A study analyzing the effects of hula and how it may benefi t breast cancer survivors is expected to begin this month. According to hula study group members, Kryslin Nishibun, Morgan Liu, Dr. Lenora Loo and Dr. Erin Bantum, many studies have shown that exercise has both psychological and physical benefi ts for breast cancer survivors. Based on the American College of Sports Medicine’s recommendations, cancer survivors should engage in routine moderate physical activity for at least 150 minutes per week. Despite the benefi ts, estimates show that most cancer survivors are falling short of these recommendations. “The goal of the study is to determine if hula can be an effective and enjoyable form of physical activity for breast cancer survivors to meet this recommendation,” the hula study group said in a statement. “We will measure the physiologic and psychological effects of increased physical activity through hula by evaluating circulating biomarkers and quality of life questionnaires measured at the start and end of the exercise program, respectively.” Dr. Herbert Yu, director of the epidemiology program at the University of Hawai‘i Cancer Center and Dr. Clayton Chong, a community oncologist at Queen’s Medical Center (QMC) fi rst formulated the idea of the study in the summer of 2012. Shortly

after, the contribution of both the psychological and biological aspects of the study were addressed by Bantum and Loo of the UH Cancer Center. All four of the investigators taking part in the study hope to work toward helping survivors regain their health following treatment, to prevent breast cancer from returning and to improve overall quality of life. “We live in a unique multicultural community and hula is a familiar form of cultural expression in dance,” the hula study group said

in a statement. “We believe hula can benefi t cancer survivors on multiple levels – hula requires aerobic activity, whole-body movement (engaging arms and shoulders) and concentration. Hula was also chosen for its long-standing history in Hawai‘i in the hopes that it will serve both as a gratifying mode of exercise and as a provider of social support.” Research on hula’s use as a physical activity was conducted in a previous study by Dr. Todd Seto and Mele Look of Queen’s Medical Center and UH’s John A. Burns School of Medicine. It showed that hula was benefi cial in the rehabilitation process for individuals with cardiovascular disease. These studies could demonstrate the

important role of exercise for breast cancer survivors. This study is the product of a collaborative effort to address the importance of exercise for cancer survivors. “All of the investigators have a specifi c interest that is captured in the study, so it was really the collaboration that launched it, with the HELA study as a backdrop,” Bantum said. Paul Neves, kumu hula for Halau Ha‘a Kea O Kinohi, said that hula

can help with the healing process in a variety of ways. He said he recently had a student in his class who was a recovering breast cancer survivor. “Hula can help, that’s a given,” Neves said. “It provides low impact aerobics, coordination between body and brain and it helps relax the body. It is good for the psyche of the person and it can help with healing – to the extent of how much it helps depends on the cancer itself.”

HULA CLASS PROGRESSION AND ELIGIBILITY The one-hour hula classes will take place at the University of Hawai‘i Cancer Center at Kaka‘ako two times per week for a period of

six months. Participants can expect classes to be taught at a moderate level of physical exertion under the instruction of Jean Serikawa and TeMoana Makolo. “In addition, participants are encouraged to practice hula at home, in 15-minute increments four times per week,” noted the hula study group. The hula study is still looking for eligible participants. Potential applicants need to be 21 years of age or older, female, a breast cancer survivor residing on O‘ahu and have completed primary treatment between six months and fi ve years ago. They cannot be currently receiving radiation or chemotherapy and need to be exercising less than 60 minutes per week. At the start of the study, participants will need to take height and weight measurements, along with blood samples. A coordinated questionnaire and $25 gift cards will be given at the beginning, six months later and 12 months after the original measure. Not only will those who take part in the study be receiving free hula lessons, but also it is an opportunity for those who have had breast cancer to interact with others alike.

Senior Staff Writer One month after some ath-letes slept in locker rooms due to delay in stipends checks, the Ath-letic Department has a three-year plan to pay its athletes on time. The Associated Press report-ed in early June that the stipend checks of at least 60 scholarship athletes were delayed nine days, for an approximate total of $92,000. Unable to pay rent, seven football players were forced to sleep in their own locker room for days. The real situation, according to athletics director Ben Jay, was a little different. Jay said that of those 60 student-athletes, who were all enrolled in summer school, only about 12 or 13 students – who were living in or transitioning to rental units off-campus – were adversely affected by the delay. Athletes from multiple sports, including football and basketball, were involved, but the depart-ment was able to fast-track the sti-pends within 72 hours, once they learned of the situation.

UNDERSTAFFED, OVERWORKED Late stipends have long been an issue for student-athletes. “They always receive them, it’s just the timeliness of it,” wom-en’s basketball head coach Laura Beeman said. Her team saw a few late checks this summer, but avoided drastic consequences. Still, she understands the poten-tial severity of the problem. “The biggest issue is the same as the football players had: Rent was due on the fi rst, and you don’t get your check till the fi fth,” she said. Men’s basketball coach Gib Arnold affi rmed that he has had past players – particularly interna-tional students – who have also re-ceived their stipends late, though it was “nothing like what happened this summer.” “There have been delays in the past that had not been addressed, and that was the reason why (Chan-cellor Tom Apple) and I called together this summit of all the dif-ferent departments to work out what is a workable timetable,” Jay said. According to director of ath-

letic media relations Derek Inou-chi, Jay and Apple sat down with the campus’ Financial Aid Services and Disbursing & Payroll Offi ce, as well as the athletic department’s Compliance Resource Center and Student Affairs units, to hammer out a three-year schedule that en-sures each party will do their part to ensure that student-athletes get all their stipends on time. Such coordination is essen-tial, according to Jay, because understaffi ng is at the root of the late checks. It takes time for each department to fi ll out the neces-sary forms needed to cut a stipend – more time when there are fewer people working at each checkpoint. “It’s processing time. The in-formation that we needed to put to-gether and get to Financial Aid … It took some time to get together, and Financial Aid needed more time. Everybody’s short-staffed.” “It’s acute – not only just in our department in athletics, but also in other departments around cam-pus,” Jay said. The plan goes into effect in the fall, but Jay says that any remaining

summer checks owed to student-athletes should come out on time. Apple characterized the situa-tion as the result of “a little bit of a lack of communication,” but he said that it was still unacceptable. “We have procedures in place to make sure the checks can get out on time. It won’t happen again. It shouldn’t have happened.”

NCAA RULES In the aftermath of the initial report, many questioned why the department couldn’t do more to help the athletes. Honolulu Star-Adver-tiser’s Dave Reardon reported that football players were eating bagels and drifting around for days, trying to fi nd somewhere to sleep. But NCAA regulations prohibit coaches and offi cials from arranging housing for athletes, offering loans or even buying groceries for players. Jay said that UH could have called the NCAA for an emer-gency waiver to accommodate the athletes, but since the issue was resolved swiftly, UH did not take any additional action. Beeman said that if her team

had been in the same situation asthe football players, there isn’t muchshe could have directly done otherthan appeal to Jay, whom she prais-es for his handling of the situation. “Whenever you’re dealingwith student-athlete welfare, therehas to be common sense thatprevails. I would never let one ofmy student-athlete’s welfare bein jeopardy – their safety, theirhealth – but I would never do any-thing that could jeopardize my en-tire program when we can prepareahead of time to come up with asolution,” Beeman said. Arnold agreed with Beeman’sassessment. “I’d probably be on that phonea lot, asking why they aren’t gettingwhat they deserve. I think thoseguys work hard, they’re here to go toschool, they’re here to play for UH –it shouldn’t happen.” Despite this summer’s incident,Beeman is optimistic for the future. “Maybe just bringing light tothe situation has helped. We’ll seewhat happens in the fall, when youhave the big issuance of checkscoming. Hopefully it’ll be on time.”

Ocean enthusiasts will have more information about pollution levels in the Ala Wai Canal because of a new model developed by a team including some UH oceanographers. Developed by a coalition of the Pacifi c Islands Ocean Observing

System (PacIOOS) and oceanog-raphers from the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST) at the Mānoa campus, this brown water movement model has helped south shores surfers learn about the water’s quality according to James Cave of “The Offsetter”, a local news blog. A PacIOOS sensor in the Ala Wai

canal, Hawai‘i’s most polluted wa-terway, measures turbidity, or the amount of tiny solids in the water column. The information from the near shore sensor is input into the model every 20 minutes. The model, developed by UH Mānoa Associate Professor Brian Powell, forecasts where the turbid plume will fl ow. Following a severe storm, turbidity levels will rise indicating that there is a brown water runoff. This runoff, also known as coastal runoff, can be composed of pollutants like sewage and other chemical contaminants, and can threaten the health of people who enter the water. One source who paddles in the Ala Wai but didn’t want to be identifi ed because of potential repercussions, said other paddlers are often unsure of what contaminants are in the water.

“Perhaps brown water tracking there would give people real accurate answers based on facts and data, that could be use to keep the paddlers safe and healthy,” the source said. There are fi ve near shore sensors deployed along Oahu’s southeastern shores stretching from the Ala Wai all the way to Hawai‘i Kai. UH scientifi c diver and PacIOOS Oceanographic Research Specialist Gordon Walker, who deployed the sensors, now main-tains them along with Oceanographer Professor Margaret McManus. “Along with the fi ve near shore sensors here on O‘ahu, we have de-ployed six in other island locations: Majuro, Pohnpei, Saipan, Guam, Koror and Tutuila, and we have two more that we are about to deploy on Maui,” McManus said. With its ability to track the exten-

sion of the brown water plume in almost real time using the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS),this system studies the water qual-ity of highly visited areas like Ala Moana and Waikiki and can help beachgoers make decisions aboutwhere to go, Melissa Iwamoto, Pa-cIOOS Outreach and Program Co-ordinator, said. With the success of the PacIOOS Ala Wai Model, there are plans to ex-pand its reach across the Pacifi c. “The community response has been so positive that I think that thenext step is to extend the model toother highly populated areas where we have near shore sensors,” Mc-Manus said. The model is available free to the public at http://pacioos.org/ focus/modeling/roms_turb.php.

Opinions Editor

On July 11, a national gay blood drive took place that called for a change to the restriction that bars gay and bisexual men from donat-ing blood. This event, organized by California resident and fi lmmaker Ryan James Yezak, called atten-tion to an outdated regulation that needs modifi cation.

NATIONAL GAY BLOOD DRIVE Honolulu was one of 50 states that participated in the event across the country. The local drive took place at the Blood Bank of Hawai‘i Young Street Donor Cen-ter, right next to the O‘ahu Com-munity Correctional Center. This was the second year for the event, but this was the fi rst time that Ho-nolulu participated. Gay and bisexual men who took part in the event went to their local blood donation centers along with a straight friend to donate in their place. Along with the donors nam-etag, a short message was collected with each donation and send to the Food and Drug Administration. The message explained that the men are willing to contribute to the national blood supply, but are being denied

because of their sexual orientation. According to Michael Golojuch, chair for the Honolulu Pride Organi-zation and drive leader for the Ho-nolulu gay blood drive, as many as 8 million donors could be added to the national blood suppy if the restric-tion was lifted.

ADVANCES IN HIV RESEARCH The restriction on gay and bisex-ual men was implimented by the FDA in 1983 when HIV was fi rst identifi ed in the United States. It was a time when the US was experiencing an epidemic and little was known about the deadly virus. In the years since, there have been many advances in our under-standing of HIV. There are numer-ous types of HIV tests available to-day that are better at detecting the presence of the virus than methods used decades ago. Over-the-counter test kits have also been available since 2012 making detecting an HIV infection easier and more accessible to many people. Oral pills that have been shown to substantially reduce the risk of HIV are also available. These pills have been recommended by both the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

ADDRESSING THE CONCERNS It is understandable that the FDA is cautious towards gay and bisexual men donating blood. They are the largest group affect-ed by HIV, according to the CDC. However, the restriction towards gay and bisexual men is complete-ly constructed on their sexual ori-entation, not their sexual behavior. Throughout the regulation, the FDA categorizes all gay and bisexual men as having high risk for HIV and other infections, re-gardless of their sexual behavior. The FDA fails to recognize those who are in monogamous relation-ships, or those who do not engage in sexual activities at all. In contrast, heterosexuals are allowed to donate even if they engage in risky sexual behaviors, such as having multiple sexual partners or interacting with people from ethnicities that are statistical-ly likely to have a high risk for HIV. Furthermore, the reasoning that there is an open window where a person will test negative for HIV, even if they have already been infected is also an invalid rea-son for keeping gay and bisexual men from donating. Although it is a major concern, there are ways to ensure that gay and bisexual do-nors are HIV-free.

A CALL FOR CHANGE The FDA should follow in the footsteps of other countries that have loosened their restriction on gay and bisexual men. South Africa addressed the issue by re-placing questions regaring male-to-male sexual interaction with questions assessing sexual behav-iors. Canada, as well as the United Kingdom, have also removed their complete ban on gay men from do-nating blood, and instead have set up time-frame regulations. Many reputable medical and health organizations in this coun-try have also expressed their op-position for the FDA restriction. The American Red Cross, Ameri-ca’s Blood Centers and the Ameri-can Association of Blood Banks re-leased a joint statement in support of the National Gay Blood Drive. The American Medical Associa-tion has also voiced their opposi-tion towards the ban, stating that it is “discriminatory and not based on sound science.” Last year, more than 80 con-gressional lawmakers also asked the Obama administration to lift the ban on gay and bisexual men from donating blood. These politi-cians, as well as various organiza-tions, have recognized the fl aw in the decades-old restriction.

Similar to the countries thathave allowed gay men to donate,the FDA could instead set up time-frames that allow gay and bisexualmen to donate after a certain peri-od of time. In their statement to theFDA, the American Association ofBlood Banks has suggested thatthe lifetime restriction be changedto a 12-month period to ensure gayand bisexual donors test HIV-free. The fear of HIV transmissionthrough blood donation is ex-tremely low today as preventionand detection have gotten bet-ter. The FDA is not being pres-sured into completely lifting theban, but into simply changing it.Willing and healthy donors arecurrently not able to contributebecause they are categorized fortheir sexual orientation. Simply being gay or bisexualdoes not put a person at a high riskfor HIV; but factors such as sexualbehavior play an important. There-fore, the FDA should change theirrestriction to focus on the sexualbehaviors of potential donors. Given the constant shortageof blood donors, the contribu-tions of gay and bisexual menwill have profound impact. Thenational gay blood drive success-fully highlighted this opportu-nity. The FDA should take noticeand change.
