XX, No. 1 SAN FRANCISCO, JANUARY 13, 1939 FRIDAY TELLS FR. FEELY, S. J. OF CRISIS, FUTURE EUROPE WAR FEARS Jesuit Author And Lecturer Greets Friends Tells of Europe Travels, Spanish War, Munich Pact Explained RESUME CLASSWORK Back again on the "safe side" following his tour of southern Europe, Father Raymond T. Feely, S. J., revealed the internal disturbances created by the totalitarian activities of the Fascist states in a recent interview granted to the San Francisco Foghorn. Returning from the European scene, Father Feely, after expressing his gratification at being back at home once more, expressed the opinion that an armed conflict will begin before the present year is over. \ Beginning his tour with Gibraltar, Father Feely examined closely the situation existing in the National Government of Spain. "Life behind the Franco lines is as normal as in San Francisco. Spanish authorities will tell you that they are not anxious for a quick victory—it would be impossible to unite Spain unless Franco's progress is slow. The best information that I could obtain was that England and France aic anxious 101 u Fianco vJot "m_> in order to offset the Communist government in Spain, but they are equally anxious for an autonomous Catalonia, being fearful that Germany and Italy might have a foothold in the Mediterranean unless Catalonia is kept separate from Franco Spain," Father Feely said. In analyzing the Munich pact, Father Feely characterized the necessity for England, France, and Russia's capitulating to the Fascist demands. The air threat was the most compelling factor in the Munich pact, with the entire situation being dominated by the subjugation of the democratic states in the air to Italy and Nazi Germany. "The Catholic and Lutheran persecution is much more subtle, but in every way as destructive of religion. German leaders definitely state that they intend to exterminate Christianity, and their methods are legal in that they are simply neglecting the older people and inculcating the younger people with their Nazi paganism. The confiscation of schools and churches in Austria, the persecution of the parents and of children who dare to attend denominational schools, are gradually eliminating all church instruction in the Third Reich," Father Feely observed. Future irreligiousness throughout Germany was feared by Father Feely, who explained that the situation was not sufficiently open to unite the Lutherans and Catholics, as the Jewish persecution has united public opinion against the methods and political philosophy of the Nazi government. No parallel in history can be drawn, with organizations that are Christian in purpose or intent being allowed to function in Germany. Pope Pius XI has spoken on this insidious destruction of Christianity in Germany and the issue is one in which Americans should be deeply concerned, as they are rightfully interested in the Jewish persecution. The condition of the nuns in Germany is particularly tragic, Father Feely continued, with all opportunities having been taken away from them, many of them now working in factories. More serious in Austria than in Germany is the religious situation, because the Concordat that existed with Germany was never established in Austria. Even in Germany, articles were appearing in the press that the Concordat no longer had any validity, and since the press is inspired by official sources it would seem that in the near future we may expect a complete repudiation of this pact with the Vatican. Reviewing the situation in the whole of Europe, Father Feely characterized the outlook for 1939.

Albertsworth, Professor of Law at the Northwestern University Law School at Chicago, will be visiting Professor of Law at the University of San Francisco during the spring semester, according to announcement from the office of Law Dean Kinnane of January 2. Doctor Albertsworth will inaugurate the work in Administrative Law which will be offered for the first time at this University's Law School as a regular undergraduate law course. Doctor Albertsworth preceded Dean Kinnane in the Deanship of the University of Wyoming Law School, taught later at Western Reserve University Law School, and bocuic a member of Ncrthv.-.octern's law faculty in 1924. He is nationally famous for his work in the field of Public Law. He holds both the Doctor of Philosophy and the Doctor of the Science of Jurisprudence degrees, the latter having been conferred by the law school of Harvard University. He is a member of the Bar of the Supreme Court of the United States, of the District of" Columbia Bar, of the Illinois Bar, and of the California Bar. He has been a prolific writer, and has written on industrial and trades matters, and has also prepared a five-volume collection of "Cases on Constitutional Government." It was further announced that Dr. Charles H. Kinnane, Dean, and Assistant Professor Lee F. Dante attended the convention of the Association of American Law Schools at Chicago as representatives of the University of San Francisco School of Law. The convention was in session during the last three days of December. On December 14 Doctor Kinnane addressed the members of the San Mateo County Bar Association at its quarterly meeting. Dean Kinnane spoke on "Modern Developments Regarding the Jurisdictional Property Rights in Injunction Suits." The point of his talk was that the courts in recent years have made a large amount of new law in injunction cases, and in so doing have largely gone ahead of the legal profession. The result has been that lawyers not specializing in the field are not fully aware of the great changes that have taken place in recent years. The talk was designed to be something in the nature of a practical one for practicing lawyers. Dean Kinnane plans that the substance of the talk will be incorporated in a law review article to be completed for publication in the near future. Debaters Arrange Spring Schedule "The important question confronting the varsity debaters this term is: What is to be done about invitations for debates from the universities of Mexico, Hawaii, and Washington?" This was announced, off the record, by one of the prominent members early this week. The faculty director, Mr. Silva, is doing what is necessary that all possibilities for such matches might be examined and a decision reached. More routine matters that will determine the spring schedule of debates are being arranged. Early announcements on the coming debates with Stanford, St. Mary's and Santa Clara will be ready for the second edition. The local station, KSFO, will be contacted tomorrow concerning radio broadcasts of USF debates as they have been presented in the past semester. Execs Plan Don Funds, Fandango Showing what was claimed to be the most substantial balance in any six months' term for the past three years, the semi-annual report of the student body treasury was read at Wednesday's Executive Committee meeting. Student Treasurer Norton Herold reported that the conservative policies of the present student body administration have contributed to this splendid report. The profit which was realized from the Treasure Island Dance, and which was turned over to the student body, also contributed to the favorable balance. Sinking Fund Created A motion was presented with the report that a sinking fund for the student annual be created out of the money remaining in the treasury as reported. A short deliberation was held by the council on this matter, and finally the motion was passed unanimously. This motion assures the students that the profits from the successful Treasure Island dance will be combined with treasury surplus to make the annual a financially sound endeavor. Next bit of news at the meeting was the steps in the arrangements of the Freshman Fandango, taken by the Frosh class president and his representatives. Prexy Herning inquired of the chairman what were the necessary preparations for obtaining dates, approvals, location, and personnel. Mr. Sexton explained in detail, and applications and plans will soon be presented to the proper authorities for the 1939 model of the famous dance. New Parking Ground A prominent member of the student campus boosters made known Father Rossi's request that indiscriminate dropping of paper, especially in small pjeces, about the campus be stopped, as it creates a great deal of unnecessary work for his small staff. The council agreed that this matter may be a small item, but as its fulfillment meant parking facilities on the parade grounds for the students on non-drill days, attempts should be made to insure student co-operation. Arthur Zief was appointed head of the committee to arrange for new windshield stickers publicizing USF in order that his efforts in this regard might have official sanction. Other subjects that came up for discussion ranged from rallies for basketball games to the proposed smoker and prize fight among the school boxing team and selected opponents. The conventional attitude of the council toward basketball rallies has heretofore been one of indifference to the matter. One of the frosh representatives contacted the vice-president about the feasibility of a rally in the future. Concerning the smoker, as no showers will be constructed in the basement of the auditorium for some time, Alan White reported that such an affair would have to make arrangements to transport the competitors to and from the field house for dressing facilities, but plans were under discussion for a smoker in the coming boxing season. Retraction Professor Bodfish, of the University faculty, was erroneously quoted in the Foghorn, in a fall issue, as having addressed the St. Ives Law Club on the subject of Prison Reform. This was due to a mistaken publicity release from the St. Ives Law Club. The Foghorn regrets the embarrassment caused Professor Bodfish by its article. Early this week, definite work was started on the '39 Don Annual, which is slated to appear the latter part of April. Under the capable direction of Lawrence O'Toole, the newly appointed editor, a staff, consisting of Ed McQuirk, Dick Blake, and others, has formulated plans to produce the biggest book in the history of USF. As the general opinion voiced by each member, the staff felt that "with the great San Francisco World's Fair setting in our favor, together with a sound financial backing assured, this Annual will be the greatest of all time." The book will have as its theme the historical background of the University, and will present pictures of the Fair as one of its principal features. Individual pictures, class portraits, organization photos, candid shots, and sketches will be numerous and will be presented in a novel way. Options Selling Not all the one-dollar options on the book have been sold as yet, but the students who have not purchased them are being contacted. By Wednesday of this week, 65 per cent of the required number of options had been sold, but the full number must be purchased by February 1. Frank Lawson, business manager, says: "As in previous years, a deadline has been set by which time a certain number of options must be sold. May I exhort those who have not purchased them to do so this coming week or as soon as possible? Support this drive, and your book will be insured against failure." The staff also points out that a full quota of advertisements is well assured. These ads will be displayed in a surprising and novel way, together with candid camera shots and comments. However, any student having any contacts with advertisers who wish to contribute to the Annual may secure contract blanks from any staff member. The Annual will be an elaborate, colorful book, featuring pictures of the faculty, all classes, and representative pictures of all organizations. All teams will be shown, and every action photograph of sports will be an actual shot. Articles on the history, dedication, and theme, with brief explanations of each, will be included. "Camera Week" Monday, January 23, to Friday, January 27, has been announced as "Camera Week." During this week (Continued on Page 4) Hollywood Satire New Vehicle for College Players 'Louder, Please' Chosen By Director; To Be Shown in Feb'y PRESS AGTS' TARGET Success of Six Seasons Ago to Rehearse Next Week With rehearsals for the production of the Hollywood satire, "Louder, Please," beginning immediately, the College Players will follow their acknowledged success of the comedy hit, "Father Malachy's Miracle," with one of the outstanding comedy successes of Broadway of six seasons ago. The play, Director James J. Gill explained, is a satire on the methods used by Hollywood press agents in their attempts to gain limelight for their would-be stars. Produced by George Abbot, noted Broadway figure, the play enjoyed considerable success at the Forty-fifth Street Theater, with Buford Armitage and Lee Tracy taking the principal roles. Rehearsals Begin Because of the nearness of the production, Director Gill stated, rehearsals will be intensive in their scope, the keenness of the comedy requiring the ultimate in expert timing and phrasing. Tentative roles were given out last night at the first casting of the semester, but Director Gill explained that the roles are not yet set because of type of characterization required of the student actors. Production of the comedy satire will open the first week in February. The play, written by Norman Krasna, spares no motion picture figure or type in its lampooning of the sensation seeking of the press agents. The play is in three acts, with fast action and biting wit the theme of the entire comedy-drama. "The Success of 'Father Malachy's Miracle' should do much to prove that comedy is the keynote of the modern theater. The play that the College Players will present has not been given on the Coast, thus affording an opportunity for playgoers to enjoy one of the best comedies that has come out of Broadway in many seasons. The author has had an admirable opportunity to observe the targets of his ridicule at close range, and the accuracy of his observation is well illustrated here," Director Gill said. ' Small Cast The cast is much smaller, only fourteen characters comprising the actors in the play, as compared to thirty-eight of the Miracle play, thus allowing more flexibility of handling and greater ease of production. The same audience appeal that characterized the previous play is predicted by Director Gill for his next opus. Jack O'Rourke, publicity director of the Players, confirmed the opinion of the director. "The play, although a comedy, is of an entirely different type than 'Father Malachy's Miracle.' It demands more attention on the part of (Continued on Page 4) Famous Ignatian Exercises Marks Inauguration of 84th Annual Student Retreat ■»- -$■ RETREAT ORDER JANUARY 17, 18, 19, 20 Tuesday — Wednesday — Thursday 8:50 a.m.—Roll Call 9:00 a. m.

REGULAR CLASSES RESUMED FROM 9:50 Friday morning, January 20. Fair Issue of Quarterly Publication Plans Begun Magazine to Feature Past and Present History of San Francisco With the Golden Gate International Exposition nearing completion, plans for the Fair issue of the San Francisco Quarterly have been prepared during the Christmas vacation by the members of the editorial board. The board, comprised of the offi-3>— <S> cers of Kappa Lambda Sigma, upper division honor literary society, consists of Steve Esposto, Archon; Vic Bonfilio, Eparchon, and Jim Mace, Scribe. The entire issue of the magazine will be devoted to San Francisco with colored plates of both the old and new San Francisco being featured in the magazine. The cover will feature a view of early San Francisco. Although no support has been offered by the Exposition officials as yet, it is expected that a certain measure of financial assistance will be given to the magazine. "Because this magazine will be representative of San Francisco and of the university that bears her name, it is hoped that as many students as possible will submit articles for the magazine. We want the best that the student body has to offer and we can get that only if every student will make an effort to present their talents," Esposto said. Esposto added that each article will receive close attention, and will be considered for publication. Copies of the magazine will be mailed to every part of the United States on its release, which will coincide with the opening of the Fair. Because of the nearness to the publication date, the members of the staff have requested that the students who intend to submit articles see one of the members of the board within the next two weeks so that an estimate may be made of the amount of material on hand. As the length one hundred pages, as much copy as possible must be turned in to the printers to facilitate the publication of the magazine coincident with the opening of the Fair. Poetry has been submitted by Jack O'Rourke and Dave Prudhomme, as well as two articles on the early history of San Francisco. Because of the added expense of the plates and the printing, support from some outside source has been expected by the publication council. An article on the history of the University of San Francisco from its start on Market Street, through its growth to the largest and finest equipped private college in the West, through the disastrous period of the Fire to its present status, has been submitted by Professor A. Russell Berti. Following the plan of writing about the California scene, Al Arguello will write about the famous early California figures, "Concepcion and Arguello." Eccentric Figure An article about the famed eccentric character of Emperor Norton has been submitted by a freshman student, Jack Monroe. The article concerns the self-appointed ruler of California, who made history as one of the figures of San Francisco's period of maturity. Edward Doyle, book reviewer for the San Francisco Chronicle, will describe the literary aspect of early San Francisco. John Garzero returns to write an article about music. The issue will be sold at the usual of the magazine will probably exceed student rate of 25 cents. CAMPUS BEAUTIFICATION Fields, Roads Throughout Grounds Constructed By FRANK COURTNEY At an expenditure exceeding $5,000, an expansive program of campus beautification has been launched during the Christmas vacation period by the Administration to improve the university site for the impending International Exposition. The work is made possible through the generosity of an anonymous contributor. Roads leading to all corners of the campus have been completed. The grounds will be adorned with shrubbery, and an athletic field is now under construction. Beginning last Tuesday afternoon, seven hundred truck loads of red rock were transported to the campus, and it is being laid about all of the roads and the ROTC Drill Field to the depth of six inches. Inside of two weeks, the project will be completed. Then the university will boast a main entrance for machines on Golden Gate Avenue, three blocks up from Masonic Avenue. Automobiles will pass through here on a forty-foot road of red rock leading to the athletic field, the drill field, and the center of the campus. The drill field will also be red- rocked. It may be used for parking facilities on special occasions, and perhaps on school days when there are no drills. Shrubbing of the campus will begin immediately, and will be completed by the end of April, according to Father Rossi, superintendent of the project. Shrubbery will be placed along the sides of the roads, on the slope of the hill facing downtown San Francisco, and in all bare spots on the campus. Territory extending forty feet out from the fence will be shrubbed on all sides of the campus, along Masonic Avenue, Golden Gate Avenue, and Parker Avenue. A lawn will extend from the old entrance to Father Rossi's Gardens. "The complete success of the project is largely dependent upon the cooperation afforded by the student body at large. At first, the students will be treated as men—granted every privilege, and allowed full reign of the campus," said Father Rossi. Cause of a great deal of speculation and bewilderment by students has been the athletic field which is springing up along the eastern border of the campus. Here are the facts: The plant will consist of two full- length, lawned fields, either of which may be used for American football, rugby, or soccer. A baseball diamond will extend over both fields. Of course it will lack a turf infield and pitcher's mound. Intramural football and softball games may also be played. Use of the field and playing times will be regulated by the house. It is believed that the football field will be ready for spring practice in 1940. The ground has already been levelled off. The turfing will take a few months. Matting of the lawn will require a year. This is for the grass to grow in properly. After the project here outlined has been fully completed by the Fathers and the Athletic Commission in 1940, further building will begin. The next addition will probably be tennis courts to be placed along Golden Gate Avenue. A modern, fully equipped gymnasium, a science building and a library are additions planned for the future. Meanwhile, the Campus Club, a new organization pledged to unselfish work for the university, has planned a student project in keeping with the beautification program. According to Art Zief, President Pro Tempore, the club will attempt to plant lawn on the hill facing Fulton Street, which will be one hundred and fifty feet long and fifty-five feet wide. In the center of this will be three huge sunken cement letters, reading USF. Each letter will be thirty-one square feet, and will have a breadth of six feet. At least two hundred dollars will be required. Alumni and student contributions are expected. However, the activity has not yet received the approval of the Father President. It is a tentative Campus Club project, and is not included in the regular program of construction. Attendance for All Catholics Is Compulsory By BERCH DOUGHERTY The eighty-fourth annual retreat for all Catholic students of the University of San Francisco will commence with the celebration of Holy Mass at 9:00 a.m. Tuesday morning in St. Ignatius Church. This three-day prayer will run through Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and conclude with the conferring of the Papal Blessing and the reception of Holy Communion at 8:00 o'clock Mass on Friday morning. Regular classes will be resumed at 10:00 a. m. Friday. Father Raymond McGrorey, S. J., spiritual director and Dean of men at the University, would make no announcement as to the retreat master beyond stating that it would be one of the most competent men. in the Jesuit Order. It is safe to say, therefore, that the man who finally ascends the pulpit in the massive and beautiful College Church will be a true descendant of the rugged, red-blooded Ignatius de Loyola, the Soldier Saint. This year, as in the past, special instructions will be offered to non- Catholic students. These lectures will take place in room D-2 and be delivered by three members of the faculty. However, if they so desire, non-Catholics may attend the Catholic retreat exercises. In case of the latter, registration must be made in the office. Attendance at all the retreat services is compulsory for Catholic students. During the past two years retreats have been given by Fathers Edward Whelan and John Connolly of the Society of Jesus. Last year Fathers Raymond Feely, S. J.; Peter Dunne, S. J., and James J. Lyons, S. J., lectured the non-Catholic students. Also were the students addressed by Edward A. Hogan, Jr.; J. Joseph Sullivan and William F. Sweigert of the faculty of the Law Schbol. Plans are now being made to convert room B-l into a library that will house various types of religious books and pamphlets. Should this be accomplished, students are invited to spend recess sessions in this habitat for peaceful meditation. It is expected that over seven hundred students will congregate for roll-call at 8:50 Tuesday morning and then proceed to the Church where Mass, Benediction, Rosary, Stations of the Cross and Sermons will be the daily program. P.D.P. Journal Nearly Ready Publication to Feature World's Fair According to latest reports from the editorial board, the literary journal of Pi Delta Pi, lower division English honor society, is rapidly becoming an actuality. A business meeting of tlie organization has been called by President Frank Courtney for the Monday noon period. At this time the exact amount of work accomplished on the journal will be determined. "It is the duty of every member of the society to make a contribution to the paper. The majority of the members have already fulfilled their obligation," said Courtney. A financial report on the Pi Delta Pi Party held on December 19 will also be given. Enough profit was realized to more than cover the expenses of the journal. Busy Calendar Plans for the coming year will also be outlined. "The semester's work will be featured by meetings at the homes of members, a few guest speakers, and visits to local playhouses, as well as the inaugural production of the Journal," stated John Coleman, S. J., Moderator of Pi Delta Pi. Support Activities Members of the society have pledged their whole-hearted support of the Fair Edition of the San Francisco Quarterly. Most of the members have already obtained their Annual Options. It is also possible that the society will attend the next College Players' production, "Louder, Please," as a body.

Pact Explained
RESUME CLASSWORK
Back again on the "safe side" following his tour of southern Europe,
Father Raymond T. Feely, S. J., revealed the internal disturbances created by the totalitarian activities of
the Fascist states in a recent interview granted to the San Francisco
Foghorn.
Returning from the European
scene, Father Feely, after expressing his gratification at being back
at home once more, expressed the
opinion that an armed conflict will
begin before the present year is
over. \
Beginning his tour with Gibraltar,
Father Feely examined closely the
situation existing in the National
Government of Spain.
"Life behind the Franco lines is as
normal as in San Francisco. Spanish
authorities will tell you that they are
not anxious for a quick victory—it
would be impossible to unite Spain
unless Franco's progress is slow.
The best information that I could
obtain was that England and France
aic anxious 101 u Fianco vJot "m_> in
order to offset the Communist government in Spain, but they are
equally anxious for an autonomous
Catalonia, being fearful that Germany and Italy might have a foothold in the Mediterranean unless
Catalonia is kept separate from
Franco Spain," Father Feely said.
In analyzing the Munich pact,
Father Feely characterized the
necessity for England, France, and
Russia's capitulating to the Fascist
demands. The air threat was the
most compelling factor in the
Munich pact, with the entire situation being dominated by the subjugation of the democratic states
in the air to Italy and Nazi Germany.
"The Catholic and Lutheran persecution is much more subtle, but in
every way as destructive of religion.
German leaders definitely state that
they intend to exterminate Christianity, and their methods are legal
in that they are simply neglecting
the older people and inculcating
the younger people with their Nazi
paganism. The confiscation of
schools and churches in Austria, the
persecution of the parents and of
children who dare to attend denominational schools, are gradually eliminating all church instruction in the
Third Reich," Father Feely observed.
Future irreligiousness throughout
Germany was feared by Father
Feely, who explained that the situation was not sufficiently open to
unite the Lutherans and Catholics,
as the Jewish persecution has united
public opinion against the methods
and political philosophy of the Nazi
government.
No parallel in history can be
drawn, with organizations that are
Christian in purpose or intent being
allowed to function in Germany.
Pope Pius XI has spoken on this
insidious destruction of Christianity in Germany and the issue is
one in which Americans should be
deeply concerned, as they are rightfully interested in the Jewish persecution. The condition of the nuns
in Germany is particularly tragic,
Father Feely continued, with all
opportunities having been taken
away from them, many of them
now working in factories.
More serious in Austria than in
Germany is the religious situation,
because the Concordat that existed
with Germany was never established
in Austria. Even in Germany, articles were appearing in the press that
the Concordat no longer had any
validity, and since the press is inspired by official sources it would
seem that in the near future we may
expect a complete repudiation of this
pact with the Vatican.
Reviewing the situation in the
whole of Europe, Father Feely
characterized the outlook for 1939.
"The best informed authorities
in France and England expect
definitely that in the early spring
of this year the Nazis will drive to
the southeast. The plan seems to

Northwestern Professor
Joins Faculty
Dr. Edwin F. Albertsworth, Professor of Law at the Northwestern
University Law School at Chicago,
will be visiting Professor of Law at
the University of San Francisco during the spring semester, according
to announcement from the office of
Law Dean Kinnane of January 2.
Doctor Albertsworth will inaugurate the work in Administrative Law
which will be offered for the first
time at this University's Law School
as a regular undergraduate law
course.
Doctor Albertsworth preceded
Dean Kinnane in the Deanship of
the University of Wyoming Law
School, taught later at Western Reserve University Law School, and
bocuic a member of Ncrthv.-.octern's
law faculty in 1924. He is nationally
famous for his work in the field of
Public Law.
He holds both the Doctor of Philosophy and the Doctor of the Science of Jurisprudence degrees, the
latter having been conferred by the
law school of Harvard University.
He is a member of the Bar of the Supreme Court of the United States,
of the District of" Columbia Bar, of
the Illinois Bar, and of the California Bar. He has been a prolific
writer, and has written on industrial
and trades matters, and has also prepared a five-volume collection of
"Cases on Constitutional Government."
It was further announced that
Dr. Charles H. Kinnane, Dean, and
Assistant Professor Lee F. Dante
attended the convention of the Association of American Law Schools
at Chicago as representatives of the
University of San Francisco School
of Law. The convention was in session during the last three days of
December.
On December 14 Doctor Kinnane
addressed the members of the San
Mateo County Bar Association at its
quarterly meeting. Dean Kinnane
spoke on "Modern Developments
Regarding the Jurisdictional Property Rights in Injunction Suits." The
point of his talk was that the courts
in recent years have made a large
amount of new law in injunction
cases, and in so doing have largely
gone ahead of the legal profession.
The result has been that lawyers not
specializing in the field are not fully
aware of the great changes that have
taken place in recent years.
The talk was designed to be something in the nature of a practical one
for practicing lawyers.
Dean Kinnane plans that the substance of the talk will be incorporated in a law review article to be
completed for publication in the
near future.
Debaters Arrange

"The important question confronting the varsity debaters this term is:
What is to be done about invitations
for debates from the universities of
Mexico, Hawaii, and Washington?"
This was announced, off the record,
by one of the prominent members
early this week. The faculty director,
Mr. Silva, is doing what is necessary
that all possibilities for such matches

KSFO, will be contacted tomorrow
concerning radio broadcasts of USF
debates as they have been presented
in the past semester.

Showing what was claimed to be
the most substantial balance in any
six months' term for the past three
years, the semi-annual report of the
student body treasury was read at
Wednesday's Executive Committee
meeting.
Student Treasurer Norton Herold
reported that the conservative policies of the present student body administration have contributed to this
splendid report. The profit which
was realized from the Treasure
Island Dance, and which was turned
over to the student body, also contributed to the favorable balance.
Sinking Fund Created
A motion was presented with the
report that a sinking fund for the
student annual be created out of the
money remaining in the treasury as
reported. A short deliberation was
held by the council on this matter,
and finally the motion was passed
unanimously. This motion assures
the students that the profits from the
successful Treasure Island dance
will be combined with treasury surplus to make the annual a financially
sound endeavor.
Next bit of news at the meeting
was the steps in the arrangements of
the Freshman Fandango, taken by
the Frosh class president and his
representatives. Prexy Herning inquired of the chairman what were
the necessary preparations for obtaining dates, approvals, location,
and personnel. Mr. Sexton explained
in detail, and applications and plans
will soon be presented to the proper
authorities for the 1939 model of the
famous dance.
New Parking Ground
A prominent member of the student campus boosters made known
Father Rossi's request that indiscriminate dropping of paper, especially in small pjeces, about the
campus be stopped, as it creates a
great deal of unnecessary work for
his small staff. The council agreed
that this matter may be a small item,
but as its fulfillment meant parking
facilities on the parade grounds for
the students on non-drill days, attempts should be made to insure
student co-operation.
Arthur Zief was appointed head of
the committee to arrange for new
windshield stickers publicizing USF
in order that his efforts in this regard might have official sanction.
Other subjects that came up for
discussion ranged from rallies for
basketball games to the proposed
smoker and prize fight among the
school boxing team and selected opponents. The conventional attitude
of the council toward basketball rallies has heretofore been one of indifference to the matter. One of the
frosh representatives contacted the
vice-president about the feasibility of
a rally in the future. Concerning the
smoker, as no showers will be constructed in the basement of the auditorium for some time, Alan White
reported that such an affair would
have to make arrangements to transport the competitors to and from the
field house for dressing facilities, but
plans were under discussion for a
smoker in the coming boxing season.
Retraction
Professor Bodfish, of the University faculty, was erroneously quoted
in the Foghorn, in a fall issue, as
having addressed the St. Ives Law
Club on the subject of Prison Reform.
This was due to a mistaken publicity release from the St. Ives Law
Club.
The Foghorn regrets the embarrassment caused Professor Bodfish
by its article.
Early this week, definite work was
started on the '39 Don Annual, which
is slated to appear the latter part of
April. Under the capable direction
of Lawrence O'Toole, the newly appointed editor, a staff, consisting of
Ed McQuirk, Dick Blake, and others,
has formulated plans to produce the
biggest book in the history of USF.
As the general opinion voiced by
each member, the staff felt that "with
the great San Francisco World's
Fair setting in our favor, together
with a sound financial backing assured, this Annual will be the greatest of all time."
The book will have as its theme
the historical background of the University, and will present pictures of
the Fair as one of its principal features. Individual pictures, class portraits, organization photos, candid
shots, and sketches will be numerous
and will be presented in a novel way.
Options Selling
Not all the one-dollar options on
the book have been sold as yet, but
the students who have not purchased
them are being contacted. By
Wednesday of this week, 65 per cent
of the required number of options
had been sold, but the full number
must be purchased by February 1.
Frank Lawson, business manager,
says: "As in previous years, a deadline has been set by which time a
certain number of options must be
sold. May I exhort those who have
not purchased them to do so this
coming week or as soon as possible?
Support this drive, and your book
will be insured against failure."
The staff also points out that a full
quota of advertisements is well
assured. These ads will be displayed
in a surprising and novel way, together with candid camera shots and
comments. However, any student
having any contacts with advertisers
who wish to contribute to the Annual
may secure contract blanks from any
staff member.
The Annual will be an elaborate,
colorful book, featuring pictures of
the faculty, all classes, and representative pictures of all organizations. All teams will be shown, and
every action photograph of sports
will be an actual shot. Articles on
the history, dedication, and theme,
with brief explanations of each, will
be included.

Hollywood Satire
New Vehicle for
College Players
'Louder, Please' Chosen
By Director; To Be
Shown in Feb'y
PRESS AGTS' TARGET
Success of Six Seasons
Ago to Rehearse
Next Week
With rehearsals for the production of the Hollywood satire, "Louder, Please," beginning immediately, the College
Players will follow their acknowledged success of the comedy hit, "Father Malachy's
Miracle," with one of the outstanding comedy successes of
Broadway of six seasons ago.
The play, Director James J. Gill
explained, is a satire on the methods
used by Hollywood press agents in
their attempts to gain limelight for
their would-be stars. Produced by
George Abbot, noted Broadway figure, the play enjoyed considerable
success at the Forty-fifth Street
Theater, with Buford Armitage and
Lee Tracy taking the principal roles.
Rehearsals Begin
Because of the nearness of the production, Director Gill stated, rehearsals will be intensive in their scope,
the keenness of the comedy requiring
the ultimate in expert timing and
phrasing. Tentative roles were given
out last night at the first casting of
the semester, but Director Gill explained that the roles are not yet set
because of type of characterization
required of the student actors.
Production of the comedy satire
will open the first week in February.
The play, written by Norman
Krasna, spares no motion picture
figure or type in its lampooning of
the sensation seeking of the press
agents. The play is in three acts,
with fast action and biting wit the
theme of the entire comedy-drama.
"The Success of 'Father Malachy's
Miracle' should do much to prove
that comedy is the keynote of the
modern theater. The play that the
College Players will present has not
been given on the Coast, thus affording an opportunity for playgoers to
enjoy one of the best comedies that
has come out of Broadway in many
seasons. The author has had an admirable opportunity to observe the
targets of his ridicule at close range,
and the accuracy of his observation
is well illustrated here," Director Gill
said. '
Small Cast
The cast is much smaller, only
fourteen characters comprising the
actors in the play, as compared to
thirty-eight of the Miracle play, thus
allowing more flexibility of handling
and greater ease of production.
The same audience appeal that
characterized the previous play is
predicted by Director Gill for his
next opus. Jack O'Rourke, publicity
director of the Players, confirmed
the opinion of the director.
"The play, although a comedy, is
of an entirely different type than
'Father Malachy's Miracle.' It demands more attention on the part of
