INDIAN NON-COOPERATION MOVEMENT IS OBSERVED Student from Punjab Watches Political Struggle The non-cooperation movement of the people of India against the British government is attracting world wide at tention at the present time. Here on the Oregon campus there is one very much interested in the outcome of the struggle for closer home rule. Bar from his native India, Kanslii Bam, major in the school of journalism, watches closely the political struggle in his homeland. Mr. Bam came to the University from Punjab, in the north of India. While there he attended the University of the Punjab. For two years he was a stenographer in the service of the British government. “I believe that the non-cooperation movement in India is going to suc ceed,” he said, “although India will have to sacrifice thousands and thou sands of lives.” In a hurried interview Mr. Bam traced the history of the Nationalist movement from its founding, in 1884, to the present day struggle for recog nition. In 1884 a party of nine, with a well educated native at the head,, was formed for the purpose of appealing to the British to grant more political of fices to the natives of India. The little faction increased in numbers. Moham medan and Hindu, although of differ ent creeds, joined the fast growing movement and by 1912 it had a mem bership of 1000. “About this time,” said Mr. Bam. “the people of India, regardless of religious denomination, united in an appeal to the English government for the right of free speech, free arms act fright” to carry arms), and all other rights enjoyed by the citizens of the British Empire. “The government postponed the mat ter, thinking that a critical time was at hand. Humors of war were, spread ing at that time. It was decided to consider the demands of the natives ns soon as conditions were again set tled. “In 1914 the great war began. Eng land appealed to the Nationalist lead ers of India, asking them to rouse the people to help with men and money. “This Tndia did whole-heartedly,” he said, and his dark eyes flashed as he recalled the Indian patriotism. “After the close of the war, Mahat ma (saint) Gandhi, the chief instru ment in raising men and money for the British, wrote to Premier Lloyd George, urging that the case be considered and that bread be supplied to the millions of starving natives, in return for the services rendered by them during the war,” Kanshi Kain saw inai me pcmiw acknowledged receipt of the letter and stated that the case of India would be taken up after all international con troversies were settled. Mahatma Gandhi continued urging the people of India to demand a settlement from the English. In May 1919 the situation reached the climax. There was in tense agitation throughout the country, especially in the Punjab. “The government, fearing the rising spirit of the people,” continued the student from the far east, “tried to suppress the demonstrations quietly, but were unable to do so. Thereafter mili tary force has been used in suppress ing the nationalist spirit. “Mahatma Gandhi, seeing the meth ods of the British, became disgusted and openly protested against the un fair policy.” At the present time there are about 140,000,000 people supporting the non cooperation movement in India, which was started by Mahatma Gandhi. They are trying to get their demands granted by peaceful means if possible. The name, non-cooperation, was given to the movement in 1919, but the move ment started in 1912, as an outgrowth of the nationalist movement. The five main principles of the non cooperation movement are: 1. Boycott the government courts and start own national courts; 2. Boycott all schools and colleges under English supervision: 3. Boycott English goods and start home spinning wheels: 4. Drop all titles and degrees given by the English: 5. Refuse to pay taxes and to do military service. “The first four principles have been supported by the people.” concluded Mr. Ram. “and have been carried out to certain extent, and the people arc now looking toward the fifth prin eiple.” CONSTITUTION IS ADOPTED Oregon Knights Perfect Organization: Pins to Be Selected At a meeting held last night the Ore gon Knights formally adopted a con stitntion and by-laws which will be usei in the future for the guidance of the organization.

ROBBINS TELLS PURPOSE OF COMMERCE COURSE High School Work Divided into Four Groups; Value of Educational Journals Discussed The primary object of a commercial course in high school should be to give the student an understanding of the business world, a knowledge of under lying principles which enables him to adjust himself to conditions, according to Dean E. C. Robbins of the school of commerce, who addressed the general educational seminar Tuesday night. “High schools teaching commercial work might be divided into four groups,” said Dean Robbins. "Schools where students take the course under ‘sufferance’ or compulsion; those teaching a narrow commercial course eliminating all cultural subjects; schools combining the commercial and cultural subjects but making the in terpretation on a purely commercial slant: and those which present commer cial courses as a basis for an under standing of the business world.” Dean H. D. Sheldon, Prof. H. R. Douglass, Prof. C. A. Gregory, and Dr. B. W. DeBusk discussed the profession al journals in the field of education in which each is engaged in relation to stimulating students of the department to read the better professional journals. A combined seminar and reading room is provided in the education build ing where about 20 of the leading jour nals are provided by faculty members. Here students may read and discuss articles in the journals. FIVE NEW NAMES ADDED TO SPANISH CLUB ROLL Games at Meeting Wednesday Night Played at El Circulo Castellano The playing of games, the directions | for which were given in Spanish, was the diversion of the Spanish Club mem bers who met Wednesday night at the V. W. C. A. bungalow. A short business meeting preceded the social time. A game, which combined intellect with ! fun, was one in which a program re sembling a dance program was handed out to each. These were numbered to ! ten and were to be filled out with names I just as at any dance. However—we’re nearing the point of the game now—in Istead of dancing with the name on one’s program, one conversed fluently, more or less, in Spanish on a topic of conversa f tion previously announced. With some, f the conversation rose to a point of heated argument, while with others ‘ ‘ silence reigned supreme. ’ ’ Five new members I were added to the club at the meeting, i They are Senor Paul De Konig, Senor 1 Edgar Blood, Sonora Flock, Senorita I Jean Straclian, Senorita Viola Johnson.
