Lighting and Decorations
To Give Holiday
Atmosphere
'Twas the night before Christmas (several nights before Christmas). The hour was approaching
midnight and the spirit of Christmas was strong in the hearts of
all present. It was the Christmas
Formal of 1932.
Tinsel Glittered
The orchestra behind its screen
of glimmering tinsel struck up the
band! Jingle Bells was the result.
Jingle Bells! How the Dons enjoyed the strains of that lilting
tune!   Slowly at first and softly.
One heard the sleigh approaching through the cold, clear, crisp
air of the holiday season. Then as
the sleighs approached the sleigh
bells grew louder and louder and
sounded faster and faster.
The happy throng in the school
auditorium whirled through the
gay moments of that dance and
when it was over demanded a
repetition. Three times the orchestra played that number before the insistent merrymakers
would allow them to rest.
Mistletoe
And the dancer who couldn't resist the mistletoe in the middle of
the dance floor and^he advantage
offered by the soft lights.
And the gentleman who was
caught fixing his garter in the exit
doorway by the man in the balcony with the spotlight. What a
time everybody had!
And this year it is to be even
more enjoyable. The committee
made up of the executive committee has already put the invitations
for this wonderful evening of entertainment on sale for the never-
before-equaled low price of only
$1.50.
The orchestra has as yet not
been chosen but the committee
promises the final choice will be a
pleasing one to the guests of the
University of  San Francisco.
The decorations and lighting effects will be under the supervision of Norman Petersen, who so
ably aided in the decorations of
last year.
Bids may be purchased from
class presidents and representatives.

Short Stories Due Today As
Foghorn Prize Contest Ends
"All short stories must be handed in at the main office on and
not before November 24, 1933."

in the FOGHORN among the rules
which were to be followed by
those entering the FOGHORN
short story contest.
Today is the day of days for
the would-be prize winners.  All
contestants   must    enter    their
stories today in the main office
or   they   will   not   be  accepted.
This   deadline   was   necessarily
placed among the rules to insure
fairness to all the contestants.
Replace Essays
This contest,  sponsored by the
FOGHORN, is the first of its kind
to appear on the campus for over
a year.  In the past it has teen the
practice   for   the   FOGHORN   to

Rowell Talk On
NRA Postponed
Kappa Alpha Phi regrets the
postponement of Chester Row-
ell's talk on "The NRA Outlook", which was scheduled for
presentation on Monday, November 2 0. This postponement
was due to the fact that Mr.
Rowell was unavoidably detained out of town and was unable to communicate with the
society in time to notify the
students.
However,   this   same   talk
will be presented within the
next few days.   Kappa Alpha
Phi   urges   all   the   students
who   were   disappointed   on
Monday to watch the bulletin board for the exact date.
The  society wishes  all  students  to  realize  that this  unfortunate   occurrence   was   the
fault of no one, but that it was
the    result    of    circumstances
which were beyond the control
of either Mr. Rowell or K.A.P.
executives.

Room Bl
RESULTS EXPECTED
A signup of "Student Speakers"
will be held today in room Bl at

was organized with the purpose of
giving USF men an opportunity to
train themselves to speak on their
specialties.
All Departments
It is expected that the committee is to draw up a tentative list
of speakers and subjects at today's
meeting. Every department of the
university is to be represented
with one or more speaker if the
plan receives the cooperation from
these departments.

A GREATER USF  :-:  :-:  IS ARTIST'S VISION
Like the Phoenix rising from the ashes of old,
a greater University of San Francisco will rise from
the dust of the old Masonic cemetery to take the
shape of the dream of a Catholic center of learning as portrayed in the above picture.
This photo, taken from Lone Mountain before
the present San Francisco College for Women was
erected, shows the buildings of the University of
San Francisco as they stand today with the artist's
idea of how this great project will look.
Side-Winding
Snake Scares
Salient Padre
(Special to the FOGHORN by
Catholic Indian Bureau Feature
Service.)
When one has a flat tire on a
lonely desert road in the stillness
of the night—that's bad. But if
while changing tires one Is beset
by a side-winder rattlesnake—
that's worse.
Such was the experience of Rev.
Bonaventure Oblasser, O.F.M.,
who was visiting scattered Papago
Indian homes of his mission.
Driven off by shouts, threats,
and gesticulations, the snake
moved off in its "side-winder"
manner.
Upon relating this story to a
Papago, "Will Rogers", the Indian
replied: "He knew you were a
padre and wanted to go to confession. He had probably just
killed some one."
Palace Hotel Sets
Don-Bronco Night
Another evening of gala entertainment is promised the University of San Francisco students by
the Palace Hotel with its announcement that a special night
will be held in conjunction with
Santa Clara students following the
Don-Bronco contest at Kezar December 3.

evening commerce division of San
Francisco University gathered in
their semi-annual dinner last

Fifteen Acres of Cemetery
Will Be Deeded to
University
Feud Spirit High As
Juniors Defy Seniors
In Monday Grid Test
Tou Can't Win'
Is Game Motto
Latent talent on the junior
and senior teams has been discovered during this past week
of intensive practice.
Senior Coach "Mickey" McStocker has discovered an "all
end"—James Martin Maclnnis.
"I have," said McStocker,
"eight men so fast I would like
to play only eight; others
would get their corns stepped
on."
Touchdown Play
"We expect little trouble and
we have decided to win the
game on the second play, which
will undoubtedly be a touchdown play," said McStocker.
Bob "Slipper" Little, coach
of the junior squad, said: "We
will use a three-unit backfield
consisting of speed, power and
show. The seniors haven't a
chance against our younger,
more peppy non-rheumatic boys
who are going out on that field
to play for all they're worth
and win for '35."
Little went on to say: "We
are prepared to stop that "little" second touchdown play
using neither the Warner nor,
the Notre Dame system. If the
varsity couldn't learn the Warner system in two years, how
do you expect my men to learn
it  in  two  weeks?"
Deception Stressed
As a parting shot to the FOGHORN reporter, McStocker
said: "Deception will be
stressed by the seniors. Inflations, deflations, and elevations
will be used by my men."
When the final arrangements
for the Masonic cemetery deed
transfer will have been complete
before the end of the year, the
plan and hope of the USF board
of trustees for a "Greater University of San Francisco" will be partially realized.
"The University of San Francisco is almost certain to receive
the deed of the lands adjoining
the present university grounds
before   the   first  of   the year,"
said President Rev. William I.
Lonergan, S.J., last Tuesday.
This   was   in   correction   of   a
statement  in   a   downtown  newspaper.  The exact terms of the sale
have not been decided upon by the
trustees.
Land totaling fifteen acres, to
the south of an imaginary projection of Golden Gate avenue,
will be transferred to the university   outright   upon   completion of the sale.
An option to the remainder of
the cemetery, thirteen acres, will
be  given to  the  university  upon
completion of the sale.
The funds for this purchase
were raided in 1930 by the San
Francisco Development association
drive with the slogan, "Invest in
Youth".
Before absolute possession of
the land can be obtained it is necessary that the Cemetery association open and remove the bodies
from the graves. Some time will
be required to accomplish the removals.
The Cemetery association now
owns twenty-eight acres. When
the purchase is made and when
the option is taken up the university will be in possession of
the whole property now bounded by Turk street, Masonic avenue, Fulton street, and Parker
avenue, with the exception of
the block on Fulton street near
Masonic avenue, which is owned
by private individuals.
Kappa Alpha Phi Newest Society Aims For Youth And Progress
Youth and progress are charac
teristic of Kappa Alpha Phi, the
lower division economics honor society. Although founded only a
year ago this month, Kappa Alpha
Phi has become probably the most
active of all the university societies.
Mayor Rossi, John J. O'Toole,
Gerald O'Gara, Prof. Diebels, Carl
G. Wakefield, Arthur M. Brown
and Chester Rowell are prominent
San Franciscans who have been
presented to the student body under the auspices of the society.
These lectures by prominent
speakers are given monthly. Topics discussed are limited to current
and popular interest. All are, of
course,   invited   to   the   lectures,
Group   Advances   Rapidly
Under Leadership
of Horgan
which  are  held  during  the noon
hour in room D-2.
Kappa Alpha Phi has performed
a great service by the purchase of
a number of typewriters and calculating machines, which have
been placed at the disposal of the
members of the accounting department.
Because of its service to the
university, the society claims to
be the most active group of the
institution. Progress and spirit
are the watchwords and keynote
of all its activities. While other
groups may be as progressive,
none are of such great service
to the student body in general.
The officers of Kappa Alpha Phi
are: John Horgan, president; Joe
Margucci, vice-president, and Edward McGuire, secretary-treasurer.
Prof. Henry J. Strickroth of the
economics department acts as
moderator.
When not presenting a prominent San Franciscan, Reno Conti,
Bill Donovan, Edmond Cassou,
Martin Morley, Rudy Rauh, Walter
Swanson, Paul Thompson, Willis
Parker, Henry Rooney, Bob Grafe,
Emmett Ward, Roscoe Shaw and
Rinaldo Guinasso hold a business
meeting under the direction of
their officers. At these twice-
monthly meetings some member

'34 Men
VOW VENGEANCE
Thursday night two teams from
the varsity forensic squad debated
representatives of Stanford university on the question, Resolved:
that Communism is a greater men-
nace to the United States than
Despotism.
In the University Little Theatre
Vincent Fallon, Doug Knowles
and James Maclnnis met one Stanford men's team. On the Stanford
campus Vin Fallon, Pat Horgan
and Bill Ferdon debated.
The topic proved to be an interesting one not only because of
the current interest in the question, but also because of the
unique manner of wording the
question. No decisions were rendered.
Heavy Practice Conditions
McStocker-Little
Coached Squads
Only three more days to wait!
These are the six words uppermost in the minds of every undergraduate, as the senior class
awoke this morning to find that
the Languorous Lilies of the junior class had desecrated the
seniors' dearly prized sepulcher in
the near-by cemetery with the
hated numerals of '35.
As students attending eight
o'clock classes rubbed their eyes
and squinted out cemeteryward
windows, this was the first sight
that greeted them. The marble
rostrum of the sepulcher was
completely smeared with green
paint in the lettering '35!
The seniors have vowed that
this affront shall not pass unavenged.
Want Scrimmage
Coaches Francis B. McStocker
and Robert E. Little of the respective senior and junior squads, yesterday substituted light workouts
in place of the heavy scrimmaging
which has been going on all week,
and the men growled. "We want
scrimmage!" they shouted.
Coaches Spud Lewis and Dallas
Marvil withdrew in discretion and
refused to allow these madmen to
be pitted against the USF varsity.
"We must be careful to avoid all
injuries," affirmed Dallas Marvil
with a firm toss of his handsome
head.
So, the time: 2:00 p.m. Monday, November 27. The place: USF
field at Turk and Parker. The
game: '34 vs. '35 in a reincarnation of the most thrilling brawl
ever held under USF auspices.
And the probahle line-ups and

And, as an afterthought, let it

senior team—Harley, Moore, Wiesinger, Rhode, and Hay—were
teammates on the freshman wonder team of 1930, which was

and Sacramento Junior college, in
what stands as the highest score
ever run up against a USF team
in the annals of modern football.
Boxers and Collie Players
On S. C. Game Night Rally
Entertainment for the Santa
Clara game night rally to be held
Friday, November 3 0, in College hall will include a wide
variety of events to include boxing bouts, vocalists, skits, songs,
yells and pep talks.
Most Complete Possible
Louis Batmale, vice-president,
has scoured the campus for entertainers and speakers and announces that the most complete
rally program possible has been
arranged.
Boxing Coach George Malley
is to pit his gladiators of the
squared circle against members
of the Santa Clara boxing team.
Malley expects his squad to
make a good showing although
many of his aces have left
school. Many who are to join
the team will not be out until
after the grid season.
Collie Players Return
The return of the Collie Players
in an amusing skit is to be an
added attraction. This group, once
hailed as the most popular rally
entertainers of the college, ceased
activity for over a year.
Deb O'Connor of St. Ignatius
high school and a mystery man
who claims magical prowess are
included among other entertainers.
Speakers
Speakers for the rally are to be
Coaches   "Spud"   Lewis,   George
Malley,    Wallace    Cameron    and
Frank Zanazzi.
The band and Glee club quartet are to furnish the musical
entertainment.  Yell Leader Leo
Murphy expects to try out some
of   the   new   fight  songs   which
are being considered.
The USF  "Fight" song having
become     common     property,     a
change is advocated.
Aviation Talk
Hall Wed, 10:50
Captain W. T. Cambell,
holder of the present world's
altitude record for autoglros,
and commander of Love field,
Dallas, Texas, during the war,
will address the student body
at a general meeting on Wednesday, the 29th, at 10:50 a.m.
His subject will be "The Auto-
giro".
Using scale models to illustrate his talk, Capt. Cambell
discusses the evolution of flying
from Greek mythology until the
present day; the theory of
flight; and the theory of auto-
rotation.
This talk has been presented
in many of the leading universities and colleges in the country and has been acclaimed as
most interesting.
