But the average consumer is most concerned with price and styling, not the cleanliness of the factory or the conditions of the workers who sewed the clothes together. Since the mission of SweatX is less to make a killing than to prove that a worker-oriented business model is possible, they have tried to keep prices affordable, with T-shirts and hooded pullovers ranging from $5 to $20. “We’re not selling nightclub dance wear, but for things that fall into the casual active wear category, you’re going to see some pretty bitchin’ styling,” said Reed. SweatX plans to target a younger demographic, including college students, because they usually have big- ger social consciences and are willing to make a statement with what they wear. For those who are politically moti- vated, SweatX would like to character- ize itself as a kind of anti-sweatshop proposition. Thus, withholding money from the large apparel companies and giving them to socially responsible companies becomes equivalent to “voting” against sweatshops. “It’s a tough road to go, but it’s time that consumers start asking some of the hard questions about where their clothes were made, especially because alternatives are now starting to become available,” Reed said.

To [email protected]. do this, however, the university will need to solicit input from the Native Hawaiian community, an effort the administration has been criminally lax at in the past. ˘Raising faculty salaries from the 20th percentile to the 80th percentile of peer institutions This particular effort will prove key to accomplishing several other goals. We cannot expect top-quality teaching if we are not willing to pay top-qual‑ ity salaries. Unfortunately, this goal requires the cooperation of the state, which — as last year’s strike illustrated — is difficult to gain. Hopefully the administration has some plan to supplement state pay without depending on the state itself. ˘Doubling dorm space A worthy goal. The question is, can we fill them? The primary effort, obviously, should be to make on-campus living more attractive to students. This is not a simple task, considering that students can pay sub-dorm rates at neighboring apartment complexes that do not force meal plans on them Dynamic election in 2002 or kick them out during short breaks.

Fighting against 10 guys with lightsabers, though lacking in the dramatic aspect found in the single player game, is fun. The multi-player game modes are standard issue and include an every-man-for-himself deathmatch, as well as some team games like capture the flag. Besides that, it also has a “Duel” mode that pits players in a one-on-one lightsaber match, as well as a game called “Jedi Master,” where there is only one lightsaber and whoever gets it has the distinct advantage of being the only player able to use force powers. “Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast” is a lot of fun and is eas- ily one of the best action games of the year. It has everything one would expect from a Star Wars game: hordes of Stormtroopers, the music of John Williams, lightsabers and the powers of the dark side. The game does have its low points, like a few frustrating puzzles and a fairly uninspired first mission, but overall it is a highly enjoyable experience, one that is not to be missed. The force is definitely strong with this one. Page 8 Ka Leo O Hawai’i Thursday, May 2, 2002
