In this way each college would be equally liable for all expenses. There will be no formal dance this term as in 1943, the last year of the CIC's reign.

Already this term the team has completed its firing in the Hearst R.O.T.C. Rifle Matches and in the Ninth Service Command Intercollegiate matches.

Again, as in the past years, the team is entered in the San Francisco Rifle Association, class C competition. Today the team will engage in a match with the San Francisco Marine Corps team. From the records made by both teams it is evident that the match will be a close one; however, the group representing the university expressed confidence in their ability. The students in the R.O.T.C. comprising the rifle team are: Frank Allen, Vic Campilongo, Jim DeMartini, Lee E c k e r t, John O'Brien, J. Mansinnie, Russell Moon, J. Hoffmeir, Bert Quinn, Mitchel, Bob Jones, Tom Ryan, and Love.

The editors, Rinaldo Carmazzi and Don Farbstein, together with the faculty moderator, Father James Lyons, S.J., announced that only work of the highest merit would be considered for publication in the magazine. "The high standard of the Quarterly," said the editors, "must not be lowered because of the lack of contributions. It is time for the magazine, along with the rest of the school, to return to the high standards which were set before the war. The Quarterly must set the pace for the literary minded of the University." CONTRIBUTION PLEA RENEWED Together with this announcement of return to pre-war policy, Carmazzi and Farbstein renewed their invitation to those who feel they would like to contribute to the Quarterly to do so, as there is at the present a shortage of contributions in several types of literature. Those who write suitable poetry, short stories, and radio plays are urged to send in their contributions to the editors. Contributions to the Quarterly may be left vvith either of the editors, Carmazzi or Farbstein, or with Fr. Lyons. Any further information concerning contributions to the magazine may be obtained by contacting Fr. Lyons... NEW FACULTY ROOM The University faculty room, formerly on the main floor with the other administrative offices now moves up to thc second floor into room C3. The shifting of tho faculty room was necessitated by the increases to the teaching faculty staff. PLAN TO BUY POSTER Ken Boero will name his committee for sponsoring a membership drive among the student veterans in order that all may participate in the Society's activities. Boero added that while membership is rising, he is not entirely satisfied and will intensify his efforts to build a larger and stronger Omicron Epsilon. The Veterans' Club is planning to buy a poster or banner to be displayed on meeting days to publicize the meeting place and time of the organization. The academic committee headed by Jack Durkin will announce regular hours each week to meet with veterans and members who may find a need for advice of this committee. SPEAKER AT MEETINGS Prexy Crisafulli plans to have a prominent speaker for each regular meeting and announces that one night meeting will be held each month when only necessary business will be discussed and refreshments and entertainment will hold sway. The formal installation of officers and welcome to new members will take place at the first evening meeting to be held late in March. All veterans, whether they are members or not, are welcome to attend meetings and socials given by the society, with Crisafulli extending a special invitation to all veterans to attend meetings and take an active part. Durkin and Maurice Evans of the Executive Board have been in contact with Washington. D. C, .in an effort to secure a building suitable for a club house and recreation room for members' use, and while they are still without definite information as to the outcome of their qdest, they arc pursuing every opportunity to bring bigger and better things to the Vet Club. HUBBA HUBBA DEPARTMENT All Collegiate editors, west of the Rocky Mountains, blanched last week when they read the Foghorn. Robert "Believe It Or Not" Ripley sat in stunned silence. For the Foghorn is now the only Catholic newspaper on the West Coast to appear WEEKLY in 8, (count 'em 8,) columns. If you don't believe us, drop in the office and borrow a ruler and measure it for yourself. Fie on the cynic who said— so what! Foghorn Reporter Canvasses The Clubs Of The University By DANNY O'BRIEN It will be a surprise, no doubt, to many of the men who recently returned to the hilltop to discover that some of their old clubs are still functioning, and that most of the others intend to reorganize and begin operating in the near future. Among those organizations that managed to keep going despite the war or who have already opened their doors to the student body are the Wasmann Club, Maraschi Club, the Sodality and the Kappa Alphi Pi. SODALITY RESUMING ACTIVITIES Tho Sodality under tho loader- ship of Prefect Dick Raffetto will soon be opening its ranks to new membership and will resume its activities on a full scale program. Guido Saveri, President of the Maraschi's intends to announce a meeting in the near future for the purpose of gathering all students of Italian descent under the banner of the Maraschi's. The Wasmann Society, Campus Biological group, with Ed Quinnell at the helm has already scheduled several activities and intends to receive new members immediately. Omicron Epsilon, the new veterans organization started last term, has come into prominence as one of the leading university organizations. W i t h more and more veterans enrolling on the Hilltop every day, its possibilities are unlimited. A program of both numerous school and social functions, coupled with a considerable plan for the welfare of its members, make membership in the veteran's club very desireable to those eligible. Other campus societies, either defunct or dormant, but which will probably soon be revived by the return of former members are: The National Jesuit Scholastic Society, Sigma Alpha Nu, The St. Ives Law Club, The Gavel, Block Club, and the Clana Eire- anna, campus Irish society, which is already beginning to show signs of life. Campus organizations play a very definite part in the life of the University. They are the real backbone of the Intra-mural Sports Program, and add much to the social activities around the campus. There is a place for every member of the student- body in those clubs, and a chance for each to play a real role in tho University. (Ed. Note: Next week O'Brien will discuss the Wassman Society, its beginnigs and traditions.)

The Wasmann Society, Campus Biological group, with Ed Quinnell at the helm has already scheduled several activities and intends to receive new members immediately. Omicron Epsilon, the new veterans organization started last term, has come into prominence as one of the leading university organizations. W i t h more and more veterans enrolling on the Hilltop every day, its possibilities are unlimited. A program of both numerous school and social functions, coupled with a considerable plan for the welfare of its members, make membership in the veteran's club very desireable to those eligible. Other campus societies, either defunct or dormant, but which will probably soon be revived by the return of former members are: The National Jesuit Scholastic Society, Sigma Alpha Nu, The St. Ives Law Club, The Gavel, Block Club, and the Clana Eire- anna, campus Irish society, which is already beginning to show signs of life. Campus organizations play a very definite part in the life of the University. They are the real backbone of the Intra-mural Sports Program, and add much to the social activities around the campus. There is a place for every member of the student- body in those clubs, and a chance for each to play a real role in tho University. (Ed. Note: Next week O'Brien will discuss the Wassman Society, its beginnigs and traditions.) |
