arranged so that each student has
a chance to act as attorney. Pro

tirely fictitious, the proceedings
will be carried on to resemble an
actual case.
The first case concerns the pur

leaves his book in his locker in the
lav/ school. The next morning :t
is gone, for a Mr. Leedy has bor
rowed it and has by mistake re
turned it to the locker of Mr.
Cheney.
Mr. Riehl posts a notice asking
for his book, and in it he inti
mates that whoever took the book
is a thief. He later finds the book
in the locker of Mr. Cheney and ;
thereupon accuses him of stealing
the book. Cheney reciprocates by
slapping Riehl. Riehl then posts a
notice in which he says that Che
ney will get what is coming to
him.
Cheney has for his attorneys
Otto Bowman and Francis Hill. He
i3 sueing Riehl for $5000 for libel
and slander. Preston Gunther and
Don Moe are acting as attorneys

Libe Will Honor
Henry Van Dyke
In commemoration to Dr. Henry
Van Dyke, whose death April 10
is mourned the world over, a new
shelf exclusively for his books is
being created at the old libe. In
ternationally known as a teacher,
clergyman and author, Van Dyke
lived a life that highly confirmed
the title given him as “Doctor of
Letters and Life.”
A prolific author in a wide range
of fields, Dr. Van Dyke was poet,
essayist, fiction writer, religious
writer and portrayer of the out
doors which he loved. Still in con
stant demand is his “The Other
Wise Man,” written in 1896.
His outstanding novels are “The
Ruling Passion,” “The Blue Flow
er,” and “The Open Door.” Of the
outdoors he wrote “Fisherman’s
Luck” and “Litle Rivers.” His
first volume of poetry, “The Build
ers, and Other Poems,” was pub
lished in 1897 during his first
years as pastor in New York.

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.
Dr. Parsons’ report which was
based on the answers to question
naires given to 5500 students in
colleges and universities west of
theRocky. mountains showed that
91 per cent of those questioned
were influenced by religion. Three
thousand nine hundred five of the
5500 were of families in which
both parents were church members.
Four hundred ninety came from
homes of which the parents were
not affiliated with a church.
77 Per Cent Attend Church
To dispel the fact that few stu
dents attend church, the report
showed that 77 per cent of those
questioned had regular or occa
sional contacts with the church.
Such clubs as Wesley, Newman
and Westminster claimed 1,316 as
members. The report showed that
a larger per cent of freshmen
were church members than sen
iors; the percentage difference be
ing very small, however.
Yesterday noon a luncheon was
given at the men’s dormitory at
which time short talks were made
by M. Willard Lampe, head of the
religious school at the University
of Iowa; J. R .Sasnett, head of the
Wesley Foundation at Seattle; Dr.
R. R. Martin of the University of
Washington; Father William Ca
rey, registrar of Columbia univer
sity of Portland; Dr. E. W. War
renton, chair of religion at Oregon
State college, and Dr. Philip A.
Parsons, sociology professor of the
University of Oregon, who is pres
ident of the Pacific coast division.
Dr. Parsons acted as toastmaster.

OSC, UO Have Same
Cumulative Enrollment
According to the informational
service, the cumulative enrollment
at the state college and the Uni
versity now are identical at 2509.
Cumulative enrollment means the
number of different students reg
istered for all three terms.
However, the University leads
the two schools this term, accord
ing to the service, with 2046 to
1969 at the college. This is the first
time the University has excelled
in enrollment in modern years.
j INFLATION “■Sc,b''
By JULIAN PRESCOTT
Fourteen questions about the
possible effects of the inflation
program recently announced by
President Roosevelt have been pre
sented to several members of the
economics and business adminis
tration faculties. 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

Program for Today To Include
Hound Table Meet
At Condon
The forum on Pacific affairs
opened formally yesterday with
four round table discussions, two
being held simultaneously. From
1:30 to 3 the round table discus
sions held were: “Problems of Eco
nomic Geography of the Pacific
Area,” presided over by Warren
D. Smith, an authority on geog
raphy, geology, and Christianity
and religious development in east
ern Asia.
Dr. Smith presented material
showing the distribution of min
erals in the Far East; he pointed
out which are important in war
fare and in industrial competition.
He also justified Japan's entry
into Manchuria, and stated that
she was driven to do it.
Cressman to Talk
He discussed the strategic situ
ation of the Philippines and de
clared that the islands were a
tempting morsel to several na
tions, and introduced a tentative
scheme by which the nations of
the Pacific can distribute raw ma
terials without war by forming a
Pacific Regional League of Na
tions.
At today’s forum to be held at

ing of the earliest man in Asia.
Led by Rev. Clay E. Palmer
Rev. Clay E. Palmer, leading the
discussion on “Christianity and
Religious Developments in Eastern
^sia,” stated: “True religion is
always a unifying force. What
ever is genuinely divisive is non
religious, whatever unites is re
ligious.
“True religion is universal. A
universal religion makes for inter
nationalism. Religion is Truth and
Love; Truth and Love subordinate
national interests to humanity.
Christ’s religion always has and
always will transcend national
ism.”

L H. 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.
