G0T0NI6HTATDRAKE 9 a. m. Mass Each Week-Day During Holy Year Jfrancts-co Jfogfjorn OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE ASSOCIATED STUDENTS UNIVERSITY OF SAN FRANCISCO No Smoking In Classrooms or Corridors VOLUME 38 SAN FRANCISCO, MARCH 17, 1950 NUMBER 21 \1 You Cant Take It With You'' Slated Auditions Being Held; Plan Extensive Use of New Talent By S. SCHYLER MAISON The College Players are holding auditions this week for their last major production of the season, the delightfully zany farce, "You Can't Take It With You." Casting for the Kauffman-Hart comedy, one of the most popular of the American stage, will be concluded this evening at 8:00 p. m. in the auditorium; there is still plenty of time to try out, since none of the parts have^ yet been fiilled. Director Stuart Bennett sent out a special invitation for newcomers— experienced or not—to attend casting tonight. "We have a great many excellent parts, both 'character' and 'straight' in this show," said Mr. Bennett, "and we plan to make extensive use of new people." Due to the unusual nature of this play, almost all the parts offer broad opportunities for characterization. For "You Can't Take It With You" deals with the antics of a highly unusual—to put it mildly—American family, the lovable Sycamores. Each of them does exactly what he or she best likes, without bothering about conventions or the opinion of others. Penny Sycamore, for example, has been writing plays for eight years— ever since a typewriter was delivered by mistake at the Sycamore home. Little Mr. DePinna has devoted his life to manufacturing home-made fireworks in the basement. Paul Sycamore prints anything he can think of on his own press—including the daily menus of the Sycamore family. Ed likes to play Beethoven on the xylophone. In the midst of this merry hubbub sits the inperturbable Grampa Vanderhof, who left a profitable business many years ago after discovering that he didn't like it, and spent the rest of his life doing things he wanted to do —including attending Commencement Exercises at Columbia every year to listen to the funny speeches. There are a number of equally lovable and unconventional people in this play, including the flamboyant Russian ballet dancer, played so effectively in the movie version by Mischa Auer. "You Can't Take It With You" is scheduled for April 19, 20, 21, 22. Law School Briefs By HERB BROWN SIMPSON REPORT Another meeting of the alumni faculty will be held next Wednesday evening, March 22, to finish the discussion on points of agenda concerning the "Simpson Report."

Slattery, "Lost Souls." Introductory remarks were presented by William Duffy, winner of last year's Luckmann award. Judges for the contest were the Hon. William T. Sweigert, AB.,LL.B., Mr. Robert L. McCarthy, Jr., AB., LL.B., and Mr. Stanley Walsh, B.S., LL.B. The annual award is the gift of Lloyd D. Luckmann, A.B., LL.B., in memory of his father, the late Henry C. Luckmann. Flaherty Topic Readied Compulsory loyalty oaths for state college faculty members is the subject for the Flaherty debate. This controversial subject was picked by a conference of debate team members and the moderator of the Philhistorians, Mr. Burke, S.J. William Duffy, Norm Adler and Gerry Dalton will defend the affirmative position against the attack of John Delury, Cy Beattie and Joe Giuffre, who represent the negative. Ron Miguel, winner of the Luckmann contest will act as chairman for the debate. All the debaters are experienced, having had one or more terms with the Philhistorian Debating Society. Both sides are now preparing their cases. In Bill Duffy's opinion "The loyalty oaths are vital tp the country," while Delury holds that "they are an abomination to free men." The Flaherty debate will take place in the auditorium on Tuesday, March 28, at 8:30 p. m. All are invited. Senior Brochures Wanted Now Frank Sunderbruch, Placement Bureau head, announced today that the final deadline for senior brochures is May 1. These brochures are being processed on a first-come, first- serve, basis, and the late filers will suffer. Employers are even now demanding brochures for review of June graduates. Mr. Sunderbruch stated that he does not intend to harry those who have not made their papers available to him—sufficient notice has been given to introduce the sincere members of the senior class to the opportunities offered under the brochure system. Information and applications are available for summer jobs in the Park service. These jobs are of various types and in different localities. For further and more exact information see Mr. Sunderbruch during his regular office hours as soon as possible.

Father Dunne has been considered an outstanding historian since he received his doctorate degree under the supervision of Dr. Bolton, of the University of California. Since that time he has written many scholarly texts and historical works. His most recent work is the latest in a series on the pioneer Jesuits of Lower California, "The Early Jesuits in Tarahumara." The first in the series was "The Pioneer Jesuits on the West Coast." A textbook now widely in use in American Universities entitled, "A Survey History of South America" was written by Father Dunne in collaboration with Rev. John Bannon, S. J., professor of history at St. Louis University. Father McGloin has recently authored a life of a pioneer Jesuit of San Francisco, James Chrysostom Bouchard, S. J., entitled "Eloquent Indian."

St. Patrick Talk By Father Dunne Rev. William J. Dunne, S. J., president of the University will address the Hibernian's annual St. Patrick's Day luncheon today in the Rose Room of the Palace Hotel. The subject of Father President's address is, "The Responsibilities of Higher Education." According to a press release, the speech will deal with St. Patrick as a model of the function which higher education, under his inspiration, played in the course of the history of Europe. Not only is Father Dunne an Irishman and a native of San Francisco, but he is at the present time vice- president of the Executive Committee for Colleges and Universities of the National Catholic Educational Association. The annual St. Patrick's Day parade will be held on Sunday afternoon, with the line of march taking over Market Street for the afternoon. USF's R.O.T.C. contingent will represent the University in the parade. Choral Group Here from Austria A group of Austrian college students who are touring the United States under the sponsorship of the State Department will sing at the 10:30 High Mass in St. Ignatius Church next Sunday, March 19. The students have formed a choral group, touring the United States and singing at major American universities. They have sung at Harvard, Yale, and other large eastern universities. Their performances have been well received at the eastern universities. Accounts Closing The University Bookstore announces that ALL BOOKSTORE ACCOUNTS FOR THE CURRENT SEMESTER WILL POSITIVELY CLOSE ON MARCH 31. This means the end of this month! Those who have not received all the books to which they are entitled are urged to REPORT THIS FACT TO THE BOOKSTORE WITHOUT DELAY. Annual Fandango Goes Tonite at 9 Music By Lee Scott's Orchestra In Sir Francis Drake Empire Room Ireland Forever and a big cheer for the Frosh Fandango will today be the sentiments of all the good Irish on the hilltop. A St. Patrick's Day tradition, the Fandango is always a happy thing. This year Lee Scott and his orchestra will furnish the music. Scott and his band played for the Junior prom last January and he has just recently completed a successful four- 3>week engagement in the Venetian Room of the Hotel Fairmont. The Empire Room of the ROTC to Parade On Sunday The army boys of the University will honor St. Patrick next Sunday afternoon by joining in the grand St. Patrick's day parade. The University unit of the R.O.T.C. will be present, 400 strong, to participate in the festivities. Last year's parade saw the USF marching unit receive top honors in their class for precision marching. Always a hit with the crowds, the unit will march the length of Market Street, accompanied by the R.O.T.C. band, under the direction of Bandmaster Arthur McCue. The band will wear fancy green helmets, with the embossed letters USF in gold on top. Colonel Stuart was quoted yesterday as saying he expects his outfit to take another award Sunday. Students are cordially invited to watch the triumphal parade on Sunday afternoon anywhere along Market Street. Schedule for New ROTC Film Bill Another program of movies will be presented by the ROTC Department in the USF Auditorium at 12:15 p. m. on Wednesday, March 22: "AMERICA SAILS THE SEAS"—Activities of the Merchant Marine.

"PROBLEMS OF PEACE IN ASIA" — Shows social, economic, and political conditions of the countries of Asia, together with recent progress in finding solutions for some of the major porblems. Sir Francis Drake Hotel will host the Dons and their ladies. Contrary to what was published in The FOGHORN last week, there will be adequate facilities for all thirsty people. To clear up another thing, the term "black tie" does not mean you can't wear a maroon tie or a white dinner jacket. The term "black tie" is merely a term that denotes formal dress. In keeping with a long-time precedent, the no-corsage rule will be in order. Let us repeat. The Fandango is a happy thing, so let's everybody be there. Bids are still on sale for the nominal sum of $2.50. The place is the Empire Room of the Sir Francis Drake, located on Powell Street near Sutter. Things get under way at nine, and will last 'till one. Lit Society Holds Special Meeting Tom Powers of USF and Ales- sandro Baccari of the University of California will be featured speakers at a special meeting of the Kappa Lamda Sigma Society at the Baccari Mona List Studio at 525 Sutter St. on Wednesday evening, March 22. Purpose of the meeting is to enlarge the membership of this upper- division group composed of English majors. Interest in literature and cultural subjects and high academic standards are requisites for the organization. Candidates desiring to join the society should submit their names to Alfred Allesander, Paul Soito, William O'Leary or Rev. James J. Lyons, S.J., faculty advisor for the group. At This Week's Exec Meeting... The planned business of the day concerning the approval of the revisions of the constitutional by-laws went ahead as scheduled. Seven amended sections presented to the group for approval by Vice- President Bill Duffy included articles in regard to the meeting time of the council, absences of members, intra-murals, campus improvements, the constitution and by-laws and regulations concerning candidates for student body offices. It was also announced that these amendments were ready to be presented to the student body for petition, to be approved by at lease ten per cent of the members. With the necessary number of signatures, an official delegation would then present the proposed amendments to student body president, Larry Lawson. As quoted from the University constitution, "The president shall then, within ten days, call a special meeting of the Association by publishing on the University bulletin boards, and in the columns of the student paper, a notice of the meeting and proposed amendments. Voting shall be by secret ballot." On approval of the amendments, they would then be forwarded to Father President for approval or rejection. If approved, the articles would immediately go into effect. Dick Benson, student body cheer leader, recommended the construction of special memorial plaques, with accompanying pictures of those athletes of the University who have gained All-American recognition by the nation's sports writers and magazines. The proposal was favored and Benson was appointed head of a committee to investigate the matter. BOUSCAREN DELIVERS TALK ON CZECHOSLOVAKIA Analyzes Soviet Threat to Peace On Monday evening, March 13, Mr. Anthony T. Bouscaren addressed the International Relations Club on the subject: "Two Years After—The Meaning of Czechoslovakia." Author of the recently published book, Soviet Expansion and the West, contributor to numerous scholarly publications and well- known lecturer on various aspects of Soviet Communism, Mr. Bouscaren treated listeners to one of the most informatinve discussions the I. R. C. has yet presented. After a careful and fact-laden analysis of the means the Soviets employed to bring Czechoslovakia's more than two milion people within the iron curtain, Mr. Bouscaren brought the event into focus by showing the manner in which it fitted into the pattern of Soviet imperialistic expansion which has since continued to unfold in such an ominous manner. Stressing the fact that Soviet activity since 1945 is more than a threat to peace (that it is, in fact, war), and that the Russian pressures and aggressions in both Europe and Asia constitute the opening thrusts of World War III, the USF professor urged the importance of the United States adopting a realistic diplomatic policy which would recognize the fact of Soviet aggression and take appropriate steps to meet this menace. After his talk, Mr. Bouscaren called for questions, and an open forum ensued. During the questioning, Mr. Bouscaren stressed the importance of the United States maintaining itself at a high level of preparedness. Mr. Bouscaren also exploded the myth that Stalin is the "prisoner in the Kremlin." As for Stalin wanting peace, Mr. Bouscaren respondec simply that Stalin must be taken at his word, and that Stalin has said that peace is but a prelude to war. Among members who took an active part in the question-period were Lewis Howell, Don Shank, Jim King, Norm Smith, Gene Dawydiak, Bob Castagnetto, Frank Brass, Ron Schenone, Ed Kamlan, Paul Busi, and Don Turner. With President Harry Murphy presiding, a short business meeting was held. Secretary-Treasurer Henry Hough made his report and laid several problems before the members for their consideration. Plans were laid for the next issue of the I.R.C. NEWS, scheduled for an early appearance on the campus. Thomists Discuss Evil and Freedom The problem of natural and moral evil and its relationship to human freedom, divine goodness and divine concurrence is the featured subject of discussion for the Thomists in their weekly seminar during the present semester. The group convenes on Thursday evenings at 8:45 under the chairmanship of Bob Leahy, senior and Thom- ist president—and ordinarily in the student lounge. Principles, ingredients and directions towards hoped- for conclusions are supplied by the works of St. Thomas Aquinas (group patron) and Jacques Maritain's ST. THOMAS AND THE PROBLEMS OF EVIL. Sessions consist of exposition and subsequent free- for-all infighting with objections and replies. Philosophy majors in particular, and seniors converging on final examinations in philosophy are welcome to on-campus sessions. Permission from President Bob Leahy or from Mr. Maekin, S.J., group moderator, is the only necessary preliminary.

At This Week's Exec Meeting... The planned business of the day concerning the approval of the revisions of the constitutional by-laws went ahead as scheduled. Seven amended sections presented to the group for approval by Vice- President Bill Duffy included articles in regard to the meeting time of the council, absences of members, intra-murals, campus improvements, the constitution and by-laws and regulations concerning candidates for student body offices. It was also announced that these amendments were ready to be presented to the student body for petition, to be approved by at lease ten per cent of the members. With the necessary number of signatures, an official delegation would then present the proposed amendments to student body president, Larry Lawson. As quoted from the University constitution, "The president shall then, within ten days, call a special meeting of the Association by publishing on the University bulletin boards, and in the columns of the student paper, a notice of the meeting and proposed amendments. Voting shall be by secret ballot." On approval of the amendments, they would then be forwarded to Father President for approval or rejection. If approved, the articles would immediately go into effect. Dick Benson, student body cheer leader, recommended the construction of special memorial plaques, with accompanying pictures of those athletes of the University who have gained All-American recognition by the nation's sports writers and magazines. The proposal was favored and Benson was appointed head of a committee to investigate the matter. BOUSCAREN DELIVERS TALK ON CZECHOSLOVAKIA Analyzes Soviet Threat to Peace On Monday evening, March 13, Mr. Anthony T. Bouscaren addressed the International Relations Club on the subject: "Two Years After—The Meaning of Czechoslovakia." Author of the recently published book, Soviet Expansion and the West, contributor to numerous scholarly publications and well- known lecturer on various aspects of Soviet Communism, Mr. Bouscaren treated listeners to one of the most informatinve discussions the I. R. C. has yet presented. After a careful and fact-laden analysis of the means the Soviets employed to bring Czechoslovakia's more than two milion people within the iron curtain, Mr. Bouscaren brought the event into focus by showing the manner in which it fitted into the pattern of Soviet imperialistic expansion which has since continued to unfold in such an ominous manner. Stressing the fact that Soviet activity since 1945 is more than a threat to peace (that it is, in fact, war), and that the Russian pressures and aggressions in both Europe and Asia constitute the opening thrusts of World War III, the USF professor urged the importance of the United States adopting a realistic diplomatic policy which would recognize the fact of Soviet aggression and take appropriate steps to meet this menace. After his talk, Mr. Bouscaren called for questions, and an open forum ensued. During the questioning, Mr. Bouscaren stressed the importance of the United States maintaining itself at a high level of preparedness. Mr. Bouscaren also exploded the myth that Stalin is the "prisoner in the Kremlin." As for Stalin wanting peace, Mr. Bouscaren respondec simply that Stalin must be taken at his word, and that Stalin has said that peace is but a prelude to war. Among members who took an active part in the question-period were Lewis Howell, Don Shank, Jim King, Norm Smith, Gene Dawydiak, Bob Castagnetto, Frank Brass, Ron Schenone, Ed Kamlan, Paul Busi, and Don Turner. With President Harry Murphy presiding, a short business meeting was held. Secretary-Treasurer Henry Hough made his report and laid several problems before the members for their consideration. Plans were laid for the next issue of the I.R.C. NEWS, scheduled for an early appearance on the campus. Thomists Discuss Evil and Freedom The problem of natural and moral evil and its relationship to human freedom, divine goodness and divine concurrence is the featured subject of discussion for the Thomists in their weekly seminar during the present semester. The group convenes on Thursday evenings at 8:45 under the chairmanship of Bob Leahy, senior and Thom- ist president—and ordinarily in the student lounge. Principles, ingredients and directions towards hoped- for conclusions are supplied by the works of St. Thomas Aquinas (group patron) and Jacques Maritain's ST. THOMAS AND THE PROBLEMS OF EVIL. Sessions consist of exposition and subsequent free- for-all infighting with objections and replies. Philosophy majors in particular, and seniors converging on final examinations in philosophy are welcome to on-campus sessions. Permission from President Bob Leahy or from Mr. Maekin, S.J., group moderator, is the only necessary preliminary. |
