Gandhi's work to be
celebrated this week
By Adam Breen
Staff Writer
The non-violent life of Mahatma Gandhi
is being celebrated this week with a photo
exhibition of the human rights leader oh the
second door of the Henry Madden Library.
Sudarshan Kapoor, professor of social
work education and coordinator of the Peace
and Conflict Studies Program, said the
exhibition is part of the celebration of
Gandhi's I23rd birthday October 2.
The display includes 27 photographs of
Gandhi from age seven through the funeral
procession following his assassination on
January 30,1943.
"The purpose of the display is to remind
people on the campus of Gandhi's teach¬
ings and ideals," said Kapoor. "He is impor¬
tant today because his message has great
relevance.
"People arc going to have different ways
of looking at things, but we don't have to
break each other's heads to solve con flicts."
Kapoor said the exhibition provides an
excellent opportunity for faculty, students
and staff at CSUF to develop more respect
and tolerance for each other by remember¬
ing Gandhi's message of non-violence.
The exhibit includes pictures of Gandhi
taking part in civil disobedience in South
Africa, nursing the sick, and wiping the
tears from poor people as they spoke with
him.
Suchita Madhwani, a senior exercise
science major, helped with the exhibit by
selecting photos from a book of Gandhi's
life and assisting with the display.
"I think it is important for people to have
knowledge and be aware of a person the
caliber of Gandhi," she said. "He belongs to
everybody, not just the people of India."
Kapoor said the display, which was put
together with the help of the Instructional
Media Center, cost about $500.
A garlanding ceremony celebrating
Gandhi's birthday will be held Friday from
noon until 1 p.m. in the Peace Garden near
Gandhi's bust located between the library
and the Education/Psychology Building.
"We're asking people to bring flowers
for the bust because flowers arc an expres¬
sion of love and respect," Kapoor said.
"There will be singing and dancing as well."

Trjerc has only been one rape at Califor¬
nia State University, Fresno during the past
three years, according to crime statistics
published by the University Police Depart¬
ment.
But, Tom Boyle, Director of Student
Life, said, "You and I both know that data is
not accurate."
Data which comes from law enforce¬
ment officials depends on what is reported,
Boyle said.
Boyle said that the most accurate, cur-
jentdata is from a thesis project authored by
^endy Hughes and Michelle Hurtz in May
1992. , *
"Hughes and Hurtz' thesis was done in
a very careful manner; I have a lot of con¬
fidence in what it says," Boyle said.
In their thesis, Hughes and Hurtz con¬
tend that 27.9 percent of the undergraduates
surveyed had experienced some form, of
dating violence and 20.2 percent indicated
that they had actively participated in dating
violence.
University Police Department Ll Ste¬
ven R. King agreed that the rape statistics
don't realistically reflect crime on the cam¬
pus.
King said, "For instance, last year there
was a reported case of date rape in which
there wasn't sufficient evidence to bring
charges."
"Incidents like that do not show up in our
