FALL REGISTRATION. The dates for fall law school registration have been moved to Thursday May 1st, Friday May 2nd and Monday May 5th. Registration will take place at the FRONT DESK, and not online as previously announced. LAW SCHOOL AIR CONDITIONING PROJECT. This long-term project to upgrade the air conditioning in the law school building is now in the planning stages. Several new Air Handling Units (AHU’s) will be installed throughout the law school building in locations that will least affect classroom and office space. Work will be scheduled around classroom use, when possible. A team will be at the law school starting on Friday, April 25 to take measurements. ALL UH EMPLOYEES must complete a new enrollment form for health coverage and the beneficiary designation form for life insurance. The new Employer-Union Health Trust Fund (EUTF), effective July 1, 2003, will assume the functions of the Public Employees Health Fund and will begin distribution of forms the last week of April. The open enrollment period is very short (May 1 to May 31). A response is required or coverage is canceled. See BOB DAGUIO for information. TRAVIS MIMURA, a Computer Services student assistant in our law library for the last four years, was nominated by Law Librarian SWEE BERKEY for the 2003 Student Employee of the Year Award. He won the award for the UH Manoa campus in the A4 - A7 category. Travis is also a past ASUH President.
