It seems, he showed up one day at the bar racks without any special or ders and has been more or less attached unassigned ever sinee. Resembling in part a great dane and in another part some thing else, Rodney has started a one-dog panzer movement in the ranks. He never misses reveille and is usually right on time for other formations, where he runs the sergeant plenty of competition when it comes to roll call. As a result of his barking, orders for the day are often all mixed up. Dur ing the day he sets as his main objective tying up traffic and as a side line, frightens coeds, roars at innocent civilians, and sets a bad example for all peace loving, well-mannered Univers ity dogs. According to Capt. F. \V. Beckman, Company A com mander, Rodney is a personality problem that must be taken care of. If his owner does not take steps to see that he is painlessly removed front the army, he is very apt to become eligible for something resemb ling a dishonorable discharge. Will Rodney's owner please co operate so that the army can proceed with the war?
