ember of Company 2 and freshman
hnder of the |First Battalion*, says, “If our guidon
nailed .atop thii gym or flying from some latrine, we
would classify it as ( ‘good bull’ and let it go at that, but it’s
just pissing. We faiijt find it.”
| Now, fellows, ti guidoji, if you,don’t know, is not very

men )n the t)quccj eompahy realize that, and now seem to
except the, Battalion classified ads. : During

the Ihfantrymin nave to reach deep into their pockets

of several valuableiWebks without a guidon, without which

The Deucemen ?were further irked this wepk, when they
i ^..thought, afteriMonday's pass-by review, that they would be
.’ disqualified as^rei^ult of the loss of thejr standard. Broad-
* -. minded staff officials, however, disregarded this in their
ratings of the review. This may have foiled the plans of
some individjumior^tpup of individuals for revenge on the
Wo men, but we don’t thinks so. , If the

hunting, for Aggie* just don’t operate that way.
The leaders iof the men with the lost guidon say that
they, aren’t interested in who took the standard, but only in
i ffettlncr it haek. I We hope, that by the time our editorial
idon has been returned to its proper
.‘".Qwner, and that, be (ither such incident will occur, whereby

‘Tripod 9 Becomes Pet Of
Annex; Has Great Speed
By WILLIE DAVIS
Along with our many new cadets
who enrolled at the beginning of
this semester came quite a charac-
tof. It is very seldom that one sees
a three-legged dog, but that is ex
actly what the Annex was bestow
ed with. He arrived by some mys
terious and unknown circumstarrofs
and soon became the unofficial
mascot of Little Aggieland.
Some witty freshman imme
diately gave this canine a most
natural and appropriate name—
Tripod. No doubt the genius of
nomenclature was a survey-hap
py engineer.
At first, the cadets took pity on
the dog w^d lacked a leg, but soon
the creatufre showed that he want
ed none of it. Cadets are amazed
daily at the speed and dexterity
with which the dog moves. For
breakfast he is seen in the mess
hall, by eight o’clock, he might be
