After months of anticipation, it is fi nally that time again. Hawai‘i football is back at last, and Ka Leo welcomes you to its fi rst Gridiron issue of the year. The Gridiron is a special edi-tion of Ka Leo that runs before every UH home game of the sea-son. Whether you are a die-hard who bleeds green and white or can’t tell between a tight end and an end zone, the Gridiron has you covered. Everything that you need to know about the upcoming game can be found in the Gridiron. Just turn a few pages to fi nd out who this year’s key players are or which freshman you should look out for. While each issue of the Grid-iron is packed with stats, news and predictions about the Rainbow Warriors and their opponents, we also recognize that football

games are about much more than the action on the fi eld. The fans, and especially the student section, are the reason that football is the most popular collegiate sport in the nation. The Gridiron aims to pro-vide content that will enhance this experience inside and out of the stadium. Find out this year’s plans for the Mānoa Maniacs student sec-tion and how they plan on giving the Rainbow Warriors some home fi eld advantage. And, of course, stock up on tips for a Heisman-worthy tailgate party. The players are strapping on their pads. The cheerleaders are practicing their routines. The band is memorizing its marching. Now it’s time for you to set up the Solo cups, read up with Ka Leo and get ready for some football.

UH vs. USC

PL AYERS TO KEEP AN EYE ON

Hawai‘i: Taylor Graham The former Buckeye will try to lead the team’s of-fense past its disappointing previous season. Graham isa pro-style quarterback with a strong arm that has gener-ated a lot of excitement in the offseason training camp.His play will be essential to the Rainbow Warriors’ successthis season as he looks to carry out Chow’s system to abetter offensive performance.

USC: Marqise Lee The junior wide receiver and kickoff returner will return this season to head the Trojan attack. Lee fi n-ished fourth in the Heisman Trophy balloting and is set to be one of the favorites for this year’s award. The reigning Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Year al-ready shares or holds 22 USC records.

The Rainbow Warriors open their second stint under head coach Norm Chow with a huge task: taking down No. 24 USC. Hawai‘i will look to avenge last year’s 49-10 loss to the then-No. 1 Trojans. Opening the season against a ranked opponent provides the Rainbow Warriors an opportunity to put Hawai’i on the college football map.

“That’s what you want as a D-I program – youwant to be able to showcase against the best,” se-nior safety John Hardy-Tuliau said. “We’re comingout there against the best, and we will prove our-selves against the best.” Hawai’i will look to show a strong perfor-mance against USC as it prepares for its secondseason in the Mountain West Conference. Thefirst season under Chow yielded a disappointing3-9 overall record and a 1-7 conference record.

Gridiron: Top SixJoey RamirezSports Editor

While the introduction of newcomers such as quarterback Taylor Gra-ham and running back Steven Lakalaka have Rainbow Warrior fans feeling optimistic for the upcoming season, these returning players are looking to lead the way to redemption after last year’s 3-9 campaign.

SCOTT HARDING (WR, JUNIOR)Harding did it all for Hawai‘i last season by play-ing receiver, returning punts, holding the ball for fi eld goals and even punting for three games. The Australian averaged 12.8 yards per return, which earned him Phil Steele’s second-team All-Mountain West honors. He also placed second amongst War-riors with 20 receptions and 321 yards.

ART LAUREL (LB, SENIOR)Laurel started 11 games last season, more than any returning Rainbow Warrior. He also led Hawai‘i with 13.5 tackles for loss, including four sacks. Along with Jackson, he is UH’s most reliable defender, as shown by his 51 total and 33 solo tackles.

JOHN HARDY-TULIAU (DB, SENIOR)Hardy-Tuliau led last year’s squad with three interceptions, in-cluding one that he returned for a touchdown. The senior was also responsible for half of UH’s four blocked kicks on the year. He added 42 tackles and broke up six passes, which was the most amongst returning Rainbow Warriors.

CHRIS GANT (WR, SENIOR)Despite starting just three games last season, Gant made a solid impression during his fi rst year at Hawai‘i by hauling in 22 passes for 232 yards. Having played in 11 of UH’s 12 games, the Long Beach, Calif., native also led all receivers with three trips to the end zone.

TYLER HADDEN (PK, JUNIOR)The ‘Bows’ placekicker showed steady improve-ment by hitting 13 of his 21 fi eld goal attempts af-ter converting on just 50 percent during his fresh-man season. Hadden also drilled six attempts of 40 yards or more on nine tries, while connecting on all 29 extra point opportunities.

MARRELL JACKSON (DB, SOPHOMORE)Jackson played like a veteran in his freshman season by lead-ing the team with 56 tackles, including 40 solo stops. He also showed off his ability to create big plays by forcing two fum-bles, recovering one and blocking a kick.

In sports, coaches always have a couple of players that they call “reliable.” Often, this player is one who coaches praise for work-ing hard, giving effort and making their teammates better. Meet senior defensive lineman Siasau Matagiese. The native of Waimea, Kaua‘i, better known as “Saui” by coaches and teammates, has emerged as the unquestioned leader of the Rainbow Warriors and the defensive line. “He makes my job a little bit easi-er,” defensive line coach Lewis Powell said. “Instead of just telling the guys what to do, I can tell them, ‘Here, this is what you’re supposed to do.’ He’s a senior. He knows what it takes to get it done on and off the fi eld.”

BECOMING A RAINBOW WARRIOR The road to the Rainbow War-

riors hasn’t been an easy one for Matagiese. After graduating from

Waimea High School, Matagiese attended Portland State for a year before transferring to Hawai‘i. Mata-giese sat out a season due to NCAA transfer rules, then earned time as a backup in his sophomore year. He got a starting role as a junior, but injuries robbed him of playing time, costing him a pair of games. Still, he is grateful for the lessons he learned during that time. “I wouldn’t trade that experi-ence for the world,” Matagiese said. “I got to see many places and meet new players and play under some great coaches. And right now, I get to play under some even better coaches. I feel that it’s an honor to play under Coach (Norm)Chow and his staff.”

LEADING BY EXAMPLE Earlier this year, Matagiese was named to the team’s leader-ship council, a collection of play-ers elected by the team to repre-sent the squad.

“As a leader, he shows every-body how to do things,” Powell said. “He’s always the fi rst in line. He’s a good leader on and off the fi eld. He gets good grades, and he takes good care of his body in the training room.” That type of dedication by Mat-agiese stems from his perception of what being a leader truly means. “A lot of people say it’s natu-ral and that leaders are born, not made,” Matagiese said. “But for me, I take it on my shoulders as a big responsibility. When I’m out there, I can’t make any mistakes. Coaches always say that before you can cor-rect someone else, you have to make sure that you’re doing the right things and that you’re doing your job to the best of your abilities. So for me, I take it as a huge responsibility to make sure that I have myself down fi rst before I correct anyone else or help the coaches.” Outside of football, Matagiese has found himself continuing his

leadership roles with a different set of people, as he has spent a portion of the summer working at Palama Settlement in Kalihi. “Once the kids fi nd out what you do, they embrace you, but they also hold you to high stan-dards,” Matagiese said. “They let you know that they look up to you. Everything you do off the fi eld as well affects those kids. When I’m out with my friends or out around town, I remember to hold myself accountable for my actions. Especially because I know that the younger genera-tions are looking up to me.”

FINAL CAMPAIGN This season, Matagiese has exited fall camp entrenched as a starter on the defensive line and has earned the respect of all those around him. “He’s exciting to watch be-cause he plays with good pas-sion and energy, and I think he’ll

be good for us this season,” Powell said. “He’s going to con-tinue to be a leader. Hopefully he remains healthy, and every-thing should be fi ne.” But statistics and honors mean little compared to how he handles his role as a leader. “I’m so excited to see not how I do, but how the team does,” Mata-giese said. “Everyone is killing it in the offseason and the summer. We even had guys living with each other so they could be here to make the workouts. That shows how seri-ous everyone was taking this sea-son, especially me. “But I just have to lead this team. I have to take control when it’s needed. I’m going to lead these boys through the season not only when it’s easy, but when things get hard on us. My biggest goal is only mak-ing sure this team does good. Everyone deserves it because they’ve all been working hard.”

Toward the end of last season, the stu-dent section at Aloha Stadium began to grow empty. The list of reasons by students also began to grow, with excuses like “I don’t have a ride” or “I don’t have friends to go with” or even “It’s boring, and I have nothing to do there.” In an effort to combat those excuses and get students back at the games, the UH ath-letics department and the Mānoa Maniacs are now offering a tailgate area designated for only UH students at the stadium. “We’re trying to get the students engaged in school spirit,” said Cory En-riques, marketing assistant for the athlet-

ics department. “We’re trying to give them something to do that let them meet other students and interact. We’re trying to get them out there to support the team and the program and just build some excitement and tradition for them.” The plan is to offer students a new ex-perience at football games to keep them entertained. “They’re going to have a huge area near the entrance to the stadium where dif-ferent student groups like KTUH will have deejays, live bands and be able to serve food and beverages there, including alco-hol,” Enriques said. “There will only be one entrance/exit for students, where they will have to show their student ID to get in and their personal IDs if they want to drink. The

vendor will be Centerplate, who will be sup-plying the service. “In the tailgate area, there will be lots of activities for the students. I know one of the games they were thinking of was Monster Pong, which is like beer pong with buckets and whiffl e balls instead. So students will get a chance to enter a drawing to participate in the games. There’s hopefully going to be some tables and chairs there for them to sit, but it will be free for UH Manoa students, and only UH students will be allowed in the area.” Those aren’t the only perks being of-fered to UH students. “Right outside the tailgate area, there’s going to be a parking lot area that we have blocked off,” Enriques said. “There’s going to be 250 stalls, so students coming to the

game can park there. As long as they havetwo or more students in their car, they canget in and park in the lot for free. “We’ll also be set up near when the bus-es drop off students. The bus service will bebringing students from the UH campus andthe dorms, so there will be no excuse for stu-dents who don’t have a ride to the stadium.” After last season’s disappointing studentattendance, Enriques said he hopes that thiswill help spark a revival in the student body. “The UH athletic department purchasedthe area for the students,” Enriques said. “Wehave this area, so now it’s up to the students tocome out and fi ll it.” For those not driving, buses to thegame will depart at 3:30 p.m. from DoleStreet in front of Frear Hall.

Mānoa Maniacs to offer ‘tailgate area’ at Aloha Stadium

ALEX BITTER

As University of Hawai‘i System Pres-ident MRC Greenwood enters the final days of her tenure as the university’s top administrator, it ’s unclear what her plans are for the immediate future. Although more than a month has passed since the Board of Regents approved a year-long leave of absence and a part-time position on UH’s medical research faculty for Greenwood, no details about what the president will do during her time away from campus have been divulged. “The specifi cs of what she will be do-ing during her year’s unpaid leave from UH and during the projected annual six months away from the UH medical school have not been determined at this time,” UH spokes-woman Lynne Waters said in an email. Under the deal approved at the Board’s July 18 meeting, Greenwood will take a one

year unpaid leave of absence as soon as In-terim President-designate David Lassner takes over the position on Sept. 1. The deal also included a place at UH’s John A. Burns School of Medicine, where Greenwood is expected to aid in the cre-ation of a center to study diabetes and obesity at the school. That faculty researcher position in-cludes an annual salary of $293,640, but the outgoing president will receive only half of that each year because she has agreed to work only half of each year at JABSOM. At just less than $147,000, Green-wood’s salary will be a fraction of the current $475,000 that is paid to serve as UH’s president. The new rate will put her at or close to the top of the pay scale at the medical school, where the median annual salary for a full professor is $202,019, ac-cording to data in the UH Professional As-sembly’s Salary Comparison Database.

Although Greenwood explained in an email announcing her resignation last spring that she looks forward to having time to spending time with her family, “to write, teach and do some policy work,” university officials declined to provide specifics on what she will do for six months out of the year. Greenwood, who resigned as the Provost for the University of California System after allegedly creating jobs for family and friends within that institution before coming to UH, is spending her final days as president attending special events in honor of her retirement, including a kīpaepae ho‘oku‘u, or “release ceremony,” held at UH Hilo on Aug. 23. Meanwhile, the Board of Regents is mov-ing ahead with the search for Greenwood’s replacement, indicating that they may try to fi nd a qualifi ed candidate with “a strong con-nection to Hawai‘i” before looking for candi-dates outside of the state.

Peace to the ‘War on Styrofoam’Peace to the ‘War on Styrofoam’

DOORAE SHIN

Staff Writer

Say hello to the first semester since the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa campus banned expand-ed polystyrene foam products at dining locations. EPS foam, better known as Styrofoam, has been a hot topic recently, as hundreds of cities, counties and even countries like Haiti and China are passing bans and regulations on the controver-sial product. Just a few months ago, styrene, a main component in EPS foam, was classifi ed as “reasonably anticipated to be car-cinogenic.” It was also directly linked to neurological and respi-ratory illnesses. EPS foam is one of the most commonly littered products, and it is almost never recycled; in most cases, it isn’t even recy-clable. A lightweight product, EPS foam fl ies away and breaks into small pieces easily, making it harder to clean up and easier for animals to ingest. Last February, the front page of Ka Leo focused on Styrofoam at UH Mānoa while a petition was gaining momentum throughout

the spring semester. The same day that article ran, Chancellor Tom Apple and the administration responded in support of a potential ban on EPS foam at UH Mānoa. As students of the Surfrider Foundation at UH Mānoa cam-paigned for support, gaining more than 1,000 signatures on-line and in paper, a draft policy was written with the help of the Mānoa Sustainability Council. With input from all stake-holders on campus including Food Services, Sodexo and the Chancellor’s Offi ce, as well as input from experts and commu-nity members from organizations such as Styrophobia and the Sur-frider Foundation, a policy was submitted for approval. The “War on Styrofoam” lasted a few months and came to a peaceful end. On April 2, a pol-icy was approved, and the ban on EPS foam was passed just in time to kick off Earth Month. Immedi-ate changes may not be seen, but in writing, the policy requires all new vendors to provide food service products other than EPS foam, giving priority to encour-aging reusable and compostable (plant-based) products. Current

vendors can only renew contracts by agreeing to the new policy. So, though we may see Styrofoam around campus here and there, be assured that it will be gone soon enough. As a state, Hawai‘i’s move-ment toward environmental stewardship is more apparent than ever before. We are the first state to ban plastic bags, and there is an ever-growing use of renewable energy in homes and businesses. Attempts have been made to ban EPS foam at the state level earlier this year, and environmentalists across the state will continue to push for similar initiatives in the future. With attempts to make UH Mānoa a model for sustainabili-ty, there is a strong commitment to environmental justice that is growing every year. With a sys-tem-wide sustainability policy in the works for all of UH, policies like this are part of the future of our campus and campuses across the islands.

Styrofoam manufac-turers said the De-partment of Health’s report that styrene could cause cancer was “completely un-justifi ed by the latest science,” according to ABC News.

GRIDIRON


Blake TolentinoWeb Specialist

Last season, the beginning of the Norm Chow era ushered in sweeping changes to the identity of the Univer-sity of Hawai‘i football team. Once known for its explosive “run ‘n shoot” offense, the team struggled to adapt to the dras-tic changes in philosophy Chow brought with him. One major change was the new focus on the ground game in lieu of the previous regime’s all-out passing attack. However, the running game was inconsistent. Now, with two of last year’s top three rushers no longer on the team and returning starter Joey Iosefa possibly side-lined for the season opener with a foot injury, two fresh faces will look to make an immediate impact.

FRESHENING UP THE BACKFIELD Running backs Steven Lakala-ka and Aofaga Wily join the Rain-bow Warriors after impressive senior campaigns in high school. Lakalaka enters as a former Ga-torade Hawai‘i Football Player of the Year, coming off of a 1,154-yard season with 12 touchdowns on 218 carries. Wily, meanwhile, was even more dominant at Kahuku High School with 1,744 rushing yards and 27 touchdowns on the season, earning recognition as the state’s Offensive Player of the Year. As remarkable as their high-school performances were, fac-ing USC in their college debut presents a signifi cant rise in competition. With the numerous offseason losses to the running back corps, both freshmen will need to adjust to the speed and physicality of the college game

immediately if the Rainbow War-riors hope to start the season with a solid offensive perfor-mance after last season’s disap-pointing output.

BUILT TO RUN Fortunately for UH, it seems that both running backs come equipped with the physical tools to shine. Lakalaka and Wily pro-vide tangible upgrades in speed in the place of Iosefa and should provide the offense with a couple of dangerous weapons. Lakalaka has the build to perform a variety of duties, with enough strength to power inside and enough quickness to get to the edge, while Wily’s agility provides a perfect counter point to the bruising downhill running that Iosefa provides. Combined, the three give Chow a multitude of options in the backfi eld, with each presenting unique chal-lenges for opposing defenses. Chow’s offense focuses heav-ily on the rushing attack, both as a primary source of offense and also for setting up the pass-ing game. As the running game goes, so does the rest of the of-fense. With Iosefa still recovering from injury, Lakalaka and Wily will likely be relied upon to keep the offense going and will need to turn in strong performances if UH hopes to win early.
