Now as a UH student she first typed documents on a manual machine, she has learned to transcribe her written stories and poetry using a computer word processor.

Page, who wrote an entire preservation manual and teaches the subject for all of Southern California, never dealt with a disaster of this magnitude. The library also consulted a 600- page manual written by Colorado State University’s library staff after their library’s basement was flooded. Staff at California State University Northridge’s library, which was dam- aged from an earthquake several years ago, also were consulted. “They (Colorado State) had a flash flood seven years ago and the same thing happened to them,” Perushek said. “We called them and they have given us a lot of advice.” Perushek said the library staff will be advised on preventive measures to avoid similar disasters. At Colorado State, a wall was built in the area where the flood water came into the library. Manoa Stream will also be exam- ined so water won’t jump again in the future. The floodwater came down from Manoa, filled the moat area behind Hamilton on Maile Way and eventually broke down an emergency door and windows leading into the basement.

During these past five months, we as UH Manoa students have experienced several meaningful events. Some of these events, such as the flooding of Hamilton Library and the high costs in student bus fares only affect lives temporarily as students. Other events, such as the re- election of President George W. Bush, will continue to affect our lives for far longer. And some things, like Timmy Chang’s breaking of the NCAA career passing record that was held by Ty Detmer, are simply a mark in the record books. Here is your semester in pho- tographs.

“I didn’t know what to expect when I trav- elled into the depths of Hamilton Library the after the worst flood to hit UH Manoa. The damage was in comprehensable. Yet, the real story wasn’t about destruction. From the determination seen in the eyes of this professor while he hauled out damaged computer servers to the countless hours volunteered by students, faculty and staff –– their efforts were nothing short of inspir- ing. That was the real story.”

After losing the first two games, the ‘Bows stormed back, taking the next two before falling just short, losing 21-19 in the last game. “I told my players this was one of the best volleyball matches I’ve ever been involved with as a player or coach,” Hawai`i coach Warriors: Sensley puts Dave Shoji said. “It had every emotion you could ask for.” The loss brought an end to a surprising year for the ‘Bows, who started the season without six starters from last year’s squad. Though no one expected it, they reeled off 30-straight wins, becoming only the second Rainbow Wahine squad to finish the regular season undefeated. up 23 points, 4 assists

Rainbow Wahine beat back SMS, BYU Cougars

By Scott Alonso Ka Leo Staff Writer

They just could not be stopped. After beating California in the Rainbow Wahine Classic, the University of Hawai‘i women’s basketball team wanted to continue their winning streak. Their wish was granted in the Waikiki Beach Marriot Invitational as the ‘Bows beat back Southeast Missouri State 79-69 on Thursday night and Brigham Young on Saturday, 56-44. Both of Hawai‘i’s opponents entered the tournament with a com- bined record of 8-2, so it was no easy task for the 1-2 Wahine come out of this weekend with a 3-2 record. Against the Cougars, the ‘Bows jumped out to an early 11-2 advan- tage, led by Rainbow senior Jade Abele’s seven points. Fellow senior Milia Macfarlane’s free throw would give the ‘Bows their largest lead of the half, 16-4, with 11:45 to go in the period. However, ‘Bows appeared to run out of steam, scor- ing just six points from that point until the end the half. Meanwhile, BYU would take advantage of Hawai‘i’s inability to score as Kristen Kozlowski, who earned all-tournament honors, had six points to pull the Cougars within eight, 18-10. In a span of 35 seconds, Cougar Danielle Chessman hit a 3-pointer and a jumper to pull BYU within seven, 22-15 with just over two minutes left. However, neither team score again in the half. Both teams struggled from the field in the first half, with BYU hit- ting just 21 percent of its shots and Hawai‘i only 38 percent. A Brittany Grice basket quickly erased the Bows’ five-minute scor- ing drought from the first half, giv- ing Hawai‘i a 24-17 lead with 18:26 left in the game. After the ‘Bows opened up a 13- point lead, Cougar Nancy Seljaas hit back-to-back 3-pointers, which were followed by back-to-back lay ups by Kozlowski to cut Hawai‘i’s lead to just five points with under four min-
