I Parsons Says j Religion Is Still Part Of School — i Report Rased on Results Of Questionnaires _ MANY GO TO CHURCH I Visitors to Conference Djscuss All Phases of Education And Creeds That religion is not a dead issue in our colleges and universities was conclusively revealed in Dr. Philip A. Parsons’ report on re ligion and h.’gher education, which was the central theme of yester day’s activities at the second an nual conference of the Pacific coast division of the North Amer ican Board for Study of Religion in Higher Education now being held on the University campus.

Three thousand nine hundred five of the 5500 were of families in which both parents were church members.

Such clubs as Wesley, Newman and Westminster claimed 1,316 as members.

The first set of answers, those by Dr. James H. Gilbert, dean of the college of so cial sciences and professor of eco nomics, appear today. The other sets have been pre pared by Dr. Victor P. Morris, pro fessor of economics; O. K. Burrell, associate professor of business ad ministration, and Dr. Calvin Crum baker, associate professor econom ics. They will appear in later is sues of the Emerald this week. Questions Logical Questions such as might arise in the mind of a business man or wo man who has only * a fundamental .knowledge of economics and the workings of our currency system have been asked. The answers are not lengthy expositions of econom ic theory but are comparatively terse statements based on exten sive study of the functioning of the American financial and com mercial system. The seven points of Roosevelt's inflation program follow: For expansion of credit up to $3,000,000,000 through pur chase of government obliga tions by the federal reserve banks. As an alternative, for the inflation of the currency by is suance of greenbacks up to $3,000,000,000 under the act of 1802 such currency to be le gal tender for all debts, public and private. For use of such greenbacks to meet all maturing govern ment obligations and to pur chase government obligations. For retirement of such greenbacks at the rate of 4 per cent a year. For reduction of the gold content of the dollar not more than 50 per cent for the pur pose of protecting American AS ADVOCATES SEE EFFECTS OF INFLATION J As prices rise, following inflation, producers of raw materials, such as farmers, get increased income from their goods. These Increases send retail prices up to the benefit of the industrialist and the business man. Their profits enable higher wages and salaries, but usually these do not come as soon as higher prices. The chart' shows how prices bounded up during the war inflation of credit and how wage rates lagged behind them. foreign trade from the effects of depreciated foreign curren cies and to enable the presi dent to negotiate an interna tional agreement stabilizing monetary standards. For acceptance of war debt payments up to an aggregate of $100,000,000 in silver at a value of not more than 50 cents an ounce. For coinage of such silver and deposit in the treasury for redemption of silver certifi cates to be used for paying ob ligations of the United States. Answers Will Disagree Since a great number of factors must be taken into consideration in answering any valid questions on the possible functioning of such (Continued on Page Two) Potluck Supper At Y.

Anderson Discovers Eyedness Effects Reading Validation of the theory that eyedness and handedness have a direct effect upon reading and range of attention scores, has been demonstrated recently by Irving Anderson of the psychology de partment. The technique employed was suggested by Dr. H. R. Crosland, professor in the psychology depart ment and used by Anderson as a means of obtaining data for his master's thesis. The subjects of this investiga tion have been a group of defect- j ive readers and spellers and the! large majority of these people j have been found to be left-eyed, j i The original test was made on 120 people, 60 men and 60 women. Of these, 15 of each sex were left-j handed but right-eyed; 15 of each, sex left-handed and left-eyed; 15 of each sex right-handed but left- j eyed, and the remaining 15 of each1 sex right-handed and right-eyed. I Exposure cards containing nine letters each, in nonsense order, I i were then made. Twenty-seven; were used in the experiment. Of these, nine were printed so that the fifth letter fell on the point of fixation; nine were printed with the first letter on the point of fixation, and the other nine were printed so that the ninth letter fell at the point of fixation. After some practice trials the cards were shuffled and presented at random through an exposure apparatus. Findings revealed that right eyed people tend to see letters best to the left of the fixation point, the same being true of the right-hand ed ones but to a lesser extent. Com binations of the same eye domi nance and hand preference showed a greater effect upon attentional position than either did alone. The left-eyed people exhibited an advantage in recall of letters to the right of the fixation point. The left-handed people were the same to a lesser degree and the combination had the same effect to the right as was stated above in speaking of those who saw to the left. This led to the theory that left eyed people might have trouble in their reading since they tend to focus to the right half of the read ing page whereas good reading depends upon getting the first part of sentences clearly in mind.
