UH gets $4.6M for educational networking and research The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded the University of Hawai‘i a multi-million-dollar grant to support the international research and education network connections in the Pacific.

The $4.6 million grant will support two links from Australia and New Zealand to Hawai‘i and the U.S. Mainland. Both links connect in the Pacific Wave network exchange and will provide connectivity to research and education networks across the U.S. and Asia.

“UH has a long and rich history as a leader in academic networking and Internet development in the region,” said David Lassner, UH President and principal investigator for the grant.

The links will be able to transmit 40 Gigabits of information per second and are provisioned over submarine fiber optic capacity provided by the Southern Cross Cable Network (SCCN) to Australia’s Academic and Research Network.

As part of the five-year project, these links will be upgraded to 100 Gigabits per second each in 2016.

Australia and U.S. collaborations that will be supported through this project include astronomy, oceanography, high energy physics, coral reef research and more, according to a release.

“The first international Internet connection to Australia was implemented over 25 years ago as a partnership between AARNet and UH, and we remain uniquely positioned to lead this effort as the premier research institution in the Pacific,” Lassner said.

Chow announces four captains for 2015 season Rainbow Warrior football head coach Norm Chow announced his selection Tuesday of four captains for the 2015 season.

Chow selected seniors offensive lineman Ben Clarke, defensive back Ne’Quan Phillips, linebacker Lance Williams and quarterback Max Wittek.

“We have four seniors and what’s even more interesting is they come from four different parts of the country,” Chow said. “That’s what makes it even more important, because this group will become a team once we get the leadership in place.”

Chow said the captains were voted by their peers.

“It’s a very important honor, and I expect them to provide some real leadership,” Chow said. “In order for us to become a good football team, it will depend on that leadership.”

From Littleton, Colorado, Clarke started 13 games last season at left tackle and was named the team’s Offensive Player of the Year for the second time in his career. He also garnered all-Mountain West honorable mention recognition for the third consecutive year, was on the Lombardi Award Watch List throughout the season and was chosen third team all-MW by media outlets Phil Steele and College Sports Madness.

A Miami native, Phillips is another three-year player and has started 28 games, appearing in 37 in the defensive secondary. Last season, Phillips recorded a team fourth-best 54 tackles (47 solo, 7 assisted), including six for loss and three sacks, forcing one fumble and scooping another.

He also collected six pass breakups and one interception. He was previously selected for all-Mountain West honorable mention during his sophomore campaign.

Representing O‘ahu on the list of captains is Williams, a Farrington High School graduate, who has made eight starts at linebacker, but has been a fixture over his career at UH, playing in 35 games. Last season, he registered 25 tackles (11 solo, 14 assisted), including one for loss. He also collected a fumble recovery, one hurry and blocked two kicks for the Rainbow Warriors.

Wittek, a Norwalk native, came to UH from the University of Southern California. At USC, he played in 13 games between the 2013 and 2013 seasons, starting two games, combining for 600 yards passing on 50-for-95 (52.6 percent) completions, accounting for four touchdowns.

Buildings across Nepal were destroyed after the earthquake, leaving homes reduced to rubble.

Earthquake in Nepal prompts relief efforts SHIWANI JOHNSON SENIOR STAFF WRITER

After an earthquake with a 7.8 magnitude (Mw) on the Richter scale struck near Nepal’s capital, Kathmandu on April 25, relief efforts are underway.

The Society of Nepalese in Hawai‘ i (SNEHA) has been taking donations on its website and sold “I Love Nepal” t-shirts at the booth it set up at Campus Center on April 29 and 30 and held a candlelight vigil at Kennedy Theatre on April 30. SNEHA will also held a fundraiser dinner May 3 at the Himalayan Kitchen in Kaimuki.

“This is, obviously, a big tragedy. It is something that will unfold slowly, though, there will be more and more people that will be found in the rubble. But, even beyond that, once the work of rehabilitation begins there are going to be huge needs … anything that anyone can do will help,” former U.S. Ambassador to Nepal James Moriarty said.

GIVING HELP

Moriarty has been in contact with people currently suffering the reality of earthquake aftermath, such as a Peace Corp member from Hawai‘ i and friends from his time in Nepal. People affected by the earthquake and most others are sleeping outside, exposed to the elements and are in need of aid.

Aid to Nepal has been reaching the country in many different ways.

The United Nations is releasing $15 million from its central emergency response fund to allow international humanitarian groups to scale

up operations and provide aid to Nepal, according to MSN. India, the U.S., China, Malaysia, Pakistan and Israel all sent planes to Nepal. The planes brought aid and rescue personnel to the Kathmandu airport.

According to Moriarty, programs like CARE and World Vision, which already have a base in Nepal, are the ideal organizations to donate to aid efforts.

“My recommendation, strongly, is that people funnel money directly into those groups. They have people on the ground and they have best shot at getting aid to the most needy places most effectively,” Moriarty said.

THE EARTHQUAKE

Susan Hough, a geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey, told the Washington Post that the earthquake that hit Nepal did not come as a surprise. Nepal is situated where the Indo-Australian tectonic plate pushes beneath the Eurasian plate.

The pressure caused by the movement of the Indo-Australian and Eurasian plates causes the earthquakes that occur in this area.

The earthquakes happen at such a regular interval that geologists and seismologists had been expecting something of this magnitude.

The most recent earthquake of this scale, clocking in at 8.2 Mw, happened 81 years ago, in 1934.

As of May 1 the death toll, according to Reuters, is 6,250, with the number of injured at more than 14,350.

Kathmandu has been decimated, houses across the country have been destroyed and certain roads made unusable. According

to MSN, rural areas were spared from a majority of the devastation due to lack of city-like development. In cities, people were dragged from inside buildings with broken legs and arms.

PREPARING FOR DESTRUCTION

Allen Clark, a current East West Center (EWC) senior fellow, has worked with the government of Nepal for the past seven years creating plans for disaster management.

According to Clark, Nepal has only recently begun creating a comprehensive disaster management program, which covers everything from laws and policies that dictate response and action in a disaster situation to the creation of institutions that respond in event of a crisis.

“When you look at where Nepal was, they were developing the capacity, but it was not operational … I think they did a pretty good job given the circumstances,” Clark said.

One issue that seems to be more problematic than was expected is the airport. The major airport for the entire country is the Kathmandu Airport, according to Clark. Because of this, anything coming in or out of the country, be it people or supplies, is backed up. The back up is causing problems with aid efforts.

“Keep in mind that this a very small and a desperately poor country. Its overall capacity, be it institutional, monetary, people or whatever, is not capable of handling this … the military is not very large and its not well equipped, this is usually who provides as much assistance as possible. They are fighting a really difficult battle at the present time,” Clark said.

Winning teams are chosen for DKI site-planning contest

SOURCE: CLIFFORD PLANNING AND ARCHITECTURE 

The graduate students showed their site plans to Ken Inouye in February.

A pair of students who won the Daniel K. Inouye (DKI) Center site planning contest aimed to reflect the aloha the late Sen. Daniel Inouye demonstrated throughout his life.

“Our main concept was the concept of aloha. Partly because [Inouye] was from Hawai‘ i and he brought aloha to Washington and to the world … We thought that aloha was a great topic for our project and for the space that we wanted to create,” said Caterine Picardo Diaz, a member of the winning team.

Diaz and team member Stephanie Nagai won first place in the DKI Student Project Award Contest, which was composed of six student teams, all of which were enrolled in a Department of Urban and Regional Planning course.

INCORPORATING THE LATE SENATOR’S SPIRIT

According the College of Social Sciences (CSS) website, the DKI Center, upon its completion, will honor and build upon the work and legacy of Daniel Inouye. The late senator was Hawai‘i’s longest serving public servant in the capitol.

The goal of the center is to show his spirit of leadership and values of freedom, fairness and integrity.

Both winning teams endeavored to incorporate his spirit and values in their work. The two teams presented their conceptual site plans at the award ceremony on April 27.

The presentations included site analysis data such as topography, vegetation and pedestrian traffic, landscape possibilities as well as each team’s inspirations and hopes for the center.

The current plan is for the center to replace the current Henke Hall, located by Hamilton Library and Moore Hall. The groups made use of the space around the building, including the walk way to McCar-

Aloha Bash called off Annual celebration postponed until next year, at earliest NICOLE DAVIS SENIOR STAFF WRITER

Due to various problems, the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Campus Center Board (CCB) decided to postpone the Aloha Bash.

Alycia Kiyabu, president of CCB, said that while she wouldn’t call the postponment “indefinite,” it would not be happening until next year.

While CCB at UH Mānoa is in charge of programing and planning the Aloha Bash, Student Events and Campus Life Services Director Sarah Yap said this year the board was unable to plan the event for reasons including lack of funding, security, venue and overall resources available.

FAILURE TO LAUNCH

Yap said the Aloha Bash began in 2004 and has “pretty much been happening annually since then.”

According to the CCB schedule for the Spring 2015 term, Aloha Bash wasn’t scheduled on the list of events. Yap stated that during each term, plans continuously change for the CC Board.

Yap said CCB is still planning their budget and schedule for next year, but they do plan on hosting the Aloha Bash then.

According to CCB Feb. 9 meeting mintues, the board was waiting to set a date for the event. In the board’s March 9 minutes, a new date of May 8 was set but had to be

thy Mall, the lawn in front of Hamilton and the lawn next to Kennedy Theatre.

Diaz and Nagai’s site plan layout included open spaces, such as terraces, amphitheaters, bicycle paths and dryland taro gardens. According to Nagai, she and Diaz tried to create a space for people to gather in the spirit of aloha.

Clarice Schafer and Dayna Vierra, who took second place, chose to focus on the two aspects of Sen. Inouye they thought most import-

ant: his integrity and ability to bring people together. According to Schafer, the design-with-nature approach they elected for, that also worked with the current building’s natural ventilation and solar panel configuration, facilitated in bringing people to together.

By analyzing existing congregation zones and landscapes, Schafer and Vierra created a plan for an outdoor study lanai with handicap access, rain and banyan gardens, as well as a restaurant that utilized sustainability practices, such as composting and recycling.

“Like Daniel K. Inouye went about with his life, [we should be] conducting our lives with a manner of integrity and bringing people together ... We hope that can be embodied in the Daniel K. Inouye Center,” Schafer said.

A CONTEST TO SHAPE A COMMUNITY

At its inception, the contest consisted of six teams of students enrolled in PLAN 678, an Urban and Regional Planning (URP) graduate course taught by Professor Priyam week of April and features local musicians.

In the previous years, the turnout for the bash was high. Tickets for students were $5 pre-sale and $15 the day of in 2014.

Their work definitely shows that.

I think we all came away really happy with the results,” Das said.

According to Das, every summer and fall she works to find a community project that her students will be able to work on for the spring semester.

For this project, students spent a little over six weeks conducting research and developing a creative design that reflected the character of the late Sen. Inouye and served the function of the Center.

After this first stage of the project, the groups presented their works to Ken Inouye, son of the late Sen. Inouye and other professionals, from whom they received feedback.

All teams submitted their conceptual site plans to a panel of judges that determined the two winning teams and awarded them cash prizes from the DKI Institute and the Department of Urban and Regional Planning.

Community members and UH faculty involved in the project commented and gave praise to the two groups at the ceremony. Ken Inouye expressed his appreciation and admiration for the project via video chat from Washington, D.C. “You folks did a really amazing job ... The thing that hit me when I was looking over the work that you all put together was how well thought out it was.

“The purpose of the Campus Center Board programing is to highlight [the campus center area], it is the gathering place … and bring people together, at the student union,” Kiyabu said.

Kiyabu said that every year CCB is allotted a budget and students decide what activities they want to put on for the upcoming year.

Sometimes the budget and schedule get changed along the way for various reasons.

Hawai‘ i medical marijuana dispensary bill in jeopardy Legislative tension has slowed progress

 [ICON] SOURCE: FLATICON; DANKDEPOT / FLICKR

Twenty-three of 50 U.S. states and Washington D.C. have legalized medical use of marijuana.

RAVEN BELLAMY SENIOR STAFF WRITER

A bill that would allow for medical marijuana dispensaries in Hawai‘ i has potentially halted as a result of tension between the state House and Senate.

House Bill (HB) 321 would establish a new chapter for medical marijuana dispensaries and limits amounts that can be purchased. However, House members who have disagreed with Senate amendments — and vice versa — have caused an ongoing delay that started April 16. The May 1 change of conferees further contributed to the delay in a decision. Now, a conference committee meeting has been called for May 4.

“The lead negotiators on each chair are far apart on a variety of issues,” said House Rep. Karl Rhoads, in a telephone interview on April 30.

“The bill is in jeopardy. I don’t know if anything is going to pass.”

DIFFERENCES IN THE CAPITOL

According to Susan Chandler, Public Policy Center director and task force member and facilitator, the Chairman for the Committee of Health Sen. Josh Green, has a different approach to the way he wants to do the dispensaries.

“It looks like the difficulty now in the senate is on the number of the dispensaries,” Chandler said in a telephone interview on April 30.

“The question now is: how many dispensaries should there be, and where should they be, and who should be able to run them?”

In addition, multiple senate members believe the proposed dispensary is insufficient and have submitted testimony in opposition of HB 321.

“While HB 321 ... addresses a number of concerns previously expressed by this Department and other testifiers, in many ways, it still lacks sufficient limitations, controls, standards and regulations to prevent or minimize abuse by those who would attempt to utilize such a system for the illicit use and/ or diversion of marijuana,” said Sen. Gilbert Keith-Agaran and Sen. Tokuda in written testimony April 8.

Members of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means, the Senate Committee on Judiciary and Labor, as well as the the Department of the Prosecuting Attorney of the City and County of Honolulu also contributed to the testimony.

Among a list of proposed amendments, the group wants a limit of one dispensary license per county and only six dispensaries state-

wide. In addition to this, the senators proposed Senate Bill 682 to be incorporated into HB 321 so that it “would prohibit medical marijuana from being consumed or removed from its sealed container in all public places,” limitations of dispensary transportation of marijuana and make patients opt to either grow their own or utilize a dispensary and not both, according to the testimony.

This proposal has been met with disagreement from the House, and ongoing conference meetings have taken place to discuss the difference.

ESTABLISHING DISPENSARIES

Last year, House Concurrent Resolution 48 (HCR 48) requested that the Univeristy of Hawai‘ i’s College of Social Sciences Public Policy Center conduct and oversee a task force to “develop recommendations for the establishment of a regulated statewide dispensary system for medical marijuana,” according to their website. Representation was included from the legislature, state agencies, the medical profession, law enforcement, the Drug Policy Forum, the American Civil Liberties Union, a caregiver and two medical marijuana recipients.

According to a previous Ka Leo report, the task force’s goal was “to get a consensus, and avoid a minority report – a report of members that don’t agree with recommendations.”

“For many years, the state has been trying to develop a way to dispense medical marijuana that is legal,” Chandler said.

Chandler said the task force spent a lot of time listening to medical marijuana growers from other states, patients, police departments and doctors and believes the task force came up with a good compromise.

CURRENT LAW

According to Americans for Safe Access (ASA), Hawai‘i enacted a law in June 2000 that allowed seriously ill patients to use and grow their own medical marijuana.

Current Hawai‘ i law allows medical marijuana patients to have up to seven live marijuana plants, according to ASA. However, the law fails to address medical marijuana dispensaries or sources where patients can gain access to medical marijuana. Currently, no marijuana dispensaries in Hawai‘i exist.

Rhoads says that HB 321 is intended to allow medical marijuana patients to use the law that was passed in 2000.

“As a public policy, if you’re going to say that medical marijuana is helpful, then there should be a way for people to get it,” Chandler said.

Snyder Hall steam leak raises concern KEVIN DENEEN SENIOR STAFF WRITER

On April 9, an old pipe at Snyder Hall broke and caused steam to fill the hallways of the second floor.

“A lot of people were standing outside, I came upstairs and of course there was steam blowing out of the ceiling and the floor was a wet,” said Blake Ushijima, a UH Mānoa graduate student.

After the steam leak happened at about 5 p.m., the campus Department of Public Safety (DPS) promptly evacuated the building. It took approximately 20 minutes to stop the leak and clear the building for re-entry.

“The pipe broke so the steam

was gushing in the hallway, the hallway was full of steam, there was no doubt about that,” Susan Ayin, microbiology education specialist, said.

The pipe that broke was on the second floor between Ayin’s prep room and another classroom.

Because of the high temperature of the steam, the pipe was not repaired until the next morning.

Ayin believes this is a serious safety issue and a pipe could break above an entry of a classroom. At 250 degrees fahrenheit, the steam could cause a student who has close contact to experience serious burning injuries.

Ushijima said the steam leak was close to the classroom and

if a student happened to take a break to go to the bathroom and was exposed to the steam, the situation could have been a lot worse.

DPS was unable to be reached for comment at the time this article was written.

IN NEED OF RENOVATIONS

Snyder Hall opened its doors in 1962 and is now in need of repair.

“A lot of things has changed since the ‘60s,” Ayin said.

Ayin said there are three pharmaceutical cold rooms, or rooms used to preserve certain substances at a low temperature, in Snyder Hall. Cold room 311D is currently broken because the compressor is down and the challenge

is getting parts to fix it.

Ushijima said the cold room on the second floor is not working properly and there have been attempts to fix it several times.

Safety showers are also needed in the classrooms, Ayin said. The graduate students work with reagents, which are substances used in chemical reactions that influence other chemical compounds and are at risk for chemical spills. The classrooms have emergency eye wash sinks, but there is still a need for safety showers, which would provide immediate attention if chemical spills were to happen.

Despite the annual inspection that was passed on March 9, 2015

by the UH Environmental Health and Safety Office, some students feel the chemical fume hoods are not ventilating the properly. Ayin said some of the teaching assistants claim to smell odors from certain chemical fume hoods.

Ceiling tiles are also falling apart, Ayin said. She said there have been reports of students entering a classroom and seeing ceiling tiles that have fallen from the previous night.

Ayin added that birds nests that have been developing in the window seals and bird droppings are a concern as they can cause diseases and are a risk for lung infection.

for Fall 2014 and Spring 2015 as negotiations for a new two-year contract continued.

According to ASUH Senate Resolution 4-15, 60 percent of the student body uses TheBus for their

We had to negotiate for a better rate since the student support for this program was high.

UPASSes are available to UH Mānoa students who have paid their student fees.

UPASS cost to increase through 2016 New contract extends bus pass program, increases cost to $50 by Fall 2016 MARCOS DUPREYIRAOLA STAFF WRITER

The cost of a bus pass for fulltime students on campus will increase by $10 next fall.

The increase is the result of a new contract between the Associated Students of the University of Hawai‘i

at Mānoa (ASUH) and the City and County of Honolulu. The city originally proposed to increase the cost of a UPASS to $50 in Spring 2015 and then to $75 in the Spring 2016.

“The city was proposing to increase the price substantially, so we had to negotiate for a better rate since the student support

for this program was high,” College of Arts and Sciences Sen. Sean Mitsui said in an email.

ASUH’s current contract began in Fall 2012 and was supposed to end on Fall 2014. According to ASUH President Stephen Nishara, ASUH was able to obtain separate extensions at the same rate

primary mode of transportation, and 90 percent of those students support extending the UPASS program beyond the current two-year contract.

There are two categories of passes available to UH students: Mandatory passes currently cost $30 a semester and opt-in passes cost $150 per semester.

The new contract will take effect in Fall 2015 with the new $40 rate that will be good until Fall 2016, when the cost will increase again to $50.

With the new contract, full-time undergraduate students will still be required to pay for mandatory pass.

The opt-in rate will increase to $250 for the rest of the two year contract.

“I know, it is a huge increase for the opt-in, but that is why ASUH wanted to ask for a better rate. Or

else everyone would have had to transition over to the opt-in rate,” Mitsui said.

Through the MyUH student portal, a survey was conducted in fall 2013 by ASUH, according to Nishihara. The data that was collected from the surveyed students showed that students saw the UPASS as an important program to support.

“I am glad ASUH fought to keep the price down, [it] still sucks the $40, but I guess it’s only $10 extra than paying $75,” Communications Major Cara Cooksey said.

She didn’t know there was going to be an increase in the UPASS, which for her is an essential part of her tuition fees. She is still not happy to have to pay more in the future.

In 2009, ASUH and the city agreed to implement a plan to that would give students a fair rate to ride TheBus, according to ASUH Senate Resolution 4-15.

The UPASS two-year pilot program began in fall 2010 at a cost of $20 a semester as a mandatory fee for all UH Mānoa full-time undergraduates. Later, in Fall 2012, the fee was increased to $30.

The program does include students who are enrolled in the John A. Burns School of Medicine, the William S. Richardson School of Law and the Outreach College.

The program was developed to alleviate traffic congestions and for students to use TheBus to get to school rather than driving their cars, according to the resolution.

Decade-long Pell Grant freeze proposed in congressional budget But an ASUH senator says students need to fight proposal to preserve access to education BIANCA SMALLWOOD SENIOR STAFF WRITER

The maximum amount college students can receive in Pell Grant funding may be frozen for the next decade under a budget proposal in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Introduced by the Republican-led House Budget Committee, the budget would cap the need-based grants at $5,775 per school year for the next 10 years.

“Freezing the Pell Grant amounts would mean that students would have to find other ways to fund their educational endeavors,” University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Associate Professor of Political Science Petrice Flowers said in an email interview. “They might have to work even more than they already do, they might have to ask their parents to fund more of their education-related expenses, or they might have to take out more student loans.”

House Budget Committee Chair-

man Tom Price (R-Georgia) said the plan would contribute to a healthier economy and more secure country with increased accountability in Washington.

Associated Students of the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa (ASUH) Arts and Sciences Sen. Krystal Shon, however, said that the budget plan keeps funding low for a group who needs the money most.

“It’s not fair,” Shon said. “The way that they’re looking at this is not equitable. So of course people like us have to fight for our rights because if we don’t they’ll just assume we don’t care.”

The GOP budget also makes cuts to social programs such as Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

AFFECTING UH MĀNOA STUDENTS

According to a U.S. News and World Report article, 78 percent of students at UH Mānoa applied for need-based aid, with 53.4 percent

receiving need-based financial aid received through completing the Federal Application for Federal Student Aid and 34.7 percent receiving self-help aid consisting of workstudy and loans. However, only 24.9 percent of students needs were fully covered.

Shon said that while students do understand the importance of attending college and earning a degree, the last thing they want to be concerned about is how they are going to pay for school.

“We are all feeling the effects of this and we are all doing all this for what, because of the promise of what a college degree is going to bring us,” Shon said. “Regardless, we know that when we go in the field and [when] we’re applying [to jobs] that they’re looking at who has one and who doesn’t.”

CHANGING THE BUDGET

Before the budget, and the Pell Grant freeze, can become law, the

U.S. House and Senate Appropriations Committees must debate, change and rewrite the budget.

With Republicans controlling both houses of congress, the bigger hurdle for the proposal could come when the budget is sent to President Obama for his approval.

Although the budget process is not over yet, Sen. Brian Schatz said that he is confident that he and his colleagues will be able to prevent the cuts to financial aid from becoming law.

“Federal grants and loans are some of the best tools students can use to make college more affordable, and I will do everything I can to protect them,” Schatz said in an email interview.

REASONING BEHIND PROPOSED FREEZE

Since its approval in 2007, House Resolution 2669, also known as the College Cost Reduction and Access Act, has required that there be

mandatory increases to the Pell Grant every fiscal year. The proposed budget plan claims this clause is doing the Pell Grant program more harm than good.

The budget plan also states that recently, more students who come from higher-income households have been receiving the Pell Grant.

Schatz said the budget plan would damage the education funding. Since higher education is the way for those in the middle class to succeed, he said it is important to make the process easier for students and their families.

“The Republican budget would reduce opportunities for students and would make college less affordable for students, particularly those of modest means,” Schatz said. “That is taking us in the wrong direction.”

Smoking is no longer cool UH smoking ban is on the right track about changing the norm

MATHEW URSUA / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

In 2006, the State of Hawai‘ i prohibited smoking in most public enclosed or partially enclosed areas. From Jan. 1, 2016, the ban will expand to e-cigarettes.

JACQUES BRUNVIL SENIOR STAFF WRITER

In a corner between Bilger Hall, Keller Hall and the Physical Science Building, next to the snack and soda machines, students and professors informally organize into a community of smokers to take a smoke break.

Soon, this will cease to exist.

While faced with implementation challenges, University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa is preparing to enforce the July 1 smoking ban by providing more resources to smokers and by promoting a cleaner and healthier environment.

UH Mānoa is partnering with the tobacco prevention and education program and the State Department of Health in order to provide smokers with the help they need.

The result will be a healthier and cleaner campus.

ABUNDANT RESOURCES

A recent Ka Leo Opinions article

by Jake Taylor suggested UH may not be doing enough and does not offer enough alternatives to smokers. It’s important to understand the intention of the university, which is to provide a cleaner environment and to assist smokers if they seek the help themselves.

Unlike other schools, UH is an active partner to local health organizations. For example, students who seek counseling from the Hawaii Tobacco Quitline can receive free nicotine replacement patches and gum.

“All patients at UHSM [University Health Services Mānoa] undergo tobacco screening during their initial evaluations. Tobacco users are routinely offered counseling and smoking cessation advice, including referral to resources on our campus and in our community,” UHSM Director Andrew Nichols said.

Lila Johnson, program manager for the tobacco prevention and

education program, also emphasized that improvement in the community sometimes spreads from the top. The social norm itself will change when there’s no longer room for it.

“This is not to say to people [they] can’t [smoke],” Johson said.

“It’s just to say there is a time, place and manner in which [they] can do and by having fewer and fewer locations where people are able to smoke, [they] are less likely

risks increase for all these diseases if you are inhaling second hand smoke. The risks are fewer, but they are still the same issues. It can affect others, as it were, innocent bystanders who just happen to be nearby when the smoke is there.”

Although Issell referred to secondhand smoke, recent studies have shown that so-called thirdhand smoke is also harmful: residue contamination from tobacco lingers in rooms long after smok-

IMPLEMENTATION CHALLENGES

Designated smoking spots provide smokers with a place to leave their cigarette butts. Since designated smoking areas are the only places that have outdoor ashtrays, removing them means a lot of these cigarette butts may end up on the ground and eventually in the ocean.

“Several options are available to reduce the environmental impact of cigarette butt waste, including developing biodegradable filters, increasing fines and penalties for littering butts, monetary deposits on filters, increasing availability of butt receptacles and expanded public education,” as reported in an article published by the International Journal of Environmental

A world without smoking will be a better world. According to the American Cancer Society, along with the numerous health risks and the unquantifiable human suffering, tobacco can be blamed for major economic losses. Due to higher medical costs and productivity losses, smoking-attributable economic costs in the U.S. are estimated to be between $289 billion to $332.5 billion per year; an average of $10.47 for each pack sold and used in the U.S. This total includes: ▪ $132.5 billion to $175.9 billion for direct medical care of adults ▪ $151 billion for lost productivity due to premature deaths

– BRIAN ISSELL ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR OF CTR AT THE UH CANCER CENTER

CLEANER AIR FOR ALL

Smoking students and faculty are not only hurting themselves; they also put the health of those around them at risk.

“The issue is not if people have the right to smoke cigarettes if they want to. The issue is how this affects their society. How does this affect others? How does it increase the cost to everyone in terms of health care?” said Brian Issell, professor and associate director of Clinical & Translational Research (CTR) at the UH Cancer Center. “Your

THE END OF A COMMUNITY

Hunter Prendergast, computer engineering major, said the informal smoking areas on campus bring students and professors together.

“I think they provide a good forum for students of different majors to come together,” Prendergast said.

Although there are outdoor ashtrays, members of this smoking community have donated a table, flowers, several chairs and tools, extra ashtrays and a chess board.

By mid-day, it isn’t surprising to see over 20 students and professors enjoying a casual smoke, engaging in conversation or focusing on a game of chess. The loss of this colorful group will be unfortunate, but it will benefit the entire community in the long run.

The issue is not if people have the right to smoke cigarettes if they want to. The issue is how this affects their society.

to be tempted or want to do that.”

The Department of Health Tobacco Prevention and Education Program is working with UH to raise awareness of the new policy. The organizations plan to place banners around campus and ads in Ka Leo. Although preventing the use of tobacco products may not directly result in fewer people using cigarettes, UH Mānoa is prepared to promote health in the community and is aiding a statewide effort to remove tobacco use from public places.

Research and Public Health.

Implementation remains the most important issue. If the Department of Public Safety enforces it poorly, the ban will be less effective. Strict enforcement is vital if we are to expect smokers to follow the rules and to have respect for the policy – resulting in a cleaner and healthier environment for all.

ing stops and remains on our clothes and can cause health risks.

Even sitting next to someone who has finished smoking hours ago exposes us to thirdhand smoke.

Issell also said we must do everything we can to stop the habit. He suggested higher taxes on tobacco products and redirecting more money to treatment.

▪ $5.6 billion for lost productivity due to exposure to secondhand smoke Sometimes to change the culture, we need to implement strict policies like the July 1 ban. When fewer people are exposed to smoking, fewer will be tempted to try it and develop the habit. This will result in a more sustainable and healthy society as a whole.

Finally, Time magazine called Hawai‘i one of the healthiest places to live in. We should keep it that way.

End for-profit colleges After Corinthian Colleges, Inc., went out of business on April 26, the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) tried to help students working toward degrees at colleges the company owned.

It issued a list of schools at which Corinthian’s students could enroll to continue their education. Locally, Corinthian was the parent company of Heald College, which enrolled Hawai‘i students at two locations on O‘ahu.

While there were public institutions on the list, there were also other for-profits, such as the University of Phoenix.

Instead of pointing students toward other for-profit schools, though, the DOE should be directing students away from them and working to end an unsavory mingling between business and higher education.

A centerpiece of these institutions are online degree programs that they argue provide better job opportunities to non-traditional students – single parents, high school drop outs and others who can’t attend traditional classes.

But Corinthian’s demise after a $30 million fine resulting from a federal decision that the college had made false claims about the jobs its graduates had landed could be the first of many.

ITT Technical Institute, for example, is facing predatory lending charges from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. And a report published in the Miami Herald last month suggests that Kaplan University, another forprofit, may be using recruitment practices similar to Heald’s.

All of this highlights the gruesome model used to run higher education like a business: exaggerate the benefits of for-profit degrees, while forcing students to pay for them with tens of thousands in loans, many directly backed by the government.

It’s a practice that needs to be eradicated by federal authorities.

There’s no doubt that the effects of similar closures on students will be widespread and painful. It may be the best option, though, lest these colleges continue to snag students.

Among the nearly 700,000 police officers in the U.S., one in 10 wears a body camera.

Body cameras for police key to accountability Recording encounters can set the record straight for officers, civilians KEON DIEGO STAFF WRITER

Growing nationwide pressure for mounting body cameras on police officers is a welcome development.

Such devices are necessary to deter any potential power abuse and create enduring police accountability.

Scientific research has proven the measure successful, and there are now local efforts to implement the cameras.

CHANGING IRRESPONSIBLE BEHAVIOR

In recent years there have been many high profile cases of preventable civilian deaths involving police officers. Controversy in accusations of police brutality often stems from the unreliability of witness accounts and bystander footage.

Recent riots in Ferguson and Baltimore have highlighted the maelstrom of anger with the behavior of law enforcement.

Having officers wear body cameras is among the most efficient solutions. They allow the public to have a reliable record of police interaction with civilians.

The motivation is to provide security and protection both for officers and civilians. People tend to behave in accordance with the rules when they know they are being watched. That deters peo-

ple on both sides of the interaction from behaving criminally.

TANGIBLE RESULTS

These claims are not based on guesswork. A 2012 experiment determined exactly how effective body cameras are in curbing inappropriate behavior among police officers. The Rialto Police Department in California experienced “more than a 50 [percent] reduction in the total number of incidents of use-of-force compared to control-conditions, and nearly ten times more citizens’ complaints in the 12-months prior to the experiment.”

Body cameras save money.

Another report shows how much is wasted in litigation costs and “expenses associated with incidents involving use-of-force and citizens’ complaints.” Hawai‘i law enforcement spends nearly $2 million annually on investigating complaints against police officers.

The public will have the tools necessary to appropriately deal with police misconduct and police officers will be shielded from disingenuous complaints.

LOCAL EFFORTS

State lawmakers have been trying to bring body cameras to police departments in Hawai‘i. Senate Bill

199, introduced by Sen. Will Espero (D), proposes to assign $2.7 million to the state’s four county police departments in an effort to furnish law enforcement with body and dash cameras.

“It can protect officers if they’re injured, someone attacks them, but at the same time it also gives an amount of protection to the general public,” Espero said.

According to the proposal, Honolulu County will receive $700,000 annually, Maui and Hawai‘i counties will get $250,000 each and there will be $150,000 for Kaua‘ i.

The Kaua‘i Police Department has completed a month-long trial with the body cameras and plans to use them in the future. Although some Kaua‘i officers protest the violation of privacy, the cameras also have their defenders.

A similar month long study is now in progress on Maui. It studies how 10 police officers use their body cams and aims to decide whether the local department should adopt the technology.

“Nobody likes being recorded 24/7, but on the job, officers have to be at the highest level of professionalism and I think the body cams will only promote that,” retired Federal Agent Tommy Aiu said.

Honolulu Police Department Chief Louis Kealoha, head of the

largest police department in the state, is still reviewing options and costs for the body and dash cams.

Reducing crime and providing a sense of security for officers and civilians is a moral obligation to which we must hold ourselves. At the same time, the public should respect the risk officers take daily and it is necessary for law enforcement officials to respect the authority given to them.

It’s a two-way street, and body cameras will only serve to facilitate that balance.

Café Kaila’s dinner menu Dinner items have mixed results, breakfast items save the night DANIELLA REYES SENIOR STAFF WRITER

DANIELLA REYES / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

CAFÉ KAILA B R E A K FA ST DANIELLA REYES SENIOR STAFF WRITER

Since opening its doors in 2007, Café Kaila has been quite the popular breakfast joint for tourists and locals alike.

Lines on the weekends can get long, with wait times sometimes an hour or longer. I’ve never been hungry enough to brave the weekend wait at Café Kaila, so my dining companion and I visited this Market City Shopping Center establishment on a Tuesday morning at 10 a.m. There were a few parties ahead of us, but we only waited about five minutes to get seats at the counter in the back.

Café Kaila serves breakfast from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., with their permanent menu consisting of pancakes, waffles, French toast, omelettes and other assorted breakfast staples. They have a rotating menu of specials, which includes maple bacon waffles and smoked salmon Eggs Benedict.

We ordered the regular Eggs Benedict ($13.95) and French toast with blueberries and strawberries. Each fruit costs an extra $2.50.

The French toast was pillow-soft, the delicate cinnamon flavor augmented with strawberries and blueberries. The toast was perfectly cooked, crisp on the outside and chewy inside. The three pieces of toast made for a very filling meal.

However, the Eggs Benedict was cooling when we got it, the hollandaise sauce congealed and looked unappetizing. The server quickly took it back when I mentioned it to her and a new dish was brought out within a few minutes. This one was much better, although they were a bit stingy with the hollandaise sauce this time around. The poached eggs, ham and English muffin together were very rich, but the lack of hollandaise was noticeable.

Go to Café Kaila for its carbs – the waffles, French toast and pancakes.

Everything is light, sweet without being saccharine, and satisfying. If you want to skip the crowds, go during a weekday or during their dinner menu.

Café Kaila is one of the most popular breakfast restaurants near campus, so it was exciting to see them roll out a new dinner menu featuring dishes cooked up by owner Chrissie Kaila Castillo.

They’ve started serving dinner to fulfill lease requirements, so the menu may have further changes as they work out the kinks.

ATMOSPHERE

The atmosphere at Café Kaila for dinner is noticeably different from the breakfast rush. There was no line of customers waiting outside, and we were seated immediately. Perhaps this will change as more people hear about the dinner menu.

The clientele, usually an equal mix of tourists and locals during breakfast, consisted of mostly local families eager to try out the new dishes. Gone was the bright sunshine flooding in from the glass entryway – instead, the dining area was softly lit with electric candles and flowers on each table. Jazzy instrumental music and the soft murmurs of patrons added to the ambiance. It’s a small space and at times felt cramped with tables pushed close enough that I could constantly hear the conversations of diners around me.

Service was friendly and polite, and our server offered suggestions as we tried to decide what to order. The food was delivered in about 15 minutes.

DANIELLA REYES / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

The kalua pork sliders were a low point of the meal, and the Belgian waffles a high point.

FOOD

Ambiance is important, but what about the food? My party wasn’t impressed by the offerings, but this could change as Café Kaila continues to tweak their menu. Currently, “Kaila’s Comfort Menu” consists of “small bites,” salads, pizzetta, breakfast items and “big bites.”

The small bites included fried spinach and cheese ravioli, garlic, soy and honey-marinated chicken skewers, gourmet mac and cheese, and chicken pot pie. The pot pie and mac and cheese are available as full-size entrées. Pizzettas live up to their name – they are small, individualized pizzas with toppings like Italian sausage, mozzarella or sun-dried tomatoes. Big bites consisted of meatloaf, veggie arrabiatta lasagna, kalua pork sliders, fried chicken and waffles.

We ordered the small chicken pot pie ($8), the kalua pork sliders ($14) and the Belgian malted waffle with strawberries ($12). The chicken pot pie was everything I wanted a chicken pot pie to be – creamy and comforting with plenty of vegetables and chicken. It was not overly-salted, something that happens to many pot pies. The crust was buttery and flaky, complementing the savory filling well. If you order the large entrée, you get the pie with sides of homestyle potatoes and steamed broccoli.

The kalua pork sliders were underwhelming. We got three barbeque sliders on a sweet bun, with a side of chips and coleslaw. The meat was tender, but it was just kalua pork covered in barbeque sauce – something that could be prepared at home. The sides were basic potato chips and coleslaw drowning in mayonnaise. Flavorful, but nothing special and disappointing compared to the pot pie.

For those who love breakfast for dinner, the Belgian waffle added just the right amount of sweetness to our meal. Light and fluffy, this dish alone is a good reason to come back to Café Kaila for dinner – avoid the breakfast lines. Other dishes that received rave reviews from fellow diners included the lasagna ($15), and the fried chicken and waffles ($13), served on their classic waffle with cayenne maple butter.

VERDICT

DANIELLA REYES / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

The chicken pot pie proved Café Kaila could pull off dinner.

With entrées from $12-$16, I wouldn’t recommend this place as a regular eating spot for college students on a budget. Portions are on the smaller side, and if you’re

on a date, the cramped dining space is a minor drawback. However, the pot pie and waffles were delicious and made for an enjoyable night out. If you like Café Kaila for breakfast, chances are you’d like it for dinner as well.

MANGA MONDAYS

Get ready to hike with a football manga ‘Eyeshield 21’ bridges the gap between Japanese and American culture SOURCE: VIZ MEDIA 

“Eyeshield 21” was also given an anime adaptation that ran from 2005 to 2008.

WHAT IS MANGA?

The term “manga” normally refers to a comic originating from Japan. They are analagous to comic books here in America, but instead of normally reading from left to right, the sequence of panels instead go from right to left. To the Japanese population, manga serves as a time killer between subway rides and breaks throughout their day. Today, manga is known worldwide with fans from all over the world indulging in the Japanese culture.

HENRY MA SENIOR STAFF WRITER

Bridging the gap between Western and Japanese culture, “Eyeshield 21” aims to mix the best of both worlds. Manga artist Yusuke Murata teams up with manga writer Inagaki Riichiro to create a manga focusing on America’s most popular sport, football.

The manga, titled “Eyeshield 21,” tells the story of a young, shy boy named Sena who begins his first year at Deimon High. Ever since he

was little, Sena was constantly bullied into being everyone’s errand boy. As a result of constantly running around, Sena has gained a gift of being one of the fastest students in Japan.

being easily distinguishable and well drawn out. If you had read my previous review on the new manga “Onepunch-Man,” you will realize right away that it is the artwork of Murata. With the clean, visually

The mind of Riichiro gives the readers a thrill that they’ll surely want to ride till the end.

Through some bizarre yet hilarious incident, Sena was eventually recruited to become part of Deimon High’s American football team, the Devil Bats. By incorporating his abnormal speed, Sena learns the fundamentals on how to play the sport and grows to love the game of football. With aims to reach the Christmas Bowl, which is equivalent to the Super Bowl for the Japanese students, Sena and his team — which consists of mostly misfits wanting to prove themselves — matures together to hone their skills and overcome powerful opponents.

The artwork of “Eyeshield 21” is very detailed, with each character

appealing look of the manga, the art itself is enough to attract readers to “Eyeshield 21.” There is a reason why Murata is famous for his work in “Eyeshield 21” – it is evident that he placed a lot of work into giving a consistent, attention-to-detail look in all 333 chapters of the manga.

Being such a large series with the amount of chapters “Eyeshield 21” has, Riichiro is able to keep the story fresh and exciting throughout the entirety of the story. The pacing of the story flowed well, and there isn’t a part of the series that feels dull since there is always something to look forward in the next chapter,

whether it may be an introduction of a new character or a twist in the chapter which teases you to keep on reading. With intense action scenes, over the top humor and exciting development of characters, the mind of Riichiro gives the readers a thrill that they’ll surely want to ride till the end.

The characters within “Eyeshield 21” is something that is truly to be loved in this series, as each member of the Deimon Devil Bats has their own unique skill and background. With such a diverse pool of personalities within the football team, the chemistry between the

characters are very well thought out and sometimes hilarious.

I don’t know how many times I burst out laughing while reading the dialogues exchanged between Sena and his team and it gives me a reason to keep on reading.

Overall, “Eyeshield 21” is a manga that many Western people can enjoy. The combination of American football and manga makes for an interesting read for both Japanese and Western readers alike. With the combine talents of Murata and Riichiro, “Eyeshield 21” is a gem of a manga that anyone can love, no matter where they are in the world.

‘100 PICS’

UH Cricket Club Keeping cricket alive in the Aloha State

IKAIKA SHIVELEY ASSOCIATE FEATURES EDITOR

HARRISON PATINO / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

The UH Cricket Club plays three Sundays a month at Kapi‘olani Park, excluding August.

A tile is removed, revealing salt and pepper hair and a welltanned face with charming wrinkles. Yup, that’s George Clooney.

This is a typical level presented to players in “100 Pics.”

This puzzle app tests the keenness and memory of players on trivial topics. A photo covered by four tiles fills the screen and players must guess the correct person or object. Underneath the pictures is a letter bank, adding a hangman twist to the game.

The more tiles on the photo, the more coins earned when the correct answer is given. Coins are used to unlock even more photo challenge topics such as television shows, flags and cartoons. Coins can also be used to give hints. With over a hundred unlockable categories and weekly additions, there’s no doubt that players will be kept busy.

“100 Pics” has a lot of topics that will test your memory of grade school as you try to remember the geography of Europe.

One negative aspect of the gaming app is the bulk of ads that interrupt gameplay. Being a free app, ads are thrown in between every two or three photos, which slows down the playthrough and quickly becomes tedious.

“100 Pics” isn’t innovative enough. That being said, it’s still fun to play and a great way to pass time. Not all users will be thrilled, but for the niche audience, “100 Pics” could be their gaming addiction.

For many, cricket is a sport from either another time or another part of the world. However, the emerging University of Hawai‘i Cricket Club is intent on proving that cricket has a long and storied place in the United States – even in the 808.

Matthew Barrett, a graduate student at the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa, originally from the United Kingdom, rebutted the notion that cricket is out of place in the states.

“I would say that cricket is an international game,” Barrett said.

“It’s played in many countries around the world, dominated by the British Commonwealth countries. The U.S. actually has quite an

MAY

old cricketing history. Cricket was quite strong right up until baseball began to take over.”

Barrett said “these days, I think cricket is staging something of a resurgence” at UH. In addition to the two existing cricket clubs in Hawai‘ i, the Honolulu Cricket Club (HCC) and the Maui Cricket Club (MCC), Barrett and a small band of cricket enthusiasts have been in the process of establishing a club based at the UH Mānoa campus.

To Barrett, the establishment of the UH Cricket Club is just another notch in Hawai‘i’s venerated history with the sport.

“The University of Hawai‘i Cricket Club has been trying to add some impetus, but there have been more

CAMPUS EVENTS

clubs in the past, and the numbers have gone up and down throughout history,” Barrett said.

The competition pool in the islands isn’t large. Yet, cricket clubs around the world have traveled to the Aloha State just to play ball, Barrett said. In addition to the six matches the HCC and MCC play annually, teams from the mainland, Australia, New Zealand and Canada have all traveled to square up with Hawai‘ i’s ranks of dedicated cricketers.

Even though competition is at the heart of cricket, team bowler and batsman Aditya Singh said that there’s no love lost after the match.

“Although your performance on the field does matter, after the game everyone relaxes together,

Ikaika Shiveley Associate Features Editor

forgets the game and waits for the next game,” Singh said.

Singh, an undergraduate at Mānoa, mentioned that the sport serves as a communal touchstone and a reminder of his own childhood summer nights spent playing cricket with friends.

“I grew up in Mumbai, and as a part of daily activities with friends I would play an hour of cricket in the evening,” Singh said. “When it was time to come to Hawai‘ i — when I came for the first time — just imagine that you come all the way from Mumbai to an island and realizing that there are, indeed, people who play cricket.”

Singh had high praise for the diversity that the clubs bring together.

“Hawai‘ i is a very diverse island, people from all nationalities [are] here. It’s not just a group of Indians or Sri Lankans or Pakistanis playing cricket; you have Australians, Bangladeshis – all kinds people coming together, playing cricket and enjoying the game,” Singh said.

Hawaiian cricket is also a sport that is diversified in age.

“We have players ranging from 18 years old to 60 years old,” Singh said. “We’ve played visiting teams made up from 20 year olds to an Australian over 60’s team visit.”

In the words of Barrett, “We welcome all members.”

WAIPAHU BAND IS BACK AND HERE TO STAY  [ALL PHOTOS] HANA AH YOU / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

HANA AH YOU STAFF WRITER

The name Rebel SoulJahz brings to mind images of the four local men whose faces are displayed on album covers and posters around the world.

With three million views on YouTube, 140,000 fans on Facebook and 80,000 Instagram followers, the Waipahu-raised band has come a long way from lunchtime jams during high school.

However, behind the scenes there are less-recognized faces and forces driving the band and helping them get to where they want to be. I sat down with two of the lead vocalists, Mike Maglinti and Will Tauiliili-Sua, at one of their rehearsals and got to see a sliver of what it takes to be Rebel SoulJahz.

Andrew Hodges Jr. and Faaigaelo Moananu Jr., the other lead vocalists, were not in attendance but the room was not empty.

In addition to the four lead vocals, there is a band comprised of Sherwin Debrum (keyboard), Jaden Jumawan (guitar), Jazzton Lyons (drums) and Shay Marcello (bass guitar). These eight men, ranging from 25 to 40 years old, come together to make Rebel SoulJahz.

Their third and most recent album, “SoulJahz For Life,” came four and a half years after the 2009 album “Bring Back the Days.”

The break allowed the band to revamp and come back stronger than ever, despite skepticism and accusations of the band being a one-hit-wonder.

“We were just trying to re-establish ourselves. We solidified some new members, solidified a new team, management, promotionseverything from ground zero. We’ve been in the studio for the past four years,” Maglinti said. “We didn’t want to rush the project. Being away for that long – we wanted to put our best effort forward, so we took our time.”

their new single “Ms. Beautiful.”

“First and foremost, for the song, I want to shout out Shawn Fonoti,” Maglinti said. “I wrote the song about three years ago with brother Shawn.”

As far as the video goes, “I’m just as wondrous as you guys ‘cause our parts don’t start shooting until this Friday,” Maglinti said. “The cast started shooting. They actually just

[Souljahz For Life] was just a statement saying, ‘we’re here, we ain’t going nowhere, we know who we are.

- MIKE MAGLINTI LEAD VOCALIST

“What people don’t understand is the recording process is the most treacherous, stressful part of the project. We can sit in the studio for two days out of the week and spend 10 plus hours in there, and the song wouldn’t even be close to 50 percent done,” Maglinti said.

During that time, Rebel SoulJahz maintained their large fanbase through social media and publicized any gigs they did have. Taking extra time on the album has paid off and Maglinti cites “SoulJahz For Life,” the title track off the album, as his favorite song the band has put out so far.

“It was actually a statement song for us,” Maglinti said. “It was just a statement saying, ‘We’re here, we ain’t going nowhere, we know who we are.’”

Currently, the band is in the process of shooting a music video for

wrapped up their parts today. As far as the vocalists and the band: We start shooting Friday.”

Soon Rebel SoulJahz will be going on tour again. “The big thing about the tour is we’re going to hit Tahiti,” Maglinti said. “We’ve been doing this for about eight years now professionally, and we’ve hit Guam, Saipan, New Zealand, Australia and the states, but this is the first time in our musical career that we hit Tahiti, which has been something that we’ve always wanted to do.”

After Tahiti, they launch into two-and-a-half weeks on the West Coast, starting in Washington and going through California and into Nevada.

However, there is still much terrain left untouched by Rebel SoulJahz.

“I would like to go and visit my culture, which would be Samoa,” Tauiliili-Sua said. “I would possibly

want to go to Amsterdam.”

Maglinti wants to tackle the East Coast.

“Not that many people from the islands have portrayed Hawaiian music in like New York. I really want to compete with the big people on the big stage,” Maglinti said.

Maglinti said one of the big names he would like to collaborate with is “Bruno Mars: the hometown hero.”

For now, both Maglinti and Tauiliili-Sua hinted at possibly working with Common Kings in the future.

“No promises, but the lead singer of Common Kings is actually my first cousin so we’re in the talks of doing that,” Maglinti said.

Luckily, Rebel SoulJahz show no signs of slowing down so there is time for collaborations with other artists. The goal is to release the fourth album by summer.

“We’re going to keep going.

Cinco de Mayo

FIESTA FINDER HANNAH LEWIS STAFF WRITER

Cinco de Mayo is approaching fast. Before you strap on your sombreros, grab a cerveza and get ready for a wild night with this Fiesta Finder.

Serg’s Mexican Kitchen

Cantina Crawl

Cinco de Mayo Block Party

Many University of Hawai‘i students are fans of the infamous “Taco Tuesdays” at Serg’s on East Mānoa Road. It has $2 tacos, BYOB and a fun atmosphere. The Cinco de Mayo gods must have been looking out for us this year, because it just so happens to fall on a Tuesday, a taco Tuesday. Seeing that a regular Tuesday night can get wild, this one is expected to be a grand time. So if you’re feeling like staying close to campus and still having a “magnífico” time, then this is the fiesta for you.

When it comes to party-centric holidays you can always look to Chinatown to have something fun going on. This Tuesday from 5-11 p.m. you can head down to Chinatown for a good old-fashioned “Cantina Crawl.” There will be authentic food vendors, live DJs and musical performances, candy skull face painting and 15 separate bars participating in the Cantina Crawl itself. Even if you’re under 21 and cannot get into the bars, it is just as fun outside in the crowds dancing to music and walking around.

Much like the Cantina Crawl, this is a block party full of good food, music and Cinco de Mayo fun – but just a little more family friendly. Located on Restaurant Row, this block party goes on from 5-10 p.m. and features events for the whole family. There will be a Keiki Corner, Mariachi bands strolling through the festival grounds, DJs on the main stage, and a beer garden for those who are over 21. If you’re looking for a fun time on the more relaxed side, then this is the event for you.

EMERGING GROOVE MIKE IZON’S SOUNDS ARE QUICKLY GAINING POPULARITY ON THE ISLAND

SOURCE: MIKE IZON 

Izon got his start performing in local venues.

Meet Mike Izon, an O‘ahu native from Whitmore Village in Wahiawa.

Izon is a multi-talented musician; he’s well-versed in the guitar and vocals, with seven years of experience in both. On top of these skills, he’s on Youtube, covering famous songs like “Purple Haze” by Jimi Hendrix, “Rolling in the Deep” by Adele and “Wake Me Up” by Avicii.

“I do have my own original music,” Izon said. “Sadly, I just don’t have the equipment to make the videos.”

Despite a lack of equipment, Izon was able to create his first album, “The Book of Clichès.” This album can be found on iTunes for $9.99 and contains 12 original pieces with contemporary, reggae, soul and R&B sounds.

Currently, a second album called “Reincarnation” is underway and planned to be released before August. Izon is moving to California to pursue his career and wants to leave the ‘aina with a gift.

“Reincarnation” is inspired by and dedicated to Izon’s late father, Zachary Izon. “Whenever I would show him my music, we would always go back and forth with many ideas,” he said.

Other influences Izon credits include John Mayer, Jimi Hendrix, and Eric Clapton, whom he tries to mimic

guitar sounds after, and Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson for vocals.

These inspirations and Izon’s hard work, mixed with talent, led him to win the 2012 title of Kollabaration Star. Kollabaration is an Asian-American talent search competition where 14 states go head-to-head for the title of Kollabaration Star.

“I was lucky enough to go all the way and it was tough. Honestly, that year, G. Yamazawa [a competitor] was the guy that I was worried about. I remember watching his performance specifically because I knew he would kill it,” Izon said.

“That night was my night, but the best thing about all of it was my dad got to see it while he was still with us. I ran over to him as soon as I was off stage and hugged him and just kept telling him, ‘We won dad, we won.’ By far the best moment of my life.”

After Kollabaration, Izon’s career was launched into full-speed. Later the same year, Izon was invited to perform at the Mnet Asian Music Awards in Hong Kong, a feeling he described as amazing.

“I had no idea who or what was going on,” he said. “Growing up in a small village suburb, it was a little intimidating walking on the red carpet, the same one that Jackie Chan, B.o.B., Adam Lambert and PSY just walked on.”

Aside from getting to share the red carpet with A-list celebrities, Izon spent time with the producers of Mnet, while they followed and filmed his every move; it wasn’t intimidating though, and he had a blast.

While it is apparent Izon is quickly gaining popularity with his unique sound, the fame is never going to affect him.

“I’m just a normal, country boy trying to make my dreams happen,” Izon said. “I’ve won things and lost things: went to the mainland to try out for The Voice, America’s Got Talent and Kollabaration.

Even though I only won something in one of them, I still learned more than I ever could have staying in Whitmore. I try to always be humble and never conceited, because ‘You’re never a master, always a student.’”

To hear the sounds of Mike Izon, head to his Youtube: youtube.com/ eyesonmike, or pay a visit to Hawaiian Brian’s on July 17 for his album release party with We the People.

COVER STORY

Going to the ‘ship Men’s volleyball earns at-large bid into NCAA Championships

FILE PHOTO / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

UC Irvine and Hawai‘ i are two of eight teams in the national championship.

Hawai‘ i last played in the NCAA Tournament when they won the championship in 2002, but the title was vacated.

HAYLEY MUSASHI STAFF WRITER

Anxiously gathered in a Southern California hotel room, the No. 3 University of Hawai‘i men’s volleyball team awaited its fate.

After falling to Pepperdine in last Thursday’s MPSF semifinal, the ‘Bows and Waves would face-off again once more, this time for one of two at-large selections into the NCAA Championships.

Eliminated from the conference tournament, the only thing the Warriors could do was wait. With their destiny out of their hands, the ‘Bows needed top-seeded UC Irvine to take down Pepperdine in the finals, guaranteeing Irvine the automatic bid and Hawai‘i the possible at-large selection. Irvine emerged victorious with a 3-1 win, but the NCAA bracket was not finalized until Saturday morning.

“He [head coach Charlie Wade] had mentioned to us that we had a shot at the at-large bid after our loss to Pepperdine,” said setter Jennings Franciskovic in an email.

“There was just a lot of anxiety and nerves before watching the show.

We had no idea what was going to happen.”

However, at 10 a.m. PST, the Rainbow Warriors got the news they were hoping for. Though they lost to the Waves in the conference semis, Hawai‘i continued to hold an advantage in the majority of selection committee criteria including head-to-head record and RPI. The team was gifted a second chance and the right to compete in a play-in game on Tuesday.

“Lots and lots of cheering and excitement,” said Franciskovic. “I felt really relieved that we were given this chance to prove to the nation what Hawai‘i volleyball really is about. I felt like a burden was lifted, but now we just have to refocus.”

The last time the ‘Bows qualified for the NCAA Tournament was in

2002, the program’s first and only national championship, that was later vacated.

HOW THEY GOT THERE

In one of the program’s most historic runs, the Warriors tallied their first 20-win season since 2006. The result exceeded the Preseason MPSF Coaches Poll estimate of finishing seventh in conference, the ‘Bows

“They have gotten a lot better since then and so have we,” said Franciskovic. “They have some really great players so we just need to come out and focus on our side of the net and play the way that we know we should.”

The Nittany Lions are led by senior outside hitter Aaron Russell who has already tallied several accolades this year including

have continued to exceed expectations and have risen to the forefront of UH athletics this season.

Prior to the MPSF Tournament, five Rainbow Warriors earned All-MPSF honors. Seniors Brook Sedore and Taylor Averill were named to the All-MPSF First Team while juniors Kolby Kanetake, Sinisa Zarkovic, and sophomore Jennings Franciskovic earned All-MPSF Second Team selections. Zarkovic was also named to the MPSF All-Tournament team this weekend for his performances in the postseason.

NCAA BREAKDOWN

Hawai‘i and Lewis join automatic qualifiers — Loyola, UC Irvine, Penn State, and Pfeiffer — each of them winning their respective conference championships.

The fourth-seeded Warriors are slated to face No. 5 seed Penn State in Tuesday’s play-in game.

The ‘Bows last faced the Nittany Lions Jan. 9 in the Outrigger Invitational where Hawai‘ defeated them in three sets. However, Penn State enters the tournament having earned their 17th consecutive EIVA Conference championship and riding a 16-match win streak.

EIVA Player of the Year, EIVA Championship Most Outstanding Player, and the Karch Kiraly Award given to the nation’s best outside attacker during the regular season.

Should the ‘Bows advance, they will face No. 1 seed Lewis in the semifinals.

“I think the most important things will be to practice like Thursday never happened,” said libero Kolby Kanetake in an email. “We need to continue to grind it out, work out some of the kinks, and most importantly get our confidence high. We know what we can accomplish, we just need to go out and execute … It has definitely been a rollercoaster, but things will calm down now. It’s time to relax and focus on Tuesday’s match.”

The loosening grip of the MPSF ANDREW SWITAJ STAFF WRITER

Can the MPSF remain as the dominant conference for men’s volleyball?

From the formation of the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation in 1992, the conference has dominated on the national scale with 18 championships.

The rise of other competitive conferences have recently begun to challenge the MPSF. As the most recent example, the dominant performance by the 2014 National Champions, Loyola Chicago from the MIVA conference. The struggle for supremacy among the Division I conferences has become a much tighter race than it has been historically.

It used to be a near certainty that three MPSF teams would be in the final four of the NCAA tournament.

However, with the likes of MIVA teams such as Lewis and Loyola Chicago, in addition to other teams such as Penn State (EIVA) and Ohio State (MIVA) remain lurking in the scene, the MPSF has seen that usual number dwindle.

The problem with the teams from the MPSF is not that teams have suddenly seen a decrease in competitive play, but rather the other conferences have seen a growth of talent. From a mere statistical viewpoint, the MIVA and EIVA have teams that rival the top seeded teams in the MPSF. Loyola Chicago and Lewis are the two programs that have the fewest hitting errors in the nation at 338 and 305 respectively. Another major conference, EIVA, follows the two MIVA teams with Harvard and Princeton. In the MPSF, Pepperdine has the lowest amount of hitting errors at 411.

The MPSF still dominates offen-

sively with six teams in the Top 10 in total number of attacks. Nevertheless, MIVA holds the second and third spot.

Sometimes it is more important to look at the hitting percentage of teams to determine the effectiveness of the offense. Out of the seven teams in the NCAA that hit on higher than .300, only three teams came from the MPSF. Numbers may not always showcase the quality of the team, and when looking at the college ranking, the MPSF contains 10 of the Top 15 spots in the nation. It can be argued that the losses in the MPSF come against better teams, which provides programs with, seemingly, the benefit of the doubt when it comes to national rankings.

Unfortunately, there remains little play outside of a team’s own conference. The competitive play that was seen between the MSPF, MIVA and EIVA was seen at the very beginning of the season and therefore is not a clear determinant of the strength of a team.

Until the number of matches can be increased between conferences, it may remain as a mystery to whether the MPSF still maintains a clear supremacy in men’s collegiate volleyball.

The only time these the MPSF and AVCA conferences played against each other came in the beginning of the season when Hawai‘i and UC Irvine obtained wins against Ohio State and Penn State.

Dominant conferences don’t last forever. Perhaps in the near future the MPSF will begin to see their hold on men’s volleyball challenged by outside teams. Until then, many will point to the MPSF’s storied past with 18 national championships, whether or not they have any true relevance in today’s state of volleyball.

No spring f ling for the Warriors Norm Chow cancels scrimmage to protect his players

MATHEW URSUA / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

Instead of the scrimmage, the team held a normal practice to conclude spring ball this past Saturday.

DREW AFUALO SENIOR STAFF WRITER

After four grueling weeks of spring practice and gearing up for fall, the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa football team decided to cancel its annual “Spring Fling Warrior Bowl.”

The Warriors normally have an intra-squad scrimmage at the Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex on the UH Mānoa campus, but have decided to cancel it this year due to roster issues and injuries.

“We need a lot of practice,” head coach Norm Chow said. “Also, we don’t have enough offensive linemen to have a spring game; we only have seven and you need more than that to have a full game.”

The anticipation for the upcoming fall 2015 season has been building in the community, especially with the schedule that the Warriors are set to play against. Opening with a game against Colorado in September, Hawai‘i is also set to play against the defending national champions and top-ranked Ohio State University.

“The University of Kansas lost their quarterback in a spring game and we can’t afford something like that to happen to us,” Chow said. “We need everybody healthy for the fall. You know the schedule, so we definitely need everyone to be ready.”

The Kansas Jayhawks recently lost their starting quarterback Michael Cummings in a spring practice game, after he sustained

a serious knee injury that required surgery. The Warriors have been preparing to head into their season with a new quarterback suspected to be under center on opening

weekend in former USC quarterback Max Wittek. He saw action in 13 games as a Trojan and was forced to redshirt last year due to NCAA transfer rules.

As far as players go, Chow does

cially, since there are only seven linemen currently ready to play and forcing them to play an entire game would be very difficult for them.

According to Chow, the spring training session is the opportune

time to run new schemes on the offensive and defensive aspects, and the Warriors just need a little more time to tune theirs up.

Hawai‘ i will return to the field with 17 starters and 46 letterman, along with 16 new recruits for the 2015 season. After registering a 4-9 record last season, the Warriors hope to turn everything around with the help of their three new coordinators and new additions to the team.

“We made tremendous strides and I like what I see; I think we all do,” Chow said. “Obviously, we have a long way to go on both sides, but we know that … we’re not ready right now, but we will be when the time comes.”

Men’s golf finishes last in Big West Championship CHRISTIAN SHIMABUKU STAFF WRITER

SOURCE: UH SPORTS MEDIA RELATIONS 

Pono Tokioka placed 45th in the tournament.

The University of Hawai‘ i men’s golf team finished dead last in the Big West Conference Championship which was held at the San Luis Obispo Country Club in San Luis Obispo, California.

In a three-day, three-round, 54-hole format, the Warriors found themselves in a hole from the get-go.

The ‘Bows were in ninth after the first day and remained there until the conclusion of the tournament.

Senior Ryan Kuroiwa, junior Scotty Yamashita, sophomores Pono Tokioka and Skye Inakoshi, and freshman Smart Kittirattanapaiboon competed for UH. As a team, the ‘Bows shot 922 (+82). Yamashita was the ‘Bows’ top finisher after tying for 28th out of 45 individually. He shot for a total of 226 (78-78-70). Not far behind

was Kittirattanapaiboon, who had his best finish for UH, tying for 33rd after shooting 229 (77-75-77).

The UC Irvine Anteaters took the championship, shooting 860 (+20), with Cal Poly’s Justin De Los Santos finishing first individually, shooting 212 (70-73-69).

Kittirattanapaiboon, despite a new personal best score, was dissatisfied with his own performance as well as the rest of the team.

“I’m sure there’s still a lot of room for improvement. As a team, we could have done a lot better,” Kittirattanapaiboon, a native of Chiangmai, Thailand said. “I think the expectations from coach [Ronn] Miyashiro was a lot higher as well. I feel like we could have been more focused and more concentrated. I guess we didn’t come together as a team as well as we should have, but of course, it wasn’t from a lack of effort.”

Although this was the final tour-

nament for the Rainbow Warriors this season, the ‘Bows will find themselves on the course soon. The men’s golf team’s season is one of the longest in the athletic department, with this year’s tournaments spanning from October to April, in addition to yearlong morning workouts and afternoon practices.

Kittirattanapaiboon is optimistic about the team’s future as there were only two seniors on this year’s team, Kuroiwa and Brian Lee. “I’m excited for next year,” Kittirattanapaiboon said. “We’re hoping for the best because we know we have some pretty good players in Scotty [Yamashita] and Skye [Inakoshi] as well as the rest of the guys coming back next year. Hopefully the freshmen recruits coming in next year can help the team as well and I look forward to working with them.”

Scarred but not broken Malachi Mageo uses his experiences growing up in California and his Christian faith to find salvation at UH

DREW AFUALO / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

Mageo spent last year on the practice squad, biding his time until his opportunity came this season.

DREW AFUALO STAFF WRITER

For Malachi “Lock” Mageo, the chance to play college football is a fresh start and a lifesaver that allowed him to escape the pressures of a dangerous life.

Growing up was not easy for Mageo, as his hometown of Carson, California, was not always a great environment. Mageo said he had a rough childhood, but he knows that it could always be worse and is grateful for every opportunity he’s been given.

“People like to say that they’re from the ghetto and they’re poor, but I don’t like saying that,” Mageo said. “We had all that we needed – and a little bit more than that. So I don’t want to say that we were poor, but my brothers and I did struggle financially of course. We weren’t the only ones though, it was kind of just a way of life.”

A redshirt freshman and linebacker for the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa football team, he is the first person in his immediate family to attend college. Mageo has learned to channel his struggles in life to his advantage, which has opened his eyes to avenues of opportunity.

As a freshman, he redshirted his first year, willing to learn from those who came before him. Now entering his second year with the program, Mageo is ready to get on the field and prove to everyone around him that anyone has the chance to turn a bad situation around.

Although he has always shined athletically, his life off the field did not always come that easy. Attributing the situation to his environ-

ment, Mageo unfortunately got mixed up in some bad lifestyle choices, most of which were gang affiliated.

“Not all my family are in that lifestyle, but a lot of them are,” Mageo said. “It wasn’t really like I chose to do it, but it was just around me all the time. Either way I feel like I was going to be affiliated, whether I was a gang member or not.”

play any sports, like basketball and football, and that’s all I do,” Mageo said. “It was like I was just a regular student … and [after getting stabbed] it just felt like I didn’t belong anywhere.”

Before coming to Hawai‘i, Mageo was already a recognized athlete.

He was a two-time all-league pick at linebacker and was selected to the 2013 all-CIF Southern Section

It wasn’t the stabbing specifically that made me not want to live that life. It was more that I couldn’t play any sports.

– MALACHI MAGEO REDSHIRT FRESHMAN, LINEBACKER

The lifestyle that Mageo got wrapped up in began to take over his life outside of school, so much so that something traumatic had to happen in order for him to take a step back.

After one of his brothers was stabbed and shot, Mageo felt he was bound to run into the same kind of trauma as well.

The summer of his sophomore year in high school, Mageo was involved in an incident that resulted in him being brutally stabbed in the stomach. He was then hospitalized after that, frequently having to return for surgeries due to complications from his injury, accrding to Mageo.

Mageo was devastated about his wounds. More than anything, he claimed he was upset at the fact that he couldn’t do the thing that he loved most – play football.

“It wasn’t the stabbing specifically that made me not want to live that life. It was more that I couldn’t

Western Division second team and first-team all-league in high school.

He was also named to the Daily Breeze second-team allarea defense, in addition to being selected as Serra’s Special Teams Player of the Year. During his senior year alone, Mageo recorded over 115 tackles, including 21 for loss of yards, three sacks, one interception, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. On top of his success on the gridiron, Mageo was also an honor roll student in the classroom.

“At first, I hated my high school because it was a private school and outside of Carson,” Mageo said. “It was kind of stepping out of my comfort zone and I was one of the only Samoans who went there. But eventually, I grew to really love my school.”

Mageo was raised by his mother Ada Mageo with two older brothers and one younger brother. As the second to the youngest, he was not

always as close to his older brothers as he is now because of the age difference. However, with time their bond has grown stronger and he knows that his brothers support him in all that he does.

A 2013 graduate from Serra High School in Gardena, California, Mageo attended UH on a full scholarship to play for the Warriors.

Although he suffered from many situations that many people would not be able to dream of, Mageo said he was able to get through it with the help of his faith. According to him, he committed his life to Christianity when he was 17 years old — not long after his stabbing incident — and through that has found the strength to get away from that lifestyle.

Combining his faith and his love for playing sports, Mageo was able to channel all of his energy and angst into succeeding athletically.

After recovering from his injury, he came back to varsity football his senior year, recording many impressive stats and records.

Along with his success on the field and his success in the classroom his senior year, Mageo was able to secure a full ride scholarship to a Division I school, even after losing a whole year due to his injuries and proved that past mistakes you may have made do not define who you can be in the future.

“Getting to play football is so much more than a game, it’s my way of life,” Mageo said. “It’s always been a big way for me to just be free.”

His ability to last in the game gave Trapasso breathing room to bring in a closer.

“Brashears brings you complete pitch ability at the college level,” Trapasso said. “Four pitches for strikes, throwing strikes at any time, and doesn’t walk people with plus stuff.”

The junior also boasts a nine-strikeout game against UC Davis. He also earned recognition as Big West Pitcher of the Week on April 27 after a stellar performance against UC Santa Barbara, surrendering only three hits in 7.2 innings.

During that game, he was able to pitch his way out of a bases-loaded sixth-inning jam that allowed his team to rally in the next frame.

The battle on the hill A closer look at UH’s threeman starting rotation

JARRETT ARAKAWA

SHANE GRACE / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

Brashers allowed just four hits in eight innings against Long Beach State on Saturday, guiding the Warriors to a 1-0 victory.

KEN REYES STAFF WRITER

Earning a spot on a pitching rotation requires more than just skill.

For a trio of pitchers on the University of Hawai‘i baseball team, success revolves around their ability to keep everyone in the game.

LJ Brewster, Tyler Brashears and Jarrett Arakawa have all developed into reliable starters. While the team’s bullpen struggles have been tempered by using Quintin Torres-Costa as a reliever, the ‘Bows continue to place their trust on the starters, who have combined for 13 of UH’s 15 wins so far this season.

Head coach Mike Trapasso noted that transferring to three-game series for Big West Conference play helped the team in making the necessary adjustments in the rotation.

“The four-game series are a grind on any pitching staff, especially one with so many new guys like we’ve got this year,” he said. “But [Brewster, Brashears and Arakawa] have kept us in every game and that’s all you’re asking for.”

Trapasso also talked about each pitcher’s individual capabilities and what they bring on the mound as the team’s starters.

LJ BREWSTER

During his freshman year, Brewster (5-4) started off as an infielder for the ‘Bows. But the junior struggled behind the plate with a combined average of .142 during his first two years. However, Trapasso noticed that the junior’s arm was worth more than placing him on the hot corner.

“Two things [I saw in him]: a 90-mph arm and struggling as a hitter,” Trapasso said, adding that his transition into the starting rotation has been pretty seamless.

Brewster’s pitching debut was against UC Irvine last April, where he was able to strike out the side.

He made six appearances on the mound last season, punching out seven batters in 5.1 innings.

good swings on so that’s something you can’t teach,” Trapasso said .

“You just have that.”

The head coach also commended Brewster’s tenacity on the mound that kept him throwing beyond the first six innings for most of this season.

“What LJ brings most of all is … a tough competitive mentality, that no matter what the situation is,

[Brewster, Brashears and Arakawa] have kept us in every game and that’s all you’re asking for.

– MIKE TRAPASSO HEAD COACH

This season, Brewster started off in the backend of the rotation – pitching third or fourth behind Brashears, Andrew Jones and Torres-Costa. On March 12, he started on the forefront of the rotation against Oklahoma and has been the team’s ace since then.

However, Brewster doesn’t exactly possess what a typical strikeout pitcher would have.

His ERA (2.51) is higher than that of Brashears’ (1.97). He has also walked 31 batters and thrown 10 wild pitches. But the Huntington Beach native brought in a skill that Trapasso said could not be taught – deception.

“He struggled a little bit with his command but yet he’s got some deception so when he’s behind in the count, he’s been throwing some balls that are belt high down the middle that guys just don’t get

he’s going to battle,” Trapasso said.

“What you can’t teach is just his feel for the game and the competitiveness, and that’s what he’s able to do for you.”

TYLER BRASHEARS

Brashears (6-4) began his collegiate career in junior college, where he divided his time as a starter and a reliever. During his first season, he recorded an 8-3 record and a 2.28 ERA. He struck out 71 batters in 86.2 innings and his opponents were only able to bat .189 against him.

“We saw him as a potential Friday guy and a definite starter in our rotation,” Trapasso said. “He’s a guy that could do exactly what he’s been doing [right now].”

Currently, Brashears is behind Brewster in the rotation. He boasts an ERA of 1.97 — fourth-best in the Big West — and also leads the

Arakawa (2-3), who Trapasso described as “a crafty lefty,” started with the Rainbow Warriors as a freshman. During his rookie season, he posted a 5-4 record and was sixth in the Western Athletic Conference with 65 strikeouts and struck out a career-high of nine batters.

However, the redshirt senior tore his left labrum in 2013 and had to sit out the entire season. A year later, he underwent the same surgery after his junior year, where he struggled with soreness on his shoulder throughout the season.

Following his rehab, Arakawa came back to the rotation behind Brewster and Brashears this season. But he did not start his first game until March 8, where he hurled two innings against Houston. He has thrown in every series since but continues to struggle with pain in his left shoulder.

On several occasions, he would stay on the mound despite throwing in pain. During his start against UC Davis on April 4, Arakawa was in discomfort after two innings. However, he refused to step off and battled through the pain to pitch until the fifth.

“He was a high draft [prospect] until the injury and now it’s just been such a struggle for him coming back from the injuries,” Trapasso said. “But I admire him more than any player I think I’ve ever had because of what he’s been through.”

Right now, Arakawa has pitched through five or more innings on five starts, throwing a total of 33.2 innings with an ERA of 4.28.

Although he has only pitched around half (531) of what Brewster (963) and Brashears (1060) have thrown, Trapasso remained confident in Arakawa’s recovery and ability as a starter.

“The arm action is different because of the two surgeries that he’s got no choice,” Trapasso said.

“He’s lowered his angle a little bit and he is nowhere near the velocity he used to be at.”

“But he could pitch and he’s lefthanded and he competes. He’s a warrior,” Trapasso said.

The Warrior baseball team opened its series against Long Beach State in flying fashion, defeating the home side in California by a score of 7-4 this past Friday evening. At the plate, the ‘Bows had three players register a .500 batting average while registering multiple hits. Jonathan Weeks went 2-for-4 with two RBI’s, Alan Baldwin also was 2-for-4 with one RBI and two runs scored and Chayce Ka‘aua was 2-for-4 with one RBI and one run.

UH would continue its success against the Beach with a narrow, defense driven 1-0 victory on Saturday. Tyler Brashears continue to give opposing batters nightmares at the plate, as the UH ace pitched eight innings surrendering four hits and three walks in a shutout performance. Saturday’s game marked the 11th consecutive game that Brashears has not allowed a run in.

The Rainbow Wahine won the Big West Conference Tournament last week Sunday in a nail-biting 9-8 overtime victory. Caity Lopes da Silva scored the winning goal for the ‘Bows with 10 seconds remaining in overtime play.

Coming off the tournament victory, the ‘Bows were honored by the BWC as utility player Chloe Barr was named the Big West Player of the Year and Rainbow Wahine head coach Maureen Cole earned Big West Coach of Year honors. Attacker Paula Chillida Esforzado, utility player Lopes da Silva and utility player Claire Nixon all earned first team honors while attacker Zoe Respondek was named as a Big West honorable mention.

The Warrior volleyball team saw its Mountain Pacific Sports Federation title run come to an end in a four-set loss to third-seeded Pepperdine this past Thursday in a four-set loss (21-25, 25-22, 26-24, 25-16). The good news for the Warriors, despite the loss, was that they earned an at-large bid for the NCAA tournament and will now look forward to play Penn State on May 5 where the winner of that game will go on to play No. 1 seeded Lewis on May 7.

The Rainbow Wahine had to come from behind for the win on Friday against CSUN, but were able to lift past the Matadors powered by a game-winning run scored by Kayla Wartner for the 4-3 victory. ‘Bows pitcher Brittany Hitchcock also registered a quality start for the ‘Bows pitching a complete game while allowing three runs on six hits.

UH looked to take the momentum of a come from behind win and used it on Saturday with a double-header against CSUN, but dropped the opening game of the double-header by a score of 2-0. The ‘Bows, would rally yet again to take the second game by the skin of its teeth with a 2-1 victory. UH’s two runs were scored on a Rachel Lack two run-home run in the fourth inning. Lack, who began the season slowly at the plate, has sparked UH’s offense since conference play began and now is second on the team with eight home runs on the year.

BFA ARTISTS : MANY MEDIUMS, MANY MESSAGES PHOTO ESSAY BY BEN DECASTRO STAFF WRITER

Throughout the spring semester, the Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) students prepared for the “Unabridged” exhibit in creative studios, where focus was placed on critique, development of individual ideas and exposure to curatorial work. Viewers are encouraged to uncover the idea and process behind the artwork in this student-curated exhibition – every artist has a story to tell.
