‘Fix UH grad labor,’ GSO says ‘It’s time we have a seat at the negotiating table’ KENT NISHIMURA / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

GSO’s advocacy committee chalked this message on the Campus Center stairs last Monday.

Graduate assistants are again asking the legislature to allow them to collectively bargain their wages and working conditions.

“Despite our efforts to negotiate in good faith, executive management has refused to pay us even half the cost of living and has shown no indication of willingness to do so in the future. The status quo just isn’t working. It’s time we had a seat at the negotiating table,” Benton Rodden, chairman of the Graduate Student Organization (GSO) employment and compensation committee, said in an email.

Rep. Isaac Choy hopes to change state law that prohibits student help from collectively bargaining by introducing HB 1529.

“Everybody, as far as I’m concerned, everybody has a right to collectively bargain,” he said in a phone interview.

There are approximately 1,300 graduate assistants on campus.

STUDENTS FIRST, EMPLOYEES SECOND

Choy’s bill from last year, HB 553, had received support from various groups, such as the University of Hawai‘i Professional Assembly (UHPA), and Executive Director Kristeen Hanselman said it’s not a new issue.

Gov. David Ige vetoed the bill last July, saying graduate assistants are students first and employees second. Benton said that’s a disingenuous statement.

“To deny that we’re employees is really just a way to get around having to treat us with the basic ethical standards that employers must treat employees,” he said.

Ige was also concerned about the bill not providing a bargaining unit the graduate assistants would create or be assigned to.

However, Choy said the law does not require this.

In addition, Ige and the university said collective bargaining

would mean an increase in cost to UH and the state.

“Increased costs to the university would depend on the outcome of negotiations as it relates to wages, hours, the amounts of contributions to the Hawai‘i employer-union health benefits trust fund to the extent allowed and other terms and TEACHING ASSISTANTS

gible for health plan benefits.

Benton said this is not enough.

According to the National Low Income Housing Coalition’s 2015 Out of Reach report, the annual income needed to afford a one-bedroom apartment in Hawai‘i is $50,289.

“Although graduate assistants are theoretically able to move up the

conditions of employment which are subject to collective bargaining,” said James Nishimoto, state Department of Human Resources director, in an email.

According to Dan Meisenzahl, UH spokesman, the university has not done an analysis of what this cost might look like.

“I guess there may be an increase in cost, but there’s also increase in opportunity,” Choy said. “So I don’t see organizing or unionizing a workforce as detriment to any business.”

COVERING COSTS

According to the Office of Graduate Education, assistants work between 10 and 20 hours a week. Though they do not get sick leave, they do have time off, and the duration depends on how long their appointment is.

Tuition waivers are part of graduate assistants’ remuneration, with stipends that adhere to a compensation schedule with 20 step increases.

Dean of Graduate Education Krystyna Aune said former Chancellor Tom Apple instituted the minimum step 6 increase in fall 2013 – $17,502 for a nine-month appointment and $20,472 for a 11-month appointment.

Graduate assistants are also eli-

pay scale/steps, the university does not provide any guidance on how to move from one step to another, and it is highly uncommon for GAs to move up the steps,” he said. “I personally have never heard of anyone reaching the $24,912- $30,312 salary range.”

In addition, workplace grievances are another key reason for seeking collective bargaining rights.

“The cost of living has increased by 74 percent since our last wage increase in 2004,” he said. “During that time, the university has found ways to increase spending on athletics, Cancer Center, and pay raises for executive management, etc., not to mention paying out for golden parachutes and the ‘Wonder Blunder.’”

ANOTHER OPTION

According to UHPA, the university and Board of Regents could alternatively put together policies regarding graduate assistant employment to serve as a contract.

“Now there’s not the protection of [Hawai‘i Revised Statutes] Chapter 89 under those circumstances, but then there are some clear standards around pay, around access to health benefits, and about access to working conditions and some of the issues

that probably concern graduate students like credits for authorship,” Hanselman said in a phone interview.

According to Meisenzahl, UH system leadership has met with GSO members and individually with graduate assistants to address their concerns – such as the ability to call in sick, maternity leave and early notification of class scheduling – and feels it has made progress on most of the issues.

“A draft of the revised policy that addresses length of appointments, considerations for step increases, notification dates for renewal and accomodations and work schedule for sick and emergency situations will be sent to stakeholders, if it hasn’t already,” Meisenzahl said.

However, UH still opposes establishing a collective bargaining unit.

“Graduate students are first and

foremost students and employed as an extension of their student experience at the university. The very nature of being a graduate student is not a long-term arrangement,” he said.

Of UH Mānoa’s nine peer institutions, only three allow graduate assistants to collectively bargain.

While the Mānoa Faculty Senate has not taken an official stance on the topic, executive committee member Sarita Rai, who also serves as UHPA secretary and campus Student Study Abroad Program director, is in favor of unionization.

“I support the graduate students unionizing so that they can have equitable, fair treatment and protection from abuse vis a vis their work/ learning environment,” she said in an email interview. “This is not just simply about getting pay raises.”

KTUH to get a boost University radio station increases listener capacity

ALEX BITTER ASSOCIATE WEB EDITOR

KTUH, the campus’ student run radio station, bills itself as “the only station that loves you.”

That love will reach a little farther starting next month, when a $100,000-upgrade will more than double the station’s transmitting power from 3,000 to 7,000 watts.

At this time, KTUH doesn’t reach most of the Ewa plain and parts of the Windward side. At the end of February, the signal will reach both of these places with the new upgrade, while the main frequency will shift from the current 90.3 FM to 90.1 FM. “With this increase in coverage, it will be the station’s responsibility to make sure that the mission [to broadcast commercial free music] is being followed and that DJs are continually broadcasting high-quality programming,” said Paige Okamura, KTUH’s former general manager and host of the station’s Kai Leo Nui Hawaiian music program.

KTUH will broadcast the stron-

ger signal from a new antenna atop Hawaii Public Radio’s existing one on Mount Tantalus by relaying a microwave signal from the top of Saunders Hall. Currently, the station transmits its signal directly from Saunders.

“This is high enough on a mountain, so we jumped on it when the opportunity came,” current General Manager Nick Ciuffetelli said.

The result is a signal that will cover almost all of O‘ahu, making it easier to listen to the station’s programming outside of metropolitan Honolulu.

While KTUH’s signal uses a translator to reach parts of rural O‘ahu, the signal switch will fill dead zones, such as those in Wai‘anae and Hawai‘i Kai, that the current signal doesn’t reach.

“As soon as it’s there, I expect these areas of the island to engage with us,” Ciuffetelli said.

The signal boost will be the first for KTUH since 2001.

Before that upgrade, KTUH’s audience was limited to listeners on and near the UH Mānoa campus and on the North Shore.

“After the change, the station’s DJs started getting more calls from new listeners in other parts of Honolulu, including neighborhoods around Diamond Head,” said Jeff Long, whose early morning soul show was the first to be broadcast at 3000 watts in 2001.

Boosting the signal then required suspending broadcast for weeks.

This time, KTUH’s programming won’t be interrupted.

But the process of planning the shift forced the station’s student managers to clear multiple hurdles, from renewing a construction permit to clearing the change with the Federal Communications Commission.

The costs of the latest upgrade, including the new antenna, licenses and permits, came from money donated by listeners. That includes money the station has raised through the annual Radiothon pledge drives it has conducted every year since 2009.

After it completes the signal upgrade, the station will focus on other plans for the future, including seeking its first fee increase in 38 years and converting the room it

uses to host bands live on air into a recording studio where artists can cut albums.

As with the signal change, maintaining community contacts and support – particularly among KTUH alumni – will be a key part of future projects Ciuffetelli said.

“It’s a great thing because you have people from 30 years ago to help out,” he said. “I have a list of 500 alumni, [and] I’ve talked to about 75 percent of those.”

Rate your dean VICTOR ONG STAFF WRITER

Results from a recent survey that asked University of Hawai‘ i faculty members to rate their deans found staff was dissatisfied with a quarter of deans and satisfied with five.

Kristeen Hanselman, executive director of the UH Professional Assembly (UHPA) said in a phone interview that the survey was requested so that faculty could “enage in a discussion with administrators and make things better.”

The survey used data from 867 questionnaires that asked faculty to rate their dean based on whether or not they agreed with certain positive and negative statements. Five responses were possible, ranging from “strongly disagree” to “strongly agree.”

Of the 46 deans rated, only five received scores above four, indicating faculty’s overall agreement with positive statements and disagreements with negative statements. Two of them, Noreen Mokuau and Peter Arnade, hail from UH Mānoa, while the other three – David Grooms, Wayne Sunahara and Ellen Ishida-Babineau – hold positions at UH Maui College, Honolulu Community College and Windward Community College, respectively.

THE RATINGS

The survey’s results show that 12 deans had an overall score below three. Of these, five come from UH Mānoa. The dean with the lowest rating comes from UH Hilo.

All other deans scored between three and four points, indicating that their faculty did not rate them poorly.

The largest disparity in ratings between deans were found in

“This was a first-time effort,” she said. “It came out of both a response from faculty requesting that there be more engagement about dealing with the attributes of deans, as well as the UHPA board of directors feeling that there needed to be a ‘look-see’ at how deans were performing.”

Hanselman explained that faculty in school systems usually do not have a part in the evaluation

– KRISTEEN HANSELMAN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, UHPA

statements regarding the deans’ apparent disposition towards shared governance in decision making and their dedication to the university and his/her department.

THE REASON

UHPA is the collective bargaining organization for faculty at UH and has exclusive bargaining rights with the university and does not represent administration such as deans.

Hanselman said the survey came out of a need for information.

of administrators. While faculty in some university systems do, in others only specific faculty members are invited to evaluate administrators and it is extremely rare for the faculty union to have any part in it.

“We do represent faculty members through the grievance procedure, or to exercise their contractual rights.” Hanselman said. “[But] faculty members [and] UHPA...have no specific role in evaluating administrators unless the university allows faculty to participate.”

THE REACTION

The survey and its results were kept mostly under wraps by UHPA. Donald B. Young, the dean of the College of Education at UH Mānoa, was one of the highest rated deans from that campus. He said in an email interview that he was not aware that such a survey had taken place, and believes that, upon a cursory glance, the results do not provide any actionable data.

The highest-scoring dean, Ishida-Babineau, has since stepped down and had no comment on the survey. The lowest-scoring dean, Kristen Kumashiro, is the interim dean of the College of Natural Sciences. UHPA recently filed a complaint on behalf of two faculty members, claiming she broke state statutes of collective bargaining.

Kumashiro did not respond to Ka Leo’s email inquiries at press time.

Shawn Nakamoto, senior director of communications and marketing, says that UH Mānoa acknowledges UHPA’s survey and released this statement: “Beginning in 2016, all Mānoa executive and managerial employees, including deans, will participate in an annual 360 review,” Nakamoto said. “[It] is one source of feedback for the overall evaluation and seeks input from all of the faculty and staff in a school or college, as well as internal and external peers and constituents.

[The feedback] allows for performance improvement and goal setting.”

A UH Executive Document details the review, which does allow for all employees in a school to rate their leadership. Nakamoto clarified that while the UH system as a whole had implemented the 360 reviews in 2001, UH Mānoa specifically started using a triennial 360 review system in 2006. The flagship campus will return to the annual review schedule this year.

Hanselman stressed that UHPA’s purpose was only to give faculty a “tool” to use for discussions, and that it is up to them how they want to use it.

“Every unit, every department, [needs] to use that information in a way to initiate discussion with their particular dean to make things better, to talk about the things that are working, to talk about the things that maybe are not working so well,” she said.

Attending to attendance policies In a day and age where students aren’t just students, these policies shouldn’t exist KEVIN ALLEN STAFF WRITER

In an ideal world, college students would be punctual, never be late to class or heaven forbid – absent. Unfortunately, we don’t live in this world and more often than not, undergraduates may have other engagements that could tear them away from instruction.

Professors have been rubbing salt in the wounds for these students by enforcing attendance policies, which can vary from minor point deductions to failing students – an insane concept in a world where college students are much more than just students.

shifts from time to time. Working an extra shift to pay for another semester of schooling is often given higher priority than 75 minutes of instruction.

With tuition prices rising each year, undergraduates are forced to work part-time jobs or fall into the never-ending pit known as student debt.

We all wish that off-campus part time jobs would work around a busy student’s school schedule to accommodate for class time. However, in reality that’s not the case. Working a parttime job involves dealing with the job schedule you’re given and picking up

time, 68 percent worked more than 26 weeks per year and half of the 68 percent of people worked more than 20 hours a week. This study shows that student workers aren’t uncommon, especially in Hawai‘i, which boasts one of the highest percentages of college undergraduates who work full-time. It’s a restricting decision for universities to mandate atten-

dance policies for students who are strapped for time, trying to pay for their education as well as other amenities.

STUDENTS MAKE THEIR OWN CHOICES

Students should be held accountable for their own prioritization of their time, and an attendance policy takes that choice away from college students who are trying to develop into responsible adults. The fact that students have already paid for these courses makes an attendance policy more absurd. It’s true that students are putting down money to learn and that not attending classes wastes their money, but it should be up to them to make that decision. If it’s not their decision, it hinders their opportunity to act like adults.

KEN REYES / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

Since most students work, the decision to attend class should be theirs.

THE EASY WAY OUT

According to a study by the Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, researchers found that the average amount of classes missed where attendance was referred to as a “participation grade” was 1.16, compared to the 2.04 of classes missed where

no absence policy was mentioned.

This shows that attendance policies may not be the best way to get students to attend class.

This may sound crazy – but professors could make students want to come to class by making it an interesting, engaging experience

Climate change isn’t a national security threat

Kimberlee Speakman Opinions Editor

This was illustrated in September 2015 when President Barack Obama called for an investment in more icebreakers, large ships that break-up ice, for the Coast Guard in the Arctic. It’s no secret the Arctic is a highly resource rich area that “the world economy, to some extent, is dependent on,” according to Russia Today. This includes not only an estimated 90 billion barrels worth of oil but also 30 percent of the world’s undiscovered natural gas.

However, according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center, icebreakers play a role in further melting glacial ice. Investing in more icebreakers for the Coast Guard fulfills the Department of

It’s only logical then, that the most direct solution would be to develop the infrastructure and technology that would allow our economy to transition out to fossil fuels and develop sustainable farming practices.

If climate change is a national security threat, we should address the burning of too many fossil fuels.

JEFF KIM STAFF WRITER

The Charlie Hebdo shooting, the Tunisian beach resort shooting and the San Bernardino shootings; 2015 was a year that could not escape the word “terrorism” with at least 21 recorded acts committed throughout the world. However, the event that gained the most global attention

and inspired thousands of people to change their Facebook profiles in solidarity, is indisputably the Nov. 13 Paris attacks.

What do the Paris attacks have to do with climate change? They perpetuated the concept that climate change is a national security problem. During the Nov. 14 Democratic debates, Bernie Sanders famously stated that “climate change is directly related to growth of terror-

ism.” He’s right. To frame it in such a light, however, is dangerous.

WRONG PEOPLE FOR THE JOB

“When you frame climate change as a security threat, the military will want to respond. And the way they will respond may have very little to do with stopping the spread of climate change,” said Joshua Busby, author of the Council on Foreign Relations 2007 report.

Defense’s (DoD) function of “being in the right place, at the right time, with the right qualities and capacities to protect our national resources,” but this does little to solve our climate change problems. With climate change framed as a national security threat, it is appropriate for the DoD to respond by appropriating more resources to address the impending scarcity that unmitigated climate will produce.

$7.6 trillion on military and homeland security since Sept. 11, 2001. In 2015, military spending accounted for 54 percent of the Federal Budget, with three percent spent on energy and the environment. We have not been spending enough money on addressing climate change from a direct approach and need to start there first.

A three year wait Why Hawai‘i’s raising the legal age to buy cigarettes age will save lives KIMBERLEE SPEAKMAN OPINIONS EDITOR

Hawai‘i’s legislature raised the legal age to purchase traditional and electronic cigarettes from 18 to 21. While many cities across the U.S., like New York City, have already raised the purchasing age to 21, Hawai‘i will be the first state to implement the change.

This new law shows that the Hawai‘i legislature understands the danger that cigarettes pose and are working to improve residents’ health.

DEADLIER THAN ALCOHOL

“Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death in the U.S.,” according to the Center for Disease Control (CDC).

Alcohol accounted for approximately 80,000 deaths annually between 2006 and 2010, while there are approximately 400,000 estimated deaths a year from cigarette use, as reported by the CDC. This is about four times the amount of deaths related to alcohol use, and yet, the legal purchasing age of 21 for alcohol is higher than the legal purchasing

age for cigarettes in most states and cities around the U.S., which is 18.

According to the World Education and the Ohio Literacy Resource Center, there are over 4,000 chemicals that can be found in cigarettes, including carbon monoxide (found in car exhaust), ammonia (used in cleaning products), arsenic (used in rat poison) and nicotine (used in bug sprays). Each of these chemicals individually are considered poisonous and are dangerous to consume. Out of the 4,000 chemicals in a cigarette,

Hawai‘ i will be educating the public about the hazards of smoking and issuing warnings for the first three months of 2016, hoping to decrease smoking in teens and adolescents. According to the bill, anyone under the legal age will be fined $10 if caught smoking and then $50 for consecutive offenses.

Those caught selling underage buyers cigarettes may be fined anywhere from $500 to $2,000. This increase in fines may help lower the underage smoking rate.

Cigarettes account for four times as many deaths than alcohol each year, according to the CDC. 51 of them are known carcinogens.

With the frightening amount of deaths caused by cigarettes, other states need to follow suit by raising the smoking age.

DISCOURAGE TEENS AND YOUNG SMOKERS

In addition to the new law,

In the U.S., 95 percent of adult smokers begin before the age of 21, according to the Hawai‘i Department of Health. The CDC also reports that 3,200 people and counting smoke their first cigarette before age 18.

Therefore, it is crucial that the government educate people on the dangers of smoking.

HOW EFFECTIVE WILL THE LAW BE?

Although it is too soon to tell whether the new law will actually lower cigarette usage in the state, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) predicts that raising the purchasing age minimum to 21 will impact public health in a positive way. According to the report, the increase in purchasing age will reduce the smoking rate by 12 percent and decrease smoking related deaths by 10 percent. Although these percentages may seem small, they translate to approximately 223,000 less premature deaths and 50,000 fewer deaths from lung cancer, based on the IOM’s report.

Although people can make their own decisions at age 18, it doesn’t hurt that they have a few more years to mull over a life changing decision such as picking up a cigarette or not. In the end, the new law is likely to prolong the lives of many future keiki and residents of Hawai‘ i.

Try these strectches and others to relieve back pain while seated.

ANTONINA JAVIER STAFF WRITER

The start of the new semester brings students back into the classroom and its chairs. Between study sessions and classes, students will have no other choice but to spend chunks of their day sitting.

Karen Kimbrell, an employee health coordinator for Hawaii Pacific Health, explained that spending time being sedentary can take a toll on a student’s health.

However, guidelines show that paired with every credit hour should be two to three hours of studying per week. In translation, a full-time student at University of Hawai‘ i Mānoa taking 12 credits should be studying 24 – 36 hours.

These study hours combined with class hours translate to around 34 – 46 hours of sitting in one week.

“For one thing, prolonged sitting puts a strain on your back, it also stiffens your neck and shoulder,” Kimbrell said. “But most importantly, what people don’t see are the effects on bones. Weight bearing helps maintain bone density.

When you’re sitting, your bones are not bearing much weight.”

Christina Soo Hoo, a yoga instructor for Volcanic Climbing and Fitness, added to the list, saying, Sitting stagnates your muscles, which lead to less blood being pumped throughout your body.

Kimbrell suggested everyone should get up at least once every hour, but understood some lectures

run longer than an hour.

For students stuck in class, the first line of defense against the effects of prolonged sitting is proper posture.

“Your feet should be flat on the floor, your lower legs and thigh should be making a 90-degree angle, and your back should be straight… but allow for the natural curve of your back,” Kimbrell said.

Another tip for keeping proper posture is for students to avoid hunching their shoulders. While sitting at a desk, taking notes on lap-

increased blood flow.

“People who sit in airplanes for long periods of times can develop deep vein thrombosis (DVP)” Kimbrell said. “There are plenty of guides for airplane exercises online. Students can use those exercises as a resource.”

DVT is a condition in which a blood clot develops in a deep vein.

Along with specific medical conditions, DVT can occur when a person doesn not move for an extended period of time. The major conern of DVT is that a blood clot may break

hinging at the hips let your chest fall as close to your legs as possible (knees can be slightly bent or straight). Your hands then grab opposite elbows. Let your body hang in this position.

When ready to release the pose, let your elbows go and slowly lift your back up, vertebra by vertebra, until you are standing.

In order to counter the effects of sitting, Soo Hoo also suggests engaging in minimal back bends.

Evading long hours at a desk is nearly impossible, but with these exercises, students can hinder negative effects of prolonged sitting.

tops or in notebooks, it is easy to develop the habit of bending over desks. A student can resolve this issue by drawing his or her shoulders towards each other while broadening and lifting the chest.

If a student finds him or herself sitting in back-to-back lectures, there are mobilizing activities that can be done at a desk with little disruption to the class. A student can lift his or her legs off the ground simultaneously or alternatively. Another exercise is to pick his or her foot off the ground and make circle patterns. This action allows for ankle rotation and

There are also quick and easyto-do stretches students can do in between classes to counter the effects of sitting.

One stretch Soo Hoo recommended is the Rag Doll Pose. This pose stretches the hamstring, calves and hips. However, there are more benefits to this pose.

“Rag Doll is a forward fold. In the pose your head is below you heart.

In doing this, you are sending fresh blood to your brain,” Soo Hoo said.

The pose is done by first placing your feet hip-width apart. Slowly

Undie run participants were given luminescent bracelets to wear.

The run started at Holmes Hall after Student Housing officials asked the fraternity to leave the Hale Aloha Courtyard due to the activity not being cleared with them and a potential time conflict with a sanctioned event. From Holmes Hall, the runners ran towards Varney Circle, down McCarthy Mall, a right turn onto East-West road, and back to Holmes Hall.

LET’S MAKE POSH HAPPEN

FIVE WAYS TO KEEP YOUR MAKEUP INTACT IN HUMID HEAT

ZEBLEY FOSTER ASSOCIATE COPY EDITOR

If you are looking to get brand name clothes for cheap, look no further. Poshmark is an app that allows users to buy and sell used gently-worn clothes. With standard shipping at $4.99 priority in the continental U.S., Hawai‘i and Alaska, this free app is worth the download.

Upon downloading the app, shoppers choose which brands of clothing, jewelry and makeup they want to see on their feed. Once the brands are selected, the app asks for your sizes to help narrow down the listings to fit.

All users have their own closet where they can list their own gently worn items for sale. Creating a listing takes less than a minute. You take a picture of the item, and add a detailed description and price.

Because Poshmark needs to make money, they take a percent from the total sale. For orders under $15, the company earns $2.95. On listings over $15, the app earns 20 percent. When someone makes a purchase, Poshmark will send you the packaging for the item. Once the buyer confirms they have received the order, you can get Poshmark credit or cash.

Buying on Poshmark is smooth – which is what makes it so dangerous. When you see an item you like, tap on the listing to see more pictures and read the full description.

The price will be on the bottom left next to a crossed out price, which shows you if the seller has reduced the price before. If you want to buy it, you tap the blue “Buy Now” button on the bottom right. However, if the price is too steep, you are able to make the seller an offer. While some listers’ prices may be firm, most will bargain with you. Happy Poshing!

Maintaining your makeup everyday is possible with the assistance of a few tools. All of the following suggestions are available at your local drugstore, Sephora, Macy’s or MAC store.

NOTHING While reapplication is tempting, odds are that you’re layering this makeup onto oil instead of your skin. This can clog your pores. If some of your makeup begins to crease, try your best to remove the oil with blotting paper.

If the makeup still looks out of place, try to remove it instead of covering it.

MOISTURIZER

POWDER

According to Elizabeth Tanzi, Dermatologist of Capital Laser & Skin Care, the humidity we feel is one of the causes of our oily faces. While you can’t change humidity, you can change the amount of oil your skin releases.

The key is to moisturize. All skin types require moisturizer because the oils in the moisturizer reduce the activity of the sebaceous glands. These glands produce natural oils that condition the hair and skin. If you are experiencing oily skin that is causing your makeup to smear, try moisturizing more often.

For all you makeup lovers out there, powder can be a trustworthy tool. Instead of using a liquid foundation, which is more prone to melting, try out a mineral powder. If you prefer a liquid foundation, then set your face with some loose powder to lock in everything you have applied.

Rimmel has a matte loose powder that helps control shine and covers efficiently. For those of you that just wear eyeliner and not eyeshadow, you may experience the melting of your eyeliner onto your upper eyelids. If you have this problem, try applying a black eyeshadow over your eyeliner it may help to keep that cat eye intact.

BLOTTING PAPER

FINISHING SPRAY

Blotting paper is one of the best suggestions for a quick fix. Not only do they remove some of the oil on your face, but they can also do it with minimal damage to your makeup. They are cheap and compact so you can take them anywhere. If you love free goodies, find the nearest bathroom and grab some toilet seat covers. They work just as well, or sometimes even better than some blotting paper brands.

Finishing spray is like a second defense, right after powder. Finishing spray is a lightweight mist that can prevent the creasing of your makeup.

Some sprays even provide a matte finish that can make a huge difference in the appearance of our faces. The cheaper brands include NYX and Maybelline. If you prefer brand names, Make Up For Ever and Urban Decay sell finishing sprays at your nearest Sephora but are pricier.

Navigating through adversity Challenges for UH sailing team extend beyond the water

COURTESY OF UH ATHLETICS

The team says “live action,” in strong winds, Turtleman’s saying from call of the wildman, accordingly to Assistant Coach Jesse Andrews.

ANGUSINA CAMPBELL STAFF WRITER

Not every UH athletic program has the privelege of getting school funding. In fact, all 36 members of the UH sailing team are barred from receiving any athletic scholarships.

“We don’t have as many privileges to be on the team [as other sports], and we don’t get very much out of it other than having a good time. So everyone on the team is here for fun,” one of two UH sailing captains Cole Brauer said. “It’s hard not having a scholarship for this team, but I come every single day, and I love it.”

The reason for this lack of scholarships is because sailing is not an official NCAA sport. It is governed by the Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association (ICSA), whose bylaws prohibit schools from awarding scholarships for sailing.

“The original thought way back in the early 1970’s, to ban aid based on sailing ability, was to try to create equality for the schools that were both varsity and non-varsity programs,” Head Coach Andy Johnson said. “But I don’t feel that that’s really working anymore, and there’s this separation anyway between the more well-funded programs and not-so-well-funded programs.”

CONTINUED DOMINANCE

The team, part of the Pacific Coast Collegiate Sailing Conference (PCCSC), competes nationally nearly every year. Sophomore Caitlin Schadt qualified for the Women’s Singlehanded National Championships on Nov. 7 and 8, placing 16th out of 18 competitors in 2015. It was the first time a UH sailor had qualified since 2007.

In addition, Johnson discussed some program highlights, like having three All-American sailors. Two of which competed in the Olympics, and one who was a world champion and raced in America’s Cup. “[The All-Americans] just missed winning a national championship by two points, which in sailing is nothing,” Johnson said. “We were third, so it was the closest finish in the history of the college sailing nationals.”

UH sailing (originally co-ed but with an added women’s division in 1997) won its first national championship in the women’s division in 2001, and its second in 2004, in the coed divi-

never gets to see me unless I travel to California, and so all of that funding that allows me to travel there is coming from him, or somebody else’s grandma, grandpa, or mom and dad.”

BALANCING ACT

The scholarship prohibition has forced team members, like Brauer and several others, to take up jobs or look for other scholarships in order to fund their sailing expeditions.

Several members of the team are science majors, including marine biology, mechanical engineering and meteorology.

It’s hard not having a scholarship for this team, but I come every single day and I love it.

sion. The team also won the Dinghy Nationals in 2004. The program has had seven All-Americans in it’s history, including current assistant coach Jesse Andrews.

FINANCIAL ALTERNATIVES

Although sailing is one of UH’s successful programs, it is not a money-making sport. Due to this, it does not garner significant financial support from UH Athletics. The team raises much of its own traveling and miscellaneous expenses through donations, of which family, friends, alumni and Johnson make up the majority.

“Each student is supposed to bring in a thousand dollars,” Brauer said. “My grandfather, for instance,

potential crew members, usually women, due to the 10-mim. limit.

“If they’re between 100 and 140 pounds, like the water, a good athlete, and want to come and show up and learn, we can keep them,” Johnson said. “Some of them have developed, in the past, even All-Americans, and our team captains.”

Given the lack of financial incentive, Johnson said, he focuses on the positives for recruitment: coaching staff, location and the weather.

“A lot of these programs are sailing in dry suits every day, and it’s freezing cold, and they go to the East Coast anyway for that,” Johnson said.

“But if you’re going to come to the West Coast, you’re going to go to a handful of new programs, and we’re one of those.”

MORE POSITIVES THAN NEGATIVES

Some of the practical skills Paoletti – COLE BRAUER has gained extend far beyond the CURREENT UH SAILING CAPTAIN water and into his way of life. He described sailing as a “thinking “It took me a semester to start to sport,” which involves strategy. figure out how to balance it,” fifth“It helps me keep my IQ up, and year meteorology major Giacomo I don’t lose any brain cells,” Paoletti Paoletti said. “You come right home said. after practice, and you’re tired; you’re Brauer has brought a commuwet; you’re salty, but you sit down, nity-type feel to the group.

Regardless of the adversity they face, Johnson has always encouraged the team to keep things in perspective and always focus on the positives. “[Andy] says the same thing, ‘You’ll never look as good, and you’ll never feel as good, so enjoy it while you have them,’” Brauer said. ”It kind of pushes us to want to make this little bit of difference in our lives, and so this is a little bit of happiness.”

Jank the Tank Stephan Jankovic takes on a leadership role as a UH Rainbow basketball player

JAY YUROW STAFF WRITER KENT NISHIMURA / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

Junior starting forward Stefan Jankovic is one of the Rainbow Warrior’s star players.

RASHAWN WONG STAFF WRITER

The grass is always greener on the other side for Rainbow Warrior forward Stefan Jankovic.

The man known as “Janks” has been a pivotal piece to the the University of Hawai‘i Rainbow Warrior basketball team this 2015-2016 season, especially after posting double figures in his last four outings against teams like UC Riverside and Cal State Fullerton.

He has played at a much higher clip than last season, averaging 14.8 points per game, a 56.3 shooting percentage from the field and 6.9 rebounds a game.

Despite UH’s current process of appealing the NCAA’s decision to place a post-season ban on the Rainbow Warriors next season — which would allow current juniors in the program to transfer to different universities without penalty — all eyes are on Jankovic to see what his next move will be.

“My time here in Hawai‘i hasn’t been your typical college experience ... All I can really do is focus on this year,” Jankovic said. “They are doing the appeal process, and nothing is set in stone. Nothing is really known right now, so there is no point on me wasting time thinking about next year, when I have to play the best basketball I can play right now and try to make the tournament.”

Around this time last season the Mississauga, Ontario, native was struggling to find his niche after

transferring from the University of Missouri and having to sit out the first half of the season due to NCAA transfer rules.

“I never live with regret. That’s kind of my whole way of living you never want to look back you always want to look forward,” Jankovic said. “Things happened and I was unhappy. I think I made a good decision. … I stayed there for a year

ketball is a rare opportunity, and certainly one that doesn’t present itself often in Belgrade, Serbia, where Jankovic is from. His latest success on the court as a Rainbow Warrior should come as no surprise.

Prior to beginning his college career at UH, Jankovic was a starting varsity basketball player in West Virginia at Huntington Prep High School. There he helped the

and a half; it just wasn’t going my way so I definitely don’t regret it.”

It has not been an easy transition either. During his tenor at the University of Hawai‘i, Jankovic has had to work through three different coaching transitions. Fast forward, he has stepped into the starting role this season and is an influential piece to the Rainbow Warrior success, despite yet another head coaching change.

Due to the fact that the 6-foot11 junior is not a typical center, it is difficult for him to fit coaching schemes that want him to play the position. However, the Canadian big man is still finding a way to play his game knocking down 14 treys this season thus far.

Playing Division I college bas-

team to an overall 28-2 record and averaged 9.5 points, 7.1 rebounds, 3.2 assists a game. Given his place now as a pivotal piece to the Warriors basketball team, Jankovic still remembers what is most important, both on and off the court.

“Forget basketball for a second, just being able to get a scholarship and a degree and all those things is big,” Jankovic said. “I want to make my parents proud on the court too, so it’s just a win-win on all sides.”

When two people get married, the tradition is that the pastor will first turn to the bride and asks, “Do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold this day forward, for better, or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?”

When University of Hawai’i assistant diving coach Anita Rossing married UH head diving coach Mike Brown, the pastor probably forgot to include, “Both in and out of the swimming complex?”

This husband-wife coaching duo is rare in life, let alone a Division I collegiate team, and this couple’s journey to get to that point was not simple.

The two met when Brown was just beginning his tenure as head diving coach at the University of Texas. Rossing was a standout diver native of Sweden and had previously worked under world famous diving coach Gunnel Weinas. Brown had high expectations for the young, newly appointed Rossing.

In fact, at the end of her college career, Rossing was a two time Olympian (Los Angeles 1984, Seoul 1988) and eventually joined her soon-to-be husband as a student assistant diving coach at Texas.

Critical of his coaching methods at first, Rossing began to find a healthy balance between her Swedish techniques and Brown’s.

So much so, that the two decided to unite as a coaching staff, as well as in their personal lives, joining as husband and wife.

“We [eventually] left Texas. I was there for 18 years and Anita was there for 14 and we lived in Victoria, Canada

for six years,” Brown said. “[After taking a sabbatical for five years], we visited Hawaii and really enjoyed that; it was our bigger calling.”

Both Rossing and Brown enjoyed their trip to the islands in previous years. They had thought of Hawai‘ i as a fun place to visit, but never considered coaching a possibility until they got the offer. “[During one of our trips to Hawai‘i] we wanted to visit the diving coach because we knew him,” Rossing said. “Unfortunately, at the time he wasn’t there, so we went and walked around the pool anyways. I kind of got a vision of working [at UH]. I didn’t really think about it again, but then [Sam] Freese called and offered us the job.”

Both coaches are now 16 years into their tenure with UH and the men’s program is a strong contender amongst some of the top diving programs in the nation.

Both Brown and Rossing have accumulated over 23 conference coach or co-coach of the year awards, while Brown was just recently elected into the Hawai‘ i Swimming Hall of Fame.

The duo is in the midst of the 2015-2016 diving season that features talented veterans, as well as many up-and-coming swimmers and hope that their chemistry continues to strengthen their personal lives, as well as their program here at UH. “We wouldn’t be here if we couldn’t coach together,” Brown said. “Not too many people can operate in work like us, but we’ve figured out how to do it. It’s definitely one of our greatest accomplishments.”
