Campus expansion estimated at $150M
KCC upgrades will include
a parking structure with
1,099 stalls, new buildings
By Trevor LaTorre
COPY EDITOR
Shoulder to shoulder, students
suffocate one another to make it to
class. Regardless of how you dress
it up, 9,400 students can't be sidestepped. Space is a malignant issue
that has permeated the campus and
caused such uproar that Kapi'olani
Community College administrators
began to hear the harrowing pleas
of students trying to find parking in
Lot C.
Earlier this semester the University of Hawai'i Board of Regents
approved in concept - withholding
a few stipulations - the Long-Range
Development Plan for KCC. The
developer, PBR Hawai'i Inc., is hoping
to add 195,000 gross square feet- all
of which has yet to be appropriated and 1,099 parking stalls.
According to PBR Hawai'i Inc.
estimates, the preferred plan - which
includes parking structures - will
cost $150,772,053. Meaning that
if this project were to be entirely
student-funded each student - out
of 9,400 - would have to stumble
around for $16,039.58. Although not
quite a fathomable number, it sheds
light on how much state universities
rely on taxpayers' dollars.
KCC has done its best to mitigate
space issues, said Louise Pagotto,
vice chancellor of Academic Affairs.
Nevertheless, with approximate
enrollment figures at 9,400, students,
teachers and administrators have
seen face-to-face courses drop and
hybrid and off-site courses reach an
unprecedented high. And yet, there
isn't enough space.
The last major renovation to KCC
finished earlier this year with the
construction of the Kahikoluamea
Center and the addition to 'Iliahi.
KCC officials knew that something
had to be done and began serious
inquiry a year and a half ago into a
development plan that would ease the
concerns of not only those directly
associated with KCC but also the
neighborhood.
"The BOR commended our efforts
in getting input from the neighbor-

The development master plan, created by PBR Hawai'i, Inc., provides a projected map of KCC when the $150 million construction will be completed. The last
major renovation to occur at KCC was the 'Ilia hi building and the construction of the Kahikoluamea Center, which was completed earlier this year.
hood;' Pagotto said.
With about 1,174 parking stalls
located either on campus or on KCC
service roads, the surrounding neighborhoods - Kaimuki and Kapahuluhave been directly impacted by the
school's inability to provide adequate
parking for so many students. Quite
simply, not only does KCC have a
space problem but also a capacity
issue, said Kalani Fujiwara, a professor at KCC.
Students, teachers and faculty
members hope that the expansion
and developmental plan will alleviate
this problem.
Thanks in part to the on-campus
terrain, KCC is able to comply with
height restrictions set by the state
and surrounding neighborhoods. By
burrowing out hills, parking structures and other buildings are able to
accommodate heavy traffic while also
not impeding residents' ability to see

the ocean.
Pagotto said that while a parki ng
structure may not encroach upon the
neighborhood height restrictions,
the college would still be able to have
fo ur stories and a classroom on top
of that.

Grant promotes
math readiness
By Joie Nishimoto
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
The KCC Service-Learning program is continuing to expand. The
program has recently received a
$25,000 grant this semester.
According to outreach coordinator Melisa Orozco, the subgrant
was provided by the Hawaii Pacific
Islands Campus Compact and the
Corporation for National and Community Service. The funder is Learn
and Serve America.
"Last year was the first in 15 years
that we got funds;' said Orozco.
Orozco said the grant will be used
to help the program reach out into the
community to improve youth skills in
subjects such as math and science.
"There's a specific focus this time
around;' she said. "This time we're
looking at calculus readiness:'
She said that the calculus readi ~
ness plan does not imply a focus on
calculus itself, but rather, getting students in middle and high schools to
be prepared for calculus.
"We want to get youngsters into
math and science;' Orozco said. "We
see that a lot of young people aren't
ready for it. Our goal is to develop
and expand math and science readiness and interest:'
The Service-Learning program
will work alongside Palolo Learning
Center, UH-Manoa and Windward
Community College to host calculus
readiness camps next summer. Service-Learning may work with KCC's
Science, Technology, Engineering
and Mathematics (STEM) program
to increase math and science readi ness.
The calculus readiness camps will
last for eight days at the wee campus,
and will consist of morning math ses sions taught by KCC instructors and
Service-Learning volunteers.
Following the math sessions, in
the afternoon students will participate in a hands-on applied math or
science class.
"We want to find innovative ways
that show how important math and
science are;' said Orozco. "If you give
a kid something science-related but
dumbed down, they might take the
easy way out:'
RIE MIYOSHI/KAPI'O
The Service-Learning program's office, located right next to Subway at the Ilia hi building, offers help for students interested in serving the community. The program will host summer intensive math and science readiness camps at WCC.
Orozco said that she will begin
recruiting students and fac ulty beginning this semester.
In addition, sh e hopes that
through this grant, KCC will be able
to take action against a growing prob!em among young students today.
"This grant helps us to focus on
this mass problem ;' she said. "If the
Culinary restaurant to reopen
U.S. is a competitor for the world
and high school graduates are not
prepared (for higher math and sciences), they're more likely to fall off
the bandwagon:'
Orozco said there may be a disproportional representative of students
at KCC taking higher math courses
versus rem edial math courses.
Counselors advise,
aid students in their
academic planning

This coming Wednesday, the 220 Grille on the second floor of the Ohia bulding will reopen to the public. The 220
Grille offers a wide variety of dishes, all created to perfection by the students in KCC's culinary program.
Som etimes it's difficult to decide
what courses to take or which direction to head in fo r academic planning.
There are ways that students
can plan efficiently with help from
campus counselors to avoid confusion.
Academic advising is widely available on the Kapi'olani Community
College campus. Counselors and
links on the KCC Web site are available for students to use as a source
when planning their academic path
and career pathway.
In the advising sessions, counselors can help students to explore their
strengths, interests, goals and values
based on their experiences.
It can assist them in deciding
a major and what they want their
career to be.

want to do, but aren't aware yet:'
Harris said. "They may just need to

The academic advising syllabus is
another tool to help students better
understand what academic advising
is and what it can do to help them.
It also teaches students how to
prepare for an advising session.
"It is always better for students
to seek academic advising earlier
so they have more time to prepare;'
Harris said.
Still relatively new, the syllabus is
not available online but will soon be
accessible to students.
According to the syllabus, in five

New art exhibit
exposes drastic
approach to the
human figure
By Alika Pfaltzgraff
STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER
The Koa Art Gallery is currently
featuring a three-person art exhibition entitled, "Caution, Righteous,
Thirst;' featuring artists Calvin Collins, Mark Maresca, and Dieter Runge,
all of whom recently graduated from
the University ofHawai'i Manoa with
a master's degree in fine art.
At first glance, the collection
might seem incongruent, given their
radically different perspectives.
As curator David Behlke put it,
"They each have drastically different
approaches to the way they approach
the human figure:'
Indeed, it is the human figure the common denominator engrained
in this artistic menage a trois. The
name of the exhibit correlates to a
theme present in each artist's work.
Righteous: Mark Maresca, an art
teacher at the Academy of the Pacific,
displays his affinity for sensationalism in his section.
Pieces like "Not Quite Super"
reflect our cultures declining values,
crippled visionaries borne out of a
corpulent populous that's been fed
off of the daily depictions of digital
depravity.
A searing indictment of modern
societies carnivorous liaison between
consumer and supplier. We've fallen
victim to a malicious, and conscious
desensitization by degenerate adexecs, lacking an iota of morality.

questions for their counselor.
It's also helpful to review their
Academic Journey, which is available under STAR degree check on
the MyUH portal.
Transfer students must provide
transcripts from outside the UH
system.
It's recommended that students
seek advice from a counselor in the
field of their interest, the earlier the
better.
A good time for students to start
planning schedules is a few weeks
before registration starts.
It's important to make note of
Maresca's unbridled restraint
lends itself to the importance of the
imagery that haunt his pieces.
He's lined the walls with macabre disfigurements evoking visceral
reactions by all who dare to purvey.
Jagged shards of glass genuflecting to
a caustic replication of a surfboard.
Yet for all his malice, his weapons of choice are magazine collages,
acrylic paints, and foil. We should be
so lucky.
Caution: Collins' work comes
from a deeply personal conflict with
self-identity.
The subject of Kapi'o Magazine's
recent artist profile, his work deals
with racial and gender abstractions,
often leaking into the realms of the
surreal.
His collection being showcased
entitled "Self Portraits of The Black
Child I Never Was" is a series of
carefutly painted depiction of three
anguished youths, struggling to come
to terms with themselves.
The deep sorrow imbued in these
pieces serve as a caveat to those on
the brink of familial dysfunction.
Thirst: Runge's work is arguably
the most stable of the lot, featuring
a series of sterile paintings grounded
firmly in this world.
Her paintings exhibit a penchant
for American quiescence, capturing
lithe slices of intimate moments that
would otherwise be lost to time.
Her work cushions those who
the counselor's walk-in days and
times for future reference.
One of the most essential things
students must do to prepare is to
record and keep important KCC
documents, including advising sheets
from counseling sessions, STAR
degree audit reports and the transfer
evaluation report.
Even though students receive
help from KCC to decide on careers
and majors, it is ultimately up to the
student to make the final decision.
It's beneficial for students to
know how to calculate their GPA
to help determine their academic
standing.
After seeking advising from
counselors, students may understand more about themselves as well
as what they want for the future.

are damned good.

Murata was the recipient of this year's UH Manager's Award. Murata has more than 20 years of work experience in libraries, 12 of them being at UH-Miinoa's Hamilton Library and nine years at KCC.

ASSISTANT ADVISER
When the 2004 flash flood ripped through UH-Manoa's
Hamilton Library completely destroying the ground floor, Susan
Murata left her post at KCC, strapped her mud-clearing attire on
and treaded through the debris looking for anything salvageable,
thus starting the six-month recovery for the library.
"I climbed into that mud, looking for prescription glasses or
any type of memorabilia that was important to the staff, then I
started looking for priceless books;' Murata said. "It was important that we made the people who worked at the library a prioritY:'
According to various library staff members, KCC's head
librarian is notorious for these acts of altruism. So when it came
to nominate someone for the Governor's Award and UH-Manager of the Year Award, Susan Weber, reference librarian, along
with other library staffers, made certain Murata was nominated.
While Murata didn't receive the Governor's Award - Civil
Defense Telecommunications Officer George Burnett was the
recipient- she was awarded the UH Manager of the Year Award.
"It was a total surprise when I found out that I was nominated;' Murata said. "I was so embarrassed; I don't like being
in the spotlight. Then, it was more embarrassing when Shellie
(Murata's secretary) called my mom."
Weber noted in the nomination form that Murata's humble
attitude makes her a successful manager that people are thrilled
to be in the company of.
"Susan fosters a collaborative work environment and encourages others;' Weber said. "She is approachable and open to ideas.
She listens, she is thoughtful and she is decisive:'
During her tenure as head librarian, Murata has undertaken
several projects that moved KCC's Lama Library from a modest
operation to a 21st Century model organization.
When Murata arrived at KCC in 2001, there were only three
desktop computers available to students. Furthermore, none of
the computers could access the Internet. Today, there are 135

public computers, including 59 laptops and 76 desktops, and
wireless access to the Internet throughout the library.
In addition, in 2006, Murata spearheaded a $5.2 million renovation of the library's air conditioning system and reconfiguration
of the library. According to Weber's nomination form, Murata
worked seamlessly with contractors and staff to relocate personnel and move 75,000 books, 35 pieces of art, numerous fixtures
and equipment, and more than 300 chairs and desks from the
first floor to the second floor while keeping the library open.
"I am pleased that this award has brought recognition to
Susan, the Library and Learning Resources staff and the entire
KCC community;' Weber said. "It is a well-deserved honor and,
like some library books, long overdue:'
HER PASSION FOR LIBRARIES
Murata was 5 years old when she realized she wanted to
become a librarian.
"I always knew I was going to be a librarian;' she said.
''Although it's not the same as I thought when I was a kid, I
thought I was just going to be able to read all day, and that would
have been the coolest job. I'm really geeky:'
While she doesn't get to read all day - not books, anyway,
more manuals - she still loves her job.
For more than 20 years, Murata has worked in libraries.
After receiving her master's degree from UH-Manoa in library
sciences in 1986, she worked at Hamilton Library for 12 years.
"Susan was very vibrant and smart and she caught on to everything very fast;' said Jacqueline Ching, a former library technician for Hamilton Library that worked closely with Murata.
"There was something about her personality that made everyone
get along with her. I really liked working with her:'
Although Murata worked her way up to become one of the
department heads for Hamilton Library, she felt it was time for
her to move on to bigger challenges.
The head librarian position at KCC opened up; she applied
and got the job.
THE FUTURE: WHAT'S NEXT?
In addition to being UH's Manager of the Year, Murata has
just been appointed a commissioner for the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (AC]C) .
Murata, along with 18 other ACJC commissioners, will visit
142 colleges across California, the pacific islands and Hawai'i to
ensure that they're all meeting ACJC standards.
She'll also use this opportunity to bring changes to KCC.
Visiting the different colleges will give Murata the chance to see
what methods other colleges are using to make sure they're meeting ACJC standards. If those methods differ from KCC but are
effective, she'll look into implementing them at KCC.
"It's about envisioning what the students want and giving it
to them;' Murata said. "''m proud to be working with a staff that
wants to help foster an environment that helps students:'

Transfer schools with ease
By Remington Taum
STAFF WRITER
The time of year has rolled around where students who plan on transferring should be filling
out applications or have just started thinldng
about transferring to a four-year university.
There are undoubtedly a list of questions that
pop into students' minds as to how to transfer and
where they should go.
Throughout the transferring process, students
can often run into problems with fast approaching deadlines or figuring out a major.
KCC counselor Stephen Harris explains that
a number of students don't realize that specific
majors might require certain courses before getting into the targeted course.
Those transferring should also keep in mind
that certain majors may have a separate set of
requirements along side the general education
requirements for the college itself.
Harris also explains that for majors like culinary or business programs, those classes don't
transfer.
Instead of the course preparing them for a university, the course is designed to prepare them to
work a specific job.
An example of a specific non-transferable
course would be airline ticketing under the tourism and hospitality major.
Not only do students think about what their
major will be, but also the area in which they'll be .
attending school.
It's important for students to be in an area they're
comfortable living in. Gemma Williams, counselor
for the Maida Kamba Center, shared that some students wait till last minute to pick a major.
Instead of holding off, they should be able to
identify where they would like to go during their
second year at KCC.
Elective classes that will accompany the major
can be taken once a student has decided. Those
courses will be applicable to the desired major.
Having a backup plan of different major
choices will help students out just in case they
decide to switch.
"It's good to have some options;' Williams
said. The Maida Kamba Center offers career
assessment tests to help those narrow down their
interests and to help determine what major may
suit them best.
Another assessment focuses closely on personality to help students look at themselves to
figure out skills.
Career workshops are offered to assist in
career choice, change in major and or those undecided.
Knowing what is involved in the transfer process and being aware of school requirements will
help students in their moments of the final decision.

Last-minute election tips for the undecided
By Joie Nishimoto
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
This November, voters in Hawai'i will soon have the
chance to determine the fate of who will be in political
power thereafter. Several different candidates will be running for governor, lieutenant governor, 1st congressional
district and 2nd congressional district.
Previous U.S. representative Neil Abercrombie and
Lt. Governor James "D uke" Aiona will be running for the
governor's seat. Each candidate will be bringing to the
table different focuses on an array of issues.
Alongside Abercrombie, is Brian Schatz, who is a
former chairman for the Democractic Party of Hawai'I
and will be running for lieutenant governor. Accompanying Aiona, state House Minority Leader Lynn Finnegan
will also be running for lieutenant governor.
According to the Star-Advertiser, U.S. Representative
Charles Djou, who currently holds the 1st congressional
seat as the first republican to represent Hawai'i in Washington D.C. in two decades, will face state Senate President Colleen Hanabusa again to maintain his position.
As for the candidates for 2nd Congressional District,
U.S. Rep. Mazie Hirono will face off against John Willoughby, republican. Then again there is U.S. Rep. Daniel
Inouye who will run for his ninth term against republican
Cam Cavasso.
HOW TO VOTE AT YOUR POLLING PLACE:
·Go to the information and ballot demonstration
station, which will be located outside the polling
place.
·Go to the poll book station and you will be asked
to sign the poll book
• Receive your ballot at the ballot issuing station.
Inside the folder you will see instructions on what
to do next.
• Lastly, cast your ballot in the ballot box.
Race for governor
Race for 1st Congressional District
Issues to consider
Neil Abercrombie (Democrat):
Abercrombie, who represented
Hawai'i's first Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives in 1990, resigned this year
to run for governor. With nearly 20
years of experience, Abercrombie's stances include support for civil unions. The Hawai'i State Teachers Association has voiced their support for Abercrombie, as well as
friend President Barack Obama.
Colleen Hanabusa (Democrat):
Hanabusa, with 12 years of legislative experience and four years as the president of Hawai'i
State Senate, has earned the support of former
U.S. President Bill Clinton and current President Barack Obama. Hanabusa believes that the
stimulus bill needs to be controlled, however, she is also confident that
the road to economic recovery has begun. In addition, while Hanabusa
is an opponent of the war in Iraq, she does support Obama's efforts in
Afghanistan.
Appointed school board
As an attempt for drastic public school reform,
voters will be asked if they prefer to elect members
of the Board of Education or to have the governor
appoint members. According to the Star-Advertiser,
this has been placed on the ballot partly due to last
year's furloughs, which left thousands of students
with the shortest instructional calendar in the nation.
The American Legislative Change Council's yearly
report of public education systems gave Hawai'i a
grade letter D for identifying quality teachers.
Duke Aiona (Republican):
Aiona was elected eight years ago
as the lieutenant governor of Linda
Lingle. He supports clean and
renewable energy usage, hoping
that Hawai'i will generate threefourths of its power through renewable energy by 2030. He
has the endorsement of Hawaii Island Contractors' Association and UH's Vili the Warrior and Sports Hawai'i.
Charles Djou (Republican):
At just the age of 40, Djou is filling Abercrombie's seat until the election. He is the first Republican to represent Hawai'i in Congress in two
decades. A former army reserve captain, Djou
believes the war in Afghanistan is necessary and
that U.S. troops need to stay committed to building a stable country
there. Djou has received support from National Federation of Independent Businesses, Trust in Small Business and Paychecks Hawai'i.
Rail transit authority
This question on the ballot will ask voters whether
to make amendments to the Revised City Charter to
create a public transit authority to manage the oversight of the $5.5 billion rail project. The authority
would be in charge of handling all aspects of the rail
transit system, which includes acquiring land and setting proper fares.

THE VIEW WE TAKE
Voter turnout still at a low, despite high record-setting youth votes
With the 2010 general election
just one day away, politicians have
been scrambling to get their voices
out to the residents ofHawai'i.
The most important campaigns
this election season are the races
for governor, lieutenant governor
and U.S. representative. The two
primary candidates for governor are
Democrat and former U.S. House
of Representative Neil Abercrombie
and Republican Duke Aiona, who is
currently the lieutenant governor of
Hawai'i.
Also an important race is for
U.S. Representative. This seat has
been open to replace Abercrombie's
seat following his resignation in late
2009. The two candidates are Colleen
Hanabusa (Democrat) and Abercrombie's successor, Charles Djou
(Republican).
Voting is crucial, no matter what
the race. Whether it be for president
or mayor or even district representative, voting presents an opportunity
for a person to get involved and
input his or her opinions and suggestions regarding the way things are
run in a society.
The action of voting is a right that
was given to all citizens of the United
States through the amendments of
the Constitution.
The 24th Amendment states, "the
right of citizens of the United States
to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President,
for electors for President or Vice
President, or for Senator or Representative in Congress, shall not be denied
or abridged by the United States or
any State by reason of failure to pay
any poll tax or other tax:'
In addition, the 15th Amendment offers "the right of citizens of
the United States to vote shall not
be denied or abridged by the United
States or by any state on account of
race, color, or previous condition of
servitude:'
AP
There are big races at this year's general election. Among the races are for governor, with Lieutenant Governor James "Duke" Aiona and former U.S. Representative Neil Abercrombie. According to the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, this year's voter turnout was a disappointing 40.5 percent, lower than the 2004 election.
Society should take advantage of
this right. People are quite prone to
whine and complain about certain
laws that get passed or about certain
politicians who get elected into
office. If people are not satisfied with
the current state of the government, then they should stop making
complaints and walk into the nearby
voting booth.
The Honolulu Star-Advertiser

About 24 million people from the

Breakfast bites
Michael Pitt (left) and Steve Buscemi (right) act in a scene together in Martin Scorcese's new hit series, "Boardwalk
Empire," on HBO. HBO shows provide viewers with more time to get to know characters r~ther than a two-hour movie.

uncertain future in "The Wire.''
Even if you're not exactly the avid breakfast eater, it might be kind of nice
to join the crew every now and then. It can be hard to find a decent place
to order or drive thru to get a nice morning meal. Sometimes just a cup of
coffee or a simple doughnut will do.
If you're stuck in the morning on what to eat or need somewhere to grab
some fast food, check out the Top 10 places to eat breakfast. Maybe some of
these places might put you in the mood to eat some breakfast foods.

Paradise Bakery and Cafe
• Located in the Ala Moana
Shopping Center food court, dive
into an assorted muffin tray, or
even a bagel and cream cheese for
$3.75. The simple things sometimes make for a better breakfast.

Starbucks Coffee

breakfast sandwiches. It's a two-inone deal, a wide variety of coffee

Their most recent show, Martian Scorsese's "Boardwalk Empire;'
offers a unique take on the prohibition era and the toxic ramifications
of government involvement. Starring
Steve Buscemi and Michael Shannon,
the show carries the violent flare of
Scorsese's previous work, while offering a more involved narrative to the
viewer. It's not as alienating as most
period pieces, and it carries a pace in
line with HBO's ae thetics.
What makes these shows so emotionally engrossing is the amount of
time allotted for the writers, who are
able to develop narrative arches more
than 12 to 13 hours instead of a film's
usual two, giving viewers more than
enough time to get to know characters, develop their relationships and
witness their downfalls. We develop
an emotional connection to them,
and in doing so, vicariously experience their triumphs and traumas.
The television industry looks good
right now, better than its film counterpart, which is an exciting prospect
for those unwilling to leave the couch
for entertainment.

Zippy's
• Need to keep it in here. Zippy's serves a variety of breakfast
foods, from waffles to omelets.
Either way, Zippy's always has
a homey feel and starts serving
breakfast at 11 p.m. Perfect place
to go for a late night meal.
1
McDonald's
• All right, I know that it's
McDonalds, but hey, they do have
a good egg McMuffin, right? Plus,
the price is pretty good, especially
if you're in a hurry or on a lower
budget.
6
L&L Drive Inn
• If you're an early bird, L&L
has you covered. They serve breakfast from 7 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. and
you can even a grab a plate lunch if
you feel like it.
good oatmeal and smoothies. Why
not settle down for some hot slowcooked oatmeal.
4.
IHOP
OK, how can yo u not have fun
with pancake flavors ranging from
the original buttermilk to strawberry banana? Your taste-buds
will thank you once you leave this
place. They also have pretty good
breakfast sandwiches too.
3
The Original Pancake House
• How can you go wrong with
a wide selection of breakfast
options? Fresh fruit crepes, potato
pancakes and even cereal. Located
on Kapi'olani Boulevard, be sure to
head over there early, once 9 a.m.
rolls around, the wait for warm
pancakes is rather lengthy.
2
Bogart's Cafe
• It's tough to top a Bogart's
sandwich- turkey and cheese with
a choice of bread- but their breakfast is even harder to beat. Check
it out for yourself one day before
school in the morning.
1
BC Burrito
• Sometimes it can be hard to
find a place that makes good burritos. Well, this is it. Serving from
8 a.m. to noon, Tuesday to Friday,
believe me, the breakfast burrito
will fill you up for a long time.
And, there will probably be leftovers for lunch.
