I can do vegan better than you.

Students travel along the main walkway between Dole Street and the Hale Aloha towers. TAYLOR MORRIS Contributing Writer The ďŹ rst week of school was a hectic time. With students moving into the dorms and starting classes, it was a week that some found overwhelming. One of the major issues on campus is the lack of available

student housing. There are many students in need of rooms. Nick Sweeton, associate director of housing, said, “currently we’re about 100 percent full.� According to Sweeton, ap proximately 3,600 students are living in the dorms this semester, all of whom moved into student housing prior to classes

starting last week. As move in began, new residents scrambled around, trying to get their new homes ready for the upcoming school year. Students moving into the dorms may have felt prepared, but they were soon rushing back and forth to stores for forgotten necessities. Students have already re-

ported issues with housing. The great amount of electricity being used overloaded outlets, many of which stopped working. Most have since been fixed. There are still bathroom locks missing and broken, making some restrooms nearly useless and at least inconvenient to everyone on See Dorm life, page 3

MIDDLE EAST Iraq – At the Um al-Qura mosque, an explosion caused by a suicide bomber has killed 28 people and injured 37. Among the casualties were children and Khaled alFahdawi, a Sunni member of the Iraqi parliament. The attacker hid the explosives on his body under casts and bandages and was turned away once, but returned. Syria – Syrian troops across the country shot down and killed at least seven protestors on Tuesday, just as Muslims were celebrating the end of Ramadan. Among the victims was a 13-year-old boy. At the same time, protests erupted around the nation following the morning prayer Pakistan – Gang wars have left over 1,000 people murdered in Karachi, one of Pakistan’s largest cities. Violent deaths and the tortured bodies of victims have led to an outcry for troops, who fi nally entered the scene on Sunday in an attempt to quell some of the confl ict. Libya – Tripoli, the capital of Libya, is suffering from a lack of water after pro-Gadhafi forces have cut off supplies. Sirte, roughly 300 miles east of Tripoli and the birthplace of Gadhafi, has been the source of 200,000 cubic meters of water per day. That is about two-thirds of all of Tripoli’s water supplies. But Sirte remains a stronghold for Gadhafi loyalists, and after the fall of the capital to rebel forces, the valves to Tripoli have been shut off. This leaves just 100,000 cubic meters of water available for the recovering city.

University of Hawai‘i Warrior football players senior linebacker Aaron Brown and junior wide receiver Darius Bright were arrested Sunday, Aug. 28 for assault. By Monday, UH Athletics offi cials announced that the two would be suspended from the season opener game versus Colorado and be required to perform community service. “Aaron and Darius used extremely poor judgment and in turn embarrassed the football program and the university” said Warrior head coach Greg McMackin in a press release. “These are two young men who have never been in trouble with the law before, but became involved in a situation where they did not make the right choices.” The Star-Advertiser reported that the two players were involved in a fi ght at a Waikīkī nightclub and were subsequently arrested on charges of third-degree assault, a misdemeanor. However, the two remain on scholarship and can attend classes. Meanwhile, officials said that both Brown and Bright will resume practice with the team, and a decision will be made early next week as to whether the pair will travel for the team’s Sept. 10 game in Washington. Response from UH football fans has been mixed. The comments on the Warrior Beat blog post about the suspension were mixed, but mostly dismissive of the incident and supportive of the team as a whole. Quinn Arakawa, a freshman whose family has season tickets and attends all UH home games, expressed empathy. “If I was a player … I would be mad if I worked my butt off – the season is starting soon, and not only are you screwing yourself but screwing up the team.” Others, like Joe Joyce, a sophomore biology major who heard about the suspensions from a friend, felt Brown and Bright should be held responsible. “Players should be accountable for all actions. The players should have thought a little more before what they did,” he said. But he qualified this by saying, “We don’t know the whole story, and until everything is taken care of, what happened is reasonable. But I feel bad for the players because they were at the wrong place at the wrong time before the season starts. Hopefully everything works out for the players.” As Joyce pointed out, fans may have difficulty in making a judgment due to a lack of information about the incident. Star-Advertiser reporter Stephen Tsai speculated in the comments section of his blog post, “From the fourth or fi fth-hand information I’ve heard, it does not appear that what [the players] did warrants a suspension for the opener. That’s my interpretation. McMackin and [UH Athletics Director Jim] Donovan have more information to make a more informed decision.” Paul Cabasag, a junior civil engineering major, said those in charge of punishment should be forgiving. “We do stupid things in college, and we may regret it. … I think it is just a one-time thing, and they should give them a chance because everyone makes mistakes,” he said. Victor Vidal, a senior who rooms with defensive lineman Jamie Abad and had a class with Bright in the summer, was also torn. “They knew what the code of conduct was. They knew the consequences, and they got caught. … If it is just a bar fight, yeah, what they did was wrong, but at the same time, it is a minor offense. I don’t think it is going to ruin the moral of the team.” Vidal said what he found more surprising was that Brown and Bright would risk losing their scholarships. “If I had a scholarship on the line, I would just stay home and try to stay out of trouble,” he said.

The freshman towers have a zero alcohol policy. For the other dorms, alcohol is allowed as long as it is kept in the rooms and everyone is 21 and up. those fl oors. Residents have also complained that the community kitchens in the Hale Aloha towers are “gross,” as there are “hoards of cockroaches,” according to residents Cori Grunenwald and Nick Pope. Many students are still trying to adjust to living on their own for the fi rst time. From small dorm gatherings to huge fraternity parties, students celebrated the new school year. Many students quickly learned, contrary to much media portrayal, that consequences would be enforced.

One fraternity party was broken up by police, causing many shaken students to quickly leave the premises. Multiple dorm parties have also resulted in writeups by resident advisors. “You have so much free time, there is no checking in with your parents, and you can fi nd a party every night,” said one new student who has already been written up for drinking in the dorms. Other problems are simply frustrating. One student stated, “I wish I could leave my clothes up there [in the laundry room] without someone stealing my stuff.”

Italy – In mid-August, the Italian government announced that towns of 1,000 residents or fewer would be merged with nearby towns, sparking controversy for residents afraid that this would lead to the homogenization of diverse customs and dialects. The mayors of some of the 1,963 affected towns relinquished the honorary keys to their cities as a form of protest. Other mayors announced they would accept displaced Libyans in order to raise their populations above 1,000, it has been reported. In the 598-person town of Filettino, located in the hills east of Rome, the mayor promoted an even more unusual solution; he prefers that his town become an independent state that he would rule as a monarch.

Senior Jay Ballard is a student assistant at the Women’s Center. The center is open for students to relax between classes from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on school days. JANE AU Contributing Writer The University of Hawai‘i at MÄ noa Women’s Center isn’t just for women. According to its website, it is dedicated to providing personal and educational support to help “all students – in good times and bad.â€? Today, the Women’s Center will be hosting its annual open house. At this academic-year kickoff, students and parents can meet the staff, enjoy refreshments and learn about the center’s programs. The center provides crisis services and legal aid, as well as sponsoring special events such as Women’s History Month. But while committed to helping women, the center also provides services to address issues of other student groups. One such program is Bridge to Hope, which assists students on welfare or First-to-Work participants, who would like to better their lives economically through education. BTH helps students get on-campus jobs and achieve academic goals. The center also supports the

Student Parents at MÄ noa program, which caters to student parents (moms and dads alike) who need extra help raising a family while working and going to school. SPAM seeks to increase the visibility of resources for student parents and helps students achieve their academic goals while juggling their many other responsibilities as parents. LGBT services are also available at the center. This program works not only to help LGBT students, but also to create an inclusive campus environment. Through crisis response services, a library of LGBT scholarships, educational programs, and campus and community resources, this service provides direct support to those who need it. The Men’s Group is a program that started at the center last year. “We get together a few times a month and discuss being in support of women and being against violence towards them,â€? said Women’s Center worker Chris Yanuaria. According to Yanuaria, the group also discusses masculinity and how it can stereotypically portray violence towards women.

He said that the group is “antiviolence,� and a welcoming, safe place for all males. The PAU Violence program promotes prevention, awareness and understanding of violence against women. The program provides training related to reducing sexual assault and relationship violence. PAU Violence works with students, faculty and staff, and is a collaboration between campus and community groups. Related to PAU is the UH system Sexual Violence Prevention Project, which is designed to address prevention of sexual violence on all UH campuses. This program has a prevention task force on each campus that helps to prevent domestic violence and sexual assault by educating students. Aside from being an umbrella group for a wide variety of services, the Women’s Center is also a safe place to hang out and relax. “[It’s] just a place they can come to,� said Women’s Center worker Erika Chinn-Galindo. “[It’s] basically a student lounge.� At the center, students can talk to the staff and receive counseling if they wish. The center has Wi-Fi hotspots, quiet places to study, and offers academic and personal assistance. “It’s a space to come see, eat, and meet the staff,� said Women’s Center worker Leslie Cabingabang.

TREVOR Z AKOV Staff Writer

We all have friends with quirky mannerisms and strange personal preferences. Some of our friends are over-the-top superstitious, some of our friends will go only to a certain venue or local hangout and nowhere else, and some of our friends only use products from speciďŹ c companies. And we all know that person who claims to be a “vegetarian,â€? but with a big asterisk. Based on principle and deďŹ nition, someone claiming to be vegetarian should be someone who does not eat meat, period. So why do so many make exceptions and excuses? Let’s run through the list of vegetarians and see how they measure up on the vegetarian ďŹ delity scale. First, at the top, we have vegans. According to Vegan.org, “a vegan is someone who, for various reasons, chooses to avoid using or consuming animal products.â€? This involves avoiding fur, leather, wool, down, and any product tested on animals. Vegans deserve the most credit because they are the ultra-orthodox vegetarians. They make no exceptions. They’re willing to inconve-

nience themselves whenever they eat out. Other vegetarians attempt to measure themselves up against vegans simply because vegans steadfastly hold the line in the no-meat, no-animal-product creed. Even complete vegetarians are put to shame when compared to vegans. Next, ranking a bit lower on the vegetarian fidelity scale, we have vegetarians who like to include dairy products into their diets, but nothing more. This genre of vegetarians also deserves some credit, as these people still do not eat meat. The next large cluster of vegetarians is where the ood gates are opened. In this group, the term vegetarian can be so twisted that the word becomes meaningless. These people eat eggs, egg byproducts, poultry, ďŹ sh, and anything else that lives in the ocean (except, of course, cute baby seals and dolphins). This essentially allows the person a moral boost by claiming to be a vegetarian, while still enjoying whichever meats they deem acceptable. Pescatarians, vegetarians who eat ďŹ sh, seldom realize the implications of their marine diet. Eating

high levels of seafood can contain toxins such as mercury. In addition, several of the most commonly consumed seafood species (tuna, swordďŹ sh and pollock), are overďŹ shed, creating a substantial strain on marine ecosystems. Flexitarians, people who occasionally eat meat, also deserve little credit, as their views change on mere whims. The mere fact that people announce their vegetarianism then need to spend an extra 60 seconds to further clarify what subset of vegetarianism they practice is reason enough to retire the term “vegetarian.â€? Instead, we should adopt a scale on which we rank an individual’s adherence to vegetarianism. This new measuring schematic could be a lot like the Richter Scale used for earthquakes, and could quantify the environmental impact of eating decisions. The enactment of such a greenfriendly initiative would have multiple beneďŹ ts, including incentivizing more people to be aware of their environmental impact based on the foods they eat – making it truly “hipâ€? to be an 8.5 on the vegetarian scale. If nothing else, it would save all of us minutes, if not hours, of our lives.

I still believe in hip-hop BOAZ ROSEN Associate Opinions Editor

I have a relationship with hip-hop. We have been seeing each other for a while now. But true hip-hop is being threatened by imposters. I ďŹ rst fell in love with her when I bought one of my ďŹ rst CDs in 1996: 2Pac’s double-disc greatest hits album. I was just a kid back then, and I didn’t truly understand the content of the raps, but I did feel his ow. From that moment, I was hooked. There was something raw about it, something that attracted me. After 2Pac, I learned about Biggie Smalls. Then came Dr. Dre’s “The Chronic 2001.â€? As our relationship grew, I started asking more of hip-hop, and saw that she was more than just gangster rap or R&B. I saw that she was made up of something much deeper. She was a form of expression with roots in the late 60s. That expression came from yearning to escape the harsh reality of the

NIK SEU / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

B-boying, along with DJing, MCing and graffiti, is known as one of the “four pillarsâ€? of hip-hop. heroin-infested ghettos of the time. When times are tough, just dance – and that’s what people did. Hip-hop was born from a party, a party that started with Kool DJ Herc, his two turntables, and his guitar ampliďŹ er. When he dropped that James Brown and that Bongo drum hit, he saw

something that inspired him. That something was hip-hop. When people heard it, they let loose. Some people even went down to the  oor, performing acrobatics. This became known as b-boying, or, as the media grossly distorted it, break dancing. When Herc saw these danc-

ers react this way, he began extending the break by looping the sample. By doing this, he created DJing. MCing, or rapping, came from the DJs who interacted with the crowd to keep them lively. Since hip-hop is a street culture, grafďŹ ti became its artistic expression. Afrika Bambaataa termed these the “four pillarsâ€? of hip-hop. When I realized I could become more than just a passive listener, my relationship with hiphop became something else. Now she provides me with a source of expression and a source of inspiration. She frees my soul, which is why it saddens me to see her used, abused and trashed by the commercial industry. Big business has had its grubby hands all over hip-hop since the 1980s, when it almost killed b-boying. Hip-hop is largely affiliated with rapping because it can be packaged and sold to the consumer. Granted, without its commercial exposure I never would

have learned about hip-hop, and it never would have spread worldwide. But these corporate rappers who dance around with bling in their mouths, talking about their cars, money and girls are nothing but the propeller of the consumer-driven machine. They drive our younger generation, prone to subversive messages, to strive for materialistic goods, rather than driving their goals and their passions. Music should inspire, not manipulate. There is still hope for you, hip-hop. There is still hope in your underground scenes, where new artists wait to go viral. The four pillars still stand strongly as cultures within themselves. There is still hope in the record labels that stay true to the lyrical content and quality production of beats. There is even hope in your little romances with electro and dubstep. But the important thing is for us to know what true hiphop is and to stay true to it.

If you feel trapped and have lost interest, then you’re answering your own question. This relationship isn’t what you want or need right now. Unfortunately, as much as you do like this guy and you don’t want to lose him, it will be the best for both of you in the end. If you prolong the constant back-and-forth feelings, you will only ensure that you are both hurt. It may seem cliché, but things do happen for a reason. You met this guy over the summer knowing you were moving here, but still continued the relationship. More than likely you learned something new to take with you in future relationships. But now that you’ve created a new life far away from home, you’ve probably realized that the best thing for you is to move on and enjoy the current situation – because honestly, you’ll never get it back.

Just end it! I know it’s scary, but it is the right thing to do. Obviously you have moved on and he has not – and will not until you let him go. If you really care about him, you would want him to be happy. You have a completely new life which has nothing to do with him. Everything has changed for you, and nothing has for him. If you guys are meant to be, you will be. You are young and don’t need to worry about him. Focus on school and having fun. My best friend told me a great quote years ago about long-distance relationships: “the four of us are very happy.”

Over the summer, I met this really great guy, and we started dating when I already had plans to move here. Now that I am here, I have kind of lost interest in him and just feel trapped. I don’t want to lose him, but I don’t want to hurt him either. I met this new guy a couple days ago who I am totally crushing on. I feel really bad and I don’t know what to do.

‘Bows gear up for tough competition Hawai‘i hopes to maintain momentum M ARC A R AK AKI Sports Editor

In her second year on the Rainbow Wahine volleyball team, sophomore setter Mita Uiato assumed the role of  oor general. “Starting setter is to get the game going, establishing your hitters and setting the pace for the game on our side successfully,â€? Uiato said. “That’s what I think about, going in to the game.â€? Uiato led the Hawai‘i attack to three consecutive wins last week to seal the Chevron Rainbow Wahine Invitational tournament title. She racked up 120 assists and directed the offense to hit .317. “I deďŹ nitely was really nervous coming in here. I got some big shoes to ďŹ ll,â€? Uiato said. “As the [matches] went on, I found a rhythm and kind

of just played like myself.â€? Rainbow Wahine assistant coach Robyn Ah Mow-Santos, who earned the coaching job in late July, served as UH’s setter from 1993-96. Ah Mow-Santos is also a two-time Olympian. Uiato welcomed the transition. “She knows where to go when it comes to hitters,â€? Uiato said. “She’s been helping me, and it’s obviously been working.â€? A nd A h Mow-Santos, who filled in for former assistant Kari A mbrozich, also a former Rainbow Wahine setter, feels that she has a good connection with Uiato. “During double-days, any input that I’ve given her she’s made an effort to try,â€? Ah Mow-Santos said. “She did ďŹ ne. [She was] maybe a little bit off with some of the outside hitters at times, [but] she’s only going to get better. “She is already pretty good at distributing the ball and she has a really good presence.â€?

DA N I E L S O N E A R N S H O N O R Senior outside hitter Kanani Danielson was named the Western Athletic Conference Player of the Week for her performance last weekend. Danielson racked up 40 kills in three matches, hitting .303. Her performance also earned her the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player honor. “[It’s special because] I did it with my teammates,� Danielson said. “I accept this award because it stayed here in Hawai‘i. It didn’t go to Arizona [CRWI runner-up]. It drives me crazy when we are hosting it. We should be able to take it, we should ... own every award. Even if it wasn’t me, I would want it to be somebody from our team.�

HAWAIIAN AIRLINES WAHINE VOLLEYBALL CLASSIC No. 10 Hawai‘i will host its second of three consecutive tournaments to open the season. The Rainbow Wahine will

open with Ohio State on Thursday at 7 p.m., will play Long Beach State on Friday at 7 p.m., and will conclude the tournament with UCLA on Sunday at 5 p.m. No. 22 Ohio State (4-0) will enter the tournament after winning the West Virginia Mountaineer Invitational tournament title. The Buckeyes are led by junior outside hitter Mari Hole, who leads the team with 3.92 kills per game. “We didn’t block that well,â€? head coach Dave Shoji said on last weekend’s performance. “We blocked okay, but I think we can block better. That’s one skill that we’ll go back and work on.â€? No. 23 Long Beach State (21) is coming off a four-set defeat to No. 8 Washington. The 49ers are led by Honolulu native Lauren Minkel (‘Iolani ‘08). The senior libero racked up 19 total digs in three matches last weekend. “I’m so excited,â€? Minkel said. “I grew up in MÄ noa, so I grew up as a little girl going to

all the UH games. It’s just really exciting to represent my school ... coming back home and playing in front of the home crowd. There’s nothing like playing in the Stan Sheriff [Center].â€? No. 12 UCLA (3-0) will come into Honolulu having won its ďŹ rst three matches of the season. The team is coached by former Rainbow Wahine assistant Mike Sealy. Sealy left Hawai‘i after its NCA A ďŹ nal four appearance in 2009. Danielson was coached under Sealy in her first two seasons as a Rainbow Wahine. “He knows us. He knows the old timers. He knows me,â€? Danielson said. “I’ve always loved being coached by him. And the best part is, I’m always trying to figure out ways to get better. And no matter what he knows about me, the goal is to keep giving him different reasons why he can’t figure out how to stop me. It will be a nice competitive match out there.â€?

“[We’d like] to make it to the WAC [Western Athletic Conference Championships] and win the WAC Championship. Then maybe into the NCAAs,� Lum said. “This is going to be a good season. We’re still moving forward, and improving every day.� Nagamine said she is looking forward to the rest of the season with the ‘Bows, with Lum at the forefront. “She sets a really good example for our team,� Nagamine said. “She’s a good role model for what we want people on the outside looking in to say, ‘hey, this is the kind of player we want at the University of Hawai‘i.’�

“Brittani was very versatile, very hardworking and very industrious,� Nagamine said. “It’s funny, because who I thought she was just from the outside looking in is pretty much exactly who she is.�

THE FINAL YEAR Now in her senior season as a Rainbow Wahine, Lum is looking back on her years at UH MÄ noa. “It’s been amazing throughout my four years. I’ve enjoyed myself with everyone on the team,â€? Lum said. “I’m kind of sad it’s going to end, you know. [Since it’s my] last year, [I’ve] gotta go all out.â€? Lum said she once dreamed of trying out for a team in the Women’s Professional Soccer League, but she isn’t letting those dreams overshadow the goal of completing her collegiate career with a bang.

Lum kicks it into gear mother said. “[She] decided to focus on soccer and cross country instead.” Growing up, Lum idolized soccer star Ronaldinho de Assis Moreira of Brazil. “He was one of my favorite players,” Lum said. “He was just really tactically and technically sound on the ball, and he’s good.”

Senior Rainbow Wahine defender Brittani Lum discovered her newfound passion at Saint Mel Elementary School in California. “I started off playing softball first,” Lum said. “I kind of got bored of it, then I switched to soccer, tried that, and I really liked it.” Lum played soccer for the first time in the fourth grade, and was hooked from then on. “I knew I wanted to play throughout college,” Lum said. “I wasn’t sure about going beyond that, but I defi nitely wanted to play Division I soccer.” When Lum started soccer, her mother Lori Lum was with her every step of the way. “She liked running around a lot; she had so much energy,” Lum’s mother said. “She really enjoyed the physical aspect of soccer, and she’d get really involved with it.” Like many energetic children, Lum was a multi-sport athlete. “She played basketball competitively right before getting to high school,” Lum’s

Senior defender Brittani Lum scored two of UH’s first three goals of the season.

Although Lum was born in Sacramento, Calif., both her parents are originally from Hawai‘i. “I defi nitely liked the environment, and people really welcomed me here,” Lum said. “I was familiar with Hawai‘i because I have family [here] – three of my dad’s brothers and two of my mom’s sisters.” With family to help her, it wasn’t difficult for Lum to move from California to Hawai’i. “She did want to go away from her home to experience college life, and then I think she really got sold when she went on a recruiting visit,” Lum’s mother said. “I was familiar with the atmosphere, with the local ways,” Lum said. “It’s defi nite-

ly different, and it’s more relaxed and easy to transition to.”

SOCCER SUCCESS

Although she wasn’t coaching for the Rainbow Wahine last year, head coach Michele Nagamine noticed Lum’s play while watching the team’s games. “Brittani emerged as one of my favorite players last year,” Nagamine said. “She was very consistent, she was good in the air, she was a great tackler, and she was one of the leading scorers.” Scoring seven of her eight career points in the 2010 season, Lum quickly surfaced as a leader among the Rainbow Wahine. “Brittani provides a lot of good leadership for us, primarily by example,” Nagamine said. “She’s not a really loud, get-in-your-face kind of player, but she does her job.” Nagamine was able to see what Lum was really like when she took the head coaching position in the fall of 2010.
