Do you know where to find counseling?

Poll questions whether UH Mānoa community knows where to get advice BIANCA SMALLWOOD ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

A poll conducted by a community college instructor found that many students and faculty do not know where they can receive counseling services at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa.

“I think it’s something that should be addressed. [Suicide] happens far more frequently than we realize and if counseling services are well advertised, who knows? It might help save someone’s life,” Annette Priesman, a Windward Community College (WCC) English instructor, said in a phone interview.

Priesman said on Sept. 4, she asked 215 UH Mānoa students and 16 faculty and staff if they knew where the Counseling and Student Development Center (CSDC) was located. Of the 215, Priesman said only five students knew where the office was located while all 16 faculty and staff did not know.

Priesman said that as a UH Mānoa student she did not know where the office was located herself until she witnessed a suicide and sought help. However, she said that if the services were advertised better, more people would be aware and utilize its services.

The Counseling and Student

Development Center (CSDC) at UH Mānoa advertises its services through New Student Orientation (NSO), its website and flyers, said Lori Ideta, interim vice chancellor for students.

While some may consider UH Mānoa a large campus, with a student population of 19,507, studies show that on a campus of 10,000 students will see a suicide every two to three years, according to the Illinois Department of Health. Suicide is the second primary cause

ant for the campus community,” Ideta said in a phone interview. “We are very blessed to have a counseling center. Not all universities of our size have such a center that is staffed with wonderful psychologists, therapists and psychiatrists and the fact that we do is something to be quite proud of.”

While Ideta said that incoming students receive information on the counseling center at events such as NSO, UH Mānoa English professor Susan Schultz said that new

[Suicide] happens far more frequently than we realize.

– ANNETTE PRIESMAN ENGLISH INSTRUCTOR, WINDWARD COMMUNITY COLLEGE

of death amongst college students, according to the Campus Suicide Prevention Center of Virginia.

SPREADING THE WORD

Ideta said advertisement is an essential resource for UH Mānoa counseling services. “[It’s important] for people to know that the counseling center is available on the college campus and that its resources are free and completely confidential is import-

students feel overwhelmed after receiving a large packet with information about all the services offered on campus.

She added that since students will forget this information, it needs to be easily accessible and advertised regularly.

“You need to anticipate that you’re trying to reach people who might not be at their best and very simply lay out ‘this is what you might be feeling and this is what you should do,’”

said Schultz, the driving force behind a petition to change the university’s death protocol.

In accordance with National Suicide Prevention Week, the CSDC created “table tents” that listed information on suicide and the center’s contact information. These were placed throughout tables in the Campus Center Food Court.

While Ideta said that she feels the CSDC does an amazing job of promoting its services, she said there is room for improvement.

“We could do more to advertise,” Ideta said. “The question then I posed to [Schultz], the support that I asked for from the campus community, is to then assist us in getting more resources for the counseling center.”

After meeting on Sept. 14, Ideta and Schultz decided to collaborate and grant Schultz’s group, Mental Health Hui, permission to seek out resources to help fund a redesign of CSDC’s brochures and create flyers to post around campus.

WHERE TO GO FOR HELP

Staffed with licensed psychologists and psychiatrists, the CSDC’s overall mission is to deliver “high quality services to promote the academic success and well-rounded development of its students.”

The center offers free personal,

career and couples counseling, and matters discussed during counseling are confidential.

CSDC’s Faculty Director, Dr. Allyson Tanouye said that she feels satisfied knowing that the center can provide faculty and students at UH Mānoa with the support they need.

“It is a fulfilling role, and we are honored to be one of the on-campus resources available to students as they face the challenges of university life and adulthood,” Tanouye said in an email interview. “I am proud of the CSDC team as they provide high quality, accessible and multiculturally respectful support to the UHM campus and beyond.”

UH and Kamehameha Schools partner up KEVIN HARRISON STAFF WRITER

A formal agreement was signed on Sept. 9, 2015 between the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa and Kamehameha Schools to move forward with their partnership supporting Native Hawaiian students, Hui Ho’opili ‘Aina (HHA).

The agreement was signed by Kamehameha Schools CEO Jack Wong and UH President David Lassner. Founded last March, the partnership aims to improve Native Hawaiian student success and further sustainability education.

“We hope to see more Native Hawaiian students that are coming from the public schools, private schools, charter schools and immersion schools,” said Maenette Benham, dean of Hawai‘inuiākea, UH Mānoa School of Hawaiian Knowledge.

Benham is the UH co-lead working alongside Lassner and Kamehameha Schools.

PROVIDING STUDENT OPPORTUNITIES

Shawn Kana‘iaupuni, Kamehameha Schools’ co-lead, said that Kamehameha Schools would be offering eight college credit courses for their students next year. She also said that their O‘ahu campus has partnered with Kapi‘olani Community College to allow students to take a Saturday course there.

Benham said the partnership will look into how UH Mānoa can maximize scholarships and financial aid for Native Hawaiian students. They will look into an aid package that includes scholarships that do not need to be annually renewed.

‘Ike Hawai‘i is a theme of this partnership that is designed to permeate throughout the other aspects of the partnership. It focuses on the advancement of Hawaiian language and culture.

The ‘Ike Hawai‘i work group is planning a conference of Hawaiian language instructors according to Punihei Lipe, a member of ‘Ike Hawai‘i. The group is also examin-

ing how to smooth the transition for students coming from Hawaiian Immersion schools so that they may complete their college degrees in Hawaiian.

COURTESY: UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I 

FIRST OF ITS KIND

Lassner said this is the first formal partnership between Kamehameha Schools and UH Mānoa.

“It indicates that our commitment to addressing our shared goals, collaboratively, is a priority,” Lassner said in an email interview.

The two institutions first came together over a discussion about Mō‘ili‘ili, and according to Benham, both parties realized the potential in a formal partnership. Lassner said the two schools had worked together on specific projects over the years, but there never was a partnership like this.

PATH FOR SUCCESS

Both school systems have laid out three themes to base the partnership on.

Kamehameha Schools students can now earn up to 15 college credits.

The first action work group focuses on early college programs within Kamehameha Schools. The goal is to allow Kamehameha students to earn up to 15 college credits while in high school, said Benham.

“Our early college options for high school students and scholarship programs will also support Native Hawaiians studying sustainability and environmental sciences,” Lassner said.

The second work group focuses on student data sharing. Both schools are looking into how to share student data effectively in order to ensure student success.

“We know that having the data to be able to understand the pathways

and successes as well as barriers to college completion for our students is really critical,” Kana‘iaupuni said.

The third group, Living Learning Lab, centers on harnessing ‘āinabased opportunities and applying them to areas of learning. This group will be tackling the sustainability theme, specifically in Mō‘ ili‘ ili.

The partnership is looking at how to create learning and entrepreneurial opportunities in Mō‘ili‘ili. Both schools want to create a place welcoming to families and supportive to students and the learning process.

Wheels are turning Honolulu needs better infrastructure and bikesharing investors

LAUREN TABOR / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

According to data from the City and Council of Honolulu, 2.4 percent commute to work via bicycle.

IRENE FANG STAFF WRITER

Starting in early 2016, Honolulu will join the hundreds of cities around the world adopting bikesharing.

Bikesharing is a service that allows people to rent public bicycles for short distances in the city. Bikes are picked from one station and ridden to another, where the user then returns the bike. The plan aims to reduce traffic and pollution while promoting public fitness, which sounds like a win-win – especially in a small city with congested highways like Honolulu.

Bikesharing is a step in the right direction – towards a more sustainable Honolulu. There are, however, some problems with infrastructure and lack of investment. If Honolulu’s cyclists enjoyed the appropriate bike lanes, adequate funding and partici-

pated in a stronger biking culture (like Western Europe), their mode of transportation would catch on and change the way we all commute. I hope the city and state will advocate that.

MISSING REAL ESTATE

As of 2015, Honolulu has one protected bike lane – King Street. This is not enough for bikesharing.

“We need a minimum grid of protected bikeways, all through urban Honolulu,” Daniel Alexander, director of Hawaii Bicycling League Planning, said to KHON2.

Alexander pointed out that University Avenue, Kalākaua and Downtown Honolulu would benefit the most from having a barrier between vehicular traffic and bikes.

I learned to ride a bike as a young child and still remember how, but I may not be comfortable a few inches away from moving cars. It’s less a

question of skill and more of confidence or nervousness to ride close to fast-paced traffic. Protected lanes would make biking accessible to more people.

Bike in New York City, funded by Citi Bank, and Capital Bike in Washington D.C., sponsored by the Chevy Chase Land Company. Despite McCarney’s optimism, Bikeshare Hawaii does not yet have funding from any major companies.

FUNDING IS NOT THERE YET EITHER Hawai‘i hosts several large busiBikeshare Hawaii, the nonprofit in charge of implementing bikeshar- nesses that could benefit from extra ing in Honolulu, is optimistic after advertising on the roads. Potenreceiving $1 million from the state tial sponsors can be local financial and another million from the City and institutions — Bank of Hawaii, First Hawaiian Bank — or other flagship County of Honolulu: “From the funding standpoint, we companies like Hawaiian Telcom need to raise somewhere between $8 or Hawaiian Electric. Bikesharing million and $10 million, so $2 million needs significant funding to work coming from the city and the state is well, but once it’s popular it will pay very helpful for us to get launched,” off to investors.

Bikeshare Hawaii CEO Lori McCarney told Pacific Business News.

VANDALISM This raises concerns, as most bigCitizens who follow the progress city bikesharing programs enjoy of Bikeshare Hawai‘i also have confinancial support from big compa- cerns about theft and bike vandalnies. For example, there are Citi- ism. However, that is not as big an

issue as the lack of protected bike lanes; theft and vandalism have not proven to be problems in cities like Washington, D.C. and Minneapolis. Bikesharing in Hawai‘i will likely have GPS devices, discouraging abusers.

Having a bikeshare system in place would also eliminate the inconveniences of owning a bike – maintenance, fear of theft and the general hassle of moving it when not riding it (getting it on the bus or walking it down a busy street).

Bikesharing would be great for Honolulu because it would have an impact on people’s health. However, the city should meet basic infrastructure needs and acquire some initial funding before the system can work effectively.

Crime Beat reenactment video LINDSEY APPLETON UH MANOA STUDENT

Once again, I am extremely disappointed with your contribution to making sexual violence and misconduct a laughing matter for sake of views.

I previously wrote you, I believe in spring, about putting the deaths of two students and the alleged rape of another as part of a poll for most noteworthy story. You changed the headline, which I appreciate, but missed the point entirely, which is that nobody should vote on events at the expense of the students and families involved.

Now, an incredibly inappropriate video is up on your Facebook.

The “craziest” recounted story [from Crime Beat] is about a male student

being watched in the shower and masturbated to. This video makes sexual assault into a joke.

Such “harmless” videos contribute to rape culture and tell people that the only consequence to watching and fondling one’s self in public is a funny video and some gossip. Men are subject to rape and sexual harassment like women; imagine if that video had featured a woman showering and a man watching her and touching himself.

Nobody would think that was funny.

Just because the object of the sexual assailant’s gaze was a man and not a woman, it does not make it any less criminal or victimizing.

I’m unsure if the man this happened to is laughing, but that doesn’t really matter. What matters is that, as consent is the word

in the mouths of all college campuses, the “attempts” of UH to make its campus a sexually safe place are negated through posts and stories like this. They make light of rape and sexual assault, which comes in many forms — such as the man on campus who posted pictures of students on a porn site and now this man who, without consent, violated another student’s body, safety and privacy. A locker-room shower experience is just one step away from a “don’t drop the soap” rape joke.

Ka Leo, I urge you to not only think before you post, but educate yourselves on the issues at hand.

As a “voice” of the students, what do you want to be heard? Because all I hear right now is “We’ll do anything for a click.”

COVER STORY

There’s no easy way to say this ATHS S SHOULD SHOU SH OULD LD BE BE WHY CAMPUS DEATHS GH UNIVERSITY EMAIL BROADCASTED THROUGH SHIINA LOSCIUTO STAFF WRITER

The campus should change student death protocols, offer more assistance to those left behind and send a mass email in the case of deaths in the university community.

When communicating a tragedy to the public, UH Mānoa could offer support to the affected, and refer them to resources such as the Counseling and Student Development Center located in the Queen Lili‘uokalani Center. Focusing on honoring the deceased and offering unambiguous support for those left behind, such a system would bring positive outcomes.

ABEL’S STORY

I was coming home on Sept. 9, 2014, when I saw police cars in front of the student housing area. My close friend Abel Pellegrino, who also lived on campus, and I had plans to hang out that night. I found it strange that he hadn’t texted me back for a while, but I didn’t think much of it. I was getting in bed when I texted him about meeting another time. A few minutes later, I received a message; I got up to check it, assuming it was him. It was another friend asking for Abel’s last name; she urged me to come over because she had something to tell me.

My friend said her RA had told her someone named Abel Pellegrino had died from a fall behind the Gateway dorms.

With disbelief, I said I would wait for an official announcement by the school. I assumed an announcement would be ordinary.

I waited all night. Around 3 a.m. I saw Abel’s relatives posting condolences on his Facebook. It was then when I knew his death was real. I felt that I deserved more than finding out from social media.

Much of my story starts with “I heard” – Abel’s death came to me in the form of gossip or hearsay and not as an official statement from the university. I expected to hear of a memorial service or a message of condolence, but I received none.

Instead, a few weeks later I went to the Newman Center, a Catholic Church group, on campus who supported me by offering a service in memory of Abel. I did my best to invite his friends by going through Abel’s Facebook, but I know I did not reach everyone who would have wanted to go. If there were a mass email system, this problem could be avoided. If there was a way the community could be informed of the memorial, or if the university helped organize a service to honor him in some way,

more people who needed closure might have found it.

The pursuit of a better protocol is not about knowing what happened or about glorifying death, but about offering support for those who are left behind and honoring the lives of those who have died.

I hope UH will soon offer its assistance and support for those affected by death in the community no matter how it happened.

SUICIDE CONTAGION

UH Hilo has a death protocol that treats every situation differently, which is also what Mānoa could do in the case of a suicide. The Suicide Prevention Research Center has media guidelines for reporting on suicide death, such as avoiding the word “committed” so suicide is better understood in a behavioral health context, rather than in a criminal one.

“Talking about suicide in a safe way can prevent more deaths from occurring and encourage and normalize help-seeking behavior,” said Kris Bifulco, manager of Pono Youth Program at Mental Health America of Hawai‘ i.

The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) has guidelines UH could follow when reporting deaths. According to its website, “Risk of additional suicides increases when

Talking about suicide in a safe way can prevent more deaths from occuring...

– KRIS BIFULCO MANAGER OF PONO CHOICE PROGRAM

the story explicitly describes the suicide method, uses dramatic or graphic headlines or images, and extensive coverage sensationalizes or glamorizes a death.”

Bilfuco said that the phenomenon of suicide contagion doesn’t mean the conversation should be ignored.

“The key here is to understand safe messaging guidelines and to follow them.

One big part of all guidelines is providing resources for help,” Bilfuco said.

NIMH also has an “Instead of this, do that” chart with examples on better ways to cover suicide, such as providing logos of places people can get help rather than locations of the suicide. NIMH believes that covering suicide in a careful manner would encourage the vulnerable to seek help.

WHY WH Y CA CAMP CAMPUS MP DEATHS SHOULD NOT BE BROADCASTE BROADCASTED THROUGH UNIVERSITY EMAIL CARLY YASHIKI STAFF WRITER

Email is an effective way to disperse information – so effective, that it is terrifying. With the click of a button, thousands could have access to information that could have been kept secret.

Considering deaths on campus, it is understandable that close friends and acquaintances have a right to know as soon as possible. Most importantly, if the deceased is a student, his or her parents should have the final say about how (and if ) the news should be spread.

Suicide is a sensitive subject. When it happens, there should be compassion shown to parents and respect for their wishes, even if it means keeping their child’s death covert. Close friends and family should not be notified through email, but rather through a phone call. Upon registering, students should be advised to take advantage of the opportunity to have multiple emergency contacts. This would acknowledge both relatives and friends.

RELATIVES’ WISHES

Although email may be an efficient way of conveying information, under many circumstances it may come off impersonal and lacking in compassion. Parents may find it unsettling that their child is exposed to attention from people they don’t know.

Allyson Tanouye, head of the Counseling and Student Development Center (CSDC) at the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa, has experience with campus death, including suicide cases, caused by mental illness. In response to students who believe that on-campus death should be broadcast through email, Tanouye emphasized the importance of receiving the approval to do so from parents, guardians or close relatives first.

“If they saw what a grieving family looks like, they would understand,” Tanouye said, referring to those in support of the recent petition calling for changes in the UH death protocol.

EMERGENCY CONTACTS

Upon registration, UH should encourage new students to have more than one emergency contact. We should take into consideration both close friends and family members when deciding who would be the right persons to notify. If an on-campus death does occur, the school can announce the news to relatives and friends via a phone call.

Keeping these two groups separate, however, creates a necessary barrier. If a family member is unaware of their child’s acquaintances, the emergency contact friend would pass the information on to others in their social group. In some cases, the deceased’s family and friends might not get along; this problem is avoided by having two types of emergency contacts.

SUICIDE COPYCATS

Susan Schultz, a professor in UH Mānoa’s English Department, recommends “sending a community wide email twice a semester” to raise awareness of the counseling center in the Queen Lili‘uokalani Center.

“If you’re feeling stressed, [have a] list of symptoms of depression, anxiety, if you’re experiencing these or know someone who

If they saw what a grieving family looks like, they would understand.

– ALLYSON TANOUYE HEAD OF CSDC

is, make an appointment to meet at the counseling center,” Schultz said.

I agree: more people should be made aware that the service is available for students and faculty. Hopefully, by advocating its use, on-campus suicides can be prevented.

Announcement of suicide should be handled with great sensitivity Science shows that exposing someone’s death creates a higher risk for subsequent suicides. A meta-analysis conducted by Wayne State University concluded that real, as opposed to fictional, suicides and those reported in writing, as opposed to video, have more prominent suicide contagion effects.

Suicide contagion, also known as copycat suicide, is the domino effect in which other people tend to commit suicide after hearing about one (via local news, social media, email). As much as possible, we should avoid glamorization and the feeling of inevitability when dealing with suicide.

The thought of someone else who committed suicide might seem like an option for people in a fragile state of mind. This applies not only toward the general community, but also to family members. Troubled people are more likely to take their lives if they see it “legitimized” in an university email.

STEPHANIE KIM STAFF WRITER

Pocha, the Korean word for bar, is similar to an izakaya, or a Japanese drinking establishment. Drinking is a large part of the pocha experience. Thank Q Pocha can be found right next to H&R Block and Bank of Hawaii’s Ala Moana branch on Kapi‘olani Boulevard.

The glass windows are painted with the words “thank you” in various languages, and the walls inside are filled with shelves of American and Korean vinyl albums. When I walked in, I was greeted by a mostly Korean-speaking staff while music blasted overhead. It took my partner and me roughly 30-45 minutes to be seated, since customers stay to drink their fill.

The six-page drink menu is filled with soju, beers, signature cocktails, liquor and wines. We ordered the Shark Attack ($9), a premium cocktail item, and apple soju ($20 for two to three people). Both items were highly recommended by our server and were fun to drink.

The Shark Attack is brought over to your table with a fish bowl-sized cup of blue slushie liquid and a plastic toy shark secretly filled with red slushie liquid. After taking out your phone to record, the server will proceed to “pour the shark” into your drink.

It was fun to watch, but it was a glorified drink that reminded me of a 7-Eleven slushie mixed with vodka. The apple soju tasted much better, probably because I knew what I was getting. The drink was served with hollowed-out apples as cups and was a bit costly for the small amount. It could better serve one or two people, instead of two to three.

Starters include fried mandoo ($6) or buttered corn (6). Some notable specialties are the musubi gamble and a food Russian roulette where one of the musubi has wasabi in it. There are several fried chicken dishes and toppoki, a spicy rice cake with add-ons of cheese or seaweed and mandoo. Other options include “cook your own,” where the dishes, like stir-fried spicy pork and shrimp, are served with a hot plate to cook on. The main entrees range from $10-$35, but you are expected to share food.

We ordered the regular toppoki ($8), Korean popcorn chicken ($16) and kimchee fried pilaf ($15). The toppoki was chewy and too spicy to enjoy. It wasn’t anything special, and I wouldn’t order it again. The Korean popcorn chicken was fried and lathered with a sweet, tangy sauce, and it tasted like it was left in the fryer too long and drenched in an overpowering sweet sauce.

The kimchee fried pilaf is kimchee fried rice surrounded by a gooey melted cheese and topped with an over-easy egg. The fried rice was spicy and had bits of kimchee, spam and bacon, making it a hearty dish. It was definitely the best dish we ordered — it filled us up and was the perfect addition to our drinks.

The service was the best part of dining at Thank Q Pocha. The tables are equipped with call buttons that ensure your server will get to your table when you call them. Because of this, we always had a server within two minutes of calling, and they were helpful with choosing menu items.

Picking up recognition due to its addictive gameplay, “Agar.io” pits players against each other in a competitive contest.

Each player is given a nameable cell to move through the map. The map resembles a square petri dish.

Playing off Darwin’s survival of the fittest, the objective is to grow to the largest cell possible. Throughout the map there are pellets of various colors, which, when eaten, will amplify size. Another way to grow is to devour other players. To do this, the player must be smaller than your own cell. While a larger size allows you to cover more space, your speed will decrease drastically.

Strategy is the main component to do well in “Agar.io.” Along with other players, spiked obstacles, called viruses, should be avoided.

When a cell grows larger than the virus and makes contact with the spikes, the cell will burst into several smaller spheres.

One tactic to avoid this is to divide yourself into more than one cell via the split button. This allows you to maneuver faster and lets you fit between smaller gaps.

The visuals are minimalistic — the variety of colors make the simple design appealing.

Overall, “Agar.io” is a great way to pass the time, but don’t expect a riveting story or a brilliant spectacle. When it comes to attracting players in the most basic way, “Agar. io” gets the job done.

Thanks to its student diversity and strong social media presence, the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa is now one of a few campuses a company is debuting its new music app on.

“Trebel Music” is an app co-developed by high school and college students – designed for their peers who want a full music experience without steep prices.

USING THE APP

RATING

MORE INFO

DEVELOPER Miniclip SA SIZE 25.9 MB PRICE Free

Acquiring music on the app is simple: users create a profile and

purchase an ad-free monthly pass at $4.99 for students, or $9.99 for non-students.

In this system, the time spent watching ads gives users more points to download songs. Once a song is downloaded, the user can listen to it without the need for Wi-Fi. The app also syncs the user’s iTunes music onto the app, so users can integrate old playlists with new music they want to download.

TARGETING STUDENTS

Gary Mekikian, founder and CEO of M&M Media, said “Trebel Music” is targeted especially to college students, of whom he says make up

The app allows college students to turn their love for music into an active way to bond with other people around campus... select music from a various assortment of songs from different genres. Once a song is selected, users can “buy” the song using virtual currency they acquire from watching advertisements placed throughout the app. Listeners can

most of the people who only use the free versions of popular music sites like Spotify or Pandora.

According to Spotify’s data release in early 2015, about 75 percent of all users were using the free version of the mobile app, which

allows them to listen to music, but not decide the exact song they want to listen to.

However, with “Trebel Music,” students can listen to selectable songs and don’t run out of “skips.” By using college focus groups, “Trebel Music” has taken out this hassle, while combining components of various other music and social media applications in order to create a full package that is appealing to students and their budget.

The app allows college students to turn their love for music into an active way to bond with other people around campus, similar to social media sites. When students enter the name of the college they’re attending, “Trebel Music” will offer a category for the top downloaded tracks, personalized for their campus and area. Users can also become friends, see what songs they’re listening to and follow others.

Another feature of the app allows students to watch the music video to a particular song without having to close the app and search for it on a web browser.

When selecting a song, the option to view the music video is dis-

played on the top of the page, and students are directly linked to the music video from YouTube while still on the “Trebel Music” app.

The company worked with college interns and focus groups to develop the app.

Currently, the app, which gives students easy access to music on demand, is only available on certain campuses.

The app is now available at trebel.io/dl and can be found by searching “Trebel Music” in the Apple app store.

Devan Stubblefield and Jerrol Garcia-Williams were instrumental in UH’s 47-27 victory over UC Davis.

No nonsense offense

SHANE GRACE / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

The Warriors finally came out to play DAVID MCCRACKEN SPORTS EDITOR

The last time the University of Hawai’i Rainbow Warrior football team scored more than 47 points in a game dates back to November 30, 2013 when the Warriors scored 49 points against Army - a game in which they won 49-42.

This past Saturday, UH was able to deliver with a 47-27 victory against UC Davis at Aloha Stadium. Things started slowly for UH, as they could only muster up field goals until the end of the first half. But once the offense got going, it was difficult for the Aggies to stop UH from scoring.

[Stubblefield] proved in this game that we have the depth and that we can trust anybody behind anybody so I think him having a great game, puts a lot of trust into the offense and into the receivers,” said Kemp.

Kemp went over the century mark for the second time this season but for Stubblefield, it was the first time he scored a touchdown and hit the century mark in receiving as a Warrior.

“I haven’t played for a year – I’ve been injured,” Stubblefield said.

who did that? Skippy Davis.

“It’s new to me,” said Harris after he was told that he set a new UH rushing record. “It feels great. [My teammates] did their job and I just followed up on them. That really goes to them.”

It wasn’t just about Harris, however, as his teammate Melvin Davis also rushed for the first two touchdowns of his career. In the two games combined against Ohio State and Colorado, the Warriors ran for

It feels great. [My teammates] did their job and I just followed up on them. That really goes to them.

JUST LIKE OLD TIMES

Since 2001, Hawai’i is 13-1 against FCS teams and have won these contests by an average of 30 points a game while scoring an average of 46 points per game. In four of those 13 wins, UH has scored 60 or more points. The game was reminiscent of the winning seasons that UH enjoyed up until the 6-7 season in 2011.

UH totaled 465 yards of total offense and had two receivers go over the century mark in receiving yardage. Marcus Kemp and Devan Stubblefield hauled in 119 and 108 yards, respectively, on the game.

Both players also scored touchdowns, but what made this even more intriguing was that this game marked the first time that UH had two receivers go over 100 yards receiving since 2010 when Greg Salas and Royce Pollard accomplished the feat against Tulsa.

“We had two players out, but I think

– PAUL HARRIS RUNNING BACK

“The big man upstairs gave me an opportunity tonight and I had an opportunity against Ohio State...as a unit, as an offense, we executed.”

RUNNING MAN

The 1955 UH football team was honored before Saturday night’s matchup against UC Davis. One of the players from that team that was honored was former Warrior running back Skippy Davis.

The crowd at Aloha Stadium applauded Davis and the former Warrior players, but no tribute was greater than what running back Paul Harris did in the second half.

Harris ran 95 yards for a touchdown, the longest run in UH football history, breaking an 87 yard run set back in 1955. The running back

180 yards. This past Saturday, UH ran for 193 yards against the Aggies.

RELAXED MAX

Warriors quarterback Max Wittek gave his best performance for UH against UC Davis. He started the game 5-5 for 63 yards in the first quarter and continued that accuracy throughout the game, finishing 17-24 for 272 yards. His 70 percent completion percentage was almost as impressive as his two touchdowns with zero interceptions. It marked the first game in Wittek’s college career (that dates back to USC) that he didn’t throw an interception in a game in which he has attempted 23 or more passes.

Wittek stood strong in the pocket and even scrambled a couple of

NEXT GAME

times to pick up crucial yardage to move the chains. Although he was sacked twice and was hit on the majority of his dropbacks, Wittek did not commit any errors that would often plague the Warriors.

QUESTION MARKS ON DEFENSE

This may come as a surprise because of how much UH’s defense has improved, even dating back to last season, but the Aggies found a way to weaken the Warriors frontseven. The visitors rushed for 179 yards on UH while quarterback Ben Scott threw for 233 yards on 18-25 passing. The Warriors registered zero sacks on the game, but Kennedy Tulimaseali was able to get into the backfield on a couple of occasions, recording two tackles for a loss.

Jerrol Garcia-Williams led UH with a career high 15 tackles, but the biggest defensive play actually came on special teams when DeJuan Butler blocked a punt, scooped up the loose ball and returned it for a touchdown. It marked the second time that UH has blocked a punt this season and the first time that UH has returned a blocked punt for a touchdown since 2012.

The Warriors will travel to Madison, Wisconsin for Saturday’s matchup against the University of Wisconsin Badgers. The Badgers, who are ranked as high as 21st in the nation, are entering this game against the Warriors after beating their last two opponents by a combined 86-3.

Jerrol Garcia-Williams

The longest yard Season ending injuries haven’t stopped these Warriors from coming back

Devan Stubblefield SHANE GRACE/ KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

Devan Stubblefield and Jerrol Garcia-Williams were instrumental in UH’s 47-27 victory over UC Davis DREW AFUALO STAFF WRITER

For Warrior starting linebacker Jerrol Garcia-Williams and wide receiver Devan Stubblefield, their worst nightmares came true in 2014 when they each sustained an injury that would put them on the sidelines for the entire season.

Although both players received their diagnosis at different times, the traumatic effect was all the same. “[The injury] is real mental though,” Stubblefield said. “Once you get the physical part down and your knee is good, you’re still thinking about everything you went through.”

These Warriors each suffered a torn meniscus, as well as their anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).

The ACL is an important, internal stabilizer of the knee joint that prevents injuries like hyperex-

tension. This tends to occur when the limit of the ligament is overstretched or hyper-extended and most common amongst athletes, especially at higher, more competitive levels.

The recovery process is what handicaps most athletes, as most ACL tears require serious knee surgery, as well as months of rehabilitation. This healing process can range anywhere from five months to a year and half. Each patient is different, but Stubblefield and Garcia-Williams continued to push through the physical and mental obstacles that plagued them.

“Normally the minimum time for recovery is five months, so they already had me out for the [2014] season,” Stubblefield said.

Unfortunately, Stubblefield suffered from his injury in fall camp last year. Garcia-Williams, on the other hand, sustained his ACL tear

while playing in the second game of the 2014 season against Oregon State, after a tackle.

Warrior head coach Norm Chow watched Garcia-Williams and Stubblefield through this process and sees them as pivotal assets to the team.

“It’s so nice to have them [Garcia-Williams and Stubblefield] back - we need everybody we

Garcia-Williams was a key player in his past three years playing for the Warriors, in addition to being successful on the gridiron in high school. This past Saturday night against UC Davis, he recorded a career high 15 tackles. Getting back to this level of play, however, wasn’t easy for Garcia-Williams.

“I had to watch a lot more film,”

It’s so nice to have them back - we need everybody we can possibly have.

– NORM CHOW HEAD COACH

can possibly have,” Chow said.

“We have a long season ahead of us and have lost a couple guys already. But we just need to stay together, continue working hard and take advantage of every healthy body we got.”

Garcia-Williams said. “I had to work on my technique, my footwork — stuff like that. I missed football.

Just watching everybody wanted me to get back on the field.”

Although Stubblefield did not get a chance to play his first year

at UH, he did shine at Saint Louis high school, before he graduated in 2014. Against UC Davis on Saturday, Stubblefield Wcaught six passes for 108 yards and hauled in his first career touchdown.

“I haven’t played for a year – I’ve been injured,” Stubblefield said.

“The big man upstairs gave me an opportunity tonight.”

Although both players have had their share of football success against a major setback, it doesn’t change how they feel about the game of football. The only thing that has changed is their elevated motivation to constantly become a better football player after recovery and secure their spot to represent their team on the field.

“It’s just such a blessing to be back on the field, especially after all that rehab,” Garcia-Williams said. “I am still working to get better every day though.”

‘Controlled enthusiasm’ Season ending injuries haven’t stopped these Warriors from coming back DAVID MCCRACKEN SPORTS EDITOR

On Sept. 8th, Ashleigh Karaitiana got a new lease on her basketball life.

Rainbow Wahine basketball head coach Laura Beeman announced in a press release two weeks ago that Karaitiana would be returning to the team for the 2015-2016 season after the NCAA granted her an extra year of eligibility.

“As of last year, we were convinced that [Karaitiana] was done,” said Beeman. “We had looked at the NCAA rules and regulations concerning her situation, and I was actually out recruiting this past summer and was talking with a coach who had a very similar situation with a kid from Australia. I said, ‘wait a second, you

were able to get her year back. How were you able to do this?’ So when I came back I immediately went to the compliance office and said ‘look, there’s been a rule change, can we really investigate this?’”

Beeman, along with her assistant coach Mary Wooley, shuffled through paperwork with the University of Hawai‘i compliance office to get Karaitiana back on the court.

“We asked Ashleigh to provide a couple of documents for us, went through compliance, and all of the sudden we started to think that this may be a real possibility,” Beeman said. “Then all of the sudden, we were almost convinced that we were going to get her year back. So we kind of had a very controlled enthusiasm, because you never know. We didn’t

keep Ashleigh in the loop because we didn’t want to get her hopes up.”

Karaitiana wasn’t permitted to work out and practice with the team, so she had to work out by herself to stay in shape on the off chance that she could play for one more year.

“It was Richard Greene from compliance that walked in here and said ‘Coach, we got her whole year back.’

And I think I picked him up off the ground – I might’ve swung him around in a circle,” said Beeman.

“After that we called Ashleigh in and I tried to keep that somber look on my face and Richard was in here and I said ‘Sorry for putting you through all of this, but you got your year back!’ And she screamed and called her dad in on a conference call and I could hear him scream from

Australia. We were all very excited.”

The excitement for Karaitiana to return to the court is only equaled by the excitement surrounding this year’s Wahine squad. Megan Huff recently announced that she will be focusing on basketball, leaving the Wahine volleyball team this season while Kalei Adolpho, after taking a year off, will be returning the team this year.

“I feel very blessed and honored to have the privilege to continue my basketball career as a Rainbow Wahine at the University of Hawai‘i,” Karaitiana said in a press release. “A big thank you to my coaching staff and Richard Greene [Compliance Office] for making this opportunity possible. I am ecstatic to be able to represent the state of

Hawai‘ i, play in front of our awesome fans and play alongside my teammates for the upcoming season. I look forward to getting back on the floor and making this an experience I will never forget.”

Last season’s senior night was a moment that Karaitiana said she would never forget when she saw her family perform the haka at the Stan Sheriff Center.

When asked about her plans to send off Karaitiana on senior night for a second time, Beeman laughed and said “I’m not even thinking about that right now. But I guess it’s better to give someone two senior nights than just one.”
