Co-Education Far From The Rule
In India, Says English Instructor
Kipling's country. Punjab Prov
ince of India, was the home for two
yenrs of Thomas C. Pollock, now In
structor In the English department
of Ohio State University. In the
fall of 1022 Mr. Pollock accepted an
offer to teach philosophy at the Gor
don College of Punjab University,
at Rawalpindi, India, which is about
events on the program of tho fourth
annual Kansas Relays to be held at
the University of Kansas Memorial
Stadium here April 17.
Forty-nine white gold watches will
go to first place winners in university
and college class events. Twenty
gold medals will reward the first
place winners in junior college and
high school relay races.
Sixty-nine silver medals, sixty-
nine bronze medals and fifteen spe
cial challenge cups or team trophies
make up the remainder of the
prizes.
Watch to Relay WinneA
A gold watch goes to each of the
four runuc-s on a winning relay
team in the quarter-mile, half-mile,
ane mile and, medjley relay races
for universities; and to each man of
the quarter making up the winning
team in the half-mile, one-mile, two
mile, two-mile and medley college
relay races.
The first place winner in each of
the special events, open to college
and university men under Missouri
Valley conference rules of eligibility,
also gets a gold watch. These Bpe
cial events include the one hundred
yard dash, 120-yard high hurdles
3,000 meter run, pole vault, high
jump, broad jump, shot put, discus
throw and javelin throw.
One Race For Junior College
The one race open to junior college
athletes, including military and pre
paratory schools other than of high
school rank, is one mile relay. Gold,
silver and bronzel medals go to the
three place winers in this class,
t
Only medals go to the high school
athletes, there being four relay ra
ces open to any high school in the
United States including the half
mile, one-mile, two-mile, and med
ley relay races.
The green of spring is already
touching the campus of the Univer
sity of Kansas, insuring a mild tem
perature and a fast track for the an
nual relay carnival.
Large Income Needed
The women at Denver University
in the sociology department agreed
that a man must have an income of
at least $2200 in order to get married.

em border of the country and 80
miles from the foothills of the Him
alaya mountains.
"The school system of Indie is
somewhat different from that of the
United States," said Mr. Pollock in
comparing the educational methods
of the two countries. "The courses
are practically the same, but the
students have no choice of electives.
Each college has its prescribed
course and books, so that all the
subjects taken are required ones.
There are no examinations except
at the end of two years and then
they are conducted by tho Central
University, which is little more than
an examining board."
Few Girls
As is truo in most of the schools
of India, there are no girls at Gor
don College. In fact, Punjab has
only one school for girls out of its
28. Women of India are still con
fined, for the most part, to their
homes.
The cost of attending college is
relatively about tho same as it is
n the United States.
"Among the students," said Mr.
Pollock, "there is a strong cosmo-i
politan feeling because of the differ-1
ent religions." Most of the men at
Gordon College are Mohammedans,
Hindus, Sikhs, a branch of Moham
medanism, or Christians. In sports
they intermingle freely but for
meals each group cats separately.
There is, however, a definite ten
dency toward the breaking down of
religious and race prejudice.
Athletic Encouraged
"Athletics are encouraged and the
school has an athletic director. The
favorite games are English football,
or soccer, hockey, and tennis. These
are played practically the entire
year, for tho wenther is always
warm with tho exception of four or
five rainy weeks in the winter. In
tramurals Bre the important feature
of the athletic lifo, although a few
interscholastic games are played."
In India a student is collegiate ac
cording to the plume on his turban.
The way the ends of his shoes curl
up or the type of turban he wears
may also reveal his religion. I he
costumes range from European to
picturesque native.
Bubonic Plague Scare
Rawalpindi has electric lights
now, but did not during the time
Mr. Pollock was located there. The
sanitation of the town is poo, but
livable. The college had a bubonic
plague scare, but fortunately only
only a few cases developed. Mr.
Pollock saw a rat in the dormitory
one evening, so he immediately had a
doctor innoculate him against the
disease.
On his journey home Mr. Pollock
crossed the Arabian desert in a Ford,
a trip which took four days. This
was not difficult, because the sand is
hard and docs not shift as does the
sand on the Sahara Desert. While
on the desert caravans of four to five
thousand camels were seen. These
animals, Mr. Pollock said, arc as
common on the desert as Fords are in
America.

Not Exclusively Academic
The Holiday Fellowship is by no
means an exclutdvely academic group.
The host at any one of the simple
1'fa "centers" maintained in nine
teen of the most beautiful sea and
mountain locations of England, St
lnnd, Wales, Switzerland, France and
Germany, is often a conservative
Cambridge or Oxford student But
he is equally likely to be a Clyde
side Socialist, a conscienitous objec
tor and a Labor candidate for Parlia
ment. Every point of view is re
presented among the guests who re
present widely varying taHtcs and
circumstances and the resultant dis
cussions are illuminating in the extreme.
Discover Congenial Companion.
There is no quicker or surer way
for an absolute stranger to leap dl-
rect'y into the life of the country and
into a sure welcome from a group of
congenial companions than to fre
quent the H. F. centers. Everyone
is on his own, there are no cliques,
tho formality of introductions is
waived. The myth of British aloof
ness which originated with Ameri
cans who spend a few weeks in En
glish city hotels in the company of
their fellow-men, restricting then
contact with the natives to bits of
conversation with waiters and taxi-
drivers, vanishes into thin air.
The Holiday Fellowship is not in
tended for idlers or persons in ill
health. It is for vigorous men and
women who can enjoy a ten-mllo hike
exploring roads unknown to motor
ics and climbing every peak in sight
and still have enough pep left over
at night to take an active part in an
impromptu play, a vaudoville per
formance, an open air concert, or
a political discussion.
Comfortable Accommodation
Living accommodations are com
fortable but offer no luxury. At
tho Welsh center, guests sleep in
miniature one-room cottages accom
modating two persons each. At
Swango, on the south coast, convert
ed army huts are used and at charm
ing Keswick in the Lake district an
old mill has been transfromed into
two huge dormitories and the mill
stream dammed to provide a refresh
ing swim or dip for hikers returning
from an all day excursion.
Food is plentiful and wholesome.
Daylight lasts until 10:30, the cus
tomary time for going to bed by can-
de light There are no servants,
hence no tips. Everyone wears his
oldest clothes and muHt be willing to
carry his share of the luncheon in a
knapsack during the morning climb
and to take his turn , at passing
around the tea.
Near Place of Interest
Guests usually stay from one to
two weeks at any one center and the
centers are so distributed in or near
places of historical and scenic in
terest that it is possible to make a
rather complete tour of the British
Isles, staying entirely at H. P. cen
ters. The. number of guests at any
one center is never too large for a
personal acquaintance to be made
with all.
Charges for room and board at the
British centers last summer averaged
fourteen dollars a week. Expenses
for excursions varied according to
the use made of buses, carriages,
ferries, etc., but averaged an addi
tional $2.60 a WQek. Expenses at
the Continent centers ran somewhat
higher.
The Fellowship .through its fried
on the Continent is able to offer oc
caslonal tripa from England to Den"
mark, whore tho Worker's College It
visited; to Germany where a gr0p
from the 'German Youth movement
is Joined on a walking tour through
the Black Forest, tho Rhinelnnd or
other interesting sections, and to
Holland where they join Dutch st.
dents on a bicycle tour of the Neith
erlands. Write For Reservations
Persons wishing to be sure of got

ters this summer should write inrnie.

It would be well to enclose a deposit
of five dollars as pledge of good faith
in maKing reservations.
Inexpensive Trip Abroad Is Offered
To Students by Holiday Fellowship
Students contemplating an inex
pensive trip abroad this summer,
particularly those interested in the
British Isles, should know of the ex
istence of The Holiday Fellowship
Association, a non profit making or
ganization which has as its purpose:
"to organize holiday making, to pro
vide for the healthy enjoyment of
leisure, to encourage love of the
open air, and to promote social and
international friendship."
President of the Association is Mr.
Charles Trevelyn, Member of Parlia
ment and Ex-President of the Board
of Education.
Known to Few American
The Holiday Fellowship, as yet
known to few Americans, has for
more than thirty years been helping
British young people get the most out
of their vacations with the least ex
penditure. Since the war they have
been joined by an increasing number
of students and teachers from every
corner of Europe. Last year the
number of Swedes, Dutch and Ger
mans exceeded the American quota
which meant that the few Ameri-
