Daily Gazette, Saturday, May 13, 1967 Obituaries WILL BE "PASTORAL" BISHOP Bishop Cletus O'DonnclI (seated) yesterday paid the first of what he promises will be many visits to this city. He told Serrans he expect to be a pastoral bishop, well acquainted with the people of the Madison diocese whom he serves. With him here are, from left, Dr. Arthur Reinardy, past president of Serrans, Msgr. John McNamara, the Rev.

Gilbert Carlton and AlDiotte, the new president of the Serra Club. (Gazette Photo) New Bishop Doubts Catholic HS Here The Most Rev. Cletus O'Don nell, new bishop of the Catholic diocese of Madison, told Serra Club members yesterday that it is doubtful, in his mind, that the diocese will be able to build a high school in Janesville. in the foreseeable future. Much of the new bishop's talk, en his first visit to Janesville, dealt with the subject of education.

His frank and friendly manner captivated the Janesville men who were pleased to hear him say, "I'm not going to be chained to my desk in Madison. "I want be a pastoral bishop. I want to know and work with priests and especially with the people of this diocese. I'm not going to be just the bishop of the city of Madison but I want to get out and meet the people ef Monroe and Beloit and all the other fine cities of this diocese. Serrans and the priests in attendance seemed profoundly impressed with the new bishop's sincerity, forthrightness and willingness to discuss any of the problems facing the diocese.

Bishop O'Donnel made it clear that present problems of financing and staffing schools "make it almost prohibitive to build any new high schools. Stresses Work in Colleges "When a Diocese like Philadelphia sees its high school system tottering because of its financial load, it scares me. In the city of Chicago, for instance, from which I came only recently, in spite of a tremendous high school building program, we are only reaching 29 per cent of the boys and girls of Catholic faith. In the meantime we are not doing near enough for the unfortunate who cannot afford a Catholic education. "I'm a strong believer in trying to work with the tremendous numbers of college students who are being barely touched by the faith.

At the University of Wisconsin alone there are over 8,500 students of Catholic faith. These are among the future leaders of our nation and we should be working closely with them. We are also being called upon to do more work for South America with an already inadequate staff of priests." The bishop believes that regional seminaries should be built close to great universities rather than proliferating more major seminaries. "I feel our crying need for well-trained priests can only be handled in the long run in this manner," he said. "I think the provincialism of Catholic colleges is appalling.

We should share build two libraries on adjacent properties as was done recently by two Chicago colleges which should have combined their efforts and built one large, joint library. Praises Madison Seminary The bishop made a strong plea for openness in the church. "There was some bad publicity on the recent controversy at the great Catholic University in Washington. This seemed to be the only way to get the faculty the representation which it needs and deserves. It's too bad it had to be done in this manner but I feel that a lot of good will come from it," he said.

On the subject of the Madison Minor Seminary, the bishop gave very high praise for the physical facilities and academic excellence of the school. "I'm proud to announce that last year the senior class placed in the upper 15 per cent and the sophomore class in the upper 10 per cent In the National Achievement Test. The school expects to get North. Central Accreditation by next February. It has excellent teachers and pastoral priests on its faculty.

We should be proud to send our boys to this most excellent school." Bishop O'Donnel! completely disarmed all members of the club to whom he talked in a most informal manner before and after the meeting. It is apparent that he wishes to drop the long-standing custom of priests and laymen in kneeling to kiss the episcopal ring when meeting the bishop. Bricklayers Vote Tuesday Bricklayers of this area, out on strike since April 1, will vote Tuesday night on a new contract offer of contractors of the area. A meeting of Local 7 of the Bricklayers and Masons Union was held last night in the Labor Temple here for discussion of proposal, but John Gundry, Beloit, president of the three-county union, said that no decision was reached.

That was the way things stood yesterday afternoon after the dust settled from a morning pretrial hearing presided over by Circuit Judge Richard Orton, Lancaster. First off, Judge Orton ruled against the towns of Beloit, Rock and Turtle on their motion to intervene in the city of Beloit's direct annexation of 2,700 acres north of the city. A casualty of the ruling was a section of Wisconsin's annexation statute wtiich the judge declared invalid and unconstitutional. In doing so, he agreed with city legal experts who had argued that subsection 66.021 1 IB which delegates to Circuit Court the duty of determining if an annexation is in the public in- of Nursing, Chicago, and te st unconstitutional, practical nurse here for!

The governor's interest and strong support of education makes the state a leader in the education of children with special needs." The program concluded with two march numbers played by the school orchestra, "The Guadalcanal March" and "On Wisconsin." Also participating were Becky Hansen, who read "Flanders Fields," and an organ interlude of "Kamennoi Ostrow," by Sandra Cairns. The dedication ceremonies ended with tours of the building and a coffee hour in the new cafeteria hosted by the staff. al Home, the David Roberts, United Church of Christ, of- evious annexation law clearly vested such determination as a legislative, not a judicial, function. On the city attorney's contention that a pretrial discovery which began early this year by denying a city appeal that if the aforementioned statute is held unconstitutional then intervention by the towns is not relevant. "This latter contenton is without merit," he said.

the mere pleading of such issues would not in itself bar these towns from their statutory right of intervention." Regarding the city's attack on the subsection declared invalid, Judge Orton said, "It is settled law in this state that it is beyond the judicial power of any Wisconsin court to determine the legislative question of whether the incorporation of a municipal corporation is in the public interest." The same law would apply with equal force to annexations, he determined. Judge Orton did state that while "it is true, of course, that uor court has held that the discretionary legislative authority vested in a city to alter its boundaries and thereby annex territory is not an unlimited power but is subject to judicial review."

WCLO-FM p.m. Dally) the city's action, Judge Orton ruled. However, the application of this judicial test isn't the same as determining whether an annexation is in the public interest under the state law struck down in the decision, he continued. In striking down the state law giving the court review right of an annexation, Judge Orton said it "grants to the judiciary unlimited authority and discretion to consider any or all political, economic, religious, social and educational aspects of" annexation. "Such decisions, under our form of government, cannot and should not be made by courts," he said.

Judge Orton took notice of the "settled rule" which requires a trial judge to assume a statute is valid unless voided by an appellate court. So Unconstitutional He ruled, however, that the subsection applying to court review of annexations is so unconstitutional it "can be declared so beyond a reasonable doubt." Voiding of the subsection does not alter the remainder of the state's annexation sections, he said, because the law was passed before the subsection, which was tacked on by the state Legislature as an amendment. "This decision in no manner deprives the affected townships of an opportunity to contest the validity of this proposed annexation," Judge Orton continued. The grounds of protest may rest on numerous points, he said. cerned, Styohes are playing a teen dance at the Armory from 8 to 11 p.m.

All Capable Musicians In everyday life, the Styches are students at Janesville High School and Marshall Junior High and workingmen besides for they have those payments on their instruments to keep up. Tom Davis, for instance, works at McDonald's Drivc-in part- time in addition to playing bass guitar with the combo. Tom, the son of Mr. and Mrs.

Donald S. Davis, 1420 Greenwich Lane, has been playing guitar for about two years but before that lie took lessons on the drums and violin. All of the Styches have had a considerable amount of training on various musical instruments. Louie Schaber, bad guitar, has been taking guitar lessons for more than five years of his young life. He is the son of Mr.

and Mrs. Louis Schaber, 437 N. Pine St. Debt hangs heavy over the head of Mark Zastoupil, son of Mr. and Mrs.

Art Zastoupil, 56.1 N. Pearl St. He recently paid $500 for the Vox Combo Organ and is whittling the debt down through working in his father's Randall Avenue Grocery, after school and Saturdays. Mark, who stands up while playing the new organ, took piano lessons for eight years. The organ is a folding device which can be transported easily from job to job.

One case holds the legs, another the organ proper. Paper Boy Drums Drummer with the Styches is Jim Williams, son of Mr. and Mrs. James V. Williams, 2205 Mineral Point Ave.

Jim, who has won numerous contests playing Hawaiian and Spanish electric guitars, added the drums to vocalist though all of the es have mikes and back him up on many numbers. Gary is world traveler of the group, having lived in Germany when his father was in the service and. the Bruhn family, now of 2007 Center made their home, there. Gary is unemployed right now, except for work with the. Styches, but he did work at Evergreen Restaurant for.

They had better not be, for their manager, Jim Stowers, is a member of the Janesville police department, and Gary's father, Marvin Bruhn. is a sheriff's deputy. School Records Good Stowers, with a capable from the parents of the boys, determined that grades of the" student-musicians will not suffer 1 and, he says proudly, "all to-, gethcr they have close to a B' average."

It is Stowers who has rented" the Armory for the dance day night for he feels it is porlant to provide some good lertainmcnt for the youth and the Friday night-, affair will be well-chaperoned.

Gary Bruhn, the only 9th grader with the combo, is lead they do it by listening to records, capturing the sound and; playing by ear. Parents have been "most co-.
