A DIFFERENCE WITH GOOD RESULTS.
The first election of school representatives to the student council to be held next Thursday is to be a success. The engineering school, the college and the medical school have many nominations in and there is sure to be a lively scramble for the places and a notly contested election. The council once started is bound to prove a success and by abolishing the residence qualifications of council officers the law school will be conciliated and will doubtless elect representatives. The present attitude of the law school towards the council has resulted in all University students taking a livelier interest in the idea and more discussion is going on right now than ever before. The small, temporary breach between the schools has done more good than students realize and in a couple of weeks when the discriminations against the laws are removed the different schools will fall on each other's necks and enter into a fellowship and brotherhood tempered and made more firm by the recent slight differences.
The Junior prom this year was, as predicted, the best affair of its kind ever given at the University. The service, the farce, the lighting effects, the music and the supper excelled former attempts and the only objection to the mammoth formal function was that it was too successful. The crowd was too large to insure comfortable dancing. After this, if interest in the prom persists, measures will have to be taken to keep the attendance within bounds in order to insure perfect service and perfect social conditions.
The Jayhawkers are able to put up a pretty fair article of baseball against the Conference teams, but against the smaller state colleges the brand of ball they put up is of the very shady
variety. The team this year will finally make a good one, everyone believes, and Kansas has an excellent chance to get another Conference championship. The team will gradually grow steadier and the outlook is not at all discouraging.
People from all over this section of Kansas appreciate and attend the May Music Festival. The students of the University themselves have heretofore not been sufficiently interested in the big affair. This year the best talent obtainable in the United States will be here and the students cannot afford to miss such a rare treat.
