Unless Trojan studenta contribute some excellent manuscripts this year, it is feared that again S. C. will not share in the laurels of the annual prize essay contest sponsored by the Alumni association of Phi Beta Kappa, which ends at 6 p. m. April 1, 1931.
Whittier college. Occidental col lege, U. C. L. A., Pomona college, and Redlands university were winners in the 1929-80 contest, while not one essay was submitted to the finals by a Cardinal and Gold writer.
“Apparently our students have not in the past taken enough interest in the contest because we have not been winning. They have not taken the trouble to write for it. Such a condition la almost as bad as if we had no talent at all on the campus.” Dr. Frank C. Touton. secretary-treasurer of the association and vice-president of the university said in regard to the contest.
Dr. Touton. “In the flrst place, the Phi Beta Kappa Alumni feel that excellence of writing is a worthy accomplishment for college people and that offering a prize will stimulate the expending of energy in the direction of writing.
“In the second place, the organization has a motive or self-preservation in planning the contest. It feels tbat it should maintain its Interest in intelligent affairs. By making copies of the essays, to be placed ln the libraries of southern California colleges, Its members are enabled to read what up-lo-the minute college

FUTURE OF GANDHI RULE ENDANGERED
NEW DELHI, India, Mar. 23-(UP)—Tbe political future of tbe Mahatma M. K. Gandhi, elderly Independence leader, was believed jeopardized today, on the eve of the convention of the All-India congress, Nationalist organization, which formally opens at Karachi on Thursday.
The rising indignition among Ihe young extremists against Gandhi— for whom his followers In the past had an almost religious reverence —was seen as one of tire obstacles to the attainment of his goal. He will seek ratification of his recent accord, signed with Lord Irwin, viceroy, which resulted in a truce In the civil disobedience campaign against British rule.
The congress Is to decide whether the Nationalist party will join the proposed second India round table conference or resume the campaign of reslstence. Gand hi, staking his political life ou acceptance of his accord with Lord Irwin, has declared he will retire from politics and go Into seclus lon if the congress does not sup port him.
Two Other developments threaten to complicate the Karachi con vention: 1. Despite long conferences, Gandhi has failed to accomplish a settlement of the Hin-du-Mosiem differences; 2. His effort* to save Ghagat Siugalt, young extremist leader condemned lo death for killing a police commissioner at Lahore, have failed so far.
The government refused Gand hi'u appeal and refused to permit relatives to interview Singh lo obtain his own signature to a petition for clemency. Singh and two others are scheduled to be executed this week.
These incidents have added to the dissension among the younger elements supporting Gandhi, and the outcome of the congress was regarded as doubtful. Gandbl recently has been subjected to disrespect fiom the opposition of those in hia ranks who seek lo reject.
