Tales of the high seas often seem fantastic. But today, re-searchers and explorers are in search of a real monster of the deep – one of our own making. Tim Silverwood, Australian environmentalist, fi lmmaker and photographer, embarked on a Hawai‘i-to-Vancouver trip to fi nd the Great Pacifi c Garbage Patch. In an email interview, Silver-wood explained the history he’s had with environmental degrada-tion of the ocean. “[I] started to understand the impacts our dis-carded waste could have on the

wildlife in the ocean. I started to collect litter off beaches whenever I was there and become genuinely concerned about the amount of trash entering the sea. When I traveled to Indonesia and India in 2007, I witnessed that the problem was global and that so much hu-man consumer plastic waste was entering the ocean. When I came back to Australia, I decided to or-ganize beach cleanups in my area, which led me to collaborating with two local ladies and forming the organization Take 3–A Clean Beach Initiative.” The Take 3 program involves everyone willing to help. People participate by picking up three

pieces of trash or debris when-ever they visit the beach. For his most recent adven-ture, Silverwood and a team of artists, filmmakers, environmen-talists, divers, and Ph.D. students set sail from Honolulu in early July for a three-week expedition searching for the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. The research was led by Mar-cus Eriksen, director of research and education with Algalita Ma-rine Research Foundation and co-founder of the 5 Gyres Institute. Oceanographer Nikolai Maxi-menko of the International Pacifi c Research Centre at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa developed

the route using a computer model. It is a myth that there are fl oat-ing islands of trash on the Pacifi c surface. Silverwood described the state of the piles as being more like soup, because the trash doesn’t al-ways fl oat. Instead, some descends into the water column, making clean up more diffi cult. “We need to accept that we can no longer treat the ocean like a dumping ground and not expect it to react. We have abused this vast resource for too long, and I really think it ’s time for us to start giving a little bit back,” said Silverwood.

Tim Silverwood, a passionate surfer and environmental-ist, embarked on a voyage in July sailing across the Pacifi c Ocean from Honolulu to Vancouver, re-searching fl oat-ing plastics in the North Pacifi c Gyre in search of the Great Pacifi c Garbage Patch.

The Islamic Society at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa will be hosting its third annual celebration of Islam Day in the Campus Center Ballroom today. Created in 2009 by Hawai‘i law-makers, Islam Day functions to spread awareness of Islam and Muslim communities in Hawai‘i. Hana Omar, a student at UH earning her Ph.D. in educational technology, commented that she had hopes of “bringing Muslims and non-Muslims together” through this event. Omar expressed gratitude for the Islam Day celebration, saying, “Here in Hawai‘i, not many people know about Islam, even though there are about 4,000 Muslims who currently live in Hawai‘i.” Omar was born in Saudi Ara-bia and moved to Hawai‘i in 2008. “I like the community in Hawai‘i because they are so receptive. Hawai‘i is a good community with a sense of ‘Aloha,’” she said. Other Muslims in Hawai‘i,

like Azeema Faizunnisa, a Ph.D. student in sociology, have a dif-ferent take on the issue. Faizun-nisa came to Hawai‘i in 2005 from Pakistan. “I had a very different lifestyle. My parents died when I was very young. Being a Muslim was not important for me. I just wanted to learn about Hawai‘i, do well in school, and make friends.” Upon the 2009 approval of a statewide Islam Day in Hawai‘i, there was a mixed reaction from citizens. While some were sup-portive, others were opposed to the decision. These mixed re-actions, however, did not deter Faizunnisa’s faith in Islam and herself as a Muslim in Hawai‘i. “I am proud that I can focus on the negative that there was a number of people who were so opposed to this, yet also see the positive that so many non-Mus-lims supported this idea.” Today’s event is geared to-ward bringing all UH students together to enjoy a stimulating discussion and develop a better understanding of Muslims in the

21st century. Omar wanted to make clear “that there is, indeed, a strong difference between Mus-lims and terrorists.” Along with a chance to gain a new perspective on Islam, the event will also be an opportunity for students to have a taste of the culture through the mini potluck provided by the club. All stu-dents, staff and faculty are wel-come to attend and experience an inside perspective of Islam in Hawai‘i. Faizunnisa said, “As a human being, religion is not just spirituality; it is a social and cul-tural fulfillment in one’s life.” The event will run from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and will include a panel discussion about Muslims after the events of 9/11 starting at 10 a.m. There will be a one-hour break at noon for prayer, and the festivities will continue at 1 p.m. with an as-sortment of various foods provided by the Islamic Society. To close out the Islam Day celebration, there will be a viewing from 2-4 p.m. of a documentary on being Muslim in the 21st century.

The North Pacifi c Gyre’s Great Pacifi c Garbage Patch has been de-scribed as close to twice the size of the United States, but on this voyage the object of study was a more com-pact gyre, closer to the size of Texas.

IMPACT ON HAWAIʻ I Because Hawai‘i is surrounded by ocean, it is particularly affected by ocean debris. “Once in a while, a part of the garbage patch starts moving towards Hawai‘i, and some of its plastic ends up on windward Hawaiian beaches. ... Ultimately, Hawai‘i is then the fi nal destination of all fl oating marine debris in the North Pacifi c,” wrote Jan Hafner, a collaborator of Maximenko who works for the IPRC, in an email.

“Hawai‘i gets a lot [of trash],” confi rmed Brandon Hicks, an en-vironmental studies student at the oceanography department. Debris, including rope and old fi sh cages, washes up on Hawai‘i beaches after fl oating for years. An article by Silverwood featured on ABC Science’s website describes a cleanup on Kamilo Beach on the southern tip of the Big Island. “Nothing could have prepared me for my fi rst encounter with Ka-milo Beach. I had my video camera out and was excitedly fi lming the beach when suddenly I stopped and truly digested what I was wit-nessing. The presence of the plas-tic sand [plastic particles] was hor-rifi c,” explained Silverwood.

He continued, “To think that Kamilo is just one of many beach-es in the Hawaiian island chain experiencing this constant bar-rage is terrifying.” “It is impossible to stop pro-duction and use of plastic, [but] what we all can do is just to bet-ter manage its use and disposal,” wrote Hafner. “I encourage everyone to re-think their relationship with plas-tic – especially single-use dispos-able items that we can easily do without,” said Silverwood. “We’ve been fed this idea that we can use as much plastic as we want and just throw it away because it ’s disposable. Especially in Hawai‘i, this is a terrible attitude to have.”

Hawai‘i transports up to 40 billion barrels of oil every year despite its unique possibilities for renewable energy, and 90 percent of electricity generated in the islands comes from fossil fuels. But this weekend, in an effort to promote a clean energy future with less dependency on imported fossil fuels, Moving Planet Waikīkī is taking to the streets. As part of a worldwide movement, the rally is demand-ing solutions to the current cli-mate crisis and safer bike lanes in Hawai‘i to encourage zero-carbon-footprint transportation. “Many of the activities we do every day, like turn the lights on, cook food or cool our homes, rely on the combustion of fossil fuels like coal and oil, which emit car-bon dioxide and other heat-trap-ping gases when burned. This is a major problem because global warming destabilizes the delicate balance that makes life on this planet possible,“ wrote Moving Planet Waikīkī coordina-tor Robyn Petterson in an email, concerning the need to minimize carbon dioxide effects. Petterson, a Univer-sity of Hawai‘i at

Mānoa senior and mother of two, is coordinating the Waikīkī move-ment, which will take place tomor-row. Moving Planet Waikīkī will be joining the Aloha Festivals Flo-ral Parade by marching, biking, strolling and skating to encourage the O‘ahu Bike Plan, which focus-es on enabling sustainable trans-portation and establishing safer bicycle lanes. “The O‘ahu Bike Plan is a successful design and could be an example for the other islands, yet it still isn’t completely fund-ed. Policy needs to change to pri-oritize funding for smart design, and enable those who are trying to make a difference to actually do so. [It is] time to consider the future,” wrote Petterson. Other Moving Planet events are being organized worldwide by 350.org, an online grass-

roots environmental organization founded by Bill McKibben. On Saturday, there will also be a Mov-ing Planet climate justice march in Kenya and a Moving Planet relay in India, among others in 181 par-ticipating countries. Past events noted by 350.org ranged from “ski-ers descending a melting glacier to divers hosting an underwater ac-tion.” The number 350 refers to the parts per million of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere considered safe. The planet is currently at 391ppm. By implementing green transpor-tation around the globe, 350 hopes to reduce this to safe levels. “My personal feeling is that if we are going to change our hab-its, reduce our dependency on fossil fuels, we need the support of the local government to enable the shift. I need to know that there is a medium of safety while I ride my bicycle from point A to point B, especially with two little boys riding behind me in their bike trailer,” wrote Petterson when asked why she felt strongly about this movement. Students and the public can participate in Moving Planet Waikīkī by meeting before 9 a.m. at the Ewa end of Ala Moana Beach Park. Moving Planet will be the tail unit of the parade, ending at noon at Kapi‘olani Park. The community can join this section of the Parade at any time. For more information and

SEPT. 18: INAPPROPRIATE GESTURES Campus Security responded to a call at Sinclair Library at 9:03 p.m. about a male following a female stu-dent around while making lewd ges-tures. CS offi cers also spoke with a

library employee who told them a similar incident had occurred sev-eral weeks earlier. The employee identifi ed a photo of a suspect that had been previously noted in July 2009 for a similar offense. Both in-cidents involved a male non-student making masturbatory motions with his hands near his crotch.

SEPT. 16: SUIC IDE INTER-VENTION CS and the Honolulu Po-

lice Department assisted a UH Mānoa employee in dealing with a former employee who is also a UH Mānoa male student. The student had told the employee that he was going to commit suicide in front of a different UH Mānoa employee that the ex-student blamed for his unem-ployment. HPD was notified and an officer was sent to check up on the man, who was later taken into custody and transported to

Queens Medical Center for men-tal health observation.

SEPT. 12: ʻGIVE ME MY F - - - ING MONEY!ʼ A male student was as-saulted by another male student near the Hale Noelani basket-ball court at 12:51 p.m. The victim and assailant knew each other. The assailant accused the victim of stealing $14 from

his apartment and then report-edly punched the victim until he fell to the ground, where the assailant then began to kick and continue to punch the victim. A friend of the victim gave the as-sailant $10 to stop attacking the victim. The assailant reportedly took the $10 and the victim’s watch, valued at about $15. A resident of Hale Noelani reports he heard the assailant shouting, “Give me my f- - -ing money!”

The University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa is hop-

ing to continue the tradition of jazz by hosting the Mānoa

Jazz and Heritage Festival this Saturday from

5:30 to 10 p.m. at

A n -

drews Amphitheatre. Four years ago, the Hawai‘i International Jazz Festival, held in Waikīkī since 1993, was canceled in memoriam of its founder Abe Weinstein, a local jazz musician. “The community was miss-ing an ongoing festival featuring jazz music since the demise of the [Hawai‘i] International Jazz Fes-tival,” said Tim Slaughter, Com-munity Service Director at the UH Mānoa Outreach College. So in 2008, the Outreach Col-lege invited Devin Phillips and New Orleans Straight Ahead to headline the first ever Mānoa Jazz and Heritage Festival. In 2009, they brought in the Hot 8

Brass Band, and brought Larry Carlton in 2010 to continue

the tradition. “Meeting com-

munity needs is one of the goals of our

program and our col-

lege,” Slaughter said. “We felt we could help fi ll that need.” Thanks to their efforts, the Mānoa Jazz and Heritage Festival is back in swing this year, head-lined by Bill Cunliffe and his trio, the Dean Taba Quintet and the University of Hawai‘i Jazz Ensem-ble led by Reginald Padilla.

STUDENT OUTREACH “Jazz has, in recent years, looked to the university for its survival and f lourishing,” said Cunliffe, a Grammy award win-ner and two-time Emmy nomi-nated jazz pianist. Due to its size, prestige and formal position in the commu-nity, the university has certain special abilities that other orga-nizations would not have in pro-moting this festival. The Outreach College ac-knowledges its ability to attract a wide audience, ranging from students and faculty from the mu-sic department to other segments of the community, including high school students, visitors to Hawai‘i, and jazz and music fans in general. However, in the interest of stu-dents, who have some of the most intimate ties with the university, Slaughter emphasizes the impor-tance of keeping it nearby. “Attracting students is always an important goal of the festival,” he said. “We think the on-campus venues make the festival attrac-tive to local students.” Another advantage for hold-ing the festival on campus is the increased interaction with stu-dent musicians. Besides sharing the venue with students in the University Jazz Ensemble, Cun-lif fe will be offering a workshop related to jazz performance for college students.

PRESERVING HERITAGE In addition to being a perfor-mance and workshop venue, the festival was also established to celebrate the tradition and heri-tage of jazz. “Some well-known jazz musi-cians have come from Hawai‘i,” Cunliffe said, naming artists Gabe Baltazar, Trummy Young and Henry Allen. However, these jazz artists are not as well-known in Hawai‘i as artists of other musical genres. For most students, jazz is not the preferred style to listen to or play in, and for most of the communi-ty, this also rings true. Since Hawai‘i is home to a fl ourishing musical and arts cul-ture, the Mānoa Jazz and Heritage Festival hopes to make the genre a part of the local community. “I was in Honolulu last year, and was so pleasantly surprised at the interest in indigenous Ha-waiian music,” Cunliffe said. “It ’s one of the great treasures that Hawai‘i has, and I’m grateful that you can hear it everywhere. I wish the same for jazz.”

“It ’s not shave ice ... it ’s not ice-cream ... it ’s not frozen yogurt ... it ’s snow!” reads Snow Fac-tory’s slogan. Seriously though, what is this stuff? At first glance, it appears to be some distant relative of tradi-tional shave ice, but its website says otherwise. “The best way to describe snow ice would be a frozen cotton candy ... it ’s made with fruit juice bases mixed with milk. Then we slice the frozen block into thin layers, creating a delicious and aesthetically pleas-ing dessert,” the website reads. The fi nal product’s appearance is intriguing, and elicits a variety of comments from customers waiting in line. “The choco-late one looks like kalua pork,” said Jan Shima-bukuro. “The vanilla one looks like cot-ton,” said Mahea Cambra. It feels s i m u l t a -neously a i r y , f laky

and cold in the mouth. The cot-tony sensation dissolves into its natural ice cream state the mo-ment it hits your tounge. Make sure to eat it quickly, because the snow melts and turns into ice cream soup out in the sun. But then again, it isn’t too bad to end up with ice cream soup. Snow Factory offers all the usual fl avors, and a handful of unusual fl avors including milk, li hing mui and azuki. Customers get the choice of two fl avors in a regular combo serving. Milk and coffee is a classic combo, espe-cially if you grab a latte from Cof-fee or Tea?, which is just a couple stores down, to en-joy with it.

Toppings include condensed milk, jellies and fruit pops (fruit-f lavored spheres that pop in your mouth). The current location at Mc-Cully Shopping Center has a modern igloo-like environment with music videos playing in the background. The store is con-sistently packed, so anticipate a wait.

You probably don’t expect to encounter anything of cultural value in a nightclub downtown. The best you can usually hope for are a few drinks, some en-joyable moments with friends, a chance encounter with an attrac-tive stranger, and perhaps some agreeable music (although in this town, finding good music is a real long shot). But tonight, we just might be given the chance to raise our expectations a bit at the Hawai‘i premiere of “Bouncing Cats.” Look up the trailer on YouTube – you know you want to. It ’s an intriguing documentary about the power of street dance and its impact on the youth of war-torn Uganda. Tyler “Funky-t” Tuia-sosopo, a dancer and University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa kinesiology major, remarked that “‘Bouncing Cats’ shows the hope-bringing power of Hip Hop.” Street dances such as pop-ping, locking and b-boying have enjoyed newfound popular-ity in mainstream culture lately. Spurred on by such shows as “America’s Best Dance Crew” and “So You Think You Can Dance?” many a fl edgling dancer has dedicated his or herself to learning dance styles that were, up until just recently, removed from the public eye. This is, of course, a great boon to people who have already dedicated decades of their lives to mastering and teaching street styles. Yet there is also the risk of losing touch with the cultural context in which the styles were born. Seeing street dance on the stage can be good, but some believe that its greatest value is how it resonates with those who are in need and those who face hardships they may not know how to surmount. Time and time again, street dance has uplifted the dancer

by luring him or her away from the negative and pushing him or her towards the positive. The body becomes the instrument with which the dancer creates, so the dancer begins to take care of it more. The world around the dancer inspires him or her to create, so the dancer shows gratitude in return. Having a rough day? Dance the night away and tell me your problems don’t feel less-ened.

Thes i m p l e truth is that to dance is as much a part of human nature as it is to eat, laugh or cry. Once, when dancing was born, this might have been the most common of knowl-edge. But today, we seem to dance less and less, despite our obvious long-ing to do so. Mod-ern life often stifl es our innate, beautiful desires for the sake of frugality or sensibility. So tonight, even if it’s just this once, I’d like you to buck that trend by taking a seat at the pre-miere of “Bouncing Cats” to fi nd out if there is a place within you where dance still resonates. All UH students can get half off at the door – a mere fi ve bucks total – to make it easier on all of us. There should be plenty of good vibes and serious dancers in attendance to

Dance values in ‘Bouncing Cats’Dance values in ‘Bouncing Cats’

keep the night exciting. The premiere will be held at Nextdoor, one of the few night-clubs that seems to be serious about supporting the arts, so by all means lend them your patron-age whenever you see fit. Doors open at 9 p.m. and the movie should start around 10:30 p.m., so don’t be late.

In honor of Con-stitution Day on Sept. 17 and Peace Day on Sept. 21, the Spark M. Matsunaga In-stitute for Peace & Confl ict Reso-lution at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa sponsored the talk “Is Climate Change a Threat to World Peace?” It was presented by Max-ine Burkett, associate professor of law and director at the Center for Island Climate Adaptation and Policy. The presentation took place on Tuesday, Sept. 20, at the William S. Richardson School of Law, and aimed to discuss current issues involving a global climate crisis and its geopolitical effects. Burkett addressed the under-lying threat global peace is facing today due to climate change and its repercussions. This includes devas-tating fl oods, typhoons, droughts, and dying coral and sea life infra-structures, which are causing de-veloping nations to cry for help. Ac-cording to Burkett, more scientists than ever before are stepping up to confi rm the correlation between ex-cessive greenhouse gas emissions and global climate change. While many regions are cur-rently experiencing confl ict that is directly or indirectly related to the effects of climate change, a great deal more – including devel-oping countries, deltas and low-lying regions such as the Pacifi c region – will inevitably have to face serious decisions in the near future about how to respond to cli-mate crises and the related politi-cal, social and economic impacts. The presentation stated that countries that are already more vulnerable to climate change crises face the most diffi cult dilemmas, in-cluding displacement of the popula-

tion d u e to ris-ing sea levels. Cli-mate-induced migration is esti-mated to reach 250 million or more by 2050. If rising sea levels cause inhabitants of low-lying regions to migrate, where will they go? How will they be treated in their new locations, and how will they continue to maintain indepen-dence as a nation? The speakers also addressed the issue of responsibility. While North America and China are the world leaders in greenhouse gas emissions, they are experiencing the least impacts from it. Many want to know how they will be held ac-countable, and what these nations will do to improve the situation. While climate change may seem to have mostly geographical im-pacts, the political and civil confl icts associated with it carry as heavy a burden. Burkett stated that for de-veloping countries, the risk for vio-lent confl ict associated with climate change is greater, and the advance-ments gained toward reducing pov-erty are being lost to the problems gained from climate change. Water scarcity, which has been linked to drought and climate change, has al-

ready led to

c o n f l i c t between India

and Pakistan. Water scarcity is expected to affect hun-dreds of millions more globally, and could possibly lead to civil wars. Studies have also shown that coun-tries affected by temperature rises from El Nino are more likely to ex-perience wars. As with many critical issues presented for debate and action, the presentation and its arguments raised as many questions as it an-swered. While the concluding argu-ment asserted that now is the time to place all of our focus into fi nding just solutions for the threat to world peace, the exact methods for how to do so remain slightly obscured. Raising awareness is a crucial component of sociopolitical change, but without the actions of individuals it is not enough to evoke real change. As students, our knowledge-based participation in the up-coming election can serve as a vessel for positive change, and the decision to seek information on how to take positive action lo-cally as well as globally is an es-sential endeavor.

The moments after sex are often more awkward than the pre-lude or the act itself. For many, testosterone levels have pla-teaued, passion has disappeared, and you are stuck with a person – whom you’ve possibly never met, or whom you’ve liked for months but just managed to get in bed. So what to do next? In any situation, the actions that follow the play say more than words could ever hope to state. But staying doesn’t mean you care, and leaving doesn’t mean you don’t care. Instead, it ’s like your mother used to say: “It ’s not what you say, but how you say it.” Similarly, it ’s not what you do, but how you do it. The fi rst option: leave. If it

isn’t your place, the polite thing may be to offer to leave and see how your partner responds. If it is your place, you can ask him or her to leave, which might cause him or her to endure the infamous walk of shame. A more heartfelt approach is to make up a white lie and say one of the following: “I have work really early in the morning,” “I kick in my sleep,” or, if desperate, “I just can’t cuddle yet, I’m still in love with my ex.” A more careless move is to roll over and go to bed, leaving your partner to make the choice for him or herself – and therefore also forcing him or her to secure a way home. The second option: stay. If you stay, the subsequent mo-ments say a lot about how you feel about the person. Whether people like to admit it or not, ev-

eryone has the ability to enjoy a good cuddle. But some won’t do it for anything less than love. People who say “I just don’t like to cuddle” are basically saying “I just don’t want to cuddle with you.” If you are the one staying at someone else’s house, you could always pull the renowned “crash and dash,” wherein you stay only because you’re too tired to move, and then leave as soon as you get a waking chance. Whatever you decide to do, know that the only way to really say “I care about you” is to show affection in the morning or days that follow, demonstrating that even after the magic (or in some cases, alcohol) has dissipated, your care for him or her hasn’t.

Historically, Division I-A A schools have had about as much success against their Divi-sion I counterparts as somebody who tries to predict earthquakes by listening carefully. Football Bowl Subdivision programs have posted a .815 winning percentage over their low-er-level opponents. Pair that with the University of Hawai‘i’s 18-1 record over FCS teams and Sat-urday’s matchup with UC Davis sounds easier than fi nding a neon sign in Las Vegas – right? Actually, there is evidence to suggest oth-erwise. For example, look at the precedents set by Duke and Oregon State, who, in week one, fell to Richmond and Sacramento State, respec-tively. Furthering the case fo FBS’s little broth-ers are the seven upsets they pulled off. Adding to the threat is that UC Davis has become one of the more successful underdogs in Division 1-A A football by winning a fourth of its matchups with opponents from a higher division. Since 2005, the Aggies have not only upset the Stanford Cardinal, but also UH’s fel-low WAC member San Jose State. “Although they’re [Division] I-AA, they

can come out fi ring,” senior linebacker Corey Paredes said. “They’ve got good schemes, good players, and they can put up points.” Not helping the situation is the Warriors’ recent two-game skid. A tough loss against a 2-1 Washington team was quickly forgotten. However, a 40-20 loss against UNLV has stirred up a tidal wave of panic in the Warrior fan base. Senior quarterback Bryant Moniz addressed these worries. “It’s always tough to have a loss, but I guess you say you always learn more from a loss than you do from a win, so we took a long look at the fi lm and learned a lot of things from this game,” Moniz said. Prior to their matchup with UH, the Rebels were 0 -2, had been outscored 110-24, and were a popular candidate for worst team in the FBS. Warrior Nation expected its team to waltz into Las Vegas and be handed a win. Instead, UNLV showed up and played. Moniz communicated the signifi cance of this week’s matchup. “It ’s tough to deal with losses, but we got to bounce back from it. Really, it ’s going to show what kind of team we are,” Moniz said. With home-fi eld advantage and a lower-level opponent this week, it may appear that UH has won this game before the referee has even fl ipped the coin. But the Warriors have seen this scene before, and must prepare themselves if they want to avoid a sequel.

Back-to-back road games don’t seem to suit the Warrior football team. Hawai‘i put up a fi ght against Washington two weeks ago, losing 40-32, but struggled against UNLV last weekend, falling 40-20. This has been the third-straight season that the Warriors have dropped the sec-ond of their back-to-back road games. “At Washington we started slow and fi nished strong, and against UNLV they showed up to play and we didn’t,” said senior safety Richard Torres. “Overall, we just need to play through all four quarters of a game.” Senior linebacker Aaron Brown agreed. “There were some times where we performed well, and some times where we just didn’t perform,” said Brown.

ON FAMILIAR GROUND Hawai‘i (1-2) hopes playing in Aloha Stadium will turn its young season around.

The Warriors will host the UC Davis Aggies (1-2), out of the Great West conference of the Football Championship Sub-division, on Saturday at 6 p.m. at Aloha Stadium. All University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa students get in free with a validated ID. This will be the fi rst meet-ing between Hawai‘i and UC Da-vis. UC Davis got its fi rst win of the season last weekend in a 31-3 blowout against San Diego. If the Warriors want to turn things around, this may be the week. Hawai‘i won its last nine games against FCS opponents, dating back to 2001. Since head coach Greg McMackin took charge, the War-riors have been 3-0 against the FCS, most recently defeating Charleston Southern last season 66-7. The Aggies rank fi rst in the FCS in interceptions with six, and fourth in turnover margin with two. This could be a concern for the run-and-shoot offense. The Warriors acknowledged that this game is very important to them, despite UC Davis’ lower

status as an FCS-level school. “We can’t come out and be com-placent,” said Brown. “They’re going to come in here extremely hungry, but we have a chip on our shoulder. We’ve lost two games. We have ev-erything to lose in this game, and they have everything to gain. We just need to buckle down and do our job.” Torres agreed that the team has to go out and execute against the Aggies. “We need to get lined up and make sure we all do our assign-ments. We just need to be really dis-ciplined in this game,” said Torres. However, Torres noted that while this may be a trying time for the team, coming off two loss-es, it ’s important for the Warriors to remain strong and united. “We have to stick together when things get tough, because things don’t always go our way,” said Torres. Brown said that the team will be ready. “Every day we come out here to practice and get better,” said Brown. “Hopefully, come Satur-day we’ll come out with a ‘W.’”

When most of the NCAA’s football players take the fi eld, they represent their families, their schools, even their cities – but the University of Hawai‘i players rep-resent a much bigger set. The Warriors know that be-ing the only football team for 2,400 miles means they symbol-ize not just the spirit of Hawai‘i, but the entire Pacific. For defensive linemen Paipai Falemalu, Vaughn Meatoga and Kaniela Tuipulotu, the term “Protect This House” takes on a quite literal meaning. “We represent the whole state, not just O‘ahu,” said Tuipu-lotu. “Every time we step on the fi eld it ’s a challenge to represent for everybody [on all the islands].” Hailing from O‘ahu, Kaua‘i and Maui respec-tively, Falemalu, Mea-toga and Tuipulotu all share the distinction of being local boys who grew up to play football for their homeland. “We’re real proud people out here,” said

Falemalu. “We’re proud to be from Hawai‘i – we’re proud to play for this island and all the other is-lands out there.” For the past three years, the Warriors have held a spring scrimmage on a neighboring island. They are always well received, with over 1,000 fans showing support on Maui, Kaua‘i, and the Big Island. “Usually, if you go to any other state, they have profes-sional teams, [but] out here we’re the main attraction,” said Falemalu. Even as a child,

Meatoga knew he wanted to don the green and black. But he was also drawn to UH by the War-riors’ aggressive attitude. “Growing up watching foot-ball here, the fi rst game I went to, Hawai‘i got into a huge fi ght,” said Meatoga. “That’s the picture that was painted in my mind: [that] Hawai‘i’s a tough place. That kind of

just stuck with me. This is where I’ve wanted to play forever.” That tough mentality is exem-plifi ed in the Warriors’ pregame ritual, the Haka. Led by Falem-alu, the ‘Bows use the Māori chant to ignite the crowd and intimidate their opponents.

WINNING TRADIT ION All three linemen start-ed every game for the

Warriors this season – Meatoga at left tackle, Tuipulotu at right tack-le and Falemalu at right end. The Hawai‘i defensive line-men have a history of winning, even before last year’s Western Athletic Conference champion-ship. Meatoga was on the 2004 Kamehameha Schools–Kapalama state championship team, as well as the 2007 undefeated regular season Sugar Bowl squad. Tuipu-lotu and Falemalu both won back-to-back state championships at perennial powerhouse Kahuku. Despite having so many play-ers from rival high schools, the

Warriors have a harmoni-ous relationship on the field and in the locker room. They find com-mon ground in know-

ing they now de-fend the islands together. “We weren’t friends in high school, but we respected each other because of what we did on the fi eld,” said Tuipulotu.

“That gave us a common bond when we came here. We just gelled together like we were friends since our childhood days.”

EARNING RESPECT Hawai‘i typically gets less recognition on a national scale than teams from the mainland. Given that most home games for UH don’t begin until midnight on the east coast, the Warriors have to make quite a splash to be men-tioned on SportsCenter. For UH football to be men-tioned with the nation’s elite de-fenses is an achievement. Last season, the Warriors recorded the most takeaways in the NCA A with 38, a tribute to their feroc-ity on the field. This season, the Hawai‘i de-fensive line is out to prove that it is one of the best units in the country. Through the first three weeks of this college football sea-son, the Warrior defense has the fourth most sacks in the NCAA. “It says a lot about our coach-ing, a lot about our schemes – we’re not even playing at our best and we are getting all these sacks,” said Meatoga. “I’m curious to see what it’s like when we’re clicking and playing at our best.”
