Eight teams will enter the third
round Saturday morning as a result
of this week's games, and the winners
of the four third round games will
clash in the semi-finals early next
week. The finals will be played eith
er next Wednesday or Thursday.
The Kappa Sig Omega Beta Pi
game yesterday was close and hard
fought Play was slow in the first
half but quickened in the last period.
Omega Beta Pi threatened in the last
half when Burnhim got behind the
Kappa Sig defense and tossed a bas
ket, making the score 12-11 in favor
of the- Kappa Sigs. Ross got a free
throw on a technical foul and made
the count 13-11, where it stood at
the end of the game.
The Acacia Alpha Sig tilt was
fast and exciting in the firsj half
but the Acacia team pulled away in
the last period. Play was slow and
careful on both sides. Twelve min
utes of the fifteen minute half rolled
by before a score was made.
Rathsack and Rosenquist did the
scoring for the winners. Time after
time the Acacias got loose, but poor
goal shooting prevented them from
scoring. Mann, Alpha Sig, made the
only scores for the losers. The sum
maries: Acacia-Alpha Sigma Phi.

GIVES ADDRESS
ON AMENDMENT
Prof. J .O. Hertzler Tells Wom
en's League About Child
Labor Move.
SAYS LAW NOW WASTES
AMERICA'S SEED CORN
Prof. J. O. Hertzler, instructor of
sociology of the University of Ne
braska, spoke on the proposed child
League of Women Voters in a meet
ing held in the Temple Theater, yes
terday at 5 o'clock. The speaker
was introduced by Katheryn Kneg.
"What are you going to do; place
first an old political tradition or the
welfare of two million children, citi
zens of the United States and the
fathers and mothers of the next gen
eration?" asked Professor Hertzler.
"You call yourself intelligent voters,
what are you doing about it? As the
law now stands, you are wasting
America's seed corn, morally, men
tally, physically, industrially and fi
nancially."
Professor Hertzler produced facts
to prove that the country was losing,
not gaining by the use of child labor.
During the year of the great labor
'lump one million and a half men
thrown out of work because of
the use of child labor. No one will
employ a man whom it is necessary
to pay $15 a week, at least, if he
can have the same work done just
aj well for $3.50 the average child's
weekly wage.
"Why is child labor bad? In order
to answer this Question we must look
at the cost of child labor," declared
the professor. He illustrated his
point by showing how child labor de
prives the heads of families of work,
destroys the health of the child,
makine him unfit to take a place in
the world except as a manual labor
er, fills the jails and juvenile courts,
and increases the percentage of ac
cidents.
Clavilux. New Instrument, Makes
Possible Use
The Clavilux, an instrument in
vented by the artist-craftsman,
Thomas Wilfred, who will play it at
the City Auditorium on Tuesday,
December 16, has for the first time
made possible the use of light as a
fine art in that it has placed form,
color, and motion at the command of
the artist seated at its keybord.
There are three principle factors
in the art oi souna-music: meioay.
harmony and rythm. Any one of
these factors with out the other
would not make music and so, in
dealing with light the mere use of
color, projected in changing hues
upon a screen without form and
rhythmic motion, does not make pos
sible an art of light
In fact, the experimenter says
that color is the least important fac
tor. The all-important thing is the
harnessing of form, texture, depth,
and rythmic motion in light and
shade. These factors once mastered,
the introduction of color into the
composition means but the selection
of a set of pure filters.
It is said that the remarkable
three dimensional projection princi
ple of the Clavilux, through which
an ordinary flat white screen can be
made to look, like a window, into
unlimited space in which light forms
float out, away from the spectator
for miles and miles before they fi
nally disappear, has thus opened the
is show irs he dcec
notupA an that thev nsv bf
in their
posture so that they may be partial
ly corrected before Christmas.
Out of 002 freshmen and newly
entered sophomore women in the de
partment of physical education only
sixteen have A posture, 213 with B,
559 with C. and 114 with D. All
girls with a D posture are to be given
a special conference with one of the
instructors of physical education, in
order that they may know explicitly
what their defects are and how they
may be corrected. After the Christ
mas vacation C posture girls will be
given private conferences.
The idea of eood posture is being
impressed upon the minds of girls in
physical education classes. Pictures
of posture defects will be shown.
Talks on remedial exercises will be
given. In the Individual Gymnasium
classes twenty hours a week are giv
en to posture work.
It is hoped that a special examina
tion of girls taking posture work can
be riven in the spring so that the im
provement can be definitely proven.
With the aid of a schmetograpn an
girls could be given a picture show
ing their defects. The department of
physical education hopes to have such
an instrument soon.

ONE-ACT PLAYS
WILL BE GIVEN
Dramatic Department Presents
Five Productions Tuesday,
December 16.
The dramatic department of the
University will present five one-act
plays Tuesday, December 16, begin
ning at 2:30 at the Temple theater.
"Op-O-Mi-Thumb," in which Mis
Frances McChesney takes the leading
role is the first one. Mr. Herbert
Yenne, head of the dramatic depart
ment in the absence of Miss Howell,
says that it is one of the strongest
character parts which has ever been
played here.
'The Minuet." the second, is a cos
tume play of the colonial period.
"The Bishop's Candlesticks," a
play taken from a portion of Victor
Hugo's, "Les Miserables," will be the
next
"Bridges," an ultra-modern play,
will also be played.
"Noble Lord," the last, is a light
English comedy.
The part of Penfield Parker, Jr.,
in "Bridges" will be played by Lowell
Miller instead of James Miller as was
previously announced.
of Light as an Art
gate to a new world of beauty where
nnthintr was before the Art of
Light
The influence of coler on temper
ament has long been known. Mr.
Wilfred, inventer of the Clavilux,
has said in regard to this subject:
"A flaming red wallpaper im
printed with dull red flower pat
terns has caused more unhappi
ness than I care to think of."
"People often wonder why they
do not feel happy in a certain room,
why they become nervous and ugly
and fight with others," Mr. Wilfred
continued, "And yet if I were to tall
them that their wallpaper was the
reason, they would. I suppose, all
laugh at me and go on living under
the daily influence of those terrible
colors, and keep on wondering what
was the matter with them."
"If I. with my Clavilux, can with
in a lew minutes, bring my specta
tors from a state of uneasiness to
comfort and back to uneasiness, if I
choose, it stands to reason that the
color of the room in which yon spend
an average of three hours a day can
grind your nerves considerably in
one year.
Critics in all parts of the country
have hailed the Clavilux as opening
up a new realm of art and its inven
tor. Thomas Wilfred, has received
