Codv funeral draws clergy, state officials
By United Press International
CHICAGO-Cardinal John Patrick Cody, shepherd of the largest Roman Catholic archicloece in the nation, was laid to rest with pomp befitting his stature and little mention of the scandals that dogged his last steps.
Under a cold, gray sky the church's mighty and the state's powerful came together yesterday to bid farewell to a friend. It was a leader and leaned on as a friend.
Nine cardinals, 49 bishops, columns of priests and other clergy and the city's top officials took reserved seats to celebrate a 9-mile rite of Christian burial. Outside Holy Name Cathedral a crowd of 802 waited in the chilly air, listening quietly to the noon service via loudspeakers.
The cardinal, seriously ill and beset by controversy, died of heart failure Sunday at the age of 74.
In his last year he had the object of a federal investigation into allegations that he diverted up to $1 million in tax-exempt church funds to the benefit of Helen Dolan Wilson of St. Louis, a lifelong friend.
Mt. Carmel Cemetery in suburban Hillside.
MRS. WILSON was in a front row at the funeral mass and burial following at
The funeral homily, delivered by an old friend, the Rev. John J. Fahay, made no direct reference to Cody's but But Pahey said, "He did suffer."
"Greatness comes from the acceptance of suffering," the priest said. "God's annotated should suffer and die."
Then, turning to the closed casket draped in cardinalate red covered by white, he said, "Old friend, we say farewell. Because you suffered, it will be easier for us to suffer. Watch over us. Wait for us."
Chief celebrant of the solemn pontifical Mass was Archibishop Pio Laghi, Pope John Paul II's apostolic delegate to the United States. It was a ceremony of liturgy, hymn and song, the strong voices of the assembled priests reverberating through the old cathedral.
Cardinal William Baum, prefect of the sacred congregation for Catholic Education at the Vatican, brought the
Pope's apostolic blessing to the mourners and to the city of Chicago. President Reagan sent his condolences in a letter read during the service.
AS THE BELLS OF HOLY NAME tolled over the near North Side and members of the Knights of Columbus stood in capped attention outside the cathedral. The abbots emerged from the cathedral. Then came the cardinal's casket.
Cody, the fourth cardinal and sixth archbishop of the Chicago archdiocese, administered the nation's largest archdiocese with 2.4 million members for 17 years.
Chicago police in dress uniform, some mounted on horseback, flanked the funeral-gear. Fifty blue-uniformed and white-gloved members of the main team stand guard inside stairs, above two columns on either side of the main door to the cathedral.
Prior to the funeral Mass, a group of six lay palay筐ers closed the bronze casket in which Cody's vestment-clad body had lain on public view since
Monday night. His red hat was to be hung from the cathedral ceiling beside those of Chicago's three previous cardinals.
EIGHT NORTH American cardinals—John Krol, Philadelphia; Humberto Medieros, Boston; John Dearden, Detroit; Lawrence Shehan, Balkmore; Timothy Manning, Los Angeles; John Carberry, Canada; John Carberry, St Louis; and Terrence Cooke, New York—headed the clergy.
Cody was interred in a crypt just below the tomb of Archibishop Patrick A. Feehan, Chicago's first archbishop. Also entombed nearby are William Quarter, first Bishop of Chicago; James E. Quigley, second archbishop; Cardinal Samuel Stritch and Auxiliary Archbishop William O'Brien.
The mausoleum, of Romanesque architecture, is located on a rise in the center of the cemetery. Built of limestone from Bedford ind., and made with a bronze support supporting a bronze statue of the Angel of the Resurrection.
Ferguson tells board union fiscallv sound
The Kansas Union should end its fiscal year in good financial shape, Warner Ferguson, associate director of the Union, told the Kansas Memorial Union Corporation Board of directors last night.
He said that although total operations were down $22,900 from last year, net income was still good.
He said the Union earned nearly $10 million in actual income.
"Our actual income has tripped in almost four years, which is amazing," Ferguson said.
"I'm also very happy with our employees, because without them we couldn't operate."
The bookstore was profitable, Ferguson said, as was the concessions department.
"We have made excellent recovery in our working capital funds," he said. "Our volume will increase in the past, but it will be constant."
Ferguson said he also was pleased with the employee retirement plan for next year.
"We're making a concentrated effort to upgrade the retirement plan," he said.
And Ferguson had good news for students: the Union's 1982-83 budget does not call for a student fee increase.
"There hasn't been one since 1980, and we've been pleased with that," he said.
David Ambler, vice chairperson for student affairs, said the increase in student enrollment over the years has been due to buildings and lessen student fees.
