The No. 11 University of Hawai‘i women’s volleyball team made a state-ment last year by going undefeated in its Big West Conference debut. But the Rainbow Wahine were just 1-3 against ranked teams. However, with the toughest oppo-nent in the country looming, this year’s squad maintains that it is ready for the challenges of the up-coming season. “We’re pushing each other,” senior setter Mita Uiato said. “There is a lot of competition. We have always been deep, but this year we are all really hungry, espe-cially with the seven seniors. And the young girls are really competi-tive too, so they push us.”

As of Aug. 1, the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s Offi ce of Pub-lic Health Studies will be able to provide more opportunities for its students by signing on as a found-ing member of a national public health association. The Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health is a Council on Education for Public Health-accredited organization that will allow students in UH Mānoa’s OPHS to access fellow-ships that are funded by the Center for Disease Control and the federal government, according to OPHS Director Jay Maddock. “As a founding member, we have certain benefi ts that we can pass on to our students. We can offer more fellowships for our stu-dents, more research opportuni-ties, which we wouldn’t have if we weren’t a member, especially a

founding member,” said Thomas Lee, a second year Public Health Studies graduate student special-izing in epidemiology. OPHS can now intervene in how the organization runs and how its governance is developed, refer-ring to how the bylaws and the con-stitution are written. “We really have an active voice in saying how this organi-zation runs, and so if we elected not to become a founding mem-ber and waited until next year, a lot of work would be done and we wouldn’t have the chance to have input,” Maddock said. ASPPH is the successor to the Association of Schools of Pub-lic Health, which was established in 1953, according to its website. The association changed its name and mission this past year to in-clude both schools and programs of public health, now representing 50 schools of public health in the United States.

“I think that’s important be-cause it’s really a transition of an organization from something that was all schools of public health to now including programs and to making sure that programs have a strong and active voice in the orga-nization,” Maddock said. ASPPH also represents 35 of the 100 public health programs in the country. “This is the strongest advo-cacy body that we have in the na-tion for public health education,” Maddock said. “So really we’re speaking as one unifi ed voice for government funding, for the im-portance of educating the public health workforce, the importance of accreditation of public health programs. This lets us be part of that national conversation.” ASPPH is considered a new or-ganization from the Association of Schools and Public Health due to its name and mission change, ac-cording to Maddock. As of Aug. 1,

everyone who has joined is one of the founding members. Maddock said that being a founding member of the organiza-tion “really helps put the University of Hawai‘i in the national conversa-tion around public health. So it re-ally helps give us a much broader profi le, and it helps us to work with the best institutions in the country.” The Offi ce of Public Health Studies offers master’s degree pro-grams in four areas of specializa-tion and two doctoral degree pro-grams, according to its website. “It’s really good, not only for just the school and that it brings recog-nition again, because for a while not a lot of people, especially Hawai‘i, were aware that we had a depart-ment of public health,” Lee said. “And now that we’re fi nally a mem-ber, just spreading the word locally and within the nation, internation-ally, it’s going to bring more recogni-tion to UH and UH’s School of Public Health and get more students in.”

Three weeks, 90 hours, determi-nation, destruction and rebirth – this is what it takes to make artwork in a drawing marathon. This summer, students at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa learned to work past com-placency and approach resolution. “The fi rst thing I say to everyone is ‘This is my life.’ So don’t come here and underestimate my life,” professor Reem Bassous said. “You’re either here to be a serious artist and stu-dent, or if you think that this is rec-reational painting, then go to an art center. Because I mean really, people think that painting or drawing is fun. No, it’s not. This is hard work.” She teaches this idea through a three-week intensive ART 400 course called a drawing marathon. Each day consists of constructing artwork nonstop from 9 a.m. to 2:45 p.m., with one 30-minute break. She was inspired to teach draw-ing marathons after attending one herself in 2002. The challenging nature of the course is designed to expose students to what it’s like to

work as professional artists do, devot-ing time to the studio and learning to deal with the vexation that comes with the creative process. “You need to spend countless hours in the studio in order to come up with an image, an idea or anything,” Bassous said. “And in that sense, with the marathon, you start them off with an idea. … And then there is minimal interference (on my part) ... but oth-erwise the struggle and frustration is very much a part of the practice.” At times, the frustration seemed intolerable and persever-ance was tested. “The fi rst few days, I just wanted to drop out,” student Sar-ah Clapp said. “I was like, it’s not worth it. It’s so much work.” “Throughout the day you can see we’re all dwindling in energy and we’re like, ‘I’m totally over this right now. I’m not feeling this piece at all,’” student Theodore Furer said. “Every day you’ll see someone take their brush and completely erase it.” When students weren’t happy with what they produced, they were encouraged to do whatever it took to rework the piece.

“One of the girls in our class cut her work up, put tape over it, ripped it apart, stomped on it, poured paint on it. In every lit-eral sense destroy it. (Bassous) is known for being accepting of fl ame work. Like setting it on fi re, using fi reworks on it,” Furer said. Each day students were required to start a new art piece as a way to pre-vent students from getting too attached to their work, a concept Bassous high-lighted during the marathon. “If one part is working and ev-erything else is just not, lose it,” she said. “Kill the piece in order to bring it back. The whole approach to this class is that everything you do is not precious. And if you think that it is precious, you’re not going to make any progress.” The course is intended for artists of the intermediate level, which are students who have completed begin-ning level art classes. Although the class isn’t restricted to art majors, they are typically the only students who take the class. Artwork from the class is on display at the Commons Gallery until Sept.27.

I have two friends that are causing a bunch of drama in our social circle, and I’m not sure what to do about it. They did date at one point, but it’s been over a year now since they broke up. We’re all part of a pretty tight-knit group, so they’ve stayed friends, but over the last few months they’ve been pretty ridiculous. If we do anything that involves a few drinks, it’s a coin-fl ip to see whether or not they’re going to end up screaming profanity at each other or hook up and cry about what a mistake it was the next day. Everyone, especially me, is sick of their drama: Is there a way to fi x this? -Fed up friend

This is a bit of a sticky situation for sure. It sounds like they never should have dated in the first place, but of course they couldn’t have known that. I’m guessing that there’s no way they can salvage this by having a friends-with-benefits relationship? The back-and-forth yelling sounds like there are a lot of unre-solved, mixed-up feelings between the two of them still, which is not healthy in any way. I’m also going to assume that you’re close enough to be honest with at least one of the two, because that ’s the answer to your problem – brutal honesty. After we leave our teenage years behind, we hopefully be-come mature, functioning adults. Unfortunately, relationships often prevent this. Sit your boy or girl down and tell them exactly how they’re acting. I’m sure it’s embarrassing for you to be out in public with them when they’re all riled up, and it should be at the very least equally as embarrassing for them when they wake up with each other. Tell them flat out that they need to find the tiniest bit of self control and act like adults, not hormone-riddled teens. They either need to stay away from each other for a while until all the rage and lust cools down, not be friends anymore or try dating again after they figure out why they’re fighting. It’s not fair to them, and it’s definitely not fair for them to expect you and your friends to put up with it. Besides being childish and unfair, it’s not good for their health. Emotionally, they’re not going to move on and be pro-ductive. Mentally, it’s just too stressful to maintain this sort of relationship for long. Socially, the circle of friends will fold and stop inviting one or both of them to whatever function just so they don’t have to deal with it. Make sure that you thoroughly explain how you think they’re acting and how it directly af fects their relationship with their other friends. You don’t have to be

rude about it, but don’t sugarcoat it either. You also have to remain impartial, or you’ll risk alienating whomever

you talk to. Hopefully you won’t be brushed off and the cycle won’t continue until something more unfortunate than yelling happens.

The ‘Bows were 27-3 for the 2012 season, losing to nationally ranked California and UCLA, then falling to Washington in a fi ve-set match that knocked UH out of the NCAA Tournament. But the Rainbow Wahine will face even tougher competition from the first serve as they open up against the defending national champions, No. 1 Texas. “We are really excited, and we are going in there with noth-ing to lose,” Uiato said. The Longhorns have many strengths, which combine to make them the favorites. But the Wahine know their advantages too. “We know that they are re-ally big and really athletic and that they have a lot of returners,” Uiato said. “We are just going in confident even though we know we are smaller. I think we have a good chance if we keep our en-ergy up and stay together.” Texas finished 29-4 in 2012

en route to the title. Leading the Longhorns will be junior outside hitter Haley Eckerman, who led the Big 12 Conference with 4.38 kills per set. She was followed by senior outside hitter Bailey Web-ster, who averaged 3.85 each set. With UH starting outside hitter Jane Croson transferring to Arizona, the competition for the open spot has been stiff, and head coach Dave Shoji has plenty of options on whom to play. “I don’t really know what is up Dave’s sleeve,” Uiato said. “I don’t think anybody does. He is trying out a lot of lineups with everybody outside. Everybody is pretty much producing, so this is a hard decision for him. We try to give everybody the equal reps so that they can prove themselves.” With a national best .325 team hitting percentage last sea-son, it is obvious that Texas has few f laws to exploit. The Wahine plan is to slow down the national

champs as much as possible. “Right now, we are working on trying to get as many touches on the block as we can to slow them down,” Uiato said. “Our speed is what we have on our side too. So we are

working on our offense and different speeds of sets too.” Hawai‘i will also face off against Texas-El Paso and San Diego as part of the Chevron Rainbow Wahine Invitational.
