Nuns Face Fewer Orders as Parish School Sees Change
Sisters of Notre Dame acknowledge declining numbers as St. John School shifts to a lay staff. Principal Janet Jensen notes loss of teaching sisters diminishes tradition while enrollment climbs from 470 to 500 as families seek faith-based education for their children. Sister Mary Jane reflects on fewer entrants, comparing past classes of 35 to current five or six new entrants, and wonders what the future holds for the church.

Court weighs race based aid in highway contracts

The dispute centers on whether racial preference policies violate equal protection, with past rulings under review and a 5-4 split influence changing since 1990.
