Track and fi eld team irate with unfi nished athletics complex

JOEY RAMIREZ

Sports Editor

Every weekday morning at 6 a.m., Kayla Kirk is at Clarence T.C. Ching Field, preparing herself for the Rainbow Wahine track and fi eld team’s upcoming season. And every time she looks toward up-per campus, she is reminded that she practices in the shadow of an unfulfilled commitment – the Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex. “It is disappointing as an athlete to not have the promises of a new facility met,” Kirk said. “Every day I have to walk by the construction, and it is just a con-stant reminder of how far behind we are.” In April, University of Hawai‘i offi-cials reported the complex could be fin-ished by October 2013. Members of the Rainbow Wahine track and field team said they were told construction would be done by the end of summer. Now, the NCA A has stepped in and threatened to withhold certification, which could lead to sanctions that in-clude UH teams being banned from NCA A tournaments.

Athletics Director Ben Jay has sought an extension from the NCA A and said that the bottom f loor, which hosts locker rooms and offices, must be opened by Jan. 28. The rest of the com-plex must be open by February, by order of this latest extension.

“It ’s frustrating that the locker rooms haven’t been completed yet, es-pecially because our old locker rooms were torn down before the new ones had even begun to be built,” said Heather Delgado, a junior runner on the Hawai‘i track team. “We haven’t been given any updates on when it will be completed, and for now, we are sharing locker rooms with the public.”

FRUSTRATION ON ALL FRONTS In 2008, the Ching Foundation donat-ed $5 million to the University of Hawai‘i Athletic Department – the largest gift its ever received. However, construction on the project did not begin until 2012, after Regents approved $3 million in bond rev-

enues meant to expedite the process. Despite these extra funds, T. Iida Contracting Ltd. has informed UH offi-cials that the Dec. 31, 2013, completion date will not be met. Last Wednesday, a Board of Regents committee took action in response to the NCAA’s latest threats by ordering an im-mediate audit of the $13.39 million project. “Anytime someone breaks a rule, there

should be a punishment,” Delgado said. “But on the other hand, the Athletics De-partment shouldn’t have to take the brunt of the blame. Promises from the department and the contractor weren’t met, and that’s why we don’t have a locker room.” With the project still under construction, members of the Hawai‘i cross-country and track and fi eld teams are using public lockers and carrying their belongings with them. “I just hope that it is done soon,” said Louise Mulvey, a junior runner on the track team. “Right now, it ’s pretty diffi-cult to fit everything I need in the small lockers provided in the women’s locker room. So I find myself having to lug around a lot of my gear, which by the end of the day can get really heavy.” While the construction of the complex has been associated with UH’s Title IX plan to seek gender equality in athletics, some say that the project has had the opposite effect. “The construction that involves foot-ball or any other men’s team seems to be finished a lot quicker,” Kirk said. “It is just really disappointing that we aren’t able to enjoy the quality of facilities that these other teams have.”

Every day I have to walk by the con-struction, and it is just a constant reminder of how far behind we are.

Post-doctorate researcher Robert Brewer won the 2013 Graduate Student Research on Campus Sustainability Award for his dissertation on the results of the Kukui Cup Energy Challenge at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. “It’s an honor to win the award from AASHE (Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education), and really it refl ects the work of the whole Kukui Cup team,” Brewer said. Brewer’s dissertation, “Fostering Sus-tained Energy Behavior Change and Increas-ing Literacy in a Student Housing Energy Challenge,” included a demonstration of in-creased energy literacy as a result of the chal-lenge, the discovery of fundamental problems with the use of baselines for assessing energy competitions, the creation of two open-source software systems and the creation of an en-ergy literacy assessment instrument. “So what Robert did was study the impact of the Kukui Cup, and he learned about the impact of the educational portion of the challenge and that students who participated in the Kukui Cup did learn more about energy issues than those that didn’t,” Information and Computer Sciences pro-fessor Philip Johnson said. The results were based on data collected in 2011 and have been used to improve the Kukui Cup in 2012 and 2013. “For example, because of the problems my dissertation revealed in using a tradi-tional static baseline for evaluation, we have switched to a dynamic baseline,” Brewer said.

THE KUKUI CUP ENERGY CHALLENGE Brewer and Johnson developed the Kukui Cup Energy Challenge along with George Lee, Computer Science Ph.D. student Yon-gwen Xu and Computer and Information Sci-ences Ph.D. student Michelle Katchuck. Students in residence halls compete to see which f loor or building can use the least energy, while earning points by learning

about energy and sustainability. They start-ed the work in 2010 and held the first Kukui Cup in the Hale Aloha Towers in 2011. A second UH Mānoa Kukui Cup was held in 2012. Brewer and his colleagues also as-sisted Hawai‘i Pacifi c University and the East-West Center in running their own Kukui Cups. “We situated the Kukui Cup in higher educa-tion for a few reasons,” Brewer said. “First off, as

university researchers, residence halls are an obvi-ous and convenient place to conduct research. The support and cooperation of UH Mānoa Student Housing has been essential to the success of the Kukui Cup. Involving students living in residence halls also made sense because one of the core ideas of the Kukui Cup is that education must be inte-grated into these types of competitions for them to help foster changes in behavior.” Johnson said Brewer’s dissertation had an im-pact on how the Kukui Cup was run. “The dissertation has had a signifi cant im-pact on the way that we do the Kukui Cup now,” Johnson said. “It has indicated that, to me at least, his research indicates that it’s very important to combine education with the game, you know, kind of competition stuff.” About four years ago, the Collaborative Soft-ware Development Laboratory was awarded a three-year grant for about $400,000 by the National Science Foundation to investigate ways to create positive behavioral change with respect to energy usage, according to Johnson.

SUSTAINABIL ITY IN HIGHER EDUCATION Brewer said he knew he wanted his research to directly address the problems of climate change and sustainability when he returned to UH Mānoa

in 2007 to pursue a Ph.D. in Computer Science. “There are many departments at UHM do-ing world-class work on climate change, such as SOEST,” Brewer said. “As a computer scientist, I wanted my research to help mitigate the problem.”

FROM HAWAIʻ I TO COLORADO Brewer moved to Hawai‘i in 1992 after gradu-

ating with a B.A. in physics from Reed College in Portland, Ore. While living in Hawai‘i, he received his master’s in Information and Computer Scienc-es from UH Mānoa and co-founded the Internet Service Provider, LavaNet. “I like computer science because it combines the beauty of mathematics with practicality of engineering,” Brewer said. “In CS, we can create software and make it available to anyone in the world with Inter-net access. That ’s a powerful way to make the world a better place.” Since graduating in 2013 with a Ph.D. in Com-puter Science, Brewer has moved to Denmark, Colo., where he is a post-doctorate researcher in the Computer Science department at Aarhus Uni-versity for the next two years. He is currently working on the EcoSense project, which aims to use data from sensors in smartphones and buildings to make people more aware of their environmental impact and to help foster changes in behavior. “My focus is on a dormitory in Aarhus that has been instrumented with a variety of sensors, making it into a living lab for energy behavior re-search,” Brewer said. “My work on the Kukui Cup has provided me with a great foundation to contrib-ute on the EcoSense project.” To fi nd out more information about the Kukui Cup, go to kukuicup.org.

Hawai‘i Review has relied on original submissions for the bulk of its material for 40 years. Keep-ing in line with tradition, this anniversary issue has a theme entitled “Voyages.” “It’s an inherently Pacifi c theme (that) speaks to our posi-tion here in the Pacifi c Ocean. The idea of journey and how any kind of epic story is usually about going out and having a new task. … It’s not just about crossing water; it can be about going across mind space and personal development,” editor in chief Anjoli Roy said. Hawai‘i Review expects a broad spectrum of submissions due to the immense possibilities the theme presents. Those who are interested in submitting should keep in mind that the piece needs to relate back to the theme, or it will not be considered. “We really like the energy that you get when you have a themed call for materials just because it seems like there’s a natural co-hesion that comes together when you force people to adapt what they are working on to a call. … It creates a net that holds the issue together,” Roy said. Although the HR has been present for decades, its staff is al-ways searching for fresh ways to energize the journal. “We have a really great designer who thinks outside the box. … I think that the print journals will be these really beautiful objects,” Roy said.

Contributing Writer

While former President George W. Bush’s legacy will be defined by his initiation of the War on Terror, President Barack Obama has now defined the war’s legacy. During the last decade, the United States has proven it has an enormous tech-nological advantage over its geo-political adversaries.

CIVIL IAN OR TERRORIST? Since 2010, the U.S. has con-ducted active military bombard-ment with Unmanned Aerial Vehi-cles, commonly known as drones. During this period, drones have operated in Libya, Yemen, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia and possibly the Philippines. De-spite being touted as the heights of innovation in targeting, drone strikes lead to an unknown num-ber of civilian deaths. This is one of many significant consequenc-es of drones, and the negative effects they have are a necessary part of the conversation. According to the Conf lict Monitoring Center, drone strikes have been occurring since 2004, though it is unclear which were for military bombardment and which were for covert operations. Since the initiation of the

drone strikes, about 3,000 peo-ple have died. Civilian causali-ties are often miscalculated and largely underestimated, as the Obama administration defines all military-aged males as com-batants, and operations that kill these young males are seen as successful strikes. Human Rights Watch di-rectly contradicts the Obama administration’s claim that civil-ian causalities are on the decline. They report that since 2009, 57 of the 82 people targeted and killed by drones in Yemen have been civilians. One particularly gruesome massacre occurred in Nangarhar, Afghanistan, where drone strikes killed 47 civilians, mostly women and children, at a wedding ceremony. In May, The New York Times quoted a Pentagon official who estimated that the current con-f lict could continue for another 10 to 20 years. It is unlikely that the role of drones will become superf luous to this global con-f lict within that timeframe, so determining the regulations and procedures of targeted strikes becomes paramount.

CHANGING PRACT ICES In conjunction with conven-tional military branches, the Joint Special Operations Com-mand and the Central Intel-

ligence Agency utilize drones. Currently, the CIA is essentially the coordinator of entire wars in multiple countries – a role that is historically and practically out-side their purview. Recognizing this problem, Obama has pledged to transition this role away from the CIA and to the military. The goal should be to eliminate, or at the least, limit harm to civilians. Sixteen-year-old Malala Yousafzai, a major fi gure for women’s rights, visited the White House last month. She expressed concerns that drone strikes are fueling terrorism be-cause “innocent victims are killed in these acts, and they lead to resent-ment among the Pakistani people.” While evidence on this is mixed, there comes a point when civilian deaths cease to become a mere mat-ter of long-term strategy in the War on Terror and enters the realm of human rights abuse. Drones also contribute to increased anxiety and psychological trauma in targeted communities. In Pakistan, the use of drones seems to be winding down; the number of strikes has declined from the height of 122 in 2010 to 23 as of this year, according to the New American Foundation. Regu-lations on drone strikes are also being tightened. The NAF found that under Bush, 33 percent of strikes in Pakistan killed civilians, while that number has declined to

11 percent under Obama. Previously, the policy of sig-nature strikes in Pakistan proved especially controversial. While drone strikes are largely praised as precision attacks, strikes were used on anonymous individuals based on various metrics such as “pattern of life.” This allowed drones to target an individual based on locations traveled to,and a strike was often justified if one met in large gatherings of

“military-aged males.” This prac-tice has now ended in Pakistan. Recent White House policy changes on drones show prom-ise. Still, what the president has done is codify the use of drones as a primary tool in the War on Terror. Today, drones make up 95 percent of targeted strikes as op-posed to other methods like cap-ture and kill missions, which was used to kill Osama bin Laden. While drones are the primary method of targeted strikes intend-ed to kill terrorists, under Bush,a third of drone strikes were on militant leaders. Obama’s admin-istration has shifted that number to lower than 13 percent. This indi-cates a major tactical change in the use of drones, as they are no longer used to decapitate the leadership but rather to collapse the network.Time will show which method is effective and which one better pro-tects the lives of civilians.

WORLD CAN’T WAIT / FLICKR

According to Pakistan’s Ministry of Defense, 2,227 people were killed in 317 drone strikes since 2008.

For one game – the Rainbow Warrior basketball team’s win over Western Michigan on Saturday – the toughest person on the fl oor wasn’t the seven footer or any of the players with sculpted biceps. It was a 60 year-old photogra-pher, named Dennis Oda. Toward the end of the fi rst half, Hawai‘i point guard Keith Shamburger was forced out of bounds while going for a layup. As he crossed the baseline, his back smashed into Oda’s nose, which sent the Honolulu Star-Advertiser photographer’s head back into the table he was leaning on. After a few dazed moments, the man shooting his first bas-ketball game in roughly four years realized he was leaving a “puddle” of blood on the court as it spewed from his nose. Stan Sheriff Center employ-ees insisted that he seek first aid, but Oda wasn’t about to let the blood covering his clothing and seeping into his camera prevent him from doing his job. “I was thinking, ‘Is my nose broken? Eh, maybe it ’s not,’” Oda said. “Then I thought, ‘Oh, it ’s halftime, I gotta make deadline.’

They asked if I wanted to come to the medic right away. I said, ‘Right after I send my pictures.’” But Oda was in no hurry to seek treatment. He looked more like he ran into Freddy Krueger than Keith Sham-burger, but Oda continued to shoot and edit photos through the fi rst 12 minutes of the second half. It was only after having some fun with fel-low photographers that he agreed to get his nose examined. “A couple of guys next to me were like, ‘Hey, look at him now. He’s taking selfi es,’” said Warrior Insider’s Brandon Flores. “He’s over in the corner taking pictures of himself. Then he got the referee during one of the timeouts to take a group picture of the (photogra-phers) sitting under the basket. The ref said, ‘That’s the fi rst time in my 25 years of refereeing some-one asked me to take a picture.’” As he sat on a cot provided by registered nurse Filomena Thomp-son, Oda’s cheerful attitude was un-affected by the blood on his clothes or the pain in his head. Instead, his attention was fo-cused on his shirt that he brought back from the 2013 Women’s Col-lege World Series. He proudly remi-nisced on being able to photograph his niece, Kimberlee Souza, as she

and the Washington Huskies made it to the NCAA semifi nals and was determined not to get any blood on it. He could not have been much less successful. “(When I saw him) I thought, ‘He’s been through war,’” Thomp-son said. “I heard, ‘There’s blood all over the court.’ Oh my good-ness. … When I heard ‘blood on the court,’ I was like, ‘Oh no, I gotta get there fast.’” Oda and Shamburger both agreed that the whole episode was accidental, but Shamburger claims there should be more restrictions on photographers. “That’s why I don’t think people who do pictures should be down there,” Shamburger said. “Because it’s dangerous on both sides. I could’ve hurt myself on that one, and he hurt himself. It’s more protection if they move farther behind the bas-ket or something.” On the other side of the lens, Oda would not even consider taking him-self an inch farther from the action. “You see a lot after about 37 years of photography,” Oda said. “I’ve been to riots in the Philippines and Korea where you had to put gas masks on and a helmet. You have to cover all your skin because the pep-per gas is pretty corrosive. But I was never smashed up like this.”
