One hundred thousand violated Students falling victim to ID theft now represented in a class action lawsuit C HRIS M IKESELL Senior Staff Writer

After allowing four security breaches to happen in the last 18 months, the University of Hawai‘i now faces a class action lawsuit from the students its breaches exposed.

Thomas Grande, a lawyer representing UH graduate Phillipe Gross and the other alleged victims of security breaches dating back to 2009, said he had been investigating the breaches since June, when a security breach at the Parking Offi ce exposed the information of 53,821 UH students, staff, alumni, and guests.

But when another 40,101 names and Social Security numbers were discovered on an unsecured website administered by a retired faculty member conducting research last month, Grande decided it was time to take action.

“It came to a point where we knew that if we didn’t file the lawsuit, the university would not step up and

do the right thing,” Grande said.

So far, Grande said, the university has not done enough to protect the victims of security breaches and identity theft.

“The university has been conspicuously silent in communicating with the victims of the privacy breach,” said Grande. “They did send out a notice, but the notice told the victims, you have to monitor your credit report. You have to check your credit card statements. You have to look at your bank statements.

“What should have been done is the university should have said ‘We’re going to pay for a credit monitoring service so that our mistake doesn’t affect you at all.’”

In an interview earlier this week, UH Mānoa Chancellor Virginia Hinshaw acknowledged that security breaches have been a problem, but she also said that security breaches are a systemic problem as opposed to individual personnel issues.

“I think sometimes you don’t appreciate how many times it doesn’t happen because of some of the things we’ve done,” said Hinshaw.

Hinshaw supports educating the personnel who have access to the information, but she also said that there is only so much that can

be done to prevent sensitive information from leaking.

“We can have letters that say this was inappropriate, but in one case – the last case – the person (responsible) was already retired, so there are limits as to what you can do in those situations,” Hinshaw said.

One measure that Hinshaw said would supplement these education efforts would be to scrub servers for sensitive information.

Earlier this month, the Information and Technology Services department sent out an e-mail notifying university web administrators that all fi les containing strings of nine digits – the natural form of Social Security numbers – had their access privileges revoked.

But for Grande and the more than 100,000 victims of these breaches, these education and fi le management initiatives may be too little, too late.

“They’re putting it back on the victims to protect themselves,” said Grande. “I think that education is important, I think everyone needs to be aware of how they can protect themselves.

“But they need to step forward and do the right thing.”

F R I DAY, N OV. 12 A student reported the theft of black backpack containing his wallet, identification and a phone valued at $100 from the Parking Structure. The student reported placing the backpack on the ground and leaving without it. When he returned roughly a half of an hour later, the backpack was missing.

W E D N E S DAY, N OV. 10 A student reported being sexually assaulted by a man she had met on the internet a few days prior. According to the Campus Security report, the two met for the first time in Waikīkī and later returned to the student’s dorm room for drinks. The student reported remembering feeling intoxicated before losing consciousness during the incident.

A student reported the theft of a gray Bianchi hybrid bicycle, valued at $400 including the surf rack, from the Hale Laulima bike rack. He reported locking the bike with a cable through the front wheel and frame.

Two “Pass with Care” road signs were confiscated from Hale Noelani. The owners of one sign claimed that the sign was a present from a friend, whom they could not remember, and the owner of the other sign claimed to have purchased the sign from a friend without realizing that possession of a road sign is illegal.

University helps students stop smoking JANE CALLAHAN Associate News Editor Despite general knowledge that smoking is dangerous, cigarette use is rising among the collegeage population. To address the problem, the Health Promotion Offi ce at UHM again sponsored their annual Great American Smokeout event yesterday.

“Smoke affects everyone, whether you smoke or not,” said Kristen Scholly, faculty advisor for the Student Health Advisory Council. “And anyone can come, whether you want to quit smoking or learn how to avoid second-hand smoke.” Second-hand smokers take in about 15 percent of a nearby cigarette, claiming 3,000 non-smoker lives a year.

The Great American Smokeout, conducted by the American Cancer Society for 35 years, focuses on overall health and wellness. Students learn about the dangers of smoking as well as the benefits of quit-

ting through interactive games and presentations.

In a study conducted by Harvard University in August, that included 119 colleges in the US, one third of college students said they had smoked cigarettes within the past four weeks, and one half had smoked within the last year.

“The goal is to get smokers to quit, or think about trying to quit,” said Scholly.

With KTUH providing music, about 500 people attended the event. Students were invited to move from booth to booth, where several organizations, such as the Quitline and the Coalition for a Tobacco Free Hawai‘i, offered giveaways and a chance to win an iPod Nano. Free nicotine lozenges were distributed for those wishing to ween themselves off the addictive drug.

Pop icon focuses public on prejudice ROBIN VAN A LLEN Contributing Writer Multi-platinum pop singer.

Songwriter.

Dancer.

Record producer. Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, more popularly known as Lady Gaga, wears many hats (and the occasional meat hat). Perhaps her most important role is the one she is passionately donning these days — a gay rights advocate.

Nobody can get attention like Lady Gaga. If she isn’t accepting a VMA (Video Music Award) in a raw meat dress, then the 24-year-old pop icon is getting fans to go gaga over her Kermit the Frog ensemble.

Digital Journal reported that Lady Gaga has surpassed President Barack Obama for the largest number of Facebook friends.

With 10 million “friends” on the social-networking site, Lady Gaga has set a new record for the most popular living person on Facebook.

Digital Journal also noted that Lady Gaga holds the record for the most-viewed video on YouTube.

Her video for “Bad Romance” has hit 291,911,360 views.

Whether you love or hate her, Lady Gaga knows how to create a buzz — a gift in her fight towards getting “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” (DADT) repealed.

President Bill Clinton introduced the bill in 1993. The bill promised that all citizens would be allowed to ser ve in the militar y without regard to sexual orientation, so long as the ap plicant did not reveal his or her sexual preference.

In an interview with Katie Couric, Former President Clinton expressed his support in repealing DA DT, calling the bill a compromise he regrets. “‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ was only adopted when both Houses of Congress had voted by a huge veto-proof margin to legislate

DADT, Lady Gaga spoke in front of 4,500 people on a small stage in Portland, Maine in an attempt to reach two swing-vote senators in the state. She proposed that a new law be created: an “If You Don’t Like It, Go Home” law, reported MTV. Despite all the public attention Lady Gaga garnered against what she called an unconstitutional law, it wasn’t enough to sway the vote.

Charles Djou, U.S. Representative from Hawai‘i’s first congressional district, was one of only five Republicans who voted to repeal DA DT, but his reason was that the policy was “unfair” because seemingly heterosexual soldiers can sign up for reenlistment bonuses, and get discharged while keeping the money after admitting they are homosexual.

Djou also opposed civil unions in Hawai‘i, saying residents did not support civil unions. However, Djou discovered what the majority thought on Nov. 2.

When our politicians and public figures refuse to stand up and speak out against prejudice, they perpetuate it.

With so many public figures willing to keep quiet about injustices in fear of damaging their THE CRANKY GEEK/ KA LEO O HAWAI‘I own careers, it’s refreshing that Lady Gaga is taking a stand and Lady Gaga has been a high-profile advocate for gay rights, zealously speaking fighting for gay rights. against the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy of the U.S. military.

While Lady Gaga gets the public to notice this important the absolute ban on gays in the Obama’s administration.

Much as A frican-Americans were once told to “wait” for their civil liberties, gays, lesbians and bisexuals are being forced to wait for theirs.

Few are as eloquent as King, and Lady Gaga is no exception, but her ability to raise awareness over her obvious passion for the cause and her uncanny gift for the outrageous and bizarre is sure to keep media attention on this unjust law for some time to come.

Warriors to clash with young Spartans

BRIAN TSENG/ KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Hawai‘i senior slot receiver Kealoha Pilares runs through the Idaho defense. Pilares is 16th nationally in total offense.

JOE F ERRER Senior Staff Reporter It will be youth versus experience this Saturday when the University of Hawai‘i Warriors host the San Jose State Spartans at Aloha Stadium. Kick-off is set for 5:30 p.m.

The SJSU football team is littered with young talent, starting 11 freshmen this season.

“We expect them to play tough. They’re a young team (but) we watched them on film and they play hard,” senior slot receiver Greg Salas said.

All of UH’s 22 starters are up-

perclassmen. The experienced Warriors have posted a 7-3 overall record and are 5-1 in the Western Athletic Conference.

UH was the first team in the country to accept a bowl invitation when they agreed to play in the Sheraton Hawai‘i bowl earlier this season.

The Spartans, however, have had growing pains. They are 1-9 overall and have the third-worst scoring offense out of the 120 teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision at 14.1 points per game.

“Record-wise, this may look like an easy win,” UH offensive coordinator Nick Rolovich said.

“But these guys are getting better every week.”

On the other end of the spectrum, Hawai‘i’s passing offense is the best in the country. It is led by junior quarterback Bryant Moniz, who leads the nation with 337.4 passing yards per game and 344.4 yards of total offense per game.

SJSU has faced some stiff competition this season. Half their opponents were ranked in the top 25.

Two of those teams were Alabama and Boise State, ranked No. 1 and No. 3 respectively at the time they played the Spartans.

Warriors from previous page

The Warriors remain focused despite San Jose State’s record.

“Anybody could beat anybody on any given day,” Rolovich said.

The young Spartans have come close this season but haven’t found a way to fi nish games. Of SJSU’s fi ve games against nonranked opponents, four have been decided by fi ve points or less. “ They are playing a lot of young guys. They’re a different team than when they started the year,” Rolovich said.

The two teams have played close games in the past few years.

The last three meetings between the schools have been decided by seven points or less and two of those games went into overtime.

Last year, Hawai‘i won 17-10, thanks to former Warrior running back Leon Wright-Jackson’s 5 -yard plunge into the end zone in overtime.

“We’ve grown the last few years to know that San Jose is not someone to be taken lightly,” Rolovich said.

The all-time series between the Warriors and the Spartans is 16-16-1.

FRIDAY, NOV. 19, 2010

JOE F ERRER Senior Staff Reporter

University of Hawai‘i slot receiver Greg Salas has been named a semifinalist for the Biletnikoff Award, given to college football’s best receiver.

“I’m very honored to receive this recognition,” Salas said. “But it’s a team effort, so I have to give thanks to my teammates.”

The senior from Chino, Calif., ranks second nationally with 124.6 receiving yards per game and is third nationally with 8.3 average receptions per game.

Salas is on pace to become UH all-time leading receiver, needing just 217 yards with three regular season games left and the Sheraton Hawai‘i Bowl on Dec. 24.

He would surpass former Warrior receiver Jason Rivers, who had 3,919 yards from 2003 to 2007.

“When you look at the guys he’s passing up - Ashley Lelie, Jason Rivers, Davone Bess … he’s put himself in an elite group,” offensive coordinator Nick Rolovich said.

Salas is also a big-play threat, posting 14 catches of 25 yards or more this season.

WAC moving east M ARC A R AK AKI Associate Sports Editor

With the departure of Boise State in 2011 and Fresno State and Nevada in 2012, the Western Athletic Conference was left with just six teams.

The wait to see who will fi ll the void is over.

WAC commissioner Karl Benson announced the addition of Texas State University, University of Texas San-Antonio and the University of Denver to the WAC effective July 1, 2012, last week.

The additions will bookend the WAC’s 50-year history.

“We are very confident that these three schools will play major roles in repositioning the WAC for its next 50 years,” Benson said in a press release.

Texas State is currently a member of the Southland Conference and is located in San Marcos, Texas. The Bobcats’ football team won the 2005 and 2008 Southland

Conference championship and the women’s volleyball team has qualified for the NCA A tournament the last two out of three seasons.

Texas San-Antonio, also a member of the Southland Conference, is a relatively new school, having opened in 1969. The Roadrunners, will field its first football team next season. They will play their home games in the 65,000 -seat Alamodome.

The Alamodome has hosted pro teams including the San Antonio Spurs of the National Basketball Association, the San Antonio Texans of the Canadian Football League as well as numerous NCA A basketball championships and the annual Alamo Bowl.

Both Texas State and Texas San-Antonio will be making the transition from the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) to the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) in 2012.

Salas from page 8

Salas’ best game this year came against Louisiana Tech where he had 10 catches for 197 yards and two touchdowns.

“His natural talent, his hard work and his playmaking abilities, combined with the confidence and execution of this offense,” Rolovich said when asked how Salas has experienced such success at UH. Other semifi nalists include Oklahoma State’s Justin Blackmon, Oklahoma’s Ryan Broyles, Kentucky’s Randall Cobb, Texas A&M’s Jeff Fuller, Georgia’s AJ Green, South Carolina’s Alshon Jeffery, Alabama’s Julio Jones, Southern Methodist University’s Aldrick Robinson and Western Michigan’s Jordan White.

The three fi nalists will be named on Monday, Nov. 22.

“On the football side, we believe strongly that Texas State and UTSA are well-prepared to make the move to FBS,” Benson said.

“Both have made significant investments in their football programs and we are confident that the Roadrunners and the Bobcats will have an immediate impact on the WAC and on the national football landscape.”

Finally, Denver, a member of the Sun Belt Conference, will become the first all-sports WAC member without a football team. The campus is located just nine miles away from the WAC headquarters.

“While the Denver Pioneers won’t be competing in football, they too have made significant investments in their overall

athletics program and facilities over the past ten years and will be ready from day one to compete for WAC championships in all the sports they sponsor,” Benson said.

In 2012, the WAC will be comprised of nine schools: Denver, Hawai‘i, Idaho, Louisiana Tech, New Mexico State, San Jose State, Texas San-Antonio, Texas State and Utah State.

Of course, that’s only if all the current teams remain.

Without Boise State, Nevada and Fresno State in the WAC, UH is also exploring its conference affiliation options.

Scenarios include moving all of its non-football sports to the Big West Conference, which is com-

prised of nine California schools, while football could remain in the WAC, move to another conference or go independent.

The Big West Conference Board of Directors announced this week that it voted to lift the membership moratorium, which has been in place since July 2005. According to the BWC website, “the Board’s action was taken following the development of a process for assessing possible new members.”

“We continue to explore the options that may be available to the University of Hawai‘i regarding our conference membership including staying in the WAC,” associate athletics director Carl Clapp said.

Choir concert mixes cultural voices M ICHAEL BREWER Associate Opinions Editor The sensuous voice of an ancient Greek lyricist; the soft, sultry St. Louis musings of an early 20th century poet; stately Baroque pomp; collections from Taiwan, Spain, and Hawaiiana; a Renaissance affair— poetry, beat, culture, language and style from around the world don’t normally mingle under one roof.

But Dr. Rachel Samet of the university’s choral department and two of the choirs she directs have a plan to bring it all together tonight at St. Andrew’s Cathedral.

Samet’s plan is simple: grab a

“I think all people sing. All people have, at least some point in their lives, done some singing. You know, singing happy birthday or singing a cheer at a game,” said choral director Rachel Samet. The choir will perform downtown at the St. Andrew’s Cathedral. collection of music, keep the playing field broad, train the two auditioned choirs of the University of Hawai‘i—Concert Choir and the Chamber Singers—to deliver the music, and welcome the public to a memorable concert event.

Why will people remember it?

Because it’s different. It’s music you’re not used to. It’s “very sensual music. Very challenging. But it’s just very beautiful, just really exquistely beautiful,” said Samet.

Because of audience limitations, including the fact that some people are unaccustomed to choral performances, Samet chose to include a wide assortment of songs. “There’s something for everybody in this concert,” she said. “It runs the gamut from music that’s very sacred to very sensual to music that will make you want to get up and dance.”

The thing holding it all together is that it’s inspired by women.

It’s a concert for the senses: the title of the concert is “The Garden of Venus,” and the poster says it will offer “tempting musical treats.”

What does a “Garden of Venus” sound like? The Greek lyricist mentioned before refers to Sappho, one of the most influential lyrical poets of antiquity. Written on a Greek epigram to Plato are the words, “Some say the Muses are nine: how careless! Look, there’s Sappho too, from Lesbos, the tenth.”

The St. Louis poet is Sara Teasdale, a frail woman who, vexed by her sickliness and her appreciation for beauty (which shines in her work), took her life at the age of 48.

Ildebrando Pizzetti’s “Due Composizioni Corali” will be performed, a testament to early twentieth century Italian lyricism.

Other perfomances will include the work of Fanny Mendelssohn (wife of the famous Felix), George Frederic Handel, Chen Yi and Arvo Pärt.

Check it out at 7:30 p.m. at St. Andrew’s Cathedral.
