After a much needed summer break, I know that everyone has been anxious just thinking about the first day of school to start. A new academic year means starting fresh. The first time you open a book, the first all nighter you pull, the first Welcome Back party you attend – most of them will occur in the first month of semester. Regardless of whether they are good or bad, some of these “firsts” will become a habit. As the first issue of the semester, our staff has worked hard to bring you a quality paper. Full of useful information, campus news, the latest in sports and endearing comics, I hope that reading Ka Leo becomes a habit.

As a paper produced three times per week, I encourage you to pick up each issue from one of the stands on campus. Make it a habit to stay informed by going to our website, following us on Instagram, Tumblr and Twitter. Also, be sure to watch our video produced by UH Productions.

I hope you cry and laugh just like I did when I watched “The Office.”

Apple addresses changes at the university

KENT NISHIMURA KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Joseph Han Managing Editor Tuition, campus renovations, student safety and athletics will be among the top priorities for the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa this year, according to Chancellor Tom Apple.

“This is a year of making sure that we have an increased focus on student success … to make sure that students are getting those kind of experiences that transform them and make them passionate about what they are doing,” Apple said.

RISING TUITION, LOW GRADUATION RATES

UH Mānoa suffers from a 19 percent four-year graduation rate and is looking at tuition increases set to rise 33 percent during the next five years. Apple attributed the low graduation numbers in part to the need of students in Hawai‘i to work outside of academic pursuits.

“Eighty-five percent of these students who leave and stop out cite financial reasons as a major contributor,” Apple said.

“We realized that several years ago, and because of that, we dramatically have changed how we administer financial aid.”

This past fall, the university hardwired student schedules for 15 credits with the

option to opt out to 12, which is the requirement for fi nancial aid.

“It turns out that if you pick your major early, your chances of you graduating in a reasonable time period go up by 20 percent,” Apple said. “This coming year, we will give one in every five dollars collected in tuition back to students to help them finance their education. But that financial reason is almost certainly the reason our four-year rate is so low.”

“There will be naysayers who just don’t believe that we’re good enough to ever get there: I’m not one of them,” Apple said. “We have to believe in ourselves and take the appropriate actions to get there.”

Apple explained that a move to Division II would be a worst-case scenario. Without the support of tourism and stadium authorities, major donors and the public, the Chancellor would have to consider if funding should depend on the students.

DIVISION II OR PAC-12?

CAMPUS RENOVATIONS

Apple has previously expressed an interest in a potential move to Division II but also mentioned at a June 10 Quarterback Club meeting that he would like to see UH athletics in the Pac12, which will look to add teams. Apple wants to compete with these schools for faculty and grants, participate in big conferences and gain revenue from television contracts.

“That’s the hope, that with the right support from the entire state, that we can excel to the level on the athletic field that allows them to the Pac-16,” Apple said. “That’s ultimately the answer for successful financial outlook for the athletic department.”

Given the challenge of the university’s location and the associated travel costs, Apple spoke of the department’s long-term success as key to gaining admission to the Pac-12.

While talking about ongoing campus renovations, such as painting buildings to prevent corrosion, Apple stressed that the university must continually seek to look better.

“A lot of these (changes) are cosmetic, and to me they’re actually extremely important because a campus that’s presentable and beautiful makes it a better learning environment and more attractive to students and their parents who are thinking about coming to Mānoa,” Apple said.

When asked about the new student recreation center and its delayed construction, Apple explained that it is 10 months late and may be ready in November.

“They couldn’t support certain parts of the weight on the existing ground and had to firm that up and that was an unexpected

change … and the other problem had to do with a subcontractor who went belly up and that delayed acquisition of some of the procurement of the windows,” Apple said.

UPCOMING CHANGES

Apple intends on focusing his campuswide conversations around specific topics, with a recent one centered on staff and others planned to surround student concerns and campus security.

“We are actually in the process of interviewing another candidate for the position of head of campus security,” Apple said.

“We’re going to bring in a new director of security. We also do intend now to develop a campus police force.”

This development would require additional levels of training, and Apple also mentioned that in the first stages of the campus master plan, video cameras will be installed and swipe cards used for elevators for access to upper floors. He also mentioned installing LED lighting for brighter sidewalks.

“If you look at our crime statistics, we are one of the safer campuses … but there’s also the perception of being a safe campus, and that we don’t do as well on, so we’re perceived to be more dangerous than we really are,” Apple said.

Interim President Lassner aims to improve administration

Lassner will earn an annual salary of $325,008 as Interim President.

UH PUBLIC RELATIONS

Alex Bitter Senior Staff Writer

Though his selection was a surprise for some observers, University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s interim president hopes his experience managing the university’s technology infrastructure will be an asset as he looks at improving some administrative practices.

In particular, outgoing Vice President for Information Technology David Lassner said his more than three decades of working on UH Mānoa’s computing projects across the state have given him a unique lease on how the university system works. “[Information Technology Services] is the largest administrative unit at UH Mānoa,” Lassner said in a phone interview, adding that the projects he has worked on support everything from fiscal operations to distance learning programs.

CHECKS AND BALANCES On several fronts, Lassner hopes to continue the agenda set forth by outgoing president M.R.C. Greenwood and the Board of Regents.

“The Board has been clear about its priorities, and I agree with them,” Lassner said, explaining his support for initiatives ranging from increasing UH Mānoa’s educational capacity and faculty research to bringing President Obama’s Library and Museum to Hawai‘i.

However, the veteran UH administrator,

who was approved by the Board of Regents for a term that could last anywhere from six months to a year, said he would like to streamline some university business processes that are slowed down and made less effective by “having checkers checking checkers,” referring to the chain of approvals that most funding requests must pass through.

Lassner emphasized that such lengthy protocols have led to the development among intermediary officials of a “habit of signing off, knowing that it will be signed by someone higher up.”

Instead, he urged the use of auditing after an expenditure to look for potential savings, especially at the level of individual departments and programs.

Lassner also spoke about the need to provide accountability and “[determine] when risks are and are not appropriate.”

He acknowledged that the fiasco touched off a year ago when university officials lost $200,000 while trying to organize a benefit concert for the athletic department – dubbed the “Wonder Blunder” – was in part the result of poor risk management.

“It didn’t appear to me that anyone involved was focused on [the risk],” he said.

Lassner was involved in a risk of his own over a decade ago when he chaired a committee to select a software developer to create a new computer information system for UH. That company, Buzzeo Inc., delayed the $4.7 million order several times before going out

of business in 2001. At the time, Lassner told the Honolulu Star-Bulletin that from the beginning, he believed the deal to be “a long shot.”

Twelve years later, he said he is proud of how his team regrouped to develop an alternative after the company’s demise and that he still believes that taking risks is important, so long as all parties involved are aware of it.

“There is a tendency to never take risks,” Lassner said of the university. “If we spend all our time eliminating risks, I’m 100 percent sure that that isn’t a good solution for a research university like UH.” CAMPUS INVOLVEMENT Lassner first came to UH in 1977 as a graduate student on a one-year contract to help set up one of the university’s early computer systems. Although he intended to return to the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign, where he received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees, his contract was extended, and he ended up staying in Hawai‘i to work and study.

Throughout the late 1970s and into the ‘80s, Lassner held a variety of positions that involved working at the UH Computing Center, teaching computer science courses, providing technical support and setting up UH’s early network connections.

According to the incoming president, work in those early years took him around the UH system and familiarized him with the university’s reach.

“I’ve always been involved with all of the campuses,” Lassner said.

In 1989, he landed his first executive position as the Director of Information Technology. Today, after serving in multiple capacities in the university’s upper echelon Lassner said that he is “experienced in the ways of administration” and has worked with UH faculty and staff across the system.

That prowess could be tested if the Board of Regents doesn’t complete its search for a new president by year’s end With the opening of the 2014 legislative session next January, multiple university issues are slated for debate, such as the funding of pay raises written into existing employee contracts.

While admitting that many legislators may not know his name, Lassner said that he’s looking forward to developing a friendly relationship.

“I’d like to help them understand how they can support us,” he said.

Senator Will Espero, the state senate’s floor majority leader, said that he was “pleasantly surprised” when he learned o Lassner’s selection.

“It might be a refreshing choice, versus someone who (came) out of academia,” said Espero, who worked with Lassner on the Hawai‘i Broadband Task Force.

“He’s easy to talk to and work with,” Espero said. “I don’t think he’ll have any problem with the legislature.”

Richard Mizusawa:

ASUH prepares to accomplish more this year Noelle Fujii News Editor With a new year on the horizon, Associated Students of the University of Hawaiʻi is getting ready to do more than ever.

“ASUH is doing so much more this year than I have ever seen in the past few years being a part of the Senate,” ASUH President Richard Mizusawa said in an email interview.

According to Mizusawa, ASUH is continuing its efforts to enhance campus life by working with other groups on various festivities throughout the semester. The student-run senate also plans on coordinating community service projects.

ASUH will be launching a new website and opening up student forums for students to voice their concerns and issues directly to the senate.

ing and has increased ASUH Scholarships, Grad Test Prep and Research Awards throughout the school year.

“We increased our ASUH Scholarships, Grad Test Prep and Research Awards because of the increasing amount of students who apply for these awards over the past few years,” Mizusawa said. “Because of its popularity and because of the need for financial assistance in many of the areas of funding we provide, we believe it is important to help out in those areas to support the success of the students we

“ASUH does everything it can to let students know what we do as a senate, but to make things easier for them to both utilize the resources we provide plus have a say in what goes on at our campus, we wanted to launch a website that accomplishes these things and one that will be more user-friendly,” Mizusawa said. “We also want to create student forums that will be an open space for students to come to us to let us know the issues they are having so they know we’re listening to them.”

The new website will be more user-friendly and will include more information about each senate member and the goals and accomplishments they have. It will also include the senate documents, which will now be easier to find and access.

Mizusawa also hopes to enhance ASUH’s legislative efforts at the State Capitol and to work more collaboratively with Hawai‘i’s legislatures on legislation relating to UH Mānoa.

“I want to enhance ASUH’s legislative efforts in general because I believe that is what we should be doing as a student senate,” he said. “Being involved with our state’s elected senators and representatives is key in accomplishing what we do here at Mānoa, which is to improve our students’ educational experience on our campus.”

ASUH will also be continuing RIO Fund-

serve.”

This year will be Mizusawa’s second term as ASUH President.

“I decided to run for ASUH President again because I enjoy working with other students, faculty, staff, UH administration and community members to benefit the students of UH Mānoa,” Mizusawa said. “This past year has been amazing because I had the opportunity to not only meet many of our UH administrators who work for the betterment of student life, but also those out in the community who want to see our university succeed in everything we do for the students.”

Mizusawa hopes to improve ASUH’s relationship with the various departments, offices and people it can work with to impact the lives of the students it serves.

“I would like to also see what I can do to have more students know more about what ASUH is and how it can serve them, no matter in what way, shape or form,” Mizusawa said. “I want to have my Senate do more outreach to the students and ensuring that students feel that they can come to us with anything and know we’re there for them to support 110 percent. I also would like to see student life enhanced on campus and have my fellow constituents be proud to be a student at UH Mānoa.”

Getting around on campus MORGUEFILE

WALKING There is not a single place on campus that you can’t get to from anywhere else that takes longer than the 10 minute break in between classes. You might have to walk like you have a purpose, but it’s definitely doable, even if you have to get to the Hawai’inuiākea buildings from Sinclair Library. Be aware of the fact that other people have places to be too. Use some pedestrian courtesy and keep to one side of the walkway and always be aware of people on wheels.

MOPEDS Make sure you have a parking permit, as you will be ticketed without one. These guys are great for getting to campus if you live close by, and the cost in gas money is negligible.

However, they should not be ridden on the walkways of campus. There are multiple moped racks, all of which are accessible from the road.

SKATEBOARDING Skateboarding may be a cool and quick way to get around but be courteous to your fellow students. Nobody likes getting buzzed by a skater in a rush to get somewhere, and crashing into a pedestrian won’t be a good time for anyone involved. The aforementioned signs also refer to skateboards. That being said, they’re a great way to get from class to class quickly and efficiently.

Tim Metra Opinions Editor

At University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, we’re blessed with a fair-sized campus, but that means that getting where you need to go can take a bit of effort. Fortunately, there are a variety of ways to get where you’re going on time. Whether it’s one of those newly revived penny skateboards or your trusty feet, a little hustle and a lot of common sense will get you through the day safely and efficiently. The university recognizes that there are many forms of transportation and highly encourages the aloha spirit.

BIKING The UH Mānoa policy on “coasting devices” clearly says that biking is allowed but to follow pertinent signage. There are, in fact, signs that say to “walk your wheels” on the main thoroughfares, and they should be obeyed. A few extra steps won’t hurt you, and it will make the walkways safer for everyone else.

Make sure your bike is registered with the City and County of Honolulu and lock it up properly at one of the numerous bike racks on campus.

Where to park around UH Kim Clark Chief Copy Editor Finding free spots to park around campus can be challenging. If you get to school early each morning, you might be able to find parking on the street, but if you don’t have early morning classes, here are a few of the paid-parking options around UH. THE LOWER CAMPUS PARKING STRUCTURE Parking passes for Zone 20 were $142 this semester. If you weren’t able to get a pass, you can still park in the Lower Campus Parking Structure for $5 on weekdays. This structure is close to classes, so it fills up quickly.

RAINBOW SHUTTLE The shuttle is a free service for UH Mānoa students and staff and has regular routes covering campus, as well as several offsite parking locations. The shuttles are air-conditioned and rarely full, so they can be welcome breaks from walking, especially on hot or rainy days. The regular route maps and schedules can be found on the UHM commuter services website.

COURTNEY COOPER/ KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

DOLE STREET PARKING STRUCTURE If the lower lot is full, Zone 22 parking passes cover the Dole Street Parking Structure. Weekday parking is $5 here as well, but it’s a long walk to class unless you’re headed to the Kamakakūokalani Center for Hawaiian Studies.

THE VARSITY BUILDING Parking in the Varsity Building lot is $5 per day, so it’s more affordable than the visitor parking stalls.

There are usually spaces available here after the Lower Campus and Dole Street Parking Structures are full.

GREEN PAY-TO-PARK STALLS Now limited to three hours before 4 p.m. on weekdays, visitor parking in the green stalls is a good option if you are only on campus for a short time. The downside to these spots is that you have to estimate how long you’ll be parked to avoid getting a ticket if the meter runs out. This option can also be expensive at $2 per half hour.

THE JAPANESE CULTURAL CENTER The Japanese Cultural Center has parking permits available for $62.83 per month. Although it’s off campus, the Rainbow Shuttle stops by the cultural center, so you won’t have to walk to class.

were issued for reported burglaries 719 liquor law violations

319 drug-related violations Fadi Youkhana Contributing Writer Crimes such as forcible sex offenses, aggravated assault, burglary and robbery have all increased. According to the U.S Department of Education Campus Safety and Security data, 2011 had a higher on-campus crime rate compared to that of 2009. As a result, Campus Security and the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s administration have increased their efforts to prevent and combat on-campus crimes.

Sergeant David Andrade stressed that Campus Security has been trying to become more “customer service oriented,” meaning that CS is always available and willing to assist students.

“We’ve increased and upgraded our training programs for our security personnel,” Andrade said. “We also have recently upgraded our security equipment such as security cameras, radios and CCTVs.” Of the reported crimes, burglaries were the most common.

as reported in the 2011 UH Crime Statistics Mānoa Campus

In April 2013, offices in Moore Hall were burglarized twice within the same week and several computers were stolen.

Similar burglaries were committed in Fall 2012 to Dean Hall, Saunders Hall and Bilger Hall.

When asked why burglaries are the most common crime on campus, Andrade explained, “because it is a quick buck for criminals.” In response, the university has increased security to entrances and exits of buildings as well as improving the doors of offices to reduce break-ins.

LATE-NIGHT STUDYING Alvin Luo, a junior art major, often stays at the art building at night to complete his work.

“At night, the hallways of the art building seem unsafe.” He expressed that the campus can seem scary if you are walking alone in the dark.

Students may take advantage of the call-boxes, which are being upgraded, that are stationed on the campus and CS offers student escorts during the late hours.

Because the library is open 24/7, changes such as implementing the “9 p.m. No ID – No Entrance” policy at the library have increased the safety of the students and staff.

As a Sinclair front desk worker, Trisha Johnson is often checking up on students at the library after midnight.

She explained that Sinclair is a safe environment at night because the students who come to the library are “more mature and more responsible,” thus causing little to no trouble.

She also points to the security guard rotation that is present to ensure the safety of the students.

Despite all the changes and upgrades, the campus will not be 100 percent crime free. However, Campus Security offered some tips to increase safety: Travel in numbers and use the escort program as well as campus shuttles.

As Andrade suggested, use the around-the-clock help available by CS, and report anything suspicious as soon as possible because “security is everyone’s job.”

Where your student fees go WHAT DO YOU

Hannah Eccher Contributing Writer At UH Mānoa, student fees can amount to $345-$380 per semester for undeclared students. Whether the cost of your education is beginning to weigh down on you or you’re just trying to find something to do, it’s good to be aware of the options that are built into your tuition. As well as being aware of the cost associated with skipping class, it’s important for students to know what fees are paying for.

CHAR TERED S TUDENT ORGANI Z ATI ONS

(5 3 - 59 A PPROX . PERCENT ) Chartered Student Organizations are an alphabet soup of groups funded by student fees, each of which serves various student needs and desires throughout the year.

The Associated Students of the University of Hawai’i serves undergraduates, improving the quality of life for the newer student population.

The Board of Publications governs student publications such as Ka Leo O Hawai’i (that’s us) and Hawai’i Review, which is the student literary journal.

The Broadcast Communication Authority heads the student-run campus radio station, KTUH-90.3 FM, and the Student Video and Filmmaker’s Association – UH Productions falls under this category.

The Graduate Student Organization is much like ASUH, but focuses on improving the lives of graduate rather than undergraduate students.

The Campus Center Board is in charge of the Activities Council as well as the Recreation Board, which plans sports-related activities.

The Student Activity and Program Fee Board makes recommendations directly to the Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs, designating receipt of student fee money to all of these groups.

RESE ARCH

DESIRE? Top Amenities?

100% Student Communities?

Hotel Caliber Accomodations?

(1 A PPROX . PERCENT ) UH Mānoa is an esteemed research university, and as such, a portion of student fees goes toward paying for our research-related facilities. According to the UH Mānoa website, “this includes the Hawai’i Institute of Geophysics & Planetolgy, with laboratories in cosmochemistry, infrared spectroscopy, infrasound, paleomagnetics and Raman spectroscopy. The Hawai’i Institute of Marine Biology at Coconut Island offers year-round access to Kanē’ohe Bay as well as flumes simulating coral reef flat environments, reef microcosm tanks, controlled tidal ponds, and much more. The Institute for Astronomy conducts research into galaxies, cosmology, stars, planets and the Sun at its world-class astronomical observing facilities on O’ahu, Maui, and the Big Island.”

ATHLETI C S

(13 -14 A PPROX . PERCENT ) A portion of fees pays for students’ athletic opportunities. Aside from the wellknown athletics program, students also have opportunities to participate in recreational and athletic activities such as basketball, volleyball, Tai Chi, snorkeling and kayaking. Access to the gym is also free to students after fees have been paid, so be sure to stop by and take advantage of that.

LI B R AR IES

(4 A PPROX . PERCENT ) The libraries at UH Mānoa are also partially funded by fees, which includes not only the books and technology made available for students at a low cost, but also subject-specific help from specialized librarians and tutors who can offer academic help to struggling students. Hate chemistry? Ask-aLibrarian 24/7 online may be able to help. There is a presentation room available for practice speeches and group-study spaces as well.

HE ALTH AND TR ANSPOR TATI ON (28 -31 A PPROX . PERCENT )

Part of our fees pay for the UPASS offered to undergraduate students during the fall and spring semesters, and another portion is designated to offering inexpensive healthcare through the University Health Services. Students have access to the clinic located along East-West Road at a much-reduced cost in comparison to visiting a regular clinic on the island.

Kelly Sloan, Staff Writer

EATING HABITS

EXERCISE HABITS

SLEEPING HABITS

Ramen, frozen dinners, soda and a bag of chips: These items are among the most popular purchases by college students due to their addicting flavors and affordable prices. Make a plan so you don’t fall back into these poor eating habits.

Limit foods and beverages that are high in fat, sugar and salt. These items provide needed calories but not much else. Wiser choices include nonfat milk or yogurt, tortilla chips and salsa, or peanuts and raisins.

Instead of buying processed meals, purchase fresh whole foods such as whole wheat bread, nuts, fruits, vegetables and dairy products. Try oatmeal in a cup for breakfast, have a turkey tortilla rolled up with lots of veggies for lunch and enjoy a chicken salad with vinaigrette or light dressing for dinner. In addition, better snack choices during the semester can lead to good health and more energy for those full days of classes.

Walking to class while carrying a backpack, purse or books daily can strengthen your muscles and core without you even knowing it. These items can actually act as homemade weights and tools to help stay fit for the school year.

Exercising daily gets the blood flowing and the heart pumping. Starting a workout schedule and continuing it during the semester is easier said than done. Make a plan using these tips:

Getting into a daily sleep routine is not easy, especially after a summer of staying up late and sleeping in. Transitioning from sleeping till noon to waking up at six or seven in the morning can be difficult for college students, especially those with block schedules. Some days you have one class and others you have five, but despite the number, your energy level can go from high to low by the end of the day. To maintain energy throughout the day and not feel tired or grumpy, you need to get enough sleep.

JESSICA SWENSON/ KA LEO O HAWAI‘I, TSMALL/ FLICKR

1) After a workout, reward yourself with time put away to read a book or watch a favorite TV show.

2) Set up a schedule of going to the gym once a week for a month, then progress to two times and then three until you are comfortable.

3) Find a supportive friend to exercise with. During my spring semester, I got up every day at 6:00 a.m. and walked with a friend before class. It was a great way to start the day.

1) Get on a schedule. Once you figure out your class and study schedule, stick to it and try to get to bed about the same time each weeknight. Those who play sports may have a tighter schedule but will probably fall asleep faster.

2) Don’t go to extremes on the weekends: “Work hard, party hard” may be a motto for college students, but it can backfire on the weekend. You can still have fun, but keep your ultimate goal of the school routine in the back of your mind.

3) Talk to your roommates and be considerate. If they are sleeping, don’t make unnecessary noise or turn on lights.

How to conquer procrastination Noelle Fujii, News Editor

D O CO M PLE TE A LL O F YO U R A SS I G N M E NT S

The best time to do this would be within a day or two of receiving the assignment. It’ll make things less overwhelming for you as the assignments start to pile up, and you’ll have a better chance of having time for the beach during the weekend because you won’t be doing homework all in one day to catch up.

D O N ’ T OVE R LOA D

You’ll stress yourself out by trying to do everything at once, and the distraction of stress will impede on the quality of your work.

D O AVO I D M E D I A

D O N ’ T SU R RO U N D YO U R SE LF W I TH D I S TR AC T I O N S

Turn off all phones, TVs, social networking sites and other media that will distract you. Distractions like a TV show or your Facebook newsfeed will divert your attention and only prolong the work that you know you need to finish.

Procrastination is an infectious disease, and other people can keep you from your work. If you have to be around people (i.e. for a study group), make sure that they are just as focused, if not more, on getting things done.

D O N ’ T G I VE U P

You can avoid procrastination and all the stress that comes with it if you stay positive and focused. Take breaks if you have to; stand up and stretch every half-hour or grab a quick bite to eat. Make sure your breaks aren’t too long, or you will lose focus and further ignore what you need to get done.

D O SET R E A SO N A B LE G OA L S

If you have goals set, you’re more likely to be motivated to get everything done. Making a daily to-do list will help you prioritize what needs to be finished and help you feel accomplished once you start checking things off.

Ka Leo Arts Festival and Groove in the Garden

Joseph Han Managing Editor Every year Ka Leo puts together events alongside KTUH and UH Productions. Join us for these promising days to break up the monotony of your school week.

KA LEO ARTS FESTIVAL ART

Nine thousand students and members of the

FOOD MUSIC community attended last year’s Ka Leo Arts Fes-

tival, which brought more than 50 performers and artists. The Arts Festival strives to highlight the work and talents of students and local artists. The art building held studio demos, gallery exhibits, film screenings and printmaking demonstrations, and various groups such as the Glass Art Family, Surfrider Foundation, Conscious Canvas Tattoo and the Confucius Institute participated. Students also presented their work and took requests to create pieces for individuals.

With last year’s festival being awarded first place in the nation for Best Event Plan and Promotion at the College Newspaper Business and Advertising Managers conference in San Diego in April, the third annual Ka Leo Arts Festival looks to excel once again. Expect involvement from various campus departments, entertainment provided by KTUH, live performances by artists and other musicians, food vendors, interactive art activities and a half pipe brought by Red Bull. After the festival, head to Mānoa Gardens at Ba-Le for the Art Garden after party and more art displays.

Five reasons why you should take advantage of Media Week Jackie Perreria Features Editor What is Media Week? Student media organizations Ka Leo, UH Productions and KTUH join forces to host a week where we showcase what we do and how students can get in on it. Look for us around campus from Sept. 9-13 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

1. A POTENTIAL JOB OPPORTUNITY

Because we are student-run, all three organizations are always looking to hire. No experience is necessary.

We’re just looking for students who have a desire to learn, work with others and improve their skills, whether that be in writing, editing, communication, graphic design, photography, drawing or making videos. What will your piece of paper saying that you graduated with a degree mean if you have no work experience on your resume?

2. YOU’LL GET A GLIMPSE OF WHAT IT’S LIKE

Ka Leo, UHP and KTUH staff will all be around campus, so if you’re concerned about managing the demands of a job in media alongside your schoolwork and other responsibilities, it’s a chance to meet students who already do it.

It’s also a chance to get a better feel for what we do. We can give you an in-depth description of whichever job you’re interested in, what’s expected of you, how much time you’ll need to put in and the benefits of the job.

3. GET ACQUAINTED

Due to scheduling conflicts, it can be difficult to meet face-to-face with editors or managers, but during Media Week we’re all there (albeit at different times),

ready to meet with potential staffers. So in the future, if you have any questions regarding your friendly university media organizations, you can get to know who we are and stop us on campus.

4. WE CAN HELP YOU NARROW IT DOWN

If you’re interested in working for any of us but don’t know exactly what you’d like to do, then we’re more than happy to discuss what your options are. There are a variety of aspects to each organization and many different jobs to apply for. We will start with what your interests and passions are and then find what suits you best.

5. COLLABORATE WITH US

If you’re affiliated with another organization on campus or have a pitch or suggestion as to how we can collaborate with you, Media Week is the time to let us know.

Find us around different parts of campus on these days MONDAY: McCarthy Mall TUESDAY: Legacy Pathway WEDNESDAY: Shilder THURSDAY: Hemenway Hall FRIDAY: Open house PHOTOS COURTESY OF KA LEO O HAWAI‘I AND UHP

WE ARE YOUR STUDENT MEDIA

The words “on-campus job” typically T evoke evok stagnant images of one sitting behind a desk de and answering a phone all day, but when it comes to UH Productions, it means going to events, creating films and using pricy camera equipment. For film-lovers and makers alike, it is an opportunity to see what you can create cinematically or for segments like “Da Scoops,” where they interview students on subjects like raves and dorm life.

“Besides creating content like ‘Da Scoops’ and shorts films, we also cover events on campus like Aloha Bash, host Groove in the Garden alongside Ka Leo and KTUH and hold video contest like our Fall Film Challenge or 72 Hour Film Challenge, which gives students on campus opportunities to win some prizes,” said UHP General Manager Blake Abes in an email interview.

“Every month we’ll make four different videos, one each week. First week is a ‘Coaches Corner’ or ‘Warriors Highlight.’ which is an interview of a coach or student athlete.

WE ARE YOUR STUDENT MEDIA

The words “on-campus job” typically T evoke evok stagnant images of one sitting behind a desk de and answering a phone all day, but when it comes to UH Productions, it means going to events, creating films and using pricy camera equipment. For film-lovers and makers alike, it is an opportunity to see what you can create cinematically or for segments like “Da Scoops,” where they interview students on subjects like raves and dorm life.

Joseph Han Managing Editor Coming up on 45 years of existence with shows every day of the year, KTUH carries on show “the station that loves you” and emphaas “t sizes moving from radio waves to streaming content to be available wherever you go. cont KTUH will also continually have a presK ence on campus and provide information through its programming, public service anthrou nouncements or community, campus and noun events calendars that let students know what’s even

“Besides creating content like ‘Da Scoops’ and shorts films, we also cover events on campus like Aloha Bash, host Groove in the Garden alongside Ka Leo and KTUH and hold video contest like our Fall Film Challenge or 72 Hour Film Challenge, which gives students on campus opportunities to win some prizes,” said UHP General Manager Blake Abes in an email interview.

UHP is a student-run organization, meaning its staff and managers also attend UH. Although they already have a presence on campus, this school year UHP is looking to ex-

going on. KTUH will also collaborate with Ka Leo to funnel news into a broadcast, provide a sports show in conjunction with games, air shows from local bands every week through Monday Night Live and put together another Renewal concert at Campus Center.

pand their coverage with consistent monthly segments to be posted on their YouTube channel uhFILMproductions. They also plan to produce more short films that are written and filmed by UHP staff.

“Every month we’ll make four different videos, one each week. First week is a ‘Coaches Corner’ or ‘Warriors Highlight.’ which is an interview of a coach or student athlete. Second week is ‘How We Do It’ where an athlete shows off a skill in their respective sport. Third week features a show called ‘Why Hawai‘i?’ featuring an athlete in an interview stating

“It really goes back to the challenge for us to make sure that students feel welcomed in publishing with us and also continuing to broaden our reach beyond our shores to see what other writers out there know about us and want to send us as well,” Roy said.

She hopes that featuring authors within the university circle on the website will inspire students to join the literary community themselves. “[Hawai‘i Review’s] responsibility is continuing to remain relevant and engaging and having interesting conversations and providing forums to publish pieces that need to be out there that otherwise maybe can’t find homes at other venues.”

Hawai‘i Review will also explore how content may adapt online with readers being able to respond to pieces or submitters performing their work through audio or video.

“It’s a journal that exists for UH students,” Roy said. “And it’s by us too.”

ENGAGING STUDENTS Hawai‘i Review is always looking for volunteers to help out by reading and reviewing submissions and is willing teach others about publishing. Roy also dismissed notions that contemporary students are less interested in literature and writing.

“As long as people are invested, as long as the literary community is alive, there will never be a real crisis around publishing,” she said.

She offered some advice for hesitant writers: “Just take a chance, unless this is really private journal writing, more often than not you’re imagining some kind of audience, and if you’re sitting on something that you think is ready but you want to have out there, then this is a venue for you,” Roy said.

discover the latest in campus news. Becoming a designer offers you the chance to exercise your creativity by putting together covers or layouts. If you’re passionate about television, music or fashion, Ka Leo allows you to publish recaps of the latest in television, review what’s enticing in music or write columns on the latest trends – whatever you care about, you are given to freedom to write about and reach your fellow students. Want to argue for a cause or make a case for some social commentary? Be heard by writing for Ka Leo. JOINING THE STAFF Ka Leo will provide you with a network of helpful, smart people. The staff is friendly and will ensure that you get accustomed to the demands of deadlines and improve your abilities in meeting your goals. They will connect you with people to meet and information you need. The desk editors are always ready to encourage and advise you on your assignments, critique your work and challenge you for an overall stimulating and engaging work experience.

This gives you the opportunity to work on skills outside of your comfort zone. Although you might start out as a copy editor, you can end up writing articles and find your abilities at Ka Leo increasingly well-rounded.

The atmosphere is often busy, but as your work begins to surpass your expectations, the time spent on assignments will be worth your efforts and you will be met with more ways to challenge yourself. The teamwork and friendships that you develop along the way will be worth it and make your college experience at UH Mānoa a dynamic one.

students,” Jefferies said. “The idea is to teach our DJs to communicate with the community of students.”

DJ Vina, host of the show “The Business of Getting Downe!” every Tuesday from 12-3 p.m., noted how working for KTUH has allowed her to become more involved with the community.

“I’ve met some of the coolest people at the station,” DJ Vina said in an email interview. “I’ve networked with so many people in the entertainment industry. Doing my weekly radio show is my favorite time of the week and I spend hours preparing music to play on my show.”

KTUH hopes to provide a place for students to have conversations with other people, overcome anxiety in communication and be more active on campus. Anyone with a passion for music can become a DJ. “Students should apply because they get a lot of hands-on experience,” Jefferies said. “You learn a trade that you can obviously use: If it’s not something on air, it’s something with a production.”

With a big agenda ahead of them, UHP hopes that more students will be inclined to join their staff.

“Honestly we are looking for people who are willing to work hard and learn how to work well with others. … No experience is needed because we are willing to teach everyone. …

No one in UHP knows everything and we are not a professional company, but we are students who learn from each other,” Abes said.

UHP is a job in the sense that it pays via stipends, meaning the work a staffer puts in determines the amount of their stipend.

In addition to getting paid, UHP gives students the chance to collaborate with others who share an interest in film, allowing them to participate in the stages of video production and use equipment that they may have not been able to otherwise.

“That to me is the best type of learning: You learn from your peers with out the stress of being graded by a teacher and you learn along side other students with the organization,” Abes said. “The goal of UHP is to provide the students of UH an opportunity to learn how to make a video without going to a class or paying thousands of dollars in equipment you don’t know how to use.”

‘THE WOLF ON WALL STREET’

Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio team up once again, this time telling the true story of Jordan Belfort (DiCaprio), a stockbroker who avoids complying in a securities fraud case on Wall Street. Chronicling his rise spurred by his desire for lavishness and decadence, this film will also examine Belfort’s downfall via money laundering and fraud.

Expect a great deal of fun with Jonah Hill, Matthew McConaughey, Jean Dujardin and Kyle Chandler also starring.

‘THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE’

Winning the 74th Annual Hunger Games forces Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) to go on a “Victory Tour” of each district. The potential for rebellion spurs through Panem, but the Capitol will intervene as the hope for an uprising grows by preparing the 75th Annual Hunger Games, which will choose tributes from the existing pool of previous victors.

The cast includes Liam Hemsworth, Elizabeth Banks, Woody Harrelson, Lenny Kravitz, Donald Sutherland, Stanley Tucci and newcomer Phillip Seymour Hoffman.

Kennedy Theatre has much to celebrate this academic year. After years of performance excellence, the theatre is celebrating its 50th anniversary.

There will be at least four showings on the Kennedy Theatre main stage and at least five in the Earle Ernst Lab Theatre.

One of the showings that will appear on the main stage during this upcoming year is “Lady Mu and the Yang Family Generals,” which is a Jingju, or a Beijing opera. This particular performance will feature student talents ranging from combat and martial arts to dance and song.

According to Kennedy Theatre manager Marty Myers, the performers will receive extensive training from three guest artists flying in from China who will be with the performers for six months. Costumes for the performance will be flown to the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa from China.

The Jingju will be performed in English, which will make the performance one of the few in the world of this kind, according to Myers.

This particular performance alone costs $236,000 to produce, which includes the cost of props, costumes and other items necessary for training the performers and producing the opera. The funding comes from ticket sales and other sources including the theatre department itself. Kennedy Theatre also receives fund-

ing from the Student Activity & Program Fee Board.

According to SAPFB Chairperson Sydnee Saenz, the program gave more than $100,000 to the theatre to help subsidize ticket costs last year alone. That number has been increasing every year, according to Myers. These costs being covered by SAPFB allows students to purchase tickets to showings for $5 or less, and students would otherwise be required to pay more.

“We’re servicing the students that are here now, and we look to give them a variety of opportunities to perform in different styles,” Myers said.

Other performances will pay tribute to the theatre’s 50th anniversary, such as “Looking Back, Moving Forward,” which will be performed as a dance concert and will feature alumni choreographers, and “Big Love,” which was cast last semester and follows the story of 50 brides and grooms.

The theatre is also starting new projects that will honor the past five decades. Some of these projects include large-scale projections on the theatre every opening night, which will provide audiences with a living history of the theatre, slide shows of performances displayed at the beginning of every show and a new Hawaiian theatre department, which will be producing a new play expected to be performed on the main stage in the 2014-15 academic year.

POW WOW HAWAIʻI

Pow Wow Hawai‘i is the perfect gathering to check out murals and street art that is created during the week. Local and international artists team up with an eccentric vision to bring life to their artwork with a message to send out to the community, such as raising awareness for different causes or expressing a story. The canvases of walls are refurbished weekly to allow fresh creativity to light up the area. The painting process is also open to the public, letting the audience engage with the artist as they see the work-in-progress. Pow Wow also hosts an annual mural festival that boasts its best murals and artists from around the world.

FOOD

TASTE

Taste is for all the food aficionadas who savor adventure and love to try new things. Located on Auahi Street, Taste is essentially a kitchen space that budding chefs can utilize to feature their talents and experiment on different recipes and serve those who step foot into the quaint grab-and-go shop. However, the beauty of Taste lies beyond giving, promising talents an opportunity to whip up and display their craft in cooking: It also allows the adventure-seeker to satisfy their craving for something fresh and new with the variety of food that the chefs make. Check out tastetable.com to see who will be serving the latest cuisine.

ART & FLEA (SEPT. 26)

A more hip version of a local swap meet, Art & Flea draws a crowd of both vintage and entertainment lovers. This event is hosted by Fresh Café every fourth Thursday and features vendors that sell a range of vintage or handcrafted items range from art, jewelry, clothes, bags and trinkets, to other items.

Aside from the flea market, local musicians and bands also get to broadcast their talents by performing music for the crowd. Art & Flea also supports local vendors, businesses, and artists by providing an environment where they can platform their creations and crafts, while promoting the emergent art culture of Kaka‘ako.

Auahi Street is closed for this night as the road and sidewalks fill up with a range of local food vendors, art exhibits from up-and-coming artists, shopping stands and fashion shows and live entertainment from local artists. They also feature a main event that ties to different monthly themes. With the edgy and hip ambience wrapping around a lively night fest, it’s no wonder that college students flock to this event. While drawing in the young and the restless for a good night’s fun, their support also creates opportunities for small businesses, artists and entertainers to showcase their products and talents to the community.

Rainbow Warriors prepare to ‘shock the world’

LEILANI PORTILLO/ KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

The Rainbow Warriors will go up against Oregon State on November 25 in its second game of the season.

Fadi Youkhana Contributing Writer In their second season competing in the Mountain West Conference, the Rainbow Warriors look to improve their 3-9 record from the previous season.

The Warriors will open their season against a pair of top-drawer opponents, beginning with 24th ranked USC at home this Thursday, then traveling to Corvallis, Ore., to take on the 25th ranked Oregon State Beavers.

While beginning the season against two ranked opponents is a tough task, the Warriors are ready for the challenge.

“Our first two games are against ranked opponents, it’s going to be hard but we’re excited,” said sophomore offensive linemen Ben Clarke.

Starting as a freshman center last season, Clarke helped

anchor the offensive line and this season was named to the Rimington Award Watch List, the award given to the nation’s top collegiate center. Clarke pointed out that facing elite competition will only help the Rainbow Warriors in the long run.

“We know beating ranked opponents will show everyone else what we have, and it will mean a lot more and then hopefully will get us ranked too,” Clarke said.

Improvements to the offensive side of the ball are sorely needed if the Warriors are to win more games this season. In 2012, the Warriors’ passing attack ranked 101st in the overall FBS rankings at 189 yards per game, and the Warriors ranked 102nd at 21.1 points per game.

At the end of the last season, offensive coordinator Tommy Lee decided to retire, and head coach

Norm Chow hired Aaron Price to replace him. It was recently announced, however, that Price is no longer with the team for undisclosed reasons.

“It was a difficult decision to make,” Chow said in a UH press release. “The timing is unfortunate as we begin fall camp. Some issues have arisen and we’ve decided to move forward without Aaron.”

But even with the loss of Price, the Rainbow Warriors are hoping that another new face will help change the offense’s fortunes.

A former four-star recruit out of high school, junior quarterback Taylor Graham will look to replace Sean Schroeder as the starter. Graham attended Ohio State for two years, redshirting in 2010, transferred to UH in 2012 and sat out last season under NCAA transfer rules.

After close to three seasons of

limited play, Graham is ready to get back on the field.

“I’ve put in my time, I believe,” Graham said. “I’m just appreciative for the opportunity here in Hawai‘i. To be able to come here and play with these guys, I really enjoy being a part of Hawai‘i. The people here have welcomed me, so I’m thankful for where I’m at.”

But while the Rainbow Warriors are feeling hopeful for a bounce back year, the rest of the Mountain West believes differently. In the preseason polls, Hawai‘i was picked to finish sixth out of six in its division.

“Speaking with the boys, it puts a great chip on our shoulder,” said senior defensive tackle Siasau Matagiese. “You know, people aren’t expecting much from us this season, but our whole thing for each other is that we’re going to shock the world. Doesn’t matter where or how we do it. We’re go-

ing to shock the world.”

In addition to upgrades on offense, the Warriors will look to utilize their strengths from last season.

Lead by defensive coach Thom Kaumeyer, Hawai‘i’s pass defense will try to replicate the success it had last season. The Rainbow Warriors ranked 11th nationally in passing defense, holding opponents to only 182.8 yards per game.

In all, the team will welcome back eight starters on defense and seven on offense.

“We’re coming back all together with more experience, [and] we’re looking pretty good,” said senior defensive back John Hardy-Tuliau.

“We have a lot of starters coming back on defense, and we got Taylor Graham – I think we’re looking pretty solid as a team.”

Meet the UH football quarterback:

Taylor Graham Kirstie Campbell Staff Writer Taylor Graham, the rising quarterback for the fall season, has surpassed expectations.

As he transferred to the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, he was an asset to the team. As an international business major graduating in the fall of 2014, he has distinguished himself as an integral part of the UH football team and yearns to become a leader and improve over the new season.

lead over backups Jeremy Higgins and Sean Schroeder.

LI FE I N H AWA I ‘ I

While some may call him the hope of the UH football team, Graham is quiet about his achievements but is passionate about football in Hawai‘i.

“My favorite part about being on the team here is the people,” Graham said.

“All the guys on the team are fun and easy to get along with. The coaches care about

“I’m inspired to work hard and play each day because I enjoy playing the game.”

- Taylor Graham

TRANSFERRING OVER

Taylor Graham was a four-star recruit from Wheaton North High School in Illinois.

ISMAEL MA KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Graham came to UH Mānoa from Ohio State University last year. At Ohio State, he redshirted as a 6-foot 5-inch, 235 pound freshman and played as a backup his second year.

Although given less game time than he desired, Graham was still optimistic.

“I learned a lot and valued my time at Ohio State,” Graham said in an email interview.

Although he had spent his life in Ohio, his move to UH Mānoa was justified by the local atmosphere he found.

Head coach Norm Chow primarily influenced him in his transition.

“The reason I originally came to UH was to play for Coach Chow and learn from him.” Graham said. “I try to soak up as much as I can.”

As a newcomer to UH Mānoa, Graham redshirted under NCAA guidelines for a semester.

As spring practice began, competition for the quarterback position intensified.

His lack of UH Mānoa game experience and time as a backup looked like possible handicaps for Graham, but his spring practice records excelled and caused a narrow

us as individuals. … Any environment like that promotes hard work and dedication.”

As the University of Hawai‘i overcomes a low record (3-9; 1-7 Mountain West) and adds further improvements to the athletics department, Graham remains confident about the upcoming fall season.

“Last year, we did not win as many games as we would have liked, but we are working extremely hard this offseason. ... We are all very excited and looking forward to this season,” he said.

U P CO M I N G G A M E S

Graham will play his first game at Aloha Stadium on August 29 against the University of Southern California, a game that has already been marked as possibly the last time UH will take on USC at Aloha Stadium.

“Any game at Aloha Stadium is special,” Graham said. “I’m inspired to work hard and play each day because I enjoy playing the game and I realize that it can be taken away at any moment.”

All UH students with a validated ID are welcome to attend for free, and shuttles will take students from UH Mānoa to the stadium.

ISMAEL MA / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Maddie Sapigao Senior Staff Writer Winning has become a habit for the University of Hawai‘i women’s volleyball team, winners of 18 consecutive conference titles between the Big West and the Western Athletic Conference. This year is expected to be no different, as the Rainbow Wahine will be a force to be reckoned with once again. The Wahine will be returning six of the seven starters that took the Big West Conference by storm last season.

“The whole team is on the same page this year - in it to win it,” said senior outside hitter Emily Hartong. “We’ll do anything we can to win a national title.”

The Rainbow Wahine had an impressive 18-0 record for their first appearance in the BWC. Hawai‘i shouldn’t have a problem taking on the BWC again, but they are being cautious.

“That definitely gives us a target on our backs for the other teams in the Big West, so I think we need to remember that,” senior setter Mita Uiato said. “And just go in with that mind set into practice and work hard to do it again this year.”

Along with the returning starters, the ‘Bows are stacked with seven seniors to help lead in every way for a successful season. Among the seniors are Hartong, Uiato and libero Ali Longo.

“I think it helps a lot,” Uiato said.

“Each senior will bring a kind of leadership, and we aren’t all the same kinds of leaders. Each person will bring maybe a vocal or lead by example kind or weight room kind. Different things like that would help us. Not just one person but all the weight kind of distributes between seven of us.”

CH A N G E S

One major change for the Rainbow Wahine is the loss of starting outside Jane Croson, who transferred to the University of Arizona after last season. She was suspended from playing for two weeks during the season for not following team rules. Although she was a big asset to the team, the Wahine feel they will be fine without her.

“We kind of grew as a team without her, and I think we kind of saw it in the future that she wasn’t going to be with us,” Hartong said. “Whether she was going to transfer or be ineligible, we kind of just

moved on knowing that, and like I said, as a team we’ve gotten stronger and put that past us. Now the girls are going to see who is going to take over that spot and step up.”

The silver lining from Croson’s departure is the competition that has been brought up because the starting outside position is now open.

“Jane was a huge part of our team offensively and defensively, so it’s a big loss and we are sad that she left, but things change,” Uiato said. “One thing about our team is that we are really deep in positions so just gives another hitter the opportunity to step up. It definitely pumps up the competition for the second spot behind Emily. I think that it really has brought out the competition in Tai [Manu-Olevao], Ashley [Kastl] and all the other hitters for the two spot.”

S H O J I ’ S L A S T Y E A R?

Rumors have been circulating that it could be Head Coach Dave Shoji’s last year in the Rainbow Wahine program. Shoji is entering his 38th season as head coach and has many accomplishments under his belt.

These included reaching 1,000 career wins in 2009, and he currently has 1,076. He was also inducted into the AVCA Hall of Fame

this past December and brought the Rainbow Wahine to four national titles.

UH players are split on what decision Shoji will make.

“Dave just loves volleyball, so who knows,” sophomore Jade Vorster said. “I think he might stick around. He just loves it too much to walk away, but we’ll see.”

The team knows that family could be a reason for Shoji leaving.

“I wouldn’t we be surprised,” Hartong said. “He’s had a great career here.

His sons are moving on to the Olympic team and like any dad you want to travel.

It may be his last, but he’s in it just as much as we are. And he’s going to be pushing us all season long to make sure we finish strong.”

No matter what Shoji decides, the Rainbow Wahine have expressed that they will be behind him.

“If he does leave, he left a huge legacy here,” Uiato said. “I am just honored to be here while he was here. I’m sure that this year will be an emotional year if it is his last year.”

WELCOME BACK

Meet the UH Wahine Volleyball star:

Emily Hartong Emily Hartong has become a household name among University of Hawai‘i volleyball fans during her three years as a Rainbow Wahine. It is now Hartong’s final year as one of seven seniors on the 201314 roster for the Wahine. Although each senior contributes to the team in every way, Hartong stands out among the rest.

“I would put her up there in the overall top 10 percent of players we have had,” head coach Dave Shoji said. “She’s going to be when she finishes among the top players that have ever played in the program. She is the all-around good player and hard worker.”

Hartong is from Long Beach, Calif., and a Los Alamitos High School graduate. She had many accomplishments while in high school, including lettering all four years and being named Los Alamitos’ Female Athlete of the Year. She earned all-county, all-region and all-California Interscholastic Federation honors during her senior year.

“Looking back on it, it has been pretty exhilarating I would say,” Hartong said. “It’s crazy that I am already a senior, and each year my goal is to get better than the previous year. I only hope that all my hard work this summer pays off during season. Last shot, really going to go after it.”

THE B EG I N N I N G

As a freshman, Hartong was a phenomenal contribution to the Rainbow Wahine roster. Hartong started all 32 matches as a middle hitter. She was named the Western Athletic Conference Freshman of the Year and earned a spot on the all-WAC second team. From her first year, Hartong showed of things to come.

“I’ve been playing against her since I was 12, so we have both been around the game, and I think she is so versatile in this sport that she can go anywhere,” senior setter Mita Uiato said.

Being versatile is something that Hartong excels in. During her sophomore year she played in all 33 matches and moved around in all three frontrow positions. This year she was named second team American Volleyball Coaches Association all-American, selected AVCA all-region and allWAC first team. Along with her accomplishments,

Hartong ranked 25th nationally with a hitting percentage of .369.

FINISHING STRONG

Last season she added another feat to her list: Hartong played on the left side for the first time in her UH career. To no one’s surprise she shined during the 2012 season and received AVCA First Team All-American and AVCA all-region. On top of that she was voted Big West Conference Player of the Year even though it was UH’s first appearance in the conference.

“That is why she has the honors that she gets, All-American,” Uiato said. “It’s hard for a middle especially to go to outside. It’s a lot different timing. It’s a lot more responsibility. She plays back row, middle back and hits from the back row too.

So it’s a lot of responsibility to take on, and that is why she is the player she is. She is amazing, and I do feel comfortable having her as my go to hitter as a setter. It’s a big role she plays.”

Even though she made transitioning from middle to left side look easy, there were times that were frustrating. No matter what, she always had the team behind her.

“I can definitely see how that is hard and frustrating for her but that’s okay because we got her back. She is a great athlete, so she makes up for whatever small thing she is lacking in athleticism,” sophomore middle Jade Vorster said.

As a leader, much of the team can agree that Hartong leads by example and keeps the team accountable.

“She hustles through plays and keeps up with plays. In between plays she talks a lot,” Uiato said. “She was captain last year, so she knows the role to play and how our team functions. ... She definitely works hard throughout the whole entire practice. Usually if we are slacking she will let us know.”

Through her career, Hartong has showed athleticism and talent. There are high hopes for Hartong to finish off her career with top honors.

“Good student and good character: Players like Emily don’t come around too often,” Shoji said.

WELCOME BACK ISMAEL MA / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

UH women’s soccer: ready to start winning Ken Reyes Senior Staff Writer After a season full of trials last season, the rally cry for the University of Hawai‘i women’s soccer team is that it is battle-tested and ready to assert itself as a contender in the Big West Conference in its second year as a member.

A total of 10 new players will also be joining the team, along with the returnees that include four all-conference players.

“I think that with a good number of returning players, we’re expecting ourselves to be a lot more composed and experienced than we were last year,” head coach Michele Nagamine said.

EXPERIENCE In preparation for its second year in the Big West Conference, the players spent their summer training and playing for soccer clubs to gain more experience on the field and keep a competitive mindset towards the game.

“The players we have coming in this year are very well traveled,” Nagamine said. “They come from good, competitive soccer clubs and play at a very high level all

the time. That’s why I’m hoping that level of competition that they’re experiencing both locally and on the mainland will make it easier for them when they go on the road.

“These kids are battle-tested and are playing in some of the toughest leagues in the country. I think that, if nothing, they’ll bring the intensity level up for us. “ “This summer, I played a lot of soccer outside UH,” said junior midfielder Krystal Pascua. “I was just trying to make sure that I was ready for when the season starts. I’ve been playing co-ed soccer, and it’s a pretty tough game, more than I had thought, but it’ll help me get more prepared.”

Along with that, the Rainbow Wahine also made it a focus to train the younger players, especially those who are transitioning from high school to the college level of play.

“I think that this season, because so many young players got experience, they’ll be able to help the new freshmen coming in,” junior forward Tiana Fujimoto said. “I think we have a really great recruiting class coming in, so they should only make us better.”

“It’s going to help us a lot, because the players last year who got the experience are

more familiar with the speed of the game.

The hardest transition to make going from high school to college is the pace of the game,” Pascua said. “But also, the younger players from last year will be able to help the young players this year to adapt.”

EXPECTATIONS With the experience that the team has been gaining throughout the offseason, expectations are also building up. And because the newcomers dominate the team in numbers, the Rainbow Wahine are looking to its upperclassmen to steer the team to success this season.

“I’m a very vocal person, so I need to lead the team and make sure I help out the younger girls to make sure they’re staying on track and that we’re staying together as a team,” Pascua said. “The most that we can do is play together.

Things will work if we stick together.”

Nagamine also spoke highly of Pascua and Fujimoto, two of the returning all-conference players, and their dedication to the team.

“Last season, Krystal got through her sophomore year doing some really good things… she’s been a really good player, and the pressure has always been on her since

she was a very young player,” Nagamine said. “If I know Krystal the way I think I know Krystal, then she’s set her goals very high, and she won’t be satisfied with any subpar performances.”

Fujimoto received similar praise from Nagamine.

“I think Tiana’s expectations for herself are also very high. She’s been looking forward to starting the fall season, and I know she’s been taking her training very seriously. She’s been playing a lot of soccer during the offseason in the regional tournament being hosted in Hawai‘i and she did quite well.”

Nagamine also talked about their goals for the team and how she has raised them up a few notches since their first season in the Big West “For me, I’d like to keep our team a lot more focused. There were a lot of distractions last year, just because the team was so young.

This season, it should be a lot easier to keep the group together,” Nagamine said.

“My goal for them is to finish in the top four of the Big West. This season, my expectations for the team are much, much higher.”

A product of hard work:

Krystal Pascua Jeremy Nitta Associate Sports Editor There are few things in the world more rewarding than seeing hard work pay off, and junior midfielder Krystal Pascua of the Rainbow Wahine soccer team is seeing this come into fruition.

Pascua, a local product of ʻIolani School, had what many would consider an excellent season last year. Pascua earned second team all-Big West honors, led the team in

But Pascua has taken it all in stride, stating that she actually enjoys the pressure placed on her.

“Yeah, I guess that there’s been a lot of pressure, but that just drives me to work that much harder,” Pascua said. “I’m glad that it’s like that for me. Because you know, if I had low expectations for myself, then I might not be as driven. You always want that pressure on you to push yourself to be successful.”

This drive has not gone unnoticed, both by her teammates and her coach.

“She isnʻt satisfied with anything less than her best.”

-Head coach Michele Nagamine

Krystal Pascua started in all 20 games last season for the Rainbow Wahine.

ISMAEL MA KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

shots attempted with 49 and was second in goals scored with four. She also placed third on the team in scoring with 11 points and made the Big West All-Academic team. But despite all these accomplishments, Pascua is far from satisfied.

“I think I could get a better scoring percentage,” Pascua said. “I think I had the highest number of shots taken, but not the highest number of shots made. I really want to work on my shooting and getting my shots more on target.

“And I’m really striving to get on that Big West first team. But it [earning second-team All Big West honors] felt really good because a lot of hard work went into last season. It felt really good for everyone because we got some recognition. We were picked to finish last, so it felt really good for us to be recognized.”

Success is something that Pascua brought with her from her days at ʻIolani.

As a Raider, she earned numerous accolades during her career, including being named the state Player of the Year as a senior. Going into college, Pascua was expec ted by many to make a quick impac t and bring that success to UH, a tall task for any player.

“I’ve known Krystal for a long time, and she’s always been a hard worker,” junior forward Tiana Fujimoto said. “She always is the leader out there, encouraging people and making them better.”

“What separates her from everyone else is the level of demand that she places on herself,” head coach Michele Nagamine said. “She isn’t satisfied with anything less than her very best.

That’s what makes her such a great player.”

This reputation as a hard worker perhaps means more to Pascua than any of the awards or trophies she’s collected during her playing career.

“To me, the only thing that you can control is your effort and your work ethic,” Pascua said. “I think that it’s the way everyone should think, because that’s something that they can control. You should always put your 100 percent out there.”

“Krystal provides us with a lot of leadership,” Nagamine said. “She sets the tone for us in the weight room, she sets the tone for us in training, she’s extremely competitive and does not slack in any aspect of her life. That is something that I am hoping is going to rub off on a lot of the other players. She’s quite inspiring, based on her actions.”
