>>i looked through the issue featured in the article and i couldn't find a single current, urgent, world view article. most of the issue could have been included in the student handbook.<< 

If we are talking about the same issue Gary, then the one with the "Manoa Now" cover was meant to be a 48-page  "student handbook" that was produced by the editors for new students attending orientation during the summer and for distribution throughout the year. Ka Leo produces one of these every summer (in lieu of a "news"paper that week) because incoming students find the content useful and advertisers want a vehicle for reaching them.
