　　My Thoughts on the University Arts Festival

　　For our university's arts festival, I think that the university should hold open competitions and auditions¹ for anyone who wants to take part in the festival's exhibitions and performances. This would not only increase general interest in and appreciation² for the arts, but would also be a good way for our university to show its support for the arts.

　　This arts festival is an excellent opportunity to remind everyone that arts are important for everyone to appreciate and take part in, regardless of major.

　　I think that there should be general, open auditions and competitions in all the major arts. There should be categories for painting and sculpture; classical, folk and modem³ dance; and instrumental and choral groups, both large and small. The judges should be joint⁴ committees made up of both faculty⁵ and Students, both experts in the field and novices⁶. Arranging the festival in this way will, I believe, give our student body a greater enjoyment⁷ of the arts, a break from studies and a fuller appreciation for what it means to be human.
