The University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s Associated Students of the University of Hawai‘i (ASUH) will hold their fall special elections to elect new senators for current seat vacancies that represent the various colleges and schools on campus. Elections will be held from Tuesday, Sept. 21 through Tuesday, Sept. 28 on the UH Information & Services Portal (MyUH). For students looking to get in-volved with the university, ASUH offers the opportunity to repre-sent undergraduate students by helping out in the decision-mak-ing process of important issues that affect the UH Mānoa stu-dent body. Andrew Itsuno, ASUH president, points out that a result of that process is the new student U-PASS program, which enters its third semester this fall. “The U-PASS is a great exam-ple (of how senators can make a difference),” Itsuno said. “There was a student need to get afford-able transportation and now we all have the $20 pass.” Itsuno believes that when it comes to students running for a senate seat, anything is possible. “Basically, the main objective is advocating for students. The sky is the limit, you can basically do anything,” he said. According to Itsuno, the main responsibility for senators is ad-

dressing student need. “If there’s a need, we’ll advo-cate for students. They’ll also be representing a specifi c college — that’s why it ’s so important to be represented. And that’s why I en-courage students to run for their college,” said Itsuno. Though senators are elected to represent a college or school on campus, Itsuno says a senator’s seat has objectives to represent their col-lege and the student body as one. “I think it plays into both, you do want to advocate for your col-lege, but you’re doing it for both,”

said Itsuno. “We work together to advocate for the whole school, and the school they are representing.” Itsuno would like to promote stu-dent voting during the week of Sept. 21. “I encourage the student body to get involved, but to also partake in elections. Getting in-volved should be looked at as a civil responsibility, and getting involved makes for a better com-munity,” said Itsuno. ASUH holds special elections at the beginning of each semester to fi ll vacancies in the senate that occur when students leave at the

end of a semester. Elections occur three times a year, with a general election taking place once a year during the spring semester, when all seats are open for election. In order for a student to run, he or she must be a full time (12 or more credits) undergraduate student at UH Mānoa, and have a cumulative GPA of at least a 2.0. Interested can-didates should obtain an application packet at the ASUH offi ce, located in Campus Center 211A. As part of the process, candi-dates must obtain 25 signatures from students in their college. How-

ever, candidates who are running in colleges or schools with a smaller student population may bypass this requirement by being directly nom-inated on the senate fl oor. To learn more about ASUH and what seats are up for this election, visit their website at http://asuh.ha-waii.edu. Student packets were due Tuesday, Sept. 7 at the ASUH offi ce. Contact ASUH at asuh@ha-waii.edu or by phone at (808) 956 -4822. ASUH off ice hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

ASUH PARTIAL TUIT ION AWARDS FOR FALL 2010 Applications for awards up to $1,000 are available in the ASUH office, Campus Center 211A.

Those who receive financial aid are encouraged to meet with a financial aid advisor to determine if the award will affect aid. Applications are due at 4:00 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 24. ASUH senators, past and present, and ASUH staff are ineligible to apply.

A short walking dis-tance from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa is a restaurant called The Fat Greek. Though it’s small in size, it ’s big in fl avor. “We basically just use all fresh ingredients and everything is made from scratch daily,” said manager Greg Derham. Capturing the es-sence of Mediterranean cuisine, The Fat Greek is a place to eat on the go for UH students. Though it is technically a restaurant, they oper-ate more like a fast food joint - but this fast food is healthier than most. They may have named themselves af ter a fat Greek, but there’s hardly any-thing about this place that will make you fat , except possibly eating too much of their honey-drizzled baklava. This joint ’s food is not only healthy, it ’s also naturally deli-cious. The food here is rich with

old-fashioned spices and the nutrition most modern fast food seems to have lost. As Derham points out, “We

don’t use fl avor enhancers, and we only use healthy ingredients, like pure olive oil ... fresh garlic, fresh lemon juice.” The menu offers meaty dishes such as the shawarma and the tra-ditional souvlaki. The savory beef and lamb shawarma, for example, is wrapped up in a warm and thick

pita loaf that is unlike any typical grocery store brand. The infusion of the herbs and spices gives it that extra edge. The meat in every dish

is tender and juicy. Some plates are portioned generously, and many entrees come with a fresh garden salad. For hungrier men and women, the King’s Platter will give you a sampling of many differ-ent dishes The Fat Greek has to offer. The King’s Platter includes chicken, fi sh, and lamb souvlaki meat, gyros, falafel, sha-warma, garlic shrimp, pita bread, tzatziki and house hot sauces. But as great as their meaty dishes are, there are plenty of veg-etarian options as well.

From the baked spanakopita to the feta cheese with Greek olives, the vegetarian dishes will surely knock you out of your toga. So the next t ime you’re al -most broke and feel ing hungry, go to The Fat Greek for some af fordably homemade food “ l ike Papa used to make.”

Join us for Sunday worship 9 am (time will change to 10 am on September 12).

Fellowship hour immediately follows worship and always features ono food. Small groups starting this fall. We are the church behind Starbucks across E. Manoa Road from the Manoa Market Place.

With classes back in ses-sion, students nationwide are at-tempting to pry themselves out of bed to little avail. But when it’s time to awaken, it ’s best not to “abuse the snooze.” Clocky, an alarm clock with functioning wheels, will ensure that you’re up and alert in time for that 8:30 a.m. class. Designed and created by M.I.T. graduate student Guari Nanda, Clocky is an alarm clock with a twist. Knowing that students hit the snooze button over and over again with no intention of getting up, Nanda designed Clocky to roll off your night-stand and scamper away in order to force you to get out of bed to shut it off.

“It all started because I like my sleep,” said Nanda in an interview with CNBC. “I can never get out of bed on time and so for me, I just needed a physical way to drag me out of bed and Clocky was the fi rst thing that came into my mind.” If students fi nd themselves hitting the snooze button more than once, Clocky will automati-cally trigger its wheels and roll off to a safe distance while emit-ting shrill alarm beeps that are refl ective of R2-D2. Drowsy stu-dents can either rub the sleep out of their eyes and hunt Clocky to turn it off, or slam their pillow over their heads in an attempt to drown out the jarring cacophony. “The idea is you never know where it’s going to go,” said Nan-da in her interview. “You have to get out of bed and look for it and in that process you wake up.”

Users can set their single-use snooze time between 0-9 minutes. If users opt for no snooze prefer-ence, Clocky will automatically start rolling away immediately with no snooze-usage. For folks who like the more conventional alarm clock style, users are able to disable Clocky’s wheels so that it re-mains stationary when it goes off. Due to its smaller size, Clocky is able to roll off heights of up to 3 feet, roll around freely on both wood and carpet, and comes in a variety of colors.

Ethan Porter: What is the role of the gov-ernor inside of the state gov-ernment?

Neil Abercrombie: The governor should be a catalyst. The object, at least this seems to me, of any gover-nor should be to disappear. To provide leadership as opposed to managership. This election really is a ref-erendum on leadership: having a vision for the future, not being caught in the status quo or the business as usual, particularly political business as usual with regards to the university. The governor has an obligation, it seems to me, as well as an oppor-tunity to be the medium through which the capacity to think criti-cally and act on our creative ca-pacities is carried forward.

E.P.: We at UH are feeling the crunch of budget cuts: teach-ers are being let go, class sizes are increasing, and tuition is getting higher every year. As governor, how do you plan on helping the University?

N.A.: I’m glad you put it in terms of the budget because you’re mak-ing my case for me. The way we’re going at this is completely back-wards. You don’t start with a bud-get and then what you’re going to cut or not cut. You start with your basic values and your values lead you to your priorities. Once your values and priorities are estab-lished, then your programmatic outcomes or programmatic av-enue will become clear. Why not use the technology; the hardware and the software that’s out there right now to com-pletely redefine the way we teach?

And what we teach, and when we teach it? When I first came to the university, it was statehood (1959) and we were on a six-day week. Why aren’t we on a seven-day week? Why are we on weeks at all? Why do we not have hours and times and offerings of class-es that meet the modern world? Fifty years ago, people went to school for four years and graduat-ed. How many people go to school for four years and graduate right now? Not very many. My first thought is, I take the budget as it is; I’m not going to ask the Legislature for a dime more. You’re not going to see me whining and weeping in public about how there’s not enough money. You take whatever the money is and you spend it effi-ciently and effectively, and the way you get efficiency and effec-tiveness is you figure out what your mission is, what your values are, what priorities do you have

associated with that. In instruction the priority is the education, the capacity to think critically, and the priority is to facilitate instruction.

E.P.: What is the biggest prob-lem facing Hawai‘i today?

N.A: Education. I don’t see it as a problem so much as I see it as a challenge. And I’m not trying to be cute with you, of course. Say-ing that it ’s a problem, it ’s as if you’re here and it ’s over there, whereas if it ’s a challenge, it ’s with you. And that’s why I think that education and preparing peo-ple for the 21st century in terms of the critical thinking skills they’re going to need. It ’s crucial to whether or not we’re going to be able to keep people in the islands with-out having to leave the islands

in order to pursue any dreams they might have of ut i l izing their ful l capacity.

E.P.: Where do you see the State of Hawai‘i in four years, so by the next election? N.A.: Starting November 3, in four years, we have to have restored public confi dence in education, pre-K through post-graduate. We need to be visibly on our way to energy independence, environ-mental sustainability with regard to our infrastructure and our fl ora and fauna, water, land issues. Food security, importing less food, what I consider an agriculture renais-sance, and a complete redirection away from a plantation mentality. (Headed) toward entrepreneurial niche-farming that provided realis-tic opportunities for young people to go into farming as a business.

Ethan’s interviews are part of a three-part series including inter-views with Mufi Hannemann and James “Duke” Aiona.

Deny students their shipping options at your own peril. That ’s what 20 on-campus apartment residents took 90 minutes to communicate to their residence directors last Wednes-day in an apartment community council meeting. The rule apartment resi-dents were protesting, which stipulated that apartment resi-dents were unable to accept any private carrier packages

through the front desk by sign-ing the waiver form available to all other dorm residents, came as a surprise to many students.

The policy itself, however, is several years old. Nick Sweeton, Associate Director of Student Housing Services, confi rmed that the rule in question has been on the books since before he came into the department in 2009. It was just being enforced incon-sistently until the merger of Hale Wainani and Hale Noelani into a single complex this semester. Apartment residents should give the Housing team credit – when the policy began being enforced in earnest at the begin-ning of the semester, Housing decided to hold last week’s feed-back meeting in response to stu-dent complaints. And it only took Student Housing Services half a day to an-

Hale Noelani Assistant Residence Director and Psychology graduate student Kathleen Tran fi elds apartment resident concerns about package policy at a community council meeting in the Wailani Resource Center on Sept. 1. The resource center, set up in the former Wainani F lounge, houses events specifi cally tailored to apartment residents.

DONʼT FORGET THE FORM

Beginning today, Hale Noelani and Hale Wainani residents can sign a waiv-er form at the Wailani Community Desk on the ground floor of the Noelani C building to enable the front desk to be able to accept packages from private car-riers on their behalf. SHS anticipates that they will be able to begin accepting private carrier packages on September 13. See Dorm shipping, next page

nounce via e-mail that the policy was going to be reversed. Imag-ine if every department on cam-pus were that responsive. There are, however, other lessons to be learned from last Wednesday’s meeting. What ended up being more surprising than the sudden en-forcement of an existing, yet large-ly ignored, policy, was that student employees fi elding questions from residents that night seemed help-less to do anything about it. The RAs and residence directors in attendance were just as surprised as the students. According to the residence directors fi elding student concerns last week, they had only received notice of the change of en-forcement a week before move-ins. Also, as student employees, they weren’t authorized to speak on behalf

of the University, yet they were being subjected to questions from students who felt – and justifi ably so – that they were entitled to answers about who made the decision to stop their UPS and FedEx packages, and why. To their credit, Housing’s stu-dent representatives were at least able to articulate to residents the fact that they were able to do little to fi x the situation other than take notes and fi le a report. But that left students at the meeting feel-ing like it was more of a dead end than a forum for student input. Other campus departments can learn more from that commu-nity council meeting besides stu-dents’ choice of shippers. If other departments want to commit to taking student feedback seriously, they not only need to act as quickly as Housing did but they also need

to ensure that they have an offi cial voice at meetings so that students have someone that can be held ac-countable for getting results. Without it, students aren’t getting the entire package.

percent) in the lower G and F levels, and Les Murakami Stadi-um with 225 seats (5.2 percent) for students. If a student attended each home baseball game at $5 per ticket (last season’s cost), the ac-cumulated ticket cost would be over $150 for the season. With the $50 athletic fee students will save approximately $100 just on baseball games alone. Seats are first come, first served. Students will have their validated ID scanned at entranc-es and must have them available for reoccurring validation in student sections. “Our hope is that student at-tendance will rise with the conve-nience of being able to enter the game simply by showing valid identifi cation,” Clapp said. But there are some drawbacks.

Students are not permitted to save seats, and they will not be permitted back into the sta-dium if they exit. This could force students to get to games earlier than they would if they had secured a seat with a ticket, or end tailgating sooner in order to get a seat. Questions dealing with how the games might become more chaotic due to increased stu-dent attendance have also been voiced. Clapp said the concern would be addressed. “Our plans include provid-ing additional ushers in the student seating area to assist students with locating the avail-able seats and to address any issues,” Clapp said. “We expect that students will continue to demonstrate aloha when attend-ing athletic events.”

Irvine (2-3) on Thursday and San Di-ego State (5-1) on Friday. All match-es are at 7 p.m. at the Stan Sheriff Center. Both the other schools have local connections as well. San Diego State is led by for-mer Rainbow Wahine All-Amer-ican Deitre Collins-Parker, who is in her fi rst season as the head coach of the Aztecs. Collins-Parker led Hawai‘i to two consecutive national titles in 1982 and ’83 and was one of six players named to the NCAA Women’s Volleyball 25th anniversary team in 2005. For UC Irvine, senior outside hitter Larissa Nordyke (Punahou ’07) leads the team in kills with 40. Senior outside hitter Kari Pestole-si’s parents, Tom and Diane (Se-bastian), both played volleyball at UH in the 1980s under head coach Dave Shoji, who also coached the men’s team from 1978 to ’85. The Aztecs’ only loss is to Western Athletic Conference member Utah State and UC Irvine is coming off of straight set losses against Stanford and Marquette. Hawai‘i is looking to rebound from a fi ve-set loss to No. 8 USC last Sunday. The Rainbow Wahine know that they need to tighten up their play to win. “Just to give it our all every point,” said sophomore middle blocker Brit-tany Hewitt. “Can’t let up and (we need to) keep the energy high.” Senior libero Elizabeth Ka‘aihue is hopeful for their up-coming play. “I’m looking forward for an-other tournament because I know we’re getting better,” Ka‘aihue said. The ’Bows played fi ve fresh-men last weekend and Shoji is still deciding whether or not to con-tinue with his young lineup. “We’re awfully young out there,” Shoji said. “I’m not sure if we’re a top ten team if we’re playing four fresh-men at the same time. So that’s the real dilemma. If we go young we could be good at the end but it won’t be pretty for a long time.”

Almost all University of Hawai‘i home games will be free for the rest of the fall semester to a select amount of UH Mānoa students with validated IDs. The policy goes into ef-fect Thursday, Sept. 23, when the Rainbow Wahine volleyball team plays Utah State at the Stan Sheriff Center. “It’s for our students to benefi t from a strong, visible sports pro-gram that enhances UH Mānoa’s image (and) encourages greater student participation in athletic events,” said associate athletics di-rector Carl Clapp in an interview. On July 15, the UH Board of Regents approved a mandatory $50 student athletics fee for the Spring 2011 semester to all UH Mānoa students. With the fee, students next semester will have admission to all UH home games in the spring without having to purchase tickets. Although there was no ath-letics fee for Fall 2010, the rest of the semester’s free admission was implemented to see how the new system works. Free admission does not in-clude NCAA postseason play or the Hawaiian Airlines Diamond Head Classic hosted by the men’s basketball team.

STUDENT REACTIONS Some students have ex-pressed mixed feelings on the next semester’s mandatory fee. “I feel as though the school did try to keep the new fee under wraps, enacting this policy when the majority of the student body was not in school or off-island be-cause of summer,” said Nicholas Seymour, a senior. Others see benefi ts. “Everyone has to pay for it,

but it ’s a good idea because it gives every student the same opportunities to attend games,” said junior anthropology major Andrew Rogers. Rogers also said he would attend more games this semes-ter and next. “It ’s pretty much a given now, no reason not to go with free ad-mission,” he said. “I feel like this will be great for the athletic de-partment. It will get more people to games which in turn will make it more fun to be at.” Senior Thomas Cosgrove said, “More students will try to attend games now that they don’t have to pay for tickets. With free admis-sion, students who have to work and pay bills don’t have to worry about spending money on games.” And despite his opinion on how the athletics fee was passed, Seymour acknowledged some benefits. “The new policy could in-crease attendance as well as pos-sibly spike UH pride among the student body,” Seymour said. Clapp noted another pos-sible benefit. “Our student athletes appre-ciate the support of our students and the energy they bring to an athletic venue. Student atten-dance is very important in cre-ating a home fi eld, court advan-tage,” Clapp said.

HOW IT WORKS According to Clapp, the pur-pose for the student athletic fee is to eliminate ticket costs for seats allocated to students to at-tend home contests and increase campus spirit. Aloha Stadium has reserved approximately 5,000 seats (10 percent of the stadium), the Stan Sheriff Center with 515 seats (5

Junior outside hitter Chanteal Satele will see familiar faces across the net this weekend. Satele transferred to the University of Hawai‘i from Saint Mary’s College (SMC), in Moraga, Calif., last spring. On Saturday, the Rainbow Wahine will play SMC (5-2) in the fi nal day of the Verizon Wireless Volleyball Challenge. “We’re always excited. It ’s

fun to play at the Stan Sheriff Center,” said SMC head coach Rob Browning. “The Hawaiian fans are fantastic. They’re great supporters of their program, but they’re also gracious hosts and we like to play good teams”. Senior Kapua Kamana’o (Iolani ’07), the younger sister of former Rainbow Wahine All-American setter Kanoe Kamana’o-Kaaihue, is SMC’s setter this season. Last season, senior Megan Burton (Io-lani ’06) was the school’s starting

middle blocker. “We love the connection we have with Hawai‘i,” Browning said. SMC began the season ranked No. 25, but fell out of the polls following losses to Long Beach State and UCLA. “We want to see where we measure up against the best and Hawai‘i is one of the best,” Browning said. No. 6 Hawai‘i opens with UC
