On Monday, Sept. 24, the State Senate Special Committee on Accountability called Univer-sity of Hawai‘i administrators and affiliated attorneys to an in-formational briefing regarding the failed Stevie Wonder concert. Individuals that were called into the briefing included Dennis Chong Kee, an attorney for the firm Cades Schutte LLP, Robert Katz, of Torkildson, Katz, Moore, Hetherington & Harris, UH Sys-tem President M.R.C. Greenwood, former athletics director James Donovan and UH Board of Re-

gents Chair Eric Martinson. “We want to get the informa-tion that has not been learned,” Sen. Sam Slom said in a phone in-terview. “Where is the $200,000 or more? Why have we not got-ten it back or will we? Are there other practices the university has engaged in? “This is neither a witch hunt or a white wash,” Slom said. “We have a great deal of respect for the great things the university has done, but these things have gone unattended for a while, and while the Senate does not want to micromanage the university, we have several respon-sibilities ourselves.” Slom said that appointing the

BOR and appropriating money to the university are among those responsibilities. UH Mānoa Chancellor Thom-as Apple will be among the next set of witnesses, with Martin-son and Greenwood returning, to testify to the State Senate in a second hearing. Former Chan-cellor Virginia Hinshaw was asked to testify, but she will be out of town during the meeting. Slom said the Senate has a Q&A from her stating Greenwood violated NCA A requirements by representing UH in the Moun-tain West Conference. Martinson was told to bring information regarding the

amount of money the failed con-cert is costing taxpayers to Tues-day’s meeting. “We want to make sure ev-eryone is on the same page,” Slom said. “There’s really no ex-cuse for what happened. They’ve never wired cash money before.”

Ready-to-wear for springKARISSA MONTANIA Contributing Writer

It may be September, but spring fashions are already on the horizon. Earlier this month, fashion designers ranging from

Betsey Johnson to Dolce & Gab-bana showcased their spring 2013 ready-to-wear collections at New York Fashion Week, one of the in-dustry’s most anticipated events. Highlighted here are a few design-ers to keep in mind for spring.

RALPH LAUREN Ralph Lauren created bright and bold looks for spring. Many outfits em-phasized f loral elements, solid-colored separates and vibrant striped patterns. Suprisingly, black dominated the rest of the collection. Femininity and masculin-ity were showcased with fitted tops and f lowing bottom dresses with f loral details and broad-shoul-dered blazers coupled with black ties. Almost every piece was accented with a black top hat or solid-colored beret and small scarves, incorporating European chic to the entire collection.

This program is supported by the University of Hawai‘i at Ma noa Offi ceof the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, The College of Social Sciences and The Outreach College.

DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS:All materials must be received by 10/1/2012.

Student selected for the program will be eligible for scholarship funding.

The Ma noa Political Internship Program was an integral part of my interest in law. Interning during the passage of Hawaii’s civil unions bill and helping deputies prepare their cases for trial provided a degree of insight into the creation and enforcement of laws that I couldn’t have gained in the classroom. It truly was a unique experience that I would recommend to all students. -Davin Aoyagi, Ka Leo Editor in Chief

OSCAR DE LA RENTA Oscar de la Renta showed off a diverse collection this year, putting out conservative yet chic pencil skirts and youthful romp-ers. The opening look had a touch of edginess with a bright latex top, but each look had a different element, whether it was intricate lace on a blouse or fl oral-detailed embellishment. The vibe of the show was fresh, as de la Renta showed his taste for colors in a palette that ranged from crimson red to eggshell white.

CHRIST IAN S IRIANO Ballet was an influential fac-tor in Christian Siriano’s ready-to-wear collection. The “Project Runway” season four winner in-corporated an aesthetic of light feminine pieces and sleek drap-ery. Unlike Siriano’s previous avant-garde collections, his current collection contains wearable tops, blazers and pants. Key colors were pas-tels of pink, blue and purple.

BADGLEY MISCHKA Designers Mark Badgley and James Mischka created an assort-ment of earthy and dream-like sepa-rates and dresses for their spring display. The inspiration behind their serene, fl oral-fi lled collec-tion was the 1935 fi lm adaptation of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” which captivated the designers and prompted them to create clothes in-fl uenced by Hippolyta and Hermia. There were ensembles of tulle, lace and sheer throughout the array of gowns and bustiers. Blush, ivory, and gold were reoccurring colors.

RODARTE Kate and Laura Mulleavy took a very unconventional route for Fash-ion Week with a medieval-esque feel for their pieces and the essence of a couture warrior. The sister duo made each ensemble look like fash-ion armor: Strong geometric shapes were patterned throughout their fl oor-skimming skirts and oversized shirts. The high slits and the turtle-neck shirts combined with tight bust-iers were daring – but it worked.

Ralph Lauren’s spring 2013 Spanish-inspired collection featured bolero hats and matador-esque look. The show ran on Sept. 13.

Testimony from the State Sen-ate hearing regarding the Stevie Wonder concert mishap suggests that the Board of Regents may have violated its own policies when assembling a hiring committee to replace former head football coach Greg McMackin in late 2011. The testimony, given by former athletic director Jim Donovan and BOR Chair Eric Martinson at Mon-day’s six-hour hearing, hints that the BOR was involved in selecting members of a search committee charged with fi nding McMackin’s successor – a role that is not per-mitted by the BOR’s bylaws.

DONOVAN SPEAKS The fi rst allusion to a violation came early in Donovan’s testimony as he described a meeting with Uni-versity of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Chancel-lor Thomas Apple about the renewal of his contract as athletic director. Donovan said he acknowl-edged that his conduct during the search for a new football coach may have affected his reputation among top UH administrators. “… I told him [Apple] on July 5, ‘I fi gure I may have irritated some people above me in the chain of command during the football search,’” Donovan said in response

to a question from Sen. Donna Mer-cado Kim, chair of Special Com-mittee on Accountability. Donovan went on to say that, shortly after the selec-tion of a hiring committee began, Martinson told him that the group would consist of four individuals – a decision he opposed, since it compromised his responsibilities as ath-letic director. “I [was supposed] to be responsible for es-sentially the search and making the pick and I can’t even select anybody on the selection commit-tee … I’m going to be dic-tated who they are … I was very upset about that,” Dono-van elaborated.

ʻYOU BET TER DO WHAT YOU ʼRE TOLDʼ After discussing the mat-ter with BOR support staff, Donovan said that he was permitted to add two of the three members that he had origi-nally chosen for the committee, though the four appointed by the BOR would remain.

At that point, acting UH Sys-tem President Linda Johnsrud told him that the selection com-

mittee would be limited to six individuals, and that

Donovan should “stop push-ing” for more appointees. “In every other selec-tion [of a selection com-mittee] that has ever been made … at the univer-sity, the athletic director picked the selection com-mittee,” Donovan told the Special Committee, adding

later that, even though he had spoken with other uni-versity faculty who advised

him that the Regents’ ac-tion was outside of the

board’s jurisdiction, he went along with the

plan anyway.

“They’re the Board of Regents, so you better do what you’re told,” Donovan said.

POLICY RULES Under Chapter 1, Section 2 of the current BOR policy, the Board is responsible for university policy decisions, but they “must not con-cern themselves directly with the administration of the University, or individually or take part col-lectively, in administration.” That power is reserved for the presi-dent, vice presidents, chancellors, and other members of the univer-sity administration. After Donovan’s testimo-ny, Kim pressed Martinson on whether he felt he was exempt from this policy. “I don’t believe so,” Martinson responded. Later, in defending the BOR’s use of power, he comment-ed that, despite his concern over

the Regents’ observance of this policy, it was only his re-

sponsibility to follow the regulations put forth.

“You can only put the policies

down. We just have to abide,” Martinson said.

In the midst of the Stevie Wonder fi as-co, the role of the university’s public rela-tions team has been called into question. After a six-hour legislative hearing on Monday, Board of Regents Chair Eric Martinson expressed his disapproval of the public relations team at the University

of Hawai‘i. Martinson was one of the last to testify and was questioned by Sen. Donna Mercado Kim, chair of the Senate Special Committee on Accountability. “I think the execution and our public relations portrayed us in an unfavorable light. I think we handled that poorly,” Martinson expressed. “So if you had used more smoke and mirrors then it might have been better, is that what you’re saying? Because you can only do so much with the PR,” Kim countered, “You shouldn’t have cre-ated a position with no name and stuck somebody in before you know what you’re doing. Per-haps the process is back-wards and that ’s why it ’s coming out badly, and not that we need better PR.”

FACULTY ANALYZE UH PR TEAM Faculty in the UH Mānoa School of Com-munications had their own take on the issue. “[The public relations team at UH Mānoa is] particularly strong, I think, at telling the good news stories about the Uni-versity of Hawai‘i,” said media ethics lectur-er Peter Rosegg, who also serves as a senior spokesman at Hawaiian Electric Company, “But it may not be the best at dealing with crisis communications [and] helping to see this incident as the general community sees it, not as the administrators and insid-ers at the University of Hawai‘i see it.” Communications department chair Thomas Kelleher felt that the UH PR team may have also been underutilized through-out the Stevie Wonder fi asco. “I think utilizing PR people effective-ly would mean having them as decisions are made, rather than after decisions are made to try to basically just be reactive,” said Kelleher.

“All too often, what happens with public relations people [is that] their hands are kind of tied behind their backs because they don’t have a say in the management decisions.” Kelleher also commented on the Hawai‘i Hall press conference where for-mer athletic director Jim Donovan and Stan Sheriff Arena manager Rich Sheriff were put on paid administrative leave. “I do recall … at the time it did seem like some of the media relations were

hasty and not particularly well thought out,” said Kelleher, “In general, it ’s good to be open … That’s still what’s coming back as an issue now [for UH administrators].”

During the six-hour hearing with the State Senate Committee on Accountability, University of Hawai‘i administration was questioned regarding the need to hire two different law fi rms in the aftermath of the Stevie Wonder scandal.

TWO LAW FIRMS The fi rst fi rm, Cades and Schutte LLP, was hired to “investigate possible inappropri-ate manage-ment, planning,

organization and administration of a benefi t concert scheduled for Aug. 18, 2012,” ac-cording to Cades and Schutte partner Den-nis Chong Kee, one of the attorneys that worked on the investigation. The second fi rm, Torkildson, Katz, Moore, Hetherington & Harris, was hired to redact sensitive information from the 57-page report produced by Cades and Schutte. Attorney Robert Katz was present at the hearing on behalf of Torkildson, Katz, Moore, Hetherington and Harris and presented the Senate committee redacted and un-redacted copies of the investigator’s report.

“Dennis Chong Kee was hired to do a fact-fi nding report. His purpose, his mission, his service was simply to fi nd out what happened and report it. We were retained then, to advise the university on what should be done with that report … specifi cally … what should be made public,” said Katz.

ʻA BELT AND SUSPENDERS APPROACHʼ The role of Torkildson, Katz, Moore, Hetherington & Harris was analyzed by two professors. “The explanation [given by Katz] was that the second fi rm reviewed the work of the fi rst to take out any name belonging to a non-UH employee,” said political science de-partment professor Lawrence Nitz in an email. “[It] seems to be a belt and suspenders approach – being doubly cautious,” said media ethics lecturer and Corporate Com-

munications for Hawai‘i Electric Co. Peter

Rosegg when asked about

why he

thought a second fi rm was needed to redact documents from the fi rst. Sen. Donna Mercado Kim, chair of the Senate Committee on Accountability, however, felt that the redacting of the docu-ments were obtrusive. “According to Senator Kim, redacting the names from the contracts was alter-ing public documents that were intended to be public,” said Nitz.

VIOLATING SUNSHINE LAW Nitz also stated that the two attor-neys did not seem to be prepared for the briefing, as one of them appeared to have followed inadequate instruction and the other did not seem to know Hawai‘i law, specifically Act 92. Hawai‘i State Act 92 is the Sunshine Law, which requires state and county boards to “conduct meetings as openly as possible,” according to the Hawai‘i Office of Information Practices. During the hearing, Sen. Les Ihara Jr. questioned Katz regarding his knowl-edge of Act 92. “You know, or should know, that pub-lic records and public contracts and who the government, the state and the univer-sity contracts with, is public record. And yet you redacted these names off these public documents,” said Ihara.

Despite University of Hawai‘i System President M.R.C. Greenwood’s claim that she wished for the Senate informational briefi ng to be handled in a “sophisticated” manner, that the university and its offi cial business be “transparent” to the public and that she has been “humbled” by these events, her actions and behavior spoke strongly to the contrary. Many things about the lengthy hearing were troubling, but none so much as the deliber-ate avoidance of responsi-bility and the allusion to a higher inf lu-ence from the State Legislature pressuring Greenwood. These meetings are meant to distinguish fact from rumor and to figure out what re-ally happened. It ’s about accountability. A single line from Greenwood’s perfor-mance reveals her willingness to take respon-sibility. During questioning, she stated, “This [the Stevie Wonder concert] is a bad mistake. It shouldn’t have happened. It’s partly a result of a delegation of authority that gave our ath-letics department a level of independence.”

While Greenwood is far from the sole authority that needs to be taking respon-sibility in this situation, her actions need to be recognized. Nothing excuses the conduct with which this entire situation has been and continues to be handled. Decisions were made and handled in secrecy, but nothing about her own ap-pearance spoke to her feeling humbled. Information needed to be dragged from her, as she was constantly turning and re-ferring back to her PR adviser and papers as if buying time to devise the vaguest an-

swers pos-sible. Only when ques-tions were

repeated, often with

emphasis on specif-

ic statistics – actual

facts – did Greenwood share details. Even then, Greenwood told Sen. Don-na Mercado Kim that “I’ve said enough. If you want more, senator, you’re going to have to put me under oath.” Over two hours into the hearing, Greenwood admitted that she is “perfect-ly capable of putting [her] foot in [her] mouth,” and if you extend that to the athletics department and all the off icials involved, then I couldn’t agree more.

The Big West Conference season looms ahead for the Rainbow Wahine soccer team (5-3-2), but fi rst they hit the road for a game against Cal State Bakersfi eld on Sept. 28 at 4 p.m. The match against CSUB will mark UH’s last non-conference game before making their long-awaited re-entrance in the Big West Conference at 3 p.m. on Sept. 30 at Cal State Northridge. “Our plan was to win every game. Every pre-season game and every conference game,” said sopho-more midfi elder Krystal Pascua. The Roadrunners carry an overall record of 3-7-1, but the ‘Bows are not looking past their fi -nal non-conference match. “What we’re trying to focus on is the fact that Bakersfi eld is a team that does not have a winning record,” said head coach Michele Nagamine. “But if you look at some of the teams they’ve played, they’ve played some really good teams. We’re expecting a good game.”

FORGET THE NUMBERS Following UH’s match against Baskersfi eld, CSUN (3-3-3) will welcome the ‘Bows in their fi rst conference game. The Matadors rank tied for last

in the Big West with just eight in nine games. However, junior goal-keeper Cynthia Jacobo makes up for it by leading the conference in save percentage (.910), goals against av-erage (0.61), and shutouts (4). UH hopes that its conference-leading offense will have enough fi repower to best Jacobo. The ‘Bows lead the Big West in points averaged (5.20) and goals averaged (1.90). “I don’t think someone’s stand-ing should dictate how they play on the fi eld,” said senior goal-keeper Kanani Taaca. “I’ve played Northridge in my college career. I know how they play. They are a re-ally good team, and I think we gotta come out fi ring all cylinders and show them what we got.” This road trip will be the second one this season for Hawai‘i. It also marks the fi rst time UH will participate in the Big West Conference since 1985. Hawai‘i holds a record of 1-3 for road games, having dropped its last two against Washington State and Eastern Washington. “Like [women’s volleyball head] coach Dave Shoji said, ‘UH teams suck on the road’ and we are no different,” said Nagamine. “We struggled more than most of our sports on the road. We’re just gonna try and go up there, learn from our last road trip, and start the conference with a bang.”

UH, BYU take rivalry back to ProvoUH, BYU take rivalry back to ProvoJOEY RAMIREZ

Associate Sports Editor

Norm Chow may be the cur-rent head coach of the Univer-sity of Hawai‘i football team, but there will always be a part of him that remains in Provo, Utah, with Brigham Young University. Chow began his coaching as-cent at BYU. In 1973, he began his career as a graduate assistant and worked his way through the ranks until he became the team’s offensive coordinator in 1996. Four years lat-er, he would leave BYU for the same position at North Carolina State. Despite spending nearly three decades with the Cougars, the Warrior’s head coach does not plan on making his return to Pro-vo an emotional one. “Well, a lot has gone on since then. This is the fourth team I’m going back with, so that part doesn’t mean much,” said Chow. “But that part is over with now. I know very few people there. I was of a different era, if you will.”

RIVALRY RENEWED During his 27 years in Provo,

Chow and the Cougars amassed

a record of 244-91-3, which included a 17-4 mark against rival Hawai‘i. Now, Chow is on the opposite sideline, leading a UH team that trails in the all-time series 20-8. Both teams are hungry for a win as they square off at 2 p.m. HST today. BYU (2-2) is hurting from back-to-back losses to Utah (24-21) and No. 24 Boise State (7-6). Meanwhile, Hawai‘i (1-2, 0-1 Mountain West) hopes to rebound after allowing a school home re-cord in its 69-24 loss to Nevada. “We’ve got a tough opponent this week,” said junior quarterback Sean Schroeder, who was recently named co-offensive captain by Chow. “We can’t afford to live in the past and we’re moving on. We’re fo-cusing on BYU 100 percent.” One of the few silver linings in last week’s loss was junior corner-back Mike Edwards, whose 390 kick return yards place him sec-ond-most in the country this sea-son. Edwards, who leads the team with 14 tackles, was also named a captain this week by Chow. “[We have been] coming out and practicing hard every day and putting it behind us,” said Ed-wards. “Last week is done, so I’m not even thinking about that game anymore. We just want to rebound and continue to work hard and do

what we do: Execute and listen to our coaches.” Meanwhile, it is a mystery

as to whom the Cougars are going to

start at

quarterback. Head coach Bron-co Mendenhall plans to make a game-time decision on whether to go with senior Riley Nelson, who has been nursing a back injury, or freshman Taysom Hill. “In order for us to go out there and be on the fi eld and execute at our highest level, we just go to do what we do. And doing what we do just means practicing hard, work-ing hard, [and] going out there and executing – no matter which quar-terback’s out on the fi eld.” said Ed-wards. “Honestly, they’re both pret-ty good quarterbacks. We prepare the same way each week. We can go out there and get the job done.”

NO GRUDGES Last season BYU and UH played for the fi rst time since 2002, and the Cougars came out on top 41-20 in Honolulu. But the War-riors are not using the sting of last year’s defeat as motivation. “It’s just like any other game,” said senior wide receiver Jeremiah Ostrowski. “Coach always says ‘Everybody’s faceless names’ so that’s the way we got to approach it.” Although Hawai‘i has giv-en BYU problems in the past, something they have never done is win in Provo. Dating back to 1951, the Cougars have won all eight games in Utah by an aver-age score of 34-18. “I honestly believe that we can do it,” said Edwards. “It’s been a great week in practice. Our coach-es still believe in us [and] we still believe in each other. Not only that, but we’ve picked it up a step. Don’t be surprised if we go up there and get the fi rst win in Provo.”
