Produce Famous Broadway Success an jfrantteco Jfogfjorn OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE ASSOCIATED STUDENTS UNIVERSITY OF SAN FRANCISCO WEAR WHITE SHIRTS IN ROOTING SECTION Z56 VOL. XXI, No. 4 SAN FRANCISCO, SEPTEMBER 15, 1939 FRIDAY DONS START BEST EVER YEAR -<$> By THE EDITOR FALL'S MADNESS . . . starts this Sunday when the Dons and Rattlers, , for the fourth consecutive year, officially open the intercollegiate season. From now until January the only topic from coast to coast will deal in yardage, punts, and passes. Sunday's game holds especial interest for San Francisco fans in that it will be the unveiling of what George Malley openly declares to be his best team in USF history. Material galore in all positions, plus a galaxy of talented backfield stars, have prompted the Duke to be boastful almost to the point of being bold. We are inclined to tag along with George though, and do predict that at the season's end a new name will be blazoned across the gridiron horizons of the country. NATIONAL PUBLICITY . looms for the Dons in Sunday's game, for "Life" magazine is having their sports photographer on the scene to snap pictures of the game as the official opening of the new season. The pictures will be used as part of a feature story surrounding the traveling Rattlers, and, as part of the game, the Dons get in on the national angle. NEWS IS . . . plentiful around the campus, and The Foghorn strives to bring it all to you. However, some stories do escape us, perhaps a short story about some gathering or another personal angle that will prove interesting reading to The Foghorn subscribers. Short stories, a plentiful amount of them, tend to make a paper attractive. If you have anything in the way of news bring it in. We'll publish it, and you'll enjoy reading it. What could be fairer? SO FAR . . . this semester no activity towards appointing an annual staff has appeared, nor has any mention of the Don been heard around the campus. We learned from last year's experience how damaging it is to let a thing slide, and how a rush job at the end of a semester imposes too much of an obligation upon the editorial staff. The staff of the 1939 Don did nobly under the terrific handicaps under which they were forced to work, but there is no reason why this same situation should reappear this year. If the annual is to continue, let's get moving on staff appointments, and avoid hardships later on.

"What a Life," originally scheduled, has been cancelled due to the failure to obtain the producer's release. Unique Play "Our Town," from the standpoint of the College Players, will be unique in that its presentation re- Flash! John Freed, prominent young alumnus, class of '34, will return to the boards of the Little Theater in the lead of the College Players new production, "Our Town." Freed, one-time president of the College Players, is noted for the young lead in "The Bad Man," in which he co-starred with Barney Carr. quires no scenery and carries out the theatrical aspect utilized by many successful bare stage productions now enjoying popularity on Broadway. James J. Gill The absence of scenery, according to Mr. Gill, permits the actor's presentation to dominate the performance rather than be overshadowed by extravagant props. This technique was developed by Orson Welles, of "The Man from Mars" fame, in his first WPA production, "Dr. Faustus." "Although devoid of scenery, 'Our Town' will be one of the most expensive productions ever presented at USF," stated Richard Tichcnor, S. J., business manager for the College Players. The announcement of the cast will be made in the forthcoming issue of The Foghorn. Reception for Law School Men Faculty to Honor Law Students Sunday Night Following the football game on Sunday afternoon, September 17, the faculty of the School of Law is going to meet informally with the members of the Law School student body and their wives in the Francesca Room. This reception is to be held for the purpose of having the faculty become better acquainted with each other. The faculty is being assisted by President Clifford and William Landtbom of the Day Division, and by Frank Frisch, George Helmer, Agnes O'Brien of the Evening Division. Father Dunne Guest Special guests will be Very Rev. William J. Dunne, S. J., Rev. Cornelius A. Buckley, S. J., Rev. Raymond T. Feely, S. J., and Rev. John Preston, S. J. Ex Committee Meeting Held Last Tuesday Fair Dance in Conflict With Annual Soph Drag ROSSI HABLED Tuesday, September 11, saw the first Executive Committee of the new year. The meeting was called to order by the president of the Student Body, Frank Lawson. The absent members were Jim Herning and Dave LaValle. The reports were submitted of the various activities in which the Student Body officers have- been engaged in since the first weeks of school. Art Zief made a report on the progress of the raffle, and stated that it looked as though the results would be satisfactory. However, arrangements have been made for keeping open the Student Body office until 11:45 Friday morning, when the drawing will be held. Thus all returns will be able to be turned in. A report was read from the Frosh Reception, and it was decided that Bob Rossi should be congratulated on the huge success of the dance. The vacancies of the various committees were filled and a notice will appear on the bulletin board giving further information on this matter. Al Larkins, the Sophomore Class prexy, inquired about the possible dates for the annual Soph Drag. However, because of the scheduled USF Day at the Fair on October 14, a difficulty presents itself concerning the appropriate date for the dance. It was decided that tentative arrangements will be made for some time in November. A request from the officers of the ROTC to form a club among themselves was heard by the committee. The purpose of this club is to foster better spirit and create more interest and unity among the officers of the USF Battalion. Bill Scott, Bob McCarthy, and Bill Figari have been appointed to consider this matter. At this point Tom Waters moved for an adjournment of the meeting and the motion was immediately seconded by Ed McGuirk. St. Marys of Texas Rally Today at Eleven O'Clock Drawing for Band Raffle to Be Day's Feature; Don Band to Play By DICK KEEGAN The music of the new University of San Francisco Band will mark the beginning of the first rally of the year to be held today at 11 o'clock in the college auditorium to arouse the fighting spirit of the student body for the game against the Rattlers of Saint Mary's of Texas. The drawing for the two portable radios, ten season tickets to USF football games, and ten sets of tickets to USF Day at the Fair will be held. The raffle was given by the University of San Francisco Band. The band will march through the halls in both the main building and the annex on its way to the auditorium. The organization will begin its trek from room D10. It will march up the aisles of the auditorium playing the school songs. The student body may get a preview of the new uniforms to be worn by the band this season. George Malley is scheduled to PHIL HANLEY Directs Rally give another one of his sparkling talks to the student body. The spirit of the school should be raised to fever pitch by the talk by the Don coach. The committee headed by Phil Hanley is trying hard to get Mose Sims and Doug Locke, coach and assistant coach of the Rattlers respectively, to appear before the assembly. The band will then give a few selections, so that the school will see how far the organization has come in the past year. The drawing will then be held under the direction of Phil Hanley. Yells The last part of the rally, which is scheduled to last one hour, will be devoted to learning the new yells, the practice of old ones, and the singing of our school songs. This will be the first appearance of our new yell leaders, Vern Gates, Cliff Jenson, and Jack Kinbark. Phil Hanley, assisted by John Barbagelata, Frank Courtney, Harry Katz, Ray Agosti, Cliff Jenson, and Ed McGuirk, have worked hard to make this an initial success. It is up to the student body to get in the spirit of the affair and make it liter ally a howling success. Banquet Given for USF Army Officers Last evening the officers of the University of San Francisco R. O. T. C, led by Cadet Major Paul D. Golden, attended a banquet held in their honor by the Reserve Officers Association at the National Guard Armory. Eighteen senior and junior officers of the USF unit attended and were addressed by Major- Gcneral Paul Malone, who quoted the need and use of a sufficient and well-trained reserve officers' organization. Also all the members of the University unit were presented with their membership stripes in the Junior Reserve Officers Association. Salesians Hold Annual Meeting With an eye toward building future leaders, the Salesian Academy held their annual convention last week-end at the Dante Building. Delegates attending the activities were students and alumni from such colleges as USF, Santa Clara, St. Mary's, California, Stanford, Catholic University, Creighton, and SFJC. NATIONAL REGISTRATION Dons Open Season Sunday In Qame With St Mary's Rattlers From San Antonio Band Will Show Novel Uniforms In Texas Game School of Law Releases Figures and Averages The final figures for registration in the School of Law have been released by Margaret Proctor, secretary. There are thirty-nine enrolled in the Day Division and seventy-one in the Evening Division. The majority of those enrolling in the Day Division have come from the University of San Francisco, but there are representatives of Georgetown University, University of Denver, University of British Columbia, University of California and the University of Utah. Wide Registration The Evening Division is about evenly divided between the University of San Francisco and other schools, among them University of South Carolina, Santa Clara, University of Michigan, University of Hawaii, University of Minnesota, the College of the City of New York, St. Mary's, University of California, San Mateo and Fresno State. There are, in addition, three special students holding responsible positions with the Crown-Zellerbach Corporation, Matson Navigation Company and Rathbone, King and Seeley. The pre-legal averages of the entering classes are exceptionally high. There are twenty-eight students who have pre-legal averages above 1.50, fourteen of which have pre-legal averages above 2.00. Seven students have pre-legal averages below 1.50, four of which are above 1.40. Three of the above seven have pre-legal averages below 1.29, the lowest of which is 1.24. These figures seem to give convincing proof of the increasing influence of the University of San Francisco in the field of legal education. Bus Line Shows Movies to KAP Lecture Is Centered on Greyhound Tour The first of this semester's series of noontime lectures given by Kappa Alpha Phi was held last Wednesday in C-10. The Greyhound Bus Company's representatives brought out movies and showed them to the assembled students. The pictures, complete with sound and music, showed the tour of a young honeymooning couple in a circle trip around our country, visiting scenes of beauty and historic interest in many states. Undecided at first as to where to go on the momentous occasion, they were convinced by Greyhound's low fares and the fact that they could see as much in the United States as they could in a world tour. Most of the large cities and vacation spots were visited and the couple arrived home with money saved, tired but happy, and resolving to take another such trip whenever the opportunity would present itself. Thomists Hold First Meeting Inaugurating their yearly series of philosophical discussions, the Thomists met Monday evening in the Father Semeria Room. Speaker of the evening was Mr. Joseph Rock, S. J., who spoke on "The Baptism of Aristotle by Aquinas." Mr. Rock, S. J., traced the history of Aristotlean philosophy from its birth to the time of Thomas Aquinas. He explained how the Arabian philosophers distorted this philosophy and how, on the other hand, the Augustinians disclaimed this philosophy. It was shown how St. Thomas had to take the middle road so that the truths of Aristotlean philosophy would not be lost to the world. Describes Course Following the formal talk Mr. Rock, S. J., described the course in philosophy as given at Mount St. Michael in Spokane. The manner by which the philosophic circles were held in order to impress upon them the forms of the theses was also described. At the close of the meeting Mr. Fearon, moderator of the group, gave a short talk. Ralph Newport then welcomed the new members that were present and announced that the next meeting would take place the first Monday after mid-term. All members of the junior class that wish to join are informed to give their names to Dino Orlandi. Onlookers will rub their eyes in astonishment as the ostentatious issue of the Don Band parades onto the stadium floor this Sunday. Black Levi's are a thing of the past. Bright green whipcord pants with shining gold braid stripes down the sides are the order for the day. Plato Leads The four drum majors, led by George Plato, will be completely outfitted in new ensembles as will be the leaders and mascots. It remains for the raffle to be a huge success to outfit the band entirely. Remember, we still have tickets to be sold and it requires the support of the entire student body. A huge program is in prospect for the band this year. Among feature events will be participation in "Don Day" at the Fair on October 14, and the parade on Armistice Day. While on the Isle the band will introduce a new "pep" song dedicated to Father Flynn, S. J. Many Members Looking over the roster, we note there are thirty members of the Pep Band who also are players in the R.O.T.C. Band. Mr. Earley, S. J., moderator, would like to see an increased participation in the Military Band. He also suggests any instrument player contact him if interested in participating, as all students are eligible and the school bands can always use more players. Paleontologist Speaks to Club About Fossils I.R.C. to Enter Fresno Confab Carrico to Continue Joint Conferences Paul Carrico, head of the International Relations Club, today announced plans for its participation in the Northern California I. R. C. Conference at Fresno State on the 10th and 11th of November. The Conference will be held under the auspices of the Carnegie Endowment and is in charge of Amy Hemmingway Jones, the Divisional Assistant Director of International Relations Clubs. The Carnegie Endowment will send several distinguished speakers to the round-table discussions. This conference should be especially interesting in view of the present circumstances existing in Europe. Mr. Carrico also announced that the custom of holding discussions with International Relations Clubs at the College for Women, Dominican, and other Bay Area colleges will be continued. By PAUL TISSOT Yesterday the Wassman Club, at their regular Thursday meeting in room D-l, had as their guest speaker, Dr. Leo Hertlein, Ph.D., noted paleontologist of the California Academy of Science. He talked on the largest and smallest fossil remains on the Pacific Coast, and his lecture was well attended by members of the club and faculty. Dr. Hertlein is a member of the Paleontology Department of the California Academy of Science located in the Golden Gate Park. His department boasts a collection of over 1,000,000 specimens of invertebrates. Speeches such as Dr. Hertlein's are planned by Wassman Club President Bill Robertson in order to attract even a larger attendance than that usually had. The president is also planning many field trips for the immediate future. Many Members The Wassman Club has about fifty student members and over 100 doctors and dentists from the vicinity of San Francisco enrolled within its ranks. Lectures are given at various intervals by these prominent and learned members of this profession. "The Collector," the official journal of the club, has attained nationwide publicity due to its originality and resourcefulness, and it is published bi-annually by members of the organization. The first "Collector" will be published in the latter part of November. Due to the resignation of John Shea as treasurer of the club, the vacancy has been filled' by the appointment of Jack Gorevan to the office. Any student wishing to join this active club should attend the meetings held every other Thursday in room D-l at 12:10 p. m. Malley Freely Predicts Great Year For Dons Registration Up In All Divisions The largest Catholic university west of St. Louis is the position held by the University of San Francisco, according to figures just released by the office. The total enrollment of all schools of the University is slightly in excess of 1,250 students. Indicative of the general increase in registration is the College of Liberal Arts with a gain of 10 per cent over last year. The extension courses show a growth of 25 per cent. The reason for this general development of the University may be traced to the splendid work of the students in general in promoting their college, and in advertising it among their friends. A more immediate cause is the efforts of the newly organized Publicity Bureau, under the direction of Executive Secretary Joseph Rock of the Alumni Association. Final registration figures will be available for Foghorn readers next week. Mark Hopkins to Hold USF Night Prior to the San Jose State game, the Mark Hopkins Hotel is sponsoring a University of San Francisco night in the Peacock Court, Friday, September 22. Emil Coleman and his New York Society orchestra will play for the Dons, and special entertainment is promised all who attend. See John Barbagelata for reservations. Renovate Stage Wanted — Painters, electricians, and general handymen. With preparations already under way for the new play, "Our Town," the stage crew of the University College Players are giving the back stage a clean sweep. Paint will be spread generously around the back stage, while a crew of electricians will work on the lights. For some time now, the backstage of the Little Theater has needed some repair work, and it is now being realized. All those members of the student body who are interested or who have had any experience with a paint brush are urged to contact Trude Spearman, who will immediately put them to work. Strong Reserve Strength Present for First Time in History In what has practically become an annual game, the University of San Francisco officially opens the intercollegiate gridiron season this Sunday afternoon against the traveling Rattlers from St. Mary's University of San Antonio. Arrived Yesterday Thirty-four strong, the Rattlers pulled into town late yesterday and checked in at the Empire Hotel, where Head Coach Mose Sims immediately held a press conference with the San Francisco scribes, informing said gentlemen of the press about how good was his new squad from other ones that have appeared on the Kezar turf of the Dons' home field. But no matter how much improvement is evident in this year's Texas team, it will have to be something to cope with Malley's rejuvenated squad. Plenty of Reserves For, for the first time in Don gridiron history, the Hilltoppers are blessed with lettermen in every position, and can go two and three deep in capable reserve strength. Blessed with a galaxy of triple- threat backfield material, the Duke of the Hilltop is hard pressed to name his four starters to carry the mail. Malley freely and fearlessly predicts a great season for the Dons, and when one looks over the roster of names like Fisk, Johnstone, Mosconi, Visentin, Finch, Reid, Bianchi, Wunderling, Pudoff, and the soph sensation, Pete Franchesci, it is hard to see how the Dons can miss. Line Untested However, it is the line tljat presents the problem. If Al Tassi and Eddie Erdelatz have done their work well then George's worries are over. Graduation left four big vacancies in the forward wall—two great tackles and two steady guards. Nevertheless, Tassi and Erdelatz believe that Hill and Keith at the tackle posts will offset the graduation of Miatovich and Rice, while the two guard posts should be strong what with thirteen candidates for the starting call. At center and at the end posts the Dons are well fortified, and can go three deep without any noticeable slack in performance. Sophomore Star Malley's eyes gleam with pride when you mention the name of his prize sophomore pupil, Pete Franchesci. George predicts that Pete will be the sophomore sensation of the Coast this year, and is counting on him to electrify the fans with his long runs for which the flashy Italian is famous. Two weeks of intensive practice have been held by the Dons in preparation for this gridiron opener Sunday, and the Green and Gold team is ready to launch its "best ever" year. Malley and his aids honestly believe it is the year, the fellows themselves have caught the spirit, and the material is there. Results will speak for themselves! There goes the opening whistle! Grab yourself a program and settle down, for the Dons are on the march—goalward.

NATIONAL REGISTRATION Dons Open Season Sunday In Qame With St Mary's Rattlers From San Antonio Band Will Show Novel Uniforms In Texas Game School of Law Releases Figures and Averages The final figures for registration in the School of Law have been released by Margaret Proctor, secretary. There are thirty-nine enrolled in the Day Division and seventy-one in the Evening Division. The majority of those enrolling in the Day Division have come from the University of San Francisco, but there are representatives of Georgetown University, University of Denver, University of British Columbia, University of California and the University of Utah. Wide Registration The Evening Division is about evenly divided between the University of San Francisco and other schools, among them University of South Carolina, Santa Clara, University of Michigan, University of Hawaii, University of Minnesota, the College of the City of New York, St. Mary's, University of California, San Mateo and Fresno State. There are, in addition, three special students holding responsible positions with the Crown-Zellerbach Corporation, Matson Navigation Company and Rathbone, King and Seeley. The pre-legal averages of the entering classes are exceptionally high. There are twenty-eight students who have pre-legal averages above 1.50, fourteen of which have pre-legal averages above 2.00. Seven students have pre-legal averages below 1.50, four of which are above 1.40. Three of the above seven have pre-legal averages below 1.29, the lowest of which is 1.24.

All members of the junior class that wish to join are informed to give their names to Dino Orlandi. Onlookers will rub their eyes in astonishment as the ostentatious issue of the Don Band parades onto the stadium floor this Sunday. Black Levi's are a thing of the past. Bright green whipcord pants with shining gold braid stripes down the sides are the order for the day. Plato Leads The four drum majors, led by George Plato, will be completely outfitted in new ensembles as will be the leaders and mascots. It remains for the raffle to be a huge success to outfit the band entirely. Remember, we still have tickets to be sold and it requires the support of the entire student body. A huge program is in prospect for the band this year. Among feature events will be participation in "Don Day" at the Fair on October 14, and the parade on Armistice Day. While on the Isle the band will introduce a new "pep" song dedicated to Father Flynn, S. J. Many Members Looking over the roster, we note there are thirty members of the Pep Band who also are players in the R.O.T.C. Band. Mr. Earley, S. J., moderator, would like to see an increased participation in the Military Band. He also suggests any instrument player contact him if interested in participating, as all students are eligible and the school bands can always use more players. Paleontologist Speaks to Club About Fossils I.R.C. to Enter Fresno Confab Carrico to Continue Joint Conferences Paul Carrico, head of the International Relations Club, today announced plans for its participation in the Northern California I. R. C. Conference at Fresno State on the 10th and 11th of November. The Conference will be held under the auspices of the Carnegie Endowment and is in charge of Amy Hemmingway Jones, the Divisional Assistant Director of International Relations Clubs. The Carnegie Endowment will send several distinguished speakers to the round-table discussions. This conference should be especially interesting in view of the present circumstances existing in Europe. Mr. Carrico also announced that the custom of holding discussions with International Relations Clubs at the College for Women, Dominican, and other Bay Area colleges will be continued. By PAUL TISSOT Yesterday the Wassman Club, at their regular Thursday meeting in room D-l, had as their guest speaker, Dr. Leo Hertlein, Ph.D., noted paleontologist of the California Academy of Science. He talked on the largest and smallest fossil remains on the Pacific Coast, and his lecture was well attended by members of the club and faculty. Dr. Hertlein is a member of the Paleontology Department of the California Academy of Science located in the Golden Gate Park. His department boasts a collection of over 1,000,000 specimens of invertebrates. Speeches such as Dr. Hertlein's are planned by Wassman Club President Bill Robertson in order to attract even a larger attendance than that usually had. The president is also planning many field trips for the immediate future. Many Members The Wassman Club has about fifty student members and over 100 doctors and dentists from the vicinity of San Francisco enrolled within its ranks. Lectures are given at various intervals by these prominent and learned members of this profession. "The Collector," the official journal of the club, has attained nationwide publicity due to its originality and resourcefulness, and it is published bi-annually by members of the organization. The first "Collector" will be published in the latter part of November. Due to the resignation of John Shea as treasurer of the club, the vacancy has been filled' by the appointment of Jack Gorevan to the office. Any student wishing to join this active club should attend the meetings held every other Thursday in room D-l at 12:10 p. m. Malley Freely Predicts Great Year For Dons Registration Up In All Divisions The largest Catholic university west of St. Louis is the position held by the University of San Francisco, according to figures just released by the office. The total enrollment of all schools of the University is slightly in excess of 1,250 students. Indicative of the general increase in registration is the College of Liberal Arts with a gain of 10 per cent over last year. The extension courses show a growth of 25 per cent. The reason for this general development of the University may be traced to the splendid work of the students in general in promoting their college, and in advertising it among their friends. A more immediate cause is the efforts of the newly organized Publicity Bureau, under the direction of Executive Secretary Joseph Rock of the Alumni Association. Final registration figures will be available for Foghorn readers next week. Mark Hopkins to Hold USF Night Prior to the San Jose State game, the Mark Hopkins Hotel is sponsoring a University of San Francisco night in the Peacock Court, Friday, September 22. Emil Coleman and his New York Society orchestra will play for the Dons, and special entertainment is promised all who attend. See John Barbagelata for reservations. Renovate Stage Wanted — Painters, electricians, and general handymen. With preparations already under way for the new play, "Our Town," the stage crew of the University College Players are giving the back stage a clean sweep. Paint will be spread generously around the back stage, while a crew of electricians will work on the lights. For some time now, the backstage of the Little Theater has needed some repair work, and it is now being realized. All those members of the student body who are interested or who have had any experience with a paint brush are urged to contact Trude Spearman, who will immediately put them to work. Strong Reserve Strength Present for First Time in History In what has practically become an annual game, the University of San Francisco officially opens the intercollegiate gridiron season this Sunday afternoon against the traveling Rattlers from St. Mary's University of San Antonio. Arrived Yesterday Thirty-four strong, the Rattlers pulled into town late yesterday and checked in at the Empire Hotel, where Head Coach Mose Sims immediately held a press conference with the San Francisco scribes, informing said gentlemen of the press about how good was his new squad from other ones that have appeared on the Kezar turf of the Dons' home field. But no matter how much improvement is evident in this year's Texas team, it will have to be something to cope with Malley's rejuvenated squad. Plenty of Reserves For, for the first time in Don gridiron history, the Hilltoppers are blessed with lettermen in every position, and can go two and three deep in capable reserve strength. Blessed with a galaxy of triple- threat backfield material, the Duke of the Hilltop is hard pressed to name his four starters to carry the mail. Malley freely and fearlessly predicts a great season for the Dons, and when one looks over the roster of names like Fisk, Johnstone, Mosconi, Visentin, Finch, Reid, Bianchi, Wunderling, Pudoff, and the soph sensation, Pete Franchesci, it is hard to see how the Dons can miss. Line Untested However, it is the line tljat presents the problem. If Al Tassi and Eddie Erdelatz have done their work well then George's worries are over. Graduation left four big vacancies in the forward wall—two great tackles and two steady guards. Nevertheless, Tassi and Erdelatz believe that Hill and Keith at the tackle posts will offset the graduation of Miatovich and Rice, while the two guard posts should be strong what with thirteen candidates for the starting call. At center and at the end posts the Dons are well fortified, and can go three deep without any noticeable slack in performance. Sophomore Star Malley's eyes gleam with pride when you mention the name of his prize sophomore pupil, Pete Franchesci. George predicts that Pete will be the sophomore sensation of the Coast this year, and is counting on him to electrify the fans with his long runs for which the flashy Italian is famous. Two weeks of intensive practice have been held by the Dons in preparation for this gridiron opener Sunday, and the Green and Gold team is ready to launch its "best ever" year. Malley and his aids honestly believe it is the year, the fellows themselves have caught the spirit, and the material is there. Results will speak for themselves! There goes the opening whistle! Grab yourself a program and settle down, for the Dons are on the march—goalward. |
