DON'T NEGLECT MUSICAL APPRECIATION.
The tickets for the annual May music festival are now on sale and every student in the University should buy one of them. An appreciation and a knowledge of first class vocal and instrumental music is a part of a liberal education. Some of the best musical talent to be obtained will play at the University on May sixth and seventh. This year the audience should be made up largely of students. Heretofore the people of the town have outnumbered the students at such entertainments. The student body should cultivate a taste for the best in everything and should at least let their interest in a great musical treat equal the interest of the down town citizens. A person does not have a well rounded education unless he can appreciate something higher than "rag time" in music.
The subscription party held last Saturday night advertised the fact that Harry Kelley of Kansas City would play. And the young promoters who engineered the financial end of the deal advertised aright. Harry Kelley played, and he played alone, without the dull blasts of the wind instruments or the screeching music of the stringed instruments to interrupt or color the melodious music of the piano. The two hundred dancers present should not be dissatisfied because Kelley's orchestra did not furnish the music. Piano music alone is better to dance to any way, and besides the geniuses who gave the party must have something for their efforts.
The Kansas base ball team took two games from Nebraska with comparative ease and it is now assured that the Jayhawkers will be lively contenders for the conference base ball championship. If Coach Ebright can only whip his men into a little better shape, make
their fielding a little surer and their hitting a little safer Kansas has a good chance to take a third championship in one year.
Kansas lost the Missouri debate in Columbia on Saturday night. Those Tigers can sure talk and run if they are not much force at other things.
