OVERTURE FEBRUARY 3,4,5 $Jubltal?f & btj Ihp ABaoriatrb ^tatottte of tit* Unto ratty of San Jranrtaro (Bt 3gnatiUH CJolbg*) LAW-COMMERCE FORMAL JANUARY 30 VOL. VI—No. 1 5 SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., JANUARY 15, 1932 FRIDAY NEEDLES RESIGNS ATHLETIC POST New Staff To Manage Foghorn Dowling Replaces Hanley as Editor for the New- Year In pursuance of FOGHORN policy, the paper will have a completely revised staff for the spring semester, with Jack Hanley, '33, being replaced by William Dowling, '32, in the editorship and George Bottoms, '34, being superseded by Jack Rhode, '34, as sports editor. Lewis Levin will continue as business manager of the publication. FORWARD STEPS Under Hanley's regime the FOGHORN has made decided and definite steps forward. The paper has become a weekly, instead of the bi-weekly that it was formerly. Not a few of the issues were extended into the six- page class. "We are fortunate in having had such a capable man in the editorship for the past term," James J. Gill, publications director, said today. At the same time, Matthew Tier- ney, '32, gives up his position of associate editor to Thomas Trodden, '34. Tierney will continue to delve into the idiosyncrasies of other college and university campi, and write an exact account of them in his feature column. NEW STAFF The new staff begins its duties with the present issue. The men who compose it have been working with the former editor and his associates for the past six months, and are familiar with the work and policy of the publication. The new year expects to see as many improvements in the FOGHORN as can be logically and safely made by the incoming staff. Charles Pearce took over the duties of managing editor with the start of the new term. His staff of assistants will be, in general, the same as last year. Last year's policy regarding the staff of the publication, namely, that anyone who wishes his name on the masthead must do a sufficient amount of work to merit the position, will be rigidly enforced. Oratorical Contest Date Set For February Twelfth Upperclassmen will compete for the annual Ignatian Council award in oratory this year on February i'2 in the Little Theatre. The contest is held annually and is one of the outstanding events of the forensics schedule for the spring semester. A gold medal, the gift of Iga- tian Council No. 35, Young Men's Institute, is the award for the most effective speech of the evening. James Baker Bassett, chairman of the Forensics Council, announced today that any members of the junior or senior classes who wanted to compete for the prize would have to sign up In the office of the registrar early next week. There will be a book placed there for their convenience. The award was won last year by Joseph Dondero, '31, who presented an admirable discussion of the Soviet Russia situation. Eneas Kane, '31, took the medal the previous year. INCW Uramal c . c Prospects for Coaching Position •Spring Semester r J s Considered by Athletic Control Board "Overture" Due Feb. 3 Bolitho's Play Acclaimed Best on Broadway in 1930 Arranged Registrar Announces Scholarship Ranking The ranking students in their respective divisions for the past term are as follows, according to figures released by the registrar's office: Seniors: Sidney Linden, J. J. Sullivan, T. P. Magilligan and Alan B. Aldwell. Juniors: Richard C. O'Connor, James J. Barry, Harold A. Harper, Bernard L. Collier and Rinaldo C. Sciaroni. Sophs: Joseph P. Kane, Frederick J. Hazelwood, George W. Hippeli, John J. Firpo and James D. Gallen. Frosh: William H. Smith, Norman C. Curtis, H. Malcolm Macdonald and Forrest M. Willett. . Sidney Linden and J. J. Sullivan of the senior pre-legal department had a straight "A" average. Spring Registration Totals Not Tabulated Registration figures for the spring term have not yet been compiled by the registrar's office. However, the indications are that the student body has grown in number over the tabula-- tions arrived at last August. The figures at that time were: Day School, 785; Night School, 613; Day Law School, 15. The total enrollment was 1413. PUNS FOR ANNUAL NOW TAKING FORM; PHOTOGRAPHY SOON With final arrangements completed and individual pictures of the members of the Senior and Junior classes and of the fraternities to be taken within the following week, Barry Whitehead, editor of the 1932 Ignatian, today announced that work on this year's annual is well under way. STARR ARTIST The yearbook for 1932 will contain many new interesting features. The art work by Judson Starr, an artist of no mean ability, is in itself a masterpiece, let alone the written material. The book will have four color inserts, worked out in as many colors. The stock to be used is the very latest development of paper recently released by Eastern paper mills. This new brand of paper to be used is in Itself quite costly. Nevertheless it will make the 1932 Ignatian one of the best ever to appear on the campus. PRICE UNDECIDED Whether the price of the yearbook is to be reduced this year or not depends entirely on the circulation and the advertising support given the publication by the general student body. It is hoped to be able to reduce the price as low as $3.50. Senior Ring Orders Expected on Jan. 19 The senior ring committee, composed of S. Linden, J. Coakley and K. Girard, selected a ring which was especially designed by Gardner & Gravelle, San Francisco jewelers. A new price has been set of $20, a $5 reduction from last year's price. Orders are being taken at the present time and it will be greatly appreciated if seniors who have not yet placed their orders will do so at their earliest convenience. •On Tuesday, January 19, at noon, a representative of Gardner & Gravelle will be here at school to take orders for all those who are desirous of obtaining rings. By GEORGE BRADY Work has been started on "Overture," a drama by William Bolitho, the next production of the College Players and the first presentation of the new year. The play will open on February 3rd and will run for the 4th and 5th. It will be produced, as usual, in the University Little Theatre. In producing "Overture" the College Players are presenting drama that is of unquestioned merit. At the time that the piece was first staged in New York in December, 1930, the play was acclaimed the best on Broadway by the distinguished critic, Percy Hammond. ONE OF TEN BEST Burns Mantle selected "Overture" as one of the ten best plays of the year. The criticism of Bolitho's work was of a particularly favorable nature. This drama offers a really satisfactory and capable vehicle to the College Players, for it is well written, brilliantly conceived, intelligently executed and unmarred by the childish phraseology that was exhibited in a recent production. TENSE DRAMA "Overture" is a tense, hard drama, replete with true dramatic situations and suspense. It is, in short, a drama that is complete, brilliant, satisfying and thought provoking, and will prove interesting to the College Players and their admirers. James J. Gill, director of dramatics, is in charge of the production. The cast is headed by such well known players as Bernard Carr, Matt O'Brien, Miss Mary Brennan, Bill Ferdon and Jack E. Freed and a well chosen supporting cast. Adriel Fried, debating manager, announced today that the spring schedule has been tentatively settled by the Forensics Council and will include the usual trip to the southland. The dates for each encounter have not yet been definitely accepted. The debate with the San Jose State Teachers' College on the Boulder Dam issue that was to have taken place during the fall semester and was postponed on account of interference with the Thanksgiving holidays, will take place in the very near future. Debates have also been lined up with Nevada, California, Stanford and San Francisco State Teachers. MEET U. S. C. The southern trip will include contests with TJ. S. C. and TJ. C. L. A. The feature of the spring term will be the McKinley Medal Debate, scheduled to take place on March 15, with the tryouts set for the middle of February. The award in the McKinley Debate is a medal presented by Benjamin L. McKinley, '93, for the best speech of the debate. The medal was won last year by Jack O'Dea of the present senior class. The 1930 contest was won by Vincent Lafferty, '31. SKILLED DEBATERS The entrants in this contest may be from either the upper or the lower classes. The debate always brings out the best of the forensic skill In the university. Jimmy Needles Resigns as Mentor of Don Sports Teams; Coach to Be Chosen From Likely Candidates JANUARY 30 SET FOR ANNUAL LAW- COMMERCE FORMAL FATHER FOOTE FINDS SOLUTION TO OLD GEOMETRY PROBLEM Arch and Arc Initiates The Association of the Arch and Arc initiated three men into the organization during the Christmas holidays. The recently admitted members are Arthur Foley, John Dunnigan and Charles Fenn. The formal initiation was followed by a dinner in honor of the new members. No Faculty Changes For Spring Semester Father H. J. Flynn, S. J., dean of the university, announced today that there were no changes in the faculty for the spring semester. While certain new courses are starting and certain fall semester courses have been completed, the same men will handle the students as before the Christmas holidays. Frosh Meets Wife- Beater; Result— Late Registration "Listen, mister, students are supposed to register on January 8 or 9 for the spring semester," one of the members of the Board of Student Control said to Carl Mclnnis, freshman. "Yeah, I know," Mclnnis said. "See that black eye. Well, I was on my way up here when I saw a fellow beating his wife on the street car." "What's has that got to do with the eye. And another thing, I hear enough of these funny excuses," Joe McCor- mack, chairman of the board, said. "But this is the truth. I walked up to the fellow and slugged him on the chin. He stopped beating his wife. Then I walked over to my seat and started musing about this and that." Mclnnis said the car was two blocks from school when the wife-beater stepped up behind his seat in the street car and hooked a right around from the back. "And you can take that explanation or leave it. But that's why I was late registering." That, however, was only one of the excuses given the board this semester. Here's a better one. Eugene (The Chile) Chilberg walked into the registrar's office Monday, January 11, two days late for spring matriculation. He was told about the usual fine for late registration. "But," Chile explained, "I was down in Los Angeles for the Christmas vacation. Coming home I drove up the Ridge Route over the Tehachapi. When I reached the summit a terrific snowstorm froze the motor. Not only that, the tires on the car churned the snow so fast that it melted like butter." "That's okay by me," the registrar told him. "But tell it to the Board of Student Control." He did. Father Patrick J. Foote, S. J., prominent mathematician and member of the university faculty, says that the statement of most mathematicians to the effect that an angle cannot be geometrically trisected is absolutely false. The reason that Father Foote is so sure that the rest of the mathematicians are wrong is contained in the saying, "Contra factum, non vali- dum argumentum." In other words, he has succeeded in trisecting an angle—has been teaching his method for five years in fact. Father Foote says: "It is really simple once you catch on to It. After trying for thirty years to find the solution to the problem, I finally discovered it some five years ago and I've been wondering ever since why I didn't see it before." METHOD SIMPLE Father's method may be simple; see how it sounds: "The method given is analogous to the method of trisecting a straight line. Here is the method for trisecting an arc of 30 degrees or less: "Quintuple the arc. Draw a cord subtending the first three divisions of the quintuple arc. Also draw a cord subtending the last four divisions of quintuple arc. DRAW THIRD CORD "Finally draw through the intersections of these two cords a third from the upper terminal of the fifth division to the circumference of the circle. "This cord will divide the first division of the quintuple arc into parts having the ratio of two to one, thereby trisecting the arc." Announcement has been made of the annual Law-Commerce Formal which will be held this year on January 30 at the Fairmont Terrace. Arrangements have been made with the management of the hotel for the use of the famous plunge for the greater part of the evening. SCHOOL-WIDE INTEREST It is planned to make the dance this year one of school-wide Interest regardless of division. Acting on this plan, bids have been placed In the hands of Allan Breen and Roy Bianchini, prominent members of the Day School student body. Students of the Arts and Science division may obtain their bids from these men. Bids for the use of the students of the Day Law School may be obtained from Louis Comte. The price of the bids this year has been set at the nominal sum of $1.50 per couple, thus insuring everyone a good time at depression prices. The committee appointed to manage the formal consists of John A. Curtis, chairman, Roy Bianchini, Allan Breen, Richard Cullen, Richard Fitzgerald, Joseph Dondero and Edward Kilmar- tin. Students of the Evening Division may obtain their bids from these men. Soundproof Doors Put in Auditorium The work of installing soundproof doors in the auditorium is rapidly nearing completion. The only remaining part of the work is the covering of the doors with leather. When the task is finished there will be two sets of doors to each of the entrances of the Little Theatre from the main corridor. The object is to deaden the sound that has been a disturbing note during all College Players' productions and all debates that have been held there. The office announced that the work would be completed before the first night of the new play, "Overture," which goes up Wednesday, February 3. Representatives Praise Pacific Relations Meet Ken Girard and Maurice Flynn, of the Senior and Sophomore classes, respectively, were the two delegates from the University of San Francisco to attend the Student Institute of Pacific Relations at Lokoya Lodge over the last Thanksgiving holidays. INSTITUTE EXPLAINED The nature of the institute was explained in a communication received here from Miss Elizabeth Jackson, Publicity Director of the Institute. The Institute extends an invitation to various universities and colleges to send delegates from their Cosmopolitan Clubs, International Relations Clubs, Student National Clubs, Forum Groups, International Houses, and similar organizations to a meeting which has convened at Lokoya Lodge for the past three years. Here the delegates may choose any one of six "round table" discussions, all of which deal exclusively with Pacific problems. Because of the presence of an unusually large Indian and British delegation this year, an additional group met to discuss problems of Indian Home Rule. This question proved so interesting to the Institute as a whole that it was considered at some length in the plenary session, and was followed by a final consideration, by the entire Institute, of the patterns into which the conflicts resulting from imperialism resolve themselves throughout the world. The "round tables" are informal groups in which the discussion is conducted by a leader. These discussions were conducted in a spirit that was at once friendly and scientific. The discussions last for two hours each, two being held each day of the Institute, which lasts from Thursday dinner to Sunday breakfast. The Institute is composed of delegates from many universities and colleges and represents such distant lands as China, Japan, the Philippines, Hawaii, India, Russia, Great Britain, Canada, Germany, Scotland, France and Switzerland. The Board of Athletic Control of the University of San Francisco at the present time is considering the appointment of a new football coach to supercede James R. Needles, who resigned his position as athletic director of the university on January 3. Due to the rush at the opening of the semester, it has been impossible to secure a definite statement from either Graduate Manager James G. Smythe or the members of the Board of Athletic Control on the matter of a new man for the position. Those i mentioned prominently for the coaching job include Jack Chevigney, assistant to "Hunk" Anderson at Notre Dame at the present time. Chevigney is reputed to be the best end in Notre Dame football history. Another of those in the limelight for the position is "Spud" Lewis, backfield coach for Northwestern. Lewis is a former Stanford star. STANFORD MEN Other Stanford stars who are mentioned as a par with Lewis and Chevigney are Ted Swan, line coach at Wisconsin; Ted Shipkey, now holding down the berth of head football mentor at Arizona State, and Harry Ship- key, Ted's brother, now at Salinas High. Among the front line possibilities must be reckoned "Hack" Applequist of Sacramento J. C, who developed "Tony" Donadio, Jack Happe, Glenn and Lyle Brown and Al Koslosky. Babe Hollingberry may come down from Washington State to take over the reins if it is felt that he is the man to be desired for the job. Holl- ingberry's business interests lie in the bay city and the arrangement from his standpoint would be ideal if the financial terms could be made to suit him. BLEWETT MENTIONED Jimmie Blewett, former California star and now with the San Diego Marines; Nibs Price, well known in local sports circles, and "Cack" Hubbard of the Olympic Club are well up in the line of prospects. It was pointed out that the men who have been mentioned have not in all cases applied for the job. If the board should decide that any of these men will be suitable for the position they will be approached on the point. PRESIDENT SPEAKS On the choice of a new sports mentor for the Hilltop, Father Edward J. Whelan, S. J., president of the university, said today that "We educate young men primarily and football is secondary. We will not attempt o break into the big league class of coaches at the present time. The university does not wish to become known as a football university." It was indicated that the type of man who will be acceptable to the board will be one who is ambitious and willing to devote his time and knowledge to the university itself. He must be a capable director and a personable leader. He must not only stress football but also take a hand in the molding of young manhood. It is a certainty that the board will not attempt to set a salary and pick a coach to fit it. When a man acceptable to it is found the Board of Athletic Control is ready and willing to pay him what he is worth. There has been a rumor circulating about the city that Notre Dame system coaches will not be considered and that the university is looking for a man who will teach the Warner system. Certain members of the board feel that the Dons will meet too many teams who play the Notre Dame system during the coming season. Among the U. S. F. opponents who will display the Rockne system next fall are St. Mary's, Pinta Clara, Loyola, Nevada and Gonzaga. It was felt that (Continued on Page 4, Col. 4)

INSTITUTE EXPLAINED The nature of the institute was explained in a communication received here from Miss Elizabeth Jackson, Publicity Director of the Institute. The Institute extends an invitation to various universities and colleges to send delegates from their Cosmopolitan Clubs, International Relations Clubs, Student National Clubs, Forum Groups, International Houses, and similar organizations to a meeting which has convened at Lokoya Lodge for the past three years. Here the delegates may choose any one of six "round table" discussions, all of which deal exclusively with Pacific problems. Because of the presence of an unusually large Indian and British delegation this year, an additional group met to discuss problems of Indian Home Rule. This question proved so interesting to the Institute as a whole that it was considered at some length in the plenary session, and was followed by a final consideration, by the entire Institute, of the patterns into which the conflicts resulting from imperialism resolve themselves throughout the world. The "round tables" are informal groups in which the discussion is conducted by a leader. These discussions were conducted in a spirit that was at once friendly and scientific. The discussions last for two hours each, two being held each day of the Institute, which lasts from Thursday dinner to Sunday breakfast. The Institute is composed of delegates from many universities and colleges and represents such distant lands as China, Japan, the Philippines, Hawaii, India, Russia, Great Britain, Canada, Germany, Scotland, France and Switzerland. The Board of Athletic Control of the University of San Francisco at the present time is considering the appointment of a new football coach to supercede James R. Needles, who resigned his position as athletic director of the university on January 3. Due to the rush at the opening of the semester, it has been impossible to secure a definite statement from either Graduate Manager James G. Smythe or the members of the Board of Athletic Control on the matter of a new man for the position. Those i mentioned prominently for the coaching job include Jack Chevigney, assistant to "Hunk" Anderson at Notre Dame at the present time. Chevigney is reputed to be the best end in Notre Dame football history. Another of those in the limelight for the position is "Spud" Lewis, backfield coach for Northwestern. Lewis is a former Stanford star. STANFORD MEN Other Stanford stars who are mentioned as a par with Lewis and Chevigney are Ted Swan, line coach at Wisconsin; Ted Shipkey, now holding down the berth of head football mentor at Arizona State, and Harry Ship- key, Ted's brother, now at Salinas High. Among the front line possibilities must be reckoned "Hack" Applequist of Sacramento J. C, who developed "Tony" Donadio, Jack Happe, Glenn and Lyle Brown and Al Koslosky. Babe Hollingberry may come down from Washington State to take over the reins if it is felt that he is the man to be desired for the job. Holl- ingberry's business interests lie in the bay city and the arrangement from his standpoint would be ideal if the financial terms could be made to suit him. BLEWETT MENTIONED Jimmie Blewett, former California star and now with the San Diego Marines; Nibs Price, well known in local sports circles, and "Cack" Hubbard of the Olympic Club are well up in the line of prospects. It was pointed out that the men who have been mentioned have not in all cases applied for the job. If the board should decide that any of these men will be suitable for the position they will be approached on the point. PRESIDENT SPEAKS On the choice of a new sports mentor for the Hilltop, Father Edward J. Whelan, S. J., president of the university, said today that "We educate young men primarily and football is secondary. We will not attempt o break into the big league class of coaches at the present time. The university does not wish to become known as a football university." It was indicated that the type of man who will be acceptable to the board will be one who is ambitious and willing to devote his time and knowledge to the university itself. He must be a capable director and a personable leader. He must not only stress football but also take a hand in the molding of young manhood. It is a certainty that the board will not attempt to set a salary and pick a coach to fit it. When a man acceptable to it is found the Board of Athletic Control is ready and willing to pay him what he is worth. There has been a rumor circulating about the city that Notre Dame system coaches will not be considered and that the university is looking for a man who will teach the Warner system. Certain members of the board feel that the Dons will meet too many teams who play the Notre Dame system during the coming season. Among the U. S. F. opponents who will display the Rockne system next fall are St. Mary's, Pinta Clara, Loyola, Nevada and Gonzaga. It was felt that (Continued on Page 4, Col. 4) |
