AUGUST 16 A staff member left a suitcase in the Hale Wainani parking lot at 8 p.m. and returned a short while later to see a gray Japanese car speeding away. A witness saw a male steal the suitcase and jump into the car. HPD is search-ing for the vehicle.

Parking officers booted and tick-eted a vehicle at the Hale Wainani parking lot after noticing the vehicle had an altered parking pass. The owner of the vehicle explained that they had only redacted the cost of the permit. Still they had to pay the $100 boot removal fee and ticket.

AUGUST 12 Campus Security Officers were called to Hale Noelani to take posses-sion of a bong. Staff had earlier con-fiscated two from a dorm room. Bongs and hookahs are among the things prohibited in campus dorms.

JULY 24 A graduate student was arrested at Hale Mānoa after a woman claimed he sexually assaulted her. He met her in Waikīkī and she went to his room. He was arrested for sexual assault IV.

JULY 17 A man fell from a second-story window at Hale Noelani and landed on a car. Witnesses reported see-ing him leaning out the window and yelling at someone. Another witness heard something hit a car and saw the man lying on the hood of a car. When Campus Security arrived they found the man on the car being attended by emergency personnel. The car’s wind-shield was broken.

The University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Hon-ors Program welcomes a new director and academic advisor to its staff this semester. Dr. Terry Hunt, faculty member from the anthropology department, is the new di-rector while Kiana Shiroma, who received a doctorate in educational administration from UH Mānoa, is the new academic ad-

visor. Hunt and Shiroma began their posi-tions in August and April, respectively. “Dr. Hunt and I are new in this position and a new chapter will be written for the program. We are coming up with ideas of how to benefi t students and how to help them succeed in college,” said Shiroma. The program has about 340 students, with about 150 new students joining the program every year. The honors program offers smaller, spe-

cialized classes, priority registration, the opportunity to dorm with fellow honors stu-dents, independent studies geared toward juniors and seniors and academic advising. “Specialized courses are courses that only include honors students and are taught by instructors who must be approved by the honors program,” said Shiroma. Shiroma believes honors students will benefi t from smaller class sizes. “When I took Religion 150 (as a UH student) the class had 300 students, but the honors course had only 20 students in it. The instructor to student ratio is a lot better.” One of the main changes in the honors program is how the honors award is based. The requirement used to be 12, 15, or 18 credits with a GPA requirement for each level. The credit requirement has changed to 12 credits minimum. “We (now) base the award on how well you do in the courses and not how many courses you take,” said Shiroma. For the honors program, there are three levels of distinction: honors, high honors, and highest honors. Honors distinction re-quires a 3.25 GPA, high honors a 3.5, and highest honors a 3.75. Selected Studies is the lower division of the program and is designed for freshmen and sophomore students. Upper Division Honors is designed for junior and senior students who usually complete a thesis as part of their studies. All students are invited to apply, as the program is an academic program and not a club or honors society. “Students who are talented and moti-vated to excel in their studies and in their everyday lives [are encouraged to apply for the program],” said Shiroma. Neal Akatsuka graduated from UHM in the spring 2010 semester. He completed his honors thesis on anti-GMO activists in Japan. Akatsuka entered the honors program as a freshman in 2005. This fall he will at-tend Harvard University to pursue a doc-torate degree in cultural anthropology. “The thesis helped prepare me and

University of Hawaiʻi admin-istrators are planning on going before the Board of Regent ’s (BOR) to recommend increasing the nonresident enrollment cap. UH administrators would like to help the current budget short-falls by taking in more revenue through non-resident applicants who pay larger tuition fees. In the face of an ailing econ-omy, UH administrators have been studying ways to help its current budget. Administra-tors see potential in solving a part of the problem by allowing a higher percentage of out-of-state applications. Nonresidents, which include mainland and international stu-dents, currently make up to 30 percent of the allotted applicants that apply to UH each year, while

the other 70 percent goes to in-state residents. According to the UH Mānoa regular tuition schedule for 2010 through 2011, the estimated cost for an undergraduate full-time resident student is $3,792 for tu-ition, while the estimated cost for an undergraduate full-time non-resident is $10,512. “Open enrol lment at Mānoa (students registered so far) is 12 ,000 as of today. Of that number, 27.7 percent are non-residents, and 72.3 percent are residents, so we’re actual ly bel low the cap amount that we are a l lowed,” sa id L inda Johnsrud, v ice president for academic plan -ning and pol icy. When asked what the cur-rent status of the proposal is, Johnsrud said that administra-tors have only made a recom-mendation to the full board.

“The BOR will need to con-sider recent numbers, and that the proposal is asking the 30 percent cap to be increased to 35 percent.” Johnsrud continued, “The BOR takes into consideration that (UHM) is a state school ... and that non-residents pay more. But no qualifi ed state applicant will be turned down in place of a nonresident applicant.” While the proposal is asking to increase Mānoa’s out-of-state undergraduate cap from 30 to 35 percent, UH Hilo is proposing for a four-year project that would al-low for a 40 percent increase. At the community college level, a 15 percent cap will remain. “I think as long as we’re re-ceiving residents vigorously, my primary concern is Hawai‘i college-bound students,” com-mented Johnsrud. “As long as our revenue goes up, we’re in the position to do both.”

A former University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa student and writer for Ka Leo O Hawaiʻi newspaper, Douglas H. Inouye, now an attorney, was granted the position of president for the UH Alumni Association (UHAA). As president, Inouye will manage alumni relations as well as aim to expand the UHA A and init iate new ways of connecting with alumni. “ T he p re s ident i s cho -s en by a vo t e o f t he B oa rd o f D i re c t or s o f t he a lu m n i a s s o c i a t ion t h rou gh a s uc -

c e s s ion p ro c e s s t ha t l a s t s s eve r a l ye a r s ,“ s a id M a rgot S ch r i re , D i re c t or o f C om -mu n ic a t ions for t he Un i ve r -s i t y o f H aw a i ‘ i Fou nda t ion . The selection process en-sures that the new president will be someone who can meet the demands of the unpaid offi ce, for the next two years. Schrire emphasized the de-mands of the position in that, “The time commitment for the position is significant given (the president’s) participation in volunteer committees on and off campus. The UHAA presi-dent is also expected to attend campus and community events

representing UHAA, including commencement, which is a great opportunity to welcome our new-est alumni. Being the volunteer president is like having another full-time job.” The UHAA website states that there are 250,000 UH alumni who reside in over eighty coun-tries around the world. With such a widespread alumni network, modern means of communication will aid in seeking donations for the coming years. “We are developing robust electronic forms of communi-cation to be more cost effective and reach a broader number of alumni and donors,” said Schri-

re. Such strategies include the utilization of electronic and so-cial media outlets. “While I am president, I hope to expand and maximize our ability to reach out to the less engaged alumni and get them to reconnect with us and their alma mater,” said Inouye in a statement. While some donors may hold off on contributions due to the economy, Schrire states that do-nations from alumni have been steady. In the 2009 Centennial Campaign, one in eight alumni donated to the university. Alumni donations come in forms such as of monetary gifts, volunteered

time, or by including UH in one’s will. Alumni gifts have a long-lasting impact on the univer-sity and its students. Schrire said that an example of this is the 2006 gift from Jay Shidler, the namesake of the College of Business, who donated $25 mil-lion to the school. “( Donat ions) increase stu -dent a id and scholarships ,” sa id Schr ire, “and a lso make renovat ions and facult y re -search possible.” In addition to Inouye as the new president, the UHAA also saw an addition of six offi cers and several members.

The Aloha Music Project (AMP) is a student-run club at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. Now in its second year, the orga-nization has already established itself as the one of the most talk-ed-about clubs on campus. AMP has hosted multiple events for the student body, and uses what it calls the Collabora-tive Arts — which is the idea of using multiple genres, media and art forms within the same event. Collaborative Arts stresses co-operation and teamwork with all people appreciating the arts; at-tempting to carry that mentality beyond AMP events and into ev-eryday life. In its fi rst year, AMP held gatherings that attracted hun-dreds of people, such as Mon-ster Melodica, which featured 10

bands of different genres, slam poetry, and live art performances including painting, glass blowing, fashion design, tattoo and body painting. Other events included Collabajam, where a diverse crowd worked on a single piece of collaborative art, and an open mic night at the dorms. All events are designed to be interactive, encouraging participation rather than passive observance. While creative events are what spawned interest in AMP on campus, they are not what makes this club unique. AMP has a cur-riculum that can be implemented at any school, and plans to expand the club into a national movement in its second year. Six other AMP chapters are currently in the works in Alaska, New Mexico, California, North Carolina and Colorado. It is the only club at

Hawai‘i is one of ten win-ners for the Race to the Top Grant, which is part of Presi-dent Obama’s economic stimulus plan. This grant rewards states for making changes to improve struggling schools. According to a media release, Governor Lingle said, “We are extremely pleased and proud that the U.S. Department of Education has approved Hawai‘i’s Race to the Top application ... . With the Race to the Top funding and the support of the U.S. Department of Education, Hawai‘i has a tre-mendous opportunity to make the systemic changes needed to raise performance in the classroom so students are prepared for college and their careers.” UH President MRC Green-wood was also quoted in a press release, saying, “I am pleased and proud to see that the federal government is making this in-vestment in education in Hawai‘i. The Race to the Top team did an excellent job in making a strong case for support. This $75 million infusion places Hawai‘i in a much better position to build a solid foundation for learning for all of its students, and it will be ex-tremely helpful as Hawai‘i works to achieve educational reforms in the coming years.”

Linda Lingle’s recent veto of HB 444, the bill recognizing gay couples as citizens worthy of civil rights, should be a wake-up call to all tolerant, open-minded residents of Hawai‘i. Your vote is important. Our state harbors an en-ergetic contingent of activist right-wingers who have been given tacit permission to hijack our social agenda by default, partly as a result of our charac-teristically low voter turnout. Apathy allows hate and intoler-ance to f lourish, and voting is the most ef fective antidote.

The U.S. Constitution con-tains provisions to protect mi-norities from the tyranny of the majority and to maintain the separation of church and state. These stipulations were f la-grantly disregarded by Lingle’s veto of the equal rights legisla-tion and are in danger of disap-pearing altogether- -not just in our state, but nationwide. The disingenuous rationale our governor gave for rejecting HB444 can be ignored. This was clearly a political gesture geared to win the approval of anti-gay zeal-ots, the faction most likely to show

up at polling booths in the future. Ironically, it is young peo-ple - the group least likely to vote - who will be most af fected in the long run by our lawmak-ers’ decisions. Those who are truly con-cerned about the world they will inherit can easily educate them-selves about the issues and take advantage of the privilege so often disregarded in this democ-racy — the opportunity to cast a vote and let your voice be heard.

As a recent UH-Mānoa grad-uate with an interest in the up-coming gubernatorial election, I fi nd the initial feedback towards the Hannemann campaign mail-ers bewildering. I received my mail earlier in the week and as I read through the facts about the two candi-dates, nothing negative came to mind in the reference to Han-nemann’s Harvard education in

contrast to Abercrombie’s Uni-versity of Hawai‘i education. As a product of the Shidler College of Business, a nationally recognized and ranked institu-tion, I can attest to the quality of education that our UH system has to offer. The media’s spin upon the whole comparison between the candidates’ choice of academic in-stitution actually prompted me to

instead consider the diligence of former Mayor Hannemann both academically and socially to have worked so hard for the opportuni-ty to attend Harvard University. How is it that we are bash-ing somebody for their hard work - do we not normally praise such things?

If there is but one god, can my god be better than your god? If we pause and look at all religions we fi nd more things in common than differences. It is also important to accept there are fundamentalists, extremists, radicals, or just plain malcon-tents associated with religions that do not represent the main-stream beliefs of each religion.

We fear things in proportion to our lack of knowledge of them. Where fear exists, wisdom can-not be present. Using a broad-brush to paint any religion does a disservice to all religions. Vali-dation of other beliefs does not mean you embrace those beliefs, only that you understand the im-portance they play in their lives. Each religion is true to its

believers. Religions serve an innate human desire to search for a deeper meaning of life. The power of whatever one calls a supreme being has been and will always reside deep within each of us; all one need do is search there.

Mayoral candidate Panos Pre-vodouros talks about how there is more to his candidacy than

just getting rid of the trainCHRIS MIKESELL

Opinions Editor

To call mayoral candidate and UH profes-sor Panos Prevodouros a single-issue candi-date is to miss the point behind his drive to-wards public office. “All along, my intent has been to really fix the city,” said the 49 -year-old civil engineer. “We can go bankrupt. Too big to fail doesn’t exist any more. Greece failed. General Mo-tors failed. California is about to fail. Hawai‘i is right there, 15 years in the future.” True, ask Prevodouros about rail and ye shall receive – he will tell you about how the rail process under former Mayor Hannemann has been less than transparent, that costs for the project are ballooning, that there are bet-ter solutions to traffic concerns. But ask Prevodouros what he will do once rail is gone and his platform changes to one cen-tered around what the city can fi x without it.

“Between 2004 and 2005 there were 364 wa-ter main breaks, an average of one a day,” said Prevodouros. “These are 12-inch pipes that can lose thousands of gallons per minute.” He points out that Honolulu’s roads are the third worst in the nation, only beating out Los Angeles and San Francisco. This on top of civil penalties in excess of $1.6 million the City and County of Honolulu is paying as the result of a settlement with the EPA stemming from poorly maintained wastewater treatment facilities. As far as Prevodouros is concerned, tax-payers aren’t getting what they are paying for, and they’re paying a lot. “We’ve degenerated into a third-rate qual-ity of life, but our taxes have gone up 150 per-cent over the last six years under Mufi Han-nemann,” said Prevodouros. “It is amazing.” Prevodouros is all about the numbers, which will please fi scally conservative voters in the upcoming special election on Sept. 18. But making the decision to run for mayor as a Republican required a more political cal-culation on his part since Prevodouros identi-fi es himself as a social moderate. Yet the answer to why he chose to become

Greg McMackin has a 13-14 record as the head coach of the Warrior football team. According to USA Today, McMackin was the highest paid WAC head coach with a $1.1 million salary.

RUSSELL TOLENTINO

Sports Editor

Warrior football head coach Greg McMack-in became the highest paid state employee in Hawai‘i when his $1.1 million salary was deter-mined in 2008. Now, in his third year of his 5 -year contract, it ’s imperative that McMackin prove his worth and lead the Warriors to success. The team was picked 5th in the coaches’ poll and 7th in the media poll of the Western Athletic Conference. This, coming after two straight mediocre seasons under McMackin, who was hired from former head coach June Jones’ coaching staff. In McMackin’s f irst season (2008) the War-riors were 7-7 and lost in the Sheraton Hawai‘i Bowl. Last year, the team posted a losing season (6 -7) and failed to qualify for a bowl game – both

f irsts since 2005. Not the best showing for the highest paid head coach in the WAC in 2009, according to USA Today. McMackin earned more last year than Boi-se State head coach Chris Petersen ($995,000), who led the school to its second BCS bowl game win last season. And many believe Petersen and Boise State, which is ranked as high as No. 3 in pre-season polls, will make a run for its third BCS appearance this year. The next highest paid WAC head coach was Fresno State’s Pat Hill ($625,000); no other in the conference made more than $400,000.

ninth and fi nal year at the University of Hawai‘i. Perhaps more disturbing than UH’s re -cent struggles is that Utah State was picked higher than UH in the coaches’ poll (4th) and Idaho and Utah State were higher in the media polls (4th and 6th). Both programs, along with New Mexico State and San Jose State have been considered among the worst in Division I-A (now known as Football Bowl Subdivision) since the cur-rent WAC membership formed in 2005. In fact, head coach Robb Akey led Idaho to a 35 -23 victory over UH last season, but only made $165,797 in 2009 – the lowest in the WAC and among the lowest in the nation. And now that Boise State will be leaving next season for the Mountain West Conference and Fresno State and Nevada for the MWC in 2012, if the WAC is still around and Hawai‘i doesn’t go independent in football, McMackin could be making triple the amount as the next

highest paid head coach, New Mexico State’s DeWayne DeWalker ($375,000). Surely, since much is given to McMack-in, much is also expected of him by the uni-versity, state and fans. After all, football is UH’s fl agship sport. And as the highest paid WAC head coach, McMackin knows he must win WAC titles and bowl games and get Hawai‘i to be -come a consistent top -25 team. Right? In its magical 2007 season, the Warrior foot-ball team reached the top of collegiate football. They competed in the BCS Allstate Sugar Bowl, Colt Brennan was a Heisman finalist, and the team won the WAC title and went un-defeated in the regular season. Three seasons later, the team’s fortunes have quickly changed. And if McMackin can’t prove his price, his salary must quickly change as well.

Chanteal Satele realized it was time to return home after two years of playing on the mainland. “I’ve always wanted to be here (Hawai‘i),” Satele said. “The ‘alo-ha spirit ’ is really powerful and I am excited to be home.” She transferred to the Uni-versity of Hawai‘i last spring and joined the Rainbow Wahine vol-leyball team. Satele, a native of Wahiawā, played her fi rst two years at Saint Mary’s College in Moraga, Calif. She helped the St. Mary’s Gaels to a 23-5 record and an NCAA Tournament bid in 2009 by aver-aging 2.58 kills per game while hitting .274 as an outside hitter. Gaels’ head coach Rob Browning saw Satele improve dramatically during her two years with his program. “Chanteal went from being a good attacker to being a great attacker,” Browning said. “She’s always had a good arm and she learned over a couple of years how to use it effectively and how to be an effi cient hitter by man-aging situations and not making too many errors.”

HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS Rainbow Wahine head coach Dave Shoji isn’t surprised that Satele, a 5-foot-10-inch junior out-side hitter, is now playing for UH. “I kind of knew that she wanted to come home. She is a local girl at heart and it was in-evitable that she came home,” Shoji said. “She’s really happy here and happy to be playing in front of her family.” Along with Shoji, senior setter Dani Mafua is also looking forward to setting Satele on the outside. “She’s very humble and a hard-worker with a heavy arm,” Mafua said. “It ’s a great addition

for her to play with us. We’re ex-cited to have her. She can really help us on the court.” Satele is penciled in as the starting right side hitter. “Hawai‘i already knows that they are getting an exceptional person. She’s a wonderful girl and we love her at St. Mary’s,” Browning said. “She will work tirelessly; you never have to ask her to work hard.” “I know she’ll keep get-ting better especially with the good coaching that they have at Hawai‘i,” he continued. In high school, Satele was a standout athlete for Word of Life Academy in Honolulu. She was a four-time letter winner in volleyball and a three-time letter winner in track and fi eld. Satele led Word of Life to an Interscholastic League of

Honolulu (ILH) Division II title in 2006 and was a two-time ILH Division II Player of the Year. Satele is also a focused student . “I’m going to major in Fam-R (family resources) and hopefully go to grad school for nursing,” she said.

LIKE MOTHER, LIKE DAUGHTER Satele credited her success on the court to the help from her mother, LeeAnn (Pestana) Satele, who played on the 1982 and ‘83 Rainbow Wahine national championship teams. Satele and her mom are Shoji’s fi rst mother-daughter duo that he has coached. “Sometimes Dave calls me the wrong name, but it ’s okay,” Satele joked. “(Chanteal) plays a lot like

her mother. It ’s amazingly simi-lar; almost identical,” Shoji said. Satele said the main thing she learned from her mother was to have confi dence. “(She taught me) to be a strong player and have a strong mind. She was really big on con-fi dence and she really helped me on that area,” Satele said. “She’s a really good role model for me.” Satele’s mother never forced her to play volleyball. “Like every parent, you just want your child to grow up and be successful in whatever they do,” her mother said. “When she was born, I didn’t say that ‘you’re going to play volleyball’. In fact, she told me when she was young, about 8 years old, that she wanted to play.” As Satele progressed, her mother always stressed the im-portance to being passionate

about the sport. “I told her to love the game, play for fun,” her mother said. “That’s all I asked her to do and she’s come to do that.”

ALL IN THE FAMILY Along with her mother, the Satele family has produced many talented athletes with ties to UH. “She comes from a very good family,” Shoji said. Her father Alvis played foot-ball for the Warriors and made the NFL. Her brother Liko is currently playing for the War-riors and her brother Brashton is currently playing for the New York Jets of the NFL. And her cousins Hercules and Samson Satele and Melila Purcell also played football for the Warriors. Despite having a hectic schedule balancing volleyball and school, Satele fi nds some free time to relax and spend time with her family. “I like to go to the beach, hang out with family and go to my brothers’ football games.” Coming from a family with an amazing reputation may seem like a burden, but Satele feels no added pressure and attributes it to her family’s support. “There’s no pressure in my fam-ily; just go out and have fun,” Satele said. “We support each other.” With the experience of win-ning two national titles, Satele’s mother feels that Chanteal has what it takes to be a part of a team that can go all the way. “I talked to her about it and said, ‘wouldn’t it be awesome if you guys won a national champi-onship and you won a trophy of your own,’” Satele’s mother said. “I hope to see her have a lot of fun and represent her state well and I’d like to see her represent her university and help them win a national championship.”
