o ¢ 0 ¢ 0 ¢ 0 ¢ 0 ¢ Q

o ¢ 0 ¢ 0 Puka Squares Fir st an apology to our correspondents. In the rush 'to get out last month's issue, many anicles submitted by the correspondents were misplaced. However, all of these are included in this month's issue . To you who have wondered what happened, again ou r sincerest apologies and we hope that this won't happen again.

Memo to Dick Oguro: Your recommendation for a teenage reporter for the PARADE sounds good. How about pursuing this idea with Sandy Kawashaina and have Sandy submit a teenage report for the next issue?

We indicated in last month's Puka Squares that we would try for an appriasal concerning Francis Taka­mow's new responsibilities, and his feelings con­cerning things in general. In arranging the interview, he suggested that it be held in his principal's office at Aliamanu Elementary School. We heartily en­dorsed his idea, and got a free lunch to boot.

The publicity concerning Francis' promotion to Brigadier General was fully covered by the news­papers, these stories covering all aspects of his rise In his military career. Therefore, we did not want to go over the same ground. In the interview at Aliamanu Schooi, Francis himself, as he kept talking, provided us with that approach we had been seeking, which is his concern for education.

The results of the interview ar e summarized in our editoriai entitled "The General And The Teacher".

, In thi s editorial , we have tried to relate the two responsibilities that Francis Takemoto now shoul­ders. And, our cover for this month, picturing a group of Hawaii's schc~1 children in their usual school portr ait , illustrates and symbolizes the two­edged sword of Francis Takemoto's responsibilities; that of being a General, and a Teacher.

At this writing, we are hoping to obtain from Francis a family portrait. As Francis explained in the inter­view, he does not bel1eve he should be getting all

" of this publicity because there are others equally deserving. He says that he is inwardly shy and furth~r classes himself as an introvert, but we 'have convinced him that a family portrait is necessary. Besides his wife Gladys, who is a school teacher at McKinley High Schooi, there are the two children _ ~darol Dee, a junior at the University (who Francis I entities as the extrovert of the family) and Harvey S, a senior at the University High S~hool.

Again, congratulat ions to FranCis on his promotion H aus .the h rst Nisei to attain a General's rank in the

OIled State s Army.

Rereading th R' f h ' , II I e Ime 0 t e AnCient Manner after

an nterval of many long years has made us come

to appreciate this classic poem of Coleridge's all the more. "That bright-eyed mariner" with "the glittering eye" tells a fascinating tale as he relates hiS torture after he has killed the albatross; and leaves t~~ wedding guest, and all of us, with tbis lesson: Farewell, farewell I but this Itell to thee thou Wedding Guestl He prayeth well, who loveth well Both man and bird and beast." How much more effectively can one convey the lesson of "Thou Shalt Not Kill" than to read tbe AnCient Mariner to a young mind?

And, whlle still on the subject of education, it is interesting to note Dr. Hubert Everly's recent statement that last year, HawaII lost one-third of its iocally-trained teachers to the mainland public school systems. Dr. Everly, wbo is dean of the College. of Education at our University, was making the POint that the losses were due to the much higher saiaries being paid by the mainland schoois. Howe~er, it also points out very dramatically the qual1flcations of our locally-trained teachers.

One final illustration to point up Francis Takemoto's feeling regarding the importance of Stepping out nght at the elementary level. This one is from a recent cartoon in the Star-Bulletin picturing one little kiddie tricycle saying, "Some child psycholo­gists say we reach our highest capacity for learning ~t 8." And the little four-wheeled Scooter agrees:

The rest is alI downhill."

CHARLIE Happy New Yearl

1963 was a good year with many events and activities . Outgoing officers: President -Ronald Higashi, Vice President - Roben Takato, Secretary - Richard Yamamoto, and Treasurer - Sumio Ito, deserve con­gratulations. We can look back to the many gay gatherings and the meeting even­ings which were both for business and enjoyment with lots of refreshments. Re­members Sumio Ito being reprimanded several times for coming "five minutes " late. Sumio has to travel all the way from Kailua and, unfortunately, any tardiness on his part wa s easily noticed. Chicken Mi ­yashiro creeped in probably more often but less conspicuously . Guess it doesn't pay to be an officer. Their hard work should be appreciated - "Thank you' from C Chapter.

Now the 1964 officers should be welcomed: PreSident - Robert Has himoto, Vice - Presi­dent - Takeshi Kimura, Secretary - Warren Iwai, and Treasurer - Stanley Teruya. They deserve our fullest support during 1964.

A bit of statistics picked out of the list in the back of our" Ambassadors in Arms" are as follows:

C Co. KIA's (approximate): U. S. 30 Hawaii 70

Total 100

C Co. Vets (approximate) Total 400

State of Hawaii (rough estimate) 400

Island of Oahu (rough estimate) 200

C Chapter Club 100 members (paid up) 81

C Chapter membership turnout, about 30

The beginning of the year is a good time to contemplate these figures. The Club 100 ha,s a new committee evaluating long range programs. We as members can help along by getting into the feel of our organization, This writer does not wish to re-live past glories, but urges all members to look back to the Ambassadors in Arms at least once a year. Read the names of some of those listed in the back. I am sure these names mean a lot to you.

The motto of our club "For ContinuingServ­ice • will fall in perfect harmony with your thoughts as you pass over the names of your former buddies. The names of veter­ans who live just out of reach of your daily activities - I'm sure you would like to sit together with these men over a bottle of beer. We have lost a few of our members over the past years. A few more wlll go thiS year and the 'next. Our group is not very large, and it is not too late to stan calling on some of your friends .

A C Chapter reunion is in the books for 1965. This reunion can only be as good as each member makes it. It would not be too early for you to start writing to your friends to urge them to come to Honolulu in 1965. This effort is only as difficult as it takes to pick up a pen and paper to stan writing. Your friend may be hesitating and your word of welcome will surely make it simple for him to decide.

The kuwaye family has relocated from Palolo Valley to Niu Valley. Several Club HIO members are old time reSidents in this valley and one friendly complaint overheard from Donald directed to Shinobu TofukuJi (Medics) was, "nobody came to greet me • (Address, 362 Halemaumau Place) .

The National Heart Institute has been interested in studying the unusual differences in coronary disease and cerebral vascular disease rate among per.sons of Japanese descent it?- Hawaii. Representatives from this organization will meet with officials of Kuakini Hospital at noon on February 18.

The surveyors need samples of 200-300 males of Japanese ancestry of 45-64 year age span. We believe your organization will be able to secure volunteers for this study.

Editorial THE GENERAL ANr

"I pass like night, from land to land; I have strange powers of speech; That moment that his face I see, I know the man that must hear me; To him my take I teach."

Long before Samuel Taylor Coleridge could come to tell the tale of the Rime of the Ancient Mariner (a verse quoted above), men first had to devise a system of writing. The Chinese tell of how dragon-faced, four-eyed Ts'ang Chien invented the Chinese alphabet by seeing the patterns of the stars, the marks on the back of the turtle, and observing the footprints of birds; from these patterns in nature, Ts'ang Chien created the characters that the Chinese use in writing.

In India, legend has it that the Hindu god Brahma invented the Hindu letters by tracing the seams in the human skull, traCing his first characters with his fingers on leaves of gold. And, in Egypt, the Egyptians believed that the god Thoth, always pictured with the reed brush and the ink palette for writing, invented their s ystem of writing called hieroglyphics.

Them, hundreds of thousands of years ago, we come to the relics of the first men on earth, men who used stone implements and bones to scratch and carve on the walls of their caves the first pictorial history, or "art"; the first stage in the development of the graphic arts.

This is the background which come to mind as we sat in Principal Francis Takemoto's office in Aliamanu School last week discussing his profeSSion, which, if we look at it in the light of the background presented above, could be considered to be older than that profession which we commonly refer to as the oldest pro­fessionl

"To see a child pick up a pencil and to watch him work out his first alphabets; to watch over his shoulder and see the lines and curves slowly turn into A's, and B's, and C's - this is a satisfying thingl" As Francis Takemoto explains it, the child, once he leaves his elementary surroundings, quickly gets removed from the basic roots of teaching, and begins to develop into the pattern of his individual character. But, at the elementary level, a child is a child is a child. And it is within this element that Francis Takemoto thrives, for it is here that he directs the first step which is so vital in the final development which leads to that group of men, and women, who become the hard core of the protectors of our nation, and our ideals of freedom - the Armed Forces of the United States of America.

For, as Commander of the 29th Infantry Brigade of the Hawaii Army National Guard, Brigadier General Francis Takemoto commands an initial force of four thousand of Hawaii's soldiers stationed on all of our major islands, and he sees in this integrated fighting force the maturity of that fi st illegible scrawl - the

bl Ie

~ THE TEACHER child with pencil now grown up to be a man with a gun in hand. standing on the ramparts of liberty and freedom. guarding the right of the child to scrawl and scribble.

Aliamanu School was built in 1958 and the Department of Public Instruction (now Department of Education) assigned Francis to the School as its first prin­cipal. but not without misgivings. for Francis was the first principal of Oriental descent to be assigned to head a school located within a military reservation. No one else has occupied the principal's chair at Aliamanu School.

Having received his assignment from the Department. Francis immediately got together with the architects and the builders. and he has been growing with the school ever since. In a school of 1.200 pupils. 90% of whom are children of Navy personnel. one of Francis's recurring problems is that of the Navy parent expressing doubt over the capability of Francis. and of his teachers (majority being of Oriental lineage also). to provide the type and quality of education de­manded by the Navy parent. As Francis tells it. it is a "satisfying thing" when he receives a letter from the Navy parent (from his subsequent station) commend­ing Francis and his staff on the education of his child.

Francis believes implicitly that the library is the focal point in the school. and much of his concentration is in building up his school's library. Books. and lots of them (and not necessarily those on the Department' s recommended reading list). provide the opportunities for selection. and create and stimulate the desire for more reading. Then. by encouraging parents to provide volunteer service in the library. Francis has a definite feeling that this action helps parents to understand better the workings of the school. and the child. For there are pro­blems. as. for example. explaining or counseling a parent as to why bright and active Johnny behaves so differently at home. Principal Takemoto's problems extend beyond those normally encountered on terra firma - because some of the answers to his problems sail with the ships at seal

As a Brigadier General in the United States Army. Francis Takemoto must bear the responsibility of the star that rides on his shoulders. As a teacher. he has the responsibility for preparing the young mind to be able to listen to. and understand. an old mariner's tale. as well as be prepard to accept the burdens of manhood. Francis Takemoto appears to be carrying out the chores of both responsibilities with admirable success.

HAWAII CHAPTER by Walter Kadota

"I solemnly swear to carry out the duties of my office faithfully to the best of my ability," intoned the newly elected officers of Club 100 in a bedroom whisper which only their wives could make out as Harold Marques administered the oath of office at an installation banquet night at Richard Miyashiro's Cafe 100.

The chorus was made up of Hiroo Furuya, presi­dent; Roger Kawasaki, vice-president; Harumi Mende, treasurer; and Motoyoshi Tanaka, secre­tary. Somehow the auditors, Takao Miyao and Kazuma Taguchi were overlooked and when the oversight was correct by an awkward exhibition of smooching by their wives Harold Marques's fam!liar radio spiel "there's no substitute for experience' was not forthcoming. Charley Brena­men merely smiled indulgently and prayed the Lord the food to bless which they were about to partake.

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • The newly elected president wrestled with opening night jitters and muffed his lines. Paraphrasing the words of the late John F. Kennedy he called on the boys not to ask what the club can do for them but to ask themselves what they can do for the club.

We read you, Porky. Better get started on the next speech and be letter perfect by the time Brigadier General Francis Takemoto comes march­ing into town.

Committee members include: Budget, Kazuma Taguchi; Finance, Tarush Yamamoto, Roger Ka­wasaki; Membership, Seitoku Akamine; Public Relations, Walter Kadota and Harold Marques; Program, Taku Okajima, Larry Tanimoto, Ken Hamada; Me m 0 ria I service, Yasuo Iwasaki ; Christmas party, Takao Miyao, George Taketa, Taku Okajima; Mutual ASSistance, Larry Hirokawa, Stanley Ushijima, Hideo Kon; Honorary Member­ship, Susumu Hata; Legislative, George Inouye; Boys &.

Another guest, Chunichi Kimura, member of the State Board of Education and a local barrister, said we do not have equal justice before the law and that we should explore the possib!llties of getting legislation passed creating a Legal Aid Society to provide a public defender's counsel in the court for the poor, the indigent and the average Joe Blow who can't afford to pay a lawyeT's fee when haled into court. He rolled into high gear with his college learned oratory and you can't blame Porky for going into a deep freeze following a main cut acr like that.

It is a measure of the man that our lawyer friend warmly thanked Joe Takata and the boys of the i DOth for prying open the door that permits a Nisei like him to sit upstairs in the high halls of government and learning .

Larry Tanimoto, outgOing president said, "I'd heard about this club being a beer-drinking society when I first took over but I did not know that the close­ness and the fellowship that exists in this club was so superb. In spite of pro and con arguments on controversial matters when there's work to be done everybody pitches in liOe synchronized gears in fine machinery. This is what makes them unique and it is easy to head a club like this.'

And not to make a liar out of him Dog Co. boys are getting out a task force to help him put up his new house.

Representing the mother club Dr. Kengo Otagaki who should have gotten a doctorate in psychiatry gave out with Irish blarney and greeted everyone with the remakr, "you guys haven't changed a bit, you all look young.'

Which explains why Jimmy Mitsuda was flitting from table' to table with surprising alacrity administer­ing to the alcoholic demands of the guys who had learned from a doctor that they hadn't changed a bit. Jimmy's new-found youth must have baffled his family and his employer. · ................... .-....

FISHING If you think the fish prices were high during the past New Year holidays, you're badly mistaken. Th. Club 100 Fishing Club members paid a very, very high price for a fish when Richard Okl caught a 7 oz. kumu on January 18-19, out Leeward side of Oahu. Seven members chipped in $1.00 each for the jackpot for this monthly outing. So, in simple math, I oz. - $1.00. "Maru moke" Richard got $ 7 .00 plus bringing home the fish.

On February 15, at the same place, a club member was almost sent back to City Hall to get a business license when, instead of catching fish, the boys caught Hawaiian "Nori" - green colored seaweed. So next time, if the club returns to the same location, will be prepared to bottle the "Nori" with a health slogan "Untouched by hand but use the feet.'

At our last meeting, the Fishing Club went on record to donate $50.00 toward obtaining a TV set in the lounge. Lately, more club members are using the facilities of our clubhouse. During the weekends, as you know, any time at home when the TV konks out, something big is miSSing in your life. It' s the same at the Clubhouse. So, if you want to donate, please do. .

Borrowing on GI Insurance

. Veterans holding permanent Gllife insurance policies need not surrender them for cash In order to meet finanCial emergencie s.

Veterans may borrow up to 94 per cent of their policles'cash surrender value.

This action, while reducing the amount of protection, does leave the policy In force.

Once surrendered for cash, however, all protection under the Insurance would cease and could not be renewed nor reinstated.

Money borrowed and not repaid would be deducted from the policy proceeds due the beneficiary should the veteran die.

Annual Interest on GI policy loans is chargl'd at four per cent on tbe unpaid balance and must be paid on or before tbe due date.

Green Thumbs' By Richard Yamamoto

Time does go by rather fast. Here we are ready for our March meeting. A few of the program scheduled for the year are a slide show of local award winning flowers for 1963, basic reporting of Orchids, Bonsai, landscaping, and dressing up of plants for use as gifts. We welcome other sug­gestions.

We have been re-potting community pots of orchid seedlings at every meeting. Miniature and yellow cattleya seedlings have been requested and they will be purchased in the near future. At this rate, we all should have a sizeable collection of find orchids. .

About this time of the year, we look forward to see new faces at our meetings. Mrs. Herbert Yamamoto has returned and we would like to see more of you old timers. New members are wel­comed.

The Green Thumbs club meets on the 1st Monday of each month at the clubhouse. Initiation fee is $5.00 and dues are $1.00 for the year. You old timers that have paid the $5.00 years ago need only to pay the current dues. The seellngs you take home far exceeds the cost of the Initiation fee and dues.

During 1963, Robert Aoki, Kazuo Kamemoto and Sueo Sakamoto have been consistent winners of a wards for their flowering orchid plants at various orchid shows and judging sessions. Congratulations .

The officers for 1964 are PreSident, Goro Sumida; Vice-President, Hlsao Furutanl; Secretary, Tom Nosse; and Treasurer, Tomeki Nishioka. We are anticipating another great year.

A Lobby for Higher Education Remarks by

Thomas H. Hamilton President, University of Hawaii At Club 100 Installation Banquet

Saturday, February I, 1964

It is a pleasure for me tonight to be able to address Club 100. I knew a good deal about the 100th Infantry Battalion long before I had ever visited these Is­lands. Such names as Salerno, Cassino, Hills 590, 600, and 610 your organiza­tion in its military days made famous. You have been saluted so many times for the bravery which you exhibited in those days that it would be presumptuous on my part to try to design new accolades. Just let me say that I salute and respect you for that war-time contribution.

But I am equally impressed by the role you .. have played since we laid down our arms at the conclusion of World War II. Club 100 itself was intended to serve not only as a social and mutual assistance organization for members and their families but also as an association dedicated to promoting the unity and welfare of all the people of Hawaii. It was on July I, 1952, that the Honolulu Star-Bulletin editoralized the following words: "It is in the finest tradition of service that the Club 100 operates today. It is no self-seeking veterans' lobby. It has the broad community view. And, on its tenth anniversary, the 100th can take pride not only in its battle honors, but in the peace-time records many of its members have made in their community."

And on that tenth anniversary you adopted a slogan. And it is to that slogan that I wish to relate my remarks tonight, for you chose as expressive of what the 100th stood for the words "For Continuing Service."

I am at the moment most concerned that as a nation we may not be able to meet adequately the higher educational needs which are going to face the United States between now and 1975. And I am sometimes puzzled as to why this is the case. We can't really excuse ourselves on the basis that we lack resources, and cer­tainly there has been adequate warning of what was to come in the way of number. I and many other college and university administrators have since shortly after World War II been pointing out on every possible occasion the implications of our greatly increased birth rate for higher education starting particularly in 1964. And there has been a widespread attempt to get understanding of how dependent our society as a whole is on the provision of educational opportunity for all w~o are capable and diligent. For on the wise use of these human re­sources depends the achievement of the good society, justice, economic progress, and indeed perhaps survival itself. Why, then, if these things have been stressed am I now pessimistic that we are not prepared to do the job in the next twelve years that needs to be done?

Part of the blame, I think, must rest with the educators themselves. For ex­ample, following the defeat of the bill which would have provided Federal assistance for the construction of college buildings in 1962, the then Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, now Senator Ribicoff, was the featured speaker at the

annual meeting of the American Council on Education, which is the major orgam­zation representing American higher education. Irs annual meetings are anended by almost all college and university presidents in America. In his address Mr. Ribicoff gave us a well-deserved tongue lashing. Where had we been, he wanted [0 know, during those periods when he and his staff and the White House were trying desperately to get this measure through the two Houses of Congress? He pointed out that time after time members of the House or the Senate would say, "But we have had no communication from the college and university presi­dents in our district or our s tate." Now, university presidents don't like to receive tongue lashings any more than anyone else does. And usually, as do most human beings, we try to find some defense for our mistakes. But those of us who then sat on the Board of Directors of the American Council on Education recognized that there was great truth in what the Secretary had said. We had indeed sat on our hands, hoping that someone else would do the job for us. As a result of this soul searching and honest recognition of the facts, under the leader­ship of the American Council on Education the college and university presidents of American were extremely active in thiS past session of Congress and let our needs be known in the most positive terms in which we could state them. I hesitate to estimate how many letters I wrote or how many members of the Congress I, either alone or in company with other university presidents, went to see. As a result there was passed this past session of Congress a College Facilities Bill, which should have been passed ten years ago.

I think there is another reason why we as a nation are probably unprepared for what is about to hit us. And this is the understandable reluctance on the part of government to commit money far enough in advance to provide the lead time which colleges and universities must have in order to get the job done correctly. Whenever our national Congress meets it is always confronted with the terribly difficult task of allocating resources which must of necessity be limited among almost unlimited demands. And the problem which needs solution this year seems always to take precedence over a problem adminedly of greater importance but which will not come to a head until several years hence.

There has also been, not only in Congress but elsewhere too, a reluctance to recognize both the dimensions of the problem and its only possible solution. Educators have agreed for a long time that not all but certainly the bulk of the lO~rease in the higher educational burden of the future must be carried by ppblic Universities. This is recognized and in no way detracts from the magnificent contribution to higher education which has been made, is still being made, and Will continue to be made by our great private colleges and univerSities. But as the economy has developed the private sectors simply cannot provide the re­sources necessary for the kind of expansion which the future calls for. Yet Some unwilling to face up with this have resorted to various ways of tinkering such as the proposed exemption of tuition from income for taxable purpose in the hope that these half measures or less than half would somehow cause the problem to disappear.

~ut I. think the basic reason that we are not farther down the road in providing hacllmes. f.or hi,gher education in the United States is the fact that we don't rea.lly have a Cltlzens lobby for higher education. Elementary and secondary educatlon :ve done much bener on this score through the many local boards of education, ~o~ PTA's~ the citizens groups. They have managed to achieve public support

d educatlon below the twelfth grade which we cannot even approach in higher e ucatlon.

Now some of you may object to my use of the word, "lobby," in speaking of the need for a citizens group which would urge upon our legislative bodies the needs of higher education, for lobby frequently has been interpreted as a dirty word. But as any legislator, be he state or national, will tell you, he finds ft difficult to get very excited about issues which seem not to be important to his constitl:!ents. And many state legislatures with which I have dealt, when the chips are down dare not delete a proposed highway because of the known wide­spread support of voters for the project, but the construction of a university classroom building can be postponed and no one will scream but the president of the university. And he, particularly if he has an independent-minded wife, such as mine, controls only one vote.

In this analysis, I am not being critical of legislators on either a state or national level. In a democracy they respond to the needs which the citizens urge upon them. Somehow American higher education has to get its needs better known among citizens, and the citizens must accept the responsibility for indicating to their elected representatives that these needs are vital and resources should be furnished.

Of what relevance is this general analysis of American higher education and its needs here in the State of Hawaii? Let me, first, pay my. respects to the legisla­tures of Hawaii and their administrations for the relative progress which has been made in support of the University of recent years. In the last twelve years there has been a five-fold increase in State appropriations for the operating expenses of the University of Hawaii, and during that period the student enroll­ment at the University increased only two and three-fourths' times. The evidence is clear that our legislature has made a real and determined effort to support the University of Hawaii. And I think it is unfair when speaking of present and future needs not to recognize this or to hold present legislators responsible for the sins of omission of many years ago.

But having said thiS, the fact remains that resources relative to student enroll­ments are going to have to increase proportionately in the future if the University of Hawaii is to become that institution which I am sure the citizens of Hawaii want it to.

In trying to think this problem through when I first arrived in Hawaii, it was apparent to me that before I could ask the citizens of this State to give vigorous and continued support to the University, the University had to give ample indication that it knew- both where it was and where it was going. This, I think, has noW been done. The plan for the academic development of the University of i,awaii, recently approved by the Board of Regents, is to my mind a good one, and certainly outlines desirable developments in considerable detail. There is not time tonight to discuss this plan in detail, but it is one characterized by balance and pru­dence. It recognizes our great obligation to the undergraduate student and the need to improve education at that level, while at the same time taking care of the greatly increased number of students who will be knocking at our door. It recognizes that at the graduate and research level, the State of Hawaii cannot possibly support a university which tries to become distinguished in all fields of knowledge. And thus it develops certain principles of selectivity, and the plan is economically responsible when it tries to project costs, and then relate them to the State's ability to pay. As I said earlier, in the last ten years State ap­propriations for the operation of the University have increased five-fold. This

plan contemplates that in the next ten years State appropriations for this purpose will increase only four and a half times.

I hope you will take the time to read this plan at least in its abridged version, give it careful thought, and hopefully Club 100 will become a part of the citizens' lobby for the University of Hawaii.

I am proud now to be a citizen of the State of Hawaii, and while I am still a new­comer nevertheless it must be remembered that those who are born in Hawaii had little to say about the matter while I deliberately chose it. I want nothing but good things for this State, and I am sure that perhaps the greatest single instrument in achieving what we all want for this State is the development in Manoa Valley of a truly distinguished university. And the University would like to join you For Continuing Service.
