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!

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.

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.

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
