UH Mānoa, UC Berkeley researchers map DNA’s fi rst chemical bonds

Researchers from the University of Hawai‘ i and the University of California, Berkeley, have recreated conditions that could have formed the fi rst chemical bonds of DNA.

Scientists from U.S. Department of Energy’s Law-rence Berkeley National Lab (Berkeley Lab) and the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa have published a paper that cosmic hot spots, such as those near stars, could be environments for the creation of nitrogen-containing molecular rings, key compo-nents for the building blocks of DNA.

“This is the fi rst time anyone’s looked at a hot reac-tion like this,” said Musahid Ahmed, scientist in the Chemical Sciences Division at Berkeley Lab.

To recreate these cosmic hot spots, Ahmed, UH Mānoa professor of chemistry Ralf Kaiser and their team of colleagues used a device called a hot nozzle to simulate the pressures and temperatures in stellar environments of carbon-rich stars.

The team discovered that gas fi rst used in the hot noz-zle transformed “into one made of the nitrogen-contain-ing ring molecules called quinolone and isoquinoline, considered the next step up in terms of complexity.”

Kaiser said the experiments provide evidence that the key molecules of quinolone and isoquinoline can be synthesized in these hot environments and then be ejected with the stellar wind to the inter-stellar medium – the space between stars.

“Once ejected in space, in cold molecular clouds, these molecules can then condense on cold interstellar nanoparticles, where they can be processed and func-tionalized.” Kaiser said. “These processes might lead to more complex, biorelevant molecules such as nucleo-bases of crucial importance to DNA and RNA formation.”

Preparing for a new budget model

Starting in a couple of months, the campus will allo-cate tuition to the colleges and schools based partly on the number of students they teach, the campus vice chancellor for academic affairs said May 5.

Reed Dasenbrock spoke during the campus-wide con-versation led by Chancellor Robert Bley-Vroman. The focus was on how the campus will move forward given its current fi scal situation.

State funding for higher education has decreased dramatically since 2009, Bley-Vroman said, leaving the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa campus with a $60 mil-lion decrease.

“We were not particularly quick to adapt to this new reality,” he said during the conversation.

Bley-Vroman said that campus committee that has worked on researching and selecting a new budget allocation model has agreed on an interim model in less than a year.

“For us, it’s actually a radical change. It really is a huge difference,” he said. “It develops a philosophy of where tuition is, it’s not a simple matter, but tuition is being returned in some way that’s proportional to where those students are.”

In addition, Dasenbrock said, the committee has also agreed on a phase one model, which the interim one would transition into, possibly in 2016. 

According to Bley-Vroman, the campus is not expect-ing a big increase in state funding.

“We certainly did not succeed in getting tremen-dous increase this year in legislature,” he said. “So I think it would be unrealistic to assume that that’s going to increase.”

The result of decreased state and public funding, according to Bley-Vroman, is that the campus has tens of millions of dollars less than it used to have to spend. 

“The idea has been to try to reign in spending enough so that things are relatively stable over the next couple of years so we don’t have to worry about going broke tomorrow and to use that period to begin the diffi cult task of reassessing where we are and where have to go in the future,” he said.

He hopes that things will be more stable next year, giving the campus more time to think. But, that depends on two things: radically reigning in expenses and the current fi ve-year tuition schedule not being completely reversed.

He said conversations need to happen.“I will say that however we move forward, there are

couple prerequisites: one is that faculty have to be clearly involved. The other is that ... most of those deci-sions are at least partly determined by the fi elds in ques-tion,” Bley-Vroman said. 

Graduate students open scholarly articles to everyone

Scholarly articles written by graduate students on cam-pus are now available to anyone worldwide.

According to a UH news release, the Graduate Stu-dent Organization (GSO) voted on April 23 to include the existing faculty Open Access policy, which would require students to make their articles available through the campus online repository ScholarSpace. 

GSO students worked with Hamilton Library to make this happen. 

“With the passing of this policy, UHM graduate stu-dents will now have free and open access to their work forever,” Heather Frey, GSO executive commit-tee council chairwoman said, in the news release. “Often times graduate students are so consumed with getting their work published they do not consider the rights they are giving away. ScholarSpace will help protect graduate student’s rights to access their work even after it is published.”

Campus faculty committed to making their research and scholarly works available in 2010.

BIANCA SMALLWOODSENIOR STAFF WRITER

The Hawai‘ i Legislature has banned the sale and use of pow-dered alcohol, or Palcohol, with the passing of House Bill (HB) 348.

According to developer Lipsmark LLC’s website, Palcohol was created by Mark Phillips and is a powder form of alcohol in which the con-sumer can mix the substance with water to make a beverage. The site goes on to say that when used as directed, the mixture is the equiva-lent to a regular mixed drink.

HB 348’s companion Senate Bill 550 was introduced by Senators Glen Wakai, Lorraine Inouye, Gil Riv-iere, Sam Slom and Brian Taniguchi.

The bills state that no person can consume, purchase or sell pow-dered alcohol in the state. If any-

one were caught with powdered alcohol, they would be found guilty of a misdemeanor.

Testimony in favor of the bill’s

passing cited concerns of use by youth, perhaps in capsule form or through insuffl ation.

ALCOHOL ON CAMPUSWhile the legislature wants to

ban the mixture before it gets to Hawai‘ i, people such as Sarah Rice, Department of Public Safety com-munity programs manager said in a phone interview that although

she was not aware of the ban or the product, her department sup-ports any law passed by the state.

Rice added that while there have

been alcohol-based offenses at UH Mānoa, powdered alcohol has not been an issue.

“We had one underage drink-ing offense in 2014 at [the] Stan Sherriff Center and so far this year we’ve had one underage drink-ing offense at the baseball fi eld during a game,” Rice said. “Other-wise we’ve had no other reported alcohol offenses.”

UH Mānoa Student Housing Direc-tor Michael Kaptik said in an email interview that while there have been no powdered alcohol related instanced on campus that they are aware of, if students were to be caught with the product, the reper-cussions would be the same as if it were a regular alcohol product.

Rice also said that she thinks the substance would be hard to trace if it were ever used by a student.

“If someone was using pow-dered alcohol … it would be so hard to know,” Rice said. “We don’t know what it smells like, I imagine it’s dif-ferent in some ways, who knows what those ways are but you can usually tell when someone has alcohol.”

ACROSS THE NATIONWhile other states such as

Alaska, Delaware, Louisiana, South

Carolina and Vermont have already moved to ban Palcohol from being used and distributed, the company states on their website that theyfeel that state legislators are lim-iting the people and businesseswho want the product’s freedom of choice. They also said that the banis not about public safety as thelegislatures claim it to be because if it were, liquid alcohol would be banned as well.

Some concerns that state Legis-latures have is that people may use it in other ways such as snorting the powder or combining it with other alcoholic products causing people’s health and safety to be at risk. They are also concerned that it may affect restaurant and bar businesses.

Hawai‘ i moves to ban powdered alcohol

ANDREAS LEVERS / FLICKRPalcohol was created to satisfy the founder’s desire for a lightweight alternative alcohol.

RAVEN BELLAMYSENIOR STAFF WRITER

Graduate students at the Univer-sity of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa will have free access to their work under a motion approved by their govern-ing body on campus.

In addition to allowing all UH Mānoa graduate students free and open access to their work forever, the motion, passed by UH’s Grad-uate Student Organization (GSO) will make graduate work available to the public.

GSO approved the motion April 23, which requires students to make their scholarly articles pub-licly available through UH Mānoa’s online repository, ScholarSpace.

“Often times graduate stu-dents are so consumed with get-ting their work published they do not consider the rights they are giving away,” said GSO Executive Academic Chair Heather Frey, in an email interview. “ScholarSpace will help protect graduate stu-dent’s rights to access their work even after it is published.”

OPEN ACCESSOpen Access stands for unre-

stricted access and unrestricted reuse, according to POLS.org. A simi-lar policy allowed Mānoa faculty Open Access in December 2012. That year, Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Reed Dasenbrock said in a memoran-dum that UH’s commitment to Open Access ensures access that is digital, free of charge to the user, free of most copyright restrictions and is dissemi-nated over the Internet.

“The Internet gives us the oppor-tunity to bring research information to a global audience at virtually no marginal cost,” UH Mānoa Librar-ian Jennifer Beamer said. “This has resulted in a call for a new frame-work to allow research results to be more easily accessed and used – the call for Open Access.”

According to Beamer, the cur-rent research communication system is restrictive because research results are not available to the full community of potential users. The only people who have access to costly databases are those that attend the university.

“Over the past decade, Open Access has become central to advancing the interests of research-ers, scholars, students, businesses, and the public – as well as librari-ans,” Beamer said.

Open Access requires authors to give the country a nonexclusive license to exercise the copyright of their students and faculties scholarly articles as long as the authors are attributed and not sold for a profi t.

Graduate students and faculty can opt-out of Open Access by signing a waiver.

PROTECTING PUBLISHING RIGHTS According to Frey, most American

universities retain the copyright on all works of their students and fac-ulty members, a fact most people are unaware of.

“Most graduate students do not realize they are releasing all copy-rights, i.e. ownership, when they sign publishing contracts,” Frey said.

Frey said that this policy gives graduate students the ability to put their work (before it is pub-lished) into an Open Access

database where they can access it indefi nitely.

SCHOLARSPACEResearchers at UH have made

their works available in the UH Mānoa ScholarSpace Open Access repository. According to the 2012 faculty Open Access Policy, Schol-arSpace is the institutional repos-itory for the UH Mānoa and is an online, open-access archive of the university’s scholarly output.

“It is made available to the com-munities here in Hawai‘ i that need it most, and allows greater visi-bility for our research worldwide,” Beamer said.

Institutions that support research are increasingly implementing policies that require research-ers to make articles that report on research generated from their fund-ing openly accessible to and fully useable by the public and the com-munities that would not otheriwse have access to this research.

What do you think?Let us know @KaLeoOHawaii

Graduate works open to the public M O R E I N F O

FOUR PRIMARY COMPONENTS TO ENABLING OPEN ACCESS

▪ Open Access Publishing: Articles are free to all interested readers, and the publishers place no fi nancial or copyright barriers between the readers and the article.

▪ Digital Repositories: Authors deposit their research articles into digital archives which enable readers to freely access and fully reuse the article text.

▪ Eff ectively Managed Author Rights: Authors of a research paper control content distribution.

▪ Local, National and International Open Access P oli cies : Institutions that support research can implement eff ective policies that that support making Open Access to scholarly research articles the default mode for their researchers.

University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa sub-marines found a missing Japanese World War II era mega-submarine bell that was lost almost 69 years ago.

Director of Facilities and Sub-marine Operations for the Hawai‘ i Undersea Research Laboratory (HURL) Terry Kerby said that fi nding the bell from the I-400 submarine, sunk in 1946 by torpedoes from the USS Trumpetfi sh, was a great fi nd for his team.

“It was remarkable to fi nd the I-400 sub bell since we did not know where it was,” Kerby said.

LOCATING THE MISSING BELLHURL used its Pisces IV and V sub-

marines to locate the missing bell, which was once hung on the subma-rine’s conning tower and served the purpose of sounding alert.

The World War II-era Imperial Japanese Navy mega-submarine was in discovered December 2013 by a HURL and U.S. National Oce-anic and Atmospheric Administra-tion (NOAA) team.

Kerby worked with Hans Van Til-burg, the maritime heritage coor-dinator for the Pacifi c Islands Regional Offi ce of the National Marine Sanctuaries Program (NMSP) with NOAA, to survey the

area where the submarine sank.He used the angle where the

Japanese submarine had hit as a

marker to fi nd the missing com-ponent. He then headed west on the assumption that the sub went down bow fi rst when hitting the bottom of the ocean.

Pisces V’s sonar can see the ocean bottom and is able to avoid

hitting anything that could dam-age the sub, Kerby said. As Pisces V reached the bottom, the sonar stopped working so he was blind.

“As a long time pilot you develop this sense, so we went old school,” Kerby said.

He added that prior to sonar, a submarine pilot would have to look around slowly and carefully by seeing with the naked eye. With-out the sonar, he was able to see the hangar door sitting at the bot-tom of the ocean fl oor. He went on and found the hangar and conning tower sitting on its side completely intact. This is the area where he had also found the submarine bell.

“This is a great fi nd for UH, but the I-23 would be the ultimate fi nd,” Kerby said.

The team’s survey also included a video of the submarine’s hanger and conning tower.

ANOTHER SUBMARINEThe I-23 Japanese submarine was

another sub involved an attack at Pearl Harbor. This attack took place two months after the Dec. 7 attack.

The I-23 submarine’s mission was to come to O‘ahu and stay hidden 10 miles south of Pearl Harbor and report on weather and ship traffi c, Kerby said. The I-23 was there on Feb. 14, 1942 and transmitted signals eight times until Feb. 28 before it

was never heard from again. He said there is no report of anti-submarine warfare in the area so the sub must have had some type of failure.

The I-23 is still out there with 96 people on board and it would be great to bring closure to the families, Kerby said.

A LACK OF FUNDINGFor Pisces IV and V to go out into

the water it costs $48,000 a day, Kerby said, adding that HURL has been having issues in getting fund-ing for dives throughout the years.

“It is important that those arti-facts that have been found need to be monitored,” Kerby said.

He added that many companiesthat want to search the ocean fl oor don’t want to pay to go to sites where there’s a chance of them only fi nding rock formations, rather than artifacts.

He added that the program ranout of money in 2012. In 2013 UHput the HURL submarines up forsale and laid off part of the crew.Kerby has been piecing together sub dives with NHK, NOAAs mar-itime heritage program. This had been keeping the program going but it cannot be sustained this way for too long, he said.

“Sen. Inouye believed that Hawai‘ i should be the leader in the western Pacifi c in deepwater explorations. He gave us a chance to show what we could do with a sub operation,” Kerby said.

He believes that it is important to have this capability here in Hawai‘ i.

The Student Activity and Program Fee Board (SAPFB) revised its char-ter proposal and general criteria documents to be more up to date with current policies and titles at the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa.

On May 5, the board approved both the charter and general cri-teria documents with all amend-ments proposed.

SAPFB Chairperson Robert Green said in an email interview that the documents will go through inter-nal channels to be signed off by the director of Student Life and Development (SLD), the vice chan-cellor for students and the chan-cellor. The documents will then be ratifi ed and SAPFB will be gov-erned by these documents.

OVERDUE CHANGESGreen said during an April 30

public hearing that the operat-ing documents are still the same as they were in 1982 and were last revised in 1990. SAPFB is going through and making corrections to a lot of UH organizations names and titles of offi cials at UH.

“It’s one of these things were the can just got kicked down the road even more, so we are trying to be more proactive and trying to get it fi nalized,” Green said during the meeting.

Green said the previous docu-ments contained a lot of typos and some antiquated language. The documents also contained obso-lete practices that have not been revised since the early 80s and 90s. Green also added that the docu-ments have been lacking infor-mation on how and why SAPFB functions the way it does.

The National Security Agency and the Department of Home-land Security have designated the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa as

a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Research (CAE-R).

“We are honored to join this esteemed group of designees,” UH Mānoa Chancellor Robert Bley-Vro-man said. “As Hawai‘ i’s only research university, we acknowl-edge our special responsibility to

maintain and strengthen our high-level doctoral expertise, includ-ing that of cybersecurity education and research, not only in the criti-cal Asia-Pacifi c region, but nation-ally and globally.”

Cliff Bean, commander of the

National Security Agency/Central Security Service Hawai‘ i, said UH offers quality, cybersecurity-related curricula.

“Increasing the number of stu-dents majoring in science, technol-ogy, engineering and mathematics related fi elds is critical to federal government agencies, the State of

Hawai‘ i, local industry and busi-nesses,” Bean said.

UH Mānoa joins research cen-ters of excellence including Boston University, Carnegie Mellon Univer-sity, Georgia Institute of Technology, New York University and Princeton University.

“We are extremely pleased with UH Mānoa’s designation, as it rec-ognizes the University of Hawai‘ i’s commitment to providing cut-ting-edge research and education in cybersecurity,” said David Lass-ner, University of Hawai‘ i president. “We look forward to continuing our partnerships and outreach activ-ities with the federal government and Hawai‘ i community in an area that is critical to all of us and expe-riencing explosive growth.”

The CAE-R program was created in 2008 to encourage universities and students to pursue higher-level doctoral research in cybersecurity.

NICOLE DAVISSENIOR STAFF WRITER

Scientists from the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa have coordinated with scientists from Japan, Australia and California to create a computer simulation that can predict climate changes up to three years.

“I began working on this proj-ect about fi ve years ago, when I was working in Japan. Then when I moved to UH Mānoa, I continued to work on it here with the university,” said Yoshimitsu Chikamoto, post-doctoral fellow at the International Pacifi c Research Center.

Until now, there has been no software available in the scien-tifi c community that would be able to predict what climate changes would look like up to three years. A total of nine scientists collaborated together to create this computer simulation.

Thanks to this new simulation, pre-cautions can be taken ahead of time before large climate changes happen.

“Our international research team, spearheaded by Yoshi Chikamoto,

worked on this study for about one year, but the original climate model simulations date back a few years,” Axel Timmermann, professor of Oceanography at UH Mānoa said.

The model simulations were con-ducted on supercomputers in Japan and generated a large amount of data that the group had to analyze.

“Teasing out from terabytes of digital data that tropical climate variability is partly driven by the Atlantic and showing that this inter-actions leads to some enhanced predictive skill on timescales of several years was an interesting challenge for all of us,” Timmer-mann said.

He added that developing the software was “an interesting chal-lenge” for all those involved.

THE BENEFITSChikamoto said the climate

prediction software will be help-ful for estimating weather prob-lems such as the California drought. California is a large sup-plier of food and produce for the Hawaiian islands and the current

drought the state is facing will directly impact Hawai‘ i’s ecology.

Chikamoto explained that the computer simulation that he and his colleagues created will be able to provide information in the

future about the status of the Cal-ifornia drought, so Hawai‘ i’s ecol-ogy can adapt.

EL NIÑOAccording to the National Oce-

anic and Atmospheric Administra-tion (NOAA), El Niño is a climate phenomenon where warm ocean temperatures occur in the Equa-torial Pacifi c. El Niño can cause weather consequences across the entire globe.

Timmermann said that the El Niño can affect Hawai‘ i’s rainfall

and wave conditions considerably, depending on the type, and infl u-ence other storms across the globe.

“An El Niño Modoki can develop into a classical Eastern Pacifi c El Niño, which infl uences rainfall and wave conditions in Hawai‘ i consid-erably,” Timmermann said. “This is in fact happening right now.”

He added that the El Niño Modoki conditions that Hawai‘ i had in March and April 2015 transi-tion into an Eastern Pacifi c El Niño, mostly likely causing enhanced rainfall in summer and drought conditions in winter.

Timmermann said that with this study, scientists can predict for the fi rst time one particular fl avor of El Niño several years in advance.

Chikamoto also noted that understanding and predicting the El Niño can benefi t Hawai‘i because the change in sea levels that occur during the El Niño can have det-rimental effects on the coral reef ecosystems in Hawai‘ i.

A resolution that supports efforts to make higher education more affordable still awaits hearing by a congressional committee.

United States Sen. Brian Schatz introduced Senate Resolution 143, which supports efforts that ensure students will leave college debt free. Each state will be provided support for investments that will reduce the cost of education and increase fi nancial aid so that stu-dents don’t have to take on debt.

“A higher education is the best way for people to move up the eco-nomic ladder, but the rising cost of college in Hawai‘ i and across the country has made it harder for students to earn a degree and

get ahead,” Schatz said in a press release. “Our message is clear: we need to do more to make college more affordable for all students so that they can graduate without debt holding them back.”

THE COST OF HIGHER EDUCATIONSenate Resolution 143 also plans

on reducing current student debt, which is currently at $1.14 billion dollars, according to Federal Student Aid, more than double what it was less than a decade ago. On govtrack.us, the bill is currently projected to has zero chance of being agreed to.

“The federal government, states and schools all have a role to play in cutting the cost of college,” Schatz said. “This is a problem we can solve, and we can start by working to make sure institutions receiving

federal funding are doing their part to make a degree more affordable and accessible for all students.”

This resolution comes shortly after a presidential memoran-dum by President Barack Obama to restrict loan repayment require-

ments to 10 percent of loan hold-ers income. The memorandum also plans to make loan servicing compa-nies more transparent and account-able by allowing complaints to be made to the Department of Educa-tion and watch its progression.

The average cost for a full time student in the United States cost $9,139 annually according to the Col-lege Board. With room and board, the cost more than doubles to $18,943.

According to a survey conducted by the Hawai‘i Educational Policy

Center, the leading cause for stu-dents not to re-enroll were due to tuition and fees not being affordable.

“I don’t think my tuition dollars are used properly. I honestly don’t think we need to spend so much money on administration,” Iliana

Argyris, a freshman in mechanicalengineering, said. “You can get a great education from a community college which is more affordable.”

Some univerisities are now offer-ing their course work online for free. Some examples include Yale, MIT, Stanford and Harvard, though they are not worth any credits.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, college graduates with a bachelor degree earn 60 percentmore than compared to a high school graduate, and are 58 per-cent less likely to be unemployed.

“A college degree is worth itbecause the job market is reallycompetitive and favors people who have degrees over people who have a lot of experience and no degree,” Argyris said.

On March 3, KHON2 News reported that the fi re extinguisher inspection tags in UH Mānoa’s parking struc-ture had been last checked in 2012 and 2013. In response, Fire Safety Specialist of the UH Fire Safety Pro-gram (FSP) Rudy Tulonghari, told the news station that the expired tags were intentionally left on.

“All of the extinguishers at the University of Hawai‘ i are inspected annually by our offi ce,” Tulonghari said. “This system is for us. It’s not for the public. ... Those pieces of paper cost money. In those three years that we took out one and put in another,” Tulonghari said. “We could have just saved on the tag and left it on with our notation on there. Pennies count.”

This is having it backwards. It makes no sense for the offi ce of FSP to know that all the extinguish-ers work while the general public is unaware fi re extinguishers past their expiration date or marked “unsatisfactory” are actually func-tional. The pennies that FSP saves are not worth students’ anxiety over basic safety regulations.

“Getting in and out of [the park-ing structure] can get hectic some-times. This would be the worst place for a fi re,” UH Mānoa student Joshua-Michael Tomiyama said. “If I had to let my car burn, because I didn’t know that the tags were lying, who would pay for it? The school?”

Tomiyama, who often parks in the structure near the athletic complex, became concerned after hearing about the outdated tags. Others are worried too: the KHON2

report was initiated by an anon-ymous tip on their website. The reality is that people expect fi re extinguisher safety tags to indi-cate the date the devices were last inspected regardless what FSP thinks they are for.

FSP nevertheless is clear that those who park in the structure are expected to know how to operate the extinguishers, as evident from signs in the building. The structure is unfortunately one of the sev-eral areas on campus fi re trucks wouldn’t be able to access, so such knowledge on the part of its users could be potentially life-saving.

The policy can also be found on the UH Mānoa Environmental Health and Safety Offi ce (EHSO) website. Ironically, the fi re extin-guisher training video the site links to has been down since Nov. 17,

2014, adding another issue that the FSP has failed to update.

Following the report, EHSO director Roy Takekawa issued a statement assuring of FSP’s annual inspection and tagging of about 2,500 portable extinguish-ers at Mānoa.

“The fi re extinguishers that were reported to have expired tags had undergone testing, but hadnot completed the entire inspec-tion and replacement process,” Takekawa said. He also said that by April 13, all fi re extinguishers throughout campus were updatedwith current inspection tags.

Even though the tags are now replaced, it doesn’t excuse the fact that they were neglected for so long. UH students and staff have the right to know whether or notfi re extinguishers work.

Though the Campus Center Board Activities Council (CCBAC) at the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa called the end-of-the-year cel-ebration off for various reasons, the board could have called upon student resources to support the show instead of canceling the event altogether.

The Aloha Bash has been hap-pening with impressive con-sistency since its 2004 debut. However, Sarah Yap, director of Student Events and Campus Life Services, said in an interview with Ka Leo that the show would be unable to go on. She did not go into detail about the reasons for the concert’s cancellation.

As recently as March 9, though, CCBAC had even set a tentative date of May 8 for the send-off.

Depending on what the road-block was, CCBAC could have reached out to other organiza-tions or the student body for help, or made changes

While the extravaganza has typ-ically featured big-name (and expensive) performers such as Katchafi re and The Green, the event could have featured stu-dent entertainers instead. Ticket prices could have been raised to $10 (from last year’s $5) to cover unforeseen costs.

True, Aloha Bash is revered by students for its low-cost tickets and high-profi le performers. But the event, which comes around fi nals time, is largely a chance for students to relax and unwind before the pressure of cramming and exams becomes a reality.

The show has evolved into a send-off for students prepar-ing to separate from their school friends, work full-time, graduate or return to the mainland.

For an organization that exists to plan events that bring students together on campus, CCBAC should come up with more creative solu-tions to counteract last-minute issues, especially for one of their more popular student events.

Imagine spending decades in jail for a horrifi c crime you are innocent of before being exonerated on DNA evidence, only to be dumped back into society without marketable skills or a social support network.

For Alvin Jardine of Maui, who was wrongly convicted of sexual assault and burglary in 1992 and spent almost 20 years in prison, this was a harsh reality. The state isn’t doing enough to help these people reintegrate into society.

While wrongful imprisonment will likely continue, the state can at least begin compensating for the monetary, emotional and social losses that come with it. It’s not only just, but it will actually save money in the long run.

LEGAL DEVELOPMENTSHawai‘ i is one of twenty states

that do not provide compensation to wrongfully imprisoned inmates. Lawmakers, however, are looking to change that. House bill (HB) 148 seeks to provide compensation and services to the wrongfully convicted and follows federal law in promis-ing at least $50,000 compensation per year of incarceration.

HB148 and the deferred SB145 have been met with opposition from the Hawaii Paroling Author-ity (HPA). In its testimony, the state agency says the measure would cause a “chilling effect” on pardon-ing because of the increased cost. HPA also challenges the provision included to provide lifetime health care along with monetary compen-sation on the grounds that it would be too expensive.

It’s telling that even opponents of the bill do not dispute that com-pensating those who have lan-guished in jail due to miscarriage of justice is the right thing to do. Their objections relate to the effects of the proposed legislation – its impact on state budget and conse-quently on the decisions made by state offi cials.

A MONEY-SAVING MEASUREIn the long run, however, giving this sort of compensation could be the smart budgetary choice. Many states only compensate former inmates if they agree not to sue the state, and if Hawai‘ i follows their example, the state will avoid lawsuits that could potentially cost millions of dollars each.

A compensation policy will also have a benefi cial effect on prosecu-

tors and police, encouraging them to be more honest and thorough. Juries don’t make multimillion-dol-lar damage awards just for getting the facts wrong; those cases tend to involve misconduct and negli-gence, a far too common problem in our justice system, and one that we should act to minimize. Reduc-ing false convictions in the fi rst place is surely superior to pardonsand exoneration, which themselves cost time and money.

The net cost of compensation is less than it appears at fi rst glance. Released prisoners often lack easy access to jobs and health care, which means they would be rely-ing on government social ser-vices. Indeed, newly freed inmates are likely to have many immedi-ate needs for their compensation money, which means that moneywill function as a government stim-ulus.

JUSTICE SHOULD BE SERVEDWhatever the economic effects of

the measure, however, the heart ofthe issue is still that people have been harmed by losing irreplace-able years of their lives. They have missed opportunities, given up ondreams and relationships. Our jus-tice system has actually dealt them an injustice.

In the long term, the ideal solu-tion would be to put fewer people in prison in the fi rst place, and to change our society so we have less crime and incarceration. The U.S. has the second highest incarcera-tion rate in the world (after The Sey-chelles), which means that 200 other countries are examples of what we could do better. But until then, there is nothing to be gained from being heartless to the innocent.

Anyone is capable of wasting pre-cious study time, but it takes a true (rainbow) warrior to procrastinate in a way that elicits feelings of fear, envy and high-blood pressure in fellow classmates. As a seasoned procras-tinator (who once wrote a 16-page paper in the fi nal two hours before it was due), I am taking it upon myself to pass on my wisdom to the next generation of procrastinators. Here are suggestions for when studying is the last thing you want to do.

1. Day-drink your way around the island while spending all of your money. Take a sober designated driver and start the day at Wai‘olu at the Trump International Hotel infi nity pool. Migrate to RumFire in Sheraton Waikiki and feast on kalua pork nachos paired with a carafe of ginger lilikoi mojito. Hit up Ka-hala Hotel & Resort to sip from a pineapple and jump off the fl oating dock. End the day at Surfer The Bar in the Turtle Bay Resort with hurri-cane fries and calamari to soak up some of the booze. Extra points for replenishing with a glass of water.

2. Spring clean. Pick up everything off of the fl oor, throw away trash, do the dishes and make your bed. Go through notebooks from the school year and recycle used pa-pers. Go through the closet and get rid of things that don’t fi t or has not been worn in the past year.

3. Read an entire book series. Sug-gestions: “Harry Potter,” “The Lord

of the Rings” or “A Song of Ice and Fire” (inspiration for the “Game of Thrones” television series). Nev-er stop reading. Choosing to do school-related reading does not count as procrastination and will be seen as a lack of dedication to the task at hand. Alternatively, read every book in an author’s col-lection. Suggestions: Stephen King, Agatha Christie or R.L. Stine.

4. Learn party basics and avoid embarrassment at the next shin-dig you attend. Ask YouTube how to shotgun a beer, do a keg-stand, play Oasis’ “Wonderwall” on guitar, twerk, open a wine bottle with a knife or breathe fi re.

5. Go to cooking school and learn how to make a fi ve-course meal. Have a sit-down dinner party for friends and family and then drop the class before it is fi nals week and you have to procrastinate within your procrastination. Pro-crastination inception is only for those of the highest skill-level, and should be attempted with the greatest caution.

6. Challenge yourself to complete an entire series on Netfl ix. This is the big leagues now, so be ambi-tious. Finishing the 13 episode-long fi rst season of “Unbreakable Kim-my Schmidt” is not an accom-plishment to be proud of. Strive for something more like “Dexter,” “Lost,” “Supernatural,” “Grey’s Anat-omy” or “Doctor Who.” The goal is to forget what it feels like to not be watching Netfl ix.

Dear Reader,This is it, guys. We have completed yet another school year. For those of you who are fi nishing

your fi rst year of college – congratulations, you did it. Things only get worse from here. For those who are fi nally graduating – congratulations, you did it. Things only get worse from here. We still have to slog through fi nals week, but then we will be released into the liberating summer months. Some will have internships, others will job hunt and still others will binge-watch their lives away on Netfl ix. I think we all know who is making the right choice. Alas, these fi ve days of fi nals will be long ones, and some may not be certain of what they will be doing with their sunny summer days. Once again, we here at Ka Leo are here to help you.

By procrastinating on our other work, we here at Ka Leo have put together the fi nal special issue of the school year. This guide will serve a variety of purposes, ranging from suggesting summer events to providing study strategies. Although fi nals week is brutal, we want you to look and feel your best during these trying times, even if that equates to sweat pants and 12 cups of coffee. We also want to help those who are entering the “real world” by giving tips on what to do during an internship, or how to handle living on the mainland for the fi rst time. Ultimately, survival is up to you, but we will try to assist you with this guide as best we can.

To give you a taste of what is available in this issue and online, here is a preview of some of our articles in the Finals & Grad issue. “Fill in the Blank” will help you fi gure out what to do with a gap year, should you choose to take one. “Project X Grad Party” is useful for those throwing a graduation party. For those of you moving away, or who know people who are leaving, “Keeping in Touch after Graduation” will give you tips on how to keep in touch. If you are trying to think of new ways to keep your mind from exploding while studying, “Being Relaxed and Productive” provides several relaxation pointers. Anyone seeking a caffeine boost should check out “Liquid Survival” for advice on the most delicious and effective ways to caffeinate while studying. As for those facing that fi nal year, “Carpe Annum” will help you make the most of your remaining time.

Well, folks, that’s just about it. Finals week is awful and summer is wonderful. What else can be said? I congratulate us all on making it this far, and I wish you the best of luck in surviving fi nals. I hope that you enjoy your summer, and I shall see you in the fall.

THE GLOBAL TRIAL

AUSTRALIA

ENGLAND

CHRISTINA YANASSOCIATE SPECIAL ISSUES EDITOR

The annual ritual of last minute, high anxiety cramming for fi nals season, only complete with the smell of coffee and Red Bull, has fi nally bestowed itself upon students at the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa. While students prepare for their last exams until the fall, students around the world are fac-ing the same stress during their fi nal weeks at school.

Finals season is taxing for everyone around the world, not just for stu-dents at UH. The fact that universities around the world invite therapy dogs to campus during exam times as a stress reliever speaks for itself.

STUDENTS AROUND THE WORLD ARE STRUGGLING WITH FINALS

The United States holds fi nal exams at the end of each semester or quarter period. Typically universities will give students a week, referred to as “Dead Week,” to prepare for their exams. While fi nals may give students a sense of fear, not all grades are dependent on those scores, with some exams only being around 25 percent of a student’s grade. Although professors often tell students to not procrasti-nate throughout the year and to avoid writing essays the night before, they then expect students to fi nish an entire paper in two hours during fi nal exams.

In England, students do not take exams each semes-ter; instead, fi nals are cumulative and do not begin until May. Students have a month long break before the exam process to study for classes from the fall and spring. After the break, the examination period lasts for a month with students preparing fi nal projects, exams and papers. This system works well in England because every student retainins and uses the information he or she was given throughout the entire year. All classes pertain to students’ majors, as England has no general education courses. Students in England’s university sys-tem are only in their undergraduate for three years.

While each fi nal exam varies distinctly with one’s major in Germany, the typical examination period relies more on papers than exams. Exams are often given in the fi rst year, then students transition into writing more and lon-ger papers in their second and fi nal third year. However, if given exams, students often also give presentations in class as well as write papers during their semester break.

Chinese students are often seen in the last few weeks of college studying furiously at libraries and cafes around their campuses. With no study week or break before fi nals, students have class until the last week before exams. Students are often required to take hand-written exams, with 1000s of characters, in a two-hour period. These fi nal exams make a huge impact on whether students pass their courses, as they count for 60 to 70 percent of students’ grades. Often, the fi nal exam and one other paper are the only evaluated parts of stu-dents’ efforts in a course.

Australia’s undergraduate program is a minimum of three years of full-time study. Just like in America, students often get a study week before exams that can last until June. The exam-ination period can stretch from just a week to an entire month depending on when fi nals are scheduled. However, students often don’t know their timetable for their exams until around the ninth week of the semester.

With summer just around the corner, we are all frantically preparing for the last exams and assignments of the semester.

Many University of Hawai‘ i students are already beginning to show signs of the fi nal exam epidemic. Catching the fi nals fl u? Symptoms include, but are not limited to: anxiety, exhaustion, nausea, headache, high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, exces-sive sweating, body aches, hair loss, diffi -culty sleeping, panic, extreme mood swings, episodes of maniacal laughter, eye spasms and crying. Should you fi nd yourself expe-riencing any of these symptoms, here are some remedies to cope with the pain.

DON’T procrastinate. While easier said than done, a key factor in avoiding the classic all-night cram session is organiz-ing your time prior to exam week. Whether you are someone who needs an hour-by-hour itinerary, or you just go with the fl ow, practicing effective time management will greatly improve the quality of your work and help you avoid stress.

DO sleep. Convincing yourself that sleep is not an option before or during fi nals week is a common but risky mentality to have. Caffeine may give you a burst of energy, but keep in mind that you will experience that inevitable and exhausting crash. If you are not able to get the recommended seven hours of sleep, set aside time to take short naps throughout the day.

DON’T get distracted. It may seem like fi n-ishing the title of your 10-page research paper deserves a snack break, but you will soon fi nd that such temptations only bring you stress. You know yourself best, and if you stay in an environment that is bound to lead you astray, move to a different area or fi nd ways to block out diversions.

DO take breaks. Taking a break is a must when studying, but deciding what type of short activity you do is crucial. Students often confuse a short study break with watching hours of animal videos on You-Tube. Instead, getting up out of your chair and moving around for a few minutes to take a quick breather will improve your focus and help relieve some physical and mental stress. Whatever the task, it may be a good idea to set an alarm to let you know when it’s time to get back to work.

THE DOS ANDDON’TS OF FINALS

BEING RELAXED AND PRODUCTIVE

ERI ISHIHARASTAFF WRITER

Papers, assignments, presentations, fi nals – your to-do list never seems to end. Don’t stress. Sure, you need to get your schoolwork done, but taking a break and clearing your head every once in a while is just as important. So put your pencil down, step away from your laptop and try these methods to help you relax during this crazy semester.

RUNNINGSometimes, you just need to get out of

the house and go for a run to clear your head. You don’t need to run for an hour; a 15 - to 30-minute run will do. Put on your running shorts and shoes, turn on your favorite tunes and head out the door for some fresh air. If it’s a rainy day, then head to the gym – exercise in any location will make you more productive when you sit back down at your desk.

TEA TIMEThis may not sound like much, but drink-

ing tea, particularly chamomile, will help you relax if you’re feeling nervous or over-whelmed with school work. Chamomile tea helps get rid of anxiety and calms you. Grab your favorite mug and pour yourself some tea. Make sure you also have chocolate or cook-ies to further the enjoyment of your tea time.

DANCE PARTYDo you feel like you have copious

amounts of energy and you don’t want to stay seated to do your homework? Hop out of your chair, blast your favor-ite music and dance around. You don’t need to be at a club to dance, and you don’t have to worry about embarrass-ing yourself in front of others if you’re alone. Dance to your heart’s content. If you don’t want to dance alone, ask a roommate or friend to dance with you, no questions asked.

NAPPINGYour head feels heavy and you’re hav-

ing a hard time keeping your eyes open. Coffee is not the answer. Power naps are the solution to this problem. Fifteen- or 20-minute long naps will re-energize and improve your cognitive skills. You may be surprised at how much work you get done after a quick nap. Set an alarm on your phone for a brief period of time, take a quick snooze and get back to work once you are feeling refreshed.

With summer just around the corner, we are all frantically preparing for the last exams and assignments of the semester. To help prepare for fi nals, here are tips that students should keep in mind.

As the semester comes to an end, many University of Hawai'i students are already beginning to show signs of the fi nal exam epidemic. Catching the fi nals fl u?

FINALSFASHION

FOR

Your last fi nal is on Thursday, but you could only get a fl ight for Wednesday. Professors are more likely to let you reschedule an exam if you take it earlier than everyone else. Try to fi nd classmates in the same predicament as you and con-tact your professor as a group. The more people that are unable to take the exam, the more likely he or she is to accommodate your request.

Since exam times are scheduled according to class start times, a time confl ict is uncommon. However, cer-tain classes like business, oceanog-raphy and math have common fi nals, given at an arbitrary time, and you might have two or more exams that start at the same time or overlap. If this is the case, meet with your pro-fessors or email them to reschedule your non-common fi nal(s).

Some professors may be sympa-thetic if you have more than two fi nals on the same day, so talk to them and see if something can be arranged. To avoid this prob-lem next year, compare your class schedule to the fi nal exam times. Professors are more likely to work with you if you take initiative to change your fi nal exams early in the semester.

TAKING YOUR FINALS WITHOUT A TIME-TURNERA GUIDE TO RESCHEDULING YOUR FINALSANGUSINA CAMPBELL STAFF WRITER

Finals are here. Now is the time to ask the important questions. The important questions are not, “How much coffee should I drink before my fi nal?” or “What am I doing with my life?” No. The most crucial question that one should ask before embark-ing on this week of awful is, “What am I going to wear to my fi nals?”

ALTER EGO

INTIMIDATION IS KEY

COMFY COMFY LISTEN TO

SCIENCE

Wear a tuxedo to your fi nal. You are Bruce Wayne. You do not need to worry about your grades because you are a multi-billion-aire who owns his own corpora-tion and is also Batman. Grades are insignifi cant compared to crime in Gotham. Prioritize. Ladies, you are also Bruce Wayne, so wear a tux. Or a bat suit.

ILLUSTRATIONS BY LEIANA NITURA / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

You didn’t study much, but that’s okay. Dress up in professional clothing and walk into class like you already have a successful internship that you need to get to after you ace this exam. Everyone else will be so threatened by your outfi t that they will panic and do poorly. Even if you don’t do so hot on the exam, your grade will be saved by the curve produced by your professional attire.

You studied in sweatpants and the T-shirt that you may or may not have ever washed. You have not changed in days. You may never change. You don’t know any-more because all you know is how doomed you are for your exams. Why should you bother changing? It won’t matter anyways. Just show up to your exam in the one out-fi t that makes you feel comfort-able, and hope that it will be there to comfort you when you learn your GPA the next week. It proba-bly won’t, but the thought is nice. Don’t worry about your classmates judging you for wearing sweats to your exam — they’re too focused on their own failures to care.

Context-dependent memory is the phenomenon when a person is better able to remember information when he or she is in the same context that he or she learned the information in. In other words, take the exam in the same type of environment you stud-ied in. Some may interpret this as studying in silence if taking the exam in silence, or hoping that the exam will take place in the regular class-room. Or, instead, why not wear the same clothes to your exam that you studied in? For the best results, any-one with a Friday exam should wear the same outfi t all week, that way the memories triggered are strong, just like the body odor you will have.

What’s your drink of choice? Your coffee drink of choice, that is. Are you looking for a punch in the face that gets your blood pumping and mus-cles working no matter what you are putting your body through? A quad-shot Americano perhaps? Or maybe you go classic hardcore and drink dark roast black like a champ?

Whatever drink you choose to keep you caffein-ated, you will be drinking a lot of it during fi nals. There are multiple locations on campus to slake your coffee thirst and many creative ways to make that special drink enjoyable. Below is a list of both classic and new ways to enjoy liquid gold.

THE REST

Drink what will help you stay awake for fi nals. Besides the clas-sics, there are many other ways to drink coffee. Mochas (or adult hot chocolates, as I call them) are good, hot or iced. Cortadas, café con leches and pour-overs are excellent ways to consume coffee. There are non-caffeinated options, as well. For example, you could try a hot chocolate (extra whipped cream, extra chocolate and as big as pos-sible, thank you very much.) Tea is also an option, and both caffein-ated and non-caffeinated options exist. I recommend Earl Grey, a black tea with a hint of bergamot, which gives it a smooth spicy fl avor.

DOUBLE SHOT VANILLA

CHAI LATTE

In the world of baristas, a chai latte with espresso in it is known as a dirty hippie. The person who recently turned me on to this par-ticular beverage is far from being a hippie, though his drink choice might say otherwise. This drink makes me feel like my inner child took a trip to a place with elephants and fl owers for Christmas. In other words, I’m bouncing all over the place, giggling and enjoying being alive. This drink provides a way for me to stay awake and create a short-lived place of happiness while I slowly lose my mind during fi nals.

THE BLENDED-ICY-SUGARY THING

Most coffee shops have a ver-sion of the Starbucks Frappuccino. The drink probably comes in mul-tiple versions of chocolate-car-amel-strawberry something. It is great for hot weather or a special treat, but, unless adding a shot, the drink is likely mostly sugar and not much caffeine. If a sugar rush is your thing, I recommend a drink of this nature.

ESPRESSO

Straight espresso is good for bursts of energy, like right before an exam you feel confi dent about. The drawback is the inevitable crash, making the drink useless for long stretches of mental exer-cise. Also, a good shot of espresso is hard to come by. A large num-ber of factors contribute to a good shot: time since roasting, water temperature, extraction time and quality of the bean. If effect, not taste, is what you are concerned about, choose espresso.

THE LATTE

As a barista, I can tell you two things about a latte. First, it is the simplest of all espresso and milk combinations, being that it is exactly that, espresso and milk. Second, any other combinations of milk and espresso are just lattes with a different ratio of milk, foam, sweetened additive, and sometimes a different cup. Milk softens the bit-terness of espresso, while effec-tively delivering caffeine, creating a larger drink and producing a longer enjoyment experience. Lattes are good, hot or cold, and they are per-fect for long library hours. I take my latte with whole milk, 160 degrees, double shot in a medium mug with a bit of brown sugar.

THE CAPPUCCINOIt is diffi cult to describe a cap-

puccino. A cappuccino is a dry latte (a latte with extra foam). This gives it the creamy richness you need, and the caffi ne you crave. How-ever, I would describe it as a mid-dle-aged, tweed-jacketed individual reading Mark Twain in the after-noon rain. As these two descrip-tions suggest, a cappuccino can be sipped in leisure at the library during a study group, or chugged prior to a grueling fi nal. For me, the best cappuccino is small, extra dry, 140 degrees and with whole milk.

The graduation ceremony is two (long) hours of speeches and students receiv-ing their diplomas. While it’s a given that commencement is going to be boring, your outfi t does not have to be. For ideas on what to wear, use our planned outfi ts for inspiration.

LIFTTHATGOWN

SHOW OFF WHAT ’ S UNDERNEATH

ALOHAWhat would graduation be without the aloha spirit? Ladies, a fl owy top, fl oral skirt and fl ip-fl ops are as island as it gets. Men, wearing board shorts and sandals will have you itching to get to the beach after commencement.

GET THE LOOKBlouse: BebeSkirt: Abercrombie & FitchBoard shorts: DC

If you are the type of graduate wanting to keep things low-key, a casual look may be your best bet. Men, a sim-ple v-neck shirt and khaki pants will keep you cool during the hot commencement. Ladies, rompers are the easiest way to look like you are trying without actually putting effort into your look. Pairing a romper with neu-tral tone heels will keep the look simple, but graduation ceremony appropriate.

GET THE LOOKRomper: Diesel USAShoes: Aldo

Shirt: DecreePants: VansShoes: Vans

For the women and men wanting to look A+ to match their grades, going the classy route will have all eyes on you. Ladies, opt for a conservative dress, black heels, and a simple neck-lace. Men, a button-down shirt and slacks always works nicely for a for-mal look. Adding shoes in one tone will help defi ne the classiness. Stay away from bright colors, as it will neg-atively contrast with the dark green caps and gowns.

GET THE LOOKDress: Homecoming Boutique Shoes: Flag J, Ala MoanaWatch: Michael Kors

PARTYWhile the commencement is boring, the after-parties are not, and if you cannot wait to go home and change, wear your party outfi t under your gown. Ladies, short dresses with open backs are always a winner, and adding a hat and your highest heels will transition well into the night. Men, a long-sleeved shirt and cargos are simple and com-fortable enough for a long day of celebrating.

Many people appreciate the unique beauty Hawai‘ i has to offer. However, for those enter-ing the job market or going to the mainland, the days during which we are free to romp these stunning landscapes are num-bered. Traveling to a neighbor island for an extended weekend is a great way to explore beyond the familiar island of O‘ahu.

You’ve spent the last sev-eral years and thousands of dollars taking these stressful courses with a career plan in mind, but do you actually know what you want to do? Gradu-ation day is fast approaching, but what comes next? Go over your options, whether they be traveling the world, heading straight into the workforce or moving back home with your mom and dad.

CARPE ANNUMMAKING THE MOST OF YOUR LAST YEAR

IVY LEISTAFF WRITER

Graduating from college is one of the biggest accomplishments in life, but it comes with many painful goodbyes. Luckily with our technolo-gy-driven culture, keeping in touch with college friends is a piece of cake. While you may not talk as often, it’s crucial to realize true friendships aren’t defi ned by how often you communicate. Nonetheless, maintaining long-distance friendships does require effort from both sides. There are various ways to keep in touch, and below are several suggestions for suc-cess in maintaining friendships over distance and time.

HAYLEY MUSASHISTAFF WRITER

It may seem too soon to be planning for your graduation, but time fl ies when you’re in college. Making the most of your fi nal months can really make all the difference as you prepare to walk across that stage.

There may be times when you feel that it would be a little weird to start a conversation with someone you haven’t spoken to in ages, but sometimes a simple hello will lead to a deep heart-to-heart Skype conversation or a lunch date the next time both of you are in the same area. Either situation provides an opportunity to realize there are indeed bonds that can never be broken by distance or time.

SNAIL MAIL OR SEND PACKAGESWhile handwriting a letter or sending packages may

seem a little old-fashioned in our technology-dependent society, going the extra mile shows that you put more thought into maintaining a valuable friendship. Handwrit-ten letters undoubtedly have more sentimental value than text messages. Packages can be a reminder of how well you and your friends know each other.

VIDEO CHAT OR VIRTUALLY HANGOUT

For many people, simply liking statuses and posting short comments here and there is not suffi cient to maintain emo-tional closeness in a friendship. If both sides are willing to prioritize the friendship and work through any time differ-ences, then setting a time to video chat via Facetime, Skype or ooVoo once every week or month will help keep you updated on each other’s lives. This can give you the laughs and encouragements you need. The website rabb.it allows you to simultaneously video chat and virtually hang out together online.

UTILIZE SOCIAL MEDIA Through the use of sites like Facebook, Twitter and

Instagram, you can receive updates about each other’s lives. Exciting and major life events are usually publicly announced these days. Even if you don’t have time to call and chat for hours, you can spare a few minutes to read a status and maybe even write a comment to let them know you’re happy for them from afar.

PLAN A REUNIONUltimately, a long-distance friendship will still be different

from one within close proximity. Planning a reunion requires effort because it challenges both sides to plan and save money for the trip. However, being reunited with a good friend is a wonderful experience because you have learned to not take proximity for granted. Agree to visit a place you both have always dreamed of exploring together, and take pictures (especially embarrassing ones) so you can spam each other’s Facebook walls for the upcoming birthdays you may not be celebrating together.

In your fi nal year of school, it is of the utmost importance to get your name out there in your respective job market. As O‘ahu is such a tight-knit community, it is vital that you begin to build relationships, because whom you know can be just as useful as what you know. Your classmates could eventually be your cowork-ers, so make sure to stay on good terms and don’t be afraid to reach out and ask for advice.

Take a moment and think about all you accomplished during your college career. Look back on everything relevant that you were involved in that is relevant to your career goals and write down what you remember. The Mānoa Career Center holds several excellent seminars on how to write a stel-lar cover letter and résumé, and the staff is willing to help you cre-ate one that will help you stand out from the crowd.

We are all slaving away and scouring through our textbooks to make the grade, but many employ-ers look at a prospective employ-ee’s experience more than his or her transcripts. Employers want to know that you can thrive in a work environment and have gained the necessary skills to excel in your fi eld – a classroom setting does not always provide that experience. Apply for as many internships related to your fi eld as possible.

This is probably the last time in your life your body can sur-vive on a balanced diet of Flam-ing Hot Cheetos and beer, so don’t feel guilty about doing what makes you happy. Live in the moment, make new friends and do the things you’ve always wanted to try but never got around to doing. These are your fi nal months of freedom, so enjoy them while you can.

ALYSSA LISHMANSTAFF WRITER

Those who were born and raised in Hawai‘ i know it all too well: the feeling of wanting to “get off the rock.” If you are brave enough to take the journey to the mainland, here are a few tips you should remember.

You must be prepared to experi-ence the culture shock of your life. Hawai‘ i really does have its own way of going about things. Walking down the street or going to 7-Eleven for a quick Slurpee? In Hawai‘ i, you will most likely see somebody you know and end up having a conver-sation. People holding doors open for you? Sure, that sounds normal, but don’t count on it always hap-pening on the mainland. Mainland residents are not mean, but the

overall attitude in the continental United States is not consistent with that found in Hawai‘ i. The “aloha” that you grew up loving will vanish. On a campus, in a work environ-ment or with close friends, you may fi nd the same camaraderie that you associate with the islands. However, do not expect everyone to stop in the streets just to catch up.

The weather will be unlike any-thing you’ve experienced, so you’ll need to purchase an entirely new wardrobe. Remember learning about the seasons in grade school, but never noticing a change in the weather around you? Now you will get to experience winter. While this may seem appealing to some, it can be crippling for those who have never experienced weather below 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Shopping for new winter clothes is expensive,

but is necessary if you want to sur-vive. You’ll have to somehow man-age a journey to classes or work in thick layers to ensure that you don’t become an icicle. Spend the money and invest in a high quality jacket to shield you from the cold. Temperatures can be as low as zero degrees in the winter, but during the summer they can shoot up to 100 degrees, if not higher. When picking a location to potentially live in, be sure to educate yourself on the winter and summer climates before you make up your mind.

If you think Hawai‘ i has cul-tural diversity, wait until you step foot on the mainland. You will be shocked at how many different cul-tures you will witness in the fi rst fi ve minutes getting off the plane. Be sure to go out and experience as much of the cultural diversity

as you can. Try new things, go to new restaurants and participate in festivals and gatherings. Many of your colleagues will come from diverse backgrounds, and you may be able to learn something new about a different culture every day. Although Hawai‘ i is a great vaca-tion location and thus a hot spot for meeting many types of people, the mainland is larger and allows for travelers from all over the globe to roam more freely and without as many crowds.

The lower cost of living will leave you — and your wallet — feeling a bit happier and more satisfi ed. Hawai‘ i is an expensive place to live, especially for college kids who don’t make a lot of money. It can be stressful to fi nd a place to live and pay rent, buy groceries, pay for household supplies and still have

money to allow yourself some fun. On the mainland, there will likely be a Dollar Tree, 99-cent store or another inexpensive store within a 5-mile radius of your location. Many items can be found in these stores, from toilet paper to sham-poo and conditioner, to wrapping paper and even food. These stores will be a lifesaver when moving into a new apartment and paying bills by yourself.

These tips will help make your transition to the mainland eas-ier. Leaving this small rock can be diffi cult, but once you are able tosustain yourself in a larger and sometimes tougher world, you willbe better prepared for anything life decides to send your way.

MOVING FROM PARADISE 101WHAT TO EXPECT ON THE MAINLAND

Maybe your gap year does not consist of saving money because you have enough saved. If this is the case, travel to a different state or country – just go somewhere new. Apps like Airbnb offer cheap rates at bed and breakfasts in different parts of the world, and Allegiant Airlines offers fl ights from Honolulu starting at $100.

Four years (sometimes more) of undergrad can take a toll on one’s body. Now that school is over, there are no more late nights of studying and snacking on junk food. You have an entireyear to work out consistently to get your body in tip-top shape. Try one of many hikes offeredon O‘ahu or even yoga – you’ll feel the differ-ence right away.

ILLLUSTRATION BY LAUREN TABOR / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

K a L e o O H a w a i ‘ i

The caps have been fl ung, the gowns have come off, and the parties have ended – your undergraduate years are fi nally over. Now what? For many, graduate school is a priority, yet it can be pricey and applications take time to prepare. Other people may desire a little time off before committing to serious jobs. For students with a gap and no plans, do not fret, there is some-thing for you.

Zuckerberg is famous for creating Facebook, one of the most popular social media sites today, and he didn’t fi nish his undergrad. As a sophomore dropout, Zuckerberg is now worth billions. If he could start a website without a degree, you can defi nitely do it with one. If you’ve ever dreamed of launching a startup, a gap year is the perfect time to do so.

At this point, résumés are important, so start building yours up by getting experience through an internship. If you have a year off, look into interning with a company in your fi eld. Chances are working in your area of interest will be worth more than a piece of paper certifying your bach-elor’s degree.A gap year may seem like a long time, but 12 months can fl y by quickly; freshman year seems like yesterday. Remember to make the most out of the short amount of time you have.

Even though your undergraduate education is over, that doesn’t mean you have to stop learn-ing. If there is a language you wanted to learnbut didn’t, consider taking coures on the side or private lessons. If you’ve always wanted to become a part of a sports team, try club volley-ball or football. Maybe you’ve been itching tolearn how to paint or maybe you’ve been dying to swim with the sharks. Whatever your inter-est is, do it.

There is a crowning moment in every college student’s life that he or she will remember for the rest of his or her life. Perhaps yours happened during your fi rst year dorming on campus when a fi re alarm sounded at 3 a.m., which led to a make out session in the parking lot. Or it could have been during your junior year in the library when you mastered the theory of AC/DC. Or maybe, just maybe, yours hasn’t happened yet.

Although it seems like there is no time for this so-called moment of glory, do not fret, there is a solution. Throw the Project X of graduation parties. If you don’t have a single golden memory from your time at UH, throwing an epic party will make the cut. Because this party will essen-tially mark the end of your time at Mānoa, there is no reason you should hold back on anything. Go all out.

Always party responsibly. This is obvious, but this step serves as a reminder.

Project X Grad Party

Sell your soul on eBay for some cash, and then spam the Twitter accounts of major DJs like Steve Aoki or Calvin Harris until one of them agrees to come play a set at the party.

Rent a venue big enough to host all of the 2015 graduates and their guests. Kaka‘ako Waterfront Park has been home to raves in the past and is an ideal candidate. Other options are to take it to the streets of Chinatown to celebrate block party style, or to party on one of the many beaches on O‘ahu.

Create an event page on Facebook and make it an open invite so that friends of your friends can invite their friends and so on. Utilize all other social media platforms like Instagram and Twitter to spread the word of the party. If needed, fi gure out a way to use the campus email listserv to spread the word to all students.

Purchase minor necessities to have at the party. These include a bounce house, chocolate foun-tain, prime rib station, transporta-tion to and from campus, 15 kegs of beer, a full bar with top shelf selections, bartender and celebrity appearances.

Hire cops as your bouncers. Hiring cops almost guarantees you won’t get arrested for the party you’re throwing. Also, this will keep all students under 21 out. Who do they think they are, anyway? This party is for those with bachelor’s degrees only.

Book plane tickets to Las Vegas as party favors for the fi rst 50 peo-ple who RSVP. Just because the grad party is over, doesn’t mean the cele-brations have to stop. Join these spe-cial 50 on their fl ight and continue the festivities in the city of shotgun weddings, blackjack and regret.

Stay in Vegas forever. Seriously. You could work as a party pro-moter after the huge stunt you just pulled. After this night, any club would hire you. Give yourself a round of applause and then take Vegas for all it’s worth.

“Welcome to the real world” is the underlying message behind the diploma every college graduate receives.

Sure, you’ve earned a bachelor’s in some obscure fi eld or fi nally achieved a prestigious doctorate in who-knows-what, but at the end of the day, it’s just a piece of paper that proves your education in fancy calligraphy.

Some graduates actually hang their diplomas on their walls, but there are more practical uses for that piece of paper. Here are fi ve wise and creative ways to make the most of your college diploma.

5 WAYS TO USE YOUR COLLEGE DIPLOMA

Blackout/redaction poetryWhy waste the beautiful calligraphy on your

diploma? When you feel depressed due to post-scholastic nostalgia, or fi nally fi nd the cre-ative sparks that eluded you throughout college, just grab a Sharpie and redact away. Your poem might be the next one hit wonder on Tumblr. Hav-ing 500,000+ notes is something you can add to your résumé, right?

Of course, there are many more ways to use your college diploma. Dollhouse roof, iPad cover, receipt holder, baking paper, cutting board – the possibilities are endless. It is one of the most versatile objects you will own in your lifetime. However, if you insist on leaving it hanging, you will miss out on explor-ing the creative and practical functions of a diploma.

Sleeping pad for your pet Cats will sleep on anything they find lying around. Boxes. Your newly-washed and vacuumed carpet. The top of a refrigerator. Forget those $500 fur-lined beds. Set your diploma down in an isolated part of your living room and before you know it, little Kitty will be curled up and lulled in a blissful afternoon nap, thanks to your years of effort.

Handmade boomerangHeads up, handy and creative people. If you want

to impress your Aussie friends, look no further. With the right tools (extra-sharp scissors, duct tape and an optional handsaw) and the right attitude, anyone can turn a stiff, rigid diploma into a fun boomerang. Use acrylic paint, glitter glue and stickers to decorate. Note: effec-tiveness and return not guaranteed.

Coffee filterIn case you run out of coffee fi lters due to that

morning rush to your new administrative job in town, the parchment paper used for your diploma serves as an excellent strainer. Congratulations, your coffee will now taste like success and hard work. One-time use only.

Lunch matHate leaving crumbs and coffee mug rings all over

your expensive mahogany tables? Look no further. Your diploma’s hard cover makes the perfect lunch mat for plates of every size and shape. You might even be able to squeeze in a little dessert cup and a glass of cham-pagne to celebrate your school-free days.

TIPS FOR FINDING AN APARTMENT

START LOOKING NOW AND MOVE FAST:

NOELLE FUJII NEWS EDITOR

Finding an apartment was not as simple as I thought it would be. Going into the search, I knew I wanted to fi nd a place with mul-tiple bedrooms before the semes-ter ended. I did not know that the search would be so tedious, with apartments I had my eye on being swept up and rented out in a mat-ter of days.

My fi rst tip is to start looking for a place right away. With the semes-ter ending, there will be many post-grads — and continuing students who choose not to dorm — doing the same thing. Start your search on apartment listing websites, such as Trulia and Craigslist. In Honolulu, most renters appear to post their vacancies on Craigslist, as opposed to other sites like Trulia and Zil-low. On the mainland, it seems to be the other way around. Some list-ings could be scams, so be careful. If you are concerned about this, one option would be to go through a real estate agency. Many agen-cies in Hawai‘ i have property man-agers who handle rental listings. In my opinion, going through prop-erty managers is more secure since you know they are certifi ed and are aware of the laws. One site for this is hicentral.com; members of the Honolulu Board of Realtors post all of the listings.

You can also ask friends and family for recommendations about where to look, or to fi nd out if they know of any renters who may have available apartments. If you’re not from the island, this can be espe-cially useful.

Be sure to also set requirements for what you want out of an apart-ment. Do you want the place to have two bathrooms or two bed-rooms? Will you need parking? How much are you willing to pay each month for rent? Be aware that some rentals do not include utility

costs like water and electricity, so you may need to budget for those costs as well.

Once you fi nd a place you like, go check it out as pictures can be misleading. When you get to the apartment, look around for any damage to the building or inside. Also ask any questions you have. If the fridge provided is old, will you be receiving a new one? Since bugs are common in this tropical state, who pays for pest treatments if there is an infestation?

If you like the place, I recom-mend fi lling out an application and have it ready to submit at the showing. If the apartment is in a good neighborhood and is avail-able at a decent price, assume there will be competition for it. You never know how fast an apartment can be taken off the market. Rental applications can take only a day or two to process and an offer can be given right after.

If you don’t get the place you want, however, don’t be disap-pointed. There will always be new listings popping up.

BREE-LATIFAH PETTWAY-DELA CRUZSTAFF WRITER

When I got my fi rst part-time job, I was excited about taking a leap into adulthood – convinced that I was fi nally on my way to inde-pendence. But when the manager handed me tax forms, I had no clue where to start. In an act of despera-tion, I called my mom who patiently

walked me through the paper-work. So much for independence. I felt confused and angry that I was entering adulthood knowing the Pythagorean theorem inside and out, but was completely unaware of something as basic as how to fi ll out a W2.

For many students, entering col-lege not understanding simple concepts such as fi ling for taxes, acquiring insurance and basic loan organization is challenging. Many fi nd themselves using the Inter-net, phoning a friend or playing the guessing game when it comes to fi lling out certain paperwork, and those methods are only reliable to a certain extent.

What if students didn’t have to scour unreliable websites in order to learn these basic skills? If schools required one course that focused on life skills, students would be better prepared to handle real world situations. Designing a syllabus around common skills that everyone should possess would not be diffi cult, especially if students were given the opportunity to sug-gest topics before the course was created. Many of the subjects that students would like taught are not

objectively diffi cult – the problem is that younger people are unfa-miliar with certain life acts. Being given the opportunity to ask ques-tions about W2s, or learning what to look for when renting an apart-ment would save students a lot of future hassle if they were educated about these matters beforehand.

“I don’t understand why it’s required that we take second-lan-

guage courses, but not a life skills class,” said Deidra Moore, a junior studying anthropology at the Uni-versity of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa. “If [a second language] is required then they [the university] should at least provide me with another class that’s more applicable to every-day living and will benefi t me on a higher level.”

The course would not have to be a huge weight on students. It could be pass/fail, and freshmen would be required to take it during their fi rst or second semester of school. Students would be graded based on attendance and completion of short assignments such as dummy tax forms or apartment applica-tions. Every semester a different professor from each college could teach the course. Professors would not get tired of teaching the course, as there are many professors within each college who could take turns. Furthermore, by having a professor from each college available, stu-dents would be able to take the class alongside those with simi-lar interests. Certain portions of the class could be tailored to the interests of students in similar fi elds, such as the units on fi nding

a job or whether or not graduate school is worthwhile. “Shidler has something like that; it’s a class on personal fi nances, FIN 301,” said Robinson Nyugen, a senior majoring in business. “It’s major restricted, but it would be a pretty useful class for everyone to take.”

Some might argue that a course like this is not academic, or that it would provide information that should be taught by parents. The latter is not always the case, and many courses that are not consid-ered traditionally “academic” are taught regardless. Many schools aim to aid in the development of well-rounded individuals, and that requires much more than students knowing how to divide fractions, breeze through fi ve-page papers on “Hamlet” and being able to dis-sect worms. Not all skills can be taught using a textbook, so it is time for educators to take a look at the current curriculum and make adjustments.

“I wish there was a class like that I could’ve taken,” said Tylor Garcia, a senior graduating with a BA in psychology. “I’m not ready for the ‘real-world’ like dealing with taxes, buying a car, so on. A basic class on life skills would’ve been really helpful.”

A life skills course would prepare students for the “real world,” mak-ing it useful for years to come. This class would not be diffi cult to imple-ment, its syllabus would be sim-ple, students would appreciate the knowledge and all of the informa-tion conveyed would be practical. The University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa should take a course like this into consideration, as there are few downsides and the benefi ts would be long lasting. Of course, I am also sure that employers will appreciate the decrease in college students who give dumbfounded looks when asked for tax information.

If [a second language] is required then they [the university] should at least provide me with another class that’s more applicable to everyday living.

Although the Peace Corps is half

a century old, it’s seeing a growth in applications thanks to what the organization describes as an easier application process.

Recent changes allow prospective volunteers to choose a desired coun-try to serve in, serve in their coun-try of origin and serve as a couple – whether heterosexual or same-sex.

“It’s no longer just teaching English to middle school and high school kids, but teaching people how to use the internet and how to promote their business through social media,” said Grace Macruder, Peace Corps Hawai‘ i representa-tive. “It’s teaching biology and get-ting girls interested in math and science. As development needs change, Peace Corps is rising to meet that need.”

THE PEACE CORPS

Since its establishment by John F. Kennedy in 1961, the Peace Corps has evolved into an organization that transcends borders, offering new volunteer openings in health, agriculture, environment, edu-cation and youth and economic development.

“Volunteering experience is var-ied from a typical rural experi-ence or it can be a really high-tech experience based on your skill set,” Magruder said. “The only two requirements are that you are 18 years or older and you are an American citizen.”

In Hawai‘ i, the Peace Corps his-tory began with a training program developed from 1962-1972 through which 7,500 volunteers were sent to Hilo, Hawai‘ i. The Hawai‘ i train-ing facility was considered an ideal location due to climate and diversity in culture and was used until 1971 when in-country training for volun-teers replaced the need for facilities.

Today, the Peace Corps commu-nity is made of more than 215,000 current and returned volunteers that served a total of 140 countries. The organization has not faltered in employing new, constantly evolving

strategies to aid in foreign relations and diplomacy.

THE NEW GENERATION OF VOLUNTEERS

Peace Corps volunteers decide where they will volunteer, a change that Magruder stressed will greatly affect the Peace Corps.

The regions that volunteers can choose from are Africa, Latin Amer-ica, Eastern Europe, Asia and Cen-tral Asia, the Caribbean, North Africa, the Middle East and the Pacifi c Islands.

Volunteering opportunities can vary from rural to technologically advanced based on skill set. Cur-rently, urban assignments like business development, computer technology or teaching at the uni-versity-level are more prominent in

the Peace Corps, Magruder said.In addition to fl exibility in choos-

ing assigments and regions, volun-teers can create their own clubs or programs through secondary assignments so long as they suit the needs of the community.

Magruder said that she worked with small businesses in West Africa to strengthen product development, qualify control and marketing by arranging trade fairs and assisting with social media platforms.

Though, as a return volunteers, Magruder said that her experience not choosing her location was more fulfi lling than she originally hoped for and encouraged applicants not to be fearful of trekking into the unknown.

“I tell applicants if you’re not set on a particular country, leave yourself open to surprises and say that you’re willing to go anywhere,” Magruder said.

VOLUNTEERING IN YOUR COUNTRY OF ORIGIN

Through a more inclusive approach, the Peace Corps hopes to further erase stereotypes and break social borders.

Before, volunteers with prior cit-izenship in foreign countries could not volunteer in that country after obtaining American citizenship. In a more-inclusive approach for both volunteers and the countries involved, volunteers can now serve in their country of origin.

“People who have ties to a par-ticular place want to bridge that exchange and go from the U.S. and take the resources they’ve had here and help develop their homeland or this land that they’ve got a con-nection to,” Magruder said. “I think that’s really important, especially in

Hawai‘ i because everyone here has a connection to a different culture.”

COUPLES IN THE PEACE CORPS

There is a difference in applying as an individual and applying as a cou-ple. Volunteers can serve with their spouses on assignments if they have the proper documentation – a mar-riage license or an affi davit.

Couples must also qualify for the same sector, health coverage and specify that they are applying as a couple, Magruder said. The most recent change is that same sex couples can now serve in the Peace Corps.

For volunteers, serving in the Peace Corps will be the catalyst to greater career candidacy along with many other benefi ts. These benefi ts are earned, though, as the minimum amount of service is two years.

GRADUATE PROGRAMSCurrently in the Paul D. Cover-

dell Fellows Program for the Wil-

liam S. Richardson School of Law, Magruder is involved in one of the two graduate programs available to volunteers that have many avail-able benefi ts.

The Coverdell scholarship was just recently added to the law school, making it one of more than 80 uni-versities in the United States and is available to all Peace Corps volun-teers. Volunteers get lifetime eligibil-ity, full tuition remission and stipends.

Master’s International is a Peace Corps program tied with more than 90 academic institutions that allows volunteers to serve while pursuing a graduate degree. This program does not offer scholar-ships but offers many academic and fi nancial benefi ts like student loan deferment or cancellation.

“Peace Corps provides that area and the opportunity to explore the world,” Magruder said. “And then when you get back, Peace Corps volunteers have what’s called a non-competitive eligibility or NCE.”

NCE is a hiring status that pro-vides greater access to volunteers with minimum qualifi cations apply-ing to U.S. Federal Government agency positions. After service, all volunteers are given a three-month readjustment allowance.

BECOMING A GLOBAL CITIZEN

For those interested in taking the next step towards the Peace Corps, a competitive selection process must be expected as more options are accessible to potential volunteers.

As the offi cial Peace Corps recruiter for the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, Magruder encour-ages applicants to volunteer locally and invest time learning a language through classes in order to better improve their chances. Magruder also encourages writing down even the slightest bit of qualifying infor-mation when applying, including previous jobs or hobbies.

“Things that people assume are gonna be really impressive on a resume actually aren’t weighed the heaviest, and things that they think are not that big of a deal end up really shining through,” Magruder said.

As with any life-changing deci-

sion, there are concerns that willarise in the decision making pro-cess. Visit the Peace Corps offi ce at the Queen Lili‘uokalani Center for Student Services Room 209 to learn more about the Peace Corps.

BAC NAMDANIELLA REYES

SENIOR STAFF WRITER

With fi nals rolling in, there are few things more comforting than a warm bowl of soup. Bac Nam is a small hole-in-the-wall restaurant on South King Street that offers authentic Vietnamese cuisine, including the classic bowl of pho.

Run by a husband and wife team, the vast menu includes dishes like spring rolls, crab curry, green papaya salad and much more. Pho is one of the cheapest items on the menu, with a regu-lar size costing $6.95. The regular is more than enough for two, but there’s also a large size available. Meat options include rare beef, chicken or beef balls.

Whenever I go, I order the regular size pho with beef balls. The pho broth is rich and aromatic without being overly salty, while the beef balls and noodles add the right amount of texture and fl avor. You get generous amounts of beef and noodles for a comforting, satisfying dish. The soup comes with a plate of basil leaves and bean sprouts, so add however much you desire.

The decor isn’t fl ashy and there’s a small seating capacity, but prices are reasonable and the owners are friendly. It’s also BYOB and near the Blaisdell Arena, mak-ing this a good pre-show dinner spot. If you’ve only had pho from the Bale on campus, do yourself a favor and try Bac Nam.

LAZY GRAHAM/OREO CRUSTBubbies, on Coyne Street, is

famous for its ice cream pies and delicious Oreo crusts. For those who like the variety of textures in their ice cream diet but are too lazy or poor to buy ice cream pies, lazy crusts are your new best friend. Smash Oreo cookies or graham crackers into crumbs and sprinkle them onto your ice cream. This is a decision you will not regret.

CEREALHere is another suggestion for

those texture lovers. Sprinkle a handful of your favorite cereal on top of your ice cream, giving your dessert a delightful crunch.

CANDY TOPPINGThere are many ice cream fl a-

vors that mimic some of your favor-ite candy bars. Want to make your own? Put your favorite candy bar in your ice cream. Chop your Snickers, Twix, Reese’s and Milky Ways, and sprinkle a generous helping of the good stuff on top of your ice cream.

HOT COCOA POWDERSometimes you have a strong

craving for chocolate paired with a large amount of vanilla ice cream. Your craving could be satisfi ed instantly with a simple packet of hot cocoa. Simply mix the cocoa packet with vanilla ice cream for your chocolate-y treat.

PEANUT BUTTERThe taste of a peanut butter

milkshake is almost good enough to bring you to tears. However, the price of peanut butter milkshakes are high enough to bring you to tears. Instead, mixing peanut but-ter with vanilla ice cream is a deli-cious and affordable substitute.

POTATO CHIPSWant to add some texture and

crunch to your life? When you desire a crunch and a bit of salt, chips are a convenient topping. Common chips brands that work well with ice cream include Lays and Kettle chips. For some extra sweetness, coat the chips in chocolate.

JAM/JELLYFor those who get the straw-

berry sundaes at McDonalds, this one is for you. Drizzle your favor-ite jam, jelly or preserve on top of your ice cream to give it that extra fruity fl avor. You could also add fresh fruits if you happen to have any, but jams are easier to store and last much longer than fresh produce.

The next time you scoop your-self a bowl of ice cream, think about what you have lying around. Never settle for great. Shoot for amazing. Bring out the best in that bowl of ice cream.

STEPHANIE KIMCONTRIBUTING WRITER

Hawai‘i has been absent of a Chi-potle-style Mexican restaurant until this past month when Oahu Mex-ican Grill (OMG), opened its doors and offered a simple, affordable and almost identical menu to Chi-potle right down the road from the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa.

The setting is casual, contempo-rary and small, seating less than 15 people. There are two restrooms, one for men and one for women. The restaurant seemed like a place to grab your meal and go.

OMG offers a simple menu sim-ilar to Chipotle, a chain restaurant specializing in burritos and tacos, and the pricing is reasonable. You can buy an entrée, not including sides or a drink, for under $10.

To order, you wait in line while the staff takes your order in an assembly line fashion, passing

down your order to each section: the fi lling station, topping station and to check out. There are a vari-ety of customizable entrees: burri-tos, tacos, salads and bowls. Fillings include chicken, steak, carnitas, barbacoa, roasted veggies and bean and cheese, plus toppings such as rice and sour cream. The majority of the toppings are free, but it’s extra for guacamole ($2) or extra meat ($4). In addition, they serve a kids’ menu and sides like chips and salsa, rice and beans.

The pricing of the entrees is based on the fi lling you choose: the grilled chicken ($8.25), grilled steak ($9.25), kalua carnitas ($9.25), bar-bacoa ($9.25), roasted veggies ($8) and the beans and cheese ($6.50).

I ordered a bowl, a burrito with-out the tortilla, with grilled chicken marinated in a chipotle sauce, all the free toppings, choosing the Spanish fried rice over the cilan-tro-lime rice. The grilled chicken

alone is true to its description, giv-ing off a smoky taste, but stands just at that. It had nothing else con-tributing to the smokiness, making it taste bland. With all the toppings I chose, it made for a satisfying meal. Each topping complemented one another, from the Spanish fried rice to the corn salsa and the fi re-roasted chipotle sauce.

My companion ordered a burrito with the barbacoa, which is slow-cooked braised beef in a mild-ly-spicy chili blend, all the free toppings, and the cilantro-lime rice. The barbacoa was well-sea-soned and had a slow-braised taste – all the spicy chili was blended in. The only suggestion: a little more sour cream.

According to its website, OMG serves quality ingredients from the freshest produce: homemade salsa and guacamole, local and grass-fed beef, pork from Niman Ranch, and meats that are all-natural, ste-

roid-free, hormone-free and antibi-otic-free.

The service at Oahu MexicanGrill is what you can expect of anyrestaurant in its opening month: a little nervous and jumbled, ensur-ing that customers are happy withwhat they ordered. When I stepped through the door, I observed two people before me that had mixed up orders, but the staff apologizedand offered more fi lling to make itup to them. They were also hesitant at serving the toppings and endedup skimping on a lot of them.

I would come back to this restaurant to try out the differ-ent styles of entrees and see how well they progress after their fi rst month jitters. It may not be authentic Mexican food, but it will be the closest I can get to a Chipo-tle on this island.

CHERRY ON TOP

AIKO MURAKAMISTAFF WRITER

You scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream. There is a good reason behind all this screaming. Ice cream is delicious. However, if you eat ice cream plain or use normal toppings such as hot fudge or whipped cream, you have not unlocked the true potential that it holds. Believe it or not, whether you get the Meadow-Gold value tub, the Dreyer’s half-gallon or the Ben & Jerry’s pint, there are ways to make your ice cream taste even better.

WHAT TO BUY AND WHAT TO TOSS IN YOUR MAKEUP BAG

ELA CRUZ AND SHIINA LOSCIUTO

Ever since we discovered makeup, every application has been a new exper-iment and a learning process on our faces. Sometimes you buy a product and after only one use you realize that you’ve wasted your money. Whether it doesn’t blend well, or it isn’t as pigmented as you’d like, money spent on makeup could be wasted. You should always be cautious of what products you are applying to your face, so taking care of your products is important too.

EYESHADOW Replace powder shadows every three months to avoid transferring bacteria from the prod-uct to the eyes.

EYELINER Whether it’s liquid, pencil or gel, eyeliner should be replaced every three months as well. Pencils will last longer than liquid if you continuously sharpen them, but the pencil is offi cially dead once it develops a thin white fi lm.

LIPSTICKReplace lipsticks and glosses after a year, but toss it if you’ve been sick. The lipstick has gone bad when it gets hard or no lon-ger spreadable.

MASCARASwitch up mascaras every two to three months to avoid redness and itchiness in the eye.

FOUNDATION The majority of foundations are water-based, so bacteria love them. Once the seal is bro-ken, foundation can last six to 12 months.Keep foundations out of moist environments, such as your bathroom, and away from heat, as those conditions can encourage spoiling. Applying expired foundation can cause irri-tation and breakouts.

CONCEALERConcealers in either powder or stick form can last up to two years. Toss it when the shade starts to shift away from the original coloring.

ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS TINTED BROW GEL & BROW WIZ ($22, $21)

Using a smear-proof brow gel achieves more defi ned looking eyebrows to frame your face. It’s also a celebrity favorite amongst the Kardashian Klan.

MAC LIPSTICK ($16)Russian Red & Media have a fan-fol-lowing amongst customers. The lip-sticks are priced a little more than drugstore products, but last forever.

MAKE UP FOREVER HD MICROFINISH POWDER ($34)

When you buy an expensive setting powder, you can sometimes skimp on pricey foundation. Make Up Forever’s Microfi nish Powder is translucent and works for all skin tones and doesn’t dry out skin.

BENEFIT COSMETICS THEY’RE REAL! PUSH-UP LINER ($24)

When buying a precise liquid eyeliner, you don’t want one that will smear over time. Benefi t’s 24 hour long last-ing liquid liner is conveniently water-proof and won’t budge unless you wipe it off with makeup remover. It also won the 2014 Best of Beauty and Beauty Breakthrough Allure Maga-zine Award.

DIOR DIORSHOW WATERPROOF MASCARA ($25)

This waterproof volumizing mascara lengthens eyelashes to a new extreme. This cult favorite was inspired by Dior makeup artists who would use plush toothbrushes to coat models’ lashes backstage for volume.

E.L.F ULTIMATE EYE SHADOW PALETTE, 144 PIECE ($15)

Containing more colors than you can name, this palette is easily the per-fect go-to for dressing up for any occasion. Ranging from neutral colors to bold vibrant colors that give you a 90s- esque vibe, you’ll have a color to go with nearly anything.

E.L.F. COSMETICS 12 PIECE BRUSH SET ($12)

With all of the basic brushes makeup enthusiasts should have, this brush kit is perfect for beginners, or any-one looking to expand their brush collection at a cheap price.

ARDELL FASHION LASHES ($3.50)Face it, long-lush volumized eyelashes are a must. The kit comes with a sim-ple step-by-step tutorial on how to apply eyelashes. So, whether you slap on falsies for a night out on the town, or use them for an everyday look, this is a must-have.

While you can fi nd cheap options of makeup at drug-stores and Walmart, there are some products that are worth the splurge. Products that are worth the splurge are often made with materials that last longer and are better for your skin. By being better quality, they’ll show up not only better on your face, but in pictures as well.

Often, people fall under the impression that in order to look like a million bucks, you’ve got to be willing to spend it. Although you may feel the need to splurge on select beauty products, there are many products that you can fi nd for a decent price, that still do the trick.

It may be hard to let go of the makeup that you have splurged on, but it is important to take care of your face fi rst. Take the life expectancies of makeup into account you’re sifting through your makeup bag.

‘DA BUS’IKAIKA SHIVELEY

ASSOCIATE FEATURES EDITOR

For most students without a car, the bus is a primary mode of transportation. With bus passes being “free” to students, it makes for a cheap alternative to driving. Unfortunately, the kinks and traffi c make travelling by bus diffi cult. The Bus, the Hawai‘ i-based bus com-pany, has an app titled “Da Bus” to address such issues.

When opening the app, users are given the option to fi nd or search for a nearby bus stop. Using loca-tion services, the app pinpoints your location. Operating on Goo-gle Maps, the app has the option to view through satellite as well as the less detailed “map” option.

Sometimes, the map will show the entire mainland U.S., and it is tedious to zoom-in and re-locate the Hawaiian islands.

Selecting a specifi c bus stop brings up the schedule of incom-ing buses. The accuracy of this depends on whether the bus has GPS, which is usually only on the newer models of the buses. If GPS is available, users are able to track the selected bus through its route. This doesn’t negate that a bus can come earlier or later than expected as the GPS can be inaccurate in weak signal zones.

Overall, “Da Bus” gives me mixed opinions. When it works, the app is handy, but the instances it refuses to cooperate, I pull out my hair in anger. If you depend on the bus to get around, I recommend you download the app – just be pre-pared to get frustrated.

Perhaps the most anticipated movie of the summer, “Jurassic World” contin-ues the beloved franchise where 2001’s “Jurassic Park III” left off. Taking place 20 years after the fi rst fi lm, the movie focuses on the park, which is under the control of a new company – Mas-rani Global. The park has now been open for some time, with millions of visitors a year. But like any corporation, greed has caused Masrani Global to experiment for more revenue. This results in the creation of a new hybrid dinosaur, the Indominous Rex, which escapes its enclosure.

Chris Pratt portrays Owen, a dinosaur researcher who specializes in raptors. With the threat of the dangerous Indom-inous Rex at hand, Owen must track down the creature before more destruction and deaths occur. Although the fi lm is being released over a decade after the last fi lm, expect to see many nostalgic fac-tors within “Jurassic World,” including the original T-Rex.

Marvel has been riding the success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) since its debut of “Iron Man” in 2008. The MCU’s second chapter, Phase 2, will be coming to an end with the fi nal Dis-ney-affi liated Marvel fi lm of 2015: “Ant-Man.” Although casual movie-goers may not be familiar with the hero, his long comic history dates back to 1962. In the fi lm, Paul Rudd takes the lead as Scott Lang, a criminal turned hero who is given a suit to become the Ant-Man. The suit

allows Scott to shrink down to the min-iscule size of an ant but increase his strength tremendously. Even with the departure of the talented Edgar Wright, the fi lm still contains a humorous side that fi ts with the MCU.

These emotions are depicted as individual characters including: Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust and Sadness. From the released trailers, the emotions appear to fi ght for control of Riley’s mind.

Amy Poehler, Bill Hader, Lewis Black

Already a hotly debated fi lm for the summer, “Fantastic 4” has caused an uproar from hardcore comic fans who are angered by the changes of the fi lm. This frustration stemmed from Johnny Storm being African-American despite his sister Sue Storm being white. How-ever, the most recent trailer reveals that Sue storm is the adopted sister to Johnny which cleared up confusion. An addi-tional change is that the four members teleport to an alternate universe instead of traveling via spacecraft.

20th Century Fox may be trying to sep-arate itself from 2005’s failed “Fantastic 4,” which suffered critically. This grittier iteration, while controversial to some, looks to catapult the franchise back into the spotlight as well as giving the care and respect that this superhero team deserves.

It’s been nearly 30 years since the third installment of the “Mad Max” fran-chise made its way into theaters, but the wait is over. “Mad Max: Fury Road” has a new face as Tom Hardy steps in for the role of Max who was previously played by Mel Gibson. In this dystopian world, oil has faded from existence, creating an apocalyptic world. In the fi lm, Max is captured by a group of thugs and must escape to help Furiosa (Charlize Theron) travel across the desert. Practical effects

become less common in fi lms as the years progress, but for writer and director George Miller, it’s a must. The innovative action sequences showcased in the trail-ers proves that CGI isn’t the only way to make an entertaining fi lm. With the May 15 release, this fi lm is the perfect getaway once the semester is fi nished.

In its fi rst 20-win season in nearly ten years, the University of Hawai‘ i men’s volleyball team concluded its run Tuesday, falling to Penn State in four sets in an NCAA play-in match.

The Warriors fought for survival after fi nding themselves down two sets in the match. A strong show-ing in the third frame would force a fourth and drama-fi lled set. The fourth set saw eight lead changes and 20 ties throughout; neither side allowing more than a three-point differential. The ‘Bows staved off three PSU match points, but a UH attacking error ultimately gave the Nittany Lions the 27-25 victory and ended the team’s season.

Along with team accolades, fi ve Warriors were awarded both all-MPSF and all-American honors.

Considered one of the best mid-dle blockers in the nation, senior Taylor Averil earned his second First-Team All-America honors for the second consecutive year, rank-ing second in the country in hitting percentage (.483) while averaging 1.30 blocks per set. Averill was also elected to the all-MPSF First-Team.

Senior Brook Sedore was elected to the Second-Team after earning an honorable mention nomination last season. Sedore was selected to the all-MPSF fi rst-team along with Averill.

Junior Sinisa Zarkovic and soph-omore Jennings Franciskovic made the honorable mention list for the fi rst time.

After sitting out an early portion of the season, Zarkovic returned to post a pair of double-doubles and concluded the season with 15 matches in double-fi gure kills.

Kanetake fi nishes the season at

third-best in UH rally-scoring his-tory with 305 digs. The libero also ranks fi fth in the nation in digs per set and was named to the all-MPSF second-team along with Francis-kovic and Zarkovic.

Franciskovic fi nished sixth in the nation in assists averaging 10.82 per game. In a thrilling match against perennial rival Pepperdine, Fran-ciskovic posted a conference-lead-ing 70 assists that propelled UH to a fi ve-set win over the Waves.

Though the ‘Bows were pre-dicted to fi nish middle of the pack in preseason polls, the Warriors far exceeded expectations, sitting atop the AVCA Coaches Poll for fi ve straight weeks, fi nishing second in the MPSF regular season and main-tained a 16-match winning streak, the team’s longest since 2006.

By the time David Matlin offi -cially took over as athletics direc-tor at the end of April, he had already hired a new men’s basket-ball coach.

Aside from his fi rst major deci-sion at the helm of a department expected to report more than a $3.5 million defi cit this year, Mat-lin says the school faces a larger choice than the ones that lead to wins and losses.

“I think the biggest challenge we have for ourselves is that we have to defi ne who we really want to be,” Matlin said. “There’s so many mis-sions in collegiate athletics – it’s about student-athletes, it’s about education. They say it’s like a busi-ness but it’s not just a business. It’s

more complex than that.”Because of that complexity, Mat-

lin has decided to not only meet with department advisors, but also two student-athlete representatives from each of the 21 programs on campus. Some players brought lists of potential improvements while some brought stories of why they chose UH, but many of the meet-ings reminded Matlin of the power of the state.

“The fact that we’re Hawai‘ i’s team is a great advantage,” Matlin said. “People care here.”

Yet the career that placed him at his “dream job” at UH wasn’t one that began in collegiate ath-letics or Hawai‘ i, but instead Major League Baseball. Inspired by his father’s career in baseball, Mat-lin graduated with a degree in economics from the University of

Michigan and landed an intern-ship with the Houston Astros. After earning a full-time position with the team, Matlin was happy, but his life was at a turning point.

“I loved it there and had a lot of opportunities there and I thought I was going to spend my entire career there,” Matlin said.

Throughout his time with the Astros, Matlin anticipated a career as a nomad, moving from team to team in MLB. That was until his wife wished to return home to Hawai‘ i to start a family. From that point he realized another path was available for him.

“Maybe there’s another way. Maybe you go pick a place you want to make home, and then you make the best of it there,” Matlin said.

After moving his family to where he wanted to settle down, Mat-

lin realized that he had no job and no local connections. Matlin even-tually took his pending Master’s in Business Administration from the Shidler College of Business and turned it into a job with the ticket offi ce at UH. Over 20 years later,

he holds the top position in the department.

Now he faces the challenge of a changing collegiate landscape and a new cost of tuition deci-sion by the NCAA that will put an even bigger strain on the depart-ment’s budget. Chancellor Robert Bley-Vroman said that he believes Matlin has the “ability and the agility” to the lead the depart-ment through these issues.

“The job is harder than I thought it was going to be, and I still don’t even know very much,” Matlin said. “But I think the possibility to get better is greater than I thought. Hard is ok. We have a real good chance to get better.”

With less than a month on the job, Matlin agreed with his pre-decessor, Ben Jay, about making changes to the revenue streams. One of his points of research during the application process was Jay’s report on the depart-ment’s budget released earlier this

year, which outlined some of the school’s struggles fi nancially.

“I think we defi nitely need to make some model changes. Our funding model is maybe a little obsolete,” Matlin said. “We have to get the most out of what we have. We have to invest our resources wisely. I’ve seen this my whole life. If we do that, then we get more.”

Despite the budgets, the TV contracts and the challenges ahead, Matlin plans to continue to meet with student-athletes throughout his tenure as athletics director. He hopes they will help to remind him of why he’s there and what the school is capable of.

“At the end of the day, like most people, I just want to be inspired.”

Terminal velocityHow Don Bailey wants to restructure the Rainbow Warrior offense

FILE PHOTO / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Don Bailey spent four years as the offensive coordinator for Idaho State University in the FCS.

BLAKE TOLENTINOWEB SPECIALLIST

New Hawai‘ i football offensive coordinator Don Bailey wants to go fast.

“Three plays a minute. Twenty seconds,” Bailey said when asked what his optimum pace would be. “Three plays per minute is about what Baylor does. I know we were at 2.86 plays at Idaho State per one minute in clock, real clock.”

It’s a lofty goal for the Rainbow Warrior offense, which had failed to produce anything of note in the past season outside of former starting running back Joey Iosefa’s heavy workloads. Loftier still when considering that Bailey is working with a team that has spent the last three years immersed in the tradi-tional West Coast Offense that head coach Norm Chow brought with him, an offense fi lled with many complex concepts and plays.

Of course, speed is not Bailey’s only goal. He wants to maintain con-trol, quickly adding that he would only be maintaining that break neck pace for portions of the game. They can, after all, only go as fast as their execution permits. The signifi cance of Bailey’s desired pace is not only that he expects the offense the play faster, it’s a sign of greater change in both the offense, and the coaching structure of the team.

A CHANGE IN VELOCITY“First downs lead to touch-

downs,” Baily said. “That’s our phi-losophy.”

It’s a notion that seems obvi-ous; moving the ball is the most basic purpose of the offensive unit. Bailey’s words mean more when viewed in the context of what Hawai‘ i had accomplished in the past season.

As offenses go, the Rainbow War-riors didn’t make much of an impact on opposing defenses. Scoring 20.9 points per game, they ranked 108th in the nation. They averaged 364.4 yards per game, good for 98th in the country. As for Bailey’s prized fi rst downs, the ‘Bows were medio-cre, producing only 254 fi rst downs over 13 games to place 76th in the NCAA. Hawai‘ i lacked an identity and failed to consistently generate yards or points.

Meanwhile, Bailey was orches-trating an Idaho State offense pro-ducing record numbers. His Bengal offense fi nished the season averag-ing 40.3 points per game and 562 yards per game. Had they been a Football Bowl Subdivision team, the Bengals would have placed in the Top 10 nationally in both metrics. Lending credence to Bailey’s phi-losophy, ISU gained 335 fi rst downs despite playing one less game.

The fi rst step to achieving that level of success comes from adap-tation. Bailey exists in a fl uid state, a reactionary to his surroundings. He believes that versatility is important to having a successful offense.

“You have to adapt the offense,” Bailey said. “So it’s really not about ‘the scheme,’ it’s about your scheme but adapted to your players.”

“Everything is about multiplic-

ity now a days, and that’s where the game’s gone,” he said.

BEYOND THE NUMBERSBailey isn’t just a new hire. He

represents a major change in the way of Chow, and not just because he’s opening up the offense.

Bailey contradicts many of the philosophies Chow has instilled in the Rainbow Warriors. Where Chow

has always favored a traditional play book with answers for every defensive look, Bailey’s expected pace will require the offense to go in a different direction. Keeping everyone on the same page in a faster paced offense is a challenge. Maintaining synchronicity within a fast moving offense requires a dif-ferent approach, as can be seen by how an offense distills itself during a two minute drill.

“Make it simple,” Bailey said. “They gotta play as a unit.”

Bailey wants to run an adaptive attack, tailoring his fi nal offense around the strengths of the play-ers. Unlike Chow, one of those who contributed to the development of the West Coast Offense, Bailey does not have a distinct philosophy, pre-ferring instead to change his gen-

eral tactics according to the players instead of teaching players to play a certain way.

“Right now we’re just trying to get an understanding of our talent and matching what they can do, what they can’t do, and putting it all together,” Bailey said. “Yeah, we want to be able to attack downfi eld and run the football and control the ball as well.”

Bailey doesn’t consider himself locked into any particular prefer-ences for how his offense moves the ball. Despite running a balanced offense at Idaho State, featuring a 54/46 split of passing plays to run-ning plays, he credits his players for driving those decisions.

“You have to have guys too, but at the same time, but again, what’s balance? Balance to one guy could be 70 percent pass to 30 percent run with who you have. So a lot of it has to do with who you got, how it all comes together and who can make plays,” Bailey said.

However, none of these shifts in offensive philosophy are as import-ant as the shift in the coaching dynamic that Chow created when he chose Bailey. Bailey is the fi rst offen-sive coordinator the coaching staff

has had since Tommy Lee in Chow’sinaugural season. For the fi rst timein two seasons, Chow has relin-quished the play calling duties. It’s asign of Chow’s maturation as a headcoach, an admission that one mancannot do everything by himself.

On the surface, Bailey’s hir-ing can be seen as an attempt byChow to rejuvenate a ploddingoffense with fresh ideas. Morethan that, however, the move is anattempt change his identity as ahead coach.

For three years, Chow had beenresistant to change. He demandedcontrol of the offense, often electingto call plays from the fi eld insteadof having a coordinator or assis-tant make the calls from the booth.In those three years, the offense haslacked consistency and potency. Afterthree years of attempting to force asolution, Chow is adapting. GivingBailey a chance to run things his wayis a new direction from Chow, andone that could pay off in a big way.

For his part, Bailey is confi dentthat he can work with Chow’s con-cepts to produce something special.

“[Chow]’s a very experienced guyin terms of offense,” Bailey said.“We still do some of the thingsthat he’s done here in the past andsome of my background matchesthat with him, but for the most part,I’m calling everything.”

The move to give Bailey thereigns of the offense is an exper-iment for Chow. If successful, notonly will the offense move faster,but the whole program will alsomove in a positive direction.

Right now we’re just trying to get an understanding of our talent and matching what they can do, what they can’t do, and putting it all together.

MAGGIE MORRISSTAFF WRITER

For college students, it is often diffi cult to eat well, the stu-dent-athletes of the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa are no excep-tion. They face the same problems as they are also feeding their other half – the athlete.

While many college students do not have the luxury of buying fresh food, choosing to pay for the cheapest meals over the generally pricey whole foods tends to be the most realistic option for many of students at UH. Living off a cheap junk food diet may work for some college students but for athletes, it is not an option.

“At times, I eat about four times a day because I have a high metab-olism and run around a lot in practice. I cook at home, I live off campus in my own apartment and some of the boys come over and we just cook together,” Warrior football linebacker Lance Williams said.

For athletes like Williams, main-taining top physical strength and giving the body the necessary nutrients is crucial. Whether it’s after practice or before compe-tition, different sport programs try to feed its athletes meals in order to lighten the fi nancial burdens of food shopping.

“They have a breakfast buffet for us after 6 a.m. workouts on Mon-day, Wednesday and Friday,” men’s golfer Chad McLay said. “I’m not as conscious about my diet as I should be because I don’t have the money, but I snack on trail mix a lot.”

Keeping up with high intensity training without the essential nutri-ents can be harmful to the body. It becomes not a matter of how many meals a day an athlete needs to consume to refuel the amount

of calories that are burned within each training session, but rather an awareness of meeting the bare minimum nutritional requirements in order to condition the body.

“I stick to my diet and just don’t eat a lot of sweets, don’t drink a lot, don’t eat of a lot of ice cream and stuff like that. I focus on carbs and protein, that’s my diet,” said wom-en’s swimmer Jasmine Alkhaldi. “We work out so much so we have to be aware of what we eat.”

Eating large, healthy meals to

replenish energy levels is the price of what it takes to be a top athlete. At the same time, the price of food demands just as much from the pockets of student-athletes.

“We do feed our kids dinner every day of practice and the din-ners are balanced nutritionally. Baseball players throughout history have just an awful diet based on eating just McDonald’s for an entire season of minor league baseball because that’s all they can afford,” baseball head coach Mike Trapasso said. “Our kids for the most part work on that themselves and that’s honestly something in the future that I think that I need to do a bet-ter job of.”

In 2014, then-Connecticut bas-ketball player Shabazz Napier claimed he would go to sleep starv-ing most nights. Shortly after the interview, the NCAA made major changes to its rules regarding the limitations of three meals a day or

a stipend to athletes. Since April 15, 2014, the NCAA approved new rules granting Division I student-athletes unlimited meals and snacks which would allow schools to provide ath-letes meals accordingly.

“We grind the kids and they’re burning up to six, seven or eight thousand calories a day so they gotta consume at least that to maintain,” football strength coach Gary Beamer said. “It’s tricky, espe-cially in the summertime when we can’t feed them … It’s harder

because there are kids who don’t have a lot of money and they’re college students, but they have to be really proactive about their nutrition habits.”

Every sport requires different strategies that calls for a specifi c type of athlete, and for every ath-lete, there are many specialized training stresses that rely on spe-cialized dietary needs in order to perform at the highest level.

“Step one, meet essential nutrition needs, vitamins, min-erals, proteins, essential fatty acids. About 45 nutrients and if just one of those essential nutri-ents are lacking or low, you won’t have a problem for a while,” Dr. Alan Tichenal of human nutri-tion said. “But eventually those bags of chemicals will drain and then functions that are depen-dent on it won’t work right and in extreme cases, people even died from nutrient defi ciencies in the

old days. So it’s not unheard of, and that’s the ultimate symptom of nutrient defi ciency is dying.”

For athletes, it is important to know what the training stresses are, what types of goals are made in order for their bodies to trans-form, ways to build muscle and if there is a need to lose fat. Not only is it emphasized to focus on what to eat, but also knowing what to avoid becomes equally as important.

“Never drink alcohol. Alcohol is a poison. It’s everything that you

don’t want in a substance,” Beamer said. “Number one, you drink it and it always comes with poor choices. Number two it’s going to dehydrate you. Number three, it will impede muscle proteins ... so I would say to student-athletes everywhere, stay away from alcohol, it’s not worth it. It’s going to make you signifi -cantly underperform to your ath-letic potential.”

The success of a completed tackle or a faster lap in the pool begins with breakfast and ends in dinner.

“I eat breakfast after morning workouts. My options are rice, potatoes, bacon, corned beef hash and sausage. For lunch I’ll get a burger or sushi from campus center or maybe pizza hut from campus center. My dinner tends to be meat, preferably steak, and pasta.”

“I eat a lot of meat and carbs actually, like I’m half Asian so I love rice and bread and a lot of meat to keep up with the day. I love red meat.”

“What I do is I wake up and have breakfast, just have eggs or a bowl of cereal. For lunch I’ll usually pack a sandwich and some chips and bring it to school with me. Throughout the day I’m snacking on pro-tein bars. For dinner, usually steak or chicken.”

“I like pasta, chicken with pasta, I try stay away from rice because it makes me feel heavy. ... I drink a lot [of] sports drinks and a lot of water, and just stick to the basics.”

The Rainbow Wahine softball team saved their best perfor-mance of the season for the end. The ‘Bows earned their fi rst series sweep of the season, sending out their senior class as victors.

“It’s everything I thought it was going to be,” senior catcher Kayla Wartner said. “To be able to get this third win today, and earn a sweep that we haven’t done all season is pretty awesome.”

Senior Day began early, when Justine Tjaden, the team’s gradu-ating manager, was honored and threw out the ceremonial fi rst pitch. Tjaden, who saw her career ended by a rare blood disease in high school, has served as the team’s manager for the last four seasons.

The ‘Bows then got to work. In the second inning, second base-man Tayana Mata put Hawai‘ i in the lead with an RBI single to score third baseman Rachel Lack. Mata’s hit was followed by back-to-back walks to Dori Ann Sugai and Kayla Wartner.

Keiki Carlos then emptied the bases with a grand slam, the fi rst

of her career, and gave the ‘Bows a 5-0 advantage.

In the fi fth, Heather Morales launched a solo home run to make it 6-0. Leisha Li‘ ili‘ i picked up an single after her, before coming around to score on Ulu Matagiese’s RBI double.

Meanwhile, freshman pitcher Brittany Hitchcock was keeping the Aggies off balance all day. She shut down the Aggies through the fi rst six innings before UC Davis broke up the shutout bid in the top of the seventh.

Following the game, the ‘Bows honored their four seniors: Justine Tjaden, Jordan Burton, Kayla Wart-ner, and Leisha Li‘ ili‘ i.

“This is over; it’s done,” Burton said. “The completion of my four years here of being a Rainbow Wahine, I’m just so grateful I got to spend it with these amazing girls

and fi nish on a strong note.”“You’re always kinda like, it’s

never gonna be you,” Wartner said. “But then your time comes around, and you realize that this is it. It really hit me after the last out, when I realized that I was done, and this was the last time I

was going to be on this fi eld. It’s an indescribable feeling.”

The Wahine failed the earn a postseason bid for the second straight season after their run to the NCAA Super Regional Finals in 2013.

Hawai‘ i improved its record by 10 wins over last season’s 22-28 record. They ended the season in third place in the Big West Confer-ence behind Cal State Northridge and Long Beach State.
