Every year the University of Hawai`i-Manoa prints a student/faculty directory, giving the name and address of every student and employee of the university, except those who make requests not to be included.
Although it is certainly convenient and beneficial in some respects, the very nature of he university's semester-based schedule renders a significant portion of the directory's information obsolete by the time it is made available.
Transferring students, exchange students, fall graduates, and incoming spring students all have irrelevant information listed.
A better way to disseminate student information is through class lists. Professors could pass a sheet around each class section on the first day after the drop deadline, and then submit the list to their respective department offices to make copies.
Such a shift would produce a savings for the students, who help fund the printing with their activities fees, and provide students with better service.
Students have until Sept. 11 to make changes with the Office of Admissions and Records for the next directory.
