Lindsay  Lohan  is  another  star  with  recurrent  bad  behavior.  She  has  been  in  and  out  of  rehab  more  times  than  one  hand  can  count.  Though  her  movie  career  is  in  the  toilet,  she  is  still  a  marketable  brand  to  the  tabloids  solely  because  we  love  hearing  about  how  much  of  a  mess  she Â

“Because we reward these stars, they think they are above normal people.�

In  the  days  of  our  parents,  the  rich  and  famous  were  always  portrayed  as  perfect  in  public.  They  had  it  all:  money,  cars  and  expensive  clothes.  Any  scandal  at  all  would  assuredly  end  their  career,  because  the  public  would  lose  their  perfect  illusion. Things  have  changed  drasti-­ cally.  We  as  a  society  have  a  constant  craving  for  the  imperfec-­ tions  of  celebrities,  because  they  break  the  perfect  façade.  In  a  sick  way,  it  also  makes  us  feel  better  about  our  own  lives  to  see  these  people  fall. We  enjoy  these  moments  of  bad  behavior  so  much  that  we  reward  the  stars.  One  reward  is  publicity.  Remember  that  little  jail  sentence  that  â€œfamous  for  being  famousâ€?  socialite  Paris  Hilton  VHUYHG IRU GULYLQJ XQGHU WKH LQĂ€X-­ ence?  The  media  and  public  alike  salivated  over  the  thought  of  this  spoiled  heiress  trying  to  serve  her  sentence. Instead  of  condemning  her  for  potentially  endangering  the  lives Â

is.  I  call  it  the  Amy  Winehouse  effect. The  most  recent  case  of  celeb-­ rities  still  being  rewarded  by  us  despite  bad  behavior  is  Charlie  Sheen,  star  of  television’s  number  one  comedy,  â€œTwo  and  a  Half  Men.â€?  Though  he  was  addicted  to  hard  drugs  and  prostitutes  in  the  early  stages  of  his  career,  Sheen  has  continued  his  bad  behavior Â

with  no  consequence.  In  2008,  he  assaulted  his  third  wife.  On  October  26,  he  was  found  drunk  naked  and  disorderly  in  the  Plaza  Hotel,  allegedly  with  a  call  girl.  In  the  next  room  were  Sheen’s  ex-­wife  Denise  Richards  and  their  children. What  does  Sheen  get  for  this?  The  shooting  schedule  for  his  sitcom  is  adjusted  so  he  can Â

make  up  for  his  behavior,  and  he  is  about  to  get  paid  one-­hundred  million  dollars  for  two-­more  years  of  his  sitcom.  Because  we  reward  these  stars,  they  think  they  are  above  normal  people.  This  cycle  needs  to  stop  because  it  is  a  bad  example  for  others  and  detrimen-­ tal  to  the  lives  of  the  celebrities  themselves.

a smackdown against Democrat Richard “Dick” Blumenthal.

Neither candidate spoke to me in such a way that I felt com-­ pelled to vote.

They  say  you  should  marry  your  best  friend,  but  that’s  a  bit  hazy.  Should  you  marry  the  person  who  has  become  your  best  friend,  or  should  you  marry  the  person  who  has  always  been  there  as  your  best  friend?  Of  course,  marriage  probably  isn’t  in  the  very  near  future  for  many  of  us.  It’s  still  important  to  consider  the  future  before  diving  into  a  relationship  with  someone  you’d  previously  acknowledged  as  â€œjust  a  friend.â€? It  takes  time  for  someone  to  become  your  best  friend.  There  are  hundreds  of  conversations,  arguments,  and  cycles  of  growth  throughout.  At  the  end  of  it  all,  you’ve  learned  enough  about  them  and  have  been  there  for  them  enough  that  you  know  there’s  no  denying  that  you’d  do  anything  for  them. Most  people  are  overjoyed  at  this  revelation,  but  others  are  left  confused  â€“  particularly  because  they’ve  started  to  have  romantic  feelings  for  their  best  friend.  It  seems  like  uncharted  territory,  but  if  the  feelings  are  mutual,  I  say  go  for  it. It’s  true  that  starting  a  relation-­ ship  could  end  up  hurting  your  friendship  in  the  end.  If  one  of  you  makes  a  mistake,  you  will  live  with  the  consequences  eternally Â

the  fact  that  they’re  your  best  friend  helps.  You’re  comfortable  enough  with  them  that  you  can  talk  to  them  about  what’s  on  your  mind  openly.  You  are  also  able  to  skip  the,  â€œWhat’s  your  favorite  color/home-­ town?â€?  conversation  and  gen-­ HUDO VPDOO WDON RQ WKH ÂżUVW RIÂżFLDO date.  The  conversation  can  head  straight  to  deeper  material  that  ultimately  will  reveal  more  about Â

to  date  this  type  of  person,  there  shouldn’t  be  a  problem.  The  one  you  love  should  be  your  whole  world  and  often,  our  best  friends  are.  You  can’t  help  who  you  want  to  be  involved  with.  However,  should  that  person  be  someone  you  previously  shared  a  casual  relationship  with,  it  can  work.  And  remember,  fear  and  contemplation  should  never  dictate  our  emotions.

This  past  weekend  was  not  only  Halloween  and  the  pre-­ election  weekend,  but  also  the  opening  of  class  registration  for  sophomore  students  at  Hofstra.  While  most  people  were  out  cel-­ ebrating,  a  majority  of  that  class  sat  close  to  their  laptops  waiting  for  the  stroke  of  midnight.  After  having  a  nervous  breakdown  about  two  preferred  classes  being  FORVHG , ZDV ÂżQDOO\ DEOH WR JHW into  all  the  classes  I  needed.  Some,  however,  were  not  so  lucky.  As  I  have  a  student  aide  MRE LQ D GHSDUWPHQWDO RIÂżFH , have  seen  many  students  come  in,  incredibly  fervent  about  registering  for  classes.  I  see  eyes  light  up  when  students  are  signed  into  a  class,  or  hear  long Â

life  stories  when  they  are  denied  admission  or  put  on  a  waitlist.  Registering  for  classes  can  be  quite  strenuous.  What  about  registering  to  vote?  Does  registering  as  a  voter  keep  us  hunched  over  our  laptops  late  at  night?  The  only  requirements  DUH ÂżOOLQJ RXW SULPDU\ LQIRUPDWLRQ checking  a  couple  boxes,  and  mailing  the  form  in.  The  simplicity  of  the  whole  procedure  should  be  incredibly  appealing.  According  to  CNN,  of  the  44  PLOOLRQ SHRSOH LQ $PHULFD WKDW ÂżW the  18-­29  year-­old  demographic,  RQO\ DERXW RQH ÂżIWK RI WKHP DUH registered  to  vote.  In  terms  of  the  2010  midterm  elections,  media  outlets  for  months  kept  project-­ ing  that  the  younger  generation  would  not  be  showing  up  to  the  polls. Â

Even  after  President  Obama  visited  several  universities  encouraging  students  to  vote,  the  media  still  proclaimed  a  majority  of  the  18-­29  demographic  to  be  â€œno-­shows.â€?  What  can  possibly  be  done  to  convince  this  age  group  to  regis-­ ter  to  vote  for  something  of  such  magnitude?  Besides  President  Obama  making  appearances  at  universities,  the  motley  crew  of  candidates  running  in  various  places  throughout  the  coun-­

try  should  have  been  enough  motivation.  Delaware  Tea  Partier  Christine  O’Donnell  claimed  she  had  dabbled  in  witchcraft,  while  New  York  Republican  Carl  Paladino  made  bold  statements  against  gay  pride  parades.  Conecticut  Republican  Linda  McMahon  was  the  former  manager  of  the  WWE,  and  notorious  third  party  candi-­ date  Jimmy  McMillan  decided  to  run  under  â€œThe  Rent  is  2  Damn  Highâ€?  party  ticket. Â

Clearly  registering  to  vote  is  simpler  than  registering  for  class-­ es.  No  scary  midnight  deadlines;Íž  QR QHHG WR ÂżOO RXW PDQ\ WHGLRXV different  forms,  or  send  them  to  YDULRXV RIÂżFHV <HW WKH DOUHDG\ simple  process  apparently  isn’t  simple  enough  for  young  people  to  take  the  time  out  of  their  day  to  vote.  When  will  it  be?

Want to travel halfway across the world without leaving campus? The Hawaii Club is the perfect way to submerge yourself into all things Hawaii: the culture, music, food, and history. Best of all, you don’t even have to be a Hawaii native to join. In fact, only one-­third of the club is actually Hawaiian. Although the organization is fairly new to campus, they have a few events lined up that are sure to bring the beautiful islands of Hawaii to Hofstra. In talks are a Luau fundraiser and a Spam musubi sale, which is a popular Hawaiian snack and lunch food made in a Japanese fashion. “Being someone from Hawaii, I appreci-­ ate the islands and want to share the his-­ tory and culture with New York,” Danielle Ruiz, the Hawaii club’s Publicity Chair, says. “Hawaii is more than just a tourist location.” The tropical group of islands is known for their strong “Aloha Spirit,” which

celebrates the patriotism that Hawaiian natives radiate. Club Founder Gareth Teixeira thought there would be a club that represents Hawaiians already on campus. He says, “When I was looking at colleges, I thought there would be some-­ thing like this anywhere I went.” Teixeira was determined to bring Hawaiian culture to the Hofstra community. The club is ready to give back to Long Island, and also plans on incorporating various environmental community service oppurtunities into their responsibilities as an organization. Sophomore club member Andrew Gasparini was inspired by Teixeira, his roommate to join. “I was interested in my roommate’s culture,” he says, “and the idea of learning about it through fun trips and events seemed cool.” The Hawaii Club meets in Davison Hall, room 17 on Thursdays at 8:30 p.m. Join them to ride the cultural waves and expe-­ rience the legendary traditions, customs, and way of life that Hawaii is known for.

the big reasons I had to move out of the dorms. I only own one sword though, but I’d love to build a collection. I’m inter-­ ested in other weapons like the kyoketso shoegi, a roped weapon where there is a metal hoop on one end and a dagger on the other.

ASSISTANT FEATURES EDITOR

You may have seen him around campus trying to make “Hawaiian Shirt Thursdays” popular among his peers, but there is a lot more to Maximillan Zdrada than his eclectic fashion. The junior liberal arts major with a concentration in psychology, history and religion is from 1HZ +DPSVKLUH DQG KDV D ÀDLU IRU WKH odd and interesting.

The Chronicle: What do you do when you’re back in New Hampshire?

The Chronicle: So what are your hobbies? Zdrada: Well I play the didgeridoo. I’ve been playing for about four years now just for fun. I love it immediately because it was so interesting and different from the trombone (which he used to play before). The Chronicle: Do you play with a group or just for yourself personally? Zdrada: Mostly I play for fun and play for my friends, but I’ve also been getting into didgeridoo therapy where you play – its hard to explain-­ it produces vibrations that release the chakras in your body so it relaxes the people listening to it. I’ve played for my mom’s yoga class. The Chronicle: What else do you do in your spare time?

Jim Ausanio/The Chronicle Max has been playing the didgeridoo for four years.

Zdrada: Right now I’m practicing nin-­ jutsu (or becoming like a ninja). I’ve been practicing back home over the summer for two years now. I just came back from a ninja camp where we went into the woods learned new things and ideas. The Chronicle: What got you into being a ninja? Did you practice martial arts as a kid? Zdrada: I did wrestling, football and lacrosse my whole life and stopped once at Hofstra, but I had always liked martial

arts so I stumbled upon a dojo in my town and met the people running it. I loved it from then on. The Chronicle: What does being a ninja involve? Zdrada: Stealth, evasion, self-­defense, hand-­to-­hand combat, Samurai sword training, which I do every Friday. The Chronicle: So you have your own sword? Zdrada: Yeah [laughing]. That’s one of

Zdrada: I lumberjack during the VXPPHU ,¶YH EHHQ GRLQJ LW IRU ¿YH \HDUV so I’m very familiar with an axe and chainsaw. My brother and I started our RZQ EXVLQHVV , ¿QG LW PRUH UHZDUGLQJ than some retail job I could get. Working outdoors is enriching. I love the outdoors. I enjoy skiing, snowboarding, snowshoe-­ ing, cross-­country skiing, kayaking and canoeing. I love to do it all. The Chronicle: What are your plans for when you graduate? Zdrada: I’m going on to Chiropractic College. I’ve looked into three schools over the summer and I’m really sold on Palmer Chiropractic College in Florida, but before I do that I’m going to hike the Appalachian trail with a friend of mine. We decided we’re going to embark on the 5-­month journey starting in Maine and ending in Georgia. Then I’ll enroll in school in the spring.
