DAVIN A OYAGI Editor in Chief Students gained practical experience working with business owners and entrepreneurs by participating in Startup Weekend Honolulu, held on Sept. 28 -30. “We’re not just working with other students, we’re working with professionals … people that have startups already, graphic designers that have professional jobs, website developers, app developers … we’re just coming together,” said Kurt Cullen, a senior majoring in Interdisciplinary Studies focusing on entrepreneurship. Cullen participated in Startup Weekend as part of a team producing an application called Tudah. Team Tudah, consisting of seven people, aimed to produce an application that would allow tutoring services in different languages. Over the course of 54 hours, Tudah and nine other teams pitched ideas, developed business models and produced mobile applications. “It’s [the process] really chaotic – there’s a lot more components than you think there are,” said Kevin Shin, a senior majoring in mechanical engineering and the leader of Cullen’s team. However, for students such as Jessica Ching, a junior majoring in marketing, the process was a rewarding experience. “This has definitely given me a lot of real-life experience in terms of starting a business, even just working ... [with] problems [such as] revenue streams and pivoting ideas,” Ching said.
‘Startup’ a career
PRIZES AND PRODUCTS Following the creation of a social networking site related to the product and the design of a business model, each of the teams presented to a panel of judges with
business expertise. Local judges included Robert Robinson, founder of the Hawai‘i Angels and a professor of management at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, and Greg Gaug, a senior investment associate with Ulupono Initiative, an investment firm focused on renewable energy. Former judges such as JJ Niebuhr, coowner of JJ Dolans, were also present at Startup Weekend and discussed some of the challenges faced by the teams. Niebuhr said, “There are some quite innovative and new stuff coming out, but a lot of what we’ve seen here is making existing apps or existing services better. … [What we’re looking for is] what makes yours different from what’s already there, and what is the user experience with it [the teams’ products]?” Cedric Fonville, a freshman majoring in finance, placed third in the competition as part of team Move me or else. His team designed an alarm clock application for smartphones that forces people to move the smartphone several feet before shutting off. “We’re trying to sell it … by saying it’s a little step above the traditional [alarm clock app] because it’ll improve your effectiveness in waking up on time because people have a tendency today to overutilize the snooze button on their phone,” Fonville said. Fonville encouraged students to attend the next Startup Weekend Honolulu event, to be held in April 2013. “I think it’s a good learning tool for anybody who’s actually aspiring to be creative … [It’s also] a good way to mingle and get to know people and get advice and education,” Fonville said.

Kanu Hawai‘i gets M AILE BELONGIE Staff Writer Kanu Hawai‘i, an organization founded to promote and create a “hands-on” future for the youth of Hawai‘i, is bringing attention to voting at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. “People don’t vote for three reasons: One, because it’s an inconvenience, two, because they don’t really have information about the candidates, and three, because they feel like their vote doesn’t matter,” Kanu Hawai‘i volunteer Aislinn Coleman said. “What Kanu is trying to do is solve all of those problems.” Though Kanu tries to make the idea of voting appealing to students by supporting local food production and promoting the recycling effort, the group’s goal at UH Mānoa was to get students registered to vote. “On a macro scale, the idea how democracy supposed of h ow d emoc em ocra racy cy iiss su supp ppos osed ed
to work in the USA is broken,” Kanu Hawai‘i Vice President Alani Apio said. “This makes people feel helpless, like they can’t do anything to change it. They’re already struggling to make ends meet ... and voting just isn’t the first thing on heir minds. The voter turnout in Hawai‘i has consistently been one of the lowest, if not the lowest, in the nation. And that includes the student population as well.”
S P R E A D T H E WO R D
Kanu received voting presentation requests from around the island but was not able to accommodate all of them. It distributed three forms during its presentations: a voter registration form, an absentee ballot and a form for students to receive emails about candidate information. Kanu’s mission was to talk to students and find out what issues they had with the government, ment me nt, state stat st atee or nation, n at atio ion n , and a nd create c re reat atee

students in political process back to Kanu. It then used that information to notify students of the candidates who aligned most with their individual views. “People think they don’t have power to change things,” said Aiko Yamashiro, an English graduate student and Kanu volunteer. “This is our future, you know. We live here. I’m just so scared about these decisions that get made; they impact where we will live. We need to get involved somehow. We need to recognize our power, and use it.”
T H E P OW E R O F O N E Kanu reported that many students think that their vote will not make any difference, but there have been cases where entire elections were won by margins of 50 votes or fewer. This is discussed during its presentations to convince students to get involved, as students who feel they can make a difference are more likely to take action.
“When you take these steps to be a part of making a positive impact, I think you start to see that it becomes addictive, and you want to do more,” U.S. Senate candidate Tulsi Gabbard said. “You want to be a part of more and understanding that this is really our responsibility.”
IN THE LOOP Kanu plans to help students keep track of the elected candidates’ actions via a “loop of accountability.” This will provide a link between students and the government, hopefully decreasing any disappointment students have with officials when things are not going as planned. “I’ve heard from people, and I’ve heard from national media, ‘President Obama got everyone excited, but then they feel let down.’ Maybe he didn’t accomplish everything he was going to, or he compromised too much on different issues,” Gabbard
said. “[This is] the challenge that we [as politicians] have. It’s not just about winning a campaign, it’s bigger than that, it’s bigger than politics – because it’s about life.”

Dining out may be a time to indulge, but try to keep your meals in check even at a restaurant. If you’re looking to enjoy a dinner out while still keeping your healthy habits, here are a few alternatives that will make your meal healthier without sacrificing taste.

Invite you to attend an advance 3D screening of
In Hawai‘i, white rice is a staple. However, to get white rice, raw rice is stripped of much of its original nutritional value and, according to a 2010 study by the Har vard School of Public Health, is associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes when five or more ser vings are consumed in one week. W hile it would be difficult to give up rice completely, there is an alternative that is becoming widely available in restaurants: brown rice. The same HSPH study concluded that eating two or more ser vings of brown rice a week is associated with a re duced risk of type 2 diabetes.

Many people opt for salads as a healthy alternative to an entrée. However, efforts are often wasted because the salad is drowning in dressing. Popular dressings such as Ranch and Caesar are high in calories and should be used sparingly (the recommended ser ving size is two tablespoons). Instead, ask the server for some lemon wedges. A squeeze of lemon juice can add a zesty fl avor to your salad without the extra calories. You can also ask for olive oil and use a small amount of both to create a light alternative. If you

According to avocado.org, avocados contain about 20 essential nutrients, including fiber, potassium, vitamin E, B-vitamins and folic acid. must have dressing, go for low-fat Italian or vinaigrette, which pack flavor and have low amounts of calories and fat. Be sure to ask for the dressing on the side and use only a little at a time.
E AT L E A N It would be easy to say that chicken and fish are better for the body than beef, but there are many factors that can affect the health benefits (or detriments) of food. Your best bet is to do some research before dining out. Beef has more calories and saturated fat, but it is also an excellent source of protein. Chicken and fish may be healthier, but the way they are prepared determines their nutritional value. Frying – or worse, deep-frying – your food may taste great, but this method of cooking can turn a healthy food into something dangerous. If you’re going to eat beef, go for a leaner cut with less fat. For chicken and fish, ask for it
grilled or baked instead of fried and keep sauces to a minimum.
E N D W I T H F R E S H F RU I T S
Ever yone has a second stomach just for dessert, but that doesn’t mean you should stuff it with the richest, sweetest option on the menu. Some restaurant desserts have enough sugar and calories to compensate for an entire day’s worth of intake. If the name of the dessert sounds amazing (for example, Cheesecake Factor y’s Chocolate Tower Truff le Cake), that probably means it ’s not ver y good for you. End your dining experience on a sweet but healthy note by opting for fresh fruits instead of a decadent dessert. Many restaurants offer this on the menu and many more would be willing to accommodate you. Fruits can satisfy that sweet tooth craving and don’t have the extra sugar and fat that comes with most desserts.

Good without the grease C HANEL H EBARU Staff Writer
Do you get cravings for a greasy temptation when walking by Campus Center’s Pizza Hut? Rest easy and put away the self-restraint: Here is a healthy and versatile pizza recipe for any occasion. Pile on your favorite vegetables and enjoy.
INGREDIENTS: Dough (yields two pizzas): 2 cups whole-wheat flour ½ cup all-purpose flour 1 packet (¼ oz) active dry yeast ¼ tsp salt 1 cup warm water 1 Tbsp olive oil 2 tsp cornmeal 1 tsp honey 2 Tbsp seasonings of choice (I used garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning and thyme)
Suggested toppings (per pizza): 2 Tbsp pesto 2 Tbsp shredded mozzarella cheese 3 small bell peppers 12 grape tomato halves ¼ cup frozen peas 1 cup chopped romaine lettuce
I N S T RU C T I O N S : 1. Sprinkle yeast on top of warm water. Wait for 10 -15 minutes until foamy. 2. Pour yeast mixture into a large bowl and add f lour, salt, seasonings, honey and olive oil. 3. Mix ingredients until it reaches doughy consistency. 4. Sprinkle a little f lour on top and knead with hands until dough is elastic and smooth. 5. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let sit in a warm area for 25 minutes. 6. Split dough in half. Lightly grease two pizza pans and sprinkle with cornmeal.
7. Stretch each mound of dough until it reaches edge of pan. 8. Pre -bake at 425 degrees for eight minutes. 9. Add sauce and toppings (except for lettuce). 10. Bake again at 425 degrees for 15-20 minutes until crust is toasted. 11. Sprinkle lettuce on top. Cut, serve and enjoy.
TIPS: If you only want to make one pizza, save the other half of the dough for later by putting it in the freezer. Spread a little olive oil on plastic wrap and pull it tightly around the dough before freezing. When ready to use, leave dough out at room temperature until it defrosts. You can also use a regular baking sheet instead of a pizza pan, and spread the dough as thin as desired. Use your favorite vegetables or any that you already have around the house – be creative.

‘Obamney’ vs. Gary Johnson

DIFFERENT FACE, SAME GAME
THE IAN MACMILLAN WRITING CONTEST
ROMAN K ALINOWSKI Contributing Writer
$500 FOR WINNING POETRY SUBMISSION $500 FOR WINNING PROSE SUBMISSION
Have you heard of former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson? If the answer is “no,” you are not alone. Almost all major presidential polling organizations and mainstream media outlets have neglected to even mention his name. This election, you have a choice between two nearly identical candidates – President Barack Obama, a Democrat, and Republican challenger Mitt Romney – and Libertarian Gary Johnson. The word “Libertarian” may sound scary, so consider some of these questions first: Do you think we should bring our troops home immediately? Do you support the closure of Guantanamo Bay? Are you angry that the Federal government can view all your electronic communications and then detain you indefinitely without a lawyer or trial? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then surprise: You may be a Libertarian.

A third option is needed in this election because Obama and Romney are essentially the same candidate. Despite Obama’s teenage marijuana use, he has shut down more than twice as many legal cannabis dispensaries in California and Colorado as former President George W. Bush, Romney also opposes marijuana legalization. Romney created the template for Obamacare while serving as governor of Massachusetts. Both candidates supported the corrupt Troubled Asset Relief Program bailouts that artificially propped up several corporations, and the national debt has increased by fi ve trillion dollars under the current administration. The president claims to support diplomacy with Iran while continually pushing economic sanctions, which can be a prelude to war. If elected, Romney would bomb Iran as soon as possible.

The Patriot and National Defense Authorization Acts (which basically erase the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution) are strongly supported by both candidates. They’re in agreement on armed intervention in Libya, Yemen and Syria. If you examine the Democratic and Republican presidential tickets, you will fi nd that the only major difference between the two is the issue of gay marriage.
A THIRD OPTION Johnson currently polls at six percent support nationally, and he has double digit support in swing states, but that could change if he is allowed into the televised presidential debates this month. Lawyers for the Johnson campaign filed a lawsuit with the Commission on Presidential Debates, which has held debates for every election since
1988. The CPD is run by a former Republican or Democratic chairman, and has successfully managed to keep other parties out of the debates, with the exception of Ross Perot in 1992. Since the position of President and Vice President are paid positions, the lawsuit was filed under the Sherman Anti-Trust Act, alleging that both parties are conspiring to form a duopoly by restricting access to the debates. If upheld, the CPD must include Johnson, Green Party candidate Jill Stein, and Constitution Party candidate Virgil Goode – or cancel the debates. As a result of the lawsuit, Phillips Electronics and ten other major sponsors of the presidential debates have pulled their support to dissociate themselves from the partisanship of the CPD. At the time of print, the debates will continue as scheduled with Obamney. Johnson is believable be-
cause of his accomplishments in New Mexico. He vetoed 750 bills (32 percent of all bills) while in office and was reelected as a Republican in a state that votes 2:1 for Democrats. He also cut taxes 14 times, left office with a budget surplus and cut 1,200 government jobs without firing anyone. He can talk the talk today because he has been walking the walk since 1994. Johnson has qualified for the ballot in 47 states and Washington D.C., and is litigating the other three; the Green and Constitution parties only have ballot access in half the states. On Nov. 6, you can waste your vote on Obamney and enjoy another four years of undeclared war, unrestricted spending and the erosion of basic civil liberties – or you can vote Gary Johnson for President and support a balanced budget, peace, freedom from intrusive government and legal marijuana.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR The ‘prejudice’ problem: removing bigotry from politics In the Oct. 1 letter to the editor concerning the issue of religion in politics, there were, I feel, a few points of argument which were at best misleading, and at worse, patent falsehoods.
Foremost comes the suggestive nature of the graphic – a dollar bill, with “In God We Trust” encircled. No mention of God actually appeared on our currency until 1883 – the app change of motto was wa brought on by religious fervor in the wake of the Civil Wa War, and is generally regarded as a dark moment in American America history when the First Amendment, which effectively disjuncts any and all religion from government, was ignored. govern Before that time, the nation’s motto B was w “E pluribus unum” – Out of many, one: the decidedly more secular motto which was suggested in 1776. Furthermore, when referencing Jefferson’s remark concerning “Nature’s God,” it is important to remember that Jefferson was a deist – he did
not proscribe to the “revealed” religions, their priests or their institutions, and he believed religion was a matter to be kept strictly private. Further, Thiel espouses as fact that every individual is influenced by religious principles – effectively disenfranchising 1.5 percent of all Americans from personhood. Finally, as to the remark concerning the “political reality” of religion having a place in politics, I would simply like to reiterate the first few words of the First Amendment. “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.” Religion does not belong in politics, and to attempt to bring it into politics is, well, rather unlawful.

cally the defending WAC champions, so again we have big goals. They’re motivated to achieve those goals, very motivate those goals is winning the and one of tho Big West. It’s a tough conference, and we have a lot of work to do and they know it. We lost a few players from last year, but I told them we’re not going to wait for anyone to join us. They up and make it happen.” have to step u
ʻD E F I N I T E LY L D OA B L E ʼ A loss for the Rainbow Wahine is the unexpected unexpect departure of sophomore Jamie Pa Pawid, a key contributor to last year’s con conference-winning squad. “Jamie leaving lea us surprised us a little because it i was late when she mentioned it to us,” us said Hernandez. “But b again, I believe that these girls are eno good enough, and they’re definitely workin working hard. We’ve had some players join us this semester, and a few more in January, so I’m really looking forw forward to starting. We have a lot to do, but it’s definitely doable.” The Rainb Rainbow Wahine will look to senior Katarina Poljakova for leadership. Poljakova was a first-team All-WAC performer last season. sea
“We’re going to be working everyday like we did last year, just trying to do our best and accomplishing our goals,” said Poljakova. “First [goal] would be to win the Big West, so we’re going to do everything we can, and that starts with working hard.”
PAV I N G T H E I R WAY The road ahead is rough for the Rainbow Wahine, who must march on without Pawid, who finished 21-10 in singles matches during her freshman year and 16-13 in doubles. “We want to prove everyone wrong,” said Poljakova. “In other people’s minds, they have this picture of Hawai‘i as being laid back and not working as much or as hard. So every time we go on the court, I want to prove the other teams wrong.” Hard work is the theme for the Rainbow Wahine this year, as they strive to accomplish even more than last year’s record-setting team. “I always preach to the girls that there are no shortcuts to success,” said Hernandez. “Everyday they have to work hard and keep learning.
Both Poljakova and Hernandez look to ensure that the ‘Bows will build upon their 15-7 mark from last season, rather than regress from it. “At the end of last season, we realized that while we accomplished a lot, being ranked and winning the WAC, but at the end of the day, we lost in the first round of the NCA As to Notre Dame,” said Hernandez. “ They’re not content. That bitter taste is a good motivator for anybody. Once you’re content, you don’t work as hard. This group is not content with what we accomplished last year, and we’re looking forward to doing even better.” “I don’t really know much about the teams in the Big West, just that they’re going to be tougher than the teams in the WAC,” said Poljakova. “But it doesn’t really matter, we’re just going to have to go out there and beat them.”
UP NEXT Hawai‘i will open their fall season with the Rainbow Wahine Tournament from tomorrow until Saturday. Participating teams include Hawai‘i, BYUHawai‘i, Chaminade and HPU.

‘Look’ing ahead, setting goals for the future Junior midfielder/defender Karli L ook’s hard work during her career paid off – but not on the stat sheet. L ook played in ever y match during her career at the University of Hawai‘i and started in 46 of 48 of them. But because of her position on the field, she has racked up just one goal and four assists in her career. “Sometimes [it’s frustrating],” Look said. “But it’s rewarding when everyone else does well. We work hard for the team. It’s not a personal thing. “I’ve learned so much over the years having different coaches and playing different positions. I just have gained so much knowledge of the sport and I have a lot more respect for different positions now knowing how defense has to do their part and it’s not as easy as it looks. Midfield has to do a lot of running and forwards have to work their butts off. I’ve really taken into consideration how hard everyone is working instead of just my position.”
“Ever y team has an En“Every ergizer Bunny and that ’s Karli,” head coach Michele Nagamine said. “She’s always happy. She always brings her best and she’s fiercely competitive. Sometimes it can be a scar y Energizer Bunny.”
PLAYING AT PUNAHOU The 2010 Punahou graduate is used to contributing in areas that do not light up stat sheets. In her senior year for the Buffenblu, L ook was named the Interscholastic L eague of Honolulu’s Defensive Player of the Year by the Honolulu Advertiser. “ That was my first year playing defense – my senior year,” L ook said. “I was more of a defensive midfielder. It ’s really different playing de fense at UH because the level is a lot more harder. You have a lot more pressure on you. You can’t just keep dribbling around like high school.” And Look’s play was vital for the Buffenblu. Punahou captured the 2009 and 2010 state titles. In 2010, Punahou squeezed past Mililani in the championship match, winning 2-1 (4-3 PK)
in double-overtime. Look scored the Buffenblu’s only goal. “It was really exciting,” Look said. “Everyone’s adrenaline was just pumping. We were all working hard. We just wanted to get the ball in the back of the net, and I was just glad someone could do it. It was me but it was like a team effort.” A nd L ook carried the same mentality to Mānoa. “Karli L ook is all about the team – anything she can do to help,” Nagamine said. “She will play outside-mid. She will play center-mid. She will play outside-back. I’m sure if we asked her to go in the goal – she’ll go in the goal. She’s just a ver y self less player.” Nagamine coached for Kamehameha-Kap ā lama prior to coming to UH and remembered facing Look and Punahou during ILH competition. “She made me miserable for four years,” Nagamine said.

“She was always the player on the other team that I looked to try and neutralize and mark up. Even knowing how good she was we still had a hard time containing her … I’m glad she’s on my team now.”
SETTING THE STAGE With one and a half seasons of eligibility remaining, Nagamine has lofty goals for Look. “We’ve relied on her since her freshman year,” Nagamine said. “She’s been an integral part of the lineup. As we get to the [middle of conference play] we’ve been working on building the leadership, taking control of situations, delegating responsibilities and being more communicative on the field. A number of Karli’s goals has been on working to become a better leader. She realizes that her time to make an impact is getting shorter, so she wants to be the best that she can, all the time.”
Look and the Rainbow Wahine host UC Riverside and Cal-State Fullerton this Friday (7 p.m.) and Sunday (5 p.m.). Both matches will be at the Waipi‘o Peninsula Soccer Stadium.
BRUCE DIRDEN / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
Junior Karli Look (Punahou ‘10) is currently second on the team in minutes played with 1,129 so far this season. Look and the Rainbow Wahine are currently 5-5-2 and 0-1 in Big West Conference play.
