MICHAEL BRUNO PROVOST | UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I AT MĀNOA

Warm greetings to our new students and families as we welcome all to the flagship of the University of Hawai‘ i 10-campus system. Located in Mānoa Valley, in the ahupua‘a of Waikīkī, in the moku of Kona, on the mokupuni of O‘ahu, in the pae ‘āina of Hawai‘i, and in the center of the dynamic Pacific region, UH Mānoa has the opportunity to learn from the Native Hawaiian knowledge of this place and to benefit from a vast array of backgrounds and life experiences. We continue to seek ways to learn from that diversity to enhance student academic success, growth and development. We are proud to be regularly ranked among the best colleges and universities in the world. This recognition matters, because it reflects the strength of our faculty’s academic and research prowess, which together promote student learning.

The Mānoa campus has recently been recognized as the most diverse, public Research I campus of higher education in the nation. In addition to our ethnic and cultural diversity, we also seek to celebrate the diversity of experiences and opinions of our campus community. Throughout your college career, we want you to expose yourself to ideas, concepts, and knowledge to which you had no connection prior to your arrival.

Get to know other students, faculty, and staff who hold different world views than you do. Attend an event you know little about to learn more. Listen. Engage.

Think. Question. Contribute. Encourage others to do the same.

As we start a new academic year, we recognize that there are many of our own students and faculty who are gathered on Maunakea on Hawai‘i Island in protest to the proposed Thirty Meter Telescope. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with the concerns on all sides of this issue and to learn all you can about Hawai‘ i, its history, and culture.

On news and events regarding our campus, keep up-to-date by regularly reading Ka Leo O Hawai‘i campus newspaper and checking our website at https:// manoa.hawaii.edu. We also invite you to follow us on Facebook @uhmanoa, Twitter @UHManoa and Instagram @uhmanoanews.

As our campus strives every day to advance knowledge and understanding, and to respond to the challenges and opportunities afforded us in Hawai‘ i, I personally convey my deepest hope that your journey toward academic and life success is satisfying and memorable. Welcome to our UH Mānoa family.

LANDON LI PRESIDENT | 107TH SENATE ASUH Aloha Fellow UH Mānoa Undergraduates!

My name is Landon Li, and I am serving as your Associated Students of the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa (ASUH) President for 2019-2020 year. Congratulations to all new students for joining the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa community, and welcome back to all returning students. ASUH is the Undergraduate Studentbody Government for UH Mānoa and we are currently in our 107th year of serving the over 10,000 full-time undergraduates at Mānoa.

The ASUH is comprised of executive members and college senators, whom together represent the undergraduate population as a whole, and by each school and college of our University. Our vision is to empower students through advocacy. We want to listen to your ideas and concerns, and be the voice to bring them to the attention of campus officials, UH administration, and the State Legislature. Some recent ASUH partnerships/projects we have done include negotiating the UPass every 2 years, opening the Food Vault in Hemenway, and fighting back the operational hour cuts to Sinclair Library. Decisions that directly impact us students should be heard by the students, and we, the ASUH, will fight and work hard to enhance the undergraduate academic and student experience through

our advocacy. Whether it is providing funding, awarding scholarships and awards, formulating resolutions, and consulting all groups on campus, we are here to advocate for you.

I have been involved with the ASUH for three years and it is my passion and mission to serve the student body of UH Mānoa. As President of the ASUH, I will ensure that students will have a seat at the table when vital discussions are taking place regarding campus operations and us students. If you ever have questions, concerns, or would like to meet myself and members of the Senate, we are located in Campus Center Room 211A or email us at asuh@hawaii.edu.

One piece of advice I would like to impart is to get involved! College is more than just academics, it is a whole community and experience, seize the moment and join a club, meet new people, and get the full college experience. If you are interested in getting involved with the ASUH feel free to email us! I look forward to seeing you all around campus and wish you the best of luck as you either begin your journey at Mānoa or are continuing it. .

Have a great year, and congratulations to your time here at UH Mānoa!

Mānoa Advising Center Laying the foundation toward a major KAILANIANNA ABLOG OPINIONS EDITOR

The University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa offers over 200 degree programs to its students, according to its main website. With various pathways, students may have trouble finding out which major best fits them or navigating a major program’s prerequisites. Thankfully, UH Mānoa offers resources to aid its community in finding what benefits their academic journey, one of which is the Mānoa Advising Center.

WHAT IS THE MĀNOA ADVISING CENTER?

According to its official website, the Mānoa Advising Center, located in Room 101 of the Queen Lili‘uokalani Center for Student Services, aims to “assist students in selecting a major that best fits their interests, abilities, and goals,” and “provide advising support for them until they can declare or enter their major.” These services are offered to students who are exploratory or a select pre-major.

Diana Thompson is an academic adviser and junior specialist for the Mānoa Advising Center. In an email interview, she mentioned that MAC supports students by providing the opportunity to find what major is the best fit and guidance toward additional resources for their academic journey.

“We are for the students who aren’t feeling certain about which direction to go, or who know where they want to go but aren’t totally certain of how to get there,” Thompson said. “We also refer students to other important resources on campus, tailored to each individual student’s needs.”

have special circumstances that prevent an in-person meeting.

For exploratory students, their mandatory advising requirement can be fulfilled through options that MAC offers.

“Options are designed to help students progress in their academic journey and include advising appointments with us, appointments with other offices on campus, and workshops, too,” Thompson said. “Mandatory Advising can look different for different advising offices, so it’s important that students know which office is right for them, and what that office’s rules are.”

SCHEDULING AN APPOINTMENT

SETTING THE STEPPING STONES: THE ADVISING SESSION

The Mānoa Advising Center provides same-day or next-day appointments. To schedule a meeting with an advisor, students can visit the MAC office or contact them via phone. If an individual cannot meet their scheduled time, they must cancel or reschedule. According to MAC’s website, phone advising is also available for those who

While each student’s experience will differ depending on their academic plan, appointments are meant to help a student advance in their academic journey.

“Appointments will involve a lot of us laying out options, and the student making the final call. We believe students are in the driver’s

seat in their own academic journey. We just tell them which roads are available, and where those roads might lead,” Thompson said.

“We’ll also help with things like GPA calculations, and other scenario-based planning to help a student be better prepared for the semester ahead.”

KNOWING WHAT IS AVAILABLE

Whether they are at MAC or another advising center on campus, Thompson believes that incoming and prospective students’ advisers are there for them.

“I think the most important thing that incoming and prospective students should know is that academic advisors are here for them. There are over 20 advising offices on campus, each serving a different group of students, and every student has at least one academic advisor, if not more,” Thompson said. “Advisors are also usually available yearround, not just in Fall and Spring semesters. Connect early, and rest assured that we’re all very friendly and want to see you succeed.”

For students that are not sure who their advisors are, Thompson recommends “The Advising Guide,” an online resource that helps users figure out who to go to for advising.

“Information on the website includes an advising office’s location, email address, phone number, and hours of operation. To learn the best way to contact your advisor, be sure to visit the Advising Guide,” Thompson said.

You may find the link to The Advising Guide below.

WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE NEW STUDENTS?

UPPERCLASSMEN’S TIPS FOR NEW STUDENTS STARTING THEIR COLLEGE JOURNEY DORIS KUNG | FEATURES EDITOR

Work hard. Everyone has to know partying is an option and partying is that whole social triangle. Everyone knows that partying is a part of college but it’s not. There’s nothing to hide, but if you choose partying over studying you’re that type of person and there’s other people who choose studying over partying and they’re that type of person. So, you kind of choose your own path by your actions.

ALDRIN BRILLANTE Senior, Computer Science & Communicology

Stay focused. Keep your head on your shoulders. Be balanced, be happy, make sure you’re taking care of yourself but also like your passion and what’s important to life and hold on to it.

AYANNA BEDARD Junior, Archaeology

I think that first before you come here, you have to know English better. Second, you have to meet a lot of local students or American students or cross-cultural background students. If you just hang out with your friends in your own country, it’s not that good. That’s for UH life. For academic, you have to communicate more with your professor or adviser to see how to select perfect courses and research.

Navigating through STAR with ease

 CHAVONNIE RAMOS / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

GENEVA DIAZ INTERIM NEWS EDITOR

STAR: “Your Guided Pathway to Graduation,” is the first thing noticed on the University of Hawai‘i System GPS Registration website.

A short video in the background is played of people exploring, working and learning.

Once logged in with a UH ID and password, students gain access to multiple options such as viewing courses needed to graduate in a timely manner and personalizing a plan to fit everyone’s college experience.

For the past year, STAR team members have been making videos on YouTube to help students

better understand and navigate the website.

“In addition to navigating through your classes and looking up past transcripts from semester or department, STAR has a new helpful resource through a Youtube channel created by us,” Phil Sequeira, computer science major and team member at STAR, said.

The page includes one- to two-minute episodes that give helpful hints on how to navigate through STAR and answer frequently asked questions.

“The number one FAQ item by far was about holds... Holds come in many forms and there was a lot of confusion surrounding them,” Sequeira said.

The first episode posted on STAR’s Instagram and YouTube was about handling holds which brought FAQ emails concerning these issues down significantly in the STAR Help inbox.

The most recent video posted on Friday, Aug. 2 was about the “What if Journey” tab located on a student’s STAR homepage.

“People don’t know really what it’s about,” Sequeira said. “But it’s a way to delve into other majors you could go with and explore other options before making any hasty decisions with officially changing your major.”

This feature takes a look at the program or major selected and takes all of the classes that a stu-

dent has already taken and works it all out into a new plan.

Sequeira has been working on the social media platforms and making “STAR Coaches” episodes to make students’ lives a little less stressful.

“It’s really satisfying to help students get through registration as easily as possible,” he said. “I know people are probably not going to sit down with a bag of popcorn to binge my videos for fun, but I take a lot of pride in making them better every episode.”

In the future, in order to reach more followers and make the episodes more accessible, Sequeira suggested integrating the videos directly onto the STAR interface

itself. For example, when clicking the View Holds tab, the “HOLDS” episode would be displayed along with details of which office placed a hold on your account.

If students have any trouble with STAR, search for a video on the subject and contact STAR Help.

Breaking down General Education requirements CASSIE ORDONIO MANAGING EDITOR

Transferring to a university may seem scary at first if you just graduated high school or are transferring from a community college, but it can be an exciting experience.

New students are encouraged to seek advising specific to their major, but first they will receive advising on general education requirements from their college or high school. Out-of-state students are encouraged to call their college or high school advising offices.

All University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa students, including out-of-state and international, are expected to fulfill the general education requirements as part of their bachelor’s degree.

The motto is “15 to Finish,” which is a system-wide initiative that encourages students to take 15 credits per semester to graduate on time. UH Mānoa requires 120 credits minimum to graduate, which would take eight semesters if following the 15 to Finish plan.

For students who want to double major, graduation rates vary. Students should speak with an academic adviser from the major selected.

Academic advising is mandatory when attending UH Mānoa.

How to use your Mānoa One Card JOLIE CHING | INTERIM WEB EDITOR With the swipe of a card, University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa students can purchase meals, borrow library books, use campus recreation facilities and attend football games. This multi-purpose identification card, known as the Mānoa One Card, is an essential card for all students. Issued to new students at the start of their first term, the card displays the name, photo and unique student number of its holder. In addition to verifying a student’s identity, the Mānoa One Card grants its holder many benefits on and off campus.

GETTING YOUR CARD

CAMPUS CENTER COMPLEX

New students may obtain their Mānoa One Card from the Campus Center Ticket, Information and ID Office after creating a UH email account and registering for courses.

All holds or financial obligations must be cleared before the card can be issued. In order to receive your card, be sure to bring along one of the following forms of identification: driver’s license, state-issued photo ID card, passport or military ID card. All new students are entitled to an initial card at no charge; however, replacing a lost or damaged card costs $25.

The Mānoa One Card can be used for several discounts at the Campus Center. Through the Ticket Office, students can purchase movie passes, athletic event tickets and concert tickets at a reduced cost. Students can also receive discounts on passport photo, fax and lamination services as well. Furthermore, admission to the Kennedy Theatre and Orvis Auditorium is discounted.

The card allows students to attend social events hosted at the Campus Center Complex (Campus Center, Hemenway Hall and the Warrior Recreation Center). Popular events hosted throughout the year include movie nights and Cram Jam, the university’s annual latenight study event held during finals week. The card can also be used for the Leisure Program, allowing students to rent low-cost equipment and enroll in leisure classes.

At the Campus Center Computer Lab and Lounge, students may use the printer at 7 cents per page compared to Sinclair and Hamilton’s

TRANSPORTATION

The Mānoa One Card doubles as a bus pass and is a great way for students to cut down on travel costs.

For the mandatory $50 transportation fee, students receive a semester-long U-Pass sticker on their card. The sticker allows students to have unlimited rides on the city bus system for the entire semester.

To renew a U-Pass sticker, students must go to the Ticket Office at the beginning of each term.

Textbook buying guide Where to buy books MELDRICK RAVIDA ASSOCIATE FEATURES EDITOR

Each course has its own set of material and typically requires some sort of textbook for reference, some of which are only available at the Mānoa Bookstore, while others may often be found elsewhere for less if you know the right place to look. Here are a few options to peruse through when shopping for textbooks.

 MARCEL SARAGENA / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I

The Mānoa Bookstore is your one-stop shop for all your textbooks, but there are other options that you may want to try first.

THE MĀNOA BOOKSTORE

BARNES AND NOBLE

At the Mānoa Bookstore, you can find all the textbooks for your courses.

You can view what texts are required for each class online at hawaii-manoa.verbacompare.com. A helpful feature that it includes is showing online prices for the text as well, so you can decide whether you want to get it immediately, in person, or wait a while for a better value. Bear in mind, however, that shipping times vary and that you should plan on scheduling its arrival sooner rather than later.

The bookstore also has friendly student staff to assist you in finding the books you need without any hassle.

Barnes and Noble is another retailer, located in the Ala Moana Shopping Center, which may carry some books you are looking for. If you need assistance, there is an information booth at the center of the store where they can direct you to where you need to go. Barnes and Noble also purchase textbooks that you may no longer need.

ONLINE

Purchasing your books online is most useful if you have time to spare before the text is needed or until classes begin. This means

that if you receive your syllabus or retrieve information for required texts early, you can easily get the text at a lower price than if you were to purchase at the retail price.

Otherwise, if you want to wait to see if the text is necessary (as at times it might not be), then this will work for that.

A reliable seller is Amazon. It typically has most of the textbooks you might need, which can be bought new, used or even rented at a reduced price. If you have a Prime Student membership, you will receive free two-day shipping on eligible items and other benefits such as

access to the Kindle Owners’ Lending Library where you can borrow books for free with no due dates.

Other places to purchase your books are vendors such as Chegg and Abebooks. Chegg offers around the same price markups for textbooks as Amazon and you can rent and sell books, too.

Websites such as BookScouter and ValoreBooks are also useful if you would like to know if you’re getting the best deal around.

RENTING AND BORROWING

Let’s not forget the pleasure in renting and borrowing books. If

you know that you won’t want to keep a book in particular, renting is a good option and comes at a fraction of the price. The bookstore, as well as the aforementioned sellers, provide renting services to students. Sinclair Library and Hamilton Library usually carry books for courses at a limited quantity, so be sure to request it as soon as possible. Some books do not leave the library, so come prepared.

“DPS response to ECB calls is consistent with any other incident on campus. The dispatcher takes a call and sends an officer or officers to respond to the location of the ECB - we can tell which ECB is calling us even if the person on the other end of the line is unable to speak,” DPS spokesperson Sarah Rice said in an email interview.

Besides using the Emergency Call Boxes on campus to report incidents, students may download and use the Manoa Guardian app as well.

LYRAH PANARIGAN KA LEO SUMMER INTERN

The University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Department of Safety works around the clock to keep the community secure. DPS has a team of dispatchers and a variety of resources to guide students around campus safely.

FOR EMERGENCIES

In the case of an emergency, always dial 911. Also located on the UH Mānoa campus are Emergency Call Boxes, implemented by DPS in the 1880s. There are 74 ECB’s around campus that can be easily identified by their prominent blue paint. When a student presses the red button located on the box, they can relay the situation to a dis-

DPS makes its services easy to access for students and faculty through calling its main line, (808) 956-6911. Another available resource that DPS provides is the Safety Escort Service. By dialing the escort line (808) 956-SAFE (7233), a DPS dispatcher will help users get to their designated location at any time of day. Safety Escort services can also be reached through the extension x67233 from campus phones, or (808) 586-3015 for the John A. Burns School of Medicine and UH Cancer Center locations.

The Manoa Guardian, a free app for UH Mānoa students, was implemented in April 2015, which stu-

dents can use to report an incident anywhere on campus. Some of the features include a call directory where students can access UH Mānoa policies and the Emergency Response Callbook and a safety timer feature, the highlight of the app.

“If you are walking alone on campus, you can set the timer for the amount of time it takes you to reach your destination, and then deactivate it when you arrive. If the timer expires before you deactivate it, DPS is notified immediately and we can send help to the location of the phone. This feature is very helpful because it means that students don’t have to wait for a safety escort - they can just use their phone. We have a lot of students who use it for situations where a safety escort might not work - like waiting for the bus or waiting for a friend to meet them,” Rice states.

EXTENDED RESOURCES

From learning how to combat an active shooter on campus to hurricane preparedness, DPS also offers workshops and training sessions for the UH Mānoa commu-

nity. Safety and wellness and first aid/CPR/AED certification training are among the other services provided. These workshops, according to its 2018 Annual Security and Fire Safety Report, are conducted by the UHM DPS Community Policing Unit.

DPS is currently working on a project to replace older ECB’s with newer ones to improve functionality.

“While the overall number of call boxes will be reduced, there are some new locations we are adding so that the layout and distance between units makes more sense and is more cost-effective. Technology has definitely impacted this decision, as most students own cell phones and opt to use those in favor of landlines. However, we still feel that ECBs have a use on campus, and we see value in keeping them on campus, as long as they are in good condition and can be useful to the community,” Rice added.

Program information, including extra tips and resources on various safety issues, can be found on at manoa.hawaii.edu/dps/.

Essential apps for every college student JOLIE CHING | INTERIM WEB EDITOR

CAMPUS APPS MĀNOA NOW

TAPINGO

BITE

The Mānoa Now app is an essential app for University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa students. One of its most popular functions is its ability to track the locations and pick-up times of TheBus and the campus shuttle services. It also lists the times and locations of campus events, job opportunities and promotional UH ID deals. It also lets you load Dining Dollars, Mānoa Dining Services’ digital currency, onto your UH ID. In addition, users can directly access the campus’ STAR registration system, the UH Athletics page, campus maps and the university’s student media such as Ka Leo O Hawai‘i, UH Productions, KTUH and Hawai‘i Review to keep yourself up-to-date with current news and trends.

Tapingo is the way to go if you are in a rush to get to your next class and want something to eat along the way. With the app, you can order and customize menu items online from several dining venues on campus with Dining Dollars or a credit card. Once your transaction is complete, Tapingo will notify you when your item is ready to be picked up. Dining venues that can be accessed via Tapingo include Starbucks, Jamba Juice, Da Grill, Ba-Le and Stir Fresh.

If you purchased a meal plan or are dorming, Bite will be a helpful app you can download. Bite is owned by Sodexo, UH Mānoa Dining Services’ food provider. It displays the daily menus of the dining halls on campus (Gateway and Hale Aloha), including each dish’s ingredients, nutrition and potential allergens. Furthermore, the operational hours of the dining halls may vary during the holidays and breaks; however, Bite is able to tell you exactly when the halls are open and closed.

STUDY APPS CHEGG

MATHWAY

FOREST

It is safe to say that almost every college student knows what Chegg is, but for those of you who are unfamiliar with it, Chegg is the ultimate catch-all homework app for your general education requirements. With access to major textbooks at discounted rates and homework solutions, Chegg is able to assist you with the majority of your introductory classes in the sciences, mathematics and humanities.

A Chegg subscription is priced at $14.95 per month, but this cost can be reduced by sharing an account and splitting the expense with your friends. Note that Chegg should not be used as a substitute to attempting the homework problem yourself. Just because you understand the steps of Chegg’s solutions does not necessarily mean you will be able to do the problem come exam time, so it is best to reserve Chegg solely for checking your work.

Students may be required to take at least one math course as part of their general education curriculum. If you are a STEM major or are pursuing a Bachelor of Science, at the very least, you will have to pass Calculus II. Mathway is an app that can solve calculus, trigonometry and algebra problems. What differentiates Mathway from regular calculators is that it lists each step of the problem and simplifies it to basic math.

K A LEO O HAWAI ‘I THE VOICE OF HAWAI‘I

Keep the job hunt on campus On-campus jobs, more than just convenience ALISHA CHURMA KA LEO SUMMER INTERN

Being a college student, it is nice to have $5 in the wallet for that last-minute coffee on the way to a 9 a.m. class.

“It’s good to have extra money. No college kid is gonna say no to more money,” senior mechanical engineering major Noah Rodrigues said.

However, classes all morning and club involvement or social activities in the afternoon sometimes make it difficult to hold down a part-time job. With flexible hours and close proximity, on-campus jobs can be a solution that lets students optimize their time while still putting money in the bank.

“The convenience of being on campus, doing all your classes, then being able to walk to your next job and being able to put in hours between your classes is a true convenience tool,” Mānoa Career Center Director Wendy Sora said.

Over 4,000 students work on campus at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, according to the Mānoa Career Center website. There is a diverse range of on-campus job offerings at UH Mānoa. From food service and retail to even graphic design, students can scroll through hundreds of options on the Mānoa Career Center’s SECE database.

“I can guarantee you at any given time of the year, there are always student employee vacancies and jobs for students to apply for,” Sora said.

A search for job openings in July produced 241 results for the UH Mānoa campus. Even for students with little to no work experience, SECE offers many entry-level positions. Additionally, a little-known benefit of working on campus is that entry-level workers can still expect rates above Hawai‘i’s $10.10 per hour minimum wage.

On-campus jobs also give opportunities for students to build experience toward their future careers or to

work in jobs that parallel their studies.

“We have students who are science-based majors who are working in labs or working with faculty who are doing research,” Sora said. “You know, things that not only give you the work experience but also fuel the passions that you have too.”

WORKING AS A CAMPUS CENTER SERVICE ASSOCIATE

Katherine Villanueva, a senior majoring in public health, has worked as a Campus Center service associate at the Ticket, Information & ID Office for a little over a year.

A typical day at her job includes issuing student ID’s and U-Passes, selling movie, concert or event tickets, and helping students assemble proper documentation for passports. For Villanueva, this job served as a good introduction into a professional work setting.

“I wanted a different job from the one I grew up having — I grew up doing landscape with my dad

— and I think this was a very good starting point to start working in an office and in a more adult setting,” Villanueva said.

WORKING AS A STUDENT TOUR GUIDE

Senior nursing student Airah Shayne Martin and Noah Rodrigues are student tour guides at the Office of Admissions. They have worked for a little over two years and a little over a year, respectively. As student tour guides, they give daily tours and help out at different admissions events, such as accepted student receptions. Like many on-campus jobs, Rodrigues said that the student tour guide position is convenient for his schedule.

“I can finish my class at 2:30, come here, give a tour, and then go back to the dorms and chill and rest and do homework,” Rodrigues said.

In contrast to off-campus jobs, these jobs appeal to students because the employer understands

the academic demands of a fulltime student.

“When I work on campus, I know that my boss is really flexible with my schedule,” Martin said. “I’m a nursing student, which means I have exams and I have to study all the time, so she understands when I have to call off work to put some time aside to study with some of my classmates or go to tutoring.”

To find jobs like these, interested students can visit hawaii.edu/sece/ or drop by the Mānoa Career Center to explore job openings.

Ways to Mānoa Commuting options to and from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Campus CAR

BUS

According to Commuter Services, UH Mānoa’s peak parking demand is from 7 a.m. to noon. There are numerous areas where students can park: Zone 20 (Lower Campus Parking Structure), Dole Street Parking Structure, next to Hawaiian Studies and other upper campus parking lots.

Visitor parking varies, depending on the location on campus. On weekdays from 5 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Zone 20, it is $5.

Each semester, parking permits are also available for purchase. For students, it is $166 starting this fall.

UH students who have paid their tuition and fees qualify for a U-Pass, which allows for unlimited rides on the city bus for the whole semester. The U-Pass is a sticker that is placed on a student’s Mānoa One Card, and is a mandatory $50 fee.

Routes serving the UH Mānoa campus include: 4, 6, 13, 18, express routes A, 80A, 85, 85A, 90 and 94.

For those who use TheBus as their daily commute, DaBus2 App, which is available on Google Play or the App Store, allows you to view real-time schedules and arrival times of the buses.

RAINBOW SHUTTLE The Rainbow Shuttle is a free service provided to UH Mānoa students, faculty, staff and visitors.

Shuttles are air-conditioned and seat 28 passengers. The shuttle system consists of multiple routes, which travel through the campus and the neighboring area, including some off-campus parking locations.

The shuttle runs during the fall and spring semesters, Monday through Friday during the day and some evening hours. To view arrival times, download the UHM Shuttle app on Google Play or the App Store.

JANELLE TAPAT | KA LEO SUMMER INTERN

The University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa is trying to improve the ways students get to campus with new initiatives.

“In the next few years we hope to roll out a technology upgrade, making our operations more efficient and thereby keeping cost down,” Ryan Fujii, Commuter Services operation manager, said.

BIKE

BIKI

UH Mānoa has over 50 bike rack locations around campus. For those who live farther from campus, Commuter Services encourages students to combine a bus and bike commute. Each city bus is equipped to carry two bikes.

Commuter Services also offers free secure bike cage parking for cyclists and moped drivers. Only registered UH students are allowed card-access entry to the cage, which is located in the Zone 20 parking structure next to the Stan Sheriff Center.

UH Mānoa’s newest commuting option, which recently came to campus in December 2018, is Biki.

Biki is Honolulu’s bikeshare program that offers 130 self-service stops from Iwilei to Diamond Head and 1,300 Biki bikes.

The bikeshare program has six sites on the UH Mānoa campus.

NEW GRINDS ON CAMPUS STARTING FALL 2019 UHM campus adds four new food trucks and a smoothie bar at Paradise Palms

GENEVA DIAZ INTERIM NEWS EDITOR

University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s Food Services has made a few changes starting this fall by expanding the menu for hungry students.

“There are a few changes we are excited about,” Beth Lehman, assistant manager for Food Services, said.

At Paradise Palms, Holoholo Grill will be adding a smoothie station and more grab and go items for students needing to get in and out of Paradise Palms quickly.

In addition to some old favorites returning, such as Sistah Truck, Hot

Tacos and Da Spot, four more food trucks will be on campus. Rocket Coffee Mobile, Just Ice Hawaii, Doner Shack Food Truck and Ono Seafood will be joining the Food Services team and will be doing daily rotations around UH Mānoa.

“Students will have the opportunity to experience nearly all food trucks even if they are centralized to one area of campus for classes,” Lehman said.

According to Lehman, nearly 36% of students in college are worried where their next meal is going to come from. That is also why Food Services requires all vendors to offer a five dollar meal on their menu.

“When we consider bringing someone on campus, we think of several things,” Lehman said. “Will

ing 100% organic coffee and other breakfast style treats from a 1973 Volkswagen bus.

When we consider bringing someone on campus, we think of several things, will they be a good partner... are they here to support student success as well as run a business?

STUDY HOTSPOTS

RECOMMENDED BY STUDENTS Students give advice on places to study

“We hope to be able to bring positive energy, messages and affirmations to students through any means we can!” co-owner Danielle Jenkins said.

Rocket Coffee began as a cafe on the mainland, and with a desire to offer better experiences to customers, made a move to Hawai‘ i and created a food truck.

The five dollar option on its menu is called “Rocket Coffee Power Breakfast,” which includes hot oatmeal or cold cereal with the choice of fruit and toppings and a small orange juice.

All food trucks will have their grand opening during the Week of Welcome from Aug. 18 to 24.

The schedule, map, and description of the vendors will be posted on manoa.hawaii.edu/food/.

JAIDA BURGON | KA LEO SUMMER INTERN

Students everywhere are always looking for the best places to study. This can be a difficult process when people are new to an area and don’t know much about it. Having other opinions can be very helpful in finding the ideal place to study.

These specific recommendations are by the students around campus who find these places best suited for studying.

SINCLAIR LIBRARY

THOMAS HALE HAMILTON LIBRARY

KA PAPA LO‘I O KĀNEWAI

Named after University of Hawai‘i President Gregg M. Sinclair (1942-1955), the library opened its doors in 1956.

Today, Sinclair Library is home to various music books, magazines, videos, CDs, DVDs, audiocassettes and numerous resources available to UH students, faculty and staff.

Sinclair Library is an open-air library, which allows students a natural environment to work in. Unlike in Hamilton Library, eating is allowed inside.

The library partners with the Student Success Center and other student-based service programs.

If looking for a more traditional place to study, Thomas Hale Hamilton Library is recommended by multiple students attending UH Mānoa. Senior mechanical engineer major Mathieu Higa finds the library a convenient place to study because of it being air conditioned, containing a lot of room and being quiet.

“It has a lot of spots there,” sophomore electrical engineering major Alyssa Zhang said.

The library is referred to as “Hamilton” and is favored by quite a few students.

Thomas Hale Hamilton was the seventh president of the University of Hawai‘i. The first establishment of the Thomas Hale Hamilton Library was in June 1968, with further construction in 1975. Hamilton Library is located next to Paradise Palms Cafe and across from Keller Hall.

For those who are looking for an unusual place to study on the campus of the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, sophomore global environmental science major Glenn Arnade recommends the “lo‘i patch.” Arnade recommends Ka Papa Lo’i O Kānewai for those who enjoy studying outdoors. According to Arnade, there are not that many people around the area. If looking for a quiet place to study outdoors, the Lo’i Patch is a good place to start.

In the early 1980s, a group of Native Hawaiian students who were attending UH Mānoa discovered the remains of an old ‘auwai, a watercourse or channel mostly for irrigation, through some bushes alongside the Mānoa stream. It was then found that the land was called “Kānewai,” which was highly respected for its kalo productivity. In 2007, Kānewai was established and used as a cultural garden and center. Kānewai’s purpose is to provide a reminder of laulima, many hands working together, mālama, care for the land, and pu‘uhonua, a place of sanctuary. It is located next to the Kamakakuokalani Building.

MEET SOME OF UH MĀNOA’S QUIRKY CLUBS MICHAEL PUNI KA LEO SUMMER INTERN

Clubs, called “registered independent organizations” and RIOs for short, offer outlets for student involvement and the development of different interests. While there are those who correlate RIOs with educational and serious topics, others perceive them to offer unorthodoxy. At the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, the range of diversity stretches from the Queen Nicki Minaj Fanclub to the Rainbows Jugglers Juggling Club.

RIOs engage students in various ideas and activities, and while a number of them revolve around an important cause, not all need intensity. The idea of being within a small community that focuses on a lighthearted objective can be appealing to some.

While there are more than 250 RIOs at UH Mānoa, here are two aligning more on the unconventional side.

Founded by former student Tricia Adams in 1989, the RIO aims to show the fun and concentration of juggling. Stephen Case, who works for the Biological Safety Program, advises the club. He welcomes students of all skill levels to participate.

The Rainbow Jugglers are associated with the non-profit International Jugglers’ Association, which serves as a “primary resource for jugglers around the globe.”

Case describes the practice as meditative, explaining how juggling requires a certain amount of attention. He also mentioned the increased usage of it in business workplaces to boost self-confidence.

The amount of members each semester varies, depending on student population, but usually is about two dozen.

Meetings are usually held on Mondays at Studio Three in the UH Athletics complex at 8 p.m.

RAINBOW JUGGLERS JUGGLING CLUB MONDAY STUDIO THREE AT THE UH ATHLETICS COMPLEX 8 P.M.

The Parkour Club, currently led by student Robert Lemon, was founded by former student Matthew Jang. The club had become inactive after the original members graduated, until Lemon and his friends took interest in it and reactivated it in the fall of 2018. Since then, members have been striving to continue to learn new and creative ways of training one’s body.

The RIO is an affiliate with American Parkour, an organization that teaches and promotes parkour. This activity is a training discipline that aims for practitioners to get from one difficult point to another in a simple manner.

Club meetings vary to meet the members’ schedules. They are held once weekly and start at the Campus Center Starbucks before members begin training around campus. There are also individual training sessions.

“Within my first year at UH, I have met a few new friends who I get to train with regularly and we all encourage each other to try new things and push ourselves to our limits,” Lemon said.

In year two of the revitalized runand-shoot, quarterback Cole McDonald returns as the frontrunner to lead the offense. Last season, the redshirt junior threw for 3,875 yards and 36 touchdowns.

On the ground, he also rushed for 359 yards and four touchdowns of his own. The Rainbow Warriors finished 2018 with a 8-6 overall record, and will open the 2019 season versus Arizona on Aug. 24 at Aloha Stadium. Kick-off is slated for 4:30 p.m.

One of the key returners for the Rainbow Wahine is redshirt senior goalkeeper Alexis Mata. Mata ranked No. 1 in the Big West Conference with nine wins, and finished No. 2 with a .811 save percentage and No. 3 in saves with 86. Last season, the Rainbow Wahine finished with a 9-7-1 record. UH will start the season versus USC on Aug. 22 at Waipi‘o Peninsula Soccer Stadium.

First kick is at 7 p.m.

Last season, senior setter Norene Iosia saw her role expand as UH switched to a 6-2 offense. On top of setting, Iosia also had time as an outside hitter. Iosia was the Rainbow Wahine’s utility player, and finished second on the team with 212 kills, 477 assists, 301 digs and 57 blocks.

The Rainbow Wahine finished last season with an 18-9 record and a trip to the NCAA tournament. UH will host San Diego on Aug. 30 at the Stan Sheriff Center for the Hawaiian Airlines Rainbow Wahine Classic. First serve is set for 7 p.m.

Senior guard Courtney Middap finished last season ranked No. 3 on the team for scoring. In 31 games, Middap scored 253 points as she averaged 8.2 points per game.

UH finished last season with a 15-17 overall record. The Rainbow Wahine’s schedule has not been announced yet.

Zigmars Raimo had a breakout junior year as he averaged 11.5 points per game and led the team in rebounds (6.1) and steals (1.3) per game. The senior forward was given the team’s “Most Improved Award,” and is expected to have an expanded role on offense this season. UH finished last season with an 18-13 overall record. The Rainbow Warriors will have a preseason game against Chaminade on Oct. 30 at the Stan Sheriff Center. Tip-off is to be announced.

Our campus radio station is unique: KTUH DJs form a close community that is connected to the local music scene,

we are proud to be one of the few radio stations still operating around the clock without automation. Our programming contains nearly every genre of music including Hawaiian, reggae, jazz, alternative rock, hiphop, electronic and J-pop. We also produce informational content at KTUH about such topics as future studies, women’s issues, and LGBT issues. You can even be a contestant on our weekly trivia show, Sundays at 2 p.m.! KTUH alumni have gone on to successful careers as professionals at stations like KCRW and Hawai’i Public Radio. KTUH programs can be broadcast live or published

UH Productions If you’ve seen “Da Scoops”, UH Sports highlights, or the classic “UHM College Survival Guide,” then you’re in the right place!

I would like to begin by congratulating all incoming freshmen and transfer students on your first semester here at the beautiful University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa. To the rest, I wish you the best in your upcoming classes and overall academic success.

UH Productions is a student-led video production group under student media. We strive to give students the opportunity to experience what it’s like to work with professionals throughout the university and beyond. Here at UH Productions, you will get to work with other students who share the same passion for film and videography as you do.

Late nights spent color correcting and cutting hours of film will be worth the pride of you look-

ing twice as good in a personal video than real life. And for you nerds (like me) who started just wanting to add something a little extra to your resume, a bit of videography and editing skills never hurts to have in the 21stcentury.

On a final note, I’d like to thank all of you who have and continue to support what we do here at UH Productions. I look forward to spending another year with you all here at UH Mānoa.

If you are interested in joining UH Productions or want to know more information, email uhpgm@hawaii.edu Mahalo, Wesley Honda General Manager
