ZERO TOLERANCE Bishops to oversee implementation of zero tolerance is asking the religious orders to reconsider that decision. Debate Rages Over Bishops; Policy on Abuse Reluctant to enter the debate since he was in Rome when bishops approved the policy, Auxiliary Bishop Salvatore Cordileone says he agrees The "zero-tolerance" policy call in g for permanent removal from the ministry with the need to publicly address the "crisis of trust" and act swiftly to pro­ of any priest found to have sexually abused a minor is at the heart of the U.S. tect children from abuse .

Gregory, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, to help implement and monitor the U.S . continued on page 33 church's zero-tolerance policy on sexual abuse. Although the board has only an advisory role , it is the first time in the church's history that lay persons have been given the authority to examine the church 's hierarchy and internal practices at this level. The stakes are high - millions of American Catholics are looking to the board to help resolve the problems in the church. Hayes predicts the panel - which includes such high-profile members as Oklahoma Gov. Frank Keating , former White House Chief of Staff Leon Panetta and Robert Bennett, President Clinton's impeachment trial lawyer - will do what is necessary to carry out its task. "We know we have no canonical or investigative status," Hayes says. "Our only ability is to determine if the dioceses are in compliance , and call that to the attention of the pub­ lic and the bishops." The panel will review diocesan policies on abuse cases , commission research and examine information compiled over the past decade by individual diocesan review boards on sexual abuse. Hayes says the board also will select a director for the newly established Office of Child and Youth Protection , which will prepare an annual report on compliance with the charter and help dioceses implement the zero-tolerance policy. The policy requires removal from the ministry of any priest who sexually abuses a minor. "We are looking for someone with some of the obvious skills - management, super­ visory and policy experience - but we also want someone with experience handling sex­ ual abuse cases of children , both at the child -care level and investigatory, legal level ," says Hayes , who spoke shortly before heading to Oklahoma in September for the board 's second meeting . "We are getting really good people interested in the position , and I am pleased they would consider leaving the jobs they have now." Hayes' role on the high-profile board came as a surprise. Gregory phoned her short­ ly after she made public her plan to retire from USO at the end of the Spring 2003 semes­ ter, a fact she thought might make her ineligible for service . "When Bishop Gregory called , I told him I'd love to help , but I'll be retiring at the end of the year," she recalls . "He said good , you'll be able to give us more time. I had been critical of the whole situation , so I couldn 't turn him down when he asked me to do something about it. " As one of three academicians on the board , Hayes will play a research role during her term , which is open-ended , analyzing information and statistics and making recommen­ dations . She says her task will be made easier by USO faculty, who offered her volumes of research , resources and insight on the topic, most notably Bob Fellmeth, director of the School of Law's Children 's Advocacy Institute. "What a great response I've had from the faculty - we have a resource base here that will be available to the national revie w board ," Hayes says. "Whatever perspective I can bring to this issue ," she adds, "as a woman, as an aca­ demic, as an independent person , I will try to do my best. This is one role I did not antic­ ipate I would have, and I ask everyone to pray for me, the board and the church. "

FALL 2002 33 IN THEIR OWN WORDS

The New Kid on Campus Remember what it was Like to be a freshman - the new roommate, the maddening class schedules, the homesickness? Ifyour memory is a Little hazy, we've asked freshman Angelica Gonzalez, 18, from Orange County's Saddfeback High Schoof, to share her experiences during her first week at USD. Angelica wiff detail other aspects ofher freshman year - from activities to academics - in upcoming issues of USD Magazine.

Butterflies fluttered in my stomach at the thought of moving into a dorm room with a complete stranger. But somehow they disappeared when I met the so urce of that odd sound - an excited group of students with aqua colored T-shirts. Even with their ye lling of "O" every few minutes, the Orientation Team was extremely helpful as I lugged my things to my room. After I walked up and down the Camino Hall stairway for what seemed like the hundredth time, all my stuff finally was in my room . As I scouted around, I realized there was only one closet. "Oh no," I thought, "there is no way all my clothes and shoes are going to fit in j use half of that closet." My roommate had already moved in, and all her scuff was on her bed. My scuff, on the ocher hand, was on my bed, desk, refrigerator and all over the floor.
