State short on doctors, JABSOM assessment shows

A John A. Burns School of Med-icine Physician Workforce Assess-ment shows a shortage of doctors in the state of Hawai‘ i, a shortage estimated to grow to 1,500 within fi ve years.

“We have spent four years mon-itoring the supply and demand for physicians, and instituted several programs to attract or keep more doctors working in Hawai‘ i,” said JABSOM Professor Kelley Withy, the primary investigator for the Physi-cian Workforce Assessment.

According to the assessment, the state is short 890 full-time doctors. Physicians in infectious disease is at 65 percent: 13 infectious disease specialists statewide; the popula-tion demand, however, is 24. These are doctors that patients would need to see for antibiotic resis-tant wounds, HIV/AIDS or other dis-eases diffi cult to treat or diagnose, according to a press release.

The shortage of general sur-geons is at more than 51 per-cent, with only 55 surgeons seeing patients when the estimated demand calls for 112.

The shortages are greatest in:• Family medicine (174 additional

doctors needed)• General surgery (57 needed)• Pathology (44 needed)• Internal medicine (39 needed)• Orthopedic surgery (36 needed)• Cardiology (32 needed)• Anesthesia (31 needed)• Neurology (31 needed)

The University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa saved $3.4 million on energy costs last year, according the the university Tuesday.

“When they come to Mānoa, stu-dents should know that they are coming to a university that exem-plifi es solutions to the problems that face us in the 21st century – problems like sustainability and cli-mate change,” Robert Bley-Vroman, UH Mānoa Chancellor said.

Reduced energy costs were achieved through strategic air con-ditioning, lighting and building con-

trol retrofi tting projects. Additionally, UH Mānoa also has the state’s fi rst [Leadership in Energy & Environmen-tal Design] Platinum laboratory facil-ity: the Center for Microbial Oceanog-raphy: Research and Education.

LEED is a green building certifi -cation that recognizes best build-ing practices. Buildings, such as Gartley Hall and the IT Center, have achieved LEED certifi cation.

“What we are moving towards now is going beyond LEED, a much more aggressive look at building performance,” UH Mānoa Interim Assistant Vice Chancellor Stephen Meder said.

Moving forward, the univer-sity plans to add more photovol-taic panels in order to generate another 1.5 to 2 megawatts of elec-tricity. The added PV arrays are projected to reduce the campus’s energy demand by 10 percent. Also part of UH’s plans is a retrofi t of 80,000 square feet of classrooms and offi ces at Kuykendall Hall, which will reduce the hall’s energy demand by 60 percent.

A University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa professor with the Department of Atmospheric Sciences is the recipient of the American Meteorological Society’s highest honor.

Bin Wang, professor in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences, was awarded the 2015 Carl-Gustaf Rossby Research Medal by the American Meteorological Society “for creative insights leading to important advances in the understanding of tropical and monsoonal processes and their predictability,” according to a release Friday.

The award is presented to indi-viduals who contribute to the understanding of the structure or behavior of the atmosphere.

Wang, who has been with the uni-versity since 1987, is a world-lead-ing meteorologist who specializes in climate and atmospheric dynamics, monsoon research and in the devel-opment of meteorological sciences

and climate predictions in the Asia-Pacifi c region.

Wang’s publications have more than 20,000 citations, with 65 papers having more than 100 cita-tions each on Google Scholar.

UH alumna donates $25K, portion of estate to PACE

A University of Hawai‘i business school alumna has donated thou-sands of dollars and a portion of her estate to the Pacifi c Asian Center for Entrepreneurship (PACE) at UH Mānoa’s Shidler College of Business.

“Our next generation of leaders has to be imbued with entrepre-neurial skills,” said Sharon Weiner, a 1975 graduate from the Executive MBA program at the Shidler College of Business. “I am so proud to be able to support PACE in providing this vital course of study.”

Weiner has committed $25,000 and “a signifi cant portion of her estate,” according to a release. Weiner’s estate gift will sup-port entrepreneurial education and help UH Mānoa monetize research efforts through the Sha-ron Weiner StartSmart Entrepre-neurship Endowment, which she originally funded in 2010 with a gift of $150,000.

“Whether a person starts a busi-ness or joins a management team, thinking creatively, independently and spontaneously, as well master-ing basic business skills, are essen-tial to his or her success,” she said.

The initiative has raised $1.9 mil-lion to date. Her investment sup-ports the fi ve-year PACE initiative to raise $3 million to create new programs and to expand the busi-ness school.

Campus adds additional sexual harassment, assault training

Since investigators from the U.S. Department of Education’s Offi ce for Civil Rights came to UH Mānoa last April, campus offi cials have increased training on sexual assault and sexual harassment, as reported by the Honolulu Star-Ad-vertiser.

Since the investigation, which UH spokesman Dan Meisenzahl refers to as an “audit,” the campus has

worked to reduce criticisms that may be in the DOE’s report. This would begin the process for UH to negotiate a “Voluntary Resolution Agreement” with the Offi ce for Civil Rights to address any shortcomings.

In the fi rst part of 2014, Jennifer Rose, the campus’s gender equity specialist, held 20 training workshops. After April, she held 28 additional ses-sions through the end of the year.

But some faculty have not heard about these trainings, such as Meda Chesney-Lind, chairwoman of the women’s studies department,who was not asked to discuss sex-ual harassment issues with her stu-dents, faculty or staff.

Justin Lev in son, a UH law pro-fessor, was asked to attend one of Rose’s trainings when the deansuggested it was mandatory. Levin-son said training had been offered by the law school over the years but he wasn’t able to recall when it was last mandatory.

The DOE conducted 54 other investigations at other colleges and universities across the nation.

After multiple objects were thrown on the court during theUH-UC Davis men’s basketballgame Thursday, a fan connectedwith the incident has been arrested for criminal trespass warning, according to UH Athletics Director Ben Jay.

“First of all, we had one arrest last night where we identifi ed aperson in the crowd, and identi-fi ed that person to the police,” Jay said in a Honolulu Star-Advertiserreport.

Miniature sponge stress balls and an object which appeared to be Chapstick were thrown as Davis player Tyler Les was on the free-throw line during the fi nals seconds of the game.

A technical foul was called on UH after the objects were thrown. Jay said UH is attempting to identify two other fans caught on video throwing objects. The items were thrown from the student section, around 15-20 feet behind the backboard.

DFS last went to the World’s tournament in 2011.

NOELLE FUJIINEWS EDITOR

The campus Debate and Foren-sics Society (DFS) came home from winter break ranking in the top half of the world championship for debating universities.

The two pairs of student debat-ers and one student judge com-peted against more than 100 universities at the World Univer-sities Debating Championship (WUDC) in Malaysia, according to senior bioengineering major and DFS captain Samira Fatemi.

“I’m proud of our performance as a team,” DFS secretary Laura Ramirez said in an email interview. “We managed to go through a gru-eling competition without hating debate or hating each other. The debates were about a huge range of topics from Syria to ‘moral enhanc-ing drugs.’ The motions that we debate are only revealed 15 min-utes ahead of time, so going to a competition like this provided me with constant opportunities to learn and think about topics I might not have contemplated otherwise.”

One team, composed of Fatemi and DFS founder Daniel Hugo, ranked 147 out of 374 teams. The other team, DFS treasurer Justin Bongco and Ramirez, ranked 207.

THE TOURNAMENT: DEBATINGAccording to its website, the WUDC

took place from Dec. 27 to Jan. 4. Each year, different institutions

and countries that are selected by the World Universities Debating Council host the competition.

The competition featured nine, one hour-long rounds, accord-

ing to Fatemi. The debaters were given their topics, which included global warming and how to address climate change and edu-cation in areas of socioeconomic deprivation, approximately 15 minutes prior to the beginning of each round.

Each team would then be assigned to give an argument against or in support of the topic and would have 15 minutes to give its argument.

According to senior fi nance major Bongco, debaters must read mate-rials and articles on world affairs prior to arriving to the tournament

or it’s too late.“You’re not allowed any Internet

access,” Fatemi said. “So it’s basi-cally your brain and any printed material you wanted to bring. And from there you just talk about like what is the main issue here, what are the strongest arguments for or against this and you go from there.”

The competition was based on the British Parliamentary style of debating, according to its website.

“I think the biggest goal of that style of debate is to show that there’s more than just two sides to every story,” Fatemi said. “Instead of just your regular pro versus con, you have two teams of two debat-

ers for each side. So you would have four pro speakers and then four con speakers, but they don’t work together.”

She added that the teams are supposed to represent coalition governments.

“You’re a coalition, but you still want your arguments to be more persuasive than your other team on your side,” she said. “So it’s like you want to be consistent with each other but you also want to outrank each other too.”

What makes a good argument, according to Bongco, is nuance

and detail.“What they mean by nuance is

your arguments are well qualifi ed and use the correct modality,” he said. “And what that means is rather than saying this will hurt everybody, you would say, the more nuanced thing would say: This would hurt a certain people and a certain part of this city because of these reasons. And it’s basically providing very nuanced, very detailed versions of arguments, rather than having kind of broad, general versions.”

THE TOURNAMENT: JUDGINGDFS member Coel Oshiro, a junior

English major, attended the compe-

tition as the team’s judge and mod-erated other teams’ debates.

As a judge, he was required to be an informed observer – acting like a normal citizen who has a holis-tic understanding of current events and political issues but isn’t a spe-cialist in a particular fi eld.

“With the Worlds tournament, especially just in the realm of pub-lic debate you always want to reward the team that has the most consis-tent, logical and rhetorically convinc-ing argument and not necessarily the team that has the most charisma and other potentially negative things like gender bias,” he said.

This was his fi rst international competition, so he started it as a trainee judge.

This meant he sat on a judg-ing committee that had one chair judge — someone who is very expe-rienced about how debating works — and two wing judges but didn’t participate in the fi nal vote.

“So you’re really just watching the wings and the chairs and what are they doing, how are they taking notes, how are they ranking or orga-nizing their ratings of the arguments being posed,” he said. “So it’s just really just experiential learning.”

He was promoted after the fi rst couple of rounds once the judges said he was qualifi ed to serve as a wing judge.

At the competition, he was able to see teams from prestigious uni-versities with intensive debate pro-grams, such as those at Harvard University and Oxford.

“The fact is, and I think this is the most important thing to take away from not only world but from debate in general is that as a

debater or as any public speaker, you’re wooing immense power to infl uence a huge number of peo-ple, and so when you have that great responsibility placed on you, you have to make sure that every-thing about the way you speak, everything about the way you carry yourself infl uences people in a positive way that engenders reform and change and positive reform,” he said.

THE DEBATE AND FORENSICS SOCIETY AT UH MĀNOA

According to its website, DFS has been active since its founding in 2008 with a mission to “provide the university with a forum to develop students’ argumentative abilities through good-spirited competition and to engender active and sophis-ticated participation in educational, professional and civic dialogue.”

“It’s an excellent place to gen-erate these civilized, political dis-course about some of the most pressing issues that we’re dealing with,” Oshiro said.

The registered independent orga-nization currently has about 14 active members, Fatemi said, adding that there are no major or previous debating experience required to join.

DFS participates in about two tournaments a semester, one of which is held on campus. The group also tries to go to one additional one that may be off-island.

Next up for DFS is to attend the 2015 U.S. Universities Debating Championship that will be held in Anchorage, Alaska in April.

Debate team returns after international

competition

DREW DEBROSTAFF WRITER

While an eight-person advisory search committee begins its search for a new athletic director, UH’s stu-dent governments say they want the group to include a student per-spective.

Chancellor Robert Bley-Vroman formed the committee to search for the replacement of Univer-sity of Hawai‘ i Athletics Director Ben Jay. This search follows Jay’s recent announcement of his intent to resign at a press conference on Dec. 9.

The Associated Students of The University of Hawai‘i (ASUH) as well as the Graduate Students Organiza-tion (GSO) recently began petition-ing the chancellor’s offi ce to try to include student perspective on the committee, but have had no suc-cess thus far, according to ASUH Vice President Kelly Zakimi.

“Our president has asked the chancellor to add a student to the committee but did not receive a reply. The GSO has spoken to him about it as well, and, if that falls through, I’m not sure what will be done,” Zakimi said.

Since all athletes are students and should be represented as such by the new athletic director, that person will need to think like a student. If no students are on the deciding committee, this can-not happen, Zakimi said.

“It is our hope that the new direc-tor will be someone with adminis-trative fi nancial experience who is capable of working with transpar-ency and willing to promote stu-dent advocacy within UH athletics,” Zakimi said.

LOOKING FOR A NEW ATHLETIC DIRECTOR

Jay had been with the depart-ment for two years and has a base

salary of $239,000, according to a previous Ka Leo article.

Jay will step down, effective June 30, 2015, citing “personal reasons,” but will still play an active role in ensuring the stability of the pro-gram during the time between his resignation and the induction of the new appointee.

“We are looking for someone who can work across many fi elds and can motivate our student athletes to perform to the best of their abil-ities, on and off the fi eld,” Bley-Vro-man said.

ATHLETIC FUNDING: A NATIONWIDE STRUGGLE

Many NCAA football teams don’t make money for their schools since they don’t not selling enough tick-ets to games or having athletes that are benched, since games can be an average of 45 percent of a universi-ty’s revenue according to the NCAA’s revenue reports of 2004-2010, as

reported by Business Insider. According to the report, 51 foot-

ball programs across the coun-try failed to produce profi t in 2010, along with 98 programs that have done so across all sports.

According to UH Director of Media Production Dan Meisenzahl, the UH athletic department does not have the subsidy struggles that are facing many schools around the country.

In 2012, 23 of 228 athletics depart-ments at NCAA Division I public schools generated enough money on their own to cover their expenses, 16 of which also received subsidies. Of that 16, 10 of those athletics depart-ments received more subsidy money in 2012 than they did in 2011, as reported by USA Today.

“UH currently subsidizes its ath-letics less than any other team in the Pac West, and our athletes continue to maintain higher grades than the national average as well,” Meisenzahl said.

He argued that UH is also at the forefront of productively and effi -ciently keeping track of athletic department fi nances.

According to Meisenzahl, as col-lege sports begin to become less organized, independent regional conferences are beginning to become more prominent through-out the NCAA. He believes this is an option that could be pursued fol-lowing the appointment of a new athletic director, given UH’s dis-tance from most of the universities in its conference.

“It’s really amazing that we’re not further in debt due to our iso-lated location in the middle of the Pacifi c,” Meisenzahl said.

No exact deadline has been set for the fi lling of the athletic direc-tor position at this time, however, Bley-Vroman maintains the selec-tion should be complete no later than mid-year.

University of Hawai‘i students are feeling the pressure of tuition hikes and the state’s high cost of living — factors that could also be deterring prospective students — as stated in a policy paper.

Up to 15 percent of UH students surveyed last year said they were considering leaving college because of Hawai‘ i’s cost of living, according to Hawai‘i Educational Policy Center (HEPC) researcher Shannon Hillman.

HEPC also found in its survey that over 60 percent of respondents were reconsidering their graduation plans because of rising tuition, while 82 percent of respondents said they had to work in order to attend school.

UH Mānoa student Tiffany Bas-concillo said she pays for school through a combination of her receipt of Federal Pell Grants, job in retail sales and parents’ support.

Basconcillo said she understands how tuition increases could make it

hard to plan for the future, but for her, college is worth the cost.

“If you really want to know more about what you want to do, it’s worth it; you just have to fi nd a way to pay the tuition,” she said.

Fellow student Justin Pak said he isn’t in debt only because 80 per-cent of his tuition is paid by the government thanks to his service in the National Guard. His job cov-ers the other 20 percent.

“Although we can’t survey poten-tial students, this [study] might be an indicator of how many students don’t even consider our university because of the additional costs,” Hillman said in an email interview.

Jim Shon, director of HEPC, stated that America’s colleges suf-fered during the recession and as a result, public universities nation-wide saw tuition increase while funding decreased.

According to the policy paper, prospective students across the country are becoming more con-

scious of how much debt they accumulate when going to college.

HEPC has been studying student debt because of growing interest in UH tuition hikes, according to Hill-man. In addition to shedding light on how prospective students are thinking, she said the policy center updates university administrators on fi ndings and new papers.

When the policy paper was released, local media reports indi-cated that UH administrators were considering ways to put an end to the incremental tuition hikes that began in 2012 and were scheduled through 2017.

“We like to think that the policy brief and student survey results had some impact on decisions to cease the tuition hikes, but of course, we

can’t be sure,” Hillman said.The policy paper came as state

support for the university dwindled.While UH is affordable compared

to other schools, many students still end up with debt at graduation.

On average, 42 percent of 2012 UH Mānoa graduates were in debt,and the average debt per studentwas $21,405.

Pak said he knows “quite a few” people paying their own way through college and who had totake out loans.

If not for fi nancial assistance, Pak said he would be in debt, too.

According to Shon, UH Founda-tion could play a role in reducing student debt.

“Yes, [UH Foundation] could make a difference,” Shon said, “more of a difference than now.”

Students graduating in 2011 from schools like Princeton, Yale andHarvard had the least amount ofdebt, as stated in the report.

Shon said the issue isn’t whether UH can compete with student debt rates at Ivy League schools, but whether UH Foundation could make an impact if addressing students’debt is made a priority.

Indecent exposure, recurring moped thefts and trespassers.

These are a few of the incidents the recently renamed Department of Public Safety (DPS) failed to ade-quately resolve last semester. DPS should have increased manpower

or upgraded technology with the money it used to rebrand itself. The changes have not done enough to increase security around campus.

UNNECESSARY REBRANDINGLast fall, Campus Security

“rebranded” itself into DPS to refl ect the larger role it played at UH Mānoa, Ka Leo previously

reported. This change was pro-jected to cost more than $20,000, covering expenses such as new uniforms, badges, patches and “911” vehicle decals.

The changes did not cost the university additional money, according to Sarah Rice, Commu-nity Programs Manager for DPS. The money had been factored into the DPS budget, and, in cer-tain cases, the department needed new logo items anyway.

DPS’s rebranding was conve-nient and cost-effective. However, reported incidents like panhan-dling, harassment and burglaries persist, and it is uncertain whether the upgrades will help DPS carry out its expanded role.

RECURRING INCIDENTSThis past fall, the campus saw

several instances of recurring crime. Nine incidents of trespassing between Aug. 22 and Sept. 11 were recorded in Crime Beat. On Nov. 17, three graffi ti incidents were dis-covered within hours of each other. From Nov. 25 to Dec. 3, a one-week span, Ka Leo’s Crime Beat reported two burglaries and a moped theft. By Dec. 9, 12 moped-related thefts had been reported.

Given the chronic number of inci-dents reported, particularly the moped thefts, DPS has not effectively reduced crime or increased campus safety. However, whether DPS has reduced crime in relation to previ-

ous years will be unclear until the department releases its 2015 Annual Security and Fire Safety Report.

SLOW TO RESPONDDPS has seemed slow to catch

perpetrators.Caleb Hopkins, the 21-year-old

male who indecently exposed him-self at UH Mānoa on three occa-sions, was fi nally arrested on Nov.

28, after being at large since Nov. 3. DPS had sent out multiple alerts but had been unsuccessful for 25 days in apprehending Hopkins.

While Hopkins was not an active threat to student safety, the fact that DPS took almost an entire month to catch him is troubling. Had DPS used the money allocated for upgrades for an increase in man-power and technology, security cam-eras, for example, Hopkins may have been apprehended more quickly.

TRESPASSERSTrespasser prevention and pro-

tection is vital to maintaining the safety of a school. Since incidents like the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings, institutions have had to tighten security. DPS, while

responding appropriately to tres-passing incidents, should patrol the campus more frequently to reduce the risk of dangerous trespassers. Increasing manpower and materi-als may also help in this situation.

On Oct. 21, DPS encountered a man by Ba-Le who appeared drunk and belligerent. When sub-dued by DPS, he suffered a fore-head injury that sent him to the hospital. In this situation, DPS secured the safety of UH Mānoa students. Whether DPS acted according to protocol in that situ-ation is unclear, but by eliminating the threat, DPS preserved student safety. The Nov. 10 trespass viola-tion that resulted in an arrest was another instance in which DPS acted appropriately.

DPS has responded well to tres-passers by issuing warnings and having the police department make arrests when applicable. However, ideally, fewer such incidents should be reported. Admittedly, it is too early in the school year to measure against last year’s statistics, but there should be a clear decrease in crime if the DPS upgrades can be considered worthwhile.

WORTH IT?The DPS upgrades were fi nan-

cially an asset, as they did not cost the university additional money. However, it is unclear if the upgrades will help UH Mānoa become a safer campus.

DPS upgrades ambiguously beneficialIt’s uncertain It’s uncertain whether the whether the changes changes increase securityincrease security


DPS upgrades may not help reduce crime on campus.

By Dec. 9, 12 moped-related thefts had been reported.

Obama’s community college pro-posal is idealistic and impractical. The plan is too expensive for the U.S. to afford, and the expenses of free community college will tax America’s middle class. Instead, Obama’s plan should be restricted to those who demonstrate fi nancial need.

PLAN MAY HURT SOMESpeaker of the House John

Boehner said that the plan will make saving for college more diffi cult for the middle class, citing an article by Sarah Swinehart.

“Specifi cally, the President’s plan will roll back expanded tax cuts for 529 education savings plans that were enacted in 2001 for new contributions,” the White House said.

529 PLANS“There are two types of 529

plans: savings plans, which allow families to save for nearly all col-lege expenses, and prepaid tuition programs, which generally allow families to make advance tuition payments to cover future atten-dance at a designated in-state public college or university sys-tem,” the College Savings Founda-tion said. “529 plan accounts and distributions from them are fed-eral income tax-free when used for qualifi ed higher education expenses.”

According to College Savings Foundation media representa-tive Lynthia Romney, middle-class Americans, nearly three-quarters of whom earn between $50,000 and $150,000 per year, own the majority of 529 plans. Disallowing

tax breaks on 529 plans, Romney said, would slow the accumula-tion of savings, causing students to take longer to afford the cost of education.

“The President’s proposal would add fi nancial pressure to the stu-dent benefi ciaries as they would incur taxes on 529 plan earnings when they take a qualifi ed distri-bution for their higher education,” Romney said. “This would especially hurt those who are already working hard to earn money for their edu-cation in a summer job or during the school year, as this would increase their taxable income.”

BUDGET PROBLEMSThe U.S. cannot afford to fund

education for the nine million stu-dents the White House estimates could benefi t from the program.

The U.S. Treasury reported a bud-get defi cit of $483 billion for fi scal year 2014, having spent more than $3.5 trillion while receiving about $3 trillion.

In contrast, the Department of Education (DOE) received $68.6 bil-lion to improve all levels of educa-tion. Put into perspective, given the defi cit for fi scal year 2014, the U.S. technically cannot afford to fund the DOE’s programs. If Obama’s plan were implemented, the DOE should reallocate its funds to fi nance the program.

ADMITTED BENEFITSObama’s plan may potentially

increase enrollment in commu-nity colleges. Paying for two years of community college as opposed to four may reduce student debt, which, according to the Project

on Student Debt, amounted to more than $28,000 per person in 2013. By making college affordable for all at least half-time students with a minimum 2.5 GPA, Obama’s plan would help more Americans achieve a higher level of educa-tion. Americans would also have the opportunity to become better educated on a more uniform level.

NOT ENOUGHPutting America into greater debt

and taxing its middle class more heavily is not worth the potential payoff that could come from edu-cating more individuals. The plan will not fully fi nance a four-year college education. Having pro-spective college students fi nance the education of others through the 529 plans’ tax break cuts is an unreasonable decision.

Plan will fail to fix education problems

Community college proposal shortsighted

RYAN LEONARDOCONTRIBUTING WRITER

Shouting “God is great” while doing something may mean that God condones it. Because of the attacks on the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, individuals may have a poor image of God and Christianity.

It’s hard to say that all religions are the same. Just because Hindus don’t eat beef, it does not mean that Christians don’t eat beef; just because Muslims pray fi ve times a day, it does not mean that Bud-dhists pray fi ve times a day and just because Jews celebrate Hanukkah, does not mean that Sikhs celebrate Hanukkah. If we recognize this as true, why would we generalize that religion resorts to violence in the face of challenges simply because extremists from one religion do?

RELIGIOUS EXTREMISM, NOT RELIGION

“Every religion has its extremists,” University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa reli-gion professor Jay Sakashita said. According to Christian apologist Ravi Zacharias, the problem is not religion; the problem is violent extremism. One cannot say that all religions comprises extremism. As stated earlier, we shouldn’t stain all religion with what was done to Charlie Hebdo.

INVESTIGATING CHRISTIANITYI can’t speak for other religions,

so let us examine Christianity.“Love your enemies and pray for

those who persecute you,” Matthew 5:44 (New Living Translation) said.

Christians are called to bless others in the face of evil. Accord-ing to the Bible, Christianity is a far cry from the violent attacks carried out by Islamic extremists on Charlie Hebdo. In Christianity, we believe that Jesus Christ died to atone for the wrongdoings of even his ene-mies and that if anyone, regardless of their past, accepts his atoning sacrifi ce, they will enjoy eternity with him. A God who stepped down from heaven and took the blame for everyone else in order to save them – that’s the God Christians follow, according to the Bible.

Even when questioned directly about their faith, Christians are called to maintain a standard of gentleness and respect toward their fellow human beings.

“Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,” 1 Peter 3:15-16 (Interna-tional Standard Version) said.

IMPERFECT INTERPRETATIONSIn the past, terrible things were

done in the name of Jesus (many terrible things still go on today), but let’s not blame God for His imperfect followers. In the same way, let’s not blame all Muslims for Charlie Hebdo.

Examining religious

extremism

76WINGER / FLICKR

KIRSTIE CAMPBELLSTAFF WRITER

#KillAllMuslims. This hashtag trended worldwide on Twitter after the Jan. 7 Charlie Hebdo attack, when Islamic gunmen killed 12 members of the French satiri-cal publication because of offen-sive cartoons drawn of Islam and Muhammad. While the publica-tion had been fi rebombed in 2011, according to the New York Times,

the Jan. 7 attack was the fi rst in which people had been killed.

When considering the perspec-tives of Muslim students at the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa and worldwide, Islam should not be generalized under the extremism of the Charlie Hebdo attack.

CAMPUS PERSPECTIVEThe perspective of Muslim stu-

dents on campus must be consid-ered. Nazeehah Khan, president of the Islamic Society at UH Mānoa, discussed both the Charlie Hebdo shootings and the view of Islam.

“The Charlie Hebdo shootings were a heinous act of violence done by two

misguided individuals. ... While the shooters were proclaimed Muslim, their actions do not abide by Islamic teaching and are not accurate repre-sentations of Islam,” Khan said in an email interview. “It is necessary for us to condemn the violence done in the name of Islam while also reminding the public that these people do not refl ect Islam as a whole.”

Khan also pointed out the impor-tance of viewing Islam as a broader group than extremists.

“In constantly shining light on misled fundamental groups like Al-Qaeda and ISIS, we ignore the majority of Muslims who bow down on a prayer mat several times a day and ask, not for the destruction of nonbelievers, but for the safety of their children,” Khan said.

‘NOT IN MY NAME’After the Charlie Hebdo attack,

the hashtag “NotInMyName” hit Twitter, and individuals created a website condemning its attackers.

“As British Muslims we utterly con-demn ISIS who are abusing the name of Islam with their acts of terrorism,” Not In My Name’s website said.

AN IRAQI’S PERSPECTIVEAs Muslim Iraqi blogger “Riv-

erbend” said on the transition ofIraq’s secular family laws to a Sha-riah-based law system, “Any reli-gious government is bound to oppress some faction of society.”

ISIS is an example of religious extremism.

In 2005, Riverbend stated, “The problem arises when certain cler-ics decide to do their own inter-pretation of these [Islamic] laws.” If one cannot trust different religious leaders to impose political laws, then there must be serious thought, if not avoidance, of religious-based governments, or quite possibly, in religion in government itself.

Riverbend pointed out the perse-cution of fellow Muslims, including herself, as religious-based govern-ments controlled Iran and Iraq. In her 2004 article, she discussed religious governments, including Saudi Arabia.

“During the hard times, it was always a comfort that I could drive, learn, work for equal pay, dress the way I wanted and practice Islam according to my values and beliefs, without worrying whether I was too devout or not devout enough,” Riv-erbend said.

REEVALUATING VIEWSIt is clear that not all Muslims

are devoted to extremism. #KillAll-Muslims was offensive and did not solve the greater issue, that of indi-viduals stereotyping religions.

Islam should not be known by its extremist few

It is necessary for us to condemn the violence done in the name of Islam while also reminding the public that these people do not refl ect Islam as a whole.

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

[BOTH PHOTOS] KEITH ALLISON / FLICKR

The Patriots beat down the Colts 45-7, and a defl ated football doesn’t change the fact that the Colts’ defense could not bring down Patriots’ running back LeGarrette Blount, who ran for 148 yards and three touch-downs. Blount is just as dominant as Mar-shawn Lynch running the ball, but Blount

will have a much more diffi cult time run-ning the ball against the Seahawks than he did against the Colts. The Seahawks don’t have the biggest defensive line, but at the linebacker position Seattle does have two of the most hard-hitting players in the league in Bobby Wagner and K.J. Wright.

Blount will be instrumental for the Patriots if he is able to get going on the ground as that

will force the Seahawks defense to move up to the line of scrimmage to prevent the run

game, allowing quarterback Tom Brady to pick apart its man-to-man secondary. Even though Richard Sherman is one of the best cover cor-ners in the league, he will be responsible for marking either wide out Brandon LaFell or Julian Edelman; not Rob Gronkowski.

Gronkowski is a matchup nightmare: Stand-ing at 6-foot-6, weighing in at 265 lbs. while running a 4.6 forty-yard dash, it’s safe to say that he is a load trying to bring down in the open fi eld. In the regular season, Gronkowski totaled 1,124 receiving yards while catching 12 touchdowns; both are the highest totals for a tight end all season.

The real key to New England’s success is not Gronkowski, Blount or Tom Brady. The reason the Patriots are in the Super Bowl is because of their defense and ability to shut down an opposition’s

passing game. Against the Colts in the AFC Cham-pionship game, the Patriots conceded seven points through four quarters of play, allowing quarterback Andrew Luck to record just 126 yards passing with two interceptions and zero touch-downs. To put that into perspective, Luck aver-aged 297 passing yards per game and led the NFL with 40 passing touchdowns.

The Patriots’ defense isn’t just about the secondary, however, as they are able to stop the run game with defensive tackle Vince Wil-fork, who will be tasked with the nearly impos-sible task of bringing down Lynch.

The “#defl ategate” scandal in the AFC Cham-pionship game will linger over the Patriots heading into the Super Bowl, but in the end the game comes down to execution, which is something the Patriots are used to.

The defending champions are coming off an emotional overtime victory against the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Championship game. Despite scoring 28 points against the Packers, the Seahawks offense stuttered for the dura-tion of the game, especially passing the ball. For all the hype surrounding quarterback Rus-sell Wilson going to back-to-back Super Bowls — along with the talk about his upcoming con-tract extension — he threw four interceptions against the Packers, completing 48 percent of his passes.

Unfortunately for the Seahawks, the Patri-ots defense is outstanding against the passing attack, which was evident in their performance against the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC Championship game. The Seahawks receivers run isolation routes on the majority of plays,

but were stifl ed for 55 minutes by Green Bay’s man defense. This problem only worsens as the Patriots will use cornerbacks Darrelle Revis to shadow Doug Baldwin, eliminating Russell Wilson’s top target, and former Seahawk Bran-don Browner to shadow Jermaine Kearse. Once again, the Seahawks will have to rely on their defense and the ability to run the ball.

But running the ball is what they do best. Running back Marshawn Lynch ran for 157 yards while posting a remarkable 6.3 yards per carry average in the process. Wilson is also a dual threat quarterback, who led the NFL this past season in rushing yards by a quarter-back (849). Wilson’s mobility, along with Lynch and the running game, will determine Seat-tle’s chances of hoisting a second straight Lombardi Trophy. Because receivers will have

such trouble getting open, the passing attack will be based purely on improvised play which offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell should be inclined to pursue to keep the Patriots’ defense honest and predictable.

There isn’t much more to say about the Seahawks defense, also known as the “Legion of Boom.” The Patriots may have two outstanding defensive backs at their disposal, but the Seahawks have at least four game-changing players in their secondary on defense; not including its stout defensive front seven. Earl Thomas, Bobby Kam Chancellor, Richard Sherman and Byron Max-well will have the task of covering the Patriots wide receivers and tight end Rob Gronkowski, a task that is easier said than done.

KEEP IT SIMPLEThe best Super Bowl party has a sim-

ple set of dishes that Americans have come to love. Stick to chicken wings, sandwiches, pizza, chips and dip or any other classic comfort food.

BALANCE THE GUEST LISTAlthough the commercials are inter-

esting, it’s important to invite people that have a rooting interest in the big game. A few engaged football fans can help inform and engage other partygo-ers that may not have come for the tack-les and touchdowns.

STAY STOCKEDThe nonstop action of the Super

Bowl means that viewing parties are often victims of undersupply. Have your friends each bring something, or buy more than you think you need, to avoid running dry in the third quarter.

MAKE IT INTERESTINGA simple game or wager between

friends can add that sense of excite-ment to every play, regardless of whether your team is actually playing on Sunday.

872 The Patriots are facing a contro-versy for the second time under head coach Bill Belichick after the team was accused of defl ating foot-balls before the AFC Championship game against the Indianapolis Colts last weekend.

The three-time Super Bowl win-ner Belichick claims he had no explanation for the situation, but the NFL is still investigating the allegations. With the rainy weather during the game against the Colts, a defl ated football could have

made the ball easier to throw.Adam Schefter reported that the equipment manager for the Coltswas concerned about the underin-fl ated footballs when Mike Adams intercepted Tom Brady earlier inthe season.

Belichick said he’s cooperatingwith the investigation at a press conference, and it is unknown whether the NFL will release its fi ndings before the Super Bowl on Feb. 1.

JEREMY NITTAASSOCIATE WEB EDITOR

There may as well have been a lid locked onto the basketball rims of the Stan Sheriff Center for the past two months. At least, that’s how it seemed to senior forward Ashleigh Karaitiana of the Rainbow Wahine.

Karaitiana, widely viewed as one of the more reliable shooters on the Rainbow Wahine basket-ball team, took 86 shots during the months of December and January, and connected on just 25, a paltry 29.1 percent from the fi eld. She also hit 21.6 percent of her shots from three-point range, making eight of 37 attempts.

Head coach Laura Beeman stuck with her forward despite Karaitia-na’s obvious struggles, refusing to believe that Karaitiana was slump-ing and hurting the team.

“I really don’t believe in slumps,” Beeman said. “I think usually there’s something technically wrong with their shot, and then they get into their own heads. I believe a slump is just an excuse for if you aren’t ready physically or mentally. We need Ashleigh’s shot. It changes the entire complexity of our offense and how people have to guard us.”

Finally, on Jan. 17 against UC Riv-erside, Karaitiana rewarded her coach’s confi dence. Karaitiana scored a season-high 15 points, but did so shooting 55.6 percent from the fi eld (5-for-9) while making 50 percent of her three-pointers.

BREAKING THE SLUMPSo how was Karaitiana able to

fi nally free herself from the shoot-ing woes that had been plaguing her for so long?

“Coach had been giving me a lot of points of emphasis that I needed to work on,” Karaitiana said. “Mostly, it was slowing down, like my pace in the game. Coach knows that I can run faster and longer than a lot of girls on the team, but it’s not help-ing executing the play. By slowing down, I was able to see the fl oor more and understand the right pass to make and when the right time for me to take a shot is.”

More important was Karaitiana’s self-confi dence, an asset she has worked hard to develop over her career as a Rainbow Wahine.

“Early in my career, it’d come and go,” Karaitiana said. “I’d miss a shot and my whole mood would drop and I’d lose my confi dence right away. But now being a senior, and one of the potential leaders of the team, I have to keep shooting the ball, whether it goes in or not. I know that I just need to see the ball go through the basket, and my confi dence will go up from there.”

Karaitiana admitted that her confi dence did wane at times during her slump, but credited her coaches and teammates for helping her fi ght through it.

“I do lack confi dence some-times to a point, but I know that the coaches are going to have my back, and they’re going to want me to shoot,” Karaitiana said. “It’s the same with the other girls. They know that I am capable of making those shots, and they want me to keep shooting it.”

KEEP FIGHTINGDespite her obvious struggles,

Karaitiana refused to let herself be a liability to her team. While her shooting numbers continued to fall, she remained a valuable asset by developing into the team’s most reliable defender.

Last season, Karaitiana struggled at times to be reliable, as foul trou-ble often plagued her. She led the team in personal fouls by a wide margin, with 21 more than the next teammate.

This season, Karaitiana again has been whistled for the most fouls, but not nearly as frequent as last season. She also has stepped up and taken on the responsibil-ity of defending the opponent’s top scorer.

“The previous two years, we had a player like that in Sydney Haydel, who could go out and defend the opponent’s best player night-in and night-out,” Beeman said. “This season, Ashleigh seems to be that player for us. She’s been able to stay out of foul trouble, and moving her feet well. We have a lot of depth defensively, but right now, Ashleigh is getting the job done for us, and it’s a great thing to lean back on.”

This was on full display in Karai-tiana’s breakout game against Riv-erside. In addition to fi nally scoring consistently, Karaitiana spent the majority of her time on the fl oor defending Riverside’s Brittany

Crain. Crain ranks fi fth in the coun-try, scoring with 23.6 points per game, but Karaitiana held her to 18, a number made more impres-sive when one realizes that Crain took 20 shots, making only fi ve.

After the game, Riverside’s head coach John Margaritis acknowl-edged that Karaitiana’s defense had played a major role in not allowing Crain to settle into a rhythm.

“We had a lot of things go wrong, but right in the middle of it was Hawai‘ i’s defense,” Margaritis said. “That defense was a big part in why they earned that victory.”

“It’s tiring, but it’s a sacrifi ce I’m willing to make for the team,” Karai-tiana said. “There are a lot of great guards in this league, and I truly believe that each team has a guard that can take over and be the main scorer for their team. It’s about being locked-in. You can’t be lack-ing any confi dence, because you have to believe that you’re better, and that you can shut them down.”

LOOKING AHEADKaraitiana, as well as the rest

of the Rainbow Wahine, hope that her exploits against Riverside will help propel her to success the rest of the season. Her coach believes that her struggles have helped her to grow, which in the long run will only help the team.

“I think there’s a natural matura-tion process as a player goes through their career,” Beeman said. “Ashleigh is truly a junior, but we aren’t going to get that last year unfortunately. I think that because of that, we’ve had to grow her quickly, and I’m pleased with how she’s grown. I think there’s still room for more growth, and if she can continue that maturation through the rest of the season and into postseason, that would be great.”

And while it seems like Karaiti-ana has fi nally turned the page on a diffi cult season, that leadership that the team needs from her has begun to shine through.

“I think that by playing well, I can

show others what they need to do, and what they can do,” Karaitianasaid. “Also, I think it can encourageothers to try and step up when they are given minutes to play, and keep on playing hard.”

MEN’S BASKETBALLThe Warrior basketball team

defeated the Aggies of UC Davis this past Thursday night due in part to stellar team defense that forced 24 turnovers en route to an 84-76 victory. The ‘Bows were led by freshman guard Isaac Fleming on the defensive side of the ball, leading the team with six steals. Hawai‘ i sophomore Aaron Valdes fi nished with 21 points to lead all players and the ‘Bows had three players in double fi gures on the day.

The ‘Bows weren’t as success-ful against the Anteaters of UC Irvine, however, as the Warriors were dominated defensively, shoot-ing 33 percent from the fi eld in a 78-72 loss. The poor shooting per-formance by Hawai‘i now leaves the team with three conference losses on the season, compared to two victories.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALLThe University of Hawai‘ i Rainbow Wahine

basketball team erased a halftime defi cit against the Aggies of UC Davis this past Thurs-day night to win by a score of 58-53. The Aggies shot 41 percent from the fi eld, a much better shooting percentage than Hawai‘ i’s 32 percent, but UC Davis surrendered 18 turnovers on the game which led to their downfall.

The Wahine continued their success on the road against UC Irvine Saturday night, defeat-ing the Anteaters 85-50 in a landslide victory. The ‘Bows dominated in every facet of the game, out rebounding the Anteaters by 21 boards. UH has now won three consecutive games, improv-ing their conference record to 3-2.

MEN’S VOLLEYBALLFor the second time this season, Warrior

middle blocker Taylor Averill was named the men’s volleyball’s Mountain Pacifi c Sports Federation/Molten Player of the Week. Averill has been playing well to kick off the ‘Bows season, playing a crucial part in UH’s back-to-back victories over UC Santa Bar-bara on Jan. 16 and 18. Over the two games, Averill had a .513 middle attack, 10 blocks, four digs and one service ace.

MEN’S TENNISThe Warrior tennis team was able to edge

out Pacifi c 4-3 this past Saturday to bring the dual match series to equal terms, 1-1. The ‘Bows were led by Nils Schulmaan who defeated Miguel Diaz (6-3, 3-6, 6-3) in sin-gles play to give Hawai’i the victory.

ANGUSINA CAMPBELLOPINIONS EDITOR

Celebrating themes ranging from the darker side of life to escapism, this semester’s Winter Footholds showcases the original work of undergraduate and graduate chore-ographers and dancers at the Uni-versity of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa.

“Every semester, both undergrad-uate and graduate students get an opportunity to challenge them-selves and exemplify their ability to choreograph or perform dance,” senior dance major Tomomi Jane Hara said. “Students who decide to audition for the Footholds concert undergo intensive training by them-selves. Footholds is a representa-tion of the dancers’ passion in our departments.”

Footholds are semiannual dance concerts occurring in the fall and the spring, Master of Fine Arts can-didate Mareva Minerbi said. There will be nine dances in “Echo.” Fea-tured will be Roxy Takaesu’s senior project, “The Journey.”

“It’s a great opportunity for stu-dents to present their work in a fully produced concert stage atmo-sphere production,” assistant dance professor Kara Miller said.

“[Winter Footholds is] an oppor-tunity to see new and interesting work,” Minerbi said. “Art inspires, and dance has a kinesthetic com-

municative capacity that goes beyond words.”

Hara described the concert as friendly, casual and suitable for UH Mānoa students and the community.

“It’s at Lab Theatre, so the audi-ence can have a more intimate interaction with the dancers,” Hara said. “We really enjoy performing for this audience; it’s a very friendly atmosphere.”

Minerbi also discussed the appeal for fellow dancers.

“It’s always exciting to see what your peers are creating,” she said. “There is an assortment of chore-ography which makes it interesting.”

DANCER/CHOREOGRAPHER: TOMOMI JANE HARA

A dancer for four years, this is Hara’s third Footholds concert. Her six-minute piece, inspired by Butoh (traditional Japanese dancing) is called “Darkness in the Light.”

“It seems pretty dark and heavy, but dances do not have to be always about beauty and elegance, like our life is not always about being happy

and peaceful,” Hara said.Hara’s life exemplifi es her

statement. An international stu-dent who moved to Hawai‘ i from Japan, Hara suffered loneliness and depression because of her inability to communicate with oth-ers. However, she found solace in dancing and decided to pursue it as a career.

“The dance studio was the only place I could release myself,” Hara said. “I gained back my confi dence through being passionate to dance and seeing other dancers who [I] can work hard with.”

Hara feels a connection to this

concert’s theme, “Echo,” saying that it conveys the solidarity of UH Mānoa dancers.

“Regardless of one’s gender, age, year, genre of dance, back-ground and skills, we stimulate each other and fi nd ways we can absorb positive energy from the others,” Hara said. “This ‘Echo’ reaction helps students continue to grow year to year.”

DANCER/CHOREOGRAPHER ROXY TAKAESU

Roxy Takaesu is a senior BFA dance major. Her piece, “The Jour-ney,” is a three-section piece involving her dance experiences at UH Mānoa.

“The fi rst section depicts what I thought dance in college would be like, very competitive and ‘cut-throat.’ The second section depicts myself trying to fi nd my “dance identity” because I came from so many different kinds of dance styles through the years. The third and fi nal section depicts my cur-rent view of myself and the dance department,” Takaesu said. “I have found my own voice in dance, meaning that I am not defi ned by one specifi c style but instead my own personal style of movement.”

“Echo” is not Takaesu’s fi rst Foot-holds concert. She has participated in every Footholds concert during her time at UH Mānoa.

“My sophomore and junior spring semesters stood out to me the most. For the senior pieces of past BFA students Chelsea Van Billard and Rashida Vennie, I shared the stage not only with my very close friends, but some of the most tal-ented people I know,” Takaesu said. “I could also see growth in myself as a dancer during that time, and those two shows are defi nitely ones that I will never forget.”

Takaesu began to dance at age four and started creating dances as a high school sophomore. She explained her motivations behind her pursuit of dance.

“I started dancing Hula whenI was younger because my older cousins danced. I tried ballet also when I was that young, but I didn’toriginally like it,” Takaesu said.“I later went to a performing artssummer school camp at Kame-hameha Schools when I was in upper elementary and I got hooked into dancing other styles. Return-ing to dance there made me real-ize how much I actually enjoyed it.”

‘TRIVIA CRACK’ IKAIKA SHIVELEY

ASSOCIATE FEATURES EDITOR

While school teaches us many things in life, some believe a majority of topics taught are irrel-evant to the average life. However, these “pointless” subjects come in handy in “Trivia Crack.”

Like most trivia games, “Trivia Crack” will test your knowledge in various categories including: his-tory, sports, science, art, enter-tainment and geography. Instead of trying to reach a high score, the objective is to beat your opponent by collecting six “char-acters,” each representing one of the six categories.

Characters can be earned by cor-rectly answering a “crown ques-tion.” A crown question can be reached by either getting three cor-rect answers or by landing on the crown on the trivia wheel. Ques-tions vary in diffi culty, which may make or break a streak. Don’t worry though, power-ups are available that can elongate answer time, remove wrong answers or skip the question entirely.

The only negative aspect of the app, is the dependence on lives. “Trivia Crack” constrains the player with three lives, making the player wait an hour for a life to replenish or take part in the “freemium” gaming.

With the ability to link Facebook accounts to the app, social media friends soon turn into trivia ene-mies. This competitive component of “Trivia Crack” is one of the main reasons why the game is so addict-ing – it’s clear why “Crack” is in the title of the game.

Overall, “Trivia Crack” is an enter-taining game that pits friend against friend, sibling against sibling or in Ka Leo’s case, editor against editor.

SAMMI BAUMGARTNERSENIOR STAFF WRITER

One step onto the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa campus is all it takes for anyone to experience a plethora of cultures and people. On a small campus, these cultures melt into one another. It sometimes seems as though we are interact-ing with the same people, the most common being:

THE CALIFORNIANRecognizable by the hordes

of other Californians surround-ing them, it is almost impossible to catch one alone. Northern Cal-ifornians seem to represent their side of the state better than their Southern counterparts; you will know when somebody is from The Bay. These beautiful people — not

a single unattractive person is from California — are always gab-bing about Mexican food trucks, the bay area team and surfi ng. They can most commonly be seen wear-ing Vans, Billabong or RVCA with a pearly white smile.

THE LOCALThese tanned people are usu-

ally surrounded by a group of their friends, but separated by the different islands they hail from. You can hear a local long before you see one by the loud Pidgin being spoken. A local is the easiest to make friends with because of the down-to-earth per-sonalities developed on the islands – just don’t get on their bad side, because local fi ghts are the scariest. Most of the time, locals have tribal tattoos, and are clad in slippahs with as little clothing as possible.

THE ATHLETEThe reason there is a shortage

of Warrior apparel in the book-store is because the athletes buy out the merchandise. That being said, an athlete is easy to spot because of their Warrior pride out-fi ts paired with white crew socks and Nikes. While easy to spot, it is rare to fi nd an athlete because of their busy travel schedules. Most of the time, an athlete is working towards a degree in kinesiology, sociology or family resources.

INHABITANTS OF CAMPUS CENTER’S 3RD FLOOR

Without fail, the same group of people can be found every day in the same spot, speaking way too loudly and battling one another in “World of Warcraft.” It is easy to spot a 3rd fl oor inhabitant by their

quick gait and oversized backpack (probably containing an Alienware laptop). They are most commonly seen in a graphic shirt with their favorite manga, anime or cartoon character.

THE FRESHMAN Until the spring semester, these

confused individuals wander cam-pus aimlessly and without a clue. They are usually in the Queen Lili‘uokalani Center asking for directions or meeting with their advisor. Because a lot of freshman come from out of state and are not familiar with anyone on the island, they are eager to speak to you about anything and everything. Freshman are the best-dressed on campus because they have not learned about the humidity yet.

TORI TOKUNAGASTAFF WRITER

Most breakfast joints tend to stick to what they know, whether it is a diner, bakery or café. What sets Tucker & Bevvy apart from the rest is its ability to serve people of all taste buds and preferences with fl air.

If you are in the mood for a light breakfast, always consider Tucker & Bevvy. If you are in the mood for a heavy brunch, also consider Tucker & Bevvy.

This establishment is located in the Hee Hing Plaza, across from the Ala Wai golf course, and is a spin-off from the picnic restaurant of the same name in Waikiki. There is a small parking structure located underneath the complex, but they charge a fee. Your best bet would be fi nding street parking across from the building, even though parking and crossing there can be scary.

My dining partner and I arrived at the restaurant at 11:30 a.m. The host informed us of a 15 minute wait with three parties ahead of us, though we were seated within 10 minutes. Our waitress later rec-ommended dining when they open at 6:30 a.m. or before they close at 1:30 p.m. to beat the rush. The

space is not as big as most all-day restaurants but is bigger than most breakfast places in the area. The dining area does not feel cramped because of the fl oor-to-ceiling win-dows, rustic wooden furniture and white walls. Even though the place was packed, the volume wasn’t too loud because of the open kitchen and wide table layout. The waiters were very friendly, and it felt like a family-run business that really

cared about our eating experience and service.

The waitress suggested a num-ber of menu options. For the lighter breakfast eater, there are 16 side dish options to choose from, with an average price of $3 to $4 each. These include a granola bowl, two eggs and a kale and quinoa salad.

My dining partner ordered from the sweeter side of the menu, which is a great option for those who like dessert for breakfast. I have heard people rave over their Tim Tam waf-

fl e, which is named after the Austra-lian candy biscuit that is the base for this dish. It comes with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, two Tim Tam waffl e candies garnished on top and chocolate crumbs all over. On the side, we ordered plain ricotta pancakes to share.

The ricotta pancakes arrived at the table fi rst. When I bit into them, I got that light yet mushy texture the ricotta cheese adds. The pancakes

had enough fl avor and were not dry to the point where you needed to add any syrup. I would order this side again for $3 but not buy a whole stack because I could see myself getting sick of it if it were the only dish I ordered.

The Tim Tam waffl e looked like a normal waffl e on a sugar high. The waffl e was crunchy and extra sweet but fl uffy on the inside. There were crushed-up Australian Tim Tam can-dies dusted on top of the scoop of vanilla ice cream, which added a smooth fi nish to the crunchiness

of the waffl e. Regular waffl e syrup is served on the side for those who want even more sugar. Make sure to eat these fi rst if you are sharing with a friend because the ice cream melts fast and will make the crispy outside soggy. Overall, the waffl e is what you expect a waffl e to be, but with a lot of chocolate and ice cream. Personally, I do not think it lived up to the hype or price of $9.50 because one can easily make the same mess at home.

For those who prefer a heavy breakfast, the waitress suggested any of their egg dishes. I decided on the roast hash – prime rib roast with mushrooms, red roasted fi nger-ling potatoes, red onions and two over easy eggs. It was the best thing on the table. It sounds like a heavy plate, but it’s not enough to make you feel stuffed after eating it. There was plenty of meat for the price of $14.50. I liked that the meat was cubed because that made it easier to eat when mixed in with potatoes and eggs. The potatoes were sea-soned and the meat was of “bite-and-melt” standard. The only tweak I would recommend is to ask for the eggs a little runny. This would add a nice texture to the dish.

There are many breakfast and brunch places in this area that

many people don’t go to because of the long lines and waits. Tucker & Bevvy is not only a great alter-native for skipping those lines, but is also better tasting and cheaper than similar establishments.

Tucker & Bevvy takes the (pan)cake with excellent service, short and realistic wait times and abil-ity to serve heavy breakfasts, light alternatives and even caters to the sweet tooth.

Adventure Club members Leigh-ton James and Christian Srigley rocked the house at The Republik last Saturday night. Some of their songs are known to be a slower melody, but they did not disap-point Saturday night. The DJs did not miss a beat and played only the best. While performing one of their most popular songs from the album, "Gold," Srigley took a leap into the crowd. causing a thrilling roar amongst the fans. They performed almost every song from the album “Super-heroes Anonymous Vol. 1” and

even did a couple of new songs. After leaving the stage, a cheer for an encore brought the group back up for two more songs. See-ing as this was their second time in Hawai‘ i in the past couple of months, you are probably feeling a little disappointed about miss-ing the event.

ADVENTURE AWAITS

PRE-GAMING LIKE A PROS O U N D C LO U D P L AY L I ST: T INYURL .COM/P3YLBMJ

Pre-gaming rookies may make the mistake of drinking too much too fast. When it comes to con-certs, venues are able to charge horrendous prices for quantities of alcohol that would get an ant only slightly tipsy. To avoid wasting money on alcohol at these events, learn to pre-game like a pro.

PRE-GAME THE PRE-GAME WITH FOOD

An empty stomach is the easi-est way to get too drunk too quickly and not make it to the show.

GATHER NECESSITIES BEFOREHAND

Show tickets and ID; cash should be fi rst set aside. (Tip: put need items near the car keys as a reminder.)

PACE YOURSELF Start early and keep a consistent pace rather than trying to shotgun four beers on the way out the door. This gives the body time to metab-olize the large quantities of alcohol.

GET READY BEFORE BEGINNING FESTIVITIES

Three drinks in is not the time to realize that achieving the perfect winged eyeliner is diffi cult enough while sober, let alone after ingest-ing multiple shots of Patron.

DRINK WATER Once inside, surrounded by sweaty strangers, it will become evident that alcohol dehydrates the body. Compensate by using Gatorade as a mixer and alternating glasses of water with each drink.

KNOW THE PERFORMER Have an idea of who the perform-ers are and what kind of music they play. Being the one yelling, “I love this girl!” at an Adventure Club set is awkward for everyone involved (because the EDM duo consists of two men). Use the pre-game time to listen to the artist’s most recent releases to avoid looking clueless.

And as always, have a designated driver.
