ZIRPOLI, candidate for the Board of Supervisors, was one of the two dozen politicians who appeared et Tuesday's Candidates' Rally held in Phelan Hall. Behind Zirpoli is another supervisorial candidate, Donald J. Bruce. FOGHORN Photo by Bob Umbos Candidates speak before sparse crowd By RICH BARNHART FOGHORN St»H Writer Approximately sixty people (only 10 of these USF students) were present at Phelan Hall last Tuesday evening as candidates for the San Francisco Board of Supervisors presented their platforms for the coming elections. At the scheduled starting time of 8 o'clock only ten people had shown up Law School holds first social fete. The USF Law School held Its annual Cocktail Party in the Sky Room of the Gleeson Library last Saturday evening from 6:30 to 9. The purpose of this affair," said Stewart Brafman, publicity chairman for the Law School students, "was to introduce, on a social scale, the first year law students to the faculty and the rest of the student body." Over 500 attended the Sky Boom affair where food and refreshmente, purchased through Law student body funds, were served. The Cocktail Party was organized and initiated by the USF Law School Student Bar Association. "The Student Bar Association really deserves a vote of congratulations for organizing such a successful affair," said Brafman. Dr. Griffin announces nat'l exam Dr. E. J. Griffin, Chairman of the Department of Education, announced that the National Teacher Examinations will be given at 250 testing centers throughout the United States on Saturday, February 15, 1958. The National Teacher Examinations are prepared and administered annually by Educational Testing Service. At the one-day testing session a candidate may take the Common Examinations, which include tests in Professional Information, General Culture, English Expression, and Nonverbal Reasoning; and one or two of eleven Optional Examinations designed to demonstrate mastery of subject matter to be taught. The college which a candidate is attending, or the school system in which he is seeking employment, will advise him whether he should take the National Teacher Examinations and which of the Optional Examinations to select. A Bulletin of Information (in which an application is inserted) describing registration procedure and containing sample test questions may be obtained from college officials, school superintendents", or directly from the National Teacher Examinations, Educational Testing Service, 20 Nassau Street, Princeton, New Jersey. Completed applications, accompanied by proper examination fees, will be accepted by the ETS office during November and December, and in January so long as they are received before January 17, 1958. Today, October 25, Is the last day for dropping individual courses at the University of San Francisco. All classes dropped after today will result in an "F" grade for the course(s). and Frank Trumbower, Special Events Committee chairman, seriously considered calling off the whole affair. A few of the early-arriving candidates, seeing the sparse attendance, left to speak at other meetings. However, when the number of- people present had more than tripled by 8:30 p.m., Trumbower decided to proceed with the program. Master of ceremonies Thomas Grey, manager of the Downtown Association, who acted as master of ceremonies, introduced the candidates allowing each to speak for five minutes. First to take the rostrum was Frank J. Barbaria, the Socialist candidate. He ad- - vocatert municipal ownership of an electrical power system in San Francisco, and the end of racial discrimination by attaching: a jail sentence penalty for violators of the Fair Employment Practice Act. Mrs. Molly Minudri, the first grandmother to be graduated from the USF law school, spoke next. "Why aren't there more USF students here?" she asked. "Aren't they interested in who is going to represent them on the Board of Supervisors? They should be here looking over the candi-. dates." Alphonso Zirpoli blasted the apathy on the part of the citizenry concerning the coming election. He pointed out, however, that with a small turnout at the polls each person's vote is that much stronger. Baseball efforts Supervisor Francis McCarthy cited his efforts in bringing major league baseball to San Francisco. Mrs. Jane Jordan, Edward Osgood, Donald Bruce, John Abraham, Gleason Dens- more, James J. Sullivan, incumbent, Charles Marsalli, Henry Rolph, William O'Keeffe Jr., and William C. Blake, Incumbent, in turn listed their qualifications for supervisor. Proponents of several of the propositions also spoke. Frank Trumbower stated afterwards that there were eight other candidates' meeting held the same night, and of these USF had the highest attendance. Trumbower said, "The Special Events Committee was merely providing a hall for the candidates to use. We didn't expect many students to attend, because those who live on campus are from out of town and consequently have no interest in the city election. But by providing facilities so those 60 people could hear the various candidates' platforms, U.S.F. was performing a public service. The real cause of poor attendance was lack of any important issues in the coming election. Since the city government spends $265 million per year, the people of San Francisco should certainly view this election with more interest than is apparent." Bob Bianco, ASUSF president, praised the work of the Special Events Committee in publicizing the candidates' night. "They did everything in their power to make it a success," he said. "If the public didn't want to come, that's their business." an $ra Jfotrijom Friday, October 25, 1957 All American 1955, 1956 Member of the Associated Press Vol. 49, No. 12 Homecoming plans heard bylegislators Preliminary plans for the 1957 "Winter Carnival" were explained for the first time at the Student Legislature meeting Wednesday afternoon. The event, part of the Homecoming activities (Dec. 6, 7 and 8), is headed by ASUSF Vice-president Frank Trumbower, overseer of the parade, dance, and crowning of the queen, and ASUSF Treasurer Frank DeBenedetti, who is in charge of the carnival booths and financial matters. DeBenedetti appointed Jim Dal Bon and Joe Burns to help corodin- ate the carnival in the Green and Gold Room. Model floor plan Burns presented to the Legislature a model floor plan of the Green and Gold Room showing the location of the eighteen booths planned. Included will be ten "wheel type" games, two "dime pitches," and other novelty- type games such as Tic-Tac- Toe, Chuck-A-Luck and Horse- racing. Decorations for the carnival are being discussed now and will be announced at next week's meeting. Dal Bon said that each booth will be assigned to an organization or club and they will be given ten per cent of the profit from the booth for their work. Points will be given to other club members who are not working in a booth. These points are accredited to the club "accounts" and enable them to share in the profits. 'Fine work' "I want to compliment the boys on the fine work they have done in planning the carnival," said Bob Bianco, ASUSF President, after the meeting. "This will be the greatest social event in ASUSF history!" Ivey slams door on four clubs By RICH HARCOURT FOGHORN Staff Writer As a result of a motion by Clubs Representative Bill Ivey at Wednesday's Legislature meeting, the charter of the Education Club, one of USF's "more active and prominent" organizations, was denied rechartering. In addition to the Education Club, Pi Delta Pi, Pi Sigma Alpha, and the International Relations Club, were further barred by the legislative body. "These clubs were notified that they had to submit their application for rechartering by October 10, said Bill Fennone, Senior Class President. "Notes were put in the club boxes, they were notified at the Club President Council meetings quite a few times to make their application; The majority of the clubs made the set deadline. Why didn't these four clubs do the same?" Although this action was taken, the Education Club held its meeting yesterday morning and went ahead and planned a lecture and program for Tuesday evening in the Gleeson Library. When asked whether or not the club could use the library facilities even though they are not a chartered club, Joe Bondanza, BSC Chairman, said that the club cannot participate in anything that would benefit it (meaning to raise money through the school), but he failed to comment on the legality of the club's use of the library. Up in air As of yesterday afternoon, the club's position was still up in air. Bondanza, Ivey, and Pat King, ASUSF Secretary and President of the Education Club, met informally and tried to iron out their differences peacefully, but they finally agreed to consider the matter at the student legislature next Wednesday. Earlier, King* said, "I talked to (Bill) Ivey last week and he said that he had the Education Club's application for rechartering, but there was no club constitution on file. I told him that I couldn't locate it, and if not, I woud draw up a new one. He said that that would be allright, and that he would extend the time limit. I had heard nothing until the club was not rechartered." To Student Court On the other hand, Ivey denied saying that he had the Education Club's recharter application, sayinc it must have been a misinterpretation on the part of both of them. F meets State on aballeros 24 Strange parish Fr. Scannell takes weekly Alcatraz trip By RUSS MILLER A ten-minute ride in a launch from San Francisco's Aquatic Park brings you to the dock of America's only escape-proof prison, Alcatraz Island. , . Every weekend the Rev. Richard J. Scannell, S.J., takes this ride to the "Rock" to visit the men of his "parish." Only men are allowed. The same faces show up Sunday after Sunday. They wear the same clothes every Sunday and the strangest part of the parish is that it never has any collection. Out of three-hundred parishioners, Father Scannell has a turnout of about two dozen men. Actually it is~ less than two dozen because his long-time altar boy took the launch ride to San Francisco, a free man last week. A look at the records, however, shows that Father Scannell will not find any trouble getting a replacement. Most of the men will probably reside at Alcatraz longer than he will be going there. For six years, ever since he succeeded the Rev. Joseph Clark, S.J., he has been helping men who took the wrong road not only spiritually but morale-wise through obtaining movies of different sports events including prize fights, the World Series, and basketball films. USF basketball team films were in great demand during last season, Fr. Scannell said. He meets each Friday with the warden and a group of men to discuss prisoner problems. At this meeting one or more prisoners are interviewed by the board, each telling of any complaints he may have or any conflicts in which he needs help. If it concerns prison life, the warden takes charge; if it has relativity to parole, the parole officer is referred to; if it_is.ja spiritual-iiroblenrv-either the Pfot«stant chaplain or Fr. Scannell have jurisdiction. Prisoner contacts are made by going out into the prison yard and talking with a group engaged in athletic activity or a card game. Toughest mobsters Contrary to the general notion, Alcatraz is not altogether composed of the country's toughest mobsters. There are convicts seeking protection from gang vengeance and escape artists harbored here for obvious reasons. Some men are sent to Alcatraz because of race problems in other prisons. Consequently, there is a diversity of personnel with whom Father Scannell deals. To maintain their confidence and trust, he is obliged never to relate many "Rock" incidents. Because of the huge expense in upkeep, there has been some talk, and so far it is only talk, about abandoning Alcatraz and moving the prison elsewhere. Father Scannell thinks that the rumor will remain rumor and that Congress will not appropriate the ten million dollars needed for a new prison. Appointed in 1949 After entering the Society of Jesus in 1931, Father Scannell volunteered for the Alcatraz chaplain post in 1949. He has remained in that capacity during those eight years except for retreat work duty from 1953 to 1955 throughout California. His schedule permits him to conduct theology courses for sophomore and junior students at USF. JIM TRUSSAS Tricks and treats Trussas Bill approved by Legislature By CAROLE MULDER FOGHORN Staff Writer In anticipation of another outbreak of vandalism similar ta those which broke out last year among West Coast Athletic Conference basketball schools, the Student Legislature at the behest of Head Yell Leader Jim Trussas passed a motion binding USF to take "an official and effective stand" on future occurrences involving "vandalism or theft'U --r-ii - _i* lWhh, The Legislature's approval of the bill, however, at present involves USF. Trussas ir.di- cated Wednesday that "similar motions will be entertained at the legislatures of St. Mary's and Santa Clara in a few days. Trussas stated that "Father Moore has notified the deans of St. Mary's and Santa Clara of the proposal." Regarding the proposed reform movements, he said, "As I understand now, those caught at a school committing acts of vandalism, will have the traditional punishment of having their heads shaved and painted." Jubilant after the acceptance of his proposal, he further remarked, "It's something that should have been done a long time ago." The following is the Trussas Bill: "Whereas each of the Catholic men's colleges in the San Francisco Bay Area struggles under painful financial burdens and, therefore, it is most unseemly that said burden be increased (Continued on Page Four) Dons seek revenge of previous Got or loss By TOM KENNEDY FOGHORN Sports Writer Heavy rainfall on Wednesday has postponed today's game between the USF Intramural All-Stars and San Francisco State Jayvees and has been re-scheduled for next Monday, October 28. The contest will be at State (19th and Holloway) beginning at 3:00. In its place Brian Daly elected new Court Siead Brian Daly, the only returning Justice from last' year's Student Court, has been elected this year's Chief Justice. Daly, in addition to previous Court service, is a member of the Special Events Committee. An alumnus of St. Ignatius, he is a senior English major. Steff Schomaker was elected Court Secretary. Student Court meetings this semester will be held every Monday at 2. This is the USF Student Court's third year of operation on campus. Student Court procedures will be explained to the students in a series of FOGHORN articles which will be presented in the near future. ~"Nov. 14-U—- Lar~: to go on as scheduled Contrary to a report in Tuesday's FOGHORN, Director of Dramatics Stuart Bennett declared that he has no intention at this time and never had of postponing performances of "The Lark" from its scheduled dates of November 14, 15 and 16. today, the Caballeros and Grey Fog knocked heads in the Don Bowl, starting at the usual time of 2:30. The reason for the postponement of the Don's third meeting with State was that the Gators didn't want to ruin Cox's field for their Homecoming game with the Cal Aggies Saturday at Cox Stadium. In addition, State was unable to play the Dons at USF. However, with the varsity away for three weeks after the Cal Aggie tussle, the USF All-Stars . State JV's game will come off for sure, rain or shine. USF will be out to avenge the 19-7 loss they suffered to State on October 17 in the Don Bowl. Many think that the Dons are bound to improve on this showing, thanks to added game experience and less players down with the flu this time. Tom Valverde, who didn't play against State, will be available at quarterback. Corky Higgins, who went almost the entire "distance at that spot last time, and Pete Clampitt will also be ready. In the first encounter, USF's three intramural clubs each lost by two-touchdown margins to State. Hence, the reason for the combining of the teams. Yesterday's contest between the Cabs and Grey Fog—was quite a battle. Currently leading the Don's Intramurals, Fog's passing attack was stopped by the Cabs.

In its place Brian Daly elected new Court Siead Brian Daly, the only returning Justice from last' year's Student Court, has been elected this year's Chief Justice. Daly, in addition to previous Court service, is a member of the Special Events Committee. An alumnus of St. Ignatius, he is a senior English major. Steff Schomaker was elected Court Secretary. Student Court meetings this semester will be held every Monday at 2. This is the USF Student Court's third year of operation on campus. Student Court procedures will be explained to the students in a series of FOGHORN articles which will be presented in the near future. ~"Nov. 14-U—- Lar~: to go on as scheduled Contrary to a report in Tuesday's FOGHORN, Director of Dramatics Stuart Bennett declared that he has no intention at this time and never had of postponing performances of "The Lark" from its scheduled dates of November 14, 15 and 16. today, the Caballeros and Grey Fog knocked heads in the Don Bowl, starting at the usual time of 2:30. The reason for the postponement of the Don's third meeting with State was that the Gators didn't want to ruin Cox's field for their Homecoming game with the Cal Aggies Saturday at Cox Stadium. In addition, State was unable to play the Dons at USF. However, with the varsity away for three weeks after the Cal Aggie tussle, the USF All-Stars . State JV's game will come off for sure, rain or shine. USF will be out to avenge the 19-7 loss they suffered to State on October 17 in the Don Bowl. Many think that the Dons are bound to improve on this showing, thanks to added game experience and less players down with the flu this time. Tom Valverde, who didn't play against State, will be available at quarterback. Corky Higgins, who went almost the entire "distance at that spot last time, and Pete Clampitt will also be ready. In the first encounter, USF's three intramural clubs each lost by two-touchdown margins to State. Hence, the reason for the combining of the teams. Yesterday's contest between the Cabs and Grey Fog—was quite a battle. Currently leading the Don's Intramurals, Fog's passing attack was stopped by the Cabs.
