Reveille IV visited the TAMU campus this week to be examined at the School of Veterinary Medicine. Bob Vanderberry, 1975-76 mascot corporal and Don Jones, 1974-75 mascot corporal, chose the dog after reviewing the pedigrees of several Collies and looking at one other. Born May 1, 1975, Rev IV was donated to the TAMU student body by Dr. Thomas L. Godwin, Deer Park veterinarian. Arrangements for her selection were made by Mike Clark, 1975-76 commander of Company E-2 in the Corps of Cadets. Her American Kennel Club registration papers are due shortly. Vanderberry said Rev IV will attend A&M football games this fall, although Vanderberry may have to carry her in pre-game parades. He hopes, however, to have her leash-trained. Rev’s first pre-kick off run across Kyle Field will probably come in 1976. One of her first duties will be to attend burial rites for Reveille III. The service was postponed so TAMU’s 1975-76 student body could be present. Reveille IV and Bob Vanderberry, 1975-76 mascot Sunflowers may become important cash crop West Texas farmers are introduc ing sunflowers as a new money crop. Recent planting intentions indi cate that enthusiasm is high. Sunflowers are economically attrac tive for two reasons. They can be planted late in the season on crop land destroyed by hail or frost. Also, there is a good market for sunflower seed oil. A team of scientists is embarking on a two-year project to produce low-fiber sunflower meal and food grade flour. The US DA financed operation involves varieties of sunflowers de veloped in Russia and improved in the U.S. Their seeds yield around 50 percent oil. Texans have planted about a quarter-million acres of sunflowers, approximately one-fifth of the U. S. total. “These sunflowers are different from the birdseed variety and what is sold for human snacks,’’ said Dr. Karl Mattil, head of the Food Pro tein Research and Development Center. “In improving the oil content of the seeds the hulls have become hard to remove,” he said. “The oil mill has difficulty removing them from the seeds, and as a result the meal is gray with high fiber content. It can only be used for feeding cat tle, sheep and goats. “What we intend to do is reduce the fiber content so that sunflower meal can be used in human food and as swine and poultry feed,” Mattil said. Production of sunflower oil has increased steadily since commercial crushing of sunflower seeds began in 1967. Experience has shown that sunflowers are an alternative cash crop in certain areas of the Cotton Belt and in the Midwest. Plains co-op managers are cur rently contracting with growers for sunflower seeds. They already have oilseed processing equipment. Sunflowers offer an attractive po tential because they can be proces sed with little or no change in equipment, Mattil said. “The investigation will com mence shortly after the seed from the 1975 sunflower crop is availa ble, Mattil said. “It is estimated that the research plan can be ac complished in about a two-year period. Members of the team include Dr. Carl M. Cater, Dr. Peter J. Wan and Stanley W. Matlock. Shuffler dies after lengthy illness Henderson Shuffler, former director of information and pub lications for the TAMU System, died Sunday night in a Houston hospital after a lengthy illness. Funeral services were to be held today at 3 p.m. at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in San Antonio. Shuffler headed information activities for TAMU from 1947 until 1962, when he joined the University of Texas staff to direct an expanded Texana program. He was named executive director of the Institute of Texan Cultures in San Antonio when the University of Texas took over the facility. A 1929 TAMU graduate, he joined his alma mater’s staff in 1943 as executive director of the development fund. He was named the college’s director of information and publications in 1947 and was given system responsibilities the following year. Prior to joining TAMU, he was in the newspaper business at Odessa. He began his career as editor of the weekly News- Times, which became a daily in 1938 and later merged with another paper to become the Odessa American. He was general manager of the paper at the time he came to TAMU. c.„, r 4 # ..•v **or» «/ acra s Porf Shit v trta The Gentleman’s Quarter M Town S Country Center jgjK HBJW i 29TH OI>E.N 9-6 MON-SAT M6-1J06 WK “SAVE A BUNDLE” Remember the old, Cash and Carry, money saving trick?
