By THE EDITOR
An amendment to the Constitution has been proposed
by the Executive Council and
will be found in its entirety
elsewhere on these pages. The
amendment would increase
the membership of the Board
of Student Control from four
to six. In addition, a subcommittee of the B.S.C.
would be formed consisting
of 12 members.
For the most part, the
amendment is justifiable due
to the large student body, but
the sub-committee clause presents a problem.
The amendment states that
this committee will be chosen by
the chairman of the B.S.C. within
the first week of the Fall semester. This vvc think should be
modified lo read that members
will be chosen by the Executive
Council, or a special sub-committee of the Execs, as they are representatives of thc studentbody
and thus will be able to secure
the fittest men for the positions.
However, this is strictly an irrelevant detail.
The question may arise as to
the purpose of having a separate
sub-committee. Why not incorporate the sub-committee into the
B.S.C. and raise the membership
not to six but to either 10 or 12.
As the amendment reads now,
the sub-committee members
would be a group of policing
members vvith voting authority
denied them in any of the B.S.C.
meetings. This, we think, is definitely unfair.
If the sub-committee is to enforce the regulations of tho University, then they should have
the right to say whom they want
to head the B.S.C. They should
not be set up as merely a group
with the unpleasant task of taking violator's names as their
chief chore. In the same vein, not
many students will serve on such
a committee unless they have
some sort of voting power Within the group.
We are not opposed to the B.S.
C. amendment, but we do think
that the measure would be of
greater benefit to the university
if the objectionable parts were
revived. At least, the Executive
Council should spend a little
more time on the measure before
presenting it to the students. As
the amendment now reads, it is
not very good,
Tiie fundamental issue that of
enlarging the membership of the
B.S.C.—is correct and proper, but
the incidental details as enumerated in tile proposed amendment,
should be ironed out by the members of the Executive Council
before th'' final amendment is
presented fo students for approval.

Club has been, without a doubt,
the outstanding student organization on the Hilltop thus far in
the semester. Under the able
Guidance of its moderator, Dr.
Franck, and its president, Paul
Eisler, the I.R.C. was revived several weeks ago and has expanded
greatly in that short time.

CIC Meeting, Nov. 8
IRC Group To
Hear Prof. Belquist
of U. of California
Members of the Catholic Intercollegiate Council, representing
the seven Catholic Colleges in the
Bay area, will gather for their
monthly business meeting at Dominican College, San Rafael, on
November 8, where extensive
plans for combined collegiate social activities among the member
colleges will be completed. The
business meeting will be preceded by dinner for the visiting
council  members.
The principal task before the
Council will be the coordinating
of the various intercollegiate social programs planned by the
member colleges. Enthusiastic response from the associated colleges to CIC's chairman Jack
Durkin's request for the submission of individual social calendars indicates that all affiliated
colleges anticipate the most extensive inter-social activities since
the organization of the Catholic
Council.
"The members of the Intercollegiate Council will endeavor to
carry out one of the most progressive agenda ever undertaken," stated Chairman Jack Durkin, "which we hope will bring
about a closer union, both intellectually and socially, among the
students of the member colleges."
IRC's TO MEET
The Council has completed arrangements for a joint meeting
of all the members of the International Relations Clubs of the
CIC association to meet in the
auditorium of the University of
San Francisco on the evening of
November 21, at 8 p. m., to hear
guest speaker Professor Eric C.
Bellquist, chairman of the Political Science Department of the
University of California, discuss
one of the present-day problems
of democracy.

RIFLE TEAM
TRYOUTS HELD
NEXT WEEK
Although regular rifle team
try-outs have not yet been scheduled, many R.O.T.C. cadets have
been limbering up their trigger
fingers and sharpening up their
eyes by firing almost daily.
M/Sgt. Taddy, rifle team instructor, has announced that regular firing sessions and t.ry-outs
will be held as soon as is possible.
The Sergeant, a new aririval at
the Hilltop, expressed his satisfaction over the enthusiasm and
interest which the cadets have
been displaying toward tie rifle
team. Ho said:
"We have an excellent, six target range, plenty of ammunition,
and some fine target riftes. The
men are eager to leam a.ad from
what I've scon we already have
some good riflemen on hand."
Sgt. Taddy also found time to
renew an old friendship with
Gene O'Meara, former Advance
course graduate, now attending
Law School.
According to Taddy, tre served
under the lieutenant, and, in the
words of the Sergeant:
"O'Meara was just out ol"
school and a better officer could
not be found. I would hrcve broken
my back for him if he v.rould have
asked me to!"
STORY
The Students of the University of San Francisco—two
thousand strong—will begin their annual retreat today.-
This year's retreat will be the largest ever held in the
ninety years of this function, a function not held on most
campi throughout the United States.
For three days, the students will devote their hearts and
minds to God—lay aside their books and strive to arrive at
an understanding of the moral side of education.
The retreat will be under the direction of the Reverend
John R. Bradstreet, S.J., preaching here for the first time.
Father Bradstreet was an army chaplain during the war and
has    been    recently    discharged^-	
from the armed forces.
COMPULSORY FOR ALL
He is not a novice at leading
retreats having participated in
them many times. This year he
will be an especially appropriate
man to lead the retreat because
of his acquaintance with the
problems of the veterans with
whom he served in the Army.
The retreat will begin on a
solemn note this morning with
memorial services dedicated to
the 101 Gold Star Dons and three
faculty dead since the war.
The studentbody was reminded
Thursday by Father Raymond
McGrorey, S..I., student counselor
and spiritual adviser, that the retreat was compulsory for all students. Convocation numbers will
be checked each of the three days
of the function prior to all the
services.
This is the last compulsory religious function of the semester.
RET CRN FRIDAY
The Catholic students will assemble in the Church each morning at 8 o'clock while the no'n-
Cathoiic students will meet in the
Auditorium. Here they will be
given a series of talks by former
Army and Navy Chaplains.
Non-Catholics may attend the
Catholic retreat in the church if
they so desire.
Classes met as usual yesterday
and will reconvene at 10:10 on
Friday on the completion of the
retreat.
Bill Richards, Board of Student
Control Chairman, said: "Convocation numbers will be checked
not only at the beginning of services but prior to each conference. Complete convocation lists
are now available and both Catholics and non-Catholics will be obliged to attend all the services
or lectures."
MEMBERS ADDED TO B.S.C.
Richards emphasized the fact
that the customary' one dollar
fine will not hold true for the retreat. Instead severe penalities
have been worked out, so that
students will realize the importance of attending the retreat.
"The system of checking convocation numbers is now completed," said Richards, temporary
members have been added to the
B.S.C. for this important function."
Father Raymond T. Feely, S.J.,
Dean of Faculties, stressed the
point that the retreat is the most
important, religious function of
the academic year. "Consequently," he said, "every student
should put all his efforts behind
the retreat."

and dental tratment provided by
the Veterans Administration.
Hometown medical treatment
by private doctors for service-con^
nected disabilities may be obtained in California through the California Physicians Service.

Fr. Lyons S.J. Gives
Introductory Talks
To Literary Students
Former members of the Kappa
Lambda Sigma, the oldest fraternity on the carhpus and publishers of the nationally known San
Francisco Quarterly, along with
other USF students with an English Literature major, met with
"Rev. James J. Lyons, S.J., on
Tuesday, October 29, to formulate a procedure for the immedi
ate reorganization of a more
active literary society and the
rejuvenation of pre-war ' vintage
esprit de corps.
A major portion of the meeting
was devoted to the discussion of
ideas and suggestions for the
forthcoming edition of the San
Francisco Quarterly.
For the benefit of the students
attending the University of San
Francisco for the first time ahd
for the information of those who
may not be familiar with the
aims and intentions of this publication, the San Francisco Quarterly is a symposium of USF
students, faculty and graduate
effort in academic and creative
fields. Briefly stated, the Quarterly is a collection of articles
about topics of general interest,
developed from studies in a particular academic field, and selected on the basis of its literary
excellence. It is a privilege and
honor for an author to have his
work selected for publication in
the Quarterly. It is not the policy
of every' college with a similar
organ to permit the works of
undergraduates to apear in print,
as does the University of San
Francisco.
QUARTERLY FAMOUS
The University of San Francisco Quarterly was founded in
1889 by Rev. Albert Ignatius
Whelan, S.J. Since that time publication of the Quarterly has continued without interruption .until
the Fall of 1942, when the misfortunes of war brought about
tis temporary suspension.
The San Francisco Quarterly-
has received national recognition,
having been favorably compared
with thc famous Briarcliff Quarterly (formerly known as the
Maryland Quarterly) perhaps the
most notable of all the American
quarterlies.
Father Lyons requests the assistance of all students in the
University with literary talent to
continue material and help make
the next issue of the Quarterly
the largest and most scholarly
work with the greatest cross section of  writings  yet  assembled.
The material submitted to Father Lyons tor consideration
must be original work in the form
of short stories, poems, humorous articles, articles on the fine
arts, music, paintings, architecture, historical essays, biographical essays, or material pertaining
to the coming centennial of USF.
A joint meeting of the officers
of the KLS with a. group of former alumni members has been
planned for the immediate future
for the purpose of completing arrangements for the revival of
traditional initiation ritual and
ceremonies of the Society.
Next preliminary meeting of
the Quarterly Staff will be held
•on Thursday, November 7, immediately after the last exercise of
tVie morning retreat.
Today we begin the annual student retreat.
Today we get the chance of adjusting our
worldly affairs to better mould them into
the pattern which we call our philosophy of
life.
Today our soul enters into the training-
camp for the war which we will fight all our
lives.
Perhaps, the last phrase, "a training camp
for the soul," aptly sums up the nature of a
retreat. We start from scratch today; how
well we make the retreat will influence our
life on this Earth and whether we will attain
that happiness which is conditionally destined for all men.
A retreat endeavors to answer many questions, religions and ethical, but the fundamental issue is still whether we are on the
right side—with or against God. One need
not necessarily be a Catholic to make a good
retreat. Right and wrong can be distinguished even by the most ignorant of savages.
The benefits of a good retreat are many;
probably the greatest will be in the inspiration attained when the retreat is concluded.
This inspiration, that we have been better
equipped for life, have consolidated our philosophy of life, will more than compensate
for the few hours of effort spent in making
a good retreat.
We are fortunate in securing as our retreat master one of the outstanding men in
this field. Father Bradstreet is an expert
in conducting interesting and refreshing services, and his many years of experience with
college students lias especially qualified him
for the week's task.
We will know, at the end of the week,
whether our retreat has been a successful
one. This knowledge will be purely subjective, for we alone will be able to attest the
success of the retreat. The retreat is a personal challenge; how well we answer that
challenge will be forthcoming Friday morning.
COMMUNICATIONS AND OFFIC
APPOINTMENTS ON ROTC PROGRAM
FOGHORN MEET TODAY
\ There will be an important
ro63eting of all Foghorn Reporters, both news and sports
departments, today in the Fog-
hcirn Offices at twelve, im-
immediately following the last
Retreat Services.
The groups of busy men laying-
phone wire late last week in the!
vicinity of the new classroom
units being erected on the campus were not from the telephone
company. They were merely
members of the Advanced course
R.O.T.C. getting the practical
phases of how to set up a field
telephone and operate a field
switchboard under the quick and
experienced eye of Master Sergeant Hubbert Dent.
According to Sgt. Dent, former
communications chief on Attu
and holder of the Distinguished
Service Medal, the future second
lieutenants showed unusual talent and were progressing rapidly.
Apparently previous service in
the Armed Forces, during which
all the cadets had some sort of
communications experience, helped to develop their aptitude.
RADIO WORK
Tiie communications phase of
the advanced training includes
use of the walkie-talkie radio and
thc larger field sets as well as instruction in encoding, decoding,
and standard radio procedure.
Training in the use of radar and
direction finders will be stressed
since they are of vital importance
to antiaircraft officers.
Last week also, Colonel La
Rhett Stuart. Professor of Military Science and Tactics, issued
fhe following list of promotions:

SETS NEW
RECORD     !
Execs Finish All
Business In Record
Time of Four Minutes
With amazing dispatch and
efficiency, the Executive
Board of the Associated Students of the University of San
Francisco completed their
business at last Thursday's
meeting in four minutes flat.
A standing vote was taken on
all propositions.
(The meeting was held in the
hallway.)
Business accomplished: 1. Approved tentative plans for the
Frosh Fandango; 2. Appointed
Don Farbstein and Gerald Kilday
to look into the health of Executive Board member Maurice
Evans.
The reason that the executives
had to stand in the hallway was
that the Crew was holding a
meeting in the Semeria Room.
Studentbody President Dan
O'Brien was attending the crew
meeting and missed the Executive Board meeting which was
presided over by studentbody
vice-president Joe Vevoda.
