Revolution Books, an indepen-dent bookstore in Puck’s Alley, is one of the outlets that some Uni-versity of Hawai‘i at Mānoa pro-fessors order books from for their classes. The store’s operation works solely on a cooperative sys-tem, refl ective of the communist ideologies to which they promote. “Everyone who works here volunteers. Whoever has more time, gives more time. I’m here more often because right now I have more time,” said Carolyne Hadfi eld, a member of the collec-tive and a volunteer to the store. In a capitalist system, the store has not gone with out scruti-ny by the students since its open-ing in the community in 1976, when they fi rst began selling books, t-shirts, posters, as well as hosting group discussions. “We’re a political bookstore,” said Hadfi eld, who noted that, as a result, several students have gone to UH administration because professors had class texts ordered through the store. The claims usu-ally center on disdain for being “made to support communism” through students’ purchases. “If that’s the case, I’d like to see a student sue a professor for ordering their books through Borders or the UH bookstore, for supporting capitalism!” joked Mary Baker, research assistant of indigenous studies in the po-litical science department. Hadfi eld expressed her aware-ness of some of the students’ res-ervations for various reasons. “I had one customer who was in the military and had a high clear-ance, and he was afraid of what would happen to his clearance if he came into the store,” said Hadfi eld. Nicole Kim, a sophomore
art major, said the store “is very nice and helpful to the students.” She also expressed hesitation to go into the store because of its communist association. “I was kind of scared to go in, because they are communists.” At times, skeptics are surprised by what they fi nd in the store.
“I had a mother come in to buy books for her son, because she didn’t want him exposed to the store. She was a Latina wom-an, and we have lots of books (on that topic). She ended up buying more books for herself than for her son!” recalled Hadley. She added, “If people are
afraid to come in to a certain bookstore, what does that say about the community we live in?” While the store carries works by Bob Avakian, the Chairman of the Revolutionary Communist Party, as well as a weekly newspa-per titled Revolution News, they also have many books on educa-tion, sociology, drama, music, language and history. In reaction to their practices, the store has experienced break-ins and vandalism. Hadfi eld rec-ollected that after they started carrying books on reproductive rights, someone glued the store’s locks shut, threw rocks through the windows, and left a “disturb-ing” sign with a death threat. Responding to the incident, Hadfi eld said, “You have to han-dle it the way you would in a bet-ter society. If people don’t agree with you, that’s fi ne! Let’s have that conversation. That’s what ed-ucation is all about: going to the outside edges. If we don’t, then we will never solve problems.” There are counter-arguments as to the store’s place in a capital-ist country. A UHM student who wished to remain anonymous said “The irony is that if we lived in a communist regime, their store wouldn’t be allowed to exist … a store that challenges the govern-ment and status quo.” In fact, Revolution Books does not currently make a profit. While a large percentage of pur-chases are UH-based, running the business is still difficult. “Every month we lose money. The staff puts in their own money to cover the gaps … otherwise there’s no way we could possi-bly keep up with the rent,” said Hadfield. “We have people who donate to sustain us, and we have a big fundraiser once a year in November or December.”
Hadfi eld reiterated that it is not a profi table business. “We’re not here to make mon-ey … [the store] is here to reflect the kind of society we [the staff] want to live in.” Candace Fujikane, an associ-ate professor of English, orders her texts through the store. “The store is economically helpful to the students, since the store buys back books from students in my classes.” Joshua Fujino, a senior ma-joring in economics stated, “Stu-dents like the store because it ’s cheaper than UH books.” Hadfield said that the store has developed a rapport with faculty members. “We work fairly closely with the professors in the UH commu-nity,” said Hadfi eld. “We work to meet the needs of individual class-es and teachers. The ‘personal thing’ is part of us.” Fujikane recognized that the communist association with the bookstore has raised issues in the past. She states that she is open with students about the type of store Revolution Books is, and that if any students are uncomfortable then they are free to purchase the texts from Amazon.com or other bookstores, such as Borders. “I had a student whose family members were refugees from the Vietnamese communist era, and he had a problem buying books from that store,” she said. Fujikane admired that the store offers educational opportu-nities outside of books. “I like that they put together public discussions for issues that are important, different, and rel-evant,” said Fujikane. The Revolution Books’ staff recently ordered new texts on the

subject of global warming, a topic that is under increasing examina-tion in the media. They worked directly with UH faculty, as well as scientists, to get input as to which books are useful and rel-evant to the topic. Mary Baker, a research as-sistant in indigenous politics at the political science department, praised professors who order their books through Revolution Books. “There are a lot of books (at Revolution) that you can’t fi nd in other bookstores,” said Baker. “This is a business that needs our support. There, you are a person, not just a customer.” On Saturday, Sept. 11, the store will host talks by Jon Oso-rio, co-author of “The Value of Hawai‘i.” The talk will feature two other speakers who will dis-cuss issues relevant to the Hawai-ian community, such as the mili-tary and the environment. The following Saturday, Sept. 18, the store will host a “Gigantic Used Book Fundrais-er” in the hopes to raise enough money for renovation. The event
runs from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. The store’s website pleas, “If you have used books, drop them off at the store as soon as possible. We accept every type of book and we don’t censor. However, if you bring in the ‘Left Behind’ series or Gingrich’s rants, we may include a warning.” As for the future of Revolution Books, the store will continue to fund its existence as long as it can. “We want a world where prof-it is not above people,” said Had-fi eld, “I would like for students to be challenged, and question what they’ve been taught. Think criti-cally … . We are going to fi ght for it to the last, that’s for sure.”

Managing Editor In August it was discovered that the online banking account informa-tion of up to 400 students was deleted through an automatic purging sys-tem implemented by the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Cashier’s offi ce. “The University’s student ac-count online payment system is set to delete banking account in-formation for students who have not logged in to the system at least once in the past 365 days,” said Derek Siu, director of the UH Cashier’s Office. “This sys-
tem setting serves to protect students’ account information by deleting potentially outdated banking information.” The information deleted in-cludes, “bank account information, eRefund account information, and Authorized Users information.” According to the Cashier’s Of-fi ce, “This change did not affect all students. Out of over 64,000 stu-dents enrolled in our online pay-ment system, only 400 students have not logged onto our payment website in the past 365 days.” When asked about the in-convenience that this one year
time limit may cause for some students, Siu replied that, “It has been brought to our attention that some students have consid-ered this to be an inconvenience. Therefore, we are considering in-creasing the time frame in which the information will be kept, as well as other measures to mini-mize disruption to services.”
CHECK eREFUND: To ensure that student ac-count information is retained in the system, students must review their account settings, includ-ing payment profi les, as well as
authorized users via the MyUH Portal at least once per term. To accomplish this, students should use the following procedure:
Log onto their MyUH Portal 1. at www.myuh.hawaii.edu
Click on “View Charges/2. Make Payment”
Click on “Click Here to Access 3. Student Account Home Page”
From the Student Account Home Page, students should re-view their existing payment meth-ods, including eRefund accounts, update credit card information, and confi rm authorized users.

According to housing offi cials, Frear Hall dormitory houses over 800 residents. The documented numbers in print are re-cords and scribbles that fail to take into account the potential for the supernatural. You may be walking around the halls or ly-
ing down in your bed, and feel the presence of chills on your back or eyes watching you from the darkness. You may realize then that there are dead people amongst you, Frear Hall residents! There is no “scientif ic” proof of the existence of the ghosts in Frear Hall, much less the existence of ghosts in the world. There are, however, a good
amount of testimonies from trauma-tized residents. Therefore, one may speculate that there is some sort of truth to this paranormal activity. Last year, one Frear resident (who has asked to remain anonymous) told me of the most hair-raising activity in her room on the second fl oor. She claimed that her drawers had fl ung open all on their own and said she could often sense another “being” in her room. Current resident Mikie Kameoka (who dreads to even recount the expe-rience) is yet another resident to have experienced the more extreme para-normal activity. In her case, she expe-rienced a supernatural force suddenly pressing down on her. “It was like I was being choked. I couldn’t breathe,” she explains. This is actually quite a common phenomenon. Many people have recorded undergo-ing such an experience with a ghost. The spirit is commonly known as the “choking ghost.” Some joke how Frear Hall was built on a burial ground and how the “old” Frear Hall is haunted. The truth, however, is far from humorous- As
documented by the State Historic Preser-vation Division of the DLNR, “in 1996, 14 burials were encountered near the Univer-sity of Hawai‘i at Mānoa during street andwaterline improvements. Due to the high risk of disturbance from future waterline breaks and other emergency utility work, the burials were relocated to the adjacent Center for Hawaiian Studies building which was being constructed at the time.” Could those fourteen be the little dorm haunters? Or are there hundreds of more cadavers plotted beneath the building right now, with hundreds of more ghosts fl oating around resident rooms? Whatever is actu-ally going on, residents may want to make sure they’re not alone in Frear.

The advent of September means that the peak of peach season is drawing to a close, with some stores and farmers’ markets seeing the results of a bumper crop of America’s third favorite fruit. This is great news for fruit fans as they fi nd that the peach-es in their local markets could be priced to move quickly. The USDA’s National Agriculture Sta-tistics Service estimated that this year’s peach crop could approach or surpass the record-setting 2.25 billion pounds of fruit the United States produced in 2007. At least a few of those billions of pounds of peaches should make their way into your kitchen - that is, if you don’t eat them fi rst. On top of being delicious for out-of-hand eating, peaches also are versatile in the kitchen, adding depth and sweetness to both desserts and sa-vory applications. They play with strong fl avors nicely but can stand up to peppery and spicy dishes as well, especially while they are still fi rm and succulent. Unlike their plum cousins, which disintegrate into masses of rich pectin when stewed, peach-es also tend to keep their shape when cooked, making them great for pies, as any southern pie fan can tell you. Besides, pound for pound, peaches have about 20 percent fewer calories than apples, more

Dear UH Student:
Shortly after statehood 51 years ago, I traveled 5,000 miles to become a teaching assistant at the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa. Later, I received my Master’s degree in Sociology and a PhD in American Studies from UH. My experience at UH led me to a new home and a new life of service. Hawai‘i has given everything to me, including my family, friends and experiences. I have been blessed to call Hawai‘i my home and honored to have served the people of Hawai‘i as a teacher and public servant. I sincerely hope that your training and experience at the UH is equally enriching.
My love for Hawai‘i is precisely the reason I am running for Governor. I believe together we can build on the great things happening at UH to give future generations the same opportunity we had to have a quality college education right here at home.
Please vote early by mail or on Primary Election Day, Saturday, September 18. Mahalo for your consideration.

Perhaps some of America’s largest historical misconceptions center around one of the biggest confl icts in history: World War II. Some have learned about World War II by playing Call of Duty or watching Saving Private Ryan, not through academic sources.
MISCONCEPTION 1: THE ALL IES NEEDED TO LAND IN FRANCE ON D -DAY This clarifi cation is in no way an attempt to diminish the actions by the Americans, British, Cana-dians, and other allies involved in D-Day. Their efforts were heroic and admirable. However, although Stalin re-quested that the Allies establish a second front in Europe to aid Rus-sian troops, whether the D-Day landings in France were necessary is questionable. While American supplies contributed to the USSR’s war effort, it’s important to note that more than half of the German Army’s fi ghting force was in Russia. At battles such as Kursk (the largest tank battle in history), Ger-many deployed close to 1 million men, while the Russians deployed close to 2 million. Furthermore, world-war2.net estimates that Russian casualties (not including civilian combatants)
numbered approximately 13 million.
MISCONCEPTION 2: E I SENHOWER WAS THE F IRST CHOICE FOR D -DAY Some Americans may believe that Eisenhower was the fi rst pick to lead the D-Day landings. While Eisenhower would become famous for conducting the invasion, the fi rst choice was actually George Marshall. Marshall planned the landings for the invasion of Europe, and was going to be the one to over-see the invasion, but was stopped by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Roosevelt went so far as to say, “I didn’t feel I could sleep at ease if you were out of Washington,” highlighting again how prominent a role Marshall played in the war effort. Thus, the position was giv-en to Eisenhower.
MISCONCEPTION 3: THE ARMY WAS MAINLY COM-PRISED OF SOLDIERS F IGHTING EACH OTHER Americans may think that armies primarily consist of soldiers fi ghting one another. This, how-ever, is a fallacy. From World War II to the present day, it’s estimated that only 1 percent to 5 percent of the military are actually front-line troops. The rest of the military plays the role of logistical support in one form or another.

Classifi ed research could begin at UH this year after the three-year moratorium an-nounced in September 2007 ends. The Mānoa Faculty Senate has ap-proved a policy on such research that could serve as a model for UH policy. Because of the possi-bility that the Applied Research Lab (ARL) might consider “clas-sifi ed task orders” starting this fall or next spring, it is timely for faculty and the UH community to express their views before policy decisions are made. The possibility of classifi ed research at UH has been conten-tious since the University Affi liat-ed Research Center (UARC) was proposed over fi ve years ago. The UARC was subsequently called the Applied Research Lab (ARL) and was approved as a system-wide institution in September 2007 after it had been rejected by Interim Mānoa Chancellor, De-
nise Konan, in November 2005. In a Sept. 20, 2007 memo to the UH Board of Regents (BOR), Pres-ident David McClain stated that the contract for the ARL “refl ects our intention to perform no clas-sifi ed task orders during the fi rst three years.” The BOR approved the contract at its Sept. 27, 2007 meeting, but the fi nal contract was not signed until June 2008. Thus the three-year moratorium could end as early as this September. At least two task orders have been ap-proved according to an article in the Dec. 3, 2008 Ka Leo. On Nov. 14, 2007, the Mānoa Faculty Senate approved a policy on classified and proprietary re-search which would allow indi-vidual researchers to accept or reject restrictions and would pre-serve the traditional openness of academic research. In particular, this policy would prohibit clas-sified research “at any campus location under the authority and responsibility of the Mānoa Chan-cellor.” Research results which are not available for public review
would not be allowed in tenure and promotion decisions nor in students’ theses. Limits would be placed on re-strictions that could be imposed by research sponsors. Perhaps most importantly, “scholarly re-sults of proprietary, restricted, or classified research must have a reasonable expectation of timely publication.” The policy also includes a provision for a publicly accessible list of active proprietary, restricted, or clas-sified projects involving Mānoa researchers and review of such projects by the Mānoa Faculty Senate Committee on Research. Universities nationwide are facing increasing attempts by gov-ernment and other research spon-sors to impose restrictions on academic research. The current UH administration needs to adopt a clear policy which preserves the openness and academic freedom which are essential for it to serve its students and the broader com-munity. The Mānoa Faculty Sen-ate policy offers a good example.

Last week, a Mount Olive New Jersey school made news by banning the use of the D grade. Some people think that D grades are the least useful rank on the GPA scale, while others think that the D is a valuable tool for keep-ing student GPAs high. In this week’s Ka Leo Poll, we ask you the same question: Do you think UH Mānoa should keep the D grade, or should we go directly from A, B, and C to F? Vote now in our unscientifi c poll at Kaleo.org. Results of our poll will be published next Friday. This week we asked students to give us their opinions about the D grade and this is what they said:
Is keeping the D worth it?Is keeping the D worth it?MĀNOA MANAO
“I think that UH should keep the D grade because it ’s still consid-ered a passing grade for most departments in the school. A D would look better on your tran-script than an F.”
ZSAILA KAMAKA
Freshman, Food Science and Nutrition
“We should keep the D grade, most defi nitely. I don’t wanna fail so easily. I don’t like the notion of failing or not getting credit for falling in between.”
DAVID LEBOWITZ Junior, Mechanical Engineering
“I think that Mānoa should keep the D grade for people who need second chances. Sometimes they need a little bit more of a push, and so by the time they become seniors, they don’t even need the D grade. It ’s all A’s, all of them.”
ELIJAH ISAAC
Senior, Hawaiian Language
“I think, honestly, if someone is worried about getting a D in a class at a college level, they should get the hell out of school and go fi gure out what to do with their lives and not waste their time and money and everyone else’s.”
GABRIEL AUSTIN
Senior, Interdisciplinary Studies
“I think that while the D might not help you get course credit, it might help your GPA remain at a level that’s kind of not as bad as a zero F. I fear, in that position where you’re gonna get the D, I think it would be better for that person to get the D than it would to get the F just to save the amount of GPA that they can. If they’re having a bad semester, you know, things happen, so it might help those students who need that little D savior to help them not to-tally destroy their GPA.”

Play three games in fi rst road trip of season
SEAN MICHEL Senior Staff Reporter
It may be a standard expecta-tion in sports that playing at home equates a better chance of winning. But the Rainbow Wahine soc-cer team (1-3) is looking to turn that saying around as they kick off a three-game road trip today at 1:30 p.m. PST against the Univer-sity of San Francisco Dons (3-0). On Sunday, the ’Bows will face off against the University of California Golden Bears, who are ranked No. 21 despite a 1-0 -2 re-cord. They will round out the road trip on Monday against St. Mary’s College (3-0) in Moraga, Calif. Despite their 1-3 record and the task of playing three road games in six days, the Rainbow Wahine are looking forward to the opportunity the trip presents. “We’re playing a lot of tough teams this year,” senior forward Mari Punzal said. “But everyone is working hard, the people that are traveling are working hard and the people who aren’t travel-ing are working hard.” In their three losses, the Rain-bow Wahine have only lost by one goal. Punzal said playing more conistently should help them fi nd themselves on the other end of the one-goal decisions. “We would fl uctuate our level

of three consecutive tourna-ments that the ’Bows will host. The Hawaiian Airlines Wa-hine Volleyball Classic also features Michigan State, New Mexico and No. 10 USC. The ’Bows open against MSU on Friday at 7 p.m. They play New Mexico on Saturday at 7 p.m. and wrap up the tournament on Sunday with USC at 5 p.m. All matches are at the Stan Sherriff Center. The Michigan State Spar-tans, out of the Big Ten, won the MSU Showcase last weekend. Senior outside hitter Megan Shatzle leads the team with 2.89 kills per set while hitting .391. Michigan State is hitting .354 as a team to .098 for its opponents. The New Mexico Lobos went 2-1 in the MGM Elegante Lobo Classic. New Mexico defeated Pepperdine and Tulane before being swept by the Stanford Car-dinal. Junior outside hitter Kelly Williamson leads the Lobos with 3.11 kills per set. No. 10 USC captured the Luxe City Center Trojan Invita-tional title. Junior setter Kendall Bateman received the Most Valu-able Player honor after racking up a career high 66 assists and 18 digs in the Trojans’ victory on the fi nal night of the tournament against Cal State Fullerton.

of play a lot,” Punzal said. “We have to be more dynamic, we’re pretty much on train tracks right now, we are forcing it from the back to the front.” There has also been some adjusting for Punzal, who was moved to forward before the start of the year after three years
in the midfield, where she made first team all-WAC in 2008. Pun-zal has adjusted nicely, leading the team in goals (2), shots (18) and shots on goal (7). “I’m taking time to adjust but I think in time I’ll be okay,” Pun-zal said. “Our midfi elders see a lot so it makes it really easy for
me to make runs.” And if there has been one bright spot, it ’s been the defense. “(Our midfi eld) has been playing some savage defense and it fl usters other teams,” Punzal said. “So we tend to get the ball back very quickly when it goes down the middle.”

Associate Sports Editor Junior outside hitter Kanani Danielson picked up right where she left off from last season. The All-American led No. 4 Hawai‘i (3-0) to the Chevron Rainbow Wahine Invitational crown last weekend. Danielson hit .355 for three matches, accu-mulating 52 kills. “I would hate to be on the opposite side of the net as her,” sophomore middle blocker Brit-tany Hewitt said. “We don’t want to use (Dan-ielson) unless we have to,” head
coach Dave Shoji said. “If we use her too much she’ll get worn down. We’re trying to spread the sets around. But when you’re down, you better go to your best player, and she responded.” But along with Danielson, freshmen outside hitters Em-ily Hartong and Michelle Waber both made promising debuts. Hartong averaged 2.25 kills per set and Waber averaged 2.33 in their fi rst college matches. The two started all three games last weekend. “I knew (Waber) had it in her,” Shoji said. “It ’s just a mat-ter of getting her accustomed to some big blocks out there and hitting smart.” “Hartong is going to be a great player. ... I don’t know if it ’s
going to be in the middle or out-side,” Shoji said. “She just gives you another dimension.” Freshmen outside hitter Kaela Goodman, setter Mita Ui-ato and middle blocker Kristiana Tuaniga also appeared in their fi rst games as Rainbow Wahine in the tournament. “Overall as a team, we re-ally stuck together,” senior setter Dani Mafua said of the team’s play last weekend. “We were tested a lot during dif fer-ent games but we did a great job just bouncing back and coming together and really f inding that rhythm.” This week marks the second
