‘He is a hero’ Friends, family describe the man who died trying to stop a suicide at UH Mānoa

SOURCE: FACEBOOK 

24-year-old Tommy Bennet loved Hawai‘ i for the weather, hiking and warmhearted nature of its residents, friends say.

COURTNEY TEAGUE NEWS EDITOR

Smile wide, jaw jutted out, eyes squinted, face red – that’s the playful look that Sierra Burke imagines on her friend, the forever 24-yearold Tommy Bennett, as he gazes down upon the world.

Around 2 a.m. on Aug. 16 at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa campus, Bennett fell 13 stories from a window ledge outside a Hale Wainani dorm room while attempting to coax his 19-year-old friend, contemplating suicide, into the safety of UH Mānoa sophomore Ted Guillory’s bedroom.

“He proved to me that night that he cared about other people more than he even cared about himself,” said Guillory, a witness to the incident and one of Bennett’s best friends, in a phone interview. “He is a hero.”

The pair was presumed to come inside soon when the glass window panel they had been holding for support shattered, causing them to plummet to the ground below. At that time, Bennett and his friend were still responsive, yelling and moaning, but “very badly injured.”

The incident occurred in the midst of a party at his apartment, Guillory said.

While making plans with some of Bennett’s close friends to visit their wounded friend in the hospital, Guillory said an officer overheard the group and informed them Ben-

nett had passed away at 3:15 a.m.

At that time, Bennett’s friend was undergoing surgery in critical condition. Reymus Nakaki, a friend of Bennett who introduced him and the other man, said the 19-year old is recovering well, though he is currently listed as being in critical but stable condition.

“I still want him to push to do his best. I know that’s what Tommy would have wanted,” Nakaki said in a phone interview.

The young man has sustained several injuries, including two broken legs, one broken arm, a collapsed lung, a partially broken back and internal bleeding.

“I know Tommy had struggled with pretty bad depression at some points and I think he knows what it’s like to want to take the easy way out,” Burke, a UH Mānoa junior, said in a phone interview. “I don’t know if he saw himself in that kid or something ... maybe he wanted to tell that kid that things do get better, and that he was trying to find a permanent solution for a temporary problem.”

Bennett’s mother, Lesley Heard, said in a message that it was not a reckless act, but a calculated one.

“The word ‘hero’ is banded about too freely, but what my son did was heroic,” she said.

Bennett, born in the U.K. and raised in Philadelphia, leaves behind two parents, two younger sisters, a younger brother and a myriad of friends impacted by his legacy.

Sidney Hougland, a UH Mānoa student in her second year and one of Bennett’s friends, said in a phone interview that the incident should serve as a reminder to others to keep an eye on friends, especially at a party where alcohol could be involved.

PUTTING OTHERS FIRST

Despite the tribulations Bennett had encountered, friends said he

have a permanent residence and friends had provided him with places to live.

“Even though he himself didn’t have a roof over his head, he would still make sure that all of us were getting home safely,” Burke said.

The night of the fall, Guillory said Bennett insisted on remaining outside to save his friend, despite protests urging the pair to retreat inside.

Hougland said that Bennett had

was always smiling. His mother felt that helping others was a priority for him because of the difficulties he had dealt with personally.

“He did have a lot of problems in his life, and even still ... he just wanted to make sure everyone else was okay. He’s just one of the most selfless people I know,” Burke said.

Every time Nakaki encountered Bennett, his friend asked how he was doing – not as an empty greeting, but because he “genuinely cared” about the wellbeing of others.

Guillory cited addiction as one adversity in Bennett’s life, but said he been clean for about a year.

For the majority of his time in Hawai‘ i, Burke said Bennett didn’t

“saved multiple lives” and knew personally some of those who had turned to Bennett for support. Hougland herself had struggled with intense depression and the second day that she saw Bennett, broke down and confessed her troubles.

Despite the fact that Bennett had fought his own battles with depression, Hougland said he did the best he could “to let other people have the kind of life that he was trying to make for himself.”

siblings in the Philadelphia suburb of Exton, Pennsylvania for 14 years.

He then lived with friends and his father for a while up until 2011, when his mother and siblings moved back to England. Bennett decided he did not want to return, then followed in the footsteps of some friends and moved to Hawai’i at 21 years old.

While Bennett still missed his hometown and the relationships he had built around Philadelphia, Hougland said he found Hawai‘ i to be a more mellow, refreshing change of pace.

“Wherever he went, he made friends with his cheeky grin, distinctive red hair and piercing blue eyes and his caring personality. He was full of life,” his mother said.

Though Bennett never attended college, Burke described her friend as eloquent and articulate.

“He was the prime example of that saying ‘don’t judge a book by its cover’,” Burke said. “He comes over in sagging pants, the backwards hat — he’s tattooed and everything and smoking a cigarette — then he starts talking and using these big words.”

Bennett had picked up a landscaping and hardscaping job that he loved and “suited his hyper and energetic personality,” Heard said. With money saved up from his work, he intended to fly his mother out to Hawai‘i as a surprise Christmas present.

Since moving to Hawai‘ i, he had not seen his family.

“He really, really wanted to be successful – to impress his dad, make his mom proud, his younger siblings. That was his number one thing that he always told me, that he just wants to make people proud,” Burke said.

She said that for the first time in five years, Bennett had reconnected with his father and patched up their issues, which had meant a lot to him.

One friend present at the party said that Bennett was perhaps the happiest he had ever seen him – “which was saying a lot,” Burke said.

Bennett’s friends and mother also said they hoped the man who had fallen by his side would take advantage of his gift of life, as Bennett would have wanted.

“I hope that young man will put his second chance at life to good use and in time, pay forward the caring and kindness that my Tommy gave to him so my son will not have died in vain,” Heard said.

A week prior to the incident, Nakaki asked Bennett what he thought death was going to be like.

“He said, ‘I don’t really care. All I want to do is leave an impression on this earth … I’m going to show this world that I’m a good person.’

And then, he did that,” Nakaki said.

“He accomplished exactly what he told me that he was going to do.”

Enough is enough Social media shaming needs to stop AMBER KHAN ASSOCIATE OPINIONS EDITOR

Whether it’s posting hundreds of bad Yelp reviews to close Walter Palmer’s dentist practice and death threats to his social media accounts or using social media to discipline children or a coworker, Internet shaming is out of control.

People have been losing their jobs because of their actions, and we all make mistakes. However, if social media discovers your error, your minute phrases or actions may dictate the rest of your life. #HASSHELANDEDYET

On Dec. 20, 2013, Justine Sacco tweeted when leaving for a trip, “Going to Africa. Hope I don’t get AIDS. Just kidding. I’m white!” The tweet caused her to lose her job.

The tweet was distasteful, racist and crude, but did she deserve the rape and death threats that went along with losing her job? The threats’ severity shows that as long as what you post online is ‘okay with the crowd,’ then go ahead.

In March 2015, Monica Lewinsky shared her experiences with online shaming through a TED Talk: “Overnight I went from being a

completely private figure to a publicly humiliated one worldwide,” Lewinsky said. “I was branded as a tramp, tart, slut, whore, bimbo and of course ‘that woman.’ … I was seen by many but actually known by a few. … I lost my reputation and my dignity. I lost almost everything, and I almost lost my life.”

If someone says or does something unjust, then it is okay to react and give your opinion. However, to completely sabotage his or her life based on one statement or action is cruel. People make mistakes; it is a part of being human. We are faced with consequences for our actions and punished accordingly.

ways the law couldn’t. They now live in fear, anxiety and embarrassment.

Social shaming is a reflection of a lost sense of humanity. Freedom of speech allows us to post, comment and react to Palmer and Sacco’s actions. But within that freedom, we use death and rape threats to mentally imprison the offenders.

Obama, the first lady and celebrities like Ellen Degeneres became involved with the efforts.

STICKS AND STONES

Repercussions of shaming can be tremendous. On May 29, 13-yearold Izabel Laxamana committed suicide after her father filmed her hair being cut off as a form of punishment, and she shared the video with peers at school. Although the father never intended for her to share the video, its effects contributed to her suicide.

For many years, anti-bullying campaigns have increased. A State Bullying Laws and Policies Report released in 2011 showed that from 1999 to 2010, more than 120 bills have been enacted by state legislatures across the country to amend statues on bullying and related behaviors in schools. In an effort to stop bullying in schools and in the workplace, President Barack

THE GOLDEN RULE

Why stop in schools and the workplace? Shaming is a form of bullying that needs to end everywhere, including on the Internet.

Where do we draw the line and gain a sense of social responsibility and compassion?

There are people who have felt cornered to the point of taking their lives, and we should take all preventative measures to save them. We shouldn’t post humiliating comments on social media.

Rather than condemning or threatening the offender, we should create dialogue open to all points of view. We should say to others what we would say to ourselves.

Let’s not say ‘aloha ‘oe’ to teachers Fix shortage with budget restructuring CARLY YASHIKI STAFF WRITER

In 2014, Hawai‘i was ranked the fifth worst place to become an educator in the United States. Teacher shortages have been an ongoing problem for over 20 years in Hawai‘ i. It has become the norm to question any aspiring educator, “That’s great, but why?”

“Low wages make it challenging to recruit and retain excellent teachers, particularly in Hawai‘i when the cost of living is so high,” said Leah Muccio, assistant professor at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s College of Education (COE).

“We need to compensate teachers fairly to allow them to have the professional autonomy they need to teach and stay in the classroom.”

Shortages occurs because of low salaries, around $48,865 on aver-

age, along with our state’s high cost of living. Without proper funding, Hawai‘i will continue to lose teachers. Without the opportunities to take certain courses, students are ultimately the ones who suffer the most. In order to compensate for Hawai‘i’s costs, the government should make financial cuts elsewhere and prioritize teacher salaries.

DIFFICULT FOR EVERYONE

According to Civil Beat, for the upcoming 2015-2016 school year, the state Department of Education hired 700 teachers, out of whom 231 were emergency hires. However, those numbers still do not suffice.

With the proper number of teachers, students will have more opportunities to take needed courses with a focused learning approach. A STAR research study

showed that when students are placed in a smaller learning environment, 76 percent graduate on time (as opposed to 64 percent) and 45 percent graduate with honors (as opposed to 29 percent).

ALL ABOUT THE MONEY

As of 2014, Hawai‘ i had an estimated spending of $11.8 billion.

In 2013, it was concluded that 15.5 percent of spending goes towards K-12 education, 10.9 percent goes towards higher education, 14.4 percent goes towards Medicaid, 9.9 percent goes towards transportation, 46.5 percent goes towards other spending and the remaining goes towards public assistance and corrections. However, Hawai‘ i also has a debt of $46.1 billion, which is why it may be difficult to fairly distribute its money.

Along with making budget cuts,

Associate Professor and Director of ITE Secondary Education Tara O’Neill said secondary education is trying to help by “building partnerships with science programs in the college of Arts and Science and Second Language studies in that build pathways to teacher license.”

Building a bridge among UH Mānoa’s science programs within the College of Arts and Sciences can assist aspiring teachers to getting their teaching licenses.

OTHER ALTERNATIVES

“In order to attract and retain teachers in the hard-to-fill rural areas such as Lāna‘ i and Wai‘anae, we should look to programs that recruit prospective teachers from the local community,” said Stephanie Buelow, assistant professor at UH Mānoa’s COE. She discussed keeping a close

eye on the Teaching Academy at Wai‘anae High School, as it acts as a model for recruiting local teachers.

“They’re learning how to do lesson plans. They’re learning to present. They’re learning how to create relationships to the other students and other personnel in the school,” Teaching Academy teacher Leann Manuel told Hawai‘ i News Now. By starting their own academy, they focus more on “growing” their staff in hopes of creating a new community of local teachers. Currently, there are 30 students enrolled.

Along with making budget cuts, further measures need to be taken if we are going to fix our state’s teacher shortage. Our teachers need to be paid with the salaries they deserve. Recruitment and training local teachers might help Hawai‘ i additionally.

Letter from the Editor

GREETINGS FELLOW STUDENTS,

Few of us, myself included, have come to terms with the fact that summer is over. Many days were spent on the beach, eating food, watching Netflix and pretending that college isn’t real, and those days will be missed.

I think we should all inhale a deep breath, take a moment of silence for our departed season and then proceed to tackle the new school year with as much optimism and courage as we can muster. I know we can do it, and with those cheerful thoughts and summer behind us, I would like to say – Welcome Back!

Welcome back to long lectures and stacks of homework. Welcome back to your friends, 1 a.m. runs to 7-Eleven and sleeping in too late on Sunday mornings. Welcome back to Monday morning hangovers just before that midterm you forgot about (or didn’t).

Welcome back to campus politics, tuition going places you may not want it to go and our controversial athletics department. Welcome back to cafeteria food and dorm life, to more caffeine than any human should consume and welcome back to all the various clubs and organizations you are a part of. Welcome back to all the ups and downs of college livin’, and, last but certainly not least – welcome back to your wonderful campus newspaper!

In order to make you feel even more welcome upon your return to campus (or perhaps your first year here), the lovely Ka Leo staff have written a number of articles, accessible both

ithi thi within this issue and online, to help get you back in the academic zone. P. 14 will give you tips and tricks for staying organized as you dive into the year, and p. 18 will give you some suggestions for getting involved on campus.

We have articles about fall concerts, movies and television shows to look forward to, as well as a few playlists to get you pumped for new classes. P. 22 will prove useful to those lucky souls applying to graduate school and p. 16 will help you shop for groceries without spending a fortune. These articles and more will hopefully make you feel increasingly welcome as we embark upon the first days of the 2015-2016 academic year.

Finally, I would like to end this letter on a brief note about myself. You’ll be seeing my face and my letters from time to time within Ka Leo, as I am the Special Issues Editor. I coordinate these roughly monthly editions of the paper, alongside my fabulous associate editor, Christina. However, outside of my Ka Leo life I am a psychology major studying romantic relationships.

I like croissants, cute animals and hiking, and I am coming to terms with the notion that I am entering my senior year of college.

Now that I have introduced myself, I will once again extend to you a warm welcome upon your return to UH Mānoa’s campus, and I wish us all the very best of luck in this new school year!

BEST BEACHES The best places for swimming, tanning and more NOELLE FUJII EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

When you’re living on a tropical island, going to the beach should be at the top of your to-do list, especially if you’re new to Hawai'i. From the crowded shores of Waikīkī to the pounding waves of Sunset Beach on the North Shore, O'ahu has many beaches to offer whether you’re into surfing or relaxing on the sand. Below are some of the best beaches for various activities that you can do at the beach.

Always popular with the tourists, Waikīkī Beach is great for swimming, surfing and tanning. The waters are calm and shallow for hundreds of feet out, making it a good place to swim no matter how experienced you are.

Many people seem to have the same idea, so watch out when others are swimming or surfing nearby.

KALAMA BEACH:

Nestled outside the Ko'olau mountains, Kahana Bay is one of the prettiest beaches on the island. With views of the blue sea and lush, green mountains in the background and a somewhat secluded location, this beach is perfect for when you want to escape from town and relax. The waters — although murky most of the time — are mainly calm and shallow. The sand is also fine and soft – perfect for laying a towel down and taking a much-needed nap.

Located in Kailua, a town outside of town, Kalama Beach is where many families go to relax and have fun. With waves that break farther back than the shore, many children can be seen riding them with or without body boards.

Although often crowded – but not as crowded as the touristy Waikīkī – Kalama is a great place to catch the rays and get a tan. The sand is soft and plentiful, extending back to houses that surround the large beach.

Hanauma Bay is the place to go if you want to see fish and lots of them. The bay has a large, shallow reef, making it easy to spot fish swimming by.

As one of the most popular snorkeling destinations on the island, it’s also quite crowded. According to its website, the state park sees around 3,000 visitors a day, so you’ll want to go early. The park also charges an entry fee and is open from 6 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. each day except Tuesday.

It’s showtime Concerts to look Fall’s New TV Shows

for this semester DAVID MCCRACKEN SPORTS EDITOR

Whether it’s the spring or fall semester, concerts and shows are always something to look forward to for students who feel the need to get away from the classroom and workplace; this semester will be no different. Here are some shows that are a must-see this upcoming fall.

IRENE FANG STAFF WRITER

This fall, several much-anticipated television shows are returning, but be sure to also keep an eye out for new premieres.

JAMES DIMMOCK / AMC.COM 

Into the Badlands

TRACEY T / FLICKR 

AMC’s six-part, hour-long series stars Daniel Wu as a powerful warrior in a martial arts fantasy Western, as he sets off on a journey of enlightenment with a young boy he rescues. The series is loosely based on the Chinese classic, “Journey to the West.”

PORTER ROBINSON

One of the brightest producers in dance music, Porter Robinson will be headlining Beyond Paradise on Nov. 28 at the Hawai‘i Country Club. Robinson, age 23, recently released his newest album titled Worlds in 2014 which resulted in him being honored with the MTV Artist of the Year award this past March. A regular headliner for HARD Summer and the Electric Daisy Carnival Las Vegas as recent as 2013, Robinson is primed to take this year’s Beyond Paradise to new heights. Prices will vary based on sale of early bird tickets on July 24.

FOX.COM 

Scream Queens From “Glee” and “American Horror Story” creator, Ryan Murphy, comes the first part of a horror-comedy anthology. The show boasts a cast of very recognizable names, such as Emma Roberts, Lea Michele, Ariana Grande and Nick Jonas. The first season revolves around a sorority house and a devil-masked serial killer targeting its pledges.

FXNETWORKS.COM 

EDWARD BEAVERS / FLICKR 

The Bastard Executioner

CIRCA SURVIVE

FX’s new period drama focuses on the life of a 14th Century Welsh warrior, Wilkin Brattle. With the bleak terrain of medieval England as a backdrop, the show follows Brattle’s quest to find a “greater purpose,” after a revelation from a divine messenger. Brattle lays down his warrior’s sword to become a journeying executioner.

Circa Survive is coming back to Hawai‘i to rock The Republik on Sept. 15. The American indie rock band from Philadelphia formed in 2004, consisting of vocalist Anthony Green (the former singer of Saosin) and members of the now-defunct bands This Day Forward and Taken. Their fifth album, “Descensus,” was released in November 2014 and has lifted the group into mainstream. Tickets are currently on sale for $27 and will be $32 on the day of the event.

NBC.COM  SWIMFINFAN / FLICKR 

YELLOW CLAW

The DJ-trio from Amsterdam, Netherlands, is set to throw down at the Hawaii Country Club on Sept. 25. Yellow Claw is a collection of artists with a rising presence in dance music and has captivated audiences worldwide with a mix of genres and often incorporates elements from trap music, hip-hop, dubstep, hardstlye and moombahton. Tickets are on sale at Flavorus.com for $65.

CBS.COM 

Blindspot

Supergirl

In NBC’s new hour-long thriller, a woman is found in the middle of Times Square, naked, covered in intricate tattoos. The woman, “Jane Doe,” has no memory of who she is or what has happened to her. However, the tattoos on her body reveal intricate clues to future crimes and help to unravel an international conspiracy.

Kara Zor-El, Superman’s cousin, is the titular character of CBS’s new series. Kara, who lives in National City and works as an executive assistant by day, eventually tires of her staid life. When an accident that would have killed a member of her adopted family occurs, she prevents it and begins to embrace her powers.

Written Notes

ILLUSTRATIONS BY: KRISTEN IKEHARA

IRENE FANG STAFF WRITER

Note-taking is vitally important to success in any class you take, and students are often torn between taking notes by hand or on their laptops.

Many studies show that taking notes by laptop is not nearly as conducive to learning course material than taking handwritten notes. An article in Scientific American argues for students to leave their laptops behind and take out the ancient pen and paper. The article is based on research published by Princeton

and UCLA scholars, Pam Mueller and Daniel Oppenheimer.

Because writing takes up far more time and energy than typing, students are forced to process the information and write down a summary of what they understood from the lecture. Laptops, on the other hand, enable students to create rote transcriptions of what they hear without thinking. Taking notes by hand requires more attentiveness from the student, and when a student is paying attention, he or she tends to learn more and learn better.

“Their studies included hundreds of students from Princeton and UCLA, and the lecture top-

ics ranged from bats, bread, and algorithms to faith, respiration, and economics,” the article states.

Overall, laptop note taking was associated with lower retention of course material.

There are benefits to laptop note-taking. Copying material verbatim can sometimes be an advantage. In lecture-heavy, fact-driven courses, writing down everything the teacher says can be a key determinant of success. This is particularly true in courses such as Hawaiian or English, as looking up information later on can be difficult or fruitless. For example, it’s hard to Google the nuances

Get your life together

EUNICA ESCALANTE STAFF WRITER

of early Hawaiian spirituality and having the ability to jot down everything the teacher says will make your life much easier when studying. In English, likewise, all the rules of grammar must be written down strictly, and not causally interpreted. During lectures, one may not always have time to take thorough handwritten notes and could miss out on helpful details, such as example sentences. Furthermore, having access to a laptop in technology-based classes like computer science is often useful, if not necessary.

No matter what class you’re in, taking notes by hand seems to

be the better route to success in digesting material. While laptops may trump in convenience, efficiency, and are altogether easier to note-take with, it’s shown that people who take notes by hand retain more information. However, that doesn’t mean that laptops should always be left at home – many courses in this technology filled world will require more than just a pen and paper. However, if your main goal is retaining information, and a laptop isn’t a necessity, taking notes by hand may be your best bet.

All of us have experienced that moment in the beginning of the semester when we pledge that this semester is going to be different – this semester we are going to stay organized, we are not going to procrastinate and we are finally going to get our lives together. However, every pledge turns out the same results: we get lazy and end up spiraling down a rabbit hole of disorganization and missed deadlines.

To ensure that this semester is a success, the following list compiles several tried and true tactics that will transform you into a regular Hermione Granger.

Project CE IEN SC

HIS

DUE TOMORROW

TH MA

Keep a binder for each class It may sound a little dramatic, but having a binder for each class is the absolute truest way to stay organized.

Dividing your paperwork and assignments into binders can keep them from turning into one mess of a pile all over your desk. You can then further organize your work with color coded folders within each binder. This can also keep your work from being too daunting, as everything will be neat and organized so you know exactly where to start. You can now calmly go to class without needing to rummage through a pile of papers.

@ 11:00 A.M

Invest in a planner

Make an assignment schedule

Often times, getting organized is as simple as planning out important dates and tasks. It helps with laying out plans weeks and even months in advance. This allows you to gauge where you are — and what you should have accomplished — at any point in the semester.

Color coding different events can organize your thoughts and plans. You want your planner to be stressfree and practical; wasting time reading notes is confusing and a hassle. It may even make the whole process fun.

Buying a planner is one thing, but actually using it is another. Incentivize yourself by buying the most expensive planner you can afford. Realizing the money invested in the planner can motivate you to actually use it.

Being self-directed with assignments is important, especially since professors will not always remind you of deadlines nor extend them. Instead, many professors use a syllabus to state the assignments and their deadlines.

Make an assignment schedule to ensure that you never miss a deadline. This is different from writing in a planner in that you can organize every assignment from every class by date into one tidy list. You can keep this list on your desk, binder or phone to consistently remind you of your deadlines.

Use a spreadsheet program like Microsoft Excel to create a three-columned spreadsheet: one for due date, one for the class and one for the assignment.

You can update this as you learn about new assignments and deadlines.

(and actually use it)

Savvy shopping at the supermarket Knowing how to shop will save your precious dollars MASON HIGA STAFF WRITER

Students dorming for the first time must face this hurdle: preparing dinner on your own. Dialing up your favorite fast food joint too often will put you on the fast track to the “freshman 15,” but trips to the grocery store can turn into wallet-draining nightmares for the inexperienced. Instead of learning from mistakes, you can keep both yourself and your wallet in shape with these shopping suggestions.

Make a shopping list and stick to it Shoppers of all ages fall victim to the tantalizing lure of the wide assortment of temptations in the supermarket and rack up a large total at the register. Some get so caught up in the distractions that they end up forgetting to buy what they came for in the first place.

A list will keep your eyes focused on what you need while sparing your savings.

Consider buying generic Aside from the label that covers up the product, there are not that at t. many differences between a generic and a brand-name product. e One of the few differences is the price, where generic brands come o out on top as being more economical. Stores will be more likely to g offer sales and discounts on their own generic products, helping you save even more.

Read the Sunday advertisements Running into sale prices can make your day when you see them, but ut Sunday crowds will already have purchased many of the discounted items. Looking at the advertisements gives you a heads up so you can plan out your shopping run with the right products in mind and the right coupons in hand.

Sign up for and use a store discount card These free cards will allow you to gain additional discounts and benefits. Some advertised sales also require that you use one of these cards, which will prevent you from being disappointed at the register with the regular price.

Go during the non-peak hours During the regular hours when everyone tends to shop, the lines will be long and your customer service will be strained thin by the masses. Planning a shopping trip during the late evening can eliminate any waiting time.

Bring your own bags Now that the plastic bag ban has fallen over O‘ahu, bringing your own reusable bag has become more than just an eco-friendly gesture. The paper and biodegradable bags that stores now hand out can be cumbersome, which can make for an awkward walk with your groceries in hand. Some stores will also charge extra for their bags, which adds onto your bill. Perhaps the ‘āina is trying to drop you a hint.

BEING A GOOD STUDENT

S TAY I N G A C T I V E AT M Ā N O A

HENDRICKS HICKS STAFF WRITER

With a new school year comes new opportunities, and many students revel at the chance to reinvent themselves after the summer is over. Mānoa offers many ways for students to get involved on and around campus.

VOLUNTEERING Some say that giving is better than receiving, and giving your time to those who need it can be a beneficial experience for everyone involved. Furthermore, volunteering is a great way to meet people who are committed to making a difference.

There are always opportunities to volunteer on and off campus. From beach cleanups to homeless shelters, the aloha spirit is alive and well in paradise. Many non-profit organizations are dependent upon volunteer work in order to operate. Volunteering at homeless shelters in Hawai‘i can enlighten students about the poverty and housing problems in the islands. By working in the community, volunteers can see aspects of these issues that they may not have been aware of, and they are able to help those in need at the same time.

Pollution in our oceans is not a new issue, but living in Hawai‘i can bring the issue into perspective. Seeing the places you want to enjoy covered in litter and waste can be a disheartening experience. Volunteer work plays a major role in keeping our beaches clean.

REESE KATO / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

Get involved with the community by helping children.

CLUBS From professional clubs for accounting, business and finance to more casual clubs for poetry, theater and anime, there is a Registered Independent Organization (RIO) for everyone. By joining a club with people of like minds, you’ll learn things about your interests that you might not have discovered otherwise.

Many clubs offer the opportunity for social events. Getting to know other students, particularly ones with experience in a variety of areas, can give you insight on professors and tips on how to maximize your university experience.

Networking is another benefit of joining an RIO. With ties to industry leaders, being in a club can sometimes make the difference in an interview. Though there are no guarantees for better job opportunities by being in any organization, knowing someone on the inside never hurts.

Every student at one point or another wonders if they made the right decision and will be able to enjoy working in their field of study. But by being around people who share the same passions and interests as you, you can draw inspiration from them to help stay on track and work toward your goals.

ATHLETICS

REESE KATO / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

Baptist Collegiate Ministries hosts flag football game.

THE GREAT OUTDOORS A complaint among some locals is that there is little to do in Hawai‘i. What O‘ahu lacks in amusement parks or motor raceways, it makes up with unique island experiences.

Student Recreation Services (SRS) organizes hiking for students, faculty, staff and their guests. SRS also provides transportation to and from events, which relieves the burden of having to find parking.

With 43 sanctioned trails and numerous other unofficial hikes, O‘ahu is a great place to experience the outdoors. You can drive and park at most trailheads, and once you start, you begin to appreciate what the

island has to offer with its natural beauty.

Along with hikes, SRS also sponsors other events like surfing, kayaking, sailing and scuba diving.

Going to these events gives you the opportunity to meet people who enjoy an active lifestyle. Although everyone likes to go to the beach or on a hike every so often, it might be hard to find someone who is as passionate about these activities as you are. By participating in an SRS event, you can increase your chances of meeting people who share your same love of the outdoors.

All University of Hawai‘i students are given an athletics pass that allows them access to any regular season home game with a valid ID. This allows students the opportunity to show their school spirit and personal pride at sporting events.

A school sponsored committee, the Mānoa Maniacs, has prize giveaways and helps rally students at games. The committee was created to plan, implement and evaluate programming to enhance the student experience at athletic events.

With football season about to begin, students should be aware of the shuttle that is offered from the Mānoa campus to Aloha Stadium. This is convenient for anyone without a personal mode of transportation.

At events, students have an assigned seating area which enhances the school spirit experience. Many games are on campus, basketball at the Stan Sheriff Center, or baseball at the Les Murakami Stadium. With the convenience of the venues, it’s a must to stop by a game once in a while.

Whether you’re there to cheer on our Warriors or just to hang out with friends and enjoy a good time, you’re bound to have fun and meet great people at any of the sporting events at Mānoa.

THE CALIFORNIA DESERT SHANE GRACE STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

The most photogenic section of the canyon is named “the slot.” 

I decided to take a trip out to Anza Borrego a few hours outside of San Diego the other day. I had only heard great things and went out there with a few friends to create some images and enjoy Mother Nature’s beauty. I usually dislike the desert but this particular area was spectacular. We headed out there in the afternoon after spending the day in San Diego around UCSD with my little brother, eating huge burritos and bodysurfing in heavy kelp. We arrived around sunset and slept out in the open under the stars and it was spectacular. Luckily no rattlesnakes or scorpions cuddled up with us for the night. The next day we explored a slot canyon and discovered these odd metal figures sporadically placed throughout the wide-open space.

The “overhang section” of the slot. 

BEING A GOOD STUDENT

Three reasons why community college courses are worth it DAVID MCCRACKEN SPORTS EDITOR

When the time for registering for classes comes at the end of each semester, it is stressful for many students. Will I get all of my classes?

What happens if I don’t? If by chance you don’t get your course, don’t fret. Taking a course from a community college is an alternative option that can keep you from waiting another semester for that class to come around again.

KEN REYES / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

Residents pay $120 per credit for community colleges and $431 per credit at UH Mānoa.

Cheaper than a four-year university Let’s face it, college is expensive. Any penny a student can save can go to something worthwhile (e.g., Netflix subscriptions and food). You don’t have to pay an arm and a leg for community college courses and in Hawai‘ i, those credits will transfer to Mānoa because every community college is under the University of Hawai‘i branch. Classes such as Math 100 and English 100, which are difficult to register for at Mānoa due to the number of other students applying for a spot in the classroom, have multiple courses offered at community colleges. Have a full schedule? Remedial classes (including language classes) can be taken online, which will transfer to your four-year university.

Smaller class sizes

Lighter workload

Do you ever feel lost in those big lecture halls with 300 other students? It’s difficult to grasp a certain subject when there isn’t an interpersonal relationship with your instructor or with other classmates like there may have been in high school. Luckily, community college classrooms are similar to high school setups, particularly in size. With the average class ranging from 25-35 students, community colleges allow you to develop closer relationships with others and give you the opportunity to ask your instructor questions – without feeling as embarrassed as you would have in front of 300 other students.

Regardless of what your friends might say about community college, the workload is often much easier than a fouryear university. It’s not that the content is inferior, but students are given less strict deadlines for completion of the work and the teachers can be more sympathetic when accepting late work or excused absences than professors at UH Mānoa.

Tips for applying to graduate school SPENCER LOWE STAFF WRITER

Roughly 500,000 students start graduate school each year. If you are planning on being one of them, you had better be prepared for the application process. Here are a few tips to help you get through the complex graduate school application process.

START EARLY

NOTE HOW LONG THE PROGRAM TAKES

BE WHO YOU ARE

DON’T FORGET ABOUT YOUR GRE

LEARN AS YOU GO

You probably need more time than you think, so start early. That goes double for anyone who has transferred during undergrad. It takes weeks to gather the required materials, and each school will have different response times. Give yourself enough time so you don’t have to rush and possibly forget important items.

When deciding where to apply, make sure to note how long the program takes and whether it is a terminal degree or not. (Terminal means it’s the highest degree in that field).

Most master’s degrees are two to three years, but are usually not terminal (with some exceptions), then tack on another two if you are planning to get a Ph.D. (which is almost always a terminal degree).

Much like the undergraduate application process, the graduate application process is about finding a school that fits you. Getting into a great school is awesome, but being selected by a school that will value the person you really are should be your first priority. If you are going to pay more to continue your education, at least make it at a school where you can be you.

GRE stands for Graduate Record Examination. This test is like the ACT or SAT of graduate schools. You have to register and take the test before you apply to most graduate schools, although some schools don’t put much emphasis on it (and some don’t even want it). So find out if your schools require them and get signed up for the exam.

There is going to be a learning curve. I would recommend getting all of your materials together and going as far in the application process as you can for each school until just before you submit. Afterward, go back over all of your applications. You will likely find that your last applications are better than your first, since you have learned along the way. Then revise.

WHAT TO WATCH

Sports to look forward to at UH this year DAVID MCCRACKEN SPORTS EDITOR

It’s not always easy being a University of Hawai‘ i sports fan, but this year will be different, as every optimist once said. But more so than win-loss records of the UH football team or UH Athletics’ budgetary issues, the 2015-2016 year will be a year you want to keep your eye on.

WATER POLO The defending Big West Conference champions will be returning to the pool this year with the hopes of repeating last season’s success. The Rainbow Wahine lost three seniors from last year’s team, but retains sophomore keeper Ymane Hage and top scorer Caity Lopes da Silva who will be returning for her junior season.

The ‘Bows don’t start their season until next spring, but that doesn’t mean that there isn’t a lot to look forward to. After all, entrance to each water polo match is free and open to the public.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL Let’s keep things on the court, shall we? The Rainbow Wahine program experienced its most successful season in the program’s history, winning the Big West Conference regular season title while narrowly missing out on an invitation to the NCAA tournament this past March. Head coach Laura Beeman has returned despite various rumors surrounding her departure to the University of Utah and should be able to lead her young squad back to the top of the Big West.

Although the program lost Shawna-Lei Kuehu and Ashleigh Karaitiana, the Wahine have plenty of firepower left with Megan Huff and Connie Morris dominating the low-post.

SHOWTIME LAKERS The Los Angeles Lakers are returning to Hawai‘ i to kick off their preseason against the Utah Jazz at the Stan Sheriff Center. The Lakers may not have any direct involvement with UH Athletics, but it’s a very unique opportunity for UH and its student body to observe professional athletes and watch one of the most successful players in NBA history, Kobe Bryant, live in person.

The Lakers may be in rebuilding mode for a couple more seasons, but the roster is loaded with young and promising talent such as Jordan Clarkson, Julius Randle and D’Angelo Russell.

MEN’S BASKETBALL Last season was a whirlwind for the Rainbow Warrior basketball team. From losing its star player Isaac Fotu to losing its head coach in Gib Arnold on top of all the allegations facing the program, the Warriors were still able to make the Big West Championship final under interim head coach Benjy Taylor.

This season, however, Taylor is gone, and in comes new head coach Eran Ganot.

Wingman Negus Webster-Chan, who led UH in three point shooting percentage last season, left the program this past summer. A lot of changes have happened with this program over the past year, but the reality is that this is still a very young team with a lot of talent that can contend in the Big West again this season.

Date Spots Scrambling to find a place for a first date?

Don’t sweat it, we got your back IKAIKA SHIVELEY WEB SPECIALIST

So you finally got the nerves to ask that special person out. Now comes the next hard part - where to go? The possibilities are practically endless, but here are a few suggestions that will ensure a fun time. *Side note, these spots aren’t exclusively for dates. Friends like to have fun, too.

Movie Night

Sometimes you just want to remove the hassle of going out, so a night in is the perfect way to avoid the insanity of transportation, reservations and crowds.

Start off by having each of you pick a favorite film ahead of time; this shows you really care when you want to share something dear to your heart. A few hours before starting the movies, head to a grocery store to pick up ingredients for dinner. By making a homemade meal together, sparks may begin to fly as you create something together.

The Beach

The Fat Greek

Play Tourist

It may not be the fanciest restaurant, but it’s convenient. Whether it’s just a friend, a crush or a lover, “The Fat Greek” is the perfect spot to dine and relax. Since it’s B.Y.O.B., open a bottle of wine to loosen any nerves and make the conversation flow. The ambience is quite nice, with non-intimidating lighting and plants surrounding the dining area. If you aren’t sold yet, the food is delicious and affordable, too.

Grab your favorite aloha shirt, a white linen top, sun dress or something that screams tourist without being tacky. Once you’re ready, hit the town for a late afternoon or evening in Waikīkī. While parts of town are sketchy, the city does offer some beautiful locations. Remember to bring some extra cash so you can take your date shopping, visit street vendors and eat at a restaurant that doesn’t serve cafeteria food. “Top of Waikīkī” is a unique place to chow down, as the restaurant is on the 18th floor. A reservation will be needed since it is popular, so make sure to call ahead of time. A meal for two can run you over $50, so start saving those paychecks.

If it’s a Friday, find a spot on the beach to view the fireworks over the Hilton, which start at 7:45 p.m. A sky illuminated by bright colors is a romantic way to end the day.

You live in paradise, so why not share it with that special someone? Any beach will do, but for the best time, go to a secluded beach to avoid a crowd. Just on the other side of Diamond Head you’ll find several walkways along Kalanianaole Highway that offer fantastic spots to enjoy the sun. To make a bigger impression, make it a picnic. You can always go the classic sandwich route, but mixing it up wouldn’t hurt, either.

The water at these locations is shallow and perfect for wading.

WHY THE FOUNTAIN IN FRONT OF QLC IS

NEVER ON SHIINA LOSCIUTO STAFF WRITER

While doing a Google search of Mānoa’s campus, we see pictures all over the university, including the fountain in front of the Queen Lili‘uokalani Center (QLC). Has anyone seen it on? Here are a few theories I came up with to explain why this mysterious fountain is never functioning.

CATS CAR WASHES

HOT DAYS

Many people use the area in front of QLC as a dropoff and pick-up zone. It’s also a primary Rainbow Shuttle stop.

With a fountain containing running water, rinsing a car may be tempting. Students may have used so much water to clean their vehicles that UH Mānoa decided to turn the fountain off. The decision sped traffic up, as people no longer had to wait in the car wash line.

Between classes, students may see the fountain of water and mistake it for a tropical waterfall. Perhaps years ago, a few students wore their floaties to class, alarming professors, causing them to turn off the fountain. If true, this story could also serve as the origin for the norm of students frequently wearing swimsuits to class.

In the past, campus cats would often overheat due to their fur and would go for a dip in the fountain. Seeing the cats have so much fun during the day caused students to be distracted and jealous, so the university turned the fountain off.

While we may never know why the fountain is off or if it will ever return, we can always dream about reenacting the “Friends” opening credits in it.

Creating desserts

Desserts at Hale Aloha and Gateway Cafeterias are usually a rotation of pudding, cookies, Jell-O, cake, pie or ice cream. If this selection bores you, try the spin-offs below by using the ingredients and equipment around you. The recipes are arranged in increasing levels of difficulty. Calorie count is not provided, so proceed with caution.

ANGUSINA CAMPBELL / STAFF WRITER

ICE CREAM TACO (Gateway only) Make a miniature approximation of a Choco Taco. Put a cookie in the panini press. After pressing it the first time, rotate the cookie at a 90-degree angle and press it again, creating cross-hatch marks.

Use a cookie with a softer texture, as a crunchy cookie will crumble. Bend the cookie into a taco shape, being careful not to break the cookie in half. Line the bottom of the cookie with hot fudge sauce, if desired. Carefully scoop ice cream into the cookie and coat it in your choice of toppings.

MORE INFO

WHAT YOU’LL NEED ▪ Cookie, warmed and bent ▪ Chocolate Sauce ▪ Ice Cream

AFFOGATO Traditional affogato is made with espresso and gelato, but you can use coffee and ice cream instead. Scoop vanilla ice cream into a coffee mug, then pour coffee over the top. You can use haupia sorbet to change the flavor.

BANANA SPLIT Occasionally, Gateway Cafe serves banana splits. If they aren’t on the menu, here’s how to make your own. Put three scoops of ice cream in a straight line down the middle of a bowl. Traditional flavors are chocolate, vanilla and strawberry; but use whatever you like. Slice a peeled banana lengthwise and put it on both sides of the ice cream. Top with chocolate sauce, caramel, fruit sauce, sprinkles and nuts.

DIABTETES SANDWICH MORE INFO

WHAT YOU’LL NEED ▪ Sauce (hot fudge, caramel, strawberry) ▪ Banana ▪ Ice Cream ▪ Toppings (sprinkles, nuts) ▪ Bowl ▪ Panini Press

The Earl of Sandwich in Great Britain reportedly created today’s lunch staple, and you can make the dessert version. Toast two cookies in the rotating toaster oven. While they are still hot, spread the insides with peanut butter or honey from the toast section or chocolate or fruit sauce from the ice cream bar. Pile ice cream on one half and top with other cookie. Roll the edges in your desired ice cream toppings.

MORE INFO

WHAT YOU’LL NEED ▪ Sauce (peanut butter, honey, chocolate or fruit sauce) ▪ Two Cookies ▪ Ice Cream ▪ Toppings

COOKIE PIE MORE INFO

WHAT YOU’LL NEED ▪ Coffee ▪ Ice Cream ▪ Coffee Mug

Warm a cookie and crush it on a plate, creating a bottom crust.

Spread the top with ice cream.

Crush another cookie and coat the sides of the ice cream in the crumbs. Top with chocolate sauce and sprinkles. The fudge sauce will solidify against the cold ice cream, so if you want, make a fancy design on the top.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED ▪ One Cookie, warmed and crushed on a plate ▪ Crushed Cookie Crumbs ▪ Ice Cream ▪ Toppings ▪ Sauce ▪ Plate

Get to know your professors From the professors: Conversations help develop professional relationships MASON HIGA STAFF WRITER

DR. MARCUS A. TIUS

DR. KALANI MAKEKAU-WHITTAKER

DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY

KAWAIHUELANI CENTER FOR HAWAIIAN LANGUAGE

Some of the most powerful resources available to you are your professors. Introducing yourself and putting a name to your face might be challenging, but a professional relationship can help you reach your goals.

Instead of guessing what a good conversation might be like, learn how to talk to your professors from your professors themselves.

DR. ALLAN YASHINSKI

DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS

How can students get to better know you?

I don’t think it’s something that students should overthink. I like to think that I’m an approachable and friendly guy, and I’m not one for formalities. If they want to, students should feel free to introduce themselves after class or in office hours.

What should students do if they need help?

If a student needs help, all they need to do is ask. It’s really that simple. When a student is unable to come at the regularly scheduled office hours, I’m always happy to schedule an appointment with them at a different time. Questions through email are okay, too. The only thing I would add to that is to try to avoid showing up unannounced outside of regular office hours. If you need to meet at a different time, ask first to set up an appointment.

DR. VERONICA BINDI

DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS

How can students get to better know you?

Most teachers are happy to interact with students who are intellectually engaged, and will give their time freely to them when asked to do so.

How can students who are interested in your field turn their interest into a career?

Students who wish to learn about professional opportunities within the area of expertise of their professor should just ask. Almost everyone in the professoriate enjoys helping the new generation with their professional plans. One [of] the greatest rewards of teaching is witnessing the success of one’s students.

KARYL GARLAND DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH

How can students get to better know you?

As a student, try to have some conversations with the professor. It’s hard on the first day, but hopefully you can approach them once you feel comfortable doing that.

How can students work with you to build a stellar letter of recommendation?

I ask them for a narrative about yourself and what your goals are so that I can address those if I don’t know you that well. I get students who I’ve known half a semester and they tell me to write a letter of recommendation. All I can say is that you’ve been a pretty good student in this class and the student has been doing well so far. I can’t write much more than that unless I know the student a little bit more.

How can students get to better know you?

I think it’s wise for students to talk to their peers about who they’ve had for teachers and kind of get the word about what they think of a professor. You can google their name and you can find out what they’ve done professionally. And then, I encourage students to set times to go and meet with their instructors and their professors, especially if they’re stuck with something.

How can students work with you to build a stellar letter of recommendation?

The way that [a request] usually comes to me is through an email. I appreciate the fact that students have a pleasant greeting. Students often say, “I’m sure your schedule is so busy right now, however…” It’s nice to have that acknowledgement.

I like that those follow with a little something about yourself and what you’re looking to do. I always appreciate a follow-up to let me know what came of it so there’s a sense of closure.

How can students get to better know you?

Before every class starts, while I am waiting for all the students to arrive, I like to chat with the students already present in class. Sometimes it is about the previous lectures or the tests, some other times we discuss everyday life. Of course, when students come to visit me in my office, there is more interaction and we usually also chat a bit about ourselves.

When students have an interest in your field of study, how do you feel about working with them to pursue that interest?

I am happy to help my students in doing real research, but I am also very clear with them that they should focus on their first priority — classes — and never forget that they are at UH to graduate. I know it is more fun to work on research than to study, but it is not worth it if this negatively affects their studies. On the other hand, it is instead a very good practice if the projects help them become more focused on their studies while they are learning new and exciting things.

The filming for “Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates” took place at Turtle Bay Resort.

UH Mānoa student takes the big screen ERYN YUASA STAFF WRITER

If you plan on watching the new comedy “Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates,” you’re sure to notice a wide range of cast and crewmembers, including a face that you might have seen walking around campus.

“Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates” began principal production on O‘ahu during early June. Writers Andrew J. Cohen and Brendan O’Brien also collaborated on the scripts of Hollywood blockbusters like “Funny People” and “Neighbors,” the latter of which is set to have a sequel that also releases in 2016.

The main cast includes actors Zac Efron, Adam Devine, Aubrey Plaza and Anna Kendrick. Looking closer into the movie, however, we’ll see another connection from this movie to the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, and that connection is fourth year journalism student Janelle Guerrero-Miguel.

Guerrero-Miguel explained that she started off auditioning for a role as an extra in the popular “Hawai‘ i 5-0” series. Although she was not casted to the show at the time, her application was passed on to the director and casting member of “Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates” which lead to her role in the new movie.

“The [casting director] got my information, called me and said, ‘You seem fit for the part if you’re up for it,’ And I thought that it would be such a good experience,” Guerrero-Miguel said.

Although Guerrero-Miguel described the “Hawai‘i 5-0” open casting call as a “huge” event, she later found out from fellow extras that the casting call for “Mike and Dave” was even larger.

“There’s thousands of people willing to go for this thing … I’m not sure how they picked the cast, all

they told me was that they show our pictures to the casting director or the producers and they kind of pick out who seems like the best fit for the job,” Guerrero-Miguel said.

When she got to the set at around 5 p.m., Guerrero-Miguel was expecting a two or three-hour shift.

“We got there and they asked, ‘Who’s a first timer?’ and a couple of people and I raised our hands up and they were just like, ‘Just so you know this is an all night thing.’,” Guerrero-Miguel said.

Guerrero-Miguel and the rest of the extras stayed on set until 6 a.m. the next morning. She said that she was close to passing out around 2 a.m., and that one of the stars got a little cranky, which was understandable.

Although the shooting schedule was long, she announced her

good job!’ or ‘Oh hey nice work!’ or ‘Hey you guys thank you for coming out tonight!’ Adam Devine was hilarious. Everything that came out of his mouth was hilarious. They hold themselves up very well. It’s not like they walk by us and think that they’re better than you, or that they’re a celebrity and you’re not.

And Anna Kendrick, that’s when the whole star struck feeling came back for me. I would say that was my favorite part, getting to see them.”

Guerrero-Miguel encourages anyone who wants to pursue an opportunity like this to try for it, because the feeling of being there and getting to learn what it’s like behind the scenes was worth the long night of filming. The pay, she adds, also was worth the night.

She explained how the pay system for extras had an hourly basis and

excitement at getting to meet the included overtime pay.

The advice she would give, though, stars of the movie.

“I was sitting at this one table and is to simply be available to short Zac Efron and Adam Devine were sit- notice plans. Some of the extras in ting on the table right next to me,” the movie we’re informed that they Guerrero-Miguel said. “I got a really would be shooting the day before, good glimpse of them … they walked or the day of. She also explained the past our table and actually got so importance of keeping an open mind and staying positive. close I could smell them.”

Catch Guerrero-Miguel alongside Guerrero-Miguel laughed as she described her slight confusion at the rest of the cast in “Mike and Zac Efron smelling like pencils, and Dave Need Wedding Dates,” which Adam Devine smelling like a bowl 20th Century Fox plans to release of fruits, resembling certain Bath on July 8, 2016. and Body Works fragrances.

“They’re really humble,” Guerrero-Miguel said. “Especially Zac Efron, because he’s really nice.

ANGUSINA CAMPBELL / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

A standout player in high school, Burns looks to take her game to the next level.

Own what you got Natasha Burns and her accidental love affair with volleyball ANGUSINA CAMPBELL STAFF WRITER

Eighteen-year-old Natasha Burns’ volleyball career began in eighth grade gym class as a fluke.

“We had a [substitute] teacher in that day, and she was an assistant coach for the club Mountain Volleyball Club, MVC for short, so she invited me up to the practice,” said Burns, who is originally from British Columbia but moved to Hamilton, Ontario. “I ended up liking it.”

At 6-foot-5-inches, Burns, a middle blocker, stands a foot taller than the average American woman, about 5-foot-5-inches. As a toddler, doctors tested the incoming freshman for gigantism, a condition in which children grow abnormally large. However, the tests eventually proved negative – Burns was “just really tall.”

The Canada native described being pushed into lockers, having her hair pulled, being shoved to the ground and taking verbal assaults because of her height. Through the ordeal, she learned to have confidence and said that her height helped shape her character.

“When I was younger I was a lot more shy, I kind of slouched a lot,” Burns said. “Through the years I just learned that you can’t change some things, so you have to do the best with what you have, and to just own what you got.”

University of Hawai‘i women’s volleyball Head Coach Dave Shoji said Burns’ mental toughness and her ability to not be intimidated by the other players would help her in the long run. He said she was able to mix well with the team.

“Definitely coming from a long

ways off and especially a foreign country, it’s often difficult, but she seems to have adjusted really well,” Shoji said. “She’s a delightful, happy person.”

HAWAI‘I

Shoji said Burns may be the tallest player in women’s volleyball program history. He viewed volleyball footage of Burns, but in accordance with NCAA regulations, he did not see her play in person until the team began practice on August 10. Shoji said Burns has some physicality that gives her an advantage over other middle blockers.

“She’s got some natural blocking ability, which is the first thing I noticed about her,” Shoji said.

“She’s got a very decent vertical jump, which adds to her physicality.”

He said it was too soon to tell how

two-month silence from the university, she was allowed to decommit.

“I talked to Hawai‘ i when I was in Grade 11, and at that point they didn’t have any open scholarships, but it just so happened that when I talked to Hawai‘i in Grade 12 after I decommitted, that they had a scholarship open up,” Burns said.

“Then it was kind of just the stars aligned, let everything fall in place, so I ended up committing here.”

Burns said that she can’t sign a letter of commitment with the University of Hawai‘ i until one year after West Virginia University grants her release, explaining that it was a formality and would not affect her playing time.

Burns played for Mountain Volleyball Club for three years before

– NATASHA BURNS MIDDLE BLOCKER

Burns would contribute this year but added that she would be a player they would count on in the future.

“I think she’s a mentally tough person,” Shoji said. “She hasn’t backed down; she’s not intimidated by the other players. She seems to be holding her own. That’s another trait that will help her in the long run.”

Hawai‘i wasn’t always Burns’ first choice, as she initially committed to West Virginia University. However, after a coaching change and a

meeting Defensa Volleyball Club Director Rob Fernley.

“He taught me basically everything I needed to know to be a successful volleyball player in the States,” Burns said. “[He] taught me a lot of techniques that would help me get my scholarship and made me a better player overall.”

Fernley helped Burns build confidence and competitiveness through attention to footwork and speed. He said that Natasha had had no training

or skillset but was quick to catch on.

“She came from a program where they were possibly more focused on winning than developing, and being someone who is so tall so early, there’s a lot of lack of coordination issues,” Fernley said. “To me, she wasn’t a slow athlete at all, but she just moved slow, and so it was convincing her that ‘Hey, you’re a whole lot faster than this, and you have to move at this speed all the time.’”

Burns played for Defensa’s 17-under division in eleventh grade.

During her senior year, when the team lost too many players to continue, she played for the 18-under division at Halton Region Volleyball Club, or the Halton Hurricanes. The eight-girl team, ranked 20 out of 86, lost to the Calgary Dinos in the semifinals and eventually took fourth place at the Volleyball Canada Championships, becoming Ontario’s top finishers.

“All of us kind of had injuries, and we were fighting through it, and we’re definitely an underdog team. Most volleyball teams have 12 girls, nine girls, high numbers,” Burns said. “That was probably some of the most exciting games of my career right there. It’s a really amazing experience, seeing all those people around the court.”

WHAT’S NEXT

Burns broke her hand on August 19 during a practice. She said that she would try to overcome her injury through training and staying positive.

“Lots of legs and core,” Burns said.

“I have hand exercises for my fingers to keep my mobility, that I have to do every hour. Hardest part will be trying not to bang it or move it.”

I have a deep love for the ocean, and shooting surfers and waves is the best excuse I have to never get out of the water. I try to take photos that you can sit back, look at and feel like you’re in or feel what the surfer is feeling. My favorite kind of photos are the ones that remind you of how good it feels to duck dive a wave and have all that energy pass your face, adrenaline pumping and all. My favorite type of photos involve playing with the sun and light through waves, lens flares, and getting facial expressions and emotions. I do this because I love being in the water, I love giving surfers snapshots in time, and it’s a never ending challenge for myself to get better and better. My ultimate goal would be to be able to travel the world and be able to shoot exotic breaks and beaches.
