Opinion: No drinking allowed—Page 6 Scene: Country rock old style—Page 8 i^^^f;"- San Francisco Foghorn The University of San Francisco SEPTEMBER 23, 1999 http://toghorn.ustca.cdu VOLUME 96, ISSUE 3 Alums Try to Revive SAE Daycare Blues Haley A. Bogosian FOGHORN STAFF WRITER Since last March's big "Patty Murphy" event, an annual party hosted by the SAE fraternity, some students are wondering, "What happened to SAE?" Since the party, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, a social fraternity at the University of San Francisco, has been on three years suspension from USF. The Foghorn has learned that complaints such as loud noise, littering,and other disturbances date back twenty years. SAE will be allowed to apply as a fraternity again and be recognized by USF if they pass this probation. SAE got its current house, which is located on Fulton Street, in 1980. Will the fraternity officially be opened again? Alums are determined to save it. "Since I have been in this position for the past two years, SAE's conduct has resulted in a series of complaints. One event freeze framed would not be sufficient enough to revoke their license," said the current Greek adviser, Jack McLane. "After reviewing these complaints, USF discovered that SAE had been in violation of both the University's policy of conduct and state and city laws." McLane would not explain the specifics of what lead to the suspension last March. Chapel Includes All Faiths Mark Kennedy FOGHORN STAFF A Muslim imam led a traditional prayer, a Buddhist from a local temple prayed aloud, and a Jewish rabbi sang in Hebrew. Where did these people meet? The new Interfaith Chapel located on Lone Mountain. In a ceremony called "Many Flames, One Fire," representatives from eight different faiths, 48 faculty members and no students other than presenters, gathered to dedicate the chapel last Tuesday. The new chapel has no religious symbols in it but does incorporate circles, a symbol popular in many religions. It is located in room 217 of Lone Mountain and is open to people from all religions and traditions. The Rev. Thomas Lucas, S.J., the creator of the chapel and Chair of the Fine and Performing Arts department, worked over a year trying to bring the room from a meeting space back to what it was 38 years ago—a Religions : Page 4 CORINNE MONTGOMERY/FOGHORN Alums are making efforts to improve the exterior ofthe SAE house Approximately 7 USF students live in the house and are trying to resurrect the fraternity. "When the University does not recognize the fraternity as a club, we lose support from the insurance company. Thus, myself and other alumni decided to step in, so that we can save our chapter from ending," said USF and SAE alumnus of the class of 1997, Glenn Gilmore, who currently resides in the house. "We [Gilmore and other alumni] have taken control of the house and membership, and are taking steps to raise the standards within the house. We have made progress in bettering the appearance of both the interior and exterior of the home. As a resident ofthe home, I can guarantee that there will be no more parties, drinking or smoking on the premises." Alums: Page 3 Joelle Clark FOGHORN STAFF WRITER Before some faculty and students head for class each morning, they drop off their children at various daycare centers around the Bay Area, since USF does not offer daycare services on its campus. Currently, no proposals for on-site daycare are on the table. Over the past 10 years, various proposals have been made for an on-site daycare center at USF. The last proposal was submitted about four years ago. It suggested that USF convert the Underhill building, which currently houses the ROTC and Upward Bound programs, to a daycare center. This location would provide space for approximately 120 children; however, this proposal was rejected because it did not fit USF's campus space appropriation plan.
