The most prestigious tournament in college basketball will allow only the Big West Tournament champion to become one of the 40 seeds of March Madness. The BWT marks the first step in the post-season journey for Hawaii that could come to an end with a loss. Senior forward Christian Standhardinger does not want that journey to end anytime soon. I want to continue to play for Hawaii, and thats only possible if we win, he said. But before the Bows can think about competing against the best teams in the country in the NCAA Tournament, they have to win three games in three days to become the champions of the Big West. The Rainbow Warriors are the fourth seed heading into the first day of the tour-nament and will play the fifth-seeded Cal State Northridge team in the first round for the right to go dancing.

DANCING WITH THE MATADORS Despite its losing record on the season, Cal State Northridge (15-17, 7-9 BWC) has defeated all of the top-seeded teams in the conference: a feat only accomplished by UC Irvine and UC Santa Barbara, the top two tournament seeds. When were locked in, were very capa-ble of beating any team in this conference, said CSUN head coach Reggie Theus in the Big West teleconference call Monday. The Matadors defeated Hawaii (20-10, 9-7 BWC) on Jan. 11 in a 79-78 thriller at Northridge. The Warriors then found a com-fortable 77-63 victory in the second meeting between the two teams on Feb. 1. Theus claims that the 22-10 offensive re-bounding advantage in favor of Hawaii was the difference-maker that led to a UH victory and is also the key to the matchup on Thursday. If we rebound the basketball, well have an opportunity to win this game, Theus said. UH head coach Gib Arnold claims that the athleticism of the Matadors is a strong reason why they are able to defeat anyone on a given night. Cal State Northridge is the most athletic team in this conference, Arnold said. The Matadors are led by a trio of pri-mary scorers that account for a majority of their offense. Stephen Maxwell, Stephan Hicks and Josh Greene provide a well-bal-

anced attack on the court and account for50.4 points per game combined. Maxwellis also the leading rebounder on the team,averaging nine per game.

ALL-CONFERENCE FRONTCOURT The Warriors have been led by their twobig men throughout the regular season, andthat tandem was rewarded on Monday morn-ing with all-conference fi rst team selections. The duo of Standhardinger and IsaacFotu averages 32.9 points per game alongwith 14.5 rebounds to lead the Warriors inboth categories. I couldnt be more proud of those two,and Im glad the (Big West) coaches felt that way, Arnold said. I defi nitely felt that way. Standhardinger, who is currently leadingthe team in scoring and rebounding, has de-veloped under Arnold, becoming a playerthat fi nds a way to make an impact despitehis unorthodox style. (Standhardinger) is not a great ath-lete, but hes got a great heart, Arnoldsaid. Guys like that win, and hes been awinner since he got here. The contributions by the former BigWest Co-Freshman of the Year may seemless signifi cant next to the stat lines ofStandhardinger, but Fotus all-conferenceselection marks a consistent improvementthat has shown no signs of slowing down. (Fotu) continues to get better everygame, Arnold said. Hes going to be aheck of a player for us for years to come. When asked about how he plans to stop theduo on Thursday night, Reggie Theus comparedthe energy required to guard Fotu and Stand-hardinger with running from a pack of dogs. Arnold believes his team is up for thechallenge that comes with Cal State North-ridge and continued the metaphor. Its going to be a dog fi ght, said Ar-nold. The biggest dog is going to win.

@Joey__Ramirez

When freshman Greg Javar joined the Hawaii womens bas-ketball scout team this season, he didnt realize he was about to take such a beating. The fi rst week we got here, I went home with bruises and scrapes, he said. It was pretty brutal. Javar, who played four years of basketball at the Big Islands Kau High, quickly learned not to hold back against the Rainbow Wahine because they werent about to for him. I had never really played with girls before, so I tried to keep my distance, he said. But they would just come in, and they would go hard. Now, (when) we play against them, its just like playing against another guy. Many of the players on the scout team, which scrimmages against the Rainbow Wahine using the playing style of their upcom-ing opponent in practice, can relate to Javars experience. A lot of people, they dont understand just how physical the womens game is, senior guard Sydney Haydel said. And were defi nitely a physical team, so we dont hold back playing against them anymore than we would against each other.

GLORY NOT NECESSARY Hawaii head coach Laura Bee-man and her staff recruited the all-male scout team during preseason by attending pickup and intramu-ral games, while also asking the mens basketball coaches for play-ers who didnt make UHs team. In the beginning, honestly, I was pretty intimidated by them, Javar said. Cause theyre Divi-sion I players, and my (high) school, we dont have players like this. So

seeing them, I thought they were like celebrities when I fi rst got here. Since then, both teams have grown closer, with the scout mem-bers attending as many home games as possible and texting support when the Bows are on the road. It takes a really special guy that wants to come in, never get to play in a game and push your team to get better. And thats what all of these guys do, Bee-man said. They come in here. They know that at times they could beat the girls one-on-one. They know they could elevate and dunk, or get to the rim. But they dont. They always make it about the girls. However, the competition is far from one-sided. Treyvon Love, a former high-school point guard, now has the unenviable job of matching up in the post against the fourth-leading scorer in UH history, Kamilah Jackson. Mia (Jackson) makes you look like youve never played basket-ball before in your life, Love said. Youll be guarding her, and she just has so many different moves. Its like a video game. Shes like press-ing buttons on you. Beeman, who worked with a similar scout team as an assistant at USC, said the group is abso-lutely male-only by design. I kind of fi gured if there was a female on the scout team, shed probably be good enough to make the (womens) team, Bee-man said. And if thats the case then wed want her on the team. Its going to be diffi cult to fi nd a young lady whos a student here that is gonna push us to that level like these guys. Theyre big-ger, theyre faster, theyre stron-ger. So it just elevates our game. Outside of practice, the scout players show their value is not lim-ited to the court. Every home game they sit behind the Rainbow Wahine

bench, shouting for the women they consider teammates. We defi nitely hear them, Haydel said. They mention things that they know about what the other team is running. They actually give great insight sometimes when theyre sitting behind the bench. When I see them sitting behind our bench, it brings a smile to my face, Beeman said. Not only do they wanna be here in practice with us, but theyre locked in enough to come support us at games.

PART OF THE TEAM Now the scout team will wait to see if its season has come to an end. Depending on UHs perfor-mance in the Big West Tournament, the Bows could need help prepar-ing for more postseason play. But currently, like the Wahine, the men have their focus set sole-ly on bringing the Big West trophyto Hawaii. Im going to be super excited, like I won the tournament, Javar said. Everything weve been work-ing for is for the Big West. Should the Bows win it all, Love has already jokingly listedwhat he expects in return for hispart in UHs victory, including a championship ring, scholarshipand starting position for the Rain-bow Wahine next season. They played a major role in our success this year, so they deserve whatever they want,Haydel said between laughs. Despite seldom being publicly recognized for their dedication, scout members are consideredpart of the team and familyby coaches and players. Still, as Love sits in his seat behind the UH bench at Stan Sher-iff Center, he cant help but long to join the Bows in the game, even if the method is less than foolproof. I want to get a wig one day and just have them sub me in, he said.

In an unpredictable season, the Rainbow Wahine basketball team continues to surprise its critics. After seeing its star forward, Kamilah Jackson, go down with an ankle injury late in the season, some thought that it might be curtains for the team after such a critical loss. Instead, the team fi nished the season on a tear, winning fi ve of its last seven games as Jackson watched from the bench. The team also saw a handful of other players step up in a big way in her absence.

STEPPING UP Hawaii (16-12, 10-6 Big West) has seen four players set single-game career-highs in scor-ing during its strong fi nish. Addi-tionally, the Bows have enjoyed balanced offense with at least two players notching double-digit scoring in each of the teams wins, including two instances when four players reached double fi gures. Head coach Laura Beeman is proud of her teams efforts, but hands credit to Jackson, whose availability is still day-to-day. Its been Mia (Jackson) and her impact on the other players, Bee-man said in the Big West telecon-ference call Monday. Before her injury, by watching how she pre-pared has made these girls ready to step up once she went down. Since shes been out, weve had a number of girls step up on any given night.

And thats because in practice, Mia pushes the other girls hard. Among the players emerging in Jacksons absence have been Shawna-Lei Kuehu and Ashleigh Karaitiana. And for their efforts, both received honors from the Big West Conference on Monday. Along with Jackson, Kuehu was named to the BWC second team, while Karaitiana was named the Sixth Woman of the Year.

GEARING UP FOR THE TOURNAMENT The Big West is considered to be open game for all the teams in the tournament, as no team truly emerged as a dominant force during the regular season. Just four games separate fi rst-place Cal State North-ridge and seventh-place Cal State Fullerton. As the third seed, Hawaii is one of the teams that earned a fi rst round bye and will face the win-ner of Wednesdays Cal State Fuller-ton and Long Beach State game.* Despite the teams relatively high standing, Beeman is tak-ing caution to warn the team against overconfidence. What weve learned all season and from last years tournament is that this is a highly competi-tive tournament, Beeman said. The tournament is totally wide open. Any team on any given day can win this tournament, whether its an upset or correct based on seeding. We know that we have to be ready to go every night, and on any given night, because you lose once now and youre done.

WHAT TO WATCH FOR The Big West Conference is load-ed with talented frontcourt players. Second-seeded Cal Poly boasts BWC fi rst team center Molly Schle-mer, but she is far from the only gifted frontcourt star. Long Beach State has forward Ella Clark, one of the leagues top shot-blockers, while UC Irvine trots out a top rebounder and scorer in Camille Buckley. Still, Beeman and her squad are not concerned with the tow-ers of power in the Big West Conference. Beeman is hoping that her own frontcourt standout Jackson will be ready to go, and if not, that her replacements are ready for the challenge. There are a lot of good post players in this conference, and all of our bigs will play a huge role in how we do in this tournament, Beeman said. But our girls go up against a very good post player as well in practice. And I think that going up against Mia every day has prepared our girls for this. Beeman also doesnt believe that all the postseason accolades given to other players will mean much when the teams step on the fl oor. When I heard it announced that Mia was named to the second team, I was shocked, Beeman said. But thats just the way things shook out. We have to remember that this is a team sport. Individual awards dont really mean anything in terms of how youre going to play.

Four years ago, Gib Arnold took over an ailing Hawaii mens basketball program. Tasked with rebuilding it almost from scratch, Arnold has mostly succeeded in reenergizing the team and fan base with strong recruiting, an entertaining style of offense and some suc-cessful seasons following previous head coach Bob Nashs destruction of UH basketball. All of that success, however, has been strictly confi ned to the regular season. Like his predecessors, Arnold has struggled to win conference tournament games in his three seasons as head coach. For all hes done to resurrect UH bas-ketball from the ashes of Nashs trying years, Arnold has yet to turn the fi nal cor-ner and truly contend for a conference title. In Arnolds three seasons at UH, hes won as many conference tournament games as point guard Keith Shamburger: one. Considering that in the past three years Shamburger spent one year redshirting and

two years playing for a San Jose State team that went a combined 26-38, Arnolds post-season struggles are all the more frustrat-ing, so much so that failure to advance in the upcoming Big West Tournament may even cast a shadow on Hawaiis fi rst 20-win season in a decade.

REPEATING HISTORY Conference tournament wins have al-ways been elusive for Hawaii. Since the 2002 team punched its ticket to the NCAA Tourna-ment with a conference title, Hawaii has won only two conference tournament games in 10 seasons. Despite varying degrees of regular season success and the presence of talented players, the Rainbow Warriors have made a habit of walking home empty handed. Its true that Hawaii faces unique chal-lenges in these tournaments. While UH must take a fi ve-hour fl ight before shuttling between hotel and arena, many of its con-ference mates reside in close vicinity to the venue. In a sense, Hawaii is playing true road games on the neutral court.

We have to travel for every road game further than anybody, Arnold said. (Cal State) Northridge has to drive 25 minutes up the highway. While the added obstacles explain the extended tournament troubles, they do little to excuse the programs shortcom-ings to a fan base eager to get back into the NCAA Tournament.

BUCKING THE TRENDS Despite the recent trends of failure, there is reason to believe that the mens basketball team may fi nally be ready to make a push for the title. While Hawaii fi n-ished at a disappointing 9-7 in conference play after a blistering 11-3 non-conference slate, it did fi nally fi nish .500 in road games. No UH team has been able to accomplish this since the 2002 WAC champions. As it is, Arnold doesnt think he needs to do anything special to prepare for their fi rst round matchup with Cal State Northridge. Its the same as any other road game, Arnold said. Thats how we approach it.

Were doing the same things; were leavingthe same time we would for a normal roadgame. This teams done well on the road. If Hawaii hopes to silence its critics withan opening round win, it will have to do itagainst a familiar foe. Northridge is led byhead coach Reggie Theus, whom UH fansmay remember as the former head coachof New Mexico State. In his fi rst season, theTheus-led Aggies sent Hawaii home earlywith a one-point loss in the opening roundof the 2006 WAC tournament. Now, Theus is in the midst of his own re-building operation in his debut as the Mata-dors head coach. Even though Northridgefi nished the regular season with a losing re-cord, it remains a dangerous team, manag-ing to dig deep for recent wins against UCSanta Barbara and Long Beach State, bothof whom swept Hawaii this season. Regardless of the opponent, Hawaiineeds to win a game in the conference tour-ney to take that next step as a program. Ifnot, even a 20-win season may feel like stag-nation in the minds of the fans.

20-win season could be marred by early Big West exit

It can be dif cult to make a theat-rical performance as scary as a movie, but that isnt what very still & hard to see Kennedy Theatres latest prime time show aspires to do. Instead, this performance, which is directed by MFA directing can-didate Alex Munro, is meant to be creepy and unnerving in order to bring out the central theme of the play corrupted love. While the show will have some eerie moments, the focus will be on the warped rela-tionships of the characters. The show opens with an architect who is building a hotel. He falls into the lair of an obake, an evil shape-shifting creature who, in this play, takes the form of an elegant woman. The obake discovers something the architect wants and makes a deal with him she will give him what he desires if he puts the hotel over her haunting grounds. The architect agrees, and the remainder of the play is about the lives of the people who stay at the hotel and are affected by the spirits who dwell there. There are seven chapters in the play, and each one features some sort of cor-rupted relationship. For example, one woman is cursed and must find true love to break the spell, but every time she falls in love, she winds up eating the person. The play is designed in such a way that the setting could be any-where, and time is elastic. It is rarely clear during what year a scene takes place, and some characters refer-ence events that span the course of more than 60 years, even when they are quite young. This adds to the mystery of the show, while also sup-porting the theme of poisonous love, as many of the types of corrupted re-lationships in the show are timeless, and therefore should not be restrict-ed to a certain period. While such a story could take place anywhere, there are hints that it takes place in Hawaii. Munro even included ele-ments that connect with local ghost stories. Anyone whos familiar with

Kennedy Theatres very still & hard to see promises to unnerveKennedy Theatres very still & hard to see promises to unnervethe ghost at Waialae drive-in or Ka-hala mall will recognize a quality in our obake, he said. While the time and place add in-trigue to the show, it isnt intended to draw the audience away from the central storyline. In the end, its going to be the relationships that matter much more than the year, said Matthew Kelty, Kennedys Theatres publicity direc-tor and an actor in the show. Despite all of the creepy events taking place around the hotel, audi-ence members should be more af-fected by what the characters are doing to each other, rather than the actions of the spirits. All of the supernatural stuff is really just heightening the emotion and the stakes in whats really very human relationships, Kelty said. The scarier moments come from the human element, Munro said. One of the reasons why Munro wanted to direct this play was because it blends Eastern and Western cultures. All the spirit characters are Jap-anese the obake, kami, shikigami and they interact with these west-ern characters in sort of a western realism play, and I thought that was a really great way to honor Kennedy Theatre, Munro said. However, Melissa Schmitz, who plays the obake, said that it will be a dif-ferent theatrical experience than what most people are used to on this island. Despite the creepiness and mys-tery surrounding the plot of the show, the play is not intended to be a classic scary story. Even with dark elements like cannibalism and adultery, there are light moments and humor. Ulti-mately, it is the human relationships that the play intends to highlight, not the spooky ghosts and ghouls. In an ideal world, I think people would walk out of that play, and they would be saying, That was creepy, and an hour later they would be saying to their date, You know that thing I did? Im sorry I did that, Kelty said. Note: Due to some sexual and violent themes, as well as strong lan-guage, the play is recommended for mature audiences over the age of 15.

FADI YOUKHANAAssociate News Editor

Three years ago, Mohamed Bouazizi set himself on fire to protest the confis-cation of his wages and the humiliation he felt from Tunisian officials. His self-immolation would set forth the Tunisian revolution and ignite a regional Arab Spring movement. Today, the state of the Middle East-ern and North African regions are full of unrest and violence. While the Arab Spring succeeded in ridding the region of regimes and dictators, the revolution has thrown the region into deep turmoil at the cost of thousands of lives.

IN EGYPT The Arab Spring swept through Egypt at an incredible pace as the young and old took to the streets to protest Hosni Mubaraks rule. While the revolution did not last long, it was successful, as Mubaraks 30-year rule came to an end. The Muslim Brotherhood, led by former president Mo-hamed Morsi, was elected into power. While Egypts future seemed to get

brighter, protests again erupted a year later against Morsi. Egypts military re-sponded by overthrowing Morsi and tak-ing control. Egypt witnesses violence on a constant basis as Morsi supporters clash with his opponents. While the Arab Spring succeeded in removing Mubarak, it failed in unifying the country. Egypts population is divided and the violence continues.

IN YEMEN In early 2011, citizens of Sanaa, the capital of Yemen, took to the streets to pro-test the corruption of Ali Abdullah Saleh and his 22-year reign. An assassination at-tempt forced Saleh to leave the country for treatment, transfering power to his Vice President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi. The Arab Spring was successful in replacing the current regime and reliev-ing the country of Salehs control. How-ever, Al-Qaeda took advantage of the weak government and established its presence in the country. Furthermore, Hadi took over after a presidential election by winning 99.8 percent of the votes. Given that he was

the only candidate, true success of the Arab Springs attempt to rid the country of corruption has yet to be achieved.

IN L IBYA As the revolution reached Libya, the National Transitional Council troops took action and captured Muammar Gadda . His capture and execution marked the end of his 42-year rule of Libya. The revolution, along with the help of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, was successful in opening Libya to the world. However, some of the same mili-tia that toppled the regime still had their weapons, and sporadic violence, includ-ing the killing of an American teacher and U.S Ambassador Christopher Ste-vens, still haunts the country.

IN SYRIA This month marks the third anniver-sary of Syrias bloodiest and longest revo-lution. According to the Syrian Observa-tory for Human Rights, more than 140,000 are dead, and millions have been dis-placed as a result of the Syrian Civil War. The United Nations High Commissioner

for Refugees stated that about 2.1 million have left their homes seeking refuge in neighboring countries. Opposition forces have continued their offensive against Syrian president Bashar al-Assad and his rule. With no end in sight, the civil war will continue until one side is completely defeated. Unfortunately, this means more deaths and further annihila-tion to Syrias economy and infrastructure.

LOOKING BACK The MENA region desperately need-ed a change from ruthless dictators and old regimes. In order to keep up with the modern world, governments that had power for more than 30 years needed to be overthrown. The Arab Spring movement was a testament to a region that has been tor-mented by unfair political control and dic-tatorship. However, it has brought forth regional instability at unprecedented lev-els. Syria, Egypt, Iraq, Lybia, Lebanon and Yemen are all rocked by violence. At the three-year mark of the Arab Spring, its success has been overshadowed by the deaths and destruction it has left behind.

CARTER KOCHSenior Staff Writer

Did you know that in South Korea, age is measured from the moment life is conceived? Or that in Hungary, it is a sign of disrespect not to look into your companions eyes while drinking after you toast? Globalization has integrated different cul-tures and, inevitably, the world is continuously changing. Whether you are traveling on a holi-day, for work or to study abroad, it is important to understand what is culturally respectful. Not only will understanding the surround-ing culture help you better understand your environment, but it will also increase what you get out of your experiences abroad.

L IVE ALOHA In Hawaii, we expect people who under-stand the spirit of Aloha to share it with everyone, both local and foreign, and this is inherent in our culture. Aloha is treating

others with respect, showing that you care for Hawaiian culture, traditions and values, and most importantly, living your life with a sense of love and appreciation. In our islands, we expect a certain degree of respect and mindfulness from foreigners, and when you travel abroad, the local people will expect the same from you.

IGNORANCE I S NOT BLISS Have you ever heard the saying, Ignorance is bliss? You should ignore this saying com-pletely while abroad because the more you know before you go, the better. In Hawaiis surf culture, there is the say-ing, When in doubt, dont go out. One can interpret this to mean if you do not understand the currents and power of the ocean, do not go in the water. The most important thing to re-member while abroad is being knowledgeable of where you are and whom you will be around. As an American, you may experience dis-taste for the decisions our government has

made and the effect it has had on the outside world. Too often, we as Americans are shel-tered from the consequences of the actions of our government, and you may experience un-expected backlash from this. Additionally, there is value in recognizing the incredible privilege and comfort we experience growing up in America. A United Nations sta-tistic af rms that if every person on Earth was to consume as much as the average American, we would need 15.5 planets to sustain life for the seven billion people inhabiting the globe. Luckily, people who practice Aloha will have an easier time conversing with foreign-ers abroad. If you keep an open mind and never force a conversation in your own direc-tion, you should be ne.

INDULGENCE OF INTELL IGENCE As an American, expect people of other nationalities to test your intelligence. It is im-portant not to be pretentious; simply answer the questions to the best of your ability and

always keep an open viewpoint. If you dont know, then say it; no one likes an equivocator. There is no deeper hole to dig than to hold your opinions with the highest mark. Perspective is everything, and people you meet while abroad simply want to know that you can see the world from their viewpoint. If you so much as try to understand their per-spective, you will nd that people are much more appreciative of what you have to say. In addition, traveling abroad will open your mind to entirely new perspectives and help you un-derstand the reality of the world we live in, rather than our sheltered world in the states. If you are open-minded and work with for-eign companies, which is likely as globalization continues, business meetings will go over more smoothly. Youll meet more friends and come to realize that the majority of people you meet are kind, considerate and understanding. Going abroad with an open mind will change your life. It will expand your understanding of the world, and it is an adventure we all should experience.
