Dear Reader,

Today, Ka Leo O Hawai‘i is officially an octogenarian. But even though the paper has been a senior citizen for 20 years, it is hardly past its prime. For 80 years, 96 editors and more than 7,000 editions, Ka Leo has told the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa’s story. For 80 years, students have been walking through Ka Leo’s doors, wherever they be, with a simple mis-sion: to share their voice in “The Voice.” And whether with words or with a camera, whether with a computer, a pencil or a dictionary, they have done just that. Behind the Ka Leo building’s walls, blooming scientists, experi-menting with the words and images of the present, craft and carve a stat-ue of history more lasting than their

years at UHM; more lasting evidently, than the UHM’s halls in which they roam, the classroom in which they learn, the cafeterias in which they eat, and the stoops in which they sit. Students have walked into Ka Leo’s offices for decades not only because they need to secure jobs after graduation or fatten their resume, but because Ka Leo represents a phe-nomenon on the UHM campus. It is a one-of-a-kind forum, an active participation opportunity. Students have walked through its doors because it is an avenue for artistic fulfillment. A way to practice their art — whatever it may be. That, after all, is the only require-ment here. Ka Leo staff members must love what they do because the pay doesn’t keep them. The facilities,

(U-WIRE) SALT LAKE CITY, Utah — While the holidays are a time of celebration and joy for most, for families grieving the loss of a loved one, holidays can be the most painful days of the year. “After the loss of a loved one for the first time in your life, the first time you laugh will bring guilt,” said College of Nursing’s advisory board member Julie Webster. Board member Joyce Harris said mourners need to allow them-

selves to mourn over the holidays, away from friends and family. “The holidays all seem to trivi-alize the loss and life of a loved one ... It is easy to see how conflicts can develop within families around the holidays,” added board member Frances Hoopes.

The Post(Ohio U.)

(U-WIRE) ATHENS, Ohio — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration

has approved a new bra that gives women another option in breast aug-mentation and a new meaning to the battery size AA. The Brava Breast Enhancement and Shaping System, developed by reconstructive surgeon Dr. Roger Khouri, is the first non-surgical tech-nique for increasing the bust size. It is the only scientifically prov-en method that increases breast size other than surgery, Khouri said. Two clear plastic domes linked to a rechargeable suction device are placed over the breasts, causing a tight seal. This creates a vacuum which stretches the breast and then causes the cells to respond by stretch-ing and growing, slowly increasing in size. The bra, if worn for 10 hours a day for 10 weeks, can allegedly grow enough extra breast tissue to increase

the bust by one cup size on average. Missing days can cause setbacks in growth and is not recommended. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has reviewed the bra and has given approval of its sale. The bra has been featured in Elle and TIME magazines and is now avail-able for purchase at $995.

(U-WIRE) CHARLOTTESVILLE,

Va. — Since the new national cam-paign finance law took effect Nov. 6, a growing number of activist organizations, politicians, lobbyist groups and states are taking sides in a court challenge to the law that could end up in the Supreme Court within months. The Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act aims to change the cur-rent trend of campaign finance by banning soft money contributions to national political parties, increasing hard money contribution limits and restricting corporations and labor unions from running ads explicitly in favor of one candidate. More than 80 plaintiffs are chal-lenging the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act in federal court, arguing that the ban of “soft money” contri-butions represents an encroachment on First Amendment rights.

This Sunday, the Pacific Action Alliance (PA‘A) will sponsor a beach clean-up at Barber’s Point from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Following the clean-up, there will be a free barbecue for all those who attend. This will be the second beach clean up that PA‘A has organized this semester. In October, students participated in a clean-up at Waimanalo Beach Park. Although only a few students came, 23 bags of trash were collected, half of which were recyclable items. Out of the non-recyclable trash, about 50 percent consisted of Styrofoam cups and containers. PA‘A is a University of Hawai‘i at Manoa registered independent student organization. It focuses on promoting positive changes through legislation, restoration, education and action. PA‘A believes in changing the world for the better, from environ-mental issues to social injustices. Any students or faculty mem-bers interested in participating in the beach clean-up at Barber’s Point are urged to attend. For more informa-tion regarding PA‘A or the Barber’s Point clean-up, contact PA‘A student director Katherine Burr at 808-286-3395, or visit PA‘A online at www.pacificactionalliance.org.

‘Secrets’ succeeds as a Potter sequelBy Natalie BickertonThe Daily Free Press

(Boston U.)

(U-WIRE) BOSTON, Mass. — Everyone knows it — sequels tend to suck. There are only two ways for filmmakers to keep a series going: the movies either all have to be equally awful in that “why-am-I-actually-enjoying-this?” way (like every slasher horror series ever made), or they have to be stories that stand alone yet build on each other, of course while making enormous profits (i.e. the “Star Wars” series). So everyone wants to know, will the “Harry Potter” series succeed? Based on “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets,” the answer seems to be yes. The second film starts with the early end to Harry’s miserable summer with the Dursleys, and his preparation for his second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The school year is barely underway before the students are terrorized by a monster contained in a hidden chamber thought to be legend. Of course, Harry is also a legend, so in the wiz-arding world, legend is not equated with fic-tion. Harry knows this as well as anyone else, having defeated the evil Lord Voldemort, the most nefarious sorcerer ever, and he and his friends, Ron and Hermione, prepare to once again tackle whatever is threatening Hogwarts. The second film does stay true to J.K. Rowling’s book; unfortunately, this means it falls into some of the same problems. The book is mostly plot-driven and character development falls to the wayside. This is especially disappointing in the movie, because even less is revealed about both the returning characters and the new ones, such as Ginny Weasley, Ron’s little sister. Additionally, view-ers not familiar with the characters will miss the point of scenes that hint at a crush devel-oping, making those scenes more awkward than enlightening.

That said, the movie does develop some characters excellently. Moaning Myrtle, the adolescent ghost of one of the girls’ toilets in Hogwarts, not only steals every scene she is in, but, surprisingly, the actress playing her is Shirley Henderson (“Trainspotting,” “Bridget Jones’s Diary”), who is over 30-years-old. This hints at the strongest factor in the movies’ success: almost all the actors are amazing. Daniel Radcliffe (Harry) and Rupert Grint (Ron) return in full force, while Emma Watson’s Hermione is sorely missed through-out much of the movie. Sadly, Tom Felton’s Draco Malfoy plays well off his enemies (the main trio), but has difficulty carrying a scene involving him in the Slytherin common room with his stooges. However, Draco’s father, Lucius (Jason Isaacs), is a deliciously malevo-lent Fabio sneering his way through every scene, convincing the audience that he is pure evil cloaked in money. The Hogwarts’ teachers still embody their literary counterparts, and the addition of Kenneth Branagh as Gilderoy Lockheart, the suave, debonair oaf of a Dark Arts teacher, is perfect. Like both the first movie and the book, some of the best parts of “The Chamber of Secrets” are not the action sequences relat-ing to the mystery, but the bits that share daily life in the wizarding world and at Hogwarts. Harry travels for the first time by Floo Powder, which sends the “traveler” through a chimney system wherever they want to go; like Harry, the audience stares in wonder when Ron disappears in flames. Also noteworthy is a scene in which Professor Sprout (Miriam Margoyles) teaches Slytherin and Gryffindor students how to transplant mandrakes. Another magical creature, Albus Dumbledore’s (Richard Harris) phoenix, is introduced to Harry and the audience on a “burning day” and is beautiful (and adorable) to watch transform. Of course, the movie wouldn’t be complete without a Quidditch

match between Slytherin and Gryffindor. This match possibly outshines the one in “The Sorcerer’s Stone,” because Harry and arch nemesis Draco Malfoy are pitted against each other as seekers for their respective teams, and tension builds throughout their battle for the snitch. There is one particular area where the film out performs the book, and that is in the sequence involving a diary of a young man who attended Hogwarts long before Harry’s time. Like the pictures that wave and smile at the person holding them, the diary, too, can interact with the person who has it, and the movie portrays this even better than J.K. Rowling’s words. Fans of the book will be truly amazed at how well this difficult and

integral part of the story is done. The many rabid fans of Harry Potter, whether introduced through the books or the first movie, will be satisfied with “The Chamber of Secrets,” but it is unlikely that it will entice those not already entranced. The film is geared to those who already know the characters intimately and just want a visual reproduction of the second book, or to learn more about characters they met through the first movie. Like the book, this film is more of a bridge to the drama that unfolds in the sub-sequent books, and it succeeds in maintaining interest for the next one while introducing the characters that will become more important as time goes by. This Harry kid’s got staying power, and that’s a good thing.

Editor’s Note Twelve years ago, the international spotlight fell on the University of Hawai‘i after Ka Leo O Hawai‘i ran two op-ed pieces. The first was by a haole philosophy student from Louisiana who didn’t want to be identified as haole and advocated for the word’s disuse in the colloquial lexicon. The second was by a Hawaiian Studies professor who discussed at length white privilege, the privilege of not owning white privilege, racism and how that student fit into it. The professor went through hell as the university spent over a year trying to resolve its ambivalence about the status of women of color in the university structure (primarily at her expense). Issues of free speech, academic freedom, white privilege, racism, power, colonialism and violence were raised. We offer the two letters in a solemn remembrance of that time and hope that the issues raised can be rethought by a new generation of university students.

bers must love what they do because the pay doesn’t keep them. The facilities, sadly, won’t either. Ka Leo staff members have chron-icled this campus through wartime and peacetime. But this paper’s voice, which has changed with the times and with the stream of time’s generations that have sped through it, has always been indebt-ed to one entity: the UHM student. Today, on Ka Leo’s 80th anniversa-ry, we invite you to an open house from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at Ka Leo’s offices. Come meet the staff that works tirelessly to produce your daily newspaper. Take a tour of the newsroom that has produced some of the nation’s and state’s reporting greats — KGMB’s Jade Moon, the Honolulu Advertiser’s Cory Lum and Treena Shapiro, the Honolulu Star-Bulletin’s Gordan Pang and Craig Gima and the L.A. Times’ Robert Lopez, to name a few. Offer us suggestions, let us know what’s on your mind. Eat some great (free) food.

moniker has people wondering. “It came from one of my friends. We were in the water at Sandy’s and he kinda looked up at the mountain and said, ‘That’s kind of a thick tube, ah?’ and it just kinda stuck,” said Samsonas, who later gave the name idea to Denny. “There’s a couple of other expla-nations floating around,” said Brady as the rest of the band offers their thoughts. “They’re all untrue!” “It has to do with water and surf-ing.” “There’s a lot of myths out there. Don’t believe the hype!” said Scanlan. “Rumors, speculations, hearsay,” said Brady, nodding. Although the original Thick Tubes had four members (with some eventually dropping out), the current band have grown to twice their original size. Ono, Scanlan, Lee and Samsonas know each other from ‘Iolani School. Brady, a native of Attleboro, Mass., met Ono through mutual friends when they sent him to pick up Brady (who was visiting Hawai‘i) from the airport. Aromin was a student of Brady’s and Briguglio’s at Sacred Hearts Academy. And the band picked up Banaticla from a mutual friend. Despite their genre of music, Thick Tubes does not fit the ste-reotypical reggae band profile of Jah-loving, dreadlock-sporting, 4:20 potheads. Ono, who holds a math degree from Pacific University, taught at Kaiser High School for five

years and now teaches Algebra II and Pre-calculus at Kamehameha Schools. Scanlan is currently an autism consultant awaiting a Ph.D. degree in clinical psychology at the University of Hawai‘i. Brady, who taught math at Sacred Hearts for four years, holds a degree in civil engineering from Tufts University and is currently a graduate student at UH and a teacher’s assistant in math. Samsonas, who attended the University of Laverne, is a special education teacher at Kaiser and helps coach football for Iolani. Lee is an IT consultant and a LANTech owner. Aromin, a 2000 graduate from Sacred Hearts, attends Hawai‘i Pacific University and aspires to be a nurse. Briguglio teaches music at Sacred Hearts and is an accom-plished musician in his own right with a handful of CDs already out and has played with Carlos Santana for a Latin music award show. Their album “Thick Who?,” out since August 2001, features 10 original songs that are primar-ily written by Ono, Scanlan, and Brady. “It takes a long time to write ... at least for me. Denny does pretty well. He gets the energy, or the impulse, or the muse, you know? He can go on and write all of it really quick.” The album also has two cover songs (Lenny Kravitz’s “Eleutheria” and “D’yer Mak’er” by Led Zeppelin), which the band successfully delivers, adding a local twist to them. The themes for the original songs vary. There are songs

about friends and family, earth, war, having fun, how music is the key connection across societies, thanking whatever god you choose, guiding children and perseverance. Standout tracks include: the two cover songs, the bright and upbeat “Shine,” the urging and irresistible “Dance With Me,” “Keep On,” and the catchy “Thick Tubes.” “We try not to write too much love songs,” said Scanlan. “One thing, it doesn’t fit too well with the music. If you have a good opportunity to express something in a song and to make it with simple rhythms about ‘I love you’ and ‘Our love is so brand new,’ that’s a waste of the opportunity.” And as for the future, “defi-nitely we want to put out one or two more CDs. We would like to get our name out there as much as possible,” said Ono. “When we first started, our first goal was to just make a CD. Now we want two more, and we want to play at the Shell, we want to tour the outer islands, we want to tour the main-land ... that’d be nice.” Thick Tubes’ past perfor-mance venues include: Kapono’s, Don Ho’s, Waterfront Cafe, Mai Tai’s, Oceans, Blue Tropix, Anna Banana’s, Manoa Garden, Pa‘ina’s, Kaniela’s, Pipeline Cafe, the Hanohano Room for KSSK’s Perry and Price Show and Sunset on the Beach.

Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

By Rachel M.Y. MarkKa Leo Staff Writer

It is early evening at Kahala Mall. The faint sound of cars whiz-zing up and down the freeway in the distance is almost drowned out by the roar of racers revving out of the parking lot. Sitting at a round table out-side of Starbucks, four casually dressed friends sit and joke with one another. They are a medley of T-shirts, aloha shirts, rubber slip-pers and backward baseball caps. Together, they present the picture of an easygoing, laid back group of guys just hanging out. But beneath that relaxed exterior is a local band that juggles the demands of a full-time job, school, family and friends in between rehearsals and gigs. They, and four others, are Thick Tubes, a band that seamlessly blends roots/reggae/soul/ska and dance sound into their music. “It’s eclectic,” said bassist Stephen “Stevo” Brady of their music. The band draws their inspira-tion from artists such as Run DMC, Lenny Kravitz, Sugarhill Gang, Prince, Ben Harper and Stevie Wonder for their live cover songs.

“It’s a little bit of everything. But we mostly majority cater to the reggae/rock/ska sound,” said 28-year-old lead singer Denny Ono. In addition to Ono and Brady (who can also play the harmonica and takes over lead vocals on some songs), the eight-member band features Sean “Ulu” Scanlan on rhythmic guitar and backup vocals, 28-year-old lead guitarist Todd Lee, drummer Arthur “Ata” Banaticla, 28, saxophonist Alec Briguglio and Jane Aromin on keyboards. Thick Tubes also features Patrick “Eli” Samsonas, 27, who does rap vocals. “I actually don’t play (an instru-ment),” said Samsonas. “On the CD it’s called ‘soul grunter.’ But basi-cally what that means is a reggae rapper kind of deal. “I’m pretty much probably the most musically illiterate one,” joked Samsonas. “I felt I wasn’t doing anything so just I stopped and I try and learn as we go along but God just didn’t bless me with the musi-cal gene.” As one of the most creative names for a band since the likes of the Aquabats, Dashboard Confessional, Three Plus, Bowling for Soup, Eminem, and the Get Up Kids, the origin of the Thick Tubes

Thick Tubes blends roots reggae, soul, ska and dance music on their album “Thick Who?” and in live shows. According to lead singer Denny Ono, the band has big goals, including playing the Shell and touring the mainland.

CorrectionsThe movie review in yesterday’s Ka Leo O Hawai‘i, “Bowling for Columbine,” was written by Marlo Ting, not Sebastian Blanco. The editors apologize for the mistake.

In yesterday’s front page article, “Lingle vows UH prez’s views won’t be at issue,” Ira Rohter was incorrectly quoted due to a reporter’s error. The University of Hawai‘i Faculty Senate endorsed no candidates in the Nov. 5 gubernatorial race. Ka Leo regrets the error.

The North/South will feature races in four divisions; par-ticipants will sail two-person Vanguard Club Flying Junior (CFJ) dinghies in the A and B Divisions and single-handed Lasers in the C and D Divisions. Sophomore All-American Bryan Lake will skipper the A Division for Hawai‘i, with fresh-man crew Elena Millard. The duo won UC Berkeley’s Stoney Burke Intersectional, Millard’s first regatta, Oct. 12 and 13. A little luck helped the freshman onto Hawaii’s A squad as crew for Lake, who won the A Division at the 2002 Intercollegiate Sailing Association/Gill North American Coed Dinghy Championship with All-American crew Jennifer Warnock. “(Millard’s) one of the smallest

sailors we’ve got and he’s one of the biggest sailors we have,” said Johnson, referring to the principle that lighter is better when relying on the wind to move you. “She’s really caught on,” added Johnson. “I think she’ll do real good here once she’s got a few more regattas under her belt.” Junior skipper Joey Pasquali and senior crew Sarah Hitchcock will sail the B Division for Hawai‘i. Senior Steve Brown and junior William Edwards will skipper the single-handed C and D divisions, respectively. Sophomore Matt Stine will also head to Santa Barbara as an alter-nate for the ‘Bows, a free agent available to sail in any division, if needed. One person who will not be going to Santa Barbara is Johnson himself. He and his wife Leslie, a volunteer assistant coach for the team, are expecting their first child this weekend.

Rainbow swimmers host Big West power Gauchos

By Daniel NunesKa Leo Staff Writer

The defending Western Athletic Conference champion University of Hawai‘i Rainbow Warrior basketball team is set for an exhibition match this Sunday at 5 p.m. in the Stan Sheriff Center. The ‘Bows will face off with the EA Sports California West All-Stars, a team composed of former college players. Former Hawai‘i guard Mike McIntyre is expected to compete for the EA Sports team. The California All-Stars are 2-5 on the season with wins against Cal-State Northridge and Oregon State. They lost to New Mexico, Pepperdine and Utah. This will be the first competition for the Rainbow Warriors, who offi-

cially begin the season next Friday with the Hawaiian Airlines Tip-Off Tournament. Four starters return from last year’s 27-6 team: guards Mark Campbell and Carl English, as well as forward Phil Martin and center Haim Shimonovich. English has been picked by WAC coaches as the preseason WAC player of the year. He is also one of only 50 players in the country to be a Wooden Award Candidate. The John R. Wooden Award is the most pres-tigious individual award in college basketball. English averaged 15.5 points and 5.1 rebounds as a sopho-more last season. The game will not be televised. Tickets are $4 for students with a valid UH I.D.

Friday and Saturday, the University of Hawai‘i men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams will host University of California at Santa Barbara for two dual meets at the Duke Kahanamoku Aquatic Complex. Hawai‘i last swam and dove for wins two weeks ago at the Big West Shootout in Irvine, Calif. The women improved to 2-4, and the men remained undefeated to reach 7-0. UCSB has traditionally dominated the Big West conference. Last year the Santa Barbara Gauchos came in

second, ending a streak of confer-ence championships dating back to 1979. The Gauchos come into this weekend’s back-to-back meets with the women at 3-6 and the men at 4-4. The UH men have already faced Santa Barbara and beat the Gauchos at the Big West Shootout, 79-32. Hawai‘i boasts sophomore diver Maggie Roberts, who became the Western Athletic Conference diver of the year as a freshman. At the end of this October, Roberts won WAC swimming and diving Athlete of the Week. She has put up scores in the 1-meter and 3-meter that clinch auto-matic qualification for NCAA Zones. At the Big West Shootout, senior swimmer Kurt Boehm set a new meet record for the 200-yard Butterfly with a time of 1:49.75 and won the 400-yard Individual Medley. Junior Cheyne Bloch, a Maui native and one of the four swimmers from Hawai‘i on the team, won the 50 and 100

Freestyle. Peter Thew, a freshman who holds the team’s fastest back-stroke times, won the 100 Back in Irvine. Sophomore Tudor Ignat won in the 100 Breaststroke. Sophomore Nimrod Palma took the 200 Fly. Junior Mike Gowdy, a diver for the Warriors, won both the 1-meter and 3-meter at the Shootout. Yan Chen and YingJuan Zhen, two freshmen Wahine from China, have led the women this year. Chen has put up a time for the 200 IM that places her at 21st in the country. In Irvine, Chen won the the 400 IM, 200 IM and the 200 Fly. Zhen has led the backstroke and 50 Free for the team. At the Shootout, she won the 50 Free and 200 Back. The meets this weekend begin at 4 p.m. Friday and 10 a.m. Saturday. UH goes up against UCSB at the UH Duke Kahanamoku Aquatic Complex.

James is not sure of how her team will perform on Saturday. They did “quite well” at the 6K Triton Classic last month in La Jolla, Calif. However, the competition on Saturday is much tougher than the field at La Jolla. Thirty-three teams are slated to compete in the regional with four ranked teams amongst them. The top two scoring teams from each regional qualify for the NCAA Championships along with the top four individual finishers from a non-qualifying squad. Competing for the Rainbows at the regionals are Chang, Hanna Bremler, Teryn Bentley, Jennifer Crumley, Jodi Enomoto, Robin McRobbie and Carin Patterson. Tomorrow’s race marks the final run for seniors Crumley and Enomoto. Referring to her seniors, James said, “This is pretty much it.”

Notes: Transfer Jenn Bell is training again after injuring the bottom of her foot at the Big Wave Invitational at Kualoa Ranch in September ... Alethe West, who ran her best race at the Triton Classic, suffered a stress fracture and has since had her leg in an air cast ... Last year, Cheryl Smith became the first Rainbow to qualify for the NCAA Cross Country Championships after placing eighth at regionals. Prior to joining the NCAA in 1982, Hawai‘i sent seven run-ners to the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) Cross Country Championships in 1977 and 1978 ... This year’s NCAA champion-ship will be run on the LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course at the Wabash Valley Family Sports Center in Terre Haute, Ind. on Nov. 25.

smart to go to Rice. Smart football players exploit your weaknesses. You know they’re going to run the ball but they still do it and they’re still successful. All we can do is play responsible and tackle well,” said Tinoisamoa of Herm and Henderson. Added Peters: “(Rice’s) game plan is to keep our defense on the field and keep our offense off the field. They

know our offense can score just as good as them.” Led by sophomore quarterback Timmy Chang, Hawaii’s passing attack now leads the nation, averaging 398.9 yards per game through the air. The Warriors are also second in the nation in total offense with 520 yards per game and average 40.4 points per game. Chang, Hawaii’s career leader in passing, enters tomorrow’s contest having already thrown for 2,953 yards

this season, 17 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. Tomorrow’s game from “The Nest” will be the Owls’ homecoming game as well as their season finale. The game can be seen on KFVE beginning at 10 a.m. in Hawai‘i.

Notes: Hawaii’s nationally-televised game against the University of Alabama will air earlier than sched-uled. The Nov. 30 game will start on ESPN at 2:45 p.m., not 3:05 p.m.

you if they’re not watching. It feels good. It’s kind of weird.” Many draft Web sites rate Manuwai as a mid-first round selec-tion or an early second rounder. Espn.com’s NFL draft expert Mel Kiper Jr. lists Manuwai as the 16th best senior pro prospect — second at offensive guard. Manuwai said he hears about where he’s ranked at least 10 times a day, but pays little attention to it. “I heard about it, never really checked it ... I try not to get caught up into it,” said Manuwai. “My goal is to at least get drafted. I don’t care where.” Under most circumstances, an offensive lineman’s freshman sea-

son is a year of learning. Not for Manuwai. Even with a senior-laden O-line, offensive line coach Mike Cavanaugh put the young Manuwai into the rotation right away. “Sometimes I think back and wish I could have redshirted so bad so that I could still be part of this team next year,” Manuwai said. But as soon as one senses a bit of sadness and regret in his voice, Manuwai starts to list all the special moments he has been a part of. One realizes that he is happy about how things turned out for him. “In four years I have so much memories,” Manuwai said with a smile. “Three winning seasons in four years. No one expected at least one.” “I was part of the big turnaround

in 1999. (In 2001,) we smashed BYU, we smashed Air Force, then won a shootout against Miami (Ohio). Big pluses, man! This year we beat Fresno State at their home. That was probably a bigger win then beating BYU.” As Father Time takes his course and the 2002 season comes to an end, Manuwai plans to make the most of what is left and do what all good offensive lineman do — protect — and protect the present. “We’re on a roll right now,” Manuwai concluded. “Before it’s all said and done and I have to say good-bye, I want to build on some more memories for me, the team, the state. For everybody.”
