For the second time this year, the University of Hawai‘i system was compromised, making alum-ni and students susceptible to identity theft. A professor on the West O‘ahu campus accidentally exposed the private information of 40,101 alumni for almost a year when she uploaded information on an unencrypted server. Gregg Takayama, director of communications at UHM said, “It was an honest mistake” on the part of the professor, and that “nothing is foolproof.” The leaked information includ-ed Social Security numbers, birth-dates, addresses, and academic data among others. The alumni af-fected graduated UH Manoa from 1990 to 1998, and 2001. Students
who graduated between the years of 1988 to 1993 from the West O‘ahu campus from 1988 to 1993 or attended the latter in the Fall of 1994 were also put at risk. The professor at fault, who had retired in June, was conducting a longitudinal study of UH alumni. She thought the server was secure when she posted the information online on Nov. 30, 2009. The pro-fessor also uploaded the informa-tion to her personal computer, in defi ance of school policy. Ryan Mielke, executive di-rector of public affairs at the UH West O‘ahu campus explained that the professor received the information from the Institu-tional Research Office (IRO) at UH over a decade ago. Social Security numbers were involved because that was the “only meth-od of verifiably identifying stu-
dents” 10 years ago. The leak was not discovered by UH, but by Liberty Coalition, a watchdog agency that aims to pro-tect civil liberties and individual privacy. They found the leak by typing “SSN” into Google search. Mielke did not directly state whether or not the professor had the subjects’ permission to ac-cess such information, however in a statement made to the Lib-erty Coalition, one alumna said that “an informed consent was not required for participation” in the professor’s study. “From 2002 to 2004 the UH system put in place stu-dent ID tracking numbers that now serve to ident i f y students” said Mielke, “A similar request [for student information] to -day would not y ield the same data…from a decade ago.”
Mielke said that he has not re-ceived any reports of ID theft from alumni as a result of the gaffe. A hotline was set up in order to field questions from alumni, who “have been very concerned about their personal information and whether they were included in the data,” said Mielke. In addition, Mielke clarified that the UH System information security officials and Google en-gineers are working closely to ensure all f iles and associated files “were deleted from any fur-ther access or viewing.” The breach was reported in several media outlets, including AOLnews. Mielke said that the me-dia coverage was “necessary and important” so that as many of the affected alumni could be notifi ed. This is not the fi rst time such a breach has occurred. The park-ing offi ce on campus no longer records Social Security numbers due to a breach that took place on May 30 of this year. A hacker infi l-trated the UH Mānoa server with a virus which made public the So-cial Security numbers and credit card information of some of the 53,000 people who had registered with the parking offi ce since 1998. The information was available for over two weeks before IT realized the leak, which was discovered only because of a routine audit. Those affected were notifi ed al-most a month later. According to Takayama, the investigation showed the hacker had accessed a computer site in China. In order to further ensure in-ternet security for the University, Mielke confi rmed that IT offi cials “are putting in place many improve-ments to our information security system, including scanning soft-ware, additional training for staff and faculty, and systems intended to greatly reduce or eliminate the risk of further exposure.”

Social Security numbers, grades and other private information of students was publicly accessible over the internet on Nov. 30, 2009. A second security breach involving a hacker also happened on May 30 of this year.

The University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Debate and Forensics So-ciety (DFS) has not let a public education stop them from compet-ing with the best. Undergraduate debators Maria Deguzman, Keoni Davey, Daniel Hugo, Eliot St. John, Sam Swift, and Kyle Dahlin, coached by professor Robert Boller from the speech de-partment, returned from the Yale Inter-Varsity debate tournament, which took place from Oct. 22-24. The tournament is the largest and most prestigious in the country. In the tournament, there are fi ve preliminary rounds of debate, with Worlds-standard seven-minute speaking times. Teams were ran-domly paired in preliminary rounds without regard to speaker points or university affi liation. Awards were given to the top 10 speakers. “Worlds” style is British Parlia-mentary style. Each round has four teams; two are in favor of the motion, and two are in opposition. Each round lasts about an hour. The teams are judged by two or three judges who as-
sign speaker points to each speaker after each round. The most amount of points possible to ear is 28, which, according to the rules, is “Perfect in manner with incredibly effective, convincing, and important matter.” UH teams did not make it to the fi nal round, but still held their own
against Ivy League teams. The UH “A Team” (Daniel Hugo and Eliot St. John) were only two speaker points below the top team, and placed ahead of debaters from Harvard, Stanford, and Columbia. The “B Team” (Ma-ria Deguzman and Kyle Dahlin) was just two points being “A.” New debat-
ers Keoni Davey and Sam Swift of the “C Team” also did well, beating teams from Cornell, Colgate, Clare-mont, and Canadian teams. Maria Deguzman reflected, “I just outranked students from these top schools at a debate tour-nament with my public education.
That says something.” The DFS hosted the Bi-an-nual Warrior Intramural Debate Tournament on Saturday, which featured HCC and HPU teams. The event was open to all Hawai’i college students. Topics included “The death penalty should be abol-ished,” “Dolphins, porpoises, and higher primates should have the same rights as human children” and “Islamophobia is a greater threat than terrorism to the U.S.” Deguzman, Dahlin, St. John and Hugo will be at Oxford University competing at the Oxford Inter-Varsity Tournament over Veteran’s Day Week-end. The event is sponsored by Oxford Union, the world’s oldest debate society. The team was on the morning segment of Hawai‘i News Now. In the interview, Hugo said they were “quite excited. We’re focused on prep.” He explained that topics will be drawn randomly fi fteen minutes in advance. The topics range from “whether porpoises should have rights to euthanasia.” The team went on to debate reporters from the morning show with silly topics such as anonymity vs. celebrity, and whether boys are better than girls.

Students who became familiar with Quick Zone, the convenience store next to the UH dorms, may be scratching their heads over the name change to “The Market.” New features accompanied the name change. The Market has a new fl oor, three new cash registers with the ability to swipe meals off your UH ID without hav-ing to use a separate machine, a big painted sign emblazoned with the “The Market” logo and new, fresh items.
QUICK ZONE HISTORY This change was not the fi rst. In 1999, Quick Zone’s offi cial name was the “Hale Noelani Con-venience Store,” but it was small and served few students. According to Cliff Remata, 12-year supervisor of The Mar-ket, the location was much small-er and business was much slower when he started working. Only three workers were needed back then: a manager, a cashier, and a food worker. They sold a differ-ent kind of pizza, nachos, chili hot dogs, and made-to-order 6 -inch sandwiches. They started their day with four hotdogs on the roll-ers and four to six pieces of Ko-rean chicken. Remata remembers it being so slow that not even the hot dogs or chicken sold out. He said that he would just sit on a stool during his shift since there were hardly any customers. The store’s hours were also different; It was open from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. Sundays through Thursdays. When the Hale Noelani Con-venience Store’s operator left for the mainland after Cliff ’s fi rst se-mester of work, the supervisors from Hale Aloha were transferred
down to run the store. For the next seven years the store went through a number of changes in-cluding removal of the made-to-or-der sandwiches, expansion of the plate lunch menu, and pizzas like the ones at Hale Aloha cafeteria. Simply-to-Go products re-placed the sandwiches, but they were also made by store workers. Along with the new food came another cash register, expanded hours and more customers. The store was open from 4 p.m. to mid-night, and within a few years, an executive from the mainland came up with the “Quick Zone” concept. Quick Zone had new uniforms and theme colors of red, green, yellow and black. The store’s opening time was pushed to 2 p.m. and new TrakCash registers were introduced, which allowed products to be scanned, instead of having the products programmed onto buttons. Quick Zone saw a number of changes with the shift in man-agement, which made the store a completely student-run operation until the new store manager, Max Yamamoto, took charge. Yamamoto was hired last spring. Previously, he worked in the tourism industry managing ABC stores. Under his management, Quick Zone incorporated new items such as musubis, Crush brand drinks, nachos, sushi, melon icees and new features like Happy Hour.
THE MARKET This semester, UH bought the contract for the convenience store and named it “The Mar-ket” with the intention to move it away from the 7-Eleven con-cept and go for a more upscale and healthy appearance. According to Yamamoto, UH’s vision of The Market will turn it into a whole foods store.
However, the store’s new name and premise has drawn mixed reactions from students. “I despise it ... I feel like it ’s a foolish sanitization of what was a really cool pop-cultural reference ... a hallmark,” said UH Mānoa student Travis Cummings. “It’s too generic,” said Cres-cent Starr Moon, a cashier at The Market and Safety Committee Member. Other students echoed those sentiments, saying the name was too “vague” or “confusing.” Michael-Kelly Saiki, sopho-more, said the name change has his friends confusing it with Mānoa Marketplace, Safeway, Foodland and Times. New popular items, according to the book of inventory, include Snyder’s Pretzels, Original Prin-gles, Sue Bee Honey and Indulge Plantation Teas. The Market also has monthly smoothie specials and pizza spe-cials that aim to be a hit with stu-dents. Last week, they introduced POG smoothies and Meat Lover’s Pizza, which is topped with pep-peroni, sausage, bacon and ham. Although The Market of-fers cheaper prices on pizza and happy hour for smoothies, some students feel that prices are still unsuitable for college students. “( It ’s) more expensive than places like Safeway or Times,” said Kaycee Takahashi, senior. According to Takahashi, since most food places close early in the evening, many students shop at The Market since it ’s the last store open on campus and the closest. According to Yamamoto, The Market is always open to suggestions and appreciates student feedback. “We’re lucky,” said Yamamo-to. “Kids have nowhere else to go. We’re here to meet their wants.”

Daniel Ellsberg is living proof that one man can change the course of human history. While working at the Pen-tagon in 1971, Ellsberg leaked secret government documents, known now as the Pentagon Pa-pers, with the intention of bring-ing an end to the Vietnam War.
“The hundreds of thousands we were killing was unjustifi ed homicide, and I couldn’t see the difference between that and mur-der. Murder had to be stopped,” he said of the Vietnam War in the documentary entitled “The Most Dangerous Man in America.” This Saturday, Ellsberg will speak at the Hilton Hawaiian Vil-lage in Waikīkī after a screening of the Academy Award-nominated documentary that recounts the events surrounding the leak of
the Pentagon Papers. While Ells-berg still speaks of the events in 1971 when interviewed, he mostly talks about the parallels between the Vietnam War era and now. On Oct. 23, 2010, Ellsberg joined Wikileaks’ Julian Assange in London to announce the release of the Iraq War Logs. The logs contain 400,000 secret military documents, making it the largest government leak in history. Dur-
ing the announcement, the two men criticized the Obama admin-istration for prosecuting whistle-blowers, just as Nixon attempted to prosecute Ellsberg. The Penta-gon has recently demanded that Julian Assange return all of the classifi ed materials in his posses-sion or be prosecuted under the Espionage Act. Richard Nixon unsuccessfully attempted to pros-ecute Ellsberg for leaking the Pentagon Papers in 1971 under the same act. In 1971, Ellsberg faced 115 years in prison for theft and con-spiracy after giving the Pen-tagon Papers to the New York Times. The trial exposed a gov-ernment or-
d e r e d break-in of Ellsberg’s psychi-atrist ’s office. Govern-ment misconduct led to Ells-berg’s mistrial. Some claim that the crimes ordered by the government in Ellsberg’s trial brought about the in-vestigation of Nixon in the Watergate scandal.
Nixon eventually resigned as a result of Watergate. The leak of the Pentagon Pa-pers inadvertently sparked a se-ries of events that Ellsberg did not originally intend. Ellsberg’s most important legacy is the Supreme Court’s decision in the case of New York Times Co. v. United States. The New York Times won the right to publish the govern-ment classified Pentagon Pa-pers without risk of government censure. This precedent es-sentially allows the press to hold government officials accountable without risk of prosecution, and de-clares that the press is independent from government. Ellsberg often compares the Viet-nam War and the cur-rent war in Afghani-stan. He claims that they are the same war in concept, and that neither is winnable no matter how long they are fought. “They [Ameri-can troops] are not going to get
effective operations out of Afghan troops…we’ve been training them for eight years. Eight more years, 80 more years…will not provide foreign troops the motivation to fi ght offensively against their own countrymen—against the inde-pendence of their own country—for a foreign power.” Ellsberg re-cently said on The Real News. Ellsberg’s work at Har-vard dealt with decision
making under uncertainty. He left Harvard to become a pla-toon leader in the Marine Corps, and later became a U.S. military analyst with an extremely high level of security clearance. He has worked at the Pentagon un-der the Secretary of Defense. He served in the Vietnam War for two years as a civilian in the State Department. The American writer Paul El-dridge said, “History is the trans-formation of tumultuous con-querors into silent footnotes.” The tale of the Pentagon Pa-pers is not forgotten by those that lived through it, but is unfamiliar to younger generations. Ellsberg is a controversial fi g-ure that is either an American hero or a traitor, depending on your per-spective. But he is correct in his no-tion that America is still searching for answers to the same questions that arose in his time: Is govern-ment too secretive? Are our wars just? How will our society be viewed when we are just a footnote?

Staff Writer I may be composing this a bit after the fact, but I think it’s time someone addressed the recent spike in electronic-oriented music in today’s mainstream market. You’re probably aware of Far East Movement’s “Like a G6.” This song is one of the many hits representing a host of newly emerging, techno-infused tracks f looding both nightclub and ra-dio station playlists. For the most part, I don’t re-ject the trend. When I was fi ve
years old, I used to repeatedly listen to an obscure techno CD called “L.A. Style” as I wondered why my mother, who was forced to continuously listen to it in the car, did not seem to share the same amount of interest in the genre. The reason I felt inclined to say something about this is be-cause I feel we are about to wit-ness a dramatic shift in the cul-ture of mainstream music. Whether this shift is good or bad is entirely up to the con-sumer. So far, signs show that the public has embraced the change. Although the change’s point of origin is disputable, I think people recognize the turning point in the music industry to be centered on Kanye West ’s “Stronger” in 2007. The song fea-tured a prominent sample from Daft Punk’s 2001 single “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger.” In the months fol lowing the song’s release, several ar t ists emerged to capital ize on the newfound appeal of electron-ica. A mong them were Lady Gaga, who appeared on MT V’s Boil ing Point , and Katy Perry, who also came out of nowhere. Even when we look at some
familiar artists, we see how techno has inf luenced their mu-sic in recent years. Listen to Rihanna’s latest single “Only Girl (In The World)” which begins with a gentle, upt-empo synthesized beat that cre-scendos into a cathartic, trance-invoked chorus. Compare that to tracks from her debut album fi ve years ago, all of which resembled pop-infl uenced Caribbean. One group that surprised me most with a sudden affi nity for techno was Linkin Park. The once angst-driven, nu-metal alternative band has done some interesting
things with their recent album re-lease, “A Thousand Suns.” My main concern with these changes is how they will affect the quality and diversity of the main-stream artists we know and love. It ’s one thing to have a mar-ket dominated by a certain style or form, but it ’s another to have a market where everything is almost indistinguishable. Imagine if you did not like iPhones but every other phone on the market shared the exact same interface, apps, and soft-ware. The only dif ference would be outward appearance. You’d be frustrated in your attempts to f ind a suitable alternative. Remember when you were growing up and l istening to popular music on your stereo and your parents walked by and asked, “ W hat kind of crap are you l istening to?” Fortunately, the vast realm of available music does not only apply to the mainstream. Even if Eminem ends up sounding exactly like Lady Gaga one day, there are plenty of underground tunes provided by places like KTUH or Pandora to satisfy your ears should you grow weary of what’s on the hot 100.

two minutes or thirty-two minutes it better be the hardest of your life. That’s what we’re looking for.” Arnold wants his team to play a fast-paced style, but said it depends on how the team’s depth develops. For now, the focus will be on relentless defense and ex-ecuting their offense. “I’d eventually like to be a fast-breaking team; I’d like to be a running team. But you can only do that if you have great depth. That ’s still to be determined,” Arnold said. “Our signature will be our defense. We can do that on any given night.” Kurtz feels the players have adapted to Arnold’s system. “We have a good relationship with him and (his) new system,”
Kurtz said. “We’re going to have some fun this year.” Arnold also wants to put an exciting team on the court for the fans and he hopes they enjoy the new-look program. “I’m really excited to start get-ting some reaction from the fan base and get them to know who we are and feel who we are (through our play),” Arnold said. He expects his team to play hard for the fans. “(The players) have a nice spirit to them,” Arnold said. “They’re gonna play with some passion and emotion – it ’s a huge strength. Talent aside, this game is a game of passion and we have that with this group.” And when it comes to expec-
tations for the year, Arnold said the team has three goals: giving their full effort, being relentless in game-preparation and playing with a championship effort. “In time if we take care of those three things, eventually the wins will come,” Arnold said. “That’s how you build a program.”
PROMOTIONS The fi rst 800 fans each night will receive UH fan fl ags. Outrigger Hotels will host the “Shoot for Loot Contest” at half-time of each UH game. During Monday’s ESPN tele-vised game, the fan with the best sign using the ESPN acronym will win an inter-island airline ticket. Signs cannot be larger than four

Ka Leo O Hawai‘i
JOE FERRER
Senior Staff Reporter
Senior point guard Hiram Thompson leads a backcourt of fresh faces. This year’s team features ten newcomers and fi ve new guards. The 6 -foot-3 and 175-pound Thompson is the only returning starter from last year. “He’s the guy I’m gonna look to for great leadership,” fi rst-year head coach Gib Arnold said. Last season Thompson led the team in steals (32) and assists (113). Thompson graduated in 2005 from Oak Ridge High School in El Dorado Hills, Calif. He played one year under at the University of Hawai‘i under then-head coach Riley Wallace, but served on a mission trip the next two years in Des Moines, Iowa, before returning to UH. Now a 23-year-old senior, Thompson feels confi dent in his leadership role. “I’ve always felt like the old guy the past few years,” he said. “I’m used to it.”
The new guards this year in-clude freshmen Bobby Miles, Bo Barnes and Jordan Coleman as well as junior transfers Zane John-son and Anthony Salter. The 6 -foot-6 and 210 -pound Johnson sat out last season at UH due to an NCA A transfer rule. The 3-point specialist attended the University of Arizona for his first two seasons and was a part time starter on the 2008-‘09 Wildcats squad that advanced to the NCA A Sweet 16. The 5 -foot-11 and 170 -pound Salter is a junior college trans-fer from Iowa Western CC where he was considered to be the na-tion’s top point guard according to Rivals’ JUCO Junction. He is recovering from a foot injury and might miss this weekend’s tournament, but should be avail-able by next week. “They’re all hard workers,” said Thompson about his new teammates. “They come in here ready to go. No one is really tak-ing days off.” Arnold said he looks to bring intensity to a program that has
struggled the last three seasons, winning only seven road games combined in that stretch. “Everything we do we give our full effort,” Arnold said. “We’ve been talking about being relent-less in our approach.” A two time league MVP win-ner, the 6-foot-1 and 190-pound Miles said he brings leadership on and off the court. He is a true fresh-man, but could see increased play-ing time as the season goes on. Barnes, another true fresh-man, is expected to be a long range threat. Against Chaminade last week, Barnes was 3-for-3 from beyond the arc and finished with 11 points. Barnes, a 6 -foot-4, 190 -pound freshman from Scottsdale, Ariz., shot an impressive 60 percent from the field his senior year in high school. Thompson hopes his blue col-lar-attitude will rub off on some of the younger players. “I want to bring it every day,” he said. “Just be an example to the younger guys and help build that foundation for the years to come.”

’Bows looking to turn program around
RUSSELL TOLENTINO
Sports Editor
The road to redemption starts now for the Rainbow Warrior bas-ketball program. “We’re gonna come back,” senior center Doug Kurtz said. “We’re gonna put Hawai‘i where it ’s supposed to be.” First-year head coach Gib Ar-nold and the ’Bows open the sea-son against Montana State (15 -14 in ’09 -’10) in the 47th Outrigger Hotels Rainbow Classic tonight. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. at the Stan Sheriff Center. The team will also play Cal-State Fullerton (16 -15 in ’09 -’10) on Saturday at 7 p.m. and Central Michigan (15 -15 in ’09 -’10) at 11 p.m. on Monday in the round-robin tournament. The Central Michigan game will be aired live on ESPN. Arnold looks to turn around a program that was a combined 34-56 the last three years under previous head coach Bob Nash. He’s ready. “I’m really looking forward to it,” Arnold said. “It ’s something I’ve wanted my whole life.” And so are his players. “We’ve been working hard all preseason,” sophomore center Vander Joaquim said. “It’s a whole new program. Last year’s the past; everybody’s different. I think we’re going to be good.” Arnold said the team has watched fi lm on all three oppo-nents but acknowledged it ’s hard to have a scouting report on any team this early in the season. “There’s no fi lm from this year,” Arnold said. “We’ve prob-ably watched 10 games of every op-ponent from last year but their ros-ters have all changed so you don’t really get a good feel of personnel.
“The reality is it ’s gonna come down – for all these teams this early in the year – (to) who executes their own stuff the best,” Arnold continued. There has been no off icial announcement on starters. But in their exhibition against Chaminade last week, senior Hiram Thompson (point guard), junior Zane Johnson (shoot-ing guard), sophomore Joston
Thomas (small forward), senior Bill Amis (power forward) and Kurtz (center) started. However, according to Ar-nold, each member is expected to play hard regardless if they are starting or not. “I don’t put a big emphasis on starting – not even ending,” Ar-nold said. “If you’re going to play
