CASTE SYSTEMS ARE AGAINST CHRISTIANITY
Students of India are Not Satisfied With Their Education
CHRISTIANS ARE OUTCASTS
Solomon Romalingam, Speaks at Myers Hall Last Night
"The most powerful obstacle to the spread of Christianity in India is the caste system." That was the explanation given at Myers Hall by Solomon Ramalingam, Indian student, in telling that only three millions of India's population of 800 millions are Christian.
"If a man becomes a Christian he loses all the privileges of association with others," said Mr. Ramalani, who is a professor in the institute he must leave his house and his wife and children must not live with him. Conversion means disinheritance. Christians must not touch other Christians or others. A Christian is an outcast."
Nearly three-fourths of the people of India are Brahmins. Next in number of followers is Mohammedism and Buddhism.
The spirit of the American college has been a revelation to Mr. Ramalingam. "At the University of Madras we used to look upon our teachers as our enemies, our registrar as our bosses, and the chancel as Siatan himself."
"The students of India are not satisfied with kind of education that is being provided in the universities there," said Mr. Ramalingam. "Last year as a part of the great Indian education program, we joined the British, 20,000 native students left the University of Calcutta. They began picketing the liquor shops and preaching the boycott against all things English. Others of them went to the villages to teach the "dub-multitudes." Ninety per cent of the low caste men of India are illiterate.
"India is one of the greatest cotton growing countries of the world," said Mr. Ramalingam. "Centuries before the British came our people wove the finest cloths such as this," and he updah a length of sheer fabric. "But now we must ship our cotton to England and it comes back to us every time." And sometimes, times. We feel that we should have our own industry and trade."
Recently as a demonstration against English goods, one million people gathered near Bombyah and burned a mountain of clothes, caps, cats fine fabrics, umbrellas, etc. of English origin. M. H. Ganhi, the elder of the non-cooperation movement lighted the fire.
TELLS OF SCOTCH STUDENTS
"We do not demand complete independence," said Mr. Ramalingam, "we only demand a fair share in our government, trade and industry. The Briton came to our land as a more leader of the non-cooperation move conquered us. Now we are his slaves. We feel that if we can break his hold upon our trade and industry that the fight will soon be won."
Miss Laird Says Girls in Scot land Do Not "Doll Up"
According to Miss Laird, instructor in the English department, the average student in Edinburgh University is there for intellectual development rather than for social reasons. There is a strong interest in debating and athletic events are popULAR among both men and women.
The policy of the university has been changed in recent years in that it now admits women to its enrollment, now make about one-fourth of the student body. Miss Laird indicates that they do not "doll up" as is the custom of some of the co-eds in this country. She stated that "The moderate mode of beauty in cosmetics is very noticeable to the coming from an American college."
Students in Edinburgh follow the ancient custom of stamping their feet to show their approval and scuff when they are displeased.
Miss Laila attended Edinburgh University during her leave of absence from here last semester and in her speech before the women's forum yesterday she gave a very interesting account of college life in Edinburgh
Trustees of the athletic board of control of Illinois Wesleyan University have selected Saturday, November 5, for laying of the cornerstone of the new gymnasium of the greater Wesleyan. The gymnasium is in a large, open-air new structures which will be put up with the fund of $750,000 raised in a campaign in June by citizens of Bloomington and Mclean County.
Is Chivalry In Accord With Modern Culture? Fairer Sex Say Days of Knighthood Gon
"Manners, did you say? Who has them? Are there really some on the campus? What makes you think I believe you must be mistaken."
Eloise and Eleanor were making their way from Fraser to West "At-Au." A young man in a mad haste to get a reserved seat on the stone staircase outside had just let the heavy door swing shut in their faces.
Eleanor: "The boob!" Nearly
amashed my face in!
Elisee: "That's nothing. You should have seen me the other day trying to get out of the Law Building. They were all in front as usual to watch the between-claushuffle, and they were all ready to get down off of five steps. They were sitting on those steps as tenaciously as if they thought they'd never get another opportunity to sit down. Well, finally, someone with a sneaking idea that I wasn't saying 'Pardon Gang Way!' I moved down a step and one else yelled, 'Gang Way!' After half of that mob was yelling 'Gang Way,' in chorus, I managed to get down. It makes a girl feel awful-comfortable, doesn't it, to have to go way through that bunch of men?"
Eleanor: "Yes,-well of all the nerve! Push a fellow right off the walk into a mud puddle! I hope I'm large enough to be seen. Wonder if that girl thinks she owns the walk and we're nonsensing."
Eloise: "Probably. Did you know that,—Ouch! For the love of mud!" That villain hit me squarely in the eye with her parasol. Poor thing*s
didn't say to be pardoned." "Say, Eloise, the other day I slipped and fell, and seven highly-maised and grimming upperclassmen came to help me up. Then it was a freeman who played the Good Samaritan. It seems to me the freshmen are the only people who haven't forgotten to do it."
must be blind and dumb, though—she didn't ask to be pardoned."
E. F. Kurtz to Assist in Special Church Program
Those in the choir are Rena Laszli, professor of voice, soprano, Ruth Gould, fa'24, contraction, Phil N. Darby, ca'22, tenor, and Earl Miller, fa'24
"Yes, and that's because they haven't been away from home long enough. They'll learn, though, in a year or two, that it isn't customary to ask your pardon when they run your hair net, or knock all your books on the floor as they step on your sore foot in the try to pass you."
The committee has its plans for the county club convaction next Wednesday morning at 10:30 o'clock almost perfected. Students from the various counties of the state will meet in the place designated for his work, at OUR GHS Petaers, "and unless we give public work for the year discussed, especial attention being given to the homecoming day pageant."
The choir of the First Methodist Episcopal church, assisted by Prof. E. F. Kurtz, of the department of violat at K. U., will give a special musical program Sunday evening at 8 o'clock at the Church.
He also stated that the clubs should keep the athletic board informed concerning athletes from their counties, that if individual, personal solicitation could not draw the prospective student here, then organized effort might be more effective.
The board walk in front of Central "Ad" was reached.
They will present the following program;
"No, Eloise, just how are we expected to pass here when five girls and three men are holding a conference in the middle of the sidewalk?" "Oh, come on. I suppose we can be a good team," he said. A ball man, though—I'd like to bit that line and maybe give a few yards." "Wouldn't you? -Well, did you see the look that woman gave me, just because she ran into my pencil? She could see me coming, couldn't she? Because she had a pencil in your book, is there?" Eloise, dropping into a seat: "No, I suppose not. Say I'm glad to get here. How many miles is it from Fraser over here. Did you see me step on that mall's feet when I tried to buy a ticket to parton?" Well, I should say not. If he would keep them where they belong, they wouldn't get tramped on."
"The University is primarily a public service institution," said Mr. Peters, "and unless we give public service at home we cannot expect it to be as effective as by organized effort, be able to disseminate information from the hill that would help in home problems, such as engineering, sociology, and extension work. In other words, we need a source of information from the University at home."
It is his opinion that the county clubs by organized effort can be of material assistance along these lines. I have never read any book per by keeping them informed of University happenings and activities, and by promoting fellowship among them by means of entertainments for, or in conjunction with them.

"County Clubs can contribute in a large measure to the success of the University," said Shrieley Peters, one of the chairmen in charge of county clubs. "They questioned concerning the functions and purposes of the county club.
"There are three factors which contribute largely to the success of a school," Mr. Peters stated. "They deal with financial support, and financial support."
