COLLEGE VOLLEYBALL, 7 p.m., KFVE. California at Hawai'i.

"WATERWORLD," 7 p.m., ABC. Kevin Costner's boondogle at sea gets another airing; for Island folks, the main interest is that the film was shot in the waters off Kawaihae.

"Lance Burton's Young Magician's Showcase," 4 p.m., Fox Family Channel: Las Vegas favorite Burton introduces 15 magicians, ages 7 to 17. A worthy project - not, however, particularly entertaining.

"The District," 9 p.m., CBS: As the police chief of Washington, D.C., Mannion cracks down on crooked cops. There's a backlash, however, leaving the possibility that he'll have no one to protect Fidel Castro during his visit.
