CHRISTINA YAN / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

Special Issues Editor Christina Yan and students Valerie Kan and Jessica Thawley attend a tailgate.

This year's Homecoming game will be the 107th celebration of a tradition long held by our university. For some of us, this will be the first college football homecoming we have experienced. This year is a game changer. This year is the first time Nick Rolovich, our new head coach, will be leading us to potential victory. This year, we might change our record during the reign of He-Who-Must-Not-BeNamed and change not only how our school views our team, but how the entire division views our team.

Who knows? Miracles can happen.

Hawai‘i has a long love-hate rela-

tionship with the state of Nevada.

Vegas for many of Hawai‘i residents is paradise. For decades, nearly a quarter million of Hawai‘i resident make the five hour flight every single year. Our first intercollegiate game was against Nevada and we will be continuing the tradition this weekend playing UNLV. But I digress, this issue is not only about the game itself, but about how we, as students, can celebrate whether we win or not. Whether you only stay for the tailgate or you stay for the entire duration of the game, this guide is here to help provide you with some guidelines on how

to spend your day at Aloha Stadium.

When Hawai‘i was featured on Snapchat, many questioned what a Rainbow Warrior was. Well we looked into it for you, so no need to Google it. Check out page 5 for our origin story. If you know nothing but the absolute basics of football like I do, go to page 18 for football jargon to try to impress your friends during the game.

If you and your friends are wondering how to get to the game all the way at Aloha Stadium, find different options on page 8 and while you are there, look into our tailgating guide.

Trying to get into the school spirit by

dressing up in all your UH gear? Look to page 10 for a variety of stores to cover your needs.

So, go and get ready for the game! Listen to our playlist on page 18, get lit, and cheer on our team this Saturday. No matter what happens at the Homecoming game, this year for the Rainbow Warriors is a year of change that we can all get behind.

Go ‘Bows!

Goodbye, Pepsi UH Mānoa replaced Pepsi with Coca-Cola this fall

BROOKE ALCURAN / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

Nationwide, Coca-Cola and Pepsi are the two largest soft drink companies and sign contracts to secure marketshare.

TERESA RUAN INTERN

As of Aug. 12, 2016, Coca-Cola is now the official soda of the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa.

Pepsi’s contract was in its last year at UH Mānoa, said UH spokesperson Dan Meisenzahl. This prompted UH Mānoa to end its 26-year relationship with Pepsi and to bring back Coca-Cola to campus.

UH Mānoa signed a seven-year contract with Coca-Cola which will be effective through June 2023.

Meisenzahl said UH Mānoa has had several agreements with Pepsi in past years. UH Mānoa’s most recent contract with Pepsi was a seven-year contract for beverage rights and vending, which was in July 2009.

Coca-Cola will pay UH Mānoa an annual payment of $367,000 each year over the course of the contract. The university will receive a 40 percent commission on vending machine sales.

Coca-Cola will also become a Diamond Corporate Partner to UH

Athletics at UH Mānoa. Corporate partners will have the opportunity to align with the UH Athletics Department on marketing, advertising, promotions and branding initiatives. The Athletics department will be receiving $150,000 every year from the company.

The manager of the Food Services, Andy Lachman, said an exclusive contract would guarantee revenues for UH Mānoa annually. The revenue from the vending machine commissions will contribute to UH departments, like Cam-

pus Center, Student Housing and UH Athletics.

Though the contract is exclusive, some mix of products can be found on campus. The contract allows 20 percent of the bottled and canned beverages sold on campus and some convenience stores to be non-contracted beverage products.

The switch included swapping out vending machines and restocking the food courts.

Sixty-eight of the Pepsi vending machines has been switched to CocaCola on campus, and one more that

is still coming to the Art Building.

“We are still in the transition of the Pepsi going out and Coca-Cola being installed,” said Donna Ojiri, the general manager at Mānoa Dining Services. “We still have not changed out the Pepsi fountain at Hale Aloha [Café] yet, but it is scheduled to be changed out next week.”

Meisenzahl said Food Services conducted a survey of campus stakeholders (students, faculty and staff ) every year and have consistently received feedback that Coca-Cola is a more popular choice among many of the customers at UH Mānoa.

“In the long run, if I have to choose between Coca-Cola and Pepsi, it is definitely Coke products. But I guess I will miss Pepsi,” said Jennifer Nakasone, a senior student who is majoring in communication.

The battle between the two companies is not just in UH Mānoa.

They have been competing in many campuses across the nation too.

There are about 80 percent of public schools that have contracts with Coca-Cola or Pepsi, according to a survey that was done in 2005.

“As a student, I don’t really mind if UH is switching from Pepsi to Coke.

Personally, I am a fan of Coca-Cola than Pepsi, mainly because I think Pepsi is a bit sweeter," said Roxie Kamoshida, a senior student who is majoring in plant and environmental protection sciences at UH Mānoa.

What do you think?

Let us know @KaLeoOHawaii

Is UH prepared for an active shooter?

How safe do you feel on campus?

NICOLE TAM SENIOR STAFF WRITER

Around 9 a.m. on Sept. 8, sophomore Rikio Kaya was in class at the Business Administration building when he saw an email from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Department of Public Safety (DPS) about a possible armed gunman on campus.

He said his parents called him multiple times to make sure he was safe but his perspective on the incident was just to stay calm with limited information.

“I think UH does a really good job at notifying us about the things that happen [on campus],” Kaya said.

12 days later, on Sept. 20, DPS sent out another alert about a shooting suspect seen around the Mānoa area.

Both situations were contained and there were no casualties. But what does UH Mānoa actually do to prepare for an active shooter or other security threats and keep people safe?

EVACUATION PROCEDURES

Sarah Rice, Community Programs Manager for DPS at UH Mānoa, said DPS works with the Honolulu Police

Department (HPD) to determine whether or not the Mānoa campus needs to be evacuated.

She said factors that determine if an evacuation is necessary include time of day, time of year, how many suspects and the location of incident. Michelle Yu, spokeswoman for HPD, added that the suspect’s history or background are also considered factors.

Depending on the situation, either UH, HPD or both could initiate an evacuation.

Rice said in a situation where the suspect’s location is unknown, evacuation could sometimes create additional targets and casualties.

1-2-3

Rice recommended three resources provided by DPS for members at the university to better prepare and stay informed regarding possible active shooter situations: active shooter awareness and response training, UH alerts and the Mānoa Guardian app.

Since November 2015, Rice said DPS has conducted 80 two-hour active shooter training sessions to thousands of people. Regular open-sessions are once a month

on-campus, but private sessions are available.

Two trained DPS officers conduct the sessions, but according to Rice, the department is constantly updating content in training based on new published statistics and information.

Some content in the program is adapted from the Department of Homeland Security's ‘run-hidefight’ technique.

Rice said there are also hands-on activities with officers within the training, part of which comes from the Alert-Lockdown-Inform-Counter-Evacuate (ALICE) active shooter program, a program designed to prepare organizations prepare for an active shooter event.

She said the DPS sessions have been consistently full and have not seen a drastic increase in participation since the two alerts were sent out earlier this month.

“The training is really what we recommend because it gives people the opportunity to interact with our officers,” Rice said.

A second resource is to sign up for UH text alerts, which is not the same as the email system. However, not

many students are signed up for it.

Rice said this is because students think they are signing up for automatic subscriptions from the email system.

She said, unlike the email alerts that send out a notification for a moped theft, the text system only sends out alerts for immediate safety threats.

To sign up, go to hawaii.edu/ alert/, sign into your UH username and select regions or islands of where you would like to receive text emergency alerts.

“It’s such a small time investment for the reward you get out of it,” Rice said.

The third resource is the Mānoa Guardian app, a virtual personal safety network, available on the iPhone and Android.

The app allows users to communicate with the DPS dispatch with a text or photo. There is also a safety timer feature that notifies selected people from the user’s network to inform their location and safety status. If the user does not deactivate the time, the app automatically notifies DPS for a response.

Origins of the Rainbow Warrior

The early history of the UHM M football program JARIN MORIGUCHI / ASSOCIATE OPINIONS EDITOR

Whether you are a football enthusiast or just want to show your school spirit, we will get you up to speed on the first few generations of the university’s football team.

GABRIEL ESTEVEZ / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

The Rainbow Warrior nickname stems from the fundraising organization 'Ahahui Koa Avenue - The Order of the Rainbow Warrior.

The Fighting Deans

The 1960s and 70s

The first game of the College of Hawai‘i football team was played against McKinley High School in 1909 where the then Fighting Deans won. The team started out its career playing against local high schools and club teams because of traveling restrictions. Otto Klum led the Hawai‘i football team from 1921, one year after the first intercollegiate game that the team played. He also led the team to one of its most successful campaigns in the history of UH football.

In 1923, the football team was nicknamed the Rainbows because of the belief that whenever a rainbow appeared at UH, the team could not lose. Under Klum’s leadership, the Hawai‘i team enjoyed two consecutive undefeated seasons in 1924-25.

Football returned to the university only one year later, and its first season was played with an all-collegiate schedule. In 1973, the Rainbows performed well, ranked No. 5 for a portion of the Division II season. The team was also re-nicknamed the Rainbow Warriors by former coach Larry Price in 1975. That same year, UH played its first game in the brand new Aloha Stadium.

World War II and the abolishment of the football program Klum ended his football coaching career in 1940 after a long period of success and development for the UH team. From 1941, UH did not play any more games because of Pearl Harbor and World War II. The UH football team returned to the field in 1946 and continued to play until the program was shut down due to a lack of funding in 1961.

UH ATHLETICS LOGOS

THE RAINBOW (1982 - 2000)

Historic UH football stars The football program at the University of Hawai‘i has developed star talent over the past country. Sports stars from the likes of Thomas Kaulukukui, who helped the team accomplish an undefeated campaign in 1934, to the United Press International honorable mention All-American, Harry “Clown” Kahuanui in the late 40s, helped to rally the people of Hawai‘i behind the UH Rainbow Warriors.

THE NEW LOGO (2000 - PRESENT)

The UH football team has been built upon a rich history, and has experienced times of success and failure. The Rainbow Warriors continue to represent Hawai‘i in collegiate athletics.

HOMECOMING HOPEFULS This year's game has a special meaning to UH players and coaches alike RASHAWN WONG STAFF WRITER

Although homecoming might not share the same glamour at the college level as it does in high school, that does not mean the significance of a Rainbow Warrior homecoming weekend is lost on its players.

“Homecoming to us means a lot.

The ability to play in front of our home stadium and represent for the state of Hawai'i is what it’s all about,” said junior wide receiver Ammon Barker. “A lot of the times we play one of our toughest opponents during Homecoming, so it’s a way for us to show our fans we are ready to make a change around here. It would be the first (win) I’ve been a part of here at UH. It would mean the world to me, the seniors

in this program deserve it.”

As a former quarterback and assistant coach for the ‘Bows, first year head coach Nick Rolovich is no stranger to special moments at Aloha Stadium. He has a coaching staff with a fair amount of former UH players. Secondary coach Abraham Elimimian, offensive coordinator Brian Smith and quarterback coach/passing game coordinator Craig Stutzmann all suited up for the Warriors themselves.

“With homecoming on the horizon I think the alumni are excited, which will make it very special. It is all about the alumni, former players, and former students to be proud of Hawai'i,” said Rolovich. “That’s one of the great things about the college football atmosphere and that’s what’s special about Hawai'i. It’s fun

The ‘Bows have not won a homecoming game since 2011, a 45-34 victory over New Mexico State. Like last year, this year’s homecoming puts the ‘Bows in prime position to turn their season around.

Homecoming: A potential morale booster GABRIEL ESTEVEZ / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

Homecoming celebrations have been around since 1910.

KEVIN HARRISON NEWS EDITOR

Homecoming is approaching, but football game attendance is low.

Why should we care?

Even though homecoming may not

be that popular at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, it can still serve an important role as a morale and pride booster, but only if students put in the effort to turn it into one.

Our football team can benefit from student spirit and sup-

port. Seeing their classmates in the stands cheering for them can give the football team the motivation they need to possibly win the game.

That motivation could even stick with them for later games.

UH Mānoa also has a new head

coach, Nick Rolovich, and this coach could benefit from school spirit.

Some people are hopeful about this new coach and it might help motivate him if he sees students show up to the game and watch his coaching at work.

Showing up to football games boosts the team’s morale, but how will this boost student morale and pride?

There is no guarantee as to how effective homecoming will be at accomplishing improved team and crowd morale. However, the larger the group of students attending games, the more energy.

It may be easier to support a team with a stellar season record that is made up of future NFL players, but every team deserves at least some support from their school; homecoming is an opportunity to do just that.

This homecoming can be a rallying event for our football, it can be a place where school pride and spirit can be rejuvenated – even if only a little. If we want to bring out more pride and spirit, we have to put in the effort as a student body.

If you think that students at UH Mānoa do not have enough school spirit or pride, this might be your opportunity to inspire some in them. Make them go to the game, tailgate, wear a UH shirt or just cheer; this game can be a morale booster for the student body if we make it one.

Keep your Rainbow Warrior spirit up before, during and after the homecoming game

PRE-GAME Similar to the football team warming up and receiving a pep talk from Coach Nick Rolovich, a Warrior fan needs to prepare before the big game. Homecoming is the time to go all out with showcasing your UH pride.

DECKED OUT IN WARRIOR GEAR

Don’t have a UH shirt? No problem. The bookstore never goes out of stock. If you are on a budget and running out of time, run to your nearest clothing store, like Wal-Mart, and they may have them hanging on the rack. See page 10 for more options.

GET YOUR PAINT ON

Make the most of your homecoming outfit by adding face paint. This is a quick and easy way to show UH pride, whether it be simple black lines below the eyes or a full-faced green and white mask.

You can buy face paint at any convenience store, or you can use some acrylic paint lying around the house. But be warned: leaving the acrylic paint on for

It is homecoming week and the campus is buzzing with school spirit – students bust out their UH apparel, ready to cheer on the Rainbow Warriors. The University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Rainbow Warriors will go head to head against the University of Nevada Las Vegas Rebels on Saturday, Oct. 15. Be prepared to take on homecoming like a pro with these tips.

DURING THE GAME

too long can leave sun tan lines.

ARRIVE IN (ANY) STYLE

There are a number of ways to get to the Aloha Stadium in time for the game.

Those who have a car can drive through Gate 4 on Salt Lake Boulevard and find parking at the Aloha Stadium. The first 75 student vehicles with two passengers can park for free. If not, it’s $10 to park.

The university also offers a bus service to students to take them to the Aloha Stadium. The bus will pick up them up two hours before the game on Kalele Road, closest to the dorms, and will drop them off at Frear Hall on Dole Street.

Just show your valid student UH ID and hop on board. Seats are first-come, firstserve. For more information on transportation, visit the UH Athletics’s website and read page 8 for more ways to get to Aloha Stadium.

Lose your voice in the crowd – literally.

During the game, make sure to cheer for the Rainbow Warriors to beat the Rebels. If it is a good game, the crowd will be swarming with hooting fans.

The buzz of the crowd is sure to sweep you off your feet, whether it is cheering during a touchdown or calling out the referee during a bad call.

Make sure you are heard by screaming so loud you start to lose your voice.

PLAY THE FIELD

Participate during the game with fan activities on the field. The game offers a pre-game field goal kick, a halftime contest and quarterback challenge in between the third and fourth quarters.

Each activity offers an array of prizes, from a gift bag to a trip for two to Las Vegas with Vacations Hawaii. Those interested can visit the UH Athletics’s page to sign up.

POST-GAME CELEBRATE WITH A FAST-FOOD FEAST

If the Rainbow Warriors win the game, fans can celebrate with some fast-food.

If the Rainbow Warriors score at least two touchdowns, you can bring your ticket stub to Jack-In-The-Box for two free tacos.

Fans can also satisfy their burger cravings at a McDonald’s during their Big Mac Monday. Customers who buy a Big Mac Meal can receive another one for free through a promotion running until Nov. 28. Whether it is a homecoming win or loss, UH Mānoa fans will have a way to celebrate.

KA LEO O HAWAI‘I: THE VOICE OF HAWAI‘I

Don’t miss a game this season

JARIN MORIGUCHI / ASSOCIATE OPINIONS EDITOR

Football season has started and homecoming is here. Be sure to get to Aloha Stadium to support the Rainbow Warriors. Whether you are driving with friends or pedalling on two wheels, here are a few different ways to get there so you catch the action.

Five ways to get to Aloha Stadium

DRIVING

SHUTTLE

BUS

UBER/LYFT

BIKE

One way to get to Aloha Stadium from the UH Mānoa campus is by driving. Carpool with a friend to save on parking and make the most of the car ride to Salt Lake. According to Google Maps, it takes around 18 minutes without traffic on the H1. Be sure to leave a little earlier around 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., to account for rush-hour traffic.

UH Mānoa provides a bus service to take students to and from home games at Aloha Stadium. The Hawai‘i Athletics website states that, “buses will depart from campus two hours before game time from lower campus on Kalele Road, near the football and soccer practice fields. All buses will return to campus after each bus is filled up at the conclusion of the game. Drop-off will occur near Frear Hall near the intersection of Dole Street and East-West Road.” All you need is a valid UH Mānoa ID card to utilize this service.

Google Maps and DaBus are the most handy apps for bus riders.

Most students are able to take the bus using their Mānoa One card, so do not forget to have that on you when you head to the game. It takes a little over an hour without traffic, to get to the stadium from campus.

Arrival and departure times may vary depending on the time and the day. Plan out your bus schedule in advance to avoid any delays.

If you do not have a car or just do not want to wait for the bus, use Uber or Lyft. Use the Uber app or go online to book a ride from UH Mānoa to Aloha Stadium for around $20. You do need an account with Uber or Lyft to book a ride, so be sure to create one if you want to go this route. Lyft has a higher estimated rate of $27 to get from campus to the stadium.

Biking can get you from place to place. Bike routes are incorporated into Google Maps, making it a fun and healthy option to get from one place to the next. You can bike in a group or with friends. There are bike racks at the stadium, so be sure to bring a lock and read up on our article about “How to properly lock your bicycle” online. If you get too tired to bike back home after the game, you are also able to load your bike on the front of city buses.

Tips for tailgating DANIELLE VALLEJO / STAFF WRITER

GAME PLAN

Tailgating is like a sport. You need to assemble a team consisting of your best friends or family and designate jobs for them to do. You are going to need someone in charge of utilities, food, drinks and a designated driver for those who plan to drink alcohol. It sounds serious, but it is better to be prepared for your tailgate outing.

PARKING

ALOHA PRIDE

BE AWARE

The Aloha Stadium parking lot fills up fast so it is recommended that you carpool. Bring a truck or an SUV to accommodate your party and the supplies you will be using.

Show off your school pride. You can hang flags by your cars and wear face paint, jerseys or hats. Support your team and hype up everyone else at the game.

UTILITIES

Make sure to bring folding chairs, tables and a canopy. The number of chairs, tables and canopies you bring will depend on how many people are coming and the amount of food you intend to have.

You will also want to bring a portable grill. Dust off the George Foreman and get ready to start grilling. You will need charcoal and lighter fluid to start the fire. Make sure you also have a fire extinguisher to put out any wild flames.

Bring at least two coolers: one for water, juice and soda and a second for other alcoholic beverages. In case you run out of ice, bring gel packs or simple frozen water bottles that will last you until someone buys more ice.

It is also important to have pocket hand sanitizer and paper towels to stay hygienic. With all that drinking and eating, it is best to have a cleaning aide, especially if you have parked far from the bathroom.

Although you will be focused on getting lit, remember to be aware of your surroundings. Whether you are drinking or not, stay with people you trust and do not accept anything from strangers. Make sure to clean up after yourself and take everything you came with. There is nothing wrong with having fun, but your safety comes first.

KA LEO O HAWAI‘I: THE VOICE OF HAWAI‘I

Sharing school pride and the Aloha Spirit through dance SOURCE: UH MANOA DANCE TEAM 

Alumni of the Rainbow Warrior Dance Team have gone on to become members of the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders and the Laker Girls.

BROOKE ALCURAN OPINIONS EDITOR

Standing in the end zone of Aloha Stadium, wearing glittering, white scoop-neck dresses stamped with the University of Hawai‘i’s green and white logo, are members of the Rainbow Warrior Dance Team. If you are having a hard time distinguishing them from another cheering, leaping group on the field, their pom-poms are sure to give them away.

The University of Hawai‘i Rainbow Warrior Dancers are most recognized by their performances at the halftime shows in Stan Sheriff Center or Aloha Stadium. But the Rainbow Warrior Dancers are much more than just dancers and halftime performers.

“We [attended] the Kapi‘olani Hospital Prom ... We did a quick little performance for them, mingled with

them, danced with them and talked to them,” said dancer Jamie Lee, a UH Mānoa student who is wrapping up a degree in communications.

Lee is also a native O‘ahu resident and graduated from ‘Iolani School in 2013.

“It was inspiring [to get to know the child patients and become familiar with their conditions] because they are going through so much and you really appreciate what you have and that you can dance,” Lee said.

Affiliated with the University of Hawai‘ i Marching Band, the Rainbow Warrior Dancers are representatives of UH Mānoa and the state of Hawai‘ i. In addition to performing at halftime shows, the dancers can be seen performing at venues and community events across the state, including at Downtown Pearlridge Center and at their fundraiser at ‘Aiea Bowl. Dancers are trained

Where to find UH homecoming gear KEVIN HARRISON / NEWS EDITOR

Homecoming is coming up fast and if you are going to the game or at least a tailgate party, you might want to buy some Univeristy of Hawai‘ i apparel. Here is a breakdown of a few stores near campus where you can buy UH gear.

in jazz and hip-hop and come from Hawai‘ i and around the nation.

“I started with ballet and tap,” said Tiffany Johnson, a junior at UH Mānoa and aspiring pediatrician, who started dancing when she was three years old.

Johnson was born and raised in California and danced on her high school’s team before becoming a Rainbow Warrior Dancer. She continued her dance career by joining the team because it provides her with a peace of mind.

“My mom is a dancer, so we danced all the time together as a family,” said Johnson. “So, when I was going through something, dance would be there for me at the end of the day to release.”

Performing in front of thousands every year may not seem very therapeutic to some, it might even seem nerve-wracking and daunting. How-

ever, both Lee and Johnson live for the crowd at football and volleyball games. The Rainbow Warrior Dance Team is vital to maintaining pride in the University of Hawai‘i system and its athletics program.

“UH is basically the entire state,” Lee said. “We don’t have a state football team or anything NFL or NBA. So, for me, being on the dance team means we are representing the entire state.”

These dancers’ reasons for joining the Rainbow Warrior Dance Team extend far beyond a need for dance therapy or love of performance. Dancing on the team allows them to connect their passion for dance with their passion for the Aloha Spirit, take pride in the University of Hawai‘ i system and fuel their desire to help others.

“I always say that it’s great that I can blend my art and my passion with

my pride in my school. It brings back a good spirit to us as a team. It’s just really good to spread the Aloha Spirit,” Johnson said.

Serving the community as a Rainbow Warrior Dancer is motivational and heartening for her as a team member.

“Dance is like a relationship, a connection,” Lee said. “It’s a way ... for speaking and emoting nonverbally with your body and just emitting everything you feel and to make other people feel what you are feeling as well.”

The next time the Rainbow Warrior Dancers strut, chassé and drop down into splits on the Aloha Stadium field, find that connection and allow them to make you feel pride for where you come from, the people that surround you and the spirit of aloha.

Healthy Living Parties and tailgating are often the highlights of Homecoming season that everyone looks forward to.

However, hangovers can ruin the fun with overwhelming head pounding and sensory overloads the next day. But, there’s a simple solution that can prevent (almost) all the regret from a college party.

Trainer Chris Powell, who was featured on the Dr. Oz show, presented an electrolyte powdered drink that would prevent a hangover. Powell suggests drinking two packets with a quart of water before sleeping the booze away, causing the body to flush out fluids, which leads to an electrolyte imbalance, according to Dr. Robert Swift, Ph.D. and Dena Davidson, Ph.D. In their study, four drinks on average (50 g of alcohol in 250 mL of water) eliminates a quarter gallon of water.

GET MÄ€NOAĘťS TOP STORIES IN A SNAP!

When unsure of how much to add, follow the standard guide in keeping track of alcohol servings. “One standard drink is 12 ounces of regular beer, eight to nine ounces of malt liquor, four ounces of table wine, or one and a half ounces of 80–proof spirits,� according to the National Institutes of Health. Keeping count of how much alcohol you intake will help you combat a heavy hangover and serious overdrinking.

At the end of the day, make sure you exercise control when drinking and know your options to keep hangovers at bay.

JAHLANI TAVAI

POSITION / LINEBACKER CLASS / REDSHIRT SOPHOMORE MAJOR / FAMILY RESOURCES

Being a leader is not a role University of Hawai‘i linebacker Jahlani Tavai planned on stepping into on the Rainbow Warrior football team, but it is a position he has found himself in this 2016 season and he is ready to take on the challenge.

“It [being a leader] feels great and just shows that the coaches trust me,” Tavai said. “I just have to step up to the challenge and make sure everybody is in place, doing their job and trying to achieve perfection.”

Currently a redshirt sophomore from Redondo Beach, California, Tavai came to the Warriors program ready to do his time and earn his way to a starting position. In the 2016 season so far, he has already registered 23 solo tackles, 10 assisted tackles and caught one interception in just the first five games combined.

This is expected since Tavai rolled into this season after being a consistent player on the team in the 2015 season. As a freshman, he appeared in all 13 games and started 11 of them at

If looks can be deceiving, then Dru Brown presents the ultimate deception.

The newly minted starting quarterback for the University of Hawai‘i stands at 6 feet tall with an unassuming disposition, fitting the frame of a slot receiver instead of the program's future under center, the latter something he is shaping up to be.

As soft-spoken as he is off the field, he shows nothing but command of his team on it.

“The quarterback has a lot of responsibility,” Brown said. “If you just stick to what you’re being told, you’ll be successful.”

After being the backup quarterback to Ikaika Woolsey for the Rainbow Warriors’ first four games, Brown shined in his debut as the starter. In a 38-17 victory over Nevada on Oct. 2, he went 15-for-18 with two touchdowns and no interceptions. On the ground, he had seven carries for 31 yards. It was UH’s first conference victory since 2014 and first win over Nevada since 2010.

When the sophomore decided to commit to the program in the first place, he had to make a quick decision. Still, it was a simple one to make.

“It was pretty easy. It was my only scholarship from my junior college.

It was either stay at my junior college for another year and see what I got or come out here and have more years to play,” Brown said. “It happened pretty fast within a few days of my offer and my visit, I had to make a decision.”

Brown joined the team in late June after spending his freshman year at the College of San Mateo in California. Although he was not present for spring ball to vie for a starting role, he knew he would get that chance come fall camp.

“When I came on my official visit, the coaches told me that they would give me a chance to compete,” Brown said. “It wasn’t going to be handed to me but I definitely had to compete for the job and that’s all you can really ask for.

Everything else is out of your control. All you want is a fair shot and that’s what they gave me.”

First-year UH head coach Nick Rolovich knew what he saw in Brown. It compelled him to pull the trigger and offer Brown a scholarship – his only FBS offer.

“We look for guys that really love to play the game … There’s athletes that play quarterback and there’s athletic quarterbacks. I like to find athletic quarterbacks that know how to play the position,” Rolovich said.

Monk Berger was a highly touted recruit and had a freshman year to back it up, but not everything has gone according to plan for the senior goalkeeper.

A graduate of Mission Viejo High School in California, Berger was the No. 58 player in the 2013 edition of ESPN’s top 150. However, it was not her ability that first attracted Hawai‘ i head coach Michele Nagamine.

“That’s kind of a funny story,” Nagamine said. “We were at an ID camp in Southern Cal and she came bouncing over literally like she was running and she skipped and jumped and she landed right in front of me, and she’s like ‘Hi! I love Hawaii! I’m Monk!’ She was so bubbly and that was my first meeting with her … I haven’t seen her play keeper yet but I loved her personality and that’s what started the whole thing.”

Berger lived up to her billing in her first year in Mānoa, playing in 14 matches and starting 13.

She garnered all-Big West freshman team honors and set the UH

“He just really struck me as a special guy. Is he 6 feet tall? Yeah. But when you see him throw, I think the ball got out fine."

Two of Brown’s three tattoos are on the inside of his wrists, the other being a biblical verse on his ribs. His left wrist reads “faith,” while his right reads “family.”

“I’m just a very family-oriented person so I talk to my family every day and I miss them,” Brown said.

“Regardless of where I went to school or where I’m at, I’m always gonna miss them. Being on an island doesn’t bother me, it’s just being away from them.”

As caught up as any athlete can get in the Hawai‘i experience, Brown knows how to keep his priorities in check.

“The island glaze didn’t get him and he didn’t come here for that. He appreciates that, but he came here to play quarterback,” Rolovich said.

“I think he has a chip on his shoulder. He was probably overlooked in high school.

“When you go to JC, it tests your will. It’s one of the greatest experiences I can point to in my life but not everyone can handle it without the bright lights and the shine and the attention. A lot of those kids are hungry for their opportunity and play the game because they love it, and I think that’s what happened with Dru.”

record for most shutouts in a season with seven.

Her next two years did not follow the same trajectory. As a sophomore, she gave up 12 goals in eight matches. As a junior, she surrendered 2.29 goals per match. Additionally, the Wahine established themselves as bottom feeders of the Big West.

“It’s been a long journey. We’ve had a lot of ups and unfortunately, a lot of downs too,” Berger said. “I’ve been with this team for four years now and just seeing us evolve into such strong, independent women and we come together and form a team, it’s such a beautiful thing.”

This season, things have turned around for Berger and the team.

Earlier in the year, she recorded a clean sheet against Air Force in a 2-0 victory, setting the school career shutout record at 13. At 7-31, the Wahine are off to their best start in program history and have already more than doubled last season’s win total of three.

“I think they just got tired of losing,” Nagamine said. “The team did a lot of mental skills training in the spring season and that has

made a world of difference for us.

We developed leadership, taking accountability, being responsible on and off the field and the team is 100 percent responsible.

They decided that they were not gonna have it anymore and they made changes.”

Added Berger: “We translated that anger and regret to confidence and having that will to work harder as a team. We’re very confident, we’re very positive about a lot of stuff. We just have each other’s backs on the field. We’ve had some success but we’re not looking back on that.”

With her future decided, Berger knows that this season will be her last. She wants to go into teaching and will only play recreationally once her career at UH is done.

But before she gets to that point, she hopes to finish her career in a memorable way.

“I want to be remembered as 2016, that was the team that went to the tournament, that was the team that went to NCAA’s,” Berger said. “I want to be remembered by helping my team get there.”

The average temperature in the town of Cranbrook, British Columbia is 42.1 degrees, while the average temperature of Honolulu is 77.6 degrees.

This meant a major adjustment for junior middle hitter Emily Maglio.

“It was definitely a difficult transition,” Maglio said. “The humidity was deadly. I got off the plane, took a deep breath, and couldn’t breathe. It was so hot and so humid. It took so long to get used to and living in the dorms with no AC was tough. But now when I come back from being home I don’t even sweat, I’m used to it.”

Growing up in Canada, Maglio was active in the national sport of hockey from grades 2-9. When an opportunity to move away for a future career in volleyball arose, encouragement from her family convinced her to take it.

“For the longest time I still was like ‘I want to go somewhere and play hockey’ but when I moved it was for volleyball because there were more opportunities,” Maglio said. “I wasn’t even very good, I was just tall and somewhat coordinated. I made the team before I even moved there and I went to live with my cousins.”

During four seasons of club play with the Coquitlam Ducks, she helped them win the B.C. provincial championship in 2012, 2013 and 2014, and the Canadian Nationals in 2012. She was Pinetree High School’s Female Athlete of the Year in 2014.

With a high school career full of

accomplishments, she caught the attention of colleges. After sending out emails to schools, she remembers sending one to UH and getting a quick reply.

“I sent one to Hawai‘ i and the very next day I got a reply and there was something that made me be like 'that’s where I want to go,'” Maglio said.

Maglio has acclimated herself to life in Hawai‘i and has made a name for herself within the Rainbow Wahine program.

“She’s turned into quite an accomplished player,” head coach Dave Shoji said. “She’s always been a really good blocker and I think she’s added offense to her game.

She’s hitting for a very high percentage, she’s got several different ways to attack, that’s really helped. But her blocking is her strength. She’s a really instinctive blocker.”

While there may be aspects of Canada that Maglio still misses such as her family, her dog and the winter season, she has found much to love in her second home of Hawai‘i.

“The atmosphere, playing in the Stan Sheriff Center, there’s nothing that compares to that,” Maglio said. “I mean, if you’re way high up and playing for a hockey team or something, there are some big crowds. But for volleyball there’s nothing that compares to going out on the court when everyone’s cheering for you.”

Taking advantage of the landscape that she is now in, Maglio has become an instrumental member of the Wahine Beach Volleyball team as well. She spent last season playing in the number one position and

recording a 14-2 season.

“Playing at one last year was a high-pressure situation helped her play indoor with pressure and it doesn’t faze her,” beach volleyball head coach Jeff Hall said. “She’s such a workhorse and the beach lends itself to people that want to work hard. We’re lucky to have her on the team and I’m looking forward to her last year where she’s just full time beach volleyball.”

Her coaches agree that with her experience, Maglio has numerous career routes and opportunities waiting for her after her time as a collegiate athlete has finished.

“I keep saying that I think she can be an Olympian on the beach for Canada sooner than she could play indoor,” Hall said. “She’ll finish school after her senior year indoor and she’ll do some graduate school work is the plan for a year for the one year of eligibility for beach. I’m sure from that point she’ll have invitations to be in the Canada gym or the Canada beach program.”

Maglio herself agrees with that vision of her future.

“I’m hoping maybe to go play professionally overseas if indoor goes well,” Maglio said. “I know some people see me doing well in beach volleyball but I think that’s something you can always fall back on. When you’re a lot older people are still playing beach because it’s not as hard on your knees and stuff. I think I want to try and play indoor for as long as I can and then transition to the beach. One day I want to go to veterinary school and become a veterinarian.”

the outside linebacker position.

He ranked top 10 on the team in defensive statistics with a total of 56 tackles (26 solo and 30 assisted).

He also came in second on defense with three sacks and registered fourth best overall in defense for tackles for loss. He also recorded the only safety for the Warriors against San Jose State in 2015 after he tackled their quarterback, Kenny Potter, in their own end zone, tallying a sack for himself as well.

In the 2014 season, Tavai redshirted, however, he was a standout player at his alma mater, Mira Costa High School, in Manhattan Beach, California, just the year before. He served as team captain, played both defense and tight end on offense and also was ranked the No. 305 athlete in the nation by 247Sports.

As a senior in high school, he was named all-CIF Southern Section Northern Division first team and All-Bay League first team as well. He also recorded 67 tackles at nose guard his senior season, and had 20 receptions and two touchdowns as tight end. With his help, Mira Costa got second

place in the Bay League and also went to the quarterfinals of the Northern Division playoffs.

If that was not enough, Tavai was named to the U.S. National U-18 rugby team and was a twotime all-state and All-American selection, as well as having lettered in volleyball and track.

Athleticism runs in the Tavai family with both of his older brothers playing Division I football. His brother, Jordan, was a defensive lineman at Kansas, while his other brother, J.R., was a linebacker at USC and currently plays for the Tennessee Titans.

With football in his bloodline, Tavai hopes to carry the torch like his brothers did before him, and continue to perform as a Rainbow Warrior football player and a leader of the pack.

“As far as my personal goals go, I just want to make sure I lead this team to victories,” Tavai said.

“But more importantly for the team goals, we just got to make sure we do our jobs and play selflessly.”

KA LEO O HAWAI‘I: THE VOICE OF HAWAI‘I

COVER STORY

THE NEW HA'A UH FOOTBALL PRESENTS A NEW CULTURE ON THE FIELD

GABRIEL ESTEVEZ / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

The new Ha'a was composed specifically for the Rainbow Warrior football team.

DREW AFUALO SPORTS EDITOR

A fierce look and bulging eyes paired with a stuck-out tongue is pivotal to the University of Hawai‘i football team’s skillset since they have been performing a traditional pre-game chant before their football games for the past 10 years.

However, the program has changed and this year's newly introduced Ha'a is starting to steal the show.

“Culturally there was a change definitely. [Rolovich] has tried to change our mentality coming into this season,” linebacker Dayton Furuta said. “He’s emphasized a lot on our culture and our Hawaiian culture, so he brought in a new Ha’a and it all ties back to football.”.

Prior to this cultural change, the Warriors performed a traditional Haka instead. A Haka is a performance that originates from the islands of New Zealand. The dance was used by the Maori people to intmidate enemies in war. However, there are multiple versions of the Haka, and they can be utilized on different occasions.

The traditional song and dance was made popular within the UH community when former head coach June Jones was in charge.

Jones encouraged this tradition in 2007 after he led the Warriors to a 12-0 season and took the team to its last bowl game appearance at the “Sugar Bowl." After the last successful season UH registered, the Haka was brought into the fold as a pre-game ritual staple and has been passed down from team to team, evolving over the years.

UH’s previous version of the Haka was led by one or two players and was performed on the field prior to the game starting. In the past, especially under Jones’ reign, there had been a controversy over when the team could perform the chant since

the conference rules did not allow for excessive celebration or taunting, since it counts as “unsportsmanlike conduct.”

"I think the entire culture of Hawai‘i football changed and we're seeing a little glimpse of back in the old days of how things used to be and how guys cared about playing football here and playing with pride," defensive lineman Makani Kema-Kaleiwahea said.

The Warriors, as well as the Hawaiian community, insist that it is an essential part of the culture in Oceania and is not meant as a sign of disrespect; it is meant to showcase the

ment and ‘ike (or thinking), according to kamehemehafestival.org.

The website also explains that the Ha‘a is rooted in ancient Hawaiian practices: lua (martial arts), hula (dance) and an oli (chant), and is meant to celebrate the “spirit of the ancient Koa and the virtues of Aloha (love and compassion), Koa (valiant and courage), Lokahi (unity and peace), Kupa‘a (firm and loyal) and Mana (power and authority).”

For UH football, the shift from a Maori chant to a Hawaiian one is a change that has been welcomed to the program’s new history with open arms.

pride that comes along with coming from the islands, as well as putting on that green and white uniform.

Now the culture has shifted, and under the tutelage of Rolovich, a traditional Ha‘a, or Hawaiian chant, has been introduced as the new norm.

Led by Kema-Kaleiwahea and fellow defensive lineman Tevarua Eldridge, the new chant is comprised of Hawaiian words and is accompanied with choreography as well.

“I like [the change from the Haka to a Ha‘a], because last year our Maori Haka was cool, but there was no meaning behind it,” Furuta said. “In our Hawaiian Ha‘a we’re talking about where we’re from, how the land was made and there’s just a lot more spiritual energy from the local boys.”

A Ha‘a, or Ha‘a Koa, translates to “Warrior Dance” or “Dance of the Warrior” and is a kāne (masculine) protocol that involves the collaboration of Hawaiian language, move-

“I feel like [the new Ha‘a] is more intimidating, because in our hearts we know it means more,” Furuta said.

Although the chant is led by island natives, the team recognizes how important it is to include all of their teammates, as well as educate them on the importance of knowing where these Hawaiian chants come from, what they stand for and why they should be proud to perform it.

“I’m excited, you know, being of Hawaiian ancestry, it’s definitely an awesome opportunity for the guys to learn a little bit about Hawaiian culture,” Kema-Kaleiwahea said.

“Especially for the Hawaiian people to see us taking pride in it and doing it before the games. I know everyone is excited that we’re doing it.”

NO PAY, NO PLAY College athletes should be given compensation JACQUES BRUNVIL SENIOR STAFF WRITER

Each year, athletes are given a unique opportunity to play at the college level while earning a scholarship. Despite this, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) continues to profit off the hard work of student-athletes while giving little in return.

Our current job market requires many to obtain degrees in higher education.

A college scholarship is simply not enough in comparison to the amount of work college athletes put in.

Over the past 10 years, the NCAA generates, on average, $814 million, but college athletes make barely enough to pay their tuition. If athletic departments cannot pay their athletes at least a small amount, expect them not to play at all.

CAREER TRAINING

For college athletes, the opportunity to play is a bridge into professional sports. Most, however, will seek jobs outside of professional athletics.

According to a 2016 NCAA study, 1.6 percent of the 16,175 football players eligible for the NFL draft were drafted. The same study found that 0.9 percent of female basketball players went on to play professionally out of the 3,686 eligible players.

Although the NCAA has a Career Center, the demanding schedule of college athletics does not permit student-athletes to take advantage of career opportunities at their

MINIMUM WAGE

colleges. According to a 2008 NCAA study, student-athletes spend approximately 40 hours a week toiling over their sport.

This commitment often leaves them without the practical career skills that a university education can provide.

In 2014, sports economist Dan Rascher from the University of San Francisco found that “some athletic departments are as rich as pro teams.” For all the time student-athletes spend on their sport and with all the money athletic departments make, why are the only people who can’t make money the athletes?

College sports are a multibillion-dollar industry. In 2010, CBS Sports and Turner Broadcasting paid the NCAA more than $10.8 billion for 14 years of rights to broadcast the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship.

Lynn O’Shaugnessy of CBS MoneyWatch reported that, on average, athletic scholarships are worth less than $11,000.

However, only six sports offer full-ride scholarships. To make matters worse, the NCAA can decide how much money a pro-

gram can give away in scholarships. Coaches have the power to slice up that money as small or as large as they choose.

Paying college athletes at least minimum wage not only helps to subsidize their living expenses but also gives them a better return on their commitment to athletics. As job markets continue to change, we must be willing to give college athletes the tools they need both on and off the field.

Nā ‘Ono o Mānoa event to raise UH team spirit

SHAWN NAKAMOTO / UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I 

Pictured above is a map of the event.

KIMBERLEE SPEAKMAN MANAGING EDITOR

During the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s homecoming week of celebration in 2012, there were many events available for students to attend: a Homecoming Golf Tournament, an arts festival and a homecoming Fair. Since then, the homecoming celebration and spirit has dwindled. However, this year, that may change.

UH Mānoa is working to revamp their homecoming celebration with new events including “Nā ‘Ono o Mānoa” or “The Flavors of Mānoa,” which the university is working with event planner Street Grindz (who

organizes Eat the Street) to plan.

“We know the Eat the Street events are pretty popular, so we thought it would be kind of cool to have it at Mānoa, and that’s one of the things that Street Grindz does as a company,” said Shawn Nakamoto, Senior Director of Communications & Marketing at UH Mānoa. “They’re able to put these events on in different locations other than Kaka‘ako, then it becomes like a collaboration between the host site and Street Grindz.”

Street Grindz will be bringing in about 10-12 food vendors and six retail vendors from the Honolulu Night Market to the event, which will take place at the T.C. Ching Athletic Complex near the Les Murakami

Baseball Stadium on Friday, Oct. 14 at 4:30 p.m. The event will be free and open to the public. Nakamoto said that the vendors will be lined up on the road near the Les Murakami Baseball Stadium and that there will be a stage and activities tent with various UH Mānoa organizations inside on the field. These organizations, which include the UH admissions department, Associated Students at the University of Hawai‘i (ASUH), Na Koa Football Club, the UH Alumni Association, Ka Leo, UH Athletics and others, will be giving away items and will have activities at each separate booth.

Full-time undergraduate students will also be able to obtain a homecoming T-shirt at the event by presenting their UH ID to ASUH in the activities tent, and students with a valid UH ID can also get a $5 food voucher to be used at any of the food vendor trucks.

“The whole idea to have a homecoming event was really important to the former Chancellor Robert Bley-Vroman. He really wanted to bring back the homecoming event for our campus and for the community that we serve. He felt it was important to establish a tradition of some sort,” Nakamoto said. “This is our attempt to try and start it up again.

Start small, and hopefully it will grow into something bigger.”

UH sophomore Ashley Ishibashi is excited for the upcoming events because these kinds of university events don’t happen often.

“It’s cool that there’s a lot of stuff here for students. It’s really interactive, like my old school didn’t really have that,” Ishibashi said.

However, some students in the UH Mānoa community are unsure if the events will be enough to get people excited for the homecoming games, especially the ‘Bows football game.

UH graduate Ryan Yamada said that part of this may be because of the Hawai‘i football spirit — or lack thereof — in comparison to other states in the nation.

“I think the environment here, and this is not limited to the school, but is limited to the state, is we’re pretty much mild-weather fans. If we’re winning, we’re cheering, we’re showing up. You know, we’re showing school spirit. But if we’re not winning, we’re not there.”

However Yamada said that he does have hope that the Hawai‘i spirit for the game will return through homecoming and social sport events.

“I think putting out more programs like that for homecoming, to draw in the crowds, I think that’s a

good thing,” Yamada said. “Part of the team factor is that there’s a fan base there, there’s a fan base supporting them, and I think that’s a big contributing factor to wins.”

KILLING GIANTS, FINDING ADVENTURES The PC exclusive branches out onto consoles KEVIN ALLEN FEATURES EDITOR

With Vikings, thunder-wielding gods and world-ending battles, what is there not to like about Norse Mythology.

In gaming, you will see a stray Ragnarök or Mjölnir, primarily when referring to fantasy weapons. However, “Jotun: Valhalla Edition” goes full board with its Norse influences, including fire-breathing giants and god-killing wolves that make for an environmentally rich game setting.

Jotun, or Jötunn in their original Germanic, are giants. Your player’s character, a single Viking who was plunged deep into the sea, is not a giant. The size discrepancy the game creates is a constant visual as you are tasked with taking down these monstrous Jotun. Each giant comes well equipped with its own attack patterns and move sets that players will have to learn before merging victorious. These fights are not easy and can come down to inches, but the suspense in these bouts is one of the game’s brightest features.

Defeating Norse giants is no easy task, and fortunately, your character is gifted with the powers of the gods. There is a mix of abilities at hand, ranging from self-healing to bringing down Thor’s mighty hammer on your foes. Using these abil-

ities adds an extra layer of strategy when fighting the Jotun as they are all given a hard limit on uses, making each activation vital. Aside from that, your combat skills include a light attack, heavy attack and a roll.

The simplicity in the controls helps players focus on learning the intricate attacks of the Jotun rather than being bogged down by a complex control scheme.

The game includes action levels that fall flat compared to the mythic fights you will have against the Jotun. Unlocking the gate to fight a Jotun requires two complete runs of bite-sized levels that feel like a chore. Thankfully, these areas are short and the life boosts and power-ups hidden throughout each area are easy to find, allowing players to blow past them and get to the real action.

What makes the majority of these areas bearable is the game’s art style, which encapsulates Norse mythology well. Ranging from gruesome to noble in their stature, the Jotun are portrayed in a colorful fashion. The detail in the environments have not been overlooked either, and a few of the game’s massive backdrops create a sense of wonder.

Although “Jotun: Valhalla Edition” does give players a brief look at Norse mythology, it never dives deep into the lore. I often found myself wishing there was some sort

Only $14.99 for a tale of epic proportions.

of compendium to learn about the mythological characters the game introduces. Even a few more lines delivered by the narrator would have been nice. Instead, you are left with a browser history full of Google searches.

“Jotun: Valhalla Edition” is so close to hitting it out of the park.

It has huge boss fights, a deep lore

and an art-style to wrap things up nicely. Unfortunately, it is hard to ignore how boring the levels can be and how the game gives players no real explanation on who these giants are and why they are so pissed. If you enjoy going down a Wikipedia hole for lore and story, pick up “Jotun: Valhalla Edition” and go slay a few legends.

Stay away from the blue light Learn to catch “Z’s” TZANA SALDANIA SENIOR STAFF WRITER

CHRISTIAN BERNIER / FLICKR

The average college student sleeps for 6 - 6.9 hours.

You finished studying, got in bed early, and you know you need your rest, but you cannot fall asleep. While some inability to sleep is caused from serious ailments/disorders and require drug intervention, the majority of sleep issues are caused by problems with simple fixes.

If you have an “iPhone,” you probably noticed the “Night Shift” mode that came with an update a couple months back. It turns the screen an orangey-hue, making the device’s light less intense.

The body produces melatonin to regulate normal sleeping patterns (circadian rhythms).

“Exposure to light suppresses the secretion of melatonin, a hormone that influences circadian rhythms,” reports the Harvard Health Letter.

Our phones, computers, and even certain light bulbs emit a distinct “blue light.” It is the presence of this light at night that does not allow natural sleep.

“Blue wavelengths — which are beneficial during daylight hours because they boost attention, reaction times, and mood — seem to be the most disruptive at night,” the Harvard Health Letter continued.

Remember this the next time you want to scroll through “Instagram” at 11 p.m., you are ruining your chances of a restful slumber.

CHILL MINUS THE ‘NETFLIX’

Avoid digital devices as the evening winds down, but do not forget to find a way to relax.

“Anxiety causes sleeping problems, and new research suggests sleep deprivation can cause an anxiety disorder,” the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA) reported.

It is easy as a college student to freak out about everything. Believe it or not, we are still hormonal, even though we are not in puberty and the brain, unless you are in your “30’s to 40’s,” hasn’t fully matured.

Losing your marbles due to the fact that you cannot sleep will just

add fuel to the fire of your anxiety.

“Avoid looking at the clock," the APAA suggests, "This can make you anxious in the middle of the night.

Turn the clock away from you.”

During the day, the ADAA also recommends meditation to help you deal with life’s stressors, which in turn will make a full night’s rest more easily achievable.

School, relationships, jobs, your Wi-Fi connection; those things can be difficult, but sleep should not be. We all have heard the PSA’s, the health articles and the biology lectures that remind us of the importance of sleep to our health. While we may acknowledge it, there are always going to be times when the all-nighter insomnia knocks on our door.

But do not worry, there are real ways to destress and regain your “beautiful sleep.” Just shut off your phone, turn the clock around and start counting sheep.

An undemocratic democracy How our presidential election process favors inequality

STARBRIGHT31 / FLICKR 

In Hawai‘i, 43.56 percent of the voting-age population voted in the 2012 election.

JACQUES BRUNVIL SENIOR STAFF WRITER

For 228 years, Americans have participated in a presidential election system that fails to represent people equally. This institution, known as the Electoral College, was designed to serve the interest of political elites rather than to provide a result that represents all voices.

America's voting system has caused many citizens to feel disconnected from politics. Removing the Electoral College from the election process will allow Americans

to benefit from the equal voicing of opinions and the even distribution of voting power.

THE VOTES OF A FEW

The Electoral College is composed of 538 delegates, called electors, chosen by political parties to cast final ballots for the next president and vice president of the United States.

The "popular vote" is composed of ordinary citizens, but the "electoral vote" is the one that matters.

Electors, per the Constitution, are not obligated to vote in accordance

with their constituents, but a total of 29 states, including Hawai‘i, have passed laws that would compel electors to cast their ballots accordingly.

In 1876, although presidential candidate Samuel J. Tilden won over 50 percent of the popular vote, a dispute over electoral votes cost him the election, giving it to former President Rutherford B. Hayes.

In 1888, former President Grover Cleveland won a majority of popular votes, but lost his reelection bid in the Electoral College. Similar events happened most recently in 2000, when former Vice President

Al Gore won a majority of popular votes, but still lost the election to former President George W. Bush.

SWING STATES

Some regions are under or overrepresented by electoral votes and candidates will appeal more to “swing” states while sometimes ignoring “safe” states. Safe states are usually dominated by a political party; California and New York are safe states for Democrats while Utah and Alabama are safe states for Republicans. Swing states, such as Ohio or Florida, have a competing

balance between two parties, which forces candidates to focus their resources on those states where the most electoral votes are at risk.

Abolishing the Electoral College would lead to elected officials chosen based off of popular votes alone, allowing for all voices to be heard.

This will ensure that people of all backgrounds are equally represented and will bring the focus back on the people and the issues.

'We can’t let Trump win' The media makes the right decision by condemning the Republican candidate

GAGE SKIDMORE / FLICKR 

Donald Trump is known as a businessman and televsion personality, and he has never held public office.

JARIN MORIGUCHI ASSOCIATE OPINIONS EDITOR

A racist, misogynistic bigot cannot lead our nation. On Sept. 29, USA Today’s editorial board decided that it is vital that Donald Trump not take office. The editorial board has taken stances on major issues, but have never directly pressured their audience to cast their vote for a certain candidate. Now, the board urges Americans not to vote for Trump.

“We have a unanimous decision against voting for Donald Trump,” explained Operations Editor Thuan Elston, “but we don’t have consensus on Hillary Clinton.”

The 34-year-old newspaper explicitly states that the board is not endorsing the former Secretary of State. The announcement also made it clear that “USA TODAY’s editorial opinions are decided by its Editorial Board, separate from the news staff.”

CONCERNED CITIZENS TAKE ACTION

Media outlets’ decision to take a stand against the threat of Donald Trump can awaken skeptical supporters and undecided voters by informing the audience that these organizations reach. When a problem has the potential to become a threat to Americans, it is the responsibility of concerned citizens to use platforms available to them to inspire change.

Editorial Page Editor Bill Sternberg explained that the board has

believed that, in past elections, there have been capable candidates with a range of ideas. He also explained that the editorial board understands that citizens with different priorities will choose certain candidates. But this year, they believe that it is critical that all voters vote for a candidate other than Donald Trump.

The USA Today’s editorial board announcement states: “Whatever you do, however, resist the siren song of a dangerous demagogue. By all means vote, just not for Donald Trump.”

Additionally, the Huffington Post’s kicker at the bottom of multiple Trump pieces is this: “Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims — 1.6 billion members of an entire religion — from entering the U.S.” A DARK AND EMBARRASSING TRUMP PRESIDENCY

What would allowing Trump to take office say about this nation’s values? It would say that the United States lacks the need to condemn white supremacy and that we are indifferent to racism. It would mean that we are fine with calling women

dogs and mocking disabled people.

Our nation accepting Trump values is not an America that citizens would be proud of.

Citizens who realize the potential repercussions of allowing Donald Trump to enter office have condemned many of his offensive actions and principles. Now, USA Today’s editorial board does as well. We draw nearer to the general election in November, and the possibility of a Trump presidency is too close to becoming reality.

Is Trump’s vision of this country one that we want for future generations? To those who have the influence and power to affect change: help us. We, as millennials, continue to break the social constructs of anti-LGBTQ stigma. We demand that women have rights over their bodies. We speak out against the gun violence that has devastated this nation. We want to create a society where our children and grandchildren can live free from prejudice and suffering.

Americans can pave the way toward a brighter future by reaching out to citizens that have been indifferent for too long. Will you choose to act?
