Concert Given By State Prison Band Is Well Received
NUMBER 35
Appreciation of The Student Body Amounted to An Ovation For
Men
A program of classical music by noted composers, interspersed with bits of jazz as encores, played by Herb's State Band of thirty pieces from the penitentiary at Lansing, was the feature of today's all-University convocation in Robinson Gymnasium.
"We are proud of the traditions and history of Kansas," said Chancellor E. H. Lindley in introducing the band, "And we are proud of the way Kansas law deals with men who are in the courts for justice; theirs is a spirit of firmness and yet of humanity."
"Great progress is being made at Lansing in the training and equipping of prisoners for work after they are released.
Chancellor Lindley introduced the superintendent of the state prison, M. F. Amrine.
Your Appreciate Sense
“This band,” said the superintendent in instruction, “is my music musics, “ is an organ to achieve music success. Every man in this organization has learned to master and inter pret musical terms.”
Men Appreciate Music
"Ninety percent of the inmates of the state penitentiary are subject to training and reformation. We have 1200 men there, and but seventy of them are "illers". That means that no less than a thousand are coming to prison every year, and then them for that eventual return, so that they can be better citizens."
"The concerts at the prison help to break the drab monotony of prison life within those walls, and the citizens of the state should not begrudge the men the pleasure of hearing good music."
Of the eight clarinet players in the penitentiary band, only two of them had touched an instrument up to twelve months ago. In the interval they have fully masted their instruments.

"That takes pluck, grit, and deter-
mination," continued the superinten-

against him. It is good moral discline."
