THE HUNT IS ON

The hypothesized ninth planet could be another Pluto

SOURCE: NASA 

Pluto was classified as the ninth planet for more than 70 years.

Astronomers may have flashed back to the days that Pluto was a planet when they found new evidence pointing to the possible existence of a new “Planet X.” “The planet has not been discovered. It has been predicted to exist.

This is not the first prediction like this. It seems to have been misunderstood and overhyped by the media,” said the University of Hawai‘i Institute for Astronomy (IFA) astronomer Richard Wainscoat in an email.

On Jan. 20, Caltech researchers Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown traced a hypothesized ninth planet’s orbit in the outer solar system using mathematical and computer models, according to their study published in The Astronomical Journal.

Now, they’re asking the public to help find it.

A HUGE GUESS

In 2014, IFA alumni Scott Shep-

pard and Chad Trujillo were the first to obtain observational results of distant bodies known as the Kuiper Belt Objects. In their paper published in Nature, Sheppard and Trujillo hypothesized that the abnor-

Their findings led to the aforementioned computer simulations that indicate that the planet is 5,000 times bigger than Pluto — 10 times the mass of the Earth — and would take 10,000 to 20,000 years to orbit the sun.

Some of these assumptions may be too fundamental to allow the result to be fully reliable.

“It is very important to keep in mind that there is no actual discovery of a new planet,” Haghighipour said.

IFA astronomer Dave Tholen worked closely with Sheppard and Trujillo when a “HyperSupremeCam” (HSC) became available on the Maunakea Subaru Telescope and says that this could just be another Pluto.

According to Tholen, astronomers found Pluto when searching for the unknown object, but Pluto is “ incredibly tiny,” while calculations suggest that the object could be as large as 10 Earths.

“We’re basically seeing the same thing happen now. One hundred years later, people [will have] hypothesized the existence of another

mal orbits of distant astral bodies may be due to a gravitational force imposed by an unforeseen object possibly larger than Earth. “[It] is only a computer simulation that merely suggests a way of explaining the 2014 observations,” said Nader Haghighipour, an astronomy professor at IFA, in an email.

planet out there,” Tholen said. “The problem is, we don’t know the orbit of these things well enough to make a definitive calculation so there’s lots and lots of uncertainty.”

TYNE PHILLIPS STAFF WRITER

MONDAY FEB. 08, 2016

Trujillo and Tholen will be using the Subaru Telescope to build further support for their hypothesis by looking at the orbits of distant bodies. The HSC on the Subaru Telescope lets it capture more of the sky than other telescopes.

Though Caltech hopes to discover the planet within the next five years, Haghighipour said the next step is for theoreticians to carry out similar computational simulations and see if Caltech’s results can be reproduced.

“Being a theoretician in planetary dynamics myself, I know that any computer simulation carries simplifying assumptions,” Haghighipour said. “Some of these assumptions may be too funda-

mental to allow the result to be fully reliable.”

Tholen believes it is possible to find the planet in five years, but it is unlikely.

“You have to be intelligent as to where you look for it, because when you think about the amount of sky that can be covered by this camera, it’s maybe two [of 48,000] square degrees you would have to take 24,000 exposures [each five minutes long]. If you did nothing but use this telescope for this project, then it’s possible you could find it in year.

But the telescope is shared, so you can’t,” Tholen said. “Some committee is going to sit down and prioritize all the projects that have been proposed. If they only give you four nights on the telescope to do it, over the course of a year, it’s going to take you 100 years to do the project.”

What would you name the planet?

‘Yes means yes’ for UH? KEVIN HARRISON STAFF WRITER

If passed, a pair of bills would require the University of Hawai‘i system to adopt new student safety and sexual assault policies.

“HB 1249 attempts to establish a clear policy of ‘yes means yes.’ This policy ensures that predators cannot take advantage of a victim’s incapacitated state,” said Rep. Sharon Har, co-author of House Bill (HB) 1249, in an email.

Senate Bill 923, a companion bill to HB 1249, would require the UH Board of Regents (BOR) to adopt policies for investigating and responding to issues of student safety such as dating violence, domestic violence and sexual assault. The bills also set out clear guidelines “affirmative consent” in sexual activity.

THE NEED WAS ALWAYS THERE

Har said the need for these bills has always existed and that sexual violence is an issue across the nation.

While the house introducers of HB 1249 consulted studies done on sexual assault on college campuses, Har said these numbers are difficult to trust because of cover-ups.

She said that most of the language in both bills was adopted from California Senate Bill 967, which was passed September 2014.

“The existing policy of ‘no means no’ has not brought an end to sexual assault on and off campus, it has only made sexual predators more clever to cover their tracks and avoid prosecution,” Har said.

WHO’S REPONSIBLE?

Both bills were introduced in January 2015 and were carried over into the 2016 regular session.

BOR chairman Randy Moore said

while the board is mentioned as the party responsible for implementing these proposed policies, it is typically not their job to write policies.

“The [BOR] doesn’t have a take on bills unless it specifically affects the board; the [UH] administration has the kept the responsibility for responding for the legislature,” Moore said in a phone interview.

However, UH spokesperson Daniel Meisenzahl said the state legislature has already addressed its concerns regarding student safety by adopting SB 387 last legislative session. “[SB 387] created the affirmative consent task force that includes UH stakeholders and community experts responsible for reviewing the UH policy,” he said in an email.

SB 387 was adopted as Act 222 in 2015 and created a task force of UH and state officials, students and others to make recommenda-

tions to the interim sex assault policy already in place.

AN INTERIM

Moore believes that UH system interim executive policy EP-1.204 adequately addresses the issues outlined in the bills.

EP-1.204 provides definitions of student safety issues such as sexual violence, stalking, gender-based harassment and consent. It also outlines procedures for formally reporting, investigation and resolving these issues.

Though it is only an interim policy, Moore said it is still in effect and will exit its interim status once all the appropriate feedback has been obtained.

SHANE GRACE / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

Hawai‘ i is the first state in the nation to prohibit those less than 21 years old to smoke.

Smoking regulations inch further Students and staff at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa are already part of a “smoke-free campus,” but soon, they might also be banned from smoking in their cars outside of campus.

“This is an important bill for Hawai‘i, especially since we have very high levels of childhood asthma,” said Thomas Wills, a UH Cancer Center researcher. “This could potentially save in long-term health costs.”

Senate Bill 2083 calls for the prohibition of smoking in a motor vehicle while a minor is present, even if the windows are down.

According to Sen. Will Espero, the bill encourages a healthy state with healthy citizens.

The bill would regulate traditional cigarette use as well as electronic cigarettes and vaping, according to co-author Sen. Suzanne Chun Oakland.

Hawai‘i County has had a similar law in place since 2010, and some feel it would be beneficial to implement it statewide.

Konni Wilson, a UH senior, does not vape, but supports increased regulations on smoking.

“I think [vaping] is kind of rude because other people can smell it, even if it’s not as harmful as regular smoke … you don’t want to influence [minors],” Wilson said.

ELECTRONIC CIGARETTES AS A GATEWAY

Wills recently published a study in Tobacco Control that found teens who use electronic cigarettes are more likely to begin smoking traditional cigarettes one year later.

The study looked at 2,338 high school students in 2013 and 2014.

Researchers were also able to

predict the uptake of electronic cigarettes by factors such as age, ethnicity and home life.

SECOND-HAND SMOKE

Second-hand smoke, especially in confined areas like cars, is extremely hazardous, Wills said, as the car’s upholstery can absorb smoke, only to later release the toxins back into the air.

“I personally wouldn’t mind,” said Michael Choe, an electronic cigarette user. “I try not to vape around people, especially kids.”

There is also a nicotine-free option for electronic cigarettes users.

According to Wills, electronic cigarettes are safer and healthier to use compared to traditional cigarettes due to lower amounts of toxins and carcinogen levels. However that does not mean it is healthy to use them.

Researchers are unsure about the health effects of vaping compared to smoking conventional tobacco products.

“As e-cigarettes are such a new product, data is not available yet to reveal the long-term health effects on the human body,” Wills said.

include dry mouth, coughing and throat and lung irritation in some individuals, according to Wills.

He mentioned that those who simultaneously use electronic cigarettes and cigarettes to cut back on smoking do not quit smoking altogether. Instead, this behavior encourages individuals to continue smoking.

Although still an emerging technology, scientists will continue researching the impacts of electronic cigarettes on the human body.

UH Mānoa needs LGBT studies Why we need these degree programs at UH Mānoa

PER PETTERSSON / FLICKR 

An NGLTF study found that 29 percent of students didn’t feel that their curiculum represented LGBT individual’s contributions.

JORDAN CLAYBAUGH STAFF WRITER

An increasing amount of colleges like Cornell University, San Diego State, the University of Wisconsin and the University of Massachusetts have been offering new programs and degrees for Lesbian, Gay, Bi and Transgender (LGBT) studies. So why isn’t the University of Hawaii at Mānoa taking a progressive step in the right direction?

The campus needs to consider adding LGBT degree programs that will serve students as societal norms change.

LGBT COURSES AT MANOA

On campus, there is a LGBT student services, and there are often campus events that celebrate the LGBT community. However, it’s a different story in the classroom. The

campus admissions office said there are currently no LGBT classes available at the university. Under the women’s studies department, there are some classes that interweave LGBT topics, but studying the subject for a chapter isn’t the same as studying it for a semester.

WHAT ARE LGBT COURSES?

LGBT studies cover issues including: • Feminist theory • Gender studies in politics and religion • Body politics in the arts • The neuroscience of gender.

Whether you’re gay or straight, black or white, religious or atheist, these issues pertain to everyone in this day and age and should be available to study at college institutions, including UH Mānoa.

“The biggest benefits [of LGBT classes] are often to students who identify as straight—that’s been my experience teaching these classes, that students who identify as straight take them and in course evaluations say how eye-opening the courses were,” Dean of Humanities at Columbia University Sharon Marcus told the Columbia Spectator.

These courses pertain to real world situations happening globally. It is important to remember that although we face problems in the U.S., oftentimes we may be completely unaware of major LGBT and gender injustice happening worldwide. For example, Cornell’s LGBT course “Migrant Families in Detention: Feminist Theories and Practice” explores U.S. immigration policies, spe-

cifically detailing migrants from central America escaping gang threats and child abuse.

“In the humanities ideally, [the new faculty] would bring to light the historical role of queer and trans identities in a variety of locations, indigenous to a variety of cultures, and the way that those individuals or movements have shaped the history of those places,” Miles Hilton, Columbia Queer Alliance president, told the Columbia Spectator. “Because, oftentimes, those achievements are buried deep in a textbook, if you ever get to them.”

WHY UH NEEDS LGBT COURSES

According to a paper published by the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force (NGLTF) by Susan R. Rankin, only 31 percent of students

agree that their university or college thoroughly addresses issues related to gender identity or sexual orientation, while 29 percent disagree. The paper also showed that 29 percent of students do not feel like their curriculum puts enough emphasis on LGBT issues and achievements. If UH Mānoa adds LGBT studies to its curriculum, more students at the university may feel the opposite way.

Since the campus is a diverse school, incorporating the role of LGBT individuals into our studies would further enhance our global learning. This means that LGBT studies should be included the same way that civil rights and women’s studies are included various courses.

Experience puts college grads ahead of the game PATISEPA CORREIA STAFF WRITER

Students spend thousands of dollars trying to get a good education.

However, if the ultimate goal is to get a job, why do students put in so much time learning about their field of interest instead of actually getting experience doing the job? Experience provides individuals with the skills needed in order to better perform duties at a workplace; skills that one cannot attain solely with a college degree.

To truly learn something requires practice. Instructors can talk about skills useful for a job, but in order for a student to fully understand the weight of of what teachers are trying to teach, students need to practice those skills in daily life.

BENEFITS OF HAVING PREVIOUS JOB EXPERIENCE

Employers do not want to teach an an individual with a master’s degree things that someone with-

out a degree can do without having to be taught. Having work experience allows employers to discover what kind of worker you are, giving them a sense of how you will handle the job and duties. If you are someone with

According to a University of Hertfordshire study of 500 employers, employers place more emphasis on work experience than a degree. This means that students who put in the effort of obtaining work experience instead of relying on a degree are more likely to get a job with an employer.

take advantage of these opportunities because no one is going to push them to gain work experience for a future job.

At UH Mānoa, there are many services provided by the different colleges to help students find internships. For example, the College of Social Sciences offers a political science internship that places students in the legislative, judicial and congressional offices in order to receive first-hand experience

Paid internships are more likely to lead to a job, according to U.S. News.

and knowledge about working for the national and state government.

There is also the Mānoa Career Center that offers advising, mock interviews, resume workshops, career fairs and job search help in order to provide students with the experience needed for their field of study.

While people are rushing through college to get a degree, that

degree alone cannot land a good job. If the goal is to land a great position, experience is crucial. Having experience will get you ahead of the game, so let’s get to work.

Relax, she’s just breastfeeding Why we need to stop shaming public breast-feeding CARLY YASHIKI STAFF WRITER

The other day, I came across a video on YouTube called “BreastFeeding in Public (Social Experiment),” in which a few people conducted a social experiment on public breast-feeding. While the video itself showed some negative reactions to breastfeeding, the comments brought out a more hostile side to the conversation.

I was appalled at how many people were disgusted by women breastfeeding in public. When I see a women breastfeeding in public, I see a mother feeding a hungry child.

We live in a society where advertisements of scantily clad women are seen in the media. If people can handle seeing, and even give praise to a Victoria Secret ad featuring models in lingerie, they should also be able to handle a mother publicly feeding her child.

BREAST FEEDING IN HAWAI‘I

Public breastfeeding is legal in Hawai‘i in public and private places.

The law states: “It is a discriminatory practice to deny, or attempt to deny, the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges,

advantages, and accommodation of a place of public accommodations to a woman because she is breastfeeding a child.”

However, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures, Hawai‘i does not exempt breastfeeding mothers from indecency laws, nor has the state implemented or encouraged a breastfeeding aware-

WHY NOT IN PUBLIC?

There were numerous times when I heard some of my classmates ask: why do women have to breastfeed in public? They then cite that since people are not allowed to urinate or be nude in public, breast feeding should therefore not be allowed.

Equating breastfeeding with pub-

SOCIAL

COMMENTARY ‘Time Management’ KHARI SAFFO / COMICS EDITOR

lic urination or nudity would be saying that it is a vile act. To me, that is not the case. A mother is providing nutrients for her child, and the fact that a child is suckling a mother’s breast should not be an issue.

I am not a mother, but I imagine that it is exhausting to need to feed your child every 1.5 to 3 hours while

juggling other responsibilities. If a woman who has had to carry a child for months and must deal with the fatigue and stress of being a new mother wants to breastfeed her child on a public park bench, then they should be allowed to do so.

This is not just for the mother, but it allows the child to be fed sooner.

‘CAN’T SHE JUST USE FORMULA?’

Breastfeeding is recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), as it supplies the best nutrients for babies. Breast milk aids with digestion, helps protect infants

against getting sick and it may even help maintain a healthy weight in the later years of the child’s life.

Therefore, it is the prefered choice to mass produced milk formula.

Although formula may be the next best alternative, what most people don’t realize there is a special bond that is made between

the mother and child during skinto-skin contact. When a mother is breastfeeding it allows her to interact and develop an early relationship with her child. Because of its positive effects on the mother and the child, breastfeeding should be encouraged, even if it is in public.

The newest game on the top charts is Color Switch. This obstacle game looks deceivingly simple: guide a colored object by tapping through different shapes and collect stars. However, the ball succumbs to gravity, so it requires players to continuously tap to keep the ball afloat. You can trade in collected stars to change the shape of the object you guide.

The challenging part of this puzzle is that the ball, which is colored, can only go through the section of the obstacle that is the same color. If you try to pass through the obstacle when the section is a different color: your ball explodes and it’s game over.

Once you collect the star inside the different shaped obstacles and pass to the other side, you’ll pass through a multi-colored dot. This dot changes the color of your object.

With multiple modes, the games offers several ways to agrivate players, yet the difficulty allows for skills to grow.

This then creates an expierence that is addicting but all the more rewarding as you progress to a higher score.

Da Hawaiian Poke Co. Fresh poke close to campus STEPHANIE KIM STAFF WRITER

Da Hawaiian Poke Co., which opened three months ago in the Safeway Kapahulu Center, offers a variety of poke from its “Aloha Your Way” poke bar, signature bowls and plate lunches.

I’ve wanted to try Da Hawaiian Poke Co. since I saw it on Yelp’s “hot and new” list, so I stopped by on a weekday after class. The Safeway Kapahulu Center is not far from campus, and parking was easy to find.

Walking into Da Hawaiian Poke Co. I was greeted by friendly faces and an array of colors – from 16

ing sweet ginger shoyu and wasabi and 24 toppings, including furikake and uni. There are vegetarian options, like aloha tofu or greens served with a creamy wasabi dressing instead of your choice of rice, which includes white, sushi or brown rice.

Everything on the menu seemed pricey in comparison of other poke restaurants, but it included a lot of options and premium items, like Maine lobster or salmon. The cheapest entree item on the menu was the regular-size aloha tofu poke bowl ($7). Poke and salads are available a la carte for as low as $5.

We decided to order the house

spicy ahi bowl was fresh, soft and buttery. There was no lingering fishy taste and the ahi was not too spicy.

The company only uses line-caught ahi, straight from the sea. The Maine lobster California bowl was a bust compared to the spicy ahi bowl. The quality of the lobster did not match the freshness of the ahi, and the sushi rice overpowered the flavors of the lobster. If we had gotten it with white rice, it would have been much better and it would have complemented the dish.

Overall, the poke was fresh, cut in equal bite-size pieces and was firm to the touch, but soft like but-

ter, something you always look for in a good poke bowl. However, despite the freshness of the fish, it really wasn’t worth $10. I could get the same amount of fish and rice at another restaurant for less than $7.

I’d recommend trying Da Hawaiian Poke Co. for yourself and see if it’s worth the price.

plus toppings in glass jars sitting on the counter to the glass display case of 20 plus poke, salads and fresh fish options. The restaurant is a tight fit with no tables inside.

It’s more of a grab-and-go establishment, but if you are planning to eat there, you can find outdoor seating by Panda Express or across the parking lot in front of Safeway.

The menu is displayed on two T.V. screens over the glass case – one featuring a “Da Aloha Your Way” poke bar and one featuring plate lunches ($11-22) and signature bowls ($7-14).

Sweethearts: S.A.D. expectations vs reality saying sweet nothings for over 100 years IKAIKA SHIVELEY FEATURES EDITOR

Often dubbed “Single Awareness Day,” Feb. 14 is a day for both love and sorrow. While lovers throughout the world are using this day to proclaim their love to each other, others only see the day as a reminder of their single status. Like a relationship, celebrating “Single Awareness Day” has its expectations, but in reality you may get something entirely different; so if you await an arrow of love, don’t be surprised if Cupid stabs you in the back.

TREAT YO’ SELF EXPECTATION Being single means there’s more disposable income. Do yourself a favor and treat yo’ self to a spending splurge. Seeing couples walking hand-in-hand may leave you feeling distraught, but today you will be spending the day with your lovers, Ralph Lauren and Chanel.

A few suggestions for modern Sweetheart messages DAMIAN LYMAN STAFF WRITER

Necco has been making its iconic, debatably edible Valentine’s Day candy, Sweethearts, since 1901. They’re the perfect way to say to your special someone: “I love you, and I have no idea how to express that love – would you like to eat some emotive chalk?”

Though there are a few classic messages each February (Be Mine, Kiss Me, Sweet Talk), each year Necco comes up with a handful of new messages. It’s not easy to capture the zeitgeist in red dye on the front of a heart-shaped wafer; past attempts have yielded some poor results (1999’s “Fax Me” springs to mind). In the spirit of collaboration, Necco, here are some potential Sweetheart messages for modern lovers.

REALITY After a long day of shopping, you find yourself at Chili’s for a full order of baby back ribs. Noticing that it’s too expensive, you’ll find yourself ordering off the Two-for-$20 menu.

THE MOVIES EXPECTATION Although “Deadpool” is out this Valentine’s Day, you make the smart decision to avoid the theaters during this affectionate three-day weekend. This evasion is mostly due to the geek couples and viewers who simply want to watch the film for the chance to see Ryan Reynolds walk around shirtless.

REALITY Instead, you pop in a copy of “Guardians of the Galaxy” to reach that superhero fix you’ve been yearning for. Then you realize that Rocket Raccoon’s love for Groot is what you’ve been searching for all along. “We are Groot.”

OOPS

THIS IS NOT A HEART

Truth is the bedrock of a stable relationship. This message lays all the cards on the table. It’s the perfect preamble to the apology you’ll have to give for forgetting about Valentine’s Day. “Hey, I forgot about Valentine’s Day until I was in line at Safeway today,” it says in no uncertain terms. “I would’ve bought you one of those bears holding a box of chocolates, but they ran out.”

Is your sweetie a budding Dadaist? Impress them with this ultra-specific re-imagination of Magritte’s famous 1928 painting “The Treachery of Images.” Get in the mood by lighting candles and discussing the inherent distance between representation and reality, and that distance’s implications in art.

HEAD TO THE BARS EXPECTATION Prior to Valentine’s Day your group of single friends decide to combat loneliness with a night in town. What sounds better than having a few laughs with your closest comrades, bar hopping and possibly meeting that special person?

REALITY Unfortunately, most of your friends will flake after finding last-minute Tinder dates. The ones who remain will spend the night dancing, mingling and head home after for a night of fun – leaving you drinking a “Sex on the Beach” alone as the bartender gives you an empathetic offering of a bowl of peanuts.

BE OURS

ISIS

“Be Mine” is an outdated message. It alienates the growing amount of people in nontraditional and polyamorous relationships. “Be Ours” is a more inclusive message that recognizes these relationship models.

Also acceptable: “Be Mine-ish,” for Tinder users.

This Sweetheart is a solemn assurance to your better half. “Even though I’m wooing you, I’ve got one eye on vigilant watch for any potential terrorist stuff. This is my promise to you, babe: If I see something other than our eternal love, I’ll say something.”

READING EXPECTATION Sometimes the best medicine for social abandonment is to curl up in a blanket and dive into a new genre of literature. Dipping your toes into a new fictional world while sipping on a cup of chai tea – an escape from the real world.

REALITY You decide to indulge yourself into the world of manga. As you invest your emotions into characters, it becomes clear that the protagonist is more relatable than you think as they seek approval and love. “Notice me Senpai!”

TRUMP FOR PREZ

OOFLBGL

Traditionally, Valentine’s Day is not the best time to talk politics, but it’s an election year, and there’s no sweeter way to let your honey know that you are cool with fascism. Like the candidate himself, this Sweetheart comes only in orange.

What are words? An arbitrary system of symbols and sounds, too pedestrian to encapsulate how I yearn for you with every fiber of my being. No poetry suffices. And so, my darling, my love; with quavering, unworthy lips I whisper: OOFLBGL. ILLUSTRATIONS BY AMY LOWE / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Rainbow Wahine turn corner in season SHANE GRACE / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

The Wahine are currently riding a four-game winning streak.

Rolovich must make a statement with his first recruiting class at UH.

‘Defend pride rock’ National Signing Day marks new era of UH Football JAY YUROW STAFF WRITER

With newly appointed head coach Nick Rolovich, the University of Hawai‘i Rainbow Warriors are looking to end its bad luck streak, and National Signing Day last Wednesday marked the first step towards reformation.

“We were great once, we can be great again,” Rolovich said.

With this being his first year at the helm of the program, Rolovich announced a total of 18 signees: 16 high school seniors, one college transfer and one Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) transfer.

“This is an outstanding class, built on proven winners from championship programs and local recruiting,” Rolovich said. “We also opened up pipelines with Australia and American Samoa, places where we want to continue to recruit …

We covered a lot of ground in the position groups, and to do it in a condensed amount of time, is a testament to the staff.”

One priority Rolovich’s coaching staff focused on was local recruiting. The ‘Bows picked up state defensive player of the year Keala Santiago from HHSA Division I champion Kahuku High School, as well as all-state wide receiver Kalakaua Timoteo from Mililani High School. Both were considered top prospects in the state, and both decided against going to the mainland for college to attend UH. In addition, UH managed to get Leilehua High School’s defensive lineman Netane Muti, line-

backer Jeremiah Pitchard from Farrington High School and Iolani High School’s offensive lineman Josh Hauani‘o.

In past years, the Warriors needed athletes on the line on both sides of the ball. With the recruitment of these two players, it stands to say that there will be a more consistent flow for both offense and defense.

The ‘Bows also won favor with

11-39

It’s plausible that he could soon be throwing to wide receiver Marcus Armstrong-Brown of Diablo Valley, California, another pick from the 2016 recruiting class. Armstrong-Brown was a top ranked receiver at his junior college, catching 102 passes and 20 touchdowns in his two seasons at Diablo Valley.

Other recruits include: Eugene Ford (defensive back), Josh Hauani‘o (center) Max Hendrie (Aus-

multiple Pac-12 school recruits, like Norte Vista High School’s Freddie Holly. Holly, who is the first from California, was the nation’s 19th ranked running back in high school. UH also gained linebacker Ikem Okeke, of Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas, Nevada. Okeke was rated as the 10th best outside linebacker in the West region and is predicted to be very effective on the UH defense.

Perhaps the ‘Bows most intriguing pick up was quarterback Cole McDonald out of Sonora, California.

The dual threat QB comes in at 6-4 and 205 pounds and threw for 2,313 yards and 19 touchdowns overall in high school. He rushed for 1,091 yards and 10 touchdowns as a senior. With no certainty regarding who will start at QB next year for the Warriors, McDonald will be a contender in that race.

tralian rugby player), Viane Moala (defensive lineman), Scheyenne Sanitoa (safety), Kingjames Taylor (offensive line), Davine Tullis (QB), Fred Ulu-Perry (offensive live) and Zack Wilson (defensive back).

“It’s easy to go to the big programs, the Pac-12, or the SEC,” Timoteo said. “But [Hawai‘ i] is a very special place … [Rolovich] says ‘Defend pride rock’, and that’s what I’m going to do.”

It doesn’t matter how you start; it’s how you finish.

A basketball team with a .500 record at home should not be worth acknowledgment. However, the Rainbow Wahine have, seemingly, turned their season around.

The 2015-2016 season started off well for the 14-9 (7-3 BWC) University

after her eligibility ran out after last season, UH needed to find a go-to scorer. Currently, only Destiny King averages double-digit points (10.4) per game and although the lack of a premier scoring option affected the ‘Bows early on in the season, it’s clear now that their glaring weakness has become a strength.

UH has seven players who average five points per game. To put that into perspective, UC Riverside,

The Wahine must continue to keep up this level of play in order to make the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2002. of Hawai‘i women’s team, winning four straight games before losing to Washington State on Nov. 22.

That 62-52 loss led to a 1-4 record in the team’s following five games.

Just like a basketball game, momentum changes sides and teams go on runs, while others suffer through droughts, unable to gain any positive traction. The Wahine, since starting 5-4, have gone 10-5 including seven road wins. In fact, the ‘Bows have a better road record (9-2) than they do at the Stan Sheriff Center (5-5) this season.

It’s important to keep in mind that two games this season took place in Lā’ie, O’ahu which are considered neutral games since they technically aren’t home fixtures for the Wahine – both games were losses to Texas A&M and BYU. Having a deep rotation is something that head coach Laura Beeman has been adamant about since taking over the program, especially in the last two seasons. But this year, the rotation is bigger.

The Wahine have 13 players who average 5.4 minutes or more each game, including six players who average over 20 minutes per outing.

After losing Shawna-Lei Kuehu

who own first place in the Big West with a 7-0 record as of Saturday, only has six.

One might argue that Riverside might have less scorers than UH, but they have more players who can put up double-digit points on a regular basis. While that may be true, the fact still remains that the Wahine’s rotation is deeper and that any player can be given the ball to score and aren’t confined to just one or two options on offense.

With the Big West Tournament just around the corner, the Wahine must continue to keep up this level of play in order to have a shot at making the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2002. But after beating the likes of UC Santa Barbara and Cal Poly on the road, it looks like momentum is back swinging in the Wahine’s favor.

QUESTION IS, FOR HOW LONG?

UH takes on Long Beach State Thursday, Feb. 11 at the Stan Sheriff Center. Tip-off is set for 5:30 p.m. in the first game of a double-header followed by the Rainbow Warriors matchup against UC Irvine at 8 p.m.

Stijn’s house The young freshman has promising future in ‘Bows uniform

SHANE GRACE / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

van Tilburg had a career-high 21 kills Friday night against No. 1 UCLA ZACH JOHNSON ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

Although freshman Stijn van Tilburg has shined so far this season for the Hawai‘i men’s volleyball team, averaging 4.19 kills per set, he found his way to Hawai‘i by chance.

“I posted a video on YouTube, and I asked a friend of mine if he could bring my name around to the U.S. and other places in the world,” van Tilburg said. “A week later I got an email from Hawai‘i.”

Once van Tilburg got in contact with head coach Charlie Wade, the decision to come play for the ‘Bows was made.

“Hawai‘i was the first school that contacted me. There were other schools that contacted me after, but I never really replied,” van Tilburg said. “I decided to come play because of the competitive competition, I like to be challenged every week and I believe we have ranked teams the rest of the season, and Hawai‘ i is a beautiful place – it’s beautiful weather every day.”

Originally from Amsterdam, Netherlands, van Tilburg has moved away for volleyball before, and although this is farther than the previous move, his parents pushed him into the journey across the globe.

“I moved away when I was 16 to live with my team. It was kind of

like this, practice twice a day, and my house, I could see the school and I could walk down the gym,” van Tilburg said. “It [the move] was further, but my parents both didn’t study abroad, and my mom said she regretted that decision, so she said to go out there.”

Since coming to Hawai‘i this season, van Tilburg has started every game, won the MVP in the Outrigger Resorts Invitational with a tour-

have been a major factor to the ‘Bows 9-2 start this season, but they have also seen steady play from the other European starters.

Iain McKellar and Hendrik Mol lead the team in total blocks with 32 and 30 and have contributed offensively with both averaging at least 0.9 kills per set.

“Coach [Wade] likes to have players that are foreign. We have people from everywhere around the

nament high 57 kills and is second on the team in total kills to opposite hitter Sinisa Zarkovic.

Zarkovic is in his senior year and is someone that van Tilburg looks up to as a leader.

“In one of the first practices, I was really fighting up with him [Sinisa], or trying to make it a competition every day, but I really like playing with him because he is really competitive and he expects the best from you every day,” van Tillburg said. “He always finds something that you can improve. I love playing with him.”

world, and everyone is different.

But everyone came here and basically left everything behind, so we are really close,” van Tilburg said.

“Now we have four Europeans starting [McKellar, Mol, Zarkovic and van Tilburg], and volleyball is different around the world, so he has the best of everything.”

Along with the international starters, the Warriors boast an impressive freshman and reserve lineup that make the guys compete in practice.

So far, van Tilburg’s greatest memory came in the Outrigger Invitational when he won MVP in front

of his parents who were visiting, and has enjoyed his free-time in Hawai‘ i.

However, it is competing in the Stan Sheriff Center that has had the biggest impact on the Dutch native.

“Playing here at home, just walking in [Stan Sheriff], it gives you chills,” van Tilburg said. “The biggest crowd I played in front of was a little over 2,000, and that’s here every week and I think it will increase.”

The ‘Bows split with the no. 1 UCLA Bruins, handing the Bruins its first loss of the season, thanks to players like van Tilburg. The team is confident moving forward.

“I think we have some pretty good chances, we have good people behind the service line, and we have good passing,” van Tilburg said. “We all have guys that really want to win and are winners. We haven’t lost many sets at home, and we have been able to win in those close games.”

The Warriors will head on their second California road trip this season, beginning on Feb. 12, against Stanford. First serve is set for 7 p.m. PT.

MEGHAN CRIMMINS SPENCER OSHITA ASSOCIATE FEATURES EDITOR SHANE GRACE ASSOCIATE PHOTO EDITOR

Walking among the hordes of UH undergraduates spilling out of science lectures, 19-year-old biochemistry major Meghan Crimmins dreams of a future as a pediatric cardiologist.

“I actually had heart surgery myself when I was four,” Crimmins said. “Growing up, I used to see the pediatric cardiologist myself. Ever since then, I’ve always wanted to pursue that.”

Though she graduated from Radford High School, Meghan is part of a military family that started out about two decades ago in Texas. After moving around from Arkansas and Alabama to Virginia and North Carolina, she settled, in the summer before her senior year, right here in Hawai‘ i.

“My home? Arkansas, I guess,” Meghan said. “I spent the majority of high school there. I was in Jacksonville, just outside the capital of Little Rock.”

Meghan spent senior year working hard, applying to several direct entry programs before getting into the Doctor of Medicine Early Acceptance Program (DMEAP) offered by the John A. Burns School of Medicine.

“It was the program,” she said. “That’s why I came. It’s a good scholarship, but I had gotten better scholarships. For me, it was the security and safety of being near my family. It would be stupid for me to turn down an automatic acceptance into med school. I would’ve been more happy at a

THE PROGRAM LETS US HAVE A KIND OF FAMILY, PEOPLE YOU WILL KNOW FOR THE NEXT EIGHT YEARS, AND POTENTIALLY YOUR ENTIRE LIFE Southern school. But for me, for my longterm happiness, for my future, this is where I need to be. And I’m happy I’m here.”

Though Crimmins has been passionate about pediatric cardiology for most of her life, even volunteering some of her free time at children’s hospitals, she is more than just an academic.

“I used to be big into acting,” Crimmins said. “I was the lead in several plays, I did pageants. I did Student Congress, improv. And surprisingly, it’s an odd combination, but I was also captain of the girl’s track and cross country teams during my sophomore and junior year.”

Meghan enjoys the privileges of being near family while being in the DMEAP and chasing her dreams.

“The program lets us have a kind of family, people you will know for the next eight years, and potentially your entire life,” Meghan said. “I really like the friends I’ve made here, I enjoy my classes here, I really enjoy learning.

Just follow what your calling is. For me, my calling is medicine. You just have to find the way that you’ll be most happy in no matter what.”
