Dr. Kollar of Vienna Tells of Work In Children's Arts and Crafts Class Dr. H. C. Kollar of Vienna, Aus tria, addressed a meeting in the Art Gallery Saturday evening on "The Cizek School at Vienna." Dr. Kollar told of the children's class taught by Proffessor Cizek in the School for Arts and Crafts at Vienna. "Professor Cizek has instituted a new idea in the teaching of children in the arts and crafts," he said. "He uses the simple method of not teach ing at all, in the strict sense. The instructor is a guiding influence who stands by always ready to help and aid the small child, but who does no overshadow the pupil and try to force him full of his own ideas." Professor Cizek's class is a school for children from the ages of two or three to seventeen or eighteen. Chil dren under seven years of age are separated from the older ones, mak ing separate divisions in his teaching. Dr. Kollar, who is affiliated with the Vienna school, is touring the country in the interest of raising ad ditional funds for the school. He has brought examples of the children's work and exhibits them with his lec tures. The originals are on exhibit in Omaha, reproductions being brought here for his lecture. Many works in paints, black and white, wood carving, and wood cuts were brought from the Vienna school. Rev. Paul Johnston To Speak at Vespers Rev. Paul C. Johnston, pastor of the Westminster Presbyterian church, will give an address on the subject of the "Audacity of Faith" at Vespers this evening at 5 o'clock in Ellen Smith Hall.

Colorado Football Across Pacific to Sixteen members of the University of Colorado football team will be sent to Hawaii by the Boosters Club, local campus organization. Every possible plan is being used to raise the 12,600 needed to send the team to Hawaii where they will meet Honolulu. Letters have been sent out by the Boosters Club to all alumni asking for their support. A canvas of the business houses will be made and all the money taken in from the sale of candy and pop at the rames will go toward this fund. Plans are also under way for rent ing a local theater and giving a stere opUcon lecture on Hawaii, for which small sum will be charged. tv ..m la fccinr sent by the Boosters Club as fsr as the Pscifie "Work done by small children is remarkable," said Dr. Kollar. "The age from one to seven is the stage of the purest art in human beings, for it is then that the child draws from sheer desire for expression, with no outside influences acting upon his art sense." Some work was especially attrac tive. No models are used in Profes sor Cizek's class and it is all done on a large scale. Children are furnish ed with large brushes and large amounts of materials, with qo re straint as to the size of their work. One student, a girl of fourteen years, has done some very good work in wood cuts, according to Dr. Kollar. One cut, a memorial to soldiers of the Great War, was declared to be one of the best examples of that kind of work ever done. Other children of fourteen or fif teen years have " done work of all kind, large scale paintings and model ing. All of the work seems to ex press an idea of freedom ncd lack of restraint on their drawing. One interesting development since the establishment of the children's class is the request of the South Ken sington Museum for pieces of the children's work. That is a great step, said Dr. Kollar, in that it shows that art workers are beginning to re alize the value of having examples of children's work. DR. DYER WILL GIVE ADDRESS "Sound Economics and Ameri canism" to be Subject of Speech Thursday. PLAN CONVOCATION IN THE TEMPLE THEATER "Sound Economics and American ism" is the subject upon which Dr. G. W. Dyer, professor of economics at Vanderbilt University, will speak at a general convocation held at 11 o'clock Thursday in the Temple The ater. Dr. Dyer who is known as a cru sader for sound economics and wide ly known for his oratorical powers in conveying to public audiences the correct fundamentals of economics and Americanism is at the present time on a nation-wide speaking tour under the auspices of the National Industrial Council. A brief statement of Dr. Dyer's life and experience as related by the National Industrial Council will indi cate the valuable human background which this man brings to his present work. He went to Nashville, Tennessee, about twenty-five years ago, after finishing his preparatory education in Virginia, which is his native state, to enter Vanderbilt University. Af ter graduation he went to the Uni versity of Chicago where he re mained for a couple of years, taking a post-graduate course, then return ing to Vanderbilt as a professor of political economy at that institution. Subsequently a chair in social sci ence at Vanderbilt was endowed, to which Dr. Dyer transferred his pro fessional duties and which he has occupied ever since. lie is a bold and fearless speaker. .Nat only has he been active in educational mat ters, but he has been equally as fear less and active in religious and in dustrial beliefs. He is a believer in the open shop and thinks that a more practical edu cation than they are getting now should be given to the boys and girls of today. While in Nebraska, Dr. Dyer will speak in Lincoln, Omaha, Hastings, and Superior. Wednesday evening he will be the principal speaker at the banquet of the Nebraska Manu facturers' Association held in Omaha. Squad May Be Sent Play Hawaii Team coast, and from there on, the cost will be carried by Hawaii. Sixteen men accompanied by two coaches and trainer are sure of making the trip and in case the Booster Club can raise the money, four more players will be sent. A dance is already be ing planned in honor of the return of the players. The University of Colorado recent ly won the championship of the Rocky Mountain Conference for the second consecutive year by defeat ing the Colorado Aggies 80 to 0. Frank A. Hayes and A. W. Gohke of the United States Bureau of Ag riculture and Conservation and Sur rey Division of the University re turned last week from Chicago where they attended the annual convention of the Soil Survey Association. INTERFRAT GAGE TOURNEY STARTS Phi Gamma Delta and Silver Lynx Teams Win in First Games Monday. PRICE OF ADMISSION REDUCED TO TEN CENTS YESTERDAY'S RESULTS. Phi Gamma Delta, 19 Alpha Del ta, 5. Silver Lynx, 22 Zeta Beta Tau, 13. GAMES TODAY. Sigma Nu v. Pi Kappa Alpha at 4:00. Alpha Tau Omega v. Farm House at 4:20. Phi Gamma Delta and Silver Lynx basketball quintets were easy win ners in the opening games of the an nual interfraternity cage tourney which started yesterday afternoon in the Armory. The Phi Gam hoopmen defeated the Alpha Delta team by a 19-to-5 score while the Silver Lynx handed the Zeta Beta Tau team a 22-to-13 reverse. The feature of the afternoon's play was the attempted comeback of the Zeta Beta boys who were whitewashed 16 to 0 at the end of the first half in their game with the Linkmen. This afternoon the second brace of games is scheduled with the Pi Kap pa Alphas meeting the Sigma Nu's in the opener at 4 o'clock and the Farm House five playing the A. T. O. team at 4:30. Following the small turnout at the intitial contests the N Club committee in charge of the fratern ity compet urges that all basketball enthusiasts attend the remainder of the tournament games. Admission to the games' has been cut to ten cents. Schaner and Grace Star. The winners of yesterday's con tests will meet in the second round of the tourney. The "Fiji"-Alpha Delt twist started out like a close game when the two teams played seven minutes before Schaner of the winners scored the first field goal of the 1924 meet. Schaner was the out standing performer of the first con test scoring ten of his team's tallies and covering the indoor court like a veteran. The score at the end of the first half stood 6 to 2 in favor of the Phi Gams, who, by virtue of their win, claim the title of "south Lin coln." Grace, rangy center for the Silver Lynx floormen, piled up an individ ual count of sixteen points during the Lynx-Zeta Beta Tau game, some thing for high-pointers to angle at for a while. Ravitz of the losers led his mates in their attempted come back in the second half, after being held scoreless during the first period, when he threw four field goals and one free throw.

PLAYERS GIVE "LOYALTIES" Galsworthy's Play To Be Pre sented This Week in Temple Theater. MANY EXPECT IT TO BE ONE OF BIG SUCCESSES Galsworthy's play, "Loyalties," will be presented Thursday, Friday and Saturday by the University Players in the Temple Theater as the third production to be staged this year. "Rollo's Wild Oat" and "Whisper ing Wires," the first two productions this year, were declared by many to be unusual successes and much is ex pected of "Loyalties." The play is under the direction of Herbert Yen ne, instructor in education and dra matic art. The play has been said by some critics to be one of the best of John Galsworthy's plays, and that it stands well near the top of the better plays of recent years. "It is an inspira tional creation that moves with the swiftness of an arrow and the cer tainty of time," says Mr. Hornblow of the Theater magazine. The plot deals with the great prob lem of racial and social equality. Ac cording to Arthur Erickson, business manager of the University Players, "The play is worked out so well that before the first scene is over you think yourself enjoying an absorbing mystery play and look for the "Bat" or some other mystery play symbol to appear any moment." The cast contains thirteen men and four worn- TO HELP INSTALL KANSAS CHAPTER Nebraska Members of Iota Sig ma Pi Chosen to Start New Group at Lawrence.

Bennett, E. E. '09, is acting chief engineer of the Riegos y Fuerza del Ebro, S. A., operating in Barcelonia, Spain. During the past few years he hss been making spe- ial studies of the insulating value of high-potential transmission-line insulators. The Electrical World of April 12, 1924, describes the aislom- eter an insulator testing device in vented and now being marketed by Mr. Bennett Eastern Professor Found Perfect A new universal language known as Ido, which he terms" the most perfect language in existence," is be ing advocated by the Rer. F. L. Odenbsch. selsmngreph observer of John Carroll University at .Cleve land. Speaking recently of Ido, Father Odenbach said: "The telephone and radio have brought the peoples of the earth within speaking distance, but the scenes enacted are suggestive cf what must have happened at the Tower of BabeL The remedy, how ever, is in Ido, a language which rosy be learned at home in a few months. The salient features of this new and perfect vehicle of thought are: The alphabet is the English one, with a single sound for each letter; the spell ing is absolutely phonetic; every word has but one Invariable meaning. "The accent is governed by a sin gle rule: the infinitive form has the BANQUET COMES DECEMBER 12 Annual Men's Affair To Ba in Scot tish Rita Tempi.

JORGENSEN TO TELL OF ORIENTAL LANDS The first of a series of discussions at the World Forum on the views of life held by various peoples will be presented at the luncheon at the Grand hotel Wednesday noon by Prof. J. A. Rice, Jr., acting chairman of the department of ancient lang uages, who will discuss the Greek view of life. Tickets are twenty-five cents and are n sale at the Y. W. C. A. office in Ellen Smith Hall and in the Y. M. C. A. office in the Temple. Arthur Jorgensen, general secre tary of the University Y. M. C. A., who was connected with the Japanese Y. M. C. A. for twelve years, will tell of the Oriental views next week. Spe cial attention will be given to the Buddhist views by Mr. Jorgensen. The following week Rabbi Starrels of the Jewish reform congregation' of this city will present a discussion of Jewish Beliefs and the series will be concluded with a discussion of ths correct Christian views of life which will probably he given by Dr. John Andrew Holmes of the First-Ply mouth Congregational Church of Lincoln. "This series of discussions should be of special interest to all students who have any pretense of thoughts on the meaning of life," said Mr. Jor gesen. "We are planning the lunch eon so that there will be plenty of time for discussion and we hope that students will ask questions and start a real live discussion after the speak er has presented his views." To have more time for discussion the luncheon will start promptly at 12 o'clock and the speaker will be given a little less time than usual. Because of the necessity of know ing the number of students who will attend, no tickets will be sold after six o'clock this evening.

Few Names Omitted in Daily Nebraskan The following names were omitted from the list published in The Daily Nebraskan of those formally initiated into the' Delian Literary Society lest Monday night: Leona Davis, Albert Friedli, Ludicia Fitch and Mabel Hintz. Says He Has Language at Last accent on the last syllable; sll other words of more than one syllable on the last but one. "There are but twenty grammati cal endings to be learned by heart All nouns end in uO," all adjectives in "A," and all adverbs in "E," the rest urt used for the conjugstion of the verb. "A dictionary of 10,000 roots, with about seventy-five suffixes, forms the material of this auxiliary lang uage. The Ido dictionary thus puts at our disp U1 some 30,000 words or twice as many as Sshskespeare used. "Since the roots were all chosen from the living cultured languages, Americans and the English will rec ognize seventy-nine per cent of the words at first glance; the Germans sixty-one per cent; the French ninety-one per cent; and the Spaniards seventy-nine per cent There are no exceptions in its grammar." JUDGING TEAM WINS CONTEST Nebraska Agricultural Stu dents Beat Those of Twenty-Three Colleges. D. A. BARNES TAKES INDIVIDUAL HONORS A team consisting of five men from the University of Nebraska was awarded first honors in the collegiate livestock judging contest at the twenty-fifth International Livestock Ex position. The Nebraska team, in competition with twenty-three other state universities and agricultural colleges throughout the United States and Canada, received a total score of 4,386 out of a possible 6,000 points. This score was the composite of the five scores for individual com petition in classes of horses, cattle, sheep, and hogs. The Nebraska team received the highest final score ever made in team competition in the in tercollegiate division, fifty-five points better than last year's winner. Dorsey A. Barnes of Loretto took high individual honors in all class competition with a total of 909 out of a possible 1,000 points. Honor M. Ochner, Madison, another member of Nebraska's team, was fourth with 895 points. Both of these men are sen iors in the College of Agriculture, and both will go into the pure bred livestock industry when their college courses are completed. . This gives the Nebraska team one of the most brilliant records ever pro duced. This team, as juniors, won first honors in the national western livestock show last year. This year, before competing at the world's larg est judging contest, they received second place at both the National Swine Show at Peoria, Illinois, and the American Royal Livestock Show at Kansas City last week. The mem bers of the team are: Nat Tolman, Lincoln; Jay Hepperly, Norfolk; Dor sey Barnes, Loretto; James M. liarnes, Chicago; Honor M. Ochsner, Madison ; and two alternates, Wallace Buck, De Witt, and Clarence Fortna, Octavia. Won Oacc Bafor. - W. W. Derrick, instructor in ani mal husbandry, has coached the win ning team. Mr. Derrick graduates from the Texas Agriculture and Mechanics University in 1919. Nebraska has been in the interna tional contest every year since 1908, but only once before did the Nebras ka, team win first place. In 1919, when only twelve teams were in the competition, Nebraska won with a trpread of more than 350 points be tween first and second place. Missouri won second place in the team standing for all class scores with 4,231 points, Ohio State was third with 4,220, and Kansas State College was fourth with 4,208. In the sheep classes, W. L. Bluck, Ohio state uni versity, was awarded first honors with 248, only two points short of a perfect score, and the highest score ever turned in to the international judges. Dorsey Barnes of Nebras ka was a close second with 247 points. The judging team will remain at Chicago for several days to review the sights at the world's greatest live stock show. The faculty members who accompanied the team were: Coach W. W. Derrick; W. J. Loeffel, instructor in animal husbandry; and Professor II. J. Gramlich, head of the animal husbandry department "Y" CAMP LEADER SPENDS DAY HERE Miss Hazel Allen of New York, Interviews Girl in Ellen Smith HalL Miss Hazel Allen, of New York, national director of Y.
