Student Party.
The platform of the Student
Party as summarized by Bill
Miller, president, is as follows
"The Student Party's purpose is,
as always, to provide a means
whereby individual students, both
unaffiliated and affiliated, ag and
city, veteran and non-veteran, can
nominate, support and elect candi
dates of their own choice with
out the domination or dictation of
any faction or bloc.
Open Meeting.
"Our candidates are nominated
in an open meeting of all party
members, with every party mem
ber having the right to nominate
and vote for the candidate of rus
choice. The system was found to
be the most democratic and the
most practical in last year's
spring election, and led to a vic
tory for our party in 13 of the
14 elective positions."
Union Independents.
The newly organized Union In
dependent Party plans to repre
sent all students attending the
university who wish to help pro
mote the welfare of the activities
of the university by supporting
qualified candidates for offices,
according to Don Chapin, officer
of the new party.
Nominations will be made at an
open caucas of all members, who
will nominate and support quali
fied members of their organiza
tion. U. S.-Russian
Relationship
Discussed
"The ability of Russia and the
United States to allay their mu
tual suspicions and fears will
largely determine our world
peace," Dr. Maxim K. Elias, uni
versity paleontologist, stated last
night when he addressed the
fourth of a series of lecture meet
ings on world affairs held at Love
Memorial library and sponsored
by the university extension di
vision. Dr. Elias declared that "there
are no reasons why there should
be serious disturbances to world
peace if we do not pay too high a
price in the appeasement of sus
picion between these two domin
ant nations, and if America and
Russia, which are and probably
always will remain politically
different, can continue to be co
operative neighbors and friends in
peace as in war."

BY DEDE MEYER.
"Twelfth Night," Shakespearean comedy in three acts,
opens a three-day run tonight at 8 in Temple theater as the
University Theater's third major production of the year.
"Twelfth Night" is the story of a lovely maiden named
Viola and her twin brother, Sebastian, each of whom be
lieves that the other was drowned when they were ship
wrecked. Viola, disguising herself as a man, enters the serv
ice of the Duke Orsino, who is wooing the beautiful but dis
daining Countess Olivia. Viola secretly loves the Duke, buC
aids him in his courtship for Olivia. The countess, mean
while, falls in love with Viola, thinking her a man. Affairs
are made more complicated by the arrival of Sebastian, who
looks exactly like his disguised sjster. As might be ex
pected, everything is at last brought to a happy ending.
"Twelfth Night" becomes more amusing at the appear
ances of such incidental characters as the drunken Sir Toby
Belch, his weak-witted friend, Sir Andrew Aguecheek, and
the vixenish Maria, maid to Olivia. This play has been right
fully called Shakespeare's greatest romantic comedy.
Many people, upon seeing a stage performance, accept
it at its face value, but fail to realize the immense amount
of work involved in its production. From the very first day
of try-outs, held in January, everyone connected with
"Twelfth Night" has worked, and worked hard. Shaken
