The Student Network for Ac-tion and Progress is planning a march on the state capitol on Nov. 22 to protest the decrease in state funding to the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. “The march itself is to bring attention to the loss of funding to University of Hawai‘i system over the last five years,” march organizer and SNAP founder Christopher Stump said. “Forty-seven million dollars has been lost this year alone.” According to Stump, the or-ganization hopes to be able to give the student body the ability to lobby for its interests directly. He hopes the march will “bring attention to the fact that the university here in Hawai‘i is the best investment for the state of Hawai‘i’s future.” “By cutting programs the legislatures are limiting them-selves to tourism and outside sources,” Stump said.

Stump said the state legisla-ture is putting public tax money into infrastructures that benefit tourism, which he believes is the state’s main industry. “(The last few years) have been boom years, so you have to think there is a lot more money coming in, so why are they cut-ting funding?” Stump said.

THE UNIVERSITYʼS FUNDING According to Rep. Isaac Choy, the issues surrounding the state’s allotted money are complex and involve several parties, as the uni-versity benefi ts from public fund-ing because it is a public school. State legislators dictate how much public money goes to the university system as a whole and to individual campuses. Each campus’ administration dictates how the funds are dispersed within the campus system. The Board of Regents decides what to set student tuition at, calculating how much funds are r e q u i r e d from the s t u d e n t body.

Choy said the budget is divided between the student tuition and public tax funds allocated by the state legislator.

RIS ING COSTS FOR THE UNIVERSITY “State support, as wonderful as it has been, has dropped by over $4,000 per undergraduate at UH Mānoa in just four years,” UH Mānoa Chancel-lor Tom Apple said. “Our utility costs have risen by over $1,000 per student in that same four-year period. Those two things account for more than one-half of our current tuition.” The rise in operating costs along with the decrease in funds has led to student tuition being raised several times during the last several years. According to Choy, as the economic climate worsened around 2008, UH continued to expand, taking on several large

d e v e l o p m e n t projects.

At the center of these projects has been the UH Mānoa Cam-pus Center. The Campus Center project was partially funded by the state legislature. “We did support partial fund-ing of that facility at the Campus Center,” Sen. David Ige said. “Part of it was that the students came to ask for it and were will-ing to commit their funds.”

S IMILAR INTERESTS A UH Mānoa graduate, Ige said he believes many legisla-tors share the same concerns students have as they hear from students and their parents. “(An) educated society and workforce betters everyone’s life

and is very important to the economy,” Choy said.

Jan Sullivan, chairwoman of the BOR Budget and Finance com-mittee, said the university needs the commitment of the state to properly support higher education. “But we also need the com-mitment of the board, the admin-istration and all of those employed by and affected by the university to help make the positive changes that will allow it to operate more responsibly, effi ciently and with the best interests of its benefi cia-ries – the students,” Sullvian said. Choy said there are numerous needs besides the university’s. “We spend every dollar; we don’t save anything,” Choy said. “So if you want the legislature to give more money, what do you want us to cut? There are so many needs – the homeless, the elderly, public safety.” Choy said that every UH Mānoa student should “think this

through.”

Senior Staff Writer

As newly appointed chief of Cam-pus Security and Emergency Man-agement, Charles Noffsinger plans to improve the overall standard of safety at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa by incorporating community polic-ing, engaging in open dialogue and improving policy development. Noffsinger assumed the role on Sept. 30 after a three-month national search conducted by Campus Ser-vices management and the Offi ce of the Vice Chancellor of Administra-tion, Finance and Operations. He succeeds the late Wayne K. Ogino. Noffsinger previously was deputy chief of staff operations with the University of Michigan Police Department.

PERCEPTIONS OF SAFETY Noffsinger’s fi rst priority is the perception of safety. He said if people don’t feel safe or believe it’s a safe community, then that’s a starting point for him. “I can point to a lot of statis-tics and say – from a law enforce-ment background, talking with the Honolulu Police Department, looking at a lot of data and activ-ity that occurs on the shifts – it’s a safe community,” Noffsinger said. “But if people don’t feel that way, then I have a lot of work to do and so does the department.” Noffsinger said he stays fo-cused on what the community feels. He recently had a conversa-tion with student athletes, who asked about opportunities for en-hancing lighting on lower campus. “I can go back and run data to show there isn’t really a lot of problems down there,” Noffs-inger said. “But if the community doesn’t feel safe there, if they’re not feeling that it’s a safe, healthy, good, secure environment, then that’s the reality and that’s where I have to work. That’s where my department needs to stay focused.

It’s balancing accessibility with safety and security, and also bal-ancing community expectations, community needs.” Noffsinger said it’s hard at times to defi ne the concept of safety. “I may feel completely safe while others may not,” Noffsing-er said. “It ’s such an individual-ized, personal thing.”

COMMUNITY POLIC ING Noffsinger believes in the concept of campus policing, an approach related to serving, in-teracting and becoming a part of the community. “When you really integrate that philosophy, then it should permeate through your whole organization, through your policies, through your training, certainly through your

programs and through your initia-tives with the community,” Noffs-inger said. “So it’s really becoming an integral part with the communi-ty, not just staff members working for the university.” As a short-term goal, Noffsing-er wants to establish a community policing unit through training. “I certainly want to get some of our staff trained in crime prevention through environmental design,” Noffsinger said. “That will allow us to do a lot of security audits and sur-veys of facilities around campus and become a part of the discussions for making campus safer.” Noffsinger believes the UH community should become part of the process of community safety. “Everybody has a role to play,” Noffsinger said. “My de-partment and my staff are out in

the field and have a huge role to play in the campus community, but everybody does as well.”

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AND PREPAREDNESS The last natural disaster to hit UH Mānoa was the f lood of 2004, which caused $39 million in dam-age. Noffsinger hopes to be more prepared for future disasters. “To my understanding, there have been ongoing planning, de-sign work, to help mitigate that po-tential in the future – specifi cally to that kind of event relative to the Mānoa streams,” Noffsinger said. “In terms of the broader planning efforts we’re very lucky to have Jimmy Lagunero. He is directly responsible for emergency man-agement, planning and prepared-ness here at UH Mānoa.”

Noffsinger and Lagunero have had regular discussions and meetings and are in the pro-cess of revising the Mānoa emer-gency and operations plan. How-ever, Noffsinger is comfortable with the current plan. He said the community can find the plan on Campus Security’s website. “I encourage the community to familiarize themselves with some of those plans and some of the protocols that are there,” Noffsinger said. “We’re continu-ing to revisit those so that has been taking a lot of my time as well. I come from the mainland, so preparing for hurricanes, tsunamis, volcanoes and earth-quakes is something new for me. But we have a lot of institutional knowledge here, a lot of exper-tise, and I feel pretty comfort-able with the plans we have in place for that.” If you have any questions, concerns or suggestions for the Chief, you can reach him at 956-9802 and noff@hawaii.edu.

The new generation of gam-ing consoles has dawned with the Nov. 15 release of Sony’s PlayStation 4 and the Nov. 22 re-lease of Microsoft’s Xbox One. While the two may share many

of the same games, they’re com-pletely different machines. Each packs exclusive features and power levels in the hopes that one will outsell the other this coming holiday season. Which console should be on your Christmas list? Ka Leo breaks it down for you:

We recommend: PS

Prior to this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo, Sony and

Microsoft held press conferences to unveil new systems. Xbox’s hype dropped when rules such as man-datory daily sign-ins on Live and re-strictions on playing traded games were introduced. Although Micro-soft addressed these issues, their customer loyalty took a heavy blow. Throughout the pre-E3 con-ference as well as at E3, Microsoft attempted to broaden its market by focusing on the entertainment aspect of the console. The previ-ous PR issues and lack of gam-ing focus may have resulted in a percentage of hardcore gamers switching to Sony, who has had an excellent PR campaign.

As mentioned before, both systems share many game titles while also featuring exclusives such as “Halo” (Xbox One) and “God of War” (PS4). PlayStation excels in Indie gaming, which opens up a realm of cheap gaming, while Xbox has traditionally had more success with its exclusives. The bulk of games developed will be available to both consoles thanks to third-party developers. The graphics are becoming in-creasingly realistic, putting pressure on which gaming rig can produce the best. In one study, side-by-side comparisons were made for “Call of Duty: Ghosts,” which resulted in PS4 running 1080p (frame rate), while Xbox One only ran at 720p. The PS4 is said to be at least 50 per-cent more powerful than the Xbox One with higher RAM bandwidth, faster graphic processing power and a greater number of graphics shaders. Graphics aren’t everything, but if gamers want the best visual experience, PS4 is the pick. Another major factor in the con-sole war is the price tag. While the PS4 is priced at $400 and costs $50 a

year to play online, Xbox One costs $500 and $60 a year. Keep in mind that the Xbox One includes a Kinect 2 in its bundle. Overall, the PS4 excels over the Xbox One in many aspects. Microsoft’s decision to focus on becoming a home-entertainment system with its emphasis on me-dia beyond gaming, as well as the aforementioned PR issues, has gamers questioning their loyalty. In the end, the PS4’s hardware creates a true next-gen console, giving gamers a reason to be excited for the near future. The $100 difference also catches the eye of the customer. Considering these factors, the PS4 may be the better option.

Staff Writer School lunches are more im-portant than you think. Kendra Ozaki with Hawai‘i Association of Independent Schools has worked to ensure that Hawai‘i’s keiki are getting fed the right foods. “A lot of these kids eating free and reduced meals, that’s the only meal they are going to get all day,” Ozaki said. Getting local and healthy foods in schools is not only impor-tant for the health of the children, but for Hawai‘i’s future as well.

BUTTERFLY EFFECT Children carry early eating hab-its for the rest of their lives. “I f we don’t set the stan-dard, who will look out for the kids?” Ozaki asked. Her mission of getting healthy, local, sustainably sourced foods in Hawai‘i’s schools has proven to be diffi cult. “Cost is always an issue, but chil-dren are the future,” Ozaki said. With the rise of diabetes and obesity in Hawai‘i, instilling good health habits is critical. In addition, weaning off imported foods is not only benefi cial for our economy and environment, but it supports our own local food system. Growing up in Kuliouou, Ozaki remembers Hawai‘i Kai when it was an agricul-tural community. She understands fi rsthand the challenges of dock strikes and food shortages. “The amount of food we have stocked up for Hawai‘i would only last us 4 days,” she said. “It used to be

more, we used to have local chickens and pigs at least too.” Getting gardens in schools is a crucial fi rst step toward healthy eat-ing and sustainability. “School gardens are so impor-tant because it educates kids about food,” Ozaki said. “Kids will go home and tell their parents.” So far, the fl exibility of private schools has made it a bit easier to work on getting local food on the lunch menu. In collaboration with Kapi‘olani Community College, she is designing local menus for six. Many of the children show interest in the project by being in-volved with a school garden.

KEEPING IT LOCAL Ozaki is a strong supporter of lo-cal food production. She encourages farmers markets and buying local. “It’s the small things that can change the prices,” she said. “People need to understand that. When the cost of feed or fuel costs go up, it costs more to raise local cattle for beef production.” Schools are offering a fair market price to purchase local produce, but transporting the goods has proven to be an uphill battle. The Hawai‘i Department of Education currently doesn’t have the means to transport the produce, and food distributors de-mand too high a price for delivery. Despite these challenges, Ozaki, in collaboration with other local food advocates like Lisa Asagi and Sharon Peterson, have traded in imported eggs for fresh local eggs from Pe-tersons Upland Farm at Windward Nazarene Academy. Other local sta-ples, like sweet potato, are now in the

works. Projects like “Huli Hui,” a food waste reduction project that distrib-utes surplus foods, help connect the dots between farmers and schools. Most importantly, the dedi-cated cafeteria chefs seal the deal. Although the whole school needs to be on board, having a good re-lationship with the chefs really moves the process along. “Some of these chefs are cook-ing 300 meals from scratch on two kitchen stoves,” Ozaki said. “It’s real-ly amazing. Most schools make their menus a year in advance, but they are willing to work it out when something unexpected comes along.”

NATURE DEFIC IT SYNDROME While Hawai‘i is still behind in its potential to providing local foods in schools, there are some school gar-dens that have been successful local-ly. In addition to teaching kids about sustainability and healthy eating, these gardens are fi ghting what is known as Nature Defi cit Syndrome. “Kids are sitting in their class-rooms with their iPads, and they don’t even climb trees anymore,” Ozaki said. “Getting outside is so important, and everyone is so con-cerned about liability, we don’t let kids play anymore.” We need to take advantage of our beautiful location and show kids that nature and science are amazing, beautiful things, and school gardens are a way to spread that message. Not only does it promote healthy eating, local food, sustainability and food se-curity, it also gets children outside. In support of local foods and our keiki, why not start a garden of your own?

You may have heard of Super PACs, as Stephen Colbert owns one to garner unregulated donations. Super PACs can spend and raise an unlimited amount to fund political actions as long as they do not work directly with a political candidate or party. Though Super PACs have a bad reputation for accumulating obscene amounts of money and put-ting out negative advertisements, two students at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa have formed a super PAC for the greater good, and they are calling on everyone on cam-pus to get up and get active. Chris Stump and Antonia Ag-bannawag started their Super PAC, called Student Network for Action and Progress. Stump, an ASUH senator, found himself frustrated with the ineffectiveness of much of the grassroots work done through various outlets. He asked himself what really gets people moving and realized it is money. Stump decided to start SNAP to marry grassroots organizing with top-down efforts to support community efforts for pro-gressive change. This Friday, SNAP will be hold-ing a march to the capitol from Bach-man Hall. This march will demand action from the legislature in the upcoming session to prioritize the university and its students and ad-dress the sudden loss of funding the campus is experiencing. In 1999, a similar march or-ganized by faculty gathered 5,000 people, and Stump and Agbannawag hope this march will attract a similar number of students, faculty and staff. No matter whom you talk to in any department or offi ce on campus, it’s clear that cuts to the university bud-get hurt everyone.

“This march allows us to re-ally show what suffering can oc-cur to students, buildings, facul-ty, positions and programs when funding is cut from the univer-sity,” Agbannawag said. “Every year, we watch tuition increase, but what are we going to do about it? This is about coming together at this critical moment and bring this issue to the legislature as our representatives approach the leg-islative session.” KHON reported in August that students here have seen a 50 percent rise in tuition in fi ve years, and it is expected to increase at seemingly uncontrollable rates. “We see tuition go up every sin-gle year, but it seems we forget there is a strong association with class sizes going up and class availability going down,” Stump said. “There is no money for research and no money for graduate students to travel. This is a research institute, so how can we continue to operate?” It’s clear that our quality of edu-cation as well as the status of the university is in jeopardy the more we become complacent about the loss of funding and the constant scramble to stay within the annual budget. “The university keeps talking about its deferred maintenance, and things like that should not be coming out of student tuition,” Stump said. Every year, students continue to bear more and more of the university’s fi nancial hardships, and it’s time to say no to this careless cycle. SNAP is giving the campus community a safe space to voice its opinions. This Friday, consider taking a few hours off work or skipping a class to join the start of an exciting movement to envision a brighter future for students, faculty, staff and the university as a whole. The march kicks off at 1 p.m. on Friday on the lawn of Bachman Hall.

Rainbow Wahine seek revenge Rainbow Wahine seek revenge in conference double headerin conference double header

HAYLEY MUSASHI

Staff Writer

Since the dawn of the Dave Shoji era, the Rainbow Wahine volleyball team has been the defi nition of excellence in women’s NCAA Division I volleyball. But in a season that has been unexpect-edly average, the ‘Bows will need to pick up two wins in their fi nal home conference stint this weekend if they hope to become Big West title contenders. Coming off of its fi rst bye week in nearly three months, No. 12 Hawai‘i (20-4, 9-3 Big West) will host UC Davis (14-13, 6-8 BWC) and Big West-leading Cal State Northridge (22-5, 12-2 BWC) in a conference doublehead-er in hopes of evening the score after losing to both teams on the road in fi ve-set thrillers. After the ‘Bows were handed their fi rst conference loss by UC Santa Barbara (15-9, 10-2 BWC) – which snapped their 77-match conference winning streak – the once invincible Rainbow Wahine fell into a slump as they lost to both UC Davis and CSUN two weeks later on the road.

MATADOR MATCH UP Following the loss to UCSB, the Rainbow Wahine knew the importance of the matchup against Northridge, but the highly contested battle did not end in favor of the ‘Bows as the Matadors took the match in fi ve sets. The fi rst two frames foreshadowed the rest of the game, as both sides remained close throughout the night. Eventually, the Matadors capitalized on a four-point run in the fi fth set to distance themselves from the ‘Bows and take the match. Although CSUN handed the ‘Bows their second loss of the conference season, the Rain-bow Wahine outhit their opponent, racking up 75 kills to the Matadors’ 70. However, the Mata-dor defense out-blocked UH 28 to 22. Despite the loss, the evening was not with-out some sort of accolade as senior outside hitter Emily Hartong tallied 25 kills, allowing her to eclipse 1,300 and earning her a spot just outside of UH’s top 10 in career kills.

STRUGGLE ON THE ROAD As shocking as it was to see a loss hand-

ed to the ‘Bows, it was an even greater blow to their record as the UC Davis Aggies up-set the then-No. 8 Wahine in another fi ve-set marathon the following night. From fi rst serve, it was evident that the Aggies would not easily succumb to the Rainbow Wahine, as they took the fi rst two sets of the match. The ‘Bows returned from intermission with a vengeance, easily taking the following two sets, but eventually fell to UCD. Though the ‘Bows returned home win-less, they showcased dominance on both sides of the ball as they outhit the Aggies .234 to .211 and out-dug them 79 to 72. Sophomore middle blocker Jade Vorster posted a match-high seven blocks.

WHERE THEY STAND Since their fi rst meeting, Cal State Northridge has won fi ve of its last six games, including three in straight sets. As the Matadors celebrated their home fi -nale last weekend, they fell in their second match-up against UCSB, their only two con-ference losses of the season. CSUN sits atop the Big West leaderboard and following its game against Hawai‘i, will face UC Davis in its fi nal conference match. After its win against the ‘Bows, UC Davis has won two of its last six games and is currently riding a four-game losing streak, most recently falling to Cal Poly last weekend. The Aggies are currently ranked fifth in the Big West.

WAHINE BACK ON TRACK After their winless road trip, the ‘Bows seem to have returned to their normal domi-nance, taking their last four matches in de-cisive victories and most notably defeating UCSB on the road in a must-win situation. The Rainbow Wahine are ranked third in the Big West and are two games behind CSUN.

The University of Hawai‘i men’s basketball team traveled more than 4,000 miles last week-end in its longest trip of the sea-son to face Missouri. Not only was this the longest dis-tance the team would travel this year, it was also its fi rst road game. Missouri may be the highest caliber opponent the Rainbow Warriors will face. The beginning of the Warriors’ season has been as challenging as head coach Gib Arnold intended. The Outrigger Hotels and Resorts Rainbow Classic also saw a set of opponents that made up the most successful group of teams to play in recent tournament history. When asked about the diffi cult schedule before the classic, Arnold had a plan in mind for his newly formed squad. “As a coach, that’s why we do that,” Arnold said. “We want to see where we are after two weeks. Hopefully, a couple weeks in, we’ll improve quite a bit.”

The Warriors are 2-2 in that span, including losses to New Mex-ico State and Missouri. One thing Arnold didn’t plan for was the injuries that would take place at the season’s infan-cy. Sophomore transfer Quincy Smith has been battling a back injury that has limited him. In addition, senior guard Brandon Spearman injured his ankle dur-ing the team’s fi rst exhibition game, which caused him to miss the Rainbow Classic. Spearman returned last week-end against Missouri and scored 11 points in his regular season debut. Despite injuries and mixed results, the team has come to-gether under a faster pace of play to present a high scoring offense led by their talented frontcourt. The Warriors are averaging 82 points per game so far this sea-son, compared to 73 last year. Starters Christian Stand-hardinger and Isaac Fotu are aver-aging a combined 31 points and 15 rebounds per game. Their inside

presence has been paramount to the Warriors’ offensive success. Newly eligible starting point guard Keith Shamburger has been the catalyst for the improvement of the offense. His impact has been felt as the team averages 11 turnovers per game, which is also an improve-ment from last season. The Warriors will further test their offense against UH Hilo this week. The Division II Vulcans are 1-1 on the season and face Western State College on the eve of their game against the Warriors. This is the second Pac-West team that the Warriors are facing this season. The ‘Bows played BYU-Hawai‘i in a preseason exhibition that they won 101-85 in their fi rst competitive action of the season.
