Faculty Will Lose Doubly With Inflation, Hasek Says • "If prices go. up, with salaries re= maining fixed, the faculty loses, and with the threat of a-possible cut, loses doubly," Dr. Carl W. Hasck, of the' department of economics and soci ology, said in an interview concerning the effect of the recent inflationary measures to the College. Dr. Hasek stated that with the amount of the State appropriation def initely fixed, and the amount 'of the federal provision' fixed, once decided upon, an increase in resources for the I College is unlikely. "The only way for the College to! keep up with inflation is to sell Col lege dairy And farm products. The income ,will be fairly well fixed even with prices going up—depending upon the .building program of 'the • Federal government.. With salary cuts threat ened, however, the faculty may sat fer," the 'economist said. "This inflation is.. really a process of raising the price level. 'lt's a game of ,getting prices to move up, and HI they 'do, they are not likely to move STATE COLLEGE, PA.-, TUESDAY, MAY, 16, 1933 , PRESIDENT HETZEL SPEAKS AT ANNUAL SCHOLARSHIP DAY Declares That 'Well, Educated Student of Present Day' Shows Great Promise ENDRESS '33 RECEIVES JOHN W.

Costs are likely to ascend more slowly than selling prices of goods, and that means chances of in creased profit to business men," Dr. Hasek explained. Dr. Hasek explained that men with fixed salaries will lose in the - infla tion movement Creditors will lose, as well, while the debtor will gain sub stantially. The great debt burden will 'become less as prices rise, he be lieves. "In a nutshell, if there is a moder ate degree of inflation, it will be stim ulating to business in general,,but the depression has been so long, so se vere, that it maybe quite some time before inflation brings forth anything approximating prosperity." Confidence - itself, the economist be lieves, may put into circulation hoard ed money and stimulate interest in business itself. "I hate to predict," he said, "for fear of 'getting it in the neck'—but I hope we can get out of tho depression without too much in flation." COACH Submits Resignation I cd7,e7 - MEZ.
