ame Extra! ame Extra! VOL. IX—No. 7 SAN FRANCISCO, OCTOBER 13, 1933 FRIDAY By THE EDITOR TIME IN. After a two-week layoff, the USF gridders resume the grid wars. This time against a new opponent—the Oregon State Beavers. For the first time in the history of the two schools, they will meet in an athletic way. Perhaps this may begin a series of traditional encounters between the northern school and the University of San Francisco. We would like to think so. Especially of note is that Ore- gin State is a conference team, one of two which USF meets this year. To win this game and the one to follow with Stanford would give the team the beginning of an enviable record. Oregon will be no set-up. In their scoreless tie with which is rumored to be Gon- zaga's best team in years, Oregon threatened Gonzaga's goal line constantly. * « • TAKEN TO TASK. The "Collegian" of St. Mary's college, Moraga, California, takes us to task for a few caustic remarks (mistaken at Moraga for attempts at humor) which appeared under the signatures of Jack Kincanon, columnist, and Patrick Horgan, sports editor, in a recent FOGHORN. The "Collegian" is right. Our naughty staff members repented at once and promised amendment. One demurred for a while on the plea that he loved the quaint Btyle of the protest evoked by his little misdemeanor (after all, a few lines inspired a complete editorial of protest) . . . the writer said it reminded him of a sophomore assignment he once did in the "Letters of Junius". But he was soon subdued by a majority vote of ths house. Sorry that we offended your impeccable taste, St. Mary's. * * » CREDIT GIVEN. The FOGHORN repeats. Again a six-page paper with a green sports sheet has been produced by a hardworking staff. Too much credit cannot be given to Stan Kearney, business manager, whose delight It Is to persuade reluctant business men to advertise. With the influx of more and more advertising matter, it is evident that it was a far-sighted move on the part of the publications council in increasing the number of column widths to eight. Now even with that added space a four-page paper is cramped. * • * EXAMINATIONS. Is too much emphasis placed upon examinations? Some have made that claim in their moments of chagrin. But on the other hand, a task is much simpler when there Is a definite goal in sight. In this way an examination, with a definite material to be covered, provides a proximate end which aids the memory process of the student. But an examination does succeed its predecessor in short order. Second one already! » * « DRAMATICS DISCUSSED. Las/ week the Philhistorian Debating society, more commonly known as debate seminar, discussed the great drama mystery. Consensus of opinion showed that practically all were in doubt as to the future of dramatics and that the students want the College Players to produce a number of plays each semester as in the past. Talks emphasized the integral part that dramatics has always played In collegiate life. They asked, "Would logic classes be abolished?" * * • QUOTES AND MISQUOTES. Interviews of students of bay colleges brought before the people of the community the important fact that beneath the mask of Ughtheartedness, college men are essentially serious. Approaching the student personally will do much to dispel the false impression that popular collegiate humor magazines have fostered. This in spite of the fact that the editor claims he was misquoted In one particular at least. SHORT STORY COMPETITION IS SPONSORED BY FOGHORN B 3n m?mnriam The faculty and students of the University of San Francisco extend deepest sympathy to Joseph Dm kin. '35, on the death of his mother. FICTION CONTEST FOR THREE PRIZES NEWSPAPER OFFER Nov. 24, Deadline; Medal, Pen and Book to Be Awards STAFF NOT ELIGIBLE Fiction Field Substituted For Essay; Judges Announced Prizes for student-written short stories will be given in a FOG- HORN-sponsored contest, the editor announced today. Lack of a suitable essay topic for the FOGHORN essay contest, an annual competition sponsored by the college paper, was the reason given for choosing the short story field.

SPANISH CLUBMEN HAVE 'HOT' DINNER Guests Amuse Students With Experiences After polishing off a delicious seven-course dinner which consisted entirely of Spanish dishes, those students who attended the repast decided to form a club. The dinner was a huge success, due to the untiring efforts of Professors Aurrecoechea, Brill and Forbes and the committee appointed from the different Spanish classes for that purpose. The banquet took place at a small restaurant at Broadway and Stockton streets, which specializes in foreign cooked meals. The guest speakers of the evening were Rev. Albert Whelan, S.J., and Rev. Cyril Cavanaugh, S.J. Both speakers conversed in the Spanish tongue and lent a reality to the atmosphere with amusing stories of their experiences in Spain.

This feature will continue throughout the semester and will be written by Robert Lanctot, '37. The editorial staff in favoring this new addition believed that such a series of reviews would partially supply a discrepancy which was felt upon the temporary abandonment of the year book. Lanctot attracted favorable attention of the editors upon voluntary submission of well-written articles dealing with activities in the freshman class. He was given this assignment as well within his capabilities. STAGE CREW TO SIGN RECRUITS Vacancies to Be Filled By Stage Manager Preparing for the Glee club show, "Television", Norman Petersen, stage manager of the Little Theatre, will assign various stage crew posts today. Petersen has announced that all university men who desire to work on the stage may do so by signing up with him or with any other men who have been members of the stage crew for the past year. The stage crew manages all Little Theatre presentations whether those of the college players or of the Glee club, or the forensics societies. "Working on the stage crew of the University of San Francisco gives an excellent opportunity to any person who is interested In the study of technical aspects of stagecraft," said Petersen when asked of the advantages of, working on the stage. The work of the stage crew is supervised by the Association of the Arch and Arc, honorary stage society. S.C.'Owl'Pleases By Fine Articles The mailman brought a pleasant surprise to the office of the FOGHORN the other day in the shape of a literary supplement from the University of Santa Clara, The Owl, a monthly magazine edited by William Patz. Among excellent pieces are: "The Grand Old Man of Drama", by James McVeigh, '34—a masterful tribute to Clay Meredith Greene, author of the famous Santa Clara passion play—and "Roosevelt, the Brains of the Brain Trust", by Cornelius Deeney, S.J., Ph.D. College Utopia Seen In Course With No Classes A collegiate Utopia, epitomized by a course without classes, and credits toward a diploma without the assistance of mailmen, has been conducted during the past seven weeks by Prof. James Baker Bassett of the department of English. The course, advanced composition, consists in the weekly writing of an essay or short story or poem to be critically corrected and annotated by the Instructor. The composition is then returned, and a private discussion of the work arranged for a convenient time during the week. Although no classes are convened, actual time for outside preparation equals and in many instances surpasses the total convening time for classes held in more conventional fashion during the week. Three units are given for the course, which, having proved highly popular, is to be instituted as a part of the regular curriculum. FINANCE EDITOR MON. SPEAKER ON INFLATION TOPIC Wakefield to Show Manner Of Controlling New Plan STUDENTS INVITED K.A.P. Sponsors Second Of Series of Talks By Guests Carl C. Wakefield, financial editor of the S. F. Examiner, will speak on the subject, "Inflation and Gold Problems", in Room D2 at noon Mond ay . This talk is to be one of a series sponsored by Kappa Alpha Phi, lower division economics society. Chos en by the committee because o £ daily contact with Carl C. Wakefield rapidly changing economic conditions, the speaker will outline the forms which inflation could assume. Various methods of inflation have been proposed and Wakefield will give the advantages and disadvantages of each. Means by which the government can control the price of the dollar under such a program will be shown. Edited "Daily Cal." Editing of financial news has been Wakefield's work the majority of the time since he graduated from California. While at California he was editor of the student daily newspaper. John Horgan, president of the society, secured the speaker and will introduce Wakefield to an audience which will include members of Kappa Alpha Phi, Tau Delta Beta, and all other interested students. Second Speaker Wakefield is the second speaker that Kappa Alpha Phi has invited to speak on economic topics this semester. City Attorney John O'Toole spoke recently on the "Constitutionality of the Recovery Act". Orchestra Signup Draws 40 Students In preparation for appearances at various college functions later in the year, the first signup of the USF orchestra was held last Tuesday. Over 40 men reported. Steve Bovo, student band leader, will be in charge of the musicians this year, succeeding Harold Harper. Tryouts will be held to determine the personnel, according to Bovo. A final group of 15 or 20 men will comprise the organization. They will play at college plays and the most important of the oratorical events. Grey Hairs Bar Law Prexy From St. Mary's Game With the strict supervision of Kezar stadium gates and the USF rooting section, it is becoming necessary to have a lawyer's knowledge and persuasive skill in order to see football games. At least this was the experience of James Dele- hanty, prematurely grey-haired president of the sophomore law class, at the St. Mary's-USF game two weeks ago. Delehanty presented his student body card at the gate, but a couple of St. Mary's spotters gave one glance at the greyed locks and refused admission, claiming an attempt at fraudulent impersonation. Suspicion was only dispelled by approximately twenty minutes of legalistic argumentation. In his attempt to gain a seat in the rooting section, his intention was almost frustrated by a vigilant member of the games committee who was also deceived by the silver threads. Quick wit and a ready tongue were all that saved the law student from being ousted. INFORMAL THEME FOR BLOCK DANCE Traditional Affair Is to Be Held in Auditorium The USF Letter society, following the setting of the dance date on Saturday night, November 4, has been actively following the lead of its active president, Emmet Keeffe, in making further arrangements for the occasion. The dance will be held in the college auditorium as is customary with affairs of this nature. Preceding years have established the Block club dance as the outstanding campus affair of the fall semester. The mode has been changed from sport to informal, which, nevertheless, does not alter the fact that it is an honorary dance for the members of the football team. As the most distinctive feature that has marked the Block club dances, the price for bids will be the most reasonable obtainable, eliminating the necessity of "hotel prestige", and will be on sale this week at $1.00 per couple. Gleemen Bark For Dinner With K.C/s "All put away"—in their tuxedos, the USF Glee club dined and entertained at fourth degree Knights of Columbus banquet at the Fairmont hotel. The event was in commemoration of the 441st anniversary of the discovery of America. Thirty members attended and said they did not mind barking for their dinner. Former Trackman Registers At USF John Val Pollack scintillated on the track for the Olympic club and has registered as pre-med student at the university—-but, unfortunately, he will not wear the spiked shoes for USF. Four years of previous competition at Washington and Jefferson university bring him under the ineligibility rule. Pollack is taking special courses prior to entering the University of California medical school. USF TRIES COMEBACK IN OREGON GAME SAT, -a GLEE CLUB TO BE ORPHEUM CHORUS WITH RUBE WOLF Cal Pearce and Musicians Attend Glee Club Rehearsal MEDLEY TO BE SUNG Songsters to Be Featured With Football Picture "Saturday's Millions" "And next," says Rube Wolf, "we have with us the famous University of San Francisco Glee club." "Saturday's Millions", with which the Glee club shares the Orpheum bill, the timely college comedy-drama which heads the screen bill at the Orpheum shows a most exciting football game and a very realistic one, too. Ernie Nevers, Erny Pinckert and other All-American football stars are the players in this gridiron battle. The picture tells a story of unusual dramatic interest. In the romantic portions of the story, Robert Young, Leila Hyams, Mary Carlisle, Johnny Mack Brown and Lucille Lund play important roles. The Glee club, adding another program to their already well filled schedule, have accepted an engagement at the Orpheum theatre for a run of one week starting today. The songsters are on the program with Rube Wolf and Fan- chon and Marco's review. They will render several numbers, among which will be the "medley" for which they are so well known. They are to be featured along with the picture "Saturday's Millions", a football picture which has just come direct from a long run in New York and Hollywood. Last Tuesday, Mr. Wolf, after eating a hearty lunch in the college "cafe" with Cal Pearce and several of his musicians, appeared in the Francesca room to hold a rehearsal with the Glee club members. The object of his visit was to select appropriate songs and to get the timing of the music for the show performance. After hearing the boys sing, the attitude of doubt, with which he had entered the rehearsal room, vanished and a broad grin spread from ear to ear. "That's a lot better than I expected, fellows," said Rube. "If you do that well at the show we can't help packing the house." Seniors Defenders Of Ethics Theses In preparation for public disputations on ethical subjects, Rev. Cyril Cavanaugh's ethics class has begun practice tilts in order to sharpen the wits of those who are to participate in the circles to be held later in the year. Last Tuesday, Alfred Firpo and Jack Dunnigan, seniors, each defended a thesis against objections raised by classmates. Group's Review Shows T. D. B. High In Standards Upper division economics students have an opportunity to gain greater knowledge of their studies through Tau Delta Beta. This society was founded in 1930 for the stated purpose of stimulating interest in commercial, financial and allied subjects, and to promote fellowship among the members. Only upper division students of the school of^business administration are eligible to join the society. Those aspiring to membership must have maintained an average grade of B in their studies; in consideration of grades emphasis is placed on economics courses. Nominees must then submit a thesis on an economics subject, selected by the society. The thesis is subject to approval by the members of the organization. By ROBERT LANCTOT, '37 John Vlnay heads Tau Delta Beta in the office of president. He is ably assisted by Richard Groth- man, who holds the office of vice- president, and Thomas McGulre, who is both secretary and treasurer. Professor Victor C. Sether is moderator. Professors Henry Strickroth and W. J. Mountain of the economics department are honorary members of the society. Informal meetings are held biweekly in the club room on the top floor. Under the guidance of the officers, Edward Ahern, Henry Glanzman, Joseph Chambers, Norman Petersen, Joseph Crosson, Howard Kilbride, Thomas Hally, Edward McGuire and Mervyn Johnson gather to discuss current economics topics. Information Furnished In addition to the work that is accomplished at these meetings, the society attempts to keep the school informed on economics subjects of importance by a column in the FOGHORN. The column, "Economic Sidelights", is conducted by Norman Petersen. Tau Delta Beta's informal meetings are supplemented each year by four formal meetings, which are held at the Hotel Cecil. Prominent persons from the financial and commercial world are guest speakers of the society at these gatherings. One formal meeting is set aside each year for the election of officers. H Comedian Rube Wolf, popular orchestra leader and stage funster, who will appear on the same program with the USF Glee club opening at the Orpheum theater tonight. ILLS. GATHERS FOR BOOK CHAT TOPIC Discussion of Four Novels Is Focus for Evening Literary bohemia will invade the portals of the Liberal Arts building, University of San Francisco, as Kappa Lambda Sigma, upper division literary honor society, gathers for an evening of book chat in the Francesca room Sunday evening. Precedent for the departure from the K.L.S. custom of having each meeting in the form of a dinner was set last semester. It was felt that it was a needless expenditure. The first meet of this type was a success with only light refreshments served. Subjects of interest have been chosen as the focal point of Sunday's gathering. Four novels— "Anthony Adverse", "As the Earth Turns", "Magnificent Obsession" and "Forgive Us Our Trespasses" —wiU be discussed. Those members of the society initiated following the formal dinner four weeks ago have given special study to these recent books. John Parker, secretary of the society, has announced that aside from the regular program of critical book reviews there will be a short business meeting. Among other business is the actualizing of a special section of the library which K.L.S. will furnish with modern works. Suggestions for a guest speaker will be in order, as Frank Colligan, M.A., recently appointed moderator, hopes to continue the plan of obtaining prominent critics and authors to talk from the auditorium platform. Bernard Wiesinger will preside. Santa Clara To Beat Our George Says Salatino It may be so, we don't know, but the FOGHORN gives this story concerning Joe Salatino, quarterback of Santa Clara's grid squad, as Ernie Smith, radio announcer, gave it over the air lanes last Monday night. Joe, it seems, was gazing out a class room window during a lecture in which the name of the first president of the United States was mentioned. When asked for his opinion, he said: "I think Washington has a swell ball club but I think we can take them." DONS PREPARED FOR ATTACK OF NORTHERN HORDE Heavy Beavers Arrive For Kezar Fray; Stiner Sees Victory OFFENSE KEYNOTE Lewis Stresses Yard-Gaining Plays in Final Practice Drive Swept on the hopeful wave of an undefeated season, Lon Stiner'* Northern Horde, otherwise known as the Oregon State Beavers, will invade Kezar stadium tomorrow afternoon in an attempt to unhorse the much-unhorsed San Francisco Don. In two contests to date, the Dons have failed to register a victory. But a comeback against the Beavers is their goal at the present moment. The S.F. eleven, now free from injuries which have plagued it for the past three weeks, has a splendid chance to prove itself a power in major competition. The game Saturday will begin a tradition for the Dona, who are picked by many expert* to turn aside the challenge of the north. Lewis Speaks Commenting on the coming contest, Coach Lewis said: "I expect our offense to really start clicking for the first time. We have the backs and if our linemen block with normal efficiency, we should go places." V. Offense has been the keynote of the last two weeks of practice. Many changes have been made by Lewis to bring into play the maximum attacking strength of the squad. New Changes Ken Harper, former end, now finds himself at left half. Louie Davidson, erstwhile halfback, has taken over the duties of field general. Together with Roy Burkhead at full and Eddie Flynn at right half, the aforementioned men form the second-string backfield. This unit will probably enter the game intact and is expected to do big things. In this latest shuffle, many well- known names have been lost to view. But veterans such as the (Continued on page 4) Full information regarding rates, schedule of publication, mechanical requirements, etc., may be had by calling

The dance will be held in the college auditorium as is customary with affairs of this nature. Preceding years have established the Block club dance as the outstanding campus affair of the fall semester. The mode has been changed from sport to informal, which, nevertheless, does not alter the fact that it is an honorary dance for the members of the football team. As the most distinctive feature that has marked the Block club dances, the price for bids will be the most reasonable obtainable, eliminating the necessity of "hotel prestige", and will be on sale this week at $1.00 per couple. Gleemen Bark For Dinner With K.C/s "All put away"—in their tuxedos, the USF Glee club dined and entertained at fourth degree Knights of Columbus banquet at the Fairmont hotel. The event was in commemoration of the 441st anniversary of the discovery of America. Thirty members attended and said they did not mind barking for their dinner. Former Trackman Registers At USF John Val Pollack scintillated on the track for the Olympic club and has registered as pre-med student at the university—-but, unfortunately, he will not wear the spiked shoes for USF. Four years of previous competition at Washington and Jefferson university bring him under the ineligibility rule. Pollack is taking special courses prior to entering the University of California medical school. USF TRIES COMEBACK IN OREGON GAME SAT, -a GLEE CLUB TO BE ORPHEUM CHORUS WITH RUBE WOLF Cal Pearce and Musicians Attend Glee Club Rehearsal MEDLEY TO BE SUNG Songsters to Be Featured With Football Picture "Saturday's Millions" "And next," says Rube Wolf, "we have with us the famous University of San Francisco Glee club." "Saturday's Millions", with which the Glee club shares the Orpheum bill, the timely college comedy-drama which heads the screen bill at the Orpheum shows a most exciting football game and a very realistic one, too. Ernie Nevers, Erny Pinckert and other All-American football stars are the players in this gridiron battle. The picture tells a story of unusual dramatic interest. In the romantic portions of the story, Robert Young, Leila Hyams, Mary Carlisle, Johnny Mack Brown and Lucille Lund play important roles. The Glee club, adding another program to their already well filled schedule, have accepted an engagement at the Orpheum theatre for a run of one week starting today. The songsters are on the program with Rube Wolf and Fan- chon and Marco's review. They will render several numbers, among which will be the "medley" for which they are so well known. They are to be featured along with the picture "Saturday's Millions", a football picture which has just come direct from a long run in New York and Hollywood. Last Tuesday, Mr. Wolf, after eating a hearty lunch in the college "cafe" with Cal Pearce and several of his musicians, appeared in the Francesca room to hold a rehearsal with the Glee club members. The object of his visit was to select appropriate songs and to get the timing of the music for the show performance. After hearing the boys sing, the attitude of doubt, with which he had entered the rehearsal room, vanished and a broad grin spread from ear to ear. "That's a lot better than I expected, fellows," said Rube. "If you do that well at the show we can't help packing the house." Seniors Defenders Of Ethics Theses In preparation for public disputations on ethical subjects, Rev. Cyril Cavanaugh's ethics class has begun practice tilts in order to sharpen the wits of those who are to participate in the circles to be held later in the year. Last Tuesday, Alfred Firpo and Jack Dunnigan, seniors, each defended a thesis against objections raised by classmates. Group's Review Shows T. D. B.

GATHERS FOR BOOK CHAT TOPIC Discussion of Four Novels Is Focus for Evening Literary bohemia will invade the portals of the Liberal Arts building, University of San Francisco, as Kappa Lambda Sigma, upper division literary honor society, gathers for an evening of book chat in the Francesca room Sunday evening. Precedent for the departure from the K.L.S. custom of having each meeting in the form of a dinner was set last semester. It was felt that it was a needless expenditure. The first meet of this type was a success with only light refreshments served. Subjects of interest have been chosen as the focal point of Sunday's gathering. Four novels— "Anthony Adverse", "As the Earth Turns", "Magnificent Obsession" and "Forgive Us Our Trespasses" —wiU be discussed. Those members of the society initiated following the formal dinner four weeks ago have given special study to these recent books. John Parker, secretary of the society, has announced that aside from the regular program of critical book reviews there will be a short business meeting. Among other business is the actualizing of a special section of the library which K.L.S. will furnish with modern works. Suggestions for a guest speaker will be in order, as Frank Colligan, M.A., recently appointed moderator, hopes to continue the plan of obtaining prominent critics and authors to talk from the auditorium platform. Bernard Wiesinger will preside. Santa Clara To Beat Our George Says Salatino It may be so, we don't know, but the FOGHORN gives this story concerning Joe Salatino, quarterback of Santa Clara's grid squad, as Ernie Smith, radio announcer, gave it over the air lanes last Monday night. Joe, it seems, was gazing out a class room window during a lecture in which the name of the first president of the United States was mentioned. When asked for his opinion, he said: "I think Washington has a swell ball club but I think we can take them." DONS PREPARED FOR ATTACK OF NORTHERN HORDE Heavy Beavers Arrive For Kezar Fray; Stiner Sees Victory OFFENSE KEYNOTE Lewis Stresses Yard-Gaining Plays in Final Practice Drive Swept on the hopeful wave of an undefeated season, Lon Stiner'* Northern Horde, otherwise known as the Oregon State Beavers, will invade Kezar stadium tomorrow afternoon in an attempt to unhorse the much-unhorsed San Francisco Don. In two contests to date, the Dons have failed to register a victory. But a comeback against the Beavers is their goal at the present moment. The S.F. eleven, now free from injuries which have plagued it for the past three weeks, has a splendid chance to prove itself a power in major competition. The game Saturday will begin a tradition for the Dona, who are picked by many expert* to turn aside the challenge of the north. Lewis Speaks Commenting on the coming contest, Coach Lewis said: "I expect our offense to really start clicking for the first time. We have the backs and if our linemen block with normal efficiency, we should go places." V. Offense has been the keynote of the last two weeks of practice. Many changes have been made by Lewis to bring into play the maximum attacking strength of the squad. New Changes Ken Harper, former end, now finds himself at left half. Louie Davidson, erstwhile halfback, has taken over the duties of field general. Together with Roy Burkhead at full and Eddie Flynn at right half, the aforementioned men form the second-string backfield. This unit will probably enter the game intact and is expected to do big things. In this latest shuffle, many well- known names have been lost to view. But veterans such as the (Continued on page 4) Full information regarding rates, schedule of publication, mechanical requirements, etc., may be had by calling |
