University Prepares To Welcome 200 Prep Athletes May 20
State’s High
School Stars
Will Compete
Imcrscholastic Track and
Field Meet Planned
Hayward Field To Be Scene of
Tournament; District
Results Awaited
The University is prepared to
receive approximately 200 high
school athletes who will meet here
in the state high school inter
schclastic track meet to be held
on Hayward field May 20, but
must wait until the results of dis
trict meets are turned in, it was
announced yesterday by Tom
Stoddard, assistant graduate man
ager, who is promoting the meet.
Previous to this year the meet
was held annually at Oregon
State college, but the board of
higher education decided that it
should be alternated each year
between the two campuses.
Friday, May 19, one day prior
to the high school meet, the Uni
versity will have a track meet
against Oregon State which will
give the youthful athletes an op
portunity to see fast college com
petition.
In other years it was the custom
for any school to enter as many
contestants as it chose, but this
year the state is being divided in
to eight districts, the first and
second places to compete in the
meet here. In the case of district
eight, which comprises the Port
land High School Athletic associ
ation, the four first places in the
event will be eligible to compete
on Hayward field.
Eliminations in the districts will
be run off either May 6 or 13 and
the results must be in the office
of the graduate manager not later
than May 15, Stoddard stated. The
new system will correspond to
that used in Washington, Idaho,
and other surrounding states.

CINEMA
“Sweepings," at the McDonald,
i is one of those good pictures that
j just miss being great. Lionel Bar
l rymore holds the center of the
1 stage convincingly throughout the
entire course of the show—in fact
the picture is Lionel's, and he plays
a part such as he has learned to
I do to perfection.
“Sweepings" is organized on
epic lines. Starting with the Chi
cago fire, it traces the steady rise
of a department store owner, who
builds a gigantic business in the
hope of giving it to his children.
The children are hopeless—one a
drunk, one an incompetent, one a
spoiled beauty, and one a drifter
. . . and the old man’s heart
breaks. There's your picture.
Lionel hardly had to change his
stance through the entire course
of the evening—he's grown quite
accustomed to his role. But at that
he did some sterling acting. It’s
a good-enough picture, and the
children, among them William
Gargan and Eric Linden, are quite
convincingly spoiled.
The Colonial is continuing with
Beery in "Flesh"—which is worth
your time. Without the pathos of
the "Champ," since there is no
Skippy to act as foil, it obviously
is making money on the same pre
text, and at that you'll like it,
mainly because of Beery.
K^ren Morley is as attractive as
ever. She is cast to her usual
hard-boiled type—this time with a
little of the heart-of-gold formula
mixed in.
* * *
D'you remember the priest in
"Farewell to Arms,” by name,
Jack La Rue ? He is by way of
being in the favored spot at Hol
lywood this year, playing the role
George Raft refused, that of Pop
eye in Faulkner's "Sanctuary,” be
ing filmed as the “Story of Temple
Drake.”
Raft called the role “screen sui
cide.” LaRue called it “his big
chance”—and so it is. But he’s
taking a chance. Popeye is prob
ably the most horrible of modern
villains, and the public reaction to
it will spell millions for the erst
while screen priest, or it will spell
oblivion. That’s one picture I wish
they'd hurry up.
Present Crisis Due to Moral
Breakdown, Says Dr. Foster
“Leaders of thought in all
realms of life today realize that
the present crisis is at bottom a
moral breakdown, and that this in
turn has been due to very definite
causes,” stated Dr. O. D. Foster,
executive secretary of the North
American Board of Religion and
Higher Education, who played an
important part in the recent con
ference on this campus.
“Civilizations have stood or have
fallen in accordance with the
strength and quality of the two
main supports upon which they
have rected—that is, education and
religion. Because of the separa
tion of church and state, religion
has been divorced from education,
with the consequent lack of moral
sanctions in the educational pro
cess. Realizing these facts, na
tional leaders and authorities in
state education and religion, Cath
olic, Jewish, and Protestant, have
organized the North American
Board for the study of religion in
higher education, in the hope that
through cooperative study and
programs a more adequate philoso
phy of education, wholly Ameri
can, may be worked out and a bet
ter product in education be se
cured,” was Dr. Foster's state
ment.
The principle of cooperation
without compromise permits the
four groups to bring their com
bined strength to bear upon the
accomplishment of any agreed ob
jective.' In searching the rightful
place of moral and religious cul
ture in the educational process the
North American Board hopes to
aid in bringing to the next gen
eration of students those funda
mental character influences, which
have been denied this generation.
The North American Board,
seeks to work through local, state,
regional and national projects and
programs. The first region it has
organized is the Pacific coast area,.
Dr. Philip A. Parsons, of the Uni
versity of Oregon, because of his
unusual fitness for the work, was
elected the first president of the
Pacific coast division. He was
asked to conduct a preliminary i
survey of the universities and col
leges in the area, to discover just
what the exact situation is, in or
der that a program might be built
to meet the needs discovered.
Dr. Parsons, officials of the or
ganization say, has secured results

far surpassing the fondest expec
tations of the groups assigning
the task. The volume of data se
cured by Dr. Parsons is immense.
“To whatever lengths the North
American Board may ever go in
securing for moral and religious
culture its rightful place in the
educational process, it will always
be most deeply indebted to the
University of Oregon and to Dr.
Parsons for these basic prelimin
ary studies,’’ said Dr. Foster. “A
work of great national significance
has been wrought in your midst.
The entire staff of our great or
ganization can be thankful to Dr.
Parsons.’’
BALL SEASON TO OPEN IN
MAJOR LEAGUE FASHION
(Continued front Page One)
from La Grande normal, is the
other ace. Either Charles or Gem
mell will probably start the game
tomorrow.
The Webfoots will play with a
revamped lineup today. One
drastic change Reinhart has made
is in shifting “Duke” Shaneman,
captain of the team, to right field.
Chuck Hoag, a veteran of great
experience behind the plate, will
start tomorrow. Another change
in the lineup that will undoubt
edly take place is at shortstop
and second base. “Chip” Chatter
ton, who has been covering the
short post, will take over his old
job at second, and Fred Sears will
probably fill in at shortstop. Lee
Chester at first base and Ernie
Garbarino at third will retain their
posts.
The outfield has been causing
Reinhart many sleepless nights.
There is a wealth of fly-chasing
material, but little hitting power.
Three likely starters today in
clude: A1 McKelligon, left field;
Wes Clausen, in center field; and
Shaneman in right. Bud Van Dine
may also break into the regular
lineup somewhere in the outfield,
along with Bill Greene, another
nifty fielder.
Cliff-dwellers Unknown Quantity
Little is known of the ability
of the Cliff-dweller nine, except
that the Columbia boys upset the
Willamette varsity recently in a
last inning rally, 3 to 2. Willam

Oregon State outfit by five runs.
Today’s game is the first of a
season of 15 contests, including
games with all the state colleges
available.
The University band will be on

INFLATION
As O. K. Burrell
Sees It
By JULIAN PRESCOTT
t'URTHER statements by O. K.
* Burrell, associate professor of
business administration, are being
published in this issue of the Em
erald. The first installment of his
answers to the 14 questions pre
sented to four members of the fac
ulty appeared yesterday.
The answers cover various phas
es of President Roosevelt's pro
gram of inflation of 'he credit and
currency systems of the United
States. They were prepared by
Mr. Burrel after careful study of
the implications of each question.
Two more sets of answers will
appear in the Emerald next week.
They have been prepared by Dr.
Victor P. Morris and Dr. Calvin
Crumbaker, both of the economics
faculty.
The questions and Mr. Burrel’s
answers follow:
Q. Is not the plan for retire
ment of the greenbacks ona4
■ per-cent-a-year basis merely re
funding the debt of the govern
ment ? If so, is this good econom
ic policy?
A. The plan for the retirement
of the greenbacks at 4 per cent
per year, of course, amounts to
retiring a part of the debt of the
government. I am old fashioned
enough to believe that the syste
matic retirement of debt is good
economic policy. The substitution
of greenbacks for bonds would not
increase the amount of govern
ment credit outstanding but would
serve to convert this outstanding
credit into money.
Q. Is not this plan of reduction
of the gold content of the dollar
evading the real issue in the for
eign trade problem. Are not pay
ments in foreign trade made on a
basis of gold rather than on a ba
sis of dollars, or of pounds, or of
francs ?
A. I am unable to see any fun
damental connection between the
reduction of the gold content of
the dollar and the foreign trade
problem. It is likely that wages,
salaries, and other costs would ad
just themselves somewhat more
slowly to the changed definition of
the dollar and exporters might
have a temporary advantage until
these costs became adjusted.
Q. Is it not likely that the la
boring man, the salaried man, the
farmer will suffer more from a
general rise in prices than he will
gain ?
A. In general it is my opinion
that the laboring man, the salar
ied man and the farmer will all
gain more from a general rise in
prices than they will lose. This is
on the assumption that the rise in
prices is kept within ‘'reasonable”
bounds. While there will undoubt
edly be a lag between the rise in
wages and salaries and the price
level all of those who are unem
ployed or whose employment is
not secure will gain immediately
from Inflation.
The Laboring Man
Q. Is it likely that the volume
of business will be stimulated by
rises in prices due to artificial in
flation of the currency of the na
tion ?
A. On the basis of both logic
and historical precedent it seems
likely that the physical volume of
business would be stimulated by
inflation of the currency.
Q. Is it likely that the demand
for farm produce will be increased
any by a general rise in prices ?
A. It seems likely that the de
mand for farm products will be in
creased by a general rise in prices.
Deflation has progressed to a
point where it has reduced the pur
chasing power of many creditors
as well as debtors. A general rise
in the price level through infla
tion wou'el increase the purchas
ing powei of all debtors and those
of creditors whose margin of safe
ty is imprired. A rise in prices
would, of ourse, impair the pur
chasing poAer of those creditors
who hold . ich securities as govern
ment bonds the payment of which
would not be in doubt even in the
event of further deflation.
Q. What class or classes of per
sons will gain from an inflation of
the currency? What proportion of
the whole population of the nation
does this group represent? If the
debtor class, who are they ? Busi
ness men? Farmers? Bankers?
Corporations with great quantities
of securities outstanding and due
to mature?
The Debtor Class
A. In general, of course, it is
the debtor class and the more
poorly secured creditors who gain
from inflation of the currency. It
is difficult to estimate what pro
portion of the whole population of
the nation is involved. Most peo
ple are both debtors and creditors.
Banks, insurance companies, and
industrial corporations probably
owe to depositors, policy holders,
and bond holders about as much as
is due them from customers and
on securities owned. In total, debt
orship and creditorship are equal
but this does not necessarily im
ply that the number of individuals
who are mainly debtors is equal to
the number of individuals who are
mainly creditors As a very rough
j guess I should ^ay, however, that
i the number of individuals who are
debtors on balance is about equal
to the number of individuals who
are creditors on balance.
Q. Wasn't it bitter experience
that drove practically all nations
of the world to abandon bimetallic
standards for the gold standard ?
Are there any nations of economic
importance on ,a bimetallic stan
dard?
A. So far as 1 know bimetallism
has never worked satisfactorily in
any nation. There is no sound rea
son, however, why bimettalism
would not work upon an interna
tional basis provided the ratio was
fixed upon a basis consistent with
the facts of relative production
and stocks of the two metals.
Q. What has been the experi
ence of countries with fiat money?
A. Irredeemable paper money
has been ordinarily the last resort
of an impoverished nation or of a
nation at war. It is also true that
in nearly every instance where a
nation has been forced onto a fiat
money basis that extraordinary
political pressure plus dire neces
sity ha:; resulted in continued ex
pansion of the currency until fin
ally repudiation resulted. Some
times nations forced onto a fiat
money basis have been able to
struggle back to the previous gold
parity. Sometimes nations forced
onto a fiat money basis have re
sumed redemption of currency up
on a basis somewhat lower than
the previous parity.
The experience of Sweden since
the abandonment of the gold stan
dard by that country in Septem
ber, 1931, offers some evidence that
a currency can be managed. In
September, 1931, Sweden divorced
her currency both from gold and
from sterling and by a conserva
tive policy of issuance and redemp
tion of currency has managed to
maintain the internal price level
at practically a constant level—
and this in the face of world-wide
price chaos.
Q. What will be the status of
notes made payable in gold coin
of specified weight and fineness?
A. This is an interesting ques
tion. There is a recent English
decision which holds that the gold
clause is not operative and that
debts payable in gold coin of a
specified weight and fineness may
be satisfied by the payment of the
face of the debt in currency in the
event that the nation is off the
gold standard. This decision, of
course, does not necessarily apply
to the United States. I feel con
fident, however, that the supreme
court would be able to "interpret"
the constitution in such a way as
to render the gold clause inopera
tive and of no effect at the time
when currency is not redeemable
in gold.
Charley Devens, of Boston and
Harvard, rookie pitcher with the
Yankees, is the only member of the
social register in the big show.
Soloist Sunday
Above is Jane Thacher, pianist,
who will be the soloist with the
University Symphony orchestra at
McArthur court Sunday afternoon
in Grieg's concerto for piano and
.orchestra. The concert begins at 8
and will he free to students and
the general public.
TONGUE, SUOMELA, BUSH
NOMINATED FOR POSTS
(Continued from Vatic One)
not recognize the student who
brought it up. All amendments
will be voted upon Thursday at the
same ti meas elections.
Shortly before yesterday's meet
ing adjourned, Dave Wilson arose
from the floor and spoke against
the judiciary committee's recent
statement giving it the power to
determine whether the executive
council had "good and sufficient"
reasons for acting on candidates
for posts. Wilson claimed this was
usurping the power of the students
and said such jurisdiction did not
constitute student government. He
said the Emerald's support of the
judiciary committee was not sur
prising in that the paper had been
very fortunate in its relations with
the committee on several previous
occasions.
Dick Neuberger Replies
Wilson was answered by Dick
Neuberger, editor of the Emerald,
who said the judiciary committee
was analagous partially on >. this
campus to what the U. S. supreme
court was in national government.
He declared such a check was vi
tally necessary, as witness the su
preme court. He also said if Wil
son contemplated doing away with
such powers that he start in a
larger field and communicate with
President Roosevelt regarding the
supreme court.
The proposed amendments are
printed in today’s Emerald on page
three. This is in accordance with
the requirements of the constitu
tion.

Jane Thacher
To Appear As
Piano Soloist
—
' Featured on Sunday Bill
With Orchestra
Grieg Concerto Chosen; Varied
Program for Orchestra
Scheduled
With Jane Thacher, noted Uni
versity pianist, as soloist, the Uni
versity Symphony orchestra will
present its fourth concert on the
A. S. U. O. series at McArthur
court Sunday afternoon at 3
o’clock. The concert will be free to
students and the public.
Mrs. Thacher, who has been a
member of the University music
faculty for many years, is known
as one of the best concert pianists
on the coast. Before coming to
Eugene, she studied in Vienna un
der noted European pianists. She
has given many concerts through
out the Middle and Far West, and
her occasional Eugene recitals
have established a wide circle of
admirers among students and
townspeople.
It has been several years since
Mrs. Thacher has appeared with
the University orchestra, and her
coming concert has created wide
spread interest ever since it was
announced a't a feature of the A.
S. U. O. seres last January. Last
fall Mrs. Thacher was invited by
Willem van Hoogstraten to appear
as soloist with the Portland Sym
phony orchestra in the concert
that was scheduled for Eugene be
fore restriction of student body
budgets caused its cancellation.
Mrs. Thacher was to have played
the Grieg concerto for piano and
orchestra with the Portland Sym
phony, and it is that concerto that
she has chosen for her Sunday ap
pearance. The Grieg concerto is
universally popular because of its
dashing style and its many beau
tiful themes, but at the same time
it is ranked as one of the greatest
concertos for piano and orchestra
from the musician’s standpoint.
The piano concerto is scheduled
for last place on the program.
Rex Underwood, director of the
I orchestra, has arranged a bal
anced and interesting orchestral
program to precede the concerto.
