Ritz Bros, In Auditorium Today! an Jfranctsfco Jfogijont f OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE ASSOCIATED STUDENTS UNIVERSITY OF SAN FRANCISCO Vol. 25 No. 8 SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, MARCH 27, 1942 FRIDAY Gleemen Out For 'Good Try' etition Have Trial Recording Soon Taking new heart after Director Leo Hovorka threatened to suspend their entry in the Fred Waring National Glee Club Competition because of lack of "sufficient interest," the Glee Club membership this week moved for a regeneration of spirit, made plans for a trial recording, firmly resolved that the Don Glee Club WILL be an entrant in the nation-wide Intercollegiate Glee Club Competition. Rinaldo Ritchie, along with moderator Hovorka and press agent Jim Moser renewed their plea to the student body for full support in their undertaking and promised that "if the Glee Club has a full turnout, the Don chorusters will be one of the top-ranking entrants in the contest." Also encouraging was the news that only nine colleges will participate from California in the first stage of the contest, the largest being the University of California. "I am confident that our Glee Club is as good as any of the contestants from California, and with any appreciable degree of support from the student body we should make out very well," Hovorka stated Since the first recordings, to be forwarded to competition headquarters in New York, will be made within two weeks, the Glee Club has arranged to make a trial recording of their choral selections. "Sweet and Low", "USF Hymn", and one other selection will make up the Don Glee Club's program. Telegrams and press releases from Fred Waring headquarters indicate that the contest will embrace practically every state in the union. However, the first trials, as far as USF is concerned, will concern only two or three states on the West Coast. When the Don Glee Club enters the final stages of Fred Waring's National Glee Club Competition, their offerings will come to the critical ear of the man who has probably done as much for glee club singing as anyone on the air today. When Waring, in 1938, inaugurated the Pleasure Time broadcasts, sponsored by Chesterfield Cigar- etts, he didn't dream that the radio editors of the country would vote his program the best 15-minute show on the air for three consecutive years; nor that he would wind up as America's champion writer of college pep songs. buy jeepsi——— Trip Holds Up A S N Initiates TWO CAMPUS MEN GO TO HONOR DETROIT Plans for initiating the six new nominees for Alpha Sigma Nu were hanging fire this week, pending completion of travel plans of the chapter's delegates to the Detroit convention of the national honor society. Representing USF at the A.S.N. convention will probably be EM Boessenecker, chapter president and Bob McCarthy, chapter secretary. The initiation will be held together with the annual chapter banquet immediately on the return of the delegates from the national convention. Scheduled for initiation at the time are six prominent members of the junior class headed by their class president, Ronald McLennan, and including Fred Woeinen, Burton Pacioretty, John Zaro, Harry Aguirre and Warren White. WEDNESDAY SET ASIDE FOR PRAYER The Day of Recollection will be held all day Wednesday April 1, in St. Ignatius Church. This day is devoted to the students to suitably prepare themselves for the coming Easter, Fr. Raymond Mc Grorey, Student Counselor, said. "All Catholic students must be present, and any non-Catholic, who wishes to attend is entirely welcome," Fr. McGrorey advised. For some years, the Day of Recollection has been received by the students of the University of San Francisco with open hands, and they will agree that is not a waste of time, he said. "USF is the first school to start this Day of Recollection, and it is my wish that every Catholic College and University accept the idea," the Student Counseler remarked. During times like these it is fitting that a day be given to the students to ponder over the facts of Christ's Passion, Death, and Resurrection, concluded Fr. McGrorey. The schedule of the Day of Recollection will be found on Page 4. MARASCHIS PLAN CLUB CONVENTION MUSCHI CHAIRMAN FOR ANNUAL ITALIAN DISCUSSION MEET The bay region collegiate Italian Club Convention will be held sometime in April, following the next midterms, probably at Santa Clara University, it was announced this week by Maraschi Club president and Convention Chairman, Achille Muschi. The convention, an annual highlight of Northern California college clubs, is designed primarily to promote general interest within the Italian Club memberships and to exchange ideas on organization and operation of the clubs during the college year. This year's conclave will feature committee meetings, speeches by prominent civic leaders and faculty members of San Francisco and East Bay universities. The meet will also include varied performances by musicians, singers, dancers and many other talented local entertainers. Father Bacigalupi, S. J., from the University of Santa Clara, who entertained members to last year's convention with a talk relating to the various Italian operas, will appear at this year's gathering, it was learned from latest reports. Muschi appealed to all members at the last Maraschi meet to be present at the convention and thus insure its success. Most of the invitations for the convention have been already sent and final plans for USFs part in the meet will be drawn up at the Maraschi meeting scheduled for next Thursday at noon in the Semeria Room. NINETY HIGH SCHOOL MEN EXPECTED FOR ARMY DAY Over ninety cadet officers from the various San Francisco High School divisions of the Reserve Officers Training Corps will be welcomed to USF's hilltop campus by the Don Scabbard and Blade Club at the annual Visitors Day, April 6, Chairman George Plato announced today. "• **This year's Visitors Day," stressed Plato, "will be held in conjunction with Army Day and we would appreciate all the cooperation the student body can offer us in making this day a rousing success." PLANS STYMIED Former plans to have soldiers from the Presidio present at the gathering with various Coast Artillery combat weapons showing their transportation and intricate operation, have been stymied by a special military order from Lieutenant General DeWitt forbidding use of Army equipment for such an occasion. Nevertheless, several reels of motion pictures demonstrating the essentials of first aid, the operation of Coast artillery units, and other vital subjects will be shown the visitors. DON REVIEW Colonel Englehart will welcome the officers with a short talk and a review of the Don military unit will be held for the guests at eleven o'clock. Army orders have also defeated the possibility of serving high school officers a luncheon from a portable army canteen which was to have been set up on the parade grounds. Moderators Form Group Revival of interest in the status and activities of campus clubs has given rise to the formation of the Moderators Executive Committee, headed by the Dean of Men and including the moderators of four of the most active organizations. Father Giambastiani, S.J., Dean; A. Russell Berti, St. Ives head; Mel- vin Gorman, moderator of the Bio- Chems; Dr. Edward Kessel of the Wasmann Society; and Dr. Alphonse Fiori, Assistant Dean of Men compose the Committee. The group will meet on the first Tuesday of every month to discuss plans for coordinating all club activities, and to eleminate dead wood and duplications in activities. The idea of Fr. Giambastiani, the committee is one of the results of the Foghorn investigation into the standings and activities of campus clubs. Among the first resolutions of the moderators was an investigation of their own into club standings, and an agreement to inject life into those clubs which have been inactive this semester. "DID YOU EVER SEE A NEUTRAL IRISHMAN?" By WALT McELROY "Ireland Should Remain Neutral," thundered Irish Freshman debaters Jim Henderson and Wallace Colthurst at last Monday's Gavel meeting. "And who," demanded Tom Poggi and Dan O'Sullivan, "ever heard of a neutral Irishman?" "You said that Ireland couldn't be invaded," said Colthurst. "I did not," countered O'Sullivan. "You did." "I didn't" Carefully examining the physiques of the two warriors, Chairman McElroy decided that the slightly sturdier Colthurst was correct. But this was beyond the stage for mere soothing words. The debaters attacked with brickbats instead of phrases. "Come now," demanded Gavel moderator, Mr. Mara, S. J., "the syllogism is mightier than the shillelagh. The judges will render their decision." Crowley, Rice, Riordan and Berliner wisely voted the conflict a draw. Invited to attend the monthly debate conference at St. Mary's College, the Gavel will send Dan O'Sullivan, Bob Riordan, Tom Poggi and moderator Mr. Mara, S. J., to Moraga as representatives. At the conference Riordan and O'Sullivan will answer the question: "What are the present trends of Democracy V and all four delegates will then participate in the Round Table discussion of this same subject Comedians Hit Hilltop After Last Morning Class; Jeep Campaign Brings In Ten More Combat Cars St. Ivesmen Double Sales Driving out in front of the entire student body in the Foghorn's current 'Buy Jeeps' campaign, the Saint Ives Law Club took a $3,632.90 lead over its nearest rival with the purchase of over $5,000 in Victory Bonds this week. With a grand total of ten Jeeps thus far, the moderator, Mr. A. Russell Berti, and Chancellor Bob McCarthy of the Law Club both expressed confidence that their group would have many more Jeeps to their credit before the first Jeep drive reaches its climax with the forthcoming dedication ceremonies, April 7. The Wasmann Club was holding a trailing second to the Ivesmen at the end of the fourth week with a total of $2507.00 purchased in bonds and stamps. Officers hinted they would immediately start a new and final push to surpass the Saint Ives towering total. The Irish Club, with an unexpected show of power upped their total to $55.70, while the Bio-Chems pressed with purchases amounting to $43.75. The Don Band Club still holds an appreciable tally of $81.00. The Senior Class, surging through with purchases of bonds amounting to $150.00 captured the class lead from the Frosh this week and their total now reads $153.75 compared to the Frosh $120.60. The Sophomore and Junior classes remained steady with a slight increase in the Junior's ranks. Maraschi's still hold the cellar post with a $1.50 total. BUY JEEPS! BIO-CHEMS 'MAKEARMY MEN HAPPY' With the new slogan "Make a Service Man Happy", the Bio- Chem Club committee, consisting of Bob Lukes, Ed Seghieri and Chairman Bob Vogel have begun a drive to collect useful articles for the entertainment of soldiers, sailors, and marines during the lonesome hours in quarters and on transports. The comcitteemen have distributed leaflets among the members of the club describing the material desired, and the members are asked to gather magazines and books, candy, radios, stationery, playing cards, games, and athletic equipment of all kinds. JEEP RAFFLE "The Buy a Bond to Buy a Jeep" raffle is meeting with success as the $1.00 chances are being rapidly bought by the members. The $25.00 bond will be given to the winner of the raffle to be held soon, and the profits will be donated to the "Buy a Jeep" campaign. "Colored Motion Pictures" will eb the title of a talk to be given by Edward Seghieri, freshman member of the Bio-Chem Club at 12:15 p. m. on Tuesday, March 31. FTLM CHEMISTRY Seghieri will talk about the chemistry of the motion picture film, primarily those films which are commonly known as technicolor, or colored films. The principle of coloring the films and the chemistry that is required in making such films will be explained in Segheiri's talk. BUY STAMPS; IT SAYS HERE Left to right, the Ritz Brothers, who will appear in the Auditorium Victory Rally at 11:45 this morning. Which one is which we are not able to determine, since the one in the middle is over to the left and the other two have switched. See what we mean? But no matter; they'll help fill the "Buy Jeeps" fund today. -4> EXECS SQUASH MOVE TO AMEND ELECTIONS Soph President John Conroy exercised his constitutional prerogative at the Executive Committee meeting Friday afternoon, and presented a petition for the amendment of an amendment—Article XIX of the ASUSF Constitution, which requires a 1.5 grade point average for student body officers and a 1.0 average for the head yell^ leader. Article XIX, the sixth amendment to the constitution, was adopted by a large majority in the Spring elections of 1940, and was one of five passed by the students in the one election1. It supplanted a previous faculty regulation which required a 1.5 average for all elective offices. As soon as Conroy presented his petition, the Executives pointed out that the wording would destroy the whole force of Article XDC and bring the old faculty regulation back into effect. The petition was an attempt to remove the 1.5 requirement from the officers. In so doing, the Execs declared, it would have voided all present constitutional requirements for all elective offices, and would in particular have restored the old regulation that demanded a 1.5 for Varsity Yell Leader. It is rumored that after the objections, Conroy will withdraw his petition. The whole of Article XIX was the result of a compromise reached by the Student Committee of revision which cleared up several questionable constitutional points in the Spring of 1940. Another constitutional question was settled when the Committee approved last week's resolution which moved the Student nominations and elections from the third to the fourth week in April. The change was made necessary when the semester was shortened and the second mid-term examinations were moved up a week. Nominations will thus be held on the 20th and elections on the 24th of April. Phils Meet Santa Clara Two Santa Clara debaters, Roger Garety and Don Driscoll, journeyed to the Hilltop last Monday evening to uphold the resolution that the United States and Great Britain Should Guarantee the Future Peace. Attacking the issue, University of San Francisco Philhistorians Harry Aguirre and Ed Boessenecker replied that such a piece of force would not be a peace at all. Moe 9 Harry, Al—Raid Campus Paramount Studio's three wacky mad-caps, Harry, Al, and Moe Ritz, stars of numerous Broadway productions and roadshows, will invade the Don campus today to stage the second all-star Victory Bond Rally scheduled for the noon-hour in the Little Theatre. Hollywood's top-notch "screwballs", long-noted for their offscreen antics have appeared at numerous benefits to aid sales of Victory Bonds and will stage today's show in conjunction with the Foghorn's "Buy Jeeps" campaign. The bell for the end of the 11:00 a. in. class will be sounded at 11:45 and the rally will start at approximately 11:50 a. m. as soon as everyone is seated. The Ritz Brothers are currently at the Golden Gate Theatre Hollywood Stars Run Riot Consternation and hilarity will take over the Auditorium at 11:45 today when the three Ritz Brothers swarm over the Hilltop in the second Victory Rally in the Foghorn "Buy Jeeps" campaign. Hollywood's gift to hysterics will become Uncle Sam's Minute Men for three-quarters of an hour, to boost the campus sale of Bonds and Stamps beyond the tremendous total that it reached during the week. OWN SHOW The Ritz Brothers will put on their own show. What that means could not be determined early in the week, but the rally committee, hearing rumors from downtown San Francisco and Hollywood, have stripped the Auditorium stage and are prepared for any eventuality. The comedians were secured through the cooperation of Mr. James Campbell, Publicity Director for James Smyth, Northern California Administrator for Victory Bond and Stamp sales. Smyth's office has been especially cooperative in support of the "Buy Jeeps" drive, having already secured artists from the Horace Heidt troupe, currently touring the country as "Minute Men and Maids." SALE DOUBLE Huge bond sales from the Saint Ive's Law Club boosted the "Jeep" total to $8,670.40 this week, making possible the purchase of no less than seventeen combat cars for the United States Army. The total was more than doubled in one week, with only two clubs still to show any returns on their original quotas, and practically all other campus oragnizations well on their way to doubling their original allotments. Plans for dedicating the Jeeps, bought by the campus drive were given a temporary set-back late this week by the Fourth Army's announcement that no military equipment will be displayed in Army Day parades or celebrations. Negotiations, however, were still pending (Continued on Page 4) BUY JEEPSI Prof. Gorman Writes Paper FIVE YEARS* WORK ON TIN AND COMPOUNDS KLS HEARS THEORIES OF MODERN AUTHORS "The Modern Short Story" was the subject of the lecture delivered by Edward Dermott Doyle, Evening Division instructor and CHRONICLE critic, at the last meeting of Kappa Lambda Sigma held Friday, March 20 in the Semeria Room. "My first appreciation of the value of the short story as a literary subject came with the reading of Stephen Benet's 'The Devil and Daniel Webster' " Doyle declared. He listed Maupassant and Chekhov as the two great masters of the modern short story, but recom mended Somerset Maugham as the best model for the study* of the short story as a literary type. Professor Doyle emphasized the impossibility of securing a ready definition of the short story, pointing for illustration to such outstanding contemporary authors as Steinbeck, Saroyan and Heming way. Touching on the present status of the short story, Doyle pointed out that the war will probably bring about a tendency to "romantic" and "escapist" stories and that the great war tales will probably come after the war is over. Another scientific paper from the Chemistry Department has just been published in the March issue of the Journal of the American Chemical Society. The author is Professor Melvin Gorman, whose research specialty is the field of inorganic chemistry, particularly the study of tin compounds dissolved in water and acids. The subject of the present article, "Solubility of Stannous Oxide in Perchloric Acid," marks Mr. Gorman's second contribution to this little-explored field, the first having been published in the same journal two years ago. "Although tin and its compounds have been known to chemists for a long time, very little is known of the nature of the solutions formed when placed in water," Mr. Gorman said. "The results of this latest work comprise the second completed step in a research program which will extend over five years, with the purpose of elucidating this subject as completely as possible." Since part of this experimentation was performed at Stanford, the article is listed as a joint publication from Stanford and USF. The Journal of the American Chemical Society is the official publication of the largest body of scientists in the world, and represents the highest standards of technical articles.

Smyth's office has been especially cooperative in support of the "Buy Jeeps" drive, having already secured artists from the Horace Heidt troupe, currently touring the country as "Minute Men and Maids." SALE DOUBLE Huge bond sales from the Saint Ive's Law Club boosted the "Jeep" total to $8,670.40 this week, making possible the purchase of no less than seventeen combat cars for the United States Army. The total was more than doubled in one week, with only two clubs still to show any returns on their original quotas, and practically all other campus oragnizations well on their way to doubling their original allotments. Plans for dedicating the Jeeps, bought by the campus drive were given a temporary set-back late this week by the Fourth Army's announcement that no military equipment will be displayed in Army Day parades or celebrations. Negotiations, however, were still pending (Continued on Page 4) BUY JEEPSI Prof. Gorman Writes Paper FIVE YEARS* WORK ON TIN AND COMPOUNDS KLS HEARS THEORIES OF MODERN AUTHORS "The Modern Short Story" was the subject of the lecture delivered by Edward Dermott Doyle, Evening Division instructor and CHRONICLE critic, at the last meeting of Kappa Lambda Sigma held Friday, March 20 in the Semeria Room. "My first appreciation of the value of the short story as a literary subject came with the reading of Stephen Benet's 'The Devil and Daniel Webster' " Doyle declared. He listed Maupassant and Chekhov as the two great masters of the modern short story, but recom mended Somerset Maugham as the best model for the study* of the short story as a literary type. Professor Doyle emphasized the impossibility of securing a ready definition of the short story, pointing for illustration to such outstanding contemporary authors as Steinbeck, Saroyan and Heming way. Touching on the present status of the short story, Doyle pointed out that the war will probably bring about a tendency to "romantic" and "escapist" stories and that the great war tales will probably come after the war is over. Another scientific paper from the Chemistry Department has just been published in the March issue of the Journal of the American Chemical Society. The author is Professor Melvin Gorman, whose research specialty is the field of inorganic chemistry, particularly the study of tin compounds dissolved in water and acids. The subject of the present article, "Solubility of Stannous Oxide in Perchloric Acid," marks Mr. Gorman's second contribution to this little-explored field, the first having been published in the same journal two years ago. "Although tin and its compounds have been known to chemists for a long time, very little is known of the nature of the solutions formed when placed in water," Mr. Gorman said. "The results of this latest work comprise the second completed step in a research program which will extend over five years, with the purpose of elucidating this subject as completely as possible." Since part of this experimentation was performed at Stanford, the article is listed as a joint publication from Stanford and USF. The Journal of the American Chemical Society is the official publication of the largest body of scientists in the world, and represents the highest standards of technical articles. |
