“Plans are now underway to work out new and better card stunts,” said Gerst. “We also want to get a better coordination between the rooting section and the yell leaders.”
Gerst feels that there has been too much adverse comparison between UCLA and SC and that “through the help of every student our spirit can top all claims the Bruins can ever make.”
He feels that by having the cheer leaders on the track they will be able to cover the whole section occupied by the Trojans. Also, he suggests, a better microphone system is needed so that students sitting high up can also hear the yells.
“Just as a thought,” Gerst said, “women song leaders might add the necessary spark.”
“The Knights are open to suggestion for ideas to boost spirit and will welcome ideas from everyone,” Gerst continued. “I hope to get lots of ideas from the students as it was for them that the committee was formed.”

Robertson said the committee will concentrate more on informal academic seminars and discussions in connection with different professional schools than it has in past years. He expects the committee to sponsor one function a week after it has been organized.
Petitions are now available for Forum Committee positions in the ASSC office, SU 215. “Only those who can spend at least five hours per week on committee activities should petition,” Robertson said.
Newly-Purchased
Banner Disappears From Bovard Perch
by Andy Dimas
Troy’s victory flag which has been flying from atop Bovard Tower for the past two weeks after SC’s football victories disappeared yesterday about 1 p.m. according to Trojan Knight President, Don Daves.
“The Knight Tradition Committee is at present doing
everything in its power to see , —-----
that the victory flag is returned to its rightful place,” Daves said.
The flag is the object of a search by all Knights.
The new banner which was first displayed this season after the Washington State football game, was purchased only a few days before it made its debut.
Flag Taken Before Last year, the torn and tattered flag proclaiming Troy victories was last stolen from its conspicuous campus spot during a UCLA raid. During this raid, Bruin rooters were thrown in the Doheny fish pond but were successful in escaping with the flag, which was later returned. The old victory banner was replaced this season.
Howard Smith, Squire director, assisting Daves in the search , stated, “It is hoped than any I information concerning the flag I will be reported at once to the | Trojan Knights.”
Leads Being Checked Two leads, now being checked j ond, were reported to university : officials early yesterday after-1 noon.
“Keeping the flag in our possesion this year is most important to everyone at SC,” Daves added.
Steps are now being taken to prevent further thefts from the Bovard Tower. The tradition committee is planning to put up a temporary banner until the old one is retured.
Donated In 1951 The original flag was presented to the university in the fall of 1951. It’s purpose was to be flown from Bovard Tower after every Troy football victory.
Standing 9 feet by 15 feet, the flag is cardinal and gold with a Trojan helmet in the center.
