Words at M ānoa No Ka Lahui Hawai‘i Review’s sixth annual creative writing conference focuses on indigenous issues COURTESY OF HAWA‘I REVIEW AND ENGLISH DEPARTMENT
Māhealani Ahia, editor-in-chief of Hawaii Review, says the theme of “No Ka Lahui” was inspired by the song “Kū Ha‘aheo E Ku‘u Hawai‘ i” by Kumu Hina Wong-Kalu.
Hawai‘i Review and the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Creative Writing Program held its sixth annual Words at Mānoa creative writing conference on Oct. 19. This year’s conference featured a range of workshops including bookbinding, slam poetry and pacific theater.

the Thirty Meter Telescope, the editorial board of Hawai‘i Review felt it was pertinent that this year’s conference reflected the situation on Maunakea. Their message ‘No Ka Lahui’ roughly translates to ‘for the people.’ According to members of Hawai‘i Review’s editorial board, this year’s Words at Mānoa was about empowering indigenous people’s voices and providing a platform for sharing their messages. “I think this year’s Words at Mānoa is just really in response to what’s been happening politically and socially in regards to Maunakea,” Hawai‘i Review editorial board mem-
ber Tina Togafau said. “Because of who our editorial board is, we felt it was so important and imperative that we responded in some kind of way.” With the idea of indigenous issues in mind, editor-in-chief of Hawai‘i Review Māhealani Ahia shared that many of the workshop leaders and artists they invited were Hawaiian or of other indigenous ancestries. “This is the first time that we’ve done kānaka maoli (Native Hawaiian) centered offerings,” she said. “We’re talking about the building of our nation, the rising of our voices.” While Words at Mānoa has always served to help students and commu-
nity members develop their creative writing skills and hone their craft, according to Ahia, the real importance of the conference is in providing resources to empower students and community members. “The most important thing with creative writing and our conference is to help students and community members build their craft and develop their voices,” she said. Whether it be through theater, slam poetry, spoken word or podcasting, Ahia hopes that students and community members will be able to use these resources to speak on issues important to them.

The Pi Gamma Mu International Honor Society in Social Sciences is hosting a brand new October exclusive social event called “Wicked Wednesdays,” with this year’s theme being Harry Potter. Everyone is welcome to join Wicked Wednesdays at Dean Hall Rooms 5/6 on Oct. 23 and Oct. 30. Those who attend can participate in activities for the first half of the event, followed by a horror movie viewing for the second half. PGM will also award prizes for the competitions that will take place during the event. Shalina Prescott, a University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa graduate student in economics and ethnic studies and current PGM treasurer, said that PGM’s purpose in hosting the Wicked Wednesdays is to bring together not only fellow members of PGM, but to invite other students in the College of Social Sciences so that they may come together and make new connections through these social events. “It’s a really great opportunity for members to come in, for the connections and networking, as well as giving back to the communities that have helped us so much,” Prescott said. There are a number of benefits for
those interested in obtaining PGM membership, such as exclusive scholarship and job opportunities, internships, job shadowing, networking opportunities and invitations to off-island conferences. PGM membership is also lifelong, meaning members can still benefit from scholarships or letters of recommendation well into graduate school and beyond. In order to join PGM, students must be invited or petition to join once they are a junior, senior or graduate student in the upper 35% of the class, have at least 20 semester hours in social sciences, and an average grade of B or higher. For those worried about joining multiple honor societies, PGM is an interdisciplinary honor society in social sciences, independent from departmental honor societies. MORE INFO

Why breast self-exams are important KAILANIANNA ABLOG / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
The American Cancer Society states that possible symptoms of breast cancer include skin dimpling, nipple discharge and swollen lymph nodes. TAMARA GOEBBERT CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Interested in becoming a journalist? There is an effort underway to draw more people to the journalism major at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, including by making it easier to declare. The program also seeks to reimagine its curriculum to incorporate more of a historical context in a bid to help aspiring journalists better understand the media landscape. Brett Oppegaard, undergraduate chair of the journalism program, said that the curriculum change is aimed at giving students a greater grasp of the influence, impact and importance of journalism in a democracy at a time when journalism is under attack in the United States. “It’s one of those things where students don’t have the historical context to understand how bizarre this is,” Oppegaard said. “It’s all new, wild and scary. If we aren’t training new journalists, our democracy would be doomed.” Over time, journalism has become an endangered profession to the extent that ethical storytelling could become a thing of the past. It’s becoming harder for consumers to distinguish between fabricated news and the truth. Journalism professor Ann Auman encourages her classes to be more creative in finding ways to appeal to diverse audiences. But, she added, the basics still apply: Journalists need to follow ethical guidelines and work hard to fact check their sources. “That’s where credibility is,” Auman said. “It’s because you follow a code of ethics and that’s what makes you a journalist ... different from all the other communicators, opinion makers and commentators on social media.” Nationally, some journalism programs are seeing spikes in enrollment. UH Mānoa hasn’t seen that, Oppegaard said, but there are efforts underway to encourage
more students to consider a journalism major. These efforts include allowing students to enroll in the journalism program as soon as they get to UH Mānoa. Previously, students needed to take several journalism courses and pass with a C or better in order to be officially enrolled in the program. “We just loosened up the requirements,” Auman said. “You can apply to be a major as soon as you arrive into the journalism program. We thought it would be better if we encouraged the students to come in earlier, remove some of the gates.” Auman said she believes that the “Trumpffect” is driving Hawai‘ i students away from pursuing journalism to instead enroll in communications or English. “I don’t think a lot of people agree with him ... young people, too,” Auman said. “And they’re going into journalism to try to set the record straight ... (coming) up with creative different ways of stopping the false narrative.” Sophomore Hannah LaPack says that rhetoric around “fake news” and attacks on journalists is discouraging, but is also what drives her to excel. “I wholeheartedly want to pursue journalism,” she said. “I love writing and I’m very passionate about a lot of things. I watch videos of all the plastic in the ocean or how our president acts about certain topics and it’s just so frustrating. People aren’t doing enough about it so I want to contribute in any way that I can.” LaPack said trust in U.S. journalists may be low, but the need for strong journalism has never been greater. “Everyone’s like, ‘Oh, journalism is such a negative thing,’ and a lot of people don’t want to do negative things with their life,” she said. “I think a lot of people go into journalism because they want to try and fix things and make things better.” Ka Leo O Hawai‘i
KAILANIANNA ABLOG OPINIONS EDITOR
When I came home from the shooting range, I did not expect to bring the battle home with me. It was my junior year of high school, at the peak of my JROTC career. I was the company commander of an all-female company operating through Saint Louis School’s JROTC program. Aside from weekly physical training exercises, I always looked forward to monthly classes at the on-campus range; shooting paper targets with wooden rifles did a lot to sate my teenage angst. But no amount of bullseyes could have prepared me for one of the most challenging times of my life. It had been about six months since my last breast self-exam. High school had gotten busy with extracurriculars and college prep, so I neglected to check regularly. According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, self-exams are one way to detect breast cancer. In fact, “Forty percent of diagnosed breast cancers are detected by women who feel a lump.” The John Hopkins Medical Center advises that women conduct a self-exam at least once every month. After showering, I began my selfexam. The National Breast Cancer Foundation states that one can perform an exam in front of a mirror, in the shower or while laying down, moving their fingers in a circular motion from the outside of the armpit to the center of the breast to feel for any lumps. I was almost done checking when I felt it, a firm mass beneath my fingertips. My first thought was cancer. Up to that moment, I only had indirect contact with the disease: volunteering and participating in the Susan G. Komen “Race for The Cure” and having aunts diagnosed with breast cancer, some of whom died from it. According to breastcancer.org, one in eight women and one in
883 men will develop breast cancer over their lifetimes. It is also the most commonly diagnosed cancer among American women besides skin cancer. The next day, I told my parents about my lump. Within two weeks, I was at the doctor’s office. While filling out paperwork, I learned from my mother that my great grandmother had breast cancer. My concern increased tenfold.
ery a short while later and was home within five hours. I could not shower for three days and had to wear a wrap around my chest, which was not too difficult to hide beneath my high school uniform. About two weeks after the lumpectomy, I went to the doctor’s again to make sure I was healing properly. They revealed then that my mass was a benign tumor known as fibroadenoma.

After the doctor performed a physical exam, I was given three options: leave the mass alone (since no other symptoms of breast cancer had manifested), get a biopsy to determine malignancy, or a lumpectomy to remove the lump. The thought of going about my days with a lump in my breast did not sit well with me, nor did receiving a biopsy. If a biopsy concluded the mass was benign, I would still need to choose between keeping or removing it. So I chose to get a lumpectomy. Operation day was Feb. 1, 2016. I was checked in early in the morning, my three parents (mother, biological father and stepfather) there for moral support. My close friends sent messages of encouragement, saying they loved me. Fear was not the primary emotion I felt that day; it was determination. I was not afraid of cancer nor death. I was ready to fight if I needed to. I was only 17 at the time; I still had goals and milestones to reach. The lumpectomy went by in a blur; they poked me with an IV needle and gave me sedatives and anesthesia. I went under before the surgeon told me to count down from 10. I woke up in recov-
According to breastcancer.org, fibroadenoma is the most common type of benign breast tumor and, while affecting women of all ages, usually occurs in younger, premenopausal women. The site describes it as typically having “a well-defined round or oval shape and a rubbery-feeling and is painless.” In some cases, the tumor will shrink and disappear, while in others it can grow. This type of tumor is not associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. This experience reiterated the importance of maintaining health. I was lucky that my lump was benign, but the same cannot always be said for others. Regardless of genetic dispositions, we are ultimately in charge of how we take care of ourselves. Understanding your family’s health history can aid in making health and lifestyle choices that may lower disease risk. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. While we may not be able to fully prevent cancer from forming, we can take steps to lower risk and stop it in its early stages. For breast cancer, it can start with a simple self-exam.

COVER STORY
THE STAN SHERIFF CENTER TURNS
ALEXANDER WONG / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
The Stan Sheriff Center was originally called the “Special Events Arena” in 1994. JONATHAN CHEN SPORTS EDITOR
One of the most visible buildings here on campus at the University of Hawai‘ i can now legally rent a car in the United States. A landmark in and of itself, Hawai‘i’s Stan Sheriff Center celebrated its 25th birthday on Monday, Oct. 21. HISTORY OF THE STAN SHERIFF CENTER
After nearly four years of planning, construction of the stadium began in the spring of 1993. Understandably, the project created plenty of buzz within the community. “The arena will create a more college-type atmosphere,” then-basketball head coach Riley Wallace told Ka Leo in 1993. “More sports can have home games on campus.” Considered by many, both then and now, to be the jewel of the UH athletics program, the Stan Sheriff Center first opened its doors in 1994. After 21 years at the Klum Gym, the men and women’s volleyball teams and the women’s basketball team made the new venue, then known as the Special Events Arena, their new home starting with the 1994 season. They were joined by the men’s basketball team, who had previously called the Blaisdell Center home. Then-assistant athletic director Marilyn Moniz-Kaho‘ohanohano agreed with Wallace’s sentiment about the arena. “By the end of the first year, we could set attendance records for both volleyball teams, and for women’s basketball,” Moniz-Kaho‘ohanohano said in a 1993 interview with Ka Leo. Her prediction ultimately proved to be true, perhaps more quickly than anyone had ever expected. On Oct. 21, 1994, the Rainbow Wahine volleyball team became the first team to compete in an official match at the new arena. “It was a great honor for women’s volleyball to open the arena,” legendary former volleyball head coach Dave Shoji said. “There was some talk about them waiting for men’s basketball. But the athletic director decided to go with us because the arena was ready to go in October. So
we got the honor to open it. We were very honored that they would let us do that.” Throughout the community, there were early concerns about the Wahine’s ability to fill the arena after playing in the limited Klum Gym for so long. One of those who voiced their concerns was Dave Shoji. “Originally, it was documented that I thought they should be building a smaller arena alongside the SSC for women’s athletics,” Shoji said. “I thought 4,000 seats would be adequate.” However, those concerns were quickly put to bed on opening night. “After we found out we were going to open there, and the ticket sales started to happen, it was pretty apparent it was going to be sold out,” Shoji said. “People wanted to be in the arena on that first night. It was just something we anticipated, and we were nervous about it. But again, we were very honored to be able to do that.” In front of a sold out crowd of 10,031 on that very first night in the arena, the Rainbow Wahine christened the venue in style, sweeping the San Jose State Spartans. With an aloha ball opportunity to cap off the victory, 10,031 fans stood up on their feet and shook the arena as Angelica Ljungqvist served up an ace to finish off the Spartans. Ljungqvist, now an associate coach with the current edition of the Rainbow Wahine volleyball team, recalled that opening night game. “It’s one of my best volleyball memories of all time, hands down,” Ljungqvist said. “It was such a special night, because we were the first team that got to be in there. We got to walk out to a packed arena. There were all these festivities and celebrations before, so we got to run out in front of 10,000 people. We always had good crowds, but it usually slowly fills up heading into the game. This time, we got to run out of the tunnel in front of a packed arena. It was amazing. It was great atmosphere. We ended up playing really well that game, I want to remember. It was very special to be a part of that.” The sellout crowd at that first game proved to be no fluke. The
fans continued to pack the arena to watch their Wahine compete. “The arena actually helped boost our program in the sense that there are more people able to watch and more people exposed to volleyball,” Shoji said. “It was a boon to women’s volleyball that we were able to put so many people in the arena. At first it was the newness of it, people just wanted to be in there. But then, off of that, we developed a loyal following over the years.” The spotlight cast on the athletic program by the new arena was one of the many visions of former athletic director Stan Sheriff. The project’s most vocal supporter, Sheriff lobbied and fought adamantly for the construction of the venue. “We all give a lot of credit to Stan for pushing for this arena,” Shoji said. “There was a lot of opposition, and of course the cost was the main thing. But he knew we needed to have a first-class arena if we wanted to be visible to the community and across the country. He fought tooth and nail for this, spending a lot of time down in Legislature, talking to people. Also raising money for it. He was definitely the driving force behind the building of the arena.” Unfortunately, Sheriff never had a chance to see the fruits of his hard work. On Jan. 16, 1993, at age 60, Stan Sheriff passed away after suffering a heart attack at Honolulu International Airport. His efforts were never forgotten however. In 1998, the decision was made to rename the arena after him, becoming the Stan Sheriff Center we know today. “I was very pleased that the people in charge wanted to honor him that way,” arena manager Richard Sheriff said. “I knew how hard he had worked to make the Stan Sheriff Center a reality on campus. Obviously, something of this magnitude can’t be done by one man, but I think they recognized his efforts and how hard he pushed to get something that would be usable for our sports programs and the university.” Usable would prove to be an understatement. Under the management of Richard Sheriff, the youngest son of Stan Sheriff, the
arena went on to host events such as NCAA Volleyball Championships, NBA preseason camps and even the Miss Universe Pageant. “We get so much exposure from the mainland, and I think it’s invaluable to get our venue out on TVs across the country,” Richard Sheriff said. “You’ve got hours of viewing from people sitting at home in places like the east coast, midwest, and upper northwest, where it’s -50 degrees or -20 degrees outside, and they’re seeing the sunny beaches of Hawai‘i on TV. I think that’s worth quite a bit to the state and to the university.” The arena has become a vital part of the UH athletic identity. The facility certainly helps to provide a boost for the many athletes and coaches that roam its halls. “It’s that old adage of ‘look like a champion, play like a champion,’” Wahine basketball coach Laura Beeman said. “We have a championship level arena. It is visible not only from campus but on the highway and from the air. It’s one of the things that visitors see also. When you walk into an arena that has that feel, it helps you step into any environment and succeed. It gives you an added confidence.” The Stan Sheriff Center continues to be a pillar in the UH athletics community. In recent years, men’s volleyball at the arena has led the nation in accumulated attendance 5 years in a row. The SSC also remains the second largest women’s volleyball arena in the NCAA to this day, as well as fourth largest men’s volleyball venue. “Every time I see 10,300 fans at the arena going crazy, it puts a smile on my face,” Richard Sheriff said. “It really is a testament to the vision my dad had.” SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STAN SHERIFF CENTER
Throughout its 25 year run, the significance of the venue has not been lost on those involved in the athletic program. Coaches, players and other staff members alike recognize what the Stan Sheriff Center stands for. “The first full year of the Stan Sheriff Center was my first full year working at the University of Hawai‘i, with
the women’s volleyball program in 1995,” men’s volleyball coach Charlie Wade said. “I’ve been here for most of its life. It is, for volleyball in this country, the mecca. There are players, men and women all over the planet that their fondest memories of playing collegiate volleyball are in the Stan Sheriff Center in front of our fans.” “I’ve always referred to it as the crown jewel of Hawai‘i,” men’s basketball head coach Eran Ganot said. “It’s certainly the best arena in our league and I think it’s the best in the west. At times, it rivals any other arena in the country when it can be electric like that. Our four arena teams are very fortunate to play there.” “I think that it has a certain spirituality, and it’s a significant example of the volleyball culture here, and those who support our teams, each and every one of our athletic teams that compete in there,” men’s volleyball player Colton Cowell said. “We have a special group of fans, and it is truly the best place to play volleyball in the world. There isn’t another arena I’ve ever visited nor seen on TV broadcast that resembles it or compares to it.” Ljungqvist, along with Wahine volleyball head coach Robyn Ah Mow, has the unique perspective of being part of both the team that christened the stadium and the one that celebrated its 25th year. “To be part of that is very special,” Ljungqvist said. “We were part of that first team to play in there, and now we get to celebrate the anniversary, both coach Robyn and myself. It’s truly special to be a part of.” Richard Sheriff, who has managed the arena since its opening in 1994, reflects on the SSC’s continued significance to the UH community. “I think my dad would be very proud,” Sheriff said. “Not from a standpoint of ‘I told you so,’ but as ‘It’s great for our programs.’ It’s allowed them to recruit better, have more fans at their games, and even host graduation twice a year. From a university standpoint, it’s really one of the gems here on campus.”
