Grant Renewal
Renewal of a grant-in-aid of
$1,000 from the Agricultural
Chemicals Division of the Amer 1 -

received by the Texas Agricultural
Experiment Station. i

of the substation at Lubbock, Dr.
R. D. Lewis, director, said.
(Editor’s Note: Because we
have so many episodes over dogs
here, we decided to run this
story even though Camp Hood
summer camp ended Friday.)
Maybe dogs attract Aggies Or
maybe Aggies attract dogs blit
which ever way it is, there always
seem to be a lot of canines arourid
when the cadets from A&M are
ita the area.
And so it is at’ Camp Hood
where 61 Aggies are taking cav
alry training.
When the ROTC students first
dragged into Camp Hood there
wasn’t a dog to be seen. Then,' not
three hours after our arrival a
beautiful German police dog made
its appearance. However, this par
ticular dog turned out to belong
to the Company F supply officer,
Lt. Kochlie. j
Then about two weeks ago. on
a peaceful evening John Taylor,
an Aggie of F Company, came
strolling down from the PX and
tailing him whs a large, .gray,
mixed breed dog.
Nobody knows where it came
from. One day it showed up be
side the mess hall door and chances

ually an Aggie, is feeding it left-]
overs frotn the evening meal.:
The lieutenant's j police dog
fares pretty well too. At first
it refused to.eat any Of the
dozens of tempting morsels plac
ed before it. But now it realizes
that none of the cadeUt have
designs pn its life and it will
gobble up anything in sight.
In fact,' the lieutenant's dog,
Major by name, fares better than
we do many times. It follows the
supply officer around all day and
night.. Out on the rifle ran^e while
the cadets were sweating in the
sun the dog slept under the watet
trailer.
‘When we were driving tanks the
dog snoozed in the shade of near

Major gets to stay up past the
cadet’s 11 p. m. too. Anjd, when
the lieutenant has th<> duty officer’s
job, the dog makes bedcheck with
the officer. More than one cadet
has been wakened during the early
part of the night by a cold muzzle
and slobbering tongue.
And, to top off the insults.
Major rides while we walk. To
day the two companies of cavalry
were, slogging along in the dust
dnd sun almost content with their
lot. Then, out of the distance-ap
peared a three quarter ton (ruck.
The lieutenant rode in front and
perched sercnly in the fear was
our friendly police dog, Major.
But would he give j us a friendly
glance? No. He just held his head
high in the air and breezed right,

of recognition. ) M|i. • i
But he’ll be around when the
mess call rings tonight and we'll
all be friends again. 'f. ji /
