Finding Your First JobM RI DINZEO

W

hether it is on or off campus,finding a job can seem like

daunting task for some in-coming freshmen. Alex Hochman, careercounselor and assistant director of the USFCareer Services Center, says that it is nevertoo early to begin building work experience.Regardless of a students work prior workexperience, or lack thereof, his first pieceof advice is to Have a resume. No oneis going to expect you to have a four pageresume filled with previous experience, sodont be ashamed if its light. Just the factthat you took the time either to go onlineor come to the Career Services Center andput something together will be impressive. Junior graphic design major, BenjiCanning-Pereira, who entered collegehaving never worked before, applied forand received his first on-campus job almostimmediately after the start of fall classes.I was really nervous because I didnt

know what to say or how a resume shouldlook, said Pereira, who works as a studentassistant. Pereira researched on-campus jobs at USF s student employment offi ce website. He also attended the Forwardprogram sponsored by the Learning andWriting Center, a two-week introductoryprogram for incoming freshman, where hemet his future boss, a speaker at one of hisForward seminar classes. He introducedhimself to her and told her that he wasinterested in the job opening he had foundonline. He obtained an interview and washired shortly after. Pereira said that whatwas most intimidating about his first jobinterview were the unexpected questions,such as his interests and hobbies. ose were the questions that were harder toanswer, because I wasnt prepared forthem. I really had to think about those,

said Pereira. I also had to concentrateon articulating what I wanted to say.Most important for students who areapplying for on-campus work is toknow their financial aid status, especiallyconsidering most on-campus jobs requireeither work-study or USF works. Itreally hurts students when they areasked if they have work-study andare unable to answer, said Hochman, who suggested that students indicatefinancial aid status on their resumes. It just makes everything much clearer.Even if students are applying for on- ampusjobs such as Jamba Juice, Hochman saidthat professional dress is imperative. Dontcome in shorts, flip-flops, and t-shirts, saidHochman, who added that post-interviewthank-you notes are also impressive topotentia l employers. Also, the first-time

college job interview is the only one inwhich it is acceptable to talk about highschool, and Hochman encourages studentsto do so. For instance, prom or yearbookcommittee can showcase a studentsorganizational and leadership skills.

Hochman said that students shouldnot be so concerned with their first jobsrelevance to their major, or about findinga paid internship. eres nothing wrong with being a student assistant, working at Jamba Juice or slingingpizzas at Giorgios, said Hochman.Finally, Hochman said having a job duringcollege can only benefit students oncethey graduate and begin their careers.Employers like to see students who

have worked during school because itshows responsibi lity. ey like students who have slung pizza, said Hochman.Hochman said that when applying for jobs post-matriculation, students shouldindicate whether their employment during

Monica Talag is working at the Phelan Hall Inn front desk this summer.Talag is one of many students who find jobs on campus every semester. issummer job is especially sweet because it comes with a free room in the resi-dence hall, you get to learn a lot about school and your peers, and you getto meet a lot of people, she said. Talag is no stranger to working on campus;she has held positions as a chemistry stock clerk and this fall she will be aresident advisor in Lone Mountain Hall. As an RA, Talags responsibili-ties will include helping to build a strong hall community as well as helpingresidents adjust to the academic life here at USF.

Studying abroad can be a great xperience to add to your over-

ll undergraduate education andfor many it becomes a life changing ex-perience. Picking when and where in theworld you want to stay can be an excit-ing process. However, going abroad in-volves more than just picking where you want to study and then flying to yourdestination; there are a lot of logisti-cal steps involved in studying abroad. Ittakes nearly a year worth of planning toplan a successful semester, or year abroad.

e first step is filling out a form of in-terest in the Study Abroad offi ce locatedon the fourth floor of the University Cen-ter. By filling out this form, the offi ce canlearn what countries interest you and whatlanguage(s) you can speak and at whatlevel of proficiency. e next step is find-ing study abroad programs whose credits

are transferable and can be used towardsreceiving your degree at USF. Sometimesfinding a program where this is possible will determine where you study abroad.e university offers a number of internalprograms in such cities as Rome, Barcelo-na, Tokyo, Rio de Janeiro and many more.If none of the locations that the universityhas to offer interest you, the study abroadoffi ce has an entire wal l dedicated to ex-ternal programs. Once you have pickedout a destination, all paper work for yourapplication has to be sent to the studyabroad offi ce by a certain date depend-ing on when you plan to travel. For springsemester departures, all paperwork needsto be in by October 1. For fall semesterand academic year departures the date isMarch 1 and for summer sessions March15. Once you have been accepted, the next

step is to apply for a visa and a passport.

If you already have a passport, makesure that it is still valid. New passport lawshave made applying for or reapplying fora passport a lengthy process. Even thoughthere is the option to expedite your pass-port process, it can still take several weeks.Getting a visa is also a long process thatcan take several weeks to complete andcan not be done without a current pass-port. is process involves going to yourhost countrys consulate and applying fora student visa. Some of the paperworkneeded for this process is proof of finan-

cial stability, proof of admission from yourschool abroad, proof of health insuranceand so forth. Your visa will come attachedto your passport and will be sent to what-

ver address is listed on your paperwork.

While waiting for all of your paper-work to process, a good thing to do is toread up on the culture and customs ofyour host country. Although the only wayto really know a culture is to experience itfirst hand, learning about it before youreparture can give you a sense of what

your host country will be like and lessenthe culture shock that will be felt initially.

nce you have attained the proper

paperwork and have made all of yourtravel arrangements, get ready for onef the best experiences of your life.

5) Plan for the next life milestone

Even though college is just starting, yourenext life milestone is just a few years away.Whether its grad school or gasp! yourfirst house, start saving right away. All ittakes is dedicating 10% of your monthly

BOBBY LEEStaff Writer

With the move into the dormsquickly approaching, it is easyto forget about your personal

finances. Here are a few quick tips to

get your financial life jump started as youegin your college career:

1) Open a Local Checking Account

It is inevitable that you will need to writea check, withdraw money for a fun nightout or wire some cash quickly to coveryour almost-overdue tuition bill. But theBank of Guam can not help you much ina pinch if you are in San Francisco, unlessthey have a local branch in the city.

Instead, avoid the hassle and headacheand open a checking account at a localank. While Bank of America has three

ATMs on campus and may be convenientfor straight withdrawals and deposits;Washington Mutual Bank, Wells FargoBank, and other local, regional and

national banks are just a hop, skip, and ahalf-jump away.

Remember to check out the fees for ATMusage, monthly account maintenance fees,and also see which banks operating hoursare most convenient for you. All nationalanks offer some sort of free or reduced-

fee checking account for college students.

If youre a member of a local credit union,see if theyre a member of the CreditUnion Service Center network sharedranching network. If so, you may be

able to access many of youre local banksfeatures from another San Francisco-ased credit union. Visit cuswirl.com or

creditunion.net for more information.

2) Establish Credit Early On

Establishing credit the ability to borrowmoney -- early in your life is necessaryto help you secure loans, credit cards andmortgages in the future. But buildingcredit from scratch is the ultimate catch-

22. You need credit to get credit , but youan not get credit if you dont already havet. What is a student to do?

heck out unsecured credit cards. Inxchange for giving the credit card issuerfew hundred dollars, the company will

ive you a nearly-similar amount on aredit card as a credit limit. e bank canccess your secured deposit if you ever

miss a payment and you get a credit cardwith a low limit to help build credit, but

lso to prevent you from running amuckwith your spending habits. Everyonewins!

) Avoid Credit Card Hawkers and HighInterest Cards

ave college students are to credit cardawkers what dead mice are to a vulture.

Although USF specifically prohibitsompanies from soliciting students forredit card applications on-campus, ittill doesnt stop them from hosting freeizza for a completed credit applicationimmicks off-campus and sending direct

mailings to students.

From small, no-name credit cardompanies, to the large national cardssuers, virtually every company is guiltyf pawing 25-30-even 35 percent interest

rate cards on students. Dont even get metarted on what happens if you miss evenne payment! Be smart, research creditards with lowest interest rates, little to

no fees and a reasonable rewards program.Bankrate.com is a great place to find suchards.

4) Create a Budget

Its really easy to spend much more thanyou have when youre shuffl ing between

lasses, work, and nights on the town.Establishing a budget early on helps

nsure you wont run out of cash -- whichan be especially embarrassing if youretuck paying the tab for your friends at a

restaurant. Whether you work multipleobs or receive a monthly allowance f rom

your parents, remember to plan and

udget towards this goal. e earlier yousave, the easier it is for you to leveragethe power of compounding. Lets takesaving for retirement as an example. Ifyou start saving $250 a month at age 20versus age 30, assuming an annual growthrate of 5%, youll end up with $479,100and $270, 961 respectively. By investingten years ear lier, your retirement savingsincreased 76.8 percent more than if youwaited until you were 30 years of age.With our parents generation living longerafter retirement try upwards of 30 years and our generation expected to liveeven longer, its important to consider

whether youll be able to live comfortablyn retirement. ink about what wouldappen if you increased the amountf money you saved per month; yourending balance would grow exponentially!

All of these tips are simple and easy waysyou can jump start your financial career.

Its up to you to decide whether or notyou are in a financial situation where youan afford to begin this financial career.

But using these tips as a starting pointwill help you worry less about money andfocus more on college.

ost freshmen come to col-lege with swirling appre-

hensions about residencelife. Living on-campus, at least for a fewsemesters, often proves rewarding be-cause it constructs a relationship be-tween social life and academics. Makingthe most out of living in the dorms restsheavily on being happy with your sur-roundings, which means being comfort-able with and proud of your living space.

Optimizing the residence hall experi-ence starts with being able to call your dormhome. You may be tempted to immedi-ately cover the walls with the same postersthat you had in high school, but considerthis: you have just opened up a new chap-ter in your life. Change is a good thing,and this very principle applies to interiordecorating. Get rid of the photomontageyou made with your friends on the last dayof ninth grade, rip apart that portrait of

Jonathan Taylor omas, and even consid-er losing the Star Wars-themed bed sheets.Before you go about customizing,

remember that the university enforces apolicy regarding fire hazards. Consult eFogcutter for a complete outline of thepolicies. e universitys fire hazard policyprohibits students f rom affi xing items tothe ceiling this means no disco balls,no canopies and no vines above the bed.

Rv. Donal Godfrey, S.J. has beenppointed the executive direc-

tor of University Ministry forthe coming school year, taking the place ofRev. John Savard, S.J. who will continue topursue other projects at USF. Rev. Donal isno stranger to USF; he has ser ved the com-munity of San Francisco for several years.He even lived in Gillson as a Resident

Minister while working toward earninga doctoratedegree ofministry atthe JesuitSchool of T h e o l o g y at Berkeley.In order tohelp informs t u d e n t sabout whatUnivers i ty Ministry hasto offer, Imet up withRev. Donal,S.J. to dis-cuss Univer-sity Ministrys place at USF.

San Francisco Foghorn: What is your vision for University Ministry?

Donal Godfrey: As for our role, weare a Catholic Jesuit university, but atthe same time we welcome people of allfaiths. University Ministry has the impor-tant role of promoting the Catholic Jesuitnature of university, but of also being aplace where we welcome everybody. Werun retreats that may have a more Catho-lic feel, while others may not be religiousin nature. We dont proselytize people; weaccept people where theyre at-- Catho-lic, former Catholic, Buddhist, Jewish. We encourage people to be themselves.

SFF: What is the biggest miscon-ception about University Ministry?

DG: I think people incorrectly be-lieve that you have to be religious to beinvolved here. I have a broader defini-tion of religion or religious than manystudents think. We respect people where

they are. God, the spirit, however you want to talk about that, is not confinedto any institution. If University Min-stry were just for Catholics, it would bealled Catholic Ministry, but its not.

SFF:How can students get more involvedr find out more about University Ministry?

DG: Students have a lot of options.e website is a great resource, but we also

ave things like the Resident MinistryInterns and allorts of pro-

grams availablefor students to join includingretreats (theres

in Xavier Cha-pel is the main

tudent Mass, and Id love to build that

ommunity. Id like to reach out to peo-ple who might not go to church very of-ten and provide an environment wherethey feel nourished and comfortable.

SFF: Anything you wish stu-ents knew about University Ministry?

DG: Were here for you! We have aiverse range of programs, depending ontudents interests. We offer all sorts of dif-

ferent retreats from the religious to thosethat arent as deeply connected to faith. We

ave the social justice programs. e litur-gies are for everybody. We brought the jus-tice lecture series to campus, and wed liketo continue building on programs like that.e bottom line is that were here for all

tudents, whether they are religious or not.

ave incense and candles in the rooms, eventhough they smell great and set the mood.To be safe about decorating your

e university bans cute critters, even iftheyre caged, but if your roommate sim-ly doesnt provide enough companion-hip, you can have some fish in the room.

Also, consult your roommate aboutecorating the place. You can work in con-

unction with him or her to create a cozy andfun space for everyone, or you might agree

to decorate separately. (And thats cool, too.uxtapositions are praised for a reason.)Finally, consider that extra furniture can

e inviting but also cumbersome. Lots oftudents dream about having a futon in the

room, only to realize that it wont fit in-ide. Craigslist.org is an excellent resource

for free furniture, but be careful about thetains on that used mattress. It seems liken excellent addition to the room, butlimbing over mountains of couch pil-

TRANSPORTATION

San Francisco is an incrediblecity with great food, shopping,nightlife and natural beauty. Not

knowing how to get to Baker Beach is nolonger an excuse for not going there. AtUSF youre never more than 3.5 milesfrom any of San Franciscos coolest attrac-tions. ats because the city is virtually a7x7 mile square with USF at the center(the geographic center of the city is a fewlocks from campus at Central Ave. and

McAlister St.). e Foghorn travel sectionhighlights the following popular ways toget around the city, none of which is bycar. Any USF student can tell you thatringing a car to campus is a horrible idea,

from parking to break-ins, a car at USFcan be a frustrating experience. So here are

some easy methods USFers use to trans-port themselves around the city by the bay.

UNI the San Francisco pub-lic transportation system operates manyroutes around the city. e buses are quick,easy and best of all free with your USF idcard and attached MUNI sticker. Someroutes including the Geary 38 and Fulton5 lines operate 24 hours a day. Use the fol-lowing map to plan out routes to some ofthe cities most popular destinations andcheck out 511.org for more information.

Biking 50% of the greenhouse gasemissions in the Bay Area are caused bytransportation, none of which comesfrom biking. Students can do their partto slow global warming by making smarttransportation decisions. Biking also

keeps you in shape and is a great way tolearn the ins and outs of a new city. SanFrancisco has a strong bicycling commu-nity, including the San Francisco BicycleCoalition, an advocacy group, and Criti-

al Mass, an unorganized escapade whereundreds of cyclists gather on the last

Friday of every month for a chaotic rompthrough the ci ty, halting traffi c and ignor-

ng red lights and all forms of precaution.

Check out these resources formore information:

pizza between classes or to flip through vi-nyl at Amoeba Records. A great ride is themellow downhill pitch of JFK Drive thatwill take you all the way through Golden

ate Park to Ocean Beach in about 15minutes. Tip: go on Saturday or Sundaywhen most of the route is closed to cars.

RAPHIC BY HUNTER PATTERSON

Using MUNI can ta e some adjustment, especially for students unaccustomed to public transit ut it really is the best optionfor fast, cheap transport around the city.Make sure to get MUNI sticker to put on your USF id card when you arrive oncampus in the fall. ese stickers are paid for through a fee tacked on to your tuition bill but USF students get a huge discountoff regular commuter bus passes. WARNING: Your MUNI sticker is valuable to people who dont have them o keep it close.If you loose your student id card go to the One Card offi ce and report it, this will void the card which means no one else canuse it to access your Flexi, Dons D llars or gain admittance to your residence hall.

ycling ulture: ritical Mass


Critical Mass is a fun event happening on the last Friday of every month. an Franciscans and USFstudents including senior, John Cerdon, of Los Angeles take part in the unstructured ride through thecity. Cerdon is also an intern with the politically active San Francisco Bicycle Coalition.

There is no denying San Fran-iscos importance with respect

to food. From the locally grownproduce (which you can snap up in overtwenty large farmers markets throughoutthe Bay Area) to the offerings of skilledchefs in any of this citys many unique res-taurants, there is something for the food-lover in all of us. Whether you seek com-fort or variety, your next meal is no morethan a few steps away. I encourage any-one new to the city to explore for them-selves, but here a few of my own favorites:

ai

is might seem like a no-brainer,given the name, but the food at thisHaight Street staple is good, cheap, andconvenient. Your Pad ai, fried tofu,and chicken satay skewers might evene ready before you hang up the phone.

Its a bit of trek from campus to havedinner at the House of Nanking, but boththe journey and the wait to be seated once you get there are worth your troubles.Situated in a visually stimulating areaetween Chinatown and North Beach

(San Franciscos Little Italy), this local fa-vorite tops meat, seafood and vegetableswith a variety of sweet and savory sauc-es. e hosts are bossy when it comes toseating, but in the end, they will be ableto fit you and your extended family into

their crowded space. Let the host orderfor you if you havent got any particu-lar dishes in mind and sit back while thefast wait staff literally stacks platters oftheir favorites before you and your guests.

You may not have heard of EritreanfoodI certainly hadnt before I cameto this city. If this is your case then youont know what youre missing! is typef food is both delicious and fun and at

Assab in particular, the service is great.Probably the most unusual thing aboutEritrean cuisine is the manner in whichthe dishes are served and eaten. Each or-er for the food of one group of diners islaced on a single serving platter, alongide the other orders, like a large mosaicf lentils, braised meats and stewed okra.

Additionally, this food is not eaten with

forks and knives or chopsticks, but ratherrabbed with torn-off pieces of a floppy,pongy, sour dough pancake called injera.

Eating this way is perfect for group dining.

SPORTSan Francisco FoghornSUMMER, 2007

ILYA FISHMANSports Writer

Aa freshman one of the first

places you will find yourself a lotf the time is Koret, the school

gym. How do I know this? Because that isexactly what I did when I was a freshmanand kept doing it till my final days at USF.Koret is one place where all of your fitnessneeds can be met. Whether you are tryingto get in shape, stay in shape or work on notgaining that famous f reshman fifteen, thereis everything there for you to succeed. isis your offi cial Foghorn Guide to Koret:

THE SWIG: is will probably bethe first thing you see entering. ree

full-sized basketball courts await anyonewho is willing to put on their basketballshoes and are ready to put their skills tothe test. A lot of USF students come toplay full-court games there with theirclassmates, professors or just regulars whocome daily. A lot of people come startingat 5pm on a daily basis and stay till clos-ing time at 10pm. Be ready to compete!

THE POOL: is is the second thingyou will most likely see on your entrance.is pool is award winning and plays hostto a lot of different things. Parents bringtheir kids for swimming lessons and a lot ofstudents take time out of their day to swima few laps for some good ole swimming ex-ercise. I say get a taste of the pool and youwill be a daily visitor to this amazing place.

SECOND FLOOR: is will beon your left as you walk down the stairs

and is a good alternative to the wait onthe downstairs machines in busy times. ere are some treadmills and ellipti-cals that can be used and the best part isthat you can do your favorite exercises infront of a big flat screen TV that showssports at all hours of the day. is is mypersonal favorite floor as I love to watchthe big game and get a good work out allat the same time. ere are also pool ta-les up there for those that want to play

some pool while watching people swim inthe pool through the big glass windows.

DANCE STUDIOS: Right throughthe doors going through the second flooryou will find a few studios on your right. Oneof them a squash room, where if you feellike you want to try a new sport or alreadyknow how to play, to test your skills againstothers. ere are also two dance rooms, one

of them doubles as a training ground forthe USF club boxing team. If you have anyinterest in boxing they will meet in theredaily so you can either come and watch orput on some gloves and join in on the fun.

HAGAN: ere is also a staircasethat leads up to that same hallway thatleads to the dance studios. is is an oldgym but is used for a ton of USF class-es. Everything from yoga to fencing istaught in that classroom, you can go inthere when it is empty if you want to avoidthe basketball rush of the Swig. Some in-tramural sports are also played in there.

FIRST FLOOR: Walking thosesame stairs all the way down you willfind the most popular place to do cardio workouts. is is where the bulk of thecardio machines are. ere are more tread-mills, stair-steppers, ellipticals and bikes

down on that floor. Be careful thoughif you come at a busy hour because thelist for treadmills and ellipticals can belong - but it sure is worth the weight.

HELP DESK: is is the desk thatis on the first floor and is hard to missright by the elevators. at is the place where you can exchange your USF IDfor a towel, a basketball or even box-ing gloves if you wish. Also, they do haveice for those hot and heavy workoutsthat leave your muscles and joints tired.

WEIGHT ROOM:ere is a stair-case right next to that desk that will leadyou down to the weight room. is might

e the second most popular room in Koret,where you can find anyone from someonejust trying to tone up to someone who istrying out for the next worlds strongestman competition. You can find machines

and free weights in there and with a lotof personal trainers around, you can alsoget some help. e room is also outfittedwith huge mirrors so you can never miss your reflection while lifting those heavy weights, what can be better than that?

EXERCISE STUDIOS: Right nextto the weight room you will find two ex-ercise studios which are used mostly forclasses like yoga or my own personal favorite: boxercise. You will have to checkfor the schedule of classes once the yeargets started to get the right times but Iguarantee you one thing, be ready to work!

LOCKER ROOMS: e lockerrooms are on that first floor and that is whereyou can store your stuff. Shower is optional.

INTRAMURAL SPORTS: Koret

is where most of you will play all of yourintramural sports. For those that dontknow what that is, it is competitive sportswithin the school where you compete withreferees/umpires but with other students.USF has a number of sports and leagues,everything from intramural basketball(the most popular sport) to dodge ball.Forms can be picked up at the front deskof Koret and trust me, its a great time!

CLUB SPORTS: If you are more in-

terested in playing a sport that is not of-fered in the athletic department but wantto have it as a club on campus, Koret islso the place to go because it is home

to those club sports. USF has the al-ready mentioned Boxing Club but theres also a fencing club, lacrosse club and

very popular rugby club. ey are greatports to compete in because you com-

pete against other schools but not on theCAA level. ere is also a USF Masters

wim team which is very competitive and

there are possibilities to join that as well.Overall Koret offers a world of pos-

ibilities. I recommend going there at leastnce during your first year of college or hell,

ven your first week of college. Once yougo you will be hooked like I was. So get outthere, do some cardio, lift some weights ando an intramural sport with your friends.

The User Friendly Guide To Koret

WELCOME:

I dont want to ask why you came to

USF because all that matters is

that you are here and that all of

you want to make the best of

your next four years here. Sports

re undoubtedly one of the most

important aspects of university

life and all of you will be ex-

posed to one of the most his-

torically enriched and historic

ports departments in all of col-

lege athletics. The one thing I

want to encourage is participa-

tion because the sports thrive

when students come and cheer.

USF is a division one school

with plenty of recent athletic

uccess. In your first few months

f school you will get a chance

to see one of the best soccer pro-

rams in the country take the

eld. USFs flagship fall pro-

ram gets new fans everyday

nd I dont doubt that all of you

will become fans before long.

Volleyball and Womens Soccer

hould not be forgotten because

both programs are on the up-

wing with new coaching staffs.

Before long basketball sea-

on will come around and you

will truly be exposed to some

f the best fans in the countrynd have an opportunity to take

part. USF basketball is the time

f the year that every fan cant

wait for. Every game is excit-

ing and you wont want to miss

minute of the action. This year

is especially exciting since USF

brings in one of the most talented

teams in recent years and some

true NBA style prospects. Once

basketball season ends dont

think you will have a break.

USF baseball has held its

wn in the USF sports world the

past three years creating new

fans and winning tons of games.

USF baseball is quickly becom-

ing the buzz of the west coast

nd do not be surprised to be

hearing the names of the USF

players thrown around ESPN

when it comes to the next great

MLB prospects. Coach Nino

has taken the program to new

heights and it wont stop next

year so be ready. As a matter of

fact, just put on your helmet and

brace yourself for an exciting

year in USF sports that will take

you for a wild ride and in the end

you will be begging for more.

HISTORY:

USF is a school that has been

round for more than 150 yearsnd has a rich sports history. Bill

Russell is quite possibly the most

famous of the USF alumni. The

man is one of the top ten basket-


Rivals nd good friends: USF Los Locos Co-President, Josh Provost(on th left) andformer Foghorn Sports Editor, Ilya Fishman engage in a competitive game of 21 insideKoret. Among basketball, eople can engage in a variety of sports and do everythingfrom yoga to free weights. Koret is at its busiest at night time between the hours of 4pmnd 8pm on weeknights. Also, on the weekends Koret only stays open until 8pm unlike

the weekdays where it stays open until 10pm. Make it a priority to take advantage of thegym here at USF

all players of all time. He helped

o lead USF Dandy Dons to con-

ecutive championships in 1955

nd in 1956. Russell along with

.C. Jones ruled the college bas-

etball world throughout the late

0s until both left for the NBA.

SF has fielded 17 Division win-

ing teams but has a few black

arks on its record. The program

as shutdown in 1982 because of

ontroversy surrounding the team.

he program was brought back

n 1985 after a huge clean up and

as not been the same until now.

For those that dont know

his, USF used to have a football

rogram back in the 50s as well

nd it was pretty successful too.

n 1951 USF would field an un-

efeated football team with three

uture NFL hall-of-famers. They

ould however not receive an in-

itation to a bowl game because

hey refused to leave two black

eammates behind. This cost

SF the football program, as the

oney that the bowl game would

ave generated enough money

o keep the program going. This

as one of the first instances of

ocial justice by USF Athletics.

Not to be outdone, USF soccer

as produced its share of success

s well. The team has produced1 conference championships and

ve NCAA titles. Phil Negoesco

the man that the negoesco field is

amed after) led the Dons to amaz-

ng success between the years of

962 and 2000. He was respon-

ible for four of the five NCAA

hampionships in USF history.

Although USF Athletics are

ot mentioned in nation media on

daily basis there is a rich history

ere. Sports are very much valued

ere and you can tell this when

ou walk through the hall of the

egendary War Memorial Gym.

ecome part of that history and

eave your mark on USF sports

y being the best fans or athletes.

INAL LAP:

his is the last Fishtank and Im

oing to go out on top and leave

he freshman class with some

ood for thought. I have spent

he last four years as a Don and

will forever be a Don and cheer

or USF Athletics. Nobody starts

ut a fan, people learn and grow

o be fans and I am sure that all

f you will carry the tradition of

eing great fans too. I wish all

f you luck in your first year at

SF and I hope that when I see

ll of you at games (and trust me

m hard to miss) that you willcream your lungs out and cheer

ith the same passion and fire

hat I have. So kids, good luck!

welcome freshman foghorn (summer 2007)
