The Month Is April
The month is April.
People used to say that April showers
bring May flowers.
Now they don't know what April with
r without showers will bring. Here is a
ehronology for the month that might lead
Daily Nebraskan readers to some consider
ation of the potentialities of April.
Great things may happen this month of
3 94-1. Here is what has happened in April in
past years:
April 1, 1939 End of the Spanish Civil
.war.
April 6, 1917 U. S. declaration of war
in Germany.
April 6, 1939 Chamberlain announces
Polish-British mutual aid pact.
April 6, 1941 Germany invades Yugo
slavia and Greece.
April 7, 1939 Italy invades Albania.
April 9, 1940 Norway and Denmark
invaded.
April 9, 1941 U. S.-Danish agreement
giving us right to establish air and naval
bases in Greenland.
April 9, 1942 Bataan falls to Japanese.
April 11, 1941 Office of Price Admin
istration established.
April 14 Pan-American day.
April 18, 1775 Paul Revere 's ride.
April 18, 1942 American planes bomb
Tokyo.
April 18, 1942 War Manpower Com
mission created.
April 24, 1800 Library of Congress

Mail
Clippings
Pat Chamberlin, Censor
One month ago V-mail ran a letter from
Lt. 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.

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.
Very sincerely yours,
