The educators will meet on Saturday, Nov. 15, on campus. Pat King, President of the Education Club, announced that most of the university and junior colleges in the Bay Area and the surrounding communities who have education departments will meet on the Hilltop to discuss teaching problems in modern education today. The conference is co-sponsored by the California State Teachers Association. Dr. John R. Devine, the moderator of the Education Club, stated that one of the main topics to be discussed will be "The Teacher and Society." "Leading educators from California will look into the various aspects of a teacher's position in his community today and the implications derived from his conduct," King said. Some of the other topics to be discussed are: "The teaching of moral and spiritual values in public schools," "The teacher and- professional ethics," and "Acquisition of qualified teachers." "USF has been nominated as host because of the school's increased recognition in public education and in the training of public school teachers,. The Education Department began in 1948 with only 22 students and since that time 467 students have been issued teaching credentials. Today there are 124 students enrolled in USF's Education Department," Dr. E. J. Griffin, chairman of the Department said. In conjunction with the conference, the Education Club will publish the California State Teachers Association Newsletter.

India student here cites rare flicker showing "India is the second largest motion picture producing nation in the world," Jay Singh, a USF student who is a native of India, said yesterday. Singh is the son of the Consul General of the Indian Embassy in San Francisco. "Japan ranks first in the movie industry's annual production, while the United States takes third place," he said. Aparajito is this year's offering of India in the San Francisco International Film Festival. Its showing is being sponsored by the ASUSF. Last year's presentation Pather Panchalli, won the first prize, the Golden Gate award. Ap- parajito has already been awarded the first prize in Venice film festival this summer. 'It is very seldom that Indian films are shown in this country and it is wonderful to know that it is being sponsored by my Univer- versity," Singh said. "I certainly was proud to see the flag of my country flying from the roof of the Liberal Arts Building," he added. "I am also happy to see such interest and enthusiasm concerning India Week on the part of USF students." BOB FERRERA Indian flag is stolen The Indian flag which flew over the Liberal Arts Building was stolen last weekend. Adding to the series of thefts that has plagued the USF campus in the past few weeks was the theft of the Indian national flag which the Special Events Committee was using as part of the India Week display. The theft occured some time after Friday night. 'Providing it is returned," he added, "I plan to hang it only half way up this time. It seems only fit ting that it, along with everything else around this campus, should be half-mast." movie USF Festival entry stirs promotion Wagon Oval theme for Soph Drag Western motif includes beard growing contest The sophomores will hold their annual drag at Bermuda Palms— again. The theme of this year's Soph Drag will be "Wagon Wheels." The date has been set for Friday night, November 21. "It's the only casual dance of the year," Mike McCabe, dance chairman, said. Dress will be jeans and sport shirts for the men and cotton or summer dresses for the women. Sal Carson will provide the music. "Let me stress that the music will not be western, but regular dance band music," McCade said. The dance is designed to give students an, opportunity to relax after mid-terms. Bids are $2.50. In conjunction with "Wagon Wheels," the sophomore class will sponsor a "Whisker Reno" or beard growing contest. Permission has been secured from the Administration and from the Military Department for the contest. All students capable of raising a noticeable growth are eligible. Those taking ROTC may drill out of uniform on Tuesday the 11 and 18. Drill will still be compulsory regardless of tonsorial status. Prizes will be awarded at the dance for the best growth and for originality. Freshmen and sophomores in ROTC have to contact i'Tth'(g Military Department before being allowed to attend drill out of uniform, McCabe said. 'Leper' out: Nun leading only U. S. leper colony speaks here By ED CHOW FOGHORN Staff Writer "Don't use the word 'leper'. That's out! We use the term 'Leprosy'." Sister Hilary Ross, a Daughter of Charity nun made the above statement in a speech on campus last week. Sister Hilary is head of the Clinical Laboratory at Carville, Louisiana, the only Lep- rology community in continental United States. In her blue and white habit, sparking 63-year- old Sister Hilary addressed an overflow crowd of over 100 interested students and faculty in the Gleeson library lecture room. Her visit to USF was arranged by the University's Department of Biology and the Wassman Biological Society. Sister Hilary, a world-reknowned biochemist and Phi Kappa Phi, was recently honored as the first woman to receive the coveted Damien-Dutton Society Award for her many devoted years on behalf of victims of Leprosy. She has spent 35 years dedicated to research in this field. Enthusiastically speaking about her work, Sister emphasized strongly that the utmost has been done to make the patients at the Carville Lep- rosorium feel at home. "There is nothing at our place that is trash! Our 350 acres institution is a modern Class A hospital with all the equipment necessary to treat the patients not only for Leprosy but as as people." she said. The Louisiana Leprosorium includes accommodations for about 400 people, including a lake, golf course, tennis court, recreation hall, school, and circulating library. Movies are shown three times a week. A resident staff of seven doctors is connected with the institution. The seriouness of Leprosy should not be underestimated. "In foreign countries, it is really an economic thing," remarked Sister. "You really have to give credit to Protestant and Catholic missionaries for their marvelous work in this, field," she said. "There are an estimated 5,000,000 Leprosy cases throughout the world. In the United States, there are about 2000 cases in the endemic areas of Louisiana, Texas, Florida, and Stockton (Calif.)." She added that Leprosy was a disease caused by a bacillus akin to that which causes tuberculosis. Males predominate over females, she remarked, by a count of three to two. The future is not all gloom and doom for patients with Leprosy, however, according to Sister Hilary. "The sulfone group of drugs is the best treatment we have today although it is not a cure-all. If we get a patient in early, there is every reason to believe that the patient should get back into the community in 3 or 4 years," she stated. Sister Hilary is on her way to Japan as a delegate of the United States to the 7th International Conference of Leprology. The conference is staged every five years and gathers together workers in Leprology from all over the world. By HERB WILLIAMSON FOGHORN Assistant City Editor An elephant, a library exhibit, girls wearing caste marks on their foreheads and men adorned with turbans all appeared on campus this week as USF celebrated India Week. "This week was dedicated to the promotion of Aparajito, the film which the Special Events Committee is sponsoring tomorrow in the San Francisco International Film Festival," said SEC chairman Dick Gagliasso. Apajarito won the Grand Award in the Venice Film Festival this summer. The week, which began Monday, was officially proclaimed India Week at last week's meeting of the Student Legislature by Bob Ferrera, ASUSF president. The ticket selling drive initiated immediately after the proclamation by raising the Indian National Flag from the roof of the Liberal Arts Building. Efforts to place the students in an Oriental atmosphere included such novelties as bringing an elephant to campus today, nurses wearing caste marks on their foreheads, and boys displaying turbans on their heads. "An Indian exhibit was placed in the Richard E. Gleeson Library last Friday," Gagliasso said. "It includes articles such as Indian painting and sculpture works, pottery and earthenware, pictures of India as it is today and as it was at the time of Kipling, and various other representations of Indian culture," he explained. The USF students were joined in the Film Festival drive by the San Francisco College for Women. The Lone Mountain girls assisted in selling and distributing the tickets. Fr. Keane named new director of summer session Rev. John Hynes, S.J., previous head of USF summer session, has now been appointed Provincial Curia, in which he will be in charge of all the high schools in the California province. In his place Rev. Joseph Keane, S.J., has been appointed. Fr. Keane said that the summer sessions will be kept in the same high standards which were attained by Fr. Hynes. Many of last summer's professors can be expected to reappear on the campus. "Due to the popular demand of the students, Fr. Hoffing°r, S.J., theological lecturer, has Deen asked to return this summer," Fr. Keane said. OFFICIAL NOTICE Fifth year students in teacher training who will be completing their work either in February or June of this year and who plan to apply to the San Francisco school district for placement as teachers are required to take the National Teacher Examination to be held on February 7, 1959.

Moot Court in action Wednesday, Thursday evening sessions set for lecture room The annual moot court, con ducted by the USF Law School to give interested students practice in court procedures, will convene next week and will continue in operation until December 4th, William Rigger, Assistant Professor of Law announced. "The mot court's purpose is to give valuable practice in legal writing and oral advocacy," Rigger said. Sixty-four USF law students will participate in this event which will be held in the lecture room of Gleeson Library at 7 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday evenings. Mr. Rigger, director of the moot court, said that the court provides "much needed experience." Students prepare an appellate brief and present arguments before three judges under similar conditions found in an appellate court This year four areas of study will be stressed: property, contracts, criminal law and torts. "The moot court is an open affair and anyone interested in legal matters is invited to attend," Rigger said Gridders seek Gator revenge Dons meet S.F. State today in final game of season By TOM MAGUIRE FOGHORN Sports Writer The University of San Francisco Dons will collide with the San Francisco State JVs this afternoon at 2:30 on the Don Athletic Field. The Hilltoppers will be out to revenge the 30-6 dumping by the Gators iin a tilt played on Gator gridiron three weeks the ago. The Dons will be strengthened by the return of quarterback Dave Chapla who was out for over a month after receiving a serious foot injury on the opening play of a Grey Fog-Vigilante' intramural clash last month. Today's clash is the last game of the season for the Dons. In its three past outings, the Dons hold wins over the Treasure Island Pirates and the Cal Aggie JVs while losing to the Gators. Captains Mike Gregor of the Vigilantes, Ed Griffin of the Caballeros, Jim MacDonald of the Grey Fog, and eleven other seniors will see their last grid action at USF. The strong State JV eleven will be sparked by powerful halfback Errol Harris who racked up two tallies against the Hilltoppers in the first tilt and quarterback Nick Alioto whose pin-point passing against the Hilltoppers was the decisive factor in the last meet. In the first Gator tilt the Dons showed far better than the lopsided score indicated as the Green and Gold racked up a total of 153 yards rushing to 101 for the cross- city Gators and 163 net yards to State's 162. USF fumbles and penalties, however, enabled the Gators to rack up score after score. Coach "Sarge" MacKenzie's charges will be sparked by backs Ed Griffin, Jerry Finnigan, Tony Clark, Lyle Graff, Ed DeAntoni, and John McCauley and Tony Smith. The line will be led by Jim McDonald, Mike Gregor, John Hen- nessy, Bill Ferrero, John Strain and John Ahern. The ends will be sparked by Sombrero award winner Bill Cutler, Joe Napier, Bob Roemer and Joe Lagomarsino. Hughes speaks to Catholic alumni Catholic alumni from throughout the Bay Area will hear Phillip Roger Hughes, USF Director of Public Information, describe the 'Current State of Collegiate Pubic Relations' at the Press Club this evening. The Catholic Alumni Club of the Archdiocese of San Francisco invited Hughes to adress them to "improve our understanding of the importance of public relations to our colleges."

"Pat" Brown will deliver the keynote speech for the November 30th dedication of USF's gym, ASUSF student body president, Bob Ferrera, announced yesterday.

On December 6th USF clashes with Cal and on December 7th,' the Loyola Glee Club will give a concert in the gym. 'Big Event' Ferrera pointed out that this dedication is "the big event of the semester" and that it needs stu- rent body support. "USF has w%ited a long time for a gym," Ferrera said, "and finally having one makes a great contribution to the campus." Ferrera said that most of the official activity this semester had been channeled toward gym dedication week. "USF is in a transitional stage," Ferrera observed, "and every step of progress - in our transition should be meaningful to the individual student." Ferrera said that gym dedication week was "no event for the sake of an event."

Moot Court in action Wednesday, Thursday evening sessions set for lecture room The annual moot court, con ducted by the USF Law School to give interested students practice in court procedures, will convene next week and will continue in operation until December 4th, William Rigger, Assistant Professor of Law announced.

Sixty-four USF law students will participate in this event which will be held in the lecture room of Gleeson Library at 7 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday evenings.

"The moot court is an open affair and anyone interested in legal matters is invited to attend," Rigger said Gridders seek Gator revenge Dons meet S.F. State today in final game of season By TOM MAGUIRE FOGHORN Sports Writer The University of San Francisco Dons will collide with the San Francisco State JVs this afternoon at 2:30 on the Don Athletic Field. The Hilltoppers will be out to revenge the 30-6 dumping by the Gators iin a tilt played on Gator gridiron three weeks the ago. The Dons will be strengthened by the return of quarterback Dave Chapla who was out for over a month after receiving a serious foot injury on the opening play of a Grey Fog-Vigilante' intramural clash last month. Today's clash is the last game of the season for the Dons. In its three past outings, the Dons hold wins over the Treasure Island Pirates and the Cal Aggie JVs while losing to the Gators. Captains Mike Gregor of the Vigilantes, Ed Griffin of the Caballeros, Jim MacDonald of the Grey Fog, and eleven other seniors will see their last grid action at USF. The strong State JV eleven will be sparked by powerful halfback Errol Harris who racked up two tallies against the Hilltoppers in the first tilt and quarterback Nick Alioto whose pin-point passing against the Hilltoppers was the decisive factor in the last meet. In the first Gator tilt the Dons showed far better than the lopsided score indicated as the Green and Gold racked up a total of 153 yards rushing to 101 for the cross- city Gators and 163 net yards to State's 162. USF fumbles and penalties, however, enabled the Gators to rack up score after score. Coach "Sarge" MacKenzie's charges will be sparked by backs Ed Griffin, Jerry Finnigan, Tony Clark, Lyle Graff, Ed DeAntoni, and John McCauley and Tony Smith. The line will be led by Jim McDonald, Mike Gregor, John Hen- nessy, Bill Ferrero, John Strain and John Ahern. The ends will be sparked by Sombrero award winner Bill Cutler, Joe Napier, Bob Roemer and Joe Lagomarsino. Hughes speaks to Catholic alumni Catholic alumni from throughout the Bay Area will hear Phillip Roger Hughes, USF Director of Public Information, describe the 'Current State of Collegiate Pubic Relations' at the Press Club this evening.
