CLOTHES AGAIN
MAKE THE WOMAN
With cloudy skies and thunder
showers definitely out of the way,
for a while at least, the fair coeds
are being seen hither and yon in
the gayest of summer silk and
wash dresses. Natalie Rehlander
looks especially charming in pas
tel printed lawn, with matching
ribbons in her hair. For more
tailored wear, we suggest Kleanor
Kelly's rough silk, white with tiny
button trimming of turquoise, with
which she wears turquoise hat and
gloves. Mary Kinisey's white
sharkskin suit is one of those ul
tra smooth creations which adapt
themselves to any occasion. The
last word in school and play
dresses is the new "culotte" at
tire, with divided skirt, but still
retaining the necessary touches of
femininity. No better excuse for
a check for a new formal is needed
other than the D. U. or D. G. lawn
parties which are on the social
calendar in the near future.
Printed ginghams and dark col
ored linens are the thing in eve
ning attire for those seeking
something- slightly different from
customary nets and laces, while
the truly feminine heart will go
into raptures over the shaded chif
fon gowns, in deep wines and
blues. Whatever the occasion,
clothes are the all important thing
of the season; so, just by way of
friendly warning, do your shop
ping early, and make the last few
week ends for you and the one
and only.
MUSICIANS come to the fore,

INDIA'S MILLIONS RELIEVE
(,HANI)l TRULY GREAT LEADER
In this day of demagogues and
forceful personalities, there is one
individual who stands above all
others of modern times at least
in the opinion of the great mu
iorlty of India's 'MO millions. Ap
pusaiiab Chavan, of Barvadu
State, India, who is taking his
doctor's degree at the University
of Nebrasku, expressed the opin
ion of his fellow-countrynien when
he described Mohandas Karameh
ttnd Ghandl as a 'truly great and
truth-loving man."
Mean anil undersized though he
la in personal appearance, (jhandl
has he-come an anachronism in the
political world. He is an effective
orator and an arrogant dictator,
in hplte of his apparent meekness
and, according to the exchange
student from India, his influence
over his people is spiritual rather
than political.
"Ghandi teaches a doctrine' of
moral resistance. He has shown
that violence won't work," Chavan
stated, pointing out that no school
in India offers military training.
Ghandl's ideals are much the
same as those of the great reli
gious philosophers of the world in
the opinion of the botany graduate
student. "The difference Is that
his ideas have been adapted and
carried out ,n practical life," he
declared when questioned as to
the possibility of (Jhandi's merely
revamping the philosophies of
Tolstoy, of the Hindu Vedas, the
"Sermon on the Mount," or the
modern theosophy.
Ghandl Is a Hindu himself, but
aecoiding to his follower in the
University of Nebraska, he has
thoroughly studied Buddhism, Mo
hammedanism. Christianity, and
the other religions of the world.
Tho student from India was un
able to account for the lack of i
interest in Mahatma or "Great
Soul," as he is called, that is evi
dent in the United States today.
He suggested that It might be a
result of the many recent books
oescribing the sordid conditions
and the filth that are, in reality,
chaiaeteristic of only a small por
tion of modern Hindustan. In re
gard to this, Chavan cited Ghandi's
opinion: "Don't get excited about
it."
"It is to the great masses of the
people of India, those who make
up the eight percent agricultural
population, that Ghandi appeals."
Chavan commented, "but he is
revered not only in India, but
also by the people of Asia, Europe,
America, and ail parts of the
world. ' This Messiah of millions of
his fellow countrymen reflects the
aspirations of these masses, indi
viduals possessed with a desire
for industrial expansion, and the
pauperized millions kept from
open rebellion only by the firm
and experienced administration of
British imperialism.
Despite the fact that only about
14 percent of the population of
Inuia is literate. Chavan empha
sized the idea that Great Britain
ultimately can nils India only with
the aid of the native rulers of the
country. He recalled the fact that
at one time several of the high
officials of the government in
cluding the president of the Leg
islative Assembly, resigned. If all
men in the employ of the govern
ment had resigned at the same
time, the strike would undoubtedly
have charged England's attitude
toward India, he believes.
That the new constitution will
probably be no better than the old
is the general attitude of the na
tives of India in regard to the
document which is to go into ef
fect by 1937. This constitution
provides for a federal government
and provincial governments in the
280 small states to be represented
by the princes.
"The chief difficulty with the
new form of government will be
the sime as that which prevails
today. There are too many safe
guards. The representative of the
British government in reality has
complete control, because of the
fact that so many provisions are
attached to every grant of au
thority given to the Legislative
Assembly."
Emphatic in his statement that
there is no freedom of speech or
press in India, the native of Great
Britain's possession told of the
control which the mother country
exerts. "It is impossible to criti
cize a public official in my coun
try, as it is in yours," he asserted.
"It is even impossible to buy an
American made car, one must buy
British."
In considering the question of
Ind an government and Eritish
control, the question of the ex
treme poverty in the country and
its causes inevitably arises. For
it is a well known fact that India,
a country of natural wealth, is
one cf human poverty. With its
ORUIESIS GROUP DECORATES
1 OR ANNUAL RECITAL FRIDAY
By Mary Stewart.
Tlie west "ynihasiiiiii in Mfinoriiil hull lias lieen transformed
into h workshop lo crci.tt- n ImckjrrmiiKl of color for Friday's
Orehrsis dance recital, which is under the direction of Miss
Claudia Moore. Costumes for thp affair are of unusual beauty
and distinction, fitting to the mood of the dance.
1'irat rr ttt nrnp-ram is to be
! a Dance Suite composed of four
numbers. The first. "Courante, is
a lively and gay dance composed
mostly of modified running. It is
a dance of the folk people of
France. Costumes for this dance
are red, white apd black skirts
over black lictards.
"Sarabande" Second.
The second dance in this group is
called "Sarabande," the music from
Bach's "Dance Suite." which was
composed f jr a court dance and is
very stately. The costume is of
white and cream and is character
istic of the period with high bodice
and collar and stiff pointed sleeves.
The third dance of the series is
"Bouree" coming from the French
province of that name, in which
the peasants wear wooden shoes,
making the dance clumsy and
awkward. The costumes are bril-
liant and made after the peasant j
mode. i
"Gigue" is the fourth dance and
is in complete contrast to the pre-
vious selection. The music is in i
jig time, in groups of three. The I
costumes for this dance are of lav-
ender, formed in short tunics which
modern form of ronstitutional
government, its widespread net
work of ratlroiiis, its unique sys
tem of irrigation, Boveral large
scale industries, and at least 17
universities, India's people are
poor.
"India's people live at the mar
gin of BubHlstance," Chavan said.
He could cite no one particular
reason for the extreme poverty of
the masses, altho he believes that
the ever present floods and fam
ines have something to do with it.
Tho fact that population had in
creased 12 percent according to
the 1031 census, is undoubtedly
another cause of poverty. The
population has increased at the
cost of better living standards.
"Early marriages among the
people of India is believed by
many to be the cause of many
of the country's Ills," Chavan be
lieves. "It is true that there are
child marriages among the peo
ple, but in the American sense
they are not marriages at all.
An Indian marriage Is in reality
an engagement, and the married
couple does not live together until
the boy and girl are older."
The joint-family system is
practiced in India, which means
that all members of a family live
together in the same house. When
bovs are married, their wives come
to "live with their families.
Chavan sees in the system of
Instruction in the universities of
India one of the causes of unem
ployment which leads to poverty
in the country. It Is true, in his
opinion, that the universities con
fine themselves closely to culture
and do not equip men and women
for the practical jobs of lifer Form
erly an instructor in botany and
zoology in Baroda college, af
filiated with the University of
Bombay. Chavan Is encouraged by
the fact that about 10 percent of
the 14 percent of the population
that is literate has availed itself
of university opportunities.
"A young mans profession is
determined largely by the caste to
which he belongs. Chavan dis
closed. "The four castes are the
Priest, or "Brahmins," the warrior,
or "Kshatriyas," the merchant, or
"Vaisyas," ' and the labor, or
"Shudras."
Contrary to popular opinion in
this country, castes do not indicate
different religions. The great ma
jority of the people of India. 170
million, are followers of the Hindu
religion. Chavan described the
Hindu trinity, which includes the
Creator, "Brehma," the Preserver,
"Vishnu," and the Destroyer,
"Shiva," and the doctrine of
"Karma," which forms an impor
tant part of the Hindu religion.
According to this doctrine, a man
is born into the position that he
has earned by his conduct in a
previous incarnation.

SCHOLASTIC AVERAGES
' (Continued from Page 1).
Mr. Wilson first explained that the
L-shaped building could not be
placed upon the site that the
faculty committee has named. He
declared that there simply is not
enough space in the lot where
Ellen Smith hall now stands to ac
comodate that type of building.
Wilson Considers Plan.
Further discussion of the build
ing on the part of Wilson was that
"such a building would be much
more expensive and would require
a fund of $500,000. To add a
theater to such a building would
raise the expense of the one
structure far out of proportion to
the value of the other buildings on
the campus. An L-shaped build
ing would also be entirely out of
the scheme of architecture mat
has been carried out thus far in
campus buildings," Wilson de
clared.
In regard to the size of the ball
rooms of the proposed E-shaped
construction, Mr. Wilson was of
the opinion that they were quite
large enough. The new building
will contain one minor room wnicn
will be 40 by 75 feet or approxi
mately the size of the one in the
Lincoln hotel; and another which
will be 60 feet by 90 feet. For com
parison Wilson stated that the
Cornhusker ballroom is 48 feet
wide and S5 feet long.
Would Necessitate Change.
"It is my belief," added Wilson,
"that the Board of Regents wants
to co-operate with the student
body in every way possible in de
ciding the best building suitable
to the needs and preferences of
the campus, but if a theater will
ever be added a new site will
have to be found. In such a case
there is always a site available
just west of Andrev.s hall. In that
I have capulets of dark purple.
Individual Dances.
Individual dances in the recital
are on various themes. One is
called "Hungarian" which follows
the usual Hungarian theme, this
dance is perhaps one of the niost
colorful of any in the group. The
costumes for this dance are red
satin tunic with a gold blouse
which has large puffed sleeves.
One of the most unusual dances
is that called "Circular Motion,"
which attempts to create in the
mind of the observer the thought
of continual circles. The costumes
for this number are of pumpkin
yellow and rust.

were called upon to do so, he
could build the first unit in such
a manner ns to make the building
seem complete if the other wings
wore never aucicn.
Speaking for tho L-shaped build
ing, Arnold Levin, Student Coun
cil member, declared that there is
a "crying need" for a theater on
this campus to meet tho demands
for student forums and campus
productions.
' Irving Hill, cnairman 01 n.
Union building committee, ex
plained that there Is nothing in
the PWA application to preclude
a change in plans. It is only nec
essary to have Frank Latenser,
state PWA commissioner, to give
his approval.
