■L "FOGHORN" IN FINAL SPRING APPEARANCE ON FRIDAY, MAY 14 VOL. XVI, No. 15 ASUSF OFFICERS TO BE INSTALLED ON THURSDAY, 11 A.M. SAN FRANCISCO, MAY 7, 1937 Law School Given Full Approval in American Bar Ass'n Advanced by Council on Legal Education and Admissions to New Rating; Requirements Are Met Insta USF Heads On Thursday Student officers of the University of San Francisco will be installed Thursday morning at 11 o'clock. The installing officer will be Ed Moran, chairman of the board of student control. Father Harold E. Ring, president of the university, and Father James Word was received this week by Charles H. Kinnane, Dean of the chool of Law of the University of San Francisco, that the School of aw has been advanced by the Council on Legal Education and Admis- ions to the Bar of the American Bar Association from provisional to ull approval. The rating of a school of law as^~ a fully approved school by the American Bar Association has been given to approximately eighty of the leading law schools of the country whose standards in regard to entrance requirements, full-time faculty, duration of the course of study and general administrative practices meet the requirements advocated by the American Bar Association. The original approval by the American Bar Association was limited to thirty-nine of the leading law schools in the country. Standards Raised In the course of the last fifteen years approximately forty additional law schools have so raised their standards as to become eligible for approval by the association. Approximately one-half of e law schools in the country ve not yet become eligible for American Bar Association approval. Out of the twenty law schools in the State of California, only three have had the full approval of the American Bar Association until this week. The School of Law of the University of San Francisco is the only law tchool in the city of San Francisco with an American Bar As- Lsociation approved rating. Requirements Named Among other requirements which must be met by approved schools are requirements that students, except special students, must have completed at least two years of college work before admission to the Law School, and that an adequate number of full-time teachers, not less than three, be employed so is to insure actual personal acquaintance and influence with the whole student body. The actual practice at the University of San Francisco School of Law has, however, been well above the minimum requirements in that three, instead of the mini, mum of two years of pre-legal education are required of applicants for admission to the Day Division of the Law School, and the school has employed double the minimum number of full-time law teachers required by the American Bar Association standards. Full-time teachers have been recruited from a wide range of localities and law schools, in order to make available to the students, teachers with different legal backgrounds, and different schools of legal thought. Law degrees from Yale, Harvard, Georgetown, Catholic University, oyola of New Orleans and Califor- lia, as well as from the University San Francisco, are held by the 1-time members of the law fac- :y. In addition to the full-time iculty, three experienced practi- ners have been employed as part- e teachers in the School of Law. Part-time teachers hold law degrees (Continued on Page 4) J. Lyons, dean of the College of Liberal Arts, will be present to address the students. Short Order A short order for classes will prevail on Thursday morning with all students being dismissed to attend the affair to be held in the auditorium. Entertainment will be supplied, in all probability, by the Glee Club and other student entertainers. Officers to be installed are Bill Muller, president; Jack Horgan, vice-president; Berch Dougherty, secretary, and Pete Sexton, treasurer. Outgoing officials are Jack Horner, student body president; Bill Muller, secretary, and John Hopkins, treasurer. Friday A TRIBUTE TO ROBERT EMMET MOORE By BERCH DOUGHERTY It was noon, Thursday. The Angelus had just rung and, as the last tone of the bell was carried into the distance, a soul responded. "Into Thy hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit." Eternity had spread its arms and in its Divine embrace had welcomed the soul so dear. Never questioning, never faltering, he answered the call of his Master, and Bob Moore, our Bob, had returned home. He was a brilliant scholar, a great athlete, an inspiring leader'of fellow men. He was loyal to his friends—he loved his Catholic religion. God made the world a little better place to live in when He sent Bob, and this tangible earth will be a good bit worse for His withdrawal of our comrade. Pens far more facile than mine and prompted by the men who sit behind the desks in the classrooms could write glowing accounts of the high scholastic achievements of Bob, who pursued his thirst for knowledge with the same unquenchable spirit which so distinguished his every accomplishment. However, a glance into the files for verification would but reveal: Bob Moore—an "A" student. Bob's attainments by no means ended with his books. A keen brain rendered to him a deep insight into the various sporting activities, and a wiry body enabled him to become outstanding on the baseball diamond. Bob's coolness under fire bespoke the courageous heart by which many a close game was won. It was this same coura- geousness which allowed him to bear so patiently the terrific suffering which characterized his last earthly days. "Blessed are they that suffer, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven." The magnetic smile which at once made everyone his friend sparkled not so much from parted lips revealing gleaming white teeth, but rather from his blue eyes which conveyed the expression of real sincerity. His was an honest smile. It was this feeling of trust which he seemed to infuse that no doubt caused the Student Body to sweep him into the office of vice-president last year. The zeal which produced such extraordinary results during the last semester was his way of thanking the students for their confidence. He never took anything for nothing. It is with absolute certitude that I say he was loyal to his friends. He had no enemies. He was everybody's friend—he was my pal. Even as he lay in agony on that bed of pain, his thoughts were turned towards those he has left behind. We who are left needs must sorrow, but, too, can we not rejoice? To him is given that eternal happiness for which this life is merely the threshold. We loved him, yes, but Sod loved him more. To me, his eyes always seemed to see into eternity. In their depths, there always seemed to be a mystical, magical longing which nothing earthly could satisfy. He was a friend, and those who were fortunate enough to share his friendship, treasured it. He was a leader, and those who heard his voice, wherever and whenever it called, were glad to follow. But best of all, he was a pal. He could laugh with you or he could weep with you. He could enter into your mood and read your heart; because of his love for God he possessed something of the Divine charity that seeing, understands. To you, Bob, our Friend, our Leader, and our Pal— All hail and farewell!

Hart Schafjner & Marx ESQUIRE CARTOON CAPTION CONTEST —write caption for above cartoon —get entry blank at MOORE'S 840 Market Street San Francisco The execution of the many planned President's Day activities were cancelled early this week by the committee in charge of the annual day. Difficulties, arising from the stormy weather on the originally scheduled day on March 19, necessitated its postponement. It was then set for Thursday, May 6, but yesterday failed to see its realization. The general committee, headed by President-elect Bill Muller, pointed out the further difficulty of attempting to conduct the many athletic activities yesterday, and decided to indefinitely postpone the affair. Trophies, which were awarded by many San Francisco business men and University of San Francisco clubs, will be retained and given to winners of the 1938 President's Day events, it was said. Appearance of Annual Slated ForNextWeek Book Dedicated to Bob Moore and Roy O'Farrell Bulletin Due to conditions beyond the control of the Annual Board, publication of "The Don" will be delayed a week, it was learned late last night. Saint Ivesmen Receive Donations for Window Plans for Installation in St. Ignatius Church Move Ahead Bernard Ward Elected Night School Chief Mountain Lasses Receive Awards for SFCW Sports With SFCW Women's Athletic Association heads convening in a final meet last Wednesday afternoon to elect officers and make fall and spring semester awards for athletics, the mountain sports department closed its books for the 36-37 term. Results of WAA elections were not available late yesterday, and no statement could be obtained regarding the names of those who received awards, although it was known that all who had consistently supported and attended sports events as scheduled would receive the awards. "A Dream Come True," in the person of The Don, will appear on the campus Wednesday noon, definitely promised the annual board. The Don will consist of 102 pages of material. Activities of the entire school year of 1936-7 will be covered in the publication. The book will be dedicated to the memory of Bob Moore and Roy O'Farrell. The dedication was written by Jack O'Rourke. Payments Received According to Frank Rovere, member of the annual board, final payment of $1.50 will be received every day until the day of distribution. One dollar was the cost of the original option with over 300 of them having been obtained by purchasers of the book. Rovere is in the booth located in the main corridor, during the noon hour. Students who wish to complete payment on the book are advised to settle all obligations with Rovere as soon as possible. Names 1938 Heads Announcement was made by the annual committee that Jack Clifford and Jim Madden will be in charge of editing the 1938 edition of The Don. Fditorial matter for the publication was completed last Friday afternoon when it was sent to the Graphic Arts Company, publishers of the book. It is expected that the forms will be locked with the book ready for the presses by Monday afternoon. The Don was scheduled for distribution this week, but unseen difficulties made this procedure impossible. Committee Enthusiastic However, adds the committee, the extra week being devoted to the publication will help toward the presentation of a better year book. Members of the committee expressed themselves as enthusiastic over the final plans for the book. Concentrated work on this year's annual was undertaken last January when the first option was sold to Mayor Angelo J. Rossi, chief executive of the City and County of San Francisco. With contributions being received from several state bar associations as the campaign got under way, plans for the installation of a St. Ives memorial window in St. Ignatius Church by the St. Ives Law Club moved into actuality this week. The plan to undertake the project of installing the stained-glass window in the church was instituted by A. Russell Berti, moderator of the St. Ivesmen. The idea follows in the footsteps of the American Bar Association, which carried out a similar project in the Cathedral of Treguier, near the birthplace of St. Ives. Patrons Named The list of patrons, forming an advisory committee, has been announced as follows: Judge Charles Boden, Lieutenant-Governor George J. Hatfield, Samuel T. Bush, Maurice E. Harrison, Judge Francis Garrecht of the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals, Justice William H. Langdon of the State Supreme Court, C. Harold Caulfield of the Board of Education, Albert A. Rosenshine, John H. Riordan, President of the San Francisco Bar Association; Florence M. McAuliffe, and Charles H. Kinnane, Dean of the University of San Francisco School of Law. According to word received from St. Ives Law Club officials, numerous contributions have been received for the window from many prominent San Francisco attorneys as well as state bar associations. The campaign will continue until sufficient funds are obtained to place into effect the beautiful memorial tribute to St. Ives in the Church. From all indications, it appeared that the actual installation is not far off. St. Ives is the patron saint of lawyers, and his feast day is celebrated annually on May 19. He was born at Kermartin, near Treguir, Brittany. St. Ives is said to have displayed great zeal in the discharge of his duty as an official for the Bishop of Treguir and did not hesitate to resist the unjust taxation of the king which he considered an encroachment on the rights of the Church. He also gained the title of advocate and patron of the poor by his charity. Corcoran Elected Sanctuary President James Corcoran was elected prefect of the Sanctuary Society for the coming year at an election held Wednesday. HewillsucceedMichael Kristovich, who is graduating. Patrick Deignan and Vincent Lawson were elected to the positions of assistant prefects. Corcoran has been in the organization for three years and the members look forward to a successful year under his leadership. Nomination of Former 'Foghorn' Head Confirmed Father Colligan, Former Treasurer And Qrounds Superintendent, Dies Twice within a week did death come to the University of San Francisco, when Father James A. Colligan, S. J., widely known San Francisco educator, passed away Sunday evening, scarcely more than 24 hours after the funeral of Bob Moore, vice-president of the Associated Students. Born in San Francisco 67 years ago, Father Colligan devoted his life to St. Ignatius Church, which he was instrumental in building in its present location during 1914, and to the University of San Francisco. Attended Old St. Ignatius St. Ignatius College, now USF, gave him his preliminary religious training. He later attended St. Louis University. During his 3U years of service at St. Ignatius Church, Fr. Colligan did much towards the improvement of the university. He was the guiding light behind the purchase of the adjoining property, formerly a cemetery, and in time to provide the university with a suitable campus. The field on Parker Avenue is another tribute to his energy and ability. Aided District It was through his efforts, too, that Parker Avenue was paved and cut through. He also obtained the improvement of Stanyan Street. Both of these moves increased the value of the high school and the university proper as educational institutions. He held the post of treasurer for a number of years, and at his death was superintendent of all the grounds and buildings making up the entire Hilltop school plant. The crowd at his funeral services evidenced the high regard in which he was held by all who had any connection with him. That he will be greatly missed by the university is a foregone conclusion. Casting ballots as a mere formality, the evening school elected student body officers last Monday night. Declared to be without precedent in what are usually hotly contested elections, but one candidate was nominated for each position, except for the post of secretary, where two aspirants ran. Confirm Nomination Barney Ward, former Law- Commerce editor of "The Foghorn" and a prominent member of the third year law class, was chosen president. Upon being advised of his official election, Ward stated, "It will be most difficult for the incoming administration to be more active and efficient than our present officers. However, it will be our aim to continue the program already mapped out of expanding activities and generally closer cooperation among all night students. We will endeavor to continue the amicable relationships started this year with the day school, that will result in a greater University of San Francisco." Others Chosen Other uncontested posts were filled by Russell Bengson, third year Commerce, as vice-president; John Castagnetto, member of the second year law class, as Treasurer; and Nat Andriotti, another Commerce student, sergeant-at-arms. The sole electoral contention was between Harold O'Day and Mark Paul, both of the pre-legal department, for the position of Secretary. Winner by a close margin, according to final tally released by executive officers, O'Day will take the oath of office next semester. It was pointed out by local observers that the new administration represents a general cross section of the whole night school student- body, which insures full cooperation of all units. Books Donated to Law School Library Honorable Charles W. Slack, prominent San Francisco attorney, recently donated a set of books for the University of San Francisco Law Library, it was revealed yesterday by the Law School. The set includes a group of Lawyers' Reports Annotated, and Annotated Cases. The aggregate number of volumes is 137. DonsName Costume Selections "What are you going to wear?" The question concerns those who will attend the Suppressed Desire Dance to be held in the college auditorium Saturday night, May 22. The Foghorn, taking up the question, received many and varied answers from those who contemplate attending the affair. Said Horner First to be interviewed was Jack Horner, student body president, who simply said, "I'm going as Jack Horner." But not stymied by jester Horner, The Foghorn reporter continued the interviews. Next to be questioned was Ed Feeney, who proclaimed that he was "going to roll in as a peanut." Rumor has it that Gene Cervelli is slated to appear as Cupid. This rumor could not be verified, as "Tiny" answered all questions with the usual congenial smile. Power Harry Ewing, said to be a prominent figure on the campus, is reported to be readying himself as "the power behind the throne," in short, a piano mover. Although Jack O'Rourke declined to comment on his costume, it was uncovered that Janet Munson, who pals with the O'Rourke boy, has a desire to attend as a bride. Jack Horgan, one of those responsible for the tragedy, states that he's slated for a two-hour session at one of the local Turkish bathhouses. The result will be a ripe tomato. But not much faith can be placed in that statement, say veteran campus leaders. Horse and Buggy Jack Murray will use a horse and buggy as a means of transportation. His associate in the enterprise will be Leo Broyer. Murray is to be an 1890 dandy; Broyer, a replica of a business manager for a circus. Don Butler, the man who wrote his senior thesis in Spanish, will take on the characteristics of a Don George Glover, who has played many a gangster part on the Gill stage, will assume that role for the examination postmortem dance. Unsuccessful Feat John Hopkins, treasurer of the student body, who has been accused of being a secret bondholder of the University of San Francisco, says that he will be in attendance as Mr. USF. An interpretation of the costume will be done by Mr. Hopkins himself, a feat not yet successfully performed. Of course, the juveniles, Ed Chambers, Raleigh Kelly and Tom Casey, will revert to form and come as "Joe College." Harry Sloan, who has made one appearance already this semester at the President's Day rally, will have a repeat performance as Hitler. This is said to be an easy task for the local "set-builder." Dear! Dearl Jack Brady and escort (Marie) will give opposition to the Spanish Don Butler, when they will appear as honest-to-goodness Mexicans. Also slated for dancing and costuming is Chuck Scully, senior class president, who is sitting up nights in an attempt to formulate some sort of a theme for "the lady who was known as Lou." J. Lloyd Copertini is another of the President's Day performers who will take on a second engagement. "Cope" will be attired as a "prune picker" with vocal selections of an "I ain't say- in' " nature included. BY JIM MADDEN It's going to be peculiar, odd, different and unusual! So chorused Professors Horgan, Muller and Conway, co-deans of the Suppressed Desire School of Dance, which is sponsoring the annual affair to be held Saturday evening, May 22. ® Blue books have been adopted as being in order for the evening. Realizing that fact, the trio of Horgan, Muller and Conway, Inc., has contacted officials of the university and the result has been the release of two tons of old and outmoded blue books. Of course, the blue books will be used in the scheme of decoration for the auditorium where the dance will be held. Blue Book Program Continuing in the blue book mood, which will be considered as a hangover from the examination period concluded the day before the dance, a combined blue book program and bid will be issued. Cost of the blue book, said to be a new high in blue book prices, will be 25 cents. The usual price for examination blue books is two for 5 cents, sold in the student co-op. On the other hand, 25 cents is considered to be a new low for a dance bid. Complications Arise The matter of gaining entrance to the alleged ballroom is becoming very complicated. This has resulted in a number of rulings by the heads of the School of Dance, latest and most popular institution of higher learning on the Pacific Coast. Of course, names of all of those attending the Suppressed Dance will appear in the "blue book," although it is claimed that social standings will not be enhanced by the procedure of entering one's name in a so-called "blue book." With the payment of 25 cents for one's blue book comes a rebate on cargo to be delivered the night of the dance. Fifty pounds (of each female) enters the ballroom free of charge. However, additional poundage will be assessed at the rate of 1 cent per pound. All those attending must be attired in costumes. Informal wear, other than that of a costume nature, will be sufficient bar to attendance at the dance. Costume Awards Prizes will be awarded to Don dancers considered by the executive heads to be dressed in the most unique and novel costumes. Nature of the prizes has not been released for publication, but it is promised that they will be different and peculiar. Professor Horgan wishes the statement appearing in last week's Foghorn to be corrected, in which it was stated that the "lighting effects will be novel." "No doubt, the decorations will be novel. But there is no reason to believe that there will be novel lighting effects. Such a condition would lead one to believe that myself and colleagues are attempting to break traditions," indignantly shouted Professor Horgan. "In fact, we will contemplate the holding of the dance sans lighting effects." Serious Conclave Another peculiar note was added when Jack Reed, director of physical properties, otherwise known as the janitor for the College of Liberal Arts Building, was contacted this week by the dance administration and reminded that the committee in charge was desirous of having all chairs removed from the "ballroom." Mr. Reed was asked to gather his forces together and clear the so- called ballroom of every chair that there might not be a single article of furniture left in the dancing pavilion. This time, Professor William Muller, otherwise referred to as the secretary and president-elect of the student body, comes to the rescue with an answer to this unusual procedure. Informal "At any dance there is a formal attitude concerning the entire affair. But this dance is very informal. In fact we are going to extremes in a desire to be informal. Some claim that the method of approach is actually peculiar," laughed Muller: "But, as I was going to say, we will not tolerate the presence of any (Continued on Page 4)

According to word received from St. Ives Law Club officials, numerous contributions have been received for the window from many prominent San Francisco attorneys as well as state bar associations. The campaign will continue until sufficient funds are obtained to place into effect the beautiful memorial tribute to St. Ives in the Church. From all indications, it appeared that the actual installation is not far off. St. Ives is the patron saint of lawyers, and his feast day is celebrated annually on May 19. He was born at Kermartin, near Treguir, Brittany. St. Ives is said to have displayed great zeal in the discharge of his duty as an official for the Bishop of Treguir and did not hesitate to resist the unjust taxation of the king which he considered an encroachment on the rights of the Church. He also gained the title of advocate and patron of the poor by his charity. Corcoran Elected Sanctuary President James Corcoran was elected prefect of the Sanctuary Society for the coming year at an election held Wednesday. HewillsucceedMichael Kristovich, who is graduating. Patrick Deignan and Vincent Lawson were elected to the positions of assistant prefects. Corcoran has been in the organization for three years and the members look forward to a successful year under his leadership. Nomination of Former 'Foghorn' Head Confirmed Father Colligan, Former Treasurer And Qrounds Superintendent, Dies Twice within a week did death come to the University of San Francisco, when Father James A. Colligan, S. J., widely known San Francisco educator, passed away Sunday evening, scarcely more than 24 hours after the funeral of Bob Moore, vice-president of the Associated Students. Born in San Francisco 67 years ago, Father Colligan devoted his life to St. Ignatius Church, which he was instrumental in building in its present location during 1914, and to the University of San Francisco. Attended Old St. Ignatius St. Ignatius College, now USF, gave him his preliminary religious training. He later attended St. Louis University. During his 3U years of service at St. Ignatius Church, Fr. Colligan did much towards the improvement of the university. He was the guiding light behind the purchase of the adjoining property, formerly a cemetery, and in time to provide the university with a suitable campus. The field on Parker Avenue is another tribute to his energy and ability. Aided District It was through his efforts, too, that Parker Avenue was paved and cut through. He also obtained the improvement of Stanyan Street. Both of these moves increased the value of the high school and the university proper as educational institutions. He held the post of treasurer for a number of years, and at his death was superintendent of all the grounds and buildings making up the entire Hilltop school plant. The crowd at his funeral services evidenced the high regard in which he was held by all who had any connection with him. That he will be greatly missed by the university is a foregone conclusion. Casting ballots as a mere formality, the evening school elected student body officers last Monday night. Declared to be without precedent in what are usually hotly contested elections, but one candidate was nominated for each position, except for the post of secretary, where two aspirants ran. Confirm Nomination Barney Ward, former Law- Commerce editor of "The Foghorn" and a prominent member of the third year law class, was chosen president. Upon being advised of his official election, Ward stated, "It will be most difficult for the incoming administration to be more active and efficient than our present officers. However, it will be our aim to continue the program already mapped out of expanding activities and generally closer cooperation among all night students. We will endeavor to continue the amicable relationships started this year with the day school, that will result in a greater University of San Francisco." Others Chosen Other uncontested posts were filled by Russell Bengson, third year Commerce, as vice-president; John Castagnetto, member of the second year law class, as Treasurer; and Nat Andriotti, another Commerce student, sergeant-at-arms. The sole electoral contention was between Harold O'Day and Mark Paul, both of the pre-legal department, for the position of Secretary. Winner by a close margin, according to final tally released by executive officers, O'Day will take the oath of office next semester. It was pointed out by local observers that the new administration represents a general cross section of the whole night school student- body, which insures full cooperation of all units. Books Donated to Law School Library Honorable Charles W. Slack, prominent San Francisco attorney, recently donated a set of books for the University of San Francisco Law Library, it was revealed yesterday by the Law School. The set includes a group of Lawyers' Reports Annotated, and Annotated Cases. The aggregate number of volumes is 137. DonsName Costume Selections "What are you going to wear?" The question concerns those who will attend the Suppressed Desire Dance to be held in the college auditorium Saturday night, May 22. The Foghorn, taking up the question, received many and varied answers from those who contemplate attending the affair. Said Horner First to be interviewed was Jack Horner, student body president, who simply said, "I'm going as Jack Horner." But not stymied by jester Horner, The Foghorn reporter continued the interviews. Next to be questioned was Ed Feeney, who proclaimed that he was "going to roll in as a peanut." Rumor has it that Gene Cervelli is slated to appear as Cupid. This rumor could not be verified, as "Tiny" answered all questions with the usual congenial smile. Power Harry Ewing, said to be a prominent figure on the campus, is reported to be readying himself as "the power behind the throne," in short, a piano mover. Although Jack O'Rourke declined to comment on his costume, it was uncovered that Janet Munson, who pals with the O'Rourke boy, has a desire to attend as a bride. Jack Horgan, one of those responsible for the tragedy, states that he's slated for a two-hour session at one of the local Turkish bathhouses. The result will be a ripe tomato. But not much faith can be placed in that statement, say veteran campus leaders. Horse and Buggy Jack Murray will use a horse and buggy as a means of transportation. His associate in the enterprise will be Leo Broyer. Murray is to be an 1890 dandy; Broyer, a replica of a business manager for a circus. Don Butler, the man who wrote his senior thesis in Spanish, will take on the characteristics of a Don George Glover, who has played many a gangster part on the Gill stage, will assume that role for the examination postmortem dance. Unsuccessful Feat John Hopkins, treasurer of the student body, who has been accused of being a secret bondholder of the University of San Francisco, says that he will be in attendance as Mr. USF. An interpretation of the costume will be done by Mr. Hopkins himself, a feat not yet successfully performed. Of course, the juveniles, Ed Chambers, Raleigh Kelly and Tom Casey, will revert to form and come as "Joe College." Harry Sloan, who has made one appearance already this semester at the President's Day rally, will have a repeat performance as Hitler. This is said to be an easy task for the local "set-builder." Dear! Dearl Jack Brady and escort (Marie) will give opposition to the Spanish Don Butler, when they will appear as honest-to-goodness Mexicans. Also slated for dancing and costuming is Chuck Scully, senior class president, who is sitting up nights in an attempt to formulate some sort of a theme for "the lady who was known as Lou." J. Lloyd Copertini is another of the President's Day performers who will take on a second engagement. "Cope" will be attired as a "prune picker" with vocal selections of an "I ain't say- in' " nature included. BY JIM MADDEN It's going to be peculiar, odd, different and unusual! So chorused Professors Horgan, Muller and Conway, co-deans of the Suppressed Desire School of Dance, which is sponsoring the annual affair to be held Saturday evening, May 22. ® Blue books have been adopted as being in order for the evening. Realizing that fact, the trio of Horgan, Muller and Conway, Inc., has contacted officials of the university and the result has been the release of two tons of old and outmoded blue books. Of course, the blue books will be used in the scheme of decoration for the auditorium where the dance will be held. Blue Book Program Continuing in the blue book mood, which will be considered as a hangover from the examination period concluded the day before the dance, a combined blue book program and bid will be issued. Cost of the blue book, said to be a new high in blue book prices, will be 25 cents. The usual price for examination blue books is two for 5 cents, sold in the student co-op. On the other hand, 25 cents is considered to be a new low for a dance bid. Complications Arise The matter of gaining entrance to the alleged ballroom is becoming very complicated. This has resulted in a number of rulings by the heads of the School of Dance, latest and most popular institution of higher learning on the Pacific Coast. Of course, names of all of those attending the Suppressed Dance will appear in the "blue book," although it is claimed that social standings will not be enhanced by the procedure of entering one's name in a so-called "blue book." With the payment of 25 cents for one's blue book comes a rebate on cargo to be delivered the night of the dance. Fifty pounds (of each female) enters the ballroom free of charge. However, additional poundage will be assessed at the rate of 1 cent per pound. All those attending must be attired in costumes. Informal wear, other than that of a costume nature, will be sufficient bar to attendance at the dance. Costume Awards Prizes will be awarded to Don dancers considered by the executive heads to be dressed in the most unique and novel costumes. Nature of the prizes has not been released for publication, but it is promised that they will be different and peculiar. Professor Horgan wishes the statement appearing in last week's Foghorn to be corrected, in which it was stated that the "lighting effects will be novel." "No doubt, the decorations will be novel. But there is no reason to believe that there will be novel lighting effects. Such a condition would lead one to believe that myself and colleagues are attempting to break traditions," indignantly shouted Professor Horgan. "In fact, we will contemplate the holding of the dance sans lighting effects." Serious Conclave Another peculiar note was added when Jack Reed, director of physical properties, otherwise known as the janitor for the College of Liberal Arts Building, was contacted this week by the dance administration and reminded that the committee in charge was desirous of having all chairs removed from the "ballroom." Mr. Reed was asked to gather his forces together and clear the so- called ballroom of every chair that there might not be a single article of furniture left in the dancing pavilion. This time, Professor William Muller, otherwise referred to as the secretary and president-elect of the student body, comes to the rescue with an answer to this unusual procedure. Informal "At any dance there is a formal attitude concerning the entire affair. But this dance is very informal. In fact we are going to extremes in a desire to be informal. Some claim that the method of approach is actually peculiar," laughed Muller: "But, as I was going to say, we will not tolerate the presence of any (Continued on Page 4) |
