Advertised as the greatest athletic rally ever to be presented at
the  University of San  Francisco,
the Gael-Don football game will be
ushered in with a gala show, to be
staged in the campus Little Theatre, Saturday evening, October 22,
beginning at 8 o'clock.
Ernie Smith
Obtained as the  master of ceremonies this week was Ernie Smith,
foremost  football  and  baseball  announcer on the Pacific Coast.   Smith
presents his daily sports summary on
Radio  Station  KYA  every evening
at 7 o'clock.
His appearance is made possible
for the rally through the Associated
Oil Company, sponsors. Also, the
same organization is giving the student body the use of its public address system for the affair.
Jim  Madden,  vice-president of
the student body, is chairman of
the program which will feature an
array of talent expected to equal
that of the President's Day entertainment program  last  semester.
An active committee is assisting in
the  arrangements.  A  meeting of
the group was held yesterday to
complete plans for the affair.
The program will be highlighted
by the participation of nearly fifty-
five persons.   Madden plans to present something like twenty entertainment numbers.
Malley to Speak
Featured speaker of the evening
will be Coach George Malley whose
Dons will meet St. Mary's College
at Kezar Stadium on the following
day.
"We hope to present a rally program worthy of your attendance
next week.   Personally,  I believe
that the show will equal any athletic rally presented this semester.
We have great hopes; fulfillment,
we believe, will result in a pleased
student body," said Madden.
The rally program is open to the
public. Students are advised to come
early inasmuch as the seating capacity of the Little Theatre is limited.
Band to Play
The Don band, featuring a thirty-
piece unit, will provide the musical
background.  Yells and songs will be
led by yell  leaders Joe  O'Looney,
George Plato and Cliff Jenson.
Attempts are being made to obtain
a special stage set for the evening's
program. The affair will be held under the supervision of the Block Club,
directed by Johnny Swanson, president, and Alec Schwarz, assistant
frosh football coach.
The program to be offered will be
a versatile one. Named as entertainers are Peggy Beck, popular singer;
Yolanda Annigoni, specialist in hot
blues selections; Shirley Abraham,
popular singer, and Jacqueline Vour-
lis, clarinet soloist.
A swing unit will feature a guitar,
saxophone and accordion, led by Bill
Kane. Baptiste Conte, young tenor,
will render vocal selections.
Others are Jim Ash, baritone;
Mary Truseell, contralto, and Ar-
mand Quartini, baritone. As yet, the
full program has not been completed
with the definite list  expected to he
ready some time next week.
The rally is expected to extend
over a period of one hour and a
half. Members of the rally committee are Dan Dinneen, Trude
Spearman, Ken Denman, Lawry
O'Toole, Bill Figari, Jack Light-
body, Fred Stephens, Maurice
"Coke" Carmody, John Swanson,
Alec Schwarz and Tom Rice.
Winner  of ihe  mustache  contest
will be presented with a trophy at the
rally.
Tentative plans for a pre-Santa
Clara game parade are now being
formulated. Inspired by the success of the Hardin-Simmons Parade, the Alumni have put the
question of whether or not there
will be a rally, before the student
body.
The police department has assured complete cooperation with
the parade because of the orderly
conduct shown in the last parade.
If sufficient students get in
touch with Art Zief to insure success, the Alumni will give their
entire efforts toward the presentation of the parade.

Courtney President
Frank Courtney was elected President of Pi Delta Pi at a special
meeting of the lower division literary society last Friday, for the election of club officers. Rob Wardell
was elected to the office of Vice-
President; Bob Christian, freshman,
was chosen  Secretary-Treasurer..
Contemporaries and works of
George Bernard Shaw were the subject for discussion at a meeting of
Pi Delta Pi. lower division literary
society, in the Father Semeria Room
last night.
lack O'Brien, sophomore, was
student speaker of the evening and
led the discussion. He briefly
sketched Shaw's better plays, including many  salient criticisms.
The discussion centered about
Shaw's "Joan of Arc." which the
members decided was the best of
his works.
Plans for a banquet at the con-
elusion of the semester were later
discussed.
An outside speaker will be invited
!o address the group at the next
meeting, two weeks from now. by
President  Frank Courtney.
Frank Petersen of the Golden
Gate International Exposition presented an illustrated lecture on the
Exposition before the members of
Kappa Alpha Phi and the student
body at noon last Wednesday. Mr.
Petersen opened his remarks with
the present economic conditions in
the West, saying that present graduating classes are going out to face
the world in which there are no jobs
for them, principally here in the
West.
"The most important part to be
played by the 1939 Fair in changing this condition," said Mr. Petersen, "will be in its attempt to
industrialize the West, showing it
to Eastern industrialists and business men,  and tempting them to
come out here with their industries."
The   young   graduates   of   future
years, around  1940,  1941  and  1942,
even  far  into  the  future,  will,  according to the lecturer, have opportunities for employment such as are
lacking today.   These opportunities
will be brought about through the
Fair.
Pan-American Market
Another factor to aid the coming generation in the business
world will be the Pan-American
contact brought about through the
Exposition.
"The South American market has
been neglected for many years," said
Mr. Petersen, "and now, with present conditions in Europe and the
Orient, this market is becoming
more important every day."
The South American business
men will have headquarters in the
Ferry Building next year and will
become thoroughly acquainted with
our business men under the extraordinarily beautiful social conditions
of the Fair. Already they have a
deep feeling for California and they
need but to make the necessary contacts with our leaders, as was shown
by Frank Petersen. Thus, in a few-
years, our business with South
America will increase greatly, particularly in San Francisco, and our
college graduates will have jobs to
look forward to when they face the
world — jobs with the rejuvenated
steamship lines, commercial centers,
and so on, all of which will have
benefited from the increased Pan-
American trade brought about by
our World's Fair.
Tourist Money
Immediate gains to California will
be approximately 600 million dollars
spent here by tourists next year
when they come to see the fair.
Thus a temporary wave of prosperity will be created which will be
extended into the permanent prosperity from the above factors.
Following this address, Mr. Petersen displayed a large collection
of colored slides pertaining to the
fair,   showing  its  construction,
background, culture, and effect.
"No   matter   what   may   be  your
idea of fun," said Mr. Petersen, "you
will   find   it   next  year  on   Treasure
Island."    Everything  will  be  there,
from   the   Gayway   to   the   best   of
music and art.
Present plans call for a speaker at
the next meeting to talk on "The
Romance of Insurance." This will
he on  November 9.
VERY REV. Z. J. MAHER, S. J.
Returning to the University of ^
San    Francisco,    which   he   had
known as St. Ignatius College, last
Wednesday was Father Zaccheus
Maher, S. J., highest ranking Jesuit in the United States.
A member of the Class of 1900, he
graduated in a class of five in the
old  institution  on   Hayes  and  Van
Ness.   As the American assistant of
the Jesuit General in Rome, he has
had occasion  to visit every section
of the United States.   Father Maher
was president of  Santa Clara University a short time ago, and visited
the  institution  after  inspecting  the
University of San Francisco.
In an address to the students,
Father Maher scored the ideals of
dictator-ridden countries of Europe.
Catholic  Ideals
"It is up to the college men of
today to destroy the false standards which America is adopting.
Materialism has become the catchword   of   the   day.    It   will   be
through   Catholic  principles   that
the true values of liberty of speech
and   religion   will   be   preserved.
Philosophy  and religion  are the
most  important   subjects   of   the
Jesuit curriculum because of the
necessity  of  preserving  the  true
ideals," Father Maher declared.
Last night he attended the meeting of Catholic laymen in the Palace Hotel, sponsored by the Catholic Laymen's Retreat Association.
Father William Dunne, S. J., university president, entertained Father
Maher during his stay on the University of San Francisco campus.

BASILICAN PLAY
Jack Bruton and Al O'Dea will
take the leading roles in the Basilican presentation of "A Prince There
Was," which will be enacted by the
St. Anne's group on October 26, 27
and 28 at the Basilicia Auditorium.
Chess Club Holds
First Home Smoker
First of a series of smokers to he
held by the Chess Club took place
at the home of Bob Fair, club member, last Sunday evening. Featured
at the smoker was a discussion on
chess ami several games for the
tournament now going on in the
club.
The club plans to hold another
smoker within two weeks, although
smokers are to he held once a
month, to give members an opportunity to catch up to the tournament
schedule.
A Don chess team will be formed
soon from the results of the tournament to compete with chess teams
from other colleges and institutions.
Bunco Detail Head Will
Speak at Next Session
No meeting was held by the St.
Ives Law Club this week, although
a session is scheduled for next
Thursday evening in the Semeria
Memorial Room. Jim Mace will
preside.
A business meeting of the organization is to be held Monday noon
in Room B-l. The purpose of the
meeting is to elect new members to
the club.
Speaker for the scheduled meeting of next week is the head of the
bunco detail of the San Francisco
Police Department. The speaker will
speak on a subject relative to the
work of the detail.
An important announcement will
be made regarding the installation
of the St. Ives Window in St. Ignatius Church sometime next week.
In all probability, The Advocate,
official monthly club publication,
will be issued Thursday night. Publishing of the paper is in a doubtful
state, however, because the necessary financial means to insure its
release might not be available, inasmuch as a request of a representative of St. Ives for money to be used
for publishing the organ of the
group was denied by the Finance
Committee of the student body.

Malley Mustache Society to Beat
The Moragans Continues to Qrow
Dance on Fair Grounds
Provides Financial Aid
For Publishing Annual
FACULTY COMMITTEE APPROVAL AWAITED
As the zero hour for the St.
Mary's game draws near, the Mad
Mimickers of Malley's Mustache to
beat Moraga Society grows and
grows. The Dons are becoming
fuzzier and fuzzier, and in varying
shades from carrot red to coal black,
the latter group being listed as the
dark horses.
Gala plans are being formulated
for the presentation of the handsome
cup donated by jeweler John Holland. Judges who will decide the
possessor of the "classiest and cutest
curl" are the two experts on upper-
lip cultivation, George Malley and
Doc Haley. An effort is being made
to have Charmeen, the beautiful
songstress of Skinnay Ennis' band,
present the cup to the winner.   The
presentation will take place at Jim
Madden's super-super rally on thieve of the Moraga battle.
Competition for the cup is becoming intense. Favoritism to cop the
trophy is divided among "Hand-
sonic" Harry Stark, the Lucky Tiger

"Dangerous" Dick Fenton, "Big
Boy" Burn, "Fuzzy" Bertrand. Bill
Whitfield, "Cowboy" Alan Larkins.

the frosh footballers: Simmons, Di
Grazia, Jerome, Crowley and
Crombi, who weren't content with
just a mustache, but grew a full crop
of Spinach so they could scare the
St.  Mary's team tonight.
Rulings   Made   to   Give
Activities Better
Organization
In an unusual move, the Faculty  Committee  on  Student  Affairs last Wednesday laid down a
new set of rules governing student activities.
In   order   to   safeguard   the   academic  welfare  of the  students  engaged  in  extra-curricular  activities,
and to improve the status of campus
organizations, eight new provisions
were given to the student body.
The most significant of the rules
is the first, which prohibits the students to engage in more than three
activities. The ruling is expected to
curtail the membership of the majority of campus organizations to a
noticeable degree.
The regulations given by the committee are as follows:
1. No student may be an active
member of more than three recognized campus organizations. In
membership the University Sodality
and the Block Club will not be included.
2. No student may serve as an
officer of more than two recognized
campus organizations.
3. Each organization, at the beginning of the academic year, shall
file with the secretary of the Faculty
Committee on Activities a schedule
of the annual dues or assessments
charged. This scale shall be announced to each applicant for admission who shall assent thereto in
writing. These written acknowledgements shall be preserved by the
treasurer of each organization. Dismissal or resignation from a society
shall not relieve the student from
responsibility for dues contracted
during membership.
4. No increase in the stated
charges shall be made nor extra assessments levied, unless with the
consent of the Faculty Adviser and
two-thirds of the active membership.
5. The treasurer of each organization shall prepare a quarterly financial statement, which shall be submitted thereafter to the membership
at the next regular meeting. A copy
of this report shall be available for
inspection upon reasonable notice by
any member.
6. All dues collected shall be acknowledged by a receipt signed by
the treasurer or other appointed officer. In cases of dispute, production of this receipt shall be necessary to prove payment.
7. The president or treasurer of
each organization shall submit to
the Faculty Committee on Activities a quarterly report of all members delinquent in their dues or assessments. These reports shall be
submitted within three days of the
following dates: October 15, December 15, February 15, April 15. At
least one week before the submission of the list to the Faculty Committee, delinquent members shall be
notified in writing of the proposed
inclusion of their names. Payment
of the indebtedness within the week
shall cancel the name of the paying
member from the delinquent list.
8. Students who are reported delinquent shpll be barred from all
participation in extra-curricular activities, including the holding of
student body or class offices, until
their indebtedness has been satisfied.
Public notice of this fact shall be
given by the Faculty Committee,
which shall also notify the Faculty
Advisers. The indebtedness shall be
considered satisfied when written
notice of payment is communicated
to the Faculty Committee on Activities by the Faculty Adviser of
the creditor society.
Don Editor and Staff to Be Chosen Next Week;
Seniors Lend Their Support
Student hopes for a yearbook were apparently fulfilled Thursday with the announcement of President Pete Sexton that plans
for a dance to provide funds for the publication of the book
have been established.
Although the appointment of an editor for the publication has
■^not yet been  made, it is definitely

Y.M.I. Hold Dance
In Little Theatre
Friday evening, October 28, the
University of San Francisco Council
of the Y.M.I, will sponsor an informal dance in the Little Theatre.
The proceeds from the affair will he
donated to the athletic fund of the
University.
Joseph W. Hazelwood, '33, will
direct the dance with the assistance
of the entire membership of the
council.
Annual
Soph Dance
Tomorrow
By JIM MADDEN
Under a canopy of blue, sparkling with star dust, Dons will
dance to the music of Warren
Ringen and his orchestra at the
long-anticipated Soph Drag, to be
held tomorrow night at the exclusive Lakeside Country Club on
the Skyline Boulevard.
Sellout
Highlight of the formal social
season, the Drag, traditional sophomore class dance, is destined to see
a sell-out with over two hundred
and twenty-five bids expected to be
sold for the affair.
The committee is being headed by-
Tony Tarantino, chairman of the
Dance Committee and president of
the sponsoring class. Others who
are assisting in the arrangements
are Bill Figari, Trude Spearman.
Ray Agosti, Tom Duff and Art Zief.
Attributed to be one of the finest
clubs west of Chicago, it is expected
that the locale will add much to the
success of the affair. Overlooking
beautiful Lake Merced, located near
the Skyline Boulevard, and a short
distance from the blue Pacific, atmosphere, if it means anything,
claim Drag committeemen, should
add much to the dance.
Ringen Engaged
The orchestra engaged for the
affair is that of Warren Ringen, who
has established himself as one of the
leading dance leaders in the Bay
Region.
Ringen has just completed an
extended summer engagement at
the Cal-Neva Club where his organization was featured in radio
broadcasts over the California network of which KYA is an affiliate.
The orchestra is enhanced by the
addition of Buddy Morgan, popular
young singer  who  has  achieved  a
fine reputation as a feminine vocalist.   Miss Morgan, a former student
of  the  San  Mateo  Junior  College,
has been featured with  many Bay
Area dance bands.
Incidentally, bids are selling for
$2.50 and they may be obtained
from the members of the committee. It is rumored that the no-
corsage rule will be enforced.
Also, there will be no novel lighting effects, it is said.
Patrons
Invited as patrons and patronesses
are Father William Dunne, S. J..
Father James J. Lyons, S. J., Mr.
and Mrs. Albert Tassi, Mr. and Mrs.
George Malley, Dr. and Mrs. Stephen Kuhnle, Mr. and Mrs. Michael
Quinlan, Colonel and Mrs. Frank
Drake, Major and Mrs. William F.
I.aFrenz and Major William Brey.
Ringen's orchestra played several
campus dances during the last year,
being engaged for the Christmas
Formal, Dominican College Reception. San Francisco College for
Women Reception, as well as several other social functions. For the
last two years, his band has played
for the President's Day entertainment program. In fact, his musical
organization was established with
the presentation of the President's
Day program in 1936 with the first
anniversary being celebrated with
bis playing for the affair again in
1937.
Ringen, a senior in the college
of liberal arts, has achieved the
distinction of being the orchestra
leader engaged for a campus dance
while here in school. Alan Dohrmann, former student here, played
for the Soph Drag last year, which
was held at the Meadow Club in
Marin County. The dance was
given to an overflow crowd.
in early spring.
Disappointment ran high last year
when the scheduled Annual was
abandoned because of lack of student interest in the magazine, and
lack of sufficient funds.
Alumni Sponsors
This year, because of insistent
student   demand,   plans   are   now
under way for provision of funds.
Sponsored by the alumni, a dance
will take place on Treasure Island
on November 18; in the huge Administration Building.
With    Leo   Murphy,   dance   promoter   of  past  years   back   for  the
university and outstanding alumnus,
in full charge of the plans, the dance
will    attract   over   five   hundred
couples.   Because of the provision of
Fair officials that no rental charges
will be made, the only expenses to
be taken care of will be those of the
orchestra    and    administration    expenses. '
Bids will be priced at $1.50. The
profit that will result will revert to
the Annual fund. A percentage of
the cloakroom and refreshment
profits will also be given to the University by Fair officials.
No Charges
"The Golden Gate International
Exposition has given us the use of
Treasure Island without any strings
attached. The officials have explained
that the only fee they will exact is
the advertising resultant from a
dance of this magnitude," Sexton
said.
Sexton stressed the wish of the
administration and the student body
that the term "annual" would not
be associated with this year's publication. There is no assurance that
it will be held every year and the
term does not fully express the
nature of the book.
Approval Anticipated
Although there has been no faculty announcement concerning the
publication, full approval of the appointment of a staff and business
manager is expected to come within
the month.
The dance will be one of the
few to be held on Treasure Island
before it is officially opened to the
public. The Administration Building will be equipped to hold over
fifteen  hundred couples.   Several
dances will be held by the student
body later in the year after the
Fair opening on the grounds.
Over five hundred dollars is expected to result from the dance, and
will serve as the base fund for the
year book.
A different staff will handle each
department of the book, each having
a different editor and a separate
staff. Emphasis will be placed on
photography. Each organization, activity, sport, will receive full coverage by crew of cameramen.
An option system resembling that
used for the sale of the 1937 "Don"
is expected to be put into use by
student salesmen.
Moot Courts Split
Into Three Groups
Three groups of Evening Division
law students have decided to participate in the fall semester's Moot Court
Competition.
The first team is composed of William Bassett, Bernard Czesla, George
Helmer. Frank McGorty and Herbert Smith. John Angeloni, Frank
Frisch, Arthur Krausc, Thomas McBride and Vernon Smith compose the
second Evening Division team. The
third team consists of Guillermo Benedetti, Joseph Mannion, Arthur Slag-
ter and Clarke Trethewey.
Participation by the evening division is a new development following
the revival of Moot Court work in
the day division last year.
Professor Edward A. Hogan is acting as faculty counsellor in connection with the new participation by
evening division students.
