Independent bookstore serves faculty and students JANE CALLAHAN Associate News Editor Revolution Books, an independent bookstore in Puck’s Alley, is one of the outlets that some University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa professors order books from for their classes. The store’s operation works solely on a cooperative system, refl ective of the communist ideologies to which they promote. “Everyone who works here volunteers. Whoever has more time, gives more time. I’m here more often because right now I have more time,” said Carolyne Hadfield, a member of the collective and a volunteer to the store. In a capitalist system, the store has not gone with out scrutiny by the students since its opening in the community in 1976, when they fi rst began selling books, t-shirts, posters, as well as hosting group discussions. “We’re a political bookstore,” said Hadfield, who noted that, as a result, several students have gone to UH administration because professors had class texts ordered through the store. The claims usually center on disdain for being “made to support communism” through students’ purchases. “If that’s the case, I’d like to see a student sue a professor for ordering their books through Borders or the UH bookstore, for supporting capitalism!” joked Mary Baker, research assistant of indigenous studies in the political science department. Hadfield expressed her awareness of some of the students’ reservations for various reasons. “I had one customer who was in the military and had a high clearance, and he was afraid of what would happen to his clearance if he came into the store,” said Hadfield. Nicole Kim, a sophomore
afraid to come in to a certain bookstore, what does that say about the community we live in?” While the store carries works by Bob Avakian, the Chairman of the Revolutionary Communist Party, as well as a weekly newspaper titled Revolution News, they also have many books on education, sociology, drama, music, language and history. In reaction to their practices, the store has experienced breakins and vandalism. Hadfield recollected that after they started carrying books on reproductive rights, someone glued the store’s locks shut, threw rocks through the windows, and left a “disturbing” sign with a death threat. Responding to the incident, Hadfield said, “You have to handle it the way you would in a better society. If people don’t agree with you, that’s fi ne! Let’s have that conversation. That’s what education is all about: going to the outside edges. If we don’t, then we will never solve problems.” There are counter-arguments as to the store’s place in a capitalist country. A UHM student who wished to remain anonymous said “The irony is that if we lived in a communist regime, their store wouldn’t be allowed to exist … a store that challenges the government and status quo.” In fact, Revolution Books NIK SEU / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I does not currently make a profit. Carolyne Hadfield, a volunteer at Revolution Books, maintains that open discussion While a large percentage of purchases are UH-based, running about topics is essential to learning. the business is still difficult. “I had a mother come in to “Every month we lose money. art major, said the store “is very nice and helpful to the students.” buy books for her son, because The staff puts in their own money She also expressed hesitation to she didn’t want him exposed to to cover the gaps … otherwise go into the store because of its the store.

She added, “If people are November or December.” by what they fi nd in the store.
Hadfield reiterated that it is not a profitable business. “We’re not here to make money … [the store] is here to reflect the kind of society we [the staff] want to live in.” Candace Fujikane, an associate professor of English, orders her texts through the store. “ The store is economically helpful to the students, since the store buys back books from students in my classes.” Joshua Fujino, a senior majoring in economics stated, “Students like the store because it’s cheaper than UH books.” Hadfield said that the store has developed a rapport with faculty members. “We work fairly closely with the professors in the UH community,” said Hadfield. “We work to meet the needs of individual classes and teachers. The ‘personal thing’ is part of us.” Fujikane recognized that the communist association with the bookstore has raised issues in the past. She states that she is open with students about the type of store Revolution Books is, and that if any students are uncomfortable then they are free to purchase the texts from Amazon.com or other bookstores, such as Borders. “I had a student whose family members were refugees from the Vietnamese communist era, and he had a problem buying books from that store,” she said. Fujikane admired that the store offers educational opportunities outside of books. “I like that they put together public discussions for issues that are important, different, and relevant,” said Fujikane. The Revolution Books’ staff recently ordered new texts on the See Revolutionary Books, page 3

eRefund records deleted COMPILED BY DAVIN AOYAGI Managing Editor
In August it was discovered that the online banking account information of up to 400 students was deleted through an automatic purging system implemented by the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Cashier’s office. “The University’s student account online payment system is set to delete banking account information for students who have not logged in to the system at least once in the past 365 days,” said Derek Siu, director of the UH Cashier’s Office. “This sys-
tem setting serves to protect students’ account information by deleting potentially outdated banking information.” The information deleted includes, “bank account information, eRefund account information, and Authorized Users information.” According to the Cashier’s Office, “This change did not affect all students. Out of over 64,000 students enrolled in our online payment system, only 400 students have not logged onto our payment website in the past 365 days.” When asked about the inconvenience that this one year
time limit may cause for some students, Siu replied that, “It has been brought to our attention that some students have considered this to be an inconvenience. Therefore, we are considering increasing the time frame in which the information will be kept, as well as other measures to minimize disruption to services.”

subject of global warming, a topic that is under increasing examination in the media. They worked directly with UH faculty, as well as scientists, to get input as to which books are useful and relevant to the topic. Mary Baker, a research assistant in indigenous politics at the political science department, praised professors who order their books through Revolution Books. “There are a lot of books (at Revolution) that you can’t fi nd in other bookstores,” said Baker. “This is a business that needs our support. There, you are a person, not just a customer.” On Saturday, Sept. 11, the store will host talks by Jon Osorio, co-author of “The Value of Hawai‘i.” The talk will feature two other speakers who will discuss issues relevant to the Hawaiian community, such as the military and the environment. The following Saturday, Sept. 18, the store will host a “Gigantic Used Book Fundraiser” in the hopes to raise enough money for renovation. The event
runs from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. The store’s website pleas, “If you have used books, drop them off at the store as soon as possible. We accept every type of book and we don’t censor. However, if you bring in the ‘Left Behind’ series or Gingrich’s rants, we may include a warning.” As for the future of Revolution Books, the store will continue to fund its existence as long as it can. “We want a world where profit is not above people,” said Hadfield, “I would like for students to be challenged, and question what they’ve been taught. Think critically … . We are going to fi ght for it to the last, that’s for sure.”
The store is open 7 days a week, from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m., and is located at 2626 South King Street. Visit www.revolutionbookshonolulu.org for more information or call (808) 944-3106.

According to housing officials, Frear Hall dormitory houses over 800 residents. The documented numbers in print are records and scribbles that fail to take into account the potential for the supernatural. You may be walking around the halls or ly-
ing down in your bed, and feel the presence of chills on your back or eyes watching you from the darkness. You may realize then that there are dead people amongst you, Frear Hall residents! There is no “scientific” proof of the existence of the ghosts in Frear Hall, much less the existence of ghosts in the world. There are, however, a good

Therefore, one may speculate that there is some sort of truth to this paranormal activity. Last year, one Frear resident (who has asked to remain anonymous) told me of the most hair-raising activity in her room on the second fl oor. She claimed that her drawers had fl ung open all on their own and said she could often sense another “being” in her room. Current resident Mikie Kameoka (who dreads to even recount the experience) is yet another resident to have experienced the more extreme paranormal activity. In her case, she experienced a supernatural force suddenly pressing down on her. “It was like I was being choked. I couldn’t breathe,” she explains. This is actually quite a common phenomenon. Many people have recorded undergoing such an experience with a ghost. The spirit is commonly known as the “choking ghost.” Some joke how Frear Hall was built on a burial ground and how the “old” Frear Hall is haunted. The truth, however, is far from humorous- As
documented by the State Historic Preservation Division of the DLNR, “in 1996, 14 burials were encountered near the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa during street and waterline improvements. Due to the high risk of disturbance from future waterline breaks and other emergency utility work, the burials were relocated to the adjacent Center for Hawaiian Studies building which was being constructed at the time.” Could those fourteen be the little dorm haunters? Or are there hundreds of more cadavers plotted beneath the building right now, with hundreds of more ghosts fl oating around resident rooms? Whatever is actually going on, residents may want to make sure they’re not alone in Frear.

Ono 101: Take a pit stop this peach season Peak peach season is from July to August, but peaches are available until late September. When choosing a peach, look for specimens with a strong peach aroma and no bruised spots. Peaches are native to China, with recorded evidence of peach cultivation dating back almost 3000 years.
P E AC H A N D R A D I S H S L AW C HRIS M IKESELL Opinions Editor The advent of September means that the peak of peach season is drawing to a close, with some stores and farmers’ markets seeing the results of a bumper crop of America’s third favorite fruit. This is great news for fruit fans as they fi nd that the peaches in their local markets could be priced to move quickly. The USDA’s National Agriculture Statistics Service estimated that this year’s peach crop could approach or surpass the record-setting 2.25 billion pounds of fruit the United States produced in 2007. At least a few of those billions of pounds of peaches should make their way into your kitchen - that is, if you don’t eat them fi rst. On top of being delicious for out-of-hand eating, peaches also are versatile in the kitchen, adding depth and sweetness to both desserts and savory applications. They play with strong fl avors nicely but can stand up to peppery and spicy dishes as well, especially while they are still fi rm and succulent. Unlike their plum cousins, which disintegrate into masses of rich pectin when stewed, peaches also tend to keep their shape when cooked, making them great for pies, as any southern pie fan can tell you. Besides, pound for pound, peaches have about 20 percent fewer calories than apples, more

If an apple a day keeps the doctor away, then a peach is a full-on restraining order.
S T O N E F RU I T COM P O T E 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder 1 medium peach, cut into eighths and chopped 2 plums, quartered and chopped 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 cup water 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar 1/3 cup sugar Heat oil over medium heat until simmering, then add five-spice powder and stir for a few seconds until fragrant. Add chopped fruit and salt and sauté until fruit begins to caramelize, then add water, vinegar and sugar. Raise heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer, then cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes or until plum pieces fall apart, stirring occasionally. Remove cover and reduce until thickened. Serve warm or chilled, perhaps over ice cream. Makes 2 1/2 cups. Of course, like most fresh fruits, peaches are better for you raw, but if you have to cook them, there’s a recipe this week for you too.

Historical Misconceptions 2: World War II
Dear UH Student: Shortly after statehood 51 years ago, I traveled 5,000 miles to become a teaching assistant at the University of Hawai‘i at Maˉnoa. Later, I received my Master’s degree in Sociology and a PhD in American Studies from UH. My experience at UH led me to a new home and a new life of service. Hawai‘i has given everything to me, including my family, friends and experiences. I have been blessed to call Hawai‘i my home and honored to have served the people of Hawai‘i as a teacher and public servant. I sincerely hope that your training and experience at the UH is equally enriching. My love for Hawai‘i is precisely the reason I am running for Governor. I believe together we can build on the great things happening at UH to give future generations the same opportunity we had to have a quality college education right here at home. Please vote early by mail or on Primary Election Day, Saturday, September 18. Mahalo for your consideration. IMUA HAWAI‘I !

General Dwight D. Eisenhower addresses the 101st Division of the U.S. Army before the Normandy Invasion on D-Day, June 5, 1944. DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY NATIONAL ARCHIVES MCT
DAVIN AOYAGI Managing Editor Perhaps some of America’s largest historical misconceptions center around one of the biggest con icts in history: World War II. Some have learned about World War II by playing Call of Duty or watching Saving Private Ryan, not through academic sources.
M I S C O N C E P T I O N 1: T H E ALLIES NEEDED TO LAND IN F R A N C E O N D - DAY This clariďŹ cation is in no way an attempt to diminish the actions by the Americans, British, Canadians, and other allies involved in D-Day. Their efforts were heroic and admirable. However, although Stalin requested that the Allies establish a second front in Europe to aid Russian troops, whether the D-Day landings in France were necessary is questionable. While American supplies contributed to the USSR’s war effort, it’s important to note that more than half of the German Army’s ďŹ ghting force was in Russia. At battles such as Kursk (the largest tank battle in history), Germany deployed close to 1 million men, while the Russians deployed close to 2 million. Furthermore, world-war2. net estimates that Russian casualties (not including civilian combatants)
numbered approximately 13 million.
MISCONCEPTION 2: E I S E N H OW E R WA S T H E F I R S T C H O I C E F O R D - DAY Some Americans may believe that Eisenhower was the ďŹ rst pick to lead the D-Day landings. While Eisenhower would become famous for conducting the invasion, the ďŹ rst choice was actually George Marshall. Marshall planned the landings for the invasion of Europe, and was going to be the one to oversee the invasion, but was stopped by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Roosevelt went so far as to say, “I didn’t feel I could sleep at ease if you were out of Washington,â€? highlighting again how prominent a role Marshall played in the war effort. Thus, the position was given to Eisenhower.
M I S C O N C E P T I O N 3: T H E A R MY WA S M A I N LY C OM PRISED OF SOLDIERS F I G H T I N G E AC H O T H E R Americans may think that armies primarily consist of soldiers ďŹ ghting one another. This, however, is a fallacy. From World War II to the present day, it’s estimated that only 1 percent to 5 percent of the military are actually front-line troops. The rest of the military plays the role of logistical support in one form or another.

Moratorium’s end illustrates need for scholarly policy M ICHAEL JONES Physics and Astronomy Department Associate Physicist ClassiďŹ ed research could begin at UH this year after the three-year moratorium announced in September 2007 ends. The MÄ noa Faculty Senate has approved a policy on such research that could serve as a model for UH policy. Because of the possibility that the Applied Research Lab (ARL) might consider “classiďŹ ed task ordersâ€? starting this fall or next spring, it is timely for faculty and the UH community to express their views before policy decisions are made. The possibility of classiďŹ ed research at UH has been contentious since the University AfďŹ liated Research Center (UARC) was proposed over ďŹ ve years ago. The UARC was subsequently called the Applied Research Lab (ARL) and was approved as a systemwide institution in September 2007 after it had been rejected by Interim MÄ noa Chancellor, De-
nise Konan, in November 2005. In a Sept. 20, 2007 memo to the UH Board of Regents (BOR), President David McClain stated that the contract for the ARL “reects our intention to perform no classiďŹ ed task orders during the ďŹ rst three years.â€? The BOR approved the contract at its Sept. 27, 2007 meeting, but the ďŹ nal contract was not signed until June 2008. Thus the three-year moratorium could end as early as this September. At least two task orders have been approved according to an article in the Dec. 3, 2008 Ka Leo. On Nov. 14, 2007, the MÄ noa Faculty Senate approved a policy on classified and proprietary research which would allow individual researchers to accept or reject restrictions and would preserve the traditional openness of academic research. In particular, this policy would prohibit classified research “at any campus location under the authority and responsibility of the MÄ noa Chancellor.â€? Research results which are not available for public review
would not be allowed in tenure and promotion decisions nor in students’ theses. Limits would be placed on restrictions that could be imposed by research sponsors. Perhaps most importantly, “scholarly results of proprietary, restricted, or classified research must have a reasonable expectation of timely publication.â€? The policy also includes a provision for a publicly accessible list of active proprietary, restricted, or classified projects involving MÄ noa researchers and review of such projects by the MÄ noa Faculty Senate Committee on Research. Universities nationwide are facing increasing attempts by government and other research sponsors to impose restrictions on academic research. The current UH administration needs to adopt a clear policy which preserves the openness and academic freedom which are essential for it to serve its students and the broader community. The MÄ noa Faculty Senate policy offers a good example.

“We should keep the D grade, most defi nitely. I don’t wanna fail so easily. I don’t like the notion of failing or not getting credit for falling in between.”
Last week, a Mount Olive New Jersey school made news by banning the use of the D grade. Some people think that D grades are the least useful rank on the GPA scale, while others think that the D is a valuable tool for keeping student GPAs high. In this week’s Ka Leo Poll, we ask you the same question: Do you think UH Mānoa should keep the D grade, or should we go directly from A, B, and C to F? Vote now in our unscientifi c poll at Kaleo.org. Results of our poll will be published next Friday. This week we asked students to give us their opinions about the D grade and this is what they said:
DAVID L EBOWITZ Junior, Mechanical Engineering
“I think that Mānoa should keep the D grade for people who need second chances. Sometimes they need a little bit more of a push, and so by the time they become seniors, they don’t even need the D grade. It’s all A’s, all of them.”
ELIJAH ISA AC Senior, Hawaiian Language
2010 Manoa Jazz and Heritage Festival featuring the Larry Carlton Trio
“I think, honestly, if someone is worried about getting a D in a class at a college level, they should get the hell out of school and go fi gure out what to do with their lives and not waste their time and money and everyone else’s.”
“I think that while the D might not help you get course credit, it might help your GPA remain at a level that’s kind of not as bad as a zero F. I fear, in that position where you’re gonna get the D, I think it would be better for that person to get the D than it would to get the F just to save the amount of GPA that they can. If they’re having a bad semester, you know, things happen, so it might help those students who need that little D savior to help them not totally destroy their GPA.”
“I think that UH should keep the D grade because it ’s still considered a passing grade for most departments in the school. A D would look better on your transcript than an F.”

’Bows on a California drive-thru
Women’s volleyball
Play three games in first road trip of season
from page 12
SEAN M ICHEL Senior Staff Reporter It may be a standard expectation in sports that playing at home equates a better chance of winning. But the Rainbow Wahine soccer team (1-3) is looking to turn that saying around as they kick off a three-game road trip today at 1:30 p.m. PST against the University of San Francisco Dons (3-0). On Sunday, the ’Bows will face off against the University of California Golden Bears, who are ranked No. 21 despite a 1-0-2 record. They will round out the road trip on Monday against St. Mary’s College (3-0) in Moraga, Calif. Despite their 1-3 record and the task of playing three road games in six days, the Rainbow Wahine are looking forward to the opportunity the trip presents. “We’re playing a lot of tough teams this year,” senior forward Mari Punzal said. “But everyone is working hard, the people that are traveling are working hard and the people who aren’t traveling are working hard.” In their three losses, the Rainbow Wahine have only lost by one goal. Punzal said playing more conistently should help them fi nd themselves on the other end of the one-goal decisions. “We would fl uctuate our level

of play a lot,” Punzal said. “We have to be more dynamic, we’re pretty much on train tracks right now, we are forcing it from the back to the front.” There has also been some adjusting for Punzal, who was moved to forward before the start of the year after three years
in the midfield, where she made first team all-WAC in 2008. Punzal has adjusted nicely, leading the team in goals (2), shots (18) and shots on goal (7). “I’m taking time to adjust but I think in time I’ll be okay,” Punzal said. “Our midfielders see a lot so it makes it really easy for
me to make runs.” And if there has been one bright spot, it’s been the defense. “(Our midfield) has been playing some savage defense and it fl usters other teams,” Punzal said. “So we tend to get the ball back very quickly when it goes down the middle.”
of three consecutive tournaments that the ’Bows will host. The Hawaiian Airlines Wahine Volleyball Classic also features Michigan State, New Mexico and No. 10 USC. The ’Bows open against MSU on Friday at 7 p.m. They play New Mexico on Saturday at 7 p.m. and wrap up the tournament on Sunday with USC at 5 p.m. All matches are at the Stan Sherriff Center. The Michigan State Spartans, out of the Big Ten, won the MSU Showcase last weekend. Senior outside hitter Megan Shatzle leads the team with 2.89 kills per set while hitting .391. Michigan State is hitting .354 as a team to .098 for its opponents. The New Mexico Lobos went 2-1 in the MGM Elegante Lobo Classic. New Mexico defeated Pepperdine and Tulane before being swept by the Stanford Cardinal. Junior outside hitter Kelly Williamson leads the Lobos with 3.11 kills per set. No. 10 USC captured the Luxe City Center Trojan Invitational title. Junior setter Kendall Bateman received the Most Valuable Player honor after racking up a career high 66 assists and 18 digs in the Trojans’ victory on the fi nal night of the tournament against Cal State Fullerton.

Danielson leading ’Bows Freshmen also making immediate impact M ARC A R AK AKI Associate Sports Editor
Junior outside hitter Kanani Danielson picked up right where she left off from last season. The All-American led No. 4 Hawai‘i (3-0) to the Chevron Rainbow Wahine Invitational crown last weekend. Danielson hit .355 for three matches, accumulating 52 kills. “I would hate to be on the opposite side of the net as her,” sophomore middle blocker Brittany Hewitt said. “We don’t want to use (Danielson) unless we have to,” head
coach Dave Shoji said. “If we use her too much she’ll get worn down. We’re trying to spread the sets around. But when you’re down, you better go to your best player, and she responded.” But along with Danielson, freshmen outside hitters Emily Hartong and Michelle Waber both made promising debuts. Hartong averaged 2.25 kills per set and Waber averaged 2.33 in their fi rst college matches. The two started all three games last weekend. “I knew ( Waber) had it in her,” Shoji said. “It’s just a matter of getting her accustomed to some big blocks out there and hitting smart.” “Hartong is going to be a great player. ... I don’t know if it’s
going to be in the middle or outside,” Shoji said. “She just gives you another dimension.” Freshmen outside hitter Kaela Goodman, setter Mita Uiato and middle blocker Kristiana Tuaniga also appeared in their fi rst games as Rainbow Wahine in the tournament. “Overall as a team, we re ally stuck together,” senior setter Dani Mafua said of the team’s play last weekend. “ We were tested a lot during different games but we did a great job just bouncing back and coming together and really finding that rhythm.” This week marks the second
