Construction on the Daniel K. Inouye Center for Democratic Leadership is expect-ed to start in the fall as the university begins work on the pre-design phase. Clifford Planning & Architecture LLC and Pei Cobb Freed & Partners LLP are the design team for the project. The university hired the fi rms in late November to help align the new cen-ter’s programs with concepts for the new building. “And once we have that in better align-ment, once we are better in understanding our opportunities for the building, then we can move to a new phase to get into more of the technicalities of the building itself,” said Denise Konan, Dean of the College of Social Sciences and academic lead for the center. “So this is still a very early phase of the process.” Konan said they hope to have reports that will help guide the university in understanding what the options are in March or April. “So then I think we will use that to develop our approach,” Konan said. “And so our hope is that we will have that together next academic year. So construction could start next academic year.” The Board of Regents approved $5 million for the Inouye Center in October. The center will serve as a living tribute, honoring the legacy of Sen. Daniel Inouye, who was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1962 and earned the Medal of Honor for his heroism during World War II. Inouye passed away on Dec. 17, 2012.

CARRYING A LEGACY Stephen Meder, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Physical, Environmental and Long Range Planning, said the purpose of the Inouye Center is to benefit the state, region and country. “It’s broader than Mānoa in that it’s really to serve future gen-erations in the state of Hawai‘i,” Meder said. “And provide an in-spiring record of this man’s lega-cy. So we’re really looking at it to serve the people of Hawai‘i, the region and the country.” The center will house seven academic programs that look at civic engagement, civic responsibility and serving in the public sphere sector. “It ’s not just a library or a re-pository for his work, but that it should have a living legacy asso-ciated with it,” Konan said. “So we’re working with faculty right now to design academic pro-grams that would be affiliated with the center.” Konan said the center will also ar-chive Inouye’s congressional papers. “It ’s most appropriate for those to be at the f lagship re-search campus because we will have the faculty who would be pursuing research based on the papers,” she said. There will also be an oral history project that faculty are working on proposing. According to Konan, the College of Social Sciences is also looking at
putting together a degree in Public Policy or Public Affairs. “This is an area where the College of Social Sciences has history, and we think with the In-ouye Center it will position us re-ally well to have a world-class pro-gram in this area,” Konan said. The center will develop aca-demic programs on policy and lead-ership programs, an Inouye Fel-lows program, Hawai‘i Democratic Leadership partnerships, a lecture series and museum partnerships. “His legacy is an important one because I think in many ways he represented (the) best of Hawai‘i and some of the issues Hawai‘i faces,” Konan said. Konan said the university also sees opportunities to bring students in and have programs oriented to students understanding that with public service comes great respon-sibility. The center expects to serve the community, drawing in residents with activities and programs. “In our public policy initia-tive we will be getting together faculty from really multiple dis-ciplines to look at consequential public policy issues and to pro-vide research and insights that will inform the community in a way that we hope will elevate the dialogue,” Konan said.
A TEMPORARY HOME The center is slated to replace Henke Hall.
According to Konan, Henke Hall is ideal because of its proxim-ity to Hamilton Library, Jefferson Hall and the East-West Center. “It’s near the East-West Center, and we see that there are going to be synergies with the East-West Center,” Konan said. “So it seemed like a very ideal location for what we want, which is to have this be a new gateway to the university and a public space.” Meder said the Henke Hall lo-cation has not been fi nalized as the location for the center. The Planning Offi ce currently uses it as a storage location. It houses the School of Social Work, the Center for Biographical Re-search, a snail lab, a shark lab, the student center for the Pacifi c Island Studies program and offi ces for some of the theater faculty. Occupants will be moved to Gartley Hall or Kuykendall Annex. Noreen Mokuau, Dean for the School of Social Work, thinks the hall is a great place for the center. “I think it’s a great spot for the Inouye Center,” Mokuau said. “I mean this piece of property off East-West Road. It’s a beautiful spot for the Inouye Center, so I think it’s a great idea.” Her center will be moving to Gartley Hall, once construction is completed. She said she is looking forward to the move. “We have waited for quite some time to be some tenants of a building that can accommodate us in class-
rooms because currently in Henke there are no classrooms, so our stu-dents are spread out around campus,” Mokuau said. “So in Gartley what it will mean is, we’ll have faculty offi ces in one building as well as classrooms for our students. So we are actually looking forward to the move.”
OPPORTUNIT IES FOR STUDENTS Konan said there will be many opportunities for students to get in-volved with the center. “Some are around the kind of research that the faculty will want to do around the papers and the ar-chives and the oral history,” Konan said. “Students could get involved in that. Students could also get involved in some of these programs that we hope to design for the high-school students and the community.” UH Mānoa alumna Kelly Park is the project assistant for the center. “The main reason for getting involved in this project is because I see the great value and unique op-portunity that this project can bring to students,” Park said. “This project will entail activities and programs for students to creatively explore civic engagement, grow personal and pro-fessional leadership, fi nd mentors in our community and discover their important role and responsibility in the community.” Students who have any ideas or concerns about the center can email Konan at [email protected].
Archiving Sen. Inouye’s legacy Sen. Inouye’s congressional papers are cur-rently stored in Jefferson Hall, according to archivist Ellen Chapman. She said his collec-tion incorporates approximately 1,400 boxes. Inouye’s collection is closed until 2028. Chapman said it’s common for congressio-nal papers to be closed for 15 years once they’re donated. “Partly because they’re large collections,
it takes a while to process them,” Chapman said. “And partly because there are a lot of hot political issues, and the donor usually likes to wait until these things cool off a little bit.” Chapman said the Hawai‘i Congressio-nal Papers Collection Archives and Manu-scripts Department will hire two archival technicians as well as a Head of Congres-sional Papers Collection.
Archiving congressional papers includes making sure all of the fi les and papers have been received as well as transferring them to archival, acid-free folders and boxes. “So our goal is for us to preserve everything for hundreds of years so any-body can use them,” Chapman said. Chapman said the archiving process is ex-pected to take three years.

Healthy Granola Have you given up on granola?
Too much sugar, not so great oils and expensive? We did too. Then we thought, why not make our own instead choosing organic, highly
nutritious ingredients like Goji berries, local mac nuts, Kauai dried pineapple,
flax and sunflower seeds. Then kick out the canola and cane sugar and choose
organic coconut oil and local raw honey. You could even make it in your dorm
room toaster oven. And at just $.78 per 1/4 cup serving, it won’t break the
budget. Stop by Kokua for UH Student Sidney Morrow’s creation or check out
our bulk bins to make your own creation.

Utilizing University Health Services Questionable sourcesLET TER T O THE ED I T OR

Have you ever used the Health Services at the University? Did you know that each semester we pay a fee of $78 per semester for the student body to have the Health Center available? As students, I feel it is im-portant to know all the services provided to us. I have visited the Health Services before, but until recently, I did not know that the Health Services had a Women’s Clinic. This clinic provides services such as emergency contraception, family planning, screening and treatment for sexually transmitted in-fections, pregnancy testing and more. Being a young woman, I feel it is im-portant to make smart choices involving my own body. Knowing that we have a women’s health clinic on campus is reas-
suring. Having resources that are quick and close is something all women at the univer-sity should know about. If you’re not from here, coming to school in a diff erent state and being away from family can be diffi -cult. Living away from things we are famil-iar with makes situations regarding health more stressful and scary. The more we as students are informed about local services, the easier our lives will be. Especially since now we are supposed to be adults making well thought out decisions, knowing there is a place on campus to go for contracep-tion and other women’s health services is just something important for all female students to be aware of.
I recently stumbled across the article “Could the HPV vaccine be a lie?” Although this article resides in the Opinions section, it claims an alarming number of facts that can only be corroborated by dubious news sources such as The Inquisitr and newswire.net, which at fi rst glance sound legitimate, but even by their own admission are “a community of independent journalists.” According to newswire.net, “mem-bers publish news and press releases on their own behalf, and for their custom-
ers.” Membership on newswire.net is as easy as providing an email address, user-name and password. Nowhere on the FDA website could I fi nd Kim Luz’s claims that “the vaccina-tion can increase the risk of developing precancerous cells by 44.6 percent in some women.” In fact, I found a bullet point on the FDA’s site saying that the vaccine is for the prevention of precancerous cells.

The University of Hawai‘i men’s vol-leyball team returns to the court after an impressive showing in the Outrigger Volleyball Invitational to host a pair of conference matches against fourth-ranked Long Beach State.
EARLY SEASON SUCCESS While the No. 14 Rainbow Warriors (2-1) would eventually fall to UCLA in the championship match of last week-end’s tournament, Hawai‘i handily de-feated Ohio State and Penn State en route to Saturday’s matchup. “It kind of validates all the hard work the guys have been putting into it,” head coach Charlie Wade said. “We did get a couple of nice wins against what are tra-ditionally some pretty good programs, so just something to build on. Some nice stuff came out of this weekend. A lot of guys got to play, so I think everyone’s feeling pretty good about how the team has started.” In Saturday’s fi nale, outside hitters Sinisa Zarkovic and Jace Olsen, who each tallied 13 kills, led the Warriors. Zarkovic, an all-tournament selection, fi nished the Invitational with a team-best 44 kills but hit a season-low hitting percentage of .207 against the Bruins. Middle blocker Nick West, who was also named to the all-tournament team, racked up nine kills and three blocks.
“It’s all experience,” Olsen said. “I had a pretty good match against UCLA, which is a conference team. But I know those two East Coast teams. They’re ranked pretty high. But it’s nothing like MPSF competi-tion night in and night out. A lot of us are ready to get back on the court, show the community what we got, let them know that last year wasn’t a fl uke, that we’re here to stay and that we’re here to contend for a national championship.”
49ERS LOOK TO STRIKE GOLD Long Beach heads to the Aloha State having already begun conference play against Cal Baptist and most recently, Brigham Young. LBSU made quick work of Cal Baptist, sweeping the match and hitting .455 for the evening. The 49ers continued their conference-opening four-match road swing when they visited BYU on Saturday evening and fell 3-1. The Cougars, who are defending MPSF champions and 2013 NCAA fi nalists, evened their record to 2-2 while improving to 2-0 in the MPSF. Senior Taylor Crabb led the 49ers with a team-high 22 kills and nine digs while hitting at a .306 clip. Sophomore Andrew Whitt fol-lowed with a career-high 10 kills and fi ve digs.
FRESH FACES While the Warriors certainly have to battle to take home a pair of victories this week, it is clear that they have the confidence in each other and the staff to make that happen. “We keep coming back to camarade-
rie,” Olsen said. “Last year we had a lot of new guys coming in the gym that were older, but we also had 14 new faces. This year we have fi ve new faces, and they’re all freshmen. We have no transfers com-ing in. We have nobody from different schools. The competition in the practice gym is rigorous. If we’re not performing we’re going to be on that bench.” Along with the addition of the talented group of underclassmen, the recent hiring of assistant coach Milan Zarkovic, father of Sinisa, has sparked the enthusiasm and en-ergy level on the court. “The main difference is also that man over there, Milan Zarkovic,” Olsen said. “We talked a lot. We had a lot of discussions in the locker about what’s different. He’s the father fi gure that we have in and out of the practice gym, in and out of the locker room. I mean, he comes in, and it’s the little things – the pats on the back, the rubs on the ear – it just shows that he cares more about us than we ever thought. You come in every day, and you want to play for that guy.” Web Specialist Blake Tolentino contrib-uted to this story.
