A giant palm tree stands atop of Daisy Hill. Its giant leaves span the width of the windows of Lewis Hall. After a year break, the traditional Lewis Hall Luau is back tomorrow night.
The tradition of the Luau is at least 20 years old, Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said.
Funds for the event were used for other programs last year, said Shelly Roben-Leojik, Lewis and Templin Hall complex director.
As a part of the tradition, a non-alcoholic tiki bar, video games and karaoke will be featured.
The total cost for the Luau was $3,000. she said.

Roben-Lojaka said Student Housing sets aside $17 per person based on the previous year's occupancy in Lewis for hall programming.
The hall also received $1,000 from the Coke programming Sub-committee and $750 from the Association of University Residence Halls for the Luau.
"The point of this is to have strong programming for our residents so they feel a sense of community," Roben-Lojka said. "We'd like them to have some fun things to experience while they're with us."
If the residence hall was to maximize its potential — about 275 students — it would receive $4,675 a year for programming.
Greg Wellnitz, AURH representative for Lewis and Templin Halls, said he worked many Monday nights until 11 with the executive boards of Lewis and Templin to organize the event.
"If we didn't put on these programs, it would just be a dorm," Wellnitz said. "The Luau will give students a good idea of what it's like
A student walks toward a newly decorated Lewis Hall yesterday afternoon. Hall residents painted a palm tree on the windows of each floor in preparation for the Lewis Hall Luau tomorrow night.
Lewis is not the only hall on Daisy Hill to have large social gatherings. Templin, Hashinger, Ellsworth and McCollum Halls also hold traditional events throughout the year.
Leon Hayner, complex director for Ellsworth and Hashinger, said a small percentage of students' room and board fees pay for the events like "Hashoween," a costume party held in the Hashinger Hall Theater.
to live in the residence halls."
All students are invited to the free Luau. About 300 people are expected to attend the event which will be from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. in Lewis Hall.

The Yellow Power Ranger pets Olathe junior Angie Spehar's dog yesterday afternoon. The Yellow Ranger was out on campus after being asked to leave class. When asked why he was in there, the Yellow Ranger replied, "To keep campus safe."

Supreme Court sifts over religious symbol
LEGISLATION
BY HOPE YEN
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — With demonstrators shouting religious slogans outside, Supreme Court justices questioned, argued and fretted yesterday over whether Ten Commandments displays on government property cross the line of separation between church and state.
Back-to-back arguments in cases from Texas and Kentucky were the court's first consideration of the issue since 1980, when justices ruled the Ten Commandments could not be displaced in public schools.
Clearly reluctant to adopt a blanket ban, the current justice wrestled with the role that religious symbols should play in public life — right down to the Ten
Commandments display in their own courtroom.
Several expressed support for a 6-foot granite monument on the grounds of the Texas state Capitol, but were less certain about framed copies of the commandments in two Kentucky courthouses.
"If an atheist walks by, he can avert his eyes." Justice Anthony Kennedy said in a courtroom filled with spectators, many of whom could be seen glancing at the court's frieze of Moses carrying the tablets.
Banning the Texas display might "show hostility to religion," he said.
The court ruled in 1983 that legislative prayer is allowable, citing its historical significance, but in 1992 said prayer in public schools is not because students may feel pressure to participate.
