE: UH ATHLETICS 

Rolovich previosuly played for UH as a quarterback between 2000 to 01.

To think that Nick Rolovich is just a football coach who thinks only in terms of yards and touchdowns is to overlook what has made his time as

head coach so remarkable. Rolovich understands that a successful football team is not measured only by their number of wins, but also by their connection with the community that supports them.

Homecoming is one event Rolovich recognizes as an opportunity to further strengthen this bond between team and fans.

“I’m excited to see people coming back, it’s usually one of our bigger crowds. It’s a great opportunity to show the fans and alumni what we’re about on the field,” Rolovich said.

In the beginning of the season, Rolovich also reached out to the fraternities and sororities of UH Mānoa to devise a plan to improve student turnout at home games.

A NEW STYLE OF COACHING

Another way Rolovich has shown his enthusiasm for UH football is his awarding of scholarships to players he feels are invaluable to the team’s overall morale. Even in these moments Rolovich’s humor comes to the surface.

Among his scholarship reveals this year are WWE wrestlers, the K-POP group Fantastie and hypnotists. The latest scholarship award took place when WWE visited Honolulu in September. It was in the WWE ring among wrestlers like the New Day that Rolovich awarded senior quarterback Hunter Hughes, a member of UH’s scout team, a full academic scholarship. But before Hughes could receive his scholarship, Rolovich insisted that he dance for it. Although Hughes has not played in a game for the Warriors, Rolovich recognized his contribution to the team.

When choosing who to award scholarships to, Rolovich considers how players carry themselves off the field, in addition to their talent on the field.

“You gotta balance how much they’re contributing on the field, how much they’re contributing in the locker room, are they doing things the right way in their everyday lives,” Rolovich said. “Taking into consideration what they’ve already given to this program, I think a lot of guys who contribute you feel they should be on scholarship.”

With all the pressure on Rolovich to improve Hawai‘i’s football program, the head coach still maintains an optimistic outlook. As Rolovich continues to redefine Hawai‘i football and what it means to be a head coach, students and alumni alike can have faith in his outlook.

Before ending his interview with Ka Leo, Rolovich was asked whether he felt student turnout was important. His response lends a glimpse into how Rolovich has managed to breathe life into the Warrior football community.

“I think it [student turnout] is [really important] for the overall upward movement of the university.” Rolovich said. “You talk about what’s happening in Vegas, you talk about all the negative things in the world. If this university comes together, and everyone moves forward, moves upward I’m not sure what our limit is.”

Ursua says that the church mission has changed him for the better by improving his work ethic at home and in school.

“Being able to come to college a little later, I was more mature. I was 21 instead of 18 or 19. I learned how to cook my own meals, do my own laundry, just the little things

Besides football, Ursua also participated in baseball and track and field in high school. He could have been the next baseball or track star, but football held a special place in his heart – both of his older brothers played football for Southern Utah, and he wanted to do the same.

“Once I saw them make that commitment, because we all played the same sports growing up, I instanta-

DELAYING THE COLLEGE EXPERIENCE

Unlike other students who attend community college or university straight out of high school, John Ursua decided to take a different route. During his four-year break between high school and higher education, Ursua went on a two-year mission to Paris, France, where he became fluent in French. However, he learned in an un-traditional way, without proper classes or training.

“They actually just throw us out there and we have to pick it up on our own,” Ursua said. “We have about four to six weeks to kind of study on our own before we get thrown out there. Right after we know where we’re about to go for our mission call, they just throw you

But I think he’s been taking it up a notch as far as just his drive, his preparation and taking care of his body well.

around the house,” Ursua said.

BRANCHING OUT TO THE MAINLAND

Growing up on the island of Hawai‘i, John was raised along side his two older brothers and two sisters. He attended Kealakehe High School for his freshman year, then moved to Utah and attended Cedar High School until graduation.

neously wanted to follow their footsteps and play football. It was just a blessing I got to come here [back to Hawai‘ i],” Ursua said.

Like many local families, Ursua’s immediate and extended family come to support him at the games. Ursua’s family in O‘ahu attend home games, while his family in Utah tries to catch as many away games as possible.

CATCHING MORE THAN THE BALL

In addition to being a family man and fluent in more than one language, Ursua is an accomplished wide receiver both at the university and national level. He is currently the number one wide receiver in the Mountain West Conference, with 653 yards and five touchdowns this season so far. Ursua is one of the 10 receivers that were recently added to the Biletnikoff Award Watch List.

His 272 yards is the most by a Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) receiver in 2017 and the most since Carlos Henderson of Louisiana Tech had 326 against UMass in 2016.

He also had an explosive performance during UH’s season-opener at UMass, catching 272 yards, the fourth-highest in school history.

It was the most since Jason Rivers’ 308 yards against Arizona State in 2006 at the Hawai‘ i Bowl. The redshirt sophomore’s 85 yard touchdown reception against University of Massachusetts Amherst was also the fifth-longest pass play in program history.

John Ursua is a man on a mission, and a force to watch out for.

GAME DAY GRINDZ Chow down on these grindz while you watch the teams face off

The one thing that makes game day enjoyable, no matter how your team is performing, is the food. You won’t be able to enjoy the excitement of watching the game on an empty stomach. Rather than ordering a pizza, try out these simple game day recipes to keep you full while you cheer for your favorite team.

RALPH ARISTA | FEATURES CORRESPONDENT

BAKED CHEESY GARLIC POTATO WEDGES

Personally, I think watching a game is incomplete without something salty and greasy to munch on during nail-biting plays. Although my first choice will always be french fries, these potato wedges are just as satisfying and much easier to prepare.

IN G R ED I E N T S :

• 4 large Russet potatoes • 4 tablespoons olive oil (plus 1 tablespoon to grease your baking sheet) • 3 tablespoons garlic salt • 1 ½ tablespoons minced garlic (you can either use fresh garlic or minced garlic that comes in a jar) • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning • 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese

TWO-MINUTE GAME DAY NACHOS

Considering the way I stress-eat during a close game, the possibility of running out of snacks is very high. When I am hungry but don’t want to take my eyes from the game to make another snack, these nachos are the solution.

A big plus for this recipe is that all toppings are prepared in advance, so you do not need to worry about a mountain of dishes later. These nachos can feed up to two people, but if you are making this for yourself you will be well-fed for the entirety of the game.

D I R ECT I O N S :

1. Preheat the oven to 375F. Lightly grease a large baking sheet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

2. Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into four wedges. Depending on the size of the potatoes, you should end up with a total of 30 - 32 wedges.

3. Place the potato wedges in a large bowl. Add the minced garlic and olive oil, then toss to coat. Sprinkle the potato wedges with the garlic salt and Italian seasoning. Toss the potatoes again to ensure that each wedge is well-seasoned.

4. Place the potato wedges on the pre-greased baking sheet and sprinkle the shredded parmesan cheese over the wedges. When placing the wedges on the sheet, be careful not to allow overlap that could cause them to cook unevenly.

5. Bake for 25-35 minutes or until the wedges are fork-tender and golden brown. Serve and enjoy.

D I R ECT I O N S :

1. Place 2 - 3 large handfuls of tortilla chips on a large plate.

Spoon chili and sprinkle the shredded cheese over the entire mound of chips.

2. Microwave the chips on high for 2 minutes or until the cheese melts completely.

3. Enjoy the nachos as they are or customize them with toppings*. *My favorite topping combination is 1/2 cup each of chunky salsa and sour cream along with 1 cup of guacamole placed on top.

IN G R ED I E N T S :

• 2 ½ cups chili (I prefer Zippy’s chili, but you can choose a different brand) • 2 ½ cups shredded cheese of your choice • 2 - 3 handfuls of tortilla chips • Optional toppings: chunky salsa, pickled jalapeños, sour cream and guacamole

CHOCOLATECHUNK BROWNIES

After experiencing all the highs and lows of watching your team play, it is appropriate to celebrate with something more indulgent. These brownies deliver a sweet, salty and crunchy bite that will have you cheering no matter which team wins.

IN G R ED I E N T S :

• • • • • • • • •

1 cup (roughly 2 sticks) salted butter ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder 2 cups sugar 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 3 large eggs 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour ½ cup sweetened chocolate chips ¾ cup unsweetened chocolate chips ¾ cups salted pretzels (lightly crushed)

D I R ECT I O N S :

1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease a 9 x 13” baking tray with 1 tablespoon butter.

2. In a large bowl, combine the butter and unsweetened chocolate chips and microwave until melted. This process should take between 1 1/2 - 2 minutes. Remove the bowl from the microwave every 30 seconds and stir the mixture to ensure that it is smooth.

3. When the butter and chocolate have melted, add the cocoa powder and mix to combine. Leave the mixture to cool until it’s room temperature (at least four minutes).

4. When the mixture has cooled, stir in the vanilla and sugar and mix until combined. Add the eggs one at a time and mix together until combined.

5. Add the flour and mix into the chocolate mixture until half-combined. Add the sweetened chocolate chips and mix until your batter is smooth. (Make sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure that there are no pockets of raw flour left unincorporated.)

6. Sprinkle the crushed pretzels on the bottom of the baking tray, then pour the batter over. (The batter should be very thick. Do not be tempted to add something to thin it out.) Spread the batter evenly across the tray.

7. Bake the brownies for 40 minutes, then check to see if done by sticking in a toothpick. If the toothpick comes out dry, the brownies are ready. (If you want brownies that are more chocolatey, bake for 3 - 5 fewer minutes.)

8. Leave the brownies to cool completely, then cut into small squares and serve.

Scouting the homecoming opponent Hawai‘i vs. San Jose State University ALEXANDER WONG / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

UH Mānoa and San Jose State University are both ranked fifth in the West Division of the Mountain West Conference.

CHAVONNIE RAMOS SENIOR EDITOR

Homecoming means a lot to the University of Hawai‘i; showcasing Rainbow Warrior pride, alumni returning and having a week long of festivities. For the Rainbow Warrior football team, they need to make a good impression on the field and snap its four game losing streak.

EYES ON THE PRIZE

Hawai‘i (2-4, 0-3 Mountain West) will face the San Jose State University Spartans (1-6, 0-3 Mountain West) for their homecoming game at Aloha Stadium on Oct 14. Kickoff between the ‘Bows and Spartans is set for 6 p.m.

Last year, Hawai‘i won the

matchup, 34-17 at the Spartan Stadium. In the series, the ‘Bows and Spartans are currently tied at 19 wins each.

In their last game, the ‘Bows fell to the Nevada Wolfpack, 21-35 on Oct. 7.

UH got off to a fast start, with junior quarterback Dru Brown’s pass to sophomore wide receiver John Ursua for a 10-yard touchdown on a 6-play, 80-yard drive in the first quarter. However, the Wolf Pack answered back with scoring their own touchdown. It was then a back to back game of turnovers.

Nevada won the first down battle, 26-20, and only had about a minute more of possession than UH, 30:59-29:01. Defense and preventing the opposing team from doing

big plays has always been an issue for the ‘Bows. Hawai’i finished with 477 yards of total offense, but gave up 566 yards to Nevada.

This is UH’s fourth consecutive loss this season, with the team dropping to 0-3 in the Mountain West Conference.

In an interview with Ka Leo, Rainbow Warrior football head coach Nick Rolovich noted that the team’s goal is still to win the Mountain West championship.

“I don’t know if that goals attainable without the help from other people right now. It’s shifted to playing the best we can in conference and getting to a bowl game,” Rolovich said.

KEY PLAYERS - HAWAI‘I

KEY PLAYERS - SAN JOSE STATE UNIVERSITY

Junior quarterback Dru Brown remains as the No. 2 lead passer in the Mountain West with 1,643 yards and 12 touchdowns.

Senior running back Diocemy Saint Juste leads the ‘Bows as their all time high rusher at 892 yards on 144 carries and four touchdowns.

His teammate Ryan Tuiasoa is next with 220 yards on 30 carries and four touchdowns.

Sophomore wide receiver John Ursua, currently the lead receiver in the Mountain West, has caught 653 yards up in the air and five touchdowns.

Leading the ‘Bows defense is Junior linebacker Jahlani Tavai with 53 tackles, 6.5 for loss and 3.5 sacks.

San Jose State comes to the islands after losing last week to Fresno State, 27-10.

The Spartan’s sophomore quarterback Josh Love totals 869 passing yards and five touchdowns in the season so far.

Sophomore running back Zamore Zigler has 265 yards on 51 carries and one touchdown. Next is freshman running back Tyler Nevens with 261 yards on 59 carries.

Leading the Spartan’s with receiving is sophomore wide receiver Bailey Gaither with 314 yards and four touchdowns.

Senior linebacker William Ossai has 42 tackles, 9.5 for loss and two sacks.

The University of Hawai‘ i band Spreading Rainbow Warrior pride through music CHAVONNIE RAMOS SENIOR EDITOR

During halftime at a University of Hawai‘i football home game, the field belongs to the marching band.

The UH band dates back to 1923, with the original 18-member drum and bugle corps. In the same year, the addition of woodwinds and more brass saw the band’s expansion into a 26-member, extracurricular band.

This band participated in concerts, athletic events and pep rallies.

Today, the program has over 300 students playing in three concert bands, five pep bands and the marching band. Annually, the band entertains around 400,000 fans and spectators at football, basketball and volleyball games at the Aloha Stadium, Stan Sheriff Center and band concerts.

Assistant band director Gwen Nakamura accompanies the bands to games at Aloha Stadium and Stan Sheriff Center.

“Our students love performing and love to get the crowd involved.

It’s a lot of fun when the crowd gets involved,” Nakamura said.

Andrew Ching is one of three drum majors that help lead the marching band during the football home games in the stands and at halftime.

One of Ching’s favorite songs to play is from the hit television show “Hawai‘i Five-O.” UH’s unofficial rally song, the Hawai‘i Five-O theme is a familiar tune for fans and students, even if they do not watch the show.

“The band gets really excited to play [Hawai‘i Five-O] and the crowd loves to hear it,” Ching said.

The marching band performs at every football home game. With their coordinated marching formations and catchy melodies, the band tries to elevate the college-game experience and encourages crowd participation.

“We cheer and hopefully hype up the crowd or get them to clap and sing along with us,” Nakamura said.

Inspiration for its halftime shows

comes from a combination of student ideas and current events. Their Michael Jackson halftime show at the game against Western Carolina University on Sept. 2 was a birthday tribute to the king of pop. During halftime against Colorado State University they played a tribute to football head coach Nick Rolovich with their show “Pride Rock,” where they performed a medley of songs from the hit Disney movie “Moana.”

In past performances, the marching band has featured local artists such as Loyal Garner, Nina Keali‘iwahamana, Teresa Bright, Karen Keawehawai‘i and Frank DeLima. The band also coordinates their performances with the Rainbow Warrior Dancers.

The presence of the band at athletic games is a morale booster for the team and the crowd alike.

“Part of this is we do it to establish an experience for all people that come to the game or fans of UH football – and the students are a big part of that,” football head coach Nick

Rolovich said.

The marching band continues to support the UH athletic teams.

“It feels great to be a positive part of the games,” Ching said. “No matter how the game goes, the UH teams can count on the UH Band to be cheering them on from the stands.”

UH Fight Song and Alma Mater Facts: Official title of the Fight Song: Co-ed The original tune was composed in 1954 by J.S. Zamecnik, and published

by Sam Fox. In 2007, the last line of the fight song was revised to fit both men and women athletes. It was changed from “Here’s to each valiant son” to “Here’s to each valiant one.”

LYRICS TO CO-ED Here’s to our dear Hawai‘i Here’s to our Green and White Here’s to our Alma Mater Here’s to the team with fight Rah! Rah! Rah! Here’s to old warriors calling Here’s to old battles won Here’s to Hawai‘i’s victory Here’s to each valiant one.

UH Alma Mater In green Manoa Valley our Alma Mater stands Where mountain winds and showers refresh her fertile lands; The flag of freedom beckons above her shining walls, To larger truth and service our Alma Mater calls.

Hawai‘i, we have gathered within thy wide-flung doors, As sons and daughters claiming her freely offered stores; Our loyal praise we tender, and pledge to hold thy aim, Till ocean’s far horizons shall hear thy honored name.
