Howdy.  I imagine this is an elementary Ruby question, but I'd love to
learn the right Ruby idiom for this.

I'd like to take the results of an ActiveRecord.find() and turn them
into an array of arrays [[item1_col1,item1_col2], [item2_col1,
item2_col2]].

Here's my code sample of the brute force way I'm doing it, but I bet
it can be reduced fewer lines of code...

    @crit_sections = Hash.new
    x = Reference.find(
      :all,
      :select => "refid,name",
      :conditions => "ref_type = 'Division'",
      :order => "name")

    ar = []
    x.each do |xi|
      ar.push([xi.refid, xi.name])
    end
    @crit_sections["division"] = ar

Much thanks!
Michael
