DanielTakamura, a communi-cations major, said, “I don’t wantanyonetogotowar,butthere’snotmuch we can do. It’s either us orthemprettymuch.” Bush outlined the Iraqi threatand a possible American responseto a group of 700 individuals cho-sen by the Cincinnati Chamber ofCommerce. He emphasized the biologicalandnucleardangerIraqposes. “While there are many dan-gers in the world, the threat fromIraq stands alone — because itgathersthemostseriousdangersofourageinoneplace,”saidBush.

Hawai’i voters to confront controversySigned affidavits may soon replace actual witnesses

A proposed amendment to thestateConstitution,whichvoterswillbeconfrontedwithontheballotthisNovember, could replace testifyingwitnesses with signed affidavits,City and County prosecuting attor-ney Peter Carlisle told attendeesto a debate about the amendmentMondaynight. Thedebate,whichhadCarlislearguing for the amendment andcriminal defense attorney BrookHartopposingtheamendment,tookplace at the University of Hawai‘iRichardsonSchoolofLaw. Hart countered Carlisle’s argu-ments by calling the amendment a“rather remarkable proposal” andsayingthatprosecutorsshouldpres-ent witnesses able to testify fromfirsthandknowledge. The initial procedure is some-what cumbersome because it pro-tects the innocent and makes thecourtmoreefficient,hesaid. Thirty-seven other statesalready have some form of grandjurybypassinplace,Carlislesaid. The question that will showup on ballot reads: “Shall Hawaii’sconstitutional provision regardingtheinitiationofcriminalchargesbeamendedtopermitcriminalchargesforfeloniestobeinitiatedbyalegalprosecutingofficerthroughthefilingofasigned,writteninformationset-ting forth the charge in accordancewithproceduresandconditionstobeprovidedbythestatelegislature?” Hart said: “The amendmentrepresents the “gradual perniciouserosion of our rights ... in eachof those (37) states there is somecountervailingproceduraldeviceforchecksandbalances.” But Carlisle said the amend-ment is an alternative to the grandjuryandpreliminaryhearingsystemthestatealreadyhasinplace.Only,insteadofcallinglivewitnesses,likepoliceofficersanddoctorswhohavebusy schedules, to testify, they arereplacedbytheiraffidavits. The amendment will have“exactly the same evidence butinstead of live witnesses you haveaffidavits,”hesaid. “YouryesvotetoConstitutionalAmendment#3willnotcausevolca-noes to erupt from the land ... ortidalwaves,”butitwillallowprob-able cause determinations throughhearsayevidence.

areas. We’re concerned that Iraq is exploring ways of using these UAVS for missions targeting the United States.” “On September the 11th, 2001, America felt its vulnerabili-ty ... we resolved then, and we are resolved today, to confront every threat, from any source, that could bring sudden terror and suffering to America,” said Bush. He added, “Failure to act would embolden other tyrants, allow terrorists access to new weapons and new resources, and make blackmail a permanent feature of world events ... and through its inaction, the United States would resign itself to a future of fear. That is not the America I know. That is not the America I serve. We refuse to live in fear. This nation, in world war and in Cold War, has never permitted the brutal and lawless to set history’s course.” After Bush’s speech to the U.N. General Assembly in mid-September, a Ka Leo reporter asked UH political science major Logan Graf if the US should go to war with Iraq. Graf answered, “No! No way in hell. I think the whole reason Bush is going to war is to decrease the focus from economic prob-lems and issues at home.” When asked the same ques-tion, Lawton Mak, a UH senior mirrored Graf’s sentiment: “Not right now, it’s a bad time, the economy is in the crapper. We don’t have enough support. It’s just going to make things worse if we go to war on Iraq.”

Bush said on Monday: “By taking these steps, and by only taking these steps, the Iraqi regime has an opportunity to avoid con-flict. Taking these steps would also change the nature of the Iraqi regime itself. America hopes the regime will make that choice. Unfortunately, at least so far, we have little reason to expect it.” Takamura added, “Honestly, I think we should just do away with Saddam Hussein because he’s just going to cause trouble. I think we should take him out while we still can.” Nineteen-year-old UH stu-dent, Shawna Matsumura said,“Just get it over with already.” Congress has begun to look at legislation forpossible military action against Iraq. A decision fromCongress is expected later this week. Bush said, “The time for denying, deceiving, anddelaying has come to an end. Saddam Hussein must disarmhimself — or for the sake of peace, we will lead acoalition to disarm him.” “We did not ask for this pres-ent challenge, but weaccept it. Like other generations of Americans, we willmeet the responsibility of defend-ing human libertyagainst violence and aggression. By our resolve, wewill give strength to others. By our courage, we willgive hope to others. And by our actions, we will securethe peace, and lead the world to a better day. May Godbless America.”

tionable. Earlier this year, Governor Benjamin Cayetano vetoed a study to determine just how much money would be saved if the amendment were to pass. Hart added that, if adopted, the system would be overwhelmed with extra costs from an increased number of jury trials, which require witnesses to spend even more of their time waiting than the grand jury system already in place. On rebuttal Carlisle argued, “It’s not going to wipe out protec-tions already imposed. “We’re stuck walking around or riding bicycles and it’s time for our state to get out of the ancient world and start driving cars,” he added. That the sky is falling is “pure bunk,” Carlisle said. Hart closed his argument against the amendment by saying: “This is not the way to advance justice when countries around the world are working to destroy our system ... we should do nothing to help them.” The debate, moderated by David Hayakawa, an attorney with Coates and Frey Attorneys at Law, was the opening event for the meet-ing of the Aloha Chapter of the American Inns of Court meeting. The attending group of more than 50 law students, lawyers and guests was greeted by Hawai‘i Supreme Court Chief Justice Ronald Moon.

Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

Epoch of mighty reptiles returnsBy Austin RayThe Maneater(U. Missouri)

(U-WIRE) COLUMBIA, Mo. — Occasionally, a group who really knows what they are doing puts out an album that, at nearly every cor-ner, hints at this knowledge. Jurassic 5 has done just that with its second LP, “Power in Numbers.” Kicking off and ending the album are elements J5 fans will recognize. The first track, “This Is,” is a celeb-rity endorsement of the group, and the last, “Acetate Prophets,” is an epic, mostly instrumental sample. These both bring to mind the simi-lar tracks on the group’s first full-length, “Quality Control.” With these tracks comes a certain sense of comfort for the already-familiar listener. For the newbie, though, they may come off as just a couple of standard tracks. Perhaps more obviously, the titles of certain tracks allude to how self-aware the six men of J5 are. “Day at the Races” is sustenance for the lyrical nutritionist. The ridiculous speed of the rhymes gives a knowing nod to the title. Hints like this are included in further titles. More blatant is “If You Only Knew,” an outright admittance that J5 knows the hidden theme it is employing with “Power in Numbers,” but the listener does not. As a bonus on the track, a flute accompaniment is added that works so well that it’s practically a fifth emcee. Further exemplifying the inside

joke is “Thin Line.” Nelly Furtado is featured on the track, basically doing the same thing she does on every song she’s ever written or col-laborated on. It works though, and the song manages to tread the “thin line” of pop crossover material. Coincidence? Hardly. The album is not without its flaws. As “Hey” begins, astrological signs that have nothing to do with the song are whispered. The song has a great, singsong rhyme style to it, but hearing hushed utterances of “Scorpio, Cancer, Leo” is silly. Luckily, “What’s Golden” serves as proper penance for any minor transgressions “Hey” might have committed. The track brings an eerie beat that would aptly serve as a soundtrack to a haunted house. Chali 2na acknowledges this when, after his trademark “Yo” entrance, refers to himself as the “verbal Herman Munster.” Even that can’t top the chorus, which could serve as a sufficient mission statement for J5: “We’re not ballin’ or shot callin’ / We take it back to the days of yes-yallin’ / We’re holdin’ onto what’s golden.” The new direction J5 is mov-ing in, such as creepy beats or flute parts, make this a great album. The group is walking the “thin line” between holding onto “what’s golden” and revolutionizing the hip-hop world by fulfilling the title of “acetate prophets” that its members have earned. Where will it go from here? “If you only knew.”

Jurassic 5’s second LP “Power in Numbers” blasts onto the music scene with dinosaur-size might. But the album is not without its flaw, which include meaningless lyrics and a few cliche tunes.

“the founding members resolved that the peace of the world must never again be destroyed by the will and wick-edness of any man.” A reflective moment for George Bush II (pictured above) at the united Nations on september 12, 2002.
