Friends and family piled into McLaren this past weekend to enjoy the 5th Annual Ho'ike, in which USF students in the Hawaiian Ensemble performed various dances celebrating the stories ofthe elements. Before the performance, guests were able to dine in the confer­ ence center where delicious bar­ becue was served. Traditional Hawaiian music played over the sound of eating and mingling, getting everyone in the mood for the upcoming dancing. After an hour of eating, the show was ready to begin. Melissa COURTESY OF STUDENT LEADERSHIP AND ENGAGEMENT Tecson, serving as the master of The female students of USF's Hawaiian Ensemble welcomed the audience with their bright, handmade outfits and majestic choreography. ceremonies for the night, livened the audience as she introduced the first dance of the elements. The lovely ladies of the Hawai­ ian Ensemble took to the stage dressed in bright tropical dress­ es, designed and stitched by the members themselves. Maintaining true Hawaiian form, the dances did not merely depict earth, wind; and fire, but rather how "the wind kisses the water," as Melissa explained. And although the majority ofthe ensemble members were wom­ en, the men of the dance group eventually took the stage, caus­ ing a thunder of whistles and cheers from their friends, and— I assume—every middle aged woman present, as they were all shirtless and covered in tribal art. Before wrapping up, the show, took pause for a lighthearted mo­ ment, as joieoibers went into the audience to select their friends and relatives to join them on stage for a dance tutorial, in which they were forced to awk­ wardly swerve and shake their hips.

JOHN HOLTON StaffWriter

The Dons won both ol their two games last week, beating the Pacific Tigers in a close matchup on Saturday after defeating St. Mary's for the first time since 2006 just two days before. The wins improve the Dons' season record to 18-10 and their con­ ference record to 11-5, current­ ly putting them at third in the Western Coast Conference. Despite a late drive by Pacific that almost won them the game, USF managed to hang on for the win against the Tigers in a 64-59 victory, aided in part by 15-point games from both senior forward Cole Dickerson and sophomore guard Avry Holmes. Dickerson also tacked on 13 rebounds for the Dons in his final home game for USF before he graduates. "I'm sure emotions played a big part with Cole [Dickerson] today," head coach Rex Walters told usfdons.com. "He doesn't show much on the outside, but he wanted this one bad for obvi­ ous reasons." The Dons jumped out to an early lead against the Tigers and maintained it throughout the course of the first half. USF headed into halftime up 33-21, but the Tigers rallied fiercely in the second half and managed to take the lead a couple of times, but only by two points at most.
