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."

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.

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.

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

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.

Soph Drag held tonight
Dance theme
is western
"Hill Top Hoe-Down," the
Soph Drag with a new look,
will be held tonight at the Bermuda Palms, from 9 to 1.
Western duds, composed of
jeans for the fellows and cottons for the girls, will be the
thing to wear. Wagon wheels
and other western-type decorations about the dance floor will
add to the western theme of
this dance.
Popular music, not western
tunes, will be provided by the
"well known" band of Maurice
Wolohan. To get in the swing
of things, Wolohan and the
band will also slip into cowboy
clothing.
Bids for "Hilltop Hoe-Down"
are $2.00 and may be purchased today at the student
body office. Dave Loescher is
the chairman of fhe ticket committee.
"This danc« with a novel
theme is on an experimental
basis,"  said   Boyer   August,
Sophomore Class President.
"If  it  proves  successful,
there might be more dances
of this nature in the future."
Jack Philips, Decorating
Committee Chairman, said that
decorations will be kept to a
minimum so that a maximum
of dancing space will be provided.
BERMUDA PALMS in San Rafael is
the site for this evening's Soph Drag,
of USF. Ticket Committee chairman Dave
sponsored   by  the   second-year  students
Loescher announced late yesterday that
bids of $2.00 will remain for sale today
in the Student Body Office.
