Committee against Vietnam
plans movie, faculty letter
Theologian Danielou
to speak on campus
The USF Ad Hoc Committee
Against the War in Vietnam
is planning a number of events
for next week in conjunction
with the Spring Mobilization
Committee's week of national
protest.
Town hall
ASUSF will sponsor a town
hall on "Responsibility and
Vietnam" at 11 a.m., in the
Harney plaza, on Tuesday,
April 11.
Speakers for the town hall
will be: James McCauley,
STJ., instructor of psychology;
Dr. James Haag, associate
professor of physics; Robert
McKenzie, associate professor
of political science; and Tom
Fitzpatrick, Foghorn editor.
The regularly scheduled
speak-out will follow the town
hall.
The week's activities will
culminate in two marches
against the war on April 15, in
San Francisco and in New
York.
Co-chairmen of the newly-
formed   campus   group   are
Tom Fitzpatrick, editor of the
Foghorn, Tom McMenamin,
ASUSF president, and Bob
Proctor.
The USF ad hoc committee
supports the following three
points, similar to those proposed by United Nations secretary general U Thant:
• Cessation of U.S. bombing
of North Vietnam;
• De-escalation of the
ground war in Vietnam;
• Inclusion of the National
Liberation Front in peace
talks.
The committee intends to
gather a USF contingent to
participate in the march itself, which will begin at Second and Market at 10 a. m.
on Saturday, April 15, and end
with a rally at Kezar stadium.
The Spring Mobilization
Committee, organizers of the
marches, consists of various
groups opposed to the war, including segments of labor,
students, farmers, c 1 e r gy,
minority groups, and professional and businessmen.
The USF marchers hope to
join with Santa Clara and St.
Mary's in forming a Catholic
students section in the march.
The anti-war group is pres
ently circulating an open letter among the faculty explaining the purpose of the march,
in the hope of garnering faculty support.
Also on the agenda is "Language of Faces," a Quaker
film dealing with the individual's responsibility to face the
issues of war and peace.
It will be shown on Thursday, April 13, at 11 a.m., in
Harney 232. Admission will
be free.
A gimmick
Presidential candidate Alex Monterosa lost out this week to
his campaign manager, notoriety-wise at least, who adopted
the  mien   of  a  well-known  favorite  and the  transportation
methods of a third-grader to spread the good news of Monte
rosa's candidacy.
Jean Danielou, S.J., noted
French theologian, philosopher, and expert on Vatican
II, will lecture on campus
next week.
He will speak to theology
classes (with lectures open to
the public) on Monday, April
10, and Tuesday, April 11.
The first lecture will be delivered Tuesday, in French,
on "La Liberte Religieuse."
It will begin at 4 p.m. in the
Phelan Hall dining room.
"Christian and non - Chris-
Student body elections
fouled by rule violations
Tom Fracisco, head of the
Board of Student Control, told
the Foghorn that the BSC ini-
ated suits in student court
against three ASUSF office-
seekers for "violations of campaign rules."
Charged with violations
were Steve Lucia, presidential
candidate, and Joe Augustino
and John Torpey, both vice-
presidential candidates.
Fracisco declined to reveal
specific charges against the
three, but he said that they
were brought to court Wednesday evening.
The Foghorn went to press
before the cases were heard,
but if proven guilty, the candidates would be disqualified
from their respective races.
Other candidates for offices
are:
• President: Rod Blonien
and Lou Giraudo;
• Vice - president: Will
Kempton;
• Secretary: Janine Beth-
scheider and Betty BaysLnger;
• Treasurer: John Gure-
witz;
• Activities vice-president:
Rich Hinckle and Tom Frandrup;
• Yell leader: Ed Chiosso
and Ed Bohnerd.
If either Lucia or both Augustino and Torpey are exonerated, primaries will be held
today to reduce their respective offices to a field of two
candidates.
tian Religions" is the topic
slated for the second of Father Danielou's talks. It will
be given, in English, at 8 p.m.
Wednesday in the Phelan Hall
dining room.
Father Danielou is the author of many books, including
"The Dead Sea Scrolls and
Primitive Christianity," "The
Theology of Jewish Christianity," and "The Lord of History."
He has played a prominent
part in the liturgical and ecumenical movements and has
contributed to the development of the Church's work in
the mission field.
As is evidenced by his book
"The Scandal of Truth," he
has also been active in discussion with his non-Christian
contemporaries.

Campaign for creative arts
waged by student committee
An "Ad Hoc Committee for
the Arts," formed last week
by a group of students, is now
campaigning for a USF department of creative arts.
Junior Christine Grinnon,
head of the committee, told
the Foghorn that her group
would like to see an instructor teaching painting and
sculpture full-time for next
fall's schedule of classes, and
a second teaching position
shared by a number of bay
area artists.
To achieve these goals, the
committee is asking students
to write letters to Edmond
Smith, S. J., dean of arts and
sciences, and to Paul Harney,
S. J., academic vice-president,
supporting a creative arts program.
The idea for the committee
came at a meeting of thirty
faculty members and students
held last Friday. At that
time, Miss Grinnon complained about the "complete
lack of a creative arts at
USF"   and   maintained   that
such a program "is undervalued" at this university.
"In order to learn, we must
create," she said. Mary Lou
Burg, theology instructor, supported Miss Grinnon on that
score, explaining how she, in
her theology classes, had had
some trouble getting students
to "think creatively" because
there wasn't a fine arts department at USF "for them to
relate to."
Senior Charles Carpenter
said that "much is done here
on the conceptual level, but
virtually nothing creatively."
"Catholic students are blank
pages," said Miss Grinnon,
and professed to be shocked.
Numerous suggestions were
made from the floor, among
them a call to students and
alumni to finance the new department themselves.
Edward Stackpoole, S. J.,
assistant professor of English,
disagreed, maintaining that
the university should provide
the money needed.
College Player director John
Collins said that the commit
tee should "set up an intermediary goal and a final
goal," by telling the administration that students want at
least some activity in the creative arts area by next semester.
William Monihan, S.J., director of library relations,
thought that the Lone Mountain faculty in creative arts
could be induced to teach
some classes at USF next
semester.
A suggestion to begin the
creative arts emphasis at the
grass roots level by organizing an extracurricular activity was made by Richard
Melo, instructor in speech
arts.
The committee sponsored
yesterday's town hall on the
problem, and will meet again
today at 4 p. m. in room 405
of the University Centre. All
interested students and faculty are invited.
Other members of the committee are: Charles Carpenter, Ana Dulay, Mary Spohn.
Jim Slauson and Judy Varni.
