Clavilux Program Is Music Feature for Coming Week
Thomas Wilfred, Inventor
to Appear at Robinson
in Night Recital
Wednesday
The next event which is being featured by the School of Fine Arts is the Chavliyu recital by Thomas Wilfred, Wednesday, Feb. 17, in Robinson gymnasium at 8 p. m., when Mr. Wilfred will bring to the campus his Chavliyu or color organ for a recital with form, color, and motion so underlined that compositions of individual beauty are flashed before the spectators.
Two years ago an effort was made by Dean Schweder and Dean Swarthowne to bring the Clavius here for a recital during the summer session but he did not dates available and the fee was prohibitive, so the matter was dropped.
Dan Sewartonth said today, "It was with genuine pleasure that I was able to make arrangements earlier in the season that allowed me the most unusual and satisfying enternation of its kind now in existence. Everywhere the reaction has been so favourable that critics seem at ease." He added that "the beauty of the performances."
Draws Big Crowd at Michigan
Only recently at the University of Michigan an audience of 4000 persons filled the hall to witness the Clavius recitum. Donat L. Harold, *Foster*, fourteen years old, attended at the University of Kansas and now dean of the School of Fine Arts at Syracuse University, in writing to Claudia Clavius here Monday night, packed the house, sold all the standing room we could take care of and turned away at least 400 persons. It is a wonderful event that I will see if they can possibly get in."
The scientific world has been following with keen interest the Clavius and what it promises in the field of a possible new fine art. Complete works by some of its writers can be found at Watson library in the following periodicals which will be placed at the disposal of the faculty and students by Librarian Gunther Maynard, May 125; Arts Theatre Magazine, Jan. 122; Shadowland, March, 122; International Studio, March, 122; New Republic, Jan. I1, 122; The Nation, Aug. 2, 122; The Literary Digest, Nov. 22, 122; Popular Mechanics, Auril, 124.
Letters Sent to Faculty
Letters were sent yesterday to the faculty calling special attention to the Claivash and asking for co-operation in getting before the students with correct evaluation one of the most important problems has been given on the campus recently.
Program Will Be Varied
One group of compositions is entitled "Fairy Tale Suite" and is in the color scheme of the Oriental "Orient". We fecha immediately the mystic atmosphere of the Orient in the binare colors and the unique forms. In a "Tale of the Deep Sea," the undulating motion of moving color gives an impression of drifting clouds in a mysterious, gross southern sea; while in a "Tale of the Forest" one is walking among huge trees, now and then coming upon a vista of tropical flowers or seeing tiny fairy creatures. There will also be a humorous composition as well as a graceful setting for fan art effects.
The Clavius plays in terms of light for the eye as sound is played to stimulate the aesthetic sense through the ear. With its silent compositions thrown upon a screen although apparently into infinite space, moving color and movement, depth, form, and rhythm at the command of the artist at the keyboard.
The Clavilux has been 20 years in attaining its present versatility and sensitivity. It had its first public showing in New York in 1922, Thomas Wilford is both the inventor and player of the Clavilux.
Cuts for "Puritan" Owl Are Sent to Engrave
All cats for the Puritan number of the Sour Owl which will appear Feb 28, are now in the hands of the Burger Engraving Company of Kansas City, according to George C. MeGuire c.26, editor of the magazine.
The cover design carrying out the Puritan idem is by Jack Kincaid. Jimmy O'Bryan, a free lance cartoonist of Chicago, has a page cartoon. A feature story was contributed by Brewster Morgan.
McGuire said that the greatest need now is for literary copy. The dead line is Feb. 18. The staff desires plenty of material so that they can select the best. Their aim is to make a representative of Owen K. U. humor.
Women's Organizations Select Forum Topic
"What are you interested in and what are the questions that you would like to have discussed next week?" they asked, forming a group of University women last Friday afternoon at Henley House. Dorothy Luxton, chairman of the preparation committee, working with the other staff, is getting to get an expression from a few women representing the whole as to the idea that was prevalent in re-creation."
It was decided that each woman should take back to her particular group a set of questions for informal discussion, and the answers obtained serve as a guide to the topics for the course which Doctor Fitch will conduct.
7. W. C. A. Industrial Project Will Be Belt in Chicago This Year
Junior and Senior Women May Learn Working Conditions by Experience
The annual student industrial project, under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A., will be held in Chicago this summer, according to Miss Marie Ruska. The purpose of this project is to have a limited number of college women on campus, and State spend a part of their vacation at work in the factories.
This is the sixth year of the industrial experiment, in which students have gone into industrial work during their second year. They spend six weeks in manual occupation and wage earning. The plan is neither an adventure nor self-supporting, but simply a way to get a glimpse of the situation by working in the factories.
The purpose of the project is that women may know what the women workers of the factories experience, and in this way obtain actual and concrete facts with which to study the industrial problem.
The women who work on this project will meet from time to time with an industrial secretary and make reports to her.
Qualifications which are necessary for the woman who enters the project are: Health; she must be a member of the relevant graduate group or recent graduate; she must have an elementary knowledge of the social sciences and she must have seriousness
If any woman wishes to enter this project, said Miss Russ, applications may be filed at the W. Y. C. A. office. The project manager is Annela Belle Pringle, of K. U., entered this project several years ago when it was held in Denver. Asse George expects to enter the student industrial work this summer, according to Miss Russ.

stated, and will relate her experiences

St. Valentine Wrote No Love Songs; Still We Celebrate His Martyrdom Annual
The custom of sending messages of love and sentiment on Feb. 14 did not originate with St. Valentine, the nun who, uniquely the Kansas City Star explains,
"St. Valentine had nothing to do with the custom of the day named for him," the article states, "This business of sending bits of face paper and sweet sentiments 'just started' andrew like Topsy."
Many explanations are given by writers and students as to how the custom originated. One writer on the subject says:
"St. Valentine wrote no love songs he was a bishop or pope of Rome who stood steadfast to the faith during persecutions and was thrown into狱.
"He was beaten with clubs, then in headed. His remains are preserved in the church of St. Praxeedes at Rome A gate of the town, now known as the Porta del Ponix, formally was named Valentine Gate or Valentinien or Valentine Gate."
There was another ancient church man who often is said to be the patron of Valentine, but this writer scoffs at the connection. The bishop, he explains has several claims to fame, but not one has any connection with chying sentiments.
Bishop Valentine once healed a son of Craton, the rhetorician. The church man met his death by choking on it and was killed in the same attack; he prized him to him to cure epilepsy.
Bailley, the first of the great Engl lich lexicographers, the historian found, had a reason all his own for the origin of the day. It will be found in his dictionary of 1721, and is predicated solely on the premise that Vulen

In 1807 Francis Douet suggested that Valentine day is a Christianized form of celebration of the classic Idiocracy, whose feasts in Rome during February.
This was a pagen ceremony, amence was not in very high favor with the girls. I had them signierten of writing the names of young women on something or other and putting them into a box. Young men drew out the names and then chased their names across the room, wishing to totally destroy the ceremony, subluted the names of saints for the names of young women, and St. Valentine got mixed up some way
In 1869 in England, on St. Valentine day it was the custom for young men and women to recite a poem to or at each other when they chanced to meet. The one that got it out first got a present. It was this:
That custom died out, however. It was not recorded why it became unpopular.
