FLASH, FLASH! Good morning
Mr. and Mrs. Genola. Let’s go to
press (and I do mean squeeze),
your correspondent was recently
threatened with a missle in child
ish scrawl. At first it was thought
to be a sugar report until the
anomymous postal exploded in
my face. Being two-faced, I quick
ly repaired the damage and turned
the letter over to J. Edgar Mar
shall of the local F. B. I, (Freds
Best Informer). The G-Man
(Genola Man) has already laid
plans for ensnaring the guilty
parties.
Marshall, the daringest, detective
that drew a dagger on a danger
ous dandy doing dirty deeds, has
just pointed a finger, the first one
on his right hand, at the HOOT’IN
HOLLOW DEMOCRAT. This lea
gue of arch class cutters are want
ed for duck (cigarette) snatching;
kissing defenseless women wras
slers; assorted alley batting and
dispensing phone calls on Sunday
to minors without a license.
At present, yours truly, is in
need of body guards, preferably
brunettes with grey-green eyes.
Please wear your best skirt and
sweaters to apply for this position.
Boys need not apply—or POLAND
either.
All Fools Day has never before assumed such a sig
nificance as it will on April 1, 1940. Then the full ap
propriatness of the title given to that day should strike us
like a blow and cause us to sit up, scratch our heads and
ponder as to just whether or not we are all fools.
If a person considers the world as being slightly n y
wire and abounding in demented mortals, then he him
self is probably the one with more than his share of loose
connections. By the same token, the person with the
audacity to declare, proclaim and shout from the house
tops that every man, woman, and child m the universe is
a plain fool first, last, and always, is undoubtedly k ng oi
the fools himself or else holds a very lofty position in the
court of fools. ... ,
But would we be first in ridiculing such a peison
crazy or not, thousands would rally round his flag, be
come his diciples, and be ever alert to cock ears when he
mounted his housetop or soapbox. That us all over. And
vet we consider ourselves as being intelligent, cleai
headed, and easily able to resist undue persuasion from
any source.

Should the rats in the boys’ dormitory be tolerated
or annihilated? This is a question which should be ac_
corded careful, thoughtful consideration by every per
son concerned. And a question of as prime importance as
this should be the concern of every person who is inter
ested in the health of his fellow classmates and their liv
ing conditions.
First, consider the item of living conditions. Rats
are very fond of clothes—especially shirts which haven’t
any holes in them. They eat large holes in the boys’
shirts and handkerchiefs and have been known to eat a
chunk out of a coat for good measure.
Then there is to be considered, another important
fact—that of health. It is not an item of hearsay—but
a recognized fact—that rats harbor on their persons the
rat flea, which transmits the disease known as typhus
fever. When a person becomes ill with typhus fever, one
is reminded at once of the filthy, sordid little animal so
intimately associated with vermin—the rat. Disgrace is
heaped upon the innocent person who has contracted this
disease through no fault of his own. There is no excuse
for allowing this potential destroyer of health to remain
on the campus of West Georga College.
The fact that there are rats on our campus is no in
dictment to the administration or students individually.
Attempts have been made to exterminate them in the
past but thus far all attempts have been futile. The er
adication of the student’s common enemy must come
through the intelligent cooperation of the students by
keeping their rooms clean and placing food out of reach.
Let us not place the blame on any one individual or any
group, but if all will join in the battle rats will have a
hard time living on the campus.—P. H.
