Before you become involved, however, it might be of interest to you to know that the average editor, such as the news, feature, and sports editors, spend approximately twenty hours per week on the FOGHORN, and we mean twenty hours of work. Are you prepared to match this? * * *■ The Nominations Assembly last Friday was in every way a success. It must have been heartening indeed for the candidates to find such enthusiastic response on the part of the student body that jammed the auditorium and overflowed into the halls While these nominations are often dismissed as mere formalities, the truth' is that a great many students, even the apparently disinterested ones will base their" vote on the impressions received during this assembly. The fact is that the average student who goe? to the polls does his best tc vote for the man whom lir believes will make the besf president, and I repeat, this even applies to the apparently disinterested one. * * * For one month the FOGHORN has printed a Kappa Lambda Sigma notice to the effect that there .is a short story contest now underway. Thic contest ends on the fif teenth of May. That is onlv eight davs awav and so far the number of manuscript^ entered has been nil. We find it very difficult to understand why this situation exists. We know that Fr. James J. Lyons S.J., and Fr. John J. Coleman S.J., have given this contest their full supnort and have cooperated to the extent of offering class credit to those students in their creative writing courses who enter. 0*" course there is a'so the in centive of the fifty dollar first prize and two additional prizes of twenty-five dollars each. These prizes should cer tainlv appeal to those writers in English 110b, who theoretically should have little dif- ficuly in capturing all three prizes, if they enter this contest. The Kappa Lambda Sigma is now in the strange position of begging to give away a total of one hundred dollars. The fie'd is wide oper Dons. Start writing! !

Smetana Wves IRC Near toast Geopol. Views Mr. Alexander Smetana of the political science department was ?uest speaker at last Monday's jpecial meeting of the International Relatons Club. His talk centered around the geopolitical aspects of the Near East and its profound effect on Soviet-American relations. AXIOM STANDS The Near East was once named the "heartland" of tiie world by the famous geopolitician McKin- der. "His axiom still stands," said Mr. Smetana, "Whoever controls the East will control the leartland of the world, and who- 3ver controls the heartland controls the world." Jack Parina announced that tickets will go on sale today in the lobby at the box office. Only five hundred can be sold per night, he stated, adding that the best way to assure yourself of a ;eat was by getting your tickets now. Casting Flash: Jules Levaggi, six-foot novice who attended St. Ignatius High School before coming to us, has won the role of Lord Erskine. He is one of the most promising additions back- siage. ASIDES Meet the Players: In the wings, the between-scenes shenanigans of Bill Gargan, who makes like he's offended and saunters off, nose in the air; Bob Begley, as well-bred, sincere, and co-operative in real life as the guys he plays on stage; young Leo O'Brien, in a corner going over "The Near East is also the his lines so seriously; Pete's pan- gateway to the world's largest tomine of preparations for bath- potential supply of oil.

Russia will jeep on doing all in her power to see that we are cut off from the "heartland." Mr. Smetana further elaborated on the various schools of geopolitical thought and the practical effects of these ideas. As an :xample he cited Haushoffer, who leaded the German materialistic school and whose ideas eventu- illy became Hitler's ideals in action. " DON BOSCO Campus Calendar Friday: Dominican Reception.

Presenting the arguments for .he Negative will be: Harold Jrown, Ken Ward and John clayes. All the participants in this debate and public forum are mem- iers of the Philhistorian Debat- ng Society and other students of jublic speaking renown. This particular topic is chosen because it is timely and of universal interest. It is reported that ;he topic is of such import that many San Francisco political groups have manifested a very active interest in the question. Because of this great attendance s expected from the outside and from members of the student body at this annual debate. A prize of fifty-dollars will be given to the best speaker of the evening and a prize of thirty-dol come summertime; Aldo Bozzini's Latin exuberance, quite unlike his austere, eye-browy roles; Jeanne Corcoran and Mary Gill's sincerity and application; Jean D'Acquisto, even lovelier offstage. . . .

PAST IN ACTION Significance of "Mary": It is a great historical drama. Much has been said of the benefits derived by students from these dramas that present history interestingly, humanly. These people leave the drab, unlifelike existence of the printed page and assume human form, facing and reacting to their problems even much as we would. They, and their times and their travails, are remembered. Cipen Meeting Wednesday evening, May 12, at 8 o'clock, in the Semeria Room, the Industrial Relations Society will present Mr. William J. Stephens, manager of the personnel division of the East Bay Municipal Utility District. Mr. Stephens will give a talk on "Employment in Personnel Work." All graduating seniors who intend to go into the personnel department field are cordially invited to attend this talk as it will prove interesting and valuable to them. BUSINESS M'Cue Concert Sat. Features 'Whiff cnpoor Tomorrow evening, the University Glee Club, under the direction of Art McCue, will present its "First Annual Spring Concert" which, although not in conjunction with the present National Music Week, will be an appropriate expression of this nationally celebrated occasion. The concert will start at 8:30 p.m. in the auditorium. "Modern in Iheme," was what Gene Salgo, Spokesman of the Glee Club, termed this concert. Such airs as "The Whiffenpoof Song" and the more virile tone of •March Of Men Of Harlec"' will be the pervading mood in the Glee Clubbers' songs that evening. SUMMARY In order to clarify any misinterpretation of the word "concert," as applied to this musical presentation, and for the benefit of those non-too-ardent lovers of long-haire.1 music, a summary of the program is as follows: 1. A few piano selections by Art McCue, which will include "Warsaw Concerto," "Rhapsody in Blue," and "Moonlight Sonata." 2. Vocal solo renditions of "Liza" and "Sorrento" by John O'Brien and Stephen Negoesco, respectively. 3. A piano duet by Alfred Arriola and Art McCue consisting of such popular semi-classics as "Malaguena" and "Saber Dance." 4. A few more Fred Waring- styled chansons celebres, like "Yesterdays" and "All The Things You Are." This concert, aside from affording a chance to show the student body, faculty, and friends of USF just what our music department has accomplished up to the present, will also be calculated to attract the potential but rather reluctant musical talent here on the campus.

Stimulates Politicians itiation in the United States. It boasts a membership of oustanding people in the field of Political Science; and has during its long history promoted scholarship and academic leadership in the larger aspects of ::ocial science. HISTORY Omega Chapter was established at the University of San Francisco in 1937. But due to the constant changes in the personnel of the department, and later World War II, the local chapter has been inactive. It was largely due to the efforts of the Dean of Faculties, the Very Reverend ^yrion.l Thomas Feely, S.J., LLD., that the Omega Chapter has been reactivated. His abiding interest in the promotion of outsanding scholarship i. -1 student achievement at the Unwersity of San Francisco is expressed in his interest in Omega Chapter. Next year the Omega Chapter will offer a program which will challenge the best talents of the fraternity members. It is expected they will execute the program with distinction and honor. Fellow Students: In a Catholic university it has been the custom to begin any event with a prayer. Therefore this year, as in the past, we are celebrating the start of President's Day with a Mass. Any student who plans to participate in the celebration honoring Fa ther William J. Dunne, S.J., should attend this Mass. YEARS BIGGEST This year we are endeavoring to make President's Day the biggest event of the year. The plans have been laid for a successful celebration. However the cooperation and attendance of the entire faculty and student body is necessary. We ask that the students, whether married, single, or working, make a sincere effort to at tend. This is the student body's chance as a group to show its appreciation for Father Dunne's work as administrator of the university. This is the day we have all been looking forward to; with sincere effort we can make it a day that will never be forgotten. The President's Day program is as follows: President's Day Mass (St. Ignatius Church), 9:00-9:45. Senior-Faculty Baseball game (U.S.F. Field; 10:00-11:20. Athletic Events (U.S.F. Field) 11:30-12:45. Refreshments (U.S.F. Lounge) 1:00-2:00. Intra-Squad Football Game (S. I Field), 2:30. ■—Joe Truzzolino, Chairman Pres. Day Comm. By -JOSEPH HESCHELE President's Day, Tuesday, May 11, one of the oldest traditions in the University's ninety three year history, will be a day of special tribute to Rev. William J. Dunne, S.J., who is approaching the end of his tenth year as president of the University of San Francisco. —« Students, faculty and alumni will join In the spiritual, athletic and social activities of the day to honor the man who has guided the University through the trying years of the post-depress^u ^•a; through the lean war years of empty classrooms and echoing hallways; into the period of reconversion and expansion. MASS STARTS DAY The day will commence with a Solemn Mass at which Fr. Dunne will be the celebrant. As Fr. Dunne remarked: "Every great day in the Catholic year is dedicated spiritually with the celebration of Holy Mass. This is our opportunity to renew our common ideals and to thank God for all of the past blessings bestowed upon the University and to ask His continued protection and guidance. "I am always especially happy on President's Day, not because I am being honored in a personal manner, but because the day itself is an expression of the joy I feel that the familiar bond existing betwen the students, the faculty and the alumni has become stronger with the advancing years. It is my earnest desire to foster this unity and spirit of cooperation. NEW LIBRARY "I am sure many of you are wondering about the proposed building program. Construction should begin on the new University Library before the end of the year." Joseph Truzzolino is the director of the program committee. Fr. Dunne will be on the mound when the faculty meets the seniors in their annual softball game. FACULTY BANQUET In the evening, Fr. Dunne will be the honored guest at the annual faculty banquet. Rev. Raymond T. Feely, S.J., recalls "those days when the University used to invite the whole student body to the annual banquet." BIOGRAPHY Fr. Dunne is a native of San Francisco and an alumnus of St. Ignatius High School. In 1915, after graduating from high school, he immediately entered he Sacred Heart Novitiate, Los Gatos. He completed his preliminary studies and taught for the prescribed three years in this country, then was sent to Europe "or his theological studies at Lyons, France, and at the Jesuit Theologate, Hastings, England. He was ordained in Lyons, in the Spring of 1928. He was appointed rector of the Los Gatos Novitiaie n 1931, where he remained until 1938, when he succeeded Rev. Harold Ring, S.J., as rector of the St. Ignatius community and president of the University. SECOND TERM It is usual for Jesuit administrators to be changed every six years, but in 1945, when Fr. Dunne's original term was to expire, it was deemed inadvisable to appoint a new man to the office. Instead, Rev. Carroll O'Sullivan, •■cplaced him as over-all director if the combined University, St. Ignatius High School and St. Ignatius Church, thus enabling Fr. Dunne to devote all of his time and energy to the problems facing him as president of the University and High School. He has the unique distinction of being President for the longest term in the history of the Uni- versity. During the recent convention if the National Catholic Education Association, Fr. Dunne was elected vice-president of the college division. Fulogiz Fr. Lyons, S.JL On Saturday, May 1, Father James J. Lyons, S.J., gave the eulogy at a testimonial dinner in honor of Warden James A. Johnston of Alcatraz, who has retired. The invocation of the evening was given by Father Joseph Clark, S.J., the Catholic Chaplain of the prison. "Christ Regards Man" was the topic of a lecture that Father Loyns gave to the members of the Berkeley Book Guild Tuesday evening. This lecture will be followed by two others, "Shakespeare Regards Man" and "Oux Contemporaries Regard Man." These talks will be delivered on May 11 and May 18 at the College Women's Club In Berkeley. ♦-♦ .
