The top 10 stories of the past semester Now that we’re all back in school again, it’s time to wipe the blur of parties, presents and firecrackers from our minds and get back into the groove of school. If you’re like me, you might need a bit of a reminder as to what the heck happened last semester, so here you go:
focused on the implementation of the money. As Clifton Tanabe, an assistant professor at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa College of Education, says: “Seventy-fi ve million (dollars) in federal funds is a nice addition to the education budget, but without an extremely effective implementation process, it is unlikely to improve public education in Hawai‘i. Our job as community members is to make clear to the state that we want that money to go to good use.”
“‘CJ’ Richardson leaves influential legacy” - July 2, 2010
“Show me the money: faculty pay cuts a year later” - Oct. 1, 2010
WILL CARON Editor-in-Chief
This article by Associate News Editor Jane Callahan outlines the major accomplishments of one of the University of Hawai‘i’s most distinguished alumni who passed away this past summer. Richardson served as chief justice of Hawai‘i, chairman of the Hawai‘i Democratic Party and was the state’s fi rst lieutenant governor. He also founded the law school which bears his name. He always strove to help the people of Hawai‘i during his time as a public servant and to help the students of UH Mānoa by pushing for the creation of the law school.
“Race to the Top raises implementation concerns” - Sept. 1, 2010 Investigative reporter Sam King reports on the $75 million federal dollars granted to the State of Hawai‘i to help fi x the public school system in the state. In his article, King interviews several university and public school teachers, many of whom present what King calls “cautious optimism” in their interviews, their primary concerns being
Jane Callahan’s piece returns to one of 2009’s hot topics: the 6.6 percent faculty pay cuts implemented in order to help curb the ongoing severe budget crisis here at UH Mānoa. In her piece, Callahan cites a serious disconnect between the effects of this cut on students’ ability to register for classes and utilize fi rst-class institution resources, on teachers’ ability to teach effectively and the high salaries of top-ranking offi cials like President Greenwood and Coach McMackin. The cuts may seem like they harm faculty more than students, but as is pointed out in Callahan’s piece, new professors dissuaded by the cuts can find work elsewhere; meanwhile, the students are left with a sometimes impossible situation. With increased enrollment but fewer teachers and resources, it will remain a struggle for many students to take the classes they need to graduate on time. This results in another year of tuition, loans and and potential debt.

“Democrats Abercrombie and Schatz sweep general election” Nov. 9, 2010
m o r f d e u n i t n o C Top 10: ious page prev “Why aren’t you here?” - Oct. 27, 2010 Sports Editor Russell Tolentino strikes upon a major issue pertaining to what the administration calls “The Mānoa Experience.” With free admission, free transportation and a winning team with a great record, one would think that there would be a much larger student turnout at our home football games. Tolentino’s article focusses on the team’s stats and how well they’re doing, but what makes this one of the most important articles of the semester is that it shows just how much UH Mānoa lacks in unity, spirit and a cohesive college experience. Though the administration is trying to change this, simply offering free tickets may not be enough to grab the attention of students who commute from around the island. The number of students who live on campus is much smaller than the number of students who slug through traffic every morning to get to class, making the problem different from many other schools. And what a problem it is – alumni donations depend a great deal on how memorable the alum’s experience was at UH, and based on Tolentino’s article, it seems like most of our recent alums probably stayed home on game day.
News Editor Lynn Nakagawa recaps the Democratic general election victory in the gubernatorial race. In her article, Abercrombie supporters said that their votes were largely determined by Abercrombie’s stance on civil unions, his plan to revamp public education and prevent further furloughs and budget cuts and his dedication to serving the people of the state through hard work. The environment, renewable energy, food security and a better job market were also listed as reasons for supporter’s votes. With Abercrombie promising to include both university and public school officials in his cabinet meetings and planning process, students hope that better solutions to UH Mānoa’s problems and the problems of the public schools can be worked out and implemented.
“Ellsberg expounds on government accountability” - Nov. 15, 2010 When the “most dangerous man in America” came to Hawai‘i to talk about government accountability and the responsibility of journalists to truthfully inform the public about what the government is doing, Ka Leo Senior Staff Writer Alicia Partridge was on the scene. The WikiLeaks scandal and its similarities to the “Pentagon Papers” leak that Ellsberg made possible during the Vietnam War say a lot about the state of our nation today. Vietnam, just like the Iraq War, divided the American people, and just like during the Vietnam era, government secrecy, the sacrifi ce of rights for security and propaganda threatened and is still threaten-

As Partridge reports, Ellsberg’s biggest fear is that history is repeating itself and that no one seems to have learned the painful lesson that he was willing to sacrifi ce everything in order to teach us – hold your government accountable. As Ben Franklin said: “They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
“One hundred thousand violated” - Nov. 19, 2010 The violations reported on in this article are not of the sexual or personal-space type, but rather, violations of privacy and of securing private information. After the fourth security breach in 18 months left 40,101 names and Social Security numbers of UH alumni exposed, Senior Staff Writer Chris Mikesell reported that one graduate, Phillipe Gross, fi led a class action lawsuit against the university. According to Thomas Grande, the lawyer representing Gross: “The university has been conspicuously silent in communicating with the victims of the privacy breach ...They did send out a notice, but the notice told the victims, you have to monitor your credit report ... They’re putting it back on the victims to protect themselves.” The outcome of the lawsuit remains to be seen.
“Tuition on the table: increases planned through 2016” - Dec. 3, 2010 Jane Callahan returns with an article about proposed tuition hikes that could double student bills by 2016. The article cites Linda Johnsrud, vice president for academic planning and policy, as listing “several benefits of a higher tuition, including hiring more teachers, building improvements and more fi nancial aid.”
Most students, like Tricia John, a junior in geology and geophysics, said that th the he tuition increases were a good thing, provided the funds were used appropriately. “The prices of everything go up. The school clearly needs improvement, so a rise in tuition is understandable,” she said. “I’d like to see the money go to the grounds and the buildings. There’s patches of dirt everywhere, where there should be grass.” Paul Allas, a junior studying fi nance, echoed that sentiment, saying, “I fi gured tuition would go up, it’s been steadily going up.” According to Callahan’s article, Allas thought that the music program should see benefits from the increased funds.
“When I eat breakfast, I don’t call it gay breakfast” - Dec. 6, 2010 Chris Mikesell’s opinions piece argues that for true equality to occur, labels themselves must be dropped – and that’s what makes his article one of last semester’s top 10. As Mikesell says in his article: “I’m gay confi dent that we’re getting closer to the gay day when we can gaily proclaim that we can fi nally get gay married. “But the day I really want to see? I’m waiting for the day we can just call it getting married.” The struggle for equal rights is not over, but hopefully it will be soon.
“Master’s degree: aye or nay” - Dec. 12, 2010 Opinions Editor Lindsy Ogawa writes in our Graduation Issue that more and more students are feeling that a “simple” bachelor’s degree is no longer enough to find work in many fields. According to Evin Tsutsui, a UHM senior majoring in Sociology, “I feel like an M.A. is becoming the new B.A.” The problem that Ogawa expounds upon is one of balancing risks. Students who choose to stay in school and earn their M.A. run the risk of accumulating debt beyond what they may be able to handle. Students who strike out into the job market with only a B.A. run the risk of unemployment or employment outside of their career path. In this economy, it’s unclear which path is the safest, and so Ogawa rightly advises that “close research should be done on whether alumni from a particular field and graduate program have benefited in pay and job opportunities” before making any decision.

Campus construction to yield B Y JANE CALLAHAN Associate News Editor Students returning to school this week will have to adjust to the construction around Campus Center, but many don’t know the details behind the barricades. Eunhee Park, a graduate student in public health, said the limited pathways in and out of campus center will make the building “very crowded. I wish they did this over break.” When asked if she knew why the barriers were up, she said she didn’t know. “I never got a notice or an email.” Tina Do, a junior in nursing, also said she didn’t know why there was construction or for how long it would continue. While many students shrugged as to why the construction was taking place, most were surprised to learn that the building will go on for the next two years in a threepart project to renovate campus center and build a new two-story recreational center spanning 56,000 square feet. Sarah Yap, the Director of Student Union and Campus Life Services , said that the project’s 2B phase encompasses “the construction of the recreational center, upgrading centralized air conditioning for Hemenway Hall and Campus Center, renovating the bookstore’s fi rst-fl oor entrance, creating a full-service coffee shop on the second fl oor of Campus Center, and increasing seating and landscape space.” The recreational center will have a laundry space, gymnasium, an indoor track, two
courts, a cardiovascular and weight training center, two studios, locker rooms and showers. Furnishings and equipment for the new center are chosen by the Recreation Board, which consulted with other college recreational centers. The recreational center is part of a three-part part renovation plan named “the Campus Center Renovation and Expansion Project”. The idea came about in 2000, and was approved in 2006 by the Campus Center board, a student organization chartered under the Board of Regents. “The goal is to energize the campus and enhance the students’ college experience ... and increased access to services” Said Yap. The project was put together using student surveys, focus studies, and consultations, which were used to formulate an idea of what the student body most needed. The center will be accessible to all students who have paid their student fees. Yap added “(The student fee) not only covers the use of the new rec center but also includes access to programs, services and facilities that are governed by the Campus Center Board and its programming committees.” Tentatively, the recreational center’s hours will go as late as 10 p.m. on weekdays and will be open on weekends. In June of 2006, the State Legislature allotted $1 million for the design and plans, and in November of 2006, the Board of Regents approved an increase in student fees in order the help in funding the project. The Campus Center Board also created an account through the UH Foundation, to which private donors may contribute.

new rec center in two years The three-part project in its entirety is estimated to cost a total of $46.5 million dollars, with the Recreational Center, which is yet to be offi cially named, costing $38 million to build. Yap confi rmed that thus far the project has remained within the projected budget. The companies involved in the building were chosen through a bidding process, which resulted in the selection of Honolulu Builders and Ushijima Architects as well as Yost, Grube, and Hall for the architecture. The design of the recreational center will include eco-friendly characteristics which Yap anticipates to be LEED Gold certified. Requirements to meet such certifi cation include the maximum utilization of daylight, solar water heating, natural ventilation, tanks that store water run-off, and sensored and low-fl ow toilets. While it is set to be completed in December 2012, the construction depends on many factors. Frank Ifuku, the Construction Manager for Mitsunaga and Associates, Inc., said that while things are on schedule, there is always a chance of delays. For example, heavy rains over winter break delayed road construction. “Mānoa is a rainy area, and there are always unforeseen things like finding pipes that weren’t shown on the original drawing.” He explained that if the workers were to discover an unknown gas or water line, the trenching would have to come to a halt. “If a water line broke, that would impact the school … the school

won’t have any water.” The new water line is being built between Kuykendall and the courtyard. Ifuku said this was the company’s fi rst time building a recreational center. As for the location of the center, Park said “It’s the most crowded place on campus; they should have done this somewhere else.” Do, who will graduate before the center is completed, expressed disappointment at having to deal with the construction but not take advantage of the facility, asking “Why didn’t they just do this two years ago?” Patrick Ng, a freshman in psychology, thinks that the addition of the new center is a positive. “This is a good thing because the more cool stuff (University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa) has the more respect we get. We get a better reputation.” As for the barriers in and out of campus center he said “I don’t think it’s a big deal. People can move fast if they want to.” “Many people are supporting the project,” said Yap, who added that the opening will be accompanied with an offi cial celebration open to students. The Campus Center Board and Activities Council and Recreation Board encourage students who wish to volunteer their time in facilitating events such as movie nights and concerts. Those interested can contact ccb@hawaii.edu. For additional information go to http://www.hawaii.edu/campuscenter/renovation/

Five New Year’s resolutions for the semester match at least one of your interests. So don’t let 2011 crawl by with you still lounging in your comfort bubble, and get out there and take part in something you can boast about later.
A LVIN PARK Associate Features Editor
The new year always provides people with a fresh slate and a clean record where they can set themselves challenging goals and new ambitions to tackle in the upcoming year. Unfortunately, attempting New Year’s resolutions such as going to the gym more often or being more wellmannered by swearing less, often end up fruitless and unsuccessful. So what better way to start off 2011 than to improve your academic life and ring in the New Year with improved grades to keep your spirits up all year long? Take a gander at these five New Year’s resolutions for the semester that you should defi nitely attempt to keep.
1. B E MO R E O RGA N I Z E D It’s a proven fact that people who are more organized in life report fewer occurrences of stress. It’s no surprise that not knowing where you stashed that 8-page essay and scrambling to find out when your next sociology exam is can definitely take a toll on your stress levels. A simple weekly

Remember life before Facebook? When us college students could type up our essays without distraction and study for our midterms without having to repeatedly check if anyone commented on our witty status updates? As the prevalence of social media grows, sometimes it’s hard to keep focused on our academic lives when our digital lives seem so much more interesting. It’s understandable, but in 2011, try come up with innovative ways to prevent Facebook and other social media miscreants from invading your study sessions – or you can merely deactivate your account until midterms are over.
4 . S N AG A N I N T E R N S H I P Although the economy is in a rut and the prospect of the job market still looks dim, internships are still widely available for
college students. Even though the odds of you getting a paid internship are low, it’s a great opportunity to showcase your experience and hone your skills that will carry on into your future career field. It also provides you with opportunities to meet new people, learn new things, and make industry connections that may prove valuable in the future. So brush off your old résumé, update it, and start hunting for an internship.
5. D O N ʼ T B E A K I L L J OY
Although college is primarily about academics and earning a degree to achieve a respectable career, we’d all have driven off a cliff by now if we didn’t have fun every now and then. You’re still young and in college, which means you should reward yourself and alleviate all that stress by doing things you enjoy. College is a whole learning experience, and how can you learn from your mistakes if you don’t make any? Kidding aside, it’s important to have fun this semester but keep it in moderation so your social and academic lives won’t clash.

Adding fiber to your diet is essential to remaining healthy and losing weight. The average American adult needs at least 25 grams of fiber a day. H AIYA SARWAR Associate Features Editor If your New Year’s resolution was to lose weight this year, there may be an easier way to do it. Instead of starving yourself for a quick fi x, change your metabolism for the long run. Healthy eating is the key to a functioning metabolism. But one thing in particular is an especially major factor: fiber. “Many Americans lack dietary fiber in the diet because these foods are expensive, perishable, and viewed as inconvenient,
many require preparation prior to consumption,” explains Dr. Maria Stewart, an expert in the study of human nutrition at UH Mānoa. In fact, one of the reasons obesity is so prevalent in America is because of our extremely fiberdeprived diets. Fiber helps to process the food through your body effectively because it satiates your hunger. But this being a fast food nation, the average American gets only about 12 grams of fiber daily. This is a major difference from the daily 100 to 300 grams See Eat fiber, next page

From garbanzos to lentils, beans are filled with fiber. Most beans have over 10 grams of fiber per serving. So though Taco Bell may not be healthy, real beanfilled Mexican food is very good for you.
Pasta gets a bad rap, but whole-wheat pasta has about 6 grams of fiber per serving.
Guacamole is ver y f iber-rich
Though all plant-like foods have some amount of fiber, some are obviously more fiber-rich than others. Apples and pears are two of the fruits highest in fiber. They contain about 5 grams per serving.

SOFT seeks new site C HRIS M IKESELL Senior Staff Writer
First, their crops were stolen. Then their tools disap peared. W hen they stopped bringing their tools, their empty tool shed vanished. The life of a student farmer can be, at times, a frustrating one for the students who run the Student Organic Farm Training (SOFT) club. But it’s a lifestyle that can pay off even if the crop is gone. “We want on-farm training, hands-on stuff,” said Duke Morgan, a senior majoring in Tropical Plant and Soil Sciences who serves as a student advisor to the SOF T program. “We want to be able to supply the great people of this university with quality produce, but the most important part of that, we think, is the continuity of the produce.” By continuity, Morgan means thinking “from seed to sale,” becoming involved in every step of the farming process from propagation to cultivation

and even to distribution. It’s a mission that can be difficult to accomplish without the proper resources. One of SOF T’s challenges is that their oneacre farm adjacent to the UH Waimānalo research station is so insecure that most of their crop bananas, guavas, herbs and tree fruit - is lost to theft. That means the loss of money they could have used to invest in irrigation - or even a fence. But even if SOF T had the money, right now the club lacks the manpower to bring what little land they have up to full productive capacity. “ We’re limited, mostly, by our labor force,” said Morgan. “ We don’t have enough people coming regularly all the time to make that we have the manhours to do specific things that have to be done.” SOF T’s students drive out to their plot at the UH Waimānalo research station every Saturday See Student farmers, next page

as small as the lawn fronting Hawai‘i Hall and Varney Circle, but could also include plots as large as the field at the intersection of Metcalf and Ho‘onanea on the UH Lab School campus. The club’s strategy is to forge partnerships among faculty
if you let a crop sit for a year, everything has to start over. It could take five years to build that back up again.
That’s a reality of student farm life they hope to change. The students of SOF T are putting together a proposal that would put what they see as an underutilized campus lawn to use as an on-campus student farm plot. It’s an idea that, at least in theory, Chancellor Hinshaw has expressed support for, though the group is still far from presenting their final proposal to campus administration. Possible plots ideas to be put forward in their proposal include an area
members who would be willing to provide material support to the project, whether that support is in the form of classes about soil quality, providing design services, or asking their classes to visit the future farm as part of their curriculum. While an on-campus plot might not solve all of their problems, SOF T’s students think that the added visibility of an oncampus farm would bring muchneeded attention to a program that fits into the campus’ efforts
to promote sustainability. “ We’ve studied what other student farms do on the mainland,” said SOF T officer Gabriel Sachter-Smith. “Four of us went to a bunch of student farms, talked to them, saw them, saw what they do, how they integrate and organize, then we took that and all of our experience, and we want to take our organization to the next level and integrate it into the college and university community.” Growth and visibility, he says, are important for the future of the student farm because it’s different from every other campus club out there. “A lot of student clubs, yeah, they have fun doing stuff, but they can leave whatever activity or project they have for a year while nothing happens. “But if you let a piece of land sit – if you let a crop sit for a year, everything has to start over. It could take five years to build that back up again.”
SOFT hopes to aquire resources and support by networking with UH faculty. The club is also seeking members to bring their farm up to full productive capacity. CHRIS MIKESELL KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

The case for gaming
Another study by the University of Rochester discussed typical traits exhibited by gamers. The Detroit Free Press stated “Gamers studied [by the university] performed better than non-gamers on tests of attention, speed, accuracy, vision and multitasking. Gamers are better at contrast sensitivity - - the ability to see subtle shades of gray - and are better able to read small typefaces than non-gamers… Gamers [also] have better attention spans - - they stay focused and are less distracted by events in their surroundings. They can switch activities much faster than non-gamers, making them better multitaskers.”

In an East Carolina University study on the stress- relieving properties of video games, students were tasked with searching the Internet for journal articles and given 15 minutes of playing a “casual video game” like Bejeweled 2. The results showed decreases in psychological tension, anger, depression, vigor, and fatigue. DAVIN AOYAGI Associate Opinions Editor Gaming is often inaccurately regarded as a dangerous and addictive activity that should be banned. In reality, that could not be further from the truth. Video games offer benefits, not detriments. Arguments against video games are based upon problems that are not limited to gaming.

Opponents of video games argue that video-game violence contributes to real-world violence as children are unable to distinguish between the two entities.
While this would certainly be a valid point if it were true, recent studies show this is not the case. A study conducted by Texas A&M International University showed that exposure to videogame violence was not a strong predictor of violence among children. The reality is that video games may offer psychological benefi ts. A Newsweek article stated that “some videogames might improve general mental agility.” The article focused on strategy games such as Rise of Nations, that help to “[improve] executive-control functions such as task switching, working memory, visual short-term memory, and reasoning in older adults.”
One of the main criticisms against gaming has to do with the belief that video games are addictive and destructive. Some may be familiar with websites such as WoWdetox.com and have watched the “South Park” episode based on “ World of Warcraft.” Undoubtedly, gaming addiction is a perceived reality among some individuals. I suggest that while gaming may have addictive qualities, there is no indication that it is any more addictive than other activities. The American Psychological Association has not declared video game addiction as being a disease. Furthermore, soda and junk food have the potential to become addictive, but many people are able to consume these foods in moderation. While it is true that certain substances such as cigarettes may have chemicals that are addictive, there is no evidence that gaming has that effect. It’s fair that some people have had negative experiences with gaming, because video games can have their faults if misused. However, negative stereotypes that have been ascribed to games have yet to be proven.

Never let it be said… A ARON HUNGER Staff Writer
As we settle back into the academic grind of being faculty, students or staff, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome everyone back. If this is your inaugural semester, I send a special “aloha” to you. This is a very exciting point in history, as it appears that both the state and University are developing at a greatly expanding pace. In case you missed it, there is an entirely new campus being constructed in in Kapolei. When I transferred from my undergraduate university to Hawai`i, I decided to move to the suburbs located on the windward side of the island and commute. I understood that traffi c would be an obstacle, but the opportunity for my family to grow in the secluded and quiet area of Kapolei was an attractive alternative to the fast-paced hustle of Honolulu. That was three years ago. At that point, the University was still a very commuter-oriented institution that fostered its own unique, slower-paced environment in contrast with the city that surrounded it. How things have changed. Last semester, I wrote about the business model that the University appears to be following which focuses on and highlights athletics as the new marketing tool to “brand name” the university by unifying its identity through the trademark “H” logo. This is not necessarily a bad thing. There are many successful examples of universities using athletics to promote their image to attract future students, such as the University of Iowa, Ohio State University and the University of Arizona. The new student center, which is slated for completion in 2012, is set directly in the middle of the campus. Whether by design or accident, the placement of the new student recreational center is at the core of all campus
activity, emphasizing physical development and fitness. This model seems also to be having success because the “H” logo and “Warriors” branding are appearing not only across the island, but in many areas of the mainland. Hawai`i is becoming a destination institution. With this established, I wanted to voice my opinion that the University and its students and faculty now stand at the threshold of a new day. The state’s economic challenges now appear to be slowly subsiding. The new growth is now primarily focused on luring new business to the island. However, the economic facts are that the challenges for the state remain the same when considering what exportable commodity the state produces. How, then, does Hawaiʻi lure these businesses? One possible answer: the University and its community. Many cities establish themselves with a university as the focal point, with businesses supporting and surrounding it. Major metropolises such as Berkeley, Calif. and semi-large communities like Davis, Calif. are dependent on the universities they encompass to lead and set the tone for the community. Never let it be said that there was not a point in time that O`ahu and the state of Hawai`i could not turn things around if they simply met and worked with the three major institutions on the island. Hawai`i Pacific University has already started to reshape their windward campus to expand it into a major residential institution. Brigham Young University is not idle, either. The surrounding community has seen many infrastructural improvements near their campus in the last year including an infusion of new businesses. With three major universities and four major campuses, there will be a major university in all four corners of the island. Having the major institutions as
a focal point within these new growth areas would create the much-needed service jobs and opportunities for residents of those communities. This may take foresight and planning, but UH Mānoa seems to be doing its part. If our new governor (a graduate of our institution) is the visionary that he was elected to be, then the state can begin to work with the different institutions to ensure that infrastructure is coordinated to allow these institutions (and therefore those communities) to develop. The state’s economic plan would then center on the three major elements that add to the economic growth of the island, those being tourism, the military, and the major academic institutions. T his is extremely important, as the only hope that Native Hawaiians seem to have lef t in voicing their justif iable argument about land rights is sues rests within the academic institutions that foster research and study in this area. T here fore, the expansion of the universities is an opportunit y to unif y all the communities and return aloha to the island. T his could be the beginning of allowing Native Hawaiians a way to retain cultural and historical traditions while building a communit y of respect that surrounds them, rather than the oppression that is spoken of as a result of the militar y presence on the islands. Never let it be said that we did not see the great opportunity that rests in front of us as an academic community. All of us, from the faculty to the supporting staff to the student body itself, can now press for this new renaissance on the island that allows for economic and academic growth. Aaron Hunger teaches in the Political Science department at the University of Hawai‘i at Mā noa and is a Gender Studies graduate student.

Psychology of New Year’s resolutions DAVIN AOYAGI Associate Opinions Editor
For millions of Americans, the new year symbolizes a moment where one can start with a tabula rasa. In the spirit of this renewal, New Year’s resolutions are often the method by which one idealistically promises to change oneself. However, there are numerous considerations when thinking about resolutions that can be explored, such as an individual’s personality and its effect on resolutions.
Will your New Year’s resolutions be a resounding bang or a sputtering dud?
FAC T O R S I N T H E N U M B E R OF RESOLUTIONS SET An individual’s personality can affect the number of resolutions set, according to a study study conducted in 2005 entitled “Where There Is a Will, Is There a Way? Effects of Lay Theories of Self-Control on Setting and Keeping Resolutions.” The study shows that individuals who view self-control as being a limitless element tended to set more goals.
JEFF_GOLDEN FLICKR
By comparison, individuals who view their self-control as limited by other factors such as genetics or work set less goals. The study determined that individuals with high self-effi cacy

tended to accomplish their goals. The study also said that when individuals failed on their resolutions, “ individuals with high self-effi cacy attribute failure to insuffi cient effort, while individu-

als with low self-effi cacy attribute failure to defi cient ability.”
W H AT A R E A M E R I C A N S ʼ R E S O L U T I O N S T H I S Y E A R? Aside from the traditional resolutions of losing weight, trying harder in school and being closer with friends and family, the hard economic times have also prompted new resolutions. A study conducted by Monster.com and
Hotjobs.com indicated that out of a job poll for the new year, “66 percent of those polled said they were looking for a new job with a new employer, 15 percent were hoping for a raise or promotion at their current employer and 17 percent were hoping to start their own business. Two percent said they were happy with the status quo.” Other websites like Forbes offer advice as well, with articles such as “8 personal fi nance New Year’s resolutions.” Whether these resolutions will be fulfi lled is hard to determine. A recent report by the US Department of Labor showed grim economic progress. According to an Associated Press article on the report, “[the] monthly survey found that employers added 103,000 jobs in December, fewer than economists had forecast. The unemployment rate dropped to 9.4 percent, the lowest in 19 months. But the rate fell partly because many people had given up on fi nding work.”
With these considerations in mind, I hope that UH students can make their goals with a high level of self-effi cacy and that the job market recovers. Beyond that, I sincerely hope that we all have a transformative experience.
