The chancellor also discussed the possibility of arming the proposed UH police, but stopped short of taking a stance on the issue, saying it would be best to leave the topic for further public discussion. “If we’re going to have a po lice force with guns, they have to be ever y bit as well trained as HPD,” Apple said. In addition to physically patrolling an area, the proposals call for setting up a series of security cameras at high-trafﬁc points around campus, including the major entrances and exits. These cameras, Apple said, would be particularly handy in tracking cars as they move across campus and getting their license plate numbers. Although he acknowledged that the use of cameras would likely raise

complaints about civil liberties violations and other privacy issues, the chancellor maintained that such a tool is necessary as well as useful, citing cameras that were used to capture the recent bombings at the Boston Marathon. “At this point, we’re beyond that question,” he said. “I think we have to do this; it’s part of the world we live in now.” Another tool that Apple and others concerned with security have discussed is the use of keycards to secure building entrances, elevators, stairwells and ofﬁces after hours. Using a system similar to that employed at many of M ā noa’s residence halls, faculty, students and others trying to gain access to a building would use a keycard to enter, while presumably keeping intruders out. “We just want to identify who’s in the building and the fact that they do belong there,” Pukahi said. Apple emphasized that many of the solutions that he and other university ofﬁcials are considering are long-term ones, and that many of the proposals would need to clear the state legislature before they could receive funding or become part of CS’ strategy. In the meantime, M ā noa’s top administrator said he and the school’s security officials are evaluating all options put before them to make campus safer. “I want the bad guys to know that somebody’s watching,” he said.

ofﬁcer status.” Though Apple emphasized that he felt strongly about having a police force on campus, he also stressed that UH police ofﬁcers would face issues unlike those of their counterparts at municipal departments, including the challenge of making arrests and other disciplinary actions educational. “Obviously, really bad guys, you arrest, but when [it’s] a student … I want the prime hope to be how can we educate this student about why this was not a good thing to do, rather than locking them up.”

Dissecting the Kuali Financial System

VA R I AT I O N AC RO S S O RGA N I Z AT I O N S NOELLE F UJII Staff Writer In July 2012, the University of Hawai‘i implemented the Kuali Financial System to replace the Financial Management Information System, making information processing quicker and allowing the system to have documents electronically filed. “Kuali is the financial accounting system used to create documents that produces checks. A stipend is a form of financial assistance awarded to students for participating in programs that are educational in nature,” Fiscal Administrator Jill Shigano said. Disbursement vouchers are created in Kuali by the CSO staff and are routed electronically to the account supervisor and then to the Fiscal Office. Shigano and a worker in the office review the requests by making sure all the necessary paperwork is completed. Then the requests are electronically routed to the Disbursing Office for review and a check is produced. The process takes approximately a week from the time the Fiscal Office receives a disbursement voucher from a CSO office to the time it is ready to be picked up by a worker. “We try our best to approve documents in a timely manner,” Shigano said.

Each organization has a different process concerning stipend requests before they are sent to the Fiscal Ofﬁce. According to UH Productions and Ka Leo advertising adviser Robert Reilly, General Manager Josh Huaracha makes a monthly report with all of the current helpers at UH Productions and turns in a stipend form consisting of amounts for each worker

This is the only thing that I do, I don’t have an actual job. It’s a little nerve-racking when I’m kind of relying on the money. -Leah Nakaahiki to BCA Administrative Assistant Kai Apana. Apana puts the stipend form into the Kuali system, which is put through a protocol that has to be approved. He is the one who is trained to enter the information into the Kuali system for BCA operations, but only works Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays so it can take a little while to go through everything. “We just implemented the stipend report this semester,” Huaracha said. The report allows the students to say what they’ve worked on so they can justify what they did

for that month. Huaracha said it can take anywhere from three weeks to a month to get a stipend.

A N I M P E R F E C T S YS T E M

Reilly said the personal steps that involve approving information can take a little longer. “As long as people turn stuff in on time and we have the correct paperwork, [it] does make it quicker to process the stipends because I know that students get their checks turned around to them a lot quicker than they used to,” Reilly said. “We’re dependent upon student schedules; they don’t work every day, so that’s why it takes a little longer to process things. That’s where a lot of the hold up is at.” Leah Nakaahiki, Producer and Social Media at UH Productions, said the time it takes to receive her stipend can be irregular and inconvenient. “This is the only thing that I do. I don’t have an actual job. It’s a little nerve-racking when I’m kind of relying on the money,” Nakaahiki said. According to Reilly, the Financial Management System consisted of turning in a form to the Fiscal Ofﬁce that would be processed into a check. “The form didn’t take longer to do; it was just the processing that I feel like took maybe a little bit longer,” Reilly said. He said a quicker process is supposed to result from using Kuali. As of now, people are still trying to get used to the new system. “There are advantages to having it; we just have to see how those come to fruition over the next couple of years and if it’s truly going to be timesaving and helpful,” Reilly said.

A foodie’s ‘Acai’-nment JACKIE PERREIR A Senior Staff Writer Everyone has their favorite acai bowl – and everyone wants to make their favorite your favorite. So they tell you to try this place and that place, and soon enough you have a list of acai places that all have “the best acai bowl.” Instead of relying on word of mouth, refer to this taste test for a breakdown of everything you need to know to decide which one is your favorite.

Acai Bowl Price: $6.95

Contents: Acai topped with bananas, honey, strawberries and blueberries

Acai Sorbet Bowl Price: $6.95 Contents: Acai, pomegranate, raspberries and white tea topped with bananas, granola, blueberries, strawberries and honey

Texture-wise, this could be considered acai ice cream.. Each bite has a balance of sweet and tart due to the sour off the acai and strawberries against the bananas and honey. The acai tastes even better after eating a GRYLT plate or sandwich, and it comes in a to-go bowl whether you eat itt there, so I’d recommend ordering it after you ﬁ nish eating g and take it home (or eat it on the car ride back).

B L U E H AWA Iʻ I L I F E S T Y L E Jasmine Acai Bowl Price: $6.95, small Contents: Jasmine tea, organic acai, organic soy milk, bananas and berries topped with granola, bananas, berries and honey What stands out about this acai blend is its deep purple color and visible bits of berry skin, which give it the consistency of thick yogurt. This one is especially tart compared to the others, but the fl owery and herbal taste of Jasmine tea is present in every spoonful. Because their menu consists of seven acai bowls to choose from, I asked the server questions before ordering, which he answered patiently. So if you also fi nd yourself with questions, don’t be afraid to ask what spirulina is.

The toppings are positioned in a neat at circular pattern with radial symmetry that at is reminiscent of water aerobics dancers. Its ts texture was close to ice cream except grittitier, as if the ingredients were not blended for or long. One blaring negative about this acai ai bowl was that the blueberries on top tasted ed like they were from a bag and previously ly frozen. Worse than the blueberries was the he impatient and pushy service.

The acai sorbet is made by the Tea Garden itself, and it is served in a clear bowl and garnished with mint leaves – if I had to guess what high-end acai is, I’d probably say this. This acai bowl isn’t as filling as the others, and the taste of acai was weak in comparison to generous amount of fruit toppings and honey. However, because it’s not as heavy in flavor, it tastes refreshing and is ideal for a quick snack. The only seating there is outdoors and it’s often crowded, so you might have to take your sorbet to go. Address: Ala Moana Center (3rd fl oor), 1450 Ala Moana Blvd. Hours: Mon-Sat, 9:30 a.m.-9 p.m.; Sun, 9 a.m.-7 p.m. 808-944-2004 Phone: 808 944 2004

ingredients. Unlike other acai bowls, this one comes with kiwis. This could also be considered its downfall, though, as the acai is suffocated under the mountain of toppings. I’m not sure how to feel about a place that sells as much jewelry as it does food – it’s like eating in your grandaunt’s walk-in closet.

While it may be a source of antioxidants and vitamins, the bee pollen ox taste isn’t prominent in the bowl, so t much so that I didn’t recall it being in the acai until I looked up the

On April 28, the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s apparel product design and merchandising department held its 47th annual senior fashion show at the Waikīkī Beach Marriott Resort and Spa. This year’s sold-out production, entitled “Zeitgeist: Spirit of the Times,” featured the creations of seven graduating seniors and 13 junior designers. The senior showcase included the work of Jenna Sato, whose “Dreamboat” collection mixed sweet 1950s silhouettes with edgy 1980s prints, and Breanne Lee, who used the plastic paper material Tyvek to create structured, origami-inspired looks in her collection “Fold.” The student designers also collaborated to create looks for the show’s three segments, Ecobilan, Renewable Energy and Blistering Magnetism, to create abstract looks that put an emphasis on light energy and sustainability.

Opinions How to make the most of your study days CAITLIN KURODA Features Editor

Today is the last day of instruction because Thursday and Friday have been set aside as a study period before ﬁnals week. Before you grab your swim gear and surfboard for two long-awaited beach days, consider these tips for getting in some short but effective studying.

S TA R T T H E DAY E A R LY It may be tempting to sleep in, but staying in bed until 1 p.m. will leave you feeling groggy and lazy for the rest of the day. Some people can wake up and instantly go into work mode, but many need time to go through their morning routine – whether that includes breakfast, a morning run or some time in front of the TV – before they can really get down to business. Waking up early will give you more time in the day for productivity while leaving time in the afternoon and evening for relaxation. Rising early might mean that you’ll feel sleepy again

by noon, so don’t be afraid to take 20-minute power naps as necessary.

BREAK IT UP Studying for a while on both days is better than devoting one whole day to study and another full day to rest. Studying for a whole day can result in information overload, while resting for a whole day will take you completely out of study mode. Split up study time for your classes between Thursday and Friday, and balance it so that you have an even mix of easy and difﬁcult classes to study for each day. Break up each day as well – don’t study for one class and then go right into another immediately after. Take breaks in between to allow your brain to fully digest and retain everything.

C H A N G E T H E S C E N E RY During regular instruction periods, most people have their designated spot in the library or their favorite table at a coffee shop to study. During the two study days, switch it up and ﬁnd somewhere different to spread out your notes and hit the books. If you want to go to the beach, go – and take your biology book with you. Or ﬁnd a quiet park, or even an unused room in your house. A change of scenery can refresh the mind and sometimes add to productivity and memory capability.

S T U DY W I T H A B U D DY Working with a classmate or friend will add a little color and laughter to your study session. Studying with another person allows you to work out problems together that you may not have been able to solve separately and talk out concepts and terms until you both understand them better. Time goes by more quickly and breaks are more enjoyable when you have someone to spend it with – since these are your two days off, it doesn’t hurt to make your studying as fun as it is productive.

M A X I M I Z E D OW N T I M E

AMY BABCOCK / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Make the most of your study time by finding a quiet and relaxing environment.

One way to get some studying in without feeling like it’s taking up your whole day is to use your down time productively. A lot of the time that we spend idle in between activities can be turned into a review session. Waiting for someone to pick you up? Read through your notes a couple of times. Watching the clock while your lunch is in the oven? Run through a few example problems to get comfortable with solving them. Due to it being in short, infrequent spurts, using down time may not be the best for learning completely new information, but it is effective for reviewing key concepts.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR ASUH rail transit forum

FILE PHOTO

I recently attended the educational forum on the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa campus regarding the proposed rail transit project. I have heard mixed opinions from both sides of the argument, but based on the information from the speakers at the recent forum, I was able to finally form my own beliefs around the proposed transit system, and all in all, I think it’s a bust. During the UH forum, both speakers supporting the rail transit project agreed that the rail line would decrease traffic congestion on O‘ahu’s highways, allowing for quicker and easier commutes for residents on O‘ahu. HART, the Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation, predicts that 40,000 cars will be removed from the roadways via rail transit. This sounds great for the highway commuters, but the concern with this number is that by the time the rail is complete, with a 2019 projected completion date, how many more people will have moved to Hawai‘i and will be driving cars? As stated by both Dan Grabauskas and Ivan Lui-Kwan during the conference, the project aims to decrease congestion and travel times on the freeways, but when asked about how traffic will be affected during the construction of the railways over the highways, the question was never fully answered. This leads me to believe, as evident from observing many other roadway construction jobs, that traffic will actually increase during this time because of the need for traffic lanes to be shut down to accommodate workers. With the $5.2 billion initial budget approval, the project’s stated intention is to connect railways to all three UH campuses but on the railway website, honolulutransit.org, the railway maps show no connecting line to the UH Mānoa campus. On the HART- sponsored website, it is also noted that two-thirds of the

budget will be funded by O‘ahu residents and tourists. If the initial proposal included the UH Mānoa connection line, but now does not, and the students and faculty are still paying for a portion of the system in taxes, this huge expense sounds like it isn’t really doing anything beneficial for the students and faculty that may have initially voiced interest in using it. In fact, it seems that we would be paying for something that we will not be using, yet another addition to the already high costs we pay to live on O‘ahu. In addition to these main points of opposition, there is also the fact that travel time from Kapolei would be extended, based on current bus times versus proposed rail times. Also, residents along the railway route would have to deal with the noise that the trains would produce, estimated at above 70 decibels. I think that with all of the opposition to the proposed railway system, based on factual evidence, it just doesn’t make the most sense financially and logistically. If the true intention of HART is to benefit the commuters and residents of O‘ahu, then maybe more time and money should be spent on alternatives, such as adding more lanes to the freeway or providing safer lanes to bikers. As much as I love the idea of riding a train high above the ground, looking at beautiful views of the ocean and surrounding areas of O’ahu, the proposed railway project just doesn’t make sense. On another note, thank you to Dan Grabauskas, Ivan Lui-Kwan, Panos Prevedouros, Randall Roth and the ASUH for taking the time to organize, discuss and educate students, faculty and community members on this topic. The forum was extremely helpful and valuable toward my forming an educated opinion regarding rail transit in Honolulu.

Cheating Is cheating a problem in your classes?

Summer is coming, and people are headed to the beach: Women will be sporting stringthin bikinis, and men will wear tiny swim trunks at beaches around the state, but what would happen if people wore even less? Should it be legal for people to be nude in public? Not just on beaches, but everywhere?

This is a world of many different values and norms, and while nudity may be ﬁne for some, others are likely to take offense. The real problem with public nudity is its possible effect on others. After all, do you really believe that no resident of Honolulu – or any other major American city, for that matter – would ﬁnd it odd if they spied someone walking down the street unclothed? With freedom of choice and action comes the obligation to tolerate the choices and actions of others. Going about one’s daily business without clothing is not necessarily an abomination on the civil rights front. Though there may be dress codes at events and certain parts of a city may lend themselves to certain styles of

clothing, choosing not to wear anything at all should be as much of a choice, in theory, as wearing one type of clothing instead of another; however, one may risk the respect of others by going in the nude, just as someone who shows up to a business meeting in a T-shirt and shorts may not be treated seriously by his or her peers. Perhaps the best solution to keep as many as possible happy is to follow the example of other countries. A variety of nations, from Japan to Germany, have learned to accept nudity in the open under speciﬁc circumstances. Designating certain parks and beaches, for example, as safe and open to nudists has proven to be a functional solution – one that gives individuals the chance to express themselves and live as they wish, without offending those who chart a different course.

TIM M ETR A Associate Opinions Editor Public nudity in the United States is a big deal, and it shouldn’t be. Every human being on the planet comes into this world naked, and sometime shortly after that we swaddle them up and teach them that being naked is something to be ashamed of, that it’s sinful or wrong. Clothing is definitely a necessity in many places due to climate considerations but not in Hawai‘i. There are several reasons why being naked has come to be something shameful, and one of the biggest is the fact that clothing is a form of ego-armor that protects our perceived social standing. However, it’s been demonstrated by the Journal of

Sex Research that when nudity is a common denominator, it frees us from “normal” shame and embarrassment. This need to be clothed can diminish both our self-esteem and the pleasure we take from our physicality. Fortunately for all of us in Hawai‘i, the restrictions on public nudity are not as puritanical as most of the mainland U.S. Women are allowed to be topless anywhere that men can be, including public beaches and parks. Hawai‘i Revised Statutes 707-734 and 712-1217 say that because female breasts are not genitalia any more than those of males, they can be exposed in the same way. Next time any of you women are at the beach, feel free to lose your top and no longer worry about those pesky tan lines.

NEW POLL

What do you think about nudity at public beaches? I shouldn’t have to see other people naked – they should at least cover up a little. It’s fine, there’s no harm in showing skin as long as no one tries to touch it. Doesn’t matter – I care more about skin cancer or sunburn than I do about nudity.

Senior starting pitcher Corey MacDonald has pitched 73.2 innings this year, which is most on the team. FILE PHOTO KA LEO O HAWAII

ELIAQUIM R EYES Senior Staff Writer

Whether at the plate or on the mound, opportunities open up for the Rainbow baseball team. One player who has taken advantage of these opportunities is senior pitcher Corey MacDonald. MacDonald, a 6 -foot 6 -inchright-hander from Davis, Calif., earned a slot in the Rainbows’ starting rotation at the beginning of the year. However, season-ending injuries to senior left-hander Jarrett Arakawa and freshman left-hander Quintin Torres-Costa robbed the Rainbows’ pitching staff of two starters, placing more of a burden on MacDonald. In addition to those set-

Pitching in the midst of pressure backs, the pitching staff has dealt with shuff ling within the rotation. Sophomore Scott Squier, who was projected to be the team’s ace at the start of the year, has struggled at times and has shifted between the starting rotation and the bullpen. Likewise, senior Connor Little has battled injuries and has also moved back and forth. Meanwhile, junior pitcher Matt Cooper, who began the year in the bullpen, was moved into the starting lineup after a pair of sparkling relief efforts early in the year. But MacDonald, who began the season as the team’s fourth starter, is the only pitcher to have started in each of Hawai‘i’s series.

“Obviously there’s some pressure, but when that happens, it’s not as bad as it sounds because it gives other people opportunities,” MacDonald said. “And there’s two roads you can go – you can lay down or you can step up for your team. And that’s something I’m really, really grateful to be able to do this year for my team.” MacDonald has thrown six or more innings in every start but one, and he also leads the team in wins (4), games started (10) and innings pitched (73.2), proving his consistency and durability as a starter. “[The coaches’ faith in me] helps me to be able to go long in a game,” MacDonald said. “He knows you’re going to be able to go out and throw seven or eight for him.” Maturing as a pitcher has also been key for MacDonald to endure on the mound, and it was that understanding that helped him improve not only in his pitches and his zone, but also his confidence in pitching at this level of baseball. “ The pressure of keeping your team, having everyone rely on you to keep your team in it, keep your team in the game and go out there and throw strikes. I know my team was a little worried after the first couple innings I was walking guys [in the series finale against CSUF], but that’s how it goes sometimes,” MacDonald said. “I’ve kind of learned what it takes to get it done,” MacDonald said. “I understand what pitches I need to throw now, where I need to throw them and just [have] a lot more understanding about what it takes to pitch in the D-1 level.”

IT PAYS TO FINISH COLLEGE ON TIME. Students who earn 15 credits per semester are more likely to earn better grades, have higher completion rates, and finish their degrees on time.

The standard at shortstop JEREMY NIT TA Associate Sports Editor When coaches talk about what makes a player great, traits like work ethic and dedication come up. But for some players, it comes down to pure athletic talent, and that is senior shortstop Jessica Iwata. Iwata, a product of Lihue, Kaua‘i, has been a starter at shortstop almost since the day she came to the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. And the experience of donning a Rainbow Wahine uniform has ﬁ lled a personal goal for Iwata. “I used to always watch the Hawai‘i sports at home on Kaua‘i with my grandma,” Iwata said. “And I told her that one day, she’d be able to watch me on TV. And that’s kind of what pushes me. As soon as I got my scholarship, I’ve been working hard.” Iwata’s senior year has been a bit of a rough one – she got off to a slow start and has seen her numbers fall. Iwata has battled through shoulder and ankle injuries throughout the season but has still managed to start all 48 of Hawai‘i’s games and is one of only four players to do so.

“Individually, I don’t think I’ve played to my ability,” Iwata said. “I’m playing with a lot of injuries now, but I’m doing the best I can. ... I haven’t been doing good statistically as well as I wanted to. It’s a matter of keeping my team up and making sure that I’m there for them and performing to the standards that I want.” And those standards have been set high during Iwata’s ca-

Jessica is just one of those players who comes around once in a while. -Head Coach Bob Coolen reer. Iwata is UH’s all-time leader in career RBIs with 193, and ranks second to teammate Kelly Majam in home runs (53) and walks (98). In addition, Iwata ranks third alltime with a career batting average of .373. But the productivity that Iwata has had comes as no surprise to head coach Bob Coolen, who expected as much when he recruited her in 2009. “Because of her baseball background, some programs backed off of

her, even though New Mexico State was going after her really hard,” Coolen said. “We jumped into the mix and ... we told her we wanted to be a four-year starter at shortstop and hit in the cleanup position. We told her all of that before her career, and it has all come to fruition.” And now that Iwata’s fruitful career is drawing to a close, it’s obvious that Coolen struck gold when he brought her on board. “She’s one of the best shortstops we’ve ever had,” Coolen said. “She, along with Coach Dee and Kehau Cofran come to mind. ... You can’t script it any better, where your best shortstops are from the state of Hawai‘i, and that’s the legacy that she’s following and furthering. “Kids look at her and aspire to be like her. ... I wish others would emulate her, but they can’t. Jessica is just one of those players who comes around once in a while.”
