The government shutdown on Oct. 1 will affect students the same way it affects all the people of the state, at least in the short term, ac-cording to Vice Chancellor for Stu-dents Francisco Hernandez. “If the shutdown continues into the months of November and December, students may be af-fected because of the lack of gov-ernment services to process some fi nancial aid requests for students entering UH Mānoa in the spring semester,” Hernandez said. At 12:01 a.m. on Oct. 1, the federal government partially shut down after Congress failed to en-act spending legislation with the start of the government’s new fi s-cal year, according to an article in the Honolulu Star-Advertiser.

UNIVERSITY ACT IVIT IES The FBI has had to cancel its booth that was supposed to be at Campus Center on Thursday due to the government shutdown. “The Mānoa Career Center partners with various federal agencies to share about career and internship opportunities through on campus outreach, information sessions, and job/ internship post-ing,” said Wendy Sora, interim director for the Mānoa Career Center. “We are now seeing some federal employers who are unable to be on campus and are not as ac-tive with their current job and in-ternship offerings.”

F INANCIAL AID AND RESEARCH GRANTS The shutdown will not disrupt the awarding of student aid or the services of student fi nancial aid, according to the U.S. Department of Education’s contingency plan.

More than 14 million students receive student aid, in the form of grants and loans, at more than 6,600 schools through Pell Grant and Direct Student Loan pro-grams, which could continue as normal as a result of multi-year ap-propriations, according to the plan.

According to Jodie Kuba, Di-rector for Financial Aid Services at the UHM, the offi ce is currently doing business as usual and all federal aid funding to students is occurring as normal, until the of-fi ce hears differently from Federal Student Aid. If anything changes, notifi cations will be sent out to stu-dents who will be affected.

UNIVERSITY MAY FEEL EFFECTS OF GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWNUNIVERSITY MAY FEEL EFFECTS OF GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN A delay in department obli-gations and payments beyond one week due to the government shutdown could “severely curtail the cash fl ow to school districts, colleges and universities, and vo-cational rehabilitation agencies that depend on the Department’s

funds to support their services,” according to the plan. Associate Dean for Research in the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology Alex-ander Shor said as long as the shutdown is fairly short, there shouldn’t be much of an impact. “The reason is that most of the work we do is federal grants, and once we have the funds, we can use them as we need to,” Shor said. “The government doesn’t have to give us permission once we’ve received them.” If the shutdown continues for a couple of weeks, it will prevent grants from coming in. “It has potential to have real damage to us if it lasts for a long time,” Shor said. Brian Taylor, UH Mānoa Interim Vice Chancellor for Re-search, said the awarding of new federal research grants and con-tracts may be delayed, depending on the length of the shutdown. “However, nearly all sup-port for current students from research awards should be al-ready in hand at UH, and these funds may continue to (be) ex-pended during the shutdown,” Taylor said.

THE SHUTDOWN Associated Students of the University of Hawai'i President Richard Mizusawa said his initial reaction is that he is happy the shutdown won’t affect students directly and cause a negative im-pact on their education. “Having fi nancial aid con-tinuing to run and research awards still in place gives me confi dence that even though we are going through this govern-ment shutdown that we as stu-dents can continue to do what we do here while staying strong that our federal government will do what they need to do what is best for our country,” Mizusawa said. John Mizuno, Vice Speaker for the state House of Represen-tatives, said the shutdown will hurt the system if it continues. “The longer it goes on, the more it’s going to hurt the, not only the students, but the entire UH system,” Mizuno said. “It’s unfortunate.” According to Mizuno, stu-dents can continue to contact their U.S. Senators, Congress-men and Congresswomen. He said many of them have Face-book accounts that they can be reached through. “The point is many students will have the ability to contact their senators and their people in Con-gress and say, ‘Hey, you know, this is really affecting my education, and I don’t think you want to do this. Can you help?’” Mizuno said. According to Mizuno, law-makers are seeking a solution. “I think we just need to ad-dress this as soon as we can.” Mizuno said. “So it will get worse, but again, we’re very hopeful that a resolution will come up soon.”

KA LEO EDITORS:KA LEO EDITORS:

What is the scariest/creepiest What is the scariest/creepiest moment you’ve seen on TV or moment you’ve seen on TV or

in a movie and why?in a movie and why?

““

””

“I think the creepiest thing I’ve seen on TV re-cently was Miley Cyrus’ performance at the VMAs. It severely disturbed me seeing how hard she seems to be trying to act like some sort of sex idol.”

“The scariest moment I’ve ever seen in a movie has to be the scene in ‘The Strangers’ where one of the masked villains watches Liv Tyler drink a glass of water. The scene lasts about 2 minutes long, and it’s very unsettling because the character remains vulnerable for such a long time, unaware.”

“One of very few scary movies I watched was ‘Friday the 13th,’ and the very end of the movie when a character is on a boat feeling safe, and the son comes up out of the water looking all muddy and gross and attacks the boat. I re-member almost jumping out of my seat!”

“The creepiest thing I have seen on TV occurred when I was watching ‘Man vs. Wild.’ Bear Grylls was fi nishing in this frozen lake area and catches a small trout. He is looking at the camera explain-ing how one can eat the fi sh and while he is ex-plaining he just bites into the fi sh, and you see all the guts explode out of the gills. You can hear the guts oozing out, and I’m pretty sure if you listen closely you can hear the fi sh crying.”

“The scariest moment I’ve seen on TV is when that demon/monster thing in ‘Sinister’ showed up in the old home videos the main character would watch.”

“The scene in ‘American Horror Story: Asy-lum’ when Zachary Quinto’s character is revealed as the serial killer, and you realize his furniture is made out of skin. I stopped watching the show after that.”

IKAIKA SHIVELEY

Staff Writer In a town where Halloween is taken seriously, several stories in-tertwine as locals (including Anna Paquin, Dylan Baker, Brian Cox) celebrate their favorite holiday. “Trick ‘r Treat” is a revival of the classic horror anthology fi lms such as “Creep Show” and “Twi-light Zone,” but with a twist. Rather than only focusing on horror, it also has its fair share of dark humor. What makes this fi lm tremen-dous is how it tricks viewers into predicting cliché plot points and then diverges them into a com-pletely new direction. Unknown to most mainstream audiences, “Trick ‘r Treat” is an example of a misun-derstood direct-to-DVD gem.

FEAR VERDICT As an anthology fi lm, “Trick ‘r Treat” is created as stories taken from a comic strip, making it less believ-able. This slightly hinders the fright range of the movie, but it still offers a decent amount of scares ranging from pop-out to supernatural.

Mild gore and fright-ening images.

Last month, the largest march in Kauai history made news as an estimated 4,000 students, children, teachers, farmers and families marched to the County Council building to say they’ve had enough of the unregulated spraying of tons of pesticides on thousands of acres of the island’s best agricultural lands. Hawai‘i Island’s proposed ban on the expansion of GM crops also led to powerful community demonstrations and organized campaigns in support. Kauai’s Bill 2491 passed through committee by a 4-1 vote after hear-ing activists’ testimonies and stories of schools shutting down and dozens of children sent to emergency rooms from the effects of over-spraying of pesticides. This bill faces a hearing on Oct. 8 at the full city council, and the Big Island bill passed through committee as well, now requiring only two votes at the council before being signed by the mayor. It seems our neighbor islands are reaching

a consensus against large agribusi-nesses threatening our health, our water and our lands.

WORLDWIDE EFFECTS OF INDUSTRIAL AGRICULTURE Motivated by the effects of commercialized agriculture in In-dia around the world, journalist P. Sainath fl ew in for the “Land, Water, and Seed” lecture series on campus last week to discuss the agrarian and ecological crises – an event supported and funded by the Chancellor. At Thursday’s lecture on farmer suicide and the agrarian crisis in India, Sainath alluded to the consequences of commoditiza-tion of agriculture by quoting ecolo-gist Edward Abbey, who affi rmed, “Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of a cancer cell.” As farmers have turned away from food crops and toward cash crops such as peppers, cotton and va-nilla, the consequences have turned into a nationwide crisis. With the claims of higher yields and the appeal of pesticide resis-

tance, farmers become victims to the temptation of convenience.

THE TRUTH ABOUT ʻFEEDING THE WORLDʼ With staff and public relations experts working full-time for large agribusinesses, much of the public believes that genetically modifi ed foods and unsustainable agricultural methods like monocropping and over-spraying of pesticides are neces-sary in “feeding the world.” However, the United Nations announced that it is small-scale, sus-tainable farms that are necessary to feed the world. It urges “a fundamen-tal shift towards agroecology as a poverty alleviation measure.” With the growing interest in or-ganic, sustainable methods of farm-ing and permaculture in Hawai‘i and the world, it seems that the tide may be changing. It is crucial for each and every one of us to remember the con-sequences of the glamorized indus-try of big agriculture and to continue to move toward a sustainable future by supporting local, organic farmers – or becoming one yourself.

With so much construction going on, students may overlook one of the most exciting develop-ments at the UH Mānoa campus – the new sand volleyball courts. They are not fi nished yet, but the practice courts are up, and the Rainbow Wahine Sand ‘Bows are breaking in their new digs. Convenience is key for the ‘Bows. Every morning consisted of waking up before sunrise and driving down to Queen’s Beach in Waikīkī to set up nets and get practice started. For players without means of transportation, this was an issue. The Sand ‘Bows were expected to race back to campus to go to their early classes. “It is a relief having practice on

campus now,” junior Emily Mount said. “I hated having to rush to class from the beach because I never got to shower.” Last year UH only hosted one beach tournament, which con-sisted of Hawai‘i Pacific, Chami-nade and Florida International. Queen’s Beach was packed with barely any room left around the court for the players to run. Tourists and locals lined the small beach to watch the ‘Bows in action. With the new beach volleyball stadium, Hawai‘i fans will be able to experience the Rainbow Wahine in a profession-al-level setting. “I am excited for the new facility because more teams will be able to come over to play us,” Mount said. “Last year, we only had one home tournament, and it

became pretty tiring traveling.” Another benefit of the new sand court is the spreading of awareness that UH has a sand volleyball team. Many Hawai‘i students do not know that sand volleyball is even a collegiate sport. UH is known for its power-house indoor volleyball team, but because sand volleyball is so new,only in its third year as a program,it is often overlooked. “Even though most people don’t know about the sand vol-leyball team, we still got a prettygood following last year,” Mount said. “So we are hoping for an even better one this year.” This season, the ‘Bows will be hosting at least three beach tour-naments, so there will be plenty of opportunities for fans and students to catch a few matches.
