Chris Harn, 29, of Newark, Del., told a federal judge he used his job at Autotote, which handles most of the nation's racetrack and off-track betting, to manipulate bets during races. In pleading guilty to fraud and money laundering conspiracies, Harn said he used one co-defen dant's Off Track Betting account to place a Pick Six bet on the Oct. 26 Breeders' Cup "and later modified it so it would win." The wager - six bets costing a total of $1,152- immediately drew the scrutiny of authorities because of its unusual nature. The $3 million was not paid, and an investigation was launched. On a Pick Six wager, bettors try to select the winners in six consecutive races, but they usu ally choose different combina tions to increase their chances of winning. The suspicious bet picked the same combination six times, selecting the winners in the first four races and every horse in the last two. PAT HADEN NBC COLOR COMMENTATOR ..

Richard Warner, c.s.c. Retreat Date: December 6-7 Director of Campus Ministry Sign-up: November 11-December 2 114 Coleman-Morse Center Holy Cross Father Ted Hesburgh, who served as president of Notre Dame from 1952 until 1987, often referred to Notre Dame as "the place where the Church does its thinking." If that was true fifteen years ago, and it was, it is all the more so today. Three recent events underscore this unique and important service of the University to the bishops of the Catholic Church during a time of great difficulty and challenge. Last March, Father Malloy appointed a fifteen person committee comprised of members of the administra tion and faculty, to help the bishops prepare for their meeting in Dallas, when they would attempt to address the scandal caused by the infidelity of350 priests who were charged with sexually abusing minors ten or fifteen 807 Mass to fifty years ago, and some bishops and religious superiors who reassigned these men to other parishes, often 8:00p.m. without advising the new pastors or faithful of their past offences. This meant that some of these priests were Hammes Student Lounge able to continue to take advantage of children entrusted to their care. Coleman-Morse Center The bishops did meet in 1993 and developed a policy regarding this issue in a document entitled "Restor ing Trust". Since that date, very few accusations of sexual misconduct by priests has been dramatically re duced. But the actions and practices that took place prior to 1993, exploded in the media about one year ago, and has been a topic covered continuously since then. The Committee Father Malloy appointed, referred to as the "Church Study Committee", began meeting in March to prepare a report which would be distributed to the bishops prior to their June 2002 meeting in RCIA Session Dallas, as Father Malloy had requested. Countless hours of work were dedicated to this task by the Commit-. 10:00-11 :30 a.m. tee. Experts in the areas of journalism, law and Coleman-Morse Lounge psychology were brought to campus to share their The bishops present were somewhat expertise with the Committee in a session which Tour of the Basilica for spellbound as they listened to one expert lasted over twelve hours.

Their areas of expertise included history, law, Canon Law, psychology, theology and philosophy, 10:30 p.m. St. Edward's Hall among others.

As one presenter after another took to the podium, the bishops present continually - commented on the richness of the experience. They lamented the fact that too many of their fellow bishops were not present and should have been. They experienced liturgies which moved them, and hospitality which overwhelmed them. esdav For them, it was obvious that Notre Dame was still "the place where the Church does its thinking." Last Wednesday, Father Malloy, Professor John Cavadini and I, along with others, hosted a reception Notre Dame Graduate Student Christian Fellowship offered for the bishops as they finished their three days of meetings in Washington which basically confirmed the decisions 8:00p.m. they made in Dallas, adding safeguards to provide due process for accused priests. Over 125 bishops attended the recep Wilson Commons tion. Many commented on how important the role Notre Dame plays in the life of the Church in the U.S. is for them and for so many others. Some expressed their admiration for the rich gift to Catholic life that Notre Dame represents. Others suggested additional ways Notre Dame might serve the Church during the current crisis and in many other future ways as well. All expressed their gratitude for what was and will continue to be offered them and others by the University. It is important for all of us to catch at least this brief glimpse of how essential it is for the Catholic Church in particular, including its bishops, to have such a rich resource at their disposal. Notre Dame is truly the place where the Church does it thinking. That was true during the 35 years of Father Hesburgh's administration; it is true today in spades under Father Malloy's guidance. • Basilica of the Sacred Hean • Around Campus Saturday, November 23 Sunday, November 24 30 minutes after the game Spanish Mass Rev.
