JA N . 17: HARASSMENT A male UH professor called Campus Security at 3:59 p.m. regarding letters he had received from a former female student, claiming that the student harassed and threatened him in the letters. The professor previously filed a no-contact order against the student in 2002 when she came to his workplace with a knife – the woman was arrested that day – but the order expired in 2004. Referred to HPD.

The victim reported that after she walked into the bathroom, her friend saw the perpetrator trying to look at her from under the stall. The man saw the friend and fled the scene. A third woman reported seeing him earlier outside of the third-floor women’s restroom in Kuykendall. He is described as being in his early twenties, 5 -foot-2, 140 lbs., thin light-skinned with black hair and wearing glasses, an aloha shirt and khaki pants.

Plato’s Closet AYUMI ESTHER K IM Contributing Writer Plato’s Closet, which just opened on Beretania Street, offers a variety of new and used namebrand clothing and accessories at reasonable prices – it’s not a fresh concept, but the store has done well on the mainland, where it remains a fast-growing franchise. As a Los Angeles native, I love thrift stores and consignment shops, so I knew that I had to visit this trending store – and I wasn’t disappointed.

SELECTION AND SHOPPING EXPERIENCE Whether you’re looking for shoes for a friend’s wedding or a clubbing outfit, Plato’s Closet is packed with trendy options – the store has a policy of only accepting used items within 18 months of their original purchase. Although Plato’s Closet is comparable to TJ Maxx, having a more affordable, youthcentered image without the

home and children’s goods, there were still several older women going through the merchandise. If you need assistance or suggestions, employees are helpful and create a welcoming atmosphere where every customer is greeted as they walk through the door.

PRICE Shopping at Plato’s Closet is cheaper than going to Forever 21 and has a better selection of styles for men and women, and the original price tags are still attached. Garments were selling for a fraction of their original retail price. I saw Women’s Air Jordan shoes from $12-$21, a new Bebe dress for $18 and Betsey Johnson purses for half the price of what Ross charges. I couldn’t leave the store without picking up a few things.

SELLING The only downside to Plato’s Closet comes at a cost to potential sellers. Having asked a few people about their experience, most have been disappointed by the small number of items

that the store chooses to buy and the prices they offer for what they do take. The store sells their merchandise at a lower cost, so it’s rare for consigners to receive what they think is a fair price for their items. If you want to get rid of some clothes or you’re in need of some quick cash, it might not hurt to try Plato’s Closet, but most people have found it easier to donate unwanted items to Goodwill. I am sure that as Plato’s Closet receives more business, it will be open to buying more from its customers. Overall, I had a refreshing shopping experience at Plato’s Closet. I can’t wait to go back to see what new items come in and other steals that may await.

Sen. Akaka: retirement long overdue K ENDRICK G O Contributing Writer We’ve all known someone who was courteous, hardworking and dependable, perhaps with the ambition to become a senator. That person has good intentions – but doesn’t fulfill the obligations as well as expected. A person like this would be Sen. Daniel Akaka, who spent more than 30 years in the Senate establishing seniority while stagnating in effectiveness – a combination that resulted in mediocrity in comparison to his colleagues. Akaka’s legacy should push future Hawai‘i politicians to be greater.

An article published by The New York Times last month on Akaka did not cover his contributions to Hawai‘i or the United States in general. Rather, the article observed that his name was first on the Senate roll call and that he would never have the notoriety achieved by his colleague, the late Sen. Daniel Inouye. A few days later, a piece on Inouye illustrated the severe consequences Hawai‘i could see without its secondlongest serving senator at its helm. Inouye’s role as the chair of the Appropriation Committee, which is responsible for allocating federal funds to government organizations around the nation, and his place as president pro tempore, were remarkable accolades. In contrast, Akaka will be known for having failed to pass his namesake Akaka Bill, which would have given federal recognition to Native Hawaiians and allowed them to establish their own government. Support for the bill faltered among politicians because it was racially based; even the Native Hawaiian community did not support the bill.

N E W FAC E S, N E W OPPORTUNITIES In criticizing Akaka, it is important to keep in mind that Hawai‘i,

which has been a state for 53 years, has had only seven senators. Three of the changes in Hawai‘i’s Senate delegation were the result of an election – the two other changes were due to the deaths of former Sen. Spark Matsunaga and Inouye. When former Rep. Ed Case challenged Akaka for his seat in 2006, it was a close race that displayed a changing attitude toward Akaka’s leadership despite the Democratic establishment opposing Case’s candidacy. It raises the question: What could Hawai‘i have been like if Sen. Akaka had only been a two- or even three-term senator, allowing fresh faces to represent Hawai‘i? Newly appointed Sen. Brian Schatz, Inouye’s successor, was the CEO of Helping Hands Hawai‘i and lieutenant governor for two years y – not much professional nal exex xperience compared to most senators. Sen. n.. Mazie Hirono, Aka-ka’s successor, has legislative and govv-erning experience ce as former lieutenant ntt governor and three eee terms as U.S. House se Representative. They will be expected to bring in federal money, in the form of military y spending, to continue road and sewerr repairs and to o raise thee bar baar

for education. Failure to meet these expectations may allow potential contenders, such as Deputy Director of the Hawai‘i Department of Land and Natural Resources Esther Kia‘aina, to take one of their seats.

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE Voters now have the opportunity to witness the growth of our newest senators. Our new delegation needs to fulfi ll their promises to the best of their abilities. Hawai‘i cannot afford to keep another mediocre leader in Congress. Though it may not be true that Congress consists of the best 535 leaders in the nation, Hawai‘i can still select the best four leaders amongst us to make an impact on the other 531 politicians and help them focus on their constituents instead of party affi liations. Credit is due not only to the lleader who can earn the respect of their peers and display the aloha spirit, d but b also to the leader who can retire with w grace and give a new g generation a chance to g bring positive change to t the t nation.

US NEWS REMEMBERING

Akaka served as Hawai‘i’s U.S. House representative from 1977-1990 and senator from 1990-2013.

Opinions “I’m a senior in college, and I’ve never had a significant other. In fact, no one’s ever been interested in me romantically, as far as I know. People tell me not to worry because this means I can focus on my studies more, and they say I’m not missing out on much anyway, but sometimes I would like to experience for myself whether the grass is greener on the other side. Flirting and relationships seem to come so naturally for most people, but given my lifetime experience of being the literal embodiment of that “Forever Alone� meme, it just isn’t that way for me. Should I be worried and make more of an effort, or should I just let things happen as they will?� QUINCY GREENHECK Web Editor

A RIEL R AMOS Special Issues Editor

Hoping that things will fall into place helps us to avoid getting our hopes up and can make us complacent or unwilling to be active in trying to improve our lives. While it may be safe to assume that irting and dating is easy for others, you might also be overlooking the inherent difďŹ culties many face even when it appears to be effortless – most people don’t get into relationships by waiting for things to happen. We learn to approach others by initiating conversation or irting while taking on the risk of being rejected. Don’t worry that you haven’t had a signiďŹ cant other; worry if you’ve given up on the prospect of being with someone. Try expanding your social circle, start conversations with strangers and tap into your self-worth. If someone comes along that you like, ask him or her out and you’ll get closer to what you want.

The saying “Good things come to those who waitâ€? doesn’t apply to most cases. Success stories are rarely about opportunities that fall into people’s laps. Those are the exceptions, not the rule. The rule is that you have to work hard. Make more of an effort to go out and meet people. Talk to someone you ďŹ nd interesting, and if that goes well, continue to build that relationship even if it starts off as a friendship. The more people you meet, the more opportunities you will have to ďŹ nd someone you may be compatible with. Join a club for something you are passionate about to encounter more like-minded people. If you’re shy, join a friend when he or she goes out, or attend gatherings with a group of friends.

Warriors prepare for tidal Waves M ADDIE SAPIGAO Staff Writer The University of Hawai‘i men’s volleyball team (1-6, 0-4 Mountain Pacific Sports Federation) is recovering after dropping both of its road matches against No. 7 Long Beach State (5-2, 3-1 MPSF) last week. “We have the capability of playing with any team in the league; we just have to learn how to fi nish a game,” sophomore middle blocker Davis Holt said. “Plus, the other teams in the league this year are all pretty even. The team that plays the hardest wins.” After facing the 49ers, the Warriors focused more on offense. “We got a lot of work on our serve receive and getting our offense in sync,” junior outside hitter Jace Olsen said. Two weeks ago, Hawai‘i took

down No. 4 UCLA in a five-game match. But playing on the road, the Warriors haven’t had much success. In two road trips, the Warriors have been on the receving end of four losses.

L O O K I N G F O RWA R D Despite a disappointing weekend, the Warriors will look to pull off a UCLA-style upset against No. 2 Pepperdine (3-1, 3-1 MPFS). The Waves are led by junior outside hitter Kyle Gerrans, senior opposite Maurice Torres, sophomore outside hitter and Punahou alumnus Josh Taylor. This match is personal for the UH players who have ties with their opponents. Taylor, Holt, junior opposite and transfer from Pepperdine Ryan Leung and junior setter Joby Ramos all played club volleyball together at Kuikahi. “It’s going to be just like last year

and high school.” Ramos said. “We’re going to exchange some words at the net, but it’s all just for fun. It’s like friendly competition, just like practice, but only tougher.” “Our boy Ryan Leung is from Pepperdine and they have a local guy on their squad, so there is some motivation for these upcoming matches,” Olsen said. Pepperdine is considered one of the toughest teams in the nation, but home court advantage and a bit of extra motivation could help Hawai‘i. “We also have to play hard at home because home wins are the most important, especially cause Josh Taylor is on Pepperdine and me, Ryan [Leung] and Joby [Ramos] played club with him,” Holt said. “So we have to win.” The first match is scheduled for Friday at 7 p.m., and the second is set to begin at 5 p.m. on Sunday.

Sophomore opposite JP Marks leads the Warriors with 3.07 kills per set. KENT NISHIMURA KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
