There has been a great increase
in the circulation of books in the

books were taken out, and 1,485
overnight books. From September
through January of this school

consists of journals, constitutions,
and proceedings of various labor
unions and of the American Fed-eration

MEMBERS OF FACULTY PRESENT
PERSONAL VIEWS ON INFLATION
Economics Instructors
Offer Opinions, Mostly
Favorable
“Credit inflation, rather than
currency inflation, is the soundest
inflation,” said Dr. Williams of
the Economics Department in an
interview on that question recent-ly.
“The thing that’s got to hap-pen
is to get the people to have
faith in the banks, so that banks
can lend more. Implied or actual
guarantee of deposits is one way
to bring this about,” Dr. Williams
continued.
Dr. Williams doesn’t think that
the President will have to issue
more currency. “The present cur-rency
will be sufficient since the
threat of such action may serve to
bring out hoarded money,” he
said. When asked what he
thought about changing the gold
content of the dollar, Dr. Wil-liams
declared that to do so would
be unfair to creditors and would
diminish return on investments.
“Most attempts at devaluation
have been unsuccessful,” he add-ed.
In discussing the silver ques-tion,
Dr. Williams declared that
he didn't favor silver at all. “It
is too artificial and difficult to get
rid of. It leaves the government
City Panhellenic
Association Holds
Annual Luncheon
Cup To Be Given Sorority With
Largest Representation
The city Panhellenic Associa-tion
will hold its annual luncheon
at the Pendennis Club at 12:30
o'clock Thursday, May 13. All
sorority women of the university
are cordially invited to attend.
Reservations may be left at the va-rious
sorority houses or at the
office of the Dean of Women.
As customary in the past* the
silver cup will be presented to the
alumnae group having the largest
percentage representation at the
luncheon. For the past two years
Delta Zeta has received the cup.
As one of the projects of the
city Panhellenic Association, a
registry of all Greek letter women
in the city with their addresses
and sorority affiliations is being
formulated under the supervision
of Mrs. Walter Moore. Copies of
the registry will be placed in both
the Kentucky and Brown hotels
for the use of transient women
who wish to locate various mem-bers
of their sororities here in
Louisville.
At the last business meeting of
the executive board of the associa-tion,
Mrs. A. Homberger, Sigma
Kappa faculty sponsor, was elect-ed
president. Miss Sara Landau,
Pi Beta Phi, was elected vice-presi-dent;
Mrs. Leslie Eggers, Alpha
Delta Pi, secretary, and Mrs. H.
M. Weeter, Zeta Tau Alpha fac-ulty
sponsor, treasurer.
“Woody” Brown is the latest
nominee for “Carnival King.” Or-ganisations
will receive an extra
ten percent votes for their nomi-nees
if their entries are sent in to
the Cardinal Office by Tuesday,
May 9.
“WOODY” BROWN
Scout Fraternity
To Be Established
A movement is in progress to
establish a local chapter of Alpha
Phi Omega, a national scout fra-ternity,
if one is established,
fore the chapter may be establish-ed,
there must have been a local
fraternity established for a period
of at least six months. This fra-ternity,
if any when established,
will be called Lambda Beta Sigma
until the time when it is able to
apply for a charter to the national
chapter.
This fraternity will not conflict
with any of the other fraternities,
as it will be classed as an honorary
organisation. To obtain member-ship,
one must have been, at one
time or another, a registered mem-ber
of the Boy Scouts of America.
Students of the professional
schools are cordially invited to co-operate
with the new organisa-tion.
At the present time, there are
forty chapters of Alpha Phi Ome-ga
established; there is one at the
University of Kentucky.
In order to establish the local
fraternity, Lambda Beta Sigma,
the faculty committee requires a
petition signed by as many stu-dents
as possible, who are inter-ested
in the success of this organi-sation.
Men who would like to
sign the petition please see a mem-ber
of the Advisory Committee
which includes: Bob Roulston,
Robert Sales, and Henry Baker.
“Bookworm” Idea
Taken Aback By
Harvard Students
The old belief that the bright-est
boy in the class always is a
“bookworm” was taken aback
somewhat recently when it was
found that Harvard’s five “super
scholars” are all “regular fellows.”
These students were chosen by
President A. Lawrence Lowell and
the Harvard Corporation as the
first members of the newly-form-ed
Society of Fellows at Harvard,
for their promise of notable con-tribution
to knowledge and
thought.
The most studious of the five is
John C. Miller, 25, of Tacoma,
Wash. He studies from ten to
twelve hours a day, but finds time
to play a banjo also. He’s demo-cratic
and “regylar” according to
classmates. Frederick M. Watkins,
25, of Providence, R. 1., another
of the group, likes to play the
piano, takes long walks, plays
squash, and dances for entertain-ment.
The three other members
of the society are likewise very ac-tive
in both curricular and extra-curricular
activities.

Advocates Teaching Of
More Practical Subjects
At a meeting of the Kentucky
Congress of the Parents’ and
Teachers' Convention at Somer-set,
Ky., recently, Mrs. B. F.
Langworth, vice president of the
National Congress of Parents and
Teachers, urged that more practi-cal
subjects be taught, mentioning
in particular social sciences and
languages. “The business and so-cial
life of today has greater need
of the modern languages than clas-sical,
in order that business may
be done easily and the essential
understanding between nations
that has been so lacking may be
fostered,” asserted the speaker.
She also recommended the substi-tution
of th 4 study of taxation
and such financial questions as in-vestment
and commercial bank-ing
for higher mathematics.
Conditions have so changed,
Mrs. Langworthy remarked, that
every boy and girl is expected to
go to high school. Attempts are
made, and should be made, to
help those financially unable to at-tend
school, so as to give 'privil-eges
to all people.
OLLIE MERSHON ELECTED
PRESIDENT OF CIVIC LEAGUE
Other Offices Go To Don-ahue,
Pope, and
Gyles
E. Ollie Mershon was elected
president of the University Civic
League at the annual business
meeting held Wednesday, May 3
over Cardinal Inn. J. Kenneth
Donahue was elected vice-presi-dent,
Lee Anna Pope, secretary,
and Merrill Gyles, treasurer.
At the same meeting a resolu-tion
was drawn up and submitted
to the newspapers opposing the
Spaulding Report concerning the
expansion of the Louisville Nor-mal
School into the Louisville
Teachers’ College. The resolution
condemned the plan because of
the duplication of services already
rendered by the University of
Louisville because it would prove
to be false economy to the tax-payer,
because the plan would be
to the detriment of Louisville chil-dren,
since many of them would
have student instead of experienc-ed
teachers.
