Porter was convicted last year in Minnesota of molesting his children's baby sitter.

He received a six-month jail term. Porter's attorney, Peter De-Gelleke, said Porter would petition to serve his sentence in a Minnesota jail, rather than the Massachusetts state prison. "Certainly it is a long, harsh sentence," DeGelleke said. Victims and DeGelleke alike criticized the Fall River Diocese for all but ignoring complaints that Porter was molesting children, "You have got a church that by 1963 had 30 to 40 reports of what this man has done, and they kept him in place, coming into contact with countless altar boys," DeGelleke said. Bishop Sean O'Malley, who now heads the diocese, said the church had learned a lesson from' the case and "seeks in every way to avoid such tragic events in the future." Cardinal Joseph Bernardin of Chicago of molesting a seminary student more than a decade ago.

Bernardin denies the charges. A Roman Catholic center in New Mexico that treated pedophile priests apologized to 25 alleged victims of Porter and announced in November it had settled their lawsuits for more than $8 million. But the Servants of the Paraclete treatment center said it wasn't admitting responsibility for actions by Porter, who twice underwent treatment at the center in Jemez Springs, N.M. Porter was sentenced to concurrent prison terms of 18 to 20 years for four counts of sodomy, and concurrent 3- to 5-year sentences for 27 counts of indecent assault and battery against children under 14 and seven counts of indecent acts against children under 16. Porter, who will be eligible for parole in six years, showed no reaction as he was led out of the court in handcuffs.

Porter's sentence also stipulates that, upon his release, he serve 10 years' probation, during Continued from Page One and four children in Minnesota. "I want you to know, James Porter, that you may have forgotten me and my face and my name, but I will never forget what you did to me," John Vigo-rito told the court. Daniel Lyons told how Porter raped him, and "when I would scream, he would put his hand over my mouth so no one could hear. Today, I am heard." Victims told of nightmares, depression, drug and alcohol addictions and at least four attempted suicides. "As I look at the faces of my fellow survivors, I see the pain we suffered.

There is no punishment imaginable that can erase our pain," said John Warburton. The case against Porter, 58, had drawn national attention, and Superior Court Judge Robert Steadman said the former priest had become "an effigy representing all the other named and unnamed child abusers." it The Associated Press Ex-priest James Porter Other recent cases involving the church have included a report by the Franciscan order that 12 friars participated in sex acts or questionable activity with 34 boys at a boarding school in Santa Barbara, between 1964 and 1987, and a lawsuit accusing is 1 'Wfti'iiiiiiTllf Ik (v.c,N Vm Wot? fcJ jv i Vtf I 1 First woman named chief in Ivy League 1993 The New York Times Dr. Judith Rodin, the provost of Yale University, has been chosen president of the University of Pennsylvania, becoming the first woman to head an Ivy League institution. Rodin, 49, a behavioral psychologist who is a Philadelphia native and a Penn alumna, graduated from Penn in 1966 and later earned a doctorate in psychology from Columbia University in 1970. She will assume her new post next June and face a number of problems, including a relatively low endowment, the need for ac- ademic consolidation and issues of racial strife and free speech.

As provost of Yale, Rodin was a candidate for the Yale presidency after the resignation of Benno C. Schmidt Jr. She led the university during the difficult year after Schmidt resigned, instituting a system to reduce the budget deficit and calming the faculty members and students, who were concerned about cutbacks and layoffs. Speaking by telephone from Philadelphia, Rodin said "the Ivy League's having a woman at the highest level is symbolic." "I understand I'll be watched," she said. While Yale and Penn both have had women as acting presidents, the appointment of Rodin is the first in the Ivy League, which comprises Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Penn, Princeton and Yale.

Among the women at the highest level in major academic institutions are W. Ann Reynolds, chancellor of the City University of New York; Nannerl H. Keohane, who was installed as president of Duke University this fall; and Katherine Lyall, the president of the University of Wisconsin. HELLER, Samuel, 75, of Tucson, died December 5, 1993. Mr.

Arrangements by rEATHER MORTUARY. Tucson. AZ. Continued from Page IA American Way, a national watchdog group. The annual report detailed 143 censorship cases nationwide.

The drama teacher at Flowing Wells, Carol Marlow, said she planned to delete the profanities from the play before it was presented, a common practice in high school productions. But three weeks into the rehearsal period, students were still using the unedited script. Marlow lost her job after conflicts with the administration about her handling of "The Shadow Box." The script for last night's reading was edited to reflect the way it is most often presented in high schools. "What you heard tonight is the play that would have been performed at Flowing Wells High School," said Stanley G. Feldman, chief justice of the Arizona Supreme Court, who moderated the post-show discussion.

Reeve represented the actors on a nine-member panel that debated First Amendment issues. The panel also included Arthur J. Kropp, president of People For the American Way; UA law professor Charles Ares; a representative from Concerned Women For America; local educators; clergy; and a student. The student, Cassie Smith, is a junior at Tucson High School. "I read the original script and I thought I was reading the edited version," she said.

"I don't think high school students would be offended by anything in the play." That's not the issue, countered panelist Cathi Herrod, of Concerned Women For America. "This ministrators want peace and quiet and they are; therefore inclined to give in to people like Pastor' Blair and Ms. Herrod, who are very vocal and very sincere." i-People For the American Way sponsored last night's event, in cooperation with the UA Faculty of Fine Arts and the Creative Coalition, a non-profit group of artists that is dedicated to educating its' members and the public about social and political issues. "Tucson Talks" was funded by a from the Rockefeller Foundation. Flowing Wells principal Nic Clement said play was canceled because of the harsh language.

He added that its homosexual themes had nothing to do with his decision. Kropp said yesterday that he doesn't believe)' the principal. Kropp's opinion is based on discus-' sions with the drama teacher and others involved int the controversy, he said. Clement's decision to cancel the play and replace it with the innocuous "Up the Down Stair case" inspired an angry demonstration during which 300 students walked out of classes at the campus, 3725 N. Flowing Wells Road.

At yesterday's press conference, the sponsors and the celebrity cast said they hoped to provoke local debate about the issues of censorship and freedom of expression. "It's important to remember that we are not part-time Hollywood heroes riding to the rescue," said Reeve. Mercedes Ruehl, an Oscar-winner for her performance in "The Fisher King," said the play's harrowing subject is hardly unknown to high school students. Teen-agers are too often confronted with death, she said. "Perhaps the teacher chose the play for its educational and therapeutic value," she said.

In 1991, Marlow's fellow teachers nominated her for the state's annual Teacher of the Year award. The district administration agreed and made her one of the district's two nominees that year. Marlow was forced to resign after an edited scene from "The Shadow Box" was performed for I a student audience that included a fifth-grade class. Some teachers were upset that the scene included sexual innuendo and the word "humping." Television viewers who watched the reading on public access Channel 64 had to settle for music in- stead of the actors' voices during the first 10 min- utes. A spokeswoman for Tucson Cablevision repair service said the audio was interrupted by a wide range of music coming from the channel.

"They -had a little bit of everything Cajun, classical, reg- gae," she said. The repair service tried to check out the prob- lem after getting a half-dozen complaints, she said 1 No one could be reached at Tucson Community Ca-ble offices. Man killed by policeman after wounding his wife CENTRALIA, 111. (AP) A man who shot and wounded his estranged wife in the parking lot of the city's municipal building was then shot and killed by an officer inside the police station yester- day, authorities said. Capt.

Dennis Lovell, of the Illinois State Police, said the woman, Nesrin Glispie, of Central City, was due to appear in court yesterday for a final order of protection against her husband, Jerry Glispie, 36, of Centralia. Lovell said that before Mrs. Glispie could enter the building, her husband confronted her in the parking lot and shot her sev- eral times. Waving a handgun, Glispie then entered the police station and was shot by a police officer when he ignored orders to put his weapon down, Lovell said. Mrs.

Glispie, 26, was rushed to St. Mary's Hospital in Centralia with multiple gunshot wounds i and later was transferred to a hospital in St. Louis. Her estranged husband was pronounced dead at the scene. play is not appropriate for high school students, either edited or unedited.

The subject matter is not appropriate," she said. Herrod's opinion was supported by panelist A.B. Blair, of Golf Links Baptist Church. He said he thought the actors were reading an unedited script. "I wouldn't want any of my young people to be involved in putting on this play and saying those words," Blair said.

"I wouldn't want my kids to see it, either." Blair said today's teen-agers frequently curse in their everyday lives. "They pick up these words from the arts," he said, inspiring a loud, derisive response from the audience. Rabbi Joseph Weizenbaum, of Temple Emanu-El, had a very different response to the play. "I thought I heard a sermon tonight, a sermon affirming life," he said. "I wish my kids would have seen it." Said Ares: "How do you create a decisionmaking process that protects the fundamental right of freedom of expression? The problem is that ad Shuttle Hoffman, who is an astronomer, lifted the top off the container in which the new camera was carried into space and exclaimed: "Ah, look at that baby! It's a beautiful, striking new wifpic." us grave and Hoffman were outside for nearly eight hours on the first excursion that began late Saturday, fixing the Hubble's guidance system.

Two other astronauts were out Sunday to renew the telescope's power source. "We've been up to bat twice, and the crew has hit two home runs," said Joe Roth-enberg, associate director of flight projects for Hubble. "The first objective has been met: We can handle on-orbit servicing and we can handle contingencies." Yesterday, the space shuttle Endeavour and its crew of seven were in the sixth day of the 11 -day flight, setting spacewalk records each time they venture out of the crew The bus-sized Hubble, 43 feet long, sits up-i right on a Lazy Susan near the rear of the-cargo bay. One of the unanticipated events also became the flight's most dramatic moment. A solar panel bring removed for replacement in yesterday spacewalk refased to roll up for the return home.

Nicknamed "wifpic" for wide-field planetary camera, the new instrument includes mirrors to compensate for the flaws created by the telescope's misshapen main mirror. With it, NASA hopes to regain most of the Hubble 's lost promise of getting crisp images of the faintest and oldest heavenly bodies. It also will enable, scientists to track the orbits of comets aroull the sun and search for planets around other stars..
