Pres. Frank L. McVey Speaks
at First of 1932 Series
on "Causes of World

Depression"
FIVE

REASONS

GIVEN

Pres. Frank. L. McVey had as his
subject, "Causes of World Depression," when he addressed the members of the International Relations
club In the lecture room of McVey
hall Monday night. The meeting
was the first of the 1932 series which
will continue until the latter part
of March. Doctor McVey was presented to the assembly by Mrs. J.
B. Miner.
Doctor McVey gave five specific
reasons for the present depression.
In the first place, he named the
World War. in that it destroyed a
large amount of capital, property,
and man power, and In all countries engaged in the war it developed large producing agencies for
the manufacture of war materials
which when peace came were utilAll
ized for additional production.
over the world an immense activity
In the production of raw materials
and agricultural production far beyond the increase in populations
followed the war.
In the second place. Doctor McVey said that the breakdown In
currencies Is responsible for a part
of the world depression. There are
only five countries now maintaining the gold standard and In practically all other countries there has
been a breakdown and a necessity
for changing currency.
The building of tariffs was what
Doctor McVey named as the third
influence, adding that in practically all countries there has been the

Ten-

tative

No action was taken at the
Southern Conference meeting which

was held In New Orleans, December
other than discussions of
a "Big Ten" of the South.
Dean W. D. Funkhouser, of the
university graduate school, resigned
as secretary of the southern conference because he will be on a tour
of scientific research shortly after
the end of the first semester.
Few rulings were made at the
meeting which are important to the
University of Kentucky. The most
drastic regulation states that students will hereafter have to pass
three fourths of their work In order to be eligible to comjjete In
athletics. Kentucky has been abiding by this rule In the past, so no
change will be made in the requirements for eligibility of Kentucky
students.
Two of the other rules passed
were that broadcasting of southern
conference games will be prohibited, and that no one will be allowed
on the player's bench at conference
games except the players, coaches,
and doctors, or persons having some

connection
team. There has been much proprotest to these rulings and it is
bable that the conference will reconsider them at the next meeting,
which will be held at Atlunta during the basket bull tournament In
February.
Reasons advanced for the regulation were that the radiocasting of
games decrease the attendance and
tliat newspuper photographers had
been taking places on the player's
bench at many of the games.

Results are expected within two

Delay in sending the pictures to

Maxim
Lower Depths,"
Gorki's famous Russian tragedy,
will be presented Thursday evening,
January 14, at the Guignol theatre
by the members of the dramatic
production class under the direction
of Frank Fowler.
The play depicts the sordid existence .of a household of thieves
and drunkards of the lowest type.
Jealousies
and quarrels, tragedy
comand death, are their every-da- y
panions, and are to be expected
and borne without complaint. Although their lot Is hard, they are
reconciled to their fate and do not
expect any more from life than
they receive. A typical Russian
atmosphere is created by the one
scene, a combination living, dining,
and bed room, which remains unchanged throughout the play.
Gorki remains true to Russian
style by making his characters just
as they are in real life, and by not
giving to them the customary but
untrue beauty and virtue of the
general run of characters.
The cast will be as follows: Pepel.
