So half of the quote cost of this is now gone because the cost was put at $1.2 million and over $600,000 of that doesn’t now have to be paid, so that’s good news.” Donovan has since accepted an AD position at Cal State Fullerton, and Apple has not found a replacement for his job. However, he maintained that it is a crucial spot to fill. “[It’s an] absolute critical position, no doubt about it, the whole idea of branding the university and getting the idea out about what we do, but of course we’ll be looking very carefully at the sal- ary and still getting a quality person, but trying to keep the expenses as low as possible,” Apple said.

In an exclusive interview, University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Chancellor Tom Apple said he is looking forward to another semes-ter of campus-wide conversations. “I’m happy with where we’re going so far,” Apple said. “I’ll start off by saying that increased conversation itself has made it a lot clearer to me what the key issues are on campus.” He outlined the progress that was made as a result of these conversations, which he plans on continuing this semester.

JAN. 17: HARASSMENT A male UH professor called Campus Security at 3:59 p.m. re-garding letters he had received from a former female student, claiming that the student ha-rassed and threatened him in the letters. The professor pre-viously filed a no-contact order against the student in 2002 when she came to his workplace with a knife – the woman was arrested that day – but the order expired in 2004. Referred to HPD.

JAN. 16:PEEPING TOM Two female students called CS at 7:31 p.m. about a peep-ing tom in the Kuykendall Hall second-f loor women’s restroom.

The victim reported that after she walked into the bathroom, her friend saw the perpetrator trying to look at her from under the stall. The man saw the friend and f led the scene. A third wom-an reported seeing him earlier outside of the third-f loor women’s restroom in Kuykendall. He is described as being in his early twenties, 5 -foot-2, 140 lbs., thin light-skinned with black hair and wearing glasses, an aloha shirt and khaki pants.

JAN. 16 -23:ADDIT IONAL REPORTS This week, CS has responded to fi re alarm activations in Hale Aloha Lehua and Hale Wainani F at 12:27 a.m. and 12:30 a.m., respectively. There were also sev-eral suspicious people reported across campus and a burglary at Hale Mānoa.

Plato’s Closet, which just opened on Beretania Street, offers a variety of new and used name-brand clothing and accessories at reasonable prices – it’s not a fresh concept, but the store has done well on the mainland, where it remains a fast-growing franchise. As a Los Angeles native, I love thrift stores and consignment shops, so I knew that I had to visit this trending store – and I wasn’t disappointed.

SELECT ION AND SHOPPING EXPERIENCE Whether you’re looking for shoes for a friend’s wedding or a clubbing outfi t, Plato’s Closet is packed with trendy options – the store has a policy of only accept-ing used items within 18 months of their original purchase. Although Plato’s Closet is comparable to TJ Maxx, hav-ing a more affordable, youth-centered image without the

home and children’s goods, therewere still several older women go-ing through the merchandise. If you need assistance or suggestions, employees are helpful and create a welcoming atmosphere where every customer is greeted as they walk through the door.

PRICE Shopping at Plato’s Closet is cheaper than going to Forever 21 and has a better selection of styles for men and women, and the original price tags are still attached. Garments were selling for a fraction of their original retail price. I saw Women’s Air Jordan shoes from $12-$21, a new Bebe dress for $18 and Betsey Johnson purses for half the price of what Ross charges. I couldn’t leave the store without pick-ing up a few things.

SELL ING The only downside to Plato’s Clos-et comes at a cost to potential sellers. Having asked a few people about their experience, most have been disap-pointed by the small number of items

that the store chooses to buy and the prices they offer for what they do take. The store sells their merchandise at a lower cost, so it’s rare for consign-ers to receive what they think is a fair price for their items. If you want to get rid of some clothes or you’re in need of some quick cash, it might not hurt to try Plato’s Closet, but most people have found it easier to donate un-wanted items to Goodwill. I am sure that as Plato’s Closet receives more business, it will be open to buying more from its customers. Overall, I had a refreshing shopping experience at Plato’s Closet. I can’t wait to go back to see what new items come in and other steals that may await.

We’ve all known someone who was courteous, hardworking and dependable, perhaps with the am-bition to become a senator. That person has good intentions – but doesn’t fulfi ll the obligations as well as expected. A person like this would be Sen. Daniel Akaka, who spent more than 30 years in the Senate establishing seniority while stag-nating in effectiveness – a combi-nation that resulted in mediocrity in comparison to his colleagues. Akaka’s legacy should push future Hawai‘i politicians to be greater.

A SENATOR OVERSHADOWED An article published by The New York Times last month on Akaka did not cover his contributions to Hawai‘i or the United States in general. Rath-er, the article observed that his name was fi rst on the Senate roll call and that he would never have the notori-ety achieved by his colleague, the late Sen. Daniel Inouye. A few days later, a piece on Inouye illustrated the severe consequences Hawai‘i could see without its second-longest serving senator at its helm. Inouye’s role as the chair of the Appropriation Committee, which is responsible for allocating federal funds to government organizations around the nation, and his place as president pro tempore, were re-markable accolades. In contrast, Akaka will be known for having failed to pass his namesake Akaka Bill, which would have given federal recognition to Native Hawai-ians and allowed them to establish their own government. Support for the bill faltered among politicians be-cause it was racially based; even the Native Hawaiian community did not support the bill.

NEW FACES, NEW OPPORTUNIT IES In criticizing Akaka, it is impor-tant to keep in mind that Hawai‘i,

which has been a state for 53 years, has had only seven senators. Three of the changes in Hawai‘i’s Senate delegation were the result of an elec-tion – the two other changes were due to the deaths of former Sen. Spark Matsunaga and Inouye. When former Rep. Ed Case challenged Akaka for his seat in 2006, it was a close race that dis-played a changing attitude toward Akaka’s leadership despite the Democratic establishment oppos-ing Case’s candidacy. It raises the question: What could Hawai‘i have been like if Sen. Akaka had only been a two- or even three-term senator, allowing fresh faces to represent Hawai‘i? Newly appointed Sen. Brian Schatz, Inouye’s successor, was the CEO of Helping Hands Hawai‘i and lieutenant governor for two years – not much professional ex-perience compared to most senators. Sen. Mazie Hirono, Aka-ka’s successor, has legislative and gov-erning experience as former lieutenant governor and three terms as U.S. House Representative. They will be expect-ed to bring in federal mon-ey, in the form of military spending, to continue road and sewer repairs and to raise the bar

for education. Failure to meet these expectations may allow potential con-tenders, such as Deputy Director of the Hawai‘i Department of Land and Natural Resources Esther Kia‘aina, to take one of their seats.

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE Voters now have the opportu-nity to witness the growth of our newest senators. Our new delega-tion needs to fulfi ll their promises to the best of their abilities. Hawai‘i cannot afford to keep another me-diocre leader in Congress. Though it may not be true that Congress consists of the best 535 leaders in the nation, Hawai‘i can still select the best four leaders amongst us to make an impact on the other 531 politicians and help them focus on their constituents instead of party affi liations.

Credit is due not only to the leader who can earn the re-

spect of their peers and display the aloha spirit, but also to the leader who can retire with grace and give a new generation a chance to bring positive change to the nation.

SHE SAID. . .

EMAIL YOUR QUESTION S TO OPI N ION [email protected]

HE SAID. . .

Forever alone?Forever alone?“I’m a senior in college, and I’ve never had a significant other. In fact, no one’s ever been interested in me romantically, as far as I know. People tell me not to worry because this means I can focus on my studies more, and they say I’m not missing out on much anyway, but sometimes I would like to experi-ence for myself whether the grass is greener on the other side. Flirting and relationships seem to come so naturally for most people, but given my lifetime experience of being the literal embodiment of that “Forever Alone” meme, it just isn’t that way for me. Should I be worried and make more of an effort, or should I just let things happen as they will?”

Hoping that things will fall into place helps us to avoid getting our hopes up and can make us com-placent or unwilling to be active in trying to improve our lives. While it may be safe to assume that fl irting and dating is easy for others, you might also be overlooking the inher-ent diffi culties many face even when it appears to be effortless – most people don’t get into relationships by waiting for things to happen. We learn to approach others by initiat-ing conversation or fl irting while taking on the risk of being rejected. Don’t worry that you haven’t had a signifi cant other; worry if you’ve given up on the prospect of being with someone. Try expanding your social circle, start conversations with strangers and tap into your self-worth. If someone comes along that you like, ask him or her out and you’ll get closer to what you want.

The saying “Good things come to those who wait” doesn’t apply to most cases. Success sto-ries are rarely about opportunities that fall into people’s laps. Those are the exceptions, not the rule. The rule is that you have to work hard. Make more of an effort to go out and meet people. Talk to someone you fi nd interesting, and if that goes well, continue to build that relationship even if it starts off as a friendship. The more people you meet, the more opportuni-ties you will have to fi nd someone you may be compatible with. Join a club for something you are pas-sionate about to encounter more like-minded people. If you’re shy, join a friend when he or she goes out, or attend gatherings with a group of friends.

The University of Hawai‘i men’s volleyball team (1-6, 0-4 Mountain Pacifi c Sports Federation) is recov-ering after dropping both of its road matches against No. 7 Long Beach State (5-2, 3-1 MPSF) last week. “We have the capability of playing with any team in the league; we just have to learn how to fi nish a game,” sophomore mid-dle blocker Davis Holt said. “Plus, the other teams in the league this year are all pretty even. The team that plays the hardest wins.” After facing the 49ers, the War-riors focused more on offense. “We got a lot of work on our serve receive and getting our of-fense in sync,” junior outside hit-ter Jace Olsen said. Two weeks ago, Hawai‘i took

down No. 4 UCLA in a fi ve-game match. But playing on the road, the Warriors haven’t had much success. In two road trips, the Warriors have been on the receving end of four losses.

LOOKING FORWARD Despite a disappointing week-end, the Warriors will look to pull off a UCLA-style upset against No. 2 Pep-perdine (3-1, 3-1 MPFS). The Waves are led by junior outside hitter Kyle Gerrans, senior opposite Maurice Torres, sophomore outside hitter and Punahou alumnus Josh Taylor. This match is personal for the UH players who have ties with their opponents. Taylor, Holt, junior opposite and transfer from Pepperdine Ryan Leung and junior setter Joby Ramos all played club volleyball together at Kuikahi. “It’s going to be just like last year

and high school.” Ramos said. “We’re going to exchange some words at the net, but it’s all just for fun. It’s like friendly competition, just like prac-tice, but only tougher.” “Our boy Ryan Leung is from Pepperdine and they have a local guy on their squad, so there is some moti-vation for these upcoming matches,” Olsen said. Pepperdine is considered one of the toughest teams in the nation, but home court advantage and a bit of ex-tra motivation could help Hawai‘i. “We also have to play hard at home because home wins are the most important, especially cause Josh Taylor is on Pepperdine and me, Ryan [Leung] and Joby [Ramos] played club with him,” Holt said. “So we have to win.” The fi rst match is scheduled for Friday at 7 p.m., and the second is set to begin at 5 p.m. on Sunday.
