HOLD SECOND QUARTER EXAMINATIONS NEXT WEEK *~~m COLLEGE PLAYERS ON KSFO, SATURDAY NIGHT VOL.XIV.No.il 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- (Continucd on page 2) Editors Begin Memory Book Picture Work Photographer Margucci Snaps President's Day Events 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 Summer Nite Law A summer session of the Night School of Law was announced this week by Dean John D. O'Reilly. The session will extend from May 25 to June 19. Among courses which will be given are Labor Law, Partnerships and Water Law. Prof. Edward Hogan will conduct the course in Labor Law. Partnerships will be given by Prof. William Schaeffer, while Prof. A. Bodfish will give the course in Water Law. Two units will be given for each course. Registration for the courses is now being held by Miss Proctor, secretary of the School of Law. 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. On the evening's program were speeches from Coach Ivan Mareovich, Manager Edward J. Lynch, and several members of the squad. A new captain for the coming season was to have been elected at the dinner. The team did not play under captaincy this year. Those present included Coach Mareovich, Lynch, Amy Arneson, Ray Carr, Gene Cervelli, Walter Dietz, Hank Del Baggio, -George Frates, E. Garrett, Bill Golden, Doug Hagens, Charley Hale,, Lyle Hastings, George Helmer, Bob Lanctot, Tom Mahoney, Don McCarthy, Bill McNulty, Bob Oakley, Willis O'Brien, Tom O'Dwyer, Tom Rice, William Thornton, Wil- iam Weir, Alan White, Chris Gar- gates, Charles Finerty, Jack Clifford, Pete Wells, Joe Halisey and Rod Reed. 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. Nite Students' Banquet Stars 'AH Law Menu' Courses Are Legal From First to Last Swallow 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 Relief Program On CBS Station The USF Glee Club's famed double quartet continued its season of intense activity with two performances this week. Last night the group appeared before the KFRC- CBS microphone as a part of the Flood Relief Program, directed by Buddah, local m. c. 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 and Tom Brady are the members of the group. Smith, Leith and Broyer managed to appear on the Amateur night program at the President's celebration, held on the same evening. Players to Enact Life of Burbank On Air Tomorrow The portrayal of the life of Luther Burbank will be the work of the next radio program of the College Players on KSFO, Saturday night at 8:30 o'clock. Bert Buzzini, as has been the case in the other plays, will enact the the leading role, the part of Luther Burbank of the radio drama. Burbank won fame as the scientist and naturalist who was devoted 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. The regular radio player's cast will support Buzzini in his characterization of Burbank. Helen Zak, Bobbe Trefts, Al Maggini and Charles Keenan will have major parts in the drama. Leads Chosen For Operetta Formal First Night Probable Big news was released today by the Glee Club musical director, Fred Brown, who gave out a tentative list of the leading parts in the coming production of the "Merry Gentlemen." Leo Broyer is slated to play the leading role. Johnny Leith the comic lead; Lloyd Coper- tinti will play Chris, while Charles Becker will take the part of the soda dispenser. The parts await the confirmation of College Players' Director, James J. Gill, who is scheduled to take over the reins of the stage in "Merry Gentlemen" early next week. Fred Brown has completed work for the musical background. The play is scheduled to come off on April 22, 23, and 24. Work on the program has already begun and is progressing rapidly. Sweeney Publicity Man Ed Sweeney has been put in charge of the publicity committee. Arrangements under the direction of George Cronin and Tom O'Dwyer at present call for a formal opening night. The members of the Glee Club have been practicing the numbers to be produced in the Little The atre every day during the noon hour and are enthusiastic about the production. Few Roles Open Other members of the cast will be selected by Mr. Gill. The largest addition to the 1936 version of the "Merry Gentlemen is the rewriting of the entire second act to include eight dramatic se quences. Gleemen Sing at Casey Breakfast The now famous double quartet of the Glee Club will be heard at the Knights of Columbus annual Communion breakfast to be held this Sunday. The breakfast will be held by the K. C. Council 880, in the Hotel St. Francis, and will commence at 9:30 Radio Script Contest Ends MondayNoon No Manuscripts Will Be Accepted After Deadline TEN DOLLAR PRIZE All Suitable Plays Will Be Used, Director Gill Promises Students writing scripts for the College Players' Radio Script Contest today were warned that deadline for the submission of manuscripts is Monday noon. No papers will be accepted after this time. Ten dollars is the prize that is offered to the author of the play deemed best by the board of judges. For Air Program Purpose of the contest is to obtain scripts for the College Players' weekly radio program, "Dramatic Moments in History, Art, Literature and Science," broadcast Saturday nights over station KSFO from 8:30 to 9:00 p.m. James J. Gill, director of the Players, reminded that the scripts should be suitable for this program and the subjects chosen from this field. A final opportunity to gain an idea of the exact demands made by the radio play will be had tomorrow night by those revising and 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 changes necessitated by radio dramatic technique will be made, however. Plays will be judged by a board consisting of Rev. Albert I. Whelan, S. J., Dean, Lewis A. Daugherty, member of the Editorial Board of the "Quarterly," the editor of the "Foghorn" and Mr. Gill. Announcement of the winning playwright will be made in next week's issue of the "Foghorn." 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. Leith Sings in Palace Amateur Collegiate Nite Johnny Leith, winner of the President's Rally, last Monday night, will appear on the Palace Hotel College Amateur Night next Wednesday upon the invitation of Paul Pendarvis, Palace orchestra leader. Leith was chosen from a number of contestants by Pendarvis, who was the sole judge of the evening. Next Wednesday's contest will be the second sponsored by the hotel. Representatives from all Bay region universities and colleges will appear. Special features have been arranged for the college students.

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.

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.
