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. 1000 CE DELEGATES HEAR DR.

SOFT DRINKS RYE BREAD SWISS CHEESE PICKLES at ■ ■ § 1 | University Grocery — (Across from Sigma Chi• 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.

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 ette had previously defeated the 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 hand to keep the fans on edge With lively marches. A regulai hot-dog and peanut concession | will be maintained, selling any thing but beer for the hungry spectators.

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.

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.
