K A LEO O HAWAI ‘I THE VOICE OF HAWAI‘I
WELCOME TO UH MĀNOA
COURTESY OF JANA LYN DELA CRUZ
SOURCE: FILE PHOTO
To all incoming new students, Welcome to UH Mānoa. In this issue, Ka Leo O Hawai‘i has assembled some of the things you will need to know for the coming year. In addition to engaging in academics, there is a local experience for college students in dorming, nightlife and the community scene that make up the whole of what UH has to offer. We understand that preparing for your first semester of college does not always go as planned, which is why the following guide includes key information and reminders for you to head into the Fall semester ready to handle whatever college throws at you. The only thing I wish I was told before I started college: you should never walk into your first year expecting things to be mediocre. The Mānoa community is full of possibilities and opportunities. Join a few RIOs, get involved in some of your favorite departments, get to know some of your classmates and professors. College is about forging your own path, and making it up as you go along. For those of you who already think you know what you want to do: keep your mind open. When you focus too hard on a future you think you want, you may miss out on all the other experiences along the way. Something comes to mind about how focusing on the forest makes it hard to pay attention to the trees. For those of you who have no idea: take some time and explore. Just because your friend knows what they want to do does not mean you have to know, too. People grow and learn at different rates, and the only way to find out what you truly want is to experiment. Take advantage of general education requirements and electives. Try out classes in different departments and absorb as much as you can; the learning opportunities and resources available to you here are ready for you – all you have to do is look. Pick up this guide to Mānoa, and remember that all of us here at Ka Leo are cheering you on. If you like what you see, let us know, and stay connected. As the student newspaper on campus, we always love to hear from all of you. Go out there and grab life by the boba, or whatever else floats your boat. Sincerely, Spencer T. Oshita Editor in Chief
Aloha all! My name is Jannah Lyn Dela Cruz, and I am your Associated Students of the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa (ASUH) President for 2017-2018 year. First and foremost, congratulations and welcome to all incoming students to your new home, and welcome back to my fellow continuing students! Your Undergraduate Student Government is currently in our 105th year of serving, and represents approximately 11,000 undergraduates: a population of fellow colleagues, friends, roommates, and future graduating classmates. ASUH is comprised of executive members and college senators, whom all represent the undergraduate population as a whole, and by each school and college of our University. Our vision is to empower students through advocacy. We want to listen to your ideas and concerns, and be the voice to bring them to the attention of UH administration, and relative officials. We, ASUH, will work hard to advocate for change and improvements to enhance your academic and student experience through our means of advocacy. Whether it is providing funding, awarding scholarships and awards, formulating resolutions, and consulting all groups on campus, we are here to advocate for you. This is my fourth year serving on ASUH, and my passion to serve you continues to go on. I truly care about your experience as a student. As President of ASUH, serving you the best that I can, and the best that our senate can, is my priority. If you ever have questions, concerns, or would like to meet myself and members of the senate, we are located in Campus Center Room 211A. Students, I look forward to your successes that you will bring this year and wish you the best as you begin (or continue) your journey of finding yourself, your interests and building your own experience here at Mānoa. If there is one piece of advice I’d like to share, it’s “you do you!” Explore the significant amount of programs, clubs and projects our campus offers, and follow your interests. Have a great year, and congratulations to your time here at UH Mānoa! Jannah Lyn Dela Cruz President, 105th Senate ASUH

TACKLING TEXTBOOKS
ANA BITTER | CHIEF COPY EDITOR
Textbooks are a college student’s third largest expense, behind tuition and room and board. It may seem logical to find the cheapest option, but it is important to consider all factors, including what to do with them when the semester ends. In addition to the prices offered by various booksellers, options for purchase, available formats, shipping, return policies and buyback programs should factor into your choice.
- A BUYING GUIDE -
UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I BOOKSTORE A student’s source for lists of required course material, the UH Bookstore offers new and used textbooks for rental and purchase. In addition, eTextbook versions are sometimes available — with different study and accessibility features — which can be rented for 60 to 360 days. Physical books can also be rented, and returned to the Bookstore at the end of the semester. Books can be returned for a refund, with a receipt and without marks or plastic seal broken, within the first week of instruction. At the end and beginning of every semester, there are scheduled dates and times for on-site book buyback periods. You do not need a receipt, but what you are paid will depend on the demand for the book at the university in the next semester and nationally. Books that are custom-published or have water damage, missing or torn pages, too many marks and highlights, other severe physical damage or are missing required supplementary materials will not be accepted. The staff recom-
mends bringing books by in case they are saleable, or to get an idea of the going price, if you plan to sell them yourself. An online wholesale buyback program through the Bookstore’s website, MBS Textbook Exchange, is available year round, but might offer less for your books than the on-site buyback for the coming semester. Buying at the UH Bookstore lets you get books in person as soon as you are back on campus, or you can order them ahead of time online for easy pickup later. When searching for textbooks on their site, you can view price comparisons, for both purchase and rental, from other online providers that include a description of book condition, added materials and estimated arrival time. The Bookstore also staffs a Textbook Information Desk for assistance with book buying.
www.bookstore.hawaii.edu/manoa/ textbooks
CHEGG Claiming that you can “save up to 90% off on textbooks,” Chegg offers new and used books for purchase and rental, and eTextbooks. Its rental system and policies are similar to Amazon’s: a due date, free shipping upon return and penalties for damages or late return. But you have the restriction of only highlighting, not writing, in the book. You can return a book within 21 days of the order date using a provided prepaid UPS shipping label, but the website is unclear about shipping charges. Chegg’s buy-back program is limited: Price quotes are only good for seven days and books must be returned within that time. Chegg offers free shipping on orders
$50 or more before August 30, and though it claims to ship “anywhere in and everywhere in the United States” there may be extra fees for packages to Alaska and Hawaii. Shipping is estimated to take 1 to 10 business days, depending on speed of shipping chosen and destination. Chegg also offers a four-week free trial of Chegg Study, a study service that includes “step-by-step textbook solutions” and help from experts with 24/7 “expert Q&A.” When selecting an item, the site also promises “a little gift from Chegg!” that will be detailed after checkout.
AMAZON Amazon offers a range of textbooks, new, used (in different conditions), for purchase, rental and in eTextbook format, complete with study features. Its rental option allows you to rent a new or used book, depending on availability, for about six months. Supplemental materials are not guaranteed, but you have the ability to return it within 30 days (if fulfilled by Amazon), extend your rental period or purchase the book, and make limited notes and highlights. Return shipping of your rental is free, with a label accessed through your account. If the package is not received by Amazon postmarked by the due date, you will be charged for a 15-day rental
www.amazon.com/New-Used-Textbooks-Books/
BETTERWORLDBOOKS The company “uses the power of business to change the world” by collecting and selling books, profits from which go to donations and funding for “literacy initiatives worldwide.” The site boasts a “Book for Book” guarantee, where each purchase is matched with “a book donation to someone in need.” BetterWorldBooks offers only new and used books for purchase but, like Amazon and the UH Bookstore price comparison, it provides a list of individual copies with book condition and seller. A book returned within 60 days of purchase will be refunded upon receipt, but shipping costs will not be reimbursed. The site offers standard “free
shipping worldwide” and provides estimated “average delivery time” in business days, depending on shipping type, as well as shipping and processing estimates for books fulfilled by other sellers. BetterWorldBooks has a smaller selection with fewer editions and the site makes it harder to find the right book (not all have cover images or complete descriptions). But it is the cheapest and has the attraction of positive social and environmental impact with every purchase. The company is also helpful and willing to take specific cases into account when it comes to returns and other customer difficulties.

extension, and then the price of the book – but Amazon will send reminders. Through Amazon’s trade-in program you receive an Amazon gift card with the offered amount and free shipping on books you are trading in. The site keeps track of purchases and shows you what is eligible for easy trade-in. As with all Amazon products, shipping, estimated delivery times and return policies depend on the supplier. “Prime Student,” which offers a 6-month free trial, is half the price of an Amazon Prime membership with all of the benefits, including free two-day shipping.

www.chegg.com/books CHEMISTRY: MOLECULAR APPROACH, 4TH EDITION, LOOSE LEAF (FOR CHEM 161/162, FULFILLS DP)
Where to buy your textbooks depends on what you want out of a book. The UH Bookstore often bundles books with access codes, but if classes do not require that extra material it is cheaper to find the book or access code elsewhere. For certain specially printed texts, such as language textbooks, you might not have a choice.
Some instructors participate in Open Access or Interactive Digital Access Program (IDAP) that make course material available to you – they will inform you at the beginning of the semester. Or they might put textbooks for their courses on Course Reserves through the UH library system – see Hawai‘i Voyager Library Catalog.

How to conquer your GenEd classes A breakdown of your non-major requirements KEVIN HARRISON | NEWS EDITOR
FOUNDATIONS
WHAT IS THE GENED PROGRAM? The General Education program exists for students to gain a comprehensive learning experience through various courses and diciplines. The program aims to help students establish a larger understanding of the skills and knowledge applicable to their major courses. Through this, departments can work with students to create individualized learning pathways.
F W WRITTEN COMMUNICATION
F S SYMBOLIC REASONING
This is your English 100 course, or an equivalent class.
WHAT DO THE LETTERS MEAN? The first challenge some people might have with completing their GE classes is understanding what their abbreviations stand for. To the right are explanations of the classes you need and how they are abbreviated on the STAR registration website and course availability catalog.
PRO TIPS 01.
GE classes do not have to be a headache. They can be an opportunity to get out of your department, broaden your horizons and dabble in other subjects. If you take the time to find a class that you might enjoy, the GE requirements can be more bearable.
02.
If GE is something you really do not want to deal with, you might consider taking as many as you can over the summer. The classes are shorter and it will free up your schedule during the regular school year.
03.
You want to try and get as many of the GE requirements done as you can in the first two years of your college career because those will be the “easy” years when you may not be taking as many major courses.
04.
When you register for classes, the availability website will awlays have a semester marked “extension” (e.g. Fall 2017 Extension); this section is filled with online classes you can take to fill up GE courses. Like summer courses, you will have to pay per credit.
05.
If you can afford the travel time, you might want to consider taking some courses at the community colleges, because they offer smaller class sizes and you may find different classes you may like. But always make sure the credits will transfer.
06.
If you are the adventurous type, you can also try and fulfill GE courses on study abroad courses, but again, make sure the courses you take will transfer.
Symbolic Reasoning. This is typically your math class, but you can also take Philosophy 110 and 111, Introduction to Deductive and Inductive Logic, respectively. This class is being replaced with an FN designation and soon PHIL classes will not count.
F G A / B / C GLOBAL AND MULTICULTURAL PERSPECTIVE You need two classes and each has to be a different letter (e.g. one FGC and one FGB). History 151 and 152, Anthropology 152, Political Science 150 and Religion 150 are all good choices for this requirement.
DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS With the diversification requirements, you have a lot of options. So when it is time to register, give them some extra consideration and go through as many departments as you can to find a class that works for you.
D A / H / L ARTS, HUMANITIES AND LITERATURE Similar to the FG requirements, you need two classes and each has to be a different letter (e.g. one DH and one DA). History, english and art classes usually count, but majors in those departments will be required to fulfill the other two diversification requirements.
D S SOCIAL SCIENCES You need two social sciences classes from two different departments (i.e. you cannot take two psychology classes). Courses from the Economics Department, Political Science, Sociology or Psychology would fulfill this requirement.
D B / P / Y BIOLOGICAL SCIENCE, PHYSICAL SCIENCE AND LAB You need to take both a biological and physical science class, but you only need a lab for one of them. If you are not a science person, taking any DB or DP class marked 100 or 101 is the way to go, as they are usually designed for non-majors and will not get super technical.
OTHER REQUIREMENTS W OR WI
WRITING INTENSIVE
You need five of these classes, two of which need to be upper division (300-level or higher). The English Department may be your best bet, but many history classes are also WI. The social sciences are also a good place to go for WI credit.
HSL
HAWAIIAN OR SECOND LANGUAGE
Unless you are in a specific college, everyone needs four semesters of the same second language of their choice. There are many foreign and ancient languages offered, ranging from Russian to Thai to Sanskrit. Consult your department for specific language requirements.
E OR ETH CONTEMPORARY ETHICAL ISSUES
O O R O C ORAL COMMUNICATION
You need just one upper division course with the E or ETH designation. The Peace and Conflict Education Department usually offers a few ETH classes, but courses with this designation can also be hard to find. A class that was an ETH one semester may not be in the following semester.
You need one upper division course for this requirement, and it is much like the ETH course in that they can be hard to find due to particular courses not retaining the designation from one semester to the next. OC classes, unsurprisingly, tend to involve giving a few presentations.
H OR HAP HAWAIIAN, ASIAN AND/OR PACIFIC ISSUES You need one course at any level. Popular courses for this designation are Hawaiian Studies 107 or Pacific Island Studies 108.

How to use “Rate My Professor”
KEVIN HARRISON NEWS EDITOR
Registering for classes means trying to sort out the professors you want from those you do not, and — for many — that process involves going to “Rate My Professor.” Rate My Professor is an online database of university-level instructors across the nation. It rates individuals on a 1 – 5 scale, with 1 being the lowest and 5 being the highest. Instructors are also given a score for easiness, also on a 1 – 5 scale, and a set of tags or adjectives associated with the instructor, such as “tough grader,” “skip class? you won’t pass” or “inspirational.” Before you sort through the reviews, the first question you need to ask yourself when using Rate My Professor is whether or not you actually need it.
01 02 03 04 WHO NEEDS IT?
WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOU GOING TO SEE?
BEYOND THE NUMBERS
A WORD OF CAUTION
Many students use Rate My Professor as a decision-making aid – it helps them sort out which professors they want to take and which ones they should avoid. However, such a process might only be helpful to those who have several choices of professor for their classes. General education requirements, for example, allow you to choose courses from several departments. In this case, Rate My Professor can help to find instructors that are best for you. If your major department has only a few faculty members, it is likely that you will have most of the professors in your department as instructors at some point. In that case, Rate My Professor becomes a tool to mentally prepare yourself for the instructor. At that point, you might be better off talking to your classmates, as they can give you a more complete picture of an instructor than a Rate My Professor review can.
When reviewers leave their feedback for an instructor on Rate My Professor, they are asked to rate their overall quality and their level of difficulty. There is also a section that details the class the reviewer took from the instructor and when they took the class. The reviewer can provide more infomation, such as whether the student took the class for credit, whether attendance was mandatory, if the textbook was used, if the student would take the professor again and the grade the student received. A good review is one that includes all of the information above, but not all do. Once input, responses will appear on the professor’s page. An overall score, which averages all reviewer rankings, displays prominently at the top of the page. You might be tempted to just look at the numbers and call it a day. There is more you need to consider, however, if you want to get the most out of the website.
The most helpful section of the review is the comments that the reviewer leaves. You should look at the rating numbers and the comments together, not individually, so that you can form a more complete picture of the reviewer’s experience. However, be wary of the comments they leave. What might have been troublesome or irritating about the professor to one person could be fine for you. For example, you might find that one person rated a professor really low and their only comments were that participation mattered and class was mandatory. Such a review might not be helpful to you if you are someone who likes participating and has had perfect attendance since second grade. Comments can be short, too, sometimes lacking explanation for low or high ratings. The point: every review needs to be taken in its entirety if you want this website to be of any use to you.
Rate My Professor is an imperfect tool and should not be your sole source of information. It will not tell you everything you need to know about the instructor, and you may find yourself disagreeing with the reviews you read. While you can get an idea of how some students feel about a specific professor, their experience may ultimately be different from yours. Additionally, if someone does not have a Rate My Professor page, you might be looking in the wrong department, or they may be a new faculty member or graduate student. Either way, it is not a reason to panic – there is something to be learned from every instructor, whether good or bad. What do you think? Let us know @KaLeoOHawaii

Dorming must-haves Five items that will make dorm life much easier
PRICES BELOW $20* NOTE: Prices will vary based on sales in local areas. Consult your local Walmart and Target storefronts as well as all three websites for updated or accurate pricing information. Shipping prices not included.
JUSTIN HO / STAFF WRITER
Dorming can be an enjoyable and memorable experience – but it can quickly turn into a nightmare if you are unprepared. The essentials may be obvious: clothing, snacks and toiletries. However, there are a few musthaves that new dormers often forget to pack. These five items will make life much easier when living away from home.
*prices taken from first page of results using bold words as keywords
SHOWER CADDY
SHOWER CADDY Walmart: $8.99 – $12.95 (mesh) $7.81 (plastic) Target: $5.59 (mesh) $3.49 – $5.99 (plastic) $9.09 – $13.99 (leather) Amazon: $6.99 – $10.99 (mesh) $10.49 – $12.99 (plastic)
if there is one thing that will potentially be a hassle for new dormers, it is having to share shower rooms. In the dormitories, leaving personal items in the bathrooms is impractical, since they will either be stolen, used or thrown away. For this reason, investing in a shower caddy will be helpful for students who want to keep their shower necessities all in one place. In addition, carrying a caddy is much easier than having to balance bottles of shampoo and conditioner on the way to the bathroom. It will also minimize the chance of forgetting something essential and having to rush back to your room to get it, while hoping that no one else has claimed the bathroom in the meantime.

FAN
FAN
Hawai’i is almost always hot, and the dorms that do not have air conditioning suffer the most from the weather. For some dorms, the windows face direct sunlight, causing the whole room to feel like a sauna during the day. A fan can be used to quell some of the heat. It can also be used for circulation, making the dorm smell fresh and less stuffy. Oscillating fans are the most effective, scanning the room and creating breeze in more than just a single direction.
Walmart: $12.59 – $19.88 (variety) Target: $13.10 – $19.99 (table, speed box) Amazon: $9.99 – $18.65 (table, speed box)
DYLAN DEANGELO / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
WATER FILTER Though Hawai‘i’s water is fairly clean, there is more safety and peace of mind that comes with using a water filter. Some water bottles have built-in water filters, and there are also pitchers that can rid the water of impurities after being filled. Pitchers are especially convenient, as they reduce the need to constantly go and refill your bottle at the closest water fountain or sink — often not that close — in your building.
WATER FILTER Walmart: $16.97 – $18.69 (BRITA) Target: $16.99 – $18.69 (BRITA) Amazon: $14.44 (PUR)

DESK LIGHT Reading, studying and doing homework, sometimes until the later hours of the night, are quintesential to student life. Having a personal desk light will be useful for this purpose – especially if it can be adjusted to fit the student’s preferences. Though the dorm might already provide a lamp, a good personal desk light should come with an option to change its intensity, allowing you to keep it dim when your roommate is trying to get some much needed rest.
DESK LIGHT Walmart: $15.40 – $19.99 (folding, clipon) Target: $7.99 – $19.99 (folding, clipon) Amazon: $9.69 – $19.99 (clipon, desk)

AIR FRESHENER Whether it is you or your roommate causing that smell, air freshener is a necessity to keep the dorm room a place where you actually want to live. The lack of air movement, or the garbage that has been there for even one day too many, can quickly make the limited space of your room smell less than fresh. Be sure to coordinate with your roommate and find a scent you both can agree on. Otherwise, you might find out that your roommate hates the smell of roses after it is too late.

Organizing closet space for the average college student Easy ways to maximize space and avoid clutter
01.
Ralph Arista | Staff Writer While a closet may be intended as a space for storage, it can easily become a space of chaos and disarray. It is easy to lose things because of clutter. These tips will help you maximize space in your closet and ensure that you never again lose an article of clothing.
DECIDING WHAT TO PACK Before you even move into your dorm, take into account Hawai‘i’s weather. Even during fall and winter months, the average outside temperature rarely drops below 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Avoid packing bulky pieces of clothing like thick jackets and sweaters. Instead, bring at most two jackets that work for multiple types of weather. In any case, if you are worried that you might forget something, check with your family to see if they are willing to send any necessary items along later.
CATEGORIZE It is easy to lose something in your closet when clothes are put away randomly. y. Start by arranging your clothes into general categories, like casual wear, nightlife fe wear and work attire. From there, you can separate tops from bottoms and then n further categorize your clothing by color. While it may take a while to do this iniitially, organizing your clothes in this way can help you prevent future tardiness ss by making it easier to pick an outfit, even when you are in a rush.
03.
02.
EVERYTHING DOES NOT NEED TO BE HUNG While your first instinct after doing laundry may be to set every piece of Wh clothing you own on a hanger, consider what really needs to be hung. Only cl hang clothes that you need to keep wrinkle free, like work uniforms or formal h attire. Save space in your closet by folding clothes that you would normally wear to class or to lounge around in. These folded clothes can be stored in a dresser, if your dorm room comes with one. If it does not, invest in some space-saving storage boxes for these clothes.
FIND ALTERNATIVE PLACES FOR STORAGE Remember, not everything needs to fit in your closet. If your closet seems full and you still have more to unpack, try to find other spaces in your room to store your clothes. Your suitcase is always a viable place for storage of smaller items like shoes, socks and underwear. If your dorm room comes with shelving space, you can store casual clothing there.

Plants that can survive dorm life Five indoor beginner-friendly varieties
JUSTIN HO STAFF WRITER
Dorm rooms start off as plain, simple spaces that beg to be personalized. Although posters and additional furniture might help, a household plant is a good way to bring something natural indoors. Taking care of a plant and watching it grow may also serve as a distraction from the stress of college. Whether you have a green thumb, or just want to add personal flair to your room, here are five plants that can survive dorm life.
JADE PLANT Jade plants, though often large and only suited to the outdoors, can be kept as small houseplants as long as they are pruned. Taking care of a jade plant is easy. It should be watered when the top of its soil is dry to the touch. Regarding growth, jades need sunlight all day, and they should be fertilized once every six months.
ALOE VERA Aloe veras are known for their healing properties and can be kept in a dorm room with the proper care. A succulent, aloe vera is best kept in dry conditions. This plant will die if given too much water and should therefore be kept in a pot with drainage holes. A plant owner should make sure its soil is completely dry before watering the aloe vera. The soil needs to be drenched, and the water allowed to drain. Conveniently, this plant does not need to be fertilized.

CAST-IRON PLANT
02
KRYSTA STOVALL / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
Cast-iron plants, true to their name, can survive in harsh conditions and are quite forgiving. The plant does best in low light, with plenty of water – but it can survive without a regular watering schedule. Cast-irons can be fertilized once a year, and they have no issue with hot or cold weather.
SPIDER PLANT
04
The spider plant is also an excellent choice for beginners or those looking for an easy plant to care for. This variety can survive in a number of environments. A spider plant should be kept in a cool place and watered well, with access to bright, indirect sunlight. An exciting feature of this plant is that an adult will produce babies, or “spiderettes,” that can eventually become independent and grow on their own.
03
MARLENE MANTO / FLICKR
CHINESE MONEY PLANT Though this plant does not actually grow money for a struggling college student, it can still give back by providing a dorm room with some vibrancy. The Chinese money plant requires lots of indirect sunlight, and its soil should be kept lightly moist. Once the plant is healthy, it will start to produce seedlings that grow next to the parent plant. These babies can be potted and given to roommates, friends and family.

ROOMMATE ETIQUETTE 101
A simple guide to a peaceful roommate relationship RALPH ARISTA, STAFF WRITER
For many incoming freshmen moving into the dorms, this fall semester will be their first time living with someone with whom they share no relation. This list of dos and don’ts will act as a guide to navigating the difficulties you may face with your new roommate.
Cleaning
Bringing guests
A majority of fights between roommates revolve around the state of cleanliness in their room. To avoid this, you and your roommate should set a specific day in the month or week devoted to cleaning and organizing your shared living space. Setting a date to clean will mean that both sides of the room will be void of mess, leaving no reason for either of you to complain about the other’s space.
Whether you are inviting someone over to study or just hang out, you should inform your roommate ahead of time. Even if it is a spur-of-the-moment thing, before you start heading over to your room, text your roommate to ask if it is okay to bring someone over. While you may be okay with people casually coming into your room, your roommate may not feel the same. Remember, living with someone means that their opinions matter just as much as yours do. Do not casually invite someone to hang out or spend the night thinking that your roommate will automatically be okay with it.
Nighttime etiquette
Respecting space
If you are a person who is more active at night, take that into consideration when conducting nighttime activities in your dorm room. If your roommate goes to sleep earlier in the evening than you do, try to move to a space outside your room if you plan to do things like video chatting or listening to music. Otherwise, if you would rather stay in, be respectful and keep the noise level to a minimum. You could also come to an agreement with your roommate as to when these nighttime activities should be finished.
Remember, just because you share the room with someone else does not mean that you have a right to everything within the space. If your roommate brings home food or snacks, do not come to the conclusion that these are to be shared with you. The same goes with clothing and personal belongings. Even if you are on good terms with your roommate, do not assume that it is okay for you to go into his or her closet and borrow clothing or other items whenever you want. The thing to remember when it comes to sharing space is that respect and communication are key. Ask before you borrow, and respect your roommate’s decision even if they deny your request.

How to get on your RA’s good side
Your Resident Assistant (RA) is a student who helps keep dorm life fun and safe. Rule-enforcers can have a bad rep — especially in college — but if you have a good relationship with your RA you will find that both your life and your RA’s will be a lot easier and far more fun.
Your RA is not your enemy
NO ONE LIKES GETTING IN TROUBLE
Building a good relationship with your RA can be as simple as following the rules. Know that alcohol consumption is prohibited if you are under 21. Be sure to turn off your hot irons. Do not bring your moped or bicycle into your room. Keep your dorm clean. The list continues with basic courtesies and safety precautions. If you stick to the dorm regulations your RA will love you, and there is a good chance you will love your RA since they will not be constantly knocking at your door.
cookies will surely get them on your good side. But simply taking the time to say “hello” as you enter the building can go a long way. Jared Sikkema is a junior majoring in psychology and kinesiology at the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa and will be an RA in the freshman dorms in the fall. “Understand that RAs are students just like yourself. They won’t go out looking to get people in trouble,” Sikkema said. “We’re just here with the understanding that everyone is in pursuit of an education and should have fun while doing it!” Sharing a living space with so many people can be a big change from life at home. Sikkema assures that RAs just “want to make that transition as easy as possible” by creating “an environment that fosters positivity and a caring community.” Do not be scared to reach out to your RA. They are there to support you and help you have a fun college experience.

The ASUH office is on the second floor of Campus Center next to the ticket office. KEVIN HARRISON NEWS EDITOR
Founded by the Board of Regents in 1912, the Associated Students of the University of Hawai‘i (ASUH)’s
primary purpose is to bring the issues of undergraduates to the attention of university administration, faculty, government officials and community groups. “Aside from advocacy we also give
out scholarships, we also provide [Registered Independent Organization (RIO)] funding,” former ASUH president Roxie Kamoshida said, when she first took office as president in 2016. In the 2016 - 2017 school year,
ASUH gave out $69,900 in scholarships for academic achievement, financial aid and non-traditional students, such as student parents. They also gave out $12,000 in study abroad scholarships, $15,000 in research awards and $3,519.97 in graduate test preparation awards. “I think ASUH is important because we are the voice for the undergraduate students, there’s 13,000 undergraduates and as an organization it is our job to really be the voice for each student here on campus,” Kamoshida said. In terms of advocating for undergraduates and trying to effect change at UH Mānoa, aside from meeting with officials, ASUH will do one of two things: draft a bill or a resolution. A bill is an allocation of money toward programs, events and anything else they may want to support. A resowlution is a formal stance of ASUH on an issue and serves as the opinion of all UH Mānoa undergraduates. “It is understandable to think that resolutions are not effective, but in some small way it is because this is (ASUH’s) stance on the issue,” Kamoshida said. “Even though we write these resolu-
tions, we follow up with the people we send it to or following up with the person where (the) issue came from.” In the 2016 - 2017 school year, ASUH dispensed $146,759.41 in funds from senate acts. Acts include funding for student events, and for ASUH to purchase items like uniforms for themselves. In the Fall, ASUH will be holding a special election to fill vacant seats in the 105th Senate. Full details on the election and how many seats are available will be posted on the ASUH website. In order to run, a prospective candidate must fill out a candidate packet and obtain the signatures of 25 members of their college. However, one can get around this requirement by having an ASUH senator nominate them for candidacy, in which case the 25 signatures are unnecessary. According to the ASUH website, the option to be nominated by an ASUH member is “especially” for those who are members of smaller colleges, for whom acquiring 25 signatures may be a challenge.

Origins of the Rainbow Warrior JARIN MORIGUCHI | EXECUTIVE EDITOR

The Rainbow Warrior football team will play UMass Amherst in their first game of the 2017 season.
Whether you are a football enthusiast or just want to show your school spirit, this timeline will get you up to speed on the first few generations of the university’s football team. THE FIGHTING DEANS
The first game of the College of Hawai‘ i football team was played against McKinley High School in 1909, and was won by the then Fighting Deans. The team started its career playing against local high schools and club teams due to traveling restrictions. Otto Klum led the Hawai‘i football team starting in 1921, one year after the team’s first intercollegiate game. He also led the team on one of its most successful campaigns in the history of University of Hawai‘i football. In 1923, the football team was nicknamed the Rainbows because of the belief that whenever a rainbow appeared at UH, the team could not lose. Under Klum’s leadership, the Hawai‘i team enjoyed two consecutive undefeated seasons from 1924 to 1925.
UH ATHLETICS LOGOS HISTORIC UH FOOTBALL STARS
The football program at the University of Hawai‘ i has developed star talent over the past century. Local sports stars — from Thomas Kaulukukui, who helped the team to an undefeated campaign in 1934, to the United Press International honorable mention All-American, Harry “Clown” Kahuanui in the late 40s — helped to rally the people of Hawai‘ i behind the UH Rainbow Warriors.
THE 1960S AND 70S
Football returned to the university just one year later, and its first season was played with an all-collegiate schedule. In 1973, the Rainbows performed well and ranked No. 5 for a portion of the Division II season. The team was also re-nicknamed the Rainbow Warriors by former coach Larry Price in 1975. That same year, UH played its first game in the brand new Aloha Stadium.
WORLD WAR II AND THE ABOLISHMENT OF THE FOOTBALL PROGRAM
Klum ended his football coaching career in 1940, after a long period of success and development for the UH team. In 1941, the attack on Pearl Harbor and U.S. involvement in World War II halted the team’s activities. The UH football team returned to the field in 1946, and continued to play until the program was shut down due to a lack of funding in 1961.
THE RAINBOW (1982 - 2000)
The UH football team has a rich history, having experienced both times of success and failure. Today, the Rainbow Warriors continue to represent Hawai‘i in collegiate athletics. If you want to learn more about the history of the Rainbow Warriors and the Rainbow Wahine of the University of Hawai‘ i, be sure to visit the UH Mānoa Athletics website at hawaiiathletics.com.

Emergency Call Boxes are one option for students to reach DPS to get the help they need. VICTOR ONG CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Studying at the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa affords unique opportunities, but for some, part of the experience can be marred by their victimization in an on-campus crime. Here are some tips to make your Mānoa experience safer. DPS SERVICES
The university’s Department of Public Safety (DPS) is in charge of
campus security. DPS patrols the university’s grounds and officers can be dispatched anywhere on campus 24/7. Walking back to your dorm or bus stop at night can be dangerous. While it is advised to walk with at least one other person, stay in welllit areas or take the campus shuttle, DPS understands that doing so can sometimes be difficult. That is why it provides both walking and vehicle escort services to and from any point on campus from dusk to
dawn. Call them at 956-SAFE (7233) during this time, and an escort will be dispatched to your location. Escorts are students employees who wear yellow shirts. However, if you find yourself in danger while walking on campus, there are Emergency Call Boxes scattered around campus. They can be easily identified by their bright blue light and color. To use them, you need only pick up the receiver (on older boxes) or press a button (on newer boxes). Even if you are
unable to speak or identify your location, DPS will be able to identify where you are calling from. DPS also wants you to help them be their eyes and ears. If you have a tip for them, you can fill out a form on their website. If there is an issue requiring immediate attention, call them at 956-6911 and call 9-1-1. As with many things, there’s an app for UH Mānoa campus safety. It’s called “Rave Guardian” and is available on the App Store and Play Store. It features a way to text a tip and photo to DPS, as well as two one-click buttons to easily call them and 9-1-1. The app also provides a safety timer, which utilizes location services to determine if you have reached your destination within the amount of time you’ve allotted. If you do not, the app sends out an alert to designated individuals. Finally, DPS provides safety and wellness presentations to teach safe practices and encourage precautionary measures. They also hold active shooter awareness and response training to instruct the campus community on what to do to minimize risk and procedures to follow. Find more information at www.manoa.hawaii.edu/dps. LOCK UP YOUR BELONGINGS
DPS cannot stop every crime that occurs on campus. The Mānoa campus is known for frequent moped and bike thefts. For many of these incidents, however, the mopeds were
insufficiently secured or parked in unsafe areas. To reduce the risk, it is advised to park mopeds and bikes in designated areas such as bike racks. It is also important that the owner of the vehicle securely chains it to an immovable, secured object, even when leaving for a short amount of time. There have been past instances where mopeds are stolen within timeframes as short as 15 minutes. For bikes specifically, secure both wheels with a wire lock and use a U-lock to secure the frame to the bike rack. UH Mānoa provides many places around campus to park bikes and mopeds. A map of locations can be found on the UH Mānoa Commuter Services website. Students can also register for free, secure bike cage parking located in the Stan Sheriff Center parking lot. This cage is card-access only and is monitored by surveillance cameras. It is also important to lock your dorms, no matter how quickly you will be returning. The campus is mostly safe, though because anyone can come and go, there have been instances where students would return to their dorms, only to find evidence attempted forced entry. Stay aware of your surroundings and be prudent in your actions, taking the necessary precautions to make your college experience the safest it can be. Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

UHS is located at 1710 East-West Rd. KIRSTIE CAMPBELL CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Colds, sprained ankles and other ailments seem to flourish at school, and even college students are not immune to illness. If you are visited with a nasty bug or injury, be sure to go to University Health Services (UHS). Here are a few easy steps on how to get help when you need it. REGISTRATION
Incoming students receive a letter in their acceptance packet that includes a health clearance form. Submitting this form via fax or mail is what will allow you to register for classes and get future treatment at UHS.
INSURANCE
Walk-in clinic appointments at the university are affordable without insurance, but buying insurance and covering more of your medical care is less trouble in the long run. If you are still on a family insurance plan (like HMSA), bring an insurance card when you visit the UHS office. If you are uninsured, have no fear. HMSA offers the University Student plan, under which all University of Hawai‘i students can purchase individual insurance. Plans start with basic medical, but drug and dental options can be added for a few hundred dollars. The enrollment period for this upcoming semester ends on September
22. Go to hmsa.com/portal/?gid=student to learn more about your options. COMING IN
Fee-paying students of the UH system and UH Mānoa faculty are welcome at UHS. Please note that if you are coming from another campus, you will need to pay a little more for your first two visits. Students seeking relief for colds and other minor illnesses will want to take advantage of the clinic’s walk-in appointments, for which medicine and a doctor’s note for missing class are available. You should also come during office hours if more serious illnesses
such as food poisoning, cramps or allergies occur. Women’s services are also available here. UHS offers emergency contraception, Pap smears and pregnancy tests. Nutritionists, dermatologists and a sports medicine specialist are available for consultation. Psychiatrists also assist on Mondays and Tuesdays, though other counseling issues can be discussed at the Counseling and Student Development Center (QLC 312). These specialized services are by appointment only.
Other drugs can be prescribed by a doctor and obtained either here or at Longs for a fee, as the UHS pharmacy does not accept drug insurance. You can also get general vaccinations, from tuberculosis to travel vaccinations. UHS is an excellent place with plenty of resources. Hospitals are further away when illness strikes, so take a walk to UHS and check out the clinic if you find yourself in need. Missing class without a doctor’s note when you are legitimately sick and suffering will otherwise just add insult to injury.
TREATMENT
Over-the-counter medicine is available at UHS for a small fee.

CATCH A FREE RIDE THEBUS SYSTEM EXPLAINED NICOLE TAM | SENIOR STAFF WRITER
ANA BITTER | CHIEF COPY EDITOR AMY LOWE / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
If route maps in the app are difficult to understand, route and timetable maps can be found on TheBus’ website.
University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa students have an advantage with the U-pass, a semester-long renewable bus pass for fall and spring semesters, available at Campus Center. This pass allows free use of TheBus, the city’s convenient and economic option for traveling off campus. This form of public transport offers an app: DaBus, available for Apple and Android. While this app still works, a newer app, DaBus2, is also available. The app lets you find nearby bus stops, track bus locations, routes and bus arrival times. Stops can be found using the location tracker, or by manually entering a bus stop number found on signs at a stop. Once a stop is found, click on it to see either estimated realtime arrivals or daily scheduled arrivals for available routes at that stop. Keep in mind that the app continues to track the progress of the bus, so keep an eye on the estimated time as it might change. Also be wary of buses on the arrival list marked as having “no GPS” – they are often less reliable and, occasionally, disappear from the list without arriving. Remember to save your frequently used bus stops to “favorites” so you can track that stop with one click. Understanding the system map makes the route system less confusing. Common routes around UH Mānoa are the A, 1/1L, 4 and 6, which travel near Ala Moana, Ward and downtown/Chinatown, and the 13, which can take you to Waikīkī. You can conveniently transfer to other routes to different parts of the island at Beretania/Punchbowl (near the State Capitol).

The UH Mānoa route starts from Kalihi Transit Center/Waipahu and ends at UH Mānoa. The Waipahu route travels in the opposite direction, starting at UH Mānoa and taking you past Ala Moana and through downtown.

By Katie Almeida
campus HELP Whether you are a freshman or a returning student, attending the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa means you will be one among roughly 19,000 navigating your way around the 320 acres of campus. Add that to all of the paperwork, registration and moving onto campus and you are bound to run into a question or two. Finding the people with the right answers can be equally as confusing as your original problem, and being handed between offices can seem like more trouble than your question is worth. As a result, a lot of students and faculty keep their questions to themselves. If you are unable to find one person with one answer, or Google it, you just decide to wing it. That is an option we too often take, and it can lead to trouble. Now, there is one number, one office, one site to go to that is certain to lead you to the answers you need. campusHELP was created in February 2017 as a place where students, faculty and community members can go to receive answers to all of their questions, or at least get pointed in the right direction. It serves as a resource to provide answers, or as an intermediary to make sure that you are referred to the person with the right answer the first time, instead of being bounced around.
Located in Keller Hall 111, campusHELP is easily accessible if you find yourself on campus with a question. If that is not the most convenient option for you, they are a phone call or email away at 808-956-5000 and uhmcrsc@hawaii.edu.
The one stop shop for any of your campus questions
The campusHELP team are able to provide help for new and returning students with questions like: When is move in day for Johnson Hall? Why can’t I register for this math class? How can I access the 1098T? Where can I find my unofficial transcript? They help parents sending their children away from home for the first time, or community members looking for information on a wide range of topics including questions such as: Which academic advisor should my daughter see? What day does commencement take place? Can you help me identify a species of weed in my yard? When are youth athletic camps taking place this year? Faculty and professors can utilize this resource as well. While they may be experts in their field of study or have worked for the university for years, even professors and faculty have questions regarding campus happenings. Operations Coordinator for Pacific Biosciences Research Center Shari Goudreault has turned to campusHELP before. “I’ve used their service a couple times for departmental questions and found them to be very responsive and helpful,” Goudreault said. “They not only provided extensive information specific to the question, but also offered alternate options available to us. I think students, staff and faculty would find their services useful in locating information that is difficult/hard to come by. I’ve used their services for locating information that is unusual or not easily found through my own searches, and it saves me time.” They have a “frequently asked” page on their website that you can look to first. You may be surprised how many other people have had the same questions. You can find what they call their “knowledge base” at campushelp. manoa.hawaii.edu.
The office is open from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. – open earlier and later than most other offices on campus. If your question appears out of this time frame, email at any time – they will get back to you as soon as possible. In order to save yourself time and effort and make sure you are going to the right people for the right answers, turn to campusHELP.

GET A JOB! From job search to payroll, SECE is the ultimate career tool for UH students
ANGELINA SPENCE | OPINIONS EDITOR Whether you had a job in high school or are looking for your first job, Student Employment and Cooperative Education (SECE) is a University of Hawai‘i resource that can help you find on-campus and off-campus jobs.
LOOKING FOR YOUR NEW JOB
STARTING FOR YOUR NEW JOB
THE SEARCH
FORMS
SECE provides a search tool that permits students to filter jobs based on options like campus and job programs. If you have a particular position or organization in mind, you can search by keywords. For example, if you are looking for an office job, you can input job titles such as “administrative assistant” or “receptionist.” Once you have inputted all of your specifications, SECE will present you with a list of jobs that you are eligible for. Students can click on different jobs to learn more about the positions and the duties they would be asked to perform. Job descriptions will also include information like work schedule and starting date. When you find a job you like, make sure to add it to your job cart so that you can find it later.
Once you are hired, you will begin the process of filling out various paperwork required before you can start your new job. As with all jobs, you will have to complete federal and state tax forms. These forms will determine the amount of taxes withheld from your paychecks. Follow the instructions carefully on the personal allowances worksheet to ensure you report the correct number of allowances. If you are unsure of how to complete these forms, you may want to consult your parents for more information. Another important form you must complete is the federal I-9 form. First, students complete section one online with basic background information. Then, students will be asked to provide specific documents that establish identity and employment authorization. A list of acceptable documents can be found at https://www.uscis.gov/i-9-central/acceptable-documents.
APPLYING After you have found a few jobs that would suit you and your schedule, you can begin the process of applying. In your job cart you will have the option to “apply now” to jobs that you have saved, or be given instructions on “how to apply.” Positions with the “apply now” option allow you to apply online by uploading documents like a résumé and cover letter. Other positions will have a “how to apply” option. These positions may require you to apply in-person, or e-mail the primary contact person listed on SECE. It is crucial to look at the “additional information” section of listings, as it may contain special instructions for applying – otherwise you might skip an important step. Shortly after you apply, you should hear back from the employer about whether they are interested in scheduling an interview with you.
TIMESHEETS In addition to filling out forms, you will have to log your hours on SECE after you have begun working. On SECE’s homepage students can access the timesheets feature where they can create new timesheets or view old ones. Timesheets are due on the 15th and last day of every month – failure to submit your timesheet on-time may result in your paycheck being delayed. However, if you complete and submit your timesheets properly you can expect to receive your paycheck three weeks after submitting your first timesheet. Paychecks are distributed on the 5th and 20th of every month.

Use STAR to graduate on time ANGELINA SPENCE I OPINIONS EDITOR
STAR is a tool provided by the University of Hawai‘i system to help students graduate in four years by keeping track of major and graduation requirements. This upcoming semester, UH will be transitioning all UH system students to STAR’s GPS Registration system in hopes of making registration easier.
College America’s goal is to help more Americans receive college degrees and career certificates. STAR was recognized for its ability to help students achieve their higher education goals. Now, as a UH Mānoa student, you have the opportunity to utilize STAR and maximize your college experience.
In November 2016, Complete College America awarded UH a President’s Award for STAR. Complete
ACADEMIC ESSENTIALS In STAR’s academic essentials tab, students can take a look at their general education, graduation and major requirements all on one page. STAR tracks which requirements are complete, in progress or have yet to be fulfilled. Grades for courses that have been completed will also be displayed in this portion of STAR. Using the graduation pathway and your recorded progress, STAR generates an academic pathway
that projects your date of graduation. Students can view the academic pathway to see if they are on course to graduate on time, and if not, they can use STAR to rearrange their plans. With STAR, students are always aware of which classes they have to take and which classes they do not have to worry about – helping to avoid surprise unfulfilled requirements senior year.
GRADUATION PATHWAY Students have the opportunity to see the entirety of their college education mapped out by semester on STAR’s graduation pathway. Included in the pathway are all of the courses students need to graduate – from their general education to their major requirements. The interactive pathway allows students to plan out the courses they wish to take each semester all the way up until graduation. Students can drag and drop courses from various semesters and choose when they would like to complete different requirements.
STAR also enables students to browse which classes can fulfill their various requirements. Instead of the tedious process of looking through UH Mānoa’s class availability list and finding courses that satisfy each requirement, STAR pulls up all of the courses for you. When students find a course they are interested in taking, they can favorite it and STAR will remember their choice come registration time.
GPS REGISTRATION STAR’s GPS registration program is the newest addition to the STAR platform and is a more convenient way for students to register for classes. Once students have planned out their semester using the graduation pathway, they can begin registering for courses. Students can view information, such as time, location and professor, for classes they previously marked as favorites in the graduation pathway. If classes are full, STAR lets students waitlist classes and emails them when a spot opens up.
The scheduling aspect of registration is made easier by a few of STAR’s innovations. STAR maps out students’ Monday through Friday classes by time, allowing students to get a sense of their upcoming semester through a color-coded schedule. STAR also prevents students from registering for certain classes when there is a time conflict. If there are any holds on a student’s account, STAR will prevent them from registering and notify them of who to contact to remove the hold.
WHAT IF JOURNEY Students who are consider- they can graduate on time if they ing switching their major can take choose to change their desired field advantage of the What If Journey. of study. Students can also view The What If Journey option shows important major requirements they students what their academic should tackle if they choose to conessentials and graduation pathway tinue with that new What If Journey. would look like if they chose a different major.

FIVE THINGS TO DO IN HONOLULU
K A LEO O HAWAI ‘I THE VOICE OF HAWAI‘I
DAVID BUBBINS | STAFF WRITER
There are many places in Honolulu that provide experiences that would be difficult to duplicate on the mainland. Below, I have compiled a list of my five favorite things to do in Honolulu that I continue to do today.
Attractions and activities to fill your spare time TAKE SURFING LESSONS Surfing is an ancient Hawaiian sport dating back to the fourth century A.D. Polynesians first developed what are known as Paipo (belly) boards. When they reached Hawai‘i, they began standing and surfing upright. Since you are in the place where surfing was invented, why shouldn’t you learn how to surf? Waikiki Beach Services offers daily one-on-one and group surfing lessons. Just be prepared to fall flat on your face when you first start.
MARY JANE S. / YELP
HIKE DIAMOND HEAD Diamond Head is a volcanic crater that is also a popular tourist attraction. People go here to enjoy the view from the peak, as the ascent to the top reveals the inside of the large crater, which houses a former military base. The 3,700 foot hike takes approximately an hour, assuming that one takes pictures along the way. Even though it is not the easiest hike, you do not have to pay to hike it and is definitely worth the time and energy once you reach the peak. MAHAL D. / YELP
SHOP AT ALA MOANA CENTER If you want to go to a place that has everything you will ever need, then Ala Moana Center is the place. Ala Moana is the largest open air mall in the world and the seventh largest shopping mall in America. The mall has over 90 restaurant options and 300 stores that range from entertainment proprietors to clothing retailers. Even if you are not a fan of shopping or eating, Ala Moana Center provides more than just restaurants and stores. The center hosts multiple live events every day, including a daily hula show from 1-1:20 p.m. For more information on its live events, check out the mall’s website at alamoanacenter.com. RAY L. / YELP
NIJIYA MARKET If you are a foodie like myself and want to experience the cuisine of a different country, I would recommend going to Nijiya Market. What is special about this little market is that it purposefully imports Japanese goods that you cannot get anywhere else. There you can find items like wasabi flavored Oreos, BBQ cheetos and eggs benedict pringles. If you are not into junk food, Nijiya Market also has items ranging from sake to fresh fish. Even better, the market is only a 15 to 20 minute walk away from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa dorms. I usually go there about twice a week, either to see the new and interesting items, or to do some regular shopping. DYLAN DEANGELO / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
SEE AN IMAX MOVIE Honolulu’s Regal Dole Cannery Stadium 18 is home to Hawai‘ i’s only IMAX theater. IMAX differs from conventional movie theaters in two ways: theater screen and sound capabilities. An average IMAX screen is approximately five stories high and 72 feet wide. This allows for a clearer resolution that cannot be achieved in your average theater. A normal theater’s system has 5.1 surround sound, which includes a speaker in each corner and a separate center speaker near the projector for dialogue. IMAX takes this one step further by putting a sixth speaker in the ceiling to make the audience feels as close to the movie as possible. Even though ticket prices are close to $17 per person, the experience is definitely worth the cost of admission. RHEA A. / YELP

BEST l o c a l g r i n d s IN HAWAI‘I MUST TRY DISHES FROM THE ISLANDS CHANEL DIAS | STAFF WRITER
When students from another state or country make the decision to start or continue their university careers in the Hawaiian Islands, they open themselves up to all kinds of cultural exposure, including food. The state of Hawai‘ i offers a variety of delicacies that are often unfamiliar to visitors. With hundreds of college students settling into this new environment, the opportunity to taste Hawai‘i’s local dishes will be worth the try. Here is a short list of some of the best local dishes and restaurants for non-Hawai‘ i students to sample and savor.
NADINE C. / YELP
HELENA’S HAWAIIAN FOOD With over 70 years of service, Helena’s has delighted locals and visitors alike with their signature dishes made fresh. The menu includes lau lau (taro/luau leaf-wrapped pork), lomi salmon (tomato-onion salmon salad), squid lu‘au (spinach-squid soup), and kālua pig (cooked in an underground oven) and cabbage. “The purest of Hawaiian food I’ve ever tried in the island of Oahu,” said one reviewer, Jon B., on Yelp. “There might not be any better, more affordable, and delicious lunch in all of Oahu than here at Helena’s,” wrote another reviewer, Mike B. In 2000, Helena’s was awarded the James Beard Foundation’s Regional Classic award for America’s west region. Helena’s is currently located on 1240 N. School Street in Honolulu.
LAUREN TABOR/ KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
POKE This authentic ahi dish is considered a classic by many of Hawai‘i’s residents, and makes for a great appetizer due to its wide variety of mixed ingredients, including kukui nut, limu kohu, sesame oil and green onions. It is also best eaten over a bowl of a white rice. Other flavors include “Hawaiian,” spicy and shoyu. Poke of all kinds can be purchased at Times, Pokestop, Foodland or any local seafood department or restaurant.

LILIKOI PIE
LOCO MOCO
Although lilikoi is a fruit endemic to South America, it has been a tasty staple for over 130 years in Hawai‘i, and has been a primary ingredient for several dishes and desserts, including pie. For foreign or out-of-state college students, this is one sweet treat that they will not want to miss. For a delicious lilikoi pie, check out Ted’s Bakery, Liliha Bakery or the Hawaiian Pie Company.
A meal comprised of rice topped with hamburger patties, eggs and brown gravy, the Loco Moco is a classic Hawaiian dish that will not fail to satisfy. “Whatever its origins, the loco moco has come to epitomize Hawaiian plate-lunch cuisine, satisfying a surfer’s raging appetite and curing the occasional hangover,” The Huffington Post wrote. “It’s been called a gastronomical monstrosity and a cultural emblem — comfort food on a paper plate.” For great Loco Moco dishes on O‘ahu, visit L&L Hawaiian Barbecue, Bob’s Barbecue or Loco Moco Drive Inn.

This thrift boutique offers a large selection of gently used clothing and accessories for below retail prices. Shoppers also have the opportunity to earn a little cash. Before going in, clean out your closet and fill a bag with pieces you do not mind parting with. Check the bag in when you arrive, and while you browse, the store employees will evaluate the items and make you an offer.
Keep in mind, they are a bit selective to ensure quality merchandise. “We are looking for teen casual items, things that we are seeing on high school campuses and college campuses, brands such as Billabong, Rip Curl, Forever 21 and H&M,” Assistant Manager Travis Namba said. According to Namba, the best time to buy and sell is right before the school year starts.
For bargains on your dorm and college life needs, stop at Goodwill on S. Beretania St. This location houses everything from aloha shirts and skinny jeans to irons and lamps. According to Sales Associate Jan Kasparovitch, if you are looking for furniture, come early because the “awesome deals” are picked over quickly. There are 50 percent off sales each week, depending on a rotating system of colored tags,
and students receive 20 percent off everything on Sundays. Seniors get percent off on Tuesdays and members of the military get 20 percent off on Wednesdays. To top it all off, the money you spend at Goodwill goes toward providing disabled people with the training necessary to enter the workforce. Optimal treasure hunting months are December, June, July and August when donations are plentiful.
Skip the mall and head to Savers for a fresh back-to-school wardrobe. Within this department store-esque thrift shop, you will find an extensive selection of clothing. The far left of the store is where the sea of clothing ends and the sea of kitchenware
begins. Books are located in the front left corner and shoes are located in the back right corner. With so many options, it is easy to break the budget at Savers. But on Mondays, everyone gets 25 percent off.

Balancing Burdens Dealing with stress and anxiety INTERN KAILANIANNA ABLOG KA LEO SUMMER INTERN
With stress and anxiety among college students’ most common problems, understanding the cause of these issues and utilizing resources to deal with them are vital steps toward having a positive college experience.
KAILANIANNA ABLOG / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I
Low levels of anxiety and stress may actually be beneficial, as long as they are not overwhelming.
How to handle it
Anxiety and stress in college Stress and anxiety, while overwhelming for some, are a normal part of college life. David Linares, owner of Serenity Counseling Services Hawaii and a licensed mental health counselor, said in a phone interview, “College is a transition from a home environment for a lot of people. There is a whole lot of pressure. You’ve got family stressors, work stressors, class and social stressors … There is (an internal pressure to) not only … do well but to also to do well enough to ensure success.” While college is seen as a period of self-development and excitement, balancing school work, employment and social interaction can cause students to be concerned about achieving their goals and satisfying personal, or familial, expectation. When students become overwhelmed by these worries, it can lead to anxiety. The American Psychiatric Association (APA) defines anxiety as “an emotion characterized by feel-
ings of tension, worried thoughts and physical changes,” which cause a person to “have recurring intrusive thoughts or concerns.” The APA reports that 41.6 percent of college students claim anxiety to be a prevailing issue. At high levels, anxiety can “ impair a person’s ability to function at work, school and in social situations.” Linares said, “[Stress] can get you motivated, to succeed. There are all kinds of good, healthy stress. Exercise is stressing your body in a good way. It gets problematic when you start feeling overwhelmed.” Leeona Domingo, an incoming freshman at the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa, commented on her personal experience. “Anxiety and stress are an accumulation of pressed-on emotion. It’s not just one thing; it’s a lot of things. I’ve cried a bit because of stress, and it takes a toll on my (academic) performance.”
Many factors in college, such as research projects and relationships, can cause one to feel stressed or anxious. But, thankfully, there are many ways to help manage these problems. Here are a few methods. BE PREPARED
Having everything one needs for a class or presentation, and knowing details ahead of time, can alleviate feelings of anxiety. “Preparedness is key,” Linares said. “Get your materials together. Know where your classes are in advance. Make sure you get your parking registration in advance. Get to class early, and budget out your day.” TALK IT OUT
Sometimes all a person needs to do is get those worries off his or her chest, and you can do that by sharing a few words with someone. Domingo says, “Take time to meet with counselors and teachers or seek out study groups.
Don’t deal with your issues alone.” Linares adds, “The best stress reliever is talking to people. There are few healthier places than counseling offices. They give you the opportunity to come into a safe environment and not be judged. People can get an opportunity to reflect and gain some insight into the nature of their problem.” INCORPORATE FUN
Budgeting money and time can help manage stress, but do not forget to make time to have fun. “People also need to budget in their fun time, too” Linares said. “That is equally important.”
Additional resources Students seeking help with anxiety or stress can contact the counselors at the Counseling and Student Development Center (CSDC), located in Room 312 of the Queen Lili‘uokalani Center for Student Services (QLC), in person or by phone at (808) 956–7927. The University Health Services’ Health Promotion Program, located in Room 313-D of QLC, also offers many informational brochures about how to deal with stress and anxiety, as well as other mental health and relationship issues.

“START FAST AND START NOW” WHY YOU SHOULD BE STARTING YOUR BUSINESS WHILE AT UH MĀNOA
COURTESY: EVAN YOUNG
Young’s company, Radial3d, aims to enable clinicians to view medical images in a mixed reality environment with patients. JARIN MORIGUCHI EXECUTIVE EDITOR
Being your own boss may seem like an attractive prospect for students thinking about their futures, but it is also common for students to think it is unfeasible to launch a business on top of studies, work, social endevours and other obligations. Former student entrepreneurs who are still growing their companies, as well as people who work as resources for students through on-campus organizations such as the Pacific Asian Center for Entrepreneurship (PACE), can attest to the success of starting a business while attending the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. ENTREPRENEURIAL THINKING
In addition to the opportunity to be creative through your chosen profession, campus-connected business owners say that thinking like an entrepreneur can help you in multiple other aspects of your life. “The outside world seems to be very set in their ways. Everything seems to have a mold that we are supposed to fit into. Luckily, growing a business taught me that there isn’t such thing as a mold,” Lauren Michaels, Founder, Co-Owner and Lead Wedding Coordinator of Aloha Bridal Connections, and University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa graduate, said in an email interview. Through exploring entrepreneurship, students learn to use thinking strategies involved with starting a business, and can apply those
same lessons and thought processes to other areas of their lives. Susan Yamada, the executive director of PACE, believes that every student at UH Mānoa should “take at least one entrepreneurial thinking class.” As justification, Yamada cited the rapid change in the way technology is impacting the future of all types of employment, and how
WHY NOW?
“You will never have more resources at your disposal than when you’re a student,” Yamada said. “Many student businesses don’t succeed, but the experience gained is invaluable. Investors would rather work with an entrepreneur who failed and learned from their experiences, than one who has never started a business before.”
. . . Growing a business taught me that there isn’t such thing as a mold. – LAUREN MICHAELS, ALOHA BRIDAL CONNECTIONS FOUNDER, CO-OWNER AND LEAD WEDDING COORDINATOR
thinking like an entrepreneur will give you an edge after graduation. “If we don’t address these changes and prepare for change, we risk being left behind. Prior to graduating, students need to become adept at thinking creatively,” Yamada said in an email interview. However, entrepreneurial thinking can benefit you before you have earned that diploma. Attributes of entrepreneurship can begin to give you an advantage while studying at UH Mānoa, according to Evan Young, student tech entrepreneur and UH Mānoa student. “The difficult part [of entrepreneurship] is finding that one thing you can do better than everyone else and focusing all your time on being the best in that one thing. These attributes have influenced my studies and the majority of my life. I tend to focus my time on the classes that I believe I will benefit the most from,” Young said.
Both Young and Michaels can attest to the wealth of resources available in college that help students to test ideas and capitalize on opportunities. They also prove that Yamada’s advice can hold true for students willing to execute their big ideas. “I started doing PACE programs during my freshmen year at UH Manoa. PACE encouraged me that I was not too young or too inexperienced to do advanced programs like the business plan competition. The Executive Director Susan Yamada pushed me to just start something and not be afraid to fail,” Young said. Michaels also credits Yamada and the PACE program with providing her access to resources and networking. “Susan Yamada was the first to tell me that I should get started on building the company while I still had access to all these resources as a student. I took her advice and ran with it. I used the micro-loan program, free resources, professionals-in-res-
idence, countless workshops and I soaked every piece of advice they could give me,” Michaels said.
forward while you abandon the ‘norm.’ Screw the status quo. Start your business now.
HOW TO START, WHERE TO GO AND WHAT TO DO
Finding that big idea for a business does not have to involve a solo search for an essential product or service. “Get addicted to something or get pissed off at something,” Monica Umeda, University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Master of Science in Electrical Engineering graduate and former PACE entrepreneur, said in an email interview. “You have a general idea of what market or area you’d like to go into, find others who share your beliefs.” Young urges students to jump into their ideas and capitalize on their time in college. “Entrepreneurship is about doing, creating and learning. Ideas often change a lot from the original idea and that is a good thing. The sooner you start the faster you can start learning and making changes to improve the idea,” Young said. There are many opportunities that will be presented to you while in college. Be sure to embrace your ambition and capitalize on what is available to you as a student. Resources like PACE and XLR8UH, a startup investment program for students and faculty, are all around you. Take it from these success stories. As Michaels said, be the one to “break the rules that society has set for you.” An uncompromising drive to succeed and the chances that Mānoa offers can launch you
