NSLI Dividend
Scale Announced
Veterans who participated in the
special National Service Life Insurance are due for their dividends,
the VA announced. Sums, none to
exceed $528, will be computed at
a monthly rate of $.55 per $1,000
of insurance. This will be based only
on the period that the policy was in
force prior to 1948, with periods of
lapse strictly excluded. Term and
converted policies will be judged the
same, as the dividend is based on
mortality savings. There are no excess interest earnings.
According to Carl Gray, VA
Administrator, standard insurance
policies were followed, whereby dividends represent a return to the insured of the excess of premiums paid
over the amounts required to pay
claims and set up the necessary
reserves. The resulting amount may
not in all cases be proportional to the
premium paid.
The maximum $528 payment was
computed on a $10,000 policy in force
for 96 months, on a veteran aged 40
or less at the time the policy was
taken out.
McKEE, KENNEY ON BOARD
Jim Kenney, C.I.C. Representative, and Ken McKee, Junior Class
President, were named as members
of Finance Committee at Tuesday's
meeting of the Exec. Council.

FATHER SUVER TO LEAD
RETREAT FOR CATHOLICS
Rev. Charles Suver, S. J., and
Rev. Francis Toner. S. J., will
direct the annual students' retreat this year.
Father Suver has had long experience in teaching and mission work.
As a scholastic and priest, he taught
at Seattle Preparatory in Seattle. He
later was engaged in missionary
work until the United States entered
World War II.
One of the first to heed the call
for chaplains, Father Suver served
with the Fifth Marines for 30 months.
He landed with his unit on lwo Jima
and said Mass on Mt. Suribachi right
after the memorable flag-raising. Joe
Rosenthal, U.S.F. alumnus, shot a
picture of Father Suver saying Mass,
which was widely circulated in American newspapers (see picture, this
page). After his chaplain period,
Father Suver attended the Catholic
University of America in preparation for his mission work.
Father Toner likewise comes to the
retreat with a great background of
experience. He has taught for many
years, and for the last seven years
has been associated vvith Father
Suver in mission work. Father Toner
has long been interested in social
problems, having actively assisted in
the compilation of the Sociology
textbook now being used at U.S.F.
Both Father Suver and Father
Toner are in great demand for retreats and missions on the Pacific
Coast. They are at present scheduled
for missions two years in advance.

COUNSELLOR ANNOUNCES
RETREAT PROCEDURE
Next Tuesday, U.S.F. students will lay down their books
and extracurricular activities to
concentrate for three short days
on the state of their souls. The annual student retreat begins Tuesday
morning and ends on Friday morning after the annual Mass of the
Holy Spirit.
Rev. Raymond McGrorey, S.J-,
chief student counselor, announced
this week that the University has
obtained the services of two outstanding veteran retreat masters
from the Oregon Province of the
Society of Jesus. Their names are
Rev. Charles Suver, S.J., and Rev.
Francis Toner, S.J. Father Suver
will direct the retreat for Catholics
with services held in the Church.
Father Toner will conduct the retreat exercises for non-Catholics in
the University Auditorium.
Father McGrorey stated that the
schedule of exercises would be the
same as last year (see schedule on
this page). Catholics begin their
daily order at 8 a.m. Mass in the
University Church, after which there
will be a conference. There will be a
free-time period after the conference
for reflection and prayer. The students will again assemble in the
Church at 9:45 for the Rosary and
a conference. At 11 there will be
stations of the Cross and the final
conference for the day.
The schedule for non - Catholics
begins at 9 a.m. with a conference
in the Auditorium. There follows a
free-time period, and the final conference at 10:15 a.m.

Lawson Appoints
Publicity Board
One of the student body's first
semester problems was solved by
the Executive Council when Larry
Lawson, A.S.U.S.F. President, announced the formation of a General
Publicity Committee under the
chairmanship of Bill Nowak. The
committee, to be composed of thirty
to forty U.S-.F. students, was organized after several attempts to promote known and unknown student
activities.
IRC Hears Informative
Talk By Fr. Brannigan
A ruddy, bearded clergyman with
an Irish name and a crisp English
accent faced the initial meeting of
the IRC Monday night. His name:
Father Fionan C. Brannigan, S.J.
His occupation: a priest of the Byzantine Rite. Drawing a grim parallel between the energy of the East
and the lassitude of the West, Father
Brannigan predicted remarkable
changes in the ethnological make-up
of Europe. England is degenerating
into a one-child family nation, while
the Russian peoples grow in numbers with geometric rapidity. By the
close of the twentieth century, the
guest speaker predicted, the peoples
of Europe will be 90 per cent Slavic.
Thc balance of power is shifting; old
cultures arc decaying. All of which
brings to a focus the particular, personal reason for the Irish-born
Jesuit's transference to the Russian
Catholic Rite. He sees in the youth
of Russia power that might conquer
Eurasia by sheer numbers and vitality. Father Brannigan wants those
conquerors to be Christians.
First interested in Russia as a
child, Father Brannigan left his native Ireland for the English Province
of the Society of Jesus. He never
quite forgot his interest in Eastern
civilization. A call from Pope Pius
XI for volunteers to the Byzantine
Rite was answered by Catholic
priests throughout the world, among
them the Rev. Fionan Brannigan,
S,J.
This was not the first time that
Jesuit interests were deeply involved
with the affairs of Russia. In 1773
the promulgation of the Papal Bull
suppressing the Society of Jesus was
carried out successfully throughout
all of Europe except Russia.
Now, two hundred years later,
men like Father Brannigan devote
themselves once more to the spiritual mission to Moscow.
Death Probe Aired
BSC Reveals
New Policy
FELLOW DONS:
The duty of the Board of Student
Control is to enforce student regulations set down by the Faculty and
Executive Committee of the University. To further the best interest of
the University, the wholehearted cooperation of each of you is of the
utmost importance. As gentlemen of
the University of San Francisco we
know we can count on you for your
individual support.
We do not believe the regulations
set down are too much to ask you to
help us carry out. It should not be
necessary to mention to an individual on the campus, "You cannot park
here," or "Please do not smoke in
the hall," or "Why didn't you attend
convocation?" Your sense of responsibility to the University should
forestall an imposed fine for breaking the above rules. For the few who
break the rules, the policy will be
firm.
We   are   open   to   suggestions   or
constructive  criticism  for  improvement in the performance of our duty.
CONRAD X. MIZER,
Chairman, Board of
Student Control.
BUS AD PLANNING
BUSINESS CONFERENCE
The Business Administration College is now laying plans for its second annual Business Conference to
be held some time next spring. The
faculty committee has been formed
under Mr. Roberts. Students who
are interested in participating in the
planning and organization of the
conference are urged to contact Mr.
Roberts. . . . "The College of Business Administration especially desires student participation in the
planning of the conference," announced Dean Hall this week.
Is Secretary Guilty
Or Did Magnate Leap?
By SCHYLER MASON
The FOGHORN disclosed this
week that Mr. Bjorn Faulkner, noted
New York financier found dead at
the base of the Faulkner Building
last January, had been shot through
the chest before he leaped (or was
thrown) from his penthouse apartment.
This evidence, disclosed to a
FOGHORN reporter by Dr.
Thomas Kirkland, County Medical
Examiner of New York, promises to
have great effect on the trial of Miss
Karen Andre for the murder of
Faulkner when the case opens next
month in the Superior Court of California. This trial has received little
attention from downtown newspapers here because it has been generally believed that Faulkner committed suicide following the collapse
of his business organization. It was
expected that Miss Andre, his secretary,  would  be  cleared  easily, pos
sibly before the case came to court.
Previous to the recent disclosure,
the only evidence against Miss Andre indicated that she had been seen
struggling with Faulkner a moment
before the fall from the seven-story
building. Mr. Homer Van Fleet,
private investigator who witnessed
the incident from an adjacent building, claimed at the inquest that Miss
Andre pushed Faulkner. However,
there were reasons to believe that
Van Fleet was under the influence
of liquor at the time, and Miss Andre's story that she was struggling
to keep Faulkner from jumping was
generally accepted.
In answer to a long-distance telephone call at his New York office,
District Attorney John G. Flint refused to confirm or deny Dr. Kirk-
land's statement. He admitted, however, that a second inquest will be
held next Wednesday at which further evidence is likely to appear.
Newsmen will be excluded from the
inquest, but the FOGHORN promises its readers the fullest possible
coverage.
Debaters Meet Mon.
Meetings next Monday will mark
the beginning of the debating year
for the University's two organizations, announced Philhistorian Moderator Mr. Burke, S.J., today. Interest in debating, for the most part
dormant during the war years, was
predicted to increase with the return
of increased enrollments.
The two traditional organizations
are divided according to experience.
The Gavel, Moderator Fr. Bain, S.J.,
stated, will be devoted to students
with no experience. It will meet at
1 p.m. in H-16 and bi-monthly thereafter.
Education Club Meets
The Education Club of the University held its first meeting of the
current semester last night. The club
is the campus chapter of the California Student Teachers' Assn.. an affiliate of the California Teachers' Assn.
The club has two main purposes: to
establish professional zeal and enthusiasm among education students and
to stimulate teaching as a career.
Official Note
Attendance at the traditional
student retreat is mandatory.
Catholic students will attend the
retreat exercises in the University
church. Non-Catholic students will
attend a series of lectures in the
University auditorium.
Convocation numbers (that is,
the numbers on the student body
cards) will be checked by members of the Board of Student Control at all sessions.
Absence from the retreat without adequate excuse is subject to
the severest penalties, and none
but the undersigned may excuse
from any exercise of the retreat.
R. T. FEELY, S.J,
Dean of Faculties.
PSYCH TALK BY FR. KRAUSE
The Psychology Club this week
invited all stude'nts interested in becoming members of this organization
to attend its first meeting on October 11 in the Semeria Room at 7:45.
A tentative speaker will be Rev.
Lawrence Krause, Ph.D., a graduate
of the Catholic University of America in Washington, D. C. He will
speak on the function of psychology
in modern family life of special interest to the married men on the
campus.
Other functions are planned for
the year, such as field trips to Napa,
Agnews and San Quentin. Club
members will be given preference in
being admitted to these tours, after
which interested students may apply.
