I'm a UH alumnus and even I recognize how ridiculous this statement is. ;D Not so ridiculous. Notice all the observatories on Mauna Kea and Haleakala? Governments and universities fight to get to build observatories on these sites, where, unlike California, light pollution is minimal (Hilo has light guards on its street lights). UH has its own observatory up there. Some of the most startling astronomical observations and discoveries came from the UH astronomical department. Stanford cannot match it. UH also has strong marine biology and tropical agriculture programs. No university can have great programs in all of its dozens of various academic disciplines. A middle of the pack school can have several outstanding programs and UH does. Yes, because I'm sure Ms. Klineman is so waaaay into astronomy. Let me be the one to point this out, 99.99999% of females(even less so athletes) are not into science UNLESS it's in medicine/biology. In fact, universities spend a lot of money trying to get girls into engineering with little success, much less physics, astronomy, chemistry, etc. People need to relax a little about Klineman, you're all acting like it will make or break your program.

You do know IB that it would be an NCAa recruiting violation for you to even talk to her while she was on a visit don't you??? Or do the UH fans really give a hoot about the NCAA rules? Not that I'm a rule-breaker, but, why would UH fans give a hoot about the NCAA rules when the NCAA is all but set against the Rainbows as it is? Stripping a national title over a silly affair, sending them all over the country when they earned the right to host, the NCAA sucks in so many ways. Regardless, I'm not a rule breaker and the rules don't apply to me. I'm a student for cripes sake!

Klineman is a program maker. Period. Maybe you're behind the times with your stat. There are more females in our school in grad programs that males.

That doesn't suprise me, females are much better with academics, this has been known. Which grad programs are they in though? I'm guessing a lot of education, business, accounting, and probably biology, like I mentioned.
The point is, I very seriously doubt Klineman is into astronomy.

Some people may also think that Stanford's academic reputation is a bit overwhelming. I don't know if I would be able to handle being in a college class where everyone was in the top 1.5% of their high school class. Or maybe I am just an underachiver. Yeah, I think that is it, underachiver, definately.

Hope Klineman chooses Hawaii. But even if not, I have a hunch Otineru will return. Otineru is planning on returning to Hawaii. In fact she's red-shirting at CSI this year and giving up an opportunity to play with her sister so she'll have another year of elligibilty at Hawaii: "Cubi-Otineru hopes to transfer to the University of Hawaii after graduating from CSI. The Rainbow Wahine recruited her out of high school. While the decision to sit out will give her an extra year of eligibility at the NCAA Division I level, it will cost her a year of playing with younger sister, freshman Kawena Cubi-Otineru at CSI." magicvalley.com/articles/2006/08/27/sports_local/sports_local.1.txt

I sure hope her or any of her volley-buddies don't read this forum too much. UH fans are probably scaring her with their stalker tendencies, not to mention the fact that next to Jesus Christ, they think she could be the most omnipotent being ever to don a UH Wahine volleyball uniform if she commits to UH.

I'm sure she's used to all the attention, wherever she goes. Besides I seriously doubt her decision will be affected in anyway by what someone posts on a message board.

The original point was that Stanford was way ahead of UH in Academia. Lanaiboy's comment was that not in all cases. He pointed at astronomy as one example of UH's excellence. Surprise, surprise, UH is not all about hula, surfing, and ukelele playing after all! Let me give you and Dorothymantooth several other examples (I am sure there are more): tropical agriculture, oceanography, marine biology and marine zoology. UH's research institutes in these areas are among the top in the country, if not the world. I don't think Stanford comes up to UH in these fields of study. UH has also made recent world headlines in cancer and cloning researches. I agree with Wolfgang: In the last analysis, it's not the school that will determine success, but the student.

Ooops! Lanaiboy did cover marine sciences. I just want to add tropical agriculture. The UH College of tropical ag is top in the country. Also, Its business college was recently recognized as being one of the best in the country.

Conclusion: Tho I majored in Ukelele playing and lei making, you can study the cosmos and do research in medical science in beautiful Manoa Valley and take breaks at the beach.

All of the research science criteria is fine and dandy for the 2% of the college-bound young people who want to study and pursue their life passion, but for the other 98% of us who want a college degree as a vehicle to pursue a better job/career...let's see...this may be a stretch....but I'm thinking.... Stanford degree + alumni network + reputation > UH degree + alumni network + reputation Someone accused me of being a math major. Couldn't be farther from the truth. I got dual degrees from UH - BFA in modern dance, and BA in Recreation Science/PE. I now a really nice living as a blackjack dealer at an Indian casino here in the Central Valley of California. You just never know.

Also, Its business college was recently recognized as being one of the best in the country. Hawaii has some natural advantages for academic study. Another area is volcanology; if you want to study the formation of a new volcano , UH scientists are following the underwater volcanic eruption of Loihi just off the Big Island. Kilauea also has the longest continuous volcanic eruption in the world, over a decade. It's a volcanologist paradise. As to be expected UH has a nationally reknown travel industry college, logical because of Hawaii's heavy reliance on tourism. Governments around the world seek its assistance in developing tourist infrastructure.
