Letters to the Editor
Student rights in the Student Union Building are in peril. It is time for something to be done about it. Just as it would be humiliating to win the war and lose the peace, so it is to sacrifice needlessly and stupidly culture and the things for which this war is being fought.
The Carnegie Foundation gave the Student Union a magnificent Lyon and Healy record player and a fine, varied collection of records for the benefit of the students of the University of Kansas. Some of the students would like to take advantage of this excellent opportunity to hear great music. It is practically the only opportunity some of the underprivileged students ever have to listen to records.
What actually happens though is entirely different. Several times every week dinners are scheduled in the Old English room. In spite of the fact that all day long until evening the announcement that the Music room is open appears on the Union Bulletin board, the hostess always informs students who made a special effort to use the record collection that the Music room is never open on evenings that dinners are scheduled in the Old English room.
Due to war emergencies the former Music room was converted into an Officer's Club which is perfectly all right. The Old English room was supposedly made the Music room from 7:30 to 9:30 week day nights excepting Saturdays and on Sunday afternoons from 2:30 to 5:00. Such a plan if it were carried out in practice would be entirely acceptable to all students interested in the Music room.
Such a policy rather discourages students interested in music from ever making use of the superb Lyon and Healy record player. Perhaps since
the management's policy is so unappreciative of the Carnegie gift that it should be taken from under their jurisdiction.
A compromise might be made. There are usually recitals Monday evenings, so it might be a good plan to have the Music room open four nights a week without fail—Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 7:30 to 9:30. The Old English room could be used Saturday, Sunday, and Monday but no other evenings in the week for dinners.
The people who want to schedule dinners on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thurdays, and Friday evenings in the Old English room could do their entertaining in their own private homes or downtown or somewhere else on those evenings.
If having the Music room open four nights a week were to hinder the war effort, there might be some excuse for the present state of affairs. It seems, however, only to demonstrate poor management. During these war times with the added strain of stepped up schedules and no vacations, students need added rather than subtracted recreational facilities. That is supposed to be the function of the Student Union.
Students need vitamins not contained in bottles. Music is certainly as essential for mental health as Popeye's spinach for his muscles.
