VOLUME 48 SAN FRANCISCO, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1956 No. 9 Former Clubs' Re; Explains Content Of Political Letter By WILL REITH FOGHORN Staff Writer Peter Keegan, ex-Clubs Representative, explained in a speech before the Student Legislature his grounds for resignation, and proposed several reformations to the legislative body of which he was a member. Undisturbed by the fact that the rigid attention of all present in the Semeria Room was focused directly upon him, and that a tape recorder was reg istering his every phrase, Kee gan, standing before the foot of the conference table, delivered the points of his talk in a mild but confident tone of voice and in providently chosen words. "I am not going to run again." he assured. Keegan declared that the question of the legality of his being Club's Representative was due to a conflict between the interpretation of the USF Constitution and the rules of the Student Legislature concerning the appointment of that office. SUGGESTS COMMITTEE He suggested that a committee be established to investigate this matter Twenty-Six Dons In "Who's Who" in American Colleges Twenty-six students from the University of San Francisco have been accepted to represent the school in the 1956-57 edition of "Who's Who Among Students in American Univer sities and Colleges," it was an nounced by Mr. H. Pettus Ran dall, Editor of the publication The book is not a publication of A. N. Marquis and Company, publishers of the famed "Who's Who in America." Included in this select group of American college students are: William S. Alioto, Chief "Last year, I was president justice of the Student Court; 1 Albert J. Boro, ASUSF President: Paul F. Capitolo, Sanctu- > ary Society Prefect; James H. of the Sanctuary Society." said Keegan. "My political advisors, my friends, told me to run for the office of Clubs Representative. I did on the assumption that I would be And I Quote president again the next year. Concerning his charge of "ill-feeling," Keegan told the legislators: " I was referring to no one on the legislature." He went on to explain that the term "ill-feeling" was directed tive; Austin P. Keegan, former by him at those individuals "who wanted to rectify the situation (the controversy whether Keegan legally occupied a seat on the Student Legislature or did not) in an underhanded manner."

Harrison, former ASUSF Corresponding Secretary; Henry J. Hermann, for mer Junior Class Representa FUNCTIONS FAILURES In the latter part of his talk, jrnawfYR Keegan offered several "personal observations" upon the USF law making body. "The legislature is too idealistic and theoretical in its approach. The dances were all successes, but the dances were successes in themselves. Every other function initiated by the student legislature was a failure. The freshman initiation was a drastic failure." Keegan claimed that although a Freshman picnic was scheduled immediately following the initiation period, it was not carried through. "Whenever there is going to be a club function," continued Keegan in his criticism, "the members of the legislature are told to tell their friends about it. But not one does anything about it. The students don't know what is going on. More class meetings Clubs Representative; John J. King, vice president of Pi Sig ma Alpha and the Senior Class Robert T. Lambing, BSC mem ber; Thomas F.

Skidmore, Senior Class Representative; William J. Silva, Bio-Chem President; Kenneth R. Sullivan, former Junior Class Vice President; and Alvin Wolf, Student Court Associate Justice. NFCCS Dance In Phelan Hall Tonight is the night of the NFCCS Dance to be held in Phelan Hall from 8:00 p.m. to midnight. Chairman Bob Ferrera announced that admission is 50 cents and that proceeds will go to the campus treasury of NFCCS. The affair is themed the "All-College Dance," since it are needed to rectify this prob-Jplays host t0 all neighboring lem "And," followed up Keegan, "don't be afraid to speak out. (Keegan here referred to the previous legislative assembly when, in a vote concerning! Catholic colleges and has committee members from Dominican College, Holy Names College, Notre Dame College, and USF. Sal Carson, who has been Keegan, who was^ot present, previously engaged at the Ju- "* nior and Senior Balls at Notre there was a marked contrast in the number of votes between a hand vote and a roll call vote.) I don't care if you speak against me. We've been in disagreement all year." GOOD LUCK In closing, the self-relinquished representative told the body in session, "I wish you luck." Upon being queried why he had not mentioned these suggestions in his letter of resignation, Keegan replied, " I did not realize them( the imperfections of the legislature) until now for I was guilty of them myself." Later during the session last Monday, Rev. Francis A. Moore, S.J., Dean of Students and Faculty Adviser to the legislature, challenged the stu- See Legislature —Continued on Page 4 Dame of Belmont, will supply the musical renditions. Ferrera, when questioned by the FOGHORN, stated that he "expects at least 750 individuals to participate in the social event." Debating Teams Take 1st Trophy At St. Mary's The USF Philhistorians have again opened their debate season with a tournament victory. The first major speech conference of the year, held last weekend at St. Mary's College, resulted in a sweepstakes win for the Don orators. Out of more than twenty colleges which attended, the top five, pointwise. were: USF (122), COP (114), Stanford (97), Humboldt State (83), Stockton College (56). This represented the second straight year in which USF has won the St. Mary's Tournament sweepstakes trophy, and it took a twenty-two-man squad, including some of the best speakers ever to have attended this school, to turn the trick. TEAM GOES ROUTE In debate only one team went the route, as veteran speakers Bob Sullivan and Lawrence Lujan won five straight rounds to tie with four other teams for first place in the tourney. The freshman team of Frank Thomason and Jim Polakof came close with four out of five wins, and the teams of Frank Trumbower and Tom Jennett and of Bill Schuler and Ed Chow had three-and-two records. Other debate teams consisted of Bob Proaps and Jack Bon- anno, Ron Campbell and Don Hadley, Bill Kievith and Don Krank, and Bob Verzello and Warren Hinckle. Commenting on this rather disappointing debate record, Philhistorian President Bob Sullivan was heard to mutter, "The judging seemed strange." SURPRISING STRENGTH To make up for this, however, USF showed surprising strength in individual events. Freshman Jack Felciano took first in interpretive reading, and Bob Durard, another freshman with an outstanding reputation for speech activities at Bellarmine, won second place in discussion. In oratory Durard tied for second and Polakof for fourth. The most impressive sweep of all occurred in impromptu speaking, where Trumbower tied for third, Jennett took second, and Chow first place. Others who spoke in individual events only were Bob Ferrera, Al Wolf, Boyer August, and Chuck Strom. NO SURPRISE That the Philhistorians won the sweepstakes came as no particular surprise; but it was not quite expected that the victory should be so well-balanced for experience, with veterans and newcomers sharing the laurels rather equally. Moreover, the unexpected results in individual events indicate that USF, primarily known as a debating power, was developing better balance in this respect also. Last, year USF's debaters started the season with a tournament win at Humboldt, and wound up with the fifth best team in the country. This year, with that squad returning nearly intact and with so many promising newcomers to offer a wider range of talents, the only direction is up. f f • # cers Alumni Secretory Attends Sessions David Devincenzi, secretary of the Alumni Association, recently attended sessions in Los Angeles in connection with College Advisement Week.

In a poll conducted by the FOGHORN last week this question was asked: Should the United States enter into the Middle East Conflict? "you can only take so many blows then you have to throw one yourself. Nasser and Egypt deserve anything they get, but I think Israel has gone ]ust too far. And as for England they are frantically trying to hold on to that last shred of a fading empire. The Arabs no longer need England, bur. England sure needs the* Arabs." Nurses too were interviewed and they feel as does the majority; US intervention — if and when the UN gives the okeh. The overall answer was yes —if such action were taken as representing the United Nations, and then only to relieve any danger to the Suez Canal and carry out the laws of the United Nations Charter. The most vitally concerned of all students interviewed, the senior class, with graduation just over the horizon and the obligation of military service yet to come, is positively in favor of such action. Said one: "This dilly-dallying around with votes and vetoes is beginning to get my goat. The United Nations Charter plainly forbids any such aggression as has been committed by Israel, France, and Great Britain. Either we stand by the laws of the organization that we helped to create or we go on allowing the nations of the world to laugh at us." JUNIORS AGREE The juniors agree with their fellow upper-classmen wholeheartedly but go one step further. They say we should move troops into that trouble spot now, with or without the consent of the United Nations, organization primarily inter- This feeling ran about 6 to 4 esiJrd_ m chanty and Catholic in favor of immediate action. ~ " ' Natl Catholic Frat To Start Local Campus Chapter The Knights of Columbus are responding to interest shown by USF students in a recent poll by establishing a chapter on campus, said Rev. John F. X. Connolly, S.J., President. K. of C, which has a membership of more than one million persons in the United States, is a Catholic fraternal Sophomores and freshmen agree almost unanimously that US intervention should come oniy when the United Nations has so sanctified it and then done swiftly. "We are slowly losing the prestige we once had. It is not action. Mr. Edward Molkenbuhr, a local attorney and a USF alum nus, will accompany other lo cal prominent Knights when these come to the Hilltop next Thursday, November 15. This occasion will serve to explain the functions of the the fault of any one particular organization together with a manifestation of the procedure in becoming a member. Cam pus chapters of the Knights of Columbus have been establish ed on the St. Mary's College (Moraga) and Loyola University of Los Angeles campuses political party but rather the failure of the entire country to realize the problem that has been growing in the Middle East," said one freshman interviewed. CANNOT BLAME ISRAEL "In a way you can't blame Israel," began one sophomore, Stop the Press Typewriters will be buzzing away for the next three weeks as the combined FOGHORN news and sports staffs join forces for the November 30th Basketball Issue. Meanwhile, the FOGHORN suspends operations in the interim due to midterms and the Thanksgiving Recess. There have been recent changes made in the staff: Jerry Finnigan and Will Reith have been assigned to the Copy desk with the former designated as Copy Editor. News Editor Don Halog was beaming this week since both were part of what he proudlv calls "the best staff on the FOGHORN." Further Policies Released By Mardi Gras Head Joe Bondanza, chairman of the Mardi Gras (March 1-2), released further plans for the coming social gigantic. The booths over which Rod Sulit has been appointed chairman will be placed not only about the sides of the Green and Gold Room, but will stand in the center also. Three campus clubs will share each booth and it will be their responsibility to see that it is decorated. The three clubs that are judged to have the fin est decorated booth will each receive a trophy. It will be up to the Mardi Gras chairman to decide what games will be played and to what booths the clubs will be !; assigned. "It is hoped," said Bondanza, "that well-known entertainers will be secured for the Mardi Gras to crown the queen and possibly to entertain." Bondanza has sent a letter to the president of the Plymouth Distributors to find out if a new Plymouth can be obtained at no cost for raffling off on March 2nd, the closing night of the Mardi Gras. Because "there is such a great amount of work to be done," stated Bondanza, "students are being asked to sign up and work on the various committees: Prizes, booths, queen contest, tickets, off- campus publicity, on-campus publicity, dance, decorations, and finance. Those with a "sewing hand" are especially needed on the costume committee, informed Bondanza. Signs, on which students may apply for work on any committee are to be found on the bulletin board outside the student body office in Loy ola Lodge. As always, some lucky miss will be crowned as Mardi Gras Queen. Student body officers from various Bay Area colle ges and universities will be the judges who will break down the field of contestants to five. The winner from the final five will be chosen by a panel consisting of the repre sentatives of model and charm agencies. Bondanza states that no definite dates for the Queen contest have, as yet, been decided upon. Dons Speak Out Against Russian Move in Hungary "In view of the situation in Eastern Europe, do you believe Russia is losing control of her satellites?" This question was asked of cross-section of USF thinking by the FOGHORN this week. By TIM MILES Collins, dance committee chairman. Co-sponsored by the Pershing Rifle Society and Scabbard and Blade, the gala event runs from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Dress is formal, i.e., cadets uniforms or dinner jackets are the rule of the evening. According to University policy, the no-corsage rule is in effect. Bids are priced at $2.50 and may be obtained from members of the Pershing Rifles' and Scabbard and Blade's societies. Bert Whiting and his band are engaged to supply the music. ROTC instructors and their wives will be guests at a cocktail party hosted by Military Ball sponsors and their dates prior to the Ball. Lt.

"The evening, he continued, "is planned for a maximum of smooth music and the main event, of course, will be the crowning of the Queen." He further added that there "will be a bar available and a nominal fee of 50c per drink will be charged." showed that they are giving serious thought to the question as it is an ultimate threat to the Western World. Jim Comiskey and John Conroy were talking the situation over in the Green and Gold Room. Both of these freshman agreed that the recent revolts are proof that a free-thinking people refuse to accept a tyranny being ruthlessly forced upon them. Mike McCormac, a sophomore, said, "I believe that this is the beginning of an internal revolt which has been threatening to happen for a long time." "I agree with Mike," said Frank Mulholland, "this is going to be the start of greater oppression in the other satellites." Freshman Class Secretary Joan Waterman, replied, "the people are tired of having Communism forced on them.' Dr. Alexander Smetana, Political Science professor, said,] "Up until recently, it was evident that control was weakening. However, now the Russians are attempting to reestablish their control and they are doing it unmercifully. The Middle East situation is preventing Western Powers from exploiting fully the Russian situation in the satellites. It is most unfortunate. The West should be united and take full advantage of the situation." NFCCS Regional Congress Set For Belmont The annual Regional Congress of the NFCCS will be held Sunday, November 18, at the College of Notre Dame, Belmont, it was learned this week from Jim Cara, USF Senior Delegate. The Congress will open with Mass at 9 a.m., followed during the day by six workshops. Campus Calendar AREA STUDENTS RALLY FOR HUNGARIANS TODAY The strike of the Hungarian peoples has been felt by the College students of the Bay Area. Today at 12 noon in front of the San Francisco City Hall students will show their beliefs and ideals in a sympathy demonstration on behalf of the suppressed peoples of Hungary. Arising spontaneously from the universal feelings of students from surrounding colleges and universities the aim of the gathering is to gain aid for the massacred nation, by appealing to the government, and the people of the United States, and to the United Nations. To quote one Hungarian sympathizer, "We must bring to the public's attention that the everyday things that are taken for granted in America such as the simple act of voting, are not had in all the nations of the world as was obviously seen by the revolt of the now massacred Hungarian revolutionaries. It is up to us, who have such freedoms, to help all we can those people who through blood and desire struggled for their natural rights." Photos For Annual Set For Nov 28-30 And December 3 Last call! Students and faculty are re minded that the '57 DON has scheduled pictures to be taken at the end of this month and early in December. Photo Editor Tom Harrison announced that a room just opposite the Office of Development and the FOGHORN office have been obtained for the use of Wagner-Churchill Photo Studio in snapping the pictures. (See schedule below.) Harrison stressed the fact that pictures in this year's annual will be all new and that no old pictures will be used. Three days have been set aside for graduating seniors to have their profiles snapped while still another date was sched uled for taking undergradu ates who failed to have their's taken two months ago. "This is absolutely last call for the delinquent undergradu- . ates," said Harrison.

CANNOT BLAME ISRAEL "In a way you can't blame Israel," began one sophomore, Stop the Press Typewriters will be buzzing away for the next three weeks as the combined FOGHORN news and sports staffs join forces for the November 30th Basketball Issue. Meanwhile, the FOGHORN suspends operations in the interim due to midterms and the Thanksgiving Recess. There have been recent changes made in the staff: Jerry Finnigan and Will Reith have been assigned to the Copy desk with the former designated as Copy Editor. News Editor Don Halog was beaming this week since both were part of what he proudlv calls "the best staff on the FOGHORN." Further Policies Released By Mardi Gras Head Joe Bondanza, chairman of the Mardi Gras (March 1-2), released further plans for the coming social gigantic. The booths over which Rod Sulit has been appointed chairman will be placed not only about the sides of the Green and Gold Room, but will stand in the center also. Three campus clubs will share each booth and it will be their responsibility to see that it is decorated. The three clubs that are judged to have the fin est decorated booth will each receive a trophy. It will be up to the Mardi Gras chairman to decide what games will be played and to what booths the clubs will be !; assigned. "It is hoped," said Bondanza, "that well-known entertainers will be secured for the Mardi Gras to crown the queen and possibly to entertain." Bondanza has sent a letter to the president of the Plymouth Distributors to find out if a new Plymouth can be obtained at no cost for raffling off on March 2nd, the closing night of the Mardi Gras. Because "there is such a great amount of work to be done," stated Bondanza, "students are being asked to sign up and work on the various committees: Prizes, booths, queen contest, tickets, off- campus publicity, on-campus publicity, dance, decorations, and finance. Those with a "sewing hand" are especially needed on the costume committee, informed Bondanza. Signs, on which students may apply for work on any committee are to be found on the bulletin board outside the student body office in Loy ola Lodge. As always, some lucky miss will be crowned as Mardi Gras Queen. Student body officers from various Bay Area colle ges and universities will be the judges who will break down the field of contestants to five. The winner from the final five will be chosen by a panel consisting of the repre sentatives of model and charm agencies. Bondanza states that no definite dates for the Queen contest have, as yet, been decided upon. Dons Speak Out Against Russian Move in Hungary "In view of the situation in Eastern Europe, do you believe Russia is losing control of her satellites?" This question was asked of cross-section of USF thinking by the FOGHORN this week. By TIM MILES Collins, dance committee chairman. Co-sponsored by the Pershing Rifle Society and Scabbard and Blade, the gala event runs from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Dress is formal, i.e., cadets uniforms or dinner jackets are the rule of the evening.

He further added that there "will be a bar available and a nominal fee of 50c per drink will be charged." showed that they are giving serious thought to the question as it is an ultimate threat to the Western World. Jim Comiskey and John Conroy were talking the situation over in the Green and Gold Room. Both of these freshman agreed that the recent revolts are proof that a free-thinking people refuse to accept a tyranny being ruthlessly forced upon them. Mike McCormac, a sophomore, said, "I believe that this is the beginning of an internal revolt which has been threatening to happen for a long time." "I agree with Mike," said Frank Mulholland, "this is going to be the start of greater oppression in the other satellites." Freshman Class Secretary Joan Waterman, replied, "the people are tired of having Communism forced on them.' Dr. Alexander Smetana, Political Science professor, said,] "Up until recently, it was evident that control was weakening. However, now the Russians are attempting to reestablish their control and they are doing it unmercifully. The Middle East situation is preventing Western Powers from exploiting fully the Russian situation in the satellites. It is most unfortunate. The West should be united and take full advantage of the situation." NFCCS Regional Congress Set For Belmont The annual Regional Congress of the NFCCS will be held Sunday, November 18, at the College of Notre Dame, Belmont, it was learned this week from Jim Cara, USF Senior Delegate.

Campus Calendar AREA STUDENTS RALLY FOR HUNGARIANS TODAY The strike of the Hungarian peoples has been felt by the College students of the Bay Area. Today at 12 noon in front of the San Francisco City Hall students will show their beliefs and ideals in a sympathy demonstration on behalf of the suppressed peoples of Hungary. Arising spontaneously from the universal feelings of students from surrounding colleges and universities the aim of the gathering is to gain aid for the massacred nation, by appealing to the government, and the people of the United States, and to the United Nations. To quote one Hungarian sympathizer, "We must bring to the public's attention that the everyday things that are taken for granted in America such as the simple act of voting, are not had in all the nations of the world as was obviously seen by the revolt of the now massacred Hungarian revolutionaries. It is up to us, who have such freedoms, to help all we can those people who through blood and desire struggled for their natural rights." Photos For Annual Set For Nov 28-30 And December 3 Last call! Students and faculty are re minded that the '57 DON has scheduled pictures to be taken at the end of this month and early in December.
