"House of Magic" Proves
Fact Stranger Than Fiction
Have you ever seen a train
that obeys spoken commands or
a match which lights an electric
lamp? Did you know that a man
can shake hands with his own
shadow or light a lamp from a
current passing through his
arms?
Demonstrations of. these and
many more mystifying things
make up the "House of Magic,"
the General Electric company's
science show, which will be pre
sented at 7:30 p. m. on Dec. 8 in
the Union ballroom. Actually,
this pleasant combination of en
tertainment and information is
not magic at all, but proof that
sober scientific fact can be
stranger than fiction.
Demonstrates Electric Charges
Research in science has uncov
ered many marvelous things
about electricity. The "House of
Magic" demonstrates some of
these, how they were found, and
how they are being used. The
show, while it should prove of
particular interest to engineer
ing students, is open to the entire
student body. It can be easily
appreciated by all members of
the audience, no matter what

previous scientific training they
may have had. There will be no
admission charge.
The new "House of Magic is
the latest version of the show
which has played before approxi
mately 13 million students, adults
and service men since 1933,
when it was first given at the
Chicago Century of Progress
World's Fair.
The magic is never deception.
Even "The Man Who Shakes
Hands With His Shadow" is not
a trick, but a demonstartion of a
scientific fact the principle of
light persistence. Each act of the
show is as the speaker always
points out "the truth of science !
as nearly as nature has revealed .
it to us." j
As the opening demonstration, j
the audience sees one of the new i
silicones a substance called j
"bouncing putty," which can be j
pulled like taffy and kneaded '
like bread dough, yet when rolled j
into a ball bounces as high as
rubber.
Words Move Train
The train that obeys spoken
commands can't understand the
speaker but it is able to count
the number of syllables. Any
three will make it come forward.
Two will cause it to reverse and
a ringle syllable turns the
motor off altogether.
Lighting an electric lamp with
a match is easy if you have a
Dhototube, better known as an
electric eye. The phototube 'sees"
the match's light and passes cur
rent. This current, moving
mrougn a small ampiuier, aciu-:
dies a reiay, causing tne lamp i
to light. The versatility of the i
electric eye also enaDles the lee- .
turer to demonstrate that light
j can actually be heard and that
! music tan be sent on a light
' beam as readily as along a wire
or bv means of radio waves.

Formal dinner parties
were
numerous Friday night before the
respective balls. Parties of four or
crowds of 18 or 20 gathered at
many a night spot, some arriving
at the dance late, some not at all.
The Colonial Cup was the scene
of some ten parties. Sitting in the
Phi Gam section was Chuck Thone
with his best girl, Marilyn Sam
uelson, while farther on were the
Kappa Sig boys with Bob Wal
lace and Jo Hansen. And the
happy ATO's were well represent
ed by Ted Randolph with Carol
j Shipman and the rest
Seen on the long- trail of 25th
and O St at 7 p. m. was a lone
hitch-hiker making his way
snail-like, to gayely and the
Yum-Yum Hut. This personage
was later identified as Chuck
Ilemmingson who had nobody
due to the cruelty of Julie Math
bone. And at Atmosphere Sandy's was
Bill Gohde with Hastings girl
Shirley Evans. Gordon Luhrs and
Mary Travis, Gene Flynn and
Mary Marshall, Don Clements and I
Lois Larson partied at Lone Oaks. I
Of course, there was a goodly j
crowd at the Italian Village (not.
to be confused with Kitty Clover
Potatoe Chips) including newly i
Dinned Roe Ritter and Marlrne
Hill. Bill Beekler and Pat Wie-!
land, Dick Michakk and Margaret
Muecheites. ,
The new innovations con
trived for the Military Ball
proved quite successful. All eyes
were on Colonel Harris during
a unique presentation. Under
especially jovial circumstances
were Lois Gobar and Bob Rob
inson,. Laurel Linch and Harold
Bower.
And as for the other small get
together at Kings, many of the
late arrivals found it necessary
to dance on the tables. An out
standing example of this was six
left-overs from the AGR affair

Sportsmanship
If everyone in the University had the same satirical
attitude about sportsmanship that Friday's Letterip author
had, we probably would have a great deal of difficulty even
hiring basketball officials.
The author of that letter seems to think that we have
had "atrocious" officiating at our games. What he forgets
is that the officials Nebraska hires are all well-known and
! reliable or they would not
can have an "off day just as anyone else can. It s no easy
task to see every little rule infraction made by the players.
In fact, if the officials were to blow their whistles every
time a rule is broken, the games would last far into the
night.
The author also forgets that the referees are on the
floor with the players and are in a much better position to
see the rule infraction. The fan is sitting away from the
action and cannot possibly see the game as the officials do.
This is why so many fans burst forth with loud boos and.
referee-name-calling tantrums when a foul is called.
Perhaps editorials on sportsmanship do get tiresome.
But if the, fans .and there were university students in
cluded) who threw snowballs at the officials during the
Missouri football game had any conception of sportsman
ship, they would never have acted in such a childish
manner. It was certainly a display of poor sportsmanship,
and it probably did little to gain any friendship for us from
the referees. And it may be a good idea to have the of
ficials at least on friendly terms with us once in a while.

Enrollment
Slightly more than half of the
total enrollment at the Univer
sity of Nebraska is comprised of
veterans of World War II final
figures for the current semester
showed Friday.
Comparison of the total enroll
ment for the past two years show
that there is a slight decline in
veteran enrollment. Actual totals
were 5.110 in 1948. 5.481 in 1947
and 6.549 in 1946.
Male students outnumber
women better than four to one
this fall. The pre-war ratio was
slightly better than two men for
every woman.
Dr. G. W. Rosenlof, director of
admissions, announced that the
total enrollment for the current
semester is 10.073, just 89 stu
dents below the record set in
the fall of 1947. The 1946 total
was 9,6,48, the pre-war average
6,500.
Enrollment for 1948-1949 of
unduplicated names is expected
to reach the all-time high of
12.200, he added.
Enrollment by classes:
Freshmen, 2,913; sophomore,
1.462; juniors, 2,251; seniors,
1,864; unclassified, 116; student
at large, 66; graduate and pro
fessional, 1,401.
