SCIENTOLOGY UNDER ATTACK Masked protestors urge vigilance

Protestors gather in front of the Church of Scientology in Chinatown to publicize their dispute with the church’s practices Sunday
morning. The protest was organized entirely online and executed in major cities across the globe yesterday. One protestor said, “We
wear these masks to hide our identity because Scientology has a policy of harassing and abusing those who speak out against it.” The
protestors urged citizens to educate themselves.

the hearing on Thursday.
On Feb. 2 nearly a dozen
supporters from a variety of back-

move ACM to the fledgling West

Supporters included two key
members of the Lingle adminis-

for the Department of Business,

ny: “An Academy for Creative

Campus is a much needed step
in expanding ACM’s reach. By
establishing a program at UH’s
West O‘ahu Campus, many stu-
dents who would not otherwise
have the opportunity to participate
in the ACM will be able to enroll
in a variety of classes and pursue
careers that may not have been as
accessible to them.”
