Newspaper Week--the majority of the people are ignorant, and as a result follow their emotions rather than their intellect. Miss Whitfield stressed the high emotional state of the natives due largely to their encompassing religion.
Press Rallies Nation In Huge War Campaign
National Newspaper Week opens today with newspaper boys shouting the sale of defense stamps on street corners an extensive scrap metal drive, led by the press, and emphasized publicity on a free press in war time. "The Newspapers Go All-Out for Victory" is the theme of the first wartime observance of National Newspaper Week, which will continue until Oct 8.
When the government sent out an SOS for scrap metal, the press took up the Campaign, and by Sept. 24, more than 1,600 newspapers had already pledged their cooperation. The Newspapers' United Metal Scrap Drive Committee has set a goal of 100 pounds per capita. Newsboys Sell Stamps
Scrap metal collection will not be the only war work of the newspapers; publishers will redouble their efforts to increase sales of war bonds and stamps during Newspaper Week. In celebration of National Newsboy Day on Saturday, the newsboys of America will endeavor to increase their sale of war stamps. Their goal for the week is $5,000,000 in war stamps.
In observing the third annual Newspaper Week, the press will carry out the formal observances in addition to emphasizing the importance of free newspapers in wartime. Many of the nation's papers will add a patriotic touch by floating the American flag on their front pages.
Organizations both inside and outside the newspaper publishing field are cooperating in the celebration. Enlisted for promotion of the observance are civic clubs, advertising agencies, publishers' representatives, trade journals, press associations, wire services, commercial houses, and radio stations.
Aid in Many Drives
Stories and illustrated material directing attention to the part which newspapers are playing in the sale of war bonds and stamps are to be carried during the week. A report recently issued by the Pennsylvania Newspaper Publishers' Association shows that the newspapers have helped in all of the war programs, including rationing, conservation of metals and fats, selective service, morale, blackouts, sale of bonds and stamps, scrap drives, tax problems, USO funds, the Red Cross, rubber, gasoline and fuel oil savings, share-the-ride clubs, nutrition programs, and Army-Navy relief.
Nearly all newspapers will pay tribute to former employees who have entered the armed services. Since the beginning of selective service in October, 1940, a total of 15-876 men and women have left their jobs on 1,251 daily papers. Those in the service are being backed up by an additional 2,153 men and women who have taken government jobs, making a total of 18,029 who have left newspaper jobs for the war effort.
The idea for Newspaper Week was born in Pennsylvania 11 years ago, but only in the past 3 years has it become an annual event.

Student Tells Class Of 14 Years In India
Helen Whitfield, a student here from England, who spent 14 years in India, discussed various aspects of Indian life with students in Prof. John Virtue's English literature class yesterday morning. She answered questions relative to Macaulay's essay, "Lord Clive," which the class just finished reading, as well as questions on present day India. the majority of it
Miss Whitfield lived in the Punjab region in Northern India. Her chief contacts with Indians, therefore, were with Mohammedans rather than Hindus. She told the class that religion in India is the basis for rioting, wars, and even their civilization. When asked if she thought the natives would really use passive resistance, Miss Whitfield replied that if a great many natives got together they were likely to forget their purpose and start riots.
Indians Respect English
Indians, as a whole, like and respect the English, said Miss Whitfield, but follow their leader, Ghandi without understanding the reason or the result. Miss Whitfield admitted that she expected an armed conflict between the Mohammedans and Hindus should England give India complete freedom.
Explaining the religions of the two peoples, Miss Whitfield said that the Mohammedans believe in one God while the Hindus worship many. Although there are only 90 million Mohammedans to 300 million Hindus, the Mohammedans are stronger and more pugnacious, and are the ones who make up the Indian-part of the British troops in India.
Town of 25 Whites
Miss Whitfield lived in a small town where white persons numbered 25. She said that Indians were given offices of responsibility in the town's government. Lately the British have been trying to put educated Indians in such positions. However.
Helen Whitfield and her brother came to the United States from England for college, but she hopes to return as soon as possible.

Topeka To Have Extension Classes
Chancellor Deane W. Malott, when asked for opinion of these offe- the-campus credit courses, replied:
"I think the University's responsibility is more than merely to expect persons who desire an education to come here to obtain it. I believe these courses are a credit to the University as they enable adults and young people alike to obtain training by which they can meet many new problems which are arising. The implications of these problems, which are rapidly being brought forth, are greater than ever before."
This new course of classes will be (continued to page seven)
