Candidates' platforms (p. 4. 5) SAH ftZAllL Friday, April 21, 1961—Vol. 52, No. 35 Ad majorem Dei gloriam A devoted son of St. Ignatius Loyola, Reverend Fred J. Spieler S.J., looked up from his work on USF's radio station to pose for his last picture, taken Saturday afternoon atop Phelan Hall. Sunday morning, at 6:15, Fr. Spieler's earthly labors came to an abrupt end when he died following an automobile accident near Mercy High School. Tuesday morning the faculty and students of the university payed homage to the priest during the traditional funeral rights of the Catholic Church. The Office of the Dead was recited by the Jesuit clergy at 9:30; the funeral followed at 10:00 o'clock. Fr. Spieler had complained during the week of pains in his chest and back. Tuesday night he had worked the closed circuit televising of a lecture in the library, and mentioned at that time that he was working too hard. Saturday Fr. Spieler worked from nine to six on the roof of Phelan Hall on the construction of KUSF- FM, the radio station which he had undertaken to build for the University of San Francisco. Fifty-one, Fr. Spieler came to the university in 1959 from Santa Clara, where he was a member of the faculty there and director of their radio station. At USF he was assistant professor of physics as well as director of radio development here. The faculty and students can do little but mourn his death; their beloved confrer and professor lives on in his eternal reward, a Priest forever. fog htORn All-American 1954-1960 151 SK 1-3118,311?; USF leaves mock UN after being censure Eleven USF delegates to the Model U.N. walked out of the meeting after being censured by the General Assembly last weekend. The eleven delegates were representatives oi the USF International Relations Club and were attending the Eleventh Annual Model United Nations held at Eugene, Oregon. The USF delegation was representing the country of Portugal. The delegation voiced the opinion that Portugal had provinces and not colonies. The delegation said that Portugal should therefore not be censured because of "its colonial policy." The General Assembly immediately censured the USF delegation, and the delegation immediately voiced an objection. When this objection was overruled, the delegation from Portugal (USF) took the only alternative left to them and walked out. They were immediately followed by Portugal's close ally, the Brazilian delegation. The delegation, headed by George Mills, returned in the afternoon when the United Nations turned to other pressing matters. The Model U.N. is designed to better acquaint those interested in foreign relations with the intricate workings and the problems of the United Nations. This year's meeting was attended by 835 delegates representing 87 western universities. This year's model U.N. opened with a press conference with Oregon's senior senator, Wayne Morse, the governor of the state of Oregon, Mark Hatfield, and the President of the United Nations General Assembly, Frederick Boland of Ireland. President Boland, commenting on the effectiveness of the United Nations, indicated that its real weakness stems from the fact that it can only discuss problems and make recommendations to nations. It cannot make its decisions binding on the governments and therefore "the world community is still a society without any kind of effective government." Two other main topics of conversation with the world diplomat centered around the possibility of Red China's entry into the United Nations and the problem of the John Birch Society. In the days following the opening session, the 87 universities represented the 81 countries which they had previously been assigned. The delegation from USF, headed by the president of the International Relations Club on campus, George Mills, was assigned Portugal as the country they were to represent in the mock session of the United Nations. Because this country is predominantly Catholic, the USF delegation was able to take real- —Continued on Page 2 Holiday Wednesday- Fr. President's Day Every spring, the University pauses to honor Father President. In past years, a solemn Mass at St. Ignatius Church, celebrated by the President himself, has started the day, followed by a free breakfast, a faculty vs. seniors baseball game, entertainment, and a free lunch. ASUSF President Bob Crowley and Junior Class President Bob Ralls were prepared to repeat the usual procedures for President's Day, which falls this year on Wednesday, April 26. However, they were informed by the Administration that the traditional President's Day Mass will not be celebrated Plans made by Sanctuary Society Moderator Father David J. Walsh, S.J., and Prefect Gary Analla have been canceled. The usual on-campus festivities have been replaced by a free ASUSF picnic, to begin in Golden Gate Park (exact location to be announced) at high noon. The ASUSF will provide lunch, but students are welcome to bring their own refreshments. The traditional faculty-senior ball game will be held after lunch.

The position of editor for the Student Handbook, formerly held by the secretary of the ASUSF, has been placed tentatively on the roster for the Publications Council meeting.

Box 98, Sunal, California; Dennis Kennedy, an English major. 820 Yanonaldi Street, Santa Barbara, California; Robert Ralls, an English major, 101 Celta Street, San Carlos, California; Dan Ritter, a political science major, 1812 Pacific Avenue, San Francisco, California; Kevin Starr, an English major, 221 Mid- dlefield Drive, San Francisco, California; and David Sherden, an electronic physics major, 1051 Fell Street, San Francis-co, California. The Alpha Sigma Nu is the National Jesuit honor society for men. It is composed of upper- classmen chosen by the deans of. each of the three colleges and by the University for outstanding scholarship, service and loyalty to the school. The society concerns itself with all phases of student life, and acts as a mediator between the students and the faculty. One of the privileges of the fraternity is exemption from the finals in June of the senior year, if the fraternity brother so desires.
