Not enough parking for 18,865 students Parking situation on campus continues to be a problem for commuters NICOLE TAM ASSOCIATE WEB EDITOR
REESE KATO / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
About 43 percent of off campus university affiliates drive to campus.
Although the number of carpooling permits have increased from 300 to 600 for Spring 2016, students like senior Kekia‘ i Cashman struggles to find parking on campus, especially without a parking pass. “Usually I try to come before 9 or 9:30 because that’s when usually that sign is put out, if worst comes to worst I’ll park at the one by Kamakakū, Hawai‘i studies area, but if not, I turn around and go home,” Cashman said. While renovation projects for the parking structure are in their beginning stage and being researched, nothing has been finalized since funding is not guaranteed, according to Deborah Huebler, director of Campus Services. “[The lack of parking and cost of parking] unfortunately work against each other, because in order to get more parking, you have to spend more money and that means high rates,” she said in an email. The campus is not pursuing a parking rate increase at this time, as the Commuter Services department is performing an evaluation. “We will revisit our rate structure once we finalize what direction Commuter Services will be going,” she said.
DEMAND FOR PARKING
A campus transportation demand management plan states that 36 percent of affiliates live within three miles from campus. “Just once a week, the people who live in the three to four mile radius did not drive their car and took a bus or something, that

In 2014, 30,732 parking citations were recorded with 4,265 appeals, compared to 2015, with 37,179 citations and 5,164 appeals – a 21 percent increase. Meisenzahl said the increase may be because of better parking attendants and a higher number of student violations.

Another initiative was the “Move with Aloha” campaign to motivate bikers to be associated with other eco friendly methods like bicycles and skateboards as another method of transportation. Until changes are made, students like Cashman, who lives in the Ewa Beach area, will have to continue to battle for parking.
ALTERNATIVE METHODS

New bike cage aims to increase security KEVIN HARRISON STAFF WRITER
If the campus’ new bike cage is successful, more locations will be considered. “The bike cage provides extra peace of mind for its registered users, and may also serve as a parkand-ride feature for people who carpool to and from campus,” Cathleen Matsushima, operations manager for Commuter Services, said in an email. The $30,000 cage, located in a well-lit and covered space in the Zone 20 parking structure next to the Stan Sheriff Center, is the first of its kind. It’s a part of UH Mānoa’s long-term strategic plans to promote more sustainable means of transportation and opened August 2015. Part of these plans include the additional Rainbow Shuttle Routes and the sale of more carpool permits.
INCREASING SECURITY
Matsushima said other universities, such as the University of Washington, have adopted similar measures at their campuses. Only registered UH students are allowed to use their ID card to access the cage, which can accom-

UH Mānoa sophomore Kristen Andres said she would use the cage to secure her moped because it is better than leaving it out in the open. She said that UH Mānoa should entertain other locations and they should do a better job of advertising the cage. Data on moped thefts for the last three years are available on DPS’s website. Rice said DPS is currently undergoing the process of finalizing its statistics for 2015, and though they are unofficial, Rice said that moped thefts are trending downward. Rice said DPS can only account for moped thefts. Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

DPS RECOMMENDS: • Lock your moped, even if leaving it unattended for just a few minutes. • Use multiple solid steel U-Locks or a combination with cable locks. • Remove personal belongings from your moped. • Don’t lock your scooter in the same location all the time. • Be sure that your lock or chain cannot be lifted over the seat or handlebars when locked. • When possible, secure your moped to a rack or immovable object (provided you are still in a legal parking area).

Student senate continues to invest in fossil fuels

Title IX office wants to involve more students Goal is a college atmosphere free of sexually-based discrimination
Senator says divesting doesn’t make sense JANSEN KUDAISHI / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
The ASUH investment portfolio funds scholarships, grants, events and projects. BIANCA SMALLWOOD STAFF WRITER
As the University of Hawai‘i moved to divest from fossil fuel producing companies by 2018, the Associated Students of UH (ASUH) has not made the same commitment. “This is one problem that organizations that divest run into inevitably. You have companies that drill for oil, companies that do the refining process, companies that create products or chemicals from oil, companies that transport fuel, etc.,” ASUH Sen. Sean Mitsui said in an email. “Therefore, it is nearly impossible to indicate what it means to divest from this industry. So, obviously no institution will be able to say that they have totally divested from fossil fuel companies when people who commute still drive cars that run on gas.” Mitsui also said that while it is important to invest in alternative renewable energy sources, it does not make sense to divest from fossil fuel companies as they invest in those alternative energy sources the most. THE DECISION TO DIVEST
The decision to continue divesting in fossil fuel companies first arose last year during an ASUH meeting, which shortly followed the UH Board of Regents (BOR) authorization of a task force to study
removing investments in fossil fuel companies. While ASUH acknowledged the BOR’s investigation into potential consequences and benefits in another meeting, they decided to keep their investment options open. “The BOR specifications are limiting already, and further regulating the assets that could be traded could lead to more volatile/less returns for our portfolio, which we cannot afford to miss out since
Moore also said that while the BOR’s decision to divest from fossil fuel producing companies came from its evaluation that the potential benefits outweighed the potential negative results, he would like to see ASUH change its decision in the future. “I personally hope ASUH will divest from fossil fuel producers, but the ASUH divestment evaluation is properly made by the ASUH board and not by the Board of

we finance most of ASUH’s budget through our investments fund,” Mitsui said. BOR OUTLOOK
UH Mānoa student Sydney Chow said if ASUH still has investments in nonrenewable energy sources, UH cannot claim to be completely divested from fossil fuels. BOR Chairman Randolph Moore said the university is distinctly seperate from ASUH. “ASUH is a student group, it is not ‘the University,’ and the Board of Regents does not control ASUH’s investments,” he said in an email interview.
Regents,” he said. While Mitsui said he was not sure if the measure for ASUH to divest from fossil fuel using companies would be reintroduced, he said the student senate is committed to promoting green energy. “Last semester I introduced a resolution to support the green revolving fund, which the campus is trying to implement now,” Mitsui said. “If implemented successfully, this would help UH not only save money, but also transition over to more efficient and sustainable sources of energy.” Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

The campus Title IX office plans to increase student involvement and training during the spring semester. “We know student involvement is important and we probably have to start somewhere and start small,” said Dee Uwono, campus Title IX director, in a phone interview. There have been about 80 complaints made to the Mānoa Title IX office since last semester. The office is staffed by two full time employees, up from the single staff member the office had last fall. “There are no students at the UH system office, it’s just a bureaucratic operation. …That’s the problem,” said Meda Chesney-Lind, chairwoman of the Women’s Studies department, in a phone interview. Several student groups, including the Graduate Student Organization (GSO), Associated Students of the University of Hawai‘i (ASUH) and athletics are some organizations that Uwono hopes to work with in the future. The UH system offices are made of 12 offices, including legal affairs and human resources, and are run by administrative officials. SYSTEMWIDE EFFORTS
The UH Office of Institutional Equity works alongside the Title IX office by offering assistance in educating and training the community on policies and procedures related to Title IX. “The primary [goal] of our Title IX
team for this year is to ... continue working diligently in achieving a college atmosphere on our campuses that is free from any sexually-based discrimination or misconduct, ” said Mark Lane, vice chancellor of administrative services and Title IX coordinator for Leeward Community

I’ll pass on the parking pass How parking and expenses at UH burden students
AUSTIN YOSHINO / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
UHM parking citations can run between $15 and $250. CARLY YASHIKI STAFF WRITER
LIMITED PARKING AND UNLIMITED COSTS
There have been countless situations where I’ve invited my friends to hang out on campus, but they all reply, “parking sucks.” Whether it be UH Mānoa students who commute or the general public, everyone is aware that Commuter Services is strict on regulations, sells costly passes and hands out generous citations. Not only are parking stalls limited, certain areas also require a pass. Parking passes cost up to $142 per semester, causing overall college expenses to skyrocket. Despite the fact that everyone with a pass is supposed to be guaranteed parking, that doesn’t always appear to be the case.
Although parking can easily be overlooked when considering all the school’s problems, it considerably impacts student life. “It sucks – I have to come here at 8 a.m. because of parking, and I don’t start classes until 12 p.m.,” UH Mānoa sophomore Bryce Galdones said. This is a sentiment shared by many students, making living on campus a popular choice, especially for locals who live far. Getting a parking pass is still cheaper than finding parking without one, which can cost up to $6 a day or $2 per half hour. That totals to about $180 a month for those without a parking permit. However, because the
amount of available parking passes is severely limited, they are reserved according to seniority. Therefore, usually only students of senior or junior standing get passes, which is unfair to underclassmen. Those who already pay copious sums to live on campus should have complimentary parking options around campus. THE UNAVOIDABLE BLUE ENVELOPE
One of my friends who lives on campus often has to go home to pick up supplies to bring back to the dorm. Although there is parking near Wainani and the freshman dorms, students are not allowed to park there, even on weekends. This is unreasonable for students – especially to those who dorm.
Students who have a pass to commute to school every day presumably won’t need a pass to park by the dorms on the weekend. Why not allow students to park there for brief periods of time on weekends? Since we are already paying anywhere between $4,585 to $17,374 to live on campus, when there are open parking stalls, we shouldn’t have to pay more for parking services. The last thing we want to see is a blue envelope under our windshield wiper saying we owe the school more money.
include finding residential parking in nearby neighborhoods or available stalls by the Hawaiian Studies building. However, these spots are rarely available as the general public and students who live on campus usually leave cars there. As a school with a population of about 20,000 students, more parking is necessary for the convenience of student life, and the possible growth of the campus in the near future.
IS THERE SUCH THING AS FREE PARKING?

Cease the iAddiction Smartphone dependence consumes people across the U.S. JORDAN CLAYBAUGH STAFF WRITER
As bigger and better technology continues to advance, we have started to regard our smartphones as not only a tool, but a best friend. College students today are especially vulnerable to smartphone addiction and need to find ways to ease up on cell phone usage. THE PROBLEM
A study conducted at Baylor University in August 2014 shows that, on average, female college students spend about 10 hours a day on their phone, while male college students spend about eight. Many of us even suffer from separation anxiety if we go too long without our phones. “Being disconnected from technology is surprisingly stressful,” Leon Edwards of Versapak said in The Drum. “There’s often a feeling of missing out, as we worry about what’s going on … without our knowledge.” Internet companies have also begun to pick up strategies that tobacco companies have been using
for decades - “create an obsession, then exploit it.” Neuroscientists have found that internet addiction may be astonishingly similar to nicotine addiction. “We’re beginning to understand that achieving a goal or anticipating the reward of new content for com-
behavior such as a need to keep playing a game, constantly check email, or compulsively gamble online.” THE SOLUTION

Getting that Degree on time How UH Mānoa can help students graduate in four years BROOKE ALCURAN STAFF WRITER
No one wants to enter a university and graduate in six years while spending extra money on tuition and books and time in a stuffy lecture hall. In November 2015, Hawaii News Now reported the six-year graduation rate at UH Mānoa rose from 48.6 percent in 2010 to 57.1 percent. Although students’ resilience to obtaining their degree should be praised, the chance that students who are not in a five or six-year degree program will not graduate on time is concerning. Colorado State University found that an average of 37 percent of incoming undergraduates change their major at least once. Princeton University reported that approximately 70 percent of its students change their major during their time at university. It is not the student’s fault for having a difficult time graduating in four years. The university can be more responsible for getting students through by preparing incoming freshmen for college or even decreasing the number of courses required to graduate. REQUIRED COURSES HOLD STUDENTS BACK
My freshman year I registered for a class that was necessary for my music degree with four other students. The class was only available in the spring, but the university was adamant that the class be cancelled since there were not enough regis-
trants. It was heartbreaking for one of my classmates because he was expecting to graduate the upcoming May. Thankfully, we were able to take the class and my classmate was able to walk down the aisles of the Stan Sheriff Center to accept his diploma last May. If that class had been cancelled, I would be taking it next spring, right? Wrong. The only teacher that could teach that class left for her doctorate’s degree. Often times, required courses are only available every other semester, or for the less fortunate, every other
graduate education, Bobbi Owen, said that his school decided to “embrace” the fact that they are a four-year university. In fact, UNC’s four-year graduation rate exceeds 80 percent. In contrast to UH Mānoa, where students can take as long as they would like to obtain multiple majors and minors, UNC requires students to graduate in eight semesters in order to have any additional majors and minors on their transcripts. Purdue University also started an academic boot camp the summer
By prioritizing the degree and getting students through to graduation, UH Mānoa will be able to decrease overcrowding. year, and they sometimes fill up quickly. Students must make sure they take required courses on a specific timeline or risk graduating later than they expected. As a result more students must fit into a smaller selection of available classes per year - another factor that leads to late graduation.
before freshman year to prepare entering students for college-level coursework. UH Mānoa needs to follow the precedents that universities like UNC and Purdue have set toward helping its students obtain their degree in four years.
PRIORITIZE GETTING THE DEGREE
THE GOAL: MAKE UH MANOA LESS CROWDED
UH Mānoa has one of the worst four-year graduation rates in the nation with only 18.6 percent of students graduating in four years. Although students stand a good chance of graduating, they may also spend some extra time and money doing so. University of North Carolina’s Senior Associate Dean for under-
“If you look at the statistics, something like 29,000 students applied to be part of the fall entering class in 2012,” said Owen about UNC’s admissions and graduation. “If there’s that many students seeking 3,900 spaces in a class, if the seniors are graduating, you actually have room to bring in those 3,900 students.”
SOCIAL
COMMENTARY Working off loans KHARI SAFFO / COMIC EDITOR
UH SYSTEM / FLICKR
UH Mānoa’s four-year graduation rate increased over 10 percentage points from 2010-2015.
By prioritizing the degree and getting students through to graduation, UH Mānoa will be able to decrease overcrowding. More students graduating means more spaces available for required courses for incoming students. If UH Manoa changed some of its policies on graduating with extra degrees and minors, prepared freshmen to take on college,
or eliminated some of the general education requirements, the university can potentially help their students graduate in four years.

Have a closet full of clothes but nothing to wear? What if your smartphone could plan your outfits for you? Enter “Stylebook.” This app helps you use the items in your closet to create “effortlessly chic” looks. Within the app, there are separate tabs that keep track of how often you’ve worn an item and a place to keep style inspiration: Closet, Looks, Inspiration and Shop. Upon downloading, you are required to add your items to the closet. To add items, press the +Item button in the bottom left corner. You can take pictures of your items and organize them in your closet and add style inspiration. When you want to wear your favorite shirt but don’t know what to wear it with, you can view the properties screen, where you can see all the outfits you’ve styled with that item. This little bit of organizing goes a long way — it makes creating looks more efficient. You can mix and match items you have and use to plan your next vacation using the Packing tab. You can use the shopping feature to search exact brands, colors and style you want to buy, and then add them to the closet to test them out with the outfit you want to wear. However, the one caveat about the app is that it takes hours to add every article of clothing when you first get it. RATING

Kennedy Theater’s new play brings shadows to life. NICOLYN CHARLOT SPECIAL ISSUES EDITOR
While Kennedy Theatre’s latest mainstage production has an enjoyable classic Hindu plotline, the strength in “Subali-Sugriwa: Battle of the Monkey Kings” lies in its overall auditory and visual experience. The play, directed by Professor of Theatre Kirstin Pauka, combines an on-stage gamelan band, dance, acting and shadow puppetry. This modern type of theatre is Balinese and called wayang kulit. The story is based on a section of the Hindu epic poem “Ramayana.” The demon Misasura (Matthew Kelty) wants the god Indra’s (Keita Beni) beautiful daughter, Tara (Qiaoer Zheng), to be his wife. When Indra denies Misasura’s request, Misasura starts a war with Indra. When Indra realizes he is losing, he seeks help from monkey brothers Subali (Joanna Mills) and Sugriwa (Hunter Kaye). After a bloody battle between the monkey and demon armies, Subali faces Misasura alone and gives Sugriwa instruction on what to do if he loses the fight. Several unfortunate events create a plot twist that leads to a rupture between the brothers, but that rift also leads one brother to come to an introspective realization about his character. While entertaining, the story was not revolutionary. Save the plot twist at the end, the pacing and events are fairly predictable. However, because this is an older and more traditional play, I did not mind the simplistic storyline. There were also many instances where morals were blatantly pro-
moted. For example, the narrator would often praise Tara for being such a kind and generous daughter whenever she did something self-sacrificing for her father or people, and the monkey brother’s reflections on his mistakes provided many obvious take-home messages for the audience about proper behavior. I was also frustrated when one of the brothers experienced an inexplicable character shift that seemed to occur only to fit the
butt. Tara was only briefly on stage, but her dress was detailed and primarily white and gold. Her dances involved many intricate and engaging hand movements. Certain characters, including Indra and Misasura, never came to the front of the stage and were only seen as shadow actors or puppets. This gave them a more mysterious air, which added to the power of their characters. The parts of the show performed with shadows were most exciting
enthralled as I was by the shadow puppetry and acting, you will likely find something else entertaining, such as the live band or dance routines. I have not seen a show this visually appealing in quite some time, and I enjoyed being exposed to a type of theater I have not seen performed before.

Regardless of the sub-par plot, what impressed me was the music, costumes and shadow puppetry. The live, on-stage band played throughout the entire show and coordinated well with the actors, dancers and puppets. All of the instruments were decorated to blend in with costumes and other scenery. The costumes themselves were brightly colored, often red and gold. The commoner monkey costumes were black, hairy, angular and almost creepy. The monkeys’ dance was characteristic of the primates, though, and I thought the actors’ movements were a nice balance of aggressive and humorous. There were many quick, somewhat violent movements, but the dance also ended with one scratching his
to me, as I have never experienced that type of theater before. Using only light, objects and people backstage, entire landscapes were created upon which gods conversed and battles were fought. I would have been content if the entire show were in shadow, but combining the shadows with acting and dancing in front of the screen was an effective tool for emphasizing different aspects of the story. My only complaint with the shadow theater was that some of the puppets looked quite similar to each other, so it was difficult to tell certain characters apart until they spoke. I recommend going to see “Subali-Sugriwa: Battle of the Monkey Kings.” The dance, music and shadow puppetry make going to this play more than worthwhile. The play has a variety of engaging attributes, so even if you are not as

Slacking can be a hobby How and where to learn to the up-and-coming sport of slacklining
ANTONINA JAVIER / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Lines of webbing were anchored at different heights and lengths across the coconut trees of Queens Beach. Small groups gathered on the sidewalk to watch Emu Singh, co-founder of O‘ahu Slackline, as he tested and walked across a line about eight feet off the ground. Slacklining is a sport in which a person balances on a length of webbing anchored between two points. Its origins can be traced back to Yosemite, where it started as a pastime activity for the climbers in the area but has since grown into a worldwide sport, even boasting its own World Cup. Singh, with his two friends, Sayar Zalobki and Joshua Wolff, founded O‘ahu Slackline two years ago. It is a casual community for new and veteran slackliners to meet and connect. “There had already been many people slacking on the island. We just wanted to bring them together,” Singh said. Being completely new to the sport, I was nervous to attend my first event and was relieved to find out that my friend Ragen wanted to come along. Once we arrived, Singh was quick to get us on a line and teach the first beginner poses a slackliner should learn. “Slacklining is both physical and mental. It takes a lot of core strength, but it’s also about focus and control,” Singh said. We went through balance poses, double knees and standing. These are meant to teach a beginner how to
find and maintain his or her balance while becoming familiar with the line. The area became busy with movement. All open lines became occupied, and more were coming up. Each member had varying years of experience. Some had six months under their belts, while others had four years, but everyone looked comfortable as they moved across the lines. Some did tricks and held poses. As Ragen and I struggled to take our first steps, they were quick to give us

It took member Benji Donnell two weeks before he could walk the line. “Something will click, it just takes time,” he said.

The Real ‘Hawaiii 5-O’ The unsung heroes of UH men’s basketball
SHANE GRACE / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
The 5-0 originally consisted of five members, but has since added starters into their rotation of choreographed cheers. DREW AFUALO SPORTS EDITOR
The University of Hawai’i men’s basketball team is charging through this season with a current record of 16-2 and a possible slot in the NCAA tournament, but it’s the sideline that is starting to steal the show. They call themselves the “Hawaiii 5-O” (the three I’s stand for: imagination, inspiration and integrity) are the main support system and heart of the Warriors. Made up primarily of guards Niko Filipovich, Dyrbe Enos, Zach Buscher, Brock Stepteau, Jakob Cornelissen and forward Jack Purchase, they have started to gain a lot of media attention. These bench players for UH are starting to make a name for themselves for their celebratory cheers, and have been nationally recognized on networks like OC Sports, ESPN and Hawai’i News Now. “At first it started off with five locked in members … we sort of wanted to control the game in a way we thought was fit,” Filipovich said. “So we thought of people who control things and the Hawai’i Five-0 being the police. So it [the name “Hawaiii 5-O”] just had a nice ring to it.” This exercised control they have comes from the boisterous cheering and unique choreography that the 5-O contributes for every positive thing that happens, including
free throw cheers called “tap taps”, a mock surfboard cheer and more. All of this is planned with the team beforehand, according to Filipovich, and is strategically mapped out. This support from the bench boosts the morale of team and
enthusiasm that comes from the bench players, they also know their limits when it comes to focusing on the most important aspect of the game: winning. “As long as we don’t get a technical foul, stay focused and make

encourages increased enthusiasm from fans, according to Enos. It also helps these players to solidify their bond with each other as teammates. “From zero to 15, we all get along really well,” Filipovich said. “There’s not one guy that hasn’t bought in to what Hawai’i has to offer and it starts with [head coach Eran] Ganot. We’ve all bought in since day one.” According to Ganot, the team has watched film of what their bench is doing during the games, as well as reviewing actual game tapes. This helps the team to recognize when they are not being supportive of one another and holds each of them accountable for being a contributing member of the Warriors, both on and off the court. Although Ganot encourages the
sure to be a part of the game, he [Ganot] is definitely okay with it,” Enos said. Even though the members of this squad are known for being supportive of the starters, their teammates and coaches also recognize that they are each talented in their own right. Filipovich, a 2013 graduate of Bishop Montgomery high school, was a twotime all-league selection, including first team honors as a junior. Enos was a walk-on for the Warriors and was a 2012 graduate from Kamehameha High School. Named co-player of the year for the Star Advertiser back then, Enos also earned first-team all-state honors and all-league three seasons in a row. Buscher was a 2014 graduate of Iolani High School and was a threeyear starter for the Raiders. He also
was an all-state selection and was named all-league his senior year. Stepteau was a two-time first team all-conference selection in his hometown of Dallas, Texas, while Cornelissen was voted his team’s Most Valuable Player and all-league on his high school team back in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Purchase who is also from Melbourne, Victoria, transferred to UH from Auburn University. He was also a member of his U17 Australian National team and was named the Grand Final MVP of the Big V’s under 23 league last season. Combining athletic talent with
their supportive nature, the bench players have created an entirely new era of support coming from the sideline for the Warriors, which is helping them become a force to be reckoned with. “It’s awesome because you want to see that. Attitude is everything,” Ganot said. “People can get caught up in X’s and O’s and numbers, but the reality is the fiber of your team has to be a team and guys who support each other. Our bench does a tremendous job supporting the guys who play a lot of the minutes … it’s inspiring and it’s the way it should be.” Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

The atmosphere in both Stan Sheriff Center and Hawai’i is unlike any other for freshman and Rainbow Warriors’ newest setter Joe Worsley. “Practicing there alone is an awesome experience because growing up you don’t get to practice in any gym like that,” Worsley said. “The coaches always talk about appreciating the place that we play and not take it for granted. When the crowd gets in there for matches, it’s unreal.” In five games, Worsley has seen a total of nine sets, and accounted for four total assists. This year, he will primarily serve as a reserve to junior Jennings Franciskovic. Though it is expected he’ll see a little action in each game to build his confidence for the college level. This past summer, Worsley who was one of Sportstars Magazine’s Top 50 athletes in the Bay Area, competed in the 2015 FIVB Boys’ U19 World Championship in Argentina. “[It was] the second time I got to travel out of the country for volleyball, playing there [Argentina] was unreal,” Worsley said. “Every match was 5,000 people packed into a small gym, and that atmosphere was unreal. The training was crazy too. We trained for four or five weeks in Iowa and we worked with coaches from UCLA, Stanford, and Loyola.” Worsley played as a libero in the
tournament, and led the team with 69 digs. Overall, USA performed well, losing only five total sets in their first five matches and winning their pool, before being swept by Russia in the quarterfinals. Although ‘Local Joe’ (as he is known to his teammates) played as a libero in the tournament, he had aspirations of playing his high school position as a setter. This combined with a family connection, drove the four-year high

school letterman to UH. “Hawai’i was the only school to offer a chance to come and set,” said Worsley. “And also my dad worked with UH men’s and women’s programs when I was really young, so my family got to understand the program here and how much it means to the people. Myself and the rest of my family thought it would be a good experience to come out here.” Since coming to UH, Worsley has enjoyed several spots that Hawai’i has to offer with his teammates, which has caused the team to build a bond. “We usually go to Sandy’s or Makapu’u … the older guys take the younger guys to the beach, which
game home stretch, and the team is confident because of the support it gets from the fans in Stan Sheriff. “A lot of the guys feel an advantage when we are able to play at home, and we understand that when we control what we do on our side of the net to our fullest potential, we can compete with anybody,” Worsley said. “Its good to have that confidence, but we have to understand that we have to work harder and grind out things.” Hawai’i will look to build momentum with two games coming against UC San Diego, which will kick off league play Jan. 29.

Standout players Felix Albert and Kai Wehnelt make up the Bows’ number one collective unit on the UH men’s tennis team and the pair are two European peas in a pod. Both are from Germany - Wehnelt from Berlin and Albert from Karlstadt - and both play the role of being the ultimate competitor. According to Albert and Wehnelt, they’ve gone along a similar route with their European upbringings. Both players competed in an array of sports before finally committing to tennis at an early age, and each one also had a connection to the Warrior team, thus inspiring their commitment to Hawaii. “When I started out I was just playing for fun,” Wehnelt said. “Then I played more and I went to small tournaments, like Berlin championships, Germany championships … My old coach was good friends with the coach here, John Nelson. He then said to go to Hawai’i and play college tennis.” A year after Wehnelt took his
coach’s advice, in 2013, Albert went on to join him in the states. However, the biggest change for the two, after arriving on the islands, was adapting to a completely new style of play. The duo, who had played on clay courts their entire lives, were now forced to play on concrete. Playing on concrete is much different than playing on clay as it changes the dynamics of tennis as a whole. And though the different textured court sped up the game in its entirety, it did not slow down the European pair. That’s where head Coach John Nelson came in. The he has accumulated 35 years of coaching so far and has been implementing a new and rather intriguing method of play. “I’ve done Japanese Ju-Jitsu my entire life. As far as martial arts go, I implement that towards improving their tennis game,” Nelson said. “It helps through a combination both mentally and physically, it’s leverage and balance. Sports psychologists have told me that martial arts are the highest level of sports psychology, it’s blending your mind and body.” The technique seems to be paying

off as the Bows are a front-running contender to win the Big Ten conference, and also candidate to make the NCAA’s. The dynamic duo is set to compete in the Maui Challenger, before moving on to the Pacific Mountain Invitational, and then finally the Big West Championship. “I’m teaching them the physics of it [Japanese ju-jitsu], and for me it’s fun,” Nelson said. “It’s never
about being vicious or violent, but it works and I love to do it.” With the help of this unique teaching method and the camaraderie amongst their teammates, the European pair have acclimated quickly on the court and are enjoying every second of their new Hawaiian college life off the court. “Sometimes we talk too much German,” said Albert. “We kid around
[and say that] the team will be full Germans one day … but I’m happy to have locals on the team from Hawai’i. I love being surrounded by people from other nations.”

PE‘AHI
The North Pacific has been very active lately with the strong El Niño weather pattern. Large low pressure systems slam into the Hawaiian islands and send large surf to the North and West shores of each island. The absence of a continental shelf allows the swell to maintain its full energy before meeting with the perfectly shaped reefs. Pe‘ahi (also known as Jaws) is a big wave surf spot on Maui and attracts many of the worlds best surfers when a large swell pops up on the radar.
