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. We do believe
he is right.

BIDS   $2.50
Freshmen class president Greg
O'Connell has announced that
bids at $2.50 per couple are now
on sale and are obtainable in the
booth in the niTlin hall. As has
been the habit in the past, the
no-corsage rule will be in effect.
O'Connell wants to st:ess thc no
corsage rule as there is no mention of it on the bids themselves.
O'Connell made the statement,
"I hope that the class of '51' will
remember their Fandango as the
best social event of their entire
stay at U.S.F."
HELP O'CONNELL
In order to fulfill his promise
of an extraordinary good time
for those who attend, the Freshman Prexy has enlisted tho able
assistance of the remainder of
the class officers. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Thomas, Matthew, Griffiths and
Greene.
Mr. Griffiths, member of Phi

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

Captain E. Evans of the Oak

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.

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.
