Nebraska Wins Second Game 7-5
Kansas Errors Prove Costly as Cornhuskers Take Series; Dohrmann Hits Home Run
Errors again proved costly to the Jayhawkers as the Nebraskans combined four hits with four errors in the fourth inning to score four runs and erase a 2 to O Kansas lead. The Jayhawkers had scored first, in the second inning when they sent two runs across the plate.
The Nebraska nine made it two straight over the Jayhawks by defending them 7 to 5 before a small crowd yesterday afternoon. The Huskers scored in the fourth, sixth and ninth innings to gain the victory. Kansas scored in the second ard four innings.
The Huskers came back to score two more in the sixth and one in the ninth while Kansas finished its game with two runs in the fourth innning.
Cadwalader stole second; and Napier sent an infield hit down the third base line that scored Holom and advanced Cadwalader to third. At this point Nebraska huddled around the pitcher behind the mound and talked the situation over.
Kansas came to but in its half of the second inning and started innocently enough. Anderson fouled out to Amen, at first base for Nebraska, and Holom walked. Cadwalader, up for the first time, got his first and only hit of the game when he singled a three-and-two pitch to right field, advancing Holom to third.
Runs Into Shortstop
After play was resumed, Napier stole second and Thomas singled. Napier, going to third, ran into the shortstop trying to field Thomas' ball. Napier, crossing the field with Cadwalader crossing the plate and everyone was safe.
Immediately, the whole Nebraska team poured onto the field arguing that the shortstop had been inferred with in fielding the ball. Umpire Bice finally called Napier and sent Cadwalder back to third base. Cadwalder scored the second run a few minutes later on a double steal before Thomas was trapped between first and second.
McNally had kept the Nebraska nine well in check up to the fourth

Labor Bill
A. F. of L. Head Urges
House Petition; May Be
Election Issue
Washington, May 3. — (UP)—President William Green of the American Federation of Labor tonight threw his full support behind proponents of the embattled wage and hour bill with a personal appeal it could be to sign a petition to blast the measure out of the hostile rules committee.
Green sent personal telegrams to all representatives shortly after he conferred with an 11-man group representing the House wages and hour steering committee, which is attaching to solidly support for the
The steering committee will call on John L. Lewis, chairman of the C.I. O., tomorrow for similar support.
Members of the steering committee admitted that they are out to bring all possible pressure on wavering members who have shied away from the bill because of lukewarm reaction from their constituents. They also are saying frankly, in corroboration of President Roosevelt's inferential statement yesterday, that failure to vote on the bill will make it a ranking issue in the coming election.
Various means of putting the "umph" or human interest in pictures were discussed by Edward N Doan, assistant professor of journalism, last night in a talk to the K. U Camera Club.
Doan Discusses 'Umph' in Photos
Other speakers present were Bil Postma, c38, president, and Oren C Bingham, director of the photographic bureau.
The speakers urged those present to enter the Camera Club photographic competition exhibition, for which photographs, pictorial, candid and news, are now being received. Pictures may be turned in until May 6, between 2 and 5 p.m. each day, in the photographic bureau, which may be reached by the outside gateway from May 8. The exhibition will be held in the Memorial Union building, from May 8 to 15.
An entry fee of 25 cents is being charged for each entry of one to five pictures. The fee must accompany each entry when submitted.
Hobby Horses
And Cuddly Dolls
Take Spotlight
Francing hobby horses, cuddly dolls, and stuffed animals were or display in room 110 in Fraser hal yesterday.
These toys were made by students in child-care classes under the supervision of Miss Fern Hotton assistant professor of home economics. They are made from inexpensive material that otherwise would not have been utilized. Stray blocks of wood, a few feet of cloth, or empty tin cars, have been transformed with a little preparation and an innovative toy that will delight the pre-school age child. The educational value of toys in the development of the child was emphasized in the display.
Some toys that caught the eye were an airplane, a red wheelbarrow and trailer, a woolly pekinese dog, and a pungent plump. A steam engine and a drum surprised the boys in the room. A peg board, doll cradle, a musical stool, and others made up the rest of the 75 to 100 toys on display.

Curiosity Draws Crowd To Clavilux Color Organ Recital Features Lights on a Translucent Screen Program Is Praised
By Bob Beeler, c'40
Curiosity last night drew the largest concert course crowd to Hoech auditorium since the Heifetz concert, to see Thomas Wilfred's clavalure. They were amazed by witness something different, and left not just sure what it had seen.
Before opening his program Wilfred made a short explanation of his new art, "lumia," and of the color organ.
A clavius, it seems, is a translucent screen slightly smaller than the average motion picture screen, with a lightness of all colors played on it, from behold.
The first number was "Horizontal Study." It resembled a picture of an ocean sunset in motion, with changing colors, clouds and waves. The second composition, "Eliptical Study," ventured into the pure abstract. The last number before the intermission, "Orientale," was also abstract, the first half giving the image a deflating unfolding, the second rather like a jumble of bright colored insect wings and less under a microscope.
"Black and White," after the intermission, featured the constant movement of a white splash in the center of the screen and of two men running across each side. Most of the number had a slightly out-of-focus effect.
The "Study in Depth" was another pure abstraction with too many different colors on the screen at the same time. The "Enchanted Forest" was a modernistic variation of a silhouette of tree trunks with a varicolored系 and disproportionate ghosts floating in the foreground.
The closing number, "Spira Etude," was most remarkable of all. It was the movement of two small hands, one with a wide color, size, and somewhat in shape.
The whole recital, with the exception of "Black and White," displayed colors of spectroscopic purity, with ever varying forms and flowing motion. Movements seemed somewhat reactionary, but still graceful with no quick changes. The illusion of a third dimension often was created.
"It was wonderful," said Karl Martin, assistant professor of drawing and painting. "To appreciate it one must turn his imagination loose. It trenunciously since I first saw a recital several years ago."
"the spectators who see it now",
said Dr. R. H. Wheeler, professor of psychology, "like it in proportion to the number of familiar forms they can read from a sense in fluid motion is not yet connected with the emotions."
Dean Ivan C. Crawford of the School of Engineering and Architecture spoke last night at a meeting of Phil Delta Kappa, men's education; fraternity, in Oren Training School He discussed the engineering curriculum, bringing out various tendencies toward five- or six-year curricula in engineering, but expressing his own opinion that the four-year course is sufficient for a thorough professional training.
"It is a development harmonizing with the abstract time we have been through, an effort to create harmony of form, color and motion. The art already has some following, and it is impossible to predict its future. It is comparable to abstract and surrealistic painting." Last night's recital was the third Doctor Wheeler had seen.
Showing the clavium before . . .
present-day audience, said Doctor
Wheeler, might be compared to
playing a symphony before savages

Discusses Possibility of Marriage Courses and New Rules
The W.S.G.A. met last night in the women's lounge of the Memorial Union building. The council first discussed the marriage lectures that have been given for the past few weeks. It was suggested that a new curriculum would be offered next semester. This would be given to mixed classes.
Barbara Humphrey, c38, last year's vice-president, gave a report on which the rules committee has been working for the past year. The committee consists of Doris Stockwell, c39, Katherine Faun, fa39, and Barbara Humphrey. These rules were discussed, and were found to be an improvement over the present rules, some of which seem hard to interpret, unreasonable, and unapplicable to women students.
It was voted to send flowers to Lemora Grizzell, ed 41, whose uncle was killed in an accident while Lawrence to attend Parents' Day.
Student Union Board Meets
Proctor Richie gave a brief report on the meeting of the day before, and Jeannette January read the names of the committee heads that were appointed at the meeting. A committee chairman also came out of these committee chairmen.

Jim Bounds gave a report of his trip to Oklahoma and his observations of the Student Union building there. Mr. Henry Werrier, chairman of the Union Operating Committee, showed plans that had been drawn for the building of a new room on the southeast side of the top floor. This room is to be financed by the class gifts given in previous years, and can be used as one large dining room or a separate room with 50 people each. The room seemed to be approved, except the wall finishing, which was supposed to be plaster. Suggestions were made that the room either have paneling around the sides, or be treated in a modern way.

Senate Votes Huge Naval Increases
U. S. Now May Bulla World's Biggest Warships Program To Cost $1,157,000,000
Washington, May 3.—(UP) The Senate today approved President Roosevelt's $1,157,000,000 naval expansion program, placing the United States in the van of the greatest international scramble for sea power in world history. The vote was 56 to 28.
The measure empowers this government to surpass the reacrearm progress of other nations with construction of the most powerful warships ever floated. However, it precludes the possibility of the United States' precipitating a race of superwars by limiting the size of future battle ships and ensuring that unless it is determined that foreign powers are building in excess of treaty restrictions.
Construct. Scream-Dreambusters.
In the latter event, the United States will be authorized to construct super-dreadnaughts of 45,000 armed with deadly 18-inch guns. Such vessels never before have been contemplated. The authorization to build them is regarded as a direct warning to the rest of the world that the United States will more than match their naval might if the lid is completely blown off the present building race.
Voting for the bill were 49 Democrats and 7 Republican. Voting against the bill were 17 Democrats, 7 Republican, 2 independents, and 2 Farmer-Laborists. Included among the opposition was Senator Arthur Capper, Republican, of Kansas.
Total Results of Voting
Total Results of Voting
Opponents of the expansion program charged that President Roosevelt had embarked on a new and dangerous foreign policy that required a super navy for "power diplomacy," and warned that such a policy would lead the United States along the road to war.
The expansion bill authorizes a 20 per cent increase over treaties limits in the fleet's fighting strength and a 50 per cent increase in the size of the air corps. It provides specifically for construction of 46 combat vessels to be built under the new minimum of 550 airplanes to give the naval at least 3,000 first-line planes
Upon completion of this program, the composition of the United States fleet, including only under-age modern vessels, would be 18 battlecruisers, 16 heavy cruisers, 28 light cruisers, 14 destroyers and 56 submarines.

To Try Again
Second Election To B Without Fee; Perthap Minus Skullduggery
The election, scheduled on "School of Business Day," last Thursday, will be held today be-
cause the school is holding noon and from 1 o'clock until 4.
"Both parties, Commerce and Coalition, were responsible for the happenings at the polls last Thursday," asserted the dean. "I have asked them to retain nominated officers."
The slates for the parties include Coalition—Ralph Elson, b39, president; Harold Snyder, b39, vice-president; Clark Meyers, b39, secretary; and Bill Gossage, b39, treasurer. Commerce—Harry Brown b40, president; Morton Jones, b39, vice-president; Lorraine Pyle, b1c, secretary; and Keith Day, b39, treasurer.
School of Business students unanimously voted Monday against the 25-cent fee, which has been a requisite of voting in that school for the past 13 years, because of children from Coalition and Commerce parties were accused of paying the franchise for indifferent students
The reason for the second election may also cause other changes in the constitution of Associated Students of the School of Business. The elections have hinted that the party system of election will not be retained
