S OUTLAST ■' ^ H SEE SPORTS liMp*^^^**^^^.*^^^^^^^****^^^^^^* Oh. oLlahth house porn V^^^^r^^^^^^^^^^^^^^"^WV 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. T h e International Relations 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.

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. University of San Francisco will be represented at the Dominican college meeting by Fr. Harney, 3.J.. Dean of Men, Daniel O'Brien, Student Body President, Joseph Vevoda, Vice President of the Sudent Body, Jack Durkin, chairman of the CIC, William Richards, Guido Saveri and William Pryce. « j 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." SOPH DRAG BIDS TO 60 OH SA! NOV. 18: PREXY BULL ANNOUNCE Bids for the Sophomore Drag, the first of the big social whirls given annually by the University of San Francisco, which this year will be a strictly formal affair held in the attractive Gold Room of the Fairmont Hotel on the evening of December 18th, will be placed on sale on Monday, November 18th, according to Chairman Brill of the dance committee. Assessment for this dance tentatively has been set at $4.00, but is subject to reduction at a later date in the event the committee succeeds in securing adequate funds from other sources to offset anticipated expenses. TICKETS ON SALE SOON Approximately three hundred tickets will be available to other classmen of the University and will be distributed on a first come first served proposition and may lie purchased from officers of the Sophomore class. Law School Grads At! mi tied To Bar Three graduates of the School of Law of the University of San Francisco will be admitted to the Bar of California on Wednesday morning, November 6 at Sacramento. The three graduates are veterans who are admitted to the Bar under the provisions of Assembly Bill 66 which permits admission on motion to those who have completed two-thirds of their law before entry into military service and later completed successfully the full Law course. The three to be admitted are Chauncey W a r r o n McKeever, James i>. Smith and James Charles Walsh. Early announcement of some of the plans and preparations presently being formulated by the committees to aissure the Sophomore class dancfl of being the most prominent social event in recent years has met with such enthusiastic support and acclaim by the men on the campus that predictions of a complete and early sell-out of bids are now being made. Students are requested! to wait until November 18th when the tickets to the dance go on sale before they approach th«s dance committee for bids, since' it has been unanimously decidrvl that no sales will be made or promised in advance of the designated date. Hospital Plan Set For All Veterans Any veteran with a service-connected disability is entitled to '.receive outpatient medical, surgidal 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. If a veteran is in need of hospitalization, he or a close relative, physician or representative should apply at the nearest VA office. Authorization can be given by telephone in emergencies, in which case the veteran's physician should call the nearest VA regional office. If a veteran is in need of outpatient treatment for a service- connected disability, he may apply for such treatment from any VA clinic or any private physician who is a member of 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: ROTC APPOINTMENTS With tne concurrence of the President of the University, to be Cadet Second Lieutenants: Sieg- bert Adler, Robert Allen, Francis Alfred, John Buckley, John Callaghan Jr., John Chcnowitz, Donald Coder, Joseph Crescini, Chas. DeLorimier, Lawrence Driscill, Warren Foley, Daniel Galvin Jr., U. S. Grant, Charles Grimm, Jarnes Henderson, Thomas Hunt, Andrew Kutehes, Thomas Mulvi- hili, Paul C Dowd, Fred Peters Jr., Louis Ravano, Donald Simpson, Herbert Smith Jr., James Triggas, Philip Tyrwhitt, Walter Varakin. The Honor Guard from the School of Law at the Annual Memorial Mass at the University held today for the deceased members of the law student body and alumni was composed of Harold Mcintosh, Army Captain; John Trimbur, Navy Lieutenant Commander; Gene O' Meara, Army Colonel; Art Zief, Navy Lieutenant; Al Bonnington, Marine Lieutenant; Al Rouse, Army Captain; Tom Toomey, Navy Lieutenant; Frank Solvin, Navy Lieutenant; Fred Von Soosten, Navy Lieutenant; Ezio Paolini, Army Major; Robert McCarthy, Army Captain; Robert Drews, Army Lieutenant Colonel; Ed Fraser, Army Major; and Jim Preovolos, Navy Lieutenant. an Jobs Available About 400 part-time evening jobs of a week or longer duration, paying $1.03 per hour, were open today at the Oakland Veterans Administration Insurance office, while over fifty part-time jobs are available at the San Francisco office. Part-time employees will work from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., beginning about November 4. Applicants may apply immediately at the 15th and Clay Street office, which is open weekdays until 10 p.m. 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. Students Hear The Counsellors The first convocation of th* semester took place last Thursday when Catholics gathered in the University Church to hear student counsellor Father Raymond McGrorey. S.J., speak while non-Catholics assembled in th» University Auditorium to liaten to D»an of Faculties Father Raymond T. Faely, 8.J.

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.

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.

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: ROTC APPOINTMENTS With tne concurrence of the President of the University, to be Cadet Second Lieutenants: Sieg- bert Adler, Robert Allen, Francis Alfred, John Buckley, John Callaghan Jr., John Chcnowitz, Donald Coder, Joseph Crescini, Chas.

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. Students Hear The Counsellors The first convocation of th* semester took place last Thursday when Catholics gathered in the University Church to hear student counsellor Father Raymond McGrorey. S.J., speak while non-Catholics assembled in th» University Auditorium to liaten to D»an of Faculties Father Raymond T. Faely, 8.J. |
