THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
PEACEFUL REVOLUTION PREACHED BY GHAND
"Non-violent and Co-operation Chosen as Means of Winning Indian Independence
URGE BOYCOTT BY PEOPLE
Natives to Withdraw from Al Government Offices and Students from Colleges
(By Mohd Raubf Jari, c.)
We have heard much about anti-British agitation in India and about Gandhi, the great Hindu leader. It will therefore, be interesting to the American public to know some of the nations which have this extraordinary man as its leader.
The Nationalistic party demands complete independence for India, but this independence does not necessarily involve severance of connection with England. Though they do not recognize the right of the British Parliament to have power over decisions of India with the other countries, yet they still see the possibility of remaining with the British Commonwealth.
They urge that the British Commonwealth should mean nothing but a voluntary association of a numb b of independent nations for their mutual benefit. They want a council, representing all the members of the commonwealth, as a supreme body. This representative assembly should have the power to control the foreign relations of the individual members, in the establishment of a relation, they will try for total separation.
Their method for attaining this objective is new to the world. They think it possible to win the independence of India through a peaceful revolution. The policy which they have adopted is called "non-vilent non-co-operation." This means a boycott of all the government functions, as well as everything connected with the government, by the people of India. They hold that no government—however strong it may—can compel and determine its actions and moral force of three and nineteen million souls.
This non-violent non-cooperation consists of four stages:
(a) Withdrawal of students from the government colleges and renunciation of government titles and honorary posts.
(b) Suspension of practice by the lawyers and beyeccot of the British courts by the public.
(d) Non-payment of taxes.
(c) Resignation of all the Hindos from the government service, generally, and from the police and army particularly.
Foolish as these may seem to the people not acquainted with India, yet a study of these measures will show that they would have a very far-reaching effect.
The government of India, besides a handful of Englishmen gets all her employees from colleges controlled by the State. To empty these colleges means nothing less than cutting at the source of the government's supply of men, a renunciation of honorary titles and posts means repudiation of the government by her own supporters. It will also make the public realize that to receive honors from foreign government is not
ting but a real shame. The government was to win people over to her side by either conferring some title or giving some employment. This item at once removes both the temptations. The second part asks for the boycott of the English law courts and the establishment of their own private arbitration courts for the settlement of disputes. Another important aspect that government comes into close contact with the everyday life of the people and also it is through these that she derives her moral authority. This step is an attempt to establish a national government, as well as, to the moral authority of the
The third part is a natural corollary of the second. They need men to serve on the arbitration courts, and where can they find a better class of men than those who have resigned from the government services? Besides, this item, if carried into an office will parry the answer as well be at a stand still without the help of the Hindeo employees.
The importance of the last part of the program is self-evident. This is the last stage and will not be entered upon unless the first three items have been worked out and have proved a success. With the success of this item, the British control in India will come to its natural end.
GRAVES OF SOLDIERS WILL BE DECORATED
11,000 American Legion Posts to Honor Dead Comrades Memorial Day
Indamapalsu, March 30—(United Press) —Graves of American soldiers sailors and marines, who died in the World War will be visited on Memorial Day by comrades in the American Legion both at home and abroad, according to plains announced today at Legion national headquarters.
Legion posts in every community in American will take charge of Memorial day ceremonies and decorate the graves of all veterans. While thousands of communities throughout this country are in their midst, the distant graves in France, England, Italy and Russia will not be neglected. For the last two years it has been the custom of Legion national headquarters to collect a fund from the 11,000 posts for the exercise of military duties lished to take charge of this fund in France and England, composed largely of Legion men, acting in conjunction with similar bodies of officials and citizens of the various foreign countries. Posts in all European countries, co-operating with these committees, would also serve the American who perished overseas is appropriately decorated.
National headquarters suggests that the following information be obtained in regard to each veteran buried in home memorials: Name, or occupations of burial, rank, discharge and place of burial, giving exact location by lot and number.

MANY TEACHERS ARE NEEDED COMING YEAR
Salaries of Instructors Will No Be Lowered is General Relief
**crew, W. H. Johnson, of the School of Education and director of Oread Training School**, said this morning that there is a great demand for teachers. Many school boards are requesting teachers to fill vacancies in high schools for next year. Several county report that salaries of high school teachers will probably remain the same as they are at present.
The average monthly salaries now paid to teachers in rural schools average as a minimum $73.41, as a median $94.58 and as a maximum $134.95. Many counties report a shortage of many experienced teachers for rural schools.
Some comments made by county superintendents as to the result upon district school in case of a general reduction in salaries, have been received by Mr. Johnson. Both Superintendent M. Clark and Superintendent M. O. Wright of Waubenburg County said that it would lower appreciably the standards hereof maintained by their schools. They also said that they would lose some of their best teachers. George F. Borland, county superintendent of Clay County, would hire poorer teachers, have to hire poorer prepared teachers and there will be a general decline in educational progress."
New Record for Memorial Fund
Prof. Baugmentart has found a new record for subscriptions to the Memorial fund. Last week he stopped off at the small town of Perrry. When he left the town exactly the Memorial fund was richer by $100 cash and $200 in subscriptions.
"There are only three alumni there, and no other former students," Pof. Baumgartner said, "and the subscriptions certainly serve for the loyalty of those few. If we could count on such a percentage from the other towns of Kansas, we could go over the top in a hurry."

Watch Your Step When Pitching Camp
Geology students are being warned by professors in that department as to the proper laces for a camp to be pitched. Prof. Russ S. Knappen in speaking to hise classes on the recent series of rains in the vicinity of Burlington and Iola, said, "People in camping should be very careful not to pitch a camp on the flat coast near a stream."
Four persons nearly lost their lives last week while camping near a small stream southwest of Colony, Kan. Finding that the strain $m$ had risen almost instantly, they were forced to camp further away. Their camps and provoons were washed away. Two similar cases resulted in death last year.
A small stream is much more dangerous that a large one, according to Professor Knappen. The flat course of a stream is subject to flooding any time by thunder storms up to 10 feet in depth. The largest stream's not so dangerous, because it rises much more slowly. There would be a greater degree of safety in camping by the Kaw or Arkansas rivers than in the flat of some of the small cracks, which may rise at any time and prove disastrous. Deaths may be avoided if the camper is cautious before pitching camp.

Pachacamac wants your help
Pachacamac is looking for a leader among leaders as a candidate for President of the Men's Student Council. The student body has an opportunity to select him.
A man capable of being the head of the Men's Student Council must be active on the Hill in student affairs. He must go into office with no strings attached which will compel him to play the puppet for any grasping secret organization. He must have executive ability combined with vision. He must feel that he is always a representative of the student body and not allow himself to be used as a weapon to administer faculty punishment.
Above all he must have more than just one phase of excellence, because many men have one strong point. For instance a man may be a good athlete, yet not have executive ability. Sometimes a man is run for office because of athletic ability alone—and perhaps the office suffers.
Pachacamac wants to avoid such errors. Pachacamac wants all around men such as Higgins, Brehm, Endacott, Bowman or McDonald and wants to know who is the choice of the voters. You can express your sentiment and assist Pachacamac's efforts for open politics by filling out the blank below and bringing it to the Fraser check stand Friday. This blank may be filled out by any individual or any group. The blanks must be signed.
My choice for President of the Men's Student Council on the Pachacamac ticket is
