A LEX BITTER Contributing Writer A newly released student survey ranked University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s Hamilton Library among the 20 lowestrated college libraries in the U.S. The survey, conducted by the Princeton Review, posed the question “How do you rate your school’s library facilities?” to 122,000 students from 377 college campuses across the nation.

According to information provided by the college-ranking company, respondents were able to choose an answer from a range of four to five descriptors, such as “Excellent” and “Awful.” From these responses, two lists – one of the 20 highestrated college libraries and one of the 20 lowest-rated – were derived.

MISSING PIECES The study was based solely on student opinion and did not take other

metrics, such as circulation of materials, number of volumes or specialty collections, into account.

Interim university librarian Gregg Geary, who oversees Hamilton Library, argued that the Princeton Review’s survey lacks clarity and detail.

He said that, although he would like to address the concerns of students, this particular survey provides no specific qualitative feedback on which to act.

Princeton Review ranks Hamilton in bottom 20 from front page

In addition to concerns about the quality of the survey question, Geary also expressed disagreement with the study’s focus on one part of the library – specifically, the facilities – and the lack of attention toward other measures, such as circulation and number of volumes.

“This is a really big problem, since an academic library, such as ours, is a large, complex organization,” Geary said. “Facilities is only one part of what makes up our library.”

Although Hamilton’s low ranking would appear to be the direct result of student discontent with the library, Quintin Watanabe, a freshman majoring in engineering and a member of the UH Honors program, said his experiences working at Hamilton have been positive. He acknowledged that, while he is still new to the campus, the library has yet to give him anything to gripe about.

“It’s really not that bad,” Watanabe said.

Meanwhile, Geary said that Hamilton, as well as the other libraries at UH Mānoa, continue to make improvements. He pointed to money recently appropriated by the Vice Chancellor for Administration, Finance and Operations, which will be used to hire a space consultant “to review how our library space is used and where improvements can be made.”

In addition, Geary said the library is very interested in maintaining and adding $6 million worth of electronic volumes and other resources, which he said are often “taken for granted” by library patrons.

Overall, he said he feels the Princeton Review’s findings highlight the fact that improvements must be made at Hamilton and provide no way to gauge the progress that the library has made in recent decades.

“It doesn’t measure where we’ve come from,” Gear y said.

W hile the official results of the Princeton Review’s librar y sur vey are available online, the full set of rankings – including top and bottom 20 lists in 62 categories – will not be available until the Review publishes its annual guide, “ The Best 377 Colleges,” later this fall.

The grand prize giveaway at Campus Kickoff will be an iPad, courtesy of the UH Bookstore.

M AILE BELONGIE Contributing Writer The Campus Kickoff, a celebration designed to rally University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa students for the football season, will take place this Wednesday from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. on the Diamond Head side of Hawai‘i Hall.

The rally seeks to promote spirit and pump students up for the football game against Lamar University on Saturday.

“Aside from getting people excited about football, the purpose is really for Campus Services to really connect with the UH communit y,” said Ashley de Coligny, marketing of f icer of Campus Ser vices.

The different branches of Campus Services, including Emergency Management, Campus Security, Commuter and Fleet Services, Faculty Housing, Food

Services, Mail Services, Rainbowtique, the UH Bookstore and the Conference Center, will all be represented in different tents.

V E N D O R S A N D S H OWC A S E S Students will have a chance to eat at food trucks such as Momo Burger and Sugarbeans Bake Shop, as well as attend the official launch of WeCar, which will include a traditional Hawaiian blessing.

Attendees will also see a fashion show displaying some of Rainbowtique’s newest styles. The models for this fashion show are various UH representatives eager to show off their swag.

“Our first model is actually going to be Chancellor [Thomas] Apple,” de Coligny said. “Followed by various staff, students … even ‘the aunties’ are going to be there. They are also debuting some kids’ and pets’ clothes.”

Also making an appearance are Tom Tom the Panda Express Panda and the Rainbowtique’s dancing Sock Monkey. Emceeing the event will be radio personality Bill Van Osdol, better known as “Billy V,” along with his coemcee Tracy Orillo-Donovan.

FREE GOODIES Many prizes, such as Commuter Service bike helmets, T-shirts, free drinks from Food Services, coupon f lyers, gift cards, spirit items and a 16 GB iPad will be given away.

“Some are just freebies, but some prizes the students will have to play silly games for,” Phyllis Look, marketing and communications manager of UH Auxiliary Enterprises, said. “Maybe they’ll have to do a dance with the Sock Monkey … There’s no confirmation on that yet.”

Chewy oatmeal-raisin cookies A sweet healthy treat C HANEL H EBARU Contributing Writer Every morning, as I wait in line for a cup of tea, I encounter my daily dilemma: the pastry y display. I think that I deserve a treat, but is the instant gratification worth the regret later? I think not.

So I began a search forr a pastry recipe that cuts out sugar and butter without sacrificing fl avor. I fi nally stumbled upon this one: a recipe for oatmeal-raisin cookies, which hich I adapted from the recipe book “Perfect Light Desserts” by Nick Malgieri. I tweaked it by cutting out more sugar and adding a couple ingredients dients to give it more fl avor.

Note: The cookies will be soft and fragile due to the almond fl our. If you do not like that, you can replace almond fl our with regular white fl our.

Watch cookies closely because they burn quickly.

Ingredients: ents: (Yields approximately tely 18 cookies) 1 cup almond nd fl our 1 tsp baking g powder ½ tsp baking ng soda 1 tsp cinnamon namon Pinch off salt 2 Tbs unsalted butter (room temperature) 1/3 cup granulated lated sugar 1/3 cup light brown n sugar (packed) 1 large egg ¼ cup unsweetened ed applesauce 1 tsp vanillaa extract 1 1/3 cup oats (not instant) ¼ cup raisins aisins ¼ cup cranberries nberries Directions: 1.

Campus Catwalk A NTON GLAMB Staff Writer Where are you from?

Honolulu How would you describe your style?

Comfortable, simple.

W hat’s your fashion inspiration or icon?

I don’t really have a fashion inspiration or icon; I just kind of wear whatever I feel confident and comfortable in.

Favorite thing to wear?

Skinny jeans and a loose top.

Favorite place to shop?

Zara, Urban Outfitters, Collins & 8th, Homecoming and church thrift stores.

What fashion trend irritates you the most?

Rubber slippers worn with a nice dress. Accessories make a huge difference.

What would you like to see more of on campus (style-wise)?

Individual style: I think people should draw away from the popularized trends and brands and instead focus more on what fits their body types.

Do you use any special soap/cosmetic product?

Yes, I use Clinique facewash and Lancome toner, followed by Bliss Energizing Cream. If I step outside, I’ll use Lancome High Resolution SPF15.

How long does it take you to get ready?

I’d say around 15 minutes.

Your dream fashion item (doesn’t actually need to exist): YSL medium cabas bag.

What draws you to bright colors?

I wear a lot of blacks and grays, and it gets a little boring, so I try to change it up from time to time.

Do you usually dress up or down for school?

It depends how I feel. Sometimes I just want to wear slouchy jeans and a f lowy shirt with a f lannel; other days, I’ll feel like wearing a dress and sandals. When I ride my bike to school, I dress down with jean shorts, T-shirt and Toms.

What do you look for when you go shopping?

Comfort and simplicity.

Anything else you can think of to say bout fashion in Hawai‘i on campus/going to school?

I think that in general, the fashion scene in Hawai‘i is gradually growing in terms of style and quality.

There’s a lot more local boutiques that opened up in downtown Honolulu that carr y a variety of style and even some brands from the mainland. I think it encourages us to step out of our comfort zones and tr y something different.

Just by looking at some students on campus, ever yone has their different and personal style. Even though we don’t really have dramatic seasonal changes in Hawai‘i, it ’s interesting to see Honolulu grow in terms of fashion by blending locally-made brands with the mainland brands, despite what season it is.

What brand is it, where’d you get it, and how much did you pay for it: Shoes: Black Poppy Leopard Salya Oxford Flats ($15.00) Pants: Hudson Jeans ($150.00) Shirt: Gap ($10.00) Necklace: Evening Invitation (birthday gift) Backpack: LeSportsac ($3.00 from thrift store) Shades: Purchased from Roberta Oaks. No specific brand. ($12.00)

This interview was conducted via email.

In the long-running IsraeliPalestinian conflict, the question is no longer whether or not to create a Palestinian state. Instead, the main contention has come down to border establishment.

This has been an ongoing issue for decades now, although Palestine has made great leaps forward on the path towards statehood.

Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas announced Saturday his intention to re-appeal for statehood in the West Bank, east Jerusalem and Gaza Strip. He intends to propose this bid to the United Nations, where the decision will be voted on by the UN Security Council.

BORDER DISPUTES Israel has gone on record several times saying that they are in support of a Palestinian state but have issues with the borders that

they are trying to establish. The main issue is that the Palestinians want to claim the borders that were established before the Six-Day War in 1967.

Several world leaders, including President Barack Obama, have supported a return to these borders, but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that these borders would create a crack in Israel’s defense.

It is impossible for the Palestinian people to be on a level playing field with the rest of the world–especially when it comes to international negotiations– without having some form of representation at the UN. The resulting violence that has occurred between Israel and Palestine is due, in part, to the marginalization that the Palestinian people have endured for so long.

E S TA B L I S H E D P R E S E N C E One of the arguments used by those who are in favor of Pal-

estinian statehood within the UN is that Palestine is already recognized internationally as a legitimate state by more than half of the world’s countries.

Even countries like the United States, who refuse to recognize Palestine as a legitimate state, still participate in open dialogue with the country and view them as an entity on an international level, although the United States has also vowed to veto any attempt at Palestinians obtaining statehood.

Another argument in favor of statehood is that it is the right of the people of Palestine to organize a state that is represented in the UN. Denying the Palestinian people these rights takes away their voice on a global stage.

By giving the Palestinian government the chance to appeal its case to an international forum, we are helping facilitate dialogue that may bring the greatest hope for a conclusion to the Palestinian-Israeli conf lict.

In defense of Hamilton Library Princeton Review ignores numbers in ranking report Opinions Desk Princeton Review’s poor ranking of Hamilton Library in its recent Best College Library list represents a flawed approach to reliable data collection. The study, conducted by Princeton Review, was based solely on student opinion and failed to consider the numbers: volumes and titles held and number of serials available, as well as other solid factors.

FAC T S OV E R F E E L I N G S The Association of Research Libraries’ 2008-2009 statistics report that the University of Hawai‘i’s library system (including the law and medical school libraries) contain 3,588,005 volumes and 2,270,600 titles.

Where does that place the University of Hawai‘i Library system compared to other academic institutions?

In terms of number of volumes, Hawai‘i is ranked 61 out of 114, holding more volumes than institutions such as Georgetown (67), Notre Dame (64) and University of California, Santa Barbara (82).

With regards to number of titles available, Hawai‘i is ranked 54 out of 93, holding more titles than Dartmouth (56), University of California, Irvine (66) and George Washington University (90).

These numbers indicate that – at least when it comes to hard figures – UH’s library system isn’t in the bottom 20.

W hile one may argue that volumes and titles do not alone make a librar y, it ’s difficult to see how 325 or so UH Mānoa students polled by Princeton Review could ser ve as a reliable and incontrovertible assessment of student opinion on the university’s librar y.

OFFERING UNNEEDED I N F O R M AT I O N Some may argue, however, that the survey conducted by Princeton Review shouldn’t be taken seriously. The survey asks questions with subjective qualifiers such as “Awful” and “Excellent” as answers, with topic names such as “Scotch and Soda, Hold the Scotch” and “Reefer Madness.”

Princeton Review even clarifies the difference between its ranking scale and rating scale: “Unlike our 62 ranking lists, which are based entirely on our student surveys, our eight rating scores are based primarily on our surveys of administrators at the schools who annually provide us with institutional data we request about their colleges.”

What’s troubling about this is that the ranking lists will appear with the rating scores in “ The Best 377 Colleges,” published by Princeton Review and available for purchase.

Information collected through institutional data and lists compiled by the surveys of a few hundred students will be in the same book, allowing the potential for these differences in survey methodology to be overlooked.

T his is not the only exa mple of quest ionable sur veydat a collect ion on P r inceton Rev iew ’s par t however. “ T he Best 30 0 P rofessors: From the #1 Professor R ating Site, R ate MyProfessors.com” is another book available for purchase that relies on questionable data for its listings.

When Princeton Review seems to be unfamiliar with the terms “selection bias” and “inadequate sample size,” putting these lists into books provides little to no informative value to the reader.

Princeton Review should combine the soft data of student surveys with hard figures relevant to these lists – maybe then Hamilton won’t hold the dubious distinction of being among the 20 lowest-rated college libraries.

The next day, Croson stayed solid with seven kills, eight digs, one block and a personal seasonbest .500 hitting percentage in the Rainbow Wahine’s win over Idaho.

Croson led the team in digs and was third in kills for the night, despite only playing two of the three sets.

“She’s key to our team and just the fact that she can sometimes carry our whole team on her shoulders; that is just great,” said Uiato. “She’s my fi rst go-to hitter and I think that just says it all.”

Croson currently has the second-most kills on the team behind fellow outside hitter Emily Hartong.

She is also sixth in the Big West Conference in kills and has more than any other sophomore or freshman in the conference.
