it into effect. President Fagg said.
The money will be used to maintain SC’s high quality of instruction. encourage younger members of the faculty, attract other teachers to SC, and provide scholarships for additional superior students, he said.
Ask Alumni Alumni of SC will be asked for a half million dollars to start the fund. The other million dollars will be sought from the communi-I ty. A 25-year campaign to raise j $20 million for the scholarship and ' “great teacher” program was fore-I seen in line with the Century | Plan, which was announced earl-| ier this year.

ASIA HOTBED
Urge for Cause of
Equality
Revolts
By Maggie Christensen
The revolution now going on in India and many other parts of Asia is not coming from the teachings of Marx, Lenin, or Stalin, but from a deep psychological urge the people have to be regarded as equal to their western neighbors.
Dr. Floyd H. Ross of the School of Religion, speaking at
the Faculty Club luncheon yesterday, said that the center of this feeling is in the Indian people, who “no longer intend to be treated as second class citizens on this planet.”
He said that there are a few communist groups in India trying to capitalize on the surge toward independence and self respect, but they are not powerful.
Biggest Influences
“The biggest influences in India tofiav are the memory of Mahatma Gandhi; and the philosophy of Prime Minister Nehru. Both of these men follow the doctrine of non-violence and non-hatred, and the people follow’ them.”
He said that Nehru is very popular in India and the best friend that the United States Department of State has today, although no one seems to realize it. He will do anything to keep India out of war, since a wartime inflation would ruin her economically, according to Ross Force Nehru "We seem to be trying to force Nehru over to the left, disregarding the scores of communist pri-' soners he holds without the right of habeas corpus. He is strongly opposed to communism and its methods, and feels that the means and the end to anything are inseparable, that the only way to a democratic independence is through democratic parliamentary methods.”
Ross just returned from a year’s study in India. Whilt he was
there studying one of the Hindu reform movements, he and his family lived as the only foreign family in a primitive village of more than 2000 Indians, where there were “one burner plate, no running water, no glass, no screens, and several monsoons.” He said that while he was there he discovered that the problems of India in relations to the rest of the w'orLd were “no longer a matter of logistics, but a matter of feeling.”
Respect British The Indians now hve a tremendous respect for the British, according to Dr. Ross, because “they never thought they would actually get out, so they nearly fell over from surprise when they did,” but they are afraid of American economic imperialism.
“Being able to raise their own flag still won’t take away the inferiority complex that years of exploitation has given them,” he said. “They are suspicious of any money coming, and of any attempt to draw them into a military pact.”
He said that the United States made a big mistake when, in 1945 when India was starving, we hesitated so long about sending them shiploads of excess wheat. Our second big mistake was a military pact with Pakistan which gave U.S. arms to that country.

the Commerce Council a specific task in carrying out projects.
“I would like to have a delegate from each professional fraternity and sorority on the council as well as the regular members.” She continued, “then I would have a council of these organization presidents to work with me on common problems, such as equal publicity. equal representation, and the cosponsorship of events.”
Job Advisement She proposes to start job advisement early in spring: to help not only seniors but other students as well: and she encourages more senior-alumni luncheons, similar to the recent one. during homecoming.
Barker plans to put pencil sharpeners in every room in Bridge Hall and to have a complete instructor rating survey.
He agrees wnth his opponent that representatives from the various professional fraternities
mediate past president of the American Chemical Society, will become an honorary member. Other new members will be Dave Russell, Frieda Walbrecht, Dr. Paul White, head of the mathematics department, and Dr. Richard W. Van Alstyne, professor of history.
Chester Versteeg, Los Angeles insurance man and SC alumnus, founder of the club, will speak in memory of Haney S. Mudd. honorary' member who died recently.
Color slides of an ascent of Trojan Peak will be shown by Noble Trenham, student. President Schruben and Donald Griffin, associate professor of civil engineering. Parker Severson will show color slides of a climb of the Matterhorn and he Bavarian Alps. Charles Graves, professor of physical education, wall show slides of Yosemite and Lake Tahoe. A color movie, “The Grand Canyon.” will be shown by General Petroleum Corp.
