Foghorn Archives John Muir's journal is one of the rare books that USF aims to protect by renovating the Donahue Rare Book Room. Donahue Rare Book Room seeks to raise $1 million for renovations; students and alumni expected to donate funds NICHOLAS MUKHAR StaffWriter The University of San Francisco's Donahue Rare Book Room is not in danger of being closed and no current items have been identified as potential items to be auctioned off, according to Gleeson Library Dean Tyrone Cannon, who called the room "an indefinite part of the library." Speaking on behalf of the University, Cannon said USF has tentatively set a January 2010 deadline to raise $1 million to renovate the Rare Book Room, a task even more daunting than it sounds because most of the university's fundraising dollars will be poured into constructing the new Harney Science Center. Cannon said the university is "flexible" in its January deadline and will continue the fundraising further into the year if the goal looks attainable. If it does not appear that the university is able to raise the needed funds, USF will go ahead with only "necessary" renovations identified by the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees and leave repairs such as new lighting, carpeting and shelving out of the plan. He did not specify which repairs were necessary. Cannon said that fundraising for the Rare Book Room, which has been a part of the Gleeson library since the 1970s, is in the "strategy phase," and initial ideas include reaching out to donors and students, specifically those in the humanities, and applying for the annual National Endowment Humanities Grant. Selling items from the room is not part of the plan at this point. USF's current position on the room's items is a reversal from their initial stance in April, when University President Rev. Stephen Privett S.J., who in July signed off on this latest fundraising initiative, told the Foghorn that USF was sifting through university assets and identifying expendable items to be sold in the event SEPTEMBER 10, 2009 of an economic emergency. Some of the identified items were from the Rare Book Room. This policy, along with the auctioning off of a collection of prints by Renaissance artist Albrecht Durer earlier this i year, prompted a strong rebuttal from a group of USF professors, who wrote letters to the administration in an attempt to stop the school from auctioning off any more of the room's items. USF history professor Martin Claussen, a member of the aforementioned faculty group, said he has no knowledge of USF planning to sell any more items from the Rare Book Room. Claussen is also a member of the Faculty Advisory Committee, a joint committee of administrators and faculty in support of the preservation of the room's items. He has been working closely with Cannon on the Rare Book Room preservation project and from the beginning has spoken out against selling items from the room, a move he called "odd" earlier this year in questioning the logic behind selling items from the room to pay for its' renovations. According to Cannon, the Durer prints were auctioned off for a total of 160,000. This earning will count as part of the $1 million total USF aims to raise, though the prints were auctioned off before the fundraising initiative was introduced. Any money raised is not subject to income tax, according to USF's Vice President of Business and Finance Charles Cross, who said the university is exempt from income tax for activities related to its exempt purpose, and these activities fall within this exemption. Cannon said there are "core items" that cannot be sold from the room, and Head of the Donahue Rare Book Room John Hawk identified some of those items as the original copy of the first edition of "Mores Utopia," by English Renaissance writer Thomas More, and original works by Eric Gill, a late 19th century and early 20th century British sculptor, typeface designer, stonecutter and printmaker. Hawk BOOKS : Continued on Page 2 New Cafe Offers Organic Food, Late Hours, Breakfast All Day SAMMI SUMAMPONG StaffWriter Although Outtahere, the new cafe, has only been open for two weeks, manager Steve Karuntzos said there have been "plenty of compliments" because of the all-day breakfast. He added that "feedback is amazing, and there is more to come." Outtahere is the all organic cafe that occupies the space that was previously held by Jamba Juice. Holly Winslow, the director of Bon Appetit Services at USF, conceptualized the idea, and the cafe is managed by Karuntzos, the manager of Outtakes. According to Winslow, Bon Appetit did not renew Jamba Juice's contract because they wanted to make smoothies that came from fresh fruits instead of the frozen fruit smoothies that Jamba Juice sold. Winslow said, "Nutritional content from our fresh fruit smoothies is way better than the nutritional content from Jamba Juice." Winslow has a two fold vision for Outtahere. It is a cafe that is open late and also one that serves organic food. Winslow said, "It's convenient for students who are studying late into the night, and for students who are coming late."The cafe incorporates breakfast all day seven days a week, late night dining, and a convenience store. Winslow adds that there will be a twist on breakfast, such as burger breakfast, which is an English muffin with fried egg, bacon and avocado. Winslow said she went to the student senate, conducted a survey on what students wanted from their dining experiences and received 800 responses. From these responses, she created a cafe that incorporated what the students wanted. "My favorite aspect [of Outtahere], is the whole thing," said Winslow. She said, "The products are 100% natural and our items you won't get at Market, Outtakes, the law school and Club Ed." She also added that she felt she listened to her customers, the student body, and responded accordingly. Sophomore Kaity Hayashi said, "I really like how things are so much healthier and organic, and there is so much variety. So it's really cool to come here and always have something to eat." When asked if she misses Jamba Juice, she said "Not really. I worked at Jamba Juice for a long time. A lot of us never came in here anyways-now that this happens, a lot of my friends come here all the time." Kirsten Irvin, a graduate student in the MBA program, said that she finds Outtahere different from the other cafes on campus because it is "unique and trendy. I'm glad that it's here." Outtahere is operating under a soft opening while they make minor adjustments to best suit students. Karuntzos worked until 2:00 in the morning and received a lot of feedback on what the students like and what they don't like. He said "Even our shelves are natural products, they are made from bamboo." The grand opening for Outtahere will be in two weeks, and Winslow plans on serving free breakfast all day in the hallway of UC 100. Outtahere Hours of Operation Mon - TKurs: 7a.m.-2a.m. Fri - Sun: 10a.m.-2a.m. Fiddling Around the U.S. Freshman travels with family band Courtesy of Kyle O'Brien Freshman Kyle O'Brien begins school at USF with a rich musical background. ILYSE LIFFREING StaffWriter Passing students around the USF campus is like passing volumes of books—each come with their own stories. As if graduating from high school with a 4.0 grade point average and appearing on an episode of Trading Spouses weren't enough, freshman Kyle O'Brien's unique story includes touring the United States with his family's bluegrass band. O'Brien grew up in Evergreen, Colorado, where as a 7-year-old he wanted one thing: a fiddle. Since taking up his favorite instrument, he traveled in his family's band for eight years. He first began singing with his father to songs like "Why Don't You Love Me" and "Hey Good Lookin'"by Hank Williams. Comprised of his mother on bass, his father on guitar and vocals, his sister on the fiddle and vocals, and himself on the fiddle, mandolin, guitar, and vocals, the O'Brien family band soon gained the reputation as "the family that entertains families." O'Brien and his family have traveled to over 41 states, as well as to Mexico, per forming bluegrass music to eager crowds at various festival circuits. These locations include Nebraska, Kansas, New Orleans, New York, California and Chicago. Janette O'Brien, Kyle's mother, said of the family's journeys, "Each place has its own character, history, and great people. We've had a ball meeting people and making friends around the U.S." Thus O'Brien's parents were not surprised to learn that their son was set on attending a diverse school like USF. In addition to their instrumental talents, both O'Brien and his sister are accomplished yodelers.The siblings won The Western Music Association's International Youth Yodeling Championship. O'Brien has created his own CD entitled "Kyle's Big Hit."His other awards include a scholarship to mandolin camp at the Oklahoma International Bluegrass Festival in 2004 and he won the first place fiddler in the Ainsworth Nebraska Country Music Festival in 2005. Of his music taste, O'Brien said, "I really like rockabilly, people like Buddy Holly, Ricky Nelson, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley. Although I never got to meet Ronnie Dawson, I was able to talk with him over the telephone before he died^ I think Gene Vincent is really cool too." O'Brien is majoring in politics and minor- ing in music. It was not easy for him to move away from his family as well as another band, The Bluegrass Quartet, that he was involved in. Outside of music, O'Brien's interests include: baseball, announcing and girls. He is also part of the Saint Ignatius Institute. Although he is in a different atmosphere, O'Brien plans to create a bluegrass band and start a bluegrass radio show in San Francisco. He would also like to start a yodeling class. On choosing USF O'Brien said, "I came because I wanted to expand musically and as a person. San Francisco' offered both."
