LITERATURE LORE
My Mother
My mother is most dear to me,
Without her I don’t know where
I’d lie;
For it is she who every day
Makes me happy in some way.
When I’m feeling cross and blue,
And with my lessons I'm not thru,
Who but that dear mother of mine,
Comforts and pleases every time.
My mother always understands
My cares and hardships new,
So I give her all the love
That I know she is due.
OUT OF GAS
We were breezing along in our
new Pontiac, with yellow pools of
sunlight bathing the dusty road be
fore us. Spring was apparently just
around the corner. A little bird,
merely a sparrow, sat on an old
stump chirping its glad song to us.
Everything seemed quite cheerful
indeed.
Everyone was chatting noisily',
when all of a sudden the car gave a
lurch and came to a dead standstill.
The noise ceased, and did we stare!
The driver couldn’t imagine what
the trouble was. Of course he
wouldn’t with a new Pontiac. Some
one suggested that we all get out
and examine the auto. We did.
The first thing wc did was to look
blank, then all together—
“We’re out of gas!’’

AS OTHRS SEE IT
Conducted by Mr. Gaitha Pegg, 1942
Vine Street, Lincoln
Dear Sir:
On the first floor of Besscy Hall,
on the university campus, is a plac
ard advertising meals at the Temple
Cafeteri This placard has on it a
black laced waiter carrying a tray.
I am calling attention to this be
cause it seems strange to me that the
Temple Cafeteria uses a black face
in its advertisements but does not'
deem it necessary to have one in its
employ. I don’t think any Negro
would object to the caricature if he
were on the job, but as it is, it looks
like gioss misrepresentation of the
lacts to me; since no Negro is work
ing there nor has worked there, un
less in medieval times.
But is the cafeteria the only de
partment of the university which
does not hire colored help? I don’t
think so. There may be some Ne
groes on the university payroll but
1 have never seen them. What is the
matter with the Negro taxpayers of
Nebraska? 1 read a letter in the
last printing of your column, Mr.
Pegg, in w'hieh something was said
about a Negro voting league which
once existed. It seems to me that if
ever such an organization was need
ed, it is now.
Maybe Rep. Owens could help the
state employment situation a little.
A. STUDENT
RICHMOND TURNS
OVER NEW LEAF
It is said that the word “nigger”
was temporarily dropped; chairs
provided for Negro women as well
as white women in the court room;
the word “Mr.’*• was used in addres
sing colored witnesses; and the court
was forced to accept the bond of a
colored man for a white man last
week in Richmond, Virginia.
This was all for the first time in
history of the Riehinond courts,
when Abe Thompson, white, organ
izer of that branch of the Unem
ployed Council was tried on a charge
of “vagrancy” for leading a hun
ger march of white and Neirro.
