Women’s volleyball wins 2 of 3 Falcons as the tables turned, being swept in three consecutive sets, 25-11, 25-17, and 25-22. The Seasiders hit just .097 in the match. Tyler Finlayson, a freshman from Utah, expressed his disappointment in the loss. “I was hoping for another win for us and am sad that we had to go down in three. However, I am proud of our girls for fighting hard... I am sure we’ll come back in the next game fighting hard for the win!” The team will kick off Pac West Conference play Saturday, Sept. 18 against UH-Hilo.

HONOR CODE :ASK AND YE SHALL RECE IVEMatthew 7:7 gives us clear guidelines when it comes to seeking guidance and direction from the Lord. Ask and ye shall receive. Too often we sit silently on the side walk waiting for questions to be answered, yet we never ask the questions. Too often we blindly fol-low leaders’ direction. We have been instructed as mem-

enjoyable learning environment. We want your support and your enthusiasm to live and abide by the honor code. So, this space will be used for an “ASK THE HONOR CODE” column. If you have questions please submit them to studenthonors@gmail.com and you will see the answers appear in the next issue of Ke Alaka‘i. Questions will be completely anony-mous.

A newly formed Sustainability Task Force hopes to weave “sustainability into the fabric of our campus culture to the extent that students, faculty, staff and the community use the term sustainable as an adjective to describe their identity as a BYUH Seasider,” said Rob Lechtenberg, assistant director for Residential Life.

SUSTA INAB I L I TY I SSUE ADDRESSED BY CAMPUS

The task force includes representa-tives from BYUHSA, Ke Alaka‘i, the Biology Department, Housing, and Food Services. The Sustainability Task Force has held several meetings since its inception in August and has discussed goals such as increasing its number of representatives, in-creasing student sustainability awareness, and the possibility of an “Energy Saving Competi-tion”. It has also focused on housekeep-ing issues such as deciding what department the force will fall under, how to gain student support, promoting the campus soap “Sea-

sider Shine”, obtaining a booth at the Kite Festival on Sept. 25, and creating the task force logo. Chad Janrikeson, a junior in busi-ness from California who represents Food Services on the task force said, “BYUH is not as sustainable as other universities.” He hopes to help encourage students campus-wide to be more conscious of the sustainabil-ity issue. Those interested in becoming more involved with the sustainability effort should contact Rob Lechtenberg for more informa-tion, though current members have expressed a desire to keep it “a dedicated team.” Students can do their part, how-ever, by being more aware of their biological footprint. Students living in dorm housing could be more energy efficient by simply turning off lights and fans before leaving the room. If more students and staff made a simple effort to be more energy conscious, the school could vastly increase its sustain-
