"Get those things from under

Get those five shirts off that one
hanger! Get your ? & Z ;

These words will thunder out of
a tough sergeant to the 300 or 400
odd aviation cadets who will be
stationed in the new library within
the near future, if 2,000 wire or
wooden hangers can't be found
and rut in the libary ready for
use by the time the cadets get
here.
In answer to the plea for 2,000
hangers of Lt. L. T. Bacon of the

Post-War Economic
Collapse Unneeded
Prof. Karl M. Arndl Wrilcs Article
For March Issue of Bi.ari Review
Economic collapse in ihe United
States folowing the war will not
be an inevitability because of the
mere existence of a large national
debt, concludes Prof. Karl M.
ArivJt, associate professor of eco
nomics, in an article in the March
issue of Bizad's Business Review.
A national debt is a flexible
thing, Arndt writes. After the war,
if the national debt is decreased,
money income may fall. If the debt
is "refinanced," then income may
remain hiqh. If debt is moved from
individuals to banks, then income
may rise.
Influences Flow of Funds.
"This national debt," says Ardt,
"can be used to stabilize or de
crease the flow of funds within
the nation and thereby to influence
the trend of production and em
ployment. It is of course an instru
ment that must be used with full
consideration of business condi
tions and governmental policies
concerning matters other than fi
nance." "Our post-war debt," he ex
plains, "may lead us to depression,
but if it does, it will be because of
what we decide to do about it, not
because of fate."
As for the size of the debt, Arndt
writes "that the ability of the
United States to shoulder and to
carry a debt large in dollar value
has often been underestimated. So
vast are the available banking re
serves of the nation ultimately
built on the gold hoard that the
banks can in fact carry the entire
existing federal debt and twice as
much in addition, and have legal
reserves to spare to support loans
to business!"
Process f Inflation.
However, one must not be led to
believe that debt is no burden, the
article emphasizes. Arndt ex
plains: "The point is that there
New ProductionWhat Every Woman Knows'
Starts Run Tonight at Eight on Temple Stage
BY JANET MASON.
A glance at yesterday's paper
revealed the information that a
play, "What Every Woman
Knows" is going to be presented
at the Temple Theater tonight.
Anxious to discover the truth,
yours truly wandered up Temple
day last night to capture a sneak
preview, and spent an evening
well-packed with entertainment.
Entering the dressing room, we
discovered none other than Betty
Heine, star of the show, carefully
applying make-up and giving last
minute touches to her dress. Ad
justing hoop skirt and artificially
grayed hair was the Comtesse de
la Briere, Jo Weaver Kline, who
we last saw as the landlady in
"Out of the Frying Pan."
A further glance around the
regular number of hangers is ob
tained, the surplus will be sent to
the Lincoln Air Base, as reports
from there indicate that these sol
diers are suffering from a simi
lar shortage. However, collapsable
hangers will not do they must be
wire or wooden.
Every house and organization
will be contacted thru its man
power commission representatives
by letter this week, and asked to
collect as many hangers as pos
sible from members, alumni, and
townspeople.

seems to be as yet no danger of
overselling the market, or of fail
ing to make the required payments
on bond3 sold; there is, however,
a real danger from another source.
The process of exchanging govern
ment securities at banks for credit
money is the essential modern
process of inflation, of raising the
cost of living, of forcing those with
fixed incomes to carry an unfair
share of the cost of the war."
In the other article in the re
view, Prof. Oscar F. Litterer, in
charge of business research at the
university, makes a report of Ne
braska business conditions. He has
found that Nebraska's business ac
tivity continues to rise and during
the month of February rose to a
point approximately 75 percent
above tae level of business activity
for the pre-war period from 1935
to 1937 inclusively.

The next trip ended at the cos

peek in from the outside. Trying
to enter the room was useless be
cause it was so full of beautiful
costumes there was no space for a

this play than they have been for
any play this year and the re

Confusion and excitement was
created on second floor as stage

"Everyone on stage, curtain go

Result of the call was a gay
first act revealing that Maggie
Wylie, the youngest member of a
Scottish family, who thought she
was cursed by the fact that she
had no charm. Her concerned
father and brothers took the situa

with John Shand, ambitious young
scholar, to finance his education,
if in five years he would agree to
marry Maggie, at her wish. After
some persuasion Mr. Shand agreed
to the proposition.

The existing regulations are in ef

council might act on them."
A statement from Miss Fedde
indicated that the faculty felt that
the recent agitation over the en
forcement of these rules was mere
ly a result of common misundr
standing between faculty members
and students, and that by such a
meeting as. the one planned for
Friday, the situation could be
cleared satisfactorily for both the
student and faculty sides.
All students who are interested
in helping revise these regulations
are urged to be present at the Fri
day meetin, according to Miss
Bennett, when any question con
cerning the rules will be discussed,
as well as any revision made
which the students as a whole con
