Elevators across campus are beginning to be changed out thanks
to the Elevator Moderniza-tion Project, which the Facilities
Management Office is overseeing. The (project) was instituted
because the great majority of the elevators on our campus are the
ones that were installed when the building was built and have gone
past their life cycle expectancy, said Tom Katsuyoshi, director of
the of ce. He said some of the problems with the eleva-tors include
people being trapped between oors, elevators not leveling off at
the level of the oor, loud banging noises while in operation, lack
of responsiveness when the call buttons are pushed and cab vibrates
while in motion. The project is intended to replace the entire
el-evator system, which includes cabs, pulleys, coun-terweights,
controls, call systems, rails, hoistway systems and electrical
systems. When the ve phases of the Elevator Moderniza-tion Project
are completed, it is hoped that there will be no calls for the next
10 to 20 years for the need to extricate people in an elevator,
Katsuyoshi said.
GIVING THE ELEVATORS A MAKEOVER According to Katsuyoshi, the
project was started three or four years ago. We have identi ed
approximately 42 build-ings with elevators that are problematic, he
said. We decided to replace the elevators in these buildings in ve
different phases. The rst phase would address the eight or nine
buildings with the most problematic elevators, and each subsequent
phase would address eight or nine buildings with similarly
problematic elevators. He said the rst phase should be completed
before the end of the year. The second phase is about to start, and
the third may start at the end of the year. The Sakamaki elevators,
which are roughly 38
years old, could be completely changed out by the end of this
year and early next year, according to a previous Ka Leo article.
On March 21, ASUH senator Brenden Burk got stuck in one of the
elevators for approximately an hour. Burk said he was the sixth
person to get stuck in a Sakamaki elevator since the beginning of
the semester. He thinks there is a need for an elevator
mod-ernization project. I recognize, of course, that they are going
through with this elevator renovation project and they cant do all
of the buildings at once, but you know, that s part of the problem
with hav-ing let the backlog work just grow, he said. Be-cause now,
instead of being able to tackle them individually and say well
these ones are OK and let s keep moving, now you have a whole bunch
that are in need of exchange and basically peo-ple just have to
wait. But I do applaud them for moving forward with it.
WHEN STUCK IN AN ELEVATOR Phyllis Look, marketing and
communications manager for Campus Services, said Campus Secu-rity
said if one is trapped in an elevator, don't panic. Use the phone
in the elevator to call Campus Security; it will connect you
directly to Securitys dispatch of ce. Inform the dispatcher of your
situation, then wait for trained and equipped per-sonnel to release
you. Never attempt to leave the stalled elevator on your own, Look
said. A CAMPUS FULL OF ELEVATORS According to Katsuyoshi, there are
about 94 elevators on campus. Katsuyoshi said the of ce is
contemplating two additional phases, but it will depend on future
legislative appropriations. We hope to aggressively pursue that
funding so that we may complete the elevator moderniza-tion program
within the next four to ve years, Katsuyoshi said.

The biannual literary journal of the Univer-sity of Hawaii will
be releasing Issue 80, titled Voyages, of Hawaii Review. The
publishers will host a pre-release event, Lit and Lunch, to promote
writers featured in the issue, as well as winners of the Ian
McMillan Contest. Editor-in-chief of Hawaii Review, Anjoli Roy, and
managing editor, Kelsey Amos, invite students to listen to the
storytelling and poetry from both Ian Macmillan Con-test winners
and emerging writers from the Hawaii Review 80.
A THEME FROM THE PACIF IC The upcoming issue of Hawaii Review 80
is titled and themed Voyages. The art on the cover is inspired by
climate change and was created by Joy Enomoto, who also created the
cover art for Call and Response: Hawaii Review 79. We wanted a
theme that would be situated in the Paci c. Voyages is about
journeys. Journeys by land, personal journeys and spiri-
tual ones, too, Roy said. This issue has the same aesthetic
values as the last issue, and we really wanted to create something
beautiful and within our budget.
IAN MCMILLAN CONTEST Ian McMillan was a professor at UH and a
mentor to creative writers. He was instrumen-tal to the Hawaii
Review, having been a co-founder, so the staff honors him each year
by presenting an annual contest in his name. There are two
categories that are eligible for the award, Fiction and Poetry.
Writers must demonstrate remarkable skill at writing to receive the
award. Second and third place winners from each section will get
their writ-ing published by Hawaii Review, and the rst place
winners of each section will receive pub-lication on top of a $500
prize.
PRE -RELEASE EVENT A pre-release party for the new issue will be
held at the Sustainability Courtyard on May 7 from 11 a.m to 12
p.m. Roy and Amos encour-
age students to listen to poetry readers, as well as attend the
announcements for the win-ners of the Ian McMillan contest. At this
event, the Hawaii Review 80 issue will of cially be introduced, and
the writers being published will be featured. Govindas Food Truck
and Da Spot will provide compli-mentary food for guests.
TO BE OR NOT TO BE Roy and Amos want to encourage all stu-dents
who are interested in writing to submit their work to Hawaii
Review. They accept works from all genres, including creative
writ-ing, ction, non- ction and poetry. Our primary responsibility
is to serve the students at UH, Roy said. Sometimes people forget
that we exist here at the Hawaii Review. We want to provide a real
venue to support emerging writers. I think that everyone bene ts
from literature. I think telling stories is one of the human
fun-damental things that we do, and whether writingpoetry or ction
were telling stories and sharing them with others, Amos said.

On April 22, Maui County celebrated Earth Day by passing a bill
that bans tobacco use at parks, beaches and recreational
facilities. Hundreds of people submitted testimony on the bill to
protect shorelines and public areas from lit-ter and to prevent
health and safety consequences of smoking cigarettes. Year after
year, cigarettes are by far the most com-monly found piece of trash
at beach cleanups. Ocean Conservancys compilation of data from the
2012 International Coastal Cleanup showed a reported 2 million
cigarette butts found in just one day. Oahus law on smoke-free
beaches went into effect in the beginning of this year, and the Big
Island was ahead of the game, as they passed a similar law in
2008.
SMOKE - FREE PARADISE If Kauai county comes on board, Hawaii
will become the rst state with smoke-free beaches. As part of a
campaign called Butts off the beach, the Hawaii chapters of the
Surfrider Foundation have been part of the education and advocacy
efforts on this issue, and the Coalition for a Tobacco-Free Hawaii
has also been at the forefront of these cigarette bans. In January,
high-school students led an island-wide cleanup in Maui and picked
up more than 14,000 cigarette butts in less than two hours. In
April of last year at Kakaako beach, volunteers picked up more than
11,176 butts in less than two hours. These numbers indicate a
culture of careless-ness and showcase excessive littering among
smok-ers. Though many who smoke cigarettes are mindful about
disposing of butts properly, smoke-free poli-cies have a tremendous
impact on what ends up on the shorelines, in our oceans and in all
the public spaces we enjoy.
WHAT SMOKERS HAVE TO SAY Though some may dispute the
effectiveness of these laws, according to the Surfrider Foundation
Maui Chapter, studies have shown a 45 percent decrease in cigarette
litter following a passage of a smoke-free pol-icy. In addition, as
more and more people recognize the new laws, violators will face a
shift in social norms so that smoking on beaches will become as
unacceptable as smoking indoors has become. And for those arguing
about personal rights to smoke in these spaces, no court has ever
upheld these claims, and nonsmokers and smokers alike have a
greater right to breathe clean air, especially in public areas such
as beaches and bus stops. Something that is not discussed enough on
this issue is that recreational spaces are often homes to natural
areas. Parks are home to trees, plants, green space and serve as
habitats to many birds and wild-life. Healthy shorelines and oceans
allow surf breaks, coral reefs, marine wildlife and plants to
thrive. All of these spaces on our islands are ones we should
pro-tect, preserve and appreciate. The conversation around smoking
in public spaces must acknowledge the rights of the environment and
the rights of nonhumans in these situations. Though one may argue
that he or she has the right to smoke in a given area, there must
also be a consideration of how smoking affects the humans, plants,
animals and the environment around that smoker. This issue is one
that encompasses environ-mental and human health, compassion and
mindfulness. The newly adopted law in Maui exempli es suc-cessful
community and intergenerational collabora-tion. With just 42 days
between the bills introduction and its passage, the attitudes
against smoking in public spaces is becoming clear. Just as Hawaii
was the rst state to ban the dis-tribution of plastic bags, much of
the community is eager to see Hawaii become the rst state to have
smoke-free beaches and parks.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
secondhand smoke can cause cardiovascular disease and lung cancer

Every year, teams lose a class of seniors to graduation, and
this season is no different for the Rainbow Wahine. Saturdays games
will mark the final home outing for seniors Kaile Nakao, Jazmine
Zamora, Sharla Kliebenstein and Jori Jasper.
I tell all the freshmen that they have to appreciate every
moment
they have here, head coach Bob Coolen said. Their four years
here are a very small part of their lives, and it will y by
quickly. The next thing you know, youre a se-
nior and youre getting your leis in the ceremony.
MS. UTILITY: KAILE NAKAONakao, a native of Santa Monica,
California, has
earned a reputation as a savvy defensive player for the Rainbow
Wahine. Nakao earned the rst signi -cant playing time of her career
last season, starting 37 games, with 30 coming at third base.
The scrappy in elder also began this season as the starting
third baseman, but has seen her time diminish in favor of younger,
stronger hitters. But Nakao has still man-aged to appear in 30
games with 21 starts, checking in late in games sometimes for
defensive purposes.
Nakaos journey as a Rainbow Wahine hasnt been the easiest, as
she hasnt been guaranteed a full-time role.
Ive been used mostly as a utility player, and its been a lot of
work being ready to play at second, third and (short-stop), she
said. Ive had to take a lot of reps to be ready to play wherever Im
needed.
BREAKOUT STAR: JAZMINE ZAMORA
One of the reasons that Nakao was unable to get consistent
playing time was Zamoras emergence at sec-ond. After Nakao opened
last season as the starting second base-man, Zamora broke out with
a home run and two RBIs in the sixth game of the season. Zamora
went on to start every game at second from that game, leading the
team in hitting (.337).
It de ned who I am, Zamora said. Im never afraid of a challenge,
and Im willing to put in the time and work to be good. Ive proved
that if you work hard then it will pay off. I got my shot, and I
took it and ran with it.
This season, Zamora has remained one of the best hitters in the
Hawaii batting order. She ranks third on the
team in batting average (.307), while hitting in multiple spots
in the order.
JACK-OF -ALL -TRADES: SHARLA KLIEBEN-STEIN
To say that Sharla Kli-ebenstein is a well-rounded player might
be an under-statement. After starting all 55 games at catcher as a
freshman, the Oceanside, California, native moved to right eld as a
sophomore, where she started 35 games. Her junior year saw another
shift, as Kliebenstein started 28 games in left eld, plus six more
at catcher.
When I rst came in as a freshman, I thought that I was going to
be a catcher all four years, she said. That was the impression that
I had. At rst I didnt want to move to the out eld because I had
nev-er played there. But when I saw how much better it made the
team when I played there, I stopped caring because I was helping
the team.
This season, Kliebenstein has moved back behind the plate,
starting 25 games at catcher, but she has started another 10 games
in center eld.
A STAR OFF THE FIELD: JORI JASPERJori Jasper hasnt had the
opportunity to play regularly
like her fellow seniors, appearing in one game prior to this
season. But this year, Jasper has played in seven games, mostly as
a pinch runner.
As a result, Jasper scored the rst two runs of her career this
season, coming across the plate in Hawaiis games against Hampton
and Paci c. Despite the lack of playing time, Jasper has remained
one of the more upbeat people on the team.
Having been here for ve years, Ive experienced so many good
things here, Jasper said. Theres so many things I could say are my
favorite, but the experience as a whole has been amazing. Each year
brought something dif-ferent. Ive just enjoyed every moment here
representing the state of Hawaii.

The bitter, long grind has come to a halt. While the aftertaste
of all the losses may linger, the Rainbow Warriors have entered
into what head coach Mike Trapasso called the easing of the
schedule. As a matter of fact, their next opponent, New York
Institute of Technology, is currently hold-ing a record of 4-36.
But this does not give them an excuse to relax. After bearing six
losses in seven games on the road, as well as toughing out two
consecutive series sweeps prior to their trip, the Bows are now
well-versed in the art of handling adversity. And with 13 more
games left in the season, they still have a lot to play for.
NO MATTER Despite the fact that NYIT holds a .100 win-ning
percentage (compared to UHs .375), the Bows seem to be indifferent
to records and
instead hold on to their philosophy of grinding out each game. I
think almost anyone would say that you really dont think about your
opponent as far as how you prepare, junior pitcher Jarrett Ara-kawa
said. Regardless of who youre playing, you go out there and just
compete. We really dont care what their record is they could be
number one or last, it doesnt really matter. Trapasso also chose to
look past the Bears record to focus on UHs own gameplay and the
goals the Warriors have set for themselves. I dont know much about
them (NYIT) really, he said. It would be good to play four games
against some guys that, over the last few weeks, havent played as
much as they had earlier. But were going to play to win, to turn
this thing around, to get on a roll and get our con dence back.
HOLDING ON TOGETHER Despite a calmer schedule and a
deter-mination to succeed, UH was still marred
with a 1-12 record in the month of April. And for some teams,
that alone could be enough to tear them apart. But this adversity
is what has solidi ed the teams bond. Our biggest motivation is
just sticking together, being a team and not falling apart like
some people might expect us to, senior shortstop Austin Wobrock
said. Even in the beginning of the season, Trapasso saw a special
kind of bond in this years team and knew that it would handle
adversity with a toughness and desire to come out stronger. Theres
no question its a group that gets along well, he said. Its a group
that has a toughness about them and a love for each other. That
makes the journey fun just to be around them everyday.
THE WINDING ROAD In order to nish with a winning record, Hawaii
has to win 12 of its last 13 games of the season starting with NYIT
this week.
However, UH has not won a home game since facing
Alabama-Birmingham on March 23. And the past road trip following
consecutive series sweeps at home did not roll in its odds either.
It feels great to be back home, Wobrock said. Im excited to see all
the fans that were going to be playing in front of and the friends
and family that we have here. Im glad to be back on the aina. The
only thing that will be unfamiliar tothem as well as to the fans is
the new scoreboard, which has been under con-struction since UH
traveled to California two weeks ago. Im really thankful that we
have this because its been a long time coming, Trapasso said. Just
looking at the video portion on the board right now, its huge. Its
really going to be something that I think enhances our fan
experience. But at the end of that Friday, what matters most to the
team is having more runs than NYIT on that beautiful, new
scoreboard, as Trapasso pointed out.
Heading for home
The Warriors are coming
off their longest road
trip of the season.
