A brief letter from the Editor in Chief

Welcome new students! I’m sure your par-ents, counselors and valedictorians have all told you by now; college is a world unique to itself. It’s a time of learning, growth and maturation. How-ever, what they may not have told you, but what I’m sure you’re all looking forward to, is the part about how it’s also a time of insane fun and ridicu-lous amounts of freedom. Balancing both sides of college: the learning and growing mumbo jumbo with the fun, free and fabulous stuff, is the key to an amazing, fruitful and super badass college experience, and we’re here to help! In order to have the best possible ex-perience during your fi rst semester here at UH Manoa, Ka Leo O Hawai‘i, the student-run news-paper on campus, presents the fi rst ever New Stu-dent Orientation guide to help you get a jump-start on your college journey. With the help of this super-awesome guide, you’ll learn about how to register, what to buy for your dorm room, where to go if the insane amounts of fun you’re having takes its toll on your academ-ics, and how to get sick notes for skipping class – maybe. Beyond that, this guide will give you all sorts of great ideas on where to eat lunch, how to get involved on campus through athletics, student government and clubs, and where to go for fun, free and healthy activities as well as crazy, night-time shenanigans that are almost entirely legal! Heck, you might like this guide so much you’ll end up using it as a pillow or a best friend! We’d be honored to have published something that might end up as either. We hope this guide helps you make your fi rst semester as a new student at UH Manoa some of the most memorable fi ve months of your life, as well as making your entire UH Manoa ex-perience something to treasure. But if not, we’ll settle for the pillow.

For many freshmen or trans-fer students, registering for classes may prove to be a chal-lenge. Planning out seemingly complicated schedules, trying to fi nd classes, and fi guring out how to navigate MyUH are some diffi culties that may hinder stu-dents’ progress. If you follow a few easy steps, however, you may fi nd registering to be a has-sle-free and even exciting task.

Chart out Potential Courses One of the fi rst duties you may undertake is plotting out the core requirements and how to best fulfi ll them. A list of avail-able classes is available at www.sis.hawaii.edu/uhdad/avail.classes or you can log on to your MyUH account (the username is the same name as on your UH e-mail) and then click “Class Availability on the left sidebar. At the UH class availability website, select the institution you are registering for (UH Mānoa), then select which term (Fall 2010) and fi nally select which subject to view the classes offered. For example, by selecting political science, you will be able to view all the classes offered for the fall, ranging from Intro-duction to Political Science to Interntional Relations. There are symbols to the far left such as DS and WI which indicate some of

the graduation requirements that these classes can fulfi ll. Located next to the requirements each class fulfi lls is the CRN, which is the Course Registration Number. Upon choosing a class, you should always write down the CRN, as you’ll need it to regis-ter via MyUH. The title, number of credits, instructor, and seats available are self-explanatory. Under “Days,” you may ob-serve one that says TR. What this indicates is that the class is on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Final-ly, the room indicates where on campus the class will be located. This is invaluable when you con-sider that at times, you may only have 10 to 15 minutes to get from one building to the next. After you have chosen a number of classes from the class availability list, you may want to plot out your classes using a cal-endar. It will help you be aware of how favorable or unfavorable your schedule looks. Log in to MyUH and click “Review My Class Schedule,” and click See My Weekly Schedule at the bot-tom of the page.

Evaluating Professors Next, you may want to fac-tor in the professor teaching the course when planning out an ac-ademic schedule. A helpful tool is ratemyprofessor.com where you can go to gather opinions re-garding a specifi c professor and their teaching style.

It’s key to remember, howev-er, that the students offering their critique may be heavily biased in favor of or against the professor if they’ve taken the time to write an evaluation on the website. Stu-dents can also ask other people that have already taken a class from the professor in question to get another opinion.

Registering for Classes When the time comes to reg-ister for classes (go to MyUH and “Check Registration Status” to see what date and time you can begin registering), it’s important to make sure that you have a list of the CRNs ready, and that you register as soon as possible. To register for classes, log in to MyUH and click “Add/Drop Courses” located on the left bar of the page. You will then be taken to the “Add Classes Worksheet,” where you can add in your CRNs. Make sure that after add-ing CRNs, the appropriate insti-tution for the classes is selected and that none of the courses have time-slot conflicts. When you have entered in all the CRNs and assigned them to the appropriate institutions, press Submit. If you are involved in Honors, after submission there will be a bar asking for the override code. The Honors pro-gram should have sent the code via e-mail a couple of days to a week before registration.

MyUH is arguably the most important website that you will have to be acquainted with dur-ing their time at University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. MyUH pro-vides you with information such as financial aid, transcripts/grades, and is the site that stu-dents need to log onto to regis-ter for classes. It can be accessed at myuh.hawaii.edu. This article will attempt to explain the most difficult aspects of MyUH.

Getting Started At first, you will see a bar titled Getting Started on the left side of the page. This bar has items such as Check Reg-istration Status, View Grades, View Payment Plan, etc. Navi-gating through this list can provide you with invaluable information. If you have credits trans-ferring to UH through either community college or AP/IB courses, you can view the cred-its via STAR Degree Check/View Transcript After clicking on the link, you’ll be taken to the main STAR page. Click the Transcripts button to access their academic records. Check Registration Status allows you to see how many credits you’ve transferred/earned at UH Mānoa, explains any holds on your record, and tells when you’re allowed to reg-ister. Review My Class Schedule provides a list of all the classes that you’ve registered for. You can also see your schedule in a calendar format if you select the My Weekly Class Schedule op-tion at the bottom of that page. Under Student Records, there are three bullet points titled Sign up for eRefund, View Charges/Make Payment, View Payment Plan Informa-tion. Sign up for eRefund and View Charges/Make Payment

will take you directly to your personal account page, where you will see any outstanding balances that you may need to pay. View Payment Plan In-formation will direct you to a PDF document that outlines different payment plans that UHM provides. Finally, when you click on Financial Aid, you will be di-rected to this page. You can see the full award package that they’re given by selecting the Award by Aid Year link under My Award Information. After selecting the correct Fis-cal Term, students will have the opportunity to click upon Award Overview, which will provide the full details of their financial aid package.

MyTools Students can access My Tools from the MyUH home page. This provides a list of classes that you are taking for the term, as well as a bar for UH e-mail. You should check your UH e-mail frequently, as you may receive e-mails from professors as well as from UH administration about events on campus.

UH Life UH Life provides many addit ional resources for UH students. Just click on this tab from the MyUH homep-age, and click UH Mānoa to access many different school-related websites.

ASUH Surveys, Elections and UH Mānoa Occasionally, the Associ-ated Students of the University of Hawaiʻi will have surveys/ballots on MyUH that you can fill out. You can check the tab to see if such surveys/ballots are available. The tab to the right of that is UH Mānoa, which takes you to the main UH homepage.

Laulima On the top right corner of MyUH, you will see a little icon that says Laulima. Lauli-ma is a website that is used by professors to upload online ar-ticles and content for classes. You may also be required to post assignments or comment on discussions via Laulima.

Due to late night parties or diffi culties with transitioning from high school to col-lege, low GPAs are a common complaint amongst juniors and seniors who refl ect on their freshman year of college. While self-mo-tivation is required, free tutoring services are available on campus to get desirable grades. What many students learn over the years is that while studying may be the most essential way of learning, knowing when to ask for help is a close second. “When considering why freshmen, and any student for that matter, should consider using UH Mānoa’s tutoring ser-vices, I guess the main reason that comes to mind is the fact that the profession-ally trained tutors in the Learning Assis-tance Center and Writing Center engage freshmen and students in their learning process,” said Adam Pang, the tutoring program coordinator. Though a few departments have tu-toring services offered for their own sub-jects, there are three main centers where you can find help for a multitude of classes that you may find challenging.

Learning Assistance Center The Learning Assistance Center (LAC) offers help for a wide-range of subjects. There are specially trained tutors for accounting, economics, science, math, psychology and second language courses. Located in Sinclair Library at the Stu-dent Success Center, Mezzanine 1, above the Computer Lab, students may sign up for ap-pointments on the right side of the library’s entrance desk, or schedule a time online through the LAC website. Also available on the site are printable resources that include study skills, time management skills, test-taking tips, and essay-writing advice. For more information go to: http://manoa.ha-waii.edu/learning/index.html

Writing Center The University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa was one of the first universities in the country to open a writing center in 1973. Since then, tutors have helped many un-easy students on their essays or other writing-based assignments. The tutors

are often times graduate students, and sometimes juniors and seniors who have had previous tutoring experience. Similarly to LAC, the Writing Cen-ter (WC) is located in Sinclair Library but in The Commons room, in the back of the Grand Lobby on the first f loor. Appointments may be made in the li-brary or online. For more information go to: http://www.eng-lish.hawaii.edu/writingcenter/

First Year Composition Center Unlike the Learning Assistance Cen-ter and Writing Center, the First Year Composition Center (FYCC) was created specially for freshmen English 100 stu-dents. What makes the FYCC unique is that all of the tutors are undergraduates recommended by their previous profes-sors. The tutors are then enrolled in a class and learn tutoring skills while in-teracting with English 100 students. This also provides a sense of relat-ability between the tutors and the writ-ers, since the tutors have freshly experi-enced similar problems only a few years prior. Located in Kuykendall 415,where the majority of English classes take place, the FYCC is easily accessible. “If I were to interact with a student, I would emphasize that tutoring is most beneficial when used throughout the learning process. And, as said, they are a free service,” said Pang.

One issue that UH freshmen may be facing is whether or not to join the Honors program. Al-though there are many factors to consider such as the amount of time you can dedicate to your academics and the number of extracurriculars you’re engaged in, the Honors program offers many invaluable benefits for willing students. The advising sessions offered by the Honors program help to ensure students stay on a clear academic track. “When first-year students are admitted, they are re-quired to complete online and

in-person orientation and advis-ing sessions, which helps students become familiar with degree requirements. ... In addition, all Honors students are provided with personalized academic ad-vising with a dedicated adviser at least once a semester,” said honors academic adviser Kiana Shiroma. Shiroma also points out a key advantage that Honors students are given after they have completed orientation and advising sessions. “After attending both ses-sions, they are provided with priority registration to help them register for courses they want and need,” Shiroma

said. This priority registra-tion allows students to reg-ister hours earlier than other students; hours that are key to obtaining classes that may quickly fill up. The Honors program also has specialized classes, that, according to Shiroma, “(expose) students to challenging inquiry-based and research-based teaching. Also, by fulfilling the Engage-ment requirement, students are able to become more well-rounded in areas along with academics.” These classes tend to be seminar-structured, with smaller classes and ac-tive learning versus lectures. When studying for classes,

students may also desire a dorm situation that allows them to inter-act with fellow Honors students. According to the Honors website, “The Honors Program reserves the top three connecting fl oors in the newly renovated freshman hall at Hale Aloha Lokelani.” Finally, if you are engaged in the Honors program and have completed a number of Honors courses, you may be eligible to receive a Sophomore Honors Award. According to Shiroma, “When graduat-ing with a Sophomore Honors Award and/or with honors, the transcripts of graduating students will indicate that not only did students excel aca-

demically, but they took ad-vantage of everything that the Honors Program has to offer.” With all these benefits, joining the Honors program is advantageous towards one’s academic interests. The Hon-ors program looks for students that are able to meet the pro-gram’s demands. “Students who are talented and motivated to excel in their studies and in their everyday lives, those who are commit-ted to excellence in scholar-ship, leadership and service, engage in co-curricular and intercultural activities, and behave with personal integrity should apply.”

The University of Hawai‘i General Education Requirements may pose a challenge for many fi rst-year students. What do the acronyms DA, DH, DL and FGA mean, and why are they next to certain classes? Understanding the requirements that must be fulfi lled during your time at UH Mānoa is cru-cial for a successful fi rst year.

Foundations (FW, FS, FGA, FGB, and/or FGC) The three foundation require-ments can be broken down to Written Communication (symbolized by FW), Symbolic Reasoning (symbolized by FS), and Global and Multicultural Perspectives (symbolized through FGA, FGB or FGC). The trickiest aspects of the Foun-dation requirements are the Global and Multicultural Perspectives. Out of the three FG choices (A,B, and C), new students only have to take two courses, one from each group. For example, students can take a course that was designated FGA and anoth-er that was designated FGB or FGC, and their FG requirement would be fulfilled. For a detailed list of class-es that will fulfill the Foundations requirement, see:http://www.catalog.hawaii . edu/cor-erequirements/core-req.htm

Diversifi cation Requirements: (DA, DH, DL, DS, DB, DY, DP) The Diversifi cation Requirements, like the Foundation Requirement, can also be broken down into three groups: Arts, Humanities, and Literature (all one group symbolized by DA, DH and DL), Social Sciences (DS), and Natu-

ral Sciences (DB, DY, DP). The group Arts, Humanities and Literature is structured in a similar manner to the Global and Multicultural perspectives group from the Foundation require-ments in that you only need to take one course from two different groups. With regards to the Natural Sci-ences, you must take one course of Biological Science (DB), one course of a Physical Science (DP), and one science lab (DY). Finally, for Social Sciences, you need to take two courses (DS). For a complete list of classes with the di-versifi cation designation, see:http://www.catalog.hawaii . edu/cor-erequirements/diversif ication.htm

Focus Requirements: (O, E, W, H) The Focus requirements can be broken down into one Hawaiian, Asian, and Pacific Issues course (H), one Contemporary Ethics Course (E), one Oral Communications course (O), and five Writing Intensive Courses (W), with two of the courses being at the 300 to 400 level. It’s important to note that, “Focus courses are not shown in the UH catalog, but appear in each semester’s Schedule of Class-es (as H, E, O, and W) and on the UH Mānoa Registration Homepage (as HAP, ETH, OC, and WI),” according to the website. Another important factor with regards to the focus requirements is that you can possibly get an ex-emption from one the requirements. According to the UH graduation re-quirements website, “Students who engaged in an extraordinary edu-cational experience that took place outside of the ordinary university curriculum may request a one-course exemption from a Focus requirement that is directly related to that educa-

tional experience.” For more information on the Focus requirements and the exemption, see:http://www.catalog.hawaii .edu/core-requirements/grad-requirements.htm

Hawaiian or Second Language Requirement According to the UH website, students* need to be at a 202 level in Hawaiian language or another lan-guage by completing the following: A. Completing a four-semester se quence (usually 101, 102, 201, and 202) in a single language. B. Demonstrating competence by taking a UH Mānoa language-compe-tency exam, if one is offered. Check with the language department in question. C. Receiving a language-require-ment waiver. For example, waivers may be given to students who are na-tive speakers of a language other than English. Contact the Associate Dean of the College of Languages, Linguis-tics, and Literature for details. *Important note: the Hawaiian or Second Language requirement has been modified or waived for students in the following schools and colleges: Shidler College of Business; College of Education; College of Engineering; School of Medicine; School of Nurs-ing and Dental Hygiene; School of Ocean and Earth Science and Tech-nology; School of Social Work; Col-lege of Tropical Agriculture and Hu-man Resources. For more info, see: http://www.catalog.hawaii.edu/corerequirements/hsl.htm

Breadth and Depth-Arts and Science Majors If you’re enrolled in the Colleg-es of Arts and Sciences, it ’s impor-

tant to note the Breadth and Depth r e q u i r e -m e n t s , which are often un-e x pl a i n e d. Ac c o r d i n g to the Arts and Sci-ence web-site, there are three options to

fulfill this requirement.

Option 1 – Breadth: Complete at least three credits from each of the four A&S Colleges (College of Arts and Humani-ties, College of Languages, Linguistics, and Literature, College of Natural Sci-ences, College of Social Sciences). Courses used to fulfill the Breadth requirement can double dip with Fo-cus. Up to three of the credits can be counted toward major requirements. Credits from Math 103, 104, and 135 do not satisfy the Natural Sci-ences Breadth requirement, but they can be applied to the minimum 124 total credits for graduation. The minimum course grade to fulfi ll the Breadth requirement is a D (not D-). These requirements must be taken for a letter grade, unless the course is offered only with the CR/NC grade option.

Option 2 – Depth: Complete an A&S minor or certificate in a subject other than the major or complete a second A&S major. Courses for a minor or certifi-cate used to fulfill Depth can dou-ble dip only with Focus. The minimum course grade to ful-fi ll the Depth requirement is a C (not C-). These requirements must be taken for a letter grade, unless the course is offered only with the CR/NC grade op-tion. Minors, certifi cates and majors of-ten have minimum GPA requirements (see each department’s sections).

Option 3: Complete one of the follow-ing A&S degrees: BFA, BMus, or BS.

Additional Notes: Most courses at the Universi-ty of Hawai‘i at Mānoa are worth three to four credits. Labs are gen-erally one credit. You can register for courses by go-ing to myuh.hawaii.edu, entering your username and password, then click on add/drop classes. Holds may be pres-ent depending on your standing. Use the STAR programs to keep track of which requirements you have fulfi lled and which still need to be met. Credits towards your major and credits to fulfill your core require-ments can overlap, for example POLS 110 fulfilling the DS require-ment and a major requirement. Students need 124 credits to graduate from UH Mānoa.

Advising is mandatory for all University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa students every semes-ter for the first two years of college. But where do I go for advising? There are several options. If you already know what you would like your major to be, or have declared your major, each school or college has faculty to help you in your journey. If you do not know what you’d like to do with your college career yet, there are advising programs for you as well. Getting academic advising may sound intimidating, but having professionals take a look at your class choices and goals could help you graduate on time, which will save you money. Advisers are here for you to answer your questions, and to make your ride here at UHM as smooth as possible.

Every semester, college students are faced with the tough decision of where to buy their textbooks. Accord-ing to the College Board, the average student at a four-year public college spends $1,122 per year on books and supplies – a sum that could be re-duced with advance planning and shopping around.

New v.s. Used Before buying your books, consider whether you prefer new or used. There are pros and cons associated with each.

Used In many cases, used textbooks are only slightly cheaper than new ones, but the total savings over your college career could be significant. Addition-ally, purchasing a used book is a better environmental choice. Used textbooks, however, might not be your best option if you are planning to sell your books back to the campus bookstore or an on-line retailer at the end of the semester. The campus bookstore does not neces-sarily buy back all of the books it sells and online retailers are often interest-ed in only top-quality used books.

New Purchasing new books is a great op-tion for books that you might want to keep even when the semester ends. You may need them for other classes within your major or just to use as a reference. Moreover, if you purchase a new text-book, you may have a greater chance of being able to sell it at the semester’s end.

Where to shop There is an abundance of places to buy your textbooks, including a num-ber of websites. Current UH students recommend the following places: UH Mānoa Bookstore. Although it is the obvious and possibly most expen-sive choice, the UH Mānoa bookstore is right on campus. “I buy my books from the campus bookstore, even though it’s overpriced, but it’s so convenient,” said sophomore engineering major Jose Bu-matay IV. “I try to get them used, but they usually run out.” Senior chemistry major Danny Balico agreed. “I buy my books from the bookstore, because it’s very accessible and convenient, even if it’s expensive.” Amazon.com. Find new and used textbooks at a significant discount, but be sure to purchase as early as possible and pay for expedited ship-ping. Senior Japanese major Jamie Le-

wengood commented, “I used to buy (my books) off Amazon, but they took too long to get here.” Half.com. This eBay subsid-iary allows sellers to bid against each other, guaranteeing you a lower, more competitive price. “I usually buy my textbooks from here,” said graduate student Rex Troumbley. Independent Book-stores: Graduate stu-dent John Sweeney recommends local booksellers. “If you’re in a bind and seek-ing deals on books, scope out Bookends in Kailua, Jelly’s in town and Pearlridge, and Rainbow Books on University Ave.” Chegg.com A less traditional approach is to rent your textbooks from a site like Chegg.com. While renting is cheaper than buying brand-new books, you’ll need to do your homework to de-termine if you get better value by purchasing used books instead.

For most of us, our cost of college includes tuition, room and board, laptops (or for the truly hardcore, desktops) and software. We can cut down our costs us-ing financial aid and scholarships, but we can save even more, most notably in the software we use. Instead of dishing out over a hundred bucks for an entire Microsoft Offi ce Suite, or for Adobe Photoshop CS5, why not take a look around the Internet for free alternatives? You might be surprised at what you fi nd. At best, you could fi nd a free alternative that is even better than the original product. At worst, you will fi nd nothing and be forced to purchase the software for use.

Abiword, OpenOffi ce, Google Documents Do you really need all the bells and whistles that come with Microsoft Word, Excel, or PowerPoint? Or do you just need a word editor that will allow you to type double-spaced documents with a 1-inch margin in 12-point font (Or if you’re feeling dashing, 12.5-point font)? If not, then you really don’t need Microsoft Of-fice, but could use either AbiWord, OpenOffice, or even Google Documents. AbiWord is purely a word editor, small and lightweight. Although it doesn’t save as a .doc by default, you can save as that format and open the document on another computer. OpenOffice is another alternative that not only provides a word editor, but a PowerPoint copycat called “Presentation”, and other Microsoft Office equivalents. Lastly, Google Documents is a web-based editor. The beauty of this is that

all of the documents are online, so you don’t have to worry about your computer crashing and losing all your files. As for saving onto your computer, you can export various formats such as .doc, OpenOffice, or even PDF. The only problem with free software is that they may have minimal support for some of Office’s newer formats, such as .docx. However, they still get the job done, and for most students, that’s all that matters.

GIMP When we want to edit our pictures, we want to have a certain level of power. Paint is underwhelming, except for the few people who are pros at it. And Photo-shop is expensive for students. Enter Gimp, a free – albeit less advanced – alter-native that gives you enough power to edit your pictures without having to fork over an arm and a leg.

Alternatives These are only a few of the many alternative types of software you can get for free.Freenew.net makes it incredibly easy to f ind, download and install what you need. If all else fails and you can’t find an alternative to your software, you can still try to mitigate costs. You’re a student with a .edu account, right? Then you’re eligible for student discounts from vendors such as HP Academy (At least six per-cent off all products), or at the Microsoft website for student discounts (Windows 7 Professional for around $60). Take advantage of your status as a student, and save money where you can!

MANAGING EDITOR

Laptops and netbooks have become a common feature of the lecture hall, a trademark of any collegiate sett ing. Purchasing such devices presents a unique challenge for Hawai‘i-based students, as high shipping costs must be com-pared to the overpriced computers found at retail stores. There are however, many deals available that allow students to obtain high-powered laptops at a reasonable price.

Student Discounts Students may be relieved to find that the costs of ordering laptops online can be reduced by student discounts. Companies like HP, Dell, Sony, and Apple offer discounts for students ranging between 10-15 percent. To find details on such discounts, Google search HP Academy, Dell University, Sony Education Store, and Ap-ple Education store. Most of these websites will require students to supply a UH email address (Hawaii.edu).

Hot Deal Forums Aside from student discounts, online fo-rums have been created specifically for the purpose of finding deals. Websites such as Fat Wallet and Slickdeals offers forums that fea-ture hot deals. If students are lucky enough, they may be able to find a computer deal that is far better than any student discount. The main downside to Hot Deal forums however, is that

shipping and handling may apply for many of the deals. These shipping and han-dling costs may cause a good deal to become far too expensive to be an advanta-geous purchase. Before purchasing online then, students should double check the final cost of the item with shipping and handling included. Students can access the following websites at slickdeals.net/forums and fatwallet.com/forums.

Websites with No Shipping and Handling Costs Websites that don’t have shipping and handling costs (S&H) to Hawai‘i often provide a nice balance of a wholesale cost without heavy S&H. Ordering a laptop off HP could be beneficial to students, particularly because it doesn’t have S&H fees and it has a student discount. Ordering laptops and computer parts off of

Amazon.com directly is also a viable option, as there are also no S&H fees. Amazon.com has also offered a student deal for college students, which gives them free access to Amazon prime for a year. Amazon prime allows two-day shipping for free, and one-day shipping for $3.99. Visit http://www.amazon.com/gp/student/signup/info for more information.

Purchasing Retail Some students may require a laptop or netbook immediately. If those students cannot utilize Amazon.com, they may want to go to retail stores such as Office Depot or Best Buy to purchase lap-tops. Office Depot often has clearance sales that can provide relatively good deals for students. Best Buy on the other hand, has a greater selec-tion but can be pricier than Office Depot. You can locate stores closest to you via Google Maps.

Consider joining the Ace team, where our friendly atmosphere, competetive wages, merchandise discounts, flexible schedules, and a positive management team are just a few of the advantages we offer.

If you are planning on pursu-ing a degree in the arts, or simply

need supplies for the art elective you’re going to take, there are a number of choices for where you can shop for the supplies you’ll need. While some may think that

art classes are cheap because they often require no textbook, those people are forgetting that sup-plies can be just as expensive as a textbook – especially when those supplies run out and you need to buy more. Although there are nu-merous places to fi nd art supplies, here are a few of the best choices for students of UH Mānoa. The obvious fi rst place to look is the UHM Bookstore. Lo-cated in Campus Center right in the courtyard, the Bookstore offers a decent selection of sup-plies for most art, design and architecture classes. Because the Bookstore orders what the professors ask it to, you stand a good chance of fi nding exactly what’s on your syllabus. Paints, charcoal, paper, canvas, clay, brushes and a few other odds and ends can all be found in moderate selection. Don’t expect a wide range of brands for any particular product, but chances are they’ll have at least one or two types of most supplies. The Bookstore is also fairly reason-able in pricing and it’s hard to beat the sheer convenience. Be

Ben Franklin Crafts in the Market City Shopping Center at the intersection of Harding Ave and Kapi’olani Blvd.

warned though, they sometimes sell out of things quickly, especially for classes with multiple sections. Branching out geographically, there are two stores about 20 - 30 minutes away on foot that both offer art supplies from opposite ends of the spectrum. The fi rst is Ben Franklin Crafts, located in the low-er level of the Market City Shopping Center. It can be reached by walking down Dole St. past the Hawaiian Studies building and turning right onto Kapiʻolani. As the name implies, Ben Franklin is a craft supply store you’ll fi nd some intriguing alternatives to main-stream art stores that might serve you better. Funky stationery and awesomely tacky wrapping paper might be perfect for the statement you’re trying to make. In terms of pricing, Ben Franklin is very rea-sonable, making the walk there its biggest bummer. The second store within walking distance is Hawaiian Graphics located on Beretania St. just after the McCully St. intersection. This high-end retail art store features top-quality products in multiple art and design fi elds. They have a better selection and a wider range of products than the bookstore. Prices are expensive, though they do offer a 10 percent student discount with a valid UH ID. They also offer a $10 membership that provides a 20 percent discount off purchases of $15 or more on everything ex-cept books, magazines and sale items. If you have a vehicle or can handle the bus ride, there are also wholesale providers that can often be essential to fi nding what you need on a budget, and with their back-to-school sale, prices are even lower than normal. Fisher Hawai‘i is located on Cooke St. near the UHM John A. Burns School of Medicine. This supplier caters mainly to buyers of offi ce and school supplies but does carry some low-end art supplies as well. Although not the best place to shop for a specifi c or specialized product, the store is extremely useful for buying those odds and ends that artists sometimes need, but often overlook; like poster board, adhesives, art boxes and papers of varying weights. If you’re in need of fi ne-art supplies, look elsewhere, but if you need the industrial, bulk supplies of mixed media or performance art, Fisher may have exactly what you need – and a lot of it – for cheap.

Runny nose, sore throat, headache, and fe-ver? Before crying “Bird Flu”, you might want

to stop by the University Health Services at Mānoa (UHSM) building located on East-West Road. New and seasoned students al ike can easi ly benef it from the wide variety of health services offered by UHSM. Whether the problem is the common cold or stress overload, student health services provide students, faculty and staff with the resources they need to get and stay healthy. For the uninsured,

there are minimal fees ranging from $15 to $28, ensuring that students can afford everything that

UHSM has to offer. Rene Sanehira, head RN at UHSM, en-courages students to come in if they aren’t feeling well, or even just to call and ask the nurse with questions.

“Sometimes a student doesn’t know what an important symptom to report might be.” The most important time for students to pay

attention to their health is during the “red zone”, says Kristen Scholly, campus health education coordinator.

“Nationwide, it ’s the time of year from the start of school to Thanksgiving when students are most likely to burn out.” Sanehira describes the fall as the Health Center’s busiest time of year. “In the fall we do a lot of f lu vaccines. Another busy time is close to finals, when students get stressed and their immune sys-tems are weakened.” Beyond the flu shot, UHSM provides everything from urine analysis to strep screening. The Center also offers treatment in sports medicine, women’s health, derma-tology, travel medicine, psychological ser-vices, addiction counseling, and stress man-agement, among others. Additionally, UH has a health promo-tion program that students can both attend and coordinate. “The goal of the program is to provide health and wellness information and edu-cation across campus in a variety of ways,” said Scholly. The program includes health fairs, blood drives, and information ses-sions that take place in the residence halls and classrooms. During the year there are six different presentations on topics that are recommended by the American College Health Association, including sexual health,

DENTAL CLINICDENTAL CLINICELLISE AKAZAWA


The clinic off ers a basic range of dental hygiene services performed by students in that department, under the supervision of licensed dentists and dental hygienists. Because the clinic exists to provide teaching-learning experiences for dental students, the department may refuse to provide services to individuals who do not meet teach-ing criteria. Services are $25; Call 956-8229 for more information.

promotion services, making the opportunity ideal for those in the fields of health or social work. “In November we put together the Great American Smokeout, but the most popular is the Valentine’s Day sexual responsibility event, when we distribute free condoms. It’s the biggest event of the year,” said Scholly. No health issue is as prevalent as the inevitable affl iction that all students face: stress. Scholly stated that in a nationwide survey at col-lege campuses, stress was students’ number one concern. It is important to learn how to manage stress dur-ing the “red zone”, when students are most likely to drop out because of the stress of transitioning into the college environment. “One thing we are real-izing more and more is that some of the new (health) literature points out the importance of stress management techniques.” Scholly offered several tips for managing stress and main- taining a healthy lifestyle while in school.

Scholly reminds students to utilize the health services that the univer-sity provides. “Incoming freshman are going through a stressful transi-tion, and there is nothing wrong with feeling stressed out. If it gets to the point where it feels unmanageable, there are many people on campus that are there to support you. Seek out counseling at the Counseling Center.” The University Health Services clinic is open Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to noon and 12:30 to 4:00 p.m. On Wednesdays, clinic hours are 8:30 to noon and 1:30 to 4:00 p.m.

One good thing about Simply ‘Ono is that the menu varies every day, so each visit is a surprise. “It changes so you don’t get bored,” said Harris Sukita, co-owner of Simply ‘Ono, who draws on his experience working at the Kāhala Hilton for 11 years. Simply ‘Ono has been around for about 17 years, and has been on the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa campus for about two. The lunch-wagon can be found at the Krauss Hall walkway near Dole Street, as well as in the Center for Korean Studies parking lot, from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. every school day. Harris said that one of the lunchwag-on’s most popular selections is the fresh island fish that is in “overabundance” at the fish market that day, which allows

them to keep the prices down. “We go through a lot offish,” Harris said. When I visited the lunchwagonthe fi sh of the day was Cajun freshaku (skipjack tuna) at $6.75 for a reg-ular plate and $6 for a mini. I chosebrown rice over the other choicesof white rice, white or brown garlicrice, and a tossed salad over maca-roni salad, three-bean salad or okra. The portion of brown rice wasthe equivalent of about three bigscoops. The generous serving offi sh was nicely cooked with a hintof spiciness from the seasoning,which blended well with the moist,but not oily, fi sh. The plate couldhave been stretched into two meals,but the fi sh was so good I ate it all. Krauss Hall walkway, and Centerfor Korean Studies parking lot. (808)728-0441. www.simplyono.com.

College students’ budget typi-cally don’t allow for regular dinners at Tanaka of Tokyo or Benihana, but at The One and Only Teppanyaki Wagon (TOOTW), or Blue Truck Teppanyaki, just because there’s no fl ying knives or fl ipping vegetables into the chef’s hat doesn’t mean the food is of lesser quality.

When beef is kept in large chunks and cooked quickly, it tends to be chewy and generally unpleasant to eat, but TOOTW has mastered the art of keeping meat (startlingly) juicy during rapid cooking. The sweet and sa-vory steak fi nished with sesame,

and griddled onions and zucchini (a toned-down version of that on-ion volcano teppan chefs usually include in their shows) are made to order, so if you don’t want to wait, call ahead and the chef will have your order hot and ready for pickup in, say, four minutes?

The One and Only Teppanyaki Wagon 810 University Ave., in front of Atherton YMCA/Yogurtland. (808) 389-6808. Mon. to Fri., 3:30 to 8 p.m.; Sat. and Sun., 4 to 8 p.m. $8.

Though it smells like and is made from fermented fish, patis, or fish sauce, is as common in Filipino cooking as soy sauce is in Japanese cuisine, and when cooked it has a distinctive but (oddly) not fishy taste. At Food Trip, a kind, elderly wom-an who likes to be called Nana uses patis

liberally in her dishes, and it lends itself very well to a sauté of chicken thighs, long beans and zucchini in a black bean sauce. Sadly, the pancit, a stir-fry of thin rice noodles, almost completely lacked in fl avor and contained just a smattering of vegetables, mostly cabbage. But the pork guisantes, a tomatoey, garlicky stew of sliced pork, peas and potatoes, is a $5 ticket to Nana’s home kitchen – perfect grand-motherly comfort food that temporarily allevi-ates the stresses of life.

When someone ask s me where t he best place for i n-ser t-food-item-here i s , I r u n dow n a shor t but deta i led menta l l i st of places (plu-ra l) I l i ke best a nd why, a nd t hen at t he end say to eac h t hei r ow n. Garl ic shrimp, those but-tery l it t le crustaceans typi-cal ly sold from weathered lunchwagons on the North Shore, can incite a war of words with both sides f ierce-ly defending their favorite, as “Theirs is too garl icky!” is met with “Well, theirs is too oi ly!” From personal conver-sat ions and l istening in on others’, two names that have been ment ioned the most are Giovanni’s and Fumi’s, though Macky’s and Honos were runners-up. It became c lear early on i n my quest to d iscover what gar nered t hese sh r imp t r uck s suc h loya l fa n s t hat t here would be no appeas-

i ng eit her side, as I tasted for mysel f t he mer it s a nd dow n fa l l s of t hei r a rg u-ments. You should do t he same, a lbeit wit h more nap-k i n s t ha n I had – u n less you enjoy g rease a nd garl ic u n-der your f i nger na i l s .

Getting Saucy At Fumi’s, where the sweet white shrimp are harvested every morning from aquacul-ture lots behind the truck, a wedge of pineapple accompa-nies the shrimp plates. Even though it may not be there specif ically for this purpose, taking a small bite between mouthfuls of shrimp helps to cut through the abun-dant butter sauce, which is scrumptiously salty and rife with sizeable chunks of gar-lic, and f ine as a meal alone with plenty of rice. But past the 11 pan-fried shells was f lavorless meat that could only be (somewhat) remedied by puncturing the shrimp with a fork and lett ing them soak in the sauce for a bit. Who will likely love Fu-mi’s: people who love to douse their starch in sauce. Shrimpless option: Fried

pork cutlet (tonkatsu) getting to the meat of it. Thought to be Hawai‘i’s original shrimp truck, Giovan-ni’s seems unfazed by compe-tition with newer businesses, probably because of its reassur-ingly constant long line. Here, the sauce, easier on garlic and lightened with olive oil, clings to the shrimp and serves more as a marinade instead of pool-ing on the plate, and permeates the meat so that each bite is full of flavor. Though the shrimp were better-cooked than at Fumi’s, I did find several indi-viduals whose vein (digestive tract) still ran along their back-sides – but the Giovanni’s fans I know don’t care. Who w i l l l i k e ly love Giova n n i ’s : p e ople who k e e p t he sh r i mp a s t he m a i n at t rac t ion . Shrimpless option: Garlic-sautéed hot dog.

Shaded picnic facilities offered, perfect combination of sand and grassy areas at this beach. Great for playing ultimate frisbee, football, or beach volleyball. Be mindful of the reef area when heading into the water, sharp rocks and wave sets are a little hazardous. Restrooms, showers and lifeguard facilities are all offered here. Perfect beach for those who are active and want to play sports/exercise.RATING: 9/10 (View/Surroundings) 9/10 (Convenience)

Sandy Beach Park.Sandy Beach Park.When the surf is calm this beach is great for swimming, however when the surf is up this beach can be treacherous due to the shore break and riptide currents. Located just past Hanauma Bay on the road to Makapu‘u. It’s usually very crowded due to the bodysurfing competitions held there almost every weekend. This beach is for experienced swimmers only, but is perfect to come lie down, tan, and enjoy watching the boarders. Bring a cooler, sun shade, and all the friends. Restrooms, showers and lifeguard facilities are all offered here. Perfect beach to relax at and watch competitions.

A 10-15 minute walk leads to a beautiful cove area with sparkling cerulean water. A telephone pole jutting out from a rock outcrop allows for a diving board into the wa-ter. Bring a bottle of water and your backpack to this beach, no coolers unless you are willing to hike with it. No restrooms, shower or lifeguard facilities are offered here so be prepared.

For students across the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa campus looking to polish their résumés, Registered In-dependent Organizations, or RIOs, are an excellent av-enue to consider. The idea behind these programs is for students to look beyond the idea of simply creating a well-craft-ed résumé and think about what they desire in an RIO. Some may consider an RIO where the parties are wild and excitement sparks at the mention of the organiza-tion’s name. Others are more into intramural sports or choose to rent surfboards, kayaks and tents to try something new. Still others aim to gain connections by joining RIOs that interest them and suit their major. Above all, however, we must consider the pur-pose of RIOs, which, according to the UHM Co-Curric-ular Activities, Programs and Services Web site, are to “serve the campus and greater community by providing leadership development for students and by promoting community spirit, activism, public service, and social, recreational, and cultural interaction among UHM stu-dents, faculty, and staff.” These opportunities are highlighted by several students who participate in RIOs around campus, like UHM sophomore Heather Omori. “Students should join RIOs. For one, if you’re a freshman it allows you to meet new people. It is also good because you can get involved with activities that UH have to offer, and it looks awesome when going to graduate school,” Omori said. Mary-Joy Llaguno, a sophomore in Circle K Interna-tional, a group that bills itself as “the premiere collegiate

community service organization,” expressed similar sentiments. “As an RIO club, we contribute to the campus by getting students involved in extracurricular activities … and give the students on campus a variety of organizations to be a part of,” Llaguno said. Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Reed Dasenbrock weighed in, stating that “extracurricular activities and being in-volved is a very important marker of being engaged in Mānoa and the community.” The recommendations around campus seem to be the same: join an RIO, whether it be the Debate Society, Mānoa Mixed Mar-tial Arts or the Xena: Warrior Princess Fan Club, and you’ll meet new people and contribute to campus life. There are 200 RIOs, and it is in a Mānoa student’s best interest to join one - not just for the résumé, but for the experience.

Students interested in get t ing involved on campus and student gov-ernment should consider joining the Associated Students of the Uni-versity of Hawai‘i. According to the ASUH website, “The Associated Students of the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa (ASUH) is the under-graduate student government represent ing al l ful l-t ime, c lassif ied, un-dergraduate students at the Mānoa Campus. ASUH was chartered by the University of Hawai‘i Board of Regents in 1912 and is now in its 98th year of serving and represent ing students.” ASUH currently has 24 vacancies, with 14 seats being vacant from the College of Arts and Sciences, two from Shidler College of Business, one from College of Education, one from the School of Architecture, one from the School of Pacific and Asian Studies, one from the Hawai’inuiakea School of Hawaii Knowledge, one from the school of Travel Industry Management, one from College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources, one from the School of Ocean, Earth Science, and Technology, and one from the Col-lege of Health Sciences and Social Welfare. Students belonging to those schools that are interested in running can stop by the ASUH office during the first week of school and pick up elec-tion packets. According to Anna Koethe, ASUH Vice President, “Once they fill out the packets and turn them in by the deadline students will be able to vote for them during the special election period in fall.” The benefits of joining ASUH include an in-depth knowledge of situa-tions affecting UH Mānoa and the experience of student government.

The first few weeks of college are

arguably the best time to meet people: everyone

is excited to be on campus and looking to make new

friends. Here is a list of easy ways to meet people:

Get roommates If you still haven’t figured out

where you’re living for the semester, then start looking for roommates ASAP.

If you already have a roommate, get to know him or her! Living with other stu-dents is fun and a great way to expand your social network. “Some of my very best friends are people I lived with my first se-mester in college,” commented senior po-litical science major David Jones.

Leave your dorm door open Leaving your door open is a great way to meet your fellow floor-mates. If someone is looking for something to do or an item to borrow, they’ll probably knock on an open door as opposed to a closed one. As my best

friend in college would say, “Open doors make happy floors.”

Invite people Don’t be afraid to invite people you’ve just met to your next beach, shopping or cafeteria trip. Chances are, they will bring their new friends as well. Attend as many orientation activities as possible. While a scavenger hunt or lecture may seem bor-ing at the time, you never know who you might meet.

Attend your department orientation If your department offers an orientation, at-tend it. Not only will you meet people that you may be sharing classes with, but you have the chance to start building valuable relationships with professors.

Show up at any CSO or RIO events Chartered Student Organizations (CSOs) and Reg-istered Independent Organizations (RIOs) often hold meetings, provide activities or sponsor barbecues dur-ing the fi rst few weeks of the semester. In addition to free entertainment and possibly free food, you can meet other students who share your interests.

Spend time in common areas There comes a time during the semester when hiding away in your room or study car-rel at the library is the best way to spend your time – but definitely not during the first month. “Hang out at Campus Center,” offered sopho-more microbiology major Peter Chun. “It’s good if you like talking to people,” he continued.

CHRIS MIKESELL

Opinions Editor

If you want to be a student writer, seeing your byline in print could be as easy as picking up your campus newspaper. Who knows, you might even get paid for it. The UH Mānoa Board of Publications administers three student-run efforts: our college paper, Ka Leo o Hawai‘i; Ka Lamakua, an alternative and creative webzine; and Hawai‘i Review, a student literary journal. All three scour the campus for volunteer writers, and

if you’re willing to write, they’re looking for you. The semi-annual Hawaii Review accepts manuscript

submissions of poetry, fi ction, non-fi ction, visual art, and translation, up to 10,000 words.

Ka Lamakua looks for magazine-style writing with a progres-sive or alternative twist, specializing in creativity, the arts, food,

music, and performance. There, the focus is on visual content – busting out that point-and-shoot could make a $10 article worth $25 instead. Ka Leo o Hawai‘i, UH Mānoa’s student newspaper, looks not only for student reporters and columnists but also for copy editors and page designers, who are paid hourly. They publish Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays during Fall and Spring semesters and once a week during the summer. Volunteers writing for Ka Leo and are granted stipends based on how many articles they write, which can range from $5 to $15 based on experience and quality. And besides giving writers an oppurtunity to get published, Ka Leo, Ka Lamakua, and Hawai‘i Review also hire volunteers to work as editorial staff, many of whom started off as writers. Their next writer could be you.

FOUR THINGS YOU CAN DO TO GET YOUR FOOT IN THE DOOR

4: Read what you want to writeYou wouldn’t try to draw Lani Moo without knowing what a cow looked like, so why would you write a magazine or news article without knowing how they’re written?3: Your editor needs to be your BFFIf your editor knows you on a fi rst-name basis and is familiar with what you love to write, it’s more likely that you’ll be the fi rst person she thinks of when she gets a scoop that’s just right for you!2: Be ready to take criticismYour editor’s job is to make you and your writing look good in print. Sometimes that means editors have to change things. Good editors will take the time to explain to writ-ers why edits happen – good writers will remember why they happened next time they set out to write. 1: Take The First StepA lot of people say they want to become the next great novelist or the next great journal-ist, but if you don’t get out there and fi ll out an application, you won’t see it happen!

The Center for Career De-velopment and Student Em-ployment (CDSE) provides a one-stop shop for students re-gardless of what they’re look-ing for, said CDSE director Myrtle Ching-Rappa. “We can provide them with a full range of services throughout their college ca-reer,” Ching-Rappa said. Career Development assists students when they’re ready to graduate, whereas Student Em-ployment helps students find jobs on and off campus while still in school. Both depart-ments are located in the Office of Student Affairs in Queen Lili‘uokalani Center for Stu-dent Services, Room 212. “It’s convenient because you’re always here anyway,” said Lindsey Muraoka, a UH Mānoa graduate. The hiring process for stu-dent employment is a lot like the hiring process at any other off-campus business. Students are expected to look for jobs online that interest them, pull and process the referral, get contacts, apply and interview. Although CDSE will pro-vide guidance to students who need it, processes such as on-line job searching will teach them to be independent, said external relations manager Jen-ny Chow. “We want to prepare stu-dents for the real world and have them do things for them-selves,” Chow stated. UH Mānoa graduate Daniel Pascual found his on-campus job as a web administrator for the Ser-vice Learning Program by brows-ing through the UH website. “The way they have the website designed is easy,” Pas-cual said. “It takes you through the steps.” On his own, Pascual was able to find an on-campus job directly related to his major in

information and computer sci-ence. Convenience, he said, is the best thing about his job. Eliminating the commute between school and work is one of the many reasons stu-dent employees enjoy on-cam-pus jobs and why others want to find one. UH Mānoa student Angie Lee said that although she does not work on campus, she would be interested in it. “It’s more convenient while you’re a student because you’re on campus already and you don’t have to drive anywhere,” said Lee. On-campus departments offer jobs with flexible hours. Employers know that educa-tion comes first and are willing to make special allowances so students can do well in school, Chow said. That’s what CDSE tells stu-dents when they are counseled, said Ching-Rappa. She also recommended that students follow a progressive plan: start work on campus as a student employee and then expand into work within their majors as part of the Cooperative Educa-tion Program. CDSE believes the Coopera-tive Education Program allows students to gain real-world ex-perience in their majors while still in school. Participating students may benefit by de-veloping a marketable career portfolio, networking with professionals, putting theory into practice and gaining pro-fessional skills. Students can fi nd jobs online by logging on to www.hawaii.edu/sece/. Once on the website, a UH username and password will be re-quired to check job eligibility. Stu-dents can fi ll job vacancies within any department on campus, not just the department in which they study. Eligibility for job positions depends on student status. For further information on CDSE, job listings and require-ments, visit their new website at www.cdse.hawaii.edu.

Everyone has heard stories about the dread-ed Freshman 15, and for good reason. In most cases, the first year of college is a student’s first experience away from home for an extended pe-riod of time. There is no one to argue that cookies and ice cream are not the breakfast of champions, nor anyone to advise against watching television all day. And with the convenience of an on-campus all-you-can-eat buffet three times daily, the leg-endary Freshman 15 is easily obtained. This doesn’t have to be the case, for either an incoming freshman or a super senior look-ing to become more active; the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa has many opportunities for those seeking to lead an active lifestyle.

INTRAMURALS Intramural sports on campus are a great way to stay active and fulfill a bit of competitive de-sire. It gives students a chance to compete with friends, stay active in their favorite sports, pick

up a new hobby and meet new people, all while playing in an organized league. The fall and spring semesters offer sports ranging from flag football, basketball for all heights, golf, tennis, volleyball and more. In-formation about sign-up and run dates for intramural sports and other physical fitness activities and programs is available at the In-tramural Sports Office in the P.E./Athletic Com-plex, Room 200 at the start of each semester. In addition to running organized leagues, the Intramural Sports Office has equipment such as basketballs and tennis rackets available to check out. The Intramural Sports Office is also where students can go to check when rec-reational facilities are open or to reserve them for group or individual use.

FITNESS CENTER UHM also offers an on-campus fitness cen-ter that is open seven days a week. Located right under the ticket office of the Stan Sheriff Center, the fitness center is equipped with gear, from treadmills and elliptical machines to free weights and cable weights. The gym is free for students with a validat-ed UH ID, and the only other requirements are a workout towel and appropriate dress.

LEISURE CENTER Another program offered by UH is the Lei-sure Center, located in Hemenway Hall, Room 101. The Leisure Center offers students a chance to sign up for a variety of activities, including guitar lessons, yoga and hula. The Leisure Center is also available to rent out tents, surfboards, kayaks and hiking gear. Prices can be found on their website. With al l the programs that UH has to of-fer, staying act ive is not a chal lenge. Wheth-er you are trying to avoid the dreaded Fresh-man 15, looking for a l it t le more excitement, or just something to do, a fun act ivity is nev-er far away.

Kickoff for the 2010 War-rior football team’s season opener is at 5 p.m. on Sept. 2, but the Aloha Stadium parking lots will be filled with tailgat-ing fans several hours before the game begins. The lower Hālawa parking lots open early, providing fans with ample time to tailgate, en-joy their food and spend quali-ty time with family and friends before the game. Tailgating is a popular activ-ity that is considered by many to be a crucial element at University of Hawai‘i football games. Brandon Amano, a UH fi-nance major, is a highly experi-enced tailgater. “I have always tailgated. If UH is playing at Aloha Stadium, you can fi nd me in the lower Hālawa parking lot with the grill and

tents,” Amano said at a UH tailgate last season. “I don’t think I have ever missed a UH game in the last 15 years I have been going.” Amano and his friends have planned tailgate parties for each

UH home game, coordinating with one another to decide who will bring what food. “We have all kinds of food when we tailgate. We make sure we have enough rice, be-cause you can’t have a tailgate without rice,” Amano said. They also bring poke, other pūpū to grill, and beer – which they consider a necessity. “We buy most of the food prior to the game, but we do grill some of it at the game, like steak, chicken and shrimp,” Amano said. “If a grill isn’t involved, it takes away from the tailgating experience.” Aside from cooking and eating, Amano said they spend their time talking story. “The main thing is to make sure everyone is having fun and enjoying all the food,” he said. “It’s also a great time to catch up with each other and see how everyone is doing.”

With a college student’s budget in this economy, it’s im-portant to know the discounted ticket prices offered to Univer-sity of Hawaiʻi students at the school’s athletic events. Here is how you can cheer for your UH teams while saving money. Football, men’s and women’s volleyball, men’s basketball, and baseball are the only UHM sports that have entrance fees for students. As soon as you have paid for tuition, housing, and fees, you should head over to Campus Center to validate your student ID, which you need to get stu-dent-priced tickets. You may also want to fig-ure out if you plan on attending a sport regularly, or only once or twice, because there are indi-

vidual and season ticket prices. If you decide to go with season tickets, look into joining the Mānoa Maniacs, the official UH student spirit group. Students that purchase a Mānoa Maniacs season ticket package receive a reserved seat for all regular season home games (excluding conference tourna-ments or postseason games) in the respective sport, and exclusive access to Mānoa Maniacs promo-tional activities. If you want to buy season or individual tickets ahead of time you can log onto www.etickethawaii.com/student-in-fo.html or go to the Stan Sher-iff Center box office. You can also buy your tick-ets at the door of the Stan Sher-iff Center, Aloha Stadium and Les Murakami Stadium.

Ticket office: (808) 944-2697 or [email protected].

After the adjustment to college life has commenced and hanging out at the dorm every weekend night has got-ten stale, you may want to do some of the things you used to do during high school, or maybe just go out to town for the night. Luckily, there is always some-thing to do at night in Honolulu, even if the club scene is not for you. Still want to catch the latest movies ev-ery Friday night? Ward Theatre is located at the heart of Ward Center, just down from Ala Moana Shopping Center. Parking is free and un-less a Twilight movie is premiering, usually plen-tiful. Ward not only hosts Hawai‘i’s most screens, with 16 of them, but also recently became the home of the state’s largest screen with the opening of the Titan TX cinema. Titan TX primarily shows the lat-est 3-D fi lms, and also features rocking leather seats to complete the movie-going experience. Be sure to

read Ka Leo during the week as free movie pre-mieres, just for Mānoa students, are announced through the paper. If you want to make it a dinner and a movie, Ward Center also hosts several popular restau-rants. Great pasta and pizza can be ordered at Buca di Beppo, just downstairs from the the-ater. Across the street in the Ward Warehouse, the Spaghetti Factory offers exactly what its name suggests; some great spaghetti. If you’re looking for a more casual dining experience and don’t want to wait for a table, Wahoo’s Fish Tacos is a great Mexican style restau-rant. Despite the name, Wahoo’s offers great chicken and steak tacos along with other Mexican dishes and great sides and appetizers. Show up on “Wahoo Wednesdays” for the best deals.

Wahoo’s is also a sponsor for many BAMP Project concerts that take place just a walk away from the restaurant at Pipeline Café. Pipeline is the place to go for con-certs of all musical genres, as well as comedians. One night could be a reggae show

by Iration or Rebelution, a metal show by Children of Bodom, an indie show by Vampire Weekend, an emo show by Taking Back Sunday, or even in some

cases international superstars like Utada Hikaru grace Pipeline’s stage. The big-ger the band, the sooner tickets sell out and the sooner you should grab some, which can be picked up at Campus Center. Other concert venues include the Blaisdell Concert Hall, the Waikīkī Shell, and The Loft in Chinatown, however the latest and greatest typically end up playing their shows at Pipeline. For the pool sharks and arcade junkies, there’s Hawaiian Brian’s located just a walk away from campus on Kapi‘olani Boulevard. “Brian’s”, as it is simply called by locals, is the premier pool hall on the island, but also boasts ping-pong tables and an arcade complete with modern games such as Dance Dance Revo-lution and Time Crisis, alongside arcade classics like skeeball and air hockey. Brian’s is the perfect spot late at night when everything else has closed, as it’s

open until 2 a.m. on the weekends. If you drive, parking is validated and costs you only $1.25 for your entire night.

Editor-in-Chief

It ’s a Friday night and you and your friends are broke and bored. Now is the perfect time for ghost hunting. Ghost hunting is a bit of a misleading name for this pastime: no, you wont have to worry about crossing streams or capturing and containing ghosts in a nucle-ar holding cell. You will have to worry about what to bring, who to bring and where to go in order to encounter the spirits and strange phenomena of eastern O‘ahu. So, you can stay inside and play Modern Warfare 2 again, or you can get up and go on a terrifying and insanely fun adventure, and I’ll tell you how.

What to bring This depends on exactly where you’re going. Here are a few of the basics: a flashlight (duh), though you may want to try and use this as little as pos-sible to increase the sense of ex-

citement and fear. Next, jeans that can get dirty, shoes that can get dirty and that you can run away screaming in, and a camera with video-recording capabili-ties. Naturally, if the weather is iffy, bring a jacket, hat, or maybe even a poncho.

Who to bring This can be even more im-portant than the location, since bringing the wrong person can ruin the mood. Additionally, you’ll need to think about how many friends to bring, which can be just as important. Too many friends and none of you will be scared; not enough and you might not be able to get to the end of the road without running away. You’ll want to bring friends that are easygoing, ready to walk or hike a good distance without complaining, and have a good sense of humor so that when you sneak up from behind and grab them, they’ll laugh with you after they scream instead

of punching you in the face. Pro-tip: bring a mix of both sexes along with you, since girls will generally enhance the mood by shrieking a lot and sometimes strengthen the resolve of the boys to keep go-ing as well.

Honolulu cemeteries Now we get to the fun part - where to go. A good beginning for the inexperienced is to visit one of the numerous cemeteries in Honolulu. The first thing to remember about cemeteries is that there are dead people bur-ied beneath you (obviously), but this means you must remain re-spectful at all times. Stay on the paths provided to visitors and try not to curse or be too noisy. The main danger in cemeteries is angering a ghost and having it stick to you. This means you’ll bring the ghost home with you, and it will not be happy “liv-ing” in your house. The Makiki Cemetery lo-cated at the top of Pensacola Avenue is small and tucked

in between apartment build-ings. It might seem too close to civilization to be scary, but to the contrary, the ominous silhouettes of the towering apartment buildings, as well as the strange glow of street lights mixed with the grungy atmosphere of a town rich in violent ghost history, make this cemetery a scary - but not too terrifying, beginning for a ghost-hunting night. The Mānoa Chinese Cem-etery located at the split be-tween E. Mānoa Road and Old E. Mānoa Road is a favorite for UH students because of its proximity to campus. Person-ally, I find this cemetery to be more relaxing than scary, although it’s definitely worth checking out at least once. The sculptures and the statue-guarded archway at the top can be a bit creepy. This one will likely require a jacket or poncho as it ’s prone to sudden rain showers. Last, but not least, are the cemeteries on Nu‘uanu Ave.

The O‘ahu Cemetery is a west-ern-style graveyard and the Kukui Mortuary is a Chinese-style cemetery. Located across the street from one another, they provide a double dose of fear. The O‘ahu Cemetery is a dark, gloomy place com-plete with mausoleums and intricate headstones. Some-times the gate is closed and locked, but if it is, turn your attention to the Kukui Mortu-ary. The access road near the under-construction apartment building makes it easy to get into, but once you’re there, you may find yourself wishing you weren’t. The rows and rows of polished black grave markers gleam with the reflected light of your flashlight, inducing imagined Chinese fireballs for a terrifying effect. The sound of the nearby stream plays tricks on your mind, causing you to habitually check over your shoulder. Finally, the im-mense pagoda that seems to loom out of the streambed and

out of a nightmare. Both can be reached by a staircase at the bottom of the access road. Dare your friends to touch the pa-goda entrance or walk across the shrine bridge and see who the real chickens are.

Creepy places Once you’ve graduated from cem-eteries, the next thing is to visit the nu-merous haunted spots and just plain creepy venues of the town. The upside of these places is that there are simply

less ghosts to potentially anger. On the other hand, the ghosts that do reside in these places are generally already angry, exactly because they aren’t in a cemetery. Add the fear of the dark and unknown as well as the danger of the occasional night-marcher trail and you’re in for a terrifying night. For the uninitiated, night-march-ers are the spirits of Native Hawaiian warriors that descend from the moun-tains to march along traditional paths

toward the sea. Residents of houses that lie along night-marcher trails often report strange torch-like lights heading for their homes, the sounds of drums and even a suffocating feel-ing as they try to sleep. At the back of Mānoa on Wa‘aloa Way (just off of Mānoa Road) you’ll fi nd a foot-bridge that leads to a trail into the jungle. This is Seven Bridges. Little is known about what exactly haunts this spot and causes the bizarre phenomena that occur here, though the majority of the rumors al-lege that the trail was once a night-marcher path. The power of the night-marchers may account for what makes Seven Bridges famous. After walking up the trail into the forest, you should have crossed (you guessed it): seven bridges. On the way back down, even recounting the last bridge, you will cross only six. The van-ishing bridge alone is enough to make the hairs on your neck stand up. Though not malevolent spirits, night-marchers are said to be extremely proud of their warrior heri-tage making them extremely dangerous. If you hear the sound of drums or catch a glimpse of fl ickering torch-light while on this trail, it is rumored that there is only one way to prevent the proud spirits from killing for trespassing on their trail. You must remove all of your clothes, bow with your head touching the ground and do not move until the sound of the drums has dis-sipated completely. This show of extreme humility alledgedly appeases the warriors, allowing you to leave unharmed.

Out-of-town adventures If you’re willing to drive up into the rainy Ko‘olau mountains, one of the most famous ghost-hunting sites awaits you: Morgan’s Corner. Lo-cated at the hairpin turn along the Nu‘uanu Pali Dr. the site is named for the large mansion overlooking it that once belonged to a Dr. Morgan. Although the urban legend involves a young couple, a stalled car, and a murder involving the boyfriend be-ing strung up in a tree by his feet, the actual event that gave the location its infamy was the murder of Therese Wilder in her home by two escaped convicts in 1948. The Wilder home no longer exists and is now a gated com-munity, but the spot still resonates with fear, sorrow and anger. A bit further along the road, you will come across a tree at the entrance to the Judd Memorial trail which leads to

the Jackass Ginger Pool. Even though it may be nothing more than a legend, this tree and the story of the boy who was hung from it still inspire fear. When you drive past these two sites, turning off your engine and getting out of your car to look around is a true test of bravery. If you can manage to stave off terror long enough, sit under the tree and look up into its branches, but be warned - you may need counseling afterwards. Keep driving across the Pali High-way and you’ll fi nd yourself on the Windward side of the island. At the bottom of the Pali Highway, right be-fore the intersection with Kamehameha Highway, you can make a left-hand turn across the highway onto the now de-funct half of Auloa Road. After pulling onto the road, you’ll be forced to stop only a short way up by large barricades and a metal fence that now block the road. This is the strangly named New Morgan’s Corner. It is unclear whether this name is derived from confusion as to where Morgan’s Corner is located or if, for Windward residents, this is their manifestation of one of the most infa-mous ghost spots on the island. One thing is certain - it’s equally as scary as the true Morgan’s Corner. Unlike the Nu‘uanu spot, the windward location is truly isolated. Once you cross the barricade and the fence and venture along the rundown, blocked-off road, you will be completely engulfed in the jungle and the darkness with no trace of houses or civilization. Though Mrs. Wilder’s spirit certain-ly doesn’t reside here, one rumor sug-gests that, when Auloa Road was still open and connected to Kianaola Road, a military man kidnapped two 13-year-old girls and brought them there. Un-der the Pali Highway bridges, the girls ran and one was shot dead. Though the murder case is true, the exact spot of the tragedy is unknown. New Morgan’s Corner also has a tree similar to the one at the Judd Trail, again located at a hairpin turn overlooking the Pali golf course, leading some people to specu-late that the legend of the boy hung from his feet actually happened here. For the truly brave, try making it past the tree all the way to the cliff-wall of the Pali Highway. As the traffi c lights from 30 feet above you gleam eerily, dare to touch the cliff wall with your back to the tree. Close your eyes, count to 10 and pray nothing grabs you from behind.
