SEMIFINAL SHOWDOWN TONIGHT: CHAMINADE SILVERSWORDS BATTLE UH BOWS

Chaminade Men's Basketball Team win against Villanova yesterday brought jubilation for Chaminade fans at the Maui Invitational. The fans seriously waved dark blue towels in the air, jumping up and down in the stands as the ball moved across the court. The 52-49 upset win brought back memories of Chaminade's shocking overthrow of the the No. 1 ranked Virginia in 1982. Put the game in perspective: The Maui Invitational is considered one of the most prestigious tournaments in the nation. The Silverswords have had a long losing streak of 30 consecutive games since 1992. But that all changed yesterday morning when the sun broke through at the Lahaina Civic Center for the Swords.

But one battle does not make the war. Last night the UH Bows beat Santa Clara 56-43, making UH tonight's contender. Two Hawaii teams will go head on head at 5 PM in Lahaina. You can catch the game on ESPN 2 at 5PM.

There will be a student pep rally at the Silverswords Cafe at 5PM as students eat, watch the televised game, and cheer the Swords to victory (see notice in bulletin section below).

CHRISTMAS ON CAMPUS NEEDS YOUR HELP!

“Kaminaka Celebrates Kalikimaka” will be held Friday, December 5th from 4:30-8 PM on campus. The entire campus community is invited to participate to help the 11 homeless families that will join us from the I.H.S. Family shelter have a joyful Christmas celebration. Not only is this a time for us to spread the spirit of the season, but it is also a time for us as a campus community to celebrate Christmas before many students leave campus for the holidays.

The evening will begin at 4:30 PM with a prayer service in Mystical Rose and will proceed to the Henry Hall Courtyard for a Christmas dinner, games and entertainment. Dinner tickets are currently on sale for $5.00 each in the Henry Hall Courtyard from 12 noon – 1 pm every day until Dec. 5th or tickets can also be purchased from Dr. Gail Grabowsky (BS 107) 735-4834, Shirley Lynn (FH 117) 735-4713, Ann Lujan (KH 12) 739-4673.

We are encouraging everyone that will join us for the dinner to purchase a dinner ticket! Students may also use their meal plan. Purchasing a dinner ticket helps offset the cost of this event and supports the gift purchases for the families that will join us. New this year... another way to support the Christmas on Campus event would be through the purchase of a t-shirt or sweatshirt, also on sale in the Courtyard or through the Campus Ministry Office, t-shirts are $7.00, sweatshirts are $12.00. General donations to support our efforts are also welcome, we just might throw in a t-shirt! If you would like to help serve dinner, set or clean up, host a family or make a donation, please contact Bro. Brian in Campus Ministry at 440-4289 or bhalderm@chaminade.edu. bhalderm@chaminade.edu.

 

They did it! They really did it!
