K A L EO S TAFF EDITORIAL Enough is enough. The past months have provided the clearest example of what students have suspected for a long time – M.R.C. Greenwood and the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa administration are more than happy to waste hundreds of thousands of dollars on “mistakes” and shady deals. It ’s bad enough that the $200,000 payment for the Stevie Wonder concert has yet to be recovered.

It’s bad enough that Greenwood attempted to defend the university in a blast email to all students and alumni, stating that this has been “a thoughtful and transparent process fi rst with our Regents and then with the general public.” It ’s bad enough that the Board of Regents has affirmed a proposal for a new position for former athletic director Jim Donovan, where he will take an administrative role in the Chancellor’s Office that will pay $211,200 annually – a decision made because Donovan

had threatened to sue the university. But above all, it is unacceptable that when the smoke has cleared, there is apparently no one at fault in the administration. While the community may be upset, students should be furious. Each year, we pour millions of dollars into the university in the form of tuition and student fees. We continue to see tuition rates rise with no reprieve. We face ever-expanding class sizes and witness fi rsthand how much harder it is to meet academic re-

quirements and graduate in four years. Students, we deserve better than this. We deserve so much better than what Greenwood and the UH Mānoa administration have given us. We deserve better than the F ’s that they have attempted to portray as Aquality work. L et us not forget, after all, what happens when a student produces Fquality work at a university. Surely we can hold our administrators to the same standards.

A ‘top 20’ law school MATT SYLVA Senior Staff Writer The William S. Richardson School of Law was ranked among the top 20 most innovative law schools in the nation by the National Jurist and preLaw Magazine in July. “We are extremely lucky to attract the kinds of students we have, and they are en route to playing vital roles throughout their lives. We help to give them practical skills and to assist them in grasping and applying new ideas to changing realities,” Richardson School of Law dean Avi Soifer said in a statement. “It is particularly gratifying that, in the same week, one national survey recognized the Law School for the outstanding scholarly work by our faculty members and another study touted their innovative teaching approaches,” Soifer stated. Richardson’s exact ranking in the list has not yet been announced. The National Jurist’s “Back to school” issue, which will contain further details about Richardson and the other top 20 schools – including schools in New York, Arizona and Utah, among others – will release in late August.

The Ulu Lehua program works with students who have overcome adversity and who wish to work with underserved areas. The Child Welfare program allows students to collaborate with community groups or with other professional students to address problems faced by children in their communities. The Medical-Legal Partnership program sets up lawyers with pediatricians and members of the Kokua Kalihi Valley Comprehensive Family Services Staff to combine and provide legal and medical care for the surrounding neighborhood.
H I S T O RY
The law school is named after William S. Richardson, a former lieutenant governor and Hawai‘i supreme court justice. He assisted in the school’s founding, and was involved in the creation of many milestone laws in Hawai‘i, including one that ensured public access to the coastline. The school was previously recognized in January by preLaw magazine as third-best in law schools nationwide when it comes to procuring clerkships for its students.

The Ulu Lehua Scholars, Child Welfare Clinic and the Medical-Legal Partnership for Children in Hawai‘i are three programs that the Richardson School of Law was recognized for.

Paradise Palms vendors include The Curb, L&L Hawaiian Barbeque, India Cafe, Super Gyros, Panda Express and Domino’s. CAITLIN KURODA Features Editor
Amidst the bustle that comes with a new semester, Paradise Palms will have a grand reopening event tomorrow from 11 a.m.-1 p.m., with early bird giveaways going on from 7:30 a.m.-9 a.m. Although it has been open for business since summer, Food Services and the vendors are ready to officially celebrate a new beginning. Phyllis Look, marketing and communications manager for Campus Services, credited food services manager Andy Lachman with spearheading the event effort. She said, “[Lachman] knew that he always wanted to have some kind of welcome back … a big party, basically, to celebrate the reopening. And everybody’s been so patient waiting all these months, and the vendors have done such an awesome job putting together their counters.” The reopening event will feature music by Island 98.5, a large
infl atable panda and panda mascot from Panda Express and prizes and giveaways. Paradise Palms vendors have been distributing entry forms since Aug. 22, and Look said that she hopes students will come back and deposit them on the day of the event by 12:30 p.m. A total of 50 gift certificates – from $20 gift vouchers from India Café or Panda Express to free yogurt from Honolulu Gourmet Foods – will be given away every 15 minutes. Three grand prize winners will be announced at the event finale at 1 p.m. One person will win a new 16 GB iPad courtesy of PepsiCo and AMP Energy, and another will receive free coffee catering for up to 20 people for a department or student organization courtesy of The Curb owner Sumner Ohye. “And the other thing that I think people might be really interested in,” shared Look, “is [Ohye is] giving away free coffee a day for the entire fall semester to this one winner. … So somebody who’s a real caffeine junkie will want to win this prize.”
EXTRA EARLY BIRD SPECIALS The main event may be during the lunch hour, but Paradise Palms will be starting the celebration early with more prizes and lots of samples. Ohye will be running a coffee education sampling, featuring a number of different coffee varieties. Jill Lee, owner of Honolulu Gourmet Foods, will be giving away free muffi n quarters. Honolulu Gourmet Foods prides itself on using local produce in its products, such as the Kahuku bananas found in their muffi ns. Lee will also be inviting MA‘O Organic Farms, a local non-profit organization, for the afternoon segment. MA‘O Organic Farms will have a sample of their weekly Community Supported Agriculture boxes, which contain seasonal and oftentimes exclusive produce grown on their farms, for people to check out. With the two-part celebration ready to go, Look said that she hopes “there will be as many students, faculty and staff as possible. Our vendors will be ready, and it’s going to be a really fun day.”

Features Spring 2013 MA¯NOA UNDERGRADUATE POLITICAL INTERNSHIP PROGRAM Open to full-time UHM Juniors & Seniors
„
The Ma¯noa Political Internship Program was an integral part of my interest in law. Interning during the passage of Hawaii’s civil unions bill and helping deputies prepare their cases for trial provided a degree of insight into the creation and enforcement of laws that I couldn’t have gained in the classroom. It truly was a unique experience that I would recommend to all students. -Davin Aoyagi, Ka Leo Editor in Chief Intern for Hawaii State Legislative Internship & Prosecutor’s Office Internship

Voting is a privilege – so use it JACKIE PERREIR A Associate Opinions Editor
When it comes to pop culture, our generation never hesitates to show its devotion. We fl aunt T-shirts that say “#YOLO,” tattoo hipster mustaches on our fi ngers and then post pictures of ourselves on Instagram. But this zeal is lacking when it comes to voting. We seem to think that our vote doesn’t matter. But that’s where we’re wrong.
VOTING IS A PRIVILEGE We takes voting for granted. It’s crucial for us to realize that we’re fortunate to live in a nation where we’re free to have our say as opposed to living in a dictatorship,

forced into silence and conformity. In North Korea, a 29 -yearold dictator’s idea of a lenient law is to unban foods like pizzas and hamburgers. In Egypt, millions of citizens rioted to protest their oppressive government. It took over 900 dead and 6,000 injured in order for Egyptian citizens to hold their fi rst free election in May. Voting means appreciating and taking advantage of our freedom. The deadline to register to vote in the general election is Oct. 8. Registering is a matter of printing out and mailing in a form. Voting locations saturate the island, and if you can’t make it on Election Day, you can send a mail-in ballot instead or vote early at City Hall. The act takes less

than ten minutes – a fraction of the time the average student spends on Facebook, and an easy step to take for what we can get in return.
WE DECIDE OUR FUTURE “Our generation has the most to gain as well as the most to lose with elections and the actions of government. There is so much at stake when you look at the type of legislation that the city, state and federal governments are currently considering,” explained Young Democrats of Hawai‘i President Francis Choe, a 2011 University of Hawai‘i at M ā noa graduate. Examples of this pivotal legislation include the Honolulu rail transit project and Obama’s student loan plan. Both have the

power to either make or break our near future, and not many of us realize this. This direct effect is why we should be the ones who rise up to support or oppose them. Our government controls many issues that directly impact our lives, and the most effective way for us to influence their decisions is to vote for what we want.
BE WELL-INFORMED We must do research before casting our vote so that we can make sure that our vote represents us accurately as individuals. As young adults, it ’s irresponsible and embarrassing to sway towards an idea just be cause Oprah stands by it or because it ’s what ever yone else

thinks. Read the paper. Watch the news. Don’t remain ignorant. We must engage our critical thinking and develop our own ideas, especially on politics, whether we agree with the popular opinion or not.

Fujimoto scored both goals for the ‘Bows, including the game-winning point with six minutes left in the match.

honors in her four years with the Menehune. In addition, she led the state in scoring for her final two seasons. Last season, she recorded her first multi-goal game against Hawai‘i Pacific, which made her the first UH Mānoa freshman to score multiple goals in a match since 2002. With three goals in three games thus far in the season, she has already matched her scoring total from last year and looks to add to it when the ‘Bows host Drexel at the Waipi‘o Peninsula Soccer Stadium this Friday at 7 p.m.
