COOPERATION OF ALL
NEEDED SAYS DITO
The second meeting- of the
Catholic Intercollegiate
Council, held last week at
Holy Names' College in Oakland, produced much in the
way of reorganization of the
CIC, Student Body President
Louis Dito announced this
week. Accompanying Dito to
the conclave were Father
Paul Harney, S.J., vice-prexy
Jack Durkin, and Junior
Class President Guido Saveri.
The next meeting is slated
for one week from tomorrow,
March 7, at San Francisco
College for Women. To this
meeting all the presidents of
the various clubs in all the
member colleges have been
invited.
"This," said Dito, "has a definite purpose. The CIC intends to
find out just what clubs each
college is sponsoring, so as to
coordinate all the activities under
one heading.
"Take for instance the English
Club. A meeting time and place
would be arranged on one of the
university campuses at which
time all the English clubs would
meet. Some program will be followed, maybe a paper presented.
This will allow the students of
all the colleges to get better acquainted with each other.
LAYING FOUNDATION
Dito emphasized that the main
purpose of the CIC for the year
would be in laying the foundation
for the following terms. "We intend to lay the cornerstone,"
stated Dito.
At the last meeting:, several
plans and proposals were passed,
some introduced by the Hilltop
representatives. One" of these
was the Appropriation Bill which
has each university contributing
expenses to the organization with
the remaining fund evenly divided at the end of the semester.
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. In fact, most
of the representatives agreed
that not until the fall term, at
the earliest, would there be any
kind of social activity.
Universities which participated
included: San Francisco College
for Women, Santa Clara University, St. Mary's College, Dominican College, Holy Names College, and the University of San
Francisco.
COACHES GREETED BY FACULTY
Father James J. Lyons, S.J., is shown welcoming Maurice "Clipper" Smith, Head Football

With registration ended, student enrollment for the spring
semester has been completed.
Faculty additions, however, continue to be made.
Six more professors have join

Hilltop padre, has returned to the
campus and again offers his services to the USASF through the

Parked Auditorium Hears
f Clipper,' Newell Speak
Amid the student roar, chatter, and Santa Anita music,
the University of San Francisco's first assembly of the
spring term was held last week.
Student Body prexy, Dito, gave a short inspiring, introductory talk concerning the school's coming term. He went
on to say that it is the duty of each and everyone of the
student body to see that this term be successful. After
introducing the student officers, Jack Durkin, student body
vice-president, took over as master of ceremonies.
Durkin introduced Pete Newell,
newly appointed baseball coach
of the Dons, who gave a short
talk. Newell said that he was
duly gratified by the school's fine
backing of baseball, particularly
noticeable by the large amount
of men already turning out for
the sport. He is highly pleased
with his material and their great
show of enthusiasm.
On the subject of Intramural
sports, which is also his charge,
Newell said, "I hope that any
student who finds it impossible
to engage in a varsity sport will
make an honest effort in the
Intramural  program."
He pointed out that softball
and basketball were already established and ho hoped to add,
in the near future, badminton and
volleyball. "These intramurals
are not only body builders, but
perhaps, will prove a great future
strength  to  tho  varsity teams."
In absence of basketball coach
Tiny Bussenius, tho team star,
John Desmond introduced tho
basketball team individually.
The next speaker was President William Dunno, S.J.. who
spoke solemnly to the audience
about   the   University   of   San
Francisco's purpose. Fr. Dunne
said, "This university strives to
give each and every student a
well-rounded education. That
means an education which touches the mind; heart, and will."
The president expressed his
firm belief in sports and activities, but he said, "You will find
that the sport and activities'
heads are all men who realize
that studies are primary and foremost."
CALL ME CLIPPER
Another point Father emphasized the importance of maintaining a college man's attittude at
all times. "I know this only applies to a few, but let us get over
being high school students, and
keep always in mind that we are
college men and gentlemen."
Following Father Dunne was
Athletic Director Jimmy Needles,
who spoke a few words of introduction to the new students and
concluded with: "I hope you will
give tho cooperation to those new
members of the athletic board
that you have given to me."
Tho final speaker of the day
was   Coach   Clipper   Smith,   and

completed its firing in the Hearst
R.O.T.C. Rifle Matches and in
the Ninth Service Command Intercollegiate matches. The scores

Quarterly Staff
Decides {fe The
Policy For Term
In an important meeting on
Monday of this week the policy
which is to govern the publication of the University's literary
magazine, the Quarterly was decided upon by the magazine editorial board in charge of publication.
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

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.)
