after-hours rules in Sinclair Library aim for

safety

M AT THEW SYLVA Senior Staff Writer “NO ID* NO ENTRY NO EXCEP TIONS” signs were posted at the front desk and throughout the Sinclair Library at the beginning of the fall 2012 semester to keep non-students out of the library during non-public hours – and offi cials believe the policy is working.

“Students that attend the university were complaining that non-students were in the library late at night, and they felt unsafe,” said Edythe Ka‘anapu, head of circulation at Sinclair Library. “But we’ve had this policy for several years; it just didn’t happen last semester,” See Sinclair, page 2

Sinclair ID policy enforced from page 1

The policy requires patrons to produce a valid UH ID between 9 p.m. to 6:30 a.m., when the library is closed to the public. UH libraries are open to the public, like the rest of the campus, during normal operating hours.

But anyone – student or not – without a UH ID on their person will be asked to leave the librar y af ter 9 p.m. T his is a no exceptions policy, meaning that even UH students who want to enter the librar y af ter 9 p.m. will need to have their UH ID or be denied entr y.

Ka‘anapu said that the library tried to enforce the policy more last semester due to safety concerns.

“For protection of our students and faculty, we felt that it was necessary to really enforce it at night, instead of having people sleep in the library,” Ka‘anapu said. “So our guards are instructed to tap people who are sleeping or who are lying down on the f loor or couches.”

VISIBLE EFFECTS

Although the enforcement increase of the existing policy is supposed to provide security, some students are still unaware that the rule exists.

“To be honest with you, I just found out about it [the policy] about fi ve minutes ago when I came here. … It’s only effective during times I’m not here anyway,” senior journalism major Trajan Agrippa said.

Agrippa added that the policy would have kept him out be cause he had not validated his student ID. “Personally, it would be detrimental [to me] because I wouldn’t be able to study somewhere because some of the other places are really noisy and hard to study at,” Agrippa said.

Yakitori Glad COMPILED BY CAITLIN KURODA Features Editor

If you’re fond of chicken, Yakitori Glad may be the place for you. This Japanese bar restaurant on Kapahulu Avenue specializes in grilled chicken, and they make use of every part of it. From taste to value to service, there is little to find fault with, and you’ll leave feeling glad that you came.

ATMO S P H E R E Initially, Yakitori Glad ap pears to be ver y compact with only tables for small groups, but there is a hidden back area with more seating for larger parties. T he restaurant is brightly lit and filled with customers ranging from college crowds to older couples and young families. Many people come here for drinks – the noise level can get quite high – but it just adds to the lively atmosphere.

PRICE

Yak itor i Glad’s ma in sell ing point is that ever y thing is $3.9 0, and they mean ever ything: skewers (t wo st icks per order), sides and dr inks (even dif ferent sizes of beer) all sell for the same pr ice. I was skept i cal at f irst , think ing that a low unifor m pr ice meant that the por t ions would be small and of mediocre qualit y. However, the generous amounts given make for a fa irly cheap meal. T he bill for my par t y of si x came out to $130 including t ip, and we were f ully sat isf ied w ith the amount of food and dr inks we consumed.

E V E RY PA R T Salty, flavorful and hot off the grill, Yakitori Glad’s chicken is delicious and addicting. The menu consists of many different parts of the chicken – thigh, tail, heart and cartilage, to name a few – served in a variety of ways. I enjoyed the momo glad yaki (grilled chicken thigh) with salt seasoning. This is one of the best values on the menu because it comes with large pieces of meat paired with grilled green onions. If you’re looking to be adventurous, try the cartilage or gizzards. The texture may catch you off guard – the cartilage is incredibly crunchy while the gizzards are slightly chalky – but taste-wise, nothing is lacking.

One thing to note is that several items take time, such as the tori kamameshi (chicken, vegetables and rice cooked in a pot) and grilled rice ball. We were advised to order these things early as they normally take 30 minutes to grill.

S E RV I C E If you read the back of the menu, you’ll learn of the owner’s dream to open a restaurant in Hawai‘i and how grateful he is to have done so. This sincerity and happiness to serve resonates with all of the workers at Yakitori Glad. I was greeted as I walked in and seated quickly (although at peak dinner hours there may be a wait).

My server was happy to make recommendations, explain anything on the menu and check on us frequently.

The servers don’t let their quality of service slip even as you leave – someone will open the door for you and bid you goodbye with a bow.

Features M ICHELLE WHITE Staff Writer Drugs, sexuality, motorcycles and mothers: These are just some of the things comedienne Margaret Cho will touch upon in her newest stand-up act, “Mother,” coming to the Hawai‘i Theatre this weekend.

Cho, a two-time Comedy Album of the Year Grammy nominee known for her work in “AllAmerican Girl” and “Drop Dead Diva,” always includes Hawai‘i in her tour schedule.

“Hawai‘i is a great place to perform,” she said. “It is the most Asian-American place in the world.”

According to Cho, the show focuses on mother fi gures like Madonna and Lady Gaga and references her own mother a lot.

But there is more to Cho than just laughs. Cho addresses some of the hot issues being discussed in America right now as well as topics a little closer to home.

NICOLAS KHAYAT/ABACA

MARGARET CHO IS BACK

What are you thoughts about Manti Te‘o’s invisible girlfriend? Have you ever had an online romance?

Isn’t it strange? Who knows.

I have had weird online relationships that I question whether the people existed. I understand wanting to reach out and connect online, but people are dishonest.

What are your thoughts about marijuana? If there were a strain or brand named after you, what kind of effects would it have?

I think it’s an amazing plant, and I would love to have some

kind of sativa named after me that would make you laugh a lot and get hungry.

Your body art has progressed in recent years. Any plans to add some traditional Hawaiian tattoos?

Oh, that is a good idea: I would love that. I haven’t got lots of room left, though. I have a lot of traditional Asian art, some Americana and now a bit of black and grey Los Angeles style.

Do you know about the many Korean bars around Honolulu?

No, but I can’t wait to fi nd out about them. I love the Korean bars in LA, but wow – my people can drink. I struggle to keep up, but I get such red face – Asian drinking sunburn.

“Drop Dead Diva” wasn’t renewed by Lifetime. What adventures are next?

I think we are going on another network – not sure yet, but it seems like there’s something else happening for “Drop Dead Diva.”

If not, then I will continue to tour as I always have, make more music, movies, TV, podcasts, blogs, etc. I don’t ever stop.

SIMPLE REQUEST

I am insulted when I am told that gun owners are unsympathetic to the terrible events in Newtown. We were also outraged, and we would also like action taken.

To enact a bill that punishes millions of Americans to little positive effect, like we did with the Federal Assault Weapons Ban, would be a disservice to both law-abiding gun owners and the people the bill would aim to protect. A study by the Jerry Lee Center of Criminology of the University of Pennsylvania found that there were no statistically

MEDIA MISFIRES

go to the range and learn how to shoot. It may not be a need, but it is a right that millions of Americans, including many in Hawai‘i, exercise every day in a peaceful, law-abiding manner.

It is a right that many would strip from us in response to crimes we never committed. Even Hawai‘i, a state which has averaged only a single murder by any kind of rifl e per year since 2009, is proposing a state-level assault weapons ban via SB219, which would punish thousands of current and potential gun owners.

Many have called for an honest and open discussion of our laws in an effort to prevent tragedies like the Sandy Hook shooting from happening again. Instead, gun control proponents have patronized gun owners and non-gun owners alike with skewed attacks on our rights.

I proudly own an “assault weapon,” and I demand that I stop being treated like a criminal, a psycho or a heartless person. A new assault weapons ban would be an affront to those rights, and I submit to you that we should not accept such an unconstitutional proposal, but instead work together to fi nd a real solution to violence instead of a knee-jerk reaction to hyperbole.

E x c l us

In the heated debates surrounding the aftermath of the Newtown, Conn., mass shooting, politicians and the media have vilified guns and gun owners.

As a gun owner, I am insulted by these claims. The portrayal of gun owners as “crimes waiting to happen” is unfair and untrue.

In fact, these “assault weapons” are underrepresented in national murder statistics and are used in less than 3.7 percent of total fi rearms-related murders despite millions of them being in civilian hands. This misrepresentation is an unethical move by politicians and media made solely to push their agendas.

significant effects on gun murders after the bill.

While it is true that murder rates did fall during the period of the ban, which lasted from 1994 until 2004, murder rates have continued to fall despite renewed sales of the previously banned guns. Overall, murder rates are currently at the lowest they have been since 1963.

I am insulted when I am told that the Second Amendment does not guarantee my individual right to own a fi rearm. This right has been upheld twice by the Supreme Court in District of Columbia v. Heller and McDonald v.

Chicago. The Court held that the individual right to fi rearm ownership is indeed protected by the Second Amendment.

I am insulted when I am told I don’t “need” an “assault weapon” because it is not suitable for hunting or sporting. Small caliber, semiautomatic rifles like the AR-15 are used in varmint and hog hunting, as well as competitive shooting.

Regardless, the Second Amendment is not about hunting or sport shooting. It is about the right to keep and bear arms for the security of a free state. It is about the right to defend yourself, your country and your freedoms.

Junior outfielder Sharla Kliebenstein started 35 games in right field last season and racked up eight home runs.

SYDNEY C HESTNUT Staff Writer The Rainbow Wahine Softball team is off to a strong start before playing a single game. In preseason polls, the ‘Bows have been voted 23rd in the nation and picked to win the Big West title in their inaugural season in the conference.

But the ‘Bows aren’t letting the pressure affect the way they play.

“We’ve been ranked every year since I was a freshman – when we went to the World Series – so it’s not too different for me,” senior Tara Anguiano said.

In addition to Anguiano, the ‘Bows have a stellar lineup returning this season, including All-Americans Jessica Iwata and Kelly Majam. The Amateur Softball Association of America has flagged Iwata on the “Watch List” as one of the top-50 players in the nation for the 2013 season. Iwata has been recognized as a

first-team all conference shortstop for three straight years. In the 2012 season, Iwata was recognized as the Western Athletic Conference Player of the Year for the second time.

Also returning for the ‘Bows is senior pitcher Kaia Parnaby. Parnaby will be the ace for UH’s pitching staff. With 23 appearances in the 2012 season, Parnaby maintained a 1.47 earned run average and racked up 16 wins, nine of which were shutouts. Freshmen Loie Kesterson and Keiki Carlos will also support Parnaby in the pitcher’s circle.

2012 WAC Freshman of the Year Leisha Li‘ili‘i will return for the ‘Bows at first base, along with junior outfielder Sharla Kliebenstein.

“This is my first year playing outfield, so I really want to prove myself out there,” Kliebenstein said.

M A K I N G A MOV E The ‘Bows have added eight new players to round out the 13 veterans

and fill the seven open spots left by graduating seniors, four of whom were starters in 2012.

This season marks a change for the ‘Bows as they leave the WAC and move to the Big West Conference for the first time in 16 years. The Big West does not have a qualifying tournament for playoffs, so each game is important for overall standings and post-season play.

In preparation for conference play, the ‘Bows have scheduled a tough preseason, including powerhouses such as No. 16 Washington, No. 5 Oregon and No. 19 UCLA, before they open conference play against Cal State Northridge in late March.

The ‘Bows begin preseason play Thursday in the Oceanic Time Warner Cable Paradise Classic featuring Ole Miss, Washington, St. Mary’s and UAB. The first pitch versus Ole Miss will be thrown at 6 p.m. at the Rainbow Wahine Softball Stadium.
