Everyone comes back to^gbool glad—vacations become tejjjpus. Duties are light yet stretch every face. kch out to be shaken Jgs are exchanged over Pleasant excitement t'as programs are made out, strange vagueness as decisions are made between courses in zoology or Chaucer. It is good to be back Sten if a newspaper had to be brought out the first week of school. FRESHMEN. The men of the class of '37 are new to the University of San Francisco . . . new to the college atmosphere. Work Is done in a different manner than in hightfor preparatory schools. Daily assignments are the exception to the general rule. Don't let the change delude you. Grading is done almost entirely on examinations—begin to prepare for the first one NOW. It has been the experience of the upper classmen that they had to learn to study after starting college. Make a definite program of study, and stick to it. Do not forget that unexcused absences will'automatically lower a grteie. OtherBtearned this lesson at the expense.-*! honor points. EXPANSION. The FOGHORN, according to the Handbook, is a newspaper published by the Associated Students of the University of S*i Francisco. Thus it does not belong to the comparatively few members of the staff. It is a community, enterprise. Its duty is to reflect ine activities of the student body in all fields. Last year members of the Publications Council realized that the paper must expand to meet growing needs. The change from a seven to an eight- column paper was the ans^ver. With the added space, the FOGHORN staff hopes to be better able to serve the student body^ The paper is the voice of the students. Through it each student can and doeB become better acquainted with his fellow student. HISTORY. Economic history has been in the process of becoming. Present and future happenings are such that they concern every student. The present period is interesting from the historical, sociological, legal and cultura' viewpoints. Has history witnessed the break-up of an economic system? What significance would any profound change have on present social conditions? Where tend we? Is a governmental order for wholesale boycotting of recalcitrant manufacturers and merchants legal? How is the working man to use his shorter hours—in intellectual development, or in sloth or dissipation? These are only a few questions that suggest themselves. There should be some interesting Polemics in the Philhistorian and Gavel debating societies. FOOTBALL. Talking to Spud Lewis during registration week, and football season optimism lurked In every word. Said Spud: "A veteran first team backed up by veteran replacements should go » long way." Said he hoped that the student body would make the team feel that it was a winner that they wanted. "At Northwest- eru." he grinned, "if the team loses, the players are afraid to show themselves on the campus until they have won the next game." • • * JB^h ERS.

News Space Of Foghorn Increased Growth of Activities Brings Publications Council Decision With the number of columns increased from seven to eight, the FOGHORN, directed by Bernard Wiesinger, editor, and Stanley Kearney, business manager, has continued the progress which began three years ago with the work of Jack Hanley, '33, as editor and Lewis Levin, '34, as business manager. Hanley was enabled to change the paper from a bi-weekly to a weekly because of the volume of advertising obtained by Levin. William J. Dowling, when editor, increased the size from six columns to seven. Eight columns is the standard width for newspapers, and allows the maximum of print and advertising space without materially increasing the size of the paper. A change was first proposed shortly before the end of last semester when it was seen that the growing activity of the university, coupled with a large increase of advertising, was beginning to crowd the student weekly for space. An eight-column paper was approved by the Publications Council last Friday night. Plans were made for a close-knit staff organization. Meetings twice weekly will allow the staff to work as a cooperative unit. Reporters, copy readers. News Editor Noel Dyer and Managing Editor Robert Halsing will write, edit and plan each edition under supervision of the editor. Thorough coverage of a sources, writing swiftly a rately in good style stressed by editors, write! copy readers. The ambit Business Manager Kearney ' balanced financial budget. As the student body organ, the FOGHORN'S goal for the year 1933-34 is gaining reader interest by Interesting, informative, and instructive stories and articles. Juniors First On Honor Roll The class of '34, with sixteen out of a class of 130 receiving honor grades, received the*lajghest scholastic standing of the jfcder- graduate classes. The class of '35 with nineteen out of an enrollment of 228 was second. The class of '36 placed only two men out of 259. The students making better than a 2.75 average were: P. M. WiBett, '85 8.00 J. M. Duff, '85 2.94 H. M. Macdonald, '85 2.94 G. F. Melody, '85 2.93 J. A. Kiernan, '85 2.98 G. H. Finn, '35 2.92 H. W. Bishoff, '36 2\88 W. L. Ferdon, '35 2.88 P. D. Horgan, '85 2.86 J. M. McCarthy, '84 2.78 R. J. Roberts, '35 2.76 H. L. Lohmiller, '34 2.76 W. J. O'Keeffe, '85 2.75 J. A. Kineannon, '34 2.75 PI DELTS START LITERARY WORK ■ ■ :'>, 12 Sophomores Return To Society Entering into its third year in the university, Pi Delta Pi underclass literary honor society, has again resumed activity. With the promotion of last year's sophomores, but twelve members remain in the society. Due to the fact that no freshman marks will be available until the end of the semester, it will not be possible to receive members from that class until the beginning of next year. However, it is intended to admit a few sophomores during the present semester. Due to his high standard of literary scholarship and loyalty to the interests of the society, Gus Donoghue was chosen chairman of the executive board. The two remaining members of the board will be chosen later in the yeaf&tfbs there is no president, these'ftfree men will comprise the governing body of the society. Rhode Astounds Colleagues With Fair Description "Such popularity must be deserved!" This shout greets Jack Rhode, '34, student body secre tary, returning from the World'■, Fair. The trip and $100 was the first prize in a popularity contest conducted by the Sunset merchants. Throughout the first few week- of the popularity contest Rhode ranked around thirty-fifth, and began to slowly climb until a few weeks before contest closing he was third, where he remained until the closing hours when a deluge of Rhode votes made him the winner. Asked how he enjoyed the trip, Rhode replied, "Gee, I had a great time." Rhode went on to describe the fair, giving lavish praise with a profound "Gosh, it was swell!" Rhode denies vehemently that his only votes were feminine, saying coyly, "A few of my other friends voted for me, too." The globe-trotting ex-sports editor then went clam, saying like a true journalist, "I refuse to divulge any more information; if you will hear of this trip and the sights of the Chicago World's Fair, then you must read my articles which will appear in the FOGHORN." FROSH GET NEW U.S.F. HANDBOOK Wiesinger Editor of 1933- 34 College "Bible" The 1933-34 edition of the University of San Francisco Handbook was issued to the incoming freshman class last Saturday after the orientation rally. This publication is this year distinguished by a gold cover with the letters U.S.F. printed in gold. Printed on a fine grade of paper stock and well bound, it is a permanent record of activities of the past and present. The book was printed by the San Francisco Press, whose pressroom is to the rear of the Liberal Arts building. The Handbook was edited by Bernard Wiesinger '34 and Pat Horgan '35 was the associate editor. Comprehensive information embraces the following subjects: The president's greeting to the incoming class; the high lights of U.S.F. history; the rules regarding discipline, attendance, examinations, and student organizations. Under the head of general information is the location of buildings, offices, stores, library, etc. The constitution, by-laws, official calendar and the officials of the A.S.U.S.F. are contained In another section. The section titled "Activities" includes descriptions of the work that is done by the A.S.U.S.F. in athletics, dramatics, forensics, music, and publications. A short history of the clubs, fraternities and honor societies chartered by the student body Is given in the organizations section. The "Dons" chapter includes important traditions, annual awards, the freshman rules, and the names of the members of the sophomore vigilance committee. The last section is devoted to U.S.F. songs and yells, followed by the football schedule. Honor Group Holds Dinner Skull and Sledge, upper division activltiea-rlrtnor society, held iig_ annual dinner in honor of gradu-s atlng members and initiation ceremony for new members at the Hotel Cecil, May %l, 1933. Members who graduated were Louis Ohleyer, Robert Britt, Jack Douglas, Jack Hanley, Oscar Higuera, and Paul McArdle. Pat Horgan, Don McStocker, Leo Murphy, Bob Little, Norman Petersen, Emmett Keefe, Richard Roberts and Richard Murphy were the new members initiated. Also in attendance were the following alumni of Skull and Sledge: John O'Marie, Richard Vaccaro, Joseph Rock, Percy McPartland, Mathew O'Brien, Paul and Thomas Vlautin, Thomas Lundy and Wallace Cameron. Passing Of '32 Retreat Head Shock Fr. Flaherty, S.J., Graduate of St. Ignatius, Dies from Stroke Rev. Thomas J. Flaherty. S.J., former retreat head at El Retiro and recently stationed at the Jesuit house in San Francisco, succumbed to a stroke on June 9, leaving his many friends both in and out of the city stricken with grief at his passing. Stroke Fatal Father Flaherty's illness was a recurrence of the trouble which had him perilously near death in February, 1932. At that time he suffered a partial stroke. He was restored to full use of all his faculties by the splendid attention and skill of Dr. Edmund Mor- risey. However, a repetition of the stroke was almost immediately fatal and the beloved priest was dead less than twenty-four hours after being rushed to St. Mary's Hospital. Father Flaherty was a graduate of St. Ignatius College in the days of the Hayes Street and Van Ness Avenue institution, having received his arts degree in 1905. He had been very successful in his work with the Jesuit fathers and was one of their foremost retreat masters on the coast in the years before his serious illness. Gave *32 Retreat He will be remembered by many in the University of San Francisco for the retreat he delivered to the students at the beginning of the spring semester in 1932. Father Flaherty was buried in the traditional vestments of the priesthood from St. Ignatius Church. Kappa Lambda Sigma Approves Date For Orals Confronted with the problem of assorting and grading the numerous essays submitted by candidates, executives of Kappa Lambda Sigma, upper division literary honor group, late yesterday tentatively selected Sunday evening, September 3, as the date for final oral examinations. As the last test of literary ability, the coming oral examinations are of vital importance in the selection of a limited number of new members. Plans call for a brief reception to be followed by a novel method of hazing by veteran literiteurs. Selection of a new moderator to fill the vacancy left by the departure of Father Raymond T. Feely, S.J., for advanced study at Port Townsend is as yet undecided. The Kappa Lambda Sigma library, urged by Father Feely, is as yet In an embryonic state, with each new member elected to the organization being asked to substantially contribute to this newer section of the University of San Francisco library. Of the large number who received invitations to write the elementary essay during the summer months, only a small and select group will be finally chosen for membership. Approximately one-third of the candidates who submitted essays last Wednesday will ultimately wear the insignia of honor. Wins Award - .- ,, ... " 1 • Jack Hanley '83 Prizes, Degrees Conferred At Commencement One hundred and forty students of the University of San Francisco received degrees at the seventy- fourth annual commencement held at the university athletic stadium on Sunday, May 21, 1933. Following the Mass the graduates gathered on the faculty lawn where their pictures were taken. Marching impressively, the cap and gowned candidates for degrees and the faculty assembled on the platform to the strains of Wagner's Nibelungen March. The address of welcome given by Joseph E. Tinney, A.B., Law '33, was a masterpiece of oratory. Preceding the commencement was the Baccalaureate Mass celebrated in the College Church by- President Rev. William I. Lonergan, S.J. Graduates, faculty, and alumni attended in cap and gown. The sermon was preached by Fr. William Dunne. Special prize awards were given and degrees conferred.

Versatile Dons Follow Varied Pursuits During Summer Period Vacations! Some Dons "toiled not neither did they spin" and some went spinning over the country . . . mostly World Fairward. The workers held occupations as diverse as "hashing" in a restaurant to imitating the mole in a mliiA Irere is what some of the Hill- men did. What did you do? Mickey McStocker: held three jobs (for short times): "hashed" or dealt them off the arm in a Haight Street cafe; second job— unknown; third, may-l-wlpe-your- windshield-please in the employ of an oil company. Don McStocker: just a poor, innocent city boy, was led astray into the country. On a job of pitching hay fell off the hayrick to the embarrassment of his spinal column. Has recovered. Tom O'Toole: last year's chunky frosh president and this year's paddle-demon, worked Camp Mather for board, room and eats. Jack Rhode: illiterate secretary of the student body, popularity- contested to free World's Fair transportation and $100 pocket lining. "Had a 'keen' trip." Bernie McOanii: specialized in janitoring Camp Mather Chick Sales-built houses. Louis Botmale: scholared at the Berkeley summer session. Charley Pearce: ex-editored bis way to the Call-Bulletin.

Tommy Richardson: Cannon- ball Bakered to Chicago in 63 hours, only stopping at service stations and at eating places. Equalled the fastest train times, if the railroad companies are not exaggerating! ANNUAL FROSH-SOPH BRAWL UNIVERSITY FIELD WED. AJ. SOPHS RETREAT AS FROSH ARMY RESCUES MATES Battered First-Year Men Irked Into Fiery Revolt i; The sophs gave it. The frosh took it. But that's only half the story. Because last week, 2 00 freshmen, bruised, battered, and mentally weary of a haggling vigilance committee, took things into their own hands. With stoical smiles they had survived the nightmare of registration week; they had borne the pain and embarrassment of the "hat" purchasing ceremony, and undergone the crowning humiliation of "Lowell- izing". Monday these 200 freshmen scaled the Heights for the opening of the term. A handful of the less intelligent injudiciously sauntered down Fulton Street during a free period. Immediately things began to happen. Dash Unavailing Heralded by blood-thirsty cries, two carsful of sophomores descended on the hardy little band like an all-enveloping tidal wave. Not content to submit without at least an attempt at the longed-for freedom, the frosh left. And they weren't a bit particular; they left for anyplace. But however game was the forlorn dash, It was fruitless. Triumphant, the sophs swept majestically toward Union Square. There, rumors of an avenging frosh rescue party cast a blight over the unrestrained soph glee. They also left—but for Montgomery Street and still accompanied by their woebegone prisoners. Frosh Crushed There followed a period during which traffic direction duties were taken over by the ludicrous and sometimes awesome frosh, made so by the rather successful soph attempts at the art of stage makeup. All of these activities were punctuated by mild flare-ups of the now crushed frosh spirits. Then, like crusaders of old, an army of deliverance, pushing forward with silent intentness, precipitately changed the whole complexion of the affair. Green hats appeared everywhere, Confused and disorganized by this symbol of terror, the mighty sophomores were plunged into frantic retreat. Pandemonium. Din. Then placid quietude. The victors, captives in hand, relinquished the field. Although many of the soph tantal- izers had escaped in the melee, freshman leaders looked upon the conflict as a moral victory. This incident last Monday amounted to a declaration of war. Since that time, roving bands of frosh and sophs have engaged in countless skirmishes, local conditions at the scenes of the various clashes being forgotten in the confusion. The star freshman performer from the soph viewpoint was one Gene "Tiny" Cervelli, erstwhile Galilean, and newly elected frosh class representative. Weighing a mere 269 pounds, Cervelli's weight is distributed over only 5 feet 6 inches of height. Consequently the sophs had plenty to work on, and, according to Tiny, they passed up no opportunities. His record thus far in the hazing (this by his own modest admission) is six spring dances, three swims in Stow Lake, and sixteen paddlings. This mark is said to be virtually unapproaehed by the remaining frosh. "But I can take it," Cervelli said yesterday. "Y'see, I'm built that way." BLOCK CLUB MEETS A meeting of the Letter Society has been called by President Keeffe to bo held today in room B3 at 11:45. Arrangements will be made for the running of the Brawl to be held next Wednesday. The presence of nil members of the Block Club and of all eligible candidates is heartily requested. Frosh Welcomed At Orientation In Men's Lounge Over 220 freshmen received their official welcome to the university at orientation exercises held in the men's lounge, Saturday, August 19. Resumes of activities open to frosh, and of the most important campus rules were the high lights of the speeches. Called together by Rev. Hubert Flynn, S.J., the first-year men gathered in the lounge immediately after the English A examination. After introductory remarks by Fr. Flynn, Frank McStocker took over the meeting. Outlining student government methods, McStocker urged the new students to take up at least one of the many extra-curricular activities offered. Head Coach Spud Lewis gave an optimistic report on the football outlook on the Hilltop this year, followed by basketball Coach Wally Cameron. Barney Wiesinger, who took over the editorship of the FOGHORN this term, told the frosh of opportunities on the student weekly staff. Wiesinger relinquished the platform to Bill Ferdon '35, one of the outstanding dramatic performers in the university. Ferdon spoke on the Little Theatre productions. Malcolm McDonald '35 talked on debating, followed by Lewis Levin, who discussed managerial positions. Photo Tariff Creates Furore At Enrollment "Wha's tha' for?" This was the most frequent query propounded to Miss Betty Bailey by students when in registering they were asked for an additional ten cents. The ten cents, as the registrants were told, is to be used to cover the expense of an individual photograph which is to be placed on every student's registration card. Many students, in memory of constant doling out of pennies, persisted in believing that it was a sales tax and destined to enrich the state treasury. Doug Knowles gave apt expression to this sentiment by the sly quirp, "I wish that officials would learn to ride bicycles instead of airplanes." Expressing a different feeling was Jack Kincannon's, "I don't so much mind having my teeth kicked out when I am down, but how can I smile without teeth when the man says, 'Watch the preety birdie'?" Arrangements for the photography were made by Maurice Flynn. A special type moving picture camera used in police work is to be used. Could it be professional jealousy that led Ted Pryor, also a cameraman by profession, to refuse to pay for the picture? He insisted, "I'll take my own picture, and make sure it does me justice." FERDON ELECTED FRESHMAN PREXY Burke and Cervelli Chosen as Representatives Jack Ferdon, former student prexy at St. Ignatius High, was elected president of the freshman class last Wednesday at the initial meeting of that group. Al Holmes was named vice- president while Van Downing, former all-city tackle from Commerce, was selected to hold down the job of secretary. The frosh likewise chose two representatives in Tom Burke and Gene Cervelli. These men will represent the freshman class on the executive committee. Plans for the coming brawl were also formulated during the meeting. Several men were selected as leaders for the frosh in the various events. Over 200 members of the freshman class attended the meeting, which was handled by Bill Dowling, chairman of the Board of Student Control. BLOCK CLUBMEN PLAN PROGRAM FOR CLASS FRAY Battle Leaders Declare Cohorts All Prepared for Traditional Contest Ending the annual hazing period, the annual frosh-soph brawl will be held at University Field next Wednesday, Aug. 30. Coming as the climax to the week's "festivities", the members of both classes have declared themselves eager for the annual fray. Brawl Changes Benefiting from the experience of former brawls, several changes have been made by the Block Club in regard to the various events. Chief among the new rulings is that which prohibits the classes from contesting in a single body against each other. This will hold for all the events with the exception of the push ball contests which will climax the day. In all the remaining events the members of the two classes will be divided into teams ranging from 10 to 25 contestants, according to the event. The winners of the various contests will be decided by an elimination system. Five Events According to the members of the Block Club who have charge of the brawl, five events have been scheduled. These are the sack rush, tug-o'-war, jousting contest, sack race and the push ball contest. The class which wins at least three of the five events will be declared the winner. On the day of the brawl the frosh will assemble in the auditorium and then march to the field where green paint wielded by the competent block men will mark them as members of that particular group. All events will be held within the field itself. Frosh Reception The Saturday evening following the brawl the entire frosh class will be the guests of the sophs at the annual Frosh Reception to be held in the auditorium. All freshmen will be admitted free, while all others will be charged one dollar. Added Courses On Curriculum Four jew courses in government and three in English are scheduled during the year 1933-34 in the College of Liberal Arts. American State and Municipal Government (Gov. 209-210) will have for instructor, Preston Divine, A.B., LL.B., professor in the economics department. Students scheduling Public Administration and Administrative Law (Gov. 211-212) will be Instructed by Lloyd Luckman, A.M., also of the economics curriculum. Both courses are designed for two semesters but the first semester is not a prerequisite to the second. The English department offers a course for one semester, Shakespeare's Tragedies, to be given by James J. Gill, A.M. James Baker Bassett, A.M., LL.B., is to give a consultation course in Advanced Composition. No regular classes are to be held for this course; students are assigned written work to be submitted for grading and will have weekly consultations with the instructor for advice and criticism. '33 Grad Teaches Loyola Medics After receiving highest honors in the graduating class of 1933, having maintained an "A" average throughout four years of college, Harold Harper, '33, is to teach chemistry and biology at Loyola University. Harper was enrolled in the.pre- medical curriculum and plans to teach one or two years before going east to medical school. He is to be an instructor in the pre- medical section at Loyola. Besides attaining high scholastic achievements, Harper was director of the orchestra and band.
