Student Party's purpose is, as al

by individual students, both un

of the university by supporting
qualified candidates for offices,
according to Don Chapin, officer
of the new party.
America's basic economy will
not be seriously disturbed by the
inflation which has come as an
inevitable consequence of paying
for the war, declared Prof. Karl
M. Arndt, university economist, in
his address to the Rotary club
of Holdrege Thursday night.
"Over 98 billion in currency has
been forced into circulation since
Pearl Harbor. This huge sum rep
resents an inflationary bulge
which our nation is now struggling
to assimilate," Prof. Arndt said.
"The question is not when is in
flation coming or how can we
hold the line against it. It's here.
We should worry much more about
who is going to pay the bill."
Taxation
Some of the billions spent by
the government to stimulate war
goods production was paid by bond
purchases and taxation, according
to Prof. Arndt. He also said that
new money, amounting to billions,
has not been absorbed by Ameri
can economy and represents the
"hidden cost" of war.
He suggested three ways which
will help absorb this new war
born money: Increase in prices,
increase in production of goods,
and outright cancellation of some
of the currency in circulation or
exchanging it for bonds.
"Price rises and wage increases
can and should be expected since

Students List Qualifications
For Prospective Chancellor
The majority of 15 students
polled by the Daily Nebraskan
Thursday, expressed indefinite
ideas concerning the choice of a
new chancellor but several told
of the qualifications they felt a
man for the position should have.
"The new chancellor shouldn't
be chosen from the University of
Nebraska. He should come from
a progressive school arid his rec
ord should show his consideration
for student viewpoint," Sally
Yoder, a senior in teachers col
lege expressed in regard to quali
fications of a new chancellor.

Lee Hering, ROTC from Che

chancellor should be a man who
has been connected with univer

one already connected with the
University of Nebraska in that he

"From what I read in the book

Qualifications.
Other students stated that they
did not feel qualified to make
suggestions for a chancellor or
for his qualifications. Several
stated that it would require some
study to enable an ordinary stu
dent to make an intelligent choice
of a man for chancellor.

BY ELLIE SWANSON.
Rex Coslor has done it again! After stealing most of
"Juno and the Paycock," the master of the dialects has come
through with a second triumph.
Thursday night's Temple performance of "Twelfth
Night," the Shakespearean comedy which was revamped by
Dallas Williams, University Theater director, into 17 scenes,
was brought above the level of ordinary college thespic en
deavors by the brilliant performance of Coslor as Sir Toby
Belch, the inveterate inebriate, Arlis Swanson as the Count
ess Olivia, and Gay Marr's Festus, the Jester.
In a beautifully costumed and well directed show, Cos
lor's tippler, Swanson's calm countess and Marr's pseudo
comic philosophy brought continual comment and laughter
from the well-filled auditorium.
The prologue brought Bill Swanson's excellent portrayal
Red Cross
Drive Ends
Tomorrow
With the Red Cross drive end
ing tomorrow, solicitors have col
lected $1,543 of the $2,500 goal,
Jan Engle, AUF director, stated
today.
The booth in the Union will be
open today and tomorrow morn
ing to receive donations from Lin
coln unaffiliated students and
others who wish to contribute,
stated Miss Engle. Representatives
in organized houses on the campus
must turn in their money by noon
tomorrow, she added.
In the drive last year, students
contributed far more than the
$2,500 goal, but even with the
added enrollment this semester,
workers have not been able to
collect the stated amount.
Funds Aid World.
Funds collected during this nation-wide
drive will be used to
aid the people of the world. This
has always been the purpose of
the Red Cross.
In times of storms, floods, fires
and other disaster, Red Cross
workers are first on the scene to
aid with food, clothing and medi
cal supplies. In the war-devastated
countries of the world, ci
vilian relief will be administered
by the Red Cross as soon as mili
tary authority is removed.

ize the university, agreed Pris'
cilla Fowler and Patt Dudgeon.
Miss Dudgeon added that in ad
dition Eisenhower "would bring
new ideas from another college
and would certainly know some
thing of political men."
Satisfactory Chancellor.
A student, who asked that her
name not be used, said that a
satisfactory chancellor should
have many general qualifications.
Specifically she added he should
be "definitely interested in stu
dent welfare and be accessible to
students."
"Eisenhower would be good be
cause he would bring new ideas
from out of state and keep the
university from getting into a
rut," is the opinion of Bill Led

Memphis, Tenn.
oi bhakespeare, with Lawrence
Gilling backing him up as Bur
bage. As always, Avi um Bondarin
turned in a near perfect perform
ance as the narrator.
D. Ann Richardson and Van
Westover as the twins, Viola and
Sebastian, held up their end of
the performance very creditably.
Richardson, a freshman, turned in
a fine portrayal.
Though much of the Eliza
bethean dialogue was spoken a
bit too rapidly to be readily com
prehended, the general effect was
much above the average level of
classical performance. In a well
balanced cast there were a few
standouts, but the general effect
was very good, indeed, and little,
if any criticism could be spoken.
Barbara Berggren's portrayal
of Maria showed the wide stage
experience which gave her the
necessary background, and Dean
Wells and Dean Graunke as Val
entine and Malvolio added much
to the high standard of the per
formance. Dede Meyer's Sir Andrew
Aguecheeck was easily the most
hilarious comedy bit seen on the
Temple stage in many a sho'w.
Also included in the cast were
Louis Meyer, John Hanly, David
Andrews, Louis Meyer, Howard
Oliver, Herbert Spense, Bill Fein,
Fred Lorenz and Allan Ray.
