KELSEY AMOS News Editor University officials issued a warning on on Sept. 15 against the resale or transfer of U-Pass stick- ers. The announcement came af- ter several instances of students selling their U-Passes on Craigslist were noticed b y the Tick- et, Information & ID Office. “What we want is for stu- dents to know that those who are issued the mandato- ry UH U-Pass, it’s issued to them. So it’s not for them to sell it or for them to give it to their friends. It has to remain on their ID,” said Sarah Yap, director of Student Union and Campus Life Services. Yap and her as- sociates began investi- gating the Craigslist postings by responding as if they were inter- ested in purchasing U-Passes, then confronting students when they met up to make the sale. The U-Passes were being advertised for between $100 and $120. “This is such a minor thing in some ways – people don’t think it’s a problem, people don’t feel bad about doing it. It’s not really a criminal act ... it’s an abuse of a privilege,” said Captain Donald Dawson of Campus Security. “What it is, is the university has negoti- ated a contract with the bus company, with the city, to say ‘okay, all students who are in Mānoa who are charged this transportation fee, which is $20, will be issued a semes- ter bus pass,’” explained Yap. She quoted the contract as saying, “The U-Pass is not transferable and not for resale, and shall be for- feited and confiscated if misused or presented for transportation by any person other than the person to whom it was issued.” Dawson speculated that stu- dents might feel entitled to sell their U-Passes because of a sense of un- fair- ness or distaste for student fees and other university expens- es. He said that these problems are perennial, noting that “last spring there was a huge problem with counter- feit parking passes.” On the consequences of this abuse, Dawson explained that re- selling a U-Pass is a student con- duct code violation, which could lead to punishments like proba- tion, community service or writing an essay. Yap added that it could also affect the perpetrator’s status as a student, depending on what other offenses a student might have committed. In addition, “names [of students who sell U-passes] are forwarded to the bus company, and it’s up to the bus company to see if they will prosecute,” said Yap. “The bottom line is ... if the abuse contin- ues, the bus com- pany will prob- ably withdraw ... it could put the deal in jeop- ardy,” said Dawson. 847 McCully St. Honolulu, HI 96826 (808)952-9253 www.motosourcehawaii.com Report MONDAY N: 0-3 ft.

The rate of youth suicide in Hawai‘i has seen an alarming up-ward trend in recent years. In an effort to combat this rise, the University of Hawai‘i’s John A. Burns School of Medicine was recently awarded $1.4 million that will be directly used by the psychiatry department over the course of a three-year project. The project will focus on pri-mary prevention and early inter-vention. The goals for this project are to increase the community’s preparedness with youth at risk, increase community awareness of suicide and expand collabora-tion throughout the state. “Obviously we want to re-duce the number of youths that are suicidal in Hawai‘i,” stated project director Deborah Goe-bert, an associate professor in the psychiatry department. Six communities who have ex-

pressed recognition of their need for suicide prevention, but lack in-formation or resources, have been chosen as the foci of the project. JABSOM will begin by evaluating these communities’ readiness to take on this challenge. The grant will support the training of individuals and groups within each community to look for signs of possible suicide, as well as what steps to take after these signs have been identifi ed. The training process will seek out those who already work with youth, such as church youth-group leaders. “My hope is that we have a pro-gram that is sustainable and tech-niques that can be used throughout the communities,” said Goebert. According to Goebert, the high rates of youth suicide in Hawai‘i can be attributed to sev-eral different factors, such as high numbers of gay youth in Hawai‘i, who are statistically at greater risk for suicide. Also at risk are youth from rural com-

munities – which comprise much of Hawai’i. There is also an in-creased risk of suicide in youth coming from military families, which are common in Hawai‘i. Goebert said, “We are not sure whether people are more likely to report or if we are actually seeing more [suicidal thought].” Another possible factor for the high rates may be the inad-equacy or ineffectiveness of exist-ing programs in Hawai‘i. “Maybe we don’t have ser-vices that are culturally appropri-ate,” stated Goebert. The Hawai‘i Department of Health’s ACCESS Line provides a team of trained and experienced professionals 24 hours a day to help in times of a mental health cri-sis. On O‘ahu, call 808-832-3100. On neighbor islands, call toll-free at 1-800-753-6879. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, 1-800-273-TALK (8255), is a free, 24-hour hotline available to anyone in emo-tional distress or a suicidal crisis.

There’s no feeling in the world that compares to the butter-fl ies, the joy and the fear of falling in love. But what happens when love inspires unexpected hate and traumatic violence? “Stop Kiss,” a one-act play by American Diana Son, opens Friday in Kennedy Theatre’s Earl Ernst Lab Theatre. It is the fi rst offering of the Department of Theatre and Dance’s fall Late Night season. The story, told in non-chronolog-ical scenes, explores the develop-ing relationship between Sara and Callie, two women living in New York, and the repercussions of an attack provoked by their fi rst kiss. Director Amanda Stone, an undergraduate theater student, proposed the show last semes-ter to the all-student Late Night selection committee. She saw a

production of the play at UC Santa Cruz that was directed by a friend. Stone said she loved her friend’s staging, but naturally couldn’t help thinking about how she’d di-rect the show, given the chance. “I was honored to be cho-sen,” she said, citing her status as an undergraduate and the quality and potential of many other proposals. In high school, Stone directed “The Laramie Project” by Moisés Kaufman, a controversial play documenting one town’s reaction to homophobia-inspired homicide. “That was when I knew theater was where I belonged,” she said. With over 30 people to choose from at auditions, Stone said she feels confi dent that she found the right match for the two female leads in the show – Karissa J. Murrell Ad-ams for Sara and Brook A. Costello for Callie. They not only had to fi t the parts, Stone explained, but have

the right chemistry. The show also has a dedicated team of technical designers, though the rules for Late Night limit the amount that can be done in terms of set design because the Lab Theatre will already be in production for the next Primetime show. Stone said her hope is for this production of “Stop Kiss” to reach outside the theater, especially to the gay community in Honolulu. “I feel people everywhere will not only connect to this story but be moved by it as well,” she wrote on her Facebook invite page. “It will move you to tears and bring you fond memories of your fi rst love.” However, Stone contends that the play isn’t all darkness and pain, especially referring to the scenes of courtship between the two girls. “It’s hilarious,” she said. The play is for mature audi-ences only. Tickets range from $5 to $10 and are sold only at the door.

ETHAN PORTER

Staff Columnist

Last Sunday was the 10th an-niversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center. Americans across the nation spent their time remembering the lives lost, and remembering how vulnerable we all felt when we watched a small group of men destroy a landmark on American soil. It was this sense of insecu-rity that led American leaders to make some changes in our lives. Because we live in Hawai‘i and have to fl y everywhere, we are all aware of the increased security measures taken by the Transportation Security Admin-istration in airports. Besides hav-ing to remove our shoes, make sure there are only 3-ounce or smaller containers of liquid in our carry-on baggage, and submit to “random” additional screenings, we also contend with occasional checked baggage searches.

These changes are far more than a travel inconvenience. The Uniting and Strength-ening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terror-ism Act of 2001 (more common-ly known as the USA PATRIOT Act) allows the Federal govern-ment to conduct roving wire-taps, search business records and further limit immigration to the United States – all in the name of national security. Ac-cording to this act, if the gov-ernment thinks you belong to a terrorist organization, or thinks you are a “lone wolf ” as per the act, your phone calls will be lis -tened to, your f inancial records will be pored over and your house can be searched. You can also be locked away indefinitely without evidence. We also can’t forget that in pursuit of the agents who caused the Sept. 11 attacks, the United States, under executive orders,

invaded Afghanistan, then Iraq, then Pakistan (although nobody seems to care about the last one). These conf licts have cost us the lives of young soldiers and billions of dollars. In the ancient Roman Repub-lic, a Consul (similar to a Presi-dent, except there were two) could be given extreme execu-tive authority when there was a threat to the security of the city. Some would say that the USA PA-TRIOT Act and other executive powers that were granted to the President shortly after 9/11 are a similar practice. The major difference is that the Consuls had to step down after one year. Earlier this year, Congress and President Barack Obama extended the USA PATRI-OT Act for four more years. According to a recent poll by the Associated Press, 51 percent of Americans feel that they have lost personal freedoms due to steps taken by the government.

As students, we expect a lot from our university, including the basic cleanliness and mainte-nance of our campus. Few envisioned that cockroach-es, leaking ceilings, droves of feral cats, and rusted, unsturdy hand-rails would become part of their col-lege experience. With the amount we spend on tuition, shouldn’t our school be better equipped to deal

with these basic issues? Hale Noelani resident Jovana Shigetani sent in this picture from her cockroach-infested apart-ment. Killing “about 20 baby cock-roaches a day,” she had waited two weeks for action to be taken, and housing services still had not sprayed her room with pesticide. The resident described the pests “crawling on our clean dishes, on all our counters – and they even crawl up on the stove when I’m cooking!” When she asked hous-

ing services if it would fumigate, it claimed it was not allowed to. “I just want something to be done!” said the annoyed resident. Many of us have experienced similar problems related to general upkeep of campus facilities or our dorms. We cannot ignore the bad “personal hygiene” of our campus.

Adderall: the academic steroid

LAUREN TSUGAWA

Reporter, The Santa Clara

© 2011 The Santa Clara

Students call it the “smarts drug,” sci-

entists call it a “cognitive enhancer”

and the law calls taking it without a

prescription or selling it to those

without a prescription a felony.

Despite this, Adderall is

still prevalent on college

campuses around the

country. The names of

the students in this

article have been

changed to protect

their privacy.

“I started

taking it

f r e s h m a n

year,” said

A a r o n .

“ We ’d

be in the lounge studying,

and I’d be like, ‘I can’t

remember all this

stuff,’ and they’d

be like, ‘Why

don’t you take

this?’”

A c -

cording to

the New

Y o r k

Times, as

many as

20 percent

of college

s t u d e n t s

have admitted

to taking Ad-

derall or similar

drugs to help them

study or write papers.

Since the

drug’s release in 1996,

circulation in high schools

and colleges has increased,

with sales more than doubling

nationwide in the past fi ve years.

Growing usage of Adderall seems

to have a desensitizing effect on stu-

dents, making it socially acceptable.

“In high school, I knew a lot of peo-

ple that did that, but I mean, they were the

kind of kids you didn’t associate with,” Carmen,

who now regularly uses Adderall, said with a laugh.

THE COSTS OF ADDERALL

Adderall is a brand-name psycho-stimulant prescribed to

counteract the effects of Attention Defi cit Hyperactivity Disorder

(ADHD), which causes inattentiveness and impulsivity. Adderall

affects the brain’s levels of dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated

with the brain’s reward center and, among other things, signifi cantly

increases one’s ability to focus for long periods of time.

When asked what taking the drug felt like, Aaron said, “I want to do

nothing but study.”See Adderall abuse, next page
