Hello new students, Welcome to UH Mānoa! Whether you agonized for months over what college to attend or if your path was definite from the start, I’d like to tell you to rest easy now that your college career is finally beginning. Except, well, there’s really not a moment to spare. Your college years will be transformational, but they’ll also pass quickly. There’s so much to figure out: What will you major in? What new interests or habits will you develop? Who will your friends be? Where will you fit in among the 20,000 people on campus? Those are exactly the kind of questions this guide is designed to help you answer. Whether you want to know where to go for advising (p. 12), how to find your way around campus (p. 40-41) or what life on O‘ahu is like (p. 60), we’ve included a variety of articles to smooth your transition to UH. As much as we can tell you here, there is one thing we can’t do for you: get involved. There’s no doubt that, over the next few weeks, you’ll be bombarded with recruiters, club presidents and others who want you to join their cause. Your goal during this time is to find at least one organization with a mission that genuinely interests you. While doing the minimum to get by may be tempting, remember that these few years are your opportunity to figure out what to do with the rest of your life. Being involved on campus also includes being aware of what’s going on here. As UH’s student newspaper, it’s Ka Leo’s job to keep you informed on campus news, upcoming events, UH athletics and a host of other topics. There are also more ways than ever to access Ka Leo. While our printed newspaper is moving from three editions a week to one this fall, we’re bolstering our web presence, offering you more content in new ways at kaleo.org and on our mobile app. Regardless of what you do during your time at Mānoa, we hope this guide – and everything else Ka Leo offers – will be of service to you.

Aloha and welcome to the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa! This Ka Leo New Student Orientation Guide celebrates your first day of classes of the Fall 2014 semester. You are beginning the journey to explore, discover and appreciate your second home at UH Mānoa. As you’ll learn from this NSO Guide, we are the most unique university campus in the world. Situated in the middle of the vibrant Asia-Pacific region, UH Mānoa’s geographic position bridges the U.S. mainland and Far East. Our location results in an impressively diverse ethnic population of students, faculty and staff. They – along with family, friends, alumni and supporters – all become part of a larger UH Mānoa ‘ohana (Hawaiian for “family”). One of my core messages as chancellor is the importance of creating a transformational environment for learning. I want you to discover your own academic passions while being thoroughly immersed in the “Mānoa Experience,” one that is reflected back upon with great fondness and aloha. Stay informed and keep up-to-date on events, news and important happenings on campus by reading Ka Leo and regularly checking our home page at manoa.hawaii.edu. Follow us on Facebook at facebook.com/uhmanoa and Twitter at twitter.com/uhmanoanews. We’re glad that you’re here!

Aloha! Welcome to the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa! Whether you are a freshman or a student attending Mānoa for the first time, you have chosen to embark on an academic journey lined with opportunities to create memories that will last a lifetime. The Associated Students of the University of Hawaiʻi (ASUH) is here to help you along the way. ASUH is your undergraduate student government representing all full-time, classified and undergraduate students. We advocate for and promote the general welfare of our constituents through student representation, providing scholarship and funding other various organizations and departments on campus. Before I was elected to serve as President, I wanted to increase funding for ASUH scholarships. With a great portfolio, Treasurer, finance chair, Senate and advisor, this first initiative was accomplished through a budget passed in the Senate and now awaiting official approval. Other initiatives I am focusing on are engaging the campus more through events and collaboration with the other Chartered Student Organizations (CSO’s) and most importantly, advocating more effectively for the needs of our constituents. What will make your experience at UHM even more memorable is taking the time to establish relationships with people that come from all over the world to receive a great education in paradise. Everyone has a different backstory, so don’t be afraid to engage in conversation because that person may end up being your best friend in this chapter of your life! Wish you all the best and don’t forget to stop by our office in Campus Center 211A to pick up applications to apply for scholarships, committee positions and much more!

Sincerely, Alexander Bitter 2014-2015 Editor-in-Chief, Ka Leo O Hawai‘i Chi f K

As a student at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, all new and incoming students receive an identification card known as the Mānoa One Card. With your student ID comes privileges that will allow you to access university bonuses usable not only on campus, but at participating vendors off campus as well. Take full advantage of the possible discounts and benefits you can gain by using your One Card whenever you have the chance.

VALIDATION If you are new at UH Mānoa, first make sure to have created a University of Hawai‘i email and registered for classes. Once that’s done, you can pick up your ID card at the Ticket, Information and ID Office located in Campus Center. The card is issued for free to students, faculty and staff when first receiving it, but please note if a replacement is needed, you will be charged a $25 fee. If you are a continuing student and already have a card, remember to get it validated at the same office to renew your U-Pass sticker for the semester. The validated sticker lasts

through the semester and allows students to ride the TheBus without charge and is a popular mode of transportation among all students. The $30 fee included in each individual’s paid tuition guarantees a U-Pass, so you have a way to get around whenever you need to. CAMPUS CENTER SERVICES Show your One Card at the ticket office, and you can get discounts on all types of upcom-

ing events put on by the university such as movie passes, concert and athletic tickets. It can also get you cheap admission to see performances at Kennedy Theatre if you are looking for something fun to do while saving a few dollars. Need a passport photo? You can get that taken for a discounted price at the Ticket Office too with your card, as well as fax and lamination services.

Ma noa MEAKALIA PREVICH-LIU Staff Writer

The Leisure Center programs and activities include low-cost equipment rentals and leisure classes as some of the privileges to students with validated ID cards. And you have access to the Campus Center computer lab with it, which can be very helpful when you need to print homework that is more than ten pages – here you pay seven cents per page instead of 11 cents at the library.

One Card ON-CAMPUS DINING SERVICES If you are in a hurry and don’t have cash on you, your card can be used to purchase food at Mānoa Dining Services locations, like Stir Fresh, Starbucks and Jamba Juice all located at Campus Center. Putting money on your card in order to have Dining Dollars or a meal plan is sometimes easier and more convenient for students. Check out the Mānoa Dining services website for more information go to: uhmdining.com/. LIBRARY BENEFITS When you need to get some serious work done for class, head to the Hamilton or Sinclair library with your ID and you can reserve study rooms to practice presentations or study with a group. You will need your ID to borrow books, and it will also allow access into Sinclair after 9 p.m., as well as other computer lab privileges.

DAMO_4701 / FREEIMAGES.COM MICHELLE CHEN / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

ATHLETIC COMPLEX AND EVENTS ACCESS To gain access into any athletic complex on campus like the Student Fitness Center or Duke Kahanamoku Swimming Pool, just remember you will usually need that ID on you. Then you have the opportunity to make use of the equipment rentals available, non-

stop playing times for matches between friends at the tennis courts or daily use of the gym.

HIDDEN DISCOUNTS ON AND OFF CAMPUS The UH Mānoa Bookstore often has discounted software for reasonable prices that beat paying the full amount at places like the Apple Store when you bring your ID. With that in mind, students can find many off-campus merchant vendors with other sales that will accept your student ID by checking out the Ka Leo app directory for the list. By using this strategy, you’ll get to possibly experience food at restaurants off campus for a cheaper price or sometimes even get free offers.

OTHER BENEFICIAL CAMPUS RESOURCES To further accelerate your studies and to fulfill the language requirement for most majors at UH Mānoa, you can access and use the software of the Moore Hall Language Labs thanks to your ID. At the lab, you have the privilege to use specialized software that allows for both language audio listening and voice recording. You will also need an ID to take unit mastery course labs, which is a pretty good deal for so many valuable and accessible resources.

Make a (wireless) connection PAIGE TAKEYA Senior Staff Writer One of the many perks that your tuition pays for is free Wi-Fi on campus. But how do you best take advantage of such a resource? Ka Leo has a few tips that will make your life a little easier.

HOT SPOTS ON CAMPUS

KASSANDRA FOCHTMAN KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

As with any kind of wireless network, the signal does tend to vary around campus. The following tips are based off of personal observation over six years as a student here. SINCLAIR > HAMILTON As much as I prefer the frigid temperatures of our flagship library, I find the signal tends to fizzle out as you go higher. It’s fine on the first floor, but on the fourth floor, I always struggle to connect. Sinclair, while noisier and hotter, has solid signal from top to bottom. STAY CLOSE TO THE MALL Most of the classroom buildings are located along McCarthy Mall, so it makes sense that this area, generally speaking, has a very strong signal. The bus stop by Sinclair Circle, though? I never can connect when I’m over there. A detailed map of wireless coverage is at manoa.hawaii.edu/campusmap/wireless.php. STAY INSIDE Virtually every single building on campus is on the wireless network. However, there are areas in each building that are weaker than others. Underground or too high up? You might run into trouble. Stay wherever there are classrooms or large amounts of people: Those areas are the safest bets. PEAK HOURS? I have never had a problem with speed while connected to UH Wi-Fi. Things always move at a brisk speed, regardless of time of day. However, I do not generally download large files or play online games while on campus, so it is possible that, if you are doing some heavy bandwidth activities, you may encounter lag. VALID USERNAMES You will only have access to the wireless network if you are a current student who has paid all of his or her student fees. These are the rules – in theory. In reality, I have seen alumni get on the network with the same usernames with no difficulty for several semesters after their graduation. Still, don’t take your Internet for granted: Always pay your student fees on time.

TIPS

The wireless passthrough only lasts for a year – but you can renew it as many times as you want. Just be sure to check on it at the start of every year.

WIRELESS PASSTHROUGH Every time you try to log onto the wireless network at UH, you’ll be prompted to log in with your username and password – just to ensure that you are authorized to take advantage of the free Internet. Sure, it takes just 15 seconds to type a few words – but what if you could skip that step altogether and instantly hit the web? Thanks to the Information Technology Services (ITS) Wireless Passthrough, you can. 1

Visit hawaii.edu/wireless/pt.

Grab your smartphone/computer/tablet and find the MAC address. It’s usually located in a device’s “About” section.

Type the MAC address into the correct fields, and click “Add.”

Enjoy never having to log in again.

You can register up to 10 devices, so even if you juggle multiple devices, you should still be OK.

How to use myUH portal and Laulima BRIAN CHEUNG Staff Writer MyUH Portal and Laulima are useful and necessary online tools for UH students. You can easily manage your school accounts and class activities by using these tools. Some students have problems accessing these sites or find difficulties in using them. Here is a quick breakdown on how to use myUH and Laulima.

myUH portal You can log in myUH Portal from the UH Mānoa website, or you can use myuh.hawaii.edu. When you have logged into the site, you will find a list of services on the left column of the home page. You will likely use most of them during your time at UH. To find the course number, go to the home page and click “Check Class Availability” on the left column, then look up the course number that you need. If you need to register for classes, click “Add/Drop Classes” at the bottom to access the page. Choose your target semester, and you will be redirected to the registration page. You will see classes for which you have already registered. You can then start adding the courses you wish to take by using the Course Registration Number (CRN). If you are receiving financial aid, you can use myUH Portal to manage this, too. When you click on “Financial Aid,” you will see your financial aid information. You can click on “Payment Schedule” to see when your check will be delivered. You can also accept or decline student loan offers on this page. If you need to provide any documents to the financial aid office, they will show up on the “Student Requirement” page. These pages are on the bottom of the financial aid site.

Ka Leo Page 11

Laulima Teachers use Laulima to post announcements, class materials and grades. Some teachers require students to turn in homework via Laulima as well. Student organizations also use Laulima. You can find the icon of Laulima on the right side of myUH portal or by typing laulima.hawaii.edu into the address bar to access it.

You will see your classes and groups on the front page of Laulima. Click each tab to access updates and assignments for that class. Similar to myUH Portal, you will find all functions of each class on the left column.

You can also send emails to your teacher, TA or classmates from Laulima. You can find their hawaii.edu email address from the “Mailtool” function, and you can ask for help or recruit a study group for your class by sending an email blast.

Some teachers will manually post grades on Laulima. If your teacher does this, you can find your current grades on “Gradebook.” You will find this function on the left column if your professor uses the function.

Only a few of the basic functions of myUH Portal and Laulima were introduced here. As you use them, you will likely find other elements and functions that are useful. In addition, both sites have online tutorials if you need any more help.

Your teacher may send email via Laulima, including class announcements or uploaded material notifications. You can download documents that the instructor has posted on the “Resources” section.

If your teacher requires you to turn in homework via Laulima, you can click “Assignment” and read the homework requirements and the deadline. You can also upload your homework from there if your professor allows it. Some instructors require students to put their work into “Dropbox,” so make sure you verify what his or her submission method of choice is before you turn in your work.

Locating your academic safety net PAIGE TAKEYA Senior Staff Writer

Is college more difficult than high school? Debatable. But there’s no question that higher education demands higher levels of independence. If you start falling behind, don’t panic: Utilize one of these services to stay afloat.

TUTORING The key to knowing which campus tutoring resource can best help you is to figure out where you’re struggling. Obviously, your first stop when having difficulties should be your professor – after all, who is better qualified to tell you how to pass the course? But if he or she proves unhelpful, there are a number of other options – all free of charge – to utilize.

If an essay is the issue, The Writing Center in Kuykendall 415 is the place to be. Staffed by graduates and undergraduates from the English department, TWC is equipped to handle any of your writing needs, ranging from organization to grammar to citations, in any subject. Visit english.hawaii.edu/ writingcenter before heading down to make an appointment. Hours: Mon-Fri 9 a.m.-6 p.m. ANTOINETTE RANIT / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Those enrolled in math and science courses might find the Undergraduate Learning Emporium in Bilger Addition 209 to be more helpful. Tutors are trained to assist students in math, chemistry, information and computer sciences, biology and physics introductory courses. The Emporium can also be utilized as a quiet study lounge, so even if you don’t think you need help right off the bat, it doesn’t hurt to hang around. Check online at hawaii.edu/ natsci/learningemporium.php to make sure someone is available when you visit. Hours: Mon-Fri 8 a.m.-5 p.m.

If you’re just looking for general academic help, the Learning Assistance Center in Sinclair Library’s Mezzanine 1 is your best bet. LAC takes a broad approach to college success: It offers specialized seminars and tutoring sessions that focus on general strategies for college success – how to take effective notes, for example – in addition to tutoring in select subjects. You’ll have to make an online appointment at manoa.hawaii.edu/ undergrad/learning, but visiting the site is worth it. Hours: Mon-Fri 9 a.m.-5 p.m. ANTOINETTE RANIT / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

KASSANDRA FOCHTMAN / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

ADVISING AND HONORS

If you’re an especially driven freshman, then you already know what you’re majoring in – and you probably have a career goal in mind, too. But for everyone else, the Mānoa Advising Center is the go-to place for planning your future course work. Located in QLCSS 101, MAC is designed to help those who remain undeclared majors. Peer advisors will help you create a schedule that keeps you ahead of your general education requirements and allows you to explore potential major options. It’s mandatory to see an advisor every semester anyway, so make an appointment in person as soon as you can. Hours: Mon-Fri 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m.; closed Wed

Overachievers might consider the Honors Program. Yes, it’ll entail a little more coursework on your part, but being an Honors student reaps a lot of perks. You register earlier than everyone else, get access to special dorms, have valuable networking opportunities and earn a fancier degree down the line. It might be a little late to register for the fall (deadline is Aug. 1), but you have until Dec. 1 to decide if you’d like to apply for Spring 2015. Visit the program’s offices in Sinclair Library Commons or visit honors.hawaii.edu. PEGGY LIANG / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

10 facts «

you may not know about the Manoa Campus

DID YOU KNOW?

The Rainbow Warriors’ head football coach, Norm Chow, was the highest paid state employee in 2013 with an annual salary of $550,000.

Ka Leo was originally called the Hawaiʻi Mirror for the first year of publication in 1922.

C OMPILED BY FADI YOUKHANA Managing Editor

Among the interesting classes offered at the Mānoa Campus, students can take “Chado: The Way of Tea Practicum” for credit as Asian Studies 324.

In Fall 2013, the UH Mānoa Campus recorded an enrollment of 20,006 students

A 2013 episode of Hawaiʻi Five-O was filmed in part at the University of Hawaiʻi’s Bilger Hall and Gateway House at the Mānoa Campus. In the episode, scenes filmed on campus took place at “Oahu State University.”

Chinese American architect I.M. Pei designed Kennedy Theatre and Imin International Conference Center. His more famous works include the Bank of China Tower in Hong Kong and the glass pyramid at the Louvre in Paris.

The Mānoa campus is the oldest campus of the University of Hawaiʻi system. It was founded in 1907 as a college of agriculture and mechanical arts.

Saunders Hall was previously known as Porteus Hall after Stanley Porteus who is best known for his controversial cross-cultural research on mental ability. The building was renamed in 2001.

Robert Ballard, the man who led a team that discovered the remains of the Titanic in the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, received his master’s degree geophysics at UH Mānoa.

Who’s who in UH administration ALEX BITTER Editor-in-Chief You see them speaking in sound bites on TV and quoted in the newspaper, but exactly who are those people who hang out in Hawai‘i and Bachman Halls? Here’s a quick guide to the administrators that you’re likely to see on campus.

PHOTO COURTESY UH SYSTEM

David Lassner

Tom Apple

Although Lassner has been the interim president of the university system for a year, it wasn’t until last month that he received the official nod from the Board of Regents to assume the position long-term. The regents chose him over retired Lt. Gen. Frank Wiercinski in a landslide vote on June 2. Although he’s in a new position, Lassner is no stranger to campus. He came to Mānoa for the first time in the 1970s as a computer science graduate student and has held various teaching and administrative positions at UH in the time since. Now, with the reins of the UH system in his hands, the president has several goals for the university. At a forum in May, Lassner said one of his main initiatives would focus on expanding distance learning opportunities and online course offerings.

Heading into his third year as the administrative head of the Mānoa campus, Chancellor Apple has several initiatives on his plate, ranging from campus security to backlogged building maintenance. Although he’s only been in his position – and in Hawai‘i – for a couple of years, Apple has remained vocal on major campus issues. In May 2013, he suggested in an interview with Ka Leo that UH should consider moving its athletics teams from Division I to Division II to save money – a suggestion he later said should remain a last resort. The chancellor has also become well-known for his “Campus-Wide Conversations,” regular public forums held multiple times throughout the year that allow students, faculty, staff and others on campus to voice their concerns.

Athletic Director, UH Mānoa Hired to run Mānoa’s athletics program in the wake of the 2012 “Wonder Blunder” in which the program lost $200,000 in an attempt to organize a benefit concert, Jay has brought a Big 10 perspective to UH sports. Coming from the athletic administration at Ohio State University, he’s made balancing the department’s budget a top priority. In particular, Jay has called for more fundraising from corporate and other private sources, as well as renegotiating the concession and parking agreements between UH and Aloha Stadium to boost revenue. In July, he oversaw the university’s athletic merchandising rebranding effort with the opening of a new retail location, the “H-Zone,” in Ward Center.

ACADEMIC GRIEVANCES: what are they, and how do I file one?

PEGGY LIANG / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

DANIELLA REYES Contributing Writer Nobody ever wants to have to file an academic grievance, but it’s always better to be prepared. Here’s how: Academic grievance is an issue directly associated with a faculty member’s responsibilities as a teacher and a student’s responsibilities as a learner. When filing an academic grievance, make sure that you’ve fulfilled all of your responsibilities as a student, as outlined by the Office of Student Affairs. These include abiding by the UH Mānoa Student Conduct Code, exhibiting behavior that does not interfere with the rights of other students and faculty to learn, attending classes and more. For the full list of student responsibilities visit: http://studentaffairs.manoa.hawaii. edu/policies/academic_grievance/. Some responsibilities of faculty include providing students equitable and unbiased treatment,

exhibiting behavior that does not interfere with the rights of other faculty and students to learn, providing timely evaluation and more. More information on the responsibilities of faculty is also available on the Office of Student Affairs website. If you have fulfilled all your responsibilities as a student and believe that a faculty member has failed to meet his or hers, you may initiate action to achieve a remedy. There are three steps involved: Step 1: Try to talk to the faculty member(s) involved to resolve the problem. You might want to also consult the Department Chairperson, campus mediation services or the Dean of Students during this time to reach an informal resolution. Step 2: Prepare a formal complaint in writing. You should include a statement of the facts and cite the specific academic violation(s), the remedy that you want to achieve and the faculty member(s) statement or actions during your

meeting in Step 1. You should file your complaint within 10 days of the date on which the outcome with the faculty member in Step 1 was reached. The Department Chair will meet with you and the faculty member separately or jointly to try and resolve the matter. Step 3: If the matter still is not resolved, you may file an appeal in writing with the chairperson of the Academic Grievance Committee (AGC). The AGC will review your appeal and determine if there is reasonable cause for your issue. If there is, a hearing will be scheduled within 15 workdays and all parties involved with be notified of the final decision in writing. Remember, it is the policy of UH Mānoa to provide you with consistent and equitable treatment in resolving these kind of disputes. If you believe that an injustice is occurring, speak up. For more information, contact the Office of Student Affairs or the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Students, at 956-3290 or vcs@hawaii.edu.

HOW TO DRESS LIKE A COLLEGE STUDENT

Before the first day of class even starts, many students already hit a brick wall when it comes to dressing up for school. But there is no such thing as “dressing up” when you live in one of the most laidback places in the world, not to mention diverse, both socially and culturally.

01.

KEN REYES Senior Staff Writer

There is no need to strut like the next top model on your way to chemistry lab but the rolledout-of-bed look isn’t such a pleasant sight either. Not all college students brand the so-called “hipster” or “swag” look. So here are a few tips on how to dress for class with some class:

Never underestimate the functionality of jeans.

Own a pair of slippers.

Jeans are arguably the most versatile piece of clothing a student can own, and a pair is never really enough. When you don’t know what to wear, toss on a pair of dark-washed denims and a comfortable tee. You’ll blend right in and you’ll never have to worry about looking too ragged or uptight. Essentially, jeans come in many washes (dark, medium, light or colored) and work with most kinds of tops — tees, tank tops, blouses, polo shirts, sweaters and jerseys.

Or as the locals say, “slippahs.” Not thongs or flip-flops or wedges. Though regardless of what you call it, you will need it here. Unlike your mainland counterparts, no one here really cares what your toes look like or how bizarre the shape of your foot is. When it gets hot and you get lazy, nothing comes easier than slipping on a pair of Scott’s and dragging your feet to class. Plus, you don’t have to worry about stinking up your feet, developing calluses on your heels or tying shoelaces over and over again.

Flannels for the chills.

Ladies, summer dresses are always in.

The post-surf look? It’s all good.

Yes, it does get a bit chilly in Hawai‘i. At the very least windy. When it’s too breezy to wear just a tank top and shorts outside, putting on a plaid or flannel shirt does the trick. It’s not as thick as a jacket and it isn’t as formal as a blazer either. In fact, it can even be a substitute for a dress shirt during class presentations. Flannel shirts come in a wide variety of colors and patterns as well, so you wouldn’t have to worry about wearing the same shirt as the guy sitting next to you in class.

The sunny look never goes out of style when you live in a tropical place. Florals, pastels and bright colors don’t change with the seasons. Not to mention, dresses are always cute. Always. When lazy days roll by, it’s much easier to pull out a dress and a pair of slippers than layers upon layers of clothing. And when it gets cold, pair it with a cardigan or a button-up jacket and you’ll still be a winner.

Trust me, no one’s going to eye you out if you end up coming to class with salty hair, sandy feet and board shorts with a hint of sunscreen on your face. In fact, consider yourself lucky for having time for a surf sesh before class. And since you live in one of the world’s surfing capitals, take advantage of your freedom to dress like a kook. Just as long as you aren’t one in the ocean.

Where to buy: Billabong (Waikīkī), Macy’s (Ala Moana Shopping Center), Forever 21 (Waikīkī, Ala Moana Shopping Center) or vintage clothing shops

Where to buy: Local Motion (Ala Moana Shopping Center), Quiksilver (Waikīkī) and T&C Surf (Ala Moana Shopping Center)

Where to buy: Hollister, Gilly Hicks and Macy’s (Ala Moana Shopping Center)

Always remember that confidence always transcends style and at the end of the day, it’s about what you want to wear and how you wear it.

THE MEAL PLAN

BREAK DOWN BRAD DELL Features Editor The meal plan system can be confusing to some, due to the variety of options available. Balance the pros and cons of each before deciding which to purchase. Remember that choosing one is mandatory for dorming. Each meal swipe is worth either an entry to Hale Aloha or Gateway Cafeteria, or $5 when used to purchase food from vendors that accept Dining Dollars as well. Dining Dollars may be used at various locations around the campus, and may be replenished if you run out. Meal swipes expire at the end of the week, but Dining Dollars are usable until the end of the year. Download the “eAccounts” application to check how many Dining Dollars you have left.

or desire for other options. Also this has the least amount of Dining Dollars, so less snacks. Best for: Out-of-state students or those with no money for eating out. CHOICE Amount: 14 meal swipes, $175 Dining Dollars Cost: $2,057 Pros: Two meals a day, every day. Also, more money for snacks. Cons: It’s called “choice.” So choose. Skip breakfast or lunch? Best for: Those who tend to skip breakfast or lunch because of classes.

Additional information may be found at manoa.hawaii.edu/ housing/dining/mealplans.

SELECT Amount: 10 meal swipes, $225 Dining Dollars Cost: $1,794 Pros: A good balance for those who eat both off and on campus. Cons: Difficult to manage if staying on campus on weekends. Best for: Those who only stay in dorms on weekdays.

PRIME Amount: 19 meal swipes, $100 in Dining Dollars Cost: $2,374 Pros: Great for those who don’t cook or eat out. Three meals a weekday, and brunch and dinner on the weekend. Cons: Many of the swipes go to waste because of time restraints

BASIC Amount: 7 meal swipes, $250 Dining Dollars Cost: $1,524 Pros: Great way to stock up on snacks or force yourself to cook. Cons: Those who have this plan while dorming are often starving. Best for: Heavy snackers and commuters.

APARTMENT CLUB Amount: 50 meal swipes (whole semester), $75 Dining Dollars Cost: $649 Pros: Good for those who are not on campus every day or cook. Cons: Not many points for the expensive Market. Difficult to budget. Best for: Off-campus apartment students. DINING DOLLARS Amount: Any amount. Cost: $1 equals 1 Dining Dollar; after $100, ten percent bonus points are added. Pros: Can be used at various places besides the cafeterias. May be replenished online. Cons: Not every location takes Dining Dollars. (Paradise Palms, the bookstore and Subway do not.) Best for: Those who want a variety of food and snacks. RESIDENT DINING CLUB Amount: One free meal at Gateway or Hale Aloha. Cost: Must purchase five meals in cash first. Must have card (issued at first purchase). Pros: Thanks to varying prices of meals, save money by buying five breakfasts, then getting a free dinner. Cons: Five meals costs a lot. Don’t do this just for the deal. Best for: Regular visitors to campus.

Favorite place to go have fun: I’m far from being a softball player but hitting at the Batters Box Hawaiʻi batting cages in Kapolei is a fun and relatively inexpensive activity! In general, I enjoy activities that get me out of ‘town’ and explore other niches of the island of Oʻahu.

Any secrets that you’d like to share about the UH Mānoa campus?: There’s a tree on campus named after Martin Luther King Jr. near the Art Building.

Favorite college moment so far: Looking out at a sea of green (gowns and caps) and relishing every moment at the UHM Spring 2013 Commencement while sitting next to my closest friends.

What do you like most about UH Mānoa?: I love the diversity of people that you meet on campus. Everyone comes from a different background and has their own story to share as to why they’re here and what they plan on doing while at UH Mānoa and for their future. I also like the sense of community and closeness with the people you meet, too. It’s almost as though everyone is connected in some way. You don’t really see that anywhere else.

Substitute the sherbet for freshly blended bananas. Add whey protein, and the immunity boosts. Top off with Greek yogurt, and extra ice. Once you pay, politely ask if they could pour everything into the large cup. If you could vacation anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?: Norway because I have friends there, I want to learn how to ski and snowboard, and I would like to visit a place relatively opposite of Hawaiʻi. Words of wisdom for incoming students: Seriously, study ﬁrst, don’t procrastinate, meet and talk to anyone when you feel up to the endeavor and when the time is appropriate, and sincerely make an effort to commit to at least two UHM programs.

INTRAMURALS: for the athlete in all of us

ANTOINETTE RANIT / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

NICK HUTH Sports Editor

It’s happened to everyone. The thrill of competition that appeals to one of the most instinctual parts of humanity has been felt by all students at some point. They could have been players when they were younger, a lifetime fan or they could have played an intense game of checkers. That competitive spirit lives in everyone, and to express that spirit in intramurals can be a healthy, fun and a social opportunity. During each semester, four team sports are available for students to test their wits, athleticism and competitiveness. In the fall, stu-

dents can choose from flag football, basketball, indoor soccer and volleyball. In the spring, students can set up teams to play soccer and softball along with coed basketball and volleyball. Most of the sports offer multiple leagues to allow for the most competitive balance possible. Basketball in the fall hosts three brackets: one for those who are 5’10 and under, one for those above that height and another for women. The same can be said for volleyball, which offers a bracket for men, women. Brackets in many intramural activities are also divided by the days, allowing students with different schedules to find a time that works for them.

The soccer competition allows players to play on Mondays and Wednesdays, or Tuesdays and Thursdays for example. Another concern among students may be a lack of an organized team of friends to play with. It’s often difficult to talk classmates into playing a sport at the same time every week. To make this awkward situation easier, the UH intramurals allow for an organized free agency system find the right team at the playtime and league that fits them. Teams and leagues are organized through a third party website (imleagues.com) that specializes in intramurals across the country. When registered,

students can find leagues to play in, talk to captains, join teams and check game schedules through a simple interface. Free agency and a simple online platform, along with the differences in leagues and time brackets make for a customizable experience for students that want to play. But for students that have never thought of playing intramurals, it gives them an easy entrance to an activity that may seem daunting. Intramurals can appeal to any student in any stage of physical prowess. As an example, a student once had a frustrating experience in intramural basketball. As an ex-captain on his high school

team, the desire to win overcame his sense of fun and camaraderie in a frustrating intramural season. But the often casual nature of intramurals gave him a second chance to rediscover the best part of athletics. Soccer, a sport that he had never played before, was often too daunting to jump into as a young adult. But the lack of excuses forced him to face his fear and join a team of relative strangers. Intramurals allowed that student to find a new passion in soccer, and new friends to share it with in a sport that he never thought was for him. That student was me. I’ll see you on the field.

Drinking Dos & Don’ts PAIGE TAKEYA Senior Staff Writer Partying and the college experience are synonymous in pop culture. And it may be true, to a certain degree – but it doesn’t have to be. Use this guide to make good choices as you begin your undergraduate career. DON’T DRINK IF YOU’RE UNDERAGE If you’re reading this, you’re probably a freshman, and if you’re a freshman, you’re probably still under 21. Hawai‘i state law prohibits minors from possessing or consuming any kind of alcoholic beverage in public. The University of Hawai‘i is a public institution; therefore, it is illegal (and against the student conduct code) to drink on campus. It is not, technically, illegal to drink in a private residence. DO PREPARE BEFOREHAND (AND AFTERWARDS) Should you decide to drink, do it responsibly. Eat and hydrate before you begin imbibing. Carbheavy foods (like bread and pasta) will serve as an alcohol buffer to keep you from getting tipsy too soon. Take your vitamins, chug some water – do not start drinking on an empty stomach. And after you get home, drink some more water before you go to bed. Kill the hangover before it starts.

DON’T MIX DRINKS It may seem like you can handle throwing back two shots, one martini and four beers, but the damage will be a lot worse than if you had just nursed a sixpack all night. Different alcohol levels and additives will do crazy things to your body if you try ingesting them all in one jag. If you’re going to drink, pick your poison and stick to it. DO KNOW YOUR LIMITS If four beers start making you dizzy, then stop. Don’t let anyone persuade you into taking just one more shot or drinking one more glass. You know your body better than anyone else. A blackout – or worse, alcohol poisoning – is no joke. Better to lose a little pride than to wake up in the hospital the next morning. DON’T DRIVE DRUNK Always have a designated driver. It doesn’t matter if you think you’re fine. It doesn’t matter if you can still walk a straight line. You don’t want a DUI, and more importantly, you don’t want to kill someone. If you have to be the designated driver, then suck it up and do it. There will be other parties.

UH FALL SPORTS PREVIEW

NICK HUTH Sports Editor

Most of the fall sports last season gave fans something to cheer about with a .600 combined winning percentage, indicating a more successful semester than in 2012. This upcoming fall, the combination of incoming recruits and returning upperclassmen gives these teams a chance at improving on that winning percentage. Each team has its own things to be excited about, so here are the squads that will be vying for glory this fall and why they may be worth watching.

WOMEN’S SOCCER MEN’S BASKETBALL The Warriors are coming off their first 20-win season in a decade, and with a promising group of recruits and transfers they might improve that number this season. An unfortunate first round exit from the Big West tournament will hope to be avenged by returning allconference starter Isaac Fotu and his supporting cast that includes top junior college recruit Roderick Bobbit and now eligible transfer Negus Webster-Chan.

The Wahine are coming off an 8-8 season that had their top player, Tiana Fujimoto, become the fourth UH player to be named to the NSCAA All-Region team. Fujimoto’s senior season looks to be more promising, as she is joined by four other Wahine that earned All-Big West honors at the end of last season. Five incoming freshmen will be hoping to earn roles on the squad. One of those freshman, Kiani Halushka, was named Hawai’i Girls Soccer Player of the Year last season at Kamehameha by scoring 19 goals on her way to a state title.

FILE PHOTOS / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL The return of Hall of Fame coach Dave Shoji has the women’s volleyball team looking to improve on its 25-5 record in its 2014 campaign. The Wahine fell to BYU in the second round of the NCAA tournament last season. The team also lost star outside hitter Emily Hartong, but this year’s roster still packs a punch. Shoji will lead a squad comprised of 11 returning players against the likes of Oregon and UCLA next season in his 40th year as head coach.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL A postseason injury to senior forward Kamilah Jackson kept the Rainbow Wahine (17-14) back as they fell in the semifinal of the Big West tournament last season. Despite losing their star player to graduation, the Wahine hope to return to postseason glory with a team that returns eight players, including Ashleigh Karaitiana, who averaged 10.4 points per game last season.

FOOTBALL The much maligned football team has plenty of room to improve on its 1-11 record last season. The Warriors have 17 returning starter, seven of whom were named to a preseason all-conference team. Norm Chow will attempt to prove doubters wrong in his third season as head coach with 48 letterwinners from last season, but a battle for the starting quarterback position is still underway to see who will lead the Warriors’ offense.

Getting involved in UH athletics N ICK H UTH Sports Editor

Sporting events at the University of Hawai‘i have become a fun and cheap form of entertainment for students during the school year. The significance of your student ID has been increased with the ability to get into any UH home game for free by showing it upon entrance. Students are able to sit in designated sections for all basketball, baseball, volleyball and football games. In addition to the designated seating at larger sporting events on campus, students can receive free bus rides to the football games that are played at Aloha Stadium. The relationship between college athletes and the students that support them is symbiotic and an important part of a successful program. The athletic department has made it easy for students to contribute to that relationship throughout the spring and fall semesters. Aaron Valdes, a rising sophomore basketball player at UH, was surprised and excited when he played his first home game in Hawai‘i, as many athletes are. “There’s nothing like it,” Valdes said. “Being that only team in town, you’re playing for the entire island.” If students feel like rooting for UH sports as a hobby, then they can join the Mānoa Maniacs. As the school’s official body of supporters, the Maniacs make it easy for

students to stay informed and excited about sporting events on campus. The committee decides how to use a small part of the student athletic fee and how to make it easier for students to support the athletic department by increasing attendance. The Mānoa Maniacs also have a rewards program that allows members to accumulate points when they attend Hawai‘i sporting events or engage with the games on social media. The points earned can be used toward rewards and raffle contests to earn larger prizes. Outside of the free tickets and rewards program, going to the event itself can be a great way to spend time with friend. The food prices are modest, and the sponsored giveaways bring exciting possibilities to the most average of games. Theme nights will be reinstated in the menʻs basketball games this year to bring more fun to the stands. Star Wars, superheroes and aloha shirt nights are few of the themes that will bring silly flair to the student section for basketball home games. The atmosphere at the Stan Sheriff Center for basketball and volleyball games are among the best in the team’s respective conferences. As the only team in town, the University of Hawai‘i embraces its fans to create an engaging atmosphere that is fun to be a part of. Visit Mānoa Maniacs at: Facebook.com/ManoaManiacs

KNOW WHAT YOU NEED Student Housing Services has created a list of essential dormitory items that they suggest students bring, as well as a list of items/services that are provided by the university. Remember that certain items are not allowed in the dorms, including air conditioning units and certain pets.

INSPECT YOUR ROOM Upon move-in you will receive a form from Student Housing Services where you will have the opportunity to write down any damages or concerns you see in your room. If these damages are not reported at the beginning of the year, you could be assessed a fee later for them. Common problems include chips in the walls or furniture and tears in furniture or window screens.

9:00 7:00

TIMING IS EVERYTHING Based on what dorm you are moving into and your last name, Student Housing Services has created a scheduled time for your move-in; however, the students who are facilitating the movein are extremely flexible and are willing to help you at any time of the day. Being prompt is important — but being early is even better. Be the first to the check-in station because the move-in is certainly an all-day task.

CONSIDER THE WEATHER All of the dormitories except for Frear Hall are not air-conditioned, so dress accordingly. Since the elevators will be packed with families trying to move heavy items, it is easy to get overheated traveling up and down the stairs in the late Hawaiian summer.

EXPECT TO BE EMOTIONAL It may not hit you until the moment you finally settle in, but be prepared for movein to be high-stress, emotional and chaotic. This is the first time that you will be living away from your loved ones, so it can be challenging for both you and your family.

SUPPLIES & INGREDIENTS : A box of Caesar salad Tortillas Frying pan 2 tbsp. olive oil

INSTRUCTIONS : 1. Remove skin and seed from the avocados and place the innards into a bowl. 2. Pour half of the jar of salsa into the bowl. 3. Crush the bag of Doritos with hands until chips are fine pieces, then place into the bowl. 4. Combine all ingredients with a spoon until the texture is thick. 5. Serve with tortilla chips.

KOKUA program in need of note-takers NOELLE FUJII News Editor

ANTOINETTE RANIT / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

PEGGY LIANG / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

The campus office that serves students with disabilities is once again in need of note-takers. According to Lanning Lee, one of the KOKUA office’s counselors, the office currently has more than 200 requests for note-takers for this fall semester. He expects that number to jump to more than 300 by the time school starts. “KOKUA is always in need of notetakers,” he said, adding that the campus has a large number of students who are unable to take their own notes, whether it’s for one class or for all of them. Some classes will also have multiple note-taking requests. Last fall, there were 335 requests for note-takers while only 90 were fulfilled. Last spring, there were 309 requests with 97 fulfilled. Note-takers are employed by the KOKUA office. According to Lanning, note-takers are not to participate in the classes they take notes for, unless they

are already enrolled in the class. They do not typically meet the students they take notes for as notes are distributed via email. “The responsibilities are straight-forward: take comprehensive notes and submit them to the KOKUA office once the class session is finished,” note-taker Samira Fatemi said. “We never disclose student names, we do not share notes with individuals who are not the intended recipient, along with other confidentiality procedures.” The KOKUA office also stresses the importance of confidentiality among the note-takers and students. Fatemi, who takes notes for two to four classes a semester, thinks its rewarding to “have a job that helps create more equal access to tertiary education by providing the much-needed service of note-taking.” Note-taker and front-desk receptionist Vivian Liang agrees, saying it’s very worthwhile.

“I’ve had students come up to me after class to thank me for taking notes,” she said. But the most challenging aspect is to remember that being a note-taker is a job that comes with responsibilities and deadlines. Students employed as note-takers are encouraged to take notes for at least two classes, Lanning said. If there are not enough note-takers, the office scrambles, Lanning said, and will pull staff from other assignments to cover the vacant slots. Fatemi thinks the fact that KOKUA has to fill hundreds of note-taking position shows that the office is accessible, and “that students know where to go to receive the services they need to accommodate a disability.” The KOKUA (Kahi O Ka Ulu ʻAna – “The Place of Growing”) office promotes equal opportunity for students with disabilities by providing appropriate academic access, such as taking notes.

CAMPUS SAFETY GUIDE

A LETTER FROM THE SECURITY CHIEF:

ALDEB ALAYVILLA Web Editor

TRAVIS TENUI / UH MĀNOA CAMPUS SECURITY

FILE PHOTO / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

CAMPUS SAFETY TIPS Safety is a major concern on campus. It’s important for you to be cognizant of ways to protect yourself if you want to have a productive school year. These are some tips from Campus Security on how to stay safe on campus. If you need any assistance or witness an emergency, call Campus Security. Campus Security patrols 24 hours a day, seven days a week and is only a phone call away. They may be reached at 808-9566911. If you are on campus and do not have a phone, there are 68 call boxes scattered throughout the campus at your disposal.

SECURITY ESCORT SERVICE If you are uncomfortable walking alone at night, a campus escort service may be summoned to your location. You’ll be accompanied by a Campus Security official or campus employee to your suggested destination and will be transported by vehicle or by foot. There is a catch, however, as it is not a taxi service. Service excludes transportation to places such as restaurants, places of employment, bars, etc. If you are intoxicated or wish to be escorted with a large group, you’re out of luck. Remember, this service is for safety purposes only and is for individuals who are uncomfortable walking alone at night. The campus escort service can be reached at 808-956-7233.

PROTECTING YOURSELF AND YOUR PROPERTY Experiencing new things and meeting new people is part of the college experience. It is, however, important to protect yourself and your property at all times. If you live on campus, lock your doors and windows at night and when you’re out and about. Never leave your valuables unattended. Have them secured at all times. Avoiding negligence goes a long, long way. Here are some other tips: • Always secure your vehicles and never park your vehicle, bike or moped in the same place. • For bike owners, it is crucial to have your bikes registered and secured with a U-lock and cable combination; secure your frame, wheels and handlebars to avoid theft. • Moped owners should utilize a chain on tires. • Anything suspicious or unusual should be reported to Campus Security as soon as possible. • If you’re at a bar or restaurant, only accept drinks from the bartender or person who took your order. • Always update your antivirus software and never post sensitive information on social networks.

On behalf of Campus Security and Emergency Management, welcome to the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. We are firmly committed to providing a safe, secure campus environment, and our policies and procedures are designed to provide precautionary measures to protect people and property. Campus Security consists of 51 department personnel: a chief, two captains, seven sergeants, 37 patrol officers and four administrative staff. The department selects every recruit carefully: Each must pass an extensive screening and background check conducted by the State of Hawai‘i Attorney General’s Office, and undergoes considerable field training. UH Mānoa community members are encouraged to notify us at 956-6911 of any incident on campus that involves an emergency or dangerous situation. Please also let us know about suspicious individuals or happenings. In addition, each member of the UH Mānoa community is urged to use good judgment and take appropriate precautions to reduce the possibility of becoming the victim of a crime on campus. For more information on Campus Security and Emergency Management, see our home page at hawaii.edu/security/. On that website, you can learn about our services and topics such as reporting crimes, our security escort service, emergency call boxes, how to prevent bike thefts, and emergency preparedness. We also run current campus/community safety notices that are distributed via UH Alert emails and texts. We urge you to sign up for this service at hawaii.edu/alert/. Have a safe and happy school year. Chief Charles Noffsinger

Is the Honors program right for you? LAUREN TRANGMAR KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

The Honors Program study lounge and advising center are in Sinclair Library. FILE PHOTO KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

ALEX BITTER Editor-In-Chief Like any public flagship university, Mānoa makes more challenging, engaging curricula available to determined students through an Honors program. While AP and Honors courses may have been a given in high school, that doesn’t mean UH’s honors program is automatically the right choice as a college student. There are benefits to joining the program, from early registration each semester to smallerthan-average classes to specialized advising, and figuring out whether the program fits your needs and interests is important. SELECTING YOUR PATH WITH SELECTED STUDIES If you choose to join Mānoa’s Honors program as a freshman, you’ll be assigned a “Selected Studies” status for two years. Over this time period, students have to take two types of courses: designated Honors courses, which are developed from scratch by faculty in various departments working in conjunction with the Honors program, and so-called “A-list” courses, which are more

rigorous forms of entry level courses in various subjects. According to Honors guidelines, Selected Studies students must take two of each type of course to receive their sophomore Honors certificate and progress to the upper division program. In addition to filling that requirement, certain Selected Studies courses are applicable to general education requirements that all UH undergraduates must fulfill. For example, taking Astronomy 110A could count for both an A-list requirement in the honors program and a physical science requirement under the diversification category. UPPER DIVISION Moving on to the Upper Division section of the Honors program is what gets the “Honors” designation on your degree when you graduate. It’s also an option that varies in attractiveness depending on what you’re studying. While any student of any major can continue as an Upper Division Honors student, certain departments and programs have more infrastructure for Honors students than others. Some departments, such as History

and Economics, have set course tracks that provide major-specific support for Honors students conducting independent research. At the same time, it’s possible to pursue the Honors degree outside of these majors by finding a dedicated faculty adviser and organizing a project in your field of interest. Consult an Honors adviser for more details. In general, the Upper Division Honors track includes at least two seminar courses – each three credits – which prepare students for independent work conducted in a six-credit Senior Honors Project class. Some majors with department-specific tracks also add other requirements or courses. While the Selected Studies program offers entry level courses across a variety of subject areas and that fulfill other requirements, the focus on the senior project in the last two years requires designing a project with both a major adviser and the Honors program. Whether you’re interested in completing such a project – and driven enough to work out the details if your major doesn’t have a set Honors track – will determine whether the Honors program is ultimately worth it for you.

From dance to Shakespeare: a preview of this year’s Kennedy Theatre lineup BEN SAUNDERS Staff Writer Though Kennedy Theatre has mostly closed its doors for the summer, rehearsals continue as faculty and students begin working on the next season’s lineup of shows. The University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Theatre and Dance Department, riding on the heels of its immense 50th anniversary season, aims to offer an eclectic mix of shows with something for theatergoers of all ages and backgrounds.

ANTOINETTE RANIT / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

THE MAIN ATTRACTIONS At the heart of next year’s shows are the mainstage performances in the main auditorium of Kennedy Theatre. These shows are usually higher-budget, are at least partially designed and run by faculty, and showcase the best that Kennedy Theatre has to offer. Building off of the successful ghost stories of last year’s Lab production of “very still and hard to see”, Kennedy’s first mainstage show is Noel Coward’s “Blithe Spirit,” directed here by department chair Paul Mitri. Focusing on a love triangle in which only two of the lovers are alive, the show is intended for older audiences. Compare that to the second mainstage show, “The BFG,” which goes up in November. Directed by “Gappers’” Mark Branner, “BFG” is based on the famous Roald Dahl novel and is appropriate for all ages. In the spring, viewers can look forward to “Lā‘ieikawai,” a Hawaiian play adapted and directed by Kumu Tammy Baker. A spring dance concert ties the lineup together.

PRIME TIME In addition to its main shows, Kennedy showcases a number of low-budget, experimental shows in the Earle Ernst Lab Theatre next door. These alternate between prime-time shows and later, “late-night” productions which are mostly student-driven. Next year, the Lab opens with “Ruined,” a play dealing with love and social pressures in the war-torn Democratic Republic of the Congo. Then, a traditional “Footholds” dance concert brings together the theater and dance sections of the department for a joint performance in late October and the beginning of November. Yilong Liu will be directing his own play, “Las Fungus!,” which deals with identity and sexuality, in December. Another “Footholds” show will be

performed in the spring, and the year in the Lab will close with Kim Shire’s youth adaptation of Shakespeare’s classic “Taming of the Shrew.” As with the mainstage, the Lab offers a variety of material from family-friendly comedies to powerful tragedies, in an effort to offer something for everyone. This is essentially what the UH Mānoa Theatre and Dance department is all about: giving students a chance to work with faculty and develop their skills while providing quality theater. Rarely can a preview do justice for an entire season. Attending a play or two is one of the best ways to see firsthand what Kennedy Theatre has to show in its 2014-2015 season.

UNIVERSITY HEALTH SERVICES: what to do when you get injured or sick

UNIVERSITY HEALTH SERVICES HOURS OF OPERATION: Mon - Fri: 8:30 a.m. - 12 p.m. and 12:30 p.m. - 4 p.m. Wed: 1:30 p.m. - 4 p.m. Phone: 808-956-8965 Pharmacy: 808-956-3576 Specialty clinics: 808-956-6221 MEAKALIA PREVICH-LIU Staff Writer

With the beginning of a new school year, students are exposed to new classes, people and surroundings – and new germs. In case you happen to catch a virus or are faced with an injury, the University Health Services (UHS) is only a walk away right on campus. Make sure you know your options and what to do if you run into an urgent health predicament by simply being aware of the services available to you.

SERVICES OFFERED UHS provides a wide array of medical and special services to support students, faculty and staff at UH Mānoa. The general medical

PEGGY LIANG / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

clinic is open to walk-in and scheduled appointments during normal hours Monday through Friday and offers services such as urgent care, immunizations and help for sprains. The women’s health clinic makes available special services like annual exams, pap tests and STI/STD testing and treatment. Women’s health services, along with sports medicine, psychiatry, nutrition, travel medicine and dermatology are only available by appointment. Treatment and medicine for minor illnesses like the common cold or even counseling on the use of medication prescriptions are given by professional pharmacists at UHS. The pharmacy fills prescriptions and offers over-the-counter medications that can be purchased

at affordable prices, but does not accept drug insurance plans – so you need to pay out-of-pocket unless you go to another pharmacy to pick up medications. If you are caught in a situation where you need medical advice after closing hours, you can call UH Mānoa’s Medical Advice Line at 808956-8965 to speak with a licensed healthcare professional. Setting up an appointment to see a physician or registered nurse can easily be done online at the Patient Access Portal link found on the UHS website. Once there, you have the option to view your medical history at UHS and can schedule an appointment after completing the Patient Rights and Responsibilities and

Health History Forms under the forms tab. Students who come from other UH campuses will be charged $30 if they do not have health insurance upon the first two visits to the clinic. After the two initial visits, the students are charged the same rate as regular UH Mānoa students (prices range from $12-$20 depending on the illness), although a visit to see a psychiatrist will be slightly more ($15-$30). GET INSURANCE Your best bet to avoid paying all of these fees upfront is to have health insurance. Individual coverage can be bought through the Hawai‘i Medical Service Association (HMSA) student health insurance plan if you

are not on a family insurance plan. Students are required to be at least part time, and can then sign up during the open enrollment period every semester. The cost of the plan centers around what you really need in terms of medical care (dental, drug premiums), and are priced at reasonable rates. Check out the HMSA website at hmsa.com/portal/ student/ to find more information about the UH student plan. At the end of the day, you can’t put a price on your health. UHS offers all of these services and resources in order to keep the students of the UH community healthy and striving for success. Don’t let something as small as a cold get worse. Next time you’re feeling below par, stop by UHS for help.

Campus News: summer 2014

FADI YOUKHANA Managing Editor

Significant developments have occurred so far in the summer. Here is a quick look at the most significant campus news:

LASSNER SELECTED AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I SYSTEM

The title for one-time largest donor was last held by businessman Jay Shidler, who donated $2.5 million in 2006.

David Lassner was appointed the next president of the University of Hawaiʻi System after he beat out former Lt. Gen. Francis Wiercinski. The final 11-2 vote by the Board of Regents indicated a considerable support for Lassner. Eleven votes were given to Lassner compared to two for Lt. Gen. Wiercinski. Two Regents voted to abstain.

The BOR also agreed on a $375,000 annual salary for Lassner in an executive session on June 2 that followed the public discussion and vote. The term was effective as of July 1, 2014. Lassner’s selection came after an 11-month search process, which involved a diverse selection committee.

Aloha Kekahi I Kekahi KAIAMA NAIHE-CHO Contributing Writer

If you’ve just arrived in Hawai‘i, it won’t take you long to experience one of the most important and well used ʻōlelo noʻeau, or Hawaiian proverbs, Aloha Kekahi i Kekahi. Aloha, one of the most well-known Hawaiian words in the world, has an abundance of different meanings. However, one of its most used translations, besides “Hello,” is love. Kekahi i kekahi, simply means “to each other,” or “one another.” This saying is used to describe the relationship between the ʻāina, or land, and people. Throughout history, Hawaiians have showed aloha to the ʻāina in many ways. To love the land means to care for it and to nurture it, so that the land will return the favor to us, providing us with clean resources and food. The reason behind this is that Hawaiians believe that we, the people of this earth, as well as everything else on this planet originates from one common source.

Hawaiians don’t look at the ʻāina as something to walk on, but rather as a person, someone to work together with. They build relationships with all forms of life, big and small, scary and beautiful, because they believe we all come from the same place. Hawaiians believe that it is everyone’s kuleana, or responsibility, to mālama, or take care, of the land. It is believed and taught that if all living things worked together harmoniously, life will move more smoothly and create a better outcome. In modern times, there are still many ways to aloha the ʻāina and ways for new and longtime residents to make a stronger connection to the Hawaiian culture. At UH Mānoa, there are many clubs that specialize in reforestation, beach cleanups, hiking trips and Hawaiian culture. These clubs are one of the many ways a person new to the island can get to familiarize themselves with the culture, landscape and the aloha that many

of the locals here have toward the land and to each other. Students new to UH shouldn’t be afraid or intimidated by the diverse cultures that flourish here in Hawaiʻi. A person new to the island may feel a language barrier when it comes to naming the many different places here. However, there are many resources on and off the UH campus that anyone can use to confront these obstacles. Consider checking out the book “Place Names of Hawaiʻi” by authors Pukui, Elbert and Mookini, available in Hamilton Library. This is a good book for many new residents to use to learn and familiarize themselves with the

meaning of names of the different places around the island of O‘ahu, as well as other areas throughout the island chain. However, the simplest way for a person to make a connection to Hawaiʻi is to experience all that Hawaiʻi has to offer. On nice sunny days, go to the beach or hike with friends. Swim with the fishes and enjoy the soft sand and warmth of the sun, or enjoy the beautiful sight of the

valleys and hills and the smell and weather of mauka, or the uplands. Always mālama, or take care, of the land by picking up any ʻōpala, or trash, that someone might have left behind. Always try to leave an area in better condition than it was when you arrived. Most of all, be thankful for being able to live in one of the most beautiful places in the world, and donʻt be ashamed to fully embrace the cultural values of Hawaiʻi.

Helpful local slang

Contrary to popular belief, more people say “howzit” than “aloha” as a greeting. “People say ‘howzit’ to say ‘How are you?’ or ‘What are you up to?’ A lot of people say it randomly so don’t be shocked when locals do,” junior Kaylena Torres said.

LIKE SAMPLE?

HOWZIT, MY BADDAH?

KEN REYES Senior Staff Writer “Howzit, cuz? Whatchu like do today? I’m down fo’ some ono grindz after da kine surf sesh at Kewalo’s!” If you just scratched your head in utter confusion, don’t worry because you’re not alone. Chances are, you’re just new to the island and the local slang is just a taste of what the Hawai‘i experience is all about. BACKGROUND This colorful slang, known as Hawaiian Creole English or simply “pidgin,” has its roots in to the sugar plantation days, when locals and non-English speaking immigrants attempted to communicate with one another while working. Thus, pidgin has a Filipino-JapaneseChinese-Portuguese flair to it, among many other things. According to linguists, although Hawaiian Pidgin was never considered an official language, it was picked up and spoken enough by people to be considered a creole language. This is probably why every other local you come across speaks Pidgin more than plain English. DA SLANG Before you attempt to imitate that uncle right in front of you, here are a few local slangs that will help you gain a few “cherreh” (good) buddies and also avoid getting into “scraps li’dat” (fights like that).

FALSE CRACK If you’re one to get involved in a lot of fights, watch out for “false crack,” which means a blow to the face, usually unexpected. Another way of saying this is “dirty lickens.” “Honestly, even if it’s laughable, I would say the most important slang you should know is ‘false crack,’” junior Susan Yi said. “Any other slang, itʻs kind of easy to discern what it is, but false crack is a term not many non-Hawai’i locals know. “And if you know what it is, and you hear that word being against or around you, you will know what to expect.”

DA KINE

There is no English equivalent to this word, really. Unless “the thing” comes even remotely close to explaining what “da kine” means. It is used to describe people, places and things, or replace the actual word. According to sophomore Noah Fong, “It’s like the local blanket word to describe anything and everything.” Da kine spot right ovah dea. Da shrimp plate I had was so da kine. You saw da kine at da kine beach yestahday, yah? “The word is unavoidable in the islands,” Fong added. “If you can understand a sentence with ‘da kine’ being used more than three times, you got it down.”

It’s basically a way of saying, “Do you want to try some of my ______?” which is usually food. Some locals say “samps,” too. “It took me a while to figure out what it meant,” junior Nathaniel Tom said. “And it sounds really weird when I first heard but now, it’s important to know to clear up any confusion.”

ONO GRINDZ

For all you foodies out there, “ono grindz” is a phrase that describes good food. Shrimp plates, poke bowls, kalua pig and chicken katsu: Any kine local-style plate lunch deserves the recognition. And a day at the beach is really not without “ono grindz” and a couple of friends to chow down with. “‘Ono grindz’ is a place for good food at a reasonable price and huge portions,” UH Mānoa alumnus Keone Villaplaza said. “Like I would think of the donburi at Kuru Kuru as ‘ono grindz.’ But I think some would expect the whole mac salad thing as well. It’s a matter of opinion, but there’s always a meat element involved.”

Chinese New Year, also known as Lunar New Year or Spring Festival in China, was on January 31st this year. Celebrations, however, already began as early as a week before in Honolulu’s Chinatown. From amazing street food to charms and lion dances for good fortune, the cultural festivities are a sight to see.

Best beaches on O‘ahu NOELLE FUJII News Editor While Oʻahu has dozens of beaches to explore, some of them are better than others. Get the 411 on what beaches are best for relaxing days and what beaches are better for adventuring.

Location: 49-479 Kamehameha Hwy., Kane‘ohe Amenities: Bathrooms, showers, lifeguard, campgrounds, parking lots Pros: Located on the northeastern shore in Kaneʻohe, Kualoa, otherwise known as “Chinaman’s Hat,” is the perfect beach to relax with your family or friends. The water is calm and fronts a small island offshore called “Chinamanʻs Hat.” The island is close enough for one to reach by kayak, stand-up paddleboard or, when itʻs low tide, walking. Many even hike around the island. The beach is also surrounded by a mountain range, making it a good place to take pictures. It’s also rarely crowded – another bonus. Cons: Because the water is so calm, after it rains it will sometimes turn brown. Be sure to check water conditions before heading out. Once you get in the water, the sand is covered with small rocks and seaweed.

PAT ROBINS / FLICKR

KAIONA BEACH PARK Location: 41575 Kalaniana‘ole Hwy., Waimanalo Amenities: Bathrooms, showers, picnic area, playground, parking lot Pros: Nestled between the popular Makapuʻu and Waimanalo beaches, Kaiona is very laid back and is mainly filled with local families enjoying a barbecue on the beach. Many often bring kayaks and paddle out around the shoreline. There’s even an old fish pond where the water is calm enough to snorkel and is great for kids. Cons: The parking lot fills up fast, especially on the weekends, so you may have to revert to street parking. DANIEL RAMIREZ / FLICKR

KALAMA BEACH Location: 248 N. Kalaheo Ave., Kailua Amenities: Parking lot, showers, bathrooms Pros: Down the beach from the popular Kailua Beach Park, Kalama is often less crowded and has more space to lay out on the sand. The waves are pretty calm and people can surf farther out in the water. Cons: Parking can be a hassle when the parking lot is full. Be careful where you park on the street to be sure you’re not blocking someone’s driveway. DIAMOND HEAD BEACH PARK Location: 3451 Diamond Head Rd., Honolulu Amenities: Parking lot, showers Pros: Situated behind Diamond Head, this beach is a popular surf spot. It also has a reef and calm enough waters to snorkel in closer to shore. This beach, located on the island’s south shore, also gets lots of sun, making it a great spot to work on your tan. Cons: The water can be shallow in some areas and isn’t great for swimming near the reefs. Shade is very scarce so be sure to put on lots of sunscreen. HAWAIIAN BEACH / FLICKR

National and international news recap for the summer FADI YOUKHANA Managing Editor

In the past two months, the world has witnessed major events that have affected millions of people. Here are some of the key national and global events in the months of May and June.

MAYA ANGELOU PASSES AWAY Maya Angelou, best known for her book “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings,” passed away on May 28 at her home in Winston-Salem, Massachusetts. Ms. Angelou was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor, in 2011. Her book is widely considered to be among the first and most successful autobiographies by a 20th-centry black woman. Ms. Angelou suffered from heart problems. The University of Hawai‘i honored the author, actress, professor and Grammy award winner with a Board of Regents Medal of Distinction. Ms. Angelou’s writing explored the effects of racism and sexism on an individual identity.

POLIO SPREADING IN CONFLICT ZONES According to the World Health Organization (WHO), polio has spread through Pakistan, Syria and Cameroon. An international health emergency was declared on May 5 by the WHO in order to raise awareness efforts to contain the virus. An emergency committee, assembled by the WHO, urged the three countries to step up their measures to combat the virus, including making sure that all children are treated. Citizens of those countries who travel should get vaccinat-

ed, as well as carry an internationally recognized certificate for proof. Officials previously believed that the polio virus had been nearly eliminated two years ago. However, consequences of conflicts and the interruption of vaccination efforts have lead to the spread of the virus. 2014 WORLD CUP IN BRAZIL The 2014 World Cup opened its games on June 12 in São Paulo, Brazil. The competition ran for 32 days with 32 nations that competed for a spot in the final on July 13. Before the kickoff, an opening

ceremony took place which included a tribute to nature, people and soccer. Experts believe that demonstrations will continue and intensify during the tournament. More than one million people have taken the streets to protest against spending for the World Cup by the Brazilian government. The United States squad opened its tournament with a key win against Ghana on June 16. The United States then proceeded to qualify out of the “death group” after tying Portugal and losing to Germany. In

the knockout round, the Americans battled Belgium late into the extra periods. However, young and talented Belgium was able to win and end the American adventure in the 2014 World Cup. ISIS/ISIL/IS OFFENSIVE IN IRAQ The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, also known as the Islamic State or the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, captured several cities in Northern Iraq in its offensive push against the Iraqi government. The Sunni militants took over Mosul, Iraq’s second largest city, on June 9 after government forces fled their posts. In addition to Mosul, the militants have also captured parts of Tikrit, Fallujah and Iraq’s largest oil refinery in Baiji. The militants’ offensive in Iraq expanded their territories on areas that they control in Syria. Obama’s administration sent 275 advisory troops to Iraq in early June to help the central government in its response to the advances by the Islamic State. President Obama sent an additional 200 American troops on June 30 in order to reinforce security at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad.

CAFÉ MAHARANI

WALK

EAT PAIGE TAKEYA Senior Staff Writer

There may be dozens of on-campus eating options, but humankind always craves variety. If you’re looking for something tasty, cheap and within walking distance, use this guide.

Where: 2509 S. King St. Hours: Mon - Sun 5 p.m.-10 p.m. Contact: 808-951-7447 Lowdown: Here’s the official word from the Ka Leo staff: Get the saffron rice, naan bread and samosas, and you won’t go wrong. Regardless of whether you like chicken, lamb or shrimp, Café Maharani’s savory curries and spicy kabobs come in huge portions and will feed you for days. The price point is higher – most dishes range between $14-$20 – but the food is worth every penny. Pro-tip: Go early because once the clock hits 6 p.m., the place is usually packed until closing time.

BLUE TRUCK TEPPANYAKI

Where: Across from Sinclair Library, on Metcalf and University Hours: Mon - Sun 5 p.m.-8 p.m. Contact: 808-389-6808 Lowdown: Think Tanaka of Tokyo – except in a truck, with fewer knife tricks and at a more affordable price point. Blue Truck’s chicken mini-plate is just $5 for some garlic grilled chicken, rice, corn, zucchini and onions. Steak plates start at $6. It’s not all meat, though: They have seafood, breakfast and an impressive vegetable mix plate, as well. Pro-tip: Order by phone before you take the walk. On average, you’ll wait about 10-15 minutes for your food.

A PLACE TO EAT

Where: 1035 University Ave., Ste. 104 (near Puck’s Alley) Hours: Mon - Sun 11 a.m.-2 p.m.; 5 p.m.-12 a.m. Contact: 808-941-4554 Lowdown: It’s as close as you can get to gourmet plate lunches in Puck’s Alley. A Place to Eat’s late hours make it convenient for those post-volleyball food runs. Its Island Karaage Chicken ($11) is great for those who want leftovers for tomorrow’s lunch, but if you want to be fancy, try its citrus-infused Basil Orange Scampi ($12). Pro-tip: If you dine in, you have to serve yourself water and grab your own napkins, though the waitress is very helpful if you need anything.

IMAGES: Thinkstock; Freepik

CURRY HOUSE COCO ICHIBANYA

Where: 1009 University Ave., Apt. 2 (Puck’s Alley) Hours: Mon - Sat 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Contact: 808-947-2206 Lowdown: It’s cheap, simple and yet completely customizable to your particular food tastes. Curry House lets you select your rice portion size, curry spiciness level and what sides you’d like to be drenched in salty, rich curry. Chicken katsu is always an option, yes, but corn cream croquettes are really where the party’s at. Prices range around $6-$8 per person, on average. Pro-tip: Leave your charge card at home: It’s cash-only.

UPCOMING MOVIE MADNESS

PONO SUGANUMA Contributing Writer

IMAGE COURTEST OF FREEPIK; THE WEINSTEIN COMPANY

THE INTERVIEW Release Date: October 10, 2014 Rating: R Genre: Comedy/Action “The Interview” is a comedy and action film starring Seth Rogen and James Franco. The duo portrays a pair of celebrity journalists, Aaron Rappaport and David Skylark, who land an acclaimed interview with the leader of North Korea Kim JongUn, impersonated by Randall Park. However, when the CIA learns of the journalists’ interview, they recruit them to assassinate Kim Jong-Un. While this film promises endless laughs and excitement, the Korean Central News Agency condemned the film for its blatant attack on their leader. The film is set to premiere in the U.S. in early October.

DUMB AND DUMBER TO Release Date: November 14, 2014 Rating: PG-13 Genre: Comedy

THE GIVER Release Date: August 15, 2014 Genre: Drama, Sci-Fi Based on the popular 1993 American children’s novel by Lois Lowry, “The Giver” follows the life of protagonist Jonas in his utopian society. However, his view on life changes after he is chosen to study under an elderly man, known as the Giver, who shares the community’s dark memories with him. As Jonas begins to realize that his utopian home is morphing into something more dystopian, he must make a life or death decision that will change his world forever. This intricate plot promises a combination of action and romance; with Academy Award winning actors Jeff Bridges and Meryl Streep, and introducing Brenton Thwaites, “The Giver” will give you the satisfaction of a great movie experience.

THE MAZE RUNNER Release Date: September 19, 2014 Rating: PG-13 Genre: Action, Mystery, Sci-Fi Another one of Hollywood’s recent novel to film adaptations is James Dashner’s “The Maze Runner.” The storyline describes the lives of a group of boys trapped in giant stone maze with not even their memories to keep them company. Known as the Gladers, these young men are tasked with the challenge of finding their way out of the maze. Two new arrivals, Thomas and Teresa, change life in the maze as they know it. With elements of sci-fi inventions, a budding relationship and impending doom around every corner, “The Maze Runner” is sure to keep viewers on the edge of their seat and begging for more. Not to mention that the main character Thomas is played by “Teen Wolf’s” Dylan O’Brien and other prevalent characters are portrayed by actors Will Poulter of “We’re the Millers” and Thomas Brodie-Sangster of “Nanny McPhee.”

Classic movie morons Harry Dunne, played by Jeff Daniels, and Lloyd Christmas, played by Jim Carrey, reunite to set off on a new adventure of idiocy. These well-meaning yet dim friends are on a search to find Harry’s long lost daughter while Lloyd falls in love again. With the reunion of these comedy kings, “Dumb and Dumber To” will bring the laughable charm of the first installment back to the big screen.

IF I STAY Release Date: August 22, 2014 Rating: PG-13 Genre: Drama “If I Stay” follows the haunting tale of Mia Hall based on the novel by author Gayle Forman. Played by Chloë Grace Moretz, Mia faces a challenging decision that will determine her fate forever. From the opening credits, Mia seems to have a promising future with the love of her life, Adam, who is played by Jamie Blackley, until she is sent into a coma. In her coma, Mia has a day to decide whether she desires to live a life far different from what she expected or simply fade away. With the drama of life or death on the line, “If I Stay” is sure to keep viewers on an emotional rollercoaster that you won’t want to miss.

INTO THE WOODS Release Date: December 25, 2014 Rating: Not released Genre: Fantasy, Musical Disney has created its first theatrical adaptation of an award-winning Broadway play in director Rob Marshall’s “Into the Woods.” Not all musicals hit the big screen with a lot of success, but something about this movie whispers a happy ever after. The star-studded cast consists of Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, James Corden, Anna Kendrick, Chris Pine, Johnny Depp and many more. Although the plot is simplistic — a childless couple cursed by wicked witch — this movie is expected to be Disney’s newest hit.

Don’t be a blob, get a job!

No matter what you hope to do in life, being employed is probably high on your list of goals. While juggling a full class schedule with a job is challenging, you can reap many benefits from the experience, including sharpening your professional skills, learning to collaborate with others — and, of course, the money. Whether you are looking for work experience or could use the cash, here are some options for finding a job on or near campus.

SECE ‘EM! If you’re after a source of regular income that won’t take you off campus, your best bet is the search function on the Student Employment and Cooperative Education (abbreviated SECE and pronounced “see-key” by many in spite of the rules of English pronunciation) website. SECE’s search function allows job hunters to find specific positions based the type of work, the program or department that offers the job or whether the job is full- or part-time. It also

ALEX BITTER Editor-In-Chief

ILLUSTRATION BY LILIAN CHENG / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

includes listing for positions off campus and on other islands, and all jobs are paid at least minimum wage – with many paid dollars better than Hawaii’s minimum of $7.25. From administrative assistant to lab technician, there are a lot of jobs to pick through. Just be sure to reply to some postings at (or before) the beginning of the semester – the on-campus positions tend to fill up fast. OFF CAMPUS, OFF THE HEEZY While UH doesn’t boast a commercial community just off campus as other large- and mid-sized universities do, businesses near Puck’s Alley (at the intersection of King Street and University Avenue), and in Mānoa Valley, Kamimuki and Mo’ili’ili frequently hire students. Another place to check for work, especially retail jobs, is Waikīkī. Shops and restaurants on and off the main strip regularly hire college students. Don’t be intimidated by the district’s distance from campus: Although parking can be expensive, bus service is frequent to and from campus.

STIPE-ENDLESS FUN Some student-run organizations on campus offer stipend-paid positions below the minimum wage, but with more flexible hours and work environments. Among them are the Associated Students of the University of Hawaiʻi (ASUH), campus radio station KTUH, video production group UH Productions (UHP) and Ka Leo. While these jobs don’t pay as well as other on-campus options, they may be the better choice for those looking for experience in particular fields (i.e., digital media production and UHP). Unlike the jobs found through SECE, the hours you’re expected to be in the office are less rigid. For more information, visit: sece.its.hawaii.edu/
