UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
MUST BACK CONCERTS
Dean Butler Says Students Should Boost Musical Classics
The reputation of the University of Kansas as a school with a high standard of art appreciation and the complete abandonment of the annual University Concerts Courses are at stake this year, in the opinion of Harold L. Butter, dean of the School of Fine Arts.
"This year is the crucible one," said Dean Butler. "It has been decided that if we cannot gain sufficient support to make the concerts pay with the
$1,000 which the University appropriates that the concert course must be abandoned. I am sure this would give me a black eye among other state universities."
The concert courses were furnished the student body last year at a loss of $700. Not over 400 students bought season tickets. Two thirds of them were from other towns where were town people. This indifference on the part of the student body leaves open the question whether these concerts are worth the trouble and expense, the dean believes. "Last year," he continued, "when Harold Bauer, a music professor, played in the Gym, more students went to the movies that evening than came to hear him. We pay Martinelli $1,000 in hard cash; you can hear him
for thirty cents, the price of three movies. In New York when he sings at the Metropolitan, the best seats are $6.00 each.
"I think you will agree with me, that it is almost as necessary to have a first class concert course as a first class football team. If we can get the support of the students we would have the Robinson Gymnastics packed out and our reputation for fine music and widely extended is as that of Oberlin, Ann Arbor, Northwestern, or even Lindsborg."

Excuse Us - Our "Bone"
Why, of course, you're not going into the city this week-end. You're going to stay right here in Lawrence and watch those Jayhawks go through and around that Normal line for a few of those little old touchdowns that will spell the first Kansas victory.
When we announced that a special car would run Friday afternoon if enough reservations were made, we didn't think about that game. But you can make reservations any time now for next Friday. The team will be in Urbana and you'll have lots of time to loaf and study.
The train will leave at 3:15 Friday afternoon—providing enough reservations are received before Wednesday evening at 9:30—and will not make the customary stops.
