"I think it's about five per cent, " said one UNL student. Sorry, but according to the Depart ment of Labor, the Consumer Price Index indicates that the cost of living will go up 15.6 per cent this year. "Funny," the student replied, "my economics teacher just asked me that last week." Inflation is affecting all aspects of student life at UNL. "Right in the shorts" "Inflation has hit me right in the shorts," said another student. "Even the price of underwear is way up." John Hess said the last time he went to a bar he got a smaller glass of beer at a higher price than it previously had been. "It is the typical American way to try to fool the public about inflation by raising the price one-half and lowering the quantity one-half." he said. Pam H inrichs said the increases in the prices of food are ridiculous. ' Last summer I worked in a grocery store and the prices wouldn't stay the same for one week." . Don Blair said ice cream was 69 cents a half gallon a year ago, but now is about $1.04. The price of sherbert has remained about the same, he added. Coke price up 6'lair's wife, Colleen, said, "At the, beginning of last summer, Coke was 99 , " 'centsforVn eight-padk. "Now it is price of $1.40 and that includes bottles." "I'm just not eating as much," said Laura Wieland. The cost of clothing is up too, "Last year a pair of jeans cost me $9 and this year they are up, to $13.50, Wieland said. ' Another student said she goes to the store where her mother works in order to get a 10 per cent discount. "If I can't find what I want there, only then will I go to other stores, " she said. The cost of maintaining his car has caused Bob Wilson to rely on it less than he used to. ; "The cost of the car, gas, oil and antifreeze have gone right off the roof, he said. "I guess you could say that has even cramped my lifestyle."; . Jean Manning is" doing the work on her car herself. "I can change the oil and the oil filter myself," she said. ln even learning how to tune-up the car. Saxophones up $200 According to Jacque Jansma, a member of the UNL marching band, the price of a certain brand of tenor saxo phones has gone from $800 two years ago to about $1 ,000 today. Even the saxophone reeds, which cost Jansma 30 cents in grade school are now up to 45 cents. Many students have either found jobs or are thinking about looking for one to help ease inflation. Bruce Stevens said he is. thinking ' about part-time employment just to have a little spending money r-;'' '"I Colleen; Blair said, "I'll be nfad fc the day I' can: bdfWthout "hesltattngr4 TWIN Enjoy t ihI film in an en THI AIHtS inriitinnan' romto't?
