HALAU it shall be

[Dustin Cross]

I would just like to point out that changing the name of LUAU will be like when UH 
changed the name of the football team.  They are no longer the Bows, but everyone 
still calls them the Bows!  LUAU has been LUAU for something like nine years and 
changing the name will not change anything about what LUAU is and has been.
