North Gate ^QlJpQf'§ Collogo Station Academic Institute Enrolls Astronomy-Loving Italian The first international student in the Acad^fnic Year Institute plans a triple-barrelled education al assault in the 1966-67 school year. Stefano Accomazzi, junior high science, math and physics teacher in Novara, Italy, wants to im prove his English, augment his mathematical training and glean every scrap of information avail able in astronomy. He’s the first A&M student from Italy since 1959. A TALENTED amateur as tronomer, Accomazzi will be one of 33 junior high science teach ers in the National Science Foun dation sponsored institute study ing math, geology, chemistry, physics, meteorology, biology and education the next nine months. English will likely get his most intense effort. .The French-speak ing Italian taught himself Eng lish and has had only two months practice. He has a foot-thick accent but punctuates his “como se diche” filled conversations sparsely with references to an Italian-English pocket dictionary. “I wish someone would make a ta^fe recording now to compare with his English later,” NSF co ordinator Coleman Loyd remark ed. “It will be difficult to tell it’s Accomazzi.” The 37-year-old University of Pavia graduate has taught 'at Novara’s Institute Tecnico Cojn- merciale Mossotti since 1957, in structing 15-year-olds in science. He was nominated for the pro gram by Italy’s NSF cooperating organization and assigned to A&M by the U. S. State Depart ment. HE PREFERRED Arizona State, because a friend is located at Flagstaff. The proximity of astronomical research instru ments, such as the Lowell Observ atory 42-inch reflector at Flag staff, had bearing on his choice too. Accomazzi’s astronomy back ground easily qualifies him for burning midnight oil. He polished 10 and 12 inch mir rors to build Newtonian and Cassegrainian telescopes, made a coronagraph with which he has photographed solar , prominences, wrote his thesis at Pavia on vari able stars and also teaches astron omy in a free club. His next project is a Schmidt telescope, for late night observing. Accomazzi is member of two Italian astronomical societies and formed the Associazione Astrofili Novaresi at Novara, of which he is secretary. With his scientific enthusiasm and desire to learn, Aggies won’t be hearing “como esta” for howdy very long. FALL TERM We offer streamlined courses that will speed you towa.d your goal.

Beauty lives at Mr. Ryder’s farm, not far from our home, and the coming of her colt has been a prime topic of conversations these past few weeks. This particular day Carla’s question about Starlight’s Daddy and his whereabouts sparked a discussion with my threesome that ranged from God’s plan for the birth and care of baby animals, on to people and their babies. It was a rare and precious moment, such as parents and teachers treas ure, when young minds reach out effortlessly for information and under standing. As we drove home, I thanked God for the opportunity He had given me to share in this eager unfolding of my children’s thoughts and ideas. I thanked Him, too, for His Church which has inspired my religious growth and thus helped me keep pace with the developing queries of my children. The Church is the source of great understanding. THE CHURCH FOR ALL . . . ALL FOR THE CHURCH The Church is the greatest factor on earth for the building of character and good citizenship. It is a storehouse of spiritual values. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and support the Church. They are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his children’s sake. f3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and material support. Plan to go to church regularly and read your Bible daily. Copyright 1966 Keister Advertising Service, Inc., Strasburg, Vo.
