THIS DAY In Daily History 'U' to install cable in residence halls Jan. 12, 1993 - The University may broadcast lectures over its new cable system in the residence halls after it implements the cable system it is installing in the residence halls. The University has set a goal of having 80 channels available by fall, but it is unlikely that it will meet it. No formal agreement has been reached between the University and Columbia Cable, the company that will install the cable, but Ron Harmon, vice president of the company, predicts that they will reach an agreement in about a month. Harmon said his company is ready to take on the challenge of installing the cable in the residence halls. "It's a bigger job, but it's just like any- one else," he said. Alan Levy, program director for Uni- versity Housing, said the billing and rates for cable have not been set yet. "(The cost of cable) will not be woven in with room and board rates like refrig- erator rentals. It will be an option," Levy said. Most students said they support hav- Bishop supports bill to allow suits against church 75-year-old Detroit bishop says he was inappropriately touched by a priest six decades ago COLUMBUS,Ohio(AP) - A Detroit bishop revealed he was touched inappro- priately by a priest 60 years ago, saying he waited to discuss the abuse until it would do the most good. Auxiliary Bishop Thomas Gum- bleton is believed to be the first U.S. Roman Catholic bishop to disclose that he was a victim of sexual abuse by clergy. Gumbleton, 75, spoke yesterday in support of an Ohio bill that would remove time limits that have prevented past victims from suing the church over their alleged abuse. He said some per- petrators have not yet been exposed, and the only way to ensure they will is through the courts. Ohio bishops agree with extending the time limits for future abuse cases but have vigorously lobbied against a provision allowing a one-year window for victims to sue over abuse that hap- pened up to 35 years ago. "I regret that we need this type of legislation, but I insist we do need it," Gumbleton said before meeting with House lawmakers who are undecided on the bill. Gumbleton said he was a 15-year- old seminary student in Detroit when a priest took him and other boys to a cabin northeast of the city. The priest started wrestling with him playfully, then put his hand down Gumbleton's pants. He said he quickly removed himself from the situation. "I was able to escape a terrible trau- ma," he said. Even now, he's embarrassed talking about it - which makes him under- stand why some victims never brought lawsuits within legal time limits after reaching age 18, which are two to five years in most states. Gumbleton said he'd thought about bringing up the incident at meet- ings of bishops, but the timing wasn't right. The slowing down of Ohio's bill, which unanimously passed the Senate, prompted him to come forward. "It seemed to be a very timely moment to do it, because I could make a difference for the victims," he said. in wants brother's body recovered from dump Search team has not been able to locate dead body accidentally deposited in Holland landfill HOLLAND, Mich. (AP) - Erwin Jordan's final resting place will be the Autumn Hills Landfill in southwestern Michigan, at least as far as his chil- dren are concerned. But his brother wants the search for his body to continue, after it was mistakenly taken from a Hol- land funeral home by the trash man. "The kids can say all they want. I'm just as close to my brother as they are to him," Stuart Jordan of Otsego told The Grand Rapids Press. "I don't care who is to blame, but that body should be found." "I don't want my brother just left in the dump." Police said Tuesday that they would discontinue searching the Zeeland Township landfill at the request of Jordan's children. They looked for the Holland man's body all day Friday and Saturday, gate how the body made it into the trash truck. but the children said in a statement that they did Another state agency, the Department of Envi- not want the search- ronmental Quality, said the ers' safety or health landfill must now continue the jeopardized for what "I ust don't want my search. authorities said was "Bodies cannot go to a only a small chance of brother left in the dump." landfill under any circum- success. stances.

Police said the trash man noticed the container holding Jordan's body a week earlier but left it. On Jan. 5, he called a dispatcher and was told to load it. Terry Nienhuis, Priority Arrowaste gener- al manager, said the proximity of the box to trash containers led to confusion. He offered sympathy to Jordan's family, but said a com- pany investigation concluded that it did not vary from its normal course of business at the funeral home. The funeral home saw that the body was missing on Friday morning and notified police, who isolated a 300-by-400-foot area of the huge landfill to search. But about 70 trucks had dumped loads in the same place since 6 a.m. Officers, landfill workers and a state police cadaver dog searched the trash without success. --------------- - - - -------- m m U a - - - .-.~AR*~!W
