Robert Moose's comanding officer telling of "Old Mooser's" glorious achievements on the Pacific front and of his winning the cov eted air medal. One month later V-mail re ceives word from his parents in Omaha that Lt. Robert Mooser has "been killed in action in an airplane accident somewhere in the south Pacific area." Bob made as memorable record in the uni versity as in the Fifth Air Force. Interested in activities, Bob was football manager of the varstiy team, and also won a Phi Beta Kappa key. .And tales of Mooser's doings still echo around the Phi Kappa Psi bull sessions. Last month, Lt. James F. Jennings, an army transport pilot, wrote a poem about the army's combat pilots and dedicated it to Lieu tenant Moose "as typical of the army's flying lieutenants." Lieutenant Jennings write to Mr. and Mrs. Moose in Omaha of the "Mooser:" "No one ever lived who knew the equal of his courage . . . through his oxygen mask he is confidently smiling and may the mighty song of his engine never falter." Two lines of this poem seem fitting here: "He'll win our freedom, without claim, And stand immortal in the Hall of Fame." RICHARD B. CASE has been commis sioned a second lieutenant at Yale university. Lieutenant Case took electrical engineering at UN for a year and a half. He has just re ported for his new assignment at the army air base depot. Spokane, Wash. HOWARD J. HUNTER, stationed at Camp Robinson, Ark., has been advanced to the rank of a major. He is a graduate of the law department at UN, and a member of Acacia. Major Hunter was inducted into the army in 1042 and sent to Fort Benning, da., for training. DO YOU DIG IT f fc6itt4 ky David P.

Dear Editor: Sometime last year I noticed in one of the literary maga zines a small advertisement by the University of Nebraska Press. I had not been aware before this time that Nebraska had a formally organized and functioning press; however, upon inquiry I found that there is now quite a vigorous one. I have since seen some of its productions, and more recently have read an article on the subject of university presses by the editor, Miss Schossberger, in the current Prairie Schooner. We who see it from a distance are perhaps better able to judge the importance of such an enterprise than those dose by.' Publications which come to us as being from the University of Nebraska Press give us the assurance that the most lasting, most vital job of the university is not being neglected, but on the contrary is being encouraged to the extent that scholarship and creative thought can receive the permanent form of books through the agency of the university itself. That is a very fine thing. It is the sort of activity which places Nebraska in the vanguard of learning, for there are not yet so very many uni versities which support active, aggressive publishing programs. As Clarence Day has said, "Any great university might well be proud to go into publishing. Indeed it is more appropriate for universities to do it than business men." I have no doubt that many other alumni feel as T do, and hope that the university authorities, both faculty and regents, together with the legislature, will continue to assure for the Press both wise direction and generous assistance. Even yet I marvel at the courage and faith shown in mak ing such a venture in these troubled times. A young enterprise which can keep alive and send out its roots now is practically certain of a great future. Nebraskans everywhere will take pride and pleasure in watching it grow.
