That evening the Pope met at Xavier University with leaders from the 215- member Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities. The association is lobbying to prevent a pending Vatican decree that would require doctrinal orthodoxy of theologians who teach at Catholic campuses.

Public schools today teach hula as part of the cultural history of the islands. Teams taught by hula masters compete in hula dance-offs that are approximately as well attended as high school basketball tournaments in Indiana. Such top-ranked groups as the four who traveled to Durham have little chance to grow rusty...
