UHM community invited to beautify Mo’ili’ili this Saturday UH Manoa students, faculty and staff are invited to join other community volunteers this Saturday, Oct. 1, to pick up trash, paint over graffiti and beautify historic Mo‘ili‘ili town in preparation for the tenth Annual Discover Mo‘ili‘ili Day on Saturday, Oct. 8. “This is a wonderful opportunity for the University of Hawai’i Manoa to show what good neighbors we can be,” said Interim Chancellor Denise Konan. “I encourage everyone from our campus to pitch in this Saturday to help clean up Mo‘ili‘ili and make it a safer, more pleasant place for its residents, visitors and our students.”

To participate in the clean-up, come to the new Kalo Place Mini Park, just off University Avenue across from Varsity Theatre, at the Diamond Head end of Varsity Place, between 7:30 and 8 a.m. to get gloves, instructions and free coffee. At noon, return to the park for a pau hana party that will include a mahalo chili-rice bowl and drink, and a brief ceremony to bless the city’s new park and thank volunteers. For free volunteer parking on the UHM Lower Campus, enter through the Varsity Gate (turn left from Varsity Place onto Kalo Place). The clean-up is supported by a partnership of community, government and business organizations, including the Mo‘ili‘ili Community Center, McCully-

Mo‘ili‘ili Neighborhood Board, City and County of Honolulu, State of Hawai’i, University of Hawai’i Manoa, Parents and Friends of the UH Manoa PTA, Old Town Mo‘ili‘ili Business Association, First Hawaiian Bank, Star Markets, Starbucks, AT Marketing and Hope Chapel 968. For more information, call (808) 956-9346 or (808) 258-7811.

Registration day will begin for separated families Saturday Oct. 1 begins registration day, a day adoptees and their adoptive parents are able to submit information in hopes of matching up to a birth parent. Registration day will last three days from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day.

Volunteers will be at Borders Books and Music at Ward Centre and Waikele and Borders Express at Windward Mall. The Adoption Circle of Hawai‘i will sponsor the event. The ACH provides support for the adoption triad — adoptees, birth parents and adoptive parents. Registration is open to adoptees who are 18 years of age or older, birth par-ents, adoptive parents of adoptees who are minors and others separated through divorce. The International Soundex Reunion Registry is the system used to match up information from the adoptee to birth parents. Both parties are notified immedi-ately if the information is an exact match. ACH hosts free support group meet-ings every third Thursday of each month

at Harris United Methodist Church from 6 to 8 p.m. For additional information, call 591-3834.

Na Koa ‘Aina, the Earth Warrior Club, joined the University of Hawaii’s list of Registered Independent Organizations this fall. Key goals include maintaining and enhancing the environment by conserving natural resources and promoting sustainability. Sustainability, one of their mis-sions, involves examining efficient ways of using resources without exhausting them. The club wants to encourage students to actively participate in environmental issues, not just leave them up to the experts. Laura Weiss, a graduate student in the ethnobota-ny program, said sustainability is an issue to which every person can and should contribute. “How much you drive your car, support the organic food industry and recycle are decisions we can all make that cumulatively have enor-

mous impacts on the quality of our environment and social conditions,” she said. “They affect the quality of life for us all, now and increasingly in the future.” Student members of Na Koa ‘Aina aim to enhance the modern Hawaiian philosophy of Malama ‘Aina, a concept that promotes liv-ing in harmony with both the physi-cal and cultural environment. Professor Keoli Kuoha of the Center for Hawaiian Studies said we need to work on fostering a healthier attitude toward Malama ‘Aina. “We need to recognize our con-nection, our dependence on this place around us. Our relation to the land is not just as stewards, conser-vatives or environmentalists. It’s very personal,” he said. “It’s easy to think we have no connection to the land, but land is the very source of everything we’ve got. There is absolutely a place for Malama ‘Aina in everything.”

Na Koa ‘Aina members are promoting this land connection by working on enlarging an organic garden on campus near the energy house. They hope to have the garden flourishing within a year. Members envision the garden as a source of food for students to harvest and enjoy at reasonable rates. “It’s easy to forget when every-thing is layered in concrete and asphalt,” Kuoha said. He thinks the garden is a great idea to help students remember the origin of food. “[Students] picking the fruit themselves will reinforce the origin of food. It comes from the land, not Safeway.” Cultivating the garden will take time and work, but students like Weiss plan to help out with all stages of gardening and also to help promote environmental education. “The decisions we make today determine in large part the magical Eden or blah desert of tomorrow,” said Weiss.

Dear Disgruntled Employee,

Stabbing your boss in the neck accomplishes nothing but ruining the office carpet. You’ll also be prisoned until you’re so old that you can’t remem-ber why you stabbed your boss in the first place. Not to mention that it’s just plain immoral. The obvious answer is to quit. You can find another job, one that may not have an irritat-ing boss, but you should take care in the way that you leave. Do not walk out the door with-out getting some satisfaction. First, you should calmly confront your boss and share with him or her your feelings. This takes maturity, but you should investigate the validity of your suspicions. Assuming that your boss is honest, you may find out that you were just being paranoid and you can keep the job.

If your boss is dishonest, lays down platitudes and continues to behave poorly, you should give your two weeks notice and split. You tried, they failed, next job. But don’t burn down the office on the way out. You may need a reference and you can really make your co-workers suffer for a moment of self-righteous indignation. If you can quit with some money and time to spare, you should do two things: 1) Sit on a hard rock away from digital dis-tractions and reflect on your working experience: What did you like about the job; what did you hate; why were you so unhappy with your boss; was it you? Is it possible that irritations from outside your job are making you feel desperate? 2) Look for a job and a boss you won’t hate in a week. Get referrals. Most everyone has to work, aside from the Trustafarians, who would probably benefit from

Dear Disgruntled Employee,

First of all, put down the knife — you’re making me nervous. Good job. Now, crack open a beer/brew a pot of chamomile tea/pop a Xanax — pick just one, buddy — and chill with me for a bit here. I hate to break it to you, but it seems the person with the problem is you, not your boss. My guess is your boss has picked up on that homicidal vibe you’re broadcasting and is trying to get rid of you before you break out the Hefty-bag shiv. In other words, your attitude might not be the best. Before you google “how to make a knife out of a garbage bag”, let me give you some sound advice in the form of four easy steps, any order should work: 1. Quit your job. Especially if you work

at the airport. There is too much temptation what with all the confiscated Swiss army knives, box cutters, pedicure kits and myriad other sharp doodads lying about. Seriously, if you’re working in a hostile and stressful envi-ronment, the best move is to move on. If you are otherwise unemployable and can’t leave your job, don’t worry, I’ve got 365 more words of advice for you. 2. Extreme Makeover, Attitude Edition. Have you ever asked yourself, “What’s my glitch?” I didn’t think so. Well, try it. Look beyond your annoying boss to yourself for the source of your mental malaise. What could you be doing differently to turn the tide of your boss’ opinion and make you employee of the month? I’m not suggesting you kiss butt and lose all self-respect in the process. If you are too pissed off to wipe the slate clean, just turn it into a mind

Dear Wala ‘Au,I hate this guy so much that I want to stab him in the neck. But he’s my superior. It seems like he’s trying to find a reason to fire me. What should I do?

Sincerely,

Disgruntled Employee

game. Remember: You don’t have to like your boss for your boss to like you. If you modify your attitude and behavior, your boss will follow your lead, then you can take secret plea-sure in the knowledge that you have the power to manipulate the situation any way you want. Trust me, this will make you feel better. Fool your boss, and maybe even yourself, into think-ing you’re a stand-up person, and get a raise sooner rather than later. 3. Non-confrontational con-frontation. If your behavior modi-fication goes unnoticed, take a deep breath and ask to meet with your boss privately to discuss your job performance. Don’t forget to leave the knife at home. Be cool and collected. Be open and ready for criticism. Take another deep breath. Tell your boss you’d like to improve your working relationship and ask him/her for suggestions. 4. Get help. The fact that you’re so far advanced in your homicidal state as to have envisioned the exact method by which you would like to secure your boss’ demise is a sure sign you need to A) see a psychia-trist, B) give Tom Cruise a call, or C) have your psychiatrist call Tom to book appointments for you both.

an honest day’s labor. Those kids sit-ting on the streets of Berkeley with Golden Retrievers and $500 worth of piercings don’t deserve my quarter to get drunk. They can work the same crappy jobs my friends and I have been working since high school. I worked at Starbucks for a year before putting down that steam-ing bucket of cow slop and quit slanging for a corporation that, while managing to engender typical barista snootiness, has McDonaldized the coffeehouse environment, robbing America of yet another chance to experience anything unique. After giving my two weeks notice, I burned my uniform outside the store in the presence of my manager in whose desperate and jealous eyes the flames of freedom leapt. Then a customer complained about her latte, ending our moment. My manager didn’t have my options. You need to reflect on yours, and typically, I’m still a customer of Starbucks Coffee.

Jessica Alba has yet again starred in a film that grabs men by the balls. “Into the Blue” is Sony Pictures’ new-est feature film. The trailers may mislead the gen-eral public about this movie’s genre. The trailers make this movie seem like a horror film. It was equally confusing to pinpoint the genre in the first half of the film. It felt a little like a National Geographic documentary because there were a lot of sea life shots. The last 25 minutes of the film was like an action movie. There was nonstop action including chase scenes, gun fights and explosions. “Into the Blue” combined several movie genres and spread itself too thin. It seemed like a documentary, action, horror and com-edy film. You’re either looking at pretty fish, at Alba’s butt, watching things blow up, listening to a joke, waiting for a monster or being bored. “The camera angles were kind of perverted,” movie-goer Oscar Ryan Fernando said. Filmed in the Bahamas, director John Stockwell makes good use of the locale by having his cast dress pri-marily in bathing suits. A lot of the shots were of Alba’s boobs and butt. “Into the Blue” also stars Hollywood hunk Paul Walker. This heartthrob plays a rugged seaman that takes scuba groups out to coral reefs. His attitude upsets his boss and gets him fired. Now that he is jobless, he takes his girlfriend (Alba) and goes searching for booty — pirate booty, that is. Treasure has been unearthed by the recent hurricane in the area.

The plot could have been better. It was thin and didn’t make a complete circle. Movie plots need to make a com-plete circle, a complete product. They need to be packaged. Good movies are like thick gold rings, and movies with bad, unsubstantial plots are cheap, bro-ken quarter rings. This movie was a thin gold ring. The plot was thin but there, and the cinematography was good. The pace of the film was haphazard. Stockwell meandered through the first half of the film and packed all of the con-tent in at the end. The ending of “Into the Blue” is riveting and will captivate you. The cinematography is stunning. The documentary-like shots in the begin-ning of the film reveal the picturesque and pristine ocean and wildlife, such as manta rays, coral and clown fish. The later scenes are crisp and clear. Camera angles successfully capture the action. Scenes are well-lit and pretty. Alba also starred in “Sin City,” which had a lot of crotch shots. For example: a hatchet to the balls, three gunshots to the balls and Bruce Willis actually ripping off a guy’s balls. “Into the Blue” has more of the same. Men will cringe. These scenes were amus-ing but painful. Alba is one of the biggest draws to the film, and Walker was thrown in for the ladies. Overall, I thought it was good. There is sexual content and graphic violence, which earned it a PG-13 rat-ing. I would recommend this film for University of Hawai‘i students to see with their friends, unless graphic vio-lence makes them queasy or they are petrified of sharks. Check it out in the-aters tomorrow.

This Saturday night, the University of Hawai‘i football team returns to the comfort of Aloha Stadium’s cool evening breeze and thou-sands of adoring fans. There will be no blazing sun, no 10,000 opposing fans and no Heisman candidates. Relaxing, isn’t it? As ESPN analyst Lee Corso would say, “Not so fast, my friend!” True, for Hawaii’s second home game of the season, they will not have to face the number one team in the nation. They will, however, stare down the pre-season number one in the Western Athletic Conference, a plethora of Broncos eager to buck the Warriors out of the stadium the way they did in a 69-3 blowout victory last year in Boise, Idaho.

History Hawai‘i is 2-4 (2-2 at home) all-time against Boise State. The Warriors last beat the Broncos on Sept. 18, 1999 in a 34-19 win at Aloha Stadium, prior to Boise joining the WAC. Since then, Hawai‘i has fallen in all four games to the Broncos, and has never beaten them in WAC play. Hawaii’s next best chance to beat the Broncos came in 2003, when Boise defeated Hawai‘i 28-21 at Aloha Stadium.

Broncos Outlook The words ‘losing’ and ‘Boise State’ don’t typically fit together. Boise State is 11th on the list of all-time winningest programs in NCAA history, and third in the same category since 2000. Despite the records, Boise uncharacteristically started their season 0-2. They opened with a loss to No. 6 Georgia (13-48), then fell in a game they should have won to unranked Oregon State (27-30). The Broncos regrouped when they returned to their home field to blast a good Bowling Green team 48-20. The Broncos are searching for their first WAC and road victory of the season. Boise State brings talented players on offense, defense and special teams. Offensively, junior quarterback Jared Zabransky, who was selected as the WAC preseason Offensive Player of the Year, leads the Broncos. He is on the watch list for numerous national awards, including the Maxwell, given annually to the collegiate player of the year. Coach June Jones expressed his concern about Zabransky. “He ran very well against us last year. This year, so far, he hasn’t been as effec-tive in some of the tapes I’ve watched, but we know he’s capable of doing it. I would anticipate, because we’re a big pursuit team, he’ll be a big factor in their thought process. If I’m coaching their offense, I’m going to run a lot of reverses and stuff,” he said. “They’re all good. They have an unbeliev-able running back; the quarterback had one bad game against Georgia; other than that he’s a real good football player, and they’re all good. They don’t have any bad players; their offensive line is excellent. Whatever they’re doing is good,” UH defensive coordinator Jerry Glanville said. Their offensive line is good, due in part to Daryn Colledge, a solid offensive tackle currently on the watch list for the prestigious Lombardi award, given annually to an outstanding lineman or linebacker. Colledge has started all 39 games in his career with the Broncos and has already earned a spot on the East-West Shrine all-star game at season’s end. At running back, the Broncos have explosive tailback Lee Marks, currently on the watch list for the Doak Walker award, given annually to college’s best running back. Ian Johnson joins Marks in the backfield, while junior Jerard Rabb has become Zabransky’s main target, catching 11 passes for 166 yards. Marks also handles the kick returns, already returning one for a touchdown 92 yards against Bowling Green. Defensively, the Warriors face a superior line-backer for the second straight week. Junior Korey Hall is as good as they come at the position and is in the running for numerous postseason awards, such as the Butkus award, given annually to the best

linebacker in the country. Hall has 25 tackles to lead the team, fellow senior linebacker Chris Barrios has 24, and sophomore defensive back Marty Tadman is third on the team with 22 tackles. Boise’s special teams is good as well. Punter Kyle Stringer is not currently showing up on the ranked list simply because he hasn’t punted enough times per game. Numbers alone, Stringer should be 23rd in the nation in punting.

Warriors Outlook The Warriors come off an impressive shutout win, 24-0, over the Idaho Vandals. The shutout was nice, but Idaho — although in the same state — is no Boise State. Hawai‘i will see Idaho’s best this weekend as the Broncos make their way into town. Offensively, Hawai‘i has been impressive all year long. Sophomore quarterback Colt Brennan has basically defined the word ‘efficient’ with the numbers he has been posting. Brennan threw an interception on his opening drive against Southern Cal; however, since then the transfer from Colorado has yet to throw another pick.

Brennan also earned WAC player of the week honors for last week’s performance of 33-44 for 347 yards and three touchdowns against Idaho. At receiver, freshman Davone Bess is living up to all the hype. He caught 10 catches for 106 yards and two touchdowns against Idaho. Joining him in the backfield are wideouts Ross Dickerson — the Warriors’ most experienced receiver — and Ian Sample. Freshmen Michael Washington and Ryan Grice-Mullen have each seen a lot of action and are looking impressive. The surprise weapon somewhere down the line could be freshman Andre Taylor, who, in addition to returning kicks, has seen some action at the receiver spot. He made one catch for 32 yards against Idaho. UH’s running game will likely rotate with backs Kala Latuselu, Mario Cox and Bryan Maneafaiga. Coach Jones said we may see more of Nate Ilaoa this game but did not elaborate whether he would line up in the slot or running back position, although slot is more likely. Defensively, the Warriors are coming along and getting better each week, according to

Glanville. The starting lineups are still not set in stone, although playmakers are beginning to emerge. Senior safety Landon Kafentzis will start Saturday after an impressive and hard-hitting performance against Idaho. Glanville didn’t let the aggressiveness go unnoticed. “I was pleased with the hitting. Outstanding hitting,” he said. According to Glanville, the hard hitting was the reason the Warriors were able to shut out the Vandals. Defensive end/linebacker Kila Kamakawiwo‘ole looked like a beast against the Vandals and could real-ly pose a problem to the Broncos if he repeats his performance. Kamakawiwo‘ole, a senior from Honolulu, recorded seven tack-les, including 3.5 for a loss of 20 yards, in the Warriors’ 24-0 shut-out win at Idaho. Two of his tackles for loss were quarterback sacks. He also broke up one pass. His performance earned the senior all-WAC honors — a first for Kamakawiwo‘ole. In the backfield, 6-foot junior Kenny Patton will be Hawaii’s top cornerback, while either Keao Monteilh or Ryan Keomaka is likely to see action opposite him. Lono Manners has been solid in the backfield as well. Patton has played injured all season but seems optimistic toward his current condition, saying, “I’m pretty healthy; I mean, I just got to try and heal everything up and I’ll be ready to go. It’s just one of those things; it’s a long season, you get a little nicked up, but I’m fine, 100 percent ready to go.”

Overall Outlook Boise State has been the superman of the WAC, and no team, including Hawai‘i, has found its kryptonite. The Warriors emotionally want this one bad. “It’s going to be a really good game; they’ve been WAC champs for the past three years, or something like that, and we haven’t beat them yet since I’ve been here, so I really want to. It really means a lot to us,” Patton said of the game. As far as talent, Boise State looks to have the advantage over the Warriors. Both teams are young; Boise State only has nine seniors, and only three of them are starting. If Boise executes their normal style of play and starts clicking on offense, this one could get ugly. The defense needs to pressure Hawai‘i in the backfield, other-wise they can expect big numbers from Hawaii’s passing game. On paper, Boise State holds almost every advantage. They are 0-2 on the road this year, but they have been very successful in WAC play, home or away. For the Warriors, it’s all about execution over mistakes. Glanville said, “We cut our mental errors down to 52 [at Idaho], we were 130 plus the first two games. We’re down to 52, we got to get down to 25.” Glanville also commented that this would be a true test for his defense because of Boise’s execution and shifty type of offense. How could you bet against Boise State this weekend? The Broncos are currently 30-2 all time in WAC play and are riding a 26-game WAC winning streak, which began with a victory over Hawai‘i in 2001 at Aloha Stadium. The Warriors’ one advantage is home field. In the June Jones era, Hawai‘i has won about 70 percent of its games at home, and the Warriors are a stronger team within the comfortable walls of Aloha Stadium.

‘Pack the House’ Promotion Hawai‘i wants to ‘Pack the House’ for Saturday’s matchup with three-time defending champion Boise State. The first 10,000 fans to enter the stadium will receive a free megaphone. Fans with a UH CreditBack card will receive four tickets for the price of two for the game. Tickets must be purchased in advance, and only end zone and upper level seats apply. The Warriors need strong support from fans, especially students, to give them all the opportunity of upsetting the Broncos. Kickoff is set for Saturday, Oct. 1 at 6:05 p.m. Hawai‘i time.

Disney has yet again made a truly inspiring sports story. Added to the list of underdog miracles such as “Remember the Titans” and “The Rookie” comes “The Greatest Game Ever Played.” The movie is based on the true story of 20-year-old Francis Ouimet. Coming from a work-ing-class Irish immigrant family, Ouimet broke through class barri-ers and became an American sports hero, forgotten until now. The story takes place in 1913 New England when golf was still a sport for upperclass ‘gentlemen.’ Those of lower class were never more than a caddy on the golf range, which was how Ouimet started. After dis-covering his natural, God-given tal-ent, Ouimet competed in the U.S. Open against Harry Vardon, a U.S. Open winner and six-time British Open Champion whose record still stands today. Ouimet proved that age, class and experience cannot restrict the makings of a champion. Shia LeBeouf (“Holes,” “Constantine”) as Ouimet and Stephen Dillane (“The Hours”) as Harry Vardon tee off in this David

vs. Goliath story. Directed by Bill Paxton (“Frailty”), “The Greatest Game Ever Played” is a story about battles. It’s the battle among class-es as well as underdog vs. vet-eran. Both Ouimet and Vardon, who come from working-class families, have to prove they can play with the elite as well as against each other. It is also a battle between father and son as Ouimet’s father forbids the young champion from playing the sport and instills in him that a man cannot make a life out of a game. Director Paxton shows how each battle molds Ouimet’s charac-ter from an unknown to an athlete playing to win the most prestigious competition in American golf. If anyone has ever complained that golf is a bore or a sport for the lazy, this movie will prove them wrong. “It was entertaining and they didn’t make it drag on ... they put in all the good stuff,” said UH base-ball player Derek Dupree. In “The Greatest Game Ever Played” golf is a precise, intense game where even a flinch of the wrist can bring a player from first place to fourteenth; a game where anger and frustration can erase a player’s name from the sports world. There were many climaxes where you thought Ouimet might

UH gets new track coach World-renowned track distance runner Gerry Lindgren will join the University of Hawai‘i track and field and cross country programs as an assistant coach, head coach Carmyn James announced. Lindgren takes over for Andy McInnis, inheriting the duties of leading the cross country and distance runners. Lindgren’s previous coaching experience was as a club coach for the Honolulu-based Coconut Road Runners. Considered by many to be the greatest high school distance runner of all-time, Lindgren’s track resume is i m p r e s s i v e . During his time as a high school cross country and track star in the early 1960s, Lindgren set eight world high school records and was a mem-ber of the U.S. Olympic Team at the age of 17. Among his prep records, Lindgren’s most impressive was a

13-minute 44-second 5,000 meter run, a mark that stood for 40 years and was recently broken by Oregon’s Galen Rupp. In addition, Lindgren won a 10,000 meter race in a 1964 U.S. vs. U.S.S.R. meet against two seasoned Russian runners while still attend-ing Rogers High School in Spokane, Wash. As a senior, Lindgren broke the high school mile record by six seconds and later broke the national indoor two-mile record by 49 sec-onds, a mark that still exists today. After high school, Lindgren attended Washington State University where his success continued. He won 11 NCAA championships, set 57 American records and shared a world record with Billy Mills for the six-mile with a time of 27:11.6. He also participated in numerous Amateur Athletic Union meets during track’s heyday. When Lindgren finished his run-ning career, he raced professionally for the ITA for three years during the 1970s. Since his running days Lindgren has owned a chain of retail sports stores. He has also written and published an autobiography, and was recently inducted into the National Track and Field Hall of Fame.

Disney's ‘The Greatest Game Ever Played’ is a must see

be through. As an amateur, he did not fit into the world of pro-fessional golf. But he repeatedly proved his critics wrong while working through bad strokes and overflowing pressure upon his shoulders. With support from his mother and Eddie, his 10-year-old caddie, Ouimet could strive for victory. Overall, this movie should be on everyone’s list of must-sees. It repeats the storyline that heart and determination can beat down giants. Although some people may tire of watching that, we are all underdogs in one way or another. This movie gives hope to all underdogs who feel a passion to succeed, despite the odds against them. Nobody gets tired of that feeling.

A federal judge heard arguments yesterday concerning a lawsuit in which eleven parents are suing the school board for introducing an alter-native to the theory of evolution into Pennsylvania schools. The alternative theory is called ‘intelligent design.’ This theory has been part of the Pennsylvania schools’ curriculum for about a year now. Proponents of intelligent design argue that the structure of life on earth is too advanced to have evolved through natural selection, challenging a core theory in Darwin’s book “On the Origin of Species,” a widely accept-ed scientific text. Instead, intelligent design sup-porters claim that life is the result of intervention by an ‘intelligent agent.’ The intelligent design statement that teachers in Dover, Penn., were instructed to read to their student’s states: “Because Darwin’s theory is a theory, it continues to be tested as new

evidence is discovered. The theory is not a fact.” What the intelligent design state-ment fails to note is that specific things pertaining to Darwin’s theory have indeed been proven as fact. But unlike Darwin’s theory, the specific things related to intelligent design, such as the presence of an intelligent agent, have not been and cannot be proven without introducing a faith-based perspective. The introduction of a faith-based perspective in a class-room would blur the line of separation of church and state. Intelligent design sounds more and more like creationism in sheep’s clothing and holds no more scientific fact than the story of Adam and Eve traipsing around the Garden of Eden. It is fundamental for children to be presented different views on how the universe came to be. It would be wrong to only expose them to one view. However, children’s par-ents and community church leaders should be responsible for introduc-ing arguments for religious perspec-tive on the origins of the universe. A science teacher should not.

Creationism in sheep’s clothing

Last week’s question: “How can ASUH better serve the student body during the 2005-2006 school year? What sug-gestions do you have for them? On what issues should they focus?” We received the following response: So, ASUH wants us to vote again? I suggest that ASUH first make a list of everything it has done so far. As far as I know, it has done squat. Why should we take time to vote for people who seem to do nothing? This isn’t to bash them, seeing as ASUH may actually be working hard and really helping out the students, but we — or most of us — don’t know. What has ASUH accomplished in the past several years? Not what it planned, what it is going to do, or what it is talking about doing, but what it has actually done or helped imple-ment. There should be no long, painfully boring and useless explanation about the projects or tasks regarding how it took years or semesters to get some-thing going, but just a simple list of all ASUH’s achievements, including its successes and its failures. Yes, ASUH is mentioned in Ka Leo here and there, especially when they want us to vote, but we can’t be expected to remember all the past activities it claims benefit the students. For example, was ASUH part of the attempt to make a new logo for UH, but in the end wasted thousands of dollars for something that will not be used? I assume it was partly responsible, but I don’t know. Was ASUH responsible for creating the new parking structure? Again, I am not aware, seeing that we don’t exactly know what it has done. The only thing of which I am certain is

that ASUH sponsors campus parties at ridiculous hours, which basically don’t serve the students. Who is going to come to school late at night? ASUH should post a list of accomplishments in the Ka Leo so we can see what exactly it does for the students. In addition to letting the students know what it has done, ASUH should take a poll to see why students aren’t pleased with the school. Any moron can see that the air conditioning units in the Campus Center dining facilities are in disrepair. Students have been com-plaining and using editions of Ka Leo in a futile attempt to cool themselves during lunch breaks. Perhaps a little cool air would benefit the thousands of students who use the dining facilities every week. Speaking of the Campus Center dining facilities, has anyone else noticed that the prices for a decent meal have skyrocketed ever since the cafeteria added new food suppliers? Should stu-dents be forced to look at their lunch and cry because they just spent a small fortune on one meal? Whatever hap-pened to the breakfast that was under $3, the heaping $5 pasta bowls and the noodle shop where nothing was priced over $6? In addition to the problems with the dining facilities, has anyone else noticed that some classrooms are equipped with special chairs? These chairs are sup-posed to have pull-out tables upon which to write, yet no tables exist. I’m sure people will definitely remember ASUH if they help to take care of these prob-lems.

If children really feel cheated by learning only about the Big Bang and Darwin, in regards to the origins of the universe, they always have the option of taking religious electives or attend-ing church-based schools. There are already plenty of outlets for children to learn about intelligent design that do not take place in public schools. We will probably never know the true origins of life. However, evolu-tion presents hard, factual evidence about what happened after life was set into motion. Intelligent design pres-ents no factual evidence whatsoever and has no basis in science.

Should campus security be given the authority to make arrests? Why or why not? Under what conditions?

Responses should be sent to: poll@kaleo.orgSelected responses will be printed in the Thursday, Oct. 6 issue of Ka Leo.
