Faculty Will Lose Doubly
With Inflation, Hasek Says
• "If prices go. up, with salaries re=

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

together. 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."

ATE CARTMELL RESIGNS
Track Mentor Announces Decision
Following Notification of Release
Student Leaders
Oppose 'Dropping'
Of Nate Cartmell
Student sentiment regarding the
resignation of Coach Nate Cartmell
yesterday bitterly opposed the pos
sibility of his leaving Penn State.
Statements from campus leaders fol
low:
"I feel that Nate is one of the best
coaches we have here. • Everything
possible should be done to keep•him
at Penn State. Students certainly
should have had the chance to ex
press some opinion on. the matter;
he shouldn't be just dropped as some
others have undoubtedly been in the
past."'.—Thomas J. Harper '34, presi
dent of the Athletic Association.
"After a very careful study of the
personnel of the PhySical Education
School,
,the Personnel Committee of
the Board of Control has seen fit to
recommend to the Athletic Board that
Professor Cartmell's resignation be
accepted. The Athletic Board has ac
cepted the report and the matter is
now before the Trustees of the Col
lege. I wish to emphasize that the
action was' the result of a thorough
deliberation by members of the ad
ministration, alunini, and students."—
John A. Wood '33, class president.
"We have so few men that are
known college-wide, that if we keep
losing them, the reputation of Penn
State in intercollegiate athletics is
sure to suffer greatly. Nate is the
man for the job here; we can use
more like him."—Walter C. Moser '33,
ex-president of the Athletic Associa.
tion.
."We.must do everything-possible , to.
keep Nate Cartmeli . 'at Penn. State.
He's one of the 'traditions here, as
well as being one of the foremost men
in his field in the country. He's a
friend of every student as well as
every athlete."—Thomas A. Slusser
'34, football captain.'
"I would certainly hate to see Nate
Cartmell stop coaching the track
team. He is one of the best known
and most capable of the nation's
coaches. It would be impossible to
replace him, both as a 'coach and as a
friend 'of athletics at Penn State."—
Wayland F. Dunaway '33, captain of
the track team, ex-secretary of the
Athletic Association.
"I feel that Penn State is losing
one of • its greatest coaches, and hope
that everything possible will be done
to keep him . here."—William G. Van
Keuren '34, member of the track team
and secretary of the Athletic Associ
ation.
_"l'd certainly like to see Nate re
main here. Every effort should be
made for him to keep his present af
filiation with Penn State athletics."—
Charles R. King '34, captain of the
cross country team.
"Nate's character is such that he
boosts the morale of the teams. I'm
sure that without him the chances of
our having a successful cross country
season next year are practically
nothing."—Robert C. Hanawalt, man
ager of the cross country team.

Gives Unpleasant Relations With School of
Physical Education Heads as Reason
For Move—Students Surprised
Penn State sports followers were stunned early Stinday morn
ing when it became known that Nate J. Cartmell had sent his
resignation as Lion track and cross country coach to the President
of the College following notification that the Personnel Committer:
of the Board of Athletic Control had decided not to recommend
the renewal of his contract for 1933-34.
The step taken by the College athletic officials was entirely
unexpected by students and was met by a barrage of bitter under
graduate protests. Petitions to the Board of Trustees asking that
the resignation be rejected were
circulated among students a few
hours after the news reached
State College. One of the peti
tions was being signed solely by
members of the varsity track
and cross country teams.

Dr. Hughes' first visit to Penn State.
"Our mother serves as a connecting

one facing the nation today, that men
and women can really appreciate the

Bezdek l'resents Views
The statement which Director Hugo
Bezdek, of the School of Physical
Education and Athletics, issued yes
terday is as follows:
"In developing the new intramural
and physical education program every
member of our staff has assumed and
performed new and additional duties
since the initiation of this program,
except Professor Cartmell. The im
possible was not asked of any coach
at any time, but rather ive desired to
spread of the coaches' particular
training and experience so that not
only the varsity squads would be ben
efitted from thew contacts, but also
the general student body as well.
' "Professor Cartmell held to his own
.ideaS - as 'to What his partiCipation
should be like, and has found it im
possible to cooperate with the program
fixed by. the policy of the School of
Physical Education and Athletics, and
approved by the Board of Athletic
Control and the Board of Truitees of
the College.
"In view of these facts, the Person
nel Committee of the Board of Ath
letic Control, and I concluded not
. to
recommend Professor Cartmell for re•
appointment.
Calls Conditions Unpleasant
"At the request of Professor Cart
mell, the President of the College
agreed that no publicity would be
given this action. However, I receiv
ed permission from the President to
canvass the field for a successor to
Professor Cartmell. with the condi
tion that all negotiations be kept
strictly confidential. This stipulation
has been written into every such com
munication, thus living up to the let
ter and spirit of the agreement. No
publicity whatsoever has been given
this matter until Professor CartmelPs
recent press article."
According to Cartmell, the decision
to terminate his contract was made
following a break with Director Bee
del:. Cartmell said that conditions
witli officials of the School of Phy
sical Education and Athletics were so
unpleasant that he was compelled to
submit his resignation to the Board
of Trustees. If the Board rejects,his,
resignation they must give thorough
consideration to the circumstances
leading to the resignation, lie said.
Cartmell Airs ControVersy
Although the agreement between the
Collage administration and Coach
Cartmell had been to keep both the
action of the Personnel Committee and
the consequent "resignation" secret
until after July I, Cartmell released
the news to members of the Lion
varsity teams and to newspapermen
at the Pitt stadium Saturday after
noon. He said that the confidence
agreement had been violated by Di
rector Bezdek. '
