A benefit concert to raise funds for Ka Papa Lo‘i ‘o Kānewai, the Hawaiian Studies cultural garden and kalo terraces, will be held from 2-6 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 3. “It’s good for the students on campus, especially those in the dorms with nothing to do,” said Edward “Makahiapo” Cashman, Director of Ka Papa Lo‘i ‘o Kānewai. “It’s going to be a really fun ‘bring the whole family’ kind of day.” The resource center will be a two-part complex containing im-
proved pr prov oved ed learning lea earn rnin ing g facilities, faci fa cili liti ties es of offi fi ce space, restrooms and equipment storage. The estimated cost of the project is $1.3 million. The Kānewai Cultural Resource Center received a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development grant of $670,000 and is looking to raise the rest of the money with this and other events.
shortly after Saturday sh shor ortl tly y af afte terr this th is First F ir irst st S atur at urda day y event. Activities will include taro pounding and tours of the current facilities. Food vendors will be accepting donations. The concert lineup includes the Pua Hia Trio, a performance by Halau Mohala ‘Ilima, Keau Hou, Hi‘i Kua, the Two Wahine Serenaders, and Halau ‘o Nihi Mai I Ha‘e Ha‘e.

It’s something that is very important to me.” Cashman said he hopes the event will instill a sense of pride in students who attend the school. He mentioned that students come from the mainland to be in Hawai‘i, and some do not ever really learn about the authentic cultural aspect that comes with it. “I’m not saying this is the right way to learn about it all, but we’re the host culture, you know?” Cashman said. “We want students to build confidence and find their voice.”

CHASEN DAVIS / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
All 2,676 drug and alcohol violations on campus from 2009-2011 occured in dorms or other residential facilities. NAOMI L UGO Staff Writer Resident Assistants have received improved training after a recently released 2012 Annual Security and Fire Safety Report for the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa revealed a rise in crime numbers. “Our goal is to maintain an orderly community where people can sleep and study, and that right supersedes all the other rights,” said Nick Sweeton, associate director of residential life. These other rights include socializing and partying in dorm rooms, which can often lead to alcohol and drug use. Sweeton recognized a need for balance, but said, “That doesn’t mean we don’t value socialization.” According to Sweeton, more R As have been hired during a five-year period, and training for R As has improved, which he believes leads to better enforcement and documentation.
RISE IN CRIME The report contains 27 pages of general information, including campus security procedures, outlines of crimes and self-defense
advice and a breakdown of crimes that took place from 2009-2011. There was an increase in instances of aggravated assault from four in 2009 to 11 in 2010 and 16 in 2011. Forcible sex offenses also increased, with one reported in 2009 and a jump to 12 in both 2010 and 2011. Liquor law violations were reported at 524 in 2010 and 719 in 2011, an increase of 72 percent. Drug-related violations jumped from 238 violations in 2010 to 390 in 2011 for an increase of 61 percent. According to an Oct. 4 article on the Hawai‘i News Now website, UH Mānoa reports every person at a party as a violation, rather than only counting the party with drugs and alcohol. “It could be a party of 30 people, and then in that case that number would be 30 instead of just one,” Wayne Ogino, chief of Campus Security, told HNN. Paraphernalia is also documented as an instance of drug and alcohol violations, but Sweeton notes that “anything other than alcohol and marijuana is rare” in the dorms and apartments.

Eat ‘good’ at Sushi ii PAIGE TAKEYA Chief Copy Editor
4
Quality sushi does not often come with affordable prices. But Sushi ii, located next to Sikdorak in the Samsung Plaza on Ke‘eaumoku Street, offers an experience that is as “good” as its name would imply – and it could still cost you below $30.

Sushi ii is cozy. Four or fi ve tables and a sushi bar curve around the room. The restaurant could hold perhaps 20 people comfortably, which makes for a noisy environment during peak times. Sitting at the bar gives you a frontrow view of the fish selection of the day, as well as the opportunity to watch the chefs in action. The service at Sushi ii is efficient and courteous but not over -friendly. The waitresses hovered in the background, checked on us every fifteen minutes and refilled my water at least six times. The chefs were quiet and focused on their work, so they did not attempt to engage us, even if we did sit at the bar.
FOOD Sushi ii offers a rotating list of daily specials, including misoyaki butterfish and ahi ribs.

Sushi ii – which literally means “good sushi” in Japanese – is more than good. The negitoro roll (1) – a special of the day – was superb. The minimalist combination of plain ahi with wasabi and green onions tests the quality of both fi sh and rice. Sushi ii’s offering was fresh and devoid of the fi shy fl avor that plagues most unseasoned ahi, and the wasabi was strong without being overwhelming. The salmon skin roll (2) featured a large layered slice of lightly charred salmon skin – the texture was crispy and light with a mild salty salmon fl avor – paired with rice and some light greens.
The spicy ahi roll (3), while good, was not outstanding: The mix is light on mayonnaise and heavy on spice, which does no favors to their fish. The tamago nigiri (4) featured slices of sweet omelet twice the size of the rice. The unagi (fresh water eel) (5) is grilled right in front of you and is tender and well-seasoned. But the standout (and splurge) of our meal was the king salmon sashimi (6). Though pricey (10 slices for $18), this salmon was the best I’ve ever eaten. It was soft and so fatty it melted in your mouth, with a taste that started off mild but then blossomed with flavor. No shoyu required.
PRICE
If you choose to stick with their roll offerings – which all range between $8-$18 – then you can eat three or four rolls and still stay within a Ninja Sushi-style budget. The rolls are big and should satisfy your appetite. If you do want to splurge, then Sushi ii’s sashimi platters would be worth it. A deluxe sashimi set would set you back $40. A connoisseur with deep pockets may want to go for omakase. There’s no reason why college students shouldn’t eat well – and Sushi ii is an accessible and highquality option for sushi lovers.
Sushi ii Address: 655 Ke‘eaumoku St., Ste. 109 Hours: Wed-Sat 11 a.m.-2 p.m and 5 p.m.-10:30 p.m.; Sun 5 p.m.-10:30 p.m. Phone: 808-942-5350

“Wreck-It Ralph” is directed by Rich Moore, who also worked on “The Simpsons.”
JOSEPH H AN Staff Writer
“Wreck-It Ralph” doesn’t lose any tokens as Disney’s latest animated comedy with a tribute to video game nostalgia. While invoking Pixar sentiment and seriousness, this fi lm is both entertaining and heart-rending when the stakes are high and the outcome becomes more than a matter of winning or losing. Ralph ( John C. Reilly) faces a dilemma: He’s tired of being the bad guy demolishing the Niceland Apartment. His existential crisis is spawned by the monotony of his role as nemesis to the hammer-wielding Fix-It Felix ( Jack McBrayer) and can’t be helped by his “Bad-Anon” support group. After 30 years, Ralph wants change and doesn’t want to be thrown in the mud, sleep at the junkyard alone or face neglect from the Niceland residents who readily present pies and medals
to Felix and throw him cocktail parties at the penthouse. Traveling through power cords to Game Central Station, where characters are given access to the whole arcade, Ralph decides to win a medal so that he may gain respect from the residents of his game. His journey towards self-discovery leads him to “Hero’s Duty,” where he meets Sgt. Calhoun ( Jane Lynch), whose job is to fight off infectious game spiders called Cy-bugs, and Ralph seizes the opportunity to gain the recognition that he feels he deserves. Later, Ralph happens upon “Sugar Rush,” a “Mario Kart”inspired racing game, and meets Vanellope von Schweetz (Sarah Silverman), another character struggling for acceptance as a racer in a world where she is outcast as a glitch in the game. With his desire for acknowledgement, Ralph must negotiate between his own motives, deter-
mining if they are selfish or not, and Vanellope’s, as he fi gures out what it means to be a good guy, and whether bad guys are only coded to be destructive forces. Although the exciting gameplay-inspired animation, array of references and humorous situations bring expected entertainment, Ralph’s disappointment and neglect elicit sympathy. Ralph must decide what it means to be heroic in order to defi ne his own purpose in the way he is programmed. Through human trials and the urgency to succeed, this fi lm comes to life.
“Wreck-It Ralph” is now showing at Consolidated Kahala, Kapolei, Mililani, Pearlridge and Ward, and Regal Dole and Windward Stadium.

A different role My girlfriend and I have been dating for three years. Lately, she’s been wanting to experiment with role-playing, like pretending we’re strangers and meeting up as different people. I’m kind of uncomfortable with this. I feel like she thinks I’m not enough for her. Is this strange? How should I react to this? QUINCY GREENHECK Web Editor It’s understandable that you might feel uncomfortable with this, but try to consider that your discomfort might be premature. Let’s eliminate suspicion for the moment. Just because your girlfriend has an interest in role-playing doesn’t mean you’re not enough for her. Maybe you’re exactly what she needs, and that’s why she felt comfortable enough to share her fantasy with you. If this is the case, then take her invitation as a compliment and consider the fun that might come out of playing along. Here’s another thing to think about: At the end of any role-playing, it’s still you and her together, no one else. Instead of letting insecurities and fear dictate your reaction, keep an open mind. Talking to her would also be a good thing, but remember to keep your suspicions at the door. You don’t want to risk coming across as accusing her of improprieties. She may very well have for ave the the h best bes b st off intentions inte i tentions ti f r your relationship. relat l t
He said...
A RIEL R AMOS Managing Editor Role-playing takes a lot of trust and understanding. It is a show of trust that you agreed to role-play, but if you are feeling uncertain or uncomfortable, you need to tell your partner. Keep in mind that she is putting a lot of trust in you by wanting to play out a fantasy with you. Experimenting is healthy, but if you have concerns, you need to voice them. Ask her what it is that she fi nds appealing about role playing. Make it clear that you are concerned about whether she likes you for you or if she wants you to be someone else. If it is role-playing that makes you uncomfortable, start off slow. You could suggest talking about the scenarios in a hypothetical sense before acting it out. Talk to her about how you feel and see where it goes from there.

Laulima: lost opportunities S A R A H NISHIOK A Opinions Editor “Laulima” is the Hawaiian word for “cooperation” and literally means “many hands.” But the University of Hawai‘i web tool Laulima rarely lives up to its name: Insufficient use by professors and sporadic connection problems make it a detriment to learning – not an asset.
FA I L U R E T O C O O P E R AT E
Laulima provides professors and teaching g assistants with a dedicated workspace for classes that allows them to upload resources, accept assignments and post grades for each student. This allows faculty to make reading assignments and homework submission paperless for students – and possibly free. I have been in classes that did not require me to purchase textbooks because all of our reading assignments were posted on Laulima as PDF files. While not every book can be digitized for practical and legal reasons, the convenience of this system means that students can be fully accountable for their learning. They are not beholden to the bookstore or Amazon to get their textbooks; they only need to log into Laulima. But usage of Laulima is not mandatory for professors. Those who do not have an affinity for technology are not required to post their syllabus, let alone utilize the other features of the site that make it a resource distribution tool. The Teaching A nd L earning with Electronic Networked
Technologies program offers workshops for all UH faculty that explain how to use Laulima and other educational resources, but professors are not re quired to take these workshops or use the technology that the university pays to maintain.
U N W I S E I N V E S TM E N T ? Despite Laulima’s integration with MyUH and its status as an essential tool (like MyUH, students are required to be able to access it), little is done to ed-
ucate students about its benefits and pitfalls. TA LENT exists for faculty benefit, but while professors may take students to the librar y to learn about its resources, only a canned video lecture exists for students learning how to use Laulima. The site has a number of quirks that catch students by surprise. For example, copying and pasting text from Microsoft Word into a Laulima text box may result in garbled text and code markup language obscuring the actual words. The Laulima Student Tutorial tells students to click a discrete “Paste from Word” icon in order for their text to
paste correctly. This feature is so overlooked that it is posted on the front page of Laulima to remind users when they log in. Facebook and other common websites have no problem with pasting text. The university is relying on a website that cannot handle a basic function like copy and paste. In fact, Laulima does not even support YouTube integration; it instead favors Quicktime and Windows Media Player plugins – which are often incompatible with tablets p and smartphones. F u r t her more , the university relies on a website that is unreliable. Laulima must be taken off line every morning from 3-4 a.m. for “server backup and maintenance,” but outages still occur around 9 p.m. to midnight. Laulima claims that it will automatically log you out after two hours of inactivh ity, but attempting to switch course workspaces kicks me out during peak usage hours. I should be struggling with homework, not with the mechanism that allows me to turn in homework. The university needs to reconsider its reliance on Laulima. The functions it offers are convenient and essential to learning in a digital age, but its current execution leaves much to be desired.

Find the Rockefeller Republicans DAVIN AOYAGI Editor in Chief The old party isn’t looking so grand nowadays. Whether it’s Rep. Todd Akin’s comments that women can avoid pregnancy in situations of rape or Rep. Paul Brown’s characterizations of evolution and the big bang theory as being lies from hell, Republicans are being cast as socially conservative, ignorant and reactionary individuals. And as the party continues to move further to the right, it’s crucial to ask: What happened to the Rockefeller Republicans?
W H AT I S A RO C K E F E L L E R R E P U B L I C A N? A Rockefeller Republican, named after former Vice President Nelson Rockefeller, refers to a Republican that holds fiscally conservative and socially liberal views. Past examples of prominent Rockefeller Republicans include President Richard Nixon, who founded the Environmental Protection Agency, opened relations with Communist China and advocated a progressive income tax, as well as former Secretary of State Colin Powell, who held pro-choice views on the issue of abortion and supported same-sex marriage. There are some current politicians who could be considered Rockefeller Republicans, including Sen. Olympia Snowe of Maine, Sen. Scott Brown of Massachusetts and Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York City.
RISE OF THE RINO
find us on
The Rockefeller Republicans, however, died as a result of a shift in campaign strategy. In the 1970s, the Republicans started pursuing what has been called the Southern Strategy, a policy that successfully established the south as a base for Republicans. The result of this strategy has been the alienation of the Republican party on the national level. Thomas Schaller, a political science
U.S. NEWS
Former Vice President Rockefeller.
professor at the University of Maryland, commented on the flaws of the Southern Strategy. “[The Republicans have] become a Southernized party,” said Schaller in a New York Times article. “They have completely marginalized themselves to a mostly regional party.” That is not to say that Rockefeller Republicans are completely dead – they have been renamed RINOs, or Republicans in Name Only. The current Republican party has shifted so far to the right that the moderate elements of the party are seen as not embodying enough traits of the modern GOP. It’s no wonder that Powell has endorsed President Barack Obama for re-election and Michael Bloomberg declared himself an independent – there is no place for those men within the socially conservative right. There is, however, a clear advantage for a return of Rockefeller Republicans. Democrats are seen as being more supportive of women, according to a Carville-Greenberg poll conducted this year. But when it comes to fiscal issues, Republicans are still seen as having a better handling of the economy, according to Greenberg, Quinlan and Rosner Research. A return to a GOP that embraces fiscal conservatism and social liberalism means a return of a more palatable GOP. It’s time for the Rockefeller Republicans to return.

Rainbow Warriors are back The University of Hawai‘i Rainbow Warrior basketball team opens the season with an exhibition game against Hawai‘i Pacific tonight at 7 p.m. in the Stan Sheriff Center.
G UA R D
Key losses: Miah Ostrowski, Zane Johnson, Shaquille Stokes, Bobby Miles This year, Jace Tavita, Garrett Jefferson and Manroop Clair will compete for the starting job at point guard. Tavita is a 6 -foot, 4-inch transfer student from the University of Utah, who will bring size and depth to the position. Jefferson is a 6 -foot, 3-inch junior who came off the bench last season as a primary defender. Clair is a 6 -foot, 2-inch freshman from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. “I don’t need them to be sexy, I just need them to be solid,” said head coach Gib Arnold. Hauns Brereton is a returning starter, and will be looked to for leadership. “He [Brereton] has been the most solid this of f- season,” sa id A r nold.
F O RWA R D
Key losses: Joston Thomas, Trevor Wiseman Christian Standhardinger, a transfer student from the University of Nebraska, is a 6-foot, 8-inch junior who “has a really high motor, and he [Standhardinger] plays really hard,” according to Arnold. Freshman Isaac Fotu comes to the Rainbow Warriors from New Zealand. “He’s a young guy with a lot of skill,” Arnold said. This year, Standhardinger and Fotu will be competing for the starting job, and will look to replace Thomas and Wiseman.
CENTER
There is no surprise as to who will start for the ‘Bows at the center position. Senior Vander Joaquim came to Hawai‘i in 2010 and has established himself as a go-to player. Last year, Joaquim was the only Rainbow Warrior selected to the all-Western Athletic Conference first team. This summer, Joaquim went back to his native Angola to play for its national team.
“It [playing for Angola] was good. I had a good experience with the team; we all played hard. We didn’t make the Olympics, unfortunately, but we’re looking forward to 2016,” Joaquim said. Davis Rozitis also returns for the Warriors at the center position. This season, Rozitis will be expected to play more minutes and assume more of a leadership role. “He’s really smart, he knows what we want him to do,” said Arnold.

Hawai‘i prepares for shootout in Fresno

JOEY R AMIREZ Associate Sports Editor
ISMAEL MA / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
Mathematically, it is still possible for the Hawai‘i football team to make a bowl game. However, it would seem like the Warriors (1-6, 0-4 Mountain West) should start cancelling any postseason plans this year. “Win, lose or draw, we want to go out there and have fun and just play to the whistle,” said junior cornerback Mike Edwards. “That’s what coach [Norm] Chow implements in us and that’s what we love to do.” Edwards is the cornerstone of the Warrior defense, which will have to deal with Fresno State (6-3, 4-1 MWC) on the road this week. UH will need to limit the Bulldogs’ passing attack as junior quarterback Derek Carr ranks tenth in the country with 307.3 yards per game.
Fortunately for UH, amidst all of the negatives of this season, its defense has allowed just 1,294 passing yards, which is eighthbest in the nation. “They’re throwing the ball,” said Edwards. “Who wouldn’t be excited about that? As a defensive back this week, I’m so excited to [play].” Edwards has shut down his man on nearly every play this year as he leads the Mountain West in passes defended with 1.71 per game. Hawai‘i has also benefitted from the emergence of freshman safety Marrell Jackson, who has led the team with 17 tackles, two forced fumbles and a blocked punt in the past two games. “I’m still disappointed that we’re not coming through with a victory,” said Jackson. “Everybody’s a man, so [we have to] just go out there and play like a man.”
C A N ʼ T L O O K BAC K One area of concern for Hawai‘i is whether its offense can keep up if the Bulldogs frequent the end zone. UH is last in the conference in yards per game (302.4) and next-to-last in points per game (21.7). UH’s offensive struggles were highlighted in its 42-27 loss to Colorado State. Despite a defensive effort that held CSU scoreless and resulted in three turnovers and a blocked punt, the offense scored just six points and threw two interceptions that were returned for touchdowns in the second half. “[Fresno State is a] very talented, very athletic group,” said junior quarterback Sean Schroeder. “[They are] very aggressive, and they’re going to be a big test for us ... I like my odds in every game going in. I have confidence in all my teammates, and I have confidence in our defense that they’re not going to let it get into a shootout.”
