Starr wins four
year grad grant:
Danforth Fellow
Senior English major Kevin 0. Starr received notification
this week that he had been accepted as a 1962 Danforth Fellow. Starr's election entitles him to support from the Danforth Foundation for four years of graduate study at the uni-
versity of his choice. _^_
The Danforth Foundation was   f
established in 1927 by the late
Mr. and Mrs. William H. Danforth of St. Louis to serve the
educational needs of young men
and women. Special attention is
paid to the recruiting and the
training of young men who are
seriously considering college
teaching as their vocation.
Upon completion of military
service, Starr will use his fellowship to obtain a doctorate in
English, although he has not
finally selected a school. His fellowship will cover tuition and
fees plus a maximum grant of
$1800 for living expenses. If he
is  unfortunate  enough to be

married, the grant will increase
proportionately.
"The Danforth Fellowship car-
Edward Griffin
has company
ries more with it than its overwhelming financial support,"
Starr said. "It has a distinct
ethos: the fostering of religious
ideals in the college classroom.
The challenge and responsibility
of such a fellowship outweigh
even the honor of receiving it."
Starr survived year long competition to win the award. Approximately 1000 nominations
were made in October. A little
under a hundred fellows were
selected this month at the Foun
dation's headquarters in St.
Louis. In December Starr was
interviewed by Dr. Howard
Reed, associate director of the
Danforth Foundation, and was

SEC sponsors Nadas concert,
jazz show for final fling
Next Tuesday, April 10, the Special Events Committee is
presenting Istvan Nadas in the first of three lecture-recitals
to be given at the University. Mr. Nadas presently hails
from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, where he is
teaching master classes. The Hun-
garian-born pianist studied with
Kodaly, Kentner, Weiner, and
Bartok. He has appeared many
times with the Budapest Philharmonic, won a distinctive decoration from the Italian government
for his performance at the Bach
Festival in Rome in 1947, and has
given extremely successful recitals in Carnegie Hall.
Last spring, Mr. Nadas made
his debut on USF's campus in a
series of four lecture-recitals.
"The increase in student attendance for each successive recital
revealed the general appeal this
type of event has for USF students. Mr. Nadas is returning to
the campus by popular demand,"
Tom Clisham, SEC Music Committee, said.
For the first time since Stan
Kenton made his echo-splashing
in   USF's   gymnasium,  jazz  will
Campaign
Nine nominated for ASUSF vote;
two offices still unopposed
It was all bright eyes and young idealism yesterday as the spring campaign opened in
a general convocation held in the gymnasium. Nine candidates, all newcomers to the ASUSF political scene, threw their newly-blocked  hats  in the  ring of competition for the
posts of ASUSF president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, and cheerleader.	
As  usual,  the  last  two  posts
again come to the USF campus
next Thursday night in Phelan
Hall. The Special Events Committee is presenting The Vince
Guaraldi Trio (piano, bass,
drums) and The Apollos, a gospel-singing quartet.
"From the Jazz Workshop to
the Blackhawk to Las Vegas to
Sausalito's Trident, etc., Guaraldi
has made a name for himself that
is prominent in the jazz field.
The Apollos' most recent San
Francisco appearance was at Su-
garhill. They have just completed an LP recording with Fantasy
Records. They are acclaimed by
many as being the finest in their
field," Tom Clisham of the SEC
said.
The concert will be held in
Phelan Hall on next Thursday,
April 12, at 8 p.m. Admission for
ASUSF students will be 50 cents.
were unopposed. To date only
junior Dave Woolsey and sophomore Jerry Hilliard have applied
for treasurere or cheerleader.
The remaining posts, however,
seemed highly coveted.

Philistorian Club president
Mike Walker is bringing suit in
student court against the members of the ASUSF legislature.
The court hearing will be held
sometime next week, according
to chief justice Tom Eadington.
Walker alleges that the legislature was out of line in allocating
300 dollars for publicity favoring
the new constitution after one
attempt to pass the document
had been spurned by the student
body at the polls (the constitution lost in the second referndum,
3.39 to 369). He also contends that
the amount actually spent by the
legislators exceeded the 300
dollars which they had appropriated.
some rather accomplished forensic techniques, seven newcomers
made their bid for the toga and
olive wreath.
Jack DeGovia, junior English
major, and Bud Grandsaert,
junior political science major,
made the move for the office
of the presidency. Firebrand Leland Vandendale introduced DeGovia to the assembled students
as "a real human being." Nominator Mike Walker called Grandsaert "a whol Don." In his acceptance speech, interrupted by
an ..overtime ..worning ..from
ASUSF president Bob Ralls, College Player and publications veteran DeGovia said that he felt
that the apathy question was an

ideas in the student body," DeGovia said, shaking back a lock
of hair which dramatically fell
over his forehead, "all they need
is interested direction." In reply,
Grandsaert, who hair refused to
fall dramatically, said that this
election would probably be the
turning point for beter or for
worse in the ASUSF government."
The nominatios for the vice
presidency provided the audience with an array of grade
point averages, time cards from
after-class employment, and assurances of dedication. Sophomore class representative Wally
Thompson introduced soph Jim
Canty, who promised that if he
were elected vice president no
one would ever say again: "USF?
Oh, yes, my cousin goes to State."
Philhistorian president Bob
O'Neil gave a polished introduction to Bob Falco. Falco, a day
student and a Riordan grad,
promised to heal the breech between day students and Phelan
Hall residents. Perishing Rifle
captain Art Ramey introduced
candidate Dan Reicker as "a man
who gets things dope." Reicker
bemoaned the absence of happy
hours, promsing Turk Murphy on
campus next Thursday as an example of his go-getting ability.
The fair sex threw its pill-box
into the ring with the nomination of Kathy Ratigan for student body secretary. Assuming a
consciously Kennedyesque
stance, nominator Jack Stein said
that svelte Miss Ratigan asked
"not what her school could do
for her but what she could do
for her school." Soph candidate
Phil Crosby broke precedent by
introducing himself. Sincerity, h«
felt, was his long hand.
COLONEL A. S. PETERSON inspected the weapon of cadet SFC Emil Moy last Tuesday as cadet officers John
Grinder and Louis Prusinouski look on. The cadet corps of the USF ROTC department underwent its annual
Federal Inspection this Tuesday and Wednesday by the Inspector General's office of the Fifteenth Corps. Inspectors
