San Francisco Foghorn

              First College Encounter of 1937 Set for Sunday at Kezar
HERE WE GO! The University of San Francisco varsity runs through
plays, similar to this one. Plenty of action will be seen Sunday at
Kezar Stadium when the Dons meet St. Mary's of Texas in the Pacific
Coast grid opener. The gentleman concealing the football as he
travels toward a hole a mile wide is Sal Seeno, fullback. On the left
Earl Finnerty takes out Dan Benedetti.   Flying through the air is
Eldon Shearing, guard, as Earl Bolster, halfback, puts an effective
block on him. Extreme right, Carl Johanson gets under the diving

The Fair now has a construction
record of approximately forty per
cent of all buildings under way, as
the building program passed the
$6,000,000 mark this month on the
way to its §16,000,000 total.
Building on Treasure Island now
proceeds at an increased pace on the
mammoth construction project of an
International Exposition and giant
airport of the future.
The International Exhibits Palace and the Palace of Fine Arts, to
become hangars in 1940, are virtually completed. Six huge exhibit palaces are in advanced stages
of construction. The Fair's Administration Building and future
air terminal, four elaborate pavilion structures, the great 400-foot
Exposition Tower, and other construction projects, are also well
under way.
FINAL TOUCHES
Ranking among the world's largest
structures for airport purposes, the
Fair's concrete and steel Fine Arts
and International buildings are now
receiving final touches. These structures, measuring 287 by 335 feet,
were erected at a cost of $800,000.
The three-story Administration
Building, also costing $800,000, is
now up to its third story in concrete.
Four ferry slips, a wharf structure
and the ferry terminal building, involving contracts totaling a half
million dollars, are well past the halfway mark. Work also has started on
the 400-foot concrete and steel tower,
the architectural keystone of the Exposition. Four large pavilion buildings surrounding the central court
are under construction as well.
TAKE RING ORDERS
Senior rings for the class of '38
may now be ordered by members of
the Senior class. All orders should
he placed as soon as possible with
Tully Simoni. senior president.
Framework of three of the exhibit palaces nears completion and
three other palaces are under construction. These buildings average
two hundred feet in width and vary
in length from four hundred to
778 feet.
Construction on the first unit of
roadway on Yerba Buena Island is
now nearing conclusion at a cost of
$100,000. Work on a 3,000,000-gallon
reservoir, which is being cut into
the solid rock of Yerba Buena to
serve as the Exposition's source of
water supply, is well under way.
Work is also starting on the $113,000
pipe line from San Francisco to the
reservoir.
PAYROLL HUGE
Close to a thousand men are now
employed on Treasure Island on the
construction of roads and buildings
by a dozen contractors. In addition
several hundred workmen are engaged at Balboa Park on preliminary
work of the $1,500,000 horticulture
and landscaping program. Including
250 employees of the Exposition,
and WPA employees, total Exposition-connected employment stands
at 2,300 persons. The payroll, exclusive of federal relief workers, is approximately $200,000 per month.
Russell Keil Says
Old Flag No Good
In a letter to The Foghorn,
Russell D. Keil, graduate of the
University of San Francisco, said
that the old Foghorn flag, topping
page one before this semester,
wasn't much.
Writing across a clipping of the
story, inserted in The Foghorn
two weeks ago, concerning comment on the new flag, Keil, originator of the old one, said: "I drew
the old one in 1929 and never did
think much of it."
Start Work on
1937 Issue of
Don Year Book
Actual work on The Don,
student annual, is now underway with the beginning of the
work last Monday.
Already, nearly 75 per cent
of the Seniors have had their pictures
taken for the individual senior picture section. The remainder of the
photos will be taken tomorrow. Seniors have been reminded that tomorrow is the last day for the taking
of the individual photos.
DEVISE PLANS
Make-up plans are being devised
and it is expected that the organizing
group will have something novel in
the arrangement of the sections of
the publication It has been promised that the book will be radically
different from those standard books
issued annually by colleges.
Financing of the project is being
considered at the present time. As
yet, no definite word has been released on the matter, although it is
expected that the preliminary details
will be concluded before the end of
the month.
Staff appointments have not been
made and they, too, will be released
next month.
FINISH WORK
This month, the preliminary work
is being finished.
The 1938 edition will feature pictures in unique arrangement and
style. Plain layouts are being discarded in favor of a somewhat radical plan in annual construction.
Bill Muller, president of the student body, will submit The Don staff
appointments, with the approval of
the Executive Board.
Last year saw the revival of an
annua! at the University of San
Francisco. The book was the first
one to appear since 1929. Campus
opinion favored the book as a
"starter" for a new era in annual
publishing on the Hilltop.
It is expected that the option system will again be used this year. The
plan met with approval on the last
book.
Relations Club
Meets Today
Following the plan of the International Relations Club, members of the
organization will listen today at
noon to a lecture from the faculty advisor. Mr. Pajus, who will address
the group on a subject of international interest. The club, with Jack
O'Rourke in the presidential role,
will listen to a discussion of the Sino-
Japanese conflict in relation to its
economic and  political  significance.
Today's meeting will be the first
for the new members who have been
admitted into the society in the past
week. Tentative plans have been
made for the regional convention to
be behl at Mills College in Oakland.

will gather in the auditorium at 11
o'clock this morning to participate in
a rally for the game with St. Mary's
of Texas. Short periods are in effect.
Jack Horgan, master of ceremonies, hopes that he will be able to present outside talent in the form of a
vocalist from Sterling Young's orchestra, this being the result of several days' negotiations.
Entertainment from the students'
ranks will consist of accordion solos
by Tully Simoni and several numbers from the glee club's double
quartet.
The St. Maiy's coach, Frank
Bridges, will probably be presented,
and one of the Texans' stars, Doug
Locke, will be asked to say a few
words. Comment from the Don's
side will be furnished by Coach
George Malley.
Bob Horner is to lead the students
in songs and yells.
Glee Club Appears

"University of San Francisco
Night" at the Fairmont Hotel.

football game, to be played in Kezar

Dancing Under
Stars for Soph
Drag October 2
"Dancing under the stars of
Marvelous Marin" will be the
offering of the Sophomore class
at its annual Drag, scheduled
for the Meadow Country Club
in Marin County, Saturday evening,
October 2.
There actually will be dancing under the stars, according to Chairman
Charles Murphy, for a balcony is
adjacent to the ballroom and the
Dons can take the air at their
pleasure. An indirect lighting system will be used.
DANCING CHOICE
As well as having their choice of
indoor or outdoor dancing, dancers
will have their pick of lilting melodies or hot swing, for the committee
has selected two orchestras, which
will alternate during the evening. Al
Dohrmann and his thirteen-piece orchestra, along with regular vocalists,
will fill half the evening's bill while
the Original Dixieland Swing Band
will complete the entertainment end.
Dohrmann's orchestra now rates
top ranking as a result of becoming
affiliated with the Music Corporation
of America which m.ikes all arrangements for engagements of the better
orchestras in the more popular dance
spots.
COAKLEY UNIT
The Dixieland Swing Band is one
of Tom Coakley's units.
The Meadow Country Club is located near Fairfax in Marin
County and is one of the most exclusive spots in the Bay area. The
committee, looking for an entirely
new location and a different atmosphere from that of the usual clubs,
hit upon this site as the best possible one to fill their requirements.
Bids, which are priced at two
dollars, go on sale today. They
may be purchased from the following committee members: Chairman
Charles Murphy, Bob Barbieri, Joe
O'Looney, Ed Giringhelli, Lawrence
O'Toole, John Mangan, Charles
Breen, Jack Hughes, Bill Scott,
Gordon Lewis, and Max Lapkin. The
dance will be limited to two hundred
couples.
As usual, it will be a strictly formal
affair, with the no-corsage rule in
effect.   Refreshments will be served.
Dillon Consoles
Cutting Students
Students fined for ante and post
holiday absences, referred to as
"cuts," may find consolation in
the 1890 catalogue of Saint Ignatius College, according to William
J. Dillon, registrar.
Mr. Dillon revealed today that
gay ninety students at the old
University of San Francisco who
persisted in cutting would be subject, according to the catalogue,
"to the loss of their seats."
Malleymen Meet St.
Mary's in Opener
of Pacific Coast
By BERCH DOUGHERTY
Sports Editor
The time hast come.
Yes, the time has indeed come for the people to lend their
ears and open their eyes, for on Sunday the University of San
Francisco tackles the St. Mary's aggregation of San Antonio,
Texas, at Kezar Stadium, in a contest which ushers in the
*— —<3> football season of 1937 on the Pacific
Coast.
RENAISSANCE
 EDITORIAL	
By JOE HAUGHEY
Don Glendon, chief critical
spirit of the "San Francisco News"
sports department, has a descriptive and somewhat satiric estimate
of the University of San Francisco's
football renaissance. He says in
his cute and imaginative way: "Mr.
Malley sees a revolutionary football empire, with its towers rising
*~ lh<i sky and the angel Gabriel
as the scorekee^-i, , -tting up
those beautiful "7s" behind a groat
USF."
Glendon is not the only one
aware that a new strength is
sweeping new life into the school.
His general knowledge that there
now is steel in the sinews of the
Don; the slug-o-beds on the local
dailies are now echoing Glendon,
even if in rougher and inferior
prose. The tone of the columnists
and railbirds is not so lofty and
disdainful, excluding, of course,
"The Examiner" clown "Press-
cooty" Sullivan.
Last year it was different. The
moaners made much dismal noise.
With the "Freeze-out Movement"
of the Conference as excuse, it
was no commonplace sight to see
the newspaper hacks pull rope and
toll the death-bells in mournful
cacophony. They seemed to take
a somewhat morbid delight in
stirring their kettles of embalming
fluid. But such gloomy dirges were
not confined to the newspaper
men. Within the citadel things
were   not   much   happier.
But now the croaking in the rain
barrel   has  died   away.    Glendon

Big Rod Chisholm, with the un-
worried look of a new-born babe,
enthusiastically predicts a huge
crowd. "Standing room only," chuckles Rod, and gives us reason to be-

BAND TO PLAY
Angelo  Fusco,  director  of the
Don band, is ready to  twirl the
baton and provide a musical setting such  as the likes  of Kezar
Stadium has never heard. The band
boys with their gold blouses and
black pants and sombreros, should
be as colorful as they are tuneful.
This initial  game  will likewise
mark   the  debut  of our  coaches
Malley and Tassi.  The manner in
which the team plays will reflect
on the capabilities of this duo. In-
