Altamirano Expansion was the theme of this year's Foghorn, which for the past twenty-seven years has served as the official voice of the Associated Students of the University of San Francisco. Under its F!ditor-in-Chief Dick Nachtsheim, the Foghorn saw itself grow from a mere four-page tabloid into an imposing six-page standard-sized newspaper. While Nachtsheim assumed the task of overall supervision of the Foghorn and its component departments, it was into the lap of Managing Editor Phil Lum that the problem of makeup fell. News Editor Bill Crawford and his staff of reporters were responsible for the extensive news coverage of the University's departments, organizations, and extracurricular functions. Foremost among the Foghorn's columnists was John Cavanagh, who, when not busy gathering items for his much discussed Hilltop Lowdown, also doubled as Feature Editor. The Sports Department, under the editorial scrutiny of first Paul Abbott, then Bart Lagomarsino, found itself often pressed for space in trying to bring to the students full coverage of the Hilltop's vast intramural as well as intercollegiate sports program. Paul Abbott's ‘ Under the Bench column presented the inside story of the USF sports picture. Copy Editor Matt Gaffney never saw a dull Wednesday afternoon as he and his staff of copy and rewrite men put the final touches on important news stories before deadline time. Editing, writing and makeup are but only one side of a newspaper's life. Competent and efficient hands are needed in the business management and circulation departments of a newspaper, and the Foghorn found such hands in the persons of Jack Cannon, Dave Silva, Bill Javorsky and A1 Burford. Cannon served as Foghorn Business Manager at the beginning of .the year but due to other commitments was forced to give over the reins to Dave Silva midway during the Fall Semester. It was in large measure due to the work of the advertising department that made the rapid growth of the Foghorn possible. Bill Javorsky took charge of the Foghorn s Circulation Department for the Fall term and was spelled by A1 Burford in the Spring. Over seven hundred copies of the Foghorn are sent through the mails each week to subscribers, alumni, and other colleges (as part of a vast exchange program). The 1952-53 school year was in reality a busy and prosperous one for the Foghorn and its staff.

Poxtello PUBLICITY In its second year of operation the Publicity Committee was chairmanned by Jack Portello. Under Jack's tutelage the “Pub.Com. expanded its activities tremendously. The committee was responsible for all the on-campus publicity for all school dances, smokers, sports, both intercollegiate and intramural, the BSC, the Mardi Gras, and work for all the clubs. The Publicity Committee has a small workroom under the barracks' recreation room. Here the members come at all hours of the day and night to turn out COMMITTEE their works of art. The recent addition of a heater greatly improved the working conditions. Senior Bert Theis will be well remembered for the excellent cartoons he did. Soph Don Stoesser was responsible for some of the most elaborate signs and posters USF has ever seen. Don also turned his talents to the YEARBOOK by sketching the pins and keys of several of the clubs; his work appears on the next few pages. Through the unselfish cooperation of all its members the Publicity Committee has made this year an outstanding one for the University.
