CAITLIN K ELLY Associate News Editor Welcome to Ka L eo’s Finals and Grad Sur vival Guide. It ’s easy to get caught up in the frenz y of finals week. But go in with a plan, and you’re sure to make it out sane – and Ka L eo seeks to help you in that pro cess. We’ve provided a breakdown of study strategies, quick DI Y eats and paper tips to guide you to success this week.

A nd once you shake off the stupor of exams, look towards graduation and the future with our advice for nailing that job inter view and throwing a de bacher y of a grad party. We’ve also recapped some of the biggest news of the past semester, including the Wonder Blunder and election season.

Thanks for supporting Ka Leo this semester. Keep following us on kaleo.org to see our web-only coverage through winter break. We’ll return to newsstands on Jan. 7 with our Welcome Back Issue. But before we go, here are some general tips for test-taking triumph.

M A N AG E YO U R T I M E Be sure to divvy up your time among activities that are worthwhile. Create a schedule of when you will study for each class, and be sure to allot time for breaks as well. You will feel accomplished when you’re able to check various tasks off of the list.

T U R N O F F D I S T R AC T I O N S It’s happened to us all before: We take two hours on an assignment that should have only taken 30 minutes. To prevent this, refrain from texting and social networking. I find music distracting, but if you need to be plugged in, then try listening to music without words.

CHOOSE STUDY BUDDIES WISELY The term “strength in numbers” does not apply to study groups.

While they have potential to serve as a forum for discussion, they can go astray just as easily. Be sure that the members of the group are working toward the same goal and are willing to put in the effort to get there.

DECIPHER THE EXAM Will it cover a specifi c section of the course or will it be cumulative? Will it be multiple choice or open-ended questions? Figuring out the answers to these questions will make it easier for you to spend your time studying content that is worthwhile.

S TAY P O S I T I V E Even if you’ve pulled multiple all-nighters and are questioning your decision to go to college in the first place, just remember that finals will all be over within a week’s time. A fter that, you’ll be rewarded with a few weeks where you can spend your time however you want.

Apps for attacking procrastination

The days leading up to finals can be busy, stressful and hectic. Passing the hours commenting on Facebook posts, scanning Tumblr or chatting with friends may seem enticing, but it only reduces the time that you have to study for your allimportant exams.

Although technology has long been one of the biggest contributors to procrastination, these apps aim to turn your smartphone or tablet into a powerful tool to help you manage time wisely. Give one of these apps a try, and you may just find yourself prepared come exam time.

ʻP RO C R A S T I N AT I O N PUNISHERʼ

Cost: Free Available through: Google Play

If playing games, messaging or surfing the web on your smartphone takes up more time than you wish it did, this app may be a solution. Developed by Great Bytes Software, “Procrastination Punisher” allows you to lock the applications that normally distract you from your work by adding them to a list and selecting the hours when they will be unavailable to you.

There is a way around the block – users who cave have to make a small donation to the charity of their choice. By charging a credit card that you register before setting your preferences, this app discourages procrastination by hitting you where it hurts – at least, in the financial sense.

The app costs nothing to purchase and install – and it’s your job to make sure it stays that way.

health cafe

ʻ T E N P L U S T WO ʼ Cost: $0.99 Available through: Apple Store Designed around the idea of pacing yourself, “Tenplustwo” is meant to help you focus on work while taking a regular break. The app itself is a timer that functions in 12-minute cycles, each consisting of 10 minutes of uninterrupted work time followed by two minutes of free time. According to Breakthesystem, the designer of the application, the timer must be used at least five times in succession to be effective.

By focusing on your task for short periods of time and taking even shorter breaks, your larger objective will be broken down into manageable pieces and once you actually start working, you will be more driven to finish. While this app comes with a price tag, it is downloadable on iOS platforms.

Study Tips & Tricks

Page 5 | Ka Leo | Monday, Dec. 10 2012

5 sections to speedy studying Students with finals ask themselves, “How am I going to memorize so much information in so short a time?” A week like this calls for full brain function. Get the most out of yours by using methods of mega memorization: write it, read it, say it, hear it and work it out.

somewhere where you can make noise. A crucial part to memorizing is to say what you’re trying to remember out loud – sometimes, the louder the better. If you have never studied this way, it may feel awkward, which is good because embarrassing things are easier to remember. Talking under your breath will be less effective because when you say it, you can also hear it.

WRITE IT

HEAR IT

To promote effectiveness in your studying efforts, prioritize and condense the information you need into bullet points or fl ashcards. Start at the top of your list and copy your fi rst bullet point. Write it out repeatedly until you can do so without looking. Work down your list this way while periodically repeating earlier points to ensure retention.

This method utilizes your hands in studying and promotes muscle memory; just reading the material won’t have the same effect.

Listening is an effective way to learn. Why else do we spend so much time in lecture halls? Consider emailing the girl you saw recording every talk. If your textbook came with a code for an online audiobook, try it out. Listening to someone else read lets you focus on understanding and remembering. If you lack recorded lectures or audiobooks, don’t fret. Reading and studying out loud can be equally successful.

When you work out loud, you are essentially having a conversation with yourself, and conversations are easier to retain.

COMPILED BY BETH DORSEY Design Editor

READ IT Lecture notes and study guides can be helpful for remembering a list of data or terms but less useful when reviewing concepts. For essay exams, being able to explain a concept will earn you a higher score than being able to list a bunch of facts. Dig your $200 textbook out from the bottom of your closet and read the chapter your professor mentioned in the lecture.

Highlight the important points in the chapter for further review.

SAY I T Rethink your plans to study at the library, and study

WO R K I T O U T W hen all else fails, make it work. Finding mneumonics that have nothing to do with studying can help you remember – like a word that rhymes with the term you are tr ying to remember or a historical character that looks like your best friend. Think of a hand gesture, joke, a song or some outside thing that you can think of during your test that will basically ser ve as a “hint.”

Remember, the more types of studying you employ, the better your chances are of retaining the material you learn.

Break longer paragraphs into two shorter ones to add length to your papers.

BRANDON HOO Associate Chief Copy Editor

To cheaters, final papers may seem like an easy venue to exploit. The bottom line, however, is that a vigilant professor will catch these not-so-honest tips and tricks that we’ve compiled.

T H E BA S I C S

Avoid contractions and abbreviations in your paper. Contractions are discouraged in formal writing anyway, so you might as well spell them out. Writing out abbreviated words conveys the same meaning, but takes up more space. Try using “United States” instead of “U.S.” Using a full name instead of a pronoun is also a useful trick for gaining more space while maintaining meaning. “John Smith told Jane Doe” takes up twice as much space as “he told her.”

If the last sentence of your paragraph is near the right margin, add a few more words to bump the end to the next line.

BIG DOTS

E X PA N D I T

In Microsoft Word, hit Control+F and select “Replace.”

Type a period into both text fields and format the second so that it’s one or two sizes larger than the rest of the text. Click “Replace all” and watch as your paper extends itself. The same trick works for commas, but they’re more noticeable. For short papers, this trick might not work so well, but for longer papers, it can add on as much as a page.

Select all of your text and go to “Font” under the “Format” tab at the top, or right-click and select “Font.”

In the pop-up window, change the “Spacing” option to “Expanded” and increase it by one or two clicks.

Don’t go too far or your professor will know something’s up.

S P R E A D I T L I K E M A RG I N Most papers require a one-inch margin, but it’s likely that your professor may not notice if you bump it up to 1.1 or 1.2 inches.

S PAC E S PAC E Using two spaces after a period is no longer necessary, but some still do it anyway. Pretend you’re one of those that still does it and take advantage of the few hundred extra spaces you can gain.

D O N ʼ T D O U B L E S PAC E Instead of double-spacing your paper, go to the paragraph-formatting window (it’s the same as the font one above) and select “At Least” and switch the spacing to 2.2, or if it requires a point size, try 32 or 33.

A L L I N YO U R H E A D Write your name, class or essay title with the page number into a header to add a little padding to the top of your page.

Subheads within your paper also add a few lines throughout your story with little effort. Separate your essay into subjects and label them with a heading.

Preparing for final exams usually entails taking notes, reading and memorization, but few ask the important question, “What should I wear?”

COLORS Studies have shown that certain colors increase productivity. For example, pale blue helps keep people focused, and deep red boosts energy. Bright colors should be avoided, as they can be a distraction. Put on some clothes that will keep you going: Try matching pale blue jeans with a deep red top, and you’re good to go.

E X E RC I S E Exercise enhances productivity in the workplace, so use it to boost your grade.

Work-out clothes can be comfortable to lounge around in, and they come in all sorts of colors that can increase productivity. Moreover, if you need a study break, then you can just head down to the gym for an hour to get your blood flowing again in the appropriate attire. You could even bring a notebook to the gym so you can master studying and the treadd-d mill simultaneously.

You’re going to need to study for a long time to achieve greatness on those tests. If you’re wearing uncomfortable clothing, then you’re going to be focusing more on your itchy back than on chemistry. Whip out your favorite baggy sweater and sweat-

A class of your own SARAH NISHIOKA Opinions Editor

Many students try to look their best on the first day of class to impress their peers and professors.

Many of those same students are the least motivated to dress up in the last week of school.

If your exams are early in the morning, or you’re worried about sleeping in too late, collect your outfits ahead of time and set them aside.

The only thing you should be worried about as you are rushing to an exam is how well you’ll do, not how well you’ll dress. Here are five outfits that will make you stand out as you sit down to take your final exams.

MO N DAY, D E C . 10

Business casual clothing, informally called “bizasual,” is a midway point between everyday school wear and formal business attire.

Ladies can match a pencil skirt with a bright-colored button-down shirt, and men can do the same with slacks. Cream-colored bottoms mixed with red or another color top is in style. For a more casual look, wear jeans or denim capris with the shirt and your “Sunday best” slippers. Looking like you know what you are doing is a step toward actually knowing what you are doing.

T U E S DAY, D E C . 11

T H U R S DAY, D E C . 13

Adopt a happy-go-lucky look on the second day of exams to improve your mood and give you a good outlook for the week. Ladies should wear flowing dresses or skirts that allow for free range of movement, accented with the fun jewelry that you wish you could wear every day but don’t. Men can wear light-colored shorts and a dark shirt or a dark pair of shorts and a bright top as long as there is one eye-catching article of clothing to break the monotonous shirt-pants relationship.

Thursdays may seem like the day to wear sweatpants and a T-shirt, but be aware that these comforting pieces of clothing signal defeat. Drop the “asual” in bizasual and be all business: Trick your subconscious into believing that you haven’t given up yet.

Men can wear slacks, a button-down shirt and their most interesting tie, matched with a suit jacket. You may be tempted to just wear slacks and an aloha shirt – but that combination, while easy, makes you appear older than you are. Ladies should grab their favorite party dress and match it with a jacket and sensible shoes; heels may look good, but fl ats or sandals won’t slow you down on the way to success.

W E D N E S DAY, D E C . 12 Wednesdays are diffi cult because you feel as though it should be the weekend, but you still have two days to go. Keep the word “active” in mind: Don’t wear your gym clothes, but fi nd something to remind you to be on your toes and ready for exams. Tennis or running shoes are a good idea on a day when you might be dragging your feet.

Men should wear loose-fitting pants that don’t restrict movement but are not so loose that they can fall and trip you. Ladies should do the same, with only light makeup and jewelry to avoid feeling weighed down by accessories.

F R I DAY, D E C . 14 All exams should be finished by 4:15 p.m., according to the official exam schedule, which leaves you plenty of time to do something fun when you finish. Wear your bathing suit to class and cover it with a sundress or board shorts and a polo shirt, depending on your tastes. Try not to stumble over your classmates when you hand in your exam and make a run for the door.

The perfect outfit won’t help if you don’t study. Turn back to pages 2-5 for study tips.

Are you a ‘caffeine’-d?

SAR AH NISHIOK A Opinions Editor The best-selling drug in America is caffeine, a neurological stimulant that provides a burst of energy for 90 percent of Americans every day. Many college students rely on it to power through exams, papers and late-night study sessions. It can be found in chocolate, soda, tea and, of course, coffee, but how much are you really getting? Here is a short breakdown of common sources of our country’s most popular stimulant, plus safety information that every student should know.

COFFEE AND ESPRESSO According to the Mayo Clinic, the average cup of brewed coffee contains between 95 -200 milligrams of caffeine. This range is large due to different beans and cleaning and roasting processes, which may remove some caffeine from the bean.

Decaffeinated coffee is regular coffee put through intensive water or chemical solution processing. The highly caffeinated residue of this process is usually sold to soda companies.

Espresso is made by pressing steam through finely ground coffee beans, resulting in a small amount of a very dark, bitter and aromatic liquid. A one-ounce shot of espresso contains 40 75 milligrams; for reference, a 16 -ounce (or “grande” size) latte at Starbucks has about 150 milligrams because it is made with two shots of espresso.

A single 5-Hour Energy shot contains 207 milligrams of caffeine – essentially three shots of espresso – in a single twoounce dose. Both the regular and sugar-free versions of the AMP

energy drink contain about 72 milligrams, which is the same for Full Throttle. Red Bull, Rockstar and Monster have roughly 80 milligrams in an eight-ounce container. Vault rounds out the low end of the spectrum with 47 milligrams – still more than the average soda, but less than other energy drinks.

Pepsi and Coke, for example, only have about 35 milligrams of caffeine in a 12-ounce bottle.

Don’t be fooled: Energy drinks that claim to have guarana, a type of berry found in the Amazon, aren’t selling you something special. They are just giving you something with more caffeine and other stimulants like theobromine and theophylline.

Guarana seeds have roughly twice as much caffeine as coffee beans and are usually added to sodas in a powder form.

cause insomnia, anxiety and nausea. If you drink even half that amount, doctors suggest increasing your water consumption because it is a diuretic that can cause dehydration. Sugar, which is present in large amounts in many of these drinks, is also a diuretic and provides calories but no nutritional value. Losing the “freshman 15” will be hard if you are addicted to sugary lattes or energy drinks.

Suddenly stopping your caffeine intake can produce withdrawal symptoms, including headaches, restlessness and irritability. Caffeine is a college staple and a tool for getting things done, but please consume it responsibly.

TEA The average cup of hot black tea contains anywhere from 14 to 61 milligrams of caffeine, again because of different processing methods and types of tea leaves. Green tea averages around 24 to 40 milligrams. For reference, a tall can (23.5 ounces) of Arizona Iced Tea contains 34 milligrams.

RISKS Ingesting more than 500 to 600 milligrams of caffeine a day is known t o

Monster energy drinks range in caffeine content from 135 mg in a 16-ounce Monster Zero Ultra to 240 mg in the 3-ounce Monster hitman Sniper energy shot.

The primary problem with the non-medical use of Adderall is its long-term effects. Between 2000 and 2005, the Food and Drug Administration found that mental problems including mania and hallucinations were caused by abuse of the prescription drug.

As someone who has witnessed Adderall abuse, I know how it affects relationships between users and non-users, causing uncomfortable situations between roommates, friends and family. Students need to understand what this drug does to their bodies: The performance boost is not worth the consequences.

Individuals diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactive disorder take Adderall as a calming drug. If an individual without ADHD takes Adderall, an opposite effect occurs and causes stimulation within the brain’s frontal cortex, allowing for heightened motivation. Adderall is colloquially known as “speed” due to its amphetamine-related contents that cause mental stimulation and physical addiction.

A study conducted in 2008 by the Study for Substance Abuse Research found that among the 1,200 students interviewed, Adderall was the most popular drug taken to assist in studying, putting it ahead of another ADHD medication called Ritalin. In 2009, the National Survey on Drug Use and Health concluded that students aged 18 to 22 who were full-time college students were twice as likely to abuse Adderall than those who were only part-time students. Additionally, 90 percent of non-medical users combined the drug with alcohol.

It is illegal to use Adderall without a prescription, as it can cause risks such as a stroke or heart attack. across the nation argue that Adderall is acceptable because it is a prescription drug, not an illegal one. In comparison to other stimulants like cocaine, the use of prescription drugs seems harmless. Students also claim to have the symptoms required to take Adderall by “self-diagnosing” themselves with lack of concentration during class and other common ADHD symptoms. In order to obtain these prescriptions, students lie to doctors or buy the drug from street dealers or friends.

Not only is Adderall use affecting individuals who take it without a prescription, it’s causing problems for those who actually require the drug. In the past six months, 96 percent of pharmacies in America experienced Adderall shortages and 81 percent of American pharmacies have raised the cost of the drug in order to cope with the shortage. A study by Northwestern Medicine showed that the number of ADHD diagnoses has risen 66 percent in the past 10 years.

Students abusing Adderall are hurting themselves. By knowing the long-term effects of Adderall, students are more likely to avoid nonmedical usage.

Break out with a break CAITLIN K ELLY Associate News Editor

If you’ve reached your last straw, keep calm and try some of these ďŹ nals week relaxation tips.

DO NOTHING Take a five to 10 -minute break during the day to just do nothing. Turn off your electronics, close your books and find a quiet place where you can sit and relax. This will give you time to recharge so you can finish the rest of your work strong.

E AT S U P E R F O O D S Avoid foods that are high in caffeine and sugar; they may give you a pick-me-up for a short amount of time, but once it wears off, you’ll be more tired than before. Instead, try foods that are rich in antioxidants, like blueberries, oranges or cottage cheese.

WA L K I T O U T A brief, low-intensity work-

out is a great way to relive some stress. By low-intensity, I don’t mean a competitive football game or a hardcore soccer match. Taking a walk around the block with a friend or a dip in the pool will help clear your mind.

G E T S OM E S L E E P W hen there are piles upon piles of work to be completed, students may stay up all night to finish. But depriving yourself of sleep will only make you more stressed and less able to perform on exams. Tr y to get at least seven hours of sleep. If you absolutely can’t, take short power naps to stay charged.

C H AT W I T H F R I E N D S Sometimes, all we need is a sympathetic ear to vent our frustrations to. If you find yourself overwhelmed, speak with a friend about the causes of your stress and be willing to do the same for them. Chances are, they’re having some of the same troubles as you.

Grandness of Graduation

Thinking about going to graduate school?

A LEX BITTER Senior Staff Writer

Regardless of what career field you hope to enter, some form of graduate, professional or other occupation-specific training is usually an option after you get your undergraduate degree. Any student considering a graduate or professional degree has a lot to think about before he or she dives into the application process.

Whether you’re a freshman just contemplating a degree beyond your bachelor’s or a senior wondering if applying was the right choice, here are some factors to consider about today’s graduate and professional school landscape.

C U T - T H ROAT C OM P E T I T I O N Getting into grad or professional school has never been easy, but the competition has become stiffer over the last decade. According to a report released this fall by the Council of Graduate Schools, applications to graduate schools have stagnated somewhat, but the average yearly increase in applications for all fields has hovered around 5.6 percent since 2001. But the overall acceptance rate of U.S. graduate schools has ticked down to 40.8 percent as of fall 2012.

But these numbers miss some important nuances in recent trends. The applicant pool has grown in some fields, such as math, computer science, the health sciences and engineering, while shrinking in others, such as education and the arts and humanities. Thus, while the overall outlook remains competitive, the amount of competition you face depends on your field.

MO N E Y, MO N E Y, MO N E Y As the recession has taken its toll on state budgets and donations to private endowments, public and private universities alike have seen the amount of money allocated to their graduate and professional programs fall.

These decreases can hurt funding for graduate student research positions, teaching assistant positions and internships. This means that more prospective students are competing for less money to fund their education.

Another fi nancial consideration is the earning potential of jobs. While paying tens of thousands of dollars for a Ph.D. may not pencil out in some areas, other, more lucrative fields with better starting salaries may make paying off student loans less scary.

As costs for professional schools have increased, a steady contingent of students

ACTIVEFREE / FLICKR

Be sure to consider the testing you will have to do for grad school like the GMAT, GRE or LSAT. have made their career decisions based on what specific positions tend to pay the best.

In a 2011 interview with National Public Radio, Daniel Callahan, former president of the Hastings Center for Bioethics and Public Policy, described a growing interest among medical school students in obscure specialty fields, which tend to be more intellectually stimulating and pay better than most positions as a general practitioner. If you are headed into a profession where starting salaries tend to be high, then it may be worth your while to go into more debt for your degree.

W H E R E T O G O?

While the University of Hawai‘i offers nationally recognized programs in several graduate fields, it may be impractical to stay within the state for some. Applying to professional schools requires flexibility, since the best option fi nancially or academically may not be the closest one.

When you are hoping for a teaching assistant position or a fellowship, setting your heart on one school or part of the country is setting yourself up for disappointment. It pays to find several places that you are happy to attend.

Throw a ‘smashing’ party

CHASEN DAVIS / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Congratulations

Establish rules for drinking games to avoid drunken arguments.

JOSEPH H AN Staff Writer With a semester of academics, papers and nights of exhaustion behind you, the future awaits. It’s a time to celebrate achievements, forget about ground control and drift off with your friends by hobbling forward, swaying in camaraderie and purging yourself of work anxiety. Throw a house party befitting a great send-off and let the worrying come later with good cheer taking priority.

FOOD Never drink on an empty stomach. If you want your guests to nurse their intoxication well into the night without having to take care of the sick, keep the hunger at bay. While providing snacks and enough plates or utensils to go around, arrange for everyone to contribute actual food.

For sanitary and clean-up purposes, remind everyone where the restrooms are or instate a throwup zone. Accommodate everyone’s tastes so that guests won’t have to eat before coming or make a food run later in the night.

E N T E R TA I N M E N T Your guests should keep themselves entertained. Play music (not too loud if you want people talking, or loud enough for a dance), have people agree on a movie to watch or set up places for drinking games. Keep chairs to a minimum so people stay standing and moving instead of being stumps.

DRINKS Keep it cool and varied. There’s no such thing as more than enough, and while providing your own supply of ice, beer or hard liquor, keep in mind the preferences of your guests.

Though they can bring their own favorites to the stock, have enough variety for an array of poisons to pick.

For those needing chasers, make sure you have enough soda, energy drinks or juice at hand, which also accomodates for guests who won’t partake in the boozing. Be sure to have enough water to keep your guests hydrated, and be an upstanding citizen by keeping a garbage bag around for recycling.

SAFET Y Have a sense of responsibility: Let everyone drink at his or her own pace and gauge the types of drunks and their level of intoxication. Establish an effort to take keys away from incoherent wouldbe drivers and phones from compulsive texters, all while calming hostile drunks and encouraging clownish or happy ones. Distinguish a pass-out area from the throw-up zone; however, both may become one and the same. As the graduate, be wary of being targeted as the victim to drinking pressure (or embrace the challenge).

SPEECH Here’s your chance to make an impact and put a nice cap to an important transitional period spent with good company. Thank everyone, show appreciation and embarrass yourself.

Aloha!

Congratulations to our Fall Class of 2012 graduates! On behalf of ASUH, we wish you all the best of luck in the real world and in your future endeavors. We also would like to congratulate everyone for a successful semester and we are looking forward to a fantastic 2013! Happy Holidays and be safe over the winter break!

Sincerely, Richard Mizusawa President, ASUH

DAVIN AOYAGI Editor in Chief Whether you’re planning to enter law school, medical school, graduate school or enter the workforce after your undergraduate degree, it’s important to recognize the value of good grades. Here are some reasons why grades are important.

PERSONAL PRIDE Having a transcript marked by dozens of A’s and A+’s is more than a source of a high grade point average – it’s a source of pride. Being able to earn A’s is a potential indicator of excellence in work and of the determination and drive to produce that quality of work.

HONOR SOCIETIES For students pursuing certain

honor societies, a high GPA is a necessity. The local chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, for example, requires that students in their junior year maintain a 3.97 cumulative GPA and that graduating and graduated students hold a 3.70 cumulative GPA for in order to be considered for membership.

G R A D UAT E A N D P RO F E S S I O N A L S C H O O L S Students aiming to enter and pursue the medical or legal profession or attend grad school should realize how important it is to maintain a high GPA. Law schools will view a student with a high Law School Admission Test score with scrutiny if the same student has a low cumulative GPA – it may be an indicator that the student is good at taking tests but not at taking classes.

G R A D UAT I N G W I T H DISTINCTION

Since fall 2011, students at the University of Hawai‘i at M ā noa have had the option of graduating with distinctions: either cum laude (3.5 -3.74 cumulative GPA), magna cum laude (3.75 -3.9 cumulative GPA) or summa cum laude (any cumulative GPA above 3.9). Make your parents proud and aim to graduate “with highest praise.”

INTERNSHIPS

While internships do not ask that students maintain a high cumulative GPA, most have minimum required GPAs of 3.0. It can only help to present employers with a stellar transcript detailing classes relevant to the internship that they’re applying for.

Why good grades don’t matter BOBBY BERGONIO Contributing Writer A degree is a degree, and whether it’s graduating with a solid 4.0 or less than impressive 2.5 GPA, grades aren’t as important as you think they are. Here are a few reasons why bad grades aren’t the end of the world when entering the job market.

MO S T E M P L OY E R S DONʼT CHECK Most companies don’t look into transcripts when you apply for a position. Companies are more interested in how much experience you’ve had related to the job rather than whether you’ve passed history with an A. Employers judge your potential through your interview and resume.

N E T WO R K I N G I S MO R E I M P O R TA N T Relationships get you jobs, not transcripts. Many people are unaware of great positions because by the time a post is online or in the classifieds, another applicant

is already in line. The more you surround yourself with people already in your preferred career, the more likely you’ll fi nd your dream job. Internships and clubs are a good way to do this, and they don’t always require a high GPA.

P E R S O N A L G ROW T H Instead of going to graduate school, why don’t you go to the school of life? Good grades don’t matter in this program, because you set your own goals and standards.

Sure, you can’t receive a medical or law degree, but the experience you get through real-life trial and error is much more rewarding.

G R A D UAT E W I T H SELF-HONOR Earning a college degree is an accomplishment in itself. Only about seven percent of the world has a college degree, and you’ll be one of them. Make your parents proud by following your dreams.

Failure and rejection is inevitable in all careers, so stay ambitious and persevere. Don’t let bad grades restrict your aspirations.

CAITLIN KURODA Features Editor

Go to kaleo.org to see a breakdown of interviewappropriate dress codes.

B R E A K D OW N

B E P RO F E S S I O N A L

Guidelines for what to wear if your interview specifies a dress code

Choose clothes that are professional and conservative. Never wear jeans, slippers or sandals to an interview. Ladies, don’t wear skirts that end midway down your thighs, and guys, make sure your pants fit well.

Use your judgment or research online on what appropriate attire is.

BIANCA B YSTROM PINO Associate Design Editor Hawai‘i is known for its laidback atmosphere. However, employers expect an engaging attitude and, more importantly, professional attire during inter views. Here are some fashion statements that will not get you hired.

RU B B E R S L I P P E R S You might have the fancykine rubbah slippahs that you wear to weddings, but at an interview no one wants to see your bare feet. If shoes bother you that much, keep a spare pair of slippers in your bag and pop them on after all official business is done.

D O N ʼ T W E A R A H AT Whether you have sensitive skin or a bad haircut, there is no excuse to wear a hat. You may really like a baseball team, but having it written on your hat will not make you more appealing to the interviewer and will make it difficultt to engage eye contact.

A L I G N YO U R AT T I R E Aligning your outfit with your potential career and superior is as important as looking professional.

Do your research on the company that you are interviewing for – if it is a national finance company, going conservative may be best, but if it is a local boutique, it may be better to dress down and trendier.

L U C K Y S W E AT E R You may have passed all of yourr finals in this sweater, ter, and you may have ave climbed Mt. Evererest in this sweater, r, but on the day off your interview w your ancient “lucky” cky” sweater isn’t going to help. l It may keep you comfortable, but when it comes to an interview, keep your grandmother’s knit masterpiece in the closet.

CHOOSE C O L O R S C A R E F U L LY Colors can make a strong statement, depending on which ones you use. The safest choice is to go for neutral colors such as navy blue, gray or white. Black commands power, but can make you appear serious and unapproachable, so it shouldn’t be the color that dominates your entire outfit. Bold colors like red should be used very sparingly, if at all.

B OA R D S H O R T S

CHECK FOR CLEANLINESS How appropriate you look won’t matter if you have a stain on your pants or wrinkles on your shirt. Employers value a well-kept employee.

Inspect your clothing (shoes included) for any signs of dirtiness or wear and take steps to correct them.

Check yourself as well for good hygiene, clean nails and neat hair.

Better to stay home

S M A R T C A S UA L

BUSINESS FORMAL

Men

-Polo or long-sleeved button-down shirt with a collar, no tie -Dress trousers, khakis or chinos (black or tan preferred), denim jeans acceptable sometimes -Brown, black or gray dress shoes with dark socks

Unless you are going g to conduct your inter-view while also perfect-ing your doggie paddle,, you should not be wearing ing board shorts. They may be comfortable but they hey will show the employer yer that you aren’t serious ous about the job. If you can’t an’t take the job seriously, sly, why should employers ers take you seriously?

Study Tips & Tricks

Interview tips n’ tricks DAVIN AOYAGI Editor in Chief As a student applying to law schools, interviews have become a regular facet of my life. Here are some tips that I’ve picked up on the law school trail that may benefit you when interviewing for graduate school, professional school or a job.

B R I N G A H A N D K E RC H I E F If you’re ner vous while interviewing someone, bring a handkerchief to the inter view. Employers and admissions officers don’t want to conclude a strong inter view with a sweaty handshake – make sure you wipe your hand before you go for the final shake.

RE S E ARC H TH E SC HOOL/JOB M A K E S U R E YO U K N OW This is a cardinal rule be- W H Y YO U ʼR E A P P LY I N G

University of Hawaii at Manoa

Student Rec Services

hind any inter view: Make sure that you’ve conducted enough research on the school or the employer. K now what principles the employer/school values, and be prepared to bring them up during the inter view.

A nother rule behind any inter view is to make sure that you know why you’re applying for that position. Being able to talk about your passions and your reasoning behind pursuing a career path will allow you to rise above other applicants.

BE SINCERE, BUT NOT TOO SINCERE

Applicants that stand out are those who exhibit sincerity and passion when talking. Honest y and integrity are desired values at any job or school, and exhib iting such traits will only make you seem like a more qualified candidate.

However, students should be aware that complete honesty is not the best policy. You don’t need to relay the time that you had 18 beers and sped across the freeway. Such statements are likely to show that you’re less an honest individual and more someone that’s too liberal with your actions.

Recapping the Wonder Blunder DAVIN AOYAGI Editor in Chief Beginning with the cancellation of a Stevie Wonder athletics department benefit concert on July 10, the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa is still facing the aftershocks of the “Wonder Blunder.” Here’s a recap of the summer and fall fiasco fallout.

SUMMER July 10 At a press conference hosted by then-Athletics Director Jim Donovan, the Wonder benefit concert for UH athletics is canceled due to the concert being booked through an unauthorized third party.

July 11 At a press conference hosted by the Chancellor’s Office and UH System President M.R.C. Greenwood, Donovan and Stan Sheriff Center manager Rich Sheriff are placed on paid administrative leave. UH Vice President for Student Affairs and University/Community Relations Rockne Freitas is named acting athletics director. The $200,000 deposit for the Wonder concert is reported as missing, and FBI officials are assigned to investigate.

July 16 David Simons, an attorney representing Donovan, writes a letter to the Chancellor’s Office and Greenwood and claims that Donovan’s public suspension amounts to defamation of character, and that the university will be sued unless Donovan is reinstated as athletics director or appointed to a vice-chancellor position.

July 19 The Board of the Directors of the UH Mānoa’s Letterwinners Club send a letter to Chancellor Thomas Apple asking for the immediate reinstatement of Donovan and Sheriff to their positions held prior to being placed on administrative leave.

Aug. 11 In a memorandum from Apple, Donovan is offered a $204,000 position as director of external affairs and community relations. This job offer will eventually be seen as a settlement by the Board of Regents.

Aug. 13 Sheriff returns to his former position as manager of Stan Sheriff Center.

Strong season falls short of goal Rainbow Wahine volleyball recap M ARC A R AK AKI Sports Editor If there is a way to describe this year’s Rainbow Wahine volleyball season, it would be “hard luck.”

Hawai‘i finished the season with a 27-3 record and an undefeated 18 - 0 record in Big West Conference play. But its third loss of the season came in the second round of the 2012 NCA A Tournament to No. 13 seed Washington on its home court.

In the round of 32, Hawai‘i, ranked No. 8 in the AVCA Coaches Poll, fell to Washington, which was ranked No. 5.

Putting the tournament aside, the Rainbow Wahine had some thrilling victories.

Here is our choice of Hawai‘i’s five best wins of 2012:

No. 5

N OV. 30, 2 012 VS . SA N TA C L A R A Hawai‘i defeated Santa Clara in the fi rst round of the 2012 NCA A Tournament 25-20, 25-13 and 25-19. The ‘Bows traveled to Seattle, Wash., for the fi rst and second round of the tournament and defeated the Broncos to set up a match with host Washington. Sophomore outside hitter Jane Croson led the way with 22 kills, while junior outside hitter Emily Hartong added 17.

No. 4

N OV. 23, 2 012 VS . U C R I V E R S I D E Hawai‘i defeated UC Riverside to cap off its undefeated Big West Conference regular season 25 -17, 25 -17 and 25 -23. Hartong and Croson led the way for the Rainbow Wahine with 13 and 12 kills each. But it was the senior night festivities that the ‘Bows were waiting for. The night was

capped off with a marriage proposal from Chad Reis to lone senior Emily Maeda. And the answer was simple: “Of course.”

No. 3

O C T. 2 0, 2 012 VS . PAC I F I C

The Rainbow Wahine took fi ve sets to defeat the Tigers, 1425, 22-25, 25-16, 25-14 and 15-11.

After losing the fi rst two sets, the likelihood of dropping its fi rst conference match of the season seemed insurmountable. But Hawai‘i dug deep and defeated a scrappy Pacifi c team who, on Nov. 16, 2012, took the ‘Bows to fi ve sets again in California.

No. 2

S E P T. 19, 2 012 AT C A L - S TAT E N O R T H R I D G E The ‘Bows would not have gone 18-0 in the Big West without win No. 1, and it took five sets to earn it. Hawai‘i defeated Cal-State Northridge on the road 22-25, 25-16, 17-25, 25-17 and 19-17. The Rainbow Wahine were deadlocked with the Matadors at 15, 16 and 17 in the fi fth set, but a kill by Ashley Kastl and an attack error by CSUN gave Hawai‘i win No. 1 of the Big West Conference season.

No. 1

AU G. 26, 2 012 VS . S TA N F O R D

Hawai‘i was ranked No. 8 while Stanford was ranked No. 6, but it was the Rainbow Wahine who took down the Cardinal 17-25, 25-23, 25-15 and 25-17. At the time, the ‘Bows were 3-0 and earned a Chevron Rainbow Wahine Invitational title. But at the end of the season, the win meant even more.

Stanford was seeded No. 2 in the NCA A Tournament and had just four losses on the season.

K E Y P L AY E R S

Hawai‘i could not have won 27 games without big performances by key players.

Four Rainbow Wahine were named to the Big West all-conference fi rst team. Junior outside hitter Emily Hartong (4.66 kills per set), redshirt freshman Jade Vorster (1.08 blocks per set), junior setter Mita Uiato (10.44 assists per set) and sophomore outside hitter Jane Croson (3.89 kills per set) all made fi rst-team honors, and Hartong was also named Big West Player of the Year. Vorster also made it to the all-Freshmen team. Dave Shoji was named Co-Coach of the Year with Long Beach State’s Brian Gimmilaro.

A SPECIAL HONOR

Hawai‘i was honored by the Big West Conference with the fall sportsmanship team award for women’s volleyball. The award was voted by the studentathletes from each team.

In a press release, BWC Commissioner Dennis Farrell said, “These programs have exemplified the ideals of the Sportsmanship Award with excellent conduct in competition. Sportsmanship is taken very seriously by the conference as a representation of how we want our student-athletes to be viewed by others. It is a source of great pride to have those ideals fulfilled.”

Rainbow Wahine fall apart on the road JONATHAN C HIN Staff Writer

Senior midfielder Amber Fuller and the Rainbow Wahine scored an average of 1.45 goals per game.

ERIC ALCANTARA KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

The Rainbow Wahine Soccer Soc team saw mixed results this overall season, going 8 -9 -3 ove and 3-5 -1 in its return to the Big West Conference. The team t games, struggled with road gam achieving only one win aaway from home h and recording cord eight losses. H o w e v e r , playing Hawai‘i shone when pla at Waipi‘o Peninsula Soccer So Stadium by notching a 7-12 record.

UH’s 2012 sea-

son had an inauspicious start with two road games in Nevada, where the ‘Bows lost their fi rst game of the season to Nevada in a shut out (0-2).

They then won their lone road game victory against UNLV (5-4).

A fter their win against the Rebels, the ‘Bows returned home and notched two more wins against Sacred Heart (2-1) and Utah Valley (2-1), until coming up with a draw against Drexel (3 -3).

UH followed up with a shut-out win against BY U-Hawai‘i (3 - 0) and then another draw with Ball State (1-1). Hawai‘i would cap off their string of home games with another victor y against Detroit (21) to win the Outrigger Hotels and Resorts Soccer Classic title.

C H A L L E N G I N G PAT T E R N S The Rainbow Wahine hit the road to face Washington State and Eastern Washington. They lost both games 0 -2 and 2-1, respectively. The pattern of winning home games and losing away games would form for the team as they entered Big West Conference play.

After a quick trip home to beat the Alumnae team (4-1), they hit the road again for their final non-conference match against Cal State Bakersfield and their first Big West Conference game against Cal State Northridge.

They would lose against CSU Bakersfield (1-3) and lose their conference debut against CSUN (0-2).

The cycle would continue when Hawai‘i headed home to face UC

Riverside and win convincingly (20), but victory was short-lived. A few days after their win against the Highlanders, the ‘Bows would lose their only home game against Cal State Fullerton (0-1).

The pattern picked up right where it left off when Hawai‘i went back to California to face UC Santa Barbara and Cal Poly and then lost both games 0-1 and 2-5. Following their losses in California, UH returned home and recorded back-to-back victories against UC Davis (3-2) and Pacific (2-1).

Hawai‘i’s final two Big West games were away from home and, once again, they fell short of victory. The ‘Bows faced Long Beach State, losing in blowout fashion (0-5) and then had a scoreless draw against UC Irvine.

UH sports look to hit stride during winter break JOEY R AMIREZ Associate Sports Editor

M E N ʼS BA S K E T BA L L The Rainbow Warrior basketball team starts off the break with the first regular season trip to Moloka‘i in the history of University of Hawai‘i sports. The ‘Bows will face off against interisland opponent Chaminade on Dec. 15.

Hawai‘i will then return to Honolulu to host the 2012 Diamond Head Classic from Dec. 22-25. The ‘Bows open up the tournament against Miami, who is currently riding a fourgame win streak. Also participating in the Classic will be East Tennessee State, Indiana State, San Francisco, Ole Miss, No. 17 San Diego State, and No. 8 Arizona.

Following the Diamond Head Classic, UH will begin conference play by hosting a trio of Big West opponents. First the ‘Bows take on Cal State Northridge on Dec. 30, who opened the season 6-0.

UH then faces one of the highest-scoring teams in the nation in its fi rst game of 2013, as Cal State Fullerton makes its way into the Stan Sheriff Center on Jan. 4.

In contrast, Hawai‘i will end the break by taking on UC Riverside, which ranks among the lowest-scoring schools in the country ( Jan. 6).

WOM E N ʼS BA S K E T BA L L The Rainbow Wahine basketball team also features a large slate of winter break games de-

spite taking nearly a month off of regular season play. However, in the middle of this stretch, the ‘Bows will face off against Hawai‘i Pacific in an exhibition match on Dec. 18.

From Dec. 28 -30, UH will host the Bank of Hawai‘i Rainbow Invitational and open up against L ong Island. Cincinnati and A labama will also be v ying for the tournament title.

Like the men’s hoops team, the Rainbow Wahine will close the break with Big West competition. However, the women’s squad will play its conference games on the road against Cal State Fullerton ( Jan. 3) and UC R iverside ( Jan. 5).

M E N ʼS VO L L E Y BA L L Finally, the Warrior volleyball team opens up its 2013 campaign in Provo, Utah, on Jan. 4 and 5.

UH’s host will be BYU, who finished last year ranked No. 4.

Hawai‘i is coming off of a disappointing 2012 season (720, 4 -18 Mountain Pacific Sports Federation), which featured the most losses in school histor y.

Sophomore outside hitter JP Marks will look to build upon his fi rst UH season in which he was second on the team with 2.3 kills per set and fi rst with 1.17 digs per set. Hawai‘i will call upon Marks to help lead them back to the MPSF Tournament after missing it for the fi rst time since 2009.

FINALS WEEK…the mere mention of which makes students everywhere cringe. It’s a time when most students double as zombies, bingeing on caffeine and ignoring their bodies’ desperate cries for sleep in order to cram as much information into their brains and hopefully, retaining it long enough to regurgitate on demand. However, the friendly Campus Center staff is here to help ease the stresses associated with finals. If you’re in need of supplies, a place to study, or simply a quick coffee pick-me-up, Campus Center is the place to be. Stop by the Campus Center Bookstore for all your finals needs, whether it be notecards, printer paper, headphones so you can stay in the “zone”, or maybe just a new lucky pen to increase your odds of that much needed A. Also throughout finals week, the Starbucks located in Campus Center will stay open into the wee hours of the night, 1 AM to be exact, in order to supply that much needed study elixir (or just a sweet treat to reward yourself for doing any studying at all). And don’t forget to attend the Cram Jams held at Campus Center if you’re looking for a good place to study your nights away. Good luck!

Wide receivers Chris Gant (81) and Scott Harding (29) ranked No. 3 and No. 4 in receptions, with 22 and 20, respectively.

JOEY R AMIREZ Associate Sports Editor

Was it the perfect season?

Not even close.

In fact, most consider this year’s Warrior football team to be the worst since the winless 1998 squad. However, despite finishing just 3-9 and 1-7 in Mountain West Conference play, Hawai‘i showed signs of laying a solid foundation for year two under head coach Norm Chow.

The 2012 campaign began as most had predicted. UH was unable to keep the game close against thenNo. 1 USC (10-49) and then came back to Aloha Stadium to scorch their FCS opponent, Lamar (54-2).

However, what followed was one of the most painful stretches in recent Warrior football history, as UH was throttled at home by Nevada (24-69).

The team failed to rebound on the road and was manhandled by BYU (0-47) in UH’s first shutout loss since 1998. The next week was not much better, as Hawai‘i failed to make a dent against San Diego State (14-52).

A return to O‘ahu did not do much to help the team, as they lost their fi rst Homecoming game in a decade against New Mexico (23-35). Following a bye week, the Warriors kept close with Colorado State for three quarters but fell short of picking up their fi rst FBS win of the season (27-42).

More blowouts ensued as UH dropped to Fresno State on the road in a game that featured the Bulldogs pulling their starters after just one

half (10-45). Despite being back in Honolulu the next week, the Warriors fell to a dominant Boise State squad (14-49) team.

Hawai‘i benched junior quarterback Sean Schroeder in favor of sophomore Jeremy Higgins for its next game at Air Force. However, the change found little success when UH was held to just one score (7-21).

The tide fi nally turned for the Warriors with a return to the islands for their fi nal homestand.

Hawai‘i came out fi ring against UNLV and was able to avenge last season’s loss to the Rebels on Military Night (48-10).

Finally, UH ended the year on top as it managed to hold South Alabama to only 2.6 yards per play in the final game of the season (23-7).

The 2012 Warriors had many faults, such as suffering through the second-longest losing streak in school history and gaining the thirdfewest amount of total yardage in the nation (297.4 per game).

However, there were also gems amongst the rubble. Junior cornerback Mike Edwards won the team’s Alec Waterhouse Most Valuable Player Award for leading the country in kickoff return yardage (1,215) and ranking 12th in passes defended (16).

Edwards, who is leaning towards returning to UH for his senior year, is slated to lead the 2013 team along with former Ohio State quarterback and offensive Scout Team Award recipient Taylor Graham, who will be eligible to play next season after sitting out due to NCAA transfer rules.
