LYNN NAK AGAWA News Editor During her senior year at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, Kacie Miura, recent UHM alumna, saw a Peace Corps advertisement that read, “The corner office can wait, but some corners of the world can’t.” The statement resounded with Miura, who was further inspired to apply to the program. Miura, who majored in journalism, thought the program was “the perfect combination of adventure and service.” She now teaches English at a rural university located along the Yangtze River in Chongqing, China. “Teaching has been a great experience. The students are very respectful and eager to learn and teaching them is incredibly fun,” said Miura through e-mail. In addition to teaching English, Miura has participated in teacher training programs, started a women’s leadership group, and tries to organize cross-cultural activities for her students. Besides her love for her students and spicy Chinese food, Miura has also learned more about herself. “I’ve discovered that I am more independent and iron-willed than I had thought. I’ve certainly learned to be more patient and open-minded. I’ve learned a lot about America, about how others in the world view the American people and government. I also realized that there is a lot about living in America that I once took for granted,” she said. The Peace Corps program turns 50 next year. There are currently 13 alumni of the UHM serving as volunteers. They are assigned to sectors such as education, agriculture, health and HIV/AIDS, youth, and environment. They serve in the Philippines, Morocco, Peru and COURTESY OF KACIE MIURA various locations around the world.

Volunteers with Perkins loans may also be eligible for partial cancellation of their loan per year of service. “We also have programs that you can concurrently do Peace Corps and earn a master’s degree at the same time,” Pierce said. Pierce compares the initial application process to applying for college. “You write a couple of essays, you get references, it’s fairly easy just spread over a long period of time,” she said. Volunteers have to go through a medical clearance and background check, which may take six months to a year. “It’s competitive, but Peace Corps will be exploding and growing and we will have many opportunities in 2011. Even if it’s competitive, it’s a really good time to apply,” she said. Pierce views herself as a coach and hopes to help interested students get into the program. PHOTO COURTESY OF KACIE MIURA

Since 1961, over 500 UHM alumni have served in the program. This fall, UHM welcomes a new Peace Corps recruiter to the campus. Sena Pierce, graduate student in second-language studies, volunteered through the Peace Corps in Tonga and has worked in Washington, D.C. before taking the job at UH. During her first two years in Tonga, Pierce taught as an English resource teacher and taught English language lessons at a primary level. “My primary assignment when I was in Tonga was to teach at a local primary school, which was actually the only school on the island. While I was there, the principal at the school mentioned they used to have community kindergarten and wanted to set it up again. She wanted to know if I would help her,” she said. “A lot of times we’re in communities to help other people accomplish their goals. I helped the principal set up a community kindergarten,” said Pierce. Pierce extended her service in Tonga to a third year, in which she worked with a Tongan non-governmental organization (NGO) that promoted the development of community preschools in the country. The NGO had an executive committee that sought to interest the Ministry of Education in Tonga in supporting the development of preschools. Pierce graduated with a bachelor’s degree in studio art. “I was really interested in com-

Each week, women of all ages come together for a group workout. “I started teaching Zumba with a vision to help girls feel sexy in the skin they’re in, and to get them that one hour out of their day to focus on themselves and get all their stress out,� said Villiger. “And it is such a healthy workout because it targets all areas (arms, buns, legs, abs) with moves

Many celebrities claim that they use Zumba to stay in shape, and though Zumba is practiced by a majority of women, even Jackie Chan has admitted to using Zumba to maintain his toned ďŹ gure. In addition to this workout, eating right is also crucial to sculpting a physique. Zumba is a great, fun way to
exercise and it gives a bit of scandalous appeal.
Villiger’s class takes place on Monday and Friday (5:15 p.m.) above CPK in Kahala Mall and Wednesdays at 6:15 p.m. at Jarrett Middle School. There is no class every third Friday. There is a $5 fee per session.

Retro fashion and unique designs at Fresh Café
The aim of Fresh Café’s Art and Flea night is to create a venue where artists can showcase their work outside of First Friday’s.
KA LEO O HAWAI‘I ANNOUNCES A SPECIAL ADVANCE SCREENING Thursday, September 23 • 7:30 pm Ward 16 Theatres

ROBERT C HOY Contributing Writer
If you’re looking for something a bit different from the usual fare of brand name attire, then this Thursday’s Art and Flea at Fresh Café is worth a look. It’s an all ages event from 5 to 11 p.m. where you can buy retro and vintage clothes, handmade jewelry, and even furniture that you won’t fi nd anywhere else. Art and Flea, successor to Fresh Café’s previous monthly event, “Garage Sale,” and brainchild of co-founders Aly Ishikawa, Nicole Franco and Tiffany Tanaka, has seen an increase in popularity since its inception in July of this year. The founders aimed to create a New York-style flea market where artists could showcase their works in a venue beyond just First Fridays. In order to keep in line with Art and Flea’s dream, the creators have implemented rules which
prevent the sale of anything mass produced. Everything must be original, vintage, antique or handmade. When asked what they look for in vendors, Franco said, “We look for not-your-average beading or crystals, but for vendors who are doing things unique.” With so many artists in one area, it provides the opportunity for them to collaborate and receive attention from the media. “Many of (the vendors) have received press from local publications,” Franco said. “Vendors also have the opportunity to network with other vendors and (the) creative community while receiving feedback on their creations.” Vendor Cheyne Gallarde of Firebird Photography can attest to that fact. “I am able to meet other likeminded artists and sometimes we partner up,” he said. “For example, a jewelry designer could lend me some of her original creations for a shoot and in exchange I’ll get her
photos to help her promote herself.” Mai Yamazaki of i am. jewelry, a new vendor at Art and Flea whose goods she describes as “geometric, simple and unisex”, is similarly eager to benefit from the event. “I hope it gives me more exposure and support,” she said. The crowd at Art and Flea is as diverse as its vendors. Now that college is back in full swing, the founders are hoping for an increased presence of students. Aly noted that foreign exchange students seem to have the right idea, with surprising turnout from them at last month’s Art and Flea. This month’s Art and Flea, in addition to its clothing and jewelry vendors, will be featuring a “Vintage Photo Booth” where people can take pictures with their newly purchased clothes and accessories. Art and Flea will also be selling Halloween costumes, if you’re starting your search for them early, and will be having a costume contest next month.

3-D movies: A stupid idea from start to finish “M ICHAEL BREWER Opinions Associate Editor “Avatar” director James Cameron believes that by 2025, all movies will have an extra third-dimension with the help of thick, black shades. But 3 -D movies are a gimmick. Think about it: all movies will jump out of the screen in jaw-dropping amaze ment! A nd the over-dramatic announcer at the end of movie trailers who says, “ Watch it in 3 -D!” won’t be necessar y to pull in audiences. Any time I have gone to a 3-D display, I have left disappointed and $15 poorer. The apparent realism, if any, was destroyed by dark, blurry images that strained my eyes. Still, there must be a huge group of moviegoers out there that love the extra dimension because in the latter half of 2010, three major 3-D theatrical fi lms are expected to be released per month. Yet, the term “3-D movie” is already inaccurate information. All of our movies, with or without the glasses, are in 3-D. It’s the screen that’s missing a dimension. We inherently process images f lashing across two-dimensional movie screens as having another dimension — breadth, height and depth. Watching “Mad Max” slowly drive off into the distance is an art feature we learn about in the second grade; we know something is farther away if it’s smaller in our

Social security: after death MORGAN CARMODY Staff Writer Currently the courts in each state are battling a new subject concerning whether children should receive social security survivor benefits if they were conceived after their parent have died. Because Social Security is meant for people who need it, parents who choose to conceive posthumously have made a conscious decision to have a baby, which in-
cludes knowing whether they are able to afford a child. As stated by Ashley Jones in an article in the Wall Street Jour-
when parents die, the law is murky on whether it has to do the same for a child conceived after a parent’s death. Sometimes, the

Social Security Administration pays, sometimes it doesn’t.” According to the Social Secu-
rity Administration website nearly 3.8 million children with a deceased, retired or disabled parent receive approximately $1.6 billion each month. Social Security benefits help to stabilize education and necessities for families with a compromised situation. Essentially, Social Security is meant to serve as a safety net in the case of the unexpected. But what should be done if either an embryo See Social Security, next page

vision relative to something that may be in the foreground. In fact, 3-D cinematography only offers two new things to what we perceive: parallax and accommodation. Parallax, or stereopsis, is a sensation we experience when two different projections are cast on to the eyes’ retinas. Nineteenth century scientist Charles Wheatstone explained stereopsis in his writing, “the mind perceives an object of three-dimensions by means of the two dissimilar pictures projected by it on the two retinae.” If you take your shades off in a 3-D film, you’ll see how the images on screen are skewed to the right or left, like they’re being replicated slightly offcenter in a dramatic plexiglass effect. That effect is the parallax of the movie image. The other effect, accommodation, is not even accurately
portrayed in 3-D fi lm, according to a stereoscopic display conference in San Jose, Calif. earlier this year. Accommodation is a fancy word for describing the eye’s ability to focus on an object. When looking through those red- and cyanfi ltered glasses, it’s oftentimes hard to focus on an image, like the fl ying beasts in James Cameron’s Avatar. The eyes need to converge together and the pupils constrict every time the parallax of the images is changed to make something seem farther away or closer in our vision. Over time, this can give you a headache. While researchers are still debating about the health risks of 3-D technology, they have been known to cause black-outs. In April, electronics company Samsung issued a warning for pregnant women, the elderly, children, sufferers of serious
medical conditions, and people who are sleep-deprived or intoxicated watching 3-D movies. There are a few other minor issues with 3 -D technology, such as the picture being noticeably darker, especially when the apparent 3 -D technology was shot using Polaroid technology. Closer images may also block farther images. Then there is the motion sickness, and the wallet sickness one may experience while looking for the $15 that slipped out paying for the ticket. More films these days are being shot with Real 3D, Dolby 3D, Xpn 3D, Master Image 3D, IMA X 3D, and more, because the technology to produce 3D images has matured. The image is now less limited and the result is more stable. Yet, the extra money for the ticket still does not seem worth paying for fl awed technology.
or sperm is frozen and then used to conceive a child after one of the parents has died? Should the child still get these benefits? Currently, the Social Security Act requires that the federal government look to state governments to answer this question. Courts in Massachusetts, New Jersey, Arizona and Iowa have ruled that such children are entitled to Social Security benefits. Courts in Florida, New Hampshire and Arkansas have ruled that children are not entitled to benefits.
Sonny Miller, a lawyer in Minnesota and a member of the legislative committee of the Minnesota bar association’s probate and trust law section, has stated, “Typically the benefits are intended to help parents who have experienced an unexpected tragedy and loss of income … It’s not meant as something you expect to get when you make the decision to have a child.” A fter all, if social security is granted to these parents, why not to single working mothers?

Seniors taking lead ’Bows head on second road trip RUSSELL TOLENTINO Sports Editor
It’s fitting that the Rainbow Wahine soccer team’s two seniors are also the two leaders. “We just have to hold everyone to higher standards,” senior forward Mari Punzal said. Punzal and defender Chelsea Deptula have started for the ’Bows for four straight years. They are also the only two players left on the team from the 2007 season (their freshman year), where the team won the Western Athletic Conference championship and made its fi rst NCA A appearance. The team has struggled since then, going 16 -18 -5 the last two years and is 2-7 this year. Still, the seniors are taking lead of this season’s team. “We’re trying to motivate the
other girls, trying to let them know that these years fl y by super fast,” Deptula said. “We want them to enjoy this experience that we have being here.” The Rainbow Wahine are on their second road trip of the season. They will play No. 2 Stanford on Thursday at 7 p.m. PST and Pacifi c on Sunday at 11 a.m. PST. Stanford is 6 -0-2 and one of the top offensive teams in the country. The have scored 21 goals, averaging 2.62 per game. Forward Christen Press, who is a senior, has scored 10 of Stanford’s goals. She was named the National Player of the Week by TopDrawerSoccer.com for her 5 -goal performance in the Santa Clara Classic last week. Senior Kira Maker and freshman Emily Oliver have split time at goalie and have only given up seven goals this year. Pacific, on the other hand, has struggled. They are 2-4-2 and have been out scored by op-
ponents 11 goals to 5. For the ’Bows, they have out shot their opponents 99 -87 but have been out scored 22-9. The seniors are also leading the offense. Punzal and Deptula are tied for the team lead with three goals each. And the two still believe the team can be successful. “It is our senior year, we want to go out with a bang so we’re going to make sure things can be produced,” Punzal said. “This year is our last year so (we) want to make it a memorable one,” Deptula said.

with 4.4 kills per set. McArthur also received the fi rst two WAC Player of the Week honors this season. Earlier this year, San Diego State fell to both the Rainbow Wahine and Aggies. SDSU head coach Deitre Collins-Parker, a former Rainbow Wahine All-American, feels that Utah State isn’t a team to take lightly. “The thing that Utah State is going to do is not make a lot of errors,” Collins-Parker said. “ They’re going to force you to
make errors. Utah State is just a solid team.” BYU, who lost to Hawai‘i twice last week, also faced Utah State earlier this season. Head coach for BY U, Shay Goulding, also said that the Aggies will give Hawai‘i a tough test because of their maturity. “(Utah State is a) very good team,” Goulding said. “They’ve developed into a mature team. They’ve taken their lumps the past couple years and these kids have matured. It’s going to be a battle of
consistency between both teams. I don’t think they (USU) are going to lay down and die like they maybe have in the past.” The Nevada Wolfpack (6 -6) is led by 2007 St. Francis graduate Kylie Harrington, who is averaging 3.21 kills per set. Junior setter Tatiana Santiago (Kamehameha ’08), sophomore defensive specialist Kelly Chang (Hawai‘i Baptist Academy ’09) and sophomore outside hitter Elissa Ji (Maryknoll ’09) are also on the Nevada roster.

clude f lag football, basketball, soccer, volleyball as well as old recess favorites like kickball and dodgeball. They also run various tournaments throughout the year where teams compete for prizes. Getting involved in intramural sports is a fun way to stay in shape, instead of working out alone. “It gives you a goal and an objective so it doesn’t feel boring like when you work out at the gym,” said a fl ag-football competitor that wished to remain anonymous. “People feel more inclined to work towards a goal together rather than by themselves.” Intramural sports are also easier to fit into a busy college student’s schedule because leagues and tournaments take place in the evening, with game times ranging from 6 p.m. until about 9 p.m. League coordinators work with teams to create a schedule that best suits their availability. If a student has a night class on Wednesdays, it’s possible to set up his or her league schedule so
all of the team’s games fall on a Tuesday or Thursday.
GOING ONLINE In previous years, each team member had to physically go into the Recreations Center offi ce to sign a waiver and provide a validated student ID card. The signup sheet then had to be copied and fi led by the offi ce for record keeping. This summer, the recreational services offi ce joined an Intramural League Management site called IMleagues.com to make the process easier. Now, everything is recorded online. All potential players have to do is have their team captain create an account with the website and create a team. The other players can fi nd their team, agree to the waiver and join the team without walking to lower campus. All the information on the league is also available online for anyone to access. Scores, statistics, schedules, rosters, photos and even the weather on the field is on the league homepage. Players can also leave
their phone number on the site so that if there’s a change in schedule, they can be alerted via text message. “We always had a vision of doing things more streamline for our students,” said Baxa when asked about the switch to the new online system. “Ease was what we wanted to focus on.” There are no additional fees because the equipment and referee costs are paid for by student fees every semester. Separate fees are required, however, for sports requiring off-campus play, such as golf. Baxa started competing in intramural sports while he attended UH and still runs the department with the same passion he played with. “Where else can you work where students enjoy the services you provide?” Baxa said. “It’s competitive and fun and something I love.”

’Bows open WAC play WAC tougher than last year M ARC A R AK AKI Associate Sports Editor When it comes to women’s volleyball, the rest of the Western Athletic Conference has taken the back seat while the Rainbow Wahine controlled the wheel. But it ’s a new season and the WAC has improved from last year. Eight of the nine WAC teams currently hold a record above or one game shy of .500. In 2009, only four teams fi nished at or above .500. “I’m excited,” senior outside hitter Kanani Dan-

ielson said. “The more high level we have for our own conference betters us, betters our RPI (ratings percentage index) and hopefully that will get us to wake up and get ready for later. As much as we are focusing on the season, we need to focus on where we are going to get put for the rankings.” No. 5 Hawai‘i begins WAC play this week with Utah State on Friday and Nevada on Saturday. Both games are set for 7 p.m. at the Stan Sheriff Center. The Utah State Aggies boast the best record in the WAC. The Aggies (12-1) are led by junior outside hitter Liz McArthur, who ranks 19th in the nation See Women’s volleyball, page 11

Ever dreamt of sinking the buzzer-beating 3-pointer or throwing the game-winning touchdown pass? The Intramural Sports Department at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa gives students and faculty the opportunity to play competitive sports without the pressure of being on a collegiate team.
“We like to provide a seriousfun atmosphere,” said Gari Baxa, assistant director of the Intramural Recreational Services. This means that although games are competitive, the main goal of the program is to provide a fun experience for those participating. The Intramural Program provides many sports to play for friendly competition. They inSee Intramurals, page 11
