Minnesota, and were looking to continue their undefeated streak against UH, which stood at 3-0 entering Saturday night. After last week’s upset over Northwestern, senior quarterback Timmy Chang and senior wide receiver Chad Owens could not have been expected to repeat their stellar performances from the week before. However, their team need-ed them to, their coaches needed them to and especially the fans needed both the seniors to step it up again.

Luckily both men did not let up from their offensive onslaught against the Wildcats. A rocky first quarter looked like it would spell trouble for the Warriors. Chang had difficulty getting in rhythm and the Spartan secondary

Twenty-six seniors took the field for the University of Hawai‘i foot-ball team on Saturday night unsure of whether it would be the last time they played at home, or if they would get another shot for their last call in a bigger stage match-up. For those Warriors, the dream of a bowl berth became a reality as Hawai‘i defeated Michigan State in a 41-38 win in front of 41,654 ecstatic fans at Aloha Stadium. With this win the Warriors are assured their spot in the Christmas Eve Sheraton Hawai‘i Bowl. The tandem of quarterback Timmy Chang and Chad Owens continued their play from last week’s game against Northwestern, as the duo connect-ed for four touchdowns against the Spartans. “It was awesome, it was a game that I’ll never forget,” Owens said. “It was something we do everyday

in our practice. We throw the ball, we throw and catch, that’s all we do. We executed tonight, and just showed what we can do, when we do what we’re supposed to.” After struggling in the first quarter with Chang only completing 6 of his 13 attempts for a total of 36 yards, Michigan State ran out to a 14-0 lead. Touchdowns from Spartan quar-terback Drew Stanton to tight end Eric Knott and one from running back Jehuu Caulcrick made it seem like it would be a long night for the Warriors defense. However after the Spartans opened up the second quarter with a 1-yard touchdown rush by running back Jason Teague, Hawai‘i running back West Keli‘ikipi followed with a 1-yard run into the end zone, putting the Warriors on the board. “They came out strong and they had us on our heels gaining a 21 point lead on us, but you know the guys on our sidelines believed in ourselves

and we just one play at a time came back,” said senior kicker Justin Ayat. With 56 seconds left on the clock Chang connected to Owens for their first touchdown of the night to pull Hawai‘i within one touchdown. But the Spartans were not done, as Teague again rushed for another touchdown to widen the gap 28-14 heading into the break. “When we were down, when they scored with 50 seconds left to go, it was kind of shocking, but we always stick together and we always push each other,” senior wide receiv-er Britton Komine said. That’s what appeared to hap-pen as Hawai‘i shut the door on the Spartans in the third. Owens immediately opened with a 51-yard touchdown pass from Chang barely a minute into the third quarter. Owens

Three University of Hawai‘i at Manoa students were recently recognized for their achievements in research. Ryan Salvador, a senior majoring in biology, presented his research at the Society for the Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science. Yasmin Dar, a senior majoring in biology, and Nel Venzon, also a senior majoring in biology, but with an emphasis on cellular and molecular biology, presented their research at the Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students. Salvador attended the University of Oregon last sum-mer and studied under Beatrice Darimont. He presented his research poster at SACNAS from Oct. 21-24.

Salvador’s research was on cellular and molecular biology with a focus on the “Characterization of One Potential Glucocorticoid Receptor (GR) Interaction Surface with Heat Shock Protein-90 (Hsp-90).” For his research and outstand-ing presentation, Salvador received $250 along with the recognition of his achievement. “It was empowering,” he said, speaking of the entire conference experience. Five other UH students attend-ed the SACNAS conference, but Salvador was the only winner from UH. Seven other UH students pre-sented their research projects a few weeks later at the ABRCMS conference in Dallas from Nov. 10 - 13. ABRCMS provided one more arena for minority students to advance themselves, including Dar

and Venzon. Dar presented research com-piled from over a year of study under Dr. L. K. Takahashi at the Psychobiology Laboratory at UHM. Her research and presenta-tion poster on “Predator Odor -Induced Conditioned Fear Involves Basolateral and Medial Amygdala” earned her recognition and $250. Venzona’s research was done under Piera S. Sun at the Pacific Biomedical Research Center at UHM on the topic of “Spatial Gene Expression of Two Actin cDNAs from the Pacific White Shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei.” His long-term research and presentation also earned him a $250 award. “These conferences allow you to network with other (minority) students, professors, recruiters and professionals,” Venzon said. “The experience was very encourag-

Hawai‘i will receive $23.1 million in U.S. Homeland Security Grants, Maj. Gen. Robert G. F. Lee, the State’s Adjutant General and Director of Civil Defenses, announced on Friday. This is approximately the same amount of money Hawai‘i received last year. Last month U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge, who recently stepped down from his post, visited Hawai‘i to address the Asia-Pacific

Homeland Security Summit. “Secretary Ridge understood that in Hawai‘i we can’t imme-diately draw upon resources in adjacent states or regions. Out here in the middle of the Pacific, we have to be self reliant to a far greater extent than the mainland states,” Lee said. Hawai‘i wil l get $23,130,249, which includes a nearly $6.5 million Urban Area Security Initiative grant for the City and County of Honolulu.

Watching TV is a lot like smoking. People know all the crummy side-effects and continue to do it anyway. It’s seductive, addictive and promises entry into certain conversations and certain circles of glamorous people. Most smokers are aware that their habit can cause cancer and emphysema. Most TV watchers know that their habit is mind-numbing and wasteful. Television presents a rapid barrage of images that the human brain cannot process as quickly as they are flashed across the screen. The messages hit our subcon-scious and remain there, influenc-ing our activities in ways that we may not fully understand and are therefore not fully in control of. It has this subtle power. It sells a specific look, a specific life-style, wealth and body-type. It misrepresents women. It mis-represents and under-represents people of color. It advocates vio-lence. It does all sorts of rotten things that most people are totally aware of- but continue to partici-pate in anyway. It steals your life. According to The Kaiser Family Foundation, “American children and adolescents spend 22 to 28 hours per week viewing

front of a soul-sucking machine? Haven’t we got something better to do? Learn Italian! Take up under-water basket weaving, practice your circus act! Call your grand-ma, make dinner for your sweet-heart, go salsa dancing, use pipe cleaners to make your hair look like Pippi Longstocking’s! It’s okay if you are hooked on the occasional clove cigarette out at the bar with buddies. Just rec-ognize that 10 percent of timber harvested goes directly into curing tobacco. Acknowledge that your actions have implications that reach beyond your own lungs. It’s okay if you are desperate to see the season finale of “Sex in the City.” Just recognize what you have chosen to support. Consider

some other options. Play your guitar! See an opera, donate blood, go fishing, climb a mountain, put in some hours of daydreaming, take a run, do your laundry, plant tomatoes! Or kiss the Marlboro Man goodbye. You need not par-ticipate in something you know to be worthless. Throw some darts. Mend your socks. Wink at someone. Ascribe more care and importance to your hours than the advertisers give you credit for. Don’t sell your life short — not before you’ve finished “War and Peace” and traveled to Malaysia. Jerry Springer does not deserve you.

TV addiction wastes time, mind

By Pablo Wegesend Ka Leo Staff Columnist

There are times when violence is wrong. It is wrong to attack someone just to people’s posses-sions. It is wrong to use force on others just to get sexual satisfac-tion. It is wrong to attack someone based on race, gender, sexual ori-entation or religion. But there are also times when violence is necessary. Statements like that, however, are considered blasphemy by some in our university. Two events, one in Hawai`i, another in Iraq, illus-trate the occasional necessity of violence. First, let’s go over the incident in Iraq. In Fallujah, a U.S. Marine killed a wounded Islamic mili-tant who appeared to be unarmed because there was no gun in his hand. Because of that one fact alone, there has been outrage directed toward that U.S. Marine. That outrage is misdirected — for one thing, this incident hap-pened in the Middle East, where Islamic militants don’t hesitate to blow themselves up! That Islamic militant probably had an explosive device hiding under his clothing. How would the U.S. Marine know if that’s the case? The Marine would have to go very close to that Islamic militant to find out. Once that happens, chanc-es are very high that the Islamic militant would’ve blown himself up and killed the U.S. Marine in

the process. That could’ve hap-pened if the U.S. Marine gave first aid or arrested that Islamic mili-tant. Under those circumstances, most people would’ve shot and killed that Fallujah terrorist! I would — it’s my life or his! Or at least, his life or me coming home being a medical burden on my family and society. Some would call that “racist” or “anti-Arab.” Those who would say that don’t realize that those Islamic militants don’t just brutalize Americans. They brutalized Arabs more often than anyone else. Let’s not forget that Islamic militants blew up a Christian church attended by native Iraqis. Let’s not forget that ousted Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and his sons severely brutalized and killed thousands of Arabs and Kurds. These Islamic militants aren’t nice to their own people. Closer to home, there’s another incident where necessary violence occurred. On Sept. 6, a Kahuku farmer, Khamxath Baccam, shot and killed an intruder who was stealing crops and equipment. The intruder, Marcelino Pacheco, was a known crystal methamphetamine user. So what would we expect Baccam to do with someone intruding on his property? He could plead all night long with the intruder, trying to reason with him to leave. But anyone liv-ing in reality knows that won’t work. And you wouldn’t want to

get near someone who is intruding on your property. Chances are, as in the case described, the intruder is on crystal meth and is capable of violence. You might say “Call the police!” However, in a rural com-munity like Kahuku, it’ll take for-ever for the police to arrive. So chances are, if Baccam didn’t shoot the intruder, he would’ve been slashed to death by the time the police arrive. Criminals know that. Would you take that chance? Would you know if the intruder is on crystal meth and carrying a hid-den weapon? You wouldn’t know until the intruder attacks with fast, violent rage. Some might say, “How dare you stereotype someone who is intrud-ing on your property!” Excuse me, if that person has no moral qualms about intruding on others’ property, what makes you think he would have any moral qualms about slashing your face, stabbing your kidneys, or killing you? Baccam says he feels bad about killing the intruder. But he also

understands that in the real world there might be situations where you have to protect yourself with deadly force. However, too many people have been sheltered from that reality, which is why some of them say, “Just give the robbers what they want and you won’t get hurt.” Nonsense! Remember, it’s not Vice President Dick Cheney or Massachusets Sen. John Kerry getting robbed on the streets. Criminals know that those people are well protected. It is the average person that has one percent of the money Cheney or Kerry have who is getting robbed on the streets. That fact alone shows you that it’s not about the possessions that common people have, it’s about their vulnerability. I remember a former coworker told me that when he was in mid-dle school, he would threaten other kids for money. He did that even though he had more than enough money in his pockets to buy him-self snacks and soda at 7-11. He did that because he thought it was

fun. Money wasn’t his motive, bully-ing others for fun was his motive. Does any thinking person think that kid would rob rap mogul Marion “Suge” Knight, who’s suspected of killing rapper Tu Pac Shakur, or actor “The Rock,” both of whom have way more money than most robbery victims? No way! Knight or "The Rock” would’ve given that kid a severe beat down! That former coworker agreed with me when I mentioned that you can’t reason with thieves, mug-gers, rapists, or other criminals. Those violent criminals think that reasoning is for sissies. The only language they understand is fear and violence. So when a group of violent thugs steps up to you, it’s either 1) run and hope they don’t catch up, 2) knock them out, or 3) point a pistol in their face. It doesn’t matter if you don’t like those options. You can be politically correct all you want. But muggers, rapists, burglars and ter-rorists never were, aren’t and never

would score again on a shorter pass from Chang, but a blocked point-after attempt by Ayat would keep the Warriors one point behind the Spartans, 28-27, to open the fourth. “They’re a great team, that’s what they’re known for, and our defense rose to the occasion,” Owens said. “They stopped them when they needed to. I tip my hats off to them, they played a great game they put us in great position to win the game.” “I mean our defense we bend a little, but we didn’t break,” Ayat said. “Fortunately we did just enough to hold on and keep our lead. And come out in the second half, it’s a lot closer game. Offense was starting to get on a roll and I think the fans, and loudness, and intensity of the stadium that got our defense pumped up and held them off.” The Spartans started the fourth quarter by widening their lead to four points after a 49-yard field goal by Dave Rayner. But a 1-yard touchdown run by Chang, and Owens’s fourth touchdown catch of the night would put UH ahead for good at 41-31. Teague scored the last goal for Michigan State to narrow the gap 41-38 but could not pull off the comeback. “We got one more, I just thank the rest of the guys who played the way they did, you know for the seniors it was just awesome,” said Owens. The win and bowl invitation made it a much happier Senior night, and those same 26 players took the field after the game to say thank you and goodbye to their fans, friends, staff and collegiate

careers as their final regular season schedule came to an end. The same play makers who have continued to keep the Warriors going strong this season will have one more game together and look to make it as memorable as it will be enjoyable. “Our opponents University of Alabama (Birmingham), we haven’t really watched anything on them yet, but I heard they have a pretty good team,” Komine said. “They got a good quarterback. We’ll just check them out and we’ll be ready to play.” “It’s an honor to be playing in a bowl game,” Chang said. “It’s a reward for your season play and we’re definitely going to enjoy this game.” The Hawai‘i Bowl is sched-uled for 2 p.m. on Dec. 24 at Aloha Stadium. BCS set: With three teams finishing the regular season unde-feated, one would have to be left out of the national championship game. Last year it was Southern California. This year, it’s the Auburn Tigers. Finishing the season 12-0 and with a Southeastern Conference championship, the Tigers fin-ished third in the final Bowl Championship Series standings yesterday. This made Auburn the odd man out, and bound for the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 3 when they will take on Virginia Tech. USC and Oklahoma will play for the BCS national championship in the Orange Bowl on Jan. 4. For the first time, a mid-major school will play in a BCS game when Utah plays Pittsburg in the Fiesta Bowl on Jan 1. Also playing on New Year’s Day will be Texas and Michigan in the Rose Bowl.

Warriors: UH to meet Alabama in Hawai‘i Bowl

From page 1

“Offensively its hard to come out shooting all the time,” senior wide receiver Britton Komine stated after the game. It certainly was difficult for Hawai‘i to get anything started on offensive against an explosive Spartan team. “Chad Owens made some big plays, got us started, got us rolling,” Komine said. Owens did help get the Warriors on a roll down 21-0 late in the second quarter. With 56 seconds left before intermission, Owens caught a 36-yard touchdown from Chang to put UH within seven points, 21-14. On that scoring drive, Owens caught four passes for 76 yards to give the team a glimmer of hope of coming back

against the Spartans. At half the score stood 28-14, UH down but not out. Out of the half Chang did what he did best, hit Owens for a touch-down. Chang bulleted the ball and Owens received it in stride going across the middle for a 51-yard touchdown. That play took only seven seconds and stunned the Spartan sideline. Chang ended up on the day passing for 416 yards on 29 completions on 49 attempts and four touchdowns. Owens and Chang were not done as later in the third quarter they hooked up for the third time. With 3:36 left on the clock in the third, Owens caught a 9-yard pass to pull the Warriors within one, 28-27. The fourth quarter proved to be no different for Owens or Chang. A one-

yard run by Chang gave UH its first lead of the game, 41-31 with 9:22 left in the contest. He finished the game with three rushes for 32 yards. Owens finally ended any chance of a Spartan comeback when he pulled in his fourth touchdown reception of the game, his eighth in two games, which put the Warriors on top for good 41-31. He completed the game with a season-high 283 receiving yards and tying a season-high four touchdown receptions. If the Warriors had lost, that would have been that last time anyone would see the Chang-to-Owens connection in a Warrior uniform. But now, thanks to the duo, it wasn’t.

Offense: Chang, Owens connect again

Rainbows sweep past Purdue to Regionals

Ka Leo Staff

The Rainbow Wahine volleyball team swept past the Boilermakers of Purdue on Friday to advance to the Regionals in Green Bay, Wisc. The second-ranked ‘Bows made short work of Purdue, 33-31, 30-27, 30-19 in Ft. Collins, Colo. Hawai‘i improved to 30-0 on the season, and will face Wisconsin in the regional semifinal on Friday. Sophomore outside hitter Alicia Arnott, who hit under .100 against the Colorado on Thursday, con-tinued to struggle, posting a .154 hitting percentage, but led the team with 14 kills. Susie Boogaard con-tinued her hot streak against the Boilermakers, smashing 13 kills while hitting .375. She also col-lected 10 digs. Hawaii’s middles were also effective, with Kari Gregory put-ting down nine kills while hitting .500, and Victoria Prince adding seven kills on a .467 hitting per-centage. The Boilermakers (17-15), who were coming off a five-game upset over host Colorado State the night before, was held to hitting .176. After the ‘Bows jumped out to an early 6-2 lead in Game 1,

the Boilermakers came back to make it close going into the later stages of the game. Purdue led 21-15 before the ‘Bows went on a 9-2 run that gave them back the lead. The game ended on a kill by Prince after Purdue fought off three game points. The Wahine again had a fast start in Game 2, eventually jump-ing out to a 18-10 lead. Though the Boilermakers closed the gap, they would not be able to catch Hawai‘i as the ‘Bows took the

game 30-27. Behind the serving of Kelly Ong, the ‘Bows made it a sweep over the Boilermakers after Ong served up 10-straight points, including two aces in Game 3, breaking what was an 18-18 tie. The ‘Bows returned home Saturday and will leave for Wisconsin tomorrow for their match against the Badgers. The winner of the match will face the winner of the Stanford/Texas match.

Rainbow Wahine Kari Gregory, shown above against Santa Clara earlier this year, put down 9 kills against Purdue. She finished with a .500 hitting percent-age on the ‘Bows’ three-game win Friday.
