THE COURIER-JOURNAL, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1986 7 KEA leader flies, Collins walks in drive on school-chief proposal Will it- Elderly wait in line for course on Merton about three hours with two members of the Kentucky House. Under the proposal, the state Board of Education would draw up qualifications for the post and hire a superintendent on a renewable contract for up to five years. Members of the state board would be nominated by the governor and confirmed by the Kentucky Senate for staggered six-year terms. They now are appointed by the governor with no confirmation. In a separate news conference in Louisville, several state education, business and civic leaders joined forces in urging support for passage of the amendment.
Those attending included James Ratcllffe, a member of the state Board of Education; Irish Irish," immediate past president of the state PTA; Sylvia Watson, a former'Jef-ferson County commissioner and a member of the Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence; Jefferson County School Superintendent Donald W. Ingwerson; and Jefferson County Judge-Executive Harvey Sloane. Aisoclattd Pratt Opponents of the proposed constitutional amendment to make the state school superintendent an appointive post campaigned across the state yesterday, while Gov. Martha Layne Collins went door to door supporting it. On a whirlwind airport tour that Included stops in Northern Kentucky, Paducah and Owensboro, Kentucky Education Association President David Allen disputed claims that education should be operated like a business and that an appointed superintendent would help achieve such an effect.
"Education Is not a corporate business," he said at Greater Cincinnati International Airport In Boone County. "The children are not assembly-line products like computers, televisions or even Toyotas." The KEA, a statewide teachers' organization, and the state PTA also began newspaper and radio advertisements yesterday.

Osborn was encouraging the group to learn how to relax with transcendental meditation breathing exercises. Dr.
Donald R. Osborn spoke to a group of 35 people at Bellarmine College yesterday. They are participating in a weeklong Elderhostel at By GEORGE GRAVES Slid Writer For four years, Bellarmine College has invited elderly people from all over the country to spend a week on its campus learning about a Trappist monk who died nearly 20 years ago. And every year, the 35 spots fill up quickly, and the disappointed insist that their names be put on a waiting list. The monk is Thomas Merton, and "he seems to be one of those figures, where, when people are interested, they can't get enough," said Robert E.
Daggy, director of the college's Thomas Merton Studies Center. Daggy also runs Bellarmlne's EI-derhostel program, part of a national network that includes other Kentucky schools. The non-profit Elder-hostel headquartered In Boston, encourages colleges and universities to design low-cost, weeklong programs dealing with a particular theme for senior citizens. Merton, one of the leading intellectuals of his time, spent his years as a monk at Gethsemani Abbey near Bardstown. As Daggy points out, the famous monk lived in a way that inspires many elderhostelers: "Merton never stopped growing." "He could have been born at any time, during any age and been right on," Ray Tomaszewski said.
He and his wife, Kay, are among Bellarmlne's elderhostelers. They call Grand Rapids, home, but they log many miles traveling to hostels for the elderly. After discovering them just a couple of years ago, they have been to 16 from Arizona to Canada. In January, they attend three consecutive elder-hostels in the Southeast. This is the second year Edmund RELIGION NOTES was a religious experience to have been (at the abbey Thursday) for vespers." "You really feel Merton's spirit here with us," she said.
"I think we have been truly blessed, more than we know." "Last December, I started reading about him," said Elizabeth Laurent of Sebastopol, Calif. "I'd like to do his horoscope that's what I'd like to do. He sounds a lot like me. He loved to travel, but he wanted to be alone. He was religious, but worldly." And like Merton, she said, "I write poetry." Charles Meagher remembers seeing Merton at Gethest nani in 1941, when Merton was a new monk there.
The occasion was a religious procession to which the public was invited. Mary Meagher has another memory of Gethsemani, from 1947. On this visit, she and her husband happened to notice the monks returning from the fields at dusk. The monks, bedecked in boots, straw hats and bandannas, presented a peaceful tableau. "It was just tranquillity personified," she said.
"Merton is the icing on the cake for me," Mary Meagher said. "It Reimer has traveled from Rockport, to soak up a week's worth of Thomas Merton. Last year, the elderhostelers' trip to Gethsemani didn't include a pause at Merton's grave. This year, it did, and Reimer said the stop was worth the wait. The trip to Gethsemani moved Mary Corcoran, too.
"I was wiped out, I was overwhelmed," she said. "Thomas Merton has been a writer I have read, off and on (and) not too deeply," Corcoran, of Urbana, 111., said. "I have become a devotee now. Saint and devil, he comes out so human, his love of God runs through everything." Mary Meagher and her husband, Charles, live in a retirement community known as Vincentown in New Jersey. Their trip to Louisville has been a pilgrimage.
Chprles Meagher grew up in Louisville, and two of his uncles became Trappist monks at Gethesemani after their wives died. They, too, are now gone, and the Meaghers visited their graves along with Merton's during the elderhostel visit to the abbey Thursday. African nation will hold trial soon for ex-dictator BANGUI, Central African Republic (AP) Jean-Bedel Bokassa, the former dictator of the Central African Republic who proclaimed himself emperor, will be tried soon on charges of treason, murder and cannibalism. President Andre Kolingba said yesterday. On Oct.
22, Bokassa, 65, left France, where he had been in exile. and flew in secret to Bangui. He was arrested immediately. Bokassa was commander of the army when he seized power in 1969.
