FRONT MATTER C OR R E CT IONS

The opinions piece titled "The alleged freshman rapist" in the Oct. 27th issue of Ka Leo failed to fully acknowledge that Tyler Strong's guilt or innocence has not been established by a court of law. The suspect has been charged with first-degree sexual assault and will face a jury trial in November.

The article titled "Meet the Candidates" in the Oct. 27 issue of Ka Leo listed incorrect information for some of the candidates: Cam Cavasso, Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, is 64, not 63.

Shan Tsutsui, Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor, is 43, not 63. Elwin Ahu, Republican candidate for lieutenant governor, is 59, not 63. Charles Djou, Republican candidate for the first congressional district, is 44, not 43. Kawika Crowley, Republican candidate for the second congressional district, is 62, not 60.

Elwin Ahu's campaign website is ahuforhawaii.com.

A credit for a photo of Daniel Harris-McCoy and Brendon Oshita on p. 35 of the Oct. 27 issue incorrectly stated that the photo was provided by Harris-McCoy. It was actually taken by Shane Grace.

New ocean telecom cables should be ‘green’ The system of submarine telecommunications that connects the world together represents a missed opportunity for tsunami warning, according to university scientists and a United Nations task force.

These submarine telecommunications cables are the backbone of the Internet, but they should be more green. According to the task force’s report, sensor technology could be deployed to improve the world’s understanding of ocean circulation and sea level rise.

According to Rhett Butler, director of the Hawai‘i Institute of Geophysics and Planetology, all of the world’s cable systems will be replaced within the coming quarter century.

wireless ear pieces or had “electronic erasers” on their desks, state media said.

Organizers of the scam sent fake students to take the test, they left after quickly memorizing the questions. Those fake students then charged test takers $330 for the broadcasted answers.

15 to Finish goes national Initiative spearheads efforts to help students graduate on time

KASSANDRA FOCHTMAN / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

By 2018, 65 percent of jobs in Hawai‘ i will require a college degree or career certificate.

MATHEW URSUA STAFF WRITER

The Hawai‘i-born initiative that aims to get students to graduate on time is making its way across the country as more than a dozen other states have adopted it.

This fall, the University of West Virginia launched a statewide 15 to Finish initiative, joining 15 other states that implemented similar campaigns.

“We are very excited that an idea that we created and successfully implemented in Hawai‘i is being used across the country,” Joanne Itano, University of Hawai‘i’s interim executive vice president for academic affairs and member of the Hawai‘ i Graduation Initiative team, said.

Whether in Hawai‘i or as far away as West Virginia, the program’s goals remain the same: to get students their degrees in four years, and to promote 15 credit hours as a full load of classes.

But it’s part of a larger movement spearheaded by a nonprofit company called Complete College America. According to its website, the company’s goal is to change college graduation rates for the better.

A Complete College America report released in the fall of 2013 outlined strategies the company says will help universities around the country to produce more graduates and do it on time.

They call the strategies “game changers.” Among them are reforming remedial education, giving schools funding based on how they perform – not how many students they enroll – and using technology to help students structure their schedules.

Another of Complete College America’s “game changers” was to encourage that students enroll in a full-time course load of 15 credits.

AT HOME

All that was started in Hawai‘ i.

The UH system gave birth to the model and its 15 to finish moniker.

In December of 2012, representatives from 32 states met at Hawai‘i’s State Capitol. There, officials presented the 15 to Finish initiative, and that’s when Hawai‘i became the model for a program that nearly three years later has spread to 15 other states, according to University Business Magazine.

UH worked to create a brand image for 15 to Finish. According

the number of students getting degrees and certificates by 25 percent before 2015.

According to Itano, the university reached its goal.

“The 10 campuses have done a phenomenal job in increasing the number of degrees and certificates awarded,” Itano said in an email.

“Last year we had the highest percent increase in number of degrees and certificates in our history.”

A CONTINUOUS EFFORT

UH continues to promote 15 to finish.

“We run a media campaign annually to promote the campaign to the general public, run ads in student publications, participate in

“Last year we had the highest percent increase in number of degrees and certificates in our history.”

– JOANNE ITANO INTERIM EXCECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT FOR ACADEMIC AFFAIRS

to a report presented to Complete College America in mid-2013, this meant producing videos, brochures, websites, and securing advertising spots in TV, radio and newspapers.

The ad spots combined with production, design and brochure printing came with a pricetag of $105,000, according to the report.

Itano said that UH started focusing on college completion as far back as 2008, when the university set outcomes for awarding degrees and certificates.

The Hawai‘i Graduation Initiative, which now oversees 15 to Finish, launched two years later in 2010. The initiative set out to raise

New Student Orientations, provide data to the campuses each Fall semester,” Itano said.

In August, 19 UH students got their textbooks for free, all because they completed 30 credits during their freshman year and kept a minimum grade point average of 2.0, according to a UH news release.

The Hawai‘i Graduation Initiative is responsible for 15 to Finish and for the UH arm of the statewide 55 by 25 campaign. Fifty-five-by-25 seeks to get 55 percent of adults college educated by 2025. According to the campaign’s website, it’s all part of the push to make Hawai‘i’s economy competitive for the 21st century.

UH Mānoa student Dyrbe Inos, a communications major who’s on the men’s basketball team, said he’s taking 15 credits this semester.

“I’m just trying to finish up school and get a degree,” Inos said.

Inos, a junior, said that academic advisors break it all down for students and show them exactly what they need to do to graduate on time.

Inos said he’s doing well in his classes, even with a 15 credit course load.

Many have concerns over their ability to keep up under the demands of five classes, but research done by the Hawai‘i Graduation Initiative indicated students enrolled in 15 as opposed to 12 credits performed better in school.

A fall 2012 survey of 648 UH freshmen showed the top reasons why they didn’t enroll in 15 or more credit hours.

Many of the students surveyed said their schedules wouldn’t allow them to do it. Others said that lack of class availability was an obstacle. For some, cost was another obstacle.

Makena Dyer got his bachelor’s degree in four years. He went to UC Irvine, which uses a quarter system instead of a semester system.

Dyer said he thinks people are more prone to procrastination under a semester system, and that he knew of some people who would wait as long as two weeks into their semester to buy their textbooks.

Dyer, who’s pursuing a master’s degree in nutritional sciences, said that while he understands people have work and family obligations, they should try to get through college in four years.

Policy allows student charged with sexual assault to remain in dorms LYLE AMINE / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

ELY MADDEN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

A UH Mānoa student who has been charged with sexual assault and awaits trial was allowed to stay in student housing per Title IX federal regulations.

Moving 19-year-old Tyler Strong to another area of student housing is delineated in federal guidelines and explained in a letter,

student member can file a complaint with the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Students. Once the complaint is filed, it is reviewed to ensure it meets criteria outlined in the procedures. These include that the complaint is clear and coherent, that there is enough information to back up the belief that sexual harassment has occurred and that it actually violates Title IX policies and/or the school’s sexual harassment policies.

“Having an allegedly dangerous person near my living space would make me, and most people, very scared.”

– NATALIE STRAUSS JUNIOR POLITICAL SCIENCE MAJOR

which explains the Title IX requirements, issued by the Office for Civil Rights. This letter stated that the alleged perpetrator or the complainant must be moved to a different residence once the complaint is registered.

Following a KHON2 news story which reported that instead of being removed from student housing, Strong was relocated to a different dorm after he was charged, Meda Chesney-Lind, Women’s Studies professor and chairwoman, voiced disapproval the university’s handling of the situation.

“They’ve shifted his location slightly, which is a kind of ‘halfbaked’ approach,” Chesney-Lind said.

Natalie Strauss, a junior majoring in Political Science, said she hadn’t been informed of the situation that occurred.

“I don’t know the legality of the situation … but I do know that having an allegedly dangerous person near my living space would make me, and most people, very scared,” Strauss said.

MĀNOA’S POLICY ON SEXUAL ASSAULT

The campus’ policy on sexual assault, which was drafted in 2006 and is posted on the UH Mānoa website, disseminates information regarding what constitutes sexual assault and action taken when it is reported. Each chancellor creates the procedures for handling complaints at their respective campuses.

The procedures state that any

Associate Vice Chancellor for Students and Dean of Students Lori Ideta wouldn’t comment on any specific case but said the university must be careful in its treatment of the suspect and alleged victim.

“We operate under the value that a person is innocent until proven guilty. If both parties involved in a Title IX investigation are students, both students are to receive equal support and fair treatment,” Ideta said. “Title IX requires a school to take steps to ensure equal access to its education programs and activities and protect the complainant as necessary.”

POSSIBLE PREVENTION MEASURE

While the issue of rights pertaining to victim and perpetrator are of utmost importance, Chesney-Lind said taking a proactive stance and developing educational programs for prevention is far more effective than a reactive policy.

Jennifer Rose, the gender equity specialist for the campus’ Office for Gender Equity, said UH is focusing on these types of programs. She said they are focusing on training employees to give them information about Title IX and also to help them recognize potential behavior that may lead to sexual assault.

These types of educational programs will help the faculty and the students, she said.

“One of the biggest complaints that students bring to me is that they didn’t know where to go or what to do if and when a situation

like this occurs,” Rose said.

Heather Frey, a member of the campus’ Graduate Student Organization and graduate assistant, has seen some of these proactive changes being put into place.

While she said the way the university handled the case does not set a safe precedent for the future, she has seen some of the changes being implemented.

“All graduate assistants were required to attend a Title IX information session/training this semester, which has never happened in the past [as far as I know],” Frey said.

With the reported cases of sexual assault on the decline in recent years at UH, Rose is hopeful in continuing to bring it down with these sorts of educational resources.

Sarah Rice, community programs manager for the campus Department of Public Safety, said that reported cases of sexual assault on campus dropped from 12 in 2011 to just five in 2014.

The Office of Gender Equity offers services to victims and survivors of sexual harrassment and sexual assault.

OPINIONS Readers respond: ‘The alleged freshman rapist’

COMPILED BY ALEX BITTER EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Ka Leo has received numerous comments from readers regarding an opinion article published in the Oct. 27 issue.

Below are a few of those comments, selected for publication

by Ka Leo’s editors and edited for grammar and style.

We have issued a correction for the article, noting that it failed to fully acknowledge that Tyler Strong’s guilt or innocence has not been established by a court of law. He has been charged with first-degree sexual assault and will face a jury trial in November.

“Even if the guy is guilty, he’s also only 18. Splashing his name and face all over the local news and school paper is a great way to ruin the kid’s life forever. He’s still at a developmental stage where these actions are murky for him to understand as wrong.

Taking him out of school entirely and ostracizing him isn’t going to help the case.

The way this article was written is making him out to be a monster… Good for the girl for being brave enough to report this so fast on the same day it happened, and having him roam around freely is probably horrible for her, but not using his name/picture would have made this article more convincing and not just like a call for a lynch mob.”

Karin Louise Hermes via Facebook

“This horrible piece makes me ashamed to have previously written numerous articles for Ka Leo in the past. It looks like the journalism standards have slipped HEAVILY since I worked for them.

This would have required numerous serious edits back in my day.

This is a completely irresponsible way to approach the very serious topic of rape on college campuses.

For example, you state ‘How can I feel safe at night knowing that a person who committed a felony is allowed to walk around campus freely?’ You absolutely cannot publish that type of thing until a guilty conviction. You are not the courts, you do not decide innocence, regardless of how horrible the accusations may be…

I expect Ka Leo to report on sensitive subjects such as this, and having written previously for you I know that not everyone will agree with an opinions article, but if you do not publish a retraction or a statement from the editor regarding this, I would be seriously shocked and disappointed at what Ka Leo has become.”

Anonymous via kaleo.org

“It’s been a long time since I’ve vehemently supported efforts by Ka Leo. In the grand scheme of things, the focus of this piece is not Tyler Strong. The focus of this piece is the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s unwavering commitment to maintaining their image, protecting perpetrators, and re-victimizing victims of rape, sex assault, stalking, and sexual harassment.”

HI-SEAS enters its third week of eight-month-long simulation

Mauna Loa was chosen for the simulation because of its similarity to the Martian surface.

ERIC ANCHETA CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Whenever a crewmember from the Hawai‘i Space Exploration Analog and Simulation (HI-SEAS) team wants to get information online, they have to wait 40 minutes for it.

The six-person group will continue to work with this for the next seven and a half months in a habitat on Mauna Loa, 8,200 feet above sea level.

During this time, the crew will undergo a series of tests designed to evaluate the psychological effects on the crew and their performance during long-term space travel. This data will be used by NASA scientists to determine possible psychological effects astronauts may encounter during long-term space missions, according to Simon Engler, a HI-SEAS research assistant.

The crew’s habitat simulates living on a Martian planet. The crew will live in this habitat for the duration of the simulation, and should they leave the habitat, they will do so in a simulated space suit, according to the HI-SEAS press release.

“So far the simulation has been running smoothly with only some minor hiccups,” Engler said in a phone interview.

AN INFORMATION DELAY

An issue that has come up is a networking issue that stems from the crew accessing the Internet with a time delay.

They are using software that is kind of experimental and it puts a 20-minute delay on accessing information from web pages, according to Engler.

“Some web pages are not really designed that way and it causes

some issues when they are trying to get information,” Engler said.

The communication delay is set up this way to simulate the 20 minutes that it takes for light to travel from Mars to Earth. It takes another 20 minutes for information

to travel back so the crew has a total of 40 minutes before they can get an answer to anything they want to know, according to Engler.

He added that in terms of the overall setup, this mission has been the smoothest by far. They are getting better at gathering the necessary materials needed to set up the mission and are better situated to anticipate the needs of the crew for the HI-SEAS missions.

ASPIRING TO BE ASTRONAUTS

Both Mirkadyrov and Wilson aspire to become astronauts. They are hoping to use this experience as a stepping-stone for future progress towards reaching their goals of one day going to Mars.

“Even if we don’t become

astronauts, I will still be very proud and fortunate to have participated in this program simply because I will have contributed to the mankind’s advancement of space exploration,” Mirkadyrov said.

Wilson would love nothing more than to be an astronaut and have a chance to go to Mars. If this is the best he can do, then so be it.

He thinks that it might give him a little taste of what going to Mars might be like.

Mirkadyrov would also like to gain some knowledge about crew confinement on long duration missions in the chance that he could some day use that experience on a live mission. He would also like to learn ways to stay positive during long periods of confinement.

“I am hoping to learn a lot about myself, my crew and ways in which our interactions and relationships can stay positive over a long period of confinement,” Mirkadyrov said.

THE HABITAT

According to crewmember Zak Wilson, HI-SEAS chief engineer, the lack of Internet is difficult.

“You really take for granted the ability do a quick Google search when you are trying to figure out a problem,” he said. “Waiting 40 minutes to get an answer back from mission support when you have a question makes you approach things differently.”

Besides the lack of a quick Google search, Wilson also misses the outdoors and being able to go for a quick run or go rock climbing.

The six-member crew began its space simulation on Oct. 15.

UH Mānoa does not intend to use the flexibility it was given in a recent UH system-wide proposal to alter the amount of merit aid given to UH students, according to Interim Chancellor Robert Bley-Vroman.

“Mānoa does not intend to use that flexibility that we never asked for,” he said. “We want to be able to give merit-based aid.”

This statement comes two weeks after the Associated Students of the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa (ASUH) discussed the system-wide proposal. This proposal specifies that starting in the academic year 2015-2016, the chancellors are to determine the amount of tuition assistance for merit.

As interim chancellor, BleyVroman said he’s committed to using the full amount of merit-based aid, and if he tried to eliminate merit aid, he would be removed from his position. In addition, merit-based aid is also part of a recruitment strategy to improve student enrollment.

“The other system chancellors wanted relief from an obligation to do the merit-based part of their aid, and Mānoa didn’t ask for that flexibility and we’re not going to use it – we are committed to using that form of aid,” he said.

Bley-Vroman addressed further budget issues on the Mānoa campus and said the things that benefit students most directly have to be preserved and expanded.

“Those units who are not benefiting, or shouldn’t benefit as much by your tuition increases are also going to have to figure out how it is to save money, get additional funding, and tighten bills for those research units,” he said.

With the start of a new budget process committee, he said one of the things the group needs to do in the meantime is to try to get additional funding from the legislature.

“If there were a way to get enough state funding, I think that the regents would be eager to roll back a tuition increase to an extent,” he said.

Legalizing marijuana in Hawai‘i How the state can benefit from the production of cannabis

Since Colorado and Washington legalized the sale of recreational marijuana to adults, the debate over legalizing pot has become especially heated. Opponents highlight the danger, but the reality is that states would benefit from the production of marijuana.

Act, which would allow free trade to occur by not requiring vessels to be made, owned and staffed by U.S. companies.

An exemption to the Jones Act would lower imported good costs to Hawai‘ i by 20 to 30 percent, while also reducing barriers to international investment in industries such as hemp and marijuana cultivation.

LEGALIZING MARIJUANA

LEGALIZATION AS A SERIOUS ISSUE

Hawai‘ i could benefit from its geographic position in the center of the Pacific by exporting large amounts of marijuana to Pacific Rim nations such as China, Japan and the U.S. mainland.

Furthermore, legalizing the production of marijuana in our state would be beneficial, since the revenue generated can cover Hawai‘i’s budget shortfall – a proposition that has been suggested by Democratic State Rep. Rida Cabanilla.

According to the Colorado Department of Revenue, the state earned over $7 million in tax revenue in August from recreational and medical marijuana sales.

Although this figure is from sales, a similar positive figure can be estimated for production.

Despite the overwhelming failure of the War on Drugs to prevent access to marijuana, the other three candidates are opposed to any form of decriminalization.

State senator David Ige voted against the standing medical marijuana legislation. Like President Obama, they have simply brushed off the issue of marijuana legalization as a joke.

Millions in state tax revenue are wasted prosecuting, sentencing and incarcerating otherwise law-abiding citizens when the funds could be used to prevent violent crimes.

The “Green Harvest” eradication of marijuana, which began in 1977, has led to large increases in the price of marijuana and has coincided with the rise of methamphetamine use as people search for a cheaper buzz.

Like same-sex marriage, the overwhelming majority of Americans are coming to support full marijuana legalization. In our islands, a poll conducted by QMark Research found that 66 percent of Hawai‘ i residents supported the legalization of marijuana.

If our politicians are unwilling to acknowledge public opinion, perhaps the most realistic hope Hawai‘ i has of legalization is through a referendum.

This year, voters in Oregon and Alaska could follow in the footsteps of Colorado and Washington if they approve ballot initiatives to legalize pot. In addition, several other states are working to put the issue of legalization on the ballot in 2016.

Hawai‘ i should follow these states with a referendum in the near future.

If successful, our state could reap the budgetary benefits – an upside that even Hawai‘ i’s socially conservative politicians should appreciate.

DISNEY 

The upcoming Disney film “Moana” stars a Polynesian princess on a journey to help her family.

Disney goes South Pacif ic How the franchise is addressing diversity through its female characters KRISTEN PAUL BONIFACIO OPINIONS EDITOR

With a total global revenue of over $3 billion, the Disney Princess franchise is one of the most successful licensed brands in the world. With the announcement of Moana, a new Disney film set in the South Pacific, the company is finally bolstering the one aspect it has always lacked – diversity.

included in the official list of Disney Princesses.

WHY THE NEED FOR DIVERSITY?

With American society becoming more diverse, Disney needs to follow suit. Although children might not see the issue behind the lack of diversity in skin color and race among their toys and favorite movie characters, they are being influenced into perceiving what is acceptable.

set to be released in 2016, is a breath of fresh air for Disney and for the princess franchise.

According to one of the film’s directors, the story is about a Polynesian princess who goes on an adventure in the open ocean along with the demigod Māui.

Moana also adds variety to the roles of female characters in Disney films. Many share the similarity of living in castles, being passive and falling in love with Prince Charming.

THE PRINCESS CLUB

Snow White, Cinderella and Ariel are three of Disney’s well-known characters. They are global icons for the company, and young children around the world are familiar with their names and their “happily ever after” stories. The franchise is dominated by Caucasian characters and only four out of the 11 princesses that make up the Disney Princess franchise are non-Caucasians.

Aladdin, the first film featuring a non-Caucasian princess, was released in 1992, 55 years after Snow White, Disney’s first film featuring a princess. Since then, only three other ethnically diverse films followed – “Pocahontas,” “Mulan” and “The Princess and the Frog.”

Although there are other Disney films featuring female characters that are ethnically different, they are not popular and are not

By creating characters such as Moana, the company is recognizing the diverse cultures of its audience.

In a 1930s study, psychologists Kenneth Bancroft Clark and Mamie Phipps Clark found that African-American children preferred and perceived a white doll as better and more desirable than a similar doll with a darker skin tone.

And when the experiment was conducted again in 2006, the results were similar.

CHANGING THE LANDSCAPE

If Disney sticks with princesses who are just like Ariel and Belle, it will continue to fuel the already white-dominated industry. Moana,

Moana is different since she plays a heroine role. The only other Disney film featuring a Disney princess that has managed to do so is Mulan.

The Disney franchise is an industry that should cater to children of different ethnicities. By creating characters such as Moana, the company is recognizing the diverse cultures of its audience. Furthermore, one of the film’s animators is Sāmoan will allow the film to highlight the Polynesian culture and bring it to global prominence.

THE 2014 ELECTION

The local media outlets have conveniently ignored the Libertarian party and other third party candidates in every election just like their larger national counterparts.

Jeff Davis, a Libertarian candidate for the governor seat, was left out of the recently televised gubernatorial debates, which featured only three of the four candidates for governor: Republican Duke Aiona, Democrat David Ige and Independent Mufi Hannemann.

Yet, out of all four candidates, Davis is the only one to express his support for the legalization and taxation of both marijuana and hemp in Hawai‘i.

In the most recently televised debate hosted by Hawaii News Now and the Star-Advertiser, none of the three participating candidates said they would support the legalization of recreational marijuana.

Davis has also spoken about pressuring the federal government to give Hawai‘i, Alaska, Puerto Rico and Guam exemptions to the Jones

Grad student Tu‘ ikolongahau wants to spread awareness of Rugby Club at UH Mānoa.

Big plans for rugby at UH Mānoa Rugby Club finds its beginnings on campus HARRISON PATINO STAFF WRITER

In the entirety of the University of Hawai‘ i’s proud sporting history, the Mānoa campus has never had a rugby team. Due to the efforts of rugby enthusiast and architecture grad student, Mohuhano “Mo” Tu‘ ikolongahau, that is soon to change.

The club was started to get rugby recognition as a sport in Hawai‘i and to improve what Tu‘ikolongahau calls “the rugby culture.”

“I feel that a lot of people [at Mānoa] don’t really belong to ‘something.’ I want them to feel at home,” Tu‘ ikolongahau said.

With the club still in its infant stages, Tu‘ikolongahau has his work cut out for him.

“We’re going to be recruiting at Campus Center, posting flyers [across campus], developing a Facebook page [and] doing some fundraisers. We want to network and spread awareness for rugby,” Tu‘ikolongahau said.

NO SMALL TASK

Tu‘ ikolongahau looks to expand the club in the coming months, and has no lack of determination in doing so. In need of funds, community support and, most of all, members, Tu‘ikolongahau remains steadfast in his goals in spite of the mounting odds.

“You’ve got to start small. Have a vision, lay out a plan and just go for it. Big things have small beginnings, [and] we’re going to do it big here at UH Mānoa,” Tu‘ikolongahau said.

BUILDING A COMMUNITY

Rugby, more often than not, tends to be characterized by the sport’s sheer intensity; by the raw physicality of the players and the endurance demanded to step foot on the green and hit – or get hit.

State, a community she fondly described as “welcoming.”

“It’s a totally different vibe with rugby,” Cooper said. “With other sports, there’s competition and fights afterwards, but with rugby everyone just wants to hang out afterwards and eat together [or] party.”

THE COED SPORT

In regards to what some might see as a blatant gender gap of women in rugby, Cooper had only

“I feel that a lot of people [at Mānoa] don’t really belong to ‘something.’ I want them to feel at home.”

– MOHUHANO TU‘IKOLONGAHAU ARCHITECTURE GRAD STUDENT

But for the Rugby Club’s sophomore secretary and rugby lover, Samantha Cooper, the sport represents a sense of belonging.

“I grew up around rugby,” Cooper said. “My granddad played it, my uncles played it, my dad played it.”

Describing it as “the best combination between soccer and football,” rugby gave Cooper a chance to play in a sport that is otherwise dominated by men, unlike the football teams she was restricted from in her younger days.

A transfer student, Cooper previously played rugby at Sacramento

smiles and fond memories to share.

“I think it’s cool, I think it’s different. I love people’s faces when I tell them [I play rugby]. I’m not super buff or super huge or anything,” Cooper said.

On the field, Cooper plays lock, a position instrumental in rugby’s infamous “scrums” (matches).

BIG GOALS, BIGGER HOPES

After transferring to UH Mānoa, Cooper longed for the kind of community that rugby brought together at Sacramento State.

“Mo asked to meet up and offered

me a position as secretary – that way I could still be involved,” Cooper said.

Though the current plan for UH Mānoa’s Rugby Club is men-only for the time being, Cooper still has high hopes for the future of women’s rugby at Mānoa.

“I would love it,” Cooper said. “I want to bring the community here.

It’s awesome, it’s a good way to be active. It’s good to get like-minded people together – there’s a certain type of person that plays rugby.”

When asked to elaborate on what that special “type of person” is, Cooper was at a loss for words.

All in all, Cooper described that person as a mix of good effort, great heart and someone who “wants to be out there [on the field] for the game.”

Maybe the spirit of rugby is just too wild and passionate to put into words.

But then, maybe it’s the kind of thing only a rugby player would understand.

Colors have never been more frustrating than with “King’s Color.”

As a somewhat avid puzzle-gamer, I was expecting this game to be a breeze. However, the game is anything but that.

“King’s Color” isn’t for the easily-angered, offering three modes that are as enraging as they are fun. The primary mode is called “True Mode” and works as a basis for the other modes. In True Mode, players will be given a spelled-out color. The goal is to determine if the color of the letters matches the color spelled out. For instance, a false (or X in the game) would be given to the word violet if its letters are colored green. A check is given if the color and word match each other.

The other modes, Rubik Mode and Diamond Mode, are just as entertaining with minor tweaks in gameplay.

This fairly simple task becomes difficult thanks to a time limit. I found that the mind became so entranced in the gameplay that I made countless foolish mistakes as I hurried to achieve the highest score possible.

With a dark backdrop, the palette of colors pop out of the phone or tablet, which is a vibrant addition to the overall presentation. The colors included in the game are red, blue, green, yellow, orange, pink, violet, cyan, gray and white.

Through the integration of Facebook, players are able to challenge their friends in a headto-head color battle. While the game is frustrating, its magnificent color schemes and addictive gameplay make it a must-own for puzzle enthusiasts.

RATING

The Rugby Club is recruiting and looking for members.

The club currently only has men playing, but our Rainbow Wāhine are encouraged to join and support rugby at UH Mānoa.

Finding the right cup of coffee to sip on while reading Ka Leo can be challenging if you’re restricted to staying on campus. Coffee shops like Starbucks and The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf are coffee staples. However, they may be too crowded and don’t offer certain coffee options. Each cup of coffee has something different to offer and each coffee shop provides its own twist on the coffee experience.

Within just a few blocks of the campus are several coffee shops that students may find to their personal taste.

LYLE AMINE / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

All mentioned coffee shops are within a mile of Campus Center.

THE CURB

GLAZER’S COFFEE

THE TEA FARM CAFÉ

SMOKEY’S PIPE & COFFEE

The Curb takes its coffee seriously. With its iced coffee carefully brewed using a Nitro system and some of the best grinds imported from around the world, there is no need for sweetening additives. With fun foam artwork as well, The Curb is sure to get the coffee done right.

The Kaimukī location is very small and has no Wi-Fi. It is not a reliable study environment but rather a coffee-to-go kind of spot. If the locations in Sinclair Library and Paradise Palms Café are too crowded, there are plenty of locations on campus to sit, sip and enjoy.

What’s cool: The baristas will talk you through their process and their internationally imported products, and will let you sample their coffee.

Students can expect near-absolute silence and fresh-smelling coffee when stepping into Glazer’s. This is a great spot for studying and sipping on freshly-brewed coffee. Glazer’s uses old-fashioned coffee brewers, such as the Chemex Coffeemaker, which increases the richness of the coffee’s taste. The dim lighting, subtle background music and local artwork make for a cozy environment perfect for anyone in need of focusing. The place is small – seating can sometimes be problematic – and the coffees available are limited to standard types, such as lattes, cappuccinos and macchiatos.

What’s cool: The baristas produce original, fun artwork in the foam of the hot coffee.

For the non-coffee drinkers and tea enthusiasts, The Tea Farm Café provides an elegant and serene atmosphere. The large selection of teas include green teas from Japan, chamomile from Egypt, honeybush from South Africa and many more.

Special teas include green tea frappés, tea au lait and chai lattes. Teas are served in specialized tea cups or pots.

What’s cool: The café has sweet desserts like s’mores, ice cream fondue and homemade cupcakes.

Besides the large display case of tobacco smoke products, Smokey’s provides a neat coffee area for studying, chatting or just enjoying a cup of coffee. Particular to this coffee shop is the kava.

Kava is a plant, much like tea, that contains sedative properties.

While caffeine pumps adrenaline, kava helps individuals relax. For students who may be overwhelmed and stressed, a Kavaccino might help. Though flavors like coconut and chocolate are available, they are not distinct in the drinks. Regular coffee drinks are also available.

What’s cool: All-you-can-drink kava on Friday nights for $12.

MORNING GLASS COFFEE + CAFÉ Morning Glass is a small restaurant café with lots to offer. Brewing coffee in the Clever Coffee Dripper guarantees a strong, flavorful cup of coffee. Local coffee grinds are used and cups such as Vietnamese iced coffee are new and refreshing tastes.

This café is ideal for students interested in quality food and coffee. The café is small and fastpaced; it is not an inviting area to sit down and study. There is limited seating and high demand. It opens early for breakfast and closes just after lunch.

What’s cool: The weekend menu includes must-try items like the macaroni and cheese pancakes.

VARNEY CIRCLE FOUNTAIN

One sculpture at UH Mānoa was built on the very foundation of sci-fi infatuations. Right outside Watanabe Hall stands a tall steel monolith made by Bruce Hopper in 1973. Titled “Krypton,” one could already guess by its name that this slab was built with a sci-fi theme to it. There originally was an electric device installed in the structure that would emit a humming sound similar to what the futuristic monolith in the 2001 film “A Space Odyssey” made – most likely what the artist was going for. However, with complaints of noise and energy consumption, the device was disconnected, never to hum again.

The steel structure still stands, as if waiting for Superman to come along and reconnect its humming device so that it may sing the song of its people once again.

It’s hard to believe that the tikithemed structure, located right in the middle of the Varney Circle roundabout, used to be an elegant water fountain. Ask almost any student on campus and they will tell you that they have never seen the Varney Circle Fountain work.

This is because the fountain, built in 1932 by Cornelia McIntyre Foley and Henry H. Remple, stopped working over a decade ago and was never fixed. While there aren’t any plans to restore the fountain to its water-spouting state, when repairs do happen, they will probably come with a hefty increase crease in tuition to fund it.

GATE OF HOPE This elusive sculpture is probably one of the weirdest of all.

Sporting a conspicuous orange color and an unusual design reminiscent of macaroni and cheese falling down from the skies, “Gate of Hope” can be seen in front of the engineering building attracting the attention of passersby. It was created by Alexander Liberman in 1972 to show how engineers are able to creatively build complex structures using the principles they have learned. Who knew engineers could be so artistic?

‘What is this?’

HENRY MA CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Has there ever been a time on campus when you’ve seen a bizarre-looking structure and wondered, “What the heck is that?”

Whether it is the strange group of human statues located near the student parking structure or the interesting orange sculpture outside the engineering building, it’s time to find out what exactly those odd sites are.

FOUNDERS’ GATE

CHANCE MEETING

Located at the corner of University Avenue and Dole Street, you might notice a structure known as “Founders’ Gate” that seems to date back to the time when people still rode horses to get to places.

The gate was built by Ralph Fishbourne in 1933 to symbolize the merging of both the UH campus and the College of Education.

Perhaps one day, in the distant future, the gates could include a teleportation device so that people passing through one gate could teleport to the other without having to cross the street.

Anyone familiar with the campus has probably seen the three tightlygrouped, bronzed human statues right outside of the law school’s library. This eerie-looking monument, erected by George Segal in 1991, is titled “Chance Meeting” and depicts the three cast-bronze figures supposedly having a conversation next to a Hawai‘i intersection – suggesting that they have come together by chance from different parts of the island. On the flip side, it might imply how long they have waited for the pedestrian crossing signal to turn before they could cross. Either way, getting too close to these statues will make you feel like you’re intruding on their nonexistent conversation, so it’s best to give them their personal space.

We ordered the mini size shave ice ($2.50) with two flavors, pineapple and Kalespin (a concoction of kale, apple juice, lemon and cane sugar) for myself, and pineapple and guava for my companion. For the topping, we got the Dream Sauce, a dairy-based syrup that tasted like a watered-down version of condensed milk. The syrups were the right amount of sweet, and the guava and pineapple tasted like the real thing. I wasn’t so set on the Kalespin at first, but I grew to like it. I prefer condensed milk on my shave ice, though; the Dream Sauce was too watery.

Although it can get expensive when you order the larger sizes and add more toppings. Four pieces of mochi, for example, are $1 extra.

Whether you call it art or you call it terror, these creepy clowns are the trendiest thing in California. In the small town of Wasco, California, unidentified men are painting their faces to look like extremely terrifying clowns. Although they have yet to do any actual harm to people, they stand in random places all over town just to give people the spooks. Some may consider this their worst nightmare.

“Just Dance 2015” will be the 6th game of the “Just Dance” gamer series. Get your hands on this sensational game today at your nearest GameStop, because it was released last Tuesday. This new edition of “Just Dance” allows you to see the actual players on the screen instead of the virtual dancers. Not to mention it has tons of new songs that you love.

‘The selfie’

Instagram is full of perfect flower arrangements, perfectly placed desk items and perfect sunsets; here is the behind the scenes of what actually happens when taking an Instagram picture.

@shinebrightlikeahymen Instagram

‘Driving into the sunset’ What it looks like: My significant other and I are romantically watching the sunset while driving to the most romantic spot ever. Aren’t we romantic?

What is actually happening: This is the 43rd picture I took to make sure everything looked perfect; I’m judging myself for this, so you don’t have to. It took me at least 45 minutes to apply my makeup after the half-hour it took to curl my hair to look like this. The lighting had me walking all over the house and spinning in circles to get just right. I can never take the same-looking photo again.

What is actually happening I’ve leaned out of the car window holding my phone with a death grip trying not to drop it. Tapping the right place to focus the lighting has me looking like a maniac. My significant other has yelled at me five times to get back in the car and not cause a car crash.

‘My morning’ What it looks like: I rolled out of bed and my Starbucks and pastry were delicately placed in front of these flowers from the farmer’s market this morning.

What is actually happening: These flowers were bought a week ago and are starting to go bad so I pulled all of the gross ones out and turned it to the best side. This is my fourth drink of the day and it won’t be my last, caffeine makes me do the walking and the talking. Although this pastry looks appetizing, it tastes like chalk – one bite and in the trash for this pretty little thing.

• Art+Style: Learn how to appreciate the ups and downs that you go through with your friends and roomates.

Lauren Roxton Staff Writer

What it looks like: I woke up like this: hair quaffed, makeup on, the lighting makes my skin glow. My tan is flawless and my lipstick matches my nails.

‘OOTD’ What it looks like: I just happened to pick out the bag that matches my shoes and have someone to take my picture in front of this bush that has blooming flowers that compliment the colors on my shirt.

What is actually happening: I have driven by this spot numerous times and told my friend that we had to go here to take a picture when I looked good. We came here and had to wait until no one else was in the shot and messed around with lighting for a while. My friend got really irritated that I didn’t like any of the pictures and therefore I had to buy coffee after.

@kristineknoo Instagram

‘#TBT’

What it looks like: Cheers to everyone! Look at our beautiful table and smiling faces.

What it looks like: Look how adorable my prom picture was. The night was perfect just like me.

What is actually happening: Everyone is hung-over drinking bottomless mimosas to ease into the day.

The person taking the picture has been nominated because she looks the worst – but no one is going to tell her that.

What is actually happening: My date puked on my dress after he snuck in a flask to the dance. I like this picture because it reminds me of my glory days in high school. I never talked to this guy after that night but he was really hot – be jealous of my life.

“ QUOTE

OF THE WEEK

“Beauty pleases the eyes only; sweetness of disposition charms the soul.” - Voltaire

Better beauty buys Veronica Freeman Senior Staff Writer In a world of overwhelming beauty products, it’s hard to determine what’s best for your skin and honestly, sometimes it just needs a break.

Getting back to natural products seems strange and troublesome but a few good products could change your whole perspective on beauty. The best part? All of these products are easy to find and are affordable.

Coconut oil It’s all the rage in the food world, but coconut oil is also an amazing beauty product. Heat up a small amount in a microwave-safe bowl and apply it to your hair, wrap an old T-shirt or towel around your head and leave the oil in for a few hours to really penetrate your hair shaft.

Once you’re done, hop in the shower, shampoo and condition regularly and enjoy your luxurious locks.

Beeswax lip balm Chapped lips can quickly become a problem in Hawai‘i heat.

Stay away from synthetic lip balms that only temporarily hide your peeling lips. Beeswax lip balm has been around for some time, but the benefits of it are too good not to be reaped. Beeswax coats your lips and stays on even in tough situations, like at the gym or when swimming in the ocean. Most beeswax lip balms come with SPF protection as well (be sure to read the label). They’re also found almost anywhere from convenience stores to supermarkets, so you can stock up whenever.

Nylon hair ties Your swimsuit feels comfortable on your skin, so why not feel that same comfort in your hair? What began as trendy bikini brands tying leftover scraps into circles to use as hair ties is now a full-blown trend. One of the perks of using nylon is that it won’t pull on your hair. No more snagging or ripping – they slide in easily and hold surprisingly well. If you’re looking for ties made of authentic bathing suit material, head to a local swim boutique. If you just want a lot of hair ties for low cost, head to the nearest superstore for a few noteworthy options.

Tea tree oil Despite popular belief, acne does not always disappear in college. Between being stressed over midterms and internships, it’s easy to take a look in the mirror and be shocked by the skin you thought you left behind in high school. Tea tree oil has a built-in disinfectant and remarkable soothing properties. You can apply the oil to a pimple directly, leave on for a few hours, then wash off or you can use it as a face wash. A simple easy way to incorporate it into your routine is to soak a couple cotton pads in tea tree oil. When going through your day, simply swipe a cotton pad over your face and rinse to keep acne at bay.

Trial and tribulation How Luke Shawley found redemption in paradise DAVID MCCRACKEN ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

It wasn’t too long ago that Luke Shawley was living his dream with a career as a Navy SEAL. This dream, however, was swept up in a nightmare that he cannot remember.

In March 2010, on an evening that he and some of his SEAL buddies went out drinking on the Las Vegas Strip, Shawley went on a rampage, striking eight innocent bystanders with an aluminum pipe, including a 67-year-old woman.

“It was devastating,” Shawley said. “Devastating because of the loss of what I loved and the embarrassments to my community and a bunch of other things. But even more than that, I was devastated because of what it did to my family.

Shawley was arrested after his rampage that night and was found guilty of seven counts of battery in 2012. He was faced with a possible 15 years behind bars for his actions, but was sentenced to 56 days in jail with probation. Shawley was also discharged from the SEALs in the aftermath of the case.

The judge cited Shawley’s exemplary SEAL record and the likelihood that the attack was drug induced for the reasoning behind his sentencing. Shawley claimed that he inadvertently drank from another person’s glass that might have contained MDMA, otherwise known as ecstasy.

“My defense was that I got drugged and I plead innocent,” Shawley said. “That fact was never disputed but I learned so much from the experience; never put myself in bad situations, to keep myself out of anywhere, stay with my buddies, things like that.”

Shawley now survives on a stipend check included in his football scholarship, a far cry from the lifestyle he had been accustomed to as a SEAL. His background as a SEAL, however, has paid dividends as his training has allowed him to adjust to his new life on campus.

“It’s a lot of work,” Shawley said.

“It’s really just about time management, and I’ve had some experience in the professional world, so it comes a little easier for me.

I just try to help out the younger guys as much as I can and try to teach them those types of skills.

It’s not bad. It’s not bad at all.”

His military history has also allowed elements of his training to translate to success on the gridiron.

Shawley had never played a down of football in his life before being convicted, nor did he even really watch the sport at all. In fact, it was his girlfriend, Ashlie Wilkson, who convinced him to pick up the game and give it his best shot.

“My girlfriend is a big football fan,” Shawley said. “She used to cheerlead for the [San Diego] Chargers. I never even watched football before this and she would always drag me out to the games and I didn’t even want to go. She kept telling me to give it a shot and eventually I did, and I really enjoyed it, and it just went on from there.

From there I went through JUCO [junior college] and learned how to play there and then coach Chow gave me an opportunity.”

According to Shawley, Wilkson actually signed him up for the San Diego Mesa Junior College football team. At San Diego Mesa, Shawley had 17.5 tackles for loss as a freshman in 2012 and 10 sacks as a

sive end, Clune praised Shawley’s dedication to learning the position.

“He’s a tremendous person, a tremendous worker, a tremendous athlete and again he’s still very raw because he’s barely played any football,” Clune said. “A lot of us have played football since we were 8 or 9 years old but this is only second

sophomore. Mesa offensive coordinator Dave Lay then recommended Shawley to UH head coach Norm Chow, who was more than happy to accommodate him.

“He’s [Shawley] an energetic and bright young man,” Chow said. “He’s mature, gives great effort and has great work habits. He’s brought a lot to us. We saw him play on tape and we were looking for some defensive linemen and we scoured the country and saw the tape and fortunately he had an interest in Hawai‘i, so we were able to get him.

He has a bright future and he has great work habits. Anyone who is willing to work will get stuff done.”

Standing at 6’3, 240 pounds, Shawley is an undersized defensive end for UH defensive coordinator Kevin Clune’s 3-4 defense. Despite his lack of ideal height as a defen-

or third year. The impact he makes is that he’s a great example of hard work, of desire to get the job done, of being a good person, a good athlete, good everything. I’m so happy he’s with us.”

Being such a raw athlete and football player, Clune finds it difficult to project the ceiling for Shawley and how much further he can improve.

“I just don’t know,” Clune said.

“I think that once he understands the game, he’s already got all the physical tools, but as you get to the higher levels of football, the mental side of the game becomes extremely important. I mean physically, he’s just going to continue to work hard. He’s still going to continue to be a beast.”

On the field, Shawley isn’t a vocal leader on the team but according to special teams coordinator Chris

Demarest, Shawley’s presence is felt whenever he steps onto the field.

“I don’t think he’s a very overly vocal guy,” Demarest said. “I think what he does is when he needs to speak up, he speaks up. It’s not an everyday thing, but it’s a thing that when it’s necessary, he does it, and because he does it ... people seem to listen to him. He’s got a seriousness about him but does have a sense of humor, which is nice to have on this team.”

Off the field, Shawley maintains his quiet lifestyle as a hardworking student who, like most college students, struggle to find time outside of the classroom to have a social life.

“Man, I’m pretty boring,” Shawley said with a laugh. “I don’t do a whole lot. Just hanging out with the guys from the football team, being in the middle of the season it’s all about school and football. I’ve got two midterms coming up here so yeah I’m pretty boring. In the offseason, I just really try to enjoy Hawai‘ i. Going to the beach and going hiking; I love the outdoors. It really never gets old. Well, at least it hasn’t for me yet.”

As Shawley continues to improve his abilities on the field for the Rainbow Warrior football team, he will always carry the lessons he has learned through the trials and tribulations of his past.

“What it’s all done is brought me a lot closer to my family and taught me what really matters in life; your family and those closest to you,” Shawley said. “That was the silver lining.”

IKAIKA WOOLSEY STARTING QUARTERBACK

Quick start, slow f inish Warrior football drops third straight to Utah State KEOLA KALUHIOKALANI & DAVID MCCRACKEN STAFF WRITER & ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

In a game that pitted two of the Mountain West’s strongest defenses against each other, the unlikely offenses tallied a total of 919 yards in what started off as a shootout.

But the Warriors misfired after the first quarter, as they fell 35-14.

With 12:11 left to play in the second quarter, Utah State all but sealed its victory. Quarterback Ikaika Woosley fumbled on a sack and the ball was returned for a touchdown to put the Aggies up 21-14 and the Warriors never scored again.

When asked about the Rainbow Warriors’ (2-7, 1-3) early success on offense, Utah State head coach Matt Wells talked about the adjustments he made.

“We just settled down a little bit.

We relaxed a little bit and played pretty well upfront. The defensive line was able to shut down the run and maybe try control the pass a little bit, make them a little more one dimensional,” Wells said.

The Aggies (6-3, 3-1) came into the contest leading all FBS schools in players injured for the rest of the season, and were forced to start their fourth string quarterback Kent Myers. In the first four possessions of the game, both offenses were perfect, scoring touchdowns on all four drives leaving the score 14-14.

Utah State came into the contest fourth in the nation in turnovers and its first turnover ended the productivity for UH’s offense.

Woolsey had a career game passing for 356 yards but came up short against the more efficient Myers who passed for three touchdowns on just 186 yards passing.

With the loss, the Rainbow Warriors are all but sure to miss post-season play this season.

Despite all the progress the team made from last year (1-11), the Warriors have just one more win to show for it.

With head coach Norm Chow’s third season almost over, he commented on the team’s progress at this point in the year.

Beyond the Score conceded to an opposing quarterback dating back to Sep. 28, 2012 against BYU when quarterback James Lark completed every pass he threw for a 100 percent completion rate. Lark only threw two passes for 32 yards.

FRESHMAN SENSATION

Making his first career start, USU quarterback Kent Myers had a debut to remember. Myers completed his first 12 attempts of the game and finished 14 for 15 for 186 yards passing with three touchdowns.

Myers’ completion percentage was 93 percent; the highest completion percentage that UH has

On the other end of the spectrum, the Aggies were able to find success running the ball against the Warrior defense, gaining 235 on the ground. Hawai‘i has now surrendered 817 yards rushing to opposing offenses in its last three games, giving up at least 230 yards rushing per game during that span.

Mānoa Maniacs hosted a pep rally on the Friday before the Warrior football team’s homecoming game against Nevada.

Mānoa Maniacs mindful of input In a culture of fair-weather fans, student athletic support maintains its value DENNIS PALMA CASTILLO STAFF WRITER

Every semester, $50 from every student at UH Mānoa goes toward paying a Student Athletic Fee. “Four percent of the athletic fee in everyone’s tuition goes straight to Mānoa Maniacs,” said Genevieve Bradley, chairperson of Manoa Maniacs and member of UH’s swimming and diving team. “We use that to buy all the gear and stuff. That’s why it only goes back to students, because it comes out of students’ tuition.”

As an organization funded by the students, the Mānoa Maniacs work to ensure that the student experience at sporting events is both positive and pleasurable.

“The objective for us is to get people excited about UH and to get people excited about sports,” said Bailee Richards, vice chairperson of Mānoa Maniacs and a UH microbiology major. “We want to give them something to look forward to on campus, and bring up the whole morale, get people hyped.”

“We got the student section at the basketball arena changed, which was a big step that took a lot of work, and we’re really excited

about it,” Richards said. “It gives us a chance to get more people into basketball and have a more unified student section, which is what we’ve been looking for.”

The Mānoa Maniacs are also responsible for generating student interest and fanfare for UH athletics. Events like homecoming pep rallys are planned, organized and executed by the Mānoa Maniacs organization.

“Homecoming was a huge event.

We spent countless meetings over the past few months planning it,”

coming pep rally, Warrior football hasn’t attracted fans to Aloha Stadium the same way Rainbow Wahine volleyball has been able to at the Stan Sheriff Center this season.

It was the same case last season.

In 2013, a one-win UH football team filled Aloha Stadium to 60 percent capacity while a 25-win UH women’s volleyball team filled the Stan Sheriff Center to 80 percent capacity.

There is quite a disparity in the percentages between the two sports, but according to Cassandra Ecraela, a senior business major at

Richards said. “We had to spend time making the games, planning it, rent all the stuff; there’s a lot of planning that goes into big events that people don’t always see. It’s lots hard work, especially homecoming. It was rough.”

Despite the efforts of the Mānoa Maniacs, with events like the home-

UH Mānoa, crowd capacity depends on the success of the team.

“People aren’t usually motivated to leave their homes or dorms to see a losing game,” Ecraela said.

“It’s just not fun to see your home team lose over and over.”

Fans filled Aloha Stadium to 87 percent during the 2007 season,

selling out the stadium two times.

This was the same year UH football went an undefeated 12-0 into the Sugar Bowl.

“Win-loss percentage has a lot in determining game attendance and participation,” said Jonathan Bolosan, a senior music major at UH Mānoa. “Remember how high the attendance was during the Colt Brennan era?”

Bradley won’t let the outcomes of the games determine how students feel about UH sports.

“People like to use that excuse a lot, that if the team is winning then they’d go more, but the die-hard fans go regardless,” Bradley said.

“If there are people in the stands cheering for you, you really feel that inside you. It fuels your performance, it drives your adrenaline and it centers you. You should care about athletics because they’re the students that are just right next to you in class, they’re not professionals or celebrities or anything like that they’re just the people walking around that need your support just as much as you need your math tutor. They need people in the stands cheering them on.”

GIB ARNOLD TIMELINE

The Apple-Arnold connection

COAC H I N G CAREER COMPILED BY DENNIS CASTILLO STAFF WRITER

APRIL 2005

Gib Arnold is hired as an assistant coach by the University of Southern California’s (USC) head basketball coach, Tim Floyd.

JANUARY 2010

USC self-imposes sanctions for violating NCAA rules. Improper cash and gifts were given to current NBA player O.J. Mayo during his one year at USC. MARCH 2010

JESSICA HOMRICH / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

Arnold is released from his assistant coaching position at USC.

Gib Arnold was seen as part of the problem, not the solution.

MARCH 2010 PAIGE TAKEYA SENIOR STAFF WRITER

The ouster of head coach Gib Arnold from the University of Hawai‘ i men’s basketball team caught just about everyone by surprise, including the man himself, his staff and his players.

Arnold told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser that he found out from his wife, who heard it on the radio, about an hour before athletic director Ben Jay spoke to him. His players learned the news in much the same way.

“You wake up, you go to class, and then in the middle of class you hear about your coach being gone,” acting head coach Benjy Taylor said at an Oct. 30 press conference. “And it’s so late in the process. They were disappointed about that.”

While there were murmurs of self-imposed sanctions in the wake of a seven-month NCAA investigation into the program, no one saw Arnold and assistant coach Brandyn Akana paying the price quite like this.

Whether Arnold deserved to be fired is unclear, but what is undeniable is that his removal shouldn’t have been handled like this. The university is turning the Arnold situation into yet another example of its own incompetence.

CONFUSION REIGNS

The No. 1 question on everyone’s mind: Why was Arnold fired?

It is speculated that Arnold and Akana’s removal was due to the ongoing NCAA investigation, but nothing has been officially confirmed or denied by anyone.

That’s part of the problem.

In a statement released to the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, Arnold claimed, “I am being fired ‘without cause.’ That means that UH does not need to prove they have a reason to fire me. It pains me that they are taking my team and career away based on unknown allegations from unknown sources that have not been proven and that I have never been able to defend.”

Equally uncertain when the news broke was the future of the team’s

deserve the best year they can.”

The conclusion drawn from the chaos: Arnold was fired right before the start of the season with no warning to his program, no explanation given and no immediate plan to transition the team – and nobody is happy about it.

ECHOES OF APPLE

“This is an ugly, ugly, ugly situation,” Taylor said. “This is ugly for Gib, this is ugly for the players,

“At the University of Hawai‘ i, we’re great at finding the problem. We suck at finding the solution.”

– GIB ARNOLD FORMER UH BASKETBALL HEAD COACH

coaching staff. Taylor confirmed he would serve as interim head coach for the season on Oct. 31, but the initial four-day uncertainty – as the community speculated about possible head coach replacements – left the team frustrated.

“Nobody saw it coming, but at the same time, we have a game coming in two weeks, so we still have to get ready for that,” senior guard Garrett Nevels said.

Taylor, who reaffirmed both his and the team’s support and continued affection for Arnold, thinks Arnold should have had a chance to defend himself.

“People text me, telling me ‘congratulations,’ but it’s not really congratulations because I was fine with the way things were.” Taylor said. “If I didn’t have four kids and an ex, I probably would’ve walked away, too.

But I can’t do it because of those guys in that locker room … They

this is ugly for UH, this is ugly for the state – I don’t see why anyone wants it to get any uglier.”

Taylor is right in that Arnold’s ouster reflects poorly on the university as a whole. This might have just been chalked up as a personnel fiasco confined to the athletic department if Arnold’s unexpected firing didn’t parallel what happened to former Mānoa Chancellor Tom Apple over summer.

Like Arnold, Apple’s termination hit the public as a breaking news bombshell from local media, working beyond university channels. Just as Arnold was cut right before the start of the season, Apple was cut right before the start of the school year with no concrete transition plan in place. Like Arnold, Apple was sent packing with little public explanation beyond “unsatisfactory performance.” Like Arnold, Apple claimed no wrongdoing and that

he had been unfairly fired.

UH has come off as a villain in these situations – and a bumbling one, at that. Even if Arnold and Apple were not performing up to par, the situation seems immeasurably worse when the cashstrapped university refuses to explain itself, buys out their contracts, pays them to do nothing and then deals with the fallout by half-heartedly trying to rebuild the pieces of the still-broken system.

“At the University of Hawai‘ i, we’re great at finding the problem.

We suck at finding the solution,” Arnold told the Star-Advertiser.

And with no solutions worked out before decisions get made, the worse the problems become.

Four days of ambiguity may not seem like much, but the basketball team – with a scrimmage against BYU-Hawai‘ i set for that weekend – was badly shaken.

“You only have 30 days, only 30 days until the start of the season … The longer [the uncertainty] goes, the tougher and tougher it will be to keep guys around, which will force them to make some very, very poor decisions,” Taylor said.

He confirmed that other schools are already trying to recruit Hawai‘ i’s players and that some of the players are considering leaving. Freshman Sammis Reyes was the first to go, announcing his intent to transfer last Friday.

“The vultures are circling now,” Taylor said.

Rainbow Warrior basketball isn’t dead and it won’t be if the players have their way – neither is the university. But if UH keeps making missteps like this, it’ll be destroying what’s left of the public’s trust.

The uncertainty surrounding the men’s basketball program has left its players pondering their future with the team.

‘The vultures are circling’ Warrior basketball in danger of losing recruits and players due to unclear communication from the university DAVID MCCRACKEN ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

The Rainbow Warrior men’s basketball team has expressed concern over the stability of the program and has demanded answers from athletic director Ben Jay and the university with the season approaching. Those affiliated with the basketball program have realized that the NCAA investigation can damage their recruiting efforts and lead current players to look elsewhere.

“The vultures are circling now,” acting head coach Benjy Taylor said. “I’ve talked to the guys, I told them they can’t be talking to those guys [coaches from other schools], but you got guys calling their former AAU [Amateur Athletic Union] coaches and talking to them directly.”

At least four players have received interest from other schools, according to Taylor, as the uncertainty of the program’s future has the players’ emotions running high and thinking of their future.

“They’re mad at the university,” Taylor said. “They’re mad. They lost a family member. They lost two family members: Coach Arnold and Coach Akana.”

Taylor admitted to the media in a press conference this past Wednes-

day that the parents of some of the players have contacted him and expressed their concerns over the future of their child at UH. “[Parents] hear the echoes of their kids and they want to have them with someone that they trust, most importantly, and any time you send a kid off to school, that’s very important,” Taylor said. “They’re concerned, and I didn’t give them any promises or anything like that.

I told them what my situation was and they were a little surprised at that, but I just told them that I would keep them informed, they have my number and that we’d talk constantly.”

Aaron Valdes, a sophomore forward that was recruited by Gib Arnold, told the media that he has been in contact with his parents about the issues facing Mānoa basketball.

“They were worried a little bit, but when their kids is away at school, of course they’re gonna be worried when they hear their coach gets fired,” Valdes said.

Parents, players and coaches are frustrated about the lack of answers and information that they’ve been given, and patience is running thin across the board.

“They’re [players] being mature about it, but it’s a concern of mine because they’re being tempted and

lured and this would be a horrible time for them to leave,” Taylor said.

“But they need some answers.”

Taylor realizes that time is of the essence for his young squad, and the longer this process takes, the worse it will be for the basketball program. In a closeddoors meeting this past Tuesday, the players and coaches met with Ben Jay where the players expressed their feelings to Jay and told him that they wanted coach Taylor to be their coach for the upcoming season.

“We’re already comfortable with him and already built a relationship with him,” senior guard Garrett Nevels said. “For [UH] to bring someone new in two weeks before the season, that wouldn’t work.”

Coach Taylor felt for his players having to wait for answers through this time, and made sure that Jay knew what the players wanted going forward.

“I just know that I told him [Jay] before he left that I would do the best I can, but they [players] were adamant with him yesterday, and they wanted a decision yesterday,” Taylor said. “The longer it goes, the longer and tougher it will be to keep guys around, which will force them to make some very, very poor decisions.”

These “poor decisions” will

determine the future of Hawai‘ i’s basketball program. According to Taylor, there are some players who are uncertain about their future.

“We have some guys that are wavering,” Taylor said. “So I told them that I don’t want them at practice until they can be there 100 percent; we don’t need any more distractions.”

At the team’s practice on Wednesday, freshman forward Sammis Reyes and Missouri transfer Stefan Jankovic were not present. Jankovic’s altered financial form from last January was the document that UH self-reported to the NCAA, which led to the investigation.

This past Friday, Reyes was the first player to announce his intent to leave the team when he said that he will be transferring to another school after the fall semester.

The NCAA hasn’t revealed the findings of that investigation as of yet, which will continue to leave the basketball program in turmoil until the situation can be resolved. “[Players] don’t want it just to be a wasted year,” Taylor said. “They don’t want that. They told me that if it’s gonna be a wasted year, then we might as well leave.”

MEN’S BASKETBALL The Rainbow Warrior men’s basketball team saw its head coach Gib Arnold and assistant coach Brandyn Akana get fired as a possible result of the NCAA investigation into the basketball program. Benjy Taylor will serve as acting head coach until the university resolves the allegations from the NCAA which haven’t been released as of yet. The team will open the regular season at home Nov. 14 against Arkansas-Pine Bluff.

Junior forward Isaac Fotu is currently ineligible, according to Taylor in a press conference held last Wednesday, and is only allowed to participate in team practices until he is reinstated.

Freshman forward Sammis Reyes was the first player to announce his intent to leave the program amid the program’s uncertain future.

He announced last Friday afternoon that he intends to finish the fall semester as a student and then look for a new team at the conclusion of the term.

WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL The Rainbow Wahine volleyball team went undefeated last week to continue its winning streak as it tries to climb the Big West Conference rankings.

Hawai‘ i defeated UC Irvine this past Friday by the score of 21-25, 22-25, 26-24, 25-18, 15-7 to continue the team’s winning streak to three matches. The ‘Bows were led by Tai Manu-Olevao, who finished the match with 21 kills; also a new career high.

Outside hitter Kalei Greeley and libero Sarah Mendoza were given the Big West Conference Women’s Volleyball Freshman and Defensive Players of the Week honors for their performances during their two match winning streak.

Hawai‘ i extended its undefeated streak to 33-0 against Cal State Fullerton this past Saturday as Olivia Magill finished the night with eight kills on 11 attempts and four blocks, as the Wahine won in straight sets.

ting up numbers. We have numerous players this year who can light it up.”

Kuehu would finish with a nice statistical night, putting up the type of well-rounded performance she often did last year, compiling 10 points, three rebounds, four assists and a steal. Karaitiana battled foul trouble most of the game, managing seven points and six rebounds.

Mānoa received a monster performance from senior point guard Morgan Mason, who posted 15 points, eight rebounds and four assists, as well as junior transfer Connie Morris, who logged nine points, but drew constant double-teams from the Vulcans. Overall, the team scored 32 baskets on 20 assists, while turning the ball over just 14 times.

“Twenty assists to 14 turnovers is much better than we did last season,” Beeman said. “I think last year I called it a turnover-to-assist ratio instead of an assist-to-turnover ratio. We did a good job of keeping the ball moving and letting it find the open person. If we keep that going, then we’re going to be very good offensively.”

A HARD START

JONATHAN BASILIO / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

JEREMY NITTA SENIOR STAFF WRITER

Coming off of a promising season which earned the team its second straight invitation to the Women’s National Invitational Tournament, the Rainbow Wahine basketball team returned to action last Wednesday against the University of Hawai‘ i at Hilo.

Hawai‘i, who finished third in the Big West Conference last year, returns seven letterwinners from last season, including three starters. Among the key returnees are preseason all-conference selection Shawna-Lei Kuehu and reigning Sixth Player of the Year Ashleigh Karaitiana.

The team did lose forward Kamilah Jackson, who concluded her career as one of Hawai‘i’s all-time leading scorers and rebounders, as well as lockdown defender Sydney Haydel.

The team thinks an influx of talented newcomers will help ease the loss of production. Eight newcomers join the team, including five freshmen.

“The newcomers, a few of them really worked hard on the court,” head coach Laura Beeman said.

“They weren’t afraid to put their heads down and drive to the basket. They really tried to pick up on our offensive and defensive strategies. It’s nice to see the youngsters come out and put what they’ve been working on in practice into a game situation.”

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

Fans got their first chance to see the team in action in a pair of exhibitions last week. The ‘Bows put on an intrasquad scrimmage on Oct. 26 and hosted UH Hilo on Oct. 29.

The Rainbow Wahine were voted to finish second in the preseason media poll, behind defending conference champion Cal State Northridge. But Mānoa’s preseason slate will not be doing them any favors.

On Mānoa’s 12-game preseason schedule, national powerhouses Stanford and North Carolina loom in the 2014 Wakīkī Beach Marriott Rainbow Wahine Shootout. Both qualified for the NCAA Tournament last season and met in the Elite 8, where Stanford eliminated UNC. Also on the schedule is California,

“I think we did a great job of sharing the basketball. The chemistry and the intensity, was very good.”

– LAURA BEEMAN HEAD COACH

Overall, the coach stated that the team had performed well, considering how early in the season it is.

“I think we did a great job of sharing the basketball,” Beeman said. “The chemistry and the intensity was very good.”

Perhaps the most encouraging sign for the ‘Bows came in the exhibition game against Hilo. In the first half of the game, Kuehu and Karaitiana, two of the top returnees from last season, had a combined score of just seven points on three of eight shots. However, the ‘Bows held an impressive 45-27 lead over Hilo, despite the performance from last year’s stars.

“It’s not going to be just Shawna and Ashleigh this year,” Beeman said. “There will be nights now where people who we are used to see score are not going to be put-

who also qualified for the NCAA tournament, as well as Colorado State and Pacific, who qualified for the Women’s National Invitational Tournament along with Mānoa.

Last year, seven of the nine teams in the Big West Conference posted at least a .500 record in conference. Mānoa garnered 101 total points in the preseason poll, but third-place Cal Poly finished just two points behind the ‘Bows, and just 26 separated Cal Poly and fifth-place Long Beach State.

“Our preseason schedule is very difficult and very challenging,” Beeman said. “We are going to have to up our intensity if we are going to actually finish second in the conference. If we think that we’re going to coast through the season, then we’re going to be sadly mistaken.”

What to expect from the unexpected How men’s basketball programs have rebounded from a lost coach ANDREW SWITAJ STAFF WRITER

With the removal of both head coach Gib Arnold and assistant coach Brandyn Akana from the UH Warrior basketball program, what is the next step for the program?

Coaches from other programs across the nation have come and gone, and there have been numerous responses to how other basketball programs have handled losing a coach.

The removal process of Arnold and Akana will leave vacant positions in the coaching staff. With the vacant positions, it is crucial that the program decides what, when and how to deal with this situation, especially with the upcoming season only a couple weeks away.

There are several options that the UH basketball program could take to deal with the vacancies in the coaching staff. These options range from looking for a long-term replacement to an interim head coach filling in for a single season.

Several possibilities have been suggested for filling in the vacant positions, and the players of the basketball team have hinted to the athletic director that they want Benjy Taylor as their coach for at least this season. The university has since confirmed Taylor’s status as coach for the rest of the season.

Several universities, such as Iowa, Georgetown and UCLA, have lost their head coaches in the past few years and have a common thread in handling the situation by finding a coach that fits.

IOWA

In 2010, Iowa fired its head coach, Todd Lickliter, after a season filled with 22 losses. Although the removal process was quick, finding a replacement for the head coach position was more challenging. The athletic director of the Iowa basketball program had to find a coach that would start rebuilding a program to compete for the conference title.

As a result of looking for a coach who could rebuild a program, Iowa found Fran McCaffery who brought enthusiasm and purpose to the Iowa men’s basketball team. From his installment, McCaffery has coached the team to the NCAA tournament and increased the attendance for games. This past season, Iowa sold out 11 home games.

GEORGETOWN

Craig Esherick coached Georgetown’s basketball team from 1999 to 2004. After the basketball team won 13 games, its fewest since the 1973-74 season, the program looked for another head coach.

On Apr. 21, 2004, John Thompson III became the head coach for the program, following in the footsteps of his father, John Thompson II, who turned Georgetown into a college basketball powerhouse. John Thompson III grew up with the culture of Georgetown basketball and understood what it meant to be a Georgetown head coach.

In Thompson’s first season, he defeated Pittsburgh, who was ranked 16th in the nation, in the conference opener; a feat that has only been accomplished by two other coaches in the Big East Conference. Thompson’s fit into the culture of Georgetown basketball became more evident in his second season in charge. In his second season, Thompson III led Georgetown to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA tournament.

UCLA

Although basketball Hall of Fame head coach John Wooden left the UCLA program in different circumstances than Gib Arnold, the reaction of how UCLA handled losing a head coach is what is imperative to look at.

During the post-John Wooden era, UCLA went through several head coaches in order to find a possible fit for its basketball program. The most recent change happened in the year 2013, when Ben Howland was fired from the head coaching position.

Despite bringing the team to several NCAA tournaments, the program felt that a change was needed and did what was best for the program by removing Howland as head coach.

On March 30, 2013, UCLA hired Steve Alford, who led UCLA to a Pac-12 tournament championship in his first year.

Alford had accomplished something that was not achieved since 2008.

Mānoa’s basketball team finds itself in a similar situation. Arnold changed the culture of basketball at Mānoa leading the university to its first 20-win season in over a decade last year but Mānoa has closed the book on Arnold’s time at UH and will begin a new chapter starting this season.
