James J. Lyons, S.J. spread over the campus. It was Oct. 22, 1954. at 9:30 a.m. in St. Mary's Hospital that the University lost a true friend. Fr. Lyons died at the age of sixty-one. Father Lyons experienced a slight stroke while visiting with friends on Sunday, Sept. 12. Although he was urged to see a doctor, he assured them that it was nothing serious. On Tuesday, Sept. 14, Fr. Lyons entered the pulpit to preach the sermon at the St. Ignatius High School's Mass of the Holy Ghost. Following his talk, Father returned to the faculty building. Entering the dining room, he began his breakfast when he experienced a severe paralytic stroke. Extreme Unction was administered and he was removed to St. Mary's Hospital where he lay until his death last Friday. Born in Missouri! Fr. James Lyons was born in St. Louis, Missouri, Sept. 21, 1893 and entered the Jesuit seminary in Los Gatos in 1914. He was ordained in Lou- vain Cathedral in Belgium in 1927. Father was assigned to the faculty of Santa Clara in 1929 and served as the University's president from 1932 to 1935. It was during this tenure that he founded the Catala Club for mothers and benefactors of Santa Clara. Following his presidency at the University of Santa Clara, Father Lyons filled the office of Dean of Faculty at Loyola University at Los Angeles for a year. He was then sent to USF where he was stationed until his rieath. He was Dean of Faculty from 1936 to 1939, , moderator of the Sodality, director of the Health Service for students, and moderator of the Kappa Lambda Sigma. Fostered Schola Cantorum Father Lyons was extremely interested in all musical endeavors on the campus, both instrumental and vocal, and in particular, the Schola Cantorum. He constantly promoted symphonies and opera and stressed the necessity for culture in lectures to social clubs around the Boy Region. As moderator for the Loyola Guild, Father secured financial aid for the University. His activities off the USF campus included work with Bishop Cantwell of Los Angeles, now deceased, to bring the religious community, the Daughters of Jesus and Mary, to America. He was presented with a document a few years ago by that Congregation marking him as one of their founders in America. The solemn Office of the Dead was recited in dimly lighted St. Ignatius Church Sunday afternoon. It was well attended by both laity and clergy. The requiem Mass celebrated Monday morning, Oct. 25, at 9 a.m. was one of the (Continued on Page 6) Fellowship Awards Offered Students The National Academy of Sciences-National Research Council-National Bureau of Standards Postdoctoral Research Associateships in chemistry, mathematics and physics for the academic year 1955-1956.

The new members, Tony De Rago, John Minto, and Carl Nolte, were duly installed at the weekly Thursday morning meeting on October 21. Membership in the fraternity is restricted to those maintaining a B average in a political science major. Thomists Discuss Adler's Lectures The Thomists meet again Tuesday, October 26, to discuss the preparation for Dr. Mortimer Adler's next talk on "Sense and Intellect." All are invited to attend. Readings from St. Thomas are posted on the Clubs Board next to the mail boxes. All who come are requested to prepare for the discussion.

The Scientists have adorned the USF auditorium with Hallowe'en decor. Students are urged to buy their tickets before the dance tonight as a. large crowd is expected. The price of admission is 75 cents and the dance is either stag or drag. The dress for the evening is sport. Lay Faculty to Attend Unique Retreat Day What is believed to be the first one day spiritual conference entirely for the lay faculty and initiated by them, will be held Monday, November 1st at El Retiro San Inigo in Los Altos. The purpose of the spiritual conference is to give the lay professors an opportunity to review the religious and moral bases of the teaching vocation and profession, and to refreshen, strengthen and prosper those worthy ideals, peculiar to the vocation, in the daily lives and work of the professors. The institution of a spiritual conference or day of spiritual recollection has already been established in San Francisco for teachers in the public schools. Experience has shown that such an institution becomes a common fellowship of spiritual strength among the teachers themselves, and an important bond of mutual respect and helpfulness between the teachers on the one hand, and the students, religious teachers, and the school generally on the other. • USF's lay faculty feels the first spiritual conference for lay teachers to be held at the University comes at an appropriate time, on the eve of our most important University celebration: the Centennial Year. For the lay faculty will re-dedicate themselves, their talent and work to The Great Master Teacher, Christ, and gather new inspiration and strength in discharging their gigantic responsibility, the teaching of youth. The spiritual conference will open with Holy Mass, and will be followed by addresses appropriate to the purposes of the conference. Father Zacheus Maher, S.J., S.T.D., will serve as master-preacher of the conference. The facilities of El Retiro San Inigo were made available to the teachers by Father President John F.X. Connolly, S.J. Arts Dean Attends Eastern Assembly Father Alexis Mei, Dean of Arts and Sciences, attended a meeting of the American Council on Education, which was held in Chicago two weeks ago. Evening Parking Dilemma The parking problem during Evening Division has become a pertinent, hazardous problem as every night an average of 60 illegally parked cars can be found all over the campus. This situation has risen, not from the lack of parking space, but from the unconcern and negligence of drivers. The violations occur mainly behind the Liberal Arts Building, beside the Student Lounge, and across the entrance to the Library. From the appearances of the illegal parking, it would seem that the facilities for parking are not adequate; however usually there are areas to the west of the Library and in front of the huts which are not filled. At present there exists no system of parking control at night. During the day the problem is handled by the Board of Student Control which fines students in other than the specified areas. As a result of their control, illegal parking is kept at a minimum and traffic is seldom impeded. The situation is, therefore, up to the Evening Division. By their cooperation only can the problem be alleviated. It is possible that they could work out some system similar to the BSC method. Perhaps after the evening students have been alerted to the illegal parking, they can take steps to correct it, thus cooperating with the University. All Annual Photos Schedules Set For Semeria This Week All students who have missed their YEARBOOK photo appointments or have not, as yet, been scheduled inust report during the coming week to the Semeria Room between nine and one to have their pictures taken. Coat and tie are required for the photo. It is imperative that all Dons report this week for their Centennial Yearbook photos! Tom Collins Studios are in charge of the pictures. Don Players Open Four Nite Stay in Little Theater Girls Attend Glee Sessions The Glee Club has been holding its regular class every Monday morning at 10 a.m. and on Thursday morning for all who are able to attend at 10 a.m. period. Many have shown interest in the club, and by earnest practice the group will make fine appearances this year. Elections of officers for this year brought the following results: Vice-President Dick Tello, Secretary Ray Jurasin, and Treasurer Joe Aschero. Another matter recently completed by the club was a unanimous decision to allow girls into the Glee Club. At the next meeting, ten Lone Mountain girls joined in the singing. Several projects are in the making; the immediate one being the formation of a quartette. This group would be able to sing for rallies, dances, and student body functions. Anyone interested in auditioning for such a quartet should see Ray Jurasin or leave a note in Convocation Box 446 as soon as possible. Any suggestions for a name for the group will be appreciated. Philhistorians Host Bay Area Debators On November 1, the Philhistorian Debating Society will play host to representatives from California, Stanford, and City College of San Francisco. The debate tournament will concern United States diplomatic recognition of Communist China. Military Requiem Thursday Military honors will accompany the prayers of the student body and faculty next Thursday, Nov. 4, at the solemn Requiem Mass for deceased USF students and faculty members. Attendance at this Mass is compulsory for all day students of the University, both Catholic and non-Catholic. Jesuit Tradition Goes On Father President John F. X. Connolly, S.J., will celebrate this special Mass, which is one of the oldest traditions at all Jesuit schools. Rev. Paul J. Harney, S.J., will serve as deacon and Rev. Lloyd R. Burns, S.J., will be sub-deacon. Rev. Kavanaugh, S.J., will deliver the sermon. Full Military Ceremony Pomp and military precision will mark the procession of the $. ultv and clergy into the church. First, a guard of ROTC officers will precede the Pershing Rifle color guard. Next in cap, gown and academic colors will come the faculty, followed by the deans and administrative officers of the University. After the faculty the clergy and altar servers will enter in cassock and surplice. Next, in the solemn black of the occasion will be the ministers of the Mass. Trumpet Sounds Sanctus Because of the semi-military nature of the Mass, a trumpet will be used at the Sanctus instead of bells, and taps will be played after the absolution at the catafalque. Following the last prayer, the national anthem will be played on the organ, then a solemn recessional. Tickets for the forthcoming College Player's production on Monday next are now on1 sale in the College Player booth situated in the main hall of the Liberal Arts Building. Federal Positions Soon Available * Students interested in civil service employment may obtain full information on jobs available and the required examinations through Pi Sigma Alpha, the Political Science Fraternity, according to Dr. Alexander Smetana, fraternity moderator. Data are maintained for the three governmental branches, federal, state and city. Up-to-date announcements are posted on the revolving bulletin board outside Ro'om D-9 in the Administration Bldg. Further information may be obtained by consulting Dr. Smetana in the Political Science Division or any member of Pi Sigma Alpha. By MAC HULL ON MONDAY NEXT, a comedy by Phillip King, will open a four-night run in the University Little Theatre Wednesday, Nov. 3. Tickets are on sale, $1.00 for general admission and fifty cents for students. Several newcomers to the College Players will add variety to the first production of the semester. Virginia Church, as the feminine lead, brings with her experience on both the San Francisco and New York stages. Jerry Johnson, another newcomer, steps into the role of Norwood, a serious young actor. Sever Returns To Spotlight Well-known in USF drama circles, Clarence Sever will play a role very different from his portrayal of Rubashov in DARKNESS AT NOON last spring. He plays the producer-director of a theatrical group in ON MONDAY NEXT. Marge Werby returns to the Little Theatre after a long absence. She is remembered as Amanda in THE GLASS MENAGERIE, and as Lady Macbeth. She is also remembered for her comedy roles in ARSENIC AND OLD LACE and TWO BLIND MICE. Character Role After playing the role of Luba in DARKNESS AT NOON and Marianne in WINTERSET, Betty Bennett returns in a character part. Miss Bennett has been a steady performer with the USF group for four years. She is expected to turn in a professional portrayal. Two other actors who distinguished themselves in the past. John Collins and Dave Devincenzi, will be seen in entirely new roles. Devincenzi plays a stage manager. Outstanding Set Director-Technician Stuart Bennett has created one of his outstanding sets. Mr. Bennett has achieved considerable note for his bold techniques in production of classical and modern plays. His skill has been recognized widely. The play itself, a British comedy, has been revamped by Director Bennett for American production. It deals with a group of semi-professional actors hard at work on two productions. Rehearsing a new show mornings while another show is running at night, the director discovers an unexpected audience at one morning rehearsal. He does not let the players know they are being watched. What follows is two hours of entertaining theater. ON MONDAY NEXT is as fast moving as it is filled with subtle and, sometimes, not too subtle humor. Good seats are still available for all performances including opening night, Nov. 3. Alpha Sigma Nu Elects Officers USF's chapter of Alpha Sig ma Nu, National Jesuit Honor Society, recently elected their officers and began the year in earnest. Leo McCarthy was elected fraternity president, while Bob Lovejoy, John Murphy and Gus Fernandez captured the posts of vice-president, secretary and treasurer. The other members of the society are: Dick Bechelli, Jim Cavanaugh and Ken Letner. Membership in this, USF's most select organization, is determined by outstanding loyalty, service and scholarship. Two men may be chosen each year from each college and three additional by special appointment of the President of the University. The members .devote themselves to the higher interests of the University. For the most part, they are reticent about their activities. As one of the members put it, "We prefer quiet effectiveness rather than showy display." Cadet Officer Club Plans Military Ball On Thursday, November 4, at 8 p.m., the Scabbard and Blade will hold an initiation banquet at the Noonday Club, 450 Market St. The initiation will climax the pledging period of 12 new members. The Scabbard and Blade is also making plans for the forthcoming Military Ball, details of which will be announced soon. Lay Apostolate Hilltop Begins Classes In a recent estimate, the number of Catholic children attending public schools who do not receive release time or after-school religious instruction was established at well over 3,000,000. Convinced that the answer to the problem of how to "reach and teach" these multitudes of tomorrow's Catholic adults is not more classes taught by priests, brothers, and sisters (already overworked in above- average class loads in Cath olic schools). The C.C.D. (Confraternity of Christian Doctrine) is striving to mobilize the great resources of intelligence, good will, and solid piety of the Catholic laity of today. The C.C.D. is the lay apostolate in action under the guidance of the clergy. Through this system the Catholic layman can be of valuable assistance to the pastor in his parish, especially where there is a scarcity of priests, by aiding in instructing the truths of faith, and in the practice of Christian life. In an effort to reach those who are willing to take an active part in such a program the San Francisco Archdioce- san Confraternity of Christian Doctrine is holding classes on the University of San Francisco campus. These classes are designed to train teachers, whose duty it shaH be to assist the priests and religious in the religious edu cation work in the parish; home visitors, who shall make surveys of the parish, and promote attendance at instruction classes; and helpers, who shall arrange for the transportation of the children, assist in the preparation of the instructional material, and perform such other duties as will promote, the work of the C.C.D. Classes are held each Monday evening; from 7:30 p.m. until 9:30 p.m. in Hut-7. Your attendance is invited. Latin Americans Unite On Campus A week ago Sunday a small but enthusiastic group of Latin American resident students met and discussed the possibilities of organizing a Latin American club on campus. Miguel Castillo, acting as chairman of the informal meeting, stressed the need for such a jgroup and urged the students present to cooperate in forming the organization. Castillo, a native of Cuba, and a veteran of the Korean conflict, proposed that the purpose of the club be to foster within the Latin American student at the University a sense of his responsibility as a representative of his country in the United States. "Far too many people in the United States consider us as indolent, banana - growing revolutionists," stated Castillo, "and it is up to each of us to correct that notion and impart to them a. deeper knowledge of our culture, our people, and our country." In addition, Castillo expressed the hope that the club would help to promote a stronger feeling of fellowship among the Latin Americans on campus. "I also believe," added Castillo, "that by being active members of a recognized group on campus we can acquire a closer relationship with the University, so that after we graduate and return to our respective countries we will encourage our friends to seek the same benefits of the Jesuit education that we received." CLARENCE SEVER Campus Historians Slate Field Trips The History Club held its first meeting of the year on Oct. 7 under the direction of a new moderator, Fr. Smythe, S.J., who replaces Fr. J. McGloin, S. J., now at Loyola University. The election of officers was held: Leo McCarthy was elect, ed president; Charles Baciga- lupi, vice-president; and John Foran, secretary-treasurer. A second meeting was held on Oct. 15 at which an activity program was mapped out. It was decided that speakers would be sponsored by the club during the year either to address the entire student body or the membership of the club itself. The major portion of the club activities will consist of round-table discussions, similar to those held by the Great Books Foundation^ of the works of the great historians from Thucydides to Toynbee. Tentatively the club has scheduled the consideration of only one book a month. It is hoped that once the program is adopted it will be continued from year to year so that any student interested in history can intelligently examine and discuss the works of the influential historiographers. Other matters considered by the membership were field trips to points of historical interest in California and the possibility of a fund raising social. The History Club extends a welcome to students interested in any phase of history. Membership is* divided into Regular meetings are held on the second Thursday of each month during activities period in Room C-ll, beginning promptly at 10:10 a.m. All interested students are cordially invited. Holy Names-USF Co-Rec Day Set Holy Name College, of Oakland, will sponsor a free Co- Recreation Day for USF students only, on Monday, November 1, from 2:30 to 10 p.m. at Mosswood Park. The park is located at Webster and Mac- Arthur Blvd., in Oakland. The program will include athletic events with prizes, dinner, variety entertainment and a dance. Irishers Welcome Accepted Pledges Wednesday night's gathering of the Clanna Eireanna turned out to be a strictly policy meeting. After the preliminary address by the club moderator, Father Robert McMahon, S.J., the new members were initiated into the ways and means of the largest organization on campus. President Jerry Crowley announced that plans have been formulated for Irish movies and speakers in the near future. Then Treasurer Bob King clarified the situation concerning dues. The deadline for the payment of dues has been set for November 1. Anyone who has not paid the $2.00 by that time will be dropped from the roster of the club. New members after November 1 will be assessed $3.00. Drop Deadline Set All day division students are reminded that the last day for dropping courses without penalty is November 5, 1954.

Burns, S.J., will be sub-deacon. Rev. Kavanaugh, S.J., will deliver the sermon. Full Military Ceremony Pomp and military precision will mark the procession of the $. ultv and clergy into the church. First, a guard of ROTC officers will precede the Pershing Rifle color guard. Next in cap, gown and academic colors will come the faculty, followed by the deans and administrative officers of the University. After the faculty the clergy and altar servers will enter in cassock and surplice. Next, in the solemn black of the occasion will be the ministers of the Mass. Trumpet Sounds Sanctus Because of the semi-military nature of the Mass, a trumpet will be used at the Sanctus instead of bells, and taps will be played after the absolution at the catafalque. Following the last prayer, the national anthem will be played on the organ, then a solemn recessional.

Tickets are on sale, $1.00 for general admission and fifty cents for students. Several newcomers to the College Players will add variety to the first production of the semester. Virginia Church, as the feminine lead, brings with her experience on both the San Francisco and New York stages. Jerry Johnson, another newcomer, steps into the role of Norwood, a serious young actor. Sever Returns To Spotlight Well-known in USF drama circles, Clarence Sever will play a role very different from his portrayal of Rubashov in DARKNESS AT NOON last spring. He plays the producer-director of a theatrical group in ON MONDAY NEXT. Marge Werby returns to the Little Theatre after a long absence. She is remembered as Amanda in THE GLASS MENAGERIE, and as Lady Macbeth. She is also remembered for her comedy roles in ARSENIC AND OLD LACE and TWO BLIND MICE. Character Role After playing the role of Luba in DARKNESS AT NOON and Marianne in WINTERSET, Betty Bennett returns in a character part. Miss Bennett has been a steady performer with the USF group for four years. She is expected to turn in a professional portrayal. Two other actors who distinguished themselves in the past. John Collins and Dave Devincenzi, will be seen in entirely new roles. Devincenzi plays a stage manager. Outstanding Set Director-Technician Stuart Bennett has created one of his outstanding sets. Mr. Bennett has achieved considerable note for his bold techniques in production of classical and modern plays. His skill has been recognized widely. The play itself, a British comedy, has been revamped by Director Bennett for American production. It deals with a group of semi-professional actors hard at work on two productions. Rehearsing a new show mornings while another show is running at night, the director discovers an unexpected audience at one morning rehearsal. He does not let the players know they are being watched. What follows is two hours of entertaining theater. ON MONDAY NEXT is as fast moving as it is filled with subtle and, sometimes, not too subtle humor. Good seats are still available for all performances including opening night, Nov. 3. Alpha Sigma Nu Elects Officers USF's chapter of Alpha Sig ma Nu, National Jesuit Honor Society, recently elected their officers and began the year in earnest. Leo McCarthy was elected fraternity president, while Bob Lovejoy, John Murphy and Gus Fernandez captured the posts of vice-president, secretary and treasurer. The other members of the society are: Dick Bechelli, Jim Cavanaugh and Ken Letner. Membership in this, USF's most select organization, is determined by outstanding loyalty, service and scholarship. Two men may be chosen each year from each college and three additional by special appointment of the President of the University. The members .devote themselves to the higher interests of the University. For the most part, they are reticent about their activities. As one of the members put it, "We prefer quiet effectiveness rather than showy display." Cadet Officer Club Plans Military Ball On Thursday, November 4, at 8 p.m., the Scabbard and Blade will hold an initiation banquet at the Noonday Club, 450 Market St. The initiation will climax the pledging period of 12 new members. The Scabbard and Blade is also making plans for the forthcoming Military Ball, details of which will be announced soon. Lay Apostolate Hilltop Begins Classes In a recent estimate, the number of Catholic children attending public schools who do not receive release time or after-school religious instruction was established at well over 3,000,000. Convinced that the answer to the problem of how to "reach and teach" these multitudes of tomorrow's Catholic adults is not more classes taught by priests, brothers, and sisters (already overworked in above- average class loads in Cath olic schools). The C.C.D. (Confraternity of Christian Doctrine) is striving to mobilize the great resources of intelligence, good will, and solid piety of the Catholic laity of today. The C.C.D. is the lay apostolate in action under the guidance of the clergy. Through this system the Catholic layman can be of valuable assistance to the pastor in his parish, especially where there is a scarcity of priests, by aiding in instructing the truths of faith, and in the practice of Christian life. In an effort to reach those who are willing to take an active part in such a program the San Francisco Archdioce- san Confraternity of Christian Doctrine is holding classes on the University of San Francisco campus. These classes are designed to train teachers, whose duty it shaH be to assist the priests and religious in the religious edu cation work in the parish; home visitors, who shall make surveys of the parish, and promote attendance at instruction classes; and helpers, who shall arrange for the transportation of the children, assist in the preparation of the instructional material, and perform such other duties as will promote, the work of the C.C.D. Classes are held each Monday evening; from 7:30 p.m. until 9:30 p.m. in Hut-7. Your attendance is invited. Latin Americans Unite On Campus A week ago Sunday a small but enthusiastic group of Latin American resident students met and discussed the possibilities of organizing a Latin American club on campus. Miguel Castillo, acting as chairman of the informal meeting, stressed the need for such a jgroup and urged the students present to cooperate in forming the organization. Castillo, a native of Cuba, and a veteran of the Korean conflict, proposed that the purpose of the club be to foster within the Latin American student at the University a sense of his responsibility as a representative of his country in the United States. "Far too many people in the United States consider us as indolent, banana - growing revolutionists," stated Castillo, "and it is up to each of us to correct that notion and impart to them a. deeper knowledge of our culture, our people, and our country." In addition, Castillo expressed the hope that the club would help to promote a stronger feeling of fellowship among the Latin Americans on campus. "I also believe," added Castillo, "that by being active members of a recognized group on campus we can acquire a closer relationship with the University, so that after we graduate and return to our respective countries we will encourage our friends to seek the same benefits of the Jesuit education that we received." CLARENCE SEVER Campus Historians Slate Field Trips The History Club held its first meeting of the year on Oct. 7 under the direction of a new moderator, Fr. Smythe, S.J., who replaces Fr. J. McGloin, S. J., now at Loyola University. The election of officers was held: Leo McCarthy was elect, ed president; Charles Baciga- lupi, vice-president; and John Foran, secretary-treasurer. A second meeting was held on Oct. 15 at which an activity program was mapped out. It was decided that speakers would be sponsored by the club during the year either to address the entire student body or the membership of the club itself. The major portion of the club activities will consist of round-table discussions, similar to those held by the Great Books Foundation^ of the works of the great historians from Thucydides to Toynbee. Tentatively the club has scheduled the consideration of only one book a month. It is hoped that once the program is adopted it will be continued from year to year so that any student interested in history can intelligently examine and discuss the works of the influential historiographers. Other matters considered by the membership were field trips to points of historical interest in California and the possibility of a fund raising social. The History Club extends a welcome to students interested in any phase of history. Membership is* divided into Regular meetings are held on the second Thursday of each month during activities period in Room C-ll, beginning promptly at 10:10 a.m. All interested students are cordially invited. Holy Names-USF Co-Rec Day Set Holy Name College, of Oakland, will sponsor a free Co- Recreation Day for USF students only, on Monday, November 1, from 2:30 to 10 p.m. at Mosswood Park. The park is located at Webster and Mac- Arthur Blvd., in Oakland. The program will include athletic events with prizes, dinner, variety entertainment and a dance. Irishers Welcome Accepted Pledges Wednesday night's gathering of the Clanna Eireanna turned out to be a strictly policy meeting. After the preliminary address by the club moderator, Father Robert McMahon, S.J., the new members were initiated into the ways and means of the largest organization on campus. President Jerry Crowley announced that plans have been formulated for Irish movies and speakers in the near future. Then Treasurer Bob King clarified the situation concerning dues. The deadline for the payment of dues has been set for November 1. Anyone who has not paid the $2.00 by that time will be dropped from the roster of the club. New members after November 1 will be assessed $3.00. Drop Deadline Set All day division students are reminded that the last day for dropping courses without penalty is November 5, 1954. |
