ZJIlC rJLlahthou5e By THE EDITOR The suggestion that the Executive Council hold its regularly scheduled weekly meetings on the stage in the auditorium is worthy of careful consideration. The plan is not as foolish or farfetched as it sounds, for it would give the students a better insight on their student government. The idea is to have thc Execs go through their paces in front of the studentbody. Motions, arguments and reports could be read in full view of the assembled student. Thus, the Exec members who have the floor will be recognizable by the students, and it would afford ASUSF members a chance to get acquainted with their class representatives. Also, the students could be recognized from the floor to question any of the decisions reached by the Execs while the latter could mull over any problems or ideas which the associated students could offer. A wider scope of interest would thus be achieved. Another advantage, and possibly the primary one, it that many students could sit in on the meetings of the Executive Council. The Semeria Room, at the ■ present time, is badly overcrowded, as many students who would be interested in attending the meetings of the governing body cannot gain admission. The possibilities stemming from the auditorium suggestion are unlimited. The result would be even more advantageous, for it would allow all students to actually take an active part in their student government. In this manner, greater plans could be laid for thc future welfare of the University. * * * Queries have been received regarding the Quarterly, The University's literary magazine, all wanting to know when the book will make its appearance on the campus.

Largest Ever Registration Highest In History Of Schoo New Class Buildings Added; School Faculty Extended According to the dean's office, the spring semester will see the largest enrollment of students in the University of San Francisco's 92-year history. The new mark will be well over 2200. This figure constitutes the total number of students in all the colleges; arts, science, business and law. There are now over 155U in the day division, 300 in the night school, and . — <s>324 students returning to the law Death Takes Col Donald Sanger !n Vacation Special Showing For CIC Colleges Of Henry V Movie The Catholic Intercollegiate Council will sponsor a Catholic Play Nite to be held the evening of March 3. Seats will be available to students attending the seven Bay Area Catholic Colleges. The CIC hopes this will mark the first of a planned annual event. The screen version of Shakespeare's great historical play "Henry V" will be the presentation. The Stage Door Theater will present this showing exclusively for members of the various stu- dentbodies. The theater was secured through the efforts of Jack Durkin, who also managed to obtain a special rate for this performance. GET TICKETS Only forty seats are available for USF students, so those interested in attending are advised to secure their tickets early. Tickets may be purchased from either Bill Pryce or Jack Durkin, or at the main office. The success of this event will determine the number of such productions that will be attended in the future. The CIC plans to make Catholic Play Nite an annual function giving all members of respective studtntbodies thc opportunity of attending such a presentation once a semester. The Catholic Intercollegiate Council sponsored a Communion Mass and Breakfast held last Sunday. This was the first religious function sponsored by this organization.. The CIC is in the hope that this, together with Catholic Play Nite, will become an annual extracurricular activity. Mass Sunday was at 9:30 a.m., at St. Ignatius Church. Father James J. Lyons was celebrant. A Communion Bicakfast followed which was held in the Italian Room of the St. Francis Hotel. Those attending were addressed by Father James Keller, who flew from New York specifically to address this gathering. Father Keller is head of the Mnrvknrill Order. Father Harney presides as moderator of the CIC. Under his guidance and through his effort this function was made possible. American Civil War Authority A few days before he died, Colonel Donald Sanger remarked to his colleagues that it was their jobs to teach college students the right way of life, so that the students might not make the same mistakes which his generation had made. This statement was the aim of Professor Sanger's teaching credo. Colonel Sanger died in the line of duty, in the line of teaching the college men he loved so much. Sanger passed on February 11, passing away in his sleep from an heart attack. Thus died one who had dedicated his life to the youth of his country, one who was dearly loved and cherished by professors and students alike. AIDE TO GEN. BELL Dr. Sanger was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, attended the public schools there and graduated from the "Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1910. He began over 34 years service in the army by being commissioned a second lieutenant in the infantry in 1911. He served as an aide to Gen eral Bell in the years preceding the first World War, participating in the Vera Cruz Campaign at first and then with the renowned second division in the World War. After the war, Dr. Sanger serv- ed on the General Staff Head- quarter's Command and then attended the various army general service schools. He was vvith the border cavalry unit from 1928 to 1935. His most important assignment was in the years 1936 to 1939 when he was commissioned to engineer thc building of a cable system for the defense of the Philipine Islands. After successfully completing this task,. he served on the Coast Artillery Board for several years. In 1940, Dr. Sanger, now a colonel, became associated with USF when he was appointed Professor of Military Science and Tactics, but his stay was shortlived, for when war broke out he was transferred to Washington D.C. to assume the position of Chief of the development of weapons for the army ground forces. WORKING ON BOOK He served faithfully in this capacity until October 1945 when he was hospitalized for a recurrent war injury and subsequently discharged. He returned to the school he loved so much and taught history here for nearly 20 months prior to his death. Although spending most of his time in the army, Dr. Sanger did not neglect his education, getting his Masters in 1928 from tho University of Chicago, and a Phd. in both History and Philosophy in 1934. He also did some graduate work in electrical engineering in Massachusetts. Dr. Sanger was an authority on United States History, particularly the Civil War years. He had been contemplating a book at the time of his death and finished the major portion of research on this project. ROOTING SECTION TOMORROW NIGHT There will be an organized rooting section at tomorrow nights' Santa Clara game, announced head yell leader Dan Galvin. Students arc requested to sit in the rooting section roped off by thc Games Committee. division. William J. Dillon, registrar, emphasized that the day school had an increase of more than 10% over the previous high of last semester. This likewise is an increase of 130 per cent over the fall of 1939, the year that is being commonly taken by statistical bu- reas in compiling figures for universities. BIG SCIENCE COLLEGE "Not only is this the greatest enrollment in our history," said Dillon, "but there has been a particularly noticeable increase in the science college. This is probably due to the technical training many men received while in the armed forces. We have always had a good science college, but up to now the enrollment therein has been comparatively small due to the lack of publicity." Because of the great influx of students, new huts and buildings have been erected throughout the Hilltop campus. These will relieve the congestion in the laboratory classes and make more space available for additional subjects. SHIPPING DIFFICULTD3S Father Feely, S.J., dean of faculties, added, "the shortage of desks is caused by governmental shipping difficulties. We have had the order in some time for the desks and they should arrive in the very near future. Lights will be installed this week." The faculty of the University has been increased by the addition of the following professors: Mr. Van Atta, botany, from the University of California; Mr. Genesey, University of California, will teach history. NEW PROFESSORS The late Mr. Frank will be replaced by Mr. Uhr, who is a candidate for doctorate degree of economics; the late Colonel Sanger will be replaced by Mr. Stewart, Ph.D. candidate at the University of California; Mr. Robert Powell, M.A., political science, Yale; Mr. Edward Brusher, M.A., philosophy, St. Joseph's College. Mr. P. N. Allen, C.P.A., accounting; Mr. Schuler, M.A., English, Wisconsin; Mr. Luckman, who received his B.A. at University of San Francisco and his M.A. at the University of California, will teach political science. Paul Eisler has been added to the German Department. Lenten Services In keeping with the age-old pious custom of attending Mass daily during Lent, Father Raymond McGrorey, S.J., student counselor, has announced that Mass will be celebrated every morning at 7:30 a. m., in the student chapel during the season. "This will enable students to hear Mass daily and have breakfast before their 8:10 classes," he said. Many students participated last week in Ash Wednesday ceremonies marking the first day of the Lenten season and symbolizing the Biblical teaching, "Remember, man, that thou art dust and unto dust thou shall return." Two series of Lenten sermons will be presented at St. Ignatius Church. One, at 7:45 Wednesday evenings, will be^by Father Ralph Brown, S.J. Fathers Raymond T. Feely, S.J., Paul J. Harney, S.J., and John Giambastiani, S.J., will present a Sunday evening series. Novena Of Grace At College Chi Fr. Maher Speaks Jesuit Renowned San Franciscan The Novena of Grace this year will afford many of the faithful an opportunity to hear Reverend Zacheus J. Maher, S.J. one of America's most eloquent and forceful orators when he con ducts the Novena at St. Ignatius Church. Born and reared in San Fran cisco, Reverend Maher is well known in California. He was at one time president of Santa Clara University and Provincial of the California Province of Jesuits, a position he held prior to his appointment as American Assistant to the Father General of the Society of Jesus in Rome. A tireless and relentless worker, Father Maher is undoubtedly America's foremost authority on the Order, and especially the foreign missions. The theme of the Novena will be "The Missions," an exception- Tilly appropriate motif since the Novena held annually by all Jesuit churches in honor of the Cannonization of St. Francis Xavier, one of the original members of the Society of Jesus who has been named by the Holy Father, The Heavenly Patron of the Missions. Father Maher, who will conduct the Novena from March 4-March 12 has taken a parable from the Bible to develop his sermons on our foreign missions. "The Field of Corn," "The Sower," "Thc Seed," "Cockle," and "Full Corn in the Ear" will furnish the esteemed rhetorician with the appropriate themes for his sermons. Services will be held every day at 3:15 P.M. and at 8:00 P.M. Blessing with the Relic of St. Francis Xavier will be given individually after each service. Ben cdiction of the Blessed Sacra ment will also take place after each of the Services. Wassman Society Plans Activities For New Session The first meeting of the new semester will take place Wednesday February 27, at 4:30 in the afternoon in room D-l. As a guest speaker 3Ir. Slevin, the curator of reptiles at tha California Academy of Sciences, will talk to the members. The society, during the coming term, has planned a number of field trips. With thc help of Dr. Harper, the club's moderator, Stan Ritchey has obtained permission to witness operations at the French Hospital for small groups of the society's members. WASSMAN COLLECTOR The new issue of the Wassman Collector is now in press, and should be out in a few days. The Wassman Collector, the society's newspaper, is under the very capable editorship of Dr. Edwin Kessel, chemistry and biology professor. Included in this publication will ic a very informative article by Dr. Karabinos, a professor of or- anic chemistry here at the Uni- 1 versity. School Of Law To Open Registration This Coming Week Margaret Proctor, registrar of the USF Law SchOol, has announced that registration for the coming Spring sesion will bo held on February 24 and February 27. Students, both day and evening division, beginning their law training will register on February 24. February 27 wil be registration day for day and evening division students now enrolled in the school. Instruction for the Spring nes- sion will begin on March 3. All evening division students were requested to file a proposed schedule for the spring term in tho Law School office prior to February 19. ♦-♦ S^llalliJ v To Plan Events The Sodality, under Rev. Father Lyons, S.J., has not announced any definite plans for tho coming Spring semester as yet; however, Father Lyons expects thai things will be getting under way soon. He urged all Catholics to make a genuine effort to attend the daily Mass during the holy season of Lent. Bill Richards Resigns BSC Chairman In Surprise Move At The Executive Committee's First Meeting 0( The Semester No Successor Is Chosen Yef William W. Richards, Chairman of the Board of Student Control, tendered his resignation to the President of the Executive Council at their regular business meeting last Friday. The resignation was effective upon receipt. The move came as a surprise to many members of the Council. In a letter addressed to the Executive Council, Richards stated that he is prevented from devoting the maximum time and attention to the duties and functions charged to this office because of increased pressure of school duties and the fact that he is required to commute more than sixty miles each day between his new residence in Marin County and the University. Richards was appointed to the office of Student Control for the 46-47 term at the beginning of the Fall semester by the Executive Council and subsequently was elected as Chairman by the members comprising the Board. CAPABLE JOB During his tenure of office Richards was instrumental in bringing about a great number of changes in both the procedure and operation of the Board which resulted in increased efficiency of operation and which has since proved to be particularly beneficial to the entire student body. In addition to reviving the dormant Board of Student Control and serving as its first post-war Chairman, Richards is credited with the inauguration of sweeping reorganization which among other things brought about the ratification to the constitution which resulted in the creation of a sub-committee composed to supplement the regular Board. This has resulted in bringing the structure and membership of the Committee more into line which permits them to effectively cope with the increasing duties imposed by a post-war swollen studentbody. SUCCESSOR SOON The selection of another student to fill the vacancy created by Richard's resignation has been taken under advisement by thc ASUSF governing body and the announcement of a successor to this post will be temporarily delayed. The normal procedure followed in the selection of a candidate for appointment to the Board of Student Control, according to the provisions of the Constitution, is the appointment of a student to this Board by the Executive Committee who is a member of the upper class and who has a high scholastic average and possesses thc qualities of leadership. The members of the Board of Student Control hold their own election in selecting a Chairman. "It has been particularly gratifying to me," said Bill Richards, "and a great pleasure to work with one of thc most cooperative groups that I have even been associated with. I have given careful consideration to this step for the past several weeks and have reached the conclusion that I can make a greater contribution to the studentbody by relinquishing the post to another student who can devote (he necessary time required of this office." George Muldoon Replaces Justin Smith As Junior Rep. The Executive Committee of the Associated Students of the University of San Francisco concluded their first meeting of the Spring term last Friday after an active session presided over by vice-president Joseph Vevoda, filling in for the ailing Dan O'Brien. William Richards, chairman of the Board of Student Control for the past semester, Summer Session Dates Announced The dean of summer sessions, Father Paul J. Harney, announced that the coming summer session will commence Juno 13 and end August 3. There will be a wide variety of courses offered, covering all important fields and some will be instructed by visiting proiessors. There will be one summer session only, with regular classes resuming in the latter part of September. was the feature attraction on thc agenda when he turned his resignation to Joseph Vevoda. Richards explained that pressing academic reasons plus great living distance from the college was the main reason for his resignation. Richards' action precipitated a discussion of the Board of Student Control with Don Farbstein finally making a motion requesting the attendance of all members of the Board of Student Control at the next Executive Meeting for an interrogation into their activities. Gerry Kilday concluded the discussion with a vote of appreciation to Richards for his fine work, a motion in which all the members unanimously concurred. FULL REPORTS In the matter of Executive Committee membership, the Execs elected George Muldoon Junior Class representative succeeding Justin Smith who has withdrawn from school. Muldoon has been a member of the Activities committee under Vevoda and has been unofficial second-in-command in that group. It was Muldoon that did much of the organizational work for the Lone Mountain and Dominican Receptions. Vice-President Vevoda cleared the agenda of many matters which have been plaguing the committee for several weeks with much., dispatch... The Constitutional committee promised a full report at the next meeting while the Freshmen class, under President Jack Riordan, showed progress with the plans for the Frosh Fandango. DEBATE POINT A debate ensued over the responsibility for class dances with opinion divided over class responsibility or Executive Committee responsibility. The interpretation of Jim Smith of the Junior Class that the Freshmen alone were responsible for the outcome of the dance was contested by CIC Chairman Jack Durkin, and Treasurer Gerry Kilday. Riordan disclosed that thc Frosh Fandango bids will be sold in a booth in the main hall, and he said certain members of the dance committee would have bids. The price of the bids was set at $3.00 with the music to be provided by Eddie Fitzpatrick and his orchestra. Kilday presented the Budget for the Spring Semester to the Committee in the next business before the council. With a total registration of over 1500 students, the Activities fund of the Associated Students will total in the vicinity of $3,000. INTERPRETATION Kilday explained that: "I have alloted each activity a sum of money so that vve can see just how much we need and where it will go. Providing the Senior Adios does not sustain too big a deficit, the Associated Students should sec a balance of the the books in the black." Before Richards resigned he pointed out that ex-officio members of tho Council were entitled to vote according to an interpretation ho had decided on after consulting a book on parliamentary procedure. Thus, tho Foghorn Editor will bo allowed to vote. The meeting closed at 1:25 with a discussion of tho CIC Communion breakfast which the Execs decided to attend in a body. Maraschi Club Meets Wedsnesday Father Jim Giambastiani, S. S., moderator of the Maraschi Club, announces a meeting will be held tomorrow for al members of the Italian Club, in Room B-4, at 12:10. All members are urged to attend. Elections of officers for the coming term will be held at this time. "Big doings arc ahead for all those of Italian descent," said Father Jim, "such as a big spaghetti feed and a good old healthy picnic at a later date." Frosh Fandango's Committee Wil! Announce St. Francis Of Formal ■WIN Scene Dance The first major social event of the current spring semester will be the Frosh Fandango. The old tradition of holding the dance on St. Patrick's Day will be resumed this year. • Jack Riordan, Freshman Prexy said, "Due to the large atendanCe expected, the Colonial Room and Italian Room of the St. Francis have been reserved to avoid crowding and to afford more dancing pleasure. The Green Room has also been obtained in order to provide refreshments during the evening." Eddie Fitzpatrick and his band will be present to furnish the music from 9 P.M. till 1 A.M. The dance will be formal and the no corsage rule will be in effect. According to the Frosh prexy "Any violators of this rule will not gain admittance to the Colonial Room." Students desiring to attend thc Fandango will be able to obtain bids this week from the booth set up in the main hall of the school: The price of the bids Is $3.00. Riordan also said, "There is a limited supply of bids so those who obtain them first will not be disappointed." Deadline Extended Mr. Sullivan of the Veterans' Administration has announced that there has been a three-month extension from the present February 1, on the deadline for your G.I. insurance. Field Pieces For K.O. I nil Colonel La Rhet Stuart, Head P.M.S. & T. at the University of San Francisco has announced that the unit is slated to receive two anti-aircraft artillery guns. The guns will be a 90MM antiaircraft gun, with an SCR 581. radar attachment mounted on a trailer, a director and power plant complete with all necessary cables and equipment; and a Bo- fors 40MM gun with a separate director and power plant. This equipment will be used in the training of the unit and housing for the guns is now being built. In the meantime new R.O.T.C. buildings are being constructed adjacent to the old structures and will be put into use in the near future.

By THE EDITOR
The suggestion that the Executive Council hold its regularly
scheduled weekly meetings on the
stage in the auditorium is worthy
of careful consideration. The
plan is not as foolish or farfetched as it sounds, for it would
give the students a better insight on their student government.
The idea is to have thc Execs
go through their paces in front
of the studentbody. Motions, arguments and reports could be
read in full view of the assembled
student. Thus, the Exec members
who have the floor will be recognizable by the students, and it
would afford ASUSF members a
chance to get acquainted with
their class representatives.
Also, the students could be recognized from the floor to question any of the decisions reached
by the Execs while the latter
could mull over any problems or
ideas which the associated students could offer. A wider scope
of interest would thus be
achieved.
Another advantage, and possibly the primary one, it that
many students could sit in on the
meetings of the Executive Council. The Semeria Room, at the
■ present time, is badly overcrowded, as many students who would
be interested in attending the
meetings of the governing body
cannot gain admission.
The possibilities stemming from
the auditorium suggestion are unlimited. The result would be even
more advantageous, for it would
allow all students to actually take
an active part in their student
government. In this manner,
greater plans could be laid for
thc future welfare of the University.
* * *
Queries have been received regarding the Quarterly, The University's literary magazine, all
wanting to know when the book
will make its appearance on the
campus. Sad to relate, we do not
know, nor does anyone else for
that matter. It is too bad that
the other colleges have already
produced several editions of their
literary magazines while the Hilltop has yet to come through
""wfth any such venture.
* * *
Last week's reception for
Dominican college was one of the
most successful affairs of its
kind in many years. The committee, under the general chairmanship of vice-president Joe Vevoda, should be commended for the
manner in which they performed
their various tasks. Little do students enjoying the benefits of
thc committee's work realize the
amount of labor necessary for
the success of such an activity.
Before the actual physical work
of decorating the auditorium can
commence, many long hours are
spent in planning such details as
the food, publicity, music and
entertainment. Then the actual
decorating entails much time; in
this case, the committee worked
Sunday morning, and all day
Monday and Tuesday.
The majority of the work was
handled, in addition to Vevoda, by
Bob Jones, Joe Truzzolino, Gus
Chronis, John Meniktas and
George and Don Muldoon. while
thc preparatory work and most
of the planning was accomplish-
by Vin Sullivan. Rod Martinelli,
Jim Triggas and Sut Chalios.
To these few men—and it is
significant to note that it is
these same men who were responsible for the success of the
other recent receptions—the Hilltop should be grateful, for they
transformed the University Auditorium into a thing of beauty.
Careful groundwork and execution of the prepared plans to the
last detail combined to give Dons
the best reception of the school
year.
* * *
With the resignation of Bill
Richards the Board of Student
Control is once again left without
a chairman. Richards has done
a very commendable job during
his chairmanship.
Starting late, last semester with
a college population twice the size
of any previous year, Richards
had, first, to ask for additional
men and, secondly, to clarify
many of the obselete rules. That
he finally had the BSC running
smoothly after many initial obstacles is to his credit. He handled the various conventions and
particularly the Retreat vvith extreme skill.
A successor to Richards will be
hard to find, for no one particu-
larly relishes the thankless job of
BSC chairman. A person who as-
'nes this responsibility must
ave more than just ordinary
school spirit and should be willing to devote much of his time
to running the university in the
proper manner.
Whenever the BSC is strong,
Ihe student government is always
the strongest and vice-versa; the
Board of Student Control is the
backbone of any good student
