News Editor When Eric Vize, UH Mānoa alumnus, couldn’t fi nd a job due to the economy, he took to the streets. Vize, who holds a B.A. in in-ternational relations and now re-sides in San Diego, began passing out his résumé at a busy intersec-tion in La Jolla, Calif. Vize, who thought of the idea on his own, was inspired to take such mea-sures because days of searching for jobs with career and job list-ings websites proved fruitless. “I sent out thousands of résu-més and it seems like there are thousands of applicants vying for the same jobs,” said Vize. “I tried to take a different approach.” Vize said the reception to his efforts have been good so far. Many people offer him words of encour-agement. “People say ‘yeah great, I’ll pass (your résumé) along’,” he said. A video clip of his story has received over 40,000 views on the Yahoo news website. Despite the increased atten-tion, Vize has not been offered a job that utilizes his degree in in-ternational relations or rewards that he holds a degree. “I’d like to utilize my degree but I’m just looking for anything that I couldn’t have got without my col-lege degree. It would be nice to take that next step to the reason why we get our college degrees,” said Vize. Vize recently found a job through handing out his résumé, with an air-conditioning com-pany that hired him full time. While Vize appreciates the job, he hopes to find something more applicable to his degree. Vize, who was born and raised in Illinois, began at UH in 2004 and graduated in 2008. He has partici-pated in student exchange programs in Singapore, Florida, and Brazil. After graduating from UH, Vize

opened a used goods recycling busi-ness called “Da Garage Sale.” He started out while at UH when he no-ticed how many students move from Hawaiʻi, don’t take their stuff with them and don’t try to sell it. “I noticed a niche there so I would buy the goods and resell it,” he said. “It was a good experience as far

as learning how to run a business.” Vize was active at the univer-sity, starting his own registered independent organization (RIO), the international explorers club, served on the Associated Stu-dents of the University of Hawaiʻi (ASUH) board, and was a member of the Kappa Sigma fraternity.

Vize is open to moving back to Hawaiʻi if career options open up. He moved to San Diego because he wanted to be close to the beach and nice weather and he thought it might be easier to fi nd a job. “I thought there would be more jobs out here than Hono-lulu but it seems like everyone

is struggling in terms of hiring people,” he said. When asked if he has any ad-vice for recent graduates, Vize said, “If I knew I’d probably be doing it myself. If anyone has any advice for me, I’d love to take it.” Eric Vize can be reached at [email protected].

Look at the job hunt as a full-time job:1. “Don’t mourn your situation. The key is networking in a

very broad sense. Call friends, relatives, and neighbors to ask if they know of jobs,” he said.

Send your résumé to staffing agencies:2. Staffing agencies such as ALTRES provide job and staff-

ing solutions on all the islands. In addition to staffing agencies, those looking for employment should also post their resume to the web on sites such as Career Builder, Monster, even Craigslist.

Consider temporary jobs:3. “Many times temporary jobs can lead to full-time jobs.

Also consider unpaid internships as many companies hire people they already know and can rely on,” said Petranik.

Google your own name:4. “If your online image isn’t favorable, either change these

things if you have access to it or create positive work such as a website you created highlighting your strengths,” said Petranik.

Be good at the technical stuff:5. Learn to use programs such as Excel, PowerPoint,

and Word. “The more skills you have the better,” said Petranik. It is also advantageous to learn web design, with programs such as Dreamweaver and InDesign.

If you get the interview, give it your all:6. Set up a practice interview with a friend or relative. Be

energetic, “employers are looking for a problem solver with a strong outlook,” said Petranik.

Always follow-up with a thank you note:7. Petranik said hand-written notes are preferred.

The Hawai’i Institute of Ma-rine Biology at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa and scientists from the Smithsonian Institute have teamed up to make history. Scientists and interns con-structed the fi rst frozen reposito-ry for Hawaiian corals, which will aid in preventing the extinction of various species of coral.

“This is important,” said Mary Hagedorn, research scientist and adjunct faculty member at HIMB, “but just a beginning.” Hagedorn headed the cryopreservation proj-ect and was previously working with coral in the Caribbean. The Smithsonian Institute, HIMB,

Morris Animal Foundation and the Anela Kolohe Foundation funded the project. With the new repository, the reproductive “ingredients” can be frozen for generations. While this process has already has been applied to other marine life forms such as oysters, clams, sea ur-chins, and fi sh, it has never been done with Hawaiian coral. “While cryopreservation of marine creatures is not new, it is

new for coral,” said Hagedorn. “Coral are very hard to cryo-preserve because they are very complex creatures,” she said. Hagedorn pointed out that only three locations in the world have a bank holding endangered coral sperm. The Hawaiian repository

is being stored at HIMB research facilities on Coconut Island in Kane‘ohe Bay. The bank holds sperm sam-ples and embryonic cells from the mushroom coral and rice coral species. They are just a start to what aspires to be a growing li-brary of coral cell samples. Col-lection of these sperm and egg samples was done at night, when the scientists would surround the coral with nets. “The coral release the sperm and eggs into the water,” ex-plained Hagedorn, “and we col-lect the eggs from the coral at the same time we collect the sperm.” Another method was to col-lect samples from coral fragments stored in tanks at the institution. After the larvae grow, the cor-al is later “planted” into the sea, where it hopefully thrives. The benefi ts of the Hawaiian reposito-ry were utilized not long after its

creation, at which time scientists began the thawing process that would yield new coral. Coral is essential to marine life and plays an important role in the complex balance of the ocean. In addition to providing food and shelter to fish and other species, it has also been used for medicinal and ecological ben-efits, among others. Currently, 60 percent of the earth’s coral is threatened, ac-cording to a statement issued by the World Resources Institute. Coral is endangered in various locations on the globe, including Australia’s Great Barrier Reef,

which may experience a depletion of up to 95 percent by 2050. There are several factors that affect coral’s ability to thrive. It has a high sensitivity to tempera-ture change and UV exposure, as well as human activities such as pollution and tourism. Rising temperatures in the atmosphere, linked to increased carbon emis-sions, are also suspected in the endangerment of reefs. In response to this situation, Hagedorn confi rms that a pro-gram to apply the cryopreserva-tion of cells in Australia. There

are “discussions with partners (there) to begin training and cryopreservation of some of (the reef).” Hagedorn added that the, “new initiatives may come together… depending on stakeholder groups agreeing and funds being available.” Malia Paresa, a senior at the University of Southern California, was one of the two sum-mer interns that participated in the project. “My experience with the project was invaluable. This experience allowed me to integrate human fertility techniques and invertebrate zoology with my Native Ha-waiian heritage. It was an honor to get in-volved with the community in which I grew up and to help much of the wildlife that is indigenous to Hawaii,” said Paresa. “As climate change worsens, we cannot outrun the problems that they are causing for the marine wildlife. Instead we much learn preservation techniques in order to remedy the change once it occurs,” she added. Paresa was chosen through an applica-

tion process that included “the interns’ inter-ests, their biological skills, college creden-tials, personal statements and their letters of recommendation,” said Hagedorn. As for the future, the Institution has sev-eral developmental goals. “Last winter, we started … freezing tiny fragments of coral. We have gotten them to live for eight hours after they have been thawed” Hagedorn said “this winter, we hope to get them to a stage where they live for months and begin to grow.” In conjunction with extending the lifespan of frozen coral fragments, the lab will also work on collecting, reproducing and fertilizing further coral species over the next few summers. Hagedorn hopes that continuing re-search will include storing a worldwide se-lection of coral cells. “The ultimate outcome will be that we could go around the world pretty quickly collecting small fragments of coral and storing them for hundreds of years.”

The University of Hawai‘i at M�noa Study Center for the National Children’s Study has been ramping up operations this summer for the largest long-term study in the United States that will look at how children’s health is affected by a number of fac-tors, including their family health history and the places where they live, learn, and play. The study will include 100,000 children across the nation from before birth to age 21 and will expand what’s known about children’s health and serve as a rich information resource for future research on children’s health, development, and quality of life. “The National Children’s Study is a very large longitudinal study look-ing at environmental and genetic factors that affect child health and development,” said Dr. Lynnae Sau-vage, Principal Investigator with the Study and Chair of Obstetrics, Gyne-cology and Women’s Health at the UH M�noa John A. Burns School of Medi-cine. “We are getting ready to start on

O‘ahu to enroll our fi rst participants in this study,” Sauvage said. Earlier this month, Sauvage led members of her research team from the University of Hawai‘i at M�noa Study Center at the John A. Burns School of Medicine to a conference at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md. Sauvage’s team mem-bers met with their counterparts from across the country during three days of meetings to discuss issues ranging from recruitment methods to the type of computer technology that will be used to collect and to store data from 105 locations. Dr. Stephen Hirschfeld, Acting Director of the National Children’s Study, said Hawai‘i’s ethnic diversity will help the research. “We’re par-ticularly keen on having participants from Hawai‘i because we’re looking for an unbiased sample of people who live in the United States so we want to be sure that we get people from all so-cioeconomic strata, from all races, all ethnicities, all different backgrounds and communities that people belong to,” Hirschfeld said.

Ramen is stereotypically por-trayed as a college-student staple. Cheap and relatively easy to make, instant ramen is simply a part of the college experience. Students should also be aware, however, of the nutritional value of instant ra-men, as some brands contain over 1,000 mg of sodium per serving (85 g), as well as 6 g of saturated fat. With such statistics in mind, students may want to shell out a few more bucks to access a health-ier and tastier alternative. Tenkaippin’s kotteri ramen offers a healthy chicken-broth based soup that is more nutrition-al and thicker than the standard broth. While some may fi nd it to be disconcerting, as the consis-tency is similar to gravy, others will fi nd that the richness of the broth is pleasant and fi lling, and that the taste more than compen-sates. Tenkaippin also offers stan-dard ramen broths (assari, miso, and paitan) for those that do not like the kotteri broth. Hot ramen may be undesir-able in the warm and humid fall months, but Tenkaippin offers cold noodles that are garnished with vegetables, char siu and a se-cret sauce. If ramen by itself is not fi lling enough, students also have the option of ordering combo dishes. There are three sets: A set with

ramen and fried rice, B set with ramen and gyoza, and C set with ramen and three pieces of fried chicken. The prices range from $10.00-$11.65, depending on the chosen broth. Price-wise, Tenkaippin is fair-ly steep, but equivalent to other high-end ramen restaurants. Kot-teri ramen runs at about $8.25 and comes with char siu and green on-ions. For another dollar, students can order Charu Kotteri Ramen, that comes with more pieces of char siu. The prices are balanced by the large portions and the thickness of the broth, which usu-ally ensures customers leave with a full stomach. Overall, Tenkaippin offers a wide variety of broth that makes for a great and f illing meal. While the price may be steep compared to instant ra-men packets or other lower-end ramen joints, Tenkaippin offers quality food that won’t make stu-dents afraid to step on a scale.

SETH N. LILLEY

KTUH Music Director

As the gorgeous Hawai-ian summer shifts seam-lessly into an equally gor-geous Hawaiian fall, UH students are falling back into the saddle and grab-bing the reigns, prepar-ing for a new school year. And with a new year comes new things, hence, a brand new weekly music review from the music director of KTUH - that ’s me, Squid.

THE BAND Let’s start this brand-spankin’-new review off with a bang. A little three-piece band from Philadelphia called Juke-box the Ghost has been making splashes in the indie-pop and rock world. Their fi rst album, Live And Let Ghosts, released in 2008, met with critical acclaim from the Washing-ton Post. Since then, the band has toured with the likes of indie-rock hero Ben Folds and Adam Green of Moldy Peaches fame. The fantastic trio compris-ing Jukebox the Ghost is made up of Ben Thornewill on vo-cals and keys, Tommy Siegel on vocals and guitar, and Jesse Kristin on drums. The fact that Thornewill and Siegel trade off on lead vocals depending on the track is one of the many unique things about this band. Just the fact that such a relatively small band can blast such a powerful and emotional sound is itself ex-traordinary.

EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN Jukebox the Ghost has an-nounced their sophomore album, Everything Under the Sun, will be released on Sept. 7. Much like Live and Let Ghosts, their second record is quite clearly

constructed to be an album rath-er than a collection of singles. Jukebox the Ghost takes the al-bum and treats it like a whole art form, much like indie-rock mono-liths The Arcade Fire. Each song f lows into the next, so that it is so easy to follow the distinct emo-tion of each song while still get-ting a feel for the whole piece. Jukebox the Ghost has its own specif ic musical feel, some-thing hard to def ine instantly, so that it ’s not “just another indie -pop group.” These guys have obviously worked hard to perfect their sound and have something unique to set them apart from a huge amalgam of groups that sound exactly l ike each other. Drummer Jesse Kristin commented in an e-mail state -ment, “Making this new record with Peter Katis (producer for Interpol, The National, Mates of State, etc.) was a great experi-ence for us. Between touring, we had been writing and ar-ranging songs for the past two and a half years since our f irst record, so when we f inally came in to the studio we had about 25 songs to choose from. The 12 chosen for the album included some we had been performing live for over two years and oth-ers we had only arranged two weeks before.” Everything Under The Sun

starts out with two high-powered, energetic

tracks titled “Schizo-phrenia” and “Half

Crazy”, respective-ly. Throughout the rest of the album,

the band never loses the intensity

of these songs, that feeling of electricity.

The band has an energy that starts with the drums,

shoots across the keyboard, electrifi es the guitar strings, and inspires passion in the voices of Siegel and Thornewill. The next track, “Empire”, slows it down just a tad, but still shows the fervor every member of the band has for music. The piano-and-drums intro sets a theme for the whole song while lyrics compare the begin-ning of a relationship to the chaos of a wartime empire. Thornewill sings poignant lines such as “’Cuz my heart/Is my keep/And you are threatening me”. The album slows again in the piano-driven “Summer Sun”, featuring the beautiful, soft vo-cals of both Thornewill and Sie-gel in gorgeous harmony, pick-ing up in the middle as so many Jukebox the Ghost songs do; Kristin crashing the cymbals, Siegel rif f ing on his guitar and joining Thornewill on the pas-sionate vocal melody. The rest of the album just f lows beautifully with emotion and power. Clever lyrics soar over the perfectly orchestrated instrumentation, creating a sound that is almost too big to believe. From the philosophical “Let Us Create” to the jaunty “The Popular Thing”, the entire album is a pleasure for the ears and mind. The off icial release date is Sept. 7, but you can hear a few of the tracks beforehand on KTUH, the only station that loves you.

When nature calls, and it al-ways does, don’t settle for the old overcrowded bathrooms that look like they were built in the ‘70s. For those of you who are bound by na-ture’s laws, here is a little guide to the nicest bathrooms on campus. Each review is based on the criteria that make a trip to the bathroom special. Cleanliness is most important, followed by how well-stocked the bathroom is and whether it smells. Privacy is also considered and so is comfort. Each restroom is rated from one to fi ve stars to best help you decide where to go, when you need to go.

POST:

First on the list is the Pacifi c Ocean Science and Technology building (POST), the newest building on East-West Road, with the sky-blue glass windows right behind the engineering building. Although many students attend classes in POST everyday, there are many places to fi nd an empty bathroom due to the size of the building. If you do manage to nav-igate through the building’s hall-ways be sure to enjoy the quiet and empty restrooms. If you have the time, endure the trek, it ’s well worth it.

CAMPUS CENTER:

The bathrooms in Campus Center are well kept and always fully stocked with toilet paper and hand soap. There are always plen-

ty of stalls and it ’s conveniently located in the center of all the commotion. If you’re looking for privacy, this is probably not the place for you. Students walk in and out every minute, so there’s no peace and quiet.

CRAWFORD:

Just like POST, Crawford is clean and air-conditioned. Though it does not have nearly as many fl oors as POST, you might be able to fi nd some privacy if you slip in between classes. If you’re not in the area, Crawford might be a trek for a small bit of privacy, but is nonetheless a very clean bath-room.

HAWAIʻ I HALL :

Possibly the nicest bathroom on campus belongs to the admin-istration. Almost always empty and fully stocked, this bathroom is a paradise. The air-conditioned but perfectly controlled tempera-ture is what makes this bathroom great. If you’re looking for peace and quiet, somewhere you can read Ka Leo undisturbed, head for Hawai‘i Hall.

So when nature calls, try it out, and don’t be shy. During classes, early mornings, and late afternoons are your best bets to fi nd privacy. But remember: the earlier you go, the cleaner the bathroom will be. The next time you need to go, think of Ka Leo and reach for the only source for news, entertain-ment, and bathroom reviews.

Americans are constantly faced with the stereotype of not knowing their history. Ac-cording to a study by the In-tercollegiate Studies Institute, “More than 2,500 randomly selected Americans took ISI’s basic 33 -question test on civic l iteracy and 71 percent of them received an average score of 49 percent, or an ‘F ’.” The study also pointed out, “Only half of U.S. adults can name all three branches of gov-ernment, and just 54 percent know that the power to declare

war belongs to Congress.” With these issues in mind, there are historical miscon-ceptions that college students should aim to debunk. This se -ries will attempt to cover dif fer-ent periods and epochs and dis -pel these misunderstandings.

MISCONCEPTION 1: L INCOLN WAS AN ABOLI -T IONIST One of the main myths re -gards Lincoln’s image as being the Great Emancipator. W hile Lincoln did resolve the issue of slavery in the United States, it ’s a misconcept ion to state

that it was his f irst pr ior ity at the onset of the A merican Civ il War. Lincoln is quoted as say-ing, “I f I could preserve the Union by freeing none of the slaves I would do it ; i f I could save it by f reeing al l the slaves I would do it ; and i f I could save it by f reeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that . W hat I do about slavery and the colored race, I do be -cause I bel ieve it helps to save the Union.”

MISCONCEPTION 2: THE C IVIL WAR WAS ABOUT ENDING SLAVERY The not ion that the Civ il War was only about ending slavery is incorrect , as there were other explanat ions in-cluding states’ r ights and bal -ancing tar i f fs which favored Northern industr ies, but hurt Southern plantat ions. The sig-ni f icance of each of these fac -tors has been debated. Some historians such as James McPherson argue that , “Of al l these interpretat ions, the states’ -r ights argument is per-haps the weakest . It fa i ls to ask the quest ion, states’ r ights for what purpose? States’ r ights, or sovereignty, was always more a means than an end, an instrument to achieve a certain goal more than a pr inciple.”

MISCONCEPTION 3: THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION ʼS SOLE PURPOSE WAS TO FREE SLAVES The Emancipation Proclama-tion’s main purpose was not just to free slaves, but was a calculat-ed move on the part of the Union to discredit the South. Accord-ing to ThinkQuest, “The South was hurt by the Emancipation Proclamation because it discour-aged France and Britain from en-tering the war.”

The recent tragedy in the Gulf of Mexi-co has focused our nation’s attention on the challenge of balancing competing uses of our marine resources. The threat from oil spills, however, is just one of the problems our oceans face today. Fortunately, President Obama re -cently signed an executive order es -tablishing a new unif ied national ocean policy. This new national policy has the potential to dramatically improve the state of our oceans _ providing us with an invaluable tool to untangle the maze of laws and regulations that currently govern everything from reefs to of fshore energy resources. Coral reefs, among our world’s most striking natural treasures, provide a prime example. Their “sparkle” is now diminishing. Over the last 36 years I have witnessed their extensive degradation, as pollution, global warming and destruc-tive f ishing practices continue to take a tremendous toll on these fragile ecosys-

tems and the people who depend on them. These reefs provide eco -nomic benef its for many U.S. communities, valued at hun-dreds of mill ions of dollars each

year. They also provide impor-tant cultural benef its and in-valuable ecological protection. In fact, nearly half of all feder-ally managed f ish populations depend on coral reefs and adja-cent habitats for a part of their l i fe cycles. Existing federal legislation, though, is largely outdated. The century-old R ivers and Har-bors Act, for example, allows the Army Corps of Engineers

to engage in or provide per-mits for activit ies destructive to coral reefs, over objections from more biologically oriented agencies such as the Environ-mental Protection Agency, the

National Marine Fisheries Ser-vice and the Fish and Wildlife Service. Moreover, when it comes to the ef fects of water pollution on corals and associated organ-isms, federal pollution limits are based more on chemistry than protecting key biological processes, such as reproduc-t ion, and they of ten ignore the harmful ef fect of combinations of pollutants. As a result , it is

possible to be in legal compli -ance with established stan-dards for a number of toxicants, while a reef ’s ability to survive is threatened by the combined ef fects of the “soup.” On July 19, the White House announced the creation of a uni-fying national ocean policy that will protect key natural resourc-es and ensure that sustainabil-ity will drive future economic activities both offshore and on-shore. This long overdue initia-tive presents us with a unique chance to end the political pa-ralysis that has compromised the ability of many coastal com-munities around the nation to protect reefs and other threat-ened marine ecosystems. Our oceans are currently managed by more than 140 laws and 20 agencies, in a disjointed system with often conflicting goals. President Obama’s execu-

tive order, however, creates a Na-tional Ocean Council to coordi-nate activities with an eye on the bigger policy picture. A lthough an integrated national ocean policy will not clean up our oceans or restore depleted resource stocks over-night, this achievement is a key step forward. And action now is crit ical, as t ime to f ix current problems is short. Indeed, a colleague’s research shows that a collection of coral reefs pos -sessing roughly 80 percent l ive coral cover in the early 1900s averages only 38 percent or less today. Unless policy chang-es are made and implemented quickly, these reefs could drop to less than 10 percent l ive cor-al by the year 2100. Reefs and other marine eco-systems cannot truly be man-aged. Fish, corals and other sea creatures will do whatever their

genetics dictate. The best we can strive for is to manage human ac-tivities responsible for the degra-dation and devastation of marine ecosystems. President Obama’s newly announced national ocean plan is an invaluable insurance pol-icy on the future health of our oceans - providing us with the chance to make decisions on the use of our l imited marine re -sources based on the best avail -able biological, physical, eco -nomic and social sciences. As illustrated so dramatically by the tragic Gulf oil spill, today’s mistakes will only increase the hardships felt tomorrow and become more costly to f ix the longer we wait .

Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

SEAN MICHEL

Senior Staff Reporter

There are people that claim where they grew up is the “best place ever”. On Oʻahu, this exists be-tween the North and South shores of the island. Both sides are known for producing amazing waves and amazing surfers, which has fed a friendly interisland rivalry between the North and South shores’ surfi ng communities. This Saturday will be an op-portunity for the two shores’ best surfers to test their mettle against one another at Sandy Beach on Oʻahu’s east side. The second annual Red Bull Ri-vals contest is held at Sandy Beach because of its neutral location. “Sandy’s is just such a clas-sic scene for surfers on Oʻahu,” North Shore competitor Jamie O’Brien said. “(Sandy’s) has ev-erything that you need, food, friends, chicks and beer.” Last year, the south team came out on top 17-15, with the final two heats of the day decid-ing the outcome. The Rivals contest has no af-

filiation with any other contest series and is dedicated to fun and bragging rights for the win-ning team. The North and South shore teams are comprised of ten surf-

ers, along with one captain to decide who surfs when. This is a unique aspect of the Rivals con-test, as most surf events are man-on-man to the bitter end. For the South Shore, profes-

sional surfer Carissa Moore, argu-ably the most successful amateur surfer ever, will be calling the shots. For the North Shore, profes-sional surfer and north shore roy-alty Coco Ho will take the helm.

The teams were determined by online voting, with only two requirements. Each team must have at least one girl and two surfers under the age of 17. Yet another unique aspect of the event is its scoring format. Judges score surfers on their over-all performance throughout the entire heat as opposed to standard scoring in a surf contest, where competitors are judged on their best two or three waves in a heat. It also has an “expression ses-sion”, where contest surfers go for the biggest maneuvers they can do within their allotted time. The session’s scoring format allows surfers to break from the rigid mentality of contest surf-ing, which emphasizes a need to nail down at least three waves with a decent score. Instead, surfers can focus on pushing themselves to their limits. Judging the contest will be North Shore and Volcom heavy-weight Kai “Borg” Garcia, along with a panel of handpicked judg-es and surf industry veterans. Turk “The Hawaiian Hurri-cane” Cazimero will be emceeing the event again. He is considered
