The electrifying atmosphere kept building, as it had since the fans literally stormed the inside of the arena when the gates opened at 7 p.m. almost two hours before the rehearsal began. Finally, the star appeared in his white and glittering costume. The audience went wild virtually without letup through non-stop repertoire of songs.

Elvis thrilled them with songs he made famous in the 50's and his renditions of today's hits. A Waipahu woman, critically injured when she was hit by a car while walking her children to school Tuesday, died yesterday at Kaiser Foundation Hospital. It was the first traffic death of the year in Hawaii. Last year by the same date there had been five traffic deaths in the State, three of them on Oahu.

LOW SAID he didn't fire a shot, however, because there were too many people in the vicinity. Asked by a lawyer about the jeweler's finances, Low said: soon after he entered prison was given a minimum term of 12 years. He was paroled Nov. 1, 1971.

"I've known him since school days," Trent said of Chu. "I know Ronald's got into a lot of trouble, but I don't think he'd do anything like that." Trent said that ever since the 1971 robbery he has not been able to afford to invest in jade. Now he specializes in opals, he said.

He was sentenced to 50 years for that incident, and wears a beard, but in recent months has been clean shaven. TRENT SAID that on the day of the robbery, a man called him and said he wanted to come in and shop for jade at about 5:30 p.m. "About 5:35, I guess it was, in walked this guy and pulled a gun on me," Trent said. "I don't say for sure it was the guy who called me, but the timing was right." Trent said that while his loss in the robbery amounted to about $20,000, he collected only $10,000 in insurance.

"And he was supposed to give us $2,000. But we were supposed to give him back the jewelry.

"But after he didn't give us the advance, we had to take and sell and get the money. We just sold it off." Low said Ronald Chu, an ex-convict who has served time for several violent crimes, helped set up the caper. TRENT, the owner of Jewels by Lemar, called Low's testimony "absolutely ridiculous." Asked why he thought Low would have lied on the witness stand about such a robbery, Trent said: "That's a good question. I don't know anybody named Bobby Low. Ronald Chu I know." Of Low, Trent added: "I even know him.

I can't see any reason why he'd come up with a story like that. It's very illogical." Trent said the man who robbed him on Nov. 27. 1971, had a full beerd. sunglasses and a hat pulled low over his face.

LOW TOLD the Federal court jury in Sacramento that in November 1971 about three months after he was paroled from State Prison and before he joined Pokini's alleged gang he robbed a jewelry store at the Wailana, a condominium at 1860 Ala Moana. Police records show the only robbery of a jewelry shop in the Wailana in November 1971 occurred at Jewels by Lemar, owned by Martin Trent II.

By TOM KASER Advertiser Education Writer Nearly 300 students from 74 public and private secondary schools tangled with parliamentary procedure at the Ilikai Hotel yesterday, and lost. The occasion was the closing session of the two-day 1973 State Student Conference, and the idea was to vote on approximately 20 resolutions that came to the floor for action. Because of "hassles" over parliamentary procedure and maintaining general order, only eight of the resolutions made it to the floor. Seven of them passed, and one was rejected.

THE ONE that was rejected proposed that if a student wants to take a course that is not offered at his school, but it is offered at another school, he may do so if the other school has a similar student to exchange. The measure was rejected because this procedure is already permitted by the Department of Education, although few students are aware of it. The seven resolutions that passed are: A "Student Bill of Rights," which proclaims, among 24 other things, that a student's person, locker, papers or property shall not be searched or seized "without the proper warrant."

He therefore suggested that the Administration be requested to study all aspects of the fireworks ordinance as well as to provide statistics regarding fireworks-related injuries and arrests. THE COMMITTEE also requested data from the State Department of Health concerning pollution hazards of widespread fireworks usage and health hazards to persons with respiratory ailments.
