From its humble beginnings as UH Mānoa’s lo‘i, or taro patch, Ka Papa Lo‘i O Kānewai is getting a touch up with the addition of a Cultur-al Resource Center, which will be built next to the Kamakakūokalani Center for Hawaiian Studies on Dole Street. “The Resource Center will lit-erally bring us out from under the tents,” said Edward Makahiapo Cashman, director of Ka Papa Lo‘i Kānewai Cultural Garden. “It will al-low our staff and practitioners a place to work and create tools for their practice, like building canoes, carv-ing and ku‘i kalo (pound taro).” This idea initially came from the Kānewai staff, Ho‘okahe Wai Ho‘oulu ‘āina members, a group who based their philosophy on re-storing water fl ow and making the land productive, and community members almost 10 years ago as they worked on a plan for the lo‘i. “I think it’s a good idea. I think more people will be attracted to the lo‘i by building the cultural resource center,” said junior Noel Hahn, who participates in Ka Papa Lo‘i Kānewai’s First Saturdays program. After the plan was set, the Kānewai staff applied for a U.S. Department of Housing and Ur-ban Development grant. After being awarded $670,000 from the HUD, the staff received help from WCIT Architecture’s Wayne

Goo, who worked with architec-ture students to design the antici-pated Resource Center. “The Resource Center will fea-ture a pavilion-style, all-purpose room, a resource room, workshop, storage and staff bathroom and show-er,” Cashman said. The construction for the Re-source Center is expected to begin sometime this month and should take about seven months to construct, ac-cording to the director. The staff hopes that, in the fu-ture, the Resource Center will be home to workshops that will fea-ture different practitioners in the community to help students build relationships and to be a meeting place for a variety of events. “If they’re going to invest money in to the main campus, I don’t see why it would be a problem for them to invest money into Native Hawaiian resources like the lo‘i,” Hahn said. Because the project is getting fi -nancial support by the HUD, the lo‘i will continue to thrive as it serves the UH Mānoa community. “The community has always been a part of Kānewai,” Cashman said. “We hope to be able to better serve our UH community with the programs and maybe even offer more classes that people have been asking for.” Cashman said volunteers who at-tend First Saturdays will continue to cultivate kalo during construction to carry on the legacy that began more than three decades ago.

Earlier this year, State House and Senate budget lawmakers low-ered university funds by cutting $7 million from the state legislature and $2.5 million from the governor’s of-fi ce. The cut in funds for the univer-sity took effect on July 1. “The University of Hawai‘i, like the rest of the state, has suffered deep budget cuts since the recession hit Hawai‘i and the nation,” interim presi-dent David Lassner said in an email. The decline in funds from the state legislature has remained con-sistent during the past few years. In 2009 the University of Hawai‘i received $246 million in tax money by the state budget. In 2013, the university will receive $190 million. The university has seen its portion of overall state general funds decline from 8.7 percent in the fi scal year of 2009 to 6.7 percent in the fi scal year of 2013, according to the biennium budget by the Boards of Regents workshop published in 2012. The university has taken mea-sures to respond to the lack of funds. For example, the cost of tuition at the Mānoa campus has increased for the last fi ve years. In 2011 the Uni-versity of Hawai‘i’s Board of Regents approved a 35 percent increase in tu-ition over fi ve years. This increase in tuition generates about $10 million in additional income for the university’s budget according to Senate Ways and Means Chair David Ige in a Ha-waiiNewsNow report. “I feel that with the rise in tuition cost over the past few years has forced students into applying and competing

for more scholarships that UHM has to offer, which from what I have expe-rienced are very hard to come by or do not cover much cost. Students also ap-ply and attend the community college branches of the UH system, which I hear isn’t a bad idea these days,” said Trevor Watanabe, a sophomore major-ing in communication. The university’s administra-tion will continue its attempts to shield the students from the im-pacts of the funding cuts. “We’ve had to look for effi cien-cies wherever possible and stretch resources. President Emerita MRC Greenwood noted that one of her team’s proudest achievements was managing to sustain these cuts, in the tens of millions of dollars annually, without sacrifi cing classroom instruc-tion and while supporting the highest student enrollments in the history of the university,” Lassner said. Some students still worry that ser-vices might be terminated to save money. “I would be worried if tutoring services on campus become affected,” said junior animal science major Krista Ann Lee. “I often receive help from the tutors on diffi cult concepts covered in class, as do many of my friends.” Along with the decrease in annual support from the state’s general fund, state lawmakers also eliminated 100 vacant unfunded jobs across the uni-versity’s campuses. Unfunded posi-tions have been kept vacant for years in hopes that money will be available in the future to fi ll the positions. “Moving forward, we will still need to adapt to ensure we can continue to provide students throughout Hawai‘i with access to a high-quality educa-tional experience,” Lassner said.

The University of Hawaii at Manoa is delighted to announce the beginning of a Persian Language, Linguistics, and Culture Program, an exciting initiative made possible through a grant from and in

partnership with Roshan Cultural Heritage Institute (http://www.roshan-institute.org). An integral component of this new initiative is support provided for Persian graduate studies. Two Roshan Institute Graduate Fellowships for students of Linguistics and Second Language Studies and two

Roshan Institute Fellowships for graduate students of Persian will be awarded to qualified students.

Persian courses may provide credits for Persian-speaking students who are in undergraduate and graduate programs at the University of Hawaii to fulfill second language requirements.

From meditation to medieval com-bat, there are more than 200 student or-ganizations at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa covering a diverse range of activities. There is fellowship out there for anyone looking to spruce up his or her school year.

MĀNOA MEDIEVAL COMBAT CLUB Feeling an itch to pick up a sword, don some armor and rush into battle? Part of the national organization Belegarth Medieval Combat Society, this club serves as an athletic medieval sports group, providing its members with the opportunity to study and practice a vari-ety of medieval combat arts. In the spirit of medieval times, club members design their weapons with safe materials to prac-tice and “battle” without holding back. The Mānoa Medieval Combat Club prac-tices weekly and is open to all students looking to have a good time in a unique but close-knit group setting. Website: facebook.com/groups/116822768351073/

RAINBOW JUGGLERS JUGGLING CLUB Another student organization with a distinct focus in the realm of active arts is the Rainbow Jugglers Juggling Club. The name is somewhat of a mouthful, and the club promises to keep its members’ hands just as full. The Rainbow Jugglers Juggling Club is open to anyone with an interest in juggling, no matter the skill level. As novel as this student organization sounds, the Rainbow Jugglers Juggling Club has been around since 1989. Club members meet weekly to teach and de-velop a mastery over the art of juggling in a fun, relaxed environment. Website: rainbowjugglers.org Email: jugglers@hawaii.edu

TRANSCENDENTAL MEDITATION CLUB Since 1986, the Transcendental Meditation Club has helped students reduce stress, harness clearer thinking and learn to help themselves.

Group meditations and other events are scheduled at the demand of club members. Website: facebook.com/honolulutm Twitter: @tmhonoluluEmail: tmclub@hawaii.edu

INTERNATIONAL STUDENT ASSOCIATION For students in pursuit of new friendships, the International Student Association at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa offers an intimate net-work of members from around the world, including U.S. Mainland students and local students as well. The ISA meets weekly and plans various activi-ties to offer support for its members and to promote teamwork, leadership and communication skills among international students. Be on the lookout for the ISA’s fall 2013 membership registration dates via its website. Website: isauhm.comEmail: isauhm@hawaii.edu

Senior Staff Writer

History is on the line for Dave Shoji, head coach of the Rainbow Wahine volleyball team. With this weekend’s Ha -wai ian A irl ines Wahine Vol -leybal l Classic, Shoji is t ied for most career wins in NCA A Div ision I histor y with former UCL A head coach A ndy Bana -chowski at 1,106. “I am not surprised,” senior l ibero A li Longo said. “He has dedicated a ton of t ime and energy to this program and has consistently made it a top program in the nat ion. He def i -nitely deserves to hold that re -cord. He’s a great coach in the volleyball community.” To become the most success-ful coach in NCA A history, Shoji must first lead his team to vic-

tory over Santa Clara on Friday or UCLA on Saturday.

THE T ITLES Shoji has three NCA A Championship t it les under his belt along with f ive total ap -pearances in the f inals. He is an 11 t ime conference, nine -t ime Regional and two-time National Coach of the Year. In December 2011, he was inducted into the AVCA Hall of Fame.

YOUNG SHOJI Shoji at tended Upland High School in Cali fornia, where he played football , basketball and baseball . A f ter graduat ing, he cont inued his athlet ic career at UC Santa Barbara, playing baseball for one year and vol -leyball for three. At UCSB, he earned All-

American honors as a volleyball player. After serving two years in the United States Army, Shoji coached girls’ and boys’ volleyball at Kalani High School and eventu-ally took an assistant coaching job at Punahou High School. “He is very humble,” Longo said. “He is able to be a super-star in the community, but if you were that one person who doesn’t know him, you would just think he is a regular guy.” In 1975, Shoji took over the UH women’s volleyball program. He coached them to two national title matches before finally win-ning it all against Utah State in 1979. He steered the team to another title win against USC in 1982 and then again versus UCLA the following year. This last victory made Hawai‘i the first school to win back-to-back NCA A championships.

THE FAMILY NAME Not only is the name “Shoji” as-sociated with the UH head coach, but all of his children have made their name known in the volleyball world as well. His oldest, Cobey, played for Michigan, was the Direc-tor of Volleyball Operations at Stan-ford for six seasons and last year gave birth to Shoji’s fi rst grand-child, Micah Knight Hutzler. Middle child Kawika played at Stanford. And two years later, the youngest Shoji, Erik, joined the Cardinal squad. They were key players in Stanford’s “Worst to First” three-year journey, starting from a 3-25 season in 2007 to a na-tional championship in 2010. Both are currently on the U.S. Men’s National Volleyball Team.

F INAL YEAR? The rumors continue about Shoji’s potential retirement, but he has

not made any announcement whether he will return next season. No matter when the time comes, the legacy and powerhouse program will be forever grateful to the knowledge and coach-ing that Shoji will leave behind. “My favorite thing about Dave is that he keeps it simple,” senior setter Mita Uiato said. “He talks to us where we can understand, and he’s not too radical, and he always reminds us to have fun cause we play the best when we have fun.”
