OVERHAUL FOR HIGH SCHOOLS? . . . A major new study of secondary education by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching is expected to call for setting back the classroom clock by almost 25 years! JAMES BRYANT CONANT's 1959 book titled THE AMERICAN HIGH SCHOOL TODAY, spurred the creation of large, centralized schools offering academic and vocational instructions. The Carnegie report will conclude that today's students would, be better served by smaller specialized units that could directly address their needs. _Carnegie researchers estimated that 10 to 15 percent of U. S. high schools are very good while 25 percent-do very little educating at all. STUDENT LEADERS EXPERIENCE GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR LEARNING AT THE PI KAPPA PHI ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE . . . Thirty chapters sent their archons and vice-archons to Charlotte during two weekends in April. There they were exposed to 14 hours of intensive leadership training, conducted by the Administrative Office staff. The critiques from the participants were high in praise and feeling of accomplishment. These officers had all just been elected, so the timing was excellent. A similar seminar will be conducted over the first two weekends of January. Until some alumni volunteer to endow this program through the Foundation, chapters will continue to have to finance their officers travel expense. P.U.S.H. TO RECEIVE ESTATE GIFT . . . Symbolizing P.U.S.H.'s emergence as a widely known and recognized national philanthropy, the Board of Directors recently received notification of a pending bequest to Project P'.U.S.H. The will of May Zehner of New York City specified that ten
percent of her gross estate be given to charities specified in a separate letter from her to her executor. The attorney of Karen Lucas, executor of the estate, served notice that P.0.5.H. was to be one of those receiving funds. MISCELLANEOUS SUPREME CHAPTER INFORMATION . . • Two PI Kapps have been selected by the National Council to be added to the PI KAPPA PHI HALL OF FAME -- they will be announced/presented at the Mobile convention. 2. Although it was an idea considered and would constitute an educational experience for Pi Kapps in attendance, contrary to the rumor otherwise, GOVERNOR GEORGE WALLACE will not be a speaker at the opening banquet. 3. Instead of one traditional luncheon those attending, wives included, will enjoy a dinner at the • dog tracks--good food and good fun! 4. Alumni and wives can get complete information and registration by contacting the Administrative Office (P. 0. Box 240526, Charlotte, N.C. 28224, phone 704/523-6000). Remember the dates-August 13-17, 1983. 5. Several modules from an active P.U.S.H. unit will be on exhibit at the Hilton Hotel in Mobile. This will give you a hands on experience that will encourage and excite you that PI Kappa Phi is engaged in such a great endeavor. 6. After a one year absence the National Council has selected a member to be named Mr. Pi Kappa Phi. You will enjoy and be impressed by this selection and his presentation at the 39th Supreme Chapter. 1.
