SAN FRANCISCO, MARCH 27, 1936
Friday
By THE EDITOR
Reform ... is sweeping the Hilltop since last Monday's events for
bleacher athletes. Fully fifty per
cent have since resolved to lead the
good life in the future and to forego the night life. The celebration
proved the best ad for a gym; a
number of contestants showed their
last exercise was obtained by chinning   themselves   on   their   cradles.
Next year's enterprising President's Day chairmen could add the
n-th degree to careful planning by
sponsoring a training week ■ immediately before the celebration.
In this way, conditioned, they
would run at least 150 yards, instead of walking the last 100, as
several   did.
Item . . . number two on suggested improvements for next year
is the weather. In a city where
fog is common, we were fortunate
that the day was clear. The Civic
Auditorium might be rented to
insure ideal climatic conditions, or
else a tent might be erected over
the Parker Avenue field.
Seriously, though, the chill winds
obviously kept many away last
Monday. This can be expected each
year, for the balmy days are few
in our springs. While the celebration is primarily for the University,
it does aim to attract the attention
of outside friends of the school.
The celebration is missing one
of its purposes if it fails to insure
a  crowd  of outside  spectators.
Worry . . . Chief concern in the
life of many seniors today is what
to do tomorrow. Business conditions are apparently changing and
this May's graduates won't face a
world quite so jobless as did those
of two years back. The success
of the Work Bureau in obtaining
jobs for students would point to
this conclusion.
Seldom have better things been
established on the campus than the
Work Bureau. This is as essential
as a faculty in about ninety-nine
per cent of the universities of the
country, witness the extent of N. Y.
A. The Work Bureau should not
stop at obtaining temporary positions for students, but it should
look forward to placement of
graduates.
Similar organizations at other
colleges started with the purpose of
obtaining part-time employment and
have then developed in placement
bureaus for graduates. Such bureaus often came into being after
the war, when it was necessary for
the schools to get their students
and former students back into
civilian life.
An effective Work Bureau will
be a most valuable aid to the University, for it will attract many students who might otherwise give up
hope of attending college. The
Bureau is a local common good—
it should be the pet enthusiasm
of every student.
Formal . . . Proposal to make the
opening night of the "Merry Gen-
tlement" a formal affair was a few
weeks ago something funny to say.
At present it seems that the Don
first nighters may appear in the
stiff shirts! This is an idea. We
have never heard of it before at
any University. It has a collegiate
air, for it certainly is no attempt
to ape the opera-society shows. It
is an attempt to be different. But
being different requires courage,
usually too much. If Dons and
their partners appear in formal
attire, Wednesday, April 23, all
other events will be forgotten. The
year will be identified as that of
the "formal first night." U. S. F.
would have something new.
If students will get into the spirit
of the occasion, the formal opening
would be excellent. Unless there is
united sentiment the idea had better be dismissed, or else there will
be confusion as to the ushers.
Satire . . . The neatest bit of
satire that has ever come to our
attention is the societies of future
war veterans and gold star mothers
that have been organized on some
campi by liberal students. Taking
a poke at the next fellow is common and easy enough, but these
blows are generally blundering haymakers. The future veterans and
gold star mothers societies have the
unmOst in finesse and deal a cutting blow. This idea ought to be
awarded the prize of attaining the
height of the ludicrous. It is truly
momentous.
Work   Started
On New Issue
Of Quarterly
Second Spring Number
to Appear on Campus
April 20
NEW WRITERS
Editors Urge Submission
of Manuscripts by
Students
Second spring issue of the "San
Francisco Quarterly" will appear on
the campus on April 20. This was
the statement made this week by the
Editorial Board, which Tuesday began work on the new number.
Contributors to the new issue
are not yet known. New writers
will probably appear; both new
faculty men and students are being sought.
Probable Contributors
Dr. E. C. Branchi, of the Italian
and Spanish departments, is tentatively listed as the author of one of
the leading articles. Dr. Branchi has
written several books in Spanish,
English and Italian on a number of
diverse subjects.
His Italian books include "The
Sea", "The Koran", translated from
the Arabic, "The Storm" and "Dagoes."
Dr. Branchi numbers among his
works articles for university quarterlies. Most recent of this type is
"Memories of the Life and Voyages
of Doctor Philip Mazzei", which
was published by the William and
Mary Quarterly Historical Magazine.
A. Russel Berti, of the repart-
ments of English and Political Science, will probably be represented in the Quarterly pages. The
nature of his selection is not yet
known.
Wants Articles
Lewis A. Daugherty, member of
the Editorial Board, urged students
to submit manuscripts. He pledged
careful consideration of all papers
turned in.
The "Quarterly" is edited by
Dougherty, Bert Buzzini, Gus Donoghue, Bob Pease and the Rev. Albert I. Whelan, S.J., members and
moderator, respectively, of Kappa
Lambda Sigma, upper division literary honor society.
SENIORS TO
BE RELIEVED
All senior students who
have an extra dollar will be
relieved of them shortly, due
to collection of deposits on
the Senior Book, memorial
opus, being prepared by the
Senior Class.
The dollar deposit will
serve as down payment on
the volume, release of which
is expected by the early part
of May. Maximum price of
the thirty-two page book will
be two dollars.
Work Bureau
Gets 60 Jobs
Student Applications Are
Now Available
Sixty calls have been made by the
newly formed Student Work Bureau, which has become, overnight,
one of the busiest  campus  groups.
Under the direction of Ed Sweeney, the Bureau has been busy filling applications and has not had
time to undertake its program,
which calls for interviewing of
prominent heads of local business
organizations.
File  Applications
Student applications are now
available and may be filled out and
filed in the Student Body office.
The sub-committees under the
direction of George Cronin, John
Conway and Vincent Mullins will
get under way with their programs
immediately after the coming quar
terly  examinations.
Cronin, Bill Horan, Modesta Fa
rina and Alan Dohrmann have been
in charge of the filling of the
application   blanks.
It   is  the   hope  of  the  organiza
tion   to   secure  part-time   work  for
students    during    the    school    and
summer   vacations    and    to    place
seniors  on their graduation.
USF Celebrates President's
Day with Games and Rally
Father Ring States Day Held in Honor of USF
Anniversary Rather Than of Person;
Trophies Awarded
Stating that the annual President's
Day celebration was held in reality
"in honor of the eighty-third anniversary of the founding of the University of San Francisco," and not in
honor of the President himself, Rev.
Harold E. Ring, S. J., President of
the University, was guest of the
huge program of athletic competition, luncheon, entertaniment, and
amateur show on last Monday in
what has been termed the most
comprehensive President's Day affair held on the campus.
Bike Racing to Crooning
Tre program of events, ranging
from bike races to crooning, covered  a full day beginning at  10
a. m. with a bagball contest between Juniors and Freshmen and
closed with an amateur hour, with
Buddha,   dean   of   the   amateur
m. c.'s, acting in that capacity.
At noon, dividing the athletic program  into equal  parts,  a luncheon
was held for students in the lounge.
Speaking as representative of Mayor
Angelo J. Rohsi was George Fantasy,
his executive secretary.
Father Ring addressed the group,
which included St. Ignatius High
School seniors, telling of the history
of the University, and the celebration of its anniversary on this day.
Gus Donoghue chairmaned during
the course of the luncheon.
Wisler Amasses Points
Handling the whole of the
President's Day athletic events
were "Scotty" Gordon, chairman,
and Joe Misuraca. In the finals of
the initial event of the day the
Sophomores defeated the Frosh in
the bagball contest, 18-0. The
Pentathalon, five track and field
events, was won by Les Wisler,
who garnered a total of 3,377
points.
Ray Peterson, stellar grid half,
took the football punting contest,
with average kicks of 63 yards.
Walt Harrison was second with 54,
and Braga third with an average of
51  yards.
Gridders Win Relay
The  Athletic  Rally, which found
stars of all sports competeing, was
won by the football team composed
of    Pete    Wells,    Arnie    Arneson,
Charlie Hale and Johnnie Swanson.
Stagemen Stage Triumph
The stage crew won over other
groups in the organization relay.
The   team   consisted   of   Willis
O'Brien, Tom Casey, Harry Sloan
and    Maritzen.     The    200-pound
race found Arvin Hedman, of the
Cameramen five, victorious.
Earl  Finnerty averaged 54 yards
per throw to win the football passing contests, McCaffery was second
with 53, and Arneson third with 52.
Racing   in    one    of   the    feature
events   of  the  day,   the  President's
Race, were the heads of campus organizations  vied  for  track  honors,
which were won by Willis O'Brien
of the Stage Crew.   Walter Pelle of
the  Bio Chem Club followed, with
Lewis      Dougherty,      representing
KLS, scampering in third.
Opening the afternoon's program
was  the  Twenty Grand  Marathon,
won by the Class of '38 for the second consecutive year.   The obstacle
race meant victory for Lyle Hastings, with Palmer and Daly running
second and third, respectively.
Soccer Battle
In a soccer battle between Seniors and Juniors, President Donoghue, Applegate, McNulty, Kern
and  Sexton  eked out a 2-1  win
over    Juniors    Ragan,    Halisey,
Quilicy, George Murphy and Jack
Horner.
Edward  Lynch  found himself in
front   in   the   bike   race,   peddling
round and round the Parker Avenue
course just ahead of Al Theusen.
Pupils Even Score
In  another  feature  of  the  afternoon's program the students nosed
out the faculty 8-7 in a baseball contest of hits and errors.   Father Albert Whelan pitched stellar ball for
the faculty, with Professor Alexan-

FIRST WORK
Printer Gets Outline of
Thirty-two Page
Book
The hidden form of official Senior
Book photographer, Joe Margucci,
concealed underneath a black hood,
behind a constantly shifting tripod,
heralded the institution of actual
work on the journal of activity to be
published by the graduating class,
when the intrepid cameraman was
"on the spot" at all of the President's Day events last Monday.
Outlines Ready
Outlines for the thirty-two page
book have already been submited
to the printer, and it is expected
that all type matter and  photographic  work  will  be   turned   in
within the next two weeks.   Release of the books is expected by
the early part of May.
No   appropriations   or   unwanted
funds being on hand, practically the
entire cost of publication will have
to be covered by actual sales of the
book.  Final price will depend on the
number of copies sold.  Two dollars
is  the  maximum,  with  a  reduction
promised if more than one hundred
copies are sold.
Picture Book
Pictures of all seniors, of the
principal upper division societies
and activities groups, and several
formal and informal pictures of
the camus will comprise the majority of the volume. A short history of the present senior class by
Lewis Dougherty will also be
included.
Editors Busy
Co-editors George Helmer and
Don McCarthy are at present making final arrangements for the taking of the individual pictures of
senior men. These pictures will be
in cap and gown, and those who
desire may have large copies finished of themselves.
Promotional activity among seniors was started this week by
George Cronin. His avowed purpose
is to collect the one dollar deposit
required of all those who wish to
secure copies by the end of next
week.
Sufficient books will be printed to
cover the orders secured by depositors and no further copies will be
available.
Dean Announces

Banquet Closes
Ruggers' Season
Thirty members of the Rugby
team, managers and coaches,
brought the present playing season
to a close with a banquet last night
at  the  Elks'  Club  on  Pose  Street.

Juniors Sell Prom
Bids; Refreshment
Lounge May Open
Bids for the Annual Junior Prom
will be out on Monday and will go
on sale immediately. The committee is holding a bid drive from
March 28 to April 3, and hopes to
close the bid sale at this time.
Engraved invitations, a new
innovation on the part of the
third year men will be put into
effect this year. The invitations
will be presented to each senior.
Something New Under Sun
One of the big features of this
year's dance will be the truly novel
lighting arrangement of the club.
The USF crest inscribed on a green
and gold background will be used as
the color scheme.
This year's dance will be a tribute
to the Seniors and a program
scheme bearing this out will be
adopted.
The setting this year is the beautiful Devonshire Country Club
above San Carlos off El Camino
Real highway.
Unreserved bids still remain
and may be purchased Monday
from the committee, which is
composed of Bob Moore, Ed
Moran, Leo Broyer, Greg Higuera, Dave Walker and John
Hopkins.
The bids are priced at $2.50. Purchase of bids before the Easter recess was urged.
New Band
No announcement of an orchestra
has been made as yet, but present
choice seems to indicate that a new
band will be heard and featured radio artists will be presented as vocalists.
Reports that Seniors will attempt
to sell their bids because of the
popularity of the dance brought the
following comment from Bob
Moore, Class President: "It will be
impossible under the invitational
system to transfer bids. But if this
should be done we will have a man
on the door who can identify the
bearer of each Senior invitation."
Present indications point to a sellout, and because of the number of
free bids given to Seniors only a
limited number can be placed on
sale.
Refreshment Lounge
It is planned to keep the refreshment lounge of the club
open, but no definite announcement of this was forthcoming at
this time.
Committeemen have been restricted to selling only one bid to a
student in order to give as many
students as possible a chance to attend and to prevent scalping.
Pajus to Conduct
Round Table on
Palo Alto Campus
Jean Pajus of the Political Science Department of the University,
has been invited to attend and to
conduct a round table on the Stanford Campus on the subject of the
European Balance of Power and
the   Present  Situation.
The round table is to be a feature
of a conference on War and Peace
which   is   sponsored   by   various
groups  on the  Stanford campus,
notably   the   International   Relations Club of the "Farm."
The   conference  will   be   held   on
the afternoon and evening of April
21.   Drayton S. Bryant, who is the
chairman    of    the   conference,    extended the invitation to Pajus early
part of this week.   Members of the
USF  student  body  will  remember
Mr.   Bryant as  the  brilliant  leader
of   the   Stanford   delegation  at   the
International   Relations   Conference
held    on    the    USF    campus    last
semester.
Several members of the University of San Francisco have expressed a desire to attend the conference
with Mr. Pajus among them are
Noel Dyer, Steve Gilardi and Paul
Pahnke.
Porras,  Carberry
Debate UC Squad
Louis Porras and William Car-
berry will represent the Gavel, freshman debating society, tonight when
a U. C. squad invades the local campus  to  argue  the   Townsend  plan.
The Don debaters will take the
negative of the question, "Resolved:
That the Townsend Plan is the most
feasible plan for economic recovery."
Carberry and Porras last argued
this question with Lowell High
School on March 13. Tonight's debate, like the Lowell one, will be
a no-decision affair.

APRIL 18 IS DATE
Dinner Honors Both Law
and Commerce Fourth
Year  Students
A legal menu will be featured at
the annual Law-Commerce banquet,
which will be held Saturday evening, April 18, in the Italian room
of the Hotel St. Francis. The banquet will be. given by the third year
classes in the Law and Commerce
Divisions in honor of the graduating
students.
"Property" will be the cocktail
that will be first served at the festive board. This is a potent concoction, guaranteed to "put your head
in a whirl," according to the evening law students.
Soup and Fish
"Domestic relations" is the title
of the soup, which will be slightly
strained.
The fish course has been called
"Conflict of Laws," being a
course for which the diligent ones
must bone.
Hors d'oeuvres will also tickle
palates. This course will be known
as "Legal Bibliography and Agency," the relishes.
Entree
Main dish of the evening will be
"Contracts and Torts," the meat
of law.    Get this and your worries are at an end, moaned men of
night law.
Dessert  will  be   "Legal   Ethics,"
the  course  used   on   formal   occasions; while "Taxation" will be the
demi-tasse,  so  called  because  it  is
"just swallowed."
Entertainment and a prominent
speaker will also be on the program
for the evening, Jim Gallagher, secretary of the Evening Division,
promised. Over $250 has been set
aside for entertainment. What the
nature of this will be has not yet
been decided.
New Interest Shown
Students in the pre-legal group
of the Night School are manifesting interest in the banquet for the
first  time  in  several  years,  Jim
Gaughran, president of the third
year class, said.    Several have already purchased their tickets.
Officers stressed that the banquet
is not given merely for the seniors
in  the  Law  Division,  but also for
those in the Commerce Division. It
is held in honor of all fourth year
Night School students, they stated.
A  larger representation than usual
is expected from the Commerce Division,   according  to  Jim Carmody,
who is selling tickets to this group.
Committee
Committeemen are: Al Buchner,
treasurer of the Night School; John
Smith, author of the U. S. F. victory song; Ted Groezinger, Bill
Slattery and Bernie Ward.
Entertainment will be handled by
Slattery.
Announcement of speakers and
guest will be made in the next issue
of the "Foghorn."
Gleemen Sing in

The Basilicans, a social group of
the younger members of St. Anne's
Parish, last Monday evening heard
several selections at the semi-monthly meeting, held in the Parish Hall,
13th Avenue and Irving Street.
Excerpts from the "Merry Gentlemen," Glee Club-College Players
production which will be seen in the
Little Theatre next month, comprised the offerings of the Don students.
T. Martin Smith, Al Theusen,
George Cronin, John Leith, Ed
Sweeney, Leo Broyer, Greg Higuera

Players to Enact
Life of Burbank
On Air Tomorrow

to the study of nature and especially
plant life.
He was the originator of the
stoneless prunes, n e w apples,
peaches, nuts and other valuable
fruits, flowers and grains.
The drama will show the eventual
success of the Santa Rosa scientist
who was responsible for so many
innovations in fruit and plant culture.

Moments in History, Art, Literature
and Science," broadcast Saturday
nights over station KSFO from 8:30

finishing their works, when the
Players present "Burbank" over
the KSFO microphone. Willis
Parker continuity man for the
USF actors has penned this latest
offering.
Suitable Plays
Mr, Gill promised that all plays
suitable for air presentation would
be used and the author credited. Any

Write Now
Several scripts have already been
submitted and many more are expected to be in the hands of the
judging board by Monday noon.
Willis Parker, who has written the
plays presented  thus far by the
Players in their weekly program,
stated, when questioned as to the
length  of time necessary to produce a script, that a week-end provided time enough to write several
plays.
The prize offered for the winning
play was voted recently by the
Executive Committe.
