Goa University lacks teachers (first we heard that students were short!) ... politics, obits, sports ... and a fascinating new teach-yourself-Konkani series from the pen of Edward de Lima (who retired recently from Bandekar's College and also trained a generation of youngsters in the National Cadet Corps). Herald focuses on why Sporting Clube de Goa -- after its meteoric rise -- failed to win the National Football League. It says pressures, complacency, a weak mid-field, lack of strategy and a poor finish could have been responsible. Dempo won the NFL, the first time that a Goan team became champs. Six out of the 12 national league teams were from Goa, quite an achievement! o Goa University struggles to stay afloat, writes Nerita Baptista citing the lack of teachers. (H) o Mickky Pacheco was sacked for indiscipline, says Parrikar. Citing an example, Parrikar said that Mickky once came before the Delimitation Commission panel in a T-shirt. "He ought to know that as a minister he should maintain some decorum," said Parrikar. (H) o Computer teachers resume chain hunger strike. (H) o Margao bazarkars to back Congress. (H) o Congress ridicules Advani's stance on Parrikar's good governance.(H) o BJP says bogus voters trying to get ID cards in Margao. (H) o Nationalist Congress blames BJP for creating computer teachers woes.(H) o Shiv Sena stages protest march in Margao for completing drainage.(H) o Canacona candidates face tough questions over poor infrastructure. (H) o Khareedi Yatraa, a sale, opens at Margao. (H) o Examine complaints of violations of poll code, Election Commission tells poll officials. (NT) o Party-hoppers dominate the scene in Benaulim.
