Term Program Is Sketched by ROTC Leader Basic Training Must Be Taken by First Year Students NAME PAY SCALE Guns, Tractor, Truck and Engineering Equipment to Be Sent Program for the newly established R. O. T. C. coast artillery unit was outlined yesterday in a "Foghorn" interview by Maj. William Brey, who will head the Department of Military Tactics on the campus. The new faculty member sketched the courses that will be given, the requirements for a commission in the reserve corps and the equipment that will be sent to the campus for the unit. The military training courses are divided into the basic and advanced, each covering a period of two years. Basic's Scope Given Basic training, given for the first two years, covers military fundamentals, the organization of the army and the coast artillery, military discipline, customs of the scrv ice, military sanitation and first aid. This is given in regular classroom instruction three hours a week. One and a half credits are given for the course. Rules governing other examinations apply here. Inclusion of other supplementary topics in basic training was also announced by Maj. Brey. Thirty-six hours of drill are required in addition to the classroom work. Training Compulsory Basic training will be made compulsory for freshmen next year, and for both freshmen and sophomores during the 1937-38 year, Rev. Albert I. Whelan, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts stated. Students for advanced training will be selected from the most promising underclassmen. These will be made student officers and given an opportunity to win their commissions in the reserve corps. Six weeks summer camp work is required for the commission. U. S. F. students seeking the officer- ships will probably be sent to Fort Worden, Wash. A mileage allowance is paid by the government. Pay Scale Pay for officers was said by Maj. Brey to be $.25 per diem, or $9.00 per month. The scale is subject to annual revision by the government. A ten ton tractor, two trucks, a 155 mm. gun and carriage, a 75 mm. anti-aircraft fun, a 30 caliber machine gun and a 36 inch searchlight are the more imposing items of the unit that will be sent to the campus by the War Department for instruction of the cadets. Surveying and engineering equipment and other machinery for fire control will also be used. Computing machines are now used extensively in artillery work, the computation by men having been relegated to the past for the sake of accuracy. Careers Opened Officers winning their second lieutenantships in the reserve corps will find a career in the regular army possible, it is said. Opportunity for advancement in the reserve corps is won by camp work once every three years and work in correspondence courses. Maj. Brey, who established offices here this week, will be aided by three other officers and an enlisted man next fall. Cameron Reviews Hoopsters' Season In reviewing the basketball season so recently completed, I must admit to striking inconsistency occasioning periods of disappointment against recurring periods of encouragement and optimism. Falls against some of our major competitors are offset by moments of brilliance against others. Our first Y. M. I. game, our Olympic Club game and two St. Mary's games, along with our showing at Stanford, magnified too realistically our shortcomings, while our second Y. M. I. and St. Mary's games, our Santa Clara series, and our California game tend to soothe that bitter realization. The past may better lie forgotten, but before forgetting it and making plans for next season, I should like to express my gratitude and credit for the past season. With thanks to the Student Body and its officers, the members of the "Foghorn" staff, and others who supported us so faithfully this past year, I should like to close with a recognition of the credit I feel is due the boys who carried us through the trying early season campaign, as well as to the reserves who, with determination, developed themselves so admirably that the outlook for next year is a good one. (Signed) WALLACE CAMERON, Varsity Basketball Coach. Approval of Key Sought by Club Application of the Thomists, campus philosophical society, was made to the Executive Committee by Vincent Tarantino and club officers at the weekly meeting of the legislative group last Tuesday noon. The matter was ruled to be a concern of the Board of Student Control, which will meet to pass on the a-pplication. Lounge Fund Dance Gains Wide Approval Suppressed Desire Dance Approved by Faculty And Board NAME HELD RISQUE Date as Yet Has Not Been Decided Upon by Board Provided with a background of smouldering campus politics, the proposed "suppressed desire" dance gained the approval of both the Executive Committee and University authorities this week. The purpose of dance, which will be held late in the semester, will be to raise funds for the redecoration of the Lounge. Risque "Suppressed desire" has been deemed too risque by the student legislators and a new title will likely replace the present name. The dance, as now contemplated, will be a sort of costume carnival affair that will let tastes have their play- Date of the dance has not yet been suggested by the Executive Committee for submission to fac ulty authorities. The period between. the Junior Prom, which will be held on April 18, and the final examination, scheduled for early in May, was looked on favorably by one group. A post final examination date was another possibility. This suggestion, made by Vin Mullins, soph class president, would have the dance on the Friday or Saturday night after the exes. J. Stanley Kearney, '36, who originally suggested the dance, appeared before the Executive Committee at their meeting Tuesday to give his reasons why the dance should be held. He explained the preliminary work he had done to secure approval. Financial control of the dance will probably be in the hands of John P. Horgan, A.S.U.S.F. treasurer, if the suggestion of the sponsors is followed. IN MEMORIAM The faculty and members of the student body of the University of San Francisco extend deepest sympathy to Dr. Stephen Kuhnle, Ph. D., and to George Johnstone, on the deaths of their fathers. Faculty Members Qive Vieivs on FrancO'Qerman Europe War Threat Entirely Neutral, Holds Biermann In an exclusive interview granted to the "Foghorn," Dr. Bernard Biermann, chairman of the political science department of the University, gave his views on the present Franco-German crisis. In opening, Dr. Biermann stated: "I want it understood that I am entirely neutral in this matter—I am Dutch. I am merely giving the political scientist's point of view. As I see it, Germany has in the past week accomplished three things: Three Points 1.—She has sent her troops into the demilitarized Rhineland. 2.—German rivers have been declared to be no longer international waterways. 3.—Germany has denounced the treaty of Lorcano. In explaining his points, Dr. Biermann continued: "The demilitarization of the Rhineland and the internationalization of German rivers constituted what is known as 'international law,' 'international servitudes' which are imposed upon the defeated country.' According to the so-called Treaty of Versailles, this is by definition restrictions of sovereignty. As these restrictions were unilateral and moreover agreed to under duress, the German Government, considering itself not bound, has by its first two acts reasserted its sovereignty over German territory. Better Guarantor "The Lorcano Treaty guaranteed the frontier between France and Belgium and Germany. Germany has denounced the treaty, declaring it felt itself no longer bound as France apparently has found a better guarantor of its security: Soviet Russia." French Don't Want War, Says Pajus At the last meeting of the International Relations Club Mr, Jean Pajus of the Political Science Department of the University gave his views on the present Franco-German crisis now threatening the peace of Europe. Wish Peace Pajus stated in his address, "The French people as a whole do not want war. The army, I am advised from reliable sources, wants peace. Only in the event of an invasion would the French people rise as one to repel the invader. "Germany," he continued, "should not under any condition have violated the Treaty of Lorcano made in 1926. It was a unilateral repudiation, that is repudiated by only one of signators." "At the present time," continued the political scientist, "Britain is in favor of a twenty-five year agreement between France and Germany. Such an agreement would be good, but can Hitler be trusted? He is a dual personality. To his people at home he cries for war, to the nations of the world he asks for peace. Who knows what he will do? Fears Outbreak "France does not wish to keep Germany in a subservient state. She only fears an outbreak of a war which will not be confined to France and Germany but will spread throughout Europe and may even draw in the United States. Germany by this unfriendly action—occupying the Rhineland in defiance of a solemn treaty—seems only to be taking the first step toward an armed invasion. It is indeed difficult to foretell where it will end. Quarterly Sale Aid Is Spurned By Arty Editors Editors of the "San Francisco Quarterly" proved their artistic inclinations—at least if such is proved by a lack of business acumen—this week when they refused to use a publicity blurb that would have been received as a gift from the Heavens by an agent of a publishing company. "Almond Dust Street," featured short story, is credited to Leo George, whom registration lists fail to reveal among the members of the freshman class. The editors admitted the name was pseudonymous. Mystery is added by the fact that the story has been said to have an almost professional touch. Three English instructors read the story, when submitted, and searched through volumes to check for possible plagarism, the story was deemed so good. Other examples of "Leo George's" work have convinced the skeptical editors that the work is original and that a first rate short story writer has been discovered. Previewers of the "Quarterly" have placed the locale of the story along the San Joaquin River. The likely site is said to be Stockton. IRC Invited to Joint Meeting S. F. State Extends Invitation In a statement made to the "Foghorn" president Steve Gilardi of the International Relations Club made several important announcements of the activities of the campus international affairs group. According to Gilardi the organization has been invited by the International Relations Club of the San Francisco State College to hold a joint meeting on the latter's campus. A choice of two dates was given the club at the University, March 31 and April 2. Gilardi, in commenting on the invitation, stated: "It was with great pleasure that we received this invitation from the International Relations Club at San Francisco State College. We are anxiously anticipating a very enjoyable and instructive meeting, and we hope it will pave the way for closer cooperation between the two institutions. We have selected March 31 as the most convenient meeting day." According to the letter written the club by Miss Jeanette Diss- meyer, secretary of the State College group luncheon will be served, as the meeting will take place at the noon hour. The International Relations Club of the University in the very near future contemplate presenting Dr. Phillip Buck of Stanford University's political science department in a lecture. Nurse Heroine's Life Re-enacted In Ether Drama James J. Gill's College Radio Players will present another dramatic moment in history over the air waves on tomorrow night when they re-enact the life of "Clara Barton" at 8:30 p. m. over station KSFO. Clara Barton was an American philanthropist who, during the Civil War period and during other times of strife of the era, took the lead in establishing relief for soldiers and veterans here and abroad. She was affiliated with Red Cross work on the European continent. The play, written by Willis Parker, who penned the other Players' radio productions, is based upon Miss Barton's consistent effort through four presidential administrations to gain approval in the organization of the Red Cross in the United States. The cast will include Bert Buzzini, Players' veteran; Charles Keenan, Alfred Maggini, Vin Mullins, Bobbe Trafts and Helen Zak. Team Chosen For McKinley Debate Friday Basset Selects Rival Sides To Compete in Contest SIX WILL COMPETE Re-election of President Roosevelt to Be Argued Selection of both the affirmative and the negative sides for the annual McKinley Debate was made last Tuesday by James Baker Bassett, moderator, of the forensics. The debate will be held in the College Auditorium next Friday at 8:30 o'clock. The question under discussion is: "Resolved, That President Roosevelt be Re-elected in the Presidential Election of 1936." Sides Chosen The negative side will be composed of Noel Dyer '36, George Helmer '36 and Henry Wikstrom '36. The affirmative of the question will be supported by Frank O'Connor '36, Edward Heavey '37 and John Fredon '37. The debate is held annually in the honor of Judge Benjamin L. McKinley, for many years a member of the University, .of San Francisco Law School faculty. The winner of the debate will receive a gold medal at graduation exercises. The medal is the gift of Judge McKinley. To Name Officials Announcement of the chairman and the list of judges will be made in the next issue of the "Foghorn." However, it was said by Mr. Bassett that Judge McKinley has been extended an invitation to act in the capacity of a judge for the annual event. It is expected that he will accept the invitation as he has done in past years. The McKinley Debate follows the conclusion of the Southern California tour undertaken by members of the Varsity Debating Team. Students who made the trip and representing the University of Southern matches were Frank O'Connor, Noel Dyer and Tom O'Toole. They debated with teams repre- sentin gthe University of Southern California, Loyola, University of Redlands and the University of California at Los Angeles. Members of the travelling team were seniors. Both Dyer and O'Connor will debate in the McKinley affair. All contestants of the next Friday debate have been active in team activity this year. Seeks Support "It is expected that the Student Body of the University will support the McKinley Debate with the presence of many students at the event next Friday night. The debate is one of the more important activities of the forensic year, having been established as a traditional event made possible through the efforts of Judge McKinley," said Mr. Bassett. The winner of the event last year was H. Malcolm MacDonald of the Class of '35. The contestants for the debate were selected by Father Walter Semeria, S. J., Prof. James J. Gill and Patrick Horgan '35, who acted as judges in the tryouts held several weeks ago. Musical Hit Halts Second Gill Drama Due to the 1936 edition of the Merry Gentlemen there will be no dramatic vehicle staged by the College Players during the remainder of this semester. The College Players will confine their activities to their radio program which is released over station KSFO. This action was deemed necessary since April April 22, 23 and 24 are the only available dates and a dramatic show could not be produced except in competition with the Merry Gentlemen. "Best Ever" Is Only Comment on Dance By Class Officials President Clifford Jealously Guards Nature of Programs—No Corsages and No Favors —Craig Orchestra to Play Refusal by members of the Freshman Fandango Committee to bite the proverbial dog, reduced publicity releases for the anxiously awaited next Tuesday night dance to the bald statement that the celebration would cap all previous St. Patrick day Fandangos by a wide margin. Secret Item number two of interest was the vigor with which frosh prexy^ Jack Clifford guarded the nature of the programs. These alone are being given, a more elaborate booklet having been chosen to replace the usual favors. <S>- ^> Budding Authors Offered Chance By Play Contest With suppressed desires coming to the fore, backward students who have always had a hunch that they were the campus Eugene O'Neills and Maxwell Andersons have an opportunity to win cash and conviction of their ability in the script contest being conducted by the College Players. Radio Plays Purpose of the contest is to obtain suitable scripts for the weekly radio program, "Dramatic Moments in Art, Literature, Science and History," broadcast each Saturday night over station KSFO from 8:30 to 9. First- prize is $10, which has been voted by the Executive Committee. Lewis A. Dougherty, of the editorial board of the "Quarterly"; James J. Gill, Director of the College Players; Rev. Albert I. Whelan, S. J., Dean, and Bob Lanctot, editor of the "Foghorn," will judge the scripts submitted. Gill Suggests Information on the preparation of the scripts may be obtained from Director Gill, who suggested an audition of the program to learn the peculiar requirements of radio play writing. The lives of Fr. Damien, famed martyr of Molokai, and Marco Polo are two of the sources being used by contestants. Closing date of the contest will be announced in the next issue of the "Foghorn." Armory Moved To Campus Site Housing of the newly established R. O. T. C. unit was solved this week as two ready constructed buildings were moved onto a site behind the Loyola Press Building, which lies adjacent to the North Court. Offices for the army leaders of the unit, classrooms and the armory will be placed in the new buildings. Question of the armory was one of the puzzling problems confronting the administration. Government regulations require special construction to guarantee safe-keeping of the guns. Steel doors, iron barred windows and special types of gun racks are specified by the War Department. Buildings to house the larger ordnance will be constructed later. What! Impossible! Mid-Terms Surely Aren't Here Again Dates of the second mid-term examinations were announced this week by the office of the Dean. March 30-April 3 are the days on which the quizzes will be given. Easter recess immediately follows the examination period, beginning on the afternoon of April 3. Classes resume Easter Monday, April 13, at 8 a. m. Comprehensive examinations will be given to members of the senior class later in April, probably during the last week. Schedule of the mid-terms will be released later. Carvel Craig, who has won a foremost reputation as a dance maestro, has found the favor of the various colleges of the bay area. Selection of the band assures a success for the affair. The selection of the Carvel Craig Orchestra has met with immediate favor, but many students are overlooking the opportunity that has been afforded in the selection of the California Country Club, where the dance is to be held. "The California Country Club has had the distinction of being the gathering center of many college functions of local schools," said Jack Clifford, president of the Class of '39 and chairman of the dance committee. Committee Sell Bids The committee for the dance consists of Bert Dougherty, Frank Samonta, Ed Chambers, Frank Beardsley, Fred Jackson, Tom , Rice, Fred Jorgenson, Jack Kent and Hugh Miles. Bids may be procured from any member of the committee at $2.50, without restriction as to number. The selection and style of the program is being kept a secret by the dance committee. However, the dancers are assured by Clifford that the design will be a novel one, embracing the theme of St. Patrick's Day and the tradition of the Dons. The Freshman class representatives balked at making any other statement. A meeting of the committee for the dance was held last Monday afternoon to make final plans and preparation for the Fandango. According to reports received, it is understood that actual completion of the major details has been made with only a few minor factors to be considered before Tuesday night. Number Limited A particularly noteworthy feature of the affair will be the lack of a crowded floor, which was effected through the committee's limiting the number of couples to three hundred. According to local tradition, corsages are to be barred. The lighting effects and decorations for the Fandango are being- handled by Willis O'Brien of the stage crew. O'Brien plans having decorations novel and characteristic of both the setting and the history of the University. Punch will be served by caterers at the Club. Patrons Listed Patrons and patronesses for the Fandango are: Rev. Harold E. Ring, S. J.; Rev. Father Albert I. Whelan, S. J., Mr. and Mrs. A. Russell Berti, Mr. and Mrs. Roderick Chisholm, Mr. and Mrs. James Baker Bassett, Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Sullivan, Mr. and Mrs. James J. Gill, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Malley, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Lewis, Mr. and Mrs. Preston Devine, and Mr. and Mrs. Michael Quinlan. Enlarged Summer Session Planned The U. S. F. summer school, which will have evening as well as day classes, will be conducted from June 29 to August 7, it was announced this week. This year's session will be more comprehensive than those of previous years. Courses have not yet been selected but a greater number covering a wider field than those presented last year are a certainty. Definite selections of courses will be made within the week. These will be based upon the answers to questionnaires now being circulated by each department of the University.

FANDANGO TUESDAY AT CAL CLUB
-<&** * * * * * » * * *
Military Training Work Outlined
By THE EDITOR
Fandango . . . Foremost on the
College calendar and in the lives of
the majority of students is the St.
Patrick's Day celebration next
Tuesday night. The Fandango is a
genuine tradition of the University
that has sprung up overnight and
implanted itself in the hearts of all
USF students. It is the acme of
the social life of the University and
one of the days of the year for students. The very anticipation of the
dance is quite a pleasure in itself.
More words are useless. There's
only one thing: the dance.
Advertising . . . Sales talks will
form no part of the R. O. T. C. lead1
ers' training with European war
scares getting beyond the scare
stage. Headlines bring home the
possibility of war—world war. War
means but one thing for the majority of college students: that they
will be called to serve if armed conflict takes place. A commission in
the reserve has an insuring effect
like a bank account. Whether the
college student likes the military
training or wants to take it is subordinated to the realization that it is
the sensible thing.
Commissions in the reserve corps
not being handed over hither and
thither, objection may be raised that
military training at present will be
useless. Four years must elapse before the first USF student is
awarded his reserve corps commission. But what is happening now
will happen in the future, one need
not be a Brisbane to prophesy this
of the belligerency of Europe.
More R. O. . . . Drill is the chief
source of complaint against military training, but we wonder how
this can be after glancing through
a volume on basic military training.
The text is several hundred pages
long and in fine print, much like a
law book. Even so, it's more attractive than the law books; it has
occasional charts and graphs. A
unit and a half for three hours of
study a week will be greeted with
as much patriotic enthusiasm as the
income tax, we venture.
Spring ... Is irrepressible and
we cannot restrain from mentioning
the weather. Furthermore, we have
a perfect right to the subject. It's
even money that Noah commented
on the weather when he first put his
head out of the Ark. But even without this imposing support, the last
two weeks' weather merits comment. San Franciscans may now
lay claim to genuinely "unusual"
weather.
Nothing like spring, you know, to
bring out the white shoes, which
adorn the dainty feet of the local
Beau Brummels. After viewing this
type of footwear, the proposed ski-
jump for a President's Day event
becomes coldly rational.
Debating . . . Swings into full
stride this month with the McKinley contest scheduled in addition to
numerous intercollegiate meets.
Debating has always been popular
with the students inclined towards
forensics, but it has dismally failed
to win popular support. It is expected but none the less embarrassing for those connected with the
activity to count the audience on
one hand when matches with other
institutions are staged. Appeal has
yet to be made to "show spirit by
attending the Blank debate." An
enterprising person could lay claim
to immortality by devising a scheme
to swell debate audiences.
Script Contest . . . Lack of publicity has characterized the contest
being conducted by the College
Players for the radio programs.
This is a splendid opportunity for
those with any ability to write. It is
an opportunity for recognition and
an avocation that easily turns into a
vocation. To write after all, one
must merely put down what he
would say.
Fair . . . The occasional urgings
by the "Foghorn" for a study of the
opportunities offered by the coming
World's Fair has continually fallen
upon unhearing ears. The opportunity is the sort one would hope for
if it were impossible. The World's
Fair will be a Bay Region affair, but
the name of San Francisco will
dominate in the minds of the people
regardless of name.
Term Program
Is Sketched by
ROTC Leader
Basic Training Must Be
Taken by First Year
Students
NAME PAY SCALE
Guns, Tractor, Truck and
Engineering Equipment to Be Sent
Program for the newly established R. O. T. C. coast artillery
unit was outlined yesterday in a
"Foghorn" interview by Maj. William Brey, who will head the Department of Military Tactics on the
campus. The new faculty member
sketched the courses that will be
given, the requirements for a commission in the reserve corps and
the equipment that will be sent to
the campus for the unit.
The military training courses
are divided into the basic and advanced, each covering a period of
two years.
Basic's Scope Given
Basic training, given for the first
two years, covers military fundamentals, the organization of the
army and the coast artillery, military discipline, customs of the scrv
ice, military sanitation and first aid.
This is given in regular classroom instruction three hours a
week. One and a half credits are
given for the course. Rules governing other examinations apply
here.
Inclusion of other supplementary
topics in basic training was also
announced by Maj. Brey.
Thirty-six hours of drill are required in addition to the classroom
work.
Training Compulsory
Basic training will be made
compulsory for freshmen next
year, and for both freshmen and
sophomores during the 1937-38
year, Rev. Albert I. Whelan,
Dean of the College of Liberal
Arts stated.
Students for advanced training
will be selected from the most
promising underclassmen. These
will be made student officers and
given an opportunity to win their
commissions in the reserve corps.
Six weeks summer camp work is
required for the commission. U.
S. F. students seeking the officer-
ships will probably be sent to Fort
Worden, Wash. A mileage allowance is paid by the government.
Pay Scale
Pay for officers was said by
Maj. Brey to be $.25 per diem,
or $9.00 per month. The scale is
subject to annual revision by the
government.
A ten ton tractor, two trucks, a
155 mm. gun and carriage, a 75 mm.
anti-aircraft fun, a 30 caliber machine gun and a 36 inch searchlight
are the more imposing items of the
unit that will be sent to the campus by the War Department for
instruction of the cadets.
Surveying and engineering equipment and other machinery for fire
control will also be used. Computing machines are now used extensively in artillery work, the computation by men having been relegated to the past for the sake of
accuracy.
Careers Opened
Officers winning their second
lieutenantships in the reserve corps
will find a career in the regular
army possible, it is said. Opportunity for advancement in the reserve corps is won by camp work
once every three years and work
in correspondence courses.
Maj. Brey, who established offices
here this week, will be aided by
three other officers and an enlisted
man next fall.
Cameron Reviews
Hoopsters' Season
In reviewing the basketball
season so recently completed, I
must admit to striking inconsistency occasioning periods of disappointment against recurring
periods of encouragement and
optimism. Falls against some of
our major competitors are offset
by moments of brilliance against
others. Our first Y. M. I. game,
our Olympic Club game and two
St. Mary's games, along with our
showing at Stanford, magnified
too realistically our shortcomings, while our second Y. M. I.
and St. Mary's games, our Santa
Clara series, and our California
game tend to soothe that bitter
realization.
The past may better lie forgotten, but before forgetting it
and making plans for next season,
I should like to express my gratitude and credit for the past season. With thanks to the Student
Body and its officers, the members of the "Foghorn" staff, and
others who supported us so faithfully this past year, I should like
to close with a recognition of the
credit I feel is due the boys who
carried us through the trying
early season campaign, as well as
to the reserves who, with determination, developed themselves
so admirably that the outlook for
next year is a good one.

Approval of Key
Sought by Club
Application of the Thomists, campus philosophical society, was made
to the Executive Committee by Vincent Tarantino and club officers at
the weekly meeting of the legislative group last Tuesday noon.
The matter was ruled to be a concern of the Board of Student Control, which will meet to pass on the
a-pplication.
Lounge Fund
Dance Gains
Wide Approval
Suppressed Desire Dance
Approved by Faculty
And Board
NAME HELD RISQUE
Date as Yet Has Not Been
Decided Upon by
Board
Provided with a background of
smouldering campus politics, the
proposed "suppressed desire" dance
gained the approval of both the Executive Committee and University
authorities this week. The purpose
of dance, which will be held late in
the semester, will be to raise funds
for the redecoration of the Lounge.
Risque
"Suppressed desire" has been
deemed too risque by the student
legislators and a new title will
likely replace the present name.
The dance, as now contemplated,
will be a sort of costume carnival
affair that will let tastes have their
play-
Date of the dance has not yet
been suggested by the Executive
Committee for submission to fac
ulty authorities. The period between.
the Junior Prom, which will be held
on April 18, and the final examination, scheduled for early in May,
was looked on favorably by one
group. A post final examination
date was another possibility. This
suggestion, made by Vin Mullins,
soph class president, would have
the dance on the Friday or Saturday
night after the exes.
J. Stanley Kearney, '36, who
originally suggested the dance,
appeared before the Executive
Committee at their meeting Tuesday to give his reasons why the
dance should be held. He explained the preliminary work he
had done to secure approval.
Financial control of the dance
will probably be in the hands of
John P. Horgan, A.S.U.S.F. treasurer, if the suggestion of the sponsors is followed.
IN MEMORIAM
The faculty and members of
the student body of the University of San Francisco extend
deepest sympathy to Dr. Stephen
Kuhnle, Ph. D., and to George
Johnstone, on the deaths of their
fathers.
Faculty Members Qive Vieivs on
FrancO'Qerman Europe War Threat
Entirely Neutral,
Holds Biermann
In an exclusive interview granted
to the "Foghorn," Dr. Bernard
Biermann, chairman of the political
science department of the University, gave his views on the present
Franco-German crisis.
In opening, Dr. Biermann stated:
"I want it understood that I am
entirely neutral in this matter—I am
Dutch. I am merely giving the political scientist's point of view. As
I see it, Germany has in the past
week accomplished three things:
Three Points
1.—She has sent her troops into
the demilitarized Rhineland.
2.—German rivers have been declared to be no longer international waterways.
3.—Germany has denounced the
treaty of Lorcano.
In explaining his points, Dr. Biermann continued: "The demilitarization of the Rhineland and the internationalization of German rivers
constituted what is known as 'international law,' 'international servitudes' which are imposed upon the
defeated country.' According to the
so-called Treaty of Versailles, this
is by definition restrictions of sovereignty. As these restrictions were
unilateral and moreover agreed to
under duress, the German Government, considering itself not bound,
has by its first two acts reasserted
its sovereignty over German territory.
Better Guarantor
"The Lorcano Treaty guaranteed the frontier between France
and Belgium and Germany. Germany has denounced the treaty,
declaring it felt itself no longer
bound as France apparently has
found a better guarantor of its
security: Soviet Russia."
French Don't Want
War, Says Pajus
At the last meeting of the International Relations Club Mr, Jean
Pajus of the Political Science Department of the University gave his
views on the present Franco-German crisis now threatening the
peace of Europe.
Wish Peace
Pajus stated in his address,
"The French people as a whole
do not want war. The army, I
am advised from reliable sources,
wants peace. Only in the event
of an invasion would the French
people rise as one to repel the invader.
"Germany," he continued, "should
not under any condition have violated the Treaty of Lorcano made
in 1926. It was a unilateral repudiation, that is repudiated by only one
of signators."
"At the present time," continued
the political scientist, "Britain is in
favor of a twenty-five year agreement between France and Germany. Such an agreement would be
good, but can Hitler be trusted? He
is a dual personality. To his people
at home he cries for war, to the
nations of the world he asks for
peace. Who knows what he will do?
Fears Outbreak
"France does not wish to keep
Germany in a subservient state.
She only fears an outbreak of a
war which will not be confined to
France and Germany but will
spread throughout Europe and
may even draw in the United
States. Germany by this unfriendly action—occupying the
Rhineland in defiance of a solemn
treaty—seems only to be taking
the first step toward an armed invasion. It is indeed difficult to
foretell where it will end.
Quarterly Sale
Aid Is Spurned
By Arty Editors
Editors of the "San Francisco
Quarterly" proved their artistic inclinations—at least if such is
proved by a lack of business acumen—this week when they refused
to use a publicity blurb that would
have been received as a gift from
the Heavens by an agent of a
publishing company.
"Almond Dust Street," featured
short story, is credited to Leo
George, whom registration lists
fail to reveal among the members
of the freshman class. The editors
admitted the name was pseudonymous.
Mystery is added by the fact
that the story has been said to
have an almost professional touch.
Three English instructors read
the story, when submitted, and
searched through volumes to
check for possible plagarism, the
story was deemed so good.
Other examples of "Leo George's"
work have convinced the skeptical
editors that the work is original
and that a first rate short story
writer has been discovered.
Previewers of the "Quarterly"
have placed the locale of the story
along the San Joaquin River. The
likely site is said to be Stockton.
IRC Invited to
Joint Meeting
S. F. State Extends
Invitation
In a statement made to the "Foghorn" president Steve Gilardi of the
International Relations Club made
several important announcements of
the activities of the campus international affairs group.
According to Gilardi the organization has been invited by the International Relations Club of the San
Francisco State College to hold a
joint meeting on the latter's campus.
A choice of two dates was given the
club at the University, March 31
and April 2.
Gilardi, in commenting on the
invitation, stated: "It was with great
pleasure that we received this invitation from the International Relations Club at San Francisco State
College. We are anxiously anticipating a very enjoyable and instructive meeting, and we hope it will
pave the way for closer cooperation
between the two institutions. We
have selected March 31 as the most
convenient meeting day."
According to the letter written
the club by Miss Jeanette Diss-
meyer, secretary of the State College group luncheon will be served,
as the meeting will take place at the
noon hour.
The International Relations Club
of the University in the very near
future contemplate presenting Dr.
Phillip Buck of Stanford University's political science department in
a lecture.
Nurse Heroine's
Life Re-enacted
In Ether Drama
James J. Gill's College Radio
Players will present another dramatic moment in history over the
air waves on tomorrow night when
they re-enact the life of "Clara Barton" at 8:30 p. m. over station
KSFO.
Clara Barton was an American
philanthropist who, during the Civil
War period and during other times
of strife of the era, took the lead
in establishing relief for soldiers and
veterans here and abroad. She was
affiliated with Red Cross work on
the European continent.
The play, written by Willis
Parker, who penned the other Players' radio productions, is based upon
Miss Barton's consistent effort
through four presidential administrations to gain approval in the organization of the Red Cross in the
United States.
The cast will include Bert Buzzini, Players' veteran; Charles Keenan, Alfred Maggini, Vin Mullins,
Bobbe Trafts and Helen Zak.
Team Chosen
For McKinley
Debate Friday
Basset Selects Rival Sides
To Compete in
Contest
SIX WILL COMPETE
Re-election of President
Roosevelt to Be
Argued
Selection of both the affirmative
and the negative sides for the annual
McKinley Debate was made last
Tuesday by James Baker Bassett,
moderator, of the forensics. The debate will be held in the College
Auditorium next Friday at 8:30
o'clock.
The question under discussion is:
"Resolved, That President Roosevelt
be Re-elected in the Presidential
Election of 1936."
Sides Chosen
The negative side will be composed of Noel Dyer '36, George
Helmer '36 and Henry Wikstrom
'36. The affirmative of the question will be supported by Frank
O'Connor '36, Edward Heavey '37
and John Fredon '37.
The debate is held annually in the
honor of Judge Benjamin L. McKinley, for many years a member of
the University, .of San Francisco
Law School faculty. The winner of
the debate will receive a gold medal
at graduation exercises. The medal
is the gift of Judge McKinley.
To Name Officials
Announcement of the chairman
and the list of judges will be made
in the next issue of the "Foghorn." However, it was said by
Mr. Bassett that Judge McKinley
has been extended an invitation to
act in the capacity of a judge for
the annual event. It is expected
that he will accept the invitation
as he has done in past years.
The McKinley Debate follows the
conclusion of the Southern California tour undertaken by members of
the Varsity Debating Team. Students who made the trip and representing the University of Southern
matches were Frank O'Connor,
Noel Dyer and Tom O'Toole.
They debated with teams repre-
sentin gthe University of Southern
California, Loyola, University of
Redlands and the University of California at Los Angeles.
Members of the travelling team
were seniors. Both Dyer and O'Connor will debate in the McKinley
affair.
All contestants of the next Friday
debate have been active in team activity this year.
Seeks Support
"It is expected that the Student
Body of the University will support
the McKinley Debate with the presence of many students at the event
next Friday night. The debate is
one of the more important activities
of the forensic year, having been
established as a traditional event
made possible through the efforts of
Judge McKinley," said Mr. Bassett.
The winner of the event last
year was H. Malcolm MacDonald
of the Class of '35.
The contestants for the debate
were selected by Father Walter
Semeria, S. J., Prof. James J. Gill
and Patrick Horgan '35, who acted
as judges in the tryouts held several weeks ago.
Musical Hit Halts
Second Gill Drama
Due to the 1936 edition of the
Merry Gentlemen there will be no
dramatic vehicle staged by the College Players during the remainder
of this semester.
The College Players will confine
their activities to their radio program which is released over station
KSFO.
This action was deemed necessary
since April April 22, 23 and 24 are
the only available dates and a dramatic show could not be produced
except in competition with the
Merry Gentlemen.
"Best Ever" Is Only
Comment on Dance
By Class Officials
President Clifford Jealously Guards Nature of
Programs—No Corsages and No Favors
—Craig Orchestra to Play
Refusal by members of the Freshman Fandango Committee to bite
the proverbial dog, reduced publicity releases for the anxiously awaited
next Tuesday night dance to the bald statement that the celebration
would cap all previous St. Patrick day Fandangos by a wide margin.
Secret
Item number two of interest was the vigor with which frosh prexy^
Jack Clifford guarded the nature of the programs. These alone are
being given, a more elaborate booklet having been chosen to replace
the usual favors.
