I think I work better under pressure.” Tom DiNardo, a staff psychologist at DeWeese Psychological Services, said people who wait until the last minute to do projects may get a high from finishing them just in time because the consequences have become so great. The high serves as a kind of reward, which may be why students don’t stop procrastinating. “They say, `Well, I can wait till the last minute,’ and they do manage to somehow get it done, and it may not be the best thing for them,” he said. Price said she cares about her schoolwork and feels responsible for it. She knows she should start working sooner, but she still procrastinates. “My whole college career has been doing things at the last minute,” she said. “I have gotten better over a five-year time.” Price said she is so busy that she has a hard time organizing and prioritizing her schedule so that school comes first. She often chooses work or friends over schoolwork. “I feel like I am drowning; that there is so much to do and how am I ever going to get it done,” she said. DiNardo said procrastination is not usually a problem that students call on Psychological Services for help with. It is usually a symptom of a larger problem such as anxi- ety, depression, drug and alcohol abuse or relationship problems. Therefore, students do not usually try to cure the procrastination first, DiNardo said. “Procrastination seems to See Procrastinator, page 11 Tuesday, April 2, 2002 Ka Leo O Hawai’i Page 3

Good Friday is a day of remem- brance for the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, the key figure in Christian-based faith. It has no particular significance for Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Shintoists, Wiccans, or any other religion that does not use the New Testament of the Bible as a doctrinal text. It is a day of religious of observances for members of Christian-based faiths. Because of this, the state cannot, in keeping with separation of church and state, officially recognize this holiday, unless it is willing and able to also recognize — and declare a holiday — the holy days of every other religion present in the United States. Campus Voices Obviously, this is an impossibility. So Good Friday should be abolished as a state holiday. Otherwise, the state finds itself giving preference to one faith — something the Constitution forbids. Good Friday could be easily traded for a secular holiday.

Only four percent of the eligible undergraduate student body at the University of Hawai`i at Manoa voted in Associated Students of the UH elections last year. That might be a sociological phenomenon, said a UH professor. Of the 11,458 undergraduate students at UH-Manoa, only 473 voted, many of which, political science associate professor Ira Rohter said, have work and family to put ahead of student life. The student government has no relevance to students’ lives, he said. “Younger people are enormously alienated from the political system.” Also, the undergraduate student body has decreased by more 20 percent over the past eight years. He said another reason for low turnout is the “general malaise of the candidates, there are few young and dynamic political people in Hawai`i.” John Chinen, ASUH senator and vice presidential candidate, said, “It’s kind of sad that voter apathy hits just about every state university. It disheartens me that people don’t care.” ASUH elections will be April 4-5. Kawika Baker, presidential candidate, said these days fall on a Thursday and a Friday, tradition- ally the least attended days of the week at UH. He said he was hoping to extend the election into the following week. He also said it will be difficult to campaign because elections are being held the week after students return from spring break. Chinen said that at a recent ASUH meeting a motion was made i

‘ to amend the election dates and extend elections beyond the two days scheduled. But the motion was killed because, Chinen said, there was awai a general concern that candidates would get more friends to vote. O H There were also concerns about logistics and manning voting booths, eo

K Rohter said, “The campus is becoming like a McDonald’s.

They’re not psycho- logically here, they’re continuing a life away from campus. “Student government is sandbox or playpen politics, people don’t care about anything that doesn’t directly affect their own lives,” he said. Sewell Chan, ASUH senator, said, “I don’t know how to solve it (voter apathy) but someone should.” Rohter said that the UH campus in the 1960s had a vibrant student life because people were coming back from the Vietnam War. Statewide voter turnout was high because Hawai`i Photos by Andrew Photos Shimabuku by was a new state, he said. And the former Republican- dominated government was taken over by Democrats. The most recent spike in student interest in campus politics was a few years ago when Native Hawaiian students got involved, Rohter said. The Native Hawaiian students used student government to make changes. This ended, he said, when former ASUH President Chris Garnier took office in May 1999. Rohter said Garnier was more conservative and “further killed off student interest.” “There’s no activism on this campus,” Rohter said. “I don’t know what it would take to get students excited, maybe subsi- dized cell phones. It’s beyond passivity, its alienation.” “Students don’t care what’s going on in the playpen — there’s no leadership,” he said. Statewide voter turnout is also staggeringly low, Rohter said. Hawai`i ranked last in the nation in voter turnout with only 40.8 percent of voting-age people stepping up to the ballot box, according to statistics compiled by the Committee for the Study of the American Electorate. Only 637,349 people were registered to vote for the 2000 elections and only 58.2 percent of those actually did. But people don’t vote if they think their vote doesn’t matter, Rohter said.

Being a vice president is no easy task. The expectancy of quality leadership is just as high as for Kawika Baker the president. These five candidates are running for vice president of ASUH in hopes of changing and motivating the future student body of the University of Hawaiì at Manoa. Baker is a senior majoring in political science.
