The lines were open for two hours from 8:30 to 10:30 p.m. In a call-in Oct. 9, asking for whom they would vote, Sentinel readers were split this way: Clinton, 43 percent; Bush, 38 percent; and Perot, 19 percent. Sound Off isn't scientific, but it does gauge the intensity of interest in the debate.

Clinton received 37 percent of the 6,180 votes. Ross Perot, with 32 percent, came in second, and George Bush, with 31 Bush, trailing badly in every national poll, was hoping to set himself apart from Clinton in this debate, the first of three over nine days. He did that on some issues, especially on his opposition to taxes, but it was also clear that Clinton and even Perot more than held their own.

As head of the interdenominational group VOCAL (Victims of Clergy Abuse Linkup), Miller raves about Chicago's new policies. Experts consider the policies some of the most comprehensive in the nation. They include the creation of an 800-number for reporting allegations within the archdiocese, an independent review board and unified personnel records that will follow priests through their careers. "In fact, if you match them against VOCAL's goals in our mission statement, they state everything that we wish to see," she said. "It's an excellent policy.

Of course, it's a shame that we had to bring the church kicking and screaming into accountability, but Please see ABUSE, A-10 Now, says Jill Tarter, project scientist for the expedition, "We are going to do billions of times more searching than has been done before." Today, the 500th anniversary of Columbus' discovery of the New World, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration will finally begin its "Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence." The $100 million project is scheduled to be funded until at least the year 2001; and unlike past attempts by a few bold souls with severely limited options, this will be a major scientific endeavor that will surpass the efforts of the past three decades during its first minute of operation.

Now that same priest, who was moved to another parish after the family settled a lawsuit with him, awaits trial on charges that he abused a teen-age girl. A new set of sexual-misconduct policies issued by the Archdiocese of Chicago is designed to prevent such abuses, but they came too late for Miller and her family. In response to growing reports of sexual abuse by priests.

Catholic dioceses from Chicago to Orlando are coming up with policies to address the problem.

This week, a handful of scientists in California and Puerto Rico will flip a few electronic switches and turn on a powerful computer. And then they will listen, for decades perhaps, for some sign, some distant signal from some unknown culture that will tell us that we are not the only creatures who have stared in awe at the night sky and wondered if anyone else was out there. For centuries humankind has dreamed of answering that question, and for more than three decades scientists have tried, although not with the resources that the challenge ASSOCIAIED PHfcSS Jungle find Scientists say the Amazon region has yielded 'a completely new species' of monkey, which they christened the Maues marmoset.

The heads, refurbished by a Rhode Island foundry, have been returned to the place on the monument where they were when it was erected in 1934. During today's quincentennial Columbus Day ceremony, the monument will again be admired. "It is absolutely beautiful," Richard Damiano said of the restoration project. "It's been restored to its original status of 19114." Damiano is the president of the Columbus Monument Memorial Association, which formed in 1925 to build the monument.

"The Italian-Americans wanted to erect some kind of monument to the legacy that Columbus left in America," Damiano said. The children of those immigrants paid for about a third of the cost of the restoration. He expects 1,000 people to attend the ceremony-Rut not everyone is thrilled about the refurbish- OO- VJ1. Indian heads stolen decades ago are back on a Syracuse, N.Y., monument after a detour through Orlando. By Adelle M.

Banks OF THE SENTINEL STAFF Three years after stolen antique Indian heads turned up in an Orlando warehouse, they will be unveiled today back in their rightful place on a refurbished Columbus monument in downtown Syracuse, N.Y. The four bronze heads disappeared long ago from upstate New York and later appeared at an Atlanta auction in 1086, where they were bought by Rob Snow, former owner of Church Street Station in Orlando. It wasn't until later that Snow learned he had hot heads. Thanks to the work of the FHI in Orlando and Syracuse, the heads wen1 returned to the cily of Syracuse.
