Dons put cage lead
in jeopardy tonight
Last Friday evening USF's    the Broncos in San Jose Civic    strength. Tim Cullen a
SKyline 1-3119,9
Last Friday evening USF's
basketball Dons suffered their
first league setback of the
current campaign, falling to
the Spartans of San Jose
State, 49-448. The Dons are
anxiously awaiting tonight's
contest with the Santa Clara
Broncos in the hope of regaining their winning form.
The San Jose game was
bleak from the start. The offensive minded green and
gold had trouble finding the
bucket, and after five minutes
of play, the Spartans held a
comfortable 10-2 lead. The
Spartans played a tremen-
ploying their famed pressing
defense. Surprisingly, the San
Jose State five outrebounded
the Dons, 33-31, with Denny
Bates, Bill Yonge, and Harry
Edwards grabbing the majority of the loose caroms.
Denny Bates led the State
scoring parade with 14, followed by Bill Yonge with 12
and Al Janesi with 10. The
Don's Ollie Johnson was the
highest scorer of the evening
with 16 tallies, netting 6 of 12
fielders.
Besides losing on the scoreboard, the Dons possibly lost
the services of starting forward Dick Brainard for the
remainder of the season.
Brainard injured his ankle,
and is now resting in St.
Mary's Hospital.
Tonight, the Dons tackle
the Broncos in San Jose Civic
Auditorium. The Broncos beat
San Jose State Saturday night
by 28 points, and will be up
for the contest.
Forwards Gene Shields and
Joe Weiss lead the Santa
Clara scoring attack, while
leaping Leroy Jackson gives
the Broncs plenty of board
strength. Tim Cullen and
Russ Vrankavich capably
handle the backcourt duties
for the Santa Clarans.
Dave Lee steps into a starting forward berth, £uid will
team with Ed Thomas and
Ollie Johnson in the front line.
Jim Brovelli and Lloyd Moffatt will start at guards.

SFC: Guaraldi
and all that jazz
The Special Events Committee announced yesterday
that jazz musician Vince
Guaraldi will play a return
engagement on the Hilltop
Tuesday, March 5. Guaraldi,
who played here last spring,
will appear in the eighth presentation of SEC's current music series.
The local musician recently
attained national notice with
his recording, "Jazz Impressions of Black Orpheus."
Before forming his own trio
in 1960, he was affiliated with
the Woody Herman Orchestra, the Cal Tjader Quintet,
and the Lighthouse All-Stars.
Guaraldi is currently between engagements and will
soon open at "The Trident" in
Sausalito.
His appearance will be in
Phelan Hall at 7:30 p.m. General admission tickets are
priced at one dollar. ASUSF
students will be charged fifty
cents.
Charity appeal
"Many Catholic Charity
agencies and institutions receive money from the United
Crusade and Fund Drives, but
these funds received are insufficient," said Mary Tobin,
Co-ordinator of Public Information of the Catholic Charities.
Consequently, on the first
Sunday of Lent each year an
appeal is made to all Catholics to help meet the rising
cost of services of the five
Catholic   Social    agencies.
Collegians frolic,
fill club coffers
Between 1,500 and 2,000 fun-
seeking collegians danced,
sang, and played games at
the annual ASUSF Mardi
Gras last weekend — and, in
the process, poured some four
thousand dollars into various
USF coffers.
The two day pre - Lenten
festival was termed "immensely successful" by its
chairman. Art Ferriera. "Not
only did we realize a healthy
financial gain at the Mardi
Gras." he noted, "but we feel
that all those in attendance
had an enjoyable time."
The junior science major
opined that the fireworks display on the opening night (Fri-
Automation
hits panel
Automation — rapidly becoming No. 1 word in labor's
lexicon — will come under
classroom scrutiny at the
University of San Francisco
Labor Management School
this spring.
Offered Tuesday evenings,
March 12 to May 7, will be a
course on "Automation and
Technological Change — Their
Impact on 180 Million People."
Announcing t he course, Fr.
Andrew C. Boss, S.J., director, said it will deal with
"changing production methods and their effect on every
phase of American life — income, residence, social habits, education, and more."
Father Boss is chairman of
Governor Brown's statewide
Committee on Automation and
Technological  Change.
Other spring courses at USF
include public speaking, labor
law, human factors in industrial relations decisions, and
parliamentary practice. Registration will be held March 9.
day) proved a turning point in
the activities. "The place was
pretty empty before the display, but afterwards people
filled our facilities in a hurry."
Though exact financial figures were not yet available,
Ferriera gave a rough breakdown on the monetary status
of the Mardi Gras. The gross
receipts from the mixer and
show were estimated at $2,400.
The expenses of about $1,750
leave a profit of approximately $650 for the ASUSF.
The clubs and classes,
meanwhile, rolled up a net
profit estimated at $1,500. No
club booth lost money, and
the Philistorians emerged as
the leading money - makers,
with roughly $250 to the black
side.
Another lucrative venture
was a canteen, appropriately
managed by USF coeds. Three
nursing clubs, Gamma Pi Epsilon, Tri Gamma, and the
Sodality combined to dispense
refreshments at the Mardi
Gras, and the joint effort
grossed well over $300.
Of all the events, the mixers
in the Phelan Hall dining
room proved the best attended. The Tikis, a local singing
group, appeared well received
by the crowds.
The junior class dunking
machine seemed the most
popular of the club and class
sponsored events, particularly
when grad student Bob Spatafore climbed the launching
pad.
Other attractions included
bingo in Campion Hall and
coin tossing games in the
Green and Gold Room. A "rat
race" proved popular; students stood around cajoling
traumatized mice into the
winning compartments of a
circular version of the "Skinner box."
Mellon satisfied with
yearbook progress
"Work is progressing satisfactorily on the yearbook and
we are fairly confident of
meeting our final deadline on
March 15." declared Don editor Tom Mellon.
Mellon said that because of
work done during the semester break over half of the
yearbook's 328 pages have
been completed.
"The editors still plan to
burn pleity of midnight oil
to meet our deadline next
month, however," Mellon
countered.
The Don Chief singles out
Ming Chin and Marisa Dryden for their work and said
that the whole Don staff has
been very willing to work."
The next hurdle for the annual will be the club's pictures
which will be finished this
coming Monday evening. Dtck
MacGregor heads this operation.
Mellon said that the Don is
still looking for snapshots of
campus life and humor to
augment the yearbook. He
said that these could be turned
into the Don office.
