for bed-rock and seepage conditions under the direction of Mr.
Milton T. Pflueger, architect. Following this came a thorough re-
surveying of campus topography
from Parker Avenue on the western extremity to Masonic on the
east. The engineers completing
this work during the week, Dec.
26 • Jan. 2 were also working under contract with Architect Pflueger.
Approximately seven borings
were made in that part of the
campus squared off by the juncture of Golden Gate and Parker
avenues, with the explored area
extending approximately 250 feet

Interesting topographical data
brought to light were the sound-

of the Gleeson Library proportions. A sounding to the same
depth on the western extremity
reached serpentine stratum. But
40 feel of penetration in the cen

sand. This led engineers to conclude that said area is an artificial fill, nrobably an heir to the
construction days of St. Ignatius
Church, 1912'17. No serious nrob-

this condition.

Juniors Join
Pi Sigma Alpha
The Omega chapter of Pi Sigma Alpha, National Political
Science Honor Fraternity, held
its second meeting of the semester on January 5, for the initiation of new members.
The faculty of the Political
Science Deoartment aw'rf""
the names of Juniors majoring in
Political Science who were chosen
by virtue of their- scholarship, interest and leader-ship, to join the
Ji.iega Chapter:
Frank C. Vorsafz
James R. McAdam
Frank W. Shaw
John J. Mahoney
Distinction To Belong
Membership in the fraternity is
considered an honor of distinction,
since Pi Sigma Alpha is the only
honor fraternity in the United
States in the political field.
It boasts a membership of outstanding people in the field of
political science, and has, during
its history, promoted scholarship
and leadership in all aspects of
the Political Sciences.
12 Years Old
Omega Chapter was established
at the University of San Francisco in 1937. But due first to
personnel changes in th Department, and later World War II, the
local chapter had been inactive
until last year.
Under the able direction and
counseling of Mr. Alexander
Smetana, moderator of the Omega Chapter, fraternity members
have embarked on a cooperative
undertaking which aims to stimulate opinions and discussions on
matters politic.
Ultimately these views and
opinions will be translated by the
members into articles treating of
current national and international
situations which have a relationship with this field of study.
