Then (the Irish Dons of San Francisco will !t truly celebrate! Bids have been sold out for a week, option holders have "j'made their bids secure by making payments on them, and the dance ^committee are serenely confident of *the success of their first USF party. Congratulations to the committee for being the first in years to be assured of a complete financial success weeks in advance of their party! * * * MIDTERMS. . . . Reports from the j> office indicate that attendance at the midterm examinations just completed has been the best ever. The strict regulations have prevented cutting 1 for minor excuses or no excuse at all. n Being fined for missing examinations, while not a new procedure, hasn't been very strictly enforced here at J USF for some time, but it seems to be enforced very efficiently at present. 1 The theory at least is good, but when put into effect some don't think it so good. * * * s PRESIDENT'S DAY. . . . For the benefit of new USF students it may be explained that President's Day is J an annual affair held in honor of the President of the University of San Francisco. A holiday is granted to the students who usually take advantage of the vacation to attend the athletic events held at USF field. * * * VARSITY vs. ALUMNI. ... On Wednesday night there will be held at Kezar pavilion two basketball games. The preliminary game will . be played by the juniors and seniors of the University of San Francisco, and the main event will be between the alumni and the varsity cagers, alias "The Brain Trust". All seniors will sell tickets until Wednesday. Admission will be twenty-five cents. * * * Mckinley debate. . . . The three seniors, two juniors, and one Sophomore scheduled to take part in the annual McKinley debate have pronounced themselves ready for the coming Friday night encounter. Competition is always keen at this yearly contest of the forensics giant-killers. In the past four years men interested in stage and dramatic work have carried home the prizes on commencement day. This year we see Ferdon and Fallon in the contest, both interested in stage productions. Looks promising if the past is any criterion. * * * THE SOCIALITE and Spring. . . . As the season Lent draws to a close the social hounds look forward to a busy season. The Fandango tomorrow night, which is always a social success. Next comes the Law-Commerce Formal, sponsored by the evening division. Then the Junior Prom, which is always the swanky- affair. Then probably another Block club dance. Then to top the season comes the Senior ball, exclusive for seniors.

The question to be argued is: Resolved: That this house deplores the spread of dictatorship.

The negative team is composed of Vincent Fallon, '34; William Ferdon, '35, and Patrick Horgan, '35.

The gold medal which is awarded at the graduation exercises to the best speaker of the evening is an added incentive to the contestants. The medal is the gift of Benjamin L. McKinley, '93. Judges Undecided Judges for the contest are not definitely known as yet, but such prominent men as Dr. Edwin A. Lee, superintendent of schools for San Francisco, have been asked to participate. The contestants in this debate were chosen after tryouts held before the Debate Seminar class at 8 o'clock Tuesday morning, February 27. Each candidate presented a three-minute speech of an argumentative nature. The medalist at the contest last year, Rinaldo Sciaroni, '33, will act as chairman for the evening. COLLEGE PLAYERS RESUME ACTIVITY University to Enter One-Act Drama Contest Judicial System Is Lecture Topic Comparing the United States courts to those in the English common law, H. A. Van der Zee spoke on "The Features of the Federal Judicial System" in a lecture to members of Kappa Alpha Phi, and other students. This was the last of the popular Kappa Alpha Phi lectures before the Easter holiday. Three talks have been planned for the month of April. Mr. Van der Zee showed in his lecture the great difficulty the framers of the Constitution had in replacing the inadequate colonial courts. He also outlined the workings of the federal judicial system as it functions today. According to reports from the executive committee, the long-dormant College Players may again resume activities. Sponsored by the Junior Chamber of Commerce of this city, an intercollegiate one-act play contest is to be held in the beginning of April. The USF Players have signified their intention of entering this contest. One-Act Plays As indicated by the title, the contest will consist of a series of one-act plays to be enacted by representative casts from various colleges in California. Prizes are offered for the winning casts. The elimination system will be used to decide the winner. Although definite announcements have not been made, several plays are being considered by the local group. Foremost among these tentative dramas is the third act from "Wings over Europe". Former USF playgoers will remember this as an interesting act of a former Ignatian production. Appropriation The player group received an appropriation from the executive board last week to meet the expenses of entering the contest. Bareilles Handkerchief Once More Flutters Who says they don't come back? Rene Bareilles, Ray Maloney, Wally Cameron, Jay Hale, Bobbie Britt, Lou Ohleyer, Roy Oxsen, Morrisey, Charlie Nussbaum, John O'Marie, Bob Kleckner, and other USF basketball stars of former years return to the wars next Wednesday night when they meet the Don varsity of 1934 in a "grudge" contest at Kezar, beginning at 8:15. In the preliminary affair, the junior class team, winners of the in- terclass tourney, collide with the senior team at 7:00. The juniors are coached by Jack Bradley and Joe Murphy, while the seniors are the "Coachless Wonders". The starting line-up for the Heyday Hillbillies has not been announced, but will probably include Maloney, Britt, Cameron, Kleckner and Bareilles. The great senior team of Kincanon, Chambers, Mohr, Bat- limle and Keeffe will have an opportunity to squelch the proud boasts of their predecessors. Wednesday evening; 15 cents with student cards, and 25c without. One last chance to see the handkerchief of Bareilles flutter down the court. All for a good cause—wiping out a heavy debt of the senior class. Debaters Prepare For Radio Talks Finally "taking to the air", the debaters from USF will meet squads from Saint Mary's college on April 5 and 6. The topics for both debates will be the Pi Kappa Delta question debated this year by all colleges belonging to the National Debating association: "Resolved: That the powers of the president should be increased as a matter of settled policy." The debate on April 5 will be held on the Saint Mary's campus and will be broadcast over station KRE. Bert Shaughnessy and Leo Murphy, both juniors, will defend the negative side of the question. The debate scheduled for April 6 will be held in San Francisco over station KYA. Vincent Fallon of the senior class will defend the affirmative side of the question for the University of San Francisco. Debates were arranged by Debate Manager Bill Dowling. USF Council Y.M.I. Sponsors Debate In a match sponsored by USF Council No. 77, YMI, a debating team from Stanford university will meet a team from USF on Tuesday evening, March 20, at YMI hall. The subject of the debate will be "Resolved: That the powers of the president should be increased as a matter of settled policy." The University of San Francisco will uphold the negative side of the question. The USF Glee club will be present at the debate and will sing several of their popular hits of the past as well as several numbers from "The Merry Gentlemen". There will be no admission charged. WAR MEMORIAL IS SITE FOR FORMAL Eve. Division to Hold Law Commerce Dance April 7 The annual Law-Commerce formal, major social affair of the evening division, will be held at the San Francisco War Memorial on Saturday evening, April 7. Gene Sullivan, president of the night school, made this announcement to the FOGHORN yesterday. Coming after the Freshman Fandango and prior to the annual Junior Prom, the committee decided that this date was an ideal one on the social calendar. The War Memorial, popular site of former Ignatian dances, was also voted the most appropriate place. Seldncr-Jacobsen The Seldner-.Iacobsen orchestra has been selected to supply the music for the night school men. This band was engaged at the Awahnee hotel in Yosemite during the summer and while there made quite an enviable reputation. They have also played at the Hotel Oakland as well as at several college affairs. Bids for the dance will go on sale next week. They may be procured from the night school office. Further details concerning the dance will appear in the next few issues of the FOGHORN. Glee Club Group To Sing Tenebrae It was announced last Wednesday by Jack Moyles, president of the Glee club, that nine members of the organization would participate in the Holy Week services at Saint Ignatius Church, singing the Tenebrae on Holy Thursday evening. The Glee club members who will sing the Tenebrae are Moyles, O'Brien, Pierotti, Murphy, Kilsby, Neuwald, Gaffney, Thornton and Lynch. They will be trained between now and Holy Week by Father J. C. Ward, S.J., faculty moderator of the Glee club. Moyles said, "Those who remember the singing of the members of the Glee club during the Retreat recently made by USF students can appreciate the ability which the club has in singing religious as well as secular music." 'MERRYGENTLEMEN' TICKETS SOLD BY GLEE CLUB GROUP Executive Committee Also Handles Ducats for Big Show SONGS COPYRIGHTED Cast In Midst of Dramatic Rehearsals; J. J. Gill Is Director "The musical direction of the 'Merry Gentlemen' was completed last week and the dramatic rehearsals will be completed within the next two weeks." This was the announcement made by Jack Moyles, leading man in the Glee club show, yesterday. Dramatic Phase Although not as extensive as the musical parts, the dramatic phase of the production has presented some unforeseen problems to the members of the cast and Mr. Gill, the director. At the present time the members and director are pondering whether to submerge the plot and concentrate on the niceties of stage technique or to play up the story. This and similar other minor difficulties will be decided before the next rehearsal. Tickets Distributed Tickets for the "Gentlemen" were distributed last Monday and Tuesday. They may be procured from any member of the Glee club or executive committee. The price is fifty cents for general admission and thirty-five cents with a student body card. Replying to several inquiries, Bob Anino, author of the show's nineteen songs, has stated that none of them was in any way taken from songs already written. He also stated that all of his lyrics have been copyrighted in every detail. USF Campus All of these songs have been woven into the plot which concerns the actions of a group of USF students. The scenes of the play will depict the campus of the Hilltop school. ST.

As a further inducement to students to attend the University of San Francisco night at the St. Francis hotel on Easter Sunday evening, the management of the hotel has announced that it will give special rates to the student body. As has been previously announced, the Glee club will be at the affair, and will present a special floor show that will feature the premier presentation of several numbers from the "Merry Gentlemen".

McKinley. The first question was, "Is McKinley still alive?" After questioning each other to no avail, members of the staff decided that the wisest and most effectual course to follow would be to telephone authorities at the school. After attempting to reach Father Lonergan and Father Whelan on the telephone without any success, the reporter finally got Father Carroll, dean of the law school, on the wire. The question was asked. "Why of course he is still alive," Father Carroll gave a big chuckle, "very much so. Why he even teaches in the law school here at night!" Quietly, and very somberly, the reporter hung up the phone. Activity Groups Planned In Meet Tentative plans for inducing all incoming freshmen of next year's class to enter at least one activity were discussed in the last meeting of the USF executive board. Bernard Wiesinger of the class of '34 suggested that committees be formed to interest the incoming frosh in the various phases of extra-curricular activity. lected at the entrance to the road leading into the club: All machines will be stopped at this entrance. Members of the committee stated that the option system of selling bids has worked out to their fullest expectations. Put into practice for the first time this year, It assured the sale of the entire number of bids. Heche's Music Gordon Heche and his popular band will be the music feature. Although making his first appearance among University of San Francisco socialites he has played for many of the major social affairs on the Stanford campus. Several other coast colleges have also engaged him on numerous occasions. The beautiful California Country club will provide a fitting setting for the dance. This site, with its spacious gardens, has in the past proved an ideal location. Special lighting effects both outside and inside will add color to the scene. As previously announced, the no corsage rule will, as usual, be rigidly enforced. Nobody will be allowed to enter the club "wearing any sort of a corsage. Spanish Theme The theme in keeping with the name, Fandango, will be entirely of a Spanish nature. Programs, entertainment and even the music to some extent will be in keeping with the Spanish tone. Guests of the class of 1937 for the evening will be Father William I. Lonergan, S.J., Mr. and Mrs. Preston Devine, Mr. and Mrs. James Baker Basset, Major and Mrs. Francis Forbes, Mr. Lloyd Luckmann, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Keenan and Mrs. William Ferdon.

Dramatic Phase Although not as extensive as the musical parts, the dramatic phase of the production has presented some unforeseen problems to the members of the cast and Mr. Gill, the director. At the present time the members and director are pondering whether to submerge the plot and concentrate on the niceties of stage technique or to play up the story. This and similar other minor difficulties will be decided before the next rehearsal. Tickets Distributed Tickets for the "Gentlemen" were distributed last Monday and Tuesday. They may be procured from any member of the Glee club or executive committee. The price is fifty cents for general admission and thirty-five cents with a student body card. Replying to several inquiries, Bob Anino, author of the show's nineteen songs, has stated that none of them was in any way taken from songs already written. He also stated that all of his lyrics have been copyrighted in every detail. USF Campus All of these songs have been woven into the plot which concerns the actions of a group of USF students. The scenes of the play will depict the campus of the Hilltop school. ST.

McKinley. The first question was, "Is McKinley still alive?" After questioning each other to no avail, members of the staff decided that the wisest and most effectual course to follow would be to telephone authorities at the school. After attempting to reach Father Lonergan and Father Whelan on the telephone without any success, the reporter finally got Father Carroll, dean of the law school, on the wire. The question was asked. "Why of course he is still alive," Father Carroll gave a big chuckle, "very much so. Why he even teaches in the law school here at night!" Quietly, and very somberly, the reporter hung up the phone.
