VI—No. 12 SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., NOVEMBER 13, 1931 FRIDAY U Brass Rail" Chosen As Next Play Petition Signed by Students Prominent Students Sign the Petition to Force General Meeting Voicing their disapproval in no uncertain terms, a group of U. S. F. students has circulated a number of petitions requesting the aid of 10 per cent of the student body in overruling the executive committee's decision to oust the name of the Gray Fog. Whether or not this petition will affect the executive committee's decision has caused students to dig deep for their handbooks and read up on the constitution of the university. PETITIONS OUT One prominent upperclassman, vigorously opposed to the changing of the name, circulated the petition. Members of the executive committee also have circulated a petition for the adoption of a new name. The committee sponsored a contest in the FOGHORN last week. HEATED DEBATE At the meeting of the executive committee this week every member Leo Carillo Secures the Rights for the Brass Rail While many students were protesting the changing of the name "Gray Fog," numerous suggestions were handed into the FOGHORN and members of the Executive Committee. One ef the bent names yet to be offered, in the opinion of student leaders, was the "Dons." This name was suggested by Jack Rhode, assistant sports editor of the FOGHORN. It was pointed out that this name carried much tradition with it. The Jesuit Fathers founded St. Ignatius College in San Francisco In 1855. Shortly before 1855— in 1850— California was admitted to the Union of the United States. The Dons of California left many things with which to be remembered and had football been instituted in those days they probably would have named their team as Rhode has suggested. was present and a heated debate was held. Some members charged that the committee passed the ruling ousting the Gray Fog name when a quorum was lacking. The name Gray Fog was never officially adopted by the Associated Students of U. S. F., the committee pointed out. Several years ago the press employed the term to designate U. S. F. athletic teams. Because of the widespread publicity the athletic teams received under the name Gray Fog, it was generally thought that the name had been officially adopted by the student body. "This, however, was not the case," George Ososke, president of the student body, said. "The name was not officially adopted by the students." The petition circulated was signed by many prominent students. It read: "We, the undersigned, believing ourselves wholly in the interest of the University of San Francisco protest the action of the executive committee in regard to the name 'Gray Fog' and request the action be submitted to a vote of the General Student Body of the Associated Students of the University of San Francisco. SIGNED BY "Louis Ohleyer. Alfonso Tous. Joseph A. McCormack. Robert Britt. Paul McArdle. Richard C. O'Connor. Don McStocker. Emmett Hayden, Jr. Edward S. Sullivan. Louis Prusinovski." Many other students signed the petition and a total of more than 110 names have been secured. This number is more than the necessary 10 per cent to demand a referendum of the matter Involved to the student body. Leo Carillo, friend of the University of San Francisco, has once again come to the front to enable the College Players to obtain the rights to present one of their productions. He has secured for the College Players the rights for the "Brass Rail," which will be presented in the Little Theater December 6, 7 and 8. It will be remembered that Carillo was intru- mental in securing the rights for "Quits," first production of the 1930 fall semester. Leo Carillo is at the present time playing in "The Broken Wing" at Henry Duffy's Alcazar Theater. His co-star is Dale Winter. This play is another one of Henry Duffy's well- known San Francisco presentations which have made him famed as the producer of the cleanest plays on the coast. Xmas Formal Bids Will Go on Sale Next Week: Murphy The General Activities Committee, under the direction of Ed Murphy, announced this morning that bids for the Christmas Formal, to be held on December 12, would go on sale next Wednesday, November 16. The Christmas Formal will be held in the university auditorium, in keeping with the tradition of this dance. "The bids to this dance will be limited to 150," Murphy said, "and because of this, we expect to be flooded with requests for bids when the quota has been sold. It would be advisable for students to get in touch with members of the committee early next week and make reservations." Well Known Actor Leo Carillo aided the College Players in obtaining rights to their next production. PICTURES FOR YEAR-BOOK WILL BE TAKEN SOON FLYING MISSIONARY, KILLED IN ALASKA, BURIED THIS WEEK Father George H. Woodley, flying Alaskan missionary, who was killed in a ravine fall in Alaska in October, was buried Wednesday in Calvary Cemetery, Queens. Five army planes droned overhead and dropped flowers over his grave, according to an International News Service dispatch from New York. Father Woodley had gone on a hunting trip with his brother, Brother Arthur Woodley, and a guide. They were in a wilderness country about 70 miles northwest of Anchorage. After a day of hunting the three were on their way back to the camp. Brother Arthur and the guide heard Father Woodley call to them, saying that he was going to get a sheep he had just shot. When they did not hear from him again for some time they became alarmed and started a search. They found him at the foot of a 200-foot cliff his neck broken by the fall. It was believed he had hung to the edge of the cliff for several moments before he fell. According to Barry Whitehead, editor, plans are now under way for the 1932 Ignatian. Individual pictures of the members of the Senior and Junior classes and of the frateru'M,s and honor societies will be taken immediately after the Christmas holidays. Much work has already been accomplished which will facilitate the finishing of the remainder when college re-opens after the new year. The year-book for 1932 will contain several novel and interesting features. Judson Starr, distinguished artist, has completed the four main division pages, the title page and the frontispiece, and is now working on the minor division pages. The book will have four color inserts, worked out in as many colors. The stock to be used is a new development in paper recently released by Eastern paper mills. The new paper is rather costly, but will make the 1932 Ignatian the best year-book the campus has yet seen. Moreover, a fine type of engraving is to be used, and a very colorful, but not garish, book is promised. An outstanding feature also is the effort of the editor and the staff to reduce the price of the book from |4.60 to $4-00 or ?3.50. This will depend entirely on the circulation and the advertising support given the publication by the general student body. Santa Clara Rally Offers Big Program Guaray, Harris, Weeks Trio to Be Featured by Frosh S. J. State Debaters To Meet U. S. F.

The men, Gene Kneebone and Lloyd "Toby" Guffrie, came to the coast with the Wolves' football squad for their annual game with the University of California. Guffrie Quarterback "Toby" Guffrie, Nevada quarterback, is the player who made the touchdown against the Gray Fog last year.

FRATERNITIES PLEDGE FORTY IN RUSH WEEK COSMOPOLITAN CLUB HEARS LECTURE ON MANCHURIAN TOPIC "The Manchurian problem and what it means to the American balance of trade," was the topic which Mr. Urbi- stando, foreign student at U. S. F., lectured on Wednesday before the members of the Cosmopolitan Club. Mr. Urbistando explained the Oriental viewpoint of the question from the Japanese, Chinese and Russian standpoints, with the possible benefits to America at the outcome of the controversy. Enthusiastic The members of the club proved enthusiastic about the discussion and decided upon a continuation of it at the regular weekly meeting to be held next Wednesday in room B2 at the noon hour. This lecture was the first of a series to be presented by members of the club. In the near future Mr. Reed will talk on the Spanish situation. Don Quixote Plans Semi-Annual Feed Don Quixote, the Spanish club, is preparing plans for their semi-annual banquet and get-together.

The view shows the college buildings that will crown the Hilltop in the future. Beautiful Campus When the plans are completed, U. S.

Thespians Start On New Play 'Brass Rail' Selected As Next Presentation of College Players BY GEORGE BRADY "Brass Rail," by Paul Dickey, has been selected as the second play of the dramatic year. This drama will be presented by the College Players in the University Little Theater on the evenings of December 7, 8, and 9, with a matinee on the afternoon of December 6. The play itself is one that is intensely appealing and whose theme cannot fail to be of enthralling interest to a present-day audience. The problem dealt with, thoroughly age- old in itself, is one of those very human and typically life-like themes, ageless in their appeal to the human mind. INTERESTING PACE And the deft handling of the plot by its author, the exposition of the fundamental emotions involved in the story of the play, the effective and Tickets for the "Brass Rail" will go on sale early next week at the box office, in the main corridor. The practice of placing the seats on sale for fifty cents, started at the first play of the term, will be continued. Seats may be reserved for any of the three nights of production. The show will go up Monday night, December 7, and will continue for three performances. There will be a special matinee for children on the preceding Saturday or Sunday. Get your tickets early. Get them for the first night, if possible. Philhistorians Hold Open Forum Discussion Postponing its weekly debate, the Philhistorian Debating Society witnessed one of the most heated open discussions this year when the timely Sino-Japanese question was introduced to the floor by a member this week. It was not but a few minutes after the Japanese question was mentioned that most members in the society were participating in the open forum discussion. Roy Bianchini, discussing the current situation in Manchuria, gave an accurate background of Chinese history. His facts were doubted by some of the members, but when President Richard O'Connor ordered him to give authoritative sources for his statements, Bianchini left the floor only to return shortly after with 1931 editions of diplomatic controversies that were in the university library. Lounge Bridge Table For Use of Seniors A bridge table and four chairs finished in green and gold has been installed in the students' lounge recently. It is fitted with ash trays on the sides and has caused a great deal of favorable comment. Father Flynn emphasized the fact that this set is for the exclusive use of SENIORS ONLY. interest compelling pace of the drama should make the production successful. The play Is modern, having a modern (that is, in its application) theme, a present-day setting and not unfamiliar setting of a Canadian hunting lodge. The play is presented in three acts. There is no change of scenes, as the entire action of the drama takes place in the Canadian hunting lodge. AUTHOR CLEVER The dialogue is well done, and there are several instances in which the author shows a Wildian touch in the epigrams and quips he puts into the mouths of his characters. "Brass Rail" is a distinct change from the last production of the College Players, "The Show Off." In "Brass Rail" the interest is not stimulated by the curiosity revolving around one character (Aubrey Piper) and so centralized in that character as to make the interest in the other characters in the play merely dependent upon their relation to Piper. In "Brass Rail" the suspense and interest, although not less intensified and sustained, is concerned almost to an equal degree. In short, the play achieves its effects by the collective interest that attaches Itself to the various characters in the play working as a unit, with the chief interest being built up around "Steve Chunder." The name is well balanced and offers excellent histrionic opportunities to those interpolating the characters in the play. NO LIQUOR QUESTION At the present time the interest of almost all people is concerned to a greater or less degree, varying with each particular individual, with the question of a liquor play dealing with the effects of liquor upon the intellectual qualities of moral balance. "Brass Rail" is modern and not a "sugary" sentimental play. It has for its specific plot the reactions of a newspaper correspondent who goes haywire after the war. He battles the liquor angle to victory in the Canadian wilds. The newspaper man is well on his way to dipsomania, but he is able to catch himself with the aid of affection and understanding.

AUTHOR CLEVER The dialogue is well done, and there are several instances in which the author shows a Wildian touch in the epigrams and quips he puts into the mouths of his characters. "Brass Rail" is a distinct change from the last production of the College Players, "The Show Off." In "Brass Rail" the interest is not stimulated by the curiosity revolving around one character (Aubrey Piper) and so centralized in that character as to make the interest in the other characters in the play merely dependent upon their relation to Piper. In "Brass Rail" the suspense and interest, although not less intensified and sustained, is concerned almost to an equal degree. In short, the play achieves its effects by the collective interest that attaches Itself to the various characters in the play working as a unit, with the chief interest being built up around "Steve Chunder." The name is well balanced and offers excellent histrionic opportunities to those interpolating the characters in the play. NO LIQUOR QUESTION At the present time the interest of almost all people is concerned to a greater or less degree, varying with each particular individual, with the question of a liquor play dealing with the effects of liquor upon the intellectual qualities of moral balance. "Brass Rail" is modern and not a "sugary" sentimental play. It has for its specific plot the reactions of a newspaper correspondent who goes haywire after the war. He battles the liquor angle to victory in the Canadian wilds. The newspaper man is well on his way to dipsomania, but he is able to catch himself with the aid of affection and understanding. |
