Raj, Indian graduate student in journalism at the University, told of India’s climate, geography, and population while students of ge ography, having recently studied the far east, fired questions at him regarding Indian life and cul ture during his informal talk. Mr. Raj described India as be ing about two-thirds of the size of America while its population is more than double that of the United States. Americans, he said, average 36 persons per square mile while in Bombay there are 225 per sons per square mile. He further stated that India has 600 petty, dictatorial states with one chief( controlling, feudalistically, a s many as 21,000,000 people. Mr. Raj asserted that these dictators have an income of millions of dol lars, own as many as 600 Ameri can made automobiles, drink per fumed coffee and smoke from pipes containing perfume. When asked if he thought India could govern herself without Eng land’s help, Mr. Raj showed great anxiety to dip deeply into the question. He said, “the feudal aristocratic interest (economic) is the reason for England’s concern for India and not because she can not take care of herself. And re gardless of whether India can rule herself or not she should have the right to be free in her own country.’’ ASUO Ticket Driv< Falls Far Short Of Expected koa Oregon Stale Sales Abovi Local Totals The current drive to sell studen body tickets has fallen far short c the expected goal, netting onl 1040 sales up to date.

After the campaig closes, we are going to be ver rigid in the attempt to keep non student body members from secur ing privileges financially supporte. by those who have paid the $5 fee.' Oregon State’s card sales hav surpassed the local campaign an> it appears that Oregon will hav to be content to be outdone.

Yearlings Souse Fuzzy-faced Lads In Revenge Battle — The male members of the fresh man class went to the millrace yesterday noon to seek revenge. They got it! The “class war” started Tuesday noon in front of the Gamma Phi house while the wearers of the moleskins were heaving th.eir beardless members into the stream. It seems that they took offense at seeing so many fresh man spectators. By 1 o’clock, all the freshmen had been thoroughly soused, as well as the sophomores who had refused to raise whiskers for the “Days of ’49” dance to night. Wednesday, a large group of men, clad in the traditional tin pants, hurried to the millrace, to await the rumored onslaught of sophomores. The sophomores didn’t show up. Yesterday noon about 12:30 a huge bodv of freshmen appeared on the bridge, vainly waiting for the moleskin clad youths with the fuzzy faces. Finally they arrived. When the smoke had cleared the results were that every sophomore j who appeared was thoroughly i drenched irt the murky waters, i Freshmen? Yes, many of them hit ! the waves also. _ Dean of Women to Talk Before Orides Monday Mrs. C. L.

Japanese Hold Key Position For East And West Harmony The Japanese are the only peo ple gifted to achieve harmony be tween the occidental and oriental worlds- such was the idea ad vanced yesterday by Mr. Ken Tsu rumi, new consul of Japan in Portland. The sleekly groomed littlt consul had much to say yes terday as he paused in an inspec tion tour of the Murray Warner art museum. He was accompanied by Mrs. Murray Warner and Toy oichi Nakamura, ex-Japanese con sul to Portland. The consul explained that for a long time Japan practiced the closed door policy, but that finally other nations were admitted and Japan learned the imperialistic policy. “We had to learn the west ern ways in science, navies, rail way building and engineering,” he said, “after the door was opened.” Japan clings to her traditional art, though it is gradually chang ing under occidental influence Mr. Tsurumi said. "It is the sublime objective to harmonize the western and east ern nations,” he said. "The Jap anese are the only ones who could do it.” He explained his position by tell ing how Japanese children learn English with their ABC’c. Thej are taught the American point oi view. He feels that this enables them to understand both the east ern and western cultures. “We love the American frank ness,” the consul remarked and continued to say that the Japan ese feel that they have the same spirit toward progress as the Americans—energy, enthusiasm "we cannot stand still,” he said. To a question concerning the most popular profession in Japan, Mr. Tsurumi said emphatically, "Soldier!” The reporters exchanged puzzled glances.
