The University Grants Commission (UGC) has
decided to notify new guidelines to make it binding on
all higher educational institutions to prevent ragging
or face harsh action, including de-recognition.
Educational Institutions nationwide are expected to
welcome this move in the wake of widespread criminal
activities in the guise of ragging. Gone are the days

YAOUNDÃ, Cameroon: MARCH 18, 2009. Pope Benedict
XVI is encouraging bishops to work together to proclaim

King Church in Yaounda.He urged
his listeners to evangelize in their diocesan
communities, "for there are countless people still
waiting to hear the message of hope and love that will
enable them to obtain the glorious liberty of the
children of God. The proclamation of the Gospel is the
particular task of the Bishop," he noted, and in order
to "strengthen and purify their faith, the faithful need
to hear the words of their bishop, the catechist par
excellence.”

COACHES MAY BE BARRED FROM PRAYING WITH PLAYERS
New York: To Coach Louis Thompson, praying
with his Lincoln County High School football team is as
important as leading them to winning seasons maybe more
important. "Every day when we finish practice, we take a
knee, bow our heads and say the Lord's Prayer every day.
We don't miss a day," Thompson said. "Along with the
Lord's Prayer at practice, we have a silent prayer
before each game where I tell them to pray for
themselves and their teammates.'' But a case making its
way to the U.S. Supreme Court could prevent Thompson and
other coaches of public schools from praying with their
teams, even if the players initiate the prayer on their
own.
