WEEKLY NEWS

Largest structure in universe spotted by UH astronomers

A team of astronomers led by a University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa researcher may have discovered the largest known structure in the universe, accord-ing to a study in Oxford Journals.

Dr. István Szapudi of the Institute for Astronomy at the UH Mānoa and a team of astronomers “discov-ered a large supervoid, a vast region 1.8 billion light-years across, in which the density of galaxies is much lower than usual in the known universe.”

The region, or Cold Spot, is “a larger-than-expected unusually cold area of the sky.”

The Cold Spot may be “the largest individual struc-ture ever identifi ed by humanity,” Szapudi said.

The team of researchers used data from Hawai‘i’s Pan-STARRS (PS1) telescope located on Haleakalā, Maui, and NASA’s Wide-Field Survey Explorer (WISE) satellite.

According to the report, if the Cold Spot “ is caused by a foreground structure between Earth and the CMB [cosmic microwave background], it would be a sign that there is an extremely rare large-scale structure in the mass distribution of the universe.”

The team will continue its study of the Cold Spot using data from the Maui telescope and from the Dark Energy Survey using a telescope in Chile.

Students identify UH Mānoa voyeur

A male suspected of photographing women on the University of Hawai‘ i Mānoa campus and posting the photos online has been identifi ed, according to the Department of Public Safety.

“A number of students came forward and through the information provided by those students, they were able to identify this person of interest,” UH spokesper-son Dan Meisenzahl said.

According to UH offi cials on April 20, reports sur-faced of a male holding his phone, snapping photos of women and posting them on a pornographic web-site. Since then, photos of the women have been taken down from the website.

Sand volleyball sends off seniors with sweep

The No. 2 Rainbow Wahine sand volleyball team closed out its fi nal home game with a trio of victo-ries over Hawai‘ i Pacifi c University, Grand Canyon and San Jose State. Hawai‘ i honored seniors Olivia Urban, Brittany Tiegs and Sammie Brown.

The annual Outriggers Invitational started at 12 p.m. on Sunday, with Hawai‘ i facing off against HPU and sweeping the Sharks 5-0, not allowing more than 11 points in one set.

In one of fi ve wins against the Sharks, the UH pair Hannah Rooks and London Chow defeated HPU’s Kara Wong and Haley Doerfl er. Rooks got an impres-sive 18 digs and 14 kills, while Chow tallied 16 digs and nine kills.

The Rainbow Wahine also went up against the Grand Canyon Antelopes, topping them 4-1. The pair-ing of Kaiwi Schucht with Mikayla Tucker beat GCU’s Brooke Razo and Alex Green. Schucht recorded 11 digs and 12 kills for the Wahine, while Tucker tallied 18 digs and 15 kills, helping to secure the win.

Next up, the ‘Bows went up against San Jose State, defeating the Spartans 4-1. This included the pairing of Rooks and Chow beating Sarah Hibbs and Yavian-ilz Rosado of SJSU.

This is where Rooks recorded an impressive 13 digs and 31 kills, while Chow recorded 11 digs and nine kills for the ‘Bows. Along with that, the pairing of Schucht with Tucker was once again on fi re, racking up points for the Rainbow Wahine. Schucht recorded an impressive 14 digs and 14 kills, while Tucker recorded an equally impressive 18 digs and 12 kills.

The Rainbow Wahine closed out senior night with two televised matches. It started with the pair-ing of senior Olivia Urban with junior Katie Spieler, who managed to top SJSU’s Jamie Hirai and Allison Morgan. Spieler was fi ring on all cylinders with an impressive 24 kills and 15 digs, while Urban upheld their momentum with eight kills, nine digs and two blocks. The duo was able to close off the set easy by winning 21-7, 21-15.

The next match, however, UH was unable to keep up with the heat, as the pairing of senior Brittany Tiegs and senior Sammie Brown fell to GCU’s Shan-non Dugan and MacKenzie Phillips, 21-19, 21-18.

Hawai‘ i is scheduled to play one more match before heading off to Gulf Shores, Alabama, for the annual AVCA National Championships.

Their next match will be during the annual Aloha Invitational held at Queen’s Beach this weekend in Waikīkī.

Rainbow Wahine golfer in second place after fi rst round of Big West championships

A Rainbow Wahine junior was in second place after the first-round play of the Big West Confer-ence Women’s Golf Championships, Sunday, at the El Macero Country Club.

UH player Nichole Cruz shot a career-low 2-under-par 70. She is two strokes back of fi rst-round leader Blair Lewis of UC Davis. The California native recorded four birdies and two bogies for the day.

Overall, Hawai‘ i is in second place with a 3-over-par 291. The Wahine trailed UC Davis by three strokes (even-par 288).

UH players Raquel Ek and Marie Donnici joined Cruz in the top 10. Ek shot an even-par 72 to end the day at sixth place, while Donnici shot a 2-over-par 74 and was tied for eighth.

On April 29, the Department of Public Safety (DPS) at the Univer-sity of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa will be able to respond to students via a cell phone app.

The Rave Guardian app is avail-able on both Apple and Android platforms. Students can create an account using their UH email address, which confi gures the user’s interface for the Mānoa cam-pus. Still, the app is not limited to UH students – anyone, including family, can create an account.

“Lots of large campuses just the same size as ours use this app and have had really great success with it, so we’re really excited to get this started and to have another way for students to not only get in touch with us, but to take ownership of their safety and their friends’ safety,” said Sarah Rice, DPS com-munity programs manager.

She said DPS had been explor-ing the possibility of an app to bet-ter connect campus security with students for about six months and ultimately chose Rave Guardian. If the app works well for UH Mānoa, DPS expects that other UH cam-puses may follow suit.

According to the Rave Mobile Safety website, thousands of col-leges and universities are currently clients.

While students can download the app and set up accounts now, Rice stressed that DPS dispatchers would not be available to respond until April 29.

HOW IT WORKSFirst, users must set up one or

more “guardian,” or the individ-ual that will be responsible for responding in case of an emer-gency. Guardians can be imported from a cell phone contact list.

One function of the app is the safety timer, which works by allow-ing the user to choose a guardian and set a timer. If the user fails to turn off the timer before it expires, the guardian is alerted and the cell phone’s location shows up on a map, as long as location services are enabled.

Rice noted the safety timer func-tion would work well on a date or when walking alone. The app can also be used off campus, how-ever she said that students should select a guardian other than DPS, since they only respond to alerts at UH Mānoa.

The app’s “Emergency” page allows users to call DPS or 911 at the touch of a button. Users can also send DPS a text message tip and attach a photo.

Though Rave Guardian works to keep students safe by sharing their phone’s location, Rice said users’ privacy is protected, and DPS can only see their location if they choose to share it.

“The only time we ever see you on a map is when you call us, you text us, or if your safety timer expires, then you’ll show up on our map. Otherwise, our screen is blank and we have no way of looking peo-ple up,” she said.

Rice also said the app will make it easier for DPS to locate students who are unfamiliar with campus landmarks.

Free textbooks coming to some UH summer courses

Syllabi for 80 courses will include no-cost textbooksMARCOS DUPREYIRAOLA

STAFF WRITER

A new UH initiative may save students as much as $240,000 annually by coordinating free textbooks for 80 summer courses.

According to William G. Chismar, dean of the Outreach College, the Open Education Resources (OER) Initiative came from the over 900 online courses that the Univer-sity of Hawai‘ i provides through-out the year.

Last school year, the Outreach College conducted a study which found that if every student in the system purchased the books needed for each course, students would spend approximately $25 million. That cost motivated Chis-mar and his staff to establish the OER Initiative over the course of a year.

As a joint effort with all of the University of Hawai‘ i campuses throughout the state, students are able to register with any UH cam-pus that provides the courses stu-dents need.

Faculty who agree to partici-pate in the program must choose materials for their courses that are already available for free to stu-dents, Chismar said.

For now, the initiative is limited to summer courses.

BENEFITS OF ZERO TEXTBOOK COSTS

“I think it’s a great initiative, since textbooks are often a burden-some cost,” Biology Professor Lisa M. Vallin said in an email.

Vallin said some courses require books that cannot easily be replaced by free material. But, she said, having zero textbook-cost courses gives students the option

to enroll in courses that do not add onto their tuition and univer-sity fees. She believes that these options should be used as often as possible.

“I think that if more students have access to the content that they are learning, this in turn will have a positive effect on their learning,” she said.

Biochemistry Professor Harry Davis said using free replacements for textbooks allow faculty to eas-ily see which materials work and add or remove works accordingly. He also agrees that the program should be utilized across the differ-

ent departments.He also said that those who have

published books get royalties from those books, whereas those who provide free material get no fi nan-cial benefi ts.

STUDENT IMPACTChismar is hoping that courses

with free textbooks will eventually be offered year-round. In addition

to saving students money, he said the initiative has a direct impact on student success.

A survey released in 2014 by the United States Public Interest Research Group (U.S. PIRG) found 65 percent of students in 150 universi-ties nationwide surveyed did not take a course or did not buy the textbook due to the cost of the textbook at some time in their academic career.

“Ninety-four percent of the stu-dents who didn’t buy the textbook because of the cost of the course, adversely affected their perfor-mance in the course,” Chismar said.

He added that Outreach Col-

lege is eventually going to move away from the free textbook ini-tiative and into open educational resources access. The difference, he said, between the two is that free textbooks mean the books do not cost students anything, while the open educational resource materi-als have an open copyright.

Students can access many copy-righted textbooks electronically through the university library’s website thanks to subscription ser-vices paid for by UH.

STUDENT PERSPECTIVEStudio art major Kelsey Uehira

believes that this program will help out many students who have issues paying for their tuition. She was not planning on taking summer courses since she is graduating this semes-ter, but now that she knows about the zero-cost textbook courses, she may decide to enroll.

“Taking away some costs from students is a great thing for them to save,” Uehira said.

Uehira said that there have been classes she had decided to with-draw from because there were just too many textbooks to buy. She continued to say that one class required her to purchase 15 text-books in one semester, costing around $40 to $50 each.

Outreach College is attempting to have the summer sessions benefi t

students, Chismar said, by getting courses students need and couldn’t get before to keep the cost down. By providing classes that studentsneed, the classes will have better enrollment than classes that arenot needed for degrees.

Prior to this, faculty chose what classes they wanted to teach, so itwas supply driven and not demand driven. To remedy this, Outreach College worked with depart-ments to see what courses were indemand for students. For example, Chismar said that if six studentswanted a certain class, then the department would offer the course.

“UH does not save any moneyby providing this program,” Chis-mar said.

Indirectly, a large percentage of the students are on fi nancial aid from the university and 20 percent of the tuition goes back to the students in terms of scholarships, he said.

When educational costs for stu-dents are lowered, scholarship awards go down. According to Chis-mar, UH wouldn’t reduce scholar-ships, but it would spread it out more. This means that there’s more scholarship money to go around for more students.

KEVIN DENEENSENIOR STAFF WRITER

University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Institute for Astronomy Astronomer R. Brent Tully donated $264,000 of his prize money from awards to develop the R. Brent Tully Distinguished Visi-tors Endowed Fund.

Tully has won many awards for his work at the Institute for Astron-omy and has gained worldwide recognition for leading a team of astronomers and identifying the full range of galaxies in the super-cluster Laniakea, which Earth is part of. He said the money will be used to bring students, postdoctor-ates and small groups of research-ers from other universities to attend workshops held in Hawai‘ i.

“It’s marvelously generous of him to do this and I’m looking forward to encouraging some of my ex-col-laborators and heroes in cosmol-ogy to take advantage of [the fund] and come out here,” said UH Mānoa Astronomy professor and Associ-ate Director for National Telescope Projects Nick Kaiser.

The endowment will have a cer-tain amount of money and the idea is to use a little bit each year which

will allow the rest of the endowment to keep growing. Tully hopes others will put money into the pot as well, since it is open to the public.

AWARD-WINNING RESEARCHThe money will allow Tully’s col-

leagues in the astronomy depart-ment to request someone to come to Hawai‘ i. He added the funding from the endowment is strictly for anyone who will be visiting Hawai‘ i and will include airfare and other related expenses.

Tully won two awards in 2014 — the Victor Ambartsumian International Prize and the Gruber Cosmology Prize — each worth $500,000. After splitting the awards with his team of astrono-mers, he was left with $125,000 from each award.

Tully then invested the $250,000 into the stock market and the value increased to $264,000.

ASTRONOMY AND HAWAIIAN CULTURE

Tully felt it would be a sad thing if Hawaiian culture wasn’t on board with the idea of learning about earth’s place in the universe.

“We’ve developed a situation here in astronomy where [Hawai’i

is] actually very prominent in astronomy; we are one of the lead-ing places in astronomy,” Tully said.

Tully feels it is an unfortunate situation that a lot of the spin has been coming down here with respect to what is going on at UH and Mauna Kea.

“If we don’t keep up and con-tinue to have the best facilities, we will just slowly fade back to a sec-ond class status,” Tully said.

LANIAKEA: IMMENSE HEAVENAccording to the NASA website,

the Laniakea supercluster of gal-axies is built up of thousands of galaxies and includes the Milky Way Galaxy, the local group of gal-axies and the whole Virgo clus-ter of galaxies. Laniakea stretches over 500 million light years and its mass is 10,000 times the mass of the Milky Way.

“It is called the cosmic web sometimes and you can think of it as a spider web with little knots and fi laments,” Tully said.

BIANCA SMALLWOODSENIOR STAFF WRITER

A new website will make it eas-ier for Hawai’i’s decision makers and residents to keep track of the state’s progress on sustainability.

The Aloha+ Challenge dash-board was launched by Gov. David Ige, four county mayors, the Offi ce of Hawaiian Affairs, Hawai‘ i Green Growth and University of Hawai‘ i System President David Lassner on April 1. The project provides public access to data that shows Hawai‘ i’s progress towardreaching its state-wide sustainability goals by the year 2030, according to a news release.

State Sustainability Coordinator Jacqueline Kozak Thiel said that the Aloha+ Challenge was endorsed by the Legislature and consists of six targets for sustainability. She said the dashboard will track the prog-ress being made on completing the challenge.

“What we decided as a group is that if we’re going to make a com-mitment to these measurable tar-gets for the year 2030 in six different areas … then it’s really important for us to understand where we are right

now in 2015,” Kozak Thiel said in an email interview.

Established last year, the dash-board currently has two out of six sustainability indicators available for view: clean energy and solid waste reduction. The other four include local food, natural resource management, green workforce and

education communities and smart sustainable.

Kozak Thiel said that there have been approximately 100 people involved in creating the dashboard, and the decision of which sustain-ability indicators to include was made as a group. The goal was to make the data easy to comprehend.

“Once we decided what those most important ones are, that make sense and we actually have data for, [we would] go back and work with the experts and the peo-ple in government that have that

data to coordinate it all,” Kozak Thiel said.

UH INVOLVEMENTUH Sustainability Coordinator

Matthew Lynch said that UH has been involved in the project from the beginning and contributed to the creation of the dashboard and

the benchmarks for the energy and waste reduction indicators. He added UH would be involved in cre-ating the next set of benchmarks for the other sustainability indica-tors in the future.

“We’ll continue to play a role in helping to develop metrics for the 2015 areas of focus (Natural Resource Management and Food), and in the development of met-rics for the 2016-17 areas of focus (Smart Sustainable Communi-ties and Green Jobs & Education),” Lynch said in an email interview.

“As the largest institute of higher education in the state, UH will likely be providing key data to help track state progress on its sustain-ability goals in the area of Green Jobs & Education.”

He added that reducing the energy usage at all campuses would help Hawai‘i make progress toward its statewide sustainability goals.

A MORE SUSTAINABLE STATEWhile the Aloha+ Challenge

dashboard is still in development, Joseph Mobley, co-leader of the Divest UH movement and professor at the nursing department at UH Mānoa, said there are plans under-way to use the information.

“As a co-leader of the Divest UH movement, I’ve been working closely with [the] Sustainable UH folks,” Mobley said in an email interview. “Having the dashboard available will allow us to track the progress of this important movement toward state-wide sustainable practice, and will allow us to raise red fl ags if things go in the wrong direction or are not moving fast enough.”

Mobley also said that since the dashboard is open to the public, he hopes others will observe the

progress being made towards sus-tainability, while at the same timeurging the Legislature to do more.

“For the University of Hawai‘ i, or the world for that matter, there is no more urgent need than that of reducing the pace of our damage to the planet,” Mobley said. “As a sci-entist, I am totally convinced that we’re rapidly approaching the point of no return unless we take imme-diate action to reduce that damage.”

HOPES FOR THE FUTUREKozak Thiel said the goal is to

complete the entire dashboard by 2017 and have its targets updated at least annually.

While she said one of the biggest concerns is the dashboard’s data gaps and quality since the coun-ty’s methods of tracking topics likewaste is different, she is hopefulpeople will use the information togo out and make a difference.

“My biggest hope is that Hawai‘ i[will] become this beacon of lightinternationally, and we’re knownas a place that has a very ‘aloha’approach to sustainability that’sintegrated and compassionate and collaborative and brings a lot of people together,” Kozak Thiel said.

For the University of Hawai‘ i … there is no more urgent need than that of reducing the pace of damage to our planet.

University of Hawai‘i chancellors and vice chancellors are still fi naliz-ing the free speech policy that was fi rst issued system-wide on Decem-ber 1, 2014.

The updated free speech pol-icy requires the chancellor of each campus to provide free speech bul-letins, designated forums, a dispute resolution process and specifi c guidelines regarding time, place and manner of free speech con-ducted on campus.

“We are in the process of conven-ing a working group, comprised of various campus community mem-bers, to create a UH Mānoa policy and procedures that align with the system free speech policy,” said Lori Ideta, UH Mānoa interim vice chancellor for students, in an email interview.

This decision came after UH Hilo students Merritt Burch, president of the UH Hilo chapter of Young Amer-icans for Liberty, and Anthony Viz-zone sued the university after they were prevented from passing out copies of the constitution and were restricted to a fl ood prone “free speech zone” to protest the Natu-ral Security Agency spying activity.

Burch and Vizzone, with help from the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), argued their fi rst amendment rights were infringed upon since they were barred from distributing their material and limited to the edge of campus, not in a high-traffi c area,

according to the Huffi ngton Post.“When Burch and Vizzone

reached out to us for assistance, it was just obvious that we should just help them in any way we could,” said Catherine Sevcenko, associate director of litigation for FIRE, in a phone interview.

Sevcenko said the organization is committed to protecting and secur-ing fi rst amendment rights to stu-dents all over the country.

POLICY UPDATEAlthough the new free speech

policy allows for “designated free speech forums,” students are not limited to these areas to express themselves. The update also sug-gested potential intended users of these forums to provide advance notice of their intended use, but it is no longer a requirement. Stu-dents and community members who believe their fi rst amendment rights to free speech are being threatened will now have a sepa-rate process catered to their needs.

“In our view, it meets all of the requirements of the fi rst amendment ... it’s a question of how it’s imple-mented, but we think that the foun-dation has been set for what should be a constitutional regime that meets the needs of the students to be able to express themselves and the reasonable needs of the univer-sity as well,” Sevcenko said.

The new policy has no deadline as to when chancellors of each campus must release these imple-mentations.

With the state’s ban on plastic bags going into effect soon, Uni-versity of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa stores are either already prepared or cur-rently making arrangements for the upcoming conversion.

Effective on July 1, the ban will prohibit businesses from using plastic checkout bags and non-re-cyclable paper bags as a way for customers to carry their items. Although Honolulu was the last county in the state to pass the ban, Department of Environmental Ser-vices (ENV) Deputy Director Timothy Houghton said that the goal for the ban is the same everywhere.

“This is a growing trend across the United States, and Honolulu

was the last county in Hawai‘ i to pass such a measure,” Houghton said in an email interview. “The underlying theme is to try and eliminate one form of litter that could potentially make its way into our waterways and harm both marine life and birds.”

THE REGULATIONAccording to the regulation, busi-

nesses are able to use either reus-able bags, compostable plastic bags or recyclable paper bags in the place of regular plastic ones, with or without charging the cus-tomer extra. There are exceptions to the rule, however, as the use of non-recyclable paper bags are allowed if they are used to trans-port prepared foods, beverages or bakery goods.

About 30 percent of the 4,000 businesses that responded to an ENV survey about their plans to implement the ban said they are using recyclable paper bags. Another 30 percent said that they are using reusable plastic. He said that while the original deadline to respond was March 27, the ENV would be following up with another 5,000 businesses regarding their post-ban plans.

The regulation also states the penalties for a business that vio-lates the terms of the ban include

being ordered to stop distribut-ing the prohibited bags and being fi ned between $100 and $1,000 per day of violation.

PREPARING FOR THE BAN ON CAMPUSUH Mānoa stores, like The Mar-

ket at Hale Noelani, are already pre-pared for the upcoming ban. Sodexo Inc. General Manager Donna Ojiri said that the ban helps a greater cause.

“One of the three top priori-ties for Mānoa Dining Services is to focus on the Environment,” Ojiri said in an email interview. “The plastic bag ban is good for the environment and supports one of our 14 commitments in our ‘Better Tomorrow Plan.’”

Ojiri added that while The Market is currently using biodegradable/compostable plastic bags, they

will start to sell reusable grocery bags as well in an effort to encour-age students to use that instead or bring their own bags.

The Mānoa Bookstore is making its preparations, but is still ready to join the eight other UH bookstores that have already been committed to a no plastic bag ban since 2011, said UH Mānoa Bookstore Opera-tions Manager Jennifer Sogi.

Sogi said that though the book-store already offers reusable shop-ping bags for $1.95, they would conduct a survey this semester to fi nd out what customer’s prefer-ences are and determine if the bags they use now will be enough. She said the store is looking at other types of bags in anticipation of buy-ing another type of bag.

She explained that while the bookstore likes to give away free bags during promotions, there is a possibility that customers will be charged for the reusable bags as a way to cover operational costs.

Although arrangements are still in progress, Sogi said that the Mānoa Bookstore’s customers are already set for the upcoming ban.

“We think our UH customer base is ready for the change, and we’re on board with going green and mov-ing UH toward sustainability,” Sogi said in an email interview. “We’ve seen students return to our stores

with their reusable totes or choosetheir backpacks to carry purchaseditems instead of a plastic bag.”

Sogi also said that prior to thestart of the ban; the Mānoa Book-store will be posting signs as areminder to customers that they mayno longer offer free plastic bags.

DISADVANTAGES OF THE BANBeach Environmental Awareness

Campaign Hawai‘ i (BEACH) Pres-ident and Co-founder SuzanneFrazer said that while she supportsthe plastic bag ban, she is disap-pointed that it does not apply toall plastic checkout bags, allowing stores to either continue using reg-ular plastic, compostable plastic orthicker bags.

“Stores may just replace oneplastic bag with another plasticbag and that to me is not a plas-tic bag ban,” Frazer said in an emailinterview. “The City and County of Honolulu has the weakest plasticbag ban of all the four counties. Iwould like to see a proper ban onall plastic checkout bags.”

Frazer said that while the banallows the use of compostableplastic bags, it requires specialfacilities to break down.

“The problem with compostableplastic bags is that they don’t com-post in the environment and peo-ple may litter them more thinkingthat they will break down,” Frazer said. “Compostable plastic will onlycompost in a high heat, commercialcomposting facility, none of whichexist on this island.”

Frazer said plastic bags pose arisk for marine animals such as sea turtles, which eat the leftover plastic, mistaking it for food. Thiscan result in blockages that preventthe turtles from diving for food. Shesaid that after ingesting a plastic bag, it takes up to 60 days for a seaturtle to starve to death.

Natalie Bruso, vice president of the Surfrider Foundation Stu-dent Chapter at UH Mānoa, a groupwhose mission is to protect the world’s oceans, said that she hopesthe plastic bag ban will spark a transformation in people’s beliefs.

“It would be great if we could just initiate a change in cultureto make it the norm for people tocarry or use their own reusable orsustainable bags,” Bruso said. “Andsince we have seen it done in othercounties, you know it’s possible, wejust have to do it.”

SEAN MITSUIGUEST WRITER

The main reason why consumer goods are so expensive in Hawai‘ i is because of a nearly century-old federal law called the Jones Act.

Because of this regulation,

all products shipped to Hawai‘ i, including those manufactured in Asia, must travel to our state from a U.S. harbor. Most often, that means products must be shipped to the West Coast before they come here.

WHAT IS THE JONES ACT?The Jones Act, formally known as

the Merchant Marine Act of 1920, requires all vessels transporting cargo or passengers between two U.S. ports to be built, crewed by and sailed under the U.S. fl ag. This stat-ute was established after World War I with the intention of preserving a strong national shipping indus-try and navy. Now, it’s most often defended by shipbuilding unions.

WHAT ARE THE RESULTS TODAY?The Jones Act has tarnished the

nation’s shipping industry. The U.S. now builds only about one percent of all large commercial ships. More importantly, though, it has left damaging economic con-sequences.

Due to the imposed regulations, Hawai‘ i primarily relies on two shipping companies for importing, Matson and Horizon. One issue is the undermining of basic economic principles: in any industry, when there is less variety in supply, there

is less competition. When there is less competition, there are no mar-ket forces to keep prices down.

Worse are the implications of the Jones Act’s wastefulness. Asian cargo has to fi rst stop at San Fran-cisco before going to Hawai‘ i. As a result, goods in Hawai‘ i cost 49

percent more than equivalents for sale on the U.S. mainland.

This law has only benefi ted a few large shipping companies while wip-ing out smaller ones. The result is fi nancial burden on local consumers and limited protection for signifi cant players in our economy.

IS SECURITY AN ISSUE?Many proponents of the Jones

Act justify the law with domestic peace and security.

“[It] plays a critical role in pro-tecting our national security by helping us maintain our ability to build, crew and deploy U.S. ships when they are needed,” U.S. Rep. Colleen Hanabusa said.

The reality of the situation is not optimistic: the Jones Act leaves us more vulnerable in the case of an emergency. During Hurricane Sandy, for example, President Obama had to temporarily waive the Jones Act so foreign oil tankers from the Gulf of Mexico could deliver fuel to ports in the Northeast. As a result, the price of oil in New England was successfully kept low.

Enforcement of the Jones Act during a foreign military threat would be even more disastrous. Hawai‘ i Pacifi c University Profes-sor Ken Schoolland suggests that

an enemy would want to cut the islands off from international ship-ping in the case of a war. Ironically, the law does this in peacetime.

Although well-intentioned, the Jones Act is a relic of the early 20th century. It is time to call for an exemption, if not a full repeal.

On April 13, representatives from Hawai‘i, Guam and Puerto Rico held a joint videoconference to discuss a possible exemption to the Jones Act for the U.S.’s non-contiguous terri-tories. Thankfully, the “U.S.-built” requirement doesn’t apply to Guam anymore.

NEED FOR CHANGEChange is slow. Hawai‘i State Sen-

ator Sam Slom has introduced res-olutions calling for this exemption only to be defeated many times. Nevertheless, we are starting to see progress every year, as more Repub-licans and Democrats come together to support this action.

As residents of Hawai‘ i, weshould acknowledge the effect thislaw has on our islands, and as UH students, we should be more con-cerned about the high cost of liv-ing in Hawai‘ i.

Sometimes solutions are sim-ple, but their execution is diffi cult because of lack of political will oreducation. For this reason, we must realize that by preserving this out-dated legislation, politicians areonly maintaining the status quo. If we want growth and prosperity, we need to start deconstructing the Jones Act.

leges of Arts and Sciences.

Next Monday, the juniors and seniors from the Fashion Design and Merchandising Program (FDMP) at the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa will hold their 49th annual fashion show. On February 8, the show’s Facebook page published a call for female models who are over 5’7”.

This height requirement sends a troubling message to Mānoa stu-dents, particularly to women. See-ing a fashion runway fi lled with tall models should provoke us to ques-tion whether beauty can be defi ned within particular measurements such as height.

“The fashion industry can be detrimental to female self-image. It gives them the idea that they are not naturally beautiful the way they are,” FDMP secretary Karisa Archambault said.

AGAINST NEGATIVE SELF-IMAGEMost fashion events are criti-

cized for their selectivity of girls’ body type. To counter promoting slim “ideals,” Italy, Spain and, most recently, France outlawed models who are too thin.

“This is an important message to young women who see these models as an aesthetic example,” said Marisol Touraine, Health Minister of France.

Before being hired, models now need a medical certifi cate verifying that they have a Body Mass Index of 18. The punishment for those who disobey the new law can add up to US$79,000 and six months in jail. There is also a penalty for web-sites promoting anorexia.

Height requirements could have the same detrimental effect on young women as unachievable weight standards. UH Mānoa’s FDMP can learn from that experi-ence and be proactive about mak-ing people aware that beauty is not contained within such limits.

“Our fashion program at UH may be small and under the radar, but we are passionate about what we do, and how we want to change the world by creating new standards of self-image,” Archambault said. “An example would be to never have sizing or height requirements for models. This fuels the fl ame of the fashion industry. One must abso-lutely do away with these in order for body image to become accept-able on all levels.”

EYE OF THE BEHOLDERIt’s counterintuitive for fashion

shows to have such rigid require-ments on a diverse campus like ours. Not all ethnicities are the same height, and it is unfair for UH Mānoa’s FDMP to have such narrow requirements that may exclude so many people on campus.

The fashion students are not to blame because they are doing what the industry requires them to do. This may be true, but standards are often set in countries where people have physically different features from much of Hawai‘ i’s population. It’s puzzling why UH Mānoa’s FDMP follows those standards.

Many may say that there is no possible way a fashion show to have signifi cant impact on stu-dents’ self-image. However, peo-ple form opinions of themselves from many perspectives and look-ing up to the “ideals” of the fashion industry is one of them. Any source of negative self-image needs to be dealt with.

FDMP should become more inclu-sive, which would be in line with its own values.

“Fashion can make ordinary peo-ple feel beautiful, and in this way, it can help promote individuality and uniqueness,” Archambault said. “It creates a self-image that one can be happy about, regardless of how skinny or curvy one may be.”

Anastasia Kostetskaya, Assistant Professor of Russian at UH Manoa speaks of the Russian Pro-gram.

Question: What are the benefi ts in studying Russian?

Anastasia Kostetskaya: Russian is a critical language for US security as defi ned by the US Department of State. Th e demand for specialists who are profi cient in the Russian language and culture is very high and the supply is very low. Th ere are A LOT of jobs – in diplo-macy, business, tourism, etc. Russia is a major player on the world political arena and a growing economic power in the Asia-Pacifi c region. Specialists speaking Russian may enjoy a wage increase of about 4% per year - the biggest among other widely spoken languag-es!!!

Q: What can your program off er UH Manoa students?

AK: We off er a Russian Major, Russian Certifi cate (equivalent of an undergraduateMinor) and beginner and intermediate language classes to fulfi ll their two-year language requirement. We off er courses in Rus-sian Literature, Culture and Film. In teaching Russian, we use the communicative method, which allows our students to be able to eff ectively communicate in Rus-sian inspeech and writing and develop their reading and listening in the target language from the start. You

Q: Do your students have a chance to study Russian in Russia?

AK: Yes, we have just signed an agreement with the Vladivostok State University of Economics and Service in the Russian Far East. Th ree of our Majors are there now for a semester abroad. Th ey are taking language classes and classes in other areas of specialization, of course, in Russian. In addition, this is a very important cultural experience.

Our goal is to prepare well rounded specialists in Russia: We off er Russian History to fulfi ll history department requirements. It is a new trend that our students combine their Russian major with a major in PoliSci, Religion, Psychology and other disciplines, which reinforces their skills and enhances their chances on the very competi-tive contemporary job market.

Hawai‘ i’s homeless population is second largest in the nation after Washington, D.C., according to data from the National Alliance to End Homelessness. More than a half of them live on O‘ahu, and they suf-fer from various substance abuse problems or chronic diseases.

Last year’s criminalization of homelessness in Waikīkī was unfair because of economic motivations. Instead, the state should encour-age the work of shelters and non-profi t agencies.

ALL BECAUSE OF TOURISMUnappealing aesthetics are bad

for business. Signifi cant pressure from the state’s tourism industry called for regulations to keep home-less people away from their proper-ties. They achieved this goal through the sit-lie ban enforced on Waikīkī’s sidewalks since August 2014.

Although the homeless are per-ceived as a potential economic threat, the Hawai‘ i Tourism Author-ity reported “record-breaking visi-tor spending and arrivals” over the last two years.

“We’re helping the public to view the homeless as faceless peo-ple – not even people, but objects to sweep away,” said City Coun-cil Member Breene Harimoto, an opponent of the sit-lie ban. It is a moral imperative that homeless individuals and families are offered effective support, rather than dis-placement.

HOMELESS IN HONOLULUThere are more than 4,700

homeless people on O‘ahu, 1,600 of whom are unsheltered. Nearly 900 are either suffering from a mental illness or substance abuse. City offi cials contend that there are about 4,400 beds avail-

able across all emergency shelters, transitional shelters, and perma-nent supportive housing.

“Criminalization of basic human functions in the absence of options for shelter violates the Eighth Amendment prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment,” the American Civil Liberties Union of Hawai‘ i said.

Many homeless remain averse to shelter life, citing violence, bed bugs, theft and rape. Instead, many choose to live near beach parks where life necessities like show-ers, toilets and water are available. However, parks are closed from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.

The cost of living in Hawai‘i is too high for most homeless. For those who have successfully entered transitional programs that offer support for permanent housing, it is a daunting task to get back on their feet in the nation’s fourth most expensive place to live.

The problem is national. A

family with one full-time worker earning minimum wage cannot afford the fair-market rent for a two-bedroom apartment any-where in the U.S. An estimated 12 million renters and homeowner households now pay more than 50 percent of their annual income

for housing, according to the May-or’s Offi ce of Housing.

HOUSING FIRSTShelters’ common approach

involves a screening process in which the homeless must agree to certain rules. Unfortunately, with so many of Hawai‘ i’s home-less suffering from mental illness or substance abuse, they often fail to meet program prerequisites.

Housing First is an initiative adopted by local offi cials as a way to counter this failure.

“Housing First is about getting the homeless into housing imme-diately without requiring that they be clean and sober. These are the requirements many homeless peo-ple are simply unable to meet,” City and County of Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell said.

ALL FOR ONE AND ONE FOR ALL“We are all in this canoe together

and have a fundamental obligation

to care for our most vulnerable,” Caldwell said.

There must be an effort to elim-inate the dehumanizing treatment and stigma towards the homeless community while providing needed support. It is disheartening to see people struggling in poverty – vic-tims of indifference.


According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the number of homeless people in the state has increased by 18 percent from 2010 to 2014.

The University of Hawai‘i should have sent emails warning the com-munity about the man photo-graphing women on campus and uploading the photos to a pornog-raphy website two months earlier than it did.

On Feb. 26, 2015, Ka Leo O Hawai‘i received a tip about pho-tos of female students at UH Mānoa posted online to a pornography website and informed the Depart-ment of Public Safety (DPS). In an interview, DPS Community Pro-grams Manager Sarah Rice said Ka Leo had not been the fi rst to report the unwanted photography.

“Educating the community to make wise decisions is a step towards crime prevention,” Rice said.

But why the department took so long to educate students and oth-ers on campus about the voyeur is unclear. In those two months, the voyeur posted hundreds of addi-tional images.

Why did DPS only begin sending out emails on April 20 when they knew about these incidents for at least two months?

It’s understandable that DPS may not have had a physical description of the photographer at that point. However, UH Mānoa community members should at least have been made aware of what was going on.

When DPS did begin sending out email updates, the warning emails prompted concerned stu-dents to share new information with the department. Rice said the photographer was identifi ed within 24 hours of the fi rst email. Perhaps the photographer could have been identifi ed and stopped two months ago if DPS had shared what it knew earlier. It only took a couple of days for him to take down the photos once the campus distributed the warning emails.

While DPS’s efforts did identify the photographer and hand the case to HPD, there is no reason why action could not have been taken sooner.

DPS could have outed voyeur

Every artist behind “Unabridged” has a story to tell. These Bachelors of Fine Arts (BFA) students encour-age viewers to uncover the ideas and processes behind the artwork in this student-curated exhibition.

“The BFA capstone class isn’t just about creating a piece of art-work and displaying it in the gal-lery at the end of the semester,” Eric Peters, BFA committee president said. “There is a heavy emphasis on critical discussion and really think-ing about what ideas you are explor-ing and how your artwork refl ects — or doesn’t refl ect — those ideas.”

The “Unabridged” exhibition cul-minates months of critical dis-cussion and studio practice that exposed BFA students to curatorial work. The exhibit will be open for free to the public from April 26 to May 15 at The Art Gallery on campus.

THE BFA STUDENTSThe students involved are part

of a competitive BFA program designed for those who wish to pursue a career or an advanced degree in art. The BFA program provides students with the oppor-tunity to apply their knowledge of art to individual projects.

“When you’re doing the reme-dial art courses, the assignments are more directed,” sculptor Sarah Sollner said. “This program gives me a chance to explore my own ideas and concepts and talk about why I personally make art and what direction I’m heading as an artist.”

“Unabridged” is run by a planning committee that each individual art-ist has a role in. The committee con-sists of 21 students and has three main positions — a president, sec-retary and treasurer — along with three department heads that help with the planning process and pro-vide feedback to the artists through-out the semester.

“The 18 other students take on

varied roles as well, mainly plan-ning the opening, reception and exhibition details,” Peters said.

The students submit a proposal, do individual research, gather materials and create their artwork on their own. The artists also work with the department heads and gallery staff on a professional level.

“It’s really nice to have [the department heads] so available,” Peters said. “Any question you have,

you can shoot them an email and that night they will email you back. I’m meeting two of them for the fi rst time in this class and they are very open, they give good critique.”

The graphic design team plays an essential role in “Unabridged” but is separate from the artists, though both groups are essentially part of the BFA program and will be get-ting BFA degrees. The design team creates the graphic elements of the exhibition from the logos, handouts and wall texts. They will also be having their own exhibition at the commons gallery across from the “Unabridged” exhibition.

THE ARTISTIC PROCESSHeavy emphasis is placed on the

critiquing process throughout the semester and is required of every artist. Each artist in the BFA program undergoes revision and scheduled critical discussion on their progress.

“We have to do a pecha kucha where we talk about us as artists,” photographer Kevyn Murphy said. “We all have to sit down and talk about our work, our past work, give artists statements of why we do what we do.”

There are three major critiqu-

ing periods that the BFA artists undergo, the fi nal critique being the fi nal installation of their art. The artists gain further experience in the critiquing process from indi-vidual meetings with department heads and from the collaborative process of exchanging feedback with fellow artists.

“Critique is a time where I get response about my work to see what’s working and what’s not,”

printmaker Paul Galang said. “I think this is important to keep me moving and thinking, especially when I’m stuck.”

BFA students are provided their own creative studio space for the entire semester to develop their

individual projects. Each studio is unique to the artists that inhabit the space.

THE EXHIBITIONThere are a wide variety of

art mediums that make up “Unabridged” – including sculpting, glass, printmaking, photography, painting and more. Behind each art installation is a well-thought and developed concept that per-sonifi es each up-and-coming artist.

“The exhibition is a huge milestone in my and other participants’ careers because it is an introduction for us, as artists, into the art world,” sculptor Kaua Abbey said. “It gives us experi-ence with participating in a huge art exhibition and the chance to show our work to a large audience.”

In addition to the variety of art mediums, each artist brings their own understanding, experience and interpretation of their work in “Unabridged.” Though the exhi-bition does not have a collective theme, there are relationships between the art works and mean-ing that can be derived from the

title “Unabridged.”“The show doesn’t really have a

solid theme or concept, but sur-prisingly a lot of the pieces share similar themes of weight, conceal-ment, entombment and Japanesehistorical aspects,” Peters said.

Galang believes that behindevery piece, there is a signifi cant story to be discovered.

“The artist will guide the view-ers in and it’s up to them to put the pieces together,” he said. “Once the pieces are put together, I think that’s where the actual story begins.”

On a deeper level, “Unabridged” will connect the experiences and ideas of artists to the public. Soll-ner is aware of the impact of herwork to the community.

“It gives a chance for us to com-municate with the public on a per-sonal level and in interesting ways,” Sollner said. “It’s a good way to bring people into your world, toshare all the pain, share all the happiness, all the emotions thatyou feel when you’re alone and reach out to other people and bring them in as well.”

With a total of 100 hours of work time under her belt, BFA student Kauanoe “Kaua” Abbey, is excited to share what she has created for the BFA art show at the end of April.

The piece she has been working on, titled “Incarceration,” refl ects the struggle and controversy in Abbey’s life.

“For me, it’s based off of perfec-tionism, which is something that I often struggle with,” she said. “So it’s been quite an interesting jour-ney, because she is very much not perfect and ideal, although she’s striving to be, so its kind of an ironic topic in my opinion.”

For Abbey, “she” is her project: a kinetic sculpture of a mannequin.

The two principle mediums used to create the sculpture, bronze and steel, represent different things for her. The bronze represents the soul of the person, while the steel rep-resents corruption. She sees the steel slowly seeping into and deteri-orating the fi gure’s soul. Yet, the soul still remains, leaving a bit of hope for the future.

Abbey knew she wanted to explore corruption through her work from the start.

“I was thinking of things that would corrupt people and, for me, perfectionism was one of them and

seeing these ideal ideas of peo-ple,” she said. “It’s modeled off of a mannequin. So that plays off of the perfectionist idea. I wanted to use the ideal body type, just to play into that idea of perfection-ism. When I was a kid I always felt this pressure to be perfect, that’s how this kind of started.”

Abbey has drawn much of her inspiration from animation, movies and music. She enjoys the way ani-mation produces aesthetically over exaggerated forms. The process of making the piece has been differ-ent than what Abbey is used to.

“A normal process for me, is that I have to plan out every sin-gle detail,” she said. “But for this, it would have been impossible to plan. So welding all those rods and planning those out would have just been a nightmare,” she said. “So I just kinda had to go head fi rst and just do it. And I’m actually really loving this, I’m really excited.”

Growing up, Abbey was always interested in steel and welding. Her father was a mechanic, but never allowed her to weld or be near power tools. When she arrived at the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa from Maryknoll High School, she knew exactly what she was going to do – Abbey went straight for the metal fabrication class.

Shannon Webb’s contribution to the art show includes 74 ceramic pieces that she has been work-ing on since the beginning of this semester – a compete ceram-ics set that includes several cups and vases.

She has based her work on the idea of people and the relation-ships they have with pottery and other people. Through her per-sonal experiences, Webb has found that ceramics has a way of bringing people together.

“I’m kind of obsessive over it,” Webb said. “It’s grueling to just sit here for hours, but it’s something that I’ve always wanted to do. So the fact that I can sit here and watch it happening, it feels right. In the end I’m always happy with [the pieces].”

Webb has based her designs off of abstract art and a carving theme she has created. She draws much of her inspiration from natural forms, fl ora, fauna and water. One of her favorite artists is James Jean, an artist who works with fl uid lines throughout his art work.

The length of time taken to cre-ate each vase or cup can vary.

Webb fi rst sketches out her design on paper, then follows the sketch while throwing the clay on a wheel. Often, she even throws multiples of just one shape.

Once they are dry, she trimsthem so that they have a foot. Webb then draws her designs onto the piece and begins to carve out visible details. The glaze is put on and fi red in the kiln, then glazed again and yet again fi red. At thispoint, the piece looks glossy, shinyand complete.

Webb hopes that her hard work is noticed.

“I’m pretty much here all the time,” she said. “My days start at 6:30 a.m. and end at 10 p.m. But Ilike what I do, so I don’t mind.”

After the show is over, Webb hopes to either use the pieces she has created, sell them or enterthem into other exhibitions.

“After I graduate, I’m not surewhat I’m gonna do,” she said. “I know I want to pursue art, [because] it’s something that I’ve always wanted to do and I’m not really set on the idea of becom-ing a teacher. I don’t think that’s for me.”

Kinetic sculpture art is “not for the faint of heart,” according to BFA student Sarah Sollner, but it is the type of medium that she has cho-sen to pursue and build upon.

“You kind of need some sort of a curiosity or even courage to approach it,” she said. “A lot of my pieces are kind of intimidating or they don’t seem like happy or nice

things, but theres more to it if you investigate, and I think thats what my arts about.”

Sollner began as a business major at University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa in her fi rst year before com-ing to the realization that an art class she took in high school had more infl uence towards her future than she anticipated.

“After a year of trying business out, I was like nope – and I switched to art,” she said. “I really loved it,

and I stuck with it for many years, more than I think I needed to.”

Sollner’s kinetic sculpture art is a man-made machine, and needs no source of electricity to activate it. Sollner said examples of kinetic art include self-operating machines, otherwise known as automatons, or things activated by levers or mech-anisms, springs and pulleys – but ultimately resourceful machines that don’t waste energy.

She said it’s the kind of art that

allows her to express her emotions while performing physical skills through a creative outlet. Part of the physical process of putting her piece together included taking long rods of metal, cutting and welding the metal pieces, and then grinding them to form a structure.

“This type of art is not only men-tally challenging, it’s also physically challenging, and I think I like the dynamics between both of those,” she said. “Having the mind power

and the actual strength and abilityto put it all together myself, I think that’s why I enjoy it a lot.”

As a young child, Sollner said she always found herself spendinghours in her parents’ closet looking at all their tools and analyzing herdifferent toys, fascinated with try-ing to fi gure out how they work. Her fascination grew into an art form, and the machine for the BFA exhibit is a meshing of all the many types of mechanisms she encountered to support her concept.

“I see this machine as a refl ec-tion of how human nature has mechanisms, like self-defensemechanisms, such as anger, or hid-ing,” she said. “It’s really interesting, especially in relationship to these things that are man-made work – I wonder if there’s more to that, and I’m exploring that.”

Sollner’s interest in mechanical and intricate contraptions runs in her family. Her father is an engi-neer in Japan, and is one of thebiggest infl uences in her pursuitof a career doing what she loves.Along with the possibility of mov-ing there, she said one of the jobsshe is considering in the future is being a metal fabricator.

“I like the idea of looking atsomething and it bringing up ques-tions in your mind like how did itwork, what does it do, how does it relate to me; and I feel like I’vecome to a point with my artwork where it’s strong enough and it does enough to pull people in that way,” she said.

A man with class may be hard to identify right away, but you can fi nd a man with glass at the Bachelor of Fine Arts Exhibition this year.

Jonathan Holshue, BFA student, is focusing on glass sculpting. Hol-shue can truly say that glass is his passion, he has been working with glass for four years now and

has been casting glass for two. Although he happily spends his weekends working on his projects now, Holshue did not always know art was going to be his path.

“I really just kind of chanced upon it. It was really all about glass – it’s what got me addicted,” Hol-shue said.

For the upcoming art show, Hol-shue is making cast glass sculp-tures using the podcast process.

This process consists of ladling glass into sand molds and creat-ing patterns. The glass is ladled at 2,300 degrees Fahrenheit and molds into impressions that he has already made.

Holshue said he could not do this process by himself. With the help of two or three others, he manipulated the casting in a process called hot manipulation. They then added the glass spheres he also created while

the glass was still hot so the glass fused to the surface.

“We all kind of get together and help pour it in certain areas while the glass is still moving, so it’s like a team work exercise to create these sort of organic sea-form-inspired sculptures,” Holshue said.

Holshue said his inspiration has come from ideas surrounding encapsulation and elevation.

“A lot of inspiration comes from

a lot of sea forms, and playing withthat and the glass is kind of its ownthing – it does what it wants. It’skind of just playing with it and let-ting it teach you,” Holshue said.

Holshue describes fi nding piecesthat fi t perfectly together, and hav-ing a successful piece when work-ing with glass as a “really goodfeeling.” He said the most challeng-ing part about this art form is thatit inevitably all breaks.

Outside of glass, biking andcooking are his passions. When notworking on glass, you may see himworking as a pastry chef at CaféMiro in Kaimukī.

“I feel like cooking is also likeglass, in a way that you have allthose people working together tocreate one thing, and it’s hot. That’smy motto: ‘If you can’t stand theheat, get out of the kitchen.’”

Holshue’s dream is simply tocontinue working with glass. Aftergraduation, he is interested in pos-sibly attending Haystack Moun-tain School of Craft in Maine, orPilchuck glass school in Washing-ton. The Corning Museum of Glassalso has an internship program hewould like to participate in, whichwould allow him to blow glass whiletraveling the world.

Holshue previously worked at a private glass studio in Oregon where he taught a class and also worked on production-blown glass.

There may be several fi nancial institu-tions on or near campus, but University of Hawai‘ i Federal Credit Union (UH FCU) has two locations at Mānoa: one at cam-pus center, the other in the northeast cor-ner of campus.

However, access is only one part of the picture. UH FCU is a fi nancial cooperative, originally founded by faculty members in 1955. In general, credit unions are not-for-profi t institutions and offer rates on loans or other fi nancial services that are cheaper than for-profi t banks.

UH FCU also offers many of the same services as banks, including retirement accounts, car loans, mortgages and a notary. You can also manage your money or develop a plan to save for next semes-ter’s tuition at uhfcu.com. The credit union is also connected to others on the con-

tinental U.S., allowing you to access your money when you’re away from Hawai‘ i. If you’re just across town from the UH cam-pus and need cash, you can use an ATM operated by First Hawaiian Bank or Amer-ican Savings Bank free of charge.

KA LEO SPECIAL ISSUEBEST OF UH 2015

Dear Reader,We write a lot of articles here at Ka Leo. We are a newspa-

per, after all. Many of our articles dispense friendly advice to members of the student body, such as suggestions for last minute studying, or reviews of various food substances, mov-ies and theatre productions. However, it’s time for something new. This issue, you won’t be listening to us – you’ll be listen-ing to yourself. Through our writers, you will hear your voice. Welcome to the Best of UH issue.

We collected votes from members of the UH community and tallied them to create a list of the crème de la crème restaurants, clothing establishments, night life scenes and more around the university. Our writers have taken your top choices and written a variety of articles detailing why each location is so popular, as well as provided information about how to fi nd and contact the winners. However, some of the of the votes were close, so we also present the fi rst and sec-ond runner-ups.

Want to know what awaits you within this guide to the best of everything at the university? For those interested in a caffeine boost, most people on campus enjoy “Cof-fee Bean and Tea Leaf” for their morning (or afternoon, or evening) coffee. While riding that caffeinated high, consider riding some waves after purchasing a board or some accessories from “T&C,” voters’ favorite surf shop. Or, if you would prefer a more relaxing activity, “Yoga Hawaii” is the place to be for yoga. For the roman-tics out there, “Shokudo” seems to be the best place for a fancy date night, and for those who want to keep things simple, “Rainbow Drive-In” was voted the top restaurant for a plate lunch. Looking for some night life? “Mai Tai” was voted best bar, “M” for best night club, and, for your hangover cure the morning after, the UH com-munity suggests “Zippy’s.” If you prefer to fi x that headache with something fresh, grab a smoothie from “Lan-ikai Juice,” or check out voters’ preferred health food spot – “Whole Foods.” Finally, we here at Ka Leo couldn’t resist tossing in our own opinion; check out our “Staff Picks” online if you want to know where we like to visit.

Well, fellow members of the UH community, this is your issue. You know what’s up. Browse the pages and enjoy your impeccable taste.

Living in Hawai‘ i can get expensive quickly, especially if you’re trying to fi nd housing near the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa. However, students can get the full college experience by living with UHM Stu-dent Housing, voted by UH students as the best housing.

With several different options in either apartments or dormitories, UHM Student Housing Services (SHS) is looking out for everyone’s interests. In the Wainani and Noelani Apartments, each unit comes with a kitchen and bathroom, allowing stu-dents to feel more independent.

If you would prefer to live on upper campus, Hale Laulima and Kahawai are your best options. While both aren’t located near the cafeterias, they’re con-vientantly located near Paradise Palms.

As a freshman, the Hale Aloha Towers allow students to be close to the Hale Aloha Cafeteria and at the center of the various activities planned by SHS.

By living on campus, your rent is all-in-

clusive, giving you the means to save your money or spend it elsewhere. Heavy traf-fi c or a long commute to school will no longer be a concern. If you have a meal plan, you’ll be able to use meals at not only Hale Aloha Cafeteria, but Gateway, The Market and certain locations on upper campus as well.

SHS gives students a simple solution to their housing needs, and allows them to get to know each other in a safe and secure setting.

For those living in the dormitories, the end of the semester presents the same problem year after year: what do you do with your stuff?

Trunk-It storage offers a suitable solu-tion. Students can store their belongings while they return home and pick them up when they return to school. Trunk-It offers students the convenience of sup-plying boxes and tape, which can save students money.

Another major advantage of using Trunk-It storage is that the company offers to pick up the items directly from the dormitories or the apartments. The company also offers to deliver the items back to the students once they return to the island. Deliveries begin around 9 a.m. and are completed around 2 p.m.

According to Trunk-It.com, the company

offers a secure indoor warehouse that is free of rats and mold.

Trunk-It accepts all major credit cards, debit cards, checks, money orders, Pay-Pal and cash. Trunk-It also offers a 10% discount for any customer that brings in a new customer.

The storage company offers three summer packages ranging between $130-$336. The packages depend on the number of boxes needed. The price quote includes the boxes, tape, marker, pickup and delivery.

Trunk-It also offers to store items for students who will be delaying their return to school.

As someone who is accustomed to milk tea and boba from Taiwan, I can vouch that Taste Tea’s products are the closest to traditional tapioca milk tea.

This location’s milk teas don’t taste powdery, unlike those served by other milk tea shops. Taste Tea offers a wide range of selections, including a variety of differ-ent flavored milk and fruit teas. Some of the more unusual milk tea flavors include coconut and almond milk tea. The store’s taro milk tea and winter melon tea should be tasted. Fan favorites include the Hon-eydew Milk Tea and Volcano Milk Tea, but also range into the Ume Lemonade.

One of the best services at Taste Tea is the chance to try your tea and adjust the sweetness level, ranging from unsweet-ened to extra sweet.

Additionally, there are a variety of top-pings such as mini tapiocas, ice cream and various jellies (e.g. coffee and aloe).

You even have the option to mix large and mini boba.

The location is perfect for students, just outside of Ala Moana Center and a short walk from a bus stop that takes students back to Mānoa. Taste Tea also offers a stamp card with the 10th drink free. While not within walking distance of UH, the quality of tea at Taste Tea is worth the commute.

Burgers may be one of the most common and popular American foods, yet fi nding a truly good one can be challenging. Luckily, students don’t have to go very far to get their burger fi x. Teddy’s Bigger Burgers is about a 10-minute walk from campus, and its diverse menu caters to all palates. The restaurant’s theme is a classic 50’s burger joint, complete with a gumball machine, checkered walls and bright colors.

Teddy’s has a number of specialty burg-ers, including the “Kailua” (Teriyaki, grilled onions, Swiss cheese, mushrooms), “Bleu Wave” (Teriyaki, bacon, and bleu cheese) and more. Burgers come in three sizes - big (5oz), bigger (7oz), and biggest (9oz). Teddy’s also offers a number of sandwich options, includ-ing a veggie burger and a fi sh fi let sandwich. Of course, burgers go best with side dishes, and Teddy’s comes through with a variety of different milkshakes and fries. Teddy’s fea-tures specials, and the wait staff is energized,

friendly and willing to provide hand wipes to clean up after messy meals.

The restaurant also seeks feedback in order to improve its practices and custom-ers can provide comments either online or in-person. To top everything off, Teddy’s offers a 10 percent student discount, which may tempt even the most burger-averse col-lege students.

Many people from the mainland view Hawai‘ i as the deathbed of Mexican food. However, Serg’s Mexican restaurant has been open since 2008 and many consider it to be one of the best places to go for Mexican food in Hawai‘ i. Chef Sergio Arellano’s out-door restaurant, “Home of the Famous Flau-tas,” serves Mexican food daily.

Dishes include menudo (tripe stew), taco salad, quesadillas and fl an. Specials are offered on Taco Tuesdays. The restaurant is BYOB and offers traditional beverages and sodas. Get there early to avoid the rush and to get a good parking spot, as space is lim-ited. Breakfast is served from 8 a.m. to noon. Churros are served hot and a condiment bar with assorted sauces, guacamole and limes is located at the front.

With plenty of outdoor seating with col-orful Mexican flags and decorations, Serg’s always has upbeat music playing to set the scene.

You can call in your order to pick it up, take out your meal or sit at the picnic tables. Serg’s is located near Manoa Marketplace, and there is also a restaurant in Waimānalo.

If you’re looking for a quick bite to eat, Serg’s has also opened a food truck behind the Pacifi c Ocean Science anad Technology building.

As a kid from Brooklyn, I can attest that Domino’s Pizza is one of the only places on the island that is making delicious pizza.

Domino’s Pizza is one of the few places that is not only open late nights but also delivers late as well. It is not unusual to see a Domino’s delivery car zipping through campus at any time. A minimum of $9.99 is required per delivery and drivers often arrive quickly. The location closest to campus is on South Beretania, next to Teddy’s Bigger Burg-ers. Students, especially those living in stu-dent housing, prefer to have their Domino’s delivered rather than picked up.

Besides pizza, Domino’s menu features a large variety of choices: including sand-wiches, pasta, chicken and bread sticks. Students can also choose specialty items such as artisan pizzas or specialty chicken bites. Although Domino’s dessert selection only offers two choices, the prices for these items are very reasonable. Meals are made

and delivered quickly, yet this does not takeaway from the good quality of food. Manag-ers gladly renew orders free of charge if cus-tomers are not happy.

Domino’s also carries a wide variety of Coca-Cola products so students can escape the Pepsi-Cola that dominates our campus. Domino’s is the place to go if students are looking for classic American favorites at an affordable price and qual-ity we can all trust.

There is also the add-ons menu whichconsists of spring rolls, pot stickers, crab won-tons and more (about $1.50 each).

Hawai‘ i’s version of “comfort food,” Rain-bow Drive-In, is a popular destination for plate-lunch lovers.

From chili, loco moco, fried chicken, BBQ steak, hamburger steak to mahi mahi, Rain-bow offers customers a taste of the islands. Gravy lovers will appreciate the plates, since the rice and the meat are coated with a gen-erous portion of gravy.

For 50 years, Rainbow Drive-In has been able to sustain and thrive in a competitive market due to a combination of quality and its portion size of its plates. The lunch plates range from $6-$9.

The service at the restaurant is fast. The food comes on paper plates with plastic utensils, which makes it ideal for a quick meal. Customers can also choose to enjoy the scenery near Waikīkī while eating their food. Parking and seating are limited due to the location of the restaurant, and long lines are a common occurrence because

of its popularity. To avoid waiting, custom-ers can call in an order and pick it up when they arrive.

Finding a restaurant that is popular with both the local customers and tourists is dif-fi cult. However, Rainbow Drive-In’s popularity has enhanced its success. Its reputation of being an “old-school” place to eat has made Rainbow Drive-In a favorite among students.

Perfect for a night out on the town with friends or a romantic night with your signif-icant other, Doraku will not disappoint. Con-veniently located in Waikīkī and Kaka‘ako, your sushi craving will never go unsatisfi ed.

While Doraku tends to be on the pric-ier side, the Kaka‘ako location is more stu-dent friendly as it has happy hour twice a day, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. and from 9 p.m. to closing time. This location also offers lower prices than the Waikīkī restaurant, which is a sigh of relief for students wanting to indulge in great quality sushi without going broke.

There is a variety of seating to choose from, from the bar to private booths to the out-side patio, so you are sure to fi nd a comfort-able spot. The playlist is fresh and features scene-type music, making it clear that the restaurant always fi nds a way to set the per-fect vibe. Lighting is dim and the décor is chic, with wood furniture accents and hanging light lanterns to complete the perfect look.

The menu ranges from fresh poke to hot dishes of fi sh, lobster tempura or Jap-anese style garlic steak. Doraku also fea-tures donburi — a Japanese rice bowl dish — with a variety of fi sh and other seafood options and vegetables served soup style over sushi rice. The red and white dragon rolls are crowd pleasers, along with the emperor roll. There is a large selection of sashimi and a variety of other seafood options to choose from. All of this amazing food can be paired with the perfect sake to complete a satisfying meal.

ELLY ISHIHARASTAFF WRITER

If you ever have a sudden urge to eat poke during this busy time of the semester, drive down to Kaimukī to satisfy your craving. Just a fi ve minute drive from the UH Mānoa cam-pus, Fresh Catch has captured the hearts of many poke-loving students.

The store is known for its abundance and variety of poke, which include: spicy poke, shoyu poke, fried poke, tako poke, fi reball poke, spicy salmon and many more. On top of the classic fl avors, such as shoyu and spicy poke, you will be able to fi nd poke which you have probably never heard of before, such as the spicy coconut ahi and the fi recracker poke.

One favorite is the poke fl avored with creamy spicy mayo on top of steaming hot rice. Students are fond of the store’s reasonable prices, good service, friendly workers, free parking and, of course, the freshness of the fi sh. Fresh Catch is the per-fect place for you to go if you want fresh

poke, or if you want to try an original poke.While you’re there, you can check out the

store’s options for lunch plates, including specials like sauteed garlic shrimp or thefurikakae salmon. Fresh Catch also makes a selection of soups and stews to enjoy.

Customers can also redeem HI-5 cans atRRR Recycling to receive a 5 percent discount on Fresh Catch purchases.

With locations in Kāne‘ohe, Kapolei, and Sand Island, students can grab fresh poke and lunches from anywhere on the island.

It’s 4 a.m. and you are starving. If you have not experienced this situation before, it is certain that you will before you graduate from college. This dilemma can prove to be daunting because most restaurants will be closed by that time.

However, you have nothing to fear. The home of the best musubi, the reigning cham-pion of the Best of UH, is still open.

7-Eleven is a popular convenience store with locations all over the island. Two stores are within walking distance from lower campus. Like many other conve-nience stores, they offer food, drinks, toi-letries and (at most locations) gas. Unlike other convenience stores, 7-Eleven offers a variety of freshly made local foods includ-ing hand-rolled sushi, bentos and — of course — musubis.

Although spam musubis are the most pop-ular type of musubi, 7-Eleven offers much more. Musubis topped with chicken, spam

and egg, and fi sh are available as long as they are in stock. Variety, generous portions, delicious taste and affordable prices (all under $2) are the intimidating set of assets that has made the 7-Eleven musubi the king of musubis for four years in a row.

When it comes to desserts, this restaurant takes the cake.

The Cheesecake Factory offers over 50 varieties of decadent cheesecakes and spe-cialty desserts, ranging from the classic original cheesecake to the “Ultimate Red Velvet” cheesecake.

Craving something less cheesy? Other desserts include the “Chocolate Tower Truf-fl e Cake,” made up of layers of fudge with chocolate mousse and chocolate truf-fl e cream. For something lighter, try a lem-oncello cream torte, featuring vanilla cake and lemon mascarpone cream topped with streusel and served with strawberries and whipped cream.

All this sugary goodness is served in a softly-lit space, brimming with atmosphere. This restaurant is popular with UH students because it boasts reasonable (for Waikīkī) prices. Plus, its convenient location makes it a good place to go for a date or after shopping.

Unfortunately, this means the restau-rant can get crowded, so go during brunch or lunch, and be sure to have a reservation beforehand. If you’re just looking for dessert, The Cheesecake Factory offers a counter where you can order your cakes to-go.

There are many delicious entrées on the menu, but we all know dessert is the most important course.


One can only consume so much instant ramen before starting to crave some nutri-tious fruits, veggies and other healthy goods.

While staying healthy can be diffi cult in college, especially when on a budget, stu-dents can benefi t from spending a little more on food to preserve both the body and mind.

Whole Foods was voted by UH students as the best place to go for healthy foods. The Kahala Mall location is a 10-minute drive or 20-minute bus ride away from campus, and there is also a Whole Foods in Kailua. Whole Foods features non-GMO, gluten-free, casein-free, local and organic products.

The store’s website profi les many of its local vendors, so customers can become familiar with the individuals their food is sourced from.

Furthermore, the Whole Foods website is also benefi cial for people searching for recipes, wanting to educate themselves about GMOs and needing information

about allergies. The Kahala location has a number of departments that go beyond healthy eating. Customers can fi nd pet products, alcohol, body products and fl o-ral items at this location. For students in need of something edible quickly, Whole Foods provides prepared meals.

They also sell a number of foods in bulk, such as pasta, nuts, trail mixes and more. Despite the challenges associated with eat-ing healthy in college, UH students consider Whole Foods to be the best place to go when in search of delicious and nutritious products.


Have a date coming up and need an inti-mate venue? Ka Leo’s readers say Shokudo, Japanese for “dining room”, is the place for a romantic meal out.

Variations on Japanese classics anchor the menu here, with items such as the sushi pizza ($14.15) and foot-long chicken katsu ($10.95). Want to keep your date interested in the meal? Order one of the ishiyaki (hot stone) bowls, which includes various ingre-dients, such as shrimp, scallops and rice, mixed together in a hot bowl that cooks the dish as the ingredients are mixed. Shokudo also offers a wide variety of sushi like their Lobster Dynamite Roll and their Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice.

The drink selection is more varied, offering beers, sake and blended drinks, among others.

Arguably, the most popular item at Shokudo is the honey toast ($7.45): two thick slices of white bread toasted, served cubed along with ice cream and — what else —

honey. For a dollar or two more, you can add other toppings such as crushed strawberrypurée, caramel or sweet red beans.

You can enjoy each of your courses in therestaurant’s Ala Moana location two miles away from the UH Mānoa campus. The din-ing room’s vaulted ceilings, low lighting and modern décor make this a romantic spot for a date close to campus.

With an all-vegetarian menu of fresh health foods from around the world inspired by Hawaiian, Mediterranean, European, Egyp-tian and Asian gourmet cuisine, Da Spot was voted the best food truck on campus by UH students.

Located in the Sustainability Courtyard between Sakamaki Hall and the Hawai‘i Insti-tute of Geophysics, the food truck is conve-nient for students heading to class who don’t have time to stop at Campus Center or the Hale Aloha Cafeteria. Da Spot’s off-cam-pus location is also conveniently located on South King Street, which is only an 11-minute walk from campus.

The food menu changes daily and can include items like Moussakka, Coconut Gar-masala Vege Curry and Grilled Lemon Herb Zucchini. Each plate comes with a side of salad and your choice of rice – typically white, brown or red. These hearty lunch plate combinations cost $5.50.

Da Spot’s menu also features 27 combina-tions of smoothies, such as the Kalakauan – a medley of mixed berries, bananas, pome-granate sorbet and apple juice. This food truck has options for chocolate and peanutbutter lovers as well, like Queens – a blend of peanut butter, bananas, açai sorbet and soymilk. Da Spot offers a create-your-own-mixoption with fruits, sorbets and juices. Sizescome in small (16 oz), medium (20 oz) and large (32 oz), ranging from $3 to $5.

Whether you’re stopping by for a meal ora smoothie break between classes, Da Spot is the place to go.

SAMMI BAUMALOHA NIGHTS EDITOR

Mai Tai is conveniently located on the top fl oor of the Ala Moana Shopping Cen-ter, and is a student favorite for the exten-sive drink menu and live entertainment (with no charge).

Amongst the favored Mai Tai cocktails are martinis, beers, wines and signature cock-tails like the North Shore Lemonade contain-ing Bacardi Big Apple rum, Disaronno and lemonade.

For students choosing not to drink, Mai Tai also has a food menu containing coco-nut shrimp, chicken skewers, french fries, sal-ads, sandwiches and more. For those who need something sweet, they also offer a key lime pie.

Live entertainment is provided by local bands such as Roots Odyssey, Guidance, the Shar Carillo Band and Kimo Opiana.

Other great eateries surround Mai Tai, which makes this bar the perfect after-meal spot. Once you’ve had a taste of the Mai Tai

Bar, you’ll never want to experience a cock-tail anywhere else.

For the happy hour crew out there, every-day from 4 p.m. - 7 p.m., you will fi nd drink and food specials for $5. For the late night crew, from 8 p.m. - 11 p.m., well drinks are $4, beers range from $2-$9 and specialty drinks are $5. Mai Tai provides fast and friendly ser-vice with a welcoming atmosphere, which is why it continues to be a Mānoa favorite.

IKAIKA SHIVELEYASSOCIATE FEATURES EDITOR

Let’s be real, whether it’s fi nding obscure alcohol or brands imported from around the world, it’s somewhat of a pain when you're on O‘ahu. Even if you fi nd your favorite brand from the mainland, it may cost a few extra bucks. Thankfully, Tamura’s can be found 1.5 miles away from campus.

While it may be a little out of the way for students without transportation, the voyage is indeed worth it. Once you enter Tamura’s, you realize that this is the destination to fi nd beer, fi ne wine and spirits. Not only will you fi nd typical Napa Valley wines, but the more obscure wines of the superior Paso Robles County in central California. Besides wine, there are various spirits that would typically not be found in the common grocery store.

Tamura’s also offers a variety of poke that should not be missed. It’s one thing to have a great selection of alcohol, but with the addition of "ono grinds," the store has an even higher value. With a slew of selec-

tions in cheeses, crackers, and meats, Tamu-ra's has a wine-tasting night covered. They also offer a wide selection of poke and sea-food as well with favorites including shoyu, limu and spicy ahi.

Whether you are a gentleman looking for Woodford Reserve, a “wino” in search of Chronis Cellar’s “Sofa King Bueno” or want-ing to try out a new drink, Tamura’s is the premium liquor store for you.


M Nightclub is one of the few clubs on O‘ahu that require a dress-code for both men and women, which allows for a class-ier atmosphere. Also included are lounge spaces and booths for reservation with bot-tle service. This venue comes equipped with three fully stocked bars containing top shelf bottles like Grey Goose, Ciroc and Dom Peri-gnon. Most of the alcohol available can be purchased for bottle service.

The rates vary depending on alcohol, but in general, bottle service will run anywhere from $290 - $3,220. Though these rates are pricey, M Nightclub is a favorite because you get what you pay for.

Events are available to reserve as well, and these include bachelor/bachelorette parties, reunions and birthday parties – many have the option of a chocolate fountain and prime rib carving station.

If you’re looking for a good happy hour, the M provides discounted prices on food

and drink items on the menu, including sushi and mojitos.

During the weekend, the M Nightclub is open until 4 a.m. Very few clubs are open this late, which is why students continue to vote for M Nightclub.

It’s 10 a.m., and the events from last night seem a bit fuzzy. You remember going to Chinatown, drinking the fi rst few rounds of drinks, and doing some wild disco moves, but that’s about it. Your mouth is desert dry and it feels like you haven’t eaten in days. Thank-fully, the 24-hour, locally owned restaurant Zippy’s has your cravings covered, no matter when you wake up.

Zippy’s has everything a hungover col-lege student could want: burgers and fries, sandwiches, nachos, burritos, saimin, fried chicken, breakfast pancakes and its famous chili. If you need something sweet to make the pounding in your brain go away, Napo-leon’s Bakery inside Zippy’s has an assort-ment of cakes, cookies, pies and other pastries. Sitting down in the restaurant side means you can take advantage of unlimited water, a great way to fi ght the dehydration from the night before.

The quick service and casual dining com-

bination was started in 1966 by the Higa brothers, and remains family operated today despite expanding across O‘ahu, Maui and the Big Island. Satisfy your stomach whilesupporting a local business.

BEST SMOKE SHOP BEST TATTOO PARLOR

BREE-LATIFAH PETTWAY-DELA CRUZCONTRIBUTING WRITER

With prices to fi t college students’ budgets, it’s no wonder that Pipeline Smoke Shop is a fan favorite. Upon entering Pipeline, cus-tomers are greeted with a strong aroma of calming incense, a hint of the many tobacco wrappers and a friendly face.

There are a few glass cases lined with quite the view: an array of various glass pipes, water pipes and bubblers. Each of the pieces are unique in its own way, and there are various shapes and sizes. Every tobacco enthusiast is sure to fi nd something to fi t his or her needs.

Pipeline is about a 15 minute walk from campus and prides itself on having one of the largest selections of glass pieces and other smoking paraphernalia on O‘ahu. The friendly staff are more than willing to provide assistance with any questions you may have regarding your smoking needs.

Sales are advertised left and right. For example, 50 percent off the entire store, or

purchase one product and get the other for $4.20 are sales that make students fl ock to the scene. The sales are regular and students won’t need to reach too deep into their pock-ets to purchase a satisfying piece.

If the prices aren’t something that already make you jump for joy, the ambi-ance is nothing short of positive vibes and you’re guaranteed to walk out with a smile on your face.


Singing your heart out is always fun whether it’s in the shower or at karaoke. When it’s the latter, only the best equipment should be used to help you sound your best.

Krazy Karaoke continues to reign supreme amongst its competitors for microphones, settings and speakers that can turn anyone into Beyoncé. In addition, Krazy Karaoke has multiple song booklets with over 100 differ-ent tracks — new and old — for a fun experi-ence no matter the occasion.

The best part of Krazy Karaoke is the stu-dent discount offered on Wednesday nights; with a valid ID, students and faculty will get one hour free after purchasing the fi rst. The room rates range from $12-$90 depend-ing on the size of the space; the larger the room, the pricier, but the tab can be split between you and your party. Parties of up to 60 guests can be accommodated. Krazy Kara-oke is BYOB, and the establishment allows large parties to bring food. With the end of

the semester nearing, booking a space to party for graduation or other purposes will make for a fun end-of-the year karaoke fest. Rooms book quickly, so make sure to reserve a spot in advance.


Tattoo Hawaii brings together a team of fi ve skilled professionals with “over 100 years of combined tattoo experience,” according to the location’s website.

Artists Dave and Peggy Sucher, Doug Wheeler, Kobi Yasutake and Stolfi El Sinti work diligently to bring their designs and piercings to life. If the tattoo you received needs fi xing, Tattoo Hawaii will turn a sun into a Picasso.

Another huge plus is the shop’s loca-tion; it is conveniently located close to campus and ample amounts of students visit throughout the year to obtain unique designs, permanent makeup like eyeliner and eyebrows and piercings.

Before deciding on a design, Tattoo Hawaii recommends a free consultation, which is offered with the artist of your choice. All artist portfolios can be found online and designs range from tribal art to written words to custom art unlike anything found

at other local parlors – if you have an idea, let the artist know and he or she will draw a design and work with you to perfect this permanent artwork.

Tattoos are forever, and this parlor makessure you’ll leave happy. The consistency andquality that Tattoo Hawaii artists bring are some the many reasons why students prefer this parlor over others.

ANGUSINA CAMPBELLOPINIONS EDITOR

New students are surprised when they come to Hawai‘ i and see hordes of mopeds being driven all over the street. To other students at the University of Hawai‘ i, such a sight is common.

In fact, UH has had a recurring problem with moped thefts this academic year. More than 10 incidents were reported last semes-ter, and this semester the number of stolen bikes continues to increase.

If your moped has been stolen or has broken down, perhaps you should head over to J.P.’s Moped Shop. It is a small, fam-ily-owned shop located near campus. Aside from being voted one of the Best of UH win-ners by university students, this shop has also received rave reviews on Yelp where students recognize them for their fast and effi cient services.

Students can bring their mopeds in to be repaired or to receive new parts. Service is friendly, quick and effi cient. Repair services

include oil changes, tire service and parts replacement.

J.P’s Moped Shop offers name brands like GTX with a two stroke Yamaha motor and SYM DD50 with a Honda motor. Some of the mopeds offered are in their last year of production.

In Hawai‘i, all mopeds require a Class 1 license for moped use if you do not have a driver’s license. The registration fee is also much cheaper than for a vehicle.

BEST SWIMWEAR BEST SURF STORE

NICOLE DAVISSENIOR STAFF WRITER

San Lorenzo has multiple locations around the island where you can buy Brazilian biki-nis. Established in Lima, Peru, the company set up its fi rst Hawai‘ i location in 2002.

San Lorenzo has different styles of swim suits to choose from: one pieces, tops and bottoms. The store’s swim pieces come in different cuts and styles, tailored for differ-ent tastes. The fabric sold here is soft and the prints of the suits range from solid col-ors to fl oral and animal prints.

No matter what your taste is, you will fi nd something that you love here. San Lorenzo features Brazilian bikinis, so the store’s bot-toms have minimum to very low coverage — perfect for tanning — but may not appeal to everyone.

Prices vary from around $70 to upwards of $110, which are average prices for Brazil-ian bikinis. San Lorenzo also sells designer swimwear at stores like L*Space, Mikoh, Aca-cia and more.

Stop by one of these stores, the closest is located on King Street (about a half mile away from school), to check out the selec-tion of bikinis.

There are fi ve locations around the island: (Haleiwa, Kailua, Ala Moana, Waikīkī and Uni-versity) all that offer discounts for students and sales year-round.


As college students, we don’t necessar-ily have buckets of money to spend on our clothes and we can’t be picky about what we can get with the bang of our buck. Pla-to’s Closet, voted by UH students as the best boutique, solves that problem.

Plato’s Closet is located on South Bereta-nia Street where students can take either Bus 1 or 13 to get to the consignment store. The shop not only sells clothing, but buys from everyone as well. Taking seasonal trends into consideration, students can get cash on the spot for clothes they haven’t worn in years.

Most of the time students can fi nd and sell brands like Brandy Melville, Steve Madden, Hurley, and much more. With a wide selec-tion for both men and women, Plato’s Closet offers everything from sweaters and jackets to shorts and tank tops. Watch out for the time though, as they stop taking in items half an hour before they close.

Plato’s Closet’s inventory rotates depend-

ing on what sellers have brought into the store, so there’s always something new. From buying almost brand new Nike shoes for $20 to getting sunglasses for $5, this store’s prices run up to 70 percent less than what you would pay at the mall.

Plato’s has a large range of carefully selected clothing and accessories for everyone.

Founded in 1971 by Craig Sugihara, T&C Surf Shop is one of the go-to places for all surf and skate goods on the island. With seven franchises located all over O‘ahu, the shop continues to perpetuate stoke and aloha to its loyal customers.

The shop sells a range of products includ-ing men’s and women’s apparel and acces-sories, surfboards and skateboards that go with a laid-back, casual lifestyle. It features popular brands such as Hurley, Volcom, Her-schel, Nixon and RVCA. The shop also pres-ents an impressive variety of accessories like watches, lanyards, hats, slippers, bags and skate accessories.

What sets it apart from other shops is its own T&C brand featured on its apparel and surfboards. Local sayings such as, “I no late, I stay on Hawaiian Time,” are printed on T-shirts, and these have become some of T&C’s most popular products. The shop also offers a stock of surfboards that range from

mini tankers to short fi shes that also carry the iconic brand and are made by local shapers.

Students who are looking to get into surf-ing would fi nd that T&C offers reasonableprices for boards of excellent quality. Offer-ing both Tanaka longboards and Pang short-boards, there’s something here for everyone.Even beach bums and laid-back students will fi nd great deals on apparel and accessories that meet and fi t their lifestyle.

There may be several fi nancial institu-tions on or near campus, but University of Hawai‘ i Federal Credit Union (UH FCU) has two locations at Mānoa: one at cam-pus center, the other in the northeast cor-ner of campus.

However, access is only one part of the picture. UH FCU is a fi nancial cooperative, originally founded by faculty members in 1955. In general, credit unions are not-for-profi t institutions and offer rates on loans or other fi nancial services that are cheaper than for-profi t banks.

UH FCU also offers many of the same services as banks, including retirement accounts, car loans, mortgages and a notary. You can also manage your money or develop a plan to save for next semes-ter’s tuition at uhfcu.com. The credit union is also connected to others on the con-

tinental U.S., allowing you to access your money when you’re away from Hawai‘ i. If you’re just across town from the UH cam-pus and need cash, you can use an ATM operated by First Hawaiian Bank or Amer-ican Savings Bank free of charge.

KA LEO SPECIAL ISSUEBEST OF UH 2015

Dear Reader,We write a lot of articles here at Ka Leo. We are a newspa-

per, after all. Many of our articles dispense friendly advice to members of the student body, such as suggestions for last minute studying, or reviews of various food substances, mov-ies and theatre productions. However, it’s time for something new. This issue, you won’t be listening to us – you’ll be listen-ing to yourself. Through our writers, you will hear your voice. Welcome to the Best of UH issue.

We collected votes from members of the UH community and tallied them to create a list of the crème de la crème restaurants, clothing establishments, night life scenes and more around the university. Our writers have taken your top choices and written a variety of articles detailing why each location is so popular, as well as provided information about how to fi nd and contact the winners. However, some of the of the votes were close, so we also present the fi rst and sec-ond runner-ups.

Want to know what awaits you within this guide to the best of everything at the university? For those interested in a caffeine boost, most people on campus enjoy “Cof-fee Bean and Tea Leaf” for their morning (or afternoon, or evening) coffee. While riding that caffeinated high, consider riding some waves after purchasing a board or some accessories from “T&C,” voters’ favorite surf shop. Or, if you would prefer a more relaxing activity, “Yoga Hawaii” is the place to be for yoga. For the roman-tics out there, “Shokudo” seems to be the best place for a fancy date night, and for those who want to keep things simple, “Rainbow Drive-In” was voted the top restaurant for a plate lunch. Looking for some night life? “Mai Tai” was voted best bar, “M” for best night club, and, for your hangover cure the morning after, the UH com-munity suggests “Zippy’s.” If you prefer to fi x that headache with something fresh, grab a smoothie from “Lan-ikai Juice,” or check out voters’ preferred health food spot – “Whole Foods.” Finally, we here at Ka Leo couldn’t resist tossing in our own opinion; check out our “Staff Picks” online if you want to know where we like to visit.

Well, fellow members of the UH community, this is your issue. You know what’s up. Browse the pages and enjoy your impeccable taste.

Living in Hawai‘ i can get expensive quickly, especially if you’re trying to fi nd housing near the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa. However, students can get the full college experience by living with UHM Stu-dent Housing, voted by UH students as the best housing.

With several different options in either apartments or dormitories, UHM Student Housing Services (SHS) is looking out for everyone’s interests. In the Wainani and Noelani Apartments, each unit comes with a kitchen and bathroom, allowing stu-dents to feel more independent.

If you would prefer to live on upper campus, Hale Laulima and Kahawai are your best options. While both aren’t located near the cafeterias, they’re con-vientantly located near Paradise Palms.

As a freshman, the Hale Aloha Towers allow students to be close to the Hale Aloha Cafeteria and at the center of the various activities planned by SHS.

By living on campus, your rent is all-in-

clusive, giving you the means to save your money or spend it elsewhere. Heavy traf-fi c or a long commute to school will no longer be a concern. If you have a meal plan, you’ll be able to use meals at not only Hale Aloha Cafeteria, but Gateway, The Market and certain locations on upper campus as well.

SHS gives students a simple solution to their housing needs, and allows them to get to know each other in a safe and secure setting.


For those living in the dormitories, the end of the semester presents the same problem year after year: what do you do with your stuff?

Trunk-It storage offers a suitable solu-tion. Students can store their belongings while they return home and pick them up when they return to school. Trunk-It offers students the convenience of sup-plying boxes and tape, which can save students money.

Another major advantage of using Trunk-It storage is that the company offers to pick up the items directly from the dormitories or the apartments. The company also offers to deliver the items back to the students once they return to the island. Deliveries begin around 9 a.m. and are completed around 2 p.m.

According to Trunk-It.com, the company

offers a secure indoor warehouse that is free of rats and mold.

Trunk-It accepts all major credit cards, debit cards, checks, money orders, Pay-Pal and cash. Trunk-It also offers a 10% discount for any customer that brings in a new customer.

The storage company offers three summer packages ranging between $130-$336. The packages depend on the number of boxes needed. The price quote includes the boxes, tape, marker, pickup and delivery.

Trunk-It also offers to store items for students who will be delaying their return to school.

COURTNEY TEAGUEASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

Students signing up for Chef Mark Segobiano’s Food Science and Human Nutrition (FSHN) 141: Cul-ture and Cuisine course this sum-mer are in for a treat – of renowned international fare, that is.

In an effort to make an entertain-ing and engaging nutrition class that addresses the cultural and his-torical aspects of culinary customs, Segobiano started up the class about fi ve years ago and crafted it especially to be open to and digestible by students of all majors.

“Most of the classes that I teach are Food Science and Human Nutri-tion classes for dietetic students ... but this class I designed strictly to be fun and learn about the world history of food,” Segobiano said. “And so far, I think the students have enjoyed it.”

The lecture and interactive lab combo gives students the oppor-tunity to develop and refi ne cooking skills in a spacious, restau-rant-sized kitchen while knock-ing out three credits. The course counts towards UH Mānoa’s global and multicultural perspectives (FG) graduation requirement.

The lab portion of the class, which doesn’t count for a lab credit, allows students to get a hands-on expe-rience in preparing recipes from around the globe, with a new theme for each of the self-serve “feasts.”

“We do four international tast-

ings. Everybody gets to cook once, but everybody comes to all four tastings to eat,” Segobiano said.

The chef asks a $20 partic-ipation fee of all students to help cover the cost of supplies, which comes out to $5 per heap-ing plate –a deal that Segobiano noted is difficult to come by on

O‘ahu. Fees are not mandatory for class enrollment, but buys the student — or anyone who shows up, since tastings are open — a meal for the night.

Segobiano said this semester’s class reached capacity within three days. When he added another class, that too fi lled up in a few days and nearly every hour he received a request for admission.

UNDERSTANDING A CULTURE THROUGH ITS FOOD

Segobiano feels that the kinds of food a group of people eat can tell a lot about them.

“One of the best ways to learn about people from other countries and other cultures is to fi rst learn about their food,” Segobiano said.

“What do they eat, and why do they eat it?”

The course material also covers the dietary habits of a multitude of societies across the years.

“We talk about religion, we talk about ethnicity, geography, we try to cover a lot of bases. We start with Mesopotamia and cavemen

and whatnot and we go all the way to modern-day fast food,” Segobiano said.

Katie Searles, a student of the class in her fi rst semester at UH Mānoa, initially signed up for the course as an alternative to other history classes that fulfi ll the FG requirement.

She found the course taught her a lot about cooking and said she would recommend it to other students.

“Normally you would dread a three hour class, but I don’t,” Searles said. “He makes it really fun and enter-taining and it’s stuff that you use in life, it’s not just boring stuff he’s talking about while he’s lecturing.”

CUISINE FROM AROUND THE WORLDThe week of a tasting, Segobi-

ano will typically spend his entire Saturday and a few hours on Sun-day shopping around Honolulu for ingredients in order to fi nd the most budget-friendly options for his class.

Students are assisted by some of Segobiano’s other higher-level FSHN students decked out in white chef coats, whom he described as “volunteer sous chefs.”

Segobiano said 12 students are tapped to prepare food for each tasting and arrive at the Agri-cultural Science building’s fully equipped, industrial kitchen at 4 p.m. to begin cooking. Each student works at a station prepping a par-ticular item, sometimes switching positions with each other.

“Cooking tonight [was] really, really fun and it showed me a lot,” Searles said.

After two and a half hours of work in the kitchen, students line up to serve themselves a plate at 6:30 p.m.

After making their way down the buffet line, students then enjoy the food in a room across the hall set up with seating and a beverage station.

YEARS OF CULINARY EXPERIENCEWith a bachelor’s and master’s

in Hotel and Restaurant Man-agement from Purdue Univer-sity under his belt and a resumé boasting experiences from work-ing on cruise ships and at private clubs to teaching at Le Cordon Bleu Orlando and the Johnson &

Wales of South Carolina, Segobi-ano was well-versed in the culi-nary industry before arriving at the Mānoa campus.

“I had 20 years of experience before I came [to UH Mānoa], but it was always my goal to end up teaching. Teaching is my passion,” Segobiano said. “My dad taught for 40 years, so I’m just following in dad’s footsteps.”

Segobiano maintains a YouTube channel to showcase several of his students at work demonstrat-ing kitchen skills. He also teaches multiple FSHN classes at UH Mānoa such as The Chemical Nature of Food (FSHN 181), and Restaurant and Club Management (FSHN 311).

CULTURE&CUISINE


Since last year, the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa Wushu Club has remained relatively dormant. Junior Keli Brooke started the club her sophomore year, but due to con-straints in her personal life was unable to keep up. This year, that has all changed.

At the 23rd Annual Chinese Mar-tial Arts Tournament at the Univer-sity of California Berkeley, Brooke and fellow Wushu Club member Joel Jessen competed with stu-dents from around the west coast with one-to-two minute routines. Both Brown and Jessen came

home with two gold medals each, with Brown also receiving two sil-vers in the Contemporary Spear and Contemporary Other Weapon categories.

“If you’re looking for sports or athletic things, it covers strength, aerobic, conditioning, fl exibility,” said Jessen, who specializes in nan-quan, the part of wushu that origi-nated in the southern part of China commonly referred to as Southern Fist. “It really emphasizes the high-est level of each of those. If you’re looking for something deeper, it has cultural ties to it, you can’t talk about China without talking about Chinese martial arts. If you’re look-ing into self-defense, it’s an effec-

tive way for a contact sport.”Branching off of the Hawaii

Wushu Center near Queen’s Hos-pital, UH Mānoa’s Wushu club practices both forms of compet-itive wushu: taolu (forms) and sanda (sparring).

“There’s a lot of stretching, some movements,” Brooke said. “Basic fundamentals like kicks, once you get those down you can put those in a form. The forms are what judges base scores on. So you go out there like a gymnastics fl oor event, you put in a punch of kicks, punches, jumps, and that’s it.”

“Wushu” is a term used to refer to Chinese martial arts in general. However, wushu has developed

since the Cultural Revolution in China to become the national sport of the country – now a full-contact sport derived from traditional Chi-nese martial arts.

“[I tried] out gymnastics when I was younger, but I didn’t really like it. At age 8, they were like how about this? And there was this lit-tle girl with a sword, younger than me, and being all ‘Mulan’-ish and I was like, okay I’ll try it out,” Brooke said. “Once you do it, it becomes a life thing. Even if you don’t want it to, it becomes a part of you.”

Other club members said that their original fascination for wushu stemmed from their backgrounds in other forms of martial arts.

“It’s a full body workout, it’s a physical and mental thing,” Brooke said. “It teaches you to work hard and other really important life skills to have. Don’t give up, even if it’s tough. The overall workout will give you everything, from your legs to your waist, giving you a strong core.”

Members often fi nd their way into the club by being involved in other types of exercise.

“I teach parkour classes and I fi g-ured I would open up my movement vocabulary and so I decided to join and see what it’s all about,” said Eli Litzelman, a senior double-majoring in history and geography.

‘94%’IKAIKA SHIVELEY

ASSOCIATE FEATURES EDITOR

There’s something about the number 94 that developer SCIMOB is attracted to. Whether it’s sim-ply their favorite number or some-thing else entirely, SCIMOB has included the number in each of its three gaming apps; “94 seconds,” “94 degrees,” and now, “94%.”

Taking the basic gameplay style of the game show “Family Feud,” “94%” makes a question as simple as, “name something that requires a ticket,” and turns it into a head scratching challenge. The point of the game is to guess at 94% of the given answers from a sample sur-veyed population.

There are currently 54 stages, each with three levels, resulting in a whopping 162 questions. Upon Coins are rewarded upon beating a level.

There is an option to share the question via social media for help, but the most effi cient way is to use the “letter joker,” which costs 10 coins. The letter joker works as a hangman-type strategy, which gives you the fi rst letter of the answer.

The fact that there is no time limit is odd – it hinders the over-all challenge of the game. I would have rather enjoyed a set time limit to add even more pressure to the gameplay.

Although “94%” has some fl aws, there is potential for it grow into a strong contender on the app mar-ket if a few adjustments are made. That being said, it’s still fun to play and a great way to kill time.

Ever since I was a kid, I was always blown away by the beauty and power of the waves. Each unique wave talked stories of the vast wonderland we call the ocean. I was eight years old then and had a lively curiosity of the sea. On the way to the beach the next day, I was told by a friend that there are people that ride waves like a paintbrush stroke of a fresh canvas. “They call it surfing,” he said with a smirk. I have to see this for myself, I thought. The first time I watched someone surf, I had what they call a ‘sacred experience’ that lead me to a new dharma or a way of life. My parents only felt comfortable with the idea of me surfing at the age of 12. The realiza-tion awakened in me that I would never be alone again. The waves became my faithful friend and con-fidant when I felt happy or sad, in the sun or rain, the Mother Ocean was deliver-ing fresh and daily. I under-stood right away the power of harnessing energy. I drank nearly daily from the sweet nectar of the

ocean. I started meditat-ing before and after each surfing session and kept a high alkaline diet, hoping to achieve a higher state of mind. Eventually, my board became an extension of my soul, helping me har-ness this divine energy that the Great Kahuna’s would I daily baptized myself in the salty sea, purifying and blessing my mind, body and spirit. You can say it was as if I fell in love young unlike any other love story.

The respect I devel-oped with surfing started to take a dimensional shift. I started asking ques-tions. Where did surf-ing originate? How do waves develop? What’s the makeup of water? The guy next to me waiting for the next wave said, “water is really just pure energy” and that my lovely brothers and sisters became the start of a new frontier. I started questioning everything. I questioned Spirit, Mind and Body and how best know more about them. When-ever I stepped on the sand with my bare feet, I knew I was moments away from

communing with energy. Every day I made a pilgrim-age to a vast temple - my precious and sacred ocean. Every day I would wait on the shore, ushering in the final stand of each wave. After years of communing with many divine waves, I decided to study more about the energy that mas-querades as water. I started to feel something waking up deep within me. I must know the divine source of energy. I started learning various forms of meditation, Yoga, Quantum Physics, human body and nutrition, desiring to know the power of my mind. That gave more clarity on my existence while also leading me to the science of integrative nutrition, which I earned my recognition as an Inte-grative Health Coach.

I now understand that everything is made of sub-atomic particles swim-ming around in each atom. Atoms are made of 99.999 percent pure light energy. The air I breathe, clouds, mountain, ocean, our planet, stars and even the waves I love to ride

is 100 percent made of atoms. Everything includ-ing my body is made of pure light, which is when I realized that the only real-ity in everything is energy and that perception is the only reality. I was about to put my energy in motion. I started making my trips to the beach more and more and I discovered a sacred place within me. I realized the ocean isn’t the only thing with waves. It deep-ened my relationship with the divine spirit within me. The deeper I dived within, the more I understood without doubt. The warm sand started greeting me as an old friend with the suns warmth embracing me before the celebration. I sank to my knees and started praying while the waves chanted the divine name with each crash, announcing its arrival as an old friend coming to tell me of its journey of a cou-ple thousand miles. There was something happening, my sacred journey of awak-ening had started and have become Xen.

SHIINA LOSCIUTOSTAFF WRITER

Many UH students fi nd jobs on campus, at a shopping mall or as a babysitter. For two UH stu-dents, though, a typical day at work doesn’t involve answering phones or selling clothes. I talked to two women who work at PlayBar, a nightclub located on Kuhio Ave-nue in Waikῑkῑ. Both are waitresses, Or “bottle girls” as they are collo-quially called.

When Charissa Vallesteros and Ariel Lorenzen aren’t working, they’re sophomores at the Univer-sity of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa.

Being a bottle service girl comes with a reputation. When you think about bottle service girls at night clubs, most people think of beau-tiful girls dressed in risqué cloth-ing and full makeup, since getting bottle service is supposed to be a luxurious experience. What people might not realize is what these girls go through to get by.

The fi rst duty of these girls is to walk around asking customers if they would like something to drink, and this is where most people ask for bottle service. At PlayBar, bot-tle service comes with unlimited energy drinks, juice and water. The table is set up with cups and ice. Customers are guaranteed a table, and the girl will be at their service until they leave.

WHY WORK AT A BAR?Vallesteros has now been a bot-

tle girl for around six months. It was the only time she could work with-out having school and extracurricu-lar activities intrude.

“When I usually talk to people while serving their drink, they like to think that I’m just a girl work-

AUSTIN COEN / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I Charissa Vallesteros works nights

at Playbar when she isn’t in school. Though the job comes

with its negatives, there are a lot of perks, such as meeting people

from all over the world.

CUSTOMER ETIQUETTE

It’s important to remember that wherever you go, employees are human, too. Whether you’re at a restaurant or a night club, the people who work there are just trying to make money to survive. Here are some tips for being the best customer you can be to your server.

• Tip appropriately: between 10 and 20 percent of the bill

• Don’t assume everything that goes wrong is his/her fault

• Always say please and thank you

M O R E I N F O

ing at the bar to earn money,” Vall-esteros said. “But when I tell them that I’m also a full time student at UH who’s going to school as a pre-med biology major, they are liter-ally in shock.”

Lorenzen heard from a friend that PlayBar was hiring and decided that it sounded like fun. She applied right away and has been working there for a month. A waitress’s shift at PlayBar can be anywhere from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m., even on school nights. Both women go to class early the next morning.

THE DARKER SIDE OF WORKING AT A BAR

Like any job, being a bottle ser-vice girl has its ups and down. Recently, Lorenzen had an experi-ence with a group of older women which ended in ice getting thrown at her head after a customer swore she took away her bottle. The customer tried to get a free bottle and was upset when Loren-zen was leaving because she was done with her shift.

“I began walking away when I got ice chucked at my head from the drunk lady [who] said I took her bottle, I turned around furious and told the bouncer to kick her out. She made a big deal as she was dragged out, I just smiled. I don’t think drunk people understand that they’re the ones that are in the wrong, I’m sober and you’re drunk, I’m the one who’s in the right mind set.”

In Vallesteros’s half-year, she has also had her share of bad custom-ers. “Some guy was at the bar with me obviously drunk and trying to converse with me,” Vallesteros said. “But this night a guy just said some-thing highly inappropriate and I went off. I had to push him away from me and he legitimately fell over knock-

ing himself and his drink down. I don’t regret a thing.”

Female customers may become jealous of girls serving the guys they come to the club with. Vallesteros has been told she wasn’t fi t for the job and has been the subject of rac-ist remarks.

“There are nights where I’m tired of doing it, I’m tired of dealing with rude inconsiderate people,” Vall-esteros said. “I get stressed about school, people don’t tip on big tabs, it’s just a usual server job during ungodly hours.”

MISCONCEPTIONS“Many people like to just categorize

us [as] pretty imbeciles who just work there when in honesty this job pays for a lot of expenses that go towards school, rent, groceries and personal things,” Vallesteros said. “Yes, I enjoy my job, but what I do like to tell peo-ple is that I don’t do this for fun. If I had a choice, I’d be at home sleep-ing on school nights or going out on a Friday night with my friends. But it’s

a job, a job that fi ts in my schedule and serves me a pretty good income as a college student.”

The women agree that the best part of their job is their coworkers.

“It’s a big community and we’re like a big family,” Lorenzen said. “We mess around with each other and have a lot of fun.”

“The best thing about work I believe are the people,” Valles-teros said. “Never in a million years would I think to agree to be work-ing for a night club, but here I am. My coworkers are caring and great... they all seem to have your back.”

CHRISTIAN SHIMABUKUSTAFF WRITER

In what has been an inconsis-tent season for the University of Hawai‘ i baseball team, redshirt freshman Chayce Ka‘aua has done his part to buck the trend.

He has owned the catcher posi-tion, getting 34 starts and has been a steady presence at the plate, bat-ting .276 with 29 hits and 14 RBIs.

Ka‘aua had a history of rep-resenting Hawai‘ i on the base-ball fi eld before he even donned a Rainbow Warrior uniform. Along with current ‘Bows Quintin Tor-res-Costa and JJ Kitaoka, Ka‘aua’s Hilo Little League All-Star team won the 2011 Senior League World Series in Bangor, Maine.

“I always just wanted to play for the home team. It’s not far from my family and they can watch [on television] when they’re not here,” Ka’aua said. “There’s something about UH, I always wanted to play for them.”

Ka‘aua was one of the few hold-overs of head coach Mike Trapas-so’s 2013 recruiting class that saw fi ve players renege on their college commitments and go straight to the pros. The Hilo, Hawai‘ i native com-mitted to the ‘Bows as a sophomore in high school. For Ka‘aua, playing for his home state once again had a special allure for him.

THE SIDELINE STORY Ka‘aua was set to play his debut

season but was sidelined by aca-demic issues. As a result, he was forced to redshirt. However, Ka‘aua used the year to his advantage and has become a solid presence for the ‘Bows.

“It was good. I got a chance to get stronger, I could just watch the competition and just see how it was and study it,” Ka‘aua said. “It just gave me time to work out and

mature a little bit and get ready for the games.”

Trapasso also thought the year was benefi cial for Ka‘aua, but knew that the redshirt season could only do so much for him. Ka‘aua would have to prove him-self in live game action.

“I think it helped him because he used it the right way. He got stronger and used the year to just watch and learn what Division I baseball was all about,” Trapasso said. “There’s nothing you can do in a redshirt year to emulate fac-ing Division I pitching and there’s

nothing you can do to emulate the experience of playing and catching every day in the competition that we play, but he used it to under-stand what we’re all about and how we go about our business on a day-to-day basis.”

FULFILLING THE FORMULA In baseball, the catcher is one of

the most demanding positions on the fi eld. Trapasso has simplifi ed his demands for a catcher and Ka’aua

has strongly met those needs. “It’s receiving fi rst, blocking sec-

ond, throwing third and hitting fourth, in that order,” Trapasso said. “You should be able to receive, work with the pitching staff, block so pitchers can have no problem throwing breaking balls in the dirt, and then throw guys out. If you can hit on top of all that, that’s just icing on the cake. What he’s done is all four of those in the right order because he understands that’s the priorities that we want and that’s what he works on. You couldn’t fi nd a harder worker.”

Another elementary require-ment for a catcher is the mental aspect. Catchers should be able to have close relationships with their teammates, especially their pitch-ers. For Ka‘aua, he takes those needs to heart.

“It’s super important. You’re basi-cally running the whole fi eld some-times, so for a pitcher to have a good outing you need to gel with him, make sure they’re comfortable with you and talk to them.”

Starting pitcher Tyler Brashears has seen the impact Ka‘aua has made fi rsthand.

“He sets up well on the corners and he has very good receiving skills,” Brashears said. “I think our relationship is key because we want to be on the same page with every-thing that’s going on. He blocks the ball really well and I trust in him that if I bury a pitch in the dirt he’ll be able to block it.”

TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE OPPORTUNITY

As evidenced by Ka‘aua’s year away from the action, he’s now even more aware of the magni-tude of being able to play baseball at the college level and it’s some-thing he’s proud of.

“I take a lot of pride in it. Not everybody gets a chance to play DI baseball so we’re pretty lucky to have this chance,” Ka‘aua said.

“We’re like the pro team of Hawai’i so it’s pretty nice playing for the university and knowing that every-body is watching us.”

How redshirt freshman Chayce Ka’aua became a consistent presence on the Rainbow Warrior baseball team

He understands the priorities that we want and that’s what he works on. You couldn’t fi nd a harder worker.

DAVID MCCRACKENASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

Long Beach State’s Christina Kotsla steadied herself as she prepared to take the fi ve-meter penalty shot; after all, she had already scored a penalty earlier in the game.

But this time, she faced a new goalkeeper in one of the game’s deciding moments.

Sarah Logan wasn’t expecting to see any action this past Friday eve-ning for the Rainbow Wahine water

polo team as the backup keeper for Ymane Hage. Hage exited the game after Kotsla, scored her second goal of the game. Hage dove to the left to stop the shot, but was too late as she crashed into her goalpost. As she waded in the water afterward, it became obvious that something was wrong.

Long Beach State took a 5-4 lead off the goal but to add injury to insult, the Rainbow Wahine had a player down. Hage seemingly dislo-cated her left shoulder on the play and was forced to exit the game. As

Hawai’i’s medical trainers tried to pop her shoulder back into place, second string goalkeeper Sarah Logan jumped into the pool.

“Being the second goalie, I always have to be ready, no matter what,” Logan said. “I’ve been in that situ-ation before earlier in the season, so it’s always nerve-wracking but I just want to seize the opportunity and every second that I get to play. I’m just grateful and blessed that I can be in such a great competition.”

This wasn’t the fi rst occasion that Logan was forced into action under

these circumstances, and Rainbow Wahine head coach Maureen Cole felt comfortable inserting Logan into the lineup.

“We just threw [Logan] in there and she did an awesome job stop-ping a huge fi ve-meter [penalty] to stop them from going up,” Cole said.

Logan saved Kotsla’s second pen-alty shot of the game, denying her opponent a hat-trick. In fact, Logan didn’t concede a single goal for the fi nal quarter and a half that she played, inspiring her team to come from behind late in the fourth quar-

ter for a 7-5 victory.“That’s the great thing; we got

two great goalies so if Ymane isn’t back, Sarah has played a lot of games and we’ve had a lot of hugewins with Sarah throughout theseason, so either way we’ll be ready tomorrow in the cage.” Cole said.

UH scored three unansweredgoals in the fourth quarter, start-ing with a strike from utility player Paula Chillida Esforzado. Esforzado scored two goals against LBSU, and continued her scoring run into Sat-urday’s semifi nal matchup against CSUN (which Hawai’i won 6-5) where she found the back of the net four times.

Although she was Hawai’i’s light-ning rod on offense through theweekend, Esforzado would only give credit to her teammates; in particu-lar, to Sarah Logan.

“Ymane got injured so Sarah stepped up,” Esfrozado said. “She’s been doing great. We watched amovie called Rudy about a month ago and we were talking about resilience and that you never know when you were gonna play and you have to step up. She did great and I’m really happy for her.”

The crowd wasn’t chanting “Rudy! Rudy! Rudy!” like the 1993 football classic starring Sean Astin, but Logan felt the appreciation from the home crowd and her teammates as they supported her throughout the weekend’s slate of games.

“It was a combination of adrena-line and everything,” Logan said. “It feels amazing; it feels really good. It’s the equivalent for a goalie scor-ing a goal I guess, because they can’t really score. I just want to thank my team because they reallybacked me up…it was great.”

The No. 3 Rainbow Warrior vol-leyball team will look to defeat No. 5 Pepperdine in the MPSF Semifi -nal match Thursday evening in the third matchup between the teams this season.

Before the Warriors face off against the Waves (23-5, 17-5 MPSF), they had to get past the likes of No. 11 Long Beach State (15-13, 11-11) last Saturday night when Hawai‘ i hosted the opening round of the postseason tournament.

Though the ‘Bows (24-5, 18-4) eas-ily defeated the 49ers twice on the road during the regular season, Sat-urday’s face-off was not the case. Although the Warriors would even-tually sweep the match, they were forced to do so in comeback fash-ion, falling behind in both the sec-

ond and third sets, only to resurface in the fi nal minutes of those frames.

“We had to just keep believing,” senior outside hitter Brook Sedore said. “We win as a team, and we lose as a team. We lost to BYU as a team and we sure won tonight together as a team.”

Both teams kept the score tight early in the opening frame before UH went on a pair of short scor-ing runs to widen their advantage to 13-8 forcing LBSU into time-out. Following break, the Warriors’ momentum would continue and their overwhelming effort was high-lighted by a team hitting percentage of .429 and eight kills from sopho-more outside hitter Kupono Fey.

Long Beach State led through-out the entirety of the second set, spearheaded by fi ve unanswered points, giving them an eventual 13-5 lead. However, late in the

frame, backup setter Alex Jones was inserted into the lineup and guided the ‘Bows to three straight points and the comeback with 26-24 victory.

The fi nal frame remained close until LBSU pulled away with four unanswered points, gaining a 10-6 lead. From there, neither side would allow more than a pair of consecu-tive points from their opponent until a handful of LBSU errors allowed the ‘Bows to crawl within two, trail-ing 19-17. Jones was put back in the mix and helped the Warriors dodge four match points en route to the 27-25 comeback win.

LOOKING AHEADThe Warriors last faced Pepper-

dine in March when they played host and defeated the visitors in four sets and outlasting the Waves in a fi ve-set thriller two days later.

“I think they’re [Pepperdine] going to be slight favorites even though we beat them twice,” Alex Jones said. “Being in Southern California, us hav-ing to travel, and the likelihood that their star player is really going to step up means that at Monday’s practice we need to be a lot more aggressive.”

Since then, both teams have remained within the top fi ve of the AVCA national rankings, where Hawai‘i stood atop the chart for fi ve consecutive weeks before falling to No. 3 last week after dropping a pair of contests to No. 6 BYU.

The Waves most recently fell to UC Santa Barbara in their fi nal regu-lar season game, before eliminating them from the MPSF tournament this weekend in a 3-0 sweep.

“Our mindset has always just to keep getting better each game,” Sedore said. “It’s been our mind-set since day one, and if we con-

tinue to progress through every play and every ball, we’re going to have the national championship in our hands soon enough.”

‘Bows set sights on MPSF semif inal


Paula Chillida Esforzado led the Wahine into the final with six goals over the team’s two victories on Friday and Saturday.

DREW AFUALOSTAFF WRITER

As the Rainbow Wahine sand volleyball team heads into its last tournament of the season, the real preparation has started for the annual AVCA National Cham-pionships

The ‘Bows were awarded the No. 2 seed in the eight team champi-onship and will also feature teams in the pairs tournament. Tallying a record of 15-1, the Rainbow Wahine are favored heading into the cham-pionship tournament taking place in Gulf Shores, Alabama.

“Each year is a new year,” head coach Jeff Hall said. “We do have a game plan going in and we’re focused on trying to execute that game plan. But it’s really just about performing in the moment, cele-brating success and then getting on to the next point.”

The competition will be stiff as the ‘Bows are set to play top-seeded USC, Stetson, Georgia State, Pepperdine, Florida International, Florida State and Long Beach State. The tournament format is double-elimination, and then sud-den death when the teams head into the fi nal four.

Returning to the national cham-pionships for the second time in the team’s history, the ‘Bows are looking to come out on top this year. After beating both Florida International and USC in their trek to the top in 2014, the Rain-bow Wahine fell short when they

faced off against Florida State in the semifi nals.

“I think this time we just need more fi re,” senior Olivia Urban said. “Last year was something so new to us and I think we were all a bit star struck just being there ... This has been our goal all season and it’s fi nally here and we’re prepared.”

Nevertheless, Hawai‘i saw the same fate in the pairs tournament that followed. The pairing of former player Karissa Cook with senior Brit-tany Tiegs, competing as the No. 3 seed, made it all the way to the 2014 fi nals, only to fall to the USC pairing of Kirby Burnham and Sarah Hughes.

Additionally, sophomore Nikki Taylor competed with junior Katie Spieler at the No. 12 seed and advanced only to the 2014 semifi -nals before losing to USC’s Burn-ham and Hughes as well.

Leading this year’s team with the hopes of coming back with a cham-pionship title, and with a record of 28-7, the No. 2 pairing of Urban and Spieler. Urban is closing out her senior year with a bang, as she has bested all of her personal records from last year.

“I think we [the seniors] just want to leave a legacy,” Urban said. “We just want to work really hard and

leave everything we have on the court and set an example for the younger girls. So hopefully they look up to us enough and want to copy our work ethic.”

As a junior, Urban recorded a 20-8 overall record and went 10-5 in dual matches. She went 6-4 in the No. 4 fl ight and 4-1 at the No.

5 fl ight. The northern California native also went 10-3 in tourna-ment play and 22 of her 28 matches with sophomore London Chow as her partner, posting a 15-7 overall mark. Along with Chow, Urban went a perfect 5-0 during the Big West Challenge.

Before Urban began her career with the ‘Bows, she was already making her mark on sand volley-ball. Urban played two seasons at Santa Rosa Junior College in Cali-fornia and was named a 2012 junior college All-American.

“I think that Olivia [and the other seniors] are all just awesome,” Spieler said. “They’ve kind of set a pace for what this program should be at and they’re all amazing ath-letes … it will be a really big loss for us when they leave, but I think they set a really good culture for the team.”

Spieler is no stranger to success

in the sand as well. As a sopho-more, Spieler was named an AVCA All-American and went 35-13 while playing with current fellow team-mate and AVCA All-American, soph-omore Nikki Taylor. She played all her matches with Taylor at the No. 2 position and advanced to the quar-terfi nals at the 2014 AVCA National Championships.

Spieler posted a 18-6 record in dual matches and 17-7 in tourna-ments, as well as posting identical 19-3 records in dual and tourna-ment play with current teammate and senior Brittany Tiegs.

Along with the likes of Spieler and Urban, the other pairing to look out for at the national cham-pionships this year would have to be senior Brittany Tiegs with soph-omore Nikki Taylor. Tiegs is in her last year as well, and has done all she can to leave her legacy at Hawai‘ i one to remember.

As a junior, Tiegs was already making a name for herself and the Rainbow Wahine. In 2014 she was named as an AVCA All-American as well, having made it to the fi nals. She went 38-6 while playing all her matches with fellow All-Amer-ican and former teammate Karissa Cook, all at the No. 1 position. She advanced to the fi nals in four other pairs tournaments, managing to take the gold in three of them.

Tiegs also posted a 21-3 record in dual matches and 21-4 in tour-naments, as well as a 19-3 record in dual tournament play. She tallied an 8-4 mark in three-set matches

and won 16 of her fi rst 17 matchesof the year, while managing a sea-son-long 11 match win streak.

Paired with the talented Tiegs, is the equally impressive Nikki Taylor.As a freshman, Taylor was named an AVCA All-American as well. She also went 35-13 while playing all matches with Spieler, and advanced with her to the 2014 AVCA NationalChampionship quarterfi nals.

Taylor also advanced to the fi nals in four pairs tournaments, while posting an 18-6 record indual matches and 17-7 in tourna-ments overall. The O‘ahu nativealso tallied a 3-7 mark in three-set matches, while simultaneously stringing together a nine-match win streak during season.

With the help of Urban andSpieler, along with Tiegs and Taylor, the Rainbow Wahine are thinking positively heading into the Alabama based tournament.

The ‘Bows have managed to reg-ister a strong record with a consis-tent season of wins. As they head into the fi nal leg of the 2015 season, they hope to bring some of that momentum to the AVCA NationalChampionships this year.

“I think that, for all of us, last year was our fi rst ever National Championships, [with the excep-tion of Brittany],” Spieler said. “So I think we just gained a lot of expe-rience and learned what the pres-sure feels like, and if anything itjust made us more hungry to win it all this year.”

This has been our goal all season it’s fi nally here and we’re prepared.

Nichole Cruz ended in seventhplace while Izzy Leung fi nished tiedfor 10th and was also named to thesecond-team all-Big West after thefi nal day.

NICK HUTHSPORTS EDITOR

BASEBALLThe Rainbow Warrior base-

ball team returned home to Les Murakami Stadium to face the No. 7 UC Santa Barbara Gauchos. On Friday, the ‘Bows were shutout 5-0 by UCSB and the second best MLB prospect in the country, Dillon Tate. The offense came alive for a brief moment on Saturday, with Kaeo Aliviado breaking an 0-for-22 slump to bring in Stephen Ventimilia for the only run of the game. Quintin Torres-Costa came in to earn the save to keep Tyler Brashears’ 1-0 shutout intact.

SOFTBALLThe Rainbow Wahine softball

team took on UC Santa Barbara for a three-game series. Hawai‘i scored fi rst on Friday, going up 3-0 behind Brittany Hitchcock’s performance on the mound. Kanani Aina Cabrales got the save after she got out of a bases loaded jam in the seventh inning to win the game 3-2.

Hawai‘ i dropped the rest of the games in the series when it lost a pair of games in a doubleheader on Saturday. The Gauchos fell behind to start the day, but responded in the top of the sixth to eventually win 5-3. Like the rest of the series, UH scored fi rst in the fi nal game, only to give up fi ve straight runs to drop the game 5-1. Hitchcock pitched a complete game, allowing eight hits.

MEN’S VOLLEYBALLIn the fi rst postseason match

of the season, the Rainbow War-rior volleyball team swept Long Beach State in dramatic fashion. After handling the 49ers in the fi rstset, Hawai‘ i fell behind in the sec-ond set before rallying for the 26-24victory. In the fi nal set UH droppeda number of early points, forcingthem to come back again to win theset 27-25. Sinisa Zarkovic notched 18 kills to lead the ‘Bows to the semifi nal, where they’ll face Pep-perdine at UC Irvine’s home court.

WATER POLOThe Wahine battled back from a

fourth-quarter defi cit in the tour-nament opener. Against No. 6 Long Beach State, UH struck fi rst, but surrendered four goals in the third quarter to give the 49ers the lead heading into the fi nal frame. Hawai‘ i responded with three unanswered goals to top LBSU 7-5 and head into the semifi nal.

Against No. 10 Cal State Northridge in the semifi nal, the Wahine responded in the fourth quarter for a second straight match. With the game tied at fi ve in the fi nal frame, Paula Chillida Esforzado fi nished the power play to give UH the 6-5 advantage that would send them into the fi nal.

SAND VOLLEYBALLThe Wahine wrapped up their reg-

ular season last weekend at the inau-gural Aloha Invitational at Queens Beach in Waikiki. Hawai‘i took four of its fi ve matches in both the semifi -nals against No. 8 UCLA and in the fi nal against No. 6 Long Beach State. Olivia Urban and Katie Spieler fell in the semifi nal to the Bruins, but bounced back in the fi nal to defeat their counterparts in three sets.

The 49ers took the title due to the highly weighted lead pairing matchup, which was worth fi ve points. In the No. 1 fl ight, Brittany Tiegs and Nikki Taylor lost in two sets to Delainey Aigner-Swesy and Chelsea Cabrajac.
