Sustainability groups prepare for summit Energy, course designation are among the focuses DANIELLE KATE VALLEJO CONTRIBUTING WRITER

As the system prepares for another year, sustainability working groups across University of Hawai‘i system are getting ready for next year’s summit.

According to Matthew Lynch, the system’s interim sustainability coordinator, these groups have been creating new sustainable strategies. These strategies will fulfill the goals specified in the Board of Regents policy that was revised last spring semester to set sustainability as a major priority of the UH system, and the groups are working on creating plans on how to during the third annual summit in the spring.

“Sustainability is one of three major themes of the UH system strategic direction and the UH community colleges strategic planning, and is a theme that many people across the UH system, at all levels, are passionate about and are actively engaged with bringing sustainability principles into action and practice through their work,” Lynch said.

“I am excited about the possibilities and share a dream of a future where all ten campuses are actively engaged in partnering with K-12 schools, state departments, nonprofits and local business to build sustainable and resilient communities and informed, empowered citizens.”

The importance of these working groups, according to former sustainability coordinator for UH West O‘ahu and UH Mānoa and current transformational program manager of Hawai‘ i Energy Aurora Winslade, is that they create a place for those with content

expertise, responsibility for implementation and interest in the topic to come together to share best practices, collectively find solutions to overcome obstacles, share data and research, identify actions and make recommendations to the senior administration.

“Working together, we can create better solutions than separately (all paddling in the same canoe),” she said.

These groups are made up of

ity-related certificate and degree programming at the community colleges and universities.

There will also be a UH system Energy Solutions Working Group that focuses on establishing administrative commitment, integration of curricula, research and outreach, funding mechanisms and so forth with regards to energy efficiency.

Lynch said that the groups, along with a core team from the Student Sustainability Coalition of Hawai‘i,

“Working together, we can create better solutions than separately.”

faculty, staff and student representatives from around the 10 UH campuses. There are also additional working groups that will be created based on their area of focus.

THE WORKING GROUPS

The UH system Sustainability Curriculum Task Force will focus on establishing Sustainability Learning Outcomes, aligning current and proposed curricular sustainability pathways, as well as establishing certificates and degrees at the community colleges and universities.

The existing curriculum group is working on an “S” designation that will support faculty that integrate Sustainability Learning Outcomes into existing and proposed curricula, Lynch said. This is so students and faculty have a pathway to learn about sustainability. The groups are also working on the next steps toward creating sustainabil-

will share updates from a number of sustainability initiatives across the UH system at the end of September.

“And (they’ll) leave inspired and prepared to move into a successful third year of catalyzing sustainability in higher education for Hawai‘ i at the 2015 summit,” Lynch said.

AWARDED FOR EXCELLENT CLEAN ENERGY EFFORTS

According to a July UH news release, the UH system was honored among 13 businesses and nine events for its “outstanding and innovative clean energy efforts” at the 2014 Hawai‘ i Green Business Awards. UH was recognized for its environmental stewardship during the 2nd Annual Sustainability in Higher Education Summit. This award was rated as the second highest out of all the 16 green events.

Daita Serghi, former system sus-

tainability coordinator and current program coordinator for the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE), along with Lynch, said the award is really recognition of the many important sustainability initiatives underway across the university system.

All 10 UH campuses, Hawai‘ i Pacific University, Brigham Young University-Hawai‘i, Chaminade and a mix of public, private and community partners participated in the three-day summit, which provided a space to convene system-wide working sessions around ongoing strategic sustainability initiatives, and for knowledge and program sharing across sectors.

“UH is very proud to have this important work acknowledged by the State of Hawai‘ i,” Lynch said.

“Having worked on this event as an outside consultant and facilitator since its inception in 2012, it is an honor to now be working inside the university system as the interim system sustainability coordinator, and I look forward to continuing the good work built upon the strong foundation laid by my predecessors and everyone who has worked so hard to contribute to this initiative.”

According to Lynch, the award recognized the sustainable practices that took place at the summit. There were no paper handouts, reusable plates and utensils were provided, most attendees brought their own cup or mug, and a local caterer with sustainable practices, such as composting the food, prepared healthy cuisine. The summit encouraged carpooling, and the organizers worked with a local sus-

tainable reforestation company to equalize carbon emissions.

“Everyone is enthusiastic about sustainability and have been working for years on it, so now is a wonderful moment to celebrate,” Winslade said.

Sustainability is one of three major themes of the UH system’s strategic direction and the UH community colleges’ strategic planning.

“Future plans have lots of support, enthusiasm and visions which is important for BOR spreading out,” Winslade said.

SUSTAINABILITY ON CAMPUS

Students are also very enthusiastic about the UH system’s plans to enforce sustainability.

“I believe that sustainability is really important because there’s a shortage of the world’s resources and if we don’t learn how to conserve it there’s it’ll be the end of the world. “It makes me happy to know that the university is putting more effort to enforce it,” junior Melissa Mulaplap said.

Students notice the sustainability efforts throughout the campus through things such as recycle bins that are placed in various locations, eateries using biodegradable products and the formation of the Sustainability Courtyard.

“The fact that they built the tables in the Sustainable Courtyard using, eco-friendly recycled bottles is not only ecofriendly but very creative,” sophomore Sharise Tsuha said.

“I also think that having the vegan trucks there adds to UH’s sustainability efforts.”

But with this one, I don’t know if that functionality is possible in the new software that we’re using for this particular website.”

THE ENGLISH-HAWAIIAN WEBSITE Kimo Wyatt, an alumnus of the Honors Program who worked closely with another Hawaiian language student to complete the translation of the original website, said he dedicated months of work to the project after being asked by the previous Honors Program director, Terry Hunt,

Mānoa bids Aloha to Apple Speakers call for UH system to “leave Mānoa alone” ALEX BITTER EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Students and faculty gathered at Hawaii Hall Friday to say goodbye to Chancellor Tom Apple on his last day as the head of UH Mānoa.

About 40 people attended the “Aloha for Chancellor Apple” rally on the Eastern steps of the building home to the campus’s top administrators. The rally was organized late Thursday by many of the same students and faculty who led the effort to reinstate Apple after UH system President David Lassner fired Apple July 30. Attendees carried signs demanding investigations into Apple’s firing and wrote handwritten notes to the chancellor.

Speaking to Ka Leo before the rally, Zoology Professor Marguerite Butler said she isn’t satisfied with the justification Lassner has given for firing Apple. Butler, who organized Friday’s rally, said she appreciated Apple’s effort to improve undergraduate advising and increase graduate student salaries.

“He’s a guy who was trying to do the right thing,” she said. “He got fired for doing his job.”

That drive was also paired with a willingness to discuss campus issues with people who disagreed with him, ASUH Senator Sean Mitsui said, adding that the chancellor regularly worked with students of different views.

“He would embrace us and help us out,” he said.

Apple was not present at Friday’s event, but those speaking at the event said Apple was scheduled to appear Friday at a fundraiser for the Cancer Center. In a statement Butler read to the crowd, Apple asked the campus to work with incoming Chancellor Robert Bley-Vroman to continue addressing problems at Mānoa.

“Though there are challenging times ahead, please do not lose that voice for shared governance that you have found,” he said in the statement. “The heart and soul of UH Mānoa is her students, staff, faculty and community supporters.

It is on your backs that the hard

work falls every day.”

LEAVING MĀNOA ALONE

Several speakers encouraged students and faculty to move forward by lobbying officials within and outside of the university to increase transparency in firing decisions. Bret Polopolus-Meredith, chair of the Graduate Student Organization’s Employment and Compensation Committee, told the crowd Mānoa administrators need more independence from the UH System.

“We need a strong chancellor with greater authority,” he said. “(The Board of Regents and the President) have openly disregarded our voices for a month.”

He said students and faculty should lobby the state legislature to revamp the university’s administrative structure and minimize the system’s influence on UH’s flagship campus.

“You need to leave Mānoa alone,” he said.

Margaret Maaka, a professor in the College of Education, said she wants to see the offices for the Board of Regents, the President and other system administrators moved off the Mānoa campus.

“I just don’t want them on this campus,” she said.

And as far as she can tell, the deans still do not have permission to hire new staff without levels of review from the vice chancellors.

“Everything is not normal at all,” she said. “The kind of representations that have been made to you by our vice chancellors … that’s not the reality I’m living and that’s certainly not the reality that the person I laid off is living.”

REVIEWING THE REQUESTS

NOELLE FUJII NEWS EDITOR

After news of a hiring freeze rocked the campus and created concern among deans and department heads about whether they would be able to offer some fall courses, Mānoa’s vice chancellors say 99 percent of requests to hire were approved.

“We are not stopping critical hiring,” said Kathy Cutshaw, vice chancellor for administration, finance and operations. “We are asking the question when they come to hire, ‘Do you have the budget to hire this person? And if you don’t have the budget, how are we going to get the budget so your resources are healthy?’ So it was meant to be a budgetary review.”

Chancellor Tom Apple announced the freeze on July 15, stating that the campus needs to trim its spending by $10 million this year and next “ in order to regain our budget equilibrium,” according to a memo issued that day. The freeze took away deans’ ability to hire unless a position was deemed essential, a decision that caused concern among faculty and college leaders.

But, according to Cutshaw, all lecturers and graduate student positions for fall were approved.

“We have not denied any lecturers or graduate students,” she said. “… It was meant for a budgetary review.”

The number of lecturers and graduate assistants hired for this semester will not be known until later in the semester, Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Reed Dasenbrock said. According to Dasenbrock, the fall semester began last week with all essential classes open.

A BUDGETARY REVIEW

Meda Chesney-Lind, chairwoman of the Women’s Studies department, said the freeze being a budgetary review is an understatement.

She said the vice chancellors’ scrutiny goes beyond faculty positions, instead focusing on classes that they suggest could be cut because of low enrollment.

She said she had to fire one lecturer on her first day of her career at UH. While Chesney-Lind hasn’t heard of any graduate assistant layoffs, she said her college was told to cut more than the initially reported one percent of assistants.

“The percentage of our lectur-

According to Dasenbrock, the review, which was completed before the semester began, looked at requests to hire lecturers and graduate students. He reviewed all the position requests and said some lecturer requests were denied when class enrollments looked small.

“We’ve kicked back some classes that were very small and said, ‘Do you need this?’” he said. “We wanted to make sure in every single case there were alternatives (such as alternative course sections for students).”

One college, he said, had four sections of a course, one of which only had five students enrolled.

“We’ve been, I would say, scrubbing the requests, but the vast majority has gone through,” he said. “Every essential course needed by the student should be offered.”

Student help, such as undergraduate student hires, also needs to be approved for the colleges, he said,

“We have not denied any lecturers or graduate students.”

– KATHY CUTSHAW VICE CHANCELLOR FOR ADMINISTRATION

ers we were told we should cut was closer to 10 percent not one percent,” she said.

and the vice chancellors are approving a certain budget amount rather than individual student hires.

A review like this hasn’t been done before, he said, adding that from 2009 to 2012, then-chancellor Virginia Hinshaw reviewed all tenured-track hiring.

This current review is more detailed than what was done in the past because of the campus’ challenging budget situation. Dasenbrock said the campus plans to go back to conducting an annual budget review where the deans pres-

ent their overall budget picture and modify the current process.

FREEZE STILL IMPACTS GRADUATE STUDENTS

According to Jonathan Dial, co-chairman for the Graduate Student Organization’s Advocacy Committee, the organization has received reports from graduate students who didn’t receive teaching assistantships this semester and had their classes cut.

He said graduate students must teach courses in order to receive their tuition waivers.

“If we’re not able to get the classes that we need to meet the tuition waiver, then how are we supposed to pay for school?” he said. “A lot of people are actually considering dropping out completely or taking a year off until the hiring freeze is over.”

And although most graduate student positions were approved, there’s still an effect on a small portion of students who won’t have a job.

“That one percent, those are

cellor and you lose your job and you get another $100,000 job,” said Nick Changnon, co-chairman of the GSO’s Advocacy Committee. “These are people who have to do without, without food sometimes.”

Dial said the freeze may make fiscal sense, but he and the organization are concerned about how it’s adversely affecting students.

“If they’re taking away tuition waivers and our ability to teach

classes, then how can we make a living?” he said. “They’re just going to lose graduate students, which means they’re going to lose lecturers, which means all the departments are going to shrink, which means the undergrads are going to suffer. It’s just a big downhill trickling effect.”

LOOKING AHEAD

The vice chancellors are still deciding what to do for the spring semester.

“We are going to be looking at the overall budget picture of a number of colleges and looking at their tenured-track hiring plan, which is really a discussion about next year’s budget,” Dasenbrock said.

After looking at tenured-track hiring, they will look at the spring semester.

“Whether we’re going to be doing exactly what we’re doing right now, we’ll have to see,” Dasenbrock said, adding that in some cases, some lecturers have been approved for the entire year.

Looking at the stars Campus launches astrophysics, astronomy degrees

SHANE GRACE / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

UH Mānoa is second in the UH system after UH Hilo for establishing an astronomy degree.

NOELLE FUJII NEWS EDITOR

Hawai‘i is perfect for astronomy, according to astronomy instructor Geoff Mathews, but the Mānoa campus didn’t have any undergraduate degrees in astronomy and astrophysics until now.

“And UH of all places with it’s great telescope on Big Island and Mauī, good research institute for astronomy and a strong physics and astronomy department, it’s just obvious and it’s timely that we (Mānoa) should have such a program,” said Pui Lam, Department of Physics and Astronomy chairman.

The Board of Regents approved the launch of these two degrees at its Aug. 21 meeting.

Comprised of 62 credit hours, the astrophysics degree program is intended for students who want to study the origin of the universe and how solar systems are created, Lam said. According to David Sanders, astronomy graduate program chairman at the Institute for Astronomy, astrophysics is more of a professional science degree for someone going on to graduate school.

“In other words, an undergraduate degree in astrophysics is almost a necessity if you’re going to go on to graduate work and get a Ph.D. in the field because astronomy is basically a subset of physics. It’s just physics applied to stars and galaxies,” Sanders said. “So it requires a pretty good background in physics, math, and then depending on what branch of astrophysics, you could have some biology and chemistry as well, but in terms of undergraduate degrees, the easiest thing to say

is it requires more credit hours and the hard sciences.”

The astronomy program, which requires 48 credits, is intended for students who are interested in how stars are formed in the historical way, rather than the physics behind it.

Both programs require courses in astronomy, physics, math and chemistry.

PROGRAMS WORTH WAITING FOR

According to Lam, the process to create these degrees started more than two years ago, but it really began in the 1960’s when the then-physics department became the department of physics and astronomy.

During that time, a group of astronomers had been hired into the department and later established the research astronomy institute. Some taught introductory astronomy courses but there was no full program.

“But as time gone fifty years later, actually even before that, they realized that it’s important to create a undergraduate degree program in astronomy and astrophysics also,” Lam said.

Sanders has been wanting the programs here ever since he arrived 25 years ago.

“I was absolutely surprised when I came here that we didn’t have an undergraduate program in astronomy,” he said. “And 25 years ago, it was still possible at many institutions to have a combined program more physics-related and maybe astronomy as a minor and that was all you need, but that has changed so rapidly because the field of

astronomy is growing so much.”

What’s happened, he said, is that peer institutions around the world have established separate astrophysics and astronomy programs.

“We’re one of the largest programs in the world and yet, graduate programs, but we haven’t established an undergraduate program,” Sanders said, adding that the reason is because the astronomy institute is a separate institute.

“But that’s changing.”

The institute and physics and astronomy department are also considering a minor in both astrophysics and astronomy. They have not defined the requirements, Sanders said, and it probably won’t be done for another year.

THE CLASSES

There are approximately seven new courses the department and

institute are offering for the new majors, Mathews said.

One such course is an observational astronomy lab that Mathews is teaching. According to the campus’ course catalog, students will learn about error analysis as well as properties of light, data and image processing. They’ll also learn about astrometric, photometric and spectroscopic measurement.

In the course, students will be working with some professional-grade telescopes that are designed for educational purposes, such as the Faulkes 2-meter telescope on Maui.

According to Mathews, only the sophomore-level astronomy courses have been taught before.

This year, they will be piloting the junior-level courses.

“I’m very excited about this. I mean it really took us a long time to get

together to create this, and the timing is right because the people are interested in doing it and we have the resource to do it,” Lam said.

The institute and department are working on a website for the new degrees, but until it’s up, students can direct their questions to: undergrad@IfA.hawaii.edu.

“Hawai‘ i is so perfect for astronomy,” Mathews said. “You know it is one of the world’s centers for astronomical research so in terms of students learning astronomy and having access to the leaders in the field, you know, I’m glad that we now have that opportunity to make that connection for students to have them learning from some of the best of the best.”

UH RANKS AS MOST DIVERSE IN NATION

LAVA HEADING TOWARD PUNA IS NOT SLOWING DOWN

RUSSIAN FORCES’ INVASION OF UKRAINE UNDERWAY THURSDAY

SAND ISLAND MAY BE A LOCATION FOR TEMPORARY HOMELESS CAMP

The University of Hawai‘i system ranks as most diverse in nation.

The 10 UH campuses are among the top most diverse campuses in the nation, according to a list by the Chronicle of Higher Education.

UH Hilo was ranked as the most diverse four-year public institution, and Windward Community College was ranked as the most diverse campus in addition to leading the public two-year institution rankings.

The Mānoa, Maui College and West O‘ahu campuses ranked two through four on the list of most diverse four-year public institutions.

National data was used to calculate the probability that any two students from at an institution are from different ethnic groups.

Experts with the Hawai‘ i Volcano Observatory say that the lava flow heading toward Puna on the Big Island is not slowing down.

In fact, the lava is less than two miles away from the Kaohe Homesteads Subdivision and that there are no signs of it stopping.

The flow threatens homes, farms and high-powered transmission lines connected to the Puna Geothermal Facility.

The lava is not posing any direct threat to residents, but scientists with the U.S. Geological Survey believe that the flow could reach those areas within weeks.

The USGS will be doing daily flyovers to track the lava flow.

Up to 1,000 Russian troops crossed Ukraine’s southern border Thursday to fight alongside pro-Russian rebels, a U.S. official said. Russian troops were reported to be directly involved in the latest fighting, despite Moscow’s denials.

According to Mykhailo Lysenko, deputy commander of the Ukrainian Donbas battalion, rebels backed by Russian tanks and armored personnel carriers fought Ukrainian forces on two fronts Thursday.

Ukraine’s National Defense and Security Council said that Russian forces were in full control of Novoazovsk, a town along Ukraine’s southern coast and about 12 miles from the Russian border, as of Wednesday afternoon.

The city is considering Sand Island and several other locations to be temporary homeless camps.

According to Mayor Kirk Caldwell, an interim solution is needed, and in the meantime, the city is looking for a place to do permanent supportive housing in a temporary fashion.

The city said it plans to open the center in three months but the exact location and the size of the operations are still being worked out. The facilities will include tents for the homeless as well as more permanent buildings.

JEFF TOPIAC / FLICKR 

The fatal shooting of Michael Brown occured on Aug. 9.

FERGUSON’S TRUE OFFENDERS: THE PROTESTORS KRISTEN PAUL BONIFACIO OPINIONS EDITOR

Ferguson, Missouri captured the nation’s attention after violent rioting ensued within the city following the shooting of 18-year-old, Michael Brown. As the city recovers and life for the neighborhood returns to normal, a lesson can be learned from this event – anger is not the solution for justice.

JUSTICE OR VENGEANCE?

For 10 days, city police and citizens of Ferguson clashed, as the community demanded answers.

Nightly riots turned dangerous as people began vandalizing and looting local business. Windows were shattered and a local convenience store caught on fire as a result of the chaos.

Residents wanted justice for the death of Michael Brown, and they took action. But if protestors thought that causing havoc in the city’s streets was appropriate action, they were greatly mistaken. Their actions are not acts of justice, but rather illegal and criminal behaviors fueled by anger and vengeance.

Outrage over a situation with a

magnitude to that of a death of an unarmed youth is understandable.

However, local leaders of Ferguson should not have allowed their citizens to respond in the way that they did.

Their behavior only exacerbated the situation, and the media’s attention shifted to the violence caused by the riots rather than on the death of Michael Brown – the reason the protests began in the first place.

It was also unnecessary for the residents to express their hate toward the police. Policemen and their vehicles were targeted

during the riots, and some officers received death threats following the incident.

As the riots ensued, protestors became increasingly outraged at the police when they began using tear-gas and equipping themselves with military-grade weaponry and armor. Regardless of whether these were needed, it was the behavior of the protestors that caused the police to feel that it was necessary.

DOING IT THE RIGHT WAY

Rather than using violence, residents of Ferguson should have expressed their anger in more

effective and peaceful protesting.

Although it may be difficult, it is not impossible. And even though some residents did hold silent vigils, it was overshadowed by chaos.

Angry residents would not have listened to the police. It was therefore the responsibility of local leaders to unify their community in a time when the people were divided. The event that unfolded at Ferguson will not be the last. An incident of this type will happen again, and Ferguson will be a lesson to learn from.

All work, no pay The hidden benefits of unpaid internships ABBYGAIL SADOY STAFF WRITER

The idea of working for free may or may not leave a sour taste in one’s mouth. Unpaid internships are nothing new, but a lot of students and recent graduates are unaware of the benefits that can come from them.

THE REAL LIFE EXPERIENCE

 SHANE GRACE / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Visit UH Manoa’s Career Center for more information: manoa.hawaii.edu/careercenter.

What better way to learn about a career than in the environment itself? Students are able to observe, ask questions and gain mentorship from the professionals themselves. One can think of an internship as a free trial for careers. At the end, you can decide whether or not this is the career path for you.

“It’s a great opportunity, senior communications major Nikki Atienza said. “There’s only so much you can learn through a textbook, so might as well take full advantage, especially if it’s an internship in your career interest.”

Sometimes the best way to figure out what you’re supposed to do is to learn first what you’re not supposed to do.

THE PROBLEM

Because there isn’t a standard student, unpaid internships can be a hindrance for some more than others. The main issue is financial stability. The majority of students have either a part-time or full-time job in addition to their classes.

Some students are not in a position of paying for all their expenses themselves, and they can’t afford to take on an unpaid position.

Time is another issue. Many internships typically require at least 10-15 hours per week and sometimes students with and without jobs don’t have room in their schedules.

But if there’s a will, there’s a way.

THE BENEFITS

Sometimes, a lot of departments offer the opportunity for an internship to be counted toward three credits in their major. Stu-

dents paying for school will gain valuable work experience without another class to worry about.

Although work is still required for internship credits, the addition of work experience prevails.

Along with the trial and error process, the networking and possible employment opportunities are undoubtable. A job well done is a job well noticed. Internship can be understood as a three-month long interview. After showing best efforts, by day 90 one could be offered a job. If not, one’s name could be passed along to other connections. Networking is golden.

The skills and experiences one gains can provide more knowledge than what can be taught in a classroom. Work experience in general is proven to be a necessity in today’s work force. Even with a stellar GPA, proving one can do the job is a prerequisite to any and all positions. Perhaps instead of “time is money,” internships can be regarded as “time well-spent.”

ICE BUCKET CHALLENGE An effective viral trend with a cause

MORE INFO

BY THE NUMBERS

$94.3 million MONEY RAISED SINCE JULY 29

KRISTEN PAUL BONIFACIO OPINIONS EDITOR

They’re everywhere. Videos of people dumping buckets of iced water on themselves all for the sake of charity are popping up in every social media network. The ice bucket challenge is currently one of the biggest viral trends to hit the Internet, and for once, a trend with a good cause went viral.

A BREATH OF FRESH AIR

I have never been a big fan of viral trends. Reading Internet memes and watching videos of people doing the Harlem Shake were fun, but they were meaningless.

Their purpose was for entertainment only, and after a while, repeatedly seeing people do the same thing became tedious. The ice bucket challenge, with its cause, is a breath of fresh air for a history of trends that have often been pointless.

What’s different about the ice bucket challenge compared to previous trends is that it’s popular beyond the general public. Numerous celebrities such as Lady Gaga, Oprah, James Franco and even former President George W. Bush have joined in on the cause. Their public advocacy has helped the challenge gain popularity.

Reports from the ALS Association indicate that people are following through with the charitable aspect. Since the trend began two months ago in July, the organization has received $94.3 million in donations. Information from Google trends also shows that more people are searching for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or ALS. The challenge was originally set up so that a nominated person either donated to a charity or had a bucket of iced water poured on them. However, after

numerous shares on Facebook, doing the challenge has become associated with donating.

ALS is a destructive disease that slowly paralyzes a patient suffering from it. According to the ALS Association, the average life expectancy for a person diagnosed with the disease is two to five years. The attention and popularity that the organization and the disease have received over the months is appropriate.

Since the trend began two months ago in July, the organization has received $94.3 million in donations.

FINDING FAULT

With the success of the ice bucket challenge, it’s a surprise that it’s receiving criticism. Opponents feel that the challenge is encouraging people to waste water, pointing that people in some Third World countries are suffering from drought.

However, this argument undermines the importance of the awareness that the challenge promotes. By performing and filming the ice bucket challenge, people are helping spread awareness of the deadly disease.

Although videos of people performing the challenge contain little to no information about ALS, the videos are successful in educating the public that such a disease exists. Yes, the challenge may be using resources, but the payoff is worth it.

FAST FACTS ABOUT ALS & THE ICE BUCKET CHALLENGE KRISTEN PAUL BONIFACIO OPINIONS EDITOR

ALS stands for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. It is also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.

ALS works by attacking the body’s nerve cells responsible for voluntary movement.

The ALS Association was not originally associated with the ice bucket challenge.

The death of a teenager in Scotland has been linked to the ice bucket challenge.

Professional golfer Chris Kennedy is credited with starting the challenge.

Clarkson University in New York State in the East Coast holds the record for the largest number of people doing the ice bucket challenge at the same time, with more than 700 student participants.

The ALS Association wants to trademark the phrase “ ice bucket challenge.”

There is no cure for ALS.

MAN ON THE STREET

Did you vote in the 2014 primary elections?

PHOTOS AND TEXT BY LISA GRANDINETTI ASSOCIATE OPINIONS EDITOR

In the 2012 election, Hawai‘ i’s voters from ages 18 to 29 turned out at a rate of 30.5 percent. This placed our youth voters in the bottom five states for voter turnout in the U.S. Students at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa actualize the attitude of disengagement as this unfortunate statistic suggests.

“No; I don’t want to register to vote and I’m also not that politicallyy active or informed. (Politics) gets a bad reputation so I’m not too stoked on it. I just let those people do their thing.”

“No; unfortunately I couldn’t because I wasn’t in the country. I would vote normally because it’s important for you as a citizen to put your voice in and it’s also important because there’s a lot of people who don’t have the privilege of voting, who don’t have that right and it’s something that a lot of people take for granted but it’s so essential to get it is that you want done on a bigger scale.”

Be a warrior for mental health CLARA KAHAHANE CONTRIBUTING WRITER

With the start of the new school year, students from all over the world began calling the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa their home. Young adults, on their own for the first time, become vulnerable to the stress and homesickness caused by college life.

It is therefore a critical time for us to provide an open and understanding environment for these people, especially if they are secretly batting a mental health problem.

Often, mental illnesses such as depression remain hidden because of the stigma that comes with them.

MENTAL HEALTH

“No; because I don’t know anything about

politics, not enough to vote. Honestly I’m just not that interested.”

“No;

I’m preoccupied. My parents follow politics in great detail but I’m more focused on school. I know that politics affects school but school is expensive.

It’s my last semester so I really have to crunch down on everything and I really don’t have enough time to watch and follow everything each candidate is doing.”

JAMIE UY Senior “Yes;

I definitely think it’s important for citizens to vote, and especially youth, because the people we elect now impact decision-making, policies and different things that will have an effect on our lives so it’s important to get involved.”

RICHARD MIZUSAWA Graduate Student

KEITH PARRISH Senior “No;

I didn’t register because of a lack of information. I guess I didn’t take the initiative to find the information and I would expect to see it in the future.”

SAMUEL AGUIRRE Graduate Student

When I was a freshman in 2012, the weight of my existing depression and anxiety, coupled with homesickness and the stress of college, became overwhelming. It didn’t help that my dad passed away shortly after finals weeks in spring. Life became very difficult, and my coursework seemed impossible to keep up with.

It was at that time that I realized something – there is an elephant in the room on our campus. People who have mental illnesses walk among us at all times. They push themselves to the brink due to stress from school and watch their grades drop as they struggle to make it through another day.

They suffer in silence.

A 2012 study by the National Alliance on Mental Illness showed that 40 percent of students with diagnosable mental health conditions did not seek help, and 57 percent did not request accommodations from their school.

The University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa offers mental health treatment through the Counseling and Student Development Center located in the Queen Lili‘uokalani Center for Student Services, and those with mental illnesses can receive accommodations from KOKUA. Two years ago, I was not aware that the university had these programs. I had to discover them myself though the school website. It was with much trepidation that I finally stepped into the CSDC and KOKUA offices, not knowing what to expect.

The university should better prioritize advertisements for these services. The University Health Services newsletter should include information about KOKUA and the CSDC, especially around stressful periods such as finals week.

There should also be an update on the university’s websites to better list the services and make it easier for students to

access pertinent information. The services should be discussed during New Student Orientation and when incoming students first arrive on campus. This is so that incoming freshman and continuing students alike know where to turn.

THE BATTLE

Mental illness has a major negative connotation. According to the same NAMI study, the number one reason why students with mental illnesses did not seek help is concern of stigmas.

Common assumptions about people with mental illnesses are that they are lazy, whiny, maladjusted or weak. Young adults throw around words like “retarded,” “psycho” and “bipolar” without considering what they mean.

At first, it was scary for me to acknowledge my condition. But I realized that, by staying silent, I was perpetuating the suppression of my own voice. In order to diminish the stigma, more people with mental illnesses have to “come out” and show that they are a normal part of the student community.

According to the findings of the American College Health Association, one in every four college students has a mental illness. That’s more than a quarter of the entire student population and more than people assume.

But the barrier of stigma keeps those students isolated and scared.

BE A WARRIOR

Whether depression or any mental illness is foreign to you or not, contributing to eliminating the negative atmosphere associated with them is necessary. It depends on this generation, the current students of UH Mānoa, and all other universities across the world, to end the suffering.

This is a call to arms. I know that people with mental illnesses are not weak. We are strong. The power to enact change is in our grasp, if we are brave enough to use it. Those who don’t suffer from mental illnesses probably have friends or family that do. Let the force of your love for them motivate you to lend a hand and be a warrior.

WITTY WAHINE:

“A guy walks into a bar…” and happens to find several women on stage, bringing the crowd to a wave of laughter. It’s something that is often not seen: a group of female comics doing stand-up comedy.

The Female Comics of Hawai‘i is currently the only female comedy

she signed up for a weekly joke contest that was held by local comedian Andy Bumatai at Chinatown bar called Dragon Upstairs.

“I’ve been doing it ever since,” Swartkopf said.

From there, she turned to Facebook to find other women who had the same aspirations of becoming comedians in Hawai‘i, thus building the Female Comics of Hawai‘i.

“It’s a male-dominated thing and women don’t make much money.”

– ERIKA SWARTKOPF FOUNDER, FEMALE COMICS OF HAWAI‘I

THE FEMALE COMICS OF HAWAI‘I group in the state of Hawai‘i. First started in November 2011, the group has grown from its original three comics to a total of 20 female standups who have participated since.

At the head of this group is Erika Swartkopf, an employee at UH’s admission’s office, who does stand-up comedy full-time.

“I started this group in 2011 with two goals in mind: to give women more stage time and to make some money for female comics, because it’s a male-dominated thing and women don’t make much money,” Swartkopf said.

Swartkopf started her career in stand-up comedy in May 2011, when

The group now consists of six women, including Swatkopf, Brandi Morgan, Michelle Welch, Kay Shine, Michelle Mak and their emcee Patrice Scott.

Substitute teacher and geriatric nurse Scott claims that she has always been a comedian.

“I’m known for having a very quick wit. I usually have a good one liner in most situations,” Scott said.

She said she also likes being able to “work the crowd” as an emcee, allowing the audience to relax and be at ease before each show.

For Morgan, however, comedy is a way to express her true self.

“I was actually shocked by how

accepting people were about a transgender comedian,” Morgan said. “Since then I’ve done comedy at a lot of straight clubs and the reaction has been very gratifying.”

While these women come from all walks of life, they each share the common thread of humor. When asked how they get their inspiration, they replied that you must “laugh at yourself,” or “find the absurdity in life.”

“It (also) helps if you don’t have a censor. I don’t have a censor. I’m more inclined to say what it was or whatever it is,” Swartkopf said.

Swartkopf agreed that the best comedians are the most honest.

For those who are looking to become comedians themselves, the group’s advice is to go out there and just “do it.”

“A lot of women in Hawai‘i are intimidated by comedy and they shouldn’t be,” Swartkopf said. “We need more female comics in this male-dominated profession.”

A GUIDE TO MINDFUL DINING ON CAMPUS DOORAE SHIN SENIOR STAFF WRITER

BRAD DELL / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

Health-conscious students often grow weary of the limited food choices on campus, especially when most of the food is fast food. For all those who desire more local, organic foods to keep them energized and revitalized in classes, this is the go-to guide for navigating the dining options offered on campus in an earth- and self-respecting manner.

V IA G EL ATO ’S FROSTED F LAKES FLAVO R BRAD DELL FEATURES EDITOR

Via Gelato is known for creating unorthodox gelato concoctions such as li-hing shiso, pumpkin haupia and black sesame. Then there’s the Frosted Flakes gelato. It’s not an especially strange flavor combination like the aforementioned, but it stands out with its spot-on imitation of the classic cereal.

The gelato isn’t overly sweet vanilla with corn flakes crushed in like I expected. Thanks to the trademark silkiness of gelato (the milk), the sweet flavor (the frosted sugar) and the freshly made waffle cones (the corn flakes), it’s just like eating an actual bowl of Frosted Flakes, albeit much colder.

In the words of Tony the Tiger, “It’s grrrreat!”

Sprout: New sandwich restaurant in bloom Anyone can slap cold cuts and bread together and call it a sandwich, but it takes skill to combine sandwich ingredients in such a way that all the flavors enhance and elevate that classic lunch staple.

DANIELLA REYES CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Anyone can slap cold cuts and bread together and call it a sandwich, but it takes skill to combine sandwich ingredients in such a way that all the flavors enhance and elevate that classic lunch staple.

Sprout, the newest of three sandwich shops in Waialae, does this well. Opened in late May, Sprout’s goal is to serve healthy, delicious food with as many local ingredients as possible.

AMBIANCE

Sprout is a tiny shop nestled between the Crack Seed Store and an arts and crafts store. Once inside, the decor is charming and fun, with skateboards on the wall and a large, colorful chalkboard that serves as the menu. Despite

the compact surroundings, the atmosphere was cheerful and friendly, with the latest indie pop tunes playing over the speakers. A nice touch I particularly liked was the cooler of fruit-infused water.

My friend and I ordered our food at the counter and stepped aside to watch as our sandwiches were prepared in the area behind the counter – no room for separate kitchens at this joint. Our food took about five to 10 minutes to arrive, and as there were only about three places to sit in the entire shop, we decided to take our sandwiches to go.

After we had ordered, however, a line of about eight people began to form, and I overheard the wait times for sandwiches increase to 20 minutes. If you go during the lunch rush, be prepared a while for your food.

MENU

Sprout’s menu, colorfully displayed in chalk along one wall, features nine gourmet sandwiches with unique names such as The Sproutwich and The Fonz. Catering to various types of diets, there are meat, vegetarian and vegan options as well as a choice between ciabatta or gluten-free bread. Most sandwiches are around $9, with the cheapest option being The Keiki ($6.50), an almond butter, banana and honey creation. Extras on the menu include cold-pressed juices, baked goods and energy bars. Many of Sprout’s ingredients are locally sourced or made in-house.

TASTE

The crew member taking our orders was happy to list her recommendations. I went with The Floater ($9), which consists of oven-roasted

turkey with pickled red onion, apple slices, melted Brie, butter lettuce and house mayo. Upon first bite, I remarked, “It tastes like Thanksgiving.” The savory taste of the turkey, which was thick-cut and generously portioned, complemented the sweet apples. While I could have done with a bit more lettuce, the soft bread was delicious and I enjoyed my sandwich.

Also ordered was The Don Patrol ($7.50), which has mozzarella, tomatoes with basil, garlic aioli and balsamic reduction. The sandwich is simple with ingredients that should be light and balanced, but it was overpowered by something sweet, most likely the balsamic reduction.

All of the ingredients were of the finest quality, but I did not enjoy The Don Patrol as much as I did The Floater.

That’s right, the kimono-cardigan is the new hot item. You will most often see it worn with a pair of high-waisted shorts and a solid colored tank top. You can find it at most department stores such as Ross, Nordstrom, Nordstrom Rack, Macy’s and Forever 21. Don’t be caught wearing a floral print blouse with a different floral kimono. That is a fashion faux pas.

Skin-tastic How does every smart girl beat the Hawai‘i heat? By showing some skin! Here is how to do it while still keeping it classy.

Lauren Roxton Staff Writer

Scalloped shorts

Crop tops

There are many fabrics for this hiss hi style, so the options are numere rr ous. With so many variations, n s, you can pair them with almost o stt anything. For a more refined ed look, opt for a tailored cut with th h a large scalloped bottom and d a boxy top in a similar fabric and nd d neutral color. To go for an edggier look, you can wear a pair of dark shorts in a textured fabric ric ic with a bold, colored top.

Everyone has seen these around lately. Wearing these is risky because of the length of your torso in proportion to the top itself.

You want to show your midriff without having anything fall out. Your belly button is going to show while wearing these, so they aren’t for the faint of heart.

Depending on your personal style, you can wear a tight crop top with high-waisted shorts or circle skirt. Alternatively you can wear a loose one with a pair of boot-cut jeans.

Dresses and skirts with slits

When picking a dress for the warm class days, you’re going to want to choose one that allows for airflow. You won’t want anything that sticks to your skin or you will be sweating bullets walking to class. You can get one that has complete cut-outs or one with a lace underlay. To accessorize this dress you can either go simple and pair it with some strappy sandals or jazz it up with chunky jewelry.

Since these skirts can be flowy, you should have a tighter top so that the outfit doesn’t look too baggy. If the dress has a slit, be careful that it doesn’t go too high up or else you might expose too much skin.

Bustier The lingerie version of a bandeau is a risqué alternative to wearing a traditional top. These are very flashy and pair well with simple bottoms because of their typical intricacy. If you are going to the club, you can wear this with nothing over it, a skin-tight skirt and a simple pair of pumps. Or, for something during the day, you may want to cover up a bit more with a flannel and show through just a small portion of skin with the small detailing of the bustier.

Rompers

Off-the-shoulder dresses

It’s a dress mixed with shorts. You only have to put on one thing and you don’t have to worry about matching. Wearing a loose romper shows enough skin to keep cool and is a little bit flirtatious.

Rompers can be found almost anywhere, so picking one that you like is usually a breeze. Make sure you try them on though, as many of them can look good on a hanger but fall strangely once on your body.

These dresses are great for going out. This isn’t a day-to-day look, but it’s a great way to show skin without being raunchy. From long sleeves to a thin strap and everything in between, there is a style for everyone. Since these dresses are usually simply designed, you can go for a pattern or bold color to spice up the look. If you don’t want to wear something as colorful, you can wear a neutral dress with bold jewelry and heels.

Sheer shirts If you’re looking to stay cool while still wearing a beautiful shirt on, this is the way to go. You can pick your favorite color or pattern and put it over a tank top of a similar color. This way, you get the detailing of the shirt but don’t have to have your clothes cling to you. You can wear these with pretty much anything, since they go on top of your everyday clothes. There are many different materials to choose from – like crocheted or chiffon – that can give each look a different feeling.

Lace underlays No one wants to have shorts that are too short or a top that isn’t intricate enough. These are typically sheer and shouldn’t be worn without something under or over them. You could put a neutral tank over or wear them under something else. If you’re wearing them with shorts, match the color with whatever else you have on.

Things to take away from the narrow defeat Nick Huth Associate Sports Editor BETTER THAN LAST YEAR

Last season’s 30-13 defeat to No. 24 USC served as a blunt reminder to Hawai‘ i fans of the disparity of both talent and coaching on the sidelines. The Warriors were held to just 231 total yards against an offense that exploded for 27 consecutive points. Hawai‘i ran the ball for only 23 yards as a team, and threw four interceptions for a miserable day on national television.

This year’s performance saw Hawai‘ i outrun the Huskies on the ground, and finish the game with more total yards on offense than the No. 25 ranked team in the nation. The early 17-10 margin in the first half served as a stark contrast to the 20-5 deficit at halftime against the Trojans. Ikaika Woolsey’s turnover-free performance kept the Warriors in the game, despite the difference in talent on the sidelines.

DEFENSIVE DOMINANCE

The game against Washington marked the first time in 21 games that Hawai‘i was able to hold a Division I opponent under 20 points. In Kevin Clune’s first game as defensive coordinator, his defense stepped up to the task, despite being the physically smaller team on the field.

Clune’s crew also held the Huskies scoreless in the second half, as Woolsey and the Warrior offense attempted to make their comeback. A sequence to to highlight their impressive play came midway through the second half, when they held the Washington offense to six straight posessions that ended in a punt.

BALANCED ATTACK

Not only did the Warriors outgain the Huskies in total yards, the attack on offense was balanced both on the ground and through the air. Hawai‘i’s 217 yards on the ground beats their 114.6 yard average in 2013 by a large margin. Joey Iosefa outran his counterpart Lavon Coleman 148 yards to 78, and he was helped by 44 yards from quarterback Ikaika Woolsey.

In the pass attack, the Warriors started out strong before eventually coming back to reality in the second half. Woolsey started the game 6-of-6, which led directly to the early 10-0 lead for Hawai‘ i.

Although the sophomore finished the night with a less than stellar 55 percent completion rate, his 207 yards are more impressive due to his lack of turnovers.

CRUCIAL MISTAKES

A cluster of untimely mistakes from the young Warrior defense directly led to the seperation that

eventually gave Washington the victory. The first of which hapenned in the second quarter, when the Warriors stopped Washington on a key third down in their own territory.

The incomplete pass from Washington was negated by a roughing the passer penalty from Hawai‘ i.

Two plays after the error, the Huskies capitalized with a reverse play to score their first touchdown of the game.

The next big mistake directly led the second, and only other touchdown, that Washington would score on the night. After a successful drive into Washington territory, Hawai‘ i decided to press its luck by going for a fourth down conversion instead of the more reliable field goal. The play was stopped by Washington, and immediately following the turnover on downs, the Huskies scored on a 91-yard pass play to shock both fans and players alike.

Volleyball Challenge

Great Expectations

Wildcat transfer Olivia Magill adds double-threat to Rainbow Wahine ANDREW SWITAJ CONTRIBUTING WRITER

There are several new faces on the women’s volleyball team this season, but few stand above 6-foot-2 middle blocker Olivia Magill. The former University of Arizona Wildcat joins a group of talented recruits burdened with the challenge of replacing last season’s record-breaking graduates.

Magill is not a typical transfer as she brings both a defensive and offensive boost that the Wahine will be looking forward to this season. While having the opportunity to join a team with as storied of a past as the ‘Bows is incentive enough, the family atmosphere of the university was a large influence on her decision to make the move to UH. Even though Magill was born in Seattle, Washington, she is no stranger to the Hawaiian Islands as she faced Hawai‘i in the Outrigger Hotels and Resorts Challenge last year in September and brought Arizona to a second place finish behind the ‘Bows on her way to the All-Tournament Team. Magill enjoys the atmosphere that envelops Hawai‘ i and volleyball, and hints that it will be nice playing for

the ‘Bows this time around.

However her ties to the islands stem beyond that of the court. Her family has traveled many times to the islands and she has an aunt living within the state.

“It’s nice knowing that if I need anything they can help and that they’re rooting for me” said Magill, regarding her family ties on the islands.

The support from her family allowed Magill to make the difficult choice of leaving her starting spot for a chance to play under Shoji. Magill said that one of the key factors in her final decision was that “The direction (of Hawai‘ i’s volleyball program) and atmosphere is good.”

As a freshman at Arizona, Magill earned the Pac-12 All Freshman honorable mention award by leading the Wildcats with 104 blocks on the season as well as tallying the second-highest hitting percentage on the team. She continued to improve as a sophomore, leading the team with 119 blocks and a hitting percentage of .335 while accumulating 202 kills.

According to prepvolleyball.com, she was ranked as the No. 37 recruit in the country in 2011 where she was also named to the 2012 Vol-

Rainbow Wahine soccer season preview

 FADI YOUKHANA / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

The Wahine dropped their first two matches against Arizona State and Texas before beating Northern Illinois.

DAVID MCCRACKEN SENIOR STAFF WRITER

The University of Hawai‘i women’s soccer team is back in season and is eager to showcase the youth and exuberance of a new squad that is anticipating success with the hope to build momentum off of last year’s campaign.

The Rainbow Wahine finished last season with an 8-8-1 record, tying for fifth place in the Big West.

The 2014 Big West Preseason Poll, voted upon by the Conference’s head coaches, selected the Wahine to finish fifth again this season out of a possible nine teams.

Of the conference’s nine head coaches is Hawai’i head coach Michelle Nagamine, who begins her fourth year as at the helm of the women’s soccer team at the University of Hawai‘ i at Manoa.

Just the second coach in the 20-year history of the program, Nagamine has been essential to the rebirth of women’s soccer at

UH with her passion, dedication, and respect for the game and her opponents.

Nagamine has surpassed every expectation from preseason polls over her first three years, and will look to do so again this upcoming season.

This year’s team has already hit a speed bump in its road to success this season as their leading scorer from last campaign, Tiana Fujimoto, was lost for the year due to foot surgery she had last month.

Fujimoto led the Rainbow Wahine with 10 goals last season, with seven of those goals leading directly to victories. As she redshirts her senior season with hopes of regaining her top form next year, there are some interesting, young players who can take the field and contribute immediately.

Sophomore midfielder Storm Kenui made a significant impact last season in what was her freshman campaign. Fourth on the team in total shots taken, Kenui was

The Rainbow Wahine do, however, have junior defender Lidia

not afraid of pulling the trigger in front of goal and with the valuable experience she gained last season playing in all 17 games, she will be looked to as a leader in the midfield and forward lines.

Another sophomore looking to build off of a successful freshman campaign is forward Kama Pascua. Pascua registered four goals in her first season with the Rainbow Wahine, while leading her team with 41 total shots taken.

Named to the Big West All-Freshman Team last season, Pascua will look to take that next step in the development of her game.

Not only does coach Nagamine have to find out who will be scor-

Battaglia returning this year after a very impressive sophomore campaign that earned her an All-Big West Honorable Mention. Battaglia will be a central presence in this coming season’s backline, and will be depended upon by coach Nagamine to step up and lead her young defensive unit by example.

To help Battaglia in defense will be freshman defender Paige Okazaki. Okazaki is a tall presence on the backline, standing 5’7, and

will immediately make her pres-ence known to opposing forwards. s.

Although just a freshman, Oka-zaki should be able to step in n immediately and earn a spot next xt to Battaglia.

The last line of defense won’t n’t be an issue or concern for the he Rainbow Wahine, as goalkeeper per Monk Berger returns to her spot pot between the posts for her sophohomore season.

Berger was named to the AllBig West Freshman team last year, ear, while setting a new single-seaseason UH record for shutouts –sevseven-along the way. As long as Berger erger keeps her place on the field, not much will be able to get past her.

Each preseason is always full of optimism and wonder, and this year is no different. A young and energetic squad looking to improve on a .500 record from last season, the Rainbow Wahine soccer team will generate some noise in the Big West Conference this season.

Players to watch WARRIOR FOOTBALL’S RISING STARS

GAVIN SHIGESATO / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

JEREMY NITTA SENIOR STAFF WRITER

With the 2014 football season underway, here are a handful of players that could prove to be the next group of stars for the Rainbow Warriors.

MARCUS KEMP

Last season, head coach Norm Chow brought in a quartet of freshmen wide receivers that boasted both impressive size and athleticism. Those receivers: Keith Kirkwood, Vasquez Haynes, Ammon Barker and Marcus Kemp, were expected to serve as long-term anchors for the program.

Fast-forward one season, and that quartet has been cut in half.

Kirkwood transferred in the offseason, and Haynes is not on the active roster after surgery. Meanwhile, Barker redshirted last season and as a result has no in-game experience. That leaves much of the pressure on Kemp to shoulder the load among the receivers if the Hawai‘ i passing game hopes to be effective.

Kemp, a 6-foot-4, 185-pound receiver from Layton, Utah, had a nominal impact as a freshman, appearing in 11 games and catching 11 passes for 110 yards. Still, he is one of the only returning players with experience outside of senior Scott Harding, following the graduation and departure of Chris Gant and Billy Ray Stutzmann.

Much is expected here in his second season, and his position coach believes he is poised for a breakout year.

“He’s shown a lot of growth,” receivers coach Luke Matthews said. “He came in last year, and it was all kind of a blur for him. He

was just a freshman, and we threw him out there in the USC game. But now, he’s had time to settle down and work on his technique.”

And this year, Kemp is also commanding more attention and respect from his peers.

“Marcus is a quiet guy,” Matthews said. “Everyday, he comes out and lets his playing do the talking. I think that’s one of the best kinds of leaders that these young guys can see. There’s a lot of guys that do a lot of talking, but don’t get the job done. Marcus comes out here, and he gets it done when it’s time to

bination of size and speed to win against defensive backs, and has proven himself as an appreciated commodity for the Rainbow Warriors.

“He has amazing hands, and while he’s a big body, he has deceptive speed,” Matthews said.

“Opponents see that big body and don’t think he’ll be that fast. But a receiver has to be fast, and Q can run with any of our defensive backs, and he’s one of the fastest of our receivers.”

Also, Pedroza’s two years of experience at Utah has been a big

work. And when he does speak up, everyone knows it’s time to listen, because of his work ethic and playmaking ability behind him when he talks.”

QUINTON PEDROZA

With the aforementioned exodus of wide receivers from last year, another player who has emerged as a potential breakout player is junior receiver Quinton Pedroza.

Pedroza, a transfer from Utah, saw minimal playing with the Utes before deciding to transfer to Mānoa. After sitting out last season due to NCAA transfer rules, Pedroza has been one of the players to seize the opportunity to start due to an overall lack of experience.

The 6-foot-2, 220-pound Pedroza is a different type of receiver from others on the UH roster. The Chino, California native utilizes a com-

help for a novice receiving corps.

“Quinton is new, but he also still brings a lot of experience,” Matthews said. “He had a couple years at Utah, and then transferred over.

So he’s had those couple years under his belt and knows how it works and how games go. He’s been in the lights, and he brings us that in-game experience for the younger guys.”

KENNEDY TULIMASEALII

Tulimasealii came to Mānoa surrounded by hype. The 6-foot-1, 280pound freshman out of Wai‘anae was touted as the crown jewel of Chow’s 2013 recruiting class, and many expected him to be an impact player, if not a star, immediately.

Instead, an ankle injury suffered in fall camp sidelined Tulimasealii for the first two games of the season, and when he did make his

debut for the Rainbow Warriors, he served more as part of a rotation with players like senior Siasau Matagiese, and juniors Marcus Maleapai and Moses Samia.

For all his hype, Tulimasealii had a decent first year, playing in nine games and making nine tackles as essentially the fourth defensive tackle in Hawai‘ i’s rotation. Still, it was far from what many fans expected.

This year, Matagiese is gone after completing his collegiate eligibility. Meanwhile, Tulimasealii has looked impressive in fall camp and has locked down a starting role at defensive end in defensive coordinator Kevin Clune’s new 3-4 alignment.

“I can’t say much about how he was last year, but from what I’ve seen of him in spring ball, I can tell you that he is a load,” Clune said.

“Whatever ways the offense is trying to attack him, he keeps finding ways to beat it and be disruptive.

He’s disruptive in the run game, and strong in the pass game. I couldn’t be happier with what he has brought this year.”

Fellow returnees Samia and Maleapai are expecting to have roles in the new system, but Clune and the Rainbow Warriors are expected big things from their sophomore end this season, and for years to come.

“I’ve seen other guys make impacts as true freshmen, and I’ve also see guys not figure it out until their senior year,” Clune said. “Kennedy has found success early, and I’m glad for that. It’s maybe not unheard of for someone to do that, but it’s a great thing as a coach because you know he’ll be making a big impact for the next two or three years.”

TJ TAIMATUIA

In a defensive system like Clune’s, strong linebacking play is essential to the unit’s success. After all, the team is electing to utilize four linebackers, rather than the three used in traditional defensive sets.

Last season under former coordinator Thom Kaumeyer, the Rainbow Warriors used the traditional three linebackers. As a result, junior linebacker TJ Taimatuia saw limited time as a backup, but still showed some flashes of playmaking ability. Such had been the case for the Fagasa, American Samoa native: bouncing in and out of the lineup, while showing some promise.

This year, Taimatuia has been given a chance to finally be a starter at outside linebacker under Clune, and has seized the opportunity.

“Among our outside linebackers, Taimatuia in particular has done a great job,” Clune said. “In spring ball, everything was so brand new and everyone was kinda swimming a bit. There are a lot of responsibilities, and now overall, he’s done a really good job of locking in. He knows the calls and formations and how to set himself up for success.”

Taimatuia’s ability to quickly grasp Clune’s system is essential, considering how important players at his position are to the defense’s success.

“The defensive system will evolve based on how those outside linebackers perform,” Clune said. “Ideally, we’d like to be able to call a number of different plays in a third-down situation and have them really go after it. But it’s really up to them. If they prove they’re up to it, they’re gonna have a big role in what they do in the defense.”

BLAKE’S TAKE

Change for the better How Norm Chow seems ready to fix his mistakes

LYLE AMINE / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

Chow played a pivotal role on three national championship teams in 1984, 2003 and 2004.

BLAKE TOLENTINO WEB SPECIALIST

If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it. No doubt, this sentiment drove Norm Chow throughout his coaching career. Having had a hand in the some of the greatest offensive units in the history of college football, Chow knew what it took to be a great quarterback, and a great offensive unit.

For decades, Norm Chow had engineered offensive juggernauts.

He’d mentored some of the brightest stars in the game, coaching quarterbacks like Steve Young, Jim McMahon and Phillip Rivers. His offenses dominated the first half of the 2000’s, reinvigorating two suffering programs in USC and NC State, winning two national titles along the way. Few college coaches have left as much a mark on the game as he had.

One could argue that no other coach in Hawai‘ i history had seen as much consistent success in college coaching as Norm Chow.

A NEW ERA

Because of this success, Chow came to UH promising change in the wake of former head coach Greg McMackin’s slowly sinking ship. He did indeed bring change, eschewing the Run and Shoot for a balanced offense that relied on traditional concepts of a strong running game to set up the pass off of play action. Instead of the familiar aerial attack, Hawai‘i would utilize a robust backfield to produce its yards.

Upon his arrival, Chow immediately threw the previous tenant’s stuff out on the street, clearing

out McMackin’s staff to bring in his own crew.

The team flopped hard in his first season as a result of his changes.

The team was still primarily built to run the Run and Shoot. It was designed to pass protect before run block. The receivers weren’t there to overpower cornerbacks on the edges, they were built to take advantage of mismatches against linebackers and safeties from the slot. The shift from the relatively simple Run and Shoot to the complicated offense ran by many pro teams was too much to accomplish

Chow tried to implement his classic scheme, only for it to backfire.

Compared to the previous season, the 2008 Bruins averaged 50 yards less per game. Khalil Bell, the leading rusher on the 2007 team, saw his average yards per carry cut in half. Starting quarterback Kevin Craft looked lost on the field at times.

It wasn’t that Chow had forgotten how to coach. Instead, the college game had evolved. Defenses had improved, and offenses had responded by ditching traditional looks for schemes that spread the

in a single offseason. Quarterback Sean Schroeder struggled to connect with his receivers, producing Hawai‘i’s worst offense output this millennium.

The once-revered Chow went from coaching one of the best offenses in the nation to one of the worst in less than ten years.

Something had broken, and it needed to be fixed.

FORESHADOWING

But something had broken a long time ago. While many remembered Chow’s exploits with Reggie Bush, Ty Detmer and Carson Palmer, his recent history should have served as a red flag for fans. Following a brief stint in the NFL, Chow had been the offensive coordinator for UCLA. Taking over a team with respectable talent in 2008,

field to create space for their weapons. Without the wealth of superior talent he’d had at USC, Chow could no longer effectively run his tried and true offenses. Instead of adapting to his personnel, Chow tried to pound a square peg into a round hole with disastrous results.

Chow’s offenses continued to flounder at UCLA and later, Utah.

Finally arriving in Hawai’i, Chow again refused to adapt to his established group of players. And when he did attempt to adjust, he chose ineffective options, hoping to spark the offense with odd gadget plays and a quarterback carousel that that squandered everyone’s potential. When Chow joked to the media that he was too old to be an effective head coach, many wondered if Chow hadn’t let the mask slip briefly.

After decades of teaching, it was finally time for him to learn. However, he didn’t seem ready for the task in his first two seasons.

THE THIRD YEAR’S A CHARM

Chow’s first two seasons showcased his stubbornness in the face of adversity as he struggled to adapt to the increased pressure of a head coaching position, leaving fans fearful that the final years of his contract would be more of the same. Fortunately, it seems Chow might finally be making some meaningful adjustments.

The selection of Ikaika Woolsey as the starting quarterback is the first hint of Chow’s newfound flexibility. A stark departure from the pocket passers Chow has long been known for developing, Woolsey is a concession to the current personnel. Playing behind a line that has averaged 41 sacks allowed in the past two seasons, Woolsey’s mobility may very well provide Hawai’i with a better chance on offense compared to Taylor Graham or Jeremy Higgins, who both possess more traditional skill sets.

Chow seems to have abandoned his old school game, sensing the need to evolve. With Woolsey’s athleticism comes a new offensive philosophy designed to amplify Woolsey’s best attributes by having him make plays out of the pocket.

While a healthy Joey Iosefa may seem to be the biggest gain the offense has to start the season, Woolsey’s dynamic nature might be the offense’s best asset by the end of the season.

Perhaps the biggest sign of Chow’s growth as a head coach, however, is the hiring of Kevin

Clune. One of Chow’s biggest errors as a first time head coach was letting former defensive coordinator Dave Aranda go upon his arrival.

Chow misjudged Aranda’s talent back then, only to watch as he ascended to take the defensive coordinator position at Wisconsin.

Chow may have missed the boat with Aranda, but he made a smart hire in recognizing Clune’s potential. Clune learned under Aranda in his one year stop at Utah State, and was key to developing one of the top defenses in the Mountain West. Clune’s hiring isn’t just a subtle acknowledgment of the blunder of losing Aranda, it’s an aggressive step towards fixing the problem Chow created. Chow can’t get Aranda back, but he got the next best thing in hiring one of the principle architects of the imposing Utah State defense.

HOPE FOR THE FUTURE

Chow may not turn around the team this year. The offense will still be a work in progress, the schedule is tough, and consistent performance from such a young team is unlikely. However, Rainbow Warrior fans shouldn’t jump ship just yet. After two years of struggling to adapt, Chow finally seems ready to change, both in response to his personnel, and in response to the changing game around him. Many fans left Chow for dead after last season, but he might just have one more trick up his sleeve. If he can pull it off, the football team’s future will be significantly brighter than it appeared last year.
