in Dcvlne Colonial Mortuary. BERKELEY, Calif. (AP)-Taxicabs painted in psychedelic red, yellow and blue whiz through this University of California community, part of the Berkeley scene. Like many students and residents, the drivers "have long hair, consider themselves hip and are determined to preserve their freedom.

Drivers make, 80 cents an hour plus 'tips, and dispatchers get $1 an hour both substantially below competing, companies. 1 But the freedom from rules, a four-day week and self-ownership are invaluable fringe benefits, say the Taxi Unlimited drivers most of whom are 25 to 30-year-old college graduates. The fare schedule for all cabs operating in the city is set by the City Council. But Taxi Unlimited permits its drivers to pick up hitchhikers when they have no pending fares.

Recently, driver John Lewis, 26, who has a degree in English from Swarthmore College, transported 16 cats with distemper toll free to an' animal shelter. But, he said, "When they called, us to take the five surviving cats home, I cracked the whip and made them pay." Taxi Unlimited's regular clientele is mainly the elderly. Some are disabled. Drivers willingly run errands or buy groceries for mileage and time costs. "A nice Old British lady gave us a television set," Lewis said.
