We do not prescribe to that school of Political Analysts who attempt to predict outcomes of elections, but the result here seems assured. St. Mary's will join the National Students Association. Scanning the most recent issue of the Collegian, the paper is obviously whole-heartedly behind those who seek affiliation. While its editorial staff attempted to show impartiality, their sentiments are quite clear. The power of the collegiate press will be tested by the outcome of the balloting. A defeat for NSA would also mean a defeat for those who maintain thai the college newspaper is the most influential vehicle in mould ing student opinion. THE ISSUE ITSELF But what of the issue itself We have used many articles dis cussing NSA. We have attended meetings, sessions and read pages of literature and constitu tions. A short time ago, we received a letter from Jim Shields, author lred observer to NSA from Fordham University, in the New York Metropolitan Area. Mr. Shields, who was a graduate of St. Ignatius High School, and is in the east on a scholarship which he won through the Westinghouse Science Awards, wrote to disagree in part with what this writer had said concerning NSA. In the issue of October 31, we gave you our impressions of NSA, and the reasons pro and con on joining it. At that time narrowed our arguments to this: "NSA does not add to existing organizations. Its constitution and by-laws provide evident contradictions to the Constitution and By-Laws of the A.S.U.S.F. For U.S.F. to accept NSA. would necessitate changing our own Constitution, or not whole- J.r*-'Ttedly ascribing to the Conation of NSA. "NSA, in its organizational setup, is .subject to. control by a small minority. The average student at school does not care one way or the other about NSA, and a few lefties, or fellow travelers could gain the control of their school delegation, and from there jump to domination of the whole of NSA. Let us wait and see before we take action." PERSONAL COMMENT To these objections, Shields gave us his personal comment, not that of Fordham's which we would like to cite here. ON AVERAGE STUDENT INTEREST. "It's just plain tough to get anybody interested in something like NSA with midterms . . . heavy dates . . . football games. We're doing our best through newspapers, student committees and organized personal contact to keep as many students as possible at least informed of, if not interested in NSA. . . ." ON ACADEMIC FREEDOM (Gives student right to do or say most anything.) "Here in New York . . . we have highest concentration of Communists, pinkos, and fellow-travelers to be found anywhere outside of Europe: and their definition of "academic freedom" is freedom to turn a college into a sounding board for the good old party line. Along with this, of course, they suggest—and I heard this at the last Regional meeting I attended—that any person, even a student, who has the notion that maybe the Faculty should have something to say about running a school is a Fascist. We are not naive enough to miss the implications of this sort of thing. (Continued on Page 4, Col. 1) OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE ASSOCIATED STUDENTS UNIVERSITY OF SAN FRANCISCO NEW FEATURES!!

The BSC has decided to leave the President's and Vice-President's chair vacant until an election, which will be held some time after school resumes, determines who will fill these vacancies. As we reported last week, Rudy Papale will graduate and won't h,e able to assume the duties of President: Jordan Martinelli the vice-president, should have stepped up to the Presidential post, but decided to stay on as Chairman of the BSC. He had accepted the position thinking it wouldn't interfere with his duties as vice-president; all this, of course, leaves both posts of President and Vice-President empty. WANTED: PRESIDENT Members of the Senior Class should begin looking at each other for possible candidates for President and Vice-President. By the time an announcement conies out asking for candidates, the senior class should have its con- didates already chosen. SAME DEAL Regarding other election problems, the question Came up as to the election of yell-leaders. Many students complained of the method and choice of candidates offered them. Our problem is not an isolated case; The Stanford Daily reports the same problem existing on the "farm." Their solution is very similar to that proposed here at U.S.F., that is, a training program for prospective yell-leaders with the most proficient members of the class becoming candidates in the elections.

BSC Appoints Nine New,Men The $12.75 bid of Kitsch and Price on the University jacket was accepted by the committee as the lowest of the five sealed bids submitted. Purchase orders for the jackets themselves will be available beginning Monday. Committee acceptance of the Hirsch-Price bid ended tiie long adventure of providing students with a common jacket, an advantage that at some moments assumed almost violent proportions. REPORT EXPLAINED , Gerry Kilday, student treasurer, gave the committee an explanation of the general financial report given on this page. Stu- (fenti will notice, as Kilday- remarked, that student body financial affairs are in fine condition. Enlargement of the Board of Studenl Control by the addition of nine men through temporary appointment was the result of a motion by Jordan Martinelli. Temporary appointments were given to the following men because the enlargement of the BSC necessitates an amendment to the Student Constitution: Jack Hayes, Bob B undy, Peter A. Smith, Robert Weimann, Neal Johnston, James Sanford, Frank Masten, Walter Johnson, Bill Ed niiston, and John Rossi. Martinelli also informed the committee that an election will fill the vacancy left by Rudy Papale's graduation next month. NO CHANGE NEEDED No constitutional exception will be necessary to change the election procedure, according to the committee report accepted by the members. A slight change in the by-law of the Constitution pertaining to the problem will be presented at next week's session by Don Farbstein. Gerry Kilday subbed for the absent Greg O'Connell in giving a report on the financial results of the French Fandango, which were profitable enough. Father Nagle told committeemen that the Camel cigarette company will appear on the campus today to give each member of the studenl body a free pack of cigarettes with a protective case. IF FACULTY O.K7S There will be another Scabbard and Blade reception on March 17, provided the faculty approves of the holding such an affair on (Continued on Page 4, Col. 2) Shows Corn—iunism's Philosophical Bases The International Relations Club hosted an overflowing audience who came to hear .Mr. Theodore Maekin, S.J., of the Philosophy department speak on "The Philosophical Sources of Communism." Mr. Maekin traced the remote influence on Marx to three general sources: 1. Sociology of France (Comtei 2. Economics of Great Britain iAdam Smith, Mill) 3. Philosophy of Germany tXant, Fitche. Schnelling, Hegel i. Mr. Maekin furthei the major philosophical basis oi communism; first, the philosophy of Nature which interprets matter as developing through evolution by a law of conflict called dialectical materialism; secondly, the philosophy of History which interprets man in a constant struggle of survival, called economic determinism; thirdly, the philosophy of fhe state which interprets the state as the most advanced stage of of the struggle of the material universe; lastly, the philosophy of morality which interprets moral good as anything which furthers the material dialectical process. EARLY HISTOKY Mr. Maekin then spoke of the immediate influences on Marx; gin of the philosophy of communism. "All started with'his lKant'si sincere attempt to save human science from destruction at the hands of the philosophers of his age. But instead of trying to save a science worthy of a child of God, he completely revised that knowledge and eventually destroyed it." Mr. Maekin said, following wiih comprehensive thumbnail sketches of the dilfi- the Hegelianism of tiie Universi- cutties Kant had to encounter, ty of Berlin and the development j and of why he never achieved his developed | of ihe radical neo-Hegelians; goal.

Schnelling. who Maekin said, calling Kanl's philo-1 expands the laws of evolution sophy the first phase of the ori-1 and brings about a notion of the attainment of the absolute thru progress; Hegel, who turns all reality into a dialectical process by making nature a constant state of conflict. The audience, composed of students, faculty members, and guests, gave Mr. Maekin hearty applause for a comprehensive delivery of such a difficult subject. Mr. Maekin invited the audience to ask questions. This was well taken advantage of for there Were many questions. Mr. Maekin is one or the gioltp of faculty speakers wliich have appealed tiiis semester at irtC meetings. The club is devuting the entire school year to the discussion of the defects ot Communism in all its aspects. Most of the work is done by student-reporters, who are supplemented by frequent talks from authorities. 'Best Holiday Entertainment' "For those who are unable to go skiing during the inter- semester holiday, I suggest the Winter Carnival," said George Muldoon, student vice-president and chairman of the refreshment committee. The Carnival, with Winter as its theme, will be held February 7, beginning at 7 p. m., in the Scottish Rite hall, Van Ness and Suiter. It will be informal, siag or drag. Tickets will go on sale Monday at the mam. hall booth, at the price of $1.00 per person. RAILWAY TICKETS They are made in the form of railway tickets just as though the purchaser were traveling to a skiing lodge in the Sierra Ne- vadas, which is what the Scottish Kite hall will look like. Besides admission to the Carnival, the bearer will be entitled to the trip from anywhere in S.F. \o the Scottish Rite, one free refreshment in the "club car," a chance in the game room or Sierra Ne- vadas. and one dance (or skate i on the dance floor lice rink) to the music of Sal Vance. The hall will be open at 7 p.m., and any who wish to arrive early will be entertained well until 9, when the dance begins. Perhaps the biggest feature of the entire Carnival will be the game room, where all the booths, games, and fun will be had for the major ity. The number of booths is uncertain at present, MANY PRIZES SECURED Many prizes have already been secured by the prize committee under the leadership of Terry McGuire. The names of the men on Uie committee are printed here for the benefit of anyone who may wish to aid them in securing a great variety and quantity of prizes. The prize committee includes, besides chairman McGuire, Rod Martinelli, assistant chairman; Jim Ryan, assistant chairman; Pete Smith, Jack Anderson, Jon Ostormeyer, Bill Walters, Jim Durkin, Herb Garcia, Al Ales- sandri, Jack Barrett, Dick Kelly, Paul Thurau, Cookie Kennedy, Dick Raffetto, Brenden Dougherty, Bob Kane, Denny Marinos, Jim Kilday, Don Gordon, Larry Casserly, Sut Chalios, George Snyder, Joe Truzzolino, Don Law rence, Greg O'Connell, Bob Beg ley, Dick Stefani, Bob Mitchell, Archie Crossland, Ken McLennon, and Tim Triggas. SOCIAL LEADER A survey of USF history shows that the Winter Carnival is the the one history-making social that is remembered as really providing something. In pre-war years, it was the great high-light of the Don social season, a gigantic spectacle with everything from soup to nuts, and these all night long. The general chairman. Rudy Papale, and all his assistants are working hard to make this year's Winter Carnival one to be re membered. "Get your tickets soon," Papale warned, "and don't forget that it is going to be INFORMAL!" Holiday Meeting Members of Alpha Sigma Nu, Jesuit Honor Society, will meet during the Inter-semester Holiday according to President Don Farbstein. A night session, with dinner and business meeting following will be the prVigram. Exact date and location of the meeting will lie announced later according to the President. REV. PETER DUNNE, S.J.

Dunne received his doctorate in history. Fr. Dunne h:i* made extensive investigations in South America, Mexico, Central America and the Southwestern United Stales, for his writings.

Temporary appointments were given to the following men because the enlargement of the BSC necessitates an amendment to the Student Constitution: Jack Hayes, Bob B undy, Peter A. Smith, Robert Weimann, Neal Johnston, James Sanford, Frank Masten, Walter Johnson, Bill Ed niiston, and John Rossi. Martinelli also informed the committee that an election will fill the vacancy left by Rudy Papale's graduation next month. NO CHANGE NEEDED No constitutional exception will be necessary to change the election procedure, according to the committee report accepted by the members. A slight change in the by-law of the Constitution pertaining to the problem will be presented at next week's session by Don Farbstein. Gerry Kilday subbed for the absent Greg O'Connell in giving a report on the financial results of the French Fandango, which were profitable enough. Father Nagle told committeemen that the Camel cigarette company will appear on the campus today to give each member of the studenl body a free pack of cigarettes with a protective case.

Mr. Maekin traced the remote influence on Marx to three general sources: 1. Sociology of France (Comtei 2. Economics of Great Britain iAdam Smith, Mill) 3. Philosophy of Germany tXant, Fitche. Schnelling, Hegel i. Mr. Maekin furthei the major philosophical basis oi communism; first, the philosophy of Nature which interprets matter as developing through evolution by a law of conflict called dialectical materialism; secondly, the philosophy of History which interprets man in a constant struggle of survival, called economic determinism; thirdly, the philosophy of fhe state which interprets the state as the most advanced stage of of the struggle of the material universe; lastly, the philosophy of morality which interprets moral good as anything which furthers the material dialectical process. EARLY HISTOKY Mr. Maekin then spoke of the immediate influences on Marx; gin of the philosophy of communism. "All started with'his lKant'si sincere attempt to save human science from destruction at the hands of the philosophers of his age. But instead of trying to save a science worthy of a child of God, he completely revised that knowledge and eventually destroyed it."

The audience, composed of students, faculty members, and guests, gave Mr. Maekin hearty applause for a comprehensive delivery of such a difficult subject. Mr. Maekin invited the audience to ask questions. This was well taken advantage of for there Were many questions. Mr. Maekin is one or the gioltp of faculty speakers wliich have appealed tiiis semester at irtC meetings. The club is devuting the entire school year to the discussion of the defects ot Communism in all its aspects. Most of the work is done by student-reporters, who are supplemented by frequent talks from authorities. 'Best Holiday Entertainment' "For those who are unable to go skiing during the inter- semester holiday, I suggest the Winter Carnival," said George Muldoon, student vice-president and chairman of the refreshment committee. The Carnival, with Winter as its theme, will be held February 7, beginning at 7 p. m., in the Scottish Rite hall, Van Ness and Suiter. It will be informal, siag or drag. Tickets will go on sale Monday at the mam. hall booth, at the price of $1.00 per person. RAILWAY TICKETS They are made in the form of railway tickets just as though the purchaser were traveling to a skiing lodge in the Sierra Ne- vadas, which is what the Scottish Kite hall will look like. Besides admission to the Carnival, the bearer will be entitled to the trip from anywhere in S.F. \o the Scottish Rite, one free refreshment in the "club car," a chance in the game room or Sierra Ne- vadas. and one dance (or skate i on the dance floor lice rink) to the music of Sal Vance. The hall will be open at 7 p.m., and any who wish to arrive early will be entertained well until 9, when the dance begins. Perhaps the biggest feature of the entire Carnival will be the game room, where all the booths, games, and fun will be had for the major ity.

SOCIAL LEADER A survey of USF history shows that the Winter Carnival is the the one history-making social that is remembered as really providing something. In pre-war years, it was the great high-light of the Don social season, a gigantic spectacle with everything from soup to nuts, and these all night long. The general chairman. Rudy Papale, and all his assistants are working hard to make this year's Winter Carnival one to be re membered. "Get your tickets soon," Papale warned, "and don't forget that it is going to be INFORMAL!"
