[Event organizer Noelani] Jai said that influencing the judges was not the main point. "More than that, we just want to educate folks across the continent, and not just San Francisco," she said. Jai said she hopes to get 300 to 400 at the march although some have suggested as many as 1,000 could show up, given the number of Kamehameha alumni in California.

Jai said that besides the march, alumni chapters are talking about holding candlelight vigils Aug. 19 that would be conducted simultaneously across the country. There are more than a dozen chapters on the Mainland, including those in Washington, D.C., and Chicago.

Kamehameha Schools has asked the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for an extra week to file its petition for a rehearing as the school seeks to overturn last week's ruling that its "Hawaiians-only" admission policy is illegal.

Kamehameha is preparing a petition for a rehearing "en banc," which means that if a majority of the federal court's 28 judges agree, then a panel of 11 judges will rehear the matter in a process likely to take about a year.

In a request filed yesterday, Kamehameha asked for an extension to Aug. 23 from this Tuesday to file the petition.
