EDITORIAL COMMENTS
The May music festival opens tomorrow. This annual event, which is now well on its feet, is an enterprise which deserves the support of every student in the University. The best music obtainable will be in Lawrence the last few days of this week and the kind of music that students can not afford to miss.
One thing is certain. If the Journalism School at the University of Missouri gets half as much advertising out of each edition of its paper as the School of Journalism here got from its one issue, Bryan or Taft will not be the most talked of individuals in the country next fall.
St. Mary's College played a game of base ball Sunday with Fort Riley. If it had been any other school than a denominational school a mighty yell would have gone up from the good people of Kansas lamenting the irreverence of the school.
The scrap Manager Lansdon got into at St. Louis only serves to show that Kansas more than once gets the rough end of it in trying to deal fairly in eligibility rules. It is reliably reported that one of the men who played with the Washburn team in their game here Saturday is not even a student in Washburn college.
At some places the faculty may have taken the control of athletics out of the hands of the students, but at Harvard the faculty has admitted its inability to properly control student athletics and is on the verge of giving authority of handling athletics over to the students.
The School of Journalism at the University of Missouri is next year to issue a daily paper of its own. The dean of the school is to be the editor of the paper and the students in the newspaper classes are to be the news getters. Now, as most editors who received their degree in the Journalism School of experience would say, you are becoming practical. And it does seem that the method Missouri has adopted is the best that could be devised for the teaching of the newspaper business. A paper so run by the school can be made to serve several purposes. It first serves as a news organ for the University; secondly if run on proper methods it can be made to pay part of the expenses of the Journalism School and lastly, of most importance it gives the embryo journalists an opportunity of seeing how it is done, and relieves them of the ordeal of trying to learn the newspaper business by hearsay.
As the result of the University students' disclosures all the "joints" in Lawrence have been raided. The dive keepers regard the Scoop club more in the nature of a Swoop club.- Kansas City Star.
E. B. Heinecke, Clay McKibben, George White, Arthur Lonnberg and W. W. Stahl of Topeka were guests at the Phi Delt house. White and Lonnberg are members of the Washburn ball team.

IN THE COLLEGE WORLD.
As the Pennsylvania authorities refuse to erect extra stands on Franklin field, the annual game between the Army and Navy will not take place at Philadelphia next fall. It is rumored that the game may be played at New York instead, and that both teams are highly in favor of the change.
A course in life-saving for girls is about to be instituted at Barnard College. The girls will receive the regular lifesaving drill, including the grips and breaks, towing to shore and artificial respiration. A fully clad girl will be thrown into the water at one end of the tank and other girls will be obliged to rescue her from the other end and take her back. The record for this feat at Columbia is fifty-seven seconds.
The Indiana faculty has a standing committee whose duty it is to co-operate with the students in the regulating of fraternity and sorority parties.
Following the recent semiannual examination at Annapolis it was found that twenty-six naval cadets had failed while sixty-four were deficient in one or more studies.
Wit from Washburn Review: "Completely overcome by the touching arguments of the K. U. debaters, one of the front pews in the chapel 'broke down' last Friday evening."
The Navy fencing team defeated Yale by six bouts to three in a dual meet.
Recently a down-town theatre at Ann Arbor broke a contract to stage a University production, and now a movement is on foot for the University of Michigan to buy the Majestic—the best of the local houses—and use it simply for the productions of the University.
Leland Stanford University will send a team of nine men to the Conference meet, at Chicago, June 6.
"Movin' day comes first of May" seems to be quite applicable at the University of Chicago when five fraternities had to get new homes May 1.
First citizen: Now then, I don't believe all this stuff about whiskey being sold here.
A Conversation.
Second Citizen: Neither do I. Lawrence is a mighty moral place I say. The only rowdies that cause much trouble are the K.U. students.
"Bobbie" Noyes, Walter Evans and Eugene Hipple of the German Club saw the ball game in Topeka yesterday.
