Use all the tools at your disposal: tutoring resources on campus PAIGE TAKEYA Special Issues Editor College is more than you and a pile of textbooks against the world. The University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa offers a number of special tutoring services that will make your life easier.

THE WRITING CENTER Purpose: Writing assistance Location: KUY 415 Hours: Mon-Fri 9 a.m.-6 p.m.

If you’re having trouble thinking of essay topics, writing a thesis or understanding comma splices, The Writing Center is where you need to be. The WC is staffed primarily by English undergraduate and graduate students who are trained to work with students from all majors and language backgrounds. The WC will not edit papers for you, but tutors will work with you on your problem areas as best they can. It is recommended that you make an appoint-

ment, as walk-in availability is not guaranteed.

Scan this QR code to make an appointment at the Writing Center.

L E A R N I N G A S S I S TA N C E CENTER Purpose: General academic and personal learning strategies Location: Sinclair Library, Mezzanine 1 Hours: Mon-Fri 9 a.m.-5 p.m.; weekends by appointment The transition from high school to college can be difficult if you

don’t have a game plan. The Learning Assistance Center seeks to help you make one. It offers specialized seminars or tutoring sessions that focus on general learning skills (like time management or note taking) or specific subjects (like math or chemistry). You can also use the LAC to find a study group if you need one. The LAC website also contains a number of useful links for study strategies.

Scan this QR code to visit the LAC website.

U N D E RG R A D UAT E LEARNING EMPORIUM Purpose: Additional assistance in math and science Location: Bilger Addition 209 Hours: Mon-Fri 8 a.m.-5 p.m. (dependent on tutor availability) Math and science come naturally to some, but to others, they are mountains to climb. The Undergraduate Learning Emporium offers students a place where they can do their assignments under the watchful eye of an experienced tutor. The ULE specifically offers help in introductory courses in math, chemistry, information and computer sciences, biology, zoology and physics. Tutors are available for specific hours each week, so visit their website to make sure someone is there to work with you.

OTHER OPTIONS If you have needs that go beyond what these services can offer, there are al-

ways more options. Athletes can take advantage of the Nagatani Academic Center, a program dedicated to the student-athletes of UH Mānoa.

Some departments have their own in-house tutoring options. Additionally, private tutors abound and advertise themselves either through individual departments or on the bulletin boards scattered around campus. Talk to your advisor if you need assistance, and he or she should be able to hook you up with the right person.

Don’t forget that if you’re really struggling, the best person to talk to may very well be your professor. No one is better suited, after all, to help you pass a course than the man or woman teaching it. If your class has a teaching assistant or a mentor assigned to it, utilize their expertise too. These are people paid to help you learn – why not take advantage of it?

Working on campus PAIGE TAKEYA Special Issues Editor

Getting a retail job is always an option for college students, but why go to the mall when you can fi nd work on campus that pays the same (if not better) and is closer to class?

Campus jobs have many advantages: Employers are understanding about your class demands and let you off during exam time, you get a mandatory annual pay raise and anyone who is at least a half-time University of Hawai‘i student can work at any campus.

Applying for a job is easy: Head to the Mānoa Career Center in QLCSS 212 or go to sece.its.hawaii.edu/ sece, sign in using your UH username and password and shop around. Not sure what you’re going to fi nd?

Here are a few examples of the range of available jobs.

Helpful services for freshmen PAIGE TAKEYA Special Issues Editor Freshmen are the hope of the institution, and as such, the University of Hawai‘i at M ā noa is eager to invest in specialized services that can make the transition from high school to college easier.

Here are a few of the freshmen-exclusive programs that aim to give you an extra boost.

M Ā N OA A DV I S I N G C E N T E R Where: QLCSS 101 When: Mon-Fri (closed Wed) 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m.

The MAC is an advising service specifi cally geared toward those who enter college without a major in mind or as a pre-major – a situation most freshmen will fi nd familiar. MAC is staffed with peer advisors who can offer feedback and suggestions based on their own experience that can guide you to choosing the best major for what you need.

Once you choose a major, you will continue advising with your particular department, so MAC should be a stepping stone on your way to a degree. Visit their offi ce to set up an appointment.

Tip: Seeing an advisor is mandatory every semester for the undeclared, so do it early and avoid the hassle and the rush later. It’s okay to be undecided in your freshmen year, but if you fi nd yourself nearing junior year without any direction, you should start worrying.

FRESHMEN SEMINARS PHOTOS BY ISMAEL MA / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

The Mānoa Advising Center (top) is located right in the entrance of QLCSS, while the Honors Program is tucked in the back of Sinclair Library in the Commons. Use the door behind the stairs to find it.

Where: Various classes When: Register online during scheduled time It’s a bit too late to sign up for ACE Leaning Clusters – where

groups of freshmen are placed in the same classes to help foster camaraderie and support in their fi rst semester – but Freshmen Seminars are still available.

Freshmen Seminars are 10-person classes that only enroll freshmen, so the intention is to facilitate the transition between high-school classes and the demands of college. Most seminars fulfi ll general education requirements. Seminars are marked with section numbers in the 300’s, so keep that in mind when you register.

Tip: Large-enrollment lecture courses are pretty overwhelming if it’s your fi rst semester, so if you feel uncertain about whether you can resist the temptation of sneaking out when there are 200 other peers that will mask your absence, you should take smaller classes to start off.

H O N O R S P RO G R A M

Where: Sinclair Library Commons When: Applications for spring 2014 accepted starting in September If you prefer to excel beyond the norm, the Honors program can offer extra opportunities to ambitious freshmen. It might be too late to apply for this fall, but applications are open for spring starting in September. Being an Honors student has many perks, including smaller, more focused classes; special housing on campus; networking and degree honors later. Freshmen should look at Selected Studies as their starting point to entering the program.

Tip: Honors may seem like extra work, but if you’re a dedicated student with aspirations of graduate school or law school later, this boost may be invaluable. Plus, the priority registration never hurts.

How to graduate in four years Graduating in four years isn’t easy, and sometimes it feels almost impossible. But with the right steps, receiving your degree on time can be an achievable reality: All it takes is a structured plan and a lot of perseverance.

Make a goal to reach every year, whether it’s seeing an advisor to narrow down your major or finishing your general education requirements by sophomore year.

Having a step-by-step plan will help you become more organized in school and in life. Here is a timeline to follow as you begin your college career.

well as what upper-level classes you should be taking in your junior and senior years.

Many people take classes for fun without realizing they’ve fulfilled the same requirement several times.

There’s nothing wrong with exploring your options during college, but don’t waste them by taking similar classes that don’t do anything for your degree.

Be proactive in clubs this year, and run for a club or board officer seat to get more acquainted with companies and organizations.

Being a member of an independent organization on campus isn’t necessary to graduate, but it’ll help you network with professionals who can get you internships during school and jobs out of college.

D U R I N G YO U R F R E S H M A N Y E A R

D U R I N G YO U R J U N I O R Y E A R

It is essential to see an advisor as soon as possible, and it’s mandatory for students to see one each year, so you should get that out of the way in the beginning. Advising can get you acquainted with any major you want to pursue. Whether it’s medicine or law, planning a schedule that works for your specific major is vital for that four-year degree.

Peer advisers are students themselves and will help you off the beaten path and on to a paved and structured one. Most can tell you from experience how easy or difficult certain classes are, which can give you a better idea of which classes to take.

Don’t hesitate to ask questions, and take this time to experiment and pursue the harder major now – it may be too late to switch it later.

Make a few mock schedules for each semester to get a view of how you’ll fi nish that degree in four years. Since some majors suggest taking summer sessions to prevent a full course load during the fall and spring semesters, students should plan their schedules carefully.

Have back-up classes in case you miss some during registration, and plan accordingly around those changes.

Finish up your general education requirements, but start looking for an internship. Devote this year to getting real work experience. Some students think getting an internship is only essential in your senior year, but the longer you are at an internship, the more likely you’ll be hired afterward.

The point of an internship is to network with potential employers who’ll give you an insight into a variety of careers. It’s a school all in itself, giving you the inside scoop on what it takes to make a degree into a career.

B OBBY B ERGONIO Staff Writer

D U R I N G YO U R S O P H OMO R E YEAR Aim to have at least half or more of your general education requirements fulfilled.

Sophomore year should be the time when you’ve decided which major you’ll pursue, as

D U R I N G YO U R S E N I O R Y E A R Double check on any requirements you’ve missed. The average student can switch majors up to three times during college, and it’s necessary to double check on your requirements for your fi nal major, lest you get surprised during your “fi nal” semester.

Don’t be one of those seniors who didn’t realize they were three credits short from graduating. Always review your requirements with an advisor who verifies what you have and haven’t taken and finds you loopholes.

Lastly, finish up all the necessary graduation forms. Waiting until the end of your final semester will hurt you, so fill out that goldenrod early. Order your gown as soon as possible before senioritis gets to you. You’re at the home stretch, turning your tassels once again, so don’t procrastinate. A four-year degree should be in your hands in no time.

Most students enter college thinking they’ll graduate on time. Unfortunately, it doesn’t happen very often.

In Hawai‘i, on average, full-time students take 5.8 years to earn a 4-year degree and 5.6 years to earn a 2-year degree.

This means more time and more money. For example, you can save as much as $12,000 on D EDFKHORU¡V GHJUHH IURP 8+ 0ąQRD LI \RX WDNH 15 credits per semester and graduate on time.

How to use

LAULIMA

PAIGE TAKEYA Special Issues Editor Education is moving online – and the University of Hawai‘i has two portal websites that strive to serve all of your academic needs. However, the labyrinthine MyUH Portal and Laulima are complex in their myriad of features.

Use this guide to help you navigate the links and master your tools.

I’ve not, in the five years I have been at UH, ever had any use for this home page.

All the things you do on Laulima will be through the individual class pages.

Your professor will post important reminders and messages here. They are typically emailed directly to you but are also archived on this tab.

Some classes like to make use of Laulima’s built-in forums to facilitate class discussion and sharing.

You can also directly message your classmates here, but note that there are no email notifications when someone sends you a PM.

All the PDFs and files your professor wants to use for the course are stored here. If you are told, “The readings are on Laulima,” this is where they’ll be.

If you’re lucky, your professor will keep your grades updated and viewable here. Not many professors use this tool, however.

If you want to email your professor or your classmates, and you don’t have their direct email address, you can head to the Mailtool to contact them.

Some professors – not many, but a few – will ask that you submit assignments via Laulima’s Drop Box. You can upload your files here, and your professor can download them directly.

C H E C K C L A S S AVA I L A B I L I T Y This is a crucial tool during registration.

Follow this link to see a complete listing of all classes offered by the UH system as well as how many students are enrolled in each one.

S TA R D E G R E E C H E C K/ TRANSCRIPT STAR will show you two important things: an unofficial transcript with all your grades and a roadmap of your current academic progress. If you’re unsure how far you’ve fulfilled your graduation requirements, STAR has them all listed for you.

MY T O O L S This shows you your current class schedule. You can also find quick access to Laulima, your library account and UH email account here.

MY P RO F I L E Account settings (including password reset and automatic logouts) are here.

You can also look at what your student directory entry looks like and set your UH emergency notification settings.

UH LIFE This tab includes bookmarks to websites for all the UH system campuses as well as a SECE job search bar, carpool buddy finder and weather report.

C H E C K R E G I S T R AT I O N S TAT U S V I E W C H A RG E S/M A K E PAYM E N T This is another key page during registration season: You need to head to this page to pay your tuition online and avoid getting unregistered for non-payment.

VIEW GRADES This takes you straight to STAR, so it’s a redundant link.

VIEW HOLDS

This link will tell you what day and time you register and what overrides you have.

A D D/ D RO P C O U R S E S This is where you will enroll for classes. Be sure you pull the course registration numbers off the availability list before you jump in here.

PERSONAL ANNOUNCEMENTS

If you cannot register for some reason, head to this page and find out why. Holds can be due to library fines or unpaid student fees, so take care of the problems right away.

It sounds important, but it’s just your class schedule.

FINANCIAL AID

E V E N T C A L E N DA R

This page will break down all your financial aid information. Any scholarships you’ve won or loans you’ve received will be listed. Sometimes scholarships need to be accepted through this page before you can receive them, so it’s helpful to check at least once in a while.

Many campus and departmental events are listed here, so if you’re interested in getting involved with academic life, it’s a good place to start.

CAITLIN KURODA Senior Staff Writer You’ll be glad to know that your admission to the Universit y of Hawai‘i at M ā noa grants you access to its campus -wide wireless net work. T his will come in handy when you need to check your email bet ween classes. Follow these steps and tips to connect to and simplif y your experience with UH M ā noa’s Wi-Fi.

CONNECTING TO UH WI - FI What you need: • Laptop or any device with a wireless network adapter • Supported operating system such as Windows Vista or Mac OS • UH username and password (set up through myuh.hawaii.edu if you do not already have one)

RENZO GONZALEZ / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

What you do: 1. Turn on your laptop’s Wi-Fi (if it is not already on).

2. Select “UHM” from the available networks.

3. A n Internet window should open automatically, but if it does not, manually open your Internet browser.

4. You will automatically be taken to a login page, where you then enter your UH username and password. Once entered, your browsing session is good to go.

5. Go to hawaii.edu/askus/1037 for more clarifi cation and detailed steps if necessary.

Things to keep in mind: • The wireless network is stronger and weaker in certain places. Typically, it will work much better indoors (such as in a classroom or at Campus Center) rather than an outdoor area like McCarthy Mall.

• You are responsible (and may be held accountable) for your actions and activity while connected to the network.

• You may need to reconnect to the network every time you close your laptop or move locations, which can be a hassle.

However, you can get around this by taking advantage of UH’s wireless passthrough.

S TAY I N G C O N N E C T E D T O UH WI-FI WITH WIRELESS PA S S T H RO U G H What you need: • Wireless device’s MAC address • UH username and password • Device description

What you do: 1. Find the MAC address of your device. Go to hawaii.edu/askus/1035, which details the steps to find the MAC address on various types of phones and laptops.

2. Once you have your MAC address, go to hawaii.edu/wireless/pt, where you will need to log in with your UH username and password.

3. Add a new passthrough by entering the MAC address and selecting the type of device from the given menu list.

4. Once you click “Add,” your device will be saved, and you will no longer have to log in every time you connect to the Internet.

Things to keep in mind: • Passthrough can save up to 10 devices per username.

• Each passthrough lasts for one year, but you can easily renew it on the passthrough website.

• The website does not explain how to find the MAC address for newer devices, such as laptops running Windows 8.

Adult decisions have adult consequences: a drug primer

Marijuana, MDMA and psilocybin mushrooms are considered Schedule I drugs, meaning they have “a high potential for abuse and potentially severe psychological and/or physical dependence,” according to the Drug Enforcement Administration website.

TIM M ETR A Opinions Editor Welcome to one of the first stops on the joyride of adulthood: college. Now that you’re here, you can expect to be exposed to some form of recreational drug use.

When it’s put that way – “recreational” drugs – it makes it sound like they’re fun and awesome. The scary part is that they can feel super fun and awesome – until they’re not. You’ve all seen the Meth Project commercials, posters and billboards: Those aren’t lies. The lies are you and your friends telling yourselves things like: That can’t be you, it’ll be ok, you’re not addicted, it’s just a study aid, I don’t need to do this, it’s just to relax and so on.

Here’s a breakdown of some of the more popular recreational drugs you’ll encounter.

M A R I J UA N A The high Smoking pot for most people has a relaxing effect. Everything is funnier, food is extra delicious and you feel like your brain is wrapped in cotton. Some people claim that it makes them more creative.

Short-term effects Short-term memory impairment, paranoia, anxiety, dry mouth, bloodshot eyes, impaired driving ability Long-term consequences It has been suggested that longterm marijuana use can lead to memory impairment and the development of incipient mental disorders such as schizophrenia or depression.

A D D E R A L L A N D R I TA L I N These two drugs are safe if taken under a doctor’s supervision. A lot of students will fake ADHD symptoms to receive a prescription. If you take these drugs and get hopped up, you don’t need them. If you actually had ADHD, they wouldn’t get you “high.”

The high They don’t have the same sort of pleasurable “high” as other drugs; they’re mostly abused as study aids.

They’re used outside of prescrip-

tions to stay awake longer and become more focused.

Short-term effects Psychosis, suicidal ideation, anxiety, insomnia, dry mouth, dizziness, nervousness, tiredness, headaches, weight loss, diarrhea, hair loss, chest pain, decreased sex drive, rashes, nausea, irritability, mania, stunted growth Long-term consequences Amphetamine psychosis; there is also data that indicates impairment of cardiovascular function.

M DM A (E C S TA S Y ) This drug is one of the most insidious. Because ecstasy is illegal worldwide, its purity is notoriously questionable. Quite often, it’s not even MDMA you’re taking. While a single dose of ecstasy probably won’t kill you, a single dose of something that you think is ecstasy could easily land you in the hospital, especially if you’re drinking on top of it. This problem is compounded because MDMA is easier to overdose upon than other drugs.

The high Extreme sense of well-being, mild visual hallucinations, increased

sensuality, euphoria Short-term effects Anxiety, paranoia, depression, impaired focus, dizziness/vertigo, diarrhea/constipation, insomnia, exhaustion, memory impairment to the point of amnesia, convulsions, irregular blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, cardiovascular problems including cardiac arrest, hemorrhage or stroke, organ failure including liver and kidneys, coma, death Long-term consequences Depression, anxiety, verbal memory impairment, serotonergic damage

P S I L O C Y B I N MU S H RO OM S Psilocybin mushrooms aren’t toxic enough to kill you simply from ingestion. The danger with “shrooms” is more psychological in nature.

The high Euphoria, subjective timelessness, visual hallucinations, synesthesia, spiritual/mystic connectedness/empathy Short-term effects Anxiety, paranoia, suicidal thoughts, urges and actions, homicidal thoughts, psychosis, depression Long-term consequences Long-term personality changes, depression

Drinking with friends and getting really drunk is often seen as a rite of passage, but it can be detrimental without some foresight.

Here are a few things to keep in mind so you don’t end up slumped on the fl oor or sick and acquainted with a toilet.

W H AT D O E S A L C O H O L D O? Alcohol gets absorbed in the bloodstream and eventually affects cognitive abilities – coordination, attention, memory, emotions and behavior – and these determine blood alcohol concentration.

The personalities of your friends may undergo a transformation – more friendly, agressive or unintelligible – and alcohol consumption can result in everything from euphoria and excitement to confusion, stupor, unconsciousness and death.

Common side effects include exhaustion, loss of balance or vision, dizziness,

Think before you drink slurred speech and nausea.

H OW MU C H I S I N W H AT ?

Different drinks contain alcohol percentages by volume: beer, 3-10 percent; wine, 8-14 percent; spirits, 20-70 percent. According to the Mānoa Alcohol Project, one standard drink equals a 1.5-ounce shot of 80-proof liquor, 5 ounces of wine or 12 ounces of beer.

The recommended medical limits for alcohol for men are no more than four standard drinks in a day and no more than three for women.

ALCOHOL POISONING Alcohol poisoning is caused by excessive consumption and can be fatal. Critical signs include slow or irregular breathing, hypothermia, seizures, vomiting and mental confusion.

Address the problem as soon as you notice any of these symptoms in a friend, and take care of the ones that are worst off to prevent any danger. This will prevent a trip to the hospital and possibly save someone’s life.

S L OW A N D S T E A DY Drink in moderation, and set a limit for yourself. This is particularly diffi cult in peer pressure situations (you may feel compelled to keep up with your friends or attempt to outdrink the competition), but you need to know your limits.

Pace yourself: Rapid consumption disrupts your body’s metabolic rate and leads to a higher blood alcohol concentration.

RU N N I N G O N E M P T Y Do not drink on an empty stomach. Eat before you have your fi rst drink because food will slow down the absorption rate of alcohol. Snack while you drink, but don’t eat too much because this is how you gain weight. Plus, you don’t want to see it all again in the event that you greet your refl ection in toilet water.

DIFFFERENT DRINKS Beer before liquor, never been sicker?

However the saying goes, moderate the

time between taking shots or other drinks.

Drinking a variety of liquors with differing alcohol content by volume will have compounding effects on your body and intoxicate you more quickly.

WAT E R Hydrate yourself: Water will dilute the alcohol in your body. It’s good to have a non-alcoholic beverage in between drinks, and since you will get thirsty, don’t drink more alcohol to remedy your body’s cry for water. Avoid malicious friends who may give you vodka instead.

Govinda’s This vegetarian vendor is all-natural and often organic. Plates with curry or eggless quiche rotate in their Indian-inspired menu. There are only two entrée options per day. The staff is very friendly.

L&L Hawaiian Barbecue Try chicken katsu, teriyaki chicken, loco moco and other local foods here.

Its plate lunches are massive: Get the mini size unless you’re starving.

Location: Paradise Palms and Stan Sheriff Center Accepts: Cash, credit card

Laverne’s Lunch Wagon This all-Hawaiian food truck has lau lau, adobo and other plate lunches for sale. The only poi, haupia and li hing pineapple you can find on campus are here.

K IRSTIE CAMPBELL Contributing Writer The University of Hawai‘i at M ā noa hosts a large variety of independent food vendors in addition to its cafeteria and inhouse options. No matter what kind of food you may be craving, you can fi nd it on campus. So many choices can be overwhelming, so use Ka Leo’s guide to get the lowdown on where you can fi nd the best eats.

UH Manoa Manual

Meal plan breakdown K IRSTIE CAMPBELL Contributing Writer The many meal plans offered by the university make dining decisions a little confusing. This guide outlines the basics of university dorm dining.

Dining plans are comprised of set numbers of meal swipes per week and a set number of Dining Dollars given to students per semester. Meal swipes are equivalent to one meal at Hale Aloha or Gateway House cafeterias or $5 at select campus locations like the Campus Center Food Court. Meals expire weekly, but points last until the end of the year and serve as cash.

PRIME Amount: 19 meal swipes, $100 in Dining Dollars Cost: $2,250 (Fall 2013) Pros: Three meals per weekday, with brunch and dinner on weekends.

Great for big eaters.

Cons: Expensive. Many students don’t have time to eat three meals per day, and meal swipes often go to waste.

Best for: Out-of-state students

CHOICE

A sampling of Hale Aloha dining options reveals the variety offered by the cafeterias. For more information about meal plans, go to uhmdining. com/plans.

ISMAEL MA KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Amount: 14 meal swipes, $175 in Dining Dollars Cost: $1,950 (Fall 2013) Pros: Students will always have two meals and some extra points to pick up retail food.

Cons: Lunch is on you. Plus, with most retail restaurants closed on weekends, you’re stuck at the Market or the cafeteria.

Best for: Those who stay on campus on the weekend

SELECT Amount: 10 meal swipes; $225 in Dining Dollars Cost: $1,700 (Fall 2013) Pros: This is the default plan for incoming dorm residents. It’s the best value, with a large number of points, while still offering sufficient meal swipe options.

Cons: Balancing out meals to include weekends is a hassle.

Best for: Those who go home on weekends

BA S I C

Amount: Seven meal swipes; $250 in Dining Dollars Cost: $1,445 (Fall 2013) Pros: The points will pay for extra food, while the meal swipes will still guarantee you a satisfying meal on campus.

Cons: Students who don’t shop or budget their meal points for an entire year will be hungry with one meal per day.

Best for: Those who eat a lot on weekdays

DINING DOLLARS

Amount: Any value Cost: Any amount Pros: Purchase only the Dining Dollars you’ll need. Get a fi ve percent bonus for $25 and up, and a 10 percent bonus for $75 and up.

Cons: Points are not refunded in cash. If you need fewer points than you buy, you’re better off paying cash for your meals.

Best for: Off-campus residents or those who run out of meal points.

A PA R TM E N T C L U B

Amount: 50 meal swipes per semester; $75 in Dining Dollars Cost: $615 (Fall 2013) Pros: Unlike other plans, these meals can be spread out through the entire semester and saved for emergencies.

Cons: It’s hard to budget 50 meals throughout a year. This plan also has the least amount of points.

Best for: Off-campus and apartment residents

RESIDENT DINING CLUB

Amount: One free meal per fi ve purchased Cost: No entry fee Pros: Purchase fi ve meals in cash at either Hale Aloha or Gateway Café, and get one free. As meals vary in price, you could purchase fi ve inexpensive breakfasts and earn a free dinner.

Cons: Five meals range in cost from $37 to $52. If you plan to purchase food regularly, consider a different plan.

Best for: Off-campus and apartment residents

CURRY HOUSE COCO ICHIBANYA

With a variety of rice portions, spice levels and toppings to choose from, this place is a student favorite. Curry House’s Japanese-style curry is smooth and full of flavor.

However, because of its huge selection of toppings, it’s tempting to experiment and mix different kinds, and some might not blend well together (or with your tastebuds).

Katsu and gyoza toppings are standouts, but if you lean more on the healthier side, spinach and mixed vegetables are also delicious. If rice isn’t your thing, Curry House also serves curry udon and side salads.

Price-wise, Curry House is affordable for the everyday college student and worth the money you pay. Fair warning: They do not take credit cards here, so remember to bring cash.

ALL PHOTOS BY PAIGE TAKEYA / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

1009 University Ave., Room 2 808-947-2206 Mon-Sat 11 a.m.-9 p.m.

If you like Taiwanese-style hotpot, then this place is for you. Sweet Home Café offers a variety of broths, meats, vegetables and sauces for hungry diners to try. While it is not as cheap as other restaurants, this hotpot venue becomes cost-effective when you dine in with a larger group of friends.

Sweet Home’s House Special broth is especially good with an order of beef and mixed vegetables with their spicier dipping sauces. But what completes the dinner is the free shave ice (a mixed variety of pudding, tapioca and jello over shave ice) served after the meal.

The only downside to this restaurant is that it’s BYOB, and there is usually a long wait. However, given the quality of the food, it’s worth it.

GRYLT

Keen on eating something different while still staying relatively close to campus? The University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa is located in the heart of the Honolulu dining scene.

Here are four places that you should try during your college career.

SWEET HOME CAFÉ

2764-A Woodlawn Drive 808-988-7832 Mon-Sat 10 a.m.-9 p.m.; Sun 10 a.m.-8 p.m.

If you enjoy a good steak plate, GRY LT offers a variety of grilled meats, starches, sides and sauces to help you create your own platter. It also offers other items such as salads and sandwiches, but for those who like to stack up on meat, GRY LT’s “double your protein” option is available for an additional cost.

The meats range from steak, chicken, ahi and other seafood and tofu for vegetarians. GRYLT’s Angus steak is usually a best seller. Plate lunches are pricey and so are the sandwiches, but the portions will defi nitely fi ll you up.

BUBBIES HOMEMADE ICE CREAM & DESSERTS 1010 University Ave. Phone: 808-949-8984 Mon-Thu 12 p.m.-12 a.m.; Fri-Sat 12 p.m.-1 a.m.; Sun 12 p.m.-11:30 p.m.

While the idea of ice cream inside mochi, a Japanese sweet rice confection, may sound a little strange, it tastes anything but. Famous for this specialty as well as its decadent ice cream cakes, Bubbies is the go-to place for those who want to satisfy their sweet tooth and try something new.

Bubbies’ mochi ice cream f lavors range from the classic vanilla and strawberry to more exotic f lavors such as green tea and azuki bean. Bubbies’ quirkily named sundaes, pies and desserts (such as Maybe the Bag Broke, Bite Me and Hair by Daniel) may entice an adventurous buyer. While prices vary depending on the order and lines can get long in the evening, its ice cream is definitely worth it.

Fair warning: Bubbies’ is also cash-only.

As a mainland chain, Safeway usually stocks non-local brands, but it is consistent in what it offers from store to store. This, however, means that it is more expensive than Foodland, generally speaking. This particular Safeway has an impressively large prepared food section and a Starbucks, so it is a one-stop market should you choose it.

Less of a market and more of a convenience store, The Market should not be your fi rst choice for groceries. Though it may be close, you pay for the distance reduction with a price hike.

WELCOME ASUH

KA LEO

Hello new students, Welcome to the University of Hawai‘i at M ā noa!

You may have watched every movie and read every book or manual about college you could find, but nothing has fully prepared you for the journey which you are about to embark on.

I hope that you keep an open mind as you start a new chapter in your life. Remember that everyone around you is different. People have grown up all around the world, have different goals and want to share what they know with others. Keeping an open mind will allow you to see things from a new perspective and enjoy what UH M ā noa has to offer.

Provided that you study hard and show that you are driven, you will see many opportunities arise. Seize those opportunities, whether it be leading a club or taking classes abroad. You don’t want to sit in your cap and gown on graduation day regretting all the things that you could have done.

Don’t forget to have fun. You will meet new people, try new food and get exposed to new cultures. You are about to make memories that will last a lifetime, so make them happy memories.

Everyone has different interests, and the great thing about UH M ā noa is that there is a community, club or program you will fit into. I found my niche at Ka Leo O Hawai‘i, the student newspaper of UH M ā noa. People may think that the student newspaper is all about writing, but it is more than that. We have designers, ad representatives, web developers and more. If you feel that Ka Leo could be the right fit for you too, don’t hesitate to meet the staff at Hemenway 107. You can pick up an application in person or download one online at kaleo.org/jobs.

Remember to keep your mind open, seize opportunities, have fun– and don’t forget to do your homework.

Letter from the ASUH president

_

UH MANOA Aloha and welcome to the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa! This Ka Leo New Student Orientation Guide celebrates your first day of classes of the fall 2013 semester.

You are beginning the journey to explore, discover and appreciate your second home at UH Mānoa.

As you’ll learn from this NSO Guide, we are the most unique universit y campus in the world. Situated in the middle of the vibrant Asia-Pacif ic region, UH Mānoa’s geographic position bridges the U.S. mainland and Far East. Our location results in an impres sively diverse ethnic population of students, facult y and staf f. T hey – along with family, friends, alumni and supporters – all become part of a larger UH Mānoa ‘ohana ( Hawaiian for “ family”).

One of my core messages as chancellor is the importance of creating a transformational environment for learning. I want you to discover your own academic passions while being thoroughly immersed in the “Mānoa Experience,” one that is ref lected back upon with great fondness and aloha.

Stay informed and keep up-to-date on events, news and important happenings on campus by reading Ka Leo and regularly checking our home page at manoa.hawaii. edu. Follow us on Facebook at facebook.com/uhmanoa and Twitter at twitter.com/uhmanoanews.

We’re glad that you’re here!

Aloha, Tom Apple Chancellor University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa tapple@hawaii.edu

Sincerely, Bianca Bystrom Pino Interim Editor in Chief ALL PHOTOS BY KENT NISHIMURA / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Aloha! Welcome to the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, the flagship campus of the 10-campus University of Hawai‘i system. My name is Richard Mizusawa, and I serve as your Presidentt of the Associated Students of the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa 101st Senate.

On behalf of the undergraduate students of our university, I would like to congratulate you on taking the first steps of your college life by attending New Student Orientation. During NSO, you will learn about the different resources and opportunities you have as a new student to the Mānoa campus. There are countless ways to get involved with your university, and I encourage you to get involved in anything that interests you personally or academically. NSO opened many doors for me when I was a freshman, and it can and will do the same for you.

As a brief introduction, ASUH is your student government representing more than 14,000 full-time, classified undergraduate students. ASUH strives to serve students by providing scholarships, funding student organizations and advocating for students’ interests. We want you to know about the various services we offer and that your student government is here for you.

The Senate is in its 101st year of serving the student body and will continue to advocate on your behalf and have many upcoming events and happenings this year for you.

ASUH will be planning campus-wide events such as the Homecoming Fair and Mardi Gras, but we are also dedicated to advocating current student issues. If you ever feel strongly about anything regarding our campus, do not be afraid to come by our office and let your voice be heard.

Again, I encourage you to take advantage of any opportunities that come your way as a new student of UH Mānoa – this is not only a Hawaiian place of learning, but also a place to fi nd yourself as you take part in the “Mānoa Experience.” This wonderful place is where I have found what I am passionate about, and I am confident that it will do the same for you. Have a wonderful freshman year and start to your collegiate career at our university.

Mahalo, Richard Mizusawa President, 101st Senate Associated Students of the University of Hawai‘i at M ā noa

Stay safe, stay aware JACKIE PERREIR A Features Editor

NIK SEU/ KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

What is Campus Security?

Whenever I tell people that my father is a police offi cer, the fi rst thing they ask is, “Is he strict?” He isn’t – but since he has more than 20 years of experience under his belt, I’ve chosen to take his advice on safety.

He says it comes down to being aware at all times. Here are some common situations where you can increase your awareness.

W H I L E WA L K I N G

PAIGE TAKEYA Special Issues Editor Campus Security is the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s 24-hour on-campus law enforcement. You’ll come to recognize their distinctive green lights and uniforms as you spend time at UH Mānoa.

Led by Captain Alberta Pukahi, CS handles theft and vandalism cases, trespassers and any other dangers you might encounter while at school. If something happens, CS is the first group on the scene.

They also run an escort service to help you get safely to your car, should you feel unsafe about walking in the dark. Sixtyeight emergency call boxes scattered around campus will connect you with CS if you find yourself in a pinch. These stations are marked with a blue light and red phone box. Pressing the call button will connect you to CS directly.

You can also sign up for UH emergency alerts directly to your email and phone via MyUH portal to be warned about campus crime and other island disasters (see page 24).

While CS is a valuable on-campus resource, don’t forget that you can always call 911 if the situation demands it. CS will work in tandem with law enforcement to keep you safe.

HOW TO CONTACT CS:

956-6911 956-7233 DIRECT LINE

ESCORT SERVICE

This may seem obvious, but a lot of us text, talk or listen to music while walking. If you can’t refrain from any of that while you’re en route, at least look up every so often. Don’t let it distract you from your surroundings.

It’s also smart to walk with a friend. You’re less likely to be approached when you’re with someone or a group of people. The more, the merrier.

W H E N YO U G E T T O YO U R VEHICLE Oftentimes, people who are just sitting in their car (often checking their phones) in a parking structure are the ones who are targeted for mugging or theft. Get in your car and leave the structure as soon as you can.

Glance around/under your car before getting in. This is not to say you need to get on your hands and knees with a flashlight to make sure no one’s hiding under there, but look when you’re still far enough away from your car to see under it without bending down.

AT YO U R D O R M Be mindful of who you enter the building with/who you open the door for. It’s difficult to determine who does and doesn’t live in your building, but a simple question may make it easier if you’re

SACHI KASAHARA/ KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

someone who is polite and holds doors open for people.

Casually ask, “Do you have a key?” If they live there, they’ll most likely have a key in hand already or will be able to show it to you quickly. If they’re visiting someone, your question will probably make them wait for whomever they’re visiting to come down – which is how it’s supposed to work anyway.

IN CLASS If we’re in a rush or feeling tired, it’s easy to plop down in class and devote all our attention to our laptops (whether it be to take notes or browse Pinterest).

Before you do, though, make sure to zip up your bag and keep it where you can see it, like at your feet, and look down at it every now and then. This makes it easier to keep track of your belongings and avoid theft.

Since you’re probably not the only one in class, be cautious of what you do on your laptop. If you’re chatting with friends on iMessage or looking at any sort of NSFW content (or NSFC in this case), people next to you or behind you only have to glance over to see everything you’re doing. Maintain your privacy by waiting until after class.

These tips are not meant to make you paranoid – there’s no need to look over your shoulder during every minute you spend on campus.

Instead, they should serve as reminders that being even a little more aware can greatly increase your safety.

If you feel at all unsafe while on campus, don’t hesitate to ask for help. Call Campus Security or a friend. Your awareness wil go to waste if you don’t act on it.

University Health Services Colds, sprained ankles and other ailments seem to flourish at school, and even college students are not immune to illness.

If you are visited with a nasty bug or injury, be sure to go to University Health Services. Here are a few easy steps on how to get help when you need it.

If you’re uninsured, have no fear. HMSA offers the University Student plan, under which all University of Hawai‘i students can purchase individual insurance.

Plans start with basic medical ($1,011.76 in fall 2012), but drug and dental options can be added for a few hundred dollars. Apply

by Sept. 17 for fall coverage. Go to hmsa.com/portal/?gid=student to learn more about your options.

1. R E G I S T R AT I O N

3. C OM I N G I N

Incoming students receive a letter in their acceptance packet that includes a health clearance form. This form states that you have obtained all required vaccinations and shots, and it ideally should be turned in by July 15 (go to hawaii.edu/myuh/healthform if you need a new one).

Submitting this form via fax or mail (but not email) is what will allow you to register for classes and get future treatment at UHS.

Fee-paying students of the UH system and UH Mānoa faculty are welcome at UHS. Please note that if you’re coming from another campus, you will need to pay a little more for your fi rst two visits.

Students seeking relief for colds and other minor illnesses will want to take advantage of the clinic’s walk-in appointments, for which medicine and a doctor’s note for missing class are available. You should also come during office hours if more serious illnesses such as food poisoning, cramps or allergies occur.

Women’s services are also available here. UHS offers emergency contraception, Pap smears and pregnancy tests. Nutritionists, dermatologists and a sports medicine specialist are available for consultation. Psychiatrists also assist on Mondays and Tues-

days, though other counseling issues can be discussed at the Counseling and Student Development Center (QLCSS 312). These specialized services are by appointment only.

4 . T R E ATM E N T Over-the-counter medicine is available at UHS for a small fee. Other drugs can be prescribed by a doctor and obtained either here or at Longs for a fee, as the UHS pharmacy does not accept drug insurance.

You can also get general vaccinations, from tuberculosis to travel vaccinations.

UHS is an excellent place with plenty of resources. Hospitals are further away when illness strikes, so take a walk to UHS and check out the clinic if you fi nd yourself in need. Missing class without a doctor’s note when you are legitimately sick and suffering will otherwise just add insult to injury.

WALK-IN CLINIC Location: Next to Kennedy Theatre Hours: Mon-Tues, Thurs-Fri 8:30 a.m.-12 p.m., 12:30 p.m.-4:30 p.m.; Wed 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m., 1:30 p.m.-4:30 p.m.

How to avoid the Freshman 15 BIANCA B YSTROM PINO Interim Editor in Chief No one wants to succumb to the Freshman 15 – the traditional weight gain that hits most students when they enter college.

But it is easier said than done to maintain your weight when you have school and your social life to worry about. Here are a few simple ways to avoid packing on the extra pounds.

You may be tr ying to save money, but it doesn’t pay off to be cheap when it comes to food.

If you fuel yourself with quality food, it will give you the boost you need to do well in school and provide you with enough energy for the gym.

In the long run, cheap meals will catch up to you via a hef t y medical bill.

D O H AV E A F I T N E S S PA R T N E R

D O N ʼ T K E E P S N AC K S T O O CLOSE

If you have someone that is also trying to avoid the Freshman 15, you two can keep each other in check. At the beginning of the year, you should agree on a schedule that determines when you will work out, when you will eat and what you will stay away from.

W hen picking your buddy, remember to pick someone that is motivated but also on a similar page as you.

T H I N G S T O T H I N K A B O U T: Meals: It’s important for you two to pre-plan your meals when you intend to eat together. It will prevent you from getting to the dining hall and picking up things you don’t need.

Water: Buy a reusable water bottle and vow to drink at least two liters a day. Drinking water helps to energize your muscles and will keep your skin looking good.

NICHOLAS SMITH / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

D O S P L U RG E O N H E A LT H Y FOOD

Workout: Before going to the gym, plan out which exercises you will be doing and what machines you will be using. Have your partner push you to complete your exercises, and do the same for him or her.

It’s harder to say no to tempting treats when they are close by.

Keeping candy, chips or cookies in your dorm room will make it harder to say no.

Invest in healthy snacks like fruits or whole-grain bread. This way, if you do get hungry for a snack, you won’t damage your diet.

D O M I X U P YO U R WO R KO U T RO U T I N E

If you are not a fan of fitness centers, there are other places where you can work out. Make your dorm room a private gym.

Using your own body weight, you can do a variety of strengthening exercises.

For example, you can stand against the wall with your feet about a foot or two from it. Slide your back down the wall until your thighs are parallel with floor. Contract your abs and extend your arms overhead. Complete three sets of 25 reps three times a week.

If you can’t fit that in, you can work out on campus without people knowing. Once a day, use the stairs to get to your dorm room. Eventually, when the climb gets easy, start taking two or three steps at a time.

‘Ua Mau ke Ea o ka ‘Ā ‘Āina i ka Pono ‘IOLANI A NTONIO Staff Writer If you’ve just arrived in Hawai‘i, it should take you little time to fi nd that aloha ‘āina, the value that is the essence of Hawai‘i, is imbued in Hawai‘i’s state motto: “‘Ua Mau ke Ea o ka ‘Āina i ka Pono,” which is translated as, “The Life of the Land is Preserved in Righteousness.”

The reason that this value is so signifi cant for Hawaiians can be traced back to the beginning of Hawaiian history.

Kumulipo is the traditional Hawaiian creation chant that explains the origin of life. All life forms and creatures of the sky, ocean and land come from the same source. A miniscule piece of coral and a bird soaring in the

sky share the same origin as the tallest tree and mankind as well.

Because we Hawaiians believe that all life comes from the same place, we have a strong connection to the natural world.

Many of the key values of Hawaiian culture grow out of the foundation of aloha ‘āina.

Aloha ‘āina means “love of the land.” Here, not only does ‘āina signify the land herself, but the earth in its entirety, which includes the ocean and sky as well.

To love the land means to nurture and nourish her just as she nurtures and nourishes us.

Hawaiians inherently believe that we have a kuleana (responsibility) to mālama (care for) the ‘āina. Hawaiians of old realized that the ‘āina and the creatures who inhabit the earth are not

here for the taking, but rather, that existing in a pono (harmonious, balanced and reciprocal) relationship with nature was crucial to fl ourishing as a people. Hawaiians understood that life fl owed smoothly if all living things worked together (laulima) to kōkua kekahi i kekahi (help out one another).

G E T I N VO LV E D For recent transplants to Hawai‘i, and even for those who have grown up in the islands, there are ways to get involved and feel more connected to Hawaiian culture.

Every fi rst Saturday of the month, people volunteer to spend a few hours maintaining the taro patches, meeting new people and

practicing their ‘ōlelo Hawai‘i at Ka Papa Lo‘i O Kānewai, which is a part of the Hawai‘inuiākea School for Hawaiian Knowledge.

There are also a few clubs and organizations on campus that work with and learn from nature.

Consider joining one of the many community hiking groups that help to preserve trails and native wildlife – or gather a bunch of friends together and start your own.

Think about checking out a copy of “Place Names of Hawai‘i” from one of the libraries on campus for a better understanding of the meanings behind names of areas, not only on O‘ahu, but around the rest of the island chain as well.

The simplest way to be connected is to get out there and aloha the ‘āina. Head down to

the beach, swim with the fi sh and enjoy the feel of sun on your face and sand between your toes.

Mālama ‘āina and pick up any ‘ōpala (trash) you might come across. Head up to the valleys for a hike, get caught in the rain, laugh and dance.

Kōkua and beautify the ‘āina as much as possible. It’s always best to leave the area in better condition than it was when you found it.

Most importantly, be thankful that you live in Hawai‘i.

UH Manoa Manual A QUICK PIDGIN PRIMER K IRSTIE CAMPBELL Contributing Writer “Local kine” words are part of Hawaiian Creole English, more popularly called Pidgin. This unique language may be bewildering to newcomers, but don’t worry – you’ll soon be able to follow the conversation. This handy guide will help you understand a few basic words.

AR ARE Defi nition This salty brown rice snack, also known as kakimochi, is eaten plain or with popcorn. Small and crunchy, it will keep well in your dorm room.

Example “Arare is on sale at Longs – get some for your friends on the Mainland.”

BR AH Defi nition Literally “brother,” this is a friendly term of address.

Example “Ey, brah, what’s up?”

BUMBAI Defi nition Meaning “eventually” and “some time,” this is occasionally associated with “or else.” Some people associate this with bachi, a karmic concept.

Example “No turning your back on the ocean, bumbai wave gets you!”

CHOKE Defi nition This is easily interchanged with “a lot,” “many” or “much.” This may also be substituted for “plenny kine” if needed.

Example “He got choke food there!”

“Yeah, plenny kine.”

DA KINE Defi nition This literally means “that kind.”

“Da kine” is a catch-all phrase for when you can’t think of the word you want or when the topic is mutually understood. “Kine” is often substituted for “kind” or used in conjunction with “local kine,” mean-

ing anything done Hawaiian style.

Example “I picked up da kine yesterday, but it was small kine – not worth it.”

GRINDZ Defi nition This word for “food” is associated with casual eating and hanging out with friends. It sounds almost exactly like “grinds,” making it an easier Pidgin word to pronounce.

Example “How ‘bout we go get some grindz after the beach?”

HAPA Defi nition Literally “half,” this typically refers to race or gender. People with half-Caucasian blood are thus termed hapa haole, or halfwhite/foreigner.

Example “Since you’re half Scottish and half Chinese, you’re hapa haole.”

MAINL AND Defi nition This refers to the continental United States and usually includes Alaska. A person from the mainland is a “Mainlander,” regardless of his or her state of origin.

Example “I’m from the mainland, but Hawai‘i is really cool.”

SHAK A Defi nition Use this easy hand-wave to mark yourself as a local. Stick out your thumb and pinky, swivel and smile.

One origin theory attributes it to Hamana Kalihi, who always cheerfully waved at Kahuku Sugar Trains on duty at work after his middle three fi ngers were cut off.

Example “Photo time! Everyone look here and shaka!”

SHOOTS Defi nition This is a cheerful way of saying “Sure, all right” or “I understand” to requests. It can also mean “That’s good” in conversation.

Use this to end a conversation.

Example “Hold these for me?”

“Shoots.”

Understanding local culture and customs BRINGING FOOD

D R E S S I N G D OW N

Hawai‘i is a unique place in terms of its history, landscapes, food and people. As such, it’s developed a distinct local culture, filled with customs and unspoken rules of etiquette that can both fascinate and puzzle a newcomer to the state.

Take note of these common local practices to save yourself the confusion and look like a local.

Another thing to keep in mind when you visit someone’s home is that it is polite to bring a gift with you. An offering of food is most common, and something homemade will show the greatest sincerity, but anything is appreciated.

If you’re stuck and can’t think of what to bring, try Leonard’s malasadas or cream puffs from Liliha Bakery – your host will love it, and they’ll offer you some as well.

Hawai‘i attire is generally more casual than in other states or countries. Slippers (not fl ip flops) are acceptable footwear for both men and women, and the weather allows for spring and summer clothes almost year-round.

Even in the bustling streets of downtown Honolulu, business casual (no suit) is the staple attire of most businesspeople, and a conservative aloha shirt is acceptable for businessmen.

R E MOV I N G S H O E S

GIVING LEIS

CAITLIN KURODA Senior Staff Writer

When you enter someone’s abode, whether it be a house, apartment or dorm room, it is normal to take off your footwear and leave it outside or in a designated area near the entrance. This practice comes from Asia and is said to promote good health (walking barefoot can be good for you) while keeping the carpet or floor free of outside dirt.

Keep your footwear on in hotel rooms, though, as most visitors do not follow this custom.

Leis make a regular appearance at celebratory occasions, from graduation ceremonies and birthday parties to bridal showers and Mother’s Day brunches.

These garlands adorn a person’s shoulders and honor the recipient.

Traditionally, leis are made of fresh flowers but have expanded to include ribbon, candy and even money. When giving a lei, a fresh flower lei or a homemade lei is best. When receiving a lei, accept it with a hug.

RESPECTING OTHERS

Even if you forget the other rules listed above, the most important thing to remember is respect.

Hawai‘i is a melting pot of different people and their cultures, and all of these cultures have some kind of influence on the practices here. Being open to these practices and respecting them and the people who follow them is the best way to learn the ways of the locals and become a part of this island community.

Whether you’re new to Hawai‘i or just interested in getting off campus and out of the house, there are plenty of things to do on O‘ahu besides going to the beach. Here are seven suggestions to consider the next time you fi nd yourself bored and with time to spare.

1

ALOHA STADIUM SWAP MEET

Description: A smorgasboard of more than 400 vendors that gather at Aloha Stadium to hock their wares. Aside from the usual heavily discounted clothing and merchandise, you can also find unique art and other ethnic and local goods.

Hours: Wed, Sat 8 a.m.-3p.m.; Sun 6:30 a.m. -3 p.m.

Cost: $1 admission Address: 99-500 Salt Lake Blvd.

Transit time (from UH): 20 minutes by car or one hour by bus (Route A) Contact: 808-486-6704 or alohastadiumswapmeet.net/index.asp Local take: You’ll feel like a sardine slowly roasting in the sun, but you can find a lot of gems if you take the time to look. Given its vast size, it will take you all day to explore the swap meet thoroughly.

ISMAEL MA / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

2 TANTALUS AND ROUND TOP DRIVE Description: If you have time and plenty of gas money, driving (or jogging) along Tantalus should be on your to-do list. The twisting curves, lush greenery and sweeping views are both a testament to your driving ability and the grandeur of Hawai‘i.

Hours: 24/7 Cost: Free Address: Tantalus Dr. Transit time: 15 minutes by car or one hour by bus (Routes 4 and 15) Contact: None Local take: If you’re not the one driving, Tantalus is fun and laced with a hint of danger when you catch a glimpse of the dropoff. If you are driving, your full energy will be devoted to navigating the twisty turns, and you won’t be enjoying much of the sights.

4 HONOLULU MUSEUM OF ART

JESSICA SWENSON / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

VOLCANIC ROCK GYM

Description: If you like hiking and climbing but would rather avoid risking your life on one of Hawai‘i’s more treacherous hiking trails, Volcanic Rock Gym offers a safer indoor alternative. It’s also an excellent place for beginners to get used to climbing before hitting the real trails.

Hours: Mon-Sun 12 p.m.-10 p.m.

Cost: $15 for a daily pass ($3 for shoe rental) Address: 432 Keawe St. Transit time: 10 minutes by car or 35 minutes by bus (Route 6) Contact: 808-397-0095 or volcanicrockgym.blogspot.com 7 Local take: The experience is unique enough to warrant the price, but in Hawai‘i, avoiding outdoor hiking seems counterintuitive. If you’re worried about getting hurt on a real hike, stopping here first seems wise.

Description: If you want to demonstrate your cultural prowess, the Honolulu Museum of Art should be your first stop. In addition to a substantial collection of both Asian and European art, the museum also hosts the Doris Duke Theatre (which shows indie films) and the Pavilion Cafe.

Hours: Tues-Fri 10 a.m.-4:30 p.m.; Sat 10 a.m.-3:30 p.m.; Sun 1 p.m.-5 p.m.

Cost: $10 Address: 900 S. Beretania St. Transit time: 10 minutes by car or 30 minutes by bus (Route 4) Contact: 808-532-8700 or honolulumuseum.org Local take: If you want to visit a local art museum, this venue has by far the most impressive collection on the island. Its variety of programs and activities aside from art viewing make it good for repeat visits.

HAWAIIAN BRIAN’S

2 3 5 4 6

Description: If you like playing billiards, Hawaiian Brian’s is cheap and located conveniently close to UH Mānoa. This venue also plays host to concerts by local performers and a bar.

Hours: Mon-Sun 10 a.m.-2 a.m.

Cost: Varies, can be as low as $1 per game Address: 1680 Kapi‘olani Blvd.

Transit time: 10 minutes by car or 20 minutes by bus (Route A) Contact: 808-946-1343 or hawaiianbrians.com Local take: The billiards and other offerings are solid, but the venue itself is a bit rundown and grungy. If you don’t mind the atmosphere, it’s affordable and a good place to socialize with friends.

‘IOLANI PALACE Description: The only official royal residence in the United States, ‘Iolani Palace was once occupied by the Kalākaua dynasty of the former Hawaiian Kingdom. The king’s one-time home has since been turned into a museum that commemorates his glory days.

Dressing like a college student COMPILED

BY

High school prepares the average student for college in many ways, but there are some aspects that get lost in the transition. After all, teachers don’t talk about the fashion changes one endures from high school to university. Here are a few easy tips and looks for new students to try.

SAMANTHA BAUMGARTNER Staff Writer

1. Know the weather before heading out the door. Mānoa is known for its sporadic rain, and this can cause you discomfort if you’re unprepared.

Always have an umbrella or hooded sweatshirt available or on hand.

Rain boots or closed-toe shoes are widely seen on rainy days.

3. Campus is not a runway, but if you insist on making a fashion statement wherever you go, make sure to keep the last tip in mind. A mini-dress and wedges for women will keep you stylish and comfortable; for men, boat shoes with a collared shirt and khakis will keep all eyes on you.

2. Dress comfortably. It is usually humid and hot on campus, so the go-to outfit for students is a Tshirt and pair of shorts and sandals.

Make sure to wear sunglasses too, as Mānoa is bright.

Do you like clothes? Are you intent on looking your best all the time? Ka Leo provides weekly fashion tips and trend insight in print or on kaleo.org.

When you walk through the market, you’ll see people of all ages engulfing themselves with creativity and originality. Bookstores, coffee shops, and a large warehouse are open to the public so that one can explore the vendors and art. There is no entrance fee, which is great for those who want to explore but not spend. Live music performances can be heard while you dance around, lounge on curvy benches set up on a platform of fake grass or chairs and tables set up by the food.

To really understand the Honolulu Night Market you have to go and see it for yourself. There are constant additions of art and food to the market, as well as events and music headliners. It is a perfect place to hang out and explore the newest and latest events with a trendy crowd.

07 The Honolulu Night Market is one of the liveliest, most expressive street fairs in Honolulu. Every third Saturday artists, musicians, foodies and artisans alike come out to display their work and encompass visitors with creativity and inspiration.

Visitors can expect to see vendors selling their creative pieces, from jewelry and art to clothing and food.

Top restaurants from all over the island set up booths to satisfy your evening munchies and spike your interest in new and evolving menus.

One can expect to see a plethora of cuisines and foods.

The art at the Honolulu Night Market is expressive and passionate.

When I went to the market in February, I saw small exhibits, people painting on the streets and even a trailer decked out in the beautiful images and colors. Street performers could be spotted all over as were stations set up for visitors to get creative with pens, pencils and markers provided by the market and/or artist managing the station.

The scoop on tailgating

Although tailgating is traditionally associated with alcohol consumption, students should not feel pressured to partake.

Tailgating can still be fun whilst sober.

FILE PHOTO KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

JER EM Y NIT TA Associate Sports Editor

Everyone has heard of tailgating and the associated tales of parties and extravagant demonstrations of school spirit. But all that “excitement” might seem a bit intimidating for an incoming college freshman who just wants to enjoy a good football game.

The question remains: What makes tailgating fun? “ Tailgating is like the whipped cream on top of ice cream,” said Leon Sheen, a senior in travel industry management, in an email interview.

“The ice cream is the football game that is full of flavor and the main part of the meal,” Sheen said.

“The whipped cream makes you question yourself since it can be unhealthy (tailgating can pose risks to your liver and stomach), but you accept it anyway because it’s delicious (tailgates are fun).”

FRIENDSHIP FIRST There is a “civilized” side to tailgating, which involves simply having a great time with some friends.

“When I tailgate, I get together with a bunch of friends before a game to eat and get hyped about the night’s event,” ASUH President Richard Mizusawa said.

“Sometimes students will grill and BBQ or just bring platters of food to share with each other. It is also a time where students can get spirited and prepare to support their team,” Mizusawa continued.

This theme of friendship seems to be a recurring one for both tailgaters. In fact, both mention it as a favorite moment.

“Last fall 2012 at the UH Homecoming game, I got together with a bunch of close friends, and we all enjoyed each other’s company and made a ton of college memories while showing our Warrior pride in the stands

at the game later that evening,” Mizusawa said.

“I’d say one of the great ones was seeing one of my former New Student Orientation protégés and reconnecting with her,” said Sheen.

“We both came from different tailgate ‘camps,’ but were able to chat and catch up on life over food and drinks. It’s great to meet new people but also great to see old faces.”

So how would these two veteran tailgaters describe tailgating in one word?

“Zestful,” Sheen said. “Tailgates are full of hearty laughs, excitement and social interaction.”

“Camaraderie,” Mizusawa said.

“It brings the students of Mānoa together in one place to cheer on our team as one body of students and proud UH Warrior supporters.”

Start your tailgating journey by heading to the Warriors’ first home game on Aug. 28 against USC. All UH Mānoa students get in free.

FOOTBALL HOME GAME SCHEDULE Aug 28 at 5 p.m. - USC Sept. 28 at 6 p.m. - Fresno State Oct. 5 at 6 p.m. - San Jose State Oct. 26 at 6 p.m. - Colorado State Nov. 16 at 5:30 p.m. - San Diego State Nov. 30 at 6 p.m. - Army All UH Mānoa students with a validated ID will receive free admission to any home football game.

UH Manoa Manual

Support UH athletics SAMANTHA BAUMGARTNER Staff Writer Thousands of people surround you, all with the same thought in mind: “Get the win, Rainbow Warriors!” You watch with anticipation as the Rainbow Wahine and Warriors face their opponents. You experience their mistakes, as well as their triumphs, and as the fi nal seconds tick down, cheers erupt from all around.

For students at the University of Hawai‘i, athletic events are a part of the college experience.

But if this situation does not seem appealing to you, there are other reasons to attend a sports game.

UH Mānoa is home to a wide array of sports teams, including baseball, basketball, football, golf, swimming and diving, tennis, volleyball, cross country, sailing, sand volleyball, soccer, softball, track and field, cheer and water polo.

If sports aren’t your “thing,” go to meet new people. There will be someone to meet at every event.

Home games are a great way to meet people and a fun way to get away from the dorms or apartments in a refreshing environment. If you need a study break, check the UH athletics website to see if there is a home game.

If you live for the excitement

of a live ball game, you are in for a treat at a Rainbow Warriors or Wahine event. To see the sweat, determination and excitement of the athletes up close is different than viewing it from a television screen, especially if you are friends with an athlete. To cheer a fellow ‘Bow along feels amazing, and when you’re in the stands with others who share the same desires, the unity is magical.

Another reason to support UH athletics is because the support means a lot to UH athletes.

“The crowd plays a huge factor in gaining and keeping momentum,” said sophomore football defensive back Dante Johnson.

“The size of the crowd can shock an opponent, and in most sports, the noise of a crowd can mess up the communication needed to execute plays or motions. Also, having a lot of people watching you makes you want to perform well so that you don’t let everyone down.”

Your support can help boost the Rainbows to victory and beyond.

UH athletics bonds together different types of people and brings all attendees a little closer.

Incoming students should attend at least one UH sporting event before their fi rst year is done because the time spent there will be something to remember.

Graham, a fourstar recruit coming out of high school and transfer from Ohio State University, is one of the most touted players to come to the UH football team in recent memory. The comparisons to former UH standout and Heisman Trophy candidate Colt Brennan may seem premature but, with Graham’s perceived talent level, perhaps not farfetched.

UH Manoa Manual

Stay in line PAIGE TAKEYA Special Issues Editor

College may be perceived as a time of freedom, but the University of Hawai‘i at M ā noa has rules and regulations like any other institution. Here are some commonly encountered policies that you should be aware of as a student.

AC A D E M I C H O N E S T Y The official jargon: “The term ‘plagiarism’ includes, but is not limited to, the use, by paraphrase or direct quotation, of the published or unpublished work of another person without full and clear acknowledgement. It also includes the unacknowledged use of materials prepared by another person or agency engaged in the selling of term papers or other academic materials.”

Real talk: Academic honesty is perhaps the most important policy that you will need to abide by during your time at UH Mā noa. Cheating and plagiarism have nigh-universal zero-tolerance consequences in individual classrooms. Professors will not feel bad about failing you if they catch you stealing the work of others.

Avoiding the pain is easy: Cite your work, and don’t copy anyone else.

RESPECT FOR PEERS The official jargon: “Sexual advances, requests for sexual favors or other behavior of a sexual nature that is unwelcome and sufficiently severe or pervasive that it interferes with a person’s academic or professional performance or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive educational or employment en-

vironment. The behavior can be verbal, non-verbal or physical.”

Real talk: You will meet a lot of people in college – and not all of them are going to be like you.

The media portrays college as a haven of wild parties, rampant drug use and sexual escapades, but reality is far more mundane.

Remember that you remain in a public space where your peers command mutual respect from you. Running around like a rabbit in heat is inappropriate and unacceptable, regardless of what a woman is wearing. Be civil to those you meet, and you can expect the same in return.

I L L I C I T S U B S TA N C E S The official jargon: “Public intoxication is expressly prohibited. Use, possession, manufacturing, or distribution of alcoholic beverages by any person under twenty-one (21) years of age is expressly prohibited.”

Real talk: A lot of people will enjoy spending their college years partying hard. That’s fine (as long as you know what your limits are), but one thing to note is that UH M ā noa does not permit illegal drugs or weapons on campus. Don’t bring your guns or your heroin to school. If you’re under 21, you are not allowed to have any kind of alcohol in your possession. Don’t let your degree suffer because you made a few bad decisions on Sunday night. Be responsible.

Why should you validate your UH ID? NOELLE F UJII News Editor Your University of Hawai‘i student identification card is more than a mere ID. If you validate it at the Campus Center Ticket, Information & ID Office, you will have access to many of the perks that come with being a student at UH M ā noa.

1. U PA S S Students who purchase the UPass pay a fee when they register ($30 per semester) so they can ride TheBus when and where they want. Show the bus driver your ID, and you’re good to ride TheBus as often as you like.

2 . L I B R A RY P R I V I L E G E S At some point, you’re going to need to check out a book from Hamilton or Sinclair Librar y, but you won’t be able to unless you have a validated ID. IDs are also required to enter the libraries after 9 p.m.

3. D I S C O U N T S F O R C A M P U S such as free movie nights and dances, which require a UH ID to enter.

S E RV I C E S Many campus services, like the Leisure Center, will offer discounts for students who validate their IDs. At the Leisure Center, students are eligible for cheaper equipment rentals and leisure classes. If you’re a theatre buff, you can get $5 student tickets to Kennedy Theatre productions with your ID. You can also get cheap movie and concert tickets at the Ticket Office.

4. KA LEO UH ID P RO G R A M Your ID can net you deals outside of campus too. There are many restaurants and shops where you can fl ash your ID to receive benefits like a free drink or meal discount. Check the Ka Leo app directory for a complete listing of participating vendors.

5. AC C E S S T O C A M P U S EVENTS Campus Center hosts numerous events throughout the year,

6. AC C E S S T O C A M P U S R E S O U RC E S Want to use a computer lab or maybe head to the Fitness Center? You’re going to need that validated ID to get inside. All Student Recreation Services programs require that ID to participate – so forget about seeing the inside of Klum Gym or playing at the tennis courts without it.

7. U H AT H L E T I C S

Any fee-paying student is eligible for discounted or free tickets to UH Mānoa athletic events. Free T-shirts or prizes are often given out to students who attend games and sit in the student sections.

8 . C L A S S WO R K Were you planning on taking a unit mastery course? You’re going to need a valid ID before you’ll be allowed to take the quizzes that accompany a course like PSY 100.
