200 expected
at education
conference
University to host
meet in conjunction
with Teachers Group
Over 200 teachers are expected
to attend an education conference
hosted by the USF Education Club.
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. Ap-
proximatery~40;OOO copies will be-
distributed throughout the state
each month.

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."

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."

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

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.

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

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."

By KEVIN STARR
FOGHORN  Staff Writer
Governor-elect Edmund G. "Pat" Brown will deliver the
keynote speech for the November 30th dedication of USF's
gym, ASUSF student body president, Bob Ferrera, announced
yesterday.
Brown's visit to the campus will
inaugurate Gym Dedication Week,
which will start November 30th
and end December 7th. Plans for
the week have just been released
by Ferrera.
On November 30th the civic and
religious dedication of the ultramodern gym will take place. Rev.
John F. X. Connolly, S.J., University president, Rev. Charles Dullea,
S.J., University Rector, and USF
chaplain Rev. William Ryan, S.J.,
will officiate at the religious
blessing.
These Jesuit Fathers will also
dedicate a set of bronze placques,
upon which will be listed the USF's
alumni who have died in World
War II and in Korea.
For the civic dedication, Gover
nor-elect Brown, Mayor George
Christopher, and other civic dignitaries will speak. Fr. Connolly
will represent the University on
the rostrum, and coach Phil Wool
pert will also address the rally.
Ferrera will be the master of cere
monies. A lowering of the baskets
will signify that the Gym is offi
cially open. Ferrera urged all the
students to attend this function
and "to remain for the. refreshments which will be served after
the ceremonies."
On December 3rd the gym will
be the scene of a studentbody
giant    rally.    Name    star    Gogi
Grant will head the large list of
professional entertainers.
USF meets Seattle December
fourth for the first game on the
home court. Prior to the game,

top collegiate talent from the Bay
Area.

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."

DuRard begs student talent
for campus Variety Show

the All-College variety show committee said yesterday.
In issuing a plea for "talent
of all kinds," DuRard stated that

more acts from other colleges
than from USF. This is poor,
it's not what we want," he said.

every year with practically exclu
sively Santa Clara talent. "It's a
shame we can't do the same here,"
he said.

enough acts together to have a
show."
