EDITOR’S NOTE
MICHAEL O’MEALLY
Welcome back to school! As we ease
into the semester, take advantage of
the first few weeks of class while you
can because once the ball gets rolling,
there’s no turning back. Good luck!
“New year, new me” has been the
motto for many of us over the years.
Although New Year’s resolutions are
seldom followed, it’s the thought that
counts, right? This year, my New Year
resolution is probably to join a gym
(how cliché, I know). That was also
my New Year’s resolution last year
and the year before that. It’ll happen
eventually.
Three editions ago, The Hoot made
a commitment to produce a total
of eight editions. We stand by that
commitment and will strive to share
information with the campus. Thank
you to all of those who continue to
follow us and I would like to welcome
our new readers.
As we step into 2016, The Hoot
and UHWO’s Creative Media team
has worked diligently to provide the
university’s first-ever newspaper
stands, in hopes to create a stronger
presence on campus. We have a lot
in store for the rest of the school
year!
What are you looking forward to
in 2016? Let The Hoot know! Send
us a letter (250 words or less) to
[email protected] and your
letter could be published in the next
issue! Have a great semester!

‘Ulu‘Ulu Archive Housing
Don Ho Collection
BY ERICA KRISTINA CARLOS
The University of Hawai‘i
—
West O’ahu ‘Ulu‘ulu Archive is
the new home to the complete
collection of films, videos and
personal memorabilia of late
entertainer Don Ho.
The Donald Tai Loy Ho Trust
selected the ‘Ulu‘ulu Henry
Ku‘ualoha Giugni Moving Image
Archive of Hawa‘i to archive
more than 150 boxes of mixedmedia material, according to UH
News. Thousands of reels will be
digitized so that the collection
will be available for streaming
online. Physical materials will be
kept in the specialized humiditycontrolled vault at UHWO.
“I think the Donald Tai Loy Ho
Trustees selected ‘Ulu‘ulu and
UHWO as the repository for the
Don Ho audiovisual collection for
several reasons,” said ‘Ulu‘ulu
head archivist Janel Quirante.
“Throughout his decades-long
career, Ho was synonymous with
Hawai‘i and so I think the trustees
really wanted his collection to
remain in Hawai‘i and to be cared
for in an archive in this state.
Secondly, his collection consists
mainly of films, videotapes
and audio recordings, and the
trustees knew that they wanted
to work with an archive that
has experience in preserving,
cataloging and digitizing this kind
of media,” Quirante said.
‘Ulu‘ulu meets all of this criteria
and “we’re honored that the
Trustees chose us and UHWO
as caretakers of his collection,”
Quirante said.
The Hawaiian singing sensation
was born in Kaka‘ako and raised
in Kane‘ohe. He was a graduate
of Kamehameha Schools and the
University of Hawai‘i at Manoa.
Ho is best known as a Waikiki
showroom fixture as well as his
most famous hit song, “Tiny
Bubbles.” He was the star of
his own show and made guest
appearances on popular television
shows such as “The Brady Bunch,”
“Sanford and Son,” “I Dream of
Jeannie,” “The Tonight Show with
Johnny Carson” and many more.

West O‘ahu Regional Mall to Open in 2016
Ka Makana Ali‘i Projected to Create 3,000 Jobs
BY ERICA KRISTINA CARLOS
This year, West-siders can look forward to the first phase
opening of the shopping mall Ka Makana Ali‘i-The Center for
West O‘ahu.
The center will feature more than 150 new shops and
restaurants, a movie theater, two hotels and LEED-certified
office space for residents and visitors.
“DeBartolo Development believes the location - close to
UHWO and thousands of homes - will be a key factor in
making Ka Makana Ali‘i a gathering place for the entire
region,” said Rich Hartline, DeBartolo’s vice president for
development.
The project is expected to generate more than $1 billion
in revenue over the life of the 65-year lease agreement
between the DeBartolo Development and the state
Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL). The income
is expected to help finance the construction of new homes
for beneficiaries, as well as programs and resources that
benefit Native Hawaiian interests statewide, Hartline said.
“As grand opening of Ka Makana Ali‘i gets closer, DeBartolo
Development will be holding a job fair in partnership with
many of the more than 150 retail, dining and entertainment
tenants at the center,” Hartline said. “Students from UHWO
will be encouraged to attend and more information will be
provided as details are finalized.”
Specific promotions and internship opportunities will be
determined by each of the more than 150 tenants at Ka
Makana Ali‘i, Hartline said.
Thalia Lawrence, a junior at UHWO, said, “I like the idea
of a mall on the West side, because right now every huge
mall like Ala Moana is either in town or on Windward side.
A mall on the West side will be very convenient for those
who are located on this side of the island. I hope this mall
will bring more job opportunities to not only the community,
but to the students at UHWO as well.” Ka Makana Ali‘i
will create an estimated 3,000 jobs during construction and
6,500 permanent full-time jobs once the center is completed,
Hartline said.
“Downsides to this new development are probably traffic
and construction,” Lawrence said.
Shops that have committed to the project include Macy’s,
H&M, Forever 21, Victoria’s Secret, Bath & Body Works, Gap,
Banana Republic, Old Navy, 24 Hour Fitness, California Pizza
Kitchen, Auntie Anne’s, Gloria Jean’s Coffee, Consolidated
Theatres, and Hawai‘i’s first Hampton Inn & Suites.

More Writing Intensive Courses
Needed at UHWO
BY MICHAEL O’MEALLY
As more students are admitted to
University of Hawai‘i ﹘ West O‘ahu, faculty
members are addressing the need for more
writing-intensive classes, a UH systemwide Focus Requirement.
Dr. David Odhiambo, Chair of the UHWO
Faculty Senate Committee on Writing
Intensive Courses, said in spring 2016,
29 WI courses are being offered, which
is up from 22 in fall 2015. “I expect we’ll
see gradual increases in this number as
our student body of approximately 2,700
students grows” he said.
All students at UHWO are required to
take a minimum of three upper-division
WI courses upon graduation, one of which
is a student’s Senior Project or Senior
Practicum. In order to enroll in a WI class,
the student must be currently enrolled or
have already completed English 200 or an
equivalent course.
Stephanie Rivera, UHWO graduate, said,
“I have had one major issue that most
other students have had with writing
intensive courses: trying to get into them,”
she continued, “I had to make a number
of different game plans in order to ensure
that I would graduate on time, just in case
I would not be able to get into a WI course
for the semester.”
Some students struggle to enroll in
WI courses that pertain to their major,
which is an issue the Writing Committee
is working to improve, Odhiambo said.
Communication between faculty and
students is an important factor in shaping
the future of WI courses at UHWO, he said.
The process of a class becoming a
WI course takes time as professors are
required to submit forms and undertake
orientations with a representative of
the Writing Committee. Applications are
reviewed six to eight weeks before the
course should appear on the schedule
of courses for the following semester,
Odhiambo said. Any approved course
will remain a WI course for three years
and requires renewal upon expiration. If
the same course by the same professor
receives approval, an additional five
years is granted. Senior Project and Senior
Practicum courses remain permanent.
“I think UHWO is doing the best that they
can do with their WI courses but with the
influx enrollment, I can see how they may
be having difficulties opening up more
courses,” Rivera said.
In a recent survey on WI courses
conducted by the Humanities Division,
half of the respondents thought there
were enough WI courses offered, about 39
percent said there aren’t enough and 10.7
percent believe there are too many.
Rivera said, “I believe that faculty should
be more willing to teach writing intensive
courses because writing holds importance
in all disciplines and divisions.”
Odhiambo stated, “Faculty welcome
student feedback on the kinds of additional
classes they’d like to see offered, so I
encourage any student with concerns
about WI courses to communicate them
to their professors. We are listening.”
Additionally, Dr. Odhiambo can be contacted
at [email protected] with concerns.
Those concerns will be passed on to the
Writing Committee, which will then look for
ways to address them.
Robbery of Tokai Student Prompts Security Alert at UHWO
Two Males Assault Student, Steal Cell Phone
BY ‘OLENA VICTOR
Following the late-night robbery of a Hawaii
Tokai International College student last month,
University of Hawai‘i ﹘ West O‘ahu officials are
asking students and staff to take precautions
such as traveling in pairs, especially at night.
UH West O‘ahu received a report that a HTIC
student was assaulted about 10:20 p.m. on Dec.
2 by two Caucasian males, one about 5 feet 10
inches tall and the other 5 feet 1 inch, on the
sidewalk between the UHWO parking lot and the
Tokai parking lot.
The student had just gotten off the bus at the
UHWO stop. The two males got off the bus as well
and asked the student for directions to Pearl
City. When the student used his smartphone to
look up directions, one male grabbed him from
behind and attempted to take his phone while
the other male took his purse.
A report was filed with the Honolulu Police
Department. UHWO Environmental Health Safety
Coordinator Tavia Oshiro said the identities of
the two assailants are still unknown.
UHWO Campus Security said it is committed to
ensuring a safe and secure campus environment.
The campus security building is located in the
Maintenance/Mechanical Building. The office is
open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday
and officers can be reached at 808-689-2911.
A full list of UHWO‘s reported on-campus
crimes can be found on the Annual Security
Report, which can be accessed online at www.
uhwo.hawaii.edu/security.
Safety Tips:
•
•
•
•
Students and/or faculty should travel in pairs or
groups, particularly at night when walking to and
in the parking lot.
If you plan to stay on campus late at night, try to
park under the parking lot lamps or near the lit
areas of the parking lot.
Ask for a safety escort from campus security to
the parking lot. Dial 2911 from any campus phone
or dial 689-2911 from a mobile phone.
Be familiar with the location of the emergency
call boxes throughout the UHWO campus. When
activated, the caller will be connected to campus
security.

UHWO Hires
New VC for
Administration
BY MICHAEL O’MEALLY
Interim Chancellor Doris Ching announced
that Kevin Ishida will become University of
Hawaii ﹘ West O’ahu’s Vice Chancellor for
Administration. Upon approval, Ishida will
begin at UHWO on Feb. 1.
As VCA, Ishida will serve as UHWO’s chief
administrative and financial officer and his
office will be located at the university’s
rented office space in the Department of
Hawaiian Home Lands building.
Ishida will oversee leadership in
planning,
developing,
implementing and
monitoring the
campus’ budget,
human resources
and employee
relations, capital
improvement
projects,
information technology and computing
services, government relations, facilities
management, security, parking, auxiliary
services and environmental health and
safety for UHWO.
Ishida, a UH Manoa graduate, will
be moving to UHWO from Windward
Community College, where he worked
as the Vice Chancellor for Administrative
Services. Prior to working at WCC, Ishida
worked at the Manoa campus where he
served as a leader for many fiscal and
administrative roles such as the chief
administrator officer for the Department of
Anatomy, Biochemistry and Physiology at
the John A. Burns School of Medicine, as
well as chief fiscal officer for the Hawai’i
Natural Energy Institute, extramural funds
at UH Manoa’s College of Engineering and
the assistant fiscal officer for UH Manoa’s
summer session.
“We’re excited to have him come on board
as we prepare our campus for expansion
amidst our ever-increasing enrollment,”
Interim Chancellor Doris Ching said in an
email.
$25,000 Awarded to UHWO Facilities
Management Program
BY MICHAEL O’MEALLY
The University of Hawai‘i ﹘ West O‘ahu
received a $25,000 award from the Ingersoll
Rand Charitable Foundation to support
the Facilities Management program. The
funding will play a major role in certifying
facility managers through the International
Facilities Managers Association.
According to UH News, two facilities
management concentrations will be
offered at UHWO, one in the business
administration division and the second
as a transfer pathway option for transfer
students from community colleges that
would like to continue their academic
journey.
“Commercial buildings are complex
facilities. To a hospital, corporation or
education system, the actual building
itself is a critical asset for them to achieve
its mission. The technical skills required
to manage these buildings are changing
as technology evolves and people’s
expectations around energy efficiency
and indoor comfort increase,” said Scott
Lagana, Hawai‘i business leader for Trane,
a brand of Ingersoll Rand, told UH News.
Students in the facilities management
program will study a wide spectrum of
building operations such as heating,
ventilation, air-conditioning system designs,
Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design (LEED), operational budget planning
and personnel management.
Sherry Proper, UHWO Director of Strategic
Initiatives, said the school will run a pilot
program in May 2016 using International
Facilities
Management
Association
Sustainable Facilities Professional (SFP)
curriculum that will lead to professional
IFMA SFP certification. “We are extremely
grateful to the Trane and Ingersoll Rand
Corporations for this generous support
of our facilities management initiatives,”
Proper said.
Distance Learning Tech Tip:
Laulima has several communication tools that may be available depending on what
your instructor prefers to use. Here are two of the major tools that you may come across
in your courses:
The Discussion Board tool acts as an open forum for your classmates and your instructor.
It’s a great place to post questions that can be answered by anyone in the course. This
can be very helpful as a study resource – if you have a question, others might have the
same one! When you post under Discussions, keep in mind that these messages are
contained within the Laulima system. This means that messages may be lost after the
completion of the course.
We suggest using Mailtool for most of your communications through Laulima. Messages
sent through Mailtool will be sent to your hawaii.edu email account. This is different from
the Discussions tool, since it is linked to an email service outside of Laulima. This ensures
that there will be a record of these messages in your email account after the completion
of the course. Mailtool is a great way to send important information to all members of
the course, or even just to contact your instructor directly!

Fashion Trends: January 2016
BY MICHAEL O’MEALLY
Out with the old, in with the new! New styles
will be appearing all over the fashion universe,
which means it’s time to refresh your wardrobe.
The first step is to rid your closet of the unused
sweaters, dusty shoes and runaway-buttoned
shirts.
Everyone has that one shirt we’ve had for over
a year that does nothing but hang at the end of
the closet. Yes, you may have used it for about
three months because it was love at first sight,
but like most things in life, it (literally) fades.
It’s time to let go. If you don’t use it, lose it.
The same rule applies to the oversized top you
bought because it was the last one in stock: let
it go.
The problem with shoes is that no one ever
knows how many pairs they own. Even if
you do know how many pairs you own, the
next question would be, “How many pairs do
you use?” The never-ending war between “I
want” and “I need” will always haunt us. Just
remember to count how many you already have
(work shoes count too), and do not forget to
count the pair you are already wearing.
After the closet has been cleansed, the
shopping can commence. You have already
analyzed what your closet is missing, so you will
be able to know the difference between “want”
and “need.”
GQ Magazine has taken note that people are
more conscious of the functionality of their
clothes and accessories. More consumers want
to know where their clothes were made and the
quality of the material. Why is the jacket $70?
What does it do? How many pockets does it
have? Is the jacket climate-controlled? What is it
made of? These are questions that more people
have been asking.
Fashion icons Dev Hynes and Jill Wenger told
GQ that they want to know how something
functions by just looking at it. Comfort is a major
factor in today’s fast-paced world, so having
clothes with universal functions is a priority.
Once you’ve got the clothing, don’t forget to
buy new accessories. Sunglasses and watches
complete any outfit. Accent your clothes with
the right watch or necklace, and don’t forget
that sunglasses should complement your face
and outfit, not distract. For instance, square
frames generally look good on everyone, so start
trying on a few pairs to find the perfect fit.
Your revamped closet is now ready to be
organized! Closets shouldn’t just function as
storage — they should be used to present your
clothes. DIY shoe displays and mini-shelves
make a world of difference. You will be able to
create your own personal boutique and bring
excitement back into your wardrobe!
Hot Eats: HI Cravings
If your New Year’s resolution is to eat
healthier, HI Cravings in Kapolei is your next
Instagram post.
Only about a seven-minute drive from
UHWO, HI Cravings, commonly known as
@JessDaBestAcaiBowls on social media,
offers a variety of tasty treats that include
the popular original acai blend, acai sorbet,
pitaya and gelato. HI Cravings is located
inside the Beautiville Salon next to the
Kapolei Chinese Restaurant at 525 Farrington
Highway.
The menu includes Pitaya, a Nicaraguan
Dragon Fruit Blend; Acai, a Brazilian Acai
Berry and Fruit Blend; Mauka, which blends
fruits and greens; and Acai Sorbet, which
combines Sambazon Acai and mixed berry
sorbetto.
Prices start at $8.50 for a mini bowl with
one blend, $10.50 for two blends and $11.50
for three blends.
Top your bowl of deliciousness with a
variety mix of unique add-ons, such as li
hing mui, taro ice cream, kiawe honey, and
BY ‘OLENA VICTOR
stuffed strawberry.
On a recent trip to HI Cravings, a mini acai
bowl with additional add-ons of chocolate
syrup and three pieces of cookie dough
satisfied my sweet tooth. Even though it was
a mini, it was more than enough since the
fruits were stacked high.
As customers enjoy their bowl, they can
admire the work of local artists on the walls
that not only serve as decoration, but are
also for sale. Prices for the art pieces start
at $20.
If you don’t have the time to relax and dine
in, no worries! HI Cravings accepts takeout
orders to grab and enjoy on the go, perfect
for a student’s busy schedule.
Follow HI Cravings on Instagram and check
for pop-up sites around the island and store

TV SERIES
REVIEW
BY JESICA YEE
Everyone has a past. Everyone was once
young. Although the story of how your
parents met each other is their very own.
“How I Met Your Mother” is a slice of life,
romantic and hilarious sitcom that was
first aired on CBS in the late summer of
2005 and ended their series in the spring
of 2014.
Creators, Cater Bays and Craig Thomas,
were just two college graduates who wrote
the series based on their lives in New
York City. They originally were going to
write for The New Yorker, but a bit of luck
and opportunity led them to a field they
never thought they’d enter, entertainment.
According to theCHIVE, the series made
approximately a total of $225,000 per
episode.
Bays stated in an interview with E!
Entertainment Television that the writing
of the sitcom “just sort of happened
naturally.”
The plotlines begin with Ted Mosby, who
plays Josh Radnor, a 27-year-old architect,
in the year 2030 who tells his two children
a long-winded story about his four best
friends that leads up to the meeting of
their mother back in 2005.
When Ted’s best friend from Wesleyan
College, lawyer Marshall Eriksen, played
by Jason Segel, and Lily Aldrin, played by
Alyson Hannigan, got engaged after nine
years of dating, Ted is pressured to find the
love of his life.
Along Ted’s journey, he is accompanied
by Barney Stinson, played by Neil Patrick
Harris. Barney, the trickster of the group,
ventures through the city and attempts
to meet women in the strangest, most
creative ways. One woman in particular
is Robin Scherbatsky, played by Cobie
HAPPY NEW YEAR
FROM THE HOOT
STAFF
Smulders, an aspiring news anchor among
the group of friends.
The series is perfect for romantics and
those who love adventure with lighthearted comedy. Each episode offers a
new hilarious story to keep fans hooked
and viewers tend to connect with each one
of the character’s unique personality.
The characters are relatable, fun to be
around, and complement each other.
Although the series has already ended,
the full show is available on Netflix and
I recommend watching the series with
friends.
