Victory Books . "With only 1,000 books collected from uni versity students nnrt faculty members in the first Victory Hook campaign, the Student De fense committee has announced that it is start ing another all-out drive for books of all kinds to be sent to the various army camps over the nation by the USO. A contribution of 1,000 books for approxi mately 6,000 students and faculty members is a very poor showing. The defense cotnmitfee has set a goal of 10.000 books for its new drive which will be directed more toward resident Students of the university. The men in our armed forces want to read fiction, fact, anything. Even with their big training program each day, the average sol dier, sailor, and marine has time or would take the time to settle down with a good book. Do your part . . . give as many good books as you can when the defense committee comes around to ''keep 'em reading." Dear Editor: It was quite interesting during the past week to note in the Daily Nebraska that about half of the students in the United States favor allowing our soldiers to drink alcoholic liquors away from camp; naturally, these students wish that the enlisted men be given as much freedom as possible on days away from their strenuous military training. However, is not such a poll somewhat be side the point! The real question seems to be this: "Will the permission for our armed forces to indulge in alcoholic liquors when away from camp jeopardize our chances of winning the war? Thus will such permission be apt to get them into brawls or accident, with consequent temporary or even permanent incapacitation? Will it increase the incidences of venereal diseases, thus again interfering with military training? Will it lower resist ance to disease and hamper military exercises on the following day? Will it enable the en emy to gain desired information concerning our preparation more readily? Will it help professional gamblers in robbing our soldiers of their money?" from what happened in the Malayan cam paign, which terminated in the capture of Singapore, it would seem that the Japanese soldiers are men of courage, of stamina and with a will to conquer. Hitler's soldiers appar ently also have been trained to stand hard life. If we are to defeat such enemies, can we af ford to allow anything to interfere with this aim? Would it not be wiser to study what our large accumulation of knowledge about the effects of alcohol tells? This knowledge ndicates that even very moderate doses will lecrease the efficiency of our fighting men in the army, on and under the seas, and in the air. There are men who know about such ef- e-cts and they should be consulted. Also, our lighest military authorities should decide what is best for our soldiers if they are to prepare them to defeat enemies who wish to dominate the world. Our foes have trained their men with that aim in mind! Sincerely yours, Harold G. 0. Hoick, Associate Professor flf Pharmacology. Love Dorm Continued from Page 1. others who have given gifts that are seen and used daily by the girls. Reminders of Mr. Love and his family are books from his library, a picture of Mrs. Love and her sister, Mrs. Anna Larra bes of Clermont, la., and all pic tures that hang on the west wall . of the room. Tassels, the Coed Counselor board, Mortar Board active chap ter, and Kappa Alpha Theta each bought the furnishings for a bed room. The Associate Women's Students gave the furniture for a dining room. The ping-pong table and draperies were given by the Women's Athletic Associa tion and Dr. Harold Foster, now cf Long Island, New York, gave the piano for the much-used recreation room. The National Administration made a major contribution, too. NYA students braided 27 rugs for the bedrooms, maae closet curtains, table run ners, mats and napkins, designed and made the kitchen cupboards, cabinet, towel racks, shoe racks, the gas dryer, and bulletin boards, and refinisiied furniture from the Love home. War Lecture Ties Treaty With Crisis Prof. Harold C. Vedeler of the history department will discuss "The Treaty of Versailles and World War II" Monday afternoon on the university's current lecture series on America and the war.
