•* “The Hungerers.’’
Dubbed “an unpleasant comedy in two scenes” by Coward, “Fumed Oak” is the amusing story of a henpecked husband, Henry Gow, played by Gene Hardy, who determinedly leaves his unhappy home. Gow deserts his wife, played by Dec Cooper, a daughter, played by Charlene Hardey, and a mother-in-law, portrayed by Mary Ellen Valier.
Gows denunciation of his wife, who tricked him into marriage, brings Hardy to the stage for the first time. He is supported by another newcomer, Miss Cooper, and veterans Miss Valier and Miss Hardey.
A touching moralistic tragedy, Saroyan brings to the stage a cast of experienced players in the story of four hungry, struggling

SC Opera Ariadne Has Professional Air
by Ben Weinberg
All Bovard needed at the Mon- j day night opening of “Ariadne on Naxos” to make it just like the Met was a dowager throwing her leg up n a table or a playboy standmg on head in front of Tommy Trojan.
It was that professional.
The biggest bouquet goes to Dr. Carl Ebert. He and his newly form- j ed department of opera have dene a magnificant job. An opera is not an «asy thing to stage, especially a university, but Dr. Ebert's e touch made it look easy. “Anadne on Naxos"’ is a plav-thin-a-play about a Viennese | ember of the nouveau riche (an tered fellow who never ap-) who plans to put on a short for dinner guests.
Td further pep up his evidently ftVads, the nch fellow alao
books a comedy song-and-dance troupe for later in the evening.
In the first scene, the backstage of an improvised theater in the man's home, action revolves around his decision to combine both forms of entertainment into one because the diners have lingered too long.
Members of the dance troupe and the music teacher and composer who were going to stage the opera have several heated words, but it is finally decided that the opera should go on as scheduled and at an appropriate moment, the dancers will come on the scene .
The second scene, the opera proper, is set on a desert island. Ariadne has been left on the island by her lover, who has tired of her. With comic incongruity, the danseuse and her troupe of clowns show up on
the island and try to cheer the jilted girl.
In spite of the dancers' efforts, Ariadne dees not feel any better and continues to pray for death.
The payoff comes when instead of the God of Death coming down from heaven, it turns out to be Bacchus. God of Eternal Youth, who leads Ariadne to a new and glorious life.
Lucine Amara. in the role of Ariadne, easily carries off top singing honors. Her voice has brilliance, range, color and all the other adjectives the real opera critics u$e.
On the male roster, its Theodor Uppman who heads the list. In both his parts, as the music teacher in the prologue and as Harlekm in the cpera proper, he is at home on the stage vocally and visually.
Patricia Bnnton did a fine Job
in the recitative role of the composer in the prologue.
Zerbinetta, played by Bayla Seltzer. was a pert and charming danseuse. Her voice could have used a bit more power at times, but it had a sweet and intriguing quality.
Lawrence Larsen, in the dual role of a dancing master in the prologue and a buffon in the opera proper, and John Cortay, who doubled in the same order as the Tenor and Bacchus, were very good although they too needed more power at times.
The revolving-stage sets were neatly executed. Of course. Bovard had no trouble like an improvised stage, which was the designation for the first scene.
Director Wolfgang Martin and the University symphony orchestra could front for any opera company anywhere.
Pharmacists Plan Awards
Students of the School of Pharmacy who proved themselves outstanding in various fields of pharmacy work will receive awards Saturday evening during the school’s annual award banquet at the Nikabob restaurant. 825 South Western avenue.
Names of students to be honored will be withheld until the presentation of awards. The outstanding senior graduating in June or following summer school will receive recognition at this time.

Drizzles Nearly Drown Hopes of Unity Petitioners
Unity backers looked at the sky yesterday morning, mopped the rain from their upturned faces, and groaned aloud at the inclement weather.
•The big plan of the dissatisfied group was the circulating of a new petition yesterday to spike Monday’s Senate decision that petition No. 1 was a “recall” document.
. Intermittent drizzles forced sign-! atures gatherers in and out of Student Union yesterday. Petitions became soggy, and Unitymen became anxious.
By noon, Unitymen relaxed, confident that they would have the required 1640 signatures necessary for such a referendum movement before the crucial Senate confab took place.
Meanwhile, a bedraggled tomcat was having his troubles with the weather too.
Stationed outside the warm security of Hancock hall, the wet gray cat waited for harried students to dash into the building.
When the door was opened, in slipped Tom.
A moment later, out he came, propelled by alert Hancock guards.
Tom repeated his vigil, and the whole scene was replayed several times.
Tom's persistency paid off. The last time he was seen, he was padding triumphantly down the imposing corridors of Hancock hall.
More Rain Due
Voters will have their weather sunny side up again as the weatherman has put in a short order for cloudy skies with scattered showers and a few thunderstorms for today.
Continued cool and locally windy is included on today's menu.

Referendum elections to decide Big Ed Vierheilig’s right to the ASSC presidency begin this morning at 9 in the basement of Elisabeth von KlenSmid hall, the ASSC Senate ruled
last night.
The Senate refused petitions to hold the new elections at
the same time on the grounds that*
Vierheilig's reputation has been compromised by adverse publicity.
President John Davis reversed his previous stand on the petitions and declared the coming election to be a referendum rather than a recall, lowering the required majority from two-thirds to a half.

Vote Procedure In EVK Outlined
SC students will vote today, tomorrow, and Friday, from 9 to 5 in the Elisabeth von KieinSmid residence hal! basement.
Subject of the election is a referendum on recent Senate action.
The referendum asks:
Shall the Senate action which approved the report of the Elections Commissioner on the results of the recent ASSC election for ASSC President be reversed?
Vo. ers should stamp either the •yes” or “no’’ box below the question.
If the referendum carries by a majority vote, elections for ASSC president will be held in the fall semester.

sire for equal opportunity to both candidates was responsible for the deciding votes.
Writhing and groaning, yelling and accusing in its effort to escape party considerations and find the will of the student body, the Senate wrangled for three hours before it decided that the campus should cool off before the big election.
Both sides were frequently called to order for their charges against the opposition.
ROW DECIDES
In the end, however, the Row men decided that Vierheilig must have a fair chance to redeem himself, and the voting was almost straight party line. ,
The debate boiled down to one big consideration; should the evident wishes of the student body in favor of an immediate election be thrown overboard in consideration of Vierheilig's lessened chances of election.
The validity of Unity's petitions, one of which had approximately 4500 signatures and the other more than 2000. was questioned many
times.
Only the people who wanted Padgett to be president were signing the petitions, according to one Row (Continued on Page 3)

Dramatic charges ripped smoky Senate air last night as debate on this week's ASSC elections degenerated into heated accusations, denials, name-calling, innuendo, and gems for the split gallery's amusement.
Before Senators had weighed the will of the people as opposed to the disadvantage of an election to Ed Vierheilig at this time and found the will cf the people wanting, at least half of the Senators present had risen, red-faced, to defend themselves.
Bill Stevens, author c! the controversial petitions, started the ball rolling early in the session when he made an impassioned plea for an immediate presidential election to run concurrently with the referendum.
AMERICAN SYSTEM SLAPPED
“Twice within one week, thousands have expressed the desire to have this election now,” he said.
1 “We should carry out the mandate I of the people. If we do not, we will be slapping the American system in the face.”
George Wood, member of BUI McGurty's elections commission, leaped into the breach.
“The people who signed the petitions were the people who voted for Padgett.” he charged. "All it takes to start anything you want is to get people who voted for Padgett to sign a petition.”
Cal Schmidt echoed Row charges that Padgett men signed t.he controversial petitions.
GROSS DISTORTION
“The Row elected Vierheilig.” he said.

Huntley to Tell Of Iron Curtain'
Discussing America's role in lifting the Iron curtain. Chet Huntley, CBS news analyst, will address the World Problems of Today forum tomorrow night at 7 in Bowne hall.
Huntley says America’s action toward lifting the Iron curtain is the first yet taken, and that it is our country's responsibility. He will also discuss the relationship between America and those countries that remain behind the Iron curtain.
America can only fulfill is responsibility by proving to the people behind the Iron curtain that cur way of living is better by “guaranteeing them economic salvation and by maintaining their basic freedoms.” he said.
Although the Marshall plan is helping to get through some of these ideas to the people behind the Iron curtain, the US can better do this by following President Truman's State of the Union speech plan, he declared.
Huntley said that this would entail developing the industries and resources of the underdeveloped areas such as India and Latin America, raising th? people's standard of living and helping them to
Ai&utUift ttfir irodom.
America must not, however, overlook the feeling of economic insecurity that millions of Americans have, he warned. While dealinsr with foreign economic policies, it must remove that insecurity.
The World Problems forum series is sponsored by University college and the School of Philosophy. Tickets to the lecture may be purchased at the door for 75 cents.
