Campus Club Reports By JACK RIORDAN The College Players as a club are setting out on a revamping of their organizational structure. They are drawing up a new constitution which will be submitted to the members for ratification at the next meeting. The time and place for this meeting is as yet unknown. At their last meeting elections were held for the coming academic year. The results were as follows: Bill Gargan, president; Joe Laherty, vice-president, and Bob Begley, secretary-treasurer. Bill Gargan, the perennial president of this club, announces that along with the elimination of the operational obstacles, many needed improvements which will be attained by the constitutional revising. A membership drive is also underway. All students of the University are eligible and invited to join. ST. IVES CLUB Die Gravelle, president of the St. Ives, invites all juniors and seniors who may be interested in joining this organization to inquire into its purpose, working and theory. The law club was founded in 1934. According to J. Russell Berti, club moderator, new members will be accepted only on a probationary basis. Mr. Berti wishes to make it clear that "the limited number of vacancies should not prohibit anyone from seeking membership. Every prospective member will be given the entire probationary period to prove his acceptability." Candidates for the organization must "evince an interest in the law, but need not be pre-legal students. The purpose of the organization is to get men together who are interested in law, its study and development." "Candidates who show an interest in the law, attend meetings regularly, and successfully complete the probationay period will be admitted as regular members," concluded Chancellor Gravelle.

Although Dick O'Brien held a substantial lead during the first few hours, the sophomore class president was able to overcome the deficiency and gain the deciding margin as the polls closed at 1:30 p.m. in the lounge: 246-244.

Students and their guests are invited to attend. year played an important factor in his triumph. The victor is a former prefect of the University's Sodality of Our Lady, and a leading member of the Philhistorian Debating Society, having represented the University in the Hearst Oratorical Contest held last night. During the past he has been active on student committees concerning President's Day, Father and Sons' Night, the Winter Carnival, the Soph Drag, and the Frosh Fandango. MARGIN LACKING In the regular election held May 4, Duffy led the field of three with 325, while Dick O'Brien, his run-off opponent, held 308. Peter Wall, the third candidate, gained 192 votes. A margin of 412 was needed to take the majority, and the run-off between Duffy and O'Brien was therefore called by the Board of Student Control. Because of the many activities in which he participated, Duffy was rated the pre-election favorite by the majority of students in a FOGHORN poll. Very few contemplated the tight race which resulted. LOST FOR WORDS The newly elected officer stated: "For the first time that I know, I am lost for words. However, I do wish to thank the students for choosing me as their social leader for next year. I also wish to offer my sincere gratitude to my campaign leaders for the aid." O'Brien, who is active in the Scabbard and Blade and the Irish Club, gained strong support through his platform of reactivating all dormant clubs about the campus. The losing candidate, in an interview, offered his congratulations to his victorious opponent and thanked his student backers for the support that brought him within the shadow of the vice-president's position. The results of the runoff were in complete contrast to the president's race which saw Larry Lawson swept into office with a margin of 500 votes. "Civil Rights" Is Topic For Flaherty Debate The annual Father Flaherty Award will be presented to the individual and team winners in the Public Debate and Forum to be held in the University Auditorium May 16 at 8:30. Three men on each side will debate the question: "Truman's Civil Rights Program Should Be Adopted." Jack Hayes, Gene Gartland and George Lee will take the affirmative, and Herold Brown, Robert Colthrust and Frank Driscoll will assume the negative position. A gift of an alumnus, the Award carries a stipend of $50 to the individual winner and $30 to the victorious team. Judging the contest will be Drs. Victor M. Dillon, James McGinnis and Edmund J. Morrissey. Last year's individual winner, Jerry Kilroy, will act as chairman. Attendance of the entire student body is invited. After the formal debate questions will be put from the floor. Special emphasis will be on Jim Crow laws, lynching, voting rights, employment and allied subjects. The Public Debate will conclude the year's activities of the Philhistorian Society. Brochure on Sale An attractive souvenir booklet commemorating the U.S.F. champion basketball team is now on sale at the University book store and at the University's downtown office, 100 Hobart Building. The brochure tells the story of the Dons' most successful season in 20 years, with special emphasis on their "Cinderella" conquest of the favored teams at Madison Square Garden. A special feature of the book is a squad picture with autographs. Be There Terrace Room of Hotel Fairmont-Senior Ball The windy heights of California Street, in the Terrace Room of the Fairmont Hotel, will be the spot for last class social of the year, the Senior Ball, this Saturday evening, May 14. There amid the musical strains of Vince Raff's orchestra, on the waxen floors of the Terrace Room with its lending romantic atmosphere, the Class of '49 will dance for the last time in a school function as members of the student body. ♦ This farewell is open to the entire student body.

International Relations Club in the Semeria Room Monday night. On the third ballot Harry Murphy was named to head the club's work for the fall term, and Henry Hough was elected secretary by acclamation. Frank Shaw and Jim Triggas are the outgoing officers. For several weeks a discussion meeting on Greece has been pending, and it finally took place that night. It came as the end of a series begun last fall of round-table talks on contemporary problems of international relations. Henry Hough opened with a brief review of the history of modern Greece, particularly with respect to the Communist problem in that nation. His remarks were a fundamental basis for the further discussion of the problem. Aspects of the present situation were the subject for George Joseph's talk. That Greece's problems are both internal and external, and some solution must be found soon for them, was his theme. Though the attending group was small, the discussion was lively and interesting. Mr. Robert MacKenzie, moderator of the club, presented his views on the question; and Bob Gogin read excerpts of a research paper of Mr. Anthony Bouscaren with regards to the United Nations' Investigating Committee for Greece. Senior Class Book AU the Seniors are asked to pay their assessment for the Class Book by Thursday, May 19. John Hale, president of the Senior Class, reminds the Seniors that all the returns on the deposit of the book will be the determining factor for the production of the book for this class. In short, if you do not pay now, there will not be any class book. You as a Senior of the Class of '49 are urgently requested to make your deposit as soon as possible. It is a matter of time now.

At the same meeting the organization's incumbent officers were reinstalled for next year. Mrs. Edward Molkenbuhr is the president of the group. The Loyola Guild is composed of mothers, relatives and friends of the students of the University of San Francisco and St. Ignatius High School. Its objects are to assist the educational work of the Jesuit Fathers, to assist the students in social functions, and to build up the Loyola Guild Scholarship Fund. It was toward this latter purpose that the donations of last December and last week were given. The winter donations amounted to $1,500. During the past year and in former years the Guild has been a particularly helpful organization to the University.

THANKS, DONS Fellow Dons: I would like to give sincerest thanks for the confidence and support given me in the recent election. We have a great student body, and I promise to work my hardest to get it the various school affairs which it deserves and wants. To Bill Nowak for being such a good loser and the first to offer me his assistance, my thanks. I am sure, with the help of such fellows as Bill, and all other Dons, we can achieve much during this coming year. The other officers elected, I am sure, will prove hard workers who will devote all time necessary to advance the interests of you, the students, and the University. We officers will greatly appreciate all ideas, criticism or help from any of the student body which will work in the interest of the school. Again, on behalf of all incoming officers, I want to express appreciation to the student body for the trust you have placed in us. We will endeavor at all times to live up to this honor. LARRY LAWSON. Msgr. Collins to Bless Site Ceremonies to Begin at 1 p.m. Glee Club Will Render Songs The soul of many a departed Jesuit administrator and builder will be smiling on the University of San Francisco campus this coming Sunday afternoon some few minutes after 1:00 p.m. when Rev. William J. Dunne, S.J., president, turns the first bit of earth to inaugurate the building of the Richard A. Gleeson memorial library. It will be a moment longed-for during forty-three long years, since the April 18 of 1906 when a growing St. Ignatius college in downtown San Francisco went down in rubble and ashes with the rest of a stricken city. Since that time there have been 21 years of severe frugality in a converted factory, and 22 brighter years on the present site when many plans were laid and developed, only to be cut short by depression and war. But the day of requital for Jesuits, students, alumni and friends without number will be the day-after-tomorrow, and it leads the way into an era of physical expansion that will begin with the Gleeson library, and continue as rapidly as financing will allow through gymnasium, student residence, science building, law building, faculty building and student union. A full procession of Jesuit and lay faculty members in academic garb will assemble in the liberal arts building at 12:30 p.m. and will proceed at 1:00 to the site of the ground-breaking. . _fcrf_ There the ceremonies will be introduced by an invocation by the rector of the Jesuit community, Rev. Carroll M. O'Sullivan, S.J. Following this will be a selection by the University glee club under the direction of Mr. Arthur McCue. Father Dunne will deliver a welcoming address to the participants and guests of the ceremonies; and after a second selection by the glee club, Mr. James Farraher, alumnus, a member of the University Board of Regents and distinguished member of the San Francisco bar, will deliver the keynote address of the day. Rt. Rev. Msgr. Harold Collins will bless the site of the ground-breaking, and Father Dunne will then turn the first portion of earth with a shovel once belonging to the Wells-Fargo Co., a relic of gold-rush days. At the same time, in the present University library, library architect, Milton T. Pflueger, will give a technical explanation of the Gleeson library from a constructor's viewpoint, using the recently exhibited model of the library. Rev. William T. Monihan, S.J., University librarian will follow him vvith a like explanation from the vantage point of a librarian. Philippine Nite, May 21, Will End Spring Social Semester Concert Is Musical Success U.S.F. has more reason than one to be proud of its gifted young musical director, J. Arthur McCue. Not only has he breathed iife into our dormant music wing, but he has done so with solid musicianship and balanced good taste. "Chief" McCue and his "tribe," on Saturday night last, proved themselves genuinely talented and full of surprises to a packed auditorium. Mr. McCue was kept busy for more than two hours, shaking these ivyless walls with daring variety. From the Glee Club he extracted such timeless Americana as "Old Folks at Home," "When Johnny Comes Marching Home," "Steal Away" and "Night and Day." Perhaps the only criticism that can be made of the Glee Club is that it needs more voices and more time to practice. This comment, however, is not directed at Mr. McCue, but rather at the student body. For this, along with a dozen other school functions, needs more support and better facilities. Nevertheless, limited by both quantity and quality, Mr. McCue came up with two hours of warm and sparkling music. The trombone quartette was a clever idea, but it requires either the trombone section from the N.B.C. Symphony or six weeks of earnest rehearsing. Neither of these were present. Art McCue was not merely content to direct the Glee Club during the course of the evening, but chose also to seat himself at one of the pair of Steinways provided for the occasion. He presented both a solo group and some very original duo-piano work, with Al Arriola at the other keyboard. In his solo group, Mr. McCue managed to make the Debussy Engulfed Cathedral sound like De bussy. This is no easy task for even the best of pianists. It requires more from the pedals than it does from the hands. Both of these works demand more than a few piano lessons. Mr. McCue has had them. For the duo-piano group, Mr. McCue was ably assisted by Al Arriola, whose talented fingers have been associated with this campus for a good many years. Together they thundered their way through the "G Minor Prelude" of Rachmaninoff, the "Ritual Fire Dance" and a too- sugary "Clair de Lune." <& Meetings, meetings, and more meetings, and then worry about talent, have slowly passed as the Philippine Club and their participants rehearse to produce "A Philippine Night," which tends to add another flag to the many successes of the University of San Francisco and its student body during the year 1949. The entire program, which will start at 7:45 p.m. next Saturday, May 21, will close the activities of the current spring semester. The program will consist of: 1. A welcoming address by Joaquin Arago, president of the Philippine Club. 2. A piano recital by Miss Rebecca Austria. 3. An address by Mr. Charles C. Miller, a prominent authority on trade with the Philippines. 4. Three Philippine folk dances: the Salikut, the graceful hat-dance; the Carinosa, a dance performed by five couples; the Tinikling, the fast and rhythmically Bamboo dance. 5. An address by Mr. George M. Mann, a well - known personage around the Bay Area for his knowledge of the theater and stage. 6. A vocal rendition by Mr. Al Carbrera. 7. A Fashion Show, consisting of an historical album of Philippine costumes. The music, in the background, is the original arrangement of Professor Calixto R. Llamos, composer of many modern and folk songs. Mrs. Estrela R. Sulit will describe each model and her costume. 8. An address by the guest of honor, Judge Roberto Regala, Consulate General, Philippine Consul in San Francisco. 9. The program will end with a few remarks by Fr. Gerald Nagle, S.J., Moderator of the Philippine Club. William Jones will act as master of ceremonies for the night. DANCING UNTIL 12 All participants of the night will act as hosts and hostesses, and the color of their costumes should blend in with the theme of the program, Hospitality. TWINS TO STUDENT Mr. and Mrs. Allen Crow were blessed with twin girls last Sunday at Peralta Hospital in Oakland. Carolyn Virginia and Susan McClure arrived at 5:32 p.m. and 5:39 p.m., just seven minutes apart, weighing 7 pounds 9 ounces and 6 pounds 6 ounces, respectively.
