              Win-Lose-Or-Draw-We'll Meet You Under The Ferry Building Clock
Don't let them ever tell you that the spirit of the Dons
isn't what it used to be.
It isn't something you can touch or see—but it's there.
In one of the daily papers last week thc following
statement by Clipper Smith was printed.
"Say, wasn't that a swell send-off the students gave
our men last night at the Ferry Building. I really didn't
expect it and neither did the players. We had lost two
games in a row, and if only a handful of students had,
bothered to come downtown, I could have understood
their disappointment.
''But, holy smoke, hundreds of boys and girls turned
out, and part of the band. The players certainly were
impressed. And grateful, too. If we don't beat Missis
sippi Stale on Saturday it won't be for lack of spirit and,
encouragement. I want the University of San Francisco students bach- home to know the players and myself appreciate their presence on the ferry boat and at
the Oakland mole, (heir songs and cheers and, music.
Believe me, it all helps!"
Those fighting Dons are coming back tomorrow
■morning.
Yeah, we knot:'—it'll be cold and, that bed is so tvarm
in the morning-but we're, all going down to that Ferry
Building at 7:50 a.m. and give those guys a welcome
home that will make their sendoff look like a boy beating a broken drum.
We don't want them to say there were hundreds of
Don students at the depot.
TWO THOUSAND GUYS GO TO THIS SCHOOL.
There should be thousands down there tomorrow
morning.
And don't 'worry about those classes—you'll hare
plenty of time to mala thi m. When the learn gels home,
there will be a ear parade with police escort up Market
Street—to let the early risers know that the Fighting
Dons are back in town.
>   And that reception goes—WIN OR LOSE.
We read in the papers thai the people of Boston didn't
bother to have a reception when they found out the
lied, Sox lost the World, Series.
Up here on the hill—we're going down and meet
those guys whether we win a smashing victory or get
smeared all oner the green grass of Memphis.
Wherever you go in the days following your college
you'll find Dons. They're ihe guys that are getting
ahead in the world of owes, because they have that spirit
that never dies.
In the cold grey dawn—tomorrow morning—we'll see
you under the Ferry Building clock—bring your cow
bells—your noise -makers—the band will be 1h< re to
warm up the chilly morning with hot music—and we'll
sing the Don victory song. . . .
AND THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY BY THE
GATE WILL KNOW THAT THE DON SPIRIT WILL
NEVER  DIE.

By THE EDITOR
Extra-curricular and social
activities are a necessary part
of everyone's collegiate life.
This is admitted by all University heads. The Activities
Committee of the ASUSF has
lined up one of the most ambitious social calendars of all
time while the extra-curricular program for all organizations has been well developed.
Dances, receptions, intramurals are all well and good and
will be of immense benefit to
those participating. But these
events will not embrace all of the
students at the same time. The
affairs are restricted a first come
first served basis.
However, there is one thing
lacking here at the Hilltop. The
thing needed is some kind of program which will not only be
available to all, but which will
bear the greatest fruit. This
mass participation activity we
are talking about would be effected by some kind of drive or
campaign.
Each class and club in the college should have some definite
part in the project. Perhaps it is
too soon for individual classes
and clubs to sponsor some sort
of venture, but certainly the
school can afford to initiate some
kind of drive. This project will
have many advantages and will
be a natural complement to the
social and extra-curricular efforts
of the students.
Probably the most famous recent undertaking of the Hilltop
was the campaign to purchase a
jeep with saving stamps in February, 1942. Originally, plans
called for tho acquirement of
one jeep, but the students responded so magnificently that
three jeeps were in the offing.
But the final week of the drive
saw such a large flurry of stamp
purchases that the total number
of jeeps soared to the unheard
number of 20 — that's right —
twenty  jeeps.
Who can forget that thrill
which overswept the assembled
students on a cold morning in
March when Mal McCarthy shouted into the microphone: "Here
they come, men, the jeeps which
your bonds bought. All 20 of
them purchased by you, the students of the Hilltop."
As his words echoed the length
of the ROTC parade ground, the
jeeps roared across the field in
battle formation. It was a sight
that became indelibly stamped
in the minds of the students who
had participated in the the "Buy
a Jeep Campaign."
The success of the scheme had
been largely due to the interest
shown by all the organizations
of the college. When the total
sales had been added, it was the
St. Ives Law Club, one of the
Hilltop's most esteemed societies,
which led the way, followed closely by the Wassman Society.
This is further proof of what cooperation   can  obtain.
Not only had the war effort
been enhanced by the sacrifices
of hundreds of Dons, but the Hilltop was to receive national publicity, recognition on a level
which had hardly been attained
by its gTeatest athletic teams.
All the local papers followed up
the story, and people in the Bay
area suddenly realized that there
. was a college here which stood
for much more than the usual
college  rah-rah  spirit.
Prior to the jeep enterprise,
U.S.F. had . undertaken other
projects, many of which went un-
publicized. Three separate trips
were maac to the blood bank in
the Spring of 1942 when blood
plasma was (as it still is) urgently n e cdctl for the armed
forces.
Warren White, the guiding genius of tli e movement, so capably handla.l this venture that reg
ular bus service was instituted
between the campus and the
blood banfc. Oxer 80 per cent of
the students donated their bload,
many for the second and third
times.
Argum ?uts may arise that
these  plans  weie  perfectly justi-

CONSTITUTIONAL
CHANGE URGED
BY EXEC COUNCS
Amendment Would
Up Board Of Student
Control Membership
By a unanimous vote, the
Executive Council of the University of San Francisco accepted the proposal of the
Board of Student Control for
an amendment to the Constitution at their second meeting
of the semester in the Semeria room last Friday.
The amendment would be
known as Article XIX and says
the B.S.C. shall be supplemented
by two additional members with
a class standing of sophomore or
higher. This would increase the
membership to a total of six.
In addition, a sub-committee
of the B.S.C. shall be formed.
This would include 12 members
with the same policing powers
as the regular members, but
would not hold the judicial status
of the regular members. The
committee would be chosen by
the B.S.C. head at the beginning
of the fall semester.
RALLY REPORT GIVEN
Student Body Prexy Dan
O'Brien started the wheels in motion while the actual work will
be begun by Don Farbstein, ASUSF secretary. The amendment
will be put in the form of a ballot in the near future for the students to vote upon.
The Exec committee also approved the action of Gene Murray in regard to sponsoring a
Community Chest rally here. This
will be subject to the approval of
Father  President.
Terry McGuire, chairman • of
the Santa Clara rally and dance,
gave a report with two things
being voted upon: the chartering
of special buses for various colleges around the Bay area was
voted down while the. other set
the time of the dance from 9 to 1.
A debate ensued on the formals
allotted to the college by the faculty. The first formal, the Soph
Drag, is slated for Wednesday,
December ii, but this is still in
the planning stage. Several sites
were mentioned but none agreed
upon.
NAMES COMMITTEES
O'Brien named Kevin Crowley
and Frank Falls to head a committee to look into the matter of
keeping the Green and Gold
Room tidy. This was editorially
recommended in the last issue
of  the Foghorn.
Several minor motions were
carried, the most important being the allotting of a petty cash
fund to O'Brien, and approving
the Dominican Reception fund.
Earlier Gerry Kilday, ASUSF
treasurer, had given a report on
the financial status of the school.
Missing from the meeting were
Andre Chicourrat, Maurice Evans
and .lohn Riordan.
KUivEli
U.S.F. leads the way—Last week the ground was broken for the
erection of pre-fabricated buildings on the campus. These buildings, which were- given to the University by the Federal Works
Agency under the Mead Act, will house 12 new classrooms. On
hand for the ceremonies were -lames W. Follin, Assistant Administrator,  Federal  Works  Agency,  from Washington,  D.C.,
Wright L. Felt. Division Engineer for the Bureau of Commodity
Facilities: Father William Dunne, Colonel LaRhett Stuart, and
Robert McCarthy, contractor under whom the project will be
completed. U.S.F. was the first Bay Area University to start
construction on such structures.
ROTC
GREEN AND GOLD
ROOM REVAMPED
Because of the tremendous influx of students and the great
number crowding the Green and
Gold Room, a new section to the
lunch counter has been added.
This new section, which extends
from the end of the old counter
along the wall to the north-eastern corner to thc windows is expected to alleviate a great deal
of congestion.
Thc additional counter will be
ready to serve customers today,
it was announced. Students are
expected to obtain all sandwiches
at the new counter while the old
one will continue to serve shakes
and sodas.
Both  Anna  and  Tony  of   the
Green   and   Gold   Room   believe
thai   the   new   counter   will   all(
viate much of the congestion.
AMBITIOUS PLAN
ANNOUNCED FOR
THE HILLTOP UNIT
Members of the University's
Corps of Cadets last week were
completely immersed in the new
postwar training program now in
effect, and students interviewed
at random expressed favorable
opinions.
Probably among the most important changes in the program
was the reduction of thc weekly
drill time to one hour. Revision
of the theory classes and bringing them up to a level suitable
for college men was also hailed
by many as being significant of
the impotranee which the War
Department is according University R.O.T.C. training.
. Members of the new advanced
course were still completing arrangements insofar as physical
examinations and the selection
of uniforms was concerned. The
uniform decided upon will be the
new Shade 33 O.D. which is now
officially designated as the prescribed officers uniform. A battle jacket will replace the blouse.
It is expected thai the students
will sign contracts this week.
MASS HONOR GUARDS
Reorganization of the cadet
battalion has been effected with
members of the two advanced
courses, all veterans, serving in
Ihe officer posts. Since U.S.F.
has been designated primarily as

LARGE LAW SCHOOL
REGISTRATION; NEW
INSTRUCTORS ADDED
In one of its largest enrollments to date, the Law School
has announced an increase of over 700 per cent in the day
school and some 150 per cent increase in night students.
Total figures are 324 students, with 220 registered in the
day classes and 104 attending night classes. At this time last
year the day division had 27 students while the night classes
were larger with 42 for a combined total of 69 students.
Registrar, Miss Proctor, an-^'
nounced this term has seen the
return of former U.S.F. students, who had left the school
when called to the armed forces
or for various reasons. Some
of the students that have returned include: Albert Cornin,
Bill Wall, Burton Paioretty,
Frank Preston, Robert A. Lom-
bardi and Margaret Sullivan.
It was also announced that
present students are more serious about their studies than in
previous years. The present mortality rate (failures) has decreased from 25 per cent enrollment to about 5 per cent in the
last two years. "The examinations arc just as tough as in former terms so the only conclusion that can be drawn is that
the students are working harder," Dean Hogan said.
SEVERAL   NEW   COURSES*
Dean Edward A. Hogan Jr. also
announced that several new
courses had been added -to thi1
Lav, School curiculum.
The Graduate Department was
added to the regular law school
curriculum at the beginning of
the fall semester.
A course in Debtor's Estates

Spohn, who joined the faculty for
the purpose of offering the
course.
A course in Jurisprudence is
being offered by Rev. Dr. Albert
C. Corcoran, S.J.
Dean Hogan also announced
the addition of many other instructors to the siaff who include: George Helmen, William
J. Dowling, Edward L. Merica,
Stanley Walsh, .John F. Duff,

HEAD OF BOARD;
PLANS COMPLETI
The Board of Student Control
expects one of its most successful years in this, the Fall term
of 1946.
William Richards has been appointed as its chief and his associates on thc Board will be: Hal
Jensen, Charles Willin, and Kenneth McLennan'.
"The greatest thing needed for
our success is the whole hearted
cooperation of thc entire student
body," said Richards. He continued, "I'd first like to make
clear our position as the Board
of Student Control. According to
Hilltop tradition liberal powers
of self-government in all extracurricular activities wore delegated to the Associated Students.
"The reason for this is to
develop among students a habit
of manly self-reliance and initiative, a sense of responsibility and
a spirit of whole-hearted co-operation with the administration in
promoting the best interests of
the University of San Francisco.
Now. the governmental laws of
the Associated Students, are carried out by the Board of Student
Control.
The laws of the Associated Students are YOl'11 laws, and the

The University of San Francisco this week became the
first California institution of higher learning to receive
assistance from the Veterans Educational Facilities Program, as ground breaking ceremonies were held and site
preparation started on the University"s campus for the
erection of surplus government structures acquired through
the Federal Works Agency.
The structures, prefabricated steel hospital units, will

Ground was broken in the
presence of Very Rev. William fl.

Wright L. Fell, Division Engineer
of the Bureau of Community Facilities FWA; Rev. Raymond T.

prominent San Francisco contractor under whose direction the
project will be completed, and
Edward A. llosan, Dean of Law

Commandant of the USF R.O.T.C. unit.
The demountable metal buildings were shipped in "packages"
from Lathrop, California, and
represent the first 'actual grant
under the Federal Works. Agency's California Program'. Work
on the project at other schools
will be rushed to meet the requirements of unprecedented student registration.
The Veterans' Educational Facilities program, which parallels
the temporary housing program
carried out by the National Housing Agency, was authorized when
Congress appropriated $75,000,-
000 and directed the Federal
Works Agency to carry out its
provisions.
The University of San Francisco is the first of many institutions in Mr. Felts District,
which includes Arizona, Nevada,
California, and Hawaii, which will
receive surplus war buildings.
FWA COVERS COLLEGES
"Many colleges and universities found they had met only a
part of the need when student
housing was provided," Mr. Felt
stated, "because they didn't have
enough classroom, laboratory,
and office space. This lack was
so acute that it threatened to
cause the turning away of three
out of every ton veterans seeking
to continue their education.
"The law authorizes the FWA
to provide and equip temporary
classrooms, laboratories, dining
rooms, infirmaries, administrative offices, and other non-housing facilities to enable universities to care for veterans seeking
to take advantage of the educational opportunities under Title
II of the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944.

colleges, universities, technical,
and vocational schools which are
