UH gets $4.6M for educational networking and research

The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded the University of Hawai‘ i a multi-million-dollar grant to support the international research and education network connections in the Pacifi c.

The $4.6 million grant will support two links from Australia and New Zealand to Hawai‘ i and the U.S. Mainland. Both links connect in the Pacifi c Wave network exchange and will provide connectivity to research and education networks across the U.S. and Asia.

“UH has a long and rich history as a leader in academic networking and Internet development in the region,” said David Lassner, UH President and principal investigator for the grant.

The links will be able to transmit 40 Gigabits of information per sec-ond and are provisioned over submarine fi ber optic capacity provided by the Southern Cross Cable Network (SCCN) to Australia’s Academic and Research Network.

As part of the fi ve-year project, these links will be upgraded to 100 Gigabits per second each in 2016.

Australia and U.S. collaborations that will be supported through this project include astronomy, oceanography, high energy physics, coral reef research and more, according to a release.

“The fi rst international Internet connection to Australia was imple-mented over 25 years ago as a partnership between AARNet and UH, and we remain uniquely positioned to lead this effort as the premier research institution in the Pacifi c,” Lassner said.

Chow announces four captains for 2015 season

Rainbow Warrior football head coach Norm Chow announced his selec-tion Tuesday of four captains for the 2015 season.

Chow selected seniors offensive lineman Ben Clarke, defensive back Ne’Quan Phillips, linebacker Lance Williams and quarterback Max Wittek.

“We have four seniors and what’s even more interesting is they come from four different parts of the country,” Chow said. “That’s what makes it even more important, because this group will become a team once we get the leadership in place.”

Chow said the captains were voted by their peers.“It’s a very important honor, and I expect them to provide some real

leadership,” Chow said. “In order for us to become a good football team, it will depend on that leadership.”

From Littleton, Colorado, Clarke started 13 games last season at left tackle and was named the team’s Offensive Player of the Year for the second time in his career. He also garnered all-Mountain West honor-able mention recognition for the third consecutive year, was on the Lom-bardi Award Watch List throughout the season and was chosen third team all-MW by media outlets Phil Steele and College Sports Madness.

A Miami native, Phillips is another three-year player and has started 28 games, appearing in 37 in the defensive secondary. Last season, Phil-lips recorded a team fourth-best 54 tackles (47 solo, 7 assisted), includ-ing six for loss and three sacks, forcing one fumble and scooping another. He also collected six pass breakups and one interception. He was previ-ously selected for all-Mountain West honorable mention during his soph-omore campaign.

Representing O‘ahu on the list of captains is Williams, a Farrington High School graduate, who has made eight starts at linebacker, but has been a fi xture over his career at UH, playing in 35 games. Last season, he registered 25 tackles (11 solo, 14 assisted), including one for loss. He also collected a fumble recovery, one hurry and blocked two kicks for the Rainbow Warriors.

Wittek, a Norwalk native, came to UH from the University of Southern California. At USC, he played in 13 games between the 2013 and 2013 sea-sons, starting two games, combining for 600 yards passing on 50-for-95 (52.6 percent) completions, accounting for four touchdowns.

After an earthquake with a 7.8 magnitude (Mw) on the Rich-ter scale struck near Nepal’s cap-ital, Kathmandu on April 25, relief efforts are underway.

The Society of Nepalese in Hawai‘ i (SNEHA) has been taking donations on its website and sold “I Love Nepal” t-shirts at the booth it set up at Campus Center on April 29 and 30 and held a candlelight vigil at Kennedy Theatre on April 30. SNEHA will also held a fund-raiser dinner May 3 at the Hima-layan Kitchen in Kaimuki.

“This is, obviously, a big trag-edy. It is something that will unfold slowly, though, there will be more and more people that will be found in the rubble. But, even beyond that, once the work of rehabilitation begins there are going to be huge needs … anything that anyone can do will help,” for-mer U.S. Ambassador to Nepal James Moriarty said.

GIVING HELPMoriarty has been in contact with

people currently suffering the real-ity of earthquake aftermath, such as a Peace Corp member from Hawai‘ i and friends from his time in Nepal. People affected by the earthquake and most others are sleeping outside, exposed to the elements and are in need of aid.

Aid to Nepal has been reaching the country in many different ways. The United Nations is releasing $15 million from its central emergency response fund to allow interna-tional humanitarian groups to scale

up operations and provide aid to Nepal, according to MSN.

India, the U.S., China, Malaysia, Pakistan and Israel all sent planes to Nepal. The planes brought aid and rescue personnel to the Kath-mandu airport.

According to Moriarty, programs like CARE and World Vision, which already have a base in Nepal, are the ideal organizations to donate to aid efforts.

“My recommendation, strongly, is that people funnel money directly into those groups. They have peo-ple on the ground and they have best shot at getting aid to the most needy places most effectively,” Moriarty said.

THE EARTHQUAKESusan Hough, a geologist with

the U.S. Geological Survey, told the Washington Post that the earthquake that hit Nepal did not come as a surprise. Nepal is sit-uated where the Indo-Australian tectonic plate pushes beneath the Eurasian plate.

The pressure caused by the movement of the Indo-Australian and Eurasian plates causes the earthquakes that occur in this area. The earthquakes happen at such a regular interval that geologists and seismologists had been expect-ing something of this magnitude. The most recent earthquake of this scale, clocking in at 8.2 Mw, hap-pened 81 years ago, in 1934.

As of May 1 the death toll, accord-ing to Reuters, is 6,250, with the num-ber of injured at more than 14,350.

Kathmandu has been deci-mated, houses across the country have been destroyed and certain roads made unusable. According

to MSN, rural areas were spared from a majority of the devasta-tion due to lack of city-like devel-opment. In cities, people were dragged from inside buildings with broken legs and arms.

PREPARING FOR DESTRUCTIONAllen Clark, a current East West

Center (EWC) senior fellow, has worked with the government of Nepal for the past seven years creat-ing plans for disaster management.

According to Clark, Nepal has only recently begun creating a com-prehensive disaster management program, which covers everything from laws and policies that dictate response and action in a disaster sit-uation to the creation of institutions that respond in event of a crisis.

“When you look at where Nepalwas, they were developing the capacity, but it was not operational … I think they did a pretty good job given the circumstances,” Clark said.

One issue that seems to be more problematic than was expected is the airport. The major airport for the entire country is the Kathmandu Airport, according to Clark. Because of this, anything coming in or out of the country, be it people or supplies, is backed up. The back up is causing problems with aid efforts.

“Keep in mind that this a very small and a desperately poor country. Its overall capacity, be it institutional, monetary, people or whatever, is not capable of han-dling this … the military is not verylarge and its not well equipped, this is usually who provides as muchassistance as possible. They are fi ghting a really diffi cult battle at the present time,” Clark said.

A pair of students who won the Daniel K. Inouye (DKI) Center site planning contest aimed to refl ect the aloha the late Sen. Daniel Inouye demonstrated throughout his life.

“Our main concept was the concept of aloha. Partly because [Inouye] was from Hawai‘ i and he brought aloha to Washington and to the world … We thought that aloha was a great topic for our project and for the space that we wanted to create,” said Caterine Picardo Diaz, a member of the win-ning team.

Diaz and team member Steph-anie Nagai won fi rst place in the DKI Student Project Award Con-test, which was composed of six student teams, all of which were enrolled in a Department of Urban and Regional Planning course.

INCORPORATING THE LATE SENATOR’S SPIRIT

According the College of Social Sciences (CSS) website, the DKI Center, upon its completion, will honor and build upon the work and legacy of Daniel Inouye. The late senator was Hawai‘ i’s longest serv-ing public servant in the capitol. The goal of the center is to show his spirit of leadership and values of freedom, fairness and integrity.

Both winning teams endeavored to incorporate his spirit and values in their work. The two teams pre-sented their conceptual site plans at the award ceremony on April 27. The presentations included site analysis data such as topography, vegetation and pedestrian traffi c, landscape possibilities as well as each team’s inspirations and hopes for the center.

The current plan is for the center to replace the current Henke Hall, located by Hamilton Library and Moore Hall. The groups made use of the space around the building, including the walk way to McCar-

thy Mall, the lawn in front of Ham-ilton and the lawn next to Kennedy Theatre.

Diaz and Nagai’s site plan layout included open spaces, such as ter-races, amphitheaters, bicycle paths and dryland taro gardens. Accord-ing to Nagai, she and Diaz tried to create a space for people to gather in the spirit of aloha.

Clarice Schafer and Dayna Vierra, who took second place, chose to focus on the two aspects of Sen. Inouye they thought most import-

ant: his integrity and ability to bring people together. According to Schafer, the design-with-nature approach they elected for, that also worked with the current building’s natural ventilation and solar panel confi guration, facilitated in bringing people to together.

By analyzing existing congrega-tion zones and landscapes, Scha-fer and Vierra created a plan for an outdoor study lanai with handicap access, rain and banyan gardens, as well as a restaurant that utilized sustainability practices, such as composting and recycling.

“Like Daniel K. Inouye went about with his life, [we should be] conducting our lives with a man-ner of integrity and bringing peo-ple together ... We hope that can be embodied in the Daniel K. Inouye Center,” Schafer said.

A CONTEST TO SHAPE A COMMUNITY

At its inception, the contest con-sisted of six teams of students enrolled in PLAN 678, an Urban and Regional Planning (URP) graduate course taught by Professor Priyam

Das. URP is a systematic, creative way to shape neighborhoods, cities and other rural or urban areas by use of information involving land use, eco-nomic development, transportation, housing and community design.

“[My students] did way beyond the three credits that this course is. Their work defi nitely shows that. I think we all came away really happy with the results,” Das said.

According to Das, every summer and fall she works to fi nd a com-munity project that her students will be able to work on for thespring semester.

For this project, students spent a little over six weeks conducting research and developing a creative design that refl ected the character of the late Sen. Inouye and servedthe function of the Center.

After this fi rst stage of the proj-ect, the groups presented theirworks to Ken Inouye, son of the late Sen. Inouye and other profes-sionals, from whom they receivedfeedback.

All teams submitted their con-ceptual site plans to a panel of judges that determined the twowinning teams and awarded them cash prizes from the DKI Institute and the Department of Urban andRegional Planning.

Community members and UH faculty involved in the project com-mented and gave praise to the two groups at the ceremony. Ken Inouye expressed his appreciation and admiration for the project via video chat from Washington, D.C.

“You folks did a really amaz-ing job ... The thing that hit mewhen I was looking over the workthat you all put together was how well thought out it was. Everything either anticipated a problem and came up with a way to remedy it or saw a problem and came up with a way to remedy it,” Ken Inouye said.

Due to various problems, the Uni-versity of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa Campus Center Board (CCB) decided to post-pone the Aloha Bash.

Alycia Kiyabu, president of CCB, said that while she wouldn’t call the postponment “indefi nite,” it would not be happening until next year.

While CCB at UH Mānoa is in charge of programing and planning the Aloha Bash, Student Events and Campus Life Services Director Sarah Yap said this year the board was unable to plan the event for reasons including lack of funding, security, venue and overall resources available.

FAILURE TO LAUNCHYap said the Aloha Bash began

in 2004 and has “pretty much been happening annually since then.”

According to the CCB schedule for the Spring 2015 term, Aloha Bash wasn’t scheduled on the list of events. Yap stated that during each term, plans continuously change for the CC Board.

Yap said CCB is still planning their budget and schedule for next year, but they do plan on hosting the Aloha Bash then.

According to CCB Feb. 9 meet-ing mintues, the board was wait-ing to set a date for the event. In the board’s March 9 minutes, a new date of May 8 was set but had to be

confi rmed. This date was still set in the board’s March 30 minutes.

Ka Leo was unable to receive meeting minutes for April at the time of publication.

PREVIOUS BASHES The Aloha Bash music festival

is typically hosted by CCB at the Andrews Amphitheater in the last

week of April and features local musicians.

In the previous years, the turn-out for the bash was high. Tickets for students were $5 pre-sale and $15 the day of in 2014.

“It was awesome the years I went,” Jacob Verania, Political Science major said. “I’m bummed because

I didn’t get to go last year, so I was really looking forward to it this year.”

Last year, the lineup for the con-cert included well-known local acts Kimie, Maoli, Jordan T., Josh Tatofi and Katchafi re.

“The lineups were always awe-some and the lineups were unique

to Hawai‘ i, compared to other col-leges’ end of the year bashes,” Ver-ania said.

Joshua Perez, Dance Major, said he remembered a fi ght at last year’s event and believed that could be a possible cause for concern.

CAMPUS CENTER BOARD“The purpose of the Campus Cen-

ter Board programing is to highlight [the campus center area], it is thegathering place … and bring peo-ple together, at the student union,” Kiyabu said.

Kiyabu said that every year CCB is allotted a budget and studentsdecide what activities they want to put on for the upcoming year. Sometimes the budget and sched-ule get changed along the way for various reasons.


Our main concept was the concept of aloha.

RAVEN BELLAMYSENIOR STAFF WRITER

A bill that would allow for med-ical marijuana dispensaries in Hawai‘ i has potentially halted as a result of tension between the state House and Senate.

House Bill (HB) 321 would establish a new chapter for medical marijuana dispensaries and limits amounts that can be purchased. However, House members who have disagreed with Senate amendments — and vice versa — have caused an ongoing delay that started April 16. The May 1 change of conferees further contrib-uted to the delay in a decision. Now, a conference committee meeting has been called for May 4.

“The lead negotiators on each chair are far apart on a variety of issues,” said House Rep. Karl Rhoads, in a telephone interview on April 30. “The bill is in jeopardy. I don’t know if anything is going to pass.”

DIFFERENCES IN THE CAPITOLAccording to Susan Chandler,

Public Policy Center director and task force member and facilita-tor, the Chairman for the Commit-tee of Health Sen. Josh Green, has a different approach to the way he wants to do the dispensaries.

“It looks like the diffi culty now in the senate is on the number of the dispensaries,” Chandler said in a telephone interview on April 30. “The question now is: how many dispensaries should there be, and where should they be, and who should be able to run them?”

In addition, multiple senate mem-bers believe the proposed dispensary is insuffi cient and have submitted testimony in opposition of HB 321.

“While HB 321 ... addresses a number of concerns previously expressed by this Department and other testifi ers, in many ways, it still lacks suffi cient limitations, controls, standards and regulations to pre-vent or minimize abuse by those who would attempt to utilize such a system for the illicit use and/or diversion of marijuana,” said Sen. Gilbert Keith-Agaran and Sen. Tokuda in written testimony April 8.

Members of the Senate Commit-tee on Ways and Means, the Senate Committee on Judiciary and Labor, as well as the the Department of the Prosecuting Attorney of the City and County of Honolulu also con-tributed to the testimony.

Among a list of proposed amend-ments, the group wants a limit of one dispensary license per county and only six dispensaries state-

wide. In addition to this, the sen-ators proposed Senate Bill 682 to be incorporated into HB 321 so that it “would prohibit medical mar-ijuana from being consumed or removed from its sealed container in all public places,” limitations of dispensary transportation of mar-ijuana and make patients opt to either grow their own or utilize a dispensary and not both, accord-ing to the testimony.

This proposal has been met with disagreement from the House, and ongoing conference meetings have taken place to dis-cuss the difference.

ESTABLISHING DISPENSARIES Last year, House Concurrent Res-

olution 48 (HCR 48) requested that the Univeristy of Hawai‘ i’s Col-lege of Social Sciences Public Pol-icy Center conduct and oversee a task force to “develop recommen-dations for the establishment of a regulated statewide dispensary sys-tem for medical marijuana,” accord-ing to their website. Representation was included from the legislature, state agencies, the medical pro-fession, law enforcement, the Drug Policy Forum, the American Civil Liberties Union, a caregiver and two medical marijuana recipients.

According to a previous Ka Leo report, the task force’s goal was “to get a consensus, and avoid a minority report – a report of members that don’t agree with recommendations.”

“For many years, the state has been trying to develop a way to dispense medical marijuana that is legal,” Chandler said.

Chandler said the task force spent a lot of time listening to medical marijuana growers from other states, patients, police departments and doctors and believes the task force came up with a good compromise.

CURRENT LAWAccording to Americans for Safe

Access (ASA), Hawai‘ i enacted a law in June 2000 that allowed seriously ill patients to use and grow their own medical marijuana.

Current Hawai‘ i law allows med-ical marijuana patients to have up to seven live marijuana plants, according to ASA. However, the law fails to address medical marijuana dispensaries or sources where patients can gain access to medi-cal marijuana. Currently, no mari-juana dispensaries in Hawai‘ i exist.

Rhoads says that HB 321 is intended to allow medical mari-juana patients to use the law that was passed in 2000.

“As a public policy, if you’re going to say that medical marijuana is helpful, then there should be a way for people to get it,” Chandler said.

On April 9, an old pipe at Snyder Hall broke and caused steam to fi ll the hallways of the second fl oor.

“A lot of people were standing outside, I came upstairs and of course there was steam blowing out of the ceiling and the fl oor was a wet,” said Blake Ushijima, a UH Mānoa graduate student.

After the steam leak hap-pened at about 5 p.m., the campus Department of Public Safety (DPS) promptly evacuated the building. It took approximately 20 minutes to stop the leak and clear the build-ing for re-entry.

“The pipe broke so the steam

was gushing in the hallway, the hallway was full of steam, there was no doubt about that,” Susan Ayin, microbiology education spe-cialist, said.

The pipe that broke was on the second fl oor between Ayin’s prep room and another classroom. Because of the high temperature of the steam, the pipe was not repaired until the next morning.

Ayin believes this is a serious safety issue and a pipe could break above an entry of a classroom. At 250 degrees fahrenheit, the steam could cause a student who has close contact to experience seri-ous burning injuries.

Ushijima said the steam leak was close to the classroom and

if a student happened to take a break to go to the bathroom and was exposed to the steam, the sit-uation could have been a lot worse.

DPS was unable to be reached for comment at the time this arti-cle was written.

IN NEED OF RENOVATIONSSnyder Hall opened its doors in

1962 and is now in need of repair. “A lot of things has changed

since the ‘60s,” Ayin said.Ayin said there are three phar-

maceutical cold rooms, or rooms used to preserve certain sub-stances at a low temperature, in Snyder Hall. Cold room 311D is cur-rently broken because the com-pressor is down and the challenge

is getting parts to fi x it. Ushijima said the cold room

on the second fl oor is not work-ing properly and there have been attempts to fi x it several times.

Safety showers are also needed in the classrooms, Ayin said. The graduate students work with reagents, which are substances used in chemical reactions that infl uence other chemical com-pounds and are at risk for chem-ical spills. The classrooms have emergency eye wash sinks, but there is still a need for safety showers, which would provide immediate attention if chemical spills were to happen.

Despite the annual inspection that was passed on March 9, 2015

by the UH Environmental Health and Safety Offi ce, some students feel the chemical fume hoods are not ventilating the properly. Ayin said some of the teaching assis-tants claim to smell odors from certain chemical fume hoods.

Ceiling tiles are also falling apart, Ayin said. She said there have been reports of students entering a classroom and seeing ceiling tiles that have fallen from the previous night.

Ayin added that birds nests that have been developing in the win-dow seals and bird droppings are a concern as they can cause diseases and are a risk for lung infection.

MARCOS DUPREYIRAOLASTAFF WRITER

The cost of a bus pass for full-time students on campus will increase by $10 next fall.

The increase is the result of a new contract between the Associated Students of the University of Hawai‘i

at Mānoa (ASUH) and the City and County of Honolulu. The city origi-nally proposed to increase the cost of a UPASS to $50 in Spring 2015 and then to $75 in the Spring 2016.

“The city was proposing to increase the price substantially, so we had to negotiate for a bet-ter rate since the student support

for this program was high,” College of Arts and Sciences Sen. Sean Mit-sui said in an email.

ASUH’s current contract began in Fall 2012 and was supposed to end on Fall 2014. According to ASUH President Stephen Nishara, ASUH was able to obtain sepa-rate extensions at the same rate

for Fall 2014 and Spring 2015 as negotiations for a new two-year contract continued.

THE BUS PASSAccording to ASUH Senate Reso-

lution 4-15, 60 percent of the stu-dent body uses TheBus for their

primary mode of transportation, and 90 percent of those students support extending the UPASS pro-gram beyond the current two-year contract.

There are two categories of passes available to UH students: Mandatory passes currently cost $30 a semester and opt-in passes cost $150 per semester.

The new contract will take effect in Fall 2015 with the new $40 rate that will be good until Fall 2016, when the cost will increase again to $50.

With the new contract, full-time undergraduate students will still be required to pay for mandatory pass.

The opt-in rate will increase to $250 for the rest of the two year contract.

“I know, it is a huge increase for the opt-in, but that is why ASUH wanted to ask for a better rate. Or

else everyone would have had to transition over to the opt-in rate,” Mitsui said.

Through the MyUH student por-tal, a survey was conducted in fall 2013 by ASUH, according to Nishi-hara. The data that was collected from the surveyed students showed that students saw the UPASS as an important program to support.

“I am glad ASUH fought to keep the price down, [it] still sucks the $40, but I guess it’s only $10 extra than paying $75,” Communications Major Cara Cooksey said.

She didn’t know there was going to be an increase in the UPASS, which for her is an essen-tial part of her tuition fees. She is still not happy to have to pay more in the future.

In 2009, ASUH and the city agreed to implement a plan to that would give students a fair rate to ride TheBus, according to ASUH Senate Resolution 4-15.

The UPASS two-year pilot pro-gram began in fall 2010 at a cost of $20 a semester as a mandatory fee for all UH Mānoa full-time under-graduates. Later, in Fall 2012, the fee was increased to $30.

The program does include stu-dents who are enrolled in the John A. Burns School of Medicine, the William S. Richardson School of Law and the Outreach College.

The program was developed to alleviate traffi c congestions and for students to use TheBus to get to school rather than driving their cars, according to the resolution.

BIANCA SMALLWOODSENIOR STAFF WRITER

The maximum amount college students can receive in Pell Grant funding may be frozen for the next decade under a budget proposal in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Introduced by the Republican-led House Budget Committee, the bud-get would cap the need-based grants at $5,775 per school year for the next 10 years.

“Freezing the Pell Grant amounts would mean that students would have to fi nd other ways to fund their educational endeavors,” Uni-versity of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa Asso-ciate Professor of Political Science Petrice Flowers said in an email interview. “They might have to work even more than they already do, they might have to ask their parents to fund more of their education-re-lated expenses, or they might have to take out more student loans.”

House Budget Committee Chair-

man Tom Price (R-Georgia) said the plan would contribute to a health-ier economy and more secure country with increased account-ability in Washington.

Associated Students of the Uni-versity of Hawai’i at Mānoa (ASUH) Arts and Sciences Sen. Krystal Shon, however, said that the budget plan keeps funding low for a group who needs the money most.

“It’s not fair,” Shon said. “The way that they’re looking at this is not equitable. So of course people like us have to fi ght for our rights because if we don’t they’ll just assume we don’t care.”

The GOP budget also makes cuts to social programs such as Medic-aid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

AFFECTING UH MĀNOA STUDENTSAccording to a U.S. News and

World Report article, 78 percent of students at UH Mānoa applied for need-based aid, with 53.4 percent

receiving need-based fi nancial aid received through completing the Federal Application for Federal Stu-dent Aid and 34.7 percent receiving self-help aid consisting of work-study and loans. However, only 24.9 percent of students needs were fully covered.

Shon said that while students do understand the importance of attending college and earning a degree, the last thing they want to be concerned about is how they are going to pay for school.

“We are all feeling the effects of this and we are all doing all this for what, because of the promise of what a college degree is going to bring us,” Shon said. “Regard-less, we know that when we go in the fi eld and [when] we’re applying [to jobs] that they’re looking at who has one and who doesn’t.”

CHANGING THE BUDGETBefore the budget, and the Pell

Grant freeze, can become law, the

U.S. House and Senate Appropri-ations Committees must debate, change and rewrite the budget. With Republicans controlling both houses of congress, the bigger hur-dle for the proposal could come when the budget is sent to Presi-dent Obama for his approval.

Although the budget process is not over yet, Sen. Brian Schatz said that he is confi dent that he and his colleagues will be able to pre-vent the cuts to fi nancial aid from becoming law.

“Federal grants and loans are some of the best tools students can use to make college more afford-able, and I will do everything I can to protect them,” Schatz said in an email interview.

REASONING BEHIND PROPOSED FREEZE

Since its approval in 2007, House Resolution 2669, also known as the College Cost Reduction and Access Act, has required that there be

mandatory increases to the PellGrant every fi scal year. The pro-posed budget plan claims thisclause is doing the Pell Grant pro-gram more harm than good.

The budget plan also states that recently, more students who come from higher-income house-holds have been receiving the Pell Grant.

Schatz said the budget plan would damage the education fund-ing. Since higher education is the way for those in the middle class to succeed, he said it is important to make the process easier for stu-dents and their families.

“The Republican budget would reduce opportunities for stu-dents and would make college less affordable for students, par-ticularly those of modest means,”Schatz said. “That is taking us in the wrong direction.”

JACQUES BRUNVILSENIOR STAFF WRITER

In a corner between Bilger Hall, Keller Hall and the Physical Sci-ence Building, next to the snack and soda machines, students and professors informally organize into a community of smokers to take a smoke break.

Soon, this will cease to exist. While faced with implementation challenges, University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa is preparing to enforce the July 1 smoking ban by providing more resources to smokers and by promoting a cleaner and healthier environment.

UH Mānoa is partnering with the tobacco prevention and educa-tion program and the State Depart-ment of Health in order to provide smokers with the help they need. The result will be a healthier and cleaner campus.

ABUNDANT RESOURCESA recent Ka Leo Opinions article

by Jake Taylor suggested UH may not be doing enough and does not offer enough alternatives to smokers. It’s important to under-stand the intention of the univer-sity, which is to provide a cleaner environment and to assist smokers if they seek the help themselves.

Unlike other schools, UH is an active partner to local health orga-nizations. For example, students who seek counseling from the Hawaii Tobacco Quitline can receive free nicotine replacement patches and gum.

“All patients at UHSM [University Health Services Mānoa] undergo tobacco screening during their ini-tial evaluations. Tobacco users are routinely offered counseling and smoking cessation advice, including referral to resources on our cam-pus and in our community,” UHSM Director Andrew Nichols said.

Lila Johnson, program manager for the tobacco prevention and

education program, also empha-sized that improvement in the community sometimes spreads from the top. The social norm itself will change when there’s no longer room for it.

“This is not to say to people [they] can’t [smoke],” Johson said. “It’s just to say there is a time, place and manner in which [they] can do and by having fewer and fewer locations where people are able to smoke, [they] are less likely

to be tempted or want to do that.”The Department of Health

Tobacco Prevention and Educa-tion Program is working with UH to raise awareness of the new policy. The organizations plan to place banners around campus and ads in Ka Leo.

Although preventing the use of tobacco products may not directly result in fewer peo-ple using cigarettes, UH Mānoa is prepared to promote health in the community and is aid-ing a statewide effort to remove tobacco use from public places.

CLEANER AIR FOR ALLSmoking students and faculty are

not only hurting themselves; they also put the health of those around them at risk.

“The issue is not if people have the right to smoke cigarettes if they want to. The issue is how this affects their society. How does this affect others? How does it increase the cost to everyone in terms of health care?” said Brian Issell, pro-fessor and associate director of Clinical & Translational Research (CTR) at the UH Cancer Center. “Your

risks increase for all these diseases if you are inhaling second hand smoke. The risks are fewer, but they are still the same issues. It can affect others, as it were, innocent bystanders who just happen to be nearby when the smoke is there.”

Although Issell referred to sec-ondhand smoke, recent studies have shown that so-called third-hand smoke is also harmful: res-idue contamination from tobacco lingers in rooms long after smok-

ing stops and remains on our clothes and can cause health risks. Even sitting next to someone who has fi nished smoking hours ago exposes us to thirdhand smoke.

Issell also said we must do everything we can to stop the habit. He suggested higher taxes on tobacco products and redirect-ing more money to treatment.

IMPLEMENTATION CHALLENGESDesignated smoking spots pro-

vide smokers with a place to leave their cigarette butts. Since desig-nated smoking areas are the only places that have outdoor ash-trays, removing them means a lot of these cigarette butts may end up on the ground and eventually in the ocean.

“Several options are available to reduce the environmental impact of cigarette butt waste, including developing biodegradable fi lters, increasing fi nes and penalties for littering butts, monetary depos-its on fi lters, increasing availability of butt receptacles and expanded public education,” as reported in an article published by the Inter-national Journal of Environmental

Research and Public Health.Implementation remains the

most important issue. If the Depart-ment of Public Safety enforces it poorly, the ban will be less effec-tive. Strict enforcement is vital if we are to expect smokers to follow the rules and to have respect for the policy – resulting in a cleaner and healthier environment for all.

THE END OF A COMMUNITYHunter Prendergast, computer

engineering major, said the infor-mal smoking areas on campus bring students and professors together.

“I think they provide a good forum for students of different majors to come together,” Prender-gast said.

Although there are outdoor ash-trays, members of this smoking community have donated a table, fl owers, several chairs and tools, extra ashtrays and a chess board. By mid-day, it isn’t surprising to see over 20 students and professors enjoying a casual smoke, engaging in conversation or focusing on a game of chess. The loss of this col-orful group will be unfortunate, but it will benefi t the entire community in the long run.

BOTTOM LINEA world without smoking will be

a better world. According to the American Cancer Society, along with the numerous health risks and the unquantifi able human suf-fering, tobacco can be blamed for major economic losses. Due to higher medical costs and produc-tivity losses, smoking-attributable economic costs in the U.S. are esti-mated to be between $289 billion to $332.5 billion per year; an aver-age of $10.47 for each pack sold and used in the U.S. This total includes:▪ $132.5 billion to $175.9 billion for

direct medical care of adults▪ $151 billion for lost productivity

due to premature deaths

▪ $5.6 billion for lost productiv-ity due to exposure to second-hand smokeSometimes to change the culture,

we need to implement strict poli-cies like the July 1 ban. When fewer people are exposed to smoking, fewer will be tempted to try it and develop the habit. This will result in a more sustainable and healthy society as a whole.

Finally, Time magazine called Hawai‘i one of the healthiest places to live in. We should keep it that way.

The issue is not if people have the right to smoke cigarettes if they want to. The issue is how this affects their society.

– BRIAN ISSELLASSOCIATE DIRECTOR OF CTR AT THE UH CANCER CENTER

Smoking is no longer coolUH smoking ban is on the right track about changing the norm

M O R E I N F O

WHAT ABOUT E-CIGS?

While the number of smok-ers using traditional cigarettes has been declining for years, the number of e-cigarettes has risen. In fact, they have become the most commonly used nic-otine product in the U.S. UH’s smoking ban will apply to e-cig-arettes. Statewide, Act 19, passed by the legislature in April, wil ban the sale of all cigarettes, includ-ing electronic ones, to people under 21.

MATHEW URSUA / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I In 2006, the State of Hawai‘ i prohibited smoking in most public enclosed or partially en-

closed areas. From Jan. 1, 2016, the ban will expand to e-cigarettes.

KEON DIEGOSTAFF WRITER

Growing nationwide pressure for mounting body cameras on police offi cers is a welcome development. Such devices are necessary to deter any potential power abuse and cre-ate enduring police accountability.

Scientifi c research has proven the measure successful, and there are now local efforts to implement the cameras.

CHANGING IRRESPONSIBLE BEHAVIORIn recent years there have been

many high profi le cases of prevent-able civilian deaths involving police offi cers. Controversy in accusations of police brutality often stems from the unreliability of witness accounts and bystander footage. Recent riots in Ferguson and Bal-timore have highlighted the mael-strom of anger with the behavior of law enforcement.

Having offi cers wear body cam-eras is among the most effi cient solutions. They allow the public to have a reliable record of police interaction with civilians.

The motivation is to provide security and protection both for offi cers and civilians. People tend to behave in accordance with the rules when they know they are being watched. That deters peo-

ple on both sides of the interaction from behaving criminally.

TANGIBLE RESULTSThese claims are not based

on guesswork. A 2012 experiment determined exactly how effective body cameras are in curbing inap-propriate behavior among police offi cers. The Rialto Police Depart-ment in California experienced “more than a 50 [percent] reduc-tion in the total number of inci-dents of use-of-force compared to control-conditions, and nearly ten times more citizens’ complaints in the 12-months prior to the exper-iment.”

Body cameras save money. Another report shows how much is wasted in litigation costs and “expenses associated with inci-dents involving use-of-force and citizens’ complaints.” Hawai‘ i law enforcement spends nearly $2 mil-lion annually on investigating com-plaints against police offi cers.

The public will have the tools necessary to appropriately deal with police misconduct and police offi cers will be shielded from disin-genuous complaints.

LOCAL EFFORTSState lawmakers have been try-

ing to bring body cameras to police departments in Hawai‘ i. Senate Bill

199, introduced by Sen. Will Espero (D), proposes to assign $2.7 million to the state’s four county police departments in an effort to furnish law enforcement with body and dash cameras.

“It can protect offi cers if they’re injured, someone attacks them, but at the same time it also gives an amount of protection to the general public,” Espero said.

According to the proposal, Hono-lulu County will receive $700,000 annually, Maui and Hawai‘i counties will get $250,000 each and there will be $150,000 for Kaua‘ i.

The Kaua‘ i Police Department has completed a month-long trial with the body cameras and plans to use them in the future. Although some Kaua‘ i offi cers protest the violation of privacy, the cameras also have their defenders.

A similar month long study is now in progress on Maui. It stud-ies how 10 police offi cers use their body cams and aims to decide whether the local department should adopt the technology.

“Nobody likes being recorded 24/7, but on the job, offi cers have to be at the highest level of profes-sionalism and I think the body cams will only promote that,” retired Fed-eral Agent Tommy Aiu said.

Honolulu Police Department Chief Louis Kealoha, head of the

largest police department in the state, is still reviewing options andcosts for the body and dash cams.

Reducing crime and providing a sense of security for offi cers and civilians is a moral obligation to which we must hold ourselves. At the same time, the public should respect the risk offi cers take daily and it is necessary for law enforce-ment offi cials to respect the authority given to them.

It’s a two-way street, and body cameras will only serve to facilitate that balance.

Recording encounters can set the record straight for officers, civilians

M O R E I N F O

The most recent study (March, 2015) from the San Diego Po-lice Department found reduc-tion in the following areas:

40.54%fewer complaints

59.76%fewer allegations

46.5%less weapon use-of-force

30.5%less chemical agentsuse-of-force

Body cameras for police key to accountability


Among the nearly 700,000 police officers in the U.S., one in 10 wears a body camera.

OUR VOICE

After Corinthian Colleges, Inc., went out of business on April 26, the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) tried to help students work-ing toward degrees at colleges the company owned.

It issued a list of schools at which Corinthian’s students could enroll to continue their educa-tion. Locally, Corinthian was the parent company of Heald College, which enrolled Hawai‘ i students at two locations on O‘ahu.

While there were public institu-tions on the list, there were also other for-profi ts, such as the Uni-versity of Phoenix.

Instead of pointing students toward other for-profi t schools, though, the DOE should be direct-ing students away from them and working to end an unsavory mingling between business and higher education.

A centerpiece of these institu-tions are online degree programs that they argue provide better job opportunities to non-traditional students – single parents, high school drop outs and others who can’t attend traditional classes.

But Corinthian’s demise after a $30 million fi ne resulting from a federal decision that the college had made false claims about the jobs its graduates had landed could be the fi rst of many.

ITT Technical Institute, for example, is facing predatory lend-ing charges from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. And a report published in the Miami Herald last month suggests that Kaplan University, another for-profi t, may be using recruitment practices similar to Heald’s.

All of this highlights the grue-some model used to run higher education like a business: exag-gerate the benefi ts of for-profi t degrees, while forcing students to pay for them with tens of thou-sands in loans, many directly backed by the government.

It’s a practice that needs to be eradicated by federal authorities.

There’s no doubt that the effects of similar closures on stu-dents will be widespread and painful. It may be the best option, though, lest these colleges con-tinue to snag students.

SPIRITUALIZED SURFERS WORKSHOP

DANIELLA REYESSENIOR STAFF WRITER

Café Kaila is one of the most popular breakfast restaurants near campus, so it was exciting to see them roll out a new dinner menu featuring dishes cooked up by owner Chrissie Kaila Castillo. They’ve started serving dinner to fulfi ll lease requirements, so the menu may have further changes as they work out the kinks.

ATMOSPHEREThe atmosphere at Café Kaila

for dinner is noticeably different from the breakfast rush. There was no line of customers waiting out-side, and we were seated immedi-ately. Perhaps this will change as more people hear about the din-ner menu.

The clientele, usually an equal mix of tourists and locals during breakfast, consisted of mostly local families eager to try out the new dishes. Gone was the bright sun-shine fl ooding in from the glass entryway – instead, the dining area was softly lit with electric candles and fl owers on each table. Jazzy instrumental music and the soft murmurs of patrons added to the ambiance. It’s a small space and at times felt cramped with tables pushed close enough that I could constantly hear the conversations of diners around me.

Service was friendly and polite, and our server offered suggestions as we tried to decide what to order. The food was delivered in about 15 minutes.

FOODAmbiance is important, but what

about the food? My party wasn’t impressed by the offerings, but this could change as Café Kaila contin-ues to tweak their menu. Currently, “Kaila’s Comfort Menu” consists of “small bites,” salads, pizzetta, breakfast items and “big bites.”

The small bites included fried spinach and cheese ravioli, garlic, soy and honey-marinated chicken skewers, gourmet mac and cheese, and chicken pot pie. The pot pie and mac and cheese are available as full-size entrées. Pizzettas live up to their name – they are small, individualized pizzas with toppings like Italian sausage, mozzarella or sun-dried tomatoes. Big bites con-sisted of meatloaf, veggie arrabiatta lasagna, kalua pork sliders, fried chicken and waffl es.

We ordered the small chicken pot pie ($8), the kalua pork sliders ($14) and the Belgian malted waffl e with strawberries ($12). The chicken pot pie was everything I wanted a chicken pot pie to be – creamy and comforting with plenty of vegetables and chicken. It was not overly-salted, something that happens to many pot pies. The crust was buttery and fl aky, complementing the savory fi ll-ing well. If you order the large entrée, you get the pie with sides of home-style potatoes and steamed broccoli.

The kalua pork sliders were underwhelming. We got three bar-beque sliders on a sweet bun, with a side of chips and coleslaw. The meat was tender, but it was just kalua pork covered in barbeque sauce – something that could be prepared at home. The sides were basic potato chips and coleslaw drowning in mayonnaise. Flavor-ful, but nothing special and disap-pointing compared to the pot pie.

For those who love breakfast for dinner, the Belgian waffl e added just the right amount of sweetness to our meal. Light and fl uffy, this dish alone is a good reason to come back to Café Kaila for dinner – avoid the breakfast lines. Other dishes that received rave reviews from fellow diners included the lasagna ($15), and the fried chicken and waffl es ($13), served on their classic waffl e with cayenne maple butter.

VERDICTWith entrées from $12-$16, I

wouldn’t recommend this place as a regular eating spot for college students on a budget. Portions are on the smaller side, and if you’re

on a date, the cramped diningspace is a minor drawback. How-ever, the pot pie and waffl es were delicious and made for an enjoy-able night out. If you like Café Kaila for breakfast, chances are you’d like it for dinner as well.

CAFÉ KAILA BRE AKFAST


Since opening its doors in 2007, Café Kaila has been quite the pop-ular breakfast joint for tourists and locals alike.

Lines on the weekends can get long, with wait times sometimes an hour or longer. I’ve never been hungry enough to brave the week-end wait at Café Kaila, so my dining companion and I visited this Mar-ket City Shopping Center estab-lishment on a Tuesday morning at 10 a.m. There were a few parties ahead of us, but we only waited about fi ve minutes to get seats at the counter in the back.

Café Kaila serves breakfast from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., with their permanent menu consisting of pancakes, waffl es, French toast, omelettes and other assorted breakfast staples. They have a rotating menu of specials, which includes maple bacon waffl es and smoked salmon Eggs Benedict.

We ordered the regular Eggs Benedict ($13.95) and French toast with blueberries and strawber-ries. Each fruit costs an extra $2.50. The French toast was pillow-soft, the delicate cinnamon fl avor aug-mented with strawberries and blue-berries. The toast was perfectly cooked, crisp on the outside and chewy inside. The three pieces of toast made for a very fi lling meal.

However, the Eggs Benedict was cooling when we got it, the hollan-daise sauce congealed and looked unappetizing. The server quickly took it back when I mentioned it to her and a new dish was brought out within a few minutes. This one was much better, although they were a bit stingy with the hollandaise sauce this time around. The poached eggs, ham and English muffi n together were very rich, but the lack of hol-landaise was noticeable.

Go to Café Kaila for its carbs – the waffl es, French toast and pancakes.

Everything is light, sweet with-out being saccharine, and satisfy-ing. If you want to skip the crowds, go during a weekday or during their dinner menu.

The parking lot can get crowded between the restaurant crowd and Foodland shoppers, so look for parking on the lower lot in a pinch. Café Kaila is within walking distance of the dorms, making it a nice place to go to for dinner on a Friday night. It’s BYOB, with a $5 corkage fee.

HENRY MASENIOR STAFF WRITER

Bridging the gap between West-ern and Japanese culture, “Eye-shield 21” aims to mix the best of both worlds. Manga artist Yusuke Murata teams up with manga writer Inagaki Riichiro to create a manga focusing on America’s most popu-lar sport, football.

The manga, titled “Eyeshield 21,” tells the story of a young, shy boy named Sena who begins his fi rst year at Deimon High. Ever since he

was little, Sena was constantly bul-lied into being everyone’s errand boy. As a result of constantly run-ning around, Sena has gained a gift of being one of the fastest stu-dents in Japan.

Through some bizarre yet hilar-ious incident, Sena was eventu-ally recruited to become part of Deimon High’s American football team, the Devil Bats. By incorpo-rating his abnormal speed, Sena learns the fundamentals on how to play the sport and grows to love the game of football. With aims to reach the Christmas Bowl, which is equivalent to the Super Bowl for the Japanese students, Sena and his team — which consists of mostly misfi ts wanting to prove themselves — matures together to hone their skills and overcome powerful opponents.

The artwork of “Eyeshield 21” is very detailed, with each character

being easily distinguishable and well drawn out. If you had read my previous review on the new manga “Onepunch-Man,” you will real-ize right away that it is the artwork of Murata. With the clean, visually

appealing look of the manga, the art itself is enough to attract read-ers to “Eyeshield 21.” There is a rea-son why Murata is famous for his work in “Eyeshield 21” – it is evi-dent that he placed a lot of work into giving a consistent, atten-tion-to-detail look in all 333 chap-ters of the manga.

Being such a large series with the amount of chapters “Eyesh-ield 21” has, Riichiro is able to keep the story fresh and excit-ing throughout the entirety of the story. The pacing of the story fl owed well, and there isn’t a part of the series that feels dull since there is always something to look forward in the next chapter,

whether it may be an introduc-tion of a new character or a twist in the chapter which teases you to keep on reading. With intense action scenes, over the top humor and exciting development of char-acters, the mind of Riichiro gives the readers a thrill that they’ll surely want to ride till the end.

The characters within “Eyeshield 21” is something that is truly to be loved in this series, as each mem-ber of the Deimon Devil Bats has their own unique skill and back-ground. With such a diverse pool of personalities within the football team, the chemistry between the

characters are very well thought out and sometimes hilarious. I don’t know how many times I burst out laughing while reading the dialogues exchanged between Sena and his team and it gives me a reason to keep on reading.

Overall, “Eyeshield 21” is a manga that many Western people can enjoy. The combination of American football and manga makes for an interesting read for both Japanese and Western readers alike. Withthe combine talents of Murata andRiichiro, “Eyeshield 21” is a gem ofa manga that anyone can love, no matter where they are in the world.

They are analagous to comic books here in Amer-ica, but instead of normally reading from left to right, the sequence of panels instead go from right to left.

ASSOCIATE FEATURES EDITOR

A tile is removed, revealing salt and pepper hair and a well-tanned face with charming wrin-kles. Yup, that’s George Clooney. This is a typical level presented to players in “100 Pics.”

This puzzle app tests the keen-ness and memory of players on trivial topics. A photo covered by four tiles fi lls the screen and play-ers must guess the correct person or object. Underneath the pictures is a letter bank, adding a hangman twist to the game.

The more tiles on the photo, the more coins earned when the correct answer is given. Coins are used to unlock even more photo challenge topics such as television shows, fl ags and car-toons. Coins can also be used to give hints. With over a hundred unlockable categories and weekly additions, there’s no doubt that players will be kept busy.

“100 Pics” has a lot of top-ics that will test your mem-ory of grade school as you try to remember the geography of Europe.

One negative aspect of the gaming app is the bulk of ads that interrupt gameplay. Being a free app, ads are thrown in between every two or three pho-tos, which slows down the play-through and quickly becomes tedious.

“100 Pics” isn’t innovative enough. That being said, it’s still fun to play and a great way to pass time. Not all users will be thrilled, but for the niche audi-ence, “100 Pics” could be their gaming addiction.

For many, cricket is a sport from either another time or another part of the world. However, the emerging University of Hawai‘ i Cricket Club is intent on proving that cricket has a long and storied place in the United States – even in the 808.

Matthew Barrett, a graduate stu-dent at the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa, originally from the United Kingdom, rebutted the notion that cricket is out of place in the states.

“I would say that cricket is an international game,” Barrett said. “It’s played in many countries around the world, dominated by the British Commonwealth coun-tries. The U.S. actually has quite an

old cricketing history. Cricket was quite strong right up until baseball began to take over.”

Barrett said “these days, I think cricket is staging something of a resurgence” at UH.

In addition to the two existing cricket clubs in Hawai‘ i, the Hono-lulu Cricket Club (HCC) and the Maui Cricket Club (MCC), Barrett and a small band of cricket enthu-siasts have been in the process of establishing a club based at the UH Mānoa campus.

To Barrett, the establishment of the UH Cricket Club is just another notch in Hawai‘ i’s venerated history with the sport.

“The University of Hawai‘ i Cricket Club has been trying to add some impetus, but there have been more

clubs in the past, and the numbers have gone up and down throughout history,” Barrett said.

The competition pool in the islands isn’t large. Yet, cricket clubs around the world have trav-eled to the Aloha State just to play ball, Barrett said. In addition to the six matches the HCC and MCC play annually, teams from the main-land, Australia, New Zealand and Canada have all traveled to square up with Hawai‘ i’s ranks of dedi-cated cricketers.

Even though competition is at the heart of cricket, team bowler and batsman Aditya Singh said that there’s no love lost after the match.

“Although your performance on the fi eld does matter, after the game everyone relaxes together,

forgets the game and waits for thenext game,” Singh said.

Singh, an undergraduate atMānoa, mentioned that the sportserves as a communal touchstoneand a reminder of his own child-hood summer nights spent playingcricket with friends.

“I grew up in Mumbai, and as apart of daily activities with friends Iwould play an hour of cricket in theevening,” Singh said. “When it wastime to come to Hawai‘ i — when Icame for the fi rst time — just imag-ine that you come all the way fromMumbai to an island and realizingthat there are, indeed, people whoplay cricket.”

Singh had high praise for thediversity that the clubs bringtogether.

“Hawai‘ i is a very diverse island,people from all nationalities [are]here. It’s not just a group of Indiansor Sri Lankans or Pakistanis playingcricket; you have Australians, Ban-gladeshis – all kinds people comingtogether, playing cricket and enjoy-ing the game,” Singh said.

Hawaiian cricket is also a sportthat is diversifi ed in age.

“We have players ranging from18 years old to 60 years old,” Singhsaid. “We’ve played visiting teamsmade up from 20 year olds to anAustralian over 60’s team visit.”

In the words of Barrett, “We wel-come all members.”

HANA AH YOUSTAFF WRITER

The name Rebel SoulJahz brings to mind images of the four local men whose faces are displayed on album covers and posters around the world.

With three million views on You-Tube, 140,000 fans on Facebook and 80,000 Instagram followers, the Waipahu-raised band has come a long way from lunchtime jams during high school.

However, behind the scenes there are less-recognized faces and forces driving the band and help-ing them get to where they want to be. I sat down with two of the lead vocalists, Mike Maglinti and Will Tauiliili-Sua, at one of their rehearsals and got to see a sliver of what it takes to be Rebel SoulJahz.

Andrew Hodges Jr. and Faaigaelo Moananu Jr., the other lead vocal-ists, were not in attendance but the room was not empty.

In addition to the four lead vocals, there is a band comprised of Sher-win Debrum (keyboard), Jaden Jumawan (guitar), Jazzton Lyons (drums) and Shay Marcello (bass guitar). These eight men, rang-ing from 25 to 40 years old, come together to make Rebel SoulJahz.

Their third and most recent album, “SoulJahz For Life,” came four and a half years after the 2009 album “Bring Back the Days.” The break allowed the band to revamp and come back stronger than ever, despite skepticism and accusations of the band being a one-hit-wonder.

“We were just trying to re-estab-lish ourselves. We solidifi ed some new members, solidifi ed a new team, management, promotions- everything from ground zero. We’ve been in the studio for the past four years,” Maglinti said. “We didn’t want to rush the project. Being away for that long – we wanted to put our best effort forward, so we took our time.”

“What people don’t understand is the recording process is the most treacherous, stressful part of the project. We can sit in the studio for two days out of the week and spend 10 plus hours in there, and the song wouldn’t even be close to 50 percent done,” Maglinti said.

During that time, Rebel SoulJahz maintained their large fanbase through social media and publi-cized any gigs they did have. Taking extra time on the album has paid off and Maglinti cites “SoulJahz For Life,” the title track off the album, as his favorite song the band has put out so far.

“It was actually a statement song for us,” Maglinti said. “It was just a statement saying, ‘We’re here, we ain’t going nowhere, we know who we are.’”

Currently, the band is in the pro-cess of shooting a music video for

their new single “Ms. Beautiful.” “First and foremost, for the

song, I want to shout out Shawn Fonoti,” Maglinti said. “I wrote the song about three years ago with brother Shawn.”

As far as the video goes, “I’m just as wondrous as you guys ‘cause our parts don’t start shooting until this Friday,” Maglinti said. “The cast started shooting. They actually just

wrapped up their parts today. As far as the vocalists and the band: We start shooting Friday.”

Soon Rebel SoulJahz will be going on tour again. “The big thing about the tour is we’re going to hit Tahiti,” Maglinti said. “We’ve been doing this for about eight years now pro-fessionally, and we’ve hit Guam, Saipan, New Zealand, Australia and the states, but this is the fi rst time in our musical career that we hit Tahiti, which has been something that we’ve always wanted to do.”

After Tahiti, they launch into two-and-a-half weeks on the West Coast, starting in Washington and going through California and into Nevada.

However, there is still much terrain left untouched by Rebel SoulJahz.

“I would like to go and visit my culture, which would be Samoa,” Tauiliili-Sua said. “I would possibly

want to go to Amsterdam.”Maglinti wants to tackle the

East Coast. “Not that many people from the

islands have portrayed Hawaiian music in like New York. I really want to compete with the big people on the big stage,” Maglinti said.

Maglinti said one of the big names he would like to collaborate with is “Bruno Mars: the hometown hero.”

For now, both Maglinti and Taui-liili-Sua hinted at possibly workingwith Common Kings in the future.“No promises, but the lead singerof Common Kings is actually my fi rst cousin so we’re in the talks of doing that,” Maglinti said.

Luckily, Rebel SoulJahz show nosigns of slowing down so there istime for collaborations with otherartists. The goal is to release the fourth album by summer.

“We’re going to keep going. There’s a lot more coming. We’re in the process of writing,” Maglinti said. “Be on the lookout for new projects coming to you soon, and bring us to UH.”

Catch Rebel SoulJahz at The Villein Ewa Beach on May 15 for the “Ms. Beautiful” video release party or at the Waikiki Shell on July 25 for The MayJah RayJah 2015 Music Festival.

SAMMI BAUMALOHA NIGHTS EDITOR

Meet Mike Izon, an O‘ahu native

from Whitmore Village in Wahiawa. Izon is a multi-talented musician; he’s well-versed in the guitar and vocals, with seven years of experi-ence in both. On top of these skills, he’s on Youtube, covering famous songs like “Purple Haze” by Jimi Hen-drix, “Rolling in the Deep” by Adele and “Wake Me Up” by Avicii.

“I do have my own original music,” Izon said. “Sadly, I just don’t have the equipment to make the videos.”

Despite a lack of equipment, Izon was able to create his fi rst album, “The Book of Clichès.” This album can be found on iTunes for $9.99 and contains 12 original pieces with contemporary, reggae, soul and R&B sounds.

Currently, a second album called “Reincarnation” is underway and planned to be released before August. Izon is moving to California to pursue his career and wants to leave the ‘aina with a gift.

“Reincarnation” is inspired by and dedicated to Izon’s late father, Zachary Izon. “Whenever I would show him my music, we would always go back and forth with many ideas,” he said.

Other infl uences Izon credits include John Mayer, Jimi Hendrix, and Eric Clapton, whom he tries to mimic

guitar sounds after, and Stevie Won-der and Michael Jackson for vocals.

These inspirations and Izon’s hard work, mixed with talent, led him to win the 2012 title of Kol-labaration Star. Kollabaration is an Asian-American talent search competition where 14 states go head-to-head for the title of Kolla-baration Star.

“I was lucky enough to go all the way and it was tough. Honestly, that year, G. Yamazawa [a competi-tor] was the guy that I was worried about. I remember watching his performance specifi cally because I knew he would kill it,” Izon said. “That night was my night, but the best thing about all of it was my dad got to see it while he was still with us. I ran over to him as soon as I was off stage and hugged him and just kept telling him, ‘We won dad, we won.’ By far the best moment of my life.”

After Kollabaration, Izon’s career was launched into full-speed. Later the same year, Izon was invited to perform at the Mnet Asian Music Awards in Hong Kong, a feeling he described as amazing.

“I had no idea who or what was going on,” he said. “Growing up in a small village suburb, it was a lit-tle intimidating walking on the red carpet, the same one that Jackie Chan, B.o.B., Adam Lambert and PSY just walked on.”

Aside from getting to share the red carpet with A-list celebrities, Izon spent time with the producers of Mnet, while they followed and fi lmed his every move; it wasn’t intimidating though, and he had a blast.

While it is apparent Izon isquickly gaining popularity with hisunique sound, the fame is nevergoing to affect him.

“I’m just a normal, country boytrying to make my dreams hap-pen,” Izon said. “I’ve won thingsand lost things: went to the main-land to try out for The Voice, Amer-ica’s Got Talent and Kollabaration.Even though I only won something in one of them, I still learned morethan I ever could have staying in Whitmore. I try to always be hum-ble and never conceited, because ‘You’re never a master, always a student.’”

Many University of Hawai‘ i students are fans of the infa-mous “Taco Tuesdays” at Serg’s on East Mānoa Road. It has $2 tacos, BYOB and a fun atmosphere. The Cinco de Mayo gods must have been looking out for us this year, because it just so happens to fall on a Tuesday, a taco Tuesday. See-ing that a regular Tuesday night can get wild, this one is expected to be a grand time. So if you’re feeling like stay-ing close to campus and still having a “magnífi co” time, then this is the fi esta for you.

When it comes to party-centric holidays you can always look to Chinatown to have something fun going on. This Tues-day from 5-11 p.m. you can head down to Chinatown for a good old-fashioned “Cantina Crawl.” There will be authentic food vendors, live DJs and musical performances, candy skull face painting and 15 separate bars participating in the Cantina Crawl itself. Even if you’re under 21 and cannot get into the bars, it is just as fun outside in the crowds dancing to music and walking around.

Much like the Cantina Crawl, this is a block party full ofgood food, music and Cinco de Mayo fun – but just a littlemore family friendly. Located on Restaurant Row, this blockparty goes on from 5-10 p.m. and features events for thewhole family. There will be a Keiki Corner, Mariachi bandsstrolling through the festival grounds, DJs on the main stage,and a beer garden for those who are over 21. If you’re look-ing for a fun time on the more relaxed side, then this is theevent for you.

Anxiously gathered in a South-ern California hotel room, the No. 3 University of Hawai‘ i men’s volley-ball team awaited its fate.

After falling to Pepperdine in last Thursday’s MPSF semifi nal, the ‘Bows and Waves would face-off again once more, this time for one of two at-large selections into the NCAA Championships.

Eliminated from the conference tournament, the only thing the Warriors could do was wait. With their destiny out of their hands, the ‘Bows needed top-seeded UC Irvine to take down Pepperdine in the fi nals, guaranteeing Irvine the automatic bid and Hawai‘ i the possible at-large selection. Irvine emerged victorious with a 3-1 win, but the NCAA bracket was not fi nal-ized until Saturday morning.

“He [head coach Charlie Wade] had mentioned to us that we had a shot at the at-large bid after our loss to Pepperdine,” said setter Jennings Franciskovic in an email. “There was just a lot of anxiety and nerves before watching the show. We had no idea what was going to happen.”

However, at 10 a.m. PST, the Rainbow Warriors got the news they were hoping for. Though they lost to the Waves in the confer-ence semis, Hawai‘ i continued to hold an advantage in the major-ity of selection committee criteria including head-to-head record and RPI. The team was gifted a second chance and the right to compete in a play-in game on Tuesday.

“Lots and lots of cheering and excitement,” said Franciskovic. “I felt really relieved that we were given this chance to prove to the nation what Hawai‘ i volleyball really is about. I felt like a burden was lifted, but now we just have to refocus.”

The last time the ‘Bows qualifi ed for the NCAA Tournament was in

2002, the program’s fi rst and only national championship, that was later vacated.

HOW THEY GOT THEREIn one of the program’s most his-

toric runs, the Warriors tallied their fi rst 20-win season since 2006. The result exceeded the Preseason MPSF Coaches Poll estimate of fi nishing seventh in conference, the ‘Bows

have continued to exceed expecta-tions and have risen to the forefront of UH athletics this season.

Prior to the MPSF Tournament, fi ve Rainbow Warriors earned All-MPSF honors. Seniors Brook Sedore and Taylor Averill were named to the All-MPSF First Team while juniors Kolby Kanetake, Sinisa Zarkovic, and sophomore Jennings Franciskovic earned All-MPSF Sec-ond Team selections. Zarkovic was also named to the MPSF All-Tour-nament team this weekend for his performances in the postseason.

NCAA BREAKDOWNHawai‘ i and Lewis join automatic

qualifi ers — Loyola, UC Irvine, Penn State, and Pfeiffer — each of them winning their respective conference championships.

The fourth-seeded Warriors are slated to face No. 5 seed Penn State in Tuesday’s play-in game. The ‘Bows last faced the Nittany Lions Jan. 9 in the Outrigger Invi-tational where Hawai‘ defeated them in three sets. However, Penn State enters the tournament having earned their 17th consecutive EIVA Conference championship and rid-ing a 16-match win streak.

“They have gotten a lot better since then and so have we,” said Franciskovic. “They have some really great players so we just need to come out and focus on our side of the net and play the way that we know we should.”

The Nittany Lions are led by senior outside hitter Aaron Rus-sell who has already tallied sev-eral accolades this year including

EIVA Player of the Year, EIVA Cham-pionship Most Outstanding Player, and the Karch Kiraly Award given to the nation’s best outside attacker during the regular season.

Should the ‘Bows advance, they will face No. 1 seed Lewis in the semifi nals.

“I think the most important things will be to practice like Thurs-day never happened,” said libero Kolby Kanetake in an email. “We need to continue to grind it out, work out some of the kinks, and most importantly get our confi -dence high. We know what we can accomplish, we just need to go out and execute … It has defi nitely been a rollercoaster, but things will calm down now. It’s time to relax and focus on Tuesday’s match.”

Can the MPSF remain as the

dominant conference for men’s volleyball?

From the formation of the Mountain Pacifi c Sports Federation in 1992, the conference has domi-nated on the national scale with 18 championships.

The rise of other competitive conferences have recently begun to challenge the MPSF. As the most recent example, the dominant per-formance by the 2014 National Champions, Loyola Chicago from the MIVA conference. The struggle for supremacy among the Division I conferences has become a much tighter race than it has been his-torically.

It used to be a near certainty that three MPSF teams would be in the fi nal four of the NCAA tournament. However, with the likes of MIVA teams such as Lewis and Loyola Chicago, in addition to other teams such as Penn State (EIVA) and Ohio State (MIVA) remain lurking in the scene, the MPSF has seen that usual number dwindle.

The problem with the teams from the MPSF is not that teams have suddenly seen a decrease in com-petitive play, but rather the other conferences have seen a growth of talent. From a mere statistical viewpoint, the MIVA and EIVA have teams that rival the top seeded teams in the MPSF.

Loyola Chicago and Lewis are the two programs that have the few-est hitting errors in the nation at 338 and 305 respectively. Another major conference, EIVA, follows the two MIVA teams with Harvard and Princeton. In the MPSF, Pepperdine has the lowest amount of hitting errors at 411.

The MPSF still dominates offen-

sively with six teams in the Top 10 in total number of attacks. Never-theless, MIVA holds the second and third spot.

Sometimes it is more importantto look at the hitting percentage of teams to determine the effec-tiveness of the offense. Out of theseven teams in the NCAA that hit on higher than .300, only three teams came from the MPSF.

Numbers may not always show-case the quality of the team, andwhen looking at the college rank-ing, the MPSF contains 10 of the Top 15 spots in the nation. It can be argued that the losses in the MPSFcome against better teams, which provides programs with, seemingly, the benefi t of the doubt when itcomes to national rankings.

Unfortunately, there remains lit-tle play outside of a team’s own conference. The competitive play that was seen between the MSPF,MIVA and EIVA was seen at the very beginning of the season and therefore is not a clear determi-nant of the strength of a team.Until the number of matches canbe increased between confer-ences, it may remain as a mystery to whether the MPSF still maintains a clear supremacy in men’s colle-giate volleyball.

The only time these the MPSF andAVCA conferences played against each other came in the beginning of the season when Hawai‘ i and UC Irvine obtained wins against Ohio State and Penn State.

Dominant conferences don’t last forever. Perhaps in the nearfuture the MPSF will begin to see their hold on men’s volleyball chal-lenged by outside teams. Until then, many will point to the MPSF’s sto-ried past with 18 national champi-onships, whether or not they have any true relevance in today’s state of volleyball.

After four grueling weeks of spring practice and gearing up for fall, the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa football team decided to cancel its annual “Spring Fling War-rior Bowl.”

The Warriors normally have an intra-squad scrimmage at the Clar-ence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex on the UH Mānoa campus, but have decided to cancel it this year due to roster issues and injuries.

“We need a lot of practice,” head coach Norm Chow said. “Also, we don’t have enough offensive line-men to have a spring game; we only have seven and you need more than that to have a full game.”

The anticipation for the upcom-ing fall 2015 season has been build-ing in the community, especially with the schedule that the War-riors are set to play against. Open-ing with a game against Colorado in September, Hawai‘ i is also set to play against the defending national champions and top-ranked Ohio State University.

“The University of Kansas lost their quarterback in a spring game and we can’t afford something like that to happen to us,” Chow said. “We need everybody healthy for the fall. You know the schedule, so we defi nitely need everyone to be ready.”

The Kansas Jayhawks recently lost their starting quarterback Michael Cummings in a spring practice game, after he sustained

a serious knee injury that required surgery. The Warriors have been preparing to head into their season with a new quarterback suspected to be under center on opening

weekend in former USC quarter-back Max Wittek. He saw action in 13 games as a Trojan and was forced to redshirt last year due to NCAA transfer rules.

As far as players go, Chow does

not think his players are that upset at the fact that there will be no Warrior Bowl this year. In fact, he thinks that some of them may be glad, the offensive linemen espe-

cially, since there are only seven linemen currently ready to play and forcing them to play an entire game would be very diffi cult for them.

According to Chow, the spring training session is the opportune

time to run new schemes on theoffensive and defensive aspects, and the Warriors just need a little more time to tune theirs up.

Hawai‘ i will return to the fi eld with 17 starters and 46 letterman,along with 16 new recruits for the 2015 season. After registering a 4-9 record last season, the Warriors hope to turn everything around with the help of their three newcoordinators and new additions to the team.

“We made tremendous strides and I like what I see; I think we alldo,” Chow said. “Obviously, we have a long way to go on both sides, but we know that … we’re not ready right now, but we will be when the time comes.”

The University of Hawai‘ i men’s golf team fi nished dead last in the Big West Conference Champi-onship which was held at the San Luis Obispo Country Club in San Luis Obispo, California.

In a three-day, three-round, 54-hole format, the Warriors found themselves in a hole from the get-go. The ‘Bows were in ninth after the fi rst day and remained there until the conclusion of the tournament.

Senior Ryan Kuroiwa, junior Scotty Yamashita, sophomores Pono Tokioka and Skye Inakoshi, and freshman Smart Kittirattanapaiboon competed for UH.

As a team, the ‘Bows shot 922 (+82). Yamashita was the ‘Bows’ top fi nisher after tying for 28th out of 45 individually. He shot for a total of 226 (78-78-70). Not far behind

was Kittirattanapaiboon, who had his best fi nish for UH, tying for 33rd after shooting 229 (77-75-77).

The UC Irvine Anteaters took the championship, shooting 860 (+20), with Cal Poly’s Justin De Los Santos fi nishing fi rst individually, shooting 212 (70-73-69).

Kittirattanapaiboon, despite a new personal best score, was dis-satisfi ed with his own performance as well as the rest of the team.

“I’m sure there’s still a lot of room for improvement. As a team, we could have done a lot better,” Kittirattana-paiboon, a native of Chiangmai, Thai-land said. “I think the expectations from coach [Ronn] Miyashiro was a lot higher as well. I feel like we could have been more focused and more concentrated. I guess we didn’t come together as a team as well as we should have, but of course, it wasn’t from a lack of effort.”

Although this was the fi nal tour-

nament for the Rainbow Warriorsthis season, the ‘Bows will fi ndthemselves on the course soon. Themen’s golf team’s season is one ofthe longest in the athletic depart-ment, with this year’s tournamentsspanning from October to April, inaddition to yearlong morning work-outs and afternoon practices.

Kittirattanapaiboon is optimisticabout the team’s future as therewere only two seniors on this year’steam, Kuroiwa and Brian Lee.

“I’m excited for next year,” Kittirat-tanapaiboon said. “We’re hoping forthe best because we know we havesome pretty good players in Scotty[Yamashita] and Skye [Inakoshi] aswell as the rest of the guys comingback next year. Hopefully the fresh-men recruits coming in next yearcan help the team as well and I lookforward to working with them.”

DREW AFUALOSTAFF WRITER

For Malachi “Lock” Mageo, the chance to play college football is a fresh start and a lifesaver that allowed him to escape the pres-sures of a dangerous life.

Growing up was not easy for Mageo, as his hometown of Carson, California, was not always a great environment. Mageo said he had a rough childhood, but he knows that it could always be worse and is grateful for every opportunity he’s been given.

“People like to say that they’re from the ghetto and they’re poor, but I don’t like saying that,” Mageo said. “We had all that we needed –and a little bit more than that. So I don’t want to say that we were poor, but my brothers and I did struggle fi nancially of course. We weren’t the only ones though, it was kind of just a way of life.”

A redshirt freshman and line-backer for the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa football team, he is the fi rst person in his immediate fam-ily to attend college. Mageo has learned to channel his struggles in life to his advantage, which has opened his eyes to avenues of opportunity.

As a freshman, he redshirted his fi rst year, willing to learn from those who came before him. Now entering his second year with the program, Mageo is ready to get on the fi eld and prove to every-one around him that anyone has the chance to turn a bad situa-tion around.

Although he has always shined athletically, his life off the fi eld did not always come that easy. Attrib-uting the situation to his environ-

ment, Mageo unfortunately got mixed up in some bad lifestyle choices, most of which were gang affi liated.

“Not all my family are in that life-style, but a lot of them are,” Mageo said. “It wasn’t really like I chose to do it, but it was just around me all the time. Either way I feel like I was going to be affi liated, whether I was a gang member or not.”

The lifestyle that Mageo got wrapped up in began to take over his life outside of school, so much so that something traumatic had to happen in order for him to take a step back.

After one of his brothers was stabbed and shot, Mageo felt he was bound to run into the same kind of trauma as well.

The summer of his sopho-more year in high school, Mageo was involved in an incident that resulted in him being brutally stabbed in the stomach. He was then hospitalized after that, fre-quently having to return for sur-geries due to complications from his injury, accrding to Mageo.

Mageo was devastated about his wounds. More than anything, he claimed he was upset at the fact that he couldn’t do the thing that he loved most – play football.

“It wasn’t the stabbing specifi -cally that made me not want to live that life. It was more that I couldn’t

play any sports, like basketball and football, and that’s all I do,” Mageo said. “It was like I was just a reg-ular student … and [after getting stabbed] it just felt like I didn’t belong anywhere.”

Before coming to Hawai‘ i, Mageo was already a recognized athlete. He was a two-time all-league pick at linebacker and was selected to the 2013 all-CIF Southern Section

Western Division second team and fi rst-team all-league in high school.

He was also named to the Daily Breeze second-team all-area defense, in addition to being selected as Serra’s Special Teams Player of the Year. During his senior year alone, Mageo recorded over 115 tackles, including 21 for loss of yards, three sacks, one intercep-tion, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. On top of his suc-cess on the gridiron, Mageo was also an honor roll student in the classroom.

“At fi rst, I hated my high school because it was a private school and outside of Carson,” Mageo said. “It was kind of stepping out of my comfort zone and I was one of the only Samoans who went there. But eventually, I grew to really love my school.”

Mageo was raised by his mother Ada Mageo with two older brothers and one younger brother. As the second to the youngest, he was not

always as close to his older broth-ers as he is now because of the age difference. However, with time their bond has grown stronger and he knows that his brothers support him in all that he does.

A 2013 graduate from Serra High School in Gardena, California, Mageo attended UH on a full schol-arship to play for the Warriors.

Although he suffered from many situations that many people would not be able to dream of, Mageo said he was able to get through it with the help of his faith. Accord-ing to him, he committed his life to Christianity when he was 17 years old — not long after his stabbing incident — and through that has found the strength to get away from that lifestyle.

Combining his faith and his love for playing sports, Mageo was able to channel all of his energy and angst into succeeding athletically. After recovering from his injury, he came back to varsity football his senior year, recording many impressive stats and records.

Along with his success on the fi eld and his success in the class-room his senior year, Mageo was able to secure a full ride scholarship to a Division I school, even after los-ing a whole year due to his injuries and proved that past mistakes you may have made do not defi ne who you can be in the future.

“Getting to play football is so much more than a game, it’s my way of life,” Mageo said. “It’s always been a big way for me to just be free.”

Earning a spot on a pitching rota-tion requires more than just skill. For a trio of pitchers on the Univer-sity of Hawai‘ i baseball team, suc-cess revolves around their ability to keep everyone in the game.

LJ Brewster, Tyler Brashears and Jarrett Arakawa have all devel-oped into reliable starters. While the team’s bullpen struggles have been tempered by using Quintin Torres-Costa as a reliever, the ‘Bows continue to place their trust on the starters, who have combined for 13 of UH’s 15 wins so far this season.

Head coach Mike Trapasso noted that transferring to three-game series for Big West Conference play helped the team in making the nec-essary adjustments in the rotation.

“The four-game series are a grind on any pitching staff, especially one with so many new guys like we’ve got this year,” he said. “But [Brew-ster, Brashears and Arakawa] have kept us in every game and that’s all you’re asking for.”

Trapasso also talked about each pitcher’s individual capabilities and what they bring on the mound as the team’s starters.

LJ BREWSTERDuring his freshman year, Brew-

ster (5-4) started off as an infi elder for the ‘Bows. But the junior strug-gled behind the plate with a com-bined average of .142 during his fi rst two years. However, Trapasso noticed that the junior’s arm was worth more than placing him on the hot corner.

“Two things [I saw in him]: a 90-mph arm and struggling as a hit-ter,” Trapasso said, adding that his transition into the starting rotation has been pretty seamless.

Brewster’s pitching debut was against UC Irvine last April, where he was able to strike out the side. He made six appearances on the mound last season, punching out seven batters in 5.1 innings.

This season, Brewster started off in the backend of the rotation – pitching third or fourth behind Brashears, Andrew Jones and Tor-res-Costa. On March 12, he started on the forefront of the rotation against Oklahoma and has been the team’s ace since then.

However, Brewster doesn’t exactly possess what a typi-cal strikeout pitcher would have. His ERA (2.51) is higher than that of Brashears’ (1.97). He has also walked 31 batters and thrown 10 wild pitches. But the Huntington Beach native brought in a skill that Trapasso said could not be taught – deception.

“He struggled a little bit with his command but yet he’s got some deception so when he’s behind in the count, he’s been throwing some balls that are belt high down the middle that guys just don’t get

good swings on so that’s something you can’t teach,” Trapasso said . “You just have that.”

The head coach also com-mended Brewster’s tenacity on the mound that kept him throw-ing beyond the fi rst six innings for most of this season.

“What LJ brings most of all is … a tough competitive mentality, that no matter what the situation is,

he’s going to battle,” Trapasso said. “What you can’t teach is just his feel for the game and the compet-itiveness, and that’s what he’s able to do for you.”

TYLER BRASHEARSBrashears (6-4) began his colle-

giate career in junior college, where he divided his time as a starter and a reliever. During his fi rst season, he recorded an 8-3 record and a 2.28 ERA. He struck out 71 batters in 86.2 innings and his opponents were only able to bat .189 against him.

“We saw him as a potential Fri-day guy and a defi nite starter in our rotation,” Trapasso said. “He’s a guy that could do exactly what he’s been doing [right now].”

Currently, Brashears is behind Brewster in the rotation. He boasts an ERA of 1.97 — fourth-best in the Big West — and also leads the

team in wins (6), opposing batting average (.232) and strikeouts (55). His ability to last in the game gave Trapasso breathing room to bring in a closer.

“Brashears brings you complete pitch ability at the college level,” Tra-passo said. “Four pitches for strikes, throwing strikes at any time, and doesn’t walk people with plus stuff.”

The junior also boasts a nine-strikeout game against UC Davis. He also earned recognition as Big West Pitcher of the Week on April 27 after a stellar performance against UC Santa Barbara, surren-dering only three hits in 7.2 innings. During that game, he was able to pitch his way out of a bases-loaded sixth-inning jam that allowed his team to rally in the next frame.

JARRETT ARAKAWAArakawa (2-3), who Trapasso

described as “a crafty lefty,” started with the Rainbow Warriors as a freshman. During his rookie sea-son, he posted a 5-4 record and was sixth in the Western Athletic Confer-ence with 65 strikeouts and struck out a career-high of nine batters.

However, the redshirt senior tore his left labrum in 2013 and had to sit out the entire season. A year later, he underwent the same sur-gery after his junior year, where he struggled with soreness on his shoulder throughout the season.

Following his rehab, Arakawa came back to the rotation behind Brewster and Brashears this sea-son. But he did not start his fi rst game until March 8, where he hurled two innings against Hous-ton. He has thrown in every series since but continues to struggle with pain in his left shoulder.

On several occasions, he would stay on the mound despite throw-ing in pain. During his start against UC Davis on April 4, Arakawa was in discomfort after two innings. How-ever, he refused to step off and battled through the pain to pitch until the fi fth.

“He was a high draft [prospect] until the injury and now it’s just been such a struggle for him com-ing back from the injuries,” Tra-passo said. “But I admire him more than any player I think I’ve ever had because of what he’s been through.”

Right now, Arakawa has pitched through fi ve or more innings on fi ve starts, throwing a total of 33.2 innings with an ERA of 4.28. Although he has only pitched around half (531) of what Brewster (963) and Brashears (1060) have thrown, Trapasso remained con-fi dent in Arakawa’s recovery and ability as a starter.

“The arm action is different because of the two surgeries that he’s got no choice,” Trapasso said. “He’s lowered his angle a little bit and he is nowhere near the veloc-ity he used to be at.”

“But he could pitch and he’s left-handed and he competes. He’s a warrior,” Trapasso said.

BASEBALLThe Warrior baseball team opened its

series against Long Beach State in fl ying fashion, defeating the home side in Cal-ifornia by a score of 7-4 this past Friday evening. At the plate, the ‘Bows had three players register a .500 batting average while registering multiple hits. Jonathan Weeks went 2-for-4 with two RBI’s, Alan Baldwin also was 2-for-4 with one RBI and two runs scored and Chayce Ka‘aua was 2-for-4 with one RBI and one run.

UH would continue its success against the Beach with a narrow, defense driven 1-0 vic-tory on Saturday. Tyler Brashears continue to give opposing batters nightmares at the plate, as the UH ace pitched eight innings surrendering four hits and three walks in a shutout performance. Saturday’s game marked the 11th consecutive game that Brashears has not allowed a run in.

MEN’S VOLLEYBALLThe Warrior volleyball team saw its Moun-

tain Pacifi c Sports Federation title run come to an end in a four-set loss to third-seeded Pepperdine this past Thursday in a four-set loss (21-25, 25-22, 26-24, 25-16). The good news for the Warriors, despite the loss, was that they earned an at-large bid for the NCAA tournament and will now look for-ward to play Penn State on May 5 where the winner of that game will go on to play No. 1 seeded Lewis on May 7.

SOFTBALLThe Rainbow Wahine had to come from

behind for the win on Friday against CSUN,but were able to lift past the Matadors pow-ered by a game-winning run scored by Kayla Wartner for the 4-3 victory. ‘Bows pitcher Brittany Hitchcock also registered a quality start for the ‘Bows pitching a complete game while allowing three runs on six hits.

UH looked to take the momentum of a come from behind win and used it on Saturday with a double-header against CSUN, but dropped the opening game of the double-header by a score of 2-0. The ‘Bows, would rally yet again to take the second game by the skin of its teeth with a 2-1 victory. UH’s two runs were scored on a Rachel Lack two run-home run in the fourth inning. Lack, who began the season slowly at the plate, has sparked UH’s offense since con-ference play began and now is second on the team with eight home runs on the year.

WATER POLOThe Rainbow Wahine won the Big West

Conference Tournament last week Sunday in a nail-biting 9-8 overtime victory. Caity Lopes da Silva scored the winning goal for the ‘Bows with 10 seconds remaining in overtime play.

Coming off the tournament victory, the ‘Bows were honored by the BWC as utility player Chloe Barr was named the Big West Player of the Year and Rainbow Wahine head coach Maureen Cole earned Big West Coach of Year honors. Attacker Paula Chill-ida Esforzado, utility player Lopes da Silva and utility player Claire Nixon all earned fi rst team honors while attacker Zoe Respondek was named as a Big West hon-orable mention.
