Dr. J * Almus Russell
Publishes Article in
New England Ma gazine
An article, "Cordwood for Locomotives," by J. Almus Russell, of the
College English Department, was published in the overdue January, 1949,
issue of "Old Time New England," a
quarterly magazine specializing in
ancient buildings , household furnishings, domestic arts, manners and customs, and minor antiquities of the
New England people.
This publication is one of a series
of "Forgotten H o m e Industries,"
which deals with early New England
customs and crafts as Dr. Russell
knew them in his youth, or heard of
them from elderly friends and relatives.
About 1850, the author writes,
many farmers discovered a profitable
home industry .— supplying cordwood
for wood-burning locomotives. Providing such wood for the new railway
engines rapidly became an important
business, with men, oxen, and horses
hired all year round to cut and haul
fuel, for a period of twenty-five years,
until coal finally took the place of
wood, and consequently did away
with the industry.

For a long time now the extreme radicals of Realism have been
propagating their principles in a forceful effort to demolish the powers
of Idealism. As civilization becomes more complex , this struggle will
become more serious.
Idealism is the basis of all creative thoug ht; it is the root of all
genius and inventiveness. When man- has discovered every contrivable thing and when he has exposed every thing that is discoverable ,
then and only then , has Idealism reached its consummation.
Has this acme been attained? Is man 's store of inventiveness spent?
Or are there yet within him untouched hoards of genius waiting to be
revealed? (mm )

FASHION FLASHES
Just Jovin g . . . ?
This year approximatel y 315,000 students will graduate from the
colleges and universities throug hout the United States. Upon graduation , the prime objective of most of this vast number of students will
be to secure employment in those fields and pro fessions for which
they have been educated and trained , and which seem to offer the
best opportunities for advancement.
Just what are their chances for obtaining these positions they
so earnestly desire? A few years back , this could emphatically answered in the affirmative. At that time , a college degree was regarded
as , "The golden key that would open all doors of opportunity . " Today, this situation has undergone vast changes , The number or people
holding college degrees has increased tremendously, and it is not
inconceivable that within the not-too-distant future a college degree
will be the minimum requirement for most positions.
Competition will be keen in all fields and occupations in the next
few years. The teaching profession is at the present time slowly beginning to realize a period of adequacy in personnel in many areas,
Thu s, it is hi g hl y important that each student absorb as much information and material relating to his particular field as possible.
It will pr obably be only after graduation that each student will
come to realize the appropriateness of the following statement: "Th e

Husky Diamondmen Strive To Equal Gridders' Perfect Record
SIDELINES I
IN SPORTS . . .
by Wayne Von Stetten
Nine in the bag and three to go.
That's the impressive record the boys
of Coach Bob Redman have compiled
at this writing. Notwithstanding any
unforseen events, our Husky Nine
should nail that remaining trio of
contests. We are well aware of the
fact that all the breaks must fall one
hundred per cent in order to complete
a perfect season, and thus far they
have come in the direction of our
di amond men. The weather has been
nigh perfect for early spring baseb all , inj uries have been negligible ,
the hitting has been extremely timely,
and a constant sore spot in previous
years—fielding, has been consistent.
The wonderful success of our team
thus far has caused many of us to
scurry to the books to delve Into their
contents in order to discover when
we have had an undefeated nine on
the hill. If our eyesight was correct,
we found that the great team molded
by the genial "Doc " Nelson in 1935,
and led by the Litwhiler boys Danny
and Woody, went through a twelvegame , schedule , without , bungling.
Let's match it anyway.
One of the highspots of the ball
club has been the terrific amount of
long-ball clubbing the boys have been
demonstrating. They can claim no
less than six men who have belted
the apple out of the park thus far.
Paul Slobozien, Johnnie Czemiakowski , Greek Lambrinos, Mike Evans,
Buck Byham, and Don But ler have
all crashed one or more four-masters.
In a dditi on , the team has had its
share of two-baggers, and the prettiest of all hits—the triple.
The remaining three contests on
the schedule are carded for airy
Mount Olympus. You fans who as
yet haven't- seen the boys in action
should make a concerted effort to do
so. It is our hope, however, that the
opposition will be a bit stronger than
that furnished the Huskies in their
other two previous home encounters.
We took in that contest with the
Second Army last week and were
thoroughly bored with the whole affair. It was a little too one-sided to
prove entertaining for the average
baseball fan. And then too, those
twelve boots committed by the "doggies" didn 't add to the Interest of the
game. Far be it from us to detract
from the brilliant victories turned in
by our boys, but we would like to see
less sloppy baseball than that displayed last Friday.

The Second Army baseball squad
bowed to the Huskies on May 6 to
th e t u ne of a 14 t o 1 scor e as the
home team slugged three homers and
Mike Evans allowed only five hits
and gave only one free ticket.
Butler led off in the first inning
with a circuit clout that set the pace
that was continued by Slobozien and
Czerniakowski as they each polled
four-baggers.
Ev a ns ' brilliant pitching pulled the
Huskies out of the fire in the second
frame when he se.t three doughboys
down with the bases loaded. Evans
lost a shutout in the ninth when he
gave up a single and a double which
gave the soldiers their only run. The
Fort Meade squad collected j ust five
hits, three in the second inning and
two in the ninth.

They Call Me the Dreamer . . .
Here is an intimate peek into the inner sanctum of the kennel wher? a
kettle of strange thoughts has been boiling all year. Into the kettle was
thrown a deficiency slip with the number "13" written on the back , also a
business office memorandum concerning payment of activity fees, a shirgle
from the roof of Scienee- Hall , the bladder of an old volley ball , a salmon
croquette from the dining hall , three cigaret butts swept up during a full
moon , a spade flush from a pinochle deck , and the neck from a broken
Budweiser bottle. This was brought to a slow boil while the constitution of
the C.G.A. was recited backwards with care not to establish any dangerous
precedents. Out of the vapor came the following visions : A new, larger
college canteen with fountain service—Scholarships for the Dionne quintuplets so that we might have five identical May Queens in 1956—A cow tethered to one of the legs of each dining hall table, with all optional accessories
included so that a flagon of cold , homogenized , grnde A, pasteurized milk
could be drawn with little or no effort—Cigaret vending machines that would
issue free weeds plus a movie ticket—A corps of Stale employees to do term
papers and book reports—Assembly entertainment direct from Broadway,
with definite partiality shown the Maids from Minsky 's—A minimum quality
point average of .0001.

This is Where I Came In . . .
And so concludes the 25th and final edition of the Doghouse. As was
previously noted , what it has all amounted to is hard to say. I have thoroughly enj oyed writing this column , and it is my sincere hope that those who
read it found it worth the time and effort. It is also my hope that no one
ever found cause to take personal affront at anytning which appeared in
this column. However, a spade is a spade, and to call it anythin g else would
be a misrepresentation of truth , and truth is often a painfu l topic for discussion. But my main purpose here is to .say a few final words of parting,
but such few and final words often grow into lengthy digressions. Heaven
forbid! May I say again in declaring the Doghouse in permanent adj ournment that it has been a lot of fun being with you. Happy vacationing and
good luck always , everywhere.

Back on October 16 the Doghouse made its debut , and in the very beginning stated that it would be a column "where the chaiT . would be run
through with the oats." Now, in looking back , it seems that there has been
a heck of a lot of chaff and very little oats. In the course of getting this
column out every week, the English language has been booted around to the
tune of some 22,000 words, and what all of them have amounted to, if anything, would be hard to tell. At any rate, comes now the time to take a
hasty backward look at campus life as. it was seen through the Doghouse
door during the past two semesters. With no attempt toward final authority,
this listing of persons and events stack up somewhat as follows :
Biggest success—The informal dances in the old gym. Let's have more of
the same next year.
Biggest failure—The drinking fountain campaign. No inconvenience as long
as the canteen was open.
Biggest surprise—The new improved women's chorus. The sweetest singing
on this side of heaven , aided and abetted by the Nightingale from Nescopeck.
Biggest disappointment—The basketball season. No offense meant, fellows.
The breaks jus t weren't in your favor.
Best professional assembly entertainment—George Johnson and his "Bach
» to Boogie." A totally unexpected gem by a master showman.
Best student entertainment—For laughs: Franky and Johnny . For novelty :
The Andy Mack Trio. For cultural value: The Von Bergen-Wagner piano
duo. In general, a student body filled to the brim with talented performers.
Best faculty entertainment—Mrs. Beeman's lecture on spinning. A gifted
sense of humor combined with an authoritive talk.
Best master of ceremonies—Ben Burness with his masterpiece in the Frosh
Follies. The plumber with philosophy in his humor.
^
Best Entertainment (period)—Watching
the Husky gridiron juggernaut
slaughter its opposition. Things won 't be the same without Donan and
Luchnick, however.
Best groaner—Though we didn 't, hear much from him on the campus, George
Kearney still pulled through with his laurels intact. Some might take
Mr. Mystery.
Academy Award motion picture—The epic "N ight School in Merry Olde
England." Now we know what Churchill meant when he referred to dark
' days.
Most unreliable—The school time system. There is a very beautiful legend
telling why the bells only ring once every hundred years.
Most hit or miss—The Doghouse predictions. But don't worry about it. This
is the last edition.
Most sorely missed—The pin-up pictures in the Waller Hall dorm. Maybe
mother will let us put our Esquire clippings on the walls at home.
Most popular pastime—Sleeping in class. Didn 't get in until 3 a.m.
Most popular fad—Horn-rimmed glasses. The first step toward acquiring
professional dignity.
Most overworked—The Maroon and Gold staff. They began weekly and
ended weakly.
Most popular statement—"I'm really going to bear down next year." A noble
sentiment , but isn't that what we said last year?

Dr. J * Almus Russell
Publishes Article in
New England Ma gazine
An article, "Cordwood for Locomotives," by J. Almus Russell, of the
College English Department, was published in the overdue January, 1949,
issue of "Old Time New England," a
quarterly magazine specializing in
ancient buildings , household furnishings, domestic arts, manners and customs, and minor antiquities of the
New England people.
This publication is one of a series
of "Forgotten H o m e Industries,"
which deals with early New England
customs and crafts as Dr. Russell
knew them in his youth, or heard of
them from elderly friends and relatives.
About 1850, the author writes,
many farmers discovered a profitable
home industry .— supplying cordwood
for wood-burning locomotives. Providing such wood for the new railway
engines rapidly became an important
business, with men, oxen, and horses
hired all year round to cut and haul
fuel, for a period of twenty-five years,
until coal finally took the place of
wood, and consequently did away
with the industry.

of our time , an d w e f oun d t h at we h a d a team t h at played five hundred ball , w h ich wasn 't bad considering the caliber of basketball

For a long time now the extreme radicals of Realism have been
propagating their principles in a forceful effort to demolish the powers
of Idealism. As civilization becomes more complex , this struggle will
become more serious.
Idealism is the basis of all creative thoug ht; it is the root of all
genius and inventiveness. When man- has discovered every contrivable thing and when he has exposed every thing that is discoverable ,
then and only then , has Idealism reached its consummation.
Has this acme been attained? Is man 's store of inventiveness spent?
Or are there yet within him untouched hoards of genius waiting to be
revealed? (mm )

The race of man pass by him in its

This year approximatel y 315,000 students will graduate from the
colleges and universities throug hout the United States. Upon graduation , the prime objective of most of this vast number of students will
be to secure employment in those fields and pro fessions for which
they have been educated and trained , and which seem to offer the
best opportunities for advancement.
Just what are their chances for obtaining these positions they
so earnestly desire? A few years back , this could emphatically answered in the affirmative. At that time , a college degree was regarded
as , "The golden key that would open all doors of opportunity . " Today, this situation has undergone vast changes , The number or people
holding college degrees has increased tremendously, and it is not
inconceivable that within the not-too-distant future a college degree
will be the minimum requirement for most positions.
Competition will be keen in all fields and occupations in the next
few years. The teaching profession is at the present time slowly beginning to realize a period of adequacy in personnel in many areas,
Thu s, it is hi g hl y important that each student absorb as much information and material relating to his particular field as possible.
It will pr obably be only after graduation that each student will
come to realize the appropriateness of the following statement: "Th e

by the genial "Doc " Nelson in 1935,
and led by the Litwhiler boys Danny
and Woody, went through a twelvegame , schedule , without , bungling.
Let's match it anyway.
One of the highspots of the ball
club has been the terrific amount of
long-ball clubbing the boys have been
demonstrating. They can claim no
less than six men who have belted
the apple out of the park thus far.
Paul Slobozien, Johnnie Czemiakowski , Greek Lambrinos, Mike Evans,
Buck Byham, and Don But ler have
all crashed one or more four-masters.
In a dditi on , the team has had its
share of two-baggers, and the prettiest of all hits—the triple.
The remaining three contests on
the schedule are carded for airy
Mount Olympus. You fans who as
yet haven't- seen the boys in action
should make a concerted effort to do
so. It is our hope, however, that the
opposition will be a bit stronger than
that furnished the Huskies in their
other two previous home encounters.
We took in that contest with the
Second Army last week and were
thoroughly bored with the whole affair. It was a little too one-sided to
prove entertaining for the average
baseball fan. And then too, those
twelve boots committed by the "doggies" didn 't add to the Interest of the
game. Far be it from us to detract
from the brilliant victories turned in
by our boys, but we would like to see
less sloppy baseball than that displayed last Friday.
NOTES FROM H E R E AND
THERE . . . Eddie Allegar has been
released by Erie of the Middle Atlantic League and sent to Bristol of
the Applachian (Class D) League.
Eddie's playing third base nowadays

The Second Army baseball squad
bowed to the Huskies on May 6 to
th e t u ne of a 14 t o 1 scor e as the
home team slugged three homers and
Mike Evans allowed only five hits
and gave only one free ticket.
Butler led off in the first inning
with a circuit clout that set the pace
that was continued by Slobozien and
Czerniakowski as they each polled
four-baggers.
Ev a ns ' brilliant pitching pulled the
Huskies out of the fire in the second
frame when he se.t three doughboys
down with the bases loaded. Evans
lost a shutout in the ninth when he
gave up a single and a double which
gave the soldiers their only run. The
Fort Meade squad collected j ust five
hits, three in the second inning and
two in the ninth.

They Call Me the Dreamer . . .
Here is an intimate peek into the inner sanctum of the kennel wher? a
kettle of strange thoughts has been boiling all year. Into the kettle was
thrown a deficiency slip with the number "13" written on the back , also a
business office memorandum concerning payment of activity fees, a shirgle
from the roof of Scienee- Hall , the bladder of an old volley ball , a salmon
croquette from the dining hall , three cigaret butts swept up during a full
moon , a spade flush from a pinochle deck , and the neck from a broken
Budweiser bottle. This was brought to a slow boil while the constitution of
the C.G.A. was recited backwards with care not to establish any dangerous
precedents. Out of the vapor came the following visions : A new, larger
college canteen with fountain service—Scholarships for the Dionne quintuplets so that we might have five identical May Queens in 1956—A cow tethered to one of the legs of each dining hall table, with all optional accessories
included so that a flagon of cold , homogenized , grnde A, pasteurized milk
could be drawn with little or no effort—Cigaret vending machines that would
issue free weeds plus a movie ticket—A corps of Stale employees to do term
papers and book reports—Assembly entertainment direct from Broadway,
with definite partiality shown the Maids from Minsky 's—A minimum quality
point average of .0001.

This is Where I Came In . . .
And so concludes the 25th and final edition of the Doghouse. As was
previously noted , what it has all amounted to is hard to say. I have thoroughly enj oyed writing this column , and it is my sincere hope that those who
read it found it worth the time and effort. It is also my hope that no one
ever found cause to take personal affront at anytning which appeared in
this column. However, a spade is a spade, and to call it anythin g else would
be a misrepresentation of truth , and truth is often a painfu l topic for discussion. But my main purpose here is to .say a few final words of parting,
but such few and final words often grow into lengthy digressions. Heaven
forbid! May I say again in declaring the Doghouse in permanent adj ournment that it has been a lot of fun being with you. Happy vacationing and
good luck always , everywhere.

Back on October 16 the Doghouse made its debut , and in the very beginning stated that it would be a column "where the chaiT . would be run
through with the oats." Now, in looking back , it seems that there has been
a heck of a lot of chaff and very little oats. In the course of getting this
column out every week, the English language has been booted around to the
tune of some 22,000 words, and what all of them have amounted to, if anything, would be hard to tell. At any rate, comes now the time to take a
hasty backward look at campus life as. it was seen through the Doghouse
door during the past two semesters. With no attempt toward final authority,
this listing of persons and events stack up somewhat as follows :
Biggest success—The informal dances in the old gym. Let's have more of
the same next year.
Biggest failure—The drinking fountain campaign. No inconvenience as long
as the canteen was open.
Biggest surprise—The new improved women's chorus. The sweetest singing
on this side of heaven , aided and abetted by the Nightingale from Nescopeck.
Biggest disappointment—The basketball season. No offense meant, fellows.
The breaks jus t weren't in your favor.
Best professional assembly entertainment—George Johnson and his "Bach
» to Boogie." A totally unexpected gem by a master showman.
Best student entertainment—For laughs: Franky and Johnny . For novelty :
The Andy Mack Trio. For cultural value: The Von Bergen-Wagner piano
duo. In general, a student body filled to the brim with talented performers.
Best faculty entertainment—Mrs. Beeman's lecture on spinning. A gifted
sense of humor combined with an authoritive talk.
Best master of ceremonies—Ben Burness with his masterpiece in the Frosh
Follies. The plumber with philosophy in his humor.
^
Best Entertainment (period)—Watching
the Husky gridiron juggernaut
slaughter its opposition. Things won 't be the same without Donan and
Luchnick, however.
Best groaner—Though we didn 't, hear much from him on the campus, George
Kearney still pulled through with his laurels intact. Some might take
Mr. Mystery.
Academy Award motion picture—The epic "N ight School in Merry Olde
England." Now we know what Churchill meant when he referred to dark
' days.
Most unreliable—The school time system. There is a very beautiful legend
telling why the bells only ring once every hundred years.
Most hit or miss—The Doghouse predictions. But don't worry about it. This
is the last edition.
Most sorely missed—The pin-up pictures in the Waller Hall dorm. Maybe
mother will let us put our Esquire clippings on the walls at home.
Most popular pastime—Sleeping in class. Didn 't get in until 3 a.m.
Most popular fad—Horn-rimmed glasses. The first step toward acquiring
professional dignity.
Most overworked—The Maroon and Gold staff. They began weekly and
ended weakly.
Most popular statement—"I'm really going to bear down next year." A noble
sentiment , but isn't that what we said last year?

also time for your Kitten to bid farewell to the word-worn Yarn. We will
tie the knot with a final purr of
thanks — to the faculty, for taking a
lot of good-natured ribbing as such ;
to the rest of the M&G staff , especially my assistant, Audrey Terrel ,
for much needed confidence and encouragement; to the many people
who volunteered bits of news each
week; and last but not least , to all
of you readers who were kind enough
to stick by the Kitten , even when the
Yarn was pretty weak In spots! A
sad so-long to the graduating seniors.
Sunny vacation to the rest of you !
