To ensure that University of Hawai‘i President M.R.C. Green-wood’s Hawai‘i Graduation Ini-tiative is successful, UH Mānoa administrators are focusing on ways to increase enrollment. While the university system as a whole saw an increase in stu-dents, UHM saw a slight decrease of 0.2 percent, a 44-student drop. However, according to UHM Chancellor Virginia Hinshaw, this f luctuation between the fall and spring semesters is normal. Although the small drop in enrollment may be normal, Alan Yang, UHM’s associate vice chan-cellor for students and interim director of the Offi ce of Admis-sions and Records, attributes the decrease to economic factors. He said that students are opting ei-ther to halt their college careers or attend institutions where costs are lower — community colleges. But overall, enrollment at UHM has increased by between 10 and 12 percent over the last de-cade, Hinshaw said. A rise in ma-triculation correlates directly with Greenwood’s graduation initiative. During a historic joint session of the legislature last February, Greenwood unveiled the initia-tive, which will focus on afford-ability and student access. “Simply put, we want more local students to attend and graduate from the University of Hawai‘i,” Greenwood said. The goal of the initiative is to increase the UH graduation rate by 25 percent by 2015. According
to Hinshaw, increasing gradua-tion percentages entails raising enrollment fi gures.
UT I L IZ ING RESOURCES FOR COMMUNIT Y OUTREACH UHM administrators have al-ready started to reach out to pro-spective and current UH students. Yang, along with the Offi ce of Student Affairs, hosted UHM’s fi rst phone bank on Feb. 1. For two hours, administrators, includ-ing Hinshaw, phoned high school
students who have been accepted into UHM — but have yet to com-mit — and encouraged them to enroll. “It was a fun and personal way to inform students that Mānoa should be their destination of choice,” Hinshaw said. “It ’s also an important way to connect with your community.” Additionally, in the near fu-ture, UHM will implement auto-matic admission for transferring UH community college students
with associate degrees. Current-ly, transfer students must fill out an application for UHM and pay the application fee. With auto-matic admission, the application process will be waived. UH Ban-ner will be used to determine whether the student is admis-sible, and eligible students will automatically be admitted. “Down the road, this will in-crease the transfer enrollment,” Yang said.
THE GOVERNORʼS SUPPORT According to Hinshaw, exter-nal support is of critical importance for the initiatives to be effective. Gov. Neil Abercrombie and his team remain committed to the university and its needs. He has maintained that the university is a vital component to fi xing the struggling economy. “As for the University of Hawai‘i, I have high expectations for how it will transform our state under Presi-dent Greenwood’s leadership,” Aber-crombie said during his State of the State address. “Through its Hawai‘i

Graduation Initiative, UH will in-crease the number of college gradu-ates by 25 percent by 2015. We can achieve this goal by keeping educa-tion affordable and reaching out to students across the state who have not been traditionally well served at UH, including Native Hawaiians and neighbor island students.” Because UHM produces 79 percent of all baccalaureate de-grees within the system, Hinshaw emphasized the importance of the governor’s support. “We’re the engine for the state,” she said. “We need people to understand the contributions we add and the value we provide for the state of Hawai‘i; it ’s critical for the success of Mānoa.”
THE FUTURE OF UH Yang said enrollment for the coming semesters will remain stable at approximately 20,000 students. “In terms of quality, scope and rigor, we’re on par with any other state university,” Yang said.
“Sometimes the university in your backyard does get the recognition it deserves.” Greenwood exuded confi-dence in UH’s ability to fulfill these new challenges at the Fac-ulty Congress and Senate meet-ing on Feb. 16. “It ’s a difficult time for the university, but I’ve never seen a state where the over-all system has the potential that we have here at UH. “And I believe that we can meet these goals of improving graduation rates and enrollment and our capacity to change the state and, at the same time, grow-ing new fields and developing incredible excellence that only a research university can.”

On Wednesday, both the federal and Hawai‘i state govern-ments took steps to further gay and lesbian rights. At the national level, Presi-dent Barack Obama ordered the Justice Department not to uphold the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, calling it unconstitutional. Locally, Gov. Neil Abercrombie signed a bill allowing both homo-sexual and heterosexual couples to form a legally recognized civil union with all the provisions and strictures of a traditional hetero-sexual marriage. “I think it ’s a great day in Hawai‘i that we join a handful of other states in taking a lead-ership role in supporting equal rights for all people,” said Gary Hooser, longtime civil unions supporter and current director of the Office of Environmental Quality Control. Wednesday’s victory is the culmination of a years-long
battle for both civil unions advo-cates and opponents. “I know that many of us have been working since the ‘90s to see things through in terms of having relationships recognized,” said Camaron Miyamoto, LGBT Stu-dent Services Offi ce coordinator. In 1993, the Supreme Court of Hawai‘i ruled that due to the state’s equal protection clause, denying marriage licenses to same-sex couples was a form of discrimination. In response, Hawai‘i Constitutional Amend-ment 2 was passed on Nov. 3, 1998 which gave the legislature rights over the power of marriage and associated benefi ts. In 2010, civil unions legis-lation passed both the Hawai‘i House and Senate, but was ve-toed by then-Gov. Linda Lingle in July. In November, Abercrom-bie was elected governor and campaigned on a platform that included a positive stance on the issue of civil unions and gay rights. The civil unions issue was
revived early this legislative ses-sion, in the form of Senate Bill 232, and swiftly passed through both houses of the Legislature. The Senate passed the bill on Jan. 28, and the House followed suit 14 days later. The signing of the bill is a posi-tive development for many Mānoa students. “So many students were excited yesterday saying that ‘you know what, I don’t have to leave home anymore to have my rela-tionship recognized. I grew up here, and I can stay here – I’m not going to be forced to leave.’ And just that, they were saying, just means so much,” Miyamoto said. Hawai‘i is now the seventh state to take this step toward legalizing same-sex marriage. The bill is slated to become law on Jan. 1, 2012. The term “civil unions” is not interchangeable with same-sex marriage. Marriage is a social term of commmittment, whereas civil union denotes a legal status.

A swarm of people have already accu-mulated on Kahala’s rain soaked pavement by 7:30 a.m. on a brisk Saturday morning. Fragrant plumes are imbued with a heady confl uence of Nalo Greens, oven-baked delicacies and freshly caught opakapaka. Welcome to Kapi‘olani Community Col-lege’s farmers market. Since the market’s inception in 2003, KCC’s Parking Lot C has played host to a myriad of booths and vendors striving to-ward the cultivation of an interdependent agricultural network. Each Saturday from 7 to 11 a.m., droves of prospective patrons fi ll the walkways, forming lines around lines in attempts to obtain their favorite local dishes.
Dean Okimoto, president of the Hawai‘i Farm Bureau Federation and Nalo Farms, estimates that the market hosts around 65 booths weekly. Operating the Not Just Desserts booth, Kate Wagner has been with the farmer’s market since the beginning. “It’s been growing healthily ever since I’ve been here, and I’m always excited to see who’s going to be offering what,” Wagner said. A chef for 23 years, her tables are brimming with chocolate-infused confec-tions and haupia-laden cakes, made with chocolate grown in Kona. In addition to the KCC farmer’s market, she frequents Kailua’s new market on Thursdays, and runs the Not Just Desserts store, a bakery in the back of Chinatown. The farmer’s market came together with help from Conrad Nonaka, director of
The Culinary Institute of the Pacifi c at the University of Hawai‘i Community Colleg-es. The HFBF approached Nonaka about the prospect in 2003, and it proved to be a worthwhile investment for both parties. The event also provides a good opportu-nity for KCC’s culinary students to learn the inner workings of food marketing, as their department reserves two booths for them each week. The students are hired to work in order to fi nance educational tours to culi-nary hotspots such as France and Thailand. According to a survey conducted by the HFBF, the market draws roughly 7,000 people a week. However, the recent eco-
nom ic downturn has visibly affected the regular ebb and f low of customers. “Business has been slow lately. We used to pop four bags of kettles every week, but lately we’ve been struggling to pop two,” said Nick Nakamura of Paniolo Popcorn. The business has been participat-ing for four years, and hopes to continue. Despite the downturn, many remain optimistic about the enterprise, and other

‘127 Hours’ in 504 words‘127 Hours’ in 504 wordsNICK WEBSTER
Staff Writer
Films often keep us on the edge of our seats by being unpredictable. English direc-tor Danny Boyle’s latest, “127 Hours,” keeps the audience in suspense by doing the exact op-posite: it is very clear what will happen in the end, but the audi-ence does not know how or when it will happen. With this approach, Boyle is able to create an intense piece about a man fighting for his life in the direst of circumstances. Based on a true story, the fi lm stars James Franco as Aron Ral-ston, an engineer from Colorado who spends his weekends back-packing in the mountains. The fi lm documents a weekend in 2003, when Ralston headed to Blue John Canyon in Utah without letting any-one know where he was going. While venturing through the Canyon, Ralston comes across two lost female hikers. While he helps them through a shortcut, the girls ask if the rocks could move. Fore-shadowing the rest of the movie, Ralston replies, “Sure they will, everything’s moving all the time!” Fifteen minutes into the fi lm, while hiking through another crevice, a boulder falls and pins Ralston’s right arm against the canyon wall. For the remainder of the film, Ralston’s battle gradually shifts from man vs. nature to man vs. self. While in severe pain and battling the elements of the des-ert, he attempts to free his arm, first chiseling away at the boul-der and later trying to make a pulley. All attempts fail, and days into his ordeal, Ralston comes to terms with his impending death.
As he starts filming goodbye messages to his family, the film f lashes between memories of his life, dreams and hallucinations. During these fl ashbacks — most notably one in which he ignores his mother’s phone call the day before the trip — you can sense Ralston beginning to appre-ciate what he has to live for. This culminates in visions of what he thinks his son would look like, and at this point, he decides to am-putate his arm. While extremely gruesome, the scene showcases the emotion of a man who is, in every sense of the phrase, stuck between a rock and a hard place. For a movie that spends the majority of its time in one setting with one character, “127 Hours” keeps the limited story going by utilizing great photography. Shots
that pan through the Utah desert are visually stunning, while ex-treme close-ups, such as one shot through Ralston’s bottle as he’s sipping his last bit of water, cre-ate a more intimate connection to his character. If you’ve seen Boyle’s hit “Slumdog Millionaire,” the same style comes across, with split screens and fl ashbacks recur-ring throughout the fi lm.
THE VERDICT “127 Hours” is a uniquely composed adventure fi lm which allows the audience to relive the ordeal of a man facing death. The gruesome sights and sounds of broken bones and self-amputa-tion may be too much for some, but Franco’s performance and Boyle’s direction make this a great fi lm. 4 out of 5 stars.

KTUH Correspondent
It used to be if you were really good at playing one instrument, you could be set for life in the musical world. Whether it was shredding on your guitar like Slash or ripping on your violin like Joshua Bell, you had an irrefutable talent. These days, however, the next big thing is being a multi-instrumentalist. Big names like Brian Jones, Jack White and Prince all played several instru-ments, giving them a musical edge. Loch Lomond is made up of six such talented people. It is an entire band of multi-instrumentalists. There’s Ritchie Young (vocals, guitar, percussion, violin), Scott Magee (clarinets, percussion, vo-cals), Jade Eckler (percussion, glockenspiel), Dave Depper (bass, guitar, keys, voice), Jason Leonard (vibraphone, guitar, bass, banjo,
percussion, sound treatments) and Johanna Kunin (piano, fl ute). It’s an abundance of talent. Loch Lomond, named for the Scottish lake (the largest in Great Britain, if you were wondering), classify themselves as “indie chamber folk.” The term is apt enough; they use several orchestral instruments, as well as the traditional indie rock accoutrements. It’s similar to anoth-er indie band, Lost In The Trees. Ev-ery member of the band also sings, allowing them to make beautiful choir-esque harmonies. Even with this plethora of instruments, they are still able to make use of silence, allowing the sparse accompaniment to bring out their vocal talent. Loch Lomond’s new album, “Little Me Will Start A Storm,” is arrangement heaven. Each song is gorgeously arranged, though not necessarily with complicated rhythms or insane instrumental so-
los. Every instrument just seems to work together, using harmony and cadence to create one solid work of music. The fi rst track (“Blue Lead Fences”) uses guitar, bass and piz-zicato violin (along with various percussion), making a sound sug-gestive of The Decemberists. Young, the lead vocalist, uses his voice powerfully, not scream-ing but resonating. The next track, “Elephants & Little Girls,” begins with a slightly classical/folk feel, using strings, clarinets and man-dolin for an old-timey feel. Young sings in a light half-falsetto, mak-ing it almost into a lullaby. The sextet shows off their inge-nuity in the instrumental track “Wa-ter Bells.” It begins once again with a folk feel on guitar and mandolin, but now with an ethereal quality through the use of a saw. Yes, a saw, as in a cello bow on the back of a wood cut-ting tool. By no means is it a novel in-strument, but it’s still not something
you hear every day. Through the use of orches-tral instrumentation, indie rock
rhythm and just plain awesome harmonization, Loch Lomond has a lovely sound.

districts around the island have followed in KCC’s eco-friendly foot-steps. Makiki, Mānoa, Kailua and, most recently, Kāne‘ohe have orga-nized weekly farmer’s markets of their own, with much success. KCC’s version remains the largest, and is venerated for its heavy emphasis on locally grown products. All of the food is re-quired by the HFBF to be grown locally, which helps to promote island wide sustainability.
Dale Russel is a regular cus-tomer, and appreciates the warm atmosphere and abundance of sumptuous plate lunches. “I’m from South Dakota, and our farmer’s markets pale in comparison to this one in terms of breadth and scope. The diversity can’t be beat.” Hawai‘i’s growing network of farmer’s markets encourages communal reciprocity on a scale that’s needed now more than ever. Mai e ‘ai (come and eat).

In a productive year and a half at my on-campus job, I made great friends, earned a solid paycheck, and raised nearly $25,000 for various branches of the University of Hawai‘i community. My plans were to continue my work past my expected graduation date in May, but I was “terminated.” Because of a poor attempt to stick up for my peers against disrespect-ful treatment from our “superiors,” I allowed anxiety to do the talking, instead of controlling my emotions and effectively communicating un-happiness in the workplace. Here is the scenario: Our boss left work early and left the su-pervisors in charge, who are UH students like everyone else at the job. The supervisors proceeded to push the limits of one of the child-ish policies — fl ickering the lights fi ve minutes before the conclusion of the workday. These fi ve minutes are for workers to log out, pack up, fi ll out paperwork and clock out. My peers and I are fully capa-ble of reading a clock and retiring from work, but in my fi nal days of work, certain supervisors, with-out reason, held us at work as late as they could. I lost my cool. My fi rst mistake was the volume and tone of my voice. I shouted at the supervisors to fl icker the lights as the clock passed several minutes later than allotted, and I continued to yell as they closed the offi ce door in our faces. Then, for the fi rst time I can remember, they ordered us to wipe our desks and clean. Was I right to feel frustrated? I’ll say “yes” to my grave, but my actions led to more unfortunate surprises. That night, I sent out two Fa-cebook messages. One was to my peers suggesting we attempt to
end the light-f lickering policy. I volunteered to address the entire office on the matter. The second message was a mistake. I wrote the supervisors an apology and asked them to sup-port me in making the change. Possibly fearing revolt, a supervi-sor told our boss about my plans. If I had simply apologized and withheld my agenda, I may have been able to make a change for the better and still work that job today. My fi nal blunder was mistaking my boss for a friend. The morning of my next shift, my boss phoned me and asked that I come in a few minutes early. I entered the offi ce before my shift and my boss asked me to explain my side of the story. My defense was to no avail. My boss told me I had already been “terminated” and handed me my final paycheck. My legs were figuratively cut out from un-der me and my mouth was stapled
shut. I never got the chance to stand up for what was right. Please learn from my mis-takes, but do not keep quiet. Con-trol your emotions and plan stra-tegically because you can make a difference no matter how big or small the issue. If you often feel unhappy and anxious at work, rely on the ones you know you can trust, rise up together and pull the knives out of each other’s backs. This was my fi rst and last be-havioral misconduct, but if your passion is as strong as mine, you may have to go down swinging. Just know that personal and pro-fane attacks are never the way. The workplace may take your job and paycheck away, and termi-nate you as well, but I am taking solace in the fact that they never got their hands on my most valu-able possessions: my voice and my heart. I just wish I had gone about it in a different manner.

The Rainbow baseball team plays top teams during its non-conference schedule, head coach Mike Trapasso wouldn’t have it any other way. “We could easily schedule a non-conference where we start up 25-5, but that’s not doing anybody good,” Trapasso said. “[Easy com-petition is] not why our kids come here to the University of Hawai‘i. They come here to play in a great atmosphere in front of great fans, against great teams.” This year is no different. Last week in its season open-er, No. 30 Hawai‘i went 2-2 against the then-No. 9 Oregon Ducks. This week, the ’Bows will play the No. 7 Texas Longhorns in a three-game series Friday to Sunday. They will also face No. 19 Cal State Fullerton (March 25 to 27) and No. 23 Wichita State (March 30 to April 2). “That’s what our goal was, to have a top-10 non-conference schedule,” Trapasso said. “I’ve had a lot of people tell
me they think I over-scheduled because it ’s a great schedule.” Junior pitcher Matt Sisto said the competition is exciting. “You got all these teams that are perennial College World Series teams, so you get pretty amped up to play these guys,” he said. Trapasso also said playing good teams exposes areas the team needs to improve. “It lets you go to work on those weaknesses immediately and start making adjustments to get better for when you get into conference play,” Trapasso said. Sophomore third baseman Pi‘ikea Kitamura said the team needs to shore up its defense against Oregon. Hawai‘i made 10 fi elding errors. “[The series] defi nitely gave us a good look on where we need to work on things. We made an er-ror in each game, so our defense
— we need to tighten that up,” Kitamura said.
“If we want to win ball games, we need to put a zero under
that error col-umn.” S t i l l ,
Kitamura was encouraged by the team’s split against the Ducks. “[Oregon] showed us that if we play our game the right way, we can hang with just about any team,” he said. For Sisto, playing top-notch opponents also teaches the ’Bows how to battle. “Ever since I’ve been here, we have [had] one of the tough-est schedules,” said Sisto, who struck out three Oregon bat-ters last Friday night. “It ’s good because it ... lets us deal with some adversity in the beginning of the year, so when it comes to the end where we have to win the game in the conference or regional, you’re used to playing the caliber-type of team. In the end, it helps us a lot.” Last season, second baseman Kolten Wong hit a two-run walk-off home run in the 10th inning against Louisiana Tech and sealed UH’s win in their fi rst game of the Western Athletic Conference Tournament. Hawai‘i then went on to win the WAC title and advanced to the regional fi nals of the NCAA Tournament. They were the WAC’s only postseason team
and also had the conference’s top preseason schedule. The same fi ght was evident against Oregon as well. In the two games, the ’Bows rallied to win, despite trailing in the bottom of the ninth inning. “I like for teams to go through adversity early, because it brings them together and it makes them make adjustments that maybe they wouldn’t if they were going along, starting the season 25-5,” Trapasso said.
HOOK ʻEM HORNS Last season, Texas was 50-13 and lost in the NCAA Super Re-gionals. They feature preseason All-American selections senior pitcher Cole Green and junior pitcher Taylor Jungmann. Kitamura said he is excited to play Texas and believes the team can do well against the Long-horns, considering their perfor-mance against the Ducks. “We went out there and beat Oregon with their top two [pitch-ers], so we definitely have the confidence that we can do the
same to Texas,” Kitamura said. “We just need to stick to our plan offen-
sively and we’ll be OK.” Texas is 3-2 on the year. Its team batting average is .274 and its earned run average is 4.19. The team is coming off a single-game 8-7 upset loss to Texas A&M – Corpus Christi. For Hawai‘i, juniors Zach Swasey (.455), David Petersen (.455), Wong (.357) and Collin Bennet (.333) are the only hitters batting over .300. Senior pitcher Blair Walters picked up both of UH’s wins against Oregon out of the bullpen. As a team, Hawai‘i is batting .250 with a 4.11 ERA.
