Hyink OK s Unity Board
Bernard Hyink, dean of students, * put the official seal of approval on the much disputed Unity bulletin board yesterday when a committee of Unityites headed by Frank O'Sullivan, chairman of the party, asked for a ruling.
His first decision called for the display to be placed in the lobby of the Student Union. O'Sullivan and his committee appealed the decision and asked that Dean Hyink allow the display to be placed in front of Bovard.
Legality of the bulletin board, covered with pictures anti DT clippings of last year's election, was questioned Tuesday when Larry Bub, acting under the direction of Dean Hyink and Ellen Potter, acting student body president, ordered It to be taken down.
Stolen Plank' Riles Big Ed
Ed Vierhc ”r lashed out at the Unity party yesterday with a charge of plank stealing from his platform.
The “purloined plank” Vierheilig asserted is that of registration by mail.
Vierheilig said, “It is a compliment when my opposition likes my platform enough to copy a part of
it."
Bob Padgett, opposing candidate for the presidency, struck back at the charge and declared that it is certainly untrue and that there had been no “plank stealing.”

:aust Opens 3-Day Run at Bovard
Jlie Devil walked the stage of r^ard auditorium last night as lann Wolfgang von Goethe's iust,” played in the original Ger-n, opened for a three-day run.
[e was a blustering, gusty, gestic-iting “Mephisto.” dressed in inky | * and robed with a searlet-lin-cape that gave wings to his |wling and prancing. He waved long feather on his black cap
I if it were a forked tail and he d his marvelous voice as a whip a club to threaten, entreat, and Jcule his victim.
Palter Wicclair. who also pro-
duced the drama and directed the prolessional cast was “Mephisto.” He played the role as if he enjoyed it.
Norbert Schiller, as “Faust,” the man who sells his soul to the Devil but remains undefeated in life, gave a smooth, self-assured performance. His bold voice and powerfully human portrayal of a strong man beset by adversity made him a suitable opponent for Wicclair's “Mephisto.”
The rest or the east, headed by Laura McCann, “Gretchen;” Else Baech Neft, “Martha:’’ and Otto
Waldis, “Flosch;” used their excellent talents to make the power and scope of Goethe’s tragedy transcend the language barrier. But the play belonged to “Faust” and “Mephisto’’—Goethe wrote it that way, and this cast played it that way.
Rolf Jacoby’s stage settings, even with their ubiquitous steps, are outstanding creations in shades of green, brown, purple, and somber red. The balance and simplicity of their clean, plain lines blend with the action to make the stage conflict convincing.
The lighting worked out by Mrs. Evadna Blackburn is spectacular. It has a proper eerie and mystic quality that enhances the drama and adds fire and sparkle to the sets, which become starkly beautiful under flashes of multicolored lights.
Alwin Elling, formerly with UFA, prewar German motion picture company, is the author of the prologue which he gave.
Tickets for performances tonight and tomorrow1 night are on sale at the University Ticket office, 209 Student Union, for $1.20, $1.40, and $2.40.
Pre-Game Dig Tonight Will Boost Spirit
Pre-Navy game festivities reach a climax tonight with the seventh annual Chi Phi all-U watermelon dig which will officially begin at 8 when Tommy Walker, Yell King Tom Shea, and the Trojan band march down 28th street.
Seven thousand pounds of watermelon have been imported from Mexico to feed the thousands of SC students and rooters who are expected to attend.
“Its all free and everybody is invited to attend,” Knight Rally Chairman Dan • Schiavone explained.
Although an all-U affair, the dig is entirely financed by Chi Phi, Schiavone said. He said John Klug, Chi Phi social chairman, and his crew spent all yesterday afternoon feverishly packing ice and straw on the melons to make sure they would be ice cold for tonight’s festivities.
Entertainment will be provided by Bill Warfield, Delt songster, and Gordon Munfcyd, who will perform on the piano.
Street dancing will begin at 9 and continue until midnight. Music will be provided by Freddy Vincent and his orchestra.
The first ball will be toed off at 2:30 p.m.
The Trojans have been installed as 14-point favorites although this is the first game of the year for both teams and despite the fact that the Middies have a one-week bulge on Troy in conditioning. It also wiil mark the first meeting in liistory of these two teams on the gridiron.

KUSC Tabs Cravath for Grid Program
Pregame information on Navy football strength will be given by Jeff Cravath over KUSC this afternoon at 5 45.
An interview with the SC grid coach will initiate a new weekly program, tentatively titled “Inside Football.” This show, produced by Jack Atkinson, Jerry Pomerance. and Sam Rowe, will bring campus football personalities to the mike each week.
“This is a new idea in football coverage,’’ Atkinson said yesterday. “We’d like to hear what students think of it.”
tentially better ball club than a year ago.”
This may not be saying too much, for the ball club of a year ago was one of the losingest clubs in the country, dropping eight, tie-ing one, and winning none.
Still it must be remembered that the Midshipmen have lost their three top offensive threats from last year’s squad—quarterbac|k Reaves Baysinger, halfback “Pistol Pete” Williams, and fullback Bill Hawkins.
While admitting that “we haven’t uncovered another Bill Hawkins,” Sauer feels that this year’s team will be a little stronger on the (Continued on Page 3)
SC Rooter Stunts
The rooting section will explode a battleship to help SC sink the Navy tomorrow afternoon.
This half time card stunt, accomplished with the help of 1728 rooters, will end with the formation of a Navy goat superimposed on a helm.
Bill Hobba. a senior in the School of Architecture, originated the idea.
Hobba, who has been designing SC’s card stunts for four years, spoke at several ieading universities this summer to instruct them in Trojan rooter routines.
“Alumni Get Big Hello While Injun Get Put Below," 19-year-old John L. Scott'S contribution to the contest for the best homecoming slogan, was a winner, announced Don Gevirtz, slogan contest chairman, late yesterday afternoon.
The decision came after a
grueling two-and-a-half hour session following a luncheon of the committee members at Rodger Young auditorium. The winning slogan was picked from a field of 840 student entries.
The judging began on Wednesday when the 840 entries were whittled down by the student judging committee to 30.
Yesterday, the committee, with the faculty judges sitting in, bal-lotted on the ten of the 30 slogans which they liked best. They then vcted on the four best slogans out of the ten. Following this cut, there was an hour and a half discussion on which slogan to use.
Gevirtz said that the committee had a choice between a slogan of a more serious vein and one of a humorous vein. The reason for choosing the latter, he explained, was that .he and the rest of the committee felt that more and better floats could be constructed around a humorous slogan.
Contacted last night, Scott was “surprised” that he had won the contest. Asked if he had ever won a contest before, Scott replied, “Never!” His winning slogan was one ot the eight or nine that he had submitted.

Tirebiter Doubtful Navy Starter
With tomorrow’s game scarcely more than 24 hours away, Trojans are asking whether or not George Tirebiter, SC’s much discussed but seldom seen mascot, will put in an appearance.
Navy’s well publicized but odoriferous mascot, Rex Neptune, has had his picture splashed over al-| most every paper in town, while George remains secluded in a local canine rest home.
Rex. who is really a double imported from Compton’s Naval Reserve Training center, has been placed in the custody of two goat keepers liberally supplied with Mum (“don’t be half-sa!f”) and assorted tin cans.
Superstitious Troy rooters are becoming uneasy mulling over the prospect of the flea-bitten mascot with the insatiable lust for revolving Firestones failing to make an appearance in the Coliseum tomorrow.
Trojan Knights, who are responsible for George’s social and public appearances, offered nothing but a terse “no comment” when queried about his appearance tomorrow.
George, who disdains personal deoderants, has been SC’s mascot since 1947, when his foot prints were ceremoniously impressed in wet cement for posterity beside those of Troy’s other greats outside Phelps-TerkeL
His adventures, including kidnappings and rescues, having the initials UCLA shaved on his posterior, and a ride to the Coliseum in an armored truck, made “Tirebiter” a household word in this area. He appeared destined to be pointed out on bus tours and to be listed on a par with the La Brea tar pits by the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce.
Sportswriters are general ly agreed that SC has the edge on Navy, the weatherman can promise fair weather, and authorities are confident of at least 70,000 people attending tomorrow’s fracas—but nobody knows nothin* about George Tirebiter.
