In a special disciplinary procedure instituted by the Student Guild of the University of Liverpool. 150 students were temporarily suspended from the Guild for having thrown stink bombs, flour and soot at the Shakespeare Theatre, thus causing public irritation at the occasion of "rag day." Rag day is the terminal event of the so-called pantomime week during which students traditionally stage demonstrations each year. The theatre, however, had purchased immunity by subscribing liberally to a student charity collection, a fact of which some students knew nothing. In a sort of court martial the disciplinary committee of the Guild of Undergraduates suspended first three, then a further 97 students for a week, depriving them of the privilege of using guild premises, and participating in sporting and social activities. The same evening another 50 students pleaded guilty of having participated in the jamboree. They were Included in the suspension. (The Times/Daily Telegraph, London.)

An institute for the study of Gandhist philosophy has been opened near Nagpur in the Central Province of India. The institute, which includes an international house for students from all countries, will be known as the Gandhi Gyan Mandir. The three buildings just inaugurated were constructed by teams of the Service Civil International, an organisation of voluntary work camps for youth founded in Europe in 1920, to promote friendship between countries. Volunteers from several European countries and from the United States worked with others from many parts of India to build the centre. (Unesco, Paris.)

Men students at McGill University(Montreal) can earn 20 dollars a day by submitting to experiments now being performed by the McGill Psychology Department. The object of the experiments is to determine the effect that the limiting of his senses has on a man's mental functioning. A student who needs part-time work can earn his money by lying in as mall cubicle, with his ears covered with earphones, his eyes blinded by goggles, and his hands gloved and immovable. Some students have lasted only nine hours, some for live days.(McGill Daily, Montreal.)
