If you know that you will need a book from an inaccessible collection, contact the appropriate librarians to make arrangements. The library staff is not able to enter construction zones but is able to help with obtaining materials before collections are unavailable. “Our suggestions are if people know they’re going to need something, we suggest that they borrow it in advance and keep renewing it,” said Head of Public Services Gwen Sinclair. “If they haven’t identified what they need yet, then we will either get it for them through interlibrary loan or refer them to other local libraries that might have the material that they need.” eb

Hamilton floored with changes
Hamilton Library staff was notified about three years ago that the renovation project would take place. The project was scheduled to start in August 2012 but was postponed because the staging area for the renovation of Edmondson Hall confl icted with the entrance needed for the library project. The air conditioning system will be upgraded in hopes of preventing mold and mildew from damaging library materials. The current air conditioning brings outside air into the building without dehumidifying it. This presents a unique problem for Hawai‘i libraries because the climate is typically more humid than the continental United States. “You’re basically just getting cold outside air, which is why we have to keep it colder because the colder you get it, the lower the humidity goes. And when humidity gets above 65 percent, we’ve had numerous mold outbreaks, especially in certain areas where the air conditioning is less efficient,” Building Manager Steve Pickering said.
Materials in the Asia, Business, Humanities and Social Sciences, Charlot, Hawaiian and Pacific and Northeast Asia collections will be unavailable at different times for anywhere from 23 to 46 days. Books will be inaccessible because they must be enclosed in an area with dehumidifiers to prevent mold growth. Service desks for the Hawaiian, Pacific and Charlot collections on the fi fth floor of Hamilton Library’s main building will be closed beginning in May 2013 for six to eight weeks, while the Asia collections and fourth floor reference desk will be closed beginning in July for six to eight weeks. Asia collections on the third floor will be inaccessible at some time in fall 2013.

Hamilton Library will get a breath of fresh air through air conditioning, ceiling and light fi xture repairs. The eight-month process began on March 25 and is expected to continue through fall 2013. Renovations will begin on the first floor and will displace administrative offices until the beginning of May. The fourth and fifth floors will be renovated during the summer, and the second and third floors will follow. “We hope it’s a long-term gain for the institution because climate control is really important here in Hawai‘i for our materials and resources,” Interim University Librarian Gregg Geary said.
Older light fixtures and suspended ceilings will also be replaced to align with some of UH’s goals to cosume less energy.

2013: a class odyssey CAITLIN K ELLY News Editor
A utopia is a world so perfect that it can’t possibly exist, while a dystopia is a world where the worst-case scenario is expected. Students in John Sweeney’s political design and futuristics class are studying how technology and images of the future tend to lean toward one extreme or the other. They took this knowledge and used it to create eutopias, or a preferred and realistic future, through a pop-up art exhibit that was on display in Saunders Hall. “One of the ways you do that [study eutopias] is by understanding and thinking about what aspects of technology or what aspects of life you might want to take,” Sweeney said.
A N A LY Z I N G F I L M , C R E AT I N G A R T
The students reviewed films with images of the future and analyzed utopian and dystopian aspects, wrote essays and created posters to correlate with them – each includes a QR code that leads to a copy of their writing. The students also held curating hours, during which they talked about their projects. “Even though it’s public art, it’s meant to create that space where someone would ask, ‘what is a QR code and how does it work?’ And you have to have a smartphone to use it, so again there’s sort of that divide between who has access to technology and how are they using
it, which is a big part of what we wanted to address in the class,” Sweeney said. “Being able to see my ideas in art form posted on a campus wall is inspiring and insightful to me, and I hope it is to others as well,” said Julie Au, a student in Sweeney’s class.
P RO J E C T S F O R T H E F U T U R E Because students use technology in their daily lives, Sweeney felt that Twitter and a class blog could easily be incorporated in the classroom. “ This really allows the students to be creative and then also have that kind of feedback,” Sweeney said. “So even though it’s just a campus-level Saunders project, I think people were excited, and to have people excited about writing a paper is kind of a reversal.” Next on the class’ agenda are public interventions, in which students will have to craft a preferred future and enact it in public.
Christopher Lewis puts up a poster depicting open heart surgery as shown in the film, “The Island.”
F U T U R E S S T U D I E S AT M Ā N OA The Hawai‘i Research Center for Futures Studies was established by the Hawai‘i State Legislature in 1971 and is the only public institution in the United States that offers a Ph.D with a focus in futures studies. There are also three undergraduate courses offered, the most famous of which is at the 300 -level, where students design a governing system for people living on Mars in the mid-21st century.

Get to know your ASUH presidential candidates READ THE FULL INTERVIEWS ON KALEO.ORG
The special elections for the Associated Students of the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa will begin online April 5 and
continue through April 16. Ka Leo conducted email interviews with the three candidates running for ASUH president to discuss their experiences, goals and the issues they fi nd most pressing and wish to address, should they be elected.
Ryan Mandado
Richard Mizusawa
Ian Ross
You surprised a lot of people in ASUH when you announced your candidacy. What were the reasons behind your decision to run for president?
W hat has motivated you to run for a second term as president?
You’re a newcomer to the student government at UH. What made you decide to run for president?
The students of our university. Seeing the work the Senate and I have done over the past year benefit students in numerous ways showed me that what I was doing was right for me and something I am truly passionate about and willing to commit my ser vices toward.
W hile it ’s true that I’m not an A SUH senator, I currently ser ve as a justice on the A SUH Court. In this capacit y, I found that student government wasn’t living up to what they are supposed to be. Student government isn’t releasing their minutes … meaning that students can’t f ind out what is going on at their meetings. I want to bring my background and experience in building up groups and implementing programs to student government. Furthermore, I see that student government appears inaccessible to students, so I have brought together an impressive group of young leaders to the New L eadership Slate in order to open up student government and make sure students have a voice.
CAITLIN KURODA Features Editor
Indeed, there was a surprised reaction from the Senate when my fl oor nomination went through during the meeting. … I decided to run for president because I believe that this is the right time for me to use the skills that I have learned while being in the Senate to take our student government to the next level. I was Senator for the Colleges of Arts and Sciences, Senator at Large and now I believe that I can represent everyone. What are the most pressing issues you see affecting UH and its students right now? A main issue that UH is facing right now is our energy consumption. Many students do not know this, but most of our tuition dollars goes toward paying for the electricity that power our buildings. … I would like to work with people in our university and around Hawai‘i to figure out what we can do make UH more energy efficient.
COURTESY OF RYAN MANDADO
What has been your greatest accomplishment as ASUH president? I would say it has been ensuring the student voice and representation was never left out in many of the important decisions and groups we have on campus. Examples include ensuring we had student representation on the search committee for the next athletics director, student representation on various committees outside of ASUH … and the legislative coordinators within our campus.

‘9 to 5: The Musical’
FRIEND LIKE FOLLOW KA LEO FACEBOOK
COURTESY OF MĀNOA VALLEY THEATRE
The Broadw Broadway way pproduction rodu ro duuct ctio ionn off “9 “9 to 5: 5: The TThhe Musical” M si Mu sica cal” ca l” ended ende en d d inn 2009. 20009. BEN SAUNDERS Staff Writer The workplace has been a backdrop for many diverse comedies both on and off stage that try to tell original and entertaining stories. But playwright Patricia Resnick found inspiration in the country musicianship of Dolly Parton, and in 2009, “9 to 5: The Musical” took shape. Diamond Head Theatre succeeds in presenting its own adaptation of the hit musical, with three more shows scheduled for next weekend. As you would expect from a musical, the story is straightforward: Three women attempt to get even with their sexist boss, with comedic songs and dances ensuing. The plot comes to life with the acting skill of the show’s three female leads: Jennifer Sojot playing Violet Newstead, Jody Bill as Judy Ber-
nly and Jessica Cruz as Doralee Rhodes each get ample time to shine during the two-and-a-half hour run of the show, and they do not disappoint. As difficult as it can sometimes be to identify with characters in over-the-top musical comedies, it is significantly easier to do in this show due to the deliberation and authenticity of the leads’ performances. The women in the show are forced to deal with overcoming a level of sexism that, though it seems exaggerated nowadays, was nearly mainstream in 1979 when the show is set, and stereotypical gender roles get torn down through wacky song and dance routines.
A L I T T L E B I T C O U N T RY You don’t have to be of singer and songwriter Parton to enjoy “9 to 5” – certainly helps. The show
a fan Dolly but it is the
brainchild of the playwright and Parton, with the latter contributing the lyrics and melodies for the Broadway show. Her original score is used in Diamond Head’s rendition, albeit performed by local actors and a live orchestra. This influence is apparent throughout the show, and while this is not a bad thing (unless you hate Dolly Parton’s music), each song sounds somewhat like the next, and during the multiplehour span of the show this becomes a tad repetitive. Don’t worry, though – the eerie, floating projection of Dolly Parton’s face over the actors’ heads will always be there to lighten the mood. Ultimately, the show is performed by talented actors and orchestral musicians. Though the show has some controversial elements and may not be suitable for young audiences, men and women alike can enjoy “9 to 5,” as long as they know what to expect going in.
The show runs long and isn’t perfect, but if you like musicals and are at least ambivalent about Dolly Parton, consider heading down to Diamond Head this weekend and giving “9 to 5: the Musical” a try.
R ATI N G:
‘9 to 5’ When: April 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, 13; 8 p.m. , with additional shows at 3 p.m. on April 6 and 13, April 7 and 14 at 4 p.m. Where: Diamond Head Theatre 520 Makapu‘u Ave. Cost: $15-$50 Contact:diamondheadtheatre. com

How do you feel the current ASUH is doing in representing the student body? What are some things you would like to see improved, and how would you plan on improving them?
What is one regret that you have from your current term, or something that you would like to improve during a second term?
Could you explain your group, New Leadership Slate, and what it aims to do?
I definitely feel like ASUH is doing a great job at the many things they are doing for the student body. They are addressing issues important for the entire campus as well as offering student services such as voter registration, scholarship opportunities and planning events for everyone to enjoy.
Whether I win or lose for this president position, I will use what I have learned here in D.C. to effectively communicate the needs for our students to the state legislature. One thing I would like ASUH to do is get our name out more. … One way this can improve is being more transparent with the things we are doing such as having our pieces of legislation on our website updated. What have you learned from your experience in your current political internship, and how will you use that knowledge during your term should you be elected? Working from inside the government helped me understand how to advocate for things more effectively. Whether I win or lose for this president position, I will use what I have learned here in D.C. to effectively communicate the needs for our students to the state legislature. We need to show them that students care and have their continued support to make our university the number one campus in Hawai‘i.
Further enhance our visibility and transparency both online and on campus. I believe we have made excellent efforts in advertising ASUH more this year, but there is always something else we can do to move one step forward. Our website has the necessary resources for students to access, but I want to ensure that everything is up to date as it can be when it is readily available. Why should the students of UH Manoa reelect you? I humbly ask that the students of UH Manoa to reelect me as their ASUH president because of my vision of where our university can be in the upcoming year, my priorities to tackle pressing issues we face here on campus and my passion for serving the students of Manoa. It is hard to get everything you want done for the students within a year’s time, and I strongly believe that if elected one more year, I can have a huge impact on the students I serve positively. I can assure you I am confident I am running for the right reasons and hope I can gain your trust in ser ving you as your next ASUH president of the 101st senate.
It is hard to get everything you want done for the students within a year’s time, and I strongly believe that if elected one more year, I can have a huge impact on the students I serve positively.
New L eadership Slate is a group of young leaders with diverse backgrounds in leadership. We have come together to bring more student engage ment to student government by running for executive positions in student government.
Worst of all, students feel that they don’t have a voice. Our student government is supposed to act as that voice.
Students have told us that they feel their concerns are too of ten overlooked, that the departments and ser vices of our universit y can of ten be unhelpf ul rather than a source for solutions. Worst of all, students feel that they don’t have a voice. Our student government is sup posed to act as that voice. How do you feel the current ASUH is doing in representing the student body? W hat are some things you would like to see improved, and how would you plan on improving them?
Currently, I feel that student government isn’t truly rep resenting the student body. Too few students know about what student government does. One of the main reasons I am running is to increase the voice students have over student government and UH Manoa as a whole. Bettering the system of communication is the primar y way to do this.

Making the grade I cheated on an exam. I looked at the answers of people around me, even Googled a couple of things on my phone and didn’t get caught. I barely passed the class – I got a C as my final grade – but now I feel guilty. I know that if I confess to my professor, they’ll probably change my grade and make me fail or even get me kicked out of college. Even worse, this class is a core requirement for my major. Should I come clean about what I did? Should I just switch my major and move on? QUINCY GREENHECK Web Editor
A RIEL R AMOS Special Issues Editor
So you panicked, cheated and now regret what you did? Instead of talking about ideal solutions to heal your troubled conscience, let’s be real: You’re unlikely to turn yourself in. At a minimum, you need to take this experience as a lesson: First, you don’t need to be in college; you chose to be here. Second, realize that you can get a worthless degree by continuing to cheat and take the easy way, but if you earn it, you will have something amazing to show for it. If all else fails and you fi nd yourself tempted to cheat again in the future, take a moment to remember how you feel now, then do the right thing. Integrity is hard to earn but easy to lose.
Do what you can live with. There are many things in life to regret, and confessing might be a bigger regret than cheating in the first place. While honesty is desirable, do not expect any consolation for reporting yourself – take this as a lesson learned. The guilt you feel now should discourage any repeat performances of dishonesty. If you find yourself in another situation where you may be tempted, recall how you felt the last time you cheated. Aim to prepare for your quizzes and tests by studying and learning the material. That way, you won’t find yourself under the stress of whether to cheat to pass an exam for which you are unprepared. As for changing majors, if you realize that the major you are currently in doesn’t motivate you to learn, it may be time to look for something that does.

“It was part mental,” George said. “Obviously, there were some physical things we needed to work on, like cutting out strikeouts early in the season. We worked on that, and we’ve cut down on our strikeouts. I would say it’s a mental thing now. We just need to stay where we’re at mentally … and we’ll be all night.” “If anything, we’re just getting in our own heads and being our own worst enemies,” junior catcher Tyler Young said. Pitching has also been an ongoing struggle for the team, as it’s been battling injuries and been short-staffed. “We, again, just have to get quality starts out of our starting pitching because we don’t have the depth to go into the bullpen,” Trapasso said. “We’re about two to three deep, at best, in bullpen. So we have to have quality starts from our starting pitchers.” However, the ‘Bows have been showing more confidence on the plate as the season progresses. “[Compared to last month], I think now we believe,” said George, who is riding a nine-game hitting streak. “We’ve always had the talent. We’ve always been able to physically do what we want to be able to do. Now, we’ve got some clutch hits, and we’ve won some big games. So now we have the confidence to go out there and do what we need to do, and we feel that we can do that everyday.” Their confidence during the past few weeks has been manifesting into their game play. “We’re getting timely hits,” Young said. “We keep on clutching up. Conner George has been clutching up recently. Pi‘ikea Kitamura, you know, all those older guys taking the leading roles and showing the younger guys how it’s done.” “I thought over the past eight games we saw an awakening of our bats that we’ve been waiting for, and we were very solid overall,” Trapasso said. “Offensively, I think over the past eight games, we’ve been hitting close to .300 as a team, and if we can come anywhere close to sustaining that, then we’re gonna win our share of games as we continue to go.”

Rainbows hike through struggles chance. If we play well, we’d have a chance. But there’s no question, it’s gonna be a real test for us.”

ROA D T R I P As the Rainbows travel to California this week, they will be facing UC Irvine, No. 10 UCLA and No. 21 Cal Poly in a seven-game road trip. This week, they will challenge UC Irvine (16 -8, 0 -3 BWC) in a three-game conference series that starts on Friday. The Anteaters are currently winless in conference play, while the ‘Bows are 2-1. “We’re gonna play [two] ranked teams at three new places, so it’s definitely gonna be a challenge,” said junior right fielder Conner George. “But we’re just gonna do the same thing we’ve been doing. We’re gonna come out everyday and work hard, and that should give us the confidence we need to get some wins on the road.”

A month made all the difference for the Rainbow baseball team after enduring a 10-game losing streak in the beginning of the year followed by another five defeats. However, the ‘Bows (7-18, 2-1 Big West) continued to prove their worth as a team, and the past two series against Wichita State and UC Santa Barbara are a testimony to their progress. “You’re looking at a team like Wichita State that is one of the premier teams in college baseball history and to take three of four from them,” head coach Mike Trapasso said. “Opening Big West play, you’re always going to see the intensity level raised two or three notches.” In the past two series, the ‘Bows garnered 46 runs compared to 41 runs in the 17 games prior. These victories have also boosted their confidence and aggression to hold them together. “We just have to keep doing what we did the last two series here and that’s [to] play our style of baseball,” Trapasso said. “We just want to play well, and if you play well, you’d give yourself a
