In the Archdiocese office of New York, chancery officials declined all comment on the marriage. The sole spokesman, Monsignor Thomas J.

Nearly JMWjepresentatives of dioce- san school offices, Including some lay persons, attended the four-day session in. the Sheraton Hotel. They heard talks by Bishop Ful- ton J. Sheen and by more than 20 re- ligious and lay speakers. The conven- tion ended Wednesday. Among highlights were Industry- education presentations on Tuesday — by representatives of Eastman Kodak Company in the morning and Xerox Corporation in the afternoon. They dealt with major developments in the technology of teaching. General theme of the meetings was a close examination of the current status of Catholic education — par- ticularly the elementary school sys- tem — and an attempt to project its future. Father Daniel Brent, associate superintendent of schools for the Rochester Diocese, was one of five signers of a paper titled \Goals of Catholic Schools.\ The signers did not agree that a single formula of goals was possible. Listing four goals, they noted that these \are the major variables with which an individual school system must work in order to do its own planning ... a set of skeletal sug- gestions for decision-making ... a flexiblo recipe whose ingredients can bo mixed at the local level.\ They Included: 1) quality education; 2), MIICIAU*. formation; S) community service; 4) Institutional renewal. In a precede to comment on each goal, the committee's \working paper\ contained this declaration: \The superintendents' major tools Bishop Urges statement by any U.S. Catholic offi- cial expressing acceptance of Mrs. Onassis' decision, directly or Indirect- ly, in any way.

Retired Bishop James E. Kearney will mark two anniversaries on Mon- day, Oct 28 — his- B4th birthday and the 36th anniversary of his conse- cration as a Bishop. Although it is nearly two years since he retired as fifth Bishop of Rochester, Bishop Kearney still main- tains a schedule which would tiro men half his age. During his 29 years as spiritual leader of the Diocese he ordained hundreds of priests, confirmed thou- sands of the laity and erected scores of new churches and schools. But even more Importantly he established a glowing heritage of faith and unity, a monument greater than brick and stone. Much has been written in these columns about his life and accom- plishments — much less about tliat day, 36 years ago, when he received the fullness of the priesthood. According to the New York Times for that momentous Friday, nearly 1,000 clerics marched in a procession from Madison Avenue through 50th Street to Saint Patrick's Cathedral, the place of tSio then Father Kear- ney's elevation to Bishop of Salt Lake City. In the procession, which Included 20 bishops, were the Most Rev. Wil- liam Turner, BlBhop of Buffalo, and the Most Rev. John Francis OTIoin, Bishop of Rochester. At 0.30 a.m. Patrick Cardinal Hayes, then Archbishop of New York, be- gan the consecration ceremony be- fore a throng so large that 70O addi- tional chairs had to be placed in the cathedral. Cardinal Hayes was joined by Bishop John J. Dunn. Auxiliary Bishop and vicar general of Now York, and Bishop John J. Mitty, co- adjutor Archbishop of San Francisco, who served as co-eonsecratore. Arch- bishop Mitty was Bishop Kearney's predecessor in the See of Salt Lake City. Bishop Kearney's consecration date was a day of special remembrance. It marked the anniversaries of con- secration of both Cardinal Hayes and Bishop Dunn, as well as being both Bishop Kearney's birthday and the (Continued on Page 7) An AU-Americairiirthe Making By LEO PINCKNEY Sports Editor, Auburn Citizen-Advertiser Special for thte Courlcr^Journal The city of Aoibum has produced two All-American football players in the past 30 years and if Doug Kleiber, captain and linebacker with the Cor- nell Big Red eJeven continues his tremendous 'performances, he could - be No. 3.
