Jfranxteco Jfogfjorn OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE ASSOCIATED STUDENTS UNIVERSITY OF SAN FRANCISCO Vol. 31 No. 1 SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, OCTOBER 31, 1945 Wednesday Clipper Smith Is New Head Coach! Ex-Sanfa Clara Mentor Hired To Start Don Francisco on New Era <♦>- With the signing of Maurice^ "Clipper" Smith as head coach by the Board of Athletic Control, the Dons return to football, ,no longer as a second-rate team, but now as a major gridiron power. Succeeding Al Tassi, "Clipper" is the first "Big-League" coach to come to the Hilltop. The task facing the new head-coach is a difficult one. It will be his job to form a team from a school that has not seen intercollegiate football since the poorly manned 1942 squad closed its season. When "Clipper" returns from the East in December, his work will be cut out for him; but if he upholds the splendid record he has established in twenty-four years of coaching, U.S.F. will be THE team of the Pacific Coast. Back in the early '30's, when at Santa Clara, Westerners were delighted with the color and class of his Bronco Elevens. When he left Santa Clara in 1935 to go to Villa- nova, Pacific Coast football lost a great coach and individual. While at Villanova, however, he upheld his high record. Against such teams as Temple, Boston College, Duquesne, Penn State, Texas A & M, his Villanova squad won 29, lost 4, and tied 3. In 1942-43 his record was not so impressive, since he was working with teen-agers only. He enlisted in the Marines in 1943, when 25 of his gridders did likewise, and he rose to the rank of Captain. X ■I- X X REGISTRATION INCREASES NEW REGISTRATION Signs of normalcy have begun to appear on the hilltop with an increased enrollment for the fall semester. Up to October 18, 218 students have enrolled in the day school and 138 in the evening division. These figures are compared with the day school enrollment of 131 for the preceding semester show an increase of about 65 percent. The end of the war and the resulting discharge of men from the service has been one of the prime factors in enlarging the student body. At the present time 95 veterans are attending classes under the GI Bill of Rights. Execs Rule On Frosh On Friday, October 19, the first meeting of the University of San Francisco was held and ended in a lengthy hour and a half session in which all the policies for the year were outlined. The Frosh regulations are coming back in all their full fury by vote of the Council. The Frosh will be compelled to wear Green & Gold hats during their first year of higher education and will be required to enter the building through the lounge entrance commencing Monday, October 29. Plans for the Soph Drag were completed, the Board of Student Control was organized with Bill McDonnell as its Chairman while Bob Mclnnis, Ray Schwab and Bob Rezan also ascended in membership. The next meeting is today at 12:00 sharp in the Semeria Room C6. DONS TRIP TO DANCES DOMINICAN DANCES Social activities at the Hilltop got off to a quick start this scholastic year when Dominican College of San Rafael played host to the USF Dons on Friday evening October 12 from the hours of eight to twelve, at the Fanjou Hall of Dominican College. With transportation problems and gas shortages a thing of the past, the familiar pre-war line of automobiles appeared on the premises of the college and a large representation from the Dons was evident. Together with guests from the University of Santa Clara, Saint Mary's College, plus the representatives of the Army from Hamilton Field and the Navy from another nearby base, the male attendance was larger than anticipated. Through some mixup in date the orchestra schheduled to play for the dance was unable to appear, but a fine variety of records, featuring rhumbas, congas, tangos, sambas, and slow numbers, substituted to the enjoyment of the present terpsichoreans. Last Friday evening, October 19, the Junior Class of Dominican College entertained upper classmen of USF at an informal dance at Fanjou Hall. To the satisfaction of all present, the crowd at the dance was much smaller than the previous week, and hence more conducive to dancing. Soph Drag Is On Next Saturday Support 2nd Year Dance At G.H.C.C. Ushering in the new era ol post-war social activities in the University's revamped social schedule, the annual "Soph Drag," wreathed in the laurels of past traditions and memories, will return in full color and revelry this year. In an exclusive interview with Sophomore Prexy Dick Raffetto and Lou Dito, vice president of the student body, this reporter obtained the following details: DICK RAFFETTO The date of the colossal extravaganza has been set for Saturday, November 3, 1945. The site which will be honored by the presence of U. S. F.'ers is the spacious Green Hills Country Club, nestled among the gentle, rolling hills of Millbrae. Directions will be furnished by Mr. Raffetto or Mr. Dito. If you can't contact either of these two, it is situated four miles south of Millbrae, just off the "El Camino Real." So there you have a date and a place, but what is a dance without an orchestra? Those engaged in Terpsichorean art (dancing to the illiterate) will sway to the scintillating music of Art. Wiedner and his 10-piece orchestra. Dancing will be from 9 until 12. Incidentally, don't let the title "Soph Drag" discourage you. Any student can attend, or if you know of any desiring friends of college age, give them the privilege of coming with you. So—spot your tux or sport your suit, It really doesn't matter, But if you're like the rest of us, Then you'll prefer the latter. Then come one, come all! Help put over the first of many successful dances. Support the "Soph Drag." (Continued on Page 3) RETREAT CONCLUDED "Whaddya mean, no classes?" "Oh yeah, we're checking up today aren't we?" Yes, there was a checking up— a sort of vacation's end inventory or an annual clearance, but of the soul. For some, there was a look back over several years activities, outside of the United States and its relation to more normalized living. For once each year, USF (and the 24 other Jesuit American Universities) takes three days from strictly academic classes to review "fundamental and eternal verities" of living. The Catholic students follow a set religious program called a retreat. Non-Catholic students attend a series of non-sectarian, religious lectures by faculty and guest speakers. Non-Catholics are also free to attend Catholic exercises. The Catholic exercises this year were under the able direction of Fr. James McCann S.J. of Loyola University while Fr. Raymond T. Feely S.J., Dean of Faculties was in charge of the Non-Catholic exercises. RO. STARTS NEW YEAR USF has the largest ROTC unit in the last three years, Major Whittaker announced yesterday. The commanding officers of the unit are Lieutenant O'Brien and First Sergeant Sullivan. The acting corporals are Farbstein, Allen, De Martini, Slavich, Kilday, and Petrini. Permanent corporals will be appointed in the future. They will be chosen according to best leadership and scholarship. Major Whittaker said that rifles will be issued to the unit soon, but not until the drilling is satisfactory. There will also be a rifle team this term under the direction of Sergeant Worley. Anyone who is interested is urged to sign up immediately. Twenty or thirty men are needed. If enough candidates sign up there will be a large schedule of competition. Inter-squad contests, matches with civilian teams, entrance in the Hearst matches, and also intercollegiate competition has been planned. The advanced ROTC course will also be reinstated in February. Men who enter the advanced course, on graduation, will be commissioned as Second Lieutenants in the Coast Artillery Officers Reserve. USF SODALITY STARTS ROAD BACK TO FAME With the advent of peace and the influx of new students, the Sodality of the University of San Francisco is reorganizing and redeveloping along traditional lines. The promises of a revitalized and spirited organization is not only possible but forthcoming. A Sodality Roster is being compiled and a number of activities have been planned to meet the need of an increased student body for the coming year. A meeting will be held early next week and all officers and committees will be appointed at that time. An Inner Council consisting of charter members has already been appointed to guide the proceedings of' the coming term. These members are as follows: Ray Schwab, Mario Pezzola, Bob Coleman, Dick Raffetto, Ray O'Brien, Bill Mc Donnell, John O'Brien, Lou Dito, Ken Bertken, Bob Mclnnis, Jules Levaggi, Gene Brusatori, Jim De Martini, Bob Neumayer, Bob Jones, Don Farbstein, Jim Donohue, Al Aubert, Frank Schwab, Joe Vevoda, Jerry Kilday, Bob Sullivan, Bruce McGuire and John Ward. Besides the usual spiritual activity of a monthly Communion breakfast many cultural, social and athletic activities will be inaugurated. With the increased membership of the Sodality it is hoped that various Sodality teams may be able to compete in intramural sports with other college clubs. The first team formed would be one for the basketball season. Sodality teams have been very prominent in the past and have contributed a great deal to intramural progress. An Apostolic will take over its past job of organizing Communion Breakfasts as they have been noted in the past for the fine presentations of guest speakers and student orators. The Cultural Committee has been one of the outstanding groups of the University and has done much for furthering the appreciation of art and music. This group will again obtain its reserved box in the Opera House in the near future. A special feature of the Sodality in the past has been the publication of its own newspaper to acquaint the student body with its activities. This paper will be revived as soon as possible and along with the FOGHORN will aid in developing student spirit. Any member of the student body interested in the Sodality and its function should contact Fr. James J. Lyons, S.J., Faculty Moderator.
