The concert began at 6 p.m. The stage was built with the performers' backs to the stained glass wall of the cafeteria. Faculty and students alike came out and enjoyed themselves, a few could be seen dancing near the stage. In the middle of the concert, rain began to pour so the concert was moved into the cafeteria where the entertainment continued. Kapena was also joined by the musical talents of with music by Picante (Hispanic salsa music) and Reign (contemporary acapella). The series of music concerts continued on Monday, Nov. 6, with the UH Manoa Chamber Music Ensemble and the UH Jazz band. Kapena played popular contemporary Hawaiian music on Saturday night at the free concert on the KCC campus. -Photo by Joe Tomita.

Interpret Hawaii a part of the Hospitality program here on campus, has successfully negotiated a contract with the Greater East Honolulu Community Alliance, or GEHCA. GEHCA is a volunteer-based organization consisting of business people~ elected officials, and concerned citizens from Waikiki, Kapahulu, Palolo, and Kaimuki. An informational flier about GEHCA states "we believe that you are the expert of what our communities want and need to thrive." The contract for Interpret Hawaii consists of two main parts that will help build the Waikiki-KapahuluKaimuki Circulator Trolley Project. First Interpret Hawaii will create the curriculum and training protocols for the docents of the trolleys. Then it will create two walking tours along the trolley's route. If you are wondering what a docent is, it's a person who is a cultural specialist or historian who will present all the information on a guided tour. The Trolley Project will provide direct convenient transportation along the commercial corridor that runs through Waikiki, Kapahulu, and Kaimuki. The Trolley will also be a key component to stimulating the economy by familiarizing local people and visitors to these areas. The Trolley is brought to you by GEHCA, The city and County of Honolulu, Mayor Jeremy Harris, and Councilmember Duke Bainum. For additional information on the trolley you can contact any one of the GEHCA community representatives. For Kaimuki call Ginny Meade at 737-4125, for Kapahulu call Dennis Iwanaga at 732-6473, and for Waikiki call Karen Ah Mai at 732-7321. Trolleys are also equipped with wheelchair lifts for the handicapped. (See page 3 for trolley schedule and stops.) Diana Franks discusses her story, "I Had to Learn the Hard Way," at the reading that celebrated the publication of the BOSP's various literary magazines and contests. by Kapi 'o Staff Most of them never thought that their words would have such power and popularity. But on the evening of Thursday, November 8, at 6:30p.m. student writers, artists and photographers from the Board of Student Publications publications Spectrum, Ka Nani, Diamond Journal and Horizons, and the winners of the Ghost Story Contest, were highlighted for their efforts with a reading. Students were invited to speak to an audience of some 50 fellow students, family and faculty to talk about their writings. The event was held in the Ohia Building, Room 118. Some student writers gave brief readings from their published pieces, which included essays, poems, and fiction. A computer slide show presented some of the artwork and photographs that illustrated the publications, and refreshments were served to all in attendance. .Kc.ap.'~.·'"o-------------------·C;.o~m;m;.;.;e;.;n;ta;r,J.y__________~~~mmm~ ..• ~~~~;:'!~1~~. 2(JOO Sp~ Who Would You Have Wanted To Be President Of The United States?

Temurera Morrison (or Tern as I call him) is in town to represent New Zealand and serve as a juror for the Hawaii International Film Festival. Morrison is quite a film enthusiast and discussed the process at length. He recanted one anecdote about having to buy dinner for all the extras in order to entice them to return to work the next day. "You do what needs to be done in order to see a project through." He's promised to share more tales about acting, directing and his upcoming projects like the "Crooked Earth" and a documentary on Maori ghost stories.

Lucky Lorraine enjoys one of the many perks of being a Kapi 'o columnist as she "hangs out" with actor Temurera Morrison. -Photos by Phillip Spalding. by Lorraine Fabro You know Temurera Morrison as the notorious wife beater "Jake" from the acclaimed movie "Once were Warriors" fame. What you didn't know is that this Mighty Maori actor is corning here. Yes here to KCC to see you. He has resurrected his infamous character "Jake the Mus" (as in muscle) for the sequel, "What Becomes of the Broken Hearted," due out this year. You can imagine my jitters when I approached this foreboding figure. "Mmmmm, Mr. Morrison," I said. He swung around enthusiastically, "Yes Love" "I'm from KCC . . ." and then I don't remember what gibberish spewed forth but the next thing I knew we were taking pictures, laughing and making arrangements for a visit to our school. Morrison's more than just brawn, he's got brains and talent too. I saw him jump up on stage at Gordon Biersch, grab an electric guitar and rip through a rendition of Santana that had the crowd cheering. He whipped the women into a frenzy with an encore song that had the crowd swaying and singing. When asked if he was married he testified that he was "too young." This multitalented performer has quite a speckled past, as a radio OJ, TV researcher and reported, advisor on the academy award-winning movie "The Piano," and, if that's not enough, he is considered the New Zealand equivalent of Jerry Clooney in a TV soap opera titled "Shortland Street." For the uninitiated you can acquaint yourself with his work by renting a few of the following films: "Broken English," "Barbed Wire," "Six Days, Seven Nights," "Speed 2," ''The Island of Dr. Moreau." and the made for TV version of "Moby Dick." He will also appear in the upcoming "Star Wars: Epi- I Eat your hearts out! "Jake" shows he's a really loveable guy, unlike his character in "Once Were Warriors." Clarification ... Oversimplifying a Complex Issue by Lorraine Fabro Editorial Assistant It was incorrectly reported that a Muslim shrine was destroyed by Jewish settlers and Israeli guards when in fact Joseph's tomb is a Jewish place of reverence. It was the Palestinian guards who were there to protect the tomb that lead a mob of marauding Muslims in the destruction of the holy site. Time reports the following, "On October 7, a Palestinian mob demolished Joseph's Tomb, a Jewish holy place within the West bank, after besieged Israeli troops withdrew from the site with assurances that Arafat's gendarmes would protect it. In retaliation, the Jews in Tiberias vandalized an ancient mosque." In a good faith effort to right a 2 wrong, I contacted members of both the Jewish and Muslim communities to check the accuracy of the report. Both parties urged me not to believe everything I read. Clearly, it was negligent of me to oversimplify this conflict. The division between these Biblical half-brothers was forged nearly 3,000 years ago. Any effort to pinpoint one event as the cause of the unrest is woefully inaccurate. The editorial was supposed to highlight the wrongs committed in God's name and the partie's inability to adhere to a progressive and lasting peace process. The article was not so much about who did what to who, as it was about two peoples so polarized by their nationalism and religion that they would choose to die as enemies than to live in peace as brothers.

Taste buds were tingling, tummies were full, and some lucky attendees even took home fresh produce and flowers. All those who participated had a fun evening supporting Hawaii's agricultural industry and the consumption of local products. Farmers, vendors, chefs, culinary students, and the public had a unique opportunity to interact with each other on the subject of locally produced goods.

Glenn Shinsato of Tomei Farms, one of the main organizers, said, "The consumers as well as the chefs are given the chance to try dishes created with products that they would not normally consider." Although the spotlight was focussed on the fresh ingredients used in the various dishes, many attendees were impressed by the performance of KCC's Culinary Arts students. "Oohs" and "aahs" abounded as flames shot up from the saute pan at KCC's food station. A crowd gathered around this particular area, eagerly awaiting the Seared Island Opah with Roasted Red Pepper Beurre Blanc and Basil Oil. One of the more unusual offerings came from KCC's Hospitality Industry Students' Association (H.I.S.A.) and Chef-Instructor Henry Holthaus, which featured Lapsang Souchong Tea and Shallot Stuffed Chicken Breast with Lilikoi Beurre Blanc.

Not to be outdone, the professional chefs presented some mouthwatering dishes of their own. Halekulani Hotel's Sous Chef Darryl Fujita offered Roast Suckling Pig with Taro Rolls. Chef-Owner Glenn Chu from Indigo featured a fragrant Meyer Lemon Rubbed Roasted Fresh Ham with Calamandin (orange) Pineapple Chutney in addition to a Three PeppercomBeefTop Sirloin on Rice and Sweet Corn Cakes with Fresh Horseradish. A Pacific Cafe's Sous Chef, John Sato, showed off Kalua Pork Pot Stickers and Taro Puree with Tomato and Com Relish as well as Pineapple Carpaccio with Haupia Custard Ice Cream. And for those who had room for dessert, Pastry Chef Julia NakanoHaimes from the Waioli Tea Room's Pastry Chef topped off the entire affair with a Macadamia Banana Caramel Tart and a Chocolate Mousse Banana Cake. Everyone ate to their heart's content and then some. Aside from eating, guests were able to bid on nine, stunning ikebana pieces in a silent auction. They were also able to buy an assortment of fresh produce that ranged from choi sum to kabocha pumpkin and ogo for $1 to $2. Altogether, the participants and organizers were pleased at the outcome of the event. The benefit successfully promoted the Island Fresh idea, thereby supporting Hawaii's economy on a larger scale.

Editorial: Morality vs. Legality By Lucas Bejar Columbia Daily Spectator (Columbia U.)ll/1012000 (U-WIRE) NEW YORK-The presidential election of 2000 will perhaps go down as the closest in United States history. A few hundred votes in one state will ultimately decide who will govern the country for the next four years. With such a huge burden on these votes and the state overall, it would behoove of the election committees in Florida to get the story straight and actually interpret the voice of the people. After all, the election is nothing more than the people electing their leader. However, in Florida, this does not seem to be the case. The now-notorious case of Palm Beach County is a perfect example. The ballot utilized in this highly Democratic county has been criticized by many as being misleading. Why should we mislead the people voting? Some argue that it doesn't matter if people were confused; the fact is they still voted. I simply ask these people, is that really so? Does it matter whether or not every single vote was counted? Does it matter if people voted for the wrong candidate by accident? The simple answer to such simple questions-of course it matters. For starters, 19,200 votes in this county alone were not counted because the voter had punched in two or more boxes for one position. In the -state as a whole, 29,000 ballots were not counted for the same reason. Thus, 66 percent of the state's total uncounted ballots due to this one problem came from one county. If this one county had 66 percent of the state population, this would make perfect sense. The truth, however, is that Palm Beach county has a fraction of that population, only 10 percent. It is clear that the Palm Beach voters were confused. Regardless, many will argue that there is no legal reasoning for a revote. Rather than consider the legal matters of a dispute, I will instead focus on the moral grounds for a re-vote. Our great country grants everyone the right to vote for the candidate of his or her choice. When 19,200 people in one county alone are denied this right, or rather their votes are nullified, this right is thrown into question. Surely one can argue that they had the right to vote, instead they just threw away this right by voting twice on one ballot. However, the founding fathers surely implied that along with the right to vote comes the right for that vote to count. It does not take a politicaljuggemaut like George W. Bush to realize that these 19,200 votes did not count. President Clinton said, 'The people have now spoken..." in reference to the election. Indeed they did and in mass numbers. Unfortunately for our democracy, in some select counties throughout the country, their voices were not heard. Palm Beach County should not have are-vote to be fair. Palm Beach should have a re-vote to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America. Palm Beach should revote to allow every single . citizen who so chooses to elect the next president of the United States. Palm Beach should re-vote to allow every vote to count. It is not a matter of whether or not Palm Beach should legally be required to do this or whether a judge decides that the county should re-vote. The moralconscience of this currently chaotic nation should be the element calling for a re-vote while the nation's future hangs in the balance. Without a re-vote, the legitimacy of the president-elect would be greatly challenged by all those who accidentally voted for an undesired choice as well as any flourishing democracies abroad that look to the United States as an example of dignity. Without are-vote, the legitimacy of the president-elect would be greatly challenged by all those who accidentally voted for an undesired choice as well as any flourishing democracies abroad that look to the United States as an example of dignity. For these reasons, Palm Beach County in Florida should be forced to re-vote as to eliminate voter irregularities that could unjustly sway the election to a candidate that would not otherwise deserve to win. Kapi'o November 14, 2000 Paving the Way for Everyone Co~struction on Campus to Comply With ADA Iris Cahill Copy Editor Very few people have been unable to notice the construction that has been going on around campus for quite sometime. Since Spring 2000, construction workers have been retrofitting sidewalks, rest rooms and even buildings in order to meet with ADA standards. The Americans With Disabilities Act, or ADA, has established numerous guidelines to insure that individuals with a physical handicap are able to negotiate public areas safely and with relative ease. While Kapi 'olani Community College has ensured ADA compliance in the past, the school has made a major effort to conform to the most recent of these regulations. "We have tried to make pathways all across campus that provide accessibility to those with disabilities," says KCC Auxiliary Service's John Messina. As of January 2000, a walkway that leads from Diamond Head Road all the way up to the Kopiko building on campus has been made available to handicapped students, visitors and faculty members. This walkway provides ramps and handle bars in order to facilitate a wheelchair bound individual. According to Messina, similar ramps and handle bars have been added to the path that runs through the large field in front of the cafeteria. The ADA specifies that any sidewalk or walkway that has a higher slope than the percentage currently allowed, ramps must be added. However, Messina notes that KCC had constructed the ramps before this particular regulation had been placed. Landings have also been provided along the pathways in order for individuals in wheel chairs to turn around or pass other wheelchair bound students. The major contractor handling the retrofitting task is Allied Builder. Thomas Lim was the architect that designed the appearance of the retrofitted college under the Kober Hanssen Mitchell architecture company. Aside from the walkways, KCC has retrofitted three of the campus' major buildings: Ohia, lliahi, and Lama. Handicap stall in the rest rooms were redone in order to create more space for individuals in wheelchairs. Doorknobs that are easier for disabled students to utilize have also replaced older and less functional handles. Automatic doors were also added to some of the restroom entrances on the top floor of lliahi. Funding for the project was provided by the Department of Accountings and General Services. Although Anything But Shallow: Shallow Shallow Deep Gets Audience Going v }J a 0 I c b b n d p iJ tl s c a Walkways like this one, which fronts the KCC quadrangle, had to be retrofitted to comply with ADA requirements. ti the amount of financial support provided was not sufficient to retrofit the entire campus, as John Messina would have liked, the money received was sufficient to begin making the changes needed. DAGS has also provided some additional funding to beautify the pathway in the cactus garden, which is currently open to the public. For example, the new lights and rose color cement used along the garden's meandering walkway was made possible by DAGS' beautifica- tion allowance. "Overall we are pleased with everything," expresses Messina. "People were inconvenienced [while construction was being done], but we have all benefited." Dare To Be Entertained: The Fantastiks Opens This Week By Helen Wu Lifestyle Editor So you're tired of doing the same old thing every weekend. You've seen all the movies that are currently playing.

Shallow Shallow Deep peiformed admirably, but the audience didn 't rise to meet their enthusiasm. by Iris Cahill Sean Carillo and his three man band, Shallow Shallow Deep, filled the cafeteria with an assortment of easygoing sounds as students and faculty grabbed some lunch. Though the artists demonstrated more than their fair share of talent, the lack of enthusiasm from the crowd proved to be even more uncomfortable to the group than the lack of air-conditioning. Shallow Shallow Deep was on campus Wednesday, Nov.8 from 12 noon to I: 15 p.m., playing an assortment of well known, songs such as Santana's Smooth and Eric Clapton's Tears In Heaven. Their performance consisted primarily of adult contemporary hits as well as some local favorites. The band also accepted musical requests from several students in the audience. "We try to do some music that pleases everyone", says Carillo of the various types of songs his band performed. Carillo provided the lead vocals while playing the acoustic guitar. Fellow band members Shawn Pimentao and Kale Chang also showed an equal talent with classical guitar and percussion respectively. Though the group was rather entertaining, they were met with a less than receptive audience. One major factors perhaps contributing to the absence of crowd enthusiasm was the hot and stuffy atmosphere that has become characteristic of the cafeteria since the air conditioning went down several weeks ago. However, Shallow Shallow Deep still proved to be a rather entertaining and able band. The variety of melodies and the good vocal quality of Carillo have made this a group to watch out for in up coming years. c Ranked 3~ ... among Western Public Liberal Arts Institutions by U.S. News &World (Out of regional public liberal arts colleges including California, Oregon, Washington & U.S. News survey highlights of • Small class size • Quality of faculty • Personal attention • Affordable tuition Quality Educatio11 at a Great Value! www.uhh.hawaii.edu University of Hawai'i at Hilo • 200 W.

"Beyond Soap" Art Show at UH Manoa Art Gallery • • The truth about cults Shayla Nakashima Editorial Assistant Scary, bad, demonic . . .This is what usually comes to mind when people hear the word "cult." But is a so-called "cult" really as dangerous as it sounds, especially here in Hawai 'i? People often view cults as satanic worshippers who go around cutting people up and drinking their blood. This is not so, but cultish behavior can have results that may not be as gory, but can be equally disturbing in terms of social and psychological impact. What are "cults"? There are actually several meanings for the term "cult." Just for the record, let's set a few things straight. One definiton, (from www.religioustolerance.com) states that a cult is "a particular form or system of religious worship, especially in reference to its external rites and ceremonies." Another definition sates a cult could also be "a devotion to a particular person or thing." A negative definition is "a religious group with a single charismatic leader who brainwashes and uses mind control techniques over members." This last definition is the one most often associated with the term cult. There are in fact many religious groups, including some that we may think are mainstream organizations, that are targeted by some anticult organizations. These include the Brethren, Christian Science, Church of Scientology, the Mormons, Falun Gong, The Family, Hare Krishna, Jehova's Witnesses, Neo-Paganism, New Age, Santeria, Satanism, Unification Church, Vodun (Voo-Doo), The Way, and Wicca. Some faith groups are categorized as "doomsday cults," and these are the groups that have proven to be destructive and dangerous. The Solar Temple, The Way, Heaven's Gate, Brand Davidians, The People's Temple, and Aum Shinri Kyo are a few examples of groups that have engaged in violence either against others and/or towards their own members. These groups have been involved with mass suicides, mass murders and violent rituals. A central basis of their faiths revolves around Biblical beliefs concerning the book of Rev-. elations. Mind control is a major factor in these cults. These groups often partake in repetition of prayers, whicm can become auto-hypnotic exercises that generated fear and paranoia; viewing the outside world as threatening; restricting criticism of the leadership or group policies; isolation from outside contacts; setting forth ethical guidelines; and selfproclaimed "end of the world" scenarios. These are all characteristics of brainwashing and mind-control techniques. The average reader is probably shaking his/her head right now and thinking to themselves, "Give me a break! I'm not naive enough to fall for that crap." Guess what? It's very easy to get sucked into the beliefs of even the most seemingly harmless of religious groups without understanding some of their darker influ- No matter who you are...sports fan or athlete •.• you'll love the all-new All Star Hawaii! ** ** * ** Great menu of steaks, seafood, burgers and beer New indoor/outdoor cafe on the plaza level Pupu & dri_nk specials every night, 6 pm - 9 pm Live entertainment at the cafe, Fridays, 6 pm- 9 pm 38 giant screens of live sports actions Non-stop surf videos Free on-site parking with All Star Hawaii validation Open Daily: Cafe from 8 am, Restaurant from 11 am Cafe • Restaurant • Bar King Kalakaua Plaza • 2080 Kalakaua • Open Daily • 955-8326 Look for Nlkelown and Banana Republic, we're right In between. ences. A close friend may be getting involved with such people at this very moment. After all, it is said that college campuses, so full of young people, are a prime recruiting grounds for such groups. One recent case happened right here in Honolulu. The student was attending the University of Hawai ' i at Manoa, and loved theater and music. She loved God and attended church weekly. Then one day, she disappeared. Friends of the 19-yearold girl were baffled at the possibility that their long-time pal had run away and left all her beloved possessions behind. Confused parents received nothing but an abrupt note from her a couple of days later, stating that she was fine and simply going traveling because she "found God." Because of the pattern and her actions before she disappeared, it is believed that the Brethren, (or Brotherhood) is the cult involved with the disappearance. Although the Brethren are non-violent and Christian-based, friends say that she was "totally not the type" to ever join a religious organization such as this one. But who is? One never knows. This situation occurs too often. There are no definite signs, because conversion can happen so quickly. And although the Brethren and many other organizations are not by definition doomsday cults, the damage is permanent. Family and friends suffer in knowing that a loved one is out there, and that they are completely powerless in finding them. Be careful how you use the word "cult," because it can mean a variety of things, but more importantly, be careful when someone approaches you and begins . to enforce beliefs upon you ... This ain't no soap opera, that's for sure. "Beyond Soap" is an art show opening at the University of Hawai 'i at Manoa's Art Gallery, featuring works by the graduate art students of the Department of Art, UH Manoa. The show (okay, so we're clueless, duh, but what the heck does art have to do with soap?) is the annual exhibition of the grad students, and will run November 19-December 15. A public reception will be held on Sunday, November 19, 4-6 p.m. The hours of admission at the Art Gallery, which is set in a beautiful bamboo grove in the middle of the Art Building, are Monday-Friday 10:30 a.m.-4 p.m. and Sunday 12 noon-4 p.m. The gallery is closed Saturdays and November 23 (Thanksgiving). Admission is free. Night Clubbing -It May be the Scene for You JadelynPampo Special to Kapi 'o So, what is the big hype about night clubs anyway? As many readers may be thinking, "I'm a college student, I study and work all the time. I'm broke most of the time and I don't know that many people. How is going out to a night club going to benefit me?" Some of the reasons below might persuade you to get up and get to a night club: 1) Special Events-For almost every day of the week, there is some kind of promotion or contest going on. Each night club in Honolulu is competitive and fiercely determined to present marketable strategies that will draw clients into their establishments. Everywhere you look, there is always some kind of event taking place at different nightclubs. From posters to flyers, even our local radio stations such as Xtreme Radio 104.3 to 1-94 is getting in on the action. On Sundays, a lot of college students prefer to go to Sexy Sundays at Venus Nightclub or Brew Moon. At Venus, located next to Ala Moana Shopping Center, all the "hot" dressing people get in for free. Brew Moon, located upstairs at Ward Warehouse, draws in a lot of "ravers" who dance to techno and trance music, a blend of upbeat, booming sounds that makes you feel like you just did an exercise routine. On Mondays there is Pango Pango playing trance music. "Brok Dik Mondays" is at the Red Lion Nightclub, located on Lewers Street. This Monday special draws in a crowd because of the cheap 75-cent draft beers and $3 pitchers all night long. There's "Longboard Tuesdays" at Pipline Cafe with 1-94 giveaways and dancing with DJ Euphorik. On Wednesday, Zanzabar Nightclub (formerly Maharaja, located in Waikiki Trade Center) is the place to be for the ultimate Heine search. There is a $250 contest for whoever has the best heine-in other words, who's got the best behind. And no, you don't have to strip down to show off your rear end. On Thursday, there is Paddlers' 5 Zanzabar sports a posh interior. -photo courtesy of Zanzabar. Niqht at Oceans at Restaurant Row where you get in free if you wear aloha attire. Also on Thursdays, Coyote 808 at World's (formerly World Cafe) holds contests involving women dancing on the bar. As for Friday and Saturdays, every nightclub goes off on their own wild ways. 2) Drink specials-Most people love bargains, especially when it comes to drinks. At Pipeline Cafe, located behind Cutter Volkswagen by Ala Moana Boulevard, there are $2 drinks and pupus all night long on Thursday nights. Also, on Thursdays at Pango Pango, you can get drinks for as little as $1. Who can beat that! --One word of caution, though: Drinking is meant for enjoyment, not destruction, so please drink responsibly. . . and always have a designated driver. Remember that the next time you go out. 3) Music-Ranging from alternative to hip-hop, trance to techno, and Latin to pop, no matter which one you listen to, dancing is one of the most enjoyable ways to spend a night. People of all ages can get on the dance floor and groove the night away. For example, there is a well-known fellow by the name of Mr. Rawlins, who frequents many nightclubs around Honolulu. He dances and keeps up with young folks, despite his 70-something years of age. He has such positive energy that it is exemplified through his hand movements and funky dancemoves that are sort of like an older James Brown. 4) Meeting potential friends-A lot of people are in denial about going to nightclubs to scope out the scene, otherwise known as chicks, studs, babes, whatever. . .Isn't it only so obvious that when a person passes by a group of the opposite sex, eyes start wandering around? Meeting and making new friends can open up opportunities, both in business as well as on a personal level. You never know; that cute hottie sitting at the bar could be some CEO of a company that you might be interested in working for. Or that really hot Jason Momoa (from Baywatch) look-a-like, sitting at the table next to you could actually be Jason Momoa. Stranger things have happened, but you might never get the chance if you don't get out of your house and experience the nightclub scene. If you feel insecure and don't want to get lost in a rowdy scene, at all costs avoid the weekends. Instead, opt for a Sunday or Wednesday night. It can be hard on weekdays, especially with school being in session, so just don't stay out too late. All you need is to be able to balance study with fun-doing both in proper doses, and then you're set!

Providing For Students With Disabilities By Sharon Winfield Do you have a disability that interferes with optimum performance in your classes? Have you assessed your health and its impact on your ability to learn? The Special Student Services Office (SSSO) located in 'Ilima 105 does more than help students with mobility disabilities. They serve students with hidden disabilities such as chronic asthma and carpal tunnel syndrome. Every person with a disability is legally protected from discrimination. Federal law mandates accommodations (determined on an individual basis) to make education fully accessible. SSSO takes an active interest in the progress of students. It takes proactive steps to help students accomplish their goals. You don't need to wait until a problem occurs to seek counseling. Counselors are available to discuss various topics that may not have direct bearing on academics. SSSO also provide a wide range of services to faculty and administration to make the campus and institution accessible for everyone. Formerly called the Help Center, the office received odd requests from students to help them move or take them to the UH Manoa library. The staff decided to change the name to clarify that the help provided is for students with mental and physical disabilities. M.J. Haverly began working as a counselor here in 1983 and was later promoted to coordinator of disabilities are at high risk for dropping out and are often unprepared for college. However, Haverly shares these success stories. "There was a very immature student who came in directly from high school on our remedial level. She M.J. Havery: "My personal goal is that one day Kapi'olani will be truly barrier free, physically and psychologically." support services. Her office serves between 150-200 students each academic year. In post-secondary education, support service is provided on a voluntary basis. Students must identify themselves to SSSO and provide documentation of their disability in order to receive notetakers, extended time for tests, classroom accommodations and specialized workshops, Early registration and academic monitoring are included in the valuable benefits students may receive. SSSO collaborates with counselors in Liberal Arts and other departments to assist in resolving particular problems that arise. Thus, students tend to have more contact with their SSSO counselor because of the personal attention and increased comfort level. Studies show that students with bought her friend to class with her for comforting. However, after several years, through her own motivation and persistence, she graduated with a bachelor's degree in psychology and I believe is now teaching in our public schools. "Oftentimes our students leave us and come back. One student returned after eight years with more focus on her education, She graduated and now attends Manoa," If you have a low income, physical and/or mental disability, or are a first generation college student, you may qualify for the Trio program. This program provides networking, social interaction, cultural activities, and emotional support. The Trio program has exciting plans to add peer mentoring and career exploration activities in an effort to improve retention and enhance the educa- by Shayla Nakashima tional experience. One to one service with a personal touch. is Haverly's trademark. However, her influence extends far beyond individual students. The SSSO supports instructors anddepartments through ongoing communication. It presents annual sensitivity training and workshops to faculty members. Instructors also receive feedback from students. "We insure campus wide awareness and understanding of the campus responsibility," says Haverly, "We provide and insure that all aspects of Kapi'olani is in compliance with the law. This includes working with custodians, cafeteria staff, and student workers in the bookstore and library." "I think that the students should be very proud that they are at Kap'iolani. They have so much to offer. Our campus also offers so many opportunities I think that students should take advantage of them. My personal goal is that one day Kapi'olani will be truly barrier free, physically and psychologically. Our lives are too short. Let's all reach out to each other with understanding and sensitivity. I think if we all practice this in our lives it would be a different kind of world." Editorial Assistant Just another remarkable performance! On Monday, November 6, the local group, Tahiti Toa, put on a terrific show for everyone who was fortunate enough to be in the KCC cafeteria around 12 noon. Culture-enriching tunes were performed by six performers, using an assortment of Tahitian instruments. A mixture of dancers took the stage to enhance the beautiful melodies. These talented young people donned many traditional Tahitian attire for the various numbers performed. The entertaining conclusion to this show was when audience members were invited to join the dancers on-stage for some "Tahitan dance lessons." Tahiti Toa's talent-filled presentation proved to be one of the best performances held in the cafeteria all semester, according to many students who enjoyed the performance. Got something to say?

Heading the project was the lead ghoulie himself, Gene Phillips, who with the aid of other IMTS workers and student help created the frightfest. Construction began on the Wednesday before Halloween and finishing touches were made on the day before the opening. In less than one week, the Naio's lower level was covered in fake cobwebs, black curtains and enough black lights to challenge even the best haunted houses on the island. Although the student body atlarge was not permitted to go through the KCC Haunted House, some students were given the opportunity to experience the fun fright. The entrants in the third annual Ghost Story Contest and participants in the OSA Halloween party were given the chance to go through the house, as were the student volunteers who helped make the Halloween celebration possible. KCC's Haunted House opened its doors from mid-morning to 4 p.m. A sizable portion of the college's faculty and staff went through the house of terror, and many of them returned quite impressed with the levels of sophistication and creativity seen in IMTS' work. With ghouls lurking around every dark corner, creepy hands grabbing at your ankles, and the wonderful costumes of the IMTS gang, this haunted house proved to be a delightful terror to all who were fortunate enough to experience it.
