Ghandi Thinks No Peace Can Exist With Imperialism
Professor John Cornelius of Lucknow University Tells Natives' Philosophy
"Mahatmi Ghani," declared Prof. John J. Corneilus, of Lacknow University, India, "believes there can be no peace in this world as long as imposition is this afternoon at 4:20, in the auditorium of central Administration building on the subject, 'Ghanti-Isl Message to the West,' Professor Corneilus continues to disillusion the Orient of the glourish of Western civilization. He has been trying to turn India back to her old ideals of non-egression through help to develop a broader nationalism whose participation will be essential."
Ghandi Wants Response
"All countries want to be a response to the ideas of the East and not compel her to become militaristic. India and China have been peace loving through a history of several thousand years and has ever engaged in a war of conflict."
"The time has come" declared Professor Cornelius, "for the peoples of the West to analyze the workings of their governments. The East sees in western democratic governments, not yet a government of 'the West' but of people who want the people', but rather a government of the western interests, by the western interests, and for the western interests. People everywhere seek and want peace but the creators of war are western interests and the East hopes that this people will soon learn the West will soon begin to valorize the goals of governance so controlled."
World Unsafe for Democracy
Summarizing the events and political conditions prior to and immediately after the two World War II conflicts, governments fought for world control and told the people they were fighting to "make the world safe for democracy." The result of the war have justified this suspicion. Instead of a war, we saw a world most unsafe for it. From the war period France has emerged as the greatest military power the world has seen, Great Britain the greatest naval power, and even the United States the most committed to compromise with the other two. Besides this we have seen the rise of the greatest dictatorships the world has known, the dictativeness of the few it Italy, and of the many it in a more than that no other condition than before the war

"Imperialism is running rampant; Even America which proclaimed to the world that she has one and one civil interest is perhaps just like her financial imperialist can make a colonial eminence. With the rise of imperialism we find the need of individual states for increased imperialism. These two go hand in hand. In order to gain the popular support necessary for imperialistic and multirratic progress we are obliged to develop biases on nationalism to prepare to blow nationalism off with self-righteousness and condemn the reef of munick to dammation.
Ghandi Fighting Enemies
“Ghandi,” concluded Professor Cornelius, “is engaged in a fight, the ultimate purpose of which is to troy the enemies of international nationalism, anti- Islamism, and nationalism.”
Professor Coronian will be the guest of the Cosmopolitan Club at dinner this evening.

Legion Will Present "The Thirteenth Chair" Twice Next Monday
Large Ticket Sale Makes Two Performances Necessary at Rowersock
C. C. Carl, of the Carl clothing store, has developed a mountaine to better fit him for the role of the police inspector in the play, which part he plays admirably, according to Myrte M. Mair, who is directing the play. "The cast, which is made up largely of 'Hill people', is a splendid one," she says. "Some numbers have had considerable professional experience." There has been one substitution in the cast—the part of Philip Mazon will be played by Dolph Simons, of the Lawrence Daily Journal-World, instead of Ralph Smith, A. B. 26, who was called out of town. "Mr. Simons has had much experience and adds materially to the play by his interpretation of the role," she said. Cooper, c29, has been added to the cast in the part of the butter.
A matinee performance will be given of the play "The Thirteenth Chair" which is being presented by the American Logion at the Bowie-sock theater and that the play has been so large that a matinee is necessary in order that everyone wishes to see the play may attend.

Typhoid Case at Hospital
Students Not Immunized Urged to Have It Done Now
The first case of typhoid fever in the last two years is now being treated at the student hospital.
According to Dr. R. H. Edmiston superintendent of the student hospital, typhoid is exceptionally dangerous and contagious and a student having it would probably lose two or three months of the school year. They have been educated for typhoid within the last three years are advised to come to the hospital and have it done immediately.
Doctor Edimison urges all students to take advantage of this opportunity to become immunized, in the presence of others it is not for themselves.
Scientist Uses Lacquer to Preserve Specimens
A small but important new use for the new cellulose lacquers, such as used for automobile finish, to preserve from vaporization the tiny and delicate specimens mounted on glass slides for use with the microscope, is described by Prof. A. V. Mitchener, of Manitoba Agricultural College. He seals the edges of the cover glass to the slide with a needle and the laque is dried and makes a permanent mount. Shellace and other substances hitherto used for this purpose have not been very satisfactory.

Back-Stage Scene to Be Presented by "Isabel" Cast
Musical Comedy Audience to See Informal Play as It Is Given in Europe
The stage features will be one of the attractive and unique settings of "Isaael," the musical comedy being presented next week. This feature will be unusual in that what is carried onstage with the image will be disclosed to the audience.
In the third act of the play, a musical comedy is being rehearsed by the students of Hackley college, the school about which the plot centers. The try-outs for the various parts, the stage carpenters at work, the trials and tribulations of the directors, and the finished set-up is brought before the eyes of the audience. The management of this comedy requires an accurate manner from the experience gained in preparing "Isabel."
The theater goers will be given the opportunity to pass judgment upon the modern style of stage presentations for the informality with which European plays are given will be adopted for next week's performances. The directors have followed tips from critics of the old world's productions in preparing their stage organization. There will be no strict adherence to the conventional way of acting. Every action and utterance will be made to amuse and satisfy the audience without the usual artificialities.
Those who heard Ben Turpin, c29,
give his Gamous prologue before the
second appearance of "Wango Pango"

--budge the budget bill has been in controversy for over a period of four days and it resolves itself into the facts that if one school has a new building the rest of them must also have a new building or none will. The house seems to be the one sign that we are building a new St. Louis hall for the University of Kansas. It contends that the old building will give further service to the condition that it is now in and that it is merely a foolish expenditure of money. Yet the real challenge to the other hand the senate will not give in to the idea that the state needs to spend $900,000 additional for new buildings at Hays and Pittsburgh. It is a real battle of dog cat for neither side is willing to concede to the proposal for new buildings, in the three disrupted schools.

A new bill that is expected to rid the state of habitat law violators has been passed by both branches of the Kansas legislature and availa- tion of a new penalty. The bill provides that any person convicted a second time of felony in Kansas is to be sent to prison for double the time fixed by law as punishment for the crime. If convicted a third time, he is sentenced to 16 months.
The idea is not new in Kansas, but was originated 15 years ago in the fight to enforce the prohibition law. The court ruled that the state's successful in Kentucky where it was in effect for several years. A feature of the law is that all three of the crimes need not necessarily be in the state, but only the third one.

Hardest Studying at Library Done in Fall Semester
Records Show Most World
Done Early in Week;
Monday Busiest
Day of All
That more studying is done during the fall semester in the in spring and that students study hardest the first part of the week are the conclusions drawn by Miss Josephine Underhill, madden and reading room, and philosophy reading room of Watson library, who has compiled some interesting statistics concerning the circulation in that department. She reports that the total circulation for last year was 81,000, and the total circulation for this year was 131,100. Miss Pay C. Moya is in charge of the reserve department.
The circulation was largest in Miss Underhill's room in the month of February, the total circulation for that month being 9845. In Miss Mays' room, the circulation was largest in October, beating 10,375 at that time. The circulation was second highest in both rooms in March.
More Circulation in Summer These figures were of the circulation during the school months, from September to June, and do not include the circulation during the summer months. The circulation figures in the education room for May and July were in the winter months; the figures being 13,274 for June and 13,477 for July. The circulation is Miss Moy's room for these two months were 8,573 for July and 6773 for June.
Miss Underbill has kept other statistics which show that in February 1925, the average circulation each day was 428 in her room and 630 in Miss Leigh's. In August 1927, the circulation each day in her room was 442 and in Miss Moya room was 624. This shows that the circulation from her房 has slightly increased since February of last year and that Miss Moya' room remains unchanged.
First of Week Basisist Time
In order to estimate whether a greater number of employees are needed in the library during the spring or fall semesters, Miss Underhill has worked out a plan by which it can be determined upon which day of the week the education department needs the most help. In May, 1926, she worked harder the first part of the week, and after Thursday there was a loss in circulation. More books were checked out Monday than any other day of the week.
This estimate was based on the circulation for all the Mondays in the semester. From the months October to December 1926, the circulation was greater all through the week as an average except for the Thurdays of both semesters. She therefore drew data from all months and recorded the figures in the full semester than in the spring. She will keep a record of each semester's daily circulation until it is proved on what days the greatest number of calls for books occur.

Eight Mid-Western Colleges Are Dropped From Accredited List
Friends University of Wichita and McPherson College Are Included
Eight mid-western colleges, including Friends University of Wichita and McPherson College of McPherson, were dropped from the accredited list of the North-Central Association of Schools of Medicine after rejection of the committee of higher education of that organization yesterday.
Those which have failed to maintain the specified standard are: Friends University of Wichita; Ripon College, Ripon, Wis.; Tarkio College, Tarkio, Mo.; Defiance College, Defiance, Ohio; Okeechobee College, Okeechobee, Mexico; Maui, Hawaii University, Fayette, Iowa; Lombard College, Galesburg, Il.
The authorities at Friends University declare that unless the deficiency n their institution can be made up the school will cease to operate. A university must have a set of little value and has no attraction for students, they point out.
Drake University at Des Moines own, was excluded from this list sending a second survey of that institution which it had on each care was the inability of the institutions to meet the endowment requirements which the association maintained were necessary to carry out the educational work on a sound basis.

Snow Hall, Nurses' Home, and Ward Unit Are Assured
Controversy Over Buildings Delays Final Action on Appropriation Measure
Word received from Topaka at 2:30 this afternoon assures a new Snow hall costing $200,000, a ward unit at Hoeceal costing 40,000, Rodecake costing $100,000. These items were included in the appropriations granted today by the state legislature. In addition, appropriations for completing the law were included in the hill.
Other last minute decisions made in connection with the appropriation bill, allows $340,000 to be spent on the State Manhattan, and $180,000 each for a science ball at the Hayes Nursery, a music hall at the Pittsburg teacher's College, and a college for the Emporia Teacher's College.
Due to a strong deadlock in the state legislature last night it was necessary to adopt an emergency resolution to extend the time for the consideration of the bill despite an announcement before it. The bill is to cease at midnight tonight and final adjournment is to be noon next Wednesday.
The legislature is bung on two of the largest appropriation bills for the calendar for this year. The bills are the school budget, and the executive and judicial budget, which pays the state expenses for the next two years. One bill belongs to the senate and the other the house.
Budget Bill in Controversy
But a turn of events showed later in the evening that an agreement on the basis that each school should get a new building including Roseale, but that there would be no increase in the salaries of the members of the school ties of the different schools which the building is attached to the same financial standing as the Teachers College nt 'Emorua.
Executive Bill Brings Delay
The executive bill is another stumbling block in the work of the solos of Kansas, for appropriations have already reached such a part that it is a matter of disliking and not permissive of dissolving as well as not approving of appropriations. One item that was killed by the senate was part of the appropriation for the public health board which alone may hold the conference a long time at its work.
There were five conference bodies meeting last night to make an attempt to iron out the divide between the legislature and the senate. Those bills are before the conference bill; the school budget, the executive budget, the motivate tag bill, appropriations for highway commission and administration of Wormana compensation law.
