Hindu Student at K.U. Studies Way to Relieve Conditions in India
Pardaman Singh Believes Home Rule for His Country Is Near
The relieving of social conditions in India has brought to the University a Hindu, Pardaman Singh, who is taking advanced work here in sociology, economics and political science, with the intention of returning to his home in Northern India after receiving his Ph. D. degree. Mr. Singh selected the University of Kansas after consulting the catalogs of many institutions, deciding that he could enroll in more work that he wanted here than anywhere else.
Mr. Singh has been in the United States for four years, and has lived in California, Oregon and British Columbia. He finds the climate here much cooler than that to which Mr. Singh has been born in Lundhiiana, Punjab. He is a graduate of the University of Punjab.
"The conditions of the native life in India should become better now that the war is over," said Mr. Singh, yesterday. "Home rule is near, I believe, for the people. The students are best advanced in all the lines. Students leave India and to other countries for work or to return and then to work for the betterment of their people. The 1,115,000 Hindu soldiers who will soon return from France will be a powerful factor in shaping the future of the country.
Mr. Singh is the first native of India who ever attended school here. His unshorn hair and long black beard, make him a unique figure. He wears European garb, with the exception of a turban, and speaks good English with a slight British accent.

Captain Murray in New Bucks
Capt. Joseph Murray, commander of D Company Motor Battalion, 110 ammunition train now in France, has been made personal adjutant of the ammunition train, and now has charge of all records of the organization.
Captain Murray was graduated from the College in 1911. At the time of his enlistment he was managing editor of the Journal-World. Mrs. Murray has been instructor in chemistry here since Captain Murray has been in the army.
Captain Murray in New Duties
Rumor had it that the Freshman class of this year is disappointed with K. U. and it lies with the faculty to disprove the assertion. According to instructors in the department of English the freshman class was never so interested in its work before S. A. T. C. men have done good work on the program, security and guard duty. Perhaps such activities have developed a sense of the tragic in the men and theme writing is the only outlet.
Rumor That Discontent Exists Is Being Disproved by Members of Faculty
In the chemistry department the attitude is the same. College freshmen are displaying interest and S. A. T. C. students keep the record. French classes however vary slightly. With the coming of peace a few of the men students lost interest in Francais but, as a general rule, the freshman are keeping up the old standard.

Corps will be demobilized first. Section A will be demobilized December 4.
Will Take Two Weeks To Clear Out Army
It may take some time according to Captain Scher, to get the discharges fixed for all the men. Before any man can be discharged from the army he must be given a physical examination. This is done, so that if during his training in the army he has become physically disabled for life, a pension will be given by the United States. The discharge examinations will be given under the direction of Lieut. Judson Allen, of the medical corps.
The discharges will be granted in as short a time as passible. In order to facilitate this, the war department is to operate of the college authorities.
It is thought that the men who for
financial or other reasons cannot remain in the University after the unit is disbanded here, will be granted their discharges first. There will be no effort to try to keep mon herne in the university when they are but those who are financially able will be urged to stay in school and finish their education.
Arrangements are being made by the government to take back the Liberty Bonds of all the soldiers who are not able to make the payments on them since they are no longer in the service.
All officers who do not wish to remain in service will be discharged December 10, according to the telegram. The officers who want to remain in the army, upon the recommendation of the command officer, will probably be assigned to regiments in various parts of the United States. Lieut. Frank J. Cramer, commanding officer of Section A, said this morning that he thought 30 or 40 per cent of the officers at the University would remain in the service.
