UH students address rural health crisisBy Yuka JokuraKa Leo Staff Reporter

Hoping to address the cur-rent crisis in health and social services available in rural areas, University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa students banded together this sum-mer to work in health centers in rural communities. Since 2000, the Hawai‘i Quentin Burdick Rural Health Interdisciplinary Training Program has offered students an opportunity to learn about critical health issues facing the neighbor islands. For six weeks during the sum-mer, six interdisciplinary teams made up of health science students were trained and sent to live and work in Honoka‘a and Pāhoa on the Big Island, Hanalei and Waimea on Kaua‘i, Moloka‘i and Lāna‘i. In Hanalei, public health studies graduate student Alejandro Campos learned the importance of teamwork. “The number one thing I took away from this experience was learned through team work, (which involved) being humble and learn-ing to compromise,” Campos said. Some of this year’s activi-ties included updating a resource binder toolkit to make a college education more accessible to rural teens, job shadowing, giving nutri-tion and exercise lessons to help prevent obesity, and having discus-sion groups to address drugs, teen pregnancy and sex. Health challenges facing rural areas include limited access to ser-vices, a shortage of health care professionals, far distances to emer-gency care facilities and limited educational opportunities in health. Each community has its unique health issues and figuring them out can be a challenge. However, stu-

dents learned that there are ways to address these problems. “If you just talk story and lis-ten, the community members will tell you what the issues are,” said Melodi Wynne, a community and cultural psychology graduate stu-dent who worked in Moloka‘i. The four neighbor islands are federally designated as medically underserved areas, meaning there is a shortage of medical services available. To improve access to healthcare in rural communities, Sen. Daniel Inouye and former sen-ator Quentin N. Burdick co-wrote

and sponsored legislation that now funds interdisciplinary rural health training programs like the Hawai‘i QB Program. The program has trained a total of 168 students from 11 disciplines. Students typically come from nurs-ing, medicine, social work, public health, psychology, medical tech-nology, nutrition, dental hygiene, education, speech/audiology and speech communication disciplines. The program has helped its par-ticipants to find jobs, with former students now working in rural areas with underserved populations.

More importantly, partici-pants of the Hawaii QB Program gain understanding and educa-tional training about rural com-munities that could not have been learned in a classroom. “This experience has had a big impact on my future career path,” said Princess Pizo, a graduate student in speech pathology who worked in Waimea. “I never really thought about living in a rural area and now, because of this experience, I hope to work there (Waimea).” Learn more by visiting http://hawaiiqbprogram.com.

Capitol hosts Con Con conferenceBy Kapiolani StreetKa Leo Associate News Editor

A conference concerning the decision of whether or not Hawai‘i should hold a Constitutional Convention will be held Saturday. The conference will provide voters with the history and con-text for a vote on a Constitutional Convention, which, through elect-ed delegates, would amend and revise the State Constitution. “The event is designed to help voters become more informed about the Con Con question that is on the ballot in November,” third year William S. Richardson School of Law student Amy Trask said. The event is “not in favor or against a Con Con; it’s just meant to give people a balanced look at the issues involved before they vote,” said Trask. So far, three constitutional con-ventions have been held. In 1978, the Hawai‘i State Constitutional Convention addressed Native Hawaiian issues, including the return of Kaho‘olawe to the state of Hawai‘i, the creation of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, and the acknowledgement of the Hawaiian language as the official state language. The conference will feature the Associate Director for the Center for State Constitutional Studies and Professor of Law at Rutgers University-Camden, Robert F. Williams, and the President of the League of Women Voters of Hawaii, Anne Feder Lee. Joining the panel of speakers will be William S. Richardson Law School Dean Avi

MĀNOA ALCOHOL PROJECT Planners for prevention

KENT NISHIMURA • KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Ashley Hanna fills out a survey on alcohol use at a temporary kiosk set up by the Mānoa Alcohol Project outside of Campus Center’s Copy Center yesterday. In exchange for filling out the survey, students received a planner designed by UH Mānoa graphic design students Kelli Ann Harada, Alexis Claire Trono, Sumet Viwatmanitsakul and Gwendolyn Woltz.

With a desire to make the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa a more sustainable place, a group of students decided to create Cycle Mānoa, an organization devoted to promoting bicycling. Formed from a workshop run by Sustainable Saunders in February, Cycle Mānoa recycles old bikes, selling them back to students. “We all knew that many stu-dents left their bicycles at the end of the year. So we pitched our idea to the Associated Students of the University of Hawai‘i to get fund-ing to buy bicycles at the end of the school year,” said Daniel Alexander, president of Cycle Mānoa. Then the group spent its sum-mer repairing their collection of 80 bikes over the summer. Now, they are set to put on their first sale today. The sale will be the fruition of Cycle Mānoa’s vision, which is to educate, advocate and ride. Cycle Mānoa Vice President Michael Kimmitt believes that cycling will not only help with the parking crunch, but also with physi-cal fitness, student cost of living and what he calls “improved environ-mental karma.” While cycling has received a global production boom, the trend has yet to catch on in the United States. But Cycle Mānoa hopes to

change that for UH Mānoa. By alleviating the inconve-niences associated with cycling, like repairs and maintenance, Cycle Mānoa creates an infrastructure for cycling to become more popular, said Alexander. “If enough people participate, Cycle Mānoa could be the collective voice for the campus cycling com-munity on bicycle advocacy,” said adviser Harry Partika, who wants to execute the UH 2005 Master Bicycle Plan, which sets goals for more bicy-cle parking as well as better and safer bike routes on, to and from campus. As for the future, the group hopes to continue its presence on campus and create a co-op, a place where students can regularly bring their bikes to be fixed.

I got rid of my car several months ago and haven’t really missed it. When I got the car, it was about $20 to fill up the tank. Six months later, when I sold the car, it was a little over $40. I certainly hadn’t gotten any richer in those six months.

Change comes from withinMy rent didn’t get cheaper, the price of food wasn’t reduced, tuition wasn’t scheduled to go down, and I didn’t get a raise. In fact, food and tuition got more expensive. I don’t miss

those trips to the gas station where I would pump four or five of my working hours into the gas tank. In fact, I don’t miss using the hours of my life to pay for repairs, insurance, oil or car washes either. Not that those trips to the gas station were completely profitless. I remember one day as I stood at the pump, I watched a young, scruffy man

with filthy dreadlocks walk up to the man at the next pump over. My fellow gas pumper was a big guy with lots of tat-toos and a big, black pickup truck. For some reason, the

scruffy guy decided to hit him up for some cash. “Can you spare some change?” asked the dreadlock guy. The big guy turned to him with a very hard look on his face, took a deep breath and bellowed: “Change comes from within!” Then he began to laugh. The scruffy guy slunk away

to draw water from a different well. I laughed with the big guy. I’m still laughing about it. It’s a profound piece of wisdom that popped up in an out-of-

context situation. That’s why I’m sharing it with you. Change does come from within. For example, take my decision to get rid of my car and use either a scooter or a bicycle as my primary means of transportation. This change of attitude has given me actual money. That $20 to $40 that I was spending on gas each week is no longer getting pumped

Ka LeoMISSION STATEMENT

THE DAMITIO into the gas tank. I am no lon-ger working four or five hours every week to put gas in my car. Instead, I am spending that money on other things, things I get change back from. I’m not talking about metaphorical change here. I’m talking about dimes, nickels, quarters and dollar bills. Literally, I made a deci-sion within myself to change one behavior, and, as a result, I have been rewarded with cash. Imagine if the scruffy guy with dreadlocks took the advice in the same vein. Maybe he decided to paint himself silver and pretend to be a statue in Waikīkī. In any event, I like to think that those bellowed words made a differ-ence in his life like they have in mine. If you are reading this, thank you, fierce-looking dude.

Dear Editor, During the last week of the summer semester, I stopped by Hamilton Library to drop off some books. As I approached the book drop just outside the main entrance, my olfactory system registered an assault upon my person in the form of secondhand cigarette smoke.

“That’s strange,” I thought, “After all, the University of Hawai‘i has a clear policy pro-hibiting smoking within 20 feet of the entrance or exit of any

building.” So, you can imagine my shock and dismay when I locat-ed the source of the offensive smoke coming from a uniformed security guard standing within just a few feet of the entrance and right in front of the book drop. When I asked him why

he was smoking in such close proximity to the writing on the wall that says “No smoking,” especially considering that he is paid to uphold the regula-

tion, he sneered at me and, in an aggressively mocking tone, asked, “What are you going to do about it?” It is my contention that the 20-foot rule, even if actually enforced, is inadequate to pro-tect the health and happiness of nonsmokers on campus. Moving in and out of buildings at UH Mānoa is often akin to running a gantlet, as smokers invari-ably cluster around unavoidable choke points (pun intended) just inside or outside of this 20-foot zone. The remarkable beauty of the outdoor environment of the Mānoa campus is severely compromised by this chronic behavior. I call on the administration to get serious about enforcing the current policy and to think about taking it much further, perhaps designating areas for these shameless addicts to pol-lute themselves and the environ-ment well away from the rest of us. To those smokers who will persist in their dire habit, I invoke the immortal words of the very mortal Yul Brynner: “Just don’t smoke,” to which I would add “... anywhere the hell near me.”

Whether you are an incoming freshman or a graduate student, there is one thing that you’ve probably realized: Going back to school isn’t only about buying school supplies, it’s about so much more. Here are the top 10 things that you’ve probably learned the first few weeks of school.

1. Parking is a hassle, so arrive early. We’re talking leave-your-house-at-6 a.m. early. After three months of no alarm clocks, getting out of bed has now become the hardest thing to do. By now, you’re kicking yourself for enrolling in that 8:15 a.m. BIOL 151 lab. 2. Bring lunch from home; food is expensive. You’re a col-lege student, so eating out is cost-ly. Eating on campus for a week is almost half a paycheck. The best alternative is to either pack a lunch or eat before you leave. 3. Power walk to class. You have 10 minutes to make it to your next class at Moore Hall. The problem? Your last class was in George Hall. If you have time to spare between classes and you’re tired of walking, take the Rainbow Shuttle. UH offers a free shuttle to all students, faculty, staff and visi-tors to various parts of campus. Day and night shuttles are avail-able for your convenience. 4. You need an ID. The Campus Center Ticket, Information and ID Office is the place to go. As a student, having a school ID can

be very beneficial. For new and incoming students, your first ID is free. The ID Office is open Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. It is located at the Campus Center, near Subway. Don’t forget to bring a valid photo ID. Already have an ID? Update your ID by validating it because a lot of school-provided services (i.e. the gym, buying UH football tickets) won’t accept an ID that hasn’t been validated. 5. Even taking a small purse inside the Bookstore is a has-sle. But fortunately, you’ve also learned to save one quarter as your “locker quarter,” because those helpful people that store your bag in the front weren’t there! 6. You need therapy, you need help with finding a career, you need money. Go to the Queen Liliu‘okalani Student Services Building, where you can receive help from tutors, counselors and even apply for scholarships. 7. Football season equals tail-gating – the real reason why you buy those season tickets. Tickets are located at the ticket office on Lower Campus, just outside of the Stan Sheriff Center. If you bring your validated student ID, you can purchase tickets for only $5, or visit etickethawaii.com to purchase them online. 8. Freshman 15, meet Senior 20, Grad 30 and Ph.D. 35. Thursday nights at the Varsity are starting to catch up with you. So is all that take-out food and late-night pizza. Thinking about getting fit? Stop by the Student Fitness Center located

on Lower Campus. With a valid UH ID, you have access to the bas-ketball and volleyball courts, swim-ming pool, field and the gym, all for free. The hours of the gym vary from 6 a.m. to 7:20 p.m. and 11:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. from Monday through Thursday. On Fridays, the gym runs from 6 to 9 a.m., and later from 11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays have shorter hours, from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. 9. Security can be helpful. While your ex provides insecu-rity free of charge, UH provides security for free! You can get that “celebrity” feel by calling 956-6911 and a security guard will be more than happy to assist you, especially for those who attend night classes. 10. Safety comes first! Jaywalking seems faster, but walking in a crosswalk is safer and lets you yell, “I was in the crosswalk, you asshole!” For cars, slow down! Revving your engine isn’t going to get pedestrians to walk faster, it makes them walk even slower. For your safety, and your wallet (police are even more on a rampage around UH) watch out for other pedestrians. As for bicycles and skate-boards, during the day, students are in a rush to get from one end of campus to the other, using any route possible. If you’re trying to make your way across McCarthy Mall between noon and 2 p.m., you’re going to have to fight your way through throngs of people. Walking your bike or carrying your skate-board is more safe and faster too.

10 things every UH student should know

Sushi: a word that strikes fear into the wallets of many college students. Nightmares of $100 dates and sake-induced spending sprees force many eco-nomically limited diners away from this delectable delicacy. With discipline, however, sushi can be enjoyed without applying for a second student loan. There are three important rules to enjoying sushi without spending a fortune. First, order sets (or bentos) whenever possible. I recom-mend the Spicy Ahi Love Set at I Love Sushi, which costs an affordable $5.99 plus tax. All of their sets are centered on one main item, plus one order each of California maki, potato salad and edamame. Sets are great ways to get more food at a lower cost. Second, less expensive sushi is just as filling as expen-sive sushi. I recommend the kani kama nigiri, tekka maki and ebi nigiri, all of which range from $1.50 to $2.10. The signature dish is the kimchee fried rice inari (cone sushi), an ingenious combination of two local favor-ites. I recommend ordering a Love Set and supplementing it with a la carte orders depending on your remaining hunger. Lastly, take your time and enjoy yourself. By dining lei-surely with good company, you will surely moderate your con-sumption, give the rice time to expand and avoid over-ordering, a costly mistake that is too com-mon at sushi restaurants. Sushi quality is ultimately dictated by the sushi rice. I Love Sushi serves koshihikari rice, a super-premium strain of short-grain rice bred for tra-ditional Japanese dishes. All meals are accompanied by a delicious Korean-roasted corn tea that aids with digestion.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

I Love Sushi is a B.Y.O.B. establishment. They have tables and booths that comfortably seat four people, in addition to indi-vidual seats along the conveyor belt. Its attentive staff, delicious-ly fresh sushi and genuine atten-tion to detail make I Love Sushi a definite stop for any sushi enthusiast. There is some seri-ous sushi love at I Love Sushi.

From the mind of writer/direc-tor Joss Whedon comes the newest Internet phenomenon that most consider to be the first in a new wave of Internet television. “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog” is a musical comedy that follows the adventures of Dr. Horrible, an aspiring super villain as he attempts to enter the Evil League of Evil. The entire story is done in three parts set to hilarious and sometimes catchy musical num-bers, all done on a very low budget, which shows that big bucks don’t necessarily mean good story.

Since it’s introduction to the Web, the Internet show has gar-nered a huge cult following and a new sequel is in talks.

The entire show can be seen at www.drhorrible.com.

KENT NISHIMURA • KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

Community theaters, like UH’s Kennedy Theatre, offer students a chance to view and participate in many of their productions.

By Matt YasuokaKa Leo Intern

Lights so bright that they burn their patterns into the eyes of onlookers, satin curtains, gran-diose costumes and a pit filled with musicians. The stage is flooded with an array of singers and dancers all hoping to put on a good show. But they are not trained professional singers and dancers. They are volunteers in one of the many community the-aters provided in Hawaiʻi. Community theaters provide the opportunity for people to see and participate in live theatre performances put on by the local community. “We welcome everyone to try out for plays,” said Deena Dray, managing director of Diamond Head Theatre. “People seem to think that they need to be professionals but we’re open to everyone.” Community theaters offer many kinds of productions, ranging from musicals to plays, each having their own specific audition requirements. Those who wish to audition in musi-cals generally must bring along the sheet music of the song they wish to sing or dance. For those wishing to audition for plays, the theaters will normally pro-vide scripts on site for people to read before the audition. “A lot goes into casting a part, not just talent,” Dray said. “It also depends on who has already been cast because the cast has to fit a certain picture.” Although performing in a play may sound like fun, there is a significant amount of work involved. “Keep in mind that these productions do require a major commitment of time,” Dray said. Dennis Carroll, a professor at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Department of Theatre and Dance, said that for college students who already have class-es, papers, significant others, friends, jobs and an abundance of other responsibilities, adding

theater to the mix might have a significant toll on their grades. “I think it’s not a bad thing necessarily since experience is very important, but it’s only good if you’re able to keep your grades up,” he said. Carroll suggested to try out during alternative times like summer or in between semesters when school burdens are lighter. For students who may feel that Diamond Head Theatre is too far of a commute, there is also Kennedy Theatre at UHM. According to Caroll, UH stu-

dents have the chance to audi-tion for any of the theatre’s upcoming productions, includ-ing Shakespeare’s “Macbeth.” Students can find audition announcements on the campus bulletin boards and in Ka Leo. Dray said that theater provides a fun and interest-ing way for people to express themselves. “It’s a very unique expe-rience – something you don’t get in the movies. There are no do-overs in live theater,” she said.

>>PREVIEWS

Rainbow Wahine volleyball

Outlook: Following a promising showing in the Hawaiian Airlines Wahine Volleyball Classic (losses against No. 1 Penn State 3-0, No. 6 UCLA 3-1, and a win against Ohio 3-0), the No. 11 Rainbow Wahine will now compete in the Honolulu Advertiser Volleyball Challenge. In the field includes No. 12 Minnesota, Wyoming and Cincinnati. Although Minnesota poses a threat, the Rainbow Wahine should be able to come through unscathed. With game experience under their belts, the ’Bows should be able to iron out the wrin-kles.

Prediction: Rainbow Wahine over Minnesota 3-1 and 3-0 sweeps over Wyoming and Cincinnati.

Rainbow Wahine soccer

Outlook: Rainbow Wahine went 0-2 in the OHANA Hotels & Resorts No Ka ‘Oi Tournament to open the season. This week, the ’Bows will take to the road with matches against the Drake Bulldogs and New Mexico Lobos. Drake went 7-10-2 in 2007 and has already lost three of four in 2008. New Mexico is currently 1-1-1

and finished 8-5-4 last season. The Rainbow Wahine should be able to handle Drake, but New Mexico is a tough call.

Prediction: Rainbow Wahine over Drake 2-0 and a tie with New Mexico 1-1.

>>PICKS

Warrior football:

Opponent: Weber State Wildcats (1-0) Opponent’s 2007 Record: 5-6Location: Aloha StadiumOutlook: As the Warriors open the 2008 home sched-ule, all eyes will be watching. Following a 56-10 season-opening defeat courtesy of the No. 5 Florida Gators, a win against the Weber State Wildcats will be pivotal.

Weber State, a Football Championship Subdivision school (formerly known as Division I-AA), is coming off of a 62-6 route of Montana Western, where junior running back Trevyn Smith rushed for four touch-downs and 535 yards.

Game Analysis: The Warriors will have to find their rhythm on offense (they used three quarterbacks in their season-opener), handle the ball more efficiently (six turnovers against Florida) and be more consistent on defense (they held Florida scoreless in the 1st and

4th quarters, but gave up 28 points each in the 2nd and 3rd). Although the Warriors suffered a blowout loss to Tim Tebow’s crew at the Swamp, the Wildcats are certainly not the Gators.

Prediction: Warriors over Wildcats 34-10
