K. U. RADIO NIGHT
The Kansas day program broadcast over KPKU brought responses of appreciation from the radio audience, especially alumni. Reception was fair in most places but in other listeners strained ears to loudspeakers to catch feeble sounds from K. U., while a lull of jazz and ragtime tunes mixed with moluðiens speakers waged a battle for control of the radio channel. Of the program itself all was good. Sketches of old Kansas songs, a cheer word of greeting from loved professors, the Summerfield scholarship explanation by one of the first 10 to receive the award, a few words from the coaches, all brought back to memory of former students the days spent on Mt. Orcad and to present undergraduates a feeling of pride.
Programs such as that of Feb. 1 are a boon to the University. They inform the world of the things the University is doing in the education field. The hub-dub rush and burry of homecoming are absent and K. U. appears as she really is; more power to KFKU and future Kansas hay programs.
We had almost forgotten that zero weather was conductive to romance, until we saw a sweet young thing book fluttering up in an prospective character and chime out demurally, "Now if I fall down, you'll pick me up, won't you?"
NEED NOT LOOK AFAR
An education is not merely the knowledge cleaned through books and classroom preparation; it includes also the contacts which are made with stimulating thinkers. Provisions for a limited group to make these contacts which are acclaimed as essential to education are given by various campus organizations. But for the University group as a whole to meet and hear really worthwhile speakers or to take part in a stimulating forum there is no provision.
Open forums on the campus and the lecture course have in a measure met a much-needed phase of college life. There are those who are unable to attend forums because of the time at which they are held, however, and there is a group of students who are also unable to attend the lecture course because they are unable to afford a ticket. And the latter consideration is not to be thrust lightly aside, for the average student has so many demands upon an easily exhausted purse that anything which verges upon luxury must be excluded.
The need which arises can be met, and should be met, by more conversions for the entire student body. The speakers need not be brought from a great distance in order to be worth while. On the University campus are a number of arresting speakers. As has been demonstrated, there are men in Kansas City who have a real message for college students. Lawrence recently lost a man who was recognized outside of the state as a leader. At Manhattan is a man who was acclaimed by a group of 500 young people last summer as the most fascinating speaker among more than a
dozen noted men. Overse in Missouri is a director in a certain午局 board distinguished for his meritorious service, and so goes the list. Suck speakers could be obtained at a nominal cost, to supplement the more expensive speakers who, of course, should be continued.
Delegates to the naval conference were just settling down to business when just jumped up to see the new English dirigible, all while Mr. MacDonald was giving the opening address. We trust Mr. MacDonald explained to them that there was nothing to fear, Or, maybe it was a planned surprise!
OUR TIMES
More than a thousand years ago, when Athens and Sparta were in their glory and Aristotle was writing of efficient city-states, we have evidence of the prime importance of music, Plato would have rubed out music of high emotional quality because of its ill-effects on the listeners; it distracted the Unity and Balance of the soul. Aristotle concurred in this belief, though liberally admitting the aesthetic beauty and appeal of melody.
But it took Sparta, clock-like military machine that she was, to capitalize on this important stockholder in victories. On the march into battle, the dudes screwed vehemently and stirred the bat blood of the Lacedaemonians, batter. And it ordinarily accomplished its purpose for it was not often that the Spartans returned defeated. Their spirit was indomitable. Every schoolboy knew with what courage they held the multitudinous Persians at Thermopolon, falling to the last man because one "turned traitor." Modern psychology would credit no small measure of Sparta's military success to music!
We of the United States have not a stirring national anthem. The Star Spangled Banner embodies nothing of the national spirit. The lyrics were conceived in the tumult of war, only to be set to the tune of an old English drinking song! Even now, when the great nations of the world are met to bring "peace on earth," the words of the Star Spangled Banner, with the spirit of nationalism, are antagonistic to a peaceful state of mind. There is a third conflicting element which should arouse the love of every conscientious objector; even if we forget that the drinking song is English, still it's a drinking song and contrary to American ethics.

It seems you owe Mr. McCainles and the band an apology for the critical report of the band concert tickets that would defend a poor program, nor would he have put one on. The program as it was printed looked like a ballgame, but they time to prepare was short, they may not have been up to their standards, they deserve some charity after having given of their time and ability to serve during the football season. So the band's criticism is justified instead of appreciated.
I did not attend this concert, nor did I see the critics to which be referers. I hunted among back numbers of musicians, including McCanée's articles as a basis. However, I usually hear the spring concert of the band, and the one at comedy in the city, regularly of a light nature the well done, for at least young people who are not professionals who spend hours on the stage. I have always considered as excellent. I have not enjoyed paid concerts more and though there may be some people who are not quite out of line as I graduated from the Fine Arts School once upon a time and kept in touch with the artists, knowledge of what good music is.

However, the majority of students on the Hill have no appreciation of music. They not only do not attend wonderful things like the big chorus concerts we have had in the past five years, but they are not interested in the Minneapolis Symphony concerts enuf for the management to feel that they are warranted in bringing them to a concert. The students don't care for professionals nor non-professionals, what do they care for? The band always presents these performances and popular things well enuf mixed to suit anyone it seems, and well done. Also it is free to that lack of investment. We do not come. I have seen several of these concerts given to about half an hour each day at our venue. You may say the student is a busy person, he has to study. Most of us know how much the management and some of us have had roomers. Some of them did study hard and work their way and really self-educated. Others, who were musically inclined took in almost none of those opportunities, though they spent much time here to get an education and then

Let the students appreciate the wonderful band we have. It is far ahead of our times, but we'll be back. Attend their concert and if stimulates them do not suit you, their performance is better. The band is fully as near the professional standard of a band as the Kansas City band for some of these criticisms we have been well pleased with the Kansas

This plan calls for the reserving of a special section in the center and action, and action. Special acts will be staged in between the three regular acts of the comic opera, especially the first attempt to give the coeds their first "pledge night" party with the theater party given by fraternities.

Mexico Proves Source of Toledo Parrot Fever
F. H. ROBERTS Jeweler
Washington—Mexico was the source of one infected parrot credited with causing parrot fever in Toledo, an investigation made by the Toledo News-Bee and Science Services firm that declared federal authorities has revealed.
Federal investigators had hoped that the infection might be limited to one shipment of 300 parrots, but the disease spread quickly. Dec. 3. But the Mexican source of the Toledo infection may indicate that the disease is more widespread than previously supposed. Two other parrots were infected in New Mexico and an ease in Toledo are reported to have come from South America. None of these parrots were imported through the last commercial shipment, from Mexico, months ago from El Dorado, Tex.
Smoking is allowed in the library at the University of Minnesota, according to a statement in the Minnesota Daily.

Luncheon Meetings

SOUND-PROOF DOORS to separate the private dining rooms from the cafeteria are now being installed.
When these doors are completed three luncheon meetings can be held at the same time with no interference between them or noise from regular cafeteria service.
Installation of these sound-proof doors is just one more step taken by the Operating Committee to make the Union more useful.
Our voluntary fees make this and other similar improvements possible.
