Women’s volleyball wins 2 of 3 BYU-Hawaii Women’s Volleyball Team participated in the Hawaii Invitational last weekend and won two of their three games. With the wins, the Seasiders improved 3-4 on the season. The Seasiders faced off with three visiting schools; Montana State-Billings, Seattle Pacific, and Texas Women’s University. On Thursday, Sept. 9, BYUH took on Montana State-Billings. The Seasiders made their home opener one to remember, blasting the yellowjackets in three straight sets winning, 25-11, 25-16, and 25-16. The following night, Sept. 10, the Seasiders fell victim to the Seattle Pacific
Falcons as the tables turned, being swept in three consecutive sets, 25-11, 25-17, and 2522. The Seasiders hit just .097 in the match. Tyler Finlayson, a freshman from Utah, expressed his disappointment in the loss. “I was hoping for another win for us and am sad that we had to go down in three. However, I am proud of our girls for fighting hard... I am sure we’ll come back in the next game fighting hard for the win!” The team will kick off Pac West Conference play Saturday, Sept. 18 against UH-Hilo.

HO N O R C ODE: A S K A N D YE S HA LL R E CE IVE Matthew 7:7 gives us clear guidelines when it comes to seeking guidance and direction from the Lord. Ask and ye shall receive. Too often we sit silently on the side walk waiting for questions to be answered, yet we never ask the questions. Too often we blindly follow leaders’ direction. We have been instructed as mem-
bers of the LDS Church to be submissive, meek, and humble; and we should be, but we at the Office of Honor want to teach you. We want you to be able to ask questions about things in the Honor Code that you may not understand or that you may not agree with. We want you to know why we have the Honor Code and why it is important not only to us at the Office of Honor but also why we at BYU–Hawaii have a special responsibility to live and abide by the Honor Code. We attend a sacred university and we need to know how our following the Honor Code contributes to a safer and more
enjoyable learning environment. We want your support and your enthusiasm to live and abide by the honor code. So, this space will be used for an “ASK THE HONOR CODE” column. If you have questions please submit them to studenthonors@gmail.com and you will see the answers appear in the next issue of Ke Alaka‘i. Questions will be completely anonymous. We want to make sure you know what you agree to by signing the Honor Code. - AM Y H AN SO N & OFFICE OF HONOR
