When Travis Fallon was a University of Hawaii student in 2009, the idea of a student ath-letic fee wasnt popular. Though athletics department of cials oated the $50 a semester fee as a way to balance the ath-letic departments budget and give students free ac-cess to games, the then-vice president of the associ-ated students of the University of Hawaii saw little enthusiasm among his peers for the idea. There was no student support to speak of, he said. Now, as UH of cials look at increasing that fee to close another budget gap, students are still apathetic about the fee and UH athletics in general, according to student attendance gures and those trying to attract students to games. In addition, some of Mnoas top admin-istrators say hiking how much students con-tribute to athletics is low on their list of xes for lower campus nancial woes, behind op-tions like increasing private donations and revenue from UH merchandise.

EVERYTHING IS ON THE TABLE Currently, Mnoas student athletics fee brings in about $1.4 million each year, accord-ing to UH Mnoa Chancellor, Tom Apple. Even with that revenue, the department is expected to fall short this year by $1.9 million a de cit that would require an increase greater than double the current fee. Apple said such an increase isnt the best way to close the gap, adding that he thinks it would be extremely unpopular among students. But we should always look at it (and) look at how it is in comparison with other schools, he said, referring to UHs peer universities in the Mountain West and Big West athletic conferences, many of which have more expensive athletic fees than UH. Finding other sources of new income should continue to be the departments priority espe-cially through fundraising and merchandising with raising the student fee ranking as one of the lowest priorities, he said.

Getting more revenue from outside of the uni-versity is apt, he said, since athletics functions as UHs connection to the rest of the state. It s more important to the community than it is to the student body, he said. I dont think the student fee should be increased unless all the other sources are (exhausted). But soliciting new donations may be tough: Total athletic fundraising has taken a hit during the last year and a half, going from just under $6.5 million in scal year 2012 to around $4.3 million in 2013, according to the UH Foundations two most recent annual reports. That trend is something the athletics depart-ment is working to reverse, according to UH Ath-letics Director, Ben Jay. He said the department is working with the UH

Foundation and the universitys athletic fundrais-ing organization,

-Ahahui Koa

-Anuenue, to meet

with more potential donors around the state. Many of the people the three entities are tar-geting have never been approached by UH athletics before, but are willing to consider a gift, he said. The comment I see and hear all the time in our rst meetings (with new donors) is Weve just never been asked, he said. Jay said the department is also scheduled to take direct charge of UHs athletic merchandis-ing rights this summer, a move that he hopes will bring in an extra $500,000 to athletics that for-merly went to UHs general account. Although he said signi cant cuts to the pro-gram would affect students and the range of sports offered at the university, the athletics director said he will ask individual programs to give unused funds back to the department this year.

We are keeping our expenses low and (try-ing) to generate as much as we can, he said. Were looking for that positive cash ow. He also disagreed with Apple about the ath-letic fees reception among students. (Athletics) is an important part of student life here, he said.

FOSTERING STUDENT INTEREST

When UHs Board of Regents approved the athletic fee in July 2010, Mnoas administrators described it as an opportunity to increase students engagement with the universitys athletics teams. The goal of this investment is for our students to bene t from a strong, visible sports program that magni es UH Mnoas image, along with en-couraging greater student participation in athletic

events, then-Chancellor Virginia Henshaw said in a press release after the BORs vote. Vance Nagata, chairman of the Mnoa Mani-acs, said his group has been working to do just that. He said the group, which plans and hosts ac-tivities at athletic events to encourage students to come, has seen modest year-to-year gains in stu-dent attendance for certain sports in recent years. The Maniacs also receive part of the 8 percent of the athletic fee set aside for stu-

dent activities, according to the Student Athletic Fee Committee website. Nagata said UH doesnt have the same dedi-cated fan base that mainland universities do be-cause Hawaii offers students more year-round outdoor and athletic activities making it less attractive to sit and watch a game. You could go to the beach, go hiking, he said. There are a lot more opportunities here. But he said the university does have the potential to catch up with its continental counterparts and that the funding provided by the student fee can help. Meanwhile, Apple said UHs sports are a key part of the university and that funding them will remain a priority. We do the discoveries that help save lives, or help save the oceans or help save the beaches, Apple said. But athletics? It doesnt rise to those levels, but its still important.

6 ways athletics plans to fix the deficit

COMPILED BY ALEX BITTER AND PAIGE TAKEYACity Editor and Senior Staff Writer

Both Chancellor Tom Apple and Athletics Director Ben Jay are looking at different strat-egies to make the athletics department break even. With an almost $2 million de cit looming, these are the options on the table.

$$FUNDRAISING CUTS TICKETS STUDENTS FEE DIVISION I I

MERCHANDISE AND DEALS

DIIDII$$Jay said the memorandum of understanding has been changed, meaning Ahahui Koa -Anuenue and other entities can expand differ-ent fundraising options. Of course, Apple points out: In some cases, believe it or not, its just actually go-ing around to ask.

UH is pursuing fundrais-ing in earnest: Jay said 70 appointments with potential donors have been scheduled.

Big donations could keep the program a oat if UH can make the sale. Individual philan-thropists will be at the top of UHs list.

Both Apple and Jay claim that the department has whittled costs down as much as possible to get the deficit as low as it is any further, and both University of Hawaiis competitiveness and its student-athletes will be af fected.

Some of the schools 21 sports may be at risk if cuts continue particu-larly because Division I only requires schools maintain 14 mens and womens teams. Due to Title IX compliance, Jay suggested as many as 100 student-athletes could lose opportunities if the program shrinks.

The department is try-ing to avoid heavier cuts by asking each team to cut budgets by 5-10 percent for the rest of the scal year. The bud-get may be as lean as it can get via cuts.

Were revenue starved, Jay said. UH is looking to get more lucrative TV, print and radio partner-ships and renegotiate with Aloha Stadium. The department also gets full control of its merchandis-ing efforts as of July 1.

One big Rainbowtique store is planned for Ward Center to serve as a convenient central location for UH gear. Jay foresees a larger selection and is hoping to see $500,000 net rev-enue in the rst year.

These are all deals that will be boons to the uni-versity, though they are dependent on corporate and community interest (and dollars) to truly be successful.

One of the biggest rev-enue generators for the university is ticket sales. If football games man-aged to ll 40,000 seats, the department would be easily in the black, according to Apple.

Jay said that football is hampered by recruiting difficulties due to medi-ocre facilities. If were successful in being able to get kids here and being able to recruit them, we can turn the football program around.

That would be the best solution: a team thats winning enough or ex-citing enough that we get bodies in the seats, Apple said. Both men acknowledged, however, that fans wont be per-suaded unless the Ws start coming in.

The $50 per semester stu-dent fee among the lowest in the country brings in $1.4 million for the de-partment each semester, according to Apple and Jay. If the fee were in-creased to balance the current budget, it would have to more than double.

Both Apple and Jay in-sisted that the student fee increase while a possibility is not one that anyone wants to see happen. Still, it remains on the table as a possible steady revenue stream.

Raising the athletics fee only requires getting ap-proval from the Board of Regents and hold-ing hearings with other campus entities like the University of Hawaii and the Graduate Student Organization though it would be unpopular with students, who protested the initial fee in 2010.

The absolute dooms-day scenario, accord-ing to Apple, is a drop to Division II. Jay said that DII makes abso-lutely no sense.

Jay ruled it out as a pos-sibility entirely, saying that UH would lose all the broadcasting bene ts of Division I while still maintaining travel and scholarship costs.

I dont believe the com-munity would let that happen, Apple said.

THE PIG THE PIG & THE LADY: THE LADY: Vietnamese food with a modern twistVietnamese food with a modern twist

TONI WONGContributing Writer

The Pig & The Lady has been the talk of the town, and it s no surprise why. Chef Andrew Les food is delicious, well-balanced and imaginative. Set in the heart of Honolulus Chinatown, The Pig & The Lady serves Vietnamese-inspired food with a modern twist for brunch (on Saturdays), lunch and dinner. Their signature dishes include Pho French Dip Banh Mi made with brisket that is slow cooked for 12 hours and a Thai basil chimi-churri with dipping sauce. Their famous pho is also something to behold, having a deeply avorful broth, which has a bit of heat, and homemade rice noodles. Occasionally, The Pig & The Lady also offers a special coursed menu, which is a great way to experience a wide range of dishes. For example, they of-fered a special Valentines Day six-course meal featuring foods both on and off their regular

menu, plus the option of drink pairings for each course. Those who seized this opportunity were treated to wonderful dishes including their charcoal-grilled pork belly topped with a fresh oyster in a tomato-yuzu water, Hamachi sashimi with fennel salad and a kaffir lime sauce, f luffy tofu fritters with a curry of fresh sprouts paired with roast-ed broccolini, and hand-cut noo-dles swimming in smoked bacon pho. For dessert, there was but-ter fried Coffee-Can Bread with chocolate gelato, kaya and fig jam, and fresh tarragon leaves. Each course was beautifully ar-ranged and a feast for the eyes as well as the mouth. The Pig & The Lady serves a variety of crafted cocktails, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. The Lift cocktail consisting of rye whiskey, apricot and keawe smoke is especially enjoyable. The Golden Pig, which consists of champagne and fresh herbs over crushed ice, was also delightful. Recently, The Pig & The

Lady started serving brunch on Saturdays with a menu of dishes and refreshments just as entic-ing as their regular lunch and dinner menus. Their brunch fare includes both sweet and savory Dutch pancakes and their take on steak and eggs. Another favorite is the Egg PigMuffin, a playful dish consisting of a slow-poached egg in a savory muffin with ba-con, onion and date jam. If you havent paid a visit to the The Pig & The Lady, be sure to put it on your list of places to eat. From their dramatic decor to their great service, everything about The Pig & The Lady is fresh and exciting.

Ellen Takemoto captured the eye of Hawaii Review with a piece titled An-cient Stepping Stones, an essay about childhood life in and around a temple that holds a plethora of significant memories. The autobiographical story has earned her the Hawaii Review Student of the Month award for February.

THE PERSON Raised in Honolulu, Takemoto spent 25 years as an advocate for abused and neglect-ed children, and is now working toward a masters degree in public administration, as well as a certi cate in management and humanitarian assistance in the department of urban and regional planning. She is a caring mother, a practi-tioner of Japanese tea ceremony, and a musician, highly skilled with the tradi-tional Japanese f lute, the shakubachi, said Madoka Nagado, a Ph.D. student in English and Takemotos tutor at the Uni-versity of Hawaii Writing Center. She holds a black belt in judo and practices kendo. In what spare time she has, she energetically dedicates to volunteering in her community.

THE WRITER Takemoto wasnt chosen as Student of the Month for her activism or hobbies, , but rather for her ability as a writer. Her writing immediately stood out to me for its poetic quality and rhythmic ex-pressiveness. Madoka said. Initially writing in Japanese earlier in life, Takemoto transitioned to English writing, speci cally poetry, during a har-rowing point in her high-school years.

Id write when it was quietest at night, but that was when my father got sick and his coughing made me stay up longer, and I worried about my mothers health, she said. My father died by the time I was 16. Takemoto finds herself most comfort-able writing life stories. Usually people ask me to write for them, she said. It s a responsibility when you have to write about other peo-ple. I want to celebrate their lives. I want to bring out the best in them, but some-

times the best is the hardships. I enjoy having the responsibility and honor to be asked to write (about them). Having listened to the stories of her mother and other who survived the explo-sion of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima, Take-moto said she would like to take on a future project that pays tribute to the tragedy. As an offspring of a Hiroshima survi-vor, I also feel compelled to possibly write a ctional account of the experience, she

said. Although I was not born in that era, I was bonded to it by birth and inherited a duty to correct the un-speakable man-made tragedy so that it never happens again. Wanting to improve her writing skills, Takemoto found sanctuary in the UH Writing Center. Having

grown up speaking Japanese and Pidgin, she previously felt unconfident in her writing. (The UH Writing Center) really sup-ports me and builds me up, she said. I think writing is what makes people succeed. Nagado was the one who insisted that Takemoto submit her writing to Hawaii Review. Nagado said, During one of our meetings, I found myself holding a copy of Hawaii Review, asking, Ellen-san, do you know this? Why dont you submit?

THE STORY Takemotos Hawaii Review piece is a re- ective essay about growing up at a Japanese temple situated next to the Nuuanu stream. It touches upon how a deeper introspec-tion can occur with the social constructs that blend together in Hawaii, Takemoto said. The essay takes on an epic tone, as it draws from a range of years in her life, re ecting both on euphoria and loss in the life of a child. Take-moto said those years were her favorite. It was the best time in my life, where I was up to all kinds of antics, she said. The piece goes deeper than just sto-rytelling, though, as it serves to provide commentary on culture. It is a story of cultural exploration with features of how meaningful insight develops from the interactions that cut across from all generations, in both hu-man time and sacred space, she said. Takemoto wished to thank Nagado for her part in her success.

During the general meeting held on Jan 29, the committee came to a consensus of supporting a mor-atorium on resident tuition increase at the University of Hawaii at Mnoa for the 2014-15 academic school year. This bill will temporarily freeze the tuition and allow the university to find alternative measures to fund education. There has been a growing concern about the ac-cess to higher education on the islands since the cost of tuition at UH has increased by 108 percent from 2006-12. Enrollment last semester also dropped sub-stantially compared to the previous year. Student Alexandra Roth testi ed at the meeting, saying, If we have students who are dropping out be-cause of tuition hikes or just because they cant pay the tuition as it is now, I dont think increasing the tuition is really going to make a positive impact on increasing our attendance and retention rates.

GREEN L IGHT ON RIO FUNDING Bill 27-14 was passed during the general meeting on Feb 12. This bill will allocate more than $33,000 in fund-ing to various Registered Independent Organizations at UH Mnoa. As of today, there are more than 200 RIOs that provide leadership development for students. The next general meeting will be held at 6 p.m. March 12 at Campus Center 310. Everyone is welcome to attend and voice their opinion. Check the ASUH bul-letin board, located across from Starbucks at Campus Center, next week to see which topics they will be dis-cussing at the general meeting.

Most strive to be unique, to stand out from their peers and to make a difference. Yet, too of-ten people condemn differences in others rather than celebrate what sets all of us apart.

HAVE WE NOT LEARNED YET? Racism and prejudices sprout from cultural differences. If I was raised in a different country, my customs and cultural background would be strikingly dissimilar to my customs now, and the culture I carry would have nothing to do with my skin color. So why isnt skin color, one of the larg-est contributing factors in racism, viewed as any other physical attribute? Judging someone prematurely based on the color of their skin is just as absurd as judging by hair and eye color; incidentally, the world agrees it was unacceptable when a major leader in a world war measured people by their physical appearance 70 years ago.

PICTURE PERFECT HAWAI'I Every corner of the world suffers from rac-ism, even the culturally mixed Aloha State. The controversy and tension surrounding haoles and many other ethnic groups, including Hawai-ians, is shocking. "Racism is the saddest thing that we have to deal with in this century, said Moani, a Native Ha-waiian and junior at University of Hawaii at Mnoa. Moani also revealed that from kindergarten to third grade, she attended a school primarily comprised of military children who made fun of her because she was darker than them and had a bigger nose. Racism affects Hawaiians and other ethnicities in Hawaii. To move beyond racism, communities around the world must stop the hate crimes, stop the teaching of racism and prejudice and start working together.

WHY? Take the opportunity to look at the prejudices and negative opinions you may have and ask yourself, Why? Why do I have this attitude? Racism and prej-udices are formed through personal encounters and stereotypes, and they are a learned state-of-mind. Tanner Takata, a senior at UH, shares an open-minded view on the delicate subject and believes everyone know(s) whats right and whats wrong. You shouldnt pinpoint people for who they are. He also said that he personally does not experi-ence racism because of the large Asian population residing in Hawaii, but witnesses many ethnicities experiencing discrimination. I dont think it s ever going to stop, he said.

WORDS OF WISDOM The problem begins with prejudiced thoughts, which then results in treating others poorly based on those prejudiced thoughts. We need to change not only the way we think, but also how we act out toward others. Gandhi taught, Carefully watch your thoughts, for they become your words. Manage and watch your words, for they will become your actions. Consider and judge your actions, for they have become your habits. Acknowledge and watch your habits, for they shall become your values. Understand and embrace your values, for they become your destiny.

WORKING TOGETHER We have the power to change, and it begins with each individual to be a better example for the community and ultimately for the world. It s time we work together as a state, as a nation and as a global community to see beyond the external appearances and overcome the preconceived no-tions about people. We can rise above the hate, the prejudice and the injustice for a more harmo-nious world.

Senior out elder Kalei Hanawa-hine is not your average baseball player. Its not just because he stands 5-foot-8 with thick shoes on, or that he often bats in a spot normally re-served for the biggest, strongest hitters on a team. Or even that he took a roundabout path to play in front of his home crowd at the Les Murakami Stadium. Hawaiis starting right elder has been making a name for himself ever since he rst stepped on the baseball diamond, and in more ways than you may think.

THERE AND BACK AGAINComing out of Kamehameha

Schools-Kapalama in 2009, Hanawa-hine was one of the best baseball players in Hawaii, claiming rst team All-State honors as a senior. But Hanawahine committed to San Diego early, and therefore was not heavily pursued by his hometown school.

Hanawahine played two sea-sons for the Toreros, but his love for Hawaii drew him back to the Aloha State, leading him to reach out to Hawaii baseball coach Mike Trapasso. Coming back here, it was real-ly a baseball decision too, Hanawa-hine said. I knew Coach Trap from back in high school, when he was recruiting. We had a bit of a rela-tionship already, and he just said to come out and join the team. I had to sit out that rst year, but I still was able to be a part of the team and work out with them. Trapasso said that bringing the young outfielder on board was a bit against the norm, but he was willing to make an excep-tion for Hanawahine. Normally, we arent interested in the transfers that have to sit out for a year, Trapasso said. But in Kaleis situation, it started with us knowing who he was as a person. We knew he was the type of young man that we wanted in our program, and right now we are really glad to have him.

AN ABSOLUTE JOY When asked to describe Hanawa-hine, several terms often come up among peers and coaches, including character, hard work and leader. Its not just words, when we talk about how someone is as a person, Trapasso said. There really is meaning behind it, espe-cially in the case of Kalei. Things like character, and toughness, and maturity. Hes a high-motor guy, and hes always playing hard and really intense. He is one of those guys who plays the game the right way. Hes one of my favorite play-ers that Ive ever coached. Hes been an absolute joy to coach. Hanawahine has been one of the more consistent hitters for the Rainbow Warriors, bringing ver-satility to the lineup. Hanawahine has hit all over the lineup in his two years at UH, batting everywhere from leadoff to last during the course of his career. Hes a guy you can hit any-where in the lineup, and thats what is really good about Kalei, Trapas-

so said. He can hit in the middle of the order and be a run-producer, or he can hit leadoff and be a table-setter. That is a really valuable guy to have, and going forward, it will be fun to watch him play.

HOME IS WHERE THE HEART I S Despite losing his starting job midway through last season, Hanawahine worked hard to earn his way back into the lineup. Coming back, I wanted to come out and represent my friends and family coming out to watch me play, Hanawahine said. I gotta give them all the credit for helping me through all my struggles. Im just glad that I was able to do well for all the fans here supporting. Trapasso points to Hanawa-hines work ethic as a driving force to his success. He was one of the guys who actually showed consistency, and then he got better as the year went on, Trapasso said. At the end of the year, he was one of our best hitters.

This year as a full-time starter, we had our question of if he could hit the left-handed pitchers. But hes stayed strong against them, and that speaks to his work ethic and maturity. He wants to be out there, and hes been working to stay there. But for Hanawahine, the ex-perience of a dream achieved has meant more to him than any statis-tics he could ever collect. I grew up watching the Bows and coming to games as a kid, Hanawahine said. It was definitely the dream, like it is with all kids. Growing up, I wanted to be able to play base-ball here, put on the uniform and play for UH. Coming back has been completely worth it. Theres nothing that compares to playing in front of this crowd. Just having my family here is what makes it special. Up in San Diego, they were able to f ly up to see a couple of series, but for them to be able to watch me here every week has been the best experience of my career.
