Kiamy Becomes
Fourth PINE
Manager For Year
Abbott Withdraws
From Race; New
Ad Man Active
Joffre Kiamy was named busi­ness
manager of THE PIN E at a
special meeting of the student
council last Thursday evening. He
assumed his duties with this issue
of the student newspaper, working
this week with Tierce Long, form­er
manager.
Well known both on the campus
and downtown, Kiamy, a junior, is
active in the Industrial Arts club,
local departmental group, and Ep­silon
Pi Tau, national honorary in
that field. Last year he was presi­dent
of the Newman club, Catho­lic
students organization. He has
been a member of the freshman
and varsity football squads, and
took part in the activities of the
Boxing club during his first two
years here.
The new business manager,
fourth to hold the position this
year, received unanimous approval
of the council for the post after
a novel letter of withdraway from
Thurston Abbott the only other
applicant was read to the student
legislative group by Rip Van
Winkle, student body president.
(Pleate Turn to Page Four)
Achievements Of
Men Of Sod Cited
Dear Editor:
In the last two issues of THE
PIN E, gross,insults have been pub­lished
reviling the natives of the
Sod, casting aspersions upon their
intellect -and making libelous
statements cdnceming the weath­er
to be found upon the Emerald
Isle.
It is, then, entirely fitting that
we who are proud to oall ourselves
Irish, or even those of u s who own
Irish terriers, to rise up and refute
these utterly unfounded state­ments.
Think of the numerous crimes
which would be perpetrated were
it not for that noble character, the
Irish policeman. We shudder at
the thought of a world without
juke boxes which play “The Old
Irish Washerwoman.”
Think of the gloomy earth de­prived
of corned beef and cab­bage,
*1116 Wearin’ of The
Green,” and “Wrong Way" Cor­rigan.
Consider even the moan­ing
of bagpipes. If it weren’t
for the Irish, the Scotch wouldn’t
have ever adopted this instru­ment.
The story runs thus: It
is said that the Irish invented
the bagpipes and sold them to
the Scotch as a joke, but the
Scotsmen never caught on. And
we remind you that Charley Mc­Carthy
is an Irishman.
Another boon we owe to the il­lustrious
men of Eire is mulligan
stew. And those of us who are
wont to exclaim “aw Blarney!”
would be minus a favorite ejacu­lation
if it were not for the Irish,
who invented the Blarney stone.
These and numerous other boons
to mankind and to The Abbott are
too many to mention. And so, we.
the “Society for the Protection and
Encouragement of Irishmen,” sijrn
off.

With 7 Wins
Conference Men,
Woman, Widely
Known In Fields
Careers Show Many
Accomplishments In
Teacher Training
Leaders of the education con­ference
to take place thiB week
end on the campus are widely
known in their fields, a survey of
their careers shows.
In addition to Dr. Kilpatrick,
whose work is summarized in to­day's
lead story, those who will
be present Friday include Dr. Wes­ley
Peik, dean of the school of
education of the University of Min­nesota;
Dr. Laura Hooper, of Wel­lesley
college; Dr. Paul Misner, su­perintendent
of schools at Glen­coe,
111-, and Dr. Frank Baker,
president of Milwaukee State Tea­chers
college.
Dr. Peik is probably best known
for hia work in the field of sec­ondary
education and school ad­ministration.
He is a' leader in the
development of problems and prac­tices
of teacher education, espe­cially
in the secondary schools.
Much of his work has centered
around surveys of problems and
practices of teachers, and he is
known for his vital interest in the
progress of teacher education.
Dr. Hooper, who holds the title
of professor of education at Wel­lesley
college bar long been in­terested
in public elementary school
work, and specializes in kindergar­ten-
primary education. She has
been a consultant on arithmetic
books for a large educational pub­lishing
house. At present she is
a vice president of the Progressive
Education association for the New
England area.
r. Baker is a progressive among
progressives in the field of educa­tion,
and he has carried out out­standing
experimental work at
Milwaukee State Teachers college
in Wisconsin, of which he is presi­dent
His modified teacher train­ing
program employs the individ­ual
conference method, as contrast­ed
with the usual lecture-class style
of education courses. He is a lead­ing
authority on the selection of
prospective teachers.
While at Glencoe Dr. Misner has
been particularly interested in de­veloping
a program of democratic
school organization and adminis­tration.
As a part of his program
at Glencoe, he has organized
more dynamic and effective ag­ency
or community education, a
program which merited an article
in an issue of Time magazine when
the projected was originated.
In a two game* series the
Bury RatB captured the intra­mural
first round title by de­feating
the Independents by a
score of 34 to 17 in Monday’s
games and also handing Proeb’s
Prunes 49 to 25 shellacking on
Wednesday.
As the preliminaries for the
frosh games Friday and Satur­day
the champeen Bury Rats
defeated two town teams. Fri­day
night the Rata easily out­classed
the Senior “A ” team by
a score of 38 to 21 and in Sat­urday’s
game they trounced the
Monterey Club quint 42 to 21.
Members of the team are: G il­bert
Corona, Wallace Ciochetti,
Clyde Overson, Warren Phillips,
Flav© Jiminez, Edward Kennedy
and Reed Teeples.
The second round of the tour­nament
is expected to start this
week.
Ardrey Gives
First Four
Choir Dates
Famous Choral
Group Curtails
Trip For War
Because of the war conditions,
he travelling program of the col­lege’s
nationally famous a capella
choir will be n e a tly curtailed this
year, Dr. E1aon Ardrey, head of
the music department and director
of the group said last week, in
announcing the dates for several
appearances which have been defi­nitely

A t present, only four programs

although others may possibly be
added between now and April,

War Time America.”
A group of the outstanding pro­gressive
education leaders of the
United States will be in Flagstaff
to take part in the conference,
hich will be opened with a gen­eral
session Thursday evening.
Speaker at the first session will
be William H. Kilpatrick, profes-sor-
emeritus of education at Co­lumbia
university, who will speak
on “A Modem Education for To­day’s
Children, Youth, and Adults.”
Dr. Kilpatrick, who holds the
reputation of being one of the
country’s keenest analyists and
soundest elaboratora of the trends
of modem public education in a
democracy, has long been associa­ted
with the Progressive Educa­tion
association as honorary vice
president, and as a member of the
advisory board. He has often been
referred to as “America’s greatest
Living Teacher” and in his 28 years
at Columbia he has constantly
stressed that education must pre­serve
democracy.
Two of his many books, “Edu­cation
for a Changing Civilization”
and “Our Educational Task as I l ­lustrated
in the Changing South,”
have both stressed the theme that
democracy demands a special kind
of education, and criticize exist­ing
school program as authoritar­ian
and undemocratic.
Following Dr. Kirkpatrick’s op­ening
address on Thursday, the
conference proper will get under­way
Friday morning, with a gen­eral
session on “The Role of
Schools in National Defense.” Ap­pearing
on the panel of the gen­eral
session will be Dr. Laura
Hooper, of Wellesley college; Paul
Misner, superintendent of schools,
Glencoe, 111.; W. E. Peik, school of
education at the University of
Minnesota, and Frank Baker, Mil­waukee,
State Teachers college, in
addition to four educational lead­ers
from northern Arizona, whose
names have not yet been announc­ed.
*
After the general session, the
conference will hold a series of
group sessions, with each of the
above leaders as a speaker for one
of the groups. Dr. Hooper will
address a group on “Problems of
an Activity Program” ; Mr. Mis­ner
will Bpeak before a group on
the “ Utilization of Community Re­sources
in the Curriculum” ; Dr.
Peik will talk to a group on “The
Future of our Secondary Schools”
and Dr. Baker will appear before,
a group which will consider “New
Challenges to Teacher Education.”

by another series of group
sessions, Dr. Hooper’s group dis­cussing
“Records and Reports in
the Moderen Elementary Schools” ;
Dr. Misner, “The Skills in a Mod­em
Elementary School,” and Dr.
Baker, “How can We Teach Dem­ocracy
in our Schools?” Dr. Peik
will address the final general ses­sion,
which will follow the group
meetings, on “New Challenges to
Modem Schoolmen."
The conference will be concluded
with a dinner meeting where dis­cussion
will center around the
tonic “The Future of Progressive
Education and the Progressive Ed­ucation
Association,” with Dr.

speakers.
