Cage Season Opens Tonight At Cow Palace (See Sports) •eW^^W^f^^H^^l^lW cLiaktltoude yj By THE EDITOR If tho student body were an athletic team, and were playing a game next, week, the coach Would have a tremendous task of preventing over confidence. First it was the graduating seniors of the football team, and then their coach, Ed McKeever, who praised the spirit of the U.S.F. students. "Never before liave I seen in any other school at which I've coached, a student body with more spirit than 1 luwv found here at the Hilltop," drawled the horse-riding Texan coa<'h. It Is true. For the past three months, the never-say-die spirit of U.S.F. men was omnipresent. Through short comings and defeats, which would give other student bodies to despair, the Hilltop spirit grew stronger. But as every good coach knows, the time of greatest victory is the time for greatest caution. Upsets are bred out of overconfi dence. The students of U.S.F. must not be overconfident. Now, more than ever, they must fight complacency. The Executive Committee has challenged each and every student with its approval of tentative plans for the Winter Carnival. This extravaganza, one of the most difficult social functions that can be attempted by a school of our kind, requires more manpower and effort than ten rallies, four formal dances, or a bell snatching party. Each committee will need many assistants. But each committee head will not be able to contact each student, individually, and ask him if he would care to serve. With a student body such as this, we know, that there are many who would be delighted to serve in any capacity, on any committee. But as t!s(y will say on February eighth^ "No one asked me --Snelp." '••Consider yourselves, each and every student, asked. FILE THEM OUT The publicity committee for the Winter Carnival has announced that it will provide application blanks for the various sundry tasks next week. These blanks will be a concrete invitation by the Carnival committee for your support and assistance. Once you have filled them out, they may be turned in to any member of the Executive Committee, FOGHORN staff, or to Father Nagle, Dean of Men. Remember, the student body's season did not end last Sunday. There are plenty of engagements to be met and overcome. The Winter Carnival is one. The Frosh Fandango, Basketball season, President's Day and many others are still before us. Success will depend upon a continued, rather than a consiunated effort. * * * Our notebook got to overflowing over the recent holiday, and here are a few items. To Jim Shield, NSA observer from Fordham University who took time out from his studies to drop us a long and informative letter, thanks. We have been meaning to do another article on NSA each week now, and we will certainly get it done in the near future. U.S.F. has about three months left to decide whether or not it wants to join or not, and students must vote, and therefore should be well informed on the organization. ... To the Editor of the Santa Clara for his kind words on our behalf in a not too recent issue. Keep up the good work, Santa Clara. . . . Mario Cortruvo, editor of the St, Mary's COLLEGIAN, stopped us at the St Mary's rally to tell us our Editorial in the Bell Edition was not in keeping: with the facts. The milling throng slopped us from a further discussion of the article, but we hope to take it up again. . . . The rally committee is to be commended for tho St. Mary's rally. One of the old grads who was there, stopped to remark that it was the best rally on the Hill in ten years.

Vice-President Dick Steffani, Sect.-Treas. Bill Duffy, and the class representatives Larry Casserly and Denny Morinos are giving a great deal of their time attempting to make this year's "Fandango" a huge success. O'Connell urges Freshmen especially to give their wholehearted support to this event and help revive the spirit and enthusiasm that is traditional at the hilltop.

Barnucle 180 Army Program For Education Well Underway Extension Course Of Home Study The recent Headquarters Army Ground Forces announcement ihat the post-war Army Extension Course program is now well underway with nearly 150 courses currently available to qualified personnel, should be of interest to all Public Information person nel, from both a personal and a professional standpoint. This is one of the most far- reaching and comprehensive programs of military education ever undertaken by the Army. In addition to those now available, new courses are in the process of preparation by the various arms and services, and it is anticipated that approximately 1000 will be completed within tho next three years. HOME STUDY COURSE The postwar program, established in Marchi 1946, is primar- ly des gned to provide a system- a'.'e course of home study for the thousands of members of the Organized Reserve Corps and the National Guard who desire to keep prepared for wartime assignments and duties by staying abreast of the latest in military developments. General Jacob L. Devers, Commanding General, Army Ground Forces, has stated that he considers the Army Extension Course program one of the most vital training adjuncts. "With so many new fields of knowledge opened as a result of experience gained in World War II, eveiy man now or formerly in uniform can benefit considerably by taking advantage of these correspondence courses," General Devers points out. CONFERENCE Army Ground Forces held a service-wide Extension Course conference at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, last August. This was an important step in the implementation of the program since a prime result of the conference was to effect a closer coordination between the ground arms, technical and administrative services in the administration of the program. Thc courses, which are being administered by the various ground, administrative and technical schools in the six Army areas, are arranged in six series of subcourses for each of the arms and services, and are adapted according to the military grades of the enrollees. Post War Re viva Bazaar, Dance, Raffle Feature winter Social Program Of Executive Committee Execs Clear Deck For Fete Most Executive Committee business last Tuesday pertained to laying the rudiments for the Winter Carnival. The committee managed, however, to clean up some old business, primarily in the form of reports by Dan Strazulo and Greg O'Connell. Strazulo informed committee members that samples of the approved University jackets will soon be brought before them. These samples will be furnished by Resnick and Company. After everyone has been satisfied on all aspects of the samples, the committee will vote to grant a contract to that company. As decided at a previous meeting, the definite price for a jacket which a student will pay is $14. FANDANGO REPORT Giving a summary report on the Frosh Fandango, Greg O'Connell, freshman class president, stated that the bid price has been leveled at $2.50. At the Fandango, which will be held at the St. Francis on December 13, the no-corsage rule shall be in effect. O'Connell vent on lo say that bids can be purchased with ease at the booth In the main hall. He urged committee members to do their utmost to back up this traditional social event to the hilt. The committee next occupied its time with the important business of reminding Rod Martinelli, corresponding secretary of the ASUSF, to write "Thank You" letters to the many personalities who are responsible for the great success of the huge St. Mary's pre-game rally. In the same vein, committee members, led by Rudy Papale and Danny Galvin, agreed to acknoweldge heartily though belatedly, the donation of the Memorial Plaque by Van Woermer and Rodriguez. GALVIN SPEAKS Galvin then rose to the occasion and urged that the corresponding secretary dispatch a letter of congratulations to Coach Ed McKeever and the entire football squad for a swell season. REGIONAL IRC MEET REPORT "The United Nations can work oidy WITHOUT the veto and WITH an effective world police force." "Chinese civil war remains a local problem." "The fate of Europe lies with German recovery." "The U.S. should open its immigration doors to displaced persons." These were the major conclusions reached at the International Relations Club Regional Meet at San Jose College during the week of Nov. 9th-16th. And at the latest meeting of the I.R.C. here at U.S.F., Dons who had attended the regional meeting in San Jose announced these conclusions and other fuller summaries of the discussions which had been carried on by the various regional groups. U.N. CAN WORK John Newsom reported on the "U.N. versus World Federation" discussion. Said he, "We agreed, as a whole, that the U.N. could operate successfully. The major obstacles to this success are the become a big-power affair, a far cry from its original goal." Appraising the discussion members of his particular group, Mr. Newsom stated that most of the student treated of the U.N. from a realistic and concrete point of view, rather than from a theoretical, discussing the structure of the organization, the character, the mechanics of the world body. Mrs. Newsom added, "This exclusive and rather narrow- view was due, I think, to the members' lack of philosophical background." CHINA DISCUSSED Next to speak was Bill Halonen, who had represented U.S.F. in the "Civil Strife in China" discussion. "We all agreed," said Halonen "that the civil war in China remains a local problem. The United Nations cannot act until there is proof of outside help. In Halonen's group three student delegates from other colleges were flatly opposed to any form of U.S. aid to the Kuomintang government unless there should be be forthcoming a corn- veto and the lack of enforcement | plete revision of Chinese economic machinery. Actually the U.N. has I and social conditions. In regard to a possible coalition government, the group members agreed that the present policy of the National Government of calling the opposition "bandits" rather than "Communists" implies the impossibility of any kind of coalition government. Following Halonen was Bill Sanders, delegate to the "Our Policy in Germany" discussion. Stated Mr. Sanders, "We all agreed that Germany must be allowed fo get on her feet again under the vigilant supervision of the U.N. The coming 'big four' foreign ministers' conference in London will decide if eastern and western Germany are to be consolidated and thereby bring about Europe's economic rehabilitation." He added that it was agreed that if Russia continue in its refusal to cooperate with the U.S., England and France, then these latter, along with the rest of the U.N., should go ahead with their o'wn reconstruction program for Germany. PALESTINE QUESTION Last to speak was the U.S.F. delegate to the "Partition of Pa lestine" group, Jack Jessup. He stated that his group was divided into opposing camps. One proposed that the land belongs to the Arabs, and that it would be morally unjust to return any of it to the Jews, and added that any partitioning of Palestine would result in a bloody civil war. The opposing group favored a federation of Arab and Jewish states. A delegate from Lone Mountain suggested that the U.S. open its immigration doors and absorb some of Europe's' displaced personnel. The regional conference at San Jose State College was one of the various annual conferences sponsored nationally by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. The San Jose meeting included representatives from all northern California colleges: U.S.F., Dominican College, San Francisco College for Women, San Francisco State, Stanford, Mills College, College of the Pacific, Holy Names College, Visalia J. C. and Coalinga J. C. The Carnegie endowment supports this group in 775 colleges in the U.S. and in 50 foreign countries. Papale Will Be Main Chairman; Nine Committees Launched RUDY PAPALE Heads Carnival Ship Executive Speaks Before Kappa Alpha Phi Maritime Problem Theme Of Speech Kappa Alpha Phi, lower division economic honor society, had Mr. Ralph Dewey .Ir., research director for the Pacific Amcrjcan Steamship Association, as guest speaker at their meeting Tuesday at noon. Speaking on the theme, "Economics of our Merchant Marine," Mr. Dewey gave a practical analysis of maritime problems. He stressed the need the industry has for government subsidjes in order to keep functioning. Analyzing foreign trade, Mr. Dewey stated that a drop in foreign trade is anticipated, with a consequent lowering of water traffic. He stressed the great possibilities for Far East trade expansjon but said that political unrest is hindering that expansion at present. He reported on the improvement of labor relations in the industry. After the report : question period followed. ♦ ♦ Industrial Psychology Lecture A lecture on Industrial Psychology by Dr. Arthur Fearon featured the meeting of the Industrial Relations Society last Monday evening. Dr. Fearon in his talk stressed the growing importance of Industrial Psychology in this age of technical and industrial expansion. He said that the drudgery and monotony that characterizes large scale industrial expansion is evidence enough for the need of Industrial Psychology. The meeting was attended by a large group despite the fact that post-game victory celebrations were still going on. Frank Manko, president of the Society, announced that members of the Society are invited to bring their wives, girl friends or other interested persons to the future meetings. The next meeting of the Societv is scheduled for December 12. The time and place of the meeting and the name of th next issue of the Foghorn SluDkeKit^ai'iiigi liilcrgBwdalioii Student interpretation of eight of William Shakespeare's best selling selections will highlight the annual St. Ignatius High School Shakespearian contest, to be held this year in the University of San Francisco Little Theater, December 10, at 8:15 p. m.

Farnham Griffith Speaks At aw Club Meeting •Society Initiates 14 Members At their meeting last Wednesday evening, St. Ives Law Club wsa honored to have as their speaker Mr. Farnham Griffiths, member of the San ' Francisco Law Firm of McCutcheon, Thomas, Matthew, Griffiths and Greene. Mr. Griffiths, member of Phi Beta Kappa national honor fraternity, spoke of his experiences while attending Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar. His amusing anecdotes of trials he has attended in England were of particular interest, especially to the lawyers among the alumni section of tho club. FORMAL INITIATION Prior to Mr. Griffith's address, now members who had entered the Club last year were formally initiated. These new members are Dan O'Brien and Fitzmaurice Butler, co-Chancel- lors of the undergraduate division of the club last year, and Vincent Sullivan, Jack Durkin, Bob Riordan, Charlie Willin, Jim Donohue, Bernard Mooney, Bo** Maurer, John Lee, Chuck "do Lo- rimier, Gerry Kilday, Don Farbstein and Jordan Martinelli. After the initiation of the new members, the new officers for the year were installed by Regent Bob Lanctot. The new Pres- ident is Jordan Martinelli, the Secretary is Don Farbstein, and the Treasurer is Gerry Kilday. Next meeting of the Club is .scheduled for Wednesday ove- ning. December 17, when the speaker will be Mr. Valentine Hammack. graduate of the University, former U. S, Attorney, and Special Prosecutor during the Japanese War Trials. Expect plenty of hustle-bustle around the campus beginning this week. The Winter Carnival is back! As tentatively laid down by Executive Committee proceedings lasl Tuesday, the date of the gigantic social affair is Saturday, February 7, 1948; the place, Scottish Rite Auditorium. PAPALE CHAIRMAN In the beginning, the Committee plunged in and appointed Rudy Papale, senior class president, to the vital post of general chairman. Papale had informed members of the-many angles from which the carnival can be approached, and had recommended a great number of details in regards to prizes and the general atmosphere of the affair. This, plus the fact that he is the leader of the more adult members of the student body, led to Papule's appointment. COMMITTEES Next came the very necessary business of selecting men to be appointed :o assist the general chairman. Nino committees, with chairmen, wore formed to take charge of nine different functions; thoy are: 1. Publicity 2. Dance .. 3. Decorations 4. Refreshments Chairmen Don Farbstein George Snyder Joe Truzzolino Geo. Muldoon Wasmann llwirs •Ta^ain P<1vai*sj Captain E. Evans of the Oak Knoll Naval Hospital in Oakland was guest speaker at the last meeting of the Wasmann Society. The members found Captain Evan's talk timely and interesting. He explained the electrocardiograph and its use in the diagnosis of the heart ailments which have long: been a mvstery to medial science. The highlight of the discussion was on ovnlnna- e guest j tion of the structure of the human heart. 5. Tickets Gerry Kilday 8. Raffles Danny Galvin 7. Booths ttype, number, • etc.) Walter Johnson 8. Booth Prizes Terry McGuire 9. Queen Committee Bob Jones Written reports by each committee chairman will be forthcoming at the next committee session. Each chairman will outline his plans and the actions he has taken so far to see them realized. MEN NEEDED This is, of course, only the loose framework. Every member of the Executive Committee who was present put forth the idea that the committees numbered above represent only the barest fundamentals. Each newly-formed committee needs a good ten men in order to achieve the success which is desired. Fully manned, they will serve to channel effort, time and money to the general chairman, Rudy Papale, so that he can gauge the total effect. It is evident, then, that many more men will be needed besides the appointed nucleus. Therefore, "students are urged, asked, bogged, to do what they "" bv contacting the chairman of that committee on which they think thev would like to serve," said Papale. The last Carnival saw. altogether, a hundred students interested enough in it to devote their time and effort to its success. Tlpns are being formulated which will havo each district in the citv under the supervision of a chairman who will head that district's pr;ze-securing committee. The soliciting of prizes is the greatest toll on time and effort. It is here that student cooperation is especially desired.

These were the major conclusions reached at the International Relations Club Regional Meet at San Jose College during the week of Nov. 9th-16th. And at the latest meeting of the I.R.C. here at U.S.F., Dons who had attended the regional meeting in San Jose announced these conclusions and other fuller summaries of the discussions which had been carried on by the various regional groups. U.N. CAN WORK John Newsom reported on the "U.N. versus World Federation" discussion. Said he, "We agreed, as a whole, that the U.N. could operate successfully. The major obstacles to this success are the become a big-power affair, a far cry from its original goal." Appraising the discussion members of his particular group, Mr. Newsom stated that most of the student treated of the U.N. from a realistic and concrete point of view, rather than from a theoretical, discussing the structure of the organization, the character, the mechanics of the world body. Mrs. Newsom added, "This exclusive and rather narrow- view was due, I think, to the members' lack of philosophical background." CHINA DISCUSSED Next to speak was Bill Halonen, who had represented U.S.F. in the "Civil Strife in China" discussion. "We all agreed," said Halonen "that the civil war in China remains a local problem. The United Nations cannot act until there is proof of outside help. In Halonen's group three student delegates from other colleges were flatly opposed to any form of U.S. aid to the Kuomintang government unless there should be be forthcoming a corn- veto and the lack of enforcement | plete revision of Chinese economic machinery. Actually the U.N. has I and social conditions. In regard to a possible coalition government, the group members agreed that the present policy of the National Government of calling the opposition "bandits" rather than "Communists" implies the impossibility of any kind of coalition government. Following Halonen was Bill Sanders, delegate to the "Our Policy in Germany" discussion. Stated Mr. Sanders, "We all agreed that Germany must be allowed fo get on her feet again under the vigilant supervision of the U.N. The coming 'big four' foreign ministers' conference in London will decide if eastern and western Germany are to be consolidated and thereby bring about Europe's economic rehabilitation." He added that it was agreed that if Russia continue in its refusal to cooperate with the U.S., England and France, then these latter, along with the rest of the U.N., should go ahead with their o'wn reconstruction program for Germany. PALESTINE QUESTION Last to speak was the U.S.F. delegate to the "Partition of Pa lestine" group, Jack Jessup. He stated that his group was divided into opposing camps. One proposed that the land belongs to the Arabs, and that it would be morally unjust to return any of it to the Jews, and added that any partitioning of Palestine would result in a bloody civil war. The opposing group favored a federation of Arab and Jewish states. A delegate from Lone Mountain suggested that the U.S. open its immigration doors and absorb some of Europe's' displaced personnel. The regional conference at San Jose State College was one of the various annual conferences sponsored nationally by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. The San Jose meeting included representatives from all northern California colleges: U.S.F., Dominican College, San Francisco College for Women, San Francisco State, Stanford, Mills College, College of the Pacific, Holy Names College, Visalia J.

As tentatively laid down by Executive Committee proceedings lasl Tuesday, the date of the gigantic social affair is Saturday, February 7, 1948; the place, Scottish Rite Auditorium. PAPALE CHAIRMAN In the beginning, the Committee plunged in and appointed Rudy Papale, senior class president, to the vital post of general chairman. Papale had informed members of the-many angles from which the carnival can be approached, and had recommended a great number of details in regards to prizes and the general atmosphere of the affair. This, plus the fact that he is the leader of the more adult members of the student body, led to Papule's appointment. COMMITTEES Next came the very necessary business of selecting men to be appointed :o assist the general chairman. Nino committees, with chairmen, wore formed to take charge of nine different functions; thoy are: 1. Publicity 2. Dance .. 3. Decorations 4. Refreshments Chairmen Don Farbstein George Snyder Joe Truzzolino Geo. Muldoon Wasmann llwirs •Ta^ain P<1vai*sj Captain E. Evans of the Oak Knoll Naval Hospital in Oakland was guest speaker at the last meeting of the Wasmann Society. The members found Captain Evan's talk timely and interesting. He explained the electrocardiograph and its use in the diagnosis of the heart ailments which have long: been a mvstery to medial science. The highlight of the discussion was on ovnlnna- e guest j tion of the structure of the human heart. 5. Tickets Gerry Kilday 8. Raffles Danny Galvin 7. Booths ttype, number, • etc.) Walter Johnson 8. Booth Prizes Terry McGuire 9. Queen Committee Bob Jones Written reports by each committee chairman will be forthcoming at the next committee session. Each chairman will outline his plans and the actions he has taken so far to see them realized. MEN NEEDED This is, of course, only the loose framework. Every member of the Executive Committee who was present put forth the idea that the committees numbered above represent only the barest fundamentals. Each newly-formed committee needs a good ten men in order to achieve the success which is desired. Fully manned, they will serve to channel effort, time and money to the general chairman, Rudy Papale, so that he can gauge the total effect. It is evident, then, that many more men will be needed besides the appointed nucleus. Therefore, "students are urged, asked, bogged, to do what they "" bv contacting the chairman of that committee on which they think thev would like to serve," said Papale. The last Carnival saw. altogether, a hundred students interested enough in it to devote their time and effort to its success. Tlpns are being formulated which will havo each district in the citv under the supervision of a chairman who will head that district's pr;ze-securing committee. The soliciting of prizes is the greatest toll on time and effort. It is here that student cooperation is especially desired.
