Growls From the
Doghouse
By UEOIIUK OKAY
Yes the Impossible has happen-
ed!!! Once again the Collegian
goes to press though this time
we have a new business manager
Ruth Thomason. And I mean we
are happy to be back In the groove
again.
Many things hnve happened
since our last edition; Japan at-
tacked Pearl Harbor and Uncle
Samuel dvclurcd total war on our
little dirty squlnch-eyed neigh-
bors. Also wo are now ut war with
Germany and Italy.
Here in linker there have been
several dances parties and last
but not least ball guinea. As we
mentioned in our lust edition it
looks like we might have Just what
it takes in basketball. Our team
has moved through the season with
only two non-conference defeats
and two conference losses. Also
since we last went to press we
huve hud mid-term exums. Due to
the war we lost sovcrul students
who may be gone but certainly not
forgotten and gained several new
ones whom we ull hope we may
know better.
The attitude of the old doghouse
bus changed from the slowly pass-
ing paperless days and weeks to
the old uttitude of hustle aud bus-
tle thut it wuh famous for when
we formerly put out a paper.
Much of the bull that was spread
about the office during the long
cold days of December and Jan-
uary when many of the students
cluttered up the two-by-four build-
ing to keep wurm and talk about
everyone but themselves has been
swept under the tublcs with the
bodies of two weuk ones who
couldn't stand the staff and the
floor has again become covered
to the knees with wuste paper.
The light thut has not burned ev-
ery night for so long is agalu
pouring out the kilowatts through
the hours fur Into the night every
night. Aud as the story spreads
the unlucky students (they don't
realize it) happily prepare for the
Saturday edition of the paper.
If any of you students have any
waste paper you can turn it iu
to the Colleglun or leave your
names and addresses over here
and we will come get It and see
that it goes where It should to
help national defense.
Also If you should have uny
news dirt or Ideas that would help
the stuff to give you a better paper
turn them in they aro always ap-
preciated. It Happened

Hitler and the Devil
Hitler called the Devil up on the telephone one clay
The gill at central listened to all they had to say
"Hello" she heaid Hitler say
"Is old Satan home?
Just tell him it's the dictator who wants him on the phone."
The Devil said "Howdy" and Hitler said "Howarc you?"'
"I'm running a hell on earth so tell me what to do."
"What tan 1 do?" the Devil said "Dear old pal of mine
It seems you don't need any help you're doing mighty fine."
"Yes I was doing vciy good until awhile ago
When a man named Roosevelt wired me to go more slow.
He said to me "Dear Hitler we don't waul to be unkind
But you've raised hell enough so you'd better change your mind."
I thought his lease-lend bill was a bluff and he could never get it
tluough
Hut soon he put me on the spot when he showed me what he could
do.
Now that's why I called you Satan I need advice from you
For I know you will tell me just what I ought to do."
"My dear Hitler theie is not muih left to tell
For Uncle Sam will make it hotter than I can hcic in Hell
I have been a mean old Devil but not half as mean as you
So the minute you get here the job is yours to do.
I'll be ready for your (oming and I'll keep the files all bright
Aud I'll have your loom all ready when Sam begins to fight
For 1 can see your das aie uumbeied aud there's nothing left to
tell
So hang up the phone get jour hat and meet me here in Hell!"

om
A He lew by Katherlne Kiddle
If you haven't read "The Keys
to tho Kingdom" the ycur's best
seller plan to do so ut once. It
Is tho story of the life of a Cath-
olic Priest. He was so entirely hu-
man that he shocked many of his
fellows with his nudlclty.
Tho story opens with Francis
as a young boy. At an early age
his father and mother were
drowned. Aunt Polly took the
young boy and reared him.
Francis fell In love with his
hulf-cousln Nora. When she step-
ped In front of a train and was
killed the young man decided then
to become a priest. After being or-
daiucd he accepted a small parish
near his old home. The elderly
priest had a spat with Francis
because he hud organized weekly
dances. After making tho old priest
look fooliBh In front of his people
he was asked to transfer.
The Bishop sent Frauds to
China to start a mission. There he
lived for 35 years. He established
a large mission school and nuns-
homo while there. Tho Chlneso
learned to love him dearly. -Though
he never gained a large following
und was not considered a great
success he was so deeply loved
that his people would have died
for him.
Futher Francis lived through
paulc famine flood plague and
war. Through It all he remulucd
calm and cheerful and a source
of great courage to his followers.
When old and broken In health
the priest was called back to Eng-
land and two young priests were
sent to tako his place. Francis had
hoped to dlo In his beloved China
but ho submitted quietly and re-
turned to his native England.
There he took a small parish and
devoted the rest of his days to
raising Nora's grandchild who was
now an orphan. Francis consider-
ed his life a failure but to others
he wus a grand success uud a real
human with all the faults and
traits of any man in life today.
