XVII, No. 9 SAN FANCISCO, OCTOBER IS, 1937 Friday Plan Excursion To Los Angeles For Loyola Game <s>- Over Two Hundred in Party of Don Rooters: Forecast of Muller Plans for the special excursion to the USF-Loyola game are being rapidly whipped into shape by Bill Muller, student body president, who states that the clash on October 31 will have two hundred Don rooters in attendance. Two special trains will carry the USF followers to Los Angeles. The main special, which will accommodate the majority of the students, will leave the station at Third and Townsend at 6:15 o'clock Friday evening, October 29. It will arrive in Los Angeles at 8 o'clock Saturday morning. Another Train Another train, to carry alumni and students who must work on Saturday, will leave that evening at 6:15 o'clock and arrive in Glen- dale at 7:33 o'clock Sunday. Literature about the trip will soon be circulated and tickets placed on sale by the committee, composed of Bill Muller, Jack Horgan, Tom Casey and John Swanson. Headquarters for the excursionists will be the Rosslyn Hotel, the second largest in Los Angeles, located at Fifth and Main streets. The hotel will furnish free transportation from the depot and back. Special rates, from one dollar up, will be in effect. Prices of meals will be unusually low, said Muller. Cost for the round trip will be $10.45, with a charge of $1.50 for a lower berth and SI.20 for an upper. Special Bus A special bus will carry rooters from the hotel to the Gilmore Stadium and return for one dollar. Rooters who leave on Friday night will also be able to witness the California-UCLA game on Saturday if they wish. The band will travel with the rooters on the first special and on the return trip as well. The team may leave with the second special. Both trains will be combined for the return trip on Sunday night at 6:05 o'clock, which will arrive in San Francisco Monday morning at 7:50 o'clock. Rooters will be able to rest on Monday as it is All- Saints Day, a holiday. ' All arrangements for the excursion are being handled by the student body, under the direction of Bill Muller. He reports that widespread interest has been taken in the venture, which promises to surpass by far the excursion of last year. Everything possible has been done by the committee, states Muller, to ensure a trip that will be economical srid enjoyable, one that will have a large turnout of rooters to back the team. Camp Address Presented Last Wed. at Noon Speaker From United Air Lines Talks to KAP Members Oratory Contestants Vie Today USF speakers will try out today at noon to decide who shall represent the University in the Sullivan Memorial Oratorical contest sponsored °y the Ignatian Council, No. 35, Y. "• I. Students who signed up for 'his event are: Harry Sloan, Norman Hammersly, Harold Fitzgerald, Peter Sexton and Jack Whelan. All but the latter two are members of the varsity debate squad. Whelan is an alternate. Representatives of St. Mary's, Loyola, Santa Clara and USF compete each year in the contest, which *as instituted in the. memory of Judge Jeremiah L. Sullivan, brother °f the late Judge Matt I. Sullivan. Judge Sullivan was an early graduate °t the University and a Supreme Court Justice of the State of California. A fifty dollar purse is awarded '0 the winner of the finals which, this year, will be held November 23. Santa Clara Leads Joseph L. Alioto of St. Mary's College won the contest last year. L»ter Alioto was given a scholarship to the Law School of the Catholic University of America. USF has *on the contest but once and that •as in the first year when John O'Kane took the prize. Santa Clara folds the greatest number of victories Approve Nite School Constitution Approval of a new constitution for the student body of the evening division of the University of San Francisco was given in an overwhelming vote, it was announced last week by the executive council of the student body. Balloting was conducted by the administrative officers all last week. Results of the final certified tally revealed that 138 voted in favor of the constitution. Eight opposed it. Three Years' Effort "This marks the successful culmination of three years' effort to provide a satisfactory constitution to suit the peculiar needs of our student body. The administration anticipates a far less onerous task in conducting our affairs, now that the duties and powers of every officer have been greatly clarified," said Bernard Ward, president of the night school student body. For several years the night school has been operating under a de facto constitution, while a permanent group of students, representing the several divisions of the school, endeavored to formulate a new governing instrument. Defer Submission Completion of the committee's work was announced last spring, but it was decided to defer submission of the document until this semester. Mark Paul, John Angelani, Roland Kruger, Bernard Ward, Eugene Raggett and George Helmer, as well as several others, helped in the drafting of the newly adopted constitution. Exercise Powers First exercise of powers, delegated by the new governing vehicle, was made by the executive board at the initial meeting last week. Owing to the withdrawal from school of Al O'Dea, secretary-elect, and Nat Andriotti, sergeant-at-arms, the board was forced to appoint new officers to fill the vacancies. Elected without opposition were Gene Austin, secretary, and Kevin Lowe, sergeant-at-arms. Austin is a commerce student. Lowe is in the pre-legal division. By FRANK COURTNEY Mr. Willis Camp, a representative of the United Air Lines, delivered a lecture on "Air Transportation" last Wednesday at noon in Room B-l to the economic students of the school. The talk was the third of a series of lectures that are being presented by Kappa Alpha Phi, the lower division economic honor society. "Air transportation of the present day is a far cry from the first air mail route that was opened up between New York and San Francisco back in 1918," asserted Mr. Camp in opening his discourse. Open in 1926 "The first commercial route was opened in 1926, and in that year 6,000 passengers rode in United Airline planes. This year approximately 1,750,000 passengers will utilize the United Airlines Service. Last month the United Air Lines had the greatest month in its history, flying 15,000,000 passenger miles. "The Douglas planes are the latest type of transport in the world," continued Mr. Camp. "There are three types of Douglas planes, namely, the twenty-one passenger plane, which runs only along the coast; the Sleeper, which has fourteen berths and runs exclusively at night, and the Sky Lounge, which has fourteen adjustable seats and is used for daylight transcontinental travel." Gives Statistics Mr. Camp then gave a few statistics concerning the qualities of the Douglas plane. "Being sixty-five feet in length, the plane has a wing spread of ninety-five feet. It has two power plants of fourteen cylinders, each having 1,150 horsepower. Other features are the constant speed propellers, the retractable landing gear, which increases the speed of the plane twenty miles per hour, and the wing flips, that retard the speed on landing," said Mr. Camp. "The planes are equipped with two-way radios, by which they can either send or receive. They have three radios, one for the beam, one for communication with the ground, and an auxiliary radio in case one of the others fails." At the conclusion of the lecture Mr. Camp answered questions regarding the subject matter of the discourse. PLAN ECONOMIC GROUP Dexter Leads Students; Meeting Yesterday A meeting of upper division of economic students was held yesterday. The purpose of the meeting was for the organization of an economic group of junior and senior students. Three junior and three senior students met together with Mr. Gregory Dexter, accounting instructor, who will be the adviser for the group. Norton Herold, past president of Kappa Alpha Phi, lower division economic society, and Eugene Phillips, another member of the group, are the guiding figures in the move for the establishment of the honor society. Similar Move Under the direction of Dr. Stephen Kuhnle, a member of the economics department, a similar movement was started in September, 1935. Tom Korn was president of the first group, which was named Alpha Beta Epsilon. Formerly, the group was called Tau Delta Beta. Alpha Beta Epsilon did not continue to exist. Unnamed However, the attempt on the part of the group here now means the reestablishment of the former economic group, although it has not been decided whether to use the same name. The purpose of yesterday's meeting was for the formation of a constitution. A definite announcement on the progress made so far will be given next week. SHELLER HERE MONDAY Marimba Artist Makes Appearance Audrey Sheller, foremost American marimba artist, will be presented at a student assembly next Monday morning at 11 o'clock. A charge of fifteen cents is being made. Those who desire to attend the assembly will be excused from 11 o'clock classes, it was said. Miss Sheller has played under the baton of Rudolph Ganz, internationally known concert pianist, conductor, composer and artist teacher, former conductor of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, and now director of the Chicago Musical College. Ganz highly complimented Miss Sheller's work and graciously presented her with a letter of recommendation. Native Californian Miss Sheller is a native Californian. She was tympanist with the San Jose State College Sym phony Orchestra and also with the Symphonic Band. This is the second of a series of assemblies being held for the student body. Previously Mr. Alonso was presented in a lecture on Spain. Other leaders in arts, science, educational and musical fields will be presented at later assemblies. Miss Sheller has been reported as having art extensive repertoire. She has been accepted as a pupil by Ross Peterson, member of the National Broadcasting Company staff, San Francisco. Miss Sheller has played on several programs. Listed are the Western Music Conference, San Diego Exposition, Diamond Jubilee of San Jose State College, San Juan Bap- tista Mission Pageant, Sacramento State Fair, Kiwanis Clubs and Rotary Clubs. Today Is Quarterly Deadline Today is deadline for The Quarterly! All manuscripts must be handed into the editorial board today if they are to receive consideration for the Fall issue of the University literary publication, it was said today. The board consists of John Downes, Louis Peradotto and Jack Horgan. Kappa Lambda Sigma, literary society, which supervises publication, has been judging entries and planning the makeup for several weeks. Season Theme Downes, who is chairman, has announced that the issues of the magazine will be dated according to seasons. The cover will be copper-colored. Publication will be early in November. Writing in The Quarterly consists of student, alumni and faculty effort and will contain both prose and poetry. Best Ever Stated Downes: "We believe that this term's magazine will be one of the best we have ever put out. Interest has been very gratifying and we hope to justify the response with quality of the book we put out." A divergence from the general custom of the editing is the plan of inserting filler matter after the longer articles. These will be. short paragraphs and quotations. Cold Light Talk Given by Vogel Lecture Sponsored by Bio Chem Club Cold light and its production in nature as well as in the laboratory was the subject of discussion at the meeting of the Bio Chem Club last week. Marcel Vogel, chemistry student, was the lecturer. "Light is usually produced along with heat. For instance, the ordinary electric light bulb emits light because a tungsten filament is heated to incandescence by passage of the electricity. Cold light is light which is not accompanied by heat," said Vogel. Frequently Observed Vogel pointed out that this phenomenon is observed frequently in nature. The common example is the glow-worm and firefly. The production of cold light by the firefly was described fully. The Photogenic cells are located on the ventral surface and the amount and intensity of the light are under direct control of the firefly, said Vogel. Second Portion The second portion of the lecture was devoted to a description and demonstration of the production of cold light by chemical means. By mixing suitable reagents in the darkened room Vogel was able to cause the emission of a brilliant blue light strong enough that all were able to see the experimenter. At the conclusion of the experiments the speaker answered questions of those in the audience. Glee Appears On KPO Sunday First public appearance of the Glee Club this semester will be next Sunday evening, 7 o'clock, when it will be featured in a broadcast over radio station KPO. Members will sing on the "Hawthorne House," a regular commercial show. Under the direction of Angelo Fusco, college musical director, rehearsals have been conducted all this week to thoroughly familiarize the men with the selections they will sing. He had been assisted by L. Havorka, Glee Club leader. Havorka hailed this program as an opening which will greatly aid the USF gleemen in obtaining further broadcasts on other programs. He pointed out that Stanford University has gained a wide reputation for the programs which the Glee Club of that school has given throughout California and on the radio. Dance, Finance Get Attention Of Executives International Relations, Annual, Debaters Seek Money Financial matters, in addition to a revolutionary proposal governing the regulation of dances, occupied the attention of the executive "on> mittee at its meeting Tuesday noon. In answer to the International Relations Club request for a $30 appropriation to cover the cost of sending delegates to the coming state convention at Mills College, the finance committee stated that $18 would be allotted to the club. The committee felt that this sum would be sufficient to send enough members, but a motion was made that the request be considered for another week. It was defeated. Downes Appears Representing the varsity debate team, John Downes asked for an allotment of $60 to cover the costs of the debaters for the semester. He stated that this is a smaller sum than that of last year, so the number of debates will necessarily have to be cut down, although as many as possible will be held. President Muller announced that Audrey Sheller, noted marimba player, had been engaged to play this morning. He said that there would be an admission charge of 15 cents to cover the expenses for the engagement, amounting to $50, and, providing there is a large attendance, it will give the student body a possible profit of $20. DiVita Requests Viero DiVita requested a loan of $30 to cover the initial costs of the annual. He was referred to the finance committee, which will make a report next week. A request for money to send Bob Horner, yell leader, to the Loyola game, was also referred to the finance committee. Committee members were asked to cooperate in seeing that there is a good student representation at the studios of radio station KYA tomorrow afternoon to participate in the reproduction of the USF game with Montana. Declaring that the present methods of controlling student dances have been proved inefficient, Charles Breen outlined a proposal for regulating dances which, he believes, will lead to better and more exclusive USF dances. His idea is based upon a priority control system, consisting of an index file of all those eligible for school dances. This arrangement would permit of absolute control over all students, alumni, and friends who wish to go to the dances. Index Set-Up A mailing list of these people would be built up, and would provide that outsiders have student guarantors in order to be included in the index, which will list the names, addresses, affiliations, and qualifications of all eligible dance patrons. It was suggested that those students who work on the file should get remuneration of some sort for their labor, probably in the form of bids, said Breen. Laurie O'Toole proposed a committee be appointed to consider the feasibility of this plan. Vice-President Horgan chose the following to discuss the matter and report on it next Tuesday: Harry Duff, chairman; Charles Breen, Laurie O'Toole and Tully Simoni. Spanish Club Meets Next Thursday Noon Members of the Don Quixote Club presented half-time entertainment at the Santa Clara game depicting the subjugation of the Bronco by the valiant Dons. In it were Sal- vado Guglielmino, George Corona, Harry Stark, Jack Monroe and Henry Garciadiego. A meeting is scheduled for next Thursday at noon in Room B-7. At that time plans will be discussed for the Spanish play which the club has been considering for several weeks. Some other organization devoted to foreign affairs may be asked to cooperate in this event. Rogariano Arias will speak to the club in the near future on Cervantes literature. TAKE YOUR CHOICE TONIGHT, FELLOWS Students have a choice in entertainment this evening. "Men Must Fight" will be presented for the last time in the Little Theater at 8:30 o'clock. The Riverside Junior College-Frosh football game will be played at Seals Stadium at 8 o'clock. College Players Score Hit As "Men Must Fight" Ends Little Theatre Run Tonite <*>- ^e> NAME NEW MEMBERS TO VARSITY DEBATE Form Sophomore Team; Term Schedule Listed by Berti Preparation for the coming debate season in the tryouts for the four available positions, resulted in the acceptance of Harold Fitzgerald, Norman Hammersly, Charles O'Gara and Murray Shea, with John Whelan as an alternate. Also, a sophomore debating team has been formed. Members of the Sophomore team are: Owen Brady, Felix McGinnis, Larry O'Toole, Harry Stark and<£ S> Tom Waters. The selections were made as the result of tryouts held last Monday, each contestant speaking either for or against the proposed subway bond proposal. Debates, as arranged by A. Rus- sel Berti, Chairman of the Forensics Council, are to be as follows: With Santa Clara: Two debates have been arranged, one on either campus, on the subject: "Resolved, That President Roosevelt's declaration of international policy should be approved," with the University of San Francisco upholding the affirmative here. The debate is to be held on November 8.

Debates arranged with Stanford are: On November 18, before the Association of Retail Credit Men, arranged through the courtesy of Mr. Frank Batty, Credit Manager of Hale Brothers, judge of last year's McKinley Debate, the subject being the Pi Kappa Delta question: "Resolved, That the National Labor Relations Board should be empowered to enforce arbitration of all industrial disputes.' remain unchosen. T^he speakers Bears in November With the University of CalifonJa, debates are scheduled for the montl' of November, on the subject: "Resolved, That literature should be propagandist," with no speakers chosen as yet. Debates have been scheduled with St. Mary's on the same subject, with the sophomore team speaking on November 24. The varsity team has tentatively scheduled debates with St. Mary's, with no subject announced as yet. A debate has been arranged with the College of the Pacific for the near future. Varsity Roster The varsity now consists of the four members chosen last Monday and the members of last year's squad: Jack Horgan, Jim Mace, Jerry Cahill, Johnny Downes and Harry Sloan. The tryouts for the annual Sullivan Memorial contest are to be held this noon, with the contestants speaking on the Constitution. The winner is to be chosen later. More debates for the ensuing months have been tentatively arranged, but no definite announcement concerning either opponent or subject is forthcoming at present. Orchestra Will Make Start Making its initial start of the season under a new director, the orchestra has been playing for each performance of "Men Must Fight" this week. For the first time, the University of San Francisco has an orchestra which is composed exclusively of Dons. Under the direction of Angelo A. Fusco, they have been rehearsing for several weeks, building a repertoire of semi-classical and classical selections. The personnel of the orchestra is as follows: John Garzero, Dino Orlandi, Hank Robertson, Dick Marriott, Jim Doherty, Bob Olden, Tully Simoni, John Walsh, Marcel Vogel and Dave Marchus. J. C. Debate Set For Nov. 9 Frosh debaters will meet their first opponent November 9 when they debate with a team from San Francisco Junior College. Selection of the Don team has not yet been made from the ranks of the Gavel Club. The question to be debated will be: "Resolved, That the State of California should adopt the unicameral legislature system." Last Monday's meeting was the scene of a discussion of the question of whether or not another world war was imminent. In attendance were Jack Whelan, Tom Duff, Jack O'Brien, Bob Wardell, Bernard Cief, and Richard Fenton. Frank Silver, S. J., urged that members be more regular in their attendance at the meetings. O'ROURKE TO SPEAK Local Relations Head to Lead Group In an announcement made public yesterday by Owen Brady, of the International Relations Club, it was revealed that John J. O'Rourke, president of the campus relations group, has been invited to conduct a round table at the regional conference to be held at Mills College on October 29 and 30. O'Rourke has been invited to conduct the table on "Why Peace?" by Miss Eleanor Hadley, president of the regional conference of International Relations Club of Northern California. Most Important In describing the table Brady pointed out, "The table on 'Peace' will be one of the most important at the conference. In view of the current situation both abroad and in the Orient, Peace is a foremost topic at the moment. Also, in view of the very distressing International situation it can be readily appreciated that it will be the most comprehensive of the tables." This has been the second time that the University of San FVancisco has been honored by being invited to lead a round table. Last year, Paul R. Pahnke, then chairman of the campus group, was invited to lead a table at the conference held at San Francisco State College. No definite information was available from the club as to the number of members to be sent to the regional conference as representatives of the club. It is said, however, that at least ten or twelve representatives will make the trip. As an integral part of the preparation for the conference the USF group is contacting the clubs at Dominican College, San Francisco College for Women, San Francisco State and St. Mary's College. "We believe," stated O'Rourke, "that we are doing a positive service in crystallizing opinion on current affairs before the conference. In this way people will come to the conference with definite ideas rather than with an indefinite or an indifferent viewpoint." Sanctuary Notice The following members of the Sanctuary Society will serve these Masses next Sunday: 10:30—William Whitfield and Patrick Deignan. 12:15—Theodore Wurm and Thomas Griffin. JAMES J. CORCORAN, Prefect. Gripping Scenes Portray Emotions of Family Caught in Toils of War By JACK O'ROURKE "Men Must Fight," which thrilled Broadway audiences for almost four years, is in a fair way toward doing the same thing in San Francisco, as capacity audiences storm College Players' ticket centers for the last time tonight, in what local critics are joining New York drama writers in calling a "play worthy of respect." Unfolding the story of Secretary of State Seward's war-shattered family circle, which pits husband against wife, father against ^on, and turns aside the peaceful course of Robert Seward's romance with pretty Peggy Chase, the battle vehicle swings from the tense to the comical with pleasing rapidit/ Brady Calm Tn. Vie role of Secretary of State Sewaril- Owen Brady is a calm, assured di£'ornat who is committed to upholding Rational honor, while preferring peace {°r ms wife's sake. The wife is ably portrayed by dramatic Elma Heitrr.?.n» wno touches emotional heights in several gripping interludes. Virginia Kelly enacts tl" role of Maman, aristocratic head f the house of Seward, who is relie-'-d of the stress of diplomacy by the •,. ";}l of her husband, and who rejoices iv her ability to say what she pleases, when she pleases. Al Maggini and Geraldine Amos make a well-matched romantic duo, and the air of light romance which infiltrates the play, and gradually changes to grim tragedy, is well handled by both as a team. Patriotic Jose Louis B. Peradotto, whose fame as a comedian is attracting much of the crowd which packs the Little Theater for the triple presentation of "Men Must Fight," takes the part of patriotic Jose, whose Venezuelan ancestry does not prevent him from becoming a white-coated houseboy, but whose patriotism comes to the fore when danger threatens. Jack Horgan and Mary McGowan make the second romantic team of the production. Miss McGowan's attractive evening attire and Horgan's stern military uniform are in clever contrast, and both make the most of the opportunities given them for acting in the suspense-filled moments which end the second act. Agnes-Marie Lyman, pleasant- voiced blond actress, who is James J. Gill's most recent "discovery," pleases as Mrs. Chase, typical shortsighted socialite, mother of Peggy Chase (Geraldine Amos) in her first appearance before the footlights. Jack Mullane also makes his theatrical debut as Danish-accented butler Albert, who carries candles at weddings and brings tea for three. Norman Hammersly continues his thespic career as Newshawk Seibert. Hammersly's registration of disgust, when he learns of what he thinks is the cowardice of Robert Seward, is said to be a classical expression of emotion. James J. Gill's masterful arrangement of the set for the production also won critical approval. The subdued lighting and diplomatic dignity of the Seward living room is being praised as a "ne plus ultra" by local reviewers. 'a 1M Inter Woven • Heavy wool-mix. • Sturdy — Styleful !
