LETTERIP
Dear Editor:
me
I want to
the Daily
thank you very much for sending
Nebraskan over here in the South

Taxi!
Reports from city taxicab companies indicate that the
cab drivers are becoming rapidly exasperated with univer
sity women. Coeds will place a call for a cab with both cab
companies and then take the tirst one wmcn arrives, wun
out canceling the other one.
With the gas shortage still critical, cabs cannot make
unnecessary trips merely tor tne pleasure oi me inp. cer
tain cab drivers, who have been "stood up" at organized
houses on the campus too often, have1 even been reported
bv coeds to refuse to carry university women back to tne
campus from downtown. Cab service is almost a necessity
to university women when a train or bus must oe caugnt,
or an appointment made on time. It would be most incon
venient not to have cab service to and trom tne campus.
But clearly, normal consideration should be shown cab driv
ers and companies.
The first suggestion the cab companies make in order
to better the situation, is that university women only call
one company for a cab. If they do take another cab or find
a ride with a friend at the last minute, they should call the
company and cancel the cab. If it is not possible to cancel
the cab, a deposit should be left for the cab with the house
mother or with someone who will be there when the driver
comes. With these courtesies, reationships between uni
vrsity women and the cab companies could be greatly im
proved. U.C. Postwar Plans . . .
Postwar building of the University of California at Berkeley,
on its eight campuses, will total more than $27,500,000, according to
figures revealed by Comptroller James H. Coiley in the Nebraskan
rehabilitation program survey of various universities.
$25,500,000 of this total sum was set aside last May in a special
session of the Legislature, and is to be kept in a "special postwar
building reserve to be approprated at the time of greatest need and
co-ordinated with anticipated unemployment in the postwar period,"
according to Mr. Corley. $3,331.00 has already been appropriated by
the legislature and will be available as soon as conditions permit con
Ctruction.
In addition, the sum of $1,100.00 for the preparation of plans and
specifications for the 24 M million dollar program was appropriated
directly to the regents of the university. Already the university has
employed many architects and engineers to dvelop the plans, and
much oi the work is underway, reports the comptroller. There are
some 48 different projects to be planned for the eight campuses
f U. C .
Pacific. I had enjoyed reading them. Flease,
should like you to publish this poem that I had
written during our invasion of Leyte and Samar
in the Philippines.
"LEYTE, OUR FIRST ISLAND"
Leyte! This is our first island.
Built in memory of old victories.
Every fighting man stood his (round.
Watching each other's lives, falling, together,
And believing, in each other's care,
Peace for the world rested in our ground.
Not afraid to" die, we hugged the right holes
Until the enemy crept upon us.
Who, holding our ground for a brief moment,
Gave the whole world another hope to hold.
As long as our hearts moved, the guns leaded,
And the fighting moved through the jungles
And on to the scarred beaches, until there
Were more guns to lead.
The enemy fought to the last man on this island.
This the brave know, creeping on the earth of
home,
Not for the wound that opened and hurt.
Not for the flesh that burned, but for the hate
That blossomed in tree-tops doorways:
The bate that crept from hate to tenderness.
We hold guns straight; plunged down the hill.
We fought and won, not for our premises,
Not for victory, but for the day
That would give the future, and kill the enemy.
And toward the end: enemy Surrender!
O'Amerlca n Philippine! Until our world's is
land is won.
Until our freedom is redeemed in freedom,
Until our dead are at peace with the living,
Les Said The Better

In checking over exchanges (papers from
other schools) Saturday morning, we found
that the Minnesota Daily, the DePauw, the
Iowa State Daily Student, the Montana Kai
man and several others mention the fact
that the coeds on those campuses are smok
ing pipes in constantly increasing numbers.
A male columnist in the DePauw has this
to say:
"The continued growth of pipe popular
ity among the long-haired sex lends itself
admirably to fantasy. Without much effort
we could, for example, visualize a radio
broadcast of the future something like this.
Announcer: And now we present Mary
Adams, to bring you ladies out there timely
household hints, recipes, and pipe blends.
M. A. Good morning housewives. Pull up
a dishpan, give the baby his bottle and lis
ten to this blend sent in by Mrs. Walter
Terwillinger. Mrs. Terwillinger writes:
'Take half a cup of Bnggs, a tableron of
Sir Walter Raleigh, a pinch of Bull Durham
and a sprig of parsley for garnish. Mix the
dry ingredients in a large salad bowl. And
so on , .

Noticed the new dialogue around campus
lately. Goes something like: "Zay, bub, I'b
god a cobe in by heb. Cab seeb do dalk bery
clearlyb." Yea, all God's chilvuns got colds.
We cold tell about it, but the readers would
sulfa more than we would.
We the living will never rest, will never die
with peace.

Bachelor of Arts degree from the university in

UN Radio Department Beats First
Of Season 'Troubles,9 Gets Busy
Now that the first shows are
. history and the usual "first of the
season troubles are ender con
trol, the university's radio de
partment is really beginning to
move.
The Forum of the Air is already
making with the plans for an an
niversary broadcast on December
2. On that date, it will have been
wedded to KFAB for 52 weeks
If the celebration is as big as its
buildup, the presents should com
pletely alleviate the current paper
shortage.
Book Nook, streamlined and
glistening, is gathering a wide fan
following. One of the most pop
ular changes has been the addi
tion of a section devoted to the
latest children's books.
Book Nook Goes Up.
The Nook has come a long way
since its initial broadcast on Feb
ruary 28, 1941. It has come so
far, in fact, that few people even
recall how the whole thing came
about. Facts are that the Nook
was originated by Pat Lahr,
Union director, and Frank Egan,
former assistant in the reference
department of the university li
brary. They got the idea over a
coke.
During the first season, the
book newscast was broadcast di
rect from the Book Nook of the
Student Union. Later, mostly for
convenience, it was moved to its
present location in KFOR's main
studio.
